Admissions "Fasten your ear to my advisings. . ."

(Act III Sc.l 1.103 Duke Vincentio) Shakespeare's Measure for Measure portrays a grim world full of threats to life and chaste living. The Duke who rules Vienna moves about the streets in disguise, trying to right the wrongs of a sinful deputy, Angelo, and the play proceeds through several scenes where advice and counsel are given by inappropriate advisers or disguised characters with good intentions. In fact, the Duke's words above come after he has overheard a conversation and moved to give his counsel to a distraught Isabella.

Though the central themes of the play explore the issues of sacred and secular law, virtue and temptation, much of the action of the play portrays characters in counsel, so daily and obvious a practice that the circumstance is easily overlooked.

But crucial to the bright outcome of the play is the fact that advice is followed, trust is placed in others' counsel and acted upon.

We see the very same model as a fact of our own lives where friendly advice is given and received daily, some of it important to our well being, some of it insignificant. The era of the professional consultant, the expert in tax law, business management, marriage, and so on is but a modern form of Shakespeare's dramatic model. And when we want a good lawyer a good doctor or a good school for our children we first talk to people, friends, potential counselors. The quality of the advice we get varies with the source. Some feel that we only get what we pay for, but others often benefitted from that bit of "free advice."

St. Andrew's admissions is no exception to the rule. The quality of the students we see each year depends on many forms of outreach and marketing, but none has been so crucial as the good referral from parents or alumni/ae who have been asked about St. Andrew's. So many fine candidates have come from the activity of parents and alumni/ae as passive advisors who are sought out—the idea of our extended family as active counselors lifts the spirits of this admissions veteran.

Facing the grim challenges recently described as "demography, dollars and the disadvantaged", admissions at St. Andrew's will need many parents and alumni/ae with Duke Vincentio's initiative. If our little city is to thrive while weathering the downturn in school-age children, and potential applicants, good counsel and advice must spread further and with renewed energy. As we expand travel calendars and target regions for admissions visits, I hope you will assist us to insure a bright outcome in each admissions season to come.

"Good counselors lack no clients" says Pompey in an early scene from Measure for Measure and I will lay odds that Shakespeare's words will once again ring true in our day.

School Seeks to Preserve Its Environment Elliott McBride Business Manager

This past January, the School completed two projects on which the Board of Trustees had been working for a number of years. First, on January 7, the School purchased the Wilson Farm—236 acres of prime farm land with significant frontage on Noxontown Pond. The following day, the dredge "S.A.S. TRAPNELL" was lifted from the Pond, signifying the end of a major operation which removed over 150,000 cubic yards of silt from the shallow bottom.

The Wilson Farm The Wilson Farm sits directly across the Pond from the St. Andrew's campus. Standing with your back to Founder's Hall and looking across the Pond, the entire Eastern shoreline you see consists of this property.

As early as 1957, the Trustees recognized the importance of this land, reasoning that if it were ever sold and developed (as has happened to many Delaware farms), the setting and overall environment of the School could be substantially changed. Accordingly, contact was established with the heirs to the farm, making known the School's keen interest in acquiring the property.

Many years of planning and effort were required to bring the sale to a conclusion, and representing the School to the Wilson heirs during all that time was trustee and alumnus, Dick Trapnell '36.

The purchase price was $1,000,000. To pay such a princely sum, the School assumed four mortgages and used nearly all available cash reserves. The School had earlier sold several parcels of land (located well away from the campus and the Pond) in order to raise cash for the eventual purchase. No principal from the School's endowment was used, however. The annual return on this investment will not be great on an income basis, but there should be long term appreciation of the land value.

Along with other, smaller land acquisitions in the past seven years, the purchase of the Wilson Farm gives St. Andrew's ownership of nearly all the shoreline of Noxontown Pond. That fact makes possible the realization of the School's objective of preservation and conservation of its surroundings. Whether it be farms under cultivation or natural wooded areas for birds and animals, the Campus' neighboring environment is now more secure.

One of the best views of the School can be seen from one of the points on the newly purchased Wilson Farm.

The Dredging of Noxontown Pond Beginning with a major fish kill in 1979, a series of events unfolded which led ultimately to the dredging of the Pond. In 1982, the School retained the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in an effort to determine the cause of prior fish kills. The Academy's subsequent study found that the Pond was in generally poor condition and was much more advanced in its life cycle than had been thought. In short, the Pond was moving toward extinction and in a few years might be better known as "Noxontown Swamp."

The Academy's recommended solution was dredging. By deepening the Pond (then barely more than a foot deep in many places) and removing much of the nutrient-rich silt, its life cycle might be pushed back as much as 100 years. Fortunately, new technology had been developed which made it possible to dredge a pond as small as Noxontown without totally disturbing existing life systems.

In 1983, a creative plan was finalized. A cooperative partnership was formed between the New Castle Conservation District (NCCD) and St. Andrew's School to finance and carry out a dredging program. For the School's part, a hydraulic dredge was purchased (christened the "S.A.S. TRAPNELL" in honor of Dick Trapnell, who was also the prime mover for this project); and start-up funds were contributed, all of which amounted to about $300,000. The NCCD provided manpower and operating funds.

Roughly 20 months after dredging began in the spring of 1984, the "S.A.S. TRAPNELL" was removed from the Pond and the operation declared a remarkable success. As part of the partnership arrangement, the School sold the dredge to the NCCD for one dollar.

Areas of Noxontown Pond which have been inaccessible for years because of spreading vegetation or shallow water are now open for boating, fishing and swimming. A minimum depth of four feet exists for all but areas within 12-15 feet of shore. Water quality is improved.

All has been achieved without major disruption of the fish and animal life which call the Pond home.

All members of the St. Andrew's community should feel a sense of satisfaction at the completion of these two significant projects which will help secure the environment of the School. The knowledge that future generations of St. Andreans will experience the beauty and pleasures of Noxontown is gratifying to us all. D

A Couple Working in Tandem Nan and Simon Mein "With all their many interests, talents and versatility, they make an unusual contribution to St. Andrew's. We are very lucky that they are here," observes Academic Dean Bob Stegeman.

"We work together, but we are very different people," says Nan. "I am optimistic and Simon is pessimistic. In the long run, however, he is optimistic. He is very neat and tidy. I am clean but messy. Although we have different personalities, we work very well together, particularly as a team. Our interests are different. Mine are more historical and his are more philosophical, theological. He has given me many fresh new ideas." Simon adds, "I never preach without consulting Nan." The woodshop is certainly one of the places where both Meins enjoy working alongside one another. They have long shared an interest in woodworking, but it was not until their sabbati-

—John Lyons She smiles a radiant smile. He frowns a thoughtful frown. She teaches and preaches. He preaches and teaches. He was raised and educated in merry old England. She was reared in America's heartland, Illinois. They are two very different people, yet they are a delightfully compatible team on the many occasions when they join forces. They are most respected and treasured both singly and as a pair.

Nan and Simon Mein have been teaching, preaching, dorming, woodworking, advising, living and doing a thousand other things at St. Andrew's School for almost 15 years now. In a society that is witness to so much indifference and insensitivity, the Meins are a truly refreshing commodity.

They serve together as a tangible symbol of all that is good, and that is unique about a school such at St. Andrew's. Certainly one of the great advantages that small schools have over larger institutions is the sense of community they provide. In each of these small schools, there usually exist several key faculty who provide the "glue" that binds the loose ends together. Without question Simon and Nan accurately fit this mold. They have been both parent and mentor to roughly a thousand St. Andrew's boys and girls since September, 1971.

ll

The woodshop is one of the places where Simon and Nan enjoy working alongside one another.

cal two years ago that they decided to enroll in advanced carpentry courses at Delaware Technical College. Their house is now adorned with some beautiful handmade pieces of furniture, including a grandmother clock, a harpsichord, a dining room table and chairs, and a mahogany bed headboard. Since returning from their sabbatical, they have offered woodworking as a formal afternoon activity for students. They are three-season coaches in an area that has opened up a whole new artistic outlet for students. "I was a complete amateur going into the course," says aspiring woodworker and senior, Brendan Conway. "Mr. and Mrs. Mein helped me to create a table and chair I didn't think I was capable of producing. One of the reasons I took the course was because the Meins were teaching it. I enjoy their enthusiasm. They are also very patient."

In addition, Simon and Nan are both very popular teachers. Nan is currently offering courses in Asian History, Religious Studies and Western Civilization. Simon teaches fourth and sixth form Religious Studies courses. "The interplay in the classroom is most valuable," says Nan. "To have a class that is engaged in the material, with one another and with me, is most rewarding. This certainly doesn't just apply to the classroom. It can happen in the woodshop or at home teaching students to cook. The size of the School certainly facilitates that. You have the opportunity here to see students in several settings and you can build on that experience."

Many are the Saturday mornings that a steady steam of students can be seen venturing toward the Mein household on the main driveway to meet their classes and munch on freshly baked sticky buns.

Simon echoes Nan's sentiments on teaching.

"Teaching in the broadest sense, not just in the classroom, is the most important, most valuable part of my life here. I enjoy trying to be a facilitator of awareness. The great joy of having a student whose background is totally secular and materialistic, suddenly see some other aspect of reality—aesthetically, morally, spiritually, philosophically—is most satisfying. The very idea that Plato might have been right might occur to

them. The School enables students the possibility to ponder the fact that there are other aspects of reality, largely ignored in the Twentieth Century."

Perhaps the finest tribute that can be offered to teachers is the praise and recognition they receive from their students. "She is really laid back," says senior Bill Brakeley of Nan's Religious Studies section. "You like to go to her class.

She creates a great atmosphere. You want to be engaged in discussion. You want to work hard in the course. I really have great respect for what she does in the classroom." Peter Laird '88 is especially appreciative of the extra time Simon makes available for his students. "Mr. Mein always has time for us when we are troubled by ethical questions," he says. "He knows his stuff, and he presents it well. When he gets rolling, he can be very entertaining. I also appreciate the fact that he presents his material in an objective way. He doesn't preach to us."

Headmaster Jon O'Brien acknowledges and praises the Meins' special value to St. Andrew's.

At the same time, he fears the Renaissance man or woman, the type of teacher who can contribute to a school in many ways, may be disappearing from the job market. "I hope the Meins are not a vanishing breed at boarding schools," he says. "They exemplify people who approach their jobs as a vocation, a ministry. Good Lord, think of all the times they have kids over to their house, to feed them, to teach them, to advise them. They are completely selfless. From the headmaster's point of view, it is hard to find this type of people today. Simon and Nan are an awfully good example for young faculty."

Last spring, Nan was the first female commencement speaker in St. Andrew's history. Her words touched people that day just as her and Simon's work continues to touch members of the St. Andrew's community. She began: "On that hot September day, years ago, when many of you brought your son or daughter to St. Andrew's for the first year, the car was heavily loaded. That year's VI formers met you at the front of the School, found the room on the right corridor, and helped you unload the car. After settling your child, and giving a last hug and a kiss, you stopped by the Headmaster's house for a glass of iced tea. And then you got back into the car, which now seemed much roomier, but more—it was empty, with a definitive emptiness.

For you knew that this leavetaking was different, not like summer camp when the children would be back home in several weeks. Your child had gone away to school. As you drove down the long School driveway in the empty car, you may have asked yourself, Are we doing the right thing?' After seeing hundreds of students come, and grow, and leave, I feel I can answer that question with a clear 'yes.'"

The answer is only made clearer by the work of people like Simon and Nan Mein and all of the invaluable contributions they have made to St. Andrew's School. D

Meet a Young, Married, Educational, Professional Couple

By Donna Kinney— English Teacher, Cross-Country Coach, Dance Instructor, Advisor to the Literary Magazine, Member of the School Bulletin Editorial Board, and Substitute Corridor Supervisor in East Hall

Look out "Yuppies," I happen to know about a new rival who is lurking on the professional horizon. Like the Yuppie, this new professional is known for an intense and demanding working atmosphere moderated by fierce and ridiculously enthusiastic athletics and fresh air. And like the Yuppie, he is known for his fine background and education—usually the big and/or little Ivies. Furthermore, this young professional often comes in pairs: a male and a female desiring to share this "fulfilling" lifestyle with another, for better or worse, for richer or poorer. No, Time magazine has not run a feature article on this new beast because they are too difficult to find —too busy teaching, coaching or advising to be tracked down. And they also blend in too closely with the environment they inhabit; most of them look like maturing adolescents embarking on adulthood. Meet the Married Educational Professional, "Meppie." Call them "Peppies" (private educational parents), or "Yeppies" (young educational professionals); no matter how you spell it, it means a way of life that no one can possibly understand unless he or she has attended a private boarding school or camp.

They can be spotted at boarding schools across America trying a lifestyle that allows a new

married couple to give parenting a dry run—try parenting 240 kids!

My husband and I, both teachers, both committed to the world of academia, were ecstatic when our decision to be married last August coincided with an opening in the English Department at SAS (Will had already been teaching there for six years.) I do not think we were overly idealistic about the life we were choosing; however, I do know we had discovered a greatly hidden secret. Who ever heard of starting out in a self-contained community in which room, board and society are all gratis—no rent, no cooking and no commute to work; even maid service! All of this, presented in the midst of sweeping cornfields by a peaceful pond, complete with tennis courts, athletic fields and even Gothic arches, sounded like a dream come true.

Perhaps this vision should have been clouded some when I received a call, five jittery days before the wedding, congratulating me on my new additional titles of assistant corridor master and varsity cross-country coach.

Needless to say, being young and newly married in the dorm at a full-time boarding school is a mixed blessing. The demands of the dorm are omnipresent: no privacy, constant

knocking, knocks beyond the times that anyone in the "real world" would think of calling on someone, and sometimes no knock at all—rather a body suddenly appearing in your living room.

Quickly you learn to share with 36 kids: your eggs, silverware, toilet paper, ice, ice cream and oven are theirs. In case you did not know, there is nothing so permanent as the smell of cheesesteak: Warming time: 15 min.—Smelling time: 2 days. I will never forget the day a hulking V Form soccer player arrived with the simple request of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Next thing I knew, our beautiful Waterford preserve jar from Aunt Matilda was shattered in a lump of raspberry jelly on the floor. Since then, numerous wedding presents have disappeared in that great black hole out on corridor. Will and I run a round-the-clock taxi and counseling servicenot to mention an instant birthday party service for every parent who calls the night before his child's birthday to ask if we could "just throw a little surprise party: something simple like his favorite garbanzo bean pizza, sarsaparilla soda, and pineapple upside down cake."

I am convinced that surviving one year of marriage in the dorm is equal to all of the trails of Ulysses and Penelope put together. True, we do see much more of each other than other couples, but it is often tripping over each other in the corridor between classes. Our time is so divided with each of us teaching a full load, coaching, advising, and working in the dorm that we are lucky to have one meal alone together, or more than a brief chat together until we both finish dorm duty after 11 o'clock. I

chuckle to think how before we were married we both fantasized about setting the breakfast table each night before bed to begin the day together —Ha!. . .that myth was dispelled on the first morning with knotted stomachs and last minute preps. We find it all too easy to put each other off as the last priority when, for instance, an advisee asks either of us guilt-ridden advisors for a dinner at Wendy's. As long as we remain at School, there is no real weekend. In fact, you never "get away from it" unless you get away from it!

Will and I agree that the positive driving force amid all these crazy demands on both of us is that we are unified in the very exhaustion of married, boarding school life. We, in our individual job descriptions, work independently in new paths of self-discovery and yet are joined through the common team effort of the School.

We see each other in multiple new lights and refractions on any given day, and we endure and emerge from as many growing pains and spurts as the students. We also have a wealth of role models right on campus who have survived and thrived in the boarding school world: SAS alone has 13 husband and wife teams living on campus who are both directly involved in the School, and four who are newly married and living in the dorm. So, watch out Yuppies, the Meppies may not only be the professional trend of the future, but may also serve as a fulfilling and enduring teaching alternative for some of the youngest, craziest, most patient and productive parents in the country. D

William H. Amos Awarded Medal of Distinction

By University of Delaware In a ceremony in mid-April, Bill Amos, master teacher in life sciences for 37 years at St. Andrew's and Science Department Chairman from 1955 until 1984, received the Medal of Distinction from the President of the University of Delaware, E. A. Trabant.

Bill was recognized for his work in photography and biological research published in over 100 texts, journals and magazines and for his dedication to the teaching profession. He also has been a consultant to schools, colleges, publishers, zoos, laboratories, aquariums and government agencies concerned with life sciences.

Kathryn Nevin '84, a sophomore at Swarthmore College, addressed the guests assembled at the presentation ceremony and remarked on her experiences with Bill as her teacher, advisor and friend at St. Andrew's. She said she represented hundreds of SAS students who owe a great debt to Bill for sharing the wonders of the life sciences with them and who benefitted from his care and concern for them as individuals.

Henry Herndon '48, President of the St. Andrew's Board of Trustees, also paid tribute to Bill for his continued dedication to the teaching profession and the study of life sciences.

Bill returned from his new home in Vermont to receive the prestigious award.

Former Headmaster Robert A. Moss On Teaching in Kenya

Two thousand, three hundred and eighty-seven years later, Frank Williams '70 intends to walk the route of the ten thousand Greeks who fought their way through the Persian Empire in 401-399 B.C. He set out from Ephesus (on the coast of present day Turkey) in April and is traveling inland to ancient Tarsus, then down the Euphrates to Babylon and up the Tigris through Mesopotamia, Assyria and Nineveh into the mountains of Armenia and then on to the Black Sea. The route then goes by foot and ship along the southern coast of Istanbul, Thrace, Troy, and Smyrna (today known as Izmir)—roughly 4,000 miles. Frank's ambition is to write a book when he is finished; but in the meantime, he has agreed to write a few open letters as he goes along, describing the people and the geography of the ancient sites. The first letter, dated March 10, was written from Athens, Greece, where he was reading the Classics in preparation for his journey.

While Maria worked in the hospital compound, Bob taught at one of the two mission schools. The mission is located in a section of Kenya which suffers from poor soil, overpopulation and a scarcity of water.

Frank Williams '70 Following the Route of Ten Thousand Greeks Through the Persian Empire

A couple of weeks ago, I was wandering the battlefield at Marathon, which is today covered with houses and shops, and I was struck by the beauty of a neighborhood. That beauty was significant because, in the land where the concept of the beautiful in soul, body, mind and purpose was originated, the beautiful is today nearly non-existent. That contrast between past and present unleashed in me long-pent-up abuse for the modern Greek. He has created an Athens most realistically typified, not by a postcard picture of the Parthenon at sunrise, but by a picture of a pedestrian dodging endlessly honking cabs and muffler-less motorcycles while walking in the street because the sidewalk is blocked by dirty mopwater dripping from a drain in the apartment overhead onto dog droppings and garbage —the one covered with flies and the other with wild cats. Thinking like that, I wondered where and why the beauty had gone. Then I read something about Byron.

Apparently Byron was as repelled as I by the modern Greeks: "For Greeks a blush, for Greece a tear." However, wiser than most of us, Byron realized that perhaps not all the beauty and nobility of spirit that had resided in ancient Greece had migrated to Oxford and Cambridge.

He taught me that perhaps I had invented Greece; that the Greeks who first realized that "man is a creature who, if given an intelligent question, is capable of an intelligent answer" sat side by side with others who plunged the Greek world into endless wars or splashed paint on marble or told foreigners that today is a holy day and all prices are raised 20%.

In Memorium Richard du Pont, Jr. '55 died of an apparent heart attack on March 31 in his home in Chesapeake City, Maryland. "Kip," a prominent aviator and founder of Summit Aviation, Inc., near Middletown, was the son of the late Richard C. du Pont and grandson of A. Felix du Pont, founder of St. Andrew's. He is the nephew of the President of the Board of Trustees, A. Felix du Pont, Jr. Kip had been a Trustee of St. Andrew's since 1979.

Kip is survived by his wife, the former Caroline Johnstone; mother, Alliare du Pont of Chesapeake City; a son, Richard C. Ill serving with the Army in Panama; two daughters, Virginia and Alliare; and a sister, Lana Wright of Chesapeake City.

Alexander Hemphill '40 died suddenly on January 30 in Philadelphia. Alex was a partner in the Philadelphia law firm of Monteverde, Hemphill, Maschmeyer & Obert. Alex was an enthusiastic supporter of St. Andrew's and served on the Alumni Board for many years.

Surviving are his wife, Jean Calves Hemphill of Chestnut Hill, PA; daughters, Anne Price Hanna, Lisa Burns, Jean Hemphill Warner, Dallett Hill '75, Louisa Zendt '78, Terry '80 and Rebecca; a son, Alexander, Jr.; six grandchildren; a brother, and a sister. Alex was the first cousin of Holly White '36, Bob White '41, Brewster Price '50 and Phebe (Mrs. Chester) Baum '36.

a remarkable lot. Many were the first generation to attend school, and they could not explain to their grandparents what they did in school.

During the "hungry season," they went through the day on an empty stomach. Some girls walked as much as 2-1/2 miles each way; and when they returned home, they had work to do around their houses or with the farm animals.

At Nangina, I revised some of my ideas about teaching. The school operated on a minimum of everything—not enough books (there were 12 books in the school library), few maps, no copying equipment, even a scarcity of paper— you make teaching count!

One day, I proposed to my eighth grade class that they write a book composed of compositions about themselves. In the end, they wrote a 100-page book which they entitled "The

Pioneers." We performed several plays, sometimes impromptu in class, and discussed ethical problems. I taught a few students to operate a Polaroid camera and others to write the news articles, and we began to publish a newspaper.

The paper was published every other day, and The Pioneer Times became the first newspaper in the Samia District. Parents and visitors came to the school to read the one handwritten copy which was pasted on the wall.

I learned a lot about teaching in Nangina.

Teaching is not a science but an art; its results come from quality not quantity. A school is a collaborative, cooperative undertaking, or it is nothing. I learned again about the creative power and goodwill that resides in young people. I learned that whatever a teacher teaches is not learned until it is given away. D 13

Applause Production Brings Alumni/ae, Parents, Students and Parents of Former Students Together For a Festive Evening Frigid weather and icy roads failed to deter a stalwart group of alumni/ae and parents from attending the students production of Applause on February 13. Guests gathered for a reception in the library, moved on to the dining room for dinner by candlelight, and then proceeded to the auditorium for the evening's highlight. A polished performance on stage, supported by the superb pit band, provided the appreciative audience with a thoroughly enjoyable winter interlude.

Jon and Joan O'Brien Visit Middlebury Students On Thursday, January 16, the O'Briens had a wonderful reunion with ten of the twelve St. Andrew's alumni/ae who are presently attending Middlebury College. They all met at Mr. Upps, a dining spot in town, and spent several happy hours catching up on the life at Middlebury and St. Andrew's.

The alumni/ae who were able to come together were Vivi Rodriguez '85, Alexandra Sargent '85, Stephanie Jones '84, Christa Von der Luft '84, Andrea Kelly '83, John Rath '83, Catherine Lumsden '83, Jill Chase '82, David Potier '81 and Karin Lindfors '81. Plummy Tucker '83 and Monica Matouk '84 were unable to attend the gathering.

"What a superb group of young men and women we have representing St. Andrew's at Middlebury! We were very proud to be with all of them," remarked the O'Briens.

by Alumnus and President of the Board of Trustees, Henry Herndon, the assembled Alumni/ae "reached out" for two successful nights of calling that netted over $10,000 in

pledges to the Annual Fund.

Parents Anne and McBee Butcher hosted a Parents Phonathon in Philadelphia on April 30.

Volunteers contacted over one hundred parents of current and former students to seek their support for the Annual Fund.

Ken Windle, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, Retires After 17 years of service as Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds at St. Andrew's, Ken Windle will retire in June.

Ken was born in Great Britain. When he was 19, he joined the British Merchant Marines and served 5-1/2 years' sea duty during World War II transporting fuel oil in transatlantic convoys on the tankers of the Shell Oil Company. Prior to coming to St. Andrew's, Ken worked as plant engineer for Havoc Industries and then for Budd Company's plant in New York City for 17 years.

In thinking about his departure, Ken says he will miss the students mostâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;watching them grow and mature. He will also happily remember the changes during his tenure; the biggest

18

change being the smooth transition to co-education.

Ken supervised major renovations and new construction over the past several years, including the new girls' dorms and the conversion of the Laundry Building to the Art Studio. However, the most satisfying project, he says, was the energy saving projects of replacing the old lead windows with thermopane and installing insulation in the main building and faculty homes.

Ken and his wife, Clara, are looking forward to retirement. They will be able to continue with their present interests in ballroom dancing, music and travel. A cross-country auto trip heads the list of activities.

'34, '35, '36, '37 Since no NEW NEWS has been received from the classes of '34, '35, '36, and '37, since we published the last School Bulletin, we have decided to print some OLD NEWS. The following is reprinted from the November 1934 Cardinal.—Ed.

ALUMNI For the first time in the CARDINAL'S history we are able to print an Alumni column.

From this time hence it shall be endeavored to keep you in contact with all omnipotent u ex-sixthies" who are taking the world in their stride.

Of the class of 1934, our first graduating class, we have news of the following: Culleney, the first graduate with clerical ambitions, is a freshman at Trinity College, and has been pledged to the Psi Upsilon Fraternity.

Ellis is taking a Pre-Law course at Virginia.

Hughes is a freshman at Princeton.

Orr, too, is a freshman at Princeton, and is out for freshman fall crew.

Kirkland is a Freshman at Colgate University, and out for freshman football.

W. Scott is studying at the Lehigh Engineering School, and is a guard on the freshman football team.

Townsend, at Saint John's College is playing varsity football.

E. Trippe is now taking an engineering course at Drexel Institute.

Zoldy is taking a Pre-Law course at Washington College, and has been elected one of the cheer leaders.

E. Scott, ex'35 is a fre c hman at the Springfield Y. M. C. A. College.

Patten, ex'36, is now on a cattle ranch in Sonora, Mexico, occasionally "busting broncs", usually throwing the bull.

Grimm, ex'37, is gaining progress in his battle for name and fame. He is now with the U. S. Army Signal Corps, at present in Panama.

quaintance, not to me.) More importantly, Byron realized that the modern Greeks are persons who must be accepted on their own terms, however unlike his expectations those are. Once over that bump, he came to value today's flesh and blood as much as he had earlier valued his conception of their forefathers. It took me more than two months to learn that lesson. Anyone going to a foreign culture may perhaps benefit from it. D

After living and teaching college in Crawford, New Jersey for 15 years, Larry Johnson has moved back to the Philadelphia area. He now commutes to Union College, where he continues as a faculty member.

We are always pleased to renew contact with a "lost" alumnus, and the following excerpt from Tom Dent's letter will help you catch up on a bit of his life: "I retired in 1980 as Vice President/Technical Services of GAP Corporation, and moved with my wife Geraldine to Portugal, where we have long owned a holiday cottage. We mostly relax, play some bad golf and tennis, and travel a bit. We just returned from a six weeks trip to the eastern USA where we visited various friends and relatives including oldest daughter Dede Estepp, her husband and son Andrew (4); and younger daughter Alexandra (Duke '84) who is working in New York City for a French bank. We did not visit son Tom and his wife Diana, since Albuquerque was a bit far and they had just left us after a visit in Portugal." We appreciate the up-date!

Class Notes

William C. Sibert 2028 Albert Circle Wilmington, NC 28403

In August 1983, Jack Boyden retired from AMEX, Inc., Greenwich, Conn. Last May he and Mary Ann returned to their native Maryland, where they maintained an apartment in Chestertown for seven months during the construction of their house. When Jack sailed his TARTAN 30 down from Long Island Sound in June, one of his able crew was Tom Donaldson.

We welcomed the following note from Peter Torrey: "It's hard to believe I have a granddaughter who will go to college next year, hopefully UCLA or Berkeley. We (wife "Binks" and I) see our former SAS football coach and Assistant Headmaster, John Maclnnes, and his wife Betty at least once a year— and happy to report all of us are in great shape."

'41 FORTY-FIFTH REUNION Jonathan S. Wilford P.O. Box 953 Easton, MD 21601 The Class of '41 responded enthusiastically to Jon's appeal for news, and we're sure you will enjoy a glimpse of some former classmates' lives.

Stocky Hopkins has completed 30 years with Richardson-Vicks, Inc., where he is Assistant Director of Ingredients Materials Purchasing. Involving the commodity markets for sweeteners and some esoteric substances traded in specialized markets throughout the world, this position is particulary enjoyable as it ties in with Stocky's love of cooking with herbs, spices and seasonings. "When I retire in '89 we hope to see lots more of the U.S. and out-of-the-way spots around the world. Progeny number, three—with one still in college. All are single, but we hope there's light at the end of the tunnel!"

From Tony Parrish in Homosassa, Florida: 'Anne and I dated at SAS and have our 41st anniversary on

19

June 7. After returning from the Air Force in '69, I tried various things in Jacksonville and have been teaching political science at Pasco-Hernando Community College for the past seven years. I love the job but am deeply concerned about the state of public education in our country. Would that everyone could have the benefits of an SAS education!"

Bill Van Leer sold his Herreshoff 12-1/2 (unknown quantity to this non-sailing editor) in '84 and has been on the beach ever since. He hopes to build a small boat sometime soon.

From John Ball: "Nail and I are living in Barnwell, S.C. where I am serving as Episcopal priest in three small missions. After college at Sewanee and service in the Navy during WW II, I worked in chemical industry for eight years in Wilmington, Detroit, Augusta, and Charleston; then 27 years in priesthood in South Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia and San Antonio, Texas. Of our four daughters, two are married and living in Buffalo, N.Y. and Columbia, S.C.; and the two singles are in Columbia, S.C. and Cincinnati. We have two guest bedrooms, and Barnwell is 50 minutes from the Augusta National where we have on more than one occasion served as a bedroom to golfing friends who might be so fortunate to have obtained tickets to the Masters. We'd love hearing from anyone in the class who might be next door, but unaware of it."

A mini-reunion over lunch took place in March, when Wes Fenhagen and Harding Hughes had their first encounter since SAS days. Harding lives with his family in Durham, N.C., and has recently become the Administrator of the nearby town of Hillsborough.

Wes and his family are very involved in Chapel Hill activities. While hoping a full-time job will materialize, he works with the Hospice program and serves on an academic committee which is planning the Centennial of Dr. Frank Porter Graham next October. (Graham was the former President of UNC and later a U.S. senator and U.N. mediator.) Wes and Harding plan to be in touch regularly.

Bob Whyte is beginning to wind down after 15 years as a management consultant in sales management training. He has spent much of the past three years on designing and conducting workshops on methods of managing and motivating plateaued sales representatives. He notes that it is gratifying work, as most managers are desperate for practical help and real-world suggestions. Bob plans to semi-retire next year to Cape Cod, where he and Cottie have a house.

He also plans to ". . .continue running workshops, especially those to be held at fancy watering spots."

A brief but welcome note from Bill Churchman: "No grandchildren to reportâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;still the same old grind, but loving it." Bill, what IS the same old grind?

With great pleasure, we pass along the following news taken from Jim Thomas' wonderful letter: "I have been but of touch for a long time, but most of my life has been in education. I taught at the Landon School, Bethesda, Md. for 14 years; went on to Hockaday School, Dallas for six years as MathScience Chairman, then principal; and took over St. George's School, Spokane as Headmaster for six years. In January, 1973, I contracted a poly neuritis viral syndrome called Gullain-Barre, and was literally a vegetable from the neck down for three months, but slowly got motion back. While in Tacoma, Washington for a year of therapy, I taught from a desk and became acting Head at Annie Wright for six months. On to Culver Military Academy in 1974 as Head of college guidance, I became Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent and then Academic

20

Dean until 1979. Since then, I have been teaching chemistry, math and physics in Munster, Indiana.

"Two phases of my personal life have provided me with three children, four grandchildren and three stepchildren. My wife, an English teacher in Illinois right across the state line, has a fellowship to Notre Dame to start a master's in English literature and theology, so I imagine we'll be there in the summer.

"Since '73 my physical body has undermined me.

The residual of Gullain-Barre left me without muscles in ankles or feet, so balance and walking are poor.

I've had a spiral leg break and almost annual operations on both knees, left elbow, left shoulder, and even a spinal disc removal. Despite it all, I remain in great spirits! I play a poor game of golf (in the 90's) but little else. I have remained active in the Episcopal church, and still sing in the choir and have been Senior Warden.

"I've missed not being closer, but St. Andrew's has remained dear to me. Take careâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;enjoy God's love."

From Jon Wilford, who deserves special thanks for his efforts, came the following news: "I am and have been for about 10 years, a broker for boatyards and marinas on the Chesapeake Bay. This evolved as a happy outcome from my renegade lifetime of sailing around the bay with my family, and now has become a pleasant and profitable profession. I have three fantastic grandchildren. A boy, Jason Wilford, and a girl, Cordo Carraher, are 1983 models; and then the most fantastic little Jonathan Carraher is a 1985 model.

"In January and February I treated myself to the first three weeks of the QE 2's world cruise for 1985.

This was fabulous: New York to Panama, the Strait of Magellan and flight home from Rio, with lots of other ports. But I was most glad to get home and back to work. I'd had just enough of Lotus Land and the office was piled high."

Walter E. Mylecraine 38 Elmwood Drive Saco, ME 04072 Ben Fowler visited Shirley and Noel Dalton '43 in Miami last February, on his way to South America for a two-week cruise of coastal ports which included the carnival in Rio. Later in the month, he joined Jon and Joan O'Brien for lunch at the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego.

Thomas M. Tucker 14 Hillvale Circle Knoxville, TN 37919 Henry Baker has retired as senior executive vice president and director of Maryland National Bank. He is now associated as a consultant with Hayden and Associates, executive recruiters. He continues to be Chairman of the Board of the AAA of Maryland, and Chairman of the Board of the Maryland/Delaware Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. In addition, Henry is President of the board of Keswick Home for Incurables and President of The Independent College Fund of Maryland. He also serves on the board of the Kennedy Institute for Handicapped Children and is chairman of that hospital's investment committee.

hopes to participate, during 1986, in the 150th anniversary of his Dublin Rowing Club, and the 50th of his old rowing club in Holland where he was taught to row at age 14.

Pat Keller reports that he is still in Cody, Wyoming, just beginning his 15th year as rector of Christ Church. He is also a first time grandfather, to Amy Wykert, born last January.

'45 William S. Hearn 3332 Morningside Road Wilmington, DE 19810 Last December, Bob Schelling celebrated the 30th anniversary of his move to Canada, where he continues as an international marketing consultant with an occasional fling as a professor at McGill University. He and his wife Sylvie, who runs a French publishing company, have a downtown apartment in Montreal and a 180-year-old farm house in ski country about an hour and a half away. That, says Bob, plus tennis, sailing in the Gulf of Mexico each winter and a bright thirteen-year-old son are about all he can handle.

46 FORTIETH REUNION David O. Bellis 8208 Wahly Drive Bethesda, MD 20817 Jim Perry, with the "Wall Street Journal" in London, will be returning to Washington in about 16 months to cover the '88 elections, which he says will surely be his last.

Weichert is the largest privately owned real estate firm in the USA, with 105 offices in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Continuing his involvement in church activities, Hardy was recently elected to the vestry of St. John's Church, Little Silver, and chaired this year's fund drive.

We received the following note from Jack Keller: "Now a grandfather of Lauren Dale Keller, born March 4, 1985 in Memphis, Tenn. Enjoy camping, sailing, cross-country skiing here in Wisconsin; and we have a condo for vacations at Hilton Head, S.C. Hope to retire there some day. I'll always be indebted to SAS for the outstanding education and personal associations with students and teachers. It has been most helpful to me ever since."

Art Partridge is still holding fast in the desert of Saudi Arabia, although he will probably move on sometime in the second half of '86. He wrote that ". . .it sure was great to see the other 'youngsters' at last June's reunion, and to find SAS is still everything we hoped it would beâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and more!"

Yasuaki Kubo '61 Comments on his 25th Reunion "These past 25 years mean much to me, as to all of you—graduation from college and graduate school (my theses were on Milton and Bunyan, respectively), marriage, work to do, etc. The greatest experience, however, was that I became a Christian some 20 years ago and now am pastor of a local church. Immanuel General Mission is affiliated with Wesleyan Church in your country. I enjoy serving God in Jesus Christ.

"One year on your campus (1960-61) caused immeasurable influence upon my life, especially in understanding man, different nations and the world. I still cherish the memory of the life at SAS. I pray that the Lord may bless the whole school for His glory and my classmates of 1961.

Give me word if any of you should come to Japan."

A Spy In Our Midst Rob Colburn '80 In the March 2, 1986, Sunday magazine supplement of the Washington Post, Rob Colburn '80 recounts his experiences of spying on a Russian spy for the FBI. It seems that Rob was working in the Columbia University Engineering Library as a reference assistant when Igor N. Mishchenko, third secretary of the Ukranian Mission to the United Nations, requested a copy of a report that Rob thought should not be in the hands of a person he believed to live in the Soviet mission.

Realizing that librarians aren't supposed to restrict information or who gets it, he decided to call the State Department, who said that it did not sound like something Mishchenko ought to be doing.

After meeting with the FBI, Rob was asked to meet with Mishchenko, if he was invited, and then tell all to the bureau. Rob agreed, and subsequent meetings and dinners were arranged. In each case, the FBI predicted what step the Ukranian would take; and in each meeting, Rob found that that was exactly what transpired.

Rob met monthly with the spy, one time in a Chinese restaurant and once in a posh uptown restaurant. During one meal, Rob says, "He put me through an embarrassing, simplistic and insulting lecture on the 'benefits of the Soviet way of life' where the television newscasts always ended with a positive story item and where no one 'owned anybody else.'" That meeting turned out to be the last.

In January, Mishchenko was recalled to Moscow. Rob comments, "I was relieved. My experience had been relatively benign. I was able to steer clear of both superpowers without jeopardizing my career or my country. Others haven't been so lucky." with a cast of thousands benefitting from his management skills. Margaret continues her meteoric rise through the ranks of Congress Watch, a non-profit public interest group.

Following the fifth reunion last June Letitia Hickman wrote: "Everyone has been commenting on what a neat experience it was. Putting everyone on the same hall was quite fun, as we got the opportunity to live as we did at college and also it felt like we got to be sneaky since we weren't allowed to do it when we were at SAS!" (What is it?!—Ed.) About her career since she left SAS she writes: "Went to Katharine Gibbs after graduating from the University of Virginia with a Spanish Lit. degree and set out to get my foot in the door of the business world. Three months later I became a registered stockbroker and traded other broker's client accounts when they were out of the country. Eight months later I got an offer to be assistant to the president of Mocatta Futures in the World Trade Center, and I did that for 8 months and loved it. Then, I got the offer I had been waiting for in investment banking at The Blackstone Group. It is a group of seven of us on Park Avenue. Hoping to go to Harvard Business School in 1988."

Why did I finally decide to make my nest here? Namely, the PAL Program—Program for Advanced Learning. The program is set up for those students with learning disabilities, like myself.
