6 Foxcroft Academy Alumnus Alumni Weekend 2008

Former Trustee Orville Lanpher Honored

Family members of Orville Lanpher, FA Trustee from 1949 – 1972 were in attendance at the Alumni Banquet to honor their father’s years of trusteeship by presenting a Foxcroft Academy chair to the Trustees. Being a trustee at Foxcroft Academy meant a lot to “Orvie”. He took the position very seriously and believed that the students’ best interests always came first. He served on the building committee that led the construction of the main academic building financed by Louis Oakes and alumni. The chair was inscribed with a nameplate noting Orville’s years of service.

Class of 1958 50th Reunion Eighteen classmates and spouses enjoyed a potluck supper at the home of Betty Green Ellis on Friday night of Alumni Weekend. About 12 people rode the 50th float and wore special 50th reunion T-shirts created by Elaine Small Curnow. Ken Smith’s flatbed trailer was used for the float and the music of Maurice Littlefield was played as they moved down West Main Street. Twelve classmates attended the Alumni Banquet and six were at brunch the next morning. The class also put together a great reunion booklet.

Duane Crabtree and Joan Brewster Garniss were instrumental in creating the Class of 1958 Endowed Fund (see details on page 2). Thank you to class members of 1958 for your generosity.

Foreign Language

Students may find themselves cooking up a crepe, building a catapult, tracing Chinese characters, or celebrating Cinco de Mayo in any one of the many popular classes offered in Foxcroft Academy’s Department of World Languages. Today, many Foxcroft students speak several languages, have traveled abroad, or come to Foxcroft from abroad. This year, the Academy is home to speakers of seven languages-- some of which are offered in the department--adding a unique and special dynamic to classroom conversation.

When Foxcroft Academy opened its doors in 1823, studies included Latin and Greek along with the “modern” language French. German, Spanish and Italian were added later. Today, the Academy encourages students to major in less-commonly taught languages such as Chinese, a language spoken by one-fifth of the world population, the equivalent of more than one billion people. This is one small, but important step toward preparing graduates to live in a rapidly shrinking world.
