Christopher Reagan HorganHeadmaster, Dublin School

1994 – 2007

Learning to say goodbye

One never knows how many lives one has touched until it is time to say goodbye. In St. Patrick’s church in Jaffrey, NH, on April

14, 2007, that number took on a human face as youth and age, students and graduates, past and present faculty, parents, friends and family gathered to honor Chris Horgan. Spilling over church pews, aisles, and the choir loft - every inch of the church - were those “touched ones” standing shoulder to shoulder with tears in their eyes, a full circle, a human ring of emotion and love. They had come from as far away as California, Beijing, and Dubai – these people whose lives Chris Horgan touched, and they had many anecdotes and memories to share about this man.

In his remarks, Dean of Students, John Marquis, recalled that “Chris had a great humility about him, as well as a great understanding of human nature. He could see the promise in everyone he met.” Chris Horgan, people will tell you, believed in second chances. On April 10th and many days since, promises have been affi rmed and chances have been taken. Actually, in many ways, this gift of seeing the promise in people and taking chances is the embodiment of the Dublin way. It is, at its core, what Dublin is all about.

Chris Horgan had a unique ‘knack’ for hearing and appreciating where each of these people were in his/her life. He had a genuine respect for each person’s current place or situation, and, if he could, offered ideas and solutions to help. Chris was many things to many people. He was a listener, but also an excellent storyteller. He loved the small ironies of everyday life. He loved a good ball game, a good Chinese dinner, and a good episode of “Seinfeld.” His mischievous sense of humor could turn the tense moment into a far less serious one. Chris Horgan did not take himself too seriously, and he did not let you take yourself too seriously either.

He had a passion for tennis and teaching others how to play. He could (and would) quote any fact about any match ever played by any player. In his psychology course, Chris delighted in helping his students understand the roots of their behavior. On campus, his offi ce as both Dean of Students and Headmaster was a place of sanctuary to share a story, voice a concern, or simply sit and take in the view.

Chris was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was an insatiable reader, a Klingenstein Fellow, a psychologist, a coach, and a teacher. Chris was a Dean of Students, a CEO, and our Headmaster. He was a general of Mountain Day, rallying his troops up the slopes of the Grand Monadnock. He took the reins of this little school on this humble hill called Dublin, and he effected a steady ride into a more secure future. Chris Horgan “got” Dublin. And better still, he “kept” Dublin in his heart and mind while guiding it carefully with common sense and love. His job is done now, and the rest of us are left to do our job – learning to say goodbye.

32 The Secret Sauce at Dublin School

The Secret Sauce at Dublin School

What is it that makes Dublin so special? It is a place that seems to grab hold of all who attend and keeps us coming back. It is

like asking, “What makes In and Out burgers so very tasty? If you have been to California you know what I mean, and if you have not, come to California and try one. Like my beloved “Double, Double” burger, there is a secret sauce in the makeup of Dublin School. A secret sauce that is virtually impossible to put into words, but I am going to do my best at explaining what this magic is…

Dublin is the family we never knew we

needed. A family with members that annoy us and some

that we wish we were not related to, but on the whole, we

love and respect. We would defend our brothers and sisters

in a second against any who dare hurt them. Many who

enter Dublin feel overwhelmed by their “new life:” classes,

study halls, sports teams, outings, mountain day, snow, leaves,

work gang, etc. I know that there were times when I could

not wait to be done with Dublin, especially in February

with the 50th snow storm and my having to shovel snow

AGAIN. But an amazing thing happens in May of each year;

we all have the realization that we will be leaving for the

summer and we feel sad. We think of how much we will

miss our new family. For good or for bad, Dublin is a family

and you will always be a part of it.

Dublin is a place where we get to discover

who we are as individuals. Be it in the classroom or on

the playing fi eld, it is a place where we grow in so many

ways that we often do not realize them all until we have

left. One of the greatest gifts Dublin gave me was the ability

to interact even with people I did not like. At a minimum

I would have to see someone four times a day, breakfast,

lunch, dinner and morning meeting. I most likely saw them

more than that, and I could not avoid interacting with them,

so I had to learn the skills to deal with the confl ict and

move on. This has served me well for the last 20 years since

I left Dublin.

Dublin is a place where you learn constantly.

Whether it be inside the classroom, with a teacher during

study hall, during work gang, or behind the set of a

performance, we are learning. Unlike most other schools,

every graduate leaves knowing how to use basic tools, like

a hammer or a rake. We learn what hard work is and what

mind numbing cold is. Everyone can say they have climbed

a mountain at least once and for most more than that.

Dublin is a place where there is always a hug

waiting for you. The hug comes whether you come back

on campus, or see other alumnus/a on the street. It is a place

where you always have a connection. I come back and talk to

students and feel as though I am a student again. Why? Because

we have all experienced the same thing, and at our core we all

believe in ourselves and the school.

The Secret Sauce. I am not sure what is in the

secret sauce. I cannot tell you what it tastes like. I can only

invite you to try it and share it with others.

Next Alumni Reunion Weekend May 9-11, 2008

A full weekend of events, all on campus, has been planned for our Alumni Weekend this year. The weekend will again coincide with the Dublin School Mayfair, beginning on Friday night with a coffee house. The “Urban Hustle,” a powerful program of dance directed by Jan Haman and Erika Rogers, and choreographed by our own Dublin dancers, will set the tone on Saturday morning for an energetic day of activities, including the traditional Maypole Dance by the Class of 2008. Our annual reception/banquet will be Saturday night and will take place here on the Dublin campus. This is going to be an exceptional Alumni Weekend, full of opportunity to see Dublin School at its best.

and to dance, to sing and to celebrate

the graduating seniors.”

The Dubliners then dedicated Sarah

McLachlan’s “I Will Remember You”

to Chris Horgan.

Headmaster Richard K. Fox then greeted

the audience, eloquently weaving a theme of

gratitude through his words. He encouraged

the seniors to stand and thank their parents,

grandparents, families and friends for their love

and support in getting them to this day. He

ended by thanking the Class of 2007 for their

thoughtful acts of kindness to fellow students,

the faculty and staff and urged them to “take

the time to tell those whom you love that you

do love them, and tell them often. Above all else

be kind, smile, and do your best to help others

in whatever way you can. These simple acts are

infectious, and you will never know how far

your kindness carries on to others.”

Seniors, Glondy Peña, Do Hyung Kim and

Melissa Zahn each delivered a brief address

The excitement of the 71st Graduation of Dublin School seniors was only heightened by a sparkling spring day as the Class of 2007

made their way through faculty, friends and family to take their places at the far end of the ceremonial tent.

Academic Dean, Sarah Doenmez, began the speeches

by welcoming everyone to this “celebration of the

growth of these young men and women.” After a

moment of silence in memory of Chris Horgan, she

remarked that he “would be so proud” of all the seniors

present and encouraged them to “emulate his qualities

and honor his spirit as you remember Dublin and all it

has brought into your lives.” She brought her speech to

an uplifting close by saying that “now it is time to laugh

summing up their Dublin experience. Brimming

with memories of freshman fears and senior

shenanigans, Do Hyung spoke for many when

he said “Every hour and minute that I spent at

Dublin changed me.”

Organizational psychologist and consultant David

Baum, PhD was invited to give the Graduation

Address. He spoke of dreams being our most

precious commodity and the importance of

making sure they are lived, for that is what truly

makes us happy.

French teacher, Lanessa Davis, was asked to give

the Senior Goodbye, a bittersweet request as she,

as well as the seniors, would be leaving the school.

Her words likely echoed the seniors’ thoughts as

she spoke of her excitement and anticipation of

moving on to a new location and new challenges

but at the same time the sadness of leaving the

beautiful and memorable campus of Dublin School.

As she put it so simply, “We are leaving not only

a picturesque place, but a place where we are loved.

Love is a big word and makes people uncomfortable,

but I’m going to use it! How else do you defi ne

the profound dedication of a Jan Haman, a Carl

Von Mertens, a Sarah Doenmez, an Erika Rogers,

a Michelle Knapp, an Eric Nemitz, a Jonathan Weis,

an Earl Schofi eld, an Andy Hungerford, and a Larry

Ames? Humans in modern societies have forgotten

how to create bonds and meaning with other humans,

how to love in a communal way. Faculty and staff

at Dublin School go far beyond the call of duty to

provide students, and each other, with the chance to

learn and grow into men and women who seek truth

and act with courage. This is a manifestation of love,

and it is Dublin School’s mission. This is why it is so

diffi cult to say good-bye.”

A Note From the President of the Board of Trustees

How’s Dublin School doing? Very well, and thank you for asking. It didn’t seem as if the school would survive the tragic loss of Headmaster

Chris Horgan this spring, but students, faculty, staff, parents, trustees and so many friends of Dublin School gathered from all over the world to attend his memorial service and to spend time at the School to share care, concerns and love for Chris’ family.

President of the Board of Trustees, Nicholas

Thacher, and the Executive Committee of the Trustees,

tapped Richard Fox to be Acting Headmaster through

June 30th and then as Interim Headmaster for the school

year ending June 2008. Since that day, Richard has earned

the respect and co-operation of all of us, and we will never

be able to thank him enough for his service.

Graduation for the Class of 2007 was a

wonderful event and a testament to the strength of the

Dublin community. The day was bright and sunny, helping

to transform the sadness of missing Chris to the joy of

each senior’s accomplishment. The pageantry, music,

addresses and recognition of the students as they walked

through an applauding column of adult members of the

School Community brought cheers and tears to many.

Several important Dublin School events have

been well attended and highly acclaimed since then. Some

150 parents, alumni, trustees, citizens of Dublin and other

friends joined a joyous “lawn party” this past August, as

we prepared to begin a new school year. A stunning fall

“Mountain Day” was squeezed between six consecutive

days of torrential downpours but everyone joined in the

trek to the top of Mt. Monadnock and was rewarded

with a spectacular view. At an Open House hosted by

the Admission Department for prospective students and

families in early October, a parent asked a lad on our panel,

“Of what are you most proud? And, what one thing might

you change?” He responded: “First, I am proud of being one

of this body of students and adults who provide me with such

friendship and support, and for my privilege of supporting

them whenever I’m needed. Second, I wish we were a bit

larger in number – to share just that much more.”

May I add my thanks to Richard Fox for his ideas

and contributions to the School since the day he arrived at

Dublin in August 2006 and my thanks to Nicholas Thacher,

whose leadership of this Board has been constantly forward-

looking. It is my sincere hope that you will keep in touch

with us, ask questions, offer suggestions, and YES, make the

most signifi cant gift you can this year. We will always rely on

you, especially now.

Think “Truth and Courage.”

David E. Howe, President of the Board of Trustees



A Note Fromthe Headmaster

Dear Alumni, Alumnae, Parents, Grandparents, and Friends,

During the past fourteen months I have had

the great honor to witness how the students, faculty and

staff, trustees, parents and other members of the Dublin

School community work together. It is a great tribute to

everyone that out of the profound loss and shock of Chris

Horgan’s untimely death came a renewed sense of our

special mission to this and future generations of students.

As you read this issue of The Dubliner and

learn of just a few of the exciting events taking place at

the School, you will also see how generous our alumni,

alumnae, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff and friends

were last year. The dollar total of gifts received and the

number of contributors are each new records for a year

in which there was no capital campaign underway. It is

worthy of a special note that 98% of the faculty and

staff gave to the Annual Fund last year, a rare occurrence

in a school community.

These gifts provide precious resources to the

faculty and staff, who in turn each day provide the very

special experience we have all come to associate with

Dublin School. At the same time these gifts of talent, time

and resources encourage other members of the Dublin

School community to make their own generous gifts,

making our School even stronger.

Therefore, I send my thanks to each of you

who gave gifts of time, expertise and resources last year.

It was a very challenging year indeed. Together we met

that challenge successfully.

With my appreciation and thanks for all that

you do to help Dublin School,

Richard K. Fox, Headmaster

Dublin School Welcomes New Faculty and Staff

Mandy Bradford

School nurse Mandy Bradford grew up just over the border in Massachusetts and when in high school moved to Dublin with her family in 1976. She earned her nursing degree at Quinnapiac University in Hamden, CT, and eventually made her way back to Peterborough, where she now lives with her husband, two children, two cats and three dogs (and occasionally a wild fl ock of roving turkeys!).

Mandy worked part-time at RiverMead Retirement Community, also in Peterborough, for the past eleven and a half years. During that time, she was also able to pursue her passion for writing and has successfully co-authored a book, numerous articles about parenting, and has four novels just waiting to fi nd good homes with publishers.

For 16 years, Mandy worked as a home schooling parent and teacher to small groups of home schooled students. After fi nishing home schooling her daughter, Holly, age 21, and son, Robbie, age 19, she was ready for a new challenge. A full-time position and the opportunity to come to Dublin School presented itself. Mandy enjoys the academic environment on campus and working with the students, which is keeping her very busy.

Cynthia Ewing

The road to Dublin School is often one with many detours along the way. Such is the story of our new French teacher, Cindy Ewing. Born in Washington DC to journalist parents, she spent much of her youth in suburban New York, where the family moved to provide a wider scope of cultural infl uence. She knew she had an ear for French while in middle school, but it wasn’t until her fi rst trip to France in high school that her real interest in the language was sparked.

Although Cindy was a French major at Dartmouth, she

worked for many years in the intensely driven world of corp-orate advertising. However, she was anxious to inspire a love of the French language and culture in children, so she began teaching at The Hackley School in Tarrytown, NY in 1987.

In 1993, she and her husband, Tom, moved to Keene, NH where she took a break from teaching to raise their two children. During that time she enriched her love of music by singing with the Raylynmor Opera and eventually found her way back to teaching once her children were teenagers. We are delighted that she chose to do so here at Dublin School. Bienvenue, Mrs. Ewing!

Scott Gardner

Development Administrative Assistant, Scott Gardner, is from the Malibu Beach area of Southern California. Before moving to NH in 1995, he worked for ten years as a product handler and set decorator for television commercials, an actor, and producer’s assistant for corporate entertainment companies. Within months of arriving in the Monadnock area, he discovered the New England Marionettes in Peterborough and performed with them until the theater burned down in 1999. Since then, Scott has been the offi ce manager for the Sharon Arts Center, manager of the Simon Abbott Gallery in Jaffrey, and traveled the country as a broker for wheelchair carts for injured and disabled pets. Wanting to work closer to his home in Rindge, Scott was overjoyed to fi nd an opening at Dublin School that would allow him to utilize and expand his diverse interests and experience. When not on campus, he loves nothing more than to spend his free time kayaking and enjoying the company of friends and family.

Holly Macy

Holly Macy returns to Dublin School after taking a fi ve-year leave to start a family with her husband, Sean, whom she met through a co-worker here at Dublin. Originally from West



Hartford, CT, Holly graduated from the University of Vermont, and from1995 – 2002, was the French teacher and Chair of the Foreign Language Department here at Dublin School.

Once her daughter, Agnes, and son, Clinton, were in pre-school, Holly felt ready to return to a full-time schedule and was encouraged to switch from teaching to the Director of College Counseling. Holly enjoys the ability to sit and brainstorm with the students on their future, and help them narrow down the many college and university choices available to them. She especially loves the energy of being back on campus, and when she’s not, she can be found enjoying any number of outdoor activities, particularly running, and when the weather is good, encouraging the tomatoes and basil in her garden.

Alan Metcalf

Science teacher, Alan Metcalf, is returning home, sort of. Alan’s summers were spent in Alstead, NH, where his father, Jack, grew up. Southwestern New Hampshire and the Monadnock area have always been like a second home to him, and now he’s able to call the region his full-time home as he joins the Dublin School faculty. Coming from another southwestern region, that of Pennsylvania and his hometown of Pittsburgh, Alan and his wife, Shelley, are excited about the possibilities that both the area, and especially Dublin School, will provide them. Alan, a graduate of Robert Morris University with a degree in Environmental Science, is coming to teaching as a second career. Having spent most of his working career as a personal fi tness trainer and lacrosse coach, he is now joining the ranks of over half his family, that of a teacher. Alan recently spent six months during the winter working at the Mt. Washington Observatory, where he experienced fi rst hand what truly is ‘the worst weather in the world.’ During their free time, Alan and Shelley enjoy hiking all that New England has to offer, as well as traveling around the eastern United States visiting and watching college lacrosse games. They are avid readers, enjoy relaxing at their cabin in Rangeley, Maine, and live and die by the outcome of their beloved Pittsburgh Steelers each Sunday.

Peggy Shaughnessy

Tutor, Peggy Shaughnessy, comes to us from Mountain Shadows, a progressive elementary school right here in Dublin, where she taught for nine years. It was the similar qualities of the schools, the involvement in students lives, and richness of community that attracted Peggy to Dublin School.

Peggy earned her bachelors degree in literature from Boston University and has a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Lesley College, MA. After 12 years of private practice, she turned her talents to teaching.

Peggy lives in Peterborough with her husband and two of her four children. Her older children are now in their early twenties and living on their own. Peggy is also active at Monadnock Worksource, where she helps developmentally disabled people. She enjoys spending time with the people there because being with them reminds her to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.

Jennifer Whitesel

Jennifer Whitesel joined Dublin School as the Business Manager on November 1st. She comes to us from Dexter, Maine and the Maine Central Institute, an independent school where she worked as Business Manager for more than 19 years. Jen is a graduate of Husson College in Bangor, Maine with a B.S. in Business Administration. When she’s not keeping the books in order, she enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, reading, computers and making up new recipes for all types of meals, particularly Thai food. Jennifer and her family have fallen in love with Dublin School and are excited to join the Dublin family.



The Charles Latham, Jr. Distinguished Teacher Award

It is with great pride that we announce the creation of this award to honor an outstanding faculty member each school year with a cash prize of $1,500. Alumni Bill King ’52 and Nathanial “Buddy” Bates ’53, roommates in Sleepy Hollow (now Wing & Hollow), wanted to pay tribute to their favorite teacher, Charles Latham, by honoring an exceptional Dublin School teacher. They chose Mr. Latham for many reasons, but mostly for his encouragement in helping students to realize their potential, and his dedication to a well-rounded curriculum that included sports, music and theater.

Mr. Latham taught History, English, Latin and French, was the school librarian, coached soccer, and directed plays and musical programs at Dublin School from 1946 to 1956. He is the author of Dublin School: A New Beginning, 1970 – 1985 and is now retired and living in Hanover, NH.

The recipient of this award will be chosen by a special committee including the Headmaster, Academic Dean, and President of the Student Body. The committee will review all recommendations and make the fi nal decision. The award will be presented at the Academic Awards Ceremony the evening before graduation.

Master Plan Update

Members of the Master Plan Committee, with chair Michael Mullins ’93, and members of the Head’s Administrative Council, have met several times to identify the key steps the School needs to take over the next few years. The committee is also reviewing several proposals from different architectural fi rms for the creation of an overall campus master plan to be used as a guide for the development of the campus.

game areas. This was made possible by extending the fi eld at the northeast side and adding a rock embankment to the south rim. Improved drainage, a perimeter fence and grass replacement were also part of this major undertaking. A generous donation from Nicholas Silitch, Class of ’79, allowed this project on the Headmaster’s Wish List to become a reality.

Improve Whitney Gymnasium - Equipment

Two generous gifts from Judith Hoyt Goddard and Louisa Birch ’57, enabled the Athletics Department to acquire much desired upgrades to what is already available in the Whitney Gymnasium. Included in the purchase are (6) new treadmills, (1) elliptical trainer, (1) upright bicycle, (1) knee raise machine, (1) cable crossover machine, and (1) spotter-less bench press also known as a Smith machine. This equipment signifi cantly enhanced the cardiovascular area and arrived in early October.

The Perkin Science Grant

Many exciting additions to the science department and the Dublin campus in general have been realized by the generosity of an $80,000 grant from The Perkin Fund. Among the improvements and acquisitions that are now used in the School’s science classes are:

• Weather Station (part of the Weather Bug System)

• Solar Photovoltaic Panels (up & running with visual display)

• Wind Turbine

• Dock addition to the outdoor classroom

• Computers & Projectors in 3 classrooms

• New Science Classroom

• Optical & Digital Microscopes

• Biology Slides

• Spectrometer

• Telescope

• Video Camera

• (7) Digital Cameras

• Printer

These valuable additions to our science program would not have been possible without this wonderful grant and the assistance of John M. Gray ’88, a trustee of The Perkin Fund, to whom we are deeply grateful.

Memorial Field Renovation

The Buildings and Grounds crew worked diligently throughout this past summer expanding and renovating the upper playing fi eld to accommodate two 50x100 yard

Solar panels and weather station on top of the David E. Howe Administration Building.

To the Dublin Community:

I am honored to be writing to you as the new Director of Development and Alumni Affairs. I have had the privilege of being an active member of the Dublin School community for the past ten

years in my role as teacher, coach, dorm parent and college counselor. I can say with complete confi dence that we have an extraordinary school. However, it was not until this year in my role as director, that I fully realized the generosity and ongoing commitment of our alumni, parents, faculty and friends.

For the fi scal year that ended on June 30, 2007, Dublin School recorded 626 gifts totaling $684,063.77. Of this total, $301,828.32 came from our Annual Fund which supports the day-to-day operations of the school, including teachers’ salaries, fi nancial aid, academic and extracurricular programs. The balance came from a variety of capital gifts including a science grant from The Perkin Fund, improvements to the Whitney Gymnasium, an expansion of Memorial Field, a new school website, and a campus-wide master plan.

Finally, we were honored to receive $59,653.83 in memory of Christopher R. Horgan during the 2006-2007 fi scal year. Those who gave to this fund between the dates of April 10, 2007 and June 30, 2007 are listed in the appropriate donor category. In addition, as memorial gifts continue to be made in his honor, we have listed everyone who has contributed to this fund in the “In Memory” section of this issue.

It is an understatement to say this has been a year of transition. However, what has not changed is the dedication and support of our families, alumni, faculty and friends. To all who have supported Dublin this past year, I extend my heartfelt thanks and appreciation. Your fi nancial support and gifts of friendship ensure that Dublin School continues to be a vibrant school with a bright future.

Thank you for making a difference!

This program celebrates the birthday of a student in a signifi cant and long-lasting way. Parents and grandparents can purchase books that benefi t

today’s students and will contribute to those in the years to come. The Dublin School faculty and Librarian have compiled a list of various titles, taking into consideration the needs of the library and the mission of the School. They have determined that these books will enhance the library’s collection and add reference resources for numerous courses.

The ongoing contributions to the Birthday Book Program continue to enrich the library and the academic programs at the School. If you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact Ed Kerman, head Librarian, at (603) 563-8584, ext. 243.

We have made every effort to be as accurate as possible in recognizing all

those who have contributed so thoughtfully to Dublin School in the

fi scal year July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. If your name has been listed incorrectly

or omitted, please contact the Development Offi ce at (603) 563-1232.

As a teacher, I have broken down the year into component parts. There is the start of the year with its high energy rush and the exhaustion that follows

in October, the lunacy around the fall and winter holidays, the nose to the grindstone winter, the “Is it vacation already?” in March, and the sprint to the fi nish in the spring. Summer vacation has its own sections. I have split summer vacation into three categories: June is used to fi nish up what is left of last school year; July is to forget the hurdles and diffi culties faced; and August is to realize how you feed off of the dynamic nature of the classroom, miss the excitement, and get ready to face another year. As the New Year gets going the anticipation and enthusiasm of the faculty is refl ected, though denied, in the students. For the kids it is the social and extra-curricular that excites, for the faculty it is the kids excitement and the renewed hope that the kids will actually learn what we are teaching them. These are, of course, generalities, but what better place to start than the universally strong feelings that surround the school year, your average emotions as the year starts.

Of course Dublin is not your average school and this is not your average year. Change is in the air, sudden in the spring, more expected and anticipated now. Having been a senior in the last class that faced the sudden loss of the head of school back in the 1991-92 school year, I can say from experience that while the challenges are many, so too are the possibilities. Those of us who had the honor of really getting to know Chris Horgan know that his humor, his quiet strength, his few but oh so powerful words can never be replaced. I have found myself thinking offhand of turning to his wisdom and guidance only to realize that this is no longer possible, and in those moments I miss my friend profoundly. I can only hope and spend the rest of my life trying, as an educator and individual, to live up to the example that Chris set.

Since 1988, the Horgan family has been on campus. I remember when Spenser was born (I was a Junior, as he is this year), when Chris became Headmaster, and the grace he displayed adjusting and fi nding new ways to pursue the direction needed to push the school into the future without losing touch with the past. In short, Chris (and I am sure the rest of his family as well) got what Dublin was, is, and could be. In much the same way as the faculty brings out the best of the students, so too does the administration look to bring out the best of the school.

But change is diffi cult. Most of us involved in the alumni association have experienced its thrill and disruption this year: Jason Potts in Law School, Mandy Schofi eld fi nishing her teaching degree, John Mattson married and moved to the west coast, and me twice moved and a new school to teach at last year. Change often gets in the way of communication and makes it diffi cult to keep in touch. It doesn’t have to, but the path of least resistance is to keep up with your own world and let other concerns fall by the wayside.

Please, if you needed a reason to not let that happen, look to help the school this year. We all knew Dublin, and if you are not sure if you still do, make plans to stop by for an event, help fi nd an old classmate and chat with them about the old days. Keep in touch and keep Dublin in mind. When we were there as students we got the best that Dublin had to offer, now we need to continue to be involved to make sure that quality and integrity, the Truth and Courage of Dublin that Chris shepherded these past nearly two decades is upheld. For an old friend, for your own memories, for the past, the future, for the best of the Dublin School and all that that implies, help us make a vibrant and connected alumni body. We alums can make a difference.

Jennifer Miller FieldJennifer, now a resident of Los Angeles, was back in this neck of the woods in October to visit her mother and to perform her one-woman show “A Distant Memory” at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center. The show’s title refers to the horseback riding of her youth when she was a nationally recognized show jumper – something she walked away from following a battle for her life after an accident with a tractor-trailer truck on a snow-covered Route 101 in Dublin in 1992. Through years of rehabilitation and physical therapy, she managed to graduate magna cum laude from Wheaton College with a degree in art history. It was while studying to be a yoga instructor in CA that she decided to stay and begin painting, writing and acting, all of which has allowed her to chronicle and express her feelings of this experience. She is currently on tour with the show. Monadnock Ledger-Transcript: 10/18/07

Alumni Reunion Weekend 2007

Alumni Weekend ’07 was kicked off with a Coffee House, a Dublin tradition of performances by students, faculty and staff on an outdoor stage

in front of the school house. Classmates spanning 70 years mingled and reminisced while music fi lled the air, making the energy on campus positively electric with cheer and laughter.

The next morning, “Dublin School, The Early Years” narrated by Scott Olsen ’07 and a panel of Louisa Lehmann Birch ’57, Michael Cornog, David Howe H ’95 and Jason Smith ’92 enriched the Dublin School community with a historical Dublin School slide show in the Louise Shonk Kelley Recital Hall. Highlights included skiing on the Dublin campus, maple syrup sugaring and work gang using a saw-rig to cut cord wood.

A high-spirited production of “Caliente! Caliente! Caliente!” directed by Jan Haman was also performed on the outdoor stage to a capacity crowd on Cinco de Mayo.

In keeping with the Spanish fl avor of the day, Master of Ceremonies Ben Petrowitsch ’08 announced in both Spanish and English enriching the montage of Latin American music and dances that had the audience on their feet.

The celebration continued with the annual Maypole Dance on the quad. Crowned with ivy and delicate fl owers, the Class of ’07 wove the traditional ribbons around the pole before thieving Juniors burst onto the scene to commandeer it to the woods.

Later that afternoon in the Lehmann Dining Hall, alumni milestones were acknowledged with song from the Dublin community. Among those feted were Trustee Louisa Lehmann Birch ’57 celebrating her 50th anniversary, Roger Burke ’47, his 60th, and Thomas P. Rockwell ’37 celebrating his 70th!

An honorable mention goes out to Rick O’Connor and the class of 1967 for having the greatest number of participants returning back to campus.

Alums then gathered for an elegant evening of dinner, drinks and lively conversation at the Alumni Reception, held off campus at Four-Star Catering/Hidden Hills in Rindge, New Hampshire. With old acquaintances reunited and new friends made, anticipation of Alumni Weekend 2008 brought the festivities to a close

Next Alumni Reunion Weekend May 9-11, 2008

A full weekend of events, all on campus, has been planned for our Alumni Weekend this year. The weekend will again coincide with the Dublin School Mayfair, beginning on Friday night with a coffee house. The “Urban Hustle,” a powerful program of dance directed by Jan Haman and Erika Rogers, and choreographed by our own Dublin dancers, will set the tone on Saturday morning for an energetic day of activities, including the traditional Maypole Dance by the Class of 2008. Our annual reception/banquet will be Saturday night and will take place here on the Dublin campus. This is going to be an exceptional Alumni Weekend, full of opportunity to see Dublin School at its best.

32 The Secret Sauce at Dublin School

The Secret Sauce at Dublin School

What is it that makes Dublin so special? It is a place that seems to grab hold of all who attend and keeps us coming back. It is

like asking, “What makes In and Out burgers so very tasty? If you have been to California you know what I mean, and if you have not, come to California and try one. Like my beloved “Double, Double” burger, there is a secret sauce in the makeup of Dublin School. A secret sauce that is virtually impossible to put into words, but I am going to do my best at explaining what this magic is…

Dublin is the family we never knew we

needed. A family with members that annoy us and some

that we wish we were not related to, but on the whole, we

love and respect. We would defend our brothers and sisters

in a second against any who dare hurt them. Many who

enter Dublin feel overwhelmed by their “new life:” classes,

study halls, sports teams, outings, mountain day, snow, leaves,

work gang, etc. I know that there were times when I could

not wait to be done with Dublin, especially in February

with the 50th snow storm and my having to shovel snow

AGAIN. But an amazing thing happens in May of each year;

we all have the realization that we will be leaving for the

summer and we feel sad. We think of how much we will

miss our new family. For good or for bad, Dublin is a family

and you will always be a part of it.

Dublin is a place where we get to discover

who we are as individuals. Be it in the classroom or on

the playing fi eld, it is a place where we grow in so many

ways that we often do not realize them all until we have

left. One of the greatest gifts Dublin gave me was the ability

to interact even with people I did not like. At a minimum

I would have to see someone four times a day, breakfast,

lunch, dinner and morning meeting. I most likely saw them

more than that, and I could not avoid interacting with them,

so I had to learn the skills to deal with the confl ict and

move on. This has served me well for the last 20 years since

I left Dublin.

Dublin is a place where you learn constantly.

Whether it be inside the classroom, with a teacher during

study hall, during work gang, or behind the set of a

performance, we are learning. Unlike most other schools,

every graduate leaves knowing how to use basic tools, like

a hammer or a rake. We learn what hard work is and what

mind numbing cold is. Everyone can say they have climbed

a mountain at least once and for most more than that.

Dublin is a place where there is always a hug

waiting for you. The hug comes whether you come back

on campus, or see other alumnus/a on the street. It is a place

where you always have a connection. I come back and talk to

students and feel as though I am a student again. Why? Because

we have all experienced the same thing, and at our core we all

believe in ourselves and the school.

The Secret Sauce. I am not sure what is in the

secret sauce. I cannot tell you what it tastes like. I can only

invite you to try it and share it with others.

Christopher Reagan HorganHeadmaster, Dublin School

1994 – 2007

Learning to say goodbye

One never knows how many lives one has touched until it is time to say goodbye. In St. Patrick’s church in Jaffrey, NH, on April

14, 2007, that number took on a human face as youth and age, students and graduates, past and present faculty, parents, friends and family gathered to honor Chris Horgan. Spilling over church pews, aisles, and the choir loft - every inch of the church - were those “touched ones” standing shoulder to shoulder with tears in their eyes, a full circle, a human ring of emotion and love. They had come from as far away as California, Beijing, and Dubai – these people whose lives Chris Horgan touched, and they had many anecdotes and memories to share about this man.

In his remarks, Dean of Students, John Marquis, recalled that “Chris had a great humility about him, as well as a great understanding of human nature. He could see the promise in everyone he met.” Chris Horgan, people will tell you, believed in second chances. On April 10th and many days since, promises have been affi rmed and chances have been taken. Actually, in many ways, this gift of seeing the promise in people and taking chances is the embodiment of the Dublin way. It is, at its core, what Dublin is all about.

Chris Horgan had a unique ‘knack’ for hearing and appreciating where each of these people were in his/her life. He had a genuine respect for each person’s current place or situation, and, if he could, offered ideas and solutions to help. Chris was many things to many people. He was a listener, but also an excellent storyteller. He loved the small ironies of everyday life. He loved a good ball game, a good Chinese dinner, and a good episode of “Seinfeld.” His mischievous sense of humor could turn the tense moment into a far less serious one. Chris Horgan did not take himself too seriously, and he did not let you take yourself too seriously either.

He had a passion for tennis and teaching others how to play. He could (and would) quote any fact about any match ever played by any player. In his psychology course, Chris delighted in helping his students understand the roots of their behavior. On campus, his offi ce as both Dean of Students and Headmaster was a place of sanctuary to share a story, voice a concern, or simply sit and take in the view.

Chris was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather and friend. He was an insatiable reader, a Klingenstein Fellow, a psychologist, a coach, and a teacher. Chris was a Dean of Students, a CEO, and our Headmaster. He was a general of Mountain Day, rallying his troops up the slopes of the Grand Monadnock. He took the reins of this little school on this humble hill called Dublin, and he effected a steady ride into a more secure future. Chris Horgan “got” Dublin. And better still, he “kept” Dublin in his heart and mind while guiding it carefully with common sense and love. His job is done now, and the rest of us are left to do our job – learning to say goodbye.
