For the past 16 years, Berkshire IT techni-cian Pam Burns has owned a truly beautifulexample of American craftsmanship: a 1956Ford Thunderbird.

The car, otherwise known as the “littlebird,” was one of three models with the samebody style. In 1955 the first T-Bird was pro-duced, and the next year a continental kit,which featured a spare tire on the rear, wasadded. For its 1957 model, Ford added finsto the back end of the car.

Ms. Burns said she bought the car whenshe saw the movie American Graffiti.

While the wrecking ball levels MemorialHall this summer, the second and thirdfloors of the adjacent Allen House will begutted and thoroughly renovated, with anew heating system installed as well.

In the process, the current faculty apart-ments on those floors will become four newstudent rooms and a spacious new facultyapartment will be built on each floor on thesouthern side of the building, according to

Senior Project Manager Tammy Zerbe.Meanwhile, reports that Senior House

may be closed as a dormitory after next yearcould not be confirmed, so it is not knownwhether the new rooms in Allen would re-place the four rooms in Senior House.

The renovation, which will begin in Juneand is the first in a two-year plan to reno-vate the entire building, is welcome news toAllen residents.

“I am super excited. It will make up forthe lack of Memorial next year,” said fifth-former Jack Hughes, who has lived in Allenfor three years and hopes for a fourth.

“I’m excited about the renovations, as itwill make Allen a more desirable place to so-cialize,” said first-year faculty resident DanSkoglund.

Meanwhile, departing Allen house headColin McNamara says that “it will be a posi-tive change, but some people will miss theold flavor.”

She found out what kind of car it was andfound a green one for sale from a man inBolton Landing, N.Y. He told her that be-cause he was 6 feet tall, he didn’t fit in thecar. She bought the car, which had 140,000miles on it, and had it painted its originalcolor of black because she didn’t like the redcolor Ford used on T-Birds.

Beware of the Berkshire BearsBy Min Jung Yoo ‘10

An exotic summer in store for Sean OstroyBy Adam Albelin ’10

This summer, most students will have to struggle with boring summer jobs and no travel.But not sixth-former Sean Ostroy.

On June 18, the New York City resident will journey to Tanzania, where he will teach Eng-lish and math at a school in a Masai village, in a program sponsored by Global LeadershipAdventures.

“I enjoy working with children,” Sean says. “I am excited to have the opportunity to meetpeople from different cultures and help donate my time to make their lives better, even if it isjust for a short time.”

Sean, who has never been to Africa, adds that “I also look forward to seeing lions takingdown and consuming wild prey.”

Sean will also climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. “ I’m excited, butnervous, because I have never been that high. I don’t know if we will reach the top, but I liketo keep it in mind for a personal goal.”

Sean will attend the University of New Hampshire next year and major in kinesiology.

With reports of numerous black bearsightings on campus, the entire communitywas excited about the possibility of con-fronting a bear.

Pat Bush confronted one not once, buttwice.

Three weeks ago, Mrs. Bush was drivingnorth on Route 7 after getting dorm snacksat a grocery store in Connecticut. At around9:15 p.m., a bear came out of the darknessand collided with her Volvo one mile southof Berkshire School Road.

“I was so scared that I couldn’t tellwhich side it came down from,” she said.“I’ve always seen it coming, and I thinkabout what I should do, but there were nooptions to this one.”

She says she has hit a deer in the past, butnever a bear.

“The size of the bear was the whole widthof the car,” she said. “I slammed on thebrakes and just hit it. I didn’t have my cellphone at the time, which wasn’t smart.” Evenscarier is that during the whole frenzy, shecould see to her right another bear, a hugeone, standing on the road around her car.

“I couldn’t get out and check the damage,but a piece of the car was dragging along as I

drove away slowly. When I checked later,bear hairs were sticking out of the licenseplate and stuck in the front-end grill.”

Mrs. Bush’s second confrontation with thebears took place shortly after, when CherylGeerhold was driving and Mrs. Bush was inthe passenger seat. They were driving back tocampus about 10 p.m., just before they hadreached school.

“We noticed there was a bear standing inthe middle of the lane on the other side ofthe road,” says Ms. Geerhold.

Amanda Morgan also saw a large bear onMonday night just north of the driveway.

“It walked very slowly across the street infront of me. It stopped on the side of theroad and kept its eye on me as I drove past,”she said. “This one seemed like an older bear.His fur was a bit scruffy looking.”

The earliest sighting of bears on campuscame when security guards noticed bearsgetting into dumpsters behind Stanley andGodman.

“I guess that they found out we are a de-cent food source,” said Mrs. Bush. “The topsof the dumpster are made of plastic and notbear proof, so they don’t slow the bears downmuch.”

exterior color. So the interior of Ms. Burn’scar is black and white. The ’56 T-Birdcame with either a 202 hp or 325 hp V-8.Ms. Burns’s engine is a 202 hp engine.

She says she hasn’t received a ticket driv-ing her Bird.

“It’s a little scary driving it fast, as itdoesn’t handle as nimbly as a modern car.It has the correct tires for that year, sothey are not radials but bias ply tires,which do not hug the road as well.  Also,there is no rack-and-pinion steering, so itsways when you turn the wheel too much.And you have to think about what wouldbe the result of having an accident at highspeed:  no seat belts and no top.”

Ms. Burns’s model has both the canvasconvertible and fiberglass tops. When she isnot in the T-Bird she drives a 2003 ToyotaCelica GT. In 1956 a brand new Thunder-bird cost about $3,000. Today, they can gofor well over $30,000 used. Ms. Burns saidshe paid $13,000 for hers and it is worth inthe mid $20,000 range now.

She is unsure how long she will keep it. “I hardly ever drive it, maybe four times

a year. My husband is afraid that it willbreak down because it’s so old.”

The second phase of renovations to theforty-year-old structure will take place dur-ing summer 2011, according to Ms. Zerbe,and will include interior renovations to thefirst and second floors, renovations to theexterior of the building, and the installationof an elevator.

Because Memorial will be cut away fromAllen north of the second chimney, a sec-tion of now unused space will be convertedinto faculty apartments, which will com-

mand views of the woods, the new mathand science building, and Buck Valley.Meanwhile, the current faculty apartmentswill become four new rooms, two of themlarge corner rooms.

The room setups will differ on each floor,but all will make use of space efficiently. Inevery room, new energy efficient windowswill be installed.

The project’s architect is Moser PilonNelson Architects. Steve Nelson, a partner,

is a 1963 Berkshire alumnus.The renovations to Allen will be one of sev-

eral construction jobs on campus this summer.Besides the razing of Memorial and GlennyHouse, these include the construction of a newmusic complex in the Rovensky Student Cen-ter and the installation of twelve new tenniscourts on south campus.

Why It Will Be Hard to Leave Berkshire SchoolBy Katherine Simmons

Allen continued from page 1

Because green is my favorite color.

Because during games I love to yell “Let’sGo Bears” in the Ditka accent from thatChris Farley SNL skit.

Because in the real world there isn’t ahandbook that tells me what to wearevery morning. Without it, I probablywouldn’t even bother with clothes.

Because I love saying hi to everyone Isee, and at Berkshire people like me areaccepted – heck, we’re celebrated – forbeing friendly, not crazy.

Because I love hugging everyone I see.[Same justification as above.]

Because of WBSL. Best DJs in theneighborhood.

Because I never have to worry about los-ing my car keys – they are always in theignition.

Because of the babies, and the fact that Iam not their life source and so can al-ways appreciate their smiling and gur-gling and drooling.

Because right now I walk through twoblooming lilac bushes every time Ileave my home, and – I know this is acheesy one, but I don’t care – becauseI love nature.

Because not every salad bar offers thoselittle crispy noodles that I just eat plain.

Because there is always someone whowill randomly break into a show tuneditty and dance number with me with-out hesitation.

Because of the numerous places on cam-pus for me to practice my ninja moveswhile everyone else is in study hall.

Because of the four stooges who hangout in the faculty center during C, E,and F periods.

Because I have a huge apartment withplenty of room for my bicycle, plants, di-nosaurs, and chachkis.

Because now I really will need to learnhow to cook for myself.

Because even though they say it’s thepeople that make the place, it is the placethat brings the people together, and Iwill miss this place.

What do an accomplished equestrian ridergoing to Vanderbilt, the captain of theBrowning School fencing team, and JacobWeiner have in common?

Nothing, really, except the fact that we allhad to dress up in a tuxedo with tails anddon white gloves after waiting five hours andtwo rehearsals in order to walk a debutantemaybe fifteen yards in order for her to “comeout” into society.

I recently went to a debutante ball at thePlaza Hotel in New York City. A debutanteball, for peasants who will never get the expe-rience, is when a girl announces to the worldthat she is a woman while simultaneouslybeing ogled and judged by a ballroom full ofstrangers. To influence the judging and allowthe parents a way to compare and contrasttheir kids, the announcer lists the accom-plishments of the “deb” as well as her escort.Most of the accomplishments are commu-nity service related, but their accomplish-ments usually take a back seat to the pureridiculousness of their names. Have you everheard someone with three middle names?Now I have. I just can’t spell any of them.

The show was supposed to begin at eight,but I began my journey at the 3:30 rehearsal.I had missed an earlier rehearsal and needed acrash course in how to be an escort. (Thewoman on the phone had said it was impera-tive that I show up in full dress so I could“get used to the feel of the tux.” She was, asone could imagine, thoroughly insane, andweathered by years of private schools andvodka.)

It was a beautiful New York night, and Ihad just spent all my money for the semesteron a tux that made me look ridiculous. So Ihad decided to save on cab fare and walk the10 blocks from 63rd to the Plaza in my pen-guin tux. Two blocks, multiple judgmentalstares and one person wishing me good luck

at my concert on the street later, I decided tohail a cab.

During rehearsal, I had a crash course inhow to waltz by a guy named Ricardo Von-blahhjadhjfhak or something along thoselines. It clearly wasn’t his first rodeo and intaking under his wing a young newcomer tothe world of debs and fancy dresses. I wasborn without a sense of rhythm, and it wasn’tlong before he told me to simply follow theguy ahead of me.

We were led to the waiting room, wherewe waited indeed, for a good four and a halfhours. There was finger food that none of thedebs ate, and drinks that people were afraidto drink in fear of spilling. Not I. Still brokeafter my tux, I quickly came to the conclu-sion that free Plaza food is the best kind offood.

Presenting the debs by walking up anddown the runway went as well as one couldimagine, with the announcer rattling offeveryone’s accomplishments, some of whichranged from volunteer work in Cambodiabuilding shelters for orphans while compet-ing in international horse shows, to an ac-complished viola and piano player who isalso tri-lingual, to one kick-ass person attend-ing DePauw University in Greencastle Indi-ana (GO TIGERS.) After a quick dance wetook our seats for the auction that was aboutto begin.

The recession clearly does not apply tothose who can afford to go to debutanteballs. A bottle of Budweiser was sold for$175 as the first auction piece to go. Thefunction was sponsored by Cartier, and theitems for bid ranged from watches to photoshoots to twelve-day safaris in Africa. Afterthe guy behind me bought his third trip to aforeign country, I asked him what he does fora living. I don’t know what it is exactly but Iam most certainly starting a hedge fund.

After the auction, the band (who on theirbusiness card states “AS SEEN ON GOSSIPGIRL”) retired along with the parents andTHE DJ KROMO stepped in. Thus theafter party began.

The girls, who had once donned whitegloves and floor-length dresses disappearedfor a good ten minutes and reappeared wear-ing six-inch heels and much shorter dresses.The night carried on until about 1:30 whenDJ KROMO – who I would recommend forall your future functions – had to leavearound the same time the paramedics got offthe elevator to pick up a deb who was face-down in the bathroom in a blaze of glory anda puddle of vomit. She had come out to soci-ety very, very hard and was off to the hospitalfor an IV as her nightcap.

And so I learned how to waltz and bow inwhat I can only conclude is the WASP re-buttal to our ritual of a bar mitzvah. Theysaw us Jews when we were 13 and said, “Wewere in this country before you! We aredoing the same thing, making it shorter, anddoing it when we are between the age of 15-20….ha!”

Well played, WASPS, well played indeed.

Puth in the BoothMovies and meals don’t mixBy Colin Puth ’10

I saw X-Men Ori-gins with Mr.Wysocki and groupof friends last year, sowe all thought it would be a good idea to re-unite for the newest Marvel film to hit the bigscreen: Iron Man 2. However, instead of ven-turing to the Triplex in Great Barrington forpopcorn, we went to the Colonial Theater inCanaan, Conn., for dinner. At the Colonial,not only can you watch a movie, but snacksand entrees are served right at your table dur-ing the film.

The theater looks old from the outside, butinside it’s well built and comfortable. After tak-ing our seats we looked at the menu and placedour orders right before the movie began.Though I was thrilled about the idea of a mealwith your movie, the concept didn’t match thereality. While I didn’t anticipate anything toospecial from a movie-house kitchen, I wasnever really satisfied with my meal, and contin-ued ordering more from the menu until Ifound something I liked. Meanwhile, otherguests were placing their orders loudly andmaking noise moving their chairs and silver-ware around, and waitresses were walkingaround in front of the screen taking orders andclearing plates. What’s more, the volume waslower than normal to begin with. Needless tosay, all this confusion made it hard to pay at-tention to the film.

Once the commotion died down I was ableto enjoy the movie, which was very entertain-ing but not nearly as enjoyable as the first IronMan. In order to give the film a real review, Iwould need to see it again in a regular theaterwhere the only thing taking me away from thescreen would be popcorn in my lap that Iwould purchase before the film. I loved theidea of dinner and a movie and had a goodtime with my classmates, but I’m not sure if I’dvisit the Colonial for a second show.

Let us sink or swimBy Dakota Richardson ’10

Now that seniors are being rewarded for their hard work with exemptionsfrom exams, you would think they would be able to concentrate on extra-curric-ular things and enjoy the last days of high school.

Then why are we still in class? “Step up and be responsible for you own life. Make your own choices. Be-

come an adult.” These are just a few of the phrases that seniors have heard thisyear. We are expected to assume responsibility for ourselves and prepare to be onour own without teachers and advisors.

Being forced into class isn’t preparing us for college. After we know that thereare no exams to prepare for, what are we still doing in class? It gets to a pointwhere the situation moves from a learning environment to a flat-out waste oftime. This useless time spent in class could be spent doing more productivethings. For instance, some schools offer senior work programs and activities thatprepare kids for college and the real world. And the fact is, most seniors wouldbe happy to spend the time helping out around campus and being an integralpart of the community.

At a certain point the administration needs to let the seniors sink or swim. Ifwe were able to leave class and pursue things we have a passion for, things relat-ing to jobs or our careers, why shouldn’t we be allowed to pursue them? With-out a little freedom to make the right choices, we can’t be responsible forourselves, we can’t make our own choices, and we can’t become adults.

Editorial

For these three, college can waitBy Andrew McCarthy ’10

As the school year finally reaches its end, seniors are more than ready to finallymove on to the next step: college. But at least three sixth-formers have chosen totake a different path.

Dakota Richardson has decided to take a post-graduate year here to become fullyready for the collegiate experience.

“I really just fell behind on the college process, and I was supposed to repeat junioryear anyway but ended up not doing it,” said Dakota. “I’ve been at Berkshire for twoyears already, so doing a PG year here won’t be a very difficult transition. I knowBerkshire, so why risk going to a school like Hotchkiss or Taft where I would have tostart all over?”

Mike Freitag is headed for the Eastern Junior Hockey League.“I was really late in the college process and it got to the point where it was too late

to get into a school I wanted to go to,” says Mike, who said he didn’t get accepted tothe one school he wanted. “I really had my mind set on hockey, and right now I’mnot willing to give it up. So I figured I might as well give it one more shot.”

He said he plans to play for the Valley Warriors of Haverhill, Mass. Ryan MacDonald says he may join Mike in juniors next year or go to Hobart,

where he would play football, or St. Michael’s, where he would play hockey.

Several faculty and staff members are leavingin June, led by longtime French teacher Sher-man Caldwell and longtime administrator Sil-via Eggenberger. Among those also departingare Colin McNamara, Doug Brown, Davidand Janine Newman, Jared and MaureenCourtney, Cory and Keira Holbrough, EmilySkipp, Ray Demartino, Nick White, KenlyBrozman, Katherine Simmons, Laurie Elling-ton, and Linda Kay.

The Green & Gray caught up with a fewof them and asked about their plans.

English teacher and Allen house headColin McNamara, or Mr. Mac to studentshere, plans to join his girlfriend Rachel inNorthern California, where he hopes toteach at Sonoma Academy in Santa Rosa.

Activities director and Spanish teacherKatherine Simmons says she will move to

New York City and try out for the realityTV show Survivor. “I am looking forhelpers to make my audition tape beforeeveryone leaves for the summer,” said Ms.Simmons. Ms. Simmons says she will miss“the free room and board.”

Rookie science teacher Doug Brown willbe tapping trees in Vermont next year withhis brother and cousin for their new maplesyrup company.

History teacher and Stanley house headNick White says he will either teach at a dayschool in Boston or go back to school andwork on getting his masters in education.He says the biggest thing he will miss aboutBerkshire is the faculty. “Its going to betough to find another school with such agreat group of people,” said Mr. White.

History teacher, sixth-form dean and Pro

Vita director David Newman will be thenew dean of students at the Glenelg CountrySchool, a day school near Baltimore. Hiswife, French teacher and assistant director ofadmission Janine Newman, will work in theschool’s admission office. Mr. Newman sayshe will most miss “the tightness of the com-munity and the chance to see the school’s for-ward progression.”

Sherman Caldwell, who is in the processof earning a masters degree from Middle-bury College, says he has no definite plansyet. He has worked at Berkshire for nineyears, and both his stepchildren, Wentworthand Summerlin Knipe, are Berkshirealumni. “Although it is bitter to leave thisplace, I will miss it,” Mr. Caldwell said.

Many faculty to graduate, tooBy Ryan MacDonald ‘10

As the class days wind down and the antici-pation for graduation continues to skyrocket,several of the school’s four-year seniors reflectedon the past four years and the state of theschool during their time here.

The 45 four-year seniors have seen manychanges here at school: the class schedule,teachers coming and going, and the opening ofthe Stewart Center and the renovation of Berk-shire Hall. There is no question that BerkshireSchool is on the rise and competing with thetop boarding schools in New England.

For Will Hearty, a five-year student andthis year’s graduation speaker, the biggestchange has been the overall structure of theschool.

“The school has gotten more fun, and thestudents coming in are smarter and smarter,”says Will, who has been here five years be-cause he repeated his senior year.

Selina Sun says she feels that as she has got-ten older the community has become moredivided.

“As a freshman I knew more people than Ido now as a senior,” says Selina. She went onto say that the community had a closer feelthen, and that as she got older, the communitydivided into social cliques. Selina adds that thismay only be her opinion because as a fresh-man, she felt the urge to expand out and meetolder students, while as a senior, she did notbother trying to meet everyone.

Tim McErlean and Molly Lazio say thatthey will miss the people on campus the most.Spending every day with the same people onsuch a small community will definitely besomething that will change for most at collegenext year.

Surprisingly, Tim said will also miss Sun-days here. He said he looked forward all weekto “having no obligations.” At Berkshire stu-dents are on such a strict schedule and thingsare mapped out to the hour, but on Sundays,besides brunch check-in, the students can dowhat they please. When you’re on such aschedule, your one day off becomes that

much more appealing.As for me, the past four years have flown by.

I think anyone in our class would attest to that,especially with all the changes that have takenplace. I feel the biggest change of all has beenthe reputation that Berkshire now holds in theprep school world. Without facilities such asthe Jack and Berkshire Hall, or academic offer-ings such as the advanced math-science re-search program, Berkshire would not be whereit is today: one of the top boarding schools inNew England.

When I was a freshman looking intoboarding school, Berkshire was definitely notwhere it is today. In fact, it would have beentougher for me to get into Berkshire todaythan it was four years ago. Incoming studentsand teachers seem to be smarter, too. Andthe new math and science building slated toopen in 2012 will continue to raise Berk-shire’s status and attract the brightest studentsaround.

Farewell from the Chief By Kit Landry ’10, all-school president

At the end of our junior year, the newlyelected prefects and I sat down with Mr.Maher to talk about our goals for our senioryear. Our most important goal was that wealways wanted to get along, and we certainlyaccomplished this. The camaraderie amongthe prefects and myself helped make workingtogether easy and fun. I am glad we all gotalong so well and will miss working with all14 of them. As a group we did not want tobe viewed by the students as boring, stuckup, or, worst of all, bossy.

I am very pleased with how the year went.For me, there are a lot of funny moments tolook back on and be happy about: Thethriller dance, dodge-ball movie and wintercarnival are all highlights. I am glad I had theopportunity to have such an influence onhow the school year went. I tried my best tomake sure the students were having fun, en-joying every day, and not at odds with eachother and the faculty.

Next year seems poised for success as well.Teddy Benfield is now a good friend of minewhom I have enjoyed getting to know, and Iam excited for him to be my successor. Thenew prefects are all great kids and I wishthem good luck. I also would like to wish myfellow seniors good luck, and I hope theyfind success wherever they look for it.
