SPRING 1984, VOL 6, NO. 2 ISSUED TWO TIMES A YEAR

From the Headmaster Practically every St. Andrean knows Bill and Cathy Amos. After all, they came to us back in 1947 and have watched 37 of St. Andrew's 51 Sixth Forms receive their diplomas. For this reason alone, their retirement in June is a milestone of sorts for all of us.

I imagine those alumni who read this letter will already have paused for a moment as images of Bill and Cathy come into focus. What a marvelous collage of scenes must be recorded in your minds.

Each of you will be remembering Bill and Cathy at different ages and in myriad settings. There is Bill, age 32, kicking a soccer ball. There he is, bent over the shallow waters of Noxontown Pond at age 45, examining some creature snatched from the mud. There is Cathy, a young bride still, caught in full stride and full voice as she moves from kitchen to dining room loaded down with cookies for a bunch of Bill's advisees. There she is, the mother of five grown children, passionately defending the rights of animals in front of a group of present-day students. And, of course, in many different postures and

with varying amounts of gray in his hair, there is Bill in the old and the new biology lab, talking with you—alumni of all ages, but young again—about his second love in life—biology. How I wish we could record on film all these images in your minds, for they would represent a record of professional and personal achievement seldom matched in the field of education.

Teachers don't like to think of their students as "products," nor do we like to talk in terms of "molding" those we teach. I think most of us prefer to think that we are accompanying our students on voyages of self-discovery, raising questions, sharing experiences, acting as interpreters and, perhaps, lobbying for the voyage itself, assuring our students that it will be enriched in direct proportion to the amount of energy, enthusiasm, compassion, curiosity, understanding and knowledge we acquire along the way. In this sense, Bill is a master teacher. No student of his can escape recognizing that the qualities just mentioned are as much a part of Bill as the sinew and bone which propel him in search of small, living creatures everywhere.

Bill and Cathy will be living in Lyndonville, Vermont, where they own a home.

They already have enough publishers' deadlines to keep them busy for the next few years. One of these is for St. Andrew's; Bill will be writing a sequel to Waldy Pell's History of St. Andrew's.

Those who know Bill and Cathy have no fear that either will find time dragging.

Each of us will have our own reasons for missing Bill and Cathy. Personally, I will most miss the private sessions I have with Bill from time to time. During any year, headmasters must wrestle with some difficult issues. Bill is one to whom I turn for advice and counsel when particularly thorny ones arise. Invariably his responses are candid, sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Invariably he seeks what is best for both the School and the individuals involved. I will miss these moments when the two of us have struggled together.

I would rather not catalogue Bill's and Cathy's many achievements and the positions of responsibility they have held during their 37 years at St. Andrew's.

Titles are dry, dusty things which really don't mean all that much. Instead I will close by simply stating that we will miss these two warm, loyal friends and neighbors. They mean a great deal to St. Andrew's School and to all who know them. While I rejoice that so many generations of St. Andreans knew them as companions during the early stages of their voyages, I am sorry that those yet to come will not have their wise and gentle guidance.

Ten Years of Coeducation: A Time to Reflect

In this St. Andrew's School's eleventh year of coeducation, Headmaster Jon O'Brien created a committee to study the strengths and weaknesses of a St. Andrew's education for women. As part of the study, we have mailed questionnaires to female students in the School's first coeducational class and to recent alumnae of the classes of 1980 through 1983. In addition, the committee is examining all aspects of a woman's experience at the School: the curriculum, the athletic program, the arts program, dormitory life and the overall tone of both students and faculty members. The challenges and crucial issues of the concept of coeducation have been especially highlighted by exciting research taking place at the Emma Willard School where a group of teachers and researchers from the Harvard Graduate School of Education are working on a comprehensive study of the education of women in secondary schools. Carol Gilligan, associate professor of education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, has completed a study described in her recent book In A Different Voice that argues that boys and girls tend to approach problems and relationships from very different perspectives: boys are more concerned with issues of autonomy, rights, competition and justice; girls concentrate on relationships, communication and coping. Too often, Gilligan finds, the male perspective is heard, recognized, applauded and even demanded in our schools and families while the girls' response is received as weak, naive and insignificant. A brief excerpt from Gilligan's book reveals the brilliant and challenging perspective she has opened for educators.

"Women's deference is rooted not only in their social subordination but also in the substance of their moral concern. Sensitivity to the needs of others and the assumption of responsibility for taking care lead women to attend to voices other than their own and to include in their judgments other points of view. Women's moral weakness, manifest in apparent diffusion and confusion of judgment, is thus inseparable from women's moral strength, an overriding concern with relationships and responsibilities. The reluctance to judge may itself be indicative of the care and concern for others that infuse the psychology of women's development..."

Gilligan's work raises important questions for coeducational schools such as St. Andrew's.

Are we creating and ensuring an environment that encourages self-confidence and creative achievement for all our students, female and male? Are we careful to identify and support the two voices Gilligan identifies as characteristic of females and males respectively? How can we attempt to encourage the best of both perspectives in our environment? What kinds of careful curricular changes may be particularly helpful in developing these perspectives? As I write, our study is only beginning—in fact, two of our faculty members attended a conference on the topics of Female Adolescent Development at Emma Willard School in late April. This article is an attempt to state the initial observations and conclusions we have made so far.

Through questionnaires mailed to female alumnae, a picture has emerged about the state of coeducation at St. Andrew's that is most encouraging. Without exception, the eight women in the class of 1975 praised the School's adjustment to the new challenges posed by coeducation.

They write of their years as times of great adventure, challenges and growth: "It wasn't hard; there was a sense of having to prove oneself as a woman to those one suspected were skeptical, but I think that experience is true for women everywhere." ... "I wish all my adjustments were that easy. There was a certain sense of fun, excitement and adventure in our first years." But interesting, too, are the gentle criticisms of young women who did at times meet with a school that was not quite sure if women were absolutely welcome: "It was confusing to me—one felt wanted and not wanted, enjoyed and despised..." "It was hard at times; I was one of only two girls in several classes...'

Of course, time has removed most of those drawbacks our first women's class identified; classes are now truly coeducational; women faculty members (essential role models for adolescent girls) now number 17 instead of only three; our women's athletic program, once limited by numbers to field hockey, gymnastics and crew, has grown steadily and today is as strong and varied a program as any in the State; and in the past three years, our student head of government has twice been a woman.

Early responses from alumnae now in college have been impressively positive. Three examples are typical: "In my four years at St. Andrew's, there was an ever increasing effort to establish equality among men and women, an effort which I feel resulted in positive change. There is an abundant supply of support and energy from the faculty encouraging learning and experimentation. There is an overwhelming attitude that anyone can achieve."

'7 enjoyed my femininity and the attention and respect I gained from it. I enjoyed the fact that I could compete on a worthwhile academic level without inhibition. And I was never hampered by any derogatory or offensive remarks that attacked my feminism or made me feel as if I had to defend myself."

How hard was it to be a pioneer, i.e., the first women at SAS? • I wish everything were as easy; without a doubt the most challenging, enjoyable and formative period of my formal education.

• It was not particularly difficult; a few people (faculty and students) were irritating in their negative attitudes.

• It was easier for me than some of the other girls as I had a brother here and was accepted by his friends.

• Whatever problems we encountered were balanced by the sheer fun and excitement of the whole endeavor. We were proud of what we were adding to SAS. • It was hard because sometimes there were only one or two girls in my classes.

• It was not hard at all; after the first few weeks, the newness had worn off and we were treated like one of the guys.

• I don't remember feeling we had more problems either socially or academically than male students, though certainly we were scrutinized.

• It was wonderful. I still like trying something new and everything was new then.

• It was not hard. I felt we encountered some "prejudice" from some faculty at first, but overall, I found it exciting.

• I found it confusing; I felt wanted and not wanted. Being first invovles helping set ground rules which is not always enjoyable. I both enjoyed and despised the experience depending on what was happening that specific week.

• I appreciated the opportunity to learn and grow at SAS; I have no regrets or negative experiences.

• It was not hard except for some slight peer pressure.

• It wasn't hard. I had the sense of having to prove oneself as a woman to people one suspected were skeptical, but that is true of women everywhere.

- Classes of 1975, 1976, 1977

"At St. Andrew's I was challenged and pressured as was every other student. If my sex affected my status, I am as unaware of it now as I was then. As a woman looking back on my two years at St. Andrew's, I wouldn't have changed a thing. St. Andrew's is happily able to educate both boys and girls while meeting their respective needs."

Our committee's goals for the next year are to build on the strengths of St. Andrew's first eleven years of coeducation. We aspire to ensure that our curriculum, environment and athletic program meet all our student's changing needs and expectations. And, since our goals are so lofty, we welcome comments and advice from all members of the St. Andrew's family.

LOUISE DEWAR-MORTON When I graduated from college, I very much wanted to become a working actress —not a star— just working. I spent a very long time preparing and working to that end. At St. Andrew's and at Trinity College, I was a big fish in a very small pond.

As a result, it was rather devastating to come to the realization later that I was not going to be successful in the theatre. Perhaps the most difficult decision I've had to make since St. Andrew's was to put that part of my life aside. Dreams die hard.

Making the decision a little easier, though, were two things. I began to work with the fund raising side of nonprofit theatre, and later of arts in general, and I met my husband. Marrying Al was the easiest decision I've made. In an ironic twist, though, it also created the most trying period of my life to date.

When I got married, I moved out of NYC to the suburbs of New Jersey. Expecting to be able to get a job quickly, I had resigned from Theatre Communications Group. It took me two years to get another job. I even commuted back to the city to work free lance for an arts organization—just to be able to work.

I spent almost two years as a full-time housewife (and some of my classmates who have good memories may consider it poetic justice). If I could share the benefits of any of my experiences with the girls of St. Andrew's today, it would be this: there is very little place for the young housewife without children today. The days of afternoon bridge and garden clubs died a quiet death as most women went back to work. It's a boring way to live, and it's lonely. And there is little tolerance for the young married woman who doesn't work—especially from her own peer group. The lesson? Always have a career, a job, an activity, anything, in reserve for yourself.

Luckily, I can now end this little essay on a bright note. After two years, I've finally gotten a job, and in my old field at that. I'm working as the research assistant in the development office of a small private college in Monmouth County. I hope someday to return to working with the arts, but, for now at least, I can apply my fund raising research skills to education— a pretty decent second choice.

GINNY ELIASON I think that probably all periods in life are pretty trying, but adolescence was definitely more miserable! I feel as though I've changed immeasurably although in other ways probably not at all. After discovering during an unhappy first year at a midwestern college that I had absolutely no idea what I was doing in school, I took a year off and moved to the mountains in the north country where I've been ever since.

When I went back to UNH to study botany (a new interest—I didn't take any science at SAS, something I lament when I think of zoology with Mr. Amos, and so on), I continued with crew long enough to cox a winning boat in the women's nationals, but gave it up after being offered a job with the Appalachian Mountain Club in the backcountry of the White Mountains.

It seemed (and still seems) a pretty lucky thing to get paid for working outdoors. It involved hiking mountain rescue, trail information, things like that, and I worked there four summers and a year after college. Somewhere along the line I started writing, as they say *'seriously," and have continued to do so; in 1980 I won Holyoke's Glascock Poetry Contest and this past summer I was on a scholarship to Breadloaf Writer's Conference at Middlebury. Some poems have appeared in small literary magazines (Tendril, Poetry Miscellany) and one's forthcoming in Country Journal.

I'm now living in Vermont, in a cabin four miles from anywhere, supporting myself by teaching cross-country skiing and by various other means like waitressing, surveying and working in a health food store. The most adventurous thing I've done was to travel alone to New Zealand one year to work on a sheep farm and to learn to weave and spin. How've I changed? I grew up! (I was awfully tiny in those SAS years; now I'm just kind of small.) Seriously though, St. Andrew's was a very happy time because I was just beginning to know myself, to have a lot of good friends and to succeed at things.

Answering a question about how one has changed in the years between the ages of 16 and 26 is a tough one; these are the barest facts rather than a rambling discourse, but I hope they'll fit somehow.

DIANNE CARTER Presently, I am working in Springfield, Mass, as a personal care attendant for a paraplegic couple. They both have cerebral palsy and until recently were institutionalized as they were assumed to be "idiots;" however, they were discovered to be of "normal" intelligence and thus were released and given support services to maintain a normalized life-style. I took this employment after working as a Senior Probation Officer in Hartford, Conn, for three years. I resigned from the position basically because my car broke down and my employer did not want to go through the changes of understanding my predicament and then giving me a means to resolve it. My alternator has since been fixed.

I enjoyed a wonderful tenure there as a probation officer. I passed an examination that tests your apptitude for the position with a higher mark than anyone in the history of Connecticut and my recidivism rate (those that return to the court) was one of the lowest in the state. I was effective in getting young people and their families to become more productive, positive citizens of Hartford. I am very happy to be able to say that and to have had that experience.

I would say that right now is a very trying time for me. Since graduating from college, my difficulties (disillusion breakthrough) began to occur. When I was a high school student back in Pittsburgh, some twelve years ago, I became anxious about my future. I sought out my guidance counselor to find some alternatives. I received no concrete advice in spite of the fact that I was in the accelerated classes in my high school. It just so happened that other students in my classes were being courted by the ABC (A Better Chance) program, so I went back to my counselor and questioned her, "Why not me?" Reluctantly she spelled out the procedure and I began the process.

While waiting for the results of my efforts, an individual attempted to take my life through a very trying ordeal. My guidance counselor then, through empathy for the ordeal I had faced, began for the first time to understand the earnestness with which I sought to establish a stronger sense of well-being for myself. She offered to guarantee me a seat in the best high school in the city because she could not promise my acceptance into the ABC program. I refused the seat at the other high school because I felt no connection with the school and I knew that I would not be able to afford transportation to and from the school.

I returned to my old high school amidst lots of strange questions such as, "Oh, I heard you were kidnapped," or "I heard someone killed you." A very trying time indeed. I had been back at school about four days after my ordeal and began entertaining thoughts of quitting school because of the questions from other students and the fact that everyday a police officer came to school to convince me to go to the police department to pick someone out of a line-up. Meanwhile, the guidance counselor called me to her office to tell me that my SSAT scores were "good" and that a school wanted me to visit for an interview. Well, I could not believe itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;St. Andrew's School in Delaware. Of course, I had not ever heard of the school, but, boy, was I excited about it!

Finally, I got a break! Finally, someone(s) heard my cry/plea for something better.

Well, St. Andrew's accepted me and I accepted St. Andrew's School. I spent two wonderful years there growing and sharing space and time with like-minded young people. It was truly a great time for me.

Whenever I have been alone since with no real close friends because of my transient circumstances, I would pull out my St. Andrew's School yearbook and remind myself of a pure growth and developmental stage in my life. And I would invariably come to the conclusion that I spent too little time at St. Andrew's School.

With a four year scholarship I went on to Connecticut College. Initially, I felt that it was an ideal learning facility for me, but I found it to be very difficult to grasp where the school was coming from. They offered music and a social service curriculum, both of which I was excited about. I found, however, that my music endeavors would be deflated as there was nothing outside of music lessons. There were several attempts to get an orchestra off the ground, but they all failed because student interest was not there. I took all the music courses that I could. I could have majored in music with one more 400 level course. I did not have a faculty advisor until two months into my senior year. (It was manditory that you have one by second semester, freshman year!) I asked several faculty members and no one wanted to take me on. Heavy karma, huh? My freshman year, the dean of freshman was my advisor.

I learned after being at Connecticut a short time that they were going through a transitional phase. About six years prior to my arrival, they began recruiting black students, mainly from New York. When they got them on campus, they housed

11

them all in one dormitory! This change also coincided with the racial turmoil of this country at the time; consequently, a lot of bad feelings and misunderstandings occurred. As time passed, the students (black) and administration came to the conclusion that it would be much better to have the students non-segregated.

It was deep for me because I had no idea of what I had flown into, and coming from St. Andrew's, I was really taken aback. I could relate to anyone, but I was getting the distinct impression that I was expected to take sides. So, I related to everyone. I became the president of Umoja (Swahili for Unity) for two years. I really believe that the attitude of all of the students at the College changed tremendously and unity of all the students resulted.

I graduated from Connecticut College not having enough money to return to Pittsburgh, so I moved to Hartford until I could get enough money to return home.

One job led to another and I still have not gotten it together to return home. I am still trying to make it, I suppose. I miss my family a great deal at times... I write and call when I can afford it.

The biggest benefit in my life has been reconnecting with NSA (Nichiren Shoshu Soka Gakkai of America) after being estranged for almost ten years. NSA is a lay organization for Nichiren Diashonin's Buddhism, the underlying tenet which is Kosen-rafu or World Peace. In March of this year, I had the tremendous fortune to go to San Diego, Calif, to meet with President Ikeda and twenty thousand youth from Japan and America for a gala event and encouragement to chant Nammyoko-renge-kyo for World Peace. What a rejuvenating experience. There is a genuine and refreshing movement toward eradicating all human suffering through chanting Nam-myoko-renge-kyo.

I am very happy in my life in spite of the many obstacles that seem to snuff out happiness. Thanks for the opportunity to share this with you.

BETH HALSTED I've always led what most would consider an unusual and exciting life. My work experience ranges from marketing investment diamonds to successfully opening and managing a restaurant.

choose a single event to be most unusual or challenging, it would have to be the accident whose result threatens to alter my previously spontaneous and fairly fastpaced life.

I think it's not as hard to lose something you never had. Finding yourself suddenly paralyzed when you are accustomed in every way to an active existence, is a daily battle of mind over body. In this respect, my twenties have been a more trying time than my teens. At the same time, though, it has the potential to be the most challenging and expansive period in my life.

worry about it as much as we used to. I guess we are all just older, more mature versions of our SAS selves. And in some ways people are exactly the same!

I can't think of anything that I've done that can really be described as "unusual."

After St. Andrew's, I spent four years at Princeton, where I was academically happy as a clam, but socially less content.

I missed the SAS community terribly during my freshman and sophomore years.

Perhaps that was one disadvantage about SAS; it was such a comfortable little group that I was ill-prepared for the size and diversity of my college class. The

regret having gone to graduate school regardless of what I end up doing. Boston is a great place to live and I've made some terrific friends.

The hardest decision I've ever had to make was to get married, which I am going to do in June. It was hard because it is to me the most important decision that I will ever make—moreover, I've enjoyed being single! But now that it is happening, I am very happy. My fiance is a graduate student in European History at Brandeis.

It is hard to say which period of my life has been more trying, adolescence or

How are you different from your mother?

• We are very much alike, only she married at an early age.

• I have an education, i.e., a better chance of upward mobility, but fundamentally we are the same, striving for happiness and harmony.

• I'm more aggressive in my career motivations.

• I'm more spontaneous, less modest, less sheltered and I have to work.

• I demand more from my husband, my career and from myself.

• I'm more career oriented; otherwise we're very similar.

• I had a chance to go to college and she didn't.

• Other than the obvious differences that time creates, I've become increasingly aware of how similar we are.

• I have a chance for a successful career.

• I have the option of continuing my career, full-time, part-time or whatever I choose. When my mother was 27, she had four children.

• The similarities are more evident to me now than ten years ago. I have enormous respect for my mother's accomplishments; she's a tough act to follow.

DALLETT HEMPHILL I am presently a fifth-year graduate student in American History at Brandeis University. In a lot of ways my present occupation is a natural continuation of my experience at St. Andrew's; I think that both my interest in history and my optimism about education in general were well nurtured there.

It is hard to know how much I've changed since I was a student at SAS. I am always surprised at how warm and genuine the friendships that I made there continue to be. (I seem to stay closer to SAS friends than to college friends.) My SAS friends don't seem to have changed much, and they don't point out great changes in me. I think we all basically look and act the same; we just don't

snobbery and racial social segregation at Princeton came as a shock. I spent my junior year of college in Paris and had a blast. That year I did my first historical research in Paris' archives, research that eventually made me decide to go to graduate school.

Graduate school has been a wonderful experience. The Brandeis history department is a small, warm and supportive community. In some ways I've had more fun in graduate school than in college.

I've greatly enjoyed doing research in my specialties, American colonial and women's history, and teaching students in American History and Western Civ. courses. The dismal prospect of not getting an academic job looms large as I get closer to finishing (I am about to begin writing my dissertation on etiquette in America to 1860), but I think that I won't

young adulthood. Obviously, my teenaged years were filled with difficult questions of identity, but I found SAS an excellent and supportive atmosphere in which to work out those issues. SAS provided a lot of avenues for "finding one's self"—in academics, the arts, sports and most importantly, in one's peers. My 20's have brought the benefits of security in my personality, strengths and weaknesses; but adulthood has also brought me face to face with today's harsh economic and political realities, realities from which I was shielded at SAS. On balance, however, I really appreciate those two years by the lake. I tend to be very nostalgic on the subject of life at St. Andrew's, 1973-75. I have many fond memories, from the opening picnic and tour of the School to graduation day. It was great fun.

VALERIE SNOW KLINGER I can't say that I have done anything very unusual, but I have had some interesting experiences in the past ten years.

Each summer while I was in college, I rowed for a club in Philadelphia; in 1977 I rowed for the Philadelphia Girls Boat Club where I learned how to scull. The next three summers I rowed for College Boat Club of Pennsylvania (we spent about six weeks each summer training for the Nationals). I rowed in the lightweight eight all three summers and one summer I also rowed in the lightweight four. Each summer the Nationals were in a different city—Seattle, Detroit and Knoxville; our lightweight eight won a gold medal in Seattle, a gold in Detroit and a bronze in Knoxville. What a way to see the country!

The year we went to Seattle was special not only because it was my first summer with CBC, but also because the coxswain of our winning lightweight eight was my good friend and former SAS cox, Ginny Eliason.

I also rowed for my college team and had a chance to do some coaching my senior year. Unfortunately, I haven't picked up an oar since the Nationals in Knoxville—there isn't much water up here in Lancaster!

It was exciting to see how well the SAS girls' and the boys' did this past year— the girls sure have come a long way since it was just T.C. Williams and SAS racing Vi mile down Noxontown Pond!

Aside from my experiences in rowing, I spent one semester at Texas Tech as a visiting student. What an experience and and education! I went from a small boarding school of barely 200 students to a small college of 2,000 to a major university in western Texas. Texas Tech was a little bit slower pace than Delaware, and the exact opposite of life at a liberal college near Boston like Clark.

After college I went to work for Wesley College in Dover as an admissions counselor, a job that involved a lot of traveling. I was there almost two years when I got married and moved to Lancaster, where I now manage a Rite Aid Pharmacy. My husband and I bought a house and are in the process of redecorating it. My job and our house take up most of my time now, but we do manage to find time for skiing (snow and water), going to the beach and a little bit of traveling.

It's hard to say which period of my life was more trying. Each phase seems just as difficult as the last. Now that I'm in my 20's, the teens don't seem as if they were so bad and I'm sure that when I'm in my

30's, my 20's won't seem as if they were so bad. You are always facing changes and having to make difficult decisions.

SUE MOON STRUTHERS I'm currently working as a financial analyst for the J. C. Penney Life Insurance Company, in Dallas, Texas, performing primarily special projects with emphasis on personal computers and FOCUS. My husband Phil was transferred here in January, 1983.

I guess the hardest "decision" I've had to make was leaving Ohio to move to Texas. It was difficult to leave the security of family and friends to move to a new place where I didn't know anybody!

I think that my 20's have been much more trying than my teens. SAS was so structured that I didn't have to make any decisions; they had all been made for me.

Getting settled in college, picking a major and working to be successful in my career (juggling marriage, graduate school and working) have been much more trying than any decisions that I made in my teens.

I don't consider myself as having done anything "unusual." I've had a lot of fun and been exposed to many different kinds of people. I guess my most "unusual" experience was being hit in the face with a golf ball and coming out with a broken nose and two black eyes that were almost swollen shut. I met my husband Phil soon thereafter; he was curious about the splint on my nose and what had happened (he saw me at my worst, I hope)!

On a more serious note, I still keep in touch with old friends from SAS. I've picked up new hobbies such as golf and bowling and lost interest in things that I cared for while at SAS—history, politics.

Phil and I bought a house last summer and got a dog, although kids are way, way down the road. I'm planning on picking up some accounting courses in order to take the CPA exam to make myself more marketable.

WIN GOODRICH At the present time I am the owner of a retail store, a record and cassette shop, which has been open for a year now. I'm still living in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, which I enjoy quite a bit. I find time to get away on vacations during the winter; the summer is so hectic, but necessary for the business income.

The most rewarding thing I've done, besides opening the record store, was my student teaching. During college, I student taught 7th grade English in a local Ohio public school. Consequently, one of my harder decisions was whether to remain in

14

the teaching profession or to seek the world of retail. I found my teenage years more trying because I was unsure of myself and what I wanted out of life.

Now that I am in my 20's, I am happy, content and eagerly looking forward to the future.

ANNE GERRISH Since leaving St. Andrew's, I attended and finished my high school education at a local public school. I then went to school in Florida (must have been for the warm weather), where I took courses in psychology and sociology.

I had an itch to travel—I would rather have done anything but study! I moved to Washington State with Gretchen DeGroat Root. We lived there for just short of a year. I was terribly immature and broke when I moved there, but I got my finances straightened out and did a lot of growing up in the meantime. It was a fantastic experience for me.

I moved home and got a job waitressing in a nice restaurant near my parents' home. I moved out of the house and in the following two years moved six times, finally settling in a nice townhouse with two high school friends. Shortly afterwards I started cocktail waitressing in a hotel and made great money and lived in quite the fast lane. I took some courses for one semester at a college near my townhouse. It was tough because I was working 4:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. and going to school from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. I was getting frustrated with my job; the money was super, but my mind wasn't thrilled.

Suddenly the most devastating time in my life came; my father died. I loved my father very much and was extremely lucky to have had a very close, honest relationship with him. I miss him terribly; I find myself asking him questions about my career. Sometimes I feel him smiling down on me, trusting me to make the right decisions; after all, I'm my father's daughter!

The following year I went to the Marriott Corporation and got a job as a dining room supervisor in Bethesda. Six months later I was asked to go on a task force to open a new hotel, the Crystal Gateway, where I stayed on as Room Service Supervisor. It was a great experience.

I had been having money troubles and they finally got the better of me. I was going to leave the Company when they sat me down and said I had good career possibilities; they offered to transfer me anywhere in the region to get my money

together. I transferred to the Gaithersburg Marriott where I cocktail waitressed, bartended and waitressed in the specialty restaurant as well as ran shifts as the Lounge Supervisor.

In January a fantastic opportunity came up; I was offered a job as the Room Service Supervisor at the Marriott Corporate Flagship Hotel, The J. W. Marriott.

It's a tremendous amount of work opening a hotel and getting a department organized, but I love the challenge and I rose to the occasion. So much for my career.

As far as my social life goes, Fve mellowed quite a bit. I dated the same guy

GRETCHEN DEGROAT ROOT First and foremost, I am a full-time mother. I don't have to be—I want to be.

Chris is truly my pride and joy! I have gotten involved in a homeschooling program locally. It is an option that interests me for the single fact that I love to learn and I love to watch Chris grow and I would feel cheated sending him away each day and missing all the excitement!

It took several years "after school," but I've regained the thrill of learning. That's not to say that any specific school I attended was responsible for stifling this— although I think schools in general do this to an extent, but that's another essay. I

We lived like this for about two years.

(The only thing I really missed was a nice hot bath to soak my aching back the nine months I was carrying Chris.) When Chris arrived we thought we'd better become more "civilized." Then came our house, well, septic tank and electricity.

Today the rest of the family consists of five laying hens, a goat who thinks she's a dog, a dog who thinks he's a cat and four cats who think they own the place. I found a book and taught myself to fly fish, which is the summer rule on this river, and it works! I take pride in growing our food and I'm constantly learning how to do it better!

What lasting qualities and skills did you get from your education at SAS? • The ability to write coherently; the appreciation of different kinds of people; the appreciation for learning; and the ability to ask questions and demand answers.

• Athletic experience, i.e., those things about self-reliance that sports can teach you. I was taught how to write.

• Discipline, compassion, diplomacy, independence, aside from the academic advantage.

• Small classes and emphasis on English sharpened my writing and analytical skills. Extracurricular offerings allowed discovery and enjoyment of interests in music, art, etc. The warm community taught me the value of caring for others.

• I recognize the value and importance of a good education. I learned to push myself to attain new goals and to keep trying to better myself.

• Mr. Amos whetted my appetite for biological sciences.

• The ability to study and write properly; the ability to continue on my own way despite peer pressures and outside influences; the realization that I could do well when pushed to my academic limits.

• The means to live confidently and courageously from being in a supportive, compassionate and humanistic environment.

• The love of reading and appreciating the good qualities in life and people.

for 71/2 years. Last summer I realized it wasn't right and broke up with him. I've been dating a man for eight months now; I'm very much in love with him and feel very lucky that we have such a strong relationship. Needless to say, I'm very happy. I'm closer to my family than I've ever been and I have some very close, good friends.

I've changed a lot since St. Andrew's.

I've grown up and learned that giving yourself to other people because you care is important. You have to look out for "number 1," but you'll be awfully lonely if you don't care about the people you meet along the way. I've learned the importance of honesty in any relationship and how great it feels to be close to your family. I've come a long way since SAS and I feel very good about the roads I've taken.

am amazed at how many people give up learning because they've "grown up," when there are big wonderful libraries everywhere with lots of terrific books on any subject you want to learn.

Admittedly, we've learned a lot the hard way in our six years out here in Oso, but, my, we've come a long way, baby, since our city days! I really enjoy being out here (in Arlington, Washington). My husband and I moved up here from on Spanaway Lake, south of Tacoma.

We're in the process of owning five acres, with 315 feet of riverfront, of an old forty-acre farm that's been divided up.

We began in a twenty-foot travel trailer with no running water, except the river, and no electricity, then built a small room off to one side to install a wood stove.

15

I am self-employed, partly from our little farm and partly from my handcrafts.

I would find it nearly impossible to work for someone other than me. I knit, crochet, sew, macrame and have also done some woodworking, leather work and catering. I enjoy them all—the larger the variety the better!

I wouldn't be in my teens or younger for anything, unless I could know then what I know now, but I think that's cheating! Life is tough. The faster you learn and accept that, the more quickly you can stop fighting it and have fun—'cause it really is fun! There's nothing you can't do if you want it badly enough, and it's not illegal. There are so many options available to everyone. Your happiness, or unhappiness, is up to you. Take charge! It's wonderfully exciting!

Spring Vacation in the Galapagos Islands -Excerpts from the journal of Gail Wright '84 -Drawings by Beth Williams '84 -Photography by Beth Williams '84, Eliot Mason '85, Gail Wright '84, Ed Hammond '86 and William Amos

First, imagine taking a fabulous vacation on an exotic island with a group of your friends. Include getting lots of sun, touring incredibly gorgeous surroundings, relaxing on the deck of your boat, swimming, and eating lobster and fresh pineapple. Find it a little enticing? Then imagine a biological field study with a group of experts including a zoologist, an ornithologist, a marine biologist and a chemist.

Add a unique ecological niche preserved in its natural state and two naturalist guides to help you investigate it. Every zoology student's dream? Now concentrate even harder and combine the two fantasies. Believe it or not, you have just envisioned our trip to the Galapagos Islands.

Led by Bill Amos, his son Steve, and Dr. Frank Daiber of the University of Delaware, Kippy duPont, Huldah Moss, Lynn Williams, Libby Green and Bob Colburn joined fifteen

St. Andrew's students to explore these peculiar volcanic islands.

Traveling on three forty-foot boats, we got just a small taste of the great diversity of life there on our twelveday trip.

Much of the flora and fauna of the islands are found only in the Galapagos, which lay on the Equator about six hundred miles off the coast of Ecuador, because as species arrived thousands of years ago, they adapted to the local conditions without competition or interbreeding with their continental precursors. Since the organisms evolved in the absence of alien factors, they are extremely vulnerable to introduced organisms which upset the natural balance. As a result, the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands was established in 1958 to preserve the natural environment. In 1959, Ecuador declared the islands a national park.

Tourism started in 1968.

"We arrived at 12:20 p.m. and now at four o'clock I am still in awe. Even from the plane you could see how gorgeously clear and green the water is. As we came down onto Baltra, the island seemed like a strip of desert in the middle of the ocean. Opuntia cacti and oxidized lava surrounded the airport which reminded me of an open barn. We saw our first lava lizards as we got on the bus to go to the boats.

We couldn't believe we're really here."

"'This is the way zoology should be taught,' Mr. Amos remarked, after explaining the five-part jaw of a slate urchin. On that first excursion along the beach of Santa Cruz Island, we walked for less than a mile, and yet we saw an amazing assortment of life â&#x20AC;&#x201D;flamingoes, pelicans, lava gulls, puffer fish, marine iguanas, sea turtle nests, and hundreds of Sally Lightfoot crabs."

"After dinner, the cook threw some of the garbage overboard.

Painted sharks came to feed. They looked like streaks of light whizzing through the water. You could tell they were sharks by their streamlined bodies and their graceful movements.

They can be seen because of bioluminescent bacteria growing on them.

They say they're about two feet long, but they seem larger, maybe because of the trails of light left behind them."

"There on the east side of Darwin's Bay, a volcanic crater on Tower Island, I felt as if we were the only people on earth this evening. A mockingbird just walked within six inches of my feet. Like all the other animals on the islands, it has no natural fear,

16

because there are no predators it needs to be wary of. Even the nesting boobies let us come within two feet of their young chicks before they become alarmed. Like J. Alfred Prufrock, I wondered, 'Do I dare disturb the universe?'"

"It rained on the way to James Bay, but it was fun because it was warm. On the Golondrina, we all stayed out on deck. We started singing "New York, New York" and doing a hula and a chorus line. We passed two sea turtles mating. When we got there, we went swimming and got close enough to touch one of the many pelicans which gathered around the boat. Then for lunch, we ate spiny lobsters which the crew had caught last night. What a life!"

"'About the only thing I could wish for right now is a great big root beer float.' I couldn't have agreed with Mr. Amos more. Earlier in the day, we had walked along a lagoon and seen flamingoes and then gone snorkeling. Lying on the bow of the Golondrina, anchored off the beach of Rabida Island, I was trying to read a book but I just couldn't, for I was too fascinated by the surroundings. I looked up—directly in front of me a sheer volcanic cliff sloped downward to a magnificent red sand beach. The red sand and the sparkling blue water

seemed to complement each other perfectly. Two sea lions were playing by the shore. Earlier Paul and Ashley had been blowing them kisses from the beach, but now they were all alone. Occasionally I could hear their aar! aar! aar! in the distance. I hung my feet over the side of the boat and

17

sat there thinking. I wanted to hold onto that feeling—peace, freedom, awe, wonder of the world—for the times when I get too caught up in the drudgery of things."

ED HAMMOND

18

"A few yards back, I saw a dead sea lion and a dead iguana. Now, as I watch a baby sea lion nursing its mother, I suddenly grasp the disparity and yet unity between this young one and the other one dead on the beach.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, evolutionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all the theories we study in biology are working right before our eyes. Obvious illustrations like the sea lion surround us everywhere. For example, last year El Nino wiped out the kind of algae the marine iguanas ate. So, they were forced to change over to a different type of algae. At first, eating it killed the iguanas. However, some of them adjusted to the change and survived to pass on their genes. Eventually (within a year) the iguanas adapted the ability to eat the new algae."

The most amazing thing about the Galapagos Islands is their diversity.

Discovering new plants and animals on each excursion, we were astounded by how different each day was. As a result, it is impossible to generalize about these islands, except to say they overflow with energy—they are sparked with the excitement of life.

—Gail Wright

"/ went wading with half-year old sea lions, who were doing their best to untie our shoelaces. There were probably about ten of them in the small cove with us, and more outside of the cove.

Those which weren9t squirming in between our legs, tugging at our shoelaces and sniffing our shins, seemed to be surfing on the small waves rolling in. It was truly amazing to see such critters, who are supposed to be wild, coming right up to us to say hello."

News of the School Faculty Notes After 37 years, Bill Amos, chairman of the science department, has retired with his wife Cathy to their home in Lyndonville, Vermont. He will be compiling material for his book about SAS, the 25 years from 1958 to 1983. He was the graduation speaker in May. Bob Moss, after 14 years, is moving north to assume a position in the French department at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., where he will also continue coaching crew. His wife Laurie, assistant to the director of public information, and their two daughters, Laurie and Sarah, are assisting in the move.

On his sabbatical leave this year, Sandy Ogilby intends to study in Israel for ten weeks this fall and to tour in Turkey before returning to the Yale Divinity School where he will continue his studies.

In a recent phone conversation with Wendy Allan Johnson, we caught up on her news. Since leaving SAS, Wendy has earned three masters degrees and at present is the school psychologist at Wilbraham-Monson Academy. She lives in Springfield, Mass, with her husband Clifford, business manager at the MacDuffie School, and their 5Yi year old son.

Bill Pruden, a three-year veteran, is returning to student life at Rutgers, where he is pursuing his Ph.D. in American history.

Letter from Carolyn Cantlay I have no business letting St. Andrew's mean so much to me, having taught there only two years, but it does. Once again, I have been captivated by the Bulletin.

Right now, I should be writing a paragraph using new vocabulary for tomorrow's Thai lesson (...), but instead I just read Bill Amos' article on Noxontown Pond and felt I had to write to say what a wonderful piece it is, and what an increasingly fine publication the Bulletin is. It has never been anything less, since I have known it, but the last several issues have been especially well done.

Please pass along my congratulations and best wishes to Billâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I know there will be a fitting send-off for a man who has been such a part of the life of that School.

I wish I could be there to join in the goodbyes, good-lucks, and thank-yous to him.

In Memorium Harry E. Labour, Master Craftsman, SAS faculty member for 33 years On the eve of his retirement after 33 years of teaching woodworking at SAS, Harry Labour died on May 13, 1984. A wellknown Delaware watercolorist, Harry taught industrial arts for more than 40 years in the New Castle public school district, where his wife Edith also served as a school nurse as well as the assistant nurse at St. Andrew's for 20 years. For many summers, the Labours worked at the American Youth Foundation camps, Miniwanca and Merrowvista.

Harry taught the II Form woodworking course as well as helping other interested students on weekends. His dedication to SAS was evident in the caring and concern he always showed for everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;students, faculty, even faculty children. We will miss him.
