To th e Senior Class o f 2012 and all Eagles: As I arrived a t m y office fo r m y very firs t day a t PCDS, I noticed a decal th a t had been affixed to th e glass o f th e fro n t door. On th e decal w as a Chinese character, and below it w as an e xp lanation o f its s ig n ifi足 cance: "This sym bol m eans cham eleon, it repre足 se n ts both change and ease. For change to be easy, it m u s t be em braced, as th e cham eleon does. Celebrate change." I've chosen to leave th e decal on m y door because I th in k it's a nice re m in de r a b o u t how we should approach one o f th e n a tu 足 ral rh y th m s o f life: change. M uch as I have s ta rte d a new phase o f m y life here a t Phoenix C ountry Day School, fifty -e ig h t o f you w ill soon s ta rt a new phase of yours in college. I w ish you th e best o f fo rtu n e s as you em brace and celebrate th e challenges of yo u r new a d ventures. M ay you all be as adaptable as th e cham eleon. Sincerely, A ndrew M. Rodin Head o f School

Our beloved Ms, Treadway is truly an example for all of us here at PCDS. Despite her battle with cancer in 2009, she still comes to school every day with a smile on her face and a laugh that resonates through the quad, From morning meetings to conversations in passing, she is a ubiquitous force of loving guidance and joy. Whether its helping us fix our computers or monitoring the computer lab to make sure that no mischief occurs, she s our go-to gal for all of our problems. When we need a shoulder to cry on, Ms. Treadway does not judge and can always spare a moment for advice, She closes our lockers for us when we 'forget' to and reminds us how to line up for bus and fire drills through her oh-so snazzy Powerpoint presentations. Of course, every Southern girl has a fun side; brave and audacious Ms. Treadway tackled parachuting this past year, probably while listening to country music and grabbing a deal on _ GroupOn on her iPhone. Ms. Treadway brings this vibrant enthusiasm to every club, activity, and conversation she's involved in, acting as a personal cheerleader to all, PCDS would feel empty without her blue and gold spirit and bottom less dedication. Everyone, especially this senior class, has been touched by her presence on campus, so we dedicate this yearbook to her in appreciation of all she does. The Class of 2012 thanks you and loves you, Ms. Treadway!

"If nothing ever changed, there'd be no bu tte rflies." -A u th o r U nknow n As I w ander thro u g h th e Low er School classroom s and w itn e ss the trem en d o u s changes in th e children each year, I m arvel a t w h a t takes place. From barely holding a pencil in p re-kindergarten to form ing paragraphs and essays in fo u rth grade, th e developm ent of readÂ ing and w ritin g skills happens a t a phenom enal rate. The physical education teachers can a tte s t to the leap in m o to r skills and g row th of coordination during th is tim e period. A rtistic expresÂ sion, fro m sim ple draw ings to in trica te planned sculptures and painting, skyrockets as our stu d e n ts gain confidence and use th e ir im aginations. Singing sim ple nursery songs evolves into note-reading, and perform ances bring jo y * , and life to th e Low er School com m unity. In every subject each year, we "a d ju st accordingly" ^ to th e challenges in th e curriculum . N urturing 1 1 H I the child until he or she is ready to spread its L J rH ^ H I w ings is w h a t we do so well in th e Low er g fA y y la S ^ H ^ . School. I am g rateful fo r th e incredibly ta l- /, ented and caring fa cu lty w ho make sure th a t our budding b u tte rflie s take flig h t *1 ^ ^ each year, spreading th e ir w ings to M r . fly and share th e ir natural beauty - \ i, w ith the w orld. |||Â§ Ms. Thom m en, Head of the Lower School

It took a lot of pacing back and fo rth in my bedroom on Friday night before I could will m y self to sit down and w rite th is review. Why was I pacing back and forth? I was doing so because of the pressure to w rite a review th a t would do this show and the people th a t were in it justice. This eccentric show, Death to the Drama Club, is centered around a school board th at, because o f budget restraints, m ust find a school club to cut. The villanious and crazy tem porary principal, Ms. Grackle (played by Jillian Gilburne), decides th a t the club she w a n ts to cut is the Drama Club, led by the fairly insane, yet caring Ms. Goldberg (played by Kira Kirby). The rest of the school board seems to agree w ith Ms, Grackle's decision until th e y see the determ in atio n of Ms. Gold berg's dram a club m em bers to save th e ir club. The president of the club, Heidi (played by Claire Hayden) and the falsely accused prankster and talented w rite r, Vincent (played by Oliver M arsden) take the lead in trying to save the club. Much to Ms. Grackle's surprise, the school board decides to give the dram a club one week to put on th e ir own production of The Wizard ofOz. Like th e classic version th a t we all know and love, th is production includes such charac te rs as D orothy (played by Adriana Dunlap), the Scarecrow (played by Leah Chanen), the Tin Man (played by Carissa Wang), and the Lion (played by Rica Chan).However, unlike the original produc tion, these beloved characters do not act exactly as th e y did in the 1939 movie. In addition, there are some guest appearances from iconic charac te rs such as Mary from "M ary Had a Little L a m b ", Edgar Allan Poe, Juliet Capulet, Captain Ahab, and Scarlett O'Hara. The acting in th is show com pletely exceeded m y expectations in every way, shape, and form . I also enjoyed the costum e choices and the m ake up design. The stage crew, which included N ata lie Cohen, Jason Greenfield, Divya Agrawal, Amy Bedeir, Jordan Merkel, Anson Naum ann and Isa Pesquiera, could definitely be considered visionar ies in my opinion. The set, props, and everything else they contributed to this fabulous show were astounding. Finally, I w a n t to recognize the one and only Ms. Decker, the director of this comedy. If you came to this show, you would have seen th a t all the hard w ork she put into it definitely paid off. By Natalie Prieb 0^

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than politicians think. W e have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books. - Michel Foucault

W hat passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and na ve and goo-prone and generally pathetic. --David Foster W allace In fin ite J e s t a p t#

"This is the gift of your species and this is the danger, because you do not choose to control your imaginings. You imagine wonderful things and you imagine terrible things, and you take no responsibility fo r the choice. You say you have inside you both the power of good and the power of evil, the angel and the devil, but in truth you have just one thing inside you - the ability to imagine." ,Michael Crichton
