To the Senior Class o f 2012 and all Eagles:

As I arrived a t my office fo r my very f irs t day a t PCDS, I noticed a decal th a t had been affixed to the glass o f th e fro n t door. On the decal w as a Chinese character, and below it w as an exp lanation o f its s ig n ifi­cance:

"This sym bol m eans cham eleon, it repre­sen ts both change and ease. For change to be easy, it m u s t be em braced, as the cham eleon does. Celebrate change."

I've chosen to leave th e decal on my door because I th in k it's a nice rem inder abou t how we should approach one o f the n a tu ­ral rh y th m s o f life: change. Much as I have s ta rted a new phase o f my life here a t Phoenix C ountry Day School, f if ty -e ig h t o f you w ill soon s ta r t a new phase of yours in college.

I w ish you the best o f fo rtu n e s as you em brace and ce lebrate th e challenges of your new adventures. M ay you all be as adaptab le as th e cham eleon.

Sincerely,Andrew M. Rodin Head o f School

Our beloved Ms, Treadway is truly an example for all of us here at PCDS. Despite her battle with cancer in 2009, she still comes to school every day with a smile on her face and a laugh that resonates through the quad, From morning meetings to conversations in passing, she is a ubiquitous force of loving guidance and joy. Whether its helping us fix our computers or monitoring the computer lab to make sure that no mischief occurs, she s our go-to gal for all of our problems. When we need a shoulder to cry on, Ms. Treadway does not judge and can always spare a moment for advice, She closes our lockers for us when we 'forget' to and reminds us how to line up for bus and fire drills through her oh-so snazzy Powerpoint presentations. Of course, every Southern girl has a fun side; brave and audacious Ms. Treadway tackled parachuting this past year, probably while listening to country music and grabbing a deal on _ GroupOn on her iPhone. Ms. Treadway brings this vibrant enthusiasm to every club, activity, and conversation she's involved in, acting as a personal cheerleader to all, PCDS would feel empty without her blue and gold spirit and bottom less dedication. Everyone, especially this senior class, has been touched by her presence on campus, so we dedicate this yearbook to her in appreciation of all she does. The Class of 2012 thanks you and loves you, Ms. Treadway!

"If noth ing ever changed, there 'd be no bu tte rflies ." -A u th o r Unknown

As I w ander th rough the Lower School classroom s and w itness the trem endous changes in the children each year, I marvel a t w h a t takes place. From barely holding a pencil in p re-k indergarten to fo rm ing paragraphs and essays in fou rth grade, the deve lopm ent of read­ing and w riting skills happens a t a phenom enal rate. The physical education teachers can a tte s t to the leap in m o to r skills and g row th of coord ination during th is tim e period. A rtis tic expres­sion, from sim ple draw ings to in trica te planned scu lp tures and painting, skyrockets as our s tuden ts gain confidence and use th e ir im aginations. Singing sim ple nursery songs evolves in to note-reading, and perform ances bring joy * ,and life to the Lower School com m unity.

In every subject each year, we "ad just accordingly" ^to the challenges in the curriculum . N urturing 1 1 H Ithe child until he or she is ready to spread its L J r H ^ H Iw ings is w h a t we do so well in the Lower g fA y y la S ^ H ^ .School. I am gra te fu l fo r the incredibly ta l- /, ented and caring facu lty w ho make sureth a t our budding bu tte rflies take flig h t *1 ^each year, spreading th e ir w ings to M r .fly and share th e ir natura l beauty - \ i ,w ith the world. | | | §

It took a lo t of pacing back and fo rth in my bedroom on Friday n ight before I could will m y­se lf to s it down and w rite th is review. Why was I pacing back and forth? I was doing so because of the pressure to w rite a review th a t would do th is show and the people th a t were in it justice.

This eccentric show, Death to the Drama Club, is centered around a school board tha t, because o f budget restra in ts, m ust find a school club to cut. The villanious and crazy tem porary principal, Ms. Grackle (played by Jillian Gilburne), decides th a t the club she w an ts to cut is the Drama Club, led by the fa irly insane, yet caring Ms. Goldberg (played by Kira Kirby). The rest o f the school board seems to agree w ith Ms, Grackle's decision until they see the determ ina tion of Ms. Gold­berg's dram a club members to save the ir club. The president of the club, Heidi (played by Claire Hayden) and the falsely accused prankster and ta len ted w rite r, V incent (played by Oliver M ars- den) take the lead in try ing to save the club.

Much to Ms. Grackle's surprise, the school board decides to give the dram a club one week to put on th e ir own production of The Wizard ofOz. Like the classic version th a t we all know and love, th is production includes such charac­te rs as Dorothy (played by Adriana Dunlap), the Scarecrow (played by Leah Chanen), the Tin Man (played by Carissa Wang), and the Lion (played by Rica Chan).However, unlike the original produc­tion, these beloved characters do not act exactly as they did in the 1939 movie. In addition, there are some guest appearances from iconic charac­te rs such as Mary from "Mary Had a L ittle Lam b", Edgar Allan Poe, Juliet Capulet, Captain Ahab, and Scarlett O'Hara.

The acting in th is show com pletely exceeded m y expectations in every way, shape, and form . I also enjoyed the costume choices and the make­up design. The stage crew, which included N ata­lie Cohen, Jason Greenfield, Divya Agrawal, Amy Bedeir, Jordan Merkel, Anson Naumann and Isa Pesquiera, could defin ite ly be considered visionar­ies in my opinion. The set, props, and everything else they contributed to th is fabulous show were astounding. Finally, I w a n t to recognize the one and only Ms. Decker, the director of th is comedy.If you came to th is show, you would have seen th a t all the hard w ork she put into it definitely paid off.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. And these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than politicians think. W e have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books. - Michel Foucault

W hat passes for hip cynical transcendence of sentiment is really some kind of fear of being really human, since to be really human is probably to be unavoidably sentimental and na ve and goo-prone and generally pathetic.--David Foster W allaceIn f in ite J e s t a p t#

Eden Shuster

"This is the gift of your species and this is thedanger, because you do not choose to controlyour imaginings. You imagine wonderfulthings and you imagine terrible things, andyou take no responsibility for the choice. Yousay you have inside you both the power ofgood and the power of evil, the angel and thedevil, but in truth you have just one thinginside you - the ability to imagine." ,Michael Crichton

'Tacts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.”
