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

Steuens greets Mr. Katsura, Mayor of Sapporo, Japan, at a Kendo demonstration held on the OES campus during America Japan Week '92. 2 �AUTUMN 19 9 2 4. An Episcopal school values rea­ son as a way to true understand­ ing. Because there is no human authority to tell us how to think, the responsibility to reason our way to understanding becomes essentially an individual enterprise, which in turn underlines the idea of respect for individual beliefs. It believes that the truth will make us free and that God has given us the freedom to seek truth without fearing where it may lead. An Episcopal education is not indoctrination, nor about enforcing an unquestioning acceptance of a foreordained set of doctrines. This begins with the premise that facul­ ty, students, administrators and staff are a community of explorers who need to continue to learn and grow. It encourages all students, faculty and staff to follow ques­ tions wherever they lead, to use their critical faculties and to value the learning and thought inherited from the past. An Episcopal school raises issues of meaning, identity and ultimate truth at every oppor­ tunity in all parts of its program but also acknowledges the limits of human reason. I I Founded in 1869, Oregon Episcopal School is located on a 59-acre campus in Portland’s southwest hills. It is the only co-ed boarding school in the Pacific Northwest that holds membership in the National Association of Independent Schools and is one of the oldest Episcopal schools in the United. States. OES offers a demanding, college prep­ aratory, liberal arts curriculum to students in pre-school through high school. Classes are small, and the pace is challenging.

Everything we do, in one way or another, is geared to this. Teaching, counsel­ ing, coaching, management, plan­ ning, governance, building, fundraising—all emanate from this. How special this is! And how much more special could our mission and purpose be? Sincerely, v/zPeter W. Stevens 5. An Episcopal school has a con­ cern for the well-being of society, and makes that concern part of its program. The school helps stu­ dents understand that they do not exist apart from society, that soci­ ety’s issues are their issues, and that they are called upon to respond to the needs of others. Students are encouraged not just to share what they have with oth­ ers but to understand the issues and complexities of society, to consider what their individual and corporate responsibilities are, and to take action. On the cover Tara! with 6. Above all, an Episcopal school is founded on love. This is not a peculiarly Anglican idea but so fun­ damental to the Christian view that it can be overlooked. Love for stu­ dents, for their value as children of God, for their unique gifts, must undergird everything we do. We must act out of love, teach love, model love and love one another in our community above all else, or all else will be meaningless. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL as the 1992 gradual! 3 �AUTUMN 19 9 2 Fencingaje^ Fencing is steeped in history. Descended from the courts and battlefields of Europe, aristocrats and militia alike were trained in the use of the foil, rapier and sabre. These weapons and the rules used today evolved from facts accumu­ lated over 300 years. The foil, descendent of the court sword used by aristocrats, is light­ weight and features a rectangular blade. When using a foil, fencers must have the right to hit and must hit in a limited target area. Both weapon and rules change when an individual fences with the epee. Known to earlier generations as the rapier, the epee was used by the militia. Spectators new to the sport can identify the epee by its triangular blade and the fact that opponents may be touched any­ where on the body. A third weapon, the sabre, was used by warriors on horseback. Soldiers were careful to strike their oppo­ nent only from the waist up because they did not want to risk striking the horse, which was con­ sidered part of the prize. Hence fencers using the sabre must strike only in a designated area. Though Hollywood has brought us countless images of exciting duels in which one or more people are injured or maimed, injuries are almost non-existent in fencing. When students at OES begin to fence, they are well-versed in proper safety; in fact, 98% of the rule book for fencing deals with safety rules, and modern technolo­ gy continues to make the sport safer every year. Fencing uniform designers and manufacturers recently added kevlar, a light weight artificial fibre, to help resist point penetration. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL When fencing competitively, a sophisticated scoring system assures that only the best fencers advance to the direct elimination round. At the start of the meet, ▲ OESfencers demonstrate properfencing technique. participants are placed in pools. Each fencer then challenges oppo­ nents in their pool. At the end of these matches, the number of vic­ tories are tallied; then judges tally the number of touches scored vs. the number of touches received (each time a fencer’s tip touches her/his opponent in the prescribed area, they receive a point). Competitors are then ranked by strength, and the top 32 advance to the direct elimination round. Participants must win each match at this point to advance. At OES the fencing program is run by Colleen Olney, a former com­ petitive fencer. “Fencing is 50% physical and 50% mental,” explains Colleen. As part of their training, fencers typically run sprints, train with weights (to strengthen rather than build) and participate in one or more other sports. The mental training can take years. “First, you never use a negative term,” explains Colleen. “You can’t tell students they were ‘wrong’ because you always want them thinking along a positive line. When 4 they are very young, I have stu­ dents fill out a form that asks them to define how they won or lost a match. This gets them thinking about analyzing themselves and their opponents. “After 3-4 years of training, I begin to use imagery. They begin to imagine themselves doing a per­ fect move against an opponent. Because all of this is introduced slowly, when they are young, they don’t realize it’s all part of sports psychology. Eventually it becomes second nature.” Successful fencers share a number of characteristics. “The sport attracts individualists who are assertive and can think for them­ selves,” says Colleen, who attribut­ es much of her success with the OES fencing program to what stu­ dents are taught in OES classes— “concentration, individual thinking, independence, critical thinking, assertiveness and hand/eye coor­ dination. “OES is a fantastic school. I’ve taught in the public schools, and there is no discipline. The teachers �are so overloaded that no matter how caring they are—and there are some very caring teachers in the public schools—you can’t care for that many kids. After teaching in the public schools, I come back to OES, and I just want to hug these kids.” Colleen feels that winning should not be the only motivation for her students. “I’m trying to teach something other than just fencing,” explains Colleen, who strongly believes fencing is an excellent avenue for teaching good ethics. She recalls a particularly hard fought match last year between sixth graders Greer Rabiega and Henry Pruitt in which the judges missed a touch Greer scored on Henry. “Even though no one noticed the touch,” she recalled, “Henry acknowledged the point. I was so proud of Henry for acknowledging that touch." Greer went on to win the match by one point. Whether it is the principles they learn in fencing, the type of individ­ ual attracted to fencing or some other unidentifiable factor, Colleen was not surprised by the results of a recent poll conducted by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). “The USOC did a survey which found that members of the fencing team had the highest level of education and income of any of the sports. The level of education found in most fencers is phenome­ nal. Almost all people who contin­ ue fencing are professionals— almost everyone has a degree, and many have doctorates.” There is much more to fencing than competition. "It’s an ageless sport,” says Colleen. “Fencing is more than just the Olympics—it has to be. Although the US Fencing Association has sent peo­ ple in their 40s to the Olympics, only five women will make the Atlanta team (in 1996). AUTUMN 19 9 2 “Fencing is fun for families—great for parents," says Colleen, who invited parents to SPARC last year for an evening of fencing. Fourth grader Veronica Gilbert brought her mother, Maria-Elaina, and mother and daughter had a unique oppor­ tunity to fence together. “Kids love to show parents how to do things,” Colleen observes. Yet, while the parent may be new to the sport of fencing, she points out that, “The parents can usually beat the kids because they have longer arms and the mental edge. “Fencing is fun for everyone." OES SOPHOMORE RANKED 21ST IN THE WORLD Thousands of hours of practice and competition—as she advanced through the ranks of state, regional and national com­ petition to finally qualify at the international level—preceded Monique de Bruin’s 21st place fin­ ish at the World Cadet Fencing Championships in May of this year. Monique, a sophomore this fall at OES, says, “First you need talent. Then you need to be individualis­ tic—when you’re out there fencing, you can’t blame anyone else if you are losing. You have to be dedicat­ ed and willing to work very hard, pushing yourself all the time. Your coach will push you, but you have to really want it,” explains Monique. Really wanting it trans­ lates into at least three hours of practice 3-4 times a week. “Both my parents worked, so fenc­ ing was a cheap babysitter. At first, I didn’t like it. I had to give up my recess, so I quit. Then I started watching my brother and sister. It looked like they were enjoying it, knows, Monique says, “It’s very tough for me. I have a hard time fencing people who are on my team, let alone my sister. It’s easier to fence someone you don’t know; then you don’t have the emotional issue to deal with, and you can just concentrate on winning." OES fencing coach Colleen Olney echoes this, “I just hate to see that happen. As a coach, you try to teach them that the other person is their opponent. Period. The stronger competitive drive will win initially, but after a while, determi­ nation begins to play a part." ▲ Monique de Butin so I started again. I really enjoyed it the second time.” Today, Monique occasionally finds herself fencing opposite sister Claudette. The last time Claudette and Monique met was at the Junior Olympics where Claudette narrowly edged Monique out 6-5, 5-6, 6-5. When she is required to fence opposite someone she Where will Monique go from here? Perhaps the Olympics? “It’s a goal I’ve always had. My first coach was an Olympian, and I really respect that. I know it will be real hard—the youngest Olympian this year is 21 and most fencers don’t reach their peek until 25—but [I think] it’s realistic." OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 5 �AUTUMN 19 9 2 Wetlands —another kind of classroom “The wetlands are very important because they give animals and plants a place to live. The wetlands filter water...they help create rich and plentiful soil for humans to grow plants on. ” 7 saw a swallow that seemed to follow me... ” — Melissa, 3rd grade Taught by John LeCavalier, the Wetlands Ecology course gives students a chance to be teachers in its wetland interpretation seg­ ment. In the late spring, the seniors, who have been studying the subject intensely, take OES third and sixth grade classes into the OES Wetlands for hands-on instruction in soils, hydrology, birds, beaver, plants and aquatic macro-invertebrates. Wetlands Ecology also involves values. “Wetlands are a huge issue all over the world," says John. "The students struggle with the same issues—why are wetlands important?” John says that although everybody has fun teaching, “they get so tired. At the end, they realize how much they themselves have learned.” For example, the class involves what John calls a “serious section" on plant taxonomy, a peri­ od of intense information absorp­ tion. “We go into the field and return with 60 to 80 samples and in the end do a laboratory practical exam—name this, what is its major characteristic? It’s intense.” u... The lights reflects and I reject The birds dance and I have a chance The Beavers cut but it hits—thud The wind blows and I flow The ground soaks and I moat The wetlands need to be here or earth won't be one peace. " — Jonathan, 6th grade The yearlong class involves con­ siderable field research and is challenging because of the amount of independent work required. — Gina, 6th grade It has four components. The bio­ physical monitoring project is a baseline data collection process, with students regularly visiting specified plots in the Wetlands— they keep track of birds, changes in plants and water levels. All of the seniors also complete an indepen­ dent research project using the database. They occasionally take field trips to do surveys of other wetlands. The final component is the interpretation, or teaching, seg­ ment. Most of the readings are pri­ mary source materials and govern­ ment publications. "Everyone becomes trained in careful field research techniques”, says John. “We use the same techniques and manuals that pro­ fessionals from Federal, State and local agencies use. In fact, I’d like to contract out our services for the experience.” For the teaching session seniors also research how younger children learn science. “They have to look at subjects as well as implications. Should the skits they use portray a logger as a bad guy? They are struck by the power of influence they have over the younger students. So instead of a bad guy theme, this time they came up with a super­ hero—Wetlands Man. The little kids loved it.” The wetland interpretation seg­ ment follows a one-day "outdoor school” model. Students rotate through the various subjects, and then later reflect. Some of the reflection involves answering questions, or as in the examples, writing poetry.

Rediscovery of the World, with Jean-Michel Cousteau \ Fri., October 9, 7:30 pm ' \ Cousteau has spent his life exploring the ocean aboard the research vessel Calypso and as spokesperson for the m marine environment. He was recently executive producer for the film Jacques Cousteau: The First 75 Years, for V the Cousteau!Amazon film series, and for the Emmy Award-Winning film, Cousteau/Mississippi. ■ "Two themes have dominated the Cousteau Society’s activities during the past year: the environmental conse■ quences of overpopulation, and protecting the rights of future generations." f 2. The Mind’s Sky with Timothy Ferris, Fri., Nov. 6, 7:30 pm Looking through the two lenses of neuroscience and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), Ferris explores a startling new vision of the “dance” between mind and cosmos, asking whether intelligence - far from being a product of our world alone - may have a universal currency. His free-wheeling quest into the nature of consciousness ponders virtual reality computer technology and looks at IT - information theory, a new philosophy of knowledge and communication. Ferris, a former commentator for National Public Radio's All Things Considered, a National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize nominee, and Guggenheim Fellow, wrote Coming of Age in the Milky Way. 3. Entropy and O-Rings with Dr. James Adams. Thurs., Dec. 10,7:30 pm An engineer, teacher and researcher in creativity, innovation and general problem-solving, Adams created Stanford's acclaimed multi-disciplinary Values, Technology, Science and Society (VTSS) program.

OMNI Magazine’s interviewer referred to him as “the father of underwater archaeology.” 5. The Genome Project with Dr. Christopher Wills, Fri., Feb. 19,7:30 pm Ever since Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA, scientists have been trying to “map” the entire human genetic code (the human genome). New techniques have put this goal within reach. The Human Genome Project is one of the most ambitious scientific endeavors of modern history: a multi-million-dollar international undertaking that will revolutionize our understanding of the human body and change the way we understand and treat disease. Wills is at the Center for Molecular Genetics (UCSD) and a recipient of NIH and Guggenheim Fellowships. He is the author of The Wisdom of the Genes: New Pathways in Evolution. \ 6. Looking for the Mind in the Brain with J Dr. Patricia Smith Churchland. Fri, April 2,7:30 pm w / “Is it possible to have one grand, unified theory of mind-brain? Are conscious . / experiences physiologically understandable? What are representations and how can ■ the brain represent the world outside itself?” These are the questions pursued by / Canadian-born and Oxford-educated Patricia Smith Churchland, Professor of Philoso/ phy (UCSD), Adjunct Professor at the Salk Institute, and recipient of the prestigious I MacArthur Fellowship. “Top-down strategies (as in philosophy, cognitive psychology, and artificial intelligence research) and bottom-up strategies (as in neurosciences) for solving the mysteries of mind-brain function should not be pursued separately in isolation.” Call FASTIXX for Season Tickets at 224-8499.

Although she doesn't usually drive a Jeep, OES College Counselor Cynthia Doran has had years of practice making this turn—she was hired by former St. Helens Hall Headmistress Gertrude Fariss to teach history and Christian ethics 27 years ago. The BellTower recently talked to her about her varied years at the School. BellTower: How did you come to OES? ▲ Cynthia Doran receives congratu­ lations for 25 years ofservice. Cynthia Doran: It’s a long story. In 1965, I began teaching Junior histo­ ry, English and religion, which I did for a couple of years. Back then it never even occurred to me to com­ bine motherhood with career, so I quit the Upper School position at the semester to adopt our son John, Jr. Gertrude Farris was sur­ prised, but when she asked me to continue teaching religion once a week, I said “yes”. Later, when we adopted Kate, I took a couple of years off. Former Headmaster David Leech asked me if I would consider teach­ ing religion in the Beginning School. I had young children, and it looked like a challenge, so I did lots of research on how kids develop a sense of religion. It was fun. Then they needed a 6th grade religion teacher and I taught that for a cou­ ple of years, before I had our son, Michael. The next fall I returned to the Beginning School. BT: How did you get into college coun­ seling? OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL CD: As a graduate of Wellesley, I was doing interviews for them as their College Admissions rep. David Leech asked me to help out, and because I loved that sort of stuff, I jumped at the chance. When Peter Sipple became Headmaster, he hired a new college counselor who moved the office to the library. Two years later he left mid-year, and I was asked to fill in. That was about 15 years ago. At the end of the year, Peter Sipple said "That went so well, let’s continue,” and there I was. BT: What developments have you seen in college counseling in the last 15 years? CD: The job itself has grown from one day a week to essentially full time. We now have a handbook for OES students and parents [which Cynthia wrote], annual college nights for parents and an elaborate, well-established introductory semi­ nar for Juniors, called College Decisions. We keep much better statistics now—currently I’m work­ ing on a program that will help stu­ dents and parents predict the rela­ tive success of their applications. Over the years, we’ve also been working to improve the quality of materials that accompany college applications. We’re really able to convey very effectively the kind of place that OES is. BT: How are you involved in profes­ sional organizations? CD: I have been president of the Pacific Northwest Council of College Admissions Counselors, and I have served on the Western Regional Board of The College Board, which is the parent organi­ zation of the Educational Testing Service that administers the SAT exams. I also belong to the Portland Area College Counselors Consortium, a local network. BT: Fifteen years must have helped you build an incredible network of connections? CD: Yes. But it’s not so much the ability to pull strings, as that I am able to work with the college pro­ fessionals to help kids make the transition. Colleges also know about OES. Now, some 80 college representatives visit campus each year. The reps are very interested in our students and in getting a sense of the School. BT: What makes our college counseling program so effective? CD: OES has made a strong com­ mitment to college counseling. The School has supported my going to workshops and my professional 8 involvement. The faculty is very supportive; they work really hard at writing letters of recommendation. They talk to kids about college—all the time. It’s not just me. Even the Trustees support the program. BT: What's the biggest change you've seen in your years here? CD: OES has become a much more informal place. When Mrs. Fariss walked through the Great Hall 25 years ago, EVERYONE stood up— not that there were many kids there since everyone had an assigned place to be. Uniform regulations were rigid. And 25 years ago, no one would have dreamed of calling me Cynthia. On my first day of teaching at St. Helens Hall, all the girls stood up as I entered my homeroom. I guess I was so startled that I said "Good morning, girls". They murmured. And, stalling for time and inspira­ tion, I said, “Why don’t you say Good morning, Mrs. Doran’.” I don’t know how long it took me to figure out they weren’t going to sit down until I said “be seated”. The girls really liked this way of starting the day, so we did it all year. BT: What about other changes? CD: Although 25 years ago girls went to morning prayer everyday with their heads covered, the week­ ly religion classes with strong Christian content were not that important then. Today, the way we teach “religion" is real neat. The classes ARE academic and they count on student transcripts. The topics fit our student body. This has been an appropriate evolution. BT: What things haven't changed at OES? CD: Some of the best things have remained constant. This School has always had a sense of commu­ nity—almost like a family. OES also has a love of—almost celebrates— the individual. Former teacher Ruth Rose Richardson [SHH *36] said to one of her classes that she “loved all of them". In my job I still see that. It’s very apparent during the faculty discussions called “senior marathons", where we come up with descriptions which are used in the student profiles that accompany college applications. And, I guess finally, we have a respect for learning. It’s one of our keystones. We are able to inculcate a love of learning. �Marcos Lopez Delgado Madrid, SPAIN ASSIST Exchange Student (Returning to Spain) THE CLASS OF 1992 Charles F.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 11 �AUTUMN 19 9 2 New faces and places ummer is a time for person^^^nel changes at OES, and, ^h^in addition to new faces, a number of people have been busy switching places and learning new jobs. Don’t be surprised when you hear a new voice on the OES switch­ board this fall. Mary Wright accept­ ed an opening in the Lower School (LS), and Jill Morrell was hired as the new OES receptionist. Mary will be working as a LS secretary. The LS also welcomed new LS Head Harvey Zendt when he arrived on campus in mid-July. Jane Kenney-Norberg, who earned her M.S. in Biology from the University of Oregon, is already familiar to many OESians for her work with the OES Extended Care programs. This fall, Jane will also be working with 1 -5 graders from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Thelma Lowry will be working full-time as a teaching assistant in the new fullday kindergarten classes. In the 4th grade, Kathy Narramore will be returning for her second year, while Joan Leigh and Doug Whitmore will be sharing a class and taking half-year sabbaticals. Joining this threesome is Merideth Larson, who most recently taught at Our Lady of the Lake in Lake Oswego. And finally, when Lou Paff returns from his sabbatical this fall, he will coor­ dinate the LS computer and sci­ ence programs. A number of Middle School (MS) teachers have been eagerly preparing to welcome new babies. Alfreda Harris, who holds a B.A. in English with an emphasis in African-American Studies from UCLA, recently completed an internship at the Intercultural Communication Institute as an Intercultural Communication Workshop facilitator. She will work with Becky Tooley and Ellen Taussig, teaching Toni Holmberg’s Humanities class until Christmas. In addition to team-teaching Humanities, Ellen Taussig will also teach geometry. Brad Baugher, Tye Steinbach and Charyl Cathey will cover Joan Schaller’s 7th grade science classes during her September maternity leave. Judy Lynch will teach the new MS Japanese language classes. Karen Sedar, who earned her M.A. in Mathematics Education from Columbia University, will teach two 7th grade transition math classes. Two Upper School (US) teachers have elected to take sabbaticals in the coming year. French teacher Pam Vohnson, recipient of a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant, will spend the coming year researching two counterrevolutionary movements that took place outside of Paris during the French Revolution. Replacing her while she completes her research will be Moneeka Settles who returns as a dorm par­ ent and coach. Moneeka will teach French and Humanities. Science teacher Bill Lamb is taking a two year sabbatical to work with Apprenticeships in Science and Engineering (ASE) at the Oregon Graduate Institute. Rosa Hemphill, who will stand in for Bill, graduated Summa Cum Laude from Incarnate Word College in San Antonio, TX with a B.A. in Chemistry. She went on to earn her M.S. in biochemistry from Michigan State and has worked as a chemistry instructor and research assistant at the col­ lege and high school level. A new addition to the dorm family is OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 12 Edward Liu, who received his B.A. in history from Yale University. Edward has spent the last two summers as a teacher and admin­ istrator of the Summerbridge/ Newbridge Program in San Francisco and will assume respon­ sibility as co-director of the new OES/Catlin Gabel Summerbridge program. Richard Sherwood, who graduated Magna Cum Laude from Pacific University with a double major in Modern Languages spe­ cializing in Japanese and International Studies with an emphasis on Asia, will teach US Japanese and Asian History. Richard will work with MS Japanese teacher Judy Lynch to develop a coordinated MS/US Japanese program. He and his family are living on the OES cam­ pus, and he will also be coaching the girls basketball team. OES also welcomes a number of new faces to staff positions. Bob Chumbook, Assistant Headmaster for Development, arrived on cam­ pus to head the Development, Admissions and Public Relations offices on July 1. New to the Admissions Office are Lisa Wood, Assistant to the Headmaster for Special Projects, and Laura Wilson, Admissions Secretary. Lisa will also be living on the OES cam­ pus this year. Finally, Steve Brown returns to the Maintenance Department. �The CMustard 6W ANNUAL REPORT OF GIVING . verily I say unto you, if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed you shall say unto that mountain move hence to yonder place and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” Matthew 17, verse 20 . .. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �HEADMASTER’S Dear Friends, I am proud to share with you this Mustard Seed, our annual report of giving to Oregon Episcopal School. These lists of voluntary support rec­ ognize many of the hundreds of par­ ents, grandparents, trustees, faculty and staff, alumni, corporations and foundations, and other friends of the School who have given hundreds of thousands of charitable dollars to the School and countless thousands of hours of voluntary support. Such is the critical difference between medi­ ocrity and excellence. This report is a testimonial to our excellence. As I present this to you, I salute our tireless, thoughtful and dedicated volunteers. We are indebted to Annual Fund leaders and donors, to scores of people who made “Sequins and Sweats” a resounding success, to Development Committee members who gave time and funds to help our efforts across the board. I pay tribute to those who served as room parents, to leaders of wreath sales, Halloween parties, ice cream socials, to donors of computers, to Country Fair entrepreneurs, and to those who gave time and funds to help renovate SPARC into the pre­ mier athletic facility in the region. I tip our collective hat to Parent Association leaders, parent education planners, Common Link organizers, REPORT alumni board members and trustees who all gave the School so much time, love and expertise throughout the year. And of course I applaud all those whose efforts this past year have defied categorizing, or who, in my own fallibility, I have neglected to thank personally or publicly. We cannot do what we do, without you, and we are deeply, and indeed per­ manently, grateful. I honor our wonderful faculty and staff who give their professional lives to our children. I honor our children, whose spirit, humor, independence, warmth and pursuit of the best echo both their parents and our faculty. They are the warp and woof of this educational community. What has all this support done? It has put more books in our libraries, more computer technology in our class­ rooms, and provided more equip­ ment for our athletic programs. It has provided over $75,000 in funds, both present and permanent, for profes­ sional growth and development activities for our faculty. It has sup­ ported families in need with financial aid. It has maintained our Middle School annual trips. It has augment­ ed our endowments. And it has pro­ vided our Upper School students with scores of internship possibilities during the year. And more. And more. It makes the critical difference. THE MUSTARD SEED 2 Why? Come visit any day during the school year and get to know our stu­ dents, the young people who make us what we are. My crowning salute, then, in this year’s Mustard Seed is to the girls and boys of OES. You are our hopes and our future. Your spirit and love, infectious good cheer and incredible inquisitiveness validate all we do. It is in your growth that this wonderful volunteer support makes the critical difference. This Mustard Seed, then, is truly a testimonial of love for the students of OES. I send you my warmest personal greetings. Sincerely, 4 Peter W. Stevens �REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT O F THE BOARD Dear Friends: Borrowing a phrase from the Sinatra bal­ lad, “it was a very good year...” It was a year marked by record enroll­ ment, a continued strengthening of the School’s financial base and the develop­ ment of new and innovative educational programs, not the least of which is the continued emphasis on experiental edu­ cation. We can look back on the past year with a strong sense of accomplishment. There were many successes, several of which are worth highlighting: We took a major step toward energizing our long-range planning efforts. Our School community, in a collaborative effort that involved faculty, trustees, par­ ents, alumni and students, developed a comprehensive blueprint for implement­ ing rhe OES Strategic Plan. It is an ambi­ tious and exciting program that will take our School to a new level of excellence. One of our major goals during this past year was to begin to build a more formal­ ized development program. We have been successful in this effort due to the leadership and direction provided by Tony Adams as development chair, the untiring dedication of Tom Oxholm who revitalized our giving programs and the creative fervor, wisdom and experience of Fred Clark. It is important to note that over the past two years, charitable contributions to OES have totaled almost $2 million. These generous donations have allowed us to (1) improve our physical facilities, (2) establish a special fund dedicated to the professional development of our fac­ ulty, (3) expand scholarship programs for our students and (4) strengthen our over­ all endowment program. I would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of the volunteers (parents, alumni, special friends) who have contributed so much to OES. During the past year we again witnessed our “Volunteers in Action.” Under the leader­ ship of Syd Waskey and Aurelia Hunt, we enjoyed a very successful auction that raised over $75,000 to support faculty professional development. More impor­ tantly, we had the opportunity for a shared community experience that reaf­ firmed the sense of family that exists within OES. We also will have new com­ puters in the Lower School due to the dedicated efforts of a group of enthusias­ tic volunteers led by Susan Robinson. During the summer of 1993, OES, in a “joint-venture" effort with our friends at Catlin Gabel, will begin a special educa­ tion program for disadvantaged youth called Summerbridge. We have started planning for this program, which is based upon a national program which has enjoyed considerable success in recent years. It reflects our commitment to diversity and our recognition of the need to be more involved with the broader Portland community. We now begin a new year with a sense of optimism, confidence and momentum borne of a success that is due, in large measure, to the leadership of Peter Stevens and the dedication and commit­ ment of faculty and staff who have done so much for our children. In closing, let me express my thanks and appreciation for all the time, effort, wis­ dom and guidance provided by my fel­ low trustees^.--------- Oregon Episcopal School Board of Trustees 1991-1992 The Right Rev.

This scholarship is given annually to a member of the OES Senior class who, in the opinion of the Upper School faculty, best exemplifies a “giving spirit" toward others. In further defining “giving spirit" this award seeks to recognize an instinctive and selfless personal quality that is understanding of and sensitive to the human needs of others. In addition, this award recognizes a gentle­ ness of spirit that responds by befriending others and participating actively in the OES community. 1992 recipients—Tammy Jo ' Becker and Bettina Staudigl.

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

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

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

Raising over S75.OOO net to support professional growth and development activi­ ties for the OES faculty and staff. Sequins & Sweats was a huge success. As planned, the money was split, with one-half of the net proceeds augmenting our oper­ ating budgets for faculty and staff growth activities. These include conferences, course­ work, research and collaborative curriculum endeavors. The other half was added to the School’s Edward E. Ford Endowment Fund, with its earn­ ings restricted to fund the same kind of activities. We are most grateful to the many people who stepped for­ ward as volunteers, donors and bidders to support Sequins & Sweats—your generosity was most impressive and thoughtful.

Though her year in Russia was highlighted by opportunities to explore different cultures, learn a new language and glory at the beauty of such museums as the Hermitage in St. Petersburg—"I could have been an artist if I had lived there”—it was the opportunity to observe the Soviet education system first hand that most signifi­ cantly influenced Erin’s plans for the future. “Russian kids were amazed that we only attended school Monday through Friday,” said Erin, who, like her Russian contemporaries, was expected to attend class from 9:00 am to 2:30 pm Monday through Saturday, and after class, students and teachers gather in "circles" for discussion. These sessions, which can last until 7:00 or 8:00 pm, pro­ vide ample opportunity for the type of in-depth discussion many American teachers wish they had time for. With the considerable demands placed on a faculty member’s time, which often includes dinner in the low cost school cafeteria, many Russian teachers spend more time with their students than they do with their families. “Teachers are really involved in the lives of the kids. They ask about the family and real­ ly know what’s going on in the stu­ dent’s lives," Erin observed. Lyceums are the Russian equiv­ alent of our independent schools. Though fees for attending these schools are nominal, the intense application process involving oral testing and written essays single out the serious students. Like OESians, Erin’s friends in Moscow attended Lyceums because they want to learn. “If you don’t want to learn, you go to a state school." Teachers at the Lyceum, like their students, are serious about education. "Teachers come to the Lyceum to teach the way they want instead of the way the state system dictates." They are attract- ed to the independent schools because of the higher level of stu­ dent commitment and the freedom to use innovative teaching meth­ ods—much like their counterparts here at OES. With Russian host parents Zhenia Abelyuk and Ilya Leenson, both teachers, Erin was immersed in education both at school and home. This gave her a unique opportunity to speak frankly about the issues affecting educators in Russia. Russian teachers are part of the intelligentsia class—made up of people who have chosen to pursue higher education. Unfortunately, the recent economic upheaval following the break-up of the former Soviet Union has had painful economic consequences for this group. "The pay for teachers is pathetic. The government is going back to the basics, and J the general view seems f to be, 'We need to pay J miners and farmers I more.’ It’s general knowl- 1 age citizen never thinks to ask for anything. They just assume they’ll be told, ‘No,’ so they don’t even ask.” This willingness to follow the dictates of the system, coupled with the fact that the average citi­ zen trusts the politicians, was diffi­ cult for Erin, who together with her family, has been actively involved in civic affairs. “It’s also a very chauvinistic society with definite perceptions of women's work and men’s work. There’s no Freddy’s in Russia, so these women have to carry their shopping bags from store to store. They go to one store to buy milk, and the next to buy bread, and so on. These bags become very heavy, yet there is this perception that women are helpless and can’t do any heavy lifting. I asked this one guy if he let his . mother carry heavy shopping bags, and his face flushed bright red. The mother is expected to 111 do all the chores— c"® clean the house, edge that the intelligentsia are not a priority.” To put this in perspective, consider that a teacher in Moscow earns roughly 1,000 rubles ($10.00 American) per month, while a street vendor can make 1,000 rubles a day. "By Russian stan­ dards, you are doing well if you can buy an apple a day and honey occasionally.” Though most teachers remain committed to their vocation despite the low pay, Erin believes escalating inflation and severe food shortages may force these individuals to make difficult deci­ sions in the coming year. "People had stores of food this year, but next year will be really bad. Every­ body is hurting. For now, my [Russian] parents plan to continue teaching, but they have two chil­ dren to consider. If they begin to starve, they’ll have to change." And change is inevitable. Despite recent upheavals in the political system, habits formed under the communist government are hard to break. “The entire sys­ tem is so bureaucratic. The aver­ cook the meals, take care of the kids." Fathers, too, have a distinct role in the Russian culture. “Dad repairs things. He repairs the walls, fixes appliances, chases mice and rats—we were lucky; we didn’t have any rats— and he kills the cockroaches, which you can’t get rid of anyway.” After an eye-opening year of political and cultural revolution, Erin has returned to the United States with plans for the future. “I’d like to start a school in an underprivileged area—an intense school for learning where I will teach language and math at earlier ages and promote new ideas. With a solid background at an earlier age, students will be able to do so much more with their lives." By combining the best elements of what she has learned at OES with her Russian experiences, Erin hopes her ideas will provide in­ creased opportunities for students and teachers to exchange ideas. 13 AUTUMN 19 9 2 ▲ Erin Lamb '93 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �Sho\<&bll E.E. FORD FOUNDATION FUNDS OES ENDOWMENT A generous grant of /W $50,000 from the A. A. Edward E. Ford Foundation earlier this year established an endowment fund for faculty and staff professional growth and development. Named by OES in honor of the Foundation, the Fund has grown to over $118,000 thanks to several generous donors and all those who supported the Sequins & Sweats Auction, w hich con­ tributed half its proceeds. Income from the Endow­ ment will be used to help faculty and staff fund class­ es, seminars and other edu­ cational opportunities. This summer over 75 individuals are involved in professional growth and development activities. LS Head says good-bye When it came rr KLiM time for OES to say farewell to Maxine Carlstedt, who has been □Bfl Lower School since 1987, perhaps the children said it best. Clustered around her special chair, in an unplanned but perfect touch, they shared the oohs and ahs, the giggles and sighs as LS families, faculty and staff presented Max with a memory book along with a collec­ tion of hats—nurse hat, traffic offi­ cer (cone) hat, sticker box hat. The highlight of the May 27 evening was Hal Phillips’ slide show, A Salute to Maxine. Student OMSI exhibit on salmon held over by popular demand Working together, OES biology and art students created and produced a special exhibit for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (OMSI)—What is it like to be a wild salmon in the Columbia River Basin?—that was originally scheduled to run from May 29 to June 15. But according to OMSI, the exhibit received so many positive comments that OMSI decided to hold it over into July. Under the direction of OES art teacher Sue Jensen and biolo­ gy teacher John LeCavalier, along with OMSI staff designers, students created a salmons’ eye view of drift nets, hydro-elec­ tric dams and gravel-bottomed spawning grounds—an opportu­ nity to experience the life-cycle of the anadromous wild salmon. The Biology students who acted as the writing and research team developed the supporting text. “The group editing required to distill one page of text into one paragraph of careful, age-appropriate language is a challenge not often encountered at such an early age,’’ said John. “And the small group process inherent in the project gave them a unique opportunity for col­ laborative decision-making.” Art Trek students made three-dimensional paper mache mod­ els of salmon at various stages of growth. They also designed, painted and dyed fabric backdrops that represent the life cycle of the salmon. The exhibit opened with a special reception on Friday, May 29, which featured specially designed fish cookies procured by OES Food Service Manager Jeff Marsh. OES installs new phone system Having outgrown its previous system, OES installed a new AT&T phone system that will meet the School’s expanding needs. While retaining a receptionist for incoming calls, the new system offers several options for improved accessibili­ ty, including user friendly voice mail and some direct dial numbers. OES hopes to complete training (and break-in) for all employees by the end of September. 14 Kenyan School Head visits OES Judith Njue, Founder and Director of Sawa Sawa Academy in Meru, Kenya, visited Oregon Episcopal School on June 1 to investi­ gate curriculum develop­ ment, long range planning, marketing and fundraising. Attending a management training seminar at Oregon State University on a schol­ arship that she received as recognition from the World Bank, Judith Njue talked with OES administrative staff and teachers, looking for ideas to use in Kenya. Sawa Sawa Academy, which began 10 years ago in one small wooden structure with eight students and one trained teacher, now boasts 20 acres, 460 students and 22 teachers. Former Trustee continues volunteering Former OES Trustee Carole Thomas was recently elected chairwoman of the Marquam Hill Steering Committee. The Committee’s pri­ mary role is to provide statewide support—friends and finances— for Oregon Health Sciences University. As an OES Trustee, Carole chaired the Development and Safety Committees. Her son John ‘89, was recently elected President of the Academic Senate at the University of Oregon, and her daughter Jennifer will be a junior at OES this fall. �What’s it like to be a pioneer? ▲ On Monday, June 1. OES third graders spent a day at the pioneer schoolhouse in Champoeg Park learning first hand what it was like to be pio­ neer schoolchildren. A During the yearlong pioneer unit third graders not only learn the historicalfacts but also read from actual pioneerjournals, makefamily trees, examine beaver habitats, make candles and paper quilts, learn pioneer games and songs and write diaries of themselves as pioneer children on the Oregon Trail. Here Kelly Kitchel and Rachel Knox play jacks with friends. ▼ For Adam Hewitt, the experience was particularly memorable. Adam is the great great great grandnephew of the Adam Hewitt who met with fellow pioneers at Champoeg Park and voted to organize a provisional gov­ ernment under the United States in 1841. In fact, the original Adam Hewitt's name is listed with hisfellows on the monument that commemorates the event in the park. (He’s pointing to the name.) Adam, who is the son of Henry and Sharon Hewitt, shared stories from the Hewitt family diaries from the 1843 Oregon Trail in class. ◄ Teacher Steve Seffmger shows Veronica Gilbert how to untangle her "Knitting Nellie”. ▲ Stefanie Kleber, Lauren Kaplan and April Miller enjoyed dressing in period costumefor the annual OES Pioneer Day, which is the culmination of the third grade study of Oregon history and the Oregon Trail. A Students learn what it’s like to travel without shock absorbers when they take a wagon ride around campus. ▲ Alex Ames practices an oldfashioned pastime, making yarn "snakes ” on a handmade "Knitting Nellie”. ▲ Kathy Gross’s third grade made a quilt and presented it to her as a teacher appreciation gift. 15 �AUTUMN 19 9 2 Alumni Profile Bobby Lee ’88 “One person can make a differ­ ence,” says Bobby Lee. “That’s one of the reasons I chose to run for student body president at the University of Oregon.” He ran on a platform with strong equal oppor­ tunity and affirmative action planks and won. Today he heads the Associated Students of the University of Oregon, which con­ trols a $4.7 million budget to pro­ vide student services. ▲ Bobby Lee ’88 elected U of O student body president for 92- '93 A Korean-American, Bobby came to OES speaking English as a sec­ ond language and spent two years at OES studying hard and playing drums, soccer and basketball. “My confidence wasn’t very high at first; it takes guts for an international student to speak up and partici­ pate. But OES builds confidence and encourages participation.” Bobby describes the U of O as a “community of associations— dormies, international students, Greeks, etc." that embodies more than 17,000 students. “It’s very, very big. You are your Social Security number, rather than a name." Coming from OES, which he describes as “a community of individuals”, his response to the long lines and large classes was to get actively involved. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL He became dorm president his freshman year and began as an intern in student government (the Associated Students of the University of Oregon or ASUO). In 1990 he became a peer counselor, and then took an ASUO executive position as affirmative action coor­ dinator during his sophomore and junior years. As a sophomore he also worked with fellow alum John Thomas *89 to found a campus radio station, which they hope will begin broadcasting in August 1992. Bobby remained interested in minority affairs, affirmative action and equal opportunity — he helped get the funding for the University’s first Asian American Studies class institutionalized, and both Bobby and John completed a major research project comparing the number of minority and white athletes who graduate. Meanwhile, Bobby continued to work his way up through student government, serving a term as president of the ASUO organization that oversees student health insurance. “The U of O is only one of three uni­ versities in the nation where student government controls incidental fees. This gives the ASUO $4.7 mil­ lion to use in providing services that include hate crime prevention pro­ grams, access for the handicapped, safety, transportation, childcare, athletic tickets, counseling and family housing.” Bobby explained that “the five branches of student government in the ASUO mirror the real world. We deal with business issues, equal opportunity, equitable allocation, social needs, and issues resulting from the OCA [Oregon Citizen’s Alliance] petition to Measure 5.” The ASUO also lobbies on the University, State and Federal levels. “After being in student government so long, I began to understand that ASUO decisions affect people’s lives. There were a lot of people who believed that I knew the issues and had the passion to make the right choices,” said Bobby, describ­ ing his decision to run for ASUO president. Bobby’s platform gave U of O students his plans for allocat­ ing the ASUO budget, including provisions for safety, students with disabilities, violence prevention and, in response to Measure 5, “quality education at a minimum cost”. Bobby says, “If we have to counteract the inequity [that exists in today’s society], let’s fund it.” Bobby ran against three other can­ didates and clinched the position in the primary, with support from a several different groups—Greeks, 16 family housing, dorms, internation­ al students, ethnic minorities and women. On May 25 he began his 12-month term of office as ASUO president. “I am now in a position to make decisions that affect many people. That means I am constant­ ly held accountable. My job is to articulate the vision.” The new ASUO president is not the only visible OES alumni at U of O. “There is a standing joke,” says Bobby, “that these OESians from a little private school in Portland are taking over student government at U of O.” Although he laughs, Bobby admits that OES alumni are very involved. John Thomas was just elected president of the Student Senate, the academic arm of ASUO. Dylan Coulter ‘89 served as one of Bobby's campaign man­ agers, after running a successful campaign for longer library hours this past year. Jason Sprague ‘89 is a member of the Student Senate. OESians at U of O also stay in touch with each other through what Bobby calls “our OES alum network”. They meet about once a month, sometimes playing softball or basketball or taking a trip to the beach. Last year they had Thanksgiving dinner together. “I have even become friends with OESians that I didn’t know well at OES. It’s not over just because we’ve graduated.” Bobby would like to start an annual summer gathering for young alums to help young alumni keep their ties together. Bobby described OES as a safe place to ask difficult questions. “Teachers at OES see students as individuals. But, more than anything else,” he said, “there is an OESian spirit. OESians are more real. They make a sincere effort; they’re curi­ ous. I may not have recognized it then, but in looking back, I see it as something terribly important. Bobby, who plans to pursue law school after his year as ASUO president, says, “OES helped me strengthen basic human skills such as interpersonal communica­ tion, respect and listening. I feel very fortunate to have had an OES education.” �Alumni Association President’s Corner This issue begins the second year of the President’s Corner. Over the past year, I have enjoyed writing about all the wonderful things happening at OES and with you, our alumni. During Reunion Weekend in June, a record number of alumni visited the OES campus. The Great Hall and Dining Room were abuzz with voices and laughter as old days were remembered and new friends made. An excellent lunch was enjoyed by all, followed by an informative State of the School speech, given by Headmaster Peter Stevens. Our featured speaker, John LeCavalier, Upper School science teacher and envi­ ronmentalist, educated us on how important the preservation of our wetlands and wildlife is. I enjoyed meeting many of you that day! I am pleased to report that plans for Founders’ Day 1992 are in motion! The annual luncheon will be held Wednesday, November 18 at the Multnomah Athletic Club. Our featured speaker is the newly appointed Superintendent of Portland Public Schools, Dr. John Bierworth. Dr. Bierworth will speak on the role of the Public Schools and the Private Schools working together in our community. I hope you will join us for what looks to be a great 123rd Founders’ Day! For the second year, we will again honor an outstanding alumna/us with the Bishop Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Alumni Award. One of our new programs that I am particularly excited about is the Class Agent program. Our goal is to have a class agent for each class. This individual will serve as a liaison between classmates and the school. Some of the duties include organizing class notes for the Belltower, working as class leader for the Annual Fund and encouraging classmates to attend alumni events and reunions. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to rekindle old friendships and become involved with OES. Our 125th Birthday is only two short years away. Plans for a cele­ bration of this size takes time and commitment by everyone in the OES community. The steering committee has formed and already has begun to organize this once in a lifetime celebration. Sean Kuni ‘81 has accepted the role as the alumni chairperson for this event. Again, I hope to see many of you involved in this project, and if you are called to volunteer, I hope you will give of your time! Please take a moment to look at the Alumni Association Calendar for 1992-93. I encourage you to attend one of our Board meet­ ings—we always welcome new faces and ideas! As always, if you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can serve the alumni com­ munity better, please contact me. You are important to us.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL The Senior Service and Reception on Tuesday, June 9th, kicked off the activities for Reunion Week 1992. Headmaster Peter Stevens and Alumni Board President Meridel Prideaux welcomed the 59 seniors into the OES Alumni Association with the gift of an OES alumni laundry bag and warm wishes from alumni, parents and friends. On the following evening, Trinity Episcopal Church was the site of the 122nd graduation ceremonies. Process­ ing with the class of 1992 were members of the 50 year reunion class of 1942— Lillian Johnson Wonders, who travelled from Victoria B.C., Charmian Kolar Hilleary, Anne Walker Davis and Joyce Wollum Stent. With hardly enough time to take a breath, the annual Alumni Luncheon fol­ lowed on Friday, June 12. Over 80 alumni from the classes of 1927-1985, together with friends and family members, visited the OES campus. The day began with the Alumni Memorial Service at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, which gives friends and family an opportunity to remember fellow alumni who died in the past year. Muriel Gabriel Heltzel ‘30 and Peter Stevens read the lessons. The Dean of the Cathedral, the Very Rev. Roy Coulter, was the celebrant, and James Isaak ‘85 was the organist. After the ser­ vice, alumni gathered in the Great Hall for a social featuring a special memorabilia exhibit highlighting the Junior College, and reunion classes enjoyed Memory Books, annuals and memorabilia span­ ning the past 70 years. After welcoming the group at the lun­ cheon, Alumni President Meridel Prideaux gave a brief report on the Alumni Association’s activities over the past year and recognized outgoing Alumni Board members Nancy Stolte Rosenfeld, Diana Beebe Buchanan and Geri Hanny Sargent for their three years of hard work and dedication to the Board. Headmaster Peter Stevens’ State of the School address followed. An enlightening speech on the impor­ tance of preserving our educational wet­ lands by keynote speaker, John LeCavalier, who is an Upper School sci­ ence teacher and environmentalist, high­ lighted the luncheon. John used maps and graphs as visual aids to discuss the OES Wetlands. Maryanna Eckman Hatch '42 JC from Durham, New Hampshire and Arlene Wollin Margulies ‘42 from Springfield, New Jersey were the two alums who had travelled the farthest to attend the re­ union. Members of the classes of 1942 SHH and 1942 JC, both celebrating their 50-year reunion, received an OES paper­ weight from the Alumni Association.

Current faculty members Cynthia Doran (College Counseling), Bill Lamb (Science) and David Streight (Counseling) visited with former students from the classes of 1981 and 1987. Much-needed rain did not dampen the spirits of those who climbed aboard the OES van for a tour of the new Sports and Recreation Center (SPARC). Kevin Cavanagh *82 received an OES mug for travelling from Hilton Head, South Carolina for his 10 year reunion. Many classes also gathered through­ out the week for individual events. The class of 1932 met Thursday, June 11th for a leisurely (3 hour!) lunch at the Multnomah Athletic Club, and casual Friday evening gatherings brought class­ mates from 1982 and 1987 together. On Saturday, June 13, members of the classes of 1972 SHH and BDH enjoyed a picnic at the Lake Oswego home of Warren and Bernice Bean, while 11 members from the class of 1947 JC gathered at the home of Sue Scouten Hammann for lunch and conversation. On June 26 and 27,12 members of the class of 1947 and their spouses met at Black Butte Ranch for a weekend reunion. Members of this class unite every 5 years at a different location. In August, graduates from the BDH and SHH class of 1967 gathered for the weekend at the Inn at Otter Crest for their 25th reunion.

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �AUTUMN 19 9 2 Meet new Alumni Board This year, the Alumni Board wel­ comes four new members. The Board strives to represent all of our constituents from St. Helens Hall, Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School. Members range in class years from 1928-1983. Meet new members: Kelly Dwyer ‘83, Melvin “Mel” Murphy *82, Alexandra "Allie” Zimmer *76 and Marilyn De Vault ‘67. This group brings enthusiasm and bright ideas to the Board. ALLIE ZIMMER attended OES for 14 years and later graduated from the University of Oregon with a BA in Interior Architecture. Allie return­ ed to Portland last year, after living and working in San Francisco for several years. Currently, she designs with Pacific Studios, her own firm. Allie was instrumental in planning her 15-year class reunion last year and looks forward to becoming involved with more alumni events. KELLY DWYER spent a total of ten years as a student at OES. She holds a BA in government from Smith College and an MBA in Finance from Notre Dame. In addi­ tion to working with the Board as they continue to build a strong, active and concerned Alumni Association, Kelly hopes to assist current OES students with career and education options. She enjoys volunteer work with the Junior League of Portland, golf and antiques. Returning to the Board in 92-93 is MARILYN DE VAULT. She owns Piece of Cake, a Lake Oswego based bakery/catering service that specializes in food design. Marilyn is looking forward to having a posi­ tive and active term. When asked her interests, she replied “art, art & more art!” She and her two daugh­ ters, Randi 20, and Tracy 13, enjoy the beach, travelling and sports. MELVIN “MEL” MURPHY attribut­ es his decision to become involved in alumni activities to his great educational experience at OES and his good friend and fellow alumni board member, Sean Kuni ‘81. He would like to see more young alums become involved in activi­ ties. Since graduating from Linfield College, Mel has been working at Nike in advertising. Mel likes run­ ning, outdoor activities and spend­ ing time at home in Beaverton with his wife Ann and their dog. The Alumni Board is always look­ ing for committed alumni to volun­ teer and become involved. Board members say it is a rewarding and gratifying experience to represent your class and school. Please con­ tact Alumni Board President Meridel Prideaux or the Alumni Office if you would like to be a part of this special group. SUPERINTENDENT OF PPS TO SPEAK AT FOUNDERS’ DAY Alumni, trustees, faculty, staff, par­ ents and members of the OES community are invited to celebrate the founding of St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School on Wednesday, November 18, at the School’s annual Founders’ Day Luncheon which will be held at the Multnomah Athletic Club. John E. Bierwirth, Portland Public School District’s new superinten­ dent, has graciously accepted the Alumni Association’s invitation to speak on "how independent and public schools work together for the good of education”. Bierwirth officially took charge of the 56,000-student district—the largest in the Pacific Northwest— on July 1. Though quick to acknowledge the challenges he faces under the property tax limits of Measure 5, Bierwirth says, "I won’t hold kids hostage for more money.” He is committed to push­ ing for higher student achieve­ ment. The Founders’ Day Luncheon also provides an opportunity to intro­ duce the recipient of the Benjamin Wistar Morris Distinguished Service Award. This award, estab­ lished last year, recognizes a St. Helens Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall and Oregon Episcopal School alumnus who, through their com­ mitment and service, has achieved significant successes in her/his professional careers and/or has made outstanding contributions in community involvement, thereby bringing honor to themselves and to OES. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 20 �BDH alumni joins campaign trail "Norm Frink (BDH ‘71) and I worked a lot in student politics. I still carry a lot of that with me,” said Ted Thomas BDH ‘71. Ted, who chaired the Oregon Ross Perot Petition Campaign, remem­ bers a school designed in the pat­ tern of a New England boys prep school. "The attempt was made by the headmaster and the board to impose heavy discipline—very authoritarian. It was a really inter­ esting time—very controversial. But when you attempt to impose authoritarian rules, people will find a way to circumnavigate. I sup­ pose it was a natural, intuitive response, consistent with what was going on in the 60s. I really enjoyed OES. It was a very good education. And the rules didn’t hurt at all." When Ted left OES, he believed he had left politics behind him, but when Ted began to feel as though though his ideas no longer count­ ed, it was time to re-evaluate. “I feel like everyone has to get up off the armchair and get involved in the political process or the country is doomed," explained Ted. It is this belief that each person is responsible, at some level, that prompted Ted, who then recruited his old BDH pal, Norm, to become involved in the now disbanded Ross Perot political campaign. Recently, he had begun to believe he had no voice where government was concerned. "Our government system is based on surrogates— journalists interpreting our views, determining who is or is not impor­ tant to listen to and, based on that, telling the people in Washington, D.C. what we think. This makes it easy to get out of the loop of those being heard." As the owner of Grand Max Software, a PC custom business software firm, Ted sought a candi­ date who met his criteria for President. "Government is like one very large business. You’ve got to set your priorities. Can the candi­ date run an organization? Does he have the organizational manage­ ment skills? Does he have his pri­ orities in order?" AUTUMN 19 9 2 Ted also believes people have started voting for issues rather than candidates. "People need to concentrate on the person rather than the issues. The President really doesn’t have any control over the issues, so aligning to the issues is pointless. The President should be willing to look to the electorate for their feel­ ings on issues and should follow the dictates of the electorate.” Though Perot’s supporters were disappointed in their candidate’s decision to withdraw from the presidential race, this group remains committed to many of the principles on which his campaign was based—sound fiscal manage­ ment of government and a com­ mitment to listen to the electorate. This extremely organized group has refused to disband and appears determined to have their views addressed, with or without a candidate. YESTERDAY AND TODAY Peter Stevens meets Bishop Morris’ granddaughter In February, OES Headmaster Peter Stevens stopped to visit with Mrs. Robert (Mary Wistar) O’Connor, daughter of Benjamin Wistar Morris, who was born at St. Helens Hall in 1870, the son of Benjamin Wistar Morris, Bishop of Oregon and founder of the School. Her great aunt Mary Rodney was the School's first headmistress, assisted by her sisters Lydia and Clementine and Rachel Morris. Although Mary Wistar has only been to Oregon once since a visit at the age of five, she remains interested in her "grandfather’s and Aunt Mary’s dream". Mary Wistar remembers stories of her grandparents meeting, and of her father’s birth, as well as tales of the challenge of founding a school just 25 years after the Oregon Trail opened. She has particularly vivid memories of her personal experi­ ences of a train trip to Portland when she was five—she remem­ bers crying at the plight of some poor Native Americans. Things had changed from her grandfa­ ther’s accounts of Native American friends—friends who had once returned his sons who had become lost while camping. Mary Wistar mentioned that she has many, many letters and papers from an interesting and widely connected family. Mary Wistar’s father was the last child of Hannah Rodney and the Bishop, and the only one not born in the East. At the age of six, he witnessed the tragic death of his older brother, Rodney, in a con­ struction accident. After early schooling in Oregon, he went East to Columbia College in New York, but returned to Oregon briefly after the death of his aunt Mary. Back in the East he was invited to pursue his career in art and architecture at the Beaux Art in Paris, and later became a widely recognized archi­ tect. Mary Wistar grew up in the East and married Robert O’Connor, who was a junior partner in her father's architectural firm.
