All through the months of November and December, the SAS alumni/ae havebeen receiving messages from their Class Agents, renewing old ties and exhortingthem to give a gift to the School during the fund year (July 1, 1983 to June 30,1984). From Frank Townsend '34 with the smallest class to Jill Phillips '83 with thelargest, the Class Agents have been writing notes to the members of their classes,sending a friendly "Hello," along with the encouragement to support the School.

Imagine the time, energy (and ink!) involved in personally contacting each of our1,815 active alumni/ae. Without the commitment and efforts of the Class Agents,it could not be done. With their help, it becomes not only an effective means of

THANK YOU!CLASS AGENTS...

raising needed funds for the School, but a way of keeping the members of a classin touch with one another.

So, to all the Class Agents, from Katie Kunz '81, who was the first to completeher work, to the team of Sandy Hance and John Pinney '61, to Jim Bacon '45 andLee Tawes '65, to Hicky Rowland '58 and J.D. Quillin '56, who personally deliveredtheir materials to the Alumni Office in order to meet the deadline, THANK YOU.On behalf of your classmates who have had the pleasure of hearing from you, andon behalf of the School which is seeing the fruits of your efforts arriving inhundreds of gift envelopes, a most hearty and sincere Vote of Appreciation!

The Swan's Song

—William H. Amos

A lake is the landscape's most beautifuland expressive feature. It is Earth's eye,looking into which the beholder measuresthe depth of his own nature.

—Henry David Thoreau

Living as I have for thirty-seven years onthe shore of Noxontown Pond, there sure-ly are enough memories even for a pryingbiologist to take away with him. But I'llbegin, and end, with a single experiencewhich, despite its rather recent occurrence,is the one most likely to remain secure.

In the last five years it has begun lateeach fall, often on an early mist-shroudedmorning as I walk the dogs. At first it is afaint, bugling call with flutelike overtones.The sound grows, but never loud, untilwith whispering wings the great whiteforms burst into view, streaming overheadagainst the luminous mist, so low I cansee the undulations of long outstretchednecks. The black-billed heads tilt as, I liketo think, each swan in turn inspects theclods of earthbound creatures below as itrushes past. The swirling mist envelopsthem one by one and the aerial flutesdiminish as they go over the point, head-ing for the far end of the pond.

I've been impressed by the huge num-bers of geese that settle upon NoxontownPond; once they came up the campusslope to cover (and fertilize) the main lawnby the thousands. I've watched bald eaglesattack ospreys over open water, forcing

them to drop their catch which then issnatched in mid-air. Long ago, when Ilived on A Corridor, I studied mergansersby the hour with binoculars from our bed-room window as they dove repeatedly justoff the T-dock. Great blue herons stakeout the coves by the half-dozen, standsolemnly on the spillway, skate across iceattempting to steal fish from herring gullssurrounding open water. Kingfishers rattleand dive along the shoreline, and barredowls make the evening woods surroundingthe pond echo with their hooting contests,ending in a low "hooo-ah." The frighten-ing squawks of night herons have raisedmy nape's hair more than once while I'vefelt my way along a dark shoreline trail.But the sound I love and keep close,whether I'll ever hear it again or not, isthe song of the swan.

A year ago Catherine and I were privi-leged to watch the great birds as they set-tled in by the hundreds at the far end ofthe pond. We would get up early, drive theFieldsboro road, then walk to the shore,approaching silently until, spread beforeus on the black water multitudes of mur-muring, brilliantly white swans gleamed inthe rising sun. As the hour wore on, adozen or so would talk more excitedly,then rush churning across the water, greatwings gulping in the still air until theywere airborne, the tumult now subsidinginto those lovely fluting calls as theyswept low over the trees at the far bank.

Now, what else? There were the earlyyears with new student friends, John andGeorge, one of whom has long been a

professor of zoology at a fine university.We slogged through marsh mud, caughtthe first pond plankton I was to see here,and in general had a merry educationaltime. There was Nick, the most talentedsnake-catcher I've ever known. Not sincehis time have I been able to say to a stu-dent, "Please go out and get me a snake,"and be sure that in half an hour I'd haveone or three, even those elusive vile-tempered Eastern water snakes.

Books state that bullfrogs don't scream,but one night Hall and I were deep intoPell's Cove, zeroing in on a harrumpingbullfrog and, when he reached over andgrasped it around the belly, it shrilled themost piercing, terrifying scream I've everheard. Hall was so startled he froze, thescreamer securely clamped; we popped itinto a bag, took it back to the lab andthere, before each dinner (for the lab wasthen next to the dining hall), he or Iwould invite passersby in and treat themto an ear-splitting scream on demand. Hallforsook zoology as he went on to practicemedicine; I trust those he works with nowdon't scream at his hands.

Each time I go on the pond I am re-minded of earlier forays with studentfriends: Fenner, who began with pondbiology and also took it eventually tomedicine; Chip built wood duck boxes inevery cove (he later banded swans innorthern Alaska) and Will followed him,keeping the boxes in repair although now,alas, they are tended no longer, gone orfallen into the pond. Jim took deep mudcores in transects across the pond bottom

and mapped its contours while Dexter, afew years after, set up a tissue culture labof rare sophistication. Both went with meas summer assistants to a research labora-tory and both went on to secure their doc-torates, one in marine ecology and theother in anthropology. Their present-daycounterpart, Hugo, has the whole worldof science ahead to contemplate and tochoose from, not just molluscan and crus-tacean ethology that now occupies him.

A parenthetical note: In print before thepublic eye, I forego some of the names bywhich I knew my old student friends indeference to their present-day dignity:"Wormbait," "Stump," "Wedgehead,"and the like. But I remember these nameswith clarity and affection, for back inthose days they fit.

Harrison was always the grubbiest ofmy co-workers. He went into any mud,any muck, any time, anywhere. By purebrute effort he came up with the moststartling finds, some zoological, some not:old bike parts, for example. And therewas Hume, now an ambassador in a peril-ous part of the world, but still safer thanhe was one hot spring day long ago. I wassupervising swimming when I was hailedby two nearly bare boys coming across thepond in the ancient dugout canoe (it waslater stolen, recognized by someone forthe museum piece it was). Hume was sit-ting oddly, not on a thwart, but on amassive something, bare legs straddled outin front of it. They drew close and Igasped for there, tangled in an old tornnet, was the most massive snapping turtle

I have ever seen, and surely the angriest.Only a few strands of net prevented thegreat shearing jaws from clamping onhuman flesh. Reflecting many years later,as Hume's daughter Margy sat in myzoology class, I thought her presencemight truly be due to the miraculousstrength of an old bit of net.

That snapper had a short and interest-ing history while attending St. Andrew's.He weighed about thirty-eight pounds, Ilearned later that day, and took up a briefresidence in our bathtub on A Corridor.My son Bill, then only two years old,visited him and leaned over to pat thehuge shell, saying "Nice turtle," as thebeady little eyes rolled up at him. A quickmaternal arm swept the child away and aloud wifely command informed me I hadto find other quarters for the monster.But not before the next morning whenWaldy brought by a Chinese bishop tomeet us. As soon as he was in our livingroom, the bishop asked directions to thebathroom and Waldy, his immediate help-ful self, pointed the way. The bishop dis-appeared, then reappeared very quicklyindeed and left the premises at once, fore-going any further social amenities. Laterin the day the snapper went on public dis-play in the flooded well of an areawayoutside the chaplain's office (a continuingaffinity for the clergy?) where the commu-nity visited him repeatedly for a week. Butthen we hauled him out, took him downthe bank to within twenty feet of theshoreline and watched him lumber towardthe safety of the water, hissing all the way.

Bill was the first of our five children toexplore ponds with me. The effect of suchtrips seems to have infused in all both re-spect and love for the natural world. Julieand Alison can examine aquatic spiderswithout flinching; Bob is an explorationgeologist who sees more lakes and pondsthan I ever will; and Steve is a profession-al ornithologist focusing upon waterfowl,an interest that began as he watched geese,ducks and swans behind our house.

One year a group of us built the SASHydra, or the bug-barge, in the backyardof the house where we have lived fortwenty-five years. It was christened bydaughter Julie with a beer bottle of muddypond water and from then until now it hascarried generations of St. Andreans onslow trips up and down the pond, sam-pling plankton, water chemistry, thebottom and luckless fishes. We had agenerator aboard for a few years, until ittoo vanished, and we would go out atnight with a floodlight mounted on thedavit, cruising across the still water illumi-nating the banks and catching occasionalwild coals of eyes in the light. I found thebest viewing perch on top of a stepladderplaced upon a large chest in the center ofthe barge. There I was in the dark, a doz-en feet or more above the pond silhouettedby floodlight, apparently floating in air.

across the way and the pond served as asounding board. Coerte Voorhees, classi-cist, beloved crew coach and uninhibitedspirit, occasionally fired shotgun blastsover the lake from his backyard to add tothe festivities, while Doc Combs up thepond unleashed his muzzle-loading can-non. Ah yes, the parties—those on ourside of the pond: summer nights on thehigh bank behind Margaret and DickHillier's house where he prepared thedeadliest mint juleps this side of Virginia,slipping them into us under the warm glowof dozens of paper lanterns swaying fromlines across his yard. We would later trywalking on water and, for all I remember,possibly did.

The pond is a treasure. I mean it. Thisyear the Fresh Water Biology class isproving once again that it is an aquaticworld more complex than our joint dozen-plus lifetimes could possibly unravel. Oneglimpse of Eliza's submerged slides onwhich beautiful stalked and tentacled roti-fers have settled, or a look under Robin'sbusy duckweed community, or Kurt'sworld of heavily populated bottom sedi-ments, or a slippery trip along Eliot'salgae-covered spillway, or even an unap-petizing glance into the contents of Bob'sfishes' stomachs reveal worlds withinworlds supported by this one pond. If Ihad a single joint wish for myself and thepond, it is that I should remain here formore years, freed of all School functionsother than to work exclusively with stu-dent colleagues, summer and winter—perhaps at a pondside lab—trying to eli-minate at least a little of the ignorance Ifeel after three dozen years of pond-watching. But of course, at the end ofthat time, I'd still be dissatisfied.

I've walked this pond in every possibleway, at every season: slogged along muddyshoreline paths, slipping and falling head-long into murky water; walked across it inblinding snowstorms when the forestedbanks and the world beyond completelydisappeared; I've skated its entire lengthon the most beautiful, flawlessly black icepossible within the laws of physics; I'vestudied its bottom when twice it was near-ly drained bare, and watched with dismayas fish kills occurred when algal bloomsturned its water to sickly wine or blazinggreen. I am able to contrast a lazy, warmsummer afternoon spent in a canoe tuckeddeep within a quiet cove ablaze with emer-gent flowers to a mid-winter day, zippedinto wet suit, hood and gloves, underneaththick ice, peering up at the frozen ceilingand the small living things bumping alongthere.. .and waiting to be pulled out, legsfirst, by a student or two. There is alwaysthe day in fall when the foliage is morebrilliant than an artist's palette, reflectedin glassy water and etched against a deepblue and cloudless sky, but never morethan one day a year, one which challengesus to identify it and to get out on thewater before the day's end.

"The pond is a teacher. I havelearned more from it than fromany other single entity of theworld ecosystem. The extraor-dinary lives it contains, manyof which are seen by only aprivileged few in the world ofscience, are as beautiful and hi-zarre as imagination permits."

And the pond is a teacher. I havelearned more from it than from any othersingle entity of the world ecosystem. Theextraordinary lives it contains, many ofwhich are seen by only a privileged few inthe world of science, are as beautiful andbizarre as imagination permits. Perhapsthe greatest reward of teaching otherswhat the pond has taught me is to comeback to the lab some evening or weekendand find a student hunched over bowl ormicroscope, staring and watching, mutter-ing quietly, "Wow," oblivious to mypresence. Or precisely now, as I write latein my office before bedtime, to have oneenter and tell excitedly what he saw in to-day's collection, an astonishing telescopingaquatic creature he had to share withsomeone else.

Don't read too much into this excur-sion's title: it's no swan song for me, sinceI'll be tramping around and floatingacross many ponds to come, mostly thosenear our Vermont home. The objectiveobserver, comparing those with Noxon-town, would surely find the New Englandones more beautiful, probably healthier,certainly clearer. Yet appearances do notfor affection make, at least when one iscomfortable with a pond as an old, oldfriend. I am comfortable with NoxontownPond, yet it has withheld most of itsmysteries from me and I know only a littlemore than I did when I first waded intoits shallows in 1947. More than one and ahalf thousand students have spent timewith me in zoology, biology, a series ofminor courses or recreational hours look-ing at this extraordinary aquatic world. Itis only a rather small, shallow, muddycoastal plain mill pond, nearing two and ahalf centuries old, but for many of us it isone of the special places on earth. Alumniwalk back to its shores with their wivesand children and, memories intact, recallswinging out on the old rope before itfinally broke, or "accidentally" capsizingan eight on a blistering hot day when thecoach was around the point, or catchingsight of handsome red-belly terrapins asthey slid glistening back into the waterfrom a fallen tree trunk where theybasked.

St. Andrew's was placed precisely herebecause of the pond and for that we areforever thankful. It means much to all ofus, but to this biologist who has lookedbeneath its surface for so many years, itpossesses a wonder words can neverconvey. Photographs help, and I havemore of them than I can cope with, but itis the mind's eye and the mind's ear thatrecord the pond best. And of this trove ofimages and sounds within a single head, itis the swan's song that tells it all, the flut-ing bugle that fills the heart. D

Ed. Note: Bill Amos will retire at the endof this year after teaching at St. Andrew'sfor the past 37 years.

Alumni Assist Growthin Admissions

Admissions — Healthy Harvest

—John Niles, Director of Admissions

Earth's increase, foison plentyBarns and garners never empty

Ceres' blessing given to the youthful lovers in the Tempest assures Ferdinand andMiranda that abundance and plentitude will accompany their future. Though neitherCeres nor Juno has visited my office recently, the crop of students entered in each of thelast several years seems to be blessed, if possibly, by lesser Gods!

In short, we have never been busier in Admissions. The quality of the candidates seemsto be improving with every new entry. Recruiting efforts in the form of parent teas, par-ticipation in school-sponsored fairs and school visitations have generated interest, as havedirect alumni/ae and parent referrals. If the word is not out among the immortals, itappears to be spreading elsewhere.

Five interviewers now handle the flow of families coming to the School. In the last fouryears campus interviews have almost doubled. Applications, which generally grow withincreased visits, have also increased by nearly 10% since '78-'79. In rather startling con-trast to economic trends, demographic shifts and other would-be negative factors, Admis-sions at St. Andrew's remains healthy, very selective and a great deal of fun.

Alumni children and younger brothers and sisters of current students are bringingfamiliar (parent) faces back to campus. Presently, 15 alumni sons and daughters, 36brothers and sisters and 19 siblings of recent graduates are here in the '83-'84 studentbody. In the last several years, a significant rise in alumni interest for their children hasbeen very gratifying to witness. To an even greater degree, alumni/ae have been activelytalking about St. Andrew's and that word-of-mouth reputation has figured very signifi-cantly in our growth. Keep up the good work!

Coeval with our progress, we have become more travel conscious and aggressive in ourefforts to develop new fields of candidates. Admissions soirees this fall in Easton, Pitts-burgh, Buffalo, Erie, Annapolis and Washington, D.C. have already been well attended.Further efforts in Dallas and San Antonio are slated for this winter. Harvesting fromthese fields will, in all likelihood, bring further talent and diversity to the campus in theyears to come.

Finally (if also parenthetically), I submit that the corny metaphor carried through thispiece is indeed just that! I by no means feel the School facilities remind one of barns orgarners, though some of the corridor masters might disagree at times! When you comeback to campus, you will be struck by its beauty as visiting families invariably are. Andwhen you come back, you, too, will be reminded of how blessed we are here at St.Andrew's.

Fall V and JV Sports' RecordsFinest in YearsThe overall performances of the St. Andrew's athletic teams wereextraordinary this fall. The Varsity and JV squads in all sportsproduced an overall record of 54-47-13.

Entering the last week in October, fivevarsity teams were in the running for StateTournament invitations. The women's andmen's cross-country teams ran in the StateMeet and the volleyball team earned theright to represent the IndependentConference.

The St. Andrew's volleyball team de-feated Friends, San ford, Tatnall andTower Hill twice each during the regularseason, but lost to a powerful Christianateam in the first round of the States. Itwas a strong showing by the first St.Andrew's team to go to the State Tourna-ment. Lauren McKee '85 received the mostimproved player award; Lela Demby '84and Cassie Campbell '84 received theCoach's Award; the co-captains AnneHorton '84 and Maylene Hugh '84 wereselected as the team's most valuableplayers.

The best varsity fall season was recordedby the field hockey team, which posted a9-1-3 mark. Although St. Andrew's missedqualifying for the State Tournament byone point to Friends (who dethronedTower Hill, the State Champions the pre-vious three years), they were undefeatedin the conference, placed second in theconference to Tower Hill and defeated theeventual Delaware State Champions,

Friends, 4-2. Missy Miller '85, who scored14 goals this season, and Kathy Hart '85received the MVP Award while co-captainsLou O'Brien '84 and Nada Saliba '84 werethe recipients of the Coaches' Award.

The soccer team, which lost most of lastseason's team at graduation, built a strongunit from last year's successful JV squad.The Cardinals defeated and tied Sanford,lost and tied Tatnall, split with Tower Hilland defeated Friends twice. The final losseliminated St. Andrew's from the States,but did not detract from an excellentshowing by a team predicted in pre-seasonpolls to finish last. Co-captain AlanAikens '84 won the MVP Award and wasselected to the All-Conference 1st Team aswas Jay Blum '84; co-captain BradHamilton '84 and Pier Friend '84 were2nd Team All-Conference choices. PierFriend received the most improved playeraward while Jay Blum was presented thisyear's Coaches' Award.

The women's and men's cross-countryteams consistently ran against strong com-petition all fall. The women's team de-feated Westtown for its lone victory of theseason, but ran well in the States, placingllth out of 22 teams. Dedja Stancioff '85was the outstanding runner this year andMargo Ellis '86, the most improved

runner. The men's team was hit hard byinjuries, but managed to win five races(three other races were determined by oneplace, which was most frustrating). Thesquad placed llth out of 13 in the Statesand was led by Desh Hindle '85, theteam's most valuable runner, and MaxTerry '85, the most improved runner.

The football team, although not winninga game this year, made significant im-provement, gaining more yards than anyteam in the past three years. The seniorleadership was outstanding, and with 23returning lettermen next year, a much im-proved JV record and a strong commit-ment to the program by 32 underclass-men, there is a great deal of optimism andenthusiasm already generated for the 1984season. Co-captain Dave McNaughton '84was the team's MVP and Norberto Rosas'84 was the outstanding defensive player.Both were 1st Team All-Conference selec-tions as was place kicker Brian Kotz '86.This year's Coaches' Award was presentedto co-captains Chuck Schumacher '84,Dave McNaughton and the entire 41-mansquad for their dedication, enthusiasmand positive attitude throughout the entireseason.

SAS Joins Peace Corps Effort To Provide Clean Water ForCosta Rican Village

The villagers of Palomo, Costa Rica, areaverting a dangerous health hazard, thanksto the efforts of a Peace Corps volunteerand the students and faculty of St.Andrew's.

Peace Corps volunteer David Locksin,from Canton, Ohio, acted as the catalystthat brought the School and the people ofPalomo together to clean up the village'swater supply.

Palomo, a small coffee-growing com-munity on the banks of the ReventazonRiver in Costa Rica, has struggled with awater sanitation problem for years. Thethree water tanks that store the village'swater supply are leaky, and the pipes thatcarry the water from the tanks into thevillage are corroded. The resulting impuri-ties in the water pose a serious health

hazard to about 75 households. Workingwith community leaders, Locksin deviseda plan to repair the system.

Locksin sought help from the PeaceCorps Partnership Program, which linksinterested individuals and organizations inthe U.S. with communities in developingnations that need their help. Through theprogram, the students and faculty of St.Andrew's became partners with the peopleof Palomo. The School pledged $1,700 tohelp clean up the village's water supplysystem.

In return for its contribution, the Schoolwill receive frequent progress reports onthe project, the opportunity for cross-cultural exchange with the villagers, andthe lasting friendship of the community.

This year's second annual Christmas cele-bration was very special. In addition to acarol sing in the Common Room, theSocial Activities Committee decorated anenormous evergreen with Christmas lightsand began the evening's celebrations out-side around the tree.

The idea originated with faculty advisorMarc Cheban and chairman of the SocialActivities Committee, Lou O'Brien. Theirdream would never have come true with-out the generosity of Mr. and Mrs.Edward Higgins (parents of Meg '76),who donated 35 strings of lights, enoughto cover the entire tree. Mr. Higgins alsoprovided a cherry-picker, a marvelousmachine which enabled Mr. Cheban toreach all the way to the tip of the 50-foottree.

A 8 o'clock Saturday evening, December10th, the entire St. Andrew's communitygathered around the tree in the garth area.As they sang "Oh Christmas Tree," Mr.Cheban flicked the switch. All were en-chanted by the dazzling spectacle of the875 multi-colored lights. EBO'B

Ward Wallace Retires

After twenty-six years' service to St.Andrew's, Ward Wallace—maintenanceman, boat medic and especially friend—says "so long." As he said in an assembly,and as the quotation affirms, this goodbyeis a hard one to say.

Every spring for these past twenty-sixyears the small boathouse has served asWard Wallace's headquarters. His skilland dexterity in repairing St. Andrew'sshells has helped us to many a victory.

As a friend, Ward has been unequalled.Before every tough practice and race hegave us incentive. After a tough loss hewas always there with a supportive smile;and after an exhilerating win, it was aboisterous "yahoo!" to the victors. To seehis grin after the 1983 women's varsityboat won the Ward Wallace Cup made all

"/ now realize how lucky I amto know people who make say-ing goodbye so damned awful."

the work worthwhile. When the 1983men's first boat beat Kent School in theKershaw Cup, his huge smile inducedpride in all the rowers.

We will miss all his smiles, hugs and in-spiring poems of hard rowing and victory.But, as he said, he will be back because heloves us. If we, and all who came beforeus, could show our gratitude, it wouldhave to be in a simple and resounding"THANK YOU;" he probably would notaccept anything else.

A Moslem's Life in Saudi ArabiaOliver van Petten '40 writes about his life in Saudi Arabia as abusinessman, family man and devout Moslem.

My day in Jeddah begins near 4:30 a.m.with the shuffling of my friends and neigh-bors through the courtyard. I hear the oc-casional cough, the clearing of throatdown below because I, too, am alreadyup. They call softly up to me, "Omar,Omar, time for prayer." (Omar is myMoslem name.) Then conies the morningcall to prayer from the nearby mosque. Akind of wave of awakening cries has beensweeping from the East as the sun is get-ting ready to rise there. This wave ofawakening noises will sweep on past us inJeddah and on into the Sudan and Africaand eight hours later be repeated in NorthAmerica. Suffice it to say that the morn-ing prayer is an accounting of the people—for those who are present, it is short.Most go back to their homes and go tobed; some stay in the mosque to readQor'an, and some read Qor'an when theyget back to their nearby homes. Some-times I read Qor'an, but I find that theconstant shuffle between Riyadh andJeddah tires me.

I have a pleasant household in Jeddahin the old section known as Baghdadieh,coming from the word Baghdad. I am inJeddah usually from Wednesday afternoonuntil first thing Saturday morning. (This isthe weekend in Arabia—Thursday andFriday are the days off for some; somehave only Friday.) I have an apartment inRiyadh and I am there usually from Sat-urday until Wednesday noon. I say usual-ly, because if the government moves toJeddah as it does when the King is there,I move too, and soon this time of year thegovernment will be moving to the moun-tain resort of Taif.

Jeddah is a nighttime city; there are al-ways late suppers, interminable Majlis(meetings) from which one cannot escape,and so I sleep in until about eight o'clockin the morning. By then the calls havebegun. Ah, that is another matter—thetime differential is eight hours from NewYork and eleven from California, so thecalls from America come to Arabia in thenight. Often I spend several hours duringthe night receiving calls and taking theaction these calls require. The local callsbegin usually about 8 a.m. They give ad-ditional shape to the way the day is goingto be. This means the agenda is full by thetime I go into the office at ten o'clock.

Like most Saudi families, it is the hus-band and father who works in Riyadhwhile the family continues living in Jeddahor Taif or wherever in order to give con-tinuity to school and the other social sys-tems. My family does not like to live inRiyadh and I am not especially fond of iteither.

In Jeddah I usually pray the noonprayer at one of the big downtownmosques where many of my friends andassociates pray. Unfortunately, we are allrushed, so there is hardly time to greeteach other because there is much to bedone before two o'clock, the usual closingtime of the offices. I hardly ever manageto get out before 3 p.m., a source of fric-tion at home because it means lunch, thebig meal of the day, has been keptwaiting.

Most offices and businesses of Arabiawork a schedule of from ten until two andthen reopen about six and work until tenin the evening. This makes for four trafficjams a day! Uneasy compromises havebeen made; some offices run from eightstraight through to five. Others, notablythe university of Jeddah, begin aboutseven o'clock in the morning and end attwo in the afternoon. On the wholethough, traffic jams notwithstanding, theArabian schedule works best because theintrastructure of living is geared to that.

For example, the fresh hot bread thatno Arab could live without, is ready justat two o'clock in the afternoon; it comesout of the oven then. At two o'clock inthe afternoon, the attention of all Arabiais on the local bakery. Everyone has hisfavorite; some produce just fresh hotbread, but others produce luscious roundcushions of whole wheat bread that is ir-resistible. My attention, too, turns to thebakeries at two o'clock and I hope some-one has followed my orders and has got-ten a whole lot of these loaves and putthem in my car so I can take them homewith me.

In Saudi Arabia one has to have drivers.I hardly ever drive myself in Jeddah orRiyadh because the traffic is too frustrat-ing and there's never any place to park.Furthermore, the women do not drive, sothe children have to be sent and fetchedand then taken to their lessons afterschool. (Some of my children are learning

Qor'an, some are learning swimming, oneis learning piano and another is learningFrench.) Thousands of things have to begotten from the souk and the ladies liketo visit their sisters. Some of the ladies aretaking night courses at the university. In-cidentally, two of the most popularcourses for women at the university aremathematics and computer.

After a large lunch, I rest and talk withmy family privately and usually pray themid-afternoon prayer in my family quar-ters. The phones are off in that area dur-ing this time, too. By the sunset prayer,which may be about five-thirty in winter,I am dressed and go to the local mosqueto pray. From there I take the car directlyinto town for meetings and wind up at theoffice sometime towards eight. We sendout for some supper at about ten andoften it is midnight or later before I gethome.

About the same schedule goes on inRiyadh, though this is dominated by thegovernment. For example, the Council ofMinisters meets on Monday evening; thiscan be a very hectic day and evening.There are many protocol matters, recep-tions, decrees, etc., that keep one verybusy. Right now, we are getting ready forRamadhan (the month of fasting) to begin.The government is moving from Riyadh tothe offices in Jeddah and Taif and theKing has gone to Geneva to rest beforeRamadhan begins. The ministers are usual-ly where the King is unless officially sentelsewhere.

I prefer to spend Ramadhan in Arabia.Night becomes day and day becomes sleep-time. We get up about three in the morn-ing and have a very large meal. (I eat a lotof grains, dates and raisins and drink gal-lons of tea.) This meal is called suhoorand is a vital necessity because it is the lastbit of food or drink until just the minuteafter sunset, which is now about eighto'clock in the evening. We really do sleepin after the fajr prayer during Ramadhanbecause we have been up most of thenight. We go to mosque at the sunsetprayer and break the fast with dates andorange juice. We pray the sunset prayer,called salat al-maghreb, and then we havea large dinner. After everyone has feastedreally well, we listen to some Qor'anic

A Collector's Life in Saudi ArabiaJohn M. Topham '38 returned from his first trip to Saudi Arabialaden with rugs; each trip he added more items and now hiscollection wows museums.

When John Topham '38 went to SaudiArabia for the first time in 1977, thebrightly colored and patterned native rugssold on street corners caught his eye. Theself-employed construction-managementconsultant from Pittsford, N.Y., boughtsome and then began to notice older rugs.

John said it wasn't long before "I waspiling them up in my hotel room until Ilooked like I was some kind of merchant."He went back to Saudi Arabia the follow-ing year and this time "brought backweavings and a few other things—jewelry,etcetera—that were related to each other."

The pieces John collects are older than1950 and of consistently higher qualitythan newer work. They were made withthe techniques and materials of a disap-pearing way of life.

As his collection grew, so did his curi-osity. Back in America in 1978, John said,"I tried to find books on it. I called mu-seums, but nobody knew anything. I visit-ed The Textile Museum in Washington—they're the greatest authority—and theygot very enthusiastic."

In the five years since his interest innative rugs was piqued, he has built up a

collection that is so nearly complete andunique that it was the basis of a show atthe Memorial Art Gallery of the Universityof Rochester in March, 1982. About 80percent of the show's pieces come fromJohn's collection.

To demonstrate the role crafts alsoplayed in village and desert life, Johnbrought together more than 200 objects—everything from brass pots for the coffeeritual, to baskets and jewelry. And therewas also a 50-foot Arabian tent made ofblack goat hair.

44Very few of these objects were justfunctional. Decoration was just as impor-tant to the Arabian weaver. But her ideaof perfection was different from ours.These were not heirloom pieces like thecoverlets we pass down from generation togeneration. The weaver's concern for per-fection was: does it work? does it do itsjob?" said Celia Wright, a graduate weav-ing student at the Rochester Institute ofTechnology.

"The women who embroidered andwove had hard, hot, dusty lives," Johnsaid.

The research is John's, too. As hestudied and began to group the objects inhis collection, what he was learning grewinto a 192-page book with 262 colorplates, which Stacey International, aLondon publisher, brought out in thespring of 1982. Both the show and thebook are titled Traditional Crafts of SaudiArabia.

Before long, a collection like John's willnot be available, since the objects he hastaken out of the country are increasinglyrare.

John has no immediate plans to add tohis collection, but would "love to go backto Saudi Arabia on a social basis."

recitation by some of the really greatscholars that abound in Jeddah or oftenwe go out to Makkah and listen to therecitation in the Grand Mosque, AlHaram. (It is less than an hour's easydrive by freeway.)

We maintain a small apartment inMakkah as many people do because youjust can't find any satisfactory room in ahotel during the rush times. Also there isno place to park. Quite often during theordinary times of the year, we drive out toMakkah about three-thirty in the morning,pray the Fajr prayer there and then makethe tawaf.

The tawaf is walking seven timescounter-clockwise around the ka'aba* the

big stone cube built by Abraham and re-stored by Abraham and his son Ishmael,and then seven times running a little bitbetween the slight elevations that are allthat remain of the hills of Sa'fa andMarwah between which Hagar, Ishmael'sslave mother, ran looking for water forher infant son. The water that bubbled upunderneath him is the mineral springcalled Zam Zam that gushes forth withgreat strength and volume, even to thisday. When we have finished with thetawaf and the sa'iy, which is what thegoing between the two hills is called (actu-ally it is a tiled gallery about a mile longnow, enclosed and brightly lit for peopleto make their visits to Al Haram at all

hours of day and night), we drink someZam Zam water from some of the orangeplastic jugs that are everywhere through-out al-Haram and fill some gallon cans totake the Zam Zam water back to Jeddahwith us. We leave Makkah before the mobstarts filling the place for the Fridayprayer. By ten o'clock in the morning,Makkah will be packed, but we are backin Jeddah where I go to Friday prayer bywalking the short distance to our neigh-borhood mosque.

At the mosque I listen to a diatribe thatcan get fairly socialistic, certainly it is fullof human and humane concerns. Theimam, who delivers the diatribe, is Egyp-

Jim and his wife, artist AudreyRooney, were treated to a trip toGermany and a week in Essen forthe biennial "Equitann," a week-long festival of the horse, where hewas presented the award statue.

After the festival, the Rooney straveled to Cologne, Aachen, Berne,Munich and Berlin.

Five or six years ago, Jim says, hewent to work for ICI Americas,safety-testing drugs. He finds thedrug-testing work repetitive androutine compared with research hehas done with universities. So, saysJim, he is returning to academia.

Delaware State Arts Council features paintings of Thomas Wilson '65and photographs of Tim Bayard '62 in their December show.

Thomas R. Wilson IV '65 paintsdrag queens, gospel singers andhouses. Thomas F. Bayard IV '62photographs the silence and beautyof the Brandywine landscape.

They make an artistic odd coupleat their two-man show in the Dela-ware State Arts Council's MezzanineGallery.

Both men share similar back-grounds. They're in their late 30's;they come from old Delaware fami-lies; they attended St. Andrew'sSchool.

But the similarities end there.Tom enjoys painting people andtheir environments, but Tim prefersimages of nature. Tim came to pho-tography as an adult, whereas Tomtraces his desire to paint tochildhood.

Tom still remembers those days atSt. Andrew's when the only time hecould paint was Saturday afternoonsduring sports contests. Sometimesthe seniors would rout him from hisart and force him to come to gamesand cheer.

Still, Tom persisted with hispainting and finished high schoolwith an award for excellence in artat the Moses Brown School in Prov-idence, R.I. He then graduated fromthe Rhode Island School of Designwith a bachelor's degree in fine arts.

To support his artistic efforts,Tom became a successful model onthe fringes of the Warhol crowd. Helived in Greenwich Village for sevenyears. He then changed his base toParis for the next four years.

Now Tom lives a quiet life inLewes where he concentrates on theone important thing in his life,painting.

Tim came to his art—black andwhite photography—via Vietnamwhere he was with the Army of En-gineers and served as a photogra-pher. A U.S. Army CommendationMedal was awarded to Tim for hiswork.

Two of his Vietnam photographswere on display at the gallery. Timcalls them "very personal," espe-cially "Still Life, Republic of Viet-nam," showing his helmet hangingon the end of a bayonet and hisbunker.

The usual subjects of his photo-graphs are parks, Quaker meetinghouses and the Brandywine River.

Tim lives in Wilmington andworks as a free-lance photographer.

Many of my own employees also attendthis mosque since it is the custom for em-ployees to attend the mosque of their em-ployer. And it is not unknown for thisimam to bring up a company issue anddiscourse at length on its Islamic aspects.

Friday afternoon, along with the rest ofJeddah, we head for the beach. There is alarge estuary to the north of Jeddah whichis perfect for water-skiing and that's whatI do all afternoon. We stay for supper andreturn home through the eternal trafficjam of Jeddah to probably catch the 7:30a.m. flight to Riyadh the next morning.

Saudi Arabia only functions aboutthree-quarters of the year at most; every-one bails out during the summer heat. Weused to go to England and to Greece a lot,but now the Saudis have a convenientnonstop flight, Jeddah to New York, sowe often come to North America. The Pil-grimage or Hajj is when everyone recon-venes back in "The Kingdom," but as theHajj gets earlier and earlier, people aredelaying their returns until afterward.

Jeddah, of course, is a mob scene dur-ing Hajj; the airport is clogged with planeslanding every other minute. One thinksabout staying abroad and then suddenlyall one's friends start coming home. Every-one we haven't seen in a long time is going

to be there—the house full of friends, rel-atives and people we're not quite surewhere they come from (relatives of the ser-vants maybe?)—and so there we are. Thewhole round starts over again.

Do I ever ride a camel? No, and I don'tknow anyone who does. But camels doroam around a lot. The roads of theHejaz, the main roads, are fenced offfrom the camels for the most part, but theroads of the interior and the eastern prov-ince are not. If you hit a camel going atthe high speeds Saudis drive in the desert,it is final usually for both parties becausethe bulk of the camel is high enough tocome crashing through the windshield. Ifit is any consolation, the law is that thecamel's,owner is liable if his camel gets hitoutside the cities; he is supposed to keepit off the roads. But if you hit a camel inthe city, then you are liable because pre-sumably the camel was under control tohave been doing his business there!

Do I like it? I love it, obviously. Thepeople are great—kind, gentle, courteous.There's hardly any crime—nothing getsstolen, none of the hostility that is thenorm in New York.

I wonder what the above might mean tothose who read the SAS Bulletin, to thoseboys and girls who now study at St.Andrew's. What it says to me is that themoral values I developed at St. Andrew'sor that St. Andrew's developed in me havebeen a sustaining and productive force all

my life. The value of a moral behaviorwas a tradition in my family, and is verymuch so in the family which I have helpedto continue. The moral values added tothe intellectual values (the study of theclassics with Voorhees' Greek and Latin,Fleming's French and yes, Schmolze'sGerman, Jon Large's English and Pell'sSacred Studies) broadened a base that wasalready fairly solid. I knew then that Iwanted to experience the world first handand these seemed the tools for thisexperience.

It will come as no surprise to my class-mates, especially Tom Bright, Bill Sibertand Ogden Gorman, that my natural incli-nation to Christianity that was so evidentat St. Andrew's and cultivated by WaldenPell and Jon Large has evolved on into anequally natural inclination toward Islam.Left to its own devices, this is what aserious study of Christianity can growinto. You asked me about my life inArabia so I will reserve the comments onIslam for another piece, perhaps to becalled, "What Every Good ChristianShould Know About Islam." The study ofIslam does indeed enrich one's under-standing of Christianity and vice versa.The message of Islam is that the messageof God is eternal, unchanging; it is themessage of the Oneness of God, the com-passion for the Universe, the God-forcecreated, the Eternal Life and accountabili-ty for one's action.

GIFTS TO ST. ANDREWS SCHOOLI

Ways to give that will benefit both StJ^ndrew's and You

Gifts from St. Andrew's alumni and friends have become themost important source of private support for the School, pro-viding a crucial margin of financial backing as the School pur-sues excellence in all its programs, faculty and facilities. Un-restricted gifts, of course, are especially important becausethey provide the flexibility the School must have toto planned or unexpected financial needs at the School. Giftsdirected to specific programs or departments are also mostwelcome.

You may give to St. Andrew's in several ways, choosi^fe^jthe method that will provide maximum benefits for both yafyand the School. Listed below are some of the types of gift^that have been used by thoughtful donors to make theimitments to St. Andrew's:

• Cash• Securities• Bequest

• Life Insurance• Personal Property• Closely-held Stock

Several of the types of gifts listed above have very favorabletax and economic benefits for the donor and his or herfamily. The School's staff is ready to work with you and youradvisors to formulate a strategy of giving that is helpful to ;

you and to St. Andrew's.

Gifts of Securities—the plain facts, tax advantagesA substantial tax advantage is available to the donor wh

gives securities which have appreciated in value. CharitabLcontributions of long-term securities (held for 12 months o!more) are deductible at their full market value. While the |total deduction may not exceed 30% of adjusted gross icome, any excess beyond this limit can be carried forwanfive years. The donor thus avoids paying a capital gainson the appreciation of the stock when the securities adirectly to the School.

For example, were you to donate securities whi$500 and which are now worth $1,000, you may dhigher amount without paying capital gains tax oment as you would be required to pay if you electsthe stocks. In other words, you can make a gift ofworth $1,000 to St. Andrew's and deduct the fullthe gift in preparing your federal tax return, evjyou only paid $500 for the stocks.

Making your giftGifts of securities can be made in two ways. The first is

the most commonly used and considered the most expedient,but both ways are acceptable.

1. You may send the unendorsed stock certificates directlyto John M. Niles, Director of Development, St. Andrew'sSchool, Middletown, DE 19709, accompanied by a lettergiving your name and address and stating the purpose of thegift. Stock powers should be sent under separate cover witha copy of the letter that accompanied the certificates. Sincethe certificates become negotiable only when joined with the

8%tock powers, this method is both safe and simple. Stockla^apver forms are available from banks or brokerages.

2. You may elect to place the securities with a broker, bankor other agent to be held for St. Andrew's School. We re-quest that you call the School in this instance, notifying theDevelopment Office. St. Andrew's will in turn instruct thebroker or agent about the sale or delivery of the stock. Youshould advise the Development Office by letter as to the

C^ purpose of the gift.

^Bequests,; |fn recent years the School has been notified of its placement

F \v|n the wills of thoughtful and generous alumni and friends ofSchool. As more and more alumni establish estate plans

revise their wills, the School hopes they will be ever-mind-of the lasting significance of gifts made by bequest to the
