Thus endow­ ment, while most often seen as a component of today’s financial balancing act, is in fact a living, growing reflection of the school’s “financial heritage.” In this issue of The Belltower, we will introduce you to more about Oregon Episcopal School’s endow­ ment. Under the leadership of trustee Elisabeth Lyon, the newly formed Endowment Committee is off to a terrific start in giving muchneeded focus to building OES’s endowment. You will also meet two remarkable people: Spencer Collins and Lenore Klink ‘35 JC. Through generous donations, they have each helped build our foundation for the future, albeit in different ways. And you will read that although our endowment is good and growing, it can and must be much bigger if we are to position OES for excellence well into the future. A Letter from the Headmaster Dear Friends, Tradition is a word that appears frequently in writing about schools, and with good reason. For we understand schools through the stories, history, personalities, tri­ umphs, and challenges that collec­ tively give each school its unique character, and these are, of course, the very things out of which tradi­ tion is built. But there is another aspect of a school’s tradition that lies a little deeper, is less immediately appar­ ent, and yet has a profound impact on the school’s operations today. That aspect is the school’s endow­ ment, which represents the legacy of the school’s benefactors to ensure its financial health far into the future. If tradition is seen as something of enduring importance to a school, then endowment must absolutely be included as an essential component of tradition. Endowment gifts made in support of the school long ago are the ones clear the critical importance of the endowment to potential donors, and to point out that a gift to the endowment is that rare opportunity to make a gift that will not only "keep on giving,” but will grow in the process. No other kind of gift has this wonderful feature. The importance of the school’s endowment cannot be overstated. It is a healthy endowment that gen­ erates the revenue streams above and beyond tuition that can help fund financial aid to deserving stu­ dents, provide endowed faculty chairs for distinguished faculty members, and help moderate the growth of tuition. And when proper­ ly managed, an endowment can both generate an important income stream and continue to grow faster than inflation, thus ensuring that future generations will enjoy an even greater benefit than today’s. As important as endowments are to good schools, they can be neglect­ ed. This is because the school community may view support for the endowment as having a little less appeal than, say, support for a new building or athletic facility, or chemistry lab. That is why it is the school’s responsibility to make OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 2 OES enjoys the benefits of its endowment in many ways every year. And it is exciting to imagine how those benefits can grow for future generations of OES students if we all give careful consideration to building OES’s endowment today. Doing so represents the very best kind of investment in the School’s future, and will ensure that OES’s legacy will continue healthy and strong for years to come. Sincerely, Charles K. Bergman Headmaster �mer Endowment S P R 1 9 N G I 9 8 Foundation for the Future In this edition of the Belltower, we explore the importance of a strong endowment to the continued strength and health of Oregon Episcopal School. Throughout the history of OES, many have ] had the foresight and generosity to contribute to the School’s endowment. Two of the most recent such individuals are Spencer R. Collins and Lenore Lavanture Klink ‘35 JC. You can learn more about these two remarkable people on pages 8 and 10. A well-established endowment will protect the School from fluctuating external financial and economic forces. Recognizing the importance of a strong endowment, the OES Board of Trustees has identified enhancement of the School’s endowment as a top priority. To achieve this goal, the Board created an Endowment OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The mission of Oregon Episcopal School Is to prepare students with promise for higher education and lifelong learning and to enhance their intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and artistic growth so that they may realize their power for good as citizens of local and world communities. Founded in 1869 as St. Helens Hall, Oregon Episcopal School today is a pre-K through 12, coeducational, independent, college preparatory school In the Episcopal tradi­ tion. A full boarding program is offered in grades 9 through 12. Exceptional teachers engage students in small classes that stress participation, creativity, and a passion for active learning and living. Within a tradition­ al framework, dynamic programs in the fine and performing arts and athletics encourage student participation. Located on the Pacific Rim, the School emphasizes global studies and an international outlook.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 3 �S P R 1 9 I N G 9 8 | n late January, Sophomore Andy Murray received I notice that she had been selected as The I Oregonian In Education’s 1998 Young Columbus Representative. As the winner of the Challenge, Andy will travel to Italy with 150 other youth from across the United States. They will visit Florence, Pisa, Siena, Tivoli, and Rome. This story began when Andy first saw an article in the October 5, 1997 edition of The Oregonian which featured former President Reagan and how his Alzheimer’s disease has worsened. From the article she gleaned that President Reagan receives plenty of attention, and the best health care avail­ able. After realizing this was probably not the case for most elderly people afflicted with the disease, she was moved to choose a nursing home for her volunteer work project. All OES students are required to perform 120 hours of service learning before they graduate. At least 40 hours must be per­ formed for an off-campus agency. In December, she submitted an essay about her experiences (reprinted below) to The Oregonian In Education’s Challenge. All ninth through twelfth grade students in the five-county area were invited to submit. The initial pool of essays was reviewed by a panel of judges and scored for content and mechanics. The best six essays were chosen and the authors were invited to speak at the Heathman Hotel on January 7. In late-January, Andy received notice that she had won. Community Service Essay ANDY MURRAY December, 1997 “Nurse, help me! OREG O N EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Help me!” An old woman occupying a blue chair with a restraining bar across her lap beckoned eagerly. Startled by her shouts, I looked over and realized belatedly that her cries were directed at me. I walked timidly over to where she sat, and responded, “I’m only a volunteer, but would you like me to call a nurse for you?” She stared at me blankly, then swiftly grabbed my hand and repeated: “Nurse, help me! Help me!” Her calls continued, and I stood floundering as she pulled me closer to her face. I offered: “Well, maybe I can help you. What do you need?” Again, no response. Her grip tight­ ened on my hand, and I struggled apologetically: “I’m very sorry, but I don’t know what I can do for you if you don’t tell me what it is you need." A woman in pink scrubs passed behind me, and replied, “She doesn’t need any help, Honey. She says that to who­ ever walks by, to get their atten- During the first few days of my volunteer work at the Robison Jewish Home, I felt intimidated and unsure of myself. I was instantly surrounded by a community of elder­ ly strangers, many of whom were ailing physi­ cally and mentally. The Alzheimer’s unit was a hall set apart from the others by a locked door. This area generated an atmosphere completely different from the rest of the Home. There was lit­ tle conversation, and only an occasional excla­ mation by a patient or a low, incoherent mum­ bling disturbed the room’s tranquillity. Nurses traced worn paths around the room, issuing food and medi­ cine to each person. tion.” I looked up questioningly at the woman, who was obviously an experienced staff member. Seeming to read my mind, she explained: "It’s because of her dementia—she doesn’t really even know she’s saying it.’’ I realized I had a lot to learn. 4 My purpose was to engage the residents in personal dialogue, which proved difficult because many of my attempts went unanswered. I grew accustomed to silence, but I knew that my pres­ ence was appreciated. Some resi­ dents just held my hand and cried, and others spoke of unidentified �characters and events from their past. One woman said nothing but "I love you,” and “You’re such a sweet girl.” I concluded that if I was only able to say a few words, those would be the words I'd hope to manage as well. The more responsive residents were always friendly, and I usually asked them questions about how their day was, what they had done for a career, or how they liked the meals they were served. They asked me where I went to school, how old I was, and why I chose to expose myself to a “place like this.” At the end of our conversations, we thanked each other for visiting. Although we tended to discuss the same things each time, I always felt a sense of accomplishment when we finished talking. I grew attached to a few residents in particular, and was grateful when I could tell them I’d return just a few days later. While some residents seemed con­ tent and peaceful, others were in a constant state of distress. I could never comprehend their level of anxiety, not having studied the neurological effects of Alzheimer’s disease. I didn’t understand why they had reason to be afraid, and wasn’t sure what caused their trep­ idation. All I could understand were the basic human emotions of fear and depression, which for these people must have been magnified “Although my Oregonian Challenge work is complete, I continue to volunteer at the Robison Jewish Home because my experience there has taught me how to be a better person.” reply was “Yes, you’re fine. There are people here caring for you, and you are in exactly the right place.” I tried to model the nurses’ behav­ ior when I was unsure, and this proved to be the most effective method of acknowledging the patients’ concerns. SPRING 19 9 8 Before my experience at the Robison Jewish Home, I had never seen so many confused and aged people existing together. In their society death and illness were everyday themes, even expecta­ tions. Through my volunteer efforts, I gained compassion for a stage of life which I have not yet experi­ enced, and had previously deemed irrelevant. From the Alzheimer’s patients I realized that, despite mental limitations, the human needs for love and security supersede the barriers of old age and infirmity. by their incapacity to express them­ selves. My attempts at consoling the disturbed residents were mea­ ger and often futile. When asked such questions as “Am I okay?” or “Am I in the right place?,” all I could LOG ON TO EDUCATION. GIVE TO THE 1557-58 OES FUND It’s wonderful to experience the sense of community that sur­ rounds the annual OES Fund drive. Support of this program comes from many different constituencies with varied backgrounds. A stand-out contribution received by the Fund this year was from Kavita Heyn ‘97. As a senior at OES, Kavita volunteered for the Spring 1997 Alumni Phonathon. Originally enticed to fulfill service learning credits, she soon learned how important the OES Fund is to the continued health of the School, as well as the significance of partic­ ipation at any level. Kavita went on to graduate from OES last June as a member of the Cum Laude Society and became a member of the OES Alumni Association. In the fall, Kavita headed to the east coast to attend Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. As a rule this year, college-age OES alumni were not directly asked to give to the OES Fund, recogniz­ ing the limited budgets of college students. What a great surprise it was to open a gift envelope with a contribution from Kavita in it! We are proud to say she is the youngest donor to the OES Fund this year. The Alumni Phonathon, which is coordinated with Upper School stu­ dents, takes place twice a year— once in the fall and again in the spring. The benefits for the students who participate are three-fold: they 5 receive hours credited toward their service learning requirement for graduation, they learn about the OES Fund and its role in the School’s financial well-being, and they are able to converse with alumni from different eras, learning how times have changed, but also have stayed the same. The success of the OES Fund is contingent on the entire communi­ ty’s support. There is still time left to join Kavita and the rest of those who have already participated.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 19 9 8 Endowment Foundation for the Future For 129 years, Oregon Episcopal School has been committed to edu­ cation of the highest quality. Guided by our mission statement, the School encourages creativity, intellectual rigor, inquiry, empathy, and respect for others. To sustain these values and meet the needs of our School in the 21 st century and beyond, we must build an endowment that provides sufficient and predictable income each year. Endowment income can provide support for the School’s educational mission in perpetuity, ensuring not only present, but future quality and continued success. A well-established endowment will protect the School from fluctuating external financial and economic forces. Each year, OES strives to recruit outstanding students, regardless of their financial circumstances. Like many other schools and universities, OES must raise tuition each year to meet the increasing costs of edu­ cation. Through generous and thoughtful gifts, numerous opportu­ nities have been provided for promising students who are unable to meet the costs of an OES educa­ tion. A commitment to financial aid ensures that students with acade­ mic and personal potential will be able to attend irrespective of eco­ nomic factors. Therefore, in order for OES to maintain an affordable tuition and to include students from diverse backgrounds, the endow­ ment must grow. As stated in the OES Strategic Plan, “Our faculty and staff are our most valuable resource.” The teachers at our School are among the finest in their fields. However, there is great competition for teachers of this caliber. The challenge of recruiting and retaining the best faculty requires competitive salaries and opportunities for professional development. Only an increased endowment can secure these for our excellent faculty.

The Rt. Rev. Benjamin Wistar Morris, second Bishop of Oregon, brought the bell, a gift from his Philadelphia parish, to Oregon. The bell has been central to the activities of the School, both in the past and in the present. To honor the founders of the School, and the commitment of those who make planned gifts that perpetuate the future of the OES, we selected this new name. The Society’s cur­ rent members include alumni, past and current parents, and members of the Episcopal Community. Outright gifts, such as the recent contribution of Lenore Lavanture Klink ‘35 JC, are also inspiring examples of philanthropy. Regardless of the type of gift, the result is a commitment to OES which will underpin and enrich the future of the School. �SPRING 19 9 8 Endowment Q&A What is an endowment?

What is the value of our endowment? On February 28, 1998, the OES endowment was valued at $10,765,860. How much is withdrawn annually from the endowment? In the 1997-98 school year, the School will withdraw 4% of the average of the previous three year’s endowment market value, or $253,783. This percentage is expected to increase to 5% for the 1998-99 school year. How do we compare to other schools? Our endowment ranks in the middle of independent school endowments in the Pacific Northwest, and in the lower echelon when compared to similar-sized schools across the nation. Where do the proceeds go? About 60% of the annual withdrawal from the endowment has been restricted by donors. Examples include the Betty Lou Roberts ‘37 Endowment, designated for student financial aid; the Winningstad Chair in the Physical Sciences, held by Dr. William Lamb; and the Edward E. Elisabeth L. Lyon, Chair Ford Endowment Fund which is restricted for faculty development. Elisabeth, parent of two Middle School students and current mem­ ber of the OES Board of Trustees, was President of the Board from 1993 to 1995. She is the Advisory Board Chair for the Saturday Academy, and member of Pathfinder International, an interna­ tional family planning organization. The remaining 40% of the withdrawal has been designated by the OES Board for financial aid and the Beatrice L. Gerlinger Endowed Chair in Mathematics, held by Nancy Doulis.

Collins, delivered three wonderful charitable contributions. The University of Oregon Foundation, Willamette University, and Oregon Episcopal School each received a check in the amount of $1,160,691.37. At OES, the gift has become part of the Spencer R. Collins Scholarship Fund — an endowed fund. ■ OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 8 Spencer was a native of Michigan, but graduated from the University of Oregon in 1921. After graduation he settled in Eugene where he en­ joyed a career as an accountant — advising and investing in many of the leading local businesses. As the city of Eugene grew, he profited from his wise investments, including Rosboro Lumber and Citizens Bank, of which he was a co-founder. Like many people, Spencer Collins left provisions in his will to care for his loved ones. When he died in 1977, trusts were established by his will to provide income for his children and grandchildren during their lifetimes. Upon the death of a beneficiary, Oregon Episcopal School receives a third of the remaining principal of the trust. The gift we received in October resulted from the death of Spencer’s son, Creighton Collins. These funds are then placed in an endowed fund by the School, the interest from which provides financial aid for deserving students. As of December 31, �1997, the value of the Spencer R. Collins Endowment had reached $3.5 million, and is expected to produce approximately $60,000 in scholarship income this school year. Due to this large gift, the amount is expected to jump to $90,000 next year. The gift has also brought the two branches of the family together. Creighton was the trustee for the estate from 1986 until 1997. Upon his death, Spencer’s grandaughters Susan and Felicia, were appointed co-trustees. The two cousins had not known each other before. Felicia, Creighton’s daughter, says her father did not know about Spencer’s other son, Charles, raised and adopted by Spencer as an adult, until after Spencer’s death. Susan’s main memories of Spencer are when he would come over for Sunday dinners. Delivering the checks from the trust gave her a chance to learn more about her grandfather. “When you are young, you don’t really know about ‘grand­ pa’s business.’ This was an oppor­ tunity to see part of his life. Each of the schools had a bit of a different take on Spencer. We were full at the end of the day. We had done a lot of good, as the messenger for him,” recalls Susan of their charita­ ble tour. Felicia agrees, “I was real­ ly proud to give the gifts." During his frequent business trips to Portland, Spencer would often visit Gertrude Fariss, the Head­ mistress of St. Helens Hall, and her husband Chris. Spencer had met Gertrude at a dinner shortly before the Hall’s move to the Nicol Road campus in the mid-1960s. One can imagine they spoke about the impending move and this new era for St. Helens Hall. “Mr. Collins was intrigued with Gertrude Fariss and what she was doing with the school, and I think that ultimately led him to include the school in his estate plans,” says John Lauerman, Director of Development. Through careful thought and dili­ gent planning, Spencer R. Collins has provided for his loved ones and strengthened the programs of Oregon Episcopal School. His thoughtful remembrance for his family and the generous gifts which have ultimately benefited educa­ tional institutions throughout the Willamette Valley are indeed a foundation for the future.

Today, a generous heart and a belief in edu­ cational opportunities, make her a thoughtful benefactor. With her gift of $40,000, the School has estab­ lished the Lenore Lavanture Klink ‘35 JC Scholarship Fund. As an endowed fund, Lenore is generous­ ly building a foundation for the future by providing for deserving students to attend OES. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 10 As a student at the Hall, she excelled in academics and athletics and was involved in the Dramatic Honorary, Science, and French Clubs. However, some of her great­ est achievements were in fencing, a major sport at the Junior College, for which she won the school’s championship medal. (More impressive still, Lenore later won the Women’s Oregon Fencing Competition at the age of 53.) After graduation from the Hall, Lenore transferred to the University of Oregon. Her first year at the University, she lived with two girls from the Hall and held a job as a researcher in the P.E. department. Lenore’s senior year was spent with a family who owned a large hardware store in Eugene. She worked around their home in exchange for room and board. In 1937, with her English Literature B.A. degree in hand, Lenore was prepared for a career in teaching. “Teaching was a profession in my family, and what I always wanted to do. Two of my grandparents were teachers. After their children were born, they went back east to nor­ mal school, because there were no �schools in Oregon at that time which could train them as teachers. They later returned to the West and taught until retirement.” After a year at Sandy Union High School, Lenore then returned to her alma mater, St. Helens Hall, and taught a wide variety of subjects, including fencing and other courses in physical education. Following two years of teaching at the Hall, Lenore married and moved to San Francisco to raise her family of two children. Eventually, she returned again to Portland. After a divorce, Lenore began teach­ ing in the Portland Public Schools where she met Chester Klink, a property broker and teacher at Benson High School. One of his favorite stories was that he sold real estate so he could afford to teach school. Lenore and Chester combined their families and togeth­ er managed and owned property in Portland. However, Lenore missed teaching, and returned to St. Helens Hall from 1960 to 1972, enjoying her French, English, and physical education classes. Fencing was still one of her priori­ ties, coaching her student fencers to victory in several tournaments. As a result of the combined fami­ lies, Lenore has nine grandchildren, whose careers range from film making to family psychology. It was at the suggestion of one of her daughters that she decided to set up a scholarship fund for students at OES. Remembering her time as a student at St. Helens Hall, Lenore said, “I had two wonderful, stimu­ lating years at the Hall. These years gave me the opportunity to begin college, and go on to the University. I will always be thankful for the scholarship that was given to me."

Alumni Board Profiles Dylan Coulter ‘89 In the nine years since Dylan graduated from OES, he received a degree in political science from the University of Oregon, started his own business, and became an art director at adidas, his current posi­ tion. “I feel that my OES experience was very beneficial to what I do now. OES gave me a very solid educa­ tional foundation, while encourag­ ing me to think creatively." As an art director, Dylan is an “idea guy,” creating the concepts for consumer based communications. Dylan also credits OES with giv­ ing him the “tools to think of the possibilities.” After completing the University of Oregon and working for an advertising agency, Dylan and a friend began their own busi­ ness. The two formed a “creative house” and contracted their ser­ vices to companies and advertising agencies. One of their clients, adi­ das, was impressed with their work and eventually offered Dylan and his partner positions with the com­ pany. Although he enjoyed the rewarding experience of working for himself, Dylan likes the resources and opportunities avail­ able at adidas. Barry Daigle ‘80 “I always look for better ways to approach or resolve a problem, focusing on both the short and long term consequences. If there’s an opportunity for improvement, I’ll deal with any added inconvenience and admit that the original idea was flawed.” OES helped lay the groundwork for the development of this thought process Barry applies daily at home, work, and in the community. After Barry graduated from OES, he worked as a merchant marine and served in the United States Marine Corps. In 1993, he received a Bachelor’s degree from Portland State University where he studied political science and philosophy. At present, he works as a general contractor, doing business as Second Wind Construction and prefers designing/building new space for older homes. He also works as research assistant in a neurobehavioral research lab at OHSU where they are studying the “kindling” effects of an anti­ psychotic drug. Barry serves on the board of both the Irvington Community Association and the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods. In 1991 Barry married Bron wen Edwards-Denney, a Catlin Gabel alumna and former Portland Public Schools teacher.

From warming stones, iron pillars reach. Leaves begin to fall hiding grass with rusty browns. The tower pillars point to southern-destined geese, passing over abreast the bell. Cool now, the ground collects the morning frosts. The tree stands naked waiting for its robe of snow to fall from the frozen sky. The cold melts away giving birth to crocus buds; some already bloom beneath the leafy branches. Robins return to build their nests. I N S D I !

There is indeed no challenge greater than developing the leaders we will need to realize the enormous potential for good in the next century, and the eighth­ grade Leadership Program is an excellent example of Oregon Episcopal School’s commitment to fulfilling its responsibility as an educator of future leaders. John W. Gardner has perhaps written more eloquently than any recent author about the challenges of leadership and our need to do a better job as educators in develop­ ing capable leaders for the tasks that lie ahead. In his marvelous book, On Leadership, Gardner writes, “Most men and women go through their lives using no more than a fraction—usually a rather small fraction—of the potentialities within them. The reservoir of unused human talent and energy is vast, and learning to tap that reser­ voir is one of the exciting tasks ahead for humankind. (And) among the untapped capabilities are lead­ ership gifts.” Gardner makes an excellent point, and shows us that an essen­ tial first task we have as educators of leaders is to come to an under­ standing of what leadership really entails. This is especially important since in the last two decades or so the notion of leadership has unfor­ tunately become confused with celebrity, and this confusion is par- L tute brought her that status, and she had the great wisdom to use her celebrity constructively to fur­ ther her cause. Bringing clarity to the real nature of leadership, as opposed to celebrity, therefore becomes criti­ cally important. And in thinking about the true nature of leadership, we are fortunate at OES to have the wisdom of the Episcopal tradition to help guide us. Scripture, in par­ ticular, is illuminating, especially since leadership is the subject of one of Jesus’ greatest lessons— namely, that the essence of leader­ ship lies in service to others. In Mark 10:42-44, Jesus says, “You know that among the Gentiles the recognized rulers lord it over their subjects, and the great make their authority felt. It shall not be so with you; among you, whoever wants to be great must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all.” There is an important link be­ tween this notion of leader-as-servant, the mission of OES, and the superb health of the School today. OES’s mission is “to prepare stu­ dents of promise...so that they may realize their power for good in local and world communities.” Central to 2 this wonderful statement is the concept of good citizenship. Last year the faculty helped bring this idea into sharper focus by writing an elegant companion to the mis­ sion statement that lists what we feel are the essential characteristics of a good citizen. The first charac­ teristic in the list is that good citi­ zens are “those who commit them­ selves to lives of leadership in service to others.” That the idea of service, a cornerstone of OES’s Episcopal foundation, is so clearly alive and well at the School today is tremendously reassuring and should make us all feel very proud. Gardner concludes On Leader­ ship by focusing on the trait of opti­ mism always found in great lead­ ers. He writes, "Out of a positive attitude toward the future comes much of the boldness and courage to risk failure so characteristic of the ablest leaders.” Gardner’s point is extremely important for all of us in the OES family, because we all know the toll that a pervasive cyni­ cism has taken in the U.S. as we close the twentieth century. As adults who care deeply for the welfare of our children, we have much work to do to eliminate that cynicism and reinforce in them a sense of optimism, and it is pre­ cisely for this reason that a focus on optimism is a key element of the program that Charyl and her faculty have designed for OES’s eighth­ graders. In closing, I would like to ask all of you in the OES extended family to help me in our work at the School by making every effort to encourage a positive outlook in the young people you know, help them discover their capacities for leader­ ship, and do everything you can to ensure that they develop a robust faith in themselves and their ability to shape their future. With this as their foundation, they can go forth with confidence, and harness the full power of the spirit of service that lies at the heart of Oregon Episcopal School for the benefit of all mankind.

Flinging herself from a trapeze, a shimmering young artist seems suspended for two, three heartbeats. A friend swings out toward her reaching at the right moment and catches her hands. They swing off together, precari­ ously hinged, triumphant. We watch from below. We hold the safety net. We are astounded, thrilled, terrified by the perfor­ mance. These young people are our daughters, sons, students. They are adolescents stepping out into the world, learning new skills, taking risks, changing and growing minute to minute. We are attentive, supportive, encouraging. Every one of us is needed to hold the net. Our children, our students will make mistakes and occasionally lose their grip but we will be here to support them. Those of us who care about these young people form a home-school partnership to sustain them through these amaz­ ing years. This fall we committed ourselves to an exciting new middle school project-Leadership Week. It brought together eighth grade students, their parents, and school staff to look at who we are, where we are going, how we communicate, and how we solve problems. We cele­ brated our strengths, defined our challenges and considered some solutions. We gave ourselves time to strengthen our connections as a community. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL -& at v< a ▲ Sarah Bramble, Tor Floten, and Julie Krieger pullfrom above, while other classmates lift Jamie Schifffrom below during the eighth grade leadership week ropes course activity. The idea for this project came as a result of our careful reflection on potential areas of growth for our middle school program. We wanted a renewed focus on student leader­ ship, teamwork, communication and collaboration between stu­ dents, faculty, and families. Pieces were added and validated by the work of the drug and alcohol task force. Finally, the effort was blessed by the NAIS theme for this year of Family-School Partnerships. Beginning just two days after the start of school, teams of eighth graders rotated through three full days of activities. Peer counseling, a business simulation, doing the ropes course, and examining the mission and goals of OES were the 4 agenda for the first days. Middle School Head Charyl Cathey is pleased with the opportunities this new program brings. “The eighth graders really set the tone for the student-culture in the Middle School. Setting aside these four days at the beginning of the year underscores the importance of their role as leaders in their school.” Humanities teacher Steve Brennan found the activities to be wonderful, inspirational, and very positive. “The eighth graders were really up to the challenge of these days, and have shown themselves to be a strong and thoughtful class-full of leadership potential." �Lisa Gordon, who teaches GALA (Government and Language Arts), worked with students on the ropes course. She found it an exciting opportunity to work and problem solve in ways different from the usual classroom model. Lisa saw the students eagerly take on the challenges. She noticed in several cases how kids who normally might not step up and lead in the class­ room were able to find a leadership role in this physical environment. The interplay among following, leading, and supporting one anoth­ er to accomplish a goal was one which Charyl Cathey had hoped would be a central learning point for the activity.

Seated, from left, are Wesley Samples, Trudy Samples, Sally Fish, Michael Fish, and Elisabeth Lyon. The week culminated with an all day workshop for parents and faculty that included students in the afternoon. The morning of Wednesday, September 10, was wet and rainy and miserable. But partway through the day the sun broke through the clouds and revealed itself in all its glory. If you walked through Sophonpanich Courtyard in front of the Middle School during this glori­ ous interlude, you would have found a group of parents of eighth graders playing the “yarn game.” In this game, participants stand or sit in a circle and toss a ball of yarn around the circle from one person to the next; creating ▲ Performing a delicate balancing act is a all part of an intertwining being an eighth grader.

Middle School parent Terri Volpe, who has worked as a corporate management consultant, facilitated the business simulation. She believes that we should teach stu­ dents how to form effective teams and how to lead early on. “Kids are straight-forward; they want to do the right thing. I love working with ! 5 The workshop with parents and students gave parents an opportu­ nity to have a structured discussion with their children. In some cases this was an eye opening experience for the parents who had not yet viewed their children in the role of young adult. The students also found this an interesting opportuni­ ty to see themselves through their parents’ eyes. “Our children have attended private schools since they were in pre-K,” says new OES parent Mignon Mazique. “We have done this for a number of reasons — support for values, the academic challenge, a sense of community. For the first time, we feel like we have found that. It’s a great feeling to have the ‘worth’ of a private education vali­ dated in this way.” Mignon also found confidence in remarks made by Headmaster Charlie Bergman. “It was nice to hear the Head speak about the long term and the future, and know that at OES there is a forward looking view." As a new­ comer to OES, she also enjoyed the chance to meet other parents and have developed, thoughtful conversations. Coming into a new school, her daughter Leah also found the week to be a great intro­ duction to her classmates. Leah does have one regret: “We should have started doing this on the sec­ ond day!" Cindy McEnroe knows the week’s events have had a profound impact. “As I walk in the halls, I hear differ­ ent conversations, conversations OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 19 9 7 about honesty, fairness, kindness, and tolerance. These have always been issues for students, but I didn’t hear these things last year. We are now, in October, where we would normally be in March. We will be able to accomplish some great new things by getting this early start.” When asked if this will become a yearly event, Middle School Head Charyl Cathey replies, “We will definitely do this again with eighth graders as a ‘rite of passage’. Because of the great parent response, we are looking at some similar types of things to do with sixth and seventh grade parents.” ▲ Parents (seated on chairs) Jane Adams, Laurie Crossman, Nikki Hatton, Linda Dickinson, and Cathy Krieger gathered with students Jamie Schiff.

The idea of “citizen” is expanded upon in this piece and lists what we feel are the essential characteristics of the good citizen. Central to our definition is the idea of leadership. The purpose of Oregon Episcopal School is to prepare students with promise for higher education and lifelong learning and to enhance their intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and artistic growth so that they may realize their power for good as citizens of local and world com­ munities. OES believes that good citizens: ■ commit themselves to lives of leadership in service to others; ■ view themselves as part of a whole, working and playing cooperatively with others to better the communities of which they are a part; ■ care deeply about the welfare of others and understand that love is the most powerful force for bettering society; ■ hold their honor sacred, living lives of integrity and truth; ■ respect the rights and opinions of others, and the institutions that are the foundation of a democratic society; ■ understand the power of optimism in engaging the forces of good; ■ fulfill their responsibility to society in exchange for the rights and privileges it confers; ■ work toward physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being in the knowledge that a vigorous and active citizenship is impossible without it; and ■ act on their convictions with perseverance and courage.

Interview with Wayne Drinkward On October 13, the faculty, staff, and administration of OES spent the day at a special retreat with the Board of Trustees. This session, held at the Franciscan Renewal Center near Lewis and Clark College, gave everyone involved a chance to get to know each other and the work that each of us do. To help share this knowledge, John Lauerman, Director of Development, interviewed OES Board of Trustees President, Wayne Drinkward. JL: Why does OES have a Board of Trustees? WD:The Board of Trustees is charged with the responsibility of managing the affairs of Oregon Episcopal School, a nonprofit corporation organized for the pur­ pose of operating a primary and secondary school and offering its students a superior education in a Christian atmosphere. JL: What does the Board of Trustees do? WD:The Board of Trustees has a number of specific responsibilities. Among them are determining the School’s mission and policies, hiring the Head of the School, supporting the Head and reviewing his or her performance, ensuring effective organizational planning, ensuring adequate financial resources, determining and moni­ toring the School’s programs and services, enhancing the School’s public image, and assessing its own performance. WD: There are 25 members of the Board of Trustees. Two of the trustees are the Bishop of the Diocese of Oregon who serves as Chairman of the Board, and the Rector of the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist. The Diocesan Convention elects nine Episcopal Trustees who are recommended by the Diocesan Nominating Com­ mittee. The Bishop appoints the remaining trustees who are recom­ mended by a Committee on Trustees. The Headmaster, the Chair of Volunteers’ Common Link, the President of the Alumni Associ­ ation and the Chair of the Pacific Rim Council serve as ex-officio trustees. Trustees are selected for the talents they bring to the Board and for their willingness to commit those talents to the interest of the School. We look at a breadth of issues and diversity of skill sets so we have legal representation, finan­ cial expertise, educational experi­ ence, etc. Finally, we look for a mix of gender, race and other types of diversity so the Board looks and feels like our community. JL: How long do trustees serve on the Board? WD: Elected or appointed trustees serve three years terms and may not serve more than two consecu­ tive terms. JL: Are trustees paid for their service? WD:No, trustees are not paid, they serve on a voluntary basis. In fact, trustees are expected to provide leadership in the area of fund rais­ ing and development. One hundred percent of the Board contributes each year to the OES Fund. Like­ wise, 100 percent of the Board contributed to the most recent capital campaign which raised $4.5 million for the construction of the new Middle School and the renovation of Bishop Dagwell Hall. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 12 JL: How is the Board structured? WD:The Board structure includes a Chairman who is always the Bishop, a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. There is an Executive Committee of six people that is charged with over­ seeing the work of the Board and managing specific agendas. In addition, there are several standing committees that work in specific areas to support the activities of the Board. This year, we are experi­ menting with some smaller “mini­ boards” which will meet in alternate months to discuss key issues relat­ ed to our Strategic Plan objectives. JL: Are trustees the only people who serve on committees? WD:No. Committee membership may include people from outside of the Board of Trustees. These people are chosen because they represent expertise not represented on the Board. Their input and rec­ ommendations as well as those of the committee flow up to the full Board for discussion and approval. JL: How often does the Board meet? WD: Typically, the Board meets monthly during the School year. Committees may meet more fre­ quently. JL: What is the role of the Episcopal Church in the gover­ nance of the School? WD:The Church is actively interest­ ed in seeing that the School is managed in the spirit that respects the Episcopal tradition, but the Church does not determine the curriculum or the specific nature of how that education is delivered. They have made specific efforts to make OES a welcoming kind of community for people of all faiths. �our goals. We have a terrific student body. Our emphasis on developing global citizens is very exciting for us as we implement programs for the future. JL: What is the trustees’ relation­ ship with parents? WD:The trustees serve the organi­ zation as a whole rather than any special interest group or constituen­ cy. We strive to maintain indepen­ dence and objectivity and do what a sense of fairness, ethics, and per­ sonal integrity dictate. Many of the trustees are parents, but they are not members of the Board solely by virtue of their being parents. We do look to parents as well as other constituents as being central to our decisions, and they are wel­ come to attend our meetings. JL: What is the trustees’ relation­ ship with the faculty, staff, and administration? WD: The Board’s mission is to work on strategic planning and policy for the long-term benefit of the School. The faculty and staff, under the direction of the administration, are charged with the day-to-day man­ agement of the School. Our Board meetings typically include the Headmaster, the Heads of each of the divisions, the Director of Admissions, Director of Develop­ ment, and Chief Financial Officer, so all issues that are discussed and decisions that are made are done in the presence of and with their full input. We do look to them to imple­ ment policy and to deal directly with parents and students on a day-to-day basis. JL: What are some of the current issues before the Board? WD: This year, we are looking at several areas. We are currently developing a Strategic Plan which allows us to identify key issues for the next five years and hopefully beyond. We are updating some of the past work and introducing some new priorities so we can share a common framework with parents, students, faculty, and alumni about what the School needs to be work­ ing on. We are also establishing priorities for those items. Some of the key areas in front of us are the completion of the Master Plan, continuing to improve faculty A U T U M N 1 9 9 7 JL: What motivated you to get involved with the Board of Trustees? ▲ Wayne Drinkward compensation levels, building an endowment that will help support our financial plan and lessen our dependency on tuition, improving communication between our vari­ ous constituencies, and introducing a higher level of understanding as to evaluation and accountability for delivering the product we promise. These are long term discussions that need to involve everyone, and hopefully we will identify sub-issues which we can work on to improve the value of an OES education. WD:My wife, Julie, and I have four children. Daniel ‘95 and David '97 attended OES and are now in col­ lege. Our son, James, is in ninth grade and our daughter, Anne, is in third grade. Their OES education has been very valuable and they have turned out to be great people. I want to give something back to OES. I have about a 25 year span of history in my direct family that will be affected by what I give, and I hope to be able to help improve the kind of educational opportunity not only for everyone who is here now, but for future generations as well. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of OES and the volunteer community. It is really an exciting endeavor when people work together as much as they do at OES for the benefit of our students and each other. I am fortunate to be able to help. JL: What lies ahead? WD: I believe the School is in the best condition it has ever been in. We are fully enrolled and we are doing a good job of delivering a quality education to our students. The educational world in general, however, has a number of con­ cerns that will inevitably affect us. We see these concerns in the pub­ lic sector and in a number of areas around us in which people want to understand and redefine the role of education. We are also seeing increased competition from other types of independent schools in our vicinity. The world around us is changing and we need to under­ stand this and adjust accordingly. We are excited about moving into our second year with Charlie Bergman as Headmaster and help­ ing to form long-term relationships with the administration, faculty and staff that will help us accomplish O R EGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 13 �AUTUMN 19 9 7 Ek Gj-awlt! F e Fencing jD att OES O E S espite its violent and deadly roots the modern and safe sport of fencing is gaining populari­ ty in the United States, especially at Oregon Episcopal School. Colleen Grace Olney was the OES fencing coach from 1971 until her untimely death in 1995. During her years at OES she worked tirelessly to share the sport she loved with as many young athletes as possible. The OES fencing facility at SPARC was named in her honor in June 1995. Salle Olney (/a salle is French for “room”) is one of the finest fenc­ ing facilities in the Northwest and will host the Junior Olympic Qualify­ ing Meet this coming December. Following the death of Colleen Olney, Ed Korfanty assumed lead­ ership of the fencing program at OES. Since 1993, Ed has been the Head Fencing Master of the Oregon Fencing Alliance, the Oregon Divi­ sion of the United States Fencing Association, a role that he contin­ ues today. Before coming to Oregon, Ed was the assistant fencing coach at the University of Notre Dame and coach of the Indiana Fencing Academy. An exciting aspect of coaching for Ed is introducing the sport to young athletes. “In the United States it is hard to get kids. Every sport pulls them—soccer, baseball, football— so I start working with the kids when they are young.” Building on the already strong, established program, Ed has con­ tinued to increase the popularity of fencing at the School. There are now nearly 40 students involved in the program. Sixth grader Phillip Koop has been with the program for five years and has seen the growth. “I used to be the only fencer in my age group. Now there are more.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL A Sixth grader Phillip Koop practices his epee while Head Fencing Coach Ed Korfanty watches his technique. Seventh grader Patrick Ghattas has been fencing sabre for four years and has learned a great deal from the experience. He credits his coach with helping him to grow. When asked what he has learned, Patrick responds, “how to make your opponent short, and when you lose to go up and shake their hand. Ed taught me that." OES parent and fencing club president Grant Farr confirms this aspect of the sport. “Despite fencing’s bloody roots, it teaches honor and the rules of decorum. It is also an unusual sport so it fosters a sense of camaraderie and a lot of pride.” Another exciting thing about the OES fencing pro­ 14 gram for Grant is that OES has so many athletes who are ranked at all age and skill levels. This past July, The United States Fencing Association held its National Championships in Santa Clara, California. Approximately 1,350 fencers competed in 68 events ranging from Under-10 to Veterans and Wheelchair. Of the 41 states sending athletes to the event, Oregon had the fourth largest contingent with 59 fencers. �AUTUMN 19 9 7 By the time the dust had settled on the piste, five OES students had received medals in the following events.

More than 300 athletes from around the world had the opportunity to meet and practice their skills. He also finds that the discipline of fencing helps him in many situations. “The mental aspect of the sport is at least 10 times much more important than the physical. You can prepare for a match all you want, but if your mind isn’t in the game you can go down in the first round. Everything is like that.” Once students graduate from OES there are many opportunities for them to use their skills. Seth hopes to go to the Olympics and is very matter-of-fact about the possibility. “The opportunity is there. I just have to seize it. The average age of the mens’ epee team is about 30, so I have time. I am just at the beginning of my career." Two other examples of post-OES fencing success are alumnae Claudette de Bruin '92 and her sister Monique ‘95. Both received full-ride athletic scholarships. Claudette attended Notre Dame where she received a degree in Mathematics and Monique is currently studying at Stanford University. Seth has been fencing epee for the past six years. He really enjoys the opportunities for travel and meeting new people that fencing provides. For example, Seth spent KNOW YOUR WEAPON The modern sport of fencing has three different weapons. Each weapon has a different method of scoring touches and its own strategy for offense and defense. The foil is the modern version of the court sword. A foil is very light and about 35 inches long. Touches with a foil are scored only with the point on the trunk of the body. The epee is the same length as a foil, but heavier. It also has a larger hand guard and a more rigid blade. Like the foil, touches are scored only with the point, but can be landed anywhere on the body. The sabre, similar in size and weight to an epee, is a weapon for cutting and thrusting—a modern version of the slashing cavalry sabre. The guard on a sabre curves around the hand to protect the knuckles. Touches are scored any place on the body above the waist. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 15 �AUTUMN 19 9 7 HELEN CURTIS HYDE (1910 - 1997) T T777”hen she graduated from St. Helens Hall in 1929, Helen Curtis 1/1/ Hyde “willed” to one of her junior classmates her “ability to F F finish tests with lightning speed.” It was also predicted in her Delphic Yearbook that one day Helen would be “touring the country with Fanchon and Marco Stage Revues...as the chief dancer in the adagio group.” Although never a performer, Helen continued with post graduate classes at the Hall, worked at the English Hat Shop, cared for her mother and aunt, and became involved with the Episcopal Church and the Rosicrucian Order AMORC. And, while it is not known whether her friend improved upon her test timing, Helen later created another will which is certain to benefit many OES students. Helen was known to plan for everything. Whether it was organizing her sixtieth class reunion or preparing for potential disasters, Helen was ready. The final proof of her diligence was evidenced in her estate plans. In December, 1996, OES was informed that Helen had named the school as a beneficiary in her will. Helen died on July 3, 1997. From her modest estate, OES will receive approximately $300,000 for an “endowed scholar­ ship for deserving students.” This remarkable gift is a tribute not only to the “Hall,” but to Helen, who thoughtfully and generously planned for the future. LOG ON TO EDUCATION.. GIVE TO THE The 1997-98 OES Fund is off to a fantastic start. Through the support and dedication of alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, and friends of OES, the goal of $375,000 will be easily achieved. The theme for this year’s OES Fund is Log on to Education, celebrat­ ing technology’s growing role in an OES student’s education. Many members of the OES community may remember when a typewriter or calculator was a novelty in the classroom. Today at the School, students begin working on comput­ ers in the Lower School, and con­ tinue as they process through the Upper School, where computer use is as common as books are in the classroom. To recognize this importance, the OES Fund has established a web site that k will keep the OES community abreast on the Fund’s progress throughout OES FUND the year. You can visit the site at http://www.oes.edu/give/OESFund. The OES Fund helps Oregon Episcopal School continue to be financially strong. A student’s tuition only covers 77% of the cost involved with an education at the School. The OES Fund helps to bridge this gap. Excellent teachers, small classes, and individual atten­ tion are just a few things OES is able to provide for its students with the support of the Fund. When you support the OES Fund you are helping to ensure that students today are able to not only experience what alumni of the School fondly remember, but also to move ahead and become a part of OES’ history. There are various ways in which you can make a contribution to the OES Fund. By using the attached envelope you can make a donation by check, OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 16 cash, or credit card. Or you may want to consider making a gift using appreciated stock. This option of giving has grown in popu­ larity because the benefits to the donor are three-fold: contributions to OES are 100% tax deductible, capital gains taxes can be avoided, and, of course, you are helping OES do what it does best—provide an exceptional educational experi­ ence for its students. The OES Fund is the only program that requires the collaboration of all of the School’s constituents to be successful and reach its goal. If you have any questions about the OES Fund, you can call Jennifer Calhoun, Director of Annual Giving, in the Development Office at (503) 768-3180. ��1 HEADMASTER’S REPORT Dear Friends, “¥"t’s a pleasure and an honor to I thank the entire OES community JLfor its wonderful generosity in making 1996/97 another great fundraising year. This year was my first opportunity to observe closely the extraordinary energy and dedica­ tion of die many individuals who bring such success to our develop­ ment efforts. And as I review the many marvelous impressions of my first year as headmaster, the affection for the School manifested by those individuals has to rank among the most moving and profound. A few examples immediately come to mind. First, it is no exaggeration to say that OES has a team of volunteers that is second to none in its sheer energy and creativity, and this is nowhere more evident than in their work with our annual Auction. The Auction is a stupendous production by any mea­ sure, and its success is a tribute to our volunteers’ organization and vision. Trustees, too, deserve mention for their generosity and their vision in ensuring the School has an endow­ ment big enough to provide a suffi­ cient financial base to serve OES well into die future. And a special mention goes to John Lauerman and his team of professionals in our development office who guided our development efforts through the year and have mapped clearly our needs and strate­ gies for the future. Finally, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the many donors whose generosity has been the key to achieving our critical fund raising goals. This year was a “trial run” for our new Middle School building, and I am pleased to report that it has surpassed all our expectations. It is simply a marvelous building in which our fac­ ulty can now cany out their essential work as educators, freed from the many restraints with which they had to live in the past. And as we begin the 1997/98 school year, I am confi­ dent that the renovated Bishop Dagwell Hall will bring a new energy and vitality to the School’s curriculum in the arts. To all of the donors who made these two new buildings possi­ ble, it is my very great pleasure to say “thank you” once again. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the volunteers who dedi­ cated their time to the School’s vari­ ous fundraising efforts. Liza Lilley ‘74 is to be commended for her gallant efforts heading up the 1996-97 OES Fund volunteers, raising more than $357,000 toward our operating ex­ penses. Judy Jensen and her corps of volunteers set the stage for the “Lights! Camera! Auction!", securing $130,000 to be used for faculty and staff devel­ opment and the construction of a cover for the sport court behind the new Middle School building. Other thanks are due to two individu­ als who have spent the past few years devoting their time to leading the OES community. John von Schlegell step­ ped down this summer as President of the Board of Trustees, after serving with energy, creativity, and much good humor for two years. I owe a special thanks to John for his many efforts to ensure a smooth transition as my family and I began our new lives as part of the OES community last year. Wayne Drinkward has taken over the helm, and has already begun to address the challenges the job of Board President entails. Additional thanks go to Jack McCann. Jr. ‘84 whose term as President of the Alumni Association ended in June. His commitment not only to OES alumni, but also to the St. Helens Hall, Junior College, and Bishop Dagwell Hall alumni was far-reaching. Jack’s strong leadership and affection for OES provided a vision for the Alumni Association, and allows the new President, Max Miller ‘74, to easily step into place. My first year at OES has been a won­ derful adventure, and I feel honored to be in the company of a superbly talented group of educators and pro­ fessionals. I look forward with great excitement to what lies ahead, and to working with the entire community in carrying out OES’s marvelous mission as a nurturer and shaper of the “citi­ zens for good” who will lead us into the next century. Sincerely, Charles K. Bergman Headmaster THE MUSTARD SEED 18 X �REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Dear Family and Friends of OES: OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Board of Trustees 1996-97 TT f you serve long enough in a | volunteer capacity at a school JL like OES, it is possible to discern trends and a little of where we are on the continuum of the School’s 128 year history. Those of you who donate your time, money, and loyalty to OES are links in a chain—a chain that grows longer and stronger each year. Certain "links” in our chain need to be acknowledged in particular: Suzie Gundle, who headed Common Link; Liza Lilley 74, OES Fund Chair; Judy Jensen, who ran our fantastic auction; and Jack McCann ‘84, who represent­ ed the longest segment of our history as Alumni President. New volunteers will lake their places, each adding their own style to the job, doing their part, continuing the trend. I have been fortunate to serve as Board President with a Board of T Trustees which is excellent and getting better every year. In particular, H I’d personally like to thank Wayne Drinkward (my successor), Chris Kitchel, Sheryl Acheson, Bishop JJ Ladehoff, and Elisabeth Lyon (my predecessor). These trustees, and many others, kept me on course. This has not always been easy! The Rt. Rev. Robert Ladehoff, Chairman of the Board Mr. John E. von Schlegell, President Ms. Sheryl Acheson, Vice President Mr. Wayne Drinkward, Treasurer Ms. Christine Kitchel, Secretary It is an exciting new era at OES. We have all of you who support our school, year in and year out, to thank. This Mustard Seed is— again—dedicated to you.

The money raised by the 1997 OES Auction is the result of incredible commit­ ment from our community. Thank you to Mary McDonald-Lewis for creat­ ing our theme which kept us happily brainstorming. Thanks to Bob Greenberg who seemed to reside in the auction office while updating our new comput­ er system. A special thank you to Hal Phillips for cre­ ating magic with his hightech slide show. (And to the Upper School A Capella choir with their amazing talents.) Also, thanks to the continuous support of the OES Development Office and many other faculty and staff members. Thanks to Pat Karamanos for her wis­ dom and patience. And finally, thanks to the literal cast of thousands listed in these pages who, through hard work and donations, made the Lights! Camera!

If you are reading the Belltower for the first time in a long time, we are achieving two of our goals. If you are reading this issue of the Belltower and having some fond memory of a fall day at St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, or OES, or of talking with a fellow alum or former teacher, we are really regis­ tering success. “Not very lofty goals,” you say. Not true. Our goals are actually simple, but quite lofty. We want to continue to reach you. We want to reach again those we may have temporarily lost. When we reach you, we want to stimulate your curiosity about other alumni and about the school. Ideally, we would like to get you on campus and get you involved with some­ thing at the school. Those are our goals. They may sound simple. They aren’t all easy, though. There are a lot of us, and we are spread over multiple locations, multiple decades, multiple schools, and multiple campuses. There are many vehicles for your involvement. We just had the alum­ ni soccer tournament. The late-80’s team won. Want to play next year? There is also three-on-three bas­ ketball coming up. Would you like to be a mentor to a recent grad? Would you like to talk to students about your career or theirs? Do you want to have a reunion? Do you want to attend an alumni function at a local brew pub or art gallery? How about attending an alumni reception in New York, or maybe you would like to host one in your home town? You could come to Founders’ Day and see one of the truly great among us become an officially "distinguished” alum. You can attend the auction. You could just come stroll around campus and talk to a long time friend like Father Roy, David Streight, or a new comer like Sarah Markuson or Wendell Lee. You could come to an Alumni Board meeting. The next one is December 9. Our mission is to keep you informed about these opportunities, create more opportunities for you, and get more of you involved. As C.R. Duffie ‘71 says at every Alumni Board meeting, “We don’t want any of you to think that you only hear from us when we are asking for money.” Sincerely, ▲ Max Miller, /r. *74 officially assumed office July 1, taking overfor now past president Jack McCann, Jr. 84 1997-98 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION BOARD Daniela Brod ‘89 Dylan Coulter ‘89 Beverly Hein Culp *47 JC Barry Daigle ‘80 Marilyn Devault ‘67 C.R.

Currently the Director and Senior Latin Banking Analyst at USB Securities, a subsidiary of the Union Bank of Switzerland, Brent states that “no one wakes up one day wanting to be a banking ana­ lyst."

At die center of this economic activity is banking.” and grow. At any given time, some­ where there is a banking crisis."

Now it's more about convenience: plastic, access cards to cash and financing." AUTUMN 19 9 7 Although he is graduate of Lawrence University of Wisconsin with a degree in Biology7 and received an MBA from New York University Graduate School of Business, some of his most important learning occurred at Oregon Episcopal School. “At OES, I was taught how to apply7 problem sets and look for differences and similarities. This is a skill I use every7 day." The School also provided Brent with other learning points. “Thanks to the dorm masters. I learned the essential escape and invasion technique, and how to light a cigarette in a rain storm at night without revealing my position.” Today Brent continues to be a student, studying Spanish, which he describes as the language of economics. Brent and his w’ife Nina have three children, Pearce, Hunter, and Esme. They look forward to hosting the New York Alumni Reception at their home in February.

She gave the following speech. This little talk was written many years ago for the Parent's Club ofSt. Helens Hall, so it s somewhat dated, at least the start of it is. The rest of it is just as true now as it was then. When Gertrude Faris (she was the Head Mistress at that time) asked me to speak tonight. I said, “You mean three minutes?" And she said, “Oh no—twenty." I told her I was strictly a three minute speaker, but I would try to stretch it to 3 1/2 minutes. I did take a public speaking class when we were living in Washington, DC. but if the professor from the University of Maryland could see me now. reading my speech. 1 would have flunked the course. Lady Bird Johnson was in my class of 25 for a period of 12 weeks. I guess she was learning how to make a speech as the wife of the President of the United Stales, and I was learning how to make a three and a half minute speech to the Parent s Club of St. Helens Hall. Lady Bird 's name was great to drop in 1966- rather passe in 1997. Gertrude Faris suggested that I say something about what St. Helens Hall meant to me. I should amend that statement and say what St. Helens Hall still means to me. i To go back a few years, more than I like to think about, my modier took a look at her long-legged, tom-boy daughter who did not like to study, and said to herself, “What that girl needs is more couth.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL So mother made a date with Sister Superior and we arrived at the por­ tals of the “Hall,” me with fear and trepidation. We were ushered into the beautiful parlor, and Sister Superior was so charming that I relaxed completely to the extent that when she said something nice about my lady-like, English-born mother, I said, “Oh yes, my mother is a good sport!" Well, that was the beginning, albeit, not much of one. However, when we told her I was Episcopal­ ian. she said, “Oh, one of our very own girls." One of the stained glass windows is in the chapel on the campus, as is the large bell that came around the Hom and rings for Oregon Episcopal School. Woe to the girl who giggled in chapel when Sister Katherine Angela s long fingers were coaxing music out of the wheezy old organ. I'm sure all alumnae will remember the motto that hung over the proc­ tor's desk in the study, all done in large old English printing “Dare to be true, nothing can need a lie, the fault that needs it most grows two thereby.” Gertrude was Miss Houk then, and only a few years older than I She drilled English into my head so that I can still remember about nomina­ tive and objective cases. She also taught Art History, and to this day, I can probably still name a Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian column. The teachers did the academics, and then there was the body building department. There were horseback rides at Nicol's Riding Academy, where the campus is now located, and the one tennis court. One of my proudest moments was when Sister Superior presented me with a little silver cup for winning a tennis match. The silver peeled off after a couple of years, but 1 still cherish it. The mainstay for the body beautiful was the basketball court. You played basketball, or else! It was an open shed with just a roof and no sides. Believe me, you kept moving to keep warm. Well, I fancied myself quite a player, always “center” because I was so tall. This was just before bobby socks and shorts; we wore those awful lisle hose dial bagged at the knees and ankles, and large bloomers. A few years ago, my husband pul up a basketball hoop for our daugh­ ter and three sons. I was the first one out saying, “Now, this is how you do it, children," shooting for the basket, and feeling pretty smug. About that time, my husband came out and said, “Look out boys, here comes one of St. Helens Hall's origi­ nal bloomer girls." Believe me that took the starch right out of my bloo-I mean middy blouse. The spiritual, ethical, and moral departments were in the delicate hands of, as my father used to call them, the “little sisters." They saw we were all blue veiled and lined up for worship every morning. Their ambiance permeated the atmosphere of the quiet, peaceful chapel, from the kneeling benches to the red sanctuary light that mesmerized me. 50 ▲ Muriel Gabriel Heltzel ‘30 speaks about her experiences at St. Helens Hall during the 1997 Reunion Weekend Luncheon. 1 wonder how many St. Helens Hall girls have turned out to be tireless workers in their churches. I am sure it can be traced to early training by the Sisters and for the force of good it represents in the community. Well, the teachers and the Sisters brain-washed, molded, scolded, educated, loved, and understood us, and in a few years’ time, a reason­ able facsimile of what young ladies should be marched up the aisle of Trinity Church to the tune of “Ancient of Days.” We were in our white robes and mortar boards, clasping large bouquets. The school's motto was, “that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.’’ They had polished the corners the best they could with the material they had, and it was up to us to build our lives on the foundation they had given us. �1950 Class Notes 1930 In a note sent earlier this year, Dorothy Durgan Thomas ‘35 JC writes that she and her husband, Marion Thomas, have been married since 1937, the same year they both graduated from Oregon Stale Uni­ versity.

(They were born on the same day!) The reunion weekend is always dif­ ficult for me because it falls on the weekend before our school lets out and there is always a lot of prepara­ tion for those good-bye events at school. I’d love letters or calls to hear how you are doing and what you all did at the reunion. [For Rebecca’s address, please con­ tact the Alumni Office.1 Currently.

More than 700 breweries, micro-breweries, and brewpubs, many of them based in Portland, have sprung to life around the country. Debenedetti, who graduated with a degree in English from Whitman College in 1996, began his Watson studies in Niger and other West African countries where sorghum and millet beers are brewed in a manner similar to that which was used in Mesopotamia thou­ sands of years before the birth of Christ. He then traveled to Europe, stopping in the United Kingdom, where wood caskconditioned ale breweries dot the isles; Belgium, where brew­ eries are operated in secretive monasteries by cloistered monks; and Germany and Bavaria, from which American brewing traditions are primarily derived, and where beer and brewing are staples of life for everyone. Now back in the Portland area. DeBenedetti describes his trav­ els as an opportunity of a life­ time, and encourages all OES students to look for colleges which offer the chance to apply to the Watson Fellowship Program. Currently, he is com­ pleting liis final report for the Watson Foundation and look­ ing for a job in the arts. DeBenedetti recently returned from a 12-month trek from West Africa to Europe to study a variety of ancient, traditional brewing techniques. His over­ seas study project was chosen for funding by the Thomas J. Watson Fellowship Program. More than 1,000 graduating seniors competed for sixty 1996 Watson Fellowships. Recipients were chosen on the basis of character, leadership potential, willingness to immerse them­ selves in new cultures, and the creativity and personal signifi­ cance of their proposed pro­ jects. The Watson program is designed to give individuals the opportunity to pursue their passions. Established by the family of IBM founder Thomas J. Watson in 1968, eligibility to apply for the fellowship is lim­ ited to graduates of a select group of about sixty small lib­ eral arts colleges. DeBenedetti focused on Africa's and Europe’s small, tra­ ditional brewers, those who make only enough beer for a household or a local communi­ ty. “My closest attention in each place was on the traditional brewing techniques, which to some extent have been sup­ planted by technology. The largest breweries in Europe and Africa have astounding produc­ tion levels that span the globe. They are a far cry from the ancient brewers who produced only enough beer for the household, as the female “brewsters” of Bavaria tradition­ ally did—or even for the local community, as thousands of tiny breweries have and contin­ ue to do throughout all of Wales, for instance. Those are the brewers which interested me the most—those who continue to craft brews from generations-old recipes and millennia-old techniques.” E-mail The Alumni Office has wired itself into the Internet.

We will be sending a class list with this information to each of you soon! Crossman, Brian bcrossman@pomona.edu “Brewing is a passion and way of life for a great many people all over the world today,” DeBenedetti states. "It is an art form, a social uniter, a medium for cultural differentiation and beneficial to science. And it has become a major part of the cul­ ture in which I was raised in the Pacific Northwest.” His study included analysis of sev­ eral questions, such as the ways in which brewing perpet­ uates social roles, and the nature of the relationship between religion and brewing. He notes that while the religion of Islam prohibits the use of alcohol in the former countries of Mesopotamia, Christian monasteries throughout France and Belgium have brewed some of the world's finest beers for centuries.

John F. Kennedy made a wonderful comment that goes to the heart of the matter: “The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction, in the life of a nation, is close to the center of a nation’s purpose—and is a test of the quality of a nation’s civilization.” Surely Kennedy’s remark illuminates a crucial point— namely, that the arts, as expres­ sions of the human spirit, must always be a vibrant and essential part of our lives. This issue of the OES Belltower cel­ ebrates the arts at OES. Such a celebration is fitting: first, it is a chance for us to show off a bit and tell you something about the won­ derful life of the arts at the School. But it also offers a chance to reflect more generally about the impor­ tance of the arts in our lives. It is a fact that a prominent feature in the press and in our national dia­ logue today is economics. We talk much of an unprecedented domes­ tic bull market, the emerging mar­ kets of Asia and Eastern Europe, NAFTA and the EC, the federal deficit and a balanced budget, and our fiscal and monetary policies. Given the extraordinary changes in the global economic picture during the last ten years, particularly with the end of the Cold War, it is under­ standable that we pay so much attention to economics. Yet the weight of economics in the way we view our world today points to some important questions that deserve careful thought. Is eco­ nomics really the most important thing in our lives? Is the true mea­ sure of a society’s worth the value of the goods and services it pro­ duces? Is efficient production the chief end of civilization? Here is where our celebration begins, for the arts are indeed alive at OES. When I first moved into my office at OES, there were two won­ derfully inviting wall spaces left unadorned. When I asked if student art might bring life to those spaces, the answer was a resounding “yes,” and since the start of school I have had the privilege of being the chief patron of an extraordinary gallery of student paintings that brings creativity and color to the place where I work. A similar gallery in the new Middle School building is always a treat to visit, and a mar­ velous tribute to the work that art teacher Matt Lyon does with some very talented Middle-Schoolers. Drama and music, too, are a real tribute to the talents of the arts faculty at OES. Those of you who saw the Middle School’s produc­ tion of The Pirates of Penzance, under Father David Pace’s direc­ tion and with musical coordination by Adam Steele, or Jack O’Brien’s marvelous all-school production “The Family in American Theater,” know well the faculty strength that underlies drama at OES. And when it comes to the early introduction of the arts to our younger students, the Lower School faculty sparkles with creativity. Recently, for exam­ ple, my daughter Elizabeth, now in the first-grade, proudly showed me a “coiled” pot crafted under the watchful eye of Shelley Staffer; sturdy and colorful, it is for Elizabeth (and her Daddy!) a true work of art. Shelley’s colleagues Diane Flack, a gifted calligrapher, and Jane Kirkpatrick, whose talents range from batik to jewelry, also bring the arts to life for our Lower Schoolers. The mission of OES calls for us “to enhance artistic growth” so that our students may become “citizens for the good” in the truest sense. That the mission statement specifi­ cally mentions the arts reflects its wisdom: if our work as citizens is, ultimately, to create a society in which our lives have meaning in the deepest sense, then we simply cannot neglect the arts, for it is in the arts that the human spirit finds its greatest expression. And it is through the arts that we can bring balance to the economic imperative of our times. I encourage you to visit our campus and witness the transformation of Bishop Dagwell Hall, formerly the Middle School, into a wonderful new fine arts facility. The new building is slated to open for all our young artists this coming fall. Enjoy this issue of the Belltower, and cel­ ebrate with us the arts at OES! Charles K. Bergm.

Fine Arts Program Moving to New Facilities S P R I N 1 9 9 G 7 Oregon Episcopal School contin­ ues to benefit from the extraordi­ nary fundraising and planning efforts of the Board of Trustees and the numerous volunteers who have been working on the campus Master Plan, and, especially, from the generous commitment of so many generous donors. This fall, the OES Art Department will make the much-needed move to its new and more spacious home in Bishop Dagwell Hall, the former site of the Middle School. Not that the limited space in Scott House has kept the fine arts cur­ riculum from flourishing at OES. Despite the challenges, the pro­ gram has evolved and grown over the years under the direction of what is the longest tenured depart­ ment on campus. Jack O’Brien, Sue Jensen, Matt Lyon, and Shelley Stoffer have contributed their remarkable talents as artists and teachers, each at OES for at least 10 years, and students at OES have opportunities in the arts that many schools in the Portland area can no longer provide. On the cover of this issue of The OES Belltower, students reproduce a traditional Japanese art form, Itajime Shibori, which means “board-clamping manipu­ lated resist dyeing.” Under the direction of Upper School art teacher Sue Jensen, students fold paper and dye it, and the result is brilliantly colored paper art. Students use the dyed paper as book covers for small, hand-made albums of their own drawings and other paper art, several of which have been on display in the Upper School this winter. ▲ Upper School students take turns at the wheel in Matt Lyon’s pottery class. Bishop Dagwell Hall, with its north­ facing, large windows and newlyredesigned space, will be an ideal new setting for OES’ young artists, and will be in use this fall by Lower, Middle and Upper School students. For more about the arts program at OES, please see “The Fine Arts Are Alive at OES!” on page 4. With the move of the fine arts program into Bishop Dagwell Hall completed, OES will now begin preliminary planning for the next Master Plan project, the reno­ vation of our Upper School. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 3 �S 1 P R I 9 N 9 G 7 The Fine Arts are Alive at OES! On any given day, the lower level of Scott House on the OES campus is filled with activity. In one class­ room, Lower School students listen to Debussy as they study the works of Monet and create their own impressionist works with oil pas­ tels. Next door, Upper School seniors take painstaking care over a calligraphy project. At the far end of Scott House, Middle School stu­ dents at pottery wheels create bowls which will be fired in the School’s outdoor kiln. longest tenured at OES, and their indi­ vidual artistic talents have not only enhanced the pro­ gram, they’ve shaped it. Jesse LeCavalier '95 “I’ve only seen the department get better and better,” says Sue Jensen, who has taught art in the Upper School since 1984. A dorm parent since 1977, Sue began teaching design and calligraphy Jason Henkle. 10th and took over the Art Trek program in the Upper School in 1987. Art Trek is a comprehensive course that incorporates a cultural and historical introduction to art with studio project experiences like ceramics, painting, and calligraphy. ▲ SueJensen and Upper School students collabo­ rate on Itajime Shibori, a traditionalJapanese art form involving the dyeing of intricately folded paper. Sue balances her teaching with an impressive career as a professional musician; she has been playing the harpsichord for twenty years and The fine arts are alive and well at OES, with a full curriculum that encompasses art history, drawing, painting, ceramics, paper arts including printmaking, calligraphy, marbled paper and paper dyeing, and graphic design. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The diversity of the OES fine arts program has as much to do with the talents of the OES arts faculty as it does with the evolution of the curriculum over the years. The department, made up of Jack O’Brien, Sue Jensen, Shelley Staffer and Matt Lyon, is the ▲ Upper School art teachers SueJensen andJack O’Brien admire the latest paper art cre­ ated by Upper School students. 4 performs with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, is a member of a Portland chamber group called Allora, and is the Director of Music at Grace Episcopal Church. An expert calligrapher and paper artist herself, whose own works can be seen all over the OES campus, Sue is certain of the importance of experiences in the fine arts to the overall education of young stu­ dents. “Art helps us see and per­ ceive the world in our own unique way," she says. “Students discover themselves and their ability to relate to the world. It also teaches them to play, be spontaneous, and enjoy what they’re doing.” Jack O’Brien, Chair of the Art Department since 1985 and on the OES faculty for 15 years, empha­ sizes the quality of the OES arts program in terms of its faculty and its expectations of students. Jack teaches painting and drawing to Upper School students. “There are two rather unusual aspects to our program: without exception our faculty are profes­ sional artists who teach, and we have a two-year art requirement for graduation from OES,” Jack points out. “In this current fiscal climate, other schools are cutting art and letting art teachers go, and we’re enhancing our program more and more every year. This is a real statement to Portland.” Like Sue Jensen, Jack has commit­ ted himself to teaching art at OES and simultaneously sustaining a full-time career in the Portland theatre community as a set designer and technical director for theatres across Portland, including Artists Repertory Theatre, Portland Repertory, Oregon Stage Company, �and Tygres Heart Shakespeare Company. Jack also directs the theatre program at OES, including Stagecraft and Theatre Troupe, a class that involves students in all aspects of theatre production and performance. S P R 1 9 “There may be the misperception that at the lower grades we just throw out some crayons on the table—we actually don’t even use crayons in art classes!” she laughs. “My goal is to build a love of visual expression. I give them a variety of materials and lots of instruc­ tion. I explain the techniques involved, and then give them the freedom to do what they want.” “Every year the program gets more involved and com­ plex. An art teacher visiting OES recently said to me ‘You have high expecta­ tions!”’ she recalls. “That’s partially true—I really want our students to learn something in my classes.” Shelley’s arts curricu­ lum for Lower School ▲ Lower School students Sean Gordon and students includes an Dylan Page take a break from the rigors of introduction to art art class for some personal creativity. history.

Matt also teaches ceramics classes to Upper School students. “The ceramics class is an opportu­ nity for students to experiment with three-dimensional artistic expres­ sion,” points out Matt. “Personally, I think getting out of the mind and Matt’s own works in ceram­ ics have been in gallery shows all over the Pacific Northwest, and featured in Ceramics Monthly maga­ zine, The Zootrope Book, and Handbuilt Pottery magazine.

Its large, tall windows, northern light and the new, spa­ cious floorplan will provide studio, classroom, and project space, a photography lab, and space for film and video production and com­ puter graphics. “I still walk by Bishop Dagwell Hall and think ‘Wow, they really did give it to us!”’ marvels Jack O’Brien. “It will provide significantly increased space that has been specifically redesigned for art. And the art department is still the only place on campus where all three divisions come together in one facility, which I think is an added benefit.” Melissa Radecki, 8th OREGON EPISCOPAL S C H O O L 6 �■ “The new building will give us tremendous opportunities,” echoes Shelley. “For me, there will be so much more space to do some won­ derful new projects. The kids can barely move now.” The ceramics program will be enhanced, as well; the six pottery wheels will be moved to Bishop Dagwell Hall, and three more will be added, meaning more students can produce at a time. The two kilns will also be moved, says Matt. Sue Jensen says simply: “The newness and space of Bishop Dagwell Hall will refresh us!” Leaving Scott House, one passes a calligraphed poem entitled Scott House, Floor 1 composed by recent graduate Kristin Waitt ‘95. A stanza of it reads: On dirty plastic these fingertips can feel dusty remains Of someone’s soul poured out on paper; grains of Unidentifiable substances left behind to eventually Become part of the floor and table. Many hands have worked Between these four small walls. Who was here yesterday? Last year? Tomorrow? I don’t know, nor will they As my dust is brushed away into corners. This fall, the classrooms of Bishop Dagwell Hall will be filled for the first time with students immersed in Monet, calligraphy, and ceram­ ics. As the OES art department moves to the center of campus and into improved space, the fine arts program at OES will build on the foundations begun in Scott House, providing new and enhanced opportunities for stu­ dents to express themselves through art. s 1 P R I 9 N 9 G 7 Louise Osborne '96 ◄ A Lower School art teacher Shelley Stoffer works tvitb Lower School students to create free­ standing houses of clay.

His question is followed by a chorus of answers ranging from "When they cut you open" to “When your stomach hurts and the doctor helps you.” Jeff Gundle is part of an activity/ service learning opportunity which places Upper School students in teaching internships in Lower School classrooms, the library, and on the playground. A first-year intern, Jeff visits the kindergarten “The kids are wonderful—they’re energetic about everything, and they’re so happy to see that you’re interested in them.” classroom at least once a week, reading to the students during sto­ rytime and participating in the endof-the-day dialogue called “Problem Solving.” “He’s been wonderful with the kids,” says Helen Linster. “During Problem Solving we talk a lot about what’s right and what’s wrong, and Jeff contributes a unique perspec­ tive because he’s older. It’s good for the younger students to recog­ nize that he still has to follow rules, just like they do, and there are con­ sequences for him, too. They really listen to him.” ▲ Kindergarten students bond with their Upper School teaching intern andfriend, juniorJeff Gundle. Jeff carefully describes his accident playing basketball, which injured his shoulder. Again, he receives a chorus of response: “Did they put you to sleep?” “Did you feel sick when you woke up?” “What did your medicine taste like?” "The Upper School students are always supervised, but there are many ways in which they can help and get some great experience," Debby says. “Some of the more experienced interns who have done the program for a while are able to “It’s a nice break from being in the Upper School all day, where things are so stressed-out and serious,” Jeff says. “It reminds you how nice it is to be young. It’s also fun to see what kindergarten students find interesting.” The Lower School Internship pro­ gram was developed by Upper School humanities teacher Debby Schauffler four years ago. The pro­ gram is a popular one, involving as many as 20 or 25 students a year, and Debby collaborates with Lower School teachers to provide chal­ lenging opportunities for Upper School students to be involved in the classroom.

Upper School tenth grader and intern Emily Brinegar is enthusiastic about the program, saying it gives her the opportunity to incorporate her interests in children and act­ ing—her “two favorite things." Emily started as an intern for activ­ ity credit, and has continued this semester as part of her service learning hours. Emily can often be found in the Lower School library, reading to students. “The kids are wonderful—they’re energetic about everything, and they’re so happy to see that you’re interested in them,” Emily says. “I try to act out all the voices in the stories I read, and it’s so inter­ esting to see how each child reacts differently. When we find a really fun story, we act it out as a group, complete with props.” �4 S P R 1 9 Lower School library assistant Diane Flack is as enthusiastic about Emily as Emily is about her internship. "She doesn’t just do this because she has to,” Diane points out. “She is an incredibly vivacious person, with an extra something— a deep love for children. We’re very lucky to have her." Debby Schauffler says that one of the best things about the teaching internship program is that it pro­ vides an opportunity for students of different ages to mix, which makes for an enhanced environment for learning. “The older kids learn about teaching and the learning process, and about how to take care of people,” she says. “It’s a great combination."

Canine Students Do Well in the OES Classroom When Karen Corsini’s fifth grade class gets started every morning, there are more than just human students in the classroom: a pupil of the canine variety is also one of the group. Lower School teacher Karen Corsini is a volunteer “puppy raiser” for Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc. Puppy raisers teach fledgling guide dogs key skills during their first 8 to 15 months. The dogs learn to obey basic commands, to remain undistracted, to be brave about new and unfamiliar experi­ ences, and to get along with all kinds of people. Four years ago, Karen volun­ teered as a puppy raiser for the first time. Her first dog, Crandal, “grad­ uated” from advanced training and was given to a blind man in Portland, who later called Karen to . tell her what a great dog he was. His phone call inspired Karen to continue volunteering with a sec­ ond dog, named Hayden. Her third dog, Balboa, just completed his training with Karen and is now pre­ pared for the rigors of the next stage of specialized training which will make him the perfect partner for someone who is blind. And Karen’s students are to be thanked, she says, for Balboa’s turning out so well. "The dogs spend the entire school day with us. Our students take the dogs to chapel and to the cafeteria, they brush them—all these things help make them good guide dogs,” she says. "The OES community has been so supportive during all three trainings. The key thing is to get the dogs used to being either distracted or ignored, and at the right times." “The sometimes-chaotic environ­ ment at OES and in the classroom really calms the dogs down, because they grow accustomed to the constant distractions.” Karen also works guide dogs into the fifth grade curriculum, and students read and write stories about guide dogs and about people who are blind. Karen says it has made her students much more aware of what it’s like to be blind, the challenges these individuals face, and how valuable a well-trained guide dog can be. What is a part-time volunteer job for the fifth graders at OES is an around-the-clock commitment for Karen. In order to prepare them for the demands of living with and guiding people who are blind, the dogs need to learn to be “exem­ plary citizens," Karen says. "Guide dogs learn to stay out of the way until they’re needed, learn how to travel in cars, on buses, and through crowds, and they cannot get away with antics that other dogs indulge in—jumping up on people, playing chase, grabbing things off a kitchen counter,” she explains. As a result, Karen is continu­ ously involved with the guide dogs she takes on, except during classtime, when they rest on the sidelines or stay in a portable kennel. Karen is emphatic about the rewards of volunteering as a puppy raiser. When asked what is the hard­ est about the job, she laughs. “Keeping them from ▲ Karen Corsini is rarely eating food off the seen on campus without cafeteria floor,” she her sidekick-in-training. jokes.

It’s sad to say goodbye to the dogs, but also makes all the OREGON hard work worth it!” EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 13 �S 1 P R 9 N I 9 G 7 OES says sad goodbye to the Zendtfamily Five years can seem like a long time to most people, but for those at OES who have known Harvey and Louisa Zendt, and their children Becca, Christy, and Peter, theirJive years at the School haven’t been nearly enough. The Zendt family will be leaving OES and Portland this summer for the East Coast to be closer to their families. Perhaps most striking has been the reaction from all corners of OES, among fellow faculty and staff, parents, trustees, and administration. “It’s hard to find two people of greater integrity,” says Headmaster Charlie Bergman. “When a school is serious about its mission, you have two options for making it come alive: articulating it ▲ Harvey spends nearly as much with words, and time in the Lower School class­ modeling it.

He really rolls up his sleeves and works along with the rest of us, on everything from the fifth grade compost pile to building the Beginning School play structure," says Sidney Gold, assis­ tant head of the Lower School. “Harvey sees the positive in everything—he starts every faculty meet­ ing with compliments and thank yous.” ▲ St. Francis Day brought the Zendt family rabbit to the OES campus. Here, Louisa and fourth grader Becca Zendt pose with a fellow Lower Schoolfriend (on left). “Harvey is the master of under­ standing, and listens as few do,” reflects Elisabeth Lyon, OES parent and former president of the Board of Trustees. “He keeps perspective in difficult situations, and maintains a lightness that is contagious. And as an outdoorsman he is avid—to have hiked, surfed, or been on the soccer field with him is to witness enthusiasm!” Parent Leslie Workman, who is the former chair of the Lower School PAL and a member of the search committee to find Harvey’s succes­ sor echoes Sydney and Elisabeth’s sentiments. “Harvey is truly won­ derful to work with. How do you replace someone who will wear a gorilla suit and direct traffic in the OES parking lot, sit in a dunk tank at the Halloween party, and wear sandwich boards for the OES FUND?” Leslie says. Of equal importance to OES have been the contributions of Louisa Zendt, as Director of Admissions, member of the Head’s Council, parent, teacher, and active member Educated at Trinity College with a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Harvey Zendt has been working for inde­ pendent schools in different capacities since 1973.

The following year she took over as Director of Admissions, and is credited with expanding recruitment for the OES boarding program, enhancing the overall public relations efforts of the SPRING to the School. “Louisa sets the standard for compassion, grace, and insightfulness,” says Elisabeth Lyon. "She is both remarkably creative and highly organized.

LouAnn Pickering. OES FUND’S success thus far is due in large part to the numerous volunteers who sent letters and made phone calls on behalf of the campaign. The $380,000 goal is a significant increase over last year’s goal of $355,000, so participation from all members of the OES com­ munity is crucial—if you have not yet made your gift, do so today! If you have already made your gift—thank you! As of March, the OES FUND had raised $312,095 from OES parents, trustees, alumni, faculty and staff, grandparents, past parents and other friends of the School. The AT&T Offering Free Computers to OES As of the new year, Oregon Episcopal School has enrolled in the AT&T Learning Points Program, which will result in the School receiving new computer software and hardware if enough AT&T resi­ dential customers designate OES as the recipient of what they call “learning points.” The program, which is part of AT&T’s long history of charitable contributions to schools, is a fiveyear, $150 million commitment to improving education through use and support of technology in our schools. It will not affect any pro­ grams (like the AT&T True Rewards program) in which OES community­ members may currently be enrolled, and AT&T residential telephone customers among your family and friends can sign up, too—anyone can participate, whether they live across town or across the country. It’s easy to designate OES as your choice to earn Learning Points: 1 Call this toll-free number on a touch-tone phone: 1-800-354-8800 2 Listen to the prompts and enter the number for OES: 01161555 3 Follow the prompts and speak your name and billing address OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 20 Once you have designated OES for the program, AT&T will calculate their contribution to OES based on the amount of your home telephone AT&T charges each month. Certain restrictions do apply, and some calls such as directory assistance, 500-, 700 and 900-, AT&T Universal Card and Direct-Bill Calling Card, and mobile, marine, and cellular calls do not qualify. A statement will be included on your bill from AT&T, and will show how many points you have gener­ ated for OES, and the School’s total Learning Points will be reported monthly to OES. These Learning Points will be redeemed for software and hardware selected by the OES Technology Committee, and OES will keep everyone posted on our progress earning points and the software and hardware for which we will redeem them. �Alumni Association President’s Corner The second year of my term as Alumni Association President is coming to a close, and will officially end after Reunion Weekend.

What she remembers as even more glamorous, however, was her next big job, as head of the Womens’ Program for the NY Department of Commerce. The Program was started to aid women who had lost business-owning husbands during "I think you accidentally fall into a career much more than you realize,” Guin reflects now. “Early on in life I may have had an interest in things that concerned women, but I think the rest happened more or less by chance." P R 9 N I 9 G 7 work involved important womens’ issues. Guin was hired as a District Staff Manager for New York Telephone in 1971, and until her retirement in 1983 she was primarily involved with issues of affirmative action at the telephone company, in an era when lawsuits over sexual dis­ crimination in hiring and payscale were common. “There was still the prevailing assumption in the early seventies that women weren’t interested in a serious career, that they just wanted to get married,” Guin remem­ bers. “But this simply wasn’t the case any longer!" Guin was one of these ambitious women of the time; in addition to working full time she also managed to complete a master’s degree in sociol­ ogy of education at NYU. After graduating from the Junior College with a focus on the fine arts (fol­ lowing a bachelor’s degree in journalism), Guin and fellow JC classmate Vivian Byers ‘37 (now Vivian Carothers) took an interest in joining the all­ women Coast Guard Spars.

I hope to have a relaxed conversation with all faculty, staff, and trustees by the end of the first year; my chats so far have been stimulating and illuminating, and are always a high­ light of the day. A Letter from the Headmaster Dear Friends, The past two months have been an exciting time for my family and me, and I would like to take this oppor­ tunity to share with you some impressions from our first few weeks as newcomers to Portland and to the OES family. After our move from the Cate School in southern California in early July, we got ourselves settled in a very comfortable house in Raleigh Hills, only a few minutes away from school. I confess to feel­ ing real pleasure in having some space in our new abode for two growing and at times rambunctious kids, since we lived in an increas­ ingly cramped dorm apartment at the Cate School. But I also confess to some genuine anxiety as a newly minted homeowner, since now we have a lawn that needs attention, and we have never “done lawns” before. I confess, too, to having wandered down to OES’s playing field more than once and, when no one was looking, getting down on hands and knees to admire with considerable envy the fine state of the School’s turf. After traveling to the east coast and then to Hawaii for two wonderful conferences in July and August, I began the new school year in earnest in late August by having conversations with faculty, staff, and trustees in order to get to know We kicked off the 1996/97 acade­ mic year in a more formal way with a wonderful day-and-a-half all-faculty-and-staff retreat at Menucha, a breathtaking site on the southern palisade of the Columbia River, about an hour away from Portland. There I had an opportunity to share a few thoughts about the importance of vision, the connection of mission to vision, and my belief in the essential importance of OES’s mission to educate our students so that, in the words of the School’s mission statement, “they may realize their power for good as citizens of local and world commu­ nities.” In future editions of The OES Belltower I look forward to sharing with you more thoughts about citizenship and its role as the central pillar upon which all of our work at OES rests. Following the Menucha retreat came a dizzying whirlwind of events surrounding the formal opening of school, which involved meeting new parents and students, some lovely picnics, several speeches, my for­ mal installation as Headmaster and, O R E G O N EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 2 best of all, much laughter and fun. It is here that my family and I felt in its fullest form the warmth, care and friendliness that lie at the heart of the OES spirit, and we are grateful to all for such an extraordinarily warm welcome. During the past two weeks, with the start of regular instruction, I have had a chance to observe several classes in each of the three divi­ sions, and have been impressed with the professionalism of our faculty, the quality of their instruc­ tion and, most important, their manifest love of their students. Last year the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools (PNAIS) completed its report on OES, as part of our regu­ lar accreditation process, and what I have seen in the classroom con­ firms overwhelmingly what the PNAIS committee wrote in its sum­ mary, namely, that OES “stands as an exemplar among independent schools for whom establishment of a mutually supportive, respectful, and nurturing community is a value.” It is a privilege indeed to be working with such a dedicated and spirited group of educators. The first year for me will continue to be one of getting to know the many marvelous people who make up the OES family; celebrating our successes while listening carefully for opportunities for improvement; supporting the three divisions and the admissions, business and development offices; and getting to know more about Oregon and the Northwest. It is the start of a rare and wonderful adventure, for which I am very grateful. I look forward to meeting and hearing from as many of you in the OES family as possible in the weeks and months to come. Sincerely, Charles K.

Today, the completed building stands a proud two stories and its halls are active with the activities of Middle School students. For more about the Middle School, please see page 40 of this Belltower issue.

During the few short months since he joined the OES community as its new head­ master, he has generated excite­ ment among faculty, staff, parents, trustees, alumni and students about what can seem a rather eso­ teric subject: its mission statement. “You’re going to hear a lot about this from me,” Charlie admitted to many of the audiences of the numerous gatherings he attended in the first days of the new school year. "OES has a wonderful sense of mission, and I like to talk about it!” Since joining OES, Charlie’s enthusiasm and optimism for the School and its community has been infectious. He is a self-proclaimed optimist. When he talks to students, he emphasizes simple things: Take care of yourself, he says, and respect others. Respect OES. Do everything as well as you can. When he talks to faculty, staff and parents, he emphasizes many of the same things. In venues ranging from his own installation as headmaster to an Upper School students’ "Town Hall” meeting to the Menucha faculty/staff retreat, Charlie reads the mission statement aloud, explores the meaning of its components, points out why it works, and pon­ ders how the OES community can make it a living statement. come on board, he’s given it new life, and his enthusiasm for our mission has me excited all over again!” Charlie was appointed by the Board of Trustees in February of this year and came on board in July. He comes to OES from Cate School, in Carpinteria, CA, where he was Director of their Asian Studies program.

W Ta Upper School Head Anne Cass agrees. “When I first interviewed at OES, I was really impressed that the mission statement was visible everywhere on campus,” she remembers. “Since Charlie has 8 �AUTUMN Charlie’s experience in China influenced more than his profes­ sional life. In the early days of his stint with IBM China he met his wife Catherine (who also goes by her Chinese name, Shu-lin) who was employed there as a systems engi­ neer. After returning to the States in 1988 Charlie asked her to join him. Catherine was no stranger to the U.S., having done computer stud­ ies graduate work in Dallas and at the University of California, San Francisco. Within a few months of her return, Charlie and Catherine were engaged, and they were mar­ ried in March of 1989. The Bergmans have two children, Elizabeth, 6, and William, 3. Elizabeth is in OES’ 1st grade, and is treated to periodic classroom visits from her father. In addition to the customary and time-consuming duties of any independent school administrator, Charlie is diligent about spending a part of nearly every school day in various class­ rooms across the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools. 19 9 6 ▲ In the opening days of school, Charlie spread the word about his admira­ tion for OES’ mission statement. “Charlie’s love of children and his talents with them were evident from the start.” Ultimately, Charlie is quick to praise OES’ excellent foundation, and congratulates the School’s “Among the principal commenda­ tions in the report is an extraordi­ nary statement: ‘OES stands as an exemplar among independent schools for whom the establishment of a mutually supportive, respectful, and nurturing community is a value,’ Charlie points out. “I hope that after an exhausting year preparing for PNAIS review that the entire community is pat­ ting itself on the back for a job well done," he continues. “The faculty and staff at OES deserve congrat­ ulations for all the great work they’ve been doing. I’m delighted that I will now be a part of such a fine group of professionals, and look forward to continuing such a strong tradition.” Judging by his first days in the OES community, Charlie Bergman is well on his way to making the School’s mission, as he says, “a living statement." Faculty, parents and alumni invariably note that he has infused the campus with a new sense of energy and optimism. “Charlie has made many visits to the Lower School over the past two months, and I’ve seen him mes­ merize a 3rd grade class with a card trick and charm the Beginning School with his singing,’’ says Lower School Head Harvey Zendt. faculty and staff on the final report of the Pacific Northwest Association of Independent Schools (PNAIS). The Association unanimously recommended this past spring that OES be reaccred­ ited for the next eight years. “Life in a school like OES is five percent vision and ninety-five percent details—all the work down in the trenches,” reflects Anne Cass. “Charlie is doing a really good job of reminding all of us about that critical five percent.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 9 �In , Touch With OES Alumni Board Auction Dinner Alumni After-Hours ▲ Alumni escaped the March rain for Alumni After Hours, held at Portland Brewing. ▲ Current parents Eileen and DavidJohnson were the successful bidders on the Alumni Board Dinner, an annual donation to the OES Auction.

The OES com­ munity will have the opportunity to celebrate with her at Founders’ Day on November 12, when she will be honored as the School’s Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumna for 1996. ?* f 1 ?£ Beatrice Paget is a natural choice for the award which recognizes and honors alumni of St. Helens Hall and the Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall and OES for their achievements in their professional careers and their contributions to the community. Beatrice was born in 1896 in Wells, OR, and upon graduating from St. Helens Hall in 1915 attended the University of Oregon. Her real adventures began after her second year at the University. Beatrice was offered a job with the Chautauqua, an organization which provided culture prior to the radio age to small towns across the U.S. and the world with symphony concerts, operas, plays and lectures. Beatrice was a natural at pro­ motion, and decided to continue her work with the Chautauqua organization rather than return to the University of Oregon. At age 19 she was traveling as far as New Zealand and Australia to arrange cultural bookings. ■ I OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL During her times with the Chautauqua, Beatrice met her husband, Lowell Paget, and they were married in 1919. After finishing their undergraduate studies at Oregon State University in 1921, Beatrice and Lowell Paget entered Northwestern School of Law and graduated in 1924. Beatrice was one of only three women in her graduating class. She and Lowell became involved in Oregon politics, and Lowell was elected to the Oregon Legislature in 1932 and was appointed the ■ r..' ▲ Beatrice Thurston Paget ‘15, the 1996 recipient of the Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award. National Republican Party Chair­ man for Oregon in 1960, a position he held until he died in 1967. Beatrice became the President of the Oregon League of Women Voters in 1935 and successfully lobbied for passage of Aid to Families with Dependent Children, arguing that single women should receive support so that their families would not be separated. Oregon Episcopal School has en­ joyed Beatrice’s recent involvement in many aspects of the School. She was an honored guest at the 125th Anniversary Founders’ Day Gala in 1994, and appeared on the cover of the fall 1995 OES Belltower, posing with other key OES volunteers on the site of the nowcompleted new Middle School building. She has truly been an inspiration to the OES community, 14 and the School is delighted to honor her with the 1996 Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award. In addition to honoring the life and achievements of Beatrice Paget, Founders’ Day will feature Northwest author Robin Cody. Cody will talk about writing, Northwest literature, and, most notably, his 1,200-mile canoe trip down the Columbia River. His book, Voyage of a Summer Sun, is an account of this trip, and each guest will receive a complimentary autographed copy at Founders’ Day. Tickets for Founders’ Day, which will be held at the Multnomah Athletic Club from 7:00-9:00 p.m. on November 12, are still available for $25 per person, and can be reserved by calling the Alumni & Development Office at 768-3153. �. .verily I say onto you, if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say onto that mountain remove hence to yonder place and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible onto you ” Matthew 17, verse 20 * Oregon Episcopal School �HEADMASTER'S REPORT Dear Friends, Other thanks are also due to Sue Nicol, Director of the Capital Campaign, who finished her work at OES at the end of August and is on her way to new challenges and adventures. Without Sue’s vision and hard work, we simply would not have the successful campaign that we are blessed with today. s the new Headmaster of Oregon Episcopal School. JL I am pleased to be able to congratulate the OES community on all of its fundraising accomplish­ ments of the past year. Perhaps the strongest of many wonderful first impressions since my arrival this summer is of the extraordinary dedi­ cation to the support and financial well-being that I have seen evident within the entire OES community. A This support manifests itself in many ways: it can be seen in the hard work of the volunteers who make the annual fund and auction a suc­ cess; or in the dedication of the trustees who do the essential leg­ work in making the case for OES with major donors; or in the work of the development office staff in keep­ ing the School’s development efforts on track; or in the generosity of the many donors who have ensured that OES is able to reach its critical fund raising goals. One of the great pleasures in my day is the opportunity to write a note of thanks to each donor to OES, and it is indeed a thrill to have said “thank you,” and then step outside and glance at the new Middle School building, whose very real form is ele­ gant testimony to what generous donors are able to accomplish at an independent school. ▲ New Headmaster Charlie Bergman with Lower School Assistant Head Sydney Gold andformer Headmaster Peter Stevens. There are many volunteers who need to be thanked for their invalu­ able efforts on behalf of our School. The 1995-96 OES FUND had a remarkable year under the leader­ ship of chairs Julie Drinkward and Beth Warner, who worked with an energetic group of volunteers and raised a record total of over $373,000. My wife Catherine and I had the opportunity to join all of you at the Around the World Auction in May, which raised $167,000. Pat Karamanos and her corp of volun­ teers put in many hours over the school year, and are to be com­ mended on their dedication to what was a spectacular event. Peter Bechen also deserves thanks and congratulations for his work as Chair of the Middle School Campaign Committee. His Herculean labors along with the efforts of the numer­ ous other campaign committee members have ensured that the campaign has stayed on track—the new Middle School building is the clearest evidence of that! And, of course, none of these volunteer accomplishments would have been possible without the direction of the Board of Trustees, under the superb leadership of its Chairman, the Most Rev. Robert L. Ladehoff, and President John von Schlegell. THE MUSTARD SEED 16 I also want to lake the opportunity to welcome OES’ new Director of Development, John Lauerman, who began work in September. John comes to us with more than fifteen years of development experience in independent schools, most recently with Lake Forest Academy in Lake Forest, Illinois. John is a warm, engaging man with a great sense of humor, and OES is fortunate indeed to have found a man of his profes­ sionalism and experience to assume leadership of the development office. My family and I feel honored to be associated with a school as fine as OES. 1 look forward with great antic­ ipation and much excitement to be working with all members of our community in the months and years to come to ensure that OES builds on its many successes, strives always to be the very best that it can be, and fulfills its destiny to be a citadel of educational excellence in the Pacific Northwest. Sincerely, Charles K. Bergman Headmaster �REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Dear Family and Friends of OES: n behalf of the Board of I ■ Trustees, I would like to officially welcome you to the next stage of growth and achieve­ ment at OES. We are building on over a century and a quarter of accomplishments, setbacks, chal­ lenges and successes. As Bishop Ladehoff recently observed, OES is a decidedly different place from the school envisioned by Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris 127 years ago, yet we continue to build on that same core vision and ethos. I am particularly pleased to present our newest steward and leader as we approach the year 2000—Mr. Charles K. Bergman. 1 hope you will all take the time to get to know Charlie. He is accessible with a sincere interest in what you have to say. He loves chil­ dren, and he and his wife Catherine (you should take the time to meet her, too!) have two of their own. Elizabeth is in OES’ first grade, and William is three years old. The Trustees selected Charlie because he is a visionaiy, an enthusi­ astic educator with a passion for excellence, and he has a deep respect for teachers and what they do. Furthermore, he understands the healthy balance between “don’t fix it if it isn’t broken’’ and our stated goal to “take OES to the next level.” We are building on a record year at all levels of development, and our volunteers are to be commended for their tireless energy and attention to our most successful fundraising efforts over the past year. The OES FUND, chaired by Julie Drinkward and Beth Warner, raised $373,204, exceeding its goal by more than $18,000. The OES Around the World Auction was headed by Chair Pat Karamanos, and netted an amazing $167,000 on proceeds of $205,000. It has been exciting and gratifying to see such commitment from the com­ munity to both of these annual fundraising achievements. The Rt. Mr. John von Schlegell, Ms. Sheryl Acheson, Vice President Ms. Christine Kitchel, Secretary Mr. Wayne Drinkward, Treasurer The first phase of the Master Plan effort was led by Peter Bechen, and successfully raised over $4.5 million dollars from the OES community and outside foundations for the new Middle School and Bishop Dagwell Hall renovations. It’s wonderful to see the new Middle School, complet­ ed and in use—it’s truly a testament to what this community can do! Mr. Dick Alexander Mr. Marty Brantley The Very Rev. C. Roy Coulter Ms. Harriett Dixon Mr. Robert Durst Mrs. Betty Hedberg The Rev. Lucy Houser Mr. Sean Kuni ‘81 Ms. Elisabeth Lyon, As we approach the next level, we can all take great pride in what OES stands for and what has been accomplished. We must also rededi­ cate ourselves to the time, energy, money, volunteering and focus required to make a great school even better. I believe that we have as much reason to be optimistic as at any time in the long history of OES. The Rev. Robert Morrison Mr. David Munro The Rev. Stephen Norcross Mr. Chet Orloff Mr. John Spring Mr. Dale Stewart Ms. Anne Thanhouser Mr. Splinter Wrenn I hope you and your families have a productive and healthy 1996-97 school year.

The most compelling evidence now stands two stories high in the middle of our campus—our new Middle School facility, which is now filled with students and faculty. W ,-w We could not have reached ' this goal, however, without the vision, dedication and support of many people. In 1988, the _ ~~ Board of Trustees adopted a •—— • Strategic Plan which subsequently led to an 18-month study, called OES/21, which involved a large portion of the OES community in designing a plan to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Strategic Plan. Out of this study came the campus Master Plan for new and renovated facilities. Among the components of the new Master Plan was the construction of the new Middle School and subsequent reno­ vation of Bishop Dagwell Hall (BDH), the former Middle School building into a multi­ purpose fine arts facility. The trustees determined that the I new Middle School was the i lynchpin of the entire Master ■ Plan, which also includes reno| vation of the Upper School and I construction of a performing liil arts center. J In early 1995, the fundraisI ing campaign was launched in a very quiet way, and by fall of that year almost $2 million had • been raised! Additionally, a $1 , million challenge grant from I the Meyer Memorial Trust and ; a $100,000 grant from the Collins Foundation were key gifts which pushed us closer to our goal. This past spring and summer saw a surge of gifts and donations from the OES community, and we reached our goal of $4.6 mil­ lion for both the Middle School and the BDH renovations. On October 29, 1996, the Middle School, called Meyer Hall in honor of the Meyer Memorial Trust, was officially opened and dedicated. There are many people to thank for this amazing effort, not the least of which are the numerous volunteers who helped in so many ways. Rocky Dixon and Tony Adams ably chaired the hard-working and very successful major gifts committee. Parents Kip and Sheryl Acheson and John and Priscilla Longfield were extra­ ordinary chairs of fundraising among our parent community, and several parents had neighborhood gatherings which served to educate fel­ low OES families about the need for a new Middle School. Staff led by Peter Stevens and Charyl Cathey provided lead­ ership and support, and Sue Nicol and her development group were enthusiastic, tire­ less contributers to the cam­ paign. Ultimately, of course, the hundreds of people who made such generous gifts to the Middle School campaign are to be thanked for their support, because without them we would not have reached this milestone. A complete list of all donors to the Middle School and BDH arts renovation is included in this OES Belltower. 42 I am happy to say that we now have another mile­ stone ahead: Following the renovation of Bishop Dagwell Hall, which has commenced as we go to print with this issue of The OES Belltower, we will begin to phase into plans for the renovation of our Upper School. Another excit­ ing challenge for the OES community! Let’s keep the momentum building to take OES to a new level as we approach the 21st Century. It has been an honor to serve as the Chair of the Campaign Steering Com­ mittee over the past two years, and inspiring to see the OES community come togeth­ er to build our new Middle School. I thank you for your generous support.

And what a great year this will be! As future alumni look back on this year they will remember a new Middle School building which has been constructed with the help of numerous members of our community. ▲ Jack McCann, Jr. 84. Alumni Association President We will also remember the begin­ ning of a new era under the leader­ ship of our new Headmaster, Mr. Charlie Bergman. Charlie was for­ mally installed on September 10 in the Parish of St. John the Baptist on the OES campus. During the ceremony your Alumni Association presented him with a framed photo of the original site of St. Helens Hall. We hope this will remind Charlie of the rich history of our school, which started with St. Helens Hall in 1869. We also pre­ sented him with an OES Alumni Directory which we hope will help him get to know us. Faculty, staff, parents, students and alumni are all thrilled that the Board of Trustees and the headmaster search com­ mittee were able to find such an well-qualified and exemplary head­ master. Charlie's guidance and vision shall lead our community well into the 21st century. Alumni Association events are off to a flying start! At the beginning of the year we held our fifth annual Alumni Soccer Tournament. Although your alumni team fought hard to win they were beaten by a team made up of future alumni— the current boy’s varsity soccer team! It’s never too early to start practicing for next year! In October we kicked off the OES FUND campaign under the leader­ ship of Liza Lilley ‘74, past Alumni Association President and current Trustee member. This year’s OES FUND theme is Raising Community Spirit, and the goals of the cam­ paign are to raise $380,000 and to increase participation. All donations to the OES FUND go directly to the operating budget of our school. The FUND allows for a diverse aca­ demic program while helping to keep tuition at a reasonable level. Without your continued support of the FUND, many students might not be able to enjoy the same level of education that all of us had. Please show your love for the School by making a generous gift. OES needs YOU! As a student at the School you played a vital role in its history, and as an alum you play just as vital a role in its future! I strongly encourage you to get involved—the benefits you will receive are as immeasurable as is your love for your alma mater. The OES Alumni Board would be honored to have you back on campus for lunch and a tour. Come back and reminisce, visit our beautiful campus and see the changes, and reacquaint yourself with our outstanding community. Please call the Alumni Office at 768-3153 to arrange a date, and we’ll look forward to seeing you. ◄ Among the many gifts given to OES’ new headmaster at his installation was a photo of the original site of the School where it was estab­ lished in 1869, pre­ sented by Alumni Association President Jack McCann Jr. 84.

GOX FPISCOPAL SCHOOI �SPRING 19 9 6 A Letter from the President of the Board Dear Friends of OES, Part of my job is to endeavor to thank the people—faculty, staff, and parents—that truly make OES the wonderful place it is. I am often astounded at the level of dedication of so much of our community, both employees and volunteers. It would be difficult to imagine a year with more going on. For example: Head of School Search A quality group of faculty, parents, and trustees constituted a search committee for a new Head of School. Led by Chair Sean Gilronan, they each put in well over 100 hours over a number of months to ensure an extensive and inclu­ sive process coupled with great care to ensure future leadership and vision for OES. As you’ve no doubt heard by now, we are excit­ ed to welcome Charlie Bergman who will assume duties on July 1 of this year. PNAIS Evaluation/Self Study This process, under the able lead­ ership of Peter Stevens and Alice Simpson, as well as through the efforts of nearly every faculty and staff member, is almost complete. This important “report card" will form the basis for how we take OES to the next level. Volunteers In watching the progress of Pat Karamanos and her auction com­ mittee, Sharon Hewitt and the Book Fair, Susie Gundle and the Volunteers’ Common Link, as well as countless other efforts in the classroom and beyond, you cannot help but feel good about our school. There must be something to the maxim “The more you put in the more you get out,” because there are so many people con­ tributing so much. As the search process, financial planning, and Master Plan progress, the Board will continue to work hard to keep you informed and be open to your ideas as much as possible. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing everyone at the Around the World auction, Saturday, May 11. Sincerely, Master Plan Thanks to the able leadership of Peter Bechen, we are well on our way to building a new Middle School and renovating Bishop Dagwell Hall. John and Priscilla Longfield and Kip and Sheryl Acheson are chairing a parent com­ mittee. Together they are organiz­ ing neighborhood meetings and will ensure that every member of this community who desires to partici­ pate in our Master Plan will have the opportunity in the near future. For inspiration, I recommend that every so often you check in on the progress at the Middle School site. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 2 John EAvon Schlegell President, OES Board of Trustees �THE OES What is service learning and why is it important? S P R I N 1 9 9 G 6 In our Mission Statement, we state the purpose of Oregon Episcopal School is to prepare students with promise for higher education and life­ long learning and to enhance their intellectual, physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and artistic growth so that they may realize their power for good as citizens of local and world communities. During his first visit, in-coming Headmaster Charlie Bergman, spoke about our Mission Statement. He noted that many schools and organizations have the first part of a missions statement; explaining in elaborate detail what they do, but it is a rare treat to find a statement that follows with the outcome of these actions. Furthermore, part of our Mission Statement reads: We facilitate contribu­ tions to society by undertaking programs of outreach and service to oth­ ers. This is just one of the many ways that OES prepares students to real­ ize their power for good as citizens of local and world communities. In the past this commitment has been met through community service projects. This brings us back to the central question: What is service learning, and how does it differ from community service? OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL r...----- -- ------------------- ---- ---------At Oregon Episcopal School, exceptional faculty challenge students of unusual promise to reach their highest potential within a tradition distinguished by love, compassion and trust. Founded in 1869. Oregon Episcopal School is a pre-K through 12, coeducational, independent, college preparatory school in the Episcopal tradition. A full boarding program is offered in grades 9 through 12. Exceptional teachers engage students in small classes that stress participation, creativity and a passion for active learning and living. Within a traditional framework, dynamic programs in the fine and performing arts and athletics encourage student participation. Located on the Pacific Rim, the School emphasizes global studies and an international outlook. Virtually all graduates attend fine colleges. Responsible citizenship, ethics and community service are important at OES — a School where students arc encouraged to reach their fullest potential in a loving and caring environment. Editor Rothrock Community service and volunteerism become service learning when there is a deliberate connection between service and opportunities for learning. Service learning involves students in real-life settings where they apply academic knowledge, previous experience, and personal skills to meet community needs. When these two processes are integrated into the cur­ riculum, accompanied by thoughtfully designed occasions to reflect upon the experience, then and only then can experience be called Service Learning. The following story takes a close look at Service Learning at Oregon Episcopal School.

The children are mem­ bers of Mis. Winston and Mis. Murray’s Pre-Kindergarten class and their "buddy" class, Mis. Calkins’ Third Grade. Fouryears ago, parents donated hundreds of bulbsfor a service learning project. Every spring since, students in the Pre-Kpick the daffodils, which are then taken to a nursing home. This year the flowers were delivered to the West Hills Convalescent Center. 3 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 19 9 6 Opportunities for Service and Learning OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL RF he Lower School is very active I in creating many opportunities i for Service Learning, and the daffodil project in the Pre­ Kindergarten is an excellent way for our youngest students to begin a life of service while reaching for the goals of Service Learning. It is a fun activity about which students can feel positive. The alliance between buddy classes is also an integral part to the whole experience, giving older children a sense of responsi­ bility and helpfulness toward the younger generation. The process increases the students’ awareness of community needs and helps them realize that they can do something to help, it changes the adult perception of youth from being distanced from the world around them to being active partici­ pants in it, and enables them to see how they fit into the big picture. Students feel a sense of self- esteem as valued resources in the community and adults appreciate their participation and contribu­ tions. It also provides an awareness of the environment, locally and globally, and fosters an apprecia­ tion for its resources and the importance of conserving and using them wisely. The students may not even realize the signifi­ cance of all this good work at first, but they will develop healthy habits that last a lifetime. Other activities have had the stu­ dents making “Stone Soup" for homeless shelters, holiday gift bags for needy families, and Valentine’s Day cards for retirement centers and military personnel overseas. 4 Fifth Grade teacher Karen Corsini’s guide dog in training has made the students more aware of the needs of blind people and the importance of the dogs that act as their eyes. A summer stipend was given to Lower School Chaplain Lou Ann Pickering and several Lower School teachers to develop a Service Learning curriculum at each grade level that relates directly to what students are learning in the class­ room. Students need to have these opportunities for service learning easily and naturally woven into the curriculum to more effectively learn how to give of themselves. Just before Thanksgiving and Christmas the entire Middle School works at places like the Humane Society, William Temple House, and convalescent homes. In addi­ tion to these days of collective effort, teachers are integrating �Service Learning into individual classes. An example of this natural segue way between learning and service can be found in Mike Devenney’s health class. Students involved in this program will pre­ sent skits on chemicals in ciga­ rettes and other health related issues to students at OES and oth­ er local elementary schools. Sandra Cade’s Spanish class also plans to make use of Service Learning opportunities; they hope to start helping at Un lugar para ninos, a bilingual Pre-K and Kindergarten in Hillsboro. Opportunities for stu­ dents to go public with their knowl­ edge gives their learning more meaning and power. ▲ Dorm Student Shingo Harada made a newfriend when OES students helped sandbag the seawall in downtown Portland during the winterjlooding. It is important for the students and teachers to reflect not only on what they do for Service Learning, but why they do it. An effort is made to allow students more input into projects, and to relate them more directly to the curriculum. When the Eighth Grade class goes rafting on the Deschutes River this June, they will take some time to plant trees as a direct way of giv­ ing back to the environment they will have appreciated. Upper School students are required to look for opportunities for Service Learning on their own both on and off campus. Upper School Head Anne Cass recalls first learning about the program at OES, “It was such a relief to come to a school where there is such broad-based and widespread sup­ port of Service Learning.” S P R I N G 1 9 9 6 ▲ Left to right: Ryan Radecki, Kendra Smith, and Pam Parker fill sandbags in downtown Portland’s Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Some US students volunteer their time by managing an athletic team, working in the student store, cata­ loging books in the library, being a tour guide for a visiting student or tutoring other OES students. They may also volunteer at a hospice or Habitat for Humanity, tutor with a literacy program, or work as a counselor at Outdoor School. Jack O’Brien, Director of Performing Arts in the Upper School, takes a group of students to St. Francis every other Friday to serve dinner to homeless people.

Many OES parents appreciate the education their students are getting in and out of the classroom through these and other Service Learning efforts. It is a nice way for them to get involved in their child’s education, as it pro­ vides opportunities for them to volunteer as well. Current parent and OES volunteer Mary Jaffe says that volunteering gives her a better perspective on her Sixth Grade son’s performance and the issues facing adoles­ cents.

It work on a smoking and drug gives the students a prevention unit which the better understanding class will present to other of job possibilities and local schools. the realities of the working world. Colleges are always interested in what kinds of community service applicants have participated in, and business schools are getting their students more and more involved in community service as well. Service has always been important in this country, with orga­ nizations like the Peace Corps and inspirations like former President Bush’s “Thousand Points of Light” speech. OES hopes to contribute to this tradition by cultivating student initiative, responsibility, and self­ confidence while facilitating contri­ butions to society. Every year in early May the OES Upper School stops to remember the tragedy on Mt. Hood. Ten years ago, many people and organizations in Portland rushed in to help us upon hearing of our loss. We commemorate the day by giving back to the greater Portland community in thanks for its support. In the past, we have taken a full day to send groups of students and teachers to work in homeless shelters, food kitchens, and the Audubon Society. Some groups have done trail work in Forest Park while others have helped elderly or disabled people with daily chores. This year we will focus our efforts on flood-restoration while appreciating how lucky we are to be a part of the OES and Portland communities. Christina Meyerhoff, the coordi­ nator of this event for die past 5 years, says, “We want students to think about their citizenship within both smaller and larger communities and their responsi­ bility as members of these communities. Sendee Learning demonstrates the effect a small group can have to make a change and make a difference." ▲ Galena Kline and Ashley Berman collect Christmas presents for the Party Center.

Later, their class visited West Hills Convalescent Center where they had a chance to pul their new skills to use. Of course the goal of the Service Learning Program is eventually to have students do it themselves. Ashley Berman, OES Senior, orga­ nized a Christmas gift drive this December and encouraged Upper School students to give presents to underprivileged children. Many students have participated in the Amigos program during the sum­ mers, living with families in Central and South America while working on farms, building schools and teaching children.

She worked at a soup kitchen and dis­ covered Kevin Shilling ‘86, another OES graduate, there doing the same.” Martin Luther King, Jr. once stated, “You only need a heart full of grace and a soul generated by love.” By taking small steps we can make a difference. ▲ Before Thanksgiving, Lower Schoolfaculty presented the play "Stone Soup."

OES in Action debuted as a monthly publication in October of 1990. Sponsored by the Coordinating Council [VCL], it originated as an entirely volunteer effort. Like so many other volunteer opportunities at OES it fostered newfriendships, provided new challenges, and hopefully broadened the understanding of the OES experience. — Men Taylor. 1st Editor of OES in Action PPRSM In 1990 the Board established a "rainy day" account tofund major, unexpected building and grounds needs. Thisfund is call PPRSM, or Provision for Plant Replacement and Special Maintenance. Every year, we have made increasingly larger contributions to this fundfrom our budget. This past summer, we made good use of thisfund when we made major improve­ ments to our heating system I receive a great sense ofsecurity knowing that thisfund will be there when we need it. — Jon von Behren, Director of Plant and Transportation community camefrom our abil­ ity as students, faculty, admin­ istration, board members, alumni, friends of the school, andfellow parents to work together, side by side, for a com­ mon good. — Jana Westlund, Aardvark Fun Park Co-coordinator Aardvark Fun Park Wfe bad a dream—to design and build a Bob Leathers play­ groundfor OES. 7be physical gift this playground represented to our School, however, wasfar outweighed by the gift we gave ourselves: A true sense ofcom­ munity. The wonderful sense of THE HUMANITY OF LIBERAL EDUCATION by Peter W. Stevens, Headmaster permits it not to be cruel?” How do we go about helping young people learn of the absolute value of commitment to and participation in the polity, the soaring beauty and power of the arts, the inexorable connection of the past to the pre­ sent and the present to the future, and the critical lessons that emerge from confrontation with the truth? How do we fertilize the growth of the imagination, or the recognition of the strength of empathy, or the uniqueness of each human heart? And how else can we truly and morally equip our­ selves so that we can avoid the dangers of detachment, or the price of disinterest, or the languor of passion-free lives? And how else can the race for the good be won? “Human history becomes more and more a race between education and disaster,” wrote H. G. Wells in 1920. I believe that race endures today, without much of a change in stakes. Well, maybe there’s some more horror in the specter of disaster winning, and maybe the changes in pace and communication bring more immediacy to the tension. And maybe more of us have more to lose—and surely more of us have more to win. But the contest persists, and the outcome is by no means certain. One of the great allies we who seek the good have in this contest is liberal education, and Oregon Episcopal School is squarely in this tradition, as was St. Helens Hall, thriving in Portland at the time Wells identified the contestants. Of course neither OES nor its predecessor can claim founding rights for liberal education, but both can justifiably claim the nurturing of human minds, and hearts, and even souls that such education requires. I believe it is just this nurturing that has made this Portland tradition of ours so very powerful and so very promising. And I know it is what I’ve enjoyed most about being a part of this community for these six years. We start to a large extent with the re-enactment of the edu­ cational metaphor of the teacher on one end of the log, the student on the other, and the book in between. Good educa­ tion is dialogue, and the good teacher is a mentor, leader, and story-teller. Now, of course at OES we have classrooms, some more teacher-centered, some more child-centered, but as we consider the teacher also as learner (and what good teacher would not?), then the modern “log,” the class­ room, becomes indeed learner-centered. We add books and charts, computers to aid in writing and figuring, and to pro­ vide access to the world, laboratories, wetlands, studios, playing fields, corridors, gardens, and grassy refuges for What is it about Oregon Episcopal School that, in Ovid’s words two thousand years ago “humanizes character and 14 �B During my whole time as a parent at OES—8 years—I have never seen such a community­ wide effort as tbe building of Aardvark Fun Park.

OES parents who have hosted the council in their cities include Mr. Chai and Mrs. Ing Sophonpanich in Bangkok in 1993' Dr. jae Kyu and Mrs. Sun Park in Seoul in 1994, and Mr. Peter and Mrs. Missy Bechen in SunRiver, Oregon in 1995. — Sue Nicol, Director of the Capital Campaign E.E.

Cass, OES Upper School Head Summerbridge Five years ago, Peter Stevens and I were both at a presenta­ tion of the Summerbridge program at the NAIS national meeting. We were so taken by the presentation, that tvhen we returned to Portland we decided to explore the mutual benefits of co-sponsoring Summerbridge at OES and Catlin Gabel. We also shared a vision for our two schools— We study hands-on science, and our young scholars engage in research that builds a Lego Physics machine or takes a student to the national Westinghouse competition. We retreat together to learn about our sexuality or to try to understand what cultural differences are among us. We honor the literary classics and contemplate contemporary fiction. We perform on our feet in front of classmates and parents, and we pursue cooperative team skills in a variety of sports, which in themselves may be microcosms of coop­ eration and competition in the years ahead. that we could build and foster a collaboration that could serve kids who had high potential, yet low opportunity. My rela­ tionship ivith Peter, and what we initiated togetherfor our schools, were among my favorite memories while serving as Headmaster at Catlin Gabel. — Jim Scott, Former Headmaster of Catlin Gabel School Our teachers are chosen and retained not just because they have acquired knowledge, but because they’ve demonstrated what Alfred North Whitehead called “the art of using knowledge”.

He conceived the idea of building a new Middle School. To make this a reality required both a Master Plan and a Development organization, which he implemented.

We are busy with many cultural and enjoyable activities. And, of course, the dorm parents continue to be dedicated professionals who give above and beyond the call of duty. I'm enjoying the dorms very much, andfind myself missing the kids when I’m away. — Art Horst, Director of Residence Pacific Northwest Language Institute The Pacific Northwest Language Institute began as an idea from two faculty members and has evolved into a real internation­ al event at OES.

Thus, they teach by their own engagement. Liberal education for a democratic and healthy society requires free and open inquiry. It requires respect for differences, for the stories of others. It leads to understanding for the commonal­ ity of all, for the human condition, and it leads to tolerance and patience and wisdom. But free and open inquiry does not in any way mean that we should abrogate the truth or the 125th Anniversary Celebration As an alumna of the school, working on the Anniversary was a very meaningful experi­ ence for me. Andi was fortu­ nate to work with such a great group of volunteers.

Rather, we take our cues from the OES Mission, and “guide with a love that is firm and tough.” That Mission promises that we will seek such a soci­ ety here, and by inference suggests that by doing so, we will be better able to help create and maintain such a society in the world beyond our campus. No, we’re not perfect, but we are pretty darned good, and we surely represent hope. Shortly after his arrival at OES, Peter initiated a major strate­ gic review of the School’s direction in support of the strategic plan developed by the Board of Trustees in 1989. This effort became known as “OES/21,” a far reaching vision for the School that will lead it into the 21st Century. This strategic initiative would ultimately involve the entire community in the planning and implementation of OES/21. None of this would have been possible without the vision and leadership of Peter Stevens, who energized our community in support of the goals of OES/21. — Sean Gilronan, Past President and Member of the OES Board I ▲ Peter Stevens has a birthday celebration in his office with stu­ dents from the Lower School. Master Plan Phase I of the Master Plan has begun thanks to support from the entire OES community, the Board of Trustees, and a very generous SI million matching challenge from the officers of Meyer Memorial Trust. This sup­ port has been a great boost to thefirst phase of construction— a new Middle School and reno­ vation of Bishop Dag well Hall into an arts and multipurpose center. Efforts like these help us meet our mission and will cer­ tainly enhance and expand the many educational opportunities at OES. — Cheryl Cathey, OES Middle School Head This is what we at OES are about; nothing less. If a teacher is also a learner, then the Head of School is the chief learner. And I feel enriched beyond expectation. It has been a privi­ lege to serve at OES for these years. 17 �1 In Touch With OES ? ▲ Headmaster Peter Stevens and Delight Kolar Leonard 48 SHH at the alumni tea. ▲ Past OES Parent B.

Charitable trusts have been part of estate plan­ ning for centuries. For example, in 1660 the will of Arthur Colfe created a trust to buy and distrib­ ute 104 sweet penny loaves every Christmas to the poor people of Deptford, a slum district of London. Modern charitable trusts, however, don’t necessarily fit the traditional pattern. Most often, today’s charitable trusts are created and funded during the donor’s lifetime, not by will. Furthermore, these modern trusts are designed not only to benefit a charity, but also the donor or members of the donor’s family. With proper planning, a charitable trust can gen­ erate a variety of tax advantages, including immediate deductions for deferred donations, freedom from tax on realized investment gains, and significant reductions in federal estate or gift taxes. Both the right to receive trust income and the right to receive a trust’s “remainder interest” can be valued for the purpose of granting income tax deductions, and also for the purpose of figuring gift or estate tax. The valuations involve government-issued tables and formulas too complex to detail here. Just keep in mind that the combined “present value” of the income and remainder interests in a trust always equal the total value of the money or property placed in trust. The most widely used form of charitable trust, these days, may be the charitable remainder uni­ trust. The donor receives annual income pay­ ments, equal to a specified percentage of the trust fund’s market value each year, then the trust remainder is distributed to one or more charities chosen by the donor. Sometimes the opportunity to avoid paying income tax on real­ ized gains is the primary reason for creating a charitable remainder trust. Today’s charitable trusts can help maintain financial security for donors and their families, as well as provide vital support for worthy caus­ es. The key to using today’s charitable trusts successfully is to design an approach tailored to your own particular set of charitable intentions and family financial planning objectives. If you wish to explore your planned giving options in detail, schedule a meeting with your legal advis­ er or financial consultant.

The 1995-96 school year is flying by, as years seem to do since my graduation from OES in 1984. The year has been full of events and I hope you have been an active part of the Alumni Association and par­ ticipated in School events. We have worked devotedly on the PNAIS self-study and counted on commitment from all areas of our community. This study will undoubtedly improve our School through strengthened commitment to OES goals. This year has been exciting for the entire OES community. At the Founders’ Day dinner last fall, we honored Paul Schlesinger ‘70 as our Distinguished Alumnus. In addi­ tion to presiding over a successful company, Paul volunteers his time to the Jewish Federation as well as the OES community. The featured article in this issue of the Bell Tower is about Service Learning, the value of serving your community and what it means to be a volunteer. During the last six years, the OES community has been honored to have a great indi­ vidual serve as Head of School. Peter Stevens has given countless hours to the OES community. During Peter’s tenure, OES has strengthened its programs such as the study abroad program, course offerings have been expanded, and financial resources have been strengthened. Although Peter was financially compensated for his duties, he often took the extra step and volunteered his time above what was expected, walking the walk and being a living example of The OES Mission. Our new Head of School, Charlie Bergman, will soon be in place and I am cer­ tain that he will continue our history of volunteering. As the school year comes to close, reunion weekend approaches. All classes ending in “6” or “1” are celebrating their reunion year. Reunion weekend is a great time to get re-acquainted with old friends, a time to make new friends and a great time to remember your time in school. I often talk to alums dur­ ing reunion weekend who say that they were fearful of coming or just didn’t think they wanted to partici­ pate, but they always wind up say­ ing how glad they are to have come and participated! I hope to see you during the fun of reunion weekend. The Alumni Board is 100% volun­ teer. Board members volunteer a considerable amount of time plan­ ning events and preserving the elements which continue to make OES a great school. We give our time for several reasons. The first is that we believe in OES! Although we may have attended a school of a different name, the OES of today embodies our spirit. We believe in the Mission Statement of OES. Another reason we volunteer is for what we get in return. When the recipient of your volunteer efforts is appreciative, you get something back, call it what you want; a good heart, a warm fuzzy feeling of being needed. Sincerely The Alumni Association has matured over the last few years under the guidance and volunteer efforts of Meridel Prideaux ‘59, Sean Kuni ‘81, and Liza Lilley ‘74. What the Alumni Association has to offer the alumni body has grown and become more inclusive of all four schools in our history—St. Helen’s Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, the Junior College, and OES. In this light, the Alumni Board is currently nominating individuals for next year’s Alumni Board. If you are interested, please call Sarah Gunderson at 768-3153 in the Alumni Office, or any Alumni Board member. Our continued volunteer efforts will strengthen our School and provide all of us with great experience and a sense of satisfaction.

We started this special year with the joyful sound of bells. Over 1,000 of them were rung by students, parents, alumni, faculty, and staff during our Opening Day ceremonies, echoed by the brass bell which stands at the center of our campus, rung 125 times by our new fifth graders. In November, we had the pleasure of gathering together again for the Founders’ Day Gala festivities. Not only was I joined by two former headmasters, the Rev. Peter Sipple and the Rev. Canon Malcolm Manson, but I had the pleasure of introducing Beatrice Thurston Paget ‘15, our oldest liv­ ing alumna! All those who attend­ ed will remember the inspiring acceptance speech of Betsy Johnson ‘69, the recipient of our 1994 Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award, and the stirring historical reflections of Chet Orloff, our keynote speaker. Most of all, we will all remember the wonderful spirit of that evening, as alumni, current and past parents, trustees, students, grandparents, and former and current faculty came together to celebrate. We have raised a good portion of the funds we will need to build the new Middle School, the linchpin of the Master Plan. Our community has certainly been enriched by the history, experi­ ences, perspectives—and music!—of others during this anniversary year. David and Julie Eisenhower spoke to us about their experiences growing up in political families, and the Alumni Lecture Series spotlighted some of our most distinguished and interesting graduates. Most recently, the Maia Quartet, the teaching quartet from the Juilliard School of Music, per­ formed a family concert on cam­ pus at St. John’s Parish. Oregon Episcopal School is leap­ ing toward the futun •even while embracing its past! More importantly, however, we have been enriched by the faces, memories and presence of our alumni. Over the past year, our graduates and faculty from St. Helens Hall, the Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall, and Oregon Episcopal School have returned in force to celebrate this happy occa­ sion. The anniversary will culmi­ nate, appropriately, with our Reunion Weekend celebration, for which our alumni will reunite on the OES campus for an old-fashioned birthday party. And now, the future. We have much to accomplish before our 150th anniversary, and I am pleased to say that we are well on our way to fulfilling the objectives of our strategic plan which will secure the future of the School. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 2 And, as always, our classrooms are full of the spirit of learning. Our science and technology program, illustrated in these pages of The OES Belltower, is just one of the many examples of our flourishing academics here at OES. Sincerely, 4 Peter W.

By 1881, the School catalogue asserted that “there will be frequent lectures on scientific subjects illus­ trated by experiments.” ▲ OES Senior Kelly Rossi performs R OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL At Oregon Episcopal School, exceptional faculty challenge students of unusual promise to reach their highest potential within a tradition distinguished by love, compassion and trust. Founded in 1869. Oregon Episcopal School is a prc-K through 12. coeducational, independent, college preparatory school in the Episcopal tradition. A full boarding program is offered in grades 9 through 12. Exceptional teachers engage students in small classes that stress participation, creativity and a passion for active learning and living. Within a traditional framework, dynamic programs in the fine and performing arts and athletics encourage student participation. Located on the Pacific Rim, the School emphasizes global studies and an international outlook. Virtually all graduates attend fine colleges. Responsible citizenship, ethics and community service are important at OES — a School where students are encouraged to reach their fullest potential in a loving and caring environment.

The explosion within the fields of science and technology has certainly changed the direction of the academic curriculum at Oregon Episcopal School. However, the hands-on, experimental nature within the classroom is probably much the same as it was 125 years ago. This issue of The OES Belltower explores the classrooms, laboratories, and computer stations that make up the School’s science and technology departments. It introduces several of our faculty who lead our students through experiments or the Internet, our alumni who are now science professionals, and our current students who are making scientific history within our own laboratories. June 1995 marks the end of the 125th Anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School. Over the past year, we’ve honored the long history of our School in different ways. We rang bells and cheered as a banner-toting plane announced our birthday on Opening Day, applauded our oldest living alumna, Beatrice Thurston Paget ‘15, as she was introduced at our Founders’ Day Gala, and reflected on the memories of David and Julie Eisenhower as part of an anniversary luncheon. Most importantly, however, the 125th anniversary has brought us together. Our current and former parents, alumni, students, faculty/staff, trustees and friends have all stepped forward to celebrate. It has truly been a year to remember! Layout and Design Graphic Solutions Printer Riddle Press The OES Belltower is published by OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL. 6300 SW Nicol Road. Portland, Oregon 97223.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 3 �The Cutting Edge: Science and Technology at OES A t any given time of the Ikday, students at Oregon Episcopal School may be studying science and technol­ ogy. And, as in any science classroom or computer lab at any school, OES students are learning the basics by working through complicated equa­ tions, learning the secrets of the Periodic Table, or keying in computer commands. However, if you explore the science classrooms and labo­ ratories or tour the computer rooms at OES, you can’t help but notice that the traditional study of science and comput­ ers goes hand-in-hand with direct experience. OES students aren’t just hearing about experiments or comput­ er programs—they’re con­ ducting and creating them. And OES faculty members are challenging them to share their findings beyond the OES campus. Interactive, experiential learning starts in the Lower School, with the study of both elementary science and com­ puter technology. OES students in the pre-kindergarten are using Macintosh computers to learn the letters of the alphabet, do math, and even create stories with the help of their parents who visit the classroom once a week. Students in the OES kinder­ garten use the computer every afternoon, utilizing pro­ grams like Bailey’s Book House to study the alphabet and Millie’s Math House to study math concepts. Every third, fourth and fifth grader has access to a laptop com­ puter for writing stories and reports, and students regular­ ly use the library computers for research through CD-ROM and on-line library catalogues. Lou Paff, head of the LS computer department for the last three years, was one of those responsible for organizing the 1992 fundrais­ ing campaign that raised $106,000 for computers for the Lower School. The cam­ paign was galvanized when LS parents expressed interest in their children getting more involved with computers. “The kids are incredible with the computers,” says Lou. “It’s been an astounding success in terms of their writ­ ing skills—they’re writing more and writing better, and they’re developing editing skills. Even in the Beginning School, the ways in which they’re using computers is amazing. They’re learning everything faster!” This spring, the Lower School will be entirely net­ worked, which means that all of their computers will be connected to those in the Upper and Middle Schools. LS students will have access to materials in the US and MS libraries, as well as to Internet, which opens up a whole world of information. mechanics and principles of physics through the use of LEGO® building blocks. At the first level of LEGO® Physics, called “Pre-LEGO®”, students create motorized machines, often robots, out of small motors and LEGO®s, using their growing knowl- Dr. June Dunbar Phillips ‘51 has spent the past five years in geriatric medicine after 29 years in family practice. She has been the first woman to hold several positions in her field, among them chief of staff at the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital, in Salinas, CA. Unfortunately, I took no science courses during my junior and senior years at St. Helens Hall. I do remember that Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson was the science faculty, and the only upper class science was chemistry. I was impressed that a woman was teaching a scientific course. I had always thought that men dominated the field. Then, Julie Franchere, one year ahead of me, was one of the finalists in the Westinghouse nationwide science contest. She won a trip to Washington D.C. I was very impressed that a girl could do well in science, and it made my decision to enter medicine easier. The challenge [to being a woman in a field primarily domi­ nated by men] is to remain true to yourself, your individuality; to do your best as an individual, not as a specific gender. I tried not to let the small innuendos, the professors’ slightly tougher questions for women students affect me. I soon found out that by working as hard or harder than the men, volunteering for extra duty, etc., I gained plenty of respect and friendship. edge of physics to make their machines run more efficiently. At the second level, students are creating more elaborate LEGO® set-ups, like a maze through which a motorized LEGO® mouse runs at the commands of a studentoperated control panel. By the third and fourth lev­ els, Jane says, students are incorporating complex LEGO® creations with computers, using Logo and Macintosh programs. In one project, a LEGO® train moves around a track, trips a motion sensor which causes the train to stop, triggering a man built of LEGO®s to wash the train, at which point a ferris wheel starts moving, an elevator moves up and down, and a crane swings around and A A LEGO* creation in the works, 1994. The Lower School approach to science is as forward-thinking as its rela­ tionship with technology. One of the most renowned courses in the LS science curriculum is LEGO® Physics, led by LS science director Jane Kenney-Norberg. Starting in the second grade, students study simple 4 dumps an object into the back of the train, then swings back. Finally, the train moves on, passing over a bridge and stopping mid-way so that its “passengers” can watch a LEGO® shark devour an unidentified object. All of these movements are computer pro­ grammed by the students. Jane emphasizes that beyond the first or second level of LEGO® Physics, students are working quite independently. “Some of the kids have been working together for four or five years by the time they reach the third or fourth level," Jane points out. “They know each other and can work very well as a team.” Lower School students have another advantage: OES is bordered by its own outdoor laboratory. Through their visits to the OES wetlands with LS teachers Lou Paff, Noreen Calkins, and David GoodmanFarley, Lower School students start to become aware of the basics of ecology, water �i I processes, and the kinds of animal and plant life in the wetland environment. By the time students reach the Middle School, they are beginning to move beyond the classroom, often with their own independent research. In addition to their courses in Life Science for sixth graders, Earth Science for seventh graders, and Introductory Physical Science for eighth graders, MS students participate in many science activities outside the classroom. Futuremakers, through Portland’s Saturday Academy, is a forum through which OES Middle School students compete with inven­ tions they have designed and created themselves. Middle Schoolers also par­ ticipate in Salmon Watch (through a community group called Oregon Trout), a pro­ gram designed to introduce students to wild salmon as liv­ ing creatures in decline, and the possibilities for sustaining them. The students’ involve­ ment with Salmon Watch cul­ minates with a visit to a local creek, where they witness the spawning of wild salmon. The Middle School also u- ▲ MS science teacher Tye Steinbach confers with students, 1994 sends several students every year to the Northwest Science Exposition; during the 1993-94 school year three MS students entered the competition and all three won awards.

My favorite teacher at OES was Jim Weber, who taught the calculus and algebra courses. I got along well with him and obtained a good foundation in math that helped me in later years. My favorite areas of study were biology, chemistry, and advanced calculus. I also took some outside courses at OMSI because of my interests. I enjoyed following the changes that were occurring in the various scientific fields. I have been in Dr. Miriam Meisler’s laboratory in the Department of Human Genetics at the University of Michigan since October 1992 as a postdoctoral researcher working on isolating a gene, mnd2, which when mutated may cause a motor neuron disease in mice. The significance of isolating the mnd2 gene is due to the fact that there are a large number of genes in common between the disease in humans and in mice. I went into science, specifically biology, for many reasons: I enjoy it; it is a challenge; it is constantly changing; it is excit­ ing because of all of the new developments that are occurring in the field; one can help lots of people, and possibly even alleviate or cure a disease; it is a way to make a significant contribution to our society; and it is a way to cause revolu­ tionary change in our society, mostly for the better. team category, and Whitney Alexander was recognized with an honorable mention for environmental sciences with her research project “Plants and Chemicals—Will They Ever Mix?” “The emphasis on indepen­ dent research in the Middle School is very valuable,” asserts MS science teacher Tye Steinbach. “Our students are designing something to answer a question, rather than simply following instruc­ tions. Sometimes I see a stu­ dent move on to a new level, a more abstract way of think­ ing, within a week. That’s really exciting.” Middle Schoolers have other kinds of unconventional science experiences, as well. MS Earth Science teacher Joan Schaller includes foren­ sic science in her curriculum. Seventh graders solve a mur­ der mystery, conducting fin­ gerprinting, lab tests on cloth­ ing, and blood testing, using clues that they are given each day in class. Introduction to computers continues in the Middle School, with students moving on to more advanced word processing, network and database usage, and Internet 5 tools. By the seventh grade, the newspaper and yearbook staffs are doing their own desktop publishing, and eighth graders begin using computer programs in math, language, and humanities classes. The OES Master Plan calls for increased com­ puter capacities in the Middle School, with computer net­ work stations in every class­ room, unlimited access to Internet and library on-line catalogues, and multimedia resources. The Lower and Middle School curricula introduce students to a variety of scientific concepts, orient them to independent research, and increase the knowledge of and level of comfort with computer tech­ nology. By the time students enter the Upper School, the science curriculum opens up a world of possibilities in terms of coursework and independent research. John LeCavalier, the head of the US science depart­ ment, describes the OES Science Department as “aggressive.” He says that science teachers urge students to perform and to do their best, whether in the classroom or in the various regional and national competi­ tions, but also realize that they have many responsibili­ ties and interests competing for their time, whether in sports, music, drama, or other academic areas. In the Upper School, as in the Lower and Middle Schools, learning about biolo­ gy, chemistry or physics is not restricted to the textbook and the blackboard; hands-on experiments and independent research are a large part of the studies of an Upper School science student. “We try to encourage them to find something they’re interested in,” asserts US chemistry teacher Rosa Hemphill. “All we require is that it be an exploration, that �it be taken through a scientific procedure, and that it consist of unknown variables, with an unknown end.” A OES senior Courtney Voelker, finalist in the 1995 Westinghouse Science Talent Search. Senior Courtney Voelker is a good example of the kind of student that teachers at Oregon Episcopal School love to have in their classes: persistent, inquisitive, and excited about learning. “She is very determined, says Rosa Hemphill about Courtney. “Any experiments we do, she gets pleasure out of seeing the results. She asks questions. Her work is always on time. Courtney has truly taken advantage of all of the opportunities that OES has to offer.” One of the reasons that the OES science faculty are particularly enthusiastic about Courtney Voelker has to do with the recentlypublicized results of the 1995 Westinghouse Science Talent Search: Courtney was select­ ed as one of only 40 national finalists in the search, which is the oldest science competi­ tion in the country, and among the most prestigious. To put Courtney’s honor in perspective, it is interesting to note that five former STS win­ ners have gone on to win the Nobel Prize. “The Westinghouse Com­ petition is such a big deal pre­ cisely because so few are chosen, and also because students are cut from the competition on both scientific and academic grounds,” points out longtime US sci­ ence teacher Dr. Bill Lamb. “The Westinghouse Com­ petition requires good grades, high test scores, and strong them in a test tube in a culture medium, it is probable that taxol will transfer to that medi­ um; this will mean that taxol could essentially be massproduced independently of the Yew tree. Kar-Yee Wu ‘90 received her B.S. from Swarthmore College this year, and will be entering medical school in fall, 1995. My attitude towards science during [my years at] OES was one of both interest and disinterest. I credit taking physics and chemistry with Dr. Lamb for preparing me very well for college and teaching me the basic problem-solving skills and thinking to take on any future challenge. "Remember, plug in the numbers at the end and if the units don’t work out, then something has to be wrong.” I was and still am interested in genetics and learning how we become who we are. Science has always seemed to be something that I should do and learn about. It had the poten­ tial to be absolutely fascinating and the potential to put me to sleep—some things never change! During college, I took a large number of science courses because of medical school requirements. I found that physics still doesn’t wow rpe, that genetics continually draws me to biology, and that organic chemistry has logic to it if you remember that nucleophiles attack electrophiles. I am enter­ ing medical school this fall and will be up to my ears in sci­ ence. *I have never felt it to be a challenge to be a woman in sci­ ence. Perhaps it has been that my teachers never seemed to draw distinctions dr point out differences between men and women in sciences. I now find myself interested in ethnobiology and learning about how native peoples in different parts of the world use plants to heal. If I ever return to taking biology and chemistry again, this would be a focus. My experiences in science at OES have given me the tools and skills I needed to progress further in my studies. Learning how to do problems a la Dr. Lamb made physics far less daunting than it could have been. I think that doing a research project each year made me think about if I wanted to do research in the future, and I have been glad of the opportu­ nity. Overall, I think that science has taught me my limits and shown me that I can achieve a lot more than I sometimes give myself credit for. “Courtney’s advancement to the Westinghouse finals is especially gratifying because the competition is so stiff,” continues Dr. Lamb. “Courtney has done excellent work, but her work has also caught the imagination of the judges with its important potential applications to curing cancer.” Courtney worked with Dr. Angela Hoffman at the University of Portland, where she had access to evaporation machines, a demonstrated performance in scientific research.” Courtney’s research involves the Pacific Yew tree, which has recently been found to produce cancer­ fighting chemical taxol. Yew trees are also generally found within old-growth forests, making their removal a topic of significant controversy. However, Courtney has found a way, besides cutting the entire tree down, of obtaining taxol. By using cuttings from the Yew tree and growing 6 high-performance liquid chromotographer and other equipment necessary to her research, as well as the direction of Dr. Hoffman. Upper School students at OES are encouraged to seek out mentors in the scientific community, and to find facili­ ties that support their research interests. “If a student has a good idea and we don’t have the laboratory equipment they need, we try to connect them with someone in the local research arena who will help them out,” says Rosa Hemphill. OES junior Matt Slater is working with Dr. Glen Kisby, a researcher at Oregon Health Sciences University. They are studying the effects of MAM (methylazoxymethanol), which is a component of the cycad seed, a food source of several indiginous people in the Western Pacific, where there is an unusually high incidence of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, and Lou Gehrig’s disease. Matt is conducting experiments with human brain tissue to see how MAM does its damage. Junior Lorissa Foster is work­ ing with Dr. David Sahn, also a researcher at OHSU, study­ ing Mitral Valve Prolapse, in which one of the valves does not close properly. Most recently, OES junior Eric Wittmayer has obtained a computer account that will enable him to run modeling on a Cray-type supercomputer called CHEMVIV. Eric’s men­ tor will be Dr. Barry Rowe, of the University of Illinois, who was contacted by Rosa Hemphill after the two of them met at a convention and she determined that he was doing work in an area that interested Eric. Very few individuals— much less high school students—are given accounts on CHEMVIV, making this mentorship quite a coup for Eric and OES. Computers are a staple in the Upper School; students do virtually all of their word �A Paleontologist Dr. Robert Bakker talks about dinosaurs as part of the Science and Technology Lecture Series, of which OES is a co­ sponsor. processing on the network, using IBM’s, Macintosh’s, and laptops. The Internet is used in science research, the library has an on-line catalog and magazine index, and the sci­ ence classes all use various computer programs in their studies. Students conduct foreign language exercises on the computer. In virtually every area of the Upper School one can find students and teachers using computers for word processing, desktop publishing, and research. In addition to their class­ room and independent study experiences, students at OES also have the benefits of exposure to a wide range of scientific experiences and information outside the class­ room. For instance, the Science Technology and Society Lecture Series, co­ sponsored by OES and select universities and research insti­ tutes in the Portland area, brings internationally recog­ nized speakers to the School to talk to students. Among recent visitors were scientist Dr. Carl Sagan, paleontologist Dr. Robert Bakker, and anthropologist Dr. Mary Catherine Bateson. The 9th Annual OES Science Symposium will host about 50 students from 15 regional high schools this year to present science research papers to a panel of judges; small cash prizes are awarded to the final winners. Students also participate in the NW Science Exposition and the Science Bowls, in addition to the OES Science Fair, when every US science student at OES displays their A The OES wetlands are an idea!—and easily accessible— outdoor laboratory. research project. “The more public we encourage our kids to go, the greater the challenge and involvement,” emphasizes John LeCavalier. In addition to being the head of the Upper School science department, John is the resident expert on the wetlands; he heads the environmental conservation group “Fans of Fanno Creek," and he conducts a Wetlands Ecology class that actively monitors the plant and animal community structures of the OES wetlands. Chemistry Brian Litzenberger ‘86 graduated from Yale University in 1990 with a B.A. in psychology, and is currently pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology at the University of Michigan. I became interested in the sciences while in Middle School at OES, but particularly during my high school years. At Dr. Lamb’s suggestion, I fell into an opportunity to work in physics research at PSU with Dr. Dash during the summer between my sophomore and junior years. Over the course of the summer I replicated a doctoral student’s research on electroplating in a magnetic field. Once he had completed his work, Dr. Dash asked me to continue, and to investigate what would happen if alpha-alumina—a powdered aluminum alloy—were added to the plating bath. I spent long hours during the summer and through the next school year working on this project in a windowless base­ ment laboratory at PSU. Again at the suggestion of Dr. Lamb, I submitted this project to the Westinghouse Science Talent Search and was named to the Honors Group of the top 300 applications in the country. In addition to this research, I became, through my friend­ ship with Fr. Tom Goman, interested in the philosophical and even religious aspects of scientific inquiry. Through my friendship and work with all of these men I developed an interest in physics. While at OES I took two years of physics. I never thought that I was so great at this but it was interest­ ing and, I felt, compelling. During my first year at Yale, I pursued a major in physics. It was during my second semester of that year that I experi­ enced the ephipany that changed my academic focus. During the final exam of the semester, I realized that I was pursuing this degree not for myself but for those men whom I had idealized. In short, I realized that I was trying to be them rather than myself. Not a great moment to have a realization of this nature. I immediately shifted my major from physics and theatre to psychology and theater, a seemingly more comfortable mar­ riage. This transition led me to become interested in both psychological research and clinical practice. I became involved in peer counseling, rape crisis counseling and sex education. I was thrilled by these opportunities and felt that I had found my niche. I often find that an understanding of rigorous scientific method has helped me in both my research and my clinical work. Since college, my research has focused on sibling abuse and psychosexual identity development. Clinically, I have worked as a therapist in individual adult psychotherapy as well as child and couples’ treatment. I can honestly say that it was the support and the creativity I found in studying science at OES that provided me with the crucial boost that I needed both to compete effectively in col­ lege and to pursue my own interests in the field of psychology. students monitor the water quality of the OES marsh. John sees the wetlands as an ideal outdoor laboratory, where his students can put their knowledge and observa­ tions to good use. Their stud­ ies of the wetlands are the perfect example of the overall philosophy of the OES approach to science and technology: Why restrict 7 studies to textbooks or equa­ tions on the blackboard, when you can conduct the experi­ ments yourself, and possibly contribute something signifi­ cant to the field? “I say to them, ‘So, you know something about the wetlands. So what. Let’s go use that knowledge right now, not in ten years.’” �Sho^&ell The 125th Anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School Continues! ▲ Current parent Chet Orloff Executive Director of the Oregon Historical Society, spoke to parents, alumni, faculty, staff trustees and students about “Oregon Heroes," on the occasion of the 125th Anniversary Founders’ Day Gala. ▲ Beat nee Thurston Paget ‘15 received a standing ovation at the Founders' Day Gala; she attended St. Helens Hall and is the oldest living alumna of the School. ▲ BetsyJohnson ‘69 was awarded with the 1994 Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award during the gala dinner held in honor of thefounding of OES.

(shown shaking the hand ofBishopJames Carman), whose parents owned and ran Ike Nicol Riding Academy on the 32 acres where OES now stands In our last anniversary issue of The OES Belltower, Carl Reynolds recalled the beginnings of his family's long connec­ tion with Oregon Episcopal School. Here, his story’ continues. FROM ST. HELENS HALL TO OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL By Carl Reynolds By 1958, it was clear that a freeway would be built that would probably result in the condemnation of the St. Helens Hall prop­ erty. The final choice of the route had not yet been chosen, but the handwriting was on the wall. My wife Mary was asked to head a committee to start looking for suitable property on which to relocate the School. I made a number of trips with her to look at what was available. It was evi­ dent that we could not replace our central, downtown location. Land values were too high, and open space for playing fields was lacking. An important factor was the need for good trans­ portation possibilities. We looked at some very nice and relative­ ly inexpensive land that was too far out. One promising parcel was below Skyline Road on the Tualatin Valley side of the West Hills. This site was too far from through roads and would have been too costly to develop. Other sites seemed too small. It was then learned that the Nicol Riding Academy was avail­ able, just off Scholls Ferry Road, alongside the Portland Golf Club property. This was clearly better than anything we had seen yet. The main block of land was 28 acres, and there was room for playing fields and building sites. Much planning was now undertaken. The School had admit­ ted boys in the pre-school and in the lower grades, and there was greater pressure to raise the grade level to permit boys to stay on to higher grades. The idea of extending boys all the way 12 through the 12th grade was now entertained. The future name of such a school was a problem here. Mrs. Fariss suggested The Hall as an overall name, retaining the old and established name St. Helens Hall for the girls’ side of the School. The con­ cept of the coordinate boys’ school, sharing facilities such as a library, cafeteria, laboratories, and meeting rooms, seemed to be the most practical solution. Many formerly segregated inde­ pendent schools across the nation were becoming coeduca­ tional at this time. Another possibility was examined at this time: the idea of merging St. Helens Hall with The Catlin Gabel School. This had been discussed before, but a last effort was made to see if this was possible. Catlin had similar problems of debt, financial weakness, and lack of space on their hillside campus. But the two schools had substantial differences in history and outlook. Neither side wanted to give up its name, and the church spon­ sorship of St. Helens Hall made a merger virtually impossible. Once a site had been chosen, the matter of choosing an architect was faced. It was at this point that Mary felt that I should take her place on the Board of Trustees, and this was arranged. I soon found myself chairman of a small committee to choose an architect. For advice, I went to see the chairman of the School of Architecture and Allied Arts at the University of Oregon in Eugene, a man named Van Evera Bailey. He was an architect whose own work was much admired. His first question to me was “Do you want to look nationally or locally?’’ We dis­ cussed this, and he made the point that we had a number of local architectural firms that were highly regarded. One of the first names he suggested was that of John Yeon, who had a national reputation for some of his work. He had not been practicing recently, and it was doubtful whether he would be interested. I nevertheless paid him a visit. I told him that we would not be a typical school, that it would have a residence department, and a chapel, and that we wanted to avoid an insti- �1 2 5 Y E A R S tutional feeling and make our campus a pleasant place to live and work. John Yeon and I had a stimulating hour together. He brought out a number of books and we sat on the floor while he commented on architectural work that he admired. I think he was tempted by this possible commission, but after thinking it over for a week, he finally declined. He observed that this was not a historical time that was favorable to architecture! Van Evera Bailey also discussed the relative merits of small firms and big firms. One of the large firms based in Portland was Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, already a firm of national signifi­ cance. He mentioned that their leading designer had recently decided to open his own office. This was Lewis Crutcher, who had won several design prizes for Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill. There were several other firms that our committee considered seriously, including one that had done a number of schools in the Portland area. We looked up some of these schools, and were not impressed. After considerable soul searching, we final­ ly chose Lewis Crutcher. ▲ Carl Reynolds (on left, with hand on frame) and SHH students look on as groundbreaking for the Nicol Road campus begins. The next stage was to study the site, to meet with the Board and the head of the School, and discuss our needs and budget, and lay the groundwork for some preliminary sketches. This is a moment when basic decisions are made, and one’s hopes and dreams have to be fitted into the practical and financial realities. It was an exciting time for us all. Gradually a plan evolved for a pre-school, lower school, middle school, and upper school, a gymnasium, a chapel, and residence units behind. These build­ ings climbed the gentle hillside, symbolizing the advance in edu­ cation from pre-school through 12th grade. The Board was now faced with a major fund raising challenge. We needed professional help, and turned to a New York firm, Ward, Dresham & Reinhardt, that had led some highly success­ ful campaigns for church-related independent schools such as ours in other parts of the country. During October of 1961 he gave our Board an inspiring picture of what we could do. Our work was clearly cut out for us. Many meetings were held. I remember one where Bishop Carman addressed a small group of prominent businessmen at the Arlington Club. These were not all members of the Episcopal Church. The Bishop explained that Jesus had been interested in teaching and heal­ ing, and that was why the Church had always supported ◄ Members of the Class of ‘65, ‘66 and 67 of St. Helens Hall tour the new Nicol Road dorms during their construction. schools and hospitals. There was a rather widespread mis­ conception in the community that St. Helens Hall was some kind of parish school rather than a rigorous, college-preparatory independent school. Bishop Carman made it clear that there was no conflict between science and religion at the School; he said, simply, that all truth is God’s truth. The campaign took a lot of work, and a considerable amount of time. It had to suc­ ceed, and it did. We were able to start construction on schedule, during 1963. We were fortunate at this time to have a highly qualified vol­ unteer show up for an important job, that of Clerk of the Works. This was George Titus, an architect licensed in New York, who had served in the U.S. Army as a colonel in the engineers during World War II, and afterwards in Europe in the Greek Civil War. A clerk of the works on large jobs such as this checks on the progress of construction, ensuring that the work is up to specifi­ cations. He represents the client, St. Helens Hall, in matters of dispute between the architect and the contractors, and the innumerable problems that arise. This donated work was of immense value to the School during the era of construction. The design of the chapel was much influenced by the ideas of Robert Greenfield, the School chaplain. As I had been teaching history of art and architecture, I could appreciate some of Father Greenfield’s ideas. He wanted to follow the general character of the Early Christian churches, such as the Church of San Clemente in Rome, which preserves a very early pattern for the basilica type church and chancel. This was carried out by Lewis Crutcher, while harmonizing the larger structure with the other buildings nearby. The entire chapel was enlarged over the original concept, as one of the major donors to the building program, who was an alumna, felt that it should be big enough to house the entire stu­ dent body and guests for graduation ceremonies. The back of the church is designed to have a considerable loft, which was not built at the time for lack of funds, but one may see a ther­ mostat high on the south wall which anticipated this second floor. The retro chapel at the east end was created to house the window and some of the furniture of the old School chapel at 13th & Hall, which was important to the older alumnae, and pro­ vided continuity with the past. Bringing the old school bell, and the cross which had surmounted the cupola of the School in the past was also part of this respect for tradition. The enlargement of the chapel opened the door to the possibility of establishing a parish church which could share facilities with the School. Inevitably, as the bids came in, it was clear that not all of the original plans could be built within our budget. The original plans called for a large inside planted area with a skylight between the cafeteria and the Great Hall. This had to be 13 �1 2 5 Y E A R S O squeezed down to a rather narrow planter, which, as a matter of fact, was never planted. A considerably more serious loss was the necessity of postponing an auditorium, which was referred to as the “Lecture Theater.” This was designed to have a bal­ cony which could be closed off for smaller class use, with a pro­ jection screen, while the larger main floor could be used sepa­ rately at the same time, or the two levels combined. The area for this facility was left vacant, like a missing front tooth, but the places for the doors were blocked up in such a way that they could easily be knocked out if the auditorium were to be built later. Adequate offices for the School heads was also left until later. It was anticipated that there would be growth and need for expansion in A. Gertrude Fariss, director ofSHH, Lewis the future, and the possibility of Crutcher, architect of the Nico!

Carman conduct the west end of the Upper the symbolic turning over of the keys on the occasion of the new Raleigh Hills campus School was planned. As the concept for a coordinate boys’ school was worked out, the time came to seek its head. The School was named Bishop Dagwell Hall. Bishop Dagwell had taken a strong interest in the boys’ school, and committed a discretionary fund which he con­ trolled to the project, which formed a starting point for making it possible. Much thought was given to ensuring that Bishop Dagwell Hall have a masculine image and not appear as a wing in a girls’ school. A strong athletic program, traditional in inde­ pendent schools, was contemplated. As the new school was completed, a number of imperfections appeared that required fixing. The roof leaked in a number of places, and the contractor had to be held to correct this. The heating system greatly overheated certain areas and left others cold. Lewis Crutcher was much criticized for this, but George Titus explained to the Board that Lou had hired the most respected firm of heating engineers in Portland, the same firm used by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, to design the system. George explained that heating engineering is not an exact sci­ ence. It took a long time to adjust and balance the system to get it to work properly. The Board was very fortunate to have Julian Cheatham of the Georgia-Pacific Corp, as a member at this time. He took a spe­ cial interest in having first-class playing fields built, and was very supportive of the Schools. These were exciting but difficult times, with many problems. There were now two Boards of Trustees, one for St. Helens Hall and one for Bishop Dagwell Hall. Friction was bound to develop, and it did. It took several years of adjustment to work out the problems, and eventually reach the goal of a fully coeducational school with one board of trustees and one headmaster. These 14 F L O A L T Y were changing times in the country, as well; it was the era of a civil rights movement, the Vietnam War, disruptions on college campuses, and the counterculture. It is indicative of the school’s great underlying strength that it came through all of these changes, from St. Helens Hall to OES, so successfully. But there were rough periods as any who lived through that era knows. It was especially hard on Mrs. Fariss when she was urged to step down sooner than she would have chosen. When this time came, in 1968, Muriel Gabriel Heltzel *30, representing the St. Helens Hall alumnae, and my wife Mary Reynolds were made co-chairpersons of a recognition banquet to honor Mrs. Fariss and the vital role she played in preserving the School in some of its most difficult times, and to recognize her services to Oregon education in general. The banquet was held in the grand ballroom of the Hilton Hotel, and Senator Mark Hatfield was the guest speaker. A telegram from President Eisenhower was read, thanking Mrs. Fariss for the part she played in organizing a White House Conference on Children and Youth during his administration. The many offices and honors she had received in the field of education were reviewed. But those who knew her best knew that it was her devotion, self-sacrifice, and iron determination that had kept the School going when it might have been forced to close. There was one final contribution Mary and I were able to make for the future of the School in the 1960’s. The Portland Hunt Club had decided to move out of its ever more urbanized location to more open country. Their property was actually in contact with the School property via a finger of land that had been attached to the Nicol property to provide riding trails. The School was interested in the hillside immediately south of its 4 It is wonderful to see OESflourishing as it is now...

Mary and Mrs. Fariss tried to approach Mr. Frank about a possible purchase, but he was not interested at the time. Nevertheless, Mary and I decided to purchase the Hunt Club property in 1966, and to hold it for the School. It included about 12 acres of fairly flat bottom land where a riding ring had existed and about 4 more acres that included the old club house and some undeveloped building sites along the entrance road. One idea was that at some time in the future the School might need additional land for athletic facilities, or perhaps the Frank land would sometime be available and a trade could be made. It is wonderful to see OES flourishing as it is now. Many have contributed to its success. Mary and I were privileged, in our time, to be able to play a part in this ongoing story. Shortly before her sudden death last April, Mary and I spoke to each other of how glad we were that we had done the things in our lives that we did, when we did them. Now, with the new Master Plan, some of what could not be completed for the School in the 1960s can at last be built. It is a great opportunity!

Our journeys to Asia have also initiated the Trustees’ Pacific Rim Council as well as faculty professional growth opportunities sending OES teachers to Japan to study ancient pottery techniques and to China to learn about their educational system. The international ethos of OES has been significantly enhanced and nurtured over the years by the families who have joined us from Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and Thailand. OES requires international applicants to be in the top 1/3 of their class, have the equivalent of A’s and B’s on their transcripts, take a TOEFL test (English proficiency exam), have an interview, complete essays, and submit written teacher recommendations. OES representatives visit with the various United States Information Agencies and American Embassies, the foreign, domestic, and international schools in each city, consultants, educational ministers, international business people, and American expatriots. Current and former OES parents in Asia provide the largest number of prospective student referrals to the School. Gatherings and dinner parties hosted by OES or our international parents and friends in the various Asian cities allow current families to meet and visit with one another and afford prospective parents an opportunity to learn more about the program. In December, Sue Nicol, Director of Development, visited in Tokyo, Singapore, Bangkok, Taipei and Hong Kong, and shared information with parents both about their children’s progress in school and answered specific questions dealing with the School’s growth, the strategic plan, the OES FUND, college placements, individual student academic schedules, and much more. There are virtually hundreds of applicants seeking admis­ sion to OES, and Sue recalls a number of days where the inter­ views went from early morning until late at night. Given the swelling demand for admission to OES, it becomes even more important for the School to visit Asian cities and spend time with our current parents. They want to hear about their children. They know us best, and they know what it takes to succeed at OES. Part of the sense of community we build at OES comes from the hearts of those who entrust us with their children coming from half a world away! Our Statement of Purpose notes that “...we seek students from diverse back­ grounds....” This we interpret literally, and all of us benefit from the global citizenship and lifelong friendships we share.

The tax laws have permitted a deduction for charitable contributions since the enactment of the first federal income tax in 1917, and it has remained an important part of the Internal Revenue Code through countless administrations. One Congressional pundit observed that Democrats like the charitable deduction because “it’s good social policy" and Republicans like it because “it’s fair.” Whatever the policy justification, the charitable deduction effectively reduces the out-of-pocket cost of charitable gifts by excluding the amount of the gift from the donor’s taxable income, and thereby reducing the donor’s income tax liability. A charitable gift will still “cost” the donor something—after all, the tax rates aren’t 100 per­ cent—but the charitably-inclined taxpayer can take advantage of the deduction to help fulfill his or her philanthropic goals with a “sub­ sidy” from reduced taxes. Charitable giving can thus be viewed as a charitable partnership with the federal government, and with state governments that, like Oregon, impose an income tax. President Clinton’s 1993 tax pack­ age, the Revenue Reconciliation Tax Act of 1993, dramatically in­ creased the income tax and estate tax rates for wealthier individuals. It added a 36 percent marginal rate for taxable income (gross income less allowable deductions) of mar­ ried couples filing joint returns in excess of $140,000 and for unmar­ ried couples with returns in excess of $115,000. Additionally, a new 39.6 rate applies to taxable income in excess of $250,000 for both joint returns and unmarried persons. I The maximum tax rate on capital gains remained at 28 percent. The new Republican Congress has proposed a variety of tax cuts, but most experts expect little relief beyond a possible capital gains tax cut. Current tax laws usually permit donors to claim an itemized deduction for the full amount of gifts to qualified charities. Unfortunately, the deduction is unavailable to donors who claim the standard deduction—$6,350 for married persons filing joint returns for 1994, or $3,800 for unmarried persons—rather than itemizing their deductions. For higher income individuals, the overall benefit of the charitable deduction can be reduced by the “3 percent rule.” For 1994, this rule applies to taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of more than $111,800. Taxpayers subject to the limitation must reduce their charitable and most other itemized deductions by 3 percent of the amount of their adjusted gross income in excess of the $111,800 threshold, up to a maximum of 80 percent of the itemized deduc­ tions. Some deductions, such as medical expenses and investment interest, are exempt from the rule. The 3 percent rule is scheduled to expire in 1995, but President Clinton has proposed that it be made permanent, and there has been some fear in the charitable community that the percentage may even be raised. The tax benefit of a charitable gift depends on the donor’s effective income tax rate. The higher the rate, the higher the benefit and hence the lower the “cost." OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 20 A. Jeffrey C. Tbecle. PC, of Miller, Nasb, Wiener, Hager and Carlsen, Attorneys at Law. Example: A donor in the 31 percent bracket makes a $10,000 gift to OES. Taking into account the allowable $10,000 charitable deduction, the donor enjoys a tax savings of $3,000 ($ 10,000 x 31%), resulting in an out-of-pocket cost of $6,900. If the donor were in the 36% bracket, the $10,000 gift would result in a tax savings of $3,600 ($10,000 x 36%), reducing the actual cost to $6,400. For wealthier persons, potential estate tax savings can reduce the effective “cost” of a charitable gift even more dramatically. Under current tax laws, federal estate tax is imposed against estates in excess of $600,000, except for property passing to a spouse or charity, at rates of between 37 percent and 55 percent for estates over $3 million. The combined income and estate tax savings can be remarkable. �Example: A donor is in the 39.6 percent top income tax bracket and the 55 percent top estate tax bracket. During her lifetime the donor makes a generous $100,000 gift to OES. The gift results in an income tax savings of $39,600, and the donor’s estate is reduced by the entire amount contributed ($100,000), saving an additional $55,000 in estate taxes. The total income and estate tax savings is $94,600, resulting in an effective cost of the $100,000 gift of only $5,400! When most people think of charita­ ble gifts, they naturally think of giv­ ing cash. But a charitable gift of appreciated property, such as securities and real property, can provide even better tax benefits. For gifts of most kinds of appreci­ ated property, generally non-business property held for more than one year, a donor may deduct the entire fair market value of the prop­ erty at the time of the gift, rather than just the donor’s original cost of the property. Example: A donor in the 36 per­ cent income tax bracket makes a charitable gift to OES of IBM stock with a value of $10,000 that he purchased many years ago for $1,000. The donor may deduct the entire $10,000 value, rather than merely his $1,000 “cost basis." He enjoys a tax savings of $3,600 ($10,000 x 36%), resulting in an out-of-pocket cost (ignoring capital gains tax savings) of $6,400 ($10,000 minus $3,600). The reason that charitable gifts of appreciated property are so bene­ ficial is that you can in effect enjoy a double benefit from the gift. First, you receive an income tax charita­ ble deduction for the gift based upon the entire fair market value of the property, and second, you avoid paying any capital gains tax on your “paper gain.” Example: If the donor in the above example sold his IBM stock, he would pay income tax on his $9,000 capital gain of $2,520 ($9,000 x 28%). But if he con­ tributed the IBM stock to charity, he would avoid paying any income tax on the appreciation, and realize an overall benefit of $6,120 ($3,600 plus $2,520) resulting in an out-ofpocket cost of only $3,880 ($10,000 minus $6,120). spouse is the beneficiary, can be subject to estate tax at rates up to 55 percent. And then, unlike most other inherited assets, the remaining plan assets are subject to income taxes when received by the beneficiary, subject to a limited deduction for estate taxes paid. Finally, in the case of very large retirement accounts, a portion of the account can be subject to an additional excise tax of 15 percent. Another great strategy for a donor with appreciated securities who is considering a charitable gift of cash is to donate securities and use the retained cash to pur­ chase the same securities. This gives the donor a “free" increased tax basis and saves future capital gains taxes. The combination of estate, income, and excise taxes on large retire­ ment plans can be as much as 80 percent of the plan. That’s the bad news. The good news is that trans­ fers to charitable organizations can generally eliminate these taxes, so that the entire plan balance can be preserved for the donor’s charitable goals. Retirement plan accounts can also be paid to a “charitable remainder trust” for the plan participant’s spouse or other beneficiaries, still eliminating or reducing estate and income taxes, and providing life income benefits to the beneficiary. Example: A donor in the 36 per­ cent tax bracket intends to make a $10,000 cash gift to OES, but also owns 100 shares of IBM stock with a value of $10,000 and a cost basis of $1,000. Rather than giving cash, she could donate the securi­ ties (with a value of $10,000) and use her $10,000 in cash to pur­ chase 100 new shares of IBM with a cost basis of $10,000. If the donor later sold the stock for $20,000 she would pay tax on the capital gain of only $2,800 ($20,000 value, $10,000 basis x 28% tax rate). However, had she instead donated cash and retained her original stock, the tax would be $5,320 ($20,000 value, $1,000 basis x 28%). (Because of possible “wash sale" issues, the donor should wait at least 30 days from the date of gift before purchasing new securities.) SPRING 19 9 5 Tax breaks will never be a substi­ tute for genuine philanthropy. But the charitably-inclined taxpayer can take advantage of the charita­ ble partnership with the govern­ ment to fulfill their charitable goals—and enjoy a helpful subsidy from reduced taxes. Retirement plan assets also pre­ sent a unique opportunity, at least in the case of testamentary trans­ fers, which are gifts at the time of the donor’s death. Unlike most other types of assets, retirement plans (such as IRA, KEOGH, and 401 (k) accounts) can be subject to three taxes. At the time of the plan participant’s death, the account assets are included in the partici­ pant’s estate for estate tax purpos­ es, and, unless the participant’s OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 21 �SPRING 19 9 5 Alumni Association President’s Corner £ r■ ▲ Liza Lilley '74 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Greetings from the Alumni Association! The 1994-95 school year is zooming by and the cele­ bration of our 125th Anniversary will come to a close in a few months. We hope you have been able to attend some of the events scheduled to celebrate the long history of OES. Last fall we honored Betsy Johnson ‘69 at the Founders’ Day Gala. Betsy was the recipient of the Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award. Her commitment and service as a vol­ unteer to community projects brings honor to herself and to OES. We were also pleased to recognize our oldest living alumna, Beatrice Thurston Paget ‘15, and past head­ masters Peter Sipple and Malcolm Manson, who honored us with their presence. It was a grand evening. In early December we had the opportunity to hear Julie and David Eisenhower, daughter of President Richard Nixon and grandson of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. David and Julie discussed the impact mentors had on the lives of Nixon and Eisenhower, their own experiences growing up in political families, and their stories of life in Washington D.C. The luncheon highlighted Summerbridge Portland, an OES-Catlin Gabel sponsored summer program which offers intensive learning experi­ ences to promising local middle school students with limited edu­ cational opportunities. The new year was kicked off with Young Alumni Day in the first week of January. Approximately 40 alumni from the classes of 1990 through 1994 joined current juniors and seniors on campus to share their college and work experiences and reminisce about their OES years. Thanks to Josh Orfanakis *91 and Heather Laird ‘94 for hosting this event! The 125th Anniversary Alumni Lecture Series continued with a pre­ sentation by Paul Schlesinger ‘70. In addition to his prominance as a business leader in Portland, Paul is also an active volunteer at OES and in the greater Portland com­ munity; he serves on the OES Board of Trustees, is the Vice President of the Jewish Federation of Portland, and serves as an exec­ utive committee member of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Paul spoke about his passion for the activist roles he has chosen over the past four decades, and how that passion is now being translated to and carried on by his own children. In February, OES students, alumni, staff, and faculty presented The Dining Room, a play written by A.R. Gurney, at Alumni Night at the Theatre. Over forty alumni ranging from the ‘30s through the ‘90s attended the play, which fea­ tured 17 funny, sad and touching vignettes, entirely acted out around a dining table. Our regional events continue to bring out-of-town alumni together; in January, Brent Erensel ‘74 host­ ed a gathering in New York, which Headmaster Peter Stevens attend­ ed, and an anniversary gathering for Seattie-area alumni and friends of the School was held in February. And the anniversary continues! For our fourth and final Alumni Lecture, Daphne Wysham ‘79 will be visiting the School on May 1 to discuss environmental issues in India, from where she will have recently returned from a six-week trip. Daphne is the former senior editor of Greenpeace Magazine, and is currently conducting research with the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C. And finally, remember to mark your calendars for events that are scheduled during this spring’s anniversary-year Reunion Weekend. On June 9, following the Senior Reception for the Class of ‘95, a dinner will be held on the OES cam­ pus to honor the St. Helens Hall 22 Class of 1945, who are celebrating their 50th reunion. These alumnae will then process with the Class of ‘95 during their graduation the fol­ lowing day, at Trinity Cathedral. Reunion will be held on Saturday, June 17. The reunions for 1995 are scheduled for SHH, SHH JC, BDH and OES classes ending in a “0” and a “5” (e.g. 1950, 1985). This year, we would like to encourage all alumni to attend, because we will be cele­ brating the 125th birthday of OES with an old-fashioned birthday party on campus! The festivities will include games, live music, birthday picnic fare, and other sur­ prises. Your class agent will be in touch with you, or you may call the Alumni Office at (503)768-3153 for more information. I encourage those celebrating a reunion this summer to join the festivities. From a personal per­ spective, my class celebrated our 20th reunion last summer and it was great fun. Classmates arrived from Florida, New York, Washington, D.C., Seattle and throughout Oregon and Washington. Some of us had not seen each other since our graduation in 1974. We shared special memories and created new ones. It was a celebration in the truest sense. Serving as President of the Alumni Association this year has been very exciting for me. The anniversary of a school is always special, but this year has been especially exciting because so many of our alumni have come back to the School to visit, whether they attended St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, or OES. It is wonderful to see that kind of loyal­ ty! I would also like to thank Jack McCann ‘84, my vice president, and the other members of the Alumni Board for their dedication and hard work. I am pleased to announce that Jack will be taking over as President this coming year. Enjoy the remaining months of our 125th anniversary, and please do not hesitate to forward your ideas and comments to me about the Alumni Association.

A A banner-toting airplane was just one of the many surprises during the Opening Day festivities. Greeted by perfect weather, over 700 students returned to campus with their parents on September 7, 1994, to kick off the 125th Anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School. The School’s long history in Portland was honored on this occasion with the presence of SHH, BDH and OES alumni and special guests, including the Royal Rosarians, who planted the OES 125th Anniversary rose in honor of the occasion. Over 1,000 brass bells were rung in succession by students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff, and a banner-toting airplane proclaimed the anniversary celebration. The 125th Anniversary Song was sung by all, and the fifth grade carried out their traditional bell ringing. This year, there were 125 rings of the bell that has followed the School since its founding in 1869. A reception for alumni and special guests followed in the 125th Commemorative Rose Garden, where the new School rose has been planted. In keeping with the momentous nature of this special year, this fall edition of The OES Belltower is devoted to the memories of our alumni. Reflected in the photos, quoted anecdotes, and excerpts from School publications is the spirit of Oregon Episcopal School which has endured throughout the past 125 years. 3 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 19 9 4 Opening Day Kicks Off The 125th! 2k OES dads wear cool ties!

Cynthia joined the staff of the School in 1965, when it was still St. Helens Hall for girls. Initially a history, English, and religion teacher for sophomores and juniors, Cynthia filled her current post of college counselor in 1977, and has turned that program into a curriculum staple for OES juniors and seniors. The college counseling pro­ gram includes a handbook for OES students and their parents, which Cynthia wrote, and period­ ic informational meetings, includ­ ing visits from college admissions officers. Cynthia herself routinely visits colleges and attends National Association of College Admission Counselors and College Board meetings. During Winterim, she holds a one week AUTUMN 19 9 4 introductory program for juniors, called College Decisions, and throughout the academic year there is intensive, one-on-one advising for Seniors before, dur­ ing and after the college applica­ tion process. In an interview with The OES Belltower in its Autumn, 1992 issue, Cynthia reflected on the ways in which the School had changed—and remained the same—over the past 25 years since she joined the staff: OES has become a much more informal place. When Mrs. Fariss walked through the Great Hall 25 years ago, everyone stood up...Uniform regulations were rigid. And 25 years ago, no one would have dreamed of calling me Cynthia. Some of the best things have remained constant. This School has always had a sense of com­ munity—almost like a family. OES also has a love of—almost celebrates—the individual... And, I guess finally, we have a respect for learning. It’s one of our keystones. We are able to inculcate a love of learning. Today, Cynthia emphasizes that, like OES, her job as college counselor has evolved. ▲ Cynthia Doran counsels an earnest member of the senior class. “The emphasis at OES has always been on academic suc­ cess, and hand-in-hand with that emphasis is the desire for our stu­ dents to go to what is thought of as a ‘great college’,” Cynthia says. “But I also think that students today understand more than ever that they need to find a good match. They’re looking for a col­ lege experience that is right for them as individuals.” Sister Agatha Louise, the principal, was my favorite teacher. She was so firm, but so kind.

We belong in a place that remembers those who gave it life. OES is such a place. In the seven years I have been a part of OES I have never seen this school—this community— look to the future without first taking courage and wisdom from its past. Whether on the playing field, in the classroom, in a faculty or board meeting or in the dorm, there is the constant question that underlies every decision, and the life of this com­ munity: "Does what we are doing today honor those who came before us?” I am pleased to say that it does. I have never heard anyone say “OES used to be such a good school." Sure, the School has changed—it’s designed to. Life is supposed to go on. But through the years and all the changes, students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff have continued a tradition of excel­ lence that goes back 125 years. Today we honor 19 people who have lived that tradition and passed it on to us. I teach in the Middle School and...Mary Reynolds is among those we remember today. Her grand­ daughter, Margaret Reynolds, just received the Faculty Award for outstanding scholarship and positive contributions to the OES community. The tradition goes on.

Appropriately, the Everglade is now owned by an alumna of St. Helens Hall, Shirley Fulton Coan ‘32, who moved there with her husband and three children in the 1960s. The house remains much the same today as it was in the ‘30’s. In 1950, The Rev. Lansing Kempton purchased Everglade from the Sisters who directed St. Helens Hall, bur made only minor changes to rhe house. Shirley and her husband Ralph have remodeled the house over the years since they bought it, but only under the original roofline. The dormitory for the girls from St. Helens Hall and the Junior College is now the mas­ ter bedroom, and the many Everglade, then and now. small bathrooms (which “never worked,” Shirley laughs) are now a galley kitchen.

Participation, Top Facilities and Fun: A Winning Combination ■ n the past twenty years since I Athletics Director Kris Van OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Hatcher ‘70 first joined the staff at Oregon Episcopal School, its sports program has changed a great deal. “We’ve always had strong teams,” Kris emphasizes, “but in the past ten years the sports pro­ gram has really gotten stronger." Over the past five years, more than 80 OES athletes have received individual recognition including All-League and All­ State honors. The girls soccer team won the State Champion­ ship in 1993, and the boys track team was the District Champion in 1994. OES fencers have been the State Champions every year since 1988, and both the girls’ and boys’ tennis teams have won the State Championship for the past two years, with the girls’ team taking the singles champi­ onship and the boys’ winning the doubles championship for the last two years. The success, Kris says, can be partly attributed to a variety of facility changes at the School. The new Yanagitani track, donat­ ed by OES parents Kazunori and Tei Yanagitani in 1988, the addi­ tion of SPARC during the same year, and the improvements to the School’s three outdoor soc­ cer fields have given the sports program an extra edge, in both practice and competition. Since Kris became the head of the program 10 years ago, he has also made a real effort to create a philosophy among his staff which reflects the belief that success in athletics is only part of the equa­ tion. Participation and fun, he says, are just as important. He also emphasizes that a great deal of the success of the OES athlet­ ic program can be attributed to a staff that follows through on this 16 philosophy and brings it out in the students who participate. The “no cut policy” means that as long as students have the desire to play, they can be mem­ bers of a team and will play on a regular basis, regardless of their level of achievement. OES has had 80% participation over the past ten years, despite the chal­ lenge of balancing schoolwork and sports. “It’s got to be difficult," Kris acknowledges, “But I really believe that it makes the kids more organized overall, and gives them more energy.” Another tribute to the success of the athletic program at OES came when four of its coaches— Kris, Coleen Conkey, Mike Devenney and Rich Sherwood— were named Coach of the Year on either the District or State Level during the 1993-’94 school year. “The bottom line is that OES is blessed with talented kids who are also really intelligent,” Kris says. “Kids can get an excellent education at OES, as well as a strong athletic program, where they’ll play more and get more individual attention than at other schools." �AUTUMN 19 9 4 ▲ The basketball team of 1933, tvbicb was undefeatedfor six years.

Fall 1994 signalled the beginning i entire OES community. For this issue of The OES Belltower, Carl Reynolds has written a story of the beginnings of their family's involvement with the School. The “second chapter" willfollow in the spring edition of the magazine. of the 125th anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School Throughout the past cen­ tury and a quarter, the loyally of the School's former students, faculty, staff, par­ ents and extendedfamilies has remained true, as a tribute to the strength of its acade­ mics and to the spirit within its walls. When my youngest daughter, Kathy, was graduated from the OES Upper School in 1971, my wife Mary and I calculated that our four children had been involved in over 50 years of education at St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School! How did this happen, and what brought about such loyalty? One of thefinest examples of this allegience has been displayed over the past five decades by the Reynoldsfamily. Allfour children of Carl and Mary Reynolds were enrolled in and graduatedfrom the School during the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Carl Reynolds and his father were both faculty members at St. Helens Hall Now, a new generation of Reynolds are attending Oregon Episcopal School Lower and Middle School students Mackenzie and Margaret Reynolds are the children of Chuck Reynolds ‘70BDH and his wife, Chris. Chuck was, himself, a member of the faculty of Oregon Episcopal School after graduating from Bishop Dagwell Hall ▲ Carl Reynolds, former parent and faculty member, and grandparent of current IS student Mackenzie and MS student Margaret. Sadly, Mary Reynolds passed away on April 13, 1994, and will be missed by the 26 I will have to start out by saying that it was my wife Mary who got me involved. It was she who was search­ ing for a pre-school for our second oldest daughter, Becky, and discov­ ered the St. Helens Hall pre-school on the old downtown campus at 13th and Hall Street. At this time our oldest daughter, Lydia, was attending a pub­ lic school on the East side of Portland, and Mary had joined their PTA. Mary became aware that she was having problems in her class. We were about to move to the West side of town, and decided to try our daughter out in the 4th grade at St. Helens Hall. �1 2 5 Y ▲ Kathy Reynolds '77 E A R S o F ▲ Margaret Reynolds.

After the Junior College was closed in 1947 (which she deeply regretted), there was a period of uncertain leadership, until Mrs. Fariss was brought back to take charge of St. Helens Hall in 1954. There, her teacher noticed at once that Lydia seemed to have trouble seeing. She would come to the front of the room to sharpen a pencil, in order to see what was on the blackboard. The teacher suggested that we have her eyes examined, and we were shocked to find that she couldn’t read the big E on the eye chart! She had the challenging task of maintaining the School’s high academic standards, small classes, and high moral and spiri­ tual reputation with a most inadequate budget. Mrs. Fariss, by this time, had excellent connections with the academic world, and a talent for finding dedicated and highly qualified teachers who were willing or able to teach for embarrassingly low salaries. This was possible, of course, because the teaching conditions were so favorable, but it was not a healthy situa­ tion, and one of which Mrs. Fariss was acutely aware. With proper glasses, the whole world became clearer for Lydia. The value of the small classes, personal attention and very caring teachers was dramatically evident to us. We soon found that this was characteristic of the School. Mary quickly became an active parent, attending meetings, joining work parties and learning about the School. One of the things we learned early on was that the School was in a very precarious financial condition. When Mary and I became involved in 1953, Gertrude Fariss had been asked to take over as the head of the School. She had taught there her- Enrollment was always a critical problem. The boarding department was financially the strongest branch of the School. St. Helens Hall had always been a boarding school, one of the few still available in the Pacific Northwest. Parents with girls from remote locations all over the West sought it out. The Upper School was hard put to find space for those wanting to enroll. There was more room for day students, however, and the prob­ lem was that of making sure that the School only admitted students who were qualified. This Mrs. Fariss did with rigorous protection of the School’s academic standards. She was very good at suggesting positive alternatives to par­ ents whose children did not meet the School’s requirements. As Mary and I became more familiar with the operation of the School, we realized it was worth all of the support we could give it. The rising financial pressure had resulted in many neglected aspects of the physical plant. The front entrance area of the School had become overgrown and unsightly. The rose gar­ den had disappeared amid tall grass, bushes and overgrown trees. ▲ Maty and Carl Reynolds (left and middle) in the 1950s. 27 �1 ■ 2 5 E A R o S F L O Y A L T ■ J ) -! i Another crisis that came up was of a different nature. Just as the School was about to begin a new academic year, Miss McKirdie, the Upper School’s acclaimed history teacher, became seriously ill and had to take the entire year off. Mrs. Fariss was in a real dilemma about how to replace her, and the upshot was that my father and I undertook to teach her class­ es. I was at that time teaching an introductory course in the history of Western Art and Architecture at Portland State College, and it was not hard for me to take over the Ancient and Medieval history course. My father, as an experienced lec­ turer in sociology, took over the modern European History course. We simply had to keep ahead of the students’ assign­ ments, and managed to do so! My father, a pro­ fessor of sociology at Stanford University, had recently retired and returned to Portland where he had grown up. He and I undertook to clean up the School’s front entrance. We felled a number of trees, while Mary stood in the street to stop any traffic as one of the larger ones came down (I do ▲ Carl and hisfather Charles Reynolds, not remember that who was also a faculty member at the we had any permit School, clean up thefront entrance of to do what we SHH with helpfrom Rebecca (Class of were doing!). We 1967 SHH) and Chuck (Class of '70 cleaned out up the BDH). area and had George Otten, a landscape architect working on our own property, do some planting around the entrance leading up from the street to the front entrance door. That fall, the traditional Old Girl-New Girl Tea was held in the greatly improved front yard of the School. All of these experiences gave Mary and me an intimate knowledge of the School—its history, traditions, finances and workings. Above all, it gave us a great respect for Mrs. Fariss and her staff and the high quality of the teachers she had assembled. There is a spirit about a school of this kind that makes one feel that there are few things more worthwhile that one can support. That is why we were ready to face a new and more grave threat to the future of the School in 1964, when we learned that a freeway was being planned to run directly through the property we had worked so hard to improve. That, however, is another story. Across 13th Street from the main buildings, the Pre-School was relocating to the lower part of the old Multnomah Athletic Club wooden building, the upper part of which was being torn down. Parent work parties were called for, and Mary and I joined many others in cleaning, painting, and laying tile on the floors. Look for the rest of the Reynolds’ story in the spring edition of The OES Belltower! Much esprit de corps was generated by those work parties. A number of parents were able to donate materials, or ask others to do so. Elizabeth Wright was the head of the Pre­ School at that time, and we built a children’s tree house in her honor. Another needed item, a covered play area for Lower School children, was created at this time. A more threatening matter of this era of rejuvenation was the need to meet the requirements of the fire marshal, who was threatening to close the School. By this time Mary was a member of the Board of Trustees, so we knew the full story of the School’s financial distress, and how real the threat of being closed actually was. It was unthinkable that the School be closed, and the neces­ sary funds to prevent this from happening were raised. In fact, a number of fundraising activities were launched by the Board and a group of active and committed parents. One was an annual hobby and antique show, which eventually evolved into the Country Fair. ▲ Mary and Carl Reynolds with their son Chuck Reynolds ‘70 BDH, in the 1990s.

We achieved a record-breaking OES Fund. We con­ cluded the best auction in the School’s history’, in support of our faculty and staff. We began securing funds to make the visionary dreams of the Master Plan come alive. Our enrollment of just under 700 stu­ & dents met our strategic goals for the year. We have poured more atten­ tion into our physical plant. And we have continued growing our endow­ ment and other reserves to provide protection for the future. I add my' admiration and thanks to Board President Elisabeth Lyon’s tributes to our superb volunteers, with whom we have flourished.

Dear Friends, ow that the 124th year of Oregon Episcopal School has ended, and we have begun the commemorative 125th year, I want to share with you the state of our School and the work of some individuals who have helped to make it such a strong institution. The Mustard Seed provides the opportunity to not only report to you but also to say thank you. The successes of the last year are due to ihe efforts and the generosity of many people. s I Financially OES is in excellent health. In the past year all external debt has been eliminated, the endowment has increased and the budget has been well managed. Prudent planning has permitted increases in the maintenance account and monies for the purchase and expanded use of computers. Interest in attending OES is strong. Our classes and our “wait pools” at all grade levels are filled, and by tal­ ented young people. After thought­ ful discussion, the Board decided to continue the enrollment at the cur­ rent level and not expand the num­ ber of classes or the class size. This decision was made based on the nature of our programs and the desire to maintain their excellence. During the past year, the Board approved a new [Master Plan for the OES campus. This outlines the physi­ cal requirements of our School, which are needed to insure our excellence into the 21st century. Subsequently, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, chaired by Dale Stewart, retained architects who prepared schematic designs for a new Middle School and a substan­ tially renovated Upper School. These plans are based on the programmatic needs of each division and were ▲ Board President Elisabeth L. Lyon and her son, OESfifth grader Baker, on Opening Day 1994. developed in conjunction with the faculty. Implementation of the new Master Plan is the largest undertak­ ing by OES, since our School moved to the current campus in 1964! The participation of volunteers over the past year was exceptional. Anne Thanhouser and the Volunteers’ Common Link organized many hours of volunteer commitment in all three divisions of the School. Wendy Hamilton and the creative Auction Committee raised a record­ setting $117,000! And we all will long remember that evening and the fun of being “Wild Things!” With the talented leadership of Pat Karamanos, the 1993-94 OES Fund reached a new high and exceeded $331,000! Sean Kuni ‘81 and the Alumni Association planned numer­ ous events, which brought even more alumni in touch with current life of the School. OES now has a school store, the inspiration and work of parents led by Darlene Kaempf. And thanks to the 125th Anniversary Committee, co-chaired by Sheryl Acheson and Meridel 31 To our faculty I want to express my great appreciation. They are the heart of our School. Many of the suc­ cesses of the past year are due to the commitment, work and leadership of both our faculty and our administra­ tion. I want to thank our Head, Peter Stevens, both for his management of ongoing operations and his vision and planning for our School’s future. His three able division heads: Anne Cass, Charyl Cathey and Harvey Zendt, in addition to the Director of Development, Sue Nicol, and Director of Admissions, Louisa Zendt. have worked tirelessly. My colleagues on the Board of Trustees have been diligent and thoughtful participants in the discus­ sion and conclusion of numerous issues this past year. In particular, I want to express my appreciation to the Executive Committee. The Right Rev. Robert L. Ladehoff, Sean Gilronan, Chris Kitchel, Jack Spring and Paul Schlesinger have provided great wisdom. This past year the Drinkward Award, which acknowledges outstanding leader­ ship. was given to trustee Peter Bechen. He has served the Board in many capacities including Treasurer and Chair of the OES Pacific Rim Council. And to you, the friends of Oregon Episcopal School, I want to say a very' special thank you.

In 1993, OES parents Mr. Chai and Mrs. Ing Sophonpanich graciously hosted the sec­ ond gathering in Bangkok, Thailand. Seoul Korea was the site of the 1994 meeting convened in May by OES Trustee and Pacific Rim Council Chair, Peter Bechen, and generously hosted by Dr. Jae Kyu and Mrs. Sun Park. As President of Kyungnam University in Masan, Korea and the Far Eastern Studies Institute in Seoul, Dr. Park arranged Council discussions in an international scholarly environment that was delightfully stimulating. The purpose of the Council is to offer advice on the long term goals of the School and its role as a E5 Pacific Rim institution. This year, Peter Bechen and Board President Elisabeth Lyon presented the OES Master Plan, which details the siting of new and renovated facili­ ties on the OES campus into the 21st century. Hamilton Gregg, former Director of the OES board­ ing program, then dis­ cussed “a day in the life of a boarding student.” Boarding is of particu­ lar interest to the Council because a number of their own children are current or recently-graduated OES students, and have come to OES from across the USA and around the world. With a growing awareness of global citi­ zenship, the Council views the importance of the boarding component in the implementation of the School’s long range plans. Upon his return to Portland.

The program focuses specifically on students who have had limited educational opportunities. This year, classes began in June with a diverse group of 70 middle school students from 13 Portland public schools and 2 Catholic schools. A talented facul­ ty’ of 26 high school and college students served as teachers and role models.

The volume of requests numbs our senses. Our immediate impulse is to hang up or throw it away. Yer there are causes or organizations which tug at our con­ sciences, those we really embrace and want to sup­ port. However, die con­ stant throb of unwanted requests creates negative & conditioning. We just say “no!” or think “that’s impossible!” without really examining the possibilities. In truth, there are many methods of making chari­ table gifts, both large and small. With a little coach­ ing on the menu of options, the seemingly impossible can be done. I Writing a check is only one method of making a charitable gift. While sim­ ple, it is not necessarily the proper standard by which affordability should be measured if you really want to make a larger gift. The picture has to be more complete. “Non-cash” L o ▲ D. Charles Mauritz is an attorney practicing with Davis Wright Tremayne, and is thefather of Gwyn Mauritz Walker 87and Britta Mauritz 94 5i sold because of the income tax consequences or because of the reduc­ tion or loss of income it produces. Charitable gifts can unlock this dormant investment and income potential without adverse consequences. In fact, income and financial secu­ rity can be greatly enhanced by these efforts while creating a sizeable benefit for a charitable cause at the same time. One of the devices com­ monly used to take advan­ tage of hidden financial capacity is the Charitable Remainder Trust. It is based on a veiy simple premise: you transfer property to a trust, retain­ ing an income interest for a specific term, and your charity receives the bal­ ance of assets when the term ends. The tax laws grant a very favorable sta­ tus to these arrangements, and many first reactions are “it’s too good to be true." On the contrary, these arrangements have been around for a long time. They have long ago passed out of the “gim­ mick” category and into the main stream of estate and financial planning. assets such as securities, real estate, works of art, etc. must be included as well as income sources and needs. With these facts available, then your real financial capacity can be measured and the likely sources for making a gift can be identified. Most larger charitable gifts from individuals are not made in cash. The tax costs and resource reduc­ tion may be simply too high to make it worth­ while. Instead, many peo­ ple resort to various other devices which make use of their “hidden" financial capacity. This capacity is found in their appreciated stock or real estate which they believe should not be The Charitable Remainder Trust begins just like all 56 other charitable contribu­ tions. You first make a transfer of assets. In this case, the transfer is to a trust. The trust recites all of the terms and condi­ tions of the arrangement. Il names the beneficiaries and the trustees and defines the relationships of the parties. Many of these terms are required by the tax laws in order to sub­ stantiate the charitable nature of the trust, and your entitlement to the charitable deduction. The amount of the deduc­ tion depends on the num­ ber of variables you estab­ lish in the trust when the transfer is made. The initial variable is the income interest you retain. You must first decide how much income you want and how often it is to be paid. The income rate is expressed as an annual percentage of the value of the trust assets, i.e. 5%, 9%, etc. Income rates you received from the assets prior to transfer are irrele­ vant. You can set the new annual rate arbitrarily based on your expected needs. The lowest allow­ able rate is 5%, but there is no maximum rate. You can receive the income month- & Tl �l ly, quarterly, semiquarterly or annually. Generally, the charitable reduction goes down as the retained income rate and payment frequency go up. s When the income rate and payment frequency are established, you must then decide who will receive this income. The income payments can be retained for either a fixed number of years or for one or more lifetimes. For instance, you may decide to retain the income payments for a fixed period of 20 years. You may then designate yourself and several suc­ cessive, alternate beneficia­ ries to receive it during that term, depending on who is alive at any given time. Another option is to retain the income pay­ ments for your entire life­ time. You can also extend the term to include the lifetime of your spouse or of a child or children. Again, the charitable deduction decreases as the length of the retained income term increases (either expressed as a fixed number of years or through the duration of one or more lifetimes). rr d\' m n T> 9 1 v 1 The last significant variable is the form in which the income payments are determined. You may elect to fix the amount you receive when the initial transfer is made. The same payment amount will then be paid to you throughout the term of the trust. This is an “annuity” trust. The income payment is not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the trust fund. The second for­ mat is a variable payment amount. The same income percentage rate is used throughout the term, but the assets of the trust are re-valued at the beginning of each year and the rate applied to the new value. Thus the payment amount will fluctuate with the mar­ ket and value of the trust assets. This is a “uni-trust.” Generally, the deduction is higher for an annuity trust than a uni-trust. S charitable deduction. They are not necessarily the source of the income inter­ est you retain. Most often, the assets you transfer to the trust are sold. The pro­ ceeds are then reinvested more appropriately to pro­ duce the income payments to you. The sale may cre­ ate a gain, but there is not tax because the law attrib­ utes the gain to the “taxexempt” charitable benefi­ ciary, not to you. Thus a principal motivation for creating a Charitable Remainder Trust is to com­ pletely escape the tax cost of changing your investments. The trust is the key to a tax-free con­ version of low or no income assets into higher income assets or of a sin­ gle asset into a diversified portfolio of assets. The second key to release dormant investment and income potential is the charitable deduction itself. The gain on the sale of the assets you transfer to the trust is not taxable, but the income interest you retain is taxable as you receive it over the term of the trust. The charitable deduction is used to offset the tax con­ sequences of these income payments. It can also offset When these variables are established, the charitable deduction can be calculat­ ed. This deduction is one of the twin keys the Charitable Remainder Trust utilizes to release dormant investment and income potential. The assets you transfer to the trust are only used to measure the other income sources you have, too, if the deduction is large enough. The chari­ table deduction thus cre­ ates tax-free income where none existed before. The amount of the deduc­ tion is calculated using actuarial tables furnished by the IRS. As noted above, the deduction amount is directly affected by the characteristics you choose for the retained income interest. Sometimes, the deduction amount is the principal focus in selecting these variables, whereas other situations attribute less sig­ nificance to the deduction and concentrate on maxi­ mizing personal income security. In either case, the amount of charitable deduction which may be used to offset your taxable income is limited to the percentage of your “adjust­ ed gross income.” Most commonly, this limit is 20% of adjusted gross income. It is not unusual for the total deduction to exceed this limit. In that case, the tax law allows you to “carry forward” the excess deduction and apply it against your tax- a T J 57 �i <T Z J\r J\' ‘E T) 9 iv i j\'cj ■ I able income in the next five years. For example, if your total charitable deduction is $10,000 and 20% of your adjusted gross income is $4,000, then you can only use S4,000 of the deduction this year, but the remaining S6,000 of the deduction is still avail­ able for use in the next succeeding five years to offset taxable income with­ in the 20% limitation. The financial aspects of the Charitable Remainder Trust reflect your choices in the variables affecting the income interest you retain. Once fixed, these issues are rarely confront­ ed again. On the other y hand, the Charitable Remainder Trust is not something you sign and forget. It is, after all, still a trust. It must have a trustee to supervise and execute its affairs. There are many applicable rules and regulations governing the trust administration, but substantial flexibility also exists. Many people turn to their professional advisors to act as trustees, such as banks, accountants and attorneys. Some chari­ table organizations will even act as trustees of trusts for which they are I at least partially the even­ tual beneficiary. Com­ munity foundations (i.e., die Oregon Community Foundation) make it their business to act as trustees and fund managers for these trusts. Within certain special limitations in place, you can act as your own trustee, too. created with specific bene­ ficiaries in mind, but cir­ cumstances change. A Charitable Remainder Trust is by its very nature a long term plan. In response to inevitable change, the tax laws permit you to retain the right to change the charitable beneficiary if you choose. So long as all the beneficiaries at all times are qualified charita­ ble institutions, you can make as many changes as you wish. Only the list in effect at the conclusion of the trust term determines which charities actually receive the remaining trust assets. The duties of the trustee are not insignificant. They include the proper invest­ ment of the funds and the payment of the income interest to you. Annual tax returns and information reports must be prepared and filed. The fees and costs of the trustee or financial management ser­ vices may be an issue to some people, and each of the alternatives will pre­ sent different services and efficiencies. The final choice is important since the long term performance of the trust directly affects the ultimate benefit received by the charity. Prudence and experience are key elements in the selection criteria. The income interest char­ acteristics and manage­ ment choices cover quite a broad spectrum of variables. Only one attribute is ironclad from the inception of the trust. A Charitable Remainder Trust is irrevocable. This means the arrangement is permanent until its course is fully completed. The characteristics of the income interest cannot be changed. The distribution of the balance of the assets to charities at the conclu­ sion of the trust term can­ not be changed. Areas of flexibility do exist, but sec­ ond thoughts after the trust is in place cannot alter the The last variable is proba­ bly the one that truly pro­ vides the impetus for the whole arrangement. That is the identity of the chari­ table beneficiary or benefi­ ciaries. Many trusts are 58 trust or the ultimate fulfill­ ment of its purpose. Many details are involved in the decision to pursue a larger charitable gift. The first rule is the most obvi­ ous, but also the most dif­ ficult: lake off the blinders. They only confine your vision of the available resources for a gift. The second rule is equally compelling: consult com­ petent professionals. They are the only ones who can give you a complete expla­ nation of all the options open to you and the many variables affecting each one. No description of planned charitable giving alternatives is complete without a thorough review of a Charitable Remainder Trust. It can provide the means to make a substan­ tial charitable gift. In fact, it can actually increase your income and strength­ en your portfolio by diver­ sifying your investments. Happily, the tax laws promote rather than dis­ courage these positive results, and the investment transition is tax-free. With these kinds of benefits potentially available, the issue is not whether to do it, rather how you can afford not to do it! a 1 �AUTUMN 19 9 4 THE CLASS OF 1994 ▲ Shannon Hiller-Webb, Tracy Sheetz and Wendy Siemens gather for a photograph before processing into Trinity for the 1994 commencement.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL For 125 years, thousands of individuals have been touched by their educational experiences at St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, and Oregon Episcopal School. Not only stu­ dents, but parents, teachers, staff, alumni, grandparents, and friends have grown and been nurtured within the School’s inclusive community. Mr. Jong-Hyon Chey, chair­ man of the Sunkyong Group, one of the five largest conglom­ erates in Korea, recently stated in reference to the future direc­ tion of his own business: “We are not awaiting the 21st centu­ ry, we intend to shape it.” How perfectly applicable this state­ ment is to the implementation process of the OES Long Range Plan for the 21st Century, which is appropriately called OES/21. The OES Statement of Purpose articulates both the School that we are and the School we are becoming, and OES/21 details the essence of what we seek to accomplish to shape our institution for the 21st century. Like Mr. Chey, the OES Board of Trustees realizes the prudency of its charge for long-range planning and articulated goals. Wise and careful trustee management during the past decade has allowed the School to achieve financial solidity with no external debt, a well-man­ aged plant with provisions for deferred maintenance, and an enrollment that is both the largest in the School's history (with plentiful wait pools in each division) and the earlierthan-expected realization of our student population goal outlined in OES/21. Our moment is al hand. We have implemented many of the components of the Long Range Plan, ranging from a growing endowment for faculty profes­ sional growth and development to technology components that 60 include laptop computers for each third, fourth, and fifth grader, and laptop PC’s for all sixth graders beginning in the fall of 1995. We are now ready to launch the most energetic campus facil­ ities upgrade ever seen in the 125-year-history of the School. The Trustees and Middle School faculty have worked together with the OES Design Review Committee over the past year to develop a facility that meets the programmatic requirements of the Middle School. The proposed new Middle School building will secure an academically excellent environ­ ment for all our current students as well as the thousands of stu­ dents who follow them into the 21st century. We have a superb Middle School program that is a model of what a truly excellent Middle School should be, and it is racing towards the 21st centu­ ry! All that is missing is the building that will fulfill the space and programmatic needs of the children who learn within its walls. We need you to help us build it! �T S AUTUMN 19 9 4 E LEGEND 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 17 Reception Office Faculty Lounge Conference Middle School Head Work Area Laboratory PrepJStorage Counseling Classroom Drama School Nurse Commons The proposed main level of the new Middle ScbooL 16 I 17 V\ 2 15 Vv 14 13 \ 10 LEGEND io 10 2 4 10 13 14 15 10 n Fl 10 Office Conference Classroom Projects Computer Lab Publishing Center 16 Library 17 Commons OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The proposed upper level of the new Middle ScbooL 61 �AUTUMN 19 9 4 I had the opportunity to attend the 1944 St. Helens Hall and SHH Junior College class luncheon.

I feel very lucky beginning my term as President of the Alumni Association during such an exciting time. I hope you have the opportunity to attend some of the events scheduled throughout the year. Many volunteers and dedicated staff have worked long hours developing them. Summer is always a busy time at the School and this past summer was no exception. The Alumni Association welcomed its newest members at the Senior Reception held on June 9. The Class of 1994 added 47 members to our ranks, which total approxi­ mately 1,800. At the reception I was pleased to introduce Jo-Anne Landry as the 1994 Class Agent. Jo-Anne, who is studying in England this fall, will act as liason between the School and her classmates. I Class reunions are held each June and this year we celebrated the classes ending in “4” and “9”. ■ I was touched by the stories about World War II, in particular D-Day, which occurred close to their grad­ uation. One alumna remembers how calmly Bishop Dagwell announced the invasion and how he allayed their fears. Another classmate told of her fiancee who lost his life landing off Holland that same summer. Most recollections, however, were met with laughter and smiles. I hope in another 30 years my 50th class reunion is just as memorable. My graduating class of 1974 cele­ brated its 20th reunion this past summer. Eighteen out of 36 class­ mates were able to attend at least one event. Brent Erensel and Max Miller Jr. deserve much thanks for organizing the gathering. Our reunion was that much more joyful with the recent news that our classmates, Tanja Vaselijevic Horvat, was granted entry to the United States. Tanja, a citizen of Saravejo, had been living in Germany with her daughter Ivana since escaping the war that has destroyed her homeland. OES offered Tanja, who is a trained doctor, the position of laboratory assistant in the science depart­ ment. Without a job, Tanja and Ivana would not have been able to enter the United States. The OES Board of Directors, Headmaster Peter W. Stevens, the Development Office, the Rosenlund family, Max Miller Jr., Autumn Alexander-Skeen, John Wysham, Jenny Holden and others are to be thanked for their efforts concerning Tanja. Their concern, humanitarianism and actions exemplify the spirit of OES. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 62 This fall and winter also promise to be busy. Many activities are scheduled to celebrate the 125th. An example is the Alumni Lecture Series, which runs throughout the school year in conjunction with the programs of the OES Parent Education Committee. Guest speakers from our alumni ranks are scheduled to speak on a variety of topics. The Alumni Assocation extends a special invitation to all alumni, parents and friends of OES to attend the 1994 Founders Day Anniversary Gala. This year we honor Betsy Johnson, Class of 1969, with the Distinguished Alumni Award named in honor of the founder of St. Helens Hall in 1869, Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris. The award will be present­ ed during the Founders’ Day Gala. Chet Orloff, Executive Director of the Oregon Historical Society will be our guest speaker and Gerry Frank will be our Master of Ceremonies. It promises to be an entertaining evening. Another anniversary event will be the appearance of actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liv Ullmann, on December 8. Ms. Ullmann will speak on “Making the World A Better Place for Our Children,” a very appropriate topic for the OES community. I am excited about this anniversary and I hope you are too! As always, your ideas and comments about how the Alumni Association can best serve the alumni community are welcome. �I AUTUMN 19 9 4 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 63 �V 77 I N S I D E Opening Day Kicks Off the 125th!.............. • I .4 A HISTORICAL VIEW OF OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Academics and "Educators ........... ..8 Spiritual GTraditions .......................... 12 ▲ The entire student body, faculty, and staff of St. Helens Hall gather infront of the School in 1890, the last year spent at the original site where Portland's City Hall now stands.

A A banner-toting airplane was just one of the many surprises during the Opening Day festivities. Greeted by perfect weather, over 700 students returned to campus with their parents on September 7, 1994, to kick off the 125th Anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School. The School’s long history in Portland was honored on this occasion with the presence of SHH, BDH and OES alumni and special guests, including the Royal Rosarians, who planted the OES 125th Anniversary rose in honor of the occasion. Over 1,000 brass bells were rung in succession by students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff, and a banner-toting airplane proclaimed the anniversary celebration. The 125th Anniversary Song was sung by all, and the fifth grade carried out their traditional bell ringing. This year, there were 125 rings of the bell that has followed the School since its founding in 1869. A reception for alumni and special guests followed in the 125th Commemorative Rose Garden, where the new School rose has been planted. In keeping with the momentous nature of this special year, this fall edition of The OES Belltower is devoted to the memories of our alumni. Reflected in the photos, quoted anecdotes, and excerpts from School publications is the spirit of Oregon Episcopal School which has endured throughout the past 125 years. 3 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 19 9 4 Opening Day Kicks Off The 125th! 2k OES dads wear cool ties!

Cynthia joined the staff of the School in 1965, when it was still St. Helens Hall for girls. Initially a history, English, and religion teacher for sophomores and juniors, Cynthia filled her current post of college counselor in 1977, and has turned that program into a curriculum staple for OES juniors and seniors. The college counseling pro­ gram includes a handbook for OES students and their parents, which Cynthia wrote, and period­ ic informational meetings, includ­ ing visits from college admissions officers. Cynthia herself routinely visits colleges and attends National Association of College Admission Counselors and College Board meetings. During Winterim, she holds a one week AUTUMN 19 9 4 introductory program for juniors, called College Decisions, and throughout the academic year there is intensive, one-on-one advising for Seniors before, dur­ ing and after the college applica­ tion process. In an interview with The OES Belltower in its Autumn, 1992 issue, Cynthia reflected on the ways in which the School had changed—and remained the same—over the past 25 years since she joined the staff: OES has become a much more informal place. When Mrs. Fariss walked through the Great Hall 25 years ago, everyone stood up...Uniform regulations were rigid. And 25 years ago, no one would have dreamed of calling me Cynthia. Some of the best things have remained constant. This School has always had a sense of com­ munity—almost like a family. OES also has a love of—almost celebrates—the individual... And, I guess finally, we have a respect for learning. It’s one of our keystones. We are able to inculcate a love of learning. Today, Cynthia emphasizes that, like OES, her job as college counselor has evolved. ▲ Cynthia Doran counsels an earnest member of the senior class. “The emphasis at OES has always been on academic suc­ cess, and hand-in-hand with that emphasis is the desire for our stu­ dents to go to what is thought of as a ‘great college’,” Cynthia says. “But I also think that students today understand more than ever that they need to find a good match. They’re looking for a col­ lege experience that is right for them as individuals.” Sister Agatha Louise, the principal, was my favorite teacher. She was so firm, but so kind. The strict regimentation was only a part of the total experience, but helped me realize the importance of self-discipline. The Sisters were wonderful!

We belong in a place that remembers those who gave it life. OES is such a place. In the seven years I have been a part of OES I have never seen this school—this community— look to the future without first taking courage and wisdom from its past. Whether on the playing field, in the classroom, in a faculty or board meeting or in the dorm, there is the constant question that underlies every decision, and the life of this com­ munity: "Does what we are doing today honor those who came before us?” I am pleased to say that it does. I have never heard anyone say “OES used to be such a good school." Sure, the School has changed—it’s designed to. Life is supposed to go on. But through the years and all the changes, students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff have continued a tradition of excel­ lence that goes back 125 years. Today we honor 19 people who have lived that tradition and passed it on to us. I teach in the Middle School and...Mary Reynolds is among those we remember today. Her grand­ daughter, Margaret Reynolds, just received the Faculty Award for outstanding scholarship and positive contributions to the OES community. The tradition goes on. The lights of our past show the way for our future. —Homily delivered by Middle School Chaplain Mike Devenney, Reunion Weekend Chapel Service, 1994 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 13 �■ xtracurricular Activities &> Antics B4 iJFlJi 141^1^1^11414141^ 141414141J1 >41414 I na 141^1:^ 5 5 51 5 5 51 51 51 I I h] 51 51 5 51 5J 51 51 51 51 51 5 51 ______ 141414141414x414141^ 141414 ▲ St. Helens Hall girls visit Battery Russell on a class trip to the Oregon Coast, 1918. 1^7141 1 >-=1 j4]41414 jJT1414 @1 An outstanding “faux pas” mem­ ory was during a Voice and Diction class!

Appropriately, the Everglade is now owned by an alumna of St. Helens Hall, Shirley Fulton Coan ‘32, who moved there with her husband and three children in the 1960s. The house remains much the same today as it was in the ‘30’s. In 1950, The Rev. Lansing Kempton purchased Everglade from the Sisters who directed St. Helens Hall, bur made only minor changes to rhe house. Shirley and her husband Ralph have remodeled the house over the years since they bought it, but only under the original roofline. The dormitory for the girls from St. Helens Hall and the Junior College is now the mas­ ter bedroom, and the many Everglade, then and now. small bathrooms (which “never worked,” Shirley laughs) are now a galley kitchen.

Participation, Top Facilities and Fun: A Winning Combination ■ n the past twenty years since I Athletics Director Kris Van OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Hatcher ‘70 first joined the staff at Oregon Episcopal School, its sports program has changed a great deal. “We’ve always had strong teams,” Kris emphasizes, “but in the past ten years the sports pro­ gram has really gotten stronger." Over the past five years, more than 80 OES athletes have received individual recognition including All-League and All­ State honors. The girls soccer team won the State Champion­ ship in 1993, and the boys track team was the District Champion in 1994. OES fencers have been the State Champions every year since 1988, and both the girls’ and boys’ tennis teams have won the State Championship for the past two years, with the girls’ team taking the singles champi­ onship and the boys’ winning the doubles championship for the last two years. The success, Kris says, can be partly attributed to a variety of facility changes at the School. The new Yanagitani track, donat­ ed by OES parents Kazunori and Tei Yanagitani in 1988, the addi­ tion of SPARC during the same year, and the improvements to the School’s three outdoor soc­ cer fields have given the sports program an extra edge, in both practice and competition. Since Kris became the head of the program 10 years ago, he has also made a real effort to create a philosophy among his staff which reflects the belief that success in athletics is only part of the equa­ tion. Participation and fun, he says, are just as important. He also emphasizes that a great deal of the success of the OES athlet­ ic program can be attributed to a staff that follows through on this 16 philosophy and brings it out in the students who participate. The “no cut policy” means that as long as students have the desire to play, they can be mem­ bers of a team and will play on a regular basis, regardless of their level of achievement. OES has had 80% participation over the past ten years, despite the chal­ lenge of balancing schoolwork and sports. “It’s got to be difficult," Kris acknowledges, “But I really believe that it makes the kids more organized overall, and gives them more energy.” Another tribute to the success of the athletic program at OES came when four of its coaches— Kris, Coleen Conkey, Mike Devenney and Rich Sherwood— were named Coach of the Year on either the District or State Level during the 1993-’94 school year. “The bottom line is that OES is blessed with talented kids who are also really intelligent,” Kris says. “Kids can get an excellent education at OES, as well as a strong athletic program, where they’ll play more and get more individual attention than at other schools." �AUTUMN 19 9 4 ▲ The basketball team of 1933, tvbicb was undefeatedfor six years.

Fall 1994 signalled the beginning i entire OES community. For this issue of The OES Belltower, Carl Reynolds has written a story of the beginnings of their family's involvement with the School. The “second chapter" willfollow in the spring edition of the magazine. of the 125th anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School Throughout the past cen­ tury and a quarter, the loyally of the School's former students, faculty, staff, par­ ents and extendedfamilies has remained true, as a tribute to the strength of its acade­ mics and to the spirit within its walls. When my youngest daughter, Kathy, was graduated from the OES Upper School in 1971, my wife Mary and I calculated that our four children had been involved in over 50 years of education at St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School! How did this happen, and what brought about such loyalty? One of thefinest examples of this allegience has been displayed over the past five decades by the Reynoldsfamily. Allfour children of Carl and Mary Reynolds were enrolled in and graduatedfrom the School during the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Carl Reynolds and his father were both faculty members at St. Helens Hall Now, a new generation of Reynolds are attending Oregon Episcopal School Lower and Middle School students Mackenzie and Margaret Reynolds are the children of Chuck Reynolds ‘70BDH and his wife, Chris.

Sadly, Mary Reynolds passed away on April 13, 1994, and will be missed by the 26 I will have to start out by saying that it was my wife Mary who got me involved. It was she who was search­ ing for a pre-school for our second oldest daughter, Becky, and discov­ ered the St. Helens Hall pre-school on the old downtown campus at 13th and Hall Street. At this time our oldest daughter, Lydia, was attending a pub­ lic school on the East side of Portland, and Mary had joined their PTA. Mary became aware that she was having problems in her class. We were about to move to the West side of town, and decided to try our daughter out in the 4th grade at St. Helens Hall. �1 2 5 Y ▲ Kathy Reynolds '77 E A R S o F ▲ Margaret Reynolds.

After the Junior College was closed in 1947 (which she deeply regretted), there was a period of uncertain leadership, until Mrs. Fariss was brought back to take charge of St. Helens Hall in 1954. There, her teacher noticed at once that Lydia seemed to have trouble seeing. She would come to the front of the room to sharpen a pencil, in order to see what was on the blackboard. The teacher suggested that we have her eyes examined, and we were shocked to find that she couldn’t read the big E on the eye chart! She had the challenging task of maintaining the School’s high academic standards, small classes, and high moral and spiri­ tual reputation with a most inadequate budget. Mrs. Fariss, by this time, had excellent connections with the academic world, and a talent for finding dedicated and highly qualified teachers who were willing or able to teach for embarrassingly low salaries. This was possible, of course, because the teaching conditions were so favorable, but it was not a healthy situa­ tion, and one of which Mrs. Fariss was acutely aware. With proper glasses, the whole world became clearer for Lydia. The value of the small classes, personal attention and very caring teachers was dramatically evident to us. We soon found that this was characteristic of the School. Mary quickly became an active parent, attending meetings, joining work parties and learning about the School. One of the things we learned early on was that the School was in a very precarious financial condition. When Mary and I became involved in 1953, Gertrude Fariss had been asked to take over as the head of the School. She had taught there her- Enrollment was always a critical problem. The boarding department was financially the strongest branch of the School. St. Helens Hall had always been a boarding school, one of the few still available in the Pacific Northwest. Parents with girls from remote locations all over the West sought it out. The Upper School was hard put to find space for those wanting to enroll. There was more room for day students, however, and the prob­ lem was that of making sure that the School only admitted students who were qualified. This Mrs. Fariss did with rigorous protection of the School’s academic standards. She was very good at suggesting positive alternatives to par­ ents whose children did not meet the School’s requirements. As Mary and I became more familiar with the operation of the School, we realized it was worth all of the support we could give it. The rising financial pressure had resulted in many neglected aspects of the physical plant. The front entrance area of the School had become overgrown and unsightly. The rose gar­ den had disappeared amid tall grass, bushes and overgrown trees. ▲ Maty and Carl Reynolds (left and middle) in the 1950s. 27 �1 ■ 2 5 E A R o S F L O Y A L T ■ J ) -! i Another crisis that came up was of a different nature. Just as the School was about to begin a new academic year, Miss McKirdie, the Upper School’s acclaimed history teacher, became seriously ill and had to take the entire year off. Mrs. Fariss was in a real dilemma about how to replace her, and the upshot was that my father and I undertook to teach her class­ es. I was at that time teaching an introductory course in the history of Western Art and Architecture at Portland State College, and it was not hard for me to take over the Ancient and Medieval history course. My father, as an experienced lec­ turer in sociology, took over the modern European History course. We simply had to keep ahead of the students’ assign­ ments, and managed to do so! My father, a pro­ fessor of sociology at Stanford University, had recently retired and returned to Portland where he had grown up. He and I undertook to clean up the School’s front entrance. We felled a number of trees, while Mary stood in the street to stop any traffic as one of the larger ones came down (I do ▲ Carl and hisfather Charles Reynolds, not remember that who was also a faculty member at the we had any permit School, clean up thefront entrance of to do what we SHH with helpfrom Rebecca (Class of were doing!).

That fall, the traditional Old Girl-New Girl Tea was held in the greatly improved front yard of the School. All of these experiences gave Mary and me an intimate knowledge of the School—its history, traditions, finances and workings. Above all, it gave us a great respect for Mrs. Fariss and her staff and the high quality of the teachers she had assembled. There is a spirit about a school of this kind that makes one feel that there are few things more worthwhile that one can support. That is why we were ready to face a new and more grave threat to the future of the School in 1964, when we learned that a freeway was being planned to run directly through the property we had worked so hard to improve. That, however, is another story. Across 13th Street from the main buildings, the Pre-School was relocating to the lower part of the old Multnomah Athletic Club wooden building, the upper part of which was being torn down. Parent work parties were called for, and Mary and I joined many others in cleaning, painting, and laying tile on the floors. Look for the rest of the Reynolds’ story in the spring edition of The OES Belltower! Much esprit de corps was generated by those work parties. A number of parents were able to donate materials, or ask others to do so. Elizabeth Wright was the head of the Pre­ School at that time, and we built a children’s tree house in her honor. Another needed item, a covered play area for Lower School children, was created at this time. A more threatening matter of this era of rejuvenation was the need to meet the requirements of the fire marshal, who was threatening to close the School. By this time Mary was a member of the Board of Trustees, so we knew the full story of the School’s financial distress, and how real the threat of being closed actually was. It was unthinkable that the School be closed, and the neces­ sary funds to prevent this from happening were raised. In fact, a number of fundraising activities were launched by the Board and a group of active and committed parents. One was an annual hobby and antique show, which eventually evolved into the Country Fair. ▲ Mary and Carl Reynolds with their son Chuck Reynolds ‘70 BDH, in the 1990s.

In these pages, we bear witness to the ser­ vice and generosity of friends during 1993-94, squarely in the tradition that is a hallmark of our years. •i! i 1993-94 was a year of extraordinary' faith in and support for Oregon Episcopal School. We achieved a record-breaking OES Fund. We con­ cluded the best auction in the School’s history’, in support of our faculty and staff. We began securing funds to make the visionary dreams of the Master Plan come alive. Our enrollment of just under 700 stu­ & dents met our strategic goals for the year. We have poured more atten­ tion into our physical plant. And we have continued growing our endow­ ment and other reserves to provide protection for the future. I add my' admiration and thanks to Board President Elisabeth Lyon’s tributes to our superb volunteers, with whom we have flourished. And I particularly applaud our faculty, who are, as Elisabeth boasts, the heart of our School. The quality of their lives at OES and their dedication to children exemplify' our 125-year tradition of teaching and learning. The Rt. Rev. Robert L. Ladehoff, Chairman Elisabeth Lyon, President Christine Kitchel, Vice President Jack Spring, Treasurer Paul Schlesinger, Secretary ▲ Peter Stevens, Headmaster We are ever mindful of your care, thoughts, and support.

Dear Friends, ow that the 124th year of Oregon Episcopal School has ended, and we have begun the commemorative 125th year, I want to share with you the state of our School and the work of some individuals who have helped to make it such a strong institution. The Mustard Seed provides the opportunity to not only report to you but also to say thank you. The successes of the last year are due to ihe efforts and the generosity of many people. s I Financially OES is in excellent health. In the past year all external debt has been eliminated, the endowment has increased and the budget has been well managed. Prudent planning has permitted increases in the maintenance account and monies for the purchase and expanded use of computers. Interest in attending OES is strong. Our classes and our “wait pools” at all grade levels are filled, and by tal­ ented young people. After thought­ ful discussion, the Board decided to continue the enrollment at the cur­ rent level and not expand the num­ ber of classes or the class size. This decision was made based on the nature of our programs and the desire to maintain their excellence. During the past year, the Board approved a new [Master Plan for the OES campus. This outlines the physi­ cal requirements of our School, which are needed to insure our excellence into the 21st century. Subsequently, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, chaired by Dale Stewart, retained architects who prepared schematic designs for a new Middle School and a substan­ tially renovated Upper School. These plans are based on the programmatic needs of each division and were ▲ Board President Elisabeth L. Lyon and her son, OESfifth grader Baker, on Opening Day 1994. developed in conjunction with the faculty. Implementation of the new Master Plan is the largest undertak­ ing by OES, since our School moved to the current campus in 1964! The participation of volunteers over the past year was exceptional. Anne Thanhouser and the Volunteers’ Common Link organized many hours of volunteer commitment in all three divisions of the School. Wendy Hamilton and the creative Auction Committee raised a record­ setting $117,000! And we all will long remember that evening and the fun of being “Wild Things!” With the talented leadership of Pat Karamanos, the 1993-94 OES Fund reached a new high and exceeded $331,000! Sean Kuni ‘81 and the Alumni Association planned numer­ ous events, which brought even more alumni in touch with current life of the School. OES now has a school store, the inspiration and work of parents led by Darlene Kaempf. And thanks to the 125th Anniversary Committee, co-chaired by Sheryl Acheson and Meridel 31 To our faculty I want to express my great appreciation. They are the heart of our School. Many of the suc­ cesses of the past year are due to the commitment, work and leadership of both our faculty and our administra­ tion. I want to thank our Head, Peter Stevens, both for his management of ongoing operations and his vision and planning for our School’s future. His three able division heads: Anne Cass, Charyl Cathey and Harvey Zendt, in addition to the Director of Development, Sue Nicol, and Director of Admissions, Louisa Zendt. have worked tirelessly. My colleagues on the Board of Trustees have been diligent and thoughtful participants in the discus­ sion and conclusion of numerous issues this past year. In particular, I want to express my appreciation to the Executive Committee. The Right Rev. Robert L. Ladehoff, Sean Gilronan, Chris Kitchel, Jack Spring and Paul Schlesinger have provided great wisdom. This past year the Drinkward Award, which acknowledges outstanding leader­ ship. was given to trustee Peter Bechen. He has served the Board in many capacities including Treasurer and Chair of the OES Pacific Rim Council. And to you, the friends of Oregon Episcopal School, I want to say a very' special thank you. Our students and we are fortunate for your con­ tinuing support and interest. Sincerely, Elisabeth L.

In 1993, OES parents Mr. Chai and Mrs. Ing Sophonpanich graciously hosted the sec­ ond gathering in Bangkok, Thailand. Seoul Korea was the site of the 1994 meeting convened in May by OES Trustee and Pacific Rim Council Chair, Peter Bechen, and generously hosted by Dr. Jae Kyu and Mrs. Sun Park. As President of Kyungnam University in Masan, Korea and the Far Eastern Studies Institute in Seoul, Dr. Park arranged Council discussions in an international scholarly environment that was delightfully stimulating. The purpose of the Council is to offer advice on the long term goals of the School and its role as a E5 Pacific Rim institution. This year, Peter Bechen and Board President Elisabeth Lyon presented the OES Master Plan, which details the siting of new and renovated facili­ ties on the OES campus into the 21st century. Hamilton Gregg, former Director of the OES board­ ing program, then dis­ cussed “a day in the life of a boarding student.” Boarding is of particu­ lar interest to the Council because a number of their own children are current or recently-graduated OES students, and have come to OES from across the USA and around the world. With a growing awareness of global citi­ zenship, the Council views the importance of the boarding component in the implementation of the School’s long range plans. Upon his return to Portland. Peter Bechen reported back to the <BSJ' 3^# * * n r 4 1 ? ▲ Members of the 1993-94 Pacific Rim Advisory' Council, which represents OESparents, international educators, and business leaders, and whose annual meeting was held in Korea this past year. 53 �VOX LI' LN *7 T. 7 rR S Trustees of the discussion shared by Council mem­ bers.

LN ‘7 S SUMMERBRIDGE PORTLAND Summerbridge Portland was founded in the fall of 1992 as a collaborative effort between Oregon Episcopal School and the Catlin Gabel School with the intention of preparing high-potential middle school students for success in rigorous college preparatory high school programs. The program focuses specifically on students who have had limited educational opportunities.

The volume of requests numbs our senses. Our immediate impulse is to hang up or throw it away. Yer there are causes or organizations which tug at our con­ sciences, those we really embrace and want to sup­ port. However, die con­ stant throb of unwanted requests creates negative & conditioning. We just say “no!” or think “that’s impossible!” without really examining the possibilities. In truth, there are many methods of making chari­ table gifts, both large and small. With a little coach­ ing on the menu of options, the seemingly impossible can be done. I Writing a check is only one method of making a charitable gift. While sim­ ple, it is not necessarily the proper standard by which affordability should be measured if you really want to make a larger gift. The picture has to be more complete. “Non-cash” L o ▲ D. Charles Mauritz is an attorney practicing with Davis Wright Tremayne, and is thefather of Gwyn Mauritz Walker 87and Britta Mauritz 94 5i sold because of the income tax consequences or because of the reduc­ tion or loss of income it produces. Charitable gifts can unlock this dormant investment and income potential without adverse consequences. In fact, income and financial secu­ rity can be greatly enhanced by these efforts while creating a sizeable benefit for a charitable cause at the same time. One of the devices com­ monly used to take advan­ tage of hidden financial capacity is the Charitable Remainder Trust. It is based on a veiy simple premise: you transfer property to a trust, retain­ ing an income interest for a specific term, and your charity receives the bal­ ance of assets when the term ends. The tax laws grant a very favorable sta­ tus to these arrangements, and many first reactions are “it’s too good to be true." On the contrary, these arrangements have been around for a long time. They have long ago passed out of the “gim­ mick” category and into the main stream of estate and financial planning. assets such as securities, real estate, works of art, etc. must be included as well as income sources and needs. With these facts available, then your real financial capacity can be measured and the likely sources for making a gift can be identified. Most larger charitable gifts from individuals are not made in cash. The tax costs and resource reduc­ tion may be simply too high to make it worth­ while. Instead, many peo­ ple resort to various other devices which make use of their “hidden" financial capacity. This capacity is found in their appreciated stock or real estate which they believe should not be The Charitable Remainder Trust begins just like all 56 other charitable contribu­ tions. You first make a transfer of assets. In this case, the transfer is to a trust. The trust recites all of the terms and condi­ tions of the arrangement. Il names the beneficiaries and the trustees and defines the relationships of the parties. Many of these terms are required by the tax laws in order to sub­ stantiate the charitable nature of the trust, and your entitlement to the charitable deduction. The amount of the deduc­ tion depends on the num­ ber of variables you estab­ lish in the trust when the transfer is made. The initial variable is the income interest you retain. You must first decide how much income you want and how often it is to be paid. The income rate is expressed as an annual percentage of the value of the trust assets, i.e. 5%, 9%, etc. Income rates you received from the assets prior to transfer are irrele­ vant. You can set the new annual rate arbitrarily based on your expected needs. The lowest allow­ able rate is 5%, but there is no maximum rate. You can receive the income month- & Tl �l ly, quarterly, semiquarterly or annually. Generally, the charitable reduction goes down as the retained income rate and payment frequency go up. s When the income rate and payment frequency are established, you must then decide who will receive this income. The income payments can be retained for either a fixed number of years or for one or more lifetimes. For instance, you may decide to retain the income payments for a fixed period of 20 years. You may then designate yourself and several suc­ cessive, alternate beneficia­ ries to receive it during that term, depending on who is alive at any given time. Another option is to retain the income pay­ ments for your entire life­ time. You can also extend the term to include the lifetime of your spouse or of a child or children. Again, the charitable deduction decreases as the length of the retained income term increases (either expressed as a fixed number of years or through the duration of one or more lifetimes). rr d\' m n T> 9 1 v 1 The last significant variable is the form in which the income payments are determined. You may elect to fix the amount you receive when the initial transfer is made. The same payment amount will then be paid to you throughout the term of the trust. This is an “annuity” trust. The income payment is not affected by subsequent changes in the value of the trust fund. The second for­ mat is a variable payment amount. The same income percentage rate is used throughout the term, but the assets of the trust are re-valued at the beginning of each year and the rate applied to the new value. Thus the payment amount will fluctuate with the mar­ ket and value of the trust assets. This is a “uni-trust.” Generally, the deduction is higher for an annuity trust than a uni-trust. S charitable deduction. They are not necessarily the source of the income inter­ est you retain. Most often, the assets you transfer to the trust are sold. The pro­ ceeds are then reinvested more appropriately to pro­ duce the income payments to you. The sale may cre­ ate a gain, but there is not tax because the law attrib­ utes the gain to the “taxexempt” charitable benefi­ ciary, not to you. Thus a principal motivation for creating a Charitable Remainder Trust is to com­ pletely escape the tax cost of changing your investments. The trust is the key to a tax-free con­ version of low or no income assets into higher income assets or of a sin­ gle asset into a diversified portfolio of assets. The second key to release dormant investment and income potential is the charitable deduction itself. The gain on the sale of the assets you transfer to the trust is not taxable, but the income interest you retain is taxable as you receive it over the term of the trust. The charitable deduction is used to offset the tax con­ sequences of these income payments. It can also offset When these variables are established, the charitable deduction can be calculat­ ed. This deduction is one of the twin keys the Charitable Remainder Trust utilizes to release dormant investment and income potential. The assets you transfer to the trust are only used to measure the other income sources you have, too, if the deduction is large enough. The chari­ table deduction thus cre­ ates tax-free income where none existed before. The amount of the deduc­ tion is calculated using actuarial tables furnished by the IRS. As noted above, the deduction amount is directly affected by the characteristics you choose for the retained income interest. Sometimes, the deduction amount is the principal focus in selecting these variables, whereas other situations attribute less sig­ nificance to the deduction and concentrate on maxi­ mizing personal income security. In either case, the amount of charitable deduction which may be used to offset your taxable income is limited to the percentage of your “adjust­ ed gross income.” Most commonly, this limit is 20% of adjusted gross income. It is not unusual for the total deduction to exceed this limit. In that case, the tax law allows you to “carry forward” the excess deduction and apply it against your tax- a T J 57 �i <T Z J\r J\' ‘E T) 9 iv i j\'cj ■ I able income in the next five years. For example, if your total charitable deduction is $10,000 and 20% of your adjusted gross income is $4,000, then you can only use S4,000 of the deduction this year, but the remaining S6,000 of the deduction is still avail­ able for use in the next succeeding five years to offset taxable income with­ in the 20% limitation. The financial aspects of the Charitable Remainder Trust reflect your choices in the variables affecting the income interest you retain. Once fixed, these issues are rarely confront­ ed again. On the other y hand, the Charitable Remainder Trust is not something you sign and forget. It is, after all, still a trust. It must have a trustee to supervise and execute its affairs. There are many applicable rules and regulations governing the trust administration, but substantial flexibility also exists. Many people turn to their professional advisors to act as trustees, such as banks, accountants and attorneys. Some chari­ table organizations will even act as trustees of trusts for which they are I at least partially the even­ tual beneficiary. Com­ munity foundations (i.e., die Oregon Community Foundation) make it their business to act as trustees and fund managers for these trusts. Within certain special limitations in place, you can act as your own trustee, too. created with specific bene­ ficiaries in mind, but cir­ cumstances change. A Charitable Remainder Trust is by its very nature a long term plan. In response to inevitable change, the tax laws permit you to retain the right to change the charitable beneficiary if you choose. So long as all the beneficiaries at all times are qualified charita­ ble institutions, you can make as many changes as you wish. Only the list in effect at the conclusion of the trust term determines which charities actually receive the remaining trust assets. The duties of the trustee are not insignificant. They include the proper invest­ ment of the funds and the payment of the income interest to you. Annual tax returns and information reports must be prepared and filed. The fees and costs of the trustee or financial management ser­ vices may be an issue to some people, and each of the alternatives will pre­ sent different services and efficiencies. The final choice is important since the long term performance of the trust directly affects the ultimate benefit received by the charity. Prudence and experience are key elements in the selection criteria. The income interest char­ acteristics and manage­ ment choices cover quite a broad spectrum of variables. Only one attribute is ironclad from the inception of the trust. A Charitable Remainder Trust is irrevocable. This means the arrangement is permanent until its course is fully completed. The characteristics of the income interest cannot be changed. The distribution of the balance of the assets to charities at the conclu­ sion of the trust term can­ not be changed. Areas of flexibility do exist, but sec­ ond thoughts after the trust is in place cannot alter the The last variable is proba­ bly the one that truly pro­ vides the impetus for the whole arrangement. That is the identity of the chari­ table beneficiary or benefi­ ciaries. Many trusts are 58 trust or the ultimate fulfill­ ment of its purpose. Many details are involved in the decision to pursue a larger charitable gift. The first rule is the most obvi­ ous, but also the most dif­ ficult: lake off the blinders. They only confine your vision of the available resources for a gift. The second rule is equally compelling: consult com­ petent professionals. They are the only ones who can give you a complete expla­ nation of all the options open to you and the many variables affecting each one. No description of planned charitable giving alternatives is complete without a thorough review of a Charitable Remainder Trust. It can provide the means to make a substan­ tial charitable gift. In fact, it can actually increase your income and strength­ en your portfolio by diver­ sifying your investments. Happily, the tax laws promote rather than dis­ courage these positive results, and the investment transition is tax-free. With these kinds of benefits potentially available, the issue is not whether to do it, rather how you can afford not to do it! a 1 �AUTUMN 19 9 4 THE CLASS OF 1994 ▲ Shannon Hiller-Webb, Tracy Sheetz and Wendy Siemens gather for a photograph before processing into Trinity for the 1994 commencement.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL For 125 years, thousands of individuals have been touched by their educational experiences at St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, and Oregon Episcopal School. Not only stu­ dents, but parents, teachers, staff, alumni, grandparents, and friends have grown and been nurtured within the School’s inclusive community. Mr. Jong-Hyon Chey, chair­ man of the Sunkyong Group, one of the five largest conglom­ erates in Korea, recently stated in reference to the future direc­ tion of his own business: “We are not awaiting the 21st centu­ ry, we intend to shape it.” How perfectly applicable this state­ ment is to the implementation process of the OES Long Range Plan for the 21st Century, which is appropriately called OES/21. The OES Statement of Purpose articulates both the School that we are and the School we are becoming, and OES/21 details the essence of what we seek to accomplish to shape our institution for the 21st century. Like Mr. Chey, the OES Board of Trustees realizes the prudency of its charge for long-range planning and articulated goals. Wise and careful trustee management during the past decade has allowed the School to achieve financial solidity with no external debt, a well-man­ aged plant with provisions for deferred maintenance, and an enrollment that is both the largest in the School's history (with plentiful wait pools in each division) and the earlierthan-expected realization of our student population goal outlined in OES/21. Our moment is al hand. We have implemented many of the components of the Long Range Plan, ranging from a growing endowment for faculty profes­ sional growth and development to technology components that 60 include laptop computers for each third, fourth, and fifth grader, and laptop PC’s for all sixth graders beginning in the fall of 1995. We are now ready to launch the most energetic campus facil­ ities upgrade ever seen in the 125-year-history of the School. The Trustees and Middle School faculty have worked together with the OES Design Review Committee over the past year to develop a facility that meets the programmatic requirements of the Middle School. The proposed new Middle School building will secure an academically excellent environ­ ment for all our current students as well as the thousands of stu­ dents who follow them into the 21st century. We have a superb Middle School program that is a model of what a truly excellent Middle School should be, and it is racing towards the 21st centu­ ry! All that is missing is the building that will fulfill the space and programmatic needs of the children who learn within its walls. We need you to help us build it! �T S AUTUMN 19 9 4 E LEGEND 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 17 Reception Office Faculty Lounge Conference Middle School Head Work Area Laboratory PrepJStorage Counseling Classroom Drama School Nurse Commons The proposed main level of the new Middle ScbooL 16 I 17 V\ 2 15 Vv 14 13 \ 10 LEGEND io 10 2 4 10 13 14 15 10 n Fl 10 Office Conference Classroom Projects Computer Lab Publishing Center 16 Library 17 Commons OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The proposed upper level of the new Middle ScbooL 61 �AUTUMN 19 9 4 I had the opportunity to attend the 1944 St. Helens Hall and SHH Junior College class luncheon.

I feel very lucky beginning my term as President of the Alumni Association during such an exciting time. I hope you have the opportunity to attend some of the events scheduled throughout the year. Many volunteers and dedicated staff have worked long hours developing them. Summer is always a busy time at the School and this past summer was no exception. The Alumni Association welcomed its newest members at the Senior Reception held on June 9. The Class of 1994 added 47 members to our ranks, which total approxi­ mately 1,800. At the reception I was pleased to introduce Jo-Anne Landry as the 1994 Class Agent. Jo-Anne, who is studying in England this fall, will act as liason between the School and her classmates. I Class reunions are held each June and this year we celebrated the classes ending in “4” and “9”. ■ I was touched by the stories about World War II, in particular D-Day, which occurred close to their grad­ uation. One alumna remembers how calmly Bishop Dagwell announced the invasion and how he allayed their fears. Another classmate told of her fiancee who lost his life landing off Holland that same summer. Most recollections, however, were met with laughter and smiles. I hope in another 30 years my 50th class reunion is just as memorable. My graduating class of 1974 cele­ brated its 20th reunion this past summer. Eighteen out of 36 class­ mates were able to attend at least one event. Brent Erensel and Max Miller Jr. deserve much thanks for organizing the gathering. Our reunion was that much more joyful with the recent news that our classmates, Tanja Vaselijevic Horvat, was granted entry to the United States. Tanja, a citizen of Saravejo, had been living in Germany with her daughter Ivana since escaping the war that has destroyed her homeland. OES offered Tanja, who is a trained doctor, the position of laboratory assistant in the science depart­ ment. Without a job, Tanja and Ivana would not have been able to enter the United States. The OES Board of Directors, Headmaster Peter W. Stevens, the Development Office, the Rosenlund family, Max Miller Jr., Autumn Alexander-Skeen, John Wysham, Jenny Holden and others are to be thanked for their efforts concerning Tanja. Their concern, humanitarianism and actions exemplify the spirit of OES. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 62 This fall and winter also promise to be busy. Many activities are scheduled to celebrate the 125th. An example is the Alumni Lecture Series, which runs throughout the school year in conjunction with the programs of the OES Parent Education Committee. Guest speakers from our alumni ranks are scheduled to speak on a variety of topics. The Alumni Assocation extends a special invitation to all alumni, parents and friends of OES to attend the 1994 Founders Day Anniversary Gala. This year we honor Betsy Johnson, Class of 1969, with the Distinguished Alumni Award named in honor of the founder of St. Helens Hall in 1869, Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris. The award will be present­ ed during the Founders’ Day Gala. Chet Orloff, Executive Director of the Oregon Historical Society will be our guest speaker and Gerry Frank will be our Master of Ceremonies. It promises to be an entertaining evening. Another anniversary event will be the appearance of actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liv Ullmann, on December 8. Ms. Ullmann will speak on “Making the World A Better Place for Our Children,” a very appropriate topic for the OES community. I am excited about this anniversary and I hope you are too!

Nor are they programs or people, or ideas, or even vision, or spirit, or commitment. But these are ingredients of good and effec­ tive schools. And, like the chemi­ cals brought to react together in the laboratory, they enrich and refine each other. At Oregon Episcopal School, we are celebrat­ ing a bold and distinguished 125 year history of such enrichment. OES/21, the Strategic Plan that will carry OES into the next century, is now in its second full year of implementation. Broad-based in its creation, and comprehensive in its design, OES/21 calls for expanded programs in the arts, the sciences, service learning, global citizenship and improved resources in tech­ nology. It calls upon us to respond to an ever-changing world with a new emphasis on human develop­ ment of both faculty and students. And it requires us to enhance com­ pensation for our faculty, financial aid for those students and families who require it, and endowments ' for critical educational programs, whose costs continue to rise. Just as OES today is the product of the service and generosity of countless alumni, faculty and staff, trustees, parents and grandpar­ ents, community leaders, and other friends, so are we building the OES of the 21st Century. Catch our excitement in this 125th year of celebration! Most sincerely, 4 Peter W. Stevens A most important challenge of OES/21 tackles the School’s facilities. This issue of The OES Belltower proudly shares with you the OES Master Plan, the planning and siting of new and renovated facilities to serve OESians in the 21st Century. This Plan is suitably bold and ambitious, for the OES tradition deserves nothing less. The pages of this issue of The OES Belltower are a testimonial to the lives of thousands of women and men who have been empowered, refined, and perhaps even launched by these great reactions. In our corridors and dormitories, classrooms and playing fields, din­ ing room and common areas, today’s laughter and dialogue echo the pride of our heritage. And it is appropriate indeed to celebrate our roots and our traditions, for OES today is yesterday’s vision. But good schools are dynamic institutions; they change and grow and develop. Just as our history is not static, nor will our future be. It is exciting that, while we joyfully recall the dignity and the good of our past, we reap the harvest of those lives by looking ahead, cre­ ating new visions and designing new pathways to take us there. ▲ Headmaster Peter Stevens enjoys buffalo stew with LSparent Mickey Morey at this year’s All-School Social, “Trail's End."

Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal School is a prc-K through 12. coeducational, independent, college preparatory school in die Episcopal tradition. A full boarding program is offered in grades 9 through 12. Exceptional teachers engage students in small classes that stress participation, creativity and a passion for active learning and living. Within a traditional framework, dynamic programs in the fine and performing arts and athletics encourage student participation. Located on the Pacific Rim, the School emphasizes global studies and an international outlook. Virtually all graduates attend fine colleges.

For the past several months, Board of Trustees President Elisabeth Lyon along with Trustee Dale Stewart and Jon Schleuning, one of the principals of the architectur­ al firm SRG Partnerships, have dis­ cussed with parents, students, friends and alumni the siting of new facilities on the OES campus over the next ten years. In March, the discussions were punctuated with two very generous gifts from OES trustees, allowing the schematic planning to begin for a new Middle School and a fully renovated Upper School. April became DESIGN MONTH in the Middle School. The entire stu­ dent body, faculty and parent body participated in this schematic stage of the new building, a process whereby SRG architects met with faculty to discuss pro­ grammatic needs—the first step in designing a facility. Working in teams, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students assumed the role of architect and conceptually cre­ ated the "ideal Middle School.” Throughout the month, the wall in the Middle School Commons became the easel to display the plethora of diagrams and descrip­ tive ideas hatched by the Middle School community. Jon McGrew, architect with SRG Partnerships, guided the students and faculty through this marvelous experiential form of learning which culminated 3 in three-dimensional models dis­ played in SPARC in late April. Parents were invited to participate in discussions or send their thoughts in writing. Ideas from the DESIGN MONTH curriculum unit are the basis for the preliminary architectural schematic designs which will be brought back to the community for critique and feedback. Several rounds of review and design will take place not only in the Middle School but with the Building and Grounds Committee of the Board of Trustees actively involved. “Real-life” educational opportuni­ ties abound at OES, and the vision of new facilities brings an enthusi­ astic response from all who share in our sense of community. The 21st century is upon us. We honor our past and we are all participants in the exhilaration of securing the School’s future! OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 19 9 4 A View of the World Oregon Episcopal School is preparing its students for the world. Lilly teaches French to third graders and Japanese to fourth and fifth graders. Their study of the language is largely project-based, Lilly explains, in which stu­ dents become immersed in a project that incorpo­ rates information about the culture of the country with the learning of the basics of its language. Lilly has managed to build a curriculum that links lan­ guage to math, science, performing and fine arts and global studies. Joyce Schafer teaches a similar program to 1st and 2nd grade students, in Spanish. Just as an architect plans a building with a solid foundation, OES is intro­ ducing its students to the community in which they live by integrating tradition­ al academics with the con­ cepts of globalism, diversi­ ty and multiculturalism.

By the time OES students enter the Middle School, they understand that there is more to other cultures than what is contained in a text­ book of conjugations, vocabulary and characters. The MS curriculum continues this integration of lan­ guage and humanities, through the study of world cultures, literature, geography, history, religion, linguis­ tics and language arts within activi­ ties that simultaneously involve thinking, listening, speaking, read­ ing, writing and creative skills. “We try to involve the children in every aspect of the culture they are studying,” explains Shelley. “It’s a very unusual program...we wanted to have this focused, intense period that would be very exciting for teachers and students.” I Shelley is also the 1994 director of the Shukutoku Exchange, another example of how OES students come face-to-face with another culture. Now in its eighth year, the exchange sends about 15 OES fourth and fifth graders to the Shukutoku School in Tokyo, Japan for ten days. The students live with Japanese families, in order to experience their culture first­ hand.

How does all of this prepare a MS student for the rigors of the Upper School? US history and humanities teacher Hope Stevens says that students who experience the LS and MS cur­ riculum enter the Upper School prepared to take the second or third year of language in their freshman year, setting them up for advanced placement classes in their junior and senior years. And, although the study of languages and their constructions is certainly more intense in the Upper School, the integration of culture and language is hardly neglected. The “kickoff,” says Hope, is 9th grade humanities, in which they read global materials while they’re studying the history and cultural aspects of the corre­ sponding region. Other US stu­ dents might be learning the history of eastern and central Asia while reading its literature in English class and studying Buddhism in religion class.

They take trips to England, France, the Canyonlands of Utah or arch­ aeological digs in Arizona, or learn about breadmaking techniques from around the world, silkscreen­ ing or the architecture of Portland. “Students at OES are constantly learning to recognize that there are different kinds of intelligences and different kinds of learning,” says Hope Stevens, who is also the organizer and coordinator of US Japanese teacher Rich Sherwood emphasizes that “know­ ing about Japanese is as important as learning to speak Japanese.” His students learn the language in conjunction with cultural projects, like reading Japanese poetry, see­ ing Japanese films and writing haiku.

In a recent visit from The Growth and Prevention (GAP) Theatre Company, issues of race, gender, culture and sexual orientation were addressed in the company’s multi-disciplinary pro­ ductions, emphasizing the impor­ tance of confronting bigotry and promoting diversity. Upper School students are involved with Summerbridge, a program offered by OES and Catlin Gabel to Portland middle school students from diverse backgrounds and circumstances. Project Transcend involves middle school students from OES and other Portland schools in leadership and anti­ discrimination training. And, of course, the international student population at OES offers the per­ fect opportunity for students to learn more about the traditions, differences and similarities of other cultures.

One minute, she’s all business— a high-powered, fast-talking national health official who can fire off statistics about the leading causes of death, explain retro viruses and dissect condom ads, almost without pausing for breath. The next minute, she’s a caring, concerned mother of three, whose parental angst has taken on global proportions. Kristine Gebbie is an expert on AIDS, the epidemic that’s infected an estimated 14 million people worldwide. Knowing what she does, she’s worried about the world’s children. Unless we all do our part, she says, AIDS threatens to wipe out our next generation, much like it has decimated the next generation in sub-Saharan Africa. Gebbie, the mother of OES senior Eric Gebbie and alumnae Anna Gebbie ‘88 and Sharon Gebbie ‘91, was appointed the first National AIDS Policy Coordinator by Presi­ dent Clinton in June 1993. When OES learned that she planned a visit to Portland for personal rea­ sons, she was invited to speak on AIDS and American education. She urged students to heed warn­ ings about unsafe sex practices when she spoke at the School in February. She pulled no punches in talking about the consequences of risky behavior, and she answered questions bluntly. She pointed out that today, AIDS is the leading cause of death among men aged 25 to 44, and the fourth high­ est cause of death among women in the same age group. Because of the time that typically elapses between exposure and illness, it’s likely that victims in this age group are becoming infected between the ages of 15 and 30. ▲ Kristine Gebbie addresses various AIDS issues during a presentation to OES parents. Later the same day, Gebbie spoke to OES parents, faculty and staff. She challenged the School to do its part in AIDS education by invit­ ing HIV-positive peers to speak to students; by upholding a standard for talking about AIDS without bias; by integrating AIDS materials into the curriculum; and by encour­ aging AIDS-related service learning projects. She also challenged OES parents to play an active role in stopping the spread of AIDS. Gebbie says it’s imperative that we begin teaching children about AIDS when they are very young. Introducing youngsters to the con­ cept of their body as a precious thing that they must learn to take care of to avoid diseases is as important at age 2 or 3 as mes­ sages like “Don’t let strangers touch you” and "Wash your hands after you go to the bathroom.” “Seventy five percent of kids have had sex before they’re out of high school," she says. “There is a dis­ tressing number of teens who think that the only thing they have to barter with is their body." Then, Gebbie adds, when children are old enough to start making their own choices, they need to know the practical things, like “If you’re going to do it, here’s a way not to get diseases.” Despite a long and distinguished career in public health, Gebbie is far from sure she has all the answers to teaching children about AIDS. You just do the best you can, she says. You give them all the information you have. You throw in moralizing comments when you see couples hopping into bed on TV sitcoms. “Then you just sit back and pray.” As children approach puberty, parents should schedule a more serious talk about AIDS. Gebbie suggests bringing it into the dis­ cussion about physical and emo­ tional changes that children can expect at adolescence. It’s also important at this time to talk about the value of resisting temptation. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 14 �The OES Master Plan 125th ANNIVERSARY :rtaU«« olaygiouna BEGINNING SCHOOL OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL RODNEY HOUSE JACKSON» �E E M S (dince the beginnings W- <3 of Oregon Episcopal School ’ as St. Helens Hall in 1869, our history is filled with examples of dedicated individuals andfamilies who believed in thefuture of the School, saw the window of opportunity and steppedforward to secure it. From Bishop Morris and die generous donors who purchased die site for die first campus, to the vision­ ary leadership which propelled the community and relocated the School to Raleigh Hills in 1964, our School has moved forward in ways and at limes that have been providential. 1994 is a year of celebration for Oregon Episcopal School. Our 125th anniversary coupled with record high enrollments, a strong fiscal posture, energetic volunteer and alumni organizations, academic excellence and a deep sense of community demon­ strate the strength of the School. Programs and curricula have always determined the needs of the School. In the 1930’s when St. Helens Hall opened the first junior college in Oregon or in 1965 with die addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall, die boys’ school, facilities such as dormitories, gymnasi­ ums and classrooms have been built to meet these I needs. In recent years, constructing a new running track and playing fields, building a new library for the Lower School and purchasing and renovating SPARC—an indoor sports facility—are all examples of how the School has taken initiative to advance our evolving programs. We are now on the thresh­ old of another opportunity to secure the future for Oregon Episcopal School. Over die next ten years, the School’s strategic plan, OES/21, calls for an increased endowment, enhancement of faculty compensation, improved resources in technology, and expanded programs in the arts, sciences, service learning, global citizen­ ship and internationalism. One of the most visible components of OES/21 is the Master Plan, the siting of new and renovated facilities to serve the 21st Century at OES. To meet the program needs, the Master Plan calls for a new Middle School, a fully renovated and enhanced Upper School, and a fine Y’ P 0 I"*"/? y MAM BUILDING < [I ROONEY HOUSE I �L N and performing arts facility, as well as additions to the Lower School and the gymnasium. Since 1965, the home of Oregon Episcopal School has been a beautiful 59-acre campus in the Southwest hills of suburban Portland. The history of our School—St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School—is woven into the history of Portland and the state of Oregon. As the oldest Episcopal School west of the Rocky Mountains, ours is an enduring legacy of academic excellence. The campus today offers unusual potential which will be realized through enhanced facilities. Significant improvements will better allow us to deliver academic, extra-curricular, social and spiritu­ al programs which meet the needs of individual stu­ dents, and will firmly position OES as a pre-eminent Pacific Rim Institution serving challenging students from diverse backgrounds. OES/21 calls for a school of today’s size—about 700 students. The Master Plan requires both new con­ struction and renovation of current facilities to pro­ mote the development of the skills and attitudes that these students will need for die next century. *X><XX Our commitment to teaching of the highest quality, and to experiential and collaborative learning, requires workspace for projects, modem laborato­ ries for experimentation, and both large and small gathering places for students and teachers. Each space must be outfitted with appropriate utilities, including water, gas, audio-visual equipment access, and computer technology. Intentional facilities, which are used by students to perform theater and music and to create art are essential. Physical train­ ing and conditioning space and equipment must complement our other excellent athletic facilities. Currently, our faculty must too often creatively adapt space, rather than teach and coach in purpose-built facilities. Many of our buildings and spaces are stretched well beyond whatever was the intent of their original designers. Various OES/21 committees have spent the past two years discussing these programmatic needs, and a strategic plan has been articulated. We know who we are, what we need and how we will deliver these programs to our students. Now we are ready to take this landmark step and begin a capital effort. Proposed new construction and renovation. J Throughout the past 125 years, alumni, parents, friends, trustees, grandparents, foundations, corpo­ rations, staff, faculty and students have all stepped forward to support the mission of the School. The Master Plan celebrates the spirit and tradition of die School, and brings all of us together as we launch the OES/21 vision. �LEGEND WETLANDS 1 Gymnasium 2 New Gymnasium Addition 3 Garage 4 Beginning School 5 New Beginning School Addition 6 Lower School 7 New Lower School Arts and Science Addition 8 St. Johns Parish 9 New Parish Addition 10 New Entry 11 Visual Arts 12 New Performing Arts 13 New Middle School 14 Upper School Renovation 15 New Classrooms 16 Rodney House (Student Housing) 17 Jackson House (Student Housing) 18 Morris House (Office Staff Housing) 19 Sports and Recreation Center (SPARC) 20 Aardvark Fun Park 21 Track and Athletic Fields 22 Staff Housing Existing Building Future Building i ((MF'^7 -' _________________ 'i p v'Xti AzTLANDS K Si.

Deady at the June 9, 1880 graduation of St. Helens Hall. The Sakai Family When Mazie Zakoji enrolled in St. Helens Hall Junior College in 1946, she wasn’t your typical student. Although she was born and raised in Portland, Mazie is Japanese-American, which meant she was one of many who were interned during the second World War. Mazie and her par­ ents were first held at the Portland Assembly Center, also known as the Livestock Exposition Center, where families of four or five stayed in two “rooms,” which were actually stalls without doors or ceilings. “The idea that we were taught that America was democratic, and to be American citizens and then to be thrown into camps, was unbelievable,” recalls Mazie. The Zakoji family was later sent to a relocation center in Idaho, a barrack-style camp that was very cold in the winter and whose toilet facilities were inadequate. Mazie remembers tow- When Judge Matthew Deady delivered his graduation address to the class of 1880, the eighth class to graduate from St. Helens Hall, he characterized the enduring qualities of its students which still exist today: allegiance and loyalty. In the past 125 years since Oregon Episcopal School was founded as St. Helens Hall, the School has graduated nearly 3,000 women and men. Of those graduates, many have not only been advo­ cates for the School, they have chosen it for their own children. Now in its 125th anniversary year, Oregon Episcopal School has many legacy families whose names figure prominently in the history of the School. More than anything else, Oregon Episcopal School’s legacy families are a tribute to what Matthew Deady declared the "values and soundness of its teachings and disciplines." ▲ Three generation of the Sakai family gatherfor a group photo.

Mazie obtained a release in 1943 and went to Tennessee to work and attend Scarritt College, but her parents remained in the camps until 1945, at which point they returned to Portland and Mazie joined them. “There was still a great deal of discrimination in Portland at that time,” Mazie remembers. “Businesses could refuse service, and my husband Bill and I even had problems buying a house. I was kind of an oddity at the Junior College.” Mazie does say, however, that the “girls” at St. Helens Hall were very kind and she enjoyed her time as a student there. Gertrude Fariss was the director of the Junior College and Mazie says “she was a very special person." Mazie graduated from St. Helens Hall Junior College in 1947, and in the fall of 1956 she and her husband William Sakai enrolled their son Ken in St. Helens Hall, whose Lower School was co-ed through the sixth grade. Over the next 13 years, some of the many changes to the School proved fortuitous for Ken Sakai. When he finished sixth grade, his parents were preparing to send him elsewhere because the School was all-girls from seventh grade on, but that same year the Middle School went co-ed and he was able to continue. During Ken’s seventh grade year, he was given another reprieve when Bishop Dagwell Hall was established as a boy’s companion school to SHH. Most of the changes in the School, Ken recalls, seemed nor­ mal. His school experience was already very different from that of his friends in public schools in Portland, and he took most of the upheaval in stride. The exception, he remembers, was Bishop Dagwell Hall. “BDH was a huge change,” Ken says. “We had a new cam­ pus. Not only had the School been co-ed and now was all boys, but most of the teachers they recruited for BDH were from the East Coast, so there was a whole new level of teaching.” The students at BDH did enjoy the new Raleigh Hills campus, however, with its state-of-the-art gymnasium, although Ken remembers that sometimes the emphasis on athletics seemed extreme. One year, he remembers, every BDH student had two hours of mandatory after-school sports, which meant they arrived at school at 8:00 a.m. and didn’t leave campus until 5:00 or 5:30 in the evening. “That only lasted one year,” Ken says, laughing. Ken’s graduating class of 1970 is filled with names that are E A D E R S H I P 1949-1954 Miss Jane Allen Saxon and Miss Lois Robison, Headmistress and Assistant Headmistress, St. Helens Hall. ▲ The pre-school class of 1957 at St. Helens Hall.

Paul Schlesinger is a member of the OES Board of Trustees, Norm Frink is a current OES parent and Kris Van Hatcher is a current parent and OES’ athletic director, having worked at OES since 1974. As it turned out, his first year at St. Helens Hall proved to be fortuitous for Ken Sakai. One of his classmates in pre-school at St. Helens Hall was a little girl named Loree Lipman, who left St. Helens Hall soon after pre-school (another of their classmates, Laurie Drake Turney, is a current OES parent). Many years later, Ken and Loree were reunited and married, and now there is a new Sakai generation at OES. David is in the second grade, Andrew is in pre-kindergarten and Alix will be in pre-kindergarten this fall. “They know that it’s a very special place,” says Loree. “They’re fortunate to be here!” The Cheatham Family One of the many names that are ubiquitous to the long history of Oregon Episcopal School is the name Cheatham. As president of the School’s Board of Trustees from 1967 to 1969, Julian Cheatham was responsible for the union of Bishop Dagwell Hall and St. Helens Hall and for the adoption of the name “Oregon Episcopal School.” He was at that time the exec­ utive vice president of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation. 20 �E 1954-1968 Gertrude Houk Fariss, Headmistress, St. Helens Hall A R A S 1968-1974 The Rev.

Headmaster, Oregon Episcopal School More than any of his administrative accomplishments, however, Julian Cheatham (who passed away in 1988) has long been known as one of Oregon Episcopal School’s most devoted lead­ ers and patrons. “Julian Cheatham gave and gave and gave,” says Fred Wood, former Head of Bishop Dagwell Hall. “He was an endless benefactor who always stepped forward and covered the bases.” ▲ Julian Cheatham Responsible for many of the improvements to the School’s grounds teas the School's Board of Trustees ’ president during the late ‘60’s and ‘70’s, Julian from 1967 to 1969. and Cheatham and his wife Alyce also is counted among the chose the School for their own chil­ School's most devoted dren, Sallie and North. and influential leaders. Sallie Cheatham Cutler ‘72 clearly remembers the day during her eighth grade year when her father drove by their neighborhood middle school, where she was enrolled, just in time to see her class­ mates “leaping" from a classroom window. “My mother picked me up that afternoon, we drove down­ town to be fitted for a school uniform, and the next day I was enrolled at St. Helens Hall!” she remembers. “Julian was very community-conscious, and devoted to the School,” says Alyce, Sallie’s mother. "He felt that his children would get a better education in a private school.” North Cheatham ‘69, Sallie’s brother, was enrolled in Bishop Dagwell Hall in 1965, and was in the third graduating class of what was the boys’ companion school to St. Helens Hall. North recalls that the School was very strict during those years, and that there was very little contact among male and female stu­ dents. North lived in the dorms for periods throughout his time at the School, and the boys were on the opposite side of the campus from the girls, in Scott House and Morris House. Now the owner of an exotic fruit farm in Hood River, Oregon, North jokes that he learned about pruning trees during his stints on Saturday “work crew,” which served as a disciplinary mea­ sure for the boys at Bishop Dagwell Hall. “What I remember, and of course it was really a function of the times, was that BDH had quite an oppressive, stifling atmos­ D E 1981-1990 The Rev.

Stevens, Headmaster, Oregon Episcopal School phere,” North recalls. “I had a couple of avenues for expression: writing a column on school politics for The Hallmark, the school newspaper, and serving on the disciplinary committee." (Ironically, another member of that committee was Norm Frink ‘70, current OES parent and Portland’s Multnomah County District Attorney.) North counts Dr. Robert Autry, the biology teacher at BDH, as an enormous influence on him during his time at the School. Sallie Cheatham also stayed in the dorms during periods when her parents were out of town, and she remembers walking with her friends from the dorms to have ice cream at Farrell’s or to the Portland Riding Academy, which is now OES’ Sports and Recreation Center (SPARC). She remembers former physical education teacher Helga Daret, whom she says was “very with it," and David Hursty, who “took an interest in all of us, and was very positive. That made a big difference.” Shelby Sigman, Sallie’s daughter, is now a student in the seventh grade on the same cam­ pus where her mother and uncle spent so many years and where her grandfather ▲ Legacyfamily members North Cheatham was such a com­ 69.

Shelby juggles her responsibilities as a student, a musician and an equestrienne—she sings in the school choir, plays the clarinet, guitar and piano and has recently traveled to Palm Springs and Canada to compete in national riding champi­ onships. “OES is a good place for Shelby,” says her mother. “She’s a good student and she fits in very easily.” 21 �In Touch With OES HA’' VtOH'-.i Bi ?

SPRING 19 9 4 125 Years of Excellence in Education This year marks Oregon Episcopal School’s 125th anniversary, with many commemorative events scheduled for the fall of 1994. Working behind the scenes to pre­ pare for this important occasion is the 125th Anniversary Committee, made up of alumni, current par­ ents, students and OES faculty and staff. As part of the anniver­ sary preparation, OES’ first official school crest has been designed by current LS parent Myra Clark. The OES crest contains elements from the crest of St. Helens Hall (roses and cross) and Bishop Dagwell Hall (the Douglas fir) which have been incorporated with a symbol of academic excellence (an open book) for Oregon Episcopal School. Over the past year and a half, the committee has met to plan several events for the anniversary year, which will commence in September 1994. Among the events that the committee has planned are a 125th Rose Garden, which is now being planted outside Morris House and includes roses commemorating significant years in the School's history, an anniver­ sary Opening Day involving stu­ dents, alumni, parents, faculty and staff, a special evening Founders’ Day with a distinguished speaker, an Alumni Lecture Series and, finally, Commencement and Reunion Weekend. A final calendar of anniversary events will be sent out this summer to all alumni, par­ ents and friends. As we have been preparing for our 125th anniversary, one of our chief objectives has been to organize our historical archive collection, which includes photos, docu­ ments, uniforms, yearbooks and other memorabilia from our School’s 125 years. Over the past few months, we have benefited OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL from the excellent memories and boundless motivation of alumni from the ‘20’s through the ‘80’s, who have come to campus to pore over and identify many of our pho­ tos. Our archives are open to all alumni and friends of the School; please stop by Morris House if you would like to come to campus to take a tour of the archives. We welcome any contributions that might benefit our archival collec­ tion, whether it’s a diary from SHH, BDH or OES years, a uniform, old letters written from the residence halls, photographs or anything that might make our collection more complete. If you have things like this gathering dust in your attic, please donate them to OES! The next special edition of The OES Belltower will be devoted to the rich history of the School. In addition to historic photos and alumni profiles, we will include short anecdotes and memories from alumni from SHH, SHH JC, BDH and OES. Please fill out the questionnaire on the inside back cover of this Belltower and we will include your memories in this spe­ cial anniversary edition. The committee welcomes new volunteers and ideas. Want to get involved? Call the Alumni Office at (503) 768-3153 for more information. ▲ Some of the members of the 125th Anniversary Committee.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 25 �SPRING 19 9 4 125 Years of Generosity I regon Episcopal School is ■ preparing to celebrate its 125th anniversary this fall. The School has reached this momentous landmark for many rea­ sons, but above all because its community has believed in the qual­ ity of the School’s education and has stepped forward to assure its future. Throughout its history, alum­ ni and friends have assured that the School’s programs and curriculum have not only survived but flour­ ished, by making generous contri­ butions including planned gifts. Many donors have named Oregon Episcopal School in their estate provisions as the recipient of funds or property upon their deaths. Alumni and friends pay the School an enormous honor in this manner. However, there are ways in which a donor can give to Oregon Episcopal School within their own lifetime and simultane­ ously benefit the School, them­ selves and their families. O ES There are many examples of planned giving in our community. One of Oregon Episcopal School’s most generous benefactors was the late Spencer R. Collins, who, before his death in 1977, estab­ lished a charitable remainder annu­ ity trust which pays income to his children and grandchildren during their lifetimes. Upon each one’s passing, their portion of the trust income is divided among OES and two other beneficiaries. The quarterly income OES receives from the Collins Estate is placed in a special scholarship endowment and enables the School to grant a significant amount of tuition assistance each year to students who may not have attended otherwise. This is just one example of how a donor can benefit their loved ones while also benefiting Oregon Episcopal School. There are many other ways to make a planned gift, each of which will offer benefits. Fund Nears The principal basis for making such a gift is the desire to support Oregon Episcopal School and guarantee the educational future for our students. It cannot be denied that the practical benefits of making a planned gift during your lifetime are numerous. When you make a planned gift to the School, whether in the form of an estate provision, a charitable remainder trust or another vehicle, you are able to claim tax-deductions and minimize federal estate and other taxes. Oregon Episcopal School would not be celebrating its 125th anniversary year without the thoughtful support and generosity of those who believe in its commit­ ment to education. If you would like to be a part of ensuring its next 125 years, please contact the Development Office at Oregon Episcopal School, at (503)7683153, for more information on planned giving opportunities. Its Goal As the end of the school year draws near, the OES Fund is continuing the climb towards its goal of $350,000 before the close of our annual fund on June 30. We are proud to report that we have surpassed last year’s goal and at press time, we have raised $312,052 in gifts and pledges. r - IwJl The support of alumni, current parents, past parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, friends and foundations has been tremendous, but to reach our goal we need the support of the entire OES community. With your help, $350,000 can be a reality! If you have not done so, please take a moment to send in your contribution today. Your partici­ pation in The OES Fund is a positive endorsement of the School and the quality education it provides. Step right up, don’t be shy, give The OES Fund a try! A special thanks to the parent grade chairs and class representatives, alumni class agents and all the volunteers who have helped with this year’s campaign. Their energy and enthusiasm is crucial to the success of The OES Fund. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 26 �Alumni Association President’s Corner This issue of The OES Belltower focuses on the School’s new Master Plan, which determines the future needs of the buildings and grounds at OES and will enable us to maintain our academic excel­ lence in the 21st century. The Plan was unveiled to the members of the Alumni Board and current class agents this spring by Elisabeth Lyon, President of the Board of Trustees. Elisabeth and the Alumni Board discussed the importance of the role of alumni in the School. Whether you graduated from SHH, SHH JC, BDH or OES, you create the history of the School and help to build a tradition of quality education for our students of today and tomorrow. The Master Plan is an important begin­ ning in providing them with the best resources, teachers, labs and classrooms. Just for a moment, imagine Alumni Night at the Theater in the new performing arts center or Founders’ Day on cam­ pus in the expanded dining room. The opportunities are endless for the students as well as for us, the alumni. I take great pride in this School, what it has done for me and what it is now doing for my daughter. As you learn more about the Master Plan, I hope you will also get caught up in the energy and enthusiasm of the project. In February, Alumni Night at the Theater patrons were treated to an excellent production of The Man Who Came to Dinner. Marie Claire Vohnson-Streight *90 and Alex de Weese ‘93 were members of the hilarious cast which also featured faculty, staff and students. Our spring Alumni After Hours at the Bridgeport Brewpub was also a great evening and included some reminiscing as we identified pho­ tographs from the alumni archives. The Archive Room is open during school hours and is located in the Morris House above the Alumni/Development Office. Take a moment to go and look through the collection of pictures and memorabilia. The Alumni Office appreciates the help and enjoys seeing you. Many thanks to Alumni Board member Jack McCann *84, for coordinating the evening at the Bridgeport. On Friday, June 17 and Saturday, June 18, we hope to see many alumni for this year’s Reunion Weekend! We invite all alumni to take part in this wonder­ ful weekend, especially the classes that end in a “4" or “9”. Our theme, “Celebrating the Past, Present and Future of OES” incorporates the 125th anniversary and the launch­ ing of the Master Plan. This is my final message as the OES Alumni Association President. I have enjoyed my presidency and will continue to participate in alum­ ni and campus activities. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Anne Robinson, Helen Kirschner and Sue Nicol along with all of the Alumni and Development Office for making my job so fun and easy. I would also like to thank all of the terrific Alumni Board members for their enthusiasm and energy. Finally, a big thank you to all of you who have participated in events and supported the School throughout the year. This year, we have seen record attendance at Founders’ Day, increased numbers of alumni giving to The OES Fund and new activities such as Alumni Wine Tasting. Liza Lilley *74 will become the new President on Saturday, June 18 during the Reunion Weekend Luncheon. I know Liza will be a great President as we celebrate our 125th year!

Weber joined the staff of Bishop Dagwell Hall in 1969, as a math * teacher and later as the head of the Math Department, and succeeded Fred Wood as the head of the Upper School in 1976. Wood remembers him as “one of the kindest and gentlest men I’ve ever known...he was accepting and gentle, and had endless patience. He was a person who would never give up on anyone.” After leav­ ing OES in 1979, Weber went on to teach at both Highland Park Middle School in Beaverton and at Portland Community College’s Sylvania campus.

He loved track and field, and coached a fledgling BDH team, putting in endless hours of coaching and transporting its members to various meets. Upon his retirement from teaching, Ross became a landscape designer and worked with the Hardy Plant Society of Oregon and the American Rhododendron Society.

Every effort enriches our lives and increases the effectiveness of this School. A Letter from the Headmaster Dear Friends, Everyone associated with good schools understands that dedicat­ ed, creative and selfless teachers, a clear and well-articulated mis­ sion, a visionary long range plan, participatory decision-making and appropriate and well-managed resources are vital ingredients in the recipe for effectiveness. I am proud that Oregon Episcopal School enjoys these today. But there is more. Our community is one where women and men, girls and boys come together intentionally, and where students, parents, faculty, staff, trustees, friends and alumni have chosen each other. This choice necessarily brings with it the elements of obligation and service, and ultimately, this spirit of volun­ teerism and the reality of its results makes the fabric of our community tightly-woven. Today, the St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, and Oregon Episcopal School tradition is a tes­ timonial to volunteers and faculty, staff, students and alumni enrich­ ing each others’ lives. The mutual benefits of such a learning com­ munity are as vital as ever, and perhaps even more so. Peter Relic, President of the National Association of Inde­ pendent Schools, tells us that “rarely has this society needed the commitment and the full participa­ tion of the independent school more...” Oregon Episcopal School is a community for those who wish not only the best for children as learners, but also the best for all people as learners. Some, like our teachers and students and me, learn from each other in the class­ rooms, the corridors, the common rooms, our offices and on the ath­ letic field every day. Others, like trustees, parents and friends, learn from their own unique connections to the School community. Ours must be leadership roles among communities of learners, for within our independence lie the ingredi­ ents that create effective education for our students, and for all of us. This issue of The OES Belltower, shared with you on the eve of our 125th Anniversary, celebrates our rich heritage of volunteer service. Our tradition is distinguished by individuals of all ages who have this experience in common, who have brought something of them­ selves to this community, and who have themselves given as much as they have taken away. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 2 Our 125th year: a new campus master plan; a capital funding effort to help it bear fruit; a renewed dedication to the citizens of our 21st century and to their relationships in an ever-shrinking world-community; a celebration of what has served our School’s tra­ dition well; and a clarified vision of what is most promising for those quick and demanding years ahead. Everything is new for Oregon Episcopal School. Everything is new—and yet nothing is new. Sincerely, Peter W. Stevens �CELEBRATING VOLUNTEERISM FOR 125 YEARS WINTER 19 9 4 This year is a very important one for Oregon Episcopal School, and we hope that our cover reflects its significance. /Is we approach our 125th anniversary, and move closer to the goals of OES/21 and our Master Plan, we are supported by the end­ less volunteerism that is alive on our campus and around the country and the world. The faces on our cover are just a few of the many parents, volunteers and alumni who give so much to Oregon Episcopal School.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL At Oregon Episcopal School, exceptional faculty challenge students of unusual promise to reach their highest potential within a tradition distinguished by love, compassion and trust. Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal School is a pre-K tlirough 12. coeducational, independent, college preparatory school in the Episcopal tradition. A full boarding program is offered in grades 9 tlirough 12. Exceptional teachers engage students in small classes that stress participation, creativity and a passion for active learning and living. Within a traditional framework, dynamic programs in the fine and performing arts and atliletics encourage student participation. Located on the Pacific Rim, the School emphasizes global studies and an international outlook. Virtually all graduates attend fine colleges. Responsible citizenship, ethics and community service are important at OES — a School where students are encouraged to reach their fullest potential in a loving and caring environment.

Is that really silk? Don’t those (acupuncture) needles hurt? What did it feel like to be at Tiennamen Square during the uprising? This fall, OES Lower School stu­ dents had the opportunity to ask questions, try new foods and cus­ toms, learn some language basics and get a feel for China in their Global Studies Focus program. According to LS Art Teacher Shelley Staffer, who coordinates the six-week, hands-on program, the goals of learning to understand and appreciate our own and other cultures and to learn to relate responsibly and compassionately to the world around us have remained almost unchanged dur­ ing its six-year cycle. The program began in 1988-89 with China, mov­ ing to Russia, Mexico, Africa and, last year, Australia. Shelley points out that an excerpt from a report of the U.S. Study Commission of Global Education (The United States Prepares for Its Future: Global Perspectives in Education) outlines a list of objec­ tives that echoes the aims of the OES program. For example, the report states that an elementary level program should include "introduction to basic concepts... OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 4 such as interdependence, conflict, context and multiple perspec­ tives.” The OES program aims to teach, as the report also states, that “people of different nations may have different languages, beliefs, laws and holidays, but they are all interconnected.” This year, students explored China with the help of a Chinese ex­ change teacher from Beijing, Dong Jian-Cun (dJee-n tsun). Jian-Cun is an English teacher at Fengtai Teacher Training School who is spending the year at OES through the American Field Service. (See “A conversation with Jian-Cun,” page 6) �WINTER 19 9 4 A Yang Feng, master puppeteer Chinese exercises, Sherry Davis discussing her experiences racing dragon boats, Chinese calligraphy by Jean Choy, Chinese medicine and acupuncture by David Eisen, folk dancing with Heidi Vorst and Liang Chang and personal accounts by Nancy Chan (OES fourth grader Derrick Chan’s honorary grand­ mother), and Jim Staffer, a profes­ sional photographer who witnessed the Tiennamen Square uprising. i A Dong Jian-Cun translated for master puppeteer Yang Feng at an all-Lower School assembly. “\Ne were extremely fortunate to have Jian-Cun with us this year,” said Shelley. “He's amazing. He cooked, taught exercises, demonstrated calligraphy and trans­ lated for Chinese presenters. Even more important, he visited every single classroom to answer ques­ tions and tell stories—often about his family and growing up in China." The uncontested highlight, though, was Yang Feng, a Chinese master puppeteer who shared his incredi­ ble abilities with the entire Lower School. A fifth-generation pup­ peteer, Yang Feng began studying his craft at the age of six and has become known internationally. He came to the United States seeking political asylum, and ultimately became an artist-in-residence at Tears of Joy Theatre. Believing it is also important to draw on resources within the OES community, Shelley organized a schedule of special presentations that included Scott Corris teaching f A At the China kickoff assembly Harvey Zendt played a wrestler and Norene Calkins, Peter Stevens and Donna Cody were the Great Wall of China. 5 A Chinese exchange teacher Dong Jian-Cun demonstrates calligraphy basics.

China has a lot of things to improve with the systems, but we have already achieved a lot in liv­ ing standards and social construc­ tions. A conversation with Dong Jian-Cun The BellTower: How were you chosen to come to the United States? Jian-Cun: In China the American Field Service works through the government. Only 30 teachers may be sent to the U.S.A, and these positions are allotted by province or sometimes smaller divisions such as a city. Candidates must be married and less than 35. Selection depends upon many factors—Can the person be spared? Can the local government cover the cost? I was very fortunate to have been notified of the English proficiency exams by my school (Fengtai Teacher Training School). Only 20 took the exams and only 5 went on. Placement is chosen by AFS. BT: What do you hope to gain from your year here? Jian-Cun: I just want to dip into the ocean of English, to see differ­ ent ways of life, to broaden my horizons—and be productive and helpful. BT: What interests you most? Jian-Cun: I am interested in human life. When I stay with, work with and live with people from quite different backgrounds it is helpful. I am interested in the way [Americans] see the Chinese. It’s interesting to see the mass media’s presentation of civil rights in my country—often they do not have the whole story or take much out of context. I wonder how and why that is.... O R E G O N EPISCOPAL SCHOOL BT: Does that bother you? Jian-Cun: People should be care­ ful when criticizing other people— careful to protect dignity. To [right a wrong in a negative way] is not helpful. It is even more serious for BT: What do you like about life in America? Jian-Cun: I appreciate the person­ al and liberal freedom. I think, though, it depends on how such freedoms are used. Good people benefit, but the bad people equally benefit and make use of the flaws in the system. This is also true in China. BT: Have you had any pleasant surprises? Jian-Cun: I was invited to speak at a regional AFS Conference with Becky Tooley. [Becky is his mentor teacher at OES.] They were very interested in what I had to say. BT: Do you have new ideas about teaching to use back home? Jian-Cun: It is difficult to import a whole system, but some of the principles should be tried. Here students have more chances to do more for themselves. There is more emphasis on using your hands and applying what has been learned. American education is more cre­ ative, less passive. In China, we put more emphasis on knowledge than on learning skills. BT: What about OES? Jian-Cun: I am very happy to be here. The people are so kind and helpful! I have a list of people I want to recognize for their kind- ness to me. But especially for the Thanhouser family—I want to use a Chinese term to describe their nature—huo-dao. Thoughtful, hon­ est, kind and tolerant is as close as I can get, but there is more. I thought for a long time to come up with this word. They have taken such trouble just for my sake.

I am very fortunate. I will cherish this experience my whole life.” During his year at OES, Jian-Cun will work with each division at OES. He also hopes to explore dif­ ferent schools and see as many different kinds of American life as he can squeeze into his ninemonth stay. f ▲ To the delight ofstudents, DongJian-Cun helped teach Chinesefolk dancing. 6 �OES AND ITS VOLUNTEERS: A WELL-RUN PARTNERSHIP WINTER 19 9 4 A Vision of Volunteerism at OES We envision OES as a place where volunteers and staff actively work together to build a cohe­ sive team that models service to others, promoting the OES mission and goals. We envision that this team will promote diversity and inclusivity in our volunteer programs. We also envision that this team will provide an effective volunteer management structure to support our efforts as volunteers so that volunteers can expect: planning for volunteer involvement job descriptions with clear expectations and time commitments clearly defined lines of communication adequate training qualified supervision adequate records and recognition In all things our focus will be to provide the best possible education for our children. B < olunteers at OES now have \ f even more to gain from the it extra hours they dedicate to the School than the satisfaction of helping out. In fact, if Anne Thanhouser and the other coordina­ tors of The Volunteers’ Common Link have their way, each volunteer will have an impressive addition to their resume. “We want to help our volunteers develop skills, and enhance the skills they already have,” says Thanhouser. “That’s the way you satisfy volunteers, by challenging them and letting them learn.” ▲ The Annual Lower School Picnic is one of the many activities orga­ nized by OES volunteers. Now in its third year of operation, The Volunteers' Common Link orga­ nizes many school-wide activities, including the Lower School Picnic, Grandparents’ and Special Friends' Day, the Book Fair, Parent Education and the annual Upper School graduation party. Most significant to the OES com­ munity has been VCL’s recent evo­ lution into an organization that is run with an unusual amount of planning and which attempts to include everyone. In addition to a large pop­ ulation of volunteer parents, its structure includes an overall chair­ person (Anne Thanhouser), a chair of volunteers, a secretary, treasurer and volunteer office coordinator, chairpersons of the Lower, Middle and Upper School divisions, volun­ teer coordinators from each Parent Association Link, along with the heads of the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools, the headmaster and the director of development. If this seems to be a somewhat confusing hierarchy, it is neverthe­ less making volunteering at OES a very valuable and efficient experi­ ence, Thanhouser says, because representatives from each sector of the school are, quite literally, always working together and sharing infor­ mation. “We want to enhance the sense of community at OES and make sure that there are spaces available for everybody to be involved," she says. While Oregon Episcopal School has always had a strong spirit of vol­ unteerism on its campus, The Volunteers’ Common Link has ambi­ tious plans to create consistency in its programs, the ways it recognizes its volunteers and its style of volun­ teer management. The organization is creating this consistency through the use of a newly-established computer data­ base which includes the names of all the volunteers, their history of volun­ teering, their current duties and skills and how many hours they’re working. "We can act as a resource for 7 them if they are job-hunting,” Thanhouser points out. The Volunteers’ Common Link has been streamlining their organization in other ways, as well. This year they conducted training sessions for their chief coordinators, recruited volun­ teers school-wide, and have been compiling a recorded history of all volunteer activities held on campus and what has worked for volunteer organizers and what has not. At the end of this year, Thanhouser says, VCL will conduct a needs assessment based on what has been accomplished over the past year. All of these moves towards con­ sistency will improve the environ­ ment for volunteers, Thanhouser hopes, and make people feel “wel­ come and needed." “We have tremendously talented people in this community," she says. “OES is very fortunate. We just need to be able to ask and to know how to ask.” ▲ Karen Grauert, mother of thirdgrader Hans and fifth-graderJulie, is part of the Lower School Parent Association Link.

The Lundgren and South Families When Kim and Reidun Lundgren were faced with busing their children too many miles from their home in Camp Sherman, they simply moved to Portland and enrolled them at Oregon Episcopal School. The catch is that they still commute home to Camp Sherman on the weekends. “It seemed natural that we would send the children here," Reidun explains. The Lundgrens’ son Tor attended OES for the eighth and ninth grade, and is now in boarding school on the East Coast. Kari, the Lundgrens’ daughter, is an eighth grader at OES. Part of what is “natural” about the Lundgrens’ sacrifice is that Kari happens to be the grand­ daughter and grandniece of St. Helens Hall graduates, and the cousin and classmate of John and Kristina South, who are in the fifth and sixth grade. Kari, John and Kristina are the grandchildren of Evelyn Zehntbauer Lundgren ‘32 and their great-aunt Elizabeth ▲ Elizabeth Zehntbauer Zehntbauer Inman graduated Inman '3d in her St. Helens from the hall in 1934. Halt graduation photo. When Evelyn and Elizabeth Zehntbauer attended St. Helens Hall in the 1930’s, “SHH was simply the best school to go to—there was no comparison,” says Evelyn, who attended the School from the ninth through the twelfth grade and graduated in 1932. “It was the best edu­ cation I ever had, even better than college at the University of Oregon.” Elizabeth attended the Hall from the seventh through the When Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris founded St. Helens Hall in 1869, he could hardly have anticipat­ ed its remarkable evolution over the following years. Along with the world, which saw the invention of the tele­ phone, the first internal combustion engine, the first manned flight by airplane, television, the nuclear bomb, the first man on the moon and the laptop computer, the school that was St. Helens Hall and is now Oregon Episcopal School has under­ gone many changes. Its student body has evolved from single­ sex to coeducational, it has been housed on four campuses and it has held five different names. Through all of these changes, however, Oregon Episcopal School in 1994 retains many of the values and traditions of St. Helens Hall in 1869. As Sally Reed Stout *30 said in her history of the School, The First Century: “...the remarkable characteris­ tic of St. Helen’s Hall was the quality of the school, the superior educational, moral and religious aspect of the instruction." It is the endurance of these qualities even today, in its 125th anniversary year, that contributes to the loyalty of its alumni body. That loyalty is displayed in many ways, ranging from financial contributions to volunteer service. One of the most touching and lasting ways by which alumni show their support and devotion to the School, however, is by sending their own children here. A legacy is defined as some­ thing of value that is handed on to others. Our legacy families, some of whom have members who attended, at different times, St. Helens Hall, the Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School, embody the strength and resilience of our School. 8 �1914 Fire sweeps the School at its Vista-St. Clair address. Only the south wing remains but classes continue to be held and boarders arc housed in an Episcopal residence on 19th and Everett. 1918 The decision is made to lease the old Portland Academy building on 13th and Hall Streets and use this location as the site for the elementary and high school. 1919 St. Helens Hall cele­ brates its 50th anniversary, staging an elaborate pageant in honor of the occasion. 1921 The Board of Trustees of St. Helens Hall decide to purchase the 13th and Hall property, and the grounds are developed and improved. 1924 An official school uni­ form is required for all St. Helens Hall students for the first time. ▲ St Helens Hall occupied ivycovered buildings at their 13th and Hall sitefor almost fifty years.

Today, Evelyn and Elizabeth say it is wonderful that Kari, John and Kristina can attend what was their own school. Jill Lundgren South, John and Kristina's mother, says that public school was adequate for John during his first two years of school, but as his classes grew in size, she and her husband Jay began to look at private schools in Portland. “When John visited OES, he loved it,” Jill remembers. “He made friends the first day he visited, and couldn’t wait to hear if he had been accepted.” John was accepted, and has attended OES since the second grade. He is now in the sixth grade and enjoys the humanities projects his class has been involved in this year, including a study of Japan and the creation of cornhusk dolls for a project on Mexico. Jill and Jay South enrolled John’s sister Kristina in the first grade, and she is now a fifth grader who loves art and drama. She recently played the part of a Chinese announcer in The Little Key and the Serpent, a play put on in the Lower School. Kari Lundgren, like her cousins, loves OES. “I like humanities a lot. We are learning about government and the legislature right now,” she says. “When we learned about Russia we also 1930 Everglade, a house on Lake Oswego, is purchased to be used for recreational activities for the girls from the Hall.

When asked about her status as a legacy, and how it feels to know that she is going to the same school where her grand­ mother and great-aunt attended classes and daily chapel sixty years ago, Kari is enthusiastic. “I always knew that Grandma went here, but then one day I saw her graduation picture in the School, and I guess it really clicked,” she says. “I think it’s really special.” The Workman Family Harriet Banfield Workman attended St. Helens Hall in the 1930’s and took daily riding lessons at the Nicol Riding Academy, not knowing that it would someday be the new site of her school where her own children and grandchildren would attend many years later. "I had to study awfully hard," she says, remembering her days at the Hall. “I also remember being scared to death of the nuns. I was called into Mother Superior’s office one day and I didn’t think I would make it!" Harriet attended St. Helens Hall for the eighth and ninth grades. She remembers performing A Midsummer’s Night Dream in a gar­ den on the 13th and Hall campus, and participating in the daily chapel services.

The Hall is given a deadline of June 1964 to leave their 13th and Hall address. The Board of Trustees of St. Helens Hall purchases thirty-two acres of land in Raleigh Hills, which had formerly been the site of the Nicol Riding Academy. The cross above the chapel, the brass school bell and the School’s cornerstone are moved to the site of the new campus. 1965 Bishop Dagwell Hall, a “companion school” to St. Helens Hall, is established.

Her favorite subject, she says, is Japanese, because “it’s fun to write and talk in a differ­ ent way than we usually do.” The Workmans recently hosted a Japanese exchange student who was Jennifer’s age, and are considering doing it again. Elizabeth goes to extended care every Thursday, during which the children cook something different every week. She says she also loves music and Jellybean Math (an example of the handson approach of OES). “We had heard about OES, of course, because Mark and his family had gone there,” Leslie says. “We knew that it was a very good school.” Leslie and Mark appreciate the experiential nature of OES— learning by doing—and that on all grade levels the curriculum integrates all part of the child. They also emphasize their belief in the talents of the faculty. When the Workmans recently had a death in the family, the girls’ teachers wrote to Leslie not only to express their sympathy, but to let her know that they would keep an eye on Christina, Jennifer and Elizabeth. “All of the teachers are wonderful, special people,” says Leslie. “We’re very happy that the girls can be here.” 1 10 1968 St. Helens Hall and Bishop Dagwcll Hall accept the umbrella name of Oregon Episcopal Schools, but remain separate institu­ tions.

Alumni, students, parents and friends join for a Centennial banquet, with Governor Tom McCall as the master of ceremonies. The Dean of the National Cathedral, The Very Rev. Frances B. Sayre, is the Centennial speaker. The Drinkward Family One of the most visible and timeless symbols of St. Helens Hall, the Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School has always been the brass bell that was brought around Cape Horn by Bishop Morris and Miss Mary Rodney and installed on the first campus of St. Helens Hall. Although the location and name of the School have changed, the bell has followed and continues to be rung every day. One of the School's legacy families, the Drinkwards, have seen to it that its most recent installation will be permanent. “Several of us on the Board of Trustees noticed that the old tower was getting very decrepit,” says Cecil Drinkward, who is not only a former Board of Trustees president but a past parent and current grandparent. "Allie Zimmer-Harmon ‘76 designed a new belltower and we were very pleased with it, so we decided to do it.” Funded by the Drinkward family, the new belltower was dedicated on November 1, 1991. The Drinkward family has been directly connected to the School for twenty years. In the early 1970’s, Sally and Cecil Drinkward enrolled their son Bill at OES in the first grade, and his sister Marilyn was enrolled in the pre-kindergarten program at the age of three. "OES seemed to have a well-structured school pro­ gram, and what really impressed me when we first looked was that the children were encouraged to care about each other,” says Sally.

In fact, it only increased our commitment.” Bill and Marilyn continued through the Lower, Middle and Upper Schools at OES and graduated in 1985 and 1988. Bill remembers that he did consider leaving OES to go to a public school. “I was always a little ▲ Ruth Hopper Ballin '38, pictured here in her bit curious about what public school would be like, but after visiting some graduation photo, is the grandmother of Dan, schools I realized that I would never David and James experience the same kind of close­ Drinkward, current stu­ ness and community that OES had. dents at OES in the At OES, if you were motivated, you eleventh, ninth and fifth would have the opportunity to do grades, respectively. almost anything, even if you weren’t extremely talented."

The act of competing or emulating. 2. The state or condition of being a rival. There are those rare moments in life when you know you have reached the pinnacle. For the OES varsity girls soccer team, beating The Catlin Gabel School in the State 3A/2A/1A Soccer Championship was one of those moments. In a season marked by a record of 12 wins, one tie and only two losses (the tie and one of the losses to Catlin), OES arrived at the state soc­ cer championship with high hopes and the knowledge that, if they won, they would do much to defend and preserve their long-standing rivalry with their foe, Catlin Gabel. FALL PLAY FEATURES OES TALENT In the scoreless first half, Catlin outshot the Aardvarks 7-1, but the OES girls came back to outshoot the Eagles 10-6. With only 19 min­ utes left in the game, freshman Mandy Stewart made a successful header, and OES won the game 1-0. Coach Van Hatcher had moved Stewart from defender to forward as the team entered the playoffs, a move that paid off in her four playoff goals. “Winning the championship is extra satisfying when you beat Catlin Gabel,” said Kris Van Hatcher. Van Hatcher was named 1993-94 Coach of the Year for OSAA's District 1. OES tenth grader Ashley Berman was named the League’s Most Valuable Player and the State 3A/2A/1A Player of the Year. The 1993-94 OES State Soccer Champions are Lacie Hickey, Mandy Stewart, Amy Wilson, Ashley Berman, Amy Greene, Alyssa Gregg, Courtney Kaempf, Larisa Meisenheimer, Andy Orfanakis, Sara Seeley, Sierra Snyder, Lillian Choi, Heather Laird, Britta Mauritz and Margaret Spring. The OES Great Hall might as well have been a Broadway stage in November, when a cast of Upper and Middle School students performed a musical theatre production of Working. Based on the book by Studs Terkel, the play is a series of monologues and musical numbers about various people and their occupations. The musical provided an ideal opportunity to showcase the talents of 19 OES students, many of whom have been involved with music and drama since entering the School. With a complicated stageset consisting of moving panels which opened to reveal characters and room enough for all 19 castmembers to appear simultaneously, the play was impressive in its transitions from indi­ vidual monologues to group numbers complete with dancing. Working was directed by OES music teacher Barb Vardanega and performing and fine arts teacher Jack O’Brien, and featured live accom­ paniment by art teacher Sue Jensen and members of the OES Jazz Band. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The All-School production of The Man Who Came To Dinner, directed by Upper School Chaplain and history teacher Corbet Clark and Upper School Humanities teacher Debby Schauffler and featuring a cast of faculty, staff, students and even a board member or two, is scheduled for February 9 through 12. 16 �Teacher recognized for fostering service learning OES Middle School GAU\ (Government and Language Arts) teacher Alice Simpson received a 1993 Distinguished Alumni Citation Award from Willamette University in recognition for her contributions in the area of community service. The award was presented on October 2, at the Alumni Banquet during the University’s homecom­ ing festivities in Salem. Alice, who was honored along with four other Willamette alumni, including a genetic research scientist and a national museum curator, says, “I see this as a recognition of the importance of teaching—of the influence that teaching has on the world.” As the driving force behind OES Middle School programs Project Transcend and City School, Alice champions the essence of experi­ ential education. “I call it moving education out into the community,” she says. “You talk about it in the classroom and then you go do it. You come back and discuss what you’ve learned. It’s a cycle. It’s real.” Project Transcend, which originat­ ed with Fernwood, Sellwood and Beaumont Middle Schools in Portland and OES, along with Self Enhancement, Inc., brings stu­ dents from OES and public inner city schools together for anti-dis­ crimination and leadership training. City School pairs students with civic and business leaders in a mentor program aimed at finding solutions to city-wide problems. In addition to her responsibilities at OES, Alice is executive director of Youth Today, Inc. She also chairs a sub-committee of a state-wide advisory committee on service learning. Under Secretary of State Phil Keisling, this committee is organizing a service learning con­ ference, exploring President Clinton’s National Service Trust WINTER 19 9 4 fr- • B ▲ Alice Simpson and OES tenth graders Cathy Huynh, Matt Slater and Cameron Stewart were among those present at Governor Roberts' State-ofAddress speech to the City Club in January 1993Act, discussing the role and func­ tion of a planned Oregon State Commission on Community Service and beginning to establish a State community service mission and plan. Alice plans to involve OES Middle and Upper School students in her committee as it works to increase the availability and improve the quality of citizen­ ship education and leadership training for young Oregonians. ■ Service learning lets children experience the reward of helping others, thus improving quality of life. ■ Service learning helps students connect different worlds—beyond OES—to see not just in black and white. ■ In today’s world, kids some­ times struggle to be needed. Meaningful service projects can fill that need. Why service learning? Once known as “work service" or sometimes "community service,” service learning is an intrinsic part of the OES curriculum. ■ Service is a tradition of culture in the United States. Participating allows students to become part of that tradition. In the fall, Director of Project Service Leadership Kate McPherson led a short workshop for faculty and staff that explored the basic premises of service learning and why it is so valuable. During the session, participants created the following lists of bene­ fits directly resulting from service to others. ■ Service to others expands student understanding of complex issues. ■ Working together to help others enhances student/teacher relation­ ships. ■ As an instructional tool, service in the form of teaching others averaged a 90% retention rate compared to 50% for discussion group and 10% for reading.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 17 �WINTER 19 9 4 June Dunbar Phillips, M.D., class of ‘51 9 receives Distinguished Alumni Award "ByT y father always said, “Brighten IVA the corner where you are.” A few years ago I was making rounds in a convalescent hospital and I saw one of my geriatric patients. She was a little old lady sitting in a corner. She didn’t know me or her relatives, or what she had for breakfast, but she smiled a bright smile and said, “My, you look nice today.” Well, that really made me feel good and later I saw a high school student volunteer­ ing at the hospital, and I said what a nice job she was doing for the patients and that she should really consider going into service work, improving the world. I found out later that she started a small club at her high school called the We Help Club: A few students would try to do help­ ful things for neighborhoods, the ecology, etc. One of the group went on to college and became a profes­ sor and lecturer in world ecology. One of his students was so motivat­ ed by his lectures and dedication that he has recently begun the long hard task of harnessing moving par­ ticles to make energy which would have no harmful waste products and would solve forever the world’s ener­ gy problem. What he doesn’t know is that it all started with a little old lady sitting in the corner. A fellow classmate of June Dunbar Phillips ‘51 wrote in her yearbook the year June graduated: “You’ve always been. . an example of the Hall. Even before I came here I heard of you and the type of girl you were [and] it was one of the things that made me decide to come to St. Helens Hall.” Forty-two years later, one cannot help but suspect that June Dunbar Phillips has received similar acco­ lades throughout her life. A 1951 graduate of St. Helens Hall, this self-professed “lonely girl from Nome, Alaska” is now an eminent physician with a string of accom­ plishments that would have made her SHH headmistresses, Miss Robison and Miss Saxton, very proud. Adding to her long list of achieve­ ments, June Dunbar Phillips was awarded the 1993-94 Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Disting­ uished Alumni Award, which was presented to her at the annual Founder’s Day luncheon held in November at Portland’s Multnomah Athletic Club. Phillips, who is known profession­ ally as Dr. June Dunbar, is the medical director of the Crestwood Convalescent Hospital and spe­ cializes in geriatric medicine while holding prominent positions in vari­ ous medical societies and assocations. She has been the first woman to hold several positions in her field, among them chief of staff at the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital. Asked how her experiences at St. Helens Hall influenced her acade­ mic and career choices after grad­ uation, Dr. Dunbar admits “Well, I knew I liked science, people and art. I told my parents that I would try pre-med, and if I didn’t like it, I’d try art. Well, as it turned out I liked pre-med.” “The wonderful thing about St. Helens Hall was that it made you reach out and do your very best in all areas,” she added. “College almost seemed easy by comparison!" —Excerpt from Dr.June Dunbar Phillips Founder’s Day address November 17, 1993 Founder’s Day Luncheon t' OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL A Dr. June Dunbar 51 was reunited with her SHH basketball coach, Helga Daret, at the Founder’s Day lun­ cheon.

Dr Dunbar attended the University of Colorado, and graduated from the University of Washington Medical School in 1958. She was an intern for Minneapolis General Hospital and completed her family practice residency at Monterey County Hospital in Salinas, California. Dr. Dunbar has fond memories of her two years as a dorm student at the Hall, although she says it was a difficult adjustment. She was fif­ teen when she arrived, just after her sister Bonnie Dunbar Hahn graduated with the class of ‘49. “Coming from Nome wasn’t easy. I was used to going fishing and doing all kinds of outdoor things that I couldn’t do around the School,” she remembers. “I cried every night for three months." because so many of the girls in the dorm came from difficult family backgrounds,” June remembers. “People trusted me and confided in me, for some reason, and I have kept many of their secrets to this day.” June also remembers many of the traditions at St. Helens Hall, which was then located at its downtown Portland 13th Avenue and Hall Street site. The students attended chapel every morning, for which they would don blue head cover­ ings. She remembers that on Sunday evenings, the cook’s night off, each class would take turns preparing dinner. One of her fond- WINTER 19 9 4 Sports—particularly basketball and fencing—were among June’s extracurricular passions while at St. Helens Hall, and her former basketball coach Helga Daret attended the Founders’ Day lun­ cheon to see June receive the alumni award.

June says she also keeps in touch with Betty Coats Sherif and Nancy Lee, both of the class of ‘51. Dr. Dunbar addressed geriatrics and the health consequences of tobacco in her Founder’s Day address. She lives in Salinas, California, with her husband of 30 years, retired neurosurgeon John P. Phillips, M.D. They have three sons: Todd, a police officer in Gonzales, California, Timothy, a medical student at the University of Tennessee and Tyler, a Stanford University student. “I always had very high morals and high goals, and I felt very fortunate ft & *■. ▲ June Dunbar Phillips 51 enjoyed seeing classmates Ann Butterfield Hayes 51.

In the event that we do not take it upon ourselves to establish an estate plan, the state we live in will establish one when we die. However, it is unlikely that the plan the state sets up will provide for our own special wishes. In designing an estate plan, it is often helpful to consider two types of beneficiaries: the people we most care for, and those causes and institutions that have touched our lives. We can then develop an estate plan that will maximize the provi­ sions we wish to make for those people and organizations. We invite you to consider Oregon Episcopal School in your estate plan. You can do this most simply through an outright bequest of cash, real estate or other assets. Or you may pre­ fer a Residuary Bequest represented by a certain percentage of the remainder of your estate, after payment of specific amounts bequeathed to other beneficiaries. It is also possible to designate OES as the beneficiary of the remainder of an IRA, KEOGH, tax-sheltered annuity, qualified pension or profit-sharing plan (retirement plans that remain in an estate often are subject to both state and income taxes when received by the heirs.) Whatever method one may choose to make an estate provision for OES, what matters most is the difference we are able to make in the lives and learning experiences of tomorrow’s students. Through the provision of endowed scholarships or teaching endowments—even a permanent fund to maintain some portion of the campus—we are able to have a lasting impact of future generations. We would be happy to explore these possibilities with you.

As we enter our 124th year, and as we introduce this issue of The BeUTower which includes The Mustard Seed, our Annual Report for 1992-93, I’d like to comment on three different aspects of OES/21, and about progress and promise. First, enrollment. OES/21 had envi­ sioned that the optimum size for OES in our current facilities, with some modest improvements, would be about 710 students spread over grades PK through 12. At the time, we enrolled about 666. We would remain small and viable division by division, and class by class. I am very pleased to report to you that this September we open our doors with about 700 students in attendance. We have been blessed not only with extraordinary num­ bers of applicants at all levels, but also with applicants of consistently the highest quality we have ever had, at all levels. Second, faculty and compensation. At the heart of OES is our faculty. You have told us that it has always been thus, at St. Helens Hall, at Bishop Dagwell Hall, at Oregon Episcopal School. Recognizing this, our Board of Trustees has responded with a ringing endorse­ ment of the faculty by identifying faculty compensation as one of its two principal priorities in OES/21. We can no longer assume that the difference in teaching climate in independent schools offers enough “psychic salary” to replace the up to 30% differential between teach­ ing here and teaching in an area public school. Third is the Board of Trustees’ other priority: buildings and facili­ ties. OES/21 identified four major areas where the OES of the 21st Century needs attention: libraries, science and computer, fine and performing arts and gymnasium. As a way of tackling the issues, the Board requested a look at our Middle School, challenging us to provide a superior home for each division for the next century. Therefore, the Buildings and Grounds Committee is hard at work with an architect to update the decade-old Master Plan, with results due at Christmastime. As The Mustard Seed looks back a year, OES/21 looks ahead. This will be another exciting year. Come visit us, and see first-hand how vibrant, purposeful and effective education can be. Sincerely, I. Peter W. Stevens OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 2 �AUTUMN 19 9 3 Cathedral to move “in name only” At the end of 1993, the title of Cathedral will pass from St. John the Baptist at OES to Trinity Parish in downtown Portland. “The change is primarily one of titles,” explains The Right Rev. Robert L. Ladehoff, Bishop of Oregon, in a statement. “When Trinity becomes the Cathedral, the present Cathedral will become the Parish of St. John the Baptist. [The Very Rev. Roy Coulter] will become Rector of the parish. The Chapter will become its Vestry. I see no significant change in their responsibilities.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL At Oregon Episcopal School, exceptional faculty challenge students of unusual promise to reach their highest potential within a tradition distinguished by love, compassion and trust. Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal Schhol is a pre-K through 12, coeducational, independent, college preparatory school in the Episcopal tradition. A full boarding program is offered in grades 9 through 12. Exceptional teachers engage students in small classes that stress participation, creativity and a passion for active learning and living. Within a traditional framework, dynamic programs in the fine and performing arts and athletics encourage student participation. Located on the Pacific Rim, the School emphasizes global studies and an international outlook. Virtually all graduates attend fine colleges. Responsible citizenship, ethics and community service are important at OES — a School where students are encouraged to reach their fullest potential in a loving and caring environment.

It is very important to me that this change take place in a way that will not weaken the life and ministry of this congregation,” says the Bishop. The Parish of St. John the Baptist will remain on the Oregon Episcopal School campus. The ceremony for the long-planned transfer, which is intended to return the Cathedral to the “center” of life in the Diocese, will take place at Trinity during the Dio­ cesan Convention on November 19. During the service Dean Coulter who is currently Dean of the Cathedral, will be named Dean of the Diocese, and The Rev. Bud Thurston will become Dean of Trinity Cathedral. The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist traces its origins to St. Stephen’s Chapel, a congregation affiliated with (then) St. Stephen’s Cathedral in downtown Portland. The congregation originally met in the St. Helens Hall School build­ ings, and when construction of the church was completed in 1967, moved into its current loca­ tion. It was consecrated the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in January 1973. According to Dean Coulter, “When St. Helens Hall moved to Raleigh Hills, Bishop Carmen caught a vision that the School, the Cathedral, the offices of the Bishop and a Diocesan conference center would come to coexist on the School campus, and that it would become the hub of the Diocese — a center for administra­ tion, education and spiritual life.” Although the Cathedral moved to Raleigh Hills as planned, the offices of the Bishop could not move due to the terms of a be­ quest, and there was already a conference center established at Gerhardt on the Coast. The Schools were built — St. Helens Hall and Bishop Dagwell Hall which merged into Oregon Episcopal School in 1972 — and continued to expand. By the time the issue was re-examined, the campus was full. Over the years, the relationship between the School and the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist has grown and prospered. “We share space and staff,” says Dean Coulter. Many members of the Cathedral have children in school at OES, and many OES families join the congregation. Teachers, too. Many OES alumni are active in the parish. We share trustees and chapter members.” “I wished the transfer to take place while I am still in active ministry [not after retirement as was origi­ nally suggested], so that I could pastor the congregation through the transition," says Dean Coulter. “I believe God has great things in store for this parish, and I am excited about it. And, by the way, I do not have any plans for retirement at this time."

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 3 �AUTUMN 19 9 3 When done well, teaching is an art in itself; when the teacher is an artist, both aspects — teaching and art — thrive, each enhanced by the other. OES Students in the Performing and Fine Arts Department are fortunate to work with artists who have taken their indi­ vidual skills into the classroom environment. In this issue of The BellTower, we’d like to introduce you to four of the artist/teachers at OES. We look forward to intro­ ducing the other department members in a future issue. tilts as teachers OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 4 Jack O’Brien, Upper School Drama and Art ‘‘It is exciting and rewarding to have so many members of the Performing and Fine Arts Department active professionally. It adds dimension and perspective,” says Jack who is the department chair. “Artists who are teachers interact with the professional community, relate information first hand, put their own work before the public and give students access to professional contacts.” Jack, who has been teaching stage­ craft at OES since 1982, recently earned his MFA in Scenic Design from the University of Portland. He originally developed his craft through reading books and “jumping in". When he decided to pursue an advanced degree, he felt theatre was the perfect avenue, offering varied opportunities to learn and grow as a professional. “One of the goals I set for myself was to try to break into the profession­ al field. Fortunately, Portland theatre is small enough that word gets around." It seems that word travels particularly fast when a designer has talent — only two years after entering the Portland scene, Jack received a “Drammy" nomination, Portland's equivalent of the Tony Award, for Best Set Design. This September, three different shows with sets designed by Jack will open in the Portland area, and the divi­ dends of his involvement will continue to pay off for OES students. “When I take students to plays, I can introduce them to the actors, technicians and directors and let them walk all over the set...without having to worry that they'll get yelled at. “Back in class, we can talk about what I’m doing, and I can give them a sense of the teamwork that’s needed. To be a good actor, you need to understand the whole process. To be a good technician, you have to under­ stand the actor's perspective. I can relate my experiences to our study of theatre. Art isn’t simply what I do, it's who lam.” �AUTUMN 19 9 3 I Sue Jensen Matt Lyon Shelley Stoffer Upper School Art Middle School Art Lower School Art The creation of beauty is an inescapable part of Sue Jensen’s life. In addition to teaching Graphic Arts, Paper Arts, Photography and Art Trek, a multi-media art class unique to OES, Sue is a member of the nationally rec­ ognized Portland Baroque Orchestra and Director of Music for St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church in Gresham. “The Episcopal church has a long tradition of valuing the arts — music, architecture, sculpture. They realized long ago that beauty is an important part of the soul." Like the other members of the Performing and Fine Arts Department, Sue believes it is really important to give kids opportunities to display their art and play their music. “Take last year’s OMSI Salmon display, for example. They knew it was the real thing. Those kids will never forget that experience." For Sue, performing is one way she shares the beauty in her world with others. Though the congregation at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist were saddened by Sue’s departure, after 11 years as organist, they've been able to share in the joy of her success with the Portland Baroque Orchestra. Sue, who has played the harpsichord since college, is thrilled by “the fact that you can make money playing 300year old music.” Sue is able to bring this music back to life. “I love it because it’s outra­ geous, expressive...yet, at the same time, expressive and rhythmic. Actually, it's very similar to Jazz in its rhythm and opportunities for improvising.” Whether rehearsing with PBO, accompanying the OES Choir or guiding students in the creation of a piece, Sue adamantly believes art must be shared at all levels with all people. “Money doesn’t mean you are culturally rich. You don’t have to have money to appreciate beauty. It’s a matter of education and exposure and attaching value." Matt Lyon personifies the image many people have of an artist — creative, introspective, a man who expresses his artistic talents in varied mediums...from restoring vintage motorcycles to re-creating prehistoric bowls and figurines. “I originally became interested in ceramics as a student at Lewis & Clark when I saw a large book of Jomon pottery," explains Matt, who earned his MAT from Lewis and Clark and his BA in Art History from Williams College. Despite his interest in Jomon pottery and Haniwa figurines, it took a trip to Japan to focus his creative juices on ceramics. “I really got interested in pottery when I visited the Tokyo Museum dur­ ing a Shukutoku trip. That trip had some amazing off-shoots for me." Indeed, Matt has already had a number of shows and is looking forward to at least three more in the coming months. “Creating art to show publicly is something real. My students get to see the reality of preparing for a show — the nitty gritty details.” In sharing his experiences with his students, Matt believes he has an opportunity to make art “more real" to his students. “All assignments are designed to teach the components of art and design — line, shape, color and the value of texture. When I first began teaching,” Matt recalls, "I started the year with a specific set of exercises. I learned it works much better to move things around, so no one gets bored." To accomplish this, Matt is committed to getting his students into the studio as quickly as possible. "There is always some sort of introduc­ tion at the beginning of class, but art is a ‘hands-on’ affair." “I remember the first ceramic piece I ever made. I was five years old and it was a molded chick that I got to put glaze on and take home. I’ll never for­ get that feeling." Shelley Stoffer, who earned a BA in art education with an emphasis on cer­ amics from the University of Oregon, teaches art to children in Primary through fifth grade. “My career as a ceramic artist really began in college with a clay class.” In her first job, Shelley designed exhibits at OMSI. After a period of teaching school in New York City, she returned to Portland and helped create the clay program at the Children’s Museum. She then moved to Artists in Education, first as a coordinator, then as an artist. She came to OES eight years ago. Throughout, Shelley continued to work in clay — porcelain almost exclu­ sively — exhibiting locally, nationally and internationally, including shows in Japan. “I like to push it as hard as I can," she says describing her work. Her last show, held at the Graystone Gallery in 1992, was a series of painted platters inspired by Oregon land­ scapes. “I work with lots of natural forms and rhythms — leafy, grassy, wavy. It feels right. It excites me. It's the way I see the world. “In the classroom, I don't have to be theoretical. It’s all first person. I can share from my experience in the studio. I remember what it’s like to be a child and visually connected to the world." She explains why she’s always loved working with kids and clay. “I need their enthusiasm, ideas, whimsy and playfulness. It’s invigorating for me. And for them — I encourage their playfulness. I firmly believe that teach­ ing art, especially for young children, should be non-judgemental. There's a language of design, yes. But there's no right, no wrong.” "It's the little things that give life beauty...my job is to help them see.” 5 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 19 9 3 Oregon Episcopal School and The Catlin Gabel School joined efforts to offer a program that pre­ pares Portland mid­ dle school students for the demands of rigorous high schools and colleges that began in June 1993. This year Summer­ bridge Portland served approximately 40 diverse, high- potential seventh grade students from schools around the city. The Portland project is co-directed by Ed Liu of OES and Summerbridge Portland embarks into new territory A student’s view — My first week at Summerbridge was full of surprises. The surprise that most effected me was how nice everyone was. I was surprised at how much homework we had. I mean, that’s what I do when I get home; I do homework, period. I was surprised by my schedule. I got to learn what I wanted to learn, not what other people wanted me to learn. I was surprised that everyone knew my name. That was a very pleasant surprise I was surprised at how early we had to wake up. But I am not saying that is all bad. There’s a good side, too. (I’ll tell you when I think of it.) I was surprised how small the classes were. There’s only two people in my math class. At [my school], there’s 24! I was surprised at the warm greetings we get everyday as we get off the bus. And the warm goodbyes as we leave. That was a very pleasant surprise. I was surprised at how short the day felt! It felt shorter than my regular school day, even though it was two hours longer. I guess time does fly when you’re having fun. I was surprised that there were no dull classes! The Summerbridge classes are short and sweet! I was surprised at how many games we played, and how fun they all were. Finally, I was surprised at how every staff member puts in 12 hours a day for my education. This was the most pleasant surprise of them all. — Jamie, a rising seventh grader, participating in Summerbridge Portland.

I was sent to New Orleans so I could help start up Summerbridge Portland in ‘93. As a second year staff I was put in more of a leadership role because I already knew the ropes. I am on the “A-Team” which is the administration committee. We meet twice a day and deal with logistics. June 18, 93 Today was the first day of staff orientation. I met the last two staff members that I hadn’t met yet — Mike Doran and Ralina Landwehr. It’s nice to already know the local staff, A-Team members, and the people who came in yes­ terday. Jenny Lovejoy from San Francisco is staying at my house. She is very friendly and I think we will get along fine. ATeam greeted everyone with a really corny song. I wonder what they thought of us? I think the best part of my day was having a long talk with Oye. We talked about my growing up in Summerbridge, high school, college, and thinking styles. I really trust him because he seems willing to go out on a limb for me. He told me that he knew last summer when he saw me teach in New Orleans that I would be a good teacher. I asked him why he put me on A-Team when I was only in high school. He said that it seemed like the most logical step for me in my Summerbridge expe­ rience. I feel better about being the only high schooler on A-team now because I know that I have Oye’s 100% support. Kirsten Martens, who will be a Junior at Oregon Episcopal School, just completed her second summer as June 20, 93 Yesterday we all went on the OES ropes course. I especially liked the challenge where we had four “blind” people who didn’t know what was going on, including me, and four "mute” people who did know what was going on. Our challenge was to swing across about ten feet of ground to a platform and have everyone standing on it. I felt like I was on a big adventure because I had no idea what it was I was supposed to do because, of course, the mute people couldn't tell. It was exciting to swing on the rope because I had no idea how high up I was. a Summerbridge June 23, 93 Summerbridge is going well, but it is exhausting. I feel really connected with people.

People are working hard; this is a group full of perfectionists. her “amazing June 28, 93 Today was the first day the kids came and it was very interesting to see their reaction to being crowned like Max in Where the Wild Things Are. My classes were okay but not as good as I had hoped that they would be. The first day is always hard because it’s difficult to balance the getting to know each other games and real academic work. Before they came in the classroom I had hidden numbers on note cards all over the room and they had to find them and play a game with them. My second period class is all girls and they seemed really nervous. However my third period class is wild. They already all knew each other because they came from the same Writing Through Literature double period class. addition to meet­ June 29, 93 I did an activity with fractions where I threw a whole box of pens on the floor. It was a better way for them to understand the definition of “fraction” than having me write it on the board and having them memorize it. I was so happy I almost cried when Valinda, my student, said "Math is different here at Summerbridge, and I like it.” Yesterday, she told me that she didn’t like math. July 1, 93 My classes were great today and so was my soccer minicourse. (Actually it’s also Mike's minicourse.) We work really well together, and the kids seem to enjoy soccer because many of them come early, running at full speed down the hill. In my math classes I played a factor game — students against teacher. It was great to watch and listen to them plot against me. I had fun pretending to be very upset that they beat me. teacher. She says that Summer­ bridge has given opportunities'1. In ing her teaching and administrative responsibilities, Kirsten has spo­ ken to the Catlin and OES Boards as a representa­ tive and acted as an admissions officer for the program. July 2, 93 Today was Spirit Day, a time for clubs to present their names in a skit and a chant. A-Team members don’t have a club so we did a rap instead. I never thought that I would see myself rap, but I had a lot of fun. Theresa and I had our pants down really low, shirts around our waists, and backwards hats on our heads. We practiced outside, and it was funny because the kids were spying on us through their classroom windows. Every morning we greet the buses and every afternoon we wave goodbye. It is amazing because I already know all of the kids names and I have talked to almost all of them. When ever I slap hands with Coung and Aaron they always want to do the Summerbridge handshake. I have to be on my tippy toes to reach their hands. The best part of the day was my class when we played a fraction game. The game went well except Kory got upset because he lost and stopped participating and said that he didn’t care about math. The good part was that at the end of class I had a little talk with Kory and he said “ Yeah, I guess I care about math.” July 12, 93 I am so happy because I made the students sit down by raising my voice and they responded. I feel like they respect me. I had a conference with Valinda’s and Kory’s parents, and I think I made a good impression. I had a great 2nd period — they got into the measuring their heights. They seemed to really grasp the idea of multiplication and division of fractions. Third period wasn’t as smooth because Kory acted out and Kristina told me that she didn’t do her homework because “ I don't do homework on weekends.” During after school time, I really connected with Kristina. I got her caught up in her work and we talked about her grades and her frustrations with her regular school. She says that she is happy to be in a class of four people instead of thirty-two. I think I am going to see an improvement in her performance. There will still be hard times working with her, but she is coming around. August 8 I can’t believe Summerbridge Portland's first summer is already over. Our theme, Where the Wild Things Are, still rings clear in my memory. I remember the hours that we spent decorating the school. We cut out leaves, hung streamers, made paper trees, hung up welcome signs, and made 36 crowns, one for each student. As I sit and write this, taking bits and pieces from my journal and adding things that I remember from the summer, I am sad because it is over. I will hopefully see all of my students during the year through Saturday School and tutoring, but it won't be the same. I love Summerbridge. I am going to miss the staff tremendously. Now I can just look forward to next summer and hope I enjoy it as much as this summer. 7 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �ShoAi&ell US Track team finishes with success at State his year’s track season came to a close in a blaze of victory, fol­ lowing a great spring. Both girls and boys teams remained competitive all season, and, according to Coach Joel Gray, “Our ath­ letes competed their best when it mattered most.” With outstanding individual performances and an impressive second place fin­ ish at the league champi­ onship meet, ten OES ath­ letes qualified for the State Track Meet on May 21-22. Individual honors at District went to Adriane Thornton, who was selected most valuable girl track ath­ lete in the district for her three first place finishes plus a second place. Both the Girls and Boys teams had impressive finish­ es at the State competition too. The Girls 1600 Relay team finished 3rd place. Individual performances by Lisa Hayward, who placed 3rd and set a new School record, and Ben Chessar, who posted a 3rd place fin­ ish in the High Jump, also highlighted the two-day event. Three OESians receive National Merit scholarships The National Merit Scholarship Corporation named Alex de Weese and Lisa Hayward, both graduates of the Class of ‘93, as Finalists in the 1993 competition for National Merit Scholarships. Alex and Lisa, who placed in the top half of one percent of Oregon seniors, both received congratulatory letters and Certificates of Merit. AJex also received notification that he is the recipi­ ent of a $2000 Merit Scholarship. Merit Scholarship winners, chosen by a committee of college admissions officers and secondary school counselors convened for this purpose, are Finalists judged to have the strongest combination of abilities and accomplishments needed for future academic success. Lisa was awarded a College-sponsored Merit Scholarship to Carleton College. There are 3200 such awards each year, designated for particular colleges, and the awards are renewable for up to four years. Kevin Holliday, who was competing in Special Scholarship division, received notification that he has been awarded a renewable $500 scholarship from the May Department Stores Company Foundation. Students and faculty receive Cum Laude recognition The Cum Laude Society, a national society which recognizes academic excellence in high school students, recently elected nine seniors to its ranks. The students, Alex de Weese, Meraiah Foley, Erika Hagensen, Ross Harris, Lisa Hayward, Zanette Johnson, Nora Kobos, Erin Lamb and Makiko Yamazoe, were recognized for the discipline, curiosity, independence and breadth of their accomplishments. The OES Chapter also elected French Teacher Pam Vohnson and Performing and Fine Arts Teacher Jack O’Brien as faculty members. Steven Koblick, the new President of Reed College, spoke on the need for life long learning at the induction ceremony. 8 OES continues to excel in Mock Trials competition An impressive performance by OES students Rachel Frank, Erin Boyle, Margaret Spring, Britta Mauritz, Damien Ritter, Toby Menely, Dan Drinkward, Courtney Kaempf, Larisa Meisenheimer, Jennifer Thomas, Tyler Freres, Kyle Freres, Joe Ferguson, Hank Failing, Nancy Whang, David Moser and Courtney Voelker in the regional section of the Oregon Law Related Eduction Program, commonly referred to as Mock Trials, qualified the OES team to advance to the State Competition. Over 250 students from 77 schools throughout Oregon spent months preparing their cases. At regional competi­ tions, which took place in six areas throughout the state, the top 21 teams were select­ ed to advance to the State competition. OES Parents Keith Meisenheimer, a Senior District Attorney for Multnomah County, and the Honorable Judge Dorothy Baker, District Court Judge for the State of Oregon for Multnomah County, co-coached the OES team to the finals. The Mock Trials, held Friday and Saturday, lApril 2-3, culminated in a final match between OES and Grant High School. In the fictitious case, a security guard, who also hap­ pens to be a member of a white supremist organization, assaults an African American employee of a research lab �during an animal rights demonstration outside the lab. Arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, the security guard is brought to trial and charged with disorderly con­ duct and assault in State of Oregon v. Stover. Despite the fictitious nature of the case, the students’ enthusiasm was very real. In this unique competition, not only must students prepare cases for both the plaintiff and the defendant, as they will be expected to act as counsel for both the plaintiff and the defendant, but they must also role-play all the roles involved in the case — attorneys, wit­ nesses and court officials. The second place finish is an outstanding accomplish­ ment for a team competing for its second year. In fact, this year's winner, Grant, placed second in last year’s Mock Trials.

Today, organizers hope that through service days scattered throughout the school year students will recognize that many of the less fortunate individuals who make up our community can benefit greatly from our time and attention. US SERVES PORTLAND COMMUNITY The Annual Upper School Work Day took place on Wednesday, May 12, with every member of the US students and faculty — participating. Experiential Education Director Christina “Tna” Meyerhoff worked with Junior Margaret Spring and the student council to ensure the day would be a positive experience for both students and the organizations they were helping. “The kids had a variety of projects to choose from,” said Tna, "everything from recycling surveys to helping the elderly. And, overall, the responses were just fabulous.” One very rewarding aspect is the arrival of letters like the one written by Lee Lower, the Chaplain for the Albertina Kerr Center. “ I was very pleased with the work they [the stu­ Susan Barthel, founder of the Oregon Puppet Theatre, worked with the Lower School from April 19-30, teaching students how to make puppets and helping them perform their own sto­ ries.

I am, howev­ er, most impressed with the whole orientation to commu­ nity service such events pro­ mote. OES and its students are to be commended for rec­ ognizing the importance of contributing to the communi­ ty," wrote Lee. Originally created as a way of thanking the community outside OES for their ongoing support of the School, espe­ cially during the Mt. Hood tragedy, the scope of the project has expanded over the years. 9 In the words of Pam Danielson, Union Gospel Mission’s Volunteer Coordinator, who wrote the following thank you letter, “We are always pleased to have young adults who are willing to reach out to others; perhaps with this generation, we will see a big difference in adult attitude toward helping the less fortunate." One student was so pleased with the experience that he suggested setting aside a day each month for service. �AUTUMN 19 9 3 “She’s coolIcrazyI grea t/wonderful,” say her students with obviously intense adoration. This can’t be science it’s too much fun Oh, but it is science. And fun. Thanks to Lower School science specialist Jane Kenney-Norberg, OES students enjoy designing houses for little piggies that the wolf (a vacuum cleaner) can't blow down, building LEGO® robots that walk, squishing “flubber” in a sum­ mer unit called "Goop, Globs and Slimy Stuff” and taking a walk through the wetlands wearing socks outside their boots. What kind of teacher would call a unit "Kaboom!!!”? Let alone admit that she landed a job teaching TAG in Portland because she said “I like to blow things up and leave spots on the walls”? Who is Jane Kenney-Norberg, and how did she become...well, herself? “She’s cool/crazy/great/wonderful,” say her students with obviously intense adoration. “She’s a creative inspiration for us all,” answers Assistant Head of Lower School for Curriculum Development Sidney Gold. Jane comes from a family of scien­ tists and doctors. “My father still uses a hemostat as a repair tool, and my mother doesn’t have dish­ es in the cupboard — she has bird books,” says Jane calmly. “They never really pushed me into sci­ ence. I thought for years that I just wanted to teach.” “It bothered me then. I knew it was science and, therefore, was sup­ posed to be exciting. So I thought I was missing something. The whole reason I teach science the way I do is that I want the kids (and myself) to have as much fun as I didn’t.” Jane’s middle school experience was better. "In the eighth grade I was selected as a mouse keeper, learned all about mice, even wrote a paper, thereby avoiding a great deal of boring paper and pencil science.” “In high school, I didn’t have to take the freshman course on "how to work a lab scale” and other elemen­ tary procedures which was taught by an English teacher. (No offense intended — I couldn’t teach Hamlet.) As a sophomore, I had a woman biology teacher that was rumored to favor bright male stu­ dents. Even with a teacher that could have been a role model, I felt like I had to prove myself everyday.” “As juniors we were convinced our chemistry teacher was just this side of nuts,” she says, relishing the memory. “But we learned and had fun, especially with open-end­ ed lab experiments. I think there’s a bit of him in me.” That year Jane also joined Future Teachers of America and taught science and “My one memory of elementary science was of a physicist (a friend of my father’s) who came to my class. He brought some neat new things — plastic bags! He asked a boy to help measure water, and watching the results turn out ‘per­ fect’, I realized that even this Ph.D. had set up this experiment to suc­ ceed.” She also remembers phony plastic microscopes with “slides” that were round photographs of real magnifications. “The rest," she says with considerable scorn, “we read from the book.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL exhibition for the Lower School. 10 A June Kenney-Norberg demon­ strates the scientific principles behind the LEGO9 creations. math to a local fourth grade class where she first introduced her now-famous acid/base volcano. “It seemed like a good thing to do with kids at the time.” “In my senior year, the most important thing I learned was that one should not take physics while living in a house with a university physics professor who ONLY teaches graduate courses.” (Her dad was a professor at Berkeley.) “I went to the University of the Pacific at Stockton to major in biol­ ogy and get a teaching credential. I really wanted the science first, to live and breathe the subject before I taught it.” Because she pursued it, Jane also got a volunteer research position with a fruit fly �years four became eight, plus an after school science session — all with waiting lists. AUTUMN 19 9 3 “Then, three years ago, I got an offer from Diana Chenoweth to do summer classes that I couldn’t refuse. And the rest," she says, “is history.” Some OESians know she loves Star Trek, but isn’t fond of spiders. And everyone in the Lower School knows Michelangelo, her turtle — named by students for the cartoon. She also collects “rhinobelia.” Her obvious passion for science and kids complement her story­ telling ability. ▲ A design technology' success!

She worked with her for four years, then stayed another year to finish a project. They published twice in fruit fly cytogenetics; the first article came out her freshman summer. “Working with Dr. Hunter made me realize that I could contribute something significant and impor­ tant in science." Jane decided to go to medical school, but was torn between the clinical and research aspects. Jane found a flier from Oregon Health Sciences University about their new PhD program in genetics — a perfect combination. “Ultimately it didn’t work out for my career path, though, and I went to the University of Oregon to work in fruit fly cytogenetics and get an MS.” ▲ Jane Kenney-Norberg and Krystine Sigafoos check a water samplefor signs of life. While in Eugene, Jane began teaching Super Summer, a TAG science program, for extra income. She was proceeding into her PhD work, but changed her plans after her asthma worsened. She made a slow recovery and began teaching a TAG class in Portland Public Schools. One class became two. The second was LEGO® physics. (Jane, who is now considered by OESians as the Grand Dame of LEGO®s, confesses that she used to describe LEGO®s as “those plastic things with bumps”.) Two classes became four, and after two 11 For Jane, the science and fun are inseparable. “Why shouldn’t it be enjoyable?” The house for little piggies is a design technology project, the “slimy stuff” is polymer chemistry. “It’s real science, not tricks,” says science teacher and colleague Lou Paff. “Science the kids will never forget.” Jane says she teaches for the “WOW” factor. “Then I not only have their attention, but I have their interest and curiosity.” She builds from the least to the greatest WOW experiment, creating “an atmos­ phere of discovery”. I do not dis­ count any idea, unless it is a safety hazard or interferes with another student. I encourage students to test their ideas — hypotheses.” “I teach the way I do because I believe it’s so important that kids realize that science is part of every­ thing. They can do it themselves — it’s not scary, or too hard." OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 19 9 3 ▲ Sue Nicol New Director of Development appointed OES Headmaster Peter Stevens announced the appointment of Sue Nicol as the School’s new Director of Development in July. Sue has served the Admissions Department at OES since 1982, representing the School to parents and friends in the PortlandVancouver area, across the coun­ try and around the world. Peter explained that Develop­ ment is a broad concept that embraces the advancement of the whole school community on a number of fronts. “It includes all our external efforts to enhance our lives here. Development includes admissions, which is an area that stimulates interest in the School among prospective stu­ dents and parents. It includes pub­ lic relations, which is the School’s effort to get its message out to the local, regional, national and inter­ national communities. And it includes fundraising, our efforts to seek charitable contributions for school enterprises, endowments, programs, scholarships and build­ ings from all sources: parents, past parents, friends, alumni, trustees and faculty/staff, corpora­ tions and foundations.” “This move comes at a time when the School is working to position itself firmly to meet the development challenges envi­ sioned by OES/21. Most notably, these include the raising of funds for improved faculty and staff com­ pensation, and improvement in the School’s facilities in the areas of Middle School, fine and performing arts, science and computer instruction, libraries and additional indoor athletic space,” said Peter. “As Oregon Episcopal School moves to implement the ambitious and exciting plans created by OES/21, the School’s strategic plan, Sue Nicol will assume the direction of those efforts,” said Peter, noting that Sue was “a nat­ ural for the position". Sue joined OES in 1981 as a third grade teacher. A year later, she was appointed as Director of Admissions. "During Sue’s eleven years in admissions, she has become the first — for many a continuing — contact at OES for hundreds of children and families. She has pioneered our admissions and development efforts abroad for the boarding program in the Upper School. And she has gained respect from admissions col­ leagues in independent schools nationally for her interest in promo­ tion,” said Peter. According to Peter, Sue will work closely with the Board of Trustees’ Development Committee, a group which is charged with implementing the School’s Mission through provid­ ing non-tuition/fee support. She will be a principal advisor to the Headmaster and will work closely with him and the three Division Heads in the daily operation of the School. She will also oversee an office which will support and pro­ mote volunteerism at OES. Louisa Zendt, who joined the OES staff a year ago, has been appointed as Interim Director of Admissions. “Louisa’s experience with independent schools and her work as an associate with the Admissions Office last year have prepared her well to serve our admissions process.” She will work closely with Sue and the Admissions Office staff. During the fall, OES will begin a national search for a new permanent Director of Admissions. Gifts that keep giving OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Bequests — through wills or revocable trusts — ensure the future of Oregon Episcopal School. Such gifts may be unrestricted or designated for faculty growth and development, financial aid or other School programs. Bequests are invested with the School’s endowment funds which are currently valued at $4.6 million. Only the income is used each year, and as the endowment grows so does the annual income. An original bequest continues to grow over time. The total amount of a bequest is exempt from federal estate tax and is also generally not subject to state inheritance or estate taxes. Bequests may be made in the form of cash, real estate, securities or personal property. It is sometimes advantageous to designate OES as the beneficiary of the remainder of an IRA, KEOGH, tax-sheltered annuity, qualified pension or profitsharing plan, since retirement plans that remain in an estate are often subject to both state and income taxes when received by the heirs. Types of bequests: In a Specific Bequest, OES receives an specified amount or specified assets, such as securities, real estate of personal property. Under a Residuary Bequest, the School receives all or a percentage of the remainder of an estate, after payment of specific amounts bequeathed to other beneficiaries named in the will. A Testamentary Trust provides income from the trust to one or more individuals, upon whose death(s) all or part of the principal passes to the School. A bequest to OES can be made by creating or changing a will, 12 adding a codicil to a present will or including the School in a revo­ cable trust. The OES Heritage Society rec­ ognizes and honors alumni, par­ ents and friends who have remem­ bered the School in their wills or revocable trusts. Through the years, Oregon Episcopal School has received both large and small bequests from individuals who wanted to give a gift that keeps giving.

As I reflect on this year past, this year symbolized by summaries, names, pictures, and statistics in The Mustard Seed, I am reminded of Governor Cross’ ringing prose of thanksgiving, for we have so much to be grateful for: “Time out of mind at this turn of the seasons when the hardy oak leaves rustle in the wind and the frost gives a tang to the air and the duskfalls early and the friendly evenings lengthen under the heel of Orion, it has seemed good to ourpeople to join together in praising the Creator and the Preserver, who has brought us by a way that we did not know to the end of another year.” 1992-93 was our 123rd year, and The Mustard Seed is one way in which we can pause and give thanks: to thousands of named donors and supporters and volunteers, and to others who, over the years, have made this school possible today. I am told of years when mere survival was at question. I am told of others when pure faith kept the School going. Many alumni have shared tales of bygone days which live in your memories as crystal clear as 1992-93 lives in ours. Surely, with the support of the Creator and the Preserver, and often through ways that we cannot fathom, we have come to a joyous end of another year. . for the blessings that have been our common lot and have placed our beloved State with the favored regions of earth — for all the crea­ ture comforts: the yield of the soil that has fed us and the richer yield from labor of every kind that has sustained our lives — and for all those things, as dear as breath to the body, that quicken man’s faith in bis manhood, that nourish and strengthen his spirit to do the great work still before him... ” In this era of beleaguered education, we at OES are indeed among the “favored regions of earth.” We are rich in human resources, in dedicat­ ed and committed volunteer support­ ers, in near-sacrificial faculty and staff, and in exciting, eager young people. We have done great things. And, as ambitious people always will, we have “great work” still before us, work that is achievable with your steadfast help and our quickened spirit. . for honor held above price; for steadfast courage and zeal in the long, long search after truth; for liberty andforjusticefreely granted by each to his fellow and so as freely enjoyed... ” I believe that fine, moral education is indeed about honor and truth, about liberty and justice. And, with all due regard for the national debate, fine education is indeed about choice, as we hope to make a difference in the lives of people, enabling them to make those choices. In fact, democra­ cy is about choice. Your support in 1992-93 is given to these ends; and so is it received. “... andfor the crowning glory and mercy ofpeace upon our land; — that we may humbly take heart of these blessings as we gather once again with solemn andfestive rites to keep our Harvest Home.” Well, we know that peace upon our land is still elusive, but if we did not believe in its possibility, we could not continue, year after year, to dedi­ cate ourselves to these tasks. How do we make a difference in the grand scheme, any of us? We can and do, I believe, through good works aimed al small groups; through our own faith in the process of the growth of people, of boys and girls, of men and women; through our devotion and charity and gifts of time and wisdom and love and resources to effective organizations. I think that Governor Cross would applaud the OES-BDH-SHH family, which for 124 years has nurtured this community of learners, scholars, athletes, drama­ tists, scientists, writers, artisans, care­ givers, teachers, gardeners, custodi­ ans, trustees, parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, friends, corpora­ tions, leaders. I give thanks this autumn for you all, and for this school, indeed one of “the favored regions on earth.” Thank you for making it possible. Most sincerely, /. Peter W. Stevens OES Board of Trustees honoredformer trustee, Barbara Herbold, for her exemplary service. THE MUSTARD SEED 2 4. �REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE ZOARD Dear Friends, If a saying could characterize OES in the past year it is perhaps “carpe diem”, seize the day! This has been demonstrated by the results of the energy and work of many people. Our financial situation is healthy and enrollment is high. OES/21 is in place as our guide for future directions. Many volunteers have committed their talents and their time. It has been a year of enthusiasm and excel­ lence and strength. Fiscally the School is in sound condi­ tion and our budget is managed pru­ dently. Generous friends have con­ tributed over $550,000 during the year. This condition has allowed us to enhance our curriculum, to add to our computer technology, to focus on increases in faculty and staff com­ pensation, and to continue needed maintenance. OES/21 has been adopted as the long-range plan for our School. The Board of Trustees set priorities within this plan, and committees are working on two major issues. One is faculty and staff compensa­ tion. The other is the updating of the campus Master Plan, including excel­ lent facilities for each division of the School. Many of our successes are due to the efforts of volunteers. Parent organiza­ tions have been active. Their work has included educational programs and numerous special projects. The auction this spring was terrific fun. The event raised nearly $75,000 for professional development for our faculty. The Annual Fund was a tremendous success and raised an all time record of $299,088. Our Alumni Association brought together alumni for numerous on and off campus spirited activities. The enthusiasm and efforts of countless volunteers have been great throughout the OES community. Many of our successes are due to the leadership of OES. Peter Stevens, as Headmaster, has provided direction and great energy to life on the cam­ pus. Sean Gilronan completed his 2 1/2 year term as President of the Board in January of this year. His wisdom and commitment have been invaluable. As another academic year begins, we can be confident that the faculty, staff and administration will continue to foster excellence at OES. Our chil­ dren will be challenged and encour­ aged in a community that values them as individuals. We are fortunate to have such talented and caring professionals. In closing, I want to express my appreciation to my colleagues on the Board of Trustees for their guidance, time and involvement. And to all the friends of OES, thank you, each of you, for your interest and your support of our School. Sincerely, Elisabeth L.

THE MUSTARD SEED 3 �REPORT FROM THE PAST PRESIDENT OF THE EOARD Dear Friends, I close my term as president of the Board of Trustees with some wonderful memories and a sense of renewed “momentum" within the School. It has been a time of transition. We have welcomed a new Headmaster. Under the banner of OES/21, we have begun our plan for the future. We have achieved record enrollments throughout the School. We have strengthened our financial position through prudent management, and have refocused our development efforts. All of this would not have been possible without the extraordinary commitment of my fellow trustees, the faculty and administrative staff, and a wonderful group of dedicated volunteers. My special thanks to Tony Adams for his leadership in “reenergizing” our development program and to Peter Bechen who as treasurer helped to strengthen the financial base of the School. To Peter Stevens, my congratulations for his leadership of the School during this transitional period and my gratitude for his patience in helping me to better understand the unique complexities of an educational insti­ tution such as OES. It has been a wonderful two-year partnership. My best wishes to Elisabeth Lyon as she takes on the presidency for the next two years. Elisabeth offers an impressive combination of experience, enthusiasm and dedication. I cannot think of a better person to help lead OES in the years ahead. My very best wishes to the entire OES community for continued success. I am confident that our best days are just ahead ...

THE MUSTARD SEED 21 �V0 LUNTEEAND SPECIAL EVENTS THE COMMON LINK and PARENT ASSOCIATION LINKS he Common Link serves as the com­ munication link for community-wide interests and activities, and operates in cooperation with the Parent Association Links (PAL). The Parent Associa­ tion Links provide a way for the parents of OES students to become involved with the School. The PALs spon­ sor many activities through the course of the year, and involve hundreds of volun­ teers.

Classes began in June with a diverse group of 36 students from ten Portland public schools. The pro­ gram focuses particularly on students who have had limited educational opportunities. A talented faculty of 17 high school and college students serve as teachers and role models. The academically stimulating summer sessions emphasize reading, writing, math, critical thinking and study skills. The program also stresses leader­ ship, heightened self-esteem and creativity. The sum­ mer sessions are complimented by school-year tutor­ ing, counseling and enrichment to ensure comprehensive support. In addition to preparing middle school students for success in high school, Summerbridge also serves as a training ground for a new generation of teachers. For our young faculty members, Summerbridge is a total immersion into the field of education. Summerbridge Portland is modeled after the original Summerbridge program in San Francisco. At present, there are approximately twenty Summerbridge pro­ grams nationwide. Oregon Episcopal School is grateful to the fol­ lowing donors for supporting this important pro­ gram. And we wish to extend special recognition to the Meyer Memorial Trust for their strong support and commitment to the program. ▲.

While most completed the col­ lege application process, these seniors have expressed an interest in taking some time out from the intense academic routine, and/or persuing a special interest — particu­ larly travel or living abroad. Colleges routinely allow accepted applicants to defer if they have a good plan for the year. Courtney Sherwood, for example, is interested in returning to Costa Rica where she spent some time in the AMIGOS de las Americas Program, and Matt Berman plans to spend a post-graduate year at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. * Designates graduate's choice among college acceptances. 13 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �I AUTUMN 19 9 3 COMMENCEMENT 1993 ◄ Lisa Hayward.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 17 �AUTUMN 19 9 3 Beloved teacher named honorary alumna “Many people ask me why I don’t teach anymore, I always tell them I have too many fond memories of my days at OES to teach anywhere else.” — Eleanor Fass, honorary alumna Former Middle School Dean, Social Studies Teacher and Director of Residence, Miss Eleanor Fass received the Honorary Alumna dis­ tinction at the Alumni Association’s annual spring luncheon held Saturday, June 19, 1993, during Reunion Weekend. Miss Fass is the first faculty member to be honored with the distinction, which recog­ nizes an individual who has shown great commitment and service to the OES community. Miss Fass, who earned an MA in Geography from Clark University, taught “social science” — geogra­ phy, history and government — at OES from 1969 until her retirement in 1985.

When alumni were asked to send in their favorite School memories, The Alumni Office received wonderful accounts of how Miss Fass shaped and influenced peoples’ lives, both personally and professionally: “.../ am spending the month of June touring Europe and visiting famous sites in Turkey. Little did I realize when Miss Fass intro­ duced me to geography in the 6th grade that I would actually visit the places we studied!” — Aimee Froom ‘87 ▲ Miss Eleanor Fass accepts her Honorary! Alumna plaquefrom Meridel Prideaux 59. “One of my most cherished memories at OES is from Miss Fass’s History class. We were instructed to write a paper on our sister city in Japan. I won the “key to the city” for my paper and she personally awarded me a real key. That key did tremendous things for my self esteem. ” — Bonnie Page Crowley, ‘75 “Some of my favorite memories of Miss Fass are her innovative assignments...our “islands”, tourist contest and our great debates with Gary Garyfallou [‘84]. Miss Fass made geography and government real and made us all excellent Trivial Pursuit and Jeopardy players!” — Paige Parker Kuni, ‘84 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 18 ▲ Miss Fass tells tbe guests during the spring luncheon about her many memories of OES and her active life as a volunteer in King City. �Alumni Profile Tanja Horvat Vasiljevic '74 — mother, physician, refugee Half way around the world, peace is only a dream for the people of former Jugoslavia. Few families have been left unaffected by the atrocities war inevitably brings. Here in the United States, reactions to the war have been varied. Some Americans remain con­ fused. Others are angered by the media images, many reminiscent of the holo­ caust. Still others cannot understand the attitudes of leaders who seem to be behaving like ill-mannered children in refusing to allow UN convoys to bring in basic necessities. As the death toll continues to rise — over 12,000 in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo alone — isolated pockets of people here in the United States work to help where they can. Recently, a group of concerned OESians banded together to offer a safe haven to one of their own, Tanja Horvat Vasiljevic ‘74. “With only 35 people in the Class of 1974, Tanja was an integral comrade in our closely knit band of boarding and day students," wrote Autumn Alexander ‘74, who is Valley Life editor for the Yakima Herald-Republic, in a front page story. “Long after high school, traveling class­ mates would make the effort to get to Sarajevo to seek her out as she studied to be a doctor." Like many Jugoslavians, Tanja, who had spent most of her life in Sarajevo which is a sophisticated city about the size of Portland, gave little thought to the ethnic and religious differences that are an integral part of the region's history. When World War II ended, many people hoped that the creation of a single unified country would allow people to bury the ethnic strife of the past 1300 years. Under the leadership of President Tito, Jugoslavia earned a reputation as the most progressive communist county. In retrospect, many feel that it was unrealis­ tic to expect a country with 24 ethnic groups, three major religions, two alpha­ bets and six different republics — Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herce­ govina, Macedonia and Montenegro — to find peace within its borders. Tanja seemed to be a living example of what Jugoslavia might have become. When, in her early twenties, Tanja met Nino Horvat, the two never felt a need to discuss their heritage — she is Serbian and he Croatian. “We are both Bosnians — there isn’t any difference,” she explained. Later, Tanja would say, “This (war) started with hate. After World War II, hate wasn’t burned out; the Serbs wanted to go get Muslims and Croats." By May of 1992, despite efforts to keep life as normal as possible — both for themselves and their 5-year-old daughter, Ivana, the Horvats could no longer ignore the snipers who had forced them to live in the hallway of their apartment for safety. Life quickly began to disintegrate. First, the scarcity of food forced Tanja and Nino to save anything with nutritive value for Ivana. Then the electricity and water stopped, leaving only a shallow pool in the bathtub. Tanja was torn between conflict­ ing desires — keeping her family together or finding freedom and relative safety. Tanja braved the snipers to scour the city for a convoy that might take them to safety and located one through the university where she had worked. When recalling the painful departure from her husband, Tanja says, “I had the feeling that I won’t come back.” After a harrowing journey across the border, Tanja and Ivana made their way to her mother’s home in Montenegro. In Montenegro, Tanja’s Serbian moth­ er shared stories of her treatment at the hands of Croats during World War II. “She had bad feelings about Croats,” Tanja said. "Well, I had bad feelings about Serbs. They were shooting at me and my child. If they were Martians I would be angry about that — it didn’t matter what I am — what mattered is who shoots at me from the hill." As rumors of increasing fighting reached the town, and money became increasingly tight, Tanja realized the time had come to move on. Despite letters of guarantee from friends in Portland and a classmate in the United States State Department who was pulling for her, the only answer she received from the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade was “Sorry, sorry, sorry." Finally, in September, Tanja accepted a visa arranged by a refugee friend in Germany. Hating to go even farther away from Nino, Tanja and Ivana reluctantly boarded the train for Munich. With the help of her refugee friends, Tanja, who spoke no German, found a place to live. And, despite her experience as a derma­ 19 tologist back home in Sarajevo, the only job Tanja was able to find was menial labor in a nursing home. “I don’t care about money, nothing is important,” she said. “After you have everything, and now you don't have any­ thing, you start asking yourself, what is important in your life." One of the best things in Tanja's life has been the rare letters from Nino. Each letter carries gruesome details — friends who are dead or have lost arms and legs — and a sense of despair, since Nino feels his chances to get out are “about zero". In a letter she sent to Autumn, Tanja wrote, "I am not a religious person but I start to pray to gods to help him. It's the only thing I can do. I was listening to Radio Sarajevo the last few nights, and I noticed that things are changed and some new people are on the air. The old people from the city escape from Sarajevo, and new people full of hate are in town. They are scared, hungry, horrified with death but used to it, they smell blood and they want blood. That is a town I couldn't recognize and the people I couldn't recognize. I don’t have my country anymore, I don't have my town, I don't have my home, I don't have my family. What else can I lose? Only mind! The people without the land are accursed to go around the world in search for a place, but usually they don’t find it. Dorothy, from the Wizard of Oz is a lucky girl. The only thing she had to say is: There is no place like home — and she was in Kansas. I don’t have magic shoes. On April 6, it was one year from the beginning of the war in Bosnia. That day we were watching on the TV a journal about the war in Sarajevo, and Ivana start­ ed to cry when she saw two dead babies, telling me: “Why did we go out and leave my father alone? He’ll be dead like those babies and I’ll never see him again." Then I started to cry — I usually don’t do that in front of her — but... Then she took two teddy bears, one for her to hug and one she gave me to hug, and then I started to laugh. It’s very hard for me to be alone with her, but I'm lucky to have her. From my past life I have only three pic­ tures here with me (and lots of memories.) Ivana doesn't want to look at it because, she said, “I don't want my father on a pic­ ture, I want him here with me. So my past was hard, my present is hard and I have only a hope that my future is going to be better. I'm happy that I have a hope in spite of everything. I must be brave or crazy. I don't know... “ AUTUMN 19 9 3 Editor’s note: This story by Jody McNannay was made possible thanks to the efforts of Autumn Alexander ‘74, Valley Life editor of the Yakima HeraldRepublic, one of Tanja’s classmates. Tanja continues to keep in touch with Autumn in hopes of finding a way to secure her husband’s safe passage out of Sarajevo. Meanwhile her OESian friends are working to bring Tanja to Oregon. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �REUNION ■93 True to this year’s reunion theme, the OES Alumni Association planned special activities for all alumni, faculty and friends to gather, recall school days and talk about fun times, people and places.

We were awakened every morning by the Muezzin’s early prayer call, along with donkeys braying, roosters crowing and all sorts of other ani­ mals kicking up a symphonic cacophony. "Travel from Nairobi to Mombassa by ancient train is a book of experiences in itself. And to Lamu by boat in a hand-hewn dhow — definitely pole-pole. There were leopards leaping, lions lunch­ ing, giraffes galloping and ele­ phants grazing...on the way to Masa Mara, Kericho, Bilisu and Samburuland. “I rode on the back of a 100plus-year old turtle and climbed a 9000-foot mountain that took us through four climate/vegetation levels. I learned how to pick out dinner, kill it, skin it and roast it on the spot...Our work project was to build a school house out of coral blocks.” Only just home, Meredith pack­ ed her bags again to begin a year­ long tour with “Up with People". “P.S. Many thanks to the great people at OES who helped me produce a 120-page thesis enti­ tled A Glimpse of the Sociocultural Issues Which Surround Transracial Adoption [from] A Transracial Adoptee's Perspective. Over 90 copies have been sold and a pub­ lisher is interested.” [Note: Since Meredith graduated in 1988, she has “formally met" her biological father, had a reunion with her bio­ logical mother, met a sister she didn’t know existed and talked about it all on AM Northwest.] �Aimee Froom ‘87 has been accepted as a doctoral candi­ date at New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts. She grad­ uated from Brown University Cum Laude with a double major in French and Art History in 1991. She spent the last two years studying with Islamic Arts expert, Walter Denny at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and just received her MA. Apart from his work with Tom Grant, Patrick Lamb ‘88 is already riding high, having recently played at the annual Salishan Jazz Festival with bassist Ray Brown and pianist Benny Green.

Kevin is a sub-contract administrator with the Boeing Company on special assignment in Atlanta, Georgia Courtney will join him in Atlanta upon her graduation from Lewis & Clark with a degree in Bio-Sciences. The degree is her first step toward a career goal in genetic counsel­ ing. When Kevin completes his Boeing assignment, the couple will reside in Seattle Kristina Hodgers ‘88 is studying in Barcelona, Spain this year. Her husband, Chris Lashbaugh Hodgers ‘88, joined her at the beginning of the summer to travel for two months around Europe. The Hodgers will return to Portland in the fall when Chris will begin his first year of medical school and Kristy will finish her degree at Portland Slate. “No family as of yet — not for several years! Our cal is enough for right now.” Ashleigh Asaph ‘90 spent the past semester studying in Dijon, France. She will be a senior at Colgate University in New York in the fall, majoring in International Relations. Charlie Adams ‘92 completed his freshman year at Connecticut College and his first season on the men’s squash team. Charlie, who competed in 17 matches, was a big asset to the team.

Girls’ Coach Coleen Conkey attributes this year’s winning season to “team effort”, a team effort that clearly paid off when OES swept the court at the State Finals. Junior Jo-Anne Landry, who entered the State competias the singles district champion, went on to take the i—i 1 r* _i gold, and o Sierra Snyder and Melissa Berwind repeated their tri­ umph at District by taking 3rd place at State. The Boys Tennis team dominat­ ed doubles play with two OES ▲ Jo-Anne Landry teams battling for 1st and 2nd place. The tension of watching Kyle and Tyler Freres battle Kazuya Suzuki and Stefan Sanne over­ came Coach Mike Devenney, who admitted that he couldn’t watch. The fantastic match ended with a hard won victory by the Freres brothers. Though Joe Matheson, the School’s number one boys sin­ gles, injured himself the day before the match, he demon­ strated the mark of a true athlete, winning his first match by switching back and forth between right and left handed play. Even his opponent (and eventual winner) called Joe’s perfor­ mance “absolutely amazing!” k. Kaztiya Suzuki OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 6300 S.W.
