Dear Buckley Family, AS I LOOK BACK on the 2016–2017 school year, I am help sort and deliver goods to charities. Others help plan as proud as ever of the work our boys have done in the and staff our favorite community events, including the classroom, on the stage, and on the playing field, and I am skating party, the book fair, and the memorable spring as grateful as ever for the work our teachers have done in benefit. Every homeroom has a parent representative and guiding our boys there. Students and teachers are rightly every grade level has its Annual Fund captains. There the stars of the show at Buckley, but in reviewing the many are class cocktail parties to host, snacks to provide, and memorable moments included in this issue of The Buckley costumes to create. The Medieval Feast in Class V, in Letter, I was also reminded of how important a parent body particular, is a spectacular display of parent commitment is to the success of a school year.

In is as inspiring as it is necessary to the strength of the only a handful of years, Science Olympiad has become one Buckley program. The truth is that our school would not of the most popular extracurricular activities in Buckley’s be the paragon of excellence that it is today without the Upper School. Boys routinely stay late on Friday afternoons cooperation of parents. Successful academic institutions to prepare for competition and log hours practicing on almost always have a team mentality, and parents are very weekends as well, all on top of their other in-school and much a part of the Buckley team. While it can be tricky at out-of-school commitments. As an auxiliary program, times to maintain the appropriate, distinct roles of parent Science Olympiad relied on parent volunteers in its early and teacher, what makes the collaboration work is that years; they participated as chaperones during weekend we all share the same goals: to build a strong foundation practices and competitions and even as assistant coaches for our boys and to help them grow into young men of under the expert guidance of head coach Dianne Garrett, outstanding character. a Middle and Upper School science teacher and the I am both a teacher and a parent here in New York leader of the Science Olympiad program.

Floreat semper ludus Bucklianus! For a sense of the many different ways parent Sincerely, volunteers are relied on each year at Buckley, simply read Parents Committee President Leslie Coleman’s piece on page 17.

The Boys George Carlin, Class III, builds a robot during Boomerang. STUDENT FEATURE Science Olympiad By Anne Ahrens THIS PAST YEAR, Buckley competed for the fourth time in the Science Olympiad, an academic track meet, so to speak, with 23 events designed to “reflect the ever-changing nature of genetics, earth science, chemistry, anatomy, physics, geology, mechanical engi- neering, and technology,” according to the website. The 2017 season proved to be the best yet for Buckley’s rapidly improving team. Since the program’s inception in 2013, when two Class VII boys wanted more than a science club to participate in, the group has grown from its 15 founding members to an average of 50 student participants each year. That first year, they came home with one 2nd place award and two 4th place awards. Four years later, in 2017, they brought home 43 medals, including several 1st and 3rd place awards, which earned them 4th place overall in New York City. This outstanding finish qualified them for the New York State competition, and they went on to place 15th in the state and win the “Best New School” award. SCIENCE OLYMPIAD PARTICIPANTS AT THE None of this would have been possible without the dedication of 2017 NEW YORK STATE COMPETITION the students, the parent volunteers, and the faculty volunteers. Since Harrison Abromavage, Alex Kovitch, Class VIII day one, Middle and Upper School Science Teacher Dianne Garrett, Class VIII, Captain Harry Margolis, Class VIII the Science Olympiad advisor, has viewed the group as a way for Brian Tan, Class VIII, Captain Adrian Morrison, Class VI science-minded students to learn more—the trophies are a bonus. Campbell Abelow, Class VII Jeffrey Ramos, Class VIII Even though the program is an after-school elective, the boys take it Charlie Bowers, Class VII Clint Silver, Class VIII seriously, regardless of the outcome. They want to do well: “They are Tommy Brooker, Class VIII Jackson Slater, Class VI impassioned,” says Mrs. Garrett. Yes, medals bring great excitement, Mark Falenchuk, Class VII Alec Stern, Class VIII but it is the boys’ growth throughout the year that makes the Teddy Fitzsimons, Class VIII Reilly Teeter, Class VII program worthwhile. Will Groot, Class VII Chandler Vogel, Class VIII There is a lot that must be done to prepare for the four types of Nicky Harwich, Class VI Peter Worth ’17 events in the competition. Paper and pencil tests, covering material Austin James, Class VI through eleventh-grade science, are one type of event. Lab events are also included, in which students must conduct an experiment and then explain the science behind their work. There are also building competition, Mrs. Garrett enlisted three more faculty members to events, which are the most work intensive, as well as an inquiry help guide the team, each with their own specialty. Nick Frankfurt, portion, for which the boys attempt to learn a new vocabulary on the Science Department Chair, assists with topics on herpetology any topic, almost like Jeopardy.

  • Writing the 9/11 Decade
    1 Writing the 9/11 Decade Charlie Lee-Potter A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of PhD ROYAL HOLLOWAY UNIVERSITY OF LONDON 2013 2 Declaration of Authorship I Charlie Lee-Potter hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 3 Charlie Lee-Potter, Writing the 9/11 Decade Novelists have struggled to find forms of expression that would allow them to register the post-9/11 landscape. This thesis examines their tentative and sometimes faltering attempts to establish a critical distance from and create a convincing narrative and metaphorical lexicon for the historical, political and psychological realities of the terrorist attacks. I suggest that they have, at times, been distracted by the populist rhetoric of journalistic expression, by a retreat to American exceptionalism and by the demand for an immediate response. The Bush administration’s statement that the state and politicians ‘create our own reality’ served to reinforce the difficulties that novelists faced in creating their own. Against the background of public commentary post-9/11, and the politics of the subsequent ‘War on Terror’, the thesis considers the work of Richard Ford, Paul Auster, Kamila Shamsie, Nadeem Aslam, Don DeLillo, Mohsin Hamid and Amy Waldman. Using my own extended interviews with Ford, Waldman and Shamsie, the artist Eric Fischl, the journalist Kevin Marsh, and with the former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr. Rowan Williams (who is also a 9/11 survivor), I consider the aims and praxis of novelists working within a variety of traditions, from Ford’s realism and Auster’s metafiction to the post- colonial perspectives of Hamid and Aslam, and, finally, the end-of-decade reflections of Waldman.

Introduction: Romney’s Dilemma Mitt Romney woke up on the morning of September 11, 2012, with big hopes for this day – that he’d stop the slow slide of his campaign for the presidency. The political conventions were in his rear-view mirror, and the Republican nominee for the White House was trailing President Obama in most major polls. In an ABC News/Washington Post poll released at the start of the week, the former Massachusetts governor’s previous 1-point lead had flipped to a 6-point deficit.1 “Mr. Obama almost certainly had the more successful convention than Mr. Romney,” wrote Nate Silver, the polling guru and then-New York Times blogger.2 While the incumbent’s gathering in Charlotte was marked by party unity and rousing testimonials from Obama’s wife, Michelle, and former President Bill Clinton, Romney’s confab in Tampa had fallen flat.
