How a vacation home became a scholarship fund.How a vacation home became a scholarship fund.

George and Sandra Fearons always had the

highest regard for New Hampton School. Their son,

George Fearons ’92, got his start at nhs and inspired

a successful career in sales. George and Sandra want-

ed to help New Hampton School and did so by mak-

ing a gift of real estate—a vacation home in Lovell,

Maine. With help from George and Sandra, New

Hampton School sold this home and used the proceeds to establish The George

and Sandra Fearons Endowed Scholarship Fund.

“New Hampton School had a wonderful impact on our son’s life,” said Fearons.

“Sandra would be delighted to know that our home in Maine was transformed into

a scholarship fund at nhs. We are grateful for the experience that nhs gave our son

and we are thrilled to give back in this way.”

You, too, can help make the New Hampton School experience a reality for a

needy student by donating property, including homes and land, or by gifting stock

to the school. For more information or gift ideas, please contact Sandy Colhoun at

[email protected] or call directly at 603.677.3413.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� Back in the day, you sewed your own team logo onto your uni-

form, in addition to supplying everything else but the game

deld. Today, New Hampton School athletes can focus on the

game itself, thanks in part to the Annual Fund.

While tuition represents a good portion of our annual budget,

it does not cover the entire cost of a New Hampton School edu-

cation. Additional funding, including contributions to the Annual

Fund, is used to supplement tuition so that we can meet our

annual commitments.

The Annual Fund is one of New Hampton School’s most

important sources of unrestricted income. It directly supports

the people and programs at New Hampton School, from faculty

salaries to dnancial aid, athletic equipment to course materials.

The Annual Fund helps keep the school healthy and operating.

No matter what size, every gift to the Annual Fund makes a

real difference to the school. Each contribution goes directly to

funding the necessities. Thanks to your support and the support

of other Hamptonians, no needle and thread are required. �

New Hampshire storyteller Willem Lange—who ostensibly makes his livingas a contractor—typically concludes his yarns by sighing theatrically, “I’vegot to get back to work.” I >nd myself thinking of him when the action out-side my window becomes just too distracting.

Spending too much time in the o;ce isn’t usually an option in my job,because I need to know what’s going on. There’s action in the McEvoyTheater, the Smith Gymnasium, and in the classrooms that I have to see>rst-hand to really “get.”

This isn’t the case, however, with what is by far this year’s biggest story. Ikeep daily tabs on the new Math-Science Center construction site while seated comfortably at my desk.Concrete, rebar, steel, welding — you name it, it’s all on display right outside my Meservey Hall window.

Sometimes the minutes disappear as I discover the intricacies of modern construction methods, whilemy desk shakes and the air >lls with the sounds and occasional aroma of my fast-growing neighbor.

The close proximity has made it easy to document the project, and I encourage you to visitwww.newhampton.org/Math-Science for a selection of regularly updated photo galleries. You’ll beimpressed at the progress that’s taking place outside my window.

To be honest, sometimes I have to pull down the shade to concentrate on another project. Sigh…– Peter Miller, Editor, Hamptonia

t. h. was ahead of his timeThank you for printing my lengthy class note about Headmaster Moore’s enlightened handling of thestudent with epilepsy. This was an issue that wasn’t talked about in the late >fties, but T. H. had thewisdom to introduce the topic in a straightforward manner, and this education proved as valuable asany that I received. T. H. was de>nitely ahead of his time back then, and still is now.

hamptonia A 3

For decades New Hampton School graduates have bene>ted from astudent-centered, relationship-based, holistic, educational communi-ty, and service has been at the very heart of that experience. Here oncampus we often re?ect upon the responsibility that accompaniesthe privilege of inclusion in our special learning community, workingto build the ethos and the expectation that students will, as Emersondescribed in his oft quoted de>nition of success…leave the world a bitbetter…whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed socialcondition… It is a moral imperative that our students recognize thefundamental role of service in a healthy community and a function-ing democracy.

The world is now far more interconnected, interreliant, and interde-pendent than at any time in human history. We need to preparegraduates for a life of partnership and contribution, one in which stu-dents understand that bipartisan, cooperative engagement serves boththe individual and collective. When a culture is driven by service to oth-ers a community can attain amazing continuity and cohesiveness.

NHS students and alumni make service a central theme in theirlives each and every day. To celebrate service, we dedicate this issueof Hamptonia to share a few stories of those who sel?essly “giveback” in so many compelling ways.

From Ryan Janvrin ’08, who traveled to Ethiopia in the summerof 2007 to support an orphanage in Addis Ababa, to Lt. Col EricBuer ’84, who returned to campus this spring to share his experi-ences serving as a helicopter pilot during two tours of duty in Iraq,to Governor Walter Peterson ’42, who has served New Hampshire’scitizens and their educational community through a lifetime of dedi-

cation, New Hampton School alumni are impacting the world inconsequential ways.

The Strategic Plan for 2008–13, enclosed with the springHamptonia, rea;rms our historic commitment to student growththrough transformational experiences. As we begin to shape a moreglobally relevant curriculum, we are also focused on the local appli-cation of knowledge in ways that will improve the communities inwhich we live. In central New Hampshire, midtown Manhattan, NewDelhi, or Shanghai, our communities need more caretakers—morehearts and hands as we transition to a healthier place for humanity.

So it is here in the Lakes Region that we ask students to learn thecommitment and value of service, a lesson that has been inculcatedon campus for decades stretching back to the days of Fred Smith ’10and Bud Moore ’38. Intellectual preparation is nothing if we fail tocondition character to care about our fellow man.

A National Commission of Service Learning report issued in2002, Learning in Deed: The Power of Service Learning in AmericanSchools, analyzed the results of proactively engaging students inmeaningful service projects. “By providing opportunities for studentsto become active, positive contributors to society, service learninghelps them to develop a sense of civic and social responsibility.” Thereport went on to con>rm what we already know about service: “Atthe same time, students are able to acquire an ethic of caring andcommunity connectedness.”

We acknowledge the individuality of our students through theService Leaning Program as we do in so many other learning envi-ronments. The program’s faculty coordinators research, develop, and

oversee dozens of service experiences emphasizing both intellectualand physical engagement. Some o=er individual opportunities whileothers emphasize group contributions. Students work in a variety ofsettings, from our campus to the far corners of the state and coun-try, to international locales.

Whether it’s the urbanite wielding an axe and pry bar to buildmountain trails, the soup kitchen volunteer who has never personal-ly experienced hunger, or a Habitat for Humanity group nailing downroofs and framing for the very >rst time, students receive more thana well-rounded education in exchange for their open minds and help-ing hands. They receive the gift of humble altruism—a gift that theytake with them wherever they go. Those with special interests areencouraged to suggest their own projects and faculty work closelywith students to ensure that educational content guidelines are met.

“At its best, a service-learning experience can be transformative,”noted Dr. Judith A. Ramaley of the National Science Foundation inthe Learning in Deed report. “If we want our students to lead cre-ative, productive and responsible lives, we must give themopportunities to learn in ways that have consequences for others, aswell as for themselves. I know of no better way to invoke the manyfacets of cognitive development, moral reasoning, and social respon-sibility than to engage students in service learning opportunities.”

This Hamptonia illustrates the spectrum of service activities thatour students are actively engaged in on our campus and beyond. Asyou will see in the alumni pro>les and the faculty Q&A, service ismore than just an obligation—it is a way of life that helps to de>nethe very best in our school culture.

I hope these articles resonate and perhaps inspire you. We inviteyou to share your own story about how service impacted your lifeafter New Hampton School.

Yours in service,

Andrew Menke, Head of School

t. h. “bud” moore: a model of servicefor nhs and the wider communityNew Hampton School’s Service Learning Program has longbeen blessed with an extraordinary example of public serv-ice and contribution. Headmaster Emeritus T. H. “Bud”Moore ’38, together with his wife, Norma Jean “Jinga” Moore,have demonstrated the tremendous good that can be accom-plished in lives devoted to education and public service.

In May, Bud received the Granite State Award fromPlymouth State University as part of its commencement cere-mony, in recognition of his outstanding academic,professional, and civic achievements on behalf of NewHampshire’s citizenry. True to form he also made asigni>cant contribution on the very same day, delivering acandid and inspirational address to the undergraduates.

His long list of achievements encompasses a wide spec-trum of community interests and needs: four decades ofservice to NHS (and continued service on the board oftrustees); work on behalf of the New Hampshire MusicFestival, the New Hampton Community Church, the Gordon-Nash Library, the Mayhew Progam for at-risk boys; service asNew Hampton’s town moderator and on important towncommittees; moderator for the Newfound Area SchoolDistrict; president of the New Hampshire Public Television’s(NHPTV) Public Broadcasting Council, and president ofNHPTV’s board of governors. These are among the manypositions of responsibility that he accepted and dischargedwith his characteristic gusto and competence.

Plymouth State University President Sara Jayne Steensummed it up when she pointed out how Moore’s lifetime ofdedication gave him a unique and valued perspective inaddressing the PSU Class of 2008. “Bud Moore has devoted hislife to transforming others’ lives and making New Hampshire abetter place to live, learn, and work,” she said. “He is a dis-tinguished leader and a man of major accomplishment.”

Service to others has long been at the core of Bud Moore’sremarkable life, and has been a foundation for generations ofNHS faculty, sta=, and students. All members of the NHScommunity have been bene>ciaries of his generosity. Q

sustainability science authority (and nhs alum)leads campus conversationDr. Kurt Grimm ’78 returned to NHS in August to lead a conversa-tion with faculty and sta= on sustainability. Grimm, an interdisci-plinary earth scientist from the University of British Columbia, is also

a self-described “grateful NHS alumnus” and a passionate advocatefor authentic and practical sustainability.

Grimm’s thought-provoking presentation united the reality of cli-matic surprises with food security, in an invitation to artful, skillfulbioregional lifestyles. He and the faculty considered: What is sustain-ability? Is it simply a rebranding of environmentalism? (No). Is it averb? (Yes). Is it an invitation to discover and implement authenticabundance in our individual and community lives? (YES!).

Grimm was joined on campus by his former NHS teacher, CarolBrooks, who founded NHS’s environmental science program in the1970s. Q

In 2007–08, international students at New Hampton School repre-sented four continents and nine nations, and made up 15 percent ofthe student body. While our numbers are relatively small, we workhard to share our culture with American students who may neverhave traveled abroad. When NHS students head out into the widerworld, they will encounter even more cultural diversity than theyexperienced here.

In order to share a deeper cultural appreciation for each of thecountries we come from, NHS holds an International Day everyspring. This year I planned the celebration with my good friendTerrance Kim ’09. We began organizing the food, dancing, and exhi-bitions in February and it was a lot of work, however, it was a greatexperience. All of the international students sweated over the details,but in the end everybody enjoyed watching each others’ performanc-es and tasting food from all the di=erent nations.

International Day means a great deal to both international andAmerican students. In that sense, International Day is a service tothe NHS community. This event shares how international students,

without giving up their own culture, adapt to the culture that theylive in. Living in this school may be hard for some international stu-dents as they study thousands of miles away from home, butInternational Day is our opportunity to share our culture and identity.American students had new insights into the lives of internationalstudents and gained new respect for their life experiences.

International students come from di=erent countries and cultures,but all came together with the same purpose for International Day.As both international and American students laughed, clapped, andate food from other nations, there was a great sense of unity on thislittle campus, sharing things that we care about. !

New Hampton School infuses international experience throughout theintellectual and social life of the campus. International Day is among theguest presentations; celebrations of native culture; and mini-classes onlanguage, history, and heritage that are sponsored during the year.

yan Janvrin ’08 wanted to do more than just visit Ethiopia, hewanted to make a diVerence. He traveled with his family halfwayaround the world last year to the impoverished, East African

nation to adopt his baby sister, Zion. For some teenagers that would beenough, but Ryan wondered how he could make a bigger contribution.

A thinker, Ryan was concerned about the other children in theorphanage. New Hampton School’s Service Learning Program gave him aframework for taking action and becoming a “doer” as well.

The program has played this essential role for thousands of nhs stu-dents over the decades. Ryan’s service project was remarkable for itsinternational focus, but not for the motivation to help others that prompt-ed it. Service, whether near or far, has long been an important part of theNew Hampton School experience.

“New Hampton School’s Service Learning Program is strong andvital,” said Director of Service Learning Rosemary Brewster P’08. “I am

proud of the great work our students and faculty do, each serving at leasttwenty-four hours over the course of the school year. It’s a wonderfulopportunity for us to work together in diVerent settings with the goal ofhelping others.”

Faculty members Betsy Finer and Sue Winters are staV coordinatorsfor the program. “Service Learning at nhs is solidly connected to our mis-sion of preparing students to contribute both locally and globally,” saidFiner. “Our team’s challenge is to provide students the most genuineservice opportunities possible within given logistical parameters.”

The Service Learning Program more typically connects students withnhs’s neighboring communities. Morgan Donovan ’09 teaches local elemen-tary school students to conquer their fears by climbing high, one rung at atime up New Hampton School’s alpine tower. Her energetic cheerleading andcoaching of youngsters beneWts both the school and regional communities,and her pride in the youngsters’ accomplishments is unmistakable.

focus on service


The tower stands Wfty feet tall, and it mustseem like much more to children. Despite thedistance, bravery can conquer fear. “There was agirl who climbed one time and made it halfway up,then came back down,” Donovan related. “Shewas crying and afraid. But by the end of the day,she bucked up and just went for it.

“She didn’t have to make it to the top; she justbranched out,” Morgan said with a big smile and aslow nodding of her head. “She did what shewanted, which was great.”

Morgan has helped with the “CommunityConnections–Adventure Clinic” program forthe past two spring terms as part of the school’syearly community service requirement. nhsviews service as a learning opportunity, but forDonovan and her excited class of climbers it’smore like a gift to be shared.

Rosemary Brewster commented, “Service is awin-win commitment—in the process we learn agreat deal about others and ourselves as we leaveour own needs behind and focus on giving. Manylocal organizations and families count on ourassistance and value the interactions with our stu-dents and faculty; the connections made areimportant for everyone.”

Service is woven into the school’s fabric, andthe program is characterized by progressivelyincreasing stages of responsibility. Service isintroduced to Wrst-year students and followed in

subsequent years with more ownership and closerinteraction with served communities and individ-uals. Seniors conceive and implement signiWcantService Learning Projects as capstone experi-ences, like the trip Ryan Janvrin took to Africa.

Janvrin shared the discoveries that he madeduring his journey overseas with the school com-munity as part of his Senior Leadership Project(SLP). The following narrative is taken from aWeb site that he created (http://seniorleadership-project.blogspot.com), which also includes a slideshow about his trip.

“In August of 2007 I began collecting itemsfor an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Icollected $500 in cash and approximately$2000 worth of diapers, wipes, diaper oint-ment, formula, and clothing. In December2007 I packed twelve extra large army duZebags to take to Ethiopia. During my stay I spentseveral hours playing with the orphans andlearning about what life is like for children inEthiopia who don’t have families.”

Back on the nhs campus there is also a DailyJobs Program, which charges students with con-tributing to the health and welfare of the campusthrough activities such as recycling.

Activities and partnerships with local organi-zations enable students to contribute in amultitude of ways. The range of activities is broadand the school’s commitment is deep.

nhs students share their expertise with localpeers in activities as diverse as theater, sports,and outdoor education programs. Other projectshave included volunteering at animal shelters,soup kitchens, schools, hospitals, and day careand senior centers; assisting victims of family vio-lence; outdoor work on nature trails and Habitatfor Humanity projects; and eVorts that have aidedorphanages, military service personnel and veter-ans, and the homeless.

Students participated in over thirty diVerenttypes of service projects in 2007–08. Students inthe New Hampton Fire Department’s ExplorersProgram received medical training and pullednight shifts at the Wrehouse; one student, AlexThrower ’09, trained as an emt and went out onemergency calls.

Students in the “Animal Saviors” programwalked dogs and cleaned stalls at a local animalshelter. “Kids love playing with animals,” saidHans Mundahl, who helped direct the serviceprogram last year, “and they are indirectly helpingthe animals to Wnd homes.”

Community service students annually springclean at Camp Mayhew, a boys camp on NewfoundLake for disadvantaged children, and at BolducPark, a public facility on the Gilford-Laconia line.Students also helped to forge a nature trail for theSlim Baker Natural Area in Bristol.

In the classroom, the nhs faculty integratesservice learning into its curricula. Photographystudents document the various community serv-ice projects for later display, and health studentspartner with the American Red Cross to run theschool’s on-campus blood drive. The mostrecent blood drive set a record for donationswith a total of Wfty-six usable pints collected,thanks to the contributions of faculty, staV, stu-dents, and members of the local community whocame to campus to “give the gift of life.”

The drive has been running strong for eightconsecutive years. Health Teacher Sara Tysonnoted, “It is a great opportunity for the kids toexperience a level of service that has such far-reaching impact. The drive is also a great way tomerge our New Hampton community with thelarger world.”

That’s the essence of the Service LearningProgram. S

New Hampton School’s Community ServiceProgram is a reXection of the school’s broadspectrum of interactions with diverse audi-ences. Students can contribute to worthwhileeVorts on campus or within walking dis-tance, or in the case of Habitat for HumanityInternational (hfhi) they can join a world-wide cause whose number of beneWciariestops one million.

The stereotypical fun in the sun springbreak trip might not conjure images ofsacriWce and hard work, but that’s the realityof nhs’s Habitat program. Students foregosandy beaches for hot and tiring construc-tion work, which more often than notchanges the lives of both those who serveand those being aided.

Habitat’s goals are as altruistic as they areambitious. The organization works to elimi-nate poverty housing and homelessnessfrom the world and to make decent shelter amatter of conscience and action. The organ-ization has mobilized volunteers in morethan 3,000 communities to improve thelives of strangers, brick by brick and roof byroof. Student crews are usually college-age,which is a testament to the maturity of NewHampton’s volunteers.

“They work hard and get a lot out of it butthey deWnitely have a lot of fun,” said nhs

Tutor and Women’s Hockey Coach KerryMaher, who has participated in several trips.“What’s great is that it’s a random group ofpeople who might not have been friendsbefore who come together as a group.”

Students are taught basic carpentry skillsneeded to put together modest homes,including rooWng, painting, and caulking,and they serve as laborers. These practicalskills are combined with the pitching inthat’s needed to perform as part of a teamthat includes nhs students and faculty, anonsite building foreman, and members of thefamily whose home is under construction.

Maher has observed how getting to knowthe family can be a powerful aspect of theexperience. “Students see Wrsthand howbeing a part of something like this canchange a person’s life.”

New Hampton School’s recent Habitattrips have included between Wfteen andtwenty students and four faculty members.Students raise funds during the year to covertheir travel expenses prior to spending fourdays during spring break at the Habitatbuilding site.

Daily reXection journals capture discov-eries and epiphanies. The journals indicatethe evolution of student perceptions. “I feelas though it’s necessary to give to those who

are less fortunate than me (even thoughthey) are working just as hard,” explainedKayla DiBari ’08 in one of her Wrst entries.Later in the trip, she expressed a wish tocontribute as much as possible. “I feel likewhen I do something productive like nailingthe roof or helping with the windows itmakes more of a diVerence than just pickingup scraps. But being able to give a family lessfortunate than I a home to live in and raisetheir kids in is a satisfying experience.”

The Habitat program’s impact has beenshared with the wider school community.The trip fulWlls community service obliga-tions, or in the case of seniors like DiBari itcan be the focus of their Senior LeadershipProjects. (She recorded last year’s trip toBryan, TX, in a PowerPoint presentation thatwas viewed by her peers and teachers.)

During 2006–07, the students’ Habitatcontributions were acknowledged in personwhen a Florida Habitat homeowner made aspecial trip to the nhs campus. The womanexpressed her gratitude and explained howmeaningful this help was to her life, thank-ing the students involved and singing theirpraises to the rest of the school community.

Fun in the sun? It just doesn’t measure up. S

service takes center stageSome service activities take place quietlywithout much fanfare, while others areliterally in the spotlight. James “Mike” Fagan’08 combined his love of theater, histechnical prowess, and many hours of hardwork in his service contributions.

Mike received the 2008 Blake SampsonTheatre Award in recognition of his masteryof the McEvoy Theater’s technologies whileserving as the man behind the curtain for allmanner of productions. He also earned theSilver Presidential Service Award for hismany hours of contributions to the school.He served as designer, technician, lightboard and sound board operator, builder,running crew member, and a stage managerfor both student-produced and mainstageproductions.

While the light and sound team never getstop billing, Fagan still knows the value of hiswork. “All the [school] meetings that we have,it’s taken for granted by a lot of people. Youhave to know the equipment and know how tomake what’s going on look good on stage.”

Fagan’s Senior Leadership Project tookplace in his native Ohio for the CincinnatiYoung People’s Theater. He was one of adozen technicians for Anything Goes, whichfeatured 100 children.

The Cincinnati technical director, DennyReed, said, “Mike helped a lot with soundand he actually ran and teched the show,which had nine performances. He did well.”

This fall Mike will begin a major in light-ing design at Wright State University. Hisspecial interest is in intelligent lighting, theastonishing, computer-driven designs thatinspire oohs and aahs at rock concerts andon cruise ships.

“food for all” program,ashland, nhSince 1992, the Booster Club on Ashland’sMain Street has hosted free communitymeals for anyone in need of a hot meal. nhsstudents regularly serve food, clean up, andput away chairs and tables for needy “guests”from area towns.

Food for All is co-directed by two NewHampton residents, Linda Folsom and ElenaWorrall, who have been “really impressed”with nhs students and their interactions withattendees. Folsom added, “The students arewonderful and polite and we are so thrilled tohave them.” Service by nhs faculty is alsoacknowledged and appreciated.

Worrall said, “The guests are just people inthe community, and some really need thatmeal. We treat them all as valuable and worthy

people. It’s good for the kids to see that thereare people in need, not only from a food per-spective but also from a social perspective.”

Betsy Finer, who helps coordinate the vis-its, identiWed one of the key reasons for theactivity’s popularity: “It’s about food! There’sgreat satisfaction in the simple and direct actof serving food to those in need of it.”

Service activities don’t always produce ahigh level of recognition; in some cases theproviders never learn the outcome of theireVorts. Finer noted, “Food for All is anideal activity because it fulWlls an identiWedneed and the cause and eVect is immediate.We hope that all will eventually acquire anability to give their time and eVorts towardsneeds where the results may be moredelayed.”

nhs has supported the Food for AllProgram in other ways, contributing over$1,000 a few years ago through a “Wheels forMeals” bicycle fundraiser. The programreceives no government assistance and isoperated entirely by contributions, whichare gratefully accepted.

climbing high on burleighmountain’s alpine towerOne of the most distinctive features of thenhs landscape is the Wfty-foot alpine tower,which rises amid a clearing on the school’s300-acre Burleigh Mountain property. Thetower is a focal point for the school’s“Community Connections–AdventureClinic,” one of several free oVerings thatbuild athletic and outdoor skills in areayouth in grades K-6.

Director of Experiential Education HansMundahl runs the tower program with thehelp of students like Morgan Donovan ’09,who performed community service for theclinic as a sophomore and junior and willcontinue this year for her Senior LeadershipProject. “It’s great to have a student who isinvolved for a longer period of time,” saidMundahl. “We consistently drew ten to Wfteenparticipants and a lot of it had to do with her.”

He explained, “Morgan has an incredibleamount of positive energy, and she encour-ages and mentors. Little kids ask, ‘Is Morgangoing to be there?’ and Morgan asks aboutthem as well.”

Relationships make all the diVerencewhen unforeseen situations pop up, such asthis winter’s record-setting snowfall. “Wecouldn’t really start the program when wewanted to during the Wrst week of April,”recalled Mundahl, “but it didn’t stop the fun.Morgan was out sledding and playing tag withthe eight-year-olds. Two weeks later therewas still too much snow to climb, but the kidscame back anyway to run and play with her.”

Donovan knows that it takes lots ofconWdence-building to get kids up that talltower. “We play games Wrst so they arewarmed up and excited. We train them tostand on the tower and to step oV, not jump,then Mr. Mundahl talks about the harness.After we get the harness on and they learnthe commands about going up the tower,they can climb if they want.”

Donovan will typically belay Wrst toencourage the youngsters. “I don’t pressurethem,” she said. “I tell them if you’ve beenup before, even partway, just try to get up tothe next rung.”

Satisfaction comes from seeing childrenconquer their fears while mastering climb-

ing procedures. “I get to watch kids growbefore my eyes and accomplish somethingthat not a lot of people can do at that age,”said Donovan. “I’m helping them climb bybeing their support and anchor.”

“Service motivates me,” she continued. “Ilove seeing how the kids are enjoying thetower the way I enjoyed learning rock climb-ing when I was younger.”

The Community Connections programlives up to its name according to DawnShimberg, who has driven her daughter,Rose, age ten, twenty miles down fromCampton, NH, for the past four years. “Ireally love the fact that it’s reached out to somany area towns,” she said. “The programgives children a super, far-reaching sensebeyond just their own little communities.”

The Shimbergs didn’t know what toexpect when they Wrst heard of the “adven-ture” program, but it appealed to themnonetheless. Rose took to the alpine towerimmediately and has shared her excitementwith many friends, including her Girl Scouttroop that climbed en masse.

Ms. Shimberg praised Mundahl for hisleadership, and she singled out the highschool students for their friendly and helpfulways. “Little kids are sometimes intimidatedby older kids,” she said, “so it’s really nicethat this is breaking down some of thosemisconceptions.”

The younger and older students bond notonly through triumphs, but also throughshared adversity. Ms. Shimberg believes thatthe “rain or shine” program fosters a “wecan do it!” attitude in children, since every-one gives it their all even if it’s pouring orthe black Xies are raging.

For her part, Rose oVered a Wfth-grad-er’s highest compliments: “It’s fun and it’svery cool.” S

lieutenant coloneleric buer ’84, usmcServing the Nation, in the Airand at the Pentagon

Lieutenant Colonel Eric Buer’s ’84 Marine Corpsservice has taken him to Africa, the Middle East,Europe, and coast-to-coast stateside. He’s pilotedattack helicopters, commanded, and earned threemaster’s degrees on a Xight path to high-echelonresponsibility at the Pentagon.

Along the way he’s accumulated more than3,500 Xight hours and made 370 combat mis-sions, risking his life many times. Hiscontributions have been recognized with numer-ous medals, most notably the DistinguishedFlying Cross for Valor.

Eric credited New Hampton School for hissense of service, accountability, teamwork, andinvolvement—all critical to his success in one ofthe most demanding careers imaginable.

“Flying attack helicopters, that’s what I do,"he said simply. He was commissioned in 1988and quickly deployed to Iraq in Desert Storm, toSomalia, and the former Yugoslavia.

In 2003, he deployed with Task Force Tarawa,positioned in Kuwait in support of OperationIraqi Freedom. “The Wrst night of the war I wasleading Xights across the border," Buer recount-ed. He ultimately went around Baghdad and to

Tikrit, or in this marine’s cheerful parlance, “thelovely home of Saddam."

Buer calmly described the tremendous stress-es of his work. In 2004–05, he was based in AlAnbar province between the Xashpoint cities ofFallujah and Ramadi. His command of 400included pilots and air crew, maintenance andhealthcare workers, and administrative andlogistics specialists.

The ah-1w SuperCobras of Buer’s missionswere supported by both uh-1n “Hueys" andArmy Black Hawk helicopters, both well suitedfor casualty evacuation missions. “We broughtcasualties either to Baghdad or Balad, to big‘casf’ hospitals." (“Contingency AeromedicalStaging Facility," formerly “m*a*s*h" units.)

“These are very high tempo ops, working onfourteen-hour shifts. But one thing you never wantto do is pretend that you’re working harder thananyone else. There are fundamental laws you haveto follow, which is to serve the ground guys. That’swho our customers are, that’s why we exist."

His war service was followed by anotherposting to war college. He’s modest about hisoutstanding academic record (bachelor’s in eco-nomics from Ohio Wesleyan; mba from LaSalle, and master’s degrees in military studiesand strategic studies from the Marine CorpsCommand and StaV College and the WarCollege). It’s clear, however, that his intellect hasbeen the ticket to his current, “great, great job."

Buer reports to Chairman of the Joint Chiefsof StaV Admiral Michael Mullin as part of the J-7Joint StaV, which oversees Operational Plans andJoint Force Development. (“J-7” refers to theJoint Chiefs of StaV’s seven directorates; J-1 isPersonnel, J-2 is Intelligence, etc.)

“In layman’s terms," Buer said easily, “J-7writes war plans. We are the ‘integrators;’ wehelp the services get together for joint training. Irun joint doctrine, which is the institutionalwisdom of the military.

“Doctrine," he continued, “isn’t really a ‘howto’ book; it’s a ‘what’ book." His work alsoinvolves nato policy, requiring travel to Athensand Brussels. He smiled playfully, “That part’spretty good."

New Hampshire has long been a family pivotpoint. Eric’s California family had a second

home locally, and now he also owns LakeWinnipesaukee property.

Back at nhs for a recent visit, the years melt.“Buildings and faces change, but that same feel-ing is still here. It’s refreshing," he said, lookingover the campus where he once played soccer,lacrosse, and hockey and ran cross country.

Buer had a well-rounded nhs experience,serving in student government and receivingencouragement from Athletic Director PeterGulick and History Teacher Larry Lougee, amongothers. It was in the realm of service, though,where the school’s impact was greatest.

“Absolutely," he declared. “My sense of com-munity and service, it all started here." As astudent he visited the Golden View Health CareCenter, an assisted-living facility in Meredith,NH, and participated in fall clean-ups and otheractivities that reinforced assisting others.

Camaraderie was another part of those form-ative years. Buer observed, “When you come toNew Hampton as a freshman you have to playsports, where teamwork is a requirement. Beingin the military is the ultimate team sport."

Stepping up and being held responsible arealso rooted in nhs soil. “New Hampton Schoolis such a close community, so you’re accountablefor everything," he said.

Buer’s family includes wife Jennifer and chil-dren Katherine (14), Cassandra (12), Eric (9),and Caroline (6). “I tell them, I learned the mostincredible study habits at nhs. Because youwent to school six days a week you had to man-age your time, and from eight to ten o’clock atnight you were studying no matter what."

These habits impressed college roommates.“Eight to ten pm, I’d sit at my desk with books.It really held me in great stead."

Great study habits, personal bravery anddrive, and a deep commitment to serve have ele-vated Buer into the ranks of the nation’s militaryleadership. Just entering his prime, he willundoubtedly make even greater contributions tohis country in the years to come. Q

annette baker doolin ’86Empathy: Pass It On

The deep honeyed voice of lawyer Annette BakerDoolin ’86 alternates between fervor and com-passion as she describes her family, her career,and her belief in humanitarian service. Helpingclients with adoption, divorce, child custody, visi-tation and support, guardianship of a minor, andall other aspects of family law are the breadthand depth of her Beverly, MA, solo law Wrm.

nhs prepared Annette to be a learner andproblem-solver. She describes her time here as“character building." She was deeply aVected by thepervasive sense of kindness, understanding, andempathy in the school community and believes thatthese traits made her a good judge of character,something she uses every day in her practice.

She was not always so focused.Not until her mid-twenties did Annette con-

sider furthering herself academically. Sheattended a two-year community college inRochester, NY, and then went on to receive herbachelor's degree, magna cum laude, from theUniversity of Rochester. From there it was on toSuVolk University Law School for her JD degree.

It was through volunteer work while at theUniversity of Rochester that Annette discoveredher passion for domestic violence victim advo-cacy. As a result of seeing true victims of

domestic violence, “I harbor very strong feelingsabout people who lie and use the system totheir own advantage."

Annette entered the legal profession Wve yearsago on her own terms; as a single mom, she knewshe needed Xexibility, so she started her ownWrm. She has dedicated 10 to 20 percent of herwork to pro bono domestic violence victim cases.

The most gratifying aspect of the family lawwork is to reach out to men, especially thosewho may have been wrongly accused or areunfairly served with restraining orders.

“The more I practice, the more my heart goesout. I let people know that it will get betterbeyond the crisis they are in. I tell them to leaveit here with me at the oYce—the grief—and gotake care of themselves…get a garden going,adopt a pet, spend time with friends, get outwalking or exercising." In the long run, manyhave come back to see her, happy and trans-formed, and this is one of her rewards as well.

Not too long ago, as she was speaking with anew client in her oYce, Annette mentioned thebeautiful weather outside, sighing, “What a per-fect day. Wouldn't this be a great day to haveclass outside? I attended a high school in NewHampshire where we would do that."

“I know just what you mean," he replied. Theconversation continued, and recounting the unex-pected joy of realizing that her client was another

nhs alum makes her eVervesce with laughter.Annette cannot say enough about the good of

community service programs like New HamptonSchool's. “Students need to get outside of theirown bubble. To be put in situations you couldnever imagine will either cause you to be empa-thetic or to judge. The more young people see ofdiVerent life experiences, the less likely they willbe to judge others, and the more likely they willbe able to feel true empathy."

Kindness and generosity oVer profoundmoments of shared humanity, she believes. Andif you are not wired that way, she would mostlikely say: you must learn. “It's not a cookie cut-ter world out there."

Annette's family includes seven childrenranging in age from seven to Wfteen. Shebrought her daughter Rachel along when visit-ing nhs one summer day a few years back. Sherecalls a previous visit, for her twentiethreunion, when she wandered into Albee's (nowknown as the New Hampton Country Store).

A longtime employee rushed at her frombehind the counter. “Annette Baker, I have beenworrying about you for twenty years!"

“No need to worry, not at all! I am Wne, I'vebeen just Wne!" Annette reassured her.

Indeed, no worries at all. Q– Martha Shepp,– Assistant Director of Communications

richard eisenberg ’71Rich Eisenberg’s Floating Classroom

The Bayfront Center for Marine Studies(www.bayfrontcenter.org) is not a traditional sail-ing school. Based on the shores of Lake Erie inPennsylvania, the center is the brainchild of NewHampton School alumnus Rich Eisenberg ’71.Born from a passion for boats and boat-build-ing, the organization is part school and partservice organization.

“Sailing itself is the least of what we teach,"Eisenberg says. “We teach teamwork, havingfun, self-reliance, problem solving, and eVectivecommunication. Hopefully a beginner’s sail istame and calm, but it can quickly turn into a big-eyed, white-knuckle kind of adventure. Whenthat happens, the kids learn fast about problem-solving and thinking on their feet."

Over 10,000 students have built eighty-twoboats here in the ten years since bcms’s launch.Projects range from the Six-Hour Canoe to theindigenous Erie Boat, a twenty-nine-foot sailingand Wshing vessel. Groups include the NationalHonor Society, autistic children, scouts, adjudi-cated kids, and alternative education groups.Rich said unequivocally that the true product atbcms is not the boats, but the kids.

“Can you imagine building a boat if you wereblind?" Rich Eisenberg described one of the spe-

cial groups that recently came to the center. Histone immediately quiets, adding, “One of thesekids lost his eyesight in Iraq; he’s only twenty."Never dampened more than momentarilythough, his voice rises again. The man’s enthusi-asm for his work and the love he has forbringing life-changing opportunities to youthinfuses all that he does and says.

When Rich left nhs in 1971 for AlleghenyCollege, he didn’t really know his focus. He tooktime oVmidstream and worked in his hometownboatyard. Side by side with veteran boat buildersin their very upper years, he gained skills, andmost importantly, truly learned how to work.

After graduating from Allegheny, he and hisfuture wife Amy headed for the coast of north-ern California. Seven years later they moved to“the wet jungle side" of Maui, where he workedprimarily in commercial construction, stayingfor eleven years until son Ivan was born.

Parenthood brought a profound perspectiveshift for Rich. He became immersed with teamsports, birthdays, and playgroups, and realizedjust how much he loved working with kids.

The year 1994 found the young family back inhis hometown, Erie, PA. Ivan wanted to play icehockey. His dad puzzles over how that cameabout, “Must’ve been the Mighty Ducks movies.Go Wgure!" Rich was an enthusiastic sports dad,though, and happy to help out as assistant

coach. “I was collecting sticks and pucks, organ-izing things, and tying a lot of skates," herecollected. His enthusiasm spread to othersports that he had no experience with as well,like T-ball and soccer.

It was during one of his school sport endeav-ors in 1995 that a locker room conversationbirthed bcms. “This coach spoke passionatelyof the need for a connection to the bay here inErie." It touched a nerve. The pair became part-ners and started the nonproWt in a temporaryshack with no running water, but a great yard forbuilding.

Years of lobbying resulted in state fundingfor the beautiful, 14,000-sq ft. facility they arenow housed in.

All kinds of groups come, including adjudi-cated youth from all over the state. “Once theystep on board, I love watching the transforma-tion of swaggering juveniles full of attitude backinto kids again. One hour ago they were surethere was no use for any of this, and then they’reusing the gps, orienting a chart, making calcula-tions in their heads; algebra! And they get theadventure aspect!"

Rich is convinced that for kids, service givesperspective. “When you’re young you don’t haveany way to see what you have and appreciate it."This hearkens back to his days at nhs and whathe calls “full-circle mentoring."

Mentoring from New Hampton Schoolteachers gave Rich “enough freedom to do whatwe needed to do, and enough guidance to besafe." This encouragement led to nhs’s rockclimbing program, initiated by Rich and friends.

He also learned to adapt. A swimmer, Richlearned to play other sports at nhs. “We had noTVs (no reception anyway!), no music channels,no computers—and yet we were never bored.When kids today say the ‘bored’ word, I say tothem, ‘The world is so rich! Find somethingyou’re interested in and go for it!’"

And he means what he says. Q– Martha Shepp

governor walter r. peterson ’42Leader of Men

During his time at Columbia University as anaval oYcer in training for World War II, WalterPeterson ’42 met with the commandant as partof a review process that every cadet had toundergo. “What do you have to say for your-self?” bellowed the commandant.

Peterson found himself replying from the Wrmdepths of his yet unproven self, “I understandthe service of leadership and believe I know howto lead.” He later learned from a lieutenant thatthe commandant strongly believed in Petersonand declared, “He'll be a great oYcer one day.”

Walter Peterson’s words would be prophetic.At 85, Peterson remains a chipper, one-time bas-ketball-star, a dreamer, and a jazz fan who isreluctant to toot his own horn.

Best known as one of New Hampshire’sstrongest governors—believing in small govern-ment, a balanced budget, strong businesses, andstrong personal rights—the four years of 1969–73were only a small part of his remarkable life.Peterson also served the state as Speaker of theHouse, president of Franklin Pierce College, interimpresident of the University of New Hampshire,Peterborough town moderator, and RepublicanParty chairman for Hillsborough County. He spenttwenty-two years in the family’s real estate business

in Peterborough, where he has lived most of his lifewith Dorothy, his wife and lifelong, wise advisor.

Public service has so deWned Mr. Petersonthat a complimentary moniker, “He’s a WalterPeterson Republican," is applied to politicianswho exemplify the true nature of equanimity.

“Of all the things I’ve done in life, I take themost pride in public service. I developed an abil-ity and understanding of how people worktogether, of how they can set goals that bringeveryone into a sense of community, makingagreements in broad terms. The remaining dif-ferences then become manageable."

Peterson was born in Nashua, NH, the eldestof two children in a service-minded entrepreneur-ial family. It was Walter’s mother who modeled aservice ethic. She was a very determined person; aRed Cross volunteer, involved in local drama pro-ductions, a member of the Nashua Good CheerSociety, and with Walter’s dad, a big game hunter.And she believed in Walter.

She was also intensely interested in justiceand treating people fairly. He probably inheritedher sense of drama as well, which “helped outquite a bit in politics." His dad was “an imagina-tive salesperson," masterful at putting unlikelythings together—and displaying fair employerpractices in his many successful business ven-tures—that weren’t lost on his sons.

He was ranked near the bottom of his publichigh school class. Gov. Peterson said with noguise whatsoever, “It is good training to beunderestimated. It’s something I was quite usedto and actually, an asset."

In his junior year, Headmaster Fred Smithcame calling on the Peterson family, and Walterwas soon enrolled. He was well-liked; classmatesnominated him for class oYcer and he was a teamsports player, but academics were still an issue. “I

was what you call a dreamer, or add, by today’sterms. I would listen in class, but then my atten-tion would drift oV on this and that tangent."

The governor’s bumpy New Hampton rideincluded an expulsion and re-admittance as apostgraduate, experiences that he calls invaluable.

“I took a long time to grow up. Some teacherssaw that I was worth the eVort…Lance Bicknell,and coaches John Shields and Bill White. I alsogot the feeling that Fred Smith liked me from thestart. It makes a diVerence to know that you’vegot support, despite your screw-ups!"

At six-foot-two, his dreams were of pro bas-ketball. “I was a ‘tweener,’ half-decent but notbig enough or quick enough to make the team."Coach White recommended him for football.“Our team was not the greatest…" Petersonchuckled, but he played guard and learned lifelessons in psyching out opponents, catchingthem oV guard with the bait and switch, andthoroughly enjoying the joust. His political skillswere certainly incubating on the playing Welds.

The year and a half he spent at nhs oVeredhim the opportunity to mature and nurture histrue talent: understanding human nature.

Peterson’s eyes sparkle as he speaks of his twen-ty-one-year-old granddaughter, Anna, (he has twochildren and seven grandchildren) who, as a stu-dent trustee, serves with him on the board of theUniversity System of New Hampshire. He may bedescribing his own salient qualities…she’s intellec-tual (summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa atUNH) and not necessarily a politician, yet she’svery interested in helping her fellow studentsresolve problems. She’s not at all full of herself, andwas urged by others to run for the position.

Another leader of men—and women—maybe in the making. Q

Despite the fact that I come from a long line of educators, never, inmy wildest dreams did I expect to become a teacher. I probablywouldn’t have had it not been for an unexpected twist of fate when,in 1985, I decided to take a hiatus from my job as a television pro-ducer at ABC to return to my hometown of New Hampton to spendtime with my mother, who had recently been diagnosed with ALS, arapidly-moving illness also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

After a few months of intense care giving, I realized that I neededto >nd a balance in my life if I was going to retain my sanity. At thesuggestion of my friend and eventual husband Fred Willingham(Class of ’72 and computer systems manager at New HamptonSchool at the time), Headmaster Lou Gnerre o=ered me a job asdirector of theatre. I would start in two weeks.

My >rst meeting with Dean of Studies Dave Rice was an interest-ing one to say the least. Little did I know what to expect when he toldme that “theatre and >lm would attract a motley lot.” The usual sus-pects, I was told. Aldrich, Cordima, Cohen, Distler, Files 1, Files 2,Gertz, Jarvis, Mullen, Murphy, Sive, and Hare. Hugh Hare. I hadbeen warned about him.

The very >rst day I met Hugh, I had to throw him out of my class.“Oh, man…you just bought yourself a boatload of trouble,” said hisclassmate, Kim Cordima. I didn’t sleep all night.

The following day, Hugh returned to my class. “I’m surprised anddelighted you showed up,” I said. “Why wouldn’t I?” he retorted.“You didn’t mark me absent.” It was at that very moment a friend-ship was born.

A friendship, I might add, that Hugh didn’t take lightly. Hugh wasa strong ally: a good person to have on your side. He was there tohelp at every turn—whether it was building sets or recruiting theentire football team for auditions. Whatever my need, Hugh would>nd a way to accommodate it.

My mother died in the early morning hours of January 19, 1987. Itwas snowy. Blizzard-like conditions. After a long, arduous day ofmaking funeral arrangements, Fred and I returned home to >nd thatour driveway (and roof) had mysteriously been shoveled, cordwoodstacked, and dinner on the stove. It took several days and some pret-ty sharp detective work by Athletic Director Pete Gulick to >nd outthat our “guardian angels” were the members of the hockey team,commandeered by none other than Hugh Hare.

Hugh graduated in the spring of 1987. Though we went in very dif-ferent directions—he o= to college and me back to the rat race of>lmmaking, we never lost touch. Throughout the years, Hugh hascontinued to acknowledge our milestones: our anniversaries, Fred’ssecond graduation from Plymouth State, and the birth of our son,Mackintosh Bennett Willingham (NHS ’11).

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone nowCartwheels turn to car wheels thru the townAnd they tell him, take your time, it won’t be long nowTill you drag your feet to slow the circles down

In January of this year, the phone rang. The voice on the other enduttered precisely ten words. “Look in your car. I’ll call back in >veminutes.” I went to the car to >nd a fresh Florida avocado and aScuba Schools International (SSI) Open Water Diver Manual.

The phone rang again. It was Hugh. “The avocado is for you. Ipicked it out of the tree in my backyard with my lacrosse stick thismorning. The scuba manual is for Mack. It’s about time for him tolearn to dive. When can you come?”

“How about this weekend?” Mack said. “How about springbreak,” I replied.

In March of this year, Fred, Mack, and I met with Hugh in Ft.Lauderdale for Mack’s scuba lessons. Five days and four dives later,the certi>cation was complete.

So the years spin by and now the boy is twentyThough his dreams have lost some grandeur coming trueThere will be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plentyBefore the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go round and round…

In retrospect, it’s interesting that my relationship with Hugh hasgenuinely been a circle game. I taught Hugh, Hugh taught Mack…allof which got me to thinking of our unlikely friendship, and the foun-dation of that relationship. It’s all a series of concentric circles, withNew Hampton School at the center.

While we all have gone on to do di=erent things with our lives,there is a common denominator with each and every one of us. Inmy case, it doesn’t matter how many commercial or print jobs I’veshot, how many movies I’ve produced or how many celebrities I’veworked with. That’s not my opus. My masterpiece lies here at NewHampton—not only in the lives I may have touched, but just asimportantly, in the lives that have touched mine.

I’ve had the pleasure of having dinner at Katherine DistlerPugliese’s (’85) restaurant in St. Croix, the privilege of becomingfriends with Gabrielle Cohen-Davidson’s (’86) parents, the honor ofbeing called from the delivery room where Lenore Files-Gendron(’87) gave birth to her daughter Lily, the joy of drawing pictures withScott Gertz’s (’88) daughter, Jordan. That’s my opus.

In the immortal words of Gabrielle’s dad, Howard, “You can’t puta price on things like that.” Q

Theamount of knowledge transferred is incredible; Iwork with lots of qualiWed people.

How does volunteering at the firehouse benefitour students?steve: Students develop a great deal of respectfor people who work on behalf of the communi-ty. Some students are just amazed at the level ofdedication and work that goes into it.kristen: It bridges two worlds. Students areimpressed when they realize that WreWghtershave to get up and leave their supper tables tohelp others in our community.

What do you tell your friends aboutNew Hampton School?steve: There’s a lot of diversity in the studentpopulation—we’ve got a full, broad spectrum.nhs is a place where students can hang outwith diVerent kinds of people. Other schoolsattempt to do this, but I don’t think most are asmuch of a community as we are.kristen: nhs students are down to earth andnot pretentious.

It was at the Berlin Wall more than seven years ago that Dan Loverealized the clear bene>ts of the International Baccalaureate pro-gram. Traveling with a group of IB Juniors from his previous schoolin Italy, he recalled, “My students and I were at the wall and I wasamazed at their conversations. They were discussing the true start ofthe Cold War, the architecture on the former East and West sides,and how the buildings re?ected the social di=erences between thetwo former enemies.” As the students chatted easily in French,Spanish, and Korean with other visitors, Love said, “It was then thatI realized that I was truly with an internationally-minded group ofglobal citizens.”

No one disagrees that we now live in an interconnected and inter-dependent world. New Hampton’s goal must be to fully prepareevery student for the challenges and opportunities he or she will facein the new global society. It is with this in mind that as part of thenew Strategic Plan, Head of School Andrew Menke has appointedLove as NHS’s global curriculum coordinator.

In describing the goals of his new position, Love highlights sever-al areas of focus. “I will be concentrating on three arenas that willbring our students into the global age. First, we will be establishinginternational exchange opportunities. Second, we will launch theInternational Baccalaureate diploma program at New Hampton.Third, we want to make sure our curriculum is infused with interna-tionally-relevant subject matter. It is a way to bring the world to NewHampton, and to introduce our students to new levels of thinking.

“In many ways, what I have been doing personally and profession-ally has prepared me for this new challenge,” Love explained. “Beforecoming to New Hampton, I was the History Department head at theAmerican School Foundation in Mexico City. Incidentally, it’s thesame school where Jinga Moore’s father was once the headmaster.Prior to Mexico, I taught social sciences at the American School inMilan, Italy, with my wife, Amy. My undergraduate degree is in politi-cal science from Colorado State University and I have a master’sdegree in curriculum and instruction from Chapman University.”

Love will begin by exploring programs in international learning.“I’m looking forward to starting some exchange opportunities forNew Hampton students soon. I have taken students to Beijing,Athens, The Hague, and Berlin—as well as other places tooobscure to mention. Already we are working with a school in China.I believe traveling—and if you have the opportunity, studying andeven living—is a great way to learn about a culture while also learn-ing about yourself.”

Another element of Love’s new position is to implement theInternational Baccalaureate Diploma program at New HamptonSchool. “Currently, we are at the application phase,” he explained.“The Class of 2012 will be the >rst class that will have the opportuni-ty to take part in the full diploma program. I’m proud to say thatNew Hampton will be the >rst boarding school in New England too=er the program,” he added. Three department heads attended IBtraining this summer and more are scheduled.

Love recognizes the value of the IB program in today’s learningenvironment. “The greatest bene>t that IB o=ers—and I say thisafter experiencing six senior classes matriculate through the pro-gram—is that it makes students more directly involved in theirlearning,” he said. Students in grades eleven and twelve will have theoption of taking a series of rigorous, interconnected courses.

“We are in a new age of participatory learning. Students need tobe able to be not just engaged but challenged, and the material theyare learning must be meaningful. IB courses are not a predeterminedcurriculum. Rather, it is a series of options that evaluates students inprimarily essay fashion using authentic problems, scenarios, andevents. Teachers and students have the freedom to explore di=erentthemes and topics in a Socratic learning environment.”

The third component of Love’s new role includes working with thedean of studies, department heads, and faculty to oversee curricu-lum development and the scope and sequence of courses. “Most ofall I will be working with and for the present and future students ofNew Hampton. I want to make sure we are carrying through on ourpromise to prepare them for college and beyond. I believe we are ata major point in history” he observed. “The international dimensionsof technology and information are changing the de>nitions of everypart of our society. We need to make sure New Hampton studentscan think critically about the issues they will face.”

Daniel Love has been teaching in the International DiplomaProgram for six years in Europe and Latin America. He is a formerdepartment head and Model United Nations Program director. Whennot working on curriculum he loves traveling with his wife, Amy, andtheir two children, who live on-campus in Rice House. He began hiswork as the global curriculum coordinator this summer in prepara-tion for the 2008–09 school year. !

The IB Program is a challenging two-year curriculum, primari-ly aimed at students aged 16 to 19. It leads to a quali>cationthat is widely recognized by the world’s leading universities.

The program prepares students for college by encouragingthem to ask challenging questions as they “learn how tolearn,” while developing both a strong sense of their ownidentity and culture and the ability to communicate with andunderstand people from other lands.

The curriculum contains six subject groups (Language,Second Language, Experimental Sciences, the Arts,Mathematics and Computer Science, and Individuals andSocieties). There are also three core requirements (theExtended Essay, which o=ers students the opportunity toinvestigate a topic of individual interest and acquaints themwith the independent research and writing skills expected atcollege level; Theory of Knowledge, an interdisciplinarycourse that encourages an appreciation of other cultural per-spectives; and Creativity, Action, and Service, whichencourages students to be involved in artistic pursuits,sports, and community service work).

At the end of the dig season in 2001 we were running short on time,as usual. Even ten, six-day weeks don’t give you enough time to doeverything, so removing the large, white marble paver from the ?oorwould have to wait until next year.

A year later, one of the >rst things we did upon returning was tomap, and then remove the intriguing piece of marble. It had beenuntouched for well over a thousand years. We picked it up, dusted ito=, and gasped when we saw the clearly inscribed Latin on the otherside, honoring a long-dead Roman emperor.

To be the >rst person to touch a historical object, one that mightsome day be displayed in a museum, always fascinated me. Workingas an archaeologist in Petra, Jordan, has given me that opportunitymany times over.

Archaeology is an interdisciplinary >eld, and anthropologists, clas-sics scholars, geologists, and engineers work together to produce acomplex and comprehensive history of a site. It’s a fascinating studyof both past and present.

Petra was founded as the capital of the Nabataean Empire in thelate fourth century bc, and was annexed by the expanding RomanEmpire in 106 ad. Today, it’s Jordan’s most popular tourist attrac-tion. The best known monument at the site, the Treasury, is seenbrie?y in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

There have been archaeological digs in Petra for almost a century,and yet less than 5 percent of the city has been thoroughly explored. I

had the privilege of working there under the auspices of my doctoraladvisor, Dr. Martha Sharp Joukowsky of Brown University, and theJordanian Department of Antiquities.

Dr. Joukowsky has directed ongoing excavations at the GreatTemple for fourteen seasons. Built in the late >rst century bc, thestructure was occupied and modi>ed until approximately the time ofRoman annexation. Originally designed as a religious structure, oneof its later phases included a 600-seat theater.

The Small Temple is just west of the Great Temple and wasalmost entirely unexplored until summer 2000. Dr. Joukowsky sug-gested that I excavate there for my dissertation. Working with a smallgroup of Americans and Bedouins we almost immediately began todiscover marble, some with fragmentary inscriptions.

Over the following two seasons, we excavated approximately onemetric ton of marble (in over 6,000 pieces) from the small, 2,300-square-foot building. This was attention-grabbing for a few reasons.Romans placed a high value on marble, considering it a luxury mate-rial. There is no marble native to Petra, and when it was sourced wediscovered that it originated in several locations in Europe and west-ern Asia. It would have been transported in at least two stages; oversea and then over land (a much more expensive proposition). Thenearest port city at the time would have been Gaza, approximately100 miles west.

Examination of one of the larger inscriptions identi>ed it as a ded-ication to the Roman Emperor Trajan, dated between 106–114 ad. Asecond, fragmentary imperial inscription, reconstructed from forty-four pieces, can be attributed to either Emperor Elagalabus (218–222ad) or his successor, Alexander Severus (222–235 ad).

The marble, together with the proportions of the building andother >nds such as coins, pottery, and lamp fragments led me todate the building to the post-annexation era, no earlier than 106 ad,post-dating several other buildings in the city center.

But what was the Small Temple? The dating of the structure andthe presence of Roman imperial inscriptions led me to believe thatthe Small Temple was a Roman imperial cult building, dedicated tothe worship of the Roman emperors as gods. After annexing theNabataean kingdom, the Romans may have wanted to remind itspeople that they were no longer independent by building this templein the heart of their capital. The Romans out>tted the building intons of luxurious marble, imported at great cost, all the better todrive the point home.

I hope that future excavation at the site will add more detail to thepicture. Part of why I >nd archaeology so exciting is that it gives methe chance to be one of the >rst people to rediscover a speci>c timeperiod, and interpret the thousands of pieces of history that literallycome together like a gigantic (and heavy) jigsaw puzzle.

No site digs itself. Archaeology requires the expertise of many, thephysical labor of dozens more, and cooperation from all. Every sea-son we hire local Badoul and Ammarin Bedouin workers. Many ofthe men have worked with us for several seasons and we got toknow their families, especially at our annual July 4 baseball game(after clearing the “>eld” of rocks and goats) and cookout.

Our dig foreman, Dakhilallah Qublan (also known as Abu Khalid),is responsible for hiring the workmen, organizing the dig teams, anddistributing equipment such as picks, hoes, and wheelbarrows. On alarge site such as the Great Temple >ve to ten trenches were open ata time, while at the Small Temple there were usually one or two.

I have been friends with Abu Khalid’s youngest daughter, a nowseventeen-year-old spit>re named Badria, since she was six. I havewatched her grow up on site, accompanying her father every day, andabsorbing the history of the Nabataeans in her own back yard. HerEnglish has become impressive, while, despite her best e=orts myArabic is merely mediocre.

Working with the Bedouin reminds me that we are visitors in theirhome, and that Nabataean history (or anyone’s history, for that mat-ter) is someone’s heritage, and one in which people take pride. Asan archaeologist in a foreign country, I am also an ambassador formy own culture. Both Bedouin and American have many chances todiscuss our cultures while talking in the trenches.

Archaeologists, despite our fascination with the past, have nochoice but to work and interact in the present. I wouldn’t have it anyother way. !

New Hampton School’s Strategic Plan is well underway, with someimprovements already quite visible and others more deeply embed-ded. To date we have initiated or completed 224 action items (57percent of the plan).

Major construction projects include Kennedy Field, the synthetic turf,multi-sport facility that was completed last fall, and the Math-ScienceCenter, now under construction. Please visit www.newhampton.org/math-science for updates on this project, which is slated for comple-tion in time for fall 2009 classes.

Many other physical plant upgrades are anticipated, includingimprovements to dormitories and classroom spaces. Dr. KurtGrimm ’78, a professor at the University of British Columbia, wasrecently on campus to lead a conversation on sustainability. Inrecent years, his established research expertise in earth system his-tory, paleoecology, and paleoenvironmental reconstruction has?ourished into theory and applied theory relating to the emergingsustainability sciences. Dr. Grimm’s presentation was in concertwith several Strategic Plan goals, including greater global relevancy,more intentional involvement with local and regional communities,and further “greening” of the school’s curriculum and operations.

Two new positions, the global curriculum coordinator and thetechnology coordinator, have been created in ful>llment of planobjectives. Dan Love and Hans Mundahl have assumed these keyroles, respectively.

Academic and curricular progress includes movement toward theInternational Baccalaureate diploma program and exploration ofinternational exchange relationships. NHS’s Foundations of Learning:A Continuum of Skills for 21st Century Learners, was implemented atthe start of the academic year. Students are assured of receiving astrong academic foundation that supports a skill-based, globally rele-vant curriculum.

This year’s new curricular o=erings with global emphasis includethe addition of Chinese for Beginners, Comparative World Cultures,Geology, Innovative Learning Technology, and Statistics. In addition,the yearly schedule has been modi>ed from trimesters to semesters

to allow for greater experiential opportunities, >eld study, and cultur-al exchange programs.

The school’s athletic facilities are helping to achieve the goal ofenhancing local and regional ties. The White Mountain YouthLacrosse Program used Kennedy Field this spring for games andpractices, and the Concord Cannons AAU baseball program playedon the Gnerre Diamond, bringing teams from across New Englandto campus.

New Hampton School has been working over the past year withJan Krukowsky/Generation, a New York-based marketing communi-cations >rm, on rebranding NHS in concert with the Strategic Plangoal of “Strengthened Identity and Visibility.” The three major proj-ects have been identity (i.e. our logo and other graphicrepresentations) a new Admission O;ce viewbook, and a revisedWeb site, all of which are slated for completion this fall.

The Alumni and Development O;ce has added two new sta=

members, who are facilitating closer ties between graduates, currentstudents, and faculty, and positioning the school for enhanced over-all >scal strength.

There are numerous technology initiatives underway or recently com-pleted, including wireless network installation, campus network securityupgrades, and the provision of new laptops to all teaching faculty.

NHS is a school on the move and we appreciate your support. Ifyou have not already read it, we encourage you to review theStrategic Plan via the Hamptonia Web site, www.newhampton.org/Hamptonia.

reunion 2008reunion 2008


reunion 2008It was a blast! It was a smash hit! New Hampton School madereunion history with the largest crowd seen in decades. Even the raincouldn’t dampen spirits as alumni and former faculty began rollinginto town a day early, on May 29. The crowd grew by Friday eveningwith four di=erent events happening simultaneously: a dinner honor-ing the 50th Reunion Class of 1958 at the home of Head of SchoolAndrew Menke; a cookout overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee at thehome of Keith Noe ’83 celebrating the 25th Reunion; a dinner gather-ing in Meredith for the Class of 1998 celebrating its 10th NHSReunion; and a pizza party on campus for all others.

A huge thank you to the reunion chairs and reunion volunteers.Without your energy, perseverance, and enthusiasm, Reunion 2008would not have been so incredibly successful. The reunion pictureson the following pages tell the story, but we decided that the letter ofone alumnus so eloquently and so powerfully conveyed the range ofemotions and excitement permeating the weekend’s festivities, andwe felt compelled to share an excerpt with you. Robert-GrantWealleans ’68 expresses clearly what reunions are all about:

I decided to step o= of the roller coaster ride of life just long enough toattend the New Hampton School Reunion of 2008. This reunion was thefortieth for my Class of 1968 but it marked my actual >rst attendance atan o;cial reunion (homecoming and a few visits in the ’70s don’t count!).

Amazingly, although I live in southern California, I’ve been to NewHampshire three times this year and visited the school in April with mynew bride Lori. Lori could not attend Reunion ’08 but insisted I attendand promised me it would be a wonderful experience. She was morethan right about that!

Funny, Phil Sawyer, Je= Glidden, and other “reunion whips” from theClass of 1968 have said the same thing through the years but I eitherdidn’t listen, or I had the usual bag of excuses handy to fend them o=.

It was a wonderful experience indeed! I count this past weekend assome of the most ful>lling days in my life. What I failed to realize allthese years is the enormous bond between members of my class and thesheer joy and memories we share. To convey to you the emotions andhappiness I experienced would be both di;cult and lengthy because thisexperience is all personal and only you can experience and appreciatereunion by actually participating. I urge you to come back to NHS and

re-light the lamps in the tunnels of your memory and see for yourself, inour case, how great the Class of ’68 turned out. You will simultaneouslysee, recognize, and feel proud of, why our Class of 1968 has the highestreunion attendance—a number which we plan to exceed for the 45thReunion in 2013 and beyond!!

Around campus, what was heard often and very loud was the soundof laughter, not only from my classmates and others but also from theformer and current faculty members as we all traded war stories, anec-dotes and (wow!) “Secrets of New Hampton.” The latter prompting onealumnus to repeatedly say, “Put it in the book!”

I had a wonderful time. No, make that a fantastic time! I’m lookingforward to the coming reunions in 2013 and 2018. I would love to see youthere and then—so save the date(s) and plan on being at NHS for our45th and 50th reunions. The rest of you please attend your importantmilestone reunion years and remember NHS generously by contributingto this great institution—200 years old in 2021! My very best to you alland your families.

Draft 7 (15SEP08)


Hello friends,

If you missed Reunion 2008 you missed a very good time. We hadfun renewing old friendships and telling old stories, which got betterwith each telling!

At the reunion dinner for the Class of 1958, a number of mysterieswere solved. Did you know that multi >lm theaters were born in theprojection booth in Madan Auditorium at NHS, all demerits assignedto Jon Bartel ’59 were the result of mistaken identity, Bob Smart had agirlfriend seen with him on the beach of Cape Cod, and that mattressmoving was a varsity sport which took place after Commencement?

Unsolved mysteries: How did the sailboat get into the pond? Howdid Bob Smart’s VW get into so may extraordinary places? Onrecord, we have Gnerre’s garage, the auditorium, the dining room,the dumpster—anyone want to confess?

Reunion 2008 was the largest in New Hampton’s history. Twenty-seven former faculty returned. Everyone had a great opportunity tovisit with each of the teachers and complain about their grades.Peter Sterling and Tom Elmer sent regrets. Maybe next year. Peterand Tom are retired, Peter living in North Carolina and Tom living inColorado. Blake Babcock notes a news gap from 1965–74—Judy andBlake’s years at NHS. Help me remedy that problem. Let me hearfrom you!

A big reason for the large reunion turnout was the celebration forBud and Jinga Moore. A tribute well deserved came in the form ofspeeches from past and present board chairs Phil O’Hara ’51, BobKennedy ’50, and Jason Pilalas ’58. During Jason’s speech he namedthe new math and science building that will stand in Randall’s place.Sorry—title unable to be printed!

Former Glee Club members under the direction of Norm Farwelland T. H. Moore provided outstanding entertainment—a great jobon very short notice.

Well, Randall Hall is gone. The old girl did not give up any of hersecrets. I half expected to discover secret passages and see truck-loads of empty beer cans, but it didn’t happen and “the Brick”passed quietly into history. (Please note that the Randall bricks are forsale; see page 8 for details.)

I’ve heard from a number of you—too numerous to mention all,but here are a few: Ken Holbert ’69 writes, referring to the Class of1969 as the “younger generation” and continues to give me aggra-vation in the form of mocking my computer skills. Class of 1969, I’llbe calling you soon about your 40th Reunion, May 29–31, 2009. Didyou know Randy Johnson is in Los Angeles working in the produc-tion sound end of the >lm industry? Ricardo Vargas ’58 was sorry tomiss his 50th NHS Reunion but we are pleased to be back in touchwith him.

The next time you hear from me, I will have had a knee replace-ment to go along with my hip replacement. I’m half of a bionic man.The “Golden Years” are brass at best. Someone said the Golden Yearsare golden because those are the years during which you give the doc-tors all your gold!

Keep those cards and letters coming folks, and get back often tovisit your school.

Best regards,

Lou GnerreAlumni Ambassador

“After the project I am working on is

class of 1945Harold Callis sent in a photo

from 1944–45 (see page 51) and asks

that anyone in the picture who is

“still moving" to get in touch with

posed some interesting questions

back to the Alumni OYce, such as

“Do the students still jump oV the

and “Is the Post OYce still part of a

Bill Kerchof writes, “Just returned

deserved recognition for Yukon

Dawson City, Yukon Territory,

Canada. Not only was he presented

with an honorary Wre chief’s badge

for his seventy-ninth birthday, he

was featured in Canada’s Up Here

magazine (April/May 2008), and

has been appointed to the Order of

Canada. His many recent honors

include a Commissioner’s Award for

hot rods in the 1950s. I Wgured out

in one semester that traditional col-

the automotive aftermarket as an

Salem, MA. After a couple of years,

with marriage to the mother of my

two children in the midst, I became

the division sales manager for a spe-

cialty chemical company that I

helped develop, then national sales

manager after that—all the while

involved with racing cars. We were

way ahead of our time! I ran a speed

shop in 1968–79, and began a real

estate business in 1970 with a full-

time partner. I did real estate

focused on the market on Martha’s

Vineyard. We’re still racing and still

doing real estate on the Vineyard, in

St. Croix, and in New Mexico. Health

day is good enough!"

Jim Van Vranken writes, “Me and

my ‘girlfriend’ (wife Gail) are coming

up on our 50th anniversary; she’s

never seen the New England foliage

season!" Jim has been busy selling

processing equipment for almost

forty years with The Ross Group of

Companies, an exciting challenge

which he dearly loves even more

than Wshing! He promises to visit

New Hampton School very soon.

class of 1957Carter Haff shares that he and

his wife Vonnie had a wonderful

trip to Antarctica with Lindblad

Expeditions/National Geographic in

November 2007. More recently, their

seventh grandchild arrived in May;

Vonnie and Carter attended and

thoroughly enjoyed the gala celebra-

tion honoring T. Holmes ’38 and

Jinga Moore.

class of 1958Ed Rose adds his own accolades for

Reunion Weekend 2008: “My wife

Lorraine and I recently attended my

50th Class Reunion at New

Hampton and we both had a blast!

Attended T. H. and Jinga’s 70th and

it was more than expected.

Outstanding! The mood and energy

of everyone there, the terriWc food

and service, and especially the

friendship Xowed like the wine at

each end of the tent. I can’t compli-

ment the entire administrative and

kitchen staV enough (the food was

incredible). I can’t say enough posi-

tive things. It was terriWc meeting

the new head of school and seeing

all the wonderful things happening.

I was particularly impressed with the

level of funding in the new T.

Holmes and Norma Jean Moore

Scholarship Fund and the new con-

struction underway. Thank you all

again for a special, never-to-be-for-

gotten weekend."

In recounting the wonderful time

he had celebrating his 50th reunion,

Jim Salvucci returned home to

learn that his wife, Janice, was pro-

moted to professor of Wne and

applied arts at Curry College. Jim

also works at Curry and threatens to

never retire because he is having too

much fun!

Ricardo Vargas recently contacted

Lou Gnerre and shared the following:

“I have worked primarily as managers

of banks both public and private in

Costa Rica. I am retired although I

keep myself busy as president of the

board of a private school and as an

advisor on Wnancial matters to com-

panies. I married in 1963, proud

father of Wve children (three boys and

two girls) and eleven grandchildren.

The oldest lives in California. Give

my best regards to T. J. Fitzgerald, Ed

Ross, Hooper Cutler, Jim Shattuck,

Jason Pilalas, and tell them I am very

sorry I missed them at Reunion."

class of 1959Sandy Levine happily reports that

he will be a grandfather in

September. He practices immigration

law in Arlington, VA, and has branch

oYces in India and in Pakistan,

where he regularly travels.

Fred Slamin and David Lucey ’60

forged a lasting friendship as stu-

dent athletes. They held a mini-

reunion recently at Cape Coral

Hospital in Florida. Fred was

recouperating from prostate surgery

and Dave from rotator cuV surgery.

Both claim that hard battles from

years ago on New Hampton’s athletic

Welds are beginning to take their toll.

class of 1962Alden Johnson shares the follow-

ing update: “While on a recent trip

to babysit for our grandchildren in

France we made a visit to Germany

to meet Karl Alt, who had found my

father’s dog tags. My father was a B-

17 pilot and was shot down and

killed during the second raid on

Schwienfurt, Germany, also known

as Black Thursday. He found the tags

and some pieces of the plane after

the war. Karl’s brother was also killed

in the war. We toured the crash site

and temporary burial site where six

crew members were buried, and

other crash sites in the region."

class of 1963National Public Radio’s “The Story”

program interviewed Gary

Margolis, PhD last spring.

Margolis read “The Interview," a

poem he wrote to Specialist Monica

Brown, a medic and the Wrst woman

to be awarded the Silver Star for

service and bravery in Iraq. Gary is

beginning his thirty-seventh year as

director of Middlebury College’s

Mental Health Services.

class of 1964Tom Adams sends greetings to his

classmates, adding, “It was neat

recalling memories of Bud and Jinga.

I have a computer job that requires

me to be available immediately when

needed. It’s nice to be a necessity

career-wise during my sixty-second

year. Nevertheless, I kept recalling

nhs during 1963–64, and wondered

where everyone is now? I live in a

converted barn in Chatsworth, CA,

but my mailing address is P.O. Box

5817, Ventura, CA 93005-0817. If any

of you happen through the area,

please contact me. My kids are in

Cambridge and New Haven. One

eloped last November, the other

plans a wedding in June. Alas, my

job requires that I skip the latter. I

prefer elopement. Cheers to all!"

class of 1965Gordon Miller, Jr., recently shared

the following update: “My family and I

continue to reside in Lebanon, NJ, on

a small horse farm where we have been

for twenty-eight years. I am the direc-

tor of risk for a family oYce where I

analyze and recommend hedge fund

investments for the group. We have

two children both in their twenties

now, neither married, so alas no grand

children. I continue to have very fond

memories of my time at New

Hampton and hope in the near future

to visit. My best wishes to all. I have

recently changed my e-mail address to

trustees


In October, Chairman of the New HamptonSchool Board of Trustees Jason Pilalas ’58will be succeeded by Chairman-elect PeterW. Galletly ’73. This transition re?ects ahealthy school and two men who share alove for their alma mater, an appreciation ofservice, and a deep mutual respect.

Each remains steadfastly committed tothe New Hampton School culture and com-munity which sheltered, challenged, anduniquely transformed them. It was entirely>tting then that they shared this spring’sgroundbreaking ceremony for the newMath-Science Center, as joyously depictedabove. The conceptualization of the centerand its initial construction are among themany signi>cant achievements of Pilalas’ssoon-to-be-completed tenure, just as surelyas next year’s completion and dedication ofthe facility will represent highpoints ofGalletly’s turn at the helm.

Jason and Peter are both talented profes-sionals who lead passionately by example,though each defers personal credit. Theirservice to New Hampton School is unsel>shand unwavering, yet this represents just onefacet of their lives, for both are also successfulbusinessmen, devoted family members, andearnest contributors to their communities.

Their hard work and dedication is leav-ened with warmth and humor. Peoplenaturally feel at ease and accepted in theirencouraging presence.

New Hampton School is very fortunateindeed. When the board chair’s baton ispassed in October, the school’s highest levelof leadership and stewardship will continuewithout missing a beat.

If New Hampton School is measured by numbers alone, it has beenthe most successful year in the school’s fundraising history. NewHampton School closed its >scal year on June 30, 2008, havingreceived $4,936,918 in gifts to the school. Led by two gifts of over$1,000,000 each, NHS has proven itself a worthy partner in philan-thropic investments at the highest level. With all of our support inmind, it is my pleasure, as chair of New Hampton School’sDevelopment Committee, to share the following Report of Gifts forthe 2007–08 year.

And what a year it has been! With a powerful new Strategic Planas our roadmap, New Hampton School is surging ahead in everyarea, led by the growing support of our alumni, parents, friends, andtrustees of the school. With your support, New Hampton School fac-ulty and students have the tools and resources they need to providea world-class education, grounded in the principles that have de>nedthe school for over a century: excellence in education and a commit-ment to social service in our community.

If you have not been back to New Hampton recently, I encourageyou to return. The campus is vibrant and full of machinery! The newMath-Science Center is growing steadily from the ground up and itlooks spectacular. Internally, new programs like Chinese(to begin inSeptember) and the addition of a new global curriculum coordinatorare signs that NHS is on the move. Come back to school—you willbe amazed.

A few highlights of the year include the following:

r An anonymous pledge of $4,000,000 was completed this year,leading the way in the construction of the new Math-ScienceCenter to be dedicated in September 2009.

r A gift of $1,200,00 from Robert D. Kennedy ’50 and his wife, Sally,provided the capital for a new synthetic turf >eld, invaluable in thechallenging New England climate.

r Alumni pledged $1,100,000 for the T. Holmes ’38 and Norma JeanMoore Scholarship Fund (toward an ultimate goal of $2,500,000).

r Faculty and Sta= reached 92 percent participation in the Annual Fund.r Over 430 alumni, parents, and friends of the school returned for

Reunion Weekend and the Bud and Jinga Moore Gala.

These are just a few of the wonderful successes the school hasenjoyed this year. In the past three years New Hampton School has

realized 37 percent growth in the Annual Fund to a record total of$824,618 this year. The school raced past the unrestricted goal, hit-ting $744,457. Support for NHS came from all corners of the campusand the globe. Led by our trustees with 100 percent support, our fac-ulty and sta= set an all-time record with 92 percent participation—awonderful achievement. Parent participation was an impressive 58percent and alumni participation grew to 13 percent. Thank you toeveryone who participated in the Annual Fund e=ort! My deepestgratitude to Alumni Fund Chair J. Philip O’Hara ’51; Parents FundChairs Karen and Timothy Saunders P’08; Parents of Alumni FundChairs Sanders and Jeanne Abrahams P’07; Grandparent Fund ChairSheila Weeks P’81, GP’08, ’09; and Faculty and Sta= Fund Chairs andRepresentatives David Per>eld, Stacey Redman, Maureen Huber,Beth Grosart, and Cory McClure.

Reunion giving played a big role in the total dollars raised for theschool this year. Support from Reunion year alumni was over $236,521.The school enjoyed the help of many volunteers, parents, alumni, andstudent callers, who collectively raised over $60,000 through success-ful phonathon e=orts. Thank you to all of our volunteers.

From the Boston Museum of Science Skyline Room to the NHSGolf Classic, school events drew ever-increasing crowds. ReunionWeekend 2008 was capped with a gala celebration honoring Bud andJinga Moore. Over 430 alumni, former and current faculty, trustees,family, and friends gathered under a festive white tent on May 31 tohonor and celebrate the Moores.

On behalf of the board of trustees, thank you for your ongoinggenerosity and support. We do not take your gifts for granted—everygift, of every size, represents an investment in the future of ourschool community of over 8,000 students, alumni, parents, trustees,faculty, sta=, and friends. For the tangible and intangible support youprovide, I o=er my personal thanks.

Respectfully,

Bud Moore. Lou Gnerre. Sam Worthen. Sumner Hawley. HarrisonGolden. Mark Tilton. After three years at New Hampton School theseNHS legends are >rmly planted in my mind. Traveling across thecountry, meeting alumni and parents, I have had the chance to hearhundreds of stories about the celebrated >gures who helped createthe history of our school; but faculty are only one part of the equa-tion—without students, without alumni, there would be no school.

To all New Hampton School alumni I say: “welcome home.”Again and again, throughout the course of our Reunion Weekend,

when we celebrated Bud and Jinga Moore’s decades of contributions,I heard alumni say they felt like they were coming home. We have?ung the doors wide open and I hope all of you will return to campusto see what’s happening. You will be amazed. We are incredibly proudof the direction NHS is headed. This year your school secured multi-million dollar support usually reserved for colleges and universities.With $4,000,000 from an anonymous donor the new Math-ScienceCenter is growing from the ground, and a million dollars from RobertD. Kennedy ’50 and his wife, Sally, built our new turf >eld.

And this was just the beginning. Alumni and parents made hundredsof gifts that herald a new era of investment in New Hampton School—and for this support we say thank you! We hope you will agree that NHSis worthy of your support and we’ll work hard to gain it.

To accomplish the goals the school has laid out, the Alumni andDevelopment O;ce has added new sta=. New Hampton School wel-comed Pam Susi as assistant director of annual giving last fall andJerrica Gray as gifts administrator and planned giving assistant in thespring. On July 1 two new sta= formally came on board: RyannMcCann, administrative assistant, and David Per>eld, developmento;cer. We are thrilled to welcome these key new additions to theteam. These new sta= join a well-honed crew that includes CindyBuck, director of alumni and parent relations; Sarah DeBenedictis,director of annual giving; and Lou Gnerre, alumni ambassador.

We are here to serve you. In the coming months and years youwill be hearing more from us as we add new publications to our out-reach (both in print and electronically) and host events both nearand far. Those of you whom I have met, I look forward to seeing youagain soon, and for those we have not been in touch with, welcomeback—we can’t wait to see you here on campus.

Best wishes,

How a vacation home became a scholarship fund.How a vacation home became a scholarship fund.

George and Sandra Fearons always had the

highest regard for New Hampton School. Their son,

George Fearons ’92, got his start at nhs and inspired

a successful career in sales. George and Sandra want-

ed to help New Hampton School and did so by mak-

ing a gift of real estate—a vacation home in Lovell,

Maine. With help from George and Sandra, New

Hampton School sold this home and used the proceeds to establish The George

and Sandra Fearons Endowed Scholarship Fund.

“New Hampton School had a wonderful impact on our son’s life,” said Fearons.

“Sandra would be delighted to know that our home in Maine was transformed into

a scholarship fund at nhs. We are grateful for the experience that nhs gave our son

and we are thrilled to give back in this way.”

You, too, can help make the New Hampton School experience a reality for a

needy student by donating property, including homes and land, or by gifting stock

to the school. For more information or gift ideas, please contact Sandy Colhoun at

[email protected] or call directly at 603.677.3413.

� � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � �� Back in the day, you sewed your own team logo onto your uni-

form, in addition to supplying everything else but the game

deld. Today, New Hampton School athletes can focus on the

game itself, thanks in part to the Annual Fund.

While tuition represents a good portion of our annual budget,

it does not cover the entire cost of a New Hampton School edu-

cation. Additional funding, including contributions to the Annual

Fund, is used to supplement tuition so that we can meet our

annual commitments.

The Annual Fund is one of New Hampton School’s most

important sources of unrestricted income. It directly supports

the people and programs at New Hampton School, from faculty

salaries to dnancial aid, athletic equipment to course materials.

The Annual Fund helps keep the school healthy and operating.

No matter what size, every gift to the Annual Fund makes a

real difference to the school. Each contribution goes directly to

funding the necessities. Thanks to your support and the support

of other Hamptonians, no needle and thread are required. �
