SPRING 1985, VOL. 7, NO. 2 ISSUED TWO TIMES A YEAR

From the Headmaster When I began to write this edition of "From the Headmaster," what flowed from my pen sounded familiar. After some scrambling about, I found a copy of a Chapel talk I gave on September 14, 1983, and, sure enough, I had addressed the same themes then that were in my mind now.

That year, prior to the actual start of School, Douglas Heath, Professor of Psychology at Haverford College, met with faculty and Sixth Formers and helped us think about our goals as a school and a community. These sessions provided much of the material for the remarks I offered in Chapel the following week.

Knowing that there are few topics more important for a school community to consider than its basic goals and objectives, I trust I will be forgiven for offering words that are not freshly minted.

Chapel Remarks, Wednesday, September 14, 1983

Ken Ifu '85 of Hong Kong demonstrates and explains his native calligraphy to classmates of the Chinese Civilization course.

I thought it might be appropriate to share with you a few thoughts about the purpose of schools like St. Andrew's. After all, each of us will be spending 24 hours a day at St. Andrew's for the better part of the next nine months. It's probably worthwhile to ask ourselves: Why are we here?

What do we hope to accomplish? What are our goals?

I want to begin by suggesting that schools such as ours have one overall goal: To assist each student to discover who he or she is. This goal can be realized in different ways, but I also suggest that most schools rely upon two very basic vehicles to reach it.

First, most schools try to expose their students to what Mr. Stegeman (Robert Stegeman, St. Andrew's Academic Dean) refers to as "the accumulated wisdom of the tribe." A few years

ago he spoke eloquently on this theme in a Chapel service. Rather than paraphrase his remarks, I want to quote what I believe is a particularly illuminating passage from his talk. " . . .through schooling (and also through other institutions like the church and the family) you are receiving the accumulated wisdom of the tribe. This is a terribly important consideration because without this you can be neither free nor completely human. Our success in the evolutionary struggle can be attributed more to our brain than to our brawn. Because of our brain, we are able to pass on to succeeding generations the benefits of our collective experience. We have accumulated a large store of useful wisdom, which anthropologists conveniently call culture.

Culture is a difficult concept to define, but basically it is that part of the environment that is created by man: his customs, habits, values, tools, language. We survive through culture; it helps provide direction and cement to human societies.

"Culture, along with religion, has enabled mankind to do more than simply survive in his struggle with his natural adversaries. It has also helped him to see and investigate the confusing universe around him and to discern meaningful patterns in that universe.

"Physics, Chemistry and Biology do this and in other ways so do the study of literature and history. These 'subjects,' as you call them, don't exist in a vacuum. They don't disappear after you have taken the college boards. They have a very direct relevance to you as a human being, especially when you are faced with the prospect of living in the world of the 20th Century. You are a captive of culture; you can't escape it. To do so, you would have to go back and start all over again, literally reinvent the wheel as well as the steam engine, writing, mathematics, and the Bill of Rights.

"The most suitable and efficient way for a modern society to prepare its young in certain key aspects of culture is through the school."

Please note that being exposed to "the accumulated wisdom ot the tribe" has very little to do with "producing" brilliant mathematicians or theoretical physicists or any other form of scholar. While some of you may well develop extraordinary competence in academic fields, the vast majority of you will devote your lives to careers far removed from the rarified atmospheres enveloping such pursuits. But no matter what vocation one chooses, to discover who one is, one must first understand one's culture. For, as Mr. Stegeman so accurately stated, we are, to a large degree, products and captives of our culture.

Only when we become aware that our culture is a huge mosaic composed of millions of brilliantly colored, interrelated pieces are we able to begin to make sense of life and to make intelligent judgments.

It seems to me that this is the major reason why it is so important to be liberally educated.

We study literature, history, biology, physics,

chemistry, foreign languages, art, music, etc., not with the specific goal of becoming a chemist, a writer or a musician, although we may wind up being one, but with the more general goal of orienting ourselves to the culture we have inherited and which is as much a part of us as the genes we have inherited from our parents.

In short, our exposure to these subjects is a most important element in our voyage of self-discovery.

I want to suggest that the second vehicle commonly used by schools to assist students to discover who they are is to expose them to as wide a range of human activities as is possible, given such limitations as time and geography. Perhaps this is the primary reason for the broad cocurricular and extracurricular programs St. Andrew's offers.

I don't want to belabor a point, but let me again stress that few of us end up on the rosters of the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Orioles or Philadelphia 76ers, and an equally small percentage will attain stardom on the Broadway stage or with the New York Philharmonic. On the other hand, through exposure to the many athletic, artistic and other activities which schools offer, many of us will discover talents which will be sources of life-long interest and enjoyment. In the entire process of self-discovery which education is, few moments are more exciting than discovering that within oneself is a talent, an interest, which has been waiting to be born.

As I mentioned, I believe most schools use these two vehicles to help students reach the goal of discovering who they are. But as Dr. Heath suggests, the manner in which these two vehicles are driven by the faculty is at least as important as the directions in which they are pointed. One can graduate from a school or college with a remarkably fine liberal education and well developed talents and interests and yet be ill equipped to cope with life. Indeed, I agreed with Dr. Heath's contention that, over the long haul, the most important aspects of self one can discover at school and college flow from how courses and activities are approached by faculty and students rather than from student retention of the content of those courses and activities.

Let me explain.

Dr. Heath's research proved to his satisfaction that those adults who appear to be best adjusted and leading the most fulfilling lives are those who are able to get along with other people, who have the inner resources to cope with some of the harsher realities of life, who are independent, and who have well-defined and understood moral and ethical values. The following characteristics, attributes and skills are among those cited by Dr. Heath as being the foundations upon which such a "whole person" is built.

• a sense of responsibility for others • empathy • integrity • diligence • self-confidence

• self-motivation • oral and written communication skills • a sense of humor • a reflective mind • a logical mind Dr. Heath went on to make the point that schools which do not help their students develop

these characteristics are doing them the greatest of disservices. I might add that those which assign the teaching of these characteristics and skills to "ethics" classes, rather than integrating them into all programs offered by the school, are not helping their students much more than those which do not recognize them as fundamental responsibilities in the first place. One of my strongest desires for St. Andrew's is to have it be a school where both faculty and students approach their classes and activities with the shared understanding that competence in our curriculum and cocurriculum includes mastery of these characteristics and skills as well as mastery of subject matter.

Let me give three specific examples.

First, pick a course—any course: Clearly we hope you will share your teacher's excitement for the subject matter at hand and that you will master that subject to the best of your ability.

But we also hope the manner in which your course is taught will help you develop your potential in other areas as well. For instance, I hope every course offered at St. Andrew's includes the following among its goals and objectives: • oral and written communication skills (not just the province of the English Department) • cooperative learning skills (how to work together and learn from each other) • logical thinking (not just the province of the Math Department) • diligence • accepting responsibility for one's own education (not relying solely on teacher) • accepting responsibility to help others • integrity (plagiarism/cheating—not just the province of the Honor Committee) • coping with successes (gloat? boast?) and disappointment (excuses? blame the teacher?)

"Si, Gary. jVamos a Jamaica!"

• learning to cope with defeat and disappointment, victory and success with grace and empathy • learning to play fair • diligence • integrity (cheating)

Do you see that if the teacher and student measure the success of a course only by the student's mastery of the specific material that a horrible waste of opportunity occurs, not to mention a warping of the educational process?

Second, choose a sport at any level: Again, we all hope the players will master skills, improve their coordination and physical condition, have fun and, hopefully, win a lot of games. But these should not be the only goals. Let me list just a few others: • • • • •

developing teamwork, cooperation learning to rely on others taking responsibility for others encouraging others learning to put the enterprise (the team's interests) ahead of your own personal interests

Robert Colburn

Again, if we narrowly define our athletic objectives to include only such goals as developing exceptionally talented athletes and exceptionally talented teams, we are not only dooming ourselves to failure and disappointment more often than not, but we are also teaching precisely the wrong lessons about life and again warping the educational process.

Third, let's look at our Chapel: If we narrowly interpret our Chapel services as being brainwashing sessions during which students are "trained" to be Christians, we will surely be wasting the time we spend together here.

Let me read our catalogue's opening statement about our Chapel program.

"Perhaps more than any other single factor, our regular services of worship together give focus and meaning to our community and weave together the many unique strands within it.

Sometimes such moments at Chapel are simply welcome shelters from the whirlwind of daily life. The peace and tranquility of the place and the beauty of music and song soothes and restores. At other times, Chapel enables us to look inward, focusing our attention on what we have done and left undone. Always Chapel affords us the chance to think of loved ones and those in sickness, sorrow or need. Most important of all, it forces us to return to the bedrock of life by bringing to our attention the great, eternal questions and mysteries of life itself and, for the consideration of all, the answers presented by the Christian Faith."

Ages and ages ago, humankind began to ask: "Who am I? From whence did I come? Where am I going? What is this universe of which I am a part?"

It seems to me that any culture which does not encourage its young to probe these questions, to reflect upon their own beings, to explore as fully as possible their innermost souls, is doing them the greatest of disservices. Our times together in this Chapel provide opportunities for such reflection and self-discovery in addition to opportunities for those of us who embrace the Christian faith to worship together.

You will perhaps note that I have not once mentioned the pursuit of happiness as being part of the self-discovery process which education is.

Indeed, although I have not directly stated it, much of what I have described sounds like a lot of hard work and challenge. And it is.

But I will end by quoting a passage about happiness from the baccalaureate address given

by Dr. William J. Bennett at Williams College last spring. Dr. Bennett is the Chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities (now Secretary of Education).

"Fourth, let me talk just a tiny bit about an old issue and a contemporary preoccupation as well. That preoccupation is called 'happiness.' I say to you that I wish happiness for all of you, and I have no doubt that you wish it for yourselves, but my advice, is not to seek happiness . . .

"There are all kinds of people who think happiness is a condition that can be sought, caught and maintained indefinitely. Some also believe that the quality of life is determined by the number of hours of happiness that you can chalk up. That's not true. The irony is, you will have a much better chance of finding happiness if you don't bother your head about it, if you worry about other things. Happiness is like a cat. If

you try to coax it, or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.

"So, forget pursuing happiness, pin your hopes, rather, and your bets, on understanding, interest, engagements, commitments, and on work, learning, knowing, love, play and friendship. Forget pursuing happiness—pursue other things, and with luck, happiness will come to you."

"/ have deliberately called diversity and equality, friendship, study and questioning, tradition, and objective love elements, for they are basic to our lives. You have experienced them and internalized them. If I have a wish for our graduates, a charge for the Class of 1985, it would be that you use these elements, that you go back to your roots in the family, in this community, and in our shared traditions, and share them with others, and that you combine these elements with social concern and ultimate concern in the reshaping of American society."

The Right Reverend Arthur R. McKinstry was honored by representatives of the Board of Trustees and the Headmaster in a small ceremony dedicating the McKinstry Garth. At the close of the ceremony, the Concert Choir sang the new School alma mater to Rev. McKinstry who was fifth Bishop of Delaware and President of the Board of Trustees from 1939 to 1955 and to Mrs. McKinstry.

On Sunday, May 5, the Diocese of Delaware concluded its celebration of 200 years of mission service. The Bicentennial Committee, after considering many sites, decided that the grounds of St. Andrew's would be ideal from the point of view of location and setting; and so it turned out.

A great tent set up on the playing fields accommodated a congregation of 1200 representatives of all the congregations and organizations of the Diocese. A 250-member choir, accompanied by organ and brass players, was directed

by Marc F. Cheban (SAS Faculty). A festival evensong was celebrated with Bishop Luc Garnier of Haiti as preacher. The service con-

cluded with the performance of a dramatic Solemn Te Deum written by Marc Cheban for the 50th Anniversary celebration of St. Andrew's School.

The occasion also marked a celebration of the ten-year episcopate of William H. Clark who retires as Bishop of the Diocese and Chairman of the Board of Trustees this summer.

It is 8:30 one morning in late September. Six students and a teacher are crowding around a sink in a chilly, cramped, dimly amber-lit room under the biology lab, all straining to see a sheet of white paper which has just been thrust into a tray containing a clear liquid. As an image of a soccer player appears and darkens on the paper, one of the students let out her breath. It's magic," she says.

Through the Lens Bill Carpenter Photography Instructor

Ashley Tompkins '85

Bill Carpenter had always been interested in photography and worked in the field before he began his boarding school career.

Around St. Andrew's he is rarely seen without a camera when not coaching football and baseball or fulfilling his responsibilities in the English Department. Next year, Bill hopes to add a new course of advanced photography in the Creative Arts Department.

That magic, I must admit, has been my motivation for wanting to offer a photography course at St. Andrew's. Enthusiastic student interest for such a course lay behind my requesting permission of the Academic Committee to teach basic camera and darkroom techniques. After raising some $2000 last year for darkroom equipment, we launched a new minor course in photography under the auspices of a growing Arts Department this past autumn.

I believe that photography is a craft—a craft admittedly elevated into an art form when practiced by especially talented, creative individuals, but first and foremost a craft. Most of the students being beginners, I planned the course to deal heavily in fundamentals, especially during the early going. Mysterious camera knobs and dials had to be understood in terms of their effects on photographs, fumbling hands had to figure how to load strips of film onto developing reels, and other complicated or mechanical tasks had to be learned and practiced until they were natural. Shoot the pictures, process the negatives, make the prints—now, in the spring term, the pattern is both familiar and reasonably refined. Confidently, the students complete their weekly assignments: design a composition with a curve in it, put the light source into the photograph, get an interesting picture using this egg or those ice cubes, come up with a self-portrait.

Now that most of the students understand the basics, several are comfortably growing into individual styles. One fellow in the class likes to work with motion, usually freezing it sharply into a preserved moment, sometimes letting it blur expressively. Another makes tightly composed informal portraits. A third student approaches each assignment with a persistent, interesting originality. A fourth has a very good eye for placing patterns in her pictures. Personal styles, or ways of seeing, seem to emerge after each person learns to control how the photograph will look when it is finished.

Looking back, I think the course has gone well in its first year. We have produced large exhibits.

A good many prints have found their ways into various school publications. Several of the students have built up good portfolios. Most importantly, though, each student has learned much about crafting images which express how he or she views the world in a unique way.

Independent Projects A Chance to Pause and Explore Inaugurated in a modest way in 1979, the St. Andrew's Independent Study Project Program has developed into a limited but very satisfying option for St. Andrew's students. | The program attracts students who have a special interest or ability they want to polish or students who want to delve into an area that they know nothing about. For example, accomplished musician Desh Kindle '85 worked on music composition this past winter with Larry Walker, and Todd Perry '88 studied the history of the styles and techniques of musical instrument making as he made a recorder for himself. There are many other kinds of projects as well.

The key to the program is the individual student's interest. He or she arranges for sponsorship ~ by a member or members of the faculty, writes a proposal for approval by a coordinating committee and usually makes a public presentation of the results or study at the end of the term, in a program which is rapidly becoming a delightful tradition.

Those who take advantage of the "IP" Program do so in lieu of sports or theater during one of the three terms.

A sense of the range of the projects and the extent of participation can be seen in a breakdown of the program since 1979. Areas of interest include Art (21), Music (26), Pottery (16), English & Religious Studies (48), Language (7), Computers (9), Photography (7), History (15), Science (22), Mathematics (7), Dance (14), Woodworking (10), and Community Service (6).

In the past winter and spring terms, seniors Sandi Kaczmarczyk and Rob Lizondo picked up on interests generated in their English classes. Rob worked with faculty member Elizabeth Roach as he pursued a study of the South African playwrite, Athol Fugard, reading his notebooks and several of his plays. Sandi read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, Becket's Endgame and stories from Joyce's Dubliners and met with English teacher Will Speers twice a week to discuss what she read. Heather Morrow '85 read Anouilh's Antigone and Sagan's Boujour Tristesse with Mile Lacroix.

12

Lauren McKee '85, Polly Dolan '85 and Matt Koehl '85 spent their afternoons in Middletown working and playing with young children, ages 4 to 7, in the Roslyn C. Levinson Child Development Center. Their "tour of duty" was from 3:15 to 5:00 in the afternoon, when they found themselves often working with the most active of the children. This was the first step in what we hope will become a vigorous and ongoing community service effort on the part of St. Andrew's students. Following this example, sixth formers Mike Doupe, Stacey Williams and Erica Stetson worked at the Center during the spring.

Nine students worked in the woodshop with faculty members Simon and Nan Mein, each on a creation of his/her own choosing, learning much about the techniques and skills of woodworking. Amy Barto '86, for example, took on the construction of a full-sized couch, a formidable enterprise for one who has always had an interest in woodworking but little chance to pursue it. Among the more unusual projects in the spring term was a totem pole carved by Tim Abbott '86 and Theo Hartman '86. The final product was a result of their research into the origins and functions of totem poles and their own artistic bent. Also in the spring, Hugo Heriz-Smith '85 collected living specimens of creatures that inhabit Noxontown Pond and created in a series of seven aquaria an environment that matched the Pond within the confines of the Biology Lab. By its nature, small schools such as St. Andrew's tend to encourage their students to be well rounded. With a student population of 240 and a full range of sports, student publications, school government, musical performing groups, theatre and many other essential ingredients to a good school for men and women, a St. Andrean will inevitably be expected to fill a variety of roles. The IP Program has provided a chance for many students to pause and explore, in depth, areas of particular individual interest.

Growing student interest and the quality of the work being done indicate that the Program has a bright future.

•I Working on his own in the Pottery Studio this fall, Eliot Mason '85 began making mini-bricks (5/8"x3/8") until he had over 2000 bricks made with three different colored clays, which he then assembled into the "Untitled Tower." Because he assembled them with unfired clay, he was able to make yet another sculpture this spring, which incorporated another 1000 bricks.

News of the School School Concert Choir Gets Warm Reception in England "It's time to get back on the boos!" was the cheery call of our guide, Patsy Codd, who shepherded the St. Andrew's Concert Choir for eleven days through England, visiting 7 cathedrals, 6 towns, 5 schools, 4 families, 3 castles, 2 universities and 1 town hall, from Stratford to York to Ely to Canterbury, finishing up in London. Faculty member Nan Mein, whose specialty is the history of England, Marc Cheban, Choir Director, and I accompanied the 15-member select group during Spring vacation.

Besides sightseeing, the Choir gave more than ten concerts; the first were in Stratford-uponAvon, with a short noontime one at the Holy Trinity Church and, that evening, an hour's program called a "Social Evening With St. Andrew's Choir" in the Town Hall for the benefit of the local volunteer organizations.

Many impromptu, shorter concerts in the churches and cathedrals we visited gave great satisfaction to the Choir and unexpected pleasure to some tourists. (Marc Cheban has received letters of appreciation from travelers who happened to hear them.) It was fun to be at the private school Andrew Mein attended in Canterbury last year; the Choir sang for Grades 4, 5 and 6 in The Mayor of Stratfordupon-Avon gives Marc E Cheban, Concert Choir Director, a framed memento of the occasionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a concert at the Town Hall for the benefit of Stratford volunteer organizations.

The hospitality and warm welcomes we all received amazed us, starting with a delightful lunch stop at Ann Matthers' home on the way to our departure from the Baltimore Airport March 2nd.

While there, the Choir sang for Simon Mein's mother at her home and was treated to a splendid tea party.

Our candlelight walk through Canterbury Cathedral, led by Dr. Esther De Waal, wife of the Dean, was undoubtedly the high point of the tour. We were a small island of light and sound, moving through that immensely dark, ornately ancient space, pausing to listen, meditate, pray and sing, ending at the Chapel to the Saints and Martyrs of our own time.

The Classical Language Department Thirty Latin students attended the yearly convention of the Junior Classical League on April 26 at the University of Delaware. They participated in a best costume contest, Olympic games and a toga dinner. It was a very enjoyable day for all.

At the end of May, Latin III students performed Plautus' play, Amphitryo, in the Auditorium. The Latin play has become an annual event eagerly awaited by the School community.

Amphitryo fulfilled all expectations with its raucous humor.

Receiving the honor were: Jen Cogswell '85, Kory Cowgill '87, Desh Hindle '85, Paul Keeley '85, Ann Matthers '86, Todd Perry '88, Laurence Stewart '86, and Marie Strauss '85. It should be noted that of the eight solos in the performance on April 20, four were performed

by St. Andreans. Choir Master, Marc Cheban, has been selected to conduct the 1986 All-State Chorus.

Concert and Stage Bands Clarinet player, Desh Hindle '85, represented St. Andrew's in the March concert of the Delaware All-State Band and Todd Perry '88 played with the Delaware All-State Orchestra in the percussion section.

The SAS Stage Band performed at Wesley College's Jazz Festival and at the Dover Mall while the Concert Band participated in Band Day at Tatnall School in Wilmington and gave a special Christmas concert at the Smyrna Hospital for the Chronically 111.

Study Abroad Upon the recommendation of Modern Language teachers, the Academic Committee has allowed two seniors to study abroad for the academic year 1985-86. Jennifer Morrison '86 won admission and a scholarship to the School Year Abroad program in Barcelona sponsored by Exeter, Andover and St. Paul's.

For the first time, a St. Andrew's student will participate in A School Year in Provence program under the direction of the Wooster School.

Marie Nash '86 will live with a French family and study in a French lycee in the Vaucluse.

Upon successful completion of their studies, both students will receive a St. Andrew's diploma.

Chapel in Many Tongues In April, the St. Andrew's chapel resounded with the song of "Guantanamera," prayers and a talk in Spanish. Under the direction of Debbie Huntington and Chet Halka, students of Spanish presented a moving, informative chapel service on the theme of Liberation Theology. The students won praise for the impressive speaking skills they demonstrated, and Chet and Debbie deserve thanks for their daily efforts to increase

Company I of the Fourth Battalion of the Federal Army spend a day bivouacked on the School's front lawn to demonstrate to history classes the life of a common soldier in the Civil War.

The English Department During the school year, the English Department has brought a British scholar and a New England poet to campus to meet with St. Andreans and has taken students to the theatre in Wilmington and Washington, D.C. Twice there have been trips to the Folger Shakespeare Library to see productions of Hamlet and King Lear; the Hamlet trip was for the whole VI Form. A V Form class went up to Wilmington to see a production of A Streetcar Named Desire; another class, after reading Janet Lewis' novel, saw the movie of The Return of Martin Guerre in Newark. The National Players performed Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstein Are Dead for the school community in January, and about 100 students went to Archmere Academy to see the National Shakespeare Company's Macbeth. There was also a special showing of Charles Fuller's movie, A Soldier's Story, after the V Form read his Pulitzer Prize-winning play.

Prof. John Wilders from Worcester College, Oxford University, and on sabbatical at Middlebury this year, gave a talk on the BBC's produc-

Tennis Team Takes States for Second Consecutive Year

On tour au Chateau de Versailles during spring break are St. Andrew's students accompanied by our own Mile Lacroix and DyAnn Miller.

DyAnn's husband, Rick Stow, also accompanied the group as they toured France.

The 1985 Men's Varsity Tennis Team captured its second straight State Championship and won the Independent Conference Title with an overall record of 15-0. Michael Meers '86 and captain Paul Keeley '85 won the State titles in first and second singles, respectively. Third singles Chris Tetzeli '86 doubles players Barry Ohlson '85, Alex Varga '88, Rob O'Conner '87, Steve Gewirz '85 and John Oechsle '88 combined with Meers and Keeley to record an impressive overall duel match record of 87-3 for the year. Hopes are extremely high for a third straight State Championship with four members of the team returning.

Language (continued) student fluency and appreciation of all aspects of Spanish and Latin American cultures.

The French service this year was devoted to the work of St. Vincent de Paul with viewing of a classic French film of his life.

Spanish Contest This winter Spanish students competed in the annual Aural Spanish Contest sponsored by the American Association of the Teachers of Spanish at the University of Delaware. In the native categories, several students placed among the top three: Ted Amaya '86, Cristy Colon '87, Julio Tuma '87, Ben Dunn '86, and Martha Palmer '88.

Foreign Films Thanks to the continued support of parent Mr. Francis Vincent of Columbia Pictures, students and faculty were able to enjoy Etture Scola's brilliant film, La Nuit de Varennes.

This spring a group of Spanish students traveled to Newark to see a film adaptation of a work by Garcia Marquez, the celebrated Colombian author.

French Students on Stage & Spanish Students on Video As a winter project, Alice Ryan and Pascale Lacroix guided students of French Civilization in the writing and staging of two very successful skits in French.

Students in Spanish III obviously enjoyed preparing and producing commercials for video this winter and spring. Students were eager to watch both their own performances and those of peers.

Much laughter accompanied by lots of language learning.

La Methode de Yale a St. Andrew's Katie Wheelock launched the new Yale program in French I with great elan. We are already hearing very encouraging reports of student enthusiasm and achievement.

It is with great sadness that we say adieu to Katie Wheelock who has been such a splendid colleague and teacher of French. We wish Katie and her family much happiness in their new life in New York.

Conferences This spring, Robert Rorke represented St. Andrew's as a member of the Advisory Council of the Northeast Conference on the Teaching of Foreign Languages at the 32nd Annual Conference in New York; and this summer, Alice Ryan will be attending the meeting of the American Association of Teachers of French who will be convening, sensibly, at Papeete on the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia.

Voted the season's most valuable player, Bill Brakeley '85 was elected to the AllConference Team as pitcher and first baseman and first pitcher for the Delaware AllState Team. This season he broke three School records: most strikeouts in a single season (102), most strikeouts in a single game (15 in two different games), and most consecutive strikeouts (10). Bill, who is the son of alumnus George Brakeley '57 will complete his second year as co-captain in 1986.

SAS Campus Becomes A Hostel For Elders They are eager, active and involved, full of life and a sense of adventure. They do not fit the picture of older people so often depicted in our youth-oriented society. No, these are Elderhostelersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;senior citizens in search of educational stimulation and social interaction.

What is Elderhostel? As its name suggests, it is a hosteling experience for older people (60 and older), providing temporary shelter without luxury or frills. It is an educational program for the participants as well, featuring quality courses and quality instruction. And, of course, the benefits that come from a group of interesting and interested people studying, playing and living together are substantial.

The origin of Elderhostel dates back to just over ten years ago and is credited to two men, Martin P. Knowlton and David Bianco. Knowlton was a student, teacher and backpacker just returned from a four-year walking tour of Europe.

Bianco was then director of residential life at the University of New Hampshire. These two friends met at UNH in the fall of 1974, and their common belief in a lifestyle of travel, adventure and involvement produced the inspiration for the creation of Elderhostel. In the years since, Elderhostel has undergone incredible growth. During 1984, over 70,000 people participated in programs in the United States and Canada. Additionally, thousands more participated in programs in Scandanavia, Great Britain, Israel, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.

St. Andrew's has been privileged in hosting Delaware's only Elderhostel. The Summer of '85 edition of St. Andrew's Elderhostel is blessed with an outstanding group of instructors from St. Andrew's. Dorothy Colburn will be sharing her extensive knowledge in her course on Colonial America. Likewise, an exciting course on the life and poetry of Emily Dickinson will be

presented by Tad Roach and Web Wheelock; and Don Dunn will be demonstrating his skill in woodworking. Also on tap is an evening with Bob Colburn performing some science magic.

These three diverse offerings, along with trips to our local attractions set in our beautiful surroundings, promise to provide a full and exciting week for our Elderhostelers.

Having worked with Elderhostel at St. Andrew's during 1983 and 1984, it is not surprising to me that Elderhostel has undergone such dramatic growth. Their experience, zest and enthusiasm make Elderhostelers an exciting and rewarding group with whom to work and learn. The challenge comes not in motivating them but in keeping up with them.

John A. Higgins Campus Coordinatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;St. Andrew's Elderhostel Delaware State Director, Elderhostel St. Andrew's program is scheduled to begin on Sunday, June 16, and again on Sunday, June 23. For more information on the national Elderhostel program, write John Higgins, c/o St. Andrew's School.

We were searching for the pause at the height of the rope swing a gravity pause at the top of the arc before you let go into the water we call it our eternity moment, and if you time it well you can hang like lightning in the air Robert Colburn '80 June 10, 1982

St. Andrew's Reaches Out Trustee-Alumnus Win Schwab '36 and wife, Pat, Visit Alumni/ae in Denver and Seattle

coxing the American women's crew in the Summer Olympics. Betsy continues her competitive interest in crew, is training in Seattle, and will later travel to the East Coast for international races. Professionally, Betsy has just completed her certification as a pharmacist. Her guest, John Stilling, won an Olympic Silver Medal as coxswain of the American Men's Four.

For me, a resident of the Philadelphia area visiting a Seattle-based daughter, Scott Lytle's party was a great opportunity to become reacquainted with Scott after the passage of fifty years. Scott continues to be active in his lifetime career at the University of Washington as a history professor specializing in French history of the Revolution and Napoleonic years.

Denver

At the Seattle gathering are, I to r: Bill Hammond '64, Barbara Hammond, Larry Bateman '71, Linda Morrow, Mary Jean Hannah, Paul Hannah 78, Win Schwab '36, Pat Schwab and hosts Meta and Scott Lytle '35.

Seattle Thanks to the hospitality of Professor Scott Lytle '35 and his wife, Meta, alumni/ae of the Seattle area had a reunion at the Lytle home in March.

Dr. Bill Hammond '64 who is involved with teaching and cancer research at the University of Washington was accompanied by his wife, Barbara. Larry Bateman '71, who does research and development work for the East Coast firm of William M. Wilson Sons, Inc., was on hand with a guest, Linda Marrow. Larry persuaded his venerable firm to send him to Seattle simply because he just wanted to live there.

Paul Hannah '78 came with his wife, Mary Jean, who was carrying an impressive briefcase.

To our surprise, Mary Jean turned out to be a partner with her husband in their own business, the "Rowing Shop," and not the banker or lawyer we suspected.

Youngest and certainly the smallest alumna present was Betsy Beard '79, who brought, by request, her Olympic Gold Medal received for

St. Andreans gather in many places; and through the kind hospitality of John Cogswell '57, alumni living in the Denver-Boulder area of Colorado were invited to a luncheon at Denver's University Club on Wednesday, March 27. First of the enthusiastic group to arrive was Phil Goiran '59, who recently began his own architectural firm.

Phil and his wife, Mary, will be moving to Dallas and hope to find other St. Andreans in that area.

Another Easterner, Gordon Appel '60, joined us. Gordon has been a city planner in Denver for the past twelve years after similar experience in other cities. He and his wife, Teri, have two sons, 2-1/2 years and one year old, whom he would like one day to put under the tutelage of Webster Reyner, the great former football and wrestling coach, fondly remembered by Gordon.

Ken Richards '61, currently an investment banker with Nielson & Clark was also able to be with us. After a long association with Cargill, the international grain trading firm, and a three-year stint as a portrait painter, he has recently taken up a career of advising clients on tax shelters. Ken remarked, "St. Andrew's gives one the ability to master any new subject in later life."

Joining the group with his wife, Katherine, and 4-1/2-month old daughter, Rachel, was Paul Keyser '75, bringing the refreshing presence of a family in their twenties.

Completing the mini-reunion were lawyer and recent St. Andrew's Trustee John Cogswell '57, host of this first Denver reunion and Bill Cox '56, chief of orthopaedic surgery at Presbyterian Hospital and partner in Denver-Vail Orthopedic Associates (which is prepared to repair any carelessness on the ski slopes). John and Bill were wrestling captains at St. Andrew's.

Many school pranks were revealed and warm feelings expressed, including this haunting statement by Ken Richards, quoting a fellow alumnus: 'All the rest of life is a matter of writing themes for Cameron!" â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Win Schwab '36

Alumni, present parents and past parents gathered for dinners in Philadelphia and Salisbury, Maryland, as St. Andrew's continues a program of regional activities. The gatherings are an invaluable means of maintaining personal contact and presenting information about the School, while providing a social and informative atmosphere.

Philadelphia On April 18, eight members of the St. Andrew's community joined over forty guests at the Racquet Club in Philadelphia for a reception and dinner. Hosted by Gardner Cadwalader '66, the evening was a wonderful mix of agesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;from Jody Albert and Mary Buffington Wallace, both class of '84, to Alex Hemphill and Frank Pilling, class of '40. Joined by present and past parents, the group was able to keep current on SAS, as Headmaster Jon O'Brien spoke about the state of the School and answered questions from the enthusiastic guests.

Salisbury, Maryland The following week found St. Andreans in Salisbury, Maryland, where Ed Hammond '60 and Mike Quillin '57 were our gracious hosts at Benson's-on-the-Plaza. One could not have found a more congenial group, as the Eastern Shore contingent mingled, reminisced and were a receptive audience to Jon O'Brien's remarks. The comraderie was genuine, the food excellent and a decidely festive atmosphere pervaded the evening.

Regional alumni and parent activities have been a top priority for St. Andrew's this year, and we appreciate the efforts of those who have been so helpful in arranging and hosting these affairs.

News of the Alumni/ae Congratulations, SAS Alumni/ae!

The alumni/ae annual giving program at St. Andrew's School was named a finalist in the Improvement Category of the 1985 U.S. Steel Alumni Giving Incentive Awards Program.

The Program recognizes those institutions and their alumni/ae which have made a significant and successful commitment to private voluntary support to education. As the Director of the Program wrote to the School, "On behalf of CASE, I congratulate you for your efforts in developing alumni support and your alumni for their commitment to education."

Students Treated to a Rare Glimpse of Saudi Arabian Life Thanks to John Topham '38, a look beyond the veil was possible for SAS students who visited his fine traveling exhibition, "Traditional Crafts of Saudi Arabia," on view at the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archaeology/Anthropology in Philadelphia. John traveled from his home near Rochester, New York, to meet students from Twentieth Century History and art classes and give them a personally conducted tour of the exhibit. He explained the uses and origins of the Arab tent, camel saddles, tent dividers, floor coverings, cooking utensils, clothing and Bedouin jewelry that were in the beautifully conceived display. The unusual exhibition is very important because these objects are an integral part of the daily lives of Saudi villagers and nomads and are rapidly disappearing with the modernizing efforts of the Saudi Kingdom.

This is the only comprehensive collection of its kind.

John's collection, now sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, has been on tour since premiering at the University of Rochester in 1982. Perhaps as important as the exhibit is John's 192-page book of the same name, which explains and illustrates the crafts he had collected. The book is published

by Stacey International of London and is available from the American Textile Institute.

The enthusiastic public response to John Topham's exhibition, Traditional Crafts of Saudi Arabia, has prompted the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Archeology/Anthropology to extend the display through January 5, 1986.

Loudon Wainwright '65, Songwriter/Actor In April, freelance writer/photographer Jonathan Rodgers '75 caught up with singer/song writer/actor Loudon Wainwright '65 at New York City's Bottom Line: I had never seen Loudon perform live before this date, and I was a little surprised to find him such a thoroughly and uniquely charismatic performer. Without a band and with a stage show consisting of an orange and brown blazer hung over a chair, he rules the stage and his audience as skillfully as some of the superstars he scathingly parodies.

An innate intelligence and sense of humor runs through all his music, an understanding of the fine line between sanity and insanity, and it guides him from one memory to the next, from his suburban childhood in Westchester, to the "Summer of Love" in Haight Ashbury, to the morning he came home hung-over, too old to be coddled by his mother, and became a man over bacon, eggs and coffee.

We met backstage after the show and I introduced myself as a fellow alumnus. He asked after several teachers, and we spoke briefly about St. Andrew's and his father, Loudon Wainwright, Jr., and music in general.

We left it at that, making plans to do a full-length interview in the near future when he gets off the road.

Will keep in touch.

Letters Winter Bulletin I just received and promptly read—cover to cover—the Winter St. Andrew's Bulletin. This one was the best ever. Newsy, well written, handsomely laid out and—most important of all— it reflected on every page the vibrant spirit of today's St. Andrew's. Carol Stegeman and her staff have every right to be proud of the highly professional job they are doing—a task to which it is readily apparent they are deeply committed.

I read (with only a touch of nostalgia) of the passing of the second form. Having spent two memorable (not happy but surely memorable) years as a second former, I think your reasoning makes good sense. Incidentally, I got awfully tired of being referred to (as I was for 2-3 years) as "Second Former Emeritus." They even threatened to name the old East Dorm after me!

Every time I read or hear of the exciting things happening at St. Andrew's, I am grateful and pleased that St. Andrew's "Wilderness Years" are over.

Dinner Theatre Many thanks for a wonderful, memorable evening on Thursday, February 21.

The reception before dinner was a lot of fun for me—imagine Bill Brownlee's son, Ian '73, considering biking across the U.S., partly inspired by Randy Brinton's story which you published!

The Sound of Music was the highlight. I did not want it to end. Ann Matthers was a lovely Maria, Pier Kooistra a fine Captain and Leisl by Heather Mallory just perfect. And little Gretl, Abbie McBride, will be a fine actress! All the children were just right. Wonderful singing nuns plus one or two very professional-type voices.

The slides were so well done that they gave the occasion much dignity. Thanks goes to Ken Yu and Bill Carpenter.

It was the nicest thing to have happened to me since Christmas. It is now a most happy memory for me, and I hope it will be for all those involved.

Error in Connexio The spring issue of Connexio was interesting and informative. The Latin title gives the whole enterprise a certain cachet of distinction.

Unfortunately, your other venture into Latin, on page 2, is less felicitous. Please be advised by an old SAS Latin scholar that the correct form is not In Memorium but In Memoriam.

I noted the same error in earlier issues, but thought that surely Mr. Van Buchem (whose picture appears but eight inches from the offending barbarism) would point it out to you. Or barring him, perhaps someone from the English department who might just be familiar, if not with Latin, at least with Tennyson's In Memoriam.

But alas, as Tennyson says in that same poem: And year by year our memory fades From all the circle of the hills.

O temporal O mores!

Stanley Woodworm '39 Carpinteria, CA The editor takes full blame for the error in spelling and full credit for the title CONNEXIO. Not only did Mr. Van Buchem not know what copy would appear in the newsletter, he did not know that his picture would appear in the issue. To be sure, our English and Language faculty members noted the error. Next time, we will use a dictionary rather than refer to a past issue of our publication.

Lost But Found I was visiting my mother in California recently, and happened to see a copy of the Bulletin addressed to me, but sitting on a table which was strange to me in a room which was new to me on a coast of the United States which I do not frequent. "Strange," says I, for I haven't lived in my mother's house for some years you see, "but then that's what alumni offices do" send things out to remote places because any address, even one I've never had, is better than keeping the things on a shelf in Middletown.

Well, it worked again. My correct address is written above.

David W. Zuckerman '57 Watertown, MA We're always grateful for updated addresses . . . glad we can finally get you on the right coast. Other peripatetic alumni/ae, please take note.

Alumni/ae Relations A quick note to send kudos on the placement (and manner of presentation—in the "box" so it stands out) of the schedule of alumni area gatherings. It very concisely broadcasts the message that the School is reaching out to build and maintain good alumni relations. I can't help but think people will be impressed when they see the number and wide range of locales. I also want to add that you have created a valuable "institution" in your programming of Alumni June Reunions, making the weekends truly a family affair.

SAS CALLING Parent and alumni/ae volunteers gathered in mid-May at the Wilmington law firm of Morris, James, Kitchens & Williams, hosted by alumnus and Trustee Henry Herndon '48, for a St. Andrew's Phonathon in support of the 1984-85 Annual Fund. The twenty-eight volunteers obtained close to 200 pledges, totaling over $10,500 in the two nights of calls. Their good efforts—and the responses of those who were called—brought the Annual Fund receipts and pledges within several hundred dollars of its $150,000 goal.

Ridgway Clark '41 Top Educator "With 20 years in the Army, I was used to a few challenges. My job is difficult, but it gives me great satisfaction knowing I'm helping the visually impaired."

Distinguishing himself in a second career, retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Ridgway Clark has been named the Elinor Long Educator of the Year, for his work with the visually impaired.

The award is presented annually by the Pennsylvania Division of the Visually Handicapped.

A vision instructor/consultant for the Allegheny Intermediate Unit vision program, Ridgway has been working for the past 19 years in a one-onone program, helping students with varying degrees of sight impairment. His work has been aimed at the development of mobility, writing, studying and listening skills, in order that the students can lead productive lives. As a resource and consultant for teachers, administrators and fellow staff members, Ridgway has trained most of the instructors in the program.

He visits schools in five districts, sharing his experience with other personnel.

Ridgway says he chose to become a 41-yearold freshman at the University of Pittsburgh studying special education because he enjoyed his work as plans and training officer in the artillery unit.

We are pleased to pass along the following note from Bill Churchman: ''Can't wait for the 45th (reunion) in '86! Always thrilled to watch SAS crews on the Schuylkill, and I am particularly proud to meet so many attractive St. Andrew's alumni in airports when flying throughout the USA."

We would like to pass along parts of a letter from Bill Strong, which expresses the satisfying but sometimes frantic lifestyle of many St. Andreans, circa '70: "It is the fourth year on the prairie for the Strongs, whose affiliation with 'Out East' manners is becoming tenuous. Formerly bon vivants in New York and New Wave hipsters in Boston, they have adopted many of the ways of their sturdy neighbors: hardworking, church-going, child-rearing. But it could be said that many of their contemporaries, even those still anchored hard by the Atlantic, have become Midwesterners in spirit at least.

"Penny is the workhorse of the family, the center that holds it together on incredibly hectic mornings when four people must get dressed, eat breakfast and go four separate ways. She is Press Secretary for the Illinois Education Association, which represents all those union teachers, educational reformers love to hate. The Strongs' roots seem to be spreading here— they just remodeled the bathroom! But like the ubiquitous Midwest corn, they can be harvested and shipped along." The Strongs have two children, Nathaniel (4) and Cecily (1).
