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

After several months of preliminary fundraising, the construction of the new Middle School began late in fall 1995. Over the next year, the OES community stepped forward to raise the remaining funds under the leadership and tireless efforts of numerous volunteers. Today, the completed building stands a proud two stories and its halls are active with the activities of Middle School students. For more about the Middle School, please see page 40 of this Belltower issue.

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

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

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

AUCTION The 1996 Around the World Auction raised a total of $167,000. From this total, $50,000 was added to the Edward E. Ford Endowment Fund. Income from the Endowment sup­ ports the professional growth and development of our outstanding faculty and staff. Another $50,000 will have an immediate effect on faculty growth and development, as it has been added to the School’s 1996-97 operation budget to pay for conferences, graduate study, profession­ al leave, research, and col­ laborative pedagogical efforts. The remaining $67,000 is being used to enhance parking on cam­ pus. Thanks to all the par­ ents, alumni, trustees, businesses and special friends who joined the auction committee to sup­ port our faculty and staff.

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

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

The dorm students were a little tentative about starting a new year, but with the help of new and old dorm parents it was easier getting to know people. From staying up late on the weekdays watching Comedy Central, to going bowling on the weekends, the dormies had a great time getting to know each other. “OES is a community, but the dorm students create a diverse community within that.” Quotes like these may give you an idea of what it is like to live in the dorms, but unless you actually do, you’ll never have the privilege of knowing what it’s like to be a Hibernating Aardvark. 25 �| 1 I 14 �27 �■ Announcements, announcements announcements... Gathering is a time when both teachers and students share announcements, and wrack their brains to answer the daily trivia question posed by Ted Kollar, the Trivia Master. Every Friday is Mystery Friday where a few lucky students fall prey to the Student Council and participate in one of their silly activities. Gathering often provides a nice break in the school’s daily routine. A 1b Uh, whal’d he say?

One of the more interesting courses is Shakespeare for the Stage. In this course students approach the plays as plays instead of literature. They study the characters and write critical essays about them to learn how to portray them better. The course is centered around the Shakespeare plays going on in Portland, many of which they will sec during the semester. So What Is Love...? Darren Olson and Jeff Herman in Philosophy of Love.

OES students have the option of taking Japanese, French or Spanish. The OES teachers teach language skills and customs of the cultures that we learn about. This year’s French teachers are Micheline Ghattas and Pam Vohnson, Rich Sherwood and Atsuko Matsuyama are teaching Japanese and Katharine Kimball and Dana Lewis have been teaching Spanish. Students have been given the option of spending time in a different country to apply to language skills that they learn at OES. Such programs have been offered from the AMIGOS program, ASSIST, Rotary, and others. £ ana Lewis explains a Spanish lesson to Alice Gray, Sarah iorsc, and Angie Bevill while playing charades. ian Shum wonders why he’s ponly French student in the ^ss. The Three Stooges Andy de Guzman, Tristan Morse and Carl Russell show us what Spanish is all about: Eating and goofing off! 33 �Derivitives, Databases, and Deadcats OES has an excellent science department. We offer a wide variety of choices. They are Biology, Honor Biology, Wetlands Ecology, Chemistry, Honors Chemistry, Physics, Honors Physics, Advanced Physics, Anatomy and Physiology, Environmental Geology, and Science, Technology, and Society. Our math department is structured to fit the needs of each individual. Many classes at any different levels are offered for that reason. The math department consists of Sharon Cade, Gary Crossman, Nancy Doulis, Art Horst, Martha Horst, Sue Knight, and Chris Locke. Computers are a major part of the academic needs at OES. Every student has an e-mail account and th computer lab is never empty. The computer department consists of the one and only “lovely” John Kerslake.

O.E.S. offers many art courses including Ceramics, Art Trek, Paper Arts, Graphic Arts and Architecture. Students in Drawing 1 learn to draw in different perspectives and at the end of the semester must complete a self-portrait. In the painting class students learn how to make a canvas, mix paints, and to paint. Art Trek involves a variety of projects. Students get to experience ceramics, drawing, Indian Art, and other media. i HMM ... LET’S SEE HERE Jeff Kinzer carefully erases and redraws part of his art project. »>vj , r UH ...

Activity period is meant to be a time when students go outside the normal curriculum in ways that are meant to be fun and educational. Some activities’ goal is to produce a product like a newspaper or the Art-Lit magazine, but some are just meant to give students a chance to pursue other interests they have. Kiruthi Njenga talks with Rosa Hemphill during the research activity. Sarah Pope in Concert Band, which gives more accomplished musicians a chance to play in a group. Yumi Shigematsu concentrates on playing her violin in Concert Band. Robin Walsh works on perfecting another letter in Calligraphy.

Not only do we have these people to thank for providing us with thought provoking insights but our diverse student and faculty community has entertained and helped us gain knowledge on various subjects all year. Our chapels and X-periods have given us this unique opportunity which is only another great aspect of the OES community. And what did the Kenyans think about Richard Leakey? “I think he does a very good job with the conservation of wildlife in Kenya, but I don’t think he should get involved with politics,” said Lee Njue. But Kiruthi Njenga’s opinion was a little different. “Mr. Leakey’s political intentions are very good. I think he should join with other political powers, and I wouldn’t mind if he became president.” 1 I •A Dr. Jane Goodall enjoys a cup of coffee with her tail-less chimpanzee after speaking to the OES upper school.

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. 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.

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

Fine Arts Program Moving to New Facilities S P R I N 1 9 9 G 7 Oregon Episcopal School contin­ ues to benefit from the extraordi­ nary fundraising and planning efforts of the Board of Trustees and the numerous volunteers who have been working on the campus Master Plan, and, especially, from the generous commitment of so many generous donors. This fall, the OES Art Department will make the much-needed move to its new and more spacious home in Bishop Dagwell Hall, the former site of the Middle School. Not that the limited space in Scott House has kept the fine arts cur­ riculum from flourishing at OES. Despite the challenges, the pro­ gram has evolved and grown over the years under the direction of what is the longest tenured depart­ ment on campus. Jack O’Brien, Sue Jensen, Matt Lyon, and Shelley Stoffer have contributed their remarkable talents as artists and teachers, each at OES for at least 10 years, and students at OES have opportunities in the arts that many schools in the Portland area can no longer provide. On the cover of this issue of The OES Belltower, students reproduce a traditional Japanese art form, Itajime Shibori, which means “board-clamping manipu­ lated resist dyeing.” Under the direction of Upper School art teacher Sue Jensen, students fold paper and dye it, and the result is brilliantly colored paper art. Students use the dyed paper as book covers for small, hand-made albums of their own drawings and other paper art, several of which have been on display in the Upper School this winter. ▲ Upper School students take turns at the wheel in Matt Lyon’s pottery class. Bishop Dagwell Hall, with its north­ facing, large windows and newlyredesigned space, will be an ideal new setting for OES’ young artists, and will be in use this fall by Lower, Middle and Upper School students. For more about the arts program at OES, please see “The Fine Arts Are Alive at OES!” on page 4. With the move of the fine arts program into Bishop Dagwell Hall completed, OES will now begin preliminary planning for the next Master Plan project, the reno­ vation of our Upper School. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 3 �S 1 P R I 9 N 9 G 7 The Fine Arts are Alive at OES! On any given day, the lower level of Scott House on the OES campus is filled with activity. In one class­ room, Lower School students listen to Debussy as they study the works of Monet and create their own impressionist works with oil pas­ tels.

At the far end of Scott House, Middle School stu­ dents at pottery wheels create bowls which will be fired in the School’s outdoor kiln. longest tenured at OES, and their indi­ vidual artistic talents have not only enhanced the pro­ gram, they’ve shaped it. Jesse LeCavalier '95 “I’ve only seen the department get better and better,” says Sue Jensen, who has taught art in the Upper School since 1984. A dorm parent since 1977, Sue began teaching design and calligraphy Jason Henkle. 10th and took over the Art Trek program in the Upper School in 1987. Art Trek is a comprehensive course that incorporates a cultural and historical introduction to art with studio project experiences like ceramics, painting, and calligraphy. ▲ SueJensen and Upper School students collabo­ rate on Itajime Shibori, a traditionalJapanese art form involving the dyeing of intricately folded paper. Sue balances her teaching with an impressive career as a professional musician; she has been playing the harpsichord for twenty years and The fine arts are alive and well at OES, with a full curriculum that encompasses art history, drawing, painting, ceramics, paper arts including printmaking, calligraphy, marbled paper and paper dyeing, and graphic design. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The diversity of the OES fine arts program has as much to do with the talents of the OES arts faculty as it does with the evolution of the curriculum over the years. The department, made up of Jack O’Brien, Sue Jensen, Shelley Staffer and Matt Lyon, is the ▲ Upper School art teachers SueJensen andJack O’Brien admire the latest paper art cre­ ated by Upper School students. 4 performs with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, is a member of a Portland chamber group called Allora, and is the Director of Music at Grace Episcopal Church. An expert calligrapher and paper artist herself, whose own works can be seen all over the OES campus, Sue is certain of the importance of experiences in the fine arts to the overall education of young stu­ dents. “Art helps us see and per­ ceive the world in our own unique way," she says. “Students discover themselves and their ability to relate to the world. It also teaches them to play, be spontaneous, and enjoy what they’re doing.” Jack O’Brien, Chair of the Art Department since 1985 and on the OES faculty for 15 years, empha­ sizes the quality of the OES arts program in terms of its faculty and its expectations of students. Jack teaches painting and drawing to Upper School students. “There are two rather unusual aspects to our program: without exception our faculty are profes­ sional artists who teach, and we have a two-year art requirement for graduation from OES,” Jack points out. “In this current fiscal climate, other schools are cutting art and letting art teachers go, and we’re enhancing our program more and more every year. This is a real statement to Portland.” Like Sue Jensen, Jack has commit­ ted himself to teaching art at OES and simultaneously sustaining a full-time career in the Portland theatre community as a set designer and technical director for theatres across Portland, including Artists Repertory Theatre, Portland Repertory, Oregon Stage Company, �and Tygres Heart Shakespeare Company. Jack also directs the theatre program at OES, including Stagecraft and Theatre Troupe, a class that involves students in all aspects of theatre production and performance. S P R 1 9 “There may be the misperception that at the lower grades we just throw out some crayons on the table—we actually don’t even use crayons in art classes!” she laughs. “My goal is to build a love of visual expression. I give them a variety of materials and lots of instruc­ tion. I explain the techniques involved, and then give them the freedom to do what they want.” “Every year the program gets more involved and com­ plex. An art teacher visiting OES recently said to me ‘You have high expecta­ tions!”’ she recalls. “That’s partially true—I really want our students to learn something in my classes.” Shelley’s arts curricu­ lum for Lower School ▲ Lower School students Sean Gordon and students includes an Dylan Page take a break from the rigors of introduction to art art class for some personal creativity. history.

Matt also teaches ceramics classes to Upper School students. “The ceramics class is an opportu­ nity for students to experiment with three-dimensional artistic expres­ sion,” points out Matt. “Personally, I think getting out of the mind and Matt’s own works in ceram­ ics have been in gallery shows all over the Pacific Northwest, and featured in Ceramics Monthly maga­ zine, The Zootrope Book, and Handbuilt Pottery magazine. Matt has recently made the decision to work part time at OES during this coming year so that he will have more time to work on his own ceramics.

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

His question is followed by a chorus of answers ranging from "When they cut you open" to “When your stomach hurts and the doctor helps you.” Jeff Gundle is part of an activity/ service learning opportunity which places Upper School students in teaching internships in Lower School classrooms, the library, and on the playground. A first-year intern, Jeff visits the kindergarten “The kids are wonderful—they’re energetic about everything, and they’re so happy to see that you’re interested in them.” classroom at least once a week, reading to the students during sto­ rytime and participating in the endof-the-day dialogue called “Problem Solving.” “He’s been wonderful with the kids,” says Helen Linster. “During Problem Solving we talk a lot about what’s right and what’s wrong, and Jeff contributes a unique perspec­ tive because he’s older. It’s good for the younger students to recog­ nize that he still has to follow rules, just like they do, and there are con­ sequences for him, too. They really listen to him.” ▲ Kindergarten students bond with their Upper School teaching intern andfriend, juniorJeff Gundle. Jeff carefully describes his accident playing basketball, which injured his shoulder. Again, he receives a chorus of response: “Did they put you to sleep?” “Did you feel sick when you woke up?” “What did your medicine taste like?” "The Upper School students are always supervised, but there are many ways in which they can help and get some great experience," Debby says. “Some of the more experienced interns who have done the program for a while are able to “It’s a nice break from being in the Upper School all day, where things are so stressed-out and serious,” Jeff says. “It reminds you how nice it is to be young. It’s also fun to see what kindergarten students find interesting.” The Lower School Internship pro­ gram was developed by Upper School humanities teacher Debby Schauffler four years ago. The pro­ gram is a popular one, involving as many as 20 or 25 students a year, and Debby collaborates with Lower School teachers to provide chal­ lenging opportunities for Upper School students to be involved in the classroom. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 12 do some independent teaching, and the Lower School teachers can always use help correcting home­ work, working on big projects, playground duty, and a variety of other needs." Upper School tenth grader and intern Emily Brinegar is enthusiastic about the program, saying it gives her the opportunity to incorporate her interests in children and act­ ing—her “two favorite things." Emily started as an intern for activ­ ity credit, and has continued this semester as part of her service learning hours. Emily can often be found in the Lower School library, reading to students. “The kids are wonderful—they’re energetic about everything, and they’re so happy to see that you’re interested in them,” Emily says. “I try to act out all the voices in the stories I read, and it’s so inter­ esting to see how each child reacts differently. When we find a really fun story, we act it out as a group, complete with props.” �4 S P R 1 9 Lower School library assistant Diane Flack is as enthusiastic about Emily as Emily is about her internship. "She doesn’t just do this because she has to,” Diane points out. “She is an incredibly vivacious person, with an extra something— a deep love for children. We’re very lucky to have her." Debby Schauffler says that one of the best things about the teaching internship program is that it pro­ vides an opportunity for students of different ages to mix, which makes for an enhanced environment for learning. “The older kids learn about teaching and the learning process, and about how to take care of people,” she says. “It’s a great combination."

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

The Zendt family will be leaving OES and Portland this summer for the East Coast to be closer to their families. Perhaps most striking has been the reaction from all corners of OES, among fellow faculty and staff, parents, trustees, and administration. “It’s hard to find two people of greater integrity,” says Headmaster Charlie Bergman. “When a school is serious about its mission, you have two options for making it come alive: articulating it ▲ Harvey spends nearly as much with words, and time in the Lower School class­ modeling it.

He really rolls up his sleeves and works along with the rest of us, on everything from the fifth grade compost pile to building the Beginning School play structure," says Sidney Gold, assis­ tant head of the Lower School. “Harvey sees the positive in everything—he starts every faculty meet­ ing with compliments and thank yous.” ▲ St. Francis Day brought the Zendt family rabbit to the OES campus. Here, Louisa and fourth grader Becca Zendt pose with a fellow Lower Schoolfriend (on left). “Harvey is the master of under­ standing, and listens as few do,” reflects Elisabeth Lyon, OES parent and former president of the Board of Trustees. “He keeps perspective in difficult situations, and maintains a lightness that is contagious.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

JL: What does the Board of Trustees do? WD:The Board of Trustees has a number of specific responsibilities. Among them are determining the School’s mission and policies, hiring the Head of the School, supporting the Head and reviewing his or her performance, ensuring effective organizational planning, ensuring adequate financial resources, determining and moni­ toring the School’s programs and services, enhancing the School’s public image, and assessing its own performance. WD: There are 25 members of the Board of Trustees. Two of the trustees are the Bishop of the Diocese of Oregon who serves as Chairman of the Board, and the Rector of the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist. The Diocesan Convention elects nine Episcopal Trustees who are recommended by the Diocesan Nominating Com­ mittee. The Bishop appoints the remaining trustees who are recom­ mended by a Committee on Trustees. The Headmaster, the Chair of Volunteers’ Common Link, the President of the Alumni Associ­ ation and the Chair of the Pacific Rim Council serve as ex-officio trustees. Trustees are selected for the talents they bring to the Board and for their willingness to commit those talents to the interest of the School. We look at a breadth of issues and diversity of skill sets so we have legal representation, finan­ cial expertise, educational experi­ ence, etc. Finally, we look for a mix of gender, race and other types of diversity so the Board looks and feels like our community. JL: How long do trustees serve on the Board? WD: Elected or appointed trustees serve three years terms and may not serve more than two consecu­ tive terms. JL: Are trustees paid for their service? WD:No, trustees are not paid, they serve on a voluntary basis. In fact, trustees are expected to provide leadership in the area of fund rais­ ing and development. One hundred percent of the Board contributes each year to the OES Fund. Like­ wise, 100 percent of the Board contributed to the most recent capital campaign which raised $4.5 million for the construction of the new Middle School and the renovation of Bishop Dagwell Hall. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 12 JL: How is the Board structured? WD:The Board structure includes a Chairman who is always the Bishop, a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. There is an Executive Committee of six people that is charged with over­ seeing the work of the Board and managing specific agendas. In addition, there are several standing committees that work in specific areas to support the activities of the Board. This year, we are experi­ menting with some smaller “mini­ boards” which will meet in alternate months to discuss key issues relat­ ed to our Strategic Plan objectives. JL: Are trustees the only people who serve on committees? WD:No. Committee membership may include people from outside of the Board of Trustees. These people are chosen because they represent expertise not represented on the Board. Their input and rec­ ommendations as well as those of the committee flow up to the full Board for discussion and approval. JL: How often does the Board meet? WD: Typically, the Board meets monthly during the School year. Committees may meet more fre­ quently. JL: What is the role of the Episcopal Church in the gover­ nance of the School? WD:The Church is actively interest­ ed in seeing that the School is managed in the spirit that respects the Episcopal tradition, but the Church does not determine the curriculum or the specific nature of how that education is delivered. They have made specific efforts to make OES a welcoming kind of community for people of all faiths. �our goals. We have a terrific student body. Our emphasis on developing global citizens is very exciting for us as we implement programs for the future. JL: What is the trustees’ relation­ ship with parents? WD:The trustees serve the organi­ zation as a whole rather than any special interest group or constituen­ cy. We strive to maintain indepen­ dence and objectivity and do what a sense of fairness, ethics, and per­ sonal integrity dictate. Many of the trustees are parents, but they are not members of the Board solely by virtue of their being parents. We do look to parents as well as other constituents as being central to our decisions, and they are wel­ come to attend our meetings. JL: What is the trustees’ relation­ ship with the faculty, staff, and administration? WD: The Board’s mission is to work on strategic planning and policy for the long-term benefit of the School. The faculty and staff, under the direction of the administration, are charged with the day-to-day man­ agement of the School. Our Board meetings typically include the Headmaster, the Heads of each of the divisions, the Director of Admissions, Director of Develop­ ment, and Chief Financial Officer, so all issues that are discussed and decisions that are made are done in the presence of and with their full input. We do look to them to imple­ ment policy and to deal directly with parents and students on a day-to-day basis. JL: What are some of the current issues before the Board? WD: This year, we are looking at several areas. We are currently developing a Strategic Plan which allows us to identify key issues for the next five years and hopefully beyond. We are updating some of the past work and introducing some new priorities so we can share a common framework with parents, students, faculty, and alumni about what the School needs to be work­ ing on. We are also establishing priorities for those items. Some of the key areas in front of us are the completion of the Master Plan, continuing to improve faculty A U T U M N 1 9 9 7 JL: What motivated you to get involved with the Board of Trustees? ▲ Wayne Drinkward compensation levels, building an endowment that will help support our financial plan and lessen our dependency on tuition, improving communication between our vari­ ous constituencies, and introducing a higher level of understanding as to evaluation and accountability for delivering the product we promise. These are long term discussions that need to involve everyone, and hopefully we will identify sub-issues which we can work on to improve the value of an OES education. WD:My wife, Julie, and I have four children. Daniel ‘95 and David '97 attended OES and are now in col­ lege. Our son, James, is in ninth grade and our daughter, Anne, is in third grade. Their OES education has been very valuable and they have turned out to be great people. I want to give something back to OES. I have about a 25 year span of history in my direct family that will be affected by what I give, and I hope to be able to help improve the kind of educational opportunity not only for everyone who is here now, but for future generations as well. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of OES and the volunteer community. It is really an exciting endeavor when people work together as much as they do at OES for the benefit of our students and each other. I am fortunate to be able to help. JL: What lies ahead? WD: I believe the School is in the best condition it has ever been in. We are fully enrolled and we are doing a good job of delivering a quality education to our students. The educational world in general, however, has a number of con­ cerns that will inevitably affect us. We see these concerns in the pub­ lic sector and in a number of areas around us in which people want to understand and redefine the role of education. We are also seeing increased competition from other types of independent schools in our vicinity. The world around us is changing and we need to under­ stand this and adjust accordingly. We are excited about moving into our second year with Charlie Bergman as Headmaster and help­ ing to form long-term relationships with the administration, faculty and staff that will help us accomplish O R EGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 13 �AUTUMN 19 9 7 Ek Gj-awlt! F e Fencing jD att OES O E S espite its violent and deadly roots the modern and safe sport of fencing is gaining populari­ ty in the United States, especially at Oregon Episcopal School. Colleen Grace Olney was the OES fencing coach from 1971 until her untimely death in 1995. During her years at OES she worked tirelessly to share the sport she loved with as many young athletes as possible. The OES fencing facility at SPARC was named in her honor in June 1995. Salle Olney (/a salle is French for “room”) is one of the finest fenc­ ing facilities in the Northwest and will host the Junior Olympic Qualify­ ing Meet this coming December. Following the death of Colleen Olney, Ed Korfanty assumed lead­ ership of the fencing program at OES. Since 1993, Ed has been the Head Fencing Master of the Oregon Fencing Alliance, the Oregon Divi­ sion of the United States Fencing Association, a role that he contin­ ues today. Before coming to Oregon, Ed was the assistant fencing coach at the University of Notre Dame and coach of the Indiana Fencing Academy. An exciting aspect of coaching for Ed is introducing the sport to young athletes. “In the United States it is hard to get kids. Every sport pulls them—soccer, baseball, football— so I start working with the kids when they are young.” Building on the already strong, established program, Ed has con­ tinued to increase the popularity of fencing at the School. There are now nearly 40 students involved in the program. Sixth grader Phillip Koop has been with the program for five years and has seen the growth. “I used to be the only fencer in my age group. Now there are more.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL A Sixth grader Phillip Koop practices his epee while Head Fencing Coach Ed Korfanty watches his technique. Seventh grader Patrick Ghattas has been fencing sabre for four years and has learned a great deal from the experience. He credits his coach with helping him to grow. When asked what he has learned, Patrick responds, “how to make your opponent short, and when you lose to go up and shake their hand. Ed taught me that." OES parent and fencing club president Grant Farr confirms this aspect of the sport. “Despite fencing’s bloody roots, it teaches honor and the rules of decorum. It is also an unusual sport so it fosters a sense of camaraderie and a lot of pride.” Another exciting thing about the OES fencing pro­ 14 gram for Grant is that OES has so many athletes who are ranked at all age and skill levels. This past July, The United States Fencing Association held its National Championships in Santa Clara, California. Approximately 1,350 fencers competed in 68 events ranging from Under-10 to Veterans and Wheelchair. Of the 41 states sending athletes to the event, Oregon had the fourth largest contingent with 59 fencers. �AUTUMN 19 9 7 By the time the dust had settled on the piste, five OES students had received medals in the following events. Under-10 Mens’ Sabre 1st Joseph Milliron Under-12 Mens’ Sabre 3rd Patrick Ghattas 6th Phillip Koop 7th Ian Farr Division III Mens’ Sabre 6th Bob Romanski Ed was also awarded the Coach of the Year Award for the Western Region at the Summer Nationals in Santa Clara. This award, given by the U.S. Fencing Coaches Asso­ ciation, recognizes the breadth and depth of his coaching career, his achievements in coaching elite fencers, and in promoting fencing in his community. OES Junior Seth Kelsey heartily endorses this recog­ nition. “My coach is the greatest in the world!" ▲ Seventh Grader Patrick Ghattas tosses his mask in the air between bouts. Sam Blake, a sixth grader, prepares for his turn by adjusting his protective glove. ▲ Assistant Coach Adam Skarbonkiewicz confers with fifth grader Bill Thanhouser while two athletes practice their moves on one of the pistes in Salle Olney. part of this past summer training in Hungary with the United States epee team. More than 300 athletes from around the world had the opportunity to meet and practice their skills. He also finds that the discipline of fencing helps him in many situations. “The mental aspect of the sport is at least 10 times much more important than the physical. You can prepare for a match all you want, but if your mind isn’t in the game you can go down in the first round. Everything is like that.” Once students graduate from OES there are many opportunities for them to use their skills. Seth hopes to go to the Olympics and is very matter-of-fact about the possibility. “The opportunity is there. I just have to seize it. The average age of the mens’ epee team is about 30, so I have time. I am just at the beginning of my career." Two other examples of post-OES fencing success are alumnae Claudette de Bruin '92 and her sister Monique ‘95. Both received full-ride athletic scholarships. Claudette attended Notre Dame where she received a degree in Mathematics and Monique is currently studying at Stanford University. Seth has been fencing epee for the past six years. He really enjoys the opportunities for travel and meeting new people that fencing provides. For example, Seth spent KNOW YOUR WEAPON The modern sport of fencing has three different weapons. Each weapon has a different method of scoring touches and its own strategy for offense and defense. The foil is the modern version of the court sword. A foil is very light and about 35 inches long. Touches with a foil are scored only with the point on the trunk of the body. The epee is the same length as a foil, but heavier. It also has a larger hand guard and a more rigid blade. Like the foil, touches are scored only with the point, but can be landed anywhere on the body. The sabre, similar in size and weight to an epee, is a weapon for cutting and thrusting—a modern version of the slashing cavalry sabre. The guard on a sabre curves around the hand to protect the knuckles. Touches are scored any place on the body above the waist. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 15 �AUTUMN 19 9 7 HELEN CURTIS HYDE (1910 - 1997) T T777”hen she graduated from St. Helens Hall in 1929, Helen Curtis 1/1/ Hyde “willed” to one of her junior classmates her “ability to F F finish tests with lightning speed.” It was also predicted in her Delphic Yearbook that one day Helen would be “touring the country with Fanchon and Marco Stage Revues...as the chief dancer in the adagio group.” Although never a performer, Helen continued with post graduate classes at the Hall, worked at the English Hat Shop, cared for her mother and aunt, and became involved with the Episcopal Church and the Rosicrucian Order AMORC. And, while it is not known whether her friend improved upon her test timing, Helen later created another will which is certain to benefit many OES students. Helen was known to plan for everything. Whether it was organizing her sixtieth class reunion or preparing for potential disasters, Helen was ready. The final proof of her diligence was evidenced in her estate plans. In December, 1996, OES was informed that Helen had named the school as a beneficiary in her will. Helen died on July 3, 1997. From her modest estate, OES will receive approximately $300,000 for an “endowed scholar­ ship for deserving students.” This remarkable gift is a tribute not only to the “Hall,” but to Helen, who thoughtfully and generously planned for the future. LOG ON TO EDUCATION.. GIVE TO THE The 1997-98 OES Fund is off to a fantastic start. Through the support and dedication of alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, and friends of OES, the goal of $375,000 will be easily achieved. The theme for this year’s OES Fund is Log on to Education, celebrat­ ing technology’s growing role in an OES student’s education. Many members of the OES community may remember when a typewriter or calculator was a novelty in the classroom. Today at the School, students begin working on comput­ ers in the Lower School, and con­ tinue as they process through the Upper School, where computer use is as common as books are in the classroom. To recognize this importance, the OES Fund has established a web site that k will keep the OES community abreast on the Fund’s progress throughout OES FUND the year. You can visit the site at http://www.oes.edu/give/OESFund. The OES Fund helps Oregon Episcopal School continue to be financially strong. A student’s tuition only covers 77% of the cost involved with an education at the School. The OES Fund helps to bridge this gap. Excellent teachers, small classes, and individual atten­ tion are just a few things OES is able to provide for its students with the support of the Fund. When you support the OES Fund you are helping to ensure that students today are able to not only experience what alumni of the School fondly remember, but also to move ahead and become a part of OES’ history. There are various ways in which you can make a contribution to the OES Fund. By using the attached envelope you can make a donation by check, OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 16 cash, or credit card. Or you may want to consider making a gift using appreciated stock. This option of giving has grown in popu­ larity because the benefits to the donor are three-fold: contributions to OES are 100% tax deductible, capital gains taxes can be avoided, and, of course, you are helping OES do what it does best—provide an exceptional educational experi­ ence for its students. The OES Fund is the only program that requires the collaboration of all of the School’s constituents to be successful and reach its goal. If you have any questions about the OES Fund, you can call Jennifer Calhoun, Director of Annual Giving, in the Development Office at (503) 768-3180. ��1 HEADMASTER’S REPORT Dear Friends, “¥"t’s a pleasure and an honor to I thank the entire OES community JLfor its wonderful generosity in making 1996/97 another great fundraising year. This year was my first opportunity to observe closely the extraordinary energy and dedica­ tion of die many individuals who bring such success to our develop­ ment efforts. And as I review the many marvelous impressions of my first year as headmaster, the affection for the School manifested by those individuals has to rank among the most moving and profound. A few examples immediately come to mind. First, it is no exaggeration to say that OES has a team of volunteers that is second to none in its sheer energy and creativity, and this is nowhere more evident than in their work with our annual Auction. The Auction is a stupendous production by any mea­ sure, and its success is a tribute to our volunteers’ organization and vision. Trustees, too, deserve mention for their generosity and their vision in ensuring the School has an endow­ ment big enough to provide a suffi­ cient financial base to serve OES well into die future. And a special mention goes to John Lauerman and his team of professionals in our development office who guided our development efforts through the year and have mapped clearly our needs and strate­ gies for the future. Finally, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the many donors whose generosity has been the key to achieving our critical fund raising goals. This year was a “trial run” for our new Middle School building, and I am pleased to report that it has surpassed all our expectations. It is simply a marvelous building in which our fac­ ulty can now cany out their essential work as educators, freed from the many restraints with which they had to live in the past. And as we begin the 1997/98 school year, I am confi­ dent that the renovated Bishop Dagwell Hall will bring a new energy and vitality to the School’s curriculum in the arts. To all of the donors who made these two new buildings possi­ ble, it is my very great pleasure to say “thank you” once again. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the volunteers who dedi­ cated their time to the School’s vari­ ous fundraising efforts. Liza Lilley ‘74 is to be commended for her gallant efforts heading up the 1996-97 OES Fund volunteers, raising more than $357,000 toward our operating ex­ penses. Judy Jensen and her corps of volunteers set the stage for the “Lights! Camera! Auction!", securing $130,000 to be used for faculty and staff devel­ opment and the construction of a cover for the sport court behind the new Middle School building. Other thanks are due to two individu­ als who have spent the past few years devoting their time to leading the OES community. John von Schlegell step­ ped down this summer as President of the Board of Trustees, after serving with energy, creativity, and much good humor for two years. I owe a special thanks to John for his many efforts to ensure a smooth transition as my family and I began our new lives as part of the OES community last year. Wayne Drinkward has taken over the helm, and has already begun to address the challenges the job of Board President entails. Additional thanks go to Jack McCann. Jr. ‘84 whose term as President of the Alumni Association ended in June. His commitment not only to OES alumni, but also to the St. Helens Hall, Junior College, and Bishop Dagwell Hall alumni was far-reaching. Jack’s strong leadership and affection for OES provided a vision for the Alumni Association, and allows the new President, Max Miller ‘74, to easily step into place. My first year at OES has been a won­ derful adventure, and I feel honored to be in the company of a superbly talented group of educators and pro­ fessionals. I look forward with great excitement to what lies ahead, and to working with the entire community in carrying out OES’s marvelous mission as a nurturer and shaper of the “citi­ zens for good” who will lead us into the next century. Sincerely, Charles K. Bergman Headmaster THE MUSTARD SEED 18 X �REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Dear Family and Friends of OES: OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Board of Trustees 1996-97 TT f you serve long enough in a | volunteer capacity at a school JL like OES, it is possible to discern trends and a little of where we are on the continuum of the School’s 128 year history. Those of you who donate your time, money, and loyalty to OES are links in a chain—a chain that grows longer and stronger each year. Certain "links” in our chain need to be acknowledged in particular: Suzie Gundle, who headed Common Link; Liza Lilley 74, OES Fund Chair; Judy Jensen, who ran our fantastic auction; and Jack McCann ‘84, who represent­ ed the longest segment of our history as Alumni President. New volunteers will lake their places, each adding their own style to the job, doing their part, continuing the trend. I have been fortunate to serve as Board President with a Board of T Trustees which is excellent and getting better every year. In particular, H I’d personally like to thank Wayne Drinkward (my successor), Chris Kitchel, Sheryl Acheson, Bishop JJ Ladehoff, and Elisabeth Lyon (my predecessor). These trustees, and many others, kept me on course. This has not always been easy! The Rt. Rev. Robert Ladehoff, Chairman of the Board Mr. John E. von Schlegell, President Ms. Sheryl Acheson, Vice President Mr. Wayne Drinkward, Treasurer Ms. Christine Kitchel, Secretary It is an exciting new era at OES.

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

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

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

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

This is a skill I use every7 day." The School also provided Brent with other learning points. “Thanks to the dorm masters. I learned the essential escape and invasion technique, and how to light a cigarette in a rain storm at night without revealing my position.” Today Brent continues to be a student, studying Spanish, which he describes as the language of economics. Brent and his w’ife Nina have three children, Pearce, Hunter, and Esme. They look forward to hosting the New York Alumni Reception at their home in February.

She gave the following speech. This little talk was written many years ago for the Parent's Club ofSt. Helens Hall, so it s somewhat dated, at least the start of it is. The rest of it is just as true now as it was then. When Gertrude Faris (she was the Head Mistress at that time) asked me to speak tonight. I said, “You mean three minutes?" And she said, “Oh no—twenty." I told her I was strictly a three minute speaker, but I would try to stretch it to 3 1/2 minutes. I did take a public speaking class when we were living in Washington, DC. but if the professor from the University of Maryland could see me now. reading my speech. 1 would have flunked the course. Lady Bird Johnson was in my class of 25 for a period of 12 weeks. I guess she was learning how to make a speech as the wife of the President of the United Stales, and I was learning how to make a three and a half minute speech to the Parent s Club of St. Helens Hall. Lady Bird 's name was great to drop in 1966- rather passe in 1997. Gertrude Faris suggested that I say something about what St. Helens Hall meant to me. I should amend that statement and say what St. Helens Hall still means to me. i To go back a few years, more than I like to think about, my modier took a look at her long-legged, tom-boy daughter who did not like to study, and said to herself, “What that girl needs is more couth.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL So mother made a date with Sister Superior and we arrived at the por­ tals of the “Hall,” me with fear and trepidation. We were ushered into the beautiful parlor, and Sister Superior was so charming that I relaxed completely to the extent that when she said something nice about my lady-like, English-born mother, I said, “Oh yes, my mother is a good sport!" Well, that was the beginning, albeit, not much of one. However, when we told her I was Episcopal­ ian. she said, “Oh, one of our very own girls." One of the stained glass windows is in the chapel on the campus, as is the large bell that came around the Hom and rings for Oregon Episcopal School. Woe to the girl who giggled in chapel when Sister Katherine Angela s long fingers were coaxing music out of the wheezy old organ. I'm sure all alumnae will remember the motto that hung over the proc­ tor's desk in the study, all done in large old English printing “Dare to be true, nothing can need a lie, the fault that needs it most grows two thereby.” Gertrude was Miss Houk then, and only a few years older than I She drilled English into my head so that I can still remember about nomina­ tive and objective cases. She also taught Art History, and to this day, I can probably still name a Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian column. The teachers did the academics, and then there was the body building department. There were horseback rides at Nicol's Riding Academy, where the campus is now located, and the one tennis court. One of my proudest moments was when Sister Superior presented me with a little silver cup for winning a tennis match. The silver peeled off after a couple of years, but 1 still cherish it. The mainstay for the body beautiful was the basketball court. You played basketball, or else! It was an open shed with just a roof and no sides. Believe me, you kept moving to keep warm. Well, I fancied myself quite a player, always “center” because I was so tall. This was just before bobby socks and shorts; we wore those awful lisle hose dial bagged at the knees and ankles, and large bloomers. A few years ago, my husband pul up a basketball hoop for our daugh­ ter and three sons. I was the first one out saying, “Now, this is how you do it, children," shooting for the basket, and feeling pretty smug. About that time, my husband came out and said, “Look out boys, here comes one of St. Helens Hall's origi­ nal bloomer girls." Believe me that took the starch right out of my bloo-I mean middy blouse. The spiritual, ethical, and moral departments were in the delicate hands of, as my father used to call them, the “little sisters." They saw we were all blue veiled and lined up for worship every morning. Their ambiance permeated the atmosphere of the quiet, peaceful chapel, from the kneeling benches to the red sanctuary light that mesmerized me. 50 ▲ Muriel Gabriel Heltzel ‘30 speaks about her experiences at St. Helens Hall during the 1997 Reunion Weekend Luncheon. 1 wonder how many St. Helens Hall girls have turned out to be tireless workers in their churches. I am sure it can be traced to early training by the Sisters and for the force of good it represents in the community. Well, the teachers and the Sisters brain-washed, molded, scolded, educated, loved, and understood us, and in a few years’ time, a reason­ able facsimile of what young ladies should be marched up the aisle of Trinity Church to the tune of “Ancient of Days.” We were in our white robes and mortar boards, clasping large bouquets. The school's motto was, “that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.’’ They had polished the corners the best they could with the material they had, and it was up to us to build our lives on the foundation they had given us. �1950 Class Notes 1930 In a note sent earlier this year, Dorothy Durgan Thomas ‘35 JC writes that she and her husband, Marion Thomas, have been married since 1937, the same year they both graduated from Oregon Stale Uni­ versity. Dorothy and Marion have two daughters and six grandchildren Married 38 years. Dianne Whitman Kohlmeier ‘57 has dedicated her life to helping young people find their own self worth. She taught professional modeling for 30 years, and now shares ownership of Krayon Kids Musical Theater Company. The theater is a 100% volunteer organiza­ tion which strives to offer die special privilege of performance at no cost to the performer. Recently, Dianne wrote a play which was performed in October for Krayon Kids. She also has an antique business for which she travels yearly to Europe. Amy Fields ‘58 recently moved back to Portland after sLx years in Eugene where she completed her masters in architecture, and won a battle with breast cancer. She is looking forward to working in an architecture firm and becoming a licensed architect. 1960 1940 Cozette Scott McGuire ‘40 is retired, but still remains very busy raising, training, and showing dogs, one of which is also a therapy dog. From New Mexico. Beverly Triplett Hawks ‘45 writes that after a three year drought, the small college town where she lives finally had some rain this year. Her location two hun­ dred miles from the Mexican border has “brought the real world of drugs and immigrants to her doorstop,” and she has learned that nowhere is “isolated” in 1997. Retired from the college library, she keeps busy as a volunteer at Socorro Public Library with book restoration and repair, and teaching others to assist. Beverly also spends time painting, doing calligraphy, quilting, and designing quills with a southwestern motif. She is an Elder in the Presbyterian Church. Beverly loves to travel, read, and visit with grand­ children and other family. Susan Teague Lake *45 has three grown children who live in Washington, and three grandsons. Although she and her husband, Bill, have been trying to “divest themselves of obligations of their time,’’ they continue to have full schedules in Walla Walla. In July. Kathy Karafotias ‘66 accepted a position with the Oregon Health Sciences Foundation, where she is now a Development/Research Assistant. Kathy7 is also an OES Alumni Board Member. Dr. Denny Crafton ‘67 recendy moved from Connecticut to Arizona. Rebecca Reynolds ‘67 wrote the following: Dear Classmates, Sorry to miss you all at the reunion. I promise to show for the 35th. This spring was very busy. Among the normal events and leaching obliga­ tions, I was a chaperone for our eighth grade s class trip to Jamaica, spent two weeks camping in California with the sixth and seventh grade classes, and came to Portland two weeks before the reunion for a family celebration of birthdays—my dad’s 80th and my daughters 25th. (They were born on the same day!) The reunion weekend is always dif­ ficult for me because it falls on the weekend before our school lets out and there is always a lot of prepara­ tion for those good-bye events at school. I’d love letters or calls to hear how you are doing and what you all did at the reunion. [For Rebecca’s address, please con­ tact the Alumni Office.1 Currently.

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

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

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

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 3 �S P R 1 9 I N G 9 8 | n late January, Sophomore Andy Murray received I notice that she had been selected as The I Oregonian In Education’s 1998 Young Columbus Representative. As the winner of the Challenge, Andy will travel to Italy with 150 other youth from across the United States. They will visit Florence, Pisa, Siena, Tivoli, and Rome. This story began when Andy first saw an article in the October 5, 1997 edition of The Oregonian which featured former President Reagan and how his Alzheimer’s disease has worsened. From the article she gleaned that President Reagan receives plenty of attention, and the best health care avail­ able. After realizing this was probably not the case for most elderly people afflicted with the disease, she was moved to choose a nursing home for her volunteer work project. All OES students are required to perform 120 hours of service learning before they graduate. At least 40 hours must be per­ formed for an off-campus agency. In December, she submitted an essay about her experiences (reprinted below) to The Oregonian In Education’s Challenge. All ninth through twelfth grade students in the five-county area were invited to submit. The initial pool of essays was reviewed by a panel of judges and scored for content and mechanics. The best six essays were chosen and the authors were invited to speak at the Heathman Hotel on January 7. In late-January, Andy received notice that she had won. Community Service Essay ANDY MURRAY December, 1997 “Nurse, help me! OREG O N EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Help me!” An old woman occupying a blue chair with a restraining bar across her lap beckoned eagerly. Startled by her shouts, I looked over and realized belatedly that her cries were directed at me. I walked timidly over to where she sat, and responded, “I’m only a volunteer, but would you like me to call a nurse for you?” She stared at me blankly, then swiftly grabbed my hand and repeated: “Nurse, help me! Help me!” Her calls continued, and I stood floundering as she pulled me closer to her face. I offered: “Well, maybe I can help you. What do you need?” Again, no response. Her grip tight­ ened on my hand, and I struggled apologetically: “I’m very sorry, but I don’t know what I can do for you if you don’t tell me what it is you need." A woman in pink scrubs passed behind me, and replied, “She doesn’t need any help, Honey. She says that to who­ ever walks by, to get their atten- During the first few days of my volunteer work at the Robison Jewish Home, I felt intimidated and unsure of myself. I was instantly surrounded by a community of elder­ ly strangers, many of whom were ailing physi­ cally and mentally. The Alzheimer’s unit was a hall set apart from the others by a locked door. This area generated an atmosphere completely different from the rest of the Home. There was lit­ tle conversation, and only an occasional excla­ mation by a patient or a low, incoherent mum­ bling disturbed the room’s tranquillity. Nurses traced worn paths around the room, issuing food and medi­ cine to each person. tion.” I looked up questioningly at the woman, who was obviously an experienced staff member. Seeming to read my mind, she explained: "It’s because of her dementia—she doesn’t really even know she’s saying it.’’ I realized I had a lot to learn. 4 My purpose was to engage the residents in personal dialogue, which proved difficult because many of my attempts went unanswered. I grew accustomed to silence, but I knew that my pres­ ence was appreciated. Some resi­ dents just held my hand and cried, and others spoke of unidentified �characters and events from their past. One woman said nothing but "I love you,” and “You’re such a sweet girl.” I concluded that if I was only able to say a few words, those would be the words I'd hope to manage as well. The more responsive residents were always friendly, and I usually asked them questions about how their day was, what they had done for a career, or how they liked the meals they were served. They asked me where I went to school, how old I was, and why I chose to expose myself to a “place like this.” At the end of our conversations, we thanked each other for visiting. Although we tended to discuss the same things each time, I always felt a sense of accomplishment when we finished talking. I grew attached to a few residents in particular, and was grateful when I could tell them I’d return just a few days later. While some residents seemed con­ tent and peaceful, others were in a constant state of distress. I could never comprehend their level of anxiety, not having studied the neurological effects of Alzheimer’s disease. I didn’t understand why they had reason to be afraid, and wasn’t sure what caused their trep­ idation. All I could understand were the basic human emotions of fear and depression, which for these people must have been magnified “Although my Oregonian Challenge work is complete, I continue to volunteer at the Robison Jewish Home because my experience there has taught me how to be a better person.” reply was “Yes, you’re fine. There are people here caring for you, and you are in exactly the right place.” I tried to model the nurses’ behav­ ior when I was unsure, and this proved to be the most effective method of acknowledging the patients’ concerns. SPRING 19 9 8 Before my experience at the Robison Jewish Home, I had never seen so many confused and aged people existing together. In their society death and illness were everyday themes, even expecta­ tions. Through my volunteer efforts, I gained compassion for a stage of life which I have not yet experi­ enced, and had previously deemed irrelevant. From the Alzheimer’s patients I realized that, despite mental limitations, the human needs for love and security supersede the barriers of old age and infirmity. by their incapacity to express them­ selves. My attempts at consoling the disturbed residents were mea­ ger and often futile. When asked such questions as “Am I okay?” or “Am I in the right place?,” all I could LOG ON TO EDUCATION. GIVE TO THE 1557-58 OES FUND It’s wonderful to experience the sense of community that sur­ rounds the annual OES Fund drive. Support of this program comes from many different constituencies with varied backgrounds. A stand-out contribution received by the Fund this year was from Kavita Heyn ‘97. As a senior at OES, Kavita volunteered for the Spring 1997 Alumni Phonathon. Originally enticed to fulfill service learning credits, she soon learned how important the OES Fund is to the continued health of the School, as well as the significance of partic­ ipation at any level. Kavita went on to graduate from OES last June as a member of the Cum Laude Society and became a member of the OES Alumni Association. In the fall, Kavita headed to the east coast to attend Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. As a rule this year, college-age OES alumni were not directly asked to give to the OES Fund, recogniz­ ing the limited budgets of college students. What a great surprise it was to open a gift envelope with a contribution from Kavita in it! We are proud to say she is the youngest donor to the OES Fund this year. The Alumni Phonathon, which is coordinated with Upper School stu­ dents, takes place twice a year— once in the fall and again in the spring. The benefits for the students who participate are three-fold: they 5 receive hours credited toward their service learning requirement for graduation, they learn about the OES Fund and its role in the School’s financial well-being, and they are able to converse with alumni from different eras, learning how times have changed, but also have stayed the same. The success of the OES Fund is contingent on the entire communi­ ty’s support. There is still time left to join Kavita and the rest of those who have already participated. Use the attached envelope to mail your gift today. Questions? Call Jennifer Calhoun, Director of Annual Giving, at 503-768-3137. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 19 9 8 Endowment Foundation for the Future For 129 years, Oregon Episcopal School has been committed to edu­ cation of the highest quality. Guided by our mission statement, the School encourages creativity, intellectual rigor, inquiry, empathy, and respect for others. To sustain these values and meet the needs of our School in the 21 st century and beyond, we must build an endowment that provides sufficient and predictable income each year. Endowment income can provide support for the School’s educational mission in perpetuity, ensuring not only present, but future quality and continued success. A well-established endowment will protect the School from fluctuating external financial and economic forces. Each year, OES strives to recruit outstanding students, regardless of their financial circumstances. Like many other schools and universities, OES must raise tuition each year to meet the increasing costs of edu­ cation. Through generous and thoughtful gifts, numerous opportu­ nities have been provided for promising students who are unable to meet the costs of an OES educa­ tion. A commitment to financial aid ensures that students with acade­ mic and personal potential will be able to attend irrespective of eco­ nomic factors. Therefore, in order for OES to maintain an affordable tuition and to include students from diverse backgrounds, the endow­ ment must grow. As stated in the OES Strategic Plan, “Our faculty and staff are our most valuable resource.” The teachers at our School are among the finest in their fields. However, there is great competition for teachers of this caliber. The challenge of recruiting and retaining the best faculty requires competitive salaries and opportunities for professional development. Only an increased endowment can secure these for our excellent faculty.

To achieve this goal, the Board created an Endowment Committee, and appointed Elisabeth L. Lyon as the first Endowment Committee Chair in July 1997. Throughout the history of OES, many have had the foresight and generosity to contribute to the en­ dowment. The Endowment Com­ mittee will be encouraging others to continue this tradition by making planned gifts or outright gifts.

The Rt. Rev. Benjamin Wistar Morris, second Bishop of Oregon, brought the bell, a gift from his Philadelphia parish, to Oregon. The bell has been central to the activities of the School, both in the past and in the present. To honor the founders of the School, and the commitment of those who make planned gifts that perpetuate the future of the OES, we selected this new name. The Society’s cur­ rent members include alumni, past and current parents, and members of the Episcopal Community. Outright gifts, such as the recent contribution of Lenore Lavanture Klink ‘35 JC, are also inspiring examples of philanthropy. Regardless of the type of gift, the result is a commitment to OES which will underpin and enrich the future of the School. �SPRING 19 9 8 Endowment Q&A What is an endowment? An endowment is money given on the condition that the principal will be The Board has charged the Endowment Committee to work with the Finance Committee to oversee management of the endowment; to communicate the importance of the endowment to the OES Community; and to help maximize the endowment’s growth for the future of the School. Chair Elisabeth Lyon, has assembled a group of dynamic individuals whom she believes will serve wonderfully as “stewards of the School." permanently invested and a portion of the investment income will be expended for designated purposes. What is the value of our endowment? On February 28, 1998, the OES endowment was valued at $10,765,860. How much is withdrawn annually from the endowment? In the 1997-98 school year, the School will withdraw 4% of the average of the previous three year’s endowment market value, or $253,783. This percentage is expected to increase to 5% for the 1998-99 school year. How do we compare to other schools? Our endowment ranks in the middle of independent school endowments in the Pacific Northwest, and in the lower echelon when compared to similar-sized schools across the nation. Where do the proceeds go? About 60% of the annual withdrawal from the endowment has been restricted by donors. Examples include the Betty Lou Roberts ‘37 Endowment, designated for student financial aid; the Winningstad Chair in the Physical Sciences, held by Dr. William Lamb; and the Edward E. Elisabeth L. Lyon, Chair Ford Endowment Fund which is restricted for faculty development. Elisabeth, parent of two Middle School students and current mem­ ber of the OES Board of Trustees, was President of the Board from 1993 to 1995. She is the Advisory Board Chair for the Saturday Academy, and member of Pathfinder International, an interna­ tional family planning organization. The remaining 40% of the withdrawal has been designated by the OES Board for financial aid and the Beatrice L. Gerlinger Endowed Chair in Mathematics, held by Nancy Doulis.

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

Robert Ladehoff, Bishop of Oregon Bishop Ladehoff is the ninth Bishop of Oregon and the Chair of the OES Board of Trustees. ■ ■ Talent, perseverance, and hard work enabled Lenore Lavanture Klink, St. Helens Hall Junior College Class of 1935, to be a suc­ cessful student, masterful fencer, and energetic teacher. Today, a generous heart and a belief in edu­ cational opportunities, make her a thoughtful benefactor. With her gift of $40,000, the School has estab­ lished the Lenore Lavanture Klink ‘35 JC Scholarship Fund. As an endowed fund, Lenore is generous­ ly building a foundation for the future by providing for deserving students to attend OES. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 10 As a student at the Hall, she excelled in academics and athletics and was involved in the Dramatic Honorary, Science, and French Clubs. However, some of her great­ est achievements were in fencing, a major sport at the Junior College, for which she won the school’s championship medal. (More impressive still, Lenore later won the Women’s Oregon Fencing Competition at the age of 53.) After graduation from the Hall, Lenore transferred to the University of Oregon. Her first year at the University, she lived with two girls from the Hall and held a job as a researcher in the P.E. department. Lenore’s senior year was spent with a family who owned a large hardware store in Eugene. She worked around their home in exchange for room and board. In 1937, with her English Literature B.A. degree in hand, Lenore was prepared for a career in teaching. “Teaching was a profession in my family, and what I always wanted to do. Two of my grandparents were teachers. After their children were born, they went back east to nor­ mal school, because there were no �schools in Oregon at that time which could train them as teachers. They later returned to the West and taught until retirement.” After a year at Sandy Union High School, Lenore then returned to her alma mater, St. Helens Hall, and taught a wide variety of subjects, including fencing and other courses in physical education. Following two years of teaching at the Hall, Lenore married and moved to San Francisco to raise her family of two children. Eventually, she returned again to Portland. After a divorce, Lenore began teach­ ing in the Portland Public Schools where she met Chester Klink, a property broker and teacher at Benson High School. One of his favorite stories was that he sold real estate so he could afford to teach school. Lenore and Chester combined their families and togeth­ er managed and owned property in Portland. However, Lenore missed teaching, and returned to St. Helens Hall from 1960 to 1972, enjoying her French, English, and physical education classes. Fencing was still one of her priori­ ties, coaching her student fencers to victory in several tournaments. As a result of the combined fami­ lies, Lenore has nine grandchildren, whose careers range from film making to family psychology. It was at the suggestion of one of her daughters that she decided to set up a scholarship fund for students at OES. Remembering her time as a student at St. Helens Hall, Lenore said, “I had two wonderful, stimu­ lating years at the Hall. These years gave me the opportunity to begin college, and go on to the University. I will always be thankful for the scholarship that was given to me."

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

A Letter from the Headmaster When you receive this issue of The Belltower, we will have celebrated the graduation of the class of 1999, welcomed our alumni and alumnae, and finished the last academic year of this millennium. I am very glad to be the leader of our school as we travel with optimism and energy and high ambitions for OES into the new millennium. Dear Friends. As you receive this issue of the Belltower, I will be finishing my first year as Head of Oregon Episcopal School. It has been a year full of joys and satisfactions, as well as challenges and opportunities. In fact, it has been the most exciting year of my professional life thus far. I have found at OES a group of people dedicated to education and to the kind of learning community in which the most broadly compre­ hensive education is most possible to achieve. There is a common vision of achievement and accom­ plishment, grounded in the Life of the Spirit that allows us to work together in an atmosphere of joy and affection about our tasks and each other a remarkable amount of the time. As the Head I am privileged to be with our students at times when they are demonstrating their high­ est commitments and accomplish­ ments. In late May, the lower OAs teacher-coach of the Mock Trial Team, I saw our upper school stu­ dents exercising their sharp intel­ lects, their interpersonal acumen, and their poise and presence to rank third in the state competition. I have observed the eighth grade contemplate the meaning of leader­ ship and service in their lives this year, and then go on to serve as role models for their middle school colleagues in service projects, in drama, and in sports. In addition to coming to know our students this year, I have also had the opportunity to begin to know our alumni. It has been my privilege to attend teas and luncheons with many graduates of St. Helen’s Hall and to learn what education was OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL ______ like fifty years ago at our (then all girls) school. Alumnae of SHH con­ tinue to feel the same passion for their school as our students do now. They also learned to order their val­ ues and commitments with concern for their community, local and glob­ al, to value each other highly, and to understand that education pre­ pares one for responsible citizen­ ship first and foremost. These are the same values that permeate the OES community today. 2 Dulany O. Bennett Head of School �THE OES 1999-2000 BOARD OF TRUSTEES SUMMER 19 9 9 The Rt. Rev. Robert L.

It produced seventeen years of graduating classes and, tn this short tune, contributed greatly to the education of women in the Portland corn­ mung. It has provtded the state with talented nurses, teachers, and journalists. TltTiircej^UmccalccIL off new era he vision of a Junior College at St. Helen’s Hall traces back as early as 1898. In that year, under the administration of Eleanor E. Tebbetts, Ph.D., St. Helen’s Hall established a Collegiate Depart­ ment. The program offered post­ graduate coursework in language, mathematics, history, and litera­ ture. Students could complete up to two years of college credits and transfer to four-year colleges in Oregon. Beginning in 1931, the standardized colleges and universi­ ties in Oregon ruled that post-grad­ uate work honored for credit should be done upon the campus of the college from which the degree was expected. This posed quite a dilemma for the administration of Saint Helen’s Hall, now under the leadership of the Sisters of St. John Baptist, and its Board of Trustees: Oregon colleges would no longer accept credit from the Collegiate Department. They were confronted with the possibility of having to eliminate the Collegiate Department or establish and accredit their own Science, Mathematics, Language, Home Economics, Pre-Nursing, Music Appreciation, Physical Edu­ cation and Hygiene, Ecclesiastical History, Art, and Drama. By the fall of 1933, only a year after opening, enrollment had to be limit­ ed. The success of the program necessitated expansion of the Students generally came to the Junior College from other Portland public and private schools; only 13 students graduated from both St. Helen’s Hall Upper School and Junior College. Even through the depression years, St. Helen’s Hall Junior College thrived and expand­ ed. Elizabeth Little *35 came to the Junior College from George Junior College. In August 1932, the decision to open the Junior College was final­ ized. The administration set a goal to reach 50 students in two years, the period over which it would take to become accredited. When classes began in September of that year, opening enrollment was 50 students. Tuition began at $75 per semester for day students, $400 for first semester dorm students, and $375 for dorm students after their first semester. Students paid addi­ tional lab and material fees for music, art, and other courses. Students studied English, Journal­ ism, Social Science, Physical ▲ TheJunior College provided opportuntiesjoryoung t. fields opening up to them such as science and nursing. College’s facilities. That Christmas ground was broken. During the early spring, classes were held in the lower school building, and by the time the girls returned from spring break, the facility was con­ structed and dedicated. With increased space, the Junior College (JC) was prepared to enroll 100 students per class.

The four-year colleges were too far away and would have been a great burden for my family.” Dale Thompson Boon ‘42 agrees that the College provided opportu­ nities. “I came to the Junior College as part of the National Recovery Act and I worked in the nursery school for 50 cents per hour. It wasn’t much, but it helped me pay tuition.” The small size, compared to a state university, and atmosphere of the JC allowed for extra attention. Elizabeth Little ‘35 recalls, “It was a wonderful experience. I was in the third graduating class and we had about 75 students. My high school class had 200-250 students and the teachers were different. At the Junior College, teachers would visit with students, and that was new to me. The Sisters especially were wonderful women. They taught manners and courtesy by example. I remember when the little Sister Superior [Sister Waldine Lucia] would enter the room. We would all stand up and she would say, ‘girls, sit down, sit down, don’t bother to get up.’ The Sisters encouraged us to be active in sports. We had archery and some of the girls played basketball. Sister Superior had an Airedale and whenever we would practice archery she would say ‘girls, girls, don’t hit the dog!’ We learned a lot and if we didn’t, it was our own fault.” The Nursing Program. In 1937, the Pre-Nursing program and the Good Samaritan School of Nursing developed a joint program. Students took English and Science classes at St. Helen’s Hall and training in more technical nursing procedure at the hospital. Students spent summers working a full-time schedule at the hospital. Upon graduation from this 3-year pro­ gram, students earned a certificate of completion from St. Helen’s Hall and Good Samaritan issued an RN degree if they passed the Oregon State Board nursing exam. Margaret Smith Dietrich ‘36 SHH and '38 JC remembers her year in the program, “The nursing program was so difficult. We had to walk back and forth between St. Helen’s Hall and Good Samaritan every day. When we weren’t studying, we were working in the hospital. I was exhausted all of the time." Almost two thousand years ago the children of humanity were hade by the greatest teacher the world has ever known to love one another. Centuries have passed—centuries filled with hatred and war, with greed and conquest. Today, on the thresh­ old of a new era, we arc brought to a comprehension not only of the humanitarianism and the spiritual necessity but also of the practical statesmanship of that behest. Only today have we come to the realization that the world and its peoples have reached a grand crescendo of material force of such magnitude that, like a monster Frankenstein, it can only destroy those who have created it. In the face of this monster we turn to the love and understanding of our fel­ lowmen not only for spiritual uplift, as in the past, but for material salvation. Awesome indeed is the task placed before you of tliis graduating class of 1946. For die ways of love are not eas­ ily followed, nor are the demands of love readily fulfilled. National enmities bom in the dim past of early history are to be adjusted; economic injus­ tices nurtured through centuries of selfishness and greed are to be erased; racial intolerences produced by eons of ignorance and prejudice are to be eradicated. Only through growth and accomplishment so monumental can the world survive. May you carry with you from your years at St. Helen’s Hall Junior College some of the tools which you will need: the intelligence to cast aside unreasoning beliefs and groundless convictions; the vision to conceive of new ways of living and more satisfy­ ing relationships among men of all nations and all races; the character to hold firm to higher ideals and concep­ tions; and the spiritual strength which alone can enable the men and women of this new world truly to love one another. May you realize anew each day the lasting meaning of the words of John: “...he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?" OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 5 �SUMMER 19 9 9 As American was drawn into World War II, the need for trained nurses increased. "Nursing is a career which opens new fields of service, advancement, and opportunity.” States an early ‘40s copy of the College’s catalog. The War Years Elia Leibold Bubenik *43 remem­ bers when World War II began. “I remember President Roosevelt’s radio address in 1942. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on a Sunday and the United States declared war on Monday or Tuesday. We were in the rec room, that’s what we called the student lounge. And when he announced that we would go to war with Japan, my Japanese-American classmates began to cry. I was young and I don’t think I fully understood the significance, but they did. Now I think back and it is so sad. That was in December. By February, they had to leave school. I know at least one girl and her family were sent to one of the [internment] camps in Idaho. I don’t know where the other girls were sent, but I had another JapaneseAmerican friend in Portland who was also sent to Idaho, so I guess that’s where they went from Portland. They were American born, but their parents were from Japan. Only a few returned to St. Helen’s Hall.” The war effected other students in less significant ways. Dale Thompson Boon ‘42 remembers commuting to school from Tigard. Her mother taught at Benson High School and Dale rode into town with her each morning. The head­ lights of their car were equipped with hoods to prevent the light from shining upward. "The windows of our homes were blacked out and when we arrived at school, espe­ cially in the winter mornings, the Sisters had dark shades over all of the windows at St. Helen’s Hall. ► From a 1945 newspaper: “Miss Theresa Arnreiter (left), and Miss Betty Sturgeon [Gowans ‘45] of St. Helen’s Hall junior college, put finishing touches to costumes they will wear in the fashion show to be staged by the junior college Wednesday at the annual membership tea to be given at Irvington club by the Multnomah county unit of Pro America while Miss Jeannette Dentler of the tea committee watches.” I The idea was to keep the Japanese planes from identifying the city at night. There was a lot of fear that the Japanese would bomb. I remember all of us would gather in the lavatory every morning to put on our makeup where we had light." Another alumna recalls, "The Hall was my first exposure to Episco­ palians and to nuns. Their dress was a curiosity to me. We had to take religion classes and they sep­ arated the Episcopalians and the non-Episcopalian students. Sister Marion Elizabeth taught the class. She made a real effort not to indoc­ trinate us. We had a few Jewish girls in the class as well. We spent most of our time getting exposure to and learning about other reli­ gions. But with the war, the Sister Superior began calling me into her office once a week. I had not been baptized and the Sister seemed genuinely concerned that some­ thing terrible would happen to me during the war. I guess she was worried that I might die having not been baptized. I was stubborn and I did not join the church. Eventually I did join the Episcopal Church, but it was much later.” Elia recalls, “Because we were a girl’s school, the war did not effect academics much, but it effected us in other ways. There were no nylons, but then we couldn’t have worn them to school anyway, so that didn’t matter. There were not many boys in town during the war, so we didn’t date much. We had to find other things to entertain us. There were a few servicemen around. One of my classmates had a cabin down at Ocean­ side, so we used to go ▲ The girl’s science experiments woe even enough down there on occasion to garner media coveragefrom a 1942 newspaper: to see the Navy and Coast Guard men sta­ Students of St ] Bien’s Hall junior college tioned at the coast.

She would send over what she could, but we were always missing ingredients. It was a good lesson in learning to substitute ingredients. That’s real life.” were sad about the closing, but there is still a bond after all of these years.” Dale Thompson Boon, “I have strong feelings about the school even today. My son gradu­ ated in the first class of Bishop Dagwell Hall in 1969 and my grand­ daughter attended Oregon Episco­ pal School in the lower school. I still feel a connection.” Peggy Dietrich perhaps summarizes the Junior College best, “It was a school way ahead of its time. Now you see JC’s all over, but progressive ideas don’t always work at first.” S 1 u M M E R 9 9 9 The End of an Era After World War II, the college was faced with needing better facilities which would have required consid­ erable indebtedness. The Sisters had left, and the school was now faced with higher administrative costs. In 1947, the board, after long deliberation, decided to close the Junior College. The class of 1948 would be the seventeenth and final graduating class of St. Helen’s Hall Junior College. Elizabeth Little ‘35 says, “It was a special school. We ▲ The library of the Junior College contained over 5,500 volumes. One of thefinest possesio ns of the library was the Mary B.

Helen Mills Stoll ‘44JC During WW II, instead of a “class play,” we carried on a "school project,” sponsored by the Red Cross. The drama and vocal students put on an old-fash­ ioned “meller drammer,” including the villain, hero, maiden-in-distress, and her mother, written by [facul­ ty member! Carolyn Collett. The play was followed by olio acts, including a Can Can, approved by our Mother Superior, but disap­ proved of by a few students! We toured USOs, the Port of Embarkation, Gearhart Coast Guard Station, Fort Stevens in Astoria and Fort Canby at the mouth of the Columbia River, all during spring break. I We went to Fort Stevens. We saw (and were seen) and we conquered! We were treated royally by everyone. We were invited to eat lunch in die officers quarters, but since so many of us had brothers, boy friends, or fiances (yes, some of us were engaged to be married, including moi — to a paratrooper who was killed at “A Bridge Too Far”) we chose to eat in the mess hall with the enlisted men. Our chaperones dined with the officers. During our show after lunch, the enlisted men and officers hissed at the villain and cheered the hero in our production, and they whistled and stomped their feet and nearly raised the roof when we sang and danced old time songs (Come, Josephine, in my Flying Machine, etc.). And of course the Can Can finale brought the house down for sure. Stage door Johnnies were lined up for our autographs outside the stage door. Our dear chaperones and the Sisters had dutifully warned us of the ways of the world to be­ ware of. And we had our Code of Conduct to live by. The next day we were scheduled to cross the Colum­ bia River and go downstream to the mouth of the Columbia for our final Coast show at Fort Canby. The Commanding Officer of Fort Stevens offered his pri­ vate yacht for us to travel in! I remember being awe­ struck by everything white inside the yacht-white carpeting, white leather upholstery', white draperies. Everything dazzling white! Our twice-per-week compulsory' chapel services real­ ly paid off! We were told that the Columbia River that we would pass through was completely mined with explosives, in case the enemy tried to invade by the river. ‘ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me..." came to our minds. I remembered the 91st Psalm, and the 121st Psalm which 1 felt protected me. We traveled safely both ways. The men at Fort Canby were so isolated that we really felt sorry for them. We played volleyball with them before lunch. They loved our show. The GI’s lined up at the dock as we departed with tears of gratitude in their eyes. Really. Everyone representing St. Helens Hall Junior College felt very proud of our endeavor. 0 R EGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 7 �Sho^&jell GRADUATION A Beforeprocessing down the aisle at Trinity Cathedral, Heather Curl, Nick Merwin, and Shane Fisher take a moment for a photo. ▲ This year the senior class selected Upper School religion and philosophy teacher The Rev.

Graduates and former stu­ dents of St. Helen’s Hall, St. Helen’s Hall Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School: let us know where you are and where your alumni friends are. Our address book needs constant attention. We don't like to lose peo­ ple. While you are at it, tell us what you are doing and what you are thinking of OES. This collective, known as "the alumni," is the greatest reservoir of institutional history. Our school has changed tremendously over the years of our experience. How strange and unnatural it would be if it had not changed! Still, there are qualities and values of the past which are honored and which con­ tinuously guide OES. Even now, the school is changing and growing. We need to communicate and share our values with the school. The Belltower informs us of OES life today and of our past. But we need to pick up our pens, click our e-mail send buttons, visit the cam­ pus or attend OES events, to com­ plete the feedback loop. 1 I My experience with our school dates to early childhood. I was enrolled in the St. Helen’s Hall pre-school on S.W. 13th and Hall campus in 1954 or ‘55. I vaguely remember Scadding Hall as a temporary site for the pre-school before a new building was built on the east side of 13th Street. Scadding Hall had a long covered wooden staircase you climbed to enter the large gathering room, an improbable place to put 4 year olds. I attended grade school at St. Helen’s Hall, at the "old” campus through seventh grade, and finished eighth grade at the Nicol Road campus. I entered Bishop Dagwell Hall in the fall of 1965, its first year, and graduated in 1969. My three sisters, Lydia, Rebecca, and Kathryn, and my cousin Nancy graduated from St. Helen’s Hall. My parents were actively involved in the school. My father taught art and art history. Even my grandfather, a retired Stanford sociology professor, filled in for Miss McKirdie one year. In 1976 I accepted an offer to teach history at OES, which I continued to do until 1986. Around that time, my two children began OES careers of their own. Two years ago I was asked to join the Alumni Association board and started paying attention to the little known, but important, role it plays in our school. I realize that my experience with OES is unusual. However, many of us have had a close and rewarding connection with this school. In our youth, we all encountered thought­ ful, caring teachers and made last­ ing friends at this school. Now, we remember a myriad of experiences: teachers (and their idiosyncrasies!), certain books we read, administra­ tors, chapel rituals, athletic events, theater, singing, field trips, class­ rooms, campfires... achievements and tragedies. Our connection with the school may remain close or dis­ tant. If you are among the latter, consider reconnecting. Call an OES friend. Attend an alumni or other OES school event. The Alumni Association Board con­ sists of 13 to 15 volunteer alumni members, most of whom live in the Portland metropolitan area. We try to include some measure of repre­ sentation from different eras of the school’s history.

I consider myself very fortunate to be associated with OES. Through the halls of the campus over the decades, and the spirits of people who made, and make, the school work each day, we share some­ thing valuable. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting more of you.

But that is not how Ron sees it. “People think I fish all day, but this is a business, like anything else — marketing and writing, finance, customer service. The only difference is my office is the Andes. To be successful and build a name in this industry you have to focus on many different areas.” For the past four years, from November to April, he has guided in Patagonia along the foothills of the Andes mountains in southern Argentina. Then, from May to October, he returns to the northern hemisphere and guides along the Henry’s Fork in Idaho. During his senior year at OES, Ron, like all OES seniors, was required to participate in the Discovery pro­ gram. He approached a neighbor, Randall Kaufman, who is well respected in fishing circles and owner of Streamborn Anglers, for an internship. He took to the busi­ ness, if you will excuse the expres­ sion, like a fish to water and returned to work summers and holidays through college. After receiving his degree in English Literature from Washington University in St. Louis, Ron planned on taking a year off and then apply­ ing to graduate programs in writing. Through his friendship with Randall Kaufman and his work at Streamborn Anglers, Ron was able to find work guiding in Montana. The busi­ ness is, naturally, seasonal, and as the season ended he had planned to move to Missoula and spend his winter skiing. But through a “friend of a friend" he got the call and two weeks later he found himself guid­ ing in the Patagonian summer. The advances of technology, in particular cell phones and the inter­ net, are very important for Ron’s work. “It is truly a global world. While guiding I can send e-mails from Patagonia and keep in contact with customers or submit a story to a tourism magazine. The develop- 27 ments of the past five years have really made this feasible.” Despite his success, the real rewards come from seeing and sharing the family and daily lives of different cultures. Ron relates the story of a moving experience. “I was driving back into town and alongside the road was an old gaucho [cowboy] hitchhiking in his best outfit. I stopped and offered him a ride. He was headed into Junin (de los Andes) for his monthly trip off the estancia [ranch]....He didn’t speak any English and my Spanish isn’t so great, but we were able to communicate a bit. When talking about my home, the United States, he asked me “<j,Son gordas las vacas?” (Are the cows fat?) At that moment I realized his whole life had been the estancia. and the tiny town of Junin, and how different my experience has been....Moments like that are why I do this.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �THE 0ES FUND REACHES GOAL! ew.

At all ages, Dear Friends, In the best of all possible worlds, each of you—parents, alumni, parents of alumni, grandparents and friends of the school—would be able to spend a day at our school, visiting classes and talking with faculty and students about teaching and learning at OES. While I enthusiasti­ cally welcome each of you to visit, I know that is not always possible. In order to give you a clear picture of what OES students are learning, the faculty and I dedicate this edition of Belltower to the matter and manner of our program: our curriculum and pedagogy. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL In each area of study, we strive to measure ourselves against the best practices across the nation and to ensure our students are learning the most important skills in the most effective ways. Because our class sizes are small and our faculty includes many curriculum specialists, we are able to focus not only on the overall manner of teaching a class, but also on individualized learning in order to enhance the opportunities for each student. exciting project and one to which the faculty has given tremendous energy. I hope that within these pages, our alumni will recognize the familiar spirit of curiosity and mastery, attention to the individual student and challenging standards that mirror their own experiences at St. Helen’s Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall or Oregon Episcopal School. We learn a great deal about ourselves, past and present, from our alumni and their parents. If our articles inspire you, our alumni, to tell us about your own experiences as a student, we are eager to hear from you. we emphasize original research and independent thinking and foster studentto-student teaching. Every year, OES teachers review and enhance their curricula subject by subject and grade by grade. This year, however, we embarked on an ambitious project that will make our whole curricu­ lum, from pre-kindergarten through senior year, available for evaluation and constant development on our intranet. This information will also be available on the Internet for parents, alumni and others. With this technology we hope to continue progress toward one of our strategic goals: to continue to improve and enhance communication with OES parents. It is an 2 \Ne hope you will gain a better understanding of an OES education with this issue of Belltower, and that you will share our sense of excitement about the students and what they are learning. Seeing students interested in their teachers and eager for their work is the greatest joy of my job. O- Dulany O.

Science at OES I ooking at the extensive list of ;■ OES winners at the Northwest L Science Exposition (EXPO) research competition, one is impressed not only by the number of projects, but by the depth of scientific exploration made by our students. The school has been extremely successful at EXPO for the past few years in grades six through 12, winning many awards and accolades. What makes OES so successful from Lower School through graduation is an innovative curriculum that focuses on the development of a truly scientific, questioning mind. The National Science Education Standards (developed by the National Research Council) state, “Learning science is something that students do, not something that is done to them.” With this philosophy in mind, the science curriculum for all grades at OES has the distinction of being handson and partially student driven. Students follow a "what if?” question to its conclusion through creative controlled experiments. From Lego physics, bubble studies and wetland studies in Lower School, to classroom and indepen­ dent study projects in Middle School and Upper School, students partici­ pate in active learning. This engag­ ing approach helps them develop the skills to formulate and study their own “what if?” questions. Lower School “The most rewarding thing about teaching at OES are these amazing kids who love to learn, and who are not afraid to be smart and interested! Attitude is more than half the battle, and we don’t have an attitude problem here.” - Jane Kenney-Norberg Lower Schoo! science specialist OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Jane Kenney-Norberg is the Lower School science specialist at OES and is the heart of its innovative programs. “We are 99 percent hands-on,” says Jane. “I encourage kids to take risks and make mis­ takes in order to discover.” Under A Jessica Tsao and Peggy Moser, fifth grade, build models in Lego physics, part of OES' active learning. her tutelage, students in the class­ room and in special after-school activities learn to use their imagina­ tion and creativity in the scientific realm. To stimulate independent thinking, each project is described only once, leaving problem solving and discovery to the students. They also learn how to report their findings, starting with informal lab books in first grade and progress­ ing to full lab reports by fifth grade. Lower School teachers capitalize on the children’s innate curiosity and wonder by emphasizing the natural world in the study of science. Students learn to observe using all five senses and to draw their own conclusions. In this manner, they discover there is often more than one right answer—an impor­ tant understanding in many areas other than science. Emphasis is placed on the importance of each student’s ideas, no matter how unconventional. "Many of my best experiments have come from student ideas and innovations,” says Jane. "That's empowerment!” Along the way, science is integrated into other studies and unique pro­ jects abound. For example, a study of bears in the first grade covers 4 not only real bears, but also fiction­ al stories about bears. Students in the second grade are introduced to physical sciences by making and refining balloon-powered shoebox cars. Third grade studies turn to the environment, through exploration of the OES wetland and gardening experiments. In the fourth grade, science is integrated with the study of Northwest coast Native Americans. Students learn about the life cycle of salmon and dissect one. The program culminates with a three-day field study at the Oregon coast. For third to fifth graders, the Lego physics program provides valuable experience with gears, pulleys and computer pro­ gramming. The result of their work is presented every year at the Oregon Zoo. Middle School Following the “what if?” lessons of Lower School, every Middle School student conducts an independent research project each year. Projects are based on an area of interest and a line of questions developed by the student. For example, this year a team of students compared the ability of different portable water filtration systems to remove harmful bacteria. The students’ interest in the project was based on a school backpacking trip taken the prior year. Another student cre­ ated her own particle accelerator (based on instructions she found in a 1970s issue of Scientific American) and used the accelerator to test its effect on computers. Projects and studies in Middle School integrate biology, geology, and conceptual physics. Students are introduced to a scientific con­ cept or measuring device, for example, then apply it in self­ designed experiments both in and out of the classroom. Sixth grade students recently learned how to use a heart rate monitor which they connected to a classroom computer to collect and graph data. Working in groups, students developed specific tests to learn how the �monitor works, expanding their knowledge of the cardiovascular system in the process. Computers are a central part of the core curriculum. By the end of eighth grade, students are comfortable using computers the way scientists use them—as tools to collect, ana­ lyze and graph data. Each science class conducts at least one design technology project every year to reinforce these skills. All Middle School students have the opportunity to participate in EXPO, allowing them to see the work of other students and be judged by professional scientists and engineers. This year, 100 of the 150 Middle School students participated. OES students took first place in 11 of 13 categories and earned many second and third place awards as well. Specialized Learning for Future Scientists For students interested in pursuing careers in science, honors and elective courses are available. The school also offers a Science Scholars program which requires independent research and presen­ tations to professionals in the field. The program requires additional course work, such as Science, Technology and Society, a class that focuses on science-related issues such as bioethics. Other students may opt for independent study, defining, initiating and com­ pleting more extensive research projects by working with mentors at OES, local universities or research centers. OES twelfth grader Blake Piper worked with a chemistry professor at Reed College. Blake’s research project, “Photochemical Storage of Solar Energy by Polymer-supported Sensitization of NorbornadieneQuadricyclane System,” won a Best of Fair award at EXPO. As a result, he presented his work at the International Science and Engineering Fair held in Detroit, Michigan in May. SPRING 2 0 0 0 “Doing research like this and being able to work so intensely on one project has encouraged me in science in a way I don’t think any class could," Blake said. Middle School teachers Angela Hancock, Lisa Lockwood and David Bermudez believe that stu­ dents learn best when they work on both sides of a problem. Students are given many opportunities to both develop and answer questions themselves. “Content is important," says Bermudez, “but discovering ways to ask and answer their own questions is more important.” Upper School “What if?" science projects and discoveries go a step further in Upper School. Students are chal­ lenged to refine and perfect their questions and arguments, working toward innovative experiments and solutions. They seek guidance within and outside the school as necessary. Students begin with physics, followed by chemistry and biology. ▲ Melissa Radecki won first place in the medicine category’ at EXPO. As in Middle School, independent research projects are emphasized; some courses address this require­ ment with team projects, while others stress individual and small group projects. In Upper School, approximately 25 percent of class­ room and homework time is devoted to independent project work. ▲ Freshman Lindsay Eyler used digital video to create her study. 5 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 2 0 0 0 ▲ Upper School students Blake Piper, Chandler Hatton and Jordan Wirfs-Brock celebrate at EXPO 2000. Technology and Science Technology is a major component of many Upper School research projects. A number of students have used digital imaging technology in their projects with impressive results. Chris Icombe mapped forest use in the Pacific Northwest. Evan Ackerman and Tanny Phillips used digital imaging to map and compare Mars and Venus volcanoes. Tenth graders Chandler Hatton and Jordan Wirfs-Brock mapped and compared small volcanoes on Venus with underwater terrestrial volcanoes. The five were invited to present their research at the International Science and Engineering Fair. All five students recently presented their research at PICS 2000, a con­ ference of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology. They were honored to be among the first high school students ever invited to present at this conference. Another use of computers for re­ search involved student analysis of digital video to study motion in reallife contexts. This year, one student used the technology to study the impact of a ballerina’s foot landing on different floor systems, while two others studied the impact force of soccer balls against players’ heads. Independent Projects, Initiative and EXPO OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL “Initiative is the hallmark of success in the science program. Students take the idea as far as they can go with it,” remarked teacher Rosa Hemphill. “Our students are suc­ cessful because their project ideas are innovative and they're dedicated to the final outcome.” They also make creative use of available technology. For example, tenth grader David Stearns used a toy digital microscope to sample and count the marks on radon detecting strips, a simple, innovative and cre­ ative use of technology to achieve a learning goal. While entrance in EXPO and other science fairs is not mandatory, many students choose to partici­ pate to learn more about the scien­ tific process. “Students enjoy the EXPO experience because they like the opportunity to show off their work and receive feedback from professional scientists and engi­ neers. They also get an opportunity to interact with students from other schools," said science department chair Bill Lamb. “Most kids take their work more seriously if it will be evaluated by someone outside the OES community.” OES students have met with remarkable success because, as Lamb says, “Smart, motivated students are matched with excel­ lent, demanding science teachers and a well-organized curriculum that focuses on posing and answer­ ing scientific questions—it would be surprising if they did not succeed.” Like Middle School students, OES Upper School students had remarkable success at EXPO this 6 year. Eleventh grader Melissa Radecki won first place in the medicine category for her project, “Determining Protein Associations Critical in Glaucoma." For three years, Melissa worked with a research group at the Casey Eye Institute. Melissa was awarded authorship on some of the research reports because she was a creative, contributing member of the team. She also was the second author on two papers this year. Eleventh grader Kenny Gundle won first place in behavioral and social sciences for his two-year study, “The Age at Which an Adolescent First Drank Alcohol as a Predictor of Adolescent Substance Use." Jennifer Percy and Trevor Wilson also won first place in their cate­ gories (physics and computer science, respectively). These are just a few of the high­ lights of the innovative and ground­ breaking work OES students are doing. See page 7 for complete list of winners. Looking Ahead Research, while fundamental, is not the only focus of the science curriculum at OES. In day-to-day classes, activities and labs, empha­ sis is on concept development and critical thinking. While programs are excellent, the department could greatly expand its curriculum with additional equipment and facilities. For example, a greenhouse on campus could house student plant projects and support the biology and life sciences curriculum. Additional facilities also would allow students to do more tissue culture and biotechnical work. Chemistry class experiments could be greatly expanded by the addi­ tion of hoods and proper ventilation in the labs. The Upper School science program, while hugely successful, is bursting at the seams. As we look to a campaign for further campus development, a science facility is a key component, thus affording students the ability to continue hypothesizing and creating innovative answers to their “what if?” questions. �OES Science EXPO Winners At EXPO this year, Oregon Episcopal School was honored with the OMSI Award for school with the most outstanding research program.

In May 1999, the OES Strategic Plan Curriculum Committee presented its report to the Board of Trustees. The report was the culmination of a year of research and discussion by the members of the committee, which included faculty, parents, adminis­ trators, trustees, alumni and an Upper School student. One result of the research was the creation of an ongoing, all-school curriculum committee. This com­ mittee will serve as facilitators to: • Map the curriculum from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. • Analyze, review and improve the curriculum on an annual or bien­ nial basis, seeking consistency, continuity and balance. • Address issues of technology and Oregon education law. This committee has been hard at work since last summer planning for the recommended curriculum mapping and review. Curriculum mapping is a procedure for collecting data about our cur­ riculum that includes content, skills and assessment for every grade and subject. The process allows each teacher to present an overview of what students will learn during the year. Curriculum mapping is a very useful tool for creating a big picture for curriculum evaluation. The process addresses the many challenges of communication within and across divisions of the school. It provides realistic, current infor­ mation about the curriculum which is essential for effective decision making at every level. Curriculum mapping allows us to edit, review, validate and develop curriculum and assessment with confidence and in context. Teachers and committees in every division can use the overview of current curriculum to build on previous years with more authenticity than OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 8 ■ �SPRING 2 0 0 0 is currently possible. They will be able to make cogent decisions because they will have accurate information about what is being taught across the grades. A curriculum map also can be used to align our curriculum with any standards we choose to create or adopt, such as the State of Oregon standards or those of various aca­ demic discipline organizations. Since September, every teacher has drafted a curriculum map for each subject he or she teaches. This information has been entered in a large database, which allows immediate, school-wide access to the data as well as analytical and sorting capabilities. The database will allow us to zoom in on a specific curriculum at any grade level or pull back for a wide-angle view. In addition to the database, the mapping process will produce a curriculum summary document written for parents and students. All members of the community will be welcome to consult both versions. Paper copies are being distributed for the first stage of the editing process. Soon the database will be available on more campus computers and we will begin the process of reading the maps across the grades. We expect the first draft of the curriculum map to be completed this summer, with the summary document completed during the 2000-01 school year. - Sidney Gold Head of Lower School and Curriculum Committee Chair ▲ Tope Sosanya, eighth grade, works with students at Vose Elementary as part of his service learning. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 9 �SPRING 2 0 0 0 Writing Program in Lower School Learning to write is an ongoing process at OES. The success of the writing program becomes more and more visible as Lower School writers move on to Middle School and Upper School. They take with them the ability to express them­ selves as writers, thanks to the efforts and outstanding work of the Lower School writing program. At the Lower School level, writing is taught in an organized and sequential manner. The underlying belief is that children want to write and given the proper tools, all children can become good writers. From the day they learn to hold a pencil or a crayon in their hands, children want to communicate effec­ tively. Learning to write their names or the alphabet and practicing spelling and grammar are the first steps leading to a more focused writing process. Such a process allows young children to write their ideas, feelings and thoughts with clarity and fluency. “This is a picture of when we were at the wetlands,” writes one kinder­ gartner. Another student studying shapes concluded: “I learned a lot about diamonds and pumpkins. You can cut paper diamonds in half and you can make stories out of paper pumpkins.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Given the opportunity, kindergartners can write stories about everything. The complexity of written thought from four and five year-olds sup­ ports a deeply ingrained belief at OES: when given the latitude and skills, children will write to inspire, reflect and mature. Of course, in kindergarten, innovative spelling is accepted and welcomed as a step­ ping stone to creative writing. The kindergarten writing experience also introduces children to the concepts of editing and revision. Teachers use images and symbols to encourage kindergartners to improve a sentence or paragraph. Toward the end of the year, the young writers go through a formal process. They construct a few ideas, explain what they like about their writing and what they wish they could do differently. The process is called “Two Stars and A Wish." “I like this because the d’s didn’t trick me,” one little girl wrote. “I like it because it is to my mom. I like writing letters. I made a question mark. They are very fun!” “We see them as writers and immerse them in good examples of literature,” said Jean Patsis, a lan­ guage arts specialist in the Lower School. She says OES establishes parameters so the children see a purpose and have a standard to go by. “Having a purpose and motiva­ tion for writing encourages students to do their best,” she said. By the time students enter first grade, they are encouraged to write self-reflectively using their own voice and inspiration. By then, they have learned to revise and edit their own compositions. “We focus on the basic writing process,” Patsis said. “But once they learn that, we change the focus. We expand their understand­ ing of new modes of expression— exposition, persuasion and report writing. We also challenge them to further their analytical skills.” In kindergarten, imaginative spelling opens the doors to the first written stories and compositions. In first grade, however, any student work that is published in the Lower School halls or student books requires standard spelling and grammar. In Lower School, having written work published is very important. Language arts studies in the 1980s 10 and 1990s show that children benefit from having their work pub­ lished. Publication provides children with a sense of validity and pride, the same feelings they craved by creating chalk or crayon drawings before they knew how to write. Publishing in the Lower School builds confidence and boosts the knowledge of those reading the work. Sharing information with each other via their published work provides a sense of camaraderie and understanding. Writing is integrated throughout the curriculum of the Lower School. Students practice their writing skills in their other classes. By the third and fourth grades, Lower School writers become more aware of sentence structure and styles of writing. Their understanding of poetic and creative writing sharpens. Editing and revision become expanded processes of self­ reflection and writing analysis. Ultimately, the process teaches children to be independent students, able to assess their own progress and reflect on future goals with sophistication of thought and an authentic purpose. - Mariana Alexander Development Office J i �“I, Richard Westlund, being of feeble mind and food-poisoned body, hereby and henceforth will the following to the following: To Chuck Reynolds, a two by two collage of all the H.D.L. problems he’s done this year (size inversely proportional to material available).

With the deaths of Robert Kennedy Jr. and Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, and the Vietnam War escalating, the future was uncertain. Back in Portland, two schools, Bishop Dagwell Hall (for boys) and Saint Helen’s Hall (for girls) spent a second year sharing what is today the OES campus. Among the gradu­ ates were Chuck Reynolds, Mark Workman and Richard Westlund. Their activities were varied: Chuck was the senior class president and newspaper editor; Mark played intra­ mural football, golf, and basketball; and Richard was junior class presi­ dent and partipicated in varsity track and field.

Jennifer will be going to the University of Puget Sound and John will attend Linfield College. All three say they have heard tales about the antics of the BDH boys, including one story about two boys who mailed themselves in a box to the girls dorm. These students and their parents remain active in the school community. Despite the changes in the name of the school, the Reynolds, Workman and Westlund families have remained committed. Who knows what we might see when we look at the graduation list for the class of 2031? 11 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 2 0 0 0 Focus on Endowment As part of an ongoing initiative to strengthen the school’s endow­ ment fund, the Development Office recently published a handbook titled, Foundation for the Future. The hand­ book provides an overview of the current state of the endowment, explains how the funds are used and encourages additional gifts. The following is a brief excerpt. Bishop Dagwell predicted that once the school secured “the necessary means for a beginning...it will be self-sustaining.” The future of Oregon Episcopal School is inextricably bound to the size, management and continuing growth of its endowment. Only through a strong endowment can the school continue its innovative programs, recruit and retain excel­ lent faculty and students and build and maintain modern facilities. At Oregon Episcopal School, gen­ eral endowment funds nourish the day-to-day quality of education, help moderate tuition increases and increase the long-term viability of the institution. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The endowment is the foundation upon which all school operations rest. The endowment is invested capital that generates funds, in perpetuity, to support Oregon Episcopal School. The school spends only part of the earnings of the endowment; the rest is reinvested to protect the principal against inflation. This ensures the buying power of the endowment will remain constant and increase over time. The school’s ability to remain faithful to its mission ▲ Second graderJane Whitmore reflects on an exhibit of Oregon Episcopal School’s history. decade after decade flows from the strength of its endowment. The importance of the endowment cannot be emphasized enough. Tuition covers only a portion of what it actually costs to educate students. Endowment income fills the gap between what an excellent education costs and what the school can reasonably charge. If Oregon Episcopal School is to remain a leader among schools, additional support for the endow­ ment is needed. The school uses endowment income to support three principal areas: • Financial aid • Program development and enrichment More than 40 named endowments have been established by individual donors in support of one of these three areas. Donors can make a gift of any size to existing endowment funds or create a new named endowment fund. The new fund may be named for the donor or others the donor wishes to honor. Gifts make it possible to maintain excellence at all levels within the school, and will make an important difference in the quality of educa­ tion over time. People who make gifts to the Oregon Episcopal School Endowment are honoring the school’s history and are dedi­ cated to its future.

Eleanor Poorman Hamilton, class of 1926, has most certainly achieved significant success in her professional career and made outstanding contributions to her communities. After gradua­ tion from St. Helen’s Hall, she received a B.A. in psychology from University of Oregon. She later earned her M.A. and Ph.D. from Columbia University in counseling and marriage and family life. She has had a long and distinguished career as a certified sex therapist and marriage counselor. Early in her career, in the 1940s and ’50s, Eleanor and her husband took in unwed, pregnant women, assisting them with adoption arrangements and helping other women gain access to contraceptives—all while rais­ ing four children of their own. In the ’60s, Eleanor began counseling and writing articles for Modern Bride magazine, helping educate women and men about sexuality. Through­ out her career, she has written and published several books, among them Partners in Love, Sex Before Marriage, New Approaches in Intimacy and Sex, with Love. She also has been socially active, advocat­ ing the right of free speech, protecting the environment and promoting greater under­ standing of sexuality. More recently, Eleanor’s work has focused on aging and sex­ uality. At age 90, she writes a weekly column titled "Living and Loving” which appears in the Point Reyes Light, a community newspaper in Northern California, and she offers her counseling services in Portland, Oregon. Today, this outstanding graduate of the class of 1926 continues to challenge our understanding of sexuality and our tolerance of each other. Of her years at St. Helen’s Hall, Eleanor recalls Sister Alice Ursula as her favorite teacher. "She was alive, vital, enthusi­ astic and imbued with the joy of life,” she said. “I was blessed with great teachers who took an interest in me." ► Eleanor Hamilton ’26, Distinguished Alumni of the Year. Eleanor could not have more accurately described herself, and the OES, SHH and BDH alumni are certainly blessed with an alumna who continues to take such interest the school and the larger community.

The days centered on activities intend­ ed to give students an appreciation and awareness of the environment. Earth Day 2000 Three half-day activities were planned. In one session, students helped restore a portion of the Fanno Creek watershed by planting and protecting trees and removing invader species such as blackber­ ries. To the surprise of many, the students thoroughly enjoyed tear­ ing down the blackberry brambles, making way for other growth. A second session was spent exploring the Willamette River from OMSI to Willamette Falls. The session included a presentation on the history of the Willamette, and a study of water quality issues and wildlife along the river. One group was lucky enough to spot a pair of nesting bald eagles. ▼ Middle Schoolers Alexandra Barnes and Claire Longfield work on their Earth Day art project. The third half-day was spent work­ ing on art projects on the OES campus. Students were introduced to the work of Andy Goldsworthy, well known for his nature sculp­ tures. Sixth grade parent Fernanda D’Agostino, familiar with Goldsworthy’s work, thought that creating nature sculptures would be a wonderful Earth Day project for students. She passed the idea on to Earth Day planners. Her hus­ band, photographer Brian Foulkes, agreed to take pictures of the resulting artwork, seen here and on the cover. Sixth and seventh graders created nature sculptures a la Goldsworthy all over the OES campus. They explored Native American ideas about the earth and made dream catchers. Eighth graders began a three-year art pro­ ject with guest artist, Lynn Takata. The students will create a thematic mosaic which will focus on the campus wetland environments. The resulting clay and tile pieces will be installed on the outside wall of the Middle School on Earth Day 2002.

Under their leader­ ship, the committee broke all records, netting approximately S32O,OOO for faculty professional development, technology training, AASK (our English as a second language service project with Vose Elementary) and financial aid. Bidding was ferocious during the live auction, as packages to New York, cooking classes, OES park­ ing spaces, wine and many other one-of-a-kind items led to some friendly battles. The highlight of the evening, however, was the outpouring of support for financial aid. Nive Filipo, class of 1988, gave a moving speech about the positive impact of her financial aid-supported OES education. OES supporters gave an overwhelming S54,195 toward this program, with Peter Stott and Julie NeupertStott matching an additional S25,OOO. ▲ Michelle Trumbo and Laurie Tumey, both Lower School parents, enjoy a break from the fierce bidding. ► Auction chairs Sharon Barnes and Susan Robinson pose with a friend during the Palm Trees and South Seas fundraiser. 23 �Shoxt&ell BISHOP SPONG VISITS OES CAMPUS ◄ Bishop John Shelby Spong honored OES with a visit on January 20th, 2000.

In addition to the remarkably full schedules of our stu­ dents and teachers as they pursue their educational goals together, all members of the school community have been engaged in the added activities of planning associ­ ated with building a strong future for our children, and the children to come. As those of you who are grandparents know very well, it is an instructive exer­ cise to think about the legacy we leave to the generations which follow. St. Helen’s Hall, the mother school for OES, graduated many young women who have become OES grandparents. Each year our 50th reunion class from St. Helen’s Hall “graduates” with our commencement class. It is important to me that they see the same commit­ ment to academic excellence and rigor in the Class of 2001 that they themselves experienced. Il is to that end that we are planning today for a strong future for the classes of 2026 and 2051. We work towards this future with a continuous eye on improving curriculum, the attention to professional development of teachers, the improvement of our facilities, and the strengthening of our endowment. We are at a period in the history of the school when insuring our future strength is a very high priority. As we plan for a strong future, it is more important than ever that we remain true to our school mission. Our mission depends on the central belief in the spirit of each member of our community, the spiritual journey that each of us travels as we live our lives and pursue our goals, and the relation­ ships and connections that foster our students’ future success and happiness. OES endeavors to provide our stu­ dents with opportunities for exploration and connections that ultimately fuel their dreams, enabling them to pursue OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 2 their own individual paths. This issue of the Belltower provides several examples of these journeys of exploration. You will read about the Labyrinth program, which has helped members of our community of varying ages and religions enhance their capac­ ity for meditation. You will hear the thoughts of a young OES student who was profoundly influenced by an expe­ rience the school helped provide: a meeting with the Dalai Lama. This issue’s alumni profiles of Courtney Voelker ’95 and Neal Goren ’75 exemplify the ways in which our graduates simul­ taneously live out their passions and enhance the lives of others. Finally, you’ll read about the retirements of five beloved members of our community, whose indelible influ­ ence on our students and alumni spreads far and wide. I hope those of you reading this Belltower, whether you are the parents of a child in the pre-kindergarten, or a gradu­ ate of 1935, will recognize the fundamental principles guiding the education offered at Oregon Episcopal School. The only good reason for change is improvement: we always hope that the changes we initiate are in the service of deep and unchanging principles of quality education and service to others, based in a belief that we are God’s children, using our gifts to our utmost.

Founded in 1869 as St. Helen's Hall, Oregon Episcopal School today is a pre-K through 12, coeducational, independent, college preparatory school in the Episcopal tradi­ tion. A full boarding program is offered in grades 9 through 12. Exceptional teachers engage students in small classes that stress participation, creativity, and a passion for active learning and living. Within a tradition­ al framework, dynamic programs in the fine and performing arts and athletics encourage student participation. Located on the Pacific Rim, the School emphasizes global studies and an international outlook. Responsible citizenship, ethics, and community service are important at OES, a school where stu­ dents are encouraged to reach their fullest potential in a loving and caring environment. 20 Class Notes 2001-2002 BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Rl.

Few of us can imagine making a spiritual journey or pilgrimage in a half hour within a space that is just 40-feet-square. With the OES Labyrinth, it is possible. A labyrinth walk is a meditative tool. Labyrinths have been around for over 4,000 years and are found in nearly every major religious tradition in the world. Labyrinth walkers move in any manner they choose along the path that, unlike a maze, has one unbroken direction. The walks are silent, take about an hour, and are undertaken for different reasons: some walkers of a labyrinth seek joy and renewal, some seek answers, others find no answers but reach acceptance. One of the people who has done the most work to revive the labyrinth has been Rev. Lauren Artress, who in 1992 brought the form to Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. The labyrinth there is a replica of the Chartres Labyrinth in Paris, France, circa 1220. Since then, over one million people have walked the labyrinth at Grace, and several hundred other labyrinths have been established around the U.S. The OES Labyrinth was officially dedicated on January 6, 1998, after an odyssey of planning, preparation, and production led by Lower School art teacher Shelley Stoffer and Lower School chaplain LouAnn Pickering. Both had visited the Labyrinth at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and had an epiphany: Why not at OES? The portable labyrinth that resulted al OES is composed of four continuous lengths of canvas, and is an exact replica of the one designed into the stone floor of Chartres. A small group of OES faculty and parents and members of St.John the Baptist joined together on weekends for nine months in 1996 and 1997 to pencil out the eleven circles and the six rosettes al its center. They selected the right color— purple acrylic house paint—and painted the lines of the path based on precise mathematical calculations. Shelley trained at Veriditas Labyrinth Project at Grace Cathedral to become a labyrinth facilitator and heads up the Friends of the Labyrinth Guild made up of OES teachers, parents and members of St. John the Baptist. The Guild schedules and staffs regular walks for members of the OES commu­ nity (including students, parents, and faculty, and other friends of the school) in the OES gymnasium. Shelley traveled to Chartres Cathedral during this May to continue her studies and training. Lower School parent Peg Edera has been a very involved member of the Labyrinth Guild, and says, “What 1 love about it is that it literally changes the pace of my busy life. Il’s done in silence, but in community. The experi­ ence of walking the labyrinth is nurturing and sustaining...it’s really a gift to everyone who does it.” Peg wrote the Labyrinth House mission statement, which she says is a work-in­ progress: “Offering a sacred place and resources for journeys of faith, renewal and discovery.” “OES is a perfect place for a labyrinth,” says Shelley Stoffer. “There’s a deep strain of spirituality that runs through the OES community. Those who are drawn to walk the labyrinth are not necessarily affiliated to any particu­ lar religion, but they find it a way to get to their spiritual center very quickly.” ▲ Shelley Staffer, OES faculty member and labyrinth facilitator, holds up a carved model identical to the OES labyrinth 4 �Reflections on Meeting the Dalai Lama SUMMER 2 0 0 1 OES eighth grader, Margaret Savinar, earns rare opportunity to meet a hero X T Then the Dalai Lama, exiled temV V poral and spiritual leader of Tibet and Nobel Prize winner, appeared in Portland to sold-out crowds, eighth grader Margaret Savinar was thrilled to be among just 200 Oregon and Southwest Washington students to meet with him for a work­ shop. “I have read so much about him, and 1 find him so interesting; it was amazing to realize that I would actually meet this man.” Several other OES students were able to attend the Dalai Lama’s “Educating the Heart” Youth Summit, during which he introduced the basic princi­ ples of conflict resolution, peace and non-violence to thousands of area middle and high school students. Middle School chaplain Mike Devenney organized the student group from OES and was the Summit’s contact person for all the independent and parochial schools in the area. Margaret composed a heartfelt essay that resulted in her inclusion in the smaller gathering of 200 students: “The Dalai Lama believes strongly in peace. He believes that the best way to control anger is with love. He also strongly believes that humans should respect and take care of their environment... [After meeting the Dalai Lama] 1 hope to spread his words and good deeds...To have the privilege of sharing a room with him, to hear his voice ring through Portland—that would be an experience I could pass down to my grandchildren." T~*ollowing were Margaret’s thoughts JL after the Summit and workshop with the Dalai Lama: Belltower: What was the atmosphere at the Youth Summit, and how did it feel to be part of such a small gathering with the Dalai Lama afterwards? Margaret: The atmosphere in the larger youth summit was amazing. I have never been anywhere where that many people were completely silent and paid attention 100% of the time.. The Dalai Lama has so much charisma and presence, yet there’s no feeling of separation. He has such a wonderful sense of humor and he is so respectful and observant. The smaller gathering was the most exciting moment in my life. When His Holiness first came in, the doors swung open, and about ten of his monks walked in and there was a lot of security. Then, all of a sudden, a small man walked in with a huge grin on his face. He seemed happy to see each and every one of us and yet a little surprised that there were 200 people there to see him. I cannot describe my feelings when 1 first saw him...Tears filled my eyes, and 1 realized how lucky I am to have met such a hero. Feelings of security, hope, and eternal peaceful­ ness were just a small part of what I felt. His words and thoughts will forever affect me. BT: How does the Dalai Lama feel you, as young people, can best foster peace and non-violence in the world? Did he give you any specific advice? MS: The Dalai Lama focused on each and every one of the students at his Summit, and on [the world’s] youth in 5 in general. One of his points is that your appearance isn’t what matters, it is your “brain and your warm heart.” He wants us to work together, and said, “I am of the old generation. You are the new. You are the 21st century genera­ tion. It is up to you how you change it.” [He said that 1 it is up to each indi­ vidual to be motivated by positive energy. This positive energy comes from the other people around you, who also want to achieve peace, kindness, and compassion. He counseled us against negative reactions such as anger, bitterness, or jealousy. BT: How do you hope to share this experience with others at OES as you continue next year in the Upper School? MS: 1 plan to spread the Dalai Lama’s teachings to as many people as I can. 1 attended this summit in the hopes of benefitting others. Every day of my life, 1 will make an effort to pass on the word and teaching of His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. 1 hope that everyone 1 meet will be affected because of what he has taught me. 1 have OES to thank for this opportunity. 1 would also like to thank Mike Devenney for supporting me, and guiding me through this process.

Other activities included canoeing in the OES wetlands, learning how to be a reporter, and biking in Champoeg Park. Lia Kim ’03 took first place in Oregon’s District 1 Golf Tournament and later was named State Champion this spring. She additionally has been invited to compete in this summer’s National High School Coaches Association (NHSCA) Open National High School Championship in Florida. Incidentally, Lia also has held the Korean record for speed skating since she was in the first grade. Stay tuned to see what’s next for this upcoming OES junior. OES BOASTS NEW SCOREBOARD UPPER SCHOOL TUTORS SHARE THEIR TALENTS Several generous donors in the OES commu­ nity raised money to secure the first official scoreboard for OES’ lacrosse and soccer field. A celebration in May was marked by a blessing by LouAnn Pickering, cheers of thanks from the US pep squad, and a performance by the fourth grade “Pep Squad in Training.” Adam Hewitt ’01 and a prot£g6 join forces to solve a math problem. The AASK Program, a partnership between OES and Vose Elementary, offers mentoring and tutoring for the students of this neighboring school, many of whom speak English as a second language. During its three-year tenure the program has proven to be remarkably successful at improving the academic skills of OES’ Vose friends. 7 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SUMMER 2 0 0 1 THE SCIENTIST ___ MAESTRO OES Alumni Pursue their Passions OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL It’s natural to be awed by OES alumni Courtney Voelker ’95 and Neal Goren ’75. Courtney was a Westinghouse Science Finalist as an OES senior, co­ holds a patent for a process that extracts taxol from the Pacific yew tree for use in cancer treatment, and in her early twenties has already pub­ lished several articles in scientific journals about her research in various areas of medicine. Courtney’s most recent honor: she was named one of just 32 American Rhodes Scholars this year, and will pursue a doctoral degree in Human Anatomy and Genetics at Oxford University this fall. Neal graduated from OES at the age of 16, breezed through Reed College, was admitted to Yale Graduate School of Music but passed in favor of the prestigious Watson Fellowship, which look him to London to study with renowned cellist Jacqueline du Pre. He made his conducting debut before he turned 35, and has collabo­ rated with Kathleen Battle, Luciano Pavarotti, and Itzhak Perlman. Manhattan’s Henry Street Chamber Opera, an arm of NYC’s famous Henry Street Settlement, just named him their Music Director. The list of accomplishments for both of these OES alumni goes on and on. Yet after just a brief encounter with either Courtney Voelker or Neal Goren, one is struck as much by their humility and self-effacing manner as by their resumes. Both have remarkably selfless motivations behind their extra­ ordinary success, and it’s easy to see that we will be hearing more about them both in the years to come. COURTNEY VOELKER ’95, OES’ FIRST ALUMNA RHODES SCHOLAR /^^ourlney Voelker ’95 has a passion V_>for neuroscience that is fueled by a fascination with “what lies ahead.” “With the rate neuroscience is growing, it’s anyone’s guess what will be learned in the space of just a few years!” she says. “These discoveries... are the key to providing practical help for those in desperate need of it.” Courtney’s interest and focus are inspired as much by personal experi­ ence as by intellectual curiosity. Her sister Jennifer suffers constant vertigo, 8 nausea, dizziness, and other symptoms as a result of head injuries suffered during junior high school, leaving her com­ pletely disabled. Courtney says going to numerous medical appointments with her sister as they grew up together has given her an added compassion for those who suffer. It has also moti­ vated her academically. “Through Jennifer’s constant struggles, 1 have also become aware that enormous numbers of people around the world endure the miserable results of neurological damage,” Courtney says. Il’s important not to mistake Courtney’s interest as simply idealism shaped by a traumatic personal experi­ ence, however; her strength as a scientist has been apparent since her years at OES. Courtney moved to Oregon with her family in 1986 to seek treatment for Jennifer at a renowned research and clinical center in Portland, after her accident. Courtney was enrolled in the fourth grade at OES. By high school Courtney was stand­ ing out in science and conducting independent research in laboratories at OHSU and at University of Portland. She investigated developing methods to extract cancer-fighting chemical taxol from the Pacific yew tree (her process was later patented) and low-density lipoprotein oxidation as it relates to atherosclerosis. She says these early research experiences were invaluable to �SUMMER 2 0 0 1 her, and credits OES’ science department for providing the opportunity to pursue her research and laboratory experiences. “The emphasis OES places on learning independently has served me very well...” Courtney says. “My years at OES taught me how to delve into a subject and come out on the other side having gained not just a familiarity with the topic at hand, but a realization that finding answers requires an individ­ ual commitment to problem solving.” Courtney was a national finalist in lhe 1995 Annual Science Talent Search for lhe Westinghouse Science Scholarships, now spon­ sored by Intel. She was admitted to Brown University’s Program in Liberal Medical Education (PLME), a highly competitive, eight­ year program during which students receive both an undergraduate and medical education. She spent her junior year studying neuroscience at Oxford University, and simultaneously conducted research on the develop­ ment of the nervous system in Oxford University’s Laboratory of Physiology. In 1999, she graduated from Brown University with an honors degree in neuroscience. Courtney was a second-year medical student at Dartmouth Medical School (as part of her Brown PLME program) this past year when she was named one of just 32 Rhodes Scholars. She addi­ tionally was awarded a Marshall Scholarship, but accepted lhe Rhodes, which will lake her back to Oxford University for two years, with lhe option of extending her study for a third year. Courtney will pursue a doc­ toral degree in Human Anatomy and Genetics with a particular focus on nerve regeneration. “I am really looking forward to beginning,” she enthuses. “1 feel very privileged to be able to work with MAESTRO NEAL GOREN ’75: AN OES ALUMNUS SHARES HIS MUSICAL GIFTS scientists [at Oxford] who are worldrenowned for their investigations on the aspects of nerve regeneration that 1 find especially fascinating.” After Oxford Courtney will return to Brown University to finish her medical degree, and says then she’ll do a med­ ical residency but hasn’t yet decided in what area. “In both the short and long terms, I hope to be able to work my hardest to provide some relief for those who suffer from medical conditions, and their families,” she says. “Specifically, I would like to focus my efforts on unrav­ eling the mysteries of the human body.” When asked about some of her fondest memories of OES, however, they aren’t only of microscopes and test lubes. “Memories of playing dodge ball in the fourth and fifth grades are espe­ cially fun! So too is lhe laughter my classmates and 1 shared at lunch tables over the years,” Courtney remembers. “1 learned something valuable from every teacher 1 had at OES—from fourth grade all the way through my senior year.” 9 CC A yf usic has done so much for 1-V-Lme in my life,” says Neal Goren ’75. “I’m committed to other young musicians—not just gifted ones—because one needs only a little bit of musical knowledge to receive classical music’s message. The best lime to start that education is as a child.” Neal himself began playing piano at lhe tender age of five; his older sister was struggling with her piano lessons and Neal would climb up on the piano bench and correct her mistakes. “I was not a real prodigy like Mozart, but I loved music and applied myself,” he remembers. “Like many professional musicians, I never perceived myself as ‘popular’ in my early school experi­ ences, so the piano became my best friend. As a result I gained a certain level of proficiency.” Modesty aside, Neal was not your average child plunking “Chopsticks” on the piano. By the lime he was 7 he was taking formal piano lessons and performing (“I definitely enjoyed the applause!”). By the age of 9 he was admitted to the summer program of Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, arguably one of lhe finest secondary arts schools in the country. He attended for four summers and one full year of high school, and says it changed his life. “1 found out that there were other kids like me,” he says. He made his mark at Interlochen, winning its prestigious concerto competition when he was 14. So how did this young musician end up in Portland, Oregon, at Oregon Episcopal School? After Neal’s mother died when he was a freshman in high school, he attended both Interlochen and North Carolina School of the Ans as a boarder, each for one year. When his teacher and mentor in North Carolina told Neal he was leaving the school to teach in NYC, Neal made the bold decision (with the support of his father) to follow an earlier mentor from Interlochen, Joan continued on page 12 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SUMMER Faculty Farewells DONNA CODY, 22-YEAR OES VETERAN AND LIFELONG LEARNER One of Donna Cody’s legacies is flour­ ishing just outside the windows of her former third-grade classroom: a series of tiered planter gardens she started with her 1995 class and nurtured as part of her stu­ dents’ annual science studies. Donna retired from OES this June after twenty two years of teaching third grade. “I have loved my job because students this age work independently yet are intensely curious,” she points out. Donna may have retired from teaching but she says she’s committed to “lifelong learning.” She and her husband, writer Robin Cody, will travel by car, boat and bike through Southern France for over a month next year. She hopes to fulfill a longtime goal of learning Spanish and trav­ eling to Machu Picchu. She will join a book group, finish a quilt her grandmother started for her years ago, and will eventu­ ally travel to China. Upcoming OES freshmen Scott Harwood and David Bow visited her classroom just before her retirement. “They couldn’t believe how tiny the desks are. They heard I was retiring and came by to say goodbye—it was very touching.” NANCY DOULIS: OES MATH GURU FOR TWENTY YEARS After two decades of teaching math at OES—pre-algebra, algebra, geometry, cal­ culus—Nancy Doulis is ready to stay home this fall, spruce up her garden, and travel to Sicily and Greece. “I have so many things I’m looking forward to doing: translating a Greek novel, sewing, and spending more time with my children,” she says. Nancy has seen changes in how math is taught over the years. “The biggest change is that we look at threads that run through the curriculum—how algebra, geometry, and other types of math relate to one another—instead of focusing on how they’re different and distinct from one another.” She admitted that one thing didn’t change in the twenty years since she started leaching math. “My students are always baffled by how anyone could ever come up with a theorem, but you probably wouldn’t hear them say that about a great novel or poem. It’s still hard for students to believe that it’s okay to be passionate about math.” “What’s really exciting is seeing students who’ve been struggling get better,” she says. “It’s a joy to see them take off when the light comes on.” Nancy will miss her colleagues, students, and the atmosphere of community al OES. “OES students are fun to teach.” she says. “It’s been great to come to work every day!” MARIE WINSTON RETIRES AFTER 12 YEARS AS PRE-K TEACHER OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Pre-kindergarten teacher Marie Winston laughs as she relates the memory of one of her class’ annual field trips to OMSI. “Our bus was suddenly surrounded by police cars who were apprehending a bank robber hiding in the area. The children were told to duck down...they of course thought this was just an added attraction.” This innocent view of things, which may be almost exclusive to individuals under the age of five, is part of what has made working as OES’ pre-kindergarten teacher for the past twelve years so gratify­ ing for Marie. Marie has been known for the artistic flair she brought to her classroom “centers” in which her students learned through creative activities. Each week showcased a different letter of the alpha10 bet; during a week focused on “B” her students might sort beans in the tactile center, cut out and decorate bears in the arts center, and count buttons in the math center. Several members of Marie’s first prekindergarten class will be OES seniors this coming fall, and Marie says it’s been fun to see them grow up. “I’ve developed such strong relationships with so many students and their families over the years—often I’ve had several siblings from one family, which has been a lot of fun.” Marie will enjoy her retirement, however; she plans to take art classes, vol­ unteer, “play a lot of tennis,” and spend more time with family, especially her young grandchildren. continued on page 12 �Goodbye to our Renaissance Man SUMMER 2 0 0 1 FATHER C. ROY COULTER RETIRES AFTER TWENTY YEARS ON THE OES CAMPUS The fanfare al Dean C. Roy Coulter’s retirement party said it all: he will be deeply missed by the OES community. Lower School Chaplain LouAnn Pickering escorted the guest of honor to the surprise all-school farewell ceremony in the OES gymnasium. The party commemorated his retire­ ment after twenty years as Rector of St. John’s Parish and Dean of the Diocese of Oregon. The party included poignant speeches by Kelly Kitchel and Kenny Gundle, OES lifers who graduated this year. Upcoming third grader Laurie Rumker delivered an eloquent description of Fr. Roy’s contributions to the lives of so many students at OES. Emotions peaked as the Upper School choir performed John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s “In My Life” and the Lower School choir sang “Children of the World.” The festivities concluded with an original song composed by Upper School Head Rob Brisk in Father Roy’s honor, sung by the entire school and attending faculty and friends. ■ ather Roy followed in the footsteps of Father Robert I"Greenfield as Rector of St. John’s in 1981, after eleven -1years as vicar of the Church of the Redeemer in Kenmore, WA and thirteen years as Rector of St. Paul’s Parish in Seattle. He eagerly took on Father Greenfield’s active involvement with OES and its students, occasionally teaching religion classes in the Upper School and often bringing students to visit St.John’s. Twelve years ago, he became the “assistant” to Lower School Chaplain LouAnn Pickering, and has delivered numerous Lower School chapel services in that role. When Father Roy preaches, he is guaranteed a rapt audi­ ence. He is perhaps best known for his moving sermons, which invariably draw from his knowledge and love of music, literature, and the arts. Even the most blasd finds it hard to resist Father Roy’s unique sense of humor and drama. “Father Roy has brought great joy to our whole commu­ nity, from the youngest pre-kindergarten student to the international Upper Schooler coming thousands of miles from Bangkok to OES,” says Head of School Dulany Bennett. Few of those who have been part of the OES community, whether students, parents, faculty or staff, have gone untouched by Father Roy’s ready smile, his upbeat nature, and his genuine interest in the well-being of others. The Rev. Canon Malcolm Manson, OES head from 1982 to 1990, still marvels at Father Roy’s extraordinary influence on OES students over the years. “I was always amazed at the closeness so many students felt with him. A perfect example was the baptism during commencement week of two dorm students, David Seow ’87 of Singapore and Masamitsu Mizoe ’87 of Japan,” he remembers. “It was clearly Father Roy’s relationships with them that moved them to do it.” “He has been a wonderful friend to the School, its stu­ dents, and its faculty and staff. He will be deeply missed by all,” says the Rt. Rev. Robert Ladehoff, Episcopal Bishop of Oregon. Father Roy’s relationships with those in the OES community reach beyond the campus; over the past twenty years he has performed the weddings of countless OES alumni and baptized their babies. He has been a general counselor to OES students and staff who “need to talk to somebody ‘out of the loop,”’ he says. “I’ve been in the school but not of the school, in a sense, so I’ve been able to provide that.” “Someone once said to me ‘as a priest you hear a lot of people’s troubles,”’ he says. “1 answered ‘yes, but 1 also hear their joys.’” Joy and love seem to be the predominant connections so many in the OES community have with Father Roy. Lower School Chaplain LouAnn Pickering says “He’s been every­ thing to me.” When Pre-K student Darby Rosette was asked how she felt about Father Roy, she delivered him a direct message: “Father Roy, you help people, you bless me, and 1 love you.” And what’s next? Father Roy will be interim dean of the Paris Cathedral in France this summer, hopes to organize travel groups to England, Africa and Israel over the coming years, and will continue his work with the Diocese. He also intends to continue his relationship with OES. “I’m looking forward to many more alumni marriages and baptisms ahead,” he laughs. 11 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SUMMER 2 0 0 1 The Scientist & the Maestro Brown, who recently had taken a job at University of Portland. He enrolled at OES in the fall of 1974. “I realized at this time that 1 was ready to move on to a musical career, and I was a pretty mature kid, so OES arranged for me to do my junior and senior years in one year,” he remem­ bers. “OES was the best academic experience of my life; it challenged me and 1 reveled in that.” His memories include learning manners from fellow classmate Meg Rogers (Furlong) ’75, waking at 5:00 a.m. ever)' morning to practice piano in the pre-dawn hours, and dis­ covering the new pipe organ in St. John’s—“a ravishing instrument with a beautiful sound.” To this day Neal credits his OES teacher Joseph Colmou with teaching him to write. Neal graduated from OES al 16, attended Reed College and graduated in 1979. He was awarded a scholarship Faculty Farewells continued from page 9 to Yale’s graduate program in music but instead accepted an IBM Watson Fellowship to study piano in London with eminent musician Jacqueline du Pre. After two years he returned to Portland, spent 6 months as a waiter to raise money to move to NYC, and then he “struggled, really, really struggled” as a musician playing piano accompani­ ment for voice lessons all over the city. Neal says he learned a lot, however, from the teachers whose lessons he accompanied. He began to do private work as a pianist, built up a practice, and soon was accompanying singers like Leontyne Price and Kathleen Battle in concerts. “It became apparent to me over a period of lime that simply being an accompanist would not be enough—1 was equipped for a greater challenge,” Neal says. “I studied with a good con­ ducting teacher and began to get work as a conductor.” Last summer Neal was asked by the head of music at Henry Street School of Music to start an opera company, The Henry Street Chamber Opera, and he accepted. About their debut in April of this year the New York Times acclaimed the Opera’s “delightful production of Mozart’s ‘Sogno di Scipione,”’ and lauded “the company’s music director, Neal Goren, I for drawing] a buoyant performance from the twenty five piece chamber orchestra.” Neal is committed to providing as many opportunities for musical education for children through the Henry Street Chamber Opera; it regu­ larly involves children in workshops and performs in Manhattan’s public schools. “Our children are the audience of the future,” he points out. “Besides that, music enriches people’s lives; it has done so much for me in my life, and I’d like to see that happen for other children.” continued from page 10 ALYCE DRESCHER, PRIMARY PIONEER, RETIRES AFTER 25 YEARS AT OES OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Alyce Drescher must have been doing things right as OES’ first Primary teacher. Several members of the Class of 2001—one of her early classes—just completed their senior year at OES as “lifers.” “I’ve grown so close to my students and their families over the years, and often had as many as four or five chil­ dren from one family—that has made it very special to be here as long as I have,” says Alyce. Alyce retired from the Lower School after 25 years of teaching—fifteen in primary and five years in both first and second grades. She was chiefly respon­ sible for getting the new primary program off the ground in 1973, to be available for those students who need more time to become developmentally ready for the first grade. “OES is a place where faculty and parents are very committed to educa­ tion. That is what makes it an especially stimulating place to teach,” she says. Alyce reflects that her relationships with the OES faculty—particularly in the Lower School—have always been very close connections. She laughs 12 when reminiscing that she and first grade teacher Mar)' Barthelemy teamtaught the primary' classes in the 70’s, before either were married or had hit their 30’s. After she and her husband, David, were married, they lived in Morris House on the OES campus until they saved enough money to buy their first house. She feels particularly close to the school for that reason. Alyce has rich plans for her retire­ ment. She will tutor first graders in her neighborhood elementary school, take classes, knit and quilt, improve her fledgling Spanish, and continue her volunteer work with the Oregon Food Bank. And thankfully for the community at OES, Alyce counts the school among her continued post-retirement commit­ ments. She plans to volunteer for the Admissions Office beginning this coming fall. “I couldn’t just leave OES—it’s been like a family to me!’’ she says. �The Anthill—and Our Aardvarks Then and Now!

HELEN’S HALL ADMINISTRATOR SISTER MARGARET HELENA NAMED HONORARY ALUMNA OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI AWARD PRESENTED TO FAMILY THERAPIST ROBIN KARR-MORSE rT''he 2000-01 Alumni Board announced their choice -L for this year’s Honorary Alumni Award at the reunion luncheon held on campus during June. Each year, the award is presented to an individual who exem­ plifies the spirit and mission of Oregon Episcopal School in their lives and work. This year’s recipient, Sister Margaret Helena, was an administrator, housemother, and teacher at St. Helen’s Hall from 1934 to 1944. She is the only living Sister among those brought from the Sisters of the Community of St. John Baptist, in New Jersey, to direct St. Helen’s Hall in 1904. Alumnae of the Hall still remember her fondly and speak of her extraordinary influence on them during their years at SHH. In honor of OES’ 125th anniversary year in 1994, Sister Margaret Helena traveled to the OES campus from New Jersey to reunite with members of the classes of the thirties and forties. Sister Margaret Helena was not able to travel from her convent in New Jersey to receive the Honorary Alumna Award in person, due to poor health. The attendees of the reunion luncheon were treated to a videotape of her accep­ tance, during which Sister Margaret Helena expressed her gratitude for the award and her continuing love for the school and its graduates. 18 TJortland-area family therapist, author and OES alumna JL Robin Karr-Morse was named the 2001 Distinguished Alumna during this year’s reunion festivities. The annual award recognizes and honors alumni of St. Helen’s Hall and the Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall and OES for their achievements in their professional careers and their contri­ butions to the community. Karr-Morse spoke at the reunion luncheon held on campus during June about her research on the effects of abuse and violence on very young children. Through her work as a therapist and as a consultant to the Oregon Legislature on children and family issues, Karr-Morse has focused on the need to study abuse and neglect during the first 24 months of life, and the impact it has on a child’s future. She and co-author Meredith Wiley wrote Ghosts from the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence, published in 1997. The book has been critically acclaimed for success­ fully tracing the biological and social factors in a child’s environment as sources for violence in later life. Karr-Morse was invited to deliver 86 keynote talks in the year 2000 alone, and has worked with Janet Reno and the White House on these issues. She is currently at work on a book that will examine the tools of depression and what can be done in the early years of life for children who are prone to depression. I �SUMMER 2 0 0 1 At the University, her accomplishments include the establishment of the Liltman Gallery. She brought in speak­ ers for the university and organized its commencements, raised money and organized events.

Patricia Kendall Apperson ’48 JC June 20, 2001 Pat graduated from St. Helen’s Hall Junior College in 1948, and was an important presence in the OES com­ munity over the years. She brought levity and happiness to many OES Alumni Board meetings, never appear­ ing without a smile, an infectious laugh, and an unmistakable sense of fashion. A major school event only rarely went by without her and her husband Jim’s appearance. Pat’s legacy lives on most vividly in the 125th Anniversary Rose Garden on the OES campus. Pat helped organize the trans­ formation of an ordinary yard outside the alumni offices into a beautiful garden. The final touch, also orches­ trated by Pat, was the creation of a rose developed especially for the school’s anniversary. Pat is survived by her husband, Jim, and her three sons Stephen, Craig, and Thomas.

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. And we continued on page 6 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL ▲ Jack O’Brien, Chair of the Performing & Fine Arts Department 4 5 AND �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 I i ▲ Biology teacher Peter Langley examines the properties ofpolysaccharides with his students. 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.

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.

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.

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. Graduating from the school is not a necessary step to becoming an alumnus!

During all those years, teachers and students have struggled to make sense of world events, while at the same time laying a firm foundation of knowledge, skills, and judgment to provide students with the ability to participate in the affairs of the world to come. Thus, in December of 1941, students were struggling to absorb and understand the onset of war, to learn its causes, and to make sense of the fact that a beloved fellow student, a girl from Japan, had just become “the enemy.” The young women from St. Helen’s Hall were taught that their minds and hearts were needed in the world. The Sisters of St. John Baptist, in particular, recognized and cele­ brated the talents and commitments of the students they taught, thus establishing a rich tradition of intellectual achievement combined with civic responsibility. Our alumni speak with one voice when they describe the legacy of their years at St. Helen’s Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, and OES. We are now facing a lime in our history when it is of central importance that our students develop wisdom and a commitment to being global citizens. The complexity of the challenges facing our leaders in the light of September 11 th, here in the United Stales and around the world, informs our work here al OES as well. Now, more than ever, our interna­ tional focus will help our students to understand the difficult choices our country faces. Our program at school is designed to give our children a developmentally appropriate level of awareness and concern about current events. Thus, our youngest students, who are only four years old, learn how to be good citizens of their classroom. Older students in Lower School focus on projects of material aids for the homeless in Portland and for chil­ dren in need around the world. Middle Schoolers learn about global issues, and their service pro­ jects involve traveling around Portland to offer services to a wide range of people through local agencies. Upper Schoolers have the benefit of studying with our res­ idential students from around the world, as well as classes and activities that directly address the major issues of the day. The difference between the challenges OES has always faced in shaping respon­ sible citizens, and the challenges we face today, have largely to do with the increasing sophistication of the media and its central focus on the violent occurrences of September 11 th and since. It is now impossible to protect our young children from the violent images of destruction, the understanding of the death toll on the East Coast or of extreme poverty of Afghanistan and other nations around the world. The danger is that our children absorb these images before they have the context or sophistication to understand them, or the sense that something can be done to help or change a situation. Helping our students to become global citizens means maintaining a balance between a sense of security in family and school and a growing understanding of the world and its problems. The balancing act is often a difficult one. Together we must develop strong and confident graduates, who are neither overwhelmed by the challenges before them nor unwilling to use their talents for the greater good of our country and our world. Rather, we strive together to help our children become citizens of the world, wise and skilled in their ability to build community wherever they are. Dulany O.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 2 0 0 1 Painting by Cathy Walitzhi '03 THE OES COMMUNITY RESPONDS On the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, The Reverend LouAnn Pickering says she was up earlier than usual when she turned on the television and learned of the events unfolding on the East Coast. Within minutes, she received a call from Head of School Dulany Bennett, and they began talking about what was happening and how the school could best serve the needs of its students. These initial conversations also involved Cindy McEnroe, Middle School counselor and coordinator of Counseling Services. According to Cindy, all of the divisions needed to “think on their feel” and draw upon the strength of the OES community in order to cooperate and collaborate in devel­ oping a plan of action for the day. Their goal was to maintain as much of the school day routine as possible, while creating an environment where children would feel safe and secure. They also wanted to provide students with information to help them understand what had happened, and with options and resources in order for the students to care for themselves and each other. With a rough blueprint on how to proceed, the school day began. Gold spoke to the children, reassuring them that they were safe and that the school would take care of them until they returned home. Then, Rev. Pickering opened the floor to the students to allow them to speak out, sharing their concerns and questions, along with their confusion, fright, worry, sadness and anger. PROVIDING CHOICES As students began to arrive in the Middle and Upper Schools, the divisions found some students knew of the events in New York City and Washington, D.C., while others were unaware of what had transpired. At the morning gatherings, faculty members explained the tragedy that was unfolding, answering questions as best as they could. In addition, all students were presented with options for their school day. Televisions remained on in the Upper School library and the Middle School Endeavour Commons, allowing students to watch the news reports accompanied by adults who offered additional perspective. Other students returned to class and their normal routines, with each class­ room teacher prepared to talk further with students as needed. Students could also choose to talk with a counselor, chaplain or other adult. Some chose to walk the OES labyrinth. Whatever choice they made, students were asked to honor the diverse groups and beliefs represented by the student body, and to be loving and supportive to one another in this time of need. MAINTAINING THE DAILY ROUTINE OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL For the Lower School, maintaining the daily routine meant starting Tuesday with a regularly scheduled chapel service. As the bell rang to call the children to the morning chapel, Rev. Pickering noticed others joining with them. Parishioners, faculty, staff and parents came also, silting in the back or with their children. Both Dr. Bennett and Mrs. 4 �CARING FOR THE YOUNGEST CHILDREN I came and walked. They held each other. They sat in the center. They prayed. One teacher said, “The labyrinth was like a rock in a sea of chaos.” In response to a great desire to do something, Shelley explains, “The ancient path of the labyrinth allowed individuals, both young and old, to do two very simple, yet profound things: people could walk and they could pray.” Throughout the day. Lower School students also had opportunities to express their fears, sadness and anger, while wrapped in the security of the OES community. First grade teacher Christine O’Toole appreciated this attention to caring for the children. “I was very grateful that Dulany and Sidney made both human and spiritual resources avail­ able to us.” In chapel, the children heard Rev. Pickering’s reassuring LIVING IN LOVE messages about a caring community.

Keith shared his anger and frustration with not being able to help the individuals trapped in the twin lowers. He praised the heroic efforts of his co-workers and other emer­ gency personnel who lost their lives as the lowers collapsed. He thanked those who provided food, water, equipment and resources to himself and others desperately searching for survivors. He answered questions from students wanting to know more, and Keith asked that his story be passed along so others would fully understand the extent of the devasta­ tion and destruction. RECOGNIZING OUR EFFORTS ▲ NYPD Officer Keith Chhe (right) and a coworker pause briefly from their search and rescue work at the World Trade Center. The school’s response has lasted longer than a day, a week or a month, and has gone beyond the confines of the campus. As we continue to carry prayers in our hearts for those who suffered from the tragic losses, we have also acted upon those thoughts and emotions. The entire OES commu­ nity has contributed in a variety of ways—from giving blood to fundraising, reflecting the very best of what the OES com­ munity represents. Upper School teacher Hope Stevens expressed the need to acknowledge the efforts of all, and especially of the faculty and staff who have continued to do their jobs since September 11, making life as normal as possible for students regardless of the impact of events on themselves. “We arc all doing our jobs and would not do otherwise, but it does lake its loll.” The events of September 11, 2001 have taken a loll on all of the country. Fortunately, the strength of the OES commu­ nity has allowed the school to take care of its own and to extend a hand of comfort to those impacted, both near and far. As Officer Keith Chhe remarked in closing his presenta­ tion, “In one way or another, we are all affected by this.” ■ large...it is the thought and gesture that counts.” Those who did contribute added their words of sympathy and support to cards to be sent to the appropriate departments in New York City. Sue acknowledged the many efforts and options to actively respond to the day’s events. “While this (establish­ ing the fund) is the OES community’s gesture to help in a positive way, this is not the only way to contribute. There are many great needs in New York City. Many of us are doing a variety of projects, and whatever we do to help is a blessed gift received.” She also asked, “Please continue to keep those who are in the midst of conflict or suffering in your prayers.” OPENING OUR DOORS One of those individuals in the prayers of the OES com­ munity is Kowa “Keith” Chhe, a family friend of Middle School parent Jill Scheer. On the afternoon of October 4, a little over three weeks after that infamous day of terror, a small group of Upper School students, faculty and staff members gathered in a classroom to listen to Keith’s story of his firsthand experience at the World Trade Center. Keith, a police officer with the New York Police Department, had spent three weeks digging through the rubble of the World Trade Center, at limes almost non-stop, looking for survivors, and as lime elapsed looking for bodies. He had come to Oregon in order to find relief, however temporary, from the rescue work which left him both physically and emotionally tired. Despite the freshness of the memories and the loss he experienced, Keith shared his recollections and perspectives on this painful event with the small, quiet audience. He described how the day’s events unfolded for him, starting with the time he signed off his weekly shift al 8:15 a.m. on the morning of September 11. He had been working out of the police headquarters, located only a few blocks from the World Trade Center. What he thought was the start of his “weekend,” turned out to be a nightmare going beyond anything else he '■ • ia ▲ With Upper School students looking on, Officer Chhe describes his firsthand experience on September 11, 2001.

Students create masks to rep­ resent a character from the book, a natural element or a selected theme such as compassion, wisdom or courage. The students use the mask in a monologue to speak directly to the boys in the book, especially in regard to resisting the temptation toward violence. According to teacher Steve Brennan, “The focus of this effort is on how to bring the best qualities of the human spirit to the forefront.” Trick or Treat for UNICEF “Trick or treat for UNICEF” was the message shared by students from Mrs. Hunger's fifth grade class during a recent chapel service. The children dressed in Halloween costumes presented a skit to other Lower School students, reminding them of the opportunity to raise funds for UNICEF while trick-or-treating on Halloween night. Money raised this year will be used to assist children in Afghanistan. 7 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 2 0 0 1 Coming Full Circle in the Same House hen the 71st session of the Oregon legislature was called to order on January 8, 2001, two individuals with lies to Oregon Episcopal School stood among the 60 members of the House of Representatives wailing to be sworn into office. One was Representative Ben Westlund of Bend, and the other was Representative Elizabeth “Betsy” Johnson of Scappoose. Ben graduated from Bishop Dagwell Hall in 1968, one of 10 young men who made up the graduating class that year. During his lime at BDH. Ben had played on the varsity soccer team, ran on the track team, belonged to both the ski and rifle clubs, and was a dorm monitor. He also had the honor of being elected to the position of student body president. Betsy, a 1969 graduate of St. Helen’s Hall, also had an active student life. As one of the 18 young women who made up the 1969 graduating class, Betsy’s involvement included everything from the Altar Guild and Foreign Affiliations, to the National Honor Society and the Modern Dance Club. And like Ben, Betsy also had the honor of being elected to the position of student body president. At the time that Ben and Betsy attended BDH and SHH, the two schools shared the current OES campus, although most activities were kept separate. According to Ben and Betsy, the students ate together in the cafeteria, and possibly shared a class or two. For the most part, however, the OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL faculty and staff attempted to keep the boys and girls apart. Despite this “corralling” by teachers and administrators, Ben and Betsy admit that it was hard to keep the two groups sep­ arated. Therefore, it was inevitable that Ben and Betsy would know each other as students. However, they had no idea that the roads that brought them to BDH and SHH, and then led them away in opposite directions after graduation, would cross again in the Oregon legislature earlier this year FOLLOWING HER FAMILY'S LEAD When you learn about Betsy’s politically active family, it isn’t surprising the path she look after leaving SHH would lead her to the state legislature. Betsy’s father, Sam Johnson, was a seven-term member of the Oregon State Legislature and the mayor of Redmond, OR. Her mother, Becky, was appointed by four governors to serve on various state-level education boards and other commissions. When Betsy graduated from SHH, she was very focused on going to college, although the thought of a political life was not out of the question. After graduating from Carleton College and then the Northwestern School of Law al Lewis and Clark College, Betsy went on to establish Transwestern Helicopters, Inc., a helicopter company which she owned and operated for almost 20 years. During this time, Betsy followed her parents’ footsteps in ▲ Elizabeth “Betsy"Johnson '69, Oregon State Representative from Scappoose ▲ Betsy during her senior year al SHI I, 1969 8 �AUTUMN 2 0 0 1 ▲ Ben’s BDH senior year photo, 1968 ▲ Ben Westhind, Bend representative to the Oregon House of Representatives serving the community in a variety of capacities. She has had the privilege of serving as a board member for numerous non-profit organizations, including Docrnbecher Children’s Hospital, Oregon Public Broadcasting, Oregon Health Sciences Foundation, and the Portland branch of the Federal Reserve Bank. In 1993, Betsy was appointed to manage the State Aeronautics Division of the Oregon Department of Transportation, a position she held until 1998, when she became vice president for legislative affairs for the Oregon Pilots Association. Betsy’s involvement in and commitment to her local com­ munity of Scappoose, and to the broader Oregon community, has not gone unnoticed. As early as 1981, “Oregon Magazine” named Betsy as one of Oregon’s 100 most powerful women. In 1994, OES awarded her with the Distinguished Alumni Award. Last year, Betsy was identified as one of the lop 10 most influential residents of greater Portland by The Business Journal. Her involvement in numerous civic, community, and political activities prepared Betsy for her current role as slate representative for District 1, a position to which she was elected in 2000. “I used my youth wisely.” Upon his graduation from BDH in 1968, Ben says he had no political aspirations. Instead, he headed to the drier climate of Eastern Washington and Whitman College, where he received a great deal of attention as the first BDH gradu­ ate to attend Whitman. After earning a bachelor’s degree in education and history, Ben returned to the Willamette Valley in order to attend graduate school al the University of Oregon. It was there that the road to his current political position truly began. Ben says that how he got into politics is a demonstration of what real life is all about. He recalls silling in a classroom al Oregon with BDH classmales Dan Driscoll and John Floweree, listening to a professor talk about the vast resources of diatomaceous earth in Eastern Oregon. This type of soil is formed by the fossil deposits of a microscopic one-celled alga with a stony cell wall that exists in sea and fresh water. Ben, Dan and John look the lead of their professor. Together they moved to Eastern Oregon, scavenged equip­ ment needed to mine the diatomaceous earth, and created a company that produced various household and industrial products from the fossil material, the most notable being kilty litter. In lhe 1980s, Ben sold his interest in the business, bought a catilc ranch in Wheeler County and moved to lhe small town of Mitchell. There he got into lhe registered catlie business, buying the finest catlie available and selling lheir genetic products around the world. This route, which led Ben to lhe high desert of Central Oregon, also brought him to former Speaker of lhe House Lyn Lundquist. Ben attributes Lyn with planting the seed in the back of his brain about potentially getting involved in politics. Ben’s daydream of a political career moved into high gear one morning in 1996 when he called Lyn to discuss the idea. About two weeks later, after many hours of RETURNING TO HIS ROOTS I Ben spent much of his youth in the Mojave Desert area of Southern California, attending a military academy with the idea of perhaps going on to West Point or Annapolis after graduation. His plans changed drastically, however, when his parents moved to the Portland area and he entered Bishop Dagwell Hall in the fall of 1966. Ben found the differences in climate, school history, and class size to be shocking. After being one of 150 high school juniors in a military academy, Ben discovered himself living in lhe verdant Willamette Valley, attending an Episcopal school with only nine classmates. Ben adapted to his new environment, at least temporarily, and now wryly remarks, continued on page 10 9 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 2 0 0 1 Coming Full Circle in the Same House soul searching and discussions with his family, Ben decided to run for the District 55 House seat. He figured that even if he didn’t win the race, the campaign would at least be edu­ cational and interesting. Ben says his mother prepared him for a loss as he under­ took his first political campaign, but the feedback he received on the campaign trail encouraged him. He felt he would win and the rest is history. Ben is now serving his third term in the Oregon House of Representatives and chairing the powerful Ways and Means Committee. continued from page 9 investment decision—deciding where to invest taxpayer dollars, in the competing policies and programs, to give Oregonians the highest return.” Ben acknowledges the difficulties of his role as co-chair of this powerful committee. “The budgeting process is intense, demanding and high-pressure, where each session 1 receive thousands of requests for funding. My job is to give each one a fair hearing, so that the individuals pitching their pro­ grams walk away knowing they have been heard.” And Ben feels he has done very well at this job, saying that his friends and peers call him a “Toys-R-Us kid and a “Ways and Means” kind of guy As a freshman representative, Betsy has repeated Ben’s accom­ plishment of obtaining a position on the Ways and Means committee, and serves on one of its subcommit­ tees. She praises the work and accomplishments of Ben, and he returns the compliments. COMING TOGETHER When Betsy and Ben were sworn in to the Oregon House of Representatives al the beginning of this year, it wasn’t the first contact they had with each other since leaving the OES campus in the late ’60s.

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 programs for students.

He also left with a place in the school’s history as one of only two students who had earned 12 athletic “letters” for participating on the school’s varsity sports teams. Ben had spent his four years in the Upper School playing soccer, basketball and lacrosse al the varsity level, in order to gamer those dozen letters. Who was the first student to achieve this goal? Kris Van Hatcher, the school’s athletic director for 26 years and a 1970 graduate of Bishop Dagwell Hall. According to the OES Upper School Handbook, “Coaches will set their own standards for giving athletic letters to Varsity players ... Coaches look for loyally, altitude, and diligence from players to whom they wish to award a letter.” So, the accomplishment shared by Ben and Kris didn’t occur just because they had the ability to play on the varsity teams, but because they brought something more to the sport and to each team. When Kris came to Bishop Dagwell Hall in 1966, he didn’t have a goal of earning 12 letters. What he wanted to do was to play competitively and as much as possible at the varsity level. And so he did. During his four years at BDH, Kris played on the varsity teams and received letters in soccer, basket­ ball, tennis and lacrosse. He attributes his successful participation on these teams to his organizational ability and discipline. Kris also admits that playing on the various sports teams required him to sacrifice free time that he might have spent in other endeavors. Although the focus of Kris’ life may have been on the playing field, he made a commitment to play and succeed in sports and to do well academically. Kris’ devotion to competitive sports went beyond the after-school practices and games. During his junior and senior years at BDH, Kris assisted his math teacher who also coached the Middle School basketball teams. This required Kris to coordinate his free period during the school day to coin­ cide with a Middle School P.E. class, enabling him to take on the role of coach’s assistant. His effort and determination did not go unnoticed by the school’s faculty and staff. When Kris graduated in the spring of 1970 with plans to attend Springfield College in Massachusetts, Fred Wood, principal of BDH, sug­ gested that there might be a job wailing for Kris al BDH after he got his college degree. And in his senior year at Springfield, Kris received a phone call from Mr. Wood offering him a position as P.E. teacher, dorm parent and coach for three sports. Without much hesitation, Kris accepted the offer. The following year in 1975, Kris was named Athletic Director, a role that he still holds after 26 years. Kris says that his time at BDH as a student prepared him for his current role by teaching him the benefits of ▲ Ben Sadler '01 with his sister, Jane, who graduated from OES in 1998 28 ▲ Kris Van Hatcher during his senior year at BDH, 1970 discipline, the importance of doing the right thing, the rewards of working hard to be better, and the value of community. He also learned organiza­ tional skills while al BDH, especially important now when it comes to bud­ geting his available time between various demanding activities. The factors of Kris’ successful ath­ letic career al BDH carried over into his adult life. His office wall is covered with the plaques and awards he has received over the years. He has been chosen as Head Coach for both the Girls Oregon All-Star Soccer Team and the Oregon All-Star Lacrosse Team. He has been appointed to the National Soccer Rules Committee for high schools for the past four years. His accomplishments also include being selected as Oregon High School Girls’ Soccer Coach of the Year; Region 7 National Girls’ Soccer Coach of the Year; and two times as the 2A Oregon Athletic Director of the Year. Despite his obvious success, Kris remains modest about his accomplishments, saying, “I try to do my job. Awards are not what I’m shooting for.” Over the years al OES, Kris has seen a constant change and improvement to the OES sports program. This includes �the addition of a Middle School athletic program, which could not have occurred without the purchase of the facilities at SPARC. He also notes the switch from a focus on competitive athletics to one of physical education for all students, not just those who want to compete on a team. Finally, he mentions the improvements to the OES athletic facilities, such as the Yanagitani track and the recent addi­ tion of the scoreboard and field lights. Kris has seen many student athletes come and go at OES, including Ben Sadler. Kris watched as Ben’s athletic skills and abilities improved, along with his leadership qualities, during his four years of competing on the varsity soccer, basketball and lacrosse teams. “Ben is an incredible athlete. It is impressive how he came in as a freshman and lettered in three sports,” remarks Kris. “Ben succeeded at all three sports and enjoyed them, without the need for year-round training. Ben is probably one of the best athletes that ever attended OES.” Just as Kris remains modest about his accomplishments, so does Ben. He grew up at OES as the son of faculty member Lynne Sadler, and earned the designation of “lifer” by virtue of attending the school since his pre­ school days. During this lime, Ben says his perspective on sports at OES A Ben Sadler showed early promise in athletics, playing throughout Middle and Upper School at OES. changed. “In Lower School, I idolized the Lipper School players as they seemed so large and great at what they did. In Middle School, there seemed to be less emphasis on competing on the sports teams. When lacrosse started, however, it seemed as if the whole school got excited about it.” Lacrosse was also a sport about which Ben got excited. Unlike soccer and basketball that he had played most of his life, Ben didn’t start with lacrosse until he got a stick in his 8th grade P.E. class. As Ben tells the story, “Coach Van Hatcher handed it to me and said, ‘You’ll need this in high school.’” Ben used that stick to earn four of his varsity letters and to gain recognition as a High School All-American lacrosse player. Like Kris, Ben also had to balance his student life between academics and athletics. However, he didn’t consider it a balancing act. He had always been involved in sports, and playing com­ petitively was just part of his structured day. “Besides, being able to play on a team gave me the incentive to gel my homework done quickly,” he says. He also admits that he did not set out to earn 12 varsity letters; he only considers it as a “nice accomplish­ ment.” Il is even nicer considering that Ben was also on the Honor Roll for the four years that he played competitively year-round. In reflecting upon matching the accomplishment of Coach Van Hatcher, Ben says he considers “Hatch” as a friend more than as a coach and acknowledges their common back­ ground of loving to play sports and leach others. He adds, “I wish I could have seen Hatch play in his heyday.” When asked what they consider as their greatest accomplishments while at OES, you might think that Kris and Ben would include the earning of their 12 varsity letters or being recognized as one of the best in what they do. However, neither mentions these achievements. Ben talks about the ability to compete on the different teams while keeping open time to study and socialize. Kris humbly iden­ tifies the environment that he has created for sports at OES. This sup­ portive yet competitive environment is the result of a no-cut policy that encourages all students to participate 29 AUTUMN 2 0 0 1 ▲ Kris Van Hatcher presents Ben Sadler with the Coach’s Award for Boys’ Sports, 2001. no matter what level of skill they bring to the game. He has found that the competitive players support their less skilled teammates, thus resulting in a high level of student participation. Ben encourages prospective and current OES students to participate on lhe sports teams, saying, “It won’t overtake your life. Playing sports pro­ vides you with another level of experience, one that you may remem­ ber more than a score on a math test. The relaxed atmosphere allows you to play, win games and have a good lime.” Speaking as a parent of current OES students (Addison ’06 and Dalton ’03), Kris appreciates how the school encourages a balance between athletics and academics. He wants his sons to enjoy playing competitive sports and do well in school, and not have a one­ sided approach where they focus on one or lhe other. It isn’t an “either or” situation, but one where a student can fully participate in both. After all, Kris reflects, “Athletics offer so many life skills and experiences. They leach you about working hard as a team, not giving up, and learning how to handle both failure and success.” What else would you expect from an individual who played well, showing a dedication to his teams that went above and beyond, earning him 12 varsity letters for his “loyalty, attitude, and diligence.” ■ OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �r AUTUMN 2 0 0 1 A Letter to the Alumni ◄ Marietta Kuykendall '55, Alumni Association President. Above: From the 1955 year­ book, Marietta, in her "while bucks," gets acquainted with students visiting from Sweden and Italy. Dear Fellow Alumni, I o R E G O N EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Getting acquainted with a new person is an adventure. Do you have something in common? Can you relate to this person? Is this person friendly, funny, quiet or thoughtful? Getting acquainted takes time, but it’s worth it. The process is similar if you are gelling acquainted with a new school or a new job. Getting reacquainted is similar, but there is the history upon which you may draw. Have you had the opportunity to gel reacquainted with OES? Perhaps you can lour the campus and visit with those who are here today. Alumni are encouraged to attend many OES activities. OES and the Alumni Board have planned many events specifically for alumni. Most are in the Portland area, but events are also planned for Seattle, Boston, New York City and San Francisco this year. Make contact with some of your classmates. Class years ending with a “2” or a “7” are featured al reunion this year. Don’t forget to let us know what you are doing so it can be pub­ lished in The OES Belltower. At least be sure that we know where you and all your classmales are. A primary goal of the Alumni Board is to facilitate com­ munication between alumni as well as between the school and alumni. We meet al least five limes a year. We have members from St. Helen’s Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and OES representing all decades from 1954 to 1995. We are here to represent you. I would like to thank Chuck Reynolds for the excellent job he has done as the president of the Alumni Association for the past two years. His insight as an alumnus, a former faculty member and a current OES parent has been invaluable. We are fortunate that he will continue as a member of the board. When I joined the OES Alumni Board a few years ago, I 30 thoroughly enjoyed gelling acquainted with the other members. However, I fell a need to get acquainted with OES itself, or was it reacquainted? Was this a school I could rec­ ognize or not? I attended St. Helen’s Hall in the fifties. We went to school in the old building al 13th and Hall streets in downtown Portland. If you have seen some of the black and while pic­ tures of girls in what were navy uniforms, navy blazers and while blouses, look for one of those in while buck shoes and that is me. I graduated with a class of 18 after having attended throughout my high school years. Today, as 1 lour the OES campus, visit classes, speak with teachers, staff and students, I feel very much al home. Of course, the old building is gone. The uniforms for older stu­ dents are gone and those for the younger students are much more reasonable. The curriculum is more extensive and appropriate for the 21st century. The graduating classes are much larger than 18. However, the class sizes are still small. The faculty is still striving for excellence. Chaplains are still available to visit with students. The spirit of St. Helen’s Hall is very much alive at OES. We would appreciate the opportunity to gel reacquainted with you. I have found the alumni of all eras to be an out­ standing group of people. Let us hear from you.

Her presence in the OES alumni commu­ nity was truly a blessing, and she will be greatly missed. After graduating from St. Helen’s Hall, Sally went on to graduate from the University of Oregon. During World War II, she served in the US Women’s Army Corps, returning afterwards to marry Lansing Stout, Sr. She served for over 20 years as a piano teacher at Lewis and Clark College. Sally was a faithful member of the OES community, best known for her wonderful history of the Hall: Saint Helen’s Hall, The First Century. Sally could always be counted on as a reference for school history. She was a faithful volunteer with a warm heart. In 1998, the Alumni Association honored Sally with the Distinguished Alumni Award for her years of service to the school. Sally is survived by her her son Lansing, Jr., and three grandchildren. Mrs. Elyse West Clark SHH ’32 May 18, 2001 Felicity Shoulders ’98 o R E G O N EPISCOPAL SCHOOL In Memoriam Apparently I’m incapable of keeping my mind made up! After transferring from the University of Chicago to Case Western Reserve University after only one year, I have decided to change majors. I was a geology major, pursu­ ing my kindergarten dream of being a paleontologist. I’ve decided to give writing a try, instead, and to that end, I’ve become an English major (geology minor). You never know whether you can make it if you never try! Please, English teachers, don’t rub the Science department’s nose in it too much. I still love my dinosaurs! Wish me luck. Mrs. Lorrene Caplan Tollefson SHH ’40 April 24, 2001 Ms. Mary Lou McGrath SHH ’49 July 18, 2001 34 �Y^AK-^NP d?U£STlONS As you finish up your financial affairs for 2001, you will likely be thinking about your charitable giving goals and aspirations. Here are a few questions to help you plan: 1. Am I aMe, fo Mafc& a tfiarifable- ^iff fo in 7-001? The close of the calendar year, coupled with our current economic and political times, means you are probably receiving many charitable requests from worthwhile organizations. During this period, we hope you will remember OES and our ongoing financial needs. We are eager to conclude this year in good financial shape so we can confidently face the opportunities and challenges of the future. Your special year-end gift will strengthen us considerably. Of course, if you have already made your gift to OES this year, we want to thank you once again. 2. Whaf are- fax otli^fion^ for 7-001? Many taxpayers consult with their accountants before the end of the year to determine tax lia­ bility. Perhaps you’ve done this already or maybe you simply have a good idea where you stand. In any case, we encourage you to take advantage of the tax benefits offered by the government. y Po I harfc appre-6-iafe-d Qtoofc. ok re-al I c^ould donate fo OE>S? You may find yourself in a situation where you want to give more to Oregon Episcopal School but cannot afford to decrease your annual income. Please consider these options: A Gift of Stock In most cases, the out-of-pocket cost of your gift is reduced substantially due to the "double" tax benefit you realize when you contribute appreciated stock. • First, you are entitled to an income tax charitable deduction for the full market value of appreciated stock if it has been held for at least one year. • Second, you pay no capital gains tax on the transfer or the sale of the stock by OES. A Gift of Real Estate Consider the family who purchased raw land years ago at a very low price; as an example, $5,000. Now the land is appraised at $100,000, and the capital gains tax has slowed down any ideas of selling it. • The land could be donated to OES as a named capital or endowment gift; both would leave a long legacy in the family’s name. • The land could go into a trust, creating income for named family members for life or a period of years and naming OES as the remainder beneficiary. To help further your year-end gift, please call Kevin Cott, Director ofAnnual and Planned Giving, in our Development Office at 503-768-3179 or email at cotek@oes.edu. *1wu I Linocut by I-Hui Peng (Vicky) '02 "A �I i’.
