College Counselor Cynthia Doran Talks About How Students Choose Colleges very spring I can count on being asked over and over again the same question by colleagues, friends, and rival schools. It can take a variety of forms, but essentially it comes down to, “Did the OES seniors get into good colleges this year?” (My hair­ dresser still hasn’t gotten over the time when the woman sitting next to me overheard our conver­ sation, and said, “Oh, you’re from OES. I understand you have a good college list this year!”) Although my questioners always seem to have a vague, tacit understanding of the “good colleges,” my sense is that the definition currently in vogue would be the colleges most highly ranked by U.S. News & World Report. While I try to respond to this question patiently and politely, I find myself wishing that I had more time for their education. OES seniors, like seniors everywhere, are aware of how colleges are ranked and can take that into consideration. And admit­ tedly, every year a considerable number will aspire to and can be proud of securing admission at a highly selective institution. Everyone who gradu­ ates from OES, however, has been taught that there is much more to a good college decision than securing admission to a highly ranked school. The reasons that go into selecting to spend four formative, valuable years of one’s life at a par­ ticular institution are personal and varied, and should be. Every year I am struck by how a number of OES seniors recognize and act upon priorities that are important to them and their families in selecting a college, in spite of the rankings. They are willing to set aside the status our society would automati­ cally bestow upon them in favor of attending the college that is the best match for them. Over the past twenty-eight years, I can remember decisions, among others, that came down to the quality of a major, being available to a younger sibling, having access to a music teacher, and being sensitive to family finances. Making such a decision takes courage and requires a considerable amount of self-knowledge; I have a great deal of admiration for young people who do so. Their resolve enables me to assure the woman having her hair cut beside me, “Yes, OES does have a good list this year!” Diverse priorities influence college choice, as illustrated by recent graduates Gabe Rosenhouse, Derrick Chan, K. T. Adams, Chris Icombe, and Amissa Miller 4 OES SUMMER. 2002 �- Five OES Seniors Talk About Their College Choices and I hope to continue singing in college as well. Other activi­ ties: tutoring ESL students in the AASK program (I hope to continue working with kids), working on the Art-Lit Magazine (maybe I’ll do something like that if I have any time left!). ' What do you count among your most significant accomplish­ ments while at OES? It is hard for me to pick out a singular thing; I feel like my biggest accomplishment has been just making it through and staying sane in such a crazy, chaotic lifestyle... if I have to pick one thing, though, I’d say that directing the one-act play Miss Julie [my senior year] is the one thing that I’m the most grate­ ful for having the opportunity to do. I couldn’t have asked for a better cast and crew to work with on my first directing experience, and I hope that I can use what I learned in my future career. AMISSA MILLER Will attend: Spelman College Schools she turned down: Columbia University, Marymount Manhattan, The Tisch School of Fine Arts at NYU What were the most important factors that influenced your final choice? My final choice was between NYU and Spelman... Since junior year, I had been convinced that if I could get into NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, I would definitely go there. I finally decided on Spelman because I felt that, after being at OES, having the experience of attending a Black college would be valuable for me... I knew that I would develop socially and emotionally in a very unique way at Spelman. I finally decided that I had to go with the situation that was best for me, and not the most prestigious. I also received a full scholarship from Spelman, which didn’t hurt at all! What are you looking forward to studying? I’m planning to do a double major in Drama and Spanish Language, and I’m so excited for both! It’s going to be a lot of work, but these are two of my biggest passions in life, so it won’t seem so bad. What have been your extracurricular Interests while at OES, and do you plan to pursue them in college? I’ve put the most time into theater, both at OES and at dif­ ferent community theaters in Portland, and I plan to pursue some kind of a career in the performing arts, so I’ll definitely focus on that in college. I sang with the A Cappella Jazz choir, DERRICK CHAN Will attend: Carnegie Mellon University Schools he turned down: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, University of Rochester, Vanderbilt What were the most important factors that influenced your final choice? The most important factors were the curriculum offered, the atmosphere of the school and the students. At Carnegie Mellon, the engineering curriculum is well rounded, allowing for more electives and also English and humanities courses. Also, the campus is very lively, the students do get out of their rooms and have lots of fun. Carnegie students are very serious Continued on next page OES SUMMER 2002 1 �Decisions, Decisions! continued from page 5 students, but from what I’ve seen, they seem to lead a more balanced life (work and play). You were offered a $40,000 scholarship to Rensselaer; what made you decide to turn it down? ! The way that I decided that Carnegie was the place for me was by sitting down and making a list of almost every factor imaginable that make up a college. Then I compared the two schools in terms of those factors, and time and time again, Carnegie Mellon came out ahead of RPI, except when it came to the financial category. My parents were worried, because $40,000 is a lot of money, but in the end, they have been very supportive of my decision. This summer, and the summer to come, I’ll be working at my parents’ restaurant to help pay off my half of the tuition. What are you looking forward to studying? Chemical Engineering, which will be my major. What have been your extracurricular interests while at OES, and do you plan to pursue them in college? My interests are tennis and singing, both of which I hope to pursue. I’ve made plans to practice a lot of tennis this summer, in an attempt to make the varsity team at CMU. What do you count among your most significant accomplish­ ments while at OES? I would say that one of my most significant accomplishments has to be my growth as a student, especially in the humanities. Even though I am a science/math student, I have learned a great deal in terms of writing essays, and placing my thoughts and ideas down on paper, and I couldn’t have done it without the help of my English teachers, especially Mary Quade and Lynne Sadler. Also, I have not always been in the majority [at OES] when it comes to opinion on different subjects, including politics, but... I’ve really been learning to hold my ground, defend my position, and not back down. KATHERINE “K.T.” ADAMS too. I also imagine I’ll take some English classes, but I’m looking forward to taking some classes in things I don’t know anything about, such as art history or economics. What have been your extracurricular interests while at OES, and do you plan to pursue them in college? At OES I ran cross-country, tutored Middle Schoolers and stage-managed plays. I would like to continue to do some kind of service at Wellesley; there are a lot of opportunities in the Boston area for various kinds of service. Some sort of educa­ tional thing where I could work with kids would be fun. I may continue my interest in theatre, but I’m not sure if that would be more in a class setting (like a English class) or in plays. Why did you choose a women’s college? The fact that Wellesley is a women’s college was not a huge factor in my decision initially. I really liked the college and I just decided that I wasn’t going to worry about it being all women. The advantages are that it is empowering to be sur­ rounded by women who run everything. Even at OES, many times the students in positions of power are boys; the past four years we have had three male presidents and one female and the president next year is a male too. As far as disadvantages, certainly you have to go a little more out of your way to meet guys than if you were living with them, but Wellesley has a close connection with MIT and most of the women that go to Wellesley don’t seem to have a problem meeting guys. What do you count among your most significant accomplish­ ments while at OES? I think that my three years of tutoring in the Middle School were a significant accomplishment. I learned a lot about teach­ ing and myself as a teacher and I also learned a lot about patience! I also think I’ve grown quite a bit as a writer. My freshman year, I was able to write fairly well, but my ideas were simplistic; now they have grown to be much more complex. I feel very confident in my writing, and I am grateful for that because it is a skill that will help me considerably in the future. Will attend: Wellesley College Schools she turned down: Bryn Mawr, Carleton, Whitman What were the most important factors that influenced your final choice? I was deciding between two colleges, one in the Midwest and Wellesley. I went out to visit both of them during their accepted students’ weekends, the Midwest one first and then Wellesley. I had visited Wellesley during the summer as well, but was not that impressed, mainly due to a mediocre tour, but my weekend visit was incredible. The campus was incredibly beau­ tiful, the people were very nice, the dorms were attractive, the classes I visited were fun, but mostly it was just a feeling that I would belong there. I really cannot put that feeling into words; it was just right for me. What are you looking forward to studying? I think I’ll continue to take French, a subject that I really love. I’m interested in maybe learning some other languages 6 OES SUMMER. 2002 �CHRISTOPHER ICOMBE Will attend: Willamette University Schools he turned down: Linfield, University of Oregon, University of Puget Sound. What were the most important factors that influenced your final choice? All along I was looking for a private liberal arts college that was in the Pacific Northwest. It came down to Willamette and University of Puget Sound, and Willamette just happened to be offering me more financial aid, so that’s where I’m going. I never really had a first choice, but instead had a few colleges that I wouldn’t mind going to if I got accented, and those never changed throughout the process. What are you looking forward to studying? Willamette has a major called “American Studies,” where you basically get to combine history, philosophy, literature, and other classes into one major. GABRIEL ROSENHOUSE Will attend: University of Chicago Schools he turned down: Amherst, Brown, Stanford What have been your extracurricular interests while at OES, and do you plan to pursue them in college? What were the most important factors that influenced your final choice? I talked to a lot of my teachers and to a few current and past students at each of the schools, and what stood out about Chicago is the extraordinary intellectual environment there. The interest in and devotion to academics by Chicago students was a large factor in my decision to go there. Chicago was at the top of my list throughout, although close to the end Brown was at the top too. What sealed it was talking to some teachers for whom I have a great deal of respect. They all seemed to favor Chicago over Brown somewhat, although they tried not to give that impression. But when I informed them of my final decision, they indicated that they thought I had made the right choice. I’ve played soccer and ran on the distance team in track while at OES. I’ve also been with the newspaper for four years. I’m not sure what sports I’ll play in college, maybe soccer and baseball intramurals. But I’ll definitely try to get on the news­ paper staff, or something like it at Willamette. What do you count among your most significant accomplish­ ments while at OES? I’m up for the “Editor of the Year” award for The Blophish this year. I’d be pretty happy about that. ■ What are you looking forward to studying? Everything. What have been your extracurricular interests while at OES, and do you plan to pursue them in college? My main extracurricular activity has been tennis, and I do plan to continue playing in college. Whether I will play for the varsity team or just as in intramural sport, I can’t say. What do you count among your most significant accomplish­ ments while at OES? My science research is something I’m very proud of, some­ thing I couldn’t have done anywhere else. The opportunity to work in a real laboratory and the exposure to true, academic science research are two things I count as invaluable aspects of my OES education. This exposure to the Academy stretches beyond the sciences too: especially in my senior year I’ve had the privilege of reading (and attempting to write in the style of) academic literature in other fields as well. All this exposure has been the catalyst for work (particularly research, but also criticism) that I am very proud of, and that I believe is indica­ tive of my academic accomplishments while at OES. OES SUMMER 2002 7 �Making Peace with the Past Colin Jones, South African activist and writer and former OES chaplain, spoke on campus during May former chaplain and friend of the school returned to the OES campus this May to deliver the annual Mt. Hood Memorial Lecture. The Very Rev. Colin Jones visited OES from his home in Cape Town, South Africa, fifteen years after serving as its chaplain during the year following the Mt. Hood accident in 1986. Archbishop Desmond Tutu had sent the Anglican priest and his family to the U.S. for their safety at the height of the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa; the family had visited Oregon twice before and chose to settle in Portland during their exile. Fifteen years later, Colin Jones talked about how memories of terrible events, and how we handle those memories, can profoundly influence our lives. He talked about his own recol­ lections of what happened in South Africa during the anti-apartheid movement and OES’ memories of the Mt. Hood accident and the sadness that followed. He also discussed how A 8 the September 11 terrorist attacks might influence the memo­ ries of the current OES community. Jones was familiar with tragedy when he joined the OES community in 1987. He was born in Cape Town, South Africa and was ordained to the Anglican priesthood in June 1976, simultaneous with the Soweto Uprising that marked the resur­ gence of popular resistance against apartheid. Over the following two decades, Jones was active as a church leader in opposing apartheid. Many fellow South Africans were arrested and detained without trial during “The Struggle,” some tortured and assassinated, before apartheid was over­ thrown in 1994. Jones’ interest in the importance and influence of memory was born during this terrible period. “When all these atrocities were occurring in South Africa, all I could think was ‘what kind of memory are we planting in our national psyche?”’ he OES SUMMER 2002 �i i said. “How could we live with this Jones researched his collection of memory?

He returned to Cape Town, South Africa in 1988 and was appointed Dean of St. George’s Cathedral and Vicar-General to Archbishop Tutu, positions he held for nearly ten years. He currently is retired from ministry and is a full-time writer. He recently published a book of short stories about Africans living with AIDS, which he was invited to read at a meeting of Anglican archbishops by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Unemployment, AIDS, and population growth still are major issues in South Africa, Jones says, and as a priest and a writer he has been particularly interested in AIDS. He points out that the new freedoms resulting from the end of apartheid, combined with secrecy and subsequent ignorance about AIDS, have con­ tributed to the dramatic spread of the disease. Over the past several years, he has gotten to know many Capetown residents with AIDS who use St. George’s Cathedral as a haven from the extreme stigmatism they experience in the community. “The basic infrastructure of life has changed since apartheid ended,” he says. “Traditional ways of life have broken down, yet ■Colin Jones was a profoundly healing presence in our community,'says Lower at the same time AIDS has been this tremendous secret for a School Chaplain Lou Ann Pickering of Jones' time on the OES faculty In the long time.

It’s a dangerous combination.” OES SUMMER 2002 9 �STUDENT PROFILE I I Sergio Zenisek '06 ergio Zenisek is just fourteen, but he already has a considerable list of accomplishments to his credit. This past spring he was one of just fifty students in the U.S. (and the only student from Oregon) to be selected by the Center for Talented Youth at Johns Hopkins University for a four-year scholarship from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. As part of the scholarship, Sergio will study Law and Politics in U.S. History at Loyola Marymount University this summer. He plays the violin with the Portland Youth Philharmonic and sings with the Oregon Repertory Singers Concert Choir. He placed first in physics and Best of Fair at last year’s science fair and was judged first in chemistry this year. During May, his essay “Music of the Heart” had just been selected for first place in the junior division from four hundred entries in the Sala Kryszek Art & Writing Competition, sponsored by the Oregon Holocaust Center at Pacific University. In case you think you have him pegged as the stereotypical prodigy, think again. Sergio likes to play his best on the basket­ ball court and soccer field, is well liked and respected by his classmates, and even has time to think about the upcoming school dance. “He is a very special kid, and a once-in-a-lifetime student,” said Becky Tooley, his Middle School advisor, in the final days of Sergio Zenisek’s eighth grade year at OES. “But what’s really amazing is his humility, his popularity with his classmates, and his well-roundedness.” “I have a lot of different interests, and I work hard at keeping my life balanced,” Sergio says. He credits his parents and OES for helping him keep up with his rigorous schedule. His mother, Lyn, explains that Sergio finds joy in the process of finding the right answer and doing the right thing, but does everything with “a fim-loving spirit.” Sergio’s balanced attitude will stand him in good stead for his next four years in OES’ Upper School. He plans to take advan­ tage of its “incredible science department,” enroll in some college-level math classes, and continue playing violin in the All-School strings group. On the day he was interviewed he had just tried out—and been selected—for the Upper School A Cappella Choir. In his down time Sergio says he will continue to hike, bike, backpack, and read. And, in case you were wondering, yes, Sergio has thought about college. He dreams of attending Oxford University. And OES thinks Oxford would be lucky to have Sergio Zenisek. ■ An Excerpt from “Music of the Heart,” by Sergio-Francis M. Zenisek First place essay, Junior Division, 2002 Sala Kryszek Art & Writing Competition, sponsored by the Oregon Holocaust Center He thought to himself as he dressed in his uniform... Would he crack today? Would he begin to feel sorry for life unwor­ thy? Would he fail his duty to the whole of the people?... He knew his mask grew every day; soon these apprehensions would be things of the past. But today he would have to be careful, he knew that his heart was still soft in places where it should not be... Out in the cold, rings danced around puddles, and the trees bent and swayed beneath the gray sky. Yet, his mind only 10 faced forward, attentive to the task that awaited him... At the station he boarded a train, others dressed the same followed... Once again out in the cold, the smoke of the train mixed with another smoke. The latter was worse, filled with a putrid ash. It wasn’t from here, it came from another, similar place down the tracks, where some people would be sent, of whom none would return. He checked in with a superior and took a position near a fence. The unworthies walked by. Their faces were blank... Was it true? Were these people truly evil at heart? The cause of all the whole people’s problems? Worthy of this punishment? OES SUMMER 2002 �FACULTY NOTES ■ New Experiences Await Departing Faculty OES said goodbye this spring to three members of the Upper School faculty ! CRIS HARRIS MARY QUADE JOSH ROSE I pper School English teacher Cris w Harris '89 will be teaching in the English department of the Hawken School, in Ohio, starting this fall. After graduating from OES in 1989, Cris received his B.A. at the University of Chicago and his MFA from the University of Iowa. He joined the OES faculty as a Lower School aide in 1995, and joined the Upper School English department in 1996. “To be able to do your first teaching job in such a familiar milieu is amazing,” he said. “Of course, I had to accept that the faculty would see me as two people, at least for a while—as their former student and as a fellow teacher.” In addition to teaching English, Cris was also the Middle School track coach, the chair of the Upper School discipli­ nary committee, a college counselor, the 2002 class advisor, and the newspaper advisor for four years. As he prepared to join a new school, Cris said what he would miss the most about OES was its “intellectual intensity coupled with a sense of silliness. Students and faculty at OES take their work seriously, but they don’t take themselves seriously.” Cris and his wife, Mary Quade, are looking forward to living in the country on their three-acre farm outside Madison, Ohio. ■ A fter six years with the OES faculty, Mary Quade will be pursuing her writing while husband Cris Harris teaches English at the Hawken School. Mary received her B.A. from the University of Chicago (where she and Cris met) and her MFA from the University of Iowa. She joined the OES faculty in 1996 as an ESL teacher, helped develop the now-flourishing photogra­ phy curriculum in the Upper School fine arts department, and has taught various English courses in the Upper School. Mary is an accomplished poet and writer and has been published in several reviews. She recently completed a manu­ script of poetry and is looking for a publisher. She says she’ll miss her students and colleagues at OES. She says “I espe­ cially owe Gary Crossman for making it possible to work part time and still have a chunk of time during the week for my writing.” Mary is also looking forward to being closer to her family in Wisconsin, having more time for her writing, and garden­ ing on their small farm outside the small town of Madison, Ohio. ■ A fter three years of teaching history in the Upper School, teacher Josh Rose will leave OES to attend rabbinical school this fall. Josh joined the faculty in 1997 after receiving a BA from Occidental College and MA in theological studies from Harvard. He worked for the Reform Jewish movement from 1993 to 1997 in Washington DC, and had been contem­ plating attending rabbinical school for several years. His choice was in keeping with family tradition. “There are rabbis upon rabbis in my family. The family legend is that I would be the fifteenth continual genera­ tion, which is about 250 to 300 years, which would take us back to the Enlightenment. I’m not sure how many generations it is, but it is a very long tra­ dition,” says Josh. When asked what he’s liked the most about teaching at OES, Josh says he has loved having the opportunity “to explore ideas and to convey my excite­ ment about ideas that I love with others. The faculty here is so wonderful, and I have learned so much from the people here, not only about teaching, but about history, religion, literature.” “The students are, of course, the reason that people teach here,” he notes. “They’re brilliant, and exciting to work with and to learn from.” ■ OES SUMMER 2002 n �■ CAMPUS ■ SNAPS ■ The 2002-03 dorm prefects, chosen from this year's record number of applicants Dorm Leaders Elected For Upcoming Year A record number of dorm students applied and were consid­ ered for the eight prefect positions for the upcoming 2002-03 school year, reported dorm parent Hope Stevens. Dorm pre­ fects are leaders chosen by the dorm staff after a lengthy process of interviewing. They coordinate the all-dorm meet­ ings, tutor and counsel their peers, and serve as a valuable liason between the student community in the dorms and the dorm parents. The new prefects will be Saeyoon Baik ’04, Claire Esbenshade ’03, Glenn Hawkins ’03, Lia Kim ’03, Ryan Lee ’03, Ben Mahasiri ’03, Nick Yu ’04, and Li Wang ’04.

Graduate Makes His Mark on National Math Exam Trevor Wilson ’02 ended his OES career with some spectacular accomplish­ ments—he scored a perfect 1600 on his SAT’s, passed the Syllabus 10 (the highest level examination) in piano, and received his black belt in Taekwando. Among his other successes was achieving the highest score at OES on the Mathematics American Competition for each of his four Upper School years. In his senior year, Trevor gradu­ Trevor Wilson '02 ated with the second-highest test score in Oregon and the sixth highest score in the nation. “He’s a really good thinker,” says math teacher Sharon Cade. “He has the ability to think outside the box.” Trevor will be a freshman at CalTech this fall. 12 Students Attend City Club Forums For over ten years, Middle School humanities teacher Alice Simpson has been taking her students to the City Club of Portland’s Friday Forums, where citizens and community experts discuss issues pertinent to Portland. The City Club Forums have allowed the students to learn firsthand about issues that relate directly to what they are studying in class: homelessness, housing density in Portland, and upcoming ballot measures. Although students from Reed College and a number of high schools in the area traditionally attend the Friday meetings, only OES has Middle School representatives. The students who attend, all seventh and eighth graders, are good role models, says Alice. “I think our students often ask better questions than the kids from the other high schools, and even some of the adults!” says Alice. OES SUMMER 2002 v'V*—• �■ CAMPUS ■ SNAPS ■ Student volunteers from OES and Vose partner to clean up Sellwood Park OES and Vose Team Up for Clean-Up During May, eighth graders from OES and their fifth grade buddies from Vose Elementary School ended their school year partnership by cleaning up the beach at Portland’s Sellwood Park. SOLV (a local organization devoted to organizing volun­ teer clean-ups around the Portland metropolitan area) donated trash bags, rubber gloves, and educational materials. “This was a great way to provide service to the community and to end this year’s partnership with Vose in a fun and meaning­ ful way,” says Middle School teacher Toni Holmberg. A group of the Wmterim artists were present for the installation of their fin­ ished sculpture outside the Upper School on Fine Arts Night.

The entire girls’ tennis team had a very strong overall performance, placing second in Oregon in their division. Coach Coleen Conkey also was named District Coach of the Year by her fellow coaches. When Jack O’Brien’s Winterim group gathered on the first day of their Outdoor Sculpture course, none of them had used welding equipment or blow torches. Despite their initial inex­ perience, by the end of the week the enthusiastic group had created a large-scale steel sculpture on their own, with design and welding assistance from Jack and a friend from his art school days, Knoxville, TN artist Andy Saftel. “It was really exciting to use the welding equipment,” says Randy Goossen ’03, who participated in the course alongside Kate Murphy ’03, Manami Uechi ’02, Chandler Hatton ’02, Jordan Wirfs-Brock ’02, Karl Kuchs ’03, Ben Mahasiri ’03, Mick Sitachitt ’03, and Leavy Huh ’03. The completed sculpture—three books, one complete with moveable pages, joined with a model of the Earth—was ceremoniously installed in its permanent home between the Upper School and St. John’s Parish during the final days of the school year. Parents Steve and Liz Warneke and their company, Imperial Steel, generously donated the mate­ rials, preparation of the steel, and equipment for the project. OES SUMMER 2002 13 �: ■ GRADUATION ■ 2002 ■ ■ GRADUATION ■ 2002 ■ ■ ! Growing Up and Other Life Stories ■ An excerpt from the 2002 Commencement Speech by faculty member Cris Harris '89 Jimmy Nelson, Luana McKinley, Grant Curry, Derrick Chan, Megan Peters Saying Goodbye to OES An excerpt from the 2002 Senior Speech by Amissa Miller ’02 It seems like every graduation speech that I can remember has ended with some profound answer or conclusion. And, in all honesty, I have no answers... The years that I have spent at OES since eighth grade are now a mosaic of faces, images, and phrases, of intense emotions and acute fatigue. I tried my best to examine as many of these components as I could in prepar­ ing myself to give this speech. My goal was to find some kind of a thread, some kind of pattern that would lead me to a conclu­ sion that I could triumphantly share with all of you... [but] I didn’t know where to turn. I had to think of a different goal. So instead of trying to find some eternal truth to share from my experience at OES, I decided that I would instead make an attempt to say everything that I wanted to say in order to be ready to bid farewell to this school... But this was so much harder than I thought it would be... It was impossible for me to figure out exactly what I could say that would make this goodbye feel satisfying or real. Suddenly, a miracle occurred. I thought of a character from one of my favorite books that I was introduced to in my sophomore English class: Holden Caufield from The Catcher in the Rye. I remembered when Holden was leaving Pencey Prep, and he stood on top of the hill until he found a way to say goodbye... “I suddenly remembered this time,” Holden said, “in around October, that I and Robert Tichener and Paul Campbell were chucking a football around, in front of the academic building. It was just before dinner and it was getting pretty dark out, but we kept chucking the ball around anyway. It kept getting darker and darker, and we could hardly see the ball anymore, but we didn’t want to stop doing what we were doing.” And this was all Holden needed to get his goodbye. I thought I would try the same thing. There were so many episodes, of course, that stood out from the past five years. But, even with all of these outstanding moments, I kept coming back to one in particular. On the last night of our senior class fall trip, I remember a group of us walking down to the beach... It was a magnificent, dazzling, gorgeous night; it wasn’t even cold, which is miracu­ lous for the Oregon coast. And there were so many stars. I clearly remember marveling at how many stars I saw. I can’t remember how many people were there, or what it was that we talked and laughed about... but I know that it was one of a few moments in my life when everything felt right. In the light of that moon and those stars, with that ocean and that sand and those friends. And I remember thinking how much I wanted that moment to last forever. And that was all I needed. Thanks to Holden Caufield, thanks to that night on the beach, I got my goodbye. ■ / “A story is a vivid and continuous fictional dream, wherein a central character encounters a causative situation...” I found myself telling a group of students recently who had asked me for a definition of story. A vivid and continuous fictional dream... words I learned in my sophomore English class in the fall of 1986 under the delicate tutelage of Lynne Sadler... I have used the definition many times in the last sixteen years, but find it still unsatisfactory. What is a causative situation? How is resolution defined?... As a writing teacher, I am often asked by desperately confused students who feel the deadline approach­ ing: “How do I end my story? How do I resolve it? Worse yet, how do I leave it unresolved and still effective?”... When I first began teaching at OES in 1996,1 was fresh in my grief for my father, whose death in May of 1995 precipitated my journey to Oregon. In those days, I sometimes dreamt of him, and while I would wake up crying, the greater sadness was that those dreams faded... These days, and especially these last weeks, I have been thinking about another, duller and yet deeper loss which perhaps has had equal impact on who I am, and my story. My first OES graduation was in 1984, when my brother Joseph walked up these steps to receive his diploma... We were close, Joseph Renn Harris and I, brought together by the same things that have united brothers throughout time: wrestling, laughing, sleeping out in the backyard, getting in trouble, tor­ turing our sister... I loved spending time with my brother, doing just about anything... And then, he had the nerve, when I was a junior in college, to get married. When I read from Corinthians at the wedding— the overused “love is patient, love is kind” passage in lucky chapter 13—I emphasized the last section “Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away, as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge it will pass away...” I sounded like a mourner at a funeral. It would never happen, I realized. We would never be kids, just boys, playing again. We would never go back to the house our family no longer lived in, never recover the pure simplicity of that time marked by play, and scheming, and exuberant violent joy... Graduates, there is a story to your life, and it has central characters and causative situations. It is a dream that may only make sense when you wake up. It has chapters, each with stories of its own. One such chapter ends for you tonight, as you leave OES behind. You might stay in touch... You might come back, but it will be a different story, I can assure you. I won’t tell you to give up the struggle to keep that which is dear, but I will tell you to savor the moments, relish what you have. I will tell you not to deny the goodbyes that have to come, not to hold on until you have made your loss worse, but to preserve those moments in time when it all hangs there, when every­ thing is possible and the ending is still in doubt. ■ Upper School faculty member Gary Crossman, and daughter Kellin I 14 OES SUMMER 2002 OES SUMMER 2002 15 �College Choices K.

But the magic happened when the spot was done and I checked the fridge to see if there was any milk left—exactly the desired response. For years the dairy industry has been pushing the health benefits of milk. Rational, yes. Compelling, no. Plus, milk has taken some health hits recently. “Got milk?” transcends all that by appealing to consumers’ emo­ tions. How desperate are you when you’ve taken a big bite of a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie and you realize you’re out of milk? "[At OES] I was blessed with teachers who opened my eyes to many things... The key to creativity is drawing from what I call the creative ‘piggybank.’ Having great teachers gave me a great start at filling the‘bank.’” OES: How is WONGDOODY’s advertising different from the work other agencies are doing? How do you keep it fresh? Our work attempts to reward the consumer by engaging them and entertaining them. It should be fun to see our stuff. The secret ingredient of our best work is that it is real. It isn’t contrived pitchmen barking at you. Our best work to date (for the Seattle SuperSonics of the NBA) featured real Sonics coming to unsuspecting fans’ homes unannounced and unscripted. The message was that home games would be broadcast live on free TV instead of Pay-Per-View. The chem­ istry was amazing. Real people and real athletes. No actors. What happened could have never been pre-written. The cam­ paign was a huge success. The way we keep our work fresh is through discipline. We must think differently or our work gets lost in the clutter of thousands of ad messages. OES: Where does your inspiration come from? Any funny stories about brainstorming sessions? How do you dream up these wacky things? Great poems don’t just happen. Great novels don’t just happen. Great screenplays don’t just happen. The same applies for ads—except, I believe, the task is more difficult. You’re trying to persuade someone in mere seconds. You’re trying to change their thinking about things they didn’t care about thirty seconds ago. It’s not uncommon for a creative team to come up with twenty idea “germs,” then have that whittled down to five. Then, those five are fleshed out into script form or layouts. That work gets presented to the client, which, depending upon the client, can go anywhere from one to five rounds, each round meaning you have to start over completely from scratch. Really, it comes down to discipline and hard work. The best creative people are always the smartest people. It is not luck. It is not inspiration. Actually it’s a lot like training to be an athlete. If you have to come up with twenty creative ideas before lunch everyday, you get better and faster. Your creative metabolism increases. It isn’t so much inspiration as it is that metabolism and the size of your creative piggybank. But sometimes you just get lucky and the ads practically write themselves. An old client, family-owned Azteca Mexican Restaurants, came to us wanting a TV campaign. When the owners of the company walked in we thought they were such great funny characters that we decided to create the commercials around them. The cam­ paign we developed was a Mexican soap opera. They had no acting experi­ ence whatsoever which made their performances real and intentionally hilarious. OES: How have the events of September 11 affected advertising? Do you see new themes in advertising because of what hap­ pened? Has WONGDOODY changed its approach at all? Patriotism has been huge since 9/11. It’s tapering off a bit. But auto manufacturers, beverage makers, investment com­ panies, almost every industry out there are all tapping that vein right now. Sure, it’s what’s on everyone’s mind, but adver­ tisers move in herds. Herds create clutter. People forget clutter or who’s doing the ads. So most will move off it over time. Another thing that changed as a result of 9/11 was the use of humor. This had a big impact on us. One of our clients, Alaska Airlines, which has a rich marketing heritage fueled by humor, wisely had us shut down the volume on “funny” immediately following the tragedy. We’ve slowly been adding humor back into our repertoire since the beginning of the New Year. OES: Any advice for an OES student or alumna/us who would like to work in advertising and/or as a creative director? Movies and TV have continually portrayed advertising cre­ ative jobs as a bunch of crazy, cool people goofing off, partying and having loads of fun. They make it look easy. It isn’t, at least if you want to be good. It can be fun, but the harsh realities of the business world will blindside you unex­ pectedly and often. On a practical level, many colleges offer terrific programs geared to training students to specifically become ad copy­ writers and art directors. These schools help you develop the portfolio of work that helps agencies evaluate and hire incoming talent. The best advice is to be focused, passionate, dedicated and do everything you can to get smart. There’s the creative pig­ gybank again. No one thing will guarantee you’ll make it. Three out of four maybe. The “smart” thing you can control, especially at OES with their liberal arts focus and teacher-tostudent ratio. All kids at OES have a great opportunity to learn. I did. The more you know, the more you have interests in disparate fields, the more you reach out to things you don’t understand, the deeper in your mind you go, the better. ■ OES SUMMER 2002 19 �OKS UPDATES ; . gw ■ i OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 1869 I Why Marketing? By Pam Dreisin, Director ofAdmissions and Communications i i As part of OES’ five-year Strategic Plan, a commitment was made to eval­ uate how OES communicates and markets itself to prospective and current families. Although our school enjoys full enrollment and healthy waiting lists, no school can afford to become complacent about marketing. Independent schools like OES face increasing challenges: a national teacher shortage, demographic shifts, a consumer-driven market, the impact of computer technology, and many other issues. The most effective schools are those that can meet these challenges with innovation, imagination, and per­ severance so they can continue to attract, develop, and retain a diverse group of the best and brightest talent. How is OES using marketing to this end? One of the most visible new ini­ tiatives involves the re-design of our school’s logo, crest and publications. By bringing together all of the admis­ sions, development, alumni relations, publications, website and media rela­ tions efforts with a specific focus, OES can more clearly and accurately project the image of who we are, our mission and values. During the 2001-02 school year, OES successfully unveiled an updated logo and school crest on the OES letterhead and throughout our regular publica­ tions. The current magazine also reflects our commitment to the new OES “look”, with an updated cover and inside layout. Be on the lookout during the upcoming year for our new and improved website and Admissions viewbook. We would love to hear from our readers as we continue to refine our communications and publications. You may e-mail your comments to dreisinp@oes.edu. 20 i Computers complement classwork at OES as early as pre-kindergarten Classrooms Flourish with Computer Integration Auction Funds Assure Tech Success ! ! } ■; < Technology continues to enhance aca­ demics at OES, with a tremendous boost each year from funds raised by the annual OES Auction, says Jim Heynderickx, Director of Technology. After many years of sharing comput­ ers with office mates, this fall nearly every full-time faculty member on campus will have their own laptop com­ puter. There will be several additional student laptops in each of the three divi­ sions, as well. “Having laptop computers as well as those fixed in the lab setting gives us tremendous flexibility, and enhances everyone’s productivity,” points out Jim. “It frees students up, and helps faculty in all departments effectively integrate technology into their work in the classroom.” Mini-grants and stipends funded by the Auction proceeds also give faculty opportunities to enhance their teach­ ing—and to help students expand their own academic work—with ongoing computer training. These opportunities include learning to develop Power Point presentations and web pages, using the OES SUMMER 2002 Internet for research, and video editing. Budding computer scientists will soon have the opportunity to learn computer programming in the Upper School, an academic area that has been developing at the lead of Upper School math teacher Barbara Spears. A session during this past Winterim featured computer programming, and for the first time next year there will be an activity period devoted to the area. “For students who are interested in computer science as a career, this will be very beneficial,” says Jim. “It will help them grasp the mathematical logic that drives programming; they’ll not only be able to use the programs, they’ll really understand how they work.” The ultimate goal of OES’ technology program, says Jim, will be easier to reach because of ongoing support from the Auction. “Each successive year, from Pre-K through twelve, we want to build on what students have already learned. We will be able to do this very effectively with continued improvements to our technology equipment and training opportunities for faculty and students.” �I I ; I The Gift that Gives Back OES students will benefit from your gift-and so will you.

School was “pretty rigorous for the era,” remem­ bers Marietta. “There was a lot of homework. What I think was especially unusual about the time, however, was the opportunity for responsi­ bility." She remembers buying candles for the chapel altar from a downtown-Portland church supply store, as part of her involvement with the Helenas, the school honorary. Also, students were expected to organize and put on their social events. “All of this gave the girls a lot more responsibility than would normally be bestowed on them during that era," she says. “It was an invaluable tool. Students don’t often get that opportunity today." Remembers traditions... “You would never call a teacher by her first name! Horrors if you did that! And when a teacher would enter the room, we’d all stand." Tries not to remember... “Here are our lovely uniforms [looking at a yearbook photo]... oh, gosh, they were ugly..." Forty-seven years after St. Helen’s Hall... I am retired after 34 years as an educator. My husband and I travel as often as we can.

There’s an extensive op-ed piece in there by me about the need for national change on engineering, legislation, and enforcement of child restraints for young passengers. I am also part of a coalition that is trying to move auto companies to build in a solu­ tion, which would become standard equipment for kids ages one to nine. The harness-style jump seats, just like the seats flight attendants use, fold completely away, are the safest option, and mean parents won’t have to keep buying and transferring seats. The auto companies have not shared in this burden of engineering seatbelts for small people, preferring, instead, to slap the standard seatbelt in that’s made for a 170pound male.

OES SUMMER 2003 3 �______________________________ _ OES Grads Thrive at Big Universities ^ omehow OES students fail to learn that you’re not sup^ posed to talk to your teacher. When they suddenly find themselves at a big university, they march right up to the professor and ask a question as if they expect to get an answer. And they do get an answer, often from a professor who is pleased to encounter a student who is truly interested in the subject. “I think coming from a school like OES, where we were told we could call our teachers at home if need be, I came into college just assuming that my professors and teaching assistants were ready and willing to communicate with me on a one-toone basis,” said Kimberly Spears ’00, who attends the University of California at Santa Barbara. “This is a correct assumption, but one that many other students fail to make.” Of course, at a big university, it is possible to avoid contact with professors. Introductory classes are large, and smaller classes are often taught by graduate students. A student who lacks confidence and initiative can fall through the cracks. However, those are two traits that OES grads tend to possess in abundance. Laura Powers ’02, who has completed her first year at the University of Oregon, felt no disadvantage compared to her peers from big high schools. “They have more experience in extremely large groups of FROM THE V POND TO THE i ! OCEAN 1 ! 1 people, but I’ve had more experience being proactive in learn­ ing, like asking questions, working independently, and going to instructors’ office hours,” she said. “I am just as well if not better prepared for university life than my friends are. I am extremely pleased with my choice. I don’t think I could be happier anywhere.” Most OES grads prefer to enroll at small colleges to enjoy the same advantages they experienced in high school: small classes, personal relationships with faculty, and a supportive community. Others are ready for something entirely different. Laura was in the latter group. Having attended OES for 15 years, she refers to herself as “the ultimate lifer.” “I was ready for a change,” she said. “In that respect, the size of U of O was a breath of fresh air. I learned very quickly that in order to not get lost in the sea of people, I had to find a small group of people to call my own, which 1 found in my residence hall. I have a group about the size of my class at OES to interact with, and it makes U of O seem a lot smaller.” Audrey Linville ’02, who like Kimberly attends UCSB, specifi­ cally wanted the experience of fending for herself in a less paternal environment. “I wanted to go to college at a school where my skills and knowledge from OES would be a useful advantage, but in addi­ tion I wanted to be able to put these skills to use with my own initiative,” Audrey said. “I wanted to get out into a setting where I would be forced to challenge myself, academically as well as socially. For me, adjusting the scope from a class of 60 to one of over 6,000 was exciting—a hundred times more people to hang out with.” OES students sometimes get an extension of a deadline by explaining their situation to the teacher, and some parents question whether that kind of personal attention prepares them for inflexible deadlines they may face at a big, bureaucratic uni­ versity. However, grads report that when they approach a professor or teaching assistant personally, they find them to be understanding. “If you get to know your professors or TAs, they are often more lenient than teachers usually are in high school,” Kimberly said of her teachers at UCSB. “If they know you, and know you are a good student, you can get an extension on almost anything, provided you don’t make it into a habit, of course.” Going to a big university is a daunting experience for anyone, regardless of their background, but OES students possess a high level of confidence that they can do whatever it takes to succeed. Audrey said OES helped her build character and achieve insights that were good preparation for almost any experience. “I think the bottom line of attending a large university is: If you want it, it’s there, go find it,” she said. “For some, this is a difficult concept, but for OES graduates who have been taught to look for more than just the ‘right’ answer, anything can be a positive experience.” ■ Resourcefulness Overcomes Challenges « College Counseling Director Cynthia Doran helps students decide whether they will be better served at a small college or a large uni­ versity. In a recent interview, she described some of the pressures and opportunities that OES students consider when making that choice. ! Why do so many OES graduates go to small colleges? Most OES graduates go to small liberal arts colleges because they’ve liked OES. I would say OES is a small liberal arts high school. If they want more of the same, they choose a small college. The students who go to large universities, or even Ivy League universities—8,000-student universities—are probably the exception rather than the rule. Do OES students have difficulty at large colleges? Those that attend larger schools come back and say they have done just fine, that OES has taught them the resourcefulness to figure out how to make the system work for them. I’ve never had the sense that those who have gone on to a large university are overwhelmed or fall through the cracks.

I can’t remember the last time someone said they were inadequately educated or unprepared for college. i Do you think large schools or small schools offer the best education?

It seems to me that OES students wind up feeling good about You can’t major in engineering or architecture at a small, themselves. Their uniqueness and idiosyncrasies have been OK here.

And certainly at a large university When college reps come to OES they always say, it’s so great there’s more diversity, not only in terms of economics or backcoming here because these kids are comfortable talking to me, ground but in what they are studying. The university is a more they’re articulate, they’re at ease. Although OES is a very small diverse community in which lots of people are doing lots of milieu, students wind up feeling confident so they can go off into different things. ■ < OES SUMMER 2003 OES SUMMER 2003 5 �GRADUATION GRADUATION ■ Graduation speaker Mariam Totonchy with her parents, Matti and Najla Totonchy Photographed at Trinity Cathedral before graduation were, from left, Ryan Goodwin and Khumbo Banda '05 look at a yearbook.

He has led OES teams to league championships and the state finals, even though they play against big schools such as West Linn and Lakeridge in the 4A league rather than the 2A schools OES competes against in other sports. He says the game fits OES well because although the school doesn’t have the huge pool of athletes that bigger schools can draw from, the OES players excel in strategy. “The game is very creative,” he said. “You have to move the ball around quickly, and based on how the defense reacts, you have to change your play or change your pattern to get a shot.” Splinter Wrenn, who coaches the Middle and Lower School teams, agrees that quick thinking is more important than brawn and speed in lacrosse. “I’ve had kids who weren’t necessarily very physical but can . p i -C * X X o ;! 1 £ Coach Kris Van Hatcher '70 started playing lacrosse when he was a student at OES.

It’s a thinking game.” Cathy also is impressed by the history of lacrosse, which was used by the Iroquois and other Native Americans to settle dis­ putes. The game was used as a substitute for going to war, as well as for social and spiritual purposes. It was picked up by the French and English and transported around the world, but then fell out of favor in the early 19th century. However, later in the century it became popular in boarding schools and small colleges in the Eastern United States, and now it is a nationwide sport. “It’s become very popular and it’s growing very fast,” Kris said. “It’s the fastest growing sport right now in the country.” He compares it to the way soccer took off in the 1970s. As pres­ ident of the Oregon Soccer Association at that time, he was right in the middle of the soccer expansion. Now he’s a leading force in ' : Lacrosse is contagious in OES fami­ lies. Matt Wiest '03, left, was a standout on the varsity team, while his brother Michael ’ll, at top, was a member of the newly created Lower School team. Addison Van Hatcher ’06, sitting, and his brother Dalton ’03, at right, were intro­ duced to lacrosse by their father, coach Kris Van Hatcher '70. HAIL LACROSSE! The sport is booming at OES with teams in all three divisions T he game of lacrosse at OES has been passed from father to son and from brother to brother, inciting a passion for the sport among students from the Upper School through the Lower School. This year that enthusiasm reached a new high with the varsity team fighting its way to the state finals, the Middle School team remaining undefeated, and a Lower School team forming with fourth- and fifth-graders. The seed for the lacrosse program was planted in the late 1960s when the school formed a team but found few other teams with which to compete. Lacrosse was dropped in the early 1970s, but during those few years of its existence a student named Kris Van Hatcher latched onto a lacrosse stick, and he has never let go. After graduating from OES in 1970, Kris played in college, then returned to OES as a physical education teacher and coach. In the early 1990s, he and a West Linn coach laid the groundwork for a lacrosse league that has grown to more than two dozen teams. This time lacrosse has taken off, coinciding with a rise in interest for the sport across the nation. With its fast pace and team spirit, the game attracts both boys and girls away from the slower pace and individual focus of base8 ball. It’s fun to play, and the boys especially seem drawn to the lacrosse stick and the roughness of the play. “They sure seem to enjoy that stick concept,” said Kris. “For whatever reason, having that stick and going out there to smack each other a bit seems to be enjoyable. It gets some of that energy out.” Kris introduced his sons Dalton ’03 and Addison ’06 to the game, and this year both played on the varsity squad. Dalton, a senior, was among five Oregon lacrosse players chosen as AllAmerican, a group which also included Matt Wiest ’03. Matt’s enthusiasm for the game five years ago enticed his mother, Cathy, to become an active proponent of the sport. Matt’s younger brother Michael also caught the lacrosse bug, prompting Cathy to organize Lower School parents to support a team for fourth- and fifth-graders, who play against three other teams from the Portland area. Cathy likes the workout lacrosse provides and the way players of varying abilities can contribute to the team. Lacrosse is fast, it’s aerobic—when they come off the field they are dripping,” she said. “They have worked so hard and they re so happy. And anybody can play.

Bruises frequently result. pick up the patterns of the game and learn to anticipate and do an awful lot to contribute to the team’s success,” he said. “Knowing when to pass, making good decisions with the ball, are the real keys.” But most important, he said, is the enthusiasm students bring to the sport. “The kids love it. Once you put a lacrosse stick in a boy’s hand, it becomes a spiritual thing. It’s an ego-enhancing activity.” The game is a big presence on campus in the springtime, with lacrosse sticks being an ever-present accessory for a majority of the boys, as well as for a few of the girls, who play with the boys on the Middle and Lower School teams. Hundreds of students and parents turned out to cheer for the varsity in the state finals, and Middle School students held informal practices in the court­ yard during lunch break every day. Splinter explains why he has played since he was a teen-ager and why the game is becoming so popular: “It’s a whole lot of fun.” ■ OES SUMMER 2003 9 �I ; ’ ... . . ___ _________ ____ : : Exchange Programs Offer View From Afar | i “They are surrounded by French, and they begin thinking in French, and it becomes natural toward the end to be speaking in French,” she said. The OES students live with families of students at the Externat Sainte-Marie, a private K-12 school in La Verpilliere. They take excursions to some Medieval towns and to Avignon and Arles in Provence. Usually they go to Paris but this year went to Geneva instead because of travel advisories from the governments of the United States and France. However, the part of the exchange that the students say they like the best is going to school with their hosts and living the life of typical French teenagers. “It is not a touristy kind of trip where they are loaded on a bus and then bused around,” said Micheline. “They live in a family, The backdrop of international tensions and impending war made this year s exchange program with a French school more difficult but also very educationally rewarding. dinner because they thought I would want a n the days leading up to the invasion of lot of food.” Iraq, tensions between the United In reality, French and American States and France were high.

For our kids to go there and see that the facts are so much different from what they read in the media here and to talk to French people face to face and to actually see the situation and have a discussion going on, that was the most important aspect of it. Going there and seeing for yourself is really priceless.” The learning experience cut both ways. French people who met the OES students learned that not all Americans think alike and that the media images of Americans don’t hold true. “They assumed I was really into guns or that I really like | big things,” Mack said. “If you are talking about cr£me In a courtyard of the medieval town of Perouge are Ussa Elliott '06, Christina Walitzkl '05, brfil^e, of course I want a big one.

When they come back, their French is so much better, their confidence is much higher, and they understand the culture much, much better since they’ve lived in it for three weeks.” Shortly after the students return to OES, their French hosts arrive here for three weeks. That invasion often proves to be an education for the whole family. In Mack’s case, his mother was expecting someone with more refined taste than her own brood, someone who would delight her with his suave and witty repartee. To his mother’s dismay, Mack reported, “He was as flagrantly male as any American.” ■ 'See You In Guadalajara7 Mexican city becomes a magnet for OES students and their families.

Both countries encompass a wide diversity of cultures . But unlike the United States, which is often called a “melting pot,” India is a mosaic of 121 religions and 16 official languages. Over the course of their 5,000-year history, India’s people have not melted into one culture but have learned to respect many cultures. Mrs. Gupta, whose children are in the sixth and third grades at OES, told Middle School students that going from one state to another in India would be like going from Oregon to Washington and being in a completely different place. “India has many states and each has its own language, its own culture, and its own traditions,” she said. She shared with the students some of that variety of culture, including spices, clothing, and jewelry, and she told them about some of the contributions India has made to the world, including nonviolence and religious tolerance, as well as advances in smelting, chemical engineering, astrology, astronomy, the lunar calendar, mathematics, and architecture. Following Mrs. Gupta’s presentation, the sixth-graders took a field trip to have lunch at Swagat Indian Cuisine as the culmination of their study of India. i i i Pierr Morgan shows her illustrations to Lower School students. Sixth-graders examine spices, jewelry and other i j When Pierr Morgan was 9 years old, she knew how nosy brothers and sisters can be, so she hid her book of poems and drawings. She hid it so well that she didn’t find it again until she was in college. She showed the old but well preserved illustrations to OES students, showing them how her youthful enthusiasm led her to become an illus­ trator with more than a dozen published books. Inspiration can strike when one is very young, she told the children. She knew she would be an artist from an early age because whenever she heard a story, she saw pic­ tures in her head. Often, her mental pictures include details that aren’t even in the original story. But that’s OK. One of the perks of being a book illustrator is that you get to make things up. “I get to play every day, making up stuff,” she said. And that’s not the only part that is like playing. “Illustrating a book is a lot like making paper dolls because I get to design the characters’ clothes,” she said. Ms. Morgan led the children in drawing a slightly scary character, using brush strokes and sound effects and occasionally riveting the children’s attention with a toot on a tiny harmonica hanging from her necklace. Ms. Morgan, whose visit was spon­ sored by Friends of the OES Libraries, finished the drawing lesson and then shared with the students her key to career success: “Follow your interests.” □ ■ □ things Banita Gupta brought from India. ! ■ ■ ■ Seven Oesians Win Science Prizes Saitoh Wins Peace Essay Contest for Oregon Seven OES students won awards in May at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in Cleveland, Ohio.

Kent’s essay, titled “The Just Use of Military Force: The Progression of U.S. Foreign Intervention,” looks at the justifications for U.S. military involvement in the Philippines from 1899-1902 and the involvement in Somalia in 1991-94. His visit to Washington involved a simulation of conflict resolution in Chechnya, meetings with foreign policy scholars and public officials, and visits to monuments and museums.

When he answered a casting call for 3,000 teen-agers, he thought he was trying out for a role as an extra. “I went down and stood in line for four hours and ended up getting my picture taken,” he said. He was called back for an interview in which he was asked many questions about his own life and met the director, Gus Van Sant. Then the director called and invited John to his home, where Van Sant asked if he could use parts of John’s life story in the movie and told him he had a lead role. In May the film won the coveted Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival in France, as well as the award for best director. The film, titled Elephant, is a fictional retelling of the Columbine school massacre story. The movie does not provide any pat answers to why such things happen, but John says the importance of it is, “It makes you think a lot.” John says he realizes how lucky he was to get the movie role, but hard work and talent also were involved. He has taken acting classes for six years at a Portland agency. Now he is represented by the William Morris agency and is hoping to audition for other parts this summer. “I love acting,” he said. “It was so much fun doing that movie.” Jennifer Cunha '04 came out ahead with her hypothetical investments.

U B Colonial Passions and Practices Revived I Marilyn Clampett from the Spinner's Guild shows Ali Grauert '05 how to card and spin wool. ! First-Graders Celebrate Japanese Culture Three Tories stumbled into a hotbed of patriotic fervor during the Colonial Marketplace in the Lower School Library. Seniors Eric Morgan, Tim Hatfield, and Tommy Bennett were lucky to escape being tarred and feathered by a mob of Lower School students after they expressed Loyalist views. The haughtiness of the three and their disdain for the colonists enraged the rabble, who complained bitterly about being taxed by the crown, and without representation in Parliament. The three lackeys of King George finally high-tailed it back to the Upper School. Other areas of the marketplace were more placid. Marilyn Clampett demonstrated how to card and spin wool. She noted that the boys were particularly interested in the engineering aspects of her unusual spinning wheel. At one table, students could write a letter with a quill pen, then seal it with sealing wax. One young wag penned his name with difficulty, then declared that the guy who invented ballpoint pens must have been regarded as a hero. The real heroes and heroines of the day were the volunteers who brought their skills to share with the children. They included Clarence Berger from the Family Cane shop, who taught chair caning; Lee Littlewood from Lee’s Better Letters, who taught calligra­ phy; parent Babette Farris, who brought her loom for weaving; parent Leslie Workman, who taught counted thread cross-stitch; parent Fran von Schlegell, who taught bread making; parent Margaret Blake, quilting; parent Will Ilcisin, knitting; parent Joan Snyder, rug braiding; parents Cissy Litvin and Ying Multanen, quill pen and sealing wax; and Marilyn Clampett from the Spinners Guild, who taught spinning. Website Redesign Coming by Fall By September, the OES website will have a new look and new features. Visitors to the site will be able to find information more easily using the new organizational structure and a search engine. Such information as email addresses of faculty and staff, lunch menus, school calendars, and maps of the campus will be easy to find. As the year progresses, more faculty websites will be added and features such as the curriculum map will be enhanced. The website will still be found at www.oes.edu. 14 OES SUMMER 2003 Some students in Sharon Cade’s math classes exchange the bliss of ignorance for the anxiety of knowledge. They track stocks for five months, and students can choose to use securities from their college funds. Knowing how volatile the market is can produce concerns about their educational future. Students chose three stocks and three mutual funds in October, putting an imaginary $10,000 in each. First they manually tracked their stocks by copying the numbers from the listings in the newspaper. Then they researched the companies on the Internet and requested annual reports. Finally, they entered the data into an Excel spreadsheet and graphed the results, comparing their investments with market indexes, sector indexes, and other stocks. “To me, it’s understanding numbers in the real world,” said Sharon. She says the project gives students an introduction to the stock market, a working knowledge of a spreadsheet program, and a review of using appropriate graphs to communicate infor­ mation. They also get to experience the elation of a rising stock price and the deflation of a falling one, especially if they actually own some of the stock. “It makes it more per­ sonal,” Sharon said. Jennifer Cunha ’04 said she came out ahead by $7,000 on her stock project, with gains in Sirius Satellite Radio and Coeur d’Alene Mines Corp, but a loss on Coca-Cola. Her gains were all on paper because she doesn’t own any of the stocks. Apeksha Atal, Mary Jean Whitsell, and Karen Warfield enjoy a Japanese meal in Marty Eastman Brown’s first-grade class. First-graders are learning about Japan from an expert: Teacher Marty EastmanBrown taught for 18 years in The American School in Japan before coming to OES last fall. During her years at the school in Tokyo, she kept an eye out for kimonos at flea markets, amassing a collection big enough to clothe all of her students. She also has a collection of Japanese Hina dolls and a big banner of a carp, not to mention tea sets, chopsticks, parasols, and coins. During a Japanese tea party in the classroom recently, one student showed how a Japanese person sleeps on a mat and then rolls it up during the day so the room can be used to have tea. She explained that Japanese have small houses because the country is so mountainous that there is very little flat land for homes. Other class activities included making origami, acting out a Japanese folk tale, singing a Japanese song, and making chopstick holders. Marty involved the children’s families by handing out bags from Uwajimaya, a nearby Japanese market, and encouraging students to ask their parents to take them there. When the class finished studying Japan, the props were passed to the other two first-grade classes to help them study the country. ■ ■ ■ Portrayal of Patrick Henry Wins Award 1 V" Eric Lundblade '05 We all should know that Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty or give me death.” But what else did the Patriot leader do? That’s what Eric Lundblade ’05 wondered, and it led him to win the performance category of the Oregon competition for National History Day. For the contest, he dressed as Patrick Henry and told about being the first elected governor of Virginia and about ensuring that the Bill ofRights was added to the Constitution. As an Oregon winner, he took part in National History Day in Washington, D.C., in June. In a separate undertaking, Eric obtained a $2,000 grant from the Oregon Council of Humanities to do research on nation building in Japan after World War II. The grant funded a research trip to the nation’s capital, which he combined with his participation in National History Day.

Joyce Mijo, Administrative Assistant of Transportation, Buildings and Grounds, who will retire in August, was praised for faithful service during her 22 years at OES. ■ OES SUMMER 2003 Life will be better for the Upper School science and math faculty when they begin teaching in the new Math, Science, and Technology Building in September, and that will translate to a better learning environment for the students. A science and math library room will allow the teachers to pool and organize their books, periodicals and other resources. That way they can share printed materials with one another and with students. Many books have been packed and stacked where they are difficult to find, and potentially useful journals have been discarded because there simply was nowhere to put them. Some classic science books dating back to the days of St. Helen’s Hall will be shelved where they can be appreciated by all. Replacing three very cramped labs will be five spacious labora­ tories in the MST Building. Not only will there be more countertops for experiments, but those countertops won’t be cluttered with equipment. Plenty of storage space will be avail­ able, including a special room to store chemicals safely. The faculty will share a spacious office in the new building rather than individual offices because it will enhance collegiality. According to chemistry teacher Rosa Hemphill, she and her col- leagues will be able to exchange information and ideas more easily. “Often a problem will come up, and if we have a critical mass of instructors, we’ll be able to talk about it and solve it,” she said. “We work very well together.” After many years in a dark basement, the faculty members may be squinting for awhile as they work in an office with a row of windows looking out upon a world with trees and sky. A second row of windows looks upon another inspiring scene: it faces the research lab where students will work on their science projects. Because students are required to have teacher oversight when working in a lab, they will have more time for research because they can work anytime a teacher is in the office. Also, the stu­ dents will be able to see what teachers are available if they have a question or need help. OES students have benefited from a stellar faculty, and the new facilities will allow the school to continue to attract and hold some of the best teachers in the nation. Those excellent teachers coupled with exemplary facilities ensure that OES will continue to offer studies in math and science that are among the best in the nation. ■ OES SUMMER 2003 17 �CAPITAL CAMPAIGN CAPITAL CAMPAIGN ?• Thank You to our Generous Capital Campaign Donors I (Donors listed below have pledged or given as of June 18, 2003.) .! > VV?

DAP is the alumnae college sorority council. To my surprise, since I was in charge of awards this year, I ended up receiving the Spirit Award. (I missed the meeting for I was in Aspen. See below.) I am an Assistant State Coordinator for AARP’s Driver Safety Program, a classroom defensive driving course for seniors age 50 and above. Even Colorado judges are requiring some of their traffic offenders to take our class. As an instructor I used to earn zero for the job. Now as a coordi­ nator the pay doubles. For the Colorado Symphony, I volunteer for their educa­ tion program for the schools. This year I completed the second-go round as the Colorado Symphony Guild Foothills Unit Chairman. I also volunteer for the Guild with their symphony fund-raising efforts. At this late age in life, I am finally earning a little money as an actress as a standardized patient for the University of Colorado medical students and the University of Washington oncology medical fellows. I portray end-of-life patients with one of the following conditions: oncology, Alzheimer’s, or newly widowed. Aspen is the site of the oncol­ ogy seminars. The University of Washington has hired us for their oncology bad news scenarios. Hopefully, the doctors will improve their patient listen­ ing skills.

And at the moment we are in the middle of a two-month treat having our 5- and 8year-old English grandsons with us while their parents get settled in Syracuse, New York, after 14 years in England (Dad is English). I hadn’t seen the boys in two years so we are making up for it now. It is a busy and happy time for us. 24 1960’s Lynn Furlong Cunningham '60 We’re still enjoying the good life here on the North Carolina coast, although we had a long, wet winter... thought we were in Oregon! Have made several trips to Northern Virginia to visit our daugh­ ters (and their husbands!) and grandchildren. Our youngest daughter now lives in Charleston, South Carolina, about 2 1/2 hours from here, so we visit her periodically, too. And they all came to visit us at Christmas. I volunteer at the local hospital once a week and have joined the quilt guild. We’re still working on the garden. If you get to the East Coast, come visit! Julie Krause Harriman ’64 Here in Carolina I look out my window daily at the fence pillars from the front of the old Hall. We bought these very heavy iron columns from the demolition people, and I have dragged them all over the United States to various homes for the last 37 years! For the past 12 years I have owned a Sports Marketing agency that focuses on auto racing for major corporate sponsors. It is a very unique venue in which to do business. My two daughters are grown: one is a dentist in Raleigh and the other manages my company. I travel consistently and live a very active life in spite of health chal­ lenges that I have beaten successfully. Lillian Eaton Stewart ’65 After 33 years of counseling and teaching home economics and health in grades K through 12,1 am retiring. The PERS situ­ ation has resulted in over 10 percent of the certificated staff retiring this year in Medford School District. My husband, Allen, and I are still working on our dream house. Each month we forecast a move for the following four to six weeks. This summer I am traveling with the Oregon State University Chamber Choir to Europe. Officially, I am their health person and counselor. My son, an OSU vocal music junior, is a member of the choir. My daughter, a University of Puget Sound graduate, is enjoying her current occupation as a police woman in the Seattle area. My brother, Glenn Eaton, went to St. Helen’s Hall from 1954 until OES SUMMER 2003 1962. He has retired from the Oregon Department of Highway Engineers and currently lives in Portland. Retiring while one is still “young” equates to graduating from college except with many years of varied experience. Currently, I am looking at options for future careers. Who knows where the winds will blow me? Heidi Mclsaac Shuford ’65 After six years of innkeeping, I have sold the Old Parkdale Inn and am moving on to San Francisco! I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people and being listed in Best Places in the Northwest, but I also look forward to island living in the Bay. Denham Crafton ’67 OK, so I’ve moved again (second time in the past six months); I anticipate moving again within the next six months, but for die moment I’m enjoying living at 3,000 feet in the high desert at the base of 10,000 feet Mt. Graham (nice observa­ tory up there). Still a dentist, still an Arizona Ranger, no Internet at the moment... life is good, the air is fresh and clean ... I’ll check in as soon as there’s Internet hookup to my hacienda.

On Sunday I’m off for a brief visit to Sierra Leone and Togo. While in Sierra Leone I will look up Amadou Koroma, fellow OES classmate in class of’74. He is a major in the Sierra Leone armed forces, working in some administrative capacity in the army’s medical unit. Sierra Leone, one of the poorest countries on Earth, is receiving substantial U.S. aid. In Togo I plan to witness Africa’s longest-serving head of state (37 years), President Eyadema, manipulate or otherwise steal the presi­ dential election. I enjoy paragliding in my free time.

One of my patients was a 1914 graduate of SHH and one of my friends is the daughter of the man who donated the OES land to the school long ago. It is fun to see the OES connections stretch and it really is a small world. I consider myself to be blessed with good fortune. Andreas Strotmann ’79 I finally finished my dissertation in Computer Science at Florida State University this month (April 2003). This concludes a 10-year project, the final four years of which I spent in Tallahassee, Florida. The project has had me con­ tributing to major international research endeavors to enable Web documents to carry mathematical information in a meaningful way. The best-known of these that I have had a significant impact on is the Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) standard, a project of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The title of my dissertation is “Content Markup Language Design Principles,” and it discusses the basic principles that should underlie the design of Web lan­ guages like MathML.

OES SUMMER 2003 Michael Fish ’02 I just got home from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash. I had a very busy semester. I played on our club lacrosse team with another OES alum, Ben Sadler ’01, and we made it to the semi­ finals. I was in Candida this spring’s opera, as part of the chorus. In three days I leave for Italy with the Whitman Chamber Singers, an elite choir ensem­ ble, where we will sing a few concerts in Italy. In Florence we will get the opportu­ nity to provide the music for Sunday mass in the famous Duomo Cathedral! After that I get a few weeks off before I drive down to Salem to be a camp coun­ selor for Young Musicians and Artists, a summer camp that has a band, orchestra and choir to foster kids’ interest in music. After that I will get another week or two at home before my whole family heads down to Australia and New Zealand for what I’m sure will be a marvelous fiveweek vacation. After that it’s straight back to Whitman where I arrive a week before the incoming freshmen to get my training as a student academic advisor, a job that I applied for last semester. During my free weeks I hope to reconnect with my friends here in Portland and hopefully take a few backpacking trips. Take care! Manami Uechi ’02 The freshman year at Penn State University ended like a whirlwind and I am now back in Tokyo for the summer vacation. The year at Penn State was very exciting and I really liked the beautiful environment of Pennsylvania. However, I still could not give up my dream, which was to study nutritional science at Cornell University, even after I started the college. So I decided to apply to Cornell again as a transfer student. I did not expect to be accepted at all (had no confidence) but I tried anyway. Today, my dream came true. Believe or not, I received an acceptance letter from Cornell. I am very happy and excited to start studying in a whole new different environment. I’d like to thank many OES faculty, especially Cynthia Doran and my good friends from OES for their continu­ ous support for my life. Thank You! 29 �IN MEMORIAM r i In Memoriam i | Virginia insley ’29 March 21, 2003 | From the Washington Post | Virginia Insley, 91, a retired medical social services section chief of the Public Health Service’s maternal and child health services division, died March 21 at her home in Washington after a stroke.

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, t Peter W. Stevens ▲ Director ofAdmissions Sue Nico! and Headmaster Peter It/. Stevens visited with Mrs. Sun Hyang Park and Dr. Jae Kyu Park at the Institutefor Par Eastern Studies at Kyungnam University in Seoul, Korea during their recent trip to the Far East in December.

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 WINTER 19 9 2 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 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 preparatory, liberal arts curriculum to students in pre-school through high school. Classes are small, and the pace is challenging.

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 can concentrate on teaching students how to solve problems and how to find the information when they need it. 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. �WINTER 19 9 2 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. 5 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. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �WINTER 19 9 2 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.” - Peter W. Stevens 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 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 6 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. f �W I N T E 9 9 1 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. R 2 ▲ Whats a mock public hearing without mock protestors? Led by The Rev. Corbet Clark, a pro-fish group noisily interrupted the salmon debate to lobby for thefish They were "asked to leave" amid much cheeringfrom the audience and some consternation from the presenters. 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. Science teacher honored by alumnus’ college OES US science teacher Bill Lamb was honored at Harvey Mudd College’s (HMC) first annual Teacher Recognition Program Saturday, January 25 through Monday, January 27, 1992 in Claremont, California. Honorees received transportation, travel arrangements, accommodations and meals while at Harvey Mudd. The program is designed to honor teachers who have been made an impression on former students. 7 Freshmen at HMC are asked to name the teacher who most strongly influenced their US education. Former OES student, Josiah Brown ’90, listed Bill as that significant person. During this celebration of excellence in secondary school teaching, Bill spent time with both Harvey Mudd faculty and students in forums, workshops, classrooms and laboratories. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �WINTER 19 9 2 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." How should we encourage higher level thinking and reasoning skills that will be needed in the 21st Gift to fund enhanced development effort Four families of the School — Tony and Margie Adams, Peter and Missy Bechen, Bill and Bonnie Brod and Ed and Aurelia Hunt — have pledged a total of $100,000 to finance the planning and initial activities of a comprehensive development program targeted at attracting, challenging and reward­ ing great teachers at OES. The OES Program Development Committee, Chaired by Trustee Tony Adams, Board President Sean Gilronan, Treasurer Peter Bechen, parent Ed Hunt and past parent Bill Brod, will work with Headmaster Peter Stevens and the School’s new Director of Development to build funds and endowments to provide the non-tuition support necessary to make OES simply the best there is. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The Committee’s monthly meetings focus on developing and refining programs that will help attract outstanding candidates to the faculty, encourage them to broaden and update their personal and professional skills and reward outstanding teachers in ways that encourage and support them in their selfless chosen profession. regular budget and, for the first time, provide the sophisticated and detailed research and coordinated planning which a major long range plan requires. For several months, numerous committees have been working separately to develop policies and programs for OES/21 — Oregon Episcopal School for the 21st Century. The Development Program Committee’s efforts will extend to raising the funds neces­ sary for building the endowments and enhancing and improving facilities to help turn a plan into reality, to help a very good school evolve into a great one. ‘The generosity of these four families gives us the most thoughtful gift possible," Headmaster Stevens told the faculty. ‘They have given us seed money we can plant to become the roots from which a School greater than we ever envisioned before will grow. They know the quality of our School is determined by the quality of those who teach here. They are making it possible for us to develop ways to make teaching at OES more exciting, more rewarding and more effective. This is what greatness requires.” In the past, planning efforts have been delayed or restricted by the School’s need to devote almost all its current income to on-going teaching activities. The Committee members* gifts will supplement the Planning has been progressing steadily, and the initial plans of the Program Development Committee will be announced later this year. 8 �OES dedicates new tower for historic bell ▲ All OES students, faculty, staff, friends and special guests gathered to dedicate the new OES Bell Tower in a special outdoor ceremony led by The Right Rev.

Make maximum use of the School’s facilities 2. Support and promote the mission of OES 3. Attract to campus youngsters and their parents who might not otherwise know much about OES 4. Provide summer employment opportunities for OES faculty and alumni 5. Provide net income to augment the School’s operating budgets 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 sent OES 4th and 5th grade 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 OES. The School’s well-established “summer day camp” called Summer Wonder/ Summer Quest offered 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 special overnight campout. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL In addition, OES sponsored and hosted a number of programs, camps and meetings on campus, making a marvelous start toward achieving the program’s goals: • Upper School Algebra, Geometry and Advanced Algebra for academic credit • Soccer Camp for ages 8-13 And speaking of teachers, the School employed 12 OES faculty and staff members who earned in excess of $11,000 beyond their school year salaries. We also provided work experi­ ence for 5 current OES students and 2 alumni and hired 12 non-OES staff to fill 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. �WINTER 19 9 2 AARDVARK FUN PARK There is a rule in publishing: if you want to test the accuracy of a list, publish it, because no list is ever perfect until it has been seen by all those who should be on it, but are not.

She enjoys returning to OES each year with the Blood Mobile, usually working as a “floater" — a volunteer who has been trained to cover all Blood Drive positions. 1 A 'minim Six 1991 grads honored 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, Lilith Hayakawa and Jessica Sankey qualified for the AP Scholar Award by completing three or more AP Exams with grades of 3.00.

Most of the nation's colleges and universities award credit and/or placement for grades of 3.00 or higher, and more than 1200 institutions award a year of credit to students with a sufficient number of qualifying grades. There are 29 exams in 16 disciplines, each with multiple choice and freeresponse (i.e. essay or problem­ solving) questions. Congratulations, all!

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 W I N T E R 1 9 9 2 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. —Thomas Oxholm Chief Development Officer OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �WINTER 19 9 2 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.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 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.” Emily Abbott ‘90 - University of Edinburgh Henry Abbott ’90 - NYU Andrea Bell '91 - Scripps Elizabeth Bell '90 - Pomona College Steve Bonds '90 - Harvey Mudd Daniela Brod '89 - Tufts — University of Stokholm Josiah Brown '90 - Harvey Mudd Elizabeth Cooper ’91 - Mt.

Best known for his work with the Tasaday — a peaceful Stone Age people recently found in the rainforests of the Philippines — Nance shared stories of his friend Charles Lindbergh to whom he referred as an early environ­ mentalist and a "great sentinel of change". Building on the theme of change, Nance observed, "We don’t see where technology is bringing us as we experience it, but we have to become more aware. We need to learn to think — to bring the best of the past into the future, thus learning from the past. ...OES offers and encourages the need to find lessons from the past so that we might synthesize the best of the past into the future... —Jolm Nance 'This is what OES offers and encourages — the need to find lessons from the past so that we might synthesize the best of the past into the future.’’ During the pre-luncheon social, peppered with good wishes and stories of their days at The Hall, guests savored an opportunity to review a display of memorabilia that included old photographs, uniforms and annuals. Following the luncheon, guests enjoyed a special performance by the OES choir, directed by US music teacher Barbara Vardanega. ▲ OES Headmaster Peter Stevens greets Audry McCall, wife offormer Governor Tom McCall at the Founders' Day Luncheon.

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."

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. THE °ES .

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. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL A OES Headmaster Peter Stevens makes time every Wednesday to spend in the classroom—reading to a kindergarten class, as above, playing basketball, participating in discussions and visiting. 2 �THE OES Spring Revels set for May 15 On May 15, 1993, the OES com­ munity will gather in support of the faculty and staff at the second annual “Spring Revels”. The goal for the evening dinner auction is $85,000, half of which is targeted for the growing perma­ nent endowment which annually supports faculty and staff professional growth and develop­ ment. The other half will be added to the following year’s budget for conferences, graduate study, professional leave, research and collaborative teaching efforts.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 4 �=» 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. WINTER 19 9 3 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.” The crowd of well over 400 specta­ tors was treated to a hard fought, well played game, with both stu­ dent bodies cheering and encour- 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. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 5 �WINTER 19 9 3 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL for THE 21st CENTURY Policy Goals I and II from The Strategic Plan OES will develop and implement a PreK-12, college preparatory, articu­ lated curriculum with increasing emphasis on international and expe­ riential education and living skills appropriate to contemporary society.

SEPTEMBER 1992 �WINTER 19 9 3 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. I ! 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. ■I I I ! i ■ I On October 15 and 16, more than 50 students representing three middle schools and six high schools met at the OES Sports and Recreation Center (SPARC) to con­ tinue their anti-discrimination train­ ing in preparation for the Anne Frank Workshops on November 7. Squeezed in between discussions on sexism, classism, ageism, racism and what it’s like to attend an independent school or a public school, were a few rounds of soc­ cer, basketball, trust falls and fun games. Students practiced their skills with approximately 50 third graders and 50 sixth graders at OES in preparation for returning to work with students in their own schools. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL US students from OES participat­ ing in City Club this year include Cameron Stewart, Cathy Huynh, John Harwood, Matthew Slater, Shane Hoffman, John Lamb, Heather Patsis, Daniel Drinkward, Gabe Lipshutz, Woody English, Jon Reali, Joel Sankey and Courtney Voelker. Transcend video group investigates discrimination ▲ OES Sophomore Courtney Voelker asked Portland Police Chief Darryl Potter bow he planned to educate and involve young people in com­ munity policing at a November City Club meeting. OES students attend­ ed the luncheon as part of the City Club’s Youth Forum, an outgrowth of Project Transcend. Chief Potter suggested that students look to schools in their neighborhoods, where they could read, mentor and set an example for children ‘Show them how they can make a differ­ ence, " he said. Project Transcend kids attend City Club meetings Youth Empower Youth Young people have skills and know how to solve problems to make their communities a better place for everyone. Over 30 high school students from eight different public and independent high schools are living proof of this fact. Having completed Project Transcend as The MS students participating in the Leadership segment of Project Transcend this year will all have the opportunity to accompany the Upper School (US) students, at least once, to the City Club to see what it’s all about. Over 20 of these same students compose the City Club’s Youth Forum. They attend City Club Friday meetings and standing committee sessions, and they plan to develop a Friday program to present during this school year. 8 The 16 video component members of Project Transcend are hard at work designing their production and learning ways to use the equipment more effectively. These eighth grade GALA (Government and Language Arts) students have decided upon a Town Hall format to investigate the origins of dis­ crimination among middle school students. In an effort to gain a bet­ ter understanding, they hope to include a tape session with a class from an inner city middle school. The video artist advisor is Sharon Genasci, who has previously worked with groups of OES stu­ dents. The class has elected Hedy Black as Coordinator, Sam Rogoway as Director and Brian Reeves, Nancy Pickering and Sarah Morse as Narrators. All stu­ dents are practicing with equip­ ment from the Northwest Film and Video Center. Ultimately, this video will be avail­ able for middle schools in Portland to use as a kick-off for discussions about discrimination. �Science writer explores new simulated worlds with students WINTER 19 9 3 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. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �WINTER 19 9 3 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. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 10 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.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 11 ��r i Show Tell OES Juniors begin school year helping others Ponies, puppies, parents and students gather to celebrate St. Francis Day Most high school juniors spend the first weeks of Sept­ ember juggling algebra text­ books and locker combinations while catching up on the news from classmates. During their first week of school, OES jun­ iors juggled paintbrushes and garden gloves during the day and then prepared dinner for their classmates and teachers. Traditionally, OES juniors begin each school year with a class trip based on community service. In an effort to make their efforts more tangibly beneficial this year, juniors and class advisors chose to work on a number of projects located in Portland: ■ constructing a playhouse and wall mural for the YWCA Transitional School ■ painting a wall mural at Holy Redeemer School ■ painting Reach Community Development apartments for low income and formerly homeless residents ■ painting the house and yard­ work for an elderly couple through Project Linkage ■ building bookshelves for St. Francis Dining Hall’s after school program for homeless children ■ painting for Peace Lutheran Church’s new after school program Coordinated by OES Director of Experiential Education Christina Meyerhoff, the trip is designed to help students see how, as individuals and as a class, they can make a positive impact in the greater world around them. Students in Pre-K through Grade 5 brought a menagerie of special friends to the OES campus on Tuesday, October 6, to celebrate St. Francis Day. Students and parents gathered with their furry, feathered and scaly friends—dogs, cats, rabbits, birds arid, this year, even a pony—for the annual special bless­ ing which commemorates the life of St. Francis of Assisi, one of the most popular and admired Christian Saints. Chaplains take the opportunity provided by this chapel to talk about all of God’s creatures and their need for our love and care. Though the St. Francis Day celebration has traditionally included only the Lower School, this year, all students were invited to attend. On the opposite page, Lower School Chaplain LouAnn Pickering quietly blesses a pet rabbit in the middle of joyful (and orderly) pandemonium. ◄ One Fifth Grader, Ch risty Brinega r, brought her ponyfor the special blessing— and for classmates to ride. The Rev. Stephen Schneider did the honors with a smile. 13 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." �I i /V7 It enhances fun. It gets a job done. Not just important, It takes teamwork—even J I * 1 i i Three selected for Rotary exchanges hree OES students, Cassie Langdale, Margaret Stearns and Shannon McCoy, have com­ pleted the competitive qualify­ ing process for selection as Rotary Exchange students for the 1993-94 year. Provided they meet the remaining requirements established by Rotary, Cassie. Margaret and Shannon will leave the United States in August to spend next year abroad. Between now and that time, they will attend intense orien­ tation courses which prepare them for the experience. Though they may list their top three choices. Rotary Exchange students usually do not learn which country they will be vis­ iting until April. (Please see related story on page 16.) CHILDREN’S AUTHOR VISITS NOV 9 Funded in part by proceeds from October's OES Bookfair, renowned author/illustrator Keith Baker visited OES on November 9. In addition to autographing books, he spoke to students in PreKindergarten through Grade 5 about where he gets ideas and discussed his work with Middle School students. He also talked to Upper School art students about book illustration as a career. A Northwest native and recipient of numerous honors and awards, he is the author/illustrator of The Dove’s Letter (1988), The Magic Fan (1990) and Who is the Beast? (1990).

November election becomes learning opportunity Throughout the School, teach­ ers used the recent national and local elections as an excel­ lent instrument for teaching about our country’s electoral process, as well as making choices. Students gained experience while looking at emotional issues and intense campaign tactics. Only a few Upper School (US) students were eligible to vote on November 3, but all had a chance to express their opin­ ions on candidates and mea(Continued on page 15.) 14 �but critical, teamwork is part of every successful life, for the OES Annual Fund. sures in a student mock elec­ tion held the week before. Out of an 85% turnout, most results in the US mirrored actual statewide results with Bill Clinton edging Ross Perot for President, Bob Packwood win­ ning and Measure 9 defeated. The US presidential vote was part of a national student vote, with OES as one of two high schools representing Oregon. An election forum assembly helped stimulate high interest in the student activity. Middle School students also held a mock election, but voted for Perot. J/ The Lower School (LS) held several mock elections, and on Tuesday, November 3, the Fifth Grade helped organize an elec­ tion for President. All Lower School students, registered and voted their ballots at the polls outside Room 10. After tally­ ing, LS Head Harvey Zendt determined that there was no clear majority. Using the United States Electoral College system as a model, they tried again with each class having a specific number of votes. Still no winner! Continuing to use the national model, each homeroom sent a representa­ tive to vote, and George Bush was declared the winner. 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. ◄ Halloween isfor disguises and dressing up.

Primary) had just as much fun as the students. �WINTER 19 9 3 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. i I i> i “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. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 16 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.

Childhood lasts longer. ” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 17 �WINTER 19 9 3 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. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 18 �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." 19 WINTER 19 9 3 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." OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �WINTER 19 9 3 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.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 20 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 solution, “They compromised as they always did and went to Alaska.” They arrived in M Ketchikan, at that time just a small fishing H village, where Ruth H was born. Once there, they discovered their i| home was a lean-to H shack built out over the ■ water. During their time in V Ketchikan, they built both V a house and church. Rev. V Jenkins was asked to act as the Alasakan representative to the Pan Anglican W Congress in England, where ' he was entertained by the King and Queen. 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 ings for the family from furniture that survived the 1914 burning of the Vista Avenue St. Helens Hall School building. �After graduating from U of O in A TEACHING CAREER ST.

(Continued.) 21 WINTER 19 9 3 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �WINTER 19 9 3 ▲ As recipient of the 1992 Distinguished Alumni Award. Muriel Gabriel Heltzel 30 pre­ sented the 1992 Award to Ruth Jenkins '20. When her hard work paid off in the creation of a school with high scholastic rank and sound financial footings, Miss Jenkins felt it was time to move on to a new chal­ lenge, and she became the Headmistress for The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, California. Although she was denied a seat at the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in 1949, because she was a woman, Miss Jenkins was the first woman elect­ ed to the vestry of her church of St. James-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, La Jolla. When Ruth left Annie Wright, a handsome silver bowl was pre­ sented to the school, to become a permanent annual trophy, with these words, “The Ruth Jenkins Bowl is to be presented to the girl...who best exemplifies the qualities of Ruth Jenkins. It shall be given to a girl who sincerely works hard and plays fair, with a sense of humor in all aspects of her life. She shall be one who best follows Ruth Jenkins’ hopes and ideals, and who goes from strength to strength.” A sincere sense of fair play, an ever present willingness to work hard, tremendous determination, a sympathetic and understanding nature—these qualities explain Miss Jenkins’ continued popularity with students. At 92, Miss Jenkins has many accomplishments to her credit— Board memberships have included Scripps Hospital, Charles Wright Academy, the National Association of Episcopal Schools and the College Entrance Examination Board; various offices held include President of the National Association of Episcopal Schools, Chairman for the Membership Committee of the National Association of Principals of Schools for Girls and Vice President of the Diocesan Council. MISS JENKINS RETURNS TO OES CLASSROOMS Following her acceptance of the Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award, Ruth Jenkins visited the OES campus, taking time to sit down and chat with 8th graders, who have been studying the topic of aging. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL She began by telling them that her first teaching job had been with 8th graders. “At your age, you 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 vive. You’ll love them. They’re real people.” 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 like it. “I’ve had five hip replacements and a shoulder replacement. You learn to live with these things. You keep a good spirit, make the best of things and have wonderful memories.” OES honors Distinguished Alumna, features Portland Superintendent I Members of the OES commu­ nity—alumni, trustees, faculty and friends—gathered November 18, at the Multnomah Athletic Club to commemorate the 123rd anniver­ sary of the School’s founding and to celebrate its rich history. At the annual luncheon, OES presented Ruth Jenkins ‘20 with the Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award. This annual award recognizes St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School alumni who, through their commit­ ment and service, have achieved significant successes in their pro­ fessional careers and/or have made outstanding contributions in the community. Miss Jenkins was Headmistress for many years at both The Annie Wright School in Tacoma, Washington and The Bishop's School in La Jolla, Cali­ fornia. The OES Alumni Association accepts nominations each spring. New Portland Public School Superintendent John E. Bierwirth, E. Ed., gave the luncheon address on Independent and Public Schools Working Together for the Good of Education at this year’s celebration. (Please see related stones on pages 19-22.) OES founding Bishop started several schools in Northwest When OES awarded its Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award to Ruth Jenkins *20 in November, the School was recogniz­ ing a long line of educational service embodied in St. Helens Hall and 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 pany indeed," says current OES Headmaster Peter Stevens. 22 ;• �Teams compete in first annual Alumni Soccer Tournament On Saturday, September 12, alumni from the classes of 1967 to 1990 formed teams and turned out to play in the first annual Alumni Soccer Tournament on the OES campus. The tournament, an expanded version of the annual alumni soccer game held during Country Fair, was the brainchild of OES Athletic Director Kris Van Hatcher '70. Alumni came from as far as New York (Brent Erensel *74), Philadelphia (Drew Erensel *73) and Sacramento (Kannes Noack '73) to play! “We even recruited our coach, John Hicks,” exclaimed Kannes. Competition was tough during the half-field, round robin games. In the end, alumni on the 1986-88 team were crowned champions during a post-game cookout for players, families and friends. “I was really pleased with both the enthu­ siasm and participation — it was a great afternoon,” said Kris. Look for the second Annual Alumni Soccer Tournament next September. HWW▲ A plaque honoring thefirst annu­ al Alumni Soccer Tournament Championship team hangs in the Alumni Center.

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 N S I D E !

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

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

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

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

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

IV. 13th Avenue and Hall Streets. 1906 Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris, the founder of St. Helens Hall, dies at the age of 87. 125years ago.. The Lundgren and South Families When Kim and Reidun Lundgren were faced with busing their children too many miles from their home in Camp Sherman, they simply moved to Portland and enrolled them at Oregon Episcopal School. The catch is that they still commute home to Camp Sherman on the weekends. “It seemed natural that we would send the children here," Reidun explains. The Lundgrens’ son Tor attended OES for the eighth and ninth grade, and is now in boarding school on the East Coast. Kari, the Lundgrens’ daughter, is an eighth grader at OES. Part of what is “natural” about the Lundgrens’ sacrifice is that Kari happens to be the grand­ daughter and grandniece of St. Helens Hall graduates, and the cousin and classmate of John and Kristina South, who are in the fifth and sixth grade. Kari, John and Kristina are the grandchildren of Evelyn Zehntbauer Lundgren ‘32 and their great-aunt Elizabeth ▲ Elizabeth Zehntbauer Zehntbauer Inman graduated Inman '3d in her St. Helens from the hall in 1934. Halt graduation photo. When Evelyn and Elizabeth Zehntbauer attended St. Helens Hall in the 1930’s, “SHH was simply the best school to go to—there was no comparison,” says Evelyn, who attended the School from the ninth through the twelfth grade and graduated in 1932. “It was the best edu­ cation I ever had, even better than college at the University of Oregon.” Elizabeth attended the Hall from the seventh through the When Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris founded St. Helens Hall in 1869, he could hardly have anticipat­ ed its remarkable evolution over the following years. Along with the world, which saw the invention of the tele­ phone, the first internal combustion engine, the first manned flight by airplane, television, the nuclear bomb, the first man on the moon and the laptop computer, the school that was St. Helens Hall and is now Oregon Episcopal School has under­ gone many changes. Its student body has evolved from single­ sex to coeducational, it has been housed on four campuses and it has held five different names. Through all of these changes, however, Oregon Episcopal School in 1994 retains many of the values and traditions of St. Helens Hall in 1869. As Sally Reed Stout *30 said in her history of the School, The First Century: “...the remarkable characteris­ tic of St. Helen’s Hall was the quality of the school, the superior educational, moral and religious aspect of the instruction." It is the endurance of these qualities even today, in its 125th anniversary year, that contributes to the loyalty of its alumni body. That loyalty is displayed in many ways, ranging from financial contributions to volunteer service. One of the most touching and lasting ways by which alumni show their support and devotion to the School, however, is by sending their own children here. A legacy is defined as some­ thing of value that is handed on to others. Our legacy families, some of whom have members who attended, at different times, St. Helens Hall, the Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School, embody the strength and resilience of our School. 8 �1914 Fire sweeps the School at its Vista-St. Clair address. Only the south wing remains but classes continue to be held and boarders arc housed in an Episcopal residence on 19th and Everett. 1918 The decision is made to lease the old Portland Academy building on 13th and Hall Streets and use this location as the site for the elementary and high school. 1919 St. Helens Hall cele­ brates its 50th anniversary, staging an elaborate pageant in honor of the occasion. 1921 The Board of Trustees of St. Helens Hall decide to purchase the 13th and Hall property, and the grounds are developed and improved. 1924 An official school uni­ form is required for all St. Helens Hall students for the first time. ▲ St Helens Hall occupied ivycovered buildings at their 13th and Hall sitefor almost fifty years.

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

Lansing Kempton.) 1932 SL Helens Hall Junior College is opened as the first accredited junior col­ lege in Oregon.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

She lives in Salinas, California, with her husband of 30 years, retired neurosurgeon John P.

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.

We know that for each generation of students at St. Helen’s Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, and Oregon Episcopal School it has been the extraordinarily high quality of the teaching and the warm personal relationships with faculty that have been the hallmark of students’ experience. That tradition continues. Jack O’Brien represents a group of teachers who have been here for many years, personifying the values and culture of the school. These faculty set the tone for newcomers, eagerly welcome back alumni with whom they often keep up lively correspondence, and insure that the mission and traditions of the school are passed to the next generation of students. We are all deeply in their debt. Peter Langley represents the new. Rob Brisk, Head of Upper School, offered the biology position to Peter after an extensive, worldwide search. We have, in Peter, a highly experienced biology expert, dedicated to student research, committed to the values of the school, and eager for the kinds of relationships with students that the OES culture fosters. The articles by Debby Schauffler and Lisa Lockwood demonstrate the full range of activities in which our faculty engage on behalf of students. Debby’s wide knowledge of the classical world was greatly enriched by her summer experience. Because of her insight and her excellent writing skills, she was chosen from the whole group to write the definitive article about the trip for the sponsoring organization. Lisa’s trip indicates her commitment to students and to experiential learning outside as well as within the classroom. These are but a few samples of great teaching and learning that happen daily at OES. We invite all of you to come and visit our classrooms at all levels of the school. You will wish you could be in school again yourselves! Yours, Dulany O.

A Profile ofJack O’Brien, Chair of the Performing & Fine Arts Department On September 6, 2000, Jack O’Brien began his 21st year at Oregon Episcopal School, one of only a handful of teachers who have been at OES for 20 years or more. In an age where teaching has become an endangered pro­ fession, one wonders what moti­ vates a person to devote himself to teaching at the same institution for so many years. For Jack, the answer is simple: Relationships. “It’s the ability to form close rela­ tionships with people that makes OES a special place to teach,” said Jack. "I enjoy being able to relate to my students one-on-one, some­ thing that is hard to do in a school with thousands of students. I have also had the pleasure of working together for years with a wonderful group of colleagues, who have stayed for many of the same rea­ sons I have. It is so nice to work with people that you respect and who are genuinely good people.” Jack moved to Portland in 1979, fresh from California where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland and the Art Institute of San Francisco. His first assignment at OES was driving an OES school bus, a part-time job which allowed him the freedom to pursue a career in the arts. How § < 1 r 7 g J; t I J? it 9 .'I does an artist-turned-bus driver become Chair of the Performing and Fine Arts Department? Jack attributes this life-changing event to one man; then Upper School Head Jim Dowell. Jim seemed to sense that somewhere beneath the surface of this aspiring artist/bus driver lay the instinctive qualities of a great teacher. “I had never, ever once thought about being a teacher,” said Jack. “Not through high school, college, even driving the bus. But Jim saw something in me that I didn’t know was there, and he thought he’d take a chance on me. So I got enough kids who were interested, and started teach­ ing a stagecraft activity. We didn’t have a shop, didn’t have any tools, and didn’t know exactly what we were doing. But we did it. We learned a lot those first couple of years, and I gradually started teaching more courses until the position of chair opened up.” Jack has since gone back to school and earned a graduate degree from the University of Portland in scenic design. Each year, he teaches classes in film and video, drawing, stagecraft, paint­ ing, and Theatre Troupe as well as directing several plays. By even the most conservative estimates, Jack has touched the lives of over 2,000 students. Today, these students can be found pursuing careers as scientists, CEOs, graduate stu­ dents, college students, and yes, even artists. Over the last 20 years Jack has been involved in the production of over 50 plays in the Great Hall, a challenge in itself. “Producing a play in the Great Hall is a mixed blessing,” claims Jack. “We have to build the complete set in the shop at SPARC, then totally break it down, truck it up to the Great Hall, and re-assemble it.

Year One ... A Profile of Peter Langley, Upper School Biology In September 2000, OES wel­ comed ten new faculty members to its community. No one traveled as far to be here as Englishman Peter Langley, who has spent the last sixteen years teaching in interna­ tional schools around the world. Peter arrived at OES fresh from six years in Switzerland, where he taught various levels of high school science at The American International School of Zurich, Switzerland. Prior to Zurich, he spent ten years teaching science to high school students at the Yokohama International School in Japan. “I love international teach­ ing,” said Peter. “Ten years in Japan, followed by six years in Zurich, and now OES, which for me - a British citizen - is still an inter­ national experience!” What brings a teacher halfway around the world to Oregon Episcopal School? “I find OES pos­ sesses many of the assets I look for in a quality school,” said Peter. “First of all, the Science depart­ ment is very strong, which is of particular importance to me as a biology teacher. The school has a fine reputation, and during the interview process I found the peo­ ple here were very fair, welcoming, and genuinely proud of their school. They were quite keen that I would like the experience here. Additionally, and most importantly, I sensed that the school has strong leadership and vision. Dulany Bennett, the Head of School, has a clear and strong vision for the school. Bill Lamb, Chair of the Science Department, has a driving ambition for the sciences at OES that includes an innovative research component and brand new facilities. I like that very much about this school - it gives the school a specific distinctiveness and passion." Peter was born in the northwest of England in the county of Lancashire. He went off to boarding school on an island north of Wales at the age of 8. “I found the experi­ ence to be extraordinarily nervewracking at first,” said Peter. “But the weight of generations was behind me. You accept it because this is what your parents, your grandparents, and their grandpar­ ents have done for generations before you." As a teacher, he has continued to be associated with independent schools, finding the environment suits him quite well. “I love the spirit of independent school teaching," said Peter. “I enjoy the variety, the contact with students and peers. It never gets boring." Peter loves teaching and the opportunity to possibly light a spark in one of his students. “You often have a day when a particular continued on page 6 COUNTING 5 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 Jack O’Brien continued from page 4 have to build it extra strong due to the fact that 240 kids are around and on it all the time. The positive side is that when we re-assemble the set over the weekend, the stu­ dents return on Monday to discov­ er a magical transformation, such as a two-story Athenian Hotel appearing out of nowhere. That’s nice because it attracts kids who may not have expressed any inter­ est in theater before to the activity or program. Unfortunately, the space is very confining. It limits the variety of stage configurations, turns the library and classrooms into dressing rooms and isn’t a very comfortable place for audi­ ence members to watch a play.” Jack is also involved in scenic design work for various regional theater companies such as Artists A (above) Jack O’Brien, then, with John Porter 87 ... ◄ and now, with Leslie Colip '99 Peter Langley continued from page 5 subject is touched on and all the ears prick up and you’ve got their antennae pointed towards you and you have their undivided atten­ tion,” said Peter. “That’s a great moment. And you never know with your students - you may or may not make a difference. It’s the great joyful unknown of a teacher that continuity of fire and interest that you have sparked in some­ body in your class, and it passes on to that person’s child in 20 years time, then down to the grandchildren and so on. You nev­ er know - but I think it happens.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Repertory Theater and Tygres Heart Shakespeare Company. This year he has cut back to an 80% teaching load to help better bal­ ance his work and life outside of OES. When asked to look ahead 20 years to the year 2020, Jack says the first thing he sees is a retired Jack O’Brien. But he hopes that he will see the addition of a performing arts building for theater and music. “I’ve seen the art facili­ ties improve dramatically from the days in Scott House when we used dorm rooms for art studios,” said Jack. “I’d like to see the per­ forming arts have a permanent place to call home. But I hope that I will also see a school where stu­ dents continue to connect with their teachers the way they do now. I think it is the one thing that really separates us from any other school and makes the experience here unique. No amount of money or facilities will matter if that doesn’t stay the same.” Peter is looking forward to becom­ ing more broadly involved in the OES community beyond his role as a biology teacher. In Zurich and Yokohama, he indulged his love of the arts by participating in theater productions, singing tenor in the school choir, running speech con­ tests and organizing conferences. “I have a number of interests, and that’s one of the reasons I love ◄ The many faces of Peter Langley: (left) as Marley ’s Ghost, V (below) as a proper Englishman serving tea in the Upper School library. being in a school community,” said Peter. “There are great opportunities here to participate in all different types of activities. Peter Langley will be on this planet for only a limited number of years, and I want to make the most of them.” 6 �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 4 Faculty and Staff Celebrated ▲ Sue Larson and Lynne Sadler (absent: Jon von Bebren) ▲ Becky Tooley, Karen Murray, Lou Ann Pickering, Matt Lyon, Judy Lynch, Robbi Garvin ▲ Jack O’Brien and David Pace (absent: Allan Lehman) ► Debby Scbauffler, Carla Heckrodt, Hope Stevens, Cindi Marshall, Shelley Weiller, Cheri Yodota, Linda Brumfield OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 7 �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 New Faculty Faces LOWER SCHOOL a inn // 4 Janet Schilling teaches Kindergarten.

Helen Pevzner is teaching choir and general music/choir for the Middle School. She has her BM (BA) from Kazakhstan College, her MM (MA) and PhD from M.l. Glinka Conservatory and a second MM from Portland State University. She has been conduct­ ing youth choirs in the USSR and the US for the past 15 years and finds teaching middle schoolers an “exhilarating” experience. 8 Niki Scott is teaching Spanish in the 7th and 8th grades as well as joining the coaching staff in girls soccer. She has her BA from the University of Oregon. Since return­ ing from her Peace Corps service in the Dominican Republic in 1998, she has been teaching both adults and middle school students in var­ ious venues. �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 UPPER SCHOOL DAVID LOWELL New Lower School Assistant Head Diarmond (Dari) Bash joins us from Maryland where he was teaching in the Baltimore public school system. Dari holds a BA in Chemistry from Whittier College and will be teaching Math and Chemistry as well as coaching Volleyball. “I have truly enjoyed my first few months at OES,” says Dari. “I particularly like being a part of such a wonderfully conscien­ tious and responsible school com­ munity.” Peter Langley brings rich interna­ tional experience to our OES Upper School science department. Born in England, he joins us from The American International School of Zurich, Switzerland to teach Upper School Biology. Prior to teaching in Switzerland, he enjoyed ten years at the Yokohama International School in Japan. He moved to Portland this summer with his wife Kathyrn and 4-year-old daughter Olivia. (See article page 5.) Debbie Smith, who has worked with our mock trial team in the recent past, joins OES as a full time history teacher in the Upper School. Debbie received her BA from St. Mary’s College and her JD from the University of Oregon. She practiced law for four years before following her heart into the teach­ ing field. Debbie states, “Teaching history to high school students at OES is truly my dream job." John Walker joins OES as Director of Upper School Technology. He holds a BS from the University of Washington, and brings a wealth of knowledge and leading edge technology skills to the Upper School. He is looking forward to developing a number of exciting and innovative computer classes for our students during the coming year. 9 This fall, OES warmly welcomed former fourth grade teacher David Lowell as Assistant Head of the Lower School. David has been teaching at OES since 1995, where he found teaching fourth grade a wonderful experience. “Ac this age they have a raw enthusiasm for learning. They have basic skills and want to acquire knowledge.” He has a BA from Dartmouth College and an MA from Lesley College, and before coming to OES he directed several adventure camps and wilderness programs. When not in the classroom, David enjoys being outdoors. Depending on the weather he can be found at the coast searching for the perfect wave to surf, in the mountains working on backcountry skiing skills or hiking in some beautiful wilderness area. In his newly created position as Assistant Head, David will be assisting Head of Lower School Sidney Gold with teacher supervision and evalua­ tion, overseeing the Extended Care program, and other general adminis­ trative duties. “I feel fortunate to work at OES,” said David. “I am challenged by the complexity of the school and excited by working to solve the variety of problems that come my way each day. I am inspired by the leadership of the administra­ tion, excited by the learning teachers are facilitating in their classrooms, and appreciative of parents’ efforts to help their children become life long learners. There is nothing like partici­ pating in the education of children, helping them make new discoveries, develop new skills and exchange wonderful ideas.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 FACULTY ADVENTURES Two teachers bring new insights and perspectives back to their OES classrooms. Mideast Odyssey Debby Schauffler, Upper School Humanities “Look, the pyramids” I said to Karen. “Impossible. It has to be Las Vegas,” she said in disbelief. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL It was almost impossible to believe that we were actually in Egypt. We posed for a photo in front of the King Zhoser’s step pyramid, which was the first slide we had ever shown to our Humanities students when we taught together at OES in 1990. Karen Talus and I had taught together for nine years before she returned to New York. We had been reunited at the Middle East Institute, a whirlwind exploration of religion and interfaith dialogue in Athens, Cairo and Jerusalem offered by the Council for Spirituality and Ethics in Education. Twenty independent school teach­ ers and heads traveled together for a two-week exploration of religious and historical ideas and topics. One of the things that had attracted me to the program was the con­ nection of many sites to subjects and cultures that I teach every year: Egypt, Israel, Greece, Islam, Judaism, and early Christianity. This Institute gave me an incredible opportunity to gain a better understanding of reli­ gions and historical issues in the Middle East. It was experi­ ential education at its best - I have looked at maps of Egypt for years, but the reality of see­ ing the map-like line between dry brown desert and rich green fields next to the Nile was astonishing. Of course the Egyptians worshipped a river that could magically transform death into life in such an imme­ diately visible way. “How was your trip?” I had a hard time knowing how to say anything intelligent about the two weeks of the Institute when I returned. Usually I would pick an adjective: “Amazing. Exhausting. Incredible.” If my questioner waited a bit, I might add a qualifier: “Totally amaz­ ing. Really incredible." Usually the conversation moved on. If not, I could half-joke about the way we were never sure whether we were part of a sci­ ence project about sleep depri­ vation or one about dehydra­ tion. In fact, I found myself avoiding people who might ask me about the trip until I had had time to think more about it, later in the summer. Perspective helped. The distant view is, of course, easier to make simple that up close, people and places are more difficult and complex. From a distance, the Great Pyramid at Giza is smooth and triangular, nicely 10 postcard-like against the sky and desert. Up close, it is a made up of uncountable large, bulky stones. The shape is impossible to see when you are standing next to it the photo I took from ground level looks like a random jumble of rocks. The engineering, measure­ ment and planning that went into its construction become invisible. At the same time, you get a much better idea of their size, and the effort and communal power that went into the building, something that the distant picturesque view doesn’t provide. Probably we need both -distance and proximity- just as we need two eyes in order to focus and understand the world visually. Perspective was also a key to lis­ tening to and understanding reli­ gious ideas and beliefs. We met clergy, scholars, eccentrics, jour­ nalists, students and specialists, and tried to sort out all the many viewpoints. Dialogue between reli­ gions in the Middle East meant dia­ logue between Judaism, Islam and Christianity - not the more inclusive list of religions that American teachers are more used to. Our easy American viewpoints were challenged frequently. It is easy for us to talk about peace and equality; it is harder to talk about them with people who are, or feel they are, under attack. It seemed impossible, for example, to frame a question about women in Egypt, because the silence between the question and the answer was full of too many years of misunderstandings and assumptions and assumptions continued on page 12 �ABROAD Costa Rican Science Lisa Lockwood, Middle School Science & Humanities For nearly one month this past July, I had the rare and wonderful oppor­ tunity to live and study in Costa Rica with fifty fellow science teach­ ers from around the United States. I was accepted to participate in a summer program run by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation and the Organization for Tropical Studies, focusing on global climate change and the impact of humans on ter­ restrial and aquatic ecosystems. My study group had the good for­ tune to be assigned to the remote Palo Verde field study station in the dry tropical forest of the Guanacaste region and La Selva Biological Reserve in the Caribbean lowland forests. In effect, we stud­ ied half the month in a dry tropical forest and half the month in a wet tropical forest. While I will always remember the incredible richness of Costa Rica, from the abundance of rainforest life to the beauty of the land and people, some of the most impor­ tant things I learned in the program had nothing at all to do with Central America. Instead, these lessons came from being in the shoes of my students at their most stressed, most anxious to succeed, and most overwhelmed by seemingly incom­ prehensible amounts of new infor­ □ RD XP2 SUPER mation or academic requirements. At the same time, there was the joy of discovery, making new friends and living in an entirely new culture. There were night hikes through waist deep swamps, visits to the Dole banana plantation and the surrounding Nicaraguan worker compounds, predawn horseback riding across plains filled with hun­ dreds of wild horses, and watching the fiery eruptions of Volcan Arenal from hidden hot springs near the base of the mountain. The incredi­ ble diversity of the rainforest gener­ ated constant stimulation for “mini expeditions", discussions, inquiry or simply quiet times of reflection. And there was never a morning I slept past 5:30 a.m., due to the early light and the screaming howler monkeys in the trees just outside my windows. This was not my first trip to Central America. Previously I had taken 11 middle schoolers on a trip to Guatemala and Belize for the pur­ pose of exploring ancient Mayan ruins in addition to SCUBA diving off the coast of tiny Placencia. This was my turn to be a student, to experience living, travelling and studying with a group of colleagues from all over the United States. I can say with conviction, however, that my group functioned no differ­ ently than any group of middle schoolers I have taught or led. Given the sparse conditions and limited resources in these remote regions of Costa Rica, my group maintained a refreshingly juvenile sense of humor which included everything from practical jokes, to singing to our bus driver Fernando, to asking the same question at least four times because not every­ one was paying attention, to forget­ ting the items which we were ILFORD XP2 SUPER specifically told to bring out on field studies. FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 Of course, the academic focus of the program was quite demanding. For those that have ever experi­ enced Science Fair at OES, imag­ ine attempting to complete 4 sci­ ence fair projects in 3 weeks! We designed and performed our own experiments as inspired through the inquiry based learning process - starting with general questions and making them specific to our environment and objectives. Our days were spent working on both individual and group projects. At Palo Verde, I completed research papers on The Effect of Different Edge Types on the Abiotic Characteristics of Primary and Secondary Dry Forests and The Filtration Effects of Palo Verde National Park Wetlands on Rice Field Agricultural Run Off. At La Selva, my research papers included Activity Patterns of the Atta cephalotes (leaf cutter ant) Under Different Variations of Light on Native Tropical Plantation Trees and A Population Study of Dendrobates Pumilio off Primary and Secondary Forest Trail Systems. In all of my experiments, there was an emphasis on the iso­ lation and fragmentation of ecosys­ tems in the context of global cli­ mate change. I learned a tremendous amount about the dynamics of the rainforest and the importance of biodiversity within them. As with any intense academic experience, there were the times when our small groups weren’t working cooperatively because of different learning styles. There were times when the pressure to comcontinued on page 12 ILFORD XP2 SUPER �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 Mideast Odyssey continued from page 10 about assumptions. Sometimes even a question that sounded to us as though its answer should be a matter of fact -were there slaves in ancient Egypt? -was too loaded with potential offense that we felt like just not asking anything. Of course, being teachers, we kept talking, asking, exploring, and questioning. Perspectives and assumptions and opinions shifted as we traveled - and we traveled fast from place to place, from idea to idea. Often the contrasts and contradictions we experienced were overwhelming, though they were also sometimes very funny. When I turned my back on the Sphinx, I was facing the Funky Abouzeid Brothers knick-knack store and a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Walking the Stations of the Cross in Jerusalem, we saw an Internet cafe directly across from Station VII. When I think about the Institute, my brain is crowded with images and impressions to sort out among them a hoopoe bouncing about on the soft green lawn of a garden outside Cairo, the swinging chandelier in the Agia Ekaterina church in Athens, which shows that the Holy Spirit is present, the profound carpeted, marbled still­ ness and peace in the Al-Akhsa mosque, the rocky hillside on the outskirts of Jerusalem that hides Costa Rican Science OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL plete research became too much for people and they temporarily folded. There were times when the computers really did lose docu­ ments and people were forced to start from scratch, at that moment, at midnight before a paper was due. And as with any great adven­ ture there were a myriad of incred­ ible experiences - dodging scorpi­ ons on the way to the bathrooms, being hit with pieces of mango thrown by white faced monkeys, avoiding the deadly fer de lance snakes, listening to the Costa Rican crowd at an indoor soccer championship sing their national the site of Samuel’s tomb. These are things I will keep and sort for myself as I continue to reflect on my whole experience. They are also things that will enrich my teaching far beyond what I expect­ ed. The Institute was amazingly provocative of thought, helpfully troubling in the questions it forced me to think about, and fascinating in the problems it illuminated. I “A lot of what I liked best was the same thing I like best about teaching at OES - learning and thinking and laughing and answering hard questions as part of a group with a common purpose.” have no idea whether its most important effect on me was pro­ fessional or personal - probably, in the end, some sort of combination of the two - but like most of the best experiences of my life it was communal. A lot of what I liked best was the same thing I like best about teaching at OES - learning and thinking and laughing and answering hard questions as part of a group with a common pur­ pose. We were told in Athens that the Orthodox Church doesn’t believe that a priest who is alone can celebrate communion, and I guess I believe that people can’t truly learn alone. “Accept all offered boons” I read in the Tao Te Ching the night before I left to join the group in New York. I am deeply grateful to OES for the incredible commit­ ment it has to faculty growth and development - for the boon of education, of opportunity, of chal­ lenge that we have as members of this community. The Institute was expensive, and many of the other teachers in the group had not been totally funded by their schools as I was. I believe that the ultimate value to the school will make the investment pay off. In the Israel Museum, there is a tiny ivory pomegranate, four centime­ ters tall, with an inscription about or to the priests of Yahweh - per­ haps the only remaining physical object from Solomon’s Temple. Standing in front of it, I thought about all the gold and cedar and stone and decoration described in the Book of Kings, and then about this simple little kernel of history. I keep it in my mind as a reminder of a small thing that contains a large thing, or many large things, as my scrawled notes, my photos, my mental images, these words contain the whole of my experience. continued from page 11 anthem twice with such passion it sent chills down my spine, feeding chicken to a crocodile on the Tempisque River, milking cows at dawn in Palo Verde, and just learn­ ing about the people around me. My experience in Costa Rica was rich in many ways. It was about the science of inquiry, the process of asking and answering scientific questions, working with peers, and experiencing a variety of teaching styles. It was about observing a richness of species like nothing I had seen before, dealing with the anxiety of due 12 dates, trying to make laptops work in 100% humidity, and experienc­ ing the beauty of the Costa Rican culture. It is amazing how people can come and go from our lives. It is hard to believe that this incredi­ ble group of people with whom I shared, experienced and learned so much were a part of my life for just a month, yet they will forever be a part of my fondest memories of being a student again. I feel privileged to have participated in such a rewarding summer institute. �WELCOME NEW BOARD MEMBERS JULIE E. FRANTZ Julie E.

Although there is no “right way” to walk a labyrinth, most people find a pace and a purpose that suits their individual needs at the moment they step onto the path. The labyrinth is an ancient pattern found in many cultures and tradi­ tions throughout the world. They are often used for walking medita­ tion, and can be considered a metaphor for a journey, quest or pilgrimage. The Labyrinth is a spiri­ tual tool that helps reduce stress, quiet the mind and open the heart. The OES Community Labyrinth is now available for Open Walks on the second Monday of each month from 7 pm-8:30 pm. In addition, OES sponsors walks for Lower School Children and teachers every Tuesday morning from 7am-8am. ▲ Emily Carty '10 enjoying Spooktacular with her reptile friend. SPOOKTACULAR!

This is a trip I still enjoy, checking the wetlands, the golf course, Fanno Creek, the reader board, big trees and faces, familiar and otherwise, around the bell tower. There are several of us alumni with our children attending OES, involved in the daily (parental) routines of school life. I realize, however, that for most of us alumni, the school is more a part of our past than our present. This is natural enough, given that it is a part of growing up. Nevertheless, it’s worth revisiting the subject of our relationship to OES from time to time. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL It has been a real pleasure being engaged with the Alumni Board for the last several years. I have par­ ticularly enjoyed the opportunity to meet and talk with alumni whose experience with the school over a long reach of time provides histori­ cal perspectives. OES has not only existed under several other names over the last sixty and more years, it has changed outwardly very sig­ nificantly. It has also gone through times of troubles, of all manners, and times of glory and achieve­ ment. Yet, there are common themes which identify the school’s strengths over time, and these are reflected in the lives of its alumni. Among many of the people I've met is a set of common values: love for learning, compassion for people, commitment to service, high moral standards, sense of humor and love for life. I’ve met these people because they chose to come to an OES event, speak on campus, organize a class reunion, serve on school-wide committees or simply because they drove down Nicol Road to visit their school. If you haven’t thought about it recently, consider reshaping your relationship with OES. Join the Alumni Board’s effort to find the best ways to stay in touch with OES today and to support the school’s mission. We hope to see you at our upcoming alumni events, at any regular school event or simply sitting by the bell tower after a drive down Nicol Road. We are a part of OES, but only to the extent that we create a meaningful relationship to the school.

The survey was designed to help us evaluate how our alumni perceive their experience at OES. When asked to give OES a grade for the quality of its performance, OES received an overall grade point average of 3.75, with 74% giving OES an “A” grade. When asked what they liked best about their experience at OES, the top five responses were: • Exceptional faculty and staff who are personable, interesting, nurturing and care deeply about their students. • Small class sizes resulting in individualized attention. • The manageable size of the school, resulting in a caring community most conducive for learning. • High quality and standards of the academic program, creating an envi­ ronment where knowledge and learning is emphasized, valued and respected. • The ability to establish personal relationships with teachers and other students. Additional highlights of the survey are summarized in the chart below. ■ Agree ■ Strongly agree OES met or exceeded my expectations. 97% OES education represents substantial value in relation to tuition costs. 77% OES prepares its students well for college and the future. 80% OES strives for the full development of its students. 75% OES helps students recognize potential and reach goals. 62% 38% OES provides an atmosphere for making friends and estab­ lishing lasting relationships. 67% 28% OES balances academic learning with spiritual growth. 31% o Our school’s long history some­ times makes this question more complicated than it needs to be. We consider anyone who attend­ ed Saint Helen’s Hall, Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall, or Oregon Episcopal School to be an alumnus.

By gen­ erating income beyond tuition, the Endowment directly helps stu­ dents and teachers at Oregon Episcopal School through increased funding for student financial aid, faculty salaries, teacher professional development, and enrichment pro­ grams for students. A gift to Oregon Episcopal School Endowment allows the school to attract and retain teachers and students of the highest quality.

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

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 A AUTUMN 19 9 4 introductory program for juniors, called College Decisions, and throughout the academic year there is intensive, one-on-one advising for Seniors before, dur­ ing and after the college applica­ tion process. In an interview with The OES Belltower in its Autumn, 1992 issue, Cynthia reflected on the ways in which the School had changed—and remained the same—over the past 25 years since she joined the staff: OES has become a much more informal place. When Mrs. Fariss walked through the Great Hall 25 years ago, everyone stood up...Uniform regulations were rigid. And 25 years ago, no one would have dreamed of calling me Cynthia. Some of the best things have remained constant. This School has always had a sense of com­ munity—almost like a family. OES also has a love of—almost celebrates—the individual... And, I guess finally, we have a respect for learning. It’s one of our keystones. We are able to inculcate a love of learning. Today, Cynthia emphasizes that, like OES, her job as college counselor has evolved. ▲ Cynthia Doran counsels an earnest member of the senior class. "The emphasis at OES has always been on academic suc­ cess, and hand-in-hand with that emphasis is the desire for our stu­ dents to go to what is thought of as a ‘great college’,” Cynthia says. “But I also think that students today understand more than ever that they need to find a good match. They're looking for a col­ lege experience that is right for them as individuals." Sister Agatha Louise, the principal., was my favorite teacher. She was so firm, but so kind. The strict regimentation was only a part of the total experience, but helped me realize the importance of self-discipline. The Sisters were wonderful!

OES head­ masterfrom 1982 through 1990. T his is where "We" belong. We belong in a place that holds life’s stories both joyful and 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. —Homily delirervd by Middle School Chaplain Mike Devenney.

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, but made only minor changes to the house. Shirley and her husband Ralph have remodeled the house over the years since they bought it, but only under the original roofline. The dormitory for the girls from St. Helens Hall and the Junior College is now the mas­ ter bedroom, and the many Everglade, then and now. small bathrooms (which “never worked,” Shirley laughs) are now a galley kitchen.

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 Linn and Lake Oswego, and remains a flourishing watercolor artist, has many memories of her times at Everglade as a stu­ dent at St. Helens Hall. “I remember the Sisters used to pull their habits up and lie them behind their backs, to go out in the canoes and motor boat,* she laughs. “We had a lot of fun here!” AUTUMN 19 9 4 eating donuts with some students.

Participation, Top Facilities and Fun: A Winning Combination i OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL n the past twenty years since Athletics Director Kris Van 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 AllState 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 tv/o years. The success, Kris says, can be partly attributed to a variety of facility changes at the School. The new Yanagitani track, donat­ ed by OES parents Kazunori and Tei Yanagitani in 1988, the addi­ tion of SPARC during the same year, and the improvements to the School’s three outdoor soc­ cer fields have given the sports program an extra edge, in both practice and competition. Since Kris became the head of the program 10 years ago, he has also made a real effort to create a philosophy among his staff which reflects the belief that success in athletics is only part of the equa­ tion Participation and fun, he says, are just as important. He also emphasizes that a great deal of the success of the OES athlet­ ic program can be attributed to a staff that follows through on this 16 philosophy and brings it out in the students who participate. The “no cut policy" means that as long as students have the desire to play, they can be mem­ bers of a team and will play on a regular basis, regardless of their level of achievement. OES has had 80% participation over the past ten years, despite the chal­ lenge of balancing schoolwork and sports. “It’s got to be difficult," Kris acknowledges, "But I really believe that it makes the kids more organized overall, and gives them more energy." Another tribute to the success of the athletic program at OES came when four of its coaches— Kris, Coleen Conkey, Mike Devenney and Rich Sherwood— were named Coach of the Year on either the District or State Level during the 1993-’94 school year. “The bottom line is that OES is blessed with talented kids who are also really intelligent," Kris says. "Kids can get an excellent education at OES, as well as a strong athletic program, where they’ll play more and get more individual attention than at other schools." �AUTUMN 19 9 4 ; : ▲ The basketball team of 1933, which was undefeatedfor six years. ▲ St. Helens Hall students from the Ski Group of 1951 pose on Oregon slopes. and when everyone was in their rooms, the boy inside broke out and opened the dorm doors to several more boys who promptly partied with the girls!

For this issue of The OES Belltower, Cart Reynolds has written a story of the beginnings of their family's involvement with the School. The “second chapter" willfollow in the spring edition of the magazine. Fall 1994 signalled the beginning of the 125th anniversary of Oregon Episcopal School Throughout the past cen­ tury and a quarter; the loyalty of the School's former students, faculty, staff par­ ents and extendedfamilies has remained time, as a tribute to the strength of its acade­ mics and to the spirit within its walls. When my youngest daughter, Kathy, was graduated from the OES Upper School in 1971, my wife Mary and I calculated that our four children had been involved in over 50 years of education at St Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School! How did this happen, and what brought about such loyalty? One of the finest examples of this allegience has been displayed over the past five decades by the Reynolds family. Allfour children of Carl and Maty Reynolds were enrolled in and graduatedfrom the School during the 50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. Carl Reynolds and his father were both faculty members at St. Helens Hall Now, a new generation of Reynolds are attending Oregon Episcopal School. Lower and Middle School students Mackenzie and Margaret Reynolds are the children of Chuck Reynolds ‘70 BDH and his wife, Chris. Chuck was, himself, a member of the faculty of Oregon Episcopal School after graduating from Bishop Dagwell Hall A Carl Reynolds formerparent and faculty member, and grandparent of current IS student Mackenzie and MS student Margaret. Sadly, Maty Reynolds passed away on April 13, 1994, and will be missed by the 26 1 will have to start out by saying that it was my wife Mary who got me involved. It was she who was search­ ing for a pre-school for our second oldest daughter, Becky, and discov­ ered the St. Helens Hall pre-school on the old downtown campus at 13th and Hall Street. At this time our oldest daughter, Lydia, was attending a pub­ lic school on the East side of Portland, and Mary had joined their PTA Mary became aware that she was having problems in her class. We were about to move to the West side of town, and decided to try our daughter out in the 4th grade at St. Helens Hall, �S A Kathy Reynolds ‘71 O F A Margaret Reynolds. OFS Seventh Grader;• Daughter of Christine and Chuck Reynolds 69 BDH 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! 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- L A Mackenzie Reynolds. OHS Fourth Grader: Son of Christine and Chuck Reynolds 69 BDH 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. Fanss was brought back to take charge of St. Helens Hall in 1954. 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. 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. �12 5 O years My father, a pro­ fessor of sociology at Stanford University, had recently retired and returned to Portland where he had grown up. He and I undertook to clean up the School’s front entrance. We felled a number of trees, while Mary stood in the street to stop any traffic as one of the larger ones came down (I do A Carl and bis father Charles Reynolds, not remember that who was also a facult y member at the we had any permit School, clean up the front entrance of to do what we SHH uith helpfrom Rebecca (Class of were doing!). We 1967SHH) and Chuck (Class of‘70 cleaned out up the ROW. 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 F LOYALTY 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! 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’ stoty 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 PreSchool 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. A Maty and Carl Reyniolds with their son Chuck Reymolds 70 HD!I, in the 1990s.

In these pages, we bear witness to the ser­ vice and generosity of friends during 1993-9-1, squarely in the tradition that is a hallmark of our years. i it 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 die visionary dreams of the Master Plan come alive. Our enrollment of just under 700 stu­ dents met our strategic goals for the year. We have poured more atten­ tion into our physical plant. And we have continued growing our endow­ ment and other reserves to provide protection for the future. I add my admiration and thanks to Board President Elisabeth Lyon's tributes to our superb volunteers, with whom we have flourished. And I particularly applaud our faculty, who are, as Elisabeth boasts, the heart of our School. The quality of their lives at OES and their dedication to children exemplify our 125-year tradition of teaching and learning. The Rt. Rev Robert L.

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 the efforts and the generosity of many people. B y l 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 uc m ▲ Board President Elisabeth /. Lyon and her son.

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 recordsetting $117,000! And we all will long remember that evening and the fun of being “Wild Things!' With the talented leadership of Pat Karumanos, the 1993-94 OES Fund reached a new high and exceeded $331,000! Sean Kuni ‘81 and the Alumni Association planned numer­ ous events, which brought even more alumni in touch with current life of the School. OES now has a school store, the inspiration and work of parents led by Darlene Kaempf. And thanks to the I2$th Anniversary Committee, co-chaired by Sheryl Acheson and Mendel 31 To our faculty I want to express my great appreciation They are the heart of our School. Many of the suc­ cesses of the past year are due to the commitment, work and leadership of both our faculty and our administra­ tion. I want to thank our Head, Peter Stevens, both for his management of ongoing operatioas 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, 1 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. 1 want to say a very special thank you.

In 1993, OES parents Mr. Chai and Mrs. Ing Sophonpanich graciously hosted the sec­ ond gathering in Bangkok. Thailand. Seoul Korea was the site of the 1994 meeting convened in May by OES Trustee and Pacific Rim Council Chair, Peter Bechen, and generously hosted by Dr. Jae Kyu and Mrs. Sun Park. As President of Kyungnam University in Masan, Korea and the Far Eastern Studies Institute in Seoul, Dr. Park arranged Council discussions in an international scholarly environment that was delightfully stimulating. The purpose of the Council is to offer advice on the long term goals of the School and its role as a 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 view s the importance of the boarding component in the implementation of the School's long range plans. Upon his return to Portland, Peter Bechen reported back to the ▲ Membets of the 1993-9-i Pacific Kim Adrisoty Council, which represents OES patents, international educators, and business leadets. and whose annual meeting was held in Koiva this past war. 53 \ & �: #■ ■I ' O Ji If JY ‘T ■■£ 'E 'R S Trustees of the discussion shared by Council mem­ bers The Trustees are very7 inierested in having ongoing discussions in the international community.

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 program also stresses leadership, Summerbridge and OHS heightened self-esteem, and creativity. The summer ses­ faculty member sions are complimented by school-year tutoring, coun­ seling, and enrichment to ensure comprehensive support. In addition to preparing middle school stu­ dents for success in high school. Summerbridge also serves as a training ground for a new genera­ tion of teachers. For our young faculty members, Summerbridge is a total immersion into the field of education. Summerbridge Ponland is modeled after the original Summerbridge program in San Francisco.

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 PLANNED GIFTS: YOU CAN AFFORD IT! 1 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. Yet there are causes or organizations which tug at our con­ sciences. those we really embrace and want to sup­ port. However, the con­ stant throb of unwanted requests creates negative conditioning. We just say no!" or think “dial 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, fhe picture has to be more complete. “Non-cash" $ IV 1 j\' Cj A D. Charles Alauritz is an aitonicy practicing unth Davis Wright Tremayne, and is thefather of Gwyn Alauritz Walker 87 and Britta Alauritz 94. 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 very 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 "Fhe 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. It 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 rale You can receive the income month- I a/ �w ly, quarterly, semiquarterly or annually. Generally, the charitable reduction goes down as the retained income rate and payment frequency go up. £ is 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). M T £ CA JV J\' rE rD 5 charitable deduction. They arc 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 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. The second key to release donnant 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 S7 } ivia'9 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 209 b 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 cany forward” the excess deduction and apply it against your tax- h �|F able income in the next five years. For example, if your total charitable deduction is S10,000 and 20% of your adjusted gross income is Sri ,000, then you can only use $4,000 of the deduction this year, but the remaining $6,000 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 Z issues are rarely confront£ ed again. On the other 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 A ‘T X a JY JY 'E ‘D at least partially the even­ tual beneficiary. Com­ munity foundations (i.e.. the 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. 5 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 die balance of the assets to charities at the conclu­ sion of the trust term can­ not be changed. Areas of flexibility do exist, but sec­ ond thoughts after the trust is in place cannot alter the The last variable is proba­ bly the one that truly pro­ vides the impetus for the whole arrangement. That is the identity of the chari­ table beneficiary or benefi­ ciaries. Many trusts are 58 ■m trust or the ultimate fulfill­ ment of its puqx>se. 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: take 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! £ �AUTUMN 19 9 4 CLASS College Plans Katie Adams Tulane University Joanne Bennington Rhodes College Jeff Chang University of Southern California Lillian Choi Claremont McKenna Todd Crawford Carleton Michele Duncan University of Puget Sound Elena Egorova Claremont McKenna Rachel Frank Brown University Kyle Freres Southern Methodist University Tyler Freres Southern Methodist University Eric Gebbie University of St. Andrews (Scotland) Alex Guerrero Portland State University Paul Hearn Lawrence University Martin Hellhake University of San Francisco A Graduates Tyler Freres, Toby Menely, David Moser and Martin Hellhake on the big day.

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 at 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 PCs 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 ol 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 2Lst 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.

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. Class reunions are held each June and this year we celebrated the classes ending in “4" and “9”. I was touched by the stories about World War II, in particular D-Day, which occurred close to their grad­ uation. One alumna remembers how calmly Bishop Dagwell announced the invasion and how he allayed their fears. Another classmate told of her fiancee who lost his life landing off Holland that same summer. Most recollections, however, were met with laughter and smiles. I hope in another 30 years my 50th class reunion is just as memorable. My graduating class of 1974 cele­ brated its 20th reunion this past summer. Eighteen out of 36 class­ mates were able to attend at least one event. Brent Erensel and Max Miller Jr. deserve much thanks for organizing the gathering. Our reunion was that much more joyful with the recent news that our classmates, Tanja Vaselijevic Horvat, was granted entry to the United States Tanja, a citizen of Saravejo, had been living in Germany with her daughter Ivana since escaping the war that has destroyed her homeland. OES offered Tanja, who is a trained doctor, the position of laboratory assistant in the science depart­ ment Without a job, Tanja and Ivana would not have been able to enter the United States. The OES Board of Directors, Headmaster Peter W. Stevens, the Development Office, the Rosenlund family, Max Miller Jr., Autumn Alexander-Skeen, John Wysham, Jenny Holden and others are to be thanked for their efforts concerning Tanja. Their concern, humanitarianism and actions exemplify the spirit of OES. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 62 This fall and winter also promise to be busy. Many activities are scheduled to celebrate the 125th. An example is the Alumni Lecture Series, which runs throughout the school year in conjunction with the programs of the OES Parent Education Committee. Guest speakers from our alumni ranks are scheduled to speak on a variety of topics. The Alumni Assocation extends a special invitation to all alumni, parents and friends of OES to attend the 1994 Founders Day Anniversary Gala. This year we honor Betsy Johnson, Class of 1969, with the Distinguished Alumni Award named in honor of the founder of St. Helens Hall in 1869, Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris. The award will be present­ ed during the Founders' Day Gala. Chet Orloff, Executive Director of the Oregon Historical Society will be our guest speaker and Gerry Frank will be our Master of Ceremonies. It promises to be an entertaining evening. Another anniversary event will be the appearance of actress and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Liv Ullmann, on December 8 Ms. Ullmann will speak on “Making the World A Better Place for Our Children," a very appropriate topic for the OES community. I am excited about this anniversary and I hope you are too! As always, your ideas and comments about how the Alumni Association can best serve the alumni community are welcome. �AUTUMN 19 9 4 ! i OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 63 �Opening Day Kicks Off the 125th!

A sense of urgency surrounds his personality. He has strong principles. Not satisfied with second best, he believes in allowing students to assume responsibility in order to benefit from the experi­ ence; a democrat and an idealist. Mr. Colberg has a wide variety of interests, ranging from records -- Beethoven, Pete Seeger, Bill Cosby, and marching bands -- to art -- the Renaissance to Pablo Picasso and Andrew Wyeth- - to books--the Old Testament to Ferlinghetti. Loving sports, especially basketball and football, Mr. Colberg's favorite team is Nebraska and his favorite football player is Gale Sayers. He is probably BDH's greatest frisbee player and one of the worst handball players. We, the first graduating class of Bishop Dagwell Hall, proudly dedicate the first yearbook to " DAC " Without his assistance and prodding some of us would not be going to college. We recognize Mr. Colberg's dedication to young people and by dedicating our yearbook to him we wish to say "thank you" for all of his time and efforts. THE CLASS OF 1967 : ! k i I 5 �I l ‘Dineotont, to t/ce Sutton, (tyz&i, 1*?67 Seldom during the span of a lifetime are we af­ forded the excitement, challenge and opportunity which has been ours during these first two years in the development of an institution which will carry on what we have begun through many years after we have all faded. From the "growing pains", the impatience in getting things accomplished NOW, the endless conferences and decisions, the strain of the battle to build BEYOND mediocrity will emerge a strong basis of academic and personal excellence of which we will all be proud. These have been demanding and sometimes frus­ trating years when you, the Seniors of 1967, young men, have had to be "older men" to meet the constant pressures which always accompany the privilege of being among the few to help establish the guidelines and traditions of a new organization such as Bishop Dagwell Hall. I consider myself particularly blessed to have experienced this growth with a group of out­ standing young men. Future years will bring back these memories to your minds and far more appre­ ciatively you will recognize the depth of your personal growth through this experience. This has been a memorable period in my life and undoubt­ edly you, the first graduates of B.D.H. will always remain in my thinking as THE class of The Hall. MR. C. MARVIN BURKE Director Mr. Burke came to BDH in 1965 originally as Dean of Students and then as Director in 1966. Though a native of Virginia, he went to high school in Ohio. He attended the University of Virginia where he majored in psychology and speech. After serving in World War II he became Dean of St. Catherine's School in Davenport, Iowa. Previous to his arrival at Bishop Dagwell Hall he was Dean of Students at Robert Louis Stevenson As you pass through the Senior Gate at Commence­ ment, you will move forward into the second major phase of your lives to face the new challenges, some discouragements, and, I trust, many rewarding and happy experiences. Some young men falter by the wayside before arriving at the milestone which you have reached... .you have fought the battle and won! New battles lie ahead and I urge you to stay strong and determined as you press forward to that "high calling" which is individually yours. Good luck, good judgment and God's blessing go with you. Mr. Burke through his untiring effort on the school's behalf and his extreme fairness has gained the respect of the entire student body. Under his confident leadership Bishop Dagwell Hall is well on its way to becoming one of the top college preparatory schools. 6 T'finn l l mill ill �J ADMINISTRATION DR. ROBERT H. AUGHTRY Dean of Academics Dr. Aughtry is responsible for the daily maintenance of Bishop Dagwell Hall's high academic standards. He came to BDH from Robert Louis Stevenson in California where he taught Biology. Especially memorable, is the unselfish counsel he has offered, his fairness in all disciplinary action and, above all, his consistent friendliness and good humor. MR. WILLIAM B. CHASE Dean of Students The new Dean of Students came to Bishop Dagwell Hall from Wayland Academy in Wisconsin. He also teaches General Science and Physics. Mr. Chase has inspired a feeling of "administrator-student equality" throughout the year. His consistent good spirit has contributed much warmth to the campus atmosphere. MR. JAMES T. CALDWELL Director of Athletics Mr. Caldwell is the school soccer and wrestling coach, and eighth grade History teacher as well as the mainstay of the Physical Education Department. His background includes two years teaching at Robert Louis Stevenson and various govern­ mental work. With Mr. Caldwell's (alias C.I.A-gent) dedication to Bishop Dagwell Hall athletics, the school may hope for excellent sports participation in future years. 7 �■ j"' BOARD OF DIRECTORS ► TOP ROW I to r DEAN O'RILLION, MR.

BEAL BURNS Saga Food Manager Mr. Burns, "the watermelon on toothpicks", is probably Sigma Alpha Epsilon's most loyal alum. His heart is always on the side of the students' welfare; the school's best diplomat. Dedicated to BDH, interested and anxious to help the school, he is always talking to people, be they SHH or BDH students from the junior highs to the high schools to the faculties and administratio ns. Mr. Burns is closely associated with campus life and will always be remembered a s an influential part of the first BDH years. MAINTENANCE MR. EARL BRUNT Superintendent of Maintenance and Operation Mr. Brunt, who is the Superintendent of Mainte­ nance and Operations, is a native of Fitchburg, Massachussetts. Before moving to Portland in 1962 Mr. Brunt lived in Florida for two years and then in North Port, Long Island where he worked as a janitor in a public school. He joined the St. Helen's Hall staff in 1964 and now heads a staff of seven men and two maids. In general, Mr. Brunt likes his work very much and he especially likes the students of BDH whom he calls "a very good lot". 13 �/ : r > • t THE CAN INDIVIDUAL DO NOTHING AND YET HE CAN DO EVERYTHING. Albert Camus i 1 �CBSs«; �CLASS OF 1967 This year's Senior Class is unique: we are the first. We are the first to graduate; we are the first to establish precedents; we are the first to be able to look backward and watch. We have been unique because for two years we have furnished the school's leaders. No one can deny that what has been DENNY CRAFTON President accomplished in the past two years has been with our help. We hope that what we have done, the traditions we have established, will be for the improvement of the school and those who constitute it. We have been narrow-minded, broaa- mi nded, selfish, and generous. We have added laughter to the school: may it endure. To typify the Senior Class of '67 would be a mistake. Our class is a jigsaw puzzle: in its entirety it is a unit with all w pieces interlocking and joined together, yet it is made up of individual pieces, of which no two even bear resemblence to each other. Thus it has been with our class-individuals united to form a whole that is unique. that, STAFFORD HAZELETT Vice-President in our pride, we should say that no class will ever be like ours. Yet with this, we would issue a challenge: let no other class be like ours. and It is natural enough for those to follow. Let each class pioneer for itself It is easy to follow in someone else's footsteps, but it is far harder and far better to make your own. For two years we have led and innovated. that we have done, by no means have we done all. For all To those who follow us, we bequeath not what we have done, but the spaces between what we have done, that they may be filled. ZSm It is our hope that this spirit may be continued and improved :J upon. : DENNY CRAFTON •1 16 TOM WALL Secretary - Treasurer �JAMES AUGSBURGER Portland, Oregon Reed College FRIAR . . PUNS . .

The eight sophomores of last year have grown to twentyone Juniors this year. The class officers for this year were: Greg Dye, President; DAVE SESSIONS President Dave Sessions, Vice-President; and Craig Honeyman, Secre­ tary-Treasurer. When Greg withdrew after the semester Dave Sessions assumed the Presidency and Nick Peachy became our new Vice-President The class's Student Counsel Repre­ sentatives were Dan Driscoll and John Flowerree. Growing with the number of students were the activities sponsored by the class. Last year a carnival was the big event. This year it was the Junior-Senior Prom, one of the most i ... •' SS important of all campus activities. Most of our attention this ► year was devoted to this formal dance which involved almost half the high school. The President appointed a special committee to aid in preparation for the Prom. Most of our in­ NICK PEACHY Vice-President come derived from the Junior Class Store located in the dormitory. In all our endeavors this year, we have received excellent help from our advisor Mr. Craigmiles who insured that the class was run well. As Juniors we look forward to our Senior year when we will take the responsibility of school leadership.

Dick Mackey, The purpose of the Student Council as stated in the Student Constitution is "...to provide a forum for student expression..." and that is what we have done through­ out the school year. We have been the sounding board for Student opinion of rules, conditions, and all aspects of student life on the campus. The Council consists of a president, vice president, secretary-treasurer, and two representatives from each class and from the Day Boy Organization and one representative from the 7th and 8th grades. The Council has sponsored several money-raising projects this year. Some of these projects were continuations of projects instigated by last year's Council, such as the annual candy sale. The over-all sales were down slightly from last year, but there was still a sizeable profit A side benefit, and something new introduced by this year's Council into the sale was the incentive of ten per cent of the profits to go to the class that sold the most candy. This added a good deal of spirit not only to the classes, but also to the entire Student Body. Several new things have been accomplished by this year's Student Council, the best of which is the Student Book Store. The Paperback Book Store, owned and operated by the Student Council has proved itself to be a major addition to the campus. The store has been highly successful in keeping everyone well armed with books. All kinds of books are sold, covering thousands of topics, from war to art, from Aristotle to Aerospace. Almost every kind of paperback is available on the shelf, or through special order, creating not only a versatile, but also eco­ nomical book store for all. r This year has been a year of growth and development for the Student Council. For their cooperation, concern, and contributions of ime and help, I would like to thank Mr. Colberg, our student council Advisor, and Mr, Chase, and Mr. Burke lii u 46 ED MC LEAN �day boy organization Officers - S, Hazelett, J Augsburger, C. Honeyman, D. Sessions. C. Nash The Day Boy Organization, first established during the school year of 1965-1966, was set up with the purpose of getting the day stu­ dents of Bishop Dagwell Hall involved in school affairs. The Organization aims at better coopera eon between day and resident students in most aspects of school life, such as Student Council, social functions and other student oody activities. The Day Boy Organization is run through a president, vice-pres­ ident, and secretary-treasurer. Each of the grades sends a rep­ resentative to this council much as they do to the Student Council. The organization's main business is carried out in weekly meet­ ings which involve all day boys. A Day Boy Organization is a necessary part of any school such as B.D H Its role in school affairs is determined only by the interest shown. With more than half of the students being day boys, this should be a major organization. ; ;/v-v. ■ v . Monitors - D. Sessions, S. Hazelett, J. Augsburger. C.

Westlund. R. Carpenter, P. Green, and T Wallace The choice of Monitors is made before the school year begins. The Dormmasters meet with the Administration to choose the four Monitors that each wants to assist him in running their dormitories. During the first week of school, the Monitors, Dormmasters, and Administrators hold a meeting to outline the responsibilities to the Monitors. Their duties are not confined to the dormitories, as they are responsible for proctoring most of the study halls. Also during the meeting a Monitor Captain is elected. His duties are to coordinate the duty schedules for weekend duties, study halls, etc., and act as Mason between the Monitors and the Administration. This year the Monitor Captain was Bill Marshall, his assistant was Dick Mackey. Last year BDH had only two dormitories and consequently only eight Monitors. This year, because of the new dormitories and the addition of four day boy Mon­ itors, the total number of Monitors increased to twenty. Also this year the duties of the Monitors were increased to include taking Chapel and lunch attendance, answering the switchboard on weekday nights, directing weekend workcrews, in addition to their dormitory responsibilities and proctoring of the study halls. Of prime importance last year and this year were the student monitored study halls. For two years the Monitors have displayed maturity by accepting the re­ sponsibilities of leadership in this area. The amount of respect held for each individual Monitor is determined only by that Monitor's standard of conduct and effectiveness in his job. It is a credit to the Monitors that the chance to hold a Monitors position is desired by almost all students. BILL MARSHALL �rg, r<° 9 FAICONEEI NOVEMBER, 1966 VOL. 2, N BISHOP DAGWELL HALL « -V Bill Marshall. George Critchlow, Denny Crafton. Chuck Reynolds and Doug Gonyea This is the first year that BDH has boasted a regularly published newspaper. Although our schedule planned for six issues we only managed to publish four. This is not due to any lack of spirit however. Our staff, eighty per cent of which was composed of Seniors, was forced during mid-year, to temporarily surrender their newspaper work to provide more time for academic work. But we were back in April and May with two outstanding editions. Our papers were highlighted by faculty interviews, flaming editorials on school sprrit, brilliant social views by George Critchlow, and witty columns on school secrets Dy Denny Crafton. Our paper also covered special features ranging from a Mountaineering Club Ex­ pedition to a parody on Open House. The underlying purpose of our paper was to report all aspects of school life com­ prehensively with interesting and witty on the scene reporting.

Marshall, �v/ That this, the first Bishop Dagwell Hall Yearbook, should even appear in final printed form is a pleasant surprise to many people, some of whom are shown on these two pages. Led, urged on, and frequently coerced by John Swanson and Bob Ruben, the staff and its helpers have succeeded in a yearbook that will set the standards of yearbooks to come. The Organum is a result of turning loose a certain number of students in John's room with an equal number of typewriters, stockpiling the room with strategically placed reams of paper, and announcing that there were about ten hours to go before the deadline. Somehow, probably by the magic of John's organization, everything fell into place perfectly. Everyone, from Photographer Doug Gonyea to the unfortunates living in the room next to John, cooperated beautifully to produce this first edition of the Organum. Doug's artfully done pictures cover every aspect of BDH life, often with such candidness that many people are prompted to compliment him for his ability to get people to pose so naturally. Recognition is also merited by that group of peripheral staff members, sometimes known as Mother's Little Helpers, who mysteriously materialized with typewriters in tow. offering to do the last minute typing. Without these people the job (and it was) would certainly have been more difficult. To the advertising staff goes a note of thanks and encouragement for next year. And to all of the people, students, teachers and interested and con­ cerned people from outside the school, the staff would like to extend its gratitude. So, after months of concentrated effort, here is the first Yearbook of Bishop Dagwell Hall, 51 �Bottom Row: Left to Right; K. Magenis. D Anderson, J. Hicks, C Honeyman F. McCaslin, D.

The Ski Club was formed to better organize student participation and to promote skiing outside the regular schedule f The several extra trips that the club did organize were quite successful, but per­ haps the biggest activity of the club was the staging of the second annual ski day. Held at Mt. Hood, the races were more noted for their comical aspects than their decisive outcomes. The object was to have fun and the skiers certainly accomplished that. Dan Driscoll as president and Craig Honeyman as vice-president have done as effective a job as possible. Father Griesel, the club's advisor, keeps the meet­ ings organized and orderly. The fact that the club's activities were limited this year does not indicate that a ski club has no place at B.D.H. Expansion ot the club next year could mean a ski team and also overnight ski excursions. There is a bit of madness in every skier; the ski club seems to consolidate this madness into an overpowering force. 52 �MOUNTAINEERING CLUB Bottom Row: Left to Right, G. Church, C. Honeyman, C. Reynolds, S. Warren, and D Anderson. Top Row: Left to Right; K Foyston, J Rear, S. Peel, M. Drain, and S. Bissell. The Mountaineering Club at Bishop Dagwell Hall was formed by a group of enthu­ siastic students who wanted a chance to have organized outings. The Club received its charter early in the first school year (1966) and organized several trips, including a rock climb of Little Cougar Rock in the Columbia Gorge and a snow climb to the summit of Mt. Hood. The club was an obvious success as evident by this year's increase in membership. i The purpose of the club is to organize trips in a mountaineering spirit. Under the leadership of Mr. Gibbons, the club planned hikes, climbs, and ski tours in the Oregon-Washington area. These trips gave students a chance to get away from campus and enjoy the experience of high-level rock climbing, repelling down a cliff, putting on crampons in a storm or skiing across a long, wide snowfield up above the timberline. Club officers this year were: Chuck Reynolds, president; Craig Honeyman, vicepresident; and Steve Warren, Scribe-treasurer. After meticulously planning our first outing of the year to be a climb of Mt. Washington, a storm moved in that day, casting gloom on everyone's face, from the tallest officer to the smallest mountain climber Luckily, though, Mr. Gibbons was prepared for this situation, and we changed our plans accordingly. Shortly, we were out of the storm and at work on the Smith Rocks with our ropes. Later in the year, the club also had a ski tour of Mt Hood, starting at the 8500 foot level, continuing down through the snowfields to Paradise Park, and ending up on a woodland trail to Twin Bridges. i Other trips this year were a climb of Little Cougar Rock, a trip to Horsetheif Butte, and another attempt planned for Mt. Washington. The Mountaineering Club is one of Bishop Dagwell Hall's best clubs and has provided many enjoyable week­ ends for its members. 53 : �DANCES PSYCHEDELIC SENIOR DANCE This year dances were not only frequent, but also frequented. This leads, obviously, to the conclusion that the dances were successful. Not only was each dance different, but each one provided fun for everyone, each in a way slightly dif­ ferent from any other dance The Seniors began the year with what proved to be a dance that not only afforded live music, but also ample opportunity for people to mix. The stage was lit up by a light that was to prove quite popular - the oscillating "psych-light" in several colors. In March, on "Fat Tuesday-become Saturday", the jointly sponsored Mardi Gras Dance proved that costume dances still are more fun than ever. Garbed in costumes ranging from the original to the occult, mysterious folk took immense delight in the opportunity to be something different. Judging by the fun and joviality that sparkled throughout, it is ap­ parent that this will become an annual event. f All of the campus hippies gathered in the once-dining hall in April to celebrate the SHH Sophomores' Psychedelic Dance. This Compleat Psychedelic Experience came with a light show ano posters to add to the happening. So, of all these and more, it is apparent that a choice of the best would be more than dif ficult. All of these dances provfded^ever-ything necessary to make a dance successful, a point which everyone will agree on 54 MARDI GRAS �■ CMt?1 �r SENIOR SLAVE SALE The largest single money-making project of the year was under­ taken by the Senior Class in an effort to bolster their drained coffers. Thus, The first Annaul Senior Slave Sale was born. This mighty event occured in early November, due mainly to the im­ pending Senior sponsored dance and prospects of bankruptcy. As a result of their popularity among the bidding underclassmen, the Seniors acquired a sum in excess of one hundred dollars. The bids ranged from a low of five dollars to a high of eighteen dollars for the biggest Monitor of them all Tim Wallace. The bids flew thick and fast through the heat of the study hall, as underclassmen plotted and schemed their one day revenge. When everything finally came to an end, everyone agreea on the success of the Slave Sale. �SOPHOMORE CARNIVAL AND DANCE - - j - ‘ SJ The Sophomore Carnival was held in the Common Hall of the St. Helen's Hall Lower School and in the covered play area adjoining the Common Hall. The action started at seven on the evening of Saturday, November 4, at the various booths where one could win prizes by breaking balloons or throwing a tiddly-wink into a colored spot, knocking over milk bottles with baseballs, or throwing darts at playing cards; or there were goldfish to win by tossing a ping pong ball into a small goldfish bowl. The door prize drawing started some excitement at 9:15 as the Car­ nival drew to a close. The first number drawn won a large picnic basket and the second number won a big tigerskin rug, with the head intact. But the big attraction was the sponge throw, where, for two tickets, one was granted the privilege of clobbering Greg Daugherty, and later Steve Peel, with a big wet sponge. At 9:30, the action moved to the Upper School Dining !lThe Roades End" supplied the beat for the big crowd resting their feet. At 11:30, the magnificent evening conclusion, and everyone abandoned the Dining Hall for of the dorms and home. Hall, where dancing and came to its thecomforts �f CHRISTMAS 1966 w*r. V All was well at school even though winter never blessed our campus with a layer of snow. The calendar said Christmas, and everyone joined in the pursuit of the true Christmas spirit. To gain this goal all dorms were brightened with trees, decorations, and many happy faces. On the night before Christmas vacation all the boys mysteriously stopped packing their suitcases. They all filed out of the dorms to greet the crisp night air. An annual tree had been planted and was to be dedicated over some cheerful hymns ana inspired organ playing. Following the brief ceremony, there were some crisp cookies and spicy hot apple cider to help satisfy that everpresent yearning in every young man's stomach. Having been well dined and contented, the boys relaxed in the warmth of a fire. Later, they all returned to their dorms, carrying these warm memories in their hearts, which caused all to sleep in heavenly peace. Thanks to Bill Marshall and Chuck Reynolds, BDH will always have a tree to carry Christmas cheer from year to year. pfpiiij �SKI DAY > On Thrusday, March 16. Bishop Dagwell Hall's ski club sponsored the second an­ nual Ski Day. Students were fortunate in receiving a day off from studying to participate in the event. The highlight of the day was the giant slalom race held on the T-Bar hill. Each racer ran according to his skill in one of three classes: expert, intermediate, and beginner. The beginner race, run on the lower half of the course, was won by Kevin Magems with Dave Sessions as runner-up Intermediate and expert racers ran the entire length of the difficult course. Among the intermediates, the winner was George Critchlow with second place going to Steve Haessler. Jim Hill -- combining with George Critchlow to help curb all doubt as to the skiing ability of the Tri-City boys - walked away with first place in the expert division followed by Bill Courter, First place winners in all divisions were given a five dollar gift cer­ tificate from the Mt. Shop. The Ski Day was a tremendous success and all BDH skiers are looking forward to next year's event with the hope that St. Helen's Hall students may also partic­ ipate in the fun.

"" 'Pc- :; •••••• ft : \ : : 59 �SOCIAL HOUR Every evening after dinner the students of both BDH and SHH have the opportunity to gather and socialize in either the Great Hall or, on nice days, in the tennis courts. There they may par­ ticipate in a casual game of tennis or ping-pong, or if they would rather, simply relax while indulging in the art of conversation These occasions are properly chaperoned and conducted in an orderly manner, and they help create fond relationships which will be remembered for years to come. Conversations consist of such profound statements as, "I am NOT pudgy, George! "or "What do you mean I'm not a gentleman?" Then there are those who sit in a daze while staring into each others' eyes and alter­ nate in saying, "Carrie.. Denny...Carrie...Denny. " It is during these social reunions that stuaents practice and learn proper social conduct, a factor that will oe extremely important in their future r ; Wmm 'I ■ [• E f ,.w t1 /V •-•*^ p 60 �dining room Dinner meant various things to students this year, the milk you spilt on your new sportcoat, the dishes you broke clearing the table or perhaps the stimulating conversations you had with dining companions. The relaxing atmosphere and cuisine was not always present but on the whole Mr. Burns did an excellent job of putting on about two hundred dinners and parties for onehundred fifty students. Some of the gourmet highlights of the year were the various banquets that were held, Italian night oefore semester break and other special activities. Each Sat­ urday night can be remembered for the great steaks that Bill Cooper cooked. Although complaints were frequently heard con­ cerning the food, all students must agree that the food is far above average. �STUDENT BOOK STORE ibm mm I'lpWr #f 5 1'viil «£ ' a l "k J ► At the beginning of the school year Mr. Colberg, the student council advisor, came up with the extraordinary idea of having a paperback book store. It was not until November that the stu dent council was finally able to put the store into operation. It has been a complete success ever since opening day. The store is run by members of the student council, ana all profits are used for student body activities, such as movies and dances, and for additions to the store. A selling counter and book dis­ play have been built in the book store this year, and school supplies have been incorporated with the Dook store. Another progressive step was made when the girls of SHH were allowed to patronize the store. The student council book store has been an interesting experience for all those involved. We hope that it may be as much of a suc­ cess in the years to come. �JUNIOR STORE When evening study hall is over seventh, eighth and ninth graders wait impatiently for the Junior Store to open. The lure of the soda pop, Look bars and Cracker Jacks overwhelm the boys and they de­ scend to the basement of Mr. Clarkson's dorm. The enterprising Juniors con­ spire to separate the boys and their allowances. Desperate pleas for credit are continually heard, but, alas, they fall on deaf ears. By 9:45 everyone is well satis­ fied, especially the Juniors, having added a goodly sum to the class treasury. And later, during bed check, one can hear the boys saying, "Bless Mommy and Daddy and especially the Junior Store". SENIOR STORE This year the pet project of the class of '67 has been the Senior Store. It consists of a candy concession where all students may buy soda-pop and choose from a large selection of items to satisfy each individual's "sweettooth.11 The money ob­ tained from this concession is used to pay for the various Senior Class activities and, the ulti­ mate goal, the senior gift. It has been very successful to the satisfaction of the seniors, ana has enabled them to donate a sizeable quantity of books to the reference material in the SHH-BDH library. combined V 63 �CAMPUS CUT-UPS *T :■ �mm ~ % ___ :,-i z-M mm |fi*•v.

The Tarriers triumphed, but when they came down to Portland to play the Falcons at Delta Park they ran into a thundering herd of soccer players, instead of raindrops andpuddles. The Falcons played what was probably their best game of theyear by setting up George Critchlow and Stafford Hazelett to score three goals apice and by keeping our goalie, Bill Lake, practically inactive. The Falcons dominated all but about six minutes of the game in their six to four triumph. The first Catlin-Gabel game was held at BDH field, and the Falcons avenged their two losses to the Tigers last year by overpowering the �:: is ' -r v:; t r\'lS ... > r v.v-’ - • . •' .. • visitors, three to one. The second game of the rivalry was played on the Catlin-Gabel field, and both teams fought hard to win, but it was a day for the goalies to shine, as the Falcons and tigers struggled vainly to score. The final game of the year was the third Catlin-Gabel game, also played on the Tigers turf. The Falcons fought hard, but Catl in-Gabel prevailed, four to two. The final goal for the Tigers was scored with hardly a minute left, showing that the game was not sewn up early. The Falcons did not fare well at all in compe­ tition with local colleges, as they split with Lewis and Clark, and lost to Oregon State University, Reed College, and the University of Oregon. Next year the many returning lettermen should probably improve on this year's record, and we are sure that they will continue to give an out­ standing performance every time they take to the field. /1 �MIDDLE SCHOOL - VARSITY SOCCER IE; mmm ■ ••• , t' r -'• : ■ . . . •W^. ■ ■: jv*v\ Top row Mr. Gibbons.

Due to the late completion of the gymnasium, the pre­ season practice time was cut short. When the gym was finally finished it was being used from 3:30 to 5:00 by the wrestling team, 7th and 8th grade basket­ ball team and St. Helen's Hall students so the practice space was very small. The varsity basketball team was forced to hold practice in the evenings to ob­ tain adequate practice time and space. The Falcons started out their season by playing Corbett High School, the even­ tual district champions, and lost. The high scorer of that game was Sophomore Steve McCray with 12 points. The second game with Corbett showed great im­ provement by the Falcons, but they lost after a great game. Tillamook Catholic was the next team to meet the BDH players. Showing much improvement over the previous games, the Falcons 1st after fighting hard the entire game. The high point man for BDH was Jim Rear with 21 points. The second game with Tillamook was moch closer with the Falcons losing by only 5 points. The next team to play the Falcons was Jewel, from the Coast range. The long trip by the Jewell team might have been a factor in the outcome of the game, which BDH won. but when the Falcons traveled to the coast, they showed that they still were the better team by winning rather easily. For the next game BDH players traveled to Gaston Union High School. The result of this game was not very impressive, but when the Greyhound traveled to BDH campus we gave them a tough time by losing in an over-time by four points The top scorer was Steve McCray. The next game was with the school rival from across town, Catlin-Gabel. The Falcons won two out of three games with the top men Steve McCray, and freshman Bill Lake. Portland Christian won both the games with BDH. The high point honor was shared by two players. Senior Jim Rear and Sophomore Bob Love, with 8 points. Columbia Christian was probably the fastest and quickest team that the Falcons came up against. The BDH boys dropped the first game by 5 points. The second game was Columbia Christian all the way with the Falcons having trouble getting together. The top scorer was Jim Rear with 21 points. Knappa Knights was the last team BDH played, but the Falcons lost both of the games by a considerable margin. Although the season was not one to boast about, a note of congratulation must be extended to the team and Mr. Craigmiles for never giving up.

In compiling a 1-8 record, the team won almost half of the individual matches. Hurting the team greatly was the loss of so many of the squad's best wrestlers, such as Jim Augsburger (123 lbs), who remained undefeated in his first six match­ es before sustaining injury. However, lack of experience probably hurt the team the most. The team, made up mainly of freshmen, took most of the season to learn the necessary fundamentals. By the end of the season the wrestlers had improved greatly, winning their first match with an impressive 19-14 victory over a strong team from Sherwood. With seven of the ten lettermen returning next year, the BDH wrestling program can look forward to greater and greater success in the years to come. During the season many individual wrestlers built up impressive records. Probably the most outstanding wrestler on the squad was team captain Nick Peachy (191 lbs.). Nick placed first in many of the season's tournaments and represented the team in the District and State tournaments. Also instrumental in the team's success was returning letterman George Critchlow (148 lbs.). George showed much improvement and sparked the team with many important victories. Outstanaing Freshmen wrestlers, who will surely lead BDH wrestling in the coming years, were Chris Smith (115) and Walt Sherman (unlimited). Other wrestlers deserving recog­ nition were: Trevor Brooke (106), Ed McLean (123), Dick Mackey (130), John Floweree (136) and Carl Nash (178).

There is much to be said for the track team this year. Although the turnout was small, as compared to the other major sports, it was pos­ sible to cover all the major field events, and even though there were no sprinters, a strong long dis­ tance running team was formed. Training began the first of March, and it was necessary to overcome the handicap of the lack of pro­ per facilities. Yet, with all the difficulties, the team was able to compete in several tournaments, including an eight way invitational and an O.S.A.A. District meet. There was a lot of talent exhibited, but if for no other reason, the team did well because of their great spirit. Mr. Robert Ross coach 92 .| l �93 �GOLF 4 :v'- • ■’ . t ... ' jsa. -' ' S.*i ■■ • ' ' ‘ V*. r r5 . '* . .w J. Swanson B. Ruben E, Sparkman J. Donofrio B. Love Mr. Craigmiles Bishop Dagwell Hall students en­ joyed a much expanded golf program this year. Mr. Craigmiles arranged for the golfers to leave school at 2:30 in the afternoon three times a week in order to go to Progress Golf Course. The best golfer of the year was undoubtedly John Swanson who entered the District tournament. Good weather and especially good golf made this year's activity ex­ tremely worthwhile. The best thing about this year's team was perhaps the great improvement of the mem­ bers of the squad. BDH can look forward next year to a highly com­ petitive golf team. 94 Mr, Gary Craigmiles coach �INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL The Intramural Football league was instituted by the athletic department to fulfill several specific functions. It was an attempt to in­ crease participation by the students in an intramural program during a period in the school year when PE classes were not meet­ ing due to gym construction, and when var­ sity competition for the fall had been com­ pleted. The program provided an opportunity for all boys in the upper school to participate. About 50% of the student body took part regularly. The players appeared to enjoy themselves and the competition was good. Special commendation should be given to George Critchlow and Jim Rear. George, as captain of the league winning team, demon­ strated the leadership necessary to make any student-led program work. Jim could not par­ ticipate in the game but appeared each day to pace the side-lines and direct his team to a second place finish. « I I W.. pi . 95 k- �ADVERTISEMENTS 96 �:! j ' . ;; ■ ■: & ! 1 ' ! !!

The yearbooks were published annually after 1925. Yearbooks from 1921-1968 were known as The Delphic and were created by St. Helen's Hall students attending in their high school years. St. Helen's Hall was an all-girls school that pre-dated Oregon Episcopal School. In 1969, the yearbook evolved into The Legend-Delphic with the addition of Bishop Dagwell Hall and male student attendees. This volume, "The Organum 1967" appears to be the only yearbook that was created solely for Bishop Dagwell Hall. After 1986 the yearbook branding begins to singularly list "OES" with a few volumes referencing "The Delphic" or "The Legend Delphic". Yearbooks helped to chronicle the school year's events and activities, in addition to listing each student and staff member.
