The steady improvement of the Prep’s building and campus is about to become much more dramatic. work began this summer on the first phase of a program to renew some of the most cherished and recognizable parts of the school. The Commons will be fitted with new finishes, dramatic lighting, and a more-efficient seating arrangement. The Prep Chapel will be relocated to a dramatic new space on the third floor, away from the busy—and occasionally noisy—south entry. A generously-proportioned lobby will be built in the area now occupied by the Chapel and the main entrance. Later phases will renovate classroom space on all floors of the east wing of the building, renew the administrative area and make improvements to the parking areas. The Commons ceiling is now in a grid pattern with striking curved panels in each segment of the grid. Energy-efficient lighting in the curved panels brighten the space, and lighting controls can change the mood to a subdued glow for evening events. Behind the scenes, an obsolete and inefficient heating and cooling system has been replaced by highly efficient new equipment. Artist’s rendering of the Commons In the new lobby, the Prep’s history will be on display, with artifacts and documents in museum cases for visitors and students to enjoy.

    GUIDE TO THE PETE FORNATALE COLLECTION Collection Overview: Collection Title: THE PETE FORNATALE COLLECTION Inclusive Dates: 1960 - 2012 Size: 16 Boxes (5.01 l.f.) Source: Gift of Peter Thomas Fornatale Accession Number: 2016.03 Prepared by: Georgina Rivas-Martinez Repository: Port Washington Public Library Local History Center Collection Abstract: For nearly four decades Pete Fornatale was an award-winning broadcaster, author, music historian and humanitarian whose voice resonated across New York’s radio airwaves. The Pete Fornatale Collection includes photographs, negatives, notebooks pertaining to “Mixed Bag” radio show, copious handwritten notes and notebooks, handwritten song lists, correspondence and publication drafts. Biographical History: Pete Fornatale was one of the architects of Progressive Rock FM in the 1960s, and he has one of the most recognizable voices in rock radio. He has been a fixture on the New York dial for four decades, starting his career at in November 1963 at WFUV as a Fordham undergraduate hosting "Campus Caravan," and then moving on to WNEW-FM in 1969 and K-Rock in 1989. Upon Pete’s passing, he was the host of "Mixed Bag", broadcast on Saturdays from 4-8pm on WFUV 90.7 in New York. The long-running show started as a Sunday morning program in late December of 1982 on WNEW. On a humorous note, Pete remembers getting a fan letter the following week from a then unknown singer-songwriter named Suzanne Vega. She would eventually become a recurring guest on the show. Pete is the author of several books about media, pop culture and music, including "The Rock Music Source Book," "Radio in the Television Age," The Story of Rock 'n' Roll" and "All You Need Is Love." He was also the primary writer of "The Elvis Collection," a 600 trading card series on the life of Elvis Presley.

There is an American musical conversation we have inherited, that grew out of the native and immigrant traditions of our nation, and especially those who immigrated here against their will—the African slaves. While this musical conversation reflects all aspects of American life over the history of our nation, perhaps nowhere has it been more powerful, more iconic and of higher impact than when it was used to voice protest for social and justice issues of our world, our society and the average working American. This musical conversation happened in a variety of ways. The genesis and evolution of the lyrics and music themselves represent a sharing and passing down of musical ideas, frequently born of old hymns, spirituals and slave songs.
