The second thing I noticed was that I liked Neil Diamond a lot better after reading what Phil had to say. I was reading a copy of Phil’s fanzine Radio On for the first time, riding a Charlottesville city bus in early 1991, wondering if my mind was playing tricks on me. This guy had provoc- ative comments on recent hits by C&C Music Factory and the KLF; he also wrote about musty 1960s ballads by Herb Alpert or the Vogues.

WESPA Rules OK AGM Minutes - Page 2
Bimonthly Magazine for the Association of British Scrabble Players Brett wins BMSC for fourth time page 13 WESPA Rules OK AGM Minutes - page 2 Prize Puzzle page 15 Lorraine Feather sings Scrabble page 34 Issue 134 - October 2010 from the editor Well, here I am back in the editor’s chair and already questioning my sanity. Nevertheless, I do have enough of my marbles left to know how much I owe to everybody who has sent me material of some sort for inclusion. I really cannot produce a magazine without you lot, so please do keep giving a thought to what you may contribute. This, of course is issue number 1 of the newsletter under the new title of OnBoard. It was very gratifying to receive so many name suggestions - over 50 - and I am happy with the final choice. The full array of suggestions was emailed to committee members with the request that they send me short lists of their favourites. I had hoped by this means to create my own short list to put to an AGM vote, however the title of OnBoard was the favourite of seven out of the eleven replies I received; and five of those seven declined to add any other names to their list. OnBoard was unchallengeable as the new title. Here is a list of the suggested titles as received by the committee - they were not informed as to who had proposed what. I was pleased to be able to tell them that their popular choice had been solely the suggestion of outgoing editor Elisabeth Jardine.

Lila Crotty (Metairie, LA) and Kate Fu- kawa-Connelly (Kittery, ME) produced the Inaugural Crescent City Cup SCRABBLE Tournament in New Orleans, LA. Their hus- bands, Tim & Tim, handled respectively data entry and direction of the event. The event took place at the Inn on Bourbon, a quaint oasis in the midst of the French Quarter. The room was the perfect size for the event. In a wild finish befitting the personality of this city, 6 people had identical records entering the final round. Jesse Day (Berke- ley, CA) bested Joel Sherman (Bronx, NY) at Table 1 and had enough cumulative point spread to fend off the two others who fin- ished with Jesse’s 14–6 record.

Pro Vita 2014 Course Listing
Pro Vita 2014 Course Listing ARTS A PERIOD COURSES A CAPPELLA MUSIC JEAN MAHER and LIZA JANE BRANCH ’15 Do you find yourself singing in the car, in the shower, among friends… and even to strangers? Do you watch American Idol or The Voice and think to yourself, I could do that… and win? Ever wonder what it would be like to join a group of like-minded singers, to come together to rehearse and perform current covers from popular music, and leave audiences screaming for more? Then it’s time to sign up for A Cappella Music with Mrs. Maher and Liza Jane! Some singing talent is desired, but no prior formal singing experience is required. We’ll arrange and learn at least three current covers and perform them at the end of the week. INSTALLATION ART PAUL BANEVICIUS Using fabrics, cardboard, wood, plastic, paint, and perhaps even twinkle lights, students will transform the School’s Art Gallery into something new, something unexpected, something magical! With two different periods working on one final project, the groups will collaboratively explore large-scale installation art, work to bring abstract ideas to reality, and tackle the challenges that confront artists as installations expand. The final project will be a giant three-dimensional, multi-sensory sculpture encompassing the entire gallery that completely alters the space—how we perceive it, how we walk through it, and how we experience it. B PERIOD COURSES DEAR DIARY…THE ART OF CREATIVE JOURNALING BRANDI DAHARI Throughout history, many successful artists, leaders, scientists and entrepreneurs have used journals to explore their wildest ideas and make the unimaginable reality.

Playing to Win: Raising Children in a Competitive Culture
“Beautifully written, relentlessly insightful, and methodologically innova- tive, Playing to Win expertly captures the perspectives of parents and children regarding the importance of after- school activities for socializa- tion and childhood in contemporary American society. Hilary Levey Freidman has produced a so cio log i cal gem.” — William A. Corsaro, author of The Sociology of Childhood “Hilary Levey Friedman’s Playing to Win is an essential social science volume that transcends the boundary between scholarship and pop u lar critique. Levey Friedman successfully explains how upper- middle- class Americans think about their children’s engagement in serious leisure: competitive chess, dance competitions, and youth soccer. Listening care- fully to both parents and children, she reveals the tensions and contradic- tions, benefi ts and drawbacks of intense competitions, and provides a perspective necessary for researchers who examine child development and for parents who wish to raise happy, healthy children.” — Gary Alan Fine, author of With the Boys: Little League Baseball and Preadolescent Culture and Gifted Tongues: High School Debate and Adolescent Culture “The world of twenty- fi rst- century childhood has found its superb inter- preter. With sparkling arguments and fascinating evidence, Hilary Levey Friedman’s Playing To Win introduces us to one of America’s most remark- able contemporary innovations: the proliferation of or ga nized, competitive after- school activities. An important contribution to the sociology of culture and inequality.” — Viviana A. Zelizer, author of Pricing the Priceless Child: The Changing Social Value of Children “Hilary Levey Friedman has managed to convince numerous upper- middle- class parents and their children to pause in their mad dash between extracurricular activities to explain why they have chosen this lifestyle.

It focuses on the role of social interactions in the development of their expertise as members of the community of practice of Scrabble players. Using nine case studies and semi-structured interviews as a primary source of data, the research seeks to explore the range of interactions of the experts with other Scrabble players and the curriculum of knowledge that facilitated their journey from novice to expert. The professional interactions among peers in reference to tournaments, the bonds and friendships that have developed in the social sphere that accompanies club and tournament play, and specific relationships within the community such as rivalries, alliances and mentor/protégé relationships have been identified.
