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

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

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

I was sent to New Orleans so I could help start up Summerbridge Portland in ‘93. As a second year staff I was put in more of a leadership role because I already knew the ropes. I am on the “A-Team” which is the administration committee. We meet twice a day and deal with logistics. June 18, 93 Today was the first day of staff orientation. I met the last two staff members that I hadn’t met yet — Mike Doran and Ralina Landwehr. It’s nice to already know the local staff, A-Team members, and the people who came in yes­ terday. Jenny Lovejoy from San Francisco is staying at my house. She is very friendly and I think we will get along fine. ATeam greeted everyone with a really corny song. I wonder what they thought of us? I think the best part of my day was having a long talk with Oye. We talked about my growing up in Summerbridge, high school, college, and thinking styles. I really trust him because he seems willing to go out on a limb for me. He told me that he knew last summer when he saw me teach in New Orleans that I would be a good teacher. I asked him why he put me on A-Team when I was only in high school. He said that it seemed like the most logical step for me in my Summerbridge expe­ rience. I feel better about being the only high schooler on A-team now because I know that I have Oye’s 100% support. Kirsten Martens, who will be a Junior at Oregon Episcopal School, just completed her second summer as June 20, 93 Yesterday we all went on the OES ropes course. I especially liked the challenge where we had four “blind” people who didn’t know what was going on, including me, and four "mute” people who did know what was going on. Our challenge was to swing across about ten feet of ground to a platform and have everyone standing on it. I felt like I was on a big adventure because I had no idea what it was I was supposed to do because, of course, the mute people couldn't tell. It was exciting to swing on the rope because I had no idea how high up I was. a Summerbridge June 23, 93 Summerbridge is going well, but it is exhausting. I feel really connected with people. My academic buddy Jacob is great. People are working hard; this is a group full of perfectionists. her “amazing June 28, 93 Today was the first day the kids came and it was very interesting to see their reaction to being crowned like Max in Where the Wild Things Are. My classes were okay but not as good as I had hoped that they would be. The first day is always hard because it’s difficult to balance the getting to know each other games and real academic work. Before they came in the classroom I had hidden numbers on note cards all over the room and they had to find them and play a game with them. My second period class is all girls and they seemed really nervous. However my third period class is wild. They already all knew each other because they came from the same Writing Through Literature double period class. addition to meet­ June 29, 93 I did an activity with fractions where I threw a whole box of pens on the floor. It was a better way for them to understand the definition of “fraction” than having me write it on the board and having them memorize it. I was so happy I almost cried when Valinda, my student, said "Math is different here at Summerbridge, and I like it.” Yesterday, she told me that she didn’t like math. July 1, 93 My classes were great today and so was my soccer minicourse. (Actually it’s also Mike's minicourse.) We work really well together, and the kids seem to enjoy soccer because many of them come early, running at full speed down the hill. In my math classes I played a factor game — students against teacher. It was great to watch and listen to them plot against me. I had fun pretending to be very upset that they beat me. teacher. She says that Summer­ bridge has given opportunities'1. In ing her teaching and administrative responsibilities, Kirsten has spo­ ken to the Catlin and OES Boards as a representa­ tive and acted as an admissions officer for the program. July 2, 93 Today was Spirit Day, a time for clubs to present their names in a skit and a chant. A-Team members don’t have a club so we did a rap instead. I never thought that I would see myself rap, but I had a lot of fun. Theresa and I had our pants down really low, shirts around our waists, and backwards hats on our heads. We practiced outside, and it was funny because the kids were spying on us through their classroom windows. Every morning we greet the buses and every afternoon we wave goodbye. It is amazing because I already know all of the kids names and I have talked to almost all of them. When ever I slap hands with Coung and Aaron they always want to do the Summerbridge handshake. I have to be on my tippy toes to reach their hands. The best part of the day was my class when we played a fraction game. The game went well except Kory got upset because he lost and stopped participating and said that he didn’t care about math. The good part was that at the end of class I had a little talk with Kory and he said “ Yeah, I guess I care about math.” July 12, 93 I am so happy because I made the students sit down by raising my voice and they responded. I feel like they respect me. I had a conference with Valinda’s and Kory’s parents, and I think I made a good impression. I had a great 2nd period — they got into the measuring their heights. They seemed to really grasp the idea of multiplication and division of fractions. Third period wasn’t as smooth because Kory acted out and Kristina told me that she didn’t do her homework because “ I don't do homework on weekends.” During after school time, I really connected with Kristina. I got her caught up in her work and we talked about her grades and her frustrations with her regular school. She says that she is happy to be in a class of four people instead of thirty-two. I think I am going to see an improvement in her performance. There will still be hard times working with her, but she is coming around. August 8 I can’t believe Summerbridge Portland's first summer is already over. Our theme, Where the Wild Things Are, still rings clear in my memory. I remember the hours that we spent decorating the school. We cut out leaves, hung streamers, made paper trees, hung up welcome signs, and made 36 crowns, one for each student. As I sit and write this, taking bits and pieces from my journal and adding things that I remember from the summer, I am sad because it is over. I will hopefully see all of my students during the year through Saturday School and tutoring, but it won't be the same. I love Summerbridge. I am going to miss the staff tremendously. Now I can just look forward to next summer and hope I enjoy it as much as this summer. 7 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �ShoAi&ell US Track team finishes with success at State his year’s track season came to a close in a blaze of victory, fol­ lowing a great spring. Both girls and boys teams remained competitive all season, and, according to Coach Joel Gray, “Our ath­ letes competed their best when it mattered most.” With outstanding individual performances and an impressive second place fin­ ish at the league champi­ onship meet, ten OES ath­ letes qualified for the State Track Meet on May 21-22. Individual honors at District went to Adriane Thornton, who was selected most valuable girl track ath­ lete in the district for her three first place finishes plus a second place. Both the Girls and Boys teams had impressive finish­ es at the State competition too. The Girls 1600 Relay team finished 3rd place. Individual performances by Lisa Hayward, who placed 3rd and set a new School record, and Ben Chessar, who posted a 3rd place fin­ ish in the High Jump, also highlighted the two-day event. Three OESians receive National Merit scholarships The National Merit Scholarship Corporation named Alex de Weese and Lisa Hayward, both graduates of the Class of ‘93, as Finalists in the 1993 competition for National Merit Scholarships. Alex and Lisa, who placed in the top half of one percent of Oregon seniors, both received congratulatory letters and Certificates of Merit. AJex also received notification that he is the recipi­ ent of a $2000 Merit Scholarship. Merit Scholarship winners, chosen by a committee of college admissions officers and secondary school counselors convened for this purpose, are Finalists judged to have the strongest combination of abilities and accomplishments needed for future academic success. Lisa was awarded a College-sponsored Merit Scholarship to Carleton College. There are 3200 such awards each year, designated for particular colleges, and the awards are renewable for up to four years. Kevin Holliday, who was competing in Special Scholarship division, received notification that he has been awarded a renewable $500 scholarship from the May Department Stores Company Foundation. Students and faculty receive Cum Laude recognition The Cum Laude Society, a national society which recognizes academic excellence in high school students, recently elected nine seniors to its ranks. The students, Alex de Weese, Meraiah Foley, Erika Hagensen, Ross Harris, Lisa Hayward, Zanette Johnson, Nora Kobos, Erin Lamb and Makiko Yamazoe, were recognized for the discipline, curiosity, independence and breadth of their accomplishments. The OES Chapter also elected French Teacher Pam Vohnson and Performing and Fine Arts Teacher Jack O’Brien as faculty members. Steven Koblick, the new President of Reed College, spoke on the need for life long learning at the induction ceremony. 8 OES continues to excel in Mock Trials competition An impressive performance by OES students Rachel Frank, Erin Boyle, Margaret Spring, Britta Mauritz, Damien Ritter, Toby Menely, Dan Drinkward, Courtney Kaempf, Larisa Meisenheimer, Jennifer Thomas, Tyler Freres, Kyle Freres, Joe Ferguson, Hank Failing, Nancy Whang, David Moser and Courtney Voelker in the regional section of the Oregon Law Related Eduction Program, commonly referred to as Mock Trials, qualified the OES team to advance to the State Competition. Over 250 students from 77 schools throughout Oregon spent months preparing their cases. At regional competi­ tions, which took place in six areas throughout the state, the top 21 teams were select­ ed to advance to the State competition. OES Parents Keith Meisenheimer, a Senior District Attorney for Multnomah County, and the Honorable Judge Dorothy Baker, District Court Judge for the State of Oregon for Multnomah County, co-coached the OES team to the finals. The Mock Trials, held Friday and Saturday, lApril 2-3, culminated in a final match between OES and Grant High School. In the fictitious case, a security guard, who also hap­ pens to be a member of a white supremist organization, assaults an African American employee of a research lab �during an animal rights demonstration outside the lab. Arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, the security guard is brought to trial and charged with disorderly con­ duct and assault in State of Oregon v. Stover. Despite the fictitious nature of the case, the students’ enthusiasm was very real. In this unique competition, not only must students prepare cases for both the plaintiff and the defendant, as they will be expected to act as counsel for both the plaintiff and the defendant, but they must also role-play all the roles involved in the case — attorneys, wit­ nesses and court officials. The second place finish is an outstanding accomplish­ ment for a team competing for its second year. In fact, this year's winner, Grant, placed second in last year’s Mock Trials.

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

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

And the rest," she says, “is history.” Some OESians know she loves Star Trek, but isn’t fond of spiders. And everyone in the Lower School knows Michelangelo, her turtle — named by students for the cartoon. She also collects “rhinobelia.” Her obvious passion for science and kids complement her story­ telling ability. ▲ A design technology' success!

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

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

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

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

OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 17 �AUTUMN 19 9 3 Beloved teacher named honorary alumna “Many people ask me why I don’t teach anymore, I always tell them I have too many fond memories of my days at OES to teach anywhere else.” — Eleanor Fass, honorary alumna Former Middle School Dean, Social Studies Teacher and Director of Residence, Miss Eleanor Fass received the Honorary Alumna dis­ tinction at the Alumni Association’s annual spring luncheon held Saturday, June 19, 1993, during Reunion Weekend. Miss Fass is the first faculty member to be honored with the distinction, which recog­ nizes an individual who has shown great commitment and service to the OES community. Miss Fass, who earned an MA in Geography from Clark University, taught “social science” — geogra­ phy, history and government — at OES from 1969 until her retirement in 1985. She served as Dean of the Middle School from 1969 to 1983. In addition to teaching and admin­ istrative work, she advised the social service group and spon­ sored a cooking club in the dorms. After retiring, she moved to King City and now is an active volun­ teer, “helping all the people [she] didn’t have time for when [she] was teaching”. Currently, she works with King City’s Budget Committee and Health and Social Service Advisory Board and is sec­ retary for the Dial-A-Ride trans­ portation program. She also chairs the Education Committee of the local chapter of the Oregon Retired Educators Association and delivers Meals on Wheels. Miss Fass wears her King City Volunteer lapel pin with pride — last April, the King City Council named Miss Fass their first Volunteer of the Year. When alumni were asked to send in their favorite School memories, The Alumni Office received wonderful accounts of how Miss Fass shaped and influenced peoples’ lives, both personally and professionally: “.../ am spending the month of June touring Europe and visiting famous sites in Turkey. Little did I realize when Miss Fass intro­ duced me to geography in the 6th grade that I would actually visit the places we studied!” — Aimee Froom ‘87 ▲ Miss Eleanor Fass accepts her Honorary! Alumna plaquefrom Meridel Prideaux 59. “One of my most cherished memories at OES is from Miss Fass’s History class. We were instructed to write a paper on our sister city in Japan. I won the “key to the city” for my paper and she personally awarded me a real key. That key did tremendous things for my self esteem. ” — Bonnie Page Crowley, ‘75 “Some of my favorite memories of Miss Fass are her innovative assignments...our “islands”, tourist contest and our great debates with Gary Garyfallou [‘84]. Miss Fass made geography and government real and made us all excellent Trivial Pursuit and Jeopardy players!” — Paige Parker Kuni, ‘84 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 18 ▲ Miss Fass tells tbe guests during the spring luncheon about her many memories of OES and her active life as a volunteer in King City. �Alumni Profile Tanja Horvat Vasiljevic '74 — mother, physician, refugee Half way around the world, peace is only a dream for the people of former Jugoslavia. Few families have been left unaffected by the atrocities war inevitably brings. Here in the United States, reactions to the war have been varied. Some Americans remain con­ fused. Others are angered by the media images, many reminiscent of the holo­ caust. Still others cannot understand the attitudes of leaders who seem to be behaving like ill-mannered children in refusing to allow UN convoys to bring in basic necessities. As the death toll continues to rise — over 12,000 in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo alone — isolated pockets of people here in the United States work to help where they can. Recently, a group of concerned OESians banded together to offer a safe haven to one of their own, Tanja Horvat Vasiljevic ‘74. “With only 35 people in the Class of 1974, Tanja was an integral comrade in our closely knit band of boarding and day students," wrote Autumn Alexander ‘74, who is Valley Life editor for the Yakima Herald-Republic, in a front page story. “Long after high school, traveling class­ mates would make the effort to get to Sarajevo to seek her out as she studied to be a doctor." Like many Jugoslavians, Tanja, who had spent most of her life in Sarajevo which is a sophisticated city about the size of Portland, gave little thought to the ethnic and religious differences that are an integral part of the region's history. When World War II ended, many people hoped that the creation of a single unified country would allow people to bury the ethnic strife of the past 1300 years. Under the leadership of President Tito, Jugoslavia earned a reputation as the most progressive communist county. In retrospect, many feel that it was unrealis­ tic to expect a country with 24 ethnic groups, three major religions, two alpha­ bets and six different republics — Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herce­ govina, Macedonia and Montenegro — to find peace within its borders. Tanja seemed to be a living example of what Jugoslavia might have become. When, in her early twenties, Tanja met Nino Horvat, the two never felt a need to discuss their heritage — she is Serbian and he Croatian. “We are both Bosnians — there isn’t any difference,” she explained. Later, Tanja would say, “This (war) started with hate. After World War II, hate wasn’t burned out; the Serbs wanted to go get Muslims and Croats." By May of 1992, despite efforts to keep life as normal as possible — both for themselves and their 5-year-old daughter, Ivana, the Horvats could no longer ignore the snipers who had forced them to live in the hallway of their apartment for safety. Life quickly began to disintegrate. First, the scarcity of food forced Tanja and Nino to save anything with nutritive value for Ivana. Then the electricity and water stopped, leaving only a shallow pool in the bathtub. Tanja was torn between conflict­ ing desires — keeping her family together or finding freedom and relative safety. Tanja braved the snipers to scour the city for a convoy that might take them to safety and located one through the university where she had worked. When recalling the painful departure from her husband, Tanja says, “I had the feeling that I won’t come back.” After a harrowing journey across the border, Tanja and Ivana made their way to her mother’s home in Montenegro. In Montenegro, Tanja’s Serbian moth­ er shared stories of her treatment at the hands of Croats during World War II. “She had bad feelings about Croats,” Tanja said. "Well, I had bad feelings about Serbs. They were shooting at me and my child. If they were Martians I would be angry about that — it didn’t matter what I am — what mattered is who shoots at me from the hill." As rumors of increasing fighting reached the town, and money became increasingly tight, Tanja realized the time had come to move on. Despite letters of guarantee from friends in Portland and a classmate in the United States State Department who was pulling for her, the only answer she received from the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade was “Sorry, sorry, sorry." Finally, in September, Tanja accepted a visa arranged by a refugee friend in Germany. Hating to go even farther away from Nino, Tanja and Ivana reluctantly boarded the train for Munich. With the help of her refugee friends, Tanja, who spoke no German, found a place to live. And, despite her experience as a derma­ 19 tologist back home in Sarajevo, the only job Tanja was able to find was menial labor in a nursing home. “I don’t care about money, nothing is important,” she said. “After you have everything, and now you don't have any­ thing, you start asking yourself, what is important in your life." One of the best things in Tanja's life has been the rare letters from Nino. Each letter carries gruesome details — friends who are dead or have lost arms and legs — and a sense of despair, since Nino feels his chances to get out are “about zero". In a letter she sent to Autumn, Tanja wrote, "I am not a religious person but I start to pray to gods to help him. It's the only thing I can do. I was listening to Radio Sarajevo the last few nights, and I noticed that things are changed and some new people are on the air. The old people from the city escape from Sarajevo, and new people full of hate are in town. They are scared, hungry, horrified with death but used to it, they smell blood and they want blood. That is a town I couldn't recognize and the people I couldn't recognize. I don’t have my country anymore, I don't have my town, I don't have my home, I don't have my family. What else can I lose? Only mind! The people without the land are accursed to go around the world in search for a place, but usually they don’t find it. Dorothy, from the Wizard of Oz is a lucky girl. The only thing she had to say is: There is no place like home — and she was in Kansas. I don’t have magic shoes. On April 6, it was one year from the beginning of the war in Bosnia. That day we were watching on the TV a journal about the war in Sarajevo, and Ivana start­ ed to cry when she saw two dead babies, telling me: “Why did we go out and leave my father alone? He’ll be dead like those babies and I’ll never see him again." Then I started to cry — I usually don’t do that in front of her — but... Then she took two teddy bears, one for her to hug and one she gave me to hug, and then I started to laugh. It’s very hard for me to be alone with her, but I'm lucky to have her. From my past life I have only three pic­ tures here with me (and lots of memories.) Ivana doesn't want to look at it because, she said, “I don't want my father on a pic­ ture, I want him here with me. So my past was hard, my present is hard and I have only a hope that my future is going to be better. I'm happy that I have a hope in spite of everything. I must be brave or crazy. I don't know... “ AUTUMN 19 9 3 Editor’s note: This story by Jody McNannay was made possible thanks to the efforts of Autumn Alexander ‘74, Valley Life editor of the Yakima HeraldRepublic, one of Tanja’s classmates. Tanja continues to keep in touch with Autumn in hopes of finding a way to secure her husband’s safe passage out of Sarajevo. Meanwhile her OESian friends are working to bring Tanja to Oregon. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �REUNION ■93 True to this year’s reunion theme, the OES Alumni Association planned special activities for all alumni, faculty and friends to gather, recall school days and talk about fun times, people and places. Over 150 alumni enjoyed the events held during this year’s Reunion Weekend on June 18-19. The reunion activities began on Wednesday, June 15, with the Senior Service. Immed­ iately following, seniors, their families and friends were guests of the Alumni Assoc­ iation at the Senior Reception honoring the Class of 1993. Alumni Coordinator, Anne Robinson, introduced the Class Agent for 1993, Tom Tewksberry, and Alumni Board President Meridel Prideaux ‘59 welcomed the graduates into the OES Alumni Association with the gift of an OES alumni laundry bag as well as hopes that they will come back to visit anytime.

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

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