This message from Head of School, Brad Bates, was shared with the entire faculty and staff at the opening of the 2012-2013 School Year. It has inspired everyone to consider what they truly believe and we hope it inspires you.

“I started attending the school where my father taught in seventh grade.

4 | the Dubliner | winter 2013 Speech presented by Brad Bates at the dedication of Gillespie Hall at Dublin School on May 12, 2012.

“Welcome to Gillespie Hall. This is truly a moment to celebrate Dublin School. As I look out at all of you across this beautiful courtyard on this beautiful day, it is fitting that I am also looking directly across at Lehmann House. Charley Gillespie was the very first teacher hired at Dublin School and Mr. G and Mr. Lehmann stood side by side as they built this school together, helped to build up the lives of young men and women together for over thirty-five years.

Eight years ago, the late headmaster Christopher Horgan met with trustee Pat Fletcher to discuss the growing arts program at Dublin. Chris wanted to add an addition onto the current art studio at that time to accommodate more working space and possibly the addition of a gallery to display student work. Pat, however, encouraged Chris to “think big” and to envision an even larger building to celebrate the arts at the School. She pledged to support such a project in an attempt to inspire others to give. Trustee and alumnus Will Spencer ’86, a close friend of Chris’s, quickly joined with Pat in providing financial support for the building and the project gained momentum. Chris’s untimely death, however, put the project on temporary hold.

The Dublin School Board of Trustees, many of whom are here today, when deciding where to place a new arts building, determined it would be best to develop a master plan for the campus to tie the buildings, paths, woods, and roads into a coherent landscape in support of www.dublinschool.org | 5 our mission. They hired Randall Imai from Imai, Keller Moore in Boston to create the master plan. Legend has it that as part of the process Randall spent three hours under a tree watching the students and faculty moving around the quad. He quickly determined that the parking lot in the middle of the quad had to go, but he also noticed that the students were congregating around the steps of Lehmann Hall at various times of the day. Why, you might ask? Food!

Randall and his colleague, Gail Woodhouse, figured that by placing the new visual arts building where it stands today, they Putnam Art Gallery, Tom Putnam ‘61 could create a courtyard that would serve as a meeting place Directly behind me stands the Putnam Gallery. We have always while also having students interact with art on a daily basis. The wanted an area dedicated to the display of art, and the Putnam building is literally a bridge and a connector of the upper campus Gallery will serve as space to celebrate the work of our students, to the main campus. Over time the program for the building alumni and faculty and any outside artists that will help advance evolved. As a growing school we determined that we needed to the educational mission of our school. We are happy to collaborate build more classroom space and we have added three stunning with Laura Redmond and Bonnie Bennett, who have volunteered new classrooms that accommodate up to fifteen students. As a to help operate the gallery, and look forward to putting on three former dean of students, I argued for a student center that would or four shows a year for the public. Alumnus Tom Putnam, his be inviting, comfortable and fun for our students from fifteen wife Babs, and the extended Putnam family and their wonderful different countries and eighteen states to spend quality time foundation were instrumental in re-energizing our fundraising together. We named the center after alumnus William Spencer ’86 efforts to help this project become a reality. The Putnam family in honor of his support and vision for this building and also due has supported the arts throughout the Monadnock region and it is to his tireless efforts to enhance the student experience on our fitting to have their name adorn this elegant space in Gillespie Hall. campus. The Spencer Student Center has already exceeded our already high expectations for its function within the community. The Christopher Horgan Art Studio stands as the heart and soul of this building. The arts blossomed at Dublin under Chris’s leadership and I am proud to know Chris’s youngest son, Spenser, who carries on the family’s creative tradition. The Horgan Studio is one of a kind. Designed by Gail and Randall along

The beauty and to hang out.” of this building is in its details. When we look at it now, it appears as if it has always belonged here. I have seen school campuses fractured and balkanized by new buildings, but this building brings the campus and its people together in support of the school’s mission.

Former teacher and current trustee Carl Von Mertens was instrumental to this project, donating his time and expertise to help supervise the construction and build each and every table in the building with his son, Todd. I hope you will get a chance to see the different details in each of these tables. A special thank you also to our buildings and grounds staff of Larry Ames, Mark Sirois, Dylan Pierpont, Dawn McClellan, Ed Forbes, and Bernadette Weibee-Hietala. I want to Sharron & Smokey Smith, P ‘92 pause now and recognize Andy Hungerford P ’00, ’05, ’07 for his leadership on this project.

This week I watched from my office as our staff put the final touches on this courtyard, which we think will forward the efforts of building community on campus. The pump house, which at one point was our visual arts building, will be repurposed into the Shiras School Store, named in memory of alumnus Peter Shiras ’44. The benches in the courtyard, cut from our own abundant supply of boulders, were donated in memory of Michael Walter from the class of 1986. We thank trustee Sharron Smith P ’92 for her vision to support this courtyard, and architect Susan Phillips-Hungerford P ’00, ’05, ’07 for designing the space. Susan was also instrumental in helping us with the interior color and furniture Shiras School Store details in Gillespie Hall. Brad Bates with Trustee, Patricia Fletcher H ‘05

I wish to thank the people behind the scenes who have made this building and event possible. Alumni and Development Director Erika Rogers has worked tirelessly with her staff, Donna Stone, Lucy Shonk, and Jan Haman, to raise money and awareness for this building. We thank Jen Whitesel, Scott Gardner, and Emily Johnson for handling the budget for the building and processing those few bills that came through their office for it. I would also like to note that this building, like just about every other building on campus, has Trustee David Howe’s fingerprints all over it. Not one of the campus improvements you see around campus today could have been completed without the leadership of our former Board Chair David and our current Board Chair Peter Imhoff. I am convinced that Peter, himself, has spent at least an hour a day over the last year checking every construction detail on this building.

Gillespie Hall was imagined as a place to build community, it was designed by a community, it was financed by our community, it was built by a community and is now being celebrated by a community. Mr. Gillespie represents everything that is good about communities. He literally did everything at Dublin School. A scholar who inspired generations of students to delve deeply into text, language, and theorem, Charley was also the school nurse, a snow removal expert, the lift attendant, and tractor driver. As a head of school I can appreciate the thought of having someone like Mr. G, that person who would turn out the last light, lock the doors, and make sure everyone was safe and healthy in their beds at night. I am honored today to introduce one of Charley’s children, Susan Gillespie Hunt….” – Brad Bates, Head of School

”Wow! This is truly a privilege to be a part of this dedication of Gillespie Hall to honor my father. I am grateful to all those who have been a facet in making this possible – from the original idea to the last shingle. It is an incredible building with character and it blends into the existing theme of the Dublin School campus. I am proud to represent his family

Susan Gillespie Hunt with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren with me.

Over the years I have accumulated several boxes and folders of pictures…of my parents, pictures of us as children, pictures of the hurricane in ’38 and its massive damage, pictures of students from years ago, artwork from students to Dad, notes and letters from previous faculty and students, all expressing their gratitude for his guidance and wisdom.

One letter that might interest you takes us back to the beginning, in 1935. It is a letter from Dad’s sister Maud Haskins and I believe it was to their parents. In part, it reads this way:

“Yesterday, Jimmy brought a special delivery letter for Charles and it was from Mr. Lehmann, Peter Imhoff P ‘13, David Howe H ‘95 and a man to whom Charles had written about a teaching position. We went to meet with him in Louisa Birch ‘57 Dublin, NH. I sat in the car while Charles went for the interview. When Charles came back he looked pleased and he said ‘I can have the job if I’d like to take it.’

Of course we talked all the way home. It is a preparatory school being started. Mr. Lehmann has references from several men that Charles knows from Harvard. The school is quite expensive and they mean to give almost individual attention. The salary is quite small, only $300 yearly with room, board and laundry.

For just the experience, we think this is not too bad to try. We are inclined to think that it would be the right thing to accept, but he has to have a talk with Harriet. If one of Charles’

Judy Knapp and Will Spencer ‘86 references advises Mr. Lehmann to venture, he cannot very well oppose Charles working with h i m .”

For this “just the experience, not too bad to try ‘venture’” – it lasted forty years! The venture proved that he and Mr. Lehmann had the same goals, the same mission: to start an education center in the country, Dublin, NH, that had few diversions and a one-on-one interaction with the students. They had a goal to stimulate young minds, to prepare them for their futures, to understand their capabilities and to instill in them a good foundation on which to build their future. Paul Lehmann and my father had a mission – to plant a seed, nurture it and watch it grow.

At this point, I would like to acknowledge my mother and Nancy Lehmann for Susan & John Wight and Louisa Birch ‘57 understanding the goals of their husbands. I would guess that they spent countless hours without their presence but still supported them and believed in their mission. They too Jillian Steele ’13 were pioneers. “Gillespie is a great place We, as children, had endless opportunities and access to culture, nature and education. We to hang out and it is had all of the opportunities that the students had and our parents exposed us to an honest the center where I work, and healthy upbringing.

Last May, we celebrated the opening of the Putnam Gallery at Dublin School, made possible by the generosity of Thomas P. Putnam ’61 and The Putnam Foundation. This year’s inaugural season featured contributions by 10 recognized artists representing a variety of media.

Jessie Pollock & bonnie bennett August 21 – September 28, 2012 “Jessie Pollock’s richly textured landscape paintings and luminous photo- based images are romantic, sensuous and evocative. They suggest the passage of time and evoke nostalgia for times past. Intensely appealing for their tactile surfaces and radiant light, Pollock’s paintings transcend the reality of a specific time or place.” – Susan Strickler

Jeri Eisenberg October 12 – November 16, 2012 Jeri Eisenberg’s work allows us to see the staggeringly beautiful in the “mundane” world we live in and ask us to examine the incredibly complex event we call “Vision,” something else we take for granted day to day. Jeri Eisenberg’s photos dance along the border between abstraction and representation. In that moment between seeing a jumble of shapes and then recognizing a meaningful image is a chance to see how remarkable perception really is. 10 | the Dubliner | winter 2013 Anthony Apesos November 30 – December 20, 2012 Apesos has lived in Boston since 1992, when he came to chair the Fine Arts department at the Art Institute of Boston.

She has exhibited in the U.S. and Europe, including the Cultural Center in Varigotti, Italy, and the Interlochen Art Academy (MI). Of Hegner’s work, poet Naomi Shihab writes, “She creates mesmerizing combustible windows through which longings, legends, fabulous and slightly ominous possibilities, peek their heads, and wink.”

Commencement Speech by Cindy McGinty, parent of my story so you can see why I feel so strongly about these values. Daniel McGinty ’10. I grew up in a very blue collar town in CT. We had just enough - no As the parent of one son that more no less. I graduated high school and worked my way through graduated from here in 2010 college. I took no chances. Believe it or not I was painfully shy. I and one son that will graduate was unprepared for the world and what was about to happen to me. from another high school this summer and head off to college On a gorgeous sunny day some men boarded a plane and my life in the fall, I feel I can join all was changed forever. You see the love of my life and the father to of the parents in that collective my children was in the World Trade Center attending a meeting sigh of relief that comes with and he died that day. That is the day I changed. Instead of being graduation. Some of these kids the person who donated to charity I became the charity. It was a got here taking the hard path VERY humbling experience to say the least. I was left confused, and some an easier road but grief stricken and my life was out of control. All that I had known whatever the course, the world and counted on was lost. I also found out just what I was made of is about to open for them and that day. it is an exciting day. People often ask me how I got through those days and I have to say Your last four years have been building up to this very moment. that two big things helped me - I had kids and you just have to get up Teachers and administrators here at Dublin have been busy and get going. You just put one foot in front of the other. They still preparing you to launch into this next phase of your life. You may demand your attention and they still deserved a happy childhood no think that it was all about the history, math, art or you might think matter what had happened. We were, after all, still a family. it was about work gang, getting up on time, getting to morning meeting and sports. But it was about more than all of those things, The other thing that helped me get through that time was that it was about helping you to find your truth and your courage. I had the help of a senator. Early on, Senator Kennedy called to express condolences to all the Massachusetts families personally That magic happens every time a student is given the opportunity - something not many people knew. He also invited all the Mass to try something new or stretch themselves. Every time a student 9/11 families to a meeting in Boston to get information. I was gets up at morning meeting and performs a song or a new frustrated by all the red tape we had to go through to get help dance; every time a student joins a work gang or tries a new from various agencies like the Red Cross, Social Security, Salvation sport or artistic pursuit, they are given an opportunity to stretch Army and FBI so I decided to go. themselves in a safe place. Perhaps you were a student who tried drama or sang in front of the school for the first time. In many What I learned was that many of the families who had lost loved schools you would not have that opportunity. ones could not speak for themselves because they were still so raw Many of you remade yourselves here. Perhaps you were shy, the with grief and I found my voice as an advocate for them. Once the class clown or the kid that underperformed. Dublin gave you a 9/11 families were in a better place, I went on to help found the place to change that, to reinvent yourself or to become the best Mass Military Heroes Fund, which provides the same services to you. This is how truth and courage is born. families that have lost service members since 9/11.

So where is that magic? It is in the people that live and work here Every day I get up I think about my husband, Mike, and Senator at Dublin and in the beautiful surroundings here. Everyone who Kennedy and I try to do something to make them proud of me. I works here takes the values of Truth and Courage to heart. Take believe that more than ever our world needs more good people in those values with you and lay them on your heart as you leave it. We need more kindness, caring and love. I believe that each of here. They are priceless gifts that will serve you well in life. us can change this world.

I didn’t find my truth or courage until much later in my life. Not Have the courage to take that leap and step outside your comfort because I didn’t want to but I wasn’t in a place that helped me to do zone. You will discover things about yourself you never knew and, this. It wasn’t nurtured in me like it is here.

We certainly have our limitations, but given the economic environment we are living in, we have much to celebrate. With a limited endowment and annual fund, we will Icontinue to be highly tuition dependent. I do not view these limitations as a bad thing.

John writes, “Rick and I were in two different dorms together - the Wing and the Hill House. I never saw Rick in a down or sullen mood. He was always upbeat and enthusiastic about people. At our reunions, he would remember what Daniel Holder ’64 recently took a our career aspirations were and would ask us how we were progressing towards trip to the Galapagos Islands.

I feel that Rick was Dublin – Dublin was Rick, plain and simple.”

Henry Smith ’65 says he should probably write down his many Dublin stories. “There are many of them, and they are descriptive of what life was really like in a boys’ boarding school, back in the 60’s. It was a world in miniature, but it was all there: Drama, pathos, humor, courage, trepidation, and paradox in large doses.”

David Rousmaniere ’67 stopped by for a quick visit in the spring of 2012. He had been in touch with Rick O’Connor as both lived in NC.

I was introduced to Dublin School through A Better Chance Inc., a scholarship program that matches deserving students of color with independent schools. I vividly recall my trip up to Dublin, New Hampshire from my home in Mthe Bronx, NY with my mother in the fall of 1981. Upon arriving in Keene, NH, we were met by Señor Luis Moncada, Dean of Students, a distinguished looking man, who I later learned coached soccer and had played soccer professionally in his home country of Colombia. After a quick campus tour, I was shown to my room in the “New Dorm.” After saying goodbye to my mother, I unpacked and settled into my new surroundings. I remember thinking to myself, “What would this experience be like?” “Would I like Dublin School?” “Would I get along with the other students?” “Where would I get my hair cut?” This would be my first experience living in a residential setting with people other than my family.

Dublin School of the 1980s was a “no frills” school with a strong sense of community. The Whitney Gymnasium, Perkin Observatory, Gillespie Hall, and the Evans Library, to name a few recent campus additions, were not built when I attended Dublin School.

Unlike some of our peer institutions, Dublin School did not have a custodial staff or large maintenance staff. Manual labor was a central component of the community building experience at Dublin School. It did not matter if you were a trust fund kid, the kid of an executive or professional, a kid from Peterborough or a kid from the Bronx; we all cut wood in the lower valley together, laid wooden walkways along the paths before the first snow together, performed work gang and dorm jobs together and lived and learned from each other. And thanks to Steve Zakon, we definitely ate better than our peers attending other boarding schools.

My three years at Dublin School far exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for having had the privilege to live and learn in such a close knit, caring community with instructors and mentors some of whom include: Terry Dwyer -truly a Renaissance man, the legendary Señor Luis Moncada and Señora Dora Moncada - whom I never saw wear pants during my tenure at Dublin School, Rist Bonnefond - with his bone crushing handshake, boundless energy and love of winter sports, Dan Abel - who made Physics understandable, Dr. Kerwin - who could forget the song… “Green Green, I’m goin’ away where the Grass is Greener Still?”… and dedicated instructors who are STILL at Dublin School some 30 years later; Jan Haman - Dublin’s longest serving instructor and our very own Queen of Drama and Carl Von Mertens - a selfless and humble man.

Dublin School provided me with new skills and tools for life that I continue to rely upon even today. As a student living in the New Dorm and Lehmann House, I learned tolerance and acceptance and how to live with people from different backgrounds. It was at morning meeting and drama productions where I developed the confidence to stand up in front of a large audience and deliver a message. Playing sports provided me with an opportunity to work as part of a team. Serving as a student leader and proctor provided me with an opportunity to demonstrate leadership. I am grateful for these opportunities. My experiences at Dublin School contributed significantly to my personal development and who I am today. - Maurice Willoughby ’84, President Alumni Association

The first graduate of Dublin School, Tom Rockwell ’37 died peacefully at home on September 2, 2012. He was 96. A lifelong resident of North Andover, MA, he was a quiet man, proud of his family heritage, and talented with machinery. Tom was a steadfast supporter of Dublin School, rarely missed a reunion, and carefully followed the development of the School. Tom once wrote to Paul and Nancy Lehmann, sharing that, “My only claim to fame throughout my life has been that I claim to be the oldest living graduate of the Dublin School.” Tom was indeed the oldest living alumnus of Dublin School, but that was hardly his only claim to fame. Tom will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all of us at Dublin School.
