~ Global Club ~President Shane Cheon & Vice President Oscar Fernandez

This club was created to foster a continued strong

connection between our international students and

American students and faculty. We are intent on

sharing our international cultures with the Hillside

population as well as learning about other cultures.

The Global Club includes all international students

and meets twice a month in the Redeppening Room.

Cool Facts about Daegu

• Home to 3 Hillside boys

• South Korea’s 4th largest city

• The hottest city in South Korea

Sightseeing

Daegu, South Korea

Daegu is home to the Korean

“tough guy”. It is a city that is

proud of its long tradition as a

hard-working, fun-loving place.

The people are animated and open.

It also happens to be the home of

three of Hillside’s finest students,

Aiden Yoo, Shane Cheon and Ji Ho

Kim.

Back in the day, during my

sojourn in the Far East, I had

traveled to this amazing city. Complex bus systems, streets full

of people, sidewalk food vendors, towering apartment buildings, and

the ever famous Woobang Land

amusement park smack dab in the

middle of the city were some of the

hallmarks of this exciting

metropolis. I recall traveling to

Daegu on sweltering hot summer

days to meet up with some expats at

Woobang Land. Along the way I

would stop for some freshly made

Korean mussels at a local food

stand. Good memories and an even

better price (about $1 US in the late

1990s).

Daegu has a fascinating natural

medical market that is a tourist

draw. The city has a simple two-

line subway system that makes it

easy to get around. There is an

abundance of excellent restaurants,

a vibrant nightlife, and bright

neon-lit neighborhoods that put

Seoul and some parts of Tokyo to

shame.

Moreover, Daegu is a hub. It is

situated close to ancient Kyoungju

and Korea’s second largest city

Busan. Perhaps, if you find

yourself in this thriving city you

might want to give Shane, Ji Ho or

Aiden a call. No doubt they would

be happy to show you around their

wonderful city.

Holidays

The 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September

19th. People enjoy one day off on that day which is

usually connected with the weekend. The 2013 Mid-

Autumn holiday starts from September 19 to 21. The

holiday usually has pleasant autumn weather and

becomes a peak time for travel. You can travel to

China and explore the traditional folk customs of this

interesting festival!

Falling on the 15th day of the 8th month according

to the ancient Chinese Lunar Calendar, the Mid-

Autumn Festival is the second grandest festival (after

the Spring Festival) in China. It takes its name from the

fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the

autumn season. The day is also known as the Moon

Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its’

roundest. On this day, family members gather to

appreciate the bright full moon and eat moon cakes

which are rich and delicious. You may be tempted to

have more than one but you’ll have to go for a jog or

two the next day just to work off all of the calories.

At night during the festival, the Chinese express

strong emotions towards their homes and think of

family members who live far away. If you are ever in

China, don’t miss out on the mid-Autumn Festival.

Cool Facts about Miss Pagnam

• Played water polo in high school & college

• She got a hole-in-one in golf

• Has been making Nantucket baskets since 10

Page.4 Global Gazette Hillside School

Faculty Profile

The ever likeable Miss Pagnam

has been teaching at Hillside for

six years. She has been a force

of stability in the Math and

Language departments and

now is the new Assistant Athletic

Director. The kids think she is one

of the “cooler” teachers and

she always has a group of

adoring middle school boys

surrounding her for pleasant

conversation. Part of the reason

that the kids like her so much is

that, along with Miss Lucey, she

will go out of her way to

remember birthdays and

surprise the boys with

homemade cookies or brownies

on that special day. It may be a

birthday surprise or a cheer-me-

up batch of brownies, but no

doubt these warm gestures go a

long way with the boys.

Miss Pagnam grew up in New

Haven, Connecticut and is a

product of the boarding school

world herself. In high school she

attended Choate where she

was a member of the water

polo and swimming teams. She

went to Colgate College in

Hamilton, New York. Shortly

thereafter she became a

member of the Bulldog faculty

here at Hillside. Miss Pagnam

lives at Williams House and can

Miss Pagnam

be seen jogging down Robin Hill

Road on occasion or out and

about on the campus.

During the summers Miss

Pagnam vacations in

Nantucket. She likely hangs out

at the beach and gets some

golf in and, in the evening, one

can picture her making

Nantucket baskets. She’s an

avid golfer and coaches the

golf team at Hillside. She has

been a perpetually smiling and

friendly presence at Hillside.

She’s always available for a

chat if you happen to cruise by

room #12 during the day. So,

stop in and say hi to her. There

might be a brownie, cookie, or

other treat in it for you

sometime down the line.

Cool Facts about old photos

• Photography has been around since 1826.

• George Eastman named his company “Kodak” after

the sound he thought the camera shutter made.

• We used to think Kodak instant cameras were cool.

Reflections

What a year! The 2012-2013 school

year was one of my fondest of all

time. We had a terrific student body

and an exciting action-filled year. The

sports teams were off and running.

Mutaya brought a new excitement to

varsity soccer that hasn’t been seen

in a while. Remember the varsity-

faculty b-ball game? The hockey

team was perhaps the finest we’ve

had here at Hillside and the

basketball team was excellent as

well. Bernardo and Jesse Lee

dominated ping pong. Fall Family

Weekend and grandparents

weekend were highlights again.

Faculty dogs ran all over Bulldog

campus. We went to Six Flags as well

as Canobie Lake. Diversity Day went

smoothly and the senior boys

traveled to the nation’s capital.

Graduation was touching as always

and, in the end, everyone said

goodbye and this campus got quiet.

Until now!

Culture Night

Culture Night: Hillside Boys go

to the Chinese Super Buffet

Super Buffet in Marlborough

was the site of the Hillside

School’s cultural night out on

last Saturday night. Nearly 26

boys along with Mr. Bryant

and Mr. Brown loaded into

the buses and headed to the

Chinese Super Buffet. And

super it was! Fish, won ton

soup, mussels, clams, frogs’

legs, roast pork, chow mein,

General Tso’s chicken, spicy

vegetables, fried egg and

rice, ice cream, and so much

more. The boys were well

behaved, polite, and had a

great night out. Next up on

Harry’s hobbies are, in this

particular order, eating and

playing strategy games like

cards. Hmmm, I never knew

eating could be considered

a hobby, but why not? He

says the hardest thing about

coming to Hillside is

competing in cross-country.

Wow, it’s not the culture

shock or the study schedule;

instead, it’s Mr. Sedney’s

grueling practices after

school.

So Harry, what do you want

to be when you grow up? A

doctor? Lawyer? Business

person? Nope! Harry wants to

be a teacher. Thank God,

after all these years of asking

kids, finally someone says a

teacher. And, if Harry is

anywhere near as proficient

in teaching as he is as a

student, then he should win

several teaching awards.

with his parents and

grandparents. It’s an

interesting concept for us

westerners. Rarely do you see

grandparents here living with

their sons or daughters and

grandkids. Perhaps it makes

us look a bit cold or un-family-

like to an outside eye, but the

family concept is strong in

China. People have a

tremendous amount of

respect for their elders and

extended family members.

So, why did Harry come all

the way from Jiashan to go to

the Hillside School? Education

of course! It’s the name of the

game in China these days.

China is projected to

overtake the United States as

the world’s strongest

economy in 2016 or 2017. No

people, not in some vague

distance down the road; in

just a few years. And the key

to maintaining a high end

economy is education. That is

why you see many

international students flocking

to the West.

about the school. His best friend

is Santiago which is surprising

since he’s only known him for 3

weeks and has a ton of friends

from last year. But, if you know

Lucas, he makes friends easily.

Not only does he make them

easily, but he keeps them easily

as well. This is not so easy a task

to accomplish in this modern

era of competing selfish

interests, but one that this little

charmer has mastered. He’s a

great friend to everyone around

here, a wonderful student

leader in and out of the

classroom, and as likeable a guy

as you will meet.

So, what do you want to be

when you’re older Lucas? “An

actor”, he says with certainty.

“Or possibly, a scientist or

musician.” What happened to

the certainty? How about an

actor playing the part of a

musical scientist? Ah, the

unlimited, open mind of youth.

No doubt the world has

something special in store for

this young man. Or perhaps, we

could say that the reverse

proposition holds true: Lucas has

something special in store for

the world.

takes considerable charm to

pull that off.

Lucas moved to Mexico City

when he was in the third grade.

His father Nick, who can

sometimes be seen on Bulldog

campus, moved the family to

Mexico following a job trail.

Nick, if you’ve ever talked to

him, has a delightful British

accent. Talk about a

sophisticated family that speaks

many languages and has many

different accents in one nuclear

family unit. I can’t wait to hear

the mother speak. Lucas’

mother is Anna Lucia. She is a

jeweler by trade and young

Lucas perks up when he talks

about her. Lucas also has two

stepbrothers and a step sister.

So there little hugger-charmer

guy: Why did you come to

Hillside? Lucas answers: “To

learn English and because my

mother recommended the

school.” Which begs the

question: How did a jeweler in

Mexico’s capital city come to

hear about our little school in

the American north east?

Interesting, I guess the word has

spread.

Lucas says he likes everything

Does anybody know of a really

great kid who comes from “the

City of Love”, lived in the Land

of the Chupacabra, speaks

three languages, and likes to

hug? OK, that’s the easy part of

the trivia. Of course it is Lucas

Adam de Teresa. He’s a class

leader, enthusiastic to answer

any question asked, is

perpetually smiling and willing to

help other students, and loves to

talk. In fact, in between hugs he

might give you an answer that is

slightly circumspect, but always

entertaining and good natured.

Born in the city of Paris, France

Lucas grew up there for his first 8

years. Paris is known for its

sophistication, charm, and

romance. Young Lucas has all of

these attributes; especially, the

last two. Nobody at Hillside hugs

the female teachers as much as

Lucas. It’s not even close. As far

as the charm part goes; well,

Bum Kyu

Priceless! I found myself fumbling

for my video recorder. It was

one of those rare spontaneous

moments that needed to be

captured on camera.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it

fast enough and the boys

finished singing.

So, Bum Kyu, why did you

come to school in America?

Was it to audition for The Voice?

“No! I like to try new things,”

replied the boy. New things

indeed; like schools, languages,

and destinations around the

world. Bum Kyu has an inquisitive

and explorative mind and he is

going to go far in life.

Ultimately, Bum Kyu wants to

be a baseball player. He loves

the Cincinnati Reds and aspires

to play for them someday. Well,

if he doesn’t make it in the world

of baseball there is always, well,

everything else. This positive,

friendly, and intelligent kid

should have no problem making

it in just about anything he

chooses to do.

Bum Kyu Kim. I am 12 years old

and from South Korea, but I

lived in Japan for two years.

Nice to meet you!” After the 30th

time, I could repeat those words

in my sleep. His mother Eun Soo

dropped him off at Hillside this

summer and seemed very proud

of her son. His father, Hoon Chul,

is a businessman in the South

Korean capital. And, Bum Kyu

has an older sister Joo Yeon,

going to school at Wilbraham

and Monson.

“BK”, as Miss Lucey named him,

loves sports and computer

games. He had a great time

playing wiffle ball with Mr. Evans

and the boys this summer and

could be seen mowing down

space invaders on his laptop.

Bum Kyu was an instant hit with

the other boys. He quickly made

friends with Kane Ito and Ryusei

Morishima. After day 3, they

were inseparable. On one

occasion, after coming back

from a nice meal in the evening,

the song “Good Time” by Owl

City came on. You know,

“Woah-oh-oh-oh …It’s always a

good time woah-oh-oh-oh “ Etc.

As if scripted from a TV series,

led by BK, the boys all started to

belt out this song in synch.

Hey, who is Bum Kyu Kim’s

advisor this year? You might

think that was a question asked

by Bum Kyu himself before the

start of the year. You would think

a grade 7 student that is new to

Hillside would want to know one

of the all-important essential

answers to a question such as

this. In fact, that question was

the hot topic among the faculty

just before school started after

meeting Bum Kyu in the summer

JumpStart Program. Of course

we like all the kids, but Bum Kyu

had the advantage of getting

here early and, well,

accumulating a lot of fans. He’s

a happy boy with a wonderful

personality who might just be

impossible to dislike.

Bum Kyu comes from Seoul,

South Korea but he also had

lived in Kobe, Japan for two

years. In fact, I know his lines

from having seen him introduce

himself about 70 times during

the summer: “Hello, my name is

Jean “William” Manket

“Bonjour, Jean William. Je

m’appelle Monsieur Brun,” I had

said to young William when he

had first arrived in the United

States. Hearing that new student

Jean William Manket was from

the French speaking country of

Ivory Coast, I wanted to

welcome the young man to the

United States in broken-French

and a poor accent not used

since my junior high days.

Expecting a big smile and some

congratulatory pats on the back

for my awesomeness, I was

greeted with a menacing look.

“Don’t speak French, I’m here to

learn English!” “Oh”, said I as I

retracted my hand. “Well then,

please sit down and let’s get

started.”

William, forever direct and

honest, does not mince his

words. He also speaks with

heartfelt passion. It’s usually

about the European soccer

league or Messi and Ronaldo.

The hand gestures are flying all

over the place. He’s about 4

inches from your face and

emotionally charged. If

someone were to walk by at

that moment, they’d think

William was lecturing you about

something offensive you had

said. “Hey, what did you say to

William to set him off like that?

Did you speak French or

something?” “Err…no! I asked

him who won the game

between Barcelona and Bayern

Munich last night”. Ahhh,

youthful exuberance!

William plays on the JV soccer

team. He plays forward,

perhaps even striker. He’s

always around the ball. I

watched a game a few weeks

ago and Hillside was down by

one but pressing. Bam…shot off

the crossbar. Then, Fenn had a

chance and Bam…off the

crossbar. Back and forth the

game went. Finally, young

William had an opportunity with

a loose ball in front of the

goalkeeper and put the ball in

the net. The kids went wild. Fist

pumps were flying. The game

went on a little longer and the

action was intense but in the

end it was a draw. William was

the game hero and a tie was a

fitting end to a great JV game.

William was born in South Bend

Indiana but grew up in the Ivory

Coast. The Ivory Coast is a

relatively small western African

country with a population

roughly the size of the state of

New York. It was colonized in the

15th and 16th centuries by French

and Portuguese traders, which

explains the predominance of

the French language and

young William’s ability to speak

it. William’s mother is a doctor

and a very soft spoken woman

with a deep affection for her

son. It is obvious that William

looks up to her. When asked

what he wants to be when he is

older, the answer is quick: “A

doctor!” “I come from a family

of Dr.s Mr. Brown.”

Well, William is in his second

year here at Hillside. He came in

speaking very little English and

has improved greatly. He can

hold a conversation easily now

and his study habits are

improving. He still has a little way

to go, but it seems as though

the little monsieur from the Ivory

Coast is going to make it here.

Well done young William!

World Mysteries

Tamam Shud “The Somerton Man”

The Linbergh Baby

Page.16 Global Gazette Hillside School

The year was 1948. An unidentified man was found dead on Somerton Beach

on a warm December 1st day. The beach had been a popular destination for

people throughout the year. The police arrived on the scene and asked if anyone

knew the man. When nobody did, they searched his pockets to look for any

identifying items. In one pocket was a piece of paper. On the paper were written

the words “Tamam Shud”. Little did the police know that this cryptic message

would trigger one of the greatest mysteries the world has ever witnessed.

Tamam Shud is a name for a phrase meaning “ended” or “finished” on the final page of the Rubaiyat. The

Rubaiyat is the title that English poet Edward Fitzgerald gave to a selection of poems originally written in

Persian. The rubaiyat is a two line stanza or “quatrain” in which the interpretation depends very much on

the arrangement of the words in the quatrain. Considered "one of Australia's most profound mysteries" at

the time, the case has been the subject of intense speculation over the years regarding the identity of the

victim, the events leading up to his death, and the cause of death. Public interest in the case remains

significant because of a number of factors: the death occurring at a time of heightened tensions during the

Cold War, what appeared to be a secret code on a scrap of paper found in his pocket, the use of an

undetectable poison, his lack of identification, and the possibility of unrequited love. To this day nobody

has been able to solve the mystery of the Somerton Man.

While the case has received the most scrutiny in Australia, it also gained international coverage, as the

police widely distributed materials in an effort to identify the body, and consulted with other governments

in tracking down leads

The year was 1932 and the place was the stately country residence of one Mr. Charles Augustus

Lindbergh. Five years earlier (1927) Lindbergh had become the first man to make a trans-Atlantic flight

which propelled him to icon status in the United States. In fact, at the time Lindbergh was perhaps the most

famous man in the world. He and his lovely wife Anne had produced a little boy named Charlie who the

press quickly dubbed “Little Lindy”. Fast-forward to the foggy and drizzly night of March 1st, 1932. The

Lindbergh’s had just returned from dinner out to their estate in Hopewell, New Jersey.

In the early part of the evening kidnappers used a latter to climb up to a second

story window where little Charlie was sleeping and snatched the baby. No one

heard a thing. A ransom note was left and negotiations with the kidnappers

stretched out for weeks. Midnight meetings in a graveyard in which cash was

exchanged occurred but the little guy never returned. The body was found a mere

five miles from the family home in a ditch alongside a walking path. Although

there were a few suspects in the case and eventually the arrest of a German

immigrant, to this day FBI experts believe that a team of kidnappers had to be

involved. The abduction of the Lindbergh baby goes down as one of the most

confounding in American criminal history.
