Every Picture Tells A Story - Episcopal Academy

Architectural sketches of the Chapel,designed by Robert Venturi ’44.“The Chapel will be what you see asyou drive up to the school and whereveryou are inside the campus.”which will be home to The Roger Annenberg Library, thedining facilities, two theaters, arts classrooms, a faculty commons,and administrative offices. Bohlin Cywinski Jacksonwas hired to design the Athletic Center, while Venturi ScottBrown and Associates (led by Episcopal alumnus Robert Venturi’44) was hired to design Episcopal’s new Chapel.While no one doubted the expertise or reputation of any ofthe firms, having four architects of this stature working togetheron one project is a relatively new concept in Americanarchitecture and had the potential to create friction.“Working in parallel with other architects—that’s unusual,”says John Hunter, senior associate with Venturi. “Normallyyou’re the one architect that’s there talking with the client.In this process, we’ve met regularly with the other architects,and that has been very interesting.”2001b G&W obtains approval for a 123-lotsubdivision and announces its intent tosell the entire site for the best offer over$30 million.b Board members Brian Tierney, Crocketand his son, Dave Crocket, Jr., andparent and real estate developer, BrianO’Neill join together to try and obtain anoption on the land for the school. O’Neillrecalls: “We went to see Jack Gamboneon the first Saturday in June and reachedan agreement that tied the property up aslong as we kept making non-refundabledeposits and closed in 90 days. Wewrote personal checks for the first fewdeposits and offered the agreement toEpiscopal which, we were warned, hadno money to complete the purchase. Sowe went and raised the money.”b During the first 45 days of theagreement, $12 million in pledges werereceived and the Nolen Companies,headed by parent Jim Nolen, agreedto acquire 100 of the 223 acres for$14,250,000.4 C o n n e c t i o n s

these characteristics into the new building and ended up placingthe 900 seats radially, so that everybody will be able to seethe altar as well as each other.The new Chapel will be a third larger than the existing Chapel.“A lot of the discussions were about how do you create asoaring space and still feel comfortable when a smaller groupis in there,” Hunter recalls. In addition to creating a sense ofintimacy through the seating arrangement, Venturi workedto incorporate natural light and views of the landscape “tocreate a space that was inviting and also awe-inspiring andsoaring.”The Campus Center“The theater will be as good asalmost any theater—not just schooltheaters—in Philadelphia.”ulty and students, both outside the classroom and inside theclassroom,” Prokos says.The dining facility, at the opposite end of the building fromthe library, will be another gathering spot for faculty and students.Younger students and older students will have theirown seating areas, with students and faculty filing througha serving hall to collect their food before entering the mainspace. Views of the campus and landscape will make this aninviting area, one in which students and teachers will linger inconversation. The senior commons and lockers, college guidanceoffices, and a health suite will adjoin the dining hall.The ArtsAt the heart of the Campus Center will be the theater, artstudios, vocal and instrumental music rooms, a ceramics studio,a dark room, a digital photography studio, a digital videoproduction studio, a woodworking and scene shop, and acommunal arts office. “Having all of us in one place, not in alot of different buildings, will create a synergy,” says Chair ofthe Art Department, Mary French. “We’ll all work off eachother and share curricular ideas.”Chair of the Music Department, Joe Buches, agrees. “Itreally will enable that built-in time where we can easily collaboratewithin the department itself and with other artdepartments,” Buches says. Furthermore, music groups andart classes will no longer compete for space but will have specializedrooms and performance venues. “The facility willlend itself to having more opportunities for students,” Buchessays. “There will be more flexibility in continuing to developthe program instrumentally and chorally.”A black box theater will offer a smaller space for both formaland impromptu performances. “It is a theater that hasa very flexible arrangement so that you can arrange the audienceany way you want,” Prokos explains. But the crownjewel of the arts complex will be the 600-seat, state-of-thearttheater, with a courtyard for gathering before and afterperformances.2003b In September of 2003, the NewtownTownship Zoning Hearing Board grantsEpiscopal a special exception to locatethe school in a residential area inaccordance with the Master Plan.b The decision is reached to retainmultiple design architects and onemaster architect for buildings. “Wesimply didn’t want the new campus tolook sterile,” Head of School Ham Clarksays. “We didn’t want it to look like acorporate campus. So we said, ‘Let’sbring in several architects.’”b In November, following a nationalsearch, Hillier Architecture is selectedas Master Architect, with Philip DordaiThe other building that will act as a focal point on the newcampus will be the Campus Center. “The campus center wasviewed as a very important building,” Gund says. The entranceto the building will be a main reception area withwood paneling and a founders’ wall containing plaques ofmajor donors. “It should be a very welcoming space.”A sky-lit cupola will draw the eye from the reception areaup a grand staircase to the second floor, where the headmaster’soffice will look out over the entrance to the building andonto the Campus Green. The Admission Office and other administrativeoffices will be nearby. A board room, also withdramatic views of the surrounding landscape, will sit at thesouth end of the building. The main entrance to the new RogerAnnenberg Library will be near the entrance to the CampusCenter, forming the north wing of the building.“The library is a very traditional school library, but it alsorecalls some of the grand reading rooms of great libraries,such as the Boston Public Library and the New York PublicLibrary,” says John Prokos, the principal architect for Gund.A two-story space with ample reading area, the library willhave windows on three sides, tables around the exterior, andbooks mostly collected in the center section. The library willalso boast two computer labs for teaching research skills.A faculty commons will offer the entire faculty a space togather and share ideas. The idea was to make this a space forall faculty members and to place it in the Campus Center sothat teachers will not always be tucked away in their respectiveunits. “Part of the goal Episcopal has is to continue tocreate a lot of opportunities for interaction between the facasthe principal in charge, and individualbuilding design architects as follows:ChapelRobert A.

Episcopal Launches Pilot SpanishCourse for Pre-K and KindergartenStudentsBy Crissy Caceres(In collaboration with Joyce Gavin, Elizabeth Cocco, and Jennifer Rea)Chris Fallon ’98 and Kaitlyn Fallon ‘06Kurt Lunkenheimer ’05, Kraig Lunkenheimer ’09,and Keith Lunkenheimer ’06Michael Contino ’04 and Marco Contino ’06Starting the first week of school this year, the Pre-K and Kindergartenclasses at Episcopal will sound a little different. Thanks to a new pilotprogram, which will provide the students with 25 minutes of scheduledSpanish language instruction every other day, “Hello” will be replacedwith “Hola” and “Good Day” with “Buenos Dias.”In addition to my new role as Assistant Head of the Lower School, I will beteaching this pilot course. As a native Spanish speaker, born and raised in PuertoRico, this presents a wonderful opportunity for me to share my beautiful andimpacting language on a daily basis with eager children.After working this summer with Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers to planthis course, I am confident that everyone involved is fully committed to makingthis a successful addition to an already enriching curriculum at Episcopal. Webelieve that children at this stage of development are open to a variety of newideas. Thus, what they are presented with at Episcopal can have a very significantimpact on their development. We are creating an environment to help themthink openly about and appreciate the richness of difference. Spanish is a vehiclethrough which young children can appreciate cross-cultural perspectives. Crucialto a strong learning foundation is an understanding of our place in a globalsetting. In the light of findings that cognitive development is enhanced withearly language learning, we begin at the Pre-K and Kindergarten levels with theexpectation that this will enhance all of their learning experiences.Spanish will be integrated into all aspects of the students’ homeroom curriculumas a means of instruction. Additionally, students will be exposed to and immersedin experiences within a specified Spanish speaking culture within their socialstudies curriculum. When you enter Wetherill House this fall, you will noticethat wondrous images of Costa Rica and Mexico will greet you. Learning willbe ongoing as it connects to other content areas such as music, art, science, anddrama. The students will learn the language and experience various Spanishspeaking cultures through games, music, food, videos, puppets, stories, field trips,visiting speakers, and art activities. Students will also have access to a libraryof bilingual books, videos, books on tape, and CDs. There will be a weeklynewsletter sent home, which will include vocabulary lists, suggested activities,and songs taught. We hope to create opportunities to make curricular connectionswith the Middle and Upper Schools and our surrounding community. Familieswill also be invited to a culminating activity at the end of the year, which willshowcase what the children have learned.Through this pilot course, we believe that students’ lives will be enriched. Theywill also have acquired an introductory Spanish vocabulary, as well as someconversational skills. Our hope is that through their enthusiasm and genuine thirstfor knowledge, they will bring what they’ve learned into their own homes. Theentire school community will benefit from this foundation in language learning.Just remember, as you walk through the Lower School next year, you just mighthave young voices greeting you in Español!uation ’06F a l l 2 0 0 6 15

AlumniThe History and Purposeof The Alumni SocietyOne of the oldest in the country, the Alumni Societyis responsible for far more than you might thinkBy Clayton Platt ’73, Director of AlumniWhen Alumni Reunion Weekend rolls around next spring, it will markthe continuation of a very nice tradition, but one that isn’t nearly asold the Alumni Society itself. Founded in 1877, and subsequently incorporatedunder Pennsylvania state law, the Alumni Society of theEpiscopal Academy is the oldest formal alumni group within the Inter-AcademicLeague. It is safe to say that the Alumni Society is also one of the oldest groupsto formally represent a secondary schools’ graduates, not only in the Philadelphiaarea, but in the country. This is quite a distinction, but it may beg the question:What is the Alumni Society and what does it do? To answer that question, let’s startwith a very brief look at how the Alumni Society looked in its early years, and thensee how it evolved over time.BeginningsFrom the beginning, the mission of the Alumni Society has been to foster a senseof friendship among the graduates of the school and to promote the welfare of theAcademy. By the time formal by-laws were recorded in 1890, membership was brokendown into three categories: Active Members, Life Members, and HonoraryMembers. Active Members were defined as “such persons as have been pupils ofthe Academy, have been approved and elected by the Board of Managers, and havepaid to the Treasurer the entrance fee provided by these By-Laws.” The entrancefee was one dollar and annual dues were two dollars. For a fee of $25, one couldbecome a Life Member. At the time, the by-laws were first amended in 1916, therewere 360 Active Members and 27 Life Members of the Alumni Society. Today, thereare no fees for membership and there are over 4,400 alumni for whom the Academyhas valid contact information, making them “active alumni.”The 2006-2007 Episcopal Academy Alumni Society Board of Managers (from l to r): Loyd Pakradooni ’65,Karl Mayro ’84, Sarah Baker ’01, Rich Crockett ’82, Win Lippincott ’99, Ed Jones ’87, Jim Blatchford ’49,Charlie Ogelsby ’63, Anna (Morgan) Cassidy ’94, John Hodge ’62, Tom Farrell ’92, and Pete Duncan ’53. Notpictured: Fred Dittmann ’71, Rex Gary ’73, Charlie Moleski ’89, Brant Singley ’80, and Bruce Walsh ’86.The Role of the SocietyEarly on, there were several very specificroles that the Alumni Society playedwithin the Episcopal Community. Interestingly,they all seemed to revolvearound either directly raising moneyfor the Academy or creating endowmentopportunities. Examples of theseinclude the establishment of the AlumniPrizes in Greek, Latin, English, andMathematics, a tradition that continuesto this day. The Alumni Society lookedfor ways to upgrade facilities and proposedpurchasing rowing machines forthe school’s gymnasium. When it wasdetermined by the trustees in the early1880’s that the Academy should have a$50,000 endowment, it was the AlumniSociety that was charged with raisingthese funds. About this same time, theAlumni Society was given the opportunityto nominate members to the Boardof Trustees. This is another traditionthat continues today, with three Alumnitrustees serving staggered terms atany given time. (Today’s Alumni trusteesare Rick Northrup ’70, Katie KurzMcComb ’95, and Henry Nassau ’72.)When the Inter-Ac League was formedin 1887, each participating school paidan annual “rent” of $250 for the use ofshared athletic fields. These funds werepaid by the Alumni Society. When theschool was facing financial difficultiesin 1918, it was proposed that the AlumniSociety pay the pension of retiredHeadmaster Dr. William Klapp, andalso the interest on the mortgage on theschool building (at Juniper and Locust).Eventually the Alumni Society mergedits own separate endowment with theAcademy’s: $51,000 was turned over tothe school in October of 1919, followedby another $14,000 in 1920. It wouldappear that these funds were directlyrelated to the dues paid by Society members,and one could make the argumentthat these dues were early predecessorsto Annual Giving, although they werea requirement for membership in theSociety, while Annual Giving is clearlydone voluntarily.Today’s Alumni SocietyToday, as it was 100 years ago, theAlumni Society is governed by a Boardof Managers. Charlie Ogelsby ’63 is thecurrent President of the Board of Man-22 C o n n e c t i o n s

agers and is serving the second yearof his two-year term. Members of theBoard of Managers are elected by theAlumni Society each year to three-yearstaggered terms, to which they are limitedto two consecutive terms (unlessthey are serving on the Steering Committeeand can serve a third term). Onbehalf of the Alumni Society, the Boardof Managers oversees the presentationof academic awards at graduation, thecoveted gold charms for Inter-Ac Championshipteams, and the Bishop WilliamWhite Award voted by faculty for outstandingservice by a teacher each year.Members of the Board of Managersare active in the selection process forthe Athletic Hall of Fame as well as theAlumni Awards (Distinguished Alumnus/a,Distinguished Service, etc.).The Board of Managers works withthe Alumni Office to plan and executeevents like EA/Haverford/Agnes IrwinWeekend, the Alumni Awards Dinner,which falls on the Saturday evening ofthat weekend, and of course, the AlumniSociety Golf Invitational played inearly September every year. The Boardof Managers also works with the AlumniOffice to engage current students,mostly juniors and seniors, through aseries of special events that include CollegeDay and the ever-popular CareerDay. This teamwork between the Boardof Managers and the Alumni Office isalso evident in Alumni sports eventssuch as Alumni soccer and field hockeyover Thanksgiving Weekend, Alumnisquash and water polo over the winter,and Alumni lacrosse and tennis on EA/GA Day. Finally, the Board of Managersis proudly sponsoring the developmentof a commemorative picture book thatwill detail the Academy’s move fromPhiladelphia to Merion, and westwardonce again to Newtown Square.Since it combined its original endowmentfund with the school’s endowmentin the early 1920’s, the Society has onceagain raised its own funds. The AlumniSociety funds pay for the awards that itpresents, for the events it hosts for currentstudents, and to cover any shortfallwith major events like the Awards Dinner.The Golf Invitational is the Society’sonly annual fundraiser. The Society isobviously still quite active in cultivatingcamaraderie and friendship amongfellow alumni, and through the alumniclass agent structure helps raise fundsfor the school through Annual Giving.This latter process is critical to theAcademy in helping boost both the absolutedollars that alumni contribute toEpiscopal, but also the percentage oftheir participation (a figure often usedby foundations as a yardstick for funding).The Board of Managers also recognizesthe critical nature of the currentenvironment for Episcopal and its fundraisingneeds, both for Annual Givingand for the Capital Campaign, and isanxious to do its part in promoting thefinancial welfare of the school. As theAlumni Society develops its strategyto help Episcopal meet its current andfuture fundraising goals, it is in fact returningto the roots of its very existence.As with any great educational institutional,Episcopal’s alumni represent thefoundation on which current and futuresuccess can, and will, be built.Alumni Web Portal LaunchedOnline directory, class notes highlight new service for alumsSince the launch of the new passwordprotectedAlumni Portal earlier thissummer, hundreds of alumni havebeen in touch with the Alumni Officeto update their information and inquire aboutclassmates and friends.
