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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That invasion often proves to be an education for the whole family. In Mack’s case, his mother was expecting someone with more refined taste than her own brood, someone who would delight her with his suave and witty repartee. To his mother’s dismay, Mack reported, “He was as flagrantly male as any American.” ■ 'See You In Guadalajara7 Mexican city becomes a magnet for OES students and their families.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It is fun to see the OES connections stretch and it really is a small world. I consider myself to be blessed with good fortune. Andreas Strotmann ’79 I finally finished my dissertation in Computer Science at Florida State University this month (April 2003). This concludes a 10-year project, the final four years of which I spent in Tallahassee, Florida.

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

He teaches the following courses: : Hinduism, Philosophy of Religion, Buddhism, and Religion and the Natural World. This image is from a Tibetan Thangka created by Cathy Walitzki '03. A Thangka is a Tibetan banner that is hung in a monastery or a family altar and carried by lamas in ceremonial processions. Thangkas are frequently the center of Buddhist religious ceremonies. i j "Y a yithin 361 years after the death of Jesus, Christianity j \/\ / became the official religion of the Roman Empire. V V Within 100 years after the death of Mohammad, Islam had spread east to India and west through Spain. In less than an I hour on Sept. 11, 2001, many Americans realized that religion I plays an important role in the world and that they were woefully ignorant about what other people believe. Knowing about the history of religious thought and practice around the world could put today’s international situation in per­ spective. But nearly all American secondary schools ignore religion on the grounds that teaching religion is equal to proselytizing, which all too often has been true. OES is a remarkable exception. “We’re in such a unique position because we have the power of a college in what we can teach,” says Jordan Elliott ’97, who teaches Islam in the OES Upper School. “We can talk about reli­ gion in ways that public schools can’t. An independent school is really the only place in secondary education that you can take this sort of class.” For the past decade, the Department of Philosophy and Religion has offered semester courses in each of the world’s five major religions as well as thematic courses that draw from all of them. Students study the history and culture of each religion, and they examine the beliefs and schools of thought by reading the sacred texts in translation. They try to get a glimpse of life as seen through the eyes of practitioners of a major faith so they can begin to get an idea what such terms as “belief,” “God,” and “reli­ gion” mean to those adherents. Students in the Upper School are required to take two religion courses, and they tend to approach that requirement with indif­ ference until they experience a religion class. Students become very excited by the ideas they encounter and the openness with which they can discuss them. Although they may have learned about one religion through personal experience and may have discussed religious views with friends, in their religion class the topic is out in the open and subject to the same scholarly approach that is expected in other classes. The result is invigorating. I think you re afraid to talk about these things outside of the classroom for fear of insulting people sometimes,” said senior : Peter Farago, who is currently taking his fourth religion course. “When you’re talking about it in class, there’s an acknowledgement that you’re not speaking from a personal level so much as from a scholarly one, and people are much more willing to voice their opinions.” Students are, of course, expected to back their opinions up with evidence, but the evidence may be more elusive than in their other classes. A recent topic in a class on Buddhism: Does the Buddha believe in the existence of Self? One student cites a sutra that indicates he does, and another brings up a different sutra that implies he doesn’t. Well, did anybody ever ask the Buddha directly? Yes. The Buddha answered with a resounding silence. What do we make of that? In their struggle to understand this important facet of Buddhist thought, they find useful the concept of conventional versus uni­ versal truth. Perhaps Buddha needed to use the convention of a self when talking with a person with very limited understanding, but when addressing an enlightened person he could discard the convention. Or perhaps his followers later changed the philoso­ phy. That brings up another question: Is a religion bound to the pronouncements of a founder or can it evolve? And if it evolves, which is more valid, the founder’s path or the current practice? In such a milieu, questions are more common than answers, and the answers are seldom black and white. Assessing the valid­ ity of sources of information becomes critical. In the Hinduism class, the students work from a text, but they must consider that the author of the text is giving an interpretation. To deepen their understanding of a concept, they check a footnote with a refer­ ence to an earlier source. They go to the bibliography to find out more about the earlier source, then discuss what kind of agenda the author of the original text might have had and what validity the text is given by other commentators. They trace the idea back through history until the thread vanishes in the mists of antiquity from which Hinduism itself arose. Seldom are comparisons made between major religions. In the class on Islam, for instance, the philosophical differences between the Shi’ites and the Sunnis merit in-depth study, but parallels are seldom drawn between Islam and Christianity. Studying each religion by itself rather in comparison with others is a conscious aim of the program, says Terry Hansen, who has chaired the Department of Philosophy and Religion since its inception in 1992. “I think what tends to happen in a comparative religion course is the similarities get accentuated and the differences get glossed over,” he said. “If we are going to be true to the field, the differ­ ences need to be acknowledged and celebrated. I think the western bias in the past has put us in a mode of doing compar­ isons in which we tend to see everything as a kind of variation on Christianity.” That willingness to go in-depth on all the major religions, seeing them in their own terms and studying their sacred texts and practices, is what sets the OES program apart from almost all other secondary school religious studies programs in the United States. In independent schools with no links to established churches, world religions are lumped together into one course, or in a few instances into separate courses on Eastern and Western religions. The acknowledgement of the importance of studying religion is lacking. Meanwhile, many independent schools with links to churches either ignore the other major religions or view them through the lens of their own religious bias. The study of various religions can flourish at OES because of Continued on next page 4 OES SPRING 2003 OES SPRING 2003 5 �______________ hard, but you learn so much from doing that.” Marina believes a scientific rationale underlies events, which made it difficult for her to accept the idea of divine inter­ vention, but she was willing to examine the idea. “Over the course of last semester, we found a compatible way to work that out. We came to agree that it’s a little bit of both,” said Marina. “I now have a better idea of why other people hold their opinions.” Neither student changed her basic outlook, but both grew in their under­ standing of themselves and others. “Thinking about other forms of reli­ gion has not diminished my own beliefs but has broadened them,” said Jocelyn. The heated debate they engaged in would not have occurred outside of class, they both agreed, and it whetted their desire for more knowledge about reli­ gion. Jocelyn says she wished she had The Rev.

He grad­ uated from OES in 1997 and was the first student who ever took four religion courses here. He was chosen for the Religion and Philosophy Department award, and his deep interest in the subject led him to major in religion at Colorado College. The major included an experiential element in which students observed and participated in religious practice, for which he spent four months practicing Tibetan Buddhism. He would like to augment his OES courses with observations of services at local churches, temples, and mosques so students get an idea how the religions they study manifest in the real world. He says globalization and the world political situation make knowledge about world religions essential. “There’s a natural synthesis happening now because we have encounters with other traditions, so we have to be accepting of them in terms of understanding,” he said. Terry believes that possessing information about religions of the world is a fundamental part of being an educated person, and he notes that parents have sued public school systems for failing to teach religious studies. He believes the day is not far off when public schools will realize the importance of teaching about world religions. “The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was never meant to prohibit teaching about religions of the world,” he said. “I think we will see more movement in this country to honor the teaching of religious studies in public schools.” When that day comes, a model for a scholarly approach to religion can be found here at OES. ■ THE ‘E’ IN OES i The following excerpts are taken from a docu­ ment titled The ‘E’ in OES, which explains the relationship of the school to the Episcopal Church. They were chosen to illustrate the tradi­ tions that make the Upper School a hospitable place for unbiased study of world religions. “OES is a place which values the diversity of its community, and the Anglican spirit of inclu­ sion, respect, and love... “People of many faiths find a comfortable home at Oregon Episcopal School. Many world religions are represented in our community including Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism.... “Individuals and their faiths are respected at OES, as are all paths to God. Members of all faiths are invited and encouraged to share their traditions.... "Accepting truth and reason as gifts from God, the Episcopal Church looks at science as one of the ways we can come to understand the wonders of God's creation.... "Students are required in Middle School and Upper School to take religion classes in which they study the world faiths. These classes are academic and do not proselytize.... “Scripture, tradition and reason all bear equal weight in the Episcopal experience. The impor­ tance of reason, thinking and questioning, are what help to make an Episcopal school the pow­ erful learning environment we find at OES.... “Grounded in the belief that ‘Where love is, there is God,’ OES celebrates the religious diversity within its community....” L_£-r_. • Jordan Elliott ’97 has a B.A. In Religion from Colorado College.

The new building will make a huge dent in the prep time for me.” Besides the additional space, the building will have state-ofthe-art safety and ventilation equipment. It also will be wired for efficient use of electronic teaching aids and computers. Math and science offices will be located near the classrooms, and the science office will have windows to the research lab so faculty can keep an eye on student projects while doing their own work. The facilities will also include a computer lab, a math and science library, and a meeting room. The building will have a permanent setup for studies involving gravity, a separate greenhouse, and a raised walkway for study­ ing the canopy in the adjacent forest. When finished, the building will be eligible for designation as a “Green Building” by Portland General Electric because, among other factors, it will exceed the requirements of the Oregon Energy Code by 20 percent. It is being constructed with nontoxic materials, and runoff from the roof will be directed to a swale to avoid negative impacts on Fanno Creek. Construction of the MST Building will be finished in time for classes to begin in the fall. Then the School can continue the first phase of campus improvements with renovation of the Upper School and increasing the endowment for financial aid and faculty salaries. Future phases include a performing arts building and reorienting walkways and roads to make the campus more pedestrian-friendly. The Math, Science, and Technology Building, which is under construction behind the Upper School, will be finished in time for classes in the fall. Fund-raising for the building is 80 percent complete, and a campaign to raise the remainder is being launched. OES Kicks Off Public Phase of Capital Campaign celebration and informational event on Sunday, April 27, will provide activities for children while adults take tours f the unfinished Math, Science, and Technology Building and learn what comes next in funding and further improvements to the campus. Children’s activities will include inflatable structures, face painting, temporary tattoos, popcorn and cotton candy, acting workshops, and other activities. While the kids play, adults can look at the building and hear how it will impact students. As the new building rises in the southeast corner of campus, the tally of funds raised to pay for it is also rising. The school is pursuing a pay-as-you-go policy on funding campus improvements, and about 80 percent of the cost of the building has already been covered by major donors. The school is launching the public phase of the campaign in which all parents, alumni parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends will be asked to participate. After the April 27 kickoff, all parents will be contacted by A: 8 mail and phone to solicit their help with completing the project. Alumni and past parents will be solicited throughout the late summer and fall. The new building will allow generations of students to do laboratory work safely and to learn with current technology. It will maximize the efficiency of teachers and students by providing space for science projects and demonstrations where they won’t have to be dismantled and reconstructed repeatedly. I spend 90 minutes setting up a demonstration on the front table, and the students who sit at that table have to crowd together with students at other tables,” said physics instructor Bill Lamb. I have to take it down right after that class even though I will use that setup again the next day because other classes have to use that table for something else. In the new building, we will have enough space in each classroom for students to sit at their work tables, and for lab setup in the other half of the room, and OES SPRING 2003 I Ifyou are interested in learning more about our building plans, naming opportunities, or how you can make a gift to help complete the new Math, Science, and Technology Building, contact John Lauerman, Director of Development, at 503-768-3156 or by email at lauermanj@oes.edu. m OES Senior Named Second in Nation OES student Tianhui (Michael) Li 503 placed second nationally in the Intel Science Talent Search (STS), America’s oldest and most prestigious science competi­ tion. Michael will receive a $75,000 scholarship for his achievement. His physics project is based on his three-year study of inertial-electrostatic confine­ ment, a radically different and significantly less expensive way of controlling nuclear fusion than con­ ventional methods. Other projects among this year’s top 10 winners include identifying factors that con­ tribute to the increase in cockroach allergy-induced asthma observed in inner city areas and a study that discovered a previously unidentified plateau on Venus that could lead to better understanding of the planet’s formation. Intel STS winners were selected based on their research ability, scientific originality, creative thinking and ability to apply science to the world around them. Besides his work in science, Michael is an accom­ plished pianist who has performed with the Portland Symphony Orchestra.

That’s what makes the climbing wall at OES such a compelling way to gain selfconfidence. Each step is a success. “I feel like I’ve accomplished something,” said eighth-grader Kasey Grewe after climb­ ing the wall. “You don’t get to do something like this every day.” She and her classmates recently worked on the climbing wall in the OES gymnasium during PE class for two weeks. They learned how to use a climbing harness, ropes, carabiners and a belaying device, how to tie a figure-eight knot on a bight, how to belay, how to climb safely, and how to work as a team. On a deeper level, they learned how to confront and conquer their own fear. “It teaches them to trust themselves and to step out of their comfort zone and try something new,” said outdoor programs specialist Tom Handel, who instructs the students. “For a lot of them, getting up high creates fear and angst and gives them the chance to approach that and break through it. That gives them self-confidence and builds their self-esteem.” The students arrive with a range of climb­ ing experience. Some are novices, while others have climbed walls in summer camps or gyms. A few have even gone on rock climbing expeditions with family members or guide services. They also bring differing physical abilities to bear, but regardless of “I was kind of nervous, but it was really fun,” said Sarah Haas after completing a swing. “You have to go for it. You can’t really think about it. It’s like making friends or going to another school. You have to take opportunities without letting your fear get in the way.” Tom says the gear and precautions that are taken make the climbing wall an extremely safe activity. Safety will also be emphasized during the other part of the Adventure Program, which involves the Challenge Course in the OES woods. Students will use some of their climbing skills to complete tasks that involve com­ munication, leadership, planning, responsibility, respect, and sensitivity. When they get to the Upper School, the students will be able to put their skills to use on a rock-climbing trip such as the trip to Smith Rock that some US students took this month. Their teamwork and leadership will be instrumental in other areas of the experiential learning program including the sophomore backpacking trip, the senior trip, Winterim trips, and weekend trips. For some, climbing may become a lifelong activity. “It’s just a whole new avenue for recre­ ation and physical activity,” Tom said. “It’s not a team sport, and there’s plenty of skill to build on and plenty of challenge. There’s plenty of climbing in gyms and on rock in the area, so it’s a nice introduction to that whole field.” ■ their background or abilities, they can expe­ rience success on the wall. “Every single student got on the wall,” Tom said. “Not every one made it to the top, but it still gave them a sense of adven­ ture. They didn’t feel let down by not going to the top because they were nervous about getting on the wall in the first place so the fact that they went up halfway really gave them a sense of‘Wow, I can do this.’” Students spend a week of PE classes climbing the wall as fifth-graders and another week when they are in the seventhgrade. During those experiences, the instructors are holding the belay rope, but in eighth grade the students are on belay for each other. Four students hold onto the rope to make sure the climber doesn’t pull the first person off the floor. “There’s definitely a sense of camaraderie and teamwork I notice in terms of the people on the ground and the people belay­ ing cheering their friends on,” Tom said. “It is really intense and strong when the climber is really fearful. A lot of the OES students really rally behind and encourage the climber to go a step further when they are nervous and having a difficult time.” Students can choose to grapple with an even higher level of fear by using the Giant Swing. They climb to the top of the wall and sit on a tiny platform. Then they attach their harness to the swing and jump off. They briefly free-fall before the rope swings them out over the wooden gym floor. . «.! - .... \ ■ F7___ i ■ . ' :i n 7J- - mh .

The juried show at George Fox University accepted 35 artworks out of 125 entries from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Kate Murphy took first place for a watercolor pencil portrait (see maga­ zine cover), Cathy Walitzki took second place for her Buddhist Thangka painting (see Page 4), and Leavy Huh took third place for an acrylic painting of the skyline of Seoul, South Korea (see back cover of maga­ zine). An acrylic portrait by Lia Kim was accepted into the show. The four students have studied with Jack O’Brien, who encouraged them to submit their work to the show. He doesn’t often urge students to enter art contests because he doesn’t want to tailor the curriculum to the contests, but this show permitted them to submit work in a variety of styles that had already been completed. “I was really pleased to see them lake the top three positions,” he said. “Our goal is to show students that art is enjoyable, worth practicing and worth studying.” Cash awards were presented to the three winners. This year’s All School Play opened to critical acclaim, but by the time it ended, the critics were all dead. The all-star cast of faculty and students presented the cliche-ridden masterpiece in a stunning coup de maitre marred only by the lifeless performance of David Goodman-Farley. Student stars were the sultry Cathy Walitzki ’03 as Cynthia, the enigmatic Eric Morgan ’03 as Magnus, and the rakish Ryan Goodwin ’03 as Simon. Faculty and staff actors were the bouncy Nancy Pickering ’97 as Felicity, the beautifully bumbling Ann von Ofenheim as Inspector Hound, the vol­ canic David Levine as Birdboot, and the scheming Peter Langley affecting an unconvincing British accent as Moon. The imperturbable Debby Schauffler tied it all together as the housekeeper, Mrs. Drudge. The show was directed by the impish David Gomes, assisted by the unflappable Julia Baldwin ’03. An excellent time was had by all who survived. ) i ■ ■ ■ Jan Eliot Provides Laughs and Lessons Imitation is not just the highest form of flattery, it’s also a great way to learn. Imitating cartoonists she admired provided Jan Eliot with a way to learn her art. Her cartoon strip, titled Stone Soup, is now syndicated by 140 newspapers. On a recent visit to OES, Eliot used an overhead projector to show stu­ dents from the Lower and Middle School how she goes about drawing a cartoon. She demonstrated how they can begin with a stick figure and then expand it. Sometimes she doodles until an idea comes to her, but usually she comes up with an idea before she begins to draw. Those ideas come from her own family, from her visits with children, or from readers of her comic strip. “My kids did so many funny and aggravating things that I had to write about it,” she said. Eliot believes that tragedy plus time equals comedy, and in a meeting with OES parents, she told them to share the heartbreaks of family life along with the good times. Both will someday provide cherished memories. For her, those cherished memories have been expressed in about 2,500 comic strips, but she never runs out of ideas, and she never tires of what she does. “I really love that I get to make people laugh, she told the students. □ □ □ Sixth-Graders Make Link to Kenya Avery Johnson 'll, from a Lower School class that participated in the event, and Torben Noto '09 try on traditional clothing from Kenya.

Students tried on kangas and other pieces of traditional clothing, and they played instruments made by Africans. A slide show provided insights on the geography and culture of the country. Each sLxth-grader has written a letter to a pen pal in the village of Ekwanda, and other forms of interaction will be explored in the future. “The goal is to have a long­ term relationship,” said math teacher David Levine. “I know what a moving experience it is to visit places like Kenya, and I want to be able to share that with this community. It provides possibilities for learning for both Ekwanda and OES.” David said that several years ago OES provided books for the children of the Kenyan village, and he chanced upon a plaque honoring that contribution when he visited the school in Ekwanda two years ago while leading a trip through Global Routes, an international travel organization. □ ■ □ □ □ ■ Science Bowl Team Wins Regional Contest Mock Trial Team Wins Regional Contest Two OES teams gave stellar performances in the regional Science Bowl competition, with one of the teams taking the regional title and progress­ ing to the national contest.

A heartfelt thanks goes out to all who helped organize the event or attended. Development Administrative Assistant Lynn Regelin shows the historical class photos that she has helped restore and preserve. Class Photos Saved For Posterity Working with painstaking detail, a member of the Development Office has arrested a stealthy intruder who was destroying the treasured photos of graduating classes from St. Helen’s Hall, Bishop Dagwell Hall, and Oregon Episcopal School. The culprit was none other than Time itself, which in its silent but persistent way was causing the photos to fade, yellow and turn to dust. Thanks to administrative assistant Lynn Regelin, the destruction has been postponed for at least 300 years. Racing against Time, Lynn removed the photos, cleaned them, remounted them, relabeled them, and oversaw the creation of archival negatives that last for centuries. Then the photo displays were covered with Mylar, sealed, and returned to the poster frames where they are displayed. The photo collections are available for perusal by alumni, students, faculty and visitors, and they are brought out for class reunions. “Rescuing these photographs was the first and most pressing step in preserving the archives of historical documents, photographs and objects,” Lynn said. The decision was made to preserve the photos on negatives because they are not so dependent on technology for retrieval. Putting them on a more modern medium such as CDs could be futile because CD players may not exist a century from now. However, the photos are also in the process of being put onto a disk for easier access. At some point in the future, alumni may be able to obtain digital copies of their graduation photos and i Raj Garg and Chris Palmedo ! i / ! J !' those of classmates. Fortunately, the class photos had been updated and maintained over the years by art teacher Sue Jensen, so Lynn had good material to work with.

People die all the time in this profession, and since the community is very small, if you’re not friends with that person, you know someone who is.” Life can be hard for the animals, too, and Amy is often in the position of having to help them out of their pain. Guns are the tool of choice for that difficult task, and she uses them regularly. “I didn’t grow up with guns and guns still do make me nervous, but down here they are very much a way of life for food, protection and mercy. I’ve had to shoot a lot of horses. I’ve had to put a lot of horses down if they broke their leg or if they’re old and can’t get around anymore, if they have a snakebite. It s the most humane way, it’s fast, it’s painless. It’s the hardest thing I ve had to do ever. And I’ve had to put down quite a few. The same thing with your dog. Amy coaches Couper Moorhead '05 as he ties up a calf he has roped during “cowboy school." She also taught the students to repair fences, stack hay, herd longhorns on horseback, and cut calves from the herd. I i r i r ! ! Working with horses is the part of her job Amy likes best. She was involve with horses as a girl, and after spending a number of years focusing on soccer, she returned to horse training. She starts with untamed horses and “They push the steers into a chute and there’s one person on one side and one person on the other. When the chute opens, the person on the left ropes the head of the steer and the person on the right ropes the back legs. Basically what they’ve done is they’ve taken what we do at work for brandin’ and doctorin’ and made a sport out of it. “They have the rodeos that you all see on TV, with the bull ridin’ and the bronc ridin’ and all that. Then they have the Ranch Rodeos, which are everything you would do on a ranch made into a sport. I do the Ranch Rodeo. It’s basically just a lot of good old boys and gals going out there and having fun.” She also occasionally attends the more spectator-oriented rodeos, and she sang “America the Beautiful” at the World Champion Quarterhorse Cutting Finals.

They learned ballroom m I . ■ A i dances such as the waltz, foxtrot and tango, which prepared them for the frequent formal dances. jj Missing courses... Norma needed physics and trigonometry to apply for college, and those courses were not offered at the Hall. She managed to complete the courses by taking summer classes at Lincoln High School and Clark College. Sneaking out... After the dorm parents went to bed, girls sometimes sneaked out of the dorm by climbing out a window and then climbing down to the ground using protruding bricks on the wall. Once they were outside, they would talk, and once they sat atop the statue of Teddy Roosevelt and his horse that was near the school. A favorite teacher... Her history teacher was Miss McCurdy, and they studied the conflicts between the Israelis and Arabs. She wishes Miss McCurdy were alive today because she would like to hear her views on recent events in the Middle East Episcopal Nativity Network school in North Attleboro, Mass.

You had to speak to the maids in French, so if you wanted something to eat you needed to learn how to speak in French." Hawaiian flair at dances ... "The dances during this period were very elegant. We would have these dances with the Hill Military School. This was the boys’ school in town. Because there were so few girls we would actually have our dances with Catlin as well. It was a girl’s school at this time as well. One of my classmates had a father who owned several hotels in Hawaii. Before the dance he would fly in leis for all the participants."

Students from different backgrounds must feel that they are welcome and that their culture is respected. Recruiting faculty from diverse backgrounds makes a school more welcoming, but the South Africans said that task is difficult because during the apartheid era black teachers did not receive the level of training that white teachers received. Some schools have instituted their own training programs, but as in the United States, well-educated people of color often are lured away by more lucrative pursuits than teaching. Rosa and others on the Diversity Committee created by the OES Board of Trustees have worked on that same challenge. While no targets or quotas are used, the heads of the Upper, Middle and Lower Schools actively seek faculty from a variety of backgrounds. Another element the delegates identified as important in creat­ ing a welcoming environment for all students is achieving a “critical mass” of different cultural, ethnic and racial groups so students don’t feel alone in an alien place, but can share their thoughts and feelings with others from similar backgrounds. The educators saw an example of that on their trip when they visited Sacred Heart School in Johannesburg, where about half the stu­ dents are white and half are black or “coloured,” a South African term for people of mixed race or non white people who have immigrated from India and other Asian countries. The students at Sacred Heart told Rosa that they not only attend classes with students of different races, they also socialize together and estab­ lish friendships. While having a critical mass of students of different races is important to the quality of the interaction at Sacred Heart, Rosa also saw the importance of historical factors. Sacred Heart was in the forefront of schools that challenged apartheid by enrolling nonwhite students, and the students expressed pride at attending a school that was in the forefront of the changes in their nation. The students Rosa met in the poor schools of South Africa do Continued on next page TICKET TO BANGKOK Six Thai students provide travel tips to family : ' I -v : i The Boorse family is headed to Thailand soon, but they aren’t waiting until they step off the plane to begin learning about Thai culture. They have already had an immersion experience right in their own home. It happened like this. They were planning a trip to the Asian country for the Christmas holidays, and they read in the OES Action newsletter that international students from the Upper School often appreciate an invitation to visit with an American family. So Dawn Boorse called Moneeka Settles, who oversees that boarding program. “Does OES have any students from Thailand and would a couple of them like to come to dinner?" she asked. Moneeka checked with the students and promptly responded, yes, they would like to go to the Boorse home for dinner — all six of them! And is there a particular American food they would like to sample? No, they agreed, they would really love to have Thai food. So Howard Boorse whipped up a Thai dish - which received rave reviews - and they supplemented it with Thai takeout. An international soiree ensued. "They were a little shy, of course," said Dawn, “but we had maps of their country and books about their country and asked them to tell us things they liked about their country and what they thought we should see.” The students told them which temples they should visit, and which would not be worth their effort. They told them where they could ride elephants. They warned them about how crowded the cities are, and one student told them about his visit to the island of Phuket, where the Boorses plan to go. The international and multicultural aspects of OES were part of what attracted the Boorses to the school. They want their Six international students from Thailand visit with the Boorse family.

Even though the international students were much older than Andrea, they got along well. “One of the students wrote my daughter’s name out in Thai characters and she really thought that was great,” Dawn said. The students from Thailand apparently enjoyed themselves-as well. As they were leaving, a freshman girl told Dawn that it was the first time she had ever been in an American home. “I offered if they ever wanted to come over again, they are welcome," Dawn said. “It was really a good experience." ■ OES AUTUMN 2002 5 �THE CHEMISTRY OF CULTURE continued from previous page not have many of the opportunities that are taken for granted here, but they tenaciously grasp any chance for education that arises. Rosa talked with students whose families spent all their extra money just to buy a uniform so they could attend school. Aware of that sacrifice, the students were striving to learn every­ thing they possibly could. She visited a high school called Prestige College where the science program had one computer and a single probe for inputting data, and she couldn’t help but compare it to OES where dozens of probes make it possible for all the students to use them to conduct experiments. She thought Prestige College seemed poor. But then she visited the Ikaneng School in Soweto, where she learned that the school has no eighth grade because it has no money to pay a teacher. The school was trying to organize a library so that after finishing seventh grade, students could have a place to study on their own for a year before entering the ninth grade at a high school. Rosa knew that some of the South African students she talked with would never go to high school. Those who did go to high school might not be able to afford to continue through graduation, much less attend a university. Nevertheless, they spoke with the conviction that they could improve their lives and help forge a democratic future for South Africa. ___ _____ prison where Nelson Mandela and other political prisoners were incarcerated before apartheid finally crumbled in the early 1990s. Her guide, a man who had been imprisoned at Robben Island for opposing apartheid, showed the delegates a sign that had been used at the prison to designate the amount of food to be given to each prisoner. The daily allocation of protein for blacks was less than the amount given to white prisoners. “The harshness of the prison really got to me,” Rosa said. “How can you see two people and not know that they need the same nourishment?” It was amazing to her that people emerging from such segrega­ tion and injustice seemed so willing to put the past behind them and work toward a better future. “It’s very touching to meet the children and see how hopeful they are even though there is extreme poverty; you don’t always see the same kind of hope regarding race issues in the United States that we saw there,” she said. “There’s a lack of resentment about the past. A lot of that has to do with the leadership Nelson Mandela and Bishop Tutu. I’m not a very political person, but it is interesting to see how a brand new democracy that guarantees rights tries to get those rights to all its people.” TOWARD THE FUTURE INJUSTICE AND FORGIVENESS The child of a Mexican mother and a Mexican-American father, Rosa has experienced the intermingling of cultures. She grew up in the diverse culture of San Antonio, Texas, and in her youth she encountered discrimination because she is Hispanic and because she is female. However, the virulence of the apartheid system shocked her. She visited the Robben Island Head of School Dulany Bennett chose to send a representative of OES to South Africa, and chose Rosa for that role, because Dulany recognizes the importance of a multicultural education. In discussing the path OES is charting into the future,she distin­ guishes between the terms “diversity” and “multicultural.” The former simply indicates racial composition, whereas “multicul­ tural” describes the educational environment. AT HOME IN THE WORLD Glenn Hawkins' friends have introduced him to Asian cultures s Glenn Hawkins '03 visits Matsuyama Castle on the Island of Shikoku with Akira Takahashi '02, left, and an acquaintance he met In Japan. 6 tepping across the Pacific Ocean brought Glenn Hawkins’ future into focus. He already knows what he will do next summer. He foresees where he will spend time abroad during college. He’s thinking about where he will someday seek a job. All those plans involve board­ ing an airplane for Japan. Glenn's six-week visit last summer with his friend Akira Takahashi ’02 fanned his smoldering interest in other cultures. And although Japan captured his imagination, he also wants to experience other Asian cultures. After he graduates from OES in June, he will take a trip that likely will OES AUTUMN 2002 include China, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Korea in addition to Japan. “I might make it into a gigantic Asian tour," he said, explaining that he would visit with friends in each of those coun­ tries. He has obtained a commitment for funding from his mother, and he crosses national borders as easily as most Americans cross state lines. Glenn came from Boise, Idaho, last year to attend OES as a boarding student, and the experience has given him a view over the western horizon to lands where people live, eat, and com­ municate differently from Americans. �1 “Diversity is more about numbers,” Dulany said. “Multiculturalism is more about the fabric, about welcoming, about integration, and about everyone’s experience and culture being equally valued. Multiculturalism means everybody is trying to learn about each other rather than asking international students or minority students to come and learn Anglo culture and not have an opportunity to share their own religious background, their own ethnic heritage and the histories of their countries.” Including a variety of cultures in the curriculum is important to a multicultural school, she said. OES focuses on the Western tradition because politically, economically and socially the United States has grown out of that tradition. However, in the religion department, in the ninth-grade humanities classes and in English classes, many other cultures are represented. That knowl­ edge of cultures is an essential part of a 21st century education. “Our kids are going to grow up and they are going to have to be savvy about international multiculturalism and within the U.S. because they are going to have to work with people of all kinds,” Dulany said. “They are going to have clients or partners... in whatever walk of life they end up in, they are going to have all these different interactions. Plus as citizens they are going to have to make important decisions about what kind of culture we are going to have. If they experience personal interactions with lots of different kinds of people, their experience is much richer and their wisdom is greater. If they think the whole world is like them, they are at a great disadvantage. They will have the oppor­ tunity to interact with whomever they want and will have the skills to do that. If you talk to any student who has had that opportunity, they’ll tell you how great it is to get to know people who are different from them.” ■ Ashleigh Blinkhorn '07 tutors a student from Vose Elementary School. AARDVARKS LEARN AS THEY TEACH OES students learn about other cultures as they tutor ESL students from Vose Elementary School, a public school in Beaverton in which 13 languages are spoken. The Vose students are predominantly Hispanic and are learning English as a second language. Students from OES tutor the students two afternoons a week, working one-on-one on their reading skills, in a program called AASK (Aardvarks Advocate Skills and Knowledge). During one year of participating in AASK, the Vose students average a two-year gain in reading skills, and both OES and Vose students gain from the cross-cultural interaction. i Living in the international culture of the dorms and going to school with people from many countries has stimulated his innate interest in the world. “If I hadn’t come to school here, met these friends, and gone to Japan, I think my idea of what I want to do in my life would be different," he said. "I'm happier having had this experience." Being in a foreign culture is not intimi­ dating for Glenn, and as a matter of fact it is more comfortable in some ways. He prefers Japanese food to American food, and he appreciates the way the Japanese treat one another. “Even though I didn't understand the language, I always felt comfortable there," he said. "People are more friendly there. It’s ingrained in their culture to be polite." He studied Japanese here for a year before going to Japan, which allowed him to communicate simple ideas in the language and gave him a base for learn­ ing more. He stayed for two weeks in the home of his friend Akira, and Akira’s mother spoke slowly so he could under­ stand her. As he and Akira traveled around the country, Akira translated for him some of the time, but at other times Glenn managed on his own. He is contin­ uing his study of the language so he can communicate better the next time he goes to Japan. He wants to become fluent enough that he understands not just the words but also the different style OES AUTUMN 2002 in which people communicate. “People are more reserved, and con­ versation is less to the point,” he said. “They say something and you’re sup­ posed to understand what they mean by inference. You have to learn the literal meaning of a phrase and also what to think when someone says this.” It helped Glenn to have Akira explain­ ing Japanese culture, and Glenn has become a translator himself for others, explaining America to his Asian friends. In the dorms, he conducts study sessions about American history. “They ask questions and I explain things to them,” he said. “By explaining it to them, I make sure I know myself what’s going on.” ■ i �• Primary Class Gives the Gift of Time Children learn and grow at their own pace instead of being hurried along Matthew Sipowicz, a student in this year's Primary class, enjoying an exciting game of kickball.

They are being given the who have strengths in some areas and developmental issues in 8 OES AUTUMN 2002 �I others,” Chris said. “The beauty of Primary is it has academic work in the morning and individualized reading, writing and playtime in the afternoon.” The room itself reflects that mixture of work and play, with desks at one end and a rug with a rocking chair at the other. The children effortlessly pass between the two parts of the room, in one moment engaged in an activity that seems like kindergarten, in the next moment doing a lesson on a first-grade level. They also get personal attention from the teacher in the afternoon. While classmates are playing or working individually, each child takes a turn sitting with Chris in the hallway. The student reads to her from a book or shows her a journal entry. It allows Chris to check how each student is doing. “Usually the main focus is reading,” she said. “I have children who are emergent readers to children who are reading on the third- and fourth-grade levels. It’s a huge span of skills, but because I have that one-on-one time I can take the child from wherever he or she may have been and move them along.” Attending to the needs of each child, which is a hallmark of OES, was the reason the Primary program was created. In the 1970s, educators began to take note of research showing that children develop at different rates, and that not all 6-year-olds are ready to sit at a desk for long stretches of reading and writing and math. The research explained why some bright children did not do well in class, and schools responded by moving up the cutoff date so children would turn six before they started first grade. That helped, but OES took an additional step. If some children are not ready for first grade, then why not create a level at which they can begin doing academic work but with more flexibility than first-grade classrooms generally permit? The Primary class was instituted in the 1973-74 school year to provide that flexibility. A thorough admissions process is designed to make sure each child is in an environment where he or she can succeed. The children are evaluated by teachers and specialists, who look at the academic, emotional, and social development of the child. If the student can benefit from more time to develop in one of those areas, then a year in the Primary class is recom­ mended. The decision is then discussed with the child’s parents, “It’s a hard concept for parents to grasp that children are being asked to use a huge array of skills to learn to read and to write and to under­ stand math concepts,” Chris said. “All of those things require a great orchestration of attention and memory. The children are being asked to delay gratification and to stay focused on something even if they are really not that interested.” Some children may have the requisite academic skills but need more time to develop emotionally so they will be able to apply those skills. Otherwise, their emotions may interfere with their learning. “They must be able to put aside the emotional pieces that are going on inside their heads and focus on something else,” Chris said. “We as adults have trouble doing that sometimes too, but children have way more of those things coming into play.” Boys are often advanced in gross motor skills but lag in fine motor skills, which are needed for writing. Some people believe boys simply mature more slowly than girls, but Chris believes that the activities boys are more likely to participate in can slow their development of writing. “Commonly boys come to Primary because the focus of their Continued on next page (Top) Benjamin Brisk and Alexandra Ulmer construct an elaborate structure for their dinosaurs.

OES AUTUMN 2002 9 �PRIMARY C LASS continued from previous page early years has been on fast, active play, and they haven’t taken up a pencil for writing or a drawing tool for drawing, and so their fine motor skills are not developed,” she said. “Also, the fast, active children aren’t keen on sitting for a long period of time.” Other children simply don’t develop an early interest in reading and writing because they are busy doing other things. If academic work is forced on them, they will dislike school, but if they come to it in their own time, they become interested. In Primary, instead of a heavy diet of academics, the children have an opportunity to do fun, enriching activities. They explore the forest habitat on campus and sometimes create theater produc­ tions. Chris is also developing a computer lab outside in the hallway, and her students do service learning projects with their fifth-grade buddy class. “Some children just really need more time to play,” Chris said. “When you give them more time to play, toward the middle or end of Primary they suddenly see all these children around them learning how to read, and they think, ‘Hey that looks like fun; I think I’ll stop playing now and I’ll learn how to read.’” ■ I Rosalind Sullivan-Lovett takes a break from afternoon playtime to enjoy a book with Primary teacher Chris O'Toole. Extra Year Pays Dividends Later w hen Kenny Gundle entered the Primary class, he didn’t think much about it. But as time goes on, he realizes more and more how that decision in 1988 helped him. "Some of my friends went to first grade and I didn’t; it was never something that was made a big deal, and that was great,” he said recently, speaking by phone from his dorm room at Stanford University, where he decided to go to school after Primary class. "I think that everyone has to proceed at their own pace, and almost regardless of whether you're a summer birthday or a during-the-year birthday, some r1 people might not be ready for First Grade at a specific age. It’s great to spend another year at that age letting yourself become ready for grade school," he said. He doesn’t remember feeling at all as if he Kenny Gundle in 1988 Kenny Gundle today graduating as a valedictorian of the OES Class of 2001. "Looking back at it now, I think it was a great decision." When Kenny's Kindergarten teacher told his parents, John and Susan Gundle, that Kenny should go into the Primary class, they were quite surprised. Susan explained their reaction: "He was extremely bright so we said, really? His teacher felt the added year would give him more advantage socially. She said she thought it was best, and we thought she knew best because she saw him in a classroom setting. She knows the kids and she knows the first-grade curriculum." Kenny’s birthday is in June, which means he would have been one of the younger children if he had entered the First Grade. He says he is glad he was allowed to grow up a little more in the 10 were repeating Kindergarten. “It’s not kindergarten all over again. I didn’t see any similarities between Kindergarten and Primary, and I didn’t see a lot of repeat in First Grade from Primary. It flowed very well,” he said. Of course, the year of Primary meant that he was one of the older children in his class in First Grade and thereafter. That allowed him to fit in better socially, and he says that later on he reaped a big reward from his elder status. "As soon as Middle School hit and people realized, ‘That kid is going to have a car his freshman year,’ it became a huge advan­ tage to be older," he said. And the benefits just keep accruing. Even in college he feels fortunate to have an extra year of maturity. "Overall it’s a great social advantage to be six months older than it is to be six months younger,” he said. ■ OES AUTUMN 2002 �■ CAMPUS ■ SNAPS ■ Middle Schoolers Tour Memorials A pilgrimage to 14 memorials and sacred spaces on the OES campus culminated with the blessing of the new Wetlands Mural on the west wall of the Middle School. For the “Sacred Path Chapel” service in October, MS students toured the sites, saying a prayer at each one. At the end, they converged on the new mural, which was created by students guided by a professional artist and encouraged by teacher Toni Holmberg. The mural was completed last summer and represents the community’s commitment to caring for the Earth through passion, study and hard work.

Pre-Kindergarten Goes Camping The adventurous Pre-Kindergarten class of Sherry Eder and Candelaria Davis went on an October “campout” in the OES forest. The children hiked to the woods, where parent volunteers had set up tents and built a fire. The children sang around the campfire, roasted marshmallows, made leaf rubbings and played games. Then they hiked back down to school, smelling of woodsmoke. Parents who helped out were Melanie Gilbert, Margie Nielsen, Bill Pavlich, Charles Nielsen, Dan Clark, Chih-Ching Chang, Ella Essieh, Atiq Bajwa, Adrienne Wilson, Kimberly Crouch and Keith Packard. ■ ■ ■ Great Gourds, What a Halloween! Lower School children brought their jack-o-lantems to school in late October for the annual Pumpkin Carving Celebration. Their creations reflected plenty of youthful imagination as well as some technical help from the parents. The jack-o-lantems were viewed by the judges, who ruled, as always, that everybody wins. Each child received a prize for his or her entry. Candelaria Davis helps Clara Collins roast a marshmallow during the pre-kindergarten campout in the OES woods.

Cousteau, whose father Jacques popularized oceanography, first gave a talk to a gather­ ing of all Middle School students. He told them a story about a boy who made it his life mission to bring wells to dry African villages. “Don’t ever give up,” he urged the students. “You can make a difference.” A number of students stood up and described aspects of their wetlands studies. Then Cousteau walked to the wetlands with Upper School chemistry students who are conducting experiments on water quality. They told the conservationist how they are using internationally accepted methods of documentation so their work will be useful to those who will make decisions about protecting the watershed.

It’s also very clear that Oregon Episcopal School is among the best of those schools. It was third in the nation in the number of semifinalists. Among Oregon schools, OES is the undisputed leader. Of the nine semifinalists from Oregon, eight were from OES. Those eight students, all seniors, are Henry Hirsch, Karl Kuchs, Tianhui (Michael) Li, Ashley Morganstem, Katherine Murphy, 12 Andrew Platt, Leslie Taylor, and Mariam Totonchy. Ashley and Leslie went on to become regional winners and are competing in Washington, D.C., this month. A school becomes a national leader when exceptional students work with exceptional faculty in an exceptional facility. OES has accomplished the feat with only two of those three ingredients, but the exceptional facility is on the way. Construction of the new Math, Science, and Technology Building is progressing according to schedule and will be complete in time for the beginning of classes next fall.

'» v n 2001 it was possible to return to Iran, and I revived the project that had long been dormant. I designed and led an archaeological tour in 2001, and this fall I led a revised version of that tour. In 2001 after the tour, I attended an international conference on the archaeology of southeast Iran. There were only four international archaeologists there, but there were at least 50 Iranian archaeologists and more than 500 students, all i hungry to begin the discussion about the ancient cultures of Iran after a period of about 20 years of neglect. My plans are to participate in and develop, to the degree possible, the kind of lively fascinating community of students and scholars who want to excavate and reconstruct the details of the life of those ancient people. Through these efforts we can, I believe, not only know more about them but also about humanity at large, how it solves problems, and how it works together.

Our two dogs aren’t so sure about not having the beach to run on, but they are adjusting! Hope to run into some fellow alumni downtown, at the mall... Julie Reid Douglas ’85 I am always anxiously awaiting the latest Belltower, as I love to read the alumni notes and hear about my classmates, and/or dorm-mates. I thought I should share some info too! I live in Nashville with my husband Scott and our two boys, Dylan (5 years) and Ethan (11 mos.). Greg Simon ’85 We recently transferred to the Seattle area where I am the district manager for an international logistics firm called Danzas AEI Intercontinental. Charmian and I are enjoying our 13th year of marriage. We have been blessed with two boys, Hayden, 4, and Chandler, 2. They keep us busy pretty much from sunup to sundown. was not good for me. However, I would love to hear what everyone in the Class of ’87 is up to. I am currently a national sales trainer for a mortgage company here in San Diego. Bobby Lee *88 Left Eugene and currently living in Portland, working as a director for a non­ profit in downtown. I often work out with Dylan Coulter from class of 1989. Mary Waite Garvey '89 I just had a baby... Edward (Ned) Hugh Garvey, Aug. 31, 2002. Cris Harris ’89 Mary and I are well, if very busy with work and efforts to restore the property we bought (in Ohio). We love it, and the last owners did great work on it, but they left us a bit to do. We’ve been wiring, and replac­ ing a boiler (did you know that an old cast iron boiler weighs like 3000 lbs. and has to have its pipe elbows broken out with a sledgehammer? Did you know that if you don’t wrap a towel around the elbow, the pieces of cast iron can fly across the room and put you in the emergency room waiting for sutures while people who are hurt by reasons other than their own stupidity get care?) painting, mowing, planting gardens, and trying to keep a 100-year-old barn from doing what gravity and the weather have been convincing it to do all this time. I’m finishing my second week of class today, teaching humanities and junior English to a diverse bunch of kids who talk with a different accent than OES kids, but are pretty much the same good souls. Lorca Fitschen Smetana ’87 I couldn’t make the reunion but I thought I’d write with an update. I was married (near Bozeman, Montana) on July 28 of this year to Dusan Smetana, a wildlife pho­ tographer from Czechoslovakia. I am teaching critical thinking to freshmen now at Montana State University, and am pretty darned happy. I hope you’re doing well, too! See the link www.corvusresearch.com/indexNved.htm. James Nudelman ’87 I apologize for this late response regarding the OES Reunion. I would love to attend, but my girlfriend is moving down to San Diego this week so unfortunately the timing OES AUTUMN 2002 Scott Klemp '87 and his new wife Fran were married in August 2002. 21 �:!

This October I’ll be a brides­ maid in Sidney Joanne Bennington’s wedding (she graduated with my brother in ’94) along with her sister Sherrill (OES ’91) and Hillary Ecklund (OES ’88, my sister’s year, I think). Busy busy! ; Clair Clark Wiles ’91 I am fulfilling my dream of teaching social studies at the high school level. It is an excellent lesson on karma! Courtney Brown ’92 Russ Beutler '90 and daughter Madeline enjoy time in Barcelona, Spain. Russ and family spent several months working in Europe this year. 1990’s Sharon Eileen Gebbie ’91 I am doing very well. I’m teaching two courses at the University of Illinois, grading another, being an instructor for the Ida B. Wells Home School, and I’m also the local YWCA’s new Youth Mentor Program After clerking for a justice at the Vermont Supreme Court I accepted a position as staff attorney practicing public interest environmental law in Taos, NM at the Southwest regional office of the Western Environmental Law Center (WELC). WELC has litigated some of the nation's most important environmental cases, including the first case to protect the Northern Spotted Owl. My dream job!

We also have our adopted Greyhound, Dayton. Favorite moment at OES: latex appreciation Tricia Kreinberg '92 Tricia is working as a pediatric oncology nurse at Emanuel. CHUCK REYNOLDS ’69 Griffith Owen ’92 INTERVIEWED BY KENT SAITOH '03 CampusPoint is doing very well, we have very good relationships with local employ­ ers of all sizes, gas in the tank, and phenomenal employees. History was captivating... Chuck remembers the history teachers, especially Donald Coldberg, being extraordinarily interested in their subject and extremely passionate in their teaching. “The history teachers got me hooked," he said. From 1976 to 1986, Chuck taught history at OES. : Strict dress code... A corduroy jacket, slacks, a white shirt and a tie were required to be worn every day. He said students expressed their individuality by wearing garish ties. Tessa Williamson White '92 Tessa works at Yahoo in the Bay Area. She got married at the Governor Hotel in May, Corbet did the wedding. In the wedding party was Courtney Brown ’92. In atten­ dance were Kyle Williamson ’97, Tricia Kreinberg ’92, Shannon Dooley ’92, and Tara Sorensen Witt ’92. Science has changed... When Chuck attended Bishop Dagwell Hall, there were no science projects or individual research assign­ ments. However, one teacher did take forays into the wetlands —with his shotgun and dog! *= Vietnam War years... A Green Beret soldier spoke at a school assembly in 1965 or 1966. It was before opposition to the war had grown, but Chuck remembers that some faculty members and students questioned the soldier about why the United States was involved in Southeast Asia. By the time he graduated, anti-war sentiment ? was quite strong among the faculty, but he doesn't remember students expressing opposition, perhaps because they were too busy with their schoolwork. Thirty-three years after Bishop Dagwell Hall... Chuck is an attorney and a graduate of Stanford University. His daughter Margaret graduated from OES in 2000, and his il son Mackenzie is a senior. ••• . i 22 OES AUTUMN 2002 Class of 1992 at 10 year reunion: Annette Kloeppel, Tara Sorensen Witt, Charlie Adams, Ayesha Ahmad, Jessica Davidson DuMone, Griffith Owen �CLASS NOTES Tara Sorensen Witt '92 Thanks to everyone who was able to make the reunion on Oct. 5. It was great to see old friends and catch up. I was amazed at the people who traveled in for the event. Kudos to Aki who came all of the way from Japan! Ayesha was nice enough to capture the night in pictures, so check out: www.mrl.ucsb.edu/~aahmad/OES_reunion _2002/index.htm SUSANNAH VALATKA '60 INTERVIEWED BY ASHLEY MORGANSTERN '03 Describes St. Helens Hall In the 1950s... The whole school was very formal, which pleased Susannah. “I liked the formality and wished it had been even more formal," she said. There was a daily uniform inspection, first by faculty, then by students. Untidy clothes, such as a torn stocking, were not tolerated, and untidy students were forced to clean up. The purpose of OES, as Susannah understood it, was to teach young girls how to be ladies. At St Helens Hall they were taught proper manners, Erin Boyle ’95 Hey! After graduating from Lewis and Clark College in 1999 with a degree in anthropology and sociology I took off for six months and traveled around India and the Middle East. After reluctantly coming home I settled in Olympia, Washington, and worked with at-risk youth in a crisis residential center. Now I am living in Miami, working for the University of Miami on a CDC research grant looking at HIV/AIDS in the Haitian community and getting my masters in special education. Would love to hear from everyone and anyone and all are welcome to come visit the sun! Blessings, Erin. erinboyle2001 @yahoo.com attire, and conduct, while being provided with a rigorous academic schedule. Remembers traditions... A "silly" tradition were initiations for new students, which were modeled after initiations of college sororities. Students would wear radishes around their necks or have to roll around in spaghetti. On the serious side, there was a formal Christmas Pageant each year and it was an honor to be chosen to portray the Virgin Mary. Changes she recalls... The curriculum emphasized science and math more after the Russians sent Sputnik into space. Forty-two years after St. Helens Hall... Her profession is being a college registrar, in which she is aided by the command of English she gained at St. Helens Hall. Joe Ferguson Calderon ’95 I am starting a business called GaitSetter™ that sells custom orthotics ... I just started the company this week. Woody English ’95 I’m studying at the Sorbonne in Paris for the year before going back to get my master’s in the USA. Jon Reali ’95 I am currently a summer associate with Blakely, SokolofF, Taylor & Zafman LLP, a patent law firm in Lake Oswego. I’ll gradu­ ate in 2003 from Notre Dame with a joint JD/MBA. Adam Greene ’96 I finally finished my undergraduate degree at Bowdoin College (Com sci major, Bio minor) in December. The six-year program actually does exist... and it is not so bad! I went on to do some graduate research in Computational Chemistry (surprise, Rosa!), but was sucked away to Wall Street to work with a group that does quantitative and statistical modeling of the market. I never saw myself working on the street, but I still avoid having to wear a suit and a tie! While I consider this just a short excursion before I try something else, NYC is fantas­ tic, and a wonderful place to continue my dancing hobby, adam.greene@bowdoin.edu Evan Seifert ’96 Felicity Shoulders Whelan '98 at her wedding to Matthew Whelan Evan Seifert is now in the Peace Corps in Mauritania, West Africa. He started train­ ing in early June and will move to Kiffa in early September. OES AUTUMN 2002 Chris Edell ’97 Currendy I am working as a management consultant at a consulting firm in San Francisco.

He was recruited by Mitsubishi and begins with them in November. Kyle Williamson ’97 Kyle just got his BA from the University of Oregon. Allison Winningstad ’97 I think it’s high time I sent an update... I ran into Coleen Conkey at Stanford’s the other day (right before the Bruce Springsteen concert! He rocked!), and she reminded me that people do read these (I do too)! Well, it’s time to leave the country: I’m leaving at the end of September to go to Kyrgyzstan for the Peace Corps. I’ll be 23 �CLASS NOTES Rebeka Held '01 in Croatia teaching English (and trying to stay warm!) That’s the big news ... Kiruthi Njenga ’98 I finished my undergraduate studies at Willamette University this May, and now I am pursuing a Master’s in Computer Science at Tufts University. School is great, but I am still an aardvark at heart. Ian Ruder ’98 Ian Ruder, OES ’98, has been appointed by Governor Kitzhaber to the State Board of Higher Education. Felicity Shoulders Whelan '98 My husband, Matthew Whelan, is from Beaverton, and we met in high school. We had Father David Pace officiate at the small ceremony, which was held in the Shakespeare Garden of the Portland International Rose Test Gardens (what a mouthful, you should see the invitations!). Some of my OES friends attended, and Rose Whitmore, Class of’98, was one of my bridesmaids! We had the reception at the Oswego Heritage House, and we honey­ mooned on the coast!... It was very nice to see Father David again, and we both really enjoyed our pre-wedding chats with him he is as wise as he is funny. And of course, I had asked Father David to officiate at my wedding when I was in middle school, so I had to follow through :) 24 2000’S In Memoriam Kimberly Spears ’00 Kimberly earned a two-year UC LEADS grant, from the University of California at Santa Barbara. The program began with her spending this summer working with Dr. Jeff Stopple, professor of mathematics in Number Theory.

Zeiner Award, for a sophomore pre­ medical student, in recognition of academic achievement reflecting the standards set by Professor Zeiner. Rebeka Held ’01 Just wanted to drop a little note hoping you haven’t forgotten about me, because I still remember all of you from OES and miss you a lot! Currently, I’m a sophomore at Zagreb Med School and am living in the dorms with some friends. This summer I had Kristi McKean visit me in Croatia for a few days, but I hope I’ll be able to come to Portland again sometime soon and see some of the “OES people” as well. Wishing all of you well! Ciao! Marshall Hoffman '01 Beginning my first year at the US Naval Academy. Correction A room shown in a photograph in the summer issue of the OES magazine was misidentified as the “Wreck Room.” The room at St. Helens Hall was actually called the “Round Table Room” and was used as a senior study hall and for club meetings. We regret the error. ! I Betty Lou Roberts ’36 Betty Lou died Aug. 22, 2002. I Thelma Amacher Zertanna '39 Thelma died June 18, 2002.

Plans call for the ambitious capital investments in three defining elements of an OES education: a school community made up of students of promise, an unmatched and dedicated faculty, and top-notch facilities supporting world-class teaching and learning. The outstanding generosity of the donors listed below made it possible for us to break ground in June for our new Math, Science, and Technology Building. Gifts were also made for the renovation of the Upper School and for the school’s endowment. We are grateful for their support. Dick & Carilyn Alexander The Rev.

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

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

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

Featured this year was a six by three foot board filled with computer and sensor-controlled models illustrating Portland history, including a replica of St. Helen’s Hall. Fifty LEGO® engineers from OES participated in the exhibition at the Zoo. OES teacher and LEGO® Physics leader Jane Kenney-Norberg says she was grateful for another year of incredible teacher and parent support, which helped the event come off without a hitch. Graduate Makes His Mark on National Math Exam Trevor Wilson ’02 ended his OES career with some spectacular accomplish­ ments—he scored a perfect 1600 on his SAT’s, passed the Syllabus 10 (the highest level examination) in piano, and received his black belt in Taekwando. Among his other successes was achieving the highest score at OES on the Mathematics American Competition for each of his four Upper School years. In his senior year, Trevor gradu­ Trevor Wilson '02 ated with the second-highest test score in Oregon and the sixth highest score in the nation. “He’s a really good thinker,” says math teacher Sharon Cade. “He has the ability to think outside the box.” Trevor will be a freshman at CalTech this fall. 12 Students Attend City Club Forums For over ten years, Middle School humanities teacher Alice Simpson has been taking her students to the City Club of Portland’s Friday Forums, where citizens and community experts discuss issues pertinent to Portland. The City Club Forums have allowed the students to learn firsthand about issues that relate directly to what they are studying in class: homelessness, housing density in Portland, and upcoming ballot measures. Although students from Reed College and a number of high schools in the area traditionally attend the Friday meetings, only OES has Middle School representatives. The students who attend, all seventh and eighth graders, are good role models, says Alice. “I think our students often ask better questions than the kids from the other high schools, and even some of the adults!” says Alice. OES SUMMER 2002 v'V*—• �■ CAMPUS ■ SNAPS ■ Student volunteers from OES and Vose partner to clean up Sellwood Park OES and Vose Team Up for Clean-Up During May, eighth graders from OES and their fifth grade buddies from Vose Elementary School ended their school year partnership by cleaning up the beach at Portland’s Sellwood Park. SOLV (a local organization devoted to organizing volun­ teer clean-ups around the Portland metropolitan area) donated trash bags, rubber gloves, and educational materials. “This was a great way to provide service to the community and to end this year’s partnership with Vose in a fun and meaning­ ful way,” says Middle School teacher Toni Holmberg. A group of the Wmterim artists were present for the installation of their fin­ ished sculpture outside the Upper School on Fine Arts Night. From left Kate Murphy, Jack O'Brien, Andy Saftel, Chandler Hatton, Randy Goossen, Manami Uechi, Mick Sitachitt and Ben Makasiri. Winterim Offers Unique Art Experience Leslie Taylor '03 and Sumi Tani '05, first place in doubles at State, pose with District Coach of the Year Coleen Conkey Tennis Doubles Score Big at State Leslie Taylor ’03 and Sumire Tani ’05 were triumphant in doubles tennis at this year’s OSAA/US Bank State Championship, placing first despite having only played together for one year. The entire girls’ tennis team had a very strong overall performance, placing second in Oregon in their division. Coach Coleen Conkey also was named District Coach of the Year by her fellow coaches. When Jack O’Brien’s Winterim group gathered on the first day of their Outdoor Sculpture course, none of them had used welding equipment or blow torches. Despite their initial inex­ perience, by the end of the week the enthusiastic group had created a large-scale steel sculpture on their own, with design and welding assistance from Jack and a friend from his art school days, Knoxville, TN artist Andy Saftel. “It was really exciting to use the welding equipment,” says Randy Goossen ’03, who participated in the course alongside Kate Murphy ’03, Manami Uechi ’02, Chandler Hatton ’02, Jordan Wirfs-Brock ’02, Karl Kuchs ’03, Ben Mahasiri ’03, Mick Sitachitt ’03, and Leavy Huh ’03. The completed sculpture—three books, one complete with moveable pages, joined with a model of the Earth—was ceremoniously installed in its permanent home between the Upper School and St. John’s Parish during the final days of the school year. Parents Steve and Liz Warneke and their company, Imperial Steel, generously donated the mate­ rials, preparation of the steel, and equipment for the project. OES SUMMER 2002 13 �: ■ GRADUATION ■ 2002 ■ ■ GRADUATION ■ 2002 ■ ■ ! Growing Up and Other Life Stories ■ An excerpt from the 2002 Commencement Speech by faculty member Cris Harris '89 Jimmy Nelson, Luana McKinley, Grant Curry, Derrick Chan, Megan Peters Saying Goodbye to OES An excerpt from the 2002 Senior Speech by Amissa Miller ’02 It seems like every graduation speech that I can remember has ended with some profound answer or conclusion. And, in all honesty, I have no answers... The years that I have spent at OES since eighth grade are now a mosaic of faces, images, and phrases, of intense emotions and acute fatigue. I tried my best to examine as many of these components as I could in prepar­ ing myself to give this speech. My goal was to find some kind of a thread, some kind of pattern that would lead me to a conclu­ sion that I could triumphantly share with all of you... [but] I didn’t know where to turn. I had to think of a different goal. So instead of trying to find some eternal truth to share from my experience at OES, I decided that I would instead make an attempt to say everything that I wanted to say in order to be ready to bid farewell to this school... But this was so much harder than I thought it would be... It was impossible for me to figure out exactly what I could say that would make this goodbye feel satisfying or real. Suddenly, a miracle occurred. I thought of a character from one of my favorite books that I was introduced to in my sophomore English class: Holden Caufield from The Catcher in the Rye. I remembered when Holden was leaving Pencey Prep, and he stood on top of the hill until he found a way to say goodbye... “I suddenly remembered this time,” Holden said, “in around October, that I and Robert Tichener and Paul Campbell were chucking a football around, in front of the academic building. It was just before dinner and it was getting pretty dark out, but we kept chucking the ball around anyway. It kept getting darker and darker, and we could hardly see the ball anymore, but we didn’t want to stop doing what we were doing.” And this was all Holden needed to get his goodbye. I thought I would try the same thing. There were so many episodes, of course, that stood out from the past five years. But, even with all of these outstanding moments, I kept coming back to one in particular. On the last night of our senior class fall trip, I remember a group of us walking down to the beach... It was a magnificent, dazzling, gorgeous night; it wasn’t even cold, which is miracu­ lous for the Oregon coast. And there were so many stars. I clearly remember marveling at how many stars I saw. I can’t remember how many people were there, or what it was that we talked and laughed about... but I know that it was one of a few moments in my life when everything felt right. In the light of that moon and those stars, with that ocean and that sand and those friends. And I remember thinking how much I wanted that moment to last forever. And that was all I needed. Thanks to Holden Caufield, thanks to that night on the beach, I got my goodbye. ■ / “A story is a vivid and continuous fictional dream, wherein a central character encounters a causative situation...” I found myself telling a group of students recently who had asked me for a definition of story. A vivid and continuous fictional dream... words I learned in my sophomore English class in the fall of 1986 under the delicate tutelage of Lynne Sadler... I have used the definition many times in the last sixteen years, but find it still unsatisfactory. What is a causative situation? How is resolution defined?... As a writing teacher, I am often asked by desperately confused students who feel the deadline approach­ ing: “How do I end my story? How do I resolve it? Worse yet, how do I leave it unresolved and still effective?”... When I first began teaching at OES in 1996,1 was fresh in my grief for my father, whose death in May of 1995 precipitated my journey to Oregon. In those days, I sometimes dreamt of him, and while I would wake up crying, the greater sadness was that those dreams faded... These days, and especially these last weeks, I have been thinking about another, duller and yet deeper loss which perhaps has had equal impact on who I am, and my story. My first OES graduation was in 1984, when my brother Joseph walked up these steps to receive his diploma... We were close, Joseph Renn Harris and I, brought together by the same things that have united brothers throughout time: wrestling, laughing, sleeping out in the backyard, getting in trouble, tor­ turing our sister... I loved spending time with my brother, doing just about anything... And then, he had the nerve, when I was a junior in college, to get married. When I read from Corinthians at the wedding— the overused “love is patient, love is kind” passage in lucky chapter 13—I emphasized the last section “Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away, as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge it will pass away...” I sounded like a mourner at a funeral. It would never happen, I realized. We would never be kids, just boys, playing again. We would never go back to the house our family no longer lived in, never recover the pure simplicity of that time marked by play, and scheming, and exuberant violent joy... Graduates, there is a story to your life, and it has central characters and causative situations. It is a dream that may only make sense when you wake up. It has chapters, each with stories of its own. One such chapter ends for you tonight, as you leave OES behind. You might stay in touch... You might come back, but it will be a different story, I can assure you. I won’t tell you to give up the struggle to keep that which is dear, but I will tell you to savor the moments, relish what you have. I will tell you not to deny the goodbyes that have to come, not to hold on until you have made your loss worse, but to preserve those moments in time when it all hangs there, when every­ thing is possible and the ending is still in doubt. ■ Upper School faculty member Gary Crossman, and daughter Kellin I 14 OES SUMMER 2002 OES SUMMER 2002 15 �College Choices K.

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

Adams ’02 was at the Oregon coast with her family recently when she discovered in a Nehalem thrift store a number of issues of The Spinster, the literary magazine of St. Helen’s Hall during the early 1900’s. “We were so excited to rescue them,” K.T. said. “I felt sad that these literary journals had sort of been abandoned in this little shop. It would have been nice if they had been returned to the School.” OES has an extensive and growing archive of photos, lit­ erary journals, yearbooks, letters, and other memorabilia that physically chronicles the history of the school. Alumni are encouraged to donate SHH, BDH, or OES mementos during their lifetime, or to leave a collection of school keep­ sakes in their will, so that this archive can be maintained. If you would like more information about how to donate your school memorabilia, please call Alumni Director Lisa DeGrace at 503-768-3153 or e-mail her at degracel@oes.edu.

I’ve volunteered for 2 years with the SMART reading program in the Portland Public Schools. I also do office volunteer work at the St. Andrew Nativity School in Portland. I’m also chair of the CEP Board of the Lesbian Community Project. We are the tax-exempt body that oversees the financial affairs of the organization. On the home front, I’ve been lining up quite a few renovation projects, from a major kitchen overhaul to an electrical wiring upgrade in the basement laundry room. Ellen Walter Goodemoot ’52 T^f I’ve been living in Philomath for more than fifteen years, after living in many parts of the country. 1960’s Mrs. Sally Crawford Isto ’60 I attended St. Helen’s Hall for my 7th and 8th grade years (1954-1956) as a boarding student from Alaska. Recently I decided to take a sabbatical from medical practice to write a family memoir. I have thus had the opportunity to review my St. Helen’s years with some amusement. I have an 8th grade graduation picture, but am looking for a photo of the old school. I would also like to hear from classmates. Judy McDonald Cooper ’62 ~k This will be my last year of teaching. I have gotten very caught up in the travel industry having escorted six student groups to Europe and one to New York. I have decided to go into travel full-time at the end of the school year and after I return 24 from Europe in July. My husband is taking a sabbatical fall semester and so we decided this would be a good time to do other things. Our youngest son is living in California and our oldest is finishing up a degree here so we really have nothing keeping us from doing some traveling and scouting out possible areas of interest. Hopefully, we can make it to the reunion this year. Darlene Hawkins ’62 7*r I have a grandson, born May, 2001. He joins his three and half-year-old sister and his four and a half-year-old cousin. Working at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the Physics Division. Enjoying all the sights within the Bay Area all the way to the Monterey Bay and north into the wine country. Will probably move back to Oregon within the next four years to retire. Sue McKenzie Himoff ’63 My husband and I feel very lucky. I wasn’t the greatest student at St. Helen’s Hall, but I was smart enough to have married a very smart, very nice, energetic man. We have two very bright sons who will be terrific U.S. citizens always. Jim and I continue to enjoy running a successful girl’s sports eight-week camp in the Northeast. Check out our web site: www.pointopines.com. We also run a restaurant and catering busi­ ness during fall and spring and have begun another more casual Internet cafe nearby. Our main passion is supporting child development and education. Kathy Sell Bafetti ’64 Kathy’s new email address is: bugbaf@earthlink.net. She’s in the middle of more house renovations, the kitchen this time, and would enjoy hearing how others have survived it. “There’s more to go.

I’m looking forward to fin­ ishing my family travel book on Alaska and the Yukon, and so is my family! To that end, we’re driving up the Alaska Highway in July for a spot of research. I continue to OES SUMMER 2002 edit a literary quarterly and occasional technical books to help support my writing habit. Mike continues to enjoy working with NOAA, and we’ve survived son Nick’s first year of high school. Daughter Emily is growing up as fast as she can, but won’t be 11 till June. I enjoy reading about SHH alums my age or younger planning (or living) their retirement. As for us, we started late, so we figure we have another decade before we can start collecting Elderhostel brochures!

She remembers buying candles for the chapel altar from a downtown-Portland church supply store, as part of her involvement with the Helenas, the school honorary. Also, students were expected to organize and put on their social events. “All of this gave the girls a lot more responsibility than would normally be bestowed on them during that era," she says. “It was an invaluable tool. Students don’t often get that opportunity today." Remembers traditions... “You would never call a teacher by her first name! Horrors if you did that!

I am also part of a coalition that is trying to move auto companies to build in a solu­ tion, which would become standard equipment for kids ages one to nine. The harness-style jump seats, just like the seats flight attendants use, fold completely away, are the safest option, and mean parents won’t have to keep buying and transferring seats. The auto companies have not shared in this burden of engineering seatbelts for small people, preferring, instead, to slap the standard seatbelt in that’s made for a 170pound male.

We made a movie about our adventures; it’s called African Dream. Well, life in Utah is wonderful between skiing and desert trips. Med school is not so much fun, but we are done with the books this June and begin clinical training in July! Maybe pediatrics is in my future...

Ponders her SHH years for their momentous place In history... “Our junior year, 1963 to 1964, was probably one of the most profound of the 20th century. On the day President Kennedy was shot, Mrs. Ferris comforted us in Scadding Hall, we had a special service, and then... we went back to class. Then in February [of that same school year] I was sitting at my desk one Saturday and I heard the first broadcast of a Beatles song on KISN... While totally diverse, these events-just three months apartcreated an enormous sea change. The Eisenhower era ended with a shot and a song, and life began to take a whole new direction."

As our students move into abstract thinking, our Middle School teachers emphasize critical thinking, research skills, and the concept of developing opinions based on sound evidence. In so doing they are helping to shape the intellectual sophistication of our stu­ dents and to lead them toward responsible and informed citizenship. A central Middle School practice is the revision of writing to make the ideas expressed as clear and compelling as possible. In the Upper School students are being prepared to be judged on the quality of their writing, not only on its gram­ matical and stylistic excellence, but also on the interest and stimulation provided by the ideas or narrative expressed in the writing. For most of our students, the quality of their writing will be a central factor in the judgment of college admissions officers about the admissibility of a student to their college or university. The teaching of writing at OES has benefited greatly from our online curriculum map. Atlas the Aardvark. Now teach­ ers in each division can quickly understand what teachers in the previous and succeeding classes have done with writing. Teachers of seniors can more easily grasp how it all began in pre-kindergarten, and first grade teachers can understand the importance of quality writing in the Upper School or college essay. Our lives as adults are full of opportunities to make a dif­ ference through our writing, no matter what our occupation. We owe it to our students to prepare them as well as we pos­ sibly can to be eloquent and accurate in their writing. Only then can they have the greatest impact on their vocations and their communities. In the 1964 musical, My Fair Lady, Henry’ Higgins trains Eliza Doolittle to rise above her social class by improving her diction. In so doing, he acknowledges an age-old tendency we all have to pigeonhole people according to some characteristic they have, usually to nega­ tive result. Fortunately, much of what we do at OES is to help students look beyond the superficial differences that mark us all, and recognize the talents and feelings of each of us in a positive way. To this end we strive to give our students the tools that will allow their voices to be heard and their writing to be read. I would argue that nothing pro­ vides a greater advantage to our graduates than the ability to write clearly, succinctly, and eloquently. The teachers at OES—from pre-kindergarten through the senior year— probably spend more lime on the teaching of writing than on any other skill. Many hours are expended reviewing and helping students revise and improve their writing. Whether a child will grow up to be a cognitive scientist, an artist, or a business owner, they will need excellent writing skills. While only a few of our graduates will distinguish them­ selves exclusively as writers, such as Virginia Euwer Wolff‘55, about whom you will read in this issue of the Belltower, many will interpret their own unique experiences through excellent writing. Those who write well will make their ideas and accomplishments known to others, not only to expert colleagues, but also to the well-educated layperson. Writing exerts a discipline on thought that teaches rigor, clarity, and beauty of expression. Our teachers guide the written expression of our students from the early invented spelling in the Beginning School, to their attempts to make clear the joys of a trip to the Lego® exhibit at the Zoo, to their first research report in second grade.

Up the cracked granite steps and through the old wooden door there is a dark hallway. Down the dark hallway there are two dark staircases. One goes up and the other goes down. Go either way, take your pick. One goes to the attic and the second floor. The other goes to the basement that is interesting to explore. They say that no one lives here, but is it really true? Let's go to the basement first it's a nice place down there. But be careful to skip the fourth step from the top, it's gone! Down in the basement it is very dark and peaceful too, that is if you leave the cats alone. If you go to the attic alone look out for swooping owls and be sure not to bother the bats. THE BEGINNING WRITER The writing program at OES is developmentally appropri­ ate, and builds skills slowly. In the Lower School, the writing program is based on a developmental continuum grounded in scientific research, explains Jean Patsis, the Lower School language teacher. “Students begin experimenting with writing as early as the Beginning School, pulling words together, using inventive spelling, and learning that writing has meaning,” she says. “They’re learning a lot about words, and that letters make different sounds. They discover the concept of communicat­ ing through writing.” As they move through the developmental continuum, young writers begin using more traditional spelling, and by the second grade they’re held accountable for accuracy. They are also choosing topics that are personally significant, and experimenting with words drawn from literature, media, and oral language of others. The following is a sample of work al this stage, written by OES second grader Ben Caton, entitled The Haunted House: Lower School students are exposed to different types of writing—persuasive, expositor}', narrative, imaginative— and are beginning to learn what criteria are necessary to make those types “work.” They’re using this knowledge to evaluate and improve their own writing. By the fifth grade, Lower School students are ready to write analytically across the curriculum, about science, math, or history. Writers al this stage also can express them­ selves in a variety of forms including reports, arguments, poems and stories. An OES fifth grader, Jennifer Luong, wrote about Pennsylvania and used the poetic form to convey what she felt was important about the state. The history here goes far, far back, To when the Ice Age had just begun. From the Delaware Indians, to the steelworkers here, To when William Penn's colony started to come. The Revolutionary War, the Civil War, And the signings in Independence Hall. So many things took place right here, One couldn't possibly name them all. From the beautiful splashing waterfalls, To the great historical sites. And the large mining fields, To the hills and plateaus of great heights. From north to south, and east to west, There are so many things to do and see. From the Appalachian Mountains, to the Delaware River, Pennsylvania's a great place to be. Drawing by Leavy Huh ’03 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL 8 �SPRING 2 0 0 2 THE ADOLESCENT WRITER When students enter OES’ Middle School, most are com­ petent beginning writers who know how to write in different forms. They are beginning to discern the type of writing that will fulfill their purpose or support their argument. Even at this age, students are ready for different exercises al different limes. “Il is important to note the broad range of writing abilities found in any given classroom,” points out Middle School Head Charyl Cathey. “Higher order thinking skills arrive at different limes; there is no way to predict just when a child will move to this place. When it happens, though, it is big. We witness the emergence of a new way of thought, and its effects on writing can be amazing.” Middle School students are writing within the established framework of their humanities classes; sixth graders concen­ trate on world cultures, seventh graders focus on American history, and eighth graders study structures of government. Within this framework, students do spontaneous in-class writing, brainstorming, drafting, outlining, organizing, editing, proofreading and revising. Writing projects include persuasive essays, reports, poems, journals, news stories, narratives, plays and fiction. “In the Middle School we encourage our writing students to develop their critical thinking skills, creative expression, fluency, and mechanical proficiency,” says humanities teacher Anna Schatz. “These skills are addressed in sixth grade, revisited in seventh grade, and honed in eighth grade.” By the eighth grade, Middle School students are refining their writing. They become more proficient in research, and complete an eighth grade research project that combines and expands on their skills. They are able to make an argu­ ment. and present their ideas and cite evidence supporting that argument. Following is a sample excerpt from an essay on William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, written by OES eighth grader, Sarah Marshall: i I think that the beast, as it was called, has no physical manifestation, that it is simply the boys' fears of being alone, without order. I think that although freedom is exhilarating in the eyes of the children, it is also terrify­ ing not having someone tell you what to do, even if you do not want to do it...This book brings up the question of whether it is human nature to seek order and civiliza­ tion, or rather to run wild, doing what one wants. Although it is clear that organized civilization is more reasonable and certainly has a higher success rate, it is harder to figure out what is at the heart of our being. By the eighth grade, students also are able to better link their humanities studies, their writing, and their skills al reporting on real life. The annual “Holocaust Summary” is written after a visit and talk by a Holocaust survivor, Chella Kryszeck. It incorporates their knowledge of history, their government, and their personal reactions to her visit. The following is an excerpt from eighth grader Ben Kaplin’s summary: I am Jewish, and, directly or indirectly, have been study­ ing the Holocaust from a very young age. I have read many stories about the horrors perpetrated by the Nazis, some were observational books, others were impas­ sioned survivors' tales. None were quite so dramatic as what I experienced while listening to Mrs. Kryszeck. . . . The Holocaust should be studied as a case-in-point demonstration of what can happen when checks and balances are not implemented in a government. . . THE WRITER AS YOUNG ADULT The Upper School writing program’s primary' goal is to give its students a solid foundation in critical writing. Ninth graders complete six critical essays during the year, each with three drafts that are subjected to peer and teacher review. “By the end of freshman year, students are writing beautiful, persuasive pieces,” says Upper School humanities teacher Cris Harris ’89. “It’s so hard at the beginning of freshman year, but by the end they really have their critical writing skills under control,” he says. The Upper School program also offers opportunities for creative writing, but these are almost always paired with critical work. “It’s absolutely necessary for students to have a strong grasp on critical reading and writing in order to begin to work on their creative skills. One cannot be a poet without knowing what poetry is, and one can’t know what poetry is from simply reading dozens or even hundreds of poems,” points out Maty' Quade, Upper School humanities teacher. To that end, during sophomore year students research a poet, compose a lengthy critical analysis of a poet’s work and write a brief biography of that poet. They also write their own poems imitating the work of that poet. By junior year, students use their growing skills in critical discourse to work on an ambitious research project in literary joumalcontinued on next page 9 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 2 0 0 2 continued from page 9 From the Ground Up: OES BUILDS GOOD WRITERS ism. For his piece, Chris Icombe, now an OES senior, wrote about America’s love affair with baseball. He interviewed men about their Little League experiences, reflected on his own memories of Little League, researched past newspapers about minor league baseball in Portland, and observed local Little League games. Here is an excerpt from his story describing one of those games: He settled into the box, waving his bat around his head, as if signaling that if he didn't get pitched to soon, he might run up to the pitcher and hit the ball out of his hands. But before this could happen, the pitch was thrown; the batter reared back and stepped forward to take his mighty swing. This time, instead of the faint metallic sound that was made before, there was a solid "thunk!" as the bat connected and sent the ball high into the evening air. Everyone's heads turned sky-wards, including the center fielder who began a sprint back towards the fence. Soon though, he found himself out of grass to run on, and watched helplessly as the ball contin­ ued its flight, landing somewhere in the trees beyond. The stands erupted into cheers as Lamb's dugout streamed onto the field to greet their hero at the plate, while the pitcher slowly made his way back to the mound. I suspected that this was not the kid's first homerun, as he appeared to have his homerun-trot down very well... a slow, strutting jog around the bases, ending with a twofooted jump onto home plate. His team engulfed him in high-fives and slaps on his helmet as he made his way back to the dugout, his work for the night completed. like an avalanche. The box boy glared at me and gritty granules crunched beneath my feet. After skating into the parking lot, my car sputtered scornfully and refused to start. I hitched a ride home. Then I crawled towards my neighbor's house, measuring cup in hand, but they refused to answer the door. I pounded with bloody fists and threatened to break their windows, but still they would not show their face. I baked the cake anyway. Bitter clumps of cocoa clung to quivering egg whites and shards of shell I had refused to remove. Insistent flecks of baking powder burned in my eyes. I watched the cake sit in my oven, dense and impregnable. There was no ounce of sweetness in that tenacious lump. For your birthday, I let it burn. Upper School writers have ample opportunity to share their work with others. They read their writing aloud in class and during Gathering or chapel. They publish their poems or essays in the annual Art-Lit magazine, or con­ tribute to The Blophish, the Upper School newspaper. All of these opportunities generate feedback from teachers, advi­ sors, and fellow students, which in turn helps them improve and refine their writing. COLLEGE AND CAREERS: During senior year, students take elective classes that give them the opportunity to write critically and creatively. The electives range from Holocaust, Shakespeare and Southern Gothic to Fables, Poetry, and Creative Non-Fiction. In the Poetry elective, students read widely in the Western tradition of poetry, learn the vocabulary appropriate to the study of poetry, and write analytical papers. They also compose poems, some imitative of established poets and others their own. An example of the latter is a poem by Lori DeRochers ’02. A Cake for You I wanted to make a cake for your birthday, but my tupperware of sugar was empty.

Psychologist Robin Hail KarrMorse ’63 wrote a critically-acclaimed book about the links between childhood abuse and later violence, entitled Ghosts in the Nursery: Tracing the Roots of Violence. Nancy Reynolds ‘64 has published two travel books, is at work on a third, and contributes to magazines. Cris Harris ’89 neatly sums up one of the most important tools the writing program gives its students: “We give our students the skills to put into words what they see and experience in their world. They view themselves as explor­ ers who can express their vision and their interpretation of just about anything.” ■ �SPRING 2 0 0 2 ▲ OES parents Nancy Greene and Dave Wilson get excited as the live auction heats up ▲ Parent Urrnila Ratnam enters the competition for a prized live auction item OES Rocks, Rolls, and Remembers at the 2002 AUCTION ▲ Is that Jerry Garcia and one of his groupies?

Jack O’Brien adds that “In addition to touching the lives of thousands of students, he’s also been an important mentor to many new teachers over the years.” As for David, he says in his trade­ mark understated way, “1 will miss two things: the exciting, intellectual, and social interactions I had with OES stu­ dents, and the enriching experiences I had with a great group of colleagues.” Headmaster Peter Sipple hired David Streight in 1973 to teach Spanish. David soon look on directing the Upper School plays, and in his second year he began leaching what was seen as an “unconventional” course for seniors: Social Creativity (later to be renamed Philosophy of Love). Most recently David developed and taught a religion course on Islam, which was of particular value during the recent events surrounding September 11. It was one of only a few semester-long courses on Islam taught in United States secondary schools. David’s role as school counselor was put to the test during and after the Ml. Hood climbing accident. “In terms of counseling and lots of things in my life, it was probably the most challeng­ 14 ▲ David Streight taught at OES for nearly thirty years ing period I’ve experienced,” he says. “But it was also one of the most fulfill­ ing. It was a defining moment for OES, because everyone was working together towards healing.” Over the years, David became inex­ tricably linked with theatre al OES. He acted in all but one of the twenty-two all-school plays, which he and wife Pamela Vohnson inaugurated in 1980 (still an annual tradition al OES). He directed innumerable Upper School fall and spring plays and musicals. During the 1980s he established Longmont Turkey Day, an impromptu, goofy “holiday” for the Upper School com­ plete with a “best turkey legs” contest. In his spare lime, David does French-to-English translations; he most recently completed a biography, Hegel (Notre Dame Press), Avenoes: A Rationalist in Islam (Notre Dame Press), and A Historial Dictionary of the Papacy (Routledge), an 1800-page work. David is now a full-time school psy­ chologist with Portland Public Schools. He is based at Beach Elementary School, which has a large Latino, African-American, and international student population. “I will miss teach­ ing,” says David, “But it will be stimulating and fulfilling to work as a school psychologist, with a different kind of community. And I look forward to continued friendships with OES students, alumni and teachers.” ■ �SHH ALUMNA RECEIVES NATIONAL BOOK AWARD irginia “Jinny” Euwer Wolff’55 is no stranger to kudos; each of her five novels for young adults has been recognized for its contributions with various national honors. This past fall she was selected for what is among the most presti­ gious honors for American authors, a National Book Award, and she described what that experience was like for The Belltower. BT: When did you first hear that you had been selected as one of the finalists for the National Book Award? How did that feel? VEW: When the phone rang one morning in early October, it was Neil Baldwin (Executive Director of the National Book Foundation), saying True Believer had been selected as a finalist in its category. I remem­ ber saying, “You’re not kidding? You’re not kidding. You mean you’re still going to have the National Book Awards?” This was so ▲ Virginia soon after September 11. I had thought everything would just stop for a while and that we as a nation would mourn and grieve and ponder for the duration. He answered me very kindly, saying that at this lime the literary community needs more than ever to call attention to the enduring value of books. Were you familiar with the other finalists in your cate­ gory and their books? In the Young People’s Literature category the other books are all strong, engaging works, each one compelling and unlike its fellows. I’d known about two of them, and I read all the finalists in the next few weeks. 1 admire them all. 1 did have a favorite, one that was not mine. Being part of that group was heartening and enjoyable. What was it like to attend the National Book Awards ceremony, and then to actually win in your category? It was a very nice banquet in New York. My son, Anthony, came from Boston, and my daughter, Juliet, came from Maryland. We dressed up (the banquet was black lie), we ate food, we shook hands with people, we smiled for cameras, we were glad to be included in the evening. None of us expected True Believer to win. (Going to dinner with that expectation would not be a way to have an enjoyable evening.) I found out that I’d won when the chair of the committee of judges announced it at the end of her speech about the group of books and the judges’ criteria. What was that moment like? Astonishing, exciting, confusing. Shouts in the ballroom, sweeping spotlights, hugs from people I couldn’t remember meeting. Being on stage was a bit shaky, a bit unnerving, but it went well. I didn’t trip over my words, 1 quoted Faulkner, I thanked the judges and a few other people, and sat down. But my son and I had walked the perimeter of the World Trade Center gravesite that after- SPRING 2 0 0 2 noon, so I didn’t swoon or lose my grip or anything. The afternoon had been far too sobering for me to be seduced by a trophy. Describe True Believer for those who have not (yet!) read it. What inspired it, and what kind of research did you do for the book? Well, True Believer is a novel for kids about age 13 and up. It concerns a year in the life of LaVaughn, a 15-yearold girl in an inner city. She meets disorienting challenges and figures out, with painful slowness, how to meet them. What inspired the story? I kept thinking about the girl whose story I’d begun in a previous book, and I kept wondering how she was doing, now that she was older. I began wandering around in her life and I found some Euwer Wolff ’55 things I thought could make sense in a novel. Also, Shakespeare’s King Lear has been my favorite play for decades. 1 think it’s always with me, and I did unconsciously use an element from it in True Believer. It’s the matter of having to find yourself wrong, wrong, wrong, and figuring out what you’re going to do about that. Lear is perhaps our richest example of this horror. In True Believer 1 allowed LaVaughn to make really bad choices, to hurt people, to be indifferent to the needs of her fellow human beings. I wanted to see how she would try to climb up out of that. Not till I was in midstream with the book did it dawn on me: “Oh! I’ve borrowed that from King Lear!” My research for the novel included books, phone calls, observation—the usual. And a lot of years of living. How did you decide to write the entire book in vernacu­ lar? And how long did it take to complete the book? Do you know anyone who doesn’t speak in vernacular language? I don’t think 1 do. We have so many gradations of vernacular. I’m just feeling around trying to find the right words for the right moment in somebody’s life. And it look me a bit under four years; that’s a short lime, for me. What are you currently working on? True Believer is the second book in a trilogy; Make Lemonade was the first. The third one, like ever}' book, is very daunting, and I’m working on it piecemeal. I’m working on some other small things at the same time, but that third book deserves and gets most of my attention. (Well, along with a whole lot of violin practicing.) Do you feel any pressure after having won one of the most prestigious awards for American authors? Pressure that comes with winning a very lovely award? Well, yes. But I’ve been applying some pressure to myself for several years anyway. Maybe all this understatement of mine continued on page 17 15 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 2 0 0 2 see who from your class is coordinating the class events.

A Letter to the Alumni Marietta Lind Kuykendall ’55 Alumni Association President Dear Fellow Alumni, OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL Mark your calendar! Enter it in your Palm Pilot! Reunion 2002 will be held on October 4 and 5. Reunion Weekend has been moved from June to October to coordinate with OES Homecoming and to maximize the opportunity for alumni to see OES in action. One reunion event remains scheduled for June: the class of 1952 will have their 50th reunion on June 7, Graduation Day. Homecoming, Aardvark style, was inaugurated last fall with the combined efforts of Kathy Wiest, an Upper School parent, and many students from all three divisions. Soccer games, volleyball games, a family barbecue, an Upper School dance and a variety of other activities highlighted the occa­ sion. A great time was had by everyone. Similar events are planned for this fall. On Friday, October 4, alumni will have an opportunity to visit classes and see students and faculty. The Upper School boys’ varsity soccer team will be playing Friday evening. Alumni will be able to admire the athletic field’s new lights and scoreboard and provide a cheering section. An evening social event will give us an opportunity to visit with each other as well as with faculty and staff. On Saturday, October 5, the festivities will continue with more alumni events including a lunch for all. The evening is being reserved for individual reunion class activities. A special invitation is being made to those alumni from classes ending with a “2” or a “7”. Get in touch with your classmates and make your plans.

After graduating from the Hall and later the University of Oregon, Eleanor managed her father’s Portland Paper Box Company, and later joined her husband’s business. Alloy Plating and Polishing Company. On May 29, 1926, she married Harold Burkitt, to whom she was married for 75 years. She helped organize the early Portland Opera Association and was a board member for a number of years. Later, she became involved with the Maude Brown Pendleton Scholarship Fund al Pacific University. She was a member of the National Society of New England Women and the Daughters of the American Colonists and Daughters of the Nile. On February 14, 1924, she was named “Miss Oregon” having been descended from her great-great grand­ father, Daniel Newcomb, signer of the Constitutional Convention that made Oregon a state. Mr. Burkitt passed away on August 7, 2001. She is sur­ vived by her two children, Harold Holman Burkitt and Barbara Burkitt Sloggett (an OES alumna), seven grandchildren, ten great grandchildren, and a great great grandson. Carolyn “Carney” Coleman Fatland ’47 Carney died on December 19, 2001 after a battle with breast cancer. She was 72. After attending the Hall, Carney attended Oregon State, where she was active in the Alpha Chi Sorority. She married Jack in 1948, and following Jack’s service in the Navy, returned to Condon, Oregon where they owned and operated Fatland’s Goodyear Tires until Jack’s death in April 2000. The business is now in its third generation of Fatland family ownership. Carney was a member of St. John Catholic Church and Altar Society, as associate of the Sisters of St. Mary, a volunteer for the Condon Food Pantry, and briefly a director of the Summit Springs Village Corp. She is survived by two daughters, three sons, ten grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Mrs. Louise Holford Lucas ’28 Louise passed away shortly after her 91st birthday.

I rather think much of it is. I just can’t get loo sleepless over a book, pressure, a trophy, dressing up and shaking hands—none of that seems to have very overwhelming importance in the face of what has happened to our country and what the attacks still may mean, meanings we as a culture don’t understand yet. You have often mentioned Miss Irene Male Campbell, your Latin teacher al St. Helen’s Hall. What would you say to her, if you could, in thanks for the indirect ways she helped you win this award? Oh, I’d thank her and thank her and thank her for conveying the value of little picky elements in words and their relationship with the larger phenome17 non of language and the way language articulates, distinguishes, and shapes cultures. She didn’t say it that way, and I didn’t think of it that way then. But what she was doing was filling my head with something like a jeweler's approach to language: Seeing it facet by facet, turning and turning it over, the better to see all sides, feel its balance or lack of. Bless her, Miss Campbell had a bunch of impatient adolescent girls in her classes, and she did her best with us. I suppose my English vocabulary nearly doubled because I was in her Latin class. Il cer­ tainly felt as if that was happening. And I think that class was where I began to be so fascinated by the mar­ velously fluid thing that the English sentence is. ■ OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �SPRING 2 0 0 2 Listed here are alumni from Reunion classes (ending with a '2 or ’7) with whom we've lost touch.

She attended St. Helen’s Hall as a boarding student her last two years of high school and found the transition from Alaska to Oregon to be difficult. However, June quickly realized the advantage of her new academic environment at St. Helen’s Hall. “I feel the support given by the faculty and classmates to all of us who were entering, or trying to enter, tough fields, was highly important. We all knew after our years at St. Helen’s Hall that it was okay for a woman to have a career.” After graduating from St. Helen’s Hall, June went to the University of Colorado, then on to the University of Washington Medical School. She finished her internship at Minneapolis General Hospital and her family practice residency at Monterey County Hospital in California. June worked hard as a successful family practitioner for thirty-nine years, while devoting many hours to chari­ table endeavors and medical politics, and raising three sons. June is grateful for the foundation St. Helen’s Hall provided for her. She and her physician husband both feel it is important to recognize the schools that have been influential in their lives. Naming OES as one of the beneficiaries of their Charitable Trust, June and her husband are leaving a legacy—from St. Helen’s Hall to Oregon Episcopal School.

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

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

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

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

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

Her presence in the OES alumni commu­ nity was truly a blessing, and she will be greatly missed. After graduating from St. Helen’s Hall, Sally went on to graduate from the University of Oregon. During World War II, she served in the US Women’s Army Corps, returning afterwards to marry Lansing Stout, Sr. She served for over 20 years as a piano teacher at Lewis and Clark College. Sally was a faithful member of the OES community, best known for her wonderful history of the Hall: Saint Helen’s Hall, The First Century. Sally could always be counted on as a reference for school history. She was a faithful volunteer with a warm heart. In 1998, the Alumni Association honored Sally with the Distinguished Alumni Award for her years of service to the school. Sally is survived by her her son Lansing, Jr., and three grandchildren.

Here are a few questions to help you plan: 1. Am I aMe, fo Mafc& a tfiarifable- ^iff fo in 7-001? The close of the calendar year, coupled with our current economic and political times, means you are probably receiving many charitable requests from worthwhile organizations. During this period, we hope you will remember OES and our ongoing financial needs. We are eager to conclude this year in good financial shape so we can confidently face the opportunities and challenges of the future. Your special year-end gift will strengthen us considerably. Of course, if you have already made your gift to OES this year, we want to thank you once again. 2. Whaf are- fax otli^fion^ for 7-001? Many taxpayers consult with their accountants before the end of the year to determine tax lia­ bility. Perhaps you’ve done this already or maybe you simply have a good idea where you stand. In any case, we encourage you to take advantage of the tax benefits offered by the government. y Po I harfc appre-6-iafe-d Qtoofc. ok re-al I c^ould donate fo OE>S? You may find yourself in a situation where you want to give more to Oregon Episcopal School but cannot afford to decrease your annual income. Please consider these options: A Gift of Stock In most cases, the out-of-pocket cost of your gift is reduced substantially due to the "double" tax benefit you realize when you contribute appreciated stock. • First, you are entitled to an income tax charitable deduction for the full market value of appreciated stock if it has been held for at least one year. • Second, you pay no capital gains tax on the transfer or the sale of the stock by OES. A Gift of Real Estate Consider the family who purchased raw land years ago at a very low price; as an example, $5,000. Now the land is appraised at $100,000, and the capital gains tax has slowed down any ideas of selling it. • The land could be donated to OES as a named capital or endowment gift; both would leave a long legacy in the family’s name. • The land could go into a trust, creating income for named family members for life or a period of years and naming OES as the remainder beneficiary. To help further your year-end gift, please call Kevin Cott, Director ofAnnual and Planned Giving, in our Development Office at 503-768-3179 or email at cotek@oes.edu. *1wu I Linocut by I-Hui Peng (Vicky) '02 "A �I i’.

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

A Profile ofJack O’Brien, Chair of the Performing & Fine Arts Department On September 6, 2000, Jack O’Brien began his 21st year at Oregon Episcopal School, one of only a handful of teachers who have been at OES for 20 years or more. In an age where teaching has become an endangered pro­ fession, one wonders what moti­ vates a person to devote himself to teaching at the same institution for so many years. For Jack, the answer is simple: Relationships. “It’s the ability to form close rela­ tionships with people that makes OES a special place to teach,” said Jack. "I enjoy being able to relate to my students one-on-one, some­ thing that is hard to do in a school with thousands of students. I have also had the pleasure of working together for years with a wonderful group of colleagues, who have stayed for many of the same rea­ sons I have. It is so nice to work with people that you respect and who are genuinely good people.” Jack moved to Portland in 1979, fresh from California where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the College of Arts & Crafts in Oakland and the Art Institute of San Francisco. His first assignment at OES was driving an OES school bus, a part-time job which allowed him the freedom to pursue a career in the arts. How § < 1 r 7 g J; t I J? it 9 .'I does an artist-turned-bus driver become Chair of the Performing and Fine Arts Department? Jack attributes this life-changing event to one man; then Upper School Head Jim Dowell. Jim seemed to sense that somewhere beneath the surface of this aspiring artist/bus driver lay the instinctive qualities of a great teacher. “I had never, ever once thought about being a teacher,” said Jack. “Not through high school, college, even driving the bus. But Jim saw something in me that I didn’t know was there, and he thought he’d take a chance on me. So I got enough kids who were interested, and started teach­ ing a stagecraft activity. We didn’t have a shop, didn’t have any tools, and didn’t know exactly what we were doing. But we did it. We learned a lot those first couple of years, and I gradually started teaching more courses until the position of chair opened up.” Jack has since gone back to school and earned a graduate degree from the University of Portland in scenic design. Each year, he teaches classes in film and video, drawing, stagecraft, paint­ ing, and Theatre Troupe as well as directing several plays. By even the most conservative estimates, Jack has touched the lives of over 2,000 students. Today, these students can be found pursuing careers as scientists, CEOs, graduate stu­ dents, college students, and yes, even artists. Over the last 20 years Jack has been involved in the production of over 50 plays in the Great Hall, a challenge in itself. “Producing a play in the Great Hall is a mixed blessing,” claims Jack. “We have to build the complete set in the shop at SPARC, then totally break it down, truck it up to the Great Hall, and re-assemble it. And we continued on page 6 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL ▲ Jack O’Brien, Chair of the Performing & Fine Arts Department 4 5 AND �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 I i ▲ Biology teacher Peter Langley examines the properties ofpolysaccharides with his students. Year One ... A Profile of Peter Langley, Upper School Biology In September 2000, OES wel­ comed ten new faculty members to its community. No one traveled as far to be here as Englishman Peter Langley, who has spent the last sixteen years teaching in interna­ tional schools around the world. Peter arrived at OES fresh from six years in Switzerland, where he taught various levels of high school science at The American International School of Zurich, Switzerland. Prior to Zurich, he spent ten years teaching science to high school students at the Yokohama International School in Japan. “I love international teach­ ing,” said Peter. “Ten years in Japan, followed by six years in Zurich, and now OES, which for me - a British citizen - is still an inter­ national experience!” What brings a teacher halfway around the world to Oregon Episcopal School? “I find OES pos­ sesses many of the assets I look for in a quality school,” said Peter. “First of all, the Science depart­ ment is very strong, which is of particular importance to me as a biology teacher. The school has a fine reputation, and during the interview process I found the peo­ ple here were very fair, welcoming, and genuinely proud of their school. They were quite keen that I would like the experience here. Additionally, and most importantly, I sensed that the school has strong leadership and vision. Dulany Bennett, the Head of School, has a clear and strong vision for the school. Bill Lamb, Chair of the Science Department, has a driving ambition for the sciences at OES that includes an innovative research component and brand new facilities. I like that very much about this school - it gives the school a specific distinctiveness and passion." Peter was born in the northwest of England in the county of Lancashire. He went off to boarding school on an island north of Wales at the age of 8. “I found the experi­ ence to be extraordinarily nervewracking at first,” said Peter. “But the weight of generations was behind me. You accept it because this is what your parents, your grandparents, and their grandpar­ ents have done for generations before you." As a teacher, he has continued to be associated with independent schools, finding the environment suits him quite well. “I love the spirit of independent school teaching," said Peter. “I enjoy the variety, the contact with students and peers. It never gets boring." Peter loves teaching and the opportunity to possibly light a spark in one of his students. “You often have a day when a particular continued on page 6 COUNTING 5 OREGON EPISCOPAL SCHOOL �FALL/WINTER 2 0 0 0 Jack O’Brien continued from page 4 have to build it extra strong due to the fact that 240 kids are around and on it all the time. The positive side is that when we re-assemble the set over the weekend, the stu­ dents return on Monday to discov­ er a magical transformation, such as a two-story Athenian Hotel appearing out of nowhere. That’s nice because it attracts kids who may not have expressed any inter­ est in theater before to the activity or program. Unfortunately, the space is very confining.

When asked to look ahead 20 years to the year 2020, Jack says the first thing he sees is a retired Jack O’Brien. But he hopes that he will see the addition of a performing arts building for theater and music. “I’ve seen the art facili­ ties improve dramatically from the days in Scott House when we used dorm rooms for art studios,” said Jack. “I’d like to see the per­ forming arts have a permanent place to call home. But I hope that I will also see a school where stu­ dents continue to connect with their teachers the way they do now.

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

Although there is no “right way” to walk a labyrinth, most people find a pace and a purpose that suits their individual needs at the moment they step onto the path. The labyrinth is an ancient pattern found in many cultures and tradi­ tions throughout the world. They are often used for walking medita­ tion, and can be considered a metaphor for a journey, quest or pilgrimage. The Labyrinth is a spiri­ tual tool that helps reduce stress, quiet the mind and open the heart. The OES Community Labyrinth is now available for Open Walks on the second Monday of each month from 7 pm-8:30 pm.

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

The survey was designed to help us evaluate how our alumni perceive their experience at OES. When asked to give OES a grade for the quality of its performance, OES received an overall grade point average of 3.75, with 74% giving OES an “A” grade. When asked what they liked best about their experience at OES, the top five responses were: • Exceptional faculty and staff who are personable, interesting, nurturing and care deeply about their students. • Small class sizes resulting in individualized attention. • The manageable size of the school, resulting in a caring community most conducive for learning. • High quality and standards of the academic program, creating an envi­ ronment where knowledge and learning is emphasized, valued and respected. • The ability to establish personal relationships with teachers and other students. Additional highlights of the survey are summarized in the chart below. ■ Agree ■ Strongly agree OES met or exceeded my expectations. 97% OES education represents substantial value in relation to tuition costs. 77% OES prepares its students well for college and the future. 80% OES strives for the full development of its students. 75% OES helps students recognize potential and reach goals. 62% 38% OES provides an atmosphere for making friends and estab­ lishing lasting relationships. 67% 28% OES balances academic learning with spiritual growth. 31% o Our school’s long history some­ times makes this question more complicated than it needs to be. We consider anyone who attend­ ed Saint Helen’s Hall, Junior College, Bishop Dagwell Hall, or Oregon Episcopal School to be an alumnus. Graduating from the school is not a necessary step to becoming an alumnus!
