n Wednesday, September 6, students in grades nine through 12 began their first day at Winchester Thurston School in a state-of-the-art building that Oalso represents the school’s commitment to increasing enrollment and expanding its programming to make use of the resources of the City of Pittsburgh. The community marked this special day in WT history by following a tradition dating back to the school’s move in 1963 from quarters on Fifth Avenue to the current building. Students in grades one through 12 proceeded from the current building, each carrying a library book and delivering it to the new Upper School library, just as WT students did 43 years ago from the Fifth Avenue school to the 555 Morewood location. The procession was led by the WT bear mascot along with bagpipers, symbolic of the Scottish origins of the school’s founder, Mary A. Graham Mitchell. Current City Campus faculty and members of the Board of Trustees were also on hand for a brief ribbon cutting ceremony.

epresentatives from general contractor Massaro Corporation turned over the keys of the Upper School building on August 16, as planned—on time and on budget—and on RSeptember 6 the doors officially opened to the eager student occupants. “There was a great deal of joy in the air,” says independent construction manager Eric Harrison of the first day of school. Designed by the architectural firm of MacLachlan Cornelius & Filoni, the school features an inviting two-story library with vaulted ceiling, reading area with fireplace, computer suite, and group study rooms. The science wing contains four spacious laboratories and a solarium while eight humanities classrooms and a computer lab comprise the second floor. The ground floor bustles with activity as home to the student commons, classrooms for mathematics and music, and the Hilda Willis Room, an “intimate” arts/assembly space that seats 270. Eggplant-purple lockers and décor in rich shades of burgundy, coral, olive, gold, and lemon make the space “pop” with excitement and accentuate the cozy nooks and distinctively shaped rooms. Harrison, along with former board president Marty Powell and chairman of the Building and Grounds Committee Russell Boehner, provided key leadership throughout the planning and construction process. Director of Building and Grounds Robert Probst and his team managed the space-reallocation project between the two buildings and coordinated with ten additional independent contractors for things such as audio-visual and computer technology, security, telephones, furniture, and more. “We had a great deal of very respectful, very professional work on the part of the architect, the engineers, and the general contractor. I attribute this to the high regard that these three had for Winchester Thurston and its legacy. The school’s alums should be very proud of that fact,” says Harrison.

We took what we had and with a lot of creativity on the part of our teachers made it work. But having the Campus Center with its large all-purpose room, art room, music room, and kitchen has enhanced everything we’d already offered.” The large music room in the new building means that instruments are more readily accessible to students. The space also offers more possibilities for private lessons. The art room, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, is not only an area that inspires creativity, it houses the pottery kiln, which previously was not easily accessible. facility affords us a larger, safer space for games and physical While everyone is pleased with the new building, Sue education.

Because of the Campus Center’s kitchen, we could offer campers a hot lunch, and the multipurpose room gave us space for tennis, basketball, perfor- mances and dance classes, as well as rainy day alternatives.” “Our summer program was a great success,” says Moses. “The camps created a lot of buzz and excitement—not only about our programs but about our exceptionally beautiful North Hills Campus. People were saying that we have a gem of a school there that they didn’t know about.”

finkel Library It’s impossible not to feel completely comfortable in this inviting library dedicated to Middle School students. Located on the second floor, it is a result of the space reallocation in the Main Building. Here students gather to do research in the computer area; study; attend a special class, workshop, or club; or just relax with a good book.

Maybe it’s the flood of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Maybe it’s the rows and rows of neatly labeled bins of art supplies. Or maybe it’s beloved, long-time teacher Sally Allan that makes art classes at WT North so much fun. No child can resist the chance for self-expression—whether through drawing, painting, cutting, pasting, sculpting, or glazing—when it’s presented in such a wonderful, inspiring studio environment.

16 Thistletalk Winter 2007 North Pond Fed by a natural spring, the pond at WT North sustains various species of wildlife, provides educational opportunities for science classes, and graces the campus with year-round beauty. Especially during Science Visit Days, children from both North Hills and City Campuses enjoy hands-on learning doing experiments at the pond. With a sturdy dock, adjacent stone pond house equipped for study, and surrounding butterfly garden, it’s an invaluable outdoor science classroom. Both on-stage and behind- the-scenes, scores of students participate in the Middle School musical—and this year’s production of Bye Bye Birdie was no exception. The diligent stage crew spent weeks constructing the set and preparing the stage and props, and together with a talented cast they put on a brilliant show. Their collective efforts enrich both the Performing Arts Program and the Middle School experience, and generate abundant pride throughout the WT community. M iddle S chool usical

early 200 alumnae/i participated in reunion activities during the dedication N weekend, sitting in on classes on Friday and enjoying a reunion luncheon at the North Hills Campus on Saturday. Many classes were represented; almost half of the Class of ’66 attended their 40th reunion. This large attendance was fueled by a lively exchange of e-mails that crossed the country and even connected to a classmate now in Namibia. “The energy behind the wonderful response of our class began with a call to me from Kathy Class of 1956

Hepburn MacLean last April. She wanted to help organize the experience for us. The motivation on my part to help organize our class was, in a way, a tribute to my parents, who cared so much about our education at Winchester,” says Anne Parkin Pierpont ’66. “Both my sister and I went to WT from Kinder- garten through twelfth grade. I recognize the strength and the values that the school gave me that have been the foundation of so many things that I have done in my work. “What I have found through the e-mails that passed across the country is that people came back to see their friends. Now that the weekend is over, we all feel a sense of belonging and community, which is really what drew all of us back. People Class of 1976 were really excited about getting together! Our connections are even more solid now.” The 50th reunion class enjoyed a full weekend of activities that also included a luncheon hosted by Gary Niels. Consistent with their love of learning, the Class of ’56 invited their beloved teacher, Jean McCullough, to present a brief history lecture with slides. “Our 50th reunion was the best! The years and miles that separated us were erased as we reconnected during this special weekend. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world!” exclaimed Barbara Probst Roth ’56.

Honorary Alumna Pam Shaw, Honorary Alumna ’01, and former Associate Head of School at WT, was recently awarded a Klingenstein Visiting Fellowship at Columbia University for January 2007. The Klingenstein Visiting Fellowship gathers up to 20 Heads of School from across the world for two weeks of intensive study and reflection among professional peers.

Members of the Class of 1957, Sally Guy Stone-Worsing, Nancy Seip Krot, Anne Sauers Brassert, Carole Oswald Markus, Virginia Willey Birmingham, and Janie Arensberg Thompson are at work planning for their 50th reunion, scheduled for October 19-20, 2007. Not shown, Harriet Alder Feldman, who has been actively participating by phone from Connecticut.

Klingenstein Fellows complete a special project that focuses on a topic of interest specific to their schools. Pam will be studying best practices in governance that foster a board of trustees’ strategic, forward-thinking focus while providing effective, appropriate communication with other constituents in the school. Pam is currently in her fifth year as Head of School at Canton Country Day School in Ohio. rshaw@ cantoncountryday.org Is music an important part of your life? Do you work as a musician? Compose?

44 Thistletalk Winter 2007 WINCHESTER THURSTON SCHOOL ANNUAL GIVING REPORT 05-06

2005 - 2006 45 One Gift: Rally Cry for Stretch Gift Brings Unprecedented Success

In fall 2005, Winchester Thurston launched a bold initiative to help fulfill its vision. The WT community was asked to make a one-time, stretch gift to Winchester Thurston to sup- port both Many Voices One Vision: The Campaign for Winchester Thurston School and The WT Fund. Known as the ONE GIFT campaign, this special appeal gave our constituents an opportu- nity to participate in the capital campaign while supporting day-to-day operations through annual giving. Through the ONE GIFT campaign our community stepped forward with un- precedented generosity—resulting in a total of $726,248 raised! Of this total, $600,372 was allocated to the WT Fund and $125,876 was directed to the capital campaign. The average gift size increased from $510 per donor to $640 per donor. Special thanks go to our volunteer leadership for directing this successful endeavor: The Alumnae/i Committee was led by Rosanne Isay Harrison ’56; the Parent Committee was led by Dan Cohen; and the Faculty and Staff Committee was led by Lisa Allwsede. They each recruited a group of dedicated volunteers who reached out through hundreds of phone calls and visits to our many donors. Volunteers include:

Barbara Berkman Ackerman ’58 Ian James Sally Allan Vincent Johnson Joanne Averch Louise Ketchum ‘76 Louise Baird Janet Harrison Kuzmishin ’87 Ralph Bangs Ilene Levy Nancy Bernstein Mary Jean Rusak Barbara Abney Bolger ’52 Constance Blum Marstine ’55 Amy Bozzone Anne (Rooney) Forncrook McCloskey ’45 Dionne Brelsford Linnea Pearson McQuiston ’69 David Brody Denise Pollack Shelly Burr Henry Posner John Christie-Searles Marty Powell Charlotte Crozier Cole ’56 Tamar Rosenfeld Harriet Adler Feldman ’57 Rocky Schoen Christina Clarkson Gentilcore ’82 Jay Silberblatt Joanna Guziewicz Allyson Baird Sveda ’84 Rita J. Gould ‘46 Robin Teets Debbie Levy Green Rebecca Vitko Karen Hughes ‘76 Joni Zytnick India Loevner

A special appeal was made to all WT grandparents who were asked to support the WT Fund in honor of their grandchild’s birthday. Serving as Grandparent Chair for two consecutive years was Susanne Fox, grandmother of Joshua and Owen Brelsford, whose efforts resulted in a 127% increase in grandparent donors from 2004 to 2006. In addition, the Parents Association, headed by President Anne Scheuermann ’75, supported the WT Fund with a gift of $20,000 raised through several fundraising efforts and events throughout the year.
