Endings ... and Beginnings

Thursday, June 7, 2001 , was a great day in the life of The Steward School. The Lower and Middle Schools held their final assemblies early in the day, and the Upper School commencement exercises took place that evening . The weather for these events was nearly flawless, allowing students , parents , and guests to enjoy post-ceremony activities beneath the tent on the grounds outside.

But the real treat was to experi­ence these events inside the new Athletic Center for the first time. The Upper School commencement is , of course , the CUlmination of the Steward experience, and that evening was notable beyond the location. The ceremony marked the graduation of 39 seniors, the largest

graduating class in the history of the School. Depending on one's perspec­tive, th is can also be seen as the fi rst graduating class of the new millennium. It was an evening of great warmth and humor. We saw the acknowledgement of extraordinary talent in academics, athletics, the arts, and school service. It was an evening during which the spotlight was shared by a Jefferson Scholar and by a young man who nearly dropped out of school three years ago. The evening was char­acterized by the success stories of a young woman who is profoundly deaf and a young man with spina bifida . It was an evening during which exceptional camaraderie was manifest among the graduates. It was an evening of celebration and accomplishment for two international students from Switzerland and Indonesia. And , it was an occasion at which the Headmaster was publicly, and for all time , given a new title. (If you don't know what I'm talking about, just ask someone who attended the ceremony! ) The diversity of Steward was dramati­cally apparent. What an ending!

Now there wil l be a new beginning. Projections indicate that enrollment will grow for yet another year. The administra­tive struc­ture and organiza­tion will

Palle 2

reflect change as Carolyn Brandt assumes the responsibilities of the assistant head of school and Butch Keller becomes the head of Upper School. Beginnings will include expansion of the academic curricu­lum, athletic offerings, and courses in the arts, and the addition of several new faculty members. Along with our sisterhood relation­ship with the Riverston School in London, we will establish a similar connection with a school in Puerto Rico. We will have the largest contingent of international students in the history of the School begin­ning th is fall. We will begin to see the completion of two extraordinary buildings in the center of our cam­pus- the Library/Administration Building and the Paul R. Cramer Center for the Arts , projected to be completed in April and July, 2002, respectively. And , finally. the next academic year will mark the end of the third decade of Steward's existence. for which a celebration will take place in the fall of 2002-and then we'll begin another de­cade.

Well , that's all pretty impressive ... and it's clear why Steward , "a place to excel ," is really "going places."

Graduation 2001 This year's graduation was an

event not likely to be forgotten­especially by Steward's Class of 2001 and their friends and family members. As Senior Class Presi­dent Ted Benson pointed out in his welcoming speech , this class was the largest class to graduate from Steward , and they were the first class to do so in the beautiful new Athletic Complex. Ted welcomed friends , fa mi ly, students, and faculty, after junior marshals Jenni­fer Gray and Laura Weisiger led the processional into the multi­purpose gym. The invocation was then given by Rabbi Gary Credi­tor, father of rising senior Tzeira Creditor.

Chosen by their class as com­mencement speakers, Harry Baron and Michelle Whitaker gave wonderfully inSightful and entertain­ing presentations as they reflected on their class' experiences at Steward. Michelle urged her fellow classmates to never lose sight of their dreams and aspirations, whi le Harry mentioned many of the "inside jokes" his class has shared over the years as he asked them to remain close in the future.

Headmaster Roger Coulombe recognized retiring board members Dr. Mavis Brown, Alan McCollough, and Sally Newcomb for their contributions to the School. Mr. Coulombe also recognized graduating "li fers," who attended Steward since kindergarten : Alex Duty, Ashlee Healey, Jamie Reed, and John Stinson.

The Department Book Awards, recognizing excellence in the various disciplines, were then presented to the following students: Art, Cynthia Johns; History, Jason Anderson; English, Jocelyn Sandberg; Fine Arts, Christine Beil ; French, Sally Gottwald; Latin , Philip Gianfortoni ; Math, Alex

Duty; Music, Allison Strickland; Physical Education, Nick Lauher; Science, Ted Benson; Spanish, Jocelyn Sandberg ; Theatre, Ellis Harman.

Mr. Coulombe announced the creation of the Student Council Association Award , which will be presented annually to those seniors who have served on the Student Council Association of The Steward School , organizing, encouraging and supporting school activities in order to maintain high standards of cooperation , loyalty, and school spirit. This year's recipients were Harry Baron, Ted Benson , Corbin Brierre, and Brantley Scott.

The James V. Buis Athletic Scholarship Award , given by the Buis family in memory of the Steward alumnus, was given to rising junior Jennifer Gray.

Seniors Jason Anderson, Cynthia Johns, and Will Perkins were recognized for their service to the Honor Council . Jason and Will were also recognized for their dedication to their roles as prefects along with Ted Benson, Corbin Brierre, Alex Duty, and Sally Gottwald .

The University of Rich­mond Book Award , pre­sented annually to the junior who has demonstrated excellence in academics, was given to Lorraine Hawes. Laura Weisiger received the University of Virginia Book Award , which is given each year to the junior who best represents Thomas Jefferson's con­cepts o f schola rs hip , leader­

ship, and citizenship.

This year 's recipients of the President's Award for Educational Excellence were Jason Anderson , Ted Benson , Corbin Brierre ,

Jocelyn Sandberg. The purpose of this award is to recognize academic success in the classroom; to be eligible , students must have met certain academic standards earning a grade point average of a 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale.

The Academic Award , given to those members of the senior class who have earned a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 or higher in at least twenty-one core subjects, was presented to Jason Anderson , Ted Benson , Corbin Brierre, Sally Gottwald, and Jocelyn Sandberg.

Neal Burns and Marshall Felvey were presented wi th the President's Award for Education Achievement, which recognizes students who work hard and give their best effort in school, often in the face of special obstacles to their learning.

Corbin Brierre received the Faculty Award , which is given to the senior who best exemplifies the qual ities of character, integrity, and responsibility.

The Alumni Award , given to the senior who best demonstrates the school spirit and commitment essential to the continued success of The Steward School , was pre­sented to Ashlee Healey by retiring Alumni Association Presi­dent Peyton Jones '94. The first annual Distinguished Young Alumni Gift was presented to Caitlin Rossmoore for her outstanding service to the community.

The Stephen Daniel Pless Award , which is presented each year to the member of the senior class who best exemplifies the spirit and perseverance demonstrated by former student Stephen Daniel Pless during his years at Steward before his untimely death, was awarded to John Stinson .

The Dixon Award , named for Steward 's founder Helen Dixon and given annua lly to the member of the senior class who has made out­standing contributions to all phases of life at the School , was presented to Ted Benson .

This year marked the first annual presentation of the Col­legium Prize , founded by Steward board member and alumni parent Bill Waddell. This prize is awarded to a student and faculty member who have collaborated on a project to which both have made substan-

Page 4

tive intellec­tual contribu­tions , pursuing the project for love and apprecia­tion of the creative process. Graduat­ing senior Ted Benson and Director

of Technology Lisa Heaton received this prize for their creation of Sparta Net, an intranet system designed to simplify basic daily tasks for Steward's faculty and students.

The Headmaster's Award is presented by the headmaster to the member of the senior class who has been the "unsung hero," contributing to the life of the School with enthusi­asm, energy, and spirit. This year the award was given to an unprec­edented four seniors- Harry Baron, Will Perkins, Brantley Scott, and Chris Stanley.

Mr. Coulombe then called the names of the graduating seniors as they advanced to receive their diplomas, and current and past

board members had the special opportunity to present their own sons and daughters with their degrees. After the diplomas were presented , the Upper School Chorus sang the Alma Mater under the direction of music teacher Bonnie Anderson .

A beautiful tent reception fol ­lowed the graduation ceremony. Family, friends , students , and faculty helped the Class of 2001 celebrate this fantastic occasion.

Senior room mothers Nancy Gottwald and Lee Healey put on quite a party after the graduation ceremony. Just over half of the graduates changed clothes after graduation and met at the School at 11 :00 p.m. for a night of fun . Sev­eral parents helped drive everyone out to a Gottwald family cabin in Goochland, where alumni Matt Gottwald '99 and Rusty Perkins '99 grilled burgers on a large patio overlooking the lake. Former Steward teacher Jonathan Coulombe also attended the party as a surprise chaperone.

A large bonfire blazed in the front yard as Evan Weiner kept the music nowing until all hours of the ni9ht. Mall and Rusty took a few graduates fishing on the lake as well . At 4:00 a.m., the caravan of vehicles departed for an early morning breakfast at the Main Street Diner. After enjoying break­fast (and watching the sun rise in the process) , everyone returned to the School to begin their new lives as Steward alumni!

Steward's Baccalaureate was held at the Gayton Kirk Presbyte­rian Church on Sunday, June 3, 2001 . Junior Marshals Jennifer Gray and Laura Weisiger led the procession of seniors into the sanctuary. As senior class sponsor, Todd Serr greeted the audience of students, parents, relatives, faculty, and administrators who filled the sanctuary to overflowing. Seniors Molly Sauer and Carly Vilas presented verses of scripture , after

decisions. Though these decisions may be difficult and unpopular, and may result in personal criticism, if one stands for what he or she believes is right, the decision will have been the correct one.

Ed Rossmore, former head of the Lower School and father of senior Caitlin Rossmoore, spoke on what it means to be a steward , and charged the seniors to love God and to always serve others.

After the benediction by the Reverend Richard Brand , the seniors recessed to a solo sung by rising senior Lorraine Hawes , and they then headed to the Country Club of Virginia for a celebratory dinner given in their honor.

The Post-Prom Panv: A New Tradition RollIn RlckBns, 2- SradB TBaChBf

On May 20, 2001, my alarm clock woke me at 2:00 a.m. I dragged myself from bed and drove on deserted streets to The Steward School. My destination on this quiet night was the new Athletic Center, where the first Steward School Post-Prom Party was being held . I parked my car and ap­proached the gym, rubbing my eyes to get the sleep out of them.

wondered if I would find crowds of sleepy teenagers dozing in their formal wear. The walkway to the gym was lined with burning tiki torches and music drifted through the open doors. As I entered the lobby, I was stunned to see a crowd of wide-awake teenagers , laughing and shouting. A game was under­way. Six boys stood at a table burying their faces in pie pans of whipped cream . Teammates stood around each boy shouting encour­agement, jumping up and down wi th excitement. This exuberant throng of teens was not what I had ex­pected .

It was clear from the well ­organized events, activi ties , food , and music that much planning went into making this party a success. A committee of eight parents, headed by Barbara Bloom, started working on the plans in January. From the beginning the idea was to provide a safe but fun post-prom party for all the people who attended the prom. Barbara and other committee members Cindy Grissom, Dick Shea , Ed and Laura Rossmoore , Connie Martenstein , Leslie Baron , and Liz Weisiger spent months working closely with the administration , maintenance crew, athletic department, and Parents' Association to ensure that the evening would run smoothly.

The theme of the evening was "Survivor Challenge 2001 ." As the students arrived, they turned over their car keys and were assigned to a Survivor Team. The sixty-two students who attended were divided into six teams. Team challenges were scheduled every hour, on the hour. Teams racked up points for being the first to complete a wacky relay, being the first to eat their way through a whipped cream pie and blow a bubble with bubble gum hidden at the bottom, identifying songs or sketches created by their teammates, and shooting the most baskets while attached to the bungee run . A tug-of-war tie­breaker was needed at the end and

the winning team members each walked away with fifty dollars in cash .

Door prizes were given away throughout the evening. Some of the donors for certificates, tickets, and gift cards were Ruby Tuesday, Starbucks, Mio's, Dairy Queen, Applebee's, AT&T, and Circuit City.

Throughout the evening stu­dents listened to music on the Athle tic Center's state of the art sound system. The CD's were on loan for the evening from Evan Weiner 's extensive OJ collection. Also on loan were Evan's air hockey table and Parke Smith's air hockey and Foosball tables. At one point the students were treated to live music presented by Tom Somerville and his friend Chelsea. Two moon bounces, two bungee runs, and a gladiator joust, provided by Austin 's, kept everyone jumping. It was not unusual to see a teacher standing up to a challenge from one of the stu­dents. Psychic Rappin' Raymond gave private readings under a tent and Memories Photography took pictures and framed them on key chains . While all this took place in the multi-purpose room, Peak Experiences operated their climbing wa ll outside the gym. A group of eight parents had spent an evening

learning how to belay climbers so they would be ready to help out with this activity.

The Athletic Center snack bar was open throughout the night offering as much soda, pizza, cookies, brownies, and popcorn as the students could eat. At 5:00 a.m., the students gathered up their belong­ings and headed for the Dining Commons. There they enjoyed Belgian (onle,lan!' mUll I.nod. eJch olher ofl Ihe plal/orm In Ihe

bagels and fiavored cream cheeses heard over and over as the from Chesapeake Bagel Bakery, partygoers left. Committee chair-eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, orange man Barbara Bloom commented, "If juice, coffee , and hot chocolate . someone asked me to do it again I'd During breakfast the grand door do it in a minute. It was more work prizes were drawn. Students and than I ever imagined , but the guests won a TV-VCR, a $100 gift rewards were tremendous. The certificate to Regency Square, a kids made it all worthwhile." $50 gas card , diamond stud ear­rings, a gold necklace, and a Sony Walkman CD player.

At six o'clock when the students finally left for home, a small group of parents stayed another two hours to clean the gym and the Dining Commons so everything would be back to normal for Mon­day morning. I don't know how many man-hours were spent on this

special night but it was well worth it. The students who attended gave rave reviews for Steward's first post­prom

As the sun rose over the palm trees in the Athletic Center lobby­turned-tiki hut, I found myself in awe of the fact that nearly forty-five parents and teachers had come to th is gym in the middle of the night to help out and make it a party to remember. Another large group had supported the party financially and the Parents' Association had donated $1000. It reinforced the feelings I have had many times during my long association with Steward: this is a unique and special place. The children here are supported by parents and teachers who care deeply about them. These adults are willi ng to roll up their sleeves and do what it takes to see their children safe and happy, even if it means staying up all night and then vacuuming the entire gym the next morning. A huge thank you goes out to all those parents involved in making Steward's first post-prom party such a wonderful experience and for setting the stage for a new tradition.

Public Speaking: "The Men in Mv life" B, Bra"tle, Scolt. lP Brade

For the final exam for public speaking. each student must present a speech during Upper School assembly The following was senior Brantley Scott s final speech:

Do any of you have brothers? You may know, or may not know, that I have not one, not two, but three brothers. My brothers are three men who have been important in my life and probably will be forever. Perhaps you know my brothers, or have run into them at my house, or have just heard one of the many stories about them around town. I have three brothers: K.P., Hunter, and Holland. They are all very different, much like the relationship I have with each one. Today I wou ld like to tell you about the brother who protects me, the brother who taunted me, and the brother who would do anything for me.

First, K.P., is the protector. K.P. stands for Kenneth Pleasant. He is my eldest brother. He turned 22 last August and will graduate from VMI this year. K.P. is a little more than four years older than I. One might think that with such an age gap we could not be close, and they're right. He is by far my most protective brother. He is always questioning my parents on how I am doing in school and where I am going to school next year. K.P. wanted so badly for me to go to an all-girls school that he even got a girl he went to high school with to call me at home and entice me to look at an all-girls college. K.P. has always questioned me: "Who is that boy calling?" or ..

Where does he go to school?" or "00 I know him?" I suppose that it is nice to have someone who looks out for me, but the annoying factor simply outweighs the other.

Page 8

On to my next brother. Hunter is the one who always used to taunt me. Hunter recently turned the big 21 , but I still remember when he used to take my Ken doll and bite the head off, insisting it was the work of a grenade. I stil l do not think that I have fully recovered from this type of incident. Hunter and I are 19 months apart, and we are probably the most alike of the four children . Hunter and I both have a strange fascination with the Mafia , and we would rather eat dirt than miss a Sunday night of The Sopranos. We both also have the dream that we will grow up and

Sranlf~) StOll at gradual/Oil

meet the loves of our lives, who will , of course , be bi llionaires. And we are both pretty bad in math . I think Hunter and I get along the best because I feel most comfortable around him. He is one of the funniest people I know, with his dry sense of humor.

Finally, Holland is the one who would do anything for me. He is also the one who causes my mom to say, "If he had been the first , he would have been the last." Many of you might know my brother for a few reasons- he might owe you money, he may have made you cry, or maybe you have seen him getting in trouble somewhere around the metropolitan area. Or,

quite possibly, he is one of your friends . But most likely, you have heard about him from one of his many famous stories. One thing my brothers and I laugh about more than any1hing else is that it is very rare for us to go somewhere and not be asked , "Is Holland your brother?" Some people even ask, "Is it true that Holland once stuck a hose through your neighbors' door and turned it on for two days, all because they were mean to him?" And I usually reply, "No, I don't know him: But in all seriousness, most of you don 't know the Holland I grew up with , a boy who would do any-

thing just so I wouldn 't cry ... 1 once broke my mother's favorite crystal vase in a game of "Kick Each Other Off the Couch," and Holland told my mom he was the one who did it. He got backyard probation for two days. I love Holland and I know he would do any1hing for me.

All of my brothers are very important in my life, and I can 't imagine my life without them. Even though K.P. watches me like a hawk, and Hunter taunted me when I was young, and Holland creates awk­ward situations around town , I love them all. And when people say to me, "Oh, you have three brothers, you poor girl!", I think to myself, "No, I am actually pretty lucky."

The morning of June 7, 2001 , was a special one for Steward 's eighth graders as they were hon­ored at the Middle School final assembly. After teacher Chip Chapman gave the invocation, Headmaster Roger Coulombe welcomed students, teachers , parents, and guests. The eighth grade class officers, Chris Harvey and Katie Perkins, then said a few words to the audience.

Middle School Head Mike Maruca presented certificates to the students who had earned honor roll status during the year. He then presented certificates to the stu­dents on the Headmaster's List (students who received no grade lower than a B-, coupled with an overall grade point average of at least 3.75) : Hunter Berlinguet, Brittney Bertozzi , Philip Gianfortoni , Leigh Greene, Nathan Jamerson , Rachael Meyers, Noah Schnoll , and Jessica Williamson. For the second year in a row, an engraved plaque was presented to Philip Gianfortoni for main­taining the highest academic average in the Middle School.

On Tuesday, May 22, 2001 , scores of model rockets were launched from the athletic fields in quick succession by eighth grade students. The launchings provided the culminating event for teachers Kendall Malone and Amy Fletcher's science project, which required each of the students to build and decorate a miniature rocket. The students chose be­tween several basic designs, including the bu lky "Jumbo" rocket and the tiny "Mosquito" model.

Not only were the Middle School students and faculty treated to a variety of rocket models, but they also witnessed varied blast-offs and

flight trajectories, as some of the rockets soared high into the air, disappearing into the white backdrop of the clouds. Other flights were of shorter duration and reached far less altitude.

Noisy cheers or quiet sighs of disappointment accompanied each rocket lift off. Those students whose crafts went highest in the air got the loudest cheers, but there

were also loud shouts for those whose space modules plummeted heavily earthward after their para­chutes malfunctioned!

It was a great experience for the eighth graders, who learned a lot about the dynamics of fl ight, and it was a source of eager anticipation for the sixth and seventh graders as they began to fantasize about future rocket designs of their own!

Honor Svmposium MockTrial Thomas Neuschul, 8th Brade

On Thursday, May 24, 2001 , the seventh and eighth grade Honor Symposiums performed a mock trial at the University of Richmond Law School. This was the fourth year the symposium students have conducted a trial.

The students, under the direction of teachers Louise Robertson and Donna Jackson, hoped to learn more about how the legal system works by holding a mock trial based on a fictitious crime. The trial took place in an authentic courtroom before a certified judge. It began at 9:00 a.m. wi th opening statements from the opposing attorneys.

The prosecutors. represented by student lawyers Thomas Neuschul. Lauren Costello , and John Gannon. began by reading their opening statement. The student defense lawyers, played by Kat ie Damon and Bradley DeWet, followed with their own opening remarks. In these statements the student attorneys outlined the basics of the trial. The defendant, John Diamond, whose part was played by Carter Shamburger, had been indicted on first-degree murder charges for the shooting death of the victim, Trudi Doyle.

During direct examination each side called witnesses. The student

lawyers questioned imaginary eyewitnesses who saw the murder, forensics experts who worked at the city morgue, and gun experts who examined the murder weapon. The crucial cross-examination of these wi tnesses by the opposing student lawyers followed the testimonies. Students Kara Johnson and Katie·Beth Kurilecz took the roles of the defense witnesses, while Harper Early , Jessica Powell , Michael Reese, and Ryan DeLaney assumed those of the prosecu tion.

The prosecution and defense each presented closing statements to wind up the trial. The jury re­turned a verdict of guilty but re­duced the charge to voluntary manslaughter. Most of the students considered the outcome a "tie." All involved said the mock trial and the preparation for it were hard work. but they had a lot of fun going through the process.

Fihh Grade Looks to Middle School: Lower School Final Assemblv

Lower School students joined in the celebrations of June 7, 2001 , with their own final assembly, as the fifth graders graduated and looked forward to joining the Middle School this fall. After Lower School Head Debbie Hanger greeted the students, families, faculty, and guests, Student Council President Kitty Ball reflected on her experi­ences as a student in Steward 's Lower School. Kitty and the follow­ing Student Council members were then recognized with certificates by sponsor Beverley Fox: William Shimer, Vice President; Amy Bisger, Secretary; Jackie Moncure, Treasurer; and Repre­sentatives Alex Dufour, Christine Kasper, Laura Skove, and Sara Small.

Fifth grader Patrick McKeown introduced speaker Marion Chenault, a member of Steward 's Board of Trustees and an alumni parent. After Mrs. Chenault 's presentation , the fifth grade per­formed the musical selection "We Are the Children of Tomorrow,"

which included solos from Polly Cannella , Margaret Gupton , Beth Dixon, and Laura Skove .

Certifi­cates of excellence were then presented for the various aspects of the Lower School includ­ing :

Computer: Patrick McKeown and John Reazin ; Sportsmanship: Amy Bisger, Polly Cannella , and Stuart Smith; Athletics: Cary Baronian, Stephen Gianfortoni , Dana Powell , Ben Sauer, and Coleman Smith ; Music: Laura Skove; Art: Cary Baronian, Page Conway, Emily Dameron , and Josh Stafford ; Theatre : Sara Small ; and French: Kitty Ball and Carl Dageforde.

Mrs. Hanger then presented certificates to students in each grade level for their oratorical accomplishments. Spartan Patrol members received certificates, as did those students in each grade level who completed the year with the best record of punctuality.

Fifth grade teachers Kerry Blum and Beverley Fox then presented the President's Academic Excellence Award to those fifth graders who earned a grade point average of 3.5 or higher with high motivation , initiative, integrity, intellectual depth , and leadership qualities. Recipients are also required to be in the 85'" percentile or higher in standardized testing in math and to have been recom­mended for exceptional judgment by someone other than their class­room teacher. This year's recipi­ents of the President's Academic Excellence Award were Cary Baronian , Laura Skove, and Sara Small.

Mrs. Blum and Mrs. Fox also presented the President's Award for Education Achievement, which recognizes students who work hard and give their best effort in school , demonstrating an unusual commit­ment to learning and maintaining an Honor Roll status each quarter. These students must receive high

scores in standardized testing or show outstanding growth, improve­ment, or intellectual development in English, math, science, and/or history. This year's recipients of the award were Amy Bisger, Caleb Brown, Margaret Gupton, Patrick McKeown, and Jackie Moncure .

Citizenship Awards were then presented to Cary Baronian and Anne-Sims Honey. Headmaster Roger Coulombe gave the Lower School Award to Laura Skove, who, in the opinion of the faculty, best exemplifies extraordinary effort, cooperation , and school spirit.

This year 's production took place in the heart of the African jungle with all of the animals assist­ing a little lost lemur in finding her mommy. The lemur was played with great confidence and poise by kindergartner Kendall Huennekens. The fifth grade

cast , which included Patrick McKeown as Harry the Hyena and Anna Greenlee as Grandma Gorilla , were instru­mental in accomplishing the lemurs' reunion .

The Lower School students performed twelve musical selec­tions which reinforced the dia­logue for a high-energy, fun-filled performance. Not only do the students learn their own class' songs, but everyone leaves the program singing all of the reper­toire. The Grandparents' Day production is a highlight of the school year not only for the students and audience, but also for the grandmother who directs the performance!

There was also a lot of jumping, throwing, and running as students participated in traditional events such as hurdles, long jump, and the fifty-yard dash . There were also non-traditional events such as frisbee toss , potato race , the parachute, and a charades game called "Lemonade." According to first grade student Luke Daub, "Field Day was great because I liked it. I loved the games. The best part was the obstacle course ."

Fifth Grade Goes to Washington B, Am, Bis,er. :P ,,,de

On Friday, April 27, 2001 , we went to Washington, D.C. We had to meet at the train station at 6:00 a.m.! The whole train ride was about two hours. We arrived at about 8:30 a.m. Our first stop was at the building museum. First , we looked around. Then we did a project. We were assigned to groups and got to build houses from different periods in American history. Then we went to the art gallery and did a scavenger hunt.

After that, we went and had lunch at a food court. After lunch we went to the postal museum and looked around. Then we had a choice-we could go to the mall or wait at the station . We chose the mall , of course! We went into Claire's and then into Ben and Jerry's. We got back to Richmond at 6:30 p.m. It was a really fun day!

Spotlight on: Ted Benson By B"nda TUffltlr. EnglIsh Teacher

March 29, 2001 , is a day that Ted Benson , his family, and The Steward School community will never forget. On that day, Ted became the first student in the history of our school to receive the prestigious Jefferson Scholar award presented by the University of Virginia 's Alumni Association. The Jefferson Scholar program attracts exceptional leaders, scholars , and citizens who have the potential to make significant contributions to the university and to the world as alumni. Roger Johnson, a member of the Jefferson Scholar Founda­tion , comments on the selection process: "After submitting a lengthy written application and taking part in two rounds of interviews, Ted was selected to travel to Charlottesville for a long weekend of testing and more interviews, with approximately 100 scholarship nominees from all over the world ." At the end of this "long weekend ," forty-two of these applicants walk away with the deal of a lifetime. Jefferson Scholars receive four years of tuition , room and board , books, and spending money. In other words , Jefferson Scholars attend U.Va. at no cost. The competition is fierce . Ted remarks, "I was by no means sure of my acceptance, but I did know that losing to any of the candidates would hold no shame for me. That's how talented the competition was ." Not only did Ted receive the Jefferson Scholar award, but he was also named a Rodman Scholar. Offered by the School of Engineer­ing and Applied Science, this program allows thirty-five promising and exceptional engineering stu­dents to participate in specially designed seminars, study groups, and student-initiated service projects . While Ted was impressed

Page 16

with the academic perks of this program, what he really liked is that "Rodman Scholars get to participate in some really cool research projects that are normally reserved for upperclassmen. In addition , this program will pay seventy-five percent of my ex­penses should I decide to opt for foreign internships." Grinning impishly, he adds, "And I have first priority for class selection ." Seems to me that the only amenity Ted won't have at college is maid service (an oversight, I'm sure).

Although most of us are no experts on the care and nurturing of potential Jefferson/Rodman Schol­ars , common sense tells me that these students share certain traits developed at home, in the school , and in the community. All of these young people have natural ability in several areas, an intense curiosity about their environment, and a love for learning that began at an early age. As Ted's mother, Robin Ricketts , a second grade teacher at Steward , says, "Ted was always interested in learning as much as he could . He was an empty con­tainer that needed to be filled ." So how does a parent inspire and support this natural curiosity and love of learning? To begin, Robin read with Ted every day and in­cluded in their daily routine activi­ties that would encourage a life­long interest in the printed word , like regular trips to the library for story hour and to check out books. Fortunately, Ted liked to read , and read he did! For him, learning to read was like finding the key that helped to unlock the world 's myster­ies. Robin recalls an occasion when Ted was four years old , and she lost him in a grocery store. She had to ask the store manager to

page him. Where was Ted? He was busy reading the labels on cereal boxes. She also relates an experience she had when Ted was seven years old , and Robin was enrolled in a computer program­ming course. Ted was the one who read her college textbook and coached her through the course!

While Ted has been blessed with many innate talents and a loving family, he and his parents are quick to give The Steward School partial credit for his success. Robin explains, "Todd Benson, Ted's father, and I appreciate the vigi­lance of the Steward administration and faculty who were constantly on the lookout for new challenges for Ted. Over the years, they have come to Ted with applications for community service organizations, like the Interfaith Council and the Henrico Youth Forum, and have encouraged him to participate in academic programs, such as a seminar in economics, during the summer. We also value the fore­sight of Ted's teachers who knew what his talents were and antici­pated his academic needs." A case in point is the willingness of Todd Serr, Ted's mathematics teacher for three years and physics teacher for one year, to create a Calculus II

course specifically for th is young man. After contacting the math departments at Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia , and Virginia Commonwealth University and asking for their course syllabi, Mr. Serr designed a challenging math class that kept the teacher and his pupil on their collective toes. Dur­ing the first three marking periods, Ted studied what is usually covered in the Calculus II courses at all three of these universities. For the fourth marking period , Todd asked Ted to select the topics he wanted to explore in more detail. Ted observes, "What was most exciting about this class was the opportunity to study, at my own pace, a subject that fascinates me. I remember a couple of days this year where , at the beginning of the period, Mr. Serr and I would come up with a problem or theory, and then we would sit next to each other for most of the period , scribbling all over sheets of paper in an intense, concentrated silence. When we finished , we would sprint up to the blackboard to show each other what we figured out or what we thought might be the best way to approach a problem. What was really awe­some was, sometimes, we had to deal with the reality that some problems have no solution." An­other member of the Steward faculty who recognized and tapped

into Ted's talents is Lisa Heaton, Director of Technology. Lisa and Ted created Sparta Net, Steward's own internal network or intranet. Ted explains what Sparta Net can do: "This network will serve as a utility for the Steward community by managing information and facilitat­ing communication ." By storing everything from student schedules to sports scores in one database, Sparta Net centralizes the data we collect on a daily basis, i.e ., lists of absent students , early dismissals for athletics or field trips . Adminis­trators and teachers can access this system to find student and teacher schedules, the due dates of important projects , special events, and numerous other data that I don't have the space to mention. Students will be able to log on to the system to view their schedule for the day, check on what assign­ments are due, or peruse the general school news. As a result of their collaboration, Ted and Lisa won the Collegium Prize, an award initiated by William R. Waddell , a trustee and alumni parent. Head­master Roger Coulombe, when announcing the winners of this award , which was presented for the first time this year, stated: "This prize is presented to a student and a faculty member who have worked together on a project to which both have made a sUbstantive intellec-

HeadmaHer Roger Coufombe congraruf"'~, Ted on 1\ inmng rhe 'effef\on Scholar-flip

tual contribution , pursuing the project primarily for the love of and appreciation for the creative pro­cess." Recipients of this award are recognized at graduation with a plaque and $1 ,000 award .

Ted Benson is not always busy making life interesting for his teachers and streamlining adminis­trative paperwork; he also enjoys participating in just about every activity Steward has to offer (his list of clubs and organizations is two pages long). During his tenure as a Spartan in the Upper School , Ted has been a member of Model United Nations, Interact, SODA, National Honor Society, and Student Council ; and he has been a class officer all four years . Two activities, however, stand out in particular­piano and lacrosse, activities on the opposite ends of the extracurricular spectrum. Ted has been Bonnie Anderson 's piano student for ten years. Reminiscing about his experience with her, Ted says, "Mrs. Anderson would always schedule me as her last lesson of the day because I would keep her late asking her questions about how to playa certain piece of music. She introduced me to Chopin 's works and led me through his complex melodies that are embedded in a flurry of notes." And , of course , there 's lacrosse. Originating from the Native American game played on a field by two teams of ten players each who ca rried "hooked sticks ," lacrosse is a sport that has provided a challenge for Ted , who freely admits, "One of my greatest accomplishments to date is learning how to catch the ball because I have no depth perception. It took me three years to learn this skill ." Ted credits his younger brother Alex , for whom lacrosse came as naturally as breathing and who patiently threw and caught with Ted in their back yard for hours, for his success. He goes on to say, "I also have to give credit to my lacrosse coach David Hope. Coach Hope is serious about the game, but, at the

PaDen

same time, he knows how to moti­vate his players in a humane way. He lets us go out there and do what we have trained to do. We believe in our team because he believes in us. I have never worked so hard at any other sport as I have with lacrosse."

No article about Ted Benson would be complete if I did not mention some of his awards (be­sides the ones cited earlier in this article) . He is a National Merit Scholarship finalist , an Advanced Placement scholar, and the recipi­ent of the College of William and Mary Leadership Award , the Bausch and Lomb Science Award , the University of Virginia Book Award , and the Virginia Math League Award . In addition, he has won awards for outstanding work in computers, math, science, and foreign language at The Steward School. During graduation, Ted received the coveted Dixon Award , an award named for Helen Dixon, the founder of The Steward School. This award is presented to a mem­ber of the senior class who has made outstanding contributions to all phases of life at our school.

Those of us who have had the privilege and pleasure of working with Ted Benson will miss him next year. We'll miss his contributions to class discussions, his team and community spirit and leadership, his sense of humor, his compassion , and his dedication to excellence in academics. We'll even miss the incessant drumming of his fingers on any desktop he happens to pass. In a time when our youth come under intense scrutiny and criticism , a student like Ted Benson comes along and makes even the most uncompromising cynics believe in the promise of our young people. As he leaves The Steward School , we know that he will carry on the tradition of stewardship-the responsibil ity of an individual to share his or her time and talents for the benefit of mankind.

Spring Sports Wrap Up

Varsity Boys' Lacrosse Ends Season at 14-3; Gains TILT Division II Semifinals

The 2001 varsity boys' lacrosse squad enjoyed the most successful season in the history of the sport at Steward. Under the direction of coaches David Hope and Frank Watkins , the team claimed 14 victories. The team had 3 losses, but they were against top-level opponents- Catholic High School and Nansemond-Suffolk Academy­ranked #1 and #2 in the State Poll. Since the team was so successful , they were invited to the Division II TILT Tournament, the sport's state independent school tournament. The Spartans were seeded #4 and gained a berth in the semi-finals, which were held at Steward. The team was not able to get to the finals , but it was an excellent sea­son .

The team posted wins over schools such as Covenant, Trinity, and Benedictine. These victories made for a great season, but the opportunity to play in the TILT Tournament made it a fantastic season. Both coaches said that the wins were great, but the real suc­cess of this team was the individual commitment of each player to the team. Each boy played with pride in himself, pride for the team , and pride for Steward . Neither coach could have asked for anything more from this squad . Leadership was provided by a core group of re­markable seniors. On offense, Jon Tipton, Harry Baron, and Parke Smith provided skills as well as support for teammates. Will Perkins quietly became the team's leading scorer and a terrific "clutch"

player. David Wood performed admirably in a crucial area of the game- the face­off. On defense, Jamie Reed and team MVP Ted Benson shut down the opposing of­fenses while sopho­more goalie, Blake Frostick, had an­other superb season.

Congratulations to the coaches and players for an excep­tional season! In addition, many thanks for the incredible support of the par­ents , students, and faculty, who regularly followed the team 's success.

Championships

The varsity girls' tennis squad participated in two conferences, the Virginia Commonwealth Conference (VCC) and the League of Indepen­dent Schools (LIS). The team had a perfect 6-0 record versus VCC opponents and clinched the regular season and tournament titles . In the LIS, the squad finished in 3'" place. Throughout the season, the team posted victories against Covenant, Christchurch , St. Vincent de Paul , and Tidewater Academy. Jane Tuohey assisted Head Coach Kendall Slabaugh . Both coaches noted the tremendous leadership roles that the team's three senior members provided. Ashlee Healey, Elizabeth Larus , and Caitlin Rossmoore provided

direction to some of the younger players in the team's quest for an overall record of 7 wins and 3 losses. Eighth grader Lacy Slabaugh had a great singles season for her #1 seed position, and newcomer Allison Strickland made substantial progress as the season continued.

The team, for the second consecutive year, was able to use the courts at the University of Richmond for all practices and home matches. Although excited by the generosity of the university, the team members look forward to next season on Steward's new tennis courts. Congratulations to all team members for another successful season .

Varsity Golf

The 2001 golf team's overall record of 10-8 is the greatest number of wins in a season for any Steward golf team to date. This group gained victories over teams such as Blessed Sacrament­Huguenot, Isle of Wight, St. Vincent de Paul , and Amelia Academy. In the Virginia Commonwealth Confer­ence (VCC) Tournament, the Spartans finished in 4'" place. Senior Jamie Rose was in 5'h place and freshman Lars Freeman earned the 8'h spot at the tourna­ment. In addition, the team was "under par" on the back nine for only the 2nd time in conference tournament history. Good job to Coach Catesby Jones and the boys!

Varsity Girls ' Lacrosse

In their first varsity season in the League of Independent Schools

(LIS), the Spartans faced tough competition and ended the season with a LIS Division II record of 1-7. Their overall record was 5-10-1. Throughout the season, the team's offense was led by eighth grader Morgan Hutchinson, who scored 48 goals. Freshman Heather

Hajek was the second leading scorer with 45 points, while junior Charmian Bonner added 22 points. Goalie Katie Perkins averaged 21 "saves" per contest. Under the leadership of team captains Charmian Bonner and Heather Hajek, the team steadily improved through­out the spring and played their best game in the first round of the LIS Division II Tourna­ment. At halftime of that game, the Spartans were down by a score of 7-2, but they made a great comeback to beat St. Margaret's. The

win was the first LIS win and also advanced the team to the tourna­ment semifinals against Trinity. The Titans ended the Spartan's season . Heather Hajek and Morgan Hutchinson were named to the LIS Division II All-Star Team, and both players participated in the Virginia High School All-Star Game.

Middle School Boys ' Lacrosse

The 2001 middle school boys' lacrosse team completed another successful season under the direction of Coach Chip Chapman . The team's 9 win , 1 loss record featured wins versus programs from Chesterfield , Collegiate, FUMA, St. Christopher's, and Tandem. Eighth grader Chris Harvey was the team's high scorer, while fellow classmate Andrew Rose manned the goal and limited the offensive output of the opponents. Helping Harvey on offense were Ross Guedri , Matt Long , Artis Mills, and Josh Tatum . Long also had the "face-off assignment. Another eighth grader, Andrew Nesmith , kept the offense rolling by snaring a large number of ground balls for the Spartan squad. Defensively, seventh grade players Philip Carter and James McCauley were standouts.

Alumni Enjov 20-Year Reunion

What a way to celebrate! The 20-year reunion for the Classes of 1980, 1981 , and 1982 was held on Saturday, June 2, 2001 , at Sharky's Restaurant in Innsbrook. The turnout was great as people visited wi th classmates they hadn't seen in years. Alumni played pool while sharing stories, sometimes laughing so hard they cried-- it seems these alumni found quite a few ways to

get into trouble during their time at Steward! According to Keith Fa irly, "It was great seeing my 'old' dassmates .. .1 am truly grateful for the friend­ships and education

that I gained from my time at Stew­ard-- I'm looking forward to our 25 year reunion!"

Keith and his wife, Teresa Fairly, joined fellow alumni and spouses Robert and Denise Dietz, Susan Hudgins Hood, Chris and Charlotte McGee, Michael and Heidi Clements, Bert and Kathryn Duley, and Marion Bailie ; all came to cel­ebrate their successes since graduating from The Steward School. Janet Rice , Carolyn Brandt, Paul Cramer, and Roger Coulombe also dropped by to say hello, and they had a great time catching up with the alumni.

The Alumni Association will hold a "Reunion Weekend" next spring-­more information will follow as we make those plans. If you'd like to volunteer, please contact Mary Harvard Nolde '83 at (804) 740-3394 ext.522 or by email at mhnolde@stewardschool .org .
