    WINTER 2020 STORY 60 YEARS JOSH CLARK, HEAD OF SCHOOL The Hula-Hoop was only a year old when David Schenck descended the steps of St. Anne’s Church and met his fate. Nervous and unsure, he might have been running later than expected after filling his gas tank on the way for $.25 a gallon. I imagine he drove in silence the last quarter mile as the radio reports about a Cuban revolutionary named Castro and legislators considering the new Hawaii Admissions Act were irritating distractions. Perhaps he calmed his nerves by thinking about the odd new television program, The Twilight Zone, he and Dee had watched the night before. As he parked the car and made his way inside, he probably thought little of the worn concrete steps framed by cobwebbed corners and filled with the echoes of his shoes. Fifteen orange crates for desks were filled by only seven students. His journey that morning must have felt much more like an uncertain start than the coronation time has rendered it. As David himself said, “It was an insane idea.” Beginnings can be hard. But beginnings are the business of The Schenck School. morning 60 years ago in the borrowed space of a church basement, David Schenck debunked that myth. He did not Every year approximately 100 students walk down the The have the luxury of a beautiful campus, an army of well- Schenck School’s steps for the first time feeling a lot like trained teachers, or a larger community that understood David on that day.
