R LA at a Glance A Special Guest Speaker Bunker Roy, the founder of Barefoot College in India, gave an inspirational presentation at an all-school assembly in April. His volunteer organization works in the fields of education, skill development, health, drinking water, women’s empowerment, and electrification through solar power to benefit rural people. Roy revealed the simple, practical approach that he has taken to improving circumstances in struggling rural villages. In the example he shared, he educated the women of a village to build solar panels, giving them a skill, bringing electrical power to the village, and empowering the villagers to improve their own circumstances.

Conant Gallery The Conant Gallery featured both visual and musical artists this year. The walls displayed the abstract, mixed-media collages of Carol Gove; a group of artists from the Peterborough, N.H., area, Soosen Dunholter, Jane El Simpson, Vivienne Strauss, and Margaret Baker; and the lithographs of LA’s own Dylan Callahan ’10 and Leah Meserve, a Skidmore classmate. While his exhibit was showing, artist Dylan Callahan enjoyed sharing his techniques in workshops with current student artists at his alma mater. The gallery exhibits provided attractive settings for public performances by mezzo-soprano Emily Jaworski, bluegrass duo Ari & Mia, and chamber music group Trio Veritas.

Diversity Lunch Series English teacher Khalid Bashir and Director of Diversity Programs Elkinsette Clinton were introduced to the Diversity Lunch Series concept while attending last year’s People of Color Conference. Mr. Bashir explains that the goal is to provide space for progressive conversation. “Without any intention of leading the discussions or steering conversations toward any particular beliefs,” he says, “we want to allow everyone a seat at the table in order to better learn about the diverse nature of their community.” The series was popular among the students, and topics discussed included religious diversity on campus and the recent Ferguson and Garner shootings.

Winterim Students discover all sorts of valuable things during Winterim, both about themselves and about others, and this year was no different. Except, perhaps, for the fact that this year, an actual treasure was discovered during excavations at the dig site in Italy, where LA Winterim students have been working on their own section of an ancient village for several years now. The finding was a coin, c. 1350 (front shown), that Latin teacher Mark Mucha, who leads that Winterim, translated as (front): Robert, King of Jerusalem and Sicily, for the sake of God, and (back): The (public) office of the King values (esteems) judgement.

Winter! Worthy of note this year, winter brought record snowfall to New England and the LA campus. The National Weather Service announced 108.6 inches in Boston, breaking a 1995–1996 record by an inch. Lawrence Academy’s maintenance crew and groundskeepers were out straight for the entire season, keeping up with the clearing of snow and ice dams. With their hard work, and in spite of several school delays and cancellations, the school pulled through the season just fine — and there were lots of beautiful scenes to be appreciated.

Service Highlights The 2015 Relay for Life Committee, led by juniors Hannah Donovan, Emily Pisacreta, and Lisa Li, reported raising over $10,200 for the American Cancer Society. Seniors Jillian Clymer and Taylor Poucel were central figures in LA’s Community Service group, whose efforts included running fundraisers to support a Stop Hunger Now project on MLK Jr. Day that provided over 11,000 packaged meals for distribution. In October 2014, Taylor Goodman-Leong ’17 was among the ten adults and six students inducted into the Caring Institute’s Caring Hall of Fame. The honor, awarded to her at a ceremony in Scottsdale, Ariz., recognized her sustained commitment to For the Love of Erika, an effort that she began ten years ago in response to a friend’s inoperable cancer.

A class Judith French Poetry Recitation Competition and a poetry slam each year. Vietnam’s An Tran won the traditional recitation with W. S. Mersin’s “Yesterday.” The other finalists were: Billy Adie, Maya Cratsley, Hannah Donovan, Kyla Floresca, Sophie Hager, Demitri Jackson, Riley Noel, Aiden Perry, and Katelyn Reichheld. For the more demonstrative poetry slam, students in Senior English Seminar study spoken word and perform original pieces for their classmates, who then select representatives to perform before the school. This year, the second annual SES Slam featured Meredith Long, Courtney Spence, Jack Murphy, Gabriella DiVincenzo, and David Pyne.

Mees Visiting Scholar Now playing the lead role on Broadway in his own original, highly acclaimed musical, Hamilton , Lin-Manuel Miranda found time to come by the LA campus in October as a J. William Mees Visiting Scholar. The talented musician, playwright, and actor spent two days in classrooms and assemblies, sharing and delighting participants with his inspiration and expertise. “It takes a person of some substance and some brilliance to do that — and an ability to reach out,” Head of School Dan Scheibe remarked. “That’s what this whole thing was set up to do. But we have exceeded expectations, I think, with this one, because what we most dream about is pure inspiration.”

Grandparents’ and Special Friends’ Day Maybe it’s improved healthcare, or maybe the word has just gotten out — at any rate, Lawrence Academy is thrilled to see steadily increasing numbers of grandparents and other significant friends attending this special day that celebrates their involvement in their students’ education and life experiences. Reports are that it is especially rewarding to sit in on the classes, which most often require some participation by the guests, and which frequently remind them of their own challenges and triumphs. Cum Laude Day activities also take place on this day, and those visitors who have students being recognized for their achievements enjoy being present for the awards ceremony.

MLK Jr. Day L

In what has become a powerful and productive annual A event, the LA community once again focused their efforts on celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy by dedicating the day to community service and workshops that further his message. Freelance journalist Haider Hamza, a native of Iraq who has lived through four major wars there, gave the keynote address to open the day’s activities. His presentation focused on everyday life in a war zone and highlighted the human behavior of both Iraqi civilians and U.S. soldiers caught in the war. He advocated, in the spirit of Dr. King, political discourse through non-violent communication and debate.

NGP Museum A final exhibit in May displayed the efforts of all members of the ninth-grade class in culminating projects that use the skills they have learned throughout the year, each containing scientific research, writing, and artistic elements. The collection brings families, teachers, and fellow students to explore the informative and often entertaining variety of interests and talents. There were displays about peanuts, sharks, happiness, comedians with mental illness, Disney princesses, domestic violence, Peter Pan, psychopaths, sailing, Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome in veterans, galaxies, the human will to live, and the death penalty — to name just a few.

Mountain Day Actor and psychologist Dr. Michael Fowlin kicked off the traditional Mountain Day at an all-school assembly, acting out scenarios that challenged his audience’s views of bigotry and intolerance — before everyone headed off to a challenging day that is more likely to reveal examples of inclusivity and support. Senior Oren Karp furthered the tradition during his graduation speech in May. He said he had picked up a rock at the top of the mountain in September, and he pulled it from his pocket: “Here’s that rock from the top of Mt. Monadnock, and I would like to give it as a gift to Coby Goodrich [’16], so he can bring it back up to the top of the mountain next year.”

Honoring the Achievement Held on April 29, Cum Laude Day ceremonies acknowledged the new Cum Laude Society inductees, awarded prizes for student accomplishments, and recognized this year’s alumni Greater Good Award recipient. The inductees, determined by a faculty vote, are juniors in the top 10 percent of their class and seniors in the top 20 percent, who have also demonstrated good character, honor, and integrity. The prize recipients have exhibited excellence in specific areas of their studies and are selected by each academic department. This year’s Greater Good Award was presented to Kris Ansin ’03, Executive Director of Mali Health. Last fall’s student Greater Good Award recipients, Jillian Clymer ’15 and Oren Karp ’15, were called upon to deliver the award to Mr. Ansin. In addition, Mr. Scheibe invited Ansin family members who have been honored by the school in the past to come forward and help present the award. Cum Laude Day coincides with the school’s Grandparents’ Day, so many family members were visiting the campus and were able to share in the celebration of their students’ successes.

While Bishop’s travels took him far — by 1900 he owned properties in New York, California, and Florida — he and his wife, Mary Ball, had a deep commitment to their New Jersey community that was reflected in a generous bequest that was designated for and used to create the Ocean County Library in Tom’s River.

a n d Senior Parent Gift This year, as part of the Senior Parent Gift (SPG), parents of students in the Class of 2015 had the opportunity to support the first step in a carefully planned, multi-year effort to enhance LA’s campus. Under the leadership of co-chairs Nancy and Charlie Morrison (Lizzie ’15) and Steve and Jen Swan Stone (Ben ’15), the class raised $458,000 to support both the Annual Fund and the upcoming redesign of the school’s entrance Charlie, Lizzie ’15, and Nancy Steve, Ben ’15, and Jen Stone from Route 119. Of the monies raised, $200,000 went to the Annual Fund Morrison and $258,000 is designated for the first phase of the project. Clearly, there could be no more visible legacy than an attractive and welcoming entrance that will be every visitor’s first impression of the school. The leading function of the 2015 SPG initiative involves the reconstruction of the actual entry and arrival to campus — which LA intends to relocate and redesign in order to allow more direct and appealing access from Groton’s Main Street to the heart of the school. Later steps of design will redirect parking and traffic away from the Quad to reinforce LA’s academic and residential identity, all the while improving safety and circulation. As a precursor to future Campus Master Plan elements, this improvement to the campus landscape will bring practical and aesthetic enhancements that will have a powerful effect on Lawrence Academy’s identity for generations to come.

Welcome Faculty/Staff Appreciation Day Sheri Bojanowski

Each February, parents provide those who work to support the LA community, both faculty and staff, with an outstanding as the 2015 –2016 luncheon in the MacNeil Lounge — an event eagerly anticipated by all. Providing this year’s delicious spread were: Front row (sitting) L –R: Shenna Shepard (Tansey ’18), Chuck Dutton (Adam ’18), Tracy Groves (Madeline ’13, Mitchell ’17), PA Chair and Martha Joumas (Kathleen ’09, Will ’10, Meghan ’13, Tim ’15); Second row (sitting) L –R: Stephanie Parry (Lindsey ’16, Kristin ’18), Jennifer Messer (Lauren ’15, Emily ’16), and Eileen Liang (Ethan ’18); Back row, L –R: Catherine Walker (Alex ’16), Sheri Bojanowski (Elise ’16), Christine Lorden (AJ ’17), Jill Adie (Billy ’16), Kim Clymer (Eliza ’13, Jillian ’15), Kathleen Barron (Ashley ’18), Maria Beck (Jakob ’18), Bo Murphy (Tanner ’14, David ’16, William ’17), Dwight Long (Louisa ’17), Eileen and Doug Long (Meredith ’15, Donald ’17)

Joseph R. Hegarty ’38 died on April 5, 2015. A superb athlete, he played football at Boston College, as well as minor league baseball after graduation. Joe always came to Reunion at LA, and at other times he could often be seen on the school’s tennis courts. Dr. Norman H. Farr, Jr. ’43 of Greenfield, Mass., died July 25, 2015, at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Mass. While at Lawrence Academy, he played varsity baseball, football and hockey. Warren Buchanan ’47 died on July 17 at the age of 86. He is survived by his wife of 61 years, Jessie; his son, James Buchanan and a daughter in-law, Lisa Buchanan; a daughter, Lawrence Trustee Deborah Barnes and son in-law, Steven Barnes; three grandchildren, Stephanie, Lindsay and Eric Barnes ‘13; and many nieces and nephews. A 1951 graduate of Lowell Textile Institute, he was president and owner of Graniteville Foundry in Westford, Mass., where he, along with his brother John, operated the family business. After his brother’s retirement Warren continued to run the business until his own retirement at the age of 81. William A. Hickey, Jr. ’47 died on April 28, 2014. Richard D. Whitney ’50 passed away on June 26, 2014. David Baker ’56 died in December 2014 at his home in Natick, Mass., after a series of illnesses. Michael “Butch” Cook ’56 passed away at home in Sunapee, N.H., in 2012. He was President of the Class of 1956 and captain of the 1955 football team. David Fenton ’76 died July 8, 2014, after a battle with cancer. Alexis Mouyiaris ’99 passed away recently. English teacher Laura Moore recalls this gifted student and still uses a piece of fiction he wrote in his senior year as a model of how to write well.

Richard H. Gagné Dick Gagné, longtime French teacher and coach at Lawrence, died of natural causes on February 5, 2015, at the age of 85. A fixture in the classroom and on the athletic field, he helped build a strong language program during his tenure as department head. He often claimed, with a smile, that his French 3 was “the hardest language course in the school.” Dick coached many sports over the years, choosing, as time went on, to put his experience to work at the sub-varsity levels, because “that’s where you need the best coaching.” One of his JV-B soccer players stated that he had “never had so much fun playing on a team. Gags loved what he was doing and kept us laughing.” Dick remained a presence on campus after retirement, cheering on teams and, every fall, taking part in “his” annual Gagné Classic Golf Tournament. Hearing of Dick’s passing, one alumnus spoke for many: “Gags was one of my favorites at LA. He left a permanent mark on all of us.” Predeceased by his son Richard, Dick is survived by his children Charles and Katharine and their families and by his former wife Margery.

Arthur F. Blackman Former Lawrence trustee and parent (Phoebe ’74 and Bella ’76) Arthur Blackman died at his Groton home on February 15, 2015, at age 90. A graduate of Noble and Greenough and Harvard University, Mr. Blackman was in turn an army pilot and flight instructor, a businessman, an educator, a public servant, and an ardent conservationist. He was actively involved in Groton town politics, serving on almost every town board, including the Board of Selectmen. He served on Lawrence’s board of trustees from 1974 to 1999 and was an honorary trustee until his death. In 1999, he gave the commencement address to LA’s graduating class. In addition to Phoebe and Bella, Mr. Blackman is survived by his wife of 63 years, Camilla, as well as two other children, Oliver and Camilla (Mim), and their families. Arthur F. Blackman addressing LA’s graduating class in 1999 Bennett Raddin Black ’41 Ben Black passed away on March 22, 2015, at his home in Groton at the age of 92. Born in Everett, Mass., he attended Lawrence Academy, graduated from the University of New Hampshire at Durham in 1947, and worked at Hardware Mutual in Boston, before settling back in Groton to work a dairy farm and start a trucking and excavating business. During his lifetime, many benefitted from his commitment and service. The long terms that he held in his various roles in the Town of Groton — as police officer, volunteer fireman and then fire chief, member of the Groton Water Commissioners’ board of directors, and Sealer of Weights and Measures — tally up to an impressive 116 years of collective time in service to his town. Ben served his country as a bombardier on a B-24 Liberator in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. With the 370th Bomb Group of the 13th Air Force, known as the Long Rangers, he flew 39 missions over hostile territory, many of them exceeding 12 hour’s duration. He is credited with disabling the largest Japanese battleship ever built, the Musashi , by dropping three 1,000-pound bombs on its stern, mid-, and foredeck during the Battle of the Leyte Gulf in October 1944. Ben’s wife of 64 years, Mildred, predeceased him, and he is survived by their four children, Donald ’69, Robert, Bennett Jr., and Lucy, and their families. In a note to Lawrence Academy, Don noted: “There were two centerpiece social events that he looked forward to in his later years. One was the Memorial Day Parade, the second was the Golden Alumni luncheon at the Academy in May. Those were always days that he marked on his calendar and carried fond memories from. The last hat he wore had the LA insignia emblazoned across the front. Someone once said, ‘It is not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years.’ He lived a life that had both. And yes, he will be missed .” Captain Ben Black ’41, standing under the wing of a B-24 Liberator bomber. The pictures were taken 70 years apart, and Ben’s flight jacket in the recent picture is original. (See notes from an interview with Bennett on p. 48.)
