WINTER 1994

Noxontalk swimming pool does wonderful things for a boarding school. Sure, it adds another sport to our winter season, and no one can contend that swimming is an ideal activity for young and old alike, but the benefits which I have observed in its eight months of existence are much more subtle and unexpected than any of these. I know I was not alone in feeling somehow uncomfortable and shy the first time I walked into that bright-tiled arena in my bathing suit. And sure, it was odd to see department heads and the headmaster skimpily clothed and dripping wet. But as we all got accustomed to this, and as the pool became a kind of meeting place, I felt that we all were given a glimpse of some ancient truth, the principle that once ran communal baths. There is a profound simplicity that comes from bathing with your colleagues. Very little is hidden, everything is out in the open, and, besides the make and design of your suit, there are few airs. The swimming pool creates a common ground, a round table if you will, where, like newborns, we are equal once again. Furthermore, water is sheer joy, it is exhilarating, it is life itself. It does something to people; it soothes them, relaxes them and brings them some renewed vitality. Maybe that is why I have had some of the nicest visits with other members of the community whom I might never see.

Mothers, children, faculty members, staff, everyone is brought together at the pool. I do not think any of the original pool proponents envisioned these powers of a pool; nor, I doubt, would many of those steadfast 6:00 a.m. lap swimmers articulate it in quite this way. But I charge that anyone who has bared his suited body to the chlorine and bromine gods and dived into that turquoise sanctum, has emerged somehow better than when his street-clothed body trudged through the lockerroom door.

TEACHER AS COACH

By Jon O'Brien

Darcy Caldwell

St. Andrew's has field fast to the boarding school tradition of the teacher/coach

Bob Colburn and John Lyons

PORTS ARE GOOD FOR KIDS. Exercise is healthy for the mind as well as the body, and games are fun. At their best, sports unquestionably build character and teach the ways of the world. Players learn teamwork, sportsmanship, perseverance and respect for opponents. They also learn that life's playing field is not always even.

S

At least they learn these lessons if they have a good coach. In the hands of a bad coach, all the wrong lessons are taught.

I'm sure we have all seen a high school athlete ridiculing opponents, mimicking the finger-pointing, "in-your-face" antics of some professional athletes. I'm equally sure we have watched teams run up huge scores against opponents while subs on both teams sat on the bench. And most of us probably know of a coach who has adopted the Vince Lombardi dictum that winning is the only thing. Driven to

be No. 1, it is normal for admissions departments at some of our best known boarding schools to actively recruit exceptional athletes to fill key positions on their varsity teams. As with colleges, winning often depends on which school has the best recruiting program.

I asked Donna Speers to feature the head coaches of our varsity teams in this issue of the Bulletin because I think they are an exceptional group of men and women. While schools today increasingly rely on physical education departments for their coaching staffs, St. Andrew's has held fast to the boarding school tradition of the teacher/coach. In addition to being fine athletes and coaches, close to 100 percent of our coaches are graduates of our nation's most demanding colleges and universities. One is our academic dean. Others are chairs of their academic departments. All are fine classroom teachers. Furthermore, almost all have

COACH AS TEACHER lived in dormitories with the students they teach and coach. They know that academic work and personal growth come first. They have sports in the proper perspective.

The notable athletic success many of our graduates have enjoyed at college is a tribute to these men and women. Our rowers have been especially successful, earning seats on crews throughout the Ivy League and such other fine rowing programs as those at Trinity and Syracuse.

But we have had many graduates who have gone on to enjoy successful college careers in other sports as well. The captain of last year's Brown University basketball team was Darron Mills '89, and this year Troy Robinson '92 and Randy Slaughter '92 are starting at quarterback and linebacker on Wesley an's football team. Two others, Thad McBride '91 and Ben Biddle '91, are playing on Princeton's soccer team. Indeed, Thad was just voted runner-up as the Ivy League Soccer Player of the Year.

Another star performer is Earl Walker '90. He was an All-Ivy League wrestler at Brown, and this year at Boston University. Earl is ranked No. 6 in the country in the NCAA Division I, preseason forecast in his weight class. Many of our women graduates have also had outstanding college athletic careers.

Elizabeth O'Brien '84 stroked and captained her Trinity crew; Ann Sawyer Chilton '85 captained Princeton's squash team, and Anne Montesano '86 played No. 1 for four years on Hamilton's tennis team and captained the team her senior year. More recently, Jen Boynton '90 is captain of the '94 women's lacrosse team at Tufts, Heather Williams '92 is starting point guard on the Williams basketball team, and Camille Cranson '93 played on the varsity soccer team for the University of New Hampshire as a freshman. There are many more of our graduates who

have enjoyed varsity sports at their colleges, but these examples illustrate that youngsters can come to a premier academic institution like St. Andrew's and receive the caliber of coaching which will enable them to excel at the college level.

But most of our students are simply kids who love sports and want a chance to play. That our teams do as well as they do is a great tribute to them and their coaches.

In a losing effort against Tatnall, I watched one of our ends, a kid so skinny he has no right to be on a football field, make two fine catches. We may have lost the game, but this boy was not a loser. And I remember another football player, Brian Kotz '86, who, as a III Former, was so uncoordinated that he had trouble walking across a room without falling. Yet, through constant effort and determination, he became an All-State field goal kicker and then went on to kick for Harvard. These are the kinds of victories we see daily at St. Andrew's. They are rich and rewarding and plentiful. If one only measures success by wins and losses, how meager the reward in comparison.

Melissa Brown

...most of our students are simply kids who love sports and want a chance to play.

That our teams do as well as they do is a great tribute to them and their coaches.

I am proud of our athletic program. It is demanding and challenging, but it has not lost sight of the fact that sports are a supplement to our main educational objectives. I am also proud of our athletes. They are all great in my book, whether they are among the talented few who lead our varsity teams or the many whose enthusiasm, love of sport, effort and courage remind us daily why sports for all are so important. Most of all, I am proud of our Directors of Athletics, Bob Colburn and Gail LeBlanc, and the superb group of men and women who coach our students. Their values and skills form the foundation on which the entire system rests.

NEW FACULTY AND A D M I N I S T R A T O R S Tom Sturtevant.

Tom, in his fourth year at St. Andrew's, is the new college counselor. He arrived as an English teacher and lacrosse coach, assignments he continues to pursue, now with just one section of V Form English. But Tom feels that his new administrative duties bring everything together. "I think this is a great job...I need to know what is going on with our kids, and that means I have to know about everything that happens at the School, absolutely everything...! love teaching English, but perhaps even more than that I love understanding schools and how they work."

Understanding schools is second nature to Tom, for whom independent education is a family business. Tom's father has been working in schools since 1958 and has been the headmaster of the Maret School in Washington, D.C., since 1973.

Tom's brother, who worked as college counselor at the Maret School, is the headmaster of Gunston School in Centreville, Md. Tom's family helps link him with many colleges—a boon for his new job. Tom went to Tufts and Stanford, his brothers to Bowdoin, Yale and Middlebury, and his parents to Harvard, Rollins, George Washington and Vassar. Also, Tom became familiar with several colleges through college athletics, which allowed him to visit all the major New England schools.

Tom has some plans for his office. He admits that the college application process has gotten complicated—the competition to get in and the financial burdens that come with it. "I want to create a book to explain some of the financial issues that parents have to deal with, listing the schol-

...I love teaching English, but perhaps even more than that I love understanding schools and how they work.

arships that are available, and give it to parents before the junior year to help prepare them for the college admission process." Tom would also like to look at how we prepare students for standardized tests. "I want to make sure that our students' strengths are represented on the tests they take." More than as an administrator, Tom sees himself as a counselor. "I am here to help students see who they are at this defining moment of their lives—to get them to feel good about who they are and try to see where they can continue to learn.... The purpose of this process is really to punctuate the students' lives.

They are at an ending point, looking at a beginning. It's a time in which a student really needs to confront himself and say: 'Who am I? What are my needs? What things am I good at? What would I like to do with myself? What ideas and interests that I have developed are going to translate into a career or advanced study?' lam here to get them to see themselves; and in seeing themselves, they prepare themselves for this transition."

Carl Kunz Carl joins the faculty as Religious Studies Department Chair and chaplain, but he has actually been connected to SAS for over 25 years. In 1967, he was rector of Middletown's St. Anne's Episcopal Church and helped link St. Andrew's students to the community through tutorial programs. He and his wife, Carol, are also the parents of two SAS graduates: Katie '81 and Chuck '85. Carl served as the Bishop's representative on the Board of Trustees at times when the Bishop was unavailable. "I love St. Andrew's and have been a part of it for so many years."

What brought him back? "I've always enjoyed kids and helping them with their struggles. I wanted to be back in a place where you can help shape young people...

Every faculty member at SAS is helping this goal of their growth into leaders. And

I've always enjoyed kids and helping them with their struggles. one of these areas is spirituality—and their development as whole people. I think it is significant that St. Andrew's has not given that up. I also think this school looks at religious issues in two ways: an academic point of view and the Christian perspective." Carl believes it is important to present worship options to students which they can then choose to accept or reject. "I look at my experiences at the William Penn Charter School and Haverford College, both of which had Quaker meetings. While it did not turn me into a Quaker, it definitely influenced my spirituality. I hope that kids who come here from non-Episcopal traditions are enriched by what we give them and make them stronger in their own tradition.

As the church is changing, we have to be very mindful of what the mission of the whole church is in the given decade that we live. So I think liturgically what I bring is experience in the changing church, some awareness of what is going on out there in the world and how the church is reshaping itself in the mission of the world."

Taught by Peter McLean and Peter Brooke, this course's main objective is "to better acquaint the artist and the scientist with the natural world."

Students observe and sketch in the field and laboratory local organisms of all five kingdoms of life. Drawings are then published in a book representing natural life as found in and around St. Andrew's.

Head-of-the-Charles For Heidi Williams '94 eidi Williams participated in the club singles division of the Head-of-theCharles in Cambridge, Mass., last October. One of only three youths who rowed, Heidi competed against 20 other rowers on the 3.1-mile course. Although her race was one of the first of the day, she managed to take 30 seconds off her best time.

Heidi's motivation to train for Heidi Williams '94 at the Head-of-the-Charles races. the nationally prominent race came partly from memories of watching and cheering on her father at the Head-of-the-Charles when she was little. Heidi, who says the race was exciting, was surprised how calm she was even when a competitor hit her boat with an oar in an effort to pass her. "I saw it as a race against myself rather than other people," remarked Heidi.

A L U M N I AND TRUSTEES NEWS Changing of the Guard After a successful tenure as president of the Board, Henry Herndon is passing the gavel to Hick Rowland.

Henry Herndon enry is indebted to Jon O'Brien for his guidance and leadership during Henry's term as president of the Board. Under Jon's leadership, they improved the committee structure, got a sense of direction and modified methods of investment.

'The concept of the Board reflecting its principle constituencies is very important. I always envisioned it as three legs of a stool—the Founder and his family and our friends; the graduates of the School; and the parents. A successful development is the recent expansion of the Board to include more parents. Parents are vitally involved, and they carry the message of what the kids think is going on." Henry admits there is more to do.

"We need to improve what we do in terms of the trusteeship committee and the evaluation process. We need more people who are good managers. We want people who feel an attachment for the School. It is all well and good to have folks who are interested and bring a skill, but we want people who feel passionately about it to be in that leadership position. We need to be in an initiating mode rather than a reactive one. I think it is very important that you do change the head of the Board on a regular basis. We need to have other perspectives and other leadership."

H

Henry Herndon '

Hick Rowland he new perspective is Hick Rowland's. But Hick's involvement in the School is anything but new. It was Hick's passionate leadership as the head of the Toward the 21st Century capital giving campaign, which helped St. Andrew's reach and surpass its goal. Hick and Henry see eye-to-eye on the most successful way to run a board of trustees, so Hick stresses the same themes of being proactive and working with passion.

Hick knows he is getting a strong, conscientious, committed board. He feels that Henry has done a great job in leading the Board and giving it direction. Rather than come in with a new agenda, Hick would like to continue what has been started by Henry.

"I think it is important that the Board continue to have vision and continue to be proactive... we need to look ahead and act upon what we think needs to be done as we approach the next century." One of Hick's main goals is to encourage alumni to see that they will be the future stewards of SAS, beginning right now. He would like to increase the number of alumni trustees and parent representatives, because both of these groups provide vital insight into the School. "The primary quality of a trustee has to be passion and commitment; everything else comes from that." While our Board does not meet as often as some (many day school boards meet up to 100 times a year, as opposed to our three Trustee Weekends), Hick feels that when our Board does meet it is focused and a great deal is accomplished. He sees it as a positive sign that we rarely rely on our Executive Committee to make decisions, rather the entire Board is involved. Hick does feel it is time to revisit the long-range plan, which the Board developed in 1985, to see what has been accomplished and what remains to be done. But perhaps his primary agenda item is to keep the Board in touch with the present SAS student body.

The Alumni Corporation Board Update he Alumni Corporation Board met during Homecoming weekend to discuss, among other business, its mission. As its primary goal, the group would like to improve communications within the alumni body. Two draft mission statements were put forth for consideration as well as several proposals for furthering intra-alumni/ae as well as inter-alumni/ae/School involvement.

T

uzz Speakman '38 looks at his job as class agent as a personal challenge—specifically, to initiate as much communication among classmates as possible. By starting a round-robin letter campaign, he has united schoolmates who have been out of touch for 57 years.

At the same time, each letter has provided an opportunity for classmates to tell their story—stories of travel, war, being a P.O.W.—a fascinating variety of accounts of the passing of time. Included in the letter exchange have been George Brown '37, Gus Trippe '37, John Parry '37, Bill Cory '38, Chuck Silliman '36 and Alan Baldwin '36.

Frank Townsend writes: "The three survivors of the Class of '34 [Frank, Jerry Niles and Bob Orr] would like everyone to know that they continue to walk upright, take nourishment and, in short, enjoy life. All intend to be present for their 60th anniversary homecoming next June. See you then."

Findley Burns and his wife, Martha, took a cruise sponsored by the Metropolitan Museum of Art on the Regina Renaissance to Istanbul, the Black Sea, and the Agean and Mediterranean coasts of Turkey and Athens. He says it's the best trip of its kind that they've ever made.

On their way to Martha's Vineyard in late May, Jessie and Bill Sibert spent some time with Alexandra Stoddard and Peter Brown at their house in Stonington, Conn.

On August 12, 1993, Bill and a group of St. Andrew's alums enjoyed a sunny day at his place in Lambert's Cove on Martha's Vineyard. A total of 36 people (lots of kids) picnicked, played baseball and swam. Ned Sibert '74, son of Bill's brother Edwin '38, was present along with Ed Strong '66, Bill's wife Jessie's nephew, and Jay Tolson '67.

Jay's father, Lt. General J.J. Tolson, was Bill's boss for several years in the Army.

Liz has a delightful husband, Charley; Ann is going along the single parent road."

Danny Patch writes that he had planned a trip to Costa Rica last spring with friends, but they backed out at the last minute. "I went anyway, and because of some poor advice from my ex-travel agent, the trip had some bad times. No one should travel on his or her own in Costa Rica. The agent had rented me a car, and I found the roads to be no better than Roman cart paths! After traveling from one end of the country to the other, I wised up and got a guide with his own van. The country is one large botanic garden, but few speak English. I look forward to returning...since I pretty well know my way around."

Arthur Laws happened to stop at SAS while on a business trip north, just in time to participate in all the Homecoming events. He says he found the morning forum on coeducation particularly interesting. Arthur then hosted Jon and Joan O'Brien and more than twenty other members of the SAS family in Atlanta at the Piedmont Driving Club in November.

Jim Rawes gave up the administrative job he had with the National Health Service after retiring from the family practice. It became too

time consuming and concerned with individual difficult cases rather than liaison with GP's as originally planned. He was asked to join the board of the local prison—described in the handout as "an unusual form of voluntary service"—whose members are appointed by the Home Secretary (Government Minister) as watchdog for inmates (and sometimes staff), with potential direct access to him to report or comment.

As a non-ball player, Jim was delighted and stimulated by the photos of the new pool on the covers of the last Bulletin.

Spence would like to clear up any misimpression with reference to his own situation.

He felt the last class note might indicate that he is no longer an active attorney—not so!

Spence writes: "I have begun a new legal career, more 'active' than ever. As a staff attorney for the Georgia Legal Services Programs, Savannah Regional Office, I am in court almost daily, which was not true in the private legal sector, in a big firm representing mostly corporate interests. My present clients require very demanding advacacy, which I love, and fortunately I am getting paid for these "pro bono" cases!! Lawyers are fortunate in being allowed longevity of service. My father practiced here 60 years, and I hope to have the same privilege!"

"About nine months ago, I became very nostalgic about the School and wrote letters to Messrs. Baum, Amos and Maclnnes. I received prompt, extensive interesting replies from all of them, and the correspondence helped reconnect me with the School.

"I also miss 'Bull' Cameron and often regret not keeping in touch with him after I left St. Andrew's. He was a great man, and I often think of him and realize how much he contributed to my development as a person.

Class Agent: Barry Register In a review appearing in The New York Sunday Times of October 17, 1993, Hume Horan was given high marks in a new book written by Robert D. Kaplan. Entitled The Arabists, The Romans of an American Elite, the book discusses Hume's service as ambassador to Saudi Arabia in the 1980's. After he followed orders from the State Department in March 1988, "...Washington recalled Horan....A feeling persisted within the Foreign Service community that Horan was done in not just by the Saudis...but also by senior bureaucrats...for understanding the Saudis better than they wanted to be understood." To clarify, Hume was decidedly not an Arabist, a description accorded to a group in State, who felt Saddam Hussein was a man who could be worked with.

The works of Alan Crichton appeared in a show, "Transparency and Reflection," at the Frick Gallery, Belfast, Ireland, in September.

As described in a Irish newspaper article: "Crichton's work is self-contained, hermetic, even cryptic, and concerns itself with interior life. It is emotional, romantic, almost mystical.

It looks inward into the psyche, and the processes he uses are so obscure as to be opaque to any thematic analysis. For Crichton it is the image that counts, not how he got there."

George Shuster writes: "I really enjoyed our 30th Reunion. Also, it's good to see people like John Schoonover and Rick Hillier at the Diamond States Rowing Regatta each August on Noxontown Pond. It is a great thing that the School supports such an event."

He will also be working on a thesis topic on child maltreatment and infant mortality and teaching social work at the Harvard School of Public Health. Cathy said that he is "hanging out in Brookline" and planning to join an intramural crew at Harvard. She also reported that before he left for Boston, she witnessed the youngish-looking grad get "carded" to buy beer in Chapel Hill!

Dave McWethy called John in October to say that after having his own business for 17 years, he sold it last summer in order to fulfill a long-standing ambition. Dave is now traveling across country with his three Norwegian Fjord horses and a wagon which he built himself.

"I'm going across country as far as I can in a year," he said, "and I welcome any St. Andrew's grads to join me." He left Albany, N.Y., in October and plans to head for Kentucky and southward to avoid the snows before turning northward towards Colorado.

Traveling back roads and expecting to average about 20 miles a day, Dave will remain in touch with his wife, Pam, by laptop. He will be writing a memoir of the trip. Interested fellow travelers can get a fix on his position by calling

Pam at 603-835-6932.

Lee Tawes and John got together at the Homecoming in September to begin planning for their 30th Reunion. They'll be forming a reunion committee on a regional basis to do the phone calling and follow-up. The goal is to get 100% attendance.

John writes: "We shall rely on your network of friendships that you have kept up since graduation. However, our core group should come from those who returned for the 25th: Burke, Farrow, Haynes, Morton, Jon Smith, Tawes and Walker. Remember guys, we seven pledged to do the work, which will involve being responsible for calling, exhorting and delivering to SAS on the day four or five of your closest classmates."

Mark was seen demonstrating a number of his most recent guitar licks to Pete Townsend who was also in attendance. Mark continues to serve as director of the Co-Op City Children's Center in the Bronx. Other members of the academic fraternity from the Class of 1966 include Cliff Nuttall who is in his 24th year of teaching high school in Milton, Pa., and Ted Thornton who is rector of Northfield-Mount Hermon School in Northfield, Mass. Tim Peters reports that he doesn't know what to do with all his spare time now that he and Lynn no longer have children at SAS and various athletic events to attend.

Four months and several large headaches later, we moved into our very own house which is really a duplex, and this means I am also a landlord! I like the concept, and I am currently looking to buy a triplex next. Move over Donald Trump!

"We also did a little traveling including a two-week trip to Costa Rica. Because we are both in the food -and-beverage business, this was our focus during our trip; and we discovered that the food in Central America is not the reason to go there—however, the coffee was great.

"I am doing volunteer work with my church as time permits. I am actually refurbishing a duplex near downtown Atlanta for a previously homeless family. The work is not only rewarding emotionally but also it lets me practice my technique for work on my house."

BASKETBALL IN RUSSIA byJeffLilley'82 "It is the reality of American life and the actual values of American society that increasingly define America to the rest of the world."—Zbigniew Brzezinski, Out of Control: Global Turmoil on the Eve of the 21st Century unny how a basketball game can teach us something about ourselves—even one as far away as Moscow.

The occasion was the Adidas Streetball Challenge, a traveling 3-on-3 basketball tournament that came to Russia for the first time last month. Moscow's Gorky Park became basketball heaven for a summer weekend.

Boys and girls, men and women, including two players from the 1972 Soviet Olympic Basketball Team, hooped it up on 30 courts set up by Adidas on the park's walkways— 300 teams in all and 1,200 participants.

A Moscow radio station played the latest rap music. Young Muscovites in Chicago Bulls hats and Charlotte Hornets t-shirts danced all day in the park. Yes, NBA fashion is "in" in Moscow, too.

Not even a steady downpour at the outset of the tournament could dampen the enthusiasm of Russian basketball enthusiasts. The umbrellas came out, but the game went on.

After huddling under some trees, our foursome of three Americans and one Russian was called out to our first game against a rag-tag Russian team. Sheets of rain poured down. On the next court, I saw a Russian woman playing with her raincoat on. Earlier that morning, we saw a 63-year old Russian grandmother throw an around-the-back pass for her team in the women's division. A raincoat for a uniform and "Magic Babushka"—it was all part of our introduction to streetball a la Russe.

Back on our court, we might as well have been playing water polo. Kicking up bucketfuls of water, we slid through puddles on the court in pursuit of the slippery ball.

Meanwhile, our rugged Russian opponents, unfazed by the downpour, clawed their way to the basket and dove for loose balls. We were soundly defeated.

Our heads lowered in embarrassment, we straggled off the court. After all, we are Americans, the fathers of pick-up basketball, and we had just gotten our rear ends handed to us by a bunch of streetwise Russians.

Thank goodness for double-elimination.

Under the refreshment tent, we regrouped and set about devising a strategy to win back some pride for America's rich legacy of basketball.

We ourselves were a desperate bunch of Americans. Our ace shooter, Paul, was a 29-

F

year-old investment banker, who gave up a big salary in the U.S. to help the Russian Central Bank set up a savings bank system.

Scott, 33, settled in Russia three years ago after stints bartending in Australia and selling used cars in Cape Cod. Engaged to be married to a Russian woman, Scott has his life savings invested in a drinking water business in Moscow.

To beef up our ranks, we recruited burly Nikolai from Moscow State University. At 6'2", 230 pounds, Nikolai was our rebounder and enforcer inside. In his free time, Nikolai studies English feverishly. A PhD in physics from Moscow State University, Nikolai is forced to work as a night watchman, because his research assistantship at the university pays him just $16 a month.

I filled out our foursome, which stared elimination—and humiliation—in the face if we couldn't improve our game. A quick strategy session produced a simple game plan: Tight defense. Pick and move on offense.

As we stepped onto the court for our second match of the day, the sun came out, an omen of good things to come, we hoped. We won easily over a group of scientists whose game showed they had clearly spent too many hours in the lab. In the next game, we shut down a good shooter. With that win, we kept ourselves alive for another day.

Our good fortune continued on Sunday.

Nikolai knew the opponents. "He's a good shooter, but he drinks too much vodka," was the scouting report on one opponent. Paul canned an overtime jumper to make it three straight wins. We were gelling, playing aggressive defense and on our way to restoring some American basketball pride. We won the next two games, ensuring a spot in the semifinals. We had won five games since our initial loss.

The more we won, the more conscious I became of standing out as an American in a sea of Russians. And the more intense became the desire to play as hard as we could. People started to talk about the "Amerikantsi." An average size team, our trademark had become hardnosed team defense, the kind of help-out defense Hoosiers would be proud of. Our Russian opponents, more used to shooting long jumpshots, weren't accustomed to being boxed out and having a defender in their faces for the whole game.

Our opponents in the semifinals came in uniforms and with a team executive in tow.

They were from a semiprofessional team which played in one of Russia's top men's leagues.

JeffLilley

'82

A crowd of spectators surrounded the court in expectation of the semifinal game. I recognized faces from the teams we had beaten. The atmosphere was charged. "It's the Amerikantsi," bystanders remarked to one another. We knew we had to control the tempo and keep the score low to beat our taller and more gifted opponents. But our fairy-tale run at the 3-on-3 title fell short. Up 7-6 with a minute left, we lost 8-7 on a shot in the last 30 seconds. There were scuffles and arguments, but at the end, we shook hands and headed for the sidelines.

Soon, Russians who had watched the game were congratulating us on our intensity and determination. One Russian spectator said to Nikolai, "Those American guys would use their teeth to tear the ball away."

That night Nikolai called to thank me for putting him on the team. "I learned a lot about basketball today," he said. "We don't play defense like you."

Nursing my sore feet, I reflected on what we had accomplished in two days of basketball. We had shown ourselves—a bunch of part-time players from different walks of life—that we could bounce back as a team.

But more importantly, we had left an impression on our Russian opponents and the spectators who watched us play.

At a time when "get rich quick" is the new modus vivendi in Russia, and American pop culture and conspicuous consumption have come to signify the "good life," I felt proud that we had returned to the building blocks of many an American success story. By playing some inspired basketball, we showed Russians what intensity, hard work and determination can result in. And after all, isn't that what Americans are known for?

From Michael Whalen Music Ltd. in Chappaqua, N.Y., Mike Whalen brings us up to date on what's been happening with him (letter dated August 22, 1993): "My first CD is coming out September 28th. It is the soundtrack to a PBS documentary series called Sea Power. The series centers on how humankind's interaction with the sea over centuries has shaped our world economy, warfare, exchange of cultures and religion. It will be released on the Narada Cinema Label in the U.S. and ten foreign countries. The show will be broadcast in the winter, and it will be shown in over 50 countries around the world. Sea Power was recorded with a full orchestra.

"My second CD is coming out in December [1993]. It will be a soundtrack for a PBS Nature series film entitled Nature's Great African Moments. This film was co-produced with PBS here in the U.S. and with Partridge Films in England. Partridge has been filming in Africa for nearly 25 years, and this 90minute special features the very best of their footage from over a quarter of a century of filming animals in the wild. Along with a full orchestra, I am using African source music, animal sounds, and chanting to build some of

the cues. It will also be released on Narada Cinema Records in the U.S., Canada, Japan and England.

"My third CD is coming out in February.

It will also be a soundtrack for a PBS Nature series film entitled Phantoms of the Forest.

This film centers on a hawk that has come from the point of extinction to have a small population in the beautiful dark forests of northern England. This score will be done with a small chamber ensemble. This record will only be released in the U.S. and Canada.

"I finished working with Marc Cheban on another St. Andrew's recording project. A Festival of Christmas III was just mixed and edited in my studio in New York with Marc there handling co-producer chores with yours truly. We combined three recordings that the choir and Marc did over the school year. One was recorded at my studio in New York, one session was done in the Chapel at SAS, and finally Marc did some organ pieces at a church in Wilmington. Overall, I think it is a very nice record and the kids should be very proud of themselves. This recording will be available on CD in a limited pressing of only 1,000 copies around October or November.

"I am finishing up a score to an HBO movie entitled Brotherly Love, which depicts the true story of Trevor Farrell. He began a program at age 15 in Philadelphia to help the homeless.

Now eight years later, his 'Foundation of the World' program helps 10,000 disenfranchised people in 19 cities. The movie centers on the first year of his program. The movie will be aired on HBO in January.

"I am also embroiled in my usual diet of commercials including new spots for AT&T, Volkswagen, Texaco, Thrifty Rent A Car, Nabisco, Coke, Clearasil, and a bunch more."

As a senior at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, N.Y., last year, Leif Christoffersen was named the 1992-93 recipient of the Elizabeth and Ruth Young Peace Prize at the college's Charter Day ceremony.

The award is given to a student who has done exemplary work in the cause of peace. In his sophomore year, Leif organized students in a work-study program in the Dominican Republic to help set up a school for families of Haitian sugar cane workers. With his encouragement, the students raised funds to match a grant and succeeded in buying a concrete-block building in Batey Libertad, a sugar cane cutters' compound near Santiago, Dominican Republic, in the winter of 1991. Since then, the school has been staffed with Haitian volunteers from the settlement and is now going strong.

Leif has been serving in Kisumu, Kenya, working for CARE on an agroforestry project (agriculture linked with forestry) for the purpose of helping area marketing and land use management. Being "committed to trying to make things better," he will be in Kenya until October 1994 (one year).

At that time, she was waiting to hear from some investment firms and brokerage houses for a position on Wall Street. She worked for the last two years on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, which led her to choose that business route.

Zara Wike left Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in April to take time out to travel. With a backpack and her paints, she took off for the Leeward islands where she began her bohemian life of painting and selling her jewelry. Pursuing her dream of sailing, she met a group of American sailors and caught "a ride" with them down to Antigua Race Week.

Then she raced with them on their 40-foot boat and entered into the crazy world of sailing.

She then went island hopping and ended up back with the Americans at their home in St. Thomas. Zara continues: "Along came a sailor friend I was racing with in Antigua. He had found a delivery crew position on an 81 foot Maxi Cruiser which was being delivered to Antibe, France. The delivery skipper just happened to be looking for two more crew and asked me if I would like to join the crew. It was a positive gut instinct after having met the crew and the boat. Within 36 hours I had gathered the necessary items for an Atlantic crossing, along with the necessary encouragement, 27

"From May 15 until June 16,1 was sailing across the Atlantic from St. Thomas (13 days) to the Azores (one week) to Gibraltar to Alicante, Spain (4 days) then finally Antibe, France. It was by far the most challenging and rewarding experience I've ever had, besides St. Andrew's.

"I learned so much and quickly. Having never steered a sailboat in my life and then to have watch duty for five hours each day was quite a crash course!

"I spent the summer following my adventure sail in London working hard and living with an old girlfriend. I hung up my rain gear and put on an executive suit entering head first into the land of sales. I worked as a beauty consultant selling makeup in all the top department stores. Yes, a 180° change; however, I survived. It was a brief but interesting job. I was selling Christian Dior and Laura Ashley perfumes."

Zara was in London in the fall with plans to travel in Europe, Nepal and Africa, eventually.

Allison Hamilton interned as an English teacher at Exeter last summer. She was in Florence, Italy, for 3-1/2 months studying and then traveled for seven weeks around Italy after her program ended. This year she is doing her thesis for English and making a film—"so sanity is at risk; career path is still unknown."

Adam Stegeman took a six-week trip in the Middle East. Starting in Istanbul in October, he visited Roman, Greek and Assyrian sites on the Turkish coast before heading inland and crossing the border into Syria. Traveling with the "Lonely Planet" guidebook in his pocket, he saw some of the largest archaeological sites and Crusader castles in the Middle East. In Jordan, he explored the ruins of Petra, traveled by camel and spent a night in the desert with a Bedouin guide and went skin diving in the Red Sea. Adam said he was fortunate to be in Jerusalem just after the peace agreement was signed and enjoyed all the excitement in the Arab quarter. He explored Crete (where he ran into Charlie Pratt '93, who was studying and working in 28

Giles Borghardt started his senior year at Syracuse University and is working on a bachelor's degree in fine arts, majoring in photography, video and film studies. He hates the cold but has compensated by growing his hair long to keep his ears warm.

Last summer, C.C. Davies and Amanda Woods ran into each other on Martha's Vineyard while Amanda was working for Ed Swenson '36. Another visitor to the Vineyard was Linda Schneider, who planned to play her fourth year of varsity lacrosse at Drew. C.C. spent a day "cruising around the Vineyard" with Andrew Butters' '91 parents and learned that, after his first year at Brown, he spent the summer teaching English in the Philippines.

After spending a semester in Denmark, Amanda has returned to Trinity College, where she is a "brother" at St. Anthony Hall with Nick Blum, who is heavily involved in painting and pyrotechnics. Amanda also sees a lot of Carter Meyer, who spent a semester in Thailand.

While traveling through Europe during the summer, C.C. stopped in Brussels and Munich to see Christina Robbins and Alexi von Dewitz '88. Christina is studying languages at the University of Kent at Canterbury and has spent a romantic year in Brussels perfecting her Spanish. She was also studying for her law exams.

Gretchen Bensinger's varsity field hockey games for Princeton have given her the occa-

sion to visit C.C. at Yale. C.C. also keeps in touch with Emily Balentine, who has been doing a lot of writing since at Harvard. Emily spent the summer in Europe.

C.C. is hoping to teach English in a city public high school when she graduates from Yale with her teaching certification.

Liz Dunton is in her last year at the University of Virginia.

Another trip took them up to UVM, where they stayed with Ted Cotsen and Nick Messore.

Sam Stegeman is abroad this year with The International Honors Program which studies the nature, society and sustainability of our global ecology. Through academic study and on-site examination of governmental policies and independent projects, they will learn about the attempts being made to understand the natural order so that resources may be used wisely in each country. The 28 students and faculty will visit England, Austria, Hungary, India, Thailand, New Zealand, Mexico City and Belize. Upon its return in May, the group will "challenge and learn from policy makers in Congress, The World Bank, the Environmental Protection Agency and other environmental agencies in Washington, D.C." When last heard from, Sam was learning Hungarian in Budapest and heading for Yugoslavia. Sam will return to Brown University in '94 for his junior year.

A YEAR IN SOUTH AFRICA (Reprinted with permission of the editor of Prep 9 Newsletter)

by Jennifer Hughes '92 eing a black American in Africa is a funny thing. It is not what you expect at all. I went there half expecting Shaka Zulu and tribal dances because everyone said, "You'll come back with a bone in your nose and a plate in your lip." I also went there half expecting a lynch mob to greet me at the airport because everyone said, "Don't go, Jenny; they'll kill you." And it's pretty scary to go to a place you know little about and all you do know about it is the violence.

I went to volunteer as a teacher at St. Mark's College in South Africa. (Yes, THAT South Africa.) It's a private boarding school of about 500 black students, with a pass rate of about 97%, the second highest of any black school in South Africa. There the students are offered an education equal to that of the white Afrikaaner schools. The kids mostly come from rural townships like Soweto and Alexandria. When I first met them they spoke amazingly great English (to my surprise), and they were fascinated to meet a genuine, authentic black American. All the other volunteers had been from England, with maybe two or three white Americans in the past, but a BLACK American? They found me absolutely fascinating, believe it or not.

The first question: Do you know Michael Jackson? Shabba Ranks?

Whitney Houston? And that's all you ever hear, Mr. Lover Man and / Will Always Love You. One of my students named Lebogang was so excited to hear that I had the TLC and Boyz II Men tapes. Yes, Africans are into rap and hip-hop.

Second question: You don't know how to speak Sotho? Not even Zulu? For some reason, black Africans think black Americans can all speak at least one African language. Two of my students, named Nomovusa and Zuko, can speak six or seven languages, including Xhosa, Sotho, Zulu, English and Afrikaans, which is the white South African language and very similar to German and Portuguese.

Which brings me to the third question: Is there prejudice in America like there is here in South Africa? Most black South Africans believe that America is a racistfree country. In my opinion, the racism in America is not outrageously blatant like in South Africa. Each time I'd walk in a city with the other volunteers (who were all

white), I would get these deadly looks from the white Afrikaaners. Funny though, when they found out I was American, it was OK. As one woman so bluntly put it, "Black Americans are so much more civilized than the blacks we have here in Africa." Oh really?! In other instances, they didn't care that I was American, they just wanted me to get my black hide off their campground. When traveling to Swaziland for the weekend with some friends, I was rejected from two campgrounds and a restaurant all in one day, all in one town, too!

The people who carry on with their own apartheid are stout members of the AWB. The AWB is nothing like the KKK; they're worse. They rally with AK47's in hand and believe not in the power of the government but in the power of the .35. They don't care that the blacks were in Africa a long time before their own ancestors even set sail. They don't even care that whites only make up 15% of the population. As far as they are concerned, it is their country, and they will hold onto it, by any means necessary.

My trip wasn't all misconceptions and misery. There are many really good white people in South Africa who are working to undo the wrongs created by apartheid, like the teachers at St. Mark's and all the other white teachers at black schools. And there are also those who aren't necessarily concerned about the wrongs of apartheid but just believe in basic education and human rights for all.

I had loads of fun meeting new people, traveling around South Africa and the neighboring countries, and generally being in Africa. And I learned a lot! I learned about the food, marriage customs, burial customs, and the language. I can now greet someone in Sotho (hello is Dumela) and hold a short awkward conversation about post offices, taxis and tea. I can also sing the Black National Anthem (Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika - Lord Bless Africa) in Zulu and Xhosa. So next time when I watch the news and hear about the violence in South Africa, I won't be discouraged because I've seen all the good things that are happening, and I know that the kids that I left behind are a part of it.

IN MEMORY UPTON K. GUTHERY '48 Upton Guthery died on June 5,1993, after falling down the stairs in his home in Washington, D.C. Gus was suffering from bad health and had not been feeling well enough to attend his 45th Reunion.

Classmate Spence Connerat wrote the following note to Jon O'Brien in Gus's memory: I just wanted you to know what a fine person Upton Guthery '48 was. I probably knew him (Gus) better than any other classmate, as we were thrown together five wonderful years. In addition to making the squash and tennis varsity teams, he did more than his share of extra-curricular activities and was just a fine, all-round person.

I will miss him, very much.

The last time I stopped off at Washington, D.C., some years ago, I called him and enjoyed a brief conversation but did not have time to visit at 3733 Van Ness Street, where I had enjoyed him and his family so many years ago.

taunts during my early years at the school.

Harry was always friendly and gentle in his dealings with me. I shall never forget him for that.

I remember Harry well as a role model whom I admired and respected for his low-key acceptance of the adulation that accompanied his achievements on the field and court, in football, basketball and baseball.

St. Andrew's has lost one of its finest alumni!

I write this in fond memory of a great guy. —DAVE HARRIS'38

I learned of Harry's death with great sadness, for, of all my classmates at St. Andrew's, he was one of the kindest, despite his dominant role as the School's most brilliant athlete.

As a less physically-endowed individual, I received my share of bullying and 32
