EDUCATION: BA, cum laude, Dickinson College, 1987, majored in economics, minored in political science; EdM, summa cum laude, Lesley College, Cambridge, Mass., 1990. BACKGROUND: I grew up in New Canaan, Conn. Currently, I reside in a small town (1,300 people) in central Vermont. PROFESSION: After college I worked in London for eight months before returning to the States with no specific career path. While looking for a job that fit my degree, I kept coming back to ads that wanted teachers. In my first two years of teaching, I had the opportunity to work with children who were emotionally disturbed, learning disabled, as well as elementary aged students, middle schoolers, and high school students. I also was fortunate to work at an independent day school. I found that I wanted to have a blend of it all, so now I find myself in my second year of teaching third and fourth graders at a public elementary school in rural Vermont. I have 21 students. There just isn't enough time in the day to teach everything I want. I love what I am doing! I'm ecstatic that I didn't wait until later in life to begin this wonderful profession. WHY I GIVE TO SAS: Besides giving money to the general endowment fund and class gifts, I find it important to give money to St. Andrew's for specific programs. Because photography was extremely important to me at SAS, an area in which I could express myself, I felt that it was necessary to earmark money for that particular field. I hope that the expanded facilities enable more students to explore this wonderful art. As photography was a large part of my life at St. Andrew's, wildlife and forestry are important to me now. When I heard that St. Andrew's had begun a new wildlife and forestry program, I felt it was important to support this new discipline. I feel that each new program which the School creates enables more students to find their own niche or field of interest. Hopefully, these expanded or new areas will entertain and enlighten the minds of current and future students.
BACKGROUND: After moving to Delaware some twenty years ago, I heard stories about what a wonderful school SAS was from alumni and parents of students. I learned much more about SAS once my niece, Ridie Lazar, became a student in 1986. Ridie's love and enthusiasm for the School are contagious. PROFESSION: Director of Research, Wilmington Capital Management, which manages institutional and personal investment portfolios. The firm is a subsidiary of Wilmington Trust Corporation. WHY I GIVE TO SAS: My respect for the School and my desire to support its activities through annual gifts grew from the various contacts I have had with students, faculty and the headmaster and his wife. The School's ethos was memorably demonstrated in one experience I had. Several years ago, I drove my niece and three friends to Wilmington for dinner before prom night. School gossip (who was going with whom to the prom) was the first topic among my riders. Then the complaints began. One of the young men bemoaned the School's high expectations. The other young man quickly agreed, illustrating the point with the observation that he only had to see the headmaster to feel that he should "... stand up taller." Rarely do we meet a person or, as is true of SAS, a group of people that make us feel that we should stand up straight. My gifts to SAS allow me to share with students, their parents, alumni, faculty and staff in the extraordinary experience that SAS provides.

Noxontalk all and winter, with Homecoming and the holidays, remind me of that need we all feel to return home. And for me, this position as the editor of the Bulletin feels like settling into the home I have made at St. Andrew's over the past six years. When I began at St. Andrew's, I was a fulltime English teacher, cross-country coach and a dorm supervisor, not to mention a faculty spouse. Since then I have taught creative writing and dance, worked in the college counseling office, tutored and advised students, befriended many, helped coach the first girls' soccer team and written articles for the Bulletin whenever possible. I still live on the dorm in Gaul West with my family and I do my share of providing an egg or Crisco as needed; I still enjoy aiding a student with a passage from Hamlet or a Wordsworth poem. But what I like best, and what I like to think I do best, is to write. I am crazy about the written word and about anything in print. And while finding my home in the publications office has come gradually, in retrospect, the journey I have made to the Richard W. Trapnell III Alumni House makes perfect sense. All the School-wide experiences I have had, and continue to have, with a dorm full of 11th grade girls and a phone that rings constantly for my Dean of Students husband, help inform and arm my editorship. And the fact that I have been writing and interviewing for the Bulletin throughout my six years and especially for the last two, helps ease the transition. Working with the SAS community and alumni is always fascinating. I count my interviews with people such as Holly Whyte '35, Kirk Varnedoe '63, Ken McCullough '61, Ginny DiGennaro, Sandy Ogilby and Dave Washburn '44 as some of my most exciting professional experiences. Statements from Julieta Torres-Hunt and the students, faculty and alumni who contributed to the scholarship article for this issue were equally provocative to me, and hopefully will be to you, too. I am reminded, once again, that when dealing with St. Andrew's people, the possibilities are endless. So, what has become my home, has always been, in one way or another, yours. I invite your ideas, suggestions and contributions.

Y Modern Languages Department Chair Julieta Torres-Hunt, Bridging Cultures Through Language
et another communication gap has been bridged, thanks to Julieta Torres-Hunt, Chair of the Modern Languages Department. Born in Cuba, Julieta calls Spanish her native language, yet she feels just as comfortable speaking French and English. Julieta comes from a family that believes in the power of education. They left Cuba, fleeing Castro, in 1960, just after Julieta was born. "My parents always pressed education with me and my brother, because they feel that it was because they were educated that they were able to begin a new life in America." After a short stay in New York City—"my father could not deal with the winters"— they moved to Puerto Rico. Julieta's father was an accountant, and her mother was a grade-school teacher. Julieta was allowed to begin kindergarten early at age four at her mother's school, and she has been in school ever since. She attended a bilingual (Spanish and English) Catholic school. In seventh grade she was put in a special program called Continental English, which meant that every course, except for Spanish, was taught in English. In high school, she added French to her course load. Julieta was already charting the course of her education. She had two major goals: to attend an American university and to travel to Europe, both of which she fulfilled. Hearing of strikes, political uprisings, and cancelled classes at the University of Puerto Rico, she decided to apply to American schools and chose the one that offered her the most financial aid—Washington University in St. Louis. She headed to the U.S. and learned how to cope with day-to-day existence in English. "I was completely prepared for classroom English; it was functioning outside of the classroom that was difficult."
She double majored in French and Spanish, spent her junior year in France and went on to receive her master's in Spanish at the University of Pennsylvania. But her interest in teaching began before she left Washington University. The language department began instituting the Rassias method of teaching (a teaching method which stresses oral skills), and the school hired native speakers among the students as drill instructors. "That was an amazing opportunity for me. I walked into the classroom and realized, 'Hey, this is where I belong.'" Julieta originally planned to obtain her Ph.D. and teach at the college level, but after observing her brother, who is an associate professor in Spanish at Western Michigan University, confront university politics, she decided to stop with her master's and find a teaching job at a high school. Her first position was at a Catholic girls' school outside Philadelphia called Mount St. Joseph Academy, which gave her an opportunity to relive her Catholic school days. "I kept remembering being in the same position as the students; and it seemed funny, now that the tables were reversed, that I was the one telling them to behave...it was also good for me to see that the nuns were real people, who got sick and had problems just like everyone else." As much as she enjoyed teaching at Mount St. Joseph, Julieta could not make ends meet with her salary, so she began to look for a new job. That was when she learned about a concept called boarding school, and a boarding school called St. Andrew's. "I came to St. Andrew's and fell in love with the place and the people." She applied for a position teaching Spanish; and now, six years later, she is the chair of the Modern Languages Department, teaches French and Spanish, serves as

the corridor master on Lower Moss (where she and her husband, James Hunt, live) and is an aerobics instructor. (James teaches biology, human anatomy and physiology and is the athletic trainer.) "Boarding school is an amazingly intense life. There is no letup from the time you get up until the time you go to bed. But it is wonderful how well you get to know the students and how well they get to know you. They see you in so many roles—as a coach, a teacher, a wife, a corridor master—and I think that is really good for them as well as for us." Julieta found a special kind of student at SAS. "The students here are very motivated, and because they are so driven to learn, I strive to be a better teacher. I want to challenge them. I want them to ask lots of questions and get the most they can out of their education." But each day her greatest goal is the most basic of all -"to get them to speak in the language. I want them to feel that they can talk and express themselves and that it is OK if they make a mistake. I tell my students that I am learning more English every day, so we are teaching each other." Julieta has some strong feelings about the importance of studying other cultures and their languages. "I've always felt that the very least I can do is to make these kids realize that American culture and the English language are not the only way. If I can attract them to the Spanish language or to
French culture, if I can show them that every country has something different to offer, then I think I've cracked the nut a little bit. I think the students at St. Andrew's are so fortunate to have the opportunity to learn a language and to have such talented and dedicated teachers. I want them to see that speaking a foreign language opens so many doors. It has opened up the world for me; I have come to America; I have gone to France; and I have gotten to know French and American people in a way that you cannot learn from a book. You dissolve all the barriers of prejudice and get to know, through people, the way things really are. I hope all of my students can have that experience."
The students here are very motivated, and Because they are so driven to learn, I strive to be a better teacher.

A former teacher and coach at Northfield Mount Hermon School and Choate Rosemary Hall, Darcy received her master's in education from Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she met her husband, Peter. Also, she worked at Harvard Summer School, where she was assistant dean for secondary school students. For the past three years, Darcy has worked at Riverdale Country School teaching English and coaching soccer. ^>y ~ j « Darcy attended Phillips Andover Academy, where she was *• OxCllu\\?@ll active on the soccer, swimming, and lacrosse teams. An English and sociology major at Brown University, Darcy continued her interest in athletics. A four-year member of the varsity soccer and lacrosse teams, she was most valuable player and captain of soccer and an All-Ivy player for three years. During her senior year, she was awarded the Arlene Gorton Cup for sportsmanship in intercollegiate athletics. When she is not teaching English or coaching girls' soccer and lacrosse, Darcy is kept busy with her young twins, Tyler and Alexa. She, Peter and their children live in the restored Noxon House at the end of the pond.
Before coming to St. Andrew's, Peter was responsible for the enrollment of Pre-K through 12th grade students at Riverdale Country School in Bronx, New York, serving as director of admission and financial aid. At Riverdale he also taught American history, served as the assistant director of college guidance and was head coach of varsity boys' soccer. Peter is no stranger to boarding school life.

Weaving the fabric of Our Community... Spinning the Thread of Our Future... SCHOLARSHIP AT ST. ANDREW'S BY DONNA SPEERS Many of us associated with St. Andrew's take for granted one of the School's founding strengths—our scholarship policy. To quote Headmaster Jon O'Brien in his introduction to the School catalogue: It was the intent of the School's Founder that St. Andrew's be made accessible to all, regardless of means. Our commitment to this principle has enabled us to offer admission to a diverse and talented group of applicants, approximately half of whom have received scholarship aid based on need during recent years. We believe such diversity of background and talent strengthens and enriches the fabric of our community and adds a special dimension to a St. Andrew's education. This need-blind admission policy is not only a noble theory, it is a concept that works. St. Andrew's is a unique place; you feel it the moment you are on campus. And that uniqueness, I believe, is directly related to our financial aid policy. Recently, I interviewed several faculty and students to help clarify what it is about scholarship at SAS that helps us weave such a richly textured fabric in, of all places, the cornfields of Delaware. Their insights helped me see how the School, because of its philosophy, has prepared itself to endure and persevere through time, while many private schools simply will not. According to Academic Dean Tad Roach, "One of the things that is happening in America right now which is obviously disturbing all private schools is that, because of the tuition hikes that we are seeing and the financial problems of the country, the middle class is going to be in great trouble trying to send their kids to private schools. At SAS it is not going to get worse because we are also one of the few schools that can offer this type of an education blindly. I think the diversity of the School has a lot to do with how down to earth SAS kids are versus the worst stereotypical preppy who goes to a particular school because it is where everyone goes. I don't sense that we are stuffy in that way. And I think it makes for a school which is much easier for kids who are on scholarship to approach and to enter and to feel comfortable." THE INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION: MAKING THAT OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE TO MORE STUDENTS On the most basic level, St. Andrew's high level of financial aid makes it possible for a greater number of students to receive a superior education. This is an individual benefit— one that affects each student's education on a personal level.
And students do not take this opportunity lightly. "I realize how important it is for me to be here," says Christina Court '92. "Financial aid helped me to get here, and I know I should work hard for that...it's kind of an incentive to do well. Because my parents are paying all that they can and still the School is helping me out, I want to make the best of it here. And I want to go on to college. Being able to come here gives us such a great chance in life." Randy Slaughter '92 says, "I see this as an opportunity that I can't waste; someone else could have been here making a difference and if I'm not using my opportunity, then I'm wasting my opportunity and someone else's, too." When students value their experience this much, it charges the overall atmosphere of the School with positive energy. Interestingly, the quality of the educational experience which each SAS student receives is enriched due to the broader spectrum of students which financial aid helps put on our campus. Randy says, "People are not judged by their backgrounds, but they are bringing their backgrounds into the School, which teaches people how they live." A Fifth Former says, "It's a matter of appreciating the differences rather than looking down upon people because of those differences." And from a faculty perspective, the job of teaching and supervising these students becomes much more interesting. Says Dean of Students Will Speers, "From the classroom and the dormitory, two places that I've been involved with in my 13 years here, it's much more exciting to see these kids interact with kids from all different types of backgrounds. So when you are teaching a text, the class is enriched because the students are not all from the same socio-economic background. It makes teaching that book much more exciting. And the friendships that you see take place in the dormitory are much more valuable and worthwhile and interesting to watch because there's going to be a growth that won't always happen smoothly, but a growth that will happen because of putting so many different types of people together both by racial makeup and socio-economic makeup." It needs to be said that while most of these comments reflect views of students receiving some kind of aid, the financial aid policy affects everyone on and off scholarship in a positive way. And furthermore, once students are on campus, there is no distinction between the two. "There are schools which identify financial aid kids, have them work during the summer, have them do special projects," says Tad Roach. "At SAS it's completely blind; no one knows who it is, and it does not really matter." And from an admission standpoint, all kinds of people choose SAS because of our policy. "I think financial aid is also seen as an appealing aspect of the School to the families with means," says Will continued on page 8

PREP FOR PREP 9 Financial aid at St. Andrew's allows a group of talented, highly motivated young people to participate in the best education available in this country. Prep for Prep 9 is a multi-faceted program which depends on the combined efforts of many people for its success.

Peter Bordonaro, Director of Prep 9, describes the program: Through our talent search, we find some of the brightest and most highly motivated students of color in New York City. Once in the program, the students work with diligence and dedication in our preparatory component in order to ready themselves for the academic rigors of boarding school. Our teachers closely supervise the progress of the students, focus on their skill levels and introduce them to a quality of instruction they have not previously known. Simultaneously, students and their families learn an enormous amount about the merits of a boarding school education and the specific nature of several schools. Our students apply to and are chosen by nine leading boarding schools, including St. Andrew's. In the end, however, all is for naught without the School s financial support. It is the financial aid program at a school such as St. Andrew's which makes all of this effort work. Our students come from families who could rarely afford even a small portion of the tuition at St. Andrew's. A commitment to diversity is a noble goal, but without the financial backing behind it, the commitment is little more than sentiment.
Speers. "They are searching out that diversity themselves. The kids who are attracted to St. Andrew's don't want to go to a school where there are only 10 percent on financial aid. So on both sides of the financial fence, SAS is seen as appealing." How strong is our financial aid policy? And, how does it hold up against other schools in America? "In terms of financial aid," says Will Speers, "SAS is about twice as diverse as almost any other school in the country. Approximately 41 percent of our students are receiving some amount of financial aid, and the average grant is $10,200 toward a $15,500 tuition. Most of the schools in the nation that have a financial aid program are proud to say they offer 25-percent assistance. So we clearly have the ability to offer admission to kids who would not otherwise have that chance." While many students who benefit from financial aid are minority students who are introduced to the School through programs such as Prep 9, a New York City:based minority recruitment organization (see special article), it is important to realize that the majority are not. At the same time, those students who are of color, such as Tami Maull, a member of the Class of 1977 who is now the Director of Annual Giving, benefit from the experience. "In the schools in my hometown," says Tami, "minority children were not expected to excel in class. Coming to SAS allowed me to excel and feel good about myself succeeding academically." And it is the excitement of teaching this kind of student that draws many of our faculty. "The two aspects about the School that appealed to me," says Will Speers, "were its size and its financial aid commitment. I had a professor in college who asked me what kind of school I wanted to be in and why I wanted to be a teacher. And I said that the experiences that I'd had at an upward-bound camp for seven years told me I wanted to be a teacher. He said, 'Well you've got to make sure that you don't turn your back on those kids now.' And coming to St. Andrew's was clearly my way of not turning my back." THE GREATER EDUCATION: MAKING THE WHOLE PERSON By coming to SAS and by getting out of their hometowns, cities and countries, students learn to move beyond prejudices in ways that they might not have at home. "It was culture shock for me when I first came here," says Randy, "because I had never dealt with a white person except for my teachers at public schools in New York City. And I had never met any other white kids my age. Suddenly I was living with three white guys, my roommates. At first we were all so tentative with each other, but we wound up being really good friends." And it goes both ways'. Counselor DyAnn Miller remembers reading a class journal in which a student from a very conservative white family described how she valued her friendship with her black roommate, and how happy she was to be exposed to other backgrounds and lifestyles. Another current student comments, "You realize that there is so much about people that you don't know. You learn to have a real appreciation for their talents...! have no problem saying someone is brighter than I, or richer or a better athlete, because I know there are things that I can do better, too." "SAS has taught me a lot about judging people as individuals," says Randy. Emer O'Dwyer '92 adds, "I am so happy that I have been given the chance to not make a distinction between people."
Strangely, there is something about the setting of St. Andrew's that makes the experience work. It is as if a neutral location such as Middletown, Del., serves as a common ground where backgrounds don't matter; yet they do enrich the lives of all students. "When I met my friend Khalid who is from Saudi Arabia," says Randy, "I didn't even know where Saudi Arabia was, and it didn't matter. We became such good friends and we didn't even acknowledge the differences in our two cultures, in our two societies, because we were in the middle of Middletown, Del., and we had that in common; we built on that. I've met people here from Colorado, North Carolina, Georgia, and California, and everybody seems to hit it right in Middletown; it puts everyone on equal ground." Because there are so few distractions, students are able to focus on the place of St. Andrew's, and that includes people, friendships and our beautiful surroundings. Much of the students' entertainment is self-generated: a heated debate or a walk through the cornfields. "We don't need any materialistic things," says Christina. "We are in the middle of the cornfields, but that helps us get to know people better because we are not worrying about things. And while we don't always know what's happening in the world, we get to know things that are just as important: getting to know ourselves, other people, learning how to react and interact with people." For Emer, the Middletown perspective has even altered her aspirations. "I always thought that I wanted to live in a big city and be a lawyer, to make it big. But I've changed my mind now. It just feels so reassuring being next to this pond in the middle of these cornfields. Maybe I don't need to be in the middle of the city in some high stress job; actually, I like the flavor of Middletown." And everyone, regardless of where he or she originates, becomes part of the St. Andrew's family. Christina counts fellow SAS students among her siblings. "Here we have brothers and sisters by the multitudes, different colors, genders, all thrown together; we learn how to interact with each other and we learn a lot about ourselves when we see reflections of ourselves in other people." Tami Maull says, "I've gotten to know some Prep 9 students who entered this fall, and I've watched them grow. And they're not Prep 9 kids anymore; now they're SAS kids." There are resounding benefits to the kind of social education one receives at SAS. According to Will Speers, "The students here are learning a lot more about themselves because they have challenged themselves to find out more about the people around them." And Christina says, "SAS prepares us for college, but it also prepares us for life." Something that became clear to me as I explored the role of scholarship at St. Andrew's is that while our scholarship policy is exceptional, it means nothing without the School. Scholarship works because of all the elements that work with it: the special kind of student (both scholarship and full-pay) who chooses SAS—energetic, resourceful and open minded, an unusually dedicated faculty and an especially serene setting. St. Andrew's is unique, and its founders had foresight and vision; but what no one could possibly have foreseen is how strongly this vision would fortify the School for a changing economic future, nor could anyone imagine how generations of students would build upon an idea that was planted on the shores of a pond, in the midst of cornfields.
Looking Back ALUMNI SPEAK ON SCHOLARSHIP AND THE ATMOSPHERE IT CREATED AT SAS: George Dunning '39, a "jack of § all trades" who became a purchasing j| agent and who is currently retired, il says that he feels "very firmly that J| SAS did more for me in my 'formaJ| tive' years (I was the youngest in the i| class) than any other institution of its i type could have—the education I § received from Messrs. Holder, Hutton || Schmolze, Voorhees, Tonks, 'Mac,' ijf Sherwood, Cameron and, of course, || Waldy Pell was unique." John Stockly '43, who atI tended SAS for one year before if transferring to a day school on t| Long Island and who, having j served the American Field Jj| Service and the U.S. Army, now j| works as a sales manager for if Robert E. Miller & Co., a manuf| facturer of leveling devices and !| furniture glides in New Jersey, !| says that SAS exposed him to a Jji "talented group of students who, || while not diverse by today's [f standards, did represent a range ifj of economic levels." In fact, j| John felt "overcome by the talII ent and the ambition to succeed" H exhibited by his peers. John is || especially thankful for his expo!| sure to Waldy Pell. "He was a J| very rare person who guided me f| in a whole spectrum of living."
William Crump '44, a retired employee of i Procter & Gamble says, "St. Andrew's financial i assistance was responsible for my education. If jf I had not been able to attend St. Andrew's, I |f would have gone to the local high school (in J rural Maryland), a school that had sent very few j graduates to college.... I believe that my whole j| life has been affected by St. Andrew's School. f| My fellow students, the faculty and the atmoi sphere in general helped me to develop a moral ljj code that I don't think I could have developed •j anywhere else."
j Kim Setze '90, a sophomore at i Northwestern University (someone i who did not receive financial aid), )j says that her "best friends were J both people who were and were j not on scholarship...! met a lot of j people and they met me because i we had financial aid...people who i left where they grew up and were |p exposed to something new that j sometimes changed their whole if attitude." i . „
Hugo Heriz-Smith '85, an electronic pre-press consultant i at Firenze & Company, a publishing and typography firm in I Wilmington, Del., credits his generous financial aid with ! making his education at St. Andrew's possible, an experience j which positively affected his life. "Nearly everything that I j have done that has been exciting has been with people I met j at St. Andrew's...My teachers there were role models. They i were willing to give so much and had so much to give."
John Creadick '52, president of the First Union National Bank of Florida in Augustine, Fla., says that he "couldn't have attended St. Andrew's without [financial aid]." And he believes that the School's enduring scholarship policy is "entirely as it ought to be. Without that you have a country club atmosphere, regardless of the kind of education students are exposed to."
Kamillah Males '90, a sophomore at Georgetown University, says that SAS both "broadened and narrowed my horizons. It broadened them by providing a different environment than anything I was used to—the people, the education, the Eurocentric focus. But it narrowed them by its focus on English. I was always good at math, but at SAS, because I think it stresses English and expression, I learned to explore myself and my feelings about what was going on with me at School and home." Kamillah believes that "SAS educated me about people from other backgrounds." Although she and Kim Setze '90 had very different home lives, they were, and still are, close friends who have learned a great deal from each other. Kamillah believes that "the School's overall reception and understanding of minority students keeps getting warmer and more genuine."
Stewart Barroll '72, a trial lawyer i and partner at Hoon & Barroll in i Chesteitown, Md., says, "There is no !jj question in my mind that the single most || important factor in my education was my J| three years at SAS, and it would not if have been possible without my financial J| aid package—a combination of need and j| achievement." He feels "the social eduJ| cation of SAS was an education within j itself... that being exposed to students J| from different backgrounds and learning i to adapt and deal with the differences j| was a valuable experience." St. Andrew's JJ not only got Stew's education "off on the Jj right foot," it began what became "a patJ| tern of education." He received financial j| aid packages based on need and achieveII ment at Washington and Lee University, i where he received his B.A. in history, !J| and at Wake Forest University, where he j| earned his J.D. Stew is proud to say that i included St. Andrew's in his will.

The Pell Fund - Contributing to Faculty Enhancement ast summer, many faculty continued working on their professional pursuits even after the students went home. John Lyons was a William Robertson Coe Fellow in American Studies at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY). He also worked on curricular development for U.S. History 3-4. Melissa Brown and Timothy Young led a three-week trip through Spain. Tom Sturtevant taught an environmental philosophy class at Sanibel and Pigeon Key in southern Florida as part of a sub-tropical zone ecology course offered by the Maret School in Washington, D.C. Bob Rue and Lois Kim were graduate students at the Bread Loaf School of English, Middlebury College. Lindsay Brown worked on his master of arts in Liberal Studies degree at Dartmouth College. Herve Le Guilloux was a reader for the French A.P. Exam. He also did graduate work at the University of Delaware. Will Speers researched native American writers. Tad Roach attended several conferences, including the Academic Standards/Assessment Conference with Grant Wiggins in Rochester, N.Y., the Conference on School Leadership at Dana Hall School, and a conference at the University of North Carolina's Center for Development and Learning with Dr. Melvin D. Levine. Peter McLean worked on a grant proposal for an environmental program at St. Andrew's. And Bob Stegeman attended the Aspen Institute in Aspen, Colo. These projects were made possible in part by The Walden Pell II Fund and The Faculty Professional Advancement Fund—both components of the Toward the 21st Century capital campaign. St. Andrew's commitment to professional advancement has done more to attract and hold excellent young teachers than any other benefit the School offers. It is a benefit which helps everyone since it also helps junior faculty members improve their abilities as teachers.

on't worry if you thought you were "seeing things" last time you visited campus, especially if what you were seeing were vaguely natural forms made out of man-made materials, covering the hilly point across the pond from the T-dock. It was not an apparition; rather, it is the result of a project Peter Brooke assigned to his sculpture class. Asked to redefine some kind of natural area (trees, slope, bank) with form or color, his students came up with a bird-like progression down the hill, a snake-like creature wrapped around a tree and other creations of canvas, wire and color.

Mathematics teacher Dave Wang recounts the III Form experience: Leaving home to attend St. Andrew's is a big leap for most students â&#x20AC;&#x201D; almost as big as the one this year's Third Formers took when they went to the Echo Hill Outdoor School in September. One of the many physical challenges they faced that weekend was climbing a 40-foot tower, then jumping off the top and sliding along a zip line to the ground. Other tasks included hiking through a swamp, chest-deep in muck, groping along an unfamiliar trail in the darkness of night, and climbing a smooth 14-foot vertical wall, all with the help of their classmates. By working their way through these obstacles together, they were shown that seemingly insurmountable challenges can be overcome with group cooperation and encouragement. The Form returned to St. Andrew's tired, sweaty and reeking of swamp muck, but also a little more ready to face the fall term.

By late July they were off to Banyoles, Spain, for the Junior World Championships. The course, which will be the setting for the '92 Olympics, is located north of Barcelona. The focus of Ashton's coaching responsibilities was a pair without a coxswain, which finished sixth in the world. He co-coached an eight which finished fifth in the world. Ashton will be at it again next summer, coaching women for the world championships in Montreal.

Spanish Trip: A Glimpse of '92
Students gather in the new Senior Room located on the top floor of the Kip duPont Boat House.
ast summer two S AS Spanish teachers ventured overseas with six SAS students to get a jump on the excitement that awaits Spain in 1991. This was the second student trip led by Melissa Brown and the first by Timothy Young. The group consisted of a wide range of Europeanfamiliar students: Drew Virden '92 had lived in Portugal for several years, Lori Unruh '92 had experience in Germany, and Cy Philpott '92 was a veteran of the SAS Spain trip in 1990. For Tricia Harris '92, Fritz McCall '93 and Tyson Kade '92, it was a transatlantic first. However, something tells us that Spain has not seen the last of these Spanish aficionados.

Highlights included the world's largest Gothic cathedral and the nearly completed World's Fair pavillions. After this considerable dose of culture, we spent several days in the quaint beach town of Chipiona on the Costa de la Luz. "It was in this unspoiled pueblo that the students finally realized the rewards of being bilingual. They made some lasting friendships with an energetic group of Sevillian teenagers, learning about each other's culture while spending long days playing soccer and sampling the local seafood. Before leaving Sevilla, the students exchanged addresses and made plans with their Spanish counterparts for future contacts. These students have clearly benefitted from their experience with increased confidence and intercultural enthusiasm in the classroom."

Trustee News New Appointments and Titles
Winthrop deVSchwab '36 After 18 years on the Board, Win has been named Trustee Emeritus. Born in New York City, Win went from St. Andrew's to Yale (where he won his "Y" in wrestling) in 1940 and the Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration in 1942, promptly joining the United States Navy as an ensign the same year. Trained first as a bomb disposal officer, he was assigned almost immediately to sea duty aboard the U.S.S. San Francisco, a heavy cruiser already actively engaged in combat duty since Pearl Harbor. From the time he joined her in the Aleutian Islands in 1943, he served on her decks for three years in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater until he returned on this historic ship as a lieutenant-commander after the Okinawa, Philippines, Yellow Sea, and Iwo Jima operations in the North Pacific, earning himself six battle stars on his campaign ribbon. Beginning his retailing career at Bloomingdale's and Lord & Taylor in New York, he then joined Strawbridge & Clothier in 1951 as assistant to the general merchandise manager, progressing through six years of various merchandising assignments to become manager of the Ardmore store. Subsequent duties as director of merchandise control systems and director of planning and development led to his election in 1965 as vice president and treasurer and a director. Elected an executive vice president in 1969, he assumed additional responsibilities for the operations and personnel divisions in 1976. He was elected vice chairman in 1978 and became chairman of the board in 1981. Win retired after 33 years of service to Strawbridge 14
& Clothier, 19 of which were as chief financial officer and a member of the Board of Directors. He continues his association with the company as a director and a financial consultant. An involved civic leader, Win is a director of the American Retail Federation, past treasurer of the Citizens Council on City Planning, a director of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, past chairman of the Penjerdel Regional Retail Council and present chairman of the Pennsylvania Retailers Association, a director of the Associated Merchandising Corporation, past director of the Green Circle Program, Inc., past president of the Wynne wood Civic Association and a past vestryman of All Saints Episcopal Church in Wynnewood, Pa. He lives in Wynnewood with his wife, Pat. They are the parents of six children: Win, Jr. '66, Katrina, Anne, Eliza, Lucy and John '82. They have seven grandchildren. Win describes his association with St. Andrew's as a "privilege." "I am honored to continue my relationship with the School as a Trustee Emeritus and hope that I can transmit to many others my boundless enthusiasm for the School." The following thoughts are recorded by Win Schwab '36: A small band of St. Andreans remember the first days of the School when Founder Felix duPont, Sr., could take the whole graduating class for a weekend on his yacht on the Chesapeake Bay; when founding Bishop Philip Cook confirmed us with a heavy hand and when founding headmaster Walden Pell II was his own admission director, chaplain, crew coach, teacher, secretary and much else. I still have the two-page, single-spaced, personally typed letter that he sent to my parents at the end of a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;as he did to all parents. 1 am embarrassed to say that among his remarks about my performance at the School, he says, "His besetting sin is laziness and the lack of capacity to be aroused to heroic discipline." Well, Walden Pell was a man of heroic discipline. I reflect on how earnestly and successfully he nurtured the new School; I count him and his wife, Edith, among modern day saints. When I happened to move to Philadelphia from New York in 1951,1 became close enough to St. Andrew's to become involved with the then developing Alumni Association. By 1955, I was involved in one of the many committees planning the program for the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the dedication ofSAS. From then on, whether or not I was an officer, I used to attend meetings of the Alumni Association and its successor Corporation until my election as a trustee in 1972.

). Kent Sweezey '70
John L.M. "Cap" Roberts has previously served SAS as Reunion Gift Chair for his class's 25th reunion in 1987, a drive in which he led the class to a new reunion gift record. He also chaired the 1988 Alumni/ae Annual Fund. As a student in the Class of 1962, he was a prefect, supervisor of the old South Dorm, and coeditor of the Cardinal. He organized and captained St. Andrew's first track team which participated in the 1962 Delaware State Championships, one man strong. A graduate of Brown University, he is active as an investor in start-up companies and is aligned as an advisor to foreign institutions seeking entry into the U.S. market. For many years, he was the international director of the Young Presidents Organization (YPO). During his career, he has also served as a member of the Board of Admissions at Brown, a trustee of the British-American Educational Foundation and was instrumental in securing the funding to ensure the participation of The Tall Ships in the American Bicentennial. A native of Oxford, Pa., Cap and his wife, Rennie, are long-time residents of Manhattan. Rennie is a corporate officer of the American Express Company and senior vice president in charge of human resources. They have two young children, Nicholas, 10, a student at The AllenStevenson School, and Serena, 8, a third grader at Spence. Both Cap and his wife are extensively involved in volunteer service to charitable organizations, particularly those committed to children and the vision impaired. Cap states: "It is clear that the torch of stewardship is being passed from the Founder's family to the sons and daughters of St. Andrew's. I hope to be a bearer of that torch so that its flame will endure for future generations."
Kent Sweezey is a managing director in the Dallas corporate finance office of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette (DLJ), a New York-based investment banking firm. Kent has been with DLJ since the opening of the Dallas office in 1984. Previously, he spent three years in Dallas with Rotan Mosle Inc., a regional investment banking firm specializing in the oil and gas industry. Kent began his career with Blyth Eastman Dillon in New York. Since joining DLJ, he has worked on a variety of financings and acquisition/divestiture assignments for companies in the oil and gas and consumer products industries and led restructuring/recapitalization assignments for such Southwest-based companies as Dr Pepper/Seven-Up, National Gypsum and Fairfield Communities. Kent received a B.A. from Duke University, a J.D. from the School of Law of Southern Methodist University, and an M.B.A. from the Darden School of the University of Virginia. He is a trustee of the Scholarship Fund of St. John's Episcopal School in Dallas. While a student at St. Andrew's, Kent worked on the yearbook and the Cardinal staffs and served as head job boy and lector in the chapel. He graduated cum laude. Kent has served as class agent. As a trustee and alumni chairman of the '91-'92 Annual Fund, Kent hopes to be able to reinvolve many St. Andrew's alumni and to raise the profile of St. Andrew's in the charitable contribution planning of all alumni. To achieve this goal, Kent believes St. Andrew's will continue the work already underway to identify those forms of alumni activities and alumni communication which will elicit consistent and meaningful support.

vy Makotanyane, a math and science teacher from St. Mark's College in South Africa (a nonracial school outside Pretoria with which St. Andrew's has a companion relationship), was on campus in September. Ivy, who is originally from Northern Transvaal and whose native language is Northern Soueto, began visiting the U.S. in August when she arrived to enroll for the fall semester as a student at the University of Delaware. During her visit (which ended in December), she visited public schools to observe different teaching styles.

Concert on Campus hen singer/songwriter Doug James '69 visited campus in October, he entertained the School with live renditions of his more popular songs, including the song that hit #1 on the charts, "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You," which he wrote with Michael Bolton. He also shared stories of the ups and downs of his career. As parting advice, he urged students to make their own decisions and to avoid being swayed by what's popular or "in." He also demystified stardom saying, "It's no different [at the top]. The same questions are still there...I'm still looking for the answers."

Admission Update he Admission Office reports another busy and productive year. In fact, we had more visits in October and November than we had during our record-setting fall of 1990. Director of Admission Peter Caldwell attributes our success to increased exposure and positive word of mouth by satisfied parents and alumni. We have had an overwhelming response from parents offering to host tea receptions. As a result, Ripley Greppin, our traveling officer, has visited with parents in the following states: New York, Florida, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Delaware, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Massachusetts, California, Tennessee and North Carolina. Peter thanks all of the hosts and hostesses for their efforts in organizing these receptions. The Admission Office welcomes anyone with names of prospective students to call or write the School. On September 4, Randy Williams '61 hosted a reception in his New York City apartment for new students from New York to meet members of the St. Andrew's community. All those who attended were delighted to establish contact before the opening day of school. We hope to expand on this idea of orientation receptions next fall.

impossible. News of his death has brought much sadness to his family and friends around the country, especially those in Delaware. The sadness felt in the hearts of his friends is surpassed only by their regretâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a regret that they never had the chance to tell Ernie how proud they were.
IN MEMORY
Ernie '85 and Ripley Greppin
Ernest H. Greppin, III '83 Ernie Greppin died in a parachute training accident in San Diego, Calif., on July 15,1991. The following is Senator Roth's (Del.) statement in the Congressional Record of August 2: Mr. Roth: Mr. President, it has come to my attention that a tragic accident has claimed the life ofLTJG Ernest Haquette Greppin III USN. Ernie came to Delaware in 1982 when he entered his fourth form or sophomore year at St. Andrew's. There he became a part of the school and a part of his classmates. After graduation while the rest of his class was preparing to attend schools like Princeton, Harvard, and Columbia, Ernie was preparing to enter the U.S. Naval Academy. As a midshipman, Ernie Greppin studied and trained for what was to be his role as an officer in the U.S. Navy. Not satisfied with merely being an officer, Ernie entered and completed the Navy SEAL training program, the most difficult of the special forces programs. His desire to serve his country was made clear when he was asked by classmates concerned for his safety what his role would be during the war with Iraq. Ernie's reply spoke volumes on his devotion to his country and the stature of his character. "I wont be going over to Iraq," he said, "but I wish 1 were." Ernie Greppin achieved a great deal that few could have imagined possible. His friends, however, came to know that for Ernie nothing was 18
Faculty member Ripley Greppin wrote the following in tribute to her brother, Ernie: Our dad used to joke that he and Mum had done their job "for God and for Country" by producing a Navy SEAL and a religion teacher. Ernie and I would just look at each other and laugh at the joke being told for the thousandth time. We are very different children, and in all honesty I do not think that we really learned to appreciate each other's differences until we both went away to school. But the relationship that has developed is a special one, and one that I will always treasure. Ernie did not have it easy growing up with me. With me as his big sister, he had to stumble along in the footprints that I planted. His foot was never the same size as mine, nor were his legs ever the same length, so the footprints were uncomfortable to follow. I think that the first time I ever noticed that Ernie could make his own footprints was when he became a caddy at the Dedham Club. Golf became "Ernie's thing." He was really good at it, and I was not. Swallowing my bruised big-sisterly pride, I watched as my little brother developed his own identity. He collected golf balls. A quirky habit it might have been, but Ernie turned it into a pastime. He would leave early on Saturday and Sunday mornings, ready to carry as many bags around as many holes as his rapidly growing body could handle. But the thrill of the day would come when the golfers had gone home and Ernie could don his mucky old Converses to wade through the creeks and ponds of the course. He would arrive home in the evenings triumphantly displaying his newest "insignia" balls amongst the hundred or so balls he had gathered to add to his collection. There must be a thousand balls still sitting in our attic. I keep one in my desk drawer; it rattles every time I open the drawer, and it makes me smile. A new love of travel and an agenda as huge as the world's biggest dream began to develop when Ernie went off to the Fessenden School in the eighth grade. He knew, even back then, that he was going to go to the Naval Academy. It would be a reachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an enormous reachâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but Ernie was not to be discouraged. St. Andrew's School would bring Ernie a step closer to his goal. St. Andrew's was where the good stuff started to continued on page 19

he entire student body watched with the trustees and other supporters of the pool as the first spades of dirt were ceremoniously turned on December 12th, making way for the School's new swimming pool.
Located behind the old laundry and now Art Studio, the centerpiece will be a 25-yard competition pool surrounded by bleachers and locker rooms. Weather permitting, construction will begin in early 1992 to deliver the facility for the '92-'93 swim season. Major commitments for the construction of the facility have come from trustees, alumni, parents and Delaware foundations. While there are undesignated and unrestricted gifts and pledges that could be used to complete the construction costs, fundraising for the pool will continue in hopes that some of the unrestricted and undesignated dollars can be applied to faculty enhancement and scholarship endowment.

happen. It happened slowly, mind you. He was still a quirky kid with a huge golf ball collection and big dreams when he came here. In fact, as a teacher here, I still hear stories about my little brother that are reassuring in that he did not move to Delaware and become "perfect." But Ernie found a niche here. It is that same niche that I talk about to prospective families: an acceptance of who you are, a concern for the individual, and a commitment to the growth of every individual here make St. Andrew's the unique place that it is. With the friendship and advisement of people like Dave Washburn, Ashton Richards and Joan O'Brien, and the bonds formed with classmates like Kurt Von Urff and Ian Montgomery, Ernie developed a sense of self-confidence that empowered him to reach for his dreams. An appointment to the Naval Academy came, as did the acceptance letter, and Ernie proved himself capable of more than his family had ever given him credit for. We all stood up and took notice. It was during Ernie's time at the Naval Academy that I came to teach here at St. Andrew's School. Since we had gone to different boarding schools and always needled each other over which school was really "best," Ernie was quick to point out that my decision to come to SAS was the ultimate proof that his school was truly the "best." Most of Ernie's visits during my first years here involved bringing up a bunch of teammates from the Navy's crew program, eating me out of house and home, and then spending the rest of the day sprawled out in front of the TV set. I would usually come back from the boathouse in the mid-afternoon to find a bunch of bodies stretched out across my living room, with empty Pop-tart boxes and Gatorade bottles scattered all over the floor. The boys would wake up around 5:00 p.m., tell me what a great visit they had had, and assure me that they would be back again the following weekend. In 1989, Ernie graduated from the Naval Academy and went on to become a Navy SEAL with Team 2. My little brother - a NAVY SEAL!!! He graduated from SEAL School on the same day that I ran my first marathon—knowing what he had gone through during "Hell Week" was the only thing that got me up Heartbreak Hill!!! Our footprints now inspired each other. Ernie's pride in this country and his determination in standing up to the greatest challenges life can offer will always be an inspiration to me and to all those lucky enough to have known him. There was a power and a desire that drove Ernie. I am very proud to be his sister. I will always love him like crazy. I miss him.
"Time like an ever rolling stream..." I recognized the voice on the phone immediately. I Mr. Mein. I thought, "What a nice surprise!" In his calm, reassuring voice, which had guided me and many of us through tough times in our school days, he brought the toughest time of my adulthood crashing into reality. Ernie Greppin had been killed in a training accident on Monday during a jump from 12,000 feet, the voice said. His parachute did not open. It was as simple as that: one minute he was a part of my life—the next, he was gone. One day I spoke to him about whether he would wear a tail coat or uniform to my wedding—two weeks later I didn't have to worry about it any longer. Ernie was buried near his home in Boston the following Monday in true naval style. There was a private burial in the morning which only his family and the SEALS attended. In the afternoon he was remembered in a style which caused the heart of every St. Andrean, and every American, to swell with pride. Kurt Von Urff and I led the procession into the Episcopal Church in Dedham, Mass., carrying the crosses, followed by the naval color guard, the naval chaplains, and the Greppins. The church, the Parish Hall, and the church yard were filled to overflowing with friends, family, St. Andrew's faculty and alumni and naval personnel. During the service, we sang that favorite hymn, "O God Our Help in Ages Past." The second verse never rang truer to me than that day in Dedham. It reads, "Time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away." Time had born its son Ernie away. I had the pleasure of knowing Ernie during his three years at SAS. He entered the IV Form in 1982. During his time at school, he was a threeletter athlete (cross-country, wrestling and crew), a proctor on "C" Corridor, and an active member of almost all of the chapel organizations. I had the honor to be his roommate in the V Form, his wrestling partner, his co-worker in the chapel, and his boatmate at Henley 1985. Ernie did his very best in all he did at St. Andrew's School. During the years we spent at SAS, the goal which kept Ernie going through some not-so-easy times was to become a naval midshipman. He did this. At Annapolis, Ernie became a great officer and a great man. Above all, he was always a great friend. The thing which hurts the most is that we have all lost a great friend. Ernie, we are proud of you!
NOTE: A fund has been established by Ernie's family and friends to raise money for a new eight-man shell to become the first boat, in honor of Ernie Greppin. All contributions are welcome. Checks should be made payable to St. Andrew's School and marked for the "Greppin Boat Fund."

Dave Bradley is a general construction inspector for the Massachusetts Department of Public Works currently inspecting work on 1-395. He is also the pastor for churches in Easthampton and Dudley and vice president of the local rotary club. He amuses himself with a newly acquired transit with which he takes sightings and works out the azimuth. He also tends to a few bee hives. A busy man is David. Findley Burns and his wife, Martha, spent three weeks in China and Hong Kong in June and spent the summer in Santa Fe, N.M. They were planning to visit Holly Whyte in New York in the fall. Stan Felver, now a retired Professor Emeritus of English from the State University at Chico, Calif., helps out with the friends of the Meriam Library and the Janet Turner Print Gallery at the University and is planning trips to New Mexico and Paris in the spring. Elmer Scott has been retired for several years from Memphis State University where he taught physical education. He now resides in Memphis and says he's not doing much. Bud Steele has retired from the Bank of Delaware. He lives in Dover and has a son in the Air Force. Since retiring, he has found a great demand for his services at various institutions but has finally gotten whittled down to the Hospital Board and the Board of Trustees of the Diocese. Holly Whyte has been in and out of the hospital and is undergoing therapy to get his strength back. He is at home in his Brownstone in New York recovering from a year and a half of medical procedures. He is working on a new book about doctors and hospitals, something he now knows a lot about. His book will focus on hospital and patient life from the patient's point of view, including some problem areas, such as the patient's "radius of accessibility" and the long waiting lines for the elevator. Wife Jenny Bell is busy creating and showing museum pieces to wear, making beautiful evening gowns out of old, and sometimes ancient, fabrics. She recently had a successful showing in Boston. Class Agent: Ches Baum, 524 Marlin Drive, Punta Gorda, FL 33950 Here are some great notes from Ches Baum: Alan Baldwin, whose health problems slowed down his tennis somewhat this past summer, says that the
chief enjoyments for Peg and him at this time are his children and 11 grandchildren, all of whom are living and prospering within a three-hour drive of Alan in Martinsville, Va. Those readers who own a Random House Desk Encyclopedia are reminded that Loring Batten served as one of the editors of that project after his retirement. When I talked to him this fall, he was just putting to bed the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island's newsletterjournal that he has edited (as a volunteer) since 1984. This was his last issue. Loring said he was not reluctant to relinquish the job, though I sensed something of the tone Tennyson had created for King Arthur: "The old order changeth, yielding place to new, / And God fulfills himself in many ways, / Lest one good custom should corrupt the world." In response to a question from me about the loss of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, Loring said that he has become reconciled to the new one and sees it as easier for young people and those coming to us from other denominations. He said that there are still a few people in his diocese who bemoan the loss of the 1928 Book, but "they will soon be removed by the hand of God." George Cumpston recalled, incidentally, that Loring Batten's mother had been the organist of a parish in Virginia of which George's father had been rector many years ago. George reports that he is now licensed to sell real estate in North Carolina and spends Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at a real estate office writing lots of letters and doing various other things for the purpose of making his first sale. In October, Eileen was visiting their first grandchild, Elena, who was born in August in Tucson, Ariz. George reported that he stopped off in Wilmington after a business trip to New York and enjoyed lunch with Chuck Silliman Chuck says that things have remained much the same for him after his report in the 55th Reunion Booklet. After his last writing project, a geneaology of the Silliman family, he finds that his days are pretty well taken up with routine, but mainly pleasant, chores. Chuck says that he had a great time talking over old days when George called on him last summer. Bill Evans continues to live the life of leisure in Elkton, Md. He says^he loves retirement and misses the practice of law not at all. "Lawyers nowadays," he says, "are a dime a dozen, and that's about what they're worth." When I talked to Bill in October, he was getting ready to go upland bird hunting on a game farm in Wye Mills, Md., over the "best hunting dog" he has ever ownedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a setter he acquired at considerable expense from Arkansas some years ago. The second best dog he ever had he got for nothing when it walked half starved onto his property. As he warmed to the subject of dogs, he recalled that there were 28 dogs buried on the Evans' property, each with its own headstone. Twelve of these were hunting dogs. Bill no longer shoots geese. He said that on one hunt in 1964 he shot so many that he has never shot another. He had reached his lifetime limit. When he was asked what he has done of interest recently, Charley Mifflin replied as did most of his classmates: "Just the same old thing." Then he admitted, as had most of the others, that this was not strictly true. In September, he accompanied his wife, Katherine, whose work for the National Cancer Institute takes her all over the world, to a conference in St. Andrew's, Scotland. They stayed in a dorm (formerly the Hampton Hotel) of St. Andrew's University. Their room overlooked the 18th tee of the Old Course, and during their stay they were able to see Sean Connery
playing in a tournament. Charley learned from the dean of admissions at St. Andrew's University that their institution is recruiting students from the U.S. When Charley said that people from St. Andrew's University stated somewhat superciliously that they had never heard of St. Andrew's School, he replied that as far as he knew people at our St. Andrew's had never heard of theirs—at least, not as a place looking to recruit American students. Walker Mifflin still lives on the family farm two miles north of Little Creek in Kent County, Del. He continues to restore and maintain the farmhouse, which began life back in the 1840's as one room. Walker says that architectural notice has been taken recently of these Delaware frame farmhouses that have grown interestingly over the years. Walker has managed to squeeze a three-hole golf course into four acres of the farm—no water holes, unless it rains and leaves the occasional pond. Win Schwab writes that he and Pat had a minireunion with Ed Swenson early in October when Ed's son was married in what used to be the BellevueStratford and is now an office building with what sounds like the old ballroom on the top floor. Win, as we all know, continues his remarkable career of service as a trustee of the School. It's hard to think that after 18 years on the board, Win maintains his youthful zeal and activity, yet that is just what he does. His classmates know that, when Win described himself in the 55th Reunion Booklet as essentially unchanged from his student days, he was talking about a guy they admired then and admire now. Ed Swenson is moving his office from Miami to Coconut Grove. This, according to Ed, will reduce the distance of his commute and fit in with his plan to start winding down some of his business activities. If Ed does wind down, those of us who observed his undiminished energy at last spring's reunion assume that something will rush in to fill any vacuum. In fact, he is already planning a campaign for new Planned Parenthood clinics to be established in inner-city areas, where the adolescent birthrate is double what it is in the rest of the country. I suspect that any classmates interested in helping Planned Parenthood would do well to talk with Ed, although he didn't solicit publicity (such as it is!) through Class Notes. Charley Thackery is living in Jupiter, Fla. I have not yet succeeded in reaching him by phone, but when I do, I'll see what I can find out to pass along. Sid Whelen could not—as the messages say—come to the phone just now. Mary told me when I called in late October that he and some of the men had gone to the far fields to do the things that farmers have to do during the first rainfall for five months in that part of California. But Mary had lots of good news. She and Sid continue to love life on their organic farm (my recollection has them there for over 40 years). They have a great apple crop this year, but so does everybody else. Still they have a loyal clientele who appreciate having the organically grown fruit. Their first lamb was dropped two days ago, and lambing will keep them all busy for a while now. So will another traditional activity on their farm. For years children have been visiting the Whelens to see what takes place on a real farm. Now some 30 pre-schools and kindergartens in the area schedule their visits well in advance. Mary says that the kids get to pick some apples and eat one right in the orchard. Mary and Sid are contemplating reducing some of their activities. Ideally they would like to turn much of the farming operation over to someone else and continue to live in their house on the property. It's
obvious that the Whelens don't see retirement as getting away from a scene of servitude. All of their children, save one who lives relatively nearby in the Santa Barbara area, have made their way to the Pacific Northwest, where they are apparently leading happy and productive lives. One might say that Patty, their youngest, is upholding a Whelen tradition. After having acquired degrees in music, she has decided that she wants to be active in life-or-death issues and has accordingly enrolled in the Law School of Lewis and Clark University to become an environmental lawyer. Your class agent, Baum, has found a sort of fountain of youth in Florida. Where? How? In the local community theater. Last April, I played (not very well) a 90-year-old Jewish artist in a play called Social Security. This fall I am rehearsing the role of a quintessentially WASP poet in his 70 's in the play Painting Churches.

SAS Class of 1940! Volunteer to write class notes for the Bulletin, maintain support for the Annual Fund, and energize the class for reunions. Away back in September, 1935, the Class of '40 arrived at St. Andrew's. To use the cliche, we were a motley crew— seventeen children, all about thirteen, and all scared. Second Form for us was one round of getting beaten on, raising hell after lights, being dosed with the immortal "Tiger's" varsity swat, and trying to see whether or not we would be the ones to beat the system. Excerpt from the 1939 Criss Cross History of the Class of 1940 There are seventeen classmates today: John "Jack" Boyden, Peter "Fitz" Brown, John "Puth" Clarke, Thomas "Buck" Donaldson, Henry "Hank" Gibson, Ogden "Og" Gorman, Benjamin "Ben-bud" Houston, James "Eccy" Johnston, C.

The caption stated that it was a tractor. Arthur Dodge '41 in Lancaster, Pa., informed us that "it is a mower, not a tractor.

daughter Erica's wedding at the Casteel in the suburbs. After a few days, we returned to Luxembourg and the U.S. via Icelandic Air. A wonderful scenic trip and a successful family reunion. "Four days after our return, we were playing in a tennis party, and I felt dizzy and passed out. Fortunately, I was playing next to a cardiologist; he said I had no pulse for two minutes. He revived me with CPR and chest poundings, and I am back alive. After two hospitals, my vital signs are OK and getting stabilized. After an angiogram, I had angioplasty in two arteries. Monday, I get another vein catheter into the heart to check the electrical functions. If all goes well, I get out of here (Bryn Mawr Hospital)." Art Dodge was intrigued to see the photo in the Spring 1991 Bulletin of Evert van Buchem and Alfons Gunnemann taken in Detmold, Germany.

Morgan and wife Sally headed for Seattle last summer to visit their daughter, Ann, and to view the wonders of Glacier National Park for the first time. Paul Fitzpatrick recently reported on a cruise he had taken from San Francisco to Tahiti, with a stop at Hawaii on the return leg. Harry Sullivan writes that since retirement in 1987 he and his wife, Joan, spend about five months of each winter cruising in their 42-foot ketch. Their beat has encompassed the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, the Leewards and, most recently, the Windward Islands and Venezuela. They're at home in Sewickley in late spring and fall, and they summer on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. It's a schedule they hope to continue as long as health permits. 44 Class Agent: Tom Tucker, 1009 Middleton Place, Knoxville, TN 37923-6345

SAS Class of 1942! Volunteer to write class notes for the Bulletin, maintain support for the Annual Fund, and energize your class for your 50th Reunion. Do you remember Second Form? The following is from the 1942 Yearbook: "Eleven scared little boys, Ted Burton, George Buzby, Jim Crichton, Bob King, Joe Littell, Tommy Saunders, Don Murray, Clarance Townsley, Bill Reeve, and Noel Austin, came down to dinner the first night of school in September, 1937. This scared attitude stuck with us throughout the year since the upper forms' persecutions were then strongly in force; we considered ourselves lucky if we only had three laundries to carry on Friday mornings instead of five." Class Agent: Morgan MacDonald, 700 Far Hills Avenue, Dayton, OH 45419 Morgan MacDonald writes: As a Class, we need to turn our thoughts to our 50th Reunion which is scheduled for early June of 1993. Notes already have come from Jay Kinahan, Paul Fitzpatrick and Noel Dalton, all expressing interest in the event. Hopefully, we will be able to assemble a full contingent, including wives. As you may know, the School makes much of class reunions and is most hospitable. Any thoughts you may

They plan to remain there until June 1994, when they will retire to a house they just bought in the mountains of Cashiers, North Carolina. Gregory Gibson is retired and fishing at the shore in New Jersey. 50 Class Agent: Stu Bracken, 1401 Rose Valley Way, Ambler, PA 19002 When Bill Bathurst was in the hospital following surgery, he was visited by Henry Wilson and David Humphries '48, who are doctors in Charlotte, N.C. .J 1 Class Agent: Dave Lindsay, 4 Glenwood Road, Colts Neck, NJ 07722 Seventeen members (50%) of the Class attended our 40th Reunion. In attendance were: Bob Auersch, Dave Bryan, Dick Corbin, Sam Fleming, Al Good, Ted Guthery, John Halsted, Skip Hartman, Dave Lindsay, Tom Osborn, Tom Patton, Pete Pell, Barry Register, Tom Robinson, Dave Scherer, Fred Starr and Bill Whitehead. There were also many lovely wives in attendance. Most classmates were recognizable after a little study, except Pete Pell. Some suggested that he was an imposter! Tom Robinson got in a shell and rowed like he was still in school. Dick Corbin looked every bit the college professor, pipe and all. Sam Fleming competed in the Saturday morning 3-mile run. Tom Patton, being an Eastern Shore boy, ate the most crabs at the Friday night crab feast. It was great to see Ches Baum '36, teacher and coach of many of our class members, at the reunion. I might add that he was wearing the flashiest clothes you can imagine. What a memory he has....for names and things that happened way back in 1947-51. Lee and Bob Auersch have one son, currently attending law school at the University of Indiana. Bob has spent the past 34 years with 3M with sales supervisory responsibility in the Northeast. He and Lee take great joy in vacationing every summer in Wellfleet, Mass., on Cape Cod, where they intend to retire within the next several years. Jane and Ed Clattenburg have three sons. Ed has spent his whole working career in the life insurance business. He is currently self-employed and represents a number of life insurance companies.

Al is a civilian pilot, who enjoys taking first timers up at night to view Disneyland and freeway cloverleafs from above. He has always had a great interest in music and has sung at the Crystal Cathedral. He is looking forward in the near future to using his talented voice for voiceovers and cartoon voices. Dick Corbin has two sons. He has spent his career
as an English professor at Colorado State College, the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., and Georgia Tech. Dick has a broad range of interestsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;horticulture, music, theater, pre-'45 art, traveling, movies, reading, cycling, tennis and hiking. He has three exuberant springers. Nancy and Hall Downes have one daughter, who is married and works for the Los Angeles County Art Museum. Hall received his medical degree from Harvard and his doctorate in Pharmacology at the University of Utah. For the past 22 years, he has been teaching and doing research at the Oregon Health Science University. Hall is interested in ancient history. He walks for 50 minutes to and from work every day, rain or shine. Jack Fiedler went on a safari in South Africa last fall, where he shot three impala, one kudu and a bushbuck in Northern Zululand, but he could not get anyone in his family to eat the impala burgers. He skippered a sloop in a U.K.-France race. He has restored a number of old cars and is currently sitting on a 1935 Bentley. Jack has four children.

40th Reunion
Class Agents: Cale Boggs, 50 Marsh Woods Lane, Wilmington, DE 19810; Ted Hill, 21 7 Pheasant Run Drive, Paoli, PA 19301; Herndon Werth, 434 E. 58th Street, 6A, New York, NY 10022 After 26 great years of flying with Pan Am, Cale Boggs has been accepted by Delta Airlines to finish out his career. He adds, "Any classmates flying Delta en route to our 40th Reunion next June—just stick your head in the cockpit and say 'hello,' and I'll fix you up with a window seat. Looking forward to a well-attended reunion." Cale is piloting jets from the U.S. to Germany. Will Johnson suffered a stroke last summer and, after eleven weeks of hospitalization, returned home. With the help of his wife, Georgia, and his sons (one married and living nearby, one a student at and one just graduated from Virginia Tech), Will is again walking and undergoing intensive (and painful) therapy to regain the use of his left arm. Herndon Werth and several classmates have talked with Will, and he plans to attend the 40th Reunion. Will welcomes letters (14618 Algretus Drive, Centreville, VA 22020— south of D.C., near Manasas) and phone calls (703-830-3277). Herndon adds this note: "Cale Boggs has joined Ted Hill as co-class agent. I have become the class secretary. Send news, good and bad, of yourselves and your families. News has been sparse — (hint, hint). Ted, Cale and I are looking for helping hands to plan our 40th Reunion."

Argentina, where I was manager of Occidental's operations. It was most interesting to experience firsthand the country's return to democracy under President Alfonsin and even more so to witness the dramatic economic changes being introduced by President Menem, who, of all things, is a Peronist. "Also while there, I took full advantage of the excellent fishing and hunting the country has to offer, particularly fly fishing for trout in Patagonia, where we have built a nice cabin to be enjoyed during our retirement years (if and when we can afford it). "We have three children, two boys and a girl aged 28, 26 and 25, respectively. Our oldest son, Harry, recently married a delightful Argentine girl and both are working in the movie industry in Hollywood. David and Tracie both live and work in Dallas. "I still go to Ocean City, Md., frequently to visit my mother. I usually see Ed Hammond '60 and J.D. Quillin '56 when there."

35th Reunion
Class Agents: George Brakeley, 98 Winfield Lane, New Canaan, CT 06840; Bob Shank, 3894 Red Lion Road, Bear, DE 19701; Bill Wood, 202 Royalview Drive, West Chester, PA 19382 After more than two years in London, England, where he set up the international television division for Carolco Pictures, John Ranck and his wife, Barbara, moved back to Greenwich, Conn., in January, 1992. He said it will be good to be home. An update from George Brakeley reads: This is a first in our 35 years since graduation: news from Fred Case, who, although he has never missed a single year of annual giving, has otherwise kept a very low profile. Fred owns and heads up several companies—Case Edwards Companies, which builds apartments all over the Eastern Shore; and Case Design/Remodeling, the seventh largest such firm in the U.S., both headquartered in Bethesda, Md. Fred has two sons, 23 and 24, from his first marriage and two daughters, 5 and 7, from his second. He and Carolyne live in Chevy Chase. Alumni Day 1991 was not exactly overwhelmingly attended by '57, but George Brakeley was on hand for various Annual Fund meetings in the morning, and Bob Shank and one of his grandsons arrived for the football game. Bob, by the way, has no fewer than seven grandchildren. Not only is that the most grandchildren of anyone in the class, but they may be the only grandchildren in the class. Or are they? Let's hear from any other grandpas. The evening before, George and Bill Wood got together in Wilmington to talk about our 35th Reunion

Year Annual Fund, in which we are working toward a goal of $16,000. If we get there, we will have set the all-time record for a 35th reunion class (one of only a series of records we've set along the way). Bill, Bob and George are our three class agents, and you'll be hearing from one of them during the course of the academic year. As we make phone calls looking for material for these columns, it becomes painfully clear that a lot of us have let the School's file on our addresses and phone numbers get badly out of date. If it's been awhile since you updated the file, it would be helpful all around for you to do so by dropping a note to the Alumni Office.

30th Reunion
Class Agent: Larry Court, 232 Owensville Road, West River, MD 20778 Captain John St. C. Craighill took command of the U.S.S. South Carolina (CGN-37) on July 19, 1991, at Trophy Park, Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia. If the Navy doesn't have him at sea, he'll be at the 30th. Rodger Melling caught Loudon Wainwright '65 live at "Mountain Stage" in May. "He was hilarious, irreverent, slightly ribald, as usual. Those of you that follow public radio may be familiar with the program, which West Virginia Public Radio produces for American Public Radio, and which is carried by 110 stations nationwide. For those of you who have never heard our program, it is a live, two-hour, musical variety show, with styles varying from Afropop to Zideco and performers from around the world. "I won't be able to make reunion weekend this year. I know that the School will miss two dedicated men with the retirement of Messrs. Washburn and Ogilby." Richard Baer reports: Richard "Little" Baer and wife Sunny are weathering high tides and the recession in beautiful downtown Kill Devil Hills, N.C. Richard has a property management firm, serves on the local school board, and is constantly on the road going to sons' (Luke and Alex) soccer games and ferrying daughter, Zoe, to dance class or birthday parties. He
has promised to bring peanuts to the 30th Reunion as that was most requested of him at the 25th. Tim Bayard (and wife Mona) in Wilmington, Del., is still our closest classmate to dear, old Middletown. Tim is really doing a lot of aviation photography and still working out of his own home. Mona uses her social work background to counsel victims referred through the Wilmington Police Department. Their daughter, Claire, is a tenth grader at our old nemesis, Wilmington Friends School. Jim "Zeno" Beverley and wife Diane still reside in South Miami, where Jim teaches in the Miami public school system. Their sons, Eric and Mark are in the tenth and eighth grades, respectively. Jim attributes his life as a successful soccer coach and law teacher to the inspiration provided by such people as Dave Washburn and Bob Colburn. Now the dean of Dade County high school soccer coaches in Florida, Jim has coached for more than 20 years. His career record within two or three games and without the ties last spring was 152-58. Many of his pupils have returned to the schoolyard after graduation and have become head coaches or coached in one form or another in Dade. "We call them 'The Bever's Dozen,'" Jim says. He is currently at Palmetto High. He's a teacher more than anything and uses soccer as a vehicle to teach larger lessons. They visit with Little Baer every summer on their annual trek to Cape Hatteras. Larry "Big Lar" Court and wife Kathy live on the western shore of Maryland, but they have become almost permanent fixtures at SAS now that their two sons, Brian and John, are enrolled there. This will be an extra special reunion for Larry, because his sons will graduate with the Class of 1992. Larry is working overtime as a representative for Procter & Gamble to keep up those tuition payments. His big request for the 30th Reunion is for someone to please bring his favorite Redd Foxx record back. Baer has promised to honor that request. Paul "P.K." Kuehner and wife Eileen are down home on their farm just outside of Allentown, Pa. After 23 years both in marketing with IBM and in marriage to Eileen, he says IBM is starting to bore him but he is ready for 23 more with Eileen. Their daughter, Elizabeth, is a junior at Moravian College; and their son, Joel, is a junior in high school. Paul is going to try to make the 30th Reunion, IBM willing, and questioned whether Baer was going to bring his knife. Baer pretended to be offended. Jim "Squat" Watt and wife Maryann, denizens of the metropolis of Pottsville, Pa., have their hands full keeping up with three active sons. Jamie and John as high school junior and freshman tower over their father, which isn't hard to imagine. Sixth-grade son, Nicholas, simply asks if he can borrow his father's clothes. Jim is still a solo attorney, who took time off recently to manage his wife's campaign for a county commissioner's seat in Schuylkill County. She won.

Stew Barroils''72 boat leads off into the distance at Diamond State Masters Regatta.
Regatta on Noxontown Pond Several SAS alums rowed in the inaugural Diamond State Masters Regatta on Noxontown Pond in August. They competed with several hundred men and women, aged 27 and over in 29 events throughout the day. Three members of the Class of '63 had successful rows: Rick Hillier rowed two eight events for the Virginia Club; George Schuster pulled an oar for Potomac; and John Schoonover rowed an eight and also sculled for Wilmington. Representing Chester River was Stew Barroll '72 who rowed the course twice. Lastly, but first in his sculling event, was Stuyvie Pell, son of Walden Pell. This was a particularly nostalgic experience for John and Rick, who both grew up at the two houses (Hillier and Baum) on the finish line of the course. Rick's last competitive row at SAS was 28 years ago. John's previous official race as coxswain was 1961. Rowing down the Pond again felt like time had stood still (although their times were a bit slower...).
64 Class Agent: Barry Sabloff, 420 Sunset Road, WinnetkaJL 60093 It's great to receive news of our alumni. In case you were wondering what Blair Turner has been doing for the last 27 years, we've got it all. Blair attended Roanoke College from 1964 to 1966. In 1968, he married Vicki Gay Cover. He graduated with honors from St. Andrew's Presbyterian College, Laurinburg, North Carolina, in 1969. He then completed Naval Officer Candidate School at Newport, Rhode Island, in April 1970, and went on to one tour of duty in Vietnam and one tour in San Diego. He enrolled at the University of Florida, Gainesville, Fla., in January 1973, to begin graduate studies in Latin American history and political science. Blair finished his master's degree in 1976. In 1980, he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to complete work for the Ph.D. and spent the majority of 1981 working in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 1982, Blair joined the History and Political Science faculty at Virginia Military Institute (VMI), Lexington, Va. He was awarded a doctorate in 1986 from the University of Florida. In 1989, he returned to Latin America, this time as a senior Fulbright scholar, and spent several weeks lecturing at universities in Uruguay and Argentina in Spanish. He became chairman of the Department of History and Political Science at VMI in 1990 and was recently promoted to full professor, effective August 1991. Vicki and Blair are now the proud adoptive parents of Glen Currie Blair, born July 1990.

Kendall Ivie, who lives in Clinton, Tenn., about 20 miles north of Knoxville, runs his own company that specializes in software for radiological qualitative and quantitative analysis "to measure mostly alpha emitters." Kendall and wife Missy have two daughters, Fiona (11) and Elaine (6), who are soccer fanatics. Also very active in the sport, Kendall says that he is coaching a winning under-12 girls' team and is a regional commissioner for the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO). Gibby Kane and wife Tory are in Rye, N.Y. Gibby is one of Long Island Sound's most avid sailors. This summer he and his family cruised to Martha's Vineyard. He says he weathered Hurricane Bob on the boat in Newport. Daughter Kimberly is now at St. Lawrence. Daughter Schuyler is a junior at Pomfret, and son Teddy, III, is a ninth grader at Rye Country Day. Gibby is still with his Greenwich, Conn, investment management firm that he helped to start in 1978. The firm specializes in managing endowments and mutual funds. Andy MacNair is still living in Gramercy Park, New York City, and has been practicing architecture via his own firm for the last four years. He says he has two "tiny offices" in New York and Rotterdam and is expecting to spend more time in Europe now that he's designing houses in Holland. He is completing a fiveyear building project in Japan as well. Andy has been teaching architecture for 19 years at Columbia, Cooper Union, Parsons and Pratt. Currently, he commutes to Cambridge, Mass., to teach two days a week at Harvard's Graduate School of Design. Always one to work both sides of the brain, Andy has continued his painting and has had shows in New York City, Holland, Belgium and Germany. Jay McNeely reports from Charlottesville, Va., that his two eldest children are storming through their college years. Son Jay is 21 and majoring in economics at Elon, and son Grayson is a "party animal" at Randolph Macon. Daughter Melissa is a ninth grader at Charlottesville's well-known St. Anne's. Also, there is youngest son Ned who is an eighth grader. The class may remember Jay's wife, Susan, (nee Finney). She was the pretty gal who used to grace Jay's arm at all the SAS dances. They married in 1967. Jay and his brother own Eagle Corp., a holding company with ten other companies in the construction supply business. He says that he has been golfing a lot for the last five years, in addition to his regular pursuits, hunting and fishing. The family has a vacation home in Chester, Nova Scotia. Jay reports that he sees Mimi and Peabody Hutton and kids when they pass through Charlottesville every year en route to summer camp in nearby Lexington. He reports that the Huttons are eager to return stateside from Peabody's long-term stint in Hong Kong with Coudert Bros., the prestigious international law firm. George Heiner '67 honorary class member by virtue of his affiliation with the Great Triacia Co., made contact after our last report. He is in the elevator business in Mishawaka, Ind., just east of South Bend. George is Mishawaka's Democratic candidate for mayor, and by the time you read this report may even be the town's "hizzonor!" Yours truly, F. Bidnut, and family went with George Cole and Bart Conchar '64 and daughter Krista to the Homecoming in September. Lee Tawes also made it.
On the following Sunday, Chris Hunt took the Metroliner from New York to spend the afternoon with us in Annapolis.

OU Class Agent: Walt Harrison, 2323 Thistledowne Drive, NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49505-6319 James Pratt passes along the following words of wisdom by Albert Schweitzer: Words to live by: It is not enough merely to exist. It's not enough to say, "I'm earning enough to live and support my family. I do my work well. I'm a good father. I'm a good husband. I'm a good churchgoer." That's all very well, but you must do something more— seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own life more noble and to realize his own true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. Andy Parrish writes: "The commercial real estate company I founded with four friends two years ago is doing very well, all things considered. We are building our first project —a 50,000-square-foot office/warehouse and keeping our fingers crossed. I'm rowing regularly, finally at the masters level (Miami Rowing Club's eight won the eight-oared master's national event last year and hopes to do the same at the International FISA regatta this year). My wife, Ellie, has even gotten involved with rowing. This is your doing, Ducky!" Tim Peters' son, Tim, Jr., graduated from SAS last spring and is attending Washington College. Daughter Megan is in the Class of '93. Gardner Cadwalader had a nice surprise recently at the 250th reunion celebration for his father's family, the Middletons, in Charleston, S.C. The Middleton Plantation is still surviving even after it was burned years ago during Sherman's march and an earthquake nearly destroyed it completely. Gardner explained that Charleston is looking better than any time in its history, probably due to the cleanup after Hurricane Hugo. All the houses are newly painted and the area is in splendid condition. Gardner's father is related to Arthur Middleton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. There were 380 relatives gathered for this special occasion—Gardner said he knew probably 20 of them. Everyone wore name tags that were color coded according to family members. Now for the surprise—Gardner saw Blackburn Hughes there, and while they were talking he noticed that Blackie's name tag had the same colored dots as his own. So, Gardner and Blackie are related in some way. This was a pleasant discovery for Gardner, because he has admired Blackie since the time the two of them were at SAS in the 60' s.

for nocturnal, marauding Fifth Formers bearing shaving cream....The Fourth Form year was the Year of the Skateboard, and the sound of McCormick and Winter rumbling down B Corridor was a familiar one....The Sixth Form year found us at our best both academically and athletically. Nearly half of the form got Third Groups, six of us were National Merit Finalists, and Hoffecker, Bennett, Carvill, and H. Smith all got natty dollar bill bow ties from Dr. Schmolze for getting 800's on their college boards.... The year ended with the School still shuddering at the thought of Dale Bennett sitting atop the tower with his Glover-inspired laser beam.... Soon the Class of 1967 will be a memory. But it was worth it while we were there." WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW!!

Bill, the prime instigator behind the expedition, won the award for best left-handed Norwegian cast by a tag-team fisherman. After a recent phonathon and other contacts, Steve Salter has the following news to report: John Guastavino is another Eastern shoreman who can't stay away from the water. John is the captain of a small fishing boat in Key Largo and will take all interested parties on backwater tours of the pirate-infested Florida Keys.

John's daughter, Helena Rose, is two years old. When Steve was talking to Dave Pavlik and learned Dave and Kathy have three boys and three girls (with no plans to stop now), his comment was, "Geez, Dave, you've really got your hands full."

Alex missed the 10-year reunion due to the timely arrival of twins, but reports that she will definitely attend this summer's 15-year gala. No more kids forthcoming. Where is Jeff Wilgis? Robin Eisenbrey is a nurse working with acute care patients in a trauma center in Newark, Del. To relieve some stress, Robin is going to Puerta Valletta at the end of January.

A financial analyst and management trainer, Dan enjoys the beauty and outdoors of New England. He hopes to do some overseas work for Federal Express in the future. Sandy Rhodes is shooting for the long-distance award at the Reunion by coming from Seattle, Wash., if life permits him.

Perry Yeatman heads the account team for Adams Sandier Inc., the Maryland-based advertising and public relations division of Shandwick pic, which was awarded the public relations industry's highest national honor for its program to market Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore. The Public Relations Society of America selected winners from among 488 programs submitted nationwide. Additionally, Perry was promoted to act as a senior consultant for Shandwick pic on a project in Singapore. Paul Eichler announces that he is engaged to be married; proposed date is March 7, 1992. He has a new job with Anne Arundel County Fire Department and says it's the best job because he is getting paid for a hobby. Pilar Wyman and Peter John McMenamin were married in St. Anne's Church, Annapolis, Md., on November 9. Geoff Garner has much news to report: "First, and most significantly, my wife, Mary, and I proudly announce the birth of our beautiful daughter, Madeline Elizabeth, born on September 21, weighing an even seven pounds. Her beauty is surpassed only by her intelligence, and she is considering a place in the St. Andrew's Class of 20 10. "Secondly, I graduated from Rutgers School of Law in Camden last May and have passed the Pennsylvania bar. I am a lieutenant in the Navy, in which I serve as a legal officer. The Navy is going to keep us on the move in the next few months. I will be working in Philadelphia until early January, when I have to go to Newport for nine weeks of additional training. After that, it is a week in Norfolk followed by a short cruise. Finally, the spring will show us moving to Yokosuka, Japan (near Tokyo), where we will be for three years. We are all very excited about going to Japan; my biggest regret is that I will miss my 10-year reunion. The 5 -year was such a blast! "One thing I hope to be able to accomplish in Japan is to further pursue my new-found interest in bicycle racing. Joining a local team should be a good way to meet people outside the Navy community. "There are a lot of SAS friends from whom I would like to hear (and I'm sure they know who they are). Until I am able to provide a new permanent address, mail can always be directed to me at the following address: 968 Woodlawn Drive, Lansdale, PA 19446. My very best to all at St. Andrew's."

Darius Mansoory is running his own bar/nightclub in downtown Wilmington. John Story is married and has a farm in Missouri. Steve Billhardt writes: "Life in Vermont continues to treat me well. The summer consisted of producing and acting in a play for the local theater group as well as sponsoring a fresh air child from the Bronx. I'm teaching third and fourth graders this year, which is a nice change from first graders." Boo Percy moved to West Hartford, Conn., and has a job with an advertising/public relations firm, O'Neal & Prelle, as an account supervisor.

Jackie is an attorney in Wilmington, Del. Note to Ann O'Shaughnessy: Boo is trying to reach you, because she travels to North Conway regularly and would like to get together. "Being a recycling manager has worked well for me," says Beryl Friel, "because it requires the skills of a generalist." Beryl recently became the new recycling coordinator for four Mid-Shore counties. After spending two years in Boston directing a psychiatric research project, she decided to move back to her hometown of Chestertown, Md. Kent County was looking for a recycling coordinatorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a deal was struck. Based on her experience in Kent County, Beryl feels optimistic.

News of Former Faculty
c
hes Baum '36 wrote the following in tribute to Carol Stegeman, former director of publications:
A Short Sequence Celebrating a Distinguished Thirteen-Year-Long Editorial Career: Cxf TSoitquet from a Predecessor. I Sequential sonnets may provide the space To celebrate our Carol Stegeman's art In building from an inauspicious start A publication worthy of our praise. My old Newsletter held a lowly place, From which her Bulletin had to depart, So Carol led it out and up with art, Photography, and literary grace.
II That chalky, stiff, apologetic page Was turned for good when Carol and her team Produced a bulletin that could proclaim With pride: "St. Andrew's School has come of age.' Carol's triumphs owe much to her knowledge Of how to catch the eye, then bend its beam Beneath the surface to the facts that teem With all the riches of a coral ledge.
When editor, I had perforce averred, "One word is worth a thousand glossy prints." I went from mimeo to letter-press To off-set, but kept on saying, "Just the word!" Gray pages with sports scores, class notes, and hints That quizzes would be given on the rest.
Her twenty-seven issues I have found To be a visual feast for one who Used to urge ascendancy of the word, But just as nourishing has been the sound In my mind's ear of good writing held to Those standards Bill Cameron once had roared.
Editor's Note I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to learn from Carol by working side-by-side with her and to have witnessed her judgment, her design sense and her eye at work. She is a natural, one of those human resources that a boarding school cannot survive without. We wish Carol well in her new adventures as an art student at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and as a free-lance graphic designer. Carol Stegeman
