our chosen path
Founding Values for a New Century! Dear Friends, In 1913, two friends who had found their way as adults to Pasadena—one from Chicago and one from New York—met at tea. Margaret Brackenridge had determined to establish a school for girls on the west ridge of Pasadena, and she knew of her friend Mary Ranney’s talents as an educator. So she seized the opportunity then and there, to ask Mary Ranney to become the founding headmistress of the school she envisioned. As Margaret Brackenridge later wrote, “then and there, over the clatter of teacups,” Westridge became a reality. 100 years later, a school that began in a shingled house at 324 Madeline Drive has grown and thrived and changed with the challenges of each decade, and yet, the early founding values that reflected Mary Ranney’s convictions about educating girls shine through, as our alma mater says, “in whatever things we do.” Mary Lowther Ranney chose the path of a single, professional woman, an educator, an architect, and an advocate for women’s rights. Her own path has inspired generations of girls and women to seek and to follow paths of their own. We hope the Celebration of the Century will lead you back to Westridge. For ten decades, Westridge has responded to the challenge of Surgere Tentamus by rising, always rising. Join us for this special week of celebration as we mark the 100 year adventure that is Westridge School, and see how we have exceeded tenfold the early dream of our founders. Join us to rediscover, reconnect and be inspired! Surgere!

Reunion Day FRIDAY MARCH 21
10 a.m.–5 p.m. Valet parking in State Street parking lot. Disabled drop-off at West Madeline Drive gate. Alumnae Welcome and Registration On Centennial Alumnae Day every Westridge alumna is invited to return and remember. Alumnae are invited to participate in engaging master classes taught by current faculty; a combined current and past Glee Club performance, and to enjoy campus architectural tours. This year, former faculty and staff will take part in their own reunion and celebrate with former students and colleagues as the Westridge family reconnects on a grand scale.
10 a.m. Madeline Court
Master Classes for ALUMNAE
11 a.m. and 12 p.m. Both classes are held simultaneously from 11 a.m.–11:45 a.m. and again from 12 p.m.–12:45 p.m. A Conversation with Place
Led by John Cross, 7th Grade English and Upper School Creative Writing In 1967, Allen Ginsberg and friends tried to levitate the Pentagon through the powers of meditation and imagination. Their effort supposedly failed. Let’s gather together, seek inspiration from Elizabeth Bishop, Stanley Plumly, and Robert Frost, and each other, and engage this place, Westridge School, in conversation, levitating ourselves in the process. Gaston Bachelard, in The Poetics of Space, proves “that imagination augments the values of reality.” Gary Zukav, exploring the world of quantum mechanics, acknowledges that “what we experience is not external reality, but our interaction with it.” Let’s play with observation, awe, and transformation.
Braun Music Center Deconstructing the Harem
Led by Sandy de Grijs, Upper School History Although little understood in the West, the Middle Eastern female social structure called the Harem has long been a subject of mystery and fascination. In this class we will examine and deconstruct Western perceptions of the Harem in an effort to see ways in which spaces and places reserved exclusively for women (and girls) can be sources of empowerment.

The wine is a reflection of both art and science, and we are very pleased to pour our Buttonwood Farm wines for you at the Artists’ Reception. For more information on our winery, vineyard and farm, please visit www.buttonwoodwinery.com. — Barry Zorthian ’62 and Seyburn Zorthian ’66 “When I started Westridge in the fifth grade, I was surprised to discover that I did well in class. That hadn’t been true before. Over eight years here, with validation and inspiration from my teachers, I learned to trust my ability to think, and to truly enjoy school, most of the time. That’s what got me through medical school.” — Barry “I graduated with honors in art from Westridge, which gave me the confidence to know that, even though I was not the brilliant academic student of some of my peers, I had something that was highly-valued by an important educational institution.” — Seyburn
“I am delighted to share our hand crafted Firestone Walker ales with the friends and family of Westridge School. I am immensely grateful for my Westridge education and all it has brought to me as an individual; confidence, curiosity, inspiration and grit. I invite you to visit our award winning, world class brewery in Paso Robles or to read about it on www.firestonewalker.com — Kate
Herb Lamb Vineyards Jennifer Zoff Lamb ’70 Celebration of the Century Wine Sponsor In retrospect, I am amazed how much I enjoyed the scholastic and social regime of Westridge, even though my grades may not have reflected my enthusiasm. I am most grateful for the broad and deep educational background and study tools that I learned at Westridge, which prepared me for University, allowing me to easily apply myself to an array of majors from History and Education to Animal Science and Agriculture. My Westridge education gave me the ability to have confidence in whatever I chose to pursue, and become successful in not only the agricultural aspects, but the business, public relations and marketing segments of the wine industry. If you are visiting the Napa Valley, do make an appointment to visit our Tasting Room. You can also find us online at www.herblambvineyards.com or www.twoolddogs.com — Jennifer

surgere tentamus “Surgere Tentamus” We strive to rise in deed And may our Latin motto Help to spur us on full speed.
So it’s “Surgere Tentamus” For Westridge one and all, And it’s “Surgere Tentamus” Our watchword and our call.
Yet within our Latin motto Lies a hidden meaning, too, And we strive to learn its lesson In whatever things we do.
So it’s “Surgere Tentamus” For Westridge one and all, And it’s “Surgere Tentamus” Our watchword and our call.
