Letters to the Editor Nell Bushnell Cadue ’69 writes: In response to your Candid Class of 1970, those in the picture graduated in 1969 not 1970. The girl in the striped shirt is Bebe Ramos, The smiling boy is Bob Rathauser, the girl above him is Marjorie Burt, the boy with the flashlight is David Vomacka. I don’t remember the names of the other two girls but the scene took place in the office of the school nurse – Mrs. Brophy – who was great at letting us take naps in her little rooms.

Ann Wiley ’70 chimes in:

Editor’s Note:

In the Fall 2016 Journal, we featured a photo in the “Snapshots” titled “Candid, Class of 1970.” This title was written in pencil on the back of the photo in our archives. We asked our readers to help us identify the students in the photo and what they were doing, and received lots of great responses. Almost unanimously, our alums let us know that the photo featured students from the Class of 1969, not 1970…

Duly noted! Here are some of the letters we received.

First off, a big thanks to Rett Campbell ’70, Robert Rathauser ’69, and A. Richard Ross ’68 for letting us know in concise emails that it was the Class of ’69 not ’70. We also received some longer responses, filled with more memories…

Beth Healy ’69 writes: Just received the Journal and opened to last page – recognize this pix well – uh oh, makes me feel old but thanks for trip down memory lane :) I was in PDS class of 1969, and started at Miss Fine’s Kindergarten in 1956!! Photo is of the Class of 1969, probably taken in the fall 1968 or early 1969: Mary Lou Delehanty; Rick Judge; Margery Burt; Tom Spain; David Vomacka with flashlight ; Abby Sheldon with open mouth; Grace (Bebe) Ramus. Think this may have been the yearbook committee – hard at work... :)

Gale Colby Mirzayanov ’69 shares: The Candid photograph, Class of 1970 featured on page 114 is actually a photo of people in the class of 1969 (my graduating class). Lower left: Mary Lou Delahanty, Rick Judge getting patted by Bebe Ramus on the right, Margery Burt behind Rick.

Being her Tommy Spain, David Vomacka and Abby Sheldon (left to right).

JOURNAL

I don’t know why it was taken but I think it is in the nurse’s office; the people in the photo I believe (although not 100% sure on all) are from left to right: Front: MaryLou Delahanty, Rick Judge, Bebe Ramus, don’t know the woman behind Rick Judge; back: Tom Spain, David Van Houten and Blair Lee.

Abby Sheldon-Dean ’69 expounds further: I remember the Snapshots photo in this Fall’s Journal, almost well! It is actually of members of the class of 1969, in one of seven “group shots” taken for The Link that year. (You can find all 7 in the ’69 Link, pages 77-79.) From left to right: Merilu Delahanty, Rick Judge, Margery Burt, Tommy Spain, David Vomacka, Abby Sheldon, Bebe (Grace) Ramus. From some reason, I think we were in the office of our beloved nurse, Mrs. Brophy, which would explain the “medical” theme. So yes, the photo is staged, and I feel like the photographer was the same unknown-to-me, patient man who took our senior portraits. A lot of the pictures in The Link that year have a charming arty vibe — it was 1969, after all. Love to my fellow picture-mates, and thanks so much for unearthing that photo and exposing it to the light of day!

Tony Blair ’69 shines a light: Actually it was Class of 1969. I took the picture as photo editor for the yearbook. Look in the ’69 Link and you will find it, along with the club they represented. And names. Dave Vomacka is using the flashlight. I think it’s Bebe Ramos checking Rick Judge’s pulse…. I think it was in the nurse’s office, and the club had something to do with health, but it’s been a while. It was candidly posed, in that I just asked them to find things and play around. Anyway, it was a delight to see this on the back page. Laura Lamar was the yearbook editor that year, or one of them. We had fun. Look at the first and last pages of the yearbook, too: kindergarteners going in and seniors walking out (including Laura).

River Friendly Certification from Watershed

The Wrap-In In December, our Lower School students gathered to wrap gifts donated by the entire community to benefit foster children through the One Simple Wish Foundation. Lower School teacher and Community Service Coordinator Margie Wallace Gibson ’84, who helped organize the event, asked students and families to consider purchasing small gifts, including coloring books, play dough, crayons/markers, small toys, and sports equipment for all ages for the drive. As she noted, “Whatever you think will brighten a child’s day is perfect.”

In November, Brittany Musolino from the Stony BrookMillstone Watershed Association came to campus and announced that Princeton Day School had earned the highest level of the River-Friendly School Program Certification, the “Watershed Level,” for its work on various water-related, hands-on lessons and projects.

In particular, she noted the installation of a new rain garden near the playgrounds and organic garden, but the certification took into account projects conducted at all grade levels, including the 4th and 9th grade pond studies, stream and canal clean-ups, the applied chemistry water unit, installation of bird and bat houses on campus, a rain barrel bicycle pump in the outdoor classroom, and schoolwide composting. From left to right, Paul Stellato, Brittany Musolino, and LS Science teacher Aaron Schomburg.

Third grader Rowan Field placed 12th and her sister Lila Field placed 16th in the K-3 Championship section, and the PDS girls were 3rd place team. Also in February, at Brookdale College in Lincroft, N.J., our team competed in the New Jersey Primary, Elementary and Junior High Championship. Chess teacher Bonnie Waitzkin noted, “Our great Elementary players were first place team with 15 1/2 points.” In Elementary K-6, sixth grader Winston Ni was second, fifth grader Eric Wu 6th, fifth grader Aadi Shankar 10th, and Eric Jiang was first in second grade. Dodge Martinson was fourth in Junior High with four wins out of five games.

Ask the College Counselor A Growth Mindset Approach to the College Admissions Process

By Sarah Graham

Service Learning. Growth Mindset. Grit. Health and Wellness.

One hears these terms thrown around often today as forward-thinking schools seek to innovate and prepare their graduates for the future. Indeed, character education continues to gain traction as a priority for schools to integrate into their curriculum.

Where does the college admissions process fit into these conversations? I’m asked regularly – by colleagues, fellow parents, and even some students – about how character education and wellness, laudable as they may be, can take hold in the national college admissions landscape that seemingly gets more fraught, competitive, and stressful by the year.

I’m not the only one pondering the intersection between college admissions and character education. Last year, Harvard University released Turning the Tide – an extensive report suggesting how the power of college admissions process could be harnessed to encourage students to develop attributes like empathy. Essentially, how can colleges urge students to pay attention to building strong character along with strong transcripts and resumes? Books such as How To Raise An Adult and Grit joined the chorus, pushing back on the craze surrounding college admissions, emphasizing the importance of building skills to help students be prepared not only for the admissions process but also life beyond.

This buzz all resonates deeply with me. I’ve always viewed the college admissions process as so much more than simply filling out activities lists and cranking out just one more draft of that college essay. It can be about reflecting deeply on one’s educational experiences so far (both in and outside of the classroom), identifying patterns and understanding better the types of mentors, environments, and friends who motivate them to be their best students – and their best selves.

From that self-understanding can spring a rich, authentic story to convey to college admissions officers; it almost happens naturally. The hype swirling around the college admissions process – and the industry that has emerged to capitalize on that hype – unfortunately overshadows that more noble core. The process of applying to college can actually be a rich opportunity for self-discovery and learning rather than something simply to “get through.”

At Princeton Day School, we aim to both push students to new heights, while also supporting their individual skills, talents, and weaknesses. PDS students are able to truly get to know themselves well through hard work and access to opportunities of a lifetime; in turn, they are richly prepared to engage with the admissions process to the fullest.

At PDS, students are preparing for the college admissions process every day by actively engaging in their lives here; building a solid academic foundation that considers challenge and balance while having opportunities to test how far they can take the activities they love. That’s why they then go on to become academic award-winners, Class Presidents, theater stars, and athletic leaders as PDS alums. In essence, they’ve built such a strong foundation here, and building on that story doesn’t stop once they tell a piece of it to colleges. To be sure, the results of admissions matter to us, but so too does the process and the resilience, self-awareness, and character that students build through it.

In short, in my view, character education need not be something considered at odds with the college admissions process. In fact, the college admissions process – approached with the right mindset – can both reflect and build strong character. Happily, college admissions offices “admit” this too.

The 2016 Girls Varsity Soccer team celebrates their co-championship after a rainout on “Super Sunday.”

Super Sunday On October 30, Princeton Day School Boys Varsity Soccer, Varsity Field Hockey and Girls Varsity Soccer each claimed a NJISAA Prep B Championship Title on home turf.

As the tournament brackets fell into place, Director of Athletics Tim Williams knew we were in for a big Sunday on campus. Parents, students, alumni and fans all came out to support our teams in back-to-back contests, and were not disappointed.

With a 1:00 p.m. start on Baker Field, Boys Varsity Soccer defeated Newark Academy 1-0 for the title. On Smoyer at 2:00 p.m., while the boys still battled, Varsity Field Hockey took on Stuart Country Day, winning it 2-0 for the title. At 3:00 p.m. on Baker, Girls Varsity Soccer met with Montclair Kimberly Academy. It was 0-0 with 6:25 remaining when play was suspended due to thunder. The weather did not cooperate and the teams were declared Co-Champions.

Mr. Williams remarked, “It was an amazing fall season for all these teams and a historic Sunday afternoon for PDS.”

Children of Alumni Playing an Upper School Sport

Thoughts from a Varsity Coach on a Turnaround Season “This Field Hockey season was one that catapulted our program back into the competitive ranks within Mercer County, the Prep League, and Pennsylvania. Last year, this team won six games, scored 26 goals, and was ranked 15 out of 18 in the county. This year we started out with a 9-0 run and it was reported we were overrated and untested. We finished 16-4 overall losing to only three opponents. We outscored our opponents 72 goals to 20, we had four players who registered 30 or more points, we had 11 out of 15 players register at least one point, and we posted 11 shut outs. We played in the Mercer County final for the first time since 1998 and finished 2nd overall. We also won the Prep B State Title for the first time since 1998. I’d like to congratulate the girls for their hard work, their commitment to each other, and their competitiveness throughout the season.”

PDS Boys Varsity Soccer kicked off the season with new head coach Ollie Hilliker and assistant coach Charlie Alt. The highlight of the season was winning the Prep B State Championship for the first time since 2010 (and only the third time in school history.)

Along the way, the team faced and overcame some distinct challenges with victories over top competitors, Hopewell Valley 1-0, Blair Academy 6-2, and Lawrenceville School 2-0. Coach Hilliker remarked, “the determination and commitment from this fantastic group of players resulted in an extremely successful season all around, concluding with a Prep B State Championship.”

Girls Varsity Soccer Prep B Champions 16W – 1L – 3T Varsity Award – Madison Coyne ’18 Coaches Awards – Abby Atkeson ’17, Emily Simons ’17 Coach Pat Trombetta is extremely proud of his Girls Varsity Soccer team for this exceptional season. “To remain undefeated during the regular season while playing all of the local Prep A opponents on the road is a great achievement.

Second-year coach Heather Farlow commented, “this season was absolutely outstanding! We were able to start strong, and ended up competing in two different tournament championship games.

Winning the Prep B State Championship was the perfect way to end an amazing season.” The team won the Mercer County Tournament semi-final game in OT over defending champs Allentown.

Girls Varsity Tennis W8 – L3 Varsity Award – Touria Salvati ’17 Coaches Awards – Arya Jha ’18, Tarika Kumar ’18 Following big wins in the regular season over Blair Academy and Wardlaw-Hartridge School, the Girls Varsity Tennis team showed a great effort at the Mercer County Tournament and the Prep B Championship. Coach Ed Tseng reflected, “I was very pleased with the attitudes, effort, and sportsmanship of the 2016 PDS Girls Varsity tennis team.”

Winter Sports Roundup Boys Varsity Basketball 18W – 9L Varsity Award – David Coit ’19, Coaches Award – Chase Lewis ’17, John McArthur ’17 The Boys Varsity Basketball team enjoyed a successful season with 18 wins, the most for this program since 2013. Two players, Chase Lewis ’17 and John McArthur ’17, scored their 1000th point. The team clinched the Solebury Tip-Off Classic Tournament with wins over Solebury and Pennington for the title. Coach Tim Williams observed, “We had a fantastic season. Our team set some lofty goals at the beginning of the year, and we accomplished almost all of them. Our record was incredible against a very tough schedule, but our success goes much deeper than wins and losses. I can’t tell you how proud our coaching staff is of these guys.”

Girls Varsity Basketball 8W – 17L Varsity Award – Ryan Robinson ’18 Coaches Award – Bridget Kane ’18, Shayla Stevenson ’17 Highlights of the Girls Varsity Basketball season included hard-earned wins over West Windsor Plainsboro South on Senior night, and a tenacious South Hunterdon team. But the close misses that showed such great improvement over previous match-ups (Pennington School) were equally as meaningful.

“Quite often throughout this 2016-2017 season this group of girls would look across the court and see an opposing team that was much bigger, stronger, faster and more experienced.

However, the way these girls got together and played under those circumstances was really a sight to see,” reflected Coach Kamau Bailey.

Varsity Fencing Girls’ Team – Prep B Champions Boys 7W – 5L Girls 7W – 4L Boys Varsity Award – Henry Reynolds ’17 Coaches Award – Jack Dallessio ’17, Charles McLatchy ’18 Girls Varsity Award – Christina Tian ’17 Coaches Award – Abby Ling’17, Michele Lan’17 The Girls Varsity Fencing team came out victorious this February clinching the overall NJISAA Prep B Championship Title, as well as first place in Girls Foil.

The Boys Varsity Fencing team also secured first place in Boys Foil. Sarah Prilutsky ’18 and Chris Kiel ’18 each placed first in Individual Foil. Coach Hussein Tolba remarked, “What an amazing finish to our season! Our fencers finished with five trophies (one overall, two team and two individuals). I am so proud; they worked so hard and it paid off.”

Boys Varsity Ice Hockey Prep B Champions W13 – L11 – T2 Varsity Award – Logan Kramsky ’17 Coaches Award – Jack Mascali ’17, Gianluca Travia ’17 Boys Varsity Ice Hockey had an impressive season winning the NJISAA Prep Championship, the HRM ’51 Invitational, and placing 4th in the Mid-Atlantic Hockey League. In regards to the Prep Championship, Coach Scott Bertoli remarked, “I was really impressed with the way we played from start to finish. From the drop of the puck through the final buzzer, we controlled the game and ultimately deserved to win against a very good team, Morristown-Beard. The win also allowed our seniors to bookend their playing careers at PDS with Prep Championships in 2014 and 2017.”

Girls Varsity Ice Hockey W15 – L11 – T1 Varsity Award – Kristi Serafin ’17, Coaches Award – Annika Asplundh ’17, Kiely French ’17 From the start of the season, the Girls Varsity Ice Hockey team set their sights on getting better as a group and keeping a

positive team culture. This mentality established the foundation they relied on when faced with several injuries to top players throughout the season. The team won the Harry Rulon-Miller ’51 Invitational, competed in the NJISAA Prep Championship game, and earned 3rd place in the Women’s Interscholastic Hockey League of the Mid-Atlantic (WIHLMA) with a dramatic overtime win over state rival Morristown-Beard.

Coach Lorna Cook noted that, “given the injuries we faced and the tougher schedule we played this winter, our 15 wins are that much more impressive. As coaches, we couldn’t be more proud of the way this group stayed together and worked hard for each other.”

Varsity Squash 3W – 10L Varsity Award – Noah Liao ’17, Coaches Award – Rakesh Potluri ’19 The Varsity Squash team finished the season with a record of three wins and 10 losses. The team earned victories over Delbarton 4-3, Lawrenceville JV 7-0, and Hun 6-1, and close 3-4 losses to Princeton Junior Squash and Poly Prep JV.

Varsity Volleyball 4W – 5L Varsity Award – Abby Atkeson ’17 Coaches Award – Clara Love’18, Eleanor Myers ’19 PDS Varsity Volleyball made significant strides with this season’s accomplishments. The team defeated Germantown Academy multiple times, and powerhouse Shipley School for the first time. Coach Paul Lano declared, “I have never had a team, in any sport, improve as dramatically as this year’s Varsity Volleyball.”

Three Giants of the Institution Retire Denise Bencivengo

Denise Bencivengo, Marie Shock, and Jane Spencer to Retire It was announced in the spring that three “giants of the institution,” to use Head of School Paul Stellato’s apt language, will be retiring from Princeton Day School at the end of the year. Denise Bencivengo has been at PDS for 33 years, primarily teaching Spanish to our Upper School students, but also serving as a dedicated and beloved Class Dean and Interim Head of both Middle and Upper School. She received the esteemed Whitlock Award in 2002. Marie Shock has

worked at PDS for 23 years, serving as Upper School Assistant, Summer Programs Assistant, and, since 2002, as the Assistant to Lower School. Her unflappable and friendly demeanor has been indispensable to our faculty, parents, and, of course, Lower School students. Jane Spencer has taught Upper School Chemistry since 2007, and was awarded a Rosenberg Grant (with Kim Collura) in 2015. Her Mole Day celebrations and special PDS Periodic Table are PDS traditions. These three dedicated and adored members of our school community will be sorely missed.

Upper School science teacher Carrie Norrin visited Rwanda at the end of February as part of a biological expedition with the Dian Fossey Foundation, an organization dedicated to the protection of gorillas and other endangered species.

Getting Outside of the Classroom with Technology Upper School Tech Coordinator and history teacher Lauren Ledley recently shared that a number of our Princeton Day School faculty members are using videoconferencing software like Skype and Google Hangouts to connect with the outside world. In January, Upper School English teacher Reuben Loewy and history teacher Chris Rhodes partnered with the organization News Decoder to host a Google Hangouts webinar on media in the “post-truth” era. Members of Mr. Rhodes AP U.S. Government class shared proposals and fielded live questions from students at Greens Farms Academy (CT) and Indiana University. An additional 10 schools tuned into the broadcast.

US history teacher Maria Shepard’s AP Human Geography class had a Skype call with a member of the production team for Girl Rising, a documentary about female education in the developing world. The students learned about the process of making a documentary, female education, and ways to get involved.

US Scientist-in-Residence Lee Rosenberg, while convalescing from a fall in the winter, started teaching his Genes, Health, and Society class remotely via Skype and continued to do so during his recovery. With the help of the software, Dr. Rosenberg facilitated discussions, shared slides, and answered student questions.

Upper School Ceramics Project: Soul-Filled Bowls Upper School ceramics teacher Stephanie Steufer encouraged her Introductory and Advanced Ceramics students to participate in the Arts Council of Princeton’s Soul-Filled Bowls event on December 3. Each ceramics student made and donated at least one bowl to the event, which invited the public to purchase bowls for $20 and enjoy soup and bread donated by the Blawenburg Cafe. All proceeds benefited the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK) and Mercer Street Friends.

I smile when I remember all the smiles and cheery good mornings of the students and families who shone a very bright and happy light on my life in a very difficult time.

I am happily residing in Venice Florida.

Retirement suits me; I can enjoy a swim, a walk or a bike ride in the warm Florida sun. I have met a wonderful man and I am getting married July 7, 2017. We have a wedding website aliandlarry.com; have a look.

Steve Bailey with his wife Heather and daughter, Melissa ’00, having dinner with a Cuban family near Havana

Steve Bailey, former Upper School math teacher, wrote: “We continue to enjoy being retired in Montpelier, Vermont, doing a lot of hiking and other outdoor activities. This year we got season passes at Sugarbush ski area. We are still working in the Montpelier food pantry and teaching in the local adult ed center.

“We made our first visit to Cuba in December, where we visited families of Cuban friends who live in Montpelier. Our daughter, Melissa ’00, met us there for our final week. One of the highlights of the trip was scuba diving with her in the Bay of Pigs on Christmas Eve. We even saw the wreck of a US troop transport from the failed invasion of 1961. After our return to the US, we visited Doug McLane at the Saddle River Day School (where he is the Upper School Head) to tell his Spanish classes about our trip.

“Upcoming trips include hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and camping for two nights in March, and visiting John Baldwin and Kate Winton in Taipei in April. We also hope to see Tuan Phan in Vietnam while we are over there.”

Peter Buttenheim, former Middle School English teacher, wrote: “When one moves into his 70s, life really changes. For me, the changes have involved finishing my career at Sanford School in 2008 and then starting volunteer work with the Food Bank of Delaware, the AAUW Book Sale, and Lutheran Community Services (food/clothing/shelter).

“The changes also involve much more time to visit with children and grandchildren. Jennifer’s only child, Francesca, is a first-year student at Mount Holyoke College, where she is a political science and international relations major, as well as a member of the MHC Riding Team. She spent 2015-16 on an incredible Gap Year in East Africa, Rome, and New Hampshire (working for Hillary!).

“Alison’s two daughters, Claire and Julia, are in Grade 12 and Grade 9, respectively, at Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia where they keep busy with tough courses, sports, Mock Trial, and a Jane Austen Book Club — founded by them!

“When Frances and I are not here in Wilmington, we take trips to Philadelphia (often), Northampton (most holidays), The Oyster Festival on the Eastern Shore, summer days at Rye Beach, NH, and, most of all, our summers in Williamstown, MA, at our home there that has been dubbed ‘Camp Granny’ for years by those same grandchildren.

“I became a non-denominational minister two years ago when two former teaching colleagues asked me if I would preside at their weddings. It was a scary prospect at first for this secular humanist to ‘get with it’ and help create a home-grown service for each of the couples, but each turned out to be a marvelous experience. One service was in Bristol, RI, and the other was here in Wilmington. I hope someone asks me again!

“Since December 2016, I have taken a leave from all of the volunteer work in order to get a new left hip on February 8. I am in the midst of the post-op period right now with a lot of walking and exercising under the guidance of an amazing physical therapist. I plan to be 100% for Camp Granny 2017.”

Kay Cortelyou, former Upper School math teacher, reported that she is “having a wonderful time as a semi-retired teacher.

I now teach about three months a year so I have time to do what I want. I have done several horseback riding vacations. I spent a week riding in western Ireland and a week riding across both ridges of the Andes in Ecuador. I have already booked my summer riding vacation to Botswana. In between I still show my own horses and spend time in Houston, TX with my son and two granddaughters. Kip and I still live in McLean, VA. Visitors to DC are welcome to connect with us; we enjoy showing people the ‘sites’ and the ‘sights.’ I am currently reading a book of essays

by Marjorie Williams ’75, edited by her husband Timothy Noah. The book is titled The Woman at The Washington Zoo. One essay is about her mother, Beverly — ­ nice to read about her life outside of PDS. I taught Marjorie’s Kay Cortelyou riding across the two children, Will and Andes in Ecuador Alice, at Maret.”

Pat Cross, former Middle School history teacher, reported: “I’m still living in a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic adult community near Kingston, which offers many opportunities for activities ranging from tennis (which I’ve been playing for almost 70 years!), a book club, and swimming in the summer. I’m still in touch with many PDS colleagues, particularly ‘Mommy Carroll’, who now lives in Florida. We both taught Middle School at the same time and took many Mini Course Week trips together, most notably to Colonial Williamsburg. We always thought that we’d like to become docents at Williamsburg and thought we’d be pretty good at it! Unfortunately, that never happened.

Luckily, part of the dream came true as I am now a docent at Drumthwacket, the Governor’s Mansion in Princeton. I just love it! I continue to be an avid reader, belonging to three book clubs, which can, at times be very confusing! I follow politics closely; no comment at the moment! And still read the New York Times every day. I still visit ‘the Old Country’ once a year, visiting old friends and family. I find it impossible to believe that I retired 20 years ago!!!”

Laurie Curtis, former Lower School teacher, wrote: “It’s been a year full of ups and downs. I lost my sweet mom, Alice Ober, last February, age 88, followed by Hal’s dad, Harry L. Jr. in April, age 90. Both had wonderful long lives but it’s always tough to lose one’s parent. Hal began his quest to hike the Appalachian Trail in May. He has completed all but 750 miles (VA-GA), which he plans to finish this March & April. Along the way he met up with Chris Gibson ’10, who was just finishing up his AT hike. Later in the summer, Eliza ’08 got married to Richard Worsman at our house in Pennington. They met as freshman at Connecticut College. We adore Richard; he is full of energy, incredibly smart and kind. He teaches Mandarin Chinese at The Academy of the Pacific Rim, a charter school in Boston. Among her bridesmaids were two good buddies from PDS days, Jael Atchison Williams and Alexandra DavidsonPalmer. Jael married Marshall Williams in Austin, Texas in September. Sara Schwiebert, Nancy Miller MFS ’57, Jim and Sue Carty and Stuart and Susan Ferguson were all there to cheer Eliza and Richard on. Parker ’02 lives in Philadelphia and teaches American History and World Religion at Moorestown Friends School, Moorestown, NJ and Suzanna ’04 moved out to Berkeley CA, where she is pursuing her PhD in Special Education, with a concentration in Autism. I keep busy writing, doing ration drops for Hal, helping out in the afterschool program at Home Front, caring for our mini donkeys & various dogs, and generally keeping the home fires burning.

If you want to follow Hal’s journey, check out his blog: hlctakesahike.com.”

Ellen Fisher ’73, former Lower School teacher, wrote: “With so many lucky stars to thank in my life, my history and experiences with PDS in the last 50 years assuredly ranks as a brightest constellation in my universe. While I never fully imagined the breadth and depth and profound and everlasting impact of those formative years at PDS, there’s no doubt that all that was infused in me academically, socially, athletically, and emotionally became a springboard to and cornerstone of my life’s course/ journey, personally and professionally. The richness and significance of the PDS experience touched me and continues to reach well beyond the walls of the classroom and the Great Road campus.

“PDS’s TAP (teacher assistant program) catapulted me happily, after graduating from Middlebury, into a teaching career at the elementary level. I taught and coached for a few decades at a handful of schools throughout New England and circled back to PDS twice. It was a thrill to return to PDS and have the opportunity to work with former teachers and administrators and to know them then and through the years as colleagues and friends.

We love living in southern Maine now and I am enormously grateful for all that we have been able to experience and enjoy together; especially good health, after a serious bout with Lyme disease rocked our world.

here, we’ve begun to renovate and revitalize my grandparents’ old farm property. The original farm house, where we now reside, was built in the early 1840s, as far as what we’ve been able to find in the county records. We are doing as much as we can to run this in a sustainable, organic, permaculture method.

We grow a multitude of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and other produce, but our primary focus is pasture-raised poultry (more than six breeds of chicken, French Duclair Duck, Toulouse Geese, and four plus breeds of turkey). We also have started a small batch of beehives. You can visit us at the farm or on our Facebook page ‘Peaceful Meadows Farm.’

It was a great pleasure to attend the wedding of long-time PDS faculty member Mark Adams this past summer It was also a joy to connect with the Powers clan while up in the Cape the summer before last. They were gracious hosts to us while we were on a two-day 80-mile bike trek. We miss all of the PDS community and hope to visit this spring.”

Carol Koiro, former athletic trainer wrote: “After working for the past six and a half years as a physician assistant with two orthopaedic practices, as a surgical first assist in the clinic and caring for patients in the rehabilitative setting, I will be joining Lawnwood Medical Center in Fort Pierce, FL as part of their trauma team.

Very exciting opportunity for me and will give me the opportunity for a large amount of personal and professional growth.”

Lila Lohr h’00, former Head of School, reported: “Bobby and I are loving spending this year in San Francisco, where I’m the Interim Head of Town School, K-8, all boys. Next year we’ll be back in Maryland, where I’ll be the Interim Head of my alma mater, Garrison Forest School, outside Baltimore. I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to join so many terrific school communities. The first Interim Head I ever met was Archer Harmon, who was serving as the Interim Head of PDS the year before I arrived there. I remember scoffing when he told me he thought I’d love being an interim later in my career. He was correct.”.

Doug McLane, former Upper School Spanish teacher and Dean, and his wife Lisa Webster McLane, former Upper School science teacher, will be moving to Maryland this summer when Doug becomes the new Head of the Upper School at The Potomac School. Lisa wrote: “Our son, Garrett, will be entering first grade in the fall, and Kira is four and enjoying preschool. We all loved Potomac when we visited, and Doug and I both felt it had a lot in common with PDS, so we are all looking forward to it. We’d love to connect with any alums or past fac/staff in the D.C. area!”

Judy Michaels, former Upper School English teacher wrote that she continues to write poems, teach poetry for the Dodge Foundation, give workshops and present at conferences, and speak about ovarian cancer at medical schools in New York and Newark through the national program Survivors Teaching Students. She occasionally chaperones PDS theater trips and enjoys keeping up with the school plays and gallery shows.

Last summer, she was fortunate enough to take a week-long poetry workshop with Marie Howe on the west coast of Ireland, where she encountered a promising young poet about to room with PDS poet Sarah Matthes ’09 in graduate school in Austin. In October, she got to introduce Sarah Maloney Blake ’02’s reading at the Dodge Poetry Festival. A few days later, giving a reading from her latest chapbook, ‘Ghost Notes,’ at the Princeton Library; she was happy to see Liz Harman’93 and Katharine Powell Roman ’93 in the audience. Later in the fall, Judy gave a poetry reading in Portland, Oregon and was invited to a dinner and interview by the participants in a humanities seminar on illness and healing, who had been discussing her poetry book, Reviewing the Skull, in their course. She’ll go back to Portland this spring to give a couple more readings and speak at the medical school about cancer and writing. In the fall, she’ll present on poetry at the annual convention for English teachers, partnering with West Coast storyteller and poet Merna Hecht, who works with teenage refugees from all over the world.

In our off time, we are beginning the process of having our shore house raised. (We are going to go up about 5 feet to put our first floor at 12 feet above mean high tide.)”

Tom Pears, former Upper School math and computer teacher, wants to get the PDS teachers who taught computers over the years to put together a history of the teaching of computers at PDS. If interested in working on this project, you can reach Tom at tompears.com and tompears@hotmail.com.

He wrote: “I was at PDS for 10 years, 1969-1979. I taught math and computers. Went on to work in software at big companies like Lotus, IBM, and Intuit. I tried to go back to teaching but never found the great mix of students that we had at PDS. “My wife and I live along the coast of NH. I’m long retired but she still works in Boston. Our daughters are 30 and 27.

The older teaches at Claremont McKenna and the younger is a consultant with McKinsey.

“I still do a lot with computers, just playing with Word Press now. Most of my efforts are aimed at supporting historical societies. How can we best use technology to allow the audience to research using the materials they are interested in on their own?

“I ride a peddle bicycle for exercise. I can’t do it in NH in the winter and I hate using a stand in front of the TV. So, for the second year now, I travel to places where I can ride. January in Cancun, February in California and March in Portugal. I first road seriously with a group at PDS. It was an athletic option, and after school we rode off to Hopewell, etc. Someone taught me about shifting gears ahead of the hills and keeping the cadence high. I went back to running for the next 20 years but now am really into the bike.

“I am in town (Princeton) maybe once a year to visit friends.

Finally last year, I had the time to take a tour of PDS and a faculty member giving the prospective student tour allowed me to join in. PDS looked fabulous. If you have not been back recently, stop in. (Give them more than the one hour notice I did!). My PDS years were a magical time for me at a magical place with faculty and students. I hope you enjoyed your years half as much. I have unlimited proud stories about PDS.” John “Doc” Ross, former Upper School science teacher, stated that he was going to Florida to visit former Upper School math teacher, Harvey Lee. Mickey Shriver MFS ’46, former Director of College Counseling, reported: “This is a ‘lucky thirteen’ year for me. In February 2004, I moved into Stonebridge, and that same year a few of us started The Princeton Festival. Stonebridge and The Festival have grown and thrived, and I feel lucky still to be part of them.

“At Stonebridge, I often see Priscilla Grindle and Jean Jansen, as well as my Miss Fine’s classmates, Peter Erdman ’43 and Dave McAlpin ’43. Arlene Smith comes here once a month, for a meeting of the investment club she and I started 22 years ago, and once or twice a year to give her expert help with Festival mailings. On the sad occasion of the recent memorial service here for Alison Shehadi, it was a bittersweet pleasure to see so many old PDS faculty friends.

“The Festival fills the month of June with every performing art from opera, jazz and dance, to musicals, chamber music and film. We work on it from September through July, and even so it’s a challenge to get everything done. It’s wonderfully rewarding though when the curtains go up.

“Thanks to the Stellatos and the Alumni/Development Offices, I feel connected to the new, as well as the old PDS, and that seems a bit of luck, too.”

Peter Sears, former Upper School English teacher, wrote that he had finished his two-year appointment as Oregon Poet Laureate.

Dan h’73 and Tassie Skvir MFS ’62, former Russian teachers, (among many other things), find it “hard to believe retirement is at the seven year mark already, probably because we are busier than ever.

Our activities center on family, church and travel.

Our four grandchildren (in Stamford, CT and Brooklyn) are blessings, Dan and Tassie Skvir in Chekhov’s especially when we host them for extended periods summer garden, Yalta, Crimea in the summer at our LI dacha. My duties on the Princeton campus as Orthodox chaplain are another blessing, and now extend to responsibilities as head of our diocesan Liturgical Music Commission. Tassie is equally engaged as the chair of our national Church Archive Committee, and we enjoy assisting each other in our assignments. Our travels have been fairly extensive: Russia (surprise!), a Black Sea / Greece cruise, multiple trips to both Alaska and Arizona, and a cruise through the Panama Canal. (Harvey Lee saw us off from Fort Lauderdale!) Looking forward to celebrating our 50th anniversary in a few months, this time taking the whole family on an Alaskan cruise.

“Living in Princeton has a special bonus: meeting up with former students and colleagues in the immediate area... Just two days ago met with Magdalena Henke ’11 (PDS ASSIST exchange student from Germany) and ran into Julia Roginsky ’91 (and son) on the University campus, where we also frequently see Treby McLaughlin Williams ’80. Wes McCaughan lives right around the corner. Chance connections at McCaffrey’s (Yuki Moore Laurenti ’75, Bill Stoltzfus, Paul Epply-Schmidt, Jane Grigger) or other town establishments are always delightful, bringing back pleasant memories of PDS days. We encourage any and all former students to stay in touch and to drop by our home, as we love to hear about new accomplishments and adventures.”

Norm Sperling, former Upper School science teacher, reported: “Hello from Berkeley! I’m enjoying a very full life. Both of my children have now graduated college. Lumin wrangles ‘Big Data’ in Silicon Valley. Mason founded an Improv team and opened ‘Script Not Found,’ its YouTube channel. I still teach astronomy for the University of California every fall. If that was all I handled, life wouldn’t be so hectic. But I also want to restart the ‘Astroscan’-type of telescope that I co-designed. So I updated

Herb Spiegel, husband of former music teacher, Regina Spiegel, wrote that he “attended the Young Arts Festival in Miami. Got such a thrill seeing and meeting a PDS photographer, one of the winners in the photography competition, among very top-notch entrants. Michelle Leung ’18 was such a delight. We discussed her love for Eileen Hohmuth-Lemonick.”

Bill Stoltzfus, Upper School history and religion, sent a long letter of update. Below is an edited version: “Our daughter, Amelia, has completed most of her third year at Emory Medical School in Atlanta. She has devoted the last many months to rotations, which renewed her passion to pursue pathology. She reported ecstatically some weeks ago that her ‘away rotation’ will take her to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Manhattan, where she worked while pursuing an MA at NYU. “My wife Alison’s summer offered her an unprecedented challenge: late one evening returning from her monthly report to the Hopewell Borough Planning Board in her capacity as head of the Historic Advisory Commission, she tripped over a stake in the ground, fell, and broke her left elbow. The saga of recovery began… surgery and rehab. She has regained almost all of her mobility and is building arm strength. She is busier than ever at Mills Schnoering Architects. She has continued commuting to Philadelphia where, in addition to monitoring construction on the University of Pennsylvania’s Hill College House, she is also juggling several projects for the Department of Labor and the Social Security Administration. On the other end of the spectrum, she is working on the design for a modest addition to the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.

“Having ended my classroom teaching career this past June, I have been spending my 36th year at Princeton Day School going to school two to three times a week to work with our student council attempting to promote civic action via civic awareness, and studying ‘(community) service learning’ first-hand when off campus. Last fall, I facilitated a school-wide mock election complete with simulated Electoral College, the results of which markedly failed to correspond with the actual outcome. Nassau Presbyterian proved to be the gateway for me to experience adult ESL tutoring at Westminster Presbyterian in Trenton, to garner a second ESL opportunity working with the blind husband/father of a Syrian refugee family that Nassau is sponsoring, and to begin to learn about the staggering challenges that those who are or have been incarcerated face. Just what happens to me after this June remains unclear as I am technically ‘on sabbatical.’ On the other hand, while ‘it ain’t over til it’s over’ in the Schrodinger’s Cat universe in which you and I inhabit, should my time at PDS end in five months, I can assure you that no one can possibly be more grateful than I for the opportunity the school, my students,

and my colleagues, past and present, have afforded me over three and a half decades. I felt loved and look forward eagerly to the next page of Adonai’s plan.”

Carlton Tucker h’13, former Head of the Upper School, sent news: “I’m enjoying retirement and living by the Narragansett Bay in RI, but I am keeping busy. I’m still actively involved at UPenn’s Graduate Program in School Leadership, which a number of PDS faculty have done. I also volunteer in a number of different roles at Moses Brown School in Providence. Last year, I enjoyed being a part of PDS’s 50th anniversary celebrations.”

As soon as I finish that, I’ll resume editing science humor, RVing the US and Canada, and collecting rock specimens from every geological epoch.”

Bunny Webb, former librarian, updated her news: “I live in an independent apartment in a Buffalo CCRC. Good place.

My husband died in 2011. Our daughter and her family live in Hamilton, Ontario, hence the move to Buffalo. I remain a librarian here along with nine others. Together we run a very nice library. My oldest grandson is a materials engineering junior at the University of Toronto. The youngest is a freshman and is still looking for a life direction.”

Judy Williams, former Lower School teacher, and her husband Charlie “continue to enjoy living in Bridgehampton where we play tennis and golf as much as possible and head for the beach every sunny day in June and July. We always travel in August and last summer we went to Denmark (wonderful!) and also took a Baltic Sea cruise to Oslo, Stockholm and St Petersburg (amazing!). This winter we are going to Italy, Switzerland and Kenya.

We are going to Kenya to meet our daughter, Christina ’94, who will have just finished six weeks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo with Doctors Without Borders. In Kenya, we will take a seven-day safari; we will try not to get eaten by a lion! We see our daughter, Austin ’97, and her family as often as we can. She and her husband live in Denver and have two fabulous children —Stella, who is almost five, and JJ, who is Judy and Charlie Williams approaching three. I love being a in Denmark granny!”

Kate Winton, former Upper School English teacher, and John Baldwin, former Upper School math teacher, wrote that their “overseas adventures continue apace with a fabulous trip to Burma over Christmas, the Philippines for diving over Chinese New Year’s, Vietnam — with Kelsey ’10!—over spring break, and wending our back to the states via the silk road come June. In the meantime, Steve Bailey and his wife Heather will be visiting us this spring to get a taste of life in Asia — it will be great to see them! We’ll be returning to Seattle this summer, and John will be the head of the math department at The Northwest School, where we taught before we came to Taipei two years ago. I’m not yet sure where I’ll land. In any John Baldwin and Kate case, it will be great to be back Winton in Burma in the same city as my father and Erin ’08!”

LETTER FROM THE

Chair of the Board of Trustees

This spring marks an inflection point for me as my 5-year tenure as Board Chair comes to a close and our youngest son, George, graduates. I have been driving the Great Road to drop a child off at school, or meet with a faculty member or administrator since the fall of 1995 when our eldest son, James ’08, enrolled in Kindergarten followed by Zeeza ’13 and George ’17. Next fall will be the first time in 22 years that I will not be taking a right turn off the Great Road onto campus on a daily basis!

Like our seniors who are both looking forward with enormous anticipation to their future plans beyond our campus, and looking back with nostalgia to the defining experiences they had and friendships forged at Princeton Day School, I too have mixed emotions about completing my tenure. I have been reflecting on my involvement with PDS and what I have learned from my experiences here as an alumna and parent, and through the work of the board over the past 17 years. I am uplifted by the enduring strength of the institution and have been thinking a great deal about what makes PDS distinctive, and why I feel so very privileged to have served in the capacity that I have.

At the heart of PDS is the special dynamic between our inspired students and their families and our highly dedicated faculty, administration, and staff. I believe that PDS embodies the best in a community PreK-12 independent day school. The school has an ethos of nurturing our students by encouraging their exploration in both academics and extracurriculars, and fueling their passions and talents. Our faculty knows their students because they are fully committed to developing the whole child; to unlocking the keys to their particular learning style, talent, and personality. Our faculty is supported by an administration that fosters the same growth curve in our adults, and our board in turn seeks to provide a sustainable environment for the growth, strength, and stability of our school as a whole. I have seen a school that is committed to building on these strengths through a rigorous self-evaluation process where we have not been afraid to ask tough questions about how we can provide a better educational experience for our students, and offer impactful professional development for our faculty and staff.

We know that the world around us is changing at an ever-faster rate; that the world our children will enter when they leave us and the skills that they will need may not be known to us today. We do know, however, that the ability to excel in a rigorous academic institution, to think creatively and critically, to act responsibly, to care deeply, and to know how to work hard is critically important. We know teaching and supporting the inner child by understanding our students as unique human beings, and giving them the tools to go forth with confidence and commitment is critically important. We know that providing opportunities for the development of deep and abiding bonds with faculty mentors is critically important. And finally, we know that creating an environment where different perspectives are respected and can be discussed openly is critically important. These themes lace through every facet of the PDS I have grown to love, whether in the classroom, stage, playing field, or boardroom.

We look ahead to profound curricular changes with the implementation of a new STEAM initiative, interdisciplinary courses and reimagined facilities, continued robust admissions, increased financial aid funding, new performing arts spaces and an athletic facility. PDS is flourishing by every measure. When I look back on the last 5 years of my work as board chair, I can say unequivocally that the school’s enviable position of strength has been carefully crafted by Paul Stellato with enthusiastic support from the board. His vision for the school, abiding commitment to our students and faculty, and strong working relationship with the Board of Trustees and me has brought us to this remarkable point in the school’s history.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the amazing and remarkable people with whom I have been so fortunate to serve: the members of the Board of Trustees, the administrative team, and the faculty; all of whom endeavor to make the school a better place for our children every day and into the future. I have been enriched by my experience, humbled by the extraordinary individuals I have come in contact with, and inspired and motivated by our students and the outstanding faculty who never stop striving.

The school is fortunate to have an enormously talented incomingBoard Chair in Rebecca Bushnell ’70, whose experience as a respected dean and formidable leader at the University of Pennsylvania will help to ably guide the school going forward. I could not be more optimistic about the school’s future. And so, while I will no longer find myself circling off the Great Road as often as I once did, I know that my heart will always be with PDS.

Celebrating the Legacy

of Barbara Griffin Cole ’78 at Princeton Day School

Barbie Griffin Cole

At the end of June, Barbara Griffin Cole ’78 will step down from the Princeton Day School Board of Trustees after five pivotal years as Board Chair, and a total of 17 years on the Board of Trustees. Here are some reflections from her fellow trustees on her tremendous leadership and deep integrity.

Paul J. Stellato, Head of School:

“Thinking of my friend Barbie Cole; and trying hard to come to terms with her imminent departure from the board and her unfathomable absence from my side, I’ve been thinking about a variation on a line uttered some years ago by a Secretary of Defense. It goes something like this: you don’t get to fight the battle you want; you get to fight the battle you have. You would do well to ask what this has to do with board leadership, Barbie Cole, and the head of school. I’ve begun to look at it this way, through these questions: What happens when the person you most need by your side turns out to be the very person standing there? And what happens when the board-head relationship (which school governance mavens assert is among the most important relationships in a school community) turns out to be a warm, deep, enduring friendship? My friend, Barbie Cole, would quickly reply that the happy answers to these questions — and any others our school might ask — rise in our students’ ecstatic voices and their strong, sure beating hearts.

In our time together, I’ve had the pleasure of watching Barbie inspire the best from everyone with whom she has worked. Caring, compassionate, and considerate, she has proved as deft with a Lower Schooler selling calendars as with a prospective trustee in need of just a bit more coaxing. By the close of her tenure, she will have authored a wildly successful capital campaign and written the first few glorious chapters of another; overseen our school’s first landscape and campus master plans; built a board of trustees for the ages; ensured our school’s financial health during a period of financial peril; championed our school against all rivals and pretenders; celebrated our school through her soaring rhetoric and soft entreaties; and comforted our school in times of loss and grief. She has been a chair for all seasons, an ambassador for all occasions, a sage who has wrapped her great wisdom in the bright cloaks of compassion, service, and commitment.

For Barbie Griffin Cole, these years— all 17 of them as a member of the board— have also been a family affair. She arrived as a bright-eyed Lower Schooler and proud member of the class of 1978; JOURNAL

29

she returned as a young mother with her own Lower Schooler: James ’08, who was followed closely by Zeeza ’13 and George ’17. Her sense of the place grew and matured as did her children, for through their experience she came to understand and appreciate the heart of the school: its children and their teachers.

Robust and busy as her family was, Barbie found time and room to welcome Maureen, our girls, and me into its fellowship. We are better for it. To her husband, Chris Cole, I have turned often for guidance and support; he has given me hope, courage, and lots of practical advice. Princeton Day School has no greater ally than Barbie’s mother, Barbara Griffin, whose sturdy advocacy and clear-headed counsel have benefitted me and each of my predecessors. Barbie’s late father, Jim Griffin, was quick to remind me of the confidence he had in our school and its leader.

Each in his or her own way has helped fashion our school’s greatness, although all would quickly and surely concede that their most important role has been in support of this finest of community leaders and members, Barbie Cole.

Barbie Cole and I did not know one another well when she agreed to serve as board chair. As our school and our country began to shake off the ill effects of the recession, it was Barbie Cole’s clarion-clear voice rising first, urging us all to shake off our doubts and begin to dream and plan for what was next. It was Barbie Cole who took flight and soared and, in doing so, beckoned our school to join her. An invitation from Barbie Cole is too good to pass up. By any measure, our school’s last five or so years will rank among the most prosperous and productive in its history. I need not mention that that period coincides with her tenure as board chair.

And what of this head of school and his board chair?

Frankly, I’ve been in a state of denial for some time about Barbie Cole’s leaving my side. If it’s all the same to you, I’d prefer not to think about it, for I know that time will come when I must. Though she and I will no longer meet every other Friday morning from 9:00 to 10:00 in my office; though I will no longer call her once, twice, or 12 times each week; and while the work of the board and its committees will no longer be informed by her intuition, discipline, and care, I remain very hopeful. The school Barbie Cole shaped shares much in common with all the things she loves: her family, her home and gardens, her friendships. It is sturdy and durable. It is firmly rooted in the right things. It knows no limits. From Barbie Cole, I have learned the lessons of a lifetime, and perhaps the only way for me to repay the great debt I owe her is to ensure that those lessons— of expectation, excellence, empathy, enthusiasm— remain lively and present

in every endeavor I consider, every decision I make, and every relationship into which I enter. I make that promise here and now.

An old management adage goes something like this: Always leave the place better than you found it.

Having gotten over that hurdle pretty easily, Barbie Cole will be remembered for something more: seeing in our school and all of us our best selves, even when we could not; and urging us to realize the many, many things of which she knew we were capable.

As fully as anyone I have known or with whom I have worked, Barbie Cole has also understood this simple truth: to be among, to work among, to be in service to school children is the greatest privilege of them all.”

At Commencement

At Convocation

Marc C. Brahaney, Trustee: “I have had the distinct and tremendous pleasure of working with Barbie on a wide range of PDS campus projects. I am always impressed with her unfailing ability to take in the big picture, think through issues strategically, and then identify and drill into the details that matter. At every level, she zeroes in on and asks the critical questions. The breadth of her talents combined with her dedication to PDS mean that Barbie’s influence on the school is seen and felt everywhere. Generations of children yet to attend PDS will be the beneficiaries of her excellent work.

Her leadership of the board and her collaboration with Paul, and with all of us, have been inspired and inspiring. It is indeed my good fortune to count Barbie as a colleague and a dear friend.”

Rebecca W. Bushnell ’70, Rising Chair of the Board of Trustees: “As an alumna, a parent, a volunteer, and a leader, Barbie Cole exemplifies the very best of the PDS community. We value talent, common sense, compassion, a strong work ethic, and a unwavering commitment to service, and she has it all. Through the countless hours she has spent

serving the school and her wise leadership, she has been key both to making PDS the vibrant school that it is today, and to steering the path toward an even more stellar future.”

Thomas B. Harvey, Vice Chair: “The anchor to everything is Barbie’s deep commitment to Princeton Day School. She has seen all aspects of the school— as a student, as a parent, as a trustee—so what she brings is a true familiarity. Barbie is erudite and incredibly inquisitive and, as such, has a great depth of knowledge about many things.

She brings an open-mindedness to everything, and is constantly looking for ways to do things better. Barbie genuinely wants to know what people think, including her fellow trustees. She has had an incredible impact on this school.”

Eleanor V. Horne, Trustee: “Over the years, I have worked with some truly outstanding trustees at PDS and elsewhere. Barbie Cole is among the very best, and, in fact, models many attributes of exceptional trustees and board chairs. She works tirelessly on behalf of PDS because she loves the school and wants to preserve its best features for future generations of students, while simultaneously seeking ways to make it even better and more responsive to the changing needs and expectations of students and parents. She leads by example; has forged a strong bond with the school’s leadership; and has strengthened the sense of shared community among trustees, parents, alumni, faculty and staff.”

Edward E. Matthews, Trustee Emeritus: “I worked closely with Barbie in her leadership of the last capital campaign that ended in 2008. Barbie was the consummate leader, making the tough decisions at the right time and encouraging all of us when progress seemed slow at times. Her intelligence and naturally cheerful disposition were an inspiration to us all.”

Andrew M. Okun, Trustee Emeritus: “I have come to know Barbie through working on the board together for 16 years and I cherish the strong friendship we have developed over this time. Barbie has an obvious superior intellect, but what is most remarkable about her is how kind, trustworthy, grounded, and dedicated she is. Barbie is extremely familyoriented and it shows not only in the strong bonds she has with her extended family, but also in the three wonderful children Barbie and Chris have raised. The greatest pleasure of being Barbie’s friend is to enjoy one of her home-cooked meals (she is an outstanding cook!) in her home with her family. The Cole and Griffin families are a PDS treasure, and Barbie exemplifies everything that is wonderful about these remarkable families.

Barbie brings all of her positive energy, intelligence, and passion to the board and allows an openness and clarity of thought that JOURNAL

serves the school so very well. She is optimistic yet thoroughly balanced as a person and leader, and those qualities give great strength to the board. PDS would not be where it is today without the energies and talents that Barbie has given to the school. We all owe her a deep debt of gratitude.”

Lisa R. Stockman, Secretary/Parliamentarian: “Barbie’s world-class gardens serve as a fitting metaphor for her life. They are extensive, complex, teeming with unusual and rare varieties, meticulously planned and maintained, all while conveying a relaxed exuberance. Their geometry is perfection, laid out with a mathematician’s precision. Their balance and harmony of colors, textures, and plant materials are a feast for the eyes. The love and joy so evident in Barbie’s gardens are evident in all she does, especially at PDS. She has enriched PDS immeasurably, as she has enriched the lives of those around her. She is a remarkable person and I treasure my association with her.”

John D. Wallace ’48, Trustee Emeritus: “I’ve known Barbie for her entire life, as my parents were best friends with her grandparents, and I was close with her father.

In fact, our families have been connected through the years in many ways. But I was truly able to reconnect with Barbie when we served together on the board. I learned that Barbie is incredibly inclusive, and adept at reaching out to people with expertise in many different fields. She has a real love for PDS that comes through in her engagement with everyone at the school, including teachers and staff, and in the incredible amount of time she devotes to the school. I don’t think she has ever missed so much as a meeting at PDS. Barbie is compassionate about people and mindful of their time and commitment—she is very respectful to everyone, including her fellow trustees. I’ve seen her commitment to the school grow over the course of her years on the board and, particularly, through her strong partnership with Paul Stellato to guide our school. She has been a remarkable board chair and is a great friend.”

John C. Wellemeyer ’52, Trustee: “Barbie Cole has guided the board in the transition of the upcoming capital campaign from a focus on athletics and financial aid to a more broadly-based one to include the school’s new STEAM program and the requisite renovation of classroom facilities. She and Paul Stellato have achieved this with the enthusiastic, full support of the board.

As chairman of the investment committee responsible for the school’s endowment, I have enjoyed working with Barbie. She is a quiet leader who encourages the Board’s committee chairs to achieve their goals. She has attended all of the investment committee meetings, and has asked very important questions.

After 17 years on the PDS Board of Trustees, she has more than earned her ‘retirement.’ Given all that the board has been dealing with over the past several years, her role as Chair has been what most people would consider a full-time job. I am hopeful that she will continue to be very actively involved in the upcoming capital campaign.”

C. Treby McLaughlin Williams ’80, Former Chair of the Board of Trustees: “Barbie leads ambitiously, with clear vision and purpose. She possesses intimate understanding of the soul of the school and a deep belief in PDS’ aspirations. Her partnership with Paul Stellato, leadership of the board for At the 50th Anniversary Celebration the last five years, and her at Jasna Polana extraordinary contributions as a board member for 17 years leave a profound legacy that will impact generations of PDS students. She has been magnificent to and for PDS!”

Rebecca Bushnell ’70 to Chair the Board of Trustees Princeton Day School is proud to announce that Dr. Rebecca W. Bushnell ’70 will succeed Barbie Griffin Cole’78 as Chair of the Board of Trustees beginning July 1, 2017.

SPOTLIGHT ON SERVICE

Becoming Citizens of the World Princeton Day School Students Dive into Community Service

By Kathryn Rosko From left, sitting, Ziad Ahmed, Rahul Bhatia, Hallie Hoffman, and Maggie Madani. Top row, from left, Manas Sood, Amanda Ostendorf, and Giulia Gerschel

What does it mean to be a citizen of the world?

The Princeton Day School mission statement reads: “In academics, athletics, the arts, and service, we celebrate the pursuit of individual excellence and the spirit of collaboration that binds us together as a community…. Our students leave Princeton Day School well equipped for college and beyond: prepared to act knowledgeably, to lead thoughtfully, to share generously, and to contribute meaningfully.”

In service; to share generously; to contribute meaningfully…

These are tenets of the Princeton Day School education and experience. Though PDS maintains a rigorous academic program and offers a multitude of extra-curricular offerings, there is an undeniable focus on service learning. PDS encourages students to see the world outside of themselves and their own experiences.

Princeton Day School organizes several school-wide community service projects each year, including the Wrap-In, a gift drive to benefit the One Simple Wish Foundation; the Thanksgiving basket drive to benefit the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen; the Great Give-Away, a school supply drive to benefit HomeFront; and the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service in January, where all students participate in activities that benefit others in the community, and focus on the legacy of Dr. King. These projects develop in PDS students both the awareness and the need to give back to the greater community, beginning in PreK. Upper School students are required to complete 50 hours of community service, on or off campus, and the hours are recorded throughout the students’ Upper School careers.

There are some students who become truly inspired by giving back to the community, going above and beyond, and donating their time and talents; taking on fundraising projects; joining a cause to raise awareness; and taking a stand, promoting advocacy and social justice.

I reached out to a handful of our students who have racked up significant numbers of community service hours to find out about their projects and causes: why they chose them, and how their experiences have impacted the course of their lives and their dreams for the future.

Ziad Ahmed ’17 According to school records, Ziad Ahmed has accumulated close to 600 hours of community service. Some of the organiza-

tions he has contributed his time and energies to include: the Teen Advisory Board of the Princeton Public Library; the Teens for TASK (Trenton Area Soup Kitchen) Board; the GAIA (Growing Up Accepted as an Individual in America) Leadership Team at Corner House; interning with Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman; the Executive Board of Princeton’s “Not In Our Town;” working with the Jewish/Muslim group, 11 Points; participating in community service trips to Costa Rica, Morocco, and India; and peer tutoring at the PDS SiMS (Success in Science and Math) Center in the Upper School.

“I haven’t actually clocked my community service hours since the end of sophomore year,” said Ziad when we spoke. In addition to this work, Ziad founded and runs Redefy, an organization with the goal of “boldly defying stereotypes, embracing acceptance and tolerance, redefining perspectives positively, and creating an active community” (taken from the mission statement at redefy.org). He founded Redefy when he was 14, and several of his PDS classmates are on his team, including Nick Jain’17.

Ziad also interned at the U.S. Department of State with Under Secretary of Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Rick Stengel last summer, and dined with President Barack Obama at the White House Iftar dinner two years ago. Just last year, Ziad won the prestigious Princeton Prize in Race Relations in recognition of his advocacy work.

Ziad notes that he is fortunate to be a product of his circumstances, and that he is able to take on so much because of the invaluable support of his family. A trip to Bangladesh when he was in second grade was a catalyst to his community service work, as it allowed him to observe firsthand the gravity and depth of issues faced by people around the world. “It was never a question of am I going to make a difference, but how,” remembered Ziad.

What does the future hold? Ziad shared that his current plan for college (he was recently accepted at Yale University) is to study global affairs and cognitive science, and then make his way to law school, in order to “understand and protect those victims that suffer from hatred of any kind.”

Long term, he wants to stay connected to social justice and community service work. “I’ll never have done enough,” he said, “I know I will have a lifelong commitment to justice, politics, government, and philanthropy.”

Amanda Ostendorf ’17

Nick Jain ’17

Amanda Ostendorf has been volunteering once or twice a week at Woodlands Wildlife Refuge in Pittstown, New Jersey since she came to PDS as a sophomore. She told me, “I have accumulated about 500 hours here in the past two years, not including the 1.5 hours round trip travel time.” The Woodlands Refuge rescues and rehabilitates orphaned and injured wildlife, most commonly, raccoons, squirrels, turtles, rabbits, opossums, foxes, and bears. Amanda recalled, “Recently we have had a few snakes, beavers, an otter, a bobcat, and a coyote.” She continued, “This past year, we had a record number of animals pass through our doors: 1182 in total.” She works with other staff and volunteers to hand-feed baby animals formula four times a day, changing their diet as they grow and keeping them in the refuge until they are able to be released back into the wild.

“I was amazed when I came across Woodlands, because being able to work hands-on with wild animals was so much better than I could have ever imagined,” Amanda recalled. Now two years later, she has learned an incredible amount regarding working with animals as well as working, in general.

Regarding the high number of hours she has accumulated, she states simply that she has volunteered so much because she loves what she does. “Originally, 50 hours seemed like a lot to me but after I had been at Woodlands for a few weeks it seemed like nothing.” In addition to the valuable experience of deepening her understanding of animal rehabilitation, Amanda has also made some great friends through her work at Woodlands, and has gained authentic leadership experience.

She said, “I quickly became the highest level member of my shift, meaning that questions and issues would be addressed to me first. This has been just as beneficial to me as my experiences with animals.”

It seems clear that this community service work has informed Amanda’s future plans, as she plans to study animal behavior or zoology in college in order to continue to work with animals for the rest of her life.

Nick Jain works closely with Ziad Ahmed ’17 at Redefy and is the senior Vice President of campaigns and event planning.

“As a part of that, I plan global campaigns to combat issues such as racism, and events such as #TheGenerationOfNow,” said Nick. He has spent more than 150 hours on his work for Redefy over the past 3 years.

In addition, Nick founded a program in Trenton to help teach kids how to play chess, and has taken service trips to Morocco and Cambodia, where he taught English and helped build much-needed structures, including a community center. Nick also volunteers for the Teen Advisory Group at Corner House and is a SiMS Center Mentor, where he helps other PDS students with math and science during free periods. He has spent hundreds of hours on these community service projects, as well.

“Community service work has become a huge aspect of my identity because the act of helping people fuels so many of my passions,” said Nick. He remembers that it clicked for him two years ago for him when he was on the service trip in Morocco, working in a small village in the poorest region of the nation, and came to realize how happy everyone seemed. He realized that he does community service to share the privilege that he is fortunate enough to have with people who have not had the same opportunities; but also because it helps him attain a sense of perspective about what truly constitutes happiness: love.

“When I give a workshop for Redefy, I love hearing the children talk about identity for the first time in their lives; I love watching them work through these complicated issues that nobody has discussed with them before,” he said. He feels similar when he is teaching children to play chess in Trenton, and when he is working overseas in small villages. Nick concluded, “So much of the way I see the world is grounded in the idea that we are part of something greater, that all people are interconnected, and that one must consider the hardships of others in order to have the perspective necessary to truly create change.”

Asianna Hall ’17 Asianna Hall volunteers with Loaves and Fishes in Trenton, setting the tables and serving food and drinks to the homeless and to people in need. She has done this work every other weekend for a year. In addition, she works as a youth police explorer with The City of Burlington Police Department. “Over the summer, we paint house numbers on the aprons of driveways to help the police officers who work night shifts,” said Asianna. She also works with the group to clean parks and volunteer at local fairs with a focus on public safety.

Asianna has also spent time volunteering at her grandmother’s school in Baltimore. “Since freshman year, I’ve spent about 440 hours doing community service,” recalled Asianna.

Asianna admits that at the beginning of her Upper School career, she took on the community service work because it was a requirement and she wanted to “get it out of the way.” But, she recalled, “As I began doing the work, I realized how much I truly enjoy helping others.”

“I’ve gone so far above the 50-hour community service requirement because I’m doing something I enjoy, and because I enjoy making others happy,” said Asianna.” She realizes that doing what could be perceived as “small things” truly can lead to significant change. “I hope that some of the things that I’ve done or said has stuck with the people I’ve met, and made their day a little better.”

Asianna has involved herself with a number of different organizations because she tries not to focus on just one thing. She said, “I like to get my feet wet in a few different organizations and activities.”

After leaving PDS, Asianna plans on continuing her community service but at an international level. “As of right now I am unsure as to where exactly I want to go, but I’m hoping to be able to go to some third world countries to help with medical care and building schools.”

Rahul Bhatia ’18 Rahul has spent the past five years teaching young children how to read, write, and speak Hindi through an organization called Hindi USA. “I went through the program myself and wanted to give back to the community so I became a volunteer teacher,” said Rahul. Run completely by volunteers, Hindi USA (located in West Windsor Plainsboro), aims to teach students to speak, read, and write Hindi in a fun learning environment. The organization also encourages participation in cultural programs, competitions, and oral and written exams where the students get the chance to showcase what they have learned.

In addition, Rahul has spent time volunteering at Capital Health Medical Center in Pennington. “I’ve always loved biology and wanted more exposure to the medical field,” he said. He started at the front desk, admitting new patients and flexing his customer service muscles.

“It is important to be a friendly, calming presence,” he said. Then, he was able to focus on doing research work in the sleep lab at the hospital. “I was studying individuals who were suffering from sleeprelated issues such as apnea.” He learned through graphing real data just how crucial sleep is. Rahul has also served as a student tour guide at PDS, showing new families around the campus and talking about the programs and opportunities that are available, an invaluable part of the admission process. His community service hours are close to 275 according to school records.

In looking back at his community service work, Rahul said, “My intention was to give back with my work with Hindi USA and Capital Health, but it actually gave me so much.” He continued, “Hindi USA was great for my own learning; it taught me patience, and how to be a disciplinarian. And, I was able to learn important scientific information, and how to be disarming and open in my experiences as a greeter SPRING 2017

at the front desk at Capital Health.” His time at Capital Health may have set him on our future course: “I really believe that medicine is an option for me in my future.”

Manas Sood ’18 Manas Sood has volunteered at Meadowlakes Senior Living, assisting the elderly and with day-to-day operations; at Hickory Corner Public Library, managing the summer programs desk; and at PDS, in the Teacher Assistance Program (TAP), working with PreK students during their class and outdoor time. He has also been a student/volunteer member of the Recreation Commission of the East Windsor Municipal Department, assisting at township events; a member of Teen Advisory Group (TAG), at Princeton Corner House, helping conduct workshops at nearby elementary/middle schools ; and Founder and President of the Free the Children (nonprofit) club at PDS, conducting two successful Rafiki chain fundraisers. According to school records, Manas has accumulated more than 100 hours on these projects, but one can only guess, given the list above, that not all his hours have been tracked.

The Free the Children club, in particular, has been a passion for Manas, who first became involved in the 6th grade, and started the club at PDS in the 10th grade. Free the Children is a worldwide development charity and youth empowerment movement, and Manas shared that when he started the club at PDS, “It was an immediate success, as we gathered over 100 signups at the club fair our first year.” The Rafiki Chain fundraiser primarily benefits the mothers in Kenya who make the chains, but the rest of the money raised is allocated toward an initiative the club chooses to support. “We decided to choose the clean water initiative in Kenya our first year, and this year we are supporting health in Tanzania,” Manas said. The club has raised more than $3000 to date.

Manas shared, “The main reason I do this community service work is because it gives me a chance to give back to the community and, above all, the opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives.”

In addition, the extensive community service work has given Manas a strong sense of purpose and self-confidence, and the opportunity to step out of his comfort zone and encounter new experiences.

Hallie Hoffman ’18 The main organization that Hallie Hoffman works with is the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome (NJCTS). Tourette Syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes uncontrollable movements and sounds called tics, something Hallie has had since she was six years old. She said, “I became a Youth Advocate with the NJCTS in middle school because I wanted to increase awareness for this disorder in order to prevent bullying, something I experienced when I was younger.” As a Youth Advocate, she gives presentations in schools to students and teachers in order to promote acceptance through education, and is also trained to talk with doctors about what it is like living with Tourette Syndrome.

More recently, Hallie has been involved in legislative advocacy to bring awareness and services to people with TS in the state. “Last June, I spoke in a press conference at the State House to introduce a bill for a state-wide Tourette Syndrome Awareness Day,” said Hallie.

In addition, she has volunteered as a Youth Co-Chair for the 2017 NJ Walks for TS, a 5K fundraiser and awareness walk in April.

Hallie admits that she does not know exactly how many hours she has spent volunteering with the NJCTS, but one can only assume it goes far beyond the required 50 hours. Hallie shared, “Service has never been about hours for me; one of the reasons that I have not logged most of my hours with the NJCTS is that I do not feel comfortable counting hours from volunteer experiences because I end up gaining so much from the experience myself.”

Hallie said, “As much as having Tourette Syndrome makes my life more difficult sometimes, it has also made me a more empathetic JOURNAL

and resilient person, and the NJCTS has helped me develop the invaluable leadership and advocacy skills to go along with this.”

Hallie said of the future, “My work with this organization has awakened my passion for public speaking and advocacy, and I know that I want to continue to do this kind of work throughout my life.”

Giulia Gerschel ’19 Giulia Gerschel has spent most of her community service hours (around 285 according to school records) here on the PDS campus as a counselor on the school’s High Ropes program. She has worked closely with Coach Jill Thomas on the course, quite literally learning the ropes, and being able to impart that knowledge to kids at PDS and during Summer Programs at Princeton Day School. In addition, Giulia is an avid tennis player and swimmer, and has spent many hours volunteering to teach kids how to play tennis and swim. “One of my most rewarding experiences was teaching a young girl with Down Syndrome how to swim,” said Giulia. “She was just such a great kid.”

Giulia has also spent time volunteering at her Hebrew School, teaching young children. “One time, I did a community service trip to Philadelphia, packing food and delivering it to people in an assisted living facility and it was really rewarding,” she remembered. “Group projects are probably the most effective, because you are working with others and can have a greater impact.”

Looking ahead, Giulia thinks her passion for tennis, a lifelong sport, will be a constant in her life. “I’d love to coach tennis. I love tennis and teaching, and I think sticking with something for your whole life—a passion—is so important.” She also remembers sage advice from Coach Thomas. “She reminded me that kids at PDS have big opportunities; opportunities that others may not have.” She continued, “It’s a life lesson to realize that you have to do the best you can, and give back.”

Maggie Madani ’20 Like Giulia Gerschel ’19, Maggie Madani has spent many of her 120 community service hours aiding our school’s High Ropes program. In addition, she is an admission tour guide, and participates in the TAP Program in the Lower School at PDS. Outside of school, Maggie has taken part in church-related mission trips, including one this past summer to Baltimore, where she learned about “food justice” and the problem of food deserts in the poorest parts of cities.

Maggie has, on the whole, chosen community service projects that align with her passions. “I have always loved adventure and pushing myself outside my comfort zone, so I choose to do high ropes to encourage others to not to be afraid.” The community service projects are also helping her develop leadership skills. Maggie shared, “To me, being a leader is someone who can push others to achieve great things while also being the best role model and listener I can be.” Working with the students through the TAP program has given Maggie the opportunity to get to know the younger students at PDS, as well as the opportunity to put her leadership skills to good use.

Maggie believes that her community service represents the kind of person she wants to be: a team player, role model, motivator, and someone who cares. “My goal was never to surpass the community service requirement; it was just a way for me to give back and to know my community a little bit better.”

GREETINGS FROM THE

2016/2017 Alumni Board

Chris Gerry ’99 President

Alumni Board Greetings from Your Alma Mater, This has been an incredible year for Princeton Day School and we, as alumni, have much to celebrate.

Our school is strong with many initiatives on the horizon that will keep us on the cutting edge of education while preserving the traditions that have helped shape our school since its founding.

Much of this success can be attributed to the leadership of Barbie Griffin Cole ’78, who is retiring from the Board of Trustees following 17 years of exemplary service, five of those as its chair. On behalf of the entire alumni community, I would like to recognize her for her commitment to the school and thank her for her contributions. We are sad to see her time end but know our school is in good hands with fellow alum Rebecca Bushnell ’70 assuming the role of board chair.

We are also strengthened by our alumni donors to the Annual Fund. Your support ensures that students today can enjoy the same (if not a better) education that we were fortunate to experience. It’s our turn to support the school, just as alumni who came before us supported the school while we were students.

We have a special opportunity to increase the impact of our support again this year thanks to Curtis McGraw Webster ’75. Curtis is once again challenging fellow alumni to support PDS with a challenge to our community to secure 75 leadership gifts to this year’s Annual Fund. When we reach this goal, Curtis will donate $50,000 to the PDS Annual Fund. Leadership gifts are tiered based on graduation year: $2,500 for graduates of 1996 and earlier, $1,000 for graduates of 1997-2001 and $500 for graduates of 2002 or later.

I hope you’ll consider supporting this challenge if you find yourself in a position to do so.

Kaylie Keesling Director of Alumni Giving Amy M. Gallo ’03 Director of Alumni Engagement Linda Maxwell Stefanelli ’62 Associate Director of Alumni Relations

We look forward to building on the success of last year and setting new records this year as our school embarks on a new chapter. If you’re interested in supporting this year’s leadership challenge, please contact Kaylie Keesling at kkeesling@pds.org or 609-924-6700 ext. 1265.

I hope to see many of you at Alumni Weekend on May 19 & 20 to reconnect with old friends and faculty members, and see how campus has changed since our last visits.

Robert S. Mueller III pcd ’59 An Investigator with a Global Reach

initiative and unwavering devotion to duty” in a firefight in Quang Tri province. He also received the Purple Heart, two Navy Commendation Medals, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.

“Having lived for a year in Vietnam, and survived, meant that everything else was downhill after that,” he says. “You learn how to operate under pressure; you just don’t worry that much. If you spend a year in the jungle, you get used to that kind of situation and it’s not that alien to you when the unexpected happens.”

If Bob Mueller had liked organic chemistry better, his life, and the direction of the nation’s top law enforcement agency, would have been very different. He grew up wanting to be a doctor but during his senior year at Princeton University, the advanced math and science requirements caused him to reconsider. As a result, he went into law and became the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s longest-serving and most influential director since J. Edgar Hoover. He took office in September 2001, just a week before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Shortly before the end of his 10-year term, President Obama asked and received Congressional approval for unprecedented special legislation that extended his term another two years.

The responsibility and the pressure of those years were unrelenting, but Mr. Mueller feels he was well prepared. “The most formative experience I had early on was the Marine Corps,” he says. “For preparing you for life and leadership, there’s no better educator than military service and, particularly, the Marine Corps.”

During the Vietnam War, he led a platoon based in the dense jungles along the Ho Chi Minh Trail. In December 1968, he received a Bronze Star for his “courage, aggressive JOURNAL

In the months before Mr. Mueller took office, there was concern at the FBI about increased jihadist chatter online, but no specific threat. “I anticipated doing the usual work federal prosecutors do,” he says, “and I had some changes I wanted to make, but all that went by the wayside after September 11th. After that, the principal concern, quite obviously, was terrorism.”

The focus of the Bureau shifted. Since 1908, its mission had generally been to investigate a crime after it was committed.

In the wake of 9/11, President George W. Bush charged Mr. Mueller with gathering intelligence to stop attacks before they happened. That required an overhaul of procedure and a shift in mindset.

Mr. Mueller’s leadership was crucial in those early days. “One of the issues that came up,” he says, “was that there was no love lost between the CIA and the FBI at that time, both because of statutes that precluded us sharing information, but also, we looked at things differently because we had a different mandate. We had to arrest and prosecute persons and put them in jail and the CIA and NSA are pure intelligence agencies. But we broke down those barriers when September 11th came.”

37

The improved cooperation created a consistent and effective response to future threats. Terrorist strikes get reported quickly but only those at the highest level of government are aware of the many attacks that are thwarted by good intelligence. Mr. Mueller is unable to fully savor the Bureau’s successes, however, because he understands how costly even one failure can be.

He says he is gratified “to have put into place some of the structures that enabled us to disrupt a number of terrorism plots but, whenever you say that, you’re reminded of those we did not stop: the Boston Marathon bombing, the Fort Hood shooting. There are those that slipped through and it felt very personal because you meet the families and the victims who were wounded in those attacks. So on the one hand, I think what we did went a long way to enhancing our protection in the United States and also overseas. Then again, I think the greatest downside is that we were unable to stop all of the attacks.”

During his tenure, Mr. Mueller transformed the FBI from a traditional law enforcement agency to a threat-based, intelligence-led national security organization. He was in charge of 12,000 agents in 56 field offices and 400 satellite offices in this country as well as 60 other countries, and it was not unusual for him to work from 5:00 a.m. to midnight. He reported potential threats to the Oval Office and acted as a counter-terrorism envoy to the leaders of some of the world’s most volatile countries.

Mr. Mueller grew up in a bustling household with four sisters across from the Princeton Graduate School and Springdale golf course. He would often ride his bike through the University campus to Princeton Country Day School where he was on the soccer, ice hockey and baseball teams.

“I loved sports, especially hockey,” he says. “PCD was a wonderful school for those sports.”

Classmate Howard (“Mac”) McMorris remembers those childhood years as idyllic.

“Bob and I would often meet to ride our bikes to PCD,” he says.

“Sometimes in the morning we would climb into the trees by the Princeton Infirmary to drill each other on French vocabulary.”

The two were close friends but had one disagreement that ended with them smearing well-chewed bubble gum in each other’s hair. Mr. Mueller does not remember the cause of the fight, but he vividly remembers his mother’s reaction when she had to take the scissors to his hair: “She was not pleased.”

Following eighth grade, Mr. Mueller’s family moved to Philadelphia and he entered St. Paul’s School. In 1966, after graduating from Princeton with a degree in politics, and marrying his wife of 51 years, he earned a master’s in International Relations from New York University.

took a position at a San Francisco law firm. From there, he joined the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California and ultimately became head of its Criminal Division.

“From 1976 to 2001, I spent 99 percent of my time as a prosecutor in Boston, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, and I did a stint in the Justice Department in the Criminal Division,” Mr. Mueller says, summarizing his career with typical modesty.

Under his leadership, the Criminal Division in the Justice Department coordinated the prosecution of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega on drug trafficking charges, one of the first major international crime prosecutions; and investigated the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, the first major terrorist incident involving U.S. citizens.

Additionally, John Gotti, the Gambino family crime boss, was successfully prosecuted.

“I’ve always loved investigating criminal cases, whether it was a narcotics case or a corruption case,” he says with the enthusiasm clear in his voice. “I’ve been very lucky I’ve been able to spend most of my career in public service because the rewards you get are not matched when you’re in the private sector. It’s a great way to pursue what you love doing. I ran a homicide unit here in Washington, DC and being able to be part of an investigation, and then to see justice done, is tremendously rewarding.” (He is referring to the time he gave up a lucrative private practice to work for a quarter of his salary in what was then considered the homicide capital of the U.S.)

[Bob Mueller] believes that keeping one’s values intact is simple, whether fighting a war, upholding the law, or responding to a national crisis: “You just hang onto your core beliefs.”

“I ran a homicide unit here in Washington, DC and being able to be part of an investigation, and then to see justice done, is tremendously rewarding.”

Mr. Mueller says he gets “jittery” when he is not working so, after stepping down as Director of the FBI in 2013, he became a visiting professor at Stanford University where he taught cybersecurity. He is now a partner at WilmerHale in Washington, where his practice focuses on investigations, crisis management, privacy, and cybersecurity issues.

Mr. Mueller has enjoyed a remarkable legal career, fueled by his passion for the work and his belief in its mission. In Washington, where politics sway most decisions, he is held in high esteem for his independence, rock-solid integrity and resourceful leadership.

He believes that keeping one’s values intact is simple, whether fighting a war, upholding the law, or responding to a national crisis: “You just hang onto your core beliefs.”

Dafna Tapiero ’87 Transforming Lives at Home and Abroad

Whether she is directing an ambitious global initiative in emerging nations or a community-based program of social services at home, Dafna Tapiero has improved the lives of countless people. She brings the same dedication and tireless work ethic to her volunteer efforts as she does to her highpowered career. In fact, the two are so interwoven, that one often informs the other.

A Princeton Day School course called Music, Art and Literature introduced her to Russian classics and inspired her to pursue the language at Johns Hopkins University, where she majored in International Relations. She spent the summer after her junior year in Odessa, Ukraine and then accelerated into a two-year graduate program at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies in Washington.

“I always knew I wanted to go into international affairs,” she says. “My family has lived all over the world. I had the idea I’d like to work in the field, but I certainly didn’t know how lucky I would be with the timing.”The dissolution of the Soviet Union JOURNAL

took place a few months before Ms. Tapiero’s graduation in the spring of 1992 and she found she was one of the few Americans who had both the language skills and practical experience to work in Russia. She joined the International Service Corps, setting up operations to convert military technologies to civilian purposes in Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, and Belarus.

She also developed trade assistance services for U.S. and Russian businesses.

That led to a position at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the division of the World Bank Group that focuses on the private sector in developing countries. At 24 years old, she managed IFC’s $40 million Russian Land Privatization Project.

“I helped with programs that transferred ownership of enormous state and collective farms back to the farmers. They had never made decisions before, like what to plant, how much or when, because in a demand society, everything was dictated. So we were trying to figure out a way to do it that wouldn’t completely disrupt the economy. It was really quite an extraordinary time of transition and the stakes were high.”

When the Asian financial crisis hit in 1997, she moved over to the division of the World Bank that helped countries become more financially resilient. She established and ran a global fund that raised $66 million to help countries reform their financial systems and build supervisory systems. Known as the Financial Sector Reform and Strengthening Initiative (FIRST), the fund has grown to over $120 million today.

A few years later, Ms. Tapiero returned to IFC to help oil, gas, and mining corporate partners do a better job of ensuring that local communities would benefit from the outside investment money.

“The companies we work with are determined not to destroy the social fabric of communities or harm the environment,” she says. “We help them create opportunities for employment, better schools, and more engagement. Our goal was to make sure that communities have an opportunity, not only to benefit, but to really take part in determining how they work with the private sector. And that was global — Latin America, Africa, everywhere.”

In 2013, she commuted from the U.S. to Rome as Senior Advisor on Innovative Financing in the head office of the United Nations World Food Programme, an agency that provides financing to governments suffering the effects of climatic disasters such as drought and floods.

Then in 2014, Ms. Tapiero and her husband, Alan Fleischmann, founded Laurel Strategies, a CEO advisory firm focused on strategy, communications, investor relations, crisis management, and philanthropy in Washington, DC. It draws on their many years of experience in the highest levels of government and finance to help clients navigate the complexities of international business. She loves the work but her travel schedule is as busy as it is exotic, and her suitcase is always half packed.

Throughout her career, Ms. Tapiero has dedicated herself to alleviating poverty and safeguarding vulnerable populations around the world. She also feels a great responsibility to affect change as a volunteer. The causes she joins benefit from her global perspective and understanding of how best to get things done.

and wife “duo” to sit on the Carnegie Hall Board of Trustees as Advisory Directors.

She also serves on the Leadership Council of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights. “His message is so important today,” she says. “There’s a renewed interest in finding a way to share his message and really change the dialogue and discourse, and keep that focus on human rights overseas and, importantly, at home.”

She is passionate about creating opportunity for young people, and seeks programs that empower and inspire them whether through training in technology skills or dance movement.

“So many organizations are doing great things,” Ms. Tapiero says. “What’s difficult is helping them to scale, to take it beyond this one city or this one little program and then expand it. There are so many ways you can add value, whether it’s with ideas or mobilizing people or raising awareness or helping with strategy or raising funds. I am humbled to be able to contribute to various organizations, such as NPower, N Street Village, CityDance, and Children’s Hospital among many others, that really will change the way people think, give people opportunity and hope. I believe you can harness philanthropy to transform the world.”

“There are so many ways you can add value, whether it’s with ideas or mobilizing people or raising awareness or helping with strategy or raising funds...

I believe you can harness philanthropy to transform the world.”

“I feel very lucky and I’m grateful. I’ve also been lucky to see different environments and assume leadership positions that allow me to push and drive excellence and drive results so that you actually get the impact that you intend. I don’t do anything halfway,” she laughs. “If I’m going to focus on something, I need to get it done.”

She has allied herself with a wide range of organizations and serves on the board of Synergos, a global non-profit that seeks to alleviate poverty, and the Fund II Foundation, which creates opportunities for African Americans and women in the technology sector. She is a member of the Lauer Philanthropic Foundation and the Global Philanthropists Circle. In addition, Ms. Tapiero and her husband are most likely the first husband SPRING 2017

Alexandra T. Warren ’02 An Advocate with an Arsenal of Knowledge and a Belief in the Positive

students aged 11 to 21. “I was attracted to the school because we have a way to transition people into the adult system, which almost no other schools have,” Ms. Warren explains. “Change is scary, especially for autistic kids, but our students can stay right where they are.”

In order to be an effective teacher, Alix Warren has spent an enormous amount of time as a student. She graduated from Colgate University in 2007 and, over the next decade, she earned two master’s degrees from Johns Hopkins University and received a total of 13 certifications from the Department of Education in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland as well as four from other schools. Today, as Director of Education at the Marcia D. Smith School in Gaithersburg, MD, she uses all of that knowledge and her considerable interpersonal skills, to benefit the autistic and developmentally disabled students under her care.

“I find what I do here so worthwhile,” she says. “I work with the children most significantly impacted by disability. They have failed out of probably five other schools by the time they get to us. We’re talking about students with autism, but also those with bipolar disorder and major behavioral issues who really have a number of challenges. “ The Marcia D. Smith School is funded by Montgomery County and state agencies and enrolls residential and day

Ms. Warren also works with the community to find off-campus employment that allows older students to gain self-esteem and work on social skills in a safe environment.

“My biggest challenge,” she says, “is helping the families understand that they haven’t failed, that their students do have potential because they’ve been told so often, ‘your child will never do this and never do that.’ I don’t focus on what they can’t do, but try to find their strengths and figure out a way to make that work for them. I tell them the truth about what the problem is. They need to know because that is what we have to fix, and it helps create a relationship with parents.” They all have her cell phone number because she says, “It’s about being connected with them so they feel they have a partner in all this. That’s also the best part of my job because when you get families that are really invested and understand our mission and our philosophy and how we want to help them, you create these lifelong partnerships, and the families will do just about anything to help.”

A large part of Ms. Warren’s work is administrative. She hires, trains, and oversees the development of the staff and ensures that all licensing requirements are met. She works with students, families, consultants, residential staff, and service

agencies in addition to acting as an advocate for students with county, state, and federal agencies.

I think she felt she really could continue on because we had her back.”

“I’ve learned so much from her,” says Katie Kaplan who began teaching at the school three years ago. “Alix presents things in such a positive way and she doesn’t let things bother her.

She’s very collaborative and she’s a great problem solver. She’s such a huge advocate for students. I’ve been in many meetings with the county where she’s said, ‘In order for these students to be out in the community, this is what we need and we’re not going to back down until we get it.’ She’ll push for whatever support the students need.”

“PDS rallied around me like no other school in the world would,” Ms. Warren says. “They made me feel that, even though I’d just lost a family member, I had 500 family members there.”

“When it comes to the local county or state or the federal government officials I deal with,” Ms. Warren says, “I’m an advocate for our students and I need to bargain or barter for things. So I have to understand what their endgame is and then figure out how I can work with them so we both get what we want in the end. It’s much more business-oriented, more mediation. I go really active with them and try to show them our values so they want to give us what we need.”

“Alix’s path has taken her to a place where she serves as a voice for those who are voiceless; a population of people who sorely need an advocate, a champion in their corner,” says Paris McLean ’00 (currently Head of the Lower School at Princeton Academy of the Sacred Heart) who came to know Ms. Warren when they both returned to PDS to teach and coach after college. “As an educator, she’s razor sharp; she’s always up to date. She’s got the degrees and she’s always seeking more, not just for self-fulfillment, but because that path will lead her to make a greater impact in her field. Alix is truly a selfless person.

I believe that comes from her good nature, but also because she has been the recipient of support and she knows what support can do for an individual.”

Mr. McLean is referring to the outpouring of support Ms. Warren received after the tragic car accident that killed her mother and left her badly injured the summer before her junior year at PDS. “I’ve always admired Alix’s resiliency, her optimism, and her humility,” he says.

Former Upper School Head Carlton Tucker h’13 agrees.

“She had a mental and spiritual resilience that was really remarkable,” he says. He recalls she was an outstanding ice hockey defenseman, a position that requires mental toughness, and feels that helped her come to terms with her loss. “If the other team gets by you and scores, you can feel responsible, and the most important thing you can do is to take a deep breath and move on. I think Alix took a deep breath after her mother’s death. I got the sense there was this beam in her eye, a determination that grew in her.

Ms. Warren is still learning. She has traveled to Ghana, Cuba, and Vietnam to exchange information on special needs education. “We can learn so much from each other,” she says.

“Often countries that are newer to special education actually find more innovative ways to manage it.”

“[Alix] serves as a voice for those who are voiceless; a population of people who sorely need an advocate, a champion in their corner.”

—Paris McLean ’00

“What I find to be Alix’s most remarkable trait is her neverending desire to learn,” says Brooke Popko Golin ’02. “She’s never content with the status quo and always seeks to bring positive change to the world around her. Alix is fiercely loyal, stands up for what is right, and isn’t afraid to voice her opinion, all while exhibiting grace and poise. Her students are extremely lucky to have such an inspiring role model. She’s patient, thoughtful, selfless, and one of the strongest women I know.”

As Ms. Warren looks to the future, she says, “I’d like to get more into advocacy because I do see how education systems are able to walk over people. People trust the school system. They just inherently believe that schools will do what’s in the best interests of the student, but that’s not always true. I want to get into advocacy and help families navigate the system but, ideally, I’d still be working with the same student population. It’s just my niche in life. I couldn’t imagine working with students who didn’t have some level of disability. They’ve added so much value to my life.”

Athletic Hall of Fame by linda maxwell stefanelli ’62

Elizabeth Hollister Burks Becker ’77 A Pioneer in Women’s Sports

There are not many women who would be thrilled to be given a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro as a 50th birthday present, and fewer still who would struggle 16,000 feet up the longest, steepest ascent route, through six dramatically different ecosystems to the summit and consider it one of their happiest moments. But Holly Becker is one of them. The adventure was a gift from a friend who invited her to join her climbing team, knowing she would be eager and well prepared for the challenge.

“Athletics have been the centerpiece of my life,” Ms. Becker says, explaining that she and her three siblings competed with and against their parents, each other, and a neighborhood full of friends. “We grew up with sports being something we did for fun, and for love of playing and for love of each other.“ Ms. Becker played field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse at PDS. She was also a member of its first interscholastic girls ice hockey team in 1975. That was just one of many times she would find herself blazing a trail in women’s sports.

“Women athletes were just coming into their own with the advent of Title IX, and PDS fielded very strong girls teams in those years,” explains Melissa Magee Speidel (now Associate Director of Athletics at Lawrenceville School) who came to PDS as a field hockey and lacrosse coach in 1975 at the urging of Ms. Becker, whom she had coached at summer camp. Fresh out of a competitive college program, Ms. Speidel says her rather demanding coaching style, high expectations, and college-level techniques were all new to her players: “The learning curve was huge, but Holly really stepped up her game and took it to a whole new level. She had a nose for the goal and she was aggressive with a strong will to win.”

Ms. Becker captained the field hockey team her senior year and although she played defense, she was high scorer by virtue of her blisteringly fast, well-placed corner drives. She served as president of the Athletic Association and was honored with All American status.

JOURNAL

Ms. Becker went on to Dartmouth and again found herself in the vanguard of women’s sports. “The college had turned coed only five years before so, as women athletes, we were able to really impact the program,” she says.

She played varsity field hockey and lacrosse all four years with PDS teammate and 2000 Athletic Hall of Famer Annabelle Brainard Canning ’77 who recalls, “Holly had an amazing work ethic. She would be in a fair amount of pain from shin splints and yet, time after time, elicited every bit of energy she had to lead our team to victory. She was an inspiration to all of her teammates. Tenacity was her hallmark. On the lacrosse field, she played cover point and had the job of stopping the free player. She never let them get even close to goal.”

In 1985, Ms. Becker took a position in Lawrenceville School’s college counseling office. One of her responsibilities was to help with the transition to coeducation. She coached the first field hockey and girls lacrosse teams there and says, “It was a rare opportunity to build a program and coach those pioneering first girls, and to remain connected to the teams throughout the past three decades.”

“She taught us to show up; to step to the ball; that if you make a mistake, you pull up your socks and make up for it.”

—Hilary Becker ’06 She understands the temptation to concentrate on one sport, but believes a three-sport athlete has a great advantage. “You learn to play different roles on different teams, and it’s good to have different coaches and know the different roles and strategies,” she says. “I love multi-sport athletes. I think they’re more fun to coach.”

43

After 27 years coaching lacrosse, Ms. Becker gave it up to devote more time to the Big Red Race, a community-wide 5K run she organizes that has raised over $100,000 for underprivileged children.

She still coaches field hockey, however, and her three daughters can attest to the enduring impact her coaching has had. Hilary, Lindsay, and Eliza Becker were all coached by their mother before going on to play various sports in college.

“Practice was never just practice, but an opportunity to impart a larger lesson, one we could carry off the field and into the much messier business of daily life,” Hilary ’06 says. “Sports — and life — test your mettle. She taught us to show up; to step to the ball; that if you make a mistake, you pull up your socks and make up for it. We learned how to accept defeat.

We learned how to fight adversity through determination. We learned resilience.”

Club & Varsity Ice Hockey – 3 years

Lindsay ’09 continues, “My sisters and I grew up on the sidelines while Mom coached. We had the privilege of being surrounded by strong female athletes, some of who went on to be All Americans, National Champions, and Hall of Famers. We would watch in awe as they took competitors by storm with speed and scrappiness and skill. It was not until we started playing on those teams ourselves that it became clear that Mom helped shape these remarkable athletes. Her exceptional ability to motivate players established the groundwork for enormous personal and team growth. She encouraged us to work hard, lead by example, and take care of each other first and foremost.”

Gold P Honorable Mention

“It is not without determination, loyalty, and a true passion for team sports that a person is able to endure four seasons of D1 college athletics,” adds Eliza ’12. “Yet my mother not only made it through eight seasons, she absolutely flourished.

Her bold spirit and enduring passion helped pioneer women’s athletics at Dartmouth. I am honored to have followed in her footsteps by playing four years of Dartmouth field hockey. I can say with utmost confidence that her legacy remains unwaveringly strong, highlighted by her Ivy League title teams, her senior captaincy, and dedicated alumni presence.”

1981 Agnes B. Kurtz Award: presented to “the woman who best combines proficiency in athletics with dedication to the furthering of women’s sports.”

“The joy of playing is essential,” Ms. Becker says. “You need to love what you do and your teammates, and you need to be motivated to be part of something bigger than yourself. The foundation of a team to me is that shared purpose; everybody working really hard for something together, as a family. You can always improve, you can always learn more. It’s humbling, it’s inspiring — it’s all those things that give you purpose and joy. What could be better than that?”

He taught history and coached at both schools and also served as the PDS Director of Admissions before retiring 30 years ago.
