PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL

Celebrating Alumni

s I reflect on my first year at Princeton Day School I am in awe of the commitment both our faculty and alumni have shown to this institution and the broader community. The attacks on September 11th have called both alumni and staff members to service. In this issue we honor the men and women who serve in our nation's military. You will read their stories and learn of their devotion to serving our country. This calls us to consider how fragile life is. Everything can change at any given moment. As you will see, what they learned as students at Princeton Day School during their formative years helped sustain them in their duties whether stationed here or abroad.

This Journal also highlights the emergency response teams. One of our staff members who supports our growing technology needs across all three school divisions as a computer technology specialist, recounts his impres­ sions of Ground Zero where he attended to the needs of others as a volunteer emergency medical technician. He has been contributing to this vital service in his community as a volunteer for the last ten years.

At the Athletic Hall of Fame ceremonies on Alumni Weekend in May, four outstanding athletes and two former directors of athletics will be inducted into our Hall of Fame. Their achievements embody the spirit of our athletic program, as well as highlight the personal excellence in their endeavors. Also that weekend, two outstanding alumni will receive this year’s alumni awards acknowledging their contributions: one for his service as a State Senator and the other for her achievements in molecular biology researching neurodegenerative diseases.

! hope in reading these pages you will be inspired by your fellow constitu­ ents. Spring is the season of new beginnings, a time of joy and renewal. As members of our PDS community, you can all attest to the philosophy of learning, appreciation for tradition, integrity and academic standards that are fostered here. I am proud to be part of the PDS tradition. PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES John P. Hall, Jr., Chairman Deborah Sze Modzelewski, Vice Chair C. Treby McLaughlin Williams ‘80, Vice Chair Jack Z.

DS Computer Technology Specialist Dean Acquaviva has been a volunteer Emergency Medical Technician for rhe past ten years. As an EMT he has witnessed and aided “first hand” many emergencies, though none of such magnitude as the attacks on the World Trade Center. In the following, he shares his account of working at Ground Zero with the Lawrence Township First Aid Squad in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Dean is certified as a CPR Instructor for both the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association. He has also trained in many related areas such as heavy rescue using hydraulic rescue tools, underwater search and recovery, high angle rescue (roped rescue), incident command (scene control and radio operation), Hazmat operations (hazardous materials), emergency vehicle operation, as well as many other specialty courses.

SPRING 2002 • PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL • 5 Strengthening the nation Four alumni in service to our country

N 1HE MIDST of the War on Terror are rhe brave men and women of the armed forces. The following alumni are currently serving in the United States military in various capacities. “9-11 served as a reminder of what this business is all about,” said B. Elliot Shuke 95, who is now a first lieutenant stationed in the army with the 8th Finance Battalion in Baumholder, Germany. He and his comrades followed the news of the attacks on the Internet, their fastest source of news on the base. “We huddled around the computer,” he said “to see what was happening.” But everybody knew. They are trained to recognize war when they see it. Elliot has served in Kosovo and will be deployed to Bosnia next year. Ensign Erin Belanger '96 is serving as Communications Officer aboard USS 1 1CONDEROGA, in Pascagola, Mississippi, where she is one of six women among 350 men aboard ship. She said that the response of our communities and our nation to the September 11th attacks “showed me that patriotism still lives.” 1st Lieutenant Won Kim ’90, had just settled into the 6th Communications Battalion in Brooklyn, last August, when the attacks began across the Hudson River. Like most, he was shocked to see the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on fire. Won, along with the other Marines in his battalion, had a roof-top view of the horror and devastation as smoke engulfed the skyline. 1 he days following the attacks “were very long” with many urgent tasks before them. Andrew Dean ’98, a midshipman in the Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps while completing a five-year college degree program at the University of Colorado, hopes to become a fighter pilot when he graduates. Andrew knows, first hand, the power and speed of an aircraft that roars and lifts into the sky in a mere seven seconds. He understands the rigors he will face in the military, having trained on ships, helicopters and submarines during his college summers. After a training stint below the surface in a submarine packed “When communities come with nuclear missiles, he appreciated what many of us might: the feel of the wind in our together and people serve face and the light of the moon. each other; it strengthens an entire nation.
