  • The Newark Public Schools Historical Preservation Committee MISSION
    The Newark Public Schools Historical Preservation Committee MISSION The Newark Public Schools Historical Preservation Committee is a 501 (c)(3) organization formed in 2009 to chronicle the district’s rich heritage by preserving its documents, artifacts and school buildings. It is our intention to share the history of the Newark Public Schools with students and the greater com- munity at a permanent historic site. This Distinguished Alumni Directory is the first in a series of publications that we hope will help to inform and instill a sense of pride in our Newark history. 1 NEWARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI The Newark Public School District Historical Preservation Committee GOALS ≈ To establish a policy and guidelines for the preservation and archiving of historically valuable artifacts of the Newark Public Schools. ≈ To establish repositories within the schools for the col- lection and preservation of valuable documents and materials relating to the history of the school district which otherwise would be lost. ≈ To develop and keep current a chronology of significant events in the Newark Public Schools. ≈ To identify and nominate public schools for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. ≈ To establish a permanent Newark Public Schools museum. ≈ To have students become involved with the archiving and chronicling process. To develop collaborative work- ing relationships with alumni associations and other preservation organizations. 2 NEWARK PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTINGUISHED ALUMNI JANET LIPPMAN ABU-LUGHOD (Weequahic/1945) (1928–2013) Urban sociologist; expert on the history and dynamics of the World System and Middle Eastern cities; taught for twenty years at Northeastern; retired in 1988 as professor of sociology and historical research on the Gradu- ate Faculty of the New School for Social Research; her thirteen books include the classic work: Cairo: 100 Years of the City Victorious.

  • Always Talk to Strangers
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF C. Nathan Buck for the degree of Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing presented on April 20, 2005. Title: Always Talk to Strangers Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Marjorie Sandor Always Talk to Strangers contains the first seven chapters to a novel. The novel focuses on the friendship between Amanda and Maria, two fourteen-year-old girls who are experiencing their last summer before high school in Madison, Wisconsin. Their friendship is a complicated one: Maria was kidnapped four years ago, the same sunmier that Amanda's father abandoned Amanda and her mother. These best friends must deal with various forms of loss: the loss of sexual innocence, the loss or "reinterpretation" of traditional father figures, the loss of believing in that ever elusive "happily ever after." The relationships in Always Talk to Strangers often grow and transform through subtle psychic undercurrents. Many thoughts and feelings of sadness, hope, and betrayal travel between the characters not through words but through body language and the innate understanding that we all carry our pasts with us. Our pasts, indeed, haunt us like ghosts: Amanda and Maria don't often verbally discuss the kidnapping or Amanda's father; Amanda and her mother don't discuss theman they've both lost, or their respective problems with marijuana and alcohol abuse; Amanda's mother and grandmother don't discuss their different religious and spiritual belief systems. Always Talk to Strangers is, in the end, a coming-of-age novel that shows us we are all composed of contradicting emotions and desires.

  • Paradise Pier California Screamin’
    05_559702_part5.qxd 7/23/04 11:40 AM Page 182 Part Five Disney’s California Adventure A Brave New Park The Walt Disney Company’s newest theme park, Disney’s California Adventure, held its grand opening on February 8, 2001. Already known as “DCA” among Disneyphiles, the park is a bouquet of contradictions conceived in Fantasyland, starved in utero by corporate Disney, and born into a hostile environment of Disneyland loyalists who believe they’ve been handed a second-rate theme park. The park is new but full of old technology. Its parts are stunningly beautiful, yet come together awk- wardly, failing to comprise a handsome whole. And perhaps most lamen- table of all, the California theme is impotent by virtue of being all-encompassing. The history of the park is another of those convoluted tales found only in Robert Ludlum novels and corporate Disney. Southern California Dis- ney fans began clamoring for a second theme park shortly after Epcot opened at Walt Disney World in 1982. Although there was some element of support within the Walt Disney Company, the Disney loyal had to content themselves with rumors and half-promises for two decades while they watched new Disney parks go up in Tokyo, Paris, and Florida. For years, Disney teasingly floated the “Westcot” concept, a California version of Epcot that was always just about to break ground. Whether a matter of procrastination or simply pursuing better opportunities elsewhere, the Walt DisneyCOPYRIGHTED Company sat on the sidelines while MATERIAL the sleepy community of Anaheim became a sprawling city and property values skyrocketed.

  • Copyright By- David Henry Jennings
    Copyright by- David Henry Jennings 1959 PRESIDENT WILSON'S TOUR IN SEPTEMBER, 1919: A STUDY OF FORCES OPERATING DURING THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS FIGHT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University t By DAVID HENRY JENNINGS, B. A ., A. M. ****** The Ohio State University 1958 Approved by A dviser Department of History PREFACE In view of the many articles and books occasioned by the recent Wilson Centennial and the current in te re st in American foreign policy, it is, indeed, surprising to note that no full length study of Wilson's transcontinental tour of September, 1919 exists. Present publication on the western trip is confined to individual chapters of longer works and b rief general essays.^ A communication from Arthur S. Link indicates that this topic w ill not receive extended coverage in his future volumes on Woodrow Wilson. The status of research indicates the need for a more complete account of the "Swing Around the Circle" than has hitherto been presented. It is hoped that this dissertation meets this need. The other major contribution of this thesis lies in the field of evaluation. The analysis of Wilson's "New Order" attempts to make a significant clarifi­ cation and synthesis in a relatively neglected area. The study, also, endeavors to identify the forces at work and appraise their effect on the League of Nations debate in September, 1919. Because present day opinion inclines toward the view that the transcontinental tour was a mistake, extended examination is undertaken to see why Wilson should have gone on the trip and why the tour failed.
