Kramer HouseThis summer, our health services center found a new home in Kramer House, formerly East Arch House. This refurbishedand redesigned facility provides the same high-quality servicesas in the old location but in a much more homelike atmosphere.Our students will definitely benefit from this wonderful “new”facility. The Kramer House renovation honors Reginald Kramer,who lived in this building during his long tenure on the Shattuckfaculty, and was made possible by the generosity of Shattuckalumni from the classes of 1960-1966. Their support also facilitated the renovation of West Arch House, a faculty residence, and they have our heartfelt thanks.

Letters to the Editor...We welcome your letters. Please note that letters may be edited for clarity and brevity.

General Eddy Made An ImpressionI certainly enjoyed the article in The Arch about Lt. Gen. Manton S. Eddy.General Eddy visited Shattuck when I was there from 1947-49. He was ahero at Shattuck because he went into the army directly from there and wasable to achieve such a high military rank without the advantage of being agraduate of West Point. He spoke to us from the alcove in the dining room.He told us a joke on himself about when he was in a military hospital. Heasked one of the young soldiers if he knew who his commanding generalwas. The young man didn’t realize who he was speaking with and made somecomment that wasn’t very complimentary to General Eddy.

In 1951-52, I was serving with the Seventh Army in Germany. It was com-manded by General Eddy. He came to inspect our battalion. I was hoping toask him if he met many Old Shads in Germany. However, he never got downto my level.

As I recall my brief exposure to General Eddy, I was impressed that he wasmost friendly and easy-going. It was a pleasure having the opportunity ofbeing exposed to this great man.

Former Teacher Enjoys A Look BackI am a former teacher at Shattuck—before it merged with St. Mary’s. I wasthere for just two years, 1963-64 and 1964-65, but they were very importantyears for me. They were my first years of teaching after serving in the Armyfor two years. I learned a lot about teaching, young men, and myself.

Mr. Keiffer was the assistant headmaster and my mentor. I taught physics ashe had. I became the hockey coach by default because the head coach leftduring the summer. We had a perfect season, 0-12. This was back in the out-door rink days and we played a short schedule with other private schools inthe Twin Cities area. Amazing to see how the hockey program has changed in the interim. It seems the overall enrollment is back to what it was then,about 250.

I read every issue of The Arch that comes, but [the winter 2010] one I readfrom cover to cover in one sitting!!!! Loved each piece!!! A wonderful variety.ROTC was there when I was there so the piece on the General was meaning-ful to me. I enjoyed the piece on the staff—a critical part of the school thatdoes not generally get much attention. I enjoyed reading Don Purrington’sname, as he was there when I was. Loved the great comment about OrwinRustad, one of the greatest colleagues a young teacher could have. A fewyears ago I did bring him over for lunch at a Reunion Weekend—he wasrecovering from hip surgery, I believe. What a guy!!! I also saw mention ofHarry O’Connor, a good friend and golf buddy. Harry, Ellie and girls lived inthe house on the golf course—how handy! The issue did bring back greatmemories.

Jamie Remembers ‘The Move’I just received the winter 2010 Arch and, as always, the photos and stories ofthose who’ve dedicated their lives to this wonderful school touched my heart.

A familiar face was that of Kevin Blake, a fellow Jamie who I knew quite well.I was there for the move in ’71, the summer in between and ’72, and a daydoesn’t pass that I don’t think of those days.

Life is Life is a ClassroomA message from Nick Stoneman, Head of School

2

Editor’s Note: On June 3, 2010, Head ofSchool Nick Stoneman continued the long-standing tradition of addressing the seniorsand their parents at the 2010 Senior Dinner.In contemplating this column for The Arch,Nick felt that the perspectives shared with ourdeparting students might also be of interest toour greater school community.

At this time of year, all of us who workhere find ourselves asking the question,“Did we do all that we could to prepare youfor Life beyond the Arch?”

I think we can say with some convictionthat we feel very good about your abilitiesas students, artists, athletes, and your beingcontributing members of your next com-munity. We feel we have helped youunderstand the importance of furtheringyour spiritual journey. You have showed us your poise and maturity, your ability torespect others and be respected. We haveseen that you know how to focus, bringyour strengths to bear, and, when needed,build new strengths and competencies.

But life does have its curveballs. Andbelieve it or not, you each have a great dealmore to learn—and the vast majority of itwill not take place with a teacher holdingforth before you, will not come with a text-book or a convenient web page to access,and will not have the “right” answer foryou to share and be lauded over throughgrades and comments.

The Lessons of the Future will come inmany disguises. Will you recognize them?Will you be lifelong learners open to theglimpses of wisdom, advice, and insightthat will come your way?

We have helped you develop into clairvoy-ant thinkers, articulate in your expressionand analytical in your process. Will you beable to use these tools to discern the meritsof an experience, an interaction, to appreci-ate an epiphany and have an “ah ha”moment or two or three?

I believe that in time you will. I know, for me, that it took sometime to recognizethat, in fact, life is a classroom, and that younever know when class is in session orwho the teacher could be, but you have to always be willing to accept that the bellcan, metaphorically, ring at any time, andthe lesson can begin at a moment’s notice.And, of course, the lesson will typically notbe presented as a lesson. And it may not beuntil sometime later that you get it, or thatits significance really sinks in.

So, to bring this to life, I thought I mighttake you into some of the “classrooms” Ihave encountered along the way. Perhapsyou might get a sense of what I am reallygetting at this evening.

When I was in kindergarten, a mere 5years old, around Halloween time, we allcame to school in our costumes. One boydressed up as Superman. I thought itwould be appropriate to tell him that hiscostume was pretty lame and that justbecause he had a big “S” on his shirt, hereally wasn’t Superman. He wound up andpopped me on the nose, and the bloodstarted flowing, surpassed only by the tearsI wept as I ran bawling to my teacher.

While the lesson might have been that it isimportant to be careful what you say to analleged superhero, the real lesson I gleanedwas how important it was to have a senseof discretion and diplomacy when sharinga controversial opinion.

At age 8, our family, consisting of eightchildren, belonged to the Bedford Golf andTennis Club. It was and remains, for some,a prestigious country club. I loved the tennis and golf we played in the summer.Over the course of our first year of mem-bership, my dad came to realize that theclub’s unwritten policy was to not allowJews or African Americans to be members.He withdrew our membership and for therest of my childhood we used the publicpool and courts—and my dad made surewe knew exactly why. We made newfriends and quickly forgot the Bedford Golfand Tennis Club, but the lesson we learnedat an early age had a formative impact oneach of the eight of us, a lesson both ofequality and of standing up for what onebelieves in.

At age 18, right after high school gradua-tion, I spent six months on an oil rig in thePanhandle of Texas working as a rough-neck. The driller, a 65-year-old, tobacco-chewing, overall-clad Texan who had beenworking in the oilfields since he was 14,was my boss. He was a man of few words.

Our crew of four had the graveyard shiftand one night in late fall, I was sitting, having a Dr Pepper, taking my break, andhe came into the break room and sat downnext to me. “Yank,” he said, “seems to meyou’re a long way from home. You best come

over to our place for Thanksgiving.” And hegot up and walked out.

In that very brief encounter, I experienceda humanity and kindness in a way I hadnever experienced before. This roughneckoil driller, in a less-than-30-second conver-sation, erased the working class, poorlyeducated, redneck stereotype I had framedfrom my lofty Northeastern prep schoolperch. Without me anticipating it, the life-long lesson of taking the time to know theindividual and not fall prey to stereotypinghad been taught by a very wise teacher.

After college while working at SalomonBrothers, an investment banking firm onWall Street, I had the chance to accompanyone of the firm’s managing directors as wewalked up the internal stairwell from theinvestment banking offices to the tradingfloor. This was a very big deal for me, arecent college graduate.

As we ascended the stairs, a cleaning lady,carrying her cleaning supplies was on herway down. The managing director pulledme aside to let her pass and, after she wasout of earshot, turned to me and said,“Understand that if you are going to workhere, you have a responsibility to make surethat the doors to success are open to all.”

All these many years later, his wisdom stillrings true as I think about how we caneach play a role in helping in the lives ofothers. Who would have thought suchpearls of wisdom could emerge in a briefencounter, in the stairwell of an officebuilding, in downtown Manhattan?

Sometime ago I had a chance to run in asnowshoe marathon in Duluth, MN. Thenight before the race, there was a pasta dinner for all participants. I happened to sit with the longtime race director at thedinner. She had long gray hair, weatheredskin, piercing blue eyes, and a gentle, wisemanner about her.

I was very nervous about the race and didnot really understand the course map thatwas provided. Afraid that I would get offtrack and be out in the woods in whatwould be 10-below weather, I asked herrepeatedly during dinner about the course.

Finally she smiled, patted me on the shoul-der, and said in a comforting voice, “Listen,you need to relax. If in the race, just like in

life, you get off the beaten path, things will beOK. Just be calm and persistent and you willfind your way out of the trouble you thinkyou’re in and get back on track. You are notthe first, and certainly won’t be the last, whohasn’t always made the right choice. It’s allabout how you handle it, now isn’t it?”

If she was not holding forth and teachingclass at that moment, then she certainlyfooled me!

Finally, sometimes lessons can come fromthe environment around you. Not longago, I ran in a long distance race. After afew miles, I kept feeling this irritating peb-ble rubbing the sole of my shoe. I keptshaking my foot and jostling it to get thepebble to a more bearable spot but it keptreturning, kept nagging. I knew that toreally address it I would have to stop, butthat would slow me down, let others getahead. I couldn’t let that happen. I finallydecided that I needed to deal with it, and I stopped and pulled it out. Unfortunately,by that time it was too late. My sole wasblistered and oozy and I eventually had todrop out.

As I reflected back on the experience, Irealized the running error, but also realizedthe broader lesson. Listen to your soul!(And yes, the pun is intentional!) Whenyou are trying to forge ahead in your stud-ies, your relationships, your careers, makesure you take the time to mind your spirit,your ethic, your personal code of behavior.The sole of my foot was calling for help,asking me to slow down and pay attention.I ignored it. I paid the price.

I now think regularly about whether I amtaking care of both my running sole as wellas the more important inner soul. As adaily reminder of that important lesson, I keep a pebble on my dresser and see itevery morning when I dress.

Remember that these lessons are differentfor everyone and are only heard if you, thelifelong learner, is willing to listen. Andhere is the good news. Along the way,know that you can be the teachers—tofriends, family, and even to the adults whosurround you. You already possess a greatdeal of wisdom and good judgment. Iwould simply ask that you both sharethem and add to them as you continue on with your journey.

Director of the new BioScience programat SSM, Dr. Maren LaLiberty

SSMShattuck-St. Mary’s School will launch its BioScience Program this fall in a newbuilding, under a new director, and with a new, three-pronged approach to preparing students for a career in the bioscience field.

“We will have a lot of exploration in a two-year program and give studentsexposure to many different sides of med-icine and science,” said Maren LaLiberty,M.D., the founding director of the program. Dr. LaLiberty holds an M.D.and a B.A. in microbiology from theUniversity of Minnesota. “It’s a programfor very motivated high school studentswho would like to get a head start in science and in understand how it relatesto their career choices. Lots of kids willsay, ‘I want to be a doctor,’ but there are many other places for them to usetheir science skills. I would really like to interest students who are good in science in other areas, like patent law,biotechnology, research clinics.

Dr. LaLiberty will teach the biosciencecourses in a two-year rotation.Students will study structure, function,physiology and pathophysiologythrough an organ systems approach.Other courses will cover control of infectious diseases, principles ofpublic health, biology of infectiousorganisms and the biology of thehuman immune system. In an addi-tional course, students will examinethe ethical theories and standards usedin making health-related decisions onspecific biomedical issues.

Dr. LaLiberty and the bioscience studentswill have their headquarters in the newlybuilt Fayfield Hall in early 2011 but don’texpect to always find them there. As Dr. LaLiberty notes, “I’ve been teachinganatomy for five years, and we’ll use thatas a foundation and then dive in. We’llhave students see a surgery, see peopledesigning prosthetics, in labs doingresearch, all sorts of things. It will be very real-life focused. We’ll have studentsdoing hands-on research, to satisfy theirown curiosity and to write scientific arti-cles. They’ll learn all the skills needed towrite a scientific paper and make an oralpresentation, and we hope to get some ofthe articles published.”

Fayfield Hall is named for Bob Fayfield’58, the president and CEO of BannerEngineering, who has been a consistentadvocate for science, technology, engi-neering and math excellence at theSchool and was a major inspiration in theconstruction of the first new building oncampus in 80 years.

“Fayfield Hall has been planned exclusivelyfor lab work and that’s very exciting, inan academic way,” said Dr. LaLiberty. “Itcan be lonely in the lab, and that’s impor-tant for students to realize. Sometimes it’sjust you and your test tubes.”

Dr. LaLiberty has firsthand knowledge ofthe variety of career options available to a person well-trained in the biosciences.After practicing family medicine for severalyears, she decided to switch to teachingand coaching. She spent seven yearscoaching women’s rowing at the Universityof Wisconsin–Madison before taking herextensive knowledge of biological sciencesto St. Margaret’s School in Tappahannock,

VA, where she taught science and mathcourses, and coached the rowing team.

“I’ve been here for six years and I’m sad toleave,” she said.“I started [at St. Margaret’s]because it was a job but now, it’s really acommunity. It’s like a small town. It’s thecommunity feel. Now, when someonesays something about boarding schoollife, I can just say, ‘Yup, I know.’

“But I want to be closer to my family. Ihave 2-year-old twin girls and my threesisters told me last summer that ‘resis-tance is futile’ because they want to beaunts. And, I really miss my dad inMinneapolis. I’m the second to the oldestdaughter and the last one to move backto Minnesota.”

Dr. LaLiberty’s job search began shortlyafter SSM’s creation of the bioscience

“Fayfield Hall has been plannedexclusively for labwork and that’s very exciting, in an academic way. It can be lonely in the lab, and that’simportant for studentsto realize. Sometimesit’s just you and yourtest tubes.”

program started. The two converged whenSSM Associate Head of School Matt Rubyinterviewed Dr. LaLiberty.

Bioscience courses are open to all SSM students who are interested in medicine or medical technologies and who have performed well in other biology coursesand have departmental permission.

“The BioScience Program is intended primarily for juniors and seniors,”explained Dr. LaLiberty. “It’s a two-yearprogram, but if a senior wants to start it,we could probably work that out. And, I’m not saying ‘No’ to students who want to combine this with another Center ofExcellence focus, but we would have to talkwith the student and parents about whethercombining the two would be possible. Butyes, we are willing to talk about that.”

Dr. LaLiberty notes that the program willbegin with a core group of students but isexpected to expand. “The first year, we’llprobably have a handful of students, andthat’s fine while we get the program off theground. It is such an individualized programthat it’s never going to be really big.”

With its academic rigor and time commit-ment from its participants, the Schoolexpects the impact of the program to besignificant for those students who choosethe BioScience path. “It’s harder and harderto get into college and medical school,” Dr. LaLiberty noted. “We hope that thiswork helps make our students’ applicationsstand out.” And, it is also the hope thatonce students do land in college, theBioScience program will have given themgreater clarity about chosen fields of study.

SSM FACILITIES UPDATE

Fayfield Hallbecoming a reality...

Fayfield Hall3:Winter Arch Layouts 8/3/2010 10:33 AM Page 6

The first new academic building on the Shattuck-St. Mary’sSchool campus in more than 80 years began emerging in Aprilwhen ground was broken for Fayfield Hall.

“We’re hoping for good weather this summer,” said Patty Billings,who’s overseeing the project. “Our schedule is very aggressive butwe plan to move in over the Christmas break.”

Alumni and visitors on campus for Reunion could see plenty ofevidence of the early work of digging trenches and re-grading.

“Nobody ever thought we’d be building on this stretch ofground,” Billings said of the space on the north side of Kinghamand Dobbin halls. “We’ve been very busy relocating utilities thatrun under the site. When you use a building, you don’t thinkabout all the things that have to happen underneath the ground.”

Billings said the School is working with a general contractor,Professional Contractors, a local firm owned by Steve Underdahl.“We are hoping to use a lot of local subcontractors from Faribaultarea,” she said. “The community is very excited to see the build-ing going up.”

With a laugh, Billings added that “students weren’t excited whenwe closed down their parking lot, but they all understandbecause we’re going to have a wonderful new building openingin early 2011.”

“The new building is going to have an amazing flood of naturallight because the north face is all glass,” she said. “We’re veryexcited about that because it’s a really supportive condition forstudent learning. The science faculty has spent hours determin-ing the best layouts and how they want lab spaces to interactwith classroom space. Dr. [Maren] LaLiberty spent time with thecompany that is helping design the bioscience laboratory and shemade it very clear that it will be an independent research lab, nota classroom space. It will look like a college research lab, not ahigh school science lab, which is a big difference.”

The SSM science faculty will be the primary occupants of thenew space. Long-term plans also call for a renovation of KinghamHall when funds are available. The facilities will house theSchool’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) class-es and its STEM Academy, which is an outreach effort to engagestudents throughout the region in STEM activities.

Build itAnd they will come...

With students participating on more than10 interscholastic sports teams and inCenters of Excellence for figure skating,synchronized skating, soccer (five teams)and hockey (eight teams), the sports facilities at Shattuck-St. Mary’s School get a workout.

And then some.

Although student athletics are the top priority when scheduling SSM’s DaneFamily Field House (affectionately knownas the “dome”), two indoor ice arenas, andthree outdoor soccer fields, the facilitiesare rarely empty, even when students arestudying, eating or sleeping.

“The School’s programming comes first,”said John Menk, manager of new initia-tives at SSM. Menk pointed out that the

School also offers open skates for studentswho aren’t hockey players or figureskaters, and holds sleepovers in the dome.“It’s a balance, letting students who aren’tin the Centers of Excellence programs usethe facilities in addition to those organiza-tions seeking to rent space and ice time.We host community fundraisers, such asSSM Against the World, a fundraiser forthe Faribault Hockey Association in whichour alums played against other pros, and a Turkey Trot 5K.

“Our facilities are very well used. We can’tbe everything to everyone, but outsideusers do help to offset operating expenses.”

Those “outside users” include everyonefrom a 5-year-old learning to skate to a70-something running in the dome during a Faribault winter.

“Before the addition of the new rink andthe dome, the community’s use of ourfacilities was somewhat casual,” saidMenk. “With the new facilities, it’s muchmore of an operation, and it gets biggerand bigger every year. It’s really a testamentto the way the facilities were designed andhow they’re operated. People from thecommunity really appreciate using thefacilities and how nice they are.”

When it had just one rink, the School was able to offer the Faribault HockeyAssociation some ice time but only on alimited basis. Now, hockey associationsfrom Farmington, Lakeville, Northfieldand New Prague, in addition to juniorsand adult teams, also buy time on the ice.

Out of the woodwork!“We’re proactive in trying to get adults inafter-hours,” said Menk, noting that therinks often are used until 10 or 11 p.m.“They might not be closed for even sixhours on a weekend.”

The situation is similar with the domeexcept that instead of hosting two sports(hockey and figure skating), the dome ishome for soccer, running, lacrosse andultimate Frisbee.

SSM’s own Soccer Academy draws in localyoungsters three days a week for 16 weeksto learn the game from the School’s owncoaches. From November to April, localrunners and walkers escape from snow orrain by working out in the dome duringearly morning periods. Area colleges

stretch the lacrosse season, despite theMidwest’s fickle weather, by schedulingmulti-game weekends, starting in February.Other college athletes, some of whomhave earned national titles in the sport,use the dome for ultimate Frisbee games.

“They love the facility,” said Menk, “becausethere’s no wind. It’s a great contrast to thebackyard game and is a very athletic sportand exciting to watch.”

The real excitement, however, happensbehind the scenes. That’s where SSM’s staff keeps the ice smooth, the lockerrooms picked up, the lines marked.

“It amazing the work that they do,” saidMenk of the two full-time and one part-timestaff members who, along with a stable of

on-call part-timers, maintain and overseethe activity. “They have some very longweekends. When you have a lot of kids, 8 to 18, going through the facilities, thingsare going to get broken and things aregoing to happen. And there are always a lot of questions.

“The schedule looks clean and tidy, but to actually have people come through thedoor is a little more challenging,” he said.“Our team approach is the key to it all.Everyone from board members to students,we all make it work because we problemsolve, we raise concerns and we addressthose concerns together. It’s the SSM way.”

New NationalTitle for SSMHockeyWinning national titles isn’t new forShattuck-St. Mary’s hockey program, but this spring, SSM did record a first: a national championship in the girls Tier I Under-16 division of USA Hockey.

“We had high expectations coming intothe season,” said first-year coach DanKoch, who came to SSM from an assistantcoaching position at the University ofWisconsin. “We had a goal right off thebat to make it to the championship gameand to be in a position to win a champi-onship. As the year went on, we reallyprogressed well as a group, playingtogether and being supportive.”

In the championship game, SSM faced afamiliar opponent in Little Caesars. Thetwo evenly matched teams had met fivetimes before during the season, going 2-2-1 against each other. The nationaltitle game in Green Bay, WI, started down the usual storyline with a scoreless firstperiod, but the Sabres pulled away in thesecond and finished with a 4-1 victory.

After SSM’s Alexis Crossley ’12 scored first in the second period, Little Caesarsanswered just 1:29 later. But StephanieLemieux ’13 and then Kim Drake ’12scored for a 3-1 SSM lead after two periods.

“We kind of had a theme during the tour-nament,” said Coach Koch. “We won ourfirst game in a shootout, lost the next inovertime, and went into our third gameneeding to win to make it into the medalround.

“I’ve read Muhammad Ali’s biography andI told the girls about how he saved upmoney to buy a bike and someone stolehis bike. He said that when he fought, helooked across the ring and thought of hisopponent as the person who stole hisbike. I reminded the girls that we had toget our bike back. I talked about how we

had sacrificed, with practice at 6:30 a.m.,time in the weight room, and living indorms, away from home. I said, ‘Howdare that team try to take away ourchampionship.’ ”

Lemieux scored again, a power-play goalat 7:52 of the third period, before SSMgoaltender Jorie Walters ’12, who had 17 saves in the game, and the defenseshut down Little Caesars.

“The last seven, eight minutes of thechampionship were really memorable,”

said Coach Koch. “When you reach thetop of that mountain, and the other teamis taking penalties, and you can watchyour players being really happy for eachother. As a coach, you watch it, and it’stheir moment to be rewarded for theirefforts and sacrifices.”

Depth and balance were strengths for the SSM team. Fourteen players hadmore than 20 points during the season,five had more than 40 points, and fourplayers had more than 50 points, oralmost a point a game.

in 49 years. The Hawks defeatedPhiladelphia 4-3 in overtime of thesixth game to win the series, fourgames to two.

“There are so many great things aboutwinning a Stanley Cup,” Toews toldThe Sporting News. “This is it. This is the best feeling you can ever get. I just can’t believe it’s happened. Thisteam put on one heckuva run. We

Once Again, SSM Alum Drinks from Stanley Cup

knew from Day One of the seasonthis team had the potential of ourgoal. It’s just an amazing feeling right now.”

Last year, it was Toews’ gold-medalwinning Canadian Olympic team-mate Sidney Crosby, another SSMproduct, who captained thePittsburgh Penguins to the NHLtitle. But Toews did Crosby one better by winning the Conn SmytheTrophy, given to the player voted bya panel of the Professional HockeyWriters’ Association as most valuableplayer during the playoffs. The 22-year-old Toews is the first alum toearn that honor, recording 29 pointsin post-season play.

“The guy that’s the leading scorer in the playoffs always has a chance,”SSM Director of Hockey Tom Wardtold The Faribault Daily News. “Itwasn’t a sure thing because he wasn’tscoring so much in the Finals as hehad been before.”

Ward told The Faribault Daily Newsthat he and Toews keep in touch. “We text back and forth,” saidCoach Ward. “I don’t bug him muchin the playoffs, but I texted himafter the last round and said, ‘Goodluck,’ and he said ‘Thanks coach.’He’s a very unassuming kid. He wasa really good student. Big smile.Jonathan, he doesn’t have a big ego.That’s one of his most endearingqualities.”

Although Toews was held to onlythree assists in the Blackhawks’ six-game title series, he set up apower-play goal in the first period of the final game for his Blackhawksplayoff record-tying 29th point and franchise-best 22nd assist in 22 postseason games. He recorded 25 goals and 68 points during theregular season, leading Chicago to the Central Division title.

The hockey world’s spotlight onceagain shone on Shattuck-St. Mary’s

hockey program when, on the heelsof sending seven alumni to theOlympics, a Sabre alum captainedthe Stanley Cup winner and wasnamed the Most Valuable Player ofthe National Hockey League playoffs.

FIGURE SKATING UPDATE

SSM Putting Skaters in Sync

athletes on 288 of the 522 USFA-regis-tered teams attempted to qualify for the 25th U.S. Synchronized SkatingChampionships. The InternationalSkating Union officially recognized synchronized skating at its 1994Congress. In 1996, the United Stateshosted the first World SynchronizedSkating Challenge Cup with 17 teamsfrom 13 countries. Team USA won its

first medal at the 2007World Synchronized SkatingChampionships when theMiami (Ohio) Universityteam earned the silver.

Korn was the coach of thatteam and comes to SSMfrom Miami University.During her 25-year tenure atthe school, Miami Universityteams earned 11 nationalchampionships in the collegiate division and threenational championships inthe senior division. Kornwas named SynchronizedSkating Coach of the Year in 1997 and 1999 and theProfessional SkatersAssociation Coach of theYear in 2007.

“I was skating director atMiami and when synchro-

Vicki Korn is the new Director ofSynchronized Skating. She built a worldclass program at Miami University andintends to do the same at SSM.

SSM launched its first synchronized skating effort this past spring. The team competed at theHiawathaland Competition in Rochester, MN.

Equal parts drill team and figure skating,synchronized skating requires a teamof skaters to blend speed and accuracyinto intricate formations and maneuvers.

Shattuck-St. Mary’s School will add asynchronized figure skating programto its menu of athletic options nextfall. Veteran coach Vicki Korn willdevelop and direct the program, withplans to have a junior or senior levelteam compete in the 2010-11 season.

“It is the fastest growing skating discipline for the U.S. Figure SkatingAssociation,” said Korn, who bringsextensive experience as a national and international synchronized skatingcoach. “We hope to have a team of 16 here but we have at least eightalready so we will compete.”

Synchronized skating (or synchro)uses the same judging system as otherfigure skating formats. Teams of 8-22skaters must perform a free skate withrequired elements. At the junior andsenior levels, teams also perform a

short program of required moves.Synchronized teams compete at 15 different levels, depending on age andskill, in non-qualifying events as well as qualifying events that culminate withthe U.S. Synchronized Team SkatingChampionships.

Korn noted that synchronized skatingcombines all of the different elementsof the other skating disciplines, includ-ing lifts, jumps and spins. “In synchro-nized skating,” she said, “for the firsttime, skaters can really learn the valuesof being on a team.”

Synchronized skating is growing inpopularity across the country, and theworld. From its rather humble begin-ning as a sideshow—called precisionskating—during University of Michiganhockey games in Ann Arbor, MI, 50years ago, synchronized team skatinghas blossomed into a worldwide sport.

In 1984, 38 synchro teams participatedin the first U.S. Precision SkatingChampionships. In 2008, about 4,500

nized skating became a varsity sport in 1995, I becamethe head coach of that team,” she said. “I grew up withthe sport and I’m very impressed with it. Some peoplecall it Rockettes on ice, and it really is precision skatingand formations.”

Shattuck-St. Mary’s will be the only boarding schoolthat offers a synchronized figure skating program inthe world. The SSM figure skating program, whichbegan in 2006 under the direction of Diana Ronayne,had 20 skaters from seven countries competing in fournational championships and junior international eventslast year.

“We hope to draw students from Chicago,Minneapolis, Michigan, and California,” said Korn,who added that Finland, Sweden and Canada alsohave many synchronized skating programs. “We willhave to establish the team and have some success toattract skaters.”

She said SSM will compete in at least five events during the next season, which runs from Decemberuntil the national championship in March.

Figure Skating Club received

The team shot the best 9-hole score of the season—and inschool history—against Kenyon-Wanamingo at the Legacywith a 142. That’s a team score of 2-under par!

The team’s best 18-hole score was a 307 at the Legacy in a triangular meet with Faribault and Northfield.“Unfortunately,” said Coach Mike Frankenfield, “Faribault shot 295 to hand us our only loss of the season in dual meets.”

Other team highlights were a fifth-place finish (out of 19teams) at the SSM Harry O’Connor Invitational, a second-

place finish (out of eightteams) at the BethlehemAcademy Invitational, afourth-place finish (out of15 teams) at the StaplesInvitational, and a sixth-place finish (out of 23teams) at the NorthernInvitational, a two-dayevent at Giants Ridge.

Two seniors—Paul Parisot and Brian Harrison—playedtheir final matches forSSM this season.

“Harrison made his firsttrip to the Northern Invitational and lost more than a fewballs during his two days of play,” said Coach Frankenfield.“He would also tell you that it was a trip he’ll alwaysremember.

“We had a lot of young players out for golf again this season, and we will have a very strong team again nextseason. Unfortunately, the team that beat us at the sectiontournament, Fairmont, will lose only one player. Thiswill be Fairmont’s third consecutive trip to the Class AAtournament and the fourth trip in the past five years.We’ve got our work cut out for us next season.”

Wolf lost to the top two singles players fromRochester Lourdes High School in the very competitive Section 1A individuals tournament, whichincluded several of the top teamsin the state. A two-time state-tour-nament entrant, Wolf will attendCarleton College in the fall.

Thanks to one of the warmestAprils on record, the team wasable to get plenty of court timebefore its first match, against LakeCity, on April 15. SSM faced long-time rival Lake City threetimes during the season (twice during the regular seasonand once during the first round of the sectional team tour-nament) and lost each match, 4-3.

The team—33 boys ranging from beginning Middle Schoolplayers to several returning Upper School varsity players—was coached by Christian Bragnalo and assistants RichardKettering and John Groess.

Six players from the varsity squad will return for the 2011 season.

BOYS GOLFClay Curwin ’11 finished tied for 21st (39-37–76) andAnthony Brodeur ’13 tied for 39th (37-42–79) at the ClassAA State Golf Tournament, which was shortened to oneday by bad weather.

TRACKSSM track athletesjoined with BethlehemAcademy students toparticipate in areatrack meets.

“There were two typesof participants,” saidCoach Danika Bender,“the runners whocame every day andran to get into shape,and the actual track members who were interested in competition.”

Among the competitive athletes were:Patrick Kent ’11, the SSM captain, ran the 400, 800, and1600 meters. His 4x800 relay team broke severalBethlehem Academy school records.Tony Frankenfield ’11, 100, 4x100 relay and long jump.Erin Olson ’13, long jump, triple jump, 100 and 4x100 relay.Billy Park ’11, long jump, 200.Camille Biard ’11, 100, 4x100 relay, long jump, triple jump.

“The track meets had challenging weather conditions,” saidCoach Bender, “forcing the kids to compete in hail, thun-der showers and 93-degree heat. The kids ran pretty muchevery day. The only fun practice was the Dairy Queen runwhen the team ran to Dairy Queen, ate a bunch of icecream, and called the bus to drive us back.”

BASEBALLThe Faribault AcademyCardinals finished theregular season with a 9-9 record and lost theirfirst playoff game toMaple River, 6-2. SSMcontributed 11 players to the cooperative teamof SSM, BethlehemAcademy, and CannonValley Lutheran School.

“We were a very youngteam with five freshmen in the starting lineup most games,”said Coach Mike Carpentier, “and of the 16 kids on varsity,we had seven freshmen, two sophomores, one junior andsix seniors. We played great baseball throughout the monthof May. One key victory was when we beat Mankato Loyola15-9 on Senior Night. We had not beat Mankato Loyola in a

few years, and the pitcher they were throwing had only givenup three hits against us in his previous two starts. We werelosing, 9-2, going into the fourth inning, and we roughed himup for eight runs in the inning. We held on to win the game,led by home runs from three different seniors.”

It has not been an easy journey, and there most certainly have been moments

where we have longed for home. But in between these moments,

we have created friendships and memories that will undoubtedly last forever,

and as a senior in the graduating 2010 class, I can now say it was time well spent.

An excerpt from a speech given by Elizabeth Sears-Hager ’62at the 2010 Commencement.

After graduating from St. Mary’s Hall in 1962, Elizabeth Sears-Hager earned anundergraduate degree from Wellesley College and a master’s from the University of New Hampshire. She served as a Fellow at the Institute of Politics at the KennedySchool of Government at Harvard University. She is the executive director of theUnited Way of Merrimack County, NH. Previously, she served 13 terms in the New Hampshire Legislature and was the first female mayor of Concord, NH.

Here are the 12 suggestions she offered to the graduating class during her “text message” speech at the SSM Commencement on June 4, 2010:

1. You are great!

2. Take risks.

3. Volunteer. Even an hour a week.

4. Vote.

5. Don’t buy into the political anger and negativism happening today.

6. You are great but you didn’t get that way all by yourself. Appreciate your parents and grandparents and the amazing teachers and administrators at this beautiful school.

7. Cherish the environment.

8. Exercise, eat right and stay healthy.

9. Embrace learning.

10. Give to Shattuck-St. Mary’s. I mean it.

11. Attend to your spiritual side.

12. Laugh! Seriously—laughter is the best medicine for lots of ailments.

There they are—my dozen short messages. I envy the lives that are ahead ofyou. You will be able to share many more messages as you live those lives! Best wishes to all of you.

also get to share the interesting perspectivesof students whose different cultural back-grounds allow for a wider spectrum of indirect experiences. Outside of class, students work to improve their various talents and achieve their different goals inthe field and on the ice as both individualsand teams. Although we all came here at adifferent time in our careers, our terrific sociallife with roommates and friends in the dormcontinues as we learn how to live along with others. As a boarding school, SSM trulyoffers opportunities to mingle and share withothers who are all unique and different.

Today, we live in the age of accelerating tech-nology and complexity. With the advent ofthe Internet and 24-hour news, technology is quickly emerging in ways that make theworld smaller, more open, more visible, andless distant, and transform opportunities forlearning and communicating. In fact, allhuman beings cannot be separately classifiedas the citizens of each different country;rather, we are more and more becoming theglobal citizens of the entire world. Even thediversity at our school links us all into aninternational society. The magical thing aboutthis network is not just that it breaks downthe distance and makes everyone yourneighbor. It also dramatically increases thenumber of brilliant minds and the innovativeideas that we can have working together.

This becomes possible at Shattuck-St. Mary’sas we expand our ability and potential tochange the world and share our successes and

failures so that we learn from each other. With our different talents, we can not onlycontribute our ideas to make a better world,but also bring a revolution in what humanbeings can do for one another. If we considerwhat we have been fortunately given in talent,privilege, and opportunity, then there isalmost no limit to what the world expectsfrom us…

And so, before you leave through the beautifulWhitney Arch for one last time, I hope youunderstand what an amazing privilege it is togo to a school that can transform you into adifferent person not just through what youlearn here but also through the unforgettablememories and friendships you make here. It isup to you now to respect people’s differencesand offer much more knowledge to the worldbecause global citizenship is possible onlywhen we start to understand those in needand contribute what we know and have to theworld. And lastly, I hope you will come backto Shattuck-St. Mary’s 30 years from now andreflect on what you have done with all yourtalent and your energy, and be able to wear abig smile on your face.

itÄxw|vàÉÜ|tÇExcerpts from the Valedictory Address given by Seung Hee Shon ’10 on June 4, 2010

After spending a third of my life here, Shattuck-St. Mary’s School has become my second home.For an international student who always has totravel around half of the world to see her familyand friends, the decision to come to Americamarked the end of my Korean education andthe beginning of a remarkable journey of experi-encing a new language and culture. Adoptingmy second language was challenging enough,but the more difficult part came when I had to learn all different subjects in English and tryto adjust to a different style of teaching andlearning. In American classes, I could not justwrite down the notes or memorize the answersthat teachers provided to students. Instead, Ihad to be an active participant in class discus-sions in order to find out the answers and fullyunderstand the material. From doing laundry by myself to balancing my relationships withAmerican and international students, I learnednot only to be independent and responsible formy own actions and words, but also to appreci-ate the sacrifice my parents were making to provide me with the best education possible. In the end, these little moments of gaining newinsights helped me mature quickly enough toembrace such a life-changing opportunity.

But for me, the experience itself became muchmore exhilarating and challenging when I beganto love and embrace the diversity at our school.With students from 17 different countries and 39different states, we live in the midst of so muchenergy and intelligence. In classes, we encounternot only the fascinating academics of learningdifferent concepts, ideas, and formulas and theapplications of these in our real lives, but we

Shattuck-St. Mary’s School actors treatedaudiences to a classic piece of musical theater by putting on Hello, Dolly as the year’s musical.

“Many young people today are familiarwith Wicked, Rent, The Lion King … thenewer, more pop-musicals,” said RachelHaider, who directed the production. “But, the students found both the story andmusic for Hello, Dolly to be challenging,beautiful and fun.”

As in any play, the lead actor carries a largeburden in Hello, Dolly. “With the kindest,most unassuming personality, and standing

at only 5 ¼ inches, Seung Wan (Wendy)Shon ’13 may look like an unlikely DollyLevi,” remarked Haider. “But when Wendytook on this large, celebrated role, herunstoppable power, gorgeous singingvoice, and lovely charisma sent audiencesinto thunderous applause.”

Haider noted that Hello, Dolly was specifi-cally chosen because it has strong, excitingroles for, essentially, six principles. NelsonWolf ’10, on stage for the first time sincemiddle school, was Horace Vandegelder.Completing the cast were Waitin (Jacky)Kam ’11 as Barnaby Tucker, Sydney

Eberwein ’12 as Minnie Fay, Ben Westphal ’11as Cornelius Hackl, and Lauren Eberwein ’11as Irene Malloy. “Lauren and Ben are membersof our select Vocal Performance Program atSSM,” said Haider, “and special mentionshould also be given to Johanna Ruby ’12 inthe outlandishly funny role of Ernestina.”

The ensemble for any musical is essential,Haider added, and Hello, Dolly is no exception.At times, the 20-person ensemble donnedbeautiful turn-of-the-century dresses andsuits, and at other times, they became singing,dancing waiters, leaping and spinning theirway across the stage.

It’s a Fact: Rumors Pleases AgainShattuck-St. Mary’s spring comedy wasNeil Simon’s Rumors, an outrageous farcethat had been staged twice before at SSM,first in 1993 and again in 2003.

“The second night of the run, DallasMusselman pointed out an attractivewoman sitting several rows back and tothe right with a guy I guessed was herhusband,” said Director T McKinley. “As it turned out, she was Sara Huntley ’94,who had played Cookie, opposite TomBreuer ’93 as Ernie, in the 1993 productionof Rumors. She visited backstage after theshow to point out her name painted onthe wall with all the other past DramaticAssociation members, not 10 feet fromBrando himself. She told me she enjoyedthe show, which was quite a relief given the glorious past she was using for comparison.”

David Johnson ’12 had never had a rolelarger than supporting in a one-act play,and his Lenny was the biggest male part

in the script. Magdalena “Meggie”Muellerperth ’10, most at home behind a grand piano on stage at the SchubertChurch in Vienna, turned into Cassie, a scheming, sultry vamp. Playing Ernie’swife, Cookie, was Lauren Eberwein ’11,who would later win both the WagnerDramatics Award and be named Performerof the Year for 2010 by the Performingand Visual Arts Department. BenWestphal ’11 took the part of Ken andspent most of his time trying to matchwits with stubborn police officers playedby Kevin Draeger ’13 and Giselle Wei ’11.Zoie Reams ’10 in the role of Claireanchored the ensemble even though she,along with Lauren Eberwein and BenWestphal, was juggling play responsibili-ties with participation in Project Operacoordinated with the Minnesota OperaCompany.

“In the weeks before the play went up,two members of our cast suffered personallosses,” said McKinley. “The mother of

Adrianna Simonelli ’10 passed awayover spring break after a long illness,and the beloved grandmother of WillSteck ’12 passed away a week before the show was to open. The cast andcrew dedicated the run to Diane MarieNicastro and Catherine Currer Steck ingratitude for the gift of their daughterand grandson, respectively.”

The set and required sound effects pre-sented major logistical hurdles, accord-ing to McKinley. “Hans Olson had togive us five working doors on two levelson the Newhall stage, and even createda crawlspace from one side to the otherso that Martin Moen ’10, playing thecharacter Ernie Cusak, could cross onhands and knees in his tuxedo,” explainedthe director. “Nick Blackmer ’11 alsoassisted ably on the sound effects.”

Just ask the Parents’Association—we can helpyou with all that and more.

It’s the time of the year when wewonder, “What will the next schoolyear bring?” As board members ofyour Parents’ Association, we arealways wondering how we, the par-ents of Shattuck-St. Mary’s, mightpull together the next Fall FamilyWeekend, better than the year before.Yes, right now the PA board is alreadyworking to deliver a school-and-kids-centered weekend full of fun andexcitement. The PA is collectingunique and high-demand items forour group of auctions. If you’re won-dering about feedback on last year’sauction items, the executive board ofthe PA had the opportunity to speak

with several bid winners about theirsuper, positive experiences.

Steve and Suzanne Evans said thisabout the Switzerland trip auctionprize:

“Fortunati! an Italian toast, becamethe theme of our recent trip toLugano, Switzerland, staying asguests of Shattuck-St. Mary’s parentsLivianne and Frederico Haas in theirwonderful hotel, The Delfino. Wewere truly fortunate to enjoy theMediterranean climate, incrediblebeauty, wonderful local food andwine, and superlative hospitality with the Haases at their hotel.

“The trip itself, an impulse buy at ourfirst Fall Family Weekend auction lastOctober, was a treat for us on theoccasion of both our 50th birthdays

this year and was our first vacationwithout children in about 20 years.We flew from the U.S. into Rome,where we spent a few days seeingsome of the tourist sites available.From Rome, we took the fast trainfrom Rome to Milan, and thenchanged for the short ride to Lugano.

“Lugano, located in southernSwitzerland just 60 miles or so northof Milan, was a revelation. All of ourpreconceptions about Switzerland(harsh, cold mountains with year-round snow, and a diet consistingmostly of dairy products) proved falsein Lugano, the capital of the southernSwiss ‘canton’ (or state) of Ticino.Lake Lugano and the nearby andmore famous Lake Como both haveshoreline in both Switzerland andItaly, and the predominant language

and culture are Italian (though virtu-ally everyone speaks English remark-able well). Its steep hillsides down tothe lake boast Mediterranean archi-tecture, with churches and manyother buildings dating back 600-plusyears. Boats take tourists and localsfrom Lugano to a multitude of otherlakeside villages located short dis-tances by water but difficult to accessvia automobile. Nearby, the Po Rivervalley provides fabulous fresh fruit,vegetables, and local wine of veryhigh quality and Federico makeswonderful use of all of them in theDelfino restaurant. Lugano is a shop-ping destination for much of the sur-rounding region. It boasts lots ofhigh-end, spending opportunities.

“We spent four fabulous days, seeingmultiple lovely lakeside and hill villages within five miles of Lugano,eating gourmet meals at the Delfino,and walking through the lovely town,all interspersed with lots of espressos,panachees, and local wine. We enjoyedmost of all, though, the kind andgenerous hospitality of Livianne andFederico Haas in their beautiful hotelin Lugano, Switzerland.”

The highest bidder of the UpperSchool parking space, Kathy Lundberg,shared this about her yearlong, front-row parking spot at the Upper School:

“We could sum up our feelings on thefront parking spot by this situationthat actually happened. I was drivingto the Upper School and the lot wasfull. I had Hope’s grandma andgrandpa with me who cannot walkfar. I was able to pull right into ‘MySpot’ and Hope’s grandma gets a hugesmile on her face and says, ‘This isthe best!’ ”

Karen Rogan cheerfully added thisabout her winning bid:

“Last fall, I thought I would supportthe School and try to get a photogra-pher for Kathleen’s senior picture, so I bid on Katie O’Brien’s certificate inthe auction. It was a win-win situa-tion—the auction received a dona-tion, we got a great deal and a greatphotographer, and Katie got a loyalcustomer. Katie is a SSM graduate andwas a total pleasure to work with. Sheis friendly and personable and alsovery professional and creative. Sheknows the SSM campus and has lots

of ideas for locations and types of shots. We were very happy withKathleen’s senior pictures. I woulduse her again and would definitelyrecommend Katie for anyone in theFaribault area needing a professionalphotographer for senior pictures, a wedding, baby pictures, or reallyanything.

“The SSM auction is always such fun.Over our six years at SSM, I’ve had awonderful time thinking up things todonate, working at the auction andbidding on items during the auction.There is always such a great variety of

amazing donations and it’s great tobid on things you want, knowing that the money is going for a greatcause, plus you might get somethingreally cool.”

Today’s PA couldn’t have said it anybetter. From first-year parents to pastPA president, thanks so much foryour great stories … and continuedauction bids! Fall Family Weekendwill be full of great action: sportsactivities, figure skating events, townhall meetings, wine reception, silentand live auctions, and the 100 Clubraffle. The winner of the grand prizeat last year’s (our first) 100 Club rafflehas insisted on purchasing the first100 Club ticket at the upcoming SSMsummer reunion. Thank you, David!Be sure to put October 15-17 on yourcalendar and make a point of joiningyour SSM community for the week-end as we delight in the company ofour children and revel in the uniquebeauty of our campus. Come andenjoy a festive weekend: buildingfriendships, enjoying fine food, andcontinuing the legacy.

Her experiences at a Finnish work campon the Arctic Circle, clearing trees andboulders for farmland, and then back-packing around Europe are recounted inher latest book, When the Post War WorldWas New. Writing under the pen nameAlzina Stone Dale, she tells the story ofvolunteering with Quakers to rebuild awar-torn Europe. After her stint at thework camp ended, she and some collegefriends traveled through Western Europe

In an interview with the SwarthmoreCollege alumni magazine, Daleexplained that she was inspired towrite the book after attending herSwarthmore class’s 45th reunion.She said that she had detaileddiaries from the summer of 1952and letters home that her parentshad saved, but she also wanted toincorporate the memories of hertraveling companions. Whenthey shared their memories, let-ters, and photographs, she wentto work on When the Post WarWorld Was New.

“I found that the summer of1952 had been important tomany of [her classmates]—

teaching them what it meant to bean American and how to cope withstrange conditions,” Dale told themagazine. “When I saw how delight-ed our other classmates were with ourstories, I had a lightning-boltmoment—this could be a book!”

A freelance author, scholar and lectur-er, Dale has written biographies ofG.K. Chesterton and Dorothy L.Sayers. She also co-authored a seriesof mystery guidebooks based on fic-tional characters, such as Nero Wolfein New York and Lord Peter Wimseyin London.

True crime author Harry N. MacLean ’60 didn’tspend much time at Shattuck School. But theplace—and one special person—changed his life.

“I came as a new boy junior,” recalls MacLean,whose first book won the prestigious EdgarAward. “I had just gotten kicked out of an Easternprep school and labeled incorrigible. Shattuck wasmy last chance for a normal life and it worked outbeautifully.”

MacLean gives most of the credit to one person—Dean of Students Harold O’Connor—for helpinghim shift from screw-up to Honor Roll.

“He had this nickname, ‘Horrible Harry,’ ” saysMacLean, “but he had an innate understanding of what I was up to and how not to react to it. He called me in on the first day. He had a big fileabout me on his desk and he looked at me andsaid, ‘I don’t believe this is who you are.’

“About midway through my junior year, I kind ofmade this shift. I realized, ‘Hey, this guy believesin me.’ It was one of those pivotal moments, look-ing back. I went on to be on the Honor Roll. I e-mailed him a few years ago and told him what agreat influence he had on me. I don’t think he didanything special for me, either. I think that wasjust his normal way of behaving, like breathing.”

MacLean graduated from Lawrence University in Appleton, WI, in 1964 and magna cum laudefrom the University of Denver’s College of Law in 1967. He worked as a trial attorney for theSecurities and Exchange Commission inWashington, D.C., and then returned to Denverwhere he had a private practice and was anadjunct professor at the DU College of Law. Afterbeing a magistrate in the Denver juvenile court fortwo years, he became the First Assistant AttorneyGeneral for the Colorado Department of Law.During President Jimmy Carter’s administration,MacLean went back to Washington, D.C., to bethe General Counsel of the Peace Corps. In 1980,he returned to Denver, where he now lives, towork as an independent arbitrator and mediator.

“There was something unique at Shattuck,” hesays. “It was a very structured situation. Youdidn’t have a lot of discretion, but what wasgood is that Shattuck kept life fairly normal.Even the military wasn’t very oppressive. Beingthere forced you to start being more matureand taught you to be more responsible.”

Shattuck didn’t nurtureMacLean’s writingcareer, he says,noting that therewas “no creativewriting at Shattuckthen.” He remem-bers starting to thinkabout writing in college but says “lawschool stomps that outof you.”

After reading about themurder of Ken RexMcElroy in the small townof Skidmore, MO, MacLeandrove to northwest Missouri.He lived with a family inSkidmore while spending thenext four years researching thestory. His first book, In BroadDaylight, chronicles McElroy’s bullying, hismurder, and the ensuing cover-up. The bookwon an Edgar Award (named for Edgar AllenPoe) for mystery nonfiction from the MysteryWriters of America and was a New York Times bestseller for 12 weeks. It was made into a movie.

“I had never written anything before,” saysMacLean, “but I heard about this weird murderand I managed to go out there.

“I think I am proudest of the book itself butalso of the whole experience of writing it. Youhave to set it up, write it and then get it pub-lished, and everybody’s negative.”

His book, Once Upon A Time, is the story ofEileen Franklin, a California housewife whoserepressed memory of her father murdering herplaymate 20 years earlier led to her father’s

murder conviction.Once Upon A Timewas selected as aNotable Book of

1993 by the New York Times.His most recent book, The Past Is Never

Dead, is about the January 2007 arrest andsubsequent trial of James Ford Seale for thekidnapping and murder of two black youthsin 1964. The book has been nominated forthe fourth William Saroyan International Prizefor Writing, awarded by Stanford UniversityLibraries to honor the Saroyan literary legacyof originality, vitality and stylistic innovation.

Now, MacLean is working on a book aboutthe year he lived in Dover, DE, working as apostal truck driver and a prison guard at amaximum security prison. He hopes the bookwill be available in the next year or so.

“This book turned into kind of a memoir,”says MacLean. “This is the only memoir thatI’ll do. After this one, I’d like to try writing different and new styles. I’ll be working andwriting until I can no longer do it. That’s mygoal, anyway, to keep on writing.”

Inspired by the Aesthetics

American landscape artist Stapleton Kearns ’68had a brief, and not very impressive, academiccareer at Shattuck School. But the beauty ofthe place left an impression.

“It was so long ago that I remember onlyflashes and little vignettes of my time atShattuck,” says Kearns. “I recall things likemarching on the playground with the bandplaying John Philips Souza tunes and eatingin the refectory while filling glasses for theupperclassmen from the foot of the table. Iremember the smell of the steam in the tailorshop as the big mangle hissed a press into theblue woolen uniforms and the clock towerschiming the hours. All of the dark woodworkand the terrazzo floors still seem as lovely tome now as they did then. Everything is somuch about aesthetics to me that I remembermostly that which I found beautiful.

“Shattuck was, and is, beautiful.”

Kearns is a plein air painter. Painting en pleinair means to paint outdoors, in the open air,a mode popularized by such greats as JohnSinger Sargent, William Wendt and ChildeHassam. Kearns’ work appears in art maga-zines and in galleries across the United States.

“There were no art classes at Shattuck inthose days and I don’t remember beingencouraged or discouraged in any way,”recalls Kearns. “There was art club, whichwas held in a room that is now a part of thechain of rooms that is used by the art depart-ment. I remember sitting at a table there anddrawing, but I don’t know how often thatwas. Our schedule was so full that there waslittle unscheduled time for art or much else.”

A native of Rochester, MN, Kearns attendedShattuck for two years. “I wasn’t sent toShattuck—I jumped at the chance,” he says.“I was happy at Shattuck and I liked the mili-tary routine. I was good at it. I am grateful forthe discipline it gave me as I was to need itlater. I left after my sophomore year andreturned briefly to public school, and then Ileft high school early to more fully participatein the 1960s. I guess I degenerated into agreat story. Shattuck didn’t let me down.Shattuck served me well, very well.”

After several years of art school, Kearnsmoved to Boston where he trained in the

studio of R.H. Ives Gammell, who himself hadstudied with American impressionist painterWilliam Paxton.

“Gammell was born in 1889 and mentored asmall group of students in the historic Fenwaystudios,” says Kearns. “The place reeked ofhistory and was where many of the Americanimpressionist painters had their studios. Thedown-at-the-heels yet still elegant architectureof Boston appealed to me. It is still a placewhere art and culture is highly valued. As Ihave spent my life developing my career here,I am pretty well locked into it and it seemslike home to me more than Minnesota. Isometimes forget I am not actually a Yankee.”

Kearns now lives in Derry, NH, and belongsto the Guild of Boston Artists and the NewEngland Plein Air Painters. He is a formerpresident of the Rockport (NH) ArtAssociation. Paintings of his have been included in two of the biannual shows at the National Academy of Design in New York City. He also writes an art tutorial blog(http://stapletonkearns.blogspot.com/) withsome 15,000 readers.

“I suppose I am proudest of having been able to survive and sometimes prosper as apainter,” says Kearns. “I have lived by my artalone, though it was very thin when I was inmy 20s and early 30s. I have sold close to2,000 paintings and have been a fixture in theNew England landscape painting scene formany years, and I value that because I set outto do that and feel I have achieved that goal.My paintings sell for pretty serious moneynow and that represents a lifetime of veryhard study and production.

“My future plans are the same as always. Iwant to paint good pictures and get paid well to do it. Being a painter is a big job andrequires incessant work. My schedule is veryfull and I travel a lot to put together shows ofmy art. I teach some workshops. Since I havemore equipment than is convenient to flywith, I drive all over the country. I enjoy that alot. This year I have been in Vermont, Maine,South Carolina, Montana, Mississippi andMinnesota, and lots of motel rooms inbetween.”

Kearns says that despite the beauty of theSchool and the positive feeling it evokes in

him, he has not felt the need to remain incontact with former teachers or classmates.

“That part of my life seems like a movie Isaw once,” says Kearns. “I was a terrible student and, looking back, I think I musthave had learning or concentration problems.I suspect that today it would have beensomething that educators would know howto deal with but then I was thought of as aproblem. Maybe I was, although I don’tremember getting into much trouble withthe dean.”

When Head of School Nick Stoneman visitedKearns and asked him to be an artist in residence at Shattuck-St. Mary’s last spring,the artist eagerly accepted the invitation.

“After my lackluster career at Shattuck, itwas nice to come back and show that I hadcome to something,” says Kearns. “I jokedupon my return that I was back as a failureof institutional memory. It was necessary foreveryone who remembered me to either dieor retire for me to be invited back.

“I really enjoyed setting up my easel at thecrossroads of the hallways near the refectoryand painting with my enormous tripodeasel set up so no one could possibly miss me. That felt like a triumph.”

Stapleton Kearns ’68 returned to the SSMcampus this spring as part of the artist inresidence program.

SSM Alum on PBS SeriesFaribault native Mallory Peper ’02 is a wind expert and she plays one on TV.

In an episode of a new Public Broadcasting System series, sheplays a geographic information systems (GIS) specialist—whichshe actually is, at Westwood Professional Services, a land andenergy development consulting firm where Peper maps andanalyzes wind, solar and transmission projects.

The PBS series, “SciGirls,” aims to get girls more involved in science, technology,engineering and math—STEM studies. In each episode, a group of middle school girls explores topics, such as the environment, technology, engineering and nutrition.

In an episode about wind energy, the four girls study the technology behind giant windfarms and then design and build their own miniature wind farm. To learn more abouthow real wind farms work, they consult with Peper and visit two actualwind farms.

“I was absolutely thrilled by the opportunity to teach young girls aboutthe opportunities in wind energy,” Peper told The Faribault DailyNews. “I’m so excited to be a part of it.”

Peper’s part was filmed last summer and took about three days to complete. The episode originally aired on Twin Cities PublicTelevision. It’s now available on the SciGirls website,www.pbskids.org/scigirls. Five of the first 12 episodes werefilmed in Minnesota, and other episodes are set in the FloridaKeys, New York City, California and Utah.

Peper earned a bachelor’s degree in hydrology at St. Cloud Statewith a GIS minor. She has been a GIS Specialist at Westwood since 2007.In addition, she is working toward a master’s degree in GIS and project management at St. Mary’s University.

Top left, Caroline Wright Eells, SMHprincipal from 1896-1916, and, above,the Eells window quoting Shakespeare:“Beauty, truth and rarity, Grace in allsimplicity.” The circled area in the Eellswindow indicates where the vice of disgrace is symbolized by the fall ofAdam and Eve. At left are the panelsthat depict cowardice, middle, and disloyalty, bottom. These panels arelocated in similar areas of other windows in the chapel.

Religion was central to the idea of St. Mary’s Hallfrom the beginning, but in neither BishopWhipple’sfirst house downtown nor the School’s secondbuilding, the “Castle” up on the bluff, was achapel provided: daily services were conducted inthe study hall. After the great fire of 1924, plansfor the new St. Mary’s did include a chapel, butfunds were limited. Some felt that construction ofthe chapel should be delayed, while othersfeared that if that happened it might never be built. So a chapel was included but in asimplified version. Its windows, for example,were plain amber glass rather than stained glass.

But with the first proposal for a memorial window, a new plan developed: each windowshould represent a virtue but also include itsopposite. Fortitude, for example, would berepresented by Joan ofArc—a fine choice; butCowardice would alsobe shown in a smallpanel—as a man flee-ing, not from somefierce wild beast butfrom a rabbit! Likewisewith Faith: its antithesis, Disloyalty, would takethe form of another runaway—a monk who,despite solemn vows, drops thecross as he deserts his monastery.Most of the “bad guys” (not all)turned out to be men! But sadly,not every window followed thispattern of virtues and vices, and as a result, some interesting possi-bilities for satire in the service ofreligion were lost.

That, however, has little to do with the window that intrigues me most: it’s one of a pair com-memorating Caroline Wright Eells,principal of SMH from 1896 to 1916. In this window, the virtue of Grace is personified byHilda of Whitby, a seventh century abbess ofnorthern England. Hilda, I’ve read, was a powerfulwoman—more powerful than some bishops: evenkings sought her advice. In one statue I’ve seen,Hilda holds something like a bishop’s staff, as wellas a model of her famous convent; but in this win-dow, she holds the SMH chapel. (Indeed, MissEells, as a condition of coming here, insisted thata room be fitted up as a proper place for dailyprayers, and so it was.) Also, incidentally, BishopEdsall affectionately referred to her as “the LittleBishop of St. Mary’s.” It all fits together: Miss Eells

was a strong yet gracious leader, a wisecounselor—and greatly beloved. Thememorial, says the inscription, was the gift of “her girls.”

Times change, of course. Middle Schoolerswho use it today may not realize this, butfor many of the Saints, there’s still some-thing quite special about “their” chapel atSMH. And I can hear those Daughterssinging yet, “Loyalty’s treasure, Love in full measure… .”

Engineer’s HouseONE LAST GIFT

The Engineer’s House has provided a warm and cozy home to many campusfamilies over the years. The final chapter for this dwelling was determined as theplans to build Fayfield Hall progressed: The house had to come down to makeroom for the new facility. While many on campus were sad to say good-bye tothis sweet little home, it was heartwarming to know it made a final contributionbefore its demolition. This spring, the Faribault city fire department used thestructure for a staged fire-and-rescue training operation. Appropriately, theEngineer’s House provided a place for learning and education during its finaldays on campus.
