from any other I had ever taken. From the minute I walked into this class I felt very comfortable . Over the course of my illustrious career at Steward you could find me there at any given time during the day, whether I was working or just talking with my teacher. Now this was no ordinary teacher. This teacher stood by me through some rocky times here at Steward, and I always knew I could (urn (0 him to talk about what was going on in my life . So, Mr. Imirie, I guess I wou ld just like to thank you for what you have done for me, and I am sorry more Steward students won't have the experience of having your class. Good luck in graduate schooL .."

Yet, like some strange scientific study we all volunteered, even begged, to be crammed into a tight, crowded windowless room we called the Senior Lounge. For seventy-seven thousand and seven hundred (77,700) minutes of our lives we came together, settled our differences, and developed an appreciation for each other. We learned to stand up for ourselves in a mature way and to combine our resources for such purposes as a new Lower School playgound design.

"It is my duty tonight to welcome you, and I feel that it is important to explain just what it means to be a Steward graduate first. In a four part study of American school children, New York Times write r Stacia Tauscer claims: 'Modern school systems have been plagued with extreme farsightedness . We worry what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he/she is someone today.' Never has a statement been so incorrect when applied to Steward . Steward has given us one simple tool necessay for survival both now and in the future. I have been through several different school systems and I can honestly say that Steward has successfully brought out the individual in each senior here tonight. In most schools the teachers can bore(dig) for hours without ever striking oil. However, at Steward, the teachers make an effort to make every class an experience to learn from. Nearly every lesson is filled with student essays and debate. Class discussions

Blue & Gold CONNECTION

Teachers care enough to notice when a student is having trouble, academically or otherwise, and will often work very hard to help such students . Many times , when my mother has fallen ill, I have stayed awake late in the hospital with the company of a teacher. I have visited those same teachers when they have fallen ill. To many teachers, this graduation may seem like the loss of a good friend, but I assure them, these friendships never die. Steward has allowed students to develop by learning from each other as well. The senior class is essentially 10 individuals from different backgrounds who have been forced together to share in each other's lives. Some of us are thoughtful and quiet, and some of us are not so quiet! Some of us are simple country folk, and others are hyperactive city dwellers.

"I came to Steward 2-1/2 years ago from another private school here in Richmond. Steward was different from any other school I have come in contact with. I had never been in a school where the entire grade would fit in(to) one class. Now, I'm not the greatest student, but for some reason I felt important at Steward. rs . Brandt came to me and told me I was _ w ,lng Battle of the Brains. It was never a stion. It was as if I had received a royal ree. The teachers here at Steward were onderful. They always tried to answer my questions , even if I asked the same one over and over again. From Ms. Myer's riveting history lessons to another class I want to tell you about. This class was different

in a simple history or art class can open a new world of perspective for a student . Teachers take time out of their private lives to spend time with individual students.

When th ree of us wanted to take college courses, Steward had enough interest in us to make it possible. When we wanted to play sports not offered at school, such as Lacrosse, Steward arranged for coaches or allowed students to participate in other clubs. Only here could I be the Steward calculus student. This all boils down to one word Mr. Cramer taught me that makes Steward the exception: RESPECT. Steward respects the students' needs, personalities, and thoughts enough to treat each student individually. Instead of forcing each student to be one type of person, the School treats each person as though he/she was the only student at Steward. Steward respects the students enough to give them the freedom to be individuals, and in turn, the students respect themselves . We have been taught to be better people today, so that we can be better people tomorrow... "

"When I arrived in Richmond on August 10,1994 to begin my year as an AFS student, I had been told only that Richmond is a small city that is especially pretty in the Springtime. I brought along equally simpte expectations ... 1 expected a fairly easy year of fun-filled days of new friends and experiences. Those simple expectations have been realized but in ways quite different from my early vision. First of all, my academic expectations included the be lief that my classes woutd be difficult because of the language barrier. Classes are challenging at Steward, but the willingness of the teachers to help is limitless. My teachers were always willing to give me the time and the help I needed in order to understand a con-

cept or complete an assignment. My new-found knowledge includes information on the stock market which I learned in economics; an introduction to the American genius, Thomas Jefferson, about whom I learned in History; a love for the French language which I recognized as a result of my foreign language class here; and a new interest in the Fine Arts which I developed in art and theater classes. I also knew nothing about computer when I came to Steward, but I now consider myself proficient. In addition, I was able to play soccer for Steward, an opportunity thai gave me a chance to improve myself in the area of sports. As for English, I spoke English when I arrived, but there is no better way to become truly competent in a language than to speak and write it every day. English verbs and prepositions continue to torment me , and sometimes word order is a problem. For example, I sometimes say "Trust of Boardees" rather than Board of Trustees, but everyone still seems to know what I mean . Even my wildest expectations did not include two experiences that were especially meaningful for me this year. Those experiences were Model United Nations (MUN) and Altemate Program. When I participated in three MUN sessions and worked at the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, I was taking the first real steps toward my future, a future in international diplomacy.

to the administration, my teachers, and friends for a wonderful year. Richmond is. small city that is pretty in the springtime, but now I know that it and Steward much, much more ." _

As for my expectations about friends , I quickly learned that real friendships take time to develop. I have learned how to listen to what others think even when their ideas and beliefs are completely diHerent from my own. I have also learned to repect the beliefs and feelings of others and never to take real friendship for granted. As I leave Steward and Richmond to return to my home in the Dominican Republic, I will take with me many more memories than I had expectations. I will remember the many people who have helped me, what I have learned, and most of all, my host family, the Paulettes , who made home and Steward forever inseparable in my mind . Thank you

Middle School Final . ssembly

cess. Do you remember that some of you were absolutely sure that the secret of success was getting .. .that the more possessions you accumulated, the more successful you would be? For just a few minutes today I'd like to suggest a different way to look at life. I suggest to you that the secret to life is not getting but giving. Does that sound crazy? To give instead of get? Let me explain what I mean.

Middle School's Final Assembly of the 4-95 School Year was held in the Gymsium at 11 :30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 7, only minutes after eighth grade students completed their last exam. Following a brief ' welcome by Headmaster Steve Stackhouse, Jay Hughes presented a gift to the School from the Eighth Grade.

Do you remember when you were little and a parent or grandparent treasured a holiday card you made with crayon or magic marker? Do you remember the person saying it meant more to them than the fanciest Hallmark creation? Why? Because with that card you were giving a part of yourself.

The Student Government President (Stephen Paulette), Vice-President (Alisia Freeman), Secretary (Willie Paoletto ) and Treasurer (Clayton Haskell) were recognized for hard work and excellent leadership by their advisor,

Ms. Woodle. Students who had achieved Honor Roll or Iggies (Improved Grades Group) during the school year were recognized with certificates. These students have been named in previous issues of the Blue and Gold. The following special awards and recognitions were also made:

"To all award winners I would like to begin by adding my congratu lations to those of faculty, family, and friends on this special day. The printed program in your hands calls this the final assembly and appropriately so because it is our last chance to acknowledge and ce lebrate the accomplishments of so many of you in this room.

The Head of the Upper School and Direcof Studies, Ms. Carolyn Brandt _ . ve an inspirational and thought provok. . speech which was very well received he attentive Middle School students and _ parents .

For you eighth graders, though, today holds an added significance. I've overheard several of you in the hall talking about eighth grade graduation. I would like you to consider for a moment another word used to describe today-commencement.

Following the ceremony, there was a luncheon in the gym for eighth grade students and their families.

Commence means to begin and I think I like that word better. Life really is a journey through which you move. You are now ready to begin the next part of that journey, high school, a period both scary and exciting at the same time.

presents Jennifer Latourelle with The Steward Award.

Blue & Gold CONNECTION

As you set out on that joumey, I'd like to give you a helpful hint, a secret to help you make the next four years good ones. Let's begin with a story from earlier this year. Some of you eighth graders may remember the day I subbed for Mrs. Shaw. You had been reading a story about success and Mrs. Shaw left us with the challenging task of defining suc-

I suggest that you approach your high school years the same way. Give that same gift of time ... to yourse lf, your school, and your commu nity, and you will benefit as well. Here are a few ideas : Give yourself a gift-by taking advantage of the courses you take in high school. Your teachers and your fellow classmates have knowledge and experience to share with you which will make the years after high school much easier. Listen .. .participate ... be involved in your classes .. .give to the classes and you will get much more from them. Outside of the classroom, also give of yourself. Those of you who have never played on an athletic team, pick up a hockey stick or a lacrosse stick or try canoeing. You have skills you don't even know you have-and our coaches will help you. Those of you who have been involved in sports, try something new as well. You don't like theater? How do you know? Audition for a play or volunteer backstage. Read Jenny McComas 's story in the literary magazine about what theater has meant to her life-and try it yourself. Those of you who have enjoyed theater or sports, but say, 'I can't draw'-I'II bet Mrs. Paulette can convince you otherwise if you try her class. Those of you who found the eighth grade assembly speeches terrifying ... sign up for Model UN. In a few years you will not only feel comfortable speaking in public but you will be leading-and winning debates-in front of hundreds of people. PAGE 5

Graduation Day in the Lower School The Lower School Final Assembly began on Wednesday, June 7 at 9:00 a.m. in the School gymnasium with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance lead by fourth grader Anne·Claiborne Shelton. The "Star Spangled Banner" was then sung by the 2nd grade.

Ed Rossmoore reiterated the year's theme of "catching one another be ing good." Announcing that Mrs.Wolff had hand delivered certificates of recognition to the Spartan Patrol , Mr. Rossmoore then gave the first assembly award of the dayA Spartan Patrolman, Matthew Stal' " back, for offering his services "above . beyond the call of duty.

process of becoming an adult... So I offer you some advice and one comment.

First, use your new freedom wisely. Becoming an adult is much more than just physical development. True adults think and behave in certain ways. I mean that they act respons ibly. Think ahead and come to class on time and prepared. Keep up with your homework even though it may not always be checked by the teacher. Enjoy the snacks and candy available in the school store in moderation! Always remember that your primary purpose here is to learn.

"This final assembly of the 1994-95 academic year is traditionally known as a recognition assembly, and many individual students and classes have been recognized for their achievements.. . However, I want to take this opportunity to recognize each and everyone of you - the boys and girls of the Lower School, for your part in an excellent school year. In my first year as headmaster, I have come to realize that outstanding effort, citizenship and achievement is a daily occurrence at The Steward School. Congratulations. I am proud of you, and you can all be proud of all you have learned and of your accomplishments this year. Thank you for making this first year such a special one for me. This assembly has a very special meaning for those of you in the fifth grade. This is your last day as a student in the Lower SchooL .. Your school day next year will be very different than what you are accustom to. You will have seven or eight teachers, instead of one. You will change classes at the bell and be in classrooms throughout the campus. You will have an advisor and a locker. You will begin most days in assemblies. You will be eligible for interscholastic sports, like soccer, basketball, tennis and field hockey. You may even start taking some high school courses ... However, more will change than just your daily routine. Your years in the Middle School will be a time of great change academically, social ly and physically. Through these changes, you begin the long

PAGES

Secondly, take advantage of your new opportunities to get involved in school life. Pursue your interests and try new things. Participate in athletics and in the fine arts. Join a club or student organization . The more you are involved school the more you will enjoy it and the more you learn about yourself. Finally, remember that you are not alone. When you hit the inevitable "bump in the road ," remember teachers, counselor, administrators and parents are here to support you . Feel free to ask for guidance. Don't be afraid to share a problem or concern. In many instances another point of view can be helpful, even comforting. Remember that we believe in each of you and want you to believe in yourself. ~

freedom to decide how to best spend that precious morning free time- a choice that we as adults make every day. In 1st grade the teacher provided a multitude of centers following seatwork that required a child to use high-level time management skills;
