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

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

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

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

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

Interview with Wayne Drinkward On October 13, the faculty, staff, and administration of OES spent the day at a special retreat with the Board of Trustees. This session, held at the Franciscan Renewal Center near Lewis and Clark College, gave everyone involved a chance to get to know each other and the work that each of us do. To help share this knowledge, John Lauerman, Director of Development, interviewed OES Board of Trustees President, Wayne Drinkward. JL: Why does OES have a Board of Trustees? WD:The Board of Trustees is charged with the responsibility of managing the affairs of Oregon Episcopal School, a nonprofit corporation organized for the pur­ pose of operating a primary and secondary school and offering its students a superior education in a Christian atmosphere. JL: What does the Board of Trustees do? WD:The Board of Trustees has a number of specific responsibilities. Among them are determining the School’s mission and policies, hiring the Head of the School, supporting the Head and reviewing his or her performance, ensuring effective organizational planning, ensuring adequate financial resources, determining and moni­ toring the School’s programs and services, enhancing the School’s public image, and assessing its own performance. WD: There are 25 members of the Board of Trustees. Two of the trustees are the Bishop of the Diocese of Oregon who serves as Chairman of the Board, and the Rector of the Parish Church of St. John the Baptist. The Diocesan Convention elects nine Episcopal Trustees who are recommended by the Diocesan Nominating Com­ mittee. The Bishop appoints the remaining trustees who are recom­ mended by a Committee on Trustees. The Headmaster, the Chair of Volunteers’ Common Link, the President of the Alumni Associ­ ation and the Chair of the Pacific Rim Council serve as ex-officio trustees. Trustees are selected for the talents they bring to the Board and for their willingness to commit those talents to the interest of the School. We look at a breadth of issues and diversity of skill sets so we have legal representation, finan­ cial expertise, educational experi­ ence, etc. Finally, we look for a mix of gender, race and other types of diversity so the Board looks and feels like our community. JL: How long do trustees serve on the Board? WD: Elected or appointed trustees serve three years terms and may not serve more than two consecu­ tive terms. JL: Are trustees paid for their service? WD:No, trustees are not paid, they serve on a voluntary basis. In fact, trustees are expected to provide leadership in the area of fund rais­ ing and development. One hundred percent of the Board contributes each year to the OES Fund. Like­ wise, 100 percent of the Board contributed to the most recent capital campaign which raised $4.5 million for the construction of the new Middle School and the renovation of Bishop Dagwell Hall. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 12 JL: How is the Board structured? WD:The Board structure includes a Chairman who is always the Bishop, a President, a Vice President, a Secretary, and a Treasurer. There is an Executive Committee of six people that is charged with over­ seeing the work of the Board and managing specific agendas. In addition, there are several standing committees that work in specific areas to support the activities of the Board. This year, we are experi­ menting with some smaller “mini­ boards” which will meet in alternate months to discuss key issues relat­ ed to our Strategic Plan objectives. JL: Are trustees the only people who serve on committees? WD:No. Committee membership may include people from outside of the Board of Trustees. These people are chosen because they represent expertise not represented on the Board. Their input and rec­ ommendations as well as those of the committee flow up to the full Board for discussion and approval. JL: How often does the Board meet? WD: Typically, the Board meets monthly during the School year. Committees may meet more fre­ quently. JL: What is the role of the Episcopal Church in the gover­ nance of the School? WD:The Church is actively interest­ ed in seeing that the School is managed in the spirit that respects the Episcopal tradition, but the Church does not determine the curriculum or the specific nature of how that education is delivered. They have made specific efforts to make OES a welcoming kind of community for people of all faiths. �our goals. We have a terrific student body. Our emphasis on developing global citizens is very exciting for us as we implement programs for the future. JL: What is the trustees’ relation­ ship with parents? WD:The trustees serve the organi­ zation as a whole rather than any special interest group or constituen­ cy. We strive to maintain indepen­ dence and objectivity and do what a sense of fairness, ethics, and per­ sonal integrity dictate. Many of the trustees are parents, but they are not members of the Board solely by virtue of their being parents. We do look to parents as well as other constituents as being central to our decisions, and they are wel­ come to attend our meetings. JL: What is the trustees’ relation­ ship with the faculty, staff, and administration? WD: The Board’s mission is to work on strategic planning and policy for the long-term benefit of the School. The faculty and staff, under the direction of the administration, are charged with the day-to-day man­ agement of the School. Our Board meetings typically include the Headmaster, the Heads of each of the divisions, the Director of Admissions, Director of Develop­ ment, and Chief Financial Officer, so all issues that are discussed and decisions that are made are done in the presence of and with their full input. We do look to them to imple­ ment policy and to deal directly with parents and students on a day-to-day basis. JL: What are some of the current issues before the Board? WD: This year, we are looking at several areas. We are currently developing a Strategic Plan which allows us to identify key issues for the next five years and hopefully beyond. We are updating some of the past work and introducing some new priorities so we can share a common framework with parents, students, faculty, and alumni about what the School needs to be work­ ing on. We are also establishing priorities for those items. Some of the key areas in front of us are the completion of the Master Plan, continuing to improve faculty A U T U M N 1 9 9 7 JL: What motivated you to get involved with the Board of Trustees? ▲ Wayne Drinkward compensation levels, building an endowment that will help support our financial plan and lessen our dependency on tuition, improving communication between our vari­ ous constituencies, and introducing a higher level of understanding as to evaluation and accountability for delivering the product we promise. These are long term discussions that need to involve everyone, and hopefully we will identify sub-issues which we can work on to improve the value of an OES education. WD:My wife, Julie, and I have four children. Daniel ‘95 and David '97 attended OES and are now in col­ lege. Our son, James, is in ninth grade and our daughter, Anne, is in third grade. Their OES education has been very valuable and they have turned out to be great people. I want to give something back to OES. I have about a 25 year span of history in my direct family that will be affected by what I give, and I hope to be able to help improve the kind of educational opportunity not only for everyone who is here now, but for future generations as well. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of OES and the volunteer community. It is really an exciting endeavor when people work together as much as they do at OES for the benefit of our students and each other. I am fortunate to be able to help. JL: What lies ahead? WD: I believe the School is in the best condition it has ever been in. We are fully enrolled and we are doing a good job of delivering a quality education to our students. The educational world in general, however, has a number of con­ cerns that will inevitably affect us. We see these concerns in the pub­ lic sector and in a number of areas around us in which people want to understand and redefine the role of education. We are also seeing increased competition from other types of independent schools in our vicinity. The world around us is changing and we need to under­ stand this and adjust accordingly. We are excited about moving into our second year with Charlie Bergman as Headmaster and help­ ing to form long-term relationships with the administration, faculty and staff that will help us accomplish O R EGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 13 �AUTUMN 19 9 7 Ek Gj-awlt! F e Fencing jD att OES O E S espite its violent and deadly roots the modern and safe sport of fencing is gaining populari­ ty in the United States, especially at Oregon Episcopal School. Colleen Grace Olney was the OES fencing coach from 1971 until her untimely death in 1995. During her years at OES she worked tirelessly to share the sport she loved with as many young athletes as possible. The OES fencing facility at SPARC was named in her honor in June 1995. Salle Olney (/a salle is French for “room”) is one of the finest fenc­ ing facilities in the Northwest and will host the Junior Olympic Qualify­ ing Meet this coming December. Following the death of Colleen Olney, Ed Korfanty assumed lead­ ership of the fencing program at OES. Since 1993, Ed has been the Head Fencing Master of the Oregon Fencing Alliance, the Oregon Divi­ sion of the United States Fencing Association, a role that he contin­ ues today. Before coming to Oregon, Ed was the assistant fencing coach at the University of Notre Dame and coach of the Indiana Fencing Academy. An exciting aspect of coaching for Ed is introducing the sport to young athletes. “In the United States it is hard to get kids. Every sport pulls them—soccer, baseball, football— so I start working with the kids when they are young.” Building on the already strong, established program, Ed has con­ tinued to increase the popularity of fencing at the School. There are now nearly 40 students involved in the program. Sixth grader Phillip Koop has been with the program for five years and has seen the growth. “I used to be the only fencer in my age group. Now there are more.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL A Sixth grader Phillip Koop practices his epee while Head Fencing Coach Ed Korfanty watches his technique. Seventh grader Patrick Ghattas has been fencing sabre for four years and has learned a great deal from the experience. He credits his coach with helping him to grow. When asked what he has learned, Patrick responds, “how to make your opponent short, and when you lose to go up and shake their hand. Ed taught me that." OES parent and fencing club president Grant Farr confirms this aspect of the sport. “Despite fencing’s bloody roots, it teaches honor and the rules of decorum. It is also an unusual sport so it fosters a sense of camaraderie and a lot of pride.” Another exciting thing about the OES fencing pro­ 14 gram for Grant is that OES has so many athletes who are ranked at all age and skill levels. This past July, The United States Fencing Association held its National Championships in Santa Clara, California. Approximately 1,350 fencers competed in 68 events ranging from Under-10 to Veterans and Wheelchair. Of the 41 states sending athletes to the event, Oregon had the fourth largest contingent with 59 fencers. �AUTUMN 19 9 7 By the time the dust had settled on the piste, five OES students had received medals in the following events.

This award, given by the U.S. Fencing Coaches Asso­ ciation, recognizes the breadth and depth of his coaching career, his achievements in coaching elite fencers, and in promoting fencing in his community. OES Junior Seth Kelsey heartily endorses this recog­ nition. “My coach is the greatest in the world!" ▲ Seventh Grader Patrick Ghattas tosses his mask in the air between bouts. Sam Blake, a sixth grader, prepares for his turn by adjusting his protective glove. ▲ Assistant Coach Adam Skarbonkiewicz confers with fifth grader Bill Thanhouser while two athletes practice their moves on one of the pistes in Salle Olney. part of this past summer training in Hungary with the United States epee team. More than 300 athletes from around the world had the opportunity to meet and practice their skills. He also finds that the discipline of fencing helps him in many situations. “The mental aspect of the sport is at least 10 times much more important than the physical. You can prepare for a match all you want, but if your mind isn’t in the game you can go down in the first round. Everything is like that.” Once students graduate from OES there are many opportunities for them to use their skills. Seth hopes to go to the Olympics and is very matter-of-fact about the possibility. “The opportunity is there. I just have to seize it. The average age of the mens’ epee team is about 30, so I have time. I am just at the beginning of my career." Two other examples of post-OES fencing success are alumnae Claudette de Bruin '92 and her sister Monique ‘95. Both received full-ride athletic scholarships. Claudette attended Notre Dame where she received a degree in Mathematics and Monique is currently studying at Stanford University. Seth has been fencing epee for the past six years. He really enjoys the opportunities for travel and meeting new people that fencing provides. For example, Seth spent KNOW YOUR WEAPON The modern sport of fencing has three different weapons. Each weapon has a different method of scoring touches and its own strategy for offense and defense. The foil is the modern version of the court sword. A foil is very light and about 35 inches long. Touches with a foil are scored only with the point on the trunk of the body. The epee is the same length as a foil, but heavier. It also has a larger hand guard and a more rigid blade. Like the foil, touches are scored only with the point, but can be landed anywhere on the body. The sabre, similar in size and weight to an epee, is a weapon for cutting and thrusting—a modern version of the slashing cavalry sabre. The guard on a sabre curves around the hand to protect the knuckles. Touches are scored any place on the body above the waist. OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 15 �AUTUMN 19 9 7 HELEN CURTIS HYDE (1910 - 1997) T T777”hen she graduated from St. Helens Hall in 1929, Helen Curtis 1/1/ Hyde “willed” to one of her junior classmates her “ability to F F finish tests with lightning speed.” It was also predicted in her Delphic Yearbook that one day Helen would be “touring the country with Fanchon and Marco Stage Revues...as the chief dancer in the adagio group.” Although never a performer, Helen continued with post graduate classes at the Hall, worked at the English Hat Shop, cared for her mother and aunt, and became involved with the Episcopal Church and the Rosicrucian Order AMORC. And, while it is not known whether her friend improved upon her test timing, Helen later created another will which is certain to benefit many OES students. Helen was known to plan for everything. Whether it was organizing her sixtieth class reunion or preparing for potential disasters, Helen was ready. The final proof of her diligence was evidenced in her estate plans. In December, 1996, OES was informed that Helen had named the school as a beneficiary in her will. Helen died on July 3, 1997. From her modest estate, OES will receive approximately $300,000 for an “endowed scholar­ ship for deserving students.” This remarkable gift is a tribute not only to the “Hall,” but to Helen, who thoughtfully and generously planned for the future. LOG ON TO EDUCATION.. GIVE TO THE The 1997-98 OES Fund is off to a fantastic start. Through the support and dedication of alumni, parents, past parents, grandparents, faculty and staff, and friends of OES, the goal of $375,000 will be easily achieved. The theme for this year’s OES Fund is Log on to Education, celebrat­ ing technology’s growing role in an OES student’s education. Many members of the OES community may remember when a typewriter or calculator was a novelty in the classroom. Today at the School, students begin working on comput­ ers in the Lower School, and con­ tinue as they process through the Upper School, where computer use is as common as books are in the classroom. To recognize this importance, the OES Fund has established a web site that k will keep the OES community abreast on the Fund’s progress throughout OES FUND the year. You can visit the site at http://www.oes.edu/give/OESFund. The OES Fund helps Oregon Episcopal School continue to be financially strong. A student’s tuition only covers 77% of the cost involved with an education at the School. The OES Fund helps to bridge this gap. Excellent teachers, small classes, and individual atten­ tion are just a few things OES is able to provide for its students with the support of the Fund. When you support the OES Fund you are helping to ensure that students today are able to not only experience what alumni of the School fondly remember, but also to move ahead and become a part of OES’ history. There are various ways in which you can make a contribution to the OES Fund. By using the attached envelope you can make a donation by check, OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 16 cash, or credit card. Or you may want to consider making a gift using appreciated stock. This option of giving has grown in popu­ larity because the benefits to the donor are three-fold: contributions to OES are 100% tax deductible, capital gains taxes can be avoided, and, of course, you are helping OES do what it does best—provide an exceptional educational experi­ ence for its students. The OES Fund is the only program that requires the collaboration of all of the School’s constituents to be successful and reach its goal. If you have any questions about the OES Fund, you can call Jennifer Calhoun, Director of Annual Giving, in the Development Office at (503) 768-3180. ��1 HEADMASTER’S REPORT Dear Friends, “¥"t’s a pleasure and an honor to I thank the entire OES community JLfor its wonderful generosity in making 1996/97 another great fundraising year. This year was my first opportunity to observe closely the extraordinary energy and dedica­ tion of die many individuals who bring such success to our develop­ ment efforts. And as I review the many marvelous impressions of my first year as headmaster, the affection for the School manifested by those individuals has to rank among the most moving and profound. A few examples immediately come to mind. First, it is no exaggeration to say that OES has a team of volunteers that is second to none in its sheer energy and creativity, and this is nowhere more evident than in their work with our annual Auction. The Auction is a stupendous production by any mea­ sure, and its success is a tribute to our volunteers’ organization and vision. Trustees, too, deserve mention for their generosity and their vision in ensuring the School has an endow­ ment big enough to provide a suffi­ cient financial base to serve OES well into die future. And a special mention goes to John Lauerman and his team of professionals in our development office who guided our development efforts through the year and have mapped clearly our needs and strate­ gies for the future. Finally, I would be remiss if I failed to mention the many donors whose generosity has been the key to achieving our critical fund raising goals. This year was a “trial run” for our new Middle School building, and I am pleased to report that it has surpassed all our expectations. It is simply a marvelous building in which our fac­ ulty can now cany out their essential work as educators, freed from the many restraints with which they had to live in the past. And as we begin the 1997/98 school year, I am confi­ dent that the renovated Bishop Dagwell Hall will bring a new energy and vitality to the School’s curriculum in the arts. To all of the donors who made these two new buildings possi­ ble, it is my very great pleasure to say “thank you” once again. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the volunteers who dedi­ cated their time to the School’s vari­ ous fundraising efforts. Liza Lilley ‘74 is to be commended for her gallant efforts heading up the 1996-97 OES Fund volunteers, raising more than $357,000 toward our operating ex­ penses. Judy Jensen and her corps of volunteers set the stage for the “Lights! Camera! Auction!", securing $130,000 to be used for faculty and staff devel­ opment and the construction of a cover for the sport court behind the new Middle School building. Other thanks are due to two individu­ als who have spent the past few years devoting their time to leading the OES community. John von Schlegell step­ ped down this summer as President of the Board of Trustees, after serving with energy, creativity, and much good humor for two years. I owe a special thanks to John for his many efforts to ensure a smooth transition as my family and I began our new lives as part of the OES community last year. Wayne Drinkward has taken over the helm, and has already begun to address the challenges the job of Board President entails. Additional thanks go to Jack McCann. Jr. ‘84 whose term as President of the Alumni Association ended in June. His commitment not only to OES alumni, but also to the St. Helens Hall, Junior College, and Bishop Dagwell Hall alumni was far-reaching. Jack’s strong leadership and affection for OES provided a vision for the Alumni Association, and allows the new President, Max Miller ‘74, to easily step into place. My first year at OES has been a won­ derful adventure, and I feel honored to be in the company of a superbly talented group of educators and pro­ fessionals. I look forward with great excitement to what lies ahead, and to working with the entire community in carrying out OES’s marvelous mission as a nurturer and shaper of the “citi­ zens for good” who will lead us into the next century. Sincerely, Charles K. Bergman Headmaster THE MUSTARD SEED 18 X �REPORT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD Dear Family and Friends of OES: OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Board of Trustees 1996-97 TT f you serve long enough in a | volunteer capacity at a school JL like OES, it is possible to discern trends and a little of where we are on the continuum of the School’s 128 year history. Those of you who donate your time, money, and loyalty to OES are links in a chain—a chain that grows longer and stronger each year. Certain "links” in our chain need to be acknowledged in particular: Suzie Gundle, who headed Common Link; Liza Lilley 74, OES Fund Chair; Judy Jensen, who ran our fantastic auction; and Jack McCann ‘84, who represent­ ed the longest segment of our history as Alumni President. New volunteers will lake their places, each adding their own style to the job, doing their part, continuing the trend. I have been fortunate to serve as Board President with a Board of T Trustees which is excellent and getting better every year. In particular, H I’d personally like to thank Wayne Drinkward (my successor), Chris Kitchel, Sheryl Acheson, Bishop JJ Ladehoff, and Elisabeth Lyon (my predecessor). These trustees, and many others, kept me on course. This has not always been easy! The Rt. Rev. Robert Ladehoff, Chairman of the Board Mr. John E. von Schlegell, President Ms. Sheryl Acheson, Vice President Mr. Wayne Drinkward, Treasurer Ms. Christine Kitchel, Secretary It is an exciting new era at OES. We have all of you who support our school, year in and year out, to thank. This Mustard Seed is— again—dedicated to you.

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

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

Currently the Director and Senior Latin Banking Analyst at USB Securities, a subsidiary of the Union Bank of Switzerland, Brent states that “no one wakes up one day wanting to be a banking ana­ lyst." However, “with the emergence of free markets and democracy, and elected officials realizing the key to election is economic develop­ ment. most democratic governments embrace foreign capital which typically creates job growth. At die center of this economic activity is banking.” and grow. At any given time, some­ where there is a banking crisis." It is through studying the history7 of the United States’ banking crisis of 1950, the modernization of U.S. banking in die 1970s, and the moni­ toring of other countries' banking systems that he is uniquely prepared to analyze Latin American banking in the 1990s. order to efficiently and safely circulate currency. “Prior to our generation, banks required an air of solidity—huge pillars with marble and vaults. Now it's more about convenience: plastic, access cards to cash and financing." AUTUMN 19 9 7 Although he is graduate of Lawrence University of Wisconsin with a degree in Biology7 and received an MBA from New York University Graduate School of Business, some of his most important learning occurred at Oregon Episcopal School. “At OES, I was taught how to apply7 problem sets and look for differences and similarities. This is a skill I use every7 day." The School also provided Brent with other learning points. “Thanks to the dorm masters. I learned the essential escape and invasion technique, and how to light a cigarette in a rain storm at night without revealing my position.” Today Brent continues to be a student, studying Spanish, which he describes as the language of economics. Brent and his w’ife Nina have three children, Pearce, Hunter, and Esme. They look forward to hosting the New York Alumni Reception at their home in February.

She gave the following speech. This little talk was written many years ago for the Parent's Club ofSt. Helens Hall, so it s somewhat dated, at least the start of it is. The rest of it is just as true now as it was then. When Gertrude Faris (she was the Head Mistress at that time) asked me to speak tonight. I said, “You mean three minutes?" And she said, “Oh no—twenty." I told her I was strictly a three minute speaker, but I would try to stretch it to 3 1/2 minutes. I did take a public speaking class when we were living in Washington, DC. but if the professor from the University of Maryland could see me now. reading my speech. 1 would have flunked the course. Lady Bird Johnson was in my class of 25 for a period of 12 weeks. I guess she was learning how to make a speech as the wife of the President of the United Stales, and I was learning how to make a three and a half minute speech to the Parent s Club of St. Helens Hall. Lady Bird 's name was great to drop in 1966- rather passe in 1997. Gertrude Faris suggested that I say something about what St. Helens Hall meant to me. I should amend that statement and say what St. Helens Hall still means to me. i To go back a few years, more than I like to think about, my modier took a look at her long-legged, tom-boy daughter who did not like to study, and said to herself, “What that girl needs is more couth.” OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL So mother made a date with Sister Superior and we arrived at the por­ tals of the “Hall,” me with fear and trepidation. We were ushered into the beautiful parlor, and Sister Superior was so charming that I relaxed completely to the extent that when she said something nice about my lady-like, English-born mother, I said, “Oh yes, my mother is a good sport!" Well, that was the beginning, albeit, not much of one. However, when we told her I was Episcopal­ ian. she said, “Oh, one of our very own girls." One of the stained glass windows is in the chapel on the campus, as is the large bell that came around the Hom and rings for Oregon Episcopal School. Woe to the girl who giggled in chapel when Sister Katherine Angela s long fingers were coaxing music out of the wheezy old organ. I'm sure all alumnae will remember the motto that hung over the proc­ tor's desk in the study, all done in large old English printing “Dare to be true, nothing can need a lie, the fault that needs it most grows two thereby.” Gertrude was Miss Houk then, and only a few years older than I She drilled English into my head so that I can still remember about nomina­ tive and objective cases. She also taught Art History, and to this day, I can probably still name a Doric, Ionic, or Corinthian column. The teachers did the academics, and then there was the body building department. There were horseback rides at Nicol's Riding Academy, where the campus is now located, and the one tennis court. One of my proudest moments was when Sister Superior presented me with a little silver cup for winning a tennis match. The silver peeled off after a couple of years, but 1 still cherish it. The mainstay for the body beautiful was the basketball court. You played basketball, or else! It was an open shed with just a roof and no sides. Believe me, you kept moving to keep warm. Well, I fancied myself quite a player, always “center” because I was so tall. This was just before bobby socks and shorts; we wore those awful lisle hose dial bagged at the knees and ankles, and large bloomers. A few years ago, my husband pul up a basketball hoop for our daugh­ ter and three sons. I was the first one out saying, “Now, this is how you do it, children," shooting for the basket, and feeling pretty smug. About that time, my husband came out and said, “Look out boys, here comes one of St. Helens Hall's origi­ nal bloomer girls." Believe me that took the starch right out of my bloo-I mean middy blouse. The spiritual, ethical, and moral departments were in the delicate hands of, as my father used to call them, the “little sisters." They saw we were all blue veiled and lined up for worship every morning. Their ambiance permeated the atmosphere of the quiet, peaceful chapel, from the kneeling benches to the red sanctuary light that mesmerized me. 50 ▲ Muriel Gabriel Heltzel ‘30 speaks about her experiences at St. Helens Hall during the 1997 Reunion Weekend Luncheon. 1 wonder how many St. Helens Hall girls have turned out to be tireless workers in their churches. I am sure it can be traced to early training by the Sisters and for the force of good it represents in the community. Well, the teachers and the Sisters brain-washed, molded, scolded, educated, loved, and understood us, and in a few years’ time, a reason­ able facsimile of what young ladies should be marched up the aisle of Trinity Church to the tune of “Ancient of Days.” We were in our white robes and mortar boards, clasping large bouquets. The school's motto was, “that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.’’ They had polished the corners the best they could with the material they had, and it was up to us to build our lives on the foundation they had given us. �1950 Class Notes 1930 In a note sent earlier this year, Dorothy Durgan Thomas ‘35 JC writes that she and her husband, Marion Thomas, have been married since 1937, the same year they both graduated from Oregon Stale Uni­ versity.

(They were born on the same day!) The reunion weekend is always dif­ ficult for me because it falls on the weekend before our school lets out and there is always a lot of prepara­ tion for those good-bye events at school. I’d love letters or calls to hear how you are doing and what you all did at the reunion. [For Rebecca’s address, please con­ tact the Alumni Office.1 Currently.

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

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