1 SENIOR PROJECTS: Learning Beyond The Classroom ______

For over 20 years PDS has offered seniors an opportunity to explore the own. While there is some feeling that the fourth quarter projects fragment the world through independent projects. During the fourth quarter, they may class and leave seniors with an individual rather than group experience in pursue special interests in academic or professional areas, gaining experience their last year at PDS, there is much to be gained from this introduction to that can he invaluable in determining the direction of their college studies and “real life."

Chris Overman: Internship at Gilles­ pie Advertising Agency My senior project was an internship at Gillespie Advertising Inc. working with (my boss) Steve DiPietro as his helper. Working at Gillespie taught me so much about real life and the job world. During my six-week stay I expe­ rienced the numerous amounts of ups and downs in business such as a person being fired, management meetings, budget reports and long lunches. It gave me the ability to see a project go from start to finish and taught me about the daily rituals which a regular businessman or woman goes through each day.

Our "live songlist," or songs which we performed at concerts, was much too long for a 45-minute album. After our performances, we,decided to cut our "album songlist" to eight songs. One of these was an original, written by Greg Eckelman, three of the songs were our own arrangements of pre­ viously written songs and four were cover versions which involved our own improvisation. The studio was a completely new experience for me. It is called Skylab and is owned by Dan Skye who teaches guitar at PDS. I didn't really know what such terms like "overdubbing,"or "mix­ ing" or "doubling" really meant.

5 ART PROGRAM DRAWS OUT BEST IN STUDENTS

"All children make art, and what looks like spontaneous play is also the serious business of learning about the world — learning to perceive, to distinguish, to organize, to form concepts, to express, to understand. Art teaches us to see actively, to see into and to structure what we see, to think with our eyes. . . . It is the visible manifestation of thought." Jon J. Murray Daedalus: The Journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences

By 1976 Arlene Smith became con­ vinced that something needed to be done and she set out to find a way to do it. She had dreams of how the gallery should look and enlisted the aid of Gary Lott, who teaches history and a popular spring watercolor class, to draw up plans for new doors. The finished plans were shown to Headmaster Doug McClure and the Board of Trustees.

10 RANDY MELVILLE ADDRESSES FACULTY______

Randy Melville '77, winner of the 1989 Alumni Award, entertained everyone at Alumni Day with a marvelous acceptance speech. On September 5th he was kind enough to return to school to address the faculty and staff at their opening faculty meeting. His remarks are reprinted below.

By way of background, most of you know I was blessed by being able to attend this school from grades 10-12. However, prior to that, I attended pub­ lic schools in Trenton. I would like to take you back in time to ninth grade, year of 1973. The class was social stu­ dies. (Don't ask me what social studies was, because I still don't know.) The number of students in the class was about 33-37. It was a hot spring day four to six weeks prior to school recess. One of my best friends, Skip, was in this class with me and, consequently, I enjoyed this class and did rather well. Skip, on the other hand, had a talent for doing other things (that will go name­ less), and this was not his favorite class. One day, our teacher decided in lieu of a final exam he would ask you one ques­ tion that would, in part, determine your final grade. Simple enough. He asked Sk ip .. .he didn't k n o w ...

November 1989

Dear Alumni:

We're about to enter a very exciting period in the history of Princeton Day School. September 1990 will mark 25 years since the school opened its doors on the Great Road. By the end of the decade, in 1999> we will celebrate both the 75th anniversary of Princeton Country Day School and the 100th anniversary of Miss Fine's School.

To commemorate these milestones, we have commissioned a history of the three schools. Local author and historian William K. Selden has generously offered his services to research and write the book. It will include interviews with alumni, faculty and students, an overview of Princeton's educational heritage and many of our wonderful old photographs.

We need your help to make this project a success. We are counting on your memories as well as your memorabilia. We would be very grateful for any anecdotes you might share with us or for any photographs you could give or loan to the school.

There will be several celebrations beginning in 1990-1991 to which you will be invited. For those events we also will be counting on you to help bring the past alive.

This is a good opportunity to sift through those boxes in the attic! If you can help, please contact the alumni office at 609-924-6700. We are eager to chronicle our rich heritage from 1899 to the present. You are the best resource we have.

Sincerely, LxxxdcSA- Linda Maxwell Stefanelli '62 Alumni Director ALUMNI NEWS
