�Dear Friends,
I am excited to introduce this
first issue of "The BellTower,”
our new school magazine.
Just as the tall and compell
ing new structure in the cir
cle on campus has become
a focal point for School
gatherings and activities, so
will this publication bring
together news and informa
tion, ideas and debate for
parents, alumnae/i and
friends of Oregon Episcopal
School. Both will serve us
well, I feel, as we make our
way with renewed con
fidence and clear vision into
the early years of the next
millennium.
I

You may read about the
history of the Bell Tower in
this issue, and about Blair
Rosenlund ’75, whose
memorial plaque is now
mounted on the rock in the
gardens surrounding the new
Tower. And you may read
about this new structure as
well, its design by Blair's
classmate Alexandra Zim
mer, and its donation by
Cecil and Sally Drinkward,
who have generously served
this wonderful School for
years as parents, grand
parents and trustees. Cecil
was a member of the Board
of Trustees from 1983 to
1990 and President from
1986 to 1988.
And you may read about the
bell itself, a symbol that has
been with the School for
years, and that we honor
now for the role it plays in
unifying the past and the
present, as it rings in the
future. Our 5th graders rang
the bell on opening day, one
clear peal for each year of
our history. This tradition
began at St. Helens Hall in
the perhaps simpler pioneer
ing days of the nineteenth
century and continues at
Oregon Episcopal School in
the madly complex 1990s.
you catch the spirit of sup
port for OES, as I have dur
ing my first year as
Headmaster.
What will my second year
bring? Well, record enroll
ment for one. We have open
ed this fall with 672 students,
including an Upper School of
195. We have purposely
maintained our attractive
teacher: student ratio, our
small classes and the close
personal attention that
parents and students seek
here.
The year will also bring con
tinued long-range planning.
OES/21, or OES for the 21st
Century, is in full swing, with
some 20 committees and
task forces focussing on
issues that the policy com
mittees identified last year.
Reports and recommenda
tions are due in the spring of
1992, when we will mold and
present the Plan that will
guide us into the next
century.
And the year will bring our
continued dedication to
young people and their
growth and development:
that’s what Bishop Morris’s
bell has been ringing for all
these years, and that’s what
it continues to remind us of
today.
Sincerely,
“...you may read
about the bell itself,
a symbol that has
been with the School
for years, and that
we honor now for
the role it plays in
unifying the past and
the present, as it
rings in the future.”
This inaugural issue also

with the School from one location
to the next. The first free-standing
Bell Tower was constructed in
1969-70 - on the School’s 100th
Anniversary - at the Raleigh Hills
campus. Over the years, traditions
grew around the symbolic ringing
of the bell. In the early 1960s,
Seniors rang the bell at the end of
the year — one toll for each year
of the School’s existence. Today,
fifth graders perform that rite at
Opening Day ceremonies.
A dedication ceremony for the new
OES Bell Tower honoring the
Drinkwards, as well as the
dedication of the Blair Rosenlund
Memorial, is planned for
November 1 at 1:50 pm.

Funded by a gift from former
Trustee and parent Cecil Drinkward

new OES Bell Tower does indeed

Bell Tower Circle, 3 pillars of
core-10 steel rise from a stone
rubble base to embrace a cross of
Alaskan Yellow Cedar, which
supports the bell. The three pillars,
three-sided base and three
staircases were designed to
symbolize the Trinity.
The new tower was designed by
Alumna Alexandra ('Allie”) Zimmer
'76 to coordinate with the School's
existing architecture. Allie, who
attended OES for 14 years,
graduated from the University of
Oregon in 1984 with a B.A. in
interior architecture. She has
experience in all stages of
residential and commercial design,
from schematic development to
construction documents. Allie has
worked for Charles Lester

Blair Rosenlund
remembered
When Blair Rosenlund ’75 was kill
ed in an auto accident on April 9,
1976, it seemed fitting that her
friends remember her in a special
way.
In November of that year, the OES
Bell Tower had blown down in gale
force winds, damaging the yoke
and destroying the tower. The bell
survived intact. Janelle Jarman ’76
and the students in Joe Snyder’s
wood crafts class designed and
built a new tower that was
dedicated on March 5, culminating
a week of Bicentennial celebra
tions.
The St. Helen’s Bell
The famous old bell of St. Helen's hall,
which was moved Monday to make way
for workmen starting construction on a
$70,000 wing to the school building, was
not perturbed, one may feel certain, by
being lowered and hauled around. It is
used to that by now. Several times since
its arrival in 1870, as a gift from Bishop
B Wistar Morris’ former congregation in
Germantown, Pennsylvania, it has suf
fered removal. It knows by now that it
will ring out again over a larger and better
school.
There have been many changes but no
retrogression in the history of St. Helen’s
hall. When Bishop Morris came to Oregon
in 1869 as successor to Bishop Scott in this
Episcopal diocese, it was with his plans for
the hall already laid. Even to the name.
It was to be named for the mother of Con
stantine the Great, one of history’s most
famous Christian converts. And that des
ignation was particularly fitting for a
school from the windows of which the
mountain St. Helens could be seen.
The beginnings of the hall were timely.
Bishop Scott had managed a school at
Milwaukie during the early and middle
1860s (Spencer hall), but it was toe *ar
from Portland and had been discontinued
in 1866. Meanwhile the educational situa
tion in Portland was badly disorganized,
with the idea of free public schools just
getting started. Bishop Morris opened St.
Helen’s quickly after his arrival, and from
that day to this it has filled a vital need
in the community. At first its appeal was
popular. Then as the free public schools
developed, particularly the high schools,
St. Helen's took on more the character
the latter-day private school, justifying it
self by its high standards and careful su
pervision of student work. Within the past
few years it has added a junior college to
the other grades from kindergarten up.
It has a distinguished list of graduates and
a high position on the accredited list of
preparatory schools.
The hall had its early development on
the block now occupied by the city hali.
A new school was completed on Vista ave
nue in 1891. On September 3, 1914, the
hall was half ruined by fire, and makeshift
quarters had to be resorted to. In 1918,
a three-year lease was taken on the old
Portland academy at Thirteenth and Mont
gomery, and in 1921 this building was pur
chased outright. And all the time the old
bell was kept tolling, wherever it was hung.

wooden tower.
■
When the wooden structure
became old and unsafe, it seemed
equally fitting that a member of
the Class of ’76 - Alexandra “Allie"
Zimmer - design the new one.
Blair’s memorial plaque moved to
a rock in the Bell Tower Circle still at the center of campus life
where students come and stay a
while and go. Blair would have
liked that, say her friends and
family.

confidence is expanded, and they

Inside the OES
Boarding Program
— an interview with
Hamilton Gregg
Hamilton
Gregg
Hamilton Gregg joined the OES
Administrative team as Director of
Residence and Assistant to the
Headmaster. A native of Colorado,
he learned to love the mountains
and “all things wild’’ before
heading East to boarding school at
St. Mark’s in Massachusetts. He
returned to the West to earn a
degree in political science at the
University of Colorado in Boulder.
After a variety of positions with
companies ranging from invest
ment counselors to mining opera
tions, Hamilton settled at The
Thacher School in Ojai, California,
working in admissions. He recently
earned his M.Ed. from Harvard
University. Having “settled with
the ghosts in the East,’’ Hamilton is
putting down roots in Portland
where he is happily revitalizing the
boarding program at OES.
The BellTower: Why should a
parent send high school
students to Boarding School?
Hamilton Gregg: First of all, it’s
an opportunity for a student to
grow mentally, physically and
spiritually. Students have a chance
to investigate, to live in a com
munity that is small and deman
ding but provides access to the
outdoors, has commitment to ser
vice and, in the process, asks
them to take responsibility for their
own actions.
Mentally, we can provide a high
level of academic challenge.
Physically, at OES everyone par
ticipates - we have athletics teams
for everyone who wants to play not just varsity athletics.
Oregon Episcopal
School
Spiritually, boarding students learn
about themselves, their self-
One of the greatest things about
boarding school is that kids learn
to live with others. They will be
friends FOREVER!
The BellTower: What makes a
good boarding school?
Hamilton: Good boarding schools
have an openness in their environ
ment that allows teenagers to ask
questions — along with a struc
ture that allows them to question
safely. This structure comes from
a synthesis of the dorm parents’
experience and backgrounds. It’s a
collective and dynamic process
that builds on sound principles
And faculty must be accessible —
they live within the boarding com
munity and show students how
adults from a variety of
backgrounds live successful lives.
The BellTower: It sounds like
good parenting on a larger
scale....
Hamilton: Yes. We aim to teach
things like respect, decorum and
punctuality, in preparation for col
lege and life. We also offer
“general” parenting based on all of
our backgrounds.
The BellTower: What are the par
ticular strengths of the OES
program?
Hamilton: It’s small; it can easily
be individualized. There is a
wonderful student:dorm parent
ratio of 5:1 which means students
get a lot of individual attention.
And everyone knows everyone
else.
At OES, unlike some boarding
schools, the size of the day pro
gram allows kids access to other
backgrounds, homes and friends. It
gives them a wider pool.
And exceptional academics, solid
sports programs and a wonderful
sense of community create an en
vironment where OES students are
nurtured — where they can take
certain risks. One other advantage
of OES is its proximity to Portland
which provides many opportunities
that a great many schools must
drive longer distances to reach.
10
The BellTower: What do you
think the most important
priorities of the OES program
are?
Hamilton: First, to teach students
to be ongoing learners.
Second, we should help students
learn to take responsibility for
themselves, others and the com
munity. This process also prepares
them for college and later life.
The BellTower: The OES Boar
ding Program is clearly expan
ding — not just in numbers, but
also in scope...
Hamilton: We are trying to attract
a more diverse population. We’re
an international program that
hopes to bring diversity together
for mutual understanding All of
this does not happen overnight.
This is something we will be work
ing towards for several years.
The BellTower: Have there been
any recent specific changes that
have made the program more
attractive?
Hamilton: We have instituted
several new changes that we hope
will build a stronger community.
First, we are asking students to
take responsibility for themselves
and for the community. In this area
students are assigned morning
jobs that include weekly cleaning
of the common areas, hallways
and outside areas. We hope they
will learn to respect their com
munity. They also must clean their
room thoroughly once a week.
To further the sense of community,
we have removed the TVs from the
common areas and placed them
with the Dorm Parents. This puts
the pressure on the students to be
creative with their free time, and if
they wish to watch TV, they can
ask a Dorm Parent. The result is a
more family like atmosphere - a
sharing experience. We have
changed the schedule so that the
time will be used more productive
ly for studying or for social time.
All of this is geared toward an en
vironment that is structured and
yet conducive without being
restrictive.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF GIVING
1990-91
OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOO
�Headmaster’s Report
Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure that we
share with you the OES ANNUAL
REPORT for 1990-91, my first year as
Headmaster at this wonderful school.
This was an excellent year by so
many measures! Our Annual Fund
broke all OES records and topped
a quarter of a million dollars in
unrestricted support for the first
time.
It was a year in which we received
the largest single gift in the modern
history of the School: $500,000 for
the renovation of the Sports and
Recreation Center (SPARC), the old
Hampton Courts, which the School
purchased two years ago.
It was a year in which total giving
to the School reached the $1,127,000
mark.
!
It was a year in which total enroll
ment topped 650 and we enjoyed the
bittersweet challenge and blessing of
wait-lists at many grade levels.
It was a year in which hundreds of
volunteers made possible the reali
zation of the stunning new play
ground, the Aardvark Fun Park.
It was a year for strategic planning.
Some 80 members of the faculty,
students, parents, trustees, alumnae/i
and friends gave time and creativity
and wisdom in the School wide
planning effort, OES/21, or “OES for
the 21st Century.”
It was a year of joy and learning,
growth and excitement, dedication
and revitalizing for our inclusive
student body, our committed faculty,
our selfless Board of Trustees, our
trusting parents and our faithful
alumnae/i.
And for me, it was a year of riding
the steepest learning curve I’ve ever
mounted as I confronted the wonder
of OES and attempted to get to know
our hundreds and hundreds of
family members. I found a school
that is on the threshold of greatness.
Our books are balanced. Our
budgets are wise and productive.
Our plant is receiving the attention
it deserves. Our education is sound
and exciting and in demand.
And, perhaps most important of
all to me: we are willing to look at
ourselves critically, to recommend
change and continued growth and to
plan eagerly for our future in a
world that changes at a dizzy
and bewildering pace, amidst a
Northwest community that is clearly
outpacing other regions in stature,
sophistication, quality of life and
population.
This Annual Report is a positive
testimony to the generosity and
willingness and faith of all of you
who support this school: with your
children, your work, your resources
and your hopes. It is the record of a
year; a photographic slide. Hence,
our presentation can be but twodimensional. Please translate it,
as I do all the time, into the third
dimension as you dwell on the
energy, the excitement and the
sparkle of the people of all ages
whose names and achievements
are recorded here.
If, as H. G. Wells admonished,
“human history becomes more and
more a race between education and
disaster,” then the OES community
is indeed doing its part for the team
we all back to win, and doing it
well indeed.
Sincerely,
Peter W. Stevens
�He port From The President Of The Board Of Trustees
Dear Friends,
The 1990-91 year at OES was a
“year of transition.” We elected a
new president of the Board of
Trustees and installed a new head
master. This year was also marked
by success in enrollment, annual
giving and educational development.
Under the leadership of our new
headmaster, Peter Stevens, we re
newed our commitment to the longrange strategies previously approved
by the Board of Trustees and began
the initial implementation of our
strategic plan under the banner
“OES/21.”
Through the dedicated efforts of the
OES Development Tbam guided by
Ed Clark and Brenda Sloan, we
achieved a record level of contribu
tions to our Annual Fund during the
1990-91 year.
We are very grateful for the support
of the alumnae/i, parents and special
friends of OES who have given so
generously during the past year.
I would like to acknowledge several
major gifts received during the past
year in support of our capital develop
ment and educational programs.
• Major gifts toward the renovation
and debt retirement of SPARC
provided by Mr. 6= Mrs. Charles A.
Adams, Mr.
Mrs. Peter F. Bechen,
Mr. <5p Mrs. Edwin Hunt, Mr. &
Mrs. William T. C. Stevens and Mr.
Mrs. C. N. Winningstad.
• A $500,000 gift for SPARC renova
tion given by a dear friend of OES
who wishes to remain anonymous.
• A gift to network the dormitory
residences with the main com
puter system and to refurbish the
International Student Lounge was
also given anonymously.
• A donation by Thdaki and Sadako
Kawada to fund the Upper School
Global Studies Program.
• A special pledge from Mr.
Mrs.
Cecil Drinkward for the construc
tion of a new Bell Tbwer that will
serve as a central focal point of the
campus.
One of the greatest strengths of our
School is the level of volunteer sup
port from our parent community.
During the past year, this expression
of support reached a new level with
Julie Lewis’ and Jana Westlund’s vi
sion for a children’s park at OES. A
vast team of parents, friends and
donors gave their time, talent and
enthusiasm to this project. Together,
we created the “Aardvark Fun Park”
which will stand for years to come
as a monument to the dedication
and spirit of the OES community.
I would also like to recognize the ef
forts and dedication of Peter Hoff
man and his “tennis team” who put
together an extraordinary educa
tional tennis camp available to our
children as well as the community at
large.
We now begin a new school year
with record enrollment, a strong
financial base and a renewed sense
of direction focused on educational
excellence. As a result of the legacy
of leadership created by Leigh
Stephenson and Cecil Drinkward,
OES is well positioned for future
growth.
I would like to express my personal
thanks and appreciation to the
trustees, educational staff and
parents of OES who have given so
generously of their time to make
this such a special place for our
children. With your continued com
mitment, I believe that the “best is
yet to come . . ”

“Being an OES
Development volunteer
has been a personally
rewarding and
satisfying experience.
I’ve worked with many
wonderful, interesting
people, and I feel very
positive about OES
because of the
experiences that
Brinton and Matt had
there. It is nice to
associate with so many
people who feel the
same and support OES
so generously”

‘7 became involved in
the Alumni Association
when I moved back to
Portland from
California. Making all
the new friends and
renewing many old
friendships has been
very rewarding. I feel
satisfied knowing that
I have contributed, in
some small way, to
help the School that I
enjoyed so much when
I went there, and where
my granddaughter
enjoyed her high school

“Part of our job as
parents is to get
involved. For us, being
volunteers has been a
great way to keep in
touch with the School
and to see what
programs our children
are benefiting from,
first hand. It is an
opportunity to meet
and work with some
fantastic people, and
really make a
difference.”

�The Alumni Board President’s Corner
By Meridel Prideaux,
1991-92 Alumni Board President
The President’s Corner is a new
feature appearing in the Bell
Tower. Each issue will be written
by Meridel to inform our alumni
and community of the activities
and commitment that the Alumni
Board has to OES.
This is an exciting time to be part
of the OES community! This year,
the Alumni Association has made
some changes. In September, the
Alumni Board held its first monthy
meeting of the year By holding
monthly meetings, we hope to
increase the number of activities
that involve alumni and the OES
community. For the first time,
members of the board will attend a
day long “planning” retreat in
October.
I would like to invite you to attend
our 122nd Founder’s Day luncheon
on November 13, at the
Multnomah Athletic Club. The day
promises to be an exciting one!
Our guest speaker is John Nance,
a photo journalist who will address
the excitement of today’s changes
in the world and its effect on
today’s youth. For the first time, an
alumna/us will be awarded the
Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris
Distinguished Service Award.
At this time, the Alumni Office is
working to create a new and
revised version of the Alumni
Directory. We hope to have this
wonderful book completed by the
spring. If you haven’t completed
your directory survey, please take
a moment and fill out a form in the
back of this issue of the Bell

Tower. The directory will be a great
source of information and
networking for everyone.
Plans are being made for the 125th
year celebration to take place in
1994. One of the goals for the
alumni is to raise a birthday
endowment gift to the school of
$125,000. If you would like to be
involved in this once in a lifetime
event, please contact me or the
Alumni Office.
As you see, we have ambitious
goals and plans for the year.
Please join us, we would love to
meet you! If you have any
suggestions on how we can serve
our alumni community, please call
me.

THE
Volume 1, Number 2
�we work together to buck
national trends. The “we", of
course, is all of us: trustees,
administrators, parents,
alumni and friends. This is our
common obligation to our
future.
Dear Friends,
Great teachers make great
schools.
The OES Statement of
Purpose advises us to
“choose, retain and reward
skilled and caring profession
als for our faculty.” So we do,
and in this issue of The
Belltower you will meet a few
of them and read about what
makes them great. We honor
them, as they honor us and
their students through their
own dedication, service and
pursuit of excellence.
But great teachers are an
endangered species, increas
ingly rare in the greater world
of American education, where
teaching is no longer the
honored profession it used to
be — or, in fact, still is in both
Asian and European coun
tries. In America, where
compensation is meager,
opportunity for professional
advancement is slim and
respect from students and
parents alike, sparse.
We are engaged in OES/21,
or OES for the 21st Century,
a long-range planning
process that is setting specific
agendas for the next decade
in response to policy goals
set three years ago by the
Board of Trustees. This
agenda will be published in
late summer 1992 and will
become our blueprint for
operation and program
decisions. At the heart of this
process is what the School
must do for its faculty. These
include:
• Providing compensation that
honors great teaching, that
does it justice, that offers
much more than the
“genteel poverty" that
teachers have come to
expect.
• Providing development
programs that encourage
and reward professionalism,
that promote the profes
sional and personal growth
required for a career of
working effectively with
young people.
• Providing supportive and
collaborative evaluation
programs that offer avenues
for growth.
• Providing outstanding, wellequipped facilities in which
to teach.
• Providing increasing
opportunities for teachers to
be in control of their
professional environments,
their curricula, their pro
grams, and their lives at this
School.
Even while we are immersed
in the planning process, we
are positioning ourselves to
provide the resources so
necessary to make these
things happen. The OES/21
Program Development
Committee, under the
leadership of Trustee and
Development Chair Tony
Adams, has begun the
identification of priorities, in
preparation for the needs that
OES/21 will underscore.
We are seeking, nationally, a
new Director of Development
to coordinate all of our
“external affairs" —
fundraising, public relations
and admissions — including
efforts to raise the resources
necessary for the implementa
tion of OES/21. To get things
rolling, the Program Develop
ment Committee has pledged
$100,000 over two years to
augment our development
operations budgets. The
extraordinary vision that
generated this gift is a
magnificent catalyst, a
wonderful example of what it
will take to keep our faculty
great, for this is our primary
challenge.
The unfolding of OES/21 over
the coming months will offer
many opportunities to
celebrate great teaching and
great teachers. I hope you
enjoy the glimpse that this
issue brings you.
And I hope you will all take an
opportunity to visit the School
in 1992 and share with us the
excitement I have every day
— the joy that comes from
studying and working with the
best!
The greatness of OES is
inextricably tied to the
greatness of our faculty.
Therefore, an imperative in all
our planning must be the
nourishing of our faculty as
Most sincerely,

OES Students Attend
City Club Sessions
Thanks to the work of OES Middle
School Humanities teacher, Alice
Simpson, ninth graders at OES
received a special invitation from
The City Club to learn about
contemporary civic issues and the
world of public affairs.
This program is conducted in
conjunction with Youth Today, Inc.,
a non-profit organization that
teaches young people how to be
advocates for themselves and their
peers by working on community
problems. Youth Today works with
students to help them gain crosscultural experiences and develop
skills in critical thinking, group
interaction and facilitation, commu
nications, research and analysis.
Students gather from private and
public schools throughout the city in
groups of 10 to attend the City
Club’s Friday programs. Students
representing OES are Woody
English, Shane Hoffman, Kirsten
Martens, Heather Patsis, Jon Reali,
Joel Sankey, Adriane Thornton and
Courtney Voelker.
A highlight of this program was an
opportunity to attend a special

taping of Town Hall at the Pioneer
Courthouse Square in downtown
Portland this fall. In addition to this
taping, which offered the rare
opportunity for citizens and public
officials to exchange views face to
face, the City Club was recognized
for 75 years of service to the
Portland Metro community.
“At the City Club's 75th Anniversary
celebration, the young people were
introduced as a “Living Gift” to the
City. This in essence meant that
these same young people would
become the City Club’s first Youth
Standing Committee, quite an honor
for them,” explained Alice who is
also executive director of Youth
Today.
This honor brought with it the
responsibility of identifying an issue
of importance to the city. Students
will select, research and present
their report and recommendations to
the City Club later this year. “Their
work is intended to be a contribution
to the quality of life in Portland and
certainly worthy of community
service recognition," Alice con
cluded.
Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal

all of the emerging literature is
telling us is most important. We can
concentrate on teaching students
how to solve problems and how to

OES teachers on
teaching at OES
A sampling of OES teachers were
recently asked to share their views
on why teaching at OES is different
John LeCavalier, who holds a B.S.
from Utah State University has
taught Upper School Science since
1989.
Cindy Marshall joined OES as a
Kindergarten teacher in 1990. She
earned a B.S. and an M.A.T. from
Lewis and Clark.
Kris Van Hatcher, who is the
Director of Athletics, graduated from
OES in 1970. He holds a B.S. from
Springfield College and joined the
staff in 1974.
Pam Vohnson, joined OES as an
Upper School French teacher in
1976. She holds a B.S. and an
M.A.T. from Portland State Univer
sity.
Sue Larson, who earned a B.S. at
Marylhurst College, joined OES as a
Lower School teacher in 1975. Most
recently, she has taught fifth grade.
John LeCavalier
The BellTower: How does teach
ing at OES differ from teaching in
the public school system?
OREGON
EPISCOPAL
SCHOOL
John: At OES, we are freed from
district guidelines which bind
teachers in public schools. We have
personal autonomy. Because of the
need for students to take standard
ized tests, many teachers in the
public schools are required to teach
students to take tests. We are driven
less by content so we can work on
The BellTower: What can stu
dents look forward to at OES?
John: Obviously we have smaller
classrooms. And obviously we can
provide more individual attention.
But more important than that — we
offer such a fine campus with
wetlands and woodlands for field
research. These offer us so many
more opportunities for independent
study. Of course, some of the public
schools have access to wetlands
and woodlands, but they aren't right
in their backyard.
The BellTower: Science is often
perceived as a combination of
experiments, lecture and theory,
yet last fall you sponsored a
debate on the Salmon issue. How
common is it to find debate used
in a science class?
John: In science education there is
a temptation to do all lecture. This is
the wrong way to do things. I still
make it through the units, but here I
have support to do the right thing, to
make the pedagogically correct
decisions.
Schools are traditionally slow to
respond to change, but because our
bureaucracy is so much smaller, we
can respond so much faster. We
can act! Teachers in the public
schools propose great projects,
but they have to fight so hard for
approval that they usually give up.
We can do it without having to
struggle.
Cindy Marshall
The BellTower: What have you
found since coming to OES?
Cindy: At OES teachers receive
more validation; they are more
valued. Its such a close community
4
where you really get to know the
parents. It's a feeling. When you are
in a big school district, you're pretty
anonymous. Here at OES we have
a connection, a sense of
community.
I knew I wanted to come here — I
just didn't know how much I’d like it.
I know this is going to sound corny,
but I NEVER don't want to come to
work here.
The BellTower: How did you learn
about OES?
Cindy: My husband is an alumnus.
He attended in the first year they
allowed men. He told me that when
he went to school here, he and his
friends used to sit around and talk
about what this school could be.
After visiting last year, he said it now
is what they had discussed it could
be.
The BellTower: What stands out
when you think of OES?
Cindy: One of "my parents" said
that when she came down the road,
with the way the mist sometimes
hangs by the wetlands, that it was
like coming to Camelot.
OES has all kinds of wonderful
things, but most wonderful are the
people. We give kids such a great
start. The Primary Class program
is such a great thing. We have
something not very many schools
have.
We have the freedom to worship as
we wish. Everything is done in a
very non-denominational way. We
have the freedom to talk about
values in a spiritual way.
The BellTower: As a teacher,
what is most important to you?
Cindy: The class size is heaven.
You can work so much more closely
with each student. And then we
have the woods, the wetlands and
access to facilities that are so much
more sophisticated than most
schools.

With the Lower, Middle and Upper
Schools on the same campus, we
are geographically close. This leads
to an openness, a friendliness.
There is also this flexibility — a
respect for what’s going on here.
Kris Van Hatcher ’70
The BellTower: Having attended
OES as a student for 12 years
yourself, what brought you back
here to teach?
Kris: When I first came here, it was
because they offered me a job. I like
to think they offered me the job
because they liked what I did in high
school. I had pretty much been
acting as the assistant PE coach
when I was in school.
The BellTower: Why have you
stayed here?
Kris: I've enjoyed opportunities to
develop the program. I suppose I've
stayed as long as I have because
I've had a chance to have SPARC,
a track and to develop the program.
The BellTower: What separates
the OES program from athletic
programs at other schools?
Kris: The most significant aspect of
our program is the opportunity to
participate. The bottom line is this: if
we have kids interested, we don't
cut. No matter what the ability, we
try to make them feel comfortable,
to make sure no one makes fun of
them. Not only do they have an
opportunity to participate, they are
encouraged to participate.
The BellTower: Do you find this
interferes with your win/loss
record?
Kris: We want to win as much as
anyone else, but the main goal is to
make it a positive experience. If you
give kids a chance to participate,
you will have your share of wins.
Look at our record — for the size of
this school, we have a very impres
sive record.
The BellTower: OES has been
noted for its academics. How do
you feel the athletics program fits
into the overall picture?
Kris: A large number of students
turn out for sports despite the 3-4
hours of homework they have each
night. They need a release, and we
make it a fun and positive experi
ence.
Pam Vohnson
The BellTower: What do you like
best about teaching?
Pam: The unexpected. Some of my
unplanned classes have been the
best. I'm a great one for writing out
lesson plans, but I love that there
will always be a surprise. There is
nothing routine about teaching, even
though I — yes, I admit it — get
tired of teaching “le subjonctif."
The BellTower: In our society, it
seems teachers don’t always get
the respect they deserve. Do you
have thoughts on this?
Pam: I do. Everybody's had a
teacher, just like everybody’s had a
mom or dad. There's no training for
being a parent. And although some
do it badly, most people assume
that almost anyone can be a parent.
They easily extrapolate this to
teaching. I wouldn’t presume to tell
a surgeon or an attorney how to
handle a case, and yet teachers get
all kinds of advice every day. Too
many people believe anybody can
teach.
The BellTower: Why do you
teach?
Pam: Students are why I continue
to teach — they are all consuming,
busily growing and learning. They
demand too much of you to let your
personal life, with its little problems,
get in the way. I find it energizing.

Sue Larson
The BellTower: You have taught
at OES for a number of years.
Can you tell us what has kept you
here?
Sue: One of the reasons I love to
teach at OES is that I'm allowed to
be creative, in fact, encouraged to
be creative. The curriculum is to be
used as a guideline, rather than
being totally dictated. I can tailor the
curriculum to meet the needs of the
students — a different group each
year.
OES teachers try to teach as a
team. The School makes sure that
teachers share the same basic
philosophy, though the teaching
styles may be different. And that’s
good.
The BellTower: What about
structure?
Sue: Structure is a security blanket.
Kids need to know that there are
boundaries. Having the security of
more structure is good. Part of
teaching kids about the real world
involves teaching them about
boundaries and restrictions. That’s
not stifling.
The BellTower: How do you
perceive OES students?
Sue: I teach 5th grade, and the kids
coming into my classes are already
able to write sentences and
paragraphs, and they are working to
develop their problem solving skills.
The Lower School students at OES
are trained very well. I think that's
part of the reason they have so
much more freedom in what they
are studying in the Upper School.
This is a unique school with unique
kids. They are bright, healthy and
eager to learn. Our kids have
extremely strong, solid written
communication skills. They also
have refined study skills. Kids are
expected to do well here. They have
to turn their papers back in cor
rected if there are mistakes. The
expectations are much higher, but
when you expect kids to do well,
they'll rise to the challenge.

Pam Vohnson wins NEH Teacher-Scholar grant
The National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH) has selected
OES French Teacher Pamela
Vohnson as Oregon’s NEH Teacher
Scholar for 1992.
Pam was notified in December that
she is one of 53 selected humanities
teachers — roughly one per state
plus the District of Columbia, Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands —
who will pursue a year of academic
research beginning in September
1992. Each NEH award provides a
stipend to replace the teacher's
annual salary or to supplement
sabbatical pay. The award is to be
formally announced in February.
In its fourth year, the NEH program
is designed to give teachers
adequate time for rigorous study of
their subject areas. Pam explains
that, although the award is not to
be used for curriculum development,
it obviously has an impact on
teaching. “With this program, NEH
is making a statement about
professionalism — treating teachers
as scholars, not just lesson plan
ners. The award is specifically for
research in the humanities; there
are many other awards and
opportunities for curriculum
development."
Noting that the French Revolution
outside of Paris is often overlooked,
Pam's NEH application proposed an
in-depth study of two counterrevolu
tionary movements that occurred in
the provinces of Vendee and Midi.
In 1990, Pam received an OES
Summer Stipend grant to research
the subject and found that the
allotted two weeks “was barely
enough to scratch the surface."
According to Pam some of the
most shocking counterrevolutionary
stories come out of the Vendee
region where the people remain
bitter about the French Revolution
200 years later. One of the grass
roots movements Pam will investi
gate began in Vendee in reaction
to two decrees. By the time the
“It is amazing that
two of the first four
NEH awards have
been granted to
teachers from OES.”

language to use it as a tool to learn
some other subject as early in their
language study as possible."
Pam has been teaching French at
OES since 1976, when she took the
job as a last minute opening, and
directing plays since 1986. Both of
her parents were one-room school
house teachers in North Dakota, and
she says there was never any
question in her mind that she would
be anything but a teacher. "And
students are why I continue to teach,"
says Pam who finds them "energiz
ing."
Before her fifteen and a half years at
OES, Pam taught in public schools
and did substitute teaching, some
thing she philosophically calls “difficult
anywhere" despite the fact that she
once had a class get up leave as she
walked in. She has also taught at
Lewis and Clark College, George Fox
College and summers at PSU. "I'd
always intended to teach college,"
says Pam, “But I'd been at OES
about a year when I was blown away
by the realization that I liked it better."
rebellion was put down, 250,000 to
500,000 people had died and plans
to demolish the province were
uncovered. The Revolutionary army
intended to poison the water, burn
the fields, raze the forests and
destroy all buildings. Again using an
extensive bibliography of primary
and secondary sources, she will
look at a different type of counter
revolutionary movement in the Midi.
To conclude her project she plans
to write a journal article and share
her research at seminars and
conferences.
During her undergraduate and
graduate studies at Portland State
University, Pam concentrated on
French language and literature but
has pursued a growing interest in
history for the past seven years. "I
am very interested in the co
teaching of foreign language and
history,” says Pam who includes
considerable history in her French
classes. “I feel it is fundamental for
students who are learning a second

Headmaster Peter W. Stevens says,
"It is amazing that two of the first four
NEH awards have been granted to
teachers from OES.” David Streight
was selected as Oregon's NEH/
Reader's Digest Teacher-Scholar in
1989, the first year of the program.
(For the first two years, the program
was partially funded by Reader's
Digest and the DeWitt Wallace
family.) Pam adds that a significant
percentage of the NEH grants have
gone to independent school teachers.
"Twelve years ago the NEH offered
summer stipends only to college
teachers — today there is this grant
specifically for elementary and
secondary teachers in the humani
ties," she says.
The National Endowment for the
Humanities is an independent federal
agency that supports education,
research, preservation and public
programs in the humanities.

Students debate
fate of salmon at
mock public
hearing
Students in John LeCavalier's ninth
grade biology class conducted a
mock public hearing on Wednesday,
November 6, in the Great Hall for
the Upper and Middle Schools. The
issue? Should the Snake River
Spring, Summer and Fall Chinook
salmon be listed as threatened or
endangered species under the
Endangered Species Act?
Students spent the month of
October studying the biological,
political and economic issues and
controversies surrounding the listing
of the wild salmon. A series of guest
speakers, presenting a full range of
viewpoints, actively engaged
students in the decision-making
process.
In addition to researching and
writing position papers, students
prepared themselves to role-play
representatives from key constitu
ency groups. Students also devel
oped presentations to communicate
their positions on the salmon listings
as well as stock answers — some
complete with characterizations —
to questions likely to be leveled
during the debate, which included
some lively participation from the
audience. Audience questions and
statements, in fact, represented a
full range of opinions from "Who
cares? They’re just fish.” to “Stop
and think! If you let those fish die
today, what will we let die tomor
row? The next day? Next year?
When will it be our turn?”
The final listing decision was
rendered by the students represent
ing the National Marine Fisheries
Service — the fish won based on
purely biological, as opposed to
environmental, criteria.
As a conclusion to the project, all
students wrote a letter to an elected
official sharing their personal
position and suggestions for action.

Olympic Fencing trials held
at OES
OES Fencing Coach Colleen Olney
has been busy organizing the
United States Fencing Association
(USFA) Olympic Trials #2 which
were held here at SPARC (our
newly renovated Sports and
Recreation Center) on January 1820, 1992. Having organized similar
events in the past, Colleen says
SPARC is an excellent sight. “OES
personnel have always cooperated
in anything we needed. We have a
great volunteer work force, and
Portland is a beautiful city. The
"powers-that-be" said this was the
only place that could successfully
run this large event without major
problems," said Colleen.
All five weapon events were held:
men’s foil, women’s foil, men’s
epee, women’s epee and sabre.
Though the 1992 Olympics will only
hold events in four of the five
(women’s epee will not be included
until 1996), women’s epee points
were awarded for the World
Championships which will be held in
Havana, Cuba next July.
In addition to awarding Olympic
points, the selection of the USFA
National Team was made at this
event. The members of this team
will receive US Olympic Committee
funding for the 1992 Olympics.

Learning style expert advises parents, teachers
“Kids are different today,” says Jane
Healy, PhD, an educational psy
chologist who specializes in
learning. ‘They may be more
intelligent, but schools need to move
to meet their needs. Independent
schools like OES and Catlin Gabel
have the chance to do that quickly,
well and effectively.”
1
▲ Nationally known learning
specialist. Jane Healy, PhD., also
discussed learning styles at a joint
afternoon OES/Catlin faculty
meeting. Here, Headmaster Peter
Stevens andJane Healy stoppedfor
a few words before the session which
was held at OES
Parents from both schools attended
a special presentation by Dr. Healy
on “Raising Good Students in a
Video Age" on November 6 at the
Cabell Center. Earlier that day she
met with both faculties to discuss
what kids need to learn. “They need
interactive language, and they need
inner language." She explained the
latter as a form of “verbal mediation
— or talking through what we're
doing." Why? "Because language
development is necessary for higher
level thinking."
According to Dr. Healy, growing
brains are physically shaped by
experience. She explained that
today's children and teens, who
are bombarded by a fast-paced
media culture, develop different
habits and neural foundations for
learning than did students in
previous decades. "Nintendo? We
don't know exactly what it does, but
we do know it makes the brain
physiologically different."
Century? Dr. Healy advocates not
rushing through curriculum. “Society
is enchanted with speed," she says,
"but brain growth does not need to be
rushed."
She notes that there are implications
to her theories. “We can change what
we're doing and teach listening and
language skills differently, or we can
accept the fact that times are different
and that we are watching evolution in
progress. Print literacy has been with
human evolution only a short time,
maybe it’s only a transitional evolu
tionary phase."
What should we do? Dr. Healy
recommends schools use active,
hands-on projects and technology.
We should also encourage visual
literacy, for example analyzing,
planning and making videos.
Dr. Healy is the author of “Endan
gered Minds: Why Our Children Don't
Think" and “Your Child’s Growing
Mind."

3. Attract to campus youngsters
and their parents who might
not otherwise know much
about OES
4. Provide summer employment
opportunities for OES faculty

Two of the School’s major summer
endeavors, the Shukutoku Ex
change program and the Summer
Wonder/Quest programs, form the
base of summer activities at OES.
The fifth summer exchange program
with Shukutoku Elementary School

students to Tokyo, Japan for tours
and homestays and brought
Japanese students to Portland to
experience life with OES host
families along with classes in
English/Japanese, art and sports at

sessions on topics ranging from
soccer to science and computers to
culture for children in pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The program
also offered Extended Care and a

the School’s needs. Shukutoku and
Summer Wonder/Quest employed an
additional 16 OES faculty and staff,
11 alumni and six non-OES staff.
• Volleyball Camp for grades 5-8
• Professionally Taught Tennis
Camp for all ages, including an
adult-only weekend camp
• Fencing Camp for all ages
featuring Olympic coaches
• Art Camp for ages 11-17
• Triple Threat Basketball Clinic for
grades 6-12
• Think Lab for grades 2-4
• Portland General Electric held a
management-level retreat on
campus for two days
• Portland State University’s Math
Learning Center held Teacher
Education courses (16 in all) on
the OES campus
• Good Samaritan Hospital held a
full-day department manager’s
meeting in the Guild room
• Apprenticeships in ScienceEngineering (ASE) held a oneday symposium bringing nearly
90 young scientists together
under a format similar to the
School’s annual Science Fair
These programs brought more than
160 OES and 140 “non-OES"
students and/or adults to the OES
campus. Shukutoku and Summer
Wonder/Quest involved an addi
tional 93 OES and 97 “non-OES”
students. This adds up to more than
250 OES community members, plus
almost 240 “non-OES" individuals,
who enjoyed the School’s beautiful
facilities, exceptional instruction and
excellent teaching staff!
....
14
Programs other than Shukutoku and
Wonder/Quest (which have their own
budgets) generated over $35,000 in
revenues, of which approximately
$14,000 went into the general operating
budget for the School’s use in running
and improving facilities and programs.
OES hopes that this is the beginning of
continued success and growth for the
Summer Program. OES has a number
of quality facilities available for use,
including, but not limited to, the newly
renovated SPARC, seven outdoor tennis
courts, a gym, soccer fields, a running
track, many classrooms, a full-service
cafeteria, a meeting room, one 30-bed
and one 25-bed dormitory and 15 acres
of educational wetlands.
For next summer the OES/21 Summer
Committee is considering a program for
middle school-aged students, an English
as a Second Language program and
expanded Upper School offerings. The
addition of adult courses, as well as
potential for a program involving youth
at risk, are also being explored.
All of these programs promise to meet
the goals established for the Summer
Program operations. This also benefits
members of the community at large by
offering tremendous opportunities to
experience OES for all its value — an
experience that OES hopes will stay
with them wherever they may go.

for AP scores
Six members of the Class of 1991 at
OES have been recognized by the
College Board for exceptional
achievement on the college-level
Advanced Placement (AP) Exami
nations they took last year. Only
about 10 percent of the 359,000
students who took the AP tests last
May performed at levels high
enough to merit such recognition.
The College Board recognizes three
levels of achievement.
Andrea Bell qualified for the AP
Scholar with Distinction
Award by earning grades of 3.00 or
above on five or more AP Exams
with an average exam grade of at
least 3.50.
Anna Martens qualified for the AP
Scholar with Honor Award by
earning grades of 3.00 or above on
four or more AP Exams, with an
average exam grade of at least
3.25.
Sarah Bechen, Sherrill Bennington,

1893—1990
▲ Katharine Graham Barbey’s
nephew, Graham J. Barbey, presented
OES Headmaster Peter IF. Stevens
with a checkfrom the 1913 Alumna’s
estate in November. The bequest will
endow a scholarship in her name.
“I remember...the large wooden
building that stands where the Vista
St. Clair is today...Sister Sara
Josephine who kept discipline and
pursued the wrong-doer with a great
flapping of veils and jangling of
keys...Chapel where we passed
notes in our hymnals...arriving by
street-car...experimenting in our
rooms with cigarettes — a great
crime...and the lovely spring days
we had English lessons on the
lawn," wrote Katharine Graham
Barbey in the 1980s.
husband accomplished 86 amphibi
ous landings in the Pacific and was
fondly known as “Uncle Dan the
Amphibious Man.”
An alumna of the Class of 1913,
Katharine Graham continued to
cherish her memories of The Hall,
and upon her death in November
1990, left a bequest to Oregon
Episcopal School. Her nephew,
Graham J. Barbey, remarked, “She
was always so proud of having been
a graduate of St. Helens Hall." The
$158,000 bequest will be used to
endow the Katharine Graham
Barbey Scholarship Fund.
After World War II, Daniel (now an
admiral) and Katharine were
stationed in Bremerton, WA where
he was Commandant of the 13th
Naval District until his retirement.
Following this, Washington State
Governor Arthur Langlie appointed
Admiral Barbey Head of Civil
Defense and the Barbeys moved to
Olympia.
Born August 2, 1893, in Oregon
City, Katharine-spelled-with-an-A as
she liked to emphasize, married
Navy Lt. Commander Daniel
Edward Barbey in 1927. She
accompanied him throughout his
Navy career. When he was Com
mandant of the 10th Naval District,
which was headquartered in San
Juan, Puerto Rico, she entertained
numerous cabinet members and
senators as well as President and
Mrs. Truman. According to her
nephew Graham J. Barbey, her

A fellow alumna and friend, Pat
Apperson '48 JC said, "Her gradua
tion picture doesn’t really do her
justice. Katharine was always a very
beautiful woman. She really took
advantage of her incredible opportu
nities. She took opera tours of
Europe...and was entertained by
Madame Chang Kai Chek."
In 1971, Katharine sponsored and
then christened the U.S. Naval
Destroyer Escort USS Barbey FF
1088, which has visited Portland
four times for the Rose Festival.
She was a member of St. John’s
Episcopal Church, St. Mary’s Guild
of the Church, honorary trustee for
life of the Washington State Capitol
Historical Association, all of
Olympia. Katharine left a portion of
her estate to the Daniel E. Barbey
Room at the Maritime Museum in
Astoria, OR.
Planned gifts do more than preserve memories
The story of Katharine Graham
Barbey is compelling. Her fondness
for her old School, combined with her
nephew’s suggestion of “doing
something for St. Helens Hall," will
make a significant impact. Her legacy
is a tribute that will preserve many
lasting memories. The Katharine
Graham Barbey Scholarship will
support qualified students at OES
who will come away with lasting
memories of their own.
Gifts of this nature are becoming
more popular; each is special in it’s
own way, and each is shaped by
individual memories. Many alumni, as
well as several parents, faculty and
friends, have made similar provi
sions on behalf of OES. We recently
heard from former Lower School
Principal Betty Jo Wright and her
husband Jim Wright, who said that
their “thirty years of association with
OES were so rewarding" that they
have included the establishment of
an endowment fund for the LS
Library as part of their will. Upper
School parents, Thomas and Lani
Thornton also recently sent word
that the School had been included in
their estate planning saying, “We
could never do enough for this
wonderful School."
17
There are many ways to perpetuate
the health and excellence of OES.
We are very grateful, indeed, for the
vision and thoughtfulness of these
and other benefactors whose
support helps secure the future of
the School. If you have an interest in
making a planned gift to OES,
contact the Development Office for
information about opportunities and
programs.
Planned gifts do more than preserve
memories; they foster the growth of
our School for future generations to
treasure.

Young Alums Share College Experiences
Recent graduates gathered in the
new Alumni Center on the OES
campus for lunch and an opportunity
to swap news on Tuesday, January
7. This Young Alumni Gathering,
sponsored jointly by the College
Counseling Office and the Alumni
Association, began with a light
lunch. During the first hour, recent
graduates from the classes of 19881991 poured over old annuals and
caught up on what their OES friends
had been doing in the past months.
An informal panel-style presentation
in the Great Hall, following lunch,
allowed the returning OESians an
occasion to share their college
experiences with students.
Speakers encouraged students to
carefully explore the colleges they
planned to attend. Regardless of the
final choice, the alumni drew a
correlation between their involve
ment in extracurricular activities —
sports, academics or social groups
— and their satisfaction with college
experiences.
Their suggestions for selecting an
institute of higher learning included
taking into consideration the
availability of cultural events around
the school, the academic challenges
and the future. “The East Coast is a
great place, but keep in mind,”
Kathryn Findlay '90, who attends
school at Mt. Holyoke remarked,
“that if you attend school Back East,
your friends will be Back East. I
don't think I want to live there, yet all
my friends will be on the East Coast.
I feel as though I don’t even know
anyone out here anymore.”

Though many students claimed they
had no “pearls of wisdom", the
experiences they shared held their
audience captive. Hidden in their
willingness to share experiences,
both humorous and painful, were
pearls of wisdom even they did not
suspect. Chip Van Winkle '89, who
owns his own business and is
presently attending school in the
evenings, shared his feelings on the
path he has taken, “Growing up ...
Part of me loves it; part of me really
hates it. Go to a good private school
while you can. When I look back
now, the teachers I hated the most
when I went here are the ones I now
appreciate the most.”
Though the audience heard many
stories outlining the challenges they
can anticipate when they go away to
college next year, Adam Kobos '91,
who is presently attending Amherst,
best summarized the feelings of the
Young Alums when he told listeners,
“OES is preparing you as well as
anything could.”

Nance observed, "We don’t see

become more aware. We need to
learn to think — to bring the best

learning from the past.

�Muriel Gabriel Heltzel ’30 accepts first award
Excerpts from Muriel Gabriel
Heltzel's words accepting the first
Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris
Distinguished Alumni Award:
"Thank you, Meridel, and a heartfelt
thank you to the Alumni Board for
thinking I was worthy to receive this
honor. Also, I surely thank Bishop
Morris, his wife, her three sisters and
his sister, all who made the long and
dangerous trip by water from New
England to come to far away Oregon
to start Saint Helens Hall, and I feel
very privileged to be the first
recipient of this award. Anything I
have been able to accomplish has
been done with joy and enthusiasm
and with the help of many others
who also deserve this award and
who always said “yes" when I asked
for help and with the support and
cooperation of my husband of 54
years and my family.”
Muriel shared a number of memen
tos from her days at SHH and after
reading the invitation to her com
mencement, commented, “I am sure
Sister Superior would never have
dreamt that that rascally Muriel
Gabriel would receive this honor 61
years later."

�Two OESians meet in D.C.
soup kitchen
Courtney Hayes '89, who is at
Stanford majoring in human biology
with a child development focus,
recently spent a quarter Washington
D.C. where she — surprise — ran
into Kevin Schilling ’86 at a soup
kitchen called So Others May eat
(SOME).
Courtney was serving an internship
at the national offices of Head Start
which involves 20 hours each week
plus a full course load, seminars
and tutorials. At Stanford’s Bass
Center, Courtney saw a bulletin
board announcement asking for
volunteers to work at SOME. They
needed people to help serve daily
breakfast to about 500 people in two
hours, so she signed up for Mon
days.
On her first Monday of “furiously
slinging hash,” Courtney glanced up
at the person next to her during a
“lull". It was Kevin! And needless to
say both were very surprised.
Kevin, it turns out, is a first year med
student at Georgetown, and had
been recruited by a similar an
nouncement.
After considerable laughter, both
agreed that “we wouldn’t be where
we are today" without our experi
ences at OES.

�Dear Friends,
Late in April, OES teacher
Kathy Narramore’s fourth
grade class invited me to their
“-ology” presentations. Unable
to resist a fourth grade
invitation, and, eager to
satisfy my own curiosity, I
went along. Before reaching
Kathy’s classroom, however, I
was waylaid by the extraordi
nary, high tech, large-scale
constructions of Jane KenneyNorberg’s LEGO® Maniacs: a
five-foot, hydraulically
operated “suspension" bridge,
a couple of helicopters and
several other creative
inventions — some fantastic
and some recognizable, built
in an After School class.
After watching how each
extraordinary piece worked
and trying to understand the
fascinating explanations of
our young engineers, who
articulated their designs and
construction — a remarkable
combination of mathematics,
electrical and hydraulic
engineering, architecture,
kinesthetics, aesthetics and
sheer practicality — I entered
the wonderful world of fourth
grade “-ologies”.
What a day this was! With my
engineering training I felt wellequipped for Kathy’s girls
and boys. But wow! I encoun
tered a musicologist who
expounded on Beethoven
and a mineralogist who taught
me about a plethora of semi
precious and exotic items that
I might otherwise have
dismissed as mere rocks and
stones. The pathologist was
dissecting a fetal pig and was
delighted to show me the vital
chest and cranial organs,
wondrously revealed under
her 4th grade scalpel with
sections awesomely magni
fied under her neighbor’s
microscope. An ornithologist
and I discussed the fate of the
peregrine falcon and the
beauty of the American eagle,
and I debated the speed and
strength of leopards with a
young zoologist.
When I met with these young
scholars, it seemed only
natural that I should think of
Peter Relic, President of the
National Association of
Independent Schools, who
visited our campus in late
April. While in Portland to
address the spring meeting of
Heads of members of the
Pacific Northwest Association
of Independent Schools (our
regional accrediting group),
Peter admonished us to ask
our students — and ourselves
— “Why?” He reminded us of
the need to break out of the
molds of the past, to take the
lid off, to explore, to attempt
the road less travelled.
Both Kathy and Jane are
venturing in ways that great
teachers pursue. They’re
called “high risk/high gain”.
And judging from this
observer’s visits on that one
day, our young scientists/
scholars have indeed
achieved “high gain”. They
are asking questions, and
they are understanding.
And this is what it’s all about,
this teaching and learning
process of ours. Our teachers
are learners themselves — all
the time. Our students are
also teachers, of each other
and of their teachers, not to
mention humble visitors like
me.
In this issue you will read
about my recent trip to Tokyo,
where I joined in the first
meeting of the Pacific Rim
Advisory Council of OES. We
asked our friends from four
East and Southeast Asian
countries many questions.
“Why send your young people
to America for schooling?
Why send them to OES?”
Their answers were clear.
“You encourage children to
ask questions, to try new
things, to attempt (and
possibly fail), to explore and
to dare. You validate effort."
This answer lived for me that
one day in our wonderful
Lower School, along with
echoes of Peter Relic’s
prescriptions. And I know why
OES — and schools like ours
— thrive, and why great
people like Kathy and Jane
teach and work here, anc why
great kids like Hideki and
Edwin, Dwight and Jessica
Kathryn and Laura, Alexander
and Alexandra, Susan, Erik
Chris, Lynn, James, Kyle,
Liam, Evan and Anees can
become “-ologists” for a day
or a week — and scholars
and humanists for a lifetime!
And I am heartened about the
future of education in our
land.
Visit us. Meet these kids and
teachers, and wonder with
them, as I do!
Sincerely,
Peter W. Stevens

Guests and projects make Africa
come alive for young students
A long time ago in
Africa
The people were sad.
the people were mad,
They had no stories to
make them laugh or
cry.
The stories belonged to
the God in the Sky7
Ananse knew just what
to do
For he was smart and
clever too.
He made a web up to
the Sky7
And asked Nyame to let
him try
To earn the stories He
kept hidden away...
...So Ananse t<M>k the
golden box of stories
back to earth,
To the people of his
village.
▲ This year's Lower School Global Studies program involved students in
Pre-Kindergarten through 2nd Grade in an intensive, hands-on study of
Africa. Many parents and guests, including Marianna Bomholdt, shared
a wealth ofstories, photographs, knowledge and artifacts from the huge
and varied continent.
And when he opened
the box
All the stories scattered
to the corners of the
world, including this

Students explore the art of international
negotiations
Pretend you’re a Japanese diplo
mat. The U.S.S.R., as such, no
longer exists, but “Russia” is actively
seeking foreign aid. You are
interested in Russia’s oil reserves
but so are the United States, Great
Britain and France. What are you
going to do?
“Think Japanese!” was history
teacher Corbet Clark’s often
repeated advice to the nine Upper
School students representing Japan
in a multi-school international
negotiation simulation. “For OES
students, understanding the
problems facing Japan was easy.
The challenge was how to think, and
then act, in the way a high-level
Japanese diplomat would think and
act — not as a typically forthright
and assertive American.”
i
The International Negotiation
Project (INP) is offered as an activity
at OES. It is run by Joyce Kaufman,
Ph.D., of the political science
department at Whittier College and
supported by a grant from the
United States Institute of Peace.
Communications equipment links 15
West Coast schools, allowing the 15
countries represented to send
messages via computer and phone
lines. In its second year of participa
tion, OES is still the only Oregon
school involved.

year with INP.
participate out of an interest in
international affairs; others enjoy
working with computers.
Students received background
material on Japanese political,
economic, military and diplomatic
conditions which they then applied
to a scenario set six months in the
future. Other countries represented
included The United States, China,
Great Britain, Korea, The Philip
pines, India, Taiwan, France,
Germany, Mexico, Brazil and
Russia, which the OES team called
“Country X” since the recently
dissolved U.S.S.R. had not decided
on a permanent name at the time of
the simulation.
Modeled on a similar program from
the East Coast, INP seeks to let
students experience something
close to international negotiating
and learn more about international
issues in the process. The simula
tion is also designed to teach
students how to deal with language
barriers and translations by
presenting some on-line transmis
sions in Spanish.
Though Corbet was allowed to give
examples, he was not permitted to
help during simulations. Students
noted, however, that he provided
lots of paper, referring to the
considerable research and prepara
tion required for the project.
According to Corbet, some students

With three to six countries on-line at
once — sending messages fast and
furiously — the one-hour confer
ences are always the highlight of
the simulation. Students have to
deal with personality conflicts and
transmission breakdowns — it's
hard to make other countries think
what you want them to think.
‘There were no winners. No end of
the game. Just real-life sense of
some problems solved and some
left hanging,” said Corbet. Learning
about the art of negotiating included
some fine distinctions for the
students: be assertive but not
aggressive, let others believe they
are receiving important things, and,
sometimes, say and do nothing —
it’s best.
�Mock trial team wins spectacularly in debut case
Each year, organizers of the Oregon
Law Related Education Project,
commonly referred to as Mock
Trials, draft a fictitious case for high
school students in public and private
schools throughout the state to
argue. The Oregon Law Related
Education Project is unique because
the students involved must prepare
cases for both the plaintiff and the
defendant.
This year’s case involved a civil
lawsuit against a school district.
The plaintiff — a student who had
passed all his classes, yet was
unable to meet the basic graduation
requirements — brought an educa
tional malpractice suit against a
school district. The student asked
for $20,000 to pay for schooling, so
he could acquire the skills needed to
meet criteria established for
graduation.
In this, their first year competing in
the Mock Trial competition, OES
Upper School students gave a
spectacular performance during the
first round of the Mock Trials which
took place March 6 and 7. Of the 24
teams competing, OES was one of
only three teams to win all three of
their cases. This is particularly
noteworthy considering their
opponents — seasoned teams with
members who had as many as three
years prior experience.
“The people who organize this
competition were pretty impressed
that a team competing for the
first time did so well,” remarked
OES parent Keith Meisenheimer,
a Senior District Attorney for
Multnomah County, who co
coached the OES team with fellow
parent the Honorable Judge
Dorothy Baker, District Court
Judge for the State of Oregon
for Multnomah County.
The OES team’s impressive
performance won members a place
at the State Competition on April 3
and 4. Before the State Competi
tion, Keith confided, “I’m more
nervous for these kids than I am at
my own trials.”
With less than a month to prepare
for the State Competition, OES
Students — Kyle Freres, Tyler
Freres, Courtney Kaempf, Genny
Konz, Heather McDougall, Larisa
Meisenheimer, Toby Menely,
Margaret Spring and David Moser
— once again surprised spectators
and competitors when they won
the first two rounds at the State
Competition. In the hotly contested
third round, however, the OES team
lost to the experienced Grant High
team, which went on to finish
second. “They finished in the top
four and built a great reputation,”
Judge Baker said. She attributes

much of their success to significant
parent support. “They’ve been very
supportive — especially with tactical
support — getting the kids from one
place to the next. It takes a lot from
parents and kids."
Beyond learning about how the court
system works, these students gain
knowledge of a different variety.
“Each kid involved in this program
learned something different, based
on individual skills and personalities.
These kids are videotaped, vhich
helps them realize the importance
breathing, appearance and projection.
They learn the difference between
written and verbal communication
and how to convey their thoughts
most effectively depending on the
medium. They build self-confidence;
develop public speaking skills and
leam to think on their feet. And they
also leam that things aren’t always
fair and a whole lot of things about
the world.”

OES co-sponsors science lecture series, hosts
so little attention to time, his primary
area of interest.
For the second year, OES joined
Oregon Public Broadcasting and
Portland State University along with
Waggener Edstrom and CH2MHill
as sponsors of the 1991-92 Science
Technology and Society Lecture
series. Presented by the Institute for
Science, Engineering and Public
Policy, this year’s series brought six
scientist/authors to Portland for
public lectures — and to the OES
campus to meet with students. The
series is part of the School’s
intensive science education
programs.
In October, Dr. Barrow made a brief
presentation and then fielded
questions from students on “the
anthropic principle.” This theory
holds that the existence of intelligent
life doesn’t fit into many traditional
views of the universe and that,
therefore, the universe was de
signed to lead to intelligent life — or,
ultimately, to humanity.
After a school-wide presentation on
the technology of the pencil on
October 31, Henry Petroski, Ph.D.,
visited a conceptual physics class to
field more serious questions on
engineering and structural design.
Dr. Petroski, an engineer as well as
an historian and philosopher of
design and the technological
process, uses not only large
engineering structures, but also

knives, paper clips and children’s
toys, to explain — without jargon —
the basic ideas underlying structural
design and its failures.
Paul Davies, Ph.D., professor at the
University of Adelaide, considered
by many simply the best popular
writer on modern physics and the
most credible physicist/philosopher
in fifty years, discussed “New
Discoveries in Nature’s Creative
Ability to Order the Universe’’ with
students on Thursday, December 5.
Drawing on recent discoveries in
many fields including brain re
search, biological evolution,
computers and astrophysics, he
argued that all matter and energy
have the ability to self-organize, with
increasing complexity, according to
common holistic principles.
Chemist and systems scientist, Ilya
Prigogine, Ph.D., was the fourth
guest speaker to visit OES in the
Science, Technology and Society
Lecture Series. The Nobel Prize
winner from the University of Texas
and the University of Belgium visited
OES on Thursday, March 5th. Born
in Moscow at the outbreak of the
Russian Revolution, he shared his
unique perspective on history in the
making. Prigogine and his family
fled Russia, first to Lithuania, then to
Berlin, before settling in Belgium. It
was perhaps because of his early
interest in history and philosophy
that he wondered why science paid

How can science and religion both
make sense? It's a question many
students — not to mention adults —
find difficult. On April 9, The Rev.
Dr. John Polkinghorne told OES
students “they do”. After the group
presentation, he debated more
specific issues with a small group of
interested students. Polkinghorne,
who taught mathematical physics at
Cambridge for 25 years before
resigning to study theology and
become an Anglican Priest, is now
president of Queens’ College,
Cambridge.
Lynn Margulis, Ph.D., explained her
work with the Gaia Theory as the
keynote speaker for the OES
community Earth Day celebration on
Friday, May 1. Greek for Mother
Earth, “Gaia” was chosen by
scientists to name the hypothetical
system that regulates the Earth.
▲ Winner of the Nobel Prizefor
Chemistry, Dr. Ilya Prigogine shared
his struggle for acceptance by the
scientific mainstream.
Gaia Theorists believe that the
Earth is a biological — as opposed
to physical or chemical — construc
tion. Lynn Margulis is a botanist who
has gained recognition for pioneer
ing fundamental insights about the
central role of symbiosis (coopera
tive relationships) in evolution, and
is a distinguished Professor of
Botany at the University of Massa
chusetts, Amherst. After the
presentation, she met with students
to continue a discussion related to
her remarks.

The Northwest Science Exposition
research competition is the State
science fair for Oregon and southwest
Washington. It includes competition
for individuals and groups at the
junior high (6 categories) and high
school (13 categories) levels.
According to Bill Lamb, “If the science
expo were scored like a track meet,
OES would have finished second
behind Nyssa High School, which
provided 3 of the 4 students selected
to attend the International Science
and Engineering Fair.”
In the past 10 years, three OES
students have been selected to
attend the International Science and
Engineering Fair and have won
numerous first, second, third,
honorable mention and special
awards at the NW Science Expo. In
1989, OES received the OMSI Award
as the school with the most outstand
ing research program in Oregon.
Other winners of that award include
Nyssa (1988), Gold Beach (1990),
Rainier Middle School (1991) and
Joseph Junior-Senior High School
(1992). “This year, the OES students
did an excellent job in an increasingly
competitive field,” says Bill, who is an
Upper School science teacher and
holder of the Winningstad Chair in the
Physical Sciences.
Pacific University in Forest Grove,
host to the NW Science Expo in 1991
and 1992, provided $6000 scholar

�Award-winning Middle School community
service program promotes health
“The MS Health Curriculum has four
aspects: health of the body, health
of the mind, health of the spirit and
health of the community. These are
not taught as separate components
but rather as a whole. We teach
students how each relates to the
other,” explained MS health teacher
Mike Devenney.
To accomplish these goals, the MS
Health curriculum was expanded to
include a community service unit
four years ago. This program has
been designed to expose students
to life outside OES while providing
opportunities for meaningful service.
Each MS student must spend half a
day, six times a year, serving the
community. The assignments are
varied, ranging from visits to nursing
homes to helping out at the Wash
ington Park Zoo.
The careful development and
steady growth of this program
brought national attention when
the program was recently honored
by the Council for Religion in
Independent Schools (CRIS). The
OES program was selected as one
of only two Middle School programs
in the United States to receive an
Honorable Mention Community
Service Award.
The CRIS awards aim to inform
other schools of notable policies and
practices, recognize and inspire
excellence in moral consciousness,
action and student leadership and
stimulate the growth of service
programs. In their letter of notifica
tion, CRIS wrote, “The committee
was particularly impressed that the
program evolved from and is
integrated into the curriculum and
commends the outstanding commit
ment of the faculty.”
Mike attributes the success of this
program to two major factors:
support — from parents, faculty and
administration — and consistent
evolution. ‘When we first started this
four years ago, it was like pulling
teeth,” Mike recalled. “When I told
organizations that these were
Middle Schoolers, they kind of went
‘eeegh’. Now, all I have to do is pick
up the phone, and they’re glad to
have us. In fact, now we even have
people calling us.”
“Most programs try to do it all the
first year, and everyone loses
because they discover either the
kids or the organizations are not
prepared. This program was
allowed to evolve. Now the kids
see it as part of the curriculum.
We spend time preparing for service
assignments before we go out and
debriefing during the class that
follows. Students know that their
input counts,” Mike concluded.
Through the work they do, students
often have opportunities to apply
what they have learned in other
classes. Working at Tryon Creek
State Park, for example, applies
what 8th grade students have
learned in their GALA (Government
and Language Arts) classes about
disabilities. “We help clear and
maintain the trail — to make it
barrier free. Its one way we can help
them see the whole picture, to see
how their work can help others.”

OES boasts record high spoils participation
A conversation with OES Athletics
Director Kris Van Hatcher '70 about
why that’s good news
be enthusiastic and do a good job,
know their sport. With this, the winning
will come naturally."
The BellTower: What percentage
of Upper School students play
sports?
The BellTower: But, don’t you need
some players who are simply good
at sports?
Kris Van Hatcher ’70: This year
we have 83% participation — 151
out of 183 US students, our highest
ever. Usually we have 75 %, which
is considered high. For 91-92, our
lowest class has 75% participation
and the highest has 88%.
Kris: Of course, a team needs some
talent, but it’s not the most important
factor.
The BellTower: Why is participa
tion at OES so high?
Kris: Our program allows kids to
play at an earlier age and builds
confidence so that by 9th grade,
playing a sport is natural. We work
very hard on encouraging participa
tion. We make it fun. And we give
kids opportunities. If we have
enough students come out, we
make a 3rd team, rather than cut
the extras. We also communicate
with teachers. We have faculty
support; teachers understand the
role of athletics and we try to
minimize time out of class.
The BellTower: What’s average
participation?
Kris: Public school participation in
a sport probably averages 20 to
30%.
The BellTower: What does such
high participation do for OES?
Kris: Even if kids don’t have
experience playing a sport, we
encourage them to try it. We make
kids feel good. The students here
are good about making other
students feel good. At OES, sports
help kids learn to balance — not to
stretch themselves too thin. Studies
have shown that sports help kids
get better grades, stay healthier
and learn to be better organized.

The BellTower: How do you define
responsible competition?
▲ OES Athletics Director Kris Van
Hatcher '70 challenged Headmaster
Peter Stevens to a friendly game of
basketball at the January re-opening
ofSPARC.
The BellTower: Why are sports
important to our philosophy of
education?
Kris: Sports also teach kids reality,
commitment and how to cope with
pressure. Sports are like life. If you
don’t come to practice, you don’t
play; if you don’t come to work, you
get fired. As with having a job,
participating in sports requires being
on time, coping with winning/losing,
improving skills and working as part
of a team.
The BellTower: What do you
mean by a “meaningful physical
activity” as stated in your
program goals?
Kris: In order for sports to be
meaningful, kids need ownership,
fun, structure, ways to measure
improvement and the teamwork of
pulling it all together so the experi
ence is good — win or lose.
The BellTower: What about
winning and losing?
Kris: You can only practice so long
before you need to test yourself
against someone else. The “thrill’’ of
competition is healthy — the pre
game butterflies are actually good
for you. When I interview coaches, I
say “the kids need to have fun and
be well organized. Coaches need to
14
Kris: I have a list of criteria that
includes good coaches, being pre
pared, safety, both team and personal
achievement goals for kids and
worthwhile effort.
The BellTower: What does participa
tion do for students?
Kris: We all know kids have a lot of
energy. Sports allow constructive
release and help kids cope with
academic stress. There’s also camara
derie, discipline, commitment, respon
sibility and learning to win as well as
lose. Sports complement what
happens in the classroom.
The BellTower: What competitive
sports do we offer?
Kris: In the Upper School we offer
soccer, cross country, basketball,
skiing, tennis, track and fencing for
both boys and girls, and volleyball for
girls. In the Middle School we have
soccer, basketball, tennis, track and
fencing for boys and girls as well as
volleyball for girls.
The BellTower: How about facili
ties?
Kris: We have outstanding facilities.
And it helps the program — particularly
SPARC (The OES Sports and Recre
ation Center) for tennis. SPARC has 3
indoor tennis courts, four outdoor
courts, a basketball court, 2 racquetball
courts, a fencing room and a studio/
exercise room. We have the allweather Yanagitani Track with a 6lane, 400-meter, latex polyurethane

And in the main gymnasium we have a
basketball court, weight room and a

Fund Raising Standards High at
OES
Ethical standards in fund raising
today have come under close
scrutiny, so perhaps you may have
wondered about Oregon Episcopal
School’s policies and procedures for
institutional advancement. Amid a tide
of eroding trust and confidence in
society, OES stands tall and proud.
Firmly grounded in the School’s own
values and traditions, we also
subscribe to ‘The Principals of Good
Practice” held by the National
Association of Independent Schools
and the code of the National Society
of Fund Raising Executives.
The OES Development Program
strives to exemplify the best qualities
of the institution and the highest
standards of personal and profes
sional conduct. Everyone involved in
our development operations adhere
to the following principals of good
practice, are motivated by positive
forces to improve the cause they
serve and seek to inspire others
through their own sense of dedication
and high purpose.

ALUMNI PROFILE
Beatrice Thurston Paget T5
— Chautauquan, lawyer,
mother, lobbyist
... every night
after dinner, the
girts danced.
Since it was all
girls, you were
very popular if
you could lead....

what the School
gave me. I'm

OREGON

“The Sisters were very kind,”
Beatrice Thurston Paget ’15
recalled. “I’ll never forget arriving at
the Hall. Here I was, a perfect
stranger, and Sister Elisa Monica
walked right up to me and kissed
me on the cheek to welcome me. It
was just the right effort. A very nice
transition from my home in Wells.”
Bom in 1896, Beatrice’s early
school-age memories were of the
one-room school she walked to
each day, dinner pail in hand.
Beatrice Thurston Pagel ’15
Though she was accustomed to the
rural community of Wells, Oregon,
the decision to attend St. Helens
Hall was an easy one for Beatrice
and her family. “We lived in an area
where there was no adequate
education. The Bishop’s [Benjamin
Wistar Morris] idea of providing a
place where people like me could go
to continue their education was so
wonderful."
And so, Beatrice became a
boarding student at St. Helens Hall.
She attended the Hall for three
years before her graduation in 1915.
“As a boarder, everything was
scheduled. We had so many
activities. We were always going on
hikes; the Sisters used to walk every
day. We had chapel every day,
played ping-pong, and every night
after dinner, the girls danced. Since
it was all girls, you were very
popular if you could lead. A number
of the Sisters didn’t think we should
dance on Sunday, but Sister Elisa
Monica insisted that it was much
healthier for us to dance than to sit
around and gossip.”
In the summer of 1914, the Vista
St. Clair building burned. Though no
one was hurt, there would only be
limited space available the following
year. For this reason, the only
students allowed to return were
those who had planned to graduate
in the class of 1915. “Those of us
allowed to return lived in the
Bishop’s house on 19th and Elm. It
was very intimate with just our class
and 2 or 3 sisters," Beatrice
recalled.
Life with the Sisters, however, was
not always easy. They were quite
strict and took their responsibility for
parenting young girls very seriously.
“We were very protected. When we
went out, we were expected to have
a chaperone — either a sister or a
teacher,” Beatrice recalled. “And
there were so many rules. We
always thought they had eyes in the
back of their heads.”
Remembering her years at the
Hall, Beatrice said, “It was a
wonderful experience. So much a
part of my life. I’m grateful for what
the School gave me. I’m not afraid
of anything — I’ll try anything."
Following her graduation from St.
Helens Hall, Beatrice found work
with Ellison-White, arranging
Chautauqua bookings. Originally
founded in 1874, this Chautauqua,
New York based organization grew
to more than 400 groups nation
wide. The “chautauquas”, as they
were called, were one of the first
organizations to pay fees to
speakers, thus they attracted
notable speakers and supplied
culture-hungry small towns with
symphony concerts, operas, plays
and lectures.
While attending college, Beatrice
did advance work for the lecturers
and performers who traveled the
circuit. “During WWI we travelled to
Australia and New Zealand. I can
18
still remember discussing the future of
Chautauqua with Mr. Ellison who
predicted, ‘If radio ever gets started, it’ll
be the end of Chautauqua’.” Mr. Ellison
was right. After reaching its peak in
1924, the success of the chautauquas
declined. Radio and the increased
mobility made possible by the automo
bile contributed to the decline of the
chautauquas’ popularity.
Despite its ultimate demise, Beatrice
said, “Chautauqua was the biggest
event in my life.” Not only did Beatrice
have an opportunity to travel — an
option open to few women at that time
— but she met her husband, Lowell
Paget, who was also an Ellison-White
employee.
They wed in 1919, but not without
certain conditions laid down by
Beatrice’s mother. “Mother said I could
get married only if I continued to go to
school. I had to graduate.” So Beatrice
and Lowell enrolled together in the
Northwestern School of Law in 1921. “It
was fun. I was one of only three
women in the class, so we women had
a little more attention. The professor
used to say ‘I can see the wife is the
smart one’.”
When asked whether or not the
professor’s compliment was fitting,
Beatrice modestly responded, “I did a
lot of theory, but Lowell was working
full time for the Paget Mortgage
Company, so he had a better under
standing of what was going on outside
school. Also, I was able to concentrate
on school, while Lowell had to work.”
After graduating in 1924, Beatrice
joined Lowell. ‘We were very fortunate
to be able to work together at the Paget
Mortgage Company.” The following
year the Paget’s first child was bom,
and as the family continued to grow
(four more children were bom in the
next 14 years), the demands of family
life took Beatrice away from full-time
legal practice.
In 1932, Lowell ran for a seat in the
Oregon Legislature, which he won, and
in 1935, Beatrice became state
president of the Oregon League of
Women Voters. While serving in this
capacity, she successfully lobbied for
passage of Aid to Families with
Dependent Children, arguing that
rather than separating families, the
mothers should receive the support
they need to keep their children at
home.
Beatrice attributes her many suc
cesses and activities to “good parents,
good health and good people along the
way".
�In conjunction with Reunion
Weekend in June, the birthday could
conclude with a Music and Arts
Festival on the OES campus for the
entire community.
PRESIDENT’S
CORNER
It is hard for me to believe that my
first year as Alumni Board President
is complete. I have enjoyed meeting
so many of you and look forward to
seeing even more of you at events in
the year to come.
Our April Alumni Board meeting
focused on the School’s upcoming
125th birthday in 1994. We came up
with some great thoughts to com
memorate this momentous occasion!
The celebration will begin in the fall of
1994 and culminate in June of 1995.
The Alumni Association will work with
a committee of students, parents,
trustees, faculty and staff in planning
a year long celebration. The birthday
will officially kick off on the first day of
school in September of 1994. A gala
Founder’s Day dinner in November
will bring all alumni, friends and
family together for a festive evening.
Some of the plans in the works
include a commemorative seal,
designed to unite St. Helens Hall,
Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon
Episcopal School for introduction
next year, publications and
notecards featuring the seal, limited
edition sketches and a possible
book emphasizing the past 25
years.
I hope many of you will want to
become involved with our 125th
birthday. This is an unique and
exciting opportunity for all alumni, to
show our loyalty and share wonder
ful memories of our school days in
such a grand way. I hope to see
many of you involved in this project,
and if you are called upon to help, I
hope you will give freely of your
time.
I am happy to report that our two
new alumni events, Alumni Night at
the Theater and After Hours have
been very successful! For the
Upper School Spring musical
Something’s Afoot, a record number
of alumni attended the wonderful
production. Alumni Night at the

A memorial service was held
February 29 at the Cathedral of St.
John the Baptist, Portland. The Rt.
Rev. Jerry A. Lamb, Bishop of

A second memorial service was
held March 4 in St. Andrew’s
Episcopal Church, Durham, North
Carolina, her family church. The Rt.
Rev. Hunt Williams, Suffragan
Bishop of North Carolina — a long
time friend of the family — was the
celebrant.
Jean Arthur was bom November
28, 1930, in Durham, NC. She
taught school in North Carolina
after her graduation from Duke
University. She also taught in
Washington, D.C., prior to her

turns over cash, marketable
securities or other assets to a
trustee. The donor, or a selected
beneficiary, receives a fixed annual
payment for life. In this case, the
remaining trust assets eventually
pass to OES for use in accordance
with the donor’s wishes.
Following a brief visit to campus in
September with her sister, Margaret
Reeves Yick SHH ’30/JC ’33, Beth
Reeves moved into a retirement
community in Cupertino, California.
In a letter to Headmaster Peter
Stevens announcing the gift, she
requested that OES accept this gift
on behalf of both her and Margaret.
“We are pleased to honor Beth’s
intentions, and thrilled with her
confidence in our wonderful
School. Current and future OES
students benefit because of the
thoughtful support and vision of
people like Beth Reeves,” said
Peter.
News of this nature brings great
excitement to the OES Commu
nity. When received, this gift will
help assure a financially strong
and educationally sound School
for the future. Perhaps even more
important is the signal it sends to
our community that education is of
paramount importance, worthy of
substantial long-term support.
There are a number of ways an
individual can make a lasting
legacy to OES. Some are espe
cially appealing because they
provide the support necessary to
continue and enhance the
OREGON

School’s mission, while offering
substantial benefits to donors. All
play a significant role in securing the
School’s future.
Bequests need not be large. As the
total of Annual Giving to OES
demonstrates, it is the cumulative
efforts of many donors and various
amounts which build our endowment
and secure our stability year after
year.
The School recognizes and respects
that bequest intentions are a
personal matter, which should be
kept in strictest confidence. Knowl
edge of a donor’s intentions, how
ever, is helpful to financial planning.
We recommend those considering
such a gift seek legal/financial
counsel. For more information on
planned giving opportunities, please
call or write the Development Office.

�Students design OMSI exhibit on
salmon
Retna Surya — began with an April
14 field trip to OMSI to meet with the
exhibit design staff. OMSI designers
shared their insights of the design
process and the challenge of taking
an idea and translating it into a final
product.
What is it like to be a wild salmon in
the Columbia River Basin? To find
out, come experience an exhibit
created and produced by ninth
grade biology and art students from
OES at the Oregon Museum of
Science and Industry (OMSI) from
May 29 to June 15.
The exhibit will be installed May 2628, with a special exhibit opening for
the OES community on Friday, May
29, from 7-9 pm at OMSI.
Under the direction of OES teachers
Sue Jensen and John LeCavalier
and the OMSI staff, students have
created a salmon-eye view of drift
nets, hydro-electric dams and
gravel-bottomed spawning grounds
— an opportunity to experience the
life-cycle of the anadromous wild
salmon.
This collaborative effort between
Sue’s Art Trek class and John’s
Ecological Biology class — Greg
Coffeen, Joe Ferguson, Alyssa
Gregg, Shane Hoffman, Jesse
LeCavalier, Jason Mehr, Aaron
Murray, Jon Reali, Jessica Reuther,
Zach Russell, Ethan Scheible and
Following their meeting with OMSI,
the students worked through initial
concepts and designs. Says John,
“The small group process inherent
in the project gave them a unique
opportunity for collaborative
decision-making.” After the students
had preliminary exhibit designs, two
designers from OMSI — Greg
Garrett and Patricia Thornton —
visited the OES campus for critique
sessions.
The Biology students, acting as the
writing and research team began
their work with support text. “The
group editing required to distill one
page of text into one paragraph of
careful, age-appropriate language is
a challenge not often encountered
at such an early age,” says John of
the process some students found
quite challenging.

�Dear Friends,
Late in April, OES teacher
Kathy Narramore’s fourth
grade class invited me to their
“-ology” presentations. Unable
to resist a fourth grade
invitation, and, eager to
satisfy my own curiosity, I
went along. Before reaching
Kathy’s classroom, however, I
was waylaid by the extraordi
nary, high tech, large-scale
constructions of Jane KenneyNorberg’s LEGO® Maniacs: a
five-foot, hydraulically
operated “suspension" bridge,
a couple of helicopters and
several other creative
inventions — some fantastic
and some recognizable, built
in an After School class.
After watching how each
extraordinary piece worked
and trying to understand the
fascinating explanations of
our young engineers, who
articulated their designs and
construction — a remarkable
combination of mathematics,
electrical and hydraulic
engineering, architecture,
kinesthetics, aesthetics and
sheer practicality — I entered
the wonderful world of fourth
grade “-ologies”.
What a day this was! With my
engineering training I felt wellequipped for Kathy’s girls
and boys. But wow! I encoun
tered a musicologist who
expounded on Beethoven
and a mineralogist who taught
me about a plethora of semi
precious and exotic items that
I might otherwise have
dismissed as mere rocks and
stones. The pathologist was
dissecting a fetal pig and was
delighted to show me the vital
chest and cranial organs,
wondrously revealed under
her 4th grade scalpel with
sections awesomely magni
fied under her neighbor’s
microscope. An ornithologist
and I discussed the fate of the
peregrine falcon and the
beauty of the American eagle,
and I debated the speed and
strength of leopards with a
young zoologist.
When I met with these young
scholars, it seemed only
natural that I should think of
Peter Relic, President of the
National Association of
Independent Schools, who
visited our campus in late
April. While in Portland to
address the spring meeting of
Heads of members of the
Pacific Northwest Association
of Independent Schools (our
regional accrediting group),
Peter admonished us to ask
our students — and ourselves
— “Why?” He reminded us of
the need to break out of the
molds of the past, to take the
lid off, to explore, to attempt
the road less travelled.
Both Kathy and Jane are
venturing in ways that great
teachers pursue. They’re
called “high risk/high gain”.
And judging from this
observer’s visits on that one
day, our young scientists/
scholars have indeed
achieved “high gain”. They
are asking questions, and
they are understanding.
And this is what it’s all about,
this teaching and learning
process of ours. Our teachers
are learners themselves — all
the time. Our students are
also teachers, of each other
and of their teachers, not to
mention humble visitors like
me.
In this issue you will read
about my recent trip to Tokyo,
where I joined in the first
meeting of the Pacific Rim
Advisory Council of OES. We
asked our friends from four
East and Southeast Asian
countries many questions.
“Why send your young people
to America for schooling?
Why send them to OES?”
Their answers were clear.
“You encourage children to
ask questions, to try new
things, to attempt (and
possibly fail), to explore and
to dare. You validate effort."
This answer lived for me that
one day in our wonderful
Lower School, along with
echoes of Peter Relic’s
prescriptions. And I know why
OES — and schools like ours
— thrive, and why great
people like Kathy and Jane
teach and work here, anc why
great kids like Hideki and
Edwin, Dwight and Jessica
Kathryn and Laura, Alexander
and Alexandra, Susan, Erik
Chris, Lynn, James, Kyle,
Liam, Evan and Anees can
become “-ologists” for a day
or a week — and scholars
and humanists for a lifetime!
And I am heartened about the
future of education in our
land.
Visit us. Meet these kids and
teachers, and wonder with
them, as I do!
Sincerely,
Peter W. Stevens

delegates at the first meeting of the
OES Pacific Rim Council, which was
held in Tokyo. The purpose of the
initial meeting was simple — to find
out why East and Southeast Asian
parents send their young people to
America for school, and why many
parents choose OES. The Council,
which was the brain child of former
OES Headmaster The Rev. Canon
Malcolm H. Manson, also explored
a wide range of ideas of what it
means to be a Pacific Rim institu
tion.

Students explore the art of international
negotiations
Pretend you’re a Japanese diplo
mat. The U.S.S.R., as such, no
longer exists, but “Russia” is actively
seeking foreign aid. You are
interested in Russia’s oil reserves
but so are the United States, Great
Britain and France. What are you
going to do?
“Think Japanese!” was history
teacher Corbet Clark’s often
repeated advice to the nine Upper
School students representing Japan
in a multi-school international
negotiation simulation. “For OES
students, understanding the
problems facing Japan was easy.
The challenge was how to think, and
then act, in the way a high-level
Japanese diplomat would think and
act — not as a typically forthright
and assertive American.”
i
The International Negotiation
Project (INP) is offered as an activity
at OES. It is run by Joyce Kaufman,
Ph.D., of the political science
department at Whittier College and
supported by a grant from the
United States Institute of Peace.
Communications equipment links 15
West Coast schools, allowing the 15
countries represented to send
messages via computer and phone
lines. In its second year of participa
tion, OES is still the only Oregon
school involved.
Seniors Ramon Palanca and Mike
Punja, who are both in their second
year with INP.
participate out of an interest in
international affairs; others enjoy
working with computers.
Students received background
material on Japanese political,
economic, military and diplomatic
conditions which they then applied
to a scenario set six months in the
future. Other countries represented
included The United States, China,
Great Britain, Korea, The Philip
pines, India, Taiwan, France,
Germany, Mexico, Brazil and
Russia, which the OES team called
“Country X” since the recently
dissolved U.S.S.R. had not decided
on a permanent name at the time of
the simulation.
Modeled on a similar program from
the East Coast, INP seeks to let
students experience something
close to international negotiating
and learn more about international
issues in the process. The simula
tion is also designed to teach
students how to deal with language
barriers and translations by
presenting some on-line transmis
sions in Spanish.
Though Corbet was allowed to give
examples, he was not permitted to
help during simulations. Students
noted, however, that he provided
lots of paper, referring to the
considerable research and prepara
tion required for the project.
According to Corbet, some students
OES students who participated in
The International Negotiation
Project this year were Freshmen
John Harwood, Shane Hoffman,
Redmond Lyons-Keefe, Sara
Seeley, Vincent Staffer and Kris Van
Vactor, Junior Gerald Park and

With three to six countries on-line at
once — sending messages fast and
furiously — the one-hour confer
ences are always the highlight of
the simulation. Students have to
deal with personality conflicts and
transmission breakdowns — it's
hard to make other countries think
what you want them to think.
‘There were no winners. No end of
the game. Just real-life sense of
some problems solved and some
left hanging,” said Corbet. Learning
about the art of negotiating included
some fine distinctions for the
students: be assertive but not
aggressive, let others believe they
are receiving important things, and,
sometimes, say and do nothing —
it’s best.
�Mock trial team wins spectacularly in debut case
Each year, organizers of the Oregon
Law Related Education Project,
commonly referred to as Mock
Trials, draft a fictitious case for high
school students in public and private
schools throughout the state to
argue. The Oregon Law Related
Education Project is unique because
the students involved must prepare
cases for both the plaintiff and the
defendant.
This year’s case involved a civil
lawsuit against a school district.
The plaintiff — a student who had
passed all his classes, yet was
unable to meet the basic graduation
requirements — brought an educa
tional malpractice suit against a
school district. The student asked
for $20,000 to pay for schooling, so
he could acquire the skills needed to
meet criteria established for
graduation.
In this, their first year competing in
the Mock Trial competition, OES
Upper School students gave a
spectacular performance during the
first round of the Mock Trials which
took place March 6 and 7. Of the 24
teams competing, OES was one of
only three teams to win all three of
their cases. This is particularly
noteworthy considering their
opponents — seasoned teams with
members who had as many as three
years prior experience.
“The people who organize this
competition were pretty impressed
that a team competing for the
first time did so well,” remarked
OES parent Keith Meisenheimer,
a Senior District Attorney for
Multnomah County, who co
coached the OES team with fellow
parent the Honorable Judge
Dorothy Baker, District Court
Judge for the State of Oregon
for Multnomah County.
The OES team’s impressive
performance won members a place
at the State Competition on April 3
and 4. Before the State Competi
tion, Keith confided, “I’m more
nervous for these kids than I am at
my own trials.”
With less than a month to prepare
for the State Competition, OES
Students — Kyle Freres, Tyler
Freres, Courtney Kaempf, Genny
Konz, Heather McDougall, Larisa
Meisenheimer, Toby Menely,
Margaret Spring and David Moser
— once again surprised spectators
and competitors when they won
the first two rounds at the State
Competition. In the hotly contested
third round, however, the OES team
lost to the experienced Grant High
team, which went on to finish
second. “They finished in the top
four and built a great reputation,”
Judge Baker said. She attributes
S

much of their success to significant
parent support. “They’ve been very
supportive — especially with tactical
support — getting the kids from one
place to the next. It takes a lot from
parents and kids."
Beyond learning about how the court
system works, these students gain
knowledge of a different variety.
“Each kid involved in this program
learned something different, based
on individual skills and personalities.
These kids are videotaped, vhich
helps them realize the importance

OES co-sponsors science lecture series, hosts
so little attention to time, his primary
area of interest.
For the second year, OES joined
Oregon Public Broadcasting and
Portland State University along with
Waggener Edstrom and CH2MHill
as sponsors of the 1991-92 Science
Technology and Society Lecture
series. Presented by the Institute for
Science, Engineering and Public
Policy, this year’s series brought six
scientist/authors to Portland for
public lectures — and to the OES
campus to meet with students. The
series is part of the School’s
intensive science education
programs.
In October, Dr. Barrow made a brief
presentation and then fielded
questions from students on “the
anthropic principle.” This theory
holds that the existence of intelligent
life doesn’t fit into many traditional
views of the universe and that,
therefore, the universe was de
signed to lead to intelligent life — or,
ultimately, to humanity.
After a school-wide presentation on
the technology of the pencil on
October 31, Henry Petroski, Ph.D.,
visited a conceptual physics class to
field more serious questions on
engineering and structural design.
Dr. Petroski, an engineer as well as
an historian and philosopher of
design and the technological
process, uses not only large
engineering structures, but also
such familiar objects as table

knives, paper clips and children’s
toys, to explain — without jargon —
the basic ideas underlying structural
design and its failures.
Paul Davies, Ph.D., professor at the
University of Adelaide, considered
by many simply the best popular
writer on modern physics and the
most credible physicist/philosopher
in fifty years, discussed “New
Discoveries in Nature’s Creative
Ability to Order the Universe’’ with
students on Thursday, December 5.
Drawing on recent discoveries in
many fields including brain re
search, biological evolution,
computers and astrophysics, he
argued that all matter and energy
have the ability to self-organize, with
increasing complexity, according to
common holistic principles.
Chemist and systems scientist, Ilya
Prigogine, Ph.D., was the fourth
guest speaker to visit OES in the
Science, Technology and Society
Lecture Series. The Nobel Prize
winner from the University of Texas
and the University of Belgium visited
OES on Thursday, March 5th. Born
in Moscow at the outbreak of the
Russian Revolution, he shared his
unique perspective on history in the
making. Prigogine and his family
fled Russia, first to Lithuania, then to
Berlin, before settling in Belgium. It
was perhaps because of his early
interest in history and philosophy
that he wondered why science paid

How can science and religion both
make sense? It's a question many
students — not to mention adults —
find difficult. On April 9, The Rev.
Dr. John Polkinghorne told OES
students “they do”. After the group
presentation, he debated more
specific issues with a small group of
interested students. Polkinghorne,
who taught mathematical physics at
Cambridge for 25 years before
resigning to study theology and
become an Anglican Priest, is now
president of Queens’ College,
Cambridge.
Lynn Margulis, Ph.D., explained her
work with the Gaia Theory as the
keynote speaker for the OES
community Earth Day celebration on
Friday, May 1. Greek for Mother
Earth, “Gaia” was chosen by
scientists to name the hypothetical
system that regulates the Earth.
▲ Winner of the Nobel Prizefor
Chemistry, Dr. Ilya Prigogine shared
his struggle for acceptance by the
scientific mainstream.
Gaia Theorists believe that the
Earth is a biological — as opposed
to physical or chemical — construc
tion. Lynn Margulis is a botanist who
has gained recognition for pioneer
ing fundamental insights about the
central role of symbiosis (coopera
tive relationships) in evolution, and
is a distinguished Professor of
Botany at the University of Massa
chusetts, Amherst. After the
presentation, she met with students
to continue a discussion related to
her remarks.

The Northwest Science Exposition
research competition is the State
science fair for Oregon and southwest
Washington. It includes competition
for individuals and groups at the
junior high (6 categories) and high
school (13 categories) levels.
According to Bill Lamb, “If the science
expo were scored like a track meet,
OES would have finished second
behind Nyssa High School, which
provided 3 of the 4 students selected
to attend the International Science
and Engineering Fair.”
In the past 10 years, three OES
students have been selected to
attend the International Science and
Engineering Fair and have won
numerous first, second, third,
honorable mention and special
awards at the NW Science Expo. In
1989, OES received the OMSI Award
as the school with the most outstand
ing research program in Oregon.
Other winners of that award include
Nyssa (1988), Gold Beach (1990),
Rainier Middle School (1991) and
Joseph Junior-Senior High School
(1992). “This year, the OES students
did an excellent job in an increasingly
competitive field,” says Bill, who is an
Upper School science teacher and
holder of the Winningstad Chair in the
Physical Sciences.
Pacific University in Forest Grove,
host to the NW Science Expo in 1991
and 1992, provided $6000 scholar

�Award-winning Middle School community
service program promotes health
“The MS Health Curriculum has four
aspects: health of the body, health
of the mind, health of the spirit and
health of the community. These are
not taught as separate components
but rather as a whole. We teach
students how each relates to the
other,” explained MS health teacher
Mike Devenney.
To accomplish these goals, the MS
Health curriculum was expanded to
include a community service unit
four years ago. This program has
been designed to expose students
to life outside OES while providing
opportunities for meaningful service.
Each MS student must spend half a
day, six times a year, serving the
community. The assignments are
varied, ranging from visits to nursing
homes to helping out at the Wash
ington Park Zoo.
The careful development and
steady growth of this program
brought national attention when
the program was recently honored
by the Council for Religion in
Independent Schools (CRIS). The
OES program was selected as one
of only two Middle School programs
in the United States to receive an
Honorable Mention Community
Service Award.
The CRIS awards aim to inform
other schools of notable policies and
practices, recognize and inspire
excellence in moral consciousness,
action and student leadership and
stimulate the growth of service
programs. In their letter of notifica
tion, CRIS wrote, “The committee
was particularly impressed that the
program evolved from and is
integrated into the curriculum and
commends the outstanding commit
ment of the faculty.”
Mike attributes the success of this
program to two major factors:
support — from parents, faculty and
administration — and consistent
evolution. ‘When we first started this
four years ago, it was like pulling
teeth,” Mike recalled. “When I told
organizations that these were
Middle Schoolers, they kind of went
‘eeegh’. Now, all I have to do is pick
up the phone, and they’re glad to
have us. In fact, now we even have
people calling us.”
“Most programs try to do it all the
first year, and everyone loses
because they discover either the
kids or the organizations are not
prepared. This program was
allowed to evolve. Now the kids
see it as part of the curriculum.
We spend time preparing for service
assignments before we go out and
debriefing during the class that
follows. Students know that their
input counts,” Mike concluded.
Through the work they do, students
often have opportunities to apply
what they have learned in other
classes. Working at Tryon Creek
State Park, for example, applies
what 8th grade students have
learned in their GALA (Government
and Language Arts) classes about
disabilities. “We help clear and
maintain the trail — to make it
barrier free. Its one way we can help
them see the whole picture, to see
how their work can help others.”

increased from four to six; students
now take part in the selection of their
assignments and are guaranteed
their first choice at least twice during

begin to select the organizations

student’s response to this program
and says, “Knowledge of a job well
done and the thanks they receive

make a positive difference."

OES boasts record high spoils participation
A conversation with OES Athletics
Director Kris Van Hatcher '70 about
why that’s good news
be enthusiastic and do a good job,
know their sport. With this, the winning
will come naturally."
The BellTower: What percentage
of Upper School students play
sports?
The BellTower: But, don’t you need
some players who are simply good
at sports?
Kris Van Hatcher ’70: This year
we have 83% participation — 151
out of 183 US students, our highest
ever. Usually we have 75 %, which
is considered high. For 91-92, our
lowest class has 75% participation
and the highest has 88%.
Kris: Of course, a team needs some
talent, but it’s not the most important
factor.
The BellTower: Why is participa
tion at OES so high?
Kris: Our program allows kids to
play at an earlier age and builds
confidence so that by 9th grade,
playing a sport is natural. We work
very hard on encouraging participa
tion. We make it fun. And we give
kids opportunities. If we have
enough students come out, we
make a 3rd team, rather than cut
the extras. We also communicate
with teachers. We have faculty
support; teachers understand the
role of athletics and we try to
minimize time out of class.
The BellTower: What’s average
participation?
Kris: Public school participation in
a sport probably averages 20 to
30%.
The BellTower: What does such
high participation do for OES?
Kris: Even if kids don’t have
experience playing a sport, we
encourage them to try it. We make
kids feel good. The students here
are good about making other
students feel good. At OES, sports
help kids learn to balance — not to
stretch themselves too thin. Studies
have shown that sports help kids
get better grades, stay healthier
and learn to be better organized.

The BellTower: How do you define
responsible competition?
▲ OES Athletics Director Kris Van
Hatcher '70 challenged Headmaster
Peter Stevens to a friendly game of
basketball at the January re-opening
ofSPARC.
The BellTower: Why are sports
important to our philosophy of
education?
Kris: Sports also teach kids reality,
commitment and how to cope with
pressure. Sports are like life. If you
don’t come to practice, you don’t
play; if you don’t come to work, you
get fired. As with having a job,
participating in sports requires being
on time, coping with winning/losing,
improving skills and working as part
of a team.
The BellTower: What do you
mean by a “meaningful physical
activity” as stated in your
program goals?
Kris: In order for sports to be
meaningful, kids need ownership,
fun, structure, ways to measure
improvement and the teamwork of
pulling it all together so the experi
ence is good — win or lose.
The BellTower: What about
winning and losing?
Kris: You can only practice so long
before you need to test yourself
against someone else. The “thrill’’ of
competition is healthy — the pre
game butterflies are actually good
for you. When I interview coaches, I
say “the kids need to have fun and
be well organized. Coaches need to
14
Kris: I have a list of criteria that
includes good coaches, being pre
pared, safety, both team and personal
achievement goals for kids and
worthwhile effort.
The BellTower: What does participa
tion do for students?
Kris: We all know kids have a lot of
energy. Sports allow constructive
release and help kids cope with
academic stress. There’s also camara
derie, discipline, commitment, respon
sibility and learning to win as well as
lose. Sports complement what
happens in the classroom.
The BellTower: What competitive
sports do we offer?
Kris: In the Upper School we offer
soccer, cross country, basketball,
skiing, tennis, track and fencing for
both boys and girls, and volleyball for
girls. In the Middle School we have
soccer, basketball, tennis, track and
fencing for boys and girls as well as
volleyball for girls.
The BellTower: How about facili
ties?
Kris: We have outstanding facilities.
And it helps the program — particularly
SPARC (The OES Sports and Recre
ation Center) for tennis. SPARC has 3
indoor tennis courts, four outdoor
courts, a basketball court, 2 racquetball
courts, a fencing room and a studio/
exercise room. We have the allweather Yanagitani Track with a 6lane, 400-meter, latex polyurethane

And in the main gymnasium we have a
basketball court, weight room and a

and her family. “We lived in an area
where there was no adequate
education. The Bishop’s [Benjamin
Wistar Morris] idea of providing a
place where people like me could go
to continue their education was so
wonderful."
And so, Beatrice became a
boarding student at St. Helens Hall.
She attended the Hall for three
years before her graduation in 1915.
“As a boarder, everything was
scheduled. We had so many
activities. We were always going on
hikes; the Sisters used to walk every
day. We had chapel every day,
played ping-pong, and every night
after dinner, the girls danced. Since
it was all girls, you were very
popular if you could lead. A number
of the Sisters didn’t think we should
dance on Sunday, but Sister Elisa
Monica insisted that it was much
healthier for us to dance than to sit
around and gossip.”
In the summer of 1914, the Vista
St. Clair building burned. Though no
one was hurt, there would only be
limited space available the following
year. For this reason, the only
students allowed to return were
those who had planned to graduate
in the class of 1915. “Those of us
allowed to return lived in the
Bishop’s house on 19th and Elm. It
was very intimate with just our class
and 2 or 3 sisters," Beatrice
recalled.
Life with the Sisters, however, was
not always easy. They were quite
strict and took their responsibility for
parenting young girls very seriously.
“We were very protected. When we
went out, we were expected to have
a chaperone — either a sister or a
teacher,” Beatrice recalled. “And
there were so many rules. We
always thought they had eyes in the
back of their heads.”
Remembering her years at the
Hall, Beatrice said, “It was a
wonderful experience. So much a
part of my life. I’m grateful for what
the School gave me. I’m not afraid
of anything — I’ll try anything."
Following her graduation from St.
Helens Hall, Beatrice found work
with Ellison-White, arranging
Chautauqua bookings. Originally
founded in 1874, this Chautauqua,
New York based organization grew
to more than 400 groups nation
wide. The “chautauquas”, as they
were called, were one of the first
organizations to pay fees to
speakers, thus they attracted
notable speakers and supplied
culture-hungry small towns with
symphony concerts, operas, plays
and lectures.
While attending college, Beatrice
did advance work for the lecturers
and performers who traveled the
circuit. “During WWI we travelled to
Australia and New Zealand. I can
18
still remember discussing the future of
Chautauqua with Mr. Ellison who
predicted, ‘If radio ever gets started, it’ll
be the end of Chautauqua’.” Mr. Ellison
was right. After reaching its peak in
1924, the success of the chautauquas
declined. Radio and the increased
mobility made possible by the automo
bile contributed to the decline of the
chautauquas’ popularity.
Despite its ultimate demise, Beatrice
said, “Chautauqua was the biggest
event in my life.” Not only did Beatrice
have an opportunity to travel — an
option open to few women at that time
— but she met her husband, Lowell
Paget, who was also an Ellison-White
employee.
They wed in 1919, but not without
certain conditions laid down by
Beatrice’s mother. “Mother said I could
get married only if I continued to go to
school. I had to graduate.” So Beatrice
and Lowell enrolled together in the
Northwestern School of Law in 1921. “It
was fun. I was one of only three
women in the class, so we women had
a little more attention. The professor
used to say ‘I can see the wife is the
smart one’.”
When asked whether or not the
professor’s compliment was fitting,
Beatrice modestly responded, “I did a
lot of theory, but Lowell was working
full time for the Paget Mortgage
Company, so he had a better under
standing of what was going on outside
school. Also, I was able to concentrate
on school, while Lowell had to work.”
After graduating in 1924, Beatrice
joined Lowell. ‘We were very fortunate
to be able to work together at the Paget
Mortgage Company.” The following
year the Paget’s first child was bom,
and as the family continued to grow
(four more children were bom in the
next 14 years), the demands of family
life took Beatrice away from full-time
legal practice.
In 1932, Lowell ran for a seat in the
Oregon Legislature, which he won, and
in 1935, Beatrice became state
president of the Oregon League of
Women Voters. While serving in this
capacity, she successfully lobbied for
passage of Aid to Families with
Dependent Children, arguing that
rather than separating families, the
mothers should receive the support
they need to keep their children at
home.
Beatrice attributes her many suc
cesses and activities to “good parents,
good health and good people along the
way".
�In conjunction with Reunion
Weekend in June, the birthday could
conclude with a Music and Arts
Festival on the OES campus for the
entire community.
PRESIDENT’S
CORNER
It is hard for me to believe that my
first year as Alumni Board President
is complete. I have enjoyed meeting
so many of you and look forward to
seeing even more of you at events in
the year to come.
Our April Alumni Board meeting
focused on the School’s upcoming
125th birthday in 1994. We came up
with some great thoughts to com
memorate this momentous occasion!
The celebration will begin in the fall of
1994 and culminate in June of 1995.
The Alumni Association will work with
a committee of students, parents,
trustees, faculty and staff in planning
a year long celebration. The birthday
will officially kick off on the first day of
school in September of 1994. A gala
Founder’s Day dinner in November
will bring all alumni, friends and
family together for a festive evening.
Some of the plans in the works
include a commemorative seal,
designed to unite St. Helens Hall,
Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon
Episcopal School for introduction
next year, publications and
notecards featuring the seal, limited
edition sketches and a possible
book emphasizing the past 25
years.
I hope many of you will want to
become involved with our 125th
birthday. This is an unique and
exciting opportunity for all alumni, to
show our loyalty and share wonder
ful memories of our school days in
such a grand way. I hope to see
many of you involved in this project,
and if you are called upon to help, I
hope you will give freely of your
time.
I am happy to report that our two
new alumni events, Alumni Night at
the Theater and After Hours have

Jean Ladehoff dies February 22
Jean Arthur Ladehoff, wife of The
Rt. Rev. Robert L. Ladehoff, Bishop
of Oregon, died February 22 in
Portland of cancer.
A memorial service was held
February 29 at the Cathedral of St.
John the Baptist, Portland. The Rt.
Rev. Jerry A. Lamb, Bishop of
Northern California, was the
celebrant. Bishop Lamb had served
as executive assistant to Ladehoff
until his election as bishop. The Rt.
Rev. Rustin Kimsey, Bishop of
Eastern Oregon, was the preacher.
I"
Jean Arthur
Ladehoff
1930-1992
A second memorial service was
held March 4 in St. Andrew’s
Episcopal Church, Durham, North
Carolina, her family church. The Rt.
Rev. Hunt Williams, Suffragan
Bishop of North Carolina — a long
time friend of the family — was the
celebrant.
Jean Arthur was bom November
28, 1930, in Durham, NC. She
taught school in North Carolina
after her graduation from Duke
University. She also taught in
Washington, D.C., prior to her
marriage.
The Ladehoffs moved to Oregon
six years ago when Bishop
Ladehoff was elected. Jean
Ladehoff accompanied her
husband on his visitations through
out the Diocese and shared
actively in his ministry in many
ways. She also served as presi
dent of the Friends of William
Temple House, a Portland-based
Episcopal counseling agency.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Ladehoff
is survived by her son Robert L.
Ladehoff, Jr., of Orlando, Florida, and a
sister, Frances Richardson, of Durham.
Remembrances are suggested as
donations to the Diocese of Oregon’s
Triangle Lake Conference Center, care
of the Diocese of Oregon, PO Box 467,
Lake Oswego, Oregon 97034. The
Ladehoffs met as young people at a
church camp in North Carolina, and this
ministry was a very important one to her
all her life.
OES named beneficiary of charitable remainder
annuity tmst
OES was recently informed that
Elizabeth Reeves SHH ’32/JC ’35
made a substantial gift in the form
of a charitable remainder annuity
trust, and named Oregon Episcopal
School as the recipient of the
principal of the Trust upon her
death.
When a charitable remainder
annuity trust is created, the donor
turns over cash, marketable
securities or other assets to a
trustee. The donor, or a selected
beneficiary, receives a fixed annual
payment for life. In this case, the
remaining trust assets eventually
pass to OES for use in accordance
with the donor’s wishes.
Following a brief visit to campus in
September with her sister, Margaret
Reeves Yick SHH ’30/JC ’33, Beth
Reeves moved into a retirement
community in Cupertino, California.
In a letter to Headmaster Peter
Stevens announcing the gift, she
requested that OES accept this gift
on behalf of both her and Margaret.
“We are pleased to honor Beth’s
intentions, and thrilled with her
confidence in our wonderful
School. Current and future OES
students benefit because of the
thoughtful support and vision of
people like Beth Reeves,” said
Peter.
News of this nature brings great
excitement to the OES Commu
nity. When received, this gift will
help assure a financially strong
and educationally sound School
for the future. Perhaps even more
important is the signal it sends to
our community that education is of
paramount importance, worthy of
substantial long-term support.
There are a number of ways an
individual can make a lasting
legacy to OES. Some are espe
cially appealing because they
provide the support necessary to
continue and enhance the
OREGON
EPISCOPAL
SCHOOL
22
School’s mission, while offering
substantial benefits to donors. All
play a significant role in securing the
School’s future.
Bequests need not be large. As the
total of Annual Giving to OES
demonstrates, it is the cumulative
efforts of many donors and various
amounts which build our endowment
and secure our stability year after
year.
The School recognizes and respects
that bequest intentions are a
personal matter, which should be
kept in strictest confidence. Knowl
edge of a donor’s intentions, how
ever, is helpful to financial planning.
We recommend those considering
such a gift seek legal/financial
counsel. For more information on
planned giving opportunities, please
call or write the Development Office.

What is it like to be a wild salmon in
the Columbia River Basin? To find
out, come experience an exhibit
created and produced by ninth
grade biology and art students from
OES at the Oregon Museum of
Science and Industry (OMSI) from
May 29 to June 15.
The exhibit will be installed May 2628, with a special exhibit opening for
the OES community on Friday, May
29, from 7-9 pm at OMSI.
Under the direction of OES teachers
Sue Jensen and John LeCavalier
and the OMSI staff, students have
created a salmon-eye view of drift
nets, hydro-electric dams and
gravel-bottomed spawning grounds
— an opportunity to experience the
life-cycle of the anadromous wild
salmon.
This collaborative effort between
Sue’s Art Trek class and John’s
Ecological Biology class — Greg
Coffeen, Joe Ferguson, Alyssa
Gregg, Shane Hoffman, Jesse
LeCavalier, Jason Mehr, Aaron
Murray, Jon Reali, Jessica Reuther,
Zach Russell, Ethan Scheible and
Following their meeting with OMSI,
the students worked through initial
concepts and designs. Says John,
“The small group process inherent
in the project gave them a unique
opportunity for collaborative
decision-making.” After the students
had preliminary exhibit designs, two
designers from OMSI — Greg
Garrett and Patricia Thornton —
visited the OES campus for critique
sessions.
The Biology students, acting as the
writing and research team began
their work with support text. “The
group editing required to distill one
page of text into one paragraph of
careful, age-appropriate language is
a challenge not often encountered
at such an early age,” says John of
the process some students found
quite challenging.

A Letter from
the Headmaster
A School in the
Episcopal Tradition
Dear Friends,
This September Belltower is excit
ing to me for at least three rea
sons. First is the inclusion of the
“Mustard Seed”, the annual honor
roll of giving to Oregon Episcopal
School, a record, in this case, of a
banner year of positive volunteer
support for people and programs
at OES. Second is this Volume II of
the Belltower itself, an introduction
to a new year, while embracing a
celebration of the year past.
Third—and most importantly—is
this chance to share with you what
it means to live, work and study in
this wonderful and special school.
One of the several standing com
mittees of the Board of Trustees is
the Religious Life Committee.
Chaired by Bishop Robert Ladehoff
and US Chaplain Corbet Clark,
committee members include
trustees, all three OES chaplains,
parents and faculty. Last year, this
committee spent many fascinating
(and sometimes contentious!)
hours discussing the “nature of an
Episcopal School”. Corbet wrote a
marvelous draft essay, and coura
geously submitted it to the full
committee for comment. The result
was considerable debate centering
on spiritual, ecclesiastical, histori
cal and pedagogical issues, with
the ultimate adoption of “The Idea
of an Episcopal School”.
OREGON
EPISCOPAL
SCHOOL
I want to share this with you
because I believe it to be an extra
ordinary statement of the life and
purpose of a school. The docu
ment itself is lengthy; I’d be
delighted to send it in its entirety to
any who call or write my office. For
now, let me share an edited sum
mary. I do so, because I believe
that this captures the essence of
OES. Certainly, it is why I am here,
why so many families have been
here and are still here today, and
why the Mustard Seed in this issue
is so replete with recognition of
voluntary support:
be valued and respected and that
the school would like to be broadly
inclusive of the community it
serves. It looks for the values that
unite people rather than those that
divide.
2. An Episcopal school values indi
vidual freedom and diversity of
belief, and authority is exercised
loosely. It allows considerable lati
tude both to faculty and students
in their work, encourages indepen
dent thought and action and fos
ters participatory decision making.
It is also guided by the ancient
“conciliar” principle that the “right
way" is found in careful delibera
tion and consensus.
1. An Episcopal school is compre
hensive and inclusive. There is
considerable room for differences
of practice and differences of
belief, so long as there is agree
ment on fundamentals. The
Episcopal Church encourages
respect for others’ beliefs. An
Episcopal school expects not to
discriminate on the basis of race,
creed, etc. and to actively seek out
faculty and students of diverse
backgrounds and traditions in the
belief that they bring something to
3. The unity of an Episcopal school
is based on ritual and tradition
rather than doctrine. There will like
ly be no single dogma to which all
subscribe, no list of rules that
define who the school is as a com
munity. It values deeply its own tra
ditions without getting stuck in
them, recognizing that these
embody the common values of the
school community.

4. An Episcopal school values rea
son as a way to true understand
ing. Because there is no human
authority to tell us how to think, the
responsibility to reason our way to
understanding becomes essentially
an individual enterprise, which in
turn underlines the idea of respect
for individual beliefs. It believes
that the truth will make us free and
that God has given us the freedom
to seek truth without fearing where
it may lead.
An Episcopal education is not
indoctrination, nor about enforcing
an unquestioning acceptance of a
foreordained set of doctrines. This
begins with the premise that facul
ty, students, administrators and
staff are a community of explorers
who need to continue to learn and
grow. It encourages all students,
faculty and staff to follow ques
tions wherever they lead, to use
their critical faculties and to value
the learning and thought inherited
from the past. An Episcopal school
raises issues of meaning, identity
and ultimate truth at every oppor
tunity in all parts of its program but
also acknowledges the limits of
human reason.

Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal School is
located on a 59-acre campus in Portland’s
southwest hills. It is the only co-ed boarding
school in the Pacific Northwest that holds
membership in the National Association of
Independent Schools and is one of the oldest
Episcopal schools in the United. States.
OES offers a demanding, college prep
aratory, liberal arts curriculum to students in
pre-school through high school. Classes are
small, and the pace is challenging. Call (503)

And so our OES objectives are
nothing less than this. Everything
we do, in one way or another, is
geared to this. Teaching, counsel
ing, coaching, management, plan
ning, governance, building, fundraising—all emanate from this.
How special this is!
And how much more special could
our mission and purpose be?
Sincerely,

5. An Episcopal school has a con
cern for the well-being of society,
and makes that concern part of its
program. The school helps stu
dents understand that they do not
exist apart from society, that soci
ety’s issues are their issues, and
that they are called upon to
respond to the needs of others.
Students are encouraged not just
to share what they have with oth
ers but to understand the issues
and complexities of society, to
consider what their individual and
corporate responsibilities are, and
to take action.
On the cover Tara!

6. Above all, an Episcopal school is
founded on love. This is not a
peculiarly Anglican idea but so fun
damental to the Christian view that
it can be overlooked. Love for stu
dents, for their value as children of
God, for their unique gifts, must
undergird everything we do. We
must act out of love, teach love,
model love and love one another in
our community above all else, or all
else will be meaningless.

Fencingaje^
Fencing is steeped in history.
Descended from the courts and
battlefields of Europe, aristocrats
and militia alike were trained in the
use of the foil, rapier and sabre.
These weapons and the rules used
today evolved from facts accumu
lated over 300 years.
The foil, descendent of the court
sword used by aristocrats, is light
weight and features a rectangular
blade. When using a foil, fencers
must have the right to hit and must
hit in a limited target area. Both
weapon and rules change when an
individual fences with the epee.
Known to earlier generations as
the rapier, the epee was used by
the militia. Spectators new to the
sport can identify the epee by its
triangular blade and the fact that
opponents may be touched any
where on the body. A third
weapon, the sabre, was used by
warriors on horseback. Soldiers
were careful to strike their oppo
nent only from the waist up
because they did not want to risk
striking the horse, which was con
sidered part of the prize. Hence
fencers using the sabre must strike
only in a designated area.
Though Hollywood has brought us
countless images of exciting duels
in which one or more people are
injured or maimed, injuries are
almost non-existent in fencing.
When students at OES begin to
fence, they are well-versed in
proper safety; in fact, 98% of the
rule book for fencing deals with
safety rules, and modern technolo
gy continues to make the sport
safer every year. Fencing uniform
designers and manufacturers
recently added kevlar, a light
weight artificial fibre, to help resist
point penetration.
OREGON
EPISCOPAL
SCHOOL
When fencing competitively, a
sophisticated scoring system
assures that only the best fencers
advance to the direct elimination
round. At the start of the meet,
▲ OESfencers demonstrate properfencing technique.
participants are placed in pools.
Each fencer then challenges oppo
nents in their pool. At the end of
these matches, the number of vic
tories are tallied; then judges tally
the number of touches scored vs.
the number of touches received
(each time a fencer’s tip touches
her/his opponent in the prescribed
area, they receive a point).
Competitors are then ranked by
strength, and the top 32 advance
to the direct elimination round.
Participants must win each match
at this point to advance.
At OES the fencing program is run
by Colleen Olney, a former com
petitive fencer. “Fencing is 50%
physical and 50% mental,”
explains Colleen. As part of their
training, fencers typically run
sprints, train with weights (to
strengthen rather than build) and
participate in one or more other
sports.
The mental training can take years.
“First, you never use a negative
term,” explains Colleen. “You can’t
tell students they were ‘wrong’
because you always want them
thinking along a positive line. When
4
they are very young, I have stu
dents fill out a form that asks them
to define how they won or lost a
match. This gets them thinking
about analyzing themselves and
their opponents.
“After 3-4 years of training, I begin
to use imagery. They begin to
imagine themselves doing a per
fect move against an opponent.
Because all of this is introduced
slowly, when they are young, they
don’t realize it’s all part of sports
psychology. Eventually it becomes
second nature.”
Successful fencers share a number
of characteristics. “The sport
attracts individualists who are
assertive and can think for them
selves,” says Colleen, who attribut
es much of her success with the
OES fencing program to what stu
dents are taught in OES classes—
“concentration, individual thinking,
independence, critical thinking,
assertiveness and hand/eye coor
dination.
“OES is a fantastic school. I’ve
taught in the public schools, and
there is no discipline. The teachers
�are so overloaded that no matter
how caring they are—and there are
some very caring teachers in the
public schools—you can’t care for
that many kids. After teaching in
the public schools, I come back to
OES, and I just want to hug these
kids.”
Colleen feels that winning should
not be the only motivation for her
students. “I’m trying to teach
something other than just fencing,”
explains Colleen, who strongly
believes fencing is an excellent
avenue for teaching good ethics.
She recalls a particularly hard
fought match last year between
sixth graders Greer Rabiega and
Henry Pruitt in which the judges
missed a touch Greer scored on
Henry. “Even though no one
noticed the touch,” she recalled,
“Henry acknowledged the point. I
was so proud of Henry for
acknowledging that touch." Greer
went on to win the match by one
point.
Whether it is the principles they
learn in fencing, the type of individ
ual attracted to fencing or some
other unidentifiable factor, Colleen
was not surprised by the results of
a recent poll conducted by the
United States Olympic Committee
(USOC). “The USOC did a survey
which found that members of the
fencing team had the highest level
of education and income of any of
the sports. The level of education
found in most fencers is phenome
nal. Almost all people who contin
ue fencing are professionals—
almost everyone has a degree, and
many have doctorates.”
There is much more to fencing
than competition. "It’s an ageless
sport,” says Colleen. “Fencing is
more than just the Olympics—it
has to be. Although the US
Fencing Association has sent peo
ple in their 40s to the Olympics,
only five women will make the
Atlanta team (in 1996).

“Fencing is fun for families—great
for parents," says Colleen, who
invited parents to SPARC last year
for an evening of fencing. Fourth
grader Veronica Gilbert brought her
mother, Maria-Elaina, and mother
and daughter had a unique oppor
tunity to fence together. “Kids love
to show parents how to do things,”
Colleen observes. Yet, while the
parent may be new to the sport of
fencing, she points out that, “The
parents can usually beat the kids
because they have longer arms
and the mental edge.
“Fencing is fun for everyone."
OES SOPHOMORE RANKED 21ST IN THE WORLD
Thousands of hours of practice
and competition—as she
advanced through the ranks of
state, regional and national com
petition to finally qualify at the
international level—preceded
Monique de Bruin’s 21st place fin
ish at the World Cadet Fencing
Championships in May of this year.
Monique, a sophomore this fall at
OES, says, “First you need talent.
Then you need to be individualis
tic—when you’re out there fencing,
you can’t blame anyone else if you
are losing. You have to be dedicat
ed and willing to work very hard,
pushing yourself all the time. Your
coach will push you, but you have
to really want it,” explains
Monique. Really wanting it trans
lates into at least three hours of
practice 3-4 times a week.
“Both my parents worked, so fenc
ing was a cheap babysitter. At first,
I didn’t like it. I had to give up my
recess, so I quit. Then I started
watching my brother and sister. It
looked like they were enjoying it,
knows, Monique says, “It’s very
tough for me. I have a hard time
fencing people who are on my
team, let alone my sister. It’s easier
to fence someone you don’t know;
then you don’t have the emotional
issue to deal with, and you can just
concentrate on winning."
OES fencing coach Colleen Olney
echoes this, “I just hate to see that
happen. As a coach, you try to
teach them that the other person is
their opponent. Period. The
stronger competitive drive will win
initially, but after a while, determi
nation begins to play a part."
▲ Monique de Butin
so I started again. I really enjoyed it
the second time.”
Today, Monique occasionally finds
herself fencing opposite sister
Claudette. The last time Claudette
and Monique met was at the
Junior Olympics where Claudette
narrowly edged Monique out 6-5,
5-6, 6-5. When she is required to
fence opposite someone she
Where will Monique go from here?
Perhaps the Olympics? “It’s a goal
I’ve always had. My first coach
was an Olympian, and I really
respect that. I know it will be real
hard—the youngest Olympian this
year is 21 and most fencers don’t
reach their peek until 25—but [I
think] it’s realistic."

Wetlands
—another kind of classroom
“The wetlands are very important because they give animals and plants a place to live. The wetlands filter
water...they help create rich and plentiful soil for humans to grow plants on. ”
7 saw a
swallow that
seemed to
follow me... ”
— Melissa,
3rd grade
Taught by John LeCavalier, the
Wetlands Ecology course gives
students a chance to be teachers
in its wetland interpretation seg
ment. In the late spring, the
seniors, who have been studying
the subject intensely, take OES
third and sixth grade classes into
the OES Wetlands for hands-on
instruction in soils, hydrology,
birds, beaver, plants and aquatic
macro-invertebrates.
Wetlands Ecology also involves
values. “Wetlands are a huge issue
all over the world," says John.
"The students struggle with the
same issues—why are wetlands
important?”
John says that although everybody
has fun teaching, “they get so
tired. At the end, they realize how
much they themselves have
learned.” For example, the class
involves what John calls a “serious
section" on plant taxonomy, a peri
od of intense information absorp
tion. “We go into the field and
return with 60 to 80 samples and in
the end do a laboratory practical
exam—name this, what is its major
characteristic? It’s intense.”
u... The lights reflects

The birds dance
and I have a chance
The Beavers cut
but it hits—thud
The wind blows
and I flow
The ground soaks
and I moat
The wetlands need to be here
or earth won't be one peace. "
— Jonathan, 6th grade
The yearlong class involves con
siderable field research and is
challenging because of the amount
of independent work required.
— Gina, 6th grade
It has four components. The bio
physical monitoring project is a
baseline data collection process,
with students regularly visiting
specified plots in the Wetlands—
they keep track of birds, changes
in plants and water levels. All of the
seniors also complete an indepen
dent research project using the
database. They occasionally take
field trips to do surveys of other
wetlands. The final component is
the interpretation, or teaching, seg
ment. Most of the readings are pri
mary source materials and govern
ment publications.
"Everyone becomes trained in
careful field research techniques”,
says John. “We use the same
techniques and manuals that pro
fessionals from Federal, State and
local agencies use. In fact, I’d like
to contract out our services for the
experience.”
For the teaching session seniors
also research how younger
children learn science. “They
have to look at subjects as well
as implications. Should the skits
they use portray a logger as a
bad guy? They are struck by the
power of influence they have
over the younger students. So
instead of a bad guy theme, this
time they came up with a super
hero—Wetlands Man. The little
kids loved it.”
The wetland interpretation seg
ment follows a one-day "outdoor
school” model. Students rotate
through the various subjects, and
then later reflect. Some of the
reflection involves answering
questions, or as in the examples,
writing poetry.

The Mind’s Sky with Timothy Ferris, Fri., Nov. 6, 7:30 pm
Looking through the two lenses of neuroscience and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), Ferris
explores a startling new vision of the “dance” between mind and cosmos, asking whether intelligence - far from
being a product of our world alone - may have a universal currency. His free-wheeling quest into the nature of
consciousness ponders virtual reality computer technology and looks at IT - information theory, a new philosophy of
knowledge and communication. Ferris, a former commentator for National Public Radio's All Things Considered, a

Cynthia Doran: It’s a long story. In
1965, I began teaching Junior histo
ry, English and religion, which I did
for a couple of years. Back then it
never even occurred to me to com
bine motherhood with career, so I
quit the Upper School position at
the semester to adopt our son
John, Jr. Gertrude Farris was sur
prised, but when she asked me to
continue teaching religion once a
week, I said “yes”. Later, when we
adopted Kate, I took a couple of
years off.
Former Headmaster David Leech
asked me if I would consider teach
ing religion in the Beginning School.
I had young children, and it looked
like a challenge, so I did lots of
research on how kids develop a
sense of religion. It was fun. Then
they needed a 6th grade religion
teacher and I taught that for a cou
ple of years, before I had our son,
Michael. The next fall I returned to

was doing interviews for them as
their College Admissions rep. David
Leech asked me to help out, and
because I loved that sort of stuff, I
jumped at the chance. When Peter
Sipple became Headmaster, he
hired a new college counselor who
moved the office to the library. Two
years later he left mid-year, and I
was asked to fill in. That was about
15 years ago. At the end of the year,
Peter Sipple said "That went so
well, let’s continue,” and there I
was.
BT: What developments have you seen
in college counseling in the last 15
years?
CD: The job itself has grown from
one day a week to essentially full
time. We now have a handbook for
OES students and parents [which
Cynthia wrote], annual college
nights for parents and an elaborate,
well-established introductory semi
nar for Juniors, called College
Decisions. We keep much better
statistics now—currently I’m work
ing on a program that will help stu
dents and parents predict the rela
tive success of their applications.
Over the years, we’ve also been
working to improve the quality of
materials that accompany college
applications. We’re really able to
convey very effectively the kind of
place that OES is.
BT: How are you involved in profes
sional organizations?
CD: I have been president of the
Pacific Northwest Council of
College Admissions Counselors,
and I have served on the Western
Regional Board of The College
Board, which is the parent organi
zation of the Educational Testing
Service that administers the SAT
exams. I also belong to the
Portland Area College Counselors
Consortium, a local network.
BT: Fifteen years must have helped
you build an incredible network of
connections?
CD: Yes. But it’s not so much the
ability to pull strings, as that I am
able to work with the college pro
fessionals to help kids make the
transition. Colleges also know
about OES. Now, some 80 college
representatives visit campus each
year. The reps are very interested in
our students and in getting a sense
of the School.
BT: What makes our college counseling
program so effective?
CD: OES has made a strong com
mitment to college counseling. The
School has supported my going to
workshops and my professional
8
involvement. The faculty is very
supportive; they work really hard at
writing letters of recommendation.
They talk to kids about college—all
the time. It’s not just me. Even the
Trustees support the program.
BT: What's the biggest change you've
seen in your years here?
CD: OES has become a much more
informal place. When Mrs. Fariss
walked through the Great Hall 25
years ago, EVERYONE stood up—
not that there were many kids there
since everyone had an assigned
place to be. Uniform regulations
were rigid. And 25 years ago, no
one would have dreamed of calling
me Cynthia.
On my first day of teaching at St.
Helens Hall, all the girls stood up as
I entered my homeroom. I guess I
was so startled that I said "Good
morning, girls". They murmured.
And, stalling for time and inspira
tion, I said, “Why don’t you say
Good morning, Mrs. Doran’.” I
don’t know how long it took me to
figure out they weren’t going to sit
down until I said “be seated”. The
girls really liked this way of starting
the day, so we did it all year.
BT: What about other changes?
CD: Although 25 years ago girls
went to morning prayer everyday
with their heads covered, the week
ly religion classes with strong
Christian content were not that
important then. Today, the way we
teach “religion" is real neat. The
classes ARE academic and they
count on student transcripts. The
topics fit our student body. This has
been an appropriate evolution.
BT: What things haven't changed at
OES?
CD: Some of the best things have
remained constant. This School
has always had a sense of commu
nity—almost like a family. OES also
has a love of—almost celebrates—
the individual. Former teacher
Ruth Rose Richardson [SHH *36]
said to one of her classes that she
“loved all of them". In my job I still
see that. It’s very apparent during
the faculty discussions called
“senior marathons", where we
come up with descriptions which
are used in the student profiles that
accompany college applications.
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.

New faces and places
ummer is a time for person^^^nel changes at OES, and,
^h^in addition to new faces, a
number of people have been busy
switching places and learning
new jobs.
Don’t be surprised when you hear
a new voice on the OES switch
board this fall. Mary Wright accept
ed an opening in the Lower School
(LS), and Jill Morrell was hired as
the new OES receptionist. Mary
will be working as a LS secretary.
The LS also welcomed new LS
Head Harvey Zendt when he
arrived on campus in mid-July.
Jane Kenney-Norberg, who earned
her M.S. in Biology from the
University of Oregon, is already
familiar to many OESians for her
work with the OES Extended Care
programs. This fall, Jane will also
be working with 1 -5 graders from
11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Thelma
Lowry will be working full-time as a
teaching assistant in the new fullday kindergarten classes. In the
4th grade, Kathy Narramore will be
returning for her second year, while
Joan Leigh and Doug Whitmore
will be sharing a class and taking
half-year sabbaticals. Joining this
threesome is Merideth Larson, who
most recently taught at Our Lady
of the Lake in Lake Oswego. And
finally, when Lou Paff returns from
his sabbatical this fall, he will coor
dinate the LS computer and sci
ence programs.
A number of Middle School (MS)
teachers have been eagerly
preparing to welcome new babies.
Alfreda Harris, who holds a B.A. in
English with an emphasis in
African-American Studies from
UCLA, recently completed an
internship at the Intercultural
Communication Institute as an
Intercultural Communication
Workshop facilitator. She will work
with Becky Tooley and Ellen
Taussig, teaching Toni Holmberg’s
Humanities class until Christmas.
In addition to team-teaching
Humanities, Ellen Taussig will also
teach geometry. Brad Baugher, Tye
Steinbach and Charyl Cathey will
cover Joan Schaller’s 7th grade
science classes during her
September maternity leave. Judy
Lynch will teach the new MS
Japanese language classes. Karen
Sedar, who earned her M.A. in
Mathematics Education from
Columbia University, will teach two
7th grade transition math classes.
Two Upper School (US) teachers
have elected to take sabbaticals in
the coming year. French teacher
Pam Vohnson, recipient of a
National Endowment for the
Humanities (NEH) grant, will spend
the coming year researching two
counterrevolutionary movements
that took place outside of Paris
during the French Revolution.
Replacing her while she completes
her research will be Moneeka
Settles who returns as a dorm par
ent and coach. Moneeka will teach
French and Humanities. Science
teacher Bill Lamb is taking a two
year sabbatical to work with
Apprenticeships in Science and
Engineering (ASE) at the Oregon
Graduate Institute. Rosa Hemphill,
who will stand in for Bill, graduated
Summa Cum Laude from Incarnate
Word College in San Antonio, TX
with a B.A. in Chemistry. She went
on to earn her M.S. in biochemistry
from Michigan State and has
worked as a chemistry instructor
and research assistant at the col
lege and high school level. A new
addition to the dorm family is
OREGON
EPISCOPAL
SCHOOL
12
Edward Liu, who received his B.A.
in history from Yale University.
Edward has spent the last two
summers as a teacher and admin
istrator of the Summerbridge/
Newbridge Program in San
Francisco and will assume respon
sibility as co-director of the new
OES/Catlin Gabel Summerbridge
program. Richard Sherwood, who
graduated Magna Cum Laude from
Pacific University with a double
major in Modern Languages spe
cializing in Japanese and
International Studies with an
emphasis on Asia, will teach US
Japanese and Asian History.
Richard will work with MS
Japanese teacher Judy Lynch to
develop a coordinated MS/US
Japanese program. He and his
family are living on the OES cam
pus, and he will also be coaching
the girls basketball team.
OES also welcomes a number of
new faces to staff positions. Bob
Chumbook, Assistant Headmaster
for Development, arrived on cam
pus to head the Development,
Admissions and Public Relations
offices on July 1. New to the
Admissions Office are Lisa Wood,
Assistant to the Headmaster for
Special Projects, and Laura
Wilson, Admissions Secretary. Lisa
will also be living on the OES cam
pus this year. Finally, Steve Brown
returns to the Maintenance
Department.

ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING
. verily I say unto you,
if you had faith as a grain
of mustard seed you shall
say unto that mountain
move hence to yonder
place and it shall remove;
and nothing shall be
impossible unto you.”
Matthew 17, verse 20 . ..
OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL
�HEADMASTER’S
Dear Friends,
I am proud to share with you this
Mustard Seed, our annual report of
giving to Oregon Episcopal School.
These lists of voluntary support rec
ognize many of the hundreds of par
ents, grandparents, trustees, faculty
and staff, alumni, corporations and
foundations, and other friends of the
School who have given hundreds of
thousands of charitable dollars to the
School and countless thousands of
hours of voluntary support. Such is
the critical difference between medi
ocrity and excellence. This report is a
testimonial to our excellence.
As I present this to you, I salute our
tireless, thoughtful and dedicated
volunteers. We are indebted to
Annual Fund leaders and donors, to
scores of people who made “Sequins
and Sweats” a resounding success, to
Development Committee members
who gave time and funds to help our
efforts across the board.
I pay tribute to those who served as
room parents, to leaders of wreath
sales, Halloween parties, ice cream
socials, to donors of computers, to
Country Fair entrepreneurs, and to
those who gave time and funds to
help renovate SPARC into the pre
mier athletic facility in the region.
I tip our collective hat to Parent
Association leaders, parent education
planners, Common Link organizers,
REPORT
alumni board members and trustees
who all gave the School so much
time, love and expertise throughout
the year. And of course I applaud all
those whose efforts this past year
have defied categorizing, or who, in
my own fallibility, I have neglected
to thank personally or publicly. We
cannot do what we do, without you,
and we are deeply, and indeed per
manently, grateful.
I honor our wonderful faculty and
staff who give their professional lives
to our children. I honor our children,
whose spirit, humor, independence,
warmth and pursuit of the best echo
both their parents and our faculty.
They are the warp and woof of this
educational community.
What has all this support done? It has
put more books in our libraries, more
computer technology in our class
rooms, and provided more equip
ment for our athletic programs. It has
provided over $75,000 in funds, both
present and permanent, for profes
sional growth and development
activities for our faculty. It has sup
ported families in need with financial
aid. It has maintained our Middle
School annual trips. It has augment
ed our endowments. And it has pro
vided our Upper School students
with scores of internship possibilities
during the year. And more. And
more.
It makes the critical difference.
THE MUSTARD SEED

Why? Come visit any day during the
school year and get to know our stu
dents, the young people who make
us what we are. My crowning salute,
then, in this year’s Mustard Seed is to
the girls and boys of OES. You are
our hopes and our future. Your spirit
and love, infectious good cheer and
incredible inquisitiveness validate all
we do. It is in your growth that this
wonderful volunteer support makes
the critical difference. This Mustard
Seed, then, is truly a testimonial of
love for the students of OES.
I send you my warmest personal
greetings.
Sincerely,

Peter W. Stevens
�REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT O F THE BOARD
Dear Friends:
Borrowing a phrase from the Sinatra bal
lad, “it was a very good year...”
It was a year marked by record enroll
ment, a continued strengthening of the
School’s financial base and the develop
ment of new and innovative educational
programs, not the least of which is the
continued emphasis on experiental edu
cation.
We can look back on the past year with a
strong sense of accomplishment. There
were many successes, several of which
are worth highlighting:
We took a major step toward energizing
our long-range planning efforts. Our
School community, in a collaborative
effort that involved faculty, trustees, par
ents, alumni and students, developed a
comprehensive blueprint for implement
ing rhe OES Strategic Plan. It is an ambi
tious and exciting program that will take
our School to a new level of excellence.
One of our major goals during this past
year was to begin to build a more formal
ized development program. We have
been successful in this effort due to the
leadership and direction provided by
Tony Adams as development chair, the
untiring dedication of Tom Oxholm who
revitalized our giving programs and the
creative fervor, wisdom and experience
of Fred Clark.
It is important to note that over the past
two years, charitable contributions to
OES have totaled almost $2 million.
These generous donations have allowed
us to (1) improve our physical facilities,
(2) establish a special fund dedicated to
the professional development of our fac
ulty, (3) expand scholarship programs for
our students and (4) strengthen our over
all endowment program.
I would also like to acknowledge the
extraordinary efforts of the volunteers
(parents, alumni, special friends) who
have contributed so much to OES. During
the past year we again witnessed our
“Volunteers in Action.” Under the leader
ship of Syd Waskey and Aurelia Hunt, we
enjoyed a very successful auction that
raised over $75,000 to support faculty
professional development. More impor
tantly, we had the opportunity for a
shared community experience that reaf
firmed the sense of family that exists
within OES. We also will have new com
puters in the Lower School due to the
dedicated efforts of a group of enthusias
tic volunteers led by Susan Robinson.
During the summer of 1993, OES, in a
“joint-venture" effort with our friends at
Catlin Gabel, will begin a special educa
tion program for disadvantaged youth
called Summerbridge. We have started
planning for this program, which is based
upon a national program which has
enjoyed considerable success in recent
years. It reflects our commitment to
diversity and our recognition of the need
to be more involved with the broader
Portland community.
We now begin a new year with a sense of
optimism, confidence and momentum
borne of a success that is due, in large
measure, to the leadership of Peter
Stevens and the dedication and commit
ment of faculty and staff who have done
so much for our children.
In closing, let me express my thanks and
appreciation for all the time, effort, wis
dom and guidance provided by my fel
low trustees^.---------

T7 ach year, Oregon Episcopal
XL School families are asked to
support the School in a variety
of ways, the Annual Fund being
the most common.
Seeking a broad base of sup
port from all members of the
OES Community—parents,
alumni, past parents, grandpar
ents and friends—the Annual
Fund is the sum of all unrestrict
ed gifts to the School. These
gifts make many exciting things
happen for our students. In addi
tion, they help us to keep
tuition at a reasonable and
affordable level.
Next year we look forward to
improving the way we structure
the Annual Fund. Parents, for
example, will participate and be
recognized by grade level, and
we will communicate with alum
ni through a revised class agent
system. These changes, which
will be reflected in next year’s
Annual Report, will give donors a
greater sense of participation.
During the 1991-92 school
year, over 900 generous donors
gave to the Annual Fund. Their
collective efforts helped us sur
pass the quarter million mark for
the second consecutive year—
$258,196. We would like to take
this opportunity to thank and
acknowledge their stewardship
of Oregon Episcopal School.
Q haring in the vision of Mary
O Burton Rodney, the following
donors expressed their confi
dence in OES through impres
sive generosity. More than half
the total Annual Fund results
from gifts of Rodney Society
members. We are very grateful
for their dedicated support.

Bell Tower
>nr< hanks to the generosity of
JL Cecil and Sally Drinkward,
OES dedicated a new bell tower
last November. As the newest
landmark on campus, the mag
nificent structure houses the St.
Helens Hall bell which, cast in
1870, was given to founder
Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris
as a gift from his former parish
in Philadelphia. Brought around
Cape Hom, the bell has hung in
every location of the School
since 1871.
Built by the class of 1976, the
previous wooden bell tower had
to be replaced for safety rea
sons. The Drinkward’s gift,
along with an anonymous dona
tion, also provided improve
ments for the bell tower circle.
The large rock in the circle is
a memorial to Blair Rosenlund
*75, and bears the plaque from
the previous bell tower.

A mong the donations to OES
Meach year are, literally, tens
of thousands ot “volunteer hours'*
from a myriad of people. This may
seem like an exaggeration, but
when you consider all the events
that take place, things quickly
come into perspective. The Lower
School Halloween Party, Middle
School Wreath Sale, Lower
School Fashion Show, Upper
School Ski Swap, blood drives,
picnics, Junior Great Books,
Grandparents/Special Friends
Day, Country Fair, Annual Fund
phonathons, uniform and sweat
shirt sales, parent education,
chaperons, Trustees, teacher
appreciation, room parents, grade
representatives, Book Fairs,
Lower School Computers, OES/21
Committees, graduation parties,
etc.—the list is endless!
Volunteering is truly the essence
of OES—giving time and re
sources so that our children can
get the best education possible.
We would like to personally
thank and acknowledge everyone
who gives of themselves to make
OES the warm and special place it
is. People give in so many ways
that some may appear to go unno
ticed. Rest assured, we may not
know of everyone that volunteers,
but we certainly see the tremen
dous and wonderful results of
their efforts.
The following lists include
those who volunteered or donated
to Country Fair or the Sequins and
Sweats Auction, our two biggest
events, and those who assisted
with our development efforts.
Extra care has been taken to
ensure the integrity of these lists. If
we missed you, please accept our
heartfelt apologies—your efforts
are always greatly appreciated.

AUCTION ‘92:
Sequins & Sweats
T) eople turned out in droves
± to support the 1992 Spring
Revels Auction: Sequins &
Sweats. Raising over S75.OOO
net to support professional
growth and development activi
ties for the OES faculty and staff.
Sequins & Sweats was a huge
success.
As planned, the money was
split, with one-half of the net
proceeds augmenting our oper
ating budgets for faculty and
staff growth activities. These
include conferences, course
work, research and collaborative
curriculum endeavors. The
other half was added to the
School’s Edward E. Ford
Endowment Fund, with its earn
ings restricted to fund the same
kind of activities.
We are most grateful to the
many people who stepped for
ward as volunteers, donors and
bidders to support Sequins &
Sweats—your generosity was
most impressive and thoughtful.

�erriors Russian experiences
prompt career plans
J After spending a year
at the Humanitarian
Lyceum in Moscow, senior
Erin Lamb returns to OES prepared
to pursue a career in education.
Though her year in Russia was
highlighted by opportunities to
explore different cultures, learn a
new language and glory at the
beauty of such museums as the
Hermitage in St. Petersburg—"I
could have been an artist if I had
lived there”—it was the opportunity
to observe the Soviet education
system first hand that most signifi
cantly influenced Erin’s plans for
the future.
“Russian kids were amazed that
we only attended school Monday
through Friday,” said Erin, who, like
her Russian contemporaries, was
expected to attend class from 9:00
am to 2:30 pm Monday through
Saturday, and after class, students
and teachers gather in "circles" for
discussion. These sessions, which
can last until 7:00 or 8:00 pm, pro
vide ample opportunity for the type
of in-depth discussion many
American teachers wish they had
time for. With the considerable
demands placed on a faculty
member’s time, which often
includes dinner in the low cost
school cafeteria, many Russian
teachers spend more time with
their students than they do with
their families. “Teachers are really
involved in the lives of the kids.
They ask about the family and real
ly know what’s going on in the stu
dent’s lives," Erin observed.
Lyceums are the Russian equiv
alent of our independent schools.
Though fees for attending these
schools are nominal, the intense
application process involving oral
testing and written essays single
out the serious students. Like
OESians, Erin’s friends in Moscow
attended Lyceums because they
want to learn. “If you don’t want to
learn, you go to a state school."
Teachers at the Lyceum, like
their students, are serious about
education. "Teachers come to the
Lyceum to teach the way they
want instead of the way the state
system dictates." They are attract-
ed to the independent schools
because of the higher level of stu
dent commitment and the freedom
to use innovative teaching meth
ods—much like their counterparts
here at OES.
With Russian host parents
Zhenia Abelyuk and Ilya Leenson,
both teachers, Erin was immersed
in education both at school and
home. This gave her a unique
opportunity to speak frankly about
the issues affecting educators in
Russia. Russian teachers are part
of the intelligentsia class—made
up of people who have chosen to
pursue higher education.
Unfortunately, the recent economic
upheaval following the break-up of
the former Soviet Union has had
painful economic consequences
for this group. "The pay for
teachers is pathetic. The
government is going
back to the basics, and
J
the general view seems
f
to be, 'We need to pay
J
miners and farmers
I
more.’ It’s general knowl- 1
age citizen never thinks to ask for
anything. They just assume they’ll
be told, ‘No,’ so they don’t even
ask.” This willingness to follow the
dictates of the system, coupled
with the fact that the average citi
zen trusts the politicians, was diffi
cult for Erin, who together with her
family, has been actively involved
in civic affairs.
“It’s also a very chauvinistic
society with definite perceptions of
women's work and men’s work.
There’s no Freddy’s in Russia, so
these women have to carry their
shopping bags from store to store.
They go to one store to buy milk,
and the next to buy bread, and so
on. These bags become very
heavy, yet there is this perception
that women are helpless and can’t
do any heavy lifting. I asked
this one guy if he let his
. mother carry heavy shopping bags, and his face
flushed bright red. The
mother is expected to
111 do all the chores—
c"® clean the house,
edge that the intelligentsia
are not a priority.” To put
this in perspective, consider
that a teacher in Moscow
earns roughly 1,000 rubles ($10.00
American) per month, while a
street vendor can make 1,000
rubles a day. "By Russian stan
dards, you are doing well if you
can buy an apple a day and honey
occasionally.”
Though most teachers remain
committed to their vocation
despite the low pay, Erin believes
escalating inflation and severe
food shortages may force these
individuals to make difficult deci
sions in the coming year. "People
had stores of food this year, but
next year will be really bad. Every
body is hurting. For now, my
[Russian] parents plan to continue
teaching, but they have two chil
dren to consider. If they begin to
starve, they’ll have to change."
And change is inevitable.
Despite recent upheavals in the
political system, habits formed
under the communist government
are hard to break. “The entire sys
tem is so bureaucratic. The aver
cook the meals, take
care of the kids."
Fathers, too, have a
distinct role in the Russian
culture. “Dad repairs things. He
repairs the walls, fixes appliances,
chases mice and rats—we were
lucky; we didn’t have any rats—
and he kills the cockroaches,
which you can’t get rid of anyway.”
After an eye-opening year of
political and cultural revolution,
Erin has returned to the United
States with plans for the future.
“I’d like to start a school in an
underprivileged area—an intense
school for learning where I will
teach language and math at earlier
ages and promote new ideas. With
a solid background at an earlier
age, students will be able to do so
much more with their lives."
By combining the best elements
of what she has learned at OES
with her Russian experiences, Erin
hopes her ideas will provide in
creased opportunities for students
and teachers to exchange ideas.

E.E. FORD FOUNDATION
FUNDS OES
ENDOWMENT
A generous grant of
/W $50,000 from the
A. A. Edward E. Ford
Foundation earlier this year
established an endowment
fund for faculty and staff
professional growth and
development. Named by
OES in honor of the
Foundation, the Fund has
grown to over $118,000
thanks to several generous
donors and all those who
supported the Sequins &
Sweats Auction, w hich con
tributed half its proceeds.
Income from the Endow
ment will be used to help
faculty and staff fund class
es, seminars and other edu
cational opportunities. This
summer over 75 individuals
are involved in professional
growth and development
activities.
LS Head says good-bye
When it came rr
KLiM
time for OES
to say farewell
to Maxine
Carlstedt, who
has been
□Bfl
Lower School
since 1987,
perhaps the children said it best.
Clustered around her special chair,
in an unplanned but perfect touch,
they shared the oohs and ahs, the
giggles and sighs as LS families,
faculty and staff presented Max with
a memory book along with a collec
tion of hats—nurse hat, traffic offi
cer (cone) hat, sticker box hat. The
highlight of the May 27 evening was
Hal Phillips’ slide show, A Salute to
Maxine.
Student OMSI exhibit on salmon held
over by popular demand
Working together, OES biology and art students created and
produced a special exhibit for the Oregon Museum of Science
and Industry (OMSI)—What is it like to be a wild salmon in the
Columbia River Basin?—that was originally scheduled to run
from May 29 to June 15. But according to OMSI, the exhibit
received so many positive comments that OMSI decided to hold
it over into July.
Under the direction of OES art teacher Sue Jensen and biolo
gy teacher John LeCavalier, along with OMSI staff designers,
students created a salmons’ eye view of drift nets, hydro-elec
tric dams and gravel-bottomed spawning grounds—an opportu
nity to experience the life-cycle of the anadromous wild salmon.
The Biology students who acted as the writing and research
team developed the supporting text. “The group editing
required to distill one page of text into one paragraph of careful,
age-appropriate language is a challenge not often encountered
at such an early age,’’ said John. “And the small group process
inherent in the project gave them a unique opportunity for col
laborative decision-making.”
Art Trek students made three-dimensional paper mache mod
els of salmon at various stages of growth. They also designed,
painted and dyed fabric backdrops that represent the life cycle
of the salmon.
The exhibit opened with a special reception on Friday, May
29, which featured specially designed fish cookies procured by
OES Food Service Manager Jeff Marsh.
OES installs new phone system
Having outgrown its previous system, OES installed a new
AT&T phone system that will meet the School’s expanding
needs. While retaining a receptionist for incoming calls, the
new system offers several options for improved accessibili
ty, including user friendly voice mail and some direct dial
numbers. OES hopes to complete training (and break-in)
for all employees by the end of September.

A During the yearlong pioneer unit third graders not only learn
the historicalfacts but also read from actual pioneerjournals,
makefamily trees, examine beaver habitats, make candles and
paper quilts, learn pioneer games and songs and write diaries of
themselves as pioneer children on the Oregon Trail. Here Kelly
Kitchel and Rachel Knox play jacks with friends.
▼ For Adam Hewitt, the
experience was particularly
memorable. Adam is the
great great great grandnephew
of the Adam Hewitt who met
with fellow pioneers at
Champoeg Park and voted
to organize a provisional gov
ernment under the United
States in 1841. In fact, the
original Adam Hewitt's name
is listed with hisfellows on the
monument that commemorates
the event in the park. (He’s
pointing to the name.) Adam,
who is the son of Henry and
Sharon Hewitt, shared stories

Alumni Profile
Bobby Lee ’88
“One person can make a differ
ence,” says Bobby Lee. “That’s
one of the reasons I chose to run
for student body president at the
University of Oregon.” He ran on a
platform with strong equal oppor
tunity and affirmative action planks
and won. Today he heads the
Associated Students of the
University of Oregon, which con
trols a $4.7 million budget to pro
vide student services.
▲ Bobby Lee ’88
elected U of O
student body
president for 92- '93
A Korean-American, Bobby came
to OES speaking English as a sec
ond language and spent two years
at OES studying hard and playing
drums, soccer and basketball. “My
confidence wasn’t very high at first;
it takes guts for an international
student to speak up and partici
pate. But OES builds confidence
and encourages participation.”
Bobby describes the U of O as a
“community of associations—
dormies, international students,
Greeks, etc." that embodies more
than 17,000 students. “It’s very,
very big. You are your Social
Security number, rather than a
name." Coming from OES, which
he describes as “a community of
individuals”, his response to the
long lines and large classes was to
get actively involved.
OREGON
EPISCOPAL
SCHOOL
He became dorm president his
freshman year and began as an
intern in student government (the
Associated Students of the
University of Oregon or ASUO). In
1990 he became a peer counselor,
and then took an ASUO executive
position as affirmative action coor
dinator during his sophomore and
junior years. As a sophomore he
also worked with fellow alum John
Thomas *89 to found a campus
radio station, which they hope will
begin broadcasting in August
1992. Bobby remained interested
in minority affairs, affirmative
action and equal opportunity — he
helped get the funding for the
University’s first Asian American
Studies class institutionalized, and
both Bobby and John completed a
major research project comparing
the number of minority and white
athletes who graduate. Meanwhile,
Bobby continued to work his way
up through student government,
serving a term as president of the
ASUO organization that oversees
student health insurance.
“The U of O is only one of three uni
versities in the nation where student
government controls incidental
fees. This gives the ASUO $4.7 mil
lion to use in providing services that
include hate crime prevention pro
grams, access for the handicapped,
safety, transportation, childcare,
athletic tickets, counseling and
family housing.” Bobby explained
that “the five branches of student
government in the ASUO mirror the
real world. We deal with business
issues, equal opportunity, equitable
allocation, social needs, and issues
resulting from the OCA [Oregon
Citizen’s Alliance] petition to
Measure 5.” The ASUO also lobbies
on the University, State and Federal
levels.
“After being in student government
so long, I began to understand that
ASUO decisions affect people’s
lives. There were a lot of people
who believed that I knew the issues
and had the passion to make the
right choices,” said Bobby, describ
ing his decision to run for ASUO
president. Bobby’s platform gave U
of O students his plans for allocat
ing the ASUO budget, including
provisions for safety, students with
disabilities, violence prevention
and, in response to Measure 5,
“quality education at a minimum
cost”. Bobby says, “If we have to
counteract the inequity [that exists
in today’s society], let’s fund it.”
Bobby ran against three other can
didates and clinched the position
in the primary, with support from a
several different groups—Greeks,
16
family housing, dorms, internation
al students, ethnic minorities and
women. On May 25 he began his
12-month term of office as ASUO
president. “I am now in a position
to make decisions that affect many
people. That means I am constant
ly held accountable. My job is to
articulate the vision.”
The new ASUO president is not the
only visible OES alumni at U of O.
“There is a standing joke,” says
Bobby, “that these OESians from a
little private school in Portland are
taking over student government at
U of O.” Although he laughs, Bobby
admits that OES alumni are very
involved. John Thomas was just
elected president of the Student
Senate, the academic arm of
ASUO. Dylan Coulter ‘89 served as
one of Bobby's campaign man
agers, after running a successful
campaign for longer library hours
this past year. Jason Sprague ‘89 is
a member of the Student Senate.
OESians at U of O also stay in
touch with each other through
what Bobby calls “our OES alum
network”. They meet about once a
month, sometimes playing softball
or basketball or taking a trip to the
beach. Last year they had
Thanksgiving dinner together. “I
have even become friends with
OESians that I didn’t know well at
OES. It’s not over just because
we’ve graduated.” Bobby would
like to start an annual summer
gathering for young alums to help
young alumni keep their ties
together.
Bobby described OES as a safe
place to ask difficult questions.
“Teachers at OES see students as
individuals. But, more than anything
else,” he said, “there is an OESian
spirit. OESians are more real. They
make a sincere effort; they’re curi
ous. I may not have recognized it
then, but in looking back, I see it as
something terribly important.
Bobby, who plans to pursue law
school after his year as ASUO
president, says, “OES helped me
strengthen basic human skills
such as interpersonal communica
tion, respect and listening. I feel
very fortunate to have had an OES
education.”
�Alumni Association
President’s Corner
This issue begins the second
year of the President’s Corner.
Over the past year, I have enjoyed
writing about all the wonderful
things happening at OES and with
you, our alumni.
During Reunion Weekend in
June, a record number of alumni
visited the OES campus. The Great
Hall and Dining Room were abuzz
with voices and laughter as old
days were remembered and new
friends made. An excellent lunch
was enjoyed by all, followed by an
informative State of the School
speech, given by Headmaster
Peter Stevens. Our featured
speaker, John LeCavalier, Upper
School science teacher and envi
ronmentalist, educated us on how
important the preservation of our
wetlands and wildlife is. I enjoyed
meeting many of you that day!
I am pleased to report that plans
for Founders’ Day 1992 are in
motion! The annual luncheon will
be held Wednesday, November 18
at the Multnomah Athletic Club.
Our featured speaker is the newly
appointed Superintendent of
Portland Public Schools, Dr. John
Bierworth. Dr. Bierworth will speak
on the role of the Public Schools
and the Private Schools working
together in our community. I hope
you will join us for what looks to be
a great 123rd Founders’ Day! For
the second year, we will again
honor an outstanding alumna/us
with the Bishop Benjamin Wistar
Morris Distinguished Alumni
Award.
One of our new programs that I
am particularly excited about is the
Class Agent program. Our goal is
to have a class agent for each
class. This individual will serve as a
liaison between classmates and
the school. Some of the duties
include organizing class notes for
the Belltower, working as class
leader for the Annual Fund and
encouraging classmates to attend
alumni events and reunions. This is
a wonderful opportunity for you to
rekindle old friendships and
become involved with OES.
Our 125th Birthday is only two
short years away. Plans for a cele
bration of this size takes time and
commitment by everyone in the
OES community. The steering
committee has formed and already
has begun to organize this once in
a lifetime celebration. Sean Kuni
‘81 has accepted the role as the
alumni chairperson for this event.
Again, I hope to see many of you
involved in this project, and if you
are called to volunteer, I hope you
will give of your time!
Please take a moment to look at
the Alumni Association Calendar
for 1992-93. I encourage you to
attend one of our Board meet
ings—we always welcome new
faces and ideas! As always, if you
have any ideas or suggestions on
how we can serve the alumni com
munity better, please contact me.
You are important to us.

The Senior Service and Reception
on Tuesday, June 9th, kicked off the
activities for Reunion Week 1992.
Headmaster Peter Stevens and Alumni
Board President Meridel Prideaux
welcomed the 59 seniors into the OES
Alumni Association with the gift of an
OES alumni laundry bag and warm
wishes from alumni, parents and friends.
On the following evening, Trinity

Lillian Johnson Wonders, who travelled
from Victoria B.C., Charmian Kolar
Hilleary, Anne Walker Davis and Joyce
Wollum Stent.
With hardly enough time to take a
breath, the annual Alumni Luncheon fol
lowed on Friday, June 12. Over 80 alumni
from the classes of 1927-1985, together
with friends and family members, visited
the OES campus. The day began with
the Alumni Memorial Service at the
Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, which
gives friends and family an opportunity to
remember fellow alumni who died in the
past year. Muriel Gabriel Heltzel ‘30 and
Peter Stevens read the lessons. The
Dean of the Cathedral, the Very Rev. Roy
Coulter, was the celebrant, and James
Isaak ‘85 was the organist. After the ser
vice, alumni gathered in the Great Hall for
a social featuring a special memorabilia
exhibit highlighting the Junior College,
and reunion classes enjoyed Memory
Books, annuals and memorabilia span
ning the past 70 years.
After welcoming the group at the lun
cheon, Alumni President Meridel

Alumni Association’s activities over the
past year and recognized outgoing
Alumni Board members Nancy Stolte
Rosenfeld, Diana Beebe Buchanan and
Geri Hanny Sargent for their three years
of hard work and dedication to the
Board. Headmaster Peter Stevens’ State
of the School address followed.
An enlightening speech on the impor
tance of preserving our educational wet
lands by keynote speaker, John
LeCavalier, who is an Upper School sci
ence teacher and environmentalist, high
lighted the luncheon. John used maps
and graphs as visual aids to discuss the
OES Wetlands.
Maryanna Eckman Hatch '42 JC from
Durham, New Hampshire and Arlene
Wollin Margulies ‘42 from Springfield,
New Jersey were the two alums who had
travelled the farthest to attend the re
union. Members of the classes of 1942
SHH and 1942 JC, both celebrating their
50-year reunion, received an OES paper

did conversation and company. Current
faculty members Cynthia Doran (College
Counseling), Bill Lamb (Science) and
David Streight (Counseling) visited with
former students from the classes of 1981

Sports and Recreation Center (SPARC).
Kevin Cavanagh *82 received an OES
mug for travelling from Hilton Head,
South Carolina for his 10 year reunion.

Meet new Alumni Board
This year, the Alumni Board wel
comes four new members. The
Board strives to represent all of our
constituents from St. Helens Hall,
Junior College, Bishop Dagwell
Hall and Oregon Episcopal School.
Members range in class years from
1928-1983. Meet new members:
Kelly Dwyer ‘83, Melvin “Mel”
Murphy *82, Alexandra "Allie”

and working in San Francisco for
several years. Currently, she
designs with Pacific Studios, her
own firm. Allie was instrumental in
planning her 15-year class reunion
last year and looks forward to
becoming involved with more
alumni events.
KELLY DWYER spent a total of
ten years as a student at OES. She
holds a BA in government from
Smith College and an MBA in
Finance from Notre Dame. In addi

members say it is a rewarding and
gratifying experience to represent
your class and school. Please con
tact Alumni Board President
Meridel Prideaux or the Alumni
Office if you would like to be a part
of this special group.
SUPERINTENDENT
OF PPS TO SPEAK AT
FOUNDERS’ DAY
Alumni, trustees, faculty, staff, par
ents and members of the OES
community are invited to celebrate
the founding of St. Helens Hall,
Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon
Episcopal School on Wednesday,
November 18, at the School’s
annual Founders’ Day Luncheon
which will be held at the
Multnomah Athletic Club.
John E. Bierwirth, Portland Public
School District’s new superinten
dent, has graciously accepted the
Alumni Association’s invitation to
speak on "how independent and
public schools work together for
the good of education”.
Bierwirth officially took charge of
the 56,000-student district—the
largest in the Pacific Northwest—
on July 1. Though quick to
acknowledge the challenges he
faces under the property tax limits
of Measure 5, Bierwirth says, "I
won’t hold kids hostage for more
money.” He is committed to push
ing for higher student achieve
ment.
The Founders’ Day Luncheon also
provides an opportunity to intro
duce the recipient of the Benjamin
Wistar Morris Distinguished
Service Award. This award, estab
lished last year, recognizes a St.
Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall
and Oregon Episcopal School
alumnus who, through their com
mitment and service, has achieved
significant successes in her/his
professional careers and/or has
made outstanding contributions in
community involvement, thereby
bringing honor to themselves and
to OES.

�BDH alumni joins campaign trail
"Norm Frink (BDH ‘71) and I
worked a lot in student politics. I
still carry a lot of that with me,”
said Ted Thomas BDH ‘71. Ted,
who chaired the Oregon Ross
Perot Petition Campaign, remem
bers a school designed in the pat
tern of a New England boys prep
school. "The attempt was made by
the headmaster and the board to
impose heavy discipline—very
authoritarian. It was a really inter
esting time—very controversial.
But when you attempt to impose
authoritarian rules, people will find
a way to circumnavigate. I sup
pose it was a natural, intuitive
response, consistent with what
was going on in the 60s. I really
enjoyed OES. It was a very good
education. And the rules didn’t hurt
at all."
When Ted left OES, he believed he
had left politics behind him, but
when Ted began to feel as though
though his ideas no longer count
ed, it was time to re-evaluate. “I
feel like everyone has to get up off
the armchair and get involved in
the political process or the country
is doomed," explained Ted. It is
this belief that each person is
responsible, at some level, that
prompted Ted, who then recruited
his old BDH pal, Norm, to become
involved in the now disbanded
Ross Perot political campaign.
Recently, he had begun to believe
he had no voice where government
was concerned. "Our government
system is based on surrogates—
journalists interpreting our views,
determining who is or is not impor
tant to listen to and, based on that,
telling the people in Washington,
D.C. what we think. This makes it
easy to get out of the loop of those
being heard."
As the owner of Grand Max
Software, a PC custom business
software firm, Ted sought a candi
date who met his criteria for
President. "Government is like one
very large business. You’ve got to
set your priorities. Can the candi
date run an organization? Does he
have the organizational manage
ment skills? Does he have his pri
orities in order?"
AUTUMN

Ted also believes people have
started voting for issues rather
than candidates. "People need
to concentrate on the person
rather than the issues. The
President really doesn’t have any
control over the issues, so aligning
to the issues is pointless. The
President should be willing to
look to the electorate for their feel
ings on issues and should follow
the dictates of the electorate.”
Though Perot’s supporters were
disappointed in their candidate’s
decision to withdraw from the
presidential race, this group
remains committed to many of the
principles on which his campaign
was based—sound fiscal manage
ment of government and a com
mitment to listen to the electorate.
This extremely organized group
has refused to disband and
appears determined to have their
views addressed, with or without a
candidate.
YESTERDAY AND TODAY
Peter Stevens meets Bishop Morris’ granddaughter
In February, OES Headmaster
Peter Stevens stopped to visit with
Mrs. Robert (Mary Wistar)
O’Connor, daughter of Benjamin
Wistar Morris, who was born at St.
Helens Hall in 1870, the son of
Benjamin Wistar Morris, Bishop of
Oregon and founder of the School.
Her great aunt Mary Rodney was
the School's first headmistress,
assisted by her sisters Lydia and
Clementine and Rachel Morris.
Although Mary Wistar has only
been to Oregon once since a visit
at the age of five, she remains
interested in her "grandfather’s and
Aunt Mary’s dream".
Mary Wistar remembers stories of
her grandparents meeting, and of
her father’s birth, as well as tales of
the challenge of founding a school
just 25 years after the Oregon Trail
opened. She has particularly vivid
memories of her personal experi
ences of a train trip to Portland
when she was five—she remem
bers crying at the plight of some
poor Native Americans. Things
had changed from her grandfa
ther’s accounts of Native American
friends—friends who had once
returned his sons who had become
lost while camping. Mary Wistar
mentioned that she has many,
many letters and papers from an
interesting and widely connected
family.
Mary Wistar’s father was the last
child of Hannah Rodney and the
Bishop, and the only one not born
in the East. At the age of six, he
witnessed the tragic death of his
older brother, Rodney, in a con
struction accident. After early
schooling in Oregon, he went East
to Columbia College in New York,
but returned to Oregon briefly after
the death of his aunt Mary. Back in
the East he was invited to pursue
his career in art and architecture at
the Beaux Art in Paris, and later
became a widely recognized archi
tect. Mary Wistar grew up in the
East and married Robert O’Connor,
who was a junior partner in her
father's architectural firm.

In November, the School presented
the Distinguished Alumni Award to
Ruth Jenkins ‘20, honoring her
long and committed service to
education. During her visit to
Portland and OES from her home
in southern California, she spent
time with many of us, including
students. Here is a bit of what she
wrote to us afterwards:
A Letter from
the Headmaster
Dear Friends,
It is rare and wonderful when we
have the opportunity for compre
hensive future planning to be vali
dated by exemplary past achieve
ment. But that’s just what has
happened this fall at OES.
This issue of The BellTower shares
with you a summary of our exciting
and visionary OES/21, the plan for
the School for the 21st Century.
Building upon the framework of the
1988-89 Strategic Plan, hundreds
of faculty and staff members,
trustees, students, parents, alumni
and other friends of the School
worked for 18 months to develop
OES/21. The Board of Trustees
adopted the result in August of
1992.
"It was good to see the School in
action with its many innovations
and developments. I wish all the
alumni could see the School as it is
today, for I am sure it would engen
der support... I hope Portland
appreciates the quality of OES.
There seemed to be great enthusi
asm for it, which I trust will contin
ue. .. Today OES is very different
from St. Helens Hall in my day, but
I trust students today will be as
richly blest as we were in the earli
er days. There is every indication
from what I saw that this is so."
Let me urge you all to follow Ruth’s
hope and come back to visit us.
You will sense that the excellence
wrought by Bishop Morris over 100
years ago lives today in people and
programs appropriate to the times.
You, too, will be proud of what we
are, and you will share the excite
ment of what we will be.
I send warmest greetings to
you all.
Sincerely,
Peter W. Stevens
Ruth’s message of warm apprecia
tion, especially meaningful coming
from a school head of almost 30
years, echoes what we hear from
alumni and friends over the
decades, as we prepare today for
the challenges of tomorrow. The
past validates and forms the
future.
OES/21 is a broad plan, embracing
development and enhancement of
programs and
resources in
curriculum, co
curriculum, pro
fessional growth
and development
and compensation
support for faculty
and staff, financial
aid for students
and families, and
facilities. It is
ambitious, yet
worthy of the
OES tradition of
excellence.

A first!
The Varsity Girls Soccer team
played a tough game against
Sherwood High School on
Tuesday, November 17, in the
semi-finals of the State Soccer
Playoffs at OES. It was the
School’s first semi-finals in girls
soccer.
The OES team, ranked 9th in the
State with an 11-5-1 record, faced
a very strong Sherwood team,
ranked 2nd in the State with a
record of 13-1-1.
To earn their semi-final berth, the
OES girls beat Marist High School
of Eugene, the State’s 6th ranked
team, on Saturday, November 14,
in the quarter finals. OES scored
two first half goals—one by Andy
Girls Varsity Soccer
makes State Semi-Finals
Orfanakis, the other by Ashley
Berman—to defeat Marist 2-0. The
OES defense recorded its tenth
shutout of the season.
The semi-final game matched the
OES team’s tough defense against
the high scoring Sherwood
offense. Sherwood scored early in
the first half, but OES Senior
Courtney Sherwood got the tying
goal 30 minutes into the half with
an assist from Ninth Grader Ashley
Berman. OES defense was led by
Sophomore Larisa Meissenheimer
and Junior Margaret Spring.

aging their teams. With about ten
minutes to go in regulation play,
Sherwood capitalized on a loose
ball and scored their second goal
to win the game.
Says Coach Kris Van Hatcher ‘70,
“This was a fine season for the
OES team—a team that had to
replace six starters from the previ
ous year and then lost its returning
lead scorer, Sophomore Courtney
Voelker, to a knee injury early in the
season. With twelve players return
ing next year, this team will be a
force—a contender for the State
title—in 1993.”

Why do record numbers continue to play sports at OES?
By Kris Van Hatcher ‘70
OES Athletic Director
The national average for high
school students participating in
competitive sports is about 20 per
cent. At OES, an average of 84
percent of Upper School students
participate in at least one sport
each year. This fall, 110 of 197 stu
dents were active in a sport. And
this record participation remains
constant, year after year.
OES provides tremendous athletic
opportunities for students. Not
only can our best athletes compete
at a high level of competition, but
there are also teams for beginners
and less experienced players.
Every student has the opportunity
to play. Our program is also struc
tured so that those students at the
top of the game compete more
intensely, while beginners play
against other beginning teams.
All national surveys say that stu
dents want to have fun when com
peting in sports. I feel this is one of
our strengths at OES. We have a
coaching staff that truly cares for
each individual. We arrange special
trips and tournaments for the vari
ous teams. And we have students
who care for each other—who
support each individual no matter
the level of ability.
Our program is different—better, if
you will. At many schools reputed
for their high-powered athletic pro
grams, the number of competitive
levels drops dramatically after the
freshman year. Only the best ath
letes can continue to play. At OES
we believe it’s important to contin
ue playing throughout high
school—for the value of participa
tion and the experience.
I admit, sitting in the stands cheer
ing on a team at a big school has
some attraction. But only some. I
know most students would rather
be actively involved—on the field.
That’s what we offer.
At OES, we have teams that
consistently compete at the State
level—soccer, tennis, fencing,
track. But we also have a place
for the student who just wants to
give it a try.

Project Transcend expands horizons
Project Transcend, a program
designed primarily by OES Middle
School (MS) faculty two years ago,
helps students gain an under
standing and appreciation of cul
tural differences, while they learn
ways to transcend those differ
ences in order to reach a common
goal. Project Transcend has tradi
tionally been considered a MS
activity with three main compo
nents: Anti-discrimination training,
video and leadership. But the
steady growth and evolution of the
program has allowed Project
Transcend to expand.

!
8th graders, these high school stu
dents now volunteer their time and
skills to help “the new recruits”.
Not only do they receive no high
school credit, but they must also
arrange with their individual teach
ers to make up the work they miss
while working with the middle
school students.
These students act as assistant
anti-discrimination trainers during
school hours and give up evenings
and week-ends to help out.
Several participated in the Anne
Frank workshops on November 7.
As an example, on September 24
and 25, ninth graders Cameron
Stewart, Shannon Gilronan and
Kay Washington volunteered to
help out at the Project Transcend
overnight. This event gathered
middle school students from OES,
Catlin Gabel, Whitaker and
Fernwood Middle Schools at
Portland State University, where
they began their anti-discrimination
training.

�Science writer explores new simulated worlds
with students

by Rothrock
Converse with the great minds of history? See inside a volcano?
Practice the latest surgical techniques without the risk?
Science fiction? Not anymore.
Visiting speaker Timothy Ferris,
Ph.D., introduced OES Upper
School students to Virtual Reality
on Thursday, November 5, as this
year’s first lecturer in the Science,
Technology and Society Series
presented by the Institute for
Science, Engineering and Public
Policy (ISEPP). Dr. Ferris is a sci
ence journalist and Pulitzer Prize
nominee, involved with the
neurosciences and the search
for extraterrestrial intelligence
(SET). Through his work with SETI,
Ferris became interested in Virtual
Reality and related topics.
He first defined what is meant by
Virtual Reality, or VR as it is com
monly called. Virtual reality is
an emerging kind of computer
simulation. The VR environment
can be either a replica of an
existing place or an entirely
fictional locale.
s
The important difference between
ordinary computer simulations and
VR is how the user interfaces with
the computer. In a computer simu
lation, information is usually pre
sented on a monitor, and the user
interacts with the computer
through devices such as a key
board or a mouse. In VR the user
is immersed in the simulation.
Information is presented to the
user in a three dimensional world.
Dr. Ferris displayed several over
head slides to illustrate two of the
most common pieces of VR tech
nology. VR goggles are roughly the
equivalent of strapping two small
television screens in front of your
eyes. The two screens have similar,
but slightly different images on
them to simulate the experience of
stereo vision. The “data glove”
uses sensors to relay different
hand motions and gestures to the
computer. Input from the glove
can be used to grab virtual objects
and move them around the virtual
landscape.
He then described several different
uses for VR. Simulations have long
been used in flight training and
other fields, where cost or danger
are a factor. He sees possible
training applications for surgery,
especially with the recent advan
ces in micro-surgery. Some artists
and performers, e.g. Lauri
Anderson and Brian Eno, use VR
to create art or cultural experi
ences. He then brought up a
subject dear to the hearts of
OESians everywhere: Education!
Educational applications are wide
ranging, from exploring a tropical
rainforest, to swimming along the
ocean floor. With appropriate pro
grams, students could explore
places, like these, which are dan
gerous or not readily accessible.
It is also possible to create a simu
lated person, called a “veemer”.
Ferris gave an example of pro
gramming a veemer to simulate
Socrates so we could sit at the
feet of the philosopher and con
verse much as Plato did.
Dr. Ferris also described a darker
side to VR. A few years ago the
advertising/media giant, Saatchi
and Saatchi, studied possible uses
of this technology to create “Virtual
Malls”, where teens could use VR
to roam through virtual stores and
order virtual products—later to be
delivered to their real homes, and
most importantly, charged to real
credit cards.
After the session was opened to
questions from the audience, a
panel of students from Rosa
Hemphill's Science, Technology and
Society class moderated. Several
students asked questions about
how VR interacts with senses other
than vision. Dr. Ferris mentioned the
difficulties of incorporating smell
and the implications of including
sound. Touch feedback, say the
heft of a virtual rock, is a major
effort of current VR research.
9
When asked about the possible
dangers of not being able to distin
guish reality from the simulated
world, he felt the danger to be
remote. He said, “One of the most
interesting effects of VR is that
when you take the goggles off,
you are most impressed by the
quality of reality.”
When asked about applications for
those with special needs, Dr. Ferris
agreed that VR will be useful for
the handicapped, since it over
comes many physical limitations.
After the X-period assembly, Dr.
Ferris met with a smaller group of
30 to 40 students. While the sub
ject of VR was brought up several
times, the conversation focused on
education and his involvement with
SETI.
“One of the most
interesting
effects of VR, is
that when you
take off the
goggles, you are
most impressed
by the quality of
reality. ”
Students asked what they should
study if they were interested in
SETI or VR. Dr. Ferris emphasized
the fundamentals—astrophysics,
astronomy, mathematics, statistics,
computer science and subjects not
on the science career track. He
repeatedly underscored the impor
tance of wide reading, especially
the classics.
A former commentator for National
Public Radio’s All Things Con
sidered, and a bestselling author
of Coming of Age in the Milky Way,
Dr. Ferris also spoke at the Arlene
Schnitzer Concert Hall on Friday,
November 6, at 7:30 pm. For the
third year, OES is co-sponsoring
the Science, Technology and
Society Lectures, which are pre
sented by ISEPP.

BT: How does the crew differ
from the cast?
Jack: The stage crew doesn’t
look for applause, but pats on the
back are essential. But the best
reward is the satisfaction.
Behind the scenes —
an interview with
Jack O’Brien
Although he came to OES as a
bus driver, Jack O’Brien soon
moved to the Upper School, where
he’s been teaching visual arts and
technical theatre for 10 years,
along with directing and occasional
acting. He has often used the
School’s lack of a dedicated
theatre to focus on alternative ways
of developing an exceptional pro
gram. As a serious professional
artist—he also designs sets for
Portland area productions—Jack
wants to pass his art and love of
theatre on to students.
I
BellTower: How did stagecraft
get started at OES?
Jack O’Brien: It began as an
activity designed to improve the
technical theatre aspects of our
productions. I had previously seen
six plays—enough to know that
you can make reality out of noth
ing. We learned by doing. Using
tools was the easy part; we relied
heavily on books and magazines.
In our first production, Monkey
House in fall ‘82, we no longer had
light instruments hanging by ropes
from nails.
BT: You’ve obviously come
a long way...
Jack: Stagecraft became a very
popular activity. By the time we did
Anne Frank in 1985, we had a crew
of 24. It’s still an activity today—
I don’t want it to be just another
class. I want kids to do it because
they want to, because they enjoy
it, not because they have to take a
class.
BT: What is the stagecraft
activity like?
Jack: It’s experiential education
in the highest sense of the word. I
pair those with skills with begin
ners. One of our strengths is the
mix—seniors, ninth graders, boys,
girls. If we’re not working on a set,
we’re working on a project
designed to teach specific skills;
building your own table or chair
out of scraps teaches joinery and
how to use power tools safely and
efficiently.
BT: What’s your role?
Jack: Basically, after I’ve done
the lessons, I float. I ask questions.
The kids work independently. To
the costume designer, I say:
"Here’s the costume room, and
here’s the measurement forms.
Talk to the director for ideas. And
here’s $200; try these places." I
offer all the help I can, but I don’t
do it for them. Students know that
if they’re not there when we need
them, it won’t happen. Only twice
in about 100 performances was I
really needed—once when a circuit
blew in the middle of a scene and
once when a taped voice didn’t
play, and I came out and read the
voice in the dark.
BT: What is the stage
manager’s job?
Jack: It’s the stage manager’s
responsibility to make the show
run. There is no better position in
which a student is given so much
responsibility or as much support.
Most schools don’t offer this
opportunity. Stage managers learn
the difference between power and
responsibility and what it feels like
to have people depending on you.
They learn to calm people down,
tell them it will be fine, and then
they make sure it is fine. It’s the
one position I choose. The kids
know that they have to prove
themselves for it.

BT: Do you think your program
is effective?
Jack: The sign of a successful
performance is one in which I’m
superfluous. I’ve never felt so good
about being a teacher in my life...
my father had died the Friday
before tech week, and I had to
leave. I returned in the middle of
the first act on a Saturday night full
house. The stage manager and the
crew had taken care of everything.
The show was up.
BT: What do students get out
of participating, besides some
incredible skills?
Jack: The immediacy makes
theatre exciting. It charges kids.
You know you’re on—you can’t call
time. Theatre is the scariest thing,
also the most exciting. Kids learn
to be confident because they’re
prepared.
BT: What is it that you like
about theatre?
Jack: Theatre is a different art
form. It occupies time and space.
It's live. You plan. You practice.
You try. You hope nothing goes
wrong. But if it does, it’s not the
end of the world—it’s still just
a play.

OES ENROLLMENT
CONTINUES AT
RECORD LEVELS
Enrollment continues strong at
Oregon Episcopal School this fall with
669 students enrolled as of September,
continuing the trend for record levels.
In addition, a record enrollment of 30
international boarding students in the
Upper School (grades 9-12). brings the
total boarding population to 54, just over
27 percent of the Upper School student
body of 197, one of the largest ever.
Opening enrollment figures for 9192 and 90-91, both record highs, were
672 and 648 respectively.
According to OES Admissions Director
Sue Nicol, the School's strong enrollment
"reflects a steadily increasing awareness
of the value of independent education, as
well as confidence in OES as a leading
college preparatory, liberal arts school in
the Episcopal tradition." Almost all grade
levels are full, some still had active wait
pools into the fall. Nicol encourages
those interested in enrolling at OES next
year to begin the admission process early.
Of the 30 international boarding stu
dents, 21 are from the Pacific Rim coun
tries of Japan, Korea, Hong Kong,
Taiwan, Thailand. Indonesia, the
Republic of Palau (a U.S. protectorate)
and the Republic of China. The remain
der are from Sweden, England, Spain,
Germany, Venezuela, Turkey and Russia.
T\vo students are the children of
American parents living in Saudi Arabia.
“The presence of our international
students prorides the school a unique
educational opportunity," says OES
Headmaster Peter Stevens. "A primary
goal at OES during the next decade is to
teach our students how to respond to
the multicultural challenges they will
face in the next century. Because our
international students are all scholars
representing geographic areas and cul
tures that will play significant roles in
finding solutions to the world's social
and economic problems, their involve
ment with the OES community adds sig
nificantly to the School's educational
environment."

On being “green”
There are no easy answers when it comes to making
the most of the earth’s resources. At OES we know
part of the answer is education, as well as prudent use
and recycling. We are committed to using paper with
care, balancing the need to communicate with
thoughtful consumption.
Whenever possible and economically feasible, we
use recycled papers for publications—easier now that
the cost has come down in response to consumer
demand. The BellTower, for example, is printed on
paper that includes a significant portion of recycled
papers, using vegetable-based inks that come from a
renewable source, which are less toxic and are in turn
easier to recycle.
All OES classrooms and offices also have special
boxes for waste paper—colored, white and computer.
Students regularly prepare the School’s waste paper
for recycling as a joint effort of Middle and Upper
School science and community service. And other
ideas for prudent consumption in the future are
being discussed and examined as a part of the
School’s OES/21 implementation work, including
electronic mail.

A year abroad—
A time for growth and change
!
■Mach year, Rotary International selects high school students from around the world to spend a year
abroad. Last year, three OES Upper School students were selected to represent Vancouver and
■M Portland—Weylin Bibb-Barrett, Meraiah Foley and Erika Hagensen. Reasons for pursuing a Rotary
Exchange vary, and each student returns home with many different memories and insights of culture,
!
curriculum and experiences. Weylin and Erika spent the year in Japan, while Meraiah traveled to Chile.

“It (Japan) isn’t a
place to go if you
don’t want to
change. Our
cultures are so
different. My
American family is
very affectionate,
and I was used to
a lot of physical
affection. That just
isn’t the Japanese
way. But they give
hugs in a different
way. You have to
team to under
stand their ways. ”
Erika Hagensen
Erika, an OES
senior, grew up with a
passion for Japan.
Her grandfather was
a pilot for Japan
Airline (JAL). Her fam
ily hosted a Japanese
exchange student,
Tamami Nakamura,
whom Erika
described as “the sis
ter in my heart”. And
her parents had developed their
own love of Japan. “I had learned
so much about Japan from my
family, but what I knew was all sec
ond hand. I wanted to create my
own experiences.”
Though Rotary never guarantees
first choice, Erika was lucky. She
went to live in lyo, a small town on
the island of Shikoku, an area of
rice fields, rivers and mountains.
Through the Rotary exchange,
Erika attended an all girl’s Christian
school in Matsuyama—45 minutes
by train from lyo. Though students
were required to wear uniforms,
the structure was somewhat
relaxed compared to other schools
in Japan. “The school required us
to produce good work, but it was
more fun than comparable
schools. Parents paid more so
their kids could have more free
time." Erika’s schedule in Japan
would exhaust many American stu
dents. She and her classmates
attended school from 8:30-4:30,
Monday-Friday, and half days on
Saturday. Her coursework included
four Japanese classes, Kanji
(Chinese characters), ikebana
(flower arrangement), Japanese
calligraphy, tea ceremony,
Japanese Koto (harp), traditional
dance, Japanese history and
Christian religion.
Each Friday evening, however,
the student became the teacher,
when Erika taught an English class
to members of the Rotary club. "I
practiced my Japanese, and they
spoke in English. They really
enjoyed tongue twisters.”
Erika lived in the country, rather
than in Matsuyama, where the
other exchange students lived.
“There was a true sense of cama
raderie in the country. I was lucky
because I was able to become
friends with the members. I used to
joke with my club that I was ‘the
luckiest exchange student’.” In
fact, Erika was so popular with her
Rotary Club that she was made the
first female member.
At the request of the police chief,
Erika also taught English to the
police department. “I was younger,
female, and a foreigner—lower in
every way, but they did what I told
them,” Erika recalls with a smile,
because, in Japan, teachers are
greatly respected.
Though Erika spent a great deal
of her time in school, her most
memorable moments were spent
outside the classroom. While in
Japan, she saw more of the coun
try than many native Japanese.
Highlights included a visit to Tokyo
where she was introduced to sumo
wrestlers, Okinawa—the Japanese
equivalent of Hawaii—and Hiro
shima and Nagasaki, where she
"wept many tears”. During a 6-day
visit in Kyoto with Tamami
Nakamura, Erika’s “Japanese sis
ter”, the young women paid a visit
to the city of Nara, where a tower
ing statue of Buddha sits in the
temple of Todaiji. “A standing man
is one third the size of Buddha's
pinky finger,” Erika explained in an
effort to communicate the immen
sity of this statue.

After spending a full year in
Japan, Erika said, “In my heart, I’m
90% Japanese. I totally love Japan
and know I’m going to get back
there.” And those she left behind in
Japan hope this is true. Erika built
such a bond within her community
that well over 60 people came to
the airport when she left, an
unprecedented event in a country
whose culture values reticence. "I
had been told that some people
would come to the airport to see
me off, and I should be prepared
because they would probably bring
some token, but I was not pre
pared for so many people. By the
time I got on the plane, I had three
bags full of letters, presents and
pictures.” The three families Erika
had lived with during her stay
joined together to buy her a locket.
When they teased her about
whose picture she would place in
the locket, she told them, "I’ll place
my memories in this locket. It will
be filled with memories.”
Erika also spent the Summer
Olympics next to the television
rooting for Japanese teams. “I was
ecstatic when the Japanese team
beat America by a technical mis
take. My host parents laughed and
asked who I would root for in four
years. I smiled and said, Maybe
it’s safer if I root for both.”’
Since she was a child, Erika has
planned a career in physical thera
py and recently refined her aspira
tions. “My long range dream is to
teach physical therapy in Japan."
She talked with a few doctors in
Japan. "It was their opinion that
Japan has resources but lacks
experience in the field of physical
therapy.” She explained that their
public transportation is very limit
ing. “With the stairs, there is no
accessibility. And these same peo
ple are unable to ride bikes. If you
can’t be independent, it is very dif
ficult to be accepted in society.
�“I would like to help fill the void
and reinforce the idea that being
handicapped is not a physical
attribute; it is a learned way of
thinking.” Erika hopes that, by
doing this, she can return a little
something of herself to a country
that has brought her many riches—
family, memories and a new vision
of the future.
Meraiah Foley
A year in Chile gave OES senior
Meraiah Foley unexpected oppor
tunities. "I had to grow up all over
again...learn a new language, how
to be polite, how to stand on my
own two feet, to become one of
them.”
For Meraiah, one of the high
points of her stay was being mis
taken for a Chilean. “I admire them
so much for their ability to have
fun, to be open and to be physical
ly affectionate. To be mistaken for
one of them was so wonderful. It
means you’ve learned their culture.
It’s the greatest feeling."
Meraiah began the school year
in Rancagua, a city of 100,000,
located about 60 miles outside
Santiago. There, she attended a
private, coed school which the stu
dents had nick-named The School
of Those Who'd Been Exiled. “This
school was crazy. Most of the kids
had been kicked out of one or
more schools, and they had been
sent there as a last resort."
Eventually, Meraiah’s monkey
impression, combined with her
decision to walk out of class one
day—due to boredom—won her
the acceptance of her classmates.
With such a school, it’s not surpris
ing that her first impression of
Chilean teens was that they were
somewhat childish. “To use the
term ‘immature’ is too critical.
Perhaps one reason childhood is
prolonged stems from the serious
social, economic, political and
environmental issues the Chileans
face. Pollution (Santiago is the 4th
most polluted city in the world),
while a major issue for the world, is
not something they are able to
address at this time. “I grew to love
both the good and the bad,”
Meraiah said. “They are crummy
environmentally, but I understand
there are reasons for that. They’re
so poor; they have no choices." In
fact, with the strongest economy
of South American countries, Chile
is used as an example by develop
ing countries.
Though they are economically
disadvantaged, Meraiah feels there
is much we could learn from the
Chileans. "Here,” she said, refer
ring to the United States, “people
determine success by good
money—a good salary, a good
house . . . but in Chile, they know
they can’t get these things, so they
don’t worry.” They emphasize fam
ily and friendship. “They see our
[economic priorities] as the reason
we grow up so fast. We may be an
economic superpower, but our
family structure is falling apart."
Meraiah fears the influence
Western society is having on South
American societies. She pointed to
the media and explained that the
Chileans don’t have the money to
produce movies and television
shows themselves. “If Chile were
more financially stable, they
wouldn’t see us as having every
thing and think they have to be just
like us to get ahead.”
With great regret, Meraiah
acknowledged another difference.
"One of the things that makes me
most sad is the fact that I will never
be able to live in Chile. To get
ahead there, you HAVE to step on
people. Most of the Americans
with money down there are setting
up factories that exploit the peo
ple. It’s just gross! Here I don’t
have to do that."
Meraiah would have preferred to
remain in Rancagua, but “a very
special family" was awaiting her
arrival in Santiago. The year
before, Meraiah’s family had wel
comed Monica Galvez into their
home, and for the second half of
her stay, Meraiah lived with
Monica’s family in Santiago. During
that time, she attended a disci
plined, Catholic school for girls.
"Since I’d spent the first half of the
year learning conversational
Spanish in a less rigorous school, I
really [was able to apply] myself. It
was the perfect time."
Meraiah is amazed at the mis
conceptions that persist. "Chilean
cities are very European—in archi
tecture, transportation, even the
way the people act and dress,” she
explained, though she sadly noted
that they are “poorer and smaller”.
The home of her second family, for
example, though quite nice by
Chilean standards, “would have fit
on the first floor of my home here
in the United States."
Meraiah also pointed out, “They
are much more mod
ern than we think.”
She likens Chileans to
Americans during the
60s. "Women are
beginning to realize
that they have rights,
and the people are
finally beginning to
acknowledge that
they have problems
with racism.
"They can be very
ciassist,” she said,
“but they don’t do it to be mean.
Here we work so hard to appear
PC (politically correct), but we
aren’t always. Look at the LA riots.
We have problems too. The
Chileans are just more honest
about it.”
Though she misses her Chilean
families and friends, Meraiah said,
“I learned more about being an
American by going away. It’s the
best thing that you can do for your
country. I was never really a patriot
before I left. Living in the United
States, I know that by working
hard, nothing is closed to me. It’s
not the same in Chile. There, com
ing from a lower socio-economic
status, I wouldn’t have the same
opportunities.”
Despite her belief that being an
exchange student is “twenty times
more intense than going away to
college”, Meraiah loved her year in
Chile.

The OES
Heritage
Society
The Development Committee of
the OES Board of Trustees has
formed a planned giving commit
tee to assist the School’s donor
community in making planned gifts
to the School.
Many donors see this kind of giv
ing as an extraordinary opportunity
to save, because such gifts are
exempt from federal estate taxes
and generally not subject to state
inheritance or estate taxes. The
savings that can occur with capital
gains in giving appreciated assets
adds to this attractiveness.
A bequest to OES can be made
by creating a new will, adding a
codicil to a present will, or includ
ing the School in a revocable trust.
OES also has its own pooled
income fund.
In addition to the thirty friends of
the School who have made public
their intent to donate in this man
ner to the School, countless others
have chosen to keep that matter
confidential. OES expresses its
gratitude to Elizabeth Reeves ‘32 &
‘35 JC, who recently added OES to
her Charitable Remainder Annuity
Trust. The gift is received in the
name of her sister, Margaret
Reeves Yick ‘30 & ‘33 JC as well.
You are encouraged to consult with
your legal/financial professional
advisors. For more information on
planned giving opportunities
please write or call: Robert A.
Chumbook, Assistant Headmaster
for Development, (503) 246-7771.
Ideas for planned giving to OES
Gifts of Appreciated Assets
Question: I have some stocks that have greatly grown in value since I
purchased them. For example, I have some Wal-Mart stock I bought for
$20,000 that is now worth $100,000, but it is only paying $400 per year in
dividends. Is there any way I can donate this stock to help OES while
gaining some tax savings?
Answer: Yes. By donating appreciated stock to OES, you gain a charita
ble tax deduction for the full market value of the gift and avoid paying any
capital gains tax.
For example, to win twice with your Wal-Mart stock:
•
•
•
•
•
donate $100,000 of stock to OES
save federal income tax of up to $31,000
save federal capital gains tax of up to $22,400
save state taxes, amount varies by state
net real cost of gifts is under $50,000
Question: But if I need the income from my stocks to live on?
Answer: Establish a charitable remainder trust. Her’s how it works, using
your Wal-Mart stock:
•
•
•
•
establish trust and place your Wal-Mart shares in it
trust sells Wal-Mart stock, re-invests in higher yield securities
trust pays you a 7% return for the rest of your life
upon your death, the trust assets go to OES
The benefits to you include:
•
•
•
•
•
annual return increases from under 1 % to 7%
federal income tax savings exceed $9,000
federal capital gains tax savings up to $22,400
state tax savings (varies by state)
elimination of federal and state estate taxes
Question: How about my spouse? Can she/he continue to get income
from the trust if I die first?
Answer: Yes. Simply arrange the trust to pay income for the rest of both
your lives.
Question: Can I make this gift and not diminish my children’s inheritance?
Answer: Yes. Simply use a portion of the increased cash flow gained
through the use of a trust to purchase $100,000 of life insurance. Your
children receive all $100,000 of the inheritance, not the small portion left
after federal and state capital gains and estate taxes are paid.
Question: Is there any other way to make a tax-wise gift of my stock?
Answer: Yes. By donating your stock through a bequest in your will, you
avoid capital gains and estate taxes.

�Portland school head says independent, public
schools must work together
A compelling speech by John E.
Bierwirth, E.Ed., the Portland
Public School District’s new super
intendent, highlighted the recent
OES Founders’ Day Luncheon on
Wednesday, November 18, at the
Multnomah Athletic Club.
Dr. Bierwirth, who spoke on “how
independent and public schools
work together for the good of edu
cation", recalled his own experi
ences—as a graduate of the inde
pendent school system. He joked,
referring to the faculty in the audi
ence, that he and his classmates
had “made a large number of peo
ple like you retire".
Since graduating from the
University of Massachusetts in
1973 with a doctorate of educa
tion, Dr. Bierwirth has committed
his life to serving public schools,
interweaving his experience of
both public and independent
schools throughout his career.
Continuing this tradition, Dr.
Bierwirth recently met with OES
Headmaster Peter Stevens and
Catlin Gabel Headmaster Jim Scott
to discuss Summerbridge, a pro
posed venture between public and
independent schools in Portland.
Summerbridge programs, which
are already flourishing in several
other cities nationwide, employ an
intense academic summer school
and follow-up, designed to help
middle school students who show
promise but need help in attaining
their full potential.
Stressing the importance of build
ing bridges, Dr. Bierwirth said, “We
are presently facing a fiscal crisis
(in the public schools).
Summerbridge will do for us what
we cannot do for ourselves. We
need to keep talking—building
other bridges to share more and
more ideas.
“Public schools need to borrow
pedagogy from independent
schools such as OES and Catlin
Gabel. The public schools can then
work with it, improve it, and hope
fully the independent schools can
then borrow it back."
Though committed to the Katz plan,
which he feels will challenge
schools and provide one of the
most ambitious state-wide plans in
the nation, Dr. Bierwirth’s frustra
tions in dealing with the limitations
of Measure 5 are apparent. He con
tinues to work with the Oregon
Legislature to see what can be
done to improve the situation. “Now
there are winners and losers—other
districts are winners at the expense
of the Portland Public Schools. I
can make this the most efficient
school district in the state, but in
shrinking the size of the budget, I
cannot make it world class.”
"It was a real achievement to have
the superintendent of the Portland
Schools as the speaker. It is inter
esting that with a background of
all independent schools he has
now taken up the public schools
as his major activity—what a
blessing that will be to Portland. ”
— Ruth Jenkins ‘20
1992 recipient of the
Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris
Distinguished Alumni Award
Even though he is visibly frustrated
by the constraints placed on his
district by Measure 5, Dr. Bierwirth
has reasons for remaining opti
mistic. "Portland is a wonderful
city, capable of showing the United
States what can be done.
“I’m embarrassed as an American
and as an educator that Portland is
the only major metropolitan area
where I felt comfortable enrolling
my kids in the public school sys
tem.” During his previous position,
Dr. Bierwirth’s children attended
independent schools.
In bringing an independent school
background to the public school
system, Bierwirth hopes to create
a balance. “We need to interact for
the benefit of both, creating a thriv
ing, prosperous and healthy sys
tem that benefits both private and
public schools. We need to provide
options—challenge each other."

Rather than a centrally controlled
school system, Dr. Bierwirth would
like to see authority revert to indi
vidual schools. “With site-based
management we may begin to look
like a collection of independent
schools rather than one monolithic
public school system,” he explains.
But this is just one method of cre
ating choices for schools, parents
and students. Frustrated by what
students learn or do not learn, Dr.
Bierwirth looks forward to the
implementation of the Katz plan,
which will offer public school
students the choice between a
Certificate of Initial Mastery (CIM)
and a Certificate of Advanced
Mastery (CAM) program. The CIM
will allow students who are not col
lege bound to begin preparation
for a career in their junior year of
high school, while allowing stu
dents who plan to pursue higher
education the opportunity to earn
a CAM. Dr. Bierwirth believes that
options such as these will have
great impact on “what is taught
and how it is taught".
▲ John E.
Bierwirth, E.Ed.
Dr. Bierwirth believes the imple
mentation of the CIM/CAM pro
gram will have a ripple back effect
through junior high to the elemen
tary levels, requiring changes in
both curriculum and teaching
methods. “Kids today need to
know more than I know. I've trav
eled a fair amount, and one thing
remains the same throughout the
world. The difference between
those who have skills and those
who don’t is that those who don’t
have the skills must stay where
they are, while those who have the
skills can take those skills any
where in the world.
"We need to create the best schools
in the United States, and beyond
that, the best in the world," said Dr.
Bierwirth. Though creating the best
school system may be the greatest
challenge our country has faced, Dr.
Bierwirth says, “The best way to get
there is by getting people together—
parents, students, the community,
thrashing out differences, challeng
ing each other, working together."

Ruth Jenkins ‘20
Celebrated educator
remembers her days at The Hall
Ruth Jenkins wore a triple strand
of pearls—a gift from the Bishop
and Mrs. Sumner for her gradua
tion from St. Helens Hall in 1920—
when she accepted the Bishop
Benjamin Wistar Morris
Distinguished Alumni Award at the
annual Founders’ Day Luncheon.
Miss Jenkins had travelled from
her home in La Jolla, California to
attend the celebration which was
held Wednesday, November 18, at
the Multnomah Athletic Club.
A former Headmistress at both
The Annie Wright School in
Tacoma, Washington, and The
Bishop’s School in San Diego,
California, Miss Jenkins has
committed her life to the
field of education. After
sharing a number of amus
ing anecdotes during her
brief, entertaining accep
tance speech, she
expressed her gratitude
to the Sisters, who
admitted Ruth and her
sister, Marian, despite
the fact the Sisters were
contending with a flu
epidemic at the time. “A
lot of TLC prepared us
for whatever successes
my sister Marian and I have
had.”
THE JENKINS FAMILY
The second youngest of 13
children, Ruth Jenkins’ father,
Thomas Jenkins, was born in
England and received only four
years of formal schooling. At 16,
he ran away to join the British
Army, believing this to be his only
opportunity for an education. Once
there, however, he soon discov
ered that he would have no educa
tional opportunities in the army, so
his mother “bought him out”. He
then worked and saved to earn the
passage necessary to come to the
United States.
After arriving in America, Thomas
Jenkins found a job in the
Cleveland brick yards and attended
school at night. After earning his
undergraduate degree from Kenyon
College, he went on to Becksly
Hall, where he studied for the min
istry. Though he wrote his thesis for
his bachelor’s degree at Kenyon, he
did not actually receive his degree
because he lacked the funds to
cover the fees for commencement.
Years later, at the centennial of the
school, The Rev. Jenkins was
awarded an honorary Doctorate of
Divinity. "We always told him it
couldn’t very well be a bachelor’s
degree with seven children.”

Following his graduation from
Becksly Hall, he was sent to the
City Mission in Cincinnati. Little
were the five young clergymen
assembled at this mission to know
that four of them would go on to
distinguish themselves as
Episcopalian Bishops, while the
fifth gained national recognition for
his work in civil rights.
Thomas Jenkins also met his
future wife at the City Mission.
Both Rev. Jenkins and his bride
were committed to missionary
work; Mrs. Jenkins wanted to go to
Liberia, while Rev. Jenkins want
ed to go to Alaska. Ruth Jenkins
smiled as she recalled their
k

as they always did and went
to Alaska.”

When Ruth’s family came out of
Alaska, they returned to Ohio. After
a few years in Ohio, Rev. Jenkins
was asked to go to Oregon to take
over St. David, the largest parish in
Portland.
Back then, moving was especial
ly difficult since household items
usually did not arrive until long
after the family. The Jenkins, then,
were thrilled when they discovered
that the Sisters of St. John Baptist
had generously provided furnish

When her hard work paid off in
the creation of a school with high

Although she was denied a seat

When Ruth left Annie Wright, a

She began by telling them that
her first teaching job had been with

want to do what you want to do,
and your parents want you to do
what they want to do. They don’t
understand you. But you will sur

She reflected back on her own
memories as a student at St.
Helens Hall. “We were certain our
teachers were ancient—especially
Miss Guppy. She taught Ancient
History, and we were certain she
must have lived in ancient times.”
Now, a bit older and wiser her
self, Miss Jenkins shared personal
observations about aging. "When I
was younger, I promised myself
that when I retired, I would get up
when I felt like it. Now I find that
I’m too busy to lie in bed. I still
have to get up when I don’t feel

Oregon Episcopal School.
According to The Rev. Chandler Jackson, diocesan archivist. Bishop
Morris founded a number of schools.
The Bishop arrived in Portland on June 2, 1869, accompanied by his
large and extended family, which included wife Hannah Rodney Morris,
sister Rachel Wells Morris, his wife’s three sisters—Mary, Lydia and
Clementina Rodney and four children, along with nurses and housekeep
ers. He and the Rodney sisters immediately began St. Helens Hall, opening
the school for daughters of pioneers and settlers on September 14, 1869.
Mary Rodney was headmistress.
Writing in The Oregon Episcopal Church News, Rev. Jackson states that
Bishop Morris also founded Bishop Scott Grammar School for boys in
1870, St. Paul’s School for girls in Walla Walla, Washington in 1872,
Ascension School for girls in Cove, Oregon in 1884 and a Portland school
for Chinese men and boys in 1871. The Bishop’s work in the community
also led to the opening of Good Samaritan Hospital in 1875.
“Ruth Jenkins' distinguished career in education puts her in grand com

Happy New Year to everyone! As
we begin a new year, it is always a
pleasure to stop for a moment and
reflect on the success of the year
past. In 1992, we saw more alums
become involved with OES through
a variety of events and programs:
Class Agents, Alumni Soccer
Tournament, After Hours at the
Bridgeport, Alumni Night at the
Theater, Young Alumni Day,
reunions—the list goes on. Thank
you to all the volunteers who helped
to make these programs happen!
Founders’ Day 1992 attracted a
distinguished and diverse crowd of
headmasters, trustees, parents,
faculty and alumni who came
together at the Multnomah Athletic
Club to celebrate our 123 years on
November 18. Our featured speak
er, John Bierwirth, Superintendent
of Portland Public Schools, spoke
on the relationship between private
and public schools. Headmaster
Peter Stevens, gave an overview of
life at OES and the Upper School
Ensemble performed wonderful
pre-holiday pieces. Muriel Gabriel
Heltzel ‘30, the 1991 Distinguished
Alumni Award recipient, introduced
and presented Ruth Jenkins ‘20
with the 1992 Distinguished Alumni
Award. On November 19th, Ruth
spent a day visiting the OES cam
pus, classrooms and students.
This winter and spring, we will
hold events for alumni and friends
in San Francisco, New York and
Seattle. If you live in any of these
cities, or close by, please make an
effort to attend these functions—
you may see a classmate or old
friend! Please call the Alumni Office
for more information.
Planning for Reunion ‘93 is
under way! If your class year ends
in a 3 or 8, it’s a reunion year for
you. Each class will want to cele
brate in their own way, as well as
visit the campus. The Alumni Office
will assist you in planning, mailing
and organizing your reunion.
In closing, I am always interest
ed in hearing from you. Please
remember your comments and
ideas are important to me. We are
here to serve you, the alumni
community.

�OES, Catlin join to offer proposed summer program
Oregon Episcopal School and Catlin Gabel School have joined efforts to offer a pro
gram that prepares Portland middle school students for the demands of rigorous high
schools and colleges. This summer, pending necessary funding and final approval,
Summerbridge Portland will serve approximately 40 diverse, high-potential seventh
grade students from schools around the city.
Newsweek Magazine said the program was “designed to get the younger kids into
learning and the older kids into teaching”. Using talented high school and college stu
dents as teachers and role models, Summerbridge provides academically stimulating
summer sessions which emphasize reading, writing, mathematics and study skills.
The program also stresses leadership, heightened self-esteem and creativity. Schoolyear tutoring, counseling and enrichment ensure continuing support.
Summerbridge students, who will represent the economic and ethnic diversity of
Portland, will be recruited through classroom presentations. There is no tuition.
Since 1978, when the original Summerbridge was established at San Francisco
University High School, twelve other programs have begun across the country. In
1991, The Summerbridge National Project was established to give support and guid
ance to the programs. The Portland project, co-directed by Ed Liu of OES and Oye
Carr of Catlin, hopes to join more than six new programs beginning in the summer of
1993.

I think, too, of leaders these pages
have featured before: Ruth Jenkins
*20 who went on to lead the way
for the education of young people
in Episcopal-related schools on the
West Coast.
A Letter from
the Headmaster
Dear Friends,
The story of Oregon Episcopal
School, of St. Helens Hall and
Bishop Dagwell Hall, is one of
inspired leadership by so many,
many women and men. This
issue of the BellTower carries
more vignettes to you, touch
stones in this almost-125-year
story, this continuum of extraordi
nary education.
People, of course, make up the
stories of this school: Bishop
Morris who founded the Hall over a
century ago. The Rodney sisters,
who carried on the work of The
Hall, along with Gertrude Fariss,
along with the story of The Rev.
David Leech, so eloquently por
trayed in this issue by Sally James
*73 in her wonderful 20-year-old
“th.ank-you letter”. Harvey Zendt,
dynamic Lower School Head,
venturing off to Australia to test the
waters for a Pacific Rim exchange
with an Anglican school there.
Commander Elizabeth Reeves *32
SHH & *35 JC, who led the way in
astronaut training for the United
States Navy. And this BellTower
carries a note about Trustee Paul
Schlesinger *70, who makes time
in his own professional and family
life to bring so much character,
strength and leadership to our
Board of Trustees with his service
on the Executive Committee.
You will read here, too, of
Summerbridge, a fascinating new
program that brings middle school
youth of Portland to our campus
under the leadership of Edward
Liu, a 1992 graduate of Yale
University, and his counterpart at
The Catlin Gabel School, Oye Carr.
Youthful leadership here has given
us new zest, purpose and direc
tion. Together Ed and his co-director have raised over $200,000,
selected 35 Portland-area fifth
graders from an applicant pool well
over twice that and chosen the
most promising student-teachers
from across the nation.
This wonderful school community
gives birth to, rears, supports, nur
tures and challenges leaders. And
such it should be. I hope in these
pages in the future you’ll meet
people and characters like Jeff
Marsh, who manages our allimportant food service; like Diana
Chenoweth, who leads probably
the most exciting after-school pro
gram in the country; like Rich
Sherwood, who has pioneered the
teaching of Japanese in our Upper
School and will lead a student trip
to Japan this summer; like firstyear teacher Moneeka Settles,
who directed our ten-week ski
team this winter; like Rosa
Hemphill, who leads every day in
her Chemistry lab/classrooms; like
David Streight, one of the few
ancient-language Proven^ale spe
cialists in the world; like Matt

This June, Upper School Head Ed
Rubovits will retire after a decade
at OES. Ed follows, of course, in
the rich SHH-BDH-OES tradition of
leadership. He has led before and
he will, no doubt, in years after
OES, continue to lead without fan
fare, and show grace, style, poise,
character, service and love.
And, you know, at the heart of the
leadership fostered by this remark
able School are service and love.
At Oregon Episcopal School today,
these are not anachronistic con
cepts. This is OES.
Most sincerely,

�Funding launches
Summerbridge Portland for 1993
Oregon Episcopal School and
Catlin Gabel School have joined
efforts to offer a program that pre
pares Portland middle school stu
dents for the demands of rigorous
high schools and colleges that will
begin in June 1993. This year
Summerbridge Portland will serve
approximately 40 diverse, highpotential seventh grade students
from schools around the city. The
Portland project is co-directed by
Ed Liu of OES and Oye Carr of
Catlin.
Encouraged by the success of the
12 Summerbridge programs
nationwide, The InterPacific Group
of San Francisco has pledged to
support the Portland project over
its first three years with a donation
of $25,000 per year. Locally, The
Meyer Memorial Trust granted
Summerbridge Portland $160,000
over the next three years. Add
itional funding has come from
First Interstate Bank, Nike, Viking
Industries, the Wheeler Foundation
and individual donors.
t
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 Gne 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.

Summerbridge students, who rep
resent the economic and ethnic
diversity of Portland, have been
recruited through classroom pre
sentations given by Ed and Oye.
There is no tuition.
Since 1978, when the original
Summerbridge was established at
San Francisco University High
School, twelve other programs
have begun across the country,
with six new programs planned
for this summer. In 1991, The
Summerbridge National Project
was established to give support
and guidance to the individual
programs.
Newsweek Magazine said the pro
gram was “designed to get the
younger kids into learning and the
older kids into teaching”. Using tal
ented high school and college stu
dents as teachers and role models,
Summerbridge provides academi
cally stimulating summer sessions
which emphasize reading, writing,
mathematics and study skills. The
program also stresses leadership,
heightened self-esteem and cre
ativity. School-year tutoring, coun
seling and enrichment ensure con
tinuing support.

�Lower School goes
The Lower School Global Studies Focus turned its attention
“down under” this year with a study of Australia. For the
Focus, Program Coordinator (and LS Art Teacher) Shelley
Stoffer organized a fantastic series of visits, activities and
information sessions to build excitement and help students
learn about the fascinating history and culture of the
Australian continent.
The Australia Focus kicked off with a presentation where LS
teachers dressed up to represent a different aspect of our
Southern Pacific Rim neighbor. Highlights included 2nd Grade
Teacher Eileen Preston dressed as a kookaburra singing (you
guessed it) the Kookaburra Song, 3rd grade teacher Kathy
Gross as a regal embodiment of the Sydney Opera House and
LS Librarian Patty Walhood who came as Vegimite, the
Australian equivalent of our American standby—peanut butter.
▲ lb is one 's real—Sissy Koo,
a Bennet wallaby, delighted
everyone with her visit.
The first guest speaker was Steve Einhorn, who brought a
didgeridoo—an aboriginal musical instrument. A few lucky
students had a chance to play the didgeridoo, and after the
January 12 presentation, some classes constructed their own
didgeridoos, which they played happily for parents at the
Lower School Open House.

“Down Under

standards], attentive and to ask good questions. Even the lit

While students enjoyed all aspects of the Global Studies
Focus, the two most popular visitors were Sissy Roo and
Lynn Hilbert. Sissy Roo—a Bennett wallaby who has gained
fame starring in local television ads—delighted children and
adults alike as she hopped around the OES Gymnasium.
During her visit, students literally held their breaths to keep
quiet and not startle the young marsupial, proving they can,
indeed, be amazingly quiet.
Though Lynn Hilbert, the final visitor for the Australia Focus,
could not come until March, it was well worth the wait. After
demonstrating how to card, spin and dye wool, Lynn Hilbert
brought out his special “companions”—baby lambs and
goats—who universally enchanted students and teachers.
Next year during the Global Studies Focus, students will
explore China.

�Lower School Head explores exchange
possibilities in Australia
As an outgrowth of this year’s Global Studies Focus on Australia, the Lower School is plan
ning to set up a variety of exchanges with St. Paul’s School near Melbourne. “Supported
and encouraged by the Anglican Church in Australia”, St. Paul’s was founded in 1856 and is
similar to OES in size and scope. In March Lower School Head Harvey Zendt flew to
Australia to explore possible future interactions with St. Paul’s. He also visited a variety of
schools and took time to catch some surf. According to Harvey, who kept a brief journal on
his trip “down under”, there are no definitive plans yet, but there are a number of exciting
possibilities.
Excerpts from Harvey Zendt’s Australian journal:
▲ Peter Wilson and me
▲ The Minimbah Pool
▲ I tried
a little teaching

Sometimes life works. So far this trip has fallen into place as things rarely do. It’s 530
am and lam watching a brilliant pink pre-dawn sky over the strait, listening to the activity
of the magpies and crickets with occasional reminders from the sheep and cows. .After an
incredibly long flight, my Aussie experience began with a quick trip through customs
(always say you have something to declare) and a friendly greeting from Peter Wilson from
St. Paul’s.
Peter Wilson’s school Minimbah (“a place of learning in Aborigine”) is a cozy, alive
campus for 200 children, ages 4-11, located on the outskirts of Frankston, a smalt city of
20,000 on the Mornington Peninsula...
I am struck by the openness ofMinimbah... the mild weather allows for a more commu
nalfeeling. It doesn’t quite have the facilities we do in some areas, but in others it is better—
art studios, swimming pool, compact campus.
There is no real financial aid program... but they receive tremendous support from the
state—1-3 thousand per child, so their needfor development is less...
The classrooms are ALIVE-—walls covered, animals, etc...
We drove out to the peninsula to Peter’s 300-acre cattle and sheep farm...
I borroived a “Trigger Bros. ” board from a shop and bad a good go [at surfing]. ..so nice
to be in warm water again... between surfsessions, saw a country school—not wellfunded
but cheerful...
Talked shop at dinner with Peter’s two assistants...

Upper School to spend a week in

Education for backpacking in the
Utah Canyonlands, an US English
teacher takes students mountain
biking around the Portland area
and the ESL director shares quilt

Each year, Upper School students,
faculty and staff take a week to
explore opportunities for learning
which are not offered in the regular
academic program. While fresh
men and sophomores travel the
world, take cooking or unlock the
mysteries of stained glass artistry,
seniors explore career options
through Discovery, an experiential
apprenticeship program which is
required for graduation.
The hands-on learning experiences
inherent in Discovery offer unique
opportunities to develop skills and
attitudes which aid in the identifi
cation of realistic career choices.
Discovery also helps bridge the

gap between School and profes
sional life—allowing students a
first-hand glimpse at careers they
may only have read about in the
past. Students are responsible for
identifying an organization, busi
ness or non-profit agency they
would like to work with and then
designing their own project. Elena
Jakubiak, for example, is very
interested in theatre, so she spent
a week working with Tygre’s Heart,
a Portland-based Shakespearean
theatre group.
For Juniors, Winterim is used
for College Decisions—a pro
gram designed to introduce
and/or familiarize juniors with
the college search and appli
cation process. An important
part of the OES curriculum for
more than 10 years, College
Decisions acquaints juniors
with resource materials, tech
niques and the college visita
tion and interviewing process.
J
▲ Ed Rnbouitz and Kay Washington work
together at the Winterim bike clinic.
Since College Decisions is a
half-day course, juniors also
participate in other half-day
classes offered during
Winterim. Like many students
who prefer to remain in
Portland during Winterim,
juniors had a variety of selec
7
tions from which to choose: Middle
Eastern cooking, beginning sailing,
woodworking and how to make
research data dazzling, to name
just a few.
In addition to the 15 half-day and
full-day courses offered on cam
pus, eight different trips introduced
students to a variety of areas in the
world beyond OES.
The enthusiasm of both student
and adult Winterim participants is
contagious. After returning from an
archaeological site in Arizona
where students were kept busy
digging for artifacts and branding
cattle, Rich Sherwood, who teach
es Japanese and coaches the Girls
Varsity Basketball Team, said “I’m
sure it was the greatest Winterim
ever. The trip was great; the kids
were great. It was just fantastic."
Though others might hold that their
experiences were “the greatest",
there is little doubt that Winterim
‘93 succeeded in giving students
and teachers the opportunity to
explore learning in enjoyable new
contexts, as well as broadening
perspectives and horizons.

Upper School science students explore current
events through mock hearings
“We’re talking stewardship not domain.”
“Jobs are more important than some stupid bird or fish.”
“If we only worry about the human species, and nothing else, we’ll all die.”
Students continued to hotly
debate the question “Should the
Endangered Species Act be
changed?” as they filed out of
the Mock Public Hearing, held
annually as part of John
LeCavalier’s 9th grade biology
class. The passions of Upper
School students who had been
part of the audience at the public
hearing on Tuesday, February 2,
had obviously been fired.
The February hearing opened with
an introduction by the mock con
gressional committee, charged
with final responsibility for deter
mining whether or not the law
should be changed, and if it
should be changed, what those
changes should be. The commit
tee explained the agenda for the
mock hearing and advised partici
pants to keep in mind that this
was not a forum for debate.
Such reaction doesn’t surprise
John, who requires his students to
research issues at the fore of the
public conscious each year. John
selected the Endangered Species
Act (ESA) because it will go to
congressional committee this year
for reauthorization. “We’ve done
the spotted owl and the salmon in
past years. The ESA is a real issue
this year; it’s pretty timely.”
Due to the depth of the legal
issues involved in the ESA, the
first group to present was
charged with explaining the legal
aspects of the issue—information
they felt was essential to discus
sion of the ESA.
The “public hearing” is the culmi
nation of weeks of research on the
part of students. After John
selects the topic, students work
together, brainstorming to create a
list of potential special interest
groups who they think might be
in this case,
involved in the issu<
groups included the Sierra Club,
Bonneville Power Administration,
Native American Tribes, National
Marine Fisheries Service and
Weyerhauser. As representatives
of these organizations, small
groups of students gather informa
tion to support their positions.
Since information on some of the
organizations was limited, stu
dents personally contacted many
of the selected special interest
groups for additional facts. After
completing the research phase,
the small groups prepared brief,
two-minute presentations for the
mock public hearing.
Presentations by the special
interest groups went smoothly
until a group of irate loggers,
(represented by fellow students
in stereotypical buffalo plaid) inter
rupted the hearing during the
Sierra Club’s presentation. Sierra
Club presenters quickly recovered,
and the hearing continued.
After the students had concluded
their presentations, the “public”
was invited to speak. Opinions ran
the full gamut. Though John
expects his students to make a
decision based purely on biologi
cal, as opposed to environmental,
data, ninth grader Kay Washington
observed, “This is a multi-faceted
issue involving more that just
those who are for it and those who
are against it.”

In addition to increasing students’
awareness of career opportunities
and familiarity with the environ
mental and economic issues sur
rounding controversial issues like
the Endangered Species Act,
this unit provides “a chance to
organize thoughts and speak in
front of a large group. Since
they’ve learned about energy flow
and bio-diversity, I want them to
pursue this issue from a biological
rather than an environmental
view,” explains John.
"From the biological perspective, it
is imperative that students use
hard scientific data to support
their positions, particularly on
issues like the Endangered
Species Act, since special interest
groups often gain influence based
on economic or emotional
appeals. People often confuse the
two arguments—biological versus
environmental, or scientific as
opposed to special interest argu
ments. If you believe in science,
however, you have to believe the
ecologists (who are scientists and
are not to be confused with envi
ronmentalists). In many cases,
whether we like it or not, the facts
are there; I know this as a biolo
gist. Economic issues, however,
often persuade people that the
scientists aren’t legitimate.”
One of the most insightful obser
vations came from Junior Mikael
Sterner, who is from Sweden.
Mikael, who had been part of the
legal group said, “It seems that
this is becoming an issue of the
Environmentalists vs. Industry,
but life is not black and white.
People need to recognize there
are grey areas. Since we can’t do
everything right, it’s time to focus
on compromise.”
�Middle School science students
hold Mock Forest Summits
When President Bill
Clinton decided to hold
_
his Forest Summit in
' *-1 ’ Portland, he might
X
have been surprised to discover
his was not the only Forest
Summit in town.
Thanks to the quick thinking of
Middle School Science teachers
Joan Schaller and Tye Steinbach,
OES students held their own
Forest Summit to decide the fate
of Northwest timberlands.
While most students spent Spring
Break concentrating on fun and
relaxation, Joan and Tye used the
time to develop a Forest Summit
curriculum. “It’s very important
that science classes tackle current
events from a scientific perspec
tive,” Joan explained. “With the
Timber Summit, we had an issue
that’s receiving both local and
national attention. Students need
to know how science affects cur
rent events. After all, science is
basically trying to make sense out
of the world around us.”
Students began studying the
issues surrounding the Forest
Summit when they returned to
School on Monday, March 29. In
preparation for their forest sum
mits, which were staggered from
April 2-5, Joan and Tye had gath
ered pertinent articles for students
to read. Students then prepared
presentations for their classmates.
The OES Forest Summits—sepa
rate summits for each Middle
School class—lasted two days. To
create the most realistic summit,
Joan and Tye devised roles for
each student, basing these roles
on real people but altering their
names. Each student had three
minutes to present her/his testi
mony, followed by a three minute
question period. Three students
from each class, chosen randomly,
represented President Bill Clinton,
Vice-President Al Gore and Interior
Secretary Bruce Babbitt and
Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy,
who became a combined charac
ter: “Bryce Espitt”.
With the varied dynamics of differ
ent classes, the decisions were
mixed. Though four of Tye’s five
classes "leaned toward conserva
tion” the fifth group was much
more pro-timber. According to Tye,
although one group did decide to
put a ban on logging exports,
most of the groups chose to con
centrate on specific recommenda
tions (e.g. no logging within a cer
tain number of feet from a stream)
“While most of them created some
sort of specific recommendation
on how much old growth could be
harvested, these recommenda
tions varied. One group allowed
harvesting dead or dying old
growth while another opted for
selective removal. A third, innova
tive option proposed the creation
of cycles in new timber growth to
develop new old growth forests.”
Since the testimony varied, it was
inevitable that the conclusions,
too, would vary. Yet, regardless of
the decisions, the Mock Forest
Summits gave students a unique
opportunity to apply scientific
principles to current events.

Students in Upper School Biology
Teacher John LeCavalier’s Wetlands
Ecology course are involved in an excit
ing project, thanks to a S3,150 grant
from the Metropolitan Greenspaces
Education program of METRO.
Together with third graders, they are
producing a video featuring the OES
Marsh which focuses on the water qual
ity and flood control values of wetlands.
The US students scripted, directed and
filmed the younger students.
OES was also fortunate to have Larry
Johnson from the Northwest Film and
Video Center’s Video/Filmmakers-inSchools program instruct US
students in the wide range of skills
required to produce an educational
video. During May, Larry came to OES
about four times a week to guide and
instruct the US students—Adam Price,
Pam Bowler, Ibong Subagio. Ali Ajami,
Fredy Surya, Courtney Sherwood. Lisa
Hayward, Zanette Johnson and Elliot
deBruin.
In addition to studying the art of
video production, the US students
learned about third graders—observing
third grade classrooms and reading
age-appropriate curriculum guides in
order to effectively interact with the
younger OESians. As part of the regular
curriculum, OES third grade students
study the wetlands both in the fall and
spring to leam about water quality,
plants and animal life. Visits to the OES
Marsh and Woods Creek wetlands on
campus allow them to practice scientif
ic observation.
Script writing and other pre-produc
tion activities for the video were done
by the first week in May. and the
actual filming took place during the re
mainder of the month. Over the sum
mer, John will work with Larry'Johnson
and student volunteers to edit the raw
footage. Educational support documen
tation to accompany the video will also
be developed and written.
In the fall, OES students and teach
ers, together with representatives from
the Unified Sewerage Agency of
Washington County (USA), will make
presentations at several area schools.
Copies of the video will also be distrib
uted to other schools and groups inter
ested in the importance of urban wet

Anne Cass to head
Upper School
▲ Anne Cass
Anne B. Cass, who is currently
Director of Studies at the Derryfield
School in Manchester, New
Hampshire, has accepted appoint
ment as the next Head of the
Upper School at OES. Derryfield is
an independent college preparato
ry school enrolling about 300 stu
dents in grades 7-12.
Anne, who is looking forward to
OES and loves to write, describes
herself as “a leader who can work
with people, directing when neces
sary, to create an ordered but
relaxed atmosphere, friendly cli
mate and enthusiastic morale
behind a clear mission.”
She also admits that she is “a
good listener who responds to
chaos by creating order.” She
writes, “I’ve been coordinating
all my life, and have learned to
balance my professional and per
sonal priorities. As a child, I
demonstrated determination and
recognized the importance of
order. As a high school student I
discovered I liked connections
among people, and in college and
graduate school, I developed my
respect for the clarity and power of
language. A career in teaching
English seemed natural; combining
it with administering to the needs
of people in a school’s community
is what I like and do well.”
A graduate of Colby College in
Maine, Anne holds an MA in English
from the The Bread Loaf School of
English at Middlebury College.
She began her teaching career in
public schools in Vermont and New
Hampshire, and then taught
English and served as college
counselor at Cushing Academy in
Massachusetts, where she also
lived in the school dormitory. There,
she worked with both American and
international students in a college
preparatory program.
At Derryfield, Anne’s responsibili
ties have included academic
scheduling, curriculum develop
ment, hiring, evaluation, counsel
ing and teaching. She has served
as a school evaluator for the New
England Association of Schools
and Colleges, has been active in
the Council for Women in
Independent Schools. Anne is a
graduate of the Harvard Health
Services counseling institute and
has both written and presented on
various pedagogical topics.
Says OES Headmaster Peter W.
Stevens, “Anne brings us consider
able professionalism and a love for
schools, for students and for
teachers.” Anne and her husband
Richard, a free-lance writer, will
move to Portland in the summer.

Anne was selected after a national
search that brought four final can
didates to campus in January.
Students, faculty and parents par
ticipated in the search process.
“Anne brings us energy, wisdom,
experience, a passion for being at
OES, international experience, a
commitment to student intellectual,
artistic, moral and ethical growth,
tremendous enthusiasm and more,
much more.” says Peter. “I know
you will join me in welcoming her!”
�LouAnn and her “assistant chaplain” teach love
f
“They couldn’t keep us away," Lower
School Chaplain LouAnn Pickering
recalled. “My husband, kids and I visit
ed once a week. Right up to the day we
were supposed to pick him up, we still
hadn’t decided. On the 49th day,
though, when we went to get him, he
made the decision for us. He looked up
with those eyes that said ‘I'm the one’.’’
Those who know LouAnn realize that
she’s talking about that special day in
June of 1991 when the Pickering family
welcomed a four-pound standard poo
dle puppy into their home. Few people
realized the impact this little white bun
dle of love would have on the communi
ty outside the Pickering home.
"On the way home, we were trying to
think of creative names when Jim
[LouAnn’s husband] said, ‘I don’t care
what you call him, I’m calling him
Bruce.' I told Jim there was no way he
was going to call him ‘Bruce’, but every
time Jim saw him, he’d say ‘Bruce’, and
the puppy wagged his tail and seemed
to love it. So, much to my dismay, and
not my choice, he had his name. It was
really Bruce’s choice."
Though impressed by their intelli
gence—citing a recent study that
demonstrated standard poodles have
the vocabulary comprehension and
problem-solving skills of a 7-year old
human child. “I got Bruce in the first
place to complement my ministry. I
knew how powerful the animal stories I
told were, and I had read a number of
articles in psychiatric journals which
pointed to the benefits of animals.” So,
just one week after joining the Pickering
family, Bruce made his first visit to OES.
In his first two years at OES, Bruce
has been such a help that he now holds
the official title of Assistant Chaplain.
“He’s helped me so much. A lot of
times, kids won’t want to talk, but while
loving Bruce, they begin to talk to him.
He breaks down barriers."
LouAnn believes Bruce benefits
equally from their joint ministry, con
vinced that standard poodles need to
be employed to be happy. Though he
has regular jobs at home—retrieving the
newspaper and waking the kids with a
friendly face-licking—Bruce is most
happy at OES. On those days when she
is unable to bring Bruce to OES,
LouAnn says he “picks up his ball,
slinks back to his bed and gives me that
'how could you leave me?’ look.”
With Bruce’s mission, which LouAnn
defines as "making people feel loved
and appreciated, loving and being loved
and providing calm, softness and
friendship", it comes as little surprise
that LouAnn would find a way to
expand their ministry beyond OES.
LouAnn heard about Dove Lewis in
June of 1992. Though the Dove Lewis
Memorial Emergency Veterinary Clinic is
primarily recognized for its work in
emergency and critical care for pets,
this clinic is fast establishing an out
standing reputation for its pet visitor
program.
The process involved in becoming
part of the Dove Lewis program is
intense. After filling out the application,
LouAnn and Bruce visited the Dove
Lewis Facility, where program organizers
observed Bruce’s temperament, obedi
ence and skills. He passed with flying
colors.
There was no question in LouAnn’s
mind that Bruce, whose strong point is
children, would be most effective if such
a role could be found. After another
observation—this time by the director of
the Dove Lewis Pet Visitor Program—
everyone agreed that LouAnn and Bruce
should visit Doernbecher Children’s
Hospital and the Neurology ward at
Oregon Health Sciences University
(OHSU). So Bruce faced his next test.
This time LouAnn and Bruce met with the
director at OHSU, who checked Bruce
for temperament, obedience and cleanli
ness. After passing this test, Bruce was
finally introduced to the ward. "He was
so clearly calm and together," LouAnn
recalls, pride evident in her voice.
After their first visit, LouAnn returned
to her classes at OES and discussed
the experiences she and Bruce had
shared. While Bruce lay quietly at her
feet, LouAnn slowly wove her story for
the spellbound students in Marilyn
Connell’s first grade class.
She began by thanking the students
for helping Bruce and her to do some
thing very special. First, she told of the
man who had brain surgery, explaining
that, since the man couldn’t talk, his
wife told LouAnn how much the man
missed his own dog who wasn’t
allowed to visit him in the hospital.
Bruce, seemed to sense just what the
man was feeling, put his paws up on the
bed and licked the man's hand. LouAnn
concluded this story by telling her lis
teners, “The man had tears on his
cheeks, but he was smiling," she said.
“Then I went up to Doernbecher
where we visited with kids,” she contin
ued. “This is where you helped me. The
children who were in the hospital held
11

the ball and took turns throwing the ball,
just like you taught him, and Bruce
caught it. He shook hands with them.
You helped us with all of this."
LouAnn’s special gift for working with
children is obvious. Though she
describes her student teaching experi
ences as being “so horrible I decided to
go into public relations", LouAnn
returned to the job years later as a
/have an
Sunday School teacher. “After a while, I
extraordinary
realized my love for children was as
job.
I get to
strong as ever, so I spoke with Father

Roy [Coulter, Dean of the Cathedral
Church of St. John the Baptist]. I shared
and collect
my plans with him, explaining that,
hugs.
while I wanted to teach, I wanted to do
it within the framework of the Gospels.”
The rest, as they say, is history. Later
that same day, Father Roy told LouAnn
to "get down to OES because the
Lower School was looking for a
Chaplain. I auditioned for
the job—telling a story to
the Kindergarten, 3rd and
5th grade classes—and
was hired.” Eight years
later, she remains passion
ate about her position.
“When I was hired, I basi
cally wrote the job
description, creating as I
▲ LouAnn Pickering and Bruce
went. I’m lucky to have a
job where I'm working in the ministry.
There are chaplains in Episcopal
schools but very few lay people. I have
an extraordinary job. I get to tell stories
and collect hugs.”
“I feel we are all called to work
toward health...to pursue a healthy
body, mind and spirit. It’s most impor
tant for me to be honest about who I am
when working with the kids. I share the
tough things, like when my first dog
died, and they saw my sorrow and my
tears. It makes it easier for them to
understand that we all struggle. In this
way we can share it all—the good and
the bad."
As she looks toward the future,
LouAnn’s plans continue to expand. She
now has the endorsement of the Cath
edral and is an aspirant for Holy Orders.
One problem remains to be resolved:
Oregon has no seminary, and three
years of seminary are required. “In order
to do this, I would have to travel and be
away, so I don’t know how this is going
to happen. I don’t know when it’s going
to happen. But that’s ok. If it is to be, it
will have to be healthy for me and my
OREGON
family."

Parents join students for ceremonial Native American feast
Each year, 4th grade students at OES invite parents to join them for a Potlatch—a ceremonial
feast among Indian tribes living on the Northwest Pacific Coast. This year, students gathered on
Wednesday, March 17, for their Potlatch.
During the Potlatch ceremony, the host distributes gifts requiring reciprocation. (Potlatch is
derived from the Chinook/Nootka word for gift patshatl.) Together with the entire 4th grade, Chief
Alex Ames shared “the tribe’s” wealth with the parent tribe and Krishna Potluri, was the speaker
for the day.
Dressed in blankets and bare feet—the entire 4th grade had a part to play in the Potlatch which
is based on related research projects. Everyone was involved in the gift giving, singing and feast
ing. Additional highlights included the Full Moon/Half Moon Dance, performed by Julie Grauert
and Melissa Radecki. Students also read legends. James Aslaksen, Kelley Brault, Kelly Kitchel,
Stefanie Kleber, Jake Sunshine and Andrew Weis acted out skits.

State of Oregon v. Stover
Though the case is fictitious, the enthusiasm of high school
students competing in die Oregon Law Related Education Project,
commonly referred to as Mock Trial, was very real. Over 250 stu
dents from 77 schools throughout Oregon spent months preparing
their cases. Regional competitions, which took place in six areas of
the State in March, narrowed the competition from 77 teams to die
top 21.
Only in its second year as an activity, the OES team gave an
impressive performance at the regional competition, involving stu
dents 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. They advanced from regionals 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 this team to the finals. The Mock Trials, held Friday and
Saturday, April 2-3, culminated in a final match between OES and
Grant High School, who placed second in last year’s Mock Trials.
“This competition is unique in many ways. First, students must
prepare cases for both the plaintiff and the defendant, and second,
students role-play all roles including attorneys, witnesses and court
officials in the fictitious trial.”
In the Mock Trial activity, student learning goes far beyond the
workings of the court system. Though skills acquired differ from
one student to the next, videotaping helps students realize differ
ences between written and verbal communication. The process
also forces them to develop public speaking skills and helps build
self-confidence.

AMIGOS
AMIGOS. Though the word is
Spanish in origin, most Englishspeaking Americans recognize that it
means friends. To a small but very
dedicated group of American stu
dents, however, the definition of AMI
GOS has a meaning far more complex
than this. For them, AMIGOS—short
for Amigos de las Americas—is a
youth-directed, non-profit, interna
tional, private volunteer organization
composed of high school students
who, over the last 26 years, have
been serving the people of Latin
America in an effort to promote good
health practices.
Since 1965, Amigos has placed
over 15,500 volunteers in 15 Latin
American countries. As the guests of
their host country’s government,
these student health educators pro
vide vital services that include human
inoculations, community sanitation
and education, dental health, oral
rehydration therapy and education,
community development, environ
mental education and animal health
and rabies inoculation.
This year, OES students Scott
Kremkau, a junior, and Shane Hoffman,
a sophomore, will spend part of their
summer in Latin America. Their partici
pation in this program is due, in large
part, to the tireless efforts of Upper
School Head Ed Rubovits. Ed has been
involved in and chaired the local chap
ter of AMIGOS for the last 10 years.
During his long term commitment
to the AMIGOS program, Ed has
seen, firsthand, how participation in
AMIGOS changes a student’s life.
“Students come with a perspective
about values that only exposure to a
different culture will change. After
AMIGOS they look at the world and
themselves in a different light. They
grow.”
Student Amigos also gain practical
experience. “The program offers rare
opportunities for students, aged 1618, to accept real responsibility, exer
cise leadership and further cultural
exchange. Don’t fool yourself,”
admonishes Ed. “These are opportu
nities you don’t get working at
McDonalds. This also looks mighty
good on a college application.”
Since the organization is youth
gives dedicated students
a unique
opportunity to help
directed, repeat student volunteers
often move quickly up the ladder of
responsibility, ultimately working as
project directors and liaisons to the
host governments.
In contrast, the adult organizers
(e.g. Ed) seldom have opportunities to
gain the same kind of first hand expe
rience as student volunteers. So,
when an opportunity to join directors
from other chapters throughout the
United States for a mini-Amigos
experience arose, Ed jumped at the
chance. "I was lucky enough to be
placed high in the Andes," he remem
bers. “It was a classic experience.
The meals were cooked in a separate
hut over a fire, and they had to clear
the kids out of the bed so I’d have
somewhere to sleep. Going down
there, even for a week, took it out of
the realm of theoretical for me. It
gave us—the adults—a sense of what
the kids go through. We got to see
and hear firsthand both the good and
the bad.”
The AMIGOS program is funded
through the efforts of students, par
ents and local chapters. With $2945
needed to send a volunteer to Latin
America, students sell grapefruit and
tulips, seek outside contributions and
often contribute their own funds.
AMIGOS criteria for selecting the
countries and the projects is solid:
the volunteer’s health and safety must
be ensured and projects must provide
a sense of accomplishment and satis
faction for students. Since AMIGOS
only works in a country at the invita
tion of a host government, it is vital
that volunteers are sufficiently trained
to ensure the cooperation of local
communities. Countries where AMI
GOS has gone in the past include
Mexico, Costa Rica, Dominican
Republic, Ecuador, Paraguay and
Brazil.
Preparation requires five months of
training. Students take Spanish lan
guage courses (in addition to the one
year prerequisite), paramedical skills,
human relations—how to get along in
a strange community and different
culture and, finally, they learn about
the unique culture of their host coun
try. Volunteers must also be prepared
to deal with unusual situations—rules
16
may be different from what they
would expect, or there may be no
rules.
In mid-June, students are paired
with 1-2 partners at their point of
departure—Houston or Miami. At the
conclusion of a 3-4 day in-country
orientation, AMIGOS volunteers are
loaded in the back of a pickup truck
and sent to rural areas where they
begin the jobs for which they have
been trained.
The arrival of an AMIGOS volunteer
in town is quite an event. Since every
one in the village knows they’re com
ing, typically, both the host family and
the mayor of the city are on hand for
a greeting ceremony.
For most people here in the United
States, it is difficult to imagine the life
these young volunteers lead. In most
cases there is no electricity or phone
and, sometimes, no sanitation. Yet,
students continue to take part in AMI
GOS, some for a number of years.
Why? "These are kids with a sense of
adventure—a mix of idealism and
caring about making a difference in
the world,” explains Ed. “Its a self
selecting group. Typically, these kids
have a lot; they feel they should do
something for others."
On-going communication is essen
tial since a project is not complete
simply because the latrine has been
built, an area reforested or a tooth
filled. A project is only successful to
the degree that public health is
explained and understood.
Ed often becomes impassioned
when discussing this part of the AMI
GOS job. “Sure you can dig a latrine,
but if the people don’t understand
why you built it, they’ll just smile
politely, and when you leave, they
won’t use it. Someone has to explain
the basics...if they don’t use the
latrine, they will get diarrhea, which
means dehydration, which leads to
death. A lot of people in developed
countries live under the assumption
that native populations develop
immunity to bacteria; that’s not true.
They just die.
“We all live a pretty good life. If
we can help someone else, then it’s
our duty, as human beings, to do
so—in whatever fashion we can."
�Retiring Upper School Head reflects on years at OES
“When I arrived at OES ten years
ago, it was very small—about 135
students in the Upper School,”
said Upper School Head Ed
Rubovits who is retiring at the end
of this school year. “The program
was modest by today’s standards
and most of the teachers had
taught primarily at OES.” He noted
that the School was “much more
provincial in those days—very
Northwest”.
What about kids? Are they differ
ent? “I think they continue to
reflect their parents views as well
as contemporary points of view,
as they always have,” he said.
"Some kids are more adventurous
today—more willing to try new
things. And that's good.” Some
things don’t change either, like the
“unofficial official” student quote:
“I’d love to, but I have too much
homework.”
The ensuing 10 years had
their ups and downs. “The
changes have been the most
satisfying,” said Ed. “Most
have occurred in a collegial
atmosphere, where the par
ticipants have had an invest
ment in the School’s future.”
Over the years, Ed said that he
has most enjoyed the people who
work here. Originally a native of
Chicago, Ed spent from 1959-82 in
Southwestern schools, including
terms as headmaster at Verde
Valley in Arizona and at Colorado
Rocky Mountain School. “Oregon
ians are different—kind, gentle,
thoughtful.” he said. “Oregon is
like that, too—the weather, the
landscape. It’s tempting, desirable.
It makes you want to stay.”
Perhaps as a contrast and
because he admits to having
a well-developed sense of
adventure, Ed also enjoys
the rest of the West. “It has
a rough rawness not so
easily found in the Pacific
Northwest.”
“Really I truly believe that
OES is at a wonderful posi
tion in its history. This means
we can do almost anything.
This is exciting. This forces
us to say what we are about,
to define our goals. This is
harder, I think, than facing
adversity.”
He believes the best change
he has seen is that “opportu
nities for kids have blos
somed within the traditional
college prep framework at
OES”. For example when he
first arrived, art was “only an
activity”. Other important
growth areas he sees have
been athletics, a revamped
science curriculum and expe
riential education. “We have a
vision of what experiential
education can be—beyond
four hiking trips each year.
We give so much time and
energy to these things, it’s
good to see them grow and
▲ Retiring Upper School Head Ed Rubovits was
treated to a surprise birthday party in April, which

pie, was difficult to start but
group.
is now flourishing.” Ed also is
pleased with the increased oppor
tunities for students to take
responsibility—or not, as he said.
“We recycle ideas in Schools.
Schools are the only place, in fact,
where it is possible to reinvent the
wheel legitimately. With new stu
dents and new teachers, you have
a new wheel.”
Ed notes that all of this growth and
positive change happened despite
challenges, including the Mt. Hood
accident and a budget shortfall.
“It’s important that the School has
recognized and accepted these—
Mt. Hood particularly—as part of
our history.”
SPRING

Fun has been another important
component, although he considers
OES to be a “primarily serious
place”. Longmont Turkey Day
stands out in his mind. “It was a
perpetuation of something basical
ly silly," he said, explaining that it
began when students found turkey
meat stickers left by the kitchen
after preparing a meal. First every
body just wanted the stickers, then
it grew into an annual event that
included turkey costume and class
gobbling contests—and of course,
turkey for lunch.

As for himself, Ed plans to

When this letter
from Sally James ‘73
arrived on the OES
campus, it seemed
only fitting that it
should be shared
with the entire
community of the
School. Sally takes
time to reflect back
on a difficult time in
her life when OES
reached out a help
ing hand to some
one in need.
Thank you letter recalls 20Twenty years is a long time to wait to write a thank-you letter. Sometimes it takes 20
years to know just what you received. I am writing to thank Oregon Episcopal School.
How does one thank a school? Is a school a collection of people in one place at one time,
or is there a community ethic, or some institutional soul that remains constant through
the years?
I offer my thanks to repay a debt, as a kind of emotional housekeeping and in hopes
that these thanks may offer others a view of the institutional soul of OES.
My story begins on a Wednesday in October of 1972. I was a returning senior, full of
the confidence and self-absorption of youth. I lived with my mother, who was a high
school teacher, on a Willamette River houseboat. She was looking forward to an empty
nest after a long haul as a single mother of five children. I was ready for college.
Part of my routine was staying late at School to work the switchboard for the dormi
tories. When I closed up at 11:00 pm, I called mom. I can’t remember what we talked
about. Then, I would close up and spend the night in the dorms to avoid a commute. I
liked this slice of dorm life. It made me feel closer to the boarding students and closer to
college.
Thursday morning I was halfway through my morning classes when students in the
hallway said, “Mr. Wood is looking for you.” I wasn’t alarmed. The principal, Fred Wood,
was trying to quit smoking. He wasn’t buying himself any cigarettes. In those days, stu
dents were allowed to smoke at School, in an outdoor hangout called The Gazebo, and I
was a smoker. I assumed Mr. Wood just wanted to bum a cigarette.
When I reached his office, he looked pale. He wouldn’t meet my eyes. “I don’t know
how to do this,” he said, in a very deliberate tone, almost pleading with me to make it
easier. My mother had been in a car accident in the foggy reaches of the Sylvan hill. She
was in St. Vincent’s Hospital and not expected to live, although he didn’t tell me that part.
Headmaster Rev. David Leech drove to the hospital. I don’t remember any conversa
tion. I disappeared into the maelstrom of waiting and hushed conferences and relatives
arriving and phones ringing. Mom was in surgery for five hours. It was night when I was
standing in the hall outside the intensive care unit, watching through the window as the
light on her respirator flickered yellow, which meant she wasn’t breathing on her own. A
hand on my shoulder jolted me out of my thoughts. It was Mr. Leech, offering me a free
place to live at School until mom was out of the hospital. All I needed was a few hundred
dollars for my food.
Thus began the subtle but unmistakable adoption of a waif by OES. I had a home, in
my school, were I could pretend to be an ordinary 16-year-old. I could goof around with
my friends, without needing a ride. I could eat without needing anyone to cook for me. I
could continue to finish high school, even though I was eaten away by grief. I could pre
tend to live, and by pretending, learn that life does go on.
My mother spent three months in the ICU in a coma. When she regained conscious
ness, she thought I was her sister. Her brain damage was permanent, although it
improved to the point that she did know who I was. She lived in a nursing home, and
finally went to live with my grandmother for a while. My four brothers, none of them
older than 25, were themselves overwhelmed by the financial and medical questions.
Never mind the emotional ride they were on. They weren’t worrying about me.

I filled out all the forms for college by myself. I searched through shoe boxes of
bills and letters to find out what my mother’s salary had been, so I could fill in the
applications for financial aid. Where it asked for her signature, I wrote mine, and foot
noted that she was unavailable. When I got my letter from Pomona College, at least I
knew where I’d be living in September.
When I left School to live with my recovering mother at my Grandma’s house, the
drama coach, Marci Nolan, asked me to take the lead role in the school play. It would
mean somehow commuting home from School for play practice every night for weeks.
A fellow student and co-star of the play, Max Miller, said his mother would give me
that crucial ride.
As a mother of three myself, I am belatedly shocked at this generosity and at all
the small details of my care that went unnoticed by me at the time. From what reser
voir of love did they draw to find extra time for me?
Where had the School found the collective courage to let me remain, without any
“legal guardian” to accept liability for me? Who authorized giving me free rent? I mar
vel at the speed with which they stepped outside the lines of bureaucracy, insurance,
procedure and offered a hand to someone drowning.
My ties to the School did not end when I graduated. I was living with my brother
and his wife, and my mom, in Portland over the summer. Fred Wood and several other
teachers organized an after graduation backpacking trip in Northeast Oregon. I was
invited and will never forget how much fun it was.
Another School parent, Sue Bogue, offered me a ride to college in Claremont,
California. Her daughter, Nancy, was going to Pitzer, which is on the same campus as
Pomona. She loaded my footlocker in her station wagon and drove me the 1500 miles or
so to my new life. She visited my dormitory room and admired it. She made sure I had
brought a blanket and alarm clock and she gave me a crazy mobile to decorate my
room. Her touch helped make me feel less like a refugee and more like the other stu
dents whose families where in their rooms.
All this care and attention from the School and from parents might have made
more sense if my mom and I had been part of the close-knit West Hills or Dunthorpe
community of day students that made up a large part of the OES student body in those
days. But we were outsiders in every sense of the word. Mom didn’t have time for vol
unteering at Country Fair. She had no antiques to donate to the auction, and she didn’t
go to teas with the headmaster.
For some reason, the School community was able to throw its collective arms
around me. Looking back as a parent, I value what happened more than ever. As I
weigh the merits of schools for my children, I often think about OES. Compassion is not
what parents talk about when they compare schools. They talk about academic excel
lence, small classes, about good libraries and sports programs. It is hard to talk about
the intangibles of community spirit, of compassion, of taking time to care. But, I hope in
speaking of them now, I can inspire those shaping OES today. I hope on the 20th
anniversary of my graduation, that today’s OES is worthy of these belated thanks.

Without a doubt, I am most proud
of the increased involvement I have
witnessed from our alumni con
stituency through athletics, the
class agent program and alumni
special events. Moreover, interest
in the School continues to gain
momentum. The Alumni Board has
traditionally met on a quarterly
basis, but in the last 4 years, we
have been able to establish consis
tent monthly meetings, which I
attribute to a renewed sense of
commitment and dedication to the
School. I am proud to say that we
have almost doubled the number
of Alumni Board members attend
ing meetings, and we have diversi
fied the Board to include a broader
range of ages, from 25-75!

The success of the Founders’ Day
Luncheons of 1991 and 1992
stand out in my mind. In 1991, we
gathered in record numbers at the
Multnomah Athletic Club to hear
photojournalist John Nance give
an intriguing speech about the
changing world around us. A year
later, in the same location, we cele
brated our 123 years among a
diverse group of headmasters,
trustees, parents and alumni. Our
featured speaker, newly appointed
Superintendent of Portland Public
Schools John ‘‘Jack’’ Bierwirth,
spoke on the partnership between
public and private education.
Fond memories and reminiscences
were exchanged at a memorable
Reunion Weekend in June, 1992.
Headmaster Peter Stevens
addressed alumni and friends with
a State of the School address
which was followed by featured
speaker John LeCavalier, Upper
School Science teacher and envi
ronmentalist. He spoke to us about
the importance of preserving our
ecosystem, specifically the wildlife
within our wetlands.
In 1991, the Alumni Association
established the Bishop Benjamin

Award which is presented each
year at Founders’ Day to an out

Meet Sean Kuni ’81
Sean Kuni ‘81 will take over as
Alumni Board President for 199394 in June. After graduating
from OES in 1981, Sean earned
his B.S. in Business from
Willamette University and then
continued on at Willamette
where he receive his M.S. in
Management. In 1987, he mar
ried Paige Parker ‘84, and this
fall, their daughter Kristine will
join the OES family in Pre
Kindergarten. Currently, Sean is
the BMW Sales Manager at Kuni
Cadillac and BMW.
BellTower: As president of the
Alumni Association, what goals
have you set for the coming year?
Sean: It’s hard to set specific goals
when you’ve only been in office
one year, but I’d like to develop a
plan in the fall for the entire year,
outlining and creating activities
sponsored by the Alumni
Association that appeal to all alum
ni. One goal I feel is shared by the
entire Board is continuing to
increase the number of alums
involved in the School and Alumni
activities. I have seen much more
alumni involvement in my three
years on the Board, and I hope it
will continue to grow.
BellTower: As a prospective OES
parent, how did you come to the
decision to send your daughter to
OES?
Sean: Paige and I wanted an open,
creative environment where Kris
could develop both socially and
intellectually. We looked at both
alternatives—public and private—
and felt that OES met our criteria
and expectations. I was attracted
to the concept that there was no
“one right way” to do things. The
teacher worked with a central
theme, like trees, and then allowed
the kids to cut trees, draw trees,
read about trees—anything, as
long as it had to do with trees.
In the public schools, they have
to set a policy. I’m not saying
that’s bad, but its not as open
and creative. It doesn’t really
acknowledge that kids learn at
different rates.
Sean took a moment to share
his memories and goals for the
upcoming year.

The faculty of any school is
important, but at OES, the fac
ulty are not expected to do
everything—they’re just one
part of the whole picture. The
School expects parents to be

and at School. There is a recog
nition that learning doesn’t just

to be a part of the process. And
that just seems right.

CAPTAIN ELIZABETH REEVES, MCS, USN (RET.)
by Bob Chumbook
Assistant Headmaster for Development
he year was 1943, and the
country was involved in
the global conflict of World
War II. Patriotism was the
order of the day, and like countless
thousands, Elizabeth Reeves, SHH
‘32 and SHH Junior College ‘35,
stepped forward to serve her
country. That year marked the
beginning of a distinguished career
and a lifelong adventure for Beth
Reeves with the US Navy. After 27
years of service, she retired in
1970 as a full Commander and
now holds the rank of Captain.
Commander Reeves, a pressure
physiologist in the Navy, made
major contributions to the space
program and to underwater depth
research. The year of her retire
ment she was awarded, by a select
committee of representatives from
23 nations, the Paul Bert Award in
Operational Aerospace Physiology.
The award is given in honor of Paul
Bert, the physician-balloonist
known as “the father of pressure
physiology” who started aviation
studies in 1878.
During the early years of her
career, Reeves lectured on high
altitude flying in English, French,
and Spanish to pilots and crew
members from many countries
(parlaying skills acquired at St.
Helens Hall). Among her favorite
students was Alan Shepard with
whom she later worked on the
space program.
body, she completed her master’s
degree in physiology at the Univer
sity of Pennsylvania. The last five
years of her career, Reeves served
in the Environmental Stress Divi
sion of the Navy Medical Research
Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.
Among the many milestones in this
remarkable woman’s career, one
time in particular holds special sig
nificance for her. When NASA
selected the team to make the first
space flight, Reeves was there to
work with John Glenn, Alan
Shepard and the other five original
astronauts. She was responsible
for putting the astronauts through
the many tests to determine the
effects of weightlessness and
microgravity forces in space.
Reeves credits her successes to
the benefits of a superior early
education. She took full advantage
of the liberal arts education she
had received at St. Helens Hall,
acquiring tools for the future,
fueled by her already keen appetite
to learn. After a sterling career in
the Navy, she entered an excep
tionally rich retirement phase in her
life, a time she uses to expand her
interests even more. She attended
Foothill Junior College for two
years and received an AA degree
in ornamental horticulture. In addi
tion, she passed her real estate
broker’s license and took the U.S.
Power Squadron Boating course.
Beth Reeves continues to live
life to its fullest, and gives all
those around her inspiration to
do the same.
Behold us, gracious Savior,
In girlhood’s morning
bright—
Look on us in thy mercy,
And guide us with thy light.
Life’s journey lies before us,
Go with us all the way,
So shall we love Thee truly
And serve Thee day by day.

Hymn
In 1948, she went into the Navy’s
medical service corps and com
bined her flying knowledge with
her girlhood dream to pursue a
medical career. In 1955, while she

�ALUMNI ATTEND REGIONAL
EVENTS
Keeping in touch with our alumni
outside of Oregon took on new
meaning this year when the School
sponsored three regional events in
the first months of 1993. The
events, which took place in San
Francisco, New York and Seattle,
offered wonderful opportunities for
alumni to “connect” with other
graduates who live in or near their
city and to hear the current news
about OES. Look for information
on upcoming regional events in
future issues of the Belltower.
San Francisco
On Sunday, January 24, alumni,
parents, grandparents and former
faculty gathered for a Northern
Italian style lunch at the Westin St.
Francis Hotel in downtown San
Francisco. Peter and Hope
Stevens, who were in town for a
CASE (Council for the Advance
ment of Secondary Education)
Conference, hosted the event.
Peter spoke of the new long-range
plan for the School—OES/21—and
discussed the future of education
in Oregon.
New York
Neither threat of snow nor icy
temperatures could stop New York
area alumni from attending the first
OES event held in their city. Brent
Erensel ‘74 hosted the early
evening reception at the University
Club on Thursday, February 25.
Former OES Headmaster Peter
Sipple, who happened to be in
town, stopped by to visit with
alumni, grandparents and past
parents.

A Letter from
the Headmaster
Dear Friends,
A year ago, I shared with you the
School’s long-range plan, OES/21,
or OES for the 21st Century. 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.

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.

“The present Cathedral is one of
the strong and healthy parishes of
this Diocese. 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

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.

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.”

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.”

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.

Last summer I worked in New Orleans Summerbridge. 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.

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.

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.

Over 250 students from 77

areas throughout the state,
the top 21 teams were select
ed to advance to the State

OES Parents Keith
Meisenheimer, a Senior District
Attorney for Multnomah

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,

security guard, who also hap
pens to be a member of a

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

ment for a team competing

“She’s coolIcrazyI

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.”

“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

“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

named by students for the cartoon.
She also collects “rhinobelia.”

geneticist — Dr. Alice Hunter —
as a freshman. 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

She was proceeding into her PhD

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."

▲ 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.

HEADMASTER'S REPORT
Dear Friends,
Every year at Thanksgiving I read to
the School a 1936 Thanksgiving
Proclamation first written and deliv
ered by Governor Wilbur Cross of
Connecticut, and first read to me at
my father's knee. 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,

�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,

�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 ...
Sincerely,
Sean Gilronan

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. This involvement is
what makes the OES com
munity special — that is the
magic of a great indepen
dent school.
We wish to thank
everyone who volunteered
at Common Link and PAL
sponsored events. We wish
to give special recognition
to those individuals who
stepped forward and
assumed leadership roles.
Thank you.

O ummerbridge Portland was founded in the fall of
O 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.
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.

Though most students’ plans involve
attending school in the fall, a few
have chosen to defer admission for a
year. 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

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. She served as Dean of the
Middle School from 1969 to 1983.
In addition to teaching and admin
istrative work, she advised the
social service group and spon
sored a cooking club in the dorms.
After retiring, she moved to King
City and now is an active volun
teer, “helping all the people [she]
didn’t have time for when [she]
was teaching”. Currently, she
works with King City’s Budget
Committee and Health and Social
Service Advisory Board and is sec
retary for the Dial-A-Ride trans
portation program. She also chairs
the Education Committee of the
local chapter of the Oregon Retired
Educators Association and delivers
Meals on Wheels. Miss Fass wears
her King City Volunteer lapel pin
with pride — last April, the King
City Council named Miss Fass their
first Volunteer of the Year.
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

“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

and government real and made
us all excellent Trivial Pursuit
and Jeopardy players!”

�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... “

Excerpts from a not-so-typical
letter from an OES Alum
Last May, Meredith Boatsman
‘88 returned from a six-month
Lewis & Clark program in Kenya,
where she spent the first two
weeks taking Swahili immersion
classes which typically met to
cram in the shade of an enormous
tree. “We quickly progressed from
street greetings like habari yako to
the liberal use of hakuna matata,
hip for ‘no problem’.” Her homes
tay families helped by translating
words she tossed out while trying
to cope with the numerous
dialects and the Kikuyu language.
“I adjusted to the pole-pole or
slow-paced tempo. 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. Patrick also plays
regularly with bluesman
Norman Sylvester and his own
R & B band. Look for a CD
from Patrick in the near future!
Courtney Boatsman ‘88
married Kevin Howard on
December 26, 1992. 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. The
team came away with a 5-14
record earning wins against
Colgate, Babson and Wesleyan
and captured fifth-place in
the National Championships
at Princeton.

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!”

Thousands of us have come
together over the past 124 years for
different reasons, but with a com
mon purpose; some employed,
some enrolled, some friends and
relatives of these, some because of
history and some principally
because of the future. 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

What did it feel like to be

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...

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

“\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

a nation. It is better to discuss
problems while protecting national
dignity. At the present it is not
easy. 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.

Thanhouser family during the fall.]

from the bottom of my heart. I am

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.

�OES AND ITS VOLUNTEERS: A WELL-RUN PARTNERSHIP

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.”

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.

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.

says Evelyn, and she adds that
"Ancient of Days,” the traditional song that was played each
year during graduation, still brings on strong emotions.
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

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. Her children Mark, Tricia
and Brian later attended Bishop

would slide more easily into the wood. Her favorite subject, she
says, is Japanese, because “it’s fun to write and talk in a differ

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

“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.

Leslie. “We’re very happy that the girls can be here.”

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

impressed me when we first
looked was that the children
were encouraged to care
about each other,” says

There are those rare moments in

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.

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.

Larisa Meisenheimer, Andy

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.

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

■ 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

■ As an instructional tool, service
in the form of teaching others

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!"

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

As many of you know, there was a fabulous dinner given last June to
mark my ten years at OES and my retirement (a word that still seems
to fit some old codger, certainly not me!) At the conclusion of die
wonderful meal, to our utter surprise, Nancy and I were given two
tickets to Paris so that we could indulge in our dream of biking
through Provence! We were overwelmed, touched, and uncharacteris
tically speechless., but in a very short time recovered and started

the Cours Mirabeau in ALx-en-Provence, visited virtually every hill

ASSURING THE FUTURE
Most of us have written our own wills, taking into account
our personal wishes. 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.
For more information, please write or call Sue Nicol in the
OES Development Office, (503) 768-3153.
heading to London for a
semester of study abroad. The

and government will meet with

term internships for them.

A Letter from
the Headmaster
Dear Friends,
Good schools are not buildings, of
course. 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.

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!

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.
If you’re curious, take a
walk through the class
rooms.

�“Having Jian-Cun at OES while
studying China has been a rare
gift,” Shelley Staffer, LS art teacher
and global studies coordinator
emphasizes. “It’s experiential
learning at its best.”
Among an array of other
resources, the Global Studies
Focus also featured a Chinese
puppeteer, a doctor of Chinese
medicine and everything from
appropriate textbooks to literature
and visuals.
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

“The language drives the culture
and the culture drives the lan

says Sandra Cade, MS Spanish
and humanities teacher. “My
goal is to have these kids be
able to come to an international
meeting and not have the differ
ences in the room be strange
and overwhelming.”
“The Lower and Middle School
curriculum provides the oppor
tunity to lay the foundation for
intense language immersion,
and they don’t just learn the
basics of the language, they
become peacemakers,” she
continues. “Just being able to
speak the language is no longer
enough."
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

“This way, they aren’t learning the

points out.

OES Parent—National AIDS Policy Coordinator
t’s hard to decide which hat
suits Kristine Gebbie better.
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.

<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

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.

The true test of a good school..
is that its pupils are thoroughly imbued with
its spirit and impressed with the values and
soundness of its leachings and discipline,
and are therefore in a greater or less degree
its advocates and missionaries wherever
they go. And whatever else may be said of
this school, I am not mistaken when I say
that it has had such an effect upon the

—Commencement address delivered by
U.S. District Judge Matthew P. 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."

ers where guards stood watch with machine guns.
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.

still firmly connected to Oregon Episcopal School. 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.

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.”

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

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 juggles her responsibilities as a student, a musician

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.

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.

�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!

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

as a faculty member whose teaching was marked with intelligence and a
cutting wit. 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. We are grateful for his early contributions

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.

�Change and Continuity:
Cynthia Doran,
Counseling OES
Students Since 1965
A s the faculty member who
XAcurrently holds the longest
tenure at Oregon Episcopal
School, Cynthia Doran gamely
enters her twenty-seventh year of
teaching and counseling during
this 125th anniversary year.
“I don’t mind being a historic
relic!” she jokes.
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

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!

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.

�Still the Everglade

have fond memories of the
leisurely weekends they spent
at Everglade, a house on Lake
Oswego purchased in 1930 to
be used for recreation, includ
ing swimming, canoeing,
motor boating and tennis.
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

Many of the same huge fir
trees still surround Everglade,
although a grove of about
twenty which stood by the lake
were cut down by Father
Kempton, presumably because
they blocked the view.
Shirley, who was a school
teacher for many years in West

remains a flourishing watercol

her times at Everglade as a stu
dent at St. Helens Hall.

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."

Eight years have passed since that terrible month of May and I am forgetting things I thought at that time
would be impossible to ever forget. That period was, without question, one of the most significant events in
my life, and, I know, for many of you as well...
The students we remember today were a lot like you in their interests, their passions, their highs and lows,
their constant struggle to find out who they were...My father died that same year and I spoke at his funeral
about those lost on Mt. Hood and those struggling to cope with survival. I said that I have come to realize
that life was like a book and that the number of pages one had was not as important as the quality of each
page. I made a promise to try and fill each page of my book with something of quality...
In closing I would like to mention two people who survived the tragic accident...Brinton Clark sends word
through her parents that she is using her drawing skills to illustrate health posters for the inhabitants of a tiny
village in Ghana where she works trying to improve the quality of life for people so desperate for care and
hope...Giles [Thompson] dropped into the office the other day with his fiancee Marie Lorraine and their 5
month old son Lewis. As we sat talking, catching up on all the years, I looked at Lewis and I thought to
myself that this is what this special day is all about. It is about remembering the past for the promises made,
for the lessons learned, and it is for looking to the future.

each slipper—not one for the pair!

School's former students, faculty, staff, par

true, as a tribute to the strength of its acade

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

self as an English teacher, and then had been appointed the
head of St. Helens Hall Junior College for 15 years. 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.

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!

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.

many people.

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

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

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. Lyon
President, Board of Trustees

The Pacific Rim
Advisory Council
In 1992, the Pacific Rim
Advisory Council was con
vened for the first time by
Headmaster Peter Stevens
in Tokyo, Japan. 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.

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.
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 academically stimulating summer sessions
emphasize reading, writing, math, critical thinking, and

In addition to preparing middle school stu

also seives as a training ground for a new genera

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
thirty Summerbridge programs nationwide.

Each day our telephone
and mail bring us solicita
tions for donations. 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.

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.

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

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

whole arrangement. That
is the identity of the chari
table beneficiary or benefi
ciaries. Many trusts are

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!

The New
Middle School:

the Walls!
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!

e celebrate the 125th year
of OES during the 1994-95
school year and it promises
to be memorable. 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.

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.

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.

�Change and Continuity:
Cynthia Doran,
Counseling OES
Students Since 1965
A s the faculty member who
XAcurrently holds the longest
tenure at Oregon Episcopal
School, Cynthia Doran gamely
enters her twenty-seventh year of
teaching and counseling during
this 125th anniversary year.
“I don’t mind being a historic
relic!” she jokes.
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

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!

painful. 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.

have fond memories of the
leisurely weekends they spent
at Everglade, a house on Lake
Oswego purchased in 1930 to
be used for recreation, includ

motor boating and tennis.
Appropriately, the Everglade
is now owned by an alumna of
St. Helens Hall, Shirley Fulton

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

Many of the same huge fir

although a grove of about
twenty which stood by the lake
were cut down by Father
Kempton, presumably because
they blocked the view.
Shirley, who was a school
teacher for many years in West

remains a flourishing watercol

her times at Everglade as a stu

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."

Eight years have passed since that terrible month of May and I am forgetting things I thought at that time
would be impossible to ever forget. That period was, without question, one of the most significant events in
my life, and, I know, for many of you as well...
The students we remember today were a lot like you in their interests, their passions, their highs and lows,
their constant struggle to find out who they were...My father died that same year and I spoke at his funeral
about those lost on Mt. Hood and those struggling to cope with survival. I said that I have come to realize
that life was like a book and that the number of pages one had was not as important as the quality of each
page. I made a promise to try and fill each page of my book with something of quality...
In closing I would like to mention two people who survived the tragic accident...Brinton Clark sends word
through her parents that she is using her drawing skills to illustrate health posters for the inhabitants of a tiny
village in Ghana where she works trying to improve the quality of life for people so desperate for care and
hope...Giles [Thompson] dropped into the office the other day with his fiancee Marie Lorraine and their 5
month old son Lewis. As we sat talking, catching up on all the years, I looked at Lewis and I thought to
myself that this is what this special day is all about. It is about remembering the past for the promises made,
for the lessons learned, and it is for looking to the future.

self as an English teacher, and then had been appointed the
head of St. Helens Hall Junior College for 15 years. 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.

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,

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.

his Mustard Seed shares with
you a record of the School’s
health as we stand proudly,
ready to take bows in celebration of
our 125th Anniversary'. 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.

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.

Prideaux ‘59, our celebration year is
filled with very special occasions.
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

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

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

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. Lyon

The Pacific Rim
Advisory Council
In 1992, the Pacific Rim
Advisory Council was con
vened for the first time by
Headmaster Peter Stevens
in Tokyo, Japan. 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.

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.
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 academically stimulating summer sessions
emphasize reading, writing, math, critical thinking, and

In addition to preparing middle school stu

also seives as a training ground for a new genera

Summerbridge is a total immersion into the field
of education. Summerbridge Portland is modeled
after the original Summerbridge program in San

Each day our telephone
and mail bring us solicita

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

small. With a little coach

options, the seemingly
impossible can be done.

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

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

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!

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!

e celebrate the 125th year
of OES during the 1994-95
school year and it promises
to be memorable. 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,

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.
