Tiles live on

During the renovation of the Head of School house, the tiles surrounding the kitchen fireplace were carefully lifted from the mortar by David Jones of our Facilities Department (who did much of the renovations himself) prior to the fireplace removal. The tiles were collected and given to Westtown’s Archives, with the exception of a few that were selected for a wall hanging to return to the Head of School house. Archivist Mary Brooks documented the history of the tiles, and a brass plate was placed on the back of the wall hanging with the following information:

These tiles were created by Ellen “Pooh” Brown ’38 as part of a larger group that surrounded a kitchen fireplace in the new Head of School house in 1976. The tiles reflected Westtown, Quaker education, and the Harrison family— original occupants of the house—and were installed by Ellen herself.

04 The Westonian Magazine THE GENDER QUESTION: Tradition and Evolution

When I was a Westtown student in the ’90s, Girls Collection was one of my favorite parts of the day. The sense of community was palpable during those 15 minutes. We sang silly songs, competed to see who could make the best birthday announcements, and pulled together as we absorbed news events in the pre-Internet era. Early in my tenure as a faculty member, I jumped at the opportunity to help shepherd Girls Collection because I believed so much in this tradition.

A WESTTOWN ANCHOR: Patti DiGiacomo ’69

In October, 2016, Patti DiGiacomo retired after a 34-year working -ca reer at Westtown. But her Westtown life began long before that. Born to Westtown science and wood shop teacher Burdette Bernard and Edith Kelsey Bernard, Patti grew up on Westtown’s campus. She and her sisters were all “lifers” at Westtown and she graduated in 1969. In 1972, she married Bob DiGiacomo in the school’s Greenwood amphitheater; both of their daughters, Kerry ’93 and Kristy ’97, are Westtown alumni as well. After graduating from Westtown, Patti attended Lynchburg College where she earned a B.S. in math. Patti returned to Westtown in 1983, this time as MIDDLE SCHOOL ROBOTICS secretary to the Dean of Students. She held various Westtown School hosted the FIRST Lego positions during her tenure and was promoted to League (FLL) Robotics regional qualifier in Upper School Office Supervisor in 2004, a position December.

People of Color/ Student Diversity Leadership Conferences Several faculty members and students attended the People of Color Conference (PoCC) and its parallel con- ference Student Diversity Leadership Conference (SDLC), and Marissa Colston, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Westtown, co-presented a PoCC session entitled “Asleep to Woke: Impact of White Racial Identity on Colleagues of Color in the Workplace.” The workshop covered the “skill sets needed to navigate dialogues between people of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.” Colston reports, “The PoCC is a unique conference that is designed for the thousands of educators of color that work in Independent Schools across the country. In predominantly white spaces, educators of color are one of a few representatives of their racial group and are often called on to educate colleagues or support students of color even when that isn’t their assigned job. While many do so willingly and with grace, it can add stress to one’s workload. So the opportunity to convene at PoCC with other colleagues of color is a vital lifeline and wellspring of renewal that I and other participants welcome. We learn new tools and exchange ideas that can strength- en a school’s community goals of justice and equity for all.” Colston adds that highlights were presentations by best-selling author Ta’Nehisi Coates and civil rights advocate and scholar Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw. “I left renewed professionally and personally so that I can continue to help lead the work of diversity and inclusion at Westtown.” Westtown students attended the Student Diversity Leadership Conference, a companion to the PoCC.

Sixth grade teacher Lisa Cromley and Alicia Zeoli, Innovation Specialist, have built an English curriculum around the book A Long Walk to Water, by Linda Sue Park, about a Sudanese refugee. Students kept a record of the main character’s needs and created personal empathy maps in which captured the refugees’ words, needs, perceived feelings, and thoughts as they read the book. In order to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the refugee experience, they read nonfiction articles about refugees in other time periods and parts of the world.

Learn more about the Arts at westtown.edu/arts

The Arts Gallery The performing arts came late to our campus and music, theater, and dance were not a part of early Westtown life in a curricular manner. Music crept in rather slowly over the course of the 20th century. By the 1950s the arts were becoming integrated in the lives of students. Shakespeare in the Greenwood and music in the South Room gave way to the creation of a theater in the area that is now the Main Hall link apartments, and then eventually the Arts Center. Today, the vibrant performing arts program touches the lives of all of our students. Visit the theater lobby for a new display that high- lights this history.

SPRING 2018 11 1936 Past is Prologue The education of younger children had been part of Westtown for many years prior, but the creation of a three room schoolhouse in 1936 along the lane (on the foundation of an old barn) firmly established Lower School’s presence at Westtown. In this new setting, the school continued in the “spirit of a large family” in which children were encouraged to “widen horizons” and “create new interests”—in addition to acquiring a foundation in traditional subjects. Shop class was a regular activity for students as young as first and second grades, including these children who were making birdhouses in 1936. Shop class has been replaced by (among other things) projects in the iLab in Lower School, a dedicated design thinking space for students. Design thinking combines the subjective inquiry of the humanities, the truth-seeking of the sciences, the creative and open-ended investigation of art and engineering, and empathy. iLab projects like designing communities or building model homes to learn about electricity and circuitry have supplanted birdhouse making, but through projects like these children continue to widen their horizons.

Teacher Tim Loose developed the Campus Ecology course that, as its name implies, utilized the campus as a labora- tory. It was more than a return to study of the natural world surrounding students; it was the first course to incorporate environmentalism. A few years later, Loose and Barry Feierman created the Environmental Science course which, in addition to covering traditional topics in the Earth sciences, also introduced a more specific focus on how human activities impact the environment. In the 1980s, in response to a growing trend in the United States toward Advancement Placement (AP) classes, Loose and teacher Jan Long created Westtown’s first Advanced Placement class in biology. Advanced Placement courses in physics and chemistry would be added to the curriculum in subsequent years. In the early 1990s, Westtown was in At work in the the vanguard of schools that piloted the chemistry and research labs Physics First program.

Dickie Jenkins A Model Coach

STORY BY KRIS BATLEY ’81 • PHOTOS COURTESY OF WESTTOWN SCHOOL ARCHIVES + THE JENKINS FAMILY

In 1964, Dickie’s field hockey teams set a record: for the first time in the school’s history, both the varsity and junior varsity teams were undefeated in the same year. By 1967, the New Zealand Championship hockey team played the “all college team” at Westtown, and several of the top field hockey teams in the world had played exhibition games on campus. In 1968, a game between the Brandywine team and the Dutch touring team attracted 28 busloads of players and a crowd of nearly 1,800 people! Dickie and Ray had a home near Westtown, off of Carroll Brown Way, where they raised their children, Dan Jenkins ’70, Tori Jenkins ’72, Carol Jenkins Blackmore ’76, and Spencer Jenkins. Known for her gentle composure, even temper, dedication, and desire to be the best that you can be, Teacher Dickie was much admired. Mary Ann Baker Wagner ’58 remembers that Dickie was, “A very special woman in the athletic department for girls. She was young and fun and very patient with people like me who really were not particularly athletic! She and her husband, Ray, were the young married couple on campus, and they were both wonderful role models for students.” Mary Victoria “Dickie” Taylor Jenkins arrived at West- Teacher Dickie coached girls’ field hockey and lacrosse for 18 town in 1957 with her husband, Ray Jenkins ’44.

Even winter recreation provides opportunity for action- based learning. Not only did students in the 1800s experience the thrill of coasting down the snowy hills of Westtown, but at times the boys were involved in designing, building, and maintaining the sleds. Samuel Leeds Allen (1841–1918), a student at Westtown from 1852 to 1853, recalled that one sled he rode had a defect in the shape of the runner which he “obtained permission to endeavor to remedy in the carpenter shop.” As an adult, he worked again on sled design and was awarded a patent for the Flexible Flyer in 1889, the sled of choice for these Westtown students in 1941 (with teacher Dorothy Gould keeping a watchful eye).
