From The Headmaster . . . Douglas O. McClure

The fact that Princeton Day School has the largest enrollment of any independent school in the state of New Jersey has been widely publicized recently. Un­ doubtedly this is significant in many ways. I must confess, however, that to some degree my reaction to this piece of information involves a touch of skepti­ cism. The size of a school certainly influences what takes place in it. The variety and flexibility of its program, the pattern of the school’s daily life, the attitudes of students — all reflect and are shaped by the number of individuals who make up the school community. To point out that Princeton Day School has 806 students, nonetheless, does not really say very much about the school for two reasons. In the first place, Princeton Day School is not only one school situated on a single lovely campus and housed in one physical plant. It is also and most im­ portantly three small schools in one, each with a style and a life of its own. While there is constant inter­ change between the lower, middle, and upper schools these very real and worthwhile accomplishments, but — and to the extent that it is possible to do so we I do want to suggest that there is something more attempt to coordinate and relate what takes place in that needs to be singled out for consideration.

1 Herbert McAneny, A Teacher for

“It’s a job for a younger man,” he is quoted as saying when being considered for the headmastership of the new school, and served instead as senior member of the committee, developing policy, school philosophy and, for the first time in his career, administering a co-educational school. He tackled large problems and complained amusedly about little ones (“Can’t ANYONE date a memo?”), taught English and directed plays. “I’ve known him for about 35 years, and he hasn’t changed one iota. H e’s very fond of the kids, but he’s a dignified person — and the kids soon learn that he is someone who can give them something.” When Douglas O. McClure was installed as head­ master at PDS, Mr. McAneny turned his energies to the Upper School as assistant headmaster. Through the intuitive leadership that is his hallmark, he and the faculty were well on the way to achieving as co­ hesive a unit of teenagers as may be found in this generation, when Sanford Bing arrived to continue his work. In this last year or so, he has subsided with apparent pleasure into teaching 8th grade English and directing memorable school plays. “ W hen I first knew Herbert, he was a student at the Riverdale School, up along the Hudson there. I ad­ mired him as Casius in “ Julius Caesar” and as Poobah in “The Mikado." He was Head Boy of the school in his senior year, 1919, which was quite an honor . . ” After graduating from Riverdale, he attended Wil­ Teacher liams College, where he was active in Cap and Bells. He was a graduate student in literature at Oxford for Reprinted from Town Topics, two years and in London met his wife, Marguerite, a Thursday, June 17, 1971 Barnard alumna who held a fellowship in literature at the Sorbonne.

He wasn’t striding the sidelines, screaming at you, but you wanted to put out for the guy.” Always, and above all, a teacher, Mr. McAneny was also assistant headmaster and headmaster of Country Day School.

Oct. 19 — Big doings out in the backwoods today. The Province Line Road Gang holds a pumpkin hunt in honor of its aging president, Jackson Sloan; the Plains- boro Perch and Pickerel Picnic Club celebrates the birthday of game warden, Guy Dean, with a fish fry and outdoor spelling bee; while the Carter Road Cut­ throat Club honors its founder, John Tassie, by hold­ ing up a mail-truck and stealing all the stamps off the envelopes.

March 27 — Bobby Fernholz born. How he has lived all these years without blowing himself up is a scientific mystery. March 2 — Jobe Stevens born, with a tiny pair of ice skates on his itsy-bitsy feet. It was only to be expected that in 1933 Mr. McAneny would be a founding member of the Community Play­ ers, along with Richard Field, Dr. Sinclair, Donald Clive Stuart and B.

For several years the school has had boys and girls in the National Science Founda­ tion program at the Behavioral Science Institute at Western Michigan University. That program, delight­ fully described in the Autumn, 1970 Journal by Ellen Prebluda 72, this year took two more of this year’s seniors, Anne Robinson and Giovanni Ferrante. Not only did they enjoy it thoroughly, the institute was sufficiently impressed to offer each of them posts as laboratory assistants next vear. Ellen, who attended the Institute after her sophomore year, this year con­ tinued her summer studies at the Weizman Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel.

Mrs. Moyne Smith’s second book 7 Platjs and How to Produce Them, first published in 1968 by Walke, has recently been reissued, by the same publisher, in paper­ back. Moyne’s first book was titled Plays and How to Megapenny — Alive and Well Put Them On, and was also re-published in Braille.

The Megapenny spirit, almost shattered when thieves all but emptied the huge Megapenny box one July weekend, was happily revived two days before school opened when an anonymous donor handed Headmaster Douglas O. McClure a check with which to replace the stolen coins. The not-so-penny-ante robbers took 130,000 of the 136,000 pennies collected bv June, leav­ ing just a few on the floor of the box to deceive the few people in the building during the summer. Police investigations so far have proved fruitless, but spirit once again runs high as all 130,000 coppers were re­ placed on a joyful day in September. Total now is nearing 170,000 pennies, well on the way to the million- pennv goal. The school lobby has been renamed “Penny Lane” by Co-Chairmen Conni Cain and Lit Lvness.

The children usually involve the visitor in a math game or quickly say ‘‘You want to hear me read a story?” More often than not, when the visitor leaves it is with the promise “I’ll be back soon.” Suppose you did return to second grade for a while, not just as a visitor but as an actively involved member of our class? (Going back to school, incidentally, is just what we teachers have done in order to really understand the organization and proper use of equip­ ment in an informal classroom.) What would you find?

If you are one of the thirty-two children in the class this year you will find your homeroom is a large area (the wall between the two second grades was removed in November, 1970) with no desks or set seating ar­ rangements, instead round tables with colorful chairs. You do have a “cubbie” and locker assigned for your books, sneaks and other personal things. But you find you’re not forgotten even if you don’t have a desk! You’ll also find you have two teachers instead of one, and that either one is always busy trying to help you. Sometimes you will work with one and, at other times, with the other. Your class is divided into two groups, “W e’ve gotten quieter while we work since the but this is for the purpose of outside activities such beginning of the year.

The children in our class have lots of questions — millions, in fact — but so do we teachers. What should the teacher’s role be in an informal class such as ours? Sybil Marshall’s comments in The Red Paper are apt: “To control a class in freedom, to learn with each child instead of instructing a passive class, is the most exhausting way of doing a teacher’s job.”2 Jack Walton in The Integrated Day in Theory and Practice sums

Are there times when we two wish we had our in­ dividual classrooms back, where we could close the door and be alone with sixteen children? Emphatically "No”! We believe strongly in reasons for creating an in­ formal classroom, and we believe there are many benefits for pupils and teachers alike. Because there are two of us each child is regarded in two ways. This certainly is What is the best approach with a new group of beneficial, for the child also learns to relate to more thirty-two children — and two of us? Our answer has than one teacher. As teachers we are checks on one been to start with quite a bit of structure, set firm another, we reinforce each other, and w^e are able to limits on behavior, and gradually become more in­ gain different perspectives. John Holt, in How Children formal.

By find­ teaching and observing the same group of kids, think­ ing what interests each of them most, we are able to ing and talking to each other about w'hat they see get to know them as individuals as soon as possible. and hear.”5 One might question whether individualized work doesn’t lead to chaos in the classroom. We simply know this does not have to happen. We also know it does take a certain initial adjustment period when necessary rules and routines must be learned (know­ ing where materials are stored, what choices actually are open to the children, and so on), but gradually, as they begin to accept their share of responsibility, the classroom atmosphere begins to jell by settling down to “quiet talking and work-related movement.” As the children become more and more self-regulating and more freedom of movement is accepted, the work periods become extended. The children learn to pace themselves so they can move as fast as they are able. Lore Rasmussen points out: “Allowing pupils to choose some of their learning tasks enables the teacher to observe a child’s particular interest, gives the teacher an insight into pupils’ own estimating abilities . . . . The child learns at an early age that he himself has the major responsibility for his learning and his prog­ ress.”4 13 The following quotation, from a dissertation sub­ mitted to the Harvard Graduate School of Education by Roland S. Barth (who, incidentally, taught briefly at PCD) expresses our thoughts well: “Open education is a way of thinking about children, about learning and about knowledge; it is character­ ized bv openness .... Doors are ajar, children come and go in space within school and out. Classrooms are open and the children bring objects of interest out. Space in the open classroom is not pre-empted by desks and chairs organized in rows or in any other way. There is a variety of space filled with a variety of materials. Children move in this openness from place to place, from activity to activity. Both the world inside and out­ side the school are accessible to them. Space is fluid and changes with changing needs. The curriculum is open . . . open to choice by adults and by the children as a function of the interests of the children. The cur­ riculum is the dependent variable dependent on the child, rather than the independent variable upon which the child must depend.”7 Another view of our informal class comes from our Upper School assistants who, by the way, take favorably to the fascinating materials and the atmosphere of free­ dom. “I like this classroom technique very much,” says It is also our aim to try to teach our children to be one. “This is mainly because of the freedom and in­ independent, responsible, self-directed individuals. dependence that is given the kids. It introduces the It makes us feel good when parents tell us their children to what Middle School and the future are children are happy with us.

We know, however, that it is not the only way — “We have a big classroom. We have a mouse one dide. i like ar Teachers she’s nise. there is no only wav.

was slightly slowed by a 2 - 0 loss to Rutgers Prep and a 0-0 tie with Hun, the team bounced back to a 1-0 win over Peddie and expects more success in the future. Cross Country has proved to be one of the strongest varsity sports this fall despite an inauspicious beginning. The team lost the opener to Montclair 23 - 38, though senior Dick Huber, first for PDS, managed to finish second overall. In the second contest, Coach John Saladino was faced with the problem of replacing senior Alec Laughlin who was side-lined by illness. Senior Paul Funk, a member of the varsity football team, was chosen, and all he did was set a new course record in leading PDS to a 22 - 39 victory over Wardlaw! Captain Artie M ittnacht placcd first in a 24 - 38 victory over Pennington Prep and also in a 15-50 humiliation of Gill School. With Mittnacht and Huber sharing first place in an 18 - 44 victory over Rutgers Prep, cross country records stand at 4 - 1 at this stage of the season. The PDS varsity football team is considerably changed from the one that went 5-2-1 last year. However, despite dire predictions from some quarters, the school has fielded a team that is developing more and more respectabilitv as it grows in maturity. An almost entirely new coaching staff is led by Mr. George Conway, assisted bv Mr. Graham Cragg, the onlv coach remaining from last season, Mr. John Boneparth and During the 1971 spring season, all the boys’ varsity Mr. Charles Simpson.

Despite this handicap, the team finished the year with a 9 - 4 record and reached the Penn-Jersey playoffs. On Saturday, May 21, the Panthers faced their nemesis, Hun School, and lost 5 - 0. This event, however, could not overshadow the manv fine clutch performances of the season. Varsity' Lacrosse compiled a tremendous 8-4 record and even had the satisfaction of defeating a Hun team 6 - 2. Co-Captains Tim Smith and Tom Worthington were awarded All State Honorable Mention. The boys’ Varsity tennis team also won the Penn Jersey Title along with seven of their eight matches. The only loss came at the hands of Princeton High, 2 - 3. PDS finished second in the Penn Jersey Championships. This fall, soccer, sporting a new teacher-coach, Mr. Peter Buttenheim, got off to a rousing start in the early stages of the season. Easily taking the first two scrim­ mages, the Varsity went on to win its first three games, beating Wardlaw 4-0, King School 5-1 and Delbarton 3-2 in overtime. Sophomore David Straut was one of the outstanding performers in these games, scoring two goals in each of them. Although their momentum
