cover: fappelling It all begins at the bottom of a rickety ladder—looking up, I can discern the light filtering through the small door seventy feet above me. With ropes, gloves and helmet dangling from my shoulders, I begin the upward climb. A few minutes later, caked with cobwebs and dust, I step around the steel support beam and squeeze onto the roof of the tower. A t this height a cool breeze blows, but the sun is warm and the view is breathtaking. Mr. Zeigler checks all the equipment and begins to anchor the ropes while I put on the carabiner. He threads one rope through the carabiner and ties one tightly around my waist. Putting on the gloves and helmet, I scramble over the edge and lower myself to the familiar foothold in the wall. With a final glance down between my feet at the two ropes stretching all that way down to the garth, I lean back until I am perpendicular to the wall. Now, as I release the rope in my right hand and push out with my legs, I move out and down. The pace is fast, and with each successive jump, I increase my speed and distance. I pass the bells, a window, avoid the light, and then I am firmly on the ground. The whole trip lasts only thirty seconds, but the feeling of exhilaration while flying down the tower at breakneck speed is great. Peter Orth '82

headmaster's letter At least a dozen times a year, parents or friends of a headmaster question the attraction of his job. I have always been amused by such inquiries, for I think headmastering is the best job in the world. Of course, I understand why the issue is raised. Being the parent of teenaged children taxes one's patience (sanity?) at least a few times a year (a week? a day?). Being in loco parentis to a school full of teenagers compounds the problem. Yet if the terrain traversed by parents and headmasters has occasional depressions, it has many more plateaus and some spectacular peaks. In fact, traveling with our teenagers as they move from puberty to adulthood is the single greatest reward our roles offer us. In particular, as parents and teachers of teenagers, we have the opportunity to share one of the great moments life offers—the sudden realization that our bumbling? daydreaming? grouchy? lazy? selfabsorbed? good-for-nothing? child or student has miraculously joined the human race. This epiphany can strike us at any time or place - a late night talk, washing dishes, a family game of doubles which doesn't end with a family argument, etc. When and wherever it occurs, it is a miraculous, almost religious experience which somehow reaffirms our reason for being. Parents whose first child reaches the teens may not believe in such miracles. The same may be said of young teachers. Facing the slovenly, the argumentative, the irresponsible and the dull of eye for the first time is a traumatic experience which can shatter the strongest faith! In The Great Gatsby, Nick Carroway remarks that "reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope." I think the statement makes sense. I also think it is one which parents and teachers would do well to remember when overwhelmed by a frustrating teenager. That bigfooted, gangly II Former who creates such atrocities on the third level basketball team may one day be your 6 foot 4 inch, 190 pound "Dr. J." That yawning back-bencher in your Algebra I class may one day be your premier calculus student. The most intolerable of all III Form brats, the one who accumulated 382 marks for miscellaneous assults on your sanity as his corridor master, may one day be your even-tempered, sagacious VI Form prefect who patiently counsels his newly minted III Form clone. The frightened, homesick little person you worried so much about during her first year may soon be the confident leading lady in a school play. Can anyone doubt that watching such growth is its own reward? Of course, this special kind of job satisfaction is often delayed. Our judgment must frequently be reserved and our hopes prolonged far beyond the date our students graduate from St. Andrew's. Yet our satisfaction is no less when we learn, in later years, that the one who gave us the greatest cause for concern as a student here has become one of those we are most proud to call a St. Andrean. There is no set timetable for joining and contributing to the human race! Each has his own internal clock. Perhaps the greatest sin we can commit as teachers is to lose our faith and hope that each of our students will "make it" in his or her own good time. The 1980-81 year has had its share of disappointments and hopes prolonged, but it has also been filled with miracles of the kind I have mentioned. Academically, athletically and artistically, it has been one of our most successful years. Our VI Form college placement record is impressive; our teams have displayed exceptionally fine spirit and sportsmanship, and many have been unusually talented; our choir (composed of close to one quarter of the student body), bands and actors have performed superbly. More importantly, our student body, on the whole, has been as cooperative and enjoyable to work with as any I have ever known. They seem to care a great deal for each other and for St. Andrew's. Like their parents and teachers, they are inevitably affected to one degree or another by the social changes which are sweeping our society today, but they strike me as being an unusually responsible group when it comes to those things that matter most—concern for one another and concern for the future of their country and their world. In short, it has been rewarding to have been part of the trials and triumphs of the past year—to have walked through the valleys of failure and climbed the peaks of success and elation with these young men and women. If nothing else, living with and teaching teenagers is an emotional experience, filled with feeling. It's a wonderful job. —Jonathan B. O'Brien


Gahagan and Miller '47 new members of the board of trustees EDGAR RAYMOND MILLER, JR. graduated from St. Andrew's in 1947, Dartmouth College in 1951 and Harvard Medical School in 1954. He interned at the Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York, where he specialized in vascular surgery. In 1956, Dr. Miller served as a medical officer in the Navy in Antarctica. Presently, he is an assistant professor of Clinical Surgery at the Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia, Chief General Surgeon at the Wilmington Medical Center and consultant to the A. I. DuPont Institute in Wilmington. He is married to the former Jane McEttrick, and they have five children: Catherine, Edgar III '74, Alfred Scott, John Jacob and Missy. For many years Dr. Miller has extended his profession into his hobby, and the synthesis has taken him all over the world. He has been active in international medicine, especially in the private programs in the Third World countries. In 1960, Dr. Miller and his wife worked for two months in the United Mission Hospital in Katmandu, Nepal, an institution founded by his parents. In 1978, they returned for a second stint in Katmandu. In the interim, they had served in Vietnam teaching Vietnamese doctors at the Da Nang Military Hospital under the auspices of Care-Medico; with Project Hope in Ganado, Arizona, in a Navajo hospital assisting and advising Navajo doctors in medical and administrative matters; in Granfeld Mission, Newfoundland, during 1974 and in Kabul, Afghanistan, for several months. Most recently, Dr. Miller spent two weeks as an exchange lecturer in the Peoples Republic of China, giving a series of talks on vascular surgery. At St. Andrew's, Dr. "Tyke" Miller won varsity letters in football, crew and wrestling, and he served as a praefect, as a vice-president of his class and as a member of the Criss Cross (theater) Club. In 1974, Dr. Miller received the Headmaster's Award to Alumni for Outstanding Public Service.

KATHERINE DUPONT GAHAGAN graduated from St. Anne's School in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1950, and attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts. Mrs. Gahagan is ViceChairman of the Board of Trustees of the Taft School in Watertown, Connecticut and in her second term on the Board, serves on the Development, Building and Grounds and Nominating Committees. She also is Vice-President and Head of the Fund Drive for Planned Parenthood of Nassau County and Secretary of the Episcopal Church Women of St. John's of Lattingtown on Long Island. Married to William Gerli Gahagan, she has lived in California, Puerto Rico and now resides in Oyster Bay on Long Island. Katherine Gahagan, or "Kitten" as she is known to her family, is the mother of four sons: Lexi, 25, a crew member of the Freedom which raced the Australia last summer in the America's Cup Race; Hoyt, 23, presently studying at New England College; Robin, 20, a junior at Middlebury; and Terry, 18, a senior at Locust Valley High School. All of the Gahagan boys play ice hockey and are fortunate to have a loyal, enthusiastic fan in their mother. Together, the family loves to sail and competed in the Bermuda Race in 1976.


Good Luck, Chris and Mary Ella Chris Boyle accepts administrative position at St. Gregory's High School, Tucson, Arizona When Chris and Mary Ella Boyle arrived on campus in September, 1955, complete with daughters Cathy and Anne and several years' teaching experience behind them, they immediately captivated the entire community with their enthusiasm, professional expertise and many talents. Those of us who were here then remember well the frequent social occasions when Chris was ready at a moment's notice to regale us with stories, or when Mary Ella, accompanying herself on an autoharp, sang lovely songs that remain etched clearly in memory. Within a very short time both were firmly entrenched in St. Andrew's and the adjacent community. They became mainstays of St. Anne's Parish in town, both in parish activities and as regular members of the choir. They sang at our own Christmas services, Mary Ella adding joy and beauty to a choir in those days consisting primarily of adolescent male voices. From the very beginning, Chris became an integral member of the English Department, his popular courses highly regarded by all students who had the good fortune to be taught by him. He made an already-strong department stronger and more vigorous. From 1970 on, as an innovative chairman of the English Department and a member of the Academic Committee, Chris's contributions to the program were significant and the department evolved continuously. Over the years Chris taught English at every level; he was no specialist, but a champion teacher of both literature and writing skills. His art and wisdom were not limited to the classroom - addresses he gave to the faculty and the student body, formal, extemporaneous or even short introductions for a visiting speaker, were masterpieces of expression. Chris received his baccalaureate degree from Amherst in 1952 (he received his M.Ed, from Harvard in 1959), a somewhat remarkable achievement considering he commuted regularly between college and Mt. Holyoke where Mary Ella Morris was pursuing her own academic career. Upon graduation and marriage, they went to St. Stephen's Episcopal School in Austin, Texas, where Chris taught for two years before moving to Worcester Academy in Massachusetts. It was there, after only a

year, that St. Andrew's found them and persuaded their growing family to move to Delaware. They took up residence in the north apartment over the old study hall, now the Business Office, and remained there serving the usual apprenticeship of all corridor masters before going to the Annex, then to the large house which, for a whole generation of St. Andreans, will always be the "Boyles' house." During their years here, their family grew as Russell '74 and Elizabeth '78 arrived to enlarge the campus faculty children ratpack which roamed about terrorizing one another, exasperating students and causing faculty non-parents to blanch. (I speak with authority, having contributed to that group five to the Boyles' four.) Those were happy days for families on campus. I remember one impossible task given me to photograph all faculty children, plus dogs, on the bleachers in one sitting. All were captured, but not in repose, and the active Boyles were all there, save Elizabeth who, being brand new, was represented on her sister's lap by a large doll. In 1962-63 Chris received a grant under the Smith-Mundt Act, enabling the Boyles to go to Finland for a sabbatical year. This began a long affiliation with that northern country, to which they returned several times and which they served here during the summers by conducting programs for the Finnish-American Society. Over the years Chris performed with astonishing versatility beyond his teaching and departmental administrative duties. He coached football, wrestling and was our girls' first varsity volleyball coach, getting

that sport underway with some exciting victories. Chris's other contributions over the years are so many they can only be listed, which does little service to the years and thoughtful hours he provided for each: committees included academic, athletic, library, social activities, visiting speakers and performers, mini-term and recreation. Furthermore, he was advisor to the College Statement program, Debate Club and instructed students in one of his great loves, scuba diving. In 1980 he received the 25year Service Medal from St. Andrew's. During busy years of being a faculty wife and raising four children, Mary Ella still found time to teach at Tower Hill and Broadmeadow Schools, to work at the University of Delaware as an administrator and to remain active in a large number of community affairs. Both their lives here have been ones of service and dedication, and it is difficult to think of St. Andrew's without them. What cheers us, however, is that Chris has gone on to a wonderful new and challenging career as Academic Dean and Chairman of the English Department at St. Gregory's High School in Tucson, Arizona, which he helped start during his recent sabbatical leave. It is good to know that St. Andreans broaden the world wherever they go, and that St. Gregory's and Arizona are the richer for having the Boyles settle there. A quarter of a century of affection and admiration go with them to their new lives. Bill Amos for St. Andrew's

elderhostel

a.p. conference at SAS

Colonial Realities, Axioms of Freud and Eliot, and Blends of Water Colors will compete for the time and energy of eighty Elderhostelers this June as St. Andrew's embarks on its second year of sponsorship for the National Elderhostel Program. Two weeks of instruction given to forty hostelers each week will commence Monday, June 15. Our faculty this year will feature Nancy Mein, John Garrick and Cole Carothers, each teaching one course developed from his or her background in history, literature and the studio arts. Last year's program was such a success that within the first ten days of national registration for this year, our program was completely filled and a deep wait list established. We look forward to working with another exciting group of hostelers this June and we hope to build on last year's achievements.

On Tuesday, April 28th, over two hundred teachers from the Middle Atlantic region converged on St. Andrew's to attend a conference on the College Board's Advanced Placement Program. The conference, organized by the Middle States Regional Office of the College Board and hosted by St. Andrew's, provided an opportunity for teachers to discuss the structure, content and organization of Advanced Placement courses, teaching approaches and the grading of the AP exams.

eaten at cafeteria meals, something which would be frowned upon in my old school, where anorexia was the modern " Black Death" to the governors. But like every school, St. Andrew's does have its problems, largely compounded by the drinking (alcoholic) laws in Delaware. As I am not a full-time student here (in fact one could describe St. Andrew's as a "base" for me), it is difficult to comment upon the system or the School thoroughly. But today, I had what one always sees as an English public school experience over here—I rowed for the first time. Passing through the pain barrier is supposed to bring one closer to oneself. I'm a very together person now! Sally Jackson

hemingway conference John Garrick, recently appointed head of the English Department and a specialist in the work of Ernest Hemingway, was one of the speakers at a Hemingway conference at the John F. Kennedy Library, Boston, on May 20th. Dr. Garrick's subject was the documentary film The Spanish Earth, which Hemingway narrated and helped to make by way of a contribution to the Loyalist effort during the Spanish Civil War. Collaborating with Dr. Garrick on the presentation was Professor Frank Laurence of Mississippi University for Women, who has just published a book on Hemingway in films.

two weeks on a Caribbean island — haiti

"Personally, I gained a lot of courage and willingness to try new things, along with having my open-mindedness and adaptability put to the test. I learned to paint. The dirtiness and poverty did not affect me nearly as much as I thought they would, hardly at all, in fact. The eight of us did something that St. Andrew's has never done beforehand, under frequently hard conditions, made the best of it." AlecRooney '82

Two weeks in the Caribbean?! What a great way to spend Miniterm! It wasn't to be a cruise through the islands, it wasn't to be a scuba diving expedition, nor was it to be R & R for sun worshippers; but it was to be a working and learning experience for the eight of us (seven students and myself). In a Wednesday night chapel service, Bishop Clark talked about St. Vincent's School for Handicapped Children in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. In January, the thought of warm weather appealed to me as I talked further with Rev. Lane, Head of Ihe Haitian Committee, and learned that St. Vincent's is one of the projects supported by the Diocese of Delaware's "Adventure in Mission." That started the wheels turning in my mind, and a few hectic weeks later, we stepped off the plane at Duvalier Airport with high hopes and only slightly faint hearts. We had so little knowledge of Haiti, or what we'd be doing, despite the kind efforts of diocesans Del Glover and Becky Richardson who shared with us their Haiti experience before we left. There were three things the students uniformly say they will remember vividly: the ride from the airport to the school that first day through very noisy, very bright streets of Port-au-Prince; the Carnaval with all its exaggerated sights and sounds; and the trip up to Henri Christophers Citadelle outside Cap Haiti en. And everywhere, crowds of people. Although it may not provide so vivid a mental picture, certainly our experience living with the students and staff at St. Vincent's was the overridingly important one of the trip. We saw again and again (indeed a thousand times a day in a million different ways) people helping each other. Our task was to give the doors and shutters of the two-story buildings surrounding the courtyard a bright new coat of paint and to play with the pre-schoolers. In view of their tremendous problems, our offering seemed slight, but it was accepted with such grace and thanks—and such smiles!—that we felt apart of St. Vincent's for two weeks. We hope that, together with the visit of the St. Vincent's Bell Choir to St. Andrew's, also during Miniterm, our trip will become the basis for a sustained and mutually beneficial relationship between our two schools. Aside from the fact that we had two beautiful weeks in the warm Caribbean sunshine, I think each of us saw some things that will change the way we live our lives. That's a successful trip. Our thanks to everyone who made it possible—parents, colleagues, the Diocese and the administration of both schools! Carolyn Cantlay

'The reason Carnaval is my most memorable experience is because we celebrated the occasion with the Haitians. It was a chance for me not to feel like such a "Blanc." What I'm trying to convey is that I lost the feeling of being an outsider and could really enjoy the people." Chandler Luke '81

7 think that I would say that the night we sat on the street during the Carnaval was my most memorable experience. ... I felt really at ease and was enjoying the excitement that seemed to be flying around. I didn 'tfeel like an outsider, but a part of everything." Scott Weimer '82

"The best way I could ever express the purpose of our trip would be through two words— learn and help. As a group, I think our painting was the route to these two words. I don't think the kids will remember us as individuals, but every time they look at the shutters and doors, hopefully some extra happiness will be brought to their day. " Chandler Luke '81

"Ifeel that the trip was more than I expected because I got to see the bad and good sides of Haiti. I felt that the purpose of our trip was to help the poor country of Haiti in any way that we could, and we did this by painting the doors of St. Vincent's School." JeffDaut '83

Scott Weimer '82 and Carolyn Cantlay hard at work on the School's shutters.

"Most memorable was the hike up to the Citadelle. The heat and exhaustion while going up, the brilliant sun and the aweinspiring building itself—I've never done anything like it before. Most vividly, I remember night time in PortAu-Prince—the lights and colors, the sounds of the cars and the music, and that "PortA u-Prince'' smell.'' AlecRooney '82 8

"The trip was more than I had expected, not only because of the good times we had, but because I had a feeling that I became part of the Haitian society. I don't think that the entire trip was spent on our original purpose, working at St. Vincent's. I think the purpose of our trip was for us to benefit from the Haitian society, and the Haitian society benefitted from our work at St. Vincent's. Personally, I gained a respect for the people of Haiti by understanding their way of life, and I feel we all gained this respect as a group, too.'' Andrew Oliphant '83


' 'Many of the shacks and decrepit old buildings that lined the fetid streets looked as though they might collapse if someone were to lean against them; houses being constructed were decaying in the process; everything appeared so congested; sewers ran above ground; some people, especially children, barely had the necessities for life. Until I saw all of this, I did not know what real poverty was; I never realized just how incredibly fortunate I am." 9 Jill Chase 82

"Besides working together and learning through that, I got to learn more about my classmates." Scott Weimer '82

John Chapman '83 with one of his many newfound friends.

The "Reach out and Touch Wall" at Saint Vincent's School

"I suppose the things that mil stick in my mind most clearly are the opening ceremonies of their school day and the ' 'Reach Out and Touch'' wall with all the handprints. The amazing thing about the ceremonies was that afterwards, they all helped each other to their classrooms. The whole idea of "Reaching Out'' not only applied to volunteers but also to the kids." Chandler Luke '81

"Ifeel that while in Haiti, I did a pretty good job of getting to know some of the kids at the school and the other Haitians we met while on the trip. I think the most important thing we accomplished as a group was what we didn 't accomplish, and that is, establish bad feelings between the people at the school and St. Andrew's. We left there giving a very good impression of SAS." John Chapman '83 9

* We saw again and again (indeed a thousand times a day in a million different ways) people helping each other. " Carolyn Cantlay

' 'Personally, I feel that I accomplished a great deal. I have had the privileged opportunity of observing the way in which many of the people, both in and outside the school, had had to live; and I hope it has made me a better person. In the future I would like to pursue a career which would enable me to help people less fortunate than I am—people that don't have a chance to better their lives because they were never given one.

carnival Roll up, Roll up! Come and join the fabulous, the fascinating, the fanciful, the famous fantasia of festive folks in "Carnival"— the greatest show in the entire history of the United States of America, in the entire history of Europe, in the entire history of the World. Yes, folks, in the entire history of Middletown, Delaware.


The Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris has arrived to bring you the ultimate collection of artistes, singers, acrobats, magicians and dancers ever assembled under the bright lights and towering canvas of the circus. Yet the Eighth Wonder of the World contains not only the varied delights and mysteries of the circus, it is also, ladies and gentlemen, a heart-rending story of Love, a story of a young girl, Lili, innocent as the May and as wholesome as Apple Pie (yorkshire pudding if you happen to be English). Drawn to the bright lights to seek her fortune, beset by dangers too horrible to mention, buffeted by the cruel whims of fate, dear Lili triumphs. She remains always hopeful, always singing. On her rise to fame and fortune, Lili meets a star-studded cast of circus folks. It is an epic of magicians and mistresses, of puppets and puppeteers, of dancers and deceivers, all brought together at extravagant expense for your pleasure! But let not these stars of stage and screen remain anonymous, for there is Cynthia Taylor '81 as Lili, Andy Gaylord '81 as Marco the Magnificent, Chris Flint '81 as Berthalet, Sarah Stivers '83 as Rosalie and many, many more of equal stature. Presiding over all this exotic potpourri of talent is the Grand Circus Master "Suttonovitch," an artiste by profession, teacher by hobby. Through his varied skills, this musical extravaganza is brought to you. He is aided and abetted by the master of musical marksmanship, "Chebanissimo," who not only plays a virtuoso piano but also gives private performances of mumbling to himself and cackling at nothing . . . Amazing! Then, ladies and gents, there are the songs; songs of love and joy, songs of despair and sadness, songs of laughter and hope, all performed with amazing gusto by the stars and chorus. Yet still there is more, for the troupe of dancers cannot be forgotten, a troupe trained in the courts of Europe to perform dances of amazing intricacy in front of royal personages and members of the aristocracy, and never before seen by the general public. "This must be all," you say in tones of pure amazement. NO! There are still the puppets; lovingly created by that famed puppetmaker, Carothers, after years of unceasing toil. The puppets form a show within a show. Skillfully manipulated by trained artistes, they treat the audience to a timeless comedy of the human character. Thus, a show of infinite variety is brought together. Clothed in a dazzling display of costumes designed by that mistress of disguise, Mrs. Higgins, it is a blaze of color and music. But, my friends, all good things must come to an end. The Grand Imperial Cirque de Paris must move on, in fact, I fear it has already come and gone. Nothing will be left except an empty field, a scattering of sawdust and old papers and, perhaps, a faint tune lingering in the wind. TimParritt'81

from abroad samir ghattas alumni scholar St. Andrew's is expanding in many ways, this change being evident in the recent addition of more foreign students to the community. Sponsored by the Alumni Memorial Scholarship fund, Samir Ghattas, a native of Egypt, began study at SAS this past fall as a VI Former. In January, Clare Baker and Tim Parritt, also VI Formers, came to St. Andrew's via the English Speaking Union. This is the first year SAS has participated in this program. Sally Jackson, another young Briton, arrived in January through special arrangements and has assumed a different role than student—her primary function being that of a faculty assistant. Not only do they add a refreshing perspective to the community, but they also take full advantage of the School's activities and opportunities. In the comments that follow, each shall share his or her personal reflections, opinions, goals and reasons for studying abroad. Karin Lindfors '81 Student Editor, Bulletin

looking for vacation homes Each year the SAS Alumni Memorial Scholar, who comes to us from Europe, spends several months at School and several weeks during vacations at the homes of classmates. In addition, we have tried to identify SAS families who would be interested in taking a young scholar into their homes for a few weeks prior to the opening of School in September and, possibly, during a long vacation. These Home-Stay Families have enjoyed the youngsters they have housed. SAS is looking for families from the alumni body and friends who would like to assist us in the *'exchange" by providing a second home. Please contact John M. Niles, Director of Admissions, by phone or letter if you would like to become a host family.

My background factors and turning points were largely determined by my birth in Alexandria, Egypt, and my staying in Germany for the last ten years. Because I have a great interest in humanities and languages and because as Goethe said, "Every language is a different philosophy of life," I have occupied myself with the studying of several languages. My decision to come to the United States was determined by my goal to develop a greater sensitivity to a wide variety of people and points of view, to obtain a better knowledge of human nature, to learn and broaden my horizons as much as possible by getting acquainted with what happens in other countries. I love St. Andrew's because of its motto, "faith and learning;" its wealth of intellectual, social and recreational activities; its intellectual and social community; and its diversity of students. The independent study opportunity offers a superb field for the pursuit of a student's various ambitions and the fullest development of his powers. I love St. Andrew's because I think that students learn at least as much from people as they do from books and that the contact between students and between students and faculty is a very important educational process which is especially emphasized here. I hope to study medicine in order to help the poor of the Third World because the value I consider most precious is to help other people and to regard life not just as an act of talking, but of giving. Last but not least, I want to thank the faculty and students for their great efforts and help. Samir Ghattas

clare baker english speaking union scholar On numerous occasions I have been faced with such questions as: What exactly are you doing at St. Andrew's for two terms? What is the E.S.U.? Where do you live? Is that near London? Do you do or have this in England? It is only natural for a certain amount of curiosity and interest to be aroused when not only one but three "strange" people from England take St. Andrew's by storm. Indeed, this curiosity works both ways, for my stay in America, and at St. Andrew's especially, is proving to be a most enlightening experience. As to how I ended up at St. Andrew's, it was all due to this mysterious organization, the E.S.U. The English Speaking Union is fundamentally concerned with strengthening and furthering links between the nations of the English Speaking World, particularly between the United States and the United Kingdom, and one of the many ways it does this is via a student exchange program. At present, this scheme operates solely between private secondary schools, but there are plans to extend it to the public educational system. The two or three term scholarships are designed for students who have already graduated from their own high schools, and provide them with a unique experience across the other side of the Atlantic before going on to university or college. Apart from the obvious benefits which you can draw from a foreign school and its system of education, the E.S.U. scholarship provides you with a stimulating insight into the "American Way of life." You are no mere casual visitor to America, rather you are living and working amongst Americans and absorbing their culture, so similar yet so different from your own. Through travelling and meeting new people, your general outlook on life is necessarily broadened and, above all, you are left with many happy and exciting memories. I have been talking rather vaguely about the E.S.U. scholarships, but perhaps I should say something about me and my personal experiences. I am going to Cambridge University this October to read


law and since I left school last November, the E.S.U. scholarship provided me with a perfect way in which to spend the intervening months. In many ways St. Andrew's is not so different from my school in England—Benenden, Kent. Both are rural and relatively small establishments with a strong emphasis on academics. (I should point out that the only male members of my school were on the faculty!) I have found St. Andrew's to be a warm and friendly community and was particularly struck by the generally closer relations which exist here between faculty and students. I have tried to make the most of the many activities which St. Andrew's offers students, such as music and athletics—I somehow got myself a part as a "dancing chorus girl" in the winter musical, Carnival, which was enormous fun. The American approach to education is undoubtedly different from the English one. Specialization begins much earlier on in England owing to the rigid system of Ordinary and Advanced Level examinations. Thus, since the age of fifteen years old, I have studied nothing on the mathematical or scientific side at all, and my last two years of school were entirely devoted to my three A level subjects. O's and A's mean that the pressure of work is much greater in England, but perhaps the American system leaves you with a broader, more all-round education. I could talk all day about my many impressions of America, but suffice it to say that I am having an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Clare Baker

Sitting drinking innumerable cups of tea in our rooms overlooking the 16th century architecture and quadrangle of the King's School, Canterbury, we dreamed of the outside world, its freedom, excitement and its seemingly endless possibilities. Now our year has scattered and to our student shame, the first hints of nostalgia have begun to settle. When I came to St. Andrew's through an E.S.U. exchange program, I was at first daunted by the sight of an innocuous yellow folder—a book of rules. I felt I had perhaps exchanged one world of restrictions for another. Yet St. Andrew's has enabled me to see the value and freedom within the boarding school. By coming from a foreign school I was able to compare; and the process of comparison seems to highlight the mutual values while at the same time preventing the loss of a wider perspective where the insularity and routine of a boarding school makes you dream of the "outside world." At St. Andrew's I have been able to choose a range of courses based on interest rather than the limitations of the structured English exam system. The courses here are broader and there is less lecturing and more discussion. This has meant that I have reached the conclusion that education does not end with the passing of the last exam after all. I have now been given the opportunity to follow up on my interests and also have the time, encouragement and tuition necessary to sustain them. The more relaxed and informal relationship between students and faculty is also a welcome experience. Coming to St. Andrew's has also shown me part of the American way of life ranging from teaching and attitudes to food and T. V. I remember the astonishment I felt when the basketball team came bounding into the gym accompanied by crashing disco music to psyche them up— not the sort of thing done before a game of cricket! Hopefully at the end of the year, I can go continued on page 5

On arriving at St. Andrew's I was stunned to find myself there at all, for the situation came about due to a series of lucky chances. When I had finished my school work in England, I had over nine months "free" time, during which any scholastic work would, hopefully, be put to the back of my mind. The U.S. is the usual destination for such time periods, and so, realizing that I could probably communicate with the natives fairly well, my heart was set upon AMERICA. But why St. Andrew's? I would like to say that its fame has spread over the Atlantic, but the reason is a little more involved. Through a teacher at my old school in Yorkshire, England, a contact with Rev. Mein was made, a contact which was to prove a successful one from my point of view. Because of the somewhat unorthodox way in which I arrived here, my position is a little more anomalous than that of the E.S.U. scholars. Officially, I am an assistant in the History Department, although my knowledge is not sufficient for me to assist a great deal. Mostly, my role is that of an observer, but for two weeks during Miniterm, I was given the chance to help Mr. Stegeman to teach a short Economics course which attempted to explain the rudiments of that subject in ten lessons. I enjoyed the work very much, and my only hope is that the students did too! The faculty and just about everybody at St. Andrew's has been hospitable, so much so that they have done all they could to secure some political experience for me—as a result, I visited Washington for two weeks, during which time I was attached to the office of Senator Roth—somewhat loosely! Perhaps I should reflect a little upon St. Andrew's itself. The School is really rather a home from home, in that it is obviously modelled upon a "typical" English public school, complete with cloister et al. The regime here is certainly less strict than I am used to, including the fact that salad can be continued on page 5

and the most improved player was Brett Von Urff '83 (Dover, Del.). Finally, the women's basketball team, though improved over last year, struggled through a disappointing season while beset with injuries to key players and the lack of a consistent offensive threat. Coach Len DwinelPs squad played hard. Gillian Davies '81 (Philadelphia) and Lou Hamilton '81 (Darien, Conn.) led the team as co-captains. Gail Wright '84 (Kennedyville, Md.) earned the Hustle Award and Jean Woodward '83 (Wilmington, Del.) was awarded a trophy for the greatest contribution to women's basketball.

The winter sports season ended with an overall 35-30 record against neighboring independent and public schools. Leading the way were the women's squash team, the wrestling team and the men's basketball team; these three varsity sports won 31 contests while losing only nine. Coach Will Speers' squash team produced a 6-2 record and three state champions. Marylou Francisco '82 (Seaford, Del.) won the 18 and under title; Cindy Yeatman '82 (Kennett Square, Penn.) won the 16 and under championship and finished runner-up in the 18 and under competition; Stephanie Jones '84 (Salisbury, Md.) took the title for 14 and under. During the season the team was captained by Chandler Luke '81 (Yorklyn, Del.), the recipient of an award for the greatest contribution to squash during her three-year career at St. Andrew's. Meg Wenzell '81 (New York City) was given the coach's award for her sportsmanship and enthusiastic play. Jake Zeigler's wrestling team finished with an 11-2 record and won the conference title for the second year in a row. The team was led by tri-captain, 155-pounder Steve Hart '81 (Townsend, Del.), who also won the Mamo Trophy as the outstanding wrestler in the program. The other two captains were Todd Golde '81 (Linclon, Del.) and Brad Cobb '81 (Moorestown, N. J.). All three wrestlers qualified for the state tournament and Todd finished 4th in the 126-pound weight class. The season was highlighted by a first-place finish over seven other teams in the School's invitational tournament in early February and a highly-charged dual-match win over Friends School to capture the Independent

School Conference title. John Pegg '83 (McGuire AFB, New Jersey), received the most improved wrestler award. The men's varsity basketball team, coached by Charley Zimmer, rolled to a 145 record, which was highlighted by a trip to the Kingswood Invitational Tournament in West Hartford, Conn., an undefeated season at home, a second straight conference championship and three allconference players. Captain Fred Townsend '81 (Dover, Del.) helped spark the team to an 8-2 conference record and played well as both guard and forward to round out an excellent three-year career. Guard Keith Cavanaugh '82 (Chevy Chase, Md.) led the team in scoring and was a constant threat from 20-25 feet; Keith also won the team's most valuable player award as well as landing a place on the allconference first team and being voted the most valuable player in the Independent Conference by opposing coaches. Jeff Lilley '82 (Chevy Chase, Md.) and R. J. Beach '82 (Wilmington, Del.) won spots on the all-conference second team. R. J. won the most valuable underclassman award. Senior Eric Ellisen (Dover, Del.) shared the Hustle and Heart award with Jeff Lilley. The 1980-81 team was characterized by quickness and tough defense. The improving men's squash team was led by Andrew Liefeld '83 (St. Andrew's), who won state championships in both the 16 and under and 18 and under divisions. While Tad Roach's team won only two matches, the youth movement is under way and improvement is expected in the season ahead. The most valuable player award was shared by Ned Groves '82 (Lancaster, Penn.) and Jay Smith '82 (New York City),

gifts to SAS Richard C. "Kippy" duPont, Jr. '55. Kippy can really appreciate the need for good equipment in this sport as he was a varsity oarsman for three years and Captain of Crew in his VI Form year. The girls in the crew program are looking forward to its christening and launching. Kippy has endeared himself to all of the SAS"Crewbies." Over the past year and a half, St. Andrew's has been fortunate to have received many gifts-in-kind and funds for designated gifts. Besides the Howard Schmolze men's eight donated by J. D. Quillin III '56 and the sports van and station wagon, gifts from SAS parents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Rentschler, St. Andrew's has received a women's eight, a ShopSmith, maps and a case, a 16 mm Bolex movie camera and for the Music Department, a B flat cornet, a deacon vibraphone and a Bb clarinet. The Irene duPont Library has received many new volumes donated by parents, friends, alumni and faculty. The School is indeed grateful to receive these gifts.

classroom maps The generous gift of Mrs. George Culleney, family and friends in memory of George Culleney, the first graduate of St. Andrew's, Class of 1934 and Chaplain of SAS for three years, has enabled the School to purchase a handsome collection of current maps of every part of the world housed in an equally handsome case. These maps were badly needed by the History Department and will be well used for instructional purposes and demonstrational aids for visiting speakers.

woodworking shopsmith Mr. and Mrs. Norris S. Haselton, parents of Norris Haselton, Jr. '54, have added greatly to our woodworking shop with their gift of a ShopSmith. An all-in-one work table, the ShopSmith can be transformed with a few adjustments into a power saw, drill, lathe, jointer and sanders. With this piece of equipment, more work area is available to the students to pursue their woodworking projects.

schoenbrod fiberglass 8oared shell Women's crew has just received a new 8oared Schoenbrod fiberglass shell from above: Charles Chesnut '81 -working at the new Shop/Smith in the woodwork ing shop.

musical instruments The Music Department has received several additions to its musical instrument collection. On display in the Band Room is the Founder's B flat cornet, made by F. Beason and donated by his son, A. Felix duPont, Jr. The Founder was very interested in music and played his cornet in the early 1900's in the University of Pennsylvania and the Wilmington Police bands. Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Roberts, friends of the School, have given a Deacon Vibraphone to the Music Department. The vibraphone is a percussion instrument resembling a xylophone with motor-driven resonators for sustaining the tone and producing a vibrato. This instrument will add a new dimension to the sound of the Stage Band. Other donations include a Bb clarinet, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence B. Cohn and their son, Tim '84. Over the years, the Music Department has been fortunate to receive other instruments for the use of the students. Mr. and Mrs. Richard B. Persinger, parents of SAS alumnus, Philip '70, donated a bass trombone; Mr. and Mrs. James A. Berrigan, parents of Thomas '74 and Michael '79, a trumpet; and Mr. and Mrs. Mark O. Pilchard, a saxophone. Each donation enables the School to offer yet another student the opportunity to explore his or her musical talents.

library books The Irene duPont Library has been the recipient of many books to add to its collection. John Hukill '50 has donated 31 volumes from the Benjamin Noxon Library. Most of these volumes were published in the 1700's. Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. Ware, parents of Arraminta '82, have given the Library a collection of family memorabilia dating back to the middle 1800's, including two letters written and signed by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932 when he was Governor of New York. Parents, friends, alumni and faculty have also donated books to the Library.

20

They are: James R. Soles, father of Nancy '83; Louis C. Mandes, Jr., friend of the School; Alumni Walter L. Liefeld '54, J. D. Quillin '56, Michael Quillin '57, Terry Wild '65, Paul Keyser '75, Tim Bishop '79, Kevin Kuehlwein '79, Robbie Colburn '80; and present and former faculty, Simon and Nan Mein, Betsy Baetjer, Norman Thornton, Alexander Ogilby, Donald A. Dunn and Laurie Moss. The gifts of these books enable the School to add to its collection while freeing up funds to purchase additional books that are also needed.

16 mm movie camera Mrs. William C. Bertsche, mother of Carol Stegeman, SAS Director of Public Information, has given the School a 16 mm Bolex movie camera. This quality camera can be used creatively by the students to produce feature movies. The various lenses offer a versatility that the School's super 8 camera is unable to achieve. With the single frame capability, the students will also be able to produce animated films.

costumes The Theatre Program has received various items of clothing donated for use as costumes in the School's theatre productions. Mrs. F. Lee Richards, mother of Ashton '78 and Martha '80, and Mrs. William C. Bertsche, mother of Carol Stegeman, have given old clothing that has been used often in the various plays. Slowly but surely, the costume collection is growing. All of the gifts that St. Andrew's has received offer to the students new and varied experiences to complement their academic, athletic and artistic endeavors. Such gifts are a marvelous asset to the overall program and the School is very grateful for the generosity of the donors.

we're also looking for — Polaroid camera for the alumni office 35 mm. cameras for students in the photography class Ice machine for the athletic training room Canoes for student river trips and pond use Tents for the Outing Club Used clothing for theatre costumes Musical instruments for student use FM signal generator (88-108 megahertz) for the student-run WARP-FM radio station Amplifier for auditorium use Sewing machines for instruction and costume-making Potters' wheels

We finally caught and passed last year's totals at this same date for annual giving from alumni, parents and friends, but we are still short of our goal of $65,000. The telethons in Philadelphia on April 9th and in New York on April 16th generated $9,255 to go with the $40,087 received through mail solicitation and gives us a present total of $49,342. But we need your help to get over the top! There are still over 900 alumni out there who haven't contributed to this year's annual giving program. Those of you who are committed to the sacrifice that an annual giving contribution requires, this is your last chance to help us. An even bigger goal than the $65,000 is 50% participation. Please do your share and be counted among that coveted 50%! —Charley Zimmer Director of Development

Dear St. Andreans, The participants in the April 16th Annual Giving Telethon were most appreciative of the positive response from the alumni and parents we reached around the country. A second round of applause is due for the pledges that came one day after the IRS depleted everyone's bank accounts! As host for the New York City Telethon, I want to extend thanks to the participants. The four-hour event, held after business hours, made a long day for everyone, particularly for those who returned to homes in suburban New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. To those whom we were unable to reach, we hope to hear from you by June 30, the close of this year's Annual Giving. Herndon Werth '52

Andreans: Dr. Pell's book taking the School to 1958 should never be imitated and I have no intention of making the attempt. In that book Waldy touched the heart and soul of St. A ndrew 's. But I do have in mind a project that requires help from many of you—-if you wish to join in the spirit of the thing. Boarding school life can be grimt with tough sledding and perhaps a residual bad taste for a few. It also can be great fun. I want to weave a spirited narrative in book form of St. Andrew's: of escapades, camaraderie, pranks (evil and otherwise), hilarity, absurdity, comic tragedy, and ultimately the happy triumph of this isolated educational island. Will you share some of your memories, exaggerated, distorted, amplified, or dim, with me? Wiser and more erudite authors will explain and defend the worth of what we do here. I have had a joyful time at St. Andrew's for the most part, as have many of you; if not always, then in a few bright moments. Think back, smile a bit, and jot something down. If closet skeletons need protection, then anonymous they 'II remain; you need not even sign your name. I'll trust your story is reasonably factual. Skulduggery, risque'accounts, illegal pursuits (by whatever laws were extant at the time)—anything goes. You need provide only the briefest essence if you wish. In re-writing those stories chosen to be included, my intent is to give fictitious names to all persons, so license may be exercised in matters of chronology and association. Extensive masking will be employed to protect both the innocent and the sensitive. Whether you'll recognize yourselves or others will depend upon your familiarity with, and closeness to, a specific event. While this is not a profound idea, neither is it superficial. Humor and good feeling are part of our warp and woof: without them we come apart very quickly. Let us remember the happy days, the times when the lid had to lift, even the seriocomic nature of some traumatic events. If the book succeeds in any fashion, it will be as a paean to the eternally ingenious, resourceful, passionate, experimental, adventuresome, and unpredictably unique teenager trapped for a few years in—of all places—a boarding school! Will you join me?

William H. Amos ^1 special post scriptum to faculty, past and present: you won't escape, so you had best get in your licks too, and not just those aimed at students. Faculty history at times can be far richer (and more fascinating) than what students dream up.

Francis J. Townsend, Jr. Route 1 Ocean City, MD 21842

Excerpts from an article which appeared in Family Practice News, August, 1980 describe Dr. Townsend 's practice in Ocean City, Maryland. While other family physicians get a breather as their patients vacation, or take the last few weeks of summer to vacation themselves, Dr. Francis J. Townsend, Jr.'s '34 practice is booming in Ocean City, Maryland. In this resort town where the 5,000 winter population grows to more than 200,000 in summer, Dr. Townsend juggles regular continuous care to year-round local patients with care to the tourists that flock through his doors from May until September, often with medical problems unique to beach and vacation areas. Second-degree sunburns and jelly fish stings abound, not surprisingly, as do outof-shape tourists who rent bicycles only to plummet off the end of the boardwalk and fracture limbs. There are inebriated visitors, who die as a result of falling off hotel balconies, an accident that recurs at least

Summer is no vacation for Ocean City physician, Francis J. Townsend, Jr. '34 once and sometimes twice a summer, and vacationers who don't wait for the amusement rides to stop and injure themselves getting on or off. There are bites, ranging from shark bites incurred not by swimming tourists but by fishermen out at sea removing hooks from their still-fighting catch, to the more unusual rattlesnake and lion bite patients who work at boardwalk sideshows or circuses passing through the area. Dr. Townsend noted that he gained experience in treating fish bites during his Navy duty in the Gulf of Panama, where he treated PT and PC boat servicemen who were attacked, sometimes fatally, by sharks in the water. During an interview at his office and in between calls, Dr. Townsend discussed his life and practice. He is a genuine local. "I'm one of only two people I know of who were born on the boardwalk," in a home birth.

Mann, Jr., a general surgeon. To help care for the transient, walk-in population, Drs. Townsend and Mann enlist the help of younger physicians from nearby Baltimore hospitals who can enjoy the beach atmosphere part of the time and the work the rest. When he first entered practice Dr. Townsend frequently made house calls. Treating injured animals, pets of his patients, was common, and he said he thought nothing of X-raying and casting the broken leg of a dog. The growth in the number of facilities available has enabled Drs. Townsend and Mann to change their office schedule from seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to seven days a week, 13 hours a day!

Levin son off and running for 1982 race By JACK CROFT Staff Writer MIDDLETOWN—David N. Levinson has reached the halfway point in his marathon run for a United States Senate seat, before most Delawareans know he is even in the race. The strapping, 45-year-old developer has been plotting his course for the 1982 Democratic Senate nomination for more than a year, lining up campaign staff and financial support. Brimming with self-confidence, the Middletown native vows he will win not only the nomination, but the seat now held by Republican U.S. Sen. William V. Roth Jr. "I was raised in a family where service to the community was second only to service to God," Levinson said last week, relaxing in the second-floor study of his lavish Middletown home. "That's the truth. It's a fundamental value. Frankly, I've been very successful. The country's been good to me. And I plan to spend the rest of my life serving the country. "It's like a calling. Like a religious calling. I've known for 20 years what I was going to do. So when someone tells me they've had a religious calling toj be a minister or a rabbi, I understand what they mean," he added. Success is all Levinson has known. The son of former six-term Middletown Mayor Louis Levinson, he graduated first in his class from St. Andrew's preparatory school near Middletown in 1953. He was Phi Beta Kappa at Harvard University, and got his law degree from Harvard Law School. After five years learning the construction trade with the Lusk Corporation, Levinson formed the Levinson Corporation in 1965. Staff Photos by Mel Evans

DAVID N. LEVINSON...the country's been good to me.

Article printed with permission from Jack Croft, Staff Writer of the Delaware State News in Dover. Sunday, January 11, 1981

The residential building company, based in St. Louis, has made Levinson a millionaire constructing houses, condominiums and apartments. **Two years ago, he returned to his native Delaware and began laying the groundwork for his Senate campaign. And Levinson unabashedly predicts he will bring to the First State its first million-dollar campaign. "Democratic candidates have been struggling to get to six figures," Levinson said. "We'll struggle, too. But to get from six figures to seven." 'Levinson is prepared for the charge of "carpetbagger" likely to be raised against him when he formally enters the race later this year. "Apart from legalities, I've never called anyplace else home but Delaware," he said. "My family and I have been a part of this state for 80 or 90 years. I was born here, raised here, educated here. "It's in the best American tradition for a young man to grow up, leave the farm and strike out to make his fortune, returning later in life to stand for public off ice, "he added. His father has been a practicing veterinarian in Middletown for 62 years, and was mayor of the lower New Castle County town from 1931 to 1943. "He's having a marvellous time with this campaign," Levinson said of his father. "It gives him a chance to get back into politics. That's one of the wonderful things about it."

For more than a year, Levinson has been quietly making the political rounds, attending party dinners, meetings and even accompanying the Delaware delegation to the Democratic National Convention in New York last summer. He has also been contacting national fund-raising and political consulting firms, and already has a full-time staffer on board to coordinate fund raising. He took his first public step last week, when he filed a formal statement of candidacy with the Federal Elections Commission in Washington and the Delaware Secretary of State's office. That allows Levinson to begin collecting money for his anticipated bid. "We are running, have been running and will continue to run a professional campaign. We expect our financial support to be sufficient," he said. Before plunging himself completely into the campaign, Levinson is taking time off this week for a belated honeymoon in St. Croix, the Virgin Islands. He met his 31-year-old wife, Marilyn, in St. Louis, where she was a lawyer with the county counsellor's office. While working on a case involving a local developer, she called Levinson as an expert witness to testify about the housing business. "I met her from the witness stand," he recalled. "I thought she was a pretty good lawyer. She thought I was a pretty good witness." They started dating several months

26

later, and were married in August. A member of the National Commission of the Anti-Defamation League oi B'Nai B'rith, Levinson has been active in Mideast affairs, receiving briefings from the U.S. Department of State and making trips to Israel and Egypt. Last January, he was an overnight guest at the home of Israeli Prime Minister Menachim Begin, and also discussed the Camp David Peace Accords with Egyptian foreign ministry officials in Cairo. "I think I have some of the best foreign policy advisors in the country," Levinson boasted. He also has ties to national Democratic Party leaders, plans to use them in his campaign. One is a former Harvard classmate: U.S. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts. Among the pictures on the wall of his study are one of Levinson shaking hands with Kennedy, and another of Levinson with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Levinson is fond of telling how Kennedy was responsible for his getting his first tuxedo. Each year at Harvard, the two best public speakers meet in a formal, public debate on a selected topic. In 1958, the speakers were Kennedy and Levinson. "My father sent me $60. I had to debate Ted Kennedy, and he didn't want me to debate a Kennedy in a rented tuxedo," Levinson recalled.

The school was Whyte's alma mater, St. Andrews School near Middletown.

Of the 16 students who took part in the contest, 15 agreed with Wouk. Only one dissented: 16-year-old David N.Levinson. Although Whyte does not identify the school, or Levinson, in the book, he wrote: "The student who dissented was not rebellious; like the others, he pointed out the necessity for codes and rules and regulations if society is to have any collective purpose.

Opening a letter from St. Andrew's usually means a reminder that once again I have failed to contribute to the scholarship fund. Today I only wish that this had been so. I sit now, reading the comment that "Grapes" wrote in my 1962 yearbook. It is hard to believe that a dear friend is gone. It has been thirteen years since I have seen Craig (McCaghren '62) and nineteen since we left St. Andrew's, but lean still use the word dear because of St. A ndrew 's. When you spend the eternity that is each school term; living, studying, laughing and playing together; you form bonds that mere time cannot begin to weaken. lean recall events and words that happened so long ago even though I cannot remember what happened yesterday. This feeling for a person happens a few times during our existence. That it happened so many times while I was there is a measure of what St. Andrew's meant to me. I guess that the point of this rambling is, in my own way, to say goodbye to Craig and to remind you, who are St. Andrew's today, of what is happening. The friends that you make now will always hold a special place in your life because of your sharing everything that is St. Andrew's. Oliver Pepper '62
