LETTER FROM

Paul J. Stellato, Head of School

D

During the second day of opening faculty meetings, Advancement Director Kathy Schulte briefed her colleagues on the many events she and her office have planned for the 50th. Quite a list, indeed, as we endeavor to recognize and celebrate the many accomplishments of this great institution and its forebears, Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Country Day School. And quite a list Kathy read, of the school leaders – trustees and heads of school – and long-time friends who will return at some point during the year. In a warm, unguarded moment, Kathy noted that one of our current faculty was present on the first day of school, September 17, 1965. From the back of the room, the faculty member bellowed: “Yes, I was just starting junior kindergarten.” A roar went up, for this faculty member, youthful as he may be, is somewhat older than the head of school (who is a youthful 59). We settled down and moved on.

The beauty of the 50th reveals itself in so many ways: we have flourished for five decades, having secured a place in the pantheon of independent day and boarding schools; we are as strong, diverse, purposeful, and focused as we have ever been; in matters of our students minds and their interior lives, we are a beacon to schools which aspire to respond as fully and successfully to their students hearts as to their minds; and we are just close enough – just 50 years out – to touch the founding. It is, in every possible way, a golden age for our school. Just as we try to imagine the chaos, curiosity, and confidence on display during those first days and weeks in 1965, so do we try to summon the anticipation and excitement present always and everywhere. The new campus on the Great Road may have caused one traffic jam after another, but it was, at the same time, a cause for celebration: the arrival of independent, junior kindergarten-12, coeducation in Mercer County. To both of those things – traffic jams and educational breadth and scope – we have remained true and constant. But there is more still. The youthful vigor and spirit of limitless possibility, which so distinguished our school at its founding, have become the sinew and marrow of this (gently) aged institution. 50 years have not diminished the twinkle our school inspires in the eyes of its students, parents, and faculty. To set foot on our campus is to feel the energy of renewal; to feel that the place knows what it is about and devotes all of its time and talent in its pursuit. In this 50th year, as we research and explore our school’s early years, expecting we might uncover some long-hidden insight into our, we have, instead, come to a deeply comforting reassurance: we are reminded not so much about how things used to be, but rather that, at its founding, our school embraced every right, true, and good thing. And every day since, for 50 years, she has been faithful and steadfast to each. Had I been given the chance, I would have proudly taken my place among the first students to enter this new school. That ship sailed long ago, although another brought me here to experience – and play a small role in – this marvelous year. Each of you who reads this brief note and holds this school dear has played a role, too. In our collective 50th year, we should all take a bow and thank our lucky stars.

Paul J. Stellato Head of School

News and Events Class of 2015 Makes Gift to Princeton HealthCare Systems

Caroline Lippman ’15, announced at the Baccalaureate dinner that the Class of 2015 would donate their class fund to Princeton HealthCare System Foundation, making a gift in honor of members of the community who have battled or lost a loved one to cancer. The class made a gift of $7300 to the Princeton HealthCare System Foundation this summer. Ms. Lippman wrote in her letter accompanying the gift, “As so many members of our community have themselves been caregivers and family members of cancer patients, our contribution to the Caregivers Support Group reflects our class’s desire to honor these families who have been affected by cancer.”

Race Card

Reclaiming the at Princeton Day School

In March, the Community and Multicultural Development Team (CMDT) at PDS launched a project to encourage discussion and examination of social issues among students in grades 7 through 12, including the pivotal incidents in Ferguson, Missouri and Staten Island, New York. The project, Reclaiming the Race Card at Princeton Day School, was inspired by National Public Radio commentator Michele Norris’s powerful Race Card Project (www.theracecardproject.com), and asked students to distill their thoughts on race and identity into six words; and to place those words with their names on a Race Card. Former faculty and CMDT member Gil Olvera noted, “So often, ‘playing the race card’ is a conversation ender. This project re-envisions the ‘race card’ as a conversation starter.” After thoughtful conversations in advisory groups, hundreds of PDS students wrote down their thoughts in six words on their own Race Card, which were displayed in the main entrance of the school and generated much interest and discussion.

Destination Imagination Team Competes in Global Finals

The Destination Imagination (DI) Global Finals took place on May 20, with 1468 teams from across the nation comprised of 8000+ students competing in Knoxville, Tennessee. The PDS 6th Grade team “Roll the D.I.C.E.” placed first at the state competition in March and earned the right to represent New Jersey at Globals. This was PDS’s 18th year participating in Destination Imagination, and the 6th time a team went to Globals. Destination Imagination is a cause-driven, volunteer-led, non-profit organization dedicated to teaching students the creative process through STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), the arts, and service learning challenges.

SiMS

Announcing the SiMS (Success in Math and Science) Center

In April, PDS announced the opening of the SiMS Center in the US Library. The SiMS Center, which stands for Success in Math and Science, helps Upper School students succeed in math and science courses through a distinctive peer-tutoring model. Similar to PDS’s Writing Center, the SiMS Center provides a supportive environment with individualized attention, while promoting skills and attitudes necessary to achieve personal academic goals.

News and Events Princeton Day School Wins Both New Jersey and National Green Ribbon Awards

In the spring, Sustainability Coordinator Liz Cutler announced that Princeton Day School had been designated both a 2015 NJ Green Ribbon School and a U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School, a national designation. Ms. Cutler said, “Only five other independent schools and 52 public schools across the country won this 2015 national award.” The Green Ribbon Award honors sustainability leadership in reducing environmental impact, in educating students on environmental issues and stewardship, and in creating a healthy campus for students, faculty, and staff.

Maypole Day 2015

In a tradition that dates back to Miss Fine’s School, Princeton Day School’s second graders performed the Maypole Dance on May 1 on the Colross Lawn. The event featured student musicians performing while the second grade students did an intricate dance to weave the ribbons on two Maypoles.

BLUE AND WHITE DAY 2015

And the winner is B L U E !

Blue & White Day 2015

The weather could not have been more perfect for Princeton Day School’s annual “field day on steroids,” Blue & White Day. From the exciting Great Race—which boasted not only a runaway Pre-K team, but also a photo finish from Mr. Chris Devlin for the Blue Team—to some nail-biting tug of wars between teams, this year’s day was one for the books.

Technology & Classroom Updates in the Middle School

Over the summer, the Middle School classrooms and library were made over with new technology and furniture, including integrated audio/visual systems with short throw interactive projectors; walls painted with a special type of paint called IdeaPaint, which allows students and teachers to write directly on the wall using standard dry erase markers; and the beginnings of a maker space, including a 3D printer, access to a 3D scanner, and other items for creation (including “low-tech” items such as glitter and glue).

Chess Team Wins Third Place in National Tournament

The PDS chess team won third place and Winston Ni ’23 tied for first place in the 2015 National Elementary Championship in Nashville, Tennesee. This was a 3-day, 7-game tournament, comprised of more than 2000 of the best scholastic chess players from across the nation. Chess teacher Bonnie Waitzkin said, “Our PDS team of chess players had an amazing weekend in Nashville, with our team of Winston Ni, Kai Shah ’22, Albert Ming ’22, Dodge Martinson ’22, Jai Kasera ’23, Aadi Shankar ’24 and Eric Wu ’24 placing third among the many schools across the country fielding teams.” FALL 2015

Imagine the Possibilities at

Princeton Day School’s unique artist residency program, Imagine the Possibilities, sparked to life in 1996 and has flourished for 20 years, bringing renowned authors, illustrators, and poets to campus each year to work directly with students in both large-scale assemblies, and small hands-on working groups. The 20th anniversary year was a wonderful anniversary year, as the school welcomed poet and author Paul B. Janeczko (“Firefly July: A Year of Very Short Poems”), author and illustrator Matthew Cordell (“Hello! Hello!”), and author and poet Carole Boston Weatherford (“Becoming Billie Holiday”).

Remembering Carl Reimers The Reverend Carl Reimers, faculty member, department chair, dean, past parent, former trustee, committee member, and dear friend, passed away peacefully at his home on June 17. Having joined the faculty at Miss Fine’s School in 1960, Rev. Reimers came to Princeton Day School in the fall of 1969 and, during his 23-year career on the Great Road, served as Chair of the Religion Department, Dean of Students, and advisor. In 2007, Carl was tapped by then-Board Chair Jack Hall to join the board of trustees. At the time of his death, Carl was a member of the school’s 50th anniversary steering committee. The school’s sole endowed chair for a member of the faculty is named in his honor. Rev. Reimers is survived by his son, Carl III ’80, his son’s wife, Pamela, and their children, Grace and Charles, and his stepsons, Watt and Thomas Reynolds ’72. Head of School Paul Stellato noted, “It is difficult to reflect well the role which Carl played in the life of a fledging school or in the lives of the countless students, parents, faculty, trustees, and headmasters whom he taught, counseled, befriended, married, and buried. Carl’s advice was coin of the realm; his friendship was a prized, valued, enduring thing. The school he loved so dearly and served so well mourns his passing.”

Senior Awards Presented June 2015 Alumni Service Award: Shriya Ramesh and Zachariah (Woogie) Woogen Each year on Alumni weekend, the Alumni Association presents awards to alumni for outstanding achievement and service to others. The Alumni Association also gives an award to a senior who exemplifies the spirit and values of Princeton Day School through service to others. Shriya Ramesh accumulated over 900 hours of community service working in a medical clinic in India and in the PDS writing center. Zachariah Woogen served as Chair to the Community Service Committee, was a leading figure in the revival of the Upper School Community Service Day, and worked on behalf of many environmental causes. The two recipients of this year’s Alumni Community Service Award showed truly remarkable levels of selflessness and generosity of spirit in this extraordinary service-oriented class. John Douglas Sacks-Wilner ’80 Award: Paul Ammann John Sacks-Wilner ’80 was a young man of great strength and character, and grace of spirit. This memorial award commemorates John’s special kind of determination and dedication, and it goes to a member of the graduating class who has overcome adversity and shown resoluteness, courage and resilience in surmounting obstacles to achieve his or her goals. Whether it is the work Paul Ammann has invested in the Jacobson Scholar program, his ever-growing and thoroughly researched novel, or being named a writing center mentor and “Counselor of the Year” at PDS’s summer programs, he insists on putting in the time and effort to ensure his final product is authentic. He also happens to be legally blind. On a daily basis, he goes about his business, surmounting obstacles, without asking for special treatment and with a smile on his face.

Fred Woodbridge ’78, demonstrated extraordinary leadership as a senior class president and impressive qualities of citizenship all his years at PDS. This memorial award goes to two graduating seniors who have exhibited outstanding leadership qualities in developing class unity and spirit. Harrison Latham inspires a team spirit in others by radiating enthusiasm, optimism, and positive energy in all that he does. Throughout high school, he has applied that talent to many different mentoring and leadership roles, including assistant coach to the Nassau Girls U14 Ice Hockey Team, varsity athlete, Writing Center Mentor, and Peer Group Leader. With a strong sense of purpose and confidence, Grace Lee draws others to her and inspires them to action. As a leader in our Model UN group, she applied her knowledge of international issues in greater depth and enriched the club as a whole, and she also spent last summer exploring her passion for human rights as a student at the New Jersey Scholars Program. The Anne Shepherd Humanities Award: Rajiv Potluri and Mia Wong This award is given to a member of the junior class who has produced distinguished work in one or more of the following disciplines: English, history, music, art, or drama. Anne Shepherd taught English for 44 years, at Miss Fine’s School and then at Princeton Day School, retiring in 1995. Shepherd Commons is named in her honor. This year we have two recipients of the Anne Shepherd Humanities Award. Rajiv Potluri’s generosity, curiosity, and love of ideas enhanced the classroom. Whether he was offering a close reading in the classroom, bringing a character to life on stage, or lifting his voice in song as a member of Madrigals, he brought to bear a keen mind, a genuine humility, and a big heart. Mia Wong listens with generosity and care to her classmates, to the text, and to the world around her. In her classes and in her co-curricular engagement with environmental and social justice issues, she took to heart the notion that deep, lasting learning is cultivated from a constant, renewed willingness to see and listen anew. Mark L. Zaininger ’81 Memorial Award: Victoria Lach Established in 2010 through the generosity of the Zaininger family and friends, the Mark L. Zaininger Award honors an alumnus whose professional and personal life was dramatically and positively influenced during the summer of his junior year at Princeton Day School, through his participation in a creative, challenging and rigorous summer program. The award is given annually to a member of the Princeton Day School junior class whose proposed summer experience in pursuit of an interest or passion has the greatest likelihood of inspiring and revealing to the recipient new horizons and directions for her life path. Victoria Lach won the award to support travel to Prague in the summer to participate in an intensive writing program sponsored by the Putney School.

Marjorie Williams ’75 Journalism Award: James Ge The Marjorie Williams Journalism Award is in honor of the late Marjorie Williams ’75, who was a columnist for the Washington Post and contributing editor of Vanity Fair, and known for her keen wit and her insightful profiles of key political figures in Washington, D.C. This Award is given each year to a student whose writing for the paper embodies The Spokesman’s commitment to accurate reporting, insightful commentary, and adherence to the highest standards of style and ethics in student journalism. James Ge proved beyond any doubt that effective journalism is not achieved only by writing engaging pieces that illuminate the importance of events or ideas, but also by meticulous editing, copywriting, and attention to the small details that shape the look and feel of a quality newspaper.

The Princeton Day School Scholar-Athlete Award: Stefany Soltesz and Christian Vik This award recognizes students who have balanced a rigorous class load by maintaining a high standard of academic excellence and remained actively involved in all aspects of student life while fully committing to their athletic endeavors. Our two scholar-athletes were also Princeton Day School’s Statewide Scholar-Athlete nominees to the NJISAA. Gold P Athletic Awards: Kirsten Kuzmicz and James Radvany The Upper School’s Gold P award is presented to senior student-athletes who have contributed to the overall success of our interscholastic athletic program. The award celebrates athletic excellence, sportsmanship, leadership and participation on varsity teams. Frankie K. ’76 Sportsmanship Award: Katie Alden and Josiah Meekins This award is named for Frank Kontstantynowicz ’76, who was a revered student-athlete at PDS and at Harvard, where he was a member of the varsity basketball team. This memorial award is in honor of his natural athletic ability, his genuine friendliness, sense of fairness, and his natural and unassuming leadership.

Each year, the PDS Chapter of the Cum Laude Society inducts a number of students whose academic performance and citizenship fulfill this national honor society’s guiding principles of excellence, justice, and honor. These are students who, each in his or her own way, enrich the life of the school with their creativity, boldness of thought and generosity toward others as well as exemplifying good character, honor and integrity, in addition to academic achievement. In honoring them, we honor the best in each member of the class of 2015 and in all of us.

8th Grade Musical: “Seussical” The 2015 8th grade musical was “Seussical,” the popular musical based on the books of Dr. Seuss, with music by Stephen Flaherty and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and directed by Performing Arts Department Chair Deb Sugarman. It was a colorful and boisterous performance, and the 8th grade class completely charmed everyone in overflowing audience at the McAneny Theater.

Under the sea in “Wet Side Story”

4th Grade Operetta: Wet Side Story In March, the 4th grade had the opportunity to perform their operetta: “Wet Side Story,” an aquatic reimagining of the beloved musical, “West Side Story.” Performed in front of a packed house, the 4th graders were born stars, having a ball singing, dancing, and generally hamming it up “under the sea.” Even Head of School Paul Stellato got in on the action with a memorable cameo.

The ROBERT C. WHITLOCK AWARD

Established in 1995, the Robert C. Whitlock Award for Distinguished Teaching is one of the school’s highest honors for a member of the faculty. This annual award is presented to that Princeton Day School faculty member who best demonstrates the exceptional teaching skills, devotion to students, courtesy, zeal for knowledge and pursuit of excellence; and the qualities of gentleness, patience, dedication, and professionalism that were the hallmarks of Bob Whitlock’s 42-year teaching career. A committee comprised of past winners and the division heads reviews nominations and recommends a candidate to the Head of School. The award includes a stipend for professional study, travel, or other work that contributes to the recipient’s continuing excellence as a teacher. This recipient of this year’s Whitlock Award, also celebrating his 25th year of service to Princeton Day School, was Upper School English teacher Tom Quigley. In his remarks honoring Mr. Quigley, Head of School Paul Stellato said, “The health and wellness of our school society has been Tom’s keenest interest, and he has protected it by unmasking those things that threaten it: anonymity, carelessness, laziness. He has fought with every weapon at his disposal and, when they proved too little, invented or empowered others: Citizen of the Week, Cymbals, the Writing Center. Congratulations Q!

Perfect Marriage By Linda Maxwell Stefanelli ’62

The Merger of Miss Fine’s and Princeton Country Day Schools

O

On December 14, 1960, trustees of the recently incorporated Princeton Day Schools met for the first time. Their agenda was daunting: merge two wellestablished independent schools, Miss Fine’s and Princeton Country Day, to create a new school that blended students, faculty, curricula, administrations and traditions. In addition, the trustees were responsible for overseeing the design and construction of buildings to accommodate 13 grades on an undeveloped 70-acre campus. And through it all, they needed to exercise the utmost sensitivity toward the people affected by the changes. “This was something entirely new and a little scary,” says former trustee Markell Meyers Shriver ’46. “We were shaking things up in a way that wasn’t comfortable for a lot of people who were perfectly happy with the way things were. The board was dedicated and really wanted this merger to happen, but I think we knew we were stepping off a cliff.” Their feelings were understandable. They were not only blazing a trail in education, but radically changing the structure of two of Princeton’s oldest and most successful schools. In 1899, May Margaret Fine, a bit of a trailblazer herself, opened a school to prepare girls for college. It grew to include kindergarten through twelfth grades. At that time, boys were enrolled only through fourth grade, so in 1924 several parents created Princeton Junior School for their sons. It bridged the gap until ninth grade, after which most of the boys went to boarding schools. In 1930, the school moved from 10 Bayard Lane to Broadmead and was renamed Princeton Country Day.

JOURNAL

After World War II, changing demographics and the baby boom caused enrollment to soar at both schools, placing new demands on their limited space. Miss Fine’s, housed in the former Princeton Inn at the corner of Bayard Lane and Nassau Street, began looking for alternate sites as early as 1948. By 1957, the situation was acute. MFS Trustee Grace MacNeil minced no words in her report to the board: “The cafeteria is hopelessly inadequate . . . the library is too small . . . classroom space is inadequate . . . playground space is pathetic.” Fire was also a concern in the handsome, but outdated building. About that time, PCD was notified that Princeton University would soon need to reclaim the playing fields it allowed the school to use. In addition, boarding schools were becoming less popular as parents weighed the advantages — and economies — of keeping their boys at home. Since PCD had reached a point where expansion was no longer feasible, it also began to search for a new home. Unexpected Gift Spurs Merger MFS and PCD trustees were exploring ways to combine operations when Colross, a graceful Georgian-style house on 18 acres, came on the market in 1958. Their interest in the Great Road site inspired an unexpected gift that finally brought the two schools together.

MFS Headmistress Shirley Davis enthusiastically told parents, “We are not merging identities, but each (school) will become stronger and richer through the limitless opportunities of our new association.” As plans evolved, trustees recognized the need to have a single administrator in charge. Both heads were interested in the position, but the trustees thought it best to appoint someone from outside the school community. Accordingly, in March 1963, Thomas Hartmann, headmaster of St. Mark’s School in Texas, was named principal of PDS. Ms. Davis and PCD Headmaster Peter Rothermel were made assistant principals and continued to run their own schools while planning for the new one. Growing Pains Misunderstandings and bruised egos were perhaps inevitable. Mr. Rothermel soon resigned and Herbert McAneny, a teacher with 20 years experience at PCD, succeeded him. The faculty had little contact with Mr. Hartmann, who worked out of an office in Colross, and worried the curriculum was being revamped without their input. Another area of concern was the great disparity in faculty salaries. Although MFS teachers had a retirement plan, they were paid much less than their counterparts at PCD. As trustees grappled with these issues, it became apparent that more consolidation would provide significant savings and be more efficient.

“It seems obvious we will have Investment banker Dean to offer the same curriculum to Mathey and his wife were “There has been no larger single change in both boys and girls or parents actively involved with both student-body composition in the history of will feel that one or the other schools and were familiar with independent schools...

It was just the impetus the trustees needed. In to be handled centrally . . .

Indicative of the close ties between the schools and the University, Harold W. Dodds, president emeritus of Her words were prophetic. In 1964, PDS officially combined into one school, with one building and one Princeton, served as the first chair of the PDS board. faculty and dropped the final “s” from its name. And, once again, it found itself pioneering an educational trend. Originally, PDS planned to offer coeducation only in kindergarten through fourth grades and to house the Lower In Lessons from Privilege: The American Prep School Tradition, School in its own building. Single sex education would Arthur Powell says of coeducation, “There has been no continue in fifth through twelfth grades.

FALL 2015

On April 24, 1964, ground was broken for the new school and, on September 27th, Ms. Dilworth laid the cornerstone in her first official act as board chair. It was not long before her mettle was tested. In January, Ms. Davis, who was on a year’s paid sabbatical to travel and study secondary education in the United States and Europe, unexpectedly resigned. Then in March, six months before school was scheduled to start, Mr. Hartmann also tendered his resignation.

On September 17, 1965, Princeton Day School opened its freshly painted doors to 625 students. After a year of new experiences and challenges, the school welcomed Douglas McClure as its first headmaster and began to forge a distinctive identity.

As the entire venture hung in the balance, Ms. Dilworth and the board acted quickly and decisively to fill the vacuum in leadership. They formed a six-person administrative committee to take on many of the principal’s responsibilities and established a faculty committee on operations to handle faculty concerns. The latter, made up of MFS and PCD administrators, consisted of Mr. McAneny, Fowler (Mike) Merle-Smith, Winifred Vogt and Beverly Williams. Their knowledge of the founding schools and their innate sensitivity did much to smooth the transition during PDS’ first year. They came to be known affectionately as The Fearsome Foursome. “Everyone understood we’d been left in the lurch and banded together to make this experiment work,” remembers Ms. Vogt. “In fact, although it felt like a tough challenge for the school at the time, having the headmaster leave at the outset may have helped galvanize the integration of the faculty that would become the cornerstone of the success of the new school.”

Fulfilling Its Promise On September 17, 1965, Princeton Day School opened its freshly painted doors to 625 students. After a year of new experiences and challenges, the school welcomed Douglas McClure as its first headmaster and began to forge a distinctive identity. “Doug displayed a knack for identifying and hiring great teachers, and he was wise and brave enough to given them enormous autonomy,” says current Head of School Paul Stellato. “He was bright, articulate, charismatic, intellectual, and competitive, qualities he sought in the school’s first faculty. The qualities he defined as most important to our school at the moment of its founding endure to this day, for he defined them so clearly, as did his faculty. At a time (the mid-60s and 70s) when the role of the independent school was changing quickly, Doug knew what he, his faculty, and his school were about, what they stood for, what they valued. As such, his influence in shaping school culture continues today, in the image the school has of itself.” Although PDS’ formative years coincided with a time of great social upheaval across the country, on campus Mr. McClure created a climate of optimism, academic innovation and growth. Mr. McClure and those who followed have perpetuated the ideals Ms. Davis outlined over half a century ago. “Both (schools) basically have a common aim: to give the best possible education to our students and to develop to the fullest their minds, talents and characters, to stimulate creative and independent thinking, to give them opportunities to experience the joy of learning and the responsibilities and privileges of democratic learning.” Fifty years later, that is still its mission and its promise. The Fearsome Foursome: Herbert McAneny, Beverly Williams, Winifred Vogt, and Fowler (Mike) Merle-Smith.

LETTER FROM THE

Chair of the Board of Trustees

I

I don’t remember much about the admissions process in 1969 when I applied to the 4th grade at Princeton Day School except that I must have been nervous about taking my very first entrance examination with many other hopeful applicants. I do remember, however, that first day in September when I was dropped off at school. I wore a brand new back-to-school dress. I remember dodging cars and buses while walking across the campus, and then entering through the front doors and down the open stairway to the Lower School, and into Mrs. Roberts’ warm and inviting classroom. The hallways were filled with energy and happy chaos, the teachers open and welcoming, and the possibilities for learning seemed endless. When you enter the building today you will encounter much the same. Back then, however, the main building was only four years old and much smaller; the grade I was joining had been kindergarteners on the opening day in 1965 of the newly merged Miss Fine’s and Princeton Country Day School. One could sense, even as a 9-year-old, that this was an exciting place to be, where students’ curiosity would be nurtured, where talents would be discovered and developed, and where one would certainly be challenged intellectually, physically, and emotionally. There was a sense of history and tradition carried on from the two great institutions that went before, and there was also the sense of optimism and excitement that happens when something is so new and filled with promise. In the early years, we straddled the past and the future, and like the toddler or teenager that tests newfound independence and abilities, we grew as an institution with passion and belief in ourselves, occasionally stumbling (particularly during the times of turbulent social change in the early years), but always resilient. We have continued to thrive and develop as an institution, decade after decade, because we are a school that is deeply connected to our rich history and tradition, and also passionate about planning for the future. How could 50 years have passed so quickly, and how could the school have possibly grown to be so outstanding in such a short amount of time? The key to the school’s enviable strength lies in four pillars that have been hallmarks of the school harking back to the 19th century; visionary leadership, extraordinary community support, dynamic and inspirational teaching and programs (for an example, read about the history of our theater program in “From Our Town to Our Town” on page 30), and the ability to attract bright, inquisitive and motived students. Today, we are able to build on the strength, stability, and vitality of the school’s past 50 years to create and execute plans that will continue to advance the school and allow us to be a leader in independent day school education, and provide an outstanding education to generations of students to come. We are committed to ensuring access and opportunity to a diverse population of exceptional students. We continue to strive to provide strong foundational and innovative programming for excellence through outstanding academic offerings. We seek to support our faculty through rich and varied Faculty Professional Development programs and courses. And we plan to strengthen our physical plant through the development of enhanced facilities. Over the past 50 years, we have seen the school develop into a nationally recognized independent day school whose students attend the finest colleges and universities in the country, whose opportunities are extraordinary, and whom we believe do indeed, “leave Princeton Day School well equipped for college and beyond: prepared to act knowledgeably, to lead thoughtfully, to share generously, and to contribute meaningfully.” We are very fortunate to have Paul Stellato, our visionary leader, guiding this institution and leading us into the next great half-century for our school.

Community Council, 1970

1970 YEARS of PDS The Evolution of the Student Experience by Phoebe Outerbridge ’84

Lew Bowers ’70

In 1965, Vietnam, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X dominated the news, “The Sound of Music” premiered to the delight of families, and the cost of a postage stamp was five cents. The year also marked the birth of Princeton Day School—from the wedded educational forces of Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Country Day. To current PDS students, the events of the Sixties are so far removed from their lives they might be relatable only as chapters in a history textbook or as a backdrop for a Hollywood movie. Likewise, one might surmise that the student experience back then—a product of those times—would be equally foreign. Free love may have fallen by the wayside, but has the PDS student changed as considerably as the times and culture over the last five decades? JOURNAL


27

Community Council, PDS’ student government, is a perennial institution itself; a participatory democracy, it offers a good barometer of the changing times and a clear lens through which to view the evolution of the student experience. Speaking with some of the Community Council presidents from the past 50 years elucidates a common theme: the PDS student experience at its core has varied surprisingly little. You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby Two past presidents of Community Council, Lew Bowers ’70 and Georgia Travers ’09, both served during very eventful times of our society. Though 40 years apart, their recollections share uncanny similarities—and not just because Birkenstocks made a recent fashion comeback. The late 1960s were heady times, and according to Bowers this reverberated throughout student life at PDS: “This was the time of women’s lib, civil rights. The school was a stage and anything seemed possible.” He adds, “There was a pervasive and rampant idealism that was imbued in us.” In these days of nascent coeducation at PDS, Bowers and the school community were welcoming a new population into the fold, individuals who had heretofore been a “mysterious phenomenon” to Bowers: females. A seismically different experience for the students, coeducation ushered in some of the hot button, perennial issues that would settle into the agenda of Community Council meetings for decades to come, including dress code and honor code.

Fashion Do’s and Don’ts Dress code has been a perennial topic at PDS throughout the years. “One slightly contentious issue was a push by the council to have the school dress code allow students to wear t-shirts. We saw it both as something we really wanted and also a test of whether the school administration would truly take student views into account,” recalls Marc Collins ’88, another Community Council president. “We didn’t get our way, but the council did earn respect from the faculty and administrators that engaged on it.” Why all the sartorial scuttlebutt throughout the years? While debating t-shirt allowance may seem trite, it reveals two things about PDS, as articulated by Carlton Tucker, former Head of the Upper School (1993-2013): “One of the unique aspects of PDS is the informal dress code. This is somewhat deceptive. The informal culture and community of the School belie the intensity that is below the surface,” he explains. The discussion fostered around issues like dress code is also indicative of the healthy relationships and cooperation among students, faculty and parents on the community council.

During the early chapters of Princeton Day School’s history, Bowers says the forming of the Community Council itself, melded from both schools, their traditions, and their elected representatives, was a micro version of student politics in the macro context of the political and social era beyond campus. He states: “We were learning about freedom, citizenship, and self-government. It was great training for the real world.” Four decades later, the late 2000’s saw a similar magnitude of social evolution and change. Travers says the Upper School students of her generation were also very “engaged and politicized,” noting that the first Obama election helped to catalyze change—specifically regarding equal rights. For example, one of the issues that came up during her community council presidency was whether the GayStraight Alliance (GSA) would be allowed a vote among the other clubs contending for voting rights. “Even though it was only a few years ago, the progress of gay rights was less advanced and pronounced than it is today, and very few kids were ‘out’ in the Upper School,” she explains. “I remember the tension and how it became politicized.”

1988 Community Council, 1988

Jeffrey Schor ’97, another Community Council president, says that the dress code battle was already fought when he was in the Upper School, and that there were no loud cries for change at that time—except perhaps to modify the numerical grading system (a “1” was an “A”). Yet, he echoes Tucker’s assessment of the independence afforded to PDS students. “We had enough structure but the teachers also gave us freedom, and respected your thoughts, creativity and opinion,” he recalls.

Student-Faculty Collaboration

Plus Ça Change…Honor Code

Travers also emphasizes the close collaboration with the faculty and leadership of the School in her recollections. During her senior year there was a confluence of change in leadership nationally and in the PDS community: the 2008 presidential election of Obama and the installation of Head of School Paul Stellato, colloquially known then as the “Stellato-stellation.” She notes: “Mr. Stellato was really involved with community council and made a huge emphasis on bringing in student leaders to his office and having constant dialogue with him.”

“I bet I can tell you two things that the community council is discussing this year,” jokes Sandy Bing, who was Head of the Upper School from 1969-1987. “Dress code and honor code. It’s the factor of continuity that links one class to another.” The honor code, its policies and even its nomenclature were regularly debated throughout the years in community council. The students regularly reevaluated the honor code, particularly the contested issue of the “rat clause,” or the student’s responsibility to report other students’ violations. In the mid 1990s, the students voted to rename the honor code the “Academic and Personal Integrity Declaration” in order to take the emphasis off the policing aspect, but that the council voted about 10 years later to reinstitute the honor code. “Wait long enough…things come in cycles,” says Tucker.

JOURNAL

The strength of faculty/student relationships has endured throughout PDS’ history. In his 18 years in the Upper School, Bing says he has witnessed an evolution toward greater informality between students and faculty, which empowered students to express their points of view. “There has always been, and continues to be, very strong and trusting relationships among faculty and students at PDS,” he stresses.

The high level of rapport with the faculty is emblematic of how much of the student experience at PDS has remained unchanged from the school’s early days and even from its more conservative predecessor schools, where uniforms of coats, ties, and dresses were the norm. Even in the late 1960’s, Bowers recalls a student independence that is familiar today: “The faculty was quite skilled at giving the appearance of freedom while keeping parameters of control, which was their job. They were good at giving the students a lot of rope to try to figure things out.”


29

A Changing Environment Two of the major movements that have become pronounced in the last two decades are the increased diversity of the PDS student body and the intensified pressure facing high school students, both a reflection of the times. Keri (Sheehan) Putnam ’83, head of Community Council her senior year, says the PDS student of the 80’s was more carefree and had less on the agenda than today’s student: “I think the typical student was fun loving and serious enough about school, but the pressure never felt too much the way it does for kids today. We had activities and work, but also plenty of time and permission to relax and do nothing.”

At the heart of Princeton Day School’s mission is and has always been one individual: the student. Much has changed at the School since its incarnation in 1965 as Princeton Day School—heads of school, faculty and staff, additions and renovations to buildings and campus, athletic and curricular offerings, even the makeup of the student body itself. But one thing has remained a constant: the rich experience offered to and enjoyed by the Princeton Day School student. Likewise, while every decade since the beginning of PDS has been culturally and politically distinct, the strength of the student body, and its voice and empowerment through another lasting institution at the school, the Community Council, has been and will likely remain steadfast.

At that time, Princeton Day School attracted students from a much smaller swath of the map; a majority of kids came from the town of Princeton (largely from families familiar with independent schools), with far fewer students hailing from other communities. It could be argued now that the reverse is true. Sandy Bing points out: “Princeton itself had not become as diversified as it is now. Diversity became a recruitment goal on both the student and faculty level.” Now, thanks to an increasing financial aid pool and a larger enrollment, a majority of students at PDS are from families new to independent schools. “That,” says Bing, “in and of itself changes the dynamics and environment within the school.

Our Town: Princeton, NJ Our Town, the much-loved and perennially produced three-act play by American playwright Thornton Wilder was first performed in 1938 and went on to a hugely successful run on Broadway. The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama that year. It seems that virtually all Americans have either seen the play or performed in it, and its popularity endures because the story is both without sentimentality and deeply heartfelt. It is a seemingly simple tale told well, focusing on the fictional American small town of Grover’s Corners between 1901 and 1913 through the everyday lives of its citizens. But the story it tells is much deeper. Performed without props or a set, and narrated by the Stage Manager, the play celebrates humanity with all its hypocrisies and flaws, and encourages theatergoers to participate in the action onstage and identify with the characters. Interestingly, this play—perhaps the most popular of the twentieth century—has deep connections to Princeton. The play had its world premiere at the McCarter Theater in Princeton in 1938 before its Broadway run. In addition, Wilder not only earned a Master of Arts degree from Princeton University in 1926, but also taught at the Lawrenceville School after graduating until 1928. This play also happens to be the first play ever produced at Princeton Day School in 1966, under the direction of Munroe Wade, with musical direction by Leon DuBois, and with the soon-to-be very famous alum Christopher Reeve ’70 starring as Wally Webb. Though Mr. Wade served as the director of the play, according to the program reproduced in the 1966 Link, the true guiding force behind the production, as well as the performing arts program at the newly opened Princeton Day School, was undoubtedly Herbert McAneny, who happened to star as Professor Willard. Herbert McAneny: The Cornerstone of the Theater Program The inscription on the plaque outside of the McAneny Theater reads: The McAneny Theater is named in honor of Herbert and Marguerite McAneny

whose dedicated teaching and creative directing

inspired generations of students in performing arts

at Miss Fine’s School, Princeton Country Day School, and Princeton Day School. October 19, 1996.


31

Herbert McAneny came to Princeton Country Day School in 1931, and served with distinction as a teacher, drama coach, and ultimately as headmaster of the school. While headmaster of PCD, he was tapped to be assistant principal along with Shirley Davis, headmistress of Miss Fine’s School, of a newly merged school under the headship of Thomas Hartmann in 1965. As you’ll read in the article on page 20, it was a tumultuous time for the merging of these two distinct and distinguished schools, and Mr. McAneny eventually became one of a faculty steering committee, known as the Fearsome Foursome, who was tasked with running the school in the first year before Mr. Hartmann’s successor Doug McClure was appointed. At Princeton Day School, Mr. McAneny eventually became Head of the Upper School, and founded the school’s performing arts program. A conversation with Mr. McAneny’s daughter Wendy McAneny Bradburn MFS ’50 confirms that theater was a passion for Mr. McAneny his whole life. “He fell in love with acting in the theater back when he attended the Riverdale School in the Bronx. He then went on to Williams College, where he continued to be very active in the drama program.” His wife, Marguerite Loud McAneny, who directed many plays at Miss Fine’s School, was also passionate about the theater and the couple met when she

was studying circus in Paris and he was studying at Oxford after Williams. In addition to starring in or directing plays at Miss Fine’s School, Princeton Country Day School, and PDS, the couple were founding members of the Princeton Community Players, an amateur theater troupe that was a mainstay in Princeton for decades. Mrs. Bradburn also said that her father was very much an actor, while her mother, who served as the curator of the theater library collection at Princeton University and went on to work at the McCarter Theater for many years, loved directing. The couple seemed at their peak when Mr. McAneny was on stage, and Mrs. McAneny was directing. “In life, my father wasn’t overly demonstrative or emotional. I think acting allowed him an outlet to express himself. It was his big pleasure in life. And he absolutely loved the good reviews!” Mrs. Bradburn said. In the book From These Roots, by William K. Selden, which chronicles the history of Princeton Day School, it is written of Herbert McAneny: “All who knew him admired and respected his gentle sensitive personality, his academic competence, and teaching ability, and his contributions to all aspects of the school, concern for the welfare of others and his reputation in the community.” The “Our Town” program, from the 1966 Link.

Herbert McAneny coaches students for a performance. Christopher Reeve ’70 won the 1990 Alumni Award at his 20th reunion.

Mr. McAneny continued to be the leading force of the theater program at PDS until 1976. In honor of Mr. and Mrs. McAneny, the new 400-seat theater on campus was named the McAneny Theater in 1996. The Theater Program at PDS Today Stan Cahill came to Princeton Day School from St. Paul’s School in 2007, taking on the role of Director in Residence and succeeding Ross Hindley (with whom he had starred in a production of “Romeo and Juliet”). Mr. Cahill was drawn to the strength of the theater program at PDS, and was impressed by the music theater program that Mr. Hindley nurtured. He said that he wanted to continue that tradition but also place emphasis on the straight play in the program. And he wanted to focus on building new theater curriculum and working in a focused and collaborative way with the students. “I believe in letting the kids design the sets and learn the tools,” said Mr. Cahill. He was also interested in pushing beyond the school community into the local and global community. As a result, Mr. Cahill created connections with other schools and theaters, including the McCarter, and has taken two student groups to Edinburgh to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Mr. Cahill has also sought to shine the light on the strength of the program and to receive national recognition for the PDS; and he has succeeded. Over the past few years, the PDS Theater Program has received many impressive accolades from the greater theater community. In 2013, the program was nominated for 8 New Jersey Theater JOURNAL

awards, and won two for their production of Anon(ymous). In 2014, the production of Urinetown received 13 Paper Mill Playhouse Rising Star Award nominations and won 7 awards, leading the state in awards. And to complete an impressive year, PDS was named the winner of the High School Theater Honors Program in the Northeast in Stage Directions Magazine, a national theater magazine. The Stage Directions program was a particularly impressive feat, as the program celebrates the most extraordinary high school drama programs nationwide. On winning the honor, Mr. Cahill remarked, “We enjoy the position of being the first school from New Jersey to win this honor. Additionally, we are now positioned to be a school with access to technology and scripts before they are released to the national educational theater community.” Mr. Cahill is quick to point out that it’s important to remember that Princeton Day School is not a performing arts school. “Our program is built for everyone,” he said. And yet, so many recent alums are studying performing arts in college and moving into impressive careers in the arts, from Morgan Weed ’03 who starred in “Rent” and “First Wives Club,” to Brian Smith ’03, who produced the Broadway smash “Kinky Boots,” to Ben Burwell ’11 and Eric Falcon ’11, who are working on the tech side of theater in lighting and design. Celebrating Our Town, Our School Stan Cahill knew that he had to produce “Our Town” in 2015, the 50th anniversary year of Princeton Day School.

PDS THEATER HIGHLIGHTS THROUGH THE YEARS

It is not only his all-time favorite play, but one he has never directed. And interestingly, the play has never been produced at Princeton Day School since the 1966 production. He noted, “It’s one of those plays that every time I read it or see it, with either professional or amateur actors, I always take away something new from it.” Mr. Cahill envisions this new production as a way to quite literally celebrate the student’s journey through the school, by making use of different locations in the school for each act. Act I will take place in the Gymateria in the Lower School—a focus for our youngest students. Act II will be performed in the Campus Center, a hub for both Middle and Upper School students. And the final act, because of its theatricality, will be performed in the McAneny Theater, a fitting tribute to Herbert McAneny. Mr. Cahill himself will be taking the role of the Stage Manager, the godlike figure who helps the audience navigate the story. And, true to his collaborative style of creating theater with students, a student, Rajiv Potluri ’16, will be directing him in this role. “This play is about cracking through the barriers, and getting to the heart of the story and how we communicate,” said Mr. Cahill. “This is what we do in the theater program at PDS. This is how we do it.” He finally notes, with excitement, “I’ve been waiting to do this play for 20 years!” And now, after 50 years, the Princeton Day School community will visit “Our Town” again. Mr. McAneny would be proud. Stan Cahill

1965-1975

As the founder of the Performing Arts Program, Herbert McAneny made the theater come alive for countless highschoolers from his first performance of Our Town in 1965 to his final performance of Oklahoma in 1976, jointly directed with Don Gilpin. The first musical, Little Mary Sunshine, was directed in 1969 under the musical direction of Frank Jacobson. Mr. McAneny directed one of PDS’s most famous alumni, Christopher Reeve ’70, in many productions including Little Mary Sunshine and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

1975-1985

The second decade began with Ten Little Indians, directed by guest director Jack Osander from McCarter Theatre. Building upon the success of Herbert McAneny, the musical Anything Goes was performed under the creative direction of Don Gilpin, supported by Frank Jacobson as the musical director and Mimi Schwensen, a former Rockette, as choreographer. In 1979, at the invitation of a PDS alumnus, the production of Carnival was performed at the Circle Theatre in Manhattan. In 1983, Gilpin experimented with a new format for the fall plays, presenting a series of one-act plays based on The Good Woman of Szechuan, The Proposal and The Man Who Turned Into a Dog.

1985-1995

Don Gilpin completed his tenure at PDS with the production of Mame and Arms and the Man. The next two years featured guest director Chris Rothwell, who tested the students’ skills with The Mikado and Noises Off. In 1987, Paul Bernstein was appointed director and oversaw three musicals and four dramas. Frank Jacobson was responsible for musical direction during Bernstein’s tenure, contributing to the rave reviews received by Hello Dolly, How to Succeed in Business and Anything Goes. Ross Hindley took over the director’s role in 1991, beginning a long and acclaimed directing tenure.

1995-2005

Ross Hindley brought a new level of professionalism and enthusiasm to the stage while encouraging students to take risks and try new roles, in both acting and technical positions. Frank Jacobson remained as musical director through 1999’s production of Mame, and returned for On The Town. In 2000, Bryce Hayes came to PDS and worked with Hindley as musical director through 2004’s production of Lucky Stiff. Mr. Hindley exposed both cast and crew to professional theater by bringing in dancer/choreographer Jim Ruttman, lighting designer Craig Steltzenmuller, costume designer Frank Champa, and conductor Jerry Rife.

Annual Report 2014/2015 Princeton Day School

A

As we begin our 51st year of co-education on the Great Road, I believe that Princeton Day School has never been stronger. Our strength is revealed in many ways throughout the school and it is particularly evident in the pages that follow. What strikes me the most is the depth and breadth of those who choose to support Princeton Day School. It is perhaps best illustrated in the alumni who give back to their alma mater. You will see the names of alumni who give to Princeton Day School who are from our founding schools (Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Country Day School), the earliest years of the school’s creation, and our most recent graduates. The deep and rich tradition of support began before Princeton Day School even officially opened its doors fifty years ago and continues today. It is my great pleasure to thank you – alumni, parents, trustees, grandparents and friends – for your support of Princeton Day School this past year.

GREETINGS FROM THE

Alumni Board Greetings from the PDS Alumni Board! I am thrilled and honored to be the incoming President of the Princeton Day School Alumni Board. As a PDS “lifer,” I have an unshakable connection with the school that was so instrumental in my personal development. This will be my fifth year on the Alumni Board and I am excited to begin two new chapters in my PDS career: Alumni Board President and PDS parent. Over the next two years, I hope to continue to aid the Advancement Office’s efforts to strengthen the bond between our tremendous alumni community and Princeton Day School, both through bringing alumni back to campus to see firsthand how the school has evolved and through Annual Fund participation. The wind is very much at our back as we head into the new school year. Last year alumni participation in the Annual Fund increased by 4% and the school attracted a record number of leadership alumni donors – a particular and continued area of focus. We are excited to carry this momentum into the fall as we further execute on our plans to increase alumni engagement and support. Please reach out to me if you would like to be involved in any of our alumni outreach efforts. Chris Gerry ’99 President, Alumni Board

I heard from one of Jean Williamson Thompson’s sons that she died this spring in Florida, where she had lived for many years. She lived in Princeton as a child, (her parents founded the Westminster Choir School) but she didn’t enter Miss Fine’s until her senior year. She married a Presbyterian minister who was a Navy chaplain and later had his own congregation; she seems to have been a whiz at managing her six rambunctious children and successfully organizing all sorts of events for her husband’s congregation. I have enjoyed corresponding with her by email for several years. I regret to say that our classmate Ruth Druck Ward died in a rest home in Mt. Laurel, NJ on May 29. Her daughter Ellen Nye, with whom I had been in touch, was with her and gave me this news.

We learned from Roger Budny ’59 that his sister, “Joan Budny Jenkins Dawe passed away on July 25, 2015, at age 83. She died peacefully in her home in Hinchley Wood, Surrey, England… After college, Joan moved to New York City, where she was executive secretary for I.M. Pei, the architect. In 1960, she married Anthony Jenkins, who was a director of R.K.Harrison and Co., Ltd. and an underwriting member of Lloyds, London. After a Princeton wedding at the Present Day Club, the couple took the Ile de France to London, where she lived ever since. In the 1970’s, Joan was very active as the president of the American Women’s Club in London. Mr. Jenkins passed away in the early 1990’s and Joan later remarried Roger Dawe, comptroller of Bovis, the international construction company. Later, he was Lord Mayor of Westminster. The couple then lived in Sotogrande, Spain, as well as London. Mr. Dawe passed away in April 2011.

Joan had no children… After services in London, Joan will be interred in the family plot at St. Paul’s Cemetery in Princeton.

Carroll Stephens ’72 sent us information from her mother, Jean Samuels Stephens’ obituary after the spring Journal went to press. Jean died on February 11, 2015. Jean and her husband Wade Stephens had three children who attended Princeton Day School. Carroll ’72, David ’77 and Betsy ’79. Jean’s father, Norrell Samuels was chair of the Miss Fine’s School Board of Trustees. Her aunt, Betsey Willey Samuels ’35, taught at Miss Fine’s. Jean often claimed that she was the co-author of the Miss Fine’s School alma mater. She spent most of her married life living at the Lawrenceville School, where she was a housemother for ten years, and later teacher of drama. She was always involved with Lawrenceville’s drama program, acting in more than 70 productions. She acted in the school’s faculty players shows and was the co-founder of the Lawrenceville School Performing Arts Camp.

Scott Ellsworth, husband of Betsy Stephens Ellsworth ’79, wrote about Jean the morning after she died:

“I never had a father-in-law. Betsy’s Dad, who was a legendary teacher at the Lawrenceville School in New Jersey, died a few years before Betsy and I met. But I did have a mother-inlaw, Jean Stephens, who passed away last night, at age eighty, on the way to Princeton Hospital. Bright, funny, and grandly dramatic, Jean had worked at Lawrenceville for an astonishing fifty-five years. Starting out as the House Mother at Hamill House in 1959, where she first doled out sound advice, bandaged cut fingers, and soothed the spirits of more than a half century of Lawrenceville students, she also bridged the gap between the era when women at the school were unpaid employees, to later serving on the school faculty as a teacher of diction and drama. A talented actress, stunningly beautiful, a true Anglophile, and a lifelong member of the old, Northeastern, and now sadly all but gone, progressive wing of the Republican Party, she also had an amazing capacity to change, especially on matters of race. When she was a nervous young House Mother, one with considerable Southern roots, she had refused her husband’s request to have Ralph Bunche, the African American diplomat, who had won the Nobel Peace Prize, and was visiting campus, over for dinner. Three decades later, she happily shared a cigarette backstage with James Brown, Soul Brother No. 1. The truth was, embedded

deep in her character, was the fact that Jean always looked for the person inside—something that literally hundreds and hundreds of Lawrenceville students, from the 1950s until just last week, came to know and rely upon. In her last years, to my delight and surprise, Jean became a dedicated, and knowledgeable fan of the Duke Blue Devils basketball team. After every game, I could always look forward to a phone call from Jean. “Did you see how well Okafor blocked out?” she’d ask, or “Quinn was certainly on fire with his threes, wasn’t he?” Then, she’d always end with, “Well, who do we play next?” No, I didn’t have a father-in-law. But I had one hell of a mother-in-law.” We are very grateful for the many years Jean served as class correspondent for the MFS class of 1952.

On the day of Jean Samuels Stephens’ ’52 memorial service, the Lawrenceville Drama Department took the bench her family had Jean Samuels Stephens given in her ’52 on her wedding day honor years ago, put a photograph of her and flowers on it, and had it in front of the Kirby Arts Center.

A wonderful note from Caroline Savage Langan: “Have been for two weeks in Truro (Cape Cod) with two daughters, sons-in-law and four grandchildren. The weather behaved, ate lots of grilled bluefish and enjoyed Atlantic, as well as bayside, swims. Home again to find that Walden Pond and White Pond have infestations of blue algae, a dangerous plant that causes illness. No pond dips allowed. Voilà!” Thank you, Ellen and Caroline.

Alice Marie Nelson sent the program from a May recital to the Alumni Office. Included in the biography of the program was: “…spent the major part of her operatic career in Germany where she specialized in such mezzo-coloratura roles as La Cenerentola, Rosina, in Barber of Seville and L’Italiana in Algeri…. She made her Carnegie Hall debut in Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo. The Washington Post said of her, ‘Miss Nelson is both a master program builder and clearly a superior singer…’ Her recordings include Intimate Thoughts on the Capstone label and Francesca da Rimini by Zandonai on Opera D’Oro.”

Alice Marie Nelson said, “it has been a rather fraught time Program book from lately as Ann Alice Marie Nelson ’55 had a stroke in May. She’s recovering wonderfully well but is not as able to do a lot of things she used to do as quickly as she’d like. We are grateful that she is as well as she is.” Alice Marie did sing a concert on May 31st at Gallery-in-the-Field in Brandon, VT. Otherwise, she is just trying to survive the incredible humidity and heat that have hit our part of the world! Alice Marie also said she remembers our time at the shore as a class−June 1955! She remembers getting to be the color of mahogany, and she has a graduation photo to prove it! JOURNAL

Mary “Ty”Tyson Goodridge ’55 with her daughter, Elizabeth Dixon

Merriol Baring-Gould Almond ’55 and her husband at their 50th wedding anniversary party Merriol Baring-Gould Almond sent news of “a splendid celebration of our 50th wedding anniversary in June organized by our four children. Family and friends gathered for a glorious country weekend near Hunter Mountain in upstate New York. We’re still living in the same house in West Hartford, Connecticut that we’ve lived in since 1968. Two of our four children live in California; a son is in New York City and a daughter in Winchester, Massachusetts. We have nine lovely grandchildren. We had a delightful chance encounter with Lucy Busselle Myers at Radcliffe Day in June, and Teri Beck Morse will join us for a Tanglewood weekend soon.”

Laura Travers Pardee sent news of a visit (glass of wine one evening) with Jeanie Crawford, at her charming house in Camden, Maine. Jeanie joined Laura and Fred for breakfast the next day. They were in Maine to attend their grandson, Ben Pardee’s, graduation from Bates College. Ellen Jamieson Franck wrote that she and Ernie have been snowbirds for the last few years, dividing their time between Sea Cliff, NY in the summer and Venice, Florida in the winter. In both locations Ellen spends time with golf, volunteer work, family and occasional travel and continued, mostly unsuccessful, efforts to learn Spanish.

Mary Tyson “Ty” Goodridge sent an update saying “life in San Miguel, Mexico is filled with joy. My heart remains full. Recently, I was fortunate enough to go to Santa Fe, New Mexico to see Nicky Knox, who is now under hospice care. She continues to have a keen mind, courage and focus on the important people in her life. Her 15-year-old

Chloe King continues to enjoy traveling (Rhine River cruise in May), playing golf (as often as possible in NH in summer and fall, and Florida in March) and knitting, reading... and just being retired! Had a wonderful long weekend visit in Santa Fe, NM for the wedding of one of my nephews. Life is good!! Thank you all for sending news. Hoping for more next time!

We open with condolences to Joan Pearce Anselm and her family for the loss of their youngest sister, Barbara Pearce Williams ’61, in June. Joan also wrote that “southern France for three weeks is not a bad alternative to Maine this summer.”

The US women’s soccer victory was particularly sweet for Anne Harrison Clark as media reports cited Title IX during coverage of the team. One of Anne’s first lobbying efforts was for Title IX, which certainly enhanced women’s opportunities in sports. Kudos to Anne—I’m not sure we recognized that particular contribution to athletics when she was named to the PDS Athletic Hall of Fame several years ago! Charlotte Cook sent news of two visits in June with Marina Turkevich Naumann— the second of which included Cicely Tomlinson Richardson and Charlotte’s husband. “As I was walking up to our class headquarters for our 55th class reunion at Wellesley, the first classmate I saw was Marina! She said she felt rather shaky since this was her first extended outing away from home since Bob’s death. She was brave to travel so far, and braver still to endure the somewhat medieval accommodations in an old Wellesley dorm! In a wonderful twist of fate, we were assigned rooms next door to each other, and saw each other frequently during the next two-plus days.

Marina enhanced the festivities with birthday napkins, gifts for the birthday girl, and other imaginative party favors. We indulged in lots of laughing and reminiscing—I wish more MFS ’56ers could have shared this time together!” (I’ll second that, with thanks for a most memorable birthday!

Margy Pacsu sent a picture of herself and her husband Bob Campbell with their daughter, Alexandra, and her fiancé, Stephen, taken “on the morning (May 4) Stephen asked our Alex to marry him. We celebrated at Home Depot as we all needed items. Our son and his partner Nancy Kwan from Hong Kong were not there but were nearby. This really is Toronto today! More to come...a destination wedding next May in Mexico, for goodness sakes. It certainly beats the Springdale Golf Club in 1956.”

“Thayer Clark Paine died at home in Canaan, NH of a massive heart attack on March 24, 2015. There was a memorial service June 20th at the nearby Cardigan Mountain School, where her brother, Dudley Clark, PCD ’56, taught history. “After nine years at MFS, Thayer graduated from St. Timothy’s School in 1957, Smith College in 1961 and later from Columbia University Business School. She worked in NYC for Eleanor Lambert in the fashion industry, as an administrator at Education and World Affairs and later as the business manager of a law firm.

“In July 1972, Thayer married Michael Paine, MD, an orthopedist in the Thayer Clark Paine British Navy, and MFS ’57 (1939-2015) moved to England settled in Canaan, where they lived until NH, near her Michael retired in brother, Dudley 1999 as an Admiral. Clark, PCD ’56, Then they bought and after her husband’s renovated a house in retirement from the Canaan, NH to be British Navy near Thayer’s brother, Dudley. Thayer had many houseguests from all over the world from all parts of her life, played lots of bridge and joined a book group. Michael and she developed a beautiful garden that was often open to the public. “Thayer became a lifelong friend when I moved to Princeton in fifth grade. Thayer was in my wedding; our daughter, Ann, was in her wedding. Thayer was godmother to our son, Andy. Bill and I visited Thayer and Michael for a week in their home in Portsmouth, England. Thayer insisted that we do nothing and prepared all meals 24/7. Thayer was quiet, reserved and thoughtful. She always kept up our friendship even during times we did not see each other. I won’t attempt to define our friendship. We knew each other so long that we did not have to explain ourselves. I miss her terribly.”

I was amazed that Thayer’s life had touched mine so unexpectedly, so many years after our school days together at MFS.”

Helen Wilmerding wrote: “Thayer was a month older than I, which was a lot when we met in first grade. I admired her curly hair. I saw Thayer in London from time to time when she came up ‘to town.’ The last time I saw her was a couple of years ago in NH. She still made a delicious dinner. Our British Navy ‘boys’ talked ships while the ‘girls’ admired the delectable objets d’art. Thayer was a lovely person and I’m so glad I knew her over the years.

“Good things coming up… Maine for a month with young cousins, followed by my sister Jane (MFS ’51), who all cook well and wash up. We’ll be in London in December for Gerald’s 90th birthday and a lot of family.”

Mary Strunsky Wisnovsky wrote from her summer travels in France with Joe: “When I think of Thayer I always remember how beautifully dressed she always was. Thayer was a very kind and proper woman.”

Susie Smith Baldwin added: “Trust you will enjoy the classic photo of how ‘proper’ Thayer looked at 11, when she and her siblings were decked out for a 1950 outing to “proper” destinations, walking NYC’s Fifth Avenue or NJ’s Spring Lake. For me, going to Thayer’s wild Mountain Avenue lakes was like going to Vermont right in the middle of Princeton. How wonderful the greater Princeton community can now enjoy the Clark Estate as Mountain Lakes Preserve. Thayer’s brother, Dudley, told me their father purchased the original 80 acres from the legendary Mrs. Palmer for $50,000 just before the end of WWII in 1945.”

Frank and I spent two weeks in Iran on a Harvard Alum trip in May. How very different that country is from most Americans’ view of it. Witness the dude (green) and the sporty car (flaming red) in the photo, typical of the country’s whimsical and abundant public art. More important, about 75% of the population is politically moderate. Only 20% pray even once, let alone 5x, a day.

I’ve never met a warmer, more welcoming nation of people, from all walks of life. Though distrustful of our government (not without historical cause), they love Americans and desperately want to be respected and re-connected to the world. As several said, “Please tell JOURNAL

your people what we are really like.” Highly educated and sophisticated, they are fed up with the hardliners and supportive of the growing reformist movement in their government. (Many women are letting the required scarves slip further and further back on their heads, a metaphor for their growing defiance.)

Penny Hart Bragonier Back on home ’60 in Iran turf, at least two of our classmates remain gainfully employed full-time. Nancy Davis Sachner is still going strong with her psychotherapy practice and service on Connecticut’s professional board, although she’s poised to cut back in order to audit courses and do volunteer work. Mary Jane Burbidge Hayes plans one more year of demanding work at the Institute for Advanced Study, then retirement. Unfortunately, her back problems, though improved by surgery, continue to trouble her. I suggested that her friend Shirley Davis (not), who was similarly afflicted, may be taking revenge for MJB’s leadership in our eighth grade bell-stuffing episode. Caroline Godfrey Werth happily reports good health a year after surgery. She has become an avid quilt-maker but plans time out for a September visit to Harriet Gaston Davison in England.

Please, friends, between now and the next Class Notes deadline, I would love to have your news or thoughts about this time in our lives or anything else that’s on your mind.

Fiona Morgan Fein 10 West 66th Street, #25D New York, NY 10023-6212 212-799-9542 ffein@mac.com Nancy Smoyer 375 Crystal Road Fairbanks, AK 99712-1249 907-457-8473 nrsmoyer@alaska.edu From Nancy:

The themes of this report seem to be reunions, travels to foreign countries, with miscellaneous activities thrown in. Julia Cornforth Holofcener started us off with another great report about herself and her husband Larry. “A lot happened over the three months we were in the UK. After a seven-day voyage on the QM2, we arrived in Southampton on May 17, and ferried over to the Isle of Wight and stayed for the next seven weeks at the lovely Priory Bay Hotel. Larry’s Faces of Golf for the British Golf

Museum was being cast at our foundry in London, so we had to be in the country for checking purposes. On July 10, we drove to St. Andrews in preparation for the unveiling of his ‘magnus opus,’ 116 portraits of history’s greatest golfers on four bronze bas reliefs. He worked on it for a full year and it will be sited on the front of the Museum. Following the historic Open, we traveled to Dorset to visit friends and re-connect with the Fellowes, of Downton Abbey fame, who have a casting of Larry’s Allies on the grounds of their newly restored manor property. From there, we ventured on to Stratford, via the Cotswolds, and met in Stratford the amazing woman who is head of the Shakespeare celebrations for the Bard’s 400th anniversary of his death in April 2016. She wanted to discuss a casting of Larry’s life-size sculpture for the very public Bancroft Gardens. From Stratford, we drove to Wales to visit friends and stayed at the Celtic Manor Golf Resort to see if the ‘powers to be’ might be interested in a casting of the Faces of Golf. On to Oxford to visit more friends, go to the foundry to check a wax of the Shakespeare for Stratford, and then back home on the QM2 again. I wouldn’t call it a ‘relaxing holiday,’ but rather another Holofcener adventure!”

Joan Yeaton Seamon, too, has been busy, she wrote, “We spent another wonderful week at the Chautauqua Institution in western NY in early July. There are eight weeks in this program, each with a special focus through lectures, study groups, performances (theater, symphony, opera, dance) each evening. Our week’s theme was ‘21st Century Literacies,’ which I found so very appropriate after my years as Director of Adult Education and Literacy at the U.S. Dept. of Education in the ’80s and ’90s and then with the National Association of State Boards of Education. “On our travels we spent a day at the Corning, NY Museum of Glass which I would highly recommend to all. Exquisite modern glass sculpture exhibits as well as a history of glass production and design beautifully done. “This fall Hal and I will revisit Rome for a week on our own....our favorite city....and then join an OAT group for a three-week tour of Sicily. Life is good.....HOT summer here in Williamsburg but early a.m. golf and tennis beat the heat most days!” Sheila Long had something new to report. “My latest project is to try to make a balm for sore muscles, like the one we used ten years ago in Japan after sitting zazen for many hours each day. One of the participants in our interfaith monastic exchange had made the balm, and she taught me how to make it six years ago, when I stopped at her monastery in Norway, on my way home from France. Recently, I cleared a space in which I could make small batches; some achy muscles have got me motivated to give it a try. I’ve ordered essential oils, 1/2 oz. tins and a double boiler, and an herbalist down the road has given me advice, along with a hunk of beeswax. The next step will be creating labels and finding someone to print them.”

“I continue to be happy functioning as a church ‘sub’ rather than at my previous job—have had a much healthier and happier year than in quite a while. And I am actually tending to my writing, though still with less consistent application than would ideal. But.... a big improvement. “I would still be happy to see anyone passing through NY−and I like the reunion idea.”

Peggy Wilbur continued the reunion theme. “The Big Event so far this year was my 50th reunion at Bryn Mawr. At our class meeting, Cary Armstrong Rothe’s name came up as one of the departed. Her sweetness and just plain niceness were commented on, to which I added her bravery after the very sudden death of her young son from a condition he’d had since birth, but no one detected. David was a donor, which is another life, thus making his loss a bit easier to bear, and this of course bears keeping in mind. At a get-together in DC in April, I was pleased to see both Kleia Raubitschek Luckner ’63 and Marita Raubitschek Hopmann ’65! “I hope to go to Senegal in the fall to work on getting a school for children of emigres off the ground in order to keep the children who have been left behind off the street. The government of Senegal, which does not have a lot to spare, has actually donated land for this fine project.”

Lucia Norton Woodruff is taking a break after those reunions and other travels. “I am having a ‘Staycation’ at home alone for a few weeks in Austin, very refreshing after a whirlwind eight weeks of travel from late May until late July. Paul and I went to our two 50th reunions, his first in Princeton, where I got to march down the hill in the P-rade [I’m jealous] between lines of increasingly younger and more diverse graduates, behind cheerful, beloved Bill Bradley! The high point was seeing a friend of my mother’s, Maida Pollock. How incredibly moving to be with someone who knew my mother so well! ­— and I knew her too. The Swarthmore reunion was terrific and made me feel better about going there as we sang folk songs, caught up with each other in small groups, performed the Mozart Requiem. As Cynthia said, it is quite special. It was particularly interesting to contrast it with Princeton’s!

“Next we went to Norway, Greece and Turkey....and finally the best part of all, a Woodruff family reunion of 24 in Maine, then a week of chamber music with old friends. “You can see why I need the ‘Staycation’ to digest all this! I will have recovered enough to want a 55th MFS reunion.”

Reunions are important, especially as we age and lose some of our classmates, as we lost Barbara in June. Fiona Morgan Fein wrote: “I am sadder than I can say to report the death of Barbara Pearce Williams whom a few of us have known since nursery school. She died at home in Oakdale, CA, on Friday, June 5th, unable to sustain the fight against her body’s rejection of the lungs she received in transplant in October 2008. As you can see from her entry in our last class notes, she was grateful for every day her life was extended and despite many recent restrictions, lived as fully as possible right up until the end. She was buried beside her husband Tom in Escalon, CA and I was there to represent all of her childhood and college friends. Despite our grief it was wonderful to be with her siblings and to meet her step-children, grandchildren, two small great-grandchildren, of whom she spoke so often. Though her life ended too soon, there was a great deal in it to celebrate.”

I, Nancy Smoyer, continue to enjoy traveling to new places. In January I spent two very entertaining weeks on a cargo boat (Aranui) going from island to island in French Polynesia to deliver cargo and let about 150 tourists off for several hours to see the island and visit with the local people. Then when I continued on my own to Bora Bora, I was bitten by a mosquito, which resulted in chikungunya, a virus that produces really high temperatures (104) and affects the joints to the point where I could barely walk. Since 80% of the people on the islands have had it, everyone knew what I was going through, which gave me a bond with them. I rallied after three days to do amazing snorkeling, but I spent much of next 10 days on two more beautiful islands recovering between brief excursions. The opportunity to go to Estonia in July for an international convention of Jehovah’s Witnesses gave me the chance to visit two countries I probably wouldn’t otherwise have gotten to. I first spent a week in Riga, Latvia, staying in the lovely Old Town and visiting the countryside with new friends. Both countries have a very difficult history, to say the least, and I had to remind myself frequently that it’s been only 25 years since they’ve become independent of Russia.

My next trip is to Cuba (for the third time) with Road Scholar in January. I’ll do a twoweek immersion course in the Dominican Republic beforehand to jump start my Spanish. In between travels, I continue to organize a yearly event for veterans, do Hospice and other volunteer activities, as well as enjoy our summer of long days.

Back to reunions. How about for our 55th at PDS next year, unless another option comes up?

Class Notes

This was the 50th college reunion year for many of us, as Cynthia Weinrich reported on hers. “I had a great time at two college 50th reunions in May and June. The first was the official one at Harvard, which was very interesting and enjoying and quite inspiring (the latter somewhat to my surprise). And they treated us 50-ers royally. The second was an informal gathering at a small group of our dorm mates, at a house in Gloucester, MA shared by the extended family of one of them. I hadn’t seen some of these people to talk to since college, so was very interesting and rewarding. And a couple of the husbands I hadn’t met at all. I think we were all quite astounded and overwhelmed by still ‘being here’ and seeing ourselves ‘50 years after.’ Much to think on.

Mary Liz Keegan Colley’s husband David sent the following: “I’m sending a press release, in attachment, about Mary Liz’s photographic work, specifically our recent book Prospect Park: Olmsted and Vaux’s Brooklyn Masterpiece, which ran more than a hundred of Mary Liz’s images. She’s not good at publicizing herself so I, her husband, am acting as publicity agent.” Sending the attachment doesn’t work but please email David at david.colley@verizon.net; I am sure he would be glad to forward it on. Happy news from Sonia Bill Robertson: “Our news is daughter, Carey, received her PhD in social work from UNC in May; she and her husband Louis are expecting their first child—a girl—in September! Louis has been asked by the Marines—for whom he is a lawyer—to obtain his master’s in International Law. So off they go to UVA in Charlottesville, where they will be for the next year. Then, stay tuned.” I will be having our annual lunch with Sonia and Jock at the end of August when they come off the ferry from Nantucket. What fun to hear from Kitty Walker Ellison: “Yes, it’s a ghost from the past. So good of you to take on the Class Secretary job.

“Dan and I moved from Steamboat Springs to Loveland (CO) last fall in part because this offers more options for help in dealing with his Alzheimer’s. As is the case with this insidious disease, things have gone downhill and I have had to place him in a care facility. He seems to be adjusting well and I’m slowly figuring out this next phase of my life. Our two daughters and families have been wonderful help and support. Other than that I haven’t had time for exciting adventures or travels.” We wish Kitty all the best of her new life journey.

Kate Sayen Kirkland reported: “Sitting here in summertime Houston, where options are reduced to broiling sun or frigid air conditioning, I focus on memories of a wonderful May trip with my sister, Connie (’68), to Chatsworth and Sissinghurst, where spring flowers bloomed profusely in the cool English air. I also managed to catch the end of Princeton’s spring. Otherwise enjoying various activities and my two noisy grandsons. Like all your grandchildren, mine are adorable, brilliant, and perfect (LOL). It is so much easier to be a grandparent!” Congratulations to Carol Estey (note her new email address): “We are still in Columbia, MO, where we will stay for a bit, but I just retired from running the dance program at Stephens College! I will miss the creative outlet and the students but I am ready not to work 24/7 anymore. (Such is the life in academia, a place I never expected to land.) I will be heading East for a break in the Catskills and in Maine before returning to start teaching an acting class at a theatre here in the fall and to see whatever else might come up to engage me.

And, on the ever exciting changing world front, after 26 years together, Linda and I got married in Missouri. And now we are even legal! Amazing. Hope you are well—I am relentlessly healthy. Please use this email address (estey. carol@gmail) and do pass it along as the Stephens email could go away eventually.” Cindy Brown bought us up to date: “Single life, simple life, hot Florida summer, some evening swims, some morning tennis, started doing a Meals on Wheels route, took a great books class with lively discussion of short stories (lots of men, what a treat!), and went on a late night turtle walk on the East Coast and watched a Loggerhead lay and bury her eggs then lumber back to sea (awesome). This spring I went on a tour of Croatia and then spent a footloose week in interesting Budapest. In September, sister Sally and I will spend two weeks on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, reminiscent of summertime at the Jersey shore.” Pat Halcomb Phillips and Leo headed from Delray Beach, FL to their apartment in Washington, DC, where they were for the summer—certainly cooler than Florida!

Susan Mathews Heard is busy! “Bruce and I are continuing to travel as much as possible. We will take an ocean cruise from Southampton to Lisbon in September, and then join Susan McPherson on an AMAWaterways river cruise on the Douro River in Portugal. We know that will be fun and relaxing!! I continue to work with several music-related nonprofit organizations, including the Colburn School in Los Angeles, LA Opera and the Opera League, the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions in the Western Region, and Metropolitan Associates. My activities feed my soul and keep me off the streets!!” I had a good visit Susan Mathews Heard in NYC last March; after our brutal winter here New York was balmy with minimal snow. My daughters and I went to Denver in early June for Lisa Kellogg’s lovely wedding (Win Dickey), bittersweet as you can imagine, I hosted a luncheon on Friday at the Brown Palace Hotel for close family members and friends. Lisa showed up in a dress of her mother’s from 1960/70s. It was such fun for all of us. Win’s husband Spen now continues the tradition of every July 4th weekend here on the Cape. Gratefully, all three of our children are on the East Coast for the first time in 10 or more years!

This is the year that most of us turn (gasp) 70. Happy birthday and may your celebrations continue all year long! Andy Updike Burt and her husband Stephen are getting ready to leave for a trip to Hawaii with one of their sons and his family who have bought a small house on Kauai. This is a JOURNAL

70th birthday trip for them, and they plan to hike, snorkel, go birding and do photography & sketching. That son, Peter Swarz-Burt, is an artistic blacksmith creating many beautiful railings and decorative ironwork for NYC brownstones, but his passion, dating back to high school, is making swords and Damascus steel knives. Self-taught with some mentoring by colleagues, he recently won the competition on the History Channel’s Forged in Fire series for his Crusader Sword. From Kauai, the Burts will go to explore the Big Island and its volcanoes, and then travel to the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska to see some of the last glaciers on earth. Andy continues to be a climate justice activist and has allied with a group working closely with Wabanaki tribes and nations on land sovereignty issues. On her actual birthday in January, all their kids and grandkids came to Maine, and they attended a Bowdoin hockey game and went out to a great local pub for ales and dinner. Turid Helland wrote that she turned 69 this year, but celebrated her husband’s 70th this spring. She works at a university in Norway (Bergen), and the upper limit of retirement is 70. She plans to continue her research on dyslexia and language impairment in children after retiring, in an emerita position. As for her 70th birthday next year, “I hope for a nice party with my children (a son and a daughter), three grandchildren and other close relatives. Greetings and congratulations to all from Miss Fine’s School of 1963! A wonderful place to look back on!”

Kathy Sittig Dunlop met Bonnie Grad Levy in Orlando when Bonnie was there for a meeting. Kathy and Richard went to Morocco for a three-and-a-half-week trip, but returned after a week because they thought he was having a heart attack. The symptoms turned out to be a pinched nerve. In May, Kathy went to Paris with her daughter, Allison. They attended parts of the French Open, saw friends, and explored Paris. Kathy and Richard plan to celebrate her August 70th birthday in Iceland. Kleia Raubitscheck Luckner is happy to be living in McLean, VA near her son, Mark, and daughter, Maia. She would love to know of MFS-ers in the area. Kleia has been busy taking care of her granddaughter who was born six weeks prematurely. She spoke at the 60th Anniversary Convention of the American College of Nurse Midwives. A quick note from Sally Campbell Haas brought news that she spent July and part of August on Cape Cod.

Virginia Elmer Stafford wrote that she is semi-retired and living in Madrid, Spain. She still conducts a few phone therapy sessions each week and will be open to seeing some new clients in Madrid. She starts intensive language school in September so is traveling on a student visa, which did require that she have insurance to transport her back to the US should “I get ill so I guess I am not fooling anyone about my age!! I would love to have visitors and promise to be a great tour guide.” Ellen Levy offers web page design at www. waverlyart.com.

Pamela Sidford Schaeffer turned 70 in April and she said, “To my surprise, nothing shattered or fell off or out.” She celebrated by going to a Neil Diamond concert in Washington, DC. “He’s older than I am, which cheered me no end. He just got married for the second time, and he had a lot of energy. I think I’m keeping up with the energy-level, and in my next life I’m going to have a great singing voice AND marry numerous times, just for variety!” The Schaeffers have been enjoying their second grandson, Max (daughter, Jacqueline’s son), who lives near them in LA. “He is of course the most intelligent, attractive and accomplished nine-month-old alive. He is very active and has eight teeth. Our granddaughter, Samantha, age seven, just lost her first tooth. These milestones are magnificent, and we celebrate every one!”

Pam ended her email “I’m looking forward to our mini-reunion in Oregon in September. Alice and Laurie and I will indulge our fantasy that we are still in high school and still bright and interesting and gorgeous! Being old and blind and deaf has its merits!”

Laurie Rogers and her partner Bob are very involved in sailing. They participate in weekend cruises each month then a weeklong trip in August, hopping port-to-port on the north shore of Long Island. On breezy days they enjoy taking friends out for an afternoon’s sail. They have just completed a year’s residence in their condo, and Laurie reports that she is slowly pulling together interior decoration (it only takes money!) She spent the spring potting plants and doing flower boxes for the deck. Laurie ended her comments with, “I continue to do Pilates twice a week but doubt I’ll live as long as my mother. She died July 23rd, just one week shy of her 101st birthday.” Laurie and her sisters were wonderfully attentive to their mom in the last years of her life. I am looking forward to a mid-September visit from Laurie and Bob and Pam and Leonard.

I can’t believe it’s already August of 2015! So many of you have made great travel plans. I assume that you are, even as I write, on a trail, boat, course, mountain top, in a temple, museum, or walking through some ancient ruins somewhere in the world. We seem to be a traveling crew. I soon will be traveling, myself, to Massachusetts for my son, Hobie Hare’s (PDS ’93), wedding. He and his fiancé, Lucy MacCallum, will be married in a country setting on the north shore on August 22nd. It should be a great celebration!

Dora Lange is only traveling to countries that begin with the letter “C.” She told me this in a recent email. “We gained another granddaughter in June (five grandkids now) and am delighted to report that grandchildren continue to be one of our greatest joys!! Have been in Santa Barbara for the summer—George continues to threaten to retire, but hates the thought of trading polo for house-husband! Travel plans this year: Croatia in November. Am checking off the C’s (China and Costa Rica) with Cuba on my list for next year.” Would love to tag along, Dora, if you need an extra hand.

Susan Jamieson wrote that she’s in a city that has a “C” in its name, as in Washington, DC. “I am in DC with a brand new grandson, which brings grandchild total to three! Two for my daughter and one for my son, all in last two years. I will be here awhile.” Seems Sue has taken on a new career as grandmother. Cary Smith Hart didn’t have to travel too far from home to visit her newest grandchild, Nora. “We’re excited to have a new grandbaby, Nora, in San Diego; also youngest daughter, Laura’s wedding was in August. Life is very full!” I love the name. Always makes me think of Myrna Loy and the Thin Man series she did with William Powell.

yesterday from two weeks in Mongolia. I spent a few days in Seoul going and a few in Beijing coming home. I went for the opening ceremonies of the Naadam Festival, which is their national Olympics featuring riding, archery, wrestling and knuckles (as in sheep’s knuckles). I also went to understand nomadic life in a Ger. It was truly fascinating and more. Nice to be home to the creature comforts of a smart phone and indoor plumbing.” Linda, I think you need to give a full-blown presentation on this trip the next time we’re all together!

Linda continued to write that “my daughter had preemie twins in November and it was iffy for a few months. They are chunk-a-munk(s) now and seem to be doing just fine at home.... modern medicine can be terrific!”

Sadly modern medicine wasn’t good enough in the case of Linda’s husband, Dave. After a long and weary battle with cancer, Dave passed away last December. I had the good fortune to see Dave from time to time over the years. He and Linda enjoyed a wonderful partnership and so I know his loss has created a great void in her life. Happily for Linda, their son, Brad, his wife and toddler, live nearby and Brad is helping manage the family real estate business in CA. Last spring I attended a memorial service for Penny Pettit Kreinberg’s father, who passed away in his 90s, having had a full and active life. Penny and I had the chance to do some much needed catching up at the reception afterward, where I got to see her husband Bob again and meet their daughter, Sarah, for the first time. Penny and Bob’s other daughter was there, too, with her beautiful daughters, so I got to hang out with three generations of Pettit-Kreinbergs! Except for a few wrinkles and being reformed smokers nothing much has changed about us. Sitting and gabbing as we once did at MFS came so easily. Too bad for me that Penny and Bob live in Portland, OR. In fact, I can say that about most of you. You live too far away.

Speaking of grandchildren, my grandson Jasper (age 10) son of Elizabeth Hare ’88 and husband Todd Drake, spent two weeks with me in late June. For the second year in a row, he enjoyed attending a summer camp session

I see Mea “Liz” Aall Kaemmerlen for lunch every now and then. However, I haven’t recently. I know that she likes to travel as well and spends more and more time at her condominium (yes, another “C” word) on the Chesapeake. Linda Conroy Vaughn did NOT travel to a place that has a “C” in it, although it might sound to some as if it does begin with a “C” as in Seoul. She wrote “I have had a ‘wild adventure’ this summer. I just returned

Class Notes

We will spend some time here in Portland, and then the women will head down to Ashland, OR, and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival to visit that lovely part of the state and to see some plays. AJ and I are getting married in early October. We will celebrate in January (when I turn 70) with a cruise around New Zealand. Thanks to those of you who wrote, and I hope to hear from you soon.

Jasper, grandson of Barbara Rose ’64 riding the waves at the Jersey shore at PDS, taking full advantage of all the wonderful facilities this amazing school provides. Carlos Cara, a PDS teacher and coach since the days when Elizabeth and Hobie went to PDS, was Jasper’s mountain bike coach this year! Jasper returned a couple of weeks later to attend a Red Bull’s Soccer Camp at Peddie School and we had the opportunity to spend a lovely day on the beach at the Jersey shore. Pam Sidford ’63 and her husband Leonard Schaeffer are once again hosting a family reunion. It will take place in October on Kiawah Island in SC. (Some of you may recall our MFS 40th class reunion on Kiawah.) I think there will be 44 of us this year. Included in the family event will be Sandy Sidford Cornelius (’61), her husband, two daughters and assorted grandchildren. Holly Sidford (PDS ’68), her husband and daughter will also be there. It promises to be a wonderful weekend during one of the best months of the year on Kiawah. I’m looking forward to hearing from more of you in the coming months. In the meantime, be well and have fun!

Does anyone recognize these two guys? If not, I will tell you they are Allan Forsyth and Bob Piper. As Allan put it with his dry humor, Bob is the hairy one. The photo was taken at Allan’s summer home in Booth Bay Harbor, ME, presumably by his bride, Susan. I didn’t ask him whether the green thumb in evidence was his or Susan’s, but clearly it is a beautiful spot. Thanks, Allan, for the picture.

Allan Forsyth ’46 and Bob Piper ’46 I have not been in touch with Bob directly, but learned from Allan, he (Bob) was so influenced being brought up next door to the now defunct Nassau Airpark off of Rt. 1 that he got the flying bug, became a pilot, studied aero-engineering at MIT and had a career in aerospace. Perhaps one day Bob will expand on this for us as well as other interesting aspects of his life. He did report that Pete Lindberg, who he used to see in the Berkeley area of CA, died a few years ago. However, brother Sam Lindberg PCD ’47 (?), retired from the printing business, and is currently living in Essex, CT. I have relatives that live in that neck of the woods and will try to contact him when next there. Sadly, David Erdman lost two sisters-in-law recently: Barbara, wife of Michael PCD ’50, and JOURNAL

Joyce, wife of Charlie PCD ’38. Also, sadly, the wonderful Erdman compound on Edgartown harbor in Edgartown, MA, gained new ownership this summer. I cut my cruising teeth with Charlie and David too many years ago, helping bring their yawl, Quinta, from Atlantic Highlands, NJ to Edgartown for the summer on a couple of occasions and spent some time at the compound, which was my introduction to the beautiful island of Martha’s Vineyard, which I continue to enjoy every summer.

Sad news. Our classmate, Peter Rossmassler, lost his wife Frances, who passed away March 18, 2015. She was the ever-welcoming hostess to visiting classmates (including your scribe) and orchestrated delightful dinner parties during PCD alumni reunions. Peter and Frances were married in 1962 and moved from New York to Princeton in 1965 and to Newtown, PA in 2009. During the summers they migrated to Grindstone Island (in the Thousand Islands) where the Rossmassler family has summered since 1895. Frances was very active in the PDS Parents’ Association and served on the board for Camp Kieve for boys in Damariscotta, ME for twelve years.

After a critical health experience with complications (sepsis) of laparoscopic gall bladder surgery in October 2014, your scribe David Rogers has made a good recovery. I followed the advice of friends (and my PCP) to “get the damn thing out – the operation is a cinch,” forgetting that the experienced advice givers were all much younger so recovered quickly. Released from rehab in February, Louisa and I had a much-needed Florida vacation in May and just returned from a week in the Berkshires. While in a museum there, I learned that Andy Warhol died young of complications from gall bladder surgery.

I am sad to report that Stu Robson died two years ago. We did not receive the news until recently when Bob Smyth visited his home and met his daughter, Stacey. Stu did not want any kind of official remembrance, but Stacey felt that it would be nice to contribute something to the Journal, which Bob and Jerry Gildar, who had remained in touch with Stu, wrote. Sadly, we learned Jerry passed away shortly after he submitted his comments—please send me your remembrances of Stu and Jerry for the spring Journal. From Bob:

“I first met Stu Robson in the fall of 1951. We were both incoming First Formers (4th grade) at Princeton Country Day School (PCD). Both of our fathers were masters at PCD; Stu’s dad taught math and science, mine taught French.

“‘Stuie,’ as some of us called him, was a quiet, unassuming, genuine guy with a good sense of humor. We played basketball for Stu’s dad, the coach, but that relationship never seemed to bother Stu. The two of us lived near PCD and one another; we often hung out after school but after the Robsons got a swimming pool, we didn’t go to my house much anymore. Stu was very generous and invited not only PCD kids to the pool, but also kids in both our neighborhoods. “Stu and I went to Princeton High School, but moved in different circles. We both attended Rutgers but rarely saw each other. Except for exchanging Christmas cards, we had little contact until 2003, the year my mom died. I was selling her house and needed an appraisal.

It’s hard to believe that PDS is about to turn 50. Since we were the first PDS graduating class, I wrote our classmates for their memories of our senior year 1965-1966 at the newly merged Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Country Day School. I got many responses, and hope I can do justice to what you all wrote. The class of ’66 came into PDS with some emotional baggage that still lingers to this day. JOURNAL

PDS, Class of ’66 For starters, we wanted to graduate from MFS, which wasn’t going to happen, and then the beautiful old building we called school/home was demolished as soon we finished our junior year, which intensified our grief. Two days before the school was crushed, a small group of us actually broke into the building, through the gym, to have our last private moments with MFS, intent on taking a few mementos from the school for historical purposes. (Don’t ask. What happens at MFS stays in MFS) Entering after midnight, with our flashlights on low, and at least one bottle of champagne in tow, we spent a very happy last three hours with MFS. It was our way of saying goodbye. Early the next morning, as we left the building, the Princeton Police had some questions for us. Then the tumultuous negotiations of the merger, which we had lived with during our junior year, left us with uncomfortable and angry feelings. Our sadness at the loss of our beloved Miss Fine’s, with each of her nooks and crannies that made us feel we were at home, made our new school seem cold and distant. We had been an intimately knit community of teenage girls, heavily influenced by Miss Davis and our all-female group of teachers (except for Dean Gordon), that created a level of safety, both emotional and intellectual. We were taught to ask questions, be ourselves, and develop our imagination without the judgment of men, young or old, that might have intimidated our curiosity. We would miss Miss Fine’s.

we discovered made good chairs, the new hockey fields and the cool and huge cafeteria.

Despite the faculty culture clash (thanks KB) and change of Headmasters that year, we were incredibly lucky to inherit, as Katherine Becker wrote, “the student empathic and compassionate” Herbert McAneny (Mr. Mac), a teacher who understood the needs of all students, the child’s world of all ages—a rare man.” Then we also adopted historian Wes McCaughan, and other PCD teachers. whom we came to love. We had the opportunity to experience the new teachers that Headmaster Hartmann had hired, George Warren and George Packard, who our class would call, “The Two Amazing Georges.” As Susan Bonthron wrote, “They actually required us to think rather than regurgitate. George Warren was one of the very best teachers that I’ve had in my life and I so treasured him years later when I realized that teachers like him were rare indeed. George Packard was in that group, too. This was the year my brain

And yet, after the initial confusion of learning where everything was in the new school, and who everyone was, the class of ’66 integrated themselves into the new school regime. As intellectuals, we loved the new lockers, which

woke up; loved art class and theater, hated gym and hockey.” Patience Morgan-Irogoyen wrote about how “George Warren raised our consciousness about class warfare and how privileged we were. We had learned about service to others at MFS, but as function of charity, not parity.” Patty also recalls “George

Katherine Becker remembered: “The sun on our faces in the Senior Courtyard. The smell of formaldehyde while we dissected frogs for weeks during biology lab with Mrs. Schleyer. I remember the captain’s chairs on which we sat in the dining hall, quite a change from the chairs we had in the windowless basement MFS cafeteria. And how about the carrels in the upper story of the library, which was a ‘senior privilege?’ A big change from our tiny MFS library. And wall to wall carpeting everywhere? Who knew that it was a cheaper way to maintain a floor than having the whole school washed and buffed every night? How about being able to sign out during study hall and drive into town and back within an hour? I remember the same old horrible gym uniforms and that it was a long and sometimes muddy walk to the playing fields. And sometimes on windy days when we were in George’s English class, we could hear the pingping-ping sound of the ropes slapping against the metal flag pole in front of the school.” Sometimes it’s the little things we remember best. Thanks to all of you who shared your memories of our first and last year at PDS.

Other News: Susan Bonthron became a firsttime grandmother on August 5, her daughter Caitlin bringing son, Wyatt Bud Croyer. Don’t know if Anna, Caitlin’s sister, now a second year med student, made it to the delivery room. Caitlin wanted her there. Katherine Becker and Peshe Cantor MFS ’65 had a July reunion in Princeton—they hadn’t seen one another for over 40 years. They had a great time driving all over town: touring the PDS campus, Marquand Park, Mercer Road, (where Barbara and Hope Rose, Molly Dorf, Peshe Cantor, Meg and John Brinster and the Hobler girls lived), the Institute for Advanced Study, and ended their day with tea in the Yankee Doodle Tap Room. Lynn Wiley Hoffman has been digging into the riches of her family tree, finding Revolutionary war relatives and visiting long lost cousins in Georgia, and learning Irish Celtic through Rosetta Stone. In her spare time, she’s also working on knitting projects, incorporating some Celtic knot work designs, and making a birth sampler for a friends’ first granddaughter. Andrea Hicks was in Nova Scotia at a meditation retreat, Sarah Jaeger traveled to Morocco, riding camels and taking in the local crafts. Sounds like we’re still pretty cool old chicks.

This is a column of milestones. We mark the 50th anniversary of PDS, the school our class entered in 1965 as juniors. We were sad to leave Miss Fine’s School and, as my mother Eleanor Fritsch wrote in a letter to junior class parents, rather “unsettled” to start out in a new modern school out in the country with new teachers and administrators.

Speaking for myself, I had adjusted pretty well by the time we graduated in 1967 to set out on my life journey, and I’m proud to have attended a school that has maintained high educational standards over the years. This year, our class marks a milestone of a different sort, with the untimely death of Jennie Borgerhoff in April. Jennie waged a courageous fight against central nervous system lymphoma for the past five years, and several PDS classmates attended her memorial service at Friends Center in Philadelphia, PA in May. Julia Lockwood, Mary Woodbridge Lott, Betsy Gilliam Brown, Marta Nussbaum Steele and I joined more Jennie Borgerhoff’s than 100 of Jennie’s photograph in the friends at the ser1967 Link vice, and Julia and I were a few of the many who spoke about her during the hour-long tribute.

In June, many of us gathered at the Princeton home of Ledlie Borgerhoff ’72 for a dinner in Jennie’s honor. Phoebe Knapp Warren flew in from Montana for the event.

Susan Fritsch Hunter wrote, “It’s difficult for me to summarize memories of a life-long friend, but I’ll always remember Jennie’s identification with the buffalo as her ‘animal spirit’ during her illness. She respected the buffalo because the animal runs into an approaching storm, rather than running away from it as other animals do. “I hope to honor her by riding headlong through life’s storms as she did, with courage and a hopeful spirit.”

Betsy Gilliam Brown wrote, “I have very fond memories of Jennie. I sometimes had coffee with her when she was in Princeton during the last three to four years of her life. Those were very happy times — she was so kind, so friendly and so interested in other people and in life. I always left her company with renewed faith. The Quakers sometimes talk about the ‘Inner Light’ and whatever it is, Jennie surely had it. I’m very grateful that I knew her.”

And of course, one of the benefits of being seniors that year was being the “oldest” cool chicks on campus, who would unknowingly “snow” many of the male students in the younger classes. We had no idea we were so powerful.

Packard’s first writing assignment, ‘The Woodchuck in the Road,’ I had NO idea what to write or what he meant.” And then there were memories of out of classroom experiences: Patty remembered, “Thomas directing traffic with white gloves and his gentlemanly demeanor, long walks on the property, Andrea’s mustang, spending time at Mary Carol’s beach house right before our graduation, my orange wood bead necklace breaking on stage at Commencement, the Vietnam war, and smoking Pall Malls.”

Phoebe Knapp Warren wrote: “‘Jane, Jane, acrimonious pain . . . ‘So began the little schoolyard ditty, which must have popped up in junior high. I have so many memories: Princeton faculty housing, Broadmead, Jefferson Road. Then later in Montana, Jane visited the Grapevine Ranch in the late 1970s with a nice Englishman from Oxford. One day we all dressed up, Jane and I in pioneer sunbonnets, the Englishman in a cowboy hat, and my mother took our picture. “When Jane was ill, she told me about her buffalo spirit persona and felt it helped her to prepare for what was ahead. ‘Buffalo run into a storm, not away from it,’ she explained. I had this crazy kid buffalo hat from Yellowstone National Park, all furry with horns and eyes, and I sent it to her. (I have a voicemail on my phone from last year that describes her reaction.) Apparently, she got quite a kick out of it and wore it around! “Jane was a person who was full of grace and courage to boot. She was one of the warmest, gentlest and giving of people, with a hilarious sense of the absurd. Her scholarship was impeccable and her quick wit always at the ready. It was the twinkle in her eye though and her sense of fun which were the best.” FALL 2015

In other news, Phoebe exhibited her sculpture “The Beastie Boys” at the Collective Design Fair in May in New York City as part of the LMD (Lukas Machnik Design) Studio booth. Phoebe Knapp, as she is known in the art world, cast the chain-saw wood sculpture in bronze. The sculpture is actually four sculptures, and “put together, the bent pillared figures look like some ancient wood quarterback huddle,” according to an online interview on the StyleZeitgeist website. “The Beastie The Beastie Boys, Boys” was expected to a sculpture by travel to Paris in June Phoebe Knapp as part of a gallery Warren ’67 show. Francoise Foassier wrote from one of her adventurous summer vacations, “I’m in Corsica getting up at 6 a.m. to do some walking in the gorgeous mountain and sea landscapes before it’s much, much too hot to do anything at all. The bathing here is out of this world and there aren’t many people.” Pam Erickson MacConnell shared her memories of the first day at Princeton Day School. “The first day—excitement and awe because of the lockers! The amazement of seeing males in the school, and they looked so nice with their ties and blazers.” Pam shared memories of Jennie. “The thing I remember most about Jennie Borgerhoff was her wonderful laugh and how often she laughed over funny and ridiculous stuff. She was one of the most kind-hearted people I have ever known, even after all these years.”

The class sends its sympathy to Jennie Borgerhoff ’s children, Corey and Arthur Borgerhoff, and to her sisters, Beth BorgerhoffPomerleau ’69 and Ledlie Borgerhoff ’73.

Gillian Gordon Crozier shared her thoughts about the first day of school, September 17, 1965, “I remember thinking how slick and glamorous it felt. . . like a perfect sit-com of the perfect school! But the best part was the THEATRE!!! I was blown away. It was a REAL theatre with an intricate backstage and graded seating—just like the real thing. It was beautiful and I knew I was in the right place.” Andy Fishman’s impressions were: “Overwhelmed my first day. Great new buildings and campus after one horrible year at JOURNAL

the old PCD campus. Overjoyed by the presence of girls at the new school. Because I had separated my shoulder the week before school started at football practice and was wearing a sling. I felt I had made lots of new friends the first few days. With my sling, I probably stuck out and captured the sympathy factor. Very disappointed to find that most of our classes were same sex and we were initially segregated from each other. I thought it was initially to protect the girls from the boys. But in hindsight, they were much smarter and probably didn’t want us holding them back! Happy with the thought of being the senior males on campus for the next three years. There were no males in the new junior or senior classes. It was great to be part of PDS.” Andy also had some exciting news to report: “My daughter, Megan, had a baby girl, Ella Jane, six months ago, my first grandchild. She is now back at work as head of P.R. at Counterpoint Publishing. In early August, I will head to Florida to see my 98-year-old dad, and 9l-year-old mother. They are still living in the house they retired to when Dad turned 65. Seems odd now being 65 myself and newly retired.” Andy—Congrats on joining the world of grandparenthood.

Lisa Lawrence’s first reflections as a 10th grader were: “I have to say that my first impressions of being inside such a strikingly new and more modern building were off putting for me. The old worn wood of Miss Fine’s School building had warmth and palpable evidence of history. The imprint of years of human footsteps seemed to offer more authenticity to traditional studies and offered a bridge between the present and times past. I was concerned that the newly former PDS, in its cold corridors and many panes of glass, would be so progressive in character as to divorce itself from the elegance and wisdom that had thrived in less edgy environments. I actually sensed an immediate displacement of the familiar and classic moral compass that had led to the founding of so many earlier penetrating celebrations and rules. I did feel loss. I wanted to feel happy for the birth of a new journey in a new context, but I felt sad instead.”

Sicily was beach, golf and some sights. Florence was just perfect and hot, and managed to take a private tour of the Uffizi and the Vasari Corridor, which is now filled with

Venice was shimmering in the sun and heat and we spent a day on the water touring the north end of the lagoon and most of the afternoon by the pool sipping Aperol Spritzes. We had great fun reuniting with Roberto S, the former boat captain who is now the head concierge. He may be most famous for his friendship with George Clooney and his presence in many of their wedding photos!” My news is that I am now a grandmother of four boys. Most recent addition was Colin Jay “CJ” Nierenburg in July. My youngest son, David, is engaged to be married to Natasha Shylo in 2016. Whee. Gail Smith Cleare sent photos of her grandchildren:

“Wyatt Riley Cleare, arrived in June—a son for Matt and Ashley (and little brother for Zoey, who is 3). We call him WyeGuy or Wyatt Burp. Very jolly little person.”

Rick Ross had these comments about the new PDS: “Sally Lane, Sarah Jaeger and Debbie Hobler (all class of 1966) who took us under their wings, showed us the ropes, filled in much of our social education and were all-around good eggs.

Gail Smith Cleare’s grandson Wyatt Riley Cleare and three-year-old granddaughter Zoey Cleare Rosette (Posey) Gault sent a press release about her work, unfortunately too long to reprint here; a portion is below:

…has been awarded Ph.D. by Existing Exhibited and Published Works by the faculty and researchers at the National Centre for Glass and Ceramics Art and Design of University of Sunderland in UK. Formal recognition for her work entitled “Innovation in Paperclay Ceramic Arts” spanning over 35 years occurred in July 2014.

Gault’s methods and process involved a specific set of mixtures of recycled or virgin paper pulp with traditional clays. Among technical advantages in ceramics are wet to dry assembly, patch of cracks, and savings of time/labor/fuel/ materials.

In addition to her art practice, she has published research on ways to bring down costs of clay pot water filtration manufacture and use in developing regions with paperclay. Benefit outside the field of art extends to research ahead in applied integrated design in medicine, environmental and sustainable materials science, cultural artifact restoration and refractories. In 1978 she earned a M.F.A in Ceramic Arts at the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, WA 1978 and BA in Communication at University of Colorado, Boulder.

Her most recent major work in Seattle was an installation featuring more than 50 porcelain figures in Nordstrom Seattle Flagship downtown window 2012.

Joan Williams sent the following news last spring, but unfortunately after the deadline for the spring Journal: “I am still truckin’ after 35 years as a law professor and 15 years of running the Center for WorkLife Law, still working on issues related to gender and work, still married to my starter husband. Our daughter, Rachel, is graduating from law school this year, and our son, Nick, is a battery engineer in Silicon Valley.” Brita Light reminisced about having Mrs. Roberts for Bible class and the map incident that I think all of us who were there at the time can remember… I didn’t remember, however, that classmates of mine were responsible for the uproar. I had assumed it was some of the boys from the class of 1968 or 1969! She also recalls “quite clearly that most of my first year at PDS was spent swooning over Huson Gregory!”

Brita continued that “the extended Light family has lost a few beloved members in the past few years, first our father, in May ’13, then our mother in Sept. ’13, then our Aunt Rose Nussbaum in June ’14. The last of the ‘elder’ generation has departed which, I suppose, means that my five siblings and I are now ‘elders.’ Needless to say, it was a very sad year for all of us and we feel lucky to have our beloved stepmother, Lucy James ’59 as an integral part of our family.

“The Maine contingent of the Light family experienced the happy occasion of being present for my daughter, Jenna’s marriage to a truly wonderful man, Ethan Yankura. The wedding took place outdoors on a gorgeous fall day, October 10, 2014. Derry ’69 came from Princeton, Holly and Lori from CA, and Lucy from NY. A loving and excited contingent of friends and family (including my two sons, Grayson and Carlo, and my stepson, Gus) gathered to make it a perfect day and it was the best possible way to celebrate the end of a long and challenging year. Lucy, Holly, Lori and Derry stayed for a long weekend of hiking, apple picking and a serious lobster feed! “I am sorry to have missed our 45th reunion but will be sure to make it to the 50th. GAD —can 1970 really have been that long ago? Well, I guess the old adage is true: Time flies whether you’re having fun or not, so you might as well have fun!”

She drove the bookmobile in Madison WI for decades; she is now retired. About five years ago we moved from the north side of Madison to the edge of the country side­— smaller house but mid-century contemporary, half acre with a hundred acre view, horse farm across the street. We like it. Never had children, nor did Cathy. We have a little Schipperke dog, so one of my things is hiking around the parks with the dog. For years I was big on trout fishing and made lots of trips out west. Even moved out there for a while but didn’t like the work scene and came back. Now that I’ve got the time to fish, I seem to have lost the drive and haven’t done much. My sister lives in Sonoma CA. We’re not close.

It’s funny when I signed up for Classmates.com I had a bunch of hits (visits} from folks I don’t remember. Clueless. Maybe from younger classes?” Meg continued: “We had a delightful time at our reunion and missed all of those that couldn’t attend. Let’s hope for a big turnout in five years!

“On a more personal note, I began painting in earnest post-divorce and have been fortunate to have enjoyed some success over the last few years.

Wendy and Tom continue to love full-time life in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.

Janet Masterton wrote about her memory of wearing tie shoes when we began at PDS in the eighth grade: “We were starting our eighth grade in a new school. Everyone was very cool and very hip. PDS informed us that we must wear tie shoes to school…. Something about

Center and we each found our tie shoes. They were shiny black ‘slip ons’ with ornamental ties, that had absolutely nothing to do with good foot support. And I think that the shoes were actually plastic. HOWEVER, they were NOT tie shoes and just sort of passed as not so cool loafers, yet still conforming to our new school requirement. We did it, we were cool. The first day of school, everyone was checking out our classmate’s shoes; the prevalent and wining style were the tie Weejuns. They were OK, though Nicki and I thought that we were still much cooler.

“The weeks went by and the new school was not so new and it just felt more like a comfortable old shoe. Our not so shiny black plastic tie shoes were feeling old as well and we longed to wear our very cool loafers and so a group of us did just that. We wore our very cool loafers for about a week, until one morning in home room, a teacher put her foot down. It was announced that anyone not wearing tie shoes, should march directly to Doug McClure’s office. A rather large group of students stepped up in our very cool loafers and we dragged our feet down the hall, to stand up and defend our position, feet first.

“For the record, that was the only time I ever received detention, however it never affected my ‘sole.’

“And I currently do not own a pair of very cool loafers!”

At the 1970 reunion, Janet Masterton (R) teased Meg Brinster Michael about her bell bottoms

“We lost our footing and had to toe the line; we were given Saturday morning detention 9:00 to Noon … REALLY, over tie shoes… detention? Saturday arrived and there we were, all standing in a line in front of PDS and all wearing our very cool loafers. There was a choice, either to rake leaves or wash windows. I chose raking leaves; my very cool loafers got muddy and well, I guess that I did get my feet wet.

“I do not remember exactly how long the tie shoe ordinance lasted. I think the administration flip-flopped and by that spring, we were again foot loose and wearing our very cool loafers.

Wendy Lawson-Johnston McNeil ’70 with her first granddaughter, Madeline Rose McNeil good foot support…. REALLY, this was to be an ordinance, REALLY….is this a town or city law?

“We ALL wore slip on shoes, like very cool loafers, especially Weejun loafers for sure and we were very cool. Tie shoes were not very cool! I was struggling with this dilemma and wanted to put my best foot forward. Then, my good friend, Nicki Sarett, had a brilliant idea. Off we ran to The Thom McAn shoe store located in the Princeton Shopping JOURNAL

I emailed Robbie Norman who has a place there and we made plans to meet. It was a near hit but unfortunately the winter weather caused us to be a day late and his unexpected work commitments caused him to leave early so we missed each other.

Ellen Sussman, our class’s talented novelist, has moved to Sonoma County, right in the middle of wine country, still basking in the success of her most recent novel, A Wedding in Provence. Because she and her husband live so near the noble grape, she’s planning to offer private writing classes and weekend writing workshops... interspersed with sunburnt mirth and beakers of the warm South... or rather the warm North... oh dear, I need this writing class!

Carl Reimers and Tom Reynolds ’72 schools—because of Carl’s vision, wisdom and support. Who can forget his senior seminar in the spring of 1972 where he had us debating all sorts of philosophical questions. He was brilliant, spiritual, empathic, kind, and perhaps most importantly, a joy to spend time with because of his wit and humor. He will be missed. Some of us were fortunate enough to reunite with Tom for dinner when he was in town at

“Imagine classes in the morning at my house, wine tasting at fabulous wineries in the afternoon, dinners together in the evening. Sound good?”

Some members of the class of 1972 lost a parent this year. If we missed someone please let us know so we can publish it in our next class notes. Arthur P. Morgan, father of Cici, died in January, as did James M. Hester, father of Jannie. The class sends its deepest sympathies to them and to Tom Reynolds for the passing in June of his stepfather and beloved PDS educator Carl Reimers. Carl, who moved to Princeton in 1959 with his wife Jane and her two sons, Watt and Tom, was a gift to PDS... after leaving his position as Assistant Dean of Princeton University Chapel, a chance conversation with Beverly Williams prompted him to come to PDS as chair of the Religion Department.

I was in Germany was in 1987. I was with Karin Grosz and her parents Pete & Lilian for a series of George Grosz/German Expressionist openings. We did a number of other things while staying with Karin’s cousin in the Kreuzberg section—we headed to East Berlin, going through Check-Point Charlie, visited Sachenhausen, one of the internment camps, witnessing firsthand the feel of East Berlin which, at that time, looked like the war had ended only recently as there were many unrepaired bullet and mortar holes in all buildings. Back in West Berlin, we had an up-close view of The Wall and menacing EB patrolmen in their towers. It was quite an experience and definitely another era. I trust that Hadley will have a terrific time at her program, based in the ever more vibrant Kreuzberg section—similar to NYC SoHo.

“[Husband] Paul [Nugent] is doing well and working hard as ever at Pfizer. He was amazing in that he organized a surprise birthday trip for me, and for all of us, to India last March. What a country! Vast, gorgeous, eye-opening, heartbreaking, and wonderful, too, also because we were able to visit with my oldest brother, Pepper, while there. I posted a bit about this online, which you may have seen. Back home, Paul still loves his Irish and British history books and forums on international relations. He will have no trouble staying busy in (eventual) retirement. For now, I’m asking him to get rid of at least one book already on the shelf for every book he brings into the house or that arrives in the mailbox. The book disease is wonderful or bad, and we’ve definitely got it bad.”

Cici Morgan ’72 swimming in frigid waters in Maine Your correspondent (Kenzie) visited Cici Morgan and her wonderful husband Stefan Pastuhov at their home near Camden, Maine in July. Idyllic doesn’t begin to describe it, although both Cici and Stefan work very hard—she’s a massage therapist and he is a gifted plein air artist. During our visit, Cici bravely jumped into the frigid ocean waters at Beauchamps Point in Rockport. Brava, Cici! Rumor has it that Jody Erdman, on a trip to California, played a round of golf with classmate Steve Gorman at—wait for it— Pebble Beach.

Tom passed along his heartfelt thanks “to my classmates and the others in the PDS family JOURNAL

for their gracious comments about Carl and what he meant to them. He was one of a kind, for sure, and had he not gotten the job at Princeton shortly before he married Mom, I would not be writing this now! As bittersweet as the whole thing was, it was good to see and get to hang with my dear classmates, Kenzie (and her lovely daughter!), Jody, Alex and his wife, Janet, and dear friends John Bushnell ’73, Molly Sword McDonough ’75, Ellen Fisher ’73, Daren Hicks ’73, Sandy Bing h ’87, Stu, Petie and Creigh Duncan ’76, Larry Rose ’71, Buzz Woodworth’73 and Derry Light ’69. Carl would have loved it.” I am taking my newspaper’s offer of a buyout and leaving the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette after 25 wonderful years there. This is the end of 40 years of daily journalism in Washington, DC, Connecticut and Harrisburg−presidential campaigns, royal weddings and sewer authority hearings.

When I put out the call for memories from PDS’s first day 50 years ago I must admit I sent out my request a bit late. As for my own memories, well, I had none to draw on as I did not arrive at PDS until the eighth grade. But I asked Ginna Vogt if she had any memories of those early PDS days, and she was nice enough to send the following:

“My mom was one of the four people who ran PDS for the first year. I don’t have specific memories of the very first day. However, I remember spending a lot of time at Miss Fine’s over the summer with everything all over the school in boxes. I was allowed to go into Madame Holenkoff ’s room and take anything left over that she wasn’t taking to PDS. There were all sorts of fascinating things about Madame Holenkoff—she was reportedly a member of the Russian aristocracy who had fled the mother country to Beirut and then Princeton. I heard she pretended to be unaware of her own birthdate to avoid forced retirement. At Miss Fine’s she taught French, then at PDS she taught Russian. She was always lovely to me, but I was a little scared of her, though I loved her. I ended up with a Ouija board (not sure of that spelling. What sort of school did I go to that I can’t spell?) Anyway, I had only been at Miss Fine’s for one year, but it was hard to leave it. I idealize Miss Fine’s even more than PDS. It’s hard to become disillusioned in one year. I spent a lot of time at Miss Fine’s hanging around the building when it was mostly empty waiting for my mom to be ready to leave. I loved reading a book, lying on the broad banister of the stair-

case. Sometimes I would visit Mrs. Williams’ dog in her car in the parking lot. It may seem cruel to leave a dog all day in the car, but when she said the word ‘school’ that dog was always eager to go. Or I would visit Mrs. Smith in her amazingly cool (both barometrically and in the sense of hip) basement apartment next door to Miss Fine’s. Or I would climb on the George Washington statue near the front of the building. The demolition of the physical building of Miss Fine’s was a major loss to me.

“However, the new PDS building was, of course, a terrific place of exploration. I also spent a lot of time wandering around its building on my own and I got there first. Impossible to separate now the different summers, but I think even the first summer I spent a lot of time in the new building delivering books from the bookstore to the classrooms to be distributed to the students. I’d take the books out in boxes on dollies, and at PDS I loved the smell of the new rubberized floors and the ramps, which naturally I took at full-speed riding on top of the books. I think I felt the building belonged to me that first summer, and perhaps that feeling never really left. “I remember that the opening day was delayed due to construction delays and we all were assigned to write about “Woodchuck in the Road.” Though I don’t remember anything about my own personal woodchuck, except it survived crossing the road.

“I remember a big to-do about the cornerstone, but I have no idea what was in it. “I also remember that because my mother was working so hard that first year, my dad took us all out to Buxton’s in Lawrenceville every Friday night so that she wouldn’t have to cook. “I deeply missed Miss Fine’s, but loved PDS. We had no boys in our classes that first year except music. In music all hell broke loose. I would not have wanted to be a music teacher at PDS.

“I had fabulous teachers from the very beginning and if it is fair to describe a fifth grader as flourishing intellectually, I did. I don’t mean any prowess on my part but the richness of the environment. In Geography no one stopped me from reading John Hersey’s Hiroshima for a report, though my mother had a few qualms. It is a harrowing book for an adult, but in the PDS context I was able to manage it and it is one of the greatest lessons of my life. Not sure if it was the first year, but I think it might have been— Math Club with Mr. Gilbert. We had a teletype connected to Princeton University’s computer and punched out everything in binary code.

“At PDS I would connect with my many friends, including Anne Gilliam, Carol Lifland, Helena Brett-Smith, Laura Schleyer, Liz Hutner Flemer, and eventually Andrew Bonner. For these relationships and for relationships with many teachers, I will be forever grateful.” A brief note from Anne Macleod Weeks: “Jim and I retired to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in June. We bought an historic house in the middle of town. If you have never been here,

Terry Ward reported: “My partner and I are enjoying our 15th year together. I am being feted this summer (with a number of others, I am quick to say) for my 25 years of singing in the chorus of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. I am looking forward to my fourth year as Director of College Counseling at Providence Country Day School. Rhode Island living is agreeing with me very much.

“I was saddened by the passing of Carl Reimers, a family friend, a mentor, and a great man. May he be riding a Harley in heaven.”

Roger Williams sent this short note: “I didn’t get to PDS until ’68, so no memories from me on ’66. I had a nice email exchange with Roger Sherman this Will McCabe, Nancy Kendall McCabe ’74 and week. He’s curator at the Smithsonian. Annie Williams ’74 in Santa Monica Gina and I are going to visit him when perfect days last week and filled the loft with we go to DC in October. I’ll take pix when we hay, plus extra for the farmer. A big relief to get see him.” that done.” Perhaps we will stir up a few more memories for the next issue of the Journal! Thanks all.

I’m at Northern Arizona University and run two analytical laboratories (scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe) and teach geology classes (Planetary Geology, Chemistry of the Earth, Applied Geology, Mineralogy, and introductory classes). I’ve been involved in many types of research, mostly studying volcanic rocks (basalt) from the western US, I’ve also been doing meteorite classification and research. There is something about touching/ studying pieces of asteroids, the Moon, and Mars that can’t be described! For the last ten-or-so years I’ve been part of a large group documenting a cosmic impact event (probably airbursts) that seems to be associated (caused?) the abrupt cooling of the Younger Dryas (about 13,000 years ago). This work is controversial, but we think our evidence is strong.

“On the personal front, I’ve got two ex-wives and three children (from my first marriage): Thomas, Katherine, and Rebecca. Becky graduated from the University of Arizona a year ago, and it’s now an empty nest here. Since 2008, I’ve been in a relationship with a great gal from Tempe. I’ve been very lucky over the years, and as a geologist, have been on field trips to many parts of the world (China/Tibet and South Africa were particularly great trips). I’ve also visited India, China, Nepal, England, Italy, Canada, South Africa, Costa Rica, Australia, Turkey, and Singapore), In Dharamsala, India, I, and several hundred of my best friends, had an audience with the Dalai Lama. “After 25 years at the University, I’m contemplating retirement, but there is so much more to see and learn that I suspect it will be a long time before I do retire.

A big shout-out to Bill McClellan for coordinating our 40th reunion. Our classmates responded with a great turnout under the reunion tent, undeterred by high winds and heavy rain.

Maybe there were other PDS alumni at the SXSWEDU event, but our short PDS reunion only took place in the airport as Kim Groome was flying home the same day I arrived. After Kim went back to NJ, Adria, Karen and I took in a variety of sites, BBQ and music, in addition to attending the conference, where I was gathering info on new technology and education and promoting my app for teachers and others called Teachback.”

Sue Fineman Keitelman sent the following news: “By the time this goes to press, my broken toe will have healed and I will have had my second total hip replacement surgery (both within a week of each other-ugh!). Bet I’m the first in our class to become the Bionic Woman! (I am going to need a total shoulder replacement in the future, so I definitely will be by then!). Someone told me I should get extra insurance because all that metal in my body will probably be worth something. As long as I don’t set off any metal detectors, I’m a happy camper.

“I’m still teaching in supplementary school settings and really enjoy creating curricula and educational programs. The courses I recently have created and teach connect Judaism with cooking: ‘Food for Thought; Tasting the Torah’ and ‘Dishing the Diaspora.’ In addition to teaching, a couple of years ago, a friend and I started a business called ‘Center of Attention, LLC.’ We design and make one-of-a-kind centerpieces for parties and events. You can see some of these on our Facebook page facebook. com/centerofattentionva (Feel free to like us!) I am about to be an empty ‘houser’ and an empty nester. My husband, Ed, who continues to work for ExxonMobil, had to relocate in May to Texas (for the next 2-3 years until he retires) because the company has relocated everyone in the U.S. there. Once a month he flies back to Virginia for a week to work from ‘home.’ I have stayed put in our house because three of

our children are in VA schools and we want to keep our in-state tuition status. Also I want to continue to build up my centerpiece business. Having lived in Texas for eight years, I have no desire to go back and live in the middle of the country far from my kids and family. My youngest, Matthew, just graduated high school with honors and will be attending the University of Virginia’s School of Engineering in the fall. Before beginning his freshman year at George Mason University, my son, Paul, (19) earned the rank of Eagle Scout; he will be a sophomore at Mason this fall. Becky (21) will be doing her 5th year at William & Mary to get her master’s in (special) education. My oldest, Jordan (24), is now a CPA and works in DC for the Federal Reserve as an auditor. He’s looking for a nice Jewish girl–so if anyone knows of anyone...My mother, who had been living with us, passed away from complications related to her multiple sclerosis. So after our youngest leaves for UV, I’ll be living alone in our big house. Hopefully the cat and two dogs will keep me company. If you are ever down this way (northern Virginia–20 minutes south of D.C.), please let me know: I have PLENTY of beds you can sleep in! (seriously!) “Hope you are all well and happy!”

Greg Morea and his wife Barbara “just got back from a fabulous trip to Atlantic Canada. Met the friendliest people on the planet, saw amazing 30+ foot tides on the Bay of Fundy, and had front row seats at the 2015 Nova Scotia International Tattoo in Halifax. Also, life continues well for us up here in Groton.”

Mike “Wally” Walters wrote: “Spent the summer vacationing at our home in Myrtle Beach. Riding the waves, fishing, and playing some golf with the kids was a blast. Enjoyed the time off from teaching and coaching in Tampa Florida. Parenting has become ‘interesting’ with three boys in middle school!!

Nora Cuesta Wimberg: “All is good in South Jersey. Our son, Jovan, now 16, is starting to look at colleges; we took our first campus tour. I remember when we adopted him at the orphanage in Ukraine; he was 27 months and only weighed 17 pounds. The children were all so undernourished …Now he is 5’ 8” tall and weighs 150—strong as a bull. God is good. For those of us that were blessed with children, we see them grow so quickly and leave the nest. I hope that he will have the memories that I have of travels when Dr. and Jovan Wimberg, son of Mrs. Cuesta took Nora Cuesta Wimberg us to Europe— remember?! What ’78 great trips we had and memories that will last a lifetime. My parents are looking at these Journal entries and smiling down on us as they see the years pass by and what has transpired for all of us. The paths we have taken, etc… Keep in touch through the Journal. Your stories touch ALL of us!”

the last spoonful of snow lingered on a snow farm in Boston’s Seaport District until July 14. Coincidentally, this was the same day I had a mechanic come to my house and tune up my snowblower for next winter, just in case it decides to come early. Cathy and I will be fielding offers from those of you in the Sun Belt for a spare bedroom or even a corner of a toolshed. I think I speak for all of us north of the Mason-Dixon Line when I say to winter, “No. Just, no.” Maybe this will be our year.

Laura Farina seems to be one of those people who has more hours in the day than the rest of us. In between writing a book, creating an app, and running an apparel business for dogs (www.huggyduggy.com), Laura wrote: “Living in the sauna, also known as Washington, DC, this summer, I look back fondly to the spring of 2014 and our awesome 35th reunion.

I joined the law firm of SmithDehn LLP in 2013, after a long stint at Discovery Communications, and earned a master’s degree from Georgetown in Sports Industry Management. I have been teaching in the program since the spring ’14 semester, which has been a blast!”

Cathy White Mertz had a fun time traveling with Betsy Stephens Ellsworth in July. Well, following her around on Facebook, anyway! We gather her road trip took her to Ohio; the Berkshires in Massachusetts; a bunch of places in Maine, including Ogunquit and L.L. Bean; Watch Hill, RI, where she stayed with Linda Eglin Mayer and her family; and Niagara Falls —at least!

Greetings, ’79ers. We trust your summers brought many chances to recover from the trauma of last winter. Here in Massachusetts,

Karen “Kipi” Polcer Bdera: “Started to volunteer at the organization I retired from three years ago—am ‘on call’ for help in the Finance Department (trust me—you don’t want me in the kitchen with a sharp knife—not my forte), and for help at special events that the organization produces. Glad I can give back ‘on my own schedule.’  Took a trip in February to NOLA, to spend my dad’s 78th birthday with almost the entire clan. In March, had a four-day weekend mini-reunion in Maine (yes, it was done snowing by then) with three of my Ethel Walker classmates—it truly is amazing how time melts away (and how much wine four people can consume). That was followed by the annual March trip to Aruba with my amazing husband Nick. In May, my grandfather passed away, at the ripe old age of 101.5—hope I can live up to that legacy. I continue my volunteering and fundraising for the Avon 39 The Walk to End Breast Cancer. And I am off to San Francisco for a week to visit with my aunt and uncle in a few weeks. All is well here in New York City—hope to see some fellow classmates in the near future.”

Speaking of Linda, Cathy’s son, Noah, sent the following from Paris in August: “The easiest way to locate Linda Eglin’s tucked-away apartment in Paris’s Pigalle district is to find Buvette, Linda’s restaurant, which occupies the ground floor. The entire storefront opens onto the street, tempting passersby to stop in to enjoy the cozy ambiance, a Pimm’s Cup with freshly muddled fruit, and a waffle sandwich with egg, bacon, cheese, and maple syrup. Three flights up the centuries-old building takes you to the Eglin-Mayer abode, a collection of five joined units in the top three stories. Tall Parisian windows let in the summer light and open onto the street humming with summer activity. Linda kindly hosted me for the night, and will host my duffel bag while I’m on a five-week week journey around Europe before settling in Paris to study abroad for the semester.”

Class Notes

Shipley’s teams compete against them. I’ve not been by school in a very long time and imagine it looks quite different. There just never seems to be enough time! It also seems a little late to try to reconnect with people after so long....”

Linda Eglin Mayer ’79 and Noah Mertz (son of Cathy White Mertz ’79) met for the first time in Paris during his travels.

We sadly share the recent passing of two great teachers, mentors, and friends to the Upper School and to our class, in particular: Mr. Stephen Lawrence and Reverend “The Rev” Carl D. Reimers, Jr. We extend our condolences to each of their families and especially to our classmate, Carl Reimers, his wife Pamela and their children. FALL 2015

I always admired “Rev” Reimers. The On Death and Dying book we read junior year fascinated me, as did the accompanying field trip to the funeral home. “Rev” Reimers seemed more open-minded than the religious leader I knew from my experience with our local Methodist Church. I struck up an occasional letter-writing correspondence with “Rev” Reimers after college. Things are well in our little area of the heartland, west of Chicago. Emerson is 17, and Holden is 14. Both boys enjoy soccer, waterskiing and tennis. Mike is flying occasionally; interesting ferry jobs that expand our geographical knowledge. Djibouti is the newest country I am able to locate on a map.

Michael Sugerman sent an update: “In July, I returned from the most recent season of archaeological fieldwork at the Bronze and Iron Age site of Akko, on the north coast of Israel. I have been working with a team of colleagues and students there for five summers now, and have spent most of the last 30 years doing “The family lives in an historic 18th century archaeological research in the Middle East, house, a former Revolutionary War era inn, in and doing research and teaching in universities Long Ridge Village, North Stamford, CT, with back in the States. On the flight home last five dogs and three horses.” weekend, I was thinking about the odd path that I followed to get where I am now, and the role that Carl Reimers played in putting me on that path. Carl was the one who taught me that religion could be studied academically; that it is simply one aspect of human behavior—one of many. When I began my undergrad studies at Brown, I was in an intensive biomed track, but I was advised to select a major in the humanities so that I could be a ‘well-rounded’ Lily deJongh Downing ’81 with her husband and her med school applicant.

learn excavation methods and techniques. The trajectory that started there led me to grad school at the Institute of Archaeology at the University of London. From there I moved on to the department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at Harvard, and then to the Anthropology Department there, where I finally got my PhD in 2000. Since then I have continued my field research into the Bronze and Iron Age cultures of the eastern Mediterranean, focusing on political economy, trade, and the role of religion in the emergence of social inequality and ‘civilization.’ For most of that time I have been in the Anthropology Department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I married Elizabeth Chilton (also an archaeologist) shortly before moving out here, and our son Emmet was born just before we began our first semester of teaching at UMass. Emmet will turn 14 this summer, and it amazes me to think that he’s that old, and that we’ve been at UMass that long. If anyone is in the Amherst area, or in western Massachusetts generally, let me know. I’m easy to reach at sugerman@umass.edu.”

Suzanne Utaski Gibbs has three things she is excited to share: She recently “published a book. Conscious Curiosity: Communicating to Connect, available from Amazon. In June of this year I traveled solo to Peru to hike the Inca trail to Machu Picchu—it was an amazing trip.

I welcome guests, visitors, and of course former PDS classmates! The beautiful Lost Coast is truly a wild place and the last frontier of California. The redwood trees are astonishing.

From Mandy:

Hoping everyone had a wonderful summer. As always it is great to hear from you all. Julia Zagoria Little wrote: “I enjoy living in downtown Princeton with my husband Trevor and almost five (!)-year-old son, Collin. I am looking forward to returning to social work; joining a friend’s therapy practice in the fall part-time.”

In March my husband Dave and I welcomed an amazing little boy, Samuel David Plonsky. He is definitely bringing us much happiness and keeping us busy! We were able to introduce Sam to Janie Egan Bertelson’s three sons this summer. Had a wonderful time visiting them in New Canaan in between their many trips. Wishing you all a great fall and hope to hear from you soon.

Greetings class of 2003! I am still living in San Francisco and working for HotelTonight. For those of you traveling this fall, the company recently launched in Australia and continues to grow rapidly in Europe and Latin America. I was able to visit with family and friends on the East Coast this summer, and attended Tony Hack’s wedding in Quogue, New York, where I had the honor of being a groomslady at the ceremony! I also visited with Morgan Weed who still lives in New York City.

Emily Hamlin wrote: “I moved to Escazú, Costa Rica in late July with Kathleen and our pup, Milo. Kathleen is working as a school counselor and teaching some physics and bio as well. We’re definitely still in the adjustment period, but enjoying stretching ourselves, resuscitating our Spanish (thanks, Kelly Dun) and exploring our neighborhood. Looking forward to future updates with more adventures to report. Also, if anyone is even thinking about coming to CR on a vacation at some point in the future, you must let us pick you up from the airport and treat you to a meal. Or better yet, plan to spend a night in our guest room before heading off on your travels. We’re hoping for lots of PDS visitors!”

Ben Johnson wrote: “Hey everyone, been a busy year with lots of travel for work and fun, including a trip to Everest Base Camp back in April and then all over the states for Tough Mudder as the event season picks up momentum. I’m hoping to run the NYC Marathon in November, but have a big camping trip in September to Zion and Moab national parks that is currently taking up most of my attention. Lots of wonderful highlights, but nothing more exciting than the news that James Ramos is expecting a baby boy! Had to include that in case he is too lazy to submit an update. Still living in New York in Chelsea and have the same old contact information. Hope everyone is wonderful!” James Ramos wrote: “Tina and I are excited to announce that we are expecting a baby boy! He is due early December and we couldn’t be more excited to become parents. We celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary this year as well and Tina is turning 30 in November. 2015 is turning out to be one heck of a year!”

Rohit Jenveja wrote: “I am still enjoying life in San Francisco. Over the past year, I completed a few marathons, managed to do several trips to Europe, began creating an iPhone app, and started to relearn French.” Chris Campbell wrote: “Melissa and I have completed our move to Edwards AFB outside of Los Angeles. I have started USAF Test Pilot School, which is a year-long flying and engineering program. This is a fantastic opportunity to fly and test the latest aviation and sensor technology. It is also a rather challenging course, but also very fun. I hope to meet up with some West Coast PDS grads while we’re out here.”

Allison Marshall ’03 (Groomslady) and Tony Hack ’03 in Quogue, NY on Tony’s wedding day Katie Weber is still living in NY with her husband John Patteson ’02.

Craig Knowlton was excited to report: “Finally I have some updates for my PDS alumni friends.” He continued, “[L]ast Friday, I proposed to the most beautiful woman I ever met in my life. To my surprise she said YES!. We are going to be married in December 2016 if we can find a spare moment between work, dog walking, Netflix, and a few parties here and there.” Knowlton works at an events company called Momentum Worldwide. He wrote: “I work producing video content for some of the edgiest brands in the world including Verizon, Amex, Star Wars, 17 NFL teams, PGA, USTA, and more beer and liquor brands than you can count on your hands. It has been a wild year of travel and productions but holy … is it fun.”

Knowlton is living in Ewing to split the commute between New York City and his fiancée’s job in Philadelphia. He invites anyone in the Central Jersey area, “Feel free to hit me up!” Hannah Lemonick is also back in the area. She wrote: “I’m back in town—I’ve moved from Chicago to start a PhD in Near Eastern Studies at Princeton this fall! Hoping to see more of anyone who’s still around.”

Ellen Cook, meanwhile, moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in early August to attend Arizona State University’s full-time MBA program. She wrote, “The past four months or so have been quite eventful and I’m pretty psyched for the opportunity to go to school again and meet a lot of different people.”

Cook also provided us with an update on behalf of Jon Hofmann. Hofmann “completed his two years with Teach For America in the Mississippi Delta and moved to St. Louis in June to work for a new charter school. He lives there with his fiancée and will be getting married in St. Louis next May. I know his family and friends are very excited for both him and his future wife Angela.” Finally, John Maher has been living in Kigali, Rwanda “for the past year and some change” working for MASS Design Group, a Bostonbased firm that produces locally fabricated architecture and works extensively in Africa. Maher wrote, “I’ve been working on the health care infrastructure in East and West Africa, mostly designing hospitals. When I’m not working I’ve been enjoying traveling around the region.”

Dave Coghlan is living in Chicago and recently got engaged to Cara Maresca. They are to be married next fall in Boston. Allie Crouse moved back to Boston in June and started a new job at Education First, where she works for the only non-profit sector of the company in the high school exchange year program. There she works as a program support manager, counseling the international students attending American high schools during their year abroad. She started playing on a recreational field hockey team again with sister, Nina Crouse, and loved traveling back to Princeton in early June to be a bridesmaid at Ali Hiller Rorick’s wedding! Jenna Dodds has been living in the London for the past year and a half; she has been working at Stone Harbor Investment Partners, an investment management firm.

Maddie Ferguson is currently living in Park City, Utah. She was lucky enough that, right away, she met another traveler from Princeton, Lisa Needham, and began working with her at Park City Yoga Studio, which Lisa had opened years ago when she visited Park City for vacation and couldn’t leave (a familiar story!). Maddie has been with the studio for about a year now, and a lot has happened in that year! Thanks to PDS’ lacrosse influence, she was able to start coaching high school junior varsity girls

From left to right: Alex Lescroart ’07, Nina Crouse ’07, Natalie Rorick (sister of the groom), Ali Hiller Rorick ’07, Jenna Dodds ’07 and Allie Crouse ’07 lacrosse for Park City, leading the team to an undefeated season and overall state champions for their varsity team. Then, on April 26, the love of her life, Tim Makoid proposed while camping over Dead Horse Point in Moab, Utah. They had very dear friends with them including the infamous Jonathan Chow to help celebrate the occasion!

Ali Hiller Rorick married Ian Rorick, whom she met in college, in Princeton on June 6. Her bridal party included Jenna Dodds, Allie Crouse, Nina Crouse and Alex Lescroart. Jonathan Chow also made an appearance at the after-party at the Yankee Doodle Tap Room.

Callie Schneider reported “I’ve been doing super well. I lived in Cape Town, South Africa and really fell head-over-heals in love with the country. Hiking the Fish River Canyon in Namibia, swimming with penguins and sharks (not at the same time!), skydiving and bungee jumping, practicing my Afrikaans and English, exchanging cultures; it was all just marvelous. Thankfully the second I came home I was whisked away to start work at Target in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which has been its own kind of culture shock. I was part of D231—Breakfast and Warm Beverage (have you noticed that the family size and regular size General Mills cereal boxes are the same price at Target this week? Yeah…WHOOOPS!), and I’ve learned a lot about how to keep those Honey Nut Cheerios in stock! Anyway, I’ll be back in St. Louis in a week to start my senior year at Washington University in St. Louis! Oh how time flies! Say hi to Baxter and DKE!” Cara Hume wrote: “I am studying for the LSAT and leaving for San Fran for a music festival tomorrow. Also interesting is that I am writing my thesis about Cuba, so I get to go there. I also just tied for third place in a trout fishing tournament in Virginia. Bummer though because they only had one trophy and I had to get the magnet after I lost the coin toss. Oh well! Looking forward JOURNAL

Caitlin Dwyer wrote: “I had an awesome spring semester in Italy. It was really quite life changing. I like to think that my Italian is near fluent—some people told me that I didn’t have an accent!!! It really changed my life. I saved someone from drowning in the canals of Venice and the outpouring of thanks I got made me want to stay and work in Italy for a month after my program ended. I went to nine countries and miss it already!”

Nick Banks spent the summer working in Illinois.

Eric Powers emailed: “Wow, where to begin?? Another great six months at Boston College! I thought I’d start out by clarifying that it is, in fact ME giving these updates! When I last checked in, Boston was buried in what felt like 10 feet of snow, but that seems impossible now! I’m writing from my last day at Capital Advisors, which is bittersweet for sure! While I’m excited to head down to Edgartown for a few weeks (where I was lucky to run into several 2011 Panthers), I sure will miss my fulfilling work! This spring, I quarterbacked (literally!) my flag football team to a second consecutive league title, proving again that the PDS football will not go quietly into the night. As the only male, three-sport varsity athlete from the class of 2012 (get on my level), I feel the burden of continuing to win as many trophies as possible. In that line, I entered my first ever balloon animal contest this past June, and while I didn’t place, I sure had a good time. Speaking of disappointments, I’m sad to say that my burrito roller flopped in Boloco. We have nowhere left to go. How is everyone else doing? I feel like nobody keeps in touch anymore. Writing and reading the Journal entries is certainly a highlight of my year, it’s great to see everyone moving on and doing better than me. It’s great. It’s great… On another note, I’ve started training for a 3K fun run in November. While it’s been difficult, I’m doing my best! Hopefully my experience in The Big Race on Blue and White Day (go Blue!) will be helpful. Anyways, feel free to check in. My number’s still the same, and I’m always on Facebook looking to chat. Maybe we can reminisce about the good times, like Darn Yankees and Into the Woods and Back Again, or that time Cara’s big brother got his head stuck in the library railings. Give me a shout sometime.”

For the class of 2013, it was a busy summer. Many of our fellow young alumni pursued interesting and exciting internships.

Rachel Cantlay spent the summer in Atlanta, Georgia as a sales intern with Coca-Cola. She has enjoyed living within walking distance of the Atlanta Aquarium, which she visited daily.

If anyone is a fan of the Charlotte Hornets, you may have seen some of Ben Weiner’s work. He worked as a video production intern for the team and enjoyed the experience immensely. One member of our class spent the summer on the other side of the world in Sydney, Australia. Sophia Eisenberg says hello from the Land Down Under. When she wasn’t enjoying vegemite, she’s worked at a juvenile detention facility in Michigan where she got to apply her knowledge of psychology.

I have enjoyed reaching out to the members of the class of 2013 and if anyone wants to send me an update for the next issue of the Journal, send me an e-mail at robert.s.madani@gmail.com.

Snapshots Connecting to the Past: Balloon Day, 1980s

Back in the 1980s, Balloon Day was celebrated each spring with the Lower School students releasing balloons up into the sky while running around on the fields. The annual event eventually fell by the wayside with the realization that all those balloons may not be so good for the environment. As a newly named Green Ribbon School by U.S. Department of Education, Princeton Day School has proved itself a good steward of the earth over the years, and sustainability is at the core of our mission. Still, this snapshot from our archives brings back the memory of colorful way to welcome the spring.

We welcome additional identification, corrections, and comments. Contact us at communications@pds.org.


We’re celebrating 50 Years at PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL.

Your planned gift can ensure the next 50 years. The May Margaret Fine Society: Established in 1998, the May Margaret Fine Society recognizes those loyal alumnae/i, parents and friends who have informed the school that they have made provisions for Princeton Day School in their estate plans. Including the school in their will, establishing a charitable trust while maintaining life income, or naming the school as a life insurance beneficiary are some of the ways these individuals have helped secure the long-term strength of Princeton Day School. If you have included Princeton Day School in your estate plans or would like to learn more about including the school in your estate plans, contact Kathy Schulte, Director of Advancement, at 609-924-6700 ext. 1255 or kschulte@pds.org.
