Core Values

Dear Members of the PDS Community:

ONE PART OF THE ROLE o f Head o f School that has proven to be even more rewarding than I’d have predicted is visiting with alumni at Excellence the various regional gatherings planned during the year. Since last September, we’ve held get-togethers in Boston, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Princeton and New York City. It is wonderfully inspiring to hear from alumni of not just PDS but Relationships also our founding schools, about those elements of their experiences that have had enduring influence on the course of their lives. What makes it especially uplifting is how many of those experiences derive from values still held and cherished at PDS today. The conversations at those gatherings have helped inform two key Character committees established this year to move the school toward the goal of adding to our Statement of Philosophy, a Mission Statement. The Core Values Committee identified the values that seem to be most broadly held and that best describe what makes PDS special and different. The values most often reiterated had to do with excellence, relationships, Community character, community and independence of thought. The Mission Statement Committee is meeting this spring to craft a mission from those concepts. An extraordinary number of our alumni and their families recall their experiences at PDS and its founders as life altering in the most Independence positive sense. It is an honor to be associated with this school and a privilege to commit to sustaining the quality that characterizes it. of Thought

Sincerely,

Judith R. Fox Head of- School

SPRING 2004 • PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL • 17 By Anne Marie Russo Six alumnae/i will be inducted into the eighth annual Princeton Day School Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, May 1 5. All outstanding athletes, they excelled through the athletic programs at Princeton Day School, Miss Fine’s School and Princeton Country Day School. The 2004 inductees are: Christopher L. Jones ’91, Patrick Kerney ’94, Douglas G. G. Levick III ’51, Ramsay (Cherry) Raymond ’61, Hilleary T. Thomas ’84 and Sarah Woodworth-Gibson ’79. Director of Athletics John Levandowski, co-chair of the Athletic Hall of Fame Committee, praised each of the inductees for their achievements and contributions. “Once again, we are proud to have an extraordinary group of athletes being inducted, from a current Doug Levick III ’51 professional football player to multi-sport athletes “MY YEARS AT PCD were particularly memorable,” says Doug at Miss Fine’s and PCD. Their achievements and Levick ’51 “learning to skate from scratch when 1 arrived in contributions enrich our school and inspire our seventh grade and my other classmates had played hockey for several years, and starting six-man football at the school." Doug athletes today.” played football, ice hockey and base­ ball at PCD from seventh grade through graduation in ninth. He began playing lacrosse at Phillips Exeter Academy and was selected to the All New England Team his senior year. He continued lacrosse at Princeton University and was selected First Team All Ivy League for three years and First Team All American in his junior and senior years and the outstanding defenseman in the country in his senior year. He also reunited with PCD classmates Harry Rulon-Miller and Bob Kales to play three years varsity ice hockey at Princeton. An as athlete, Doug feels an individual gains “enormous lessons that serve one well in any future endeavor." He includes lessons like the ability to understand give and take, the balance of individual and team play and to appreciate that one’s most hated enemies on the field can be one’s best friend elsewhere. “Some­ one who has worked hard in competitive sports, even if not a star player, is a much more competent and balanced person,” advises Doug. “One also gathers an enormous storehouse o f great experi­ ences and memories from playing sports." When Doug learned he was selected for induction into the Athletic Hall of Fame he was surprised, he says, but honored. “I relish some of the highlights of my sports days and envy the time when my body functioned better than today. With this comes an awareness of the price o f many years of body stress (two hip replacements) from sports over 40 years. The value and satisfac­ tion of my sports days, however, far exceed the price paid. ”

SPRING 2004 • PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL • 19 Hilleary Thomas ’84 HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE Hilleary Thomas ’84, who received both the Silver and Gold “P” as an athlete at PDS, as well as varsity letters in five sports, says she “can’t possibly relay the importance of my entire PDS experience.” “Sports were not only an outlet from a challenging academic environment, but a way for me to express who I was, whether in a third-grade game of tetherball or a double-overtime victory against cross-town rivals,” she added. She played varsity field hockey, basketball, ice hockey, lacrosse and tennis. Hilleary served as captain of her field hockey, basketball and ice hockey teams at PDS. Her brothers, Christopher ‘Kip Thomas ’82 and Stephen Thomas 81, and sister, Elizabeth (Lissa) Thomas Hastings ’76, attended PDS. Both Stephen and Kip were three-sport athletes. After graduation Hilleary went to St. Lawrence University where she proved, again, to be a superior athlete, excelling in field hockey and lacrosse. Her coach, Dotty Hall, head women’s field hockey and lacrosse coach at St. Lawrence University for 35 years, says “Hilleary was one of the the master’s program in City and Regional Planning at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.” Returning to the fields as a senior, she received the college’s Hazeltine Klevenow Award for Best Female Athlete at graduation. The award reflected three years of teamwork and talent as a member of the varsity field hockey, ice hockey and lacrosse teams, and being named Most Valuable Player in each sport. She was an Olympic Training Team finalist in field hockey. In college, she says, “I was fortunate enough to continue to team with Michele Plante ’78 and classmate Harriette Brainard Willis.” Her teammate, Michele, was inducted into the Hall of Fame last spring. PDS coaches Jan Baker, Melissa Magee, and Darin Hicks ’73 all get high marks from her. She praises former PDS Director of Athletics fan Baker, who founded the Hall of Fame, “because she had a vision for girls athletics at PDS that made PDS notorious among the New England College Coaches for the caliber of female athletes.” Coach Magee, she says, “was the best athlete 1 ever met, or probably ever will meet.” And Darin Hicks, Sarah recalls “is a person who embodied the concept of'having fun out there’ and was always so positive.”

SPRING 2004 • PRINCETON DAY SCHOOL • 27 CELEBRATING THE LIFE Gary M. C. Lott

1935-2003

Gary Lott’s paintings grace the cover of this Journal. Gary, a beloved history teacher, died last November at the age of 68, after a second bout with cancer. “He called himself a Sunday painter,’’ says his widow, Joyce Lott, about the water color paintings, like the ones on our cover, that fill the walls of the home they shared for nearly 20 years in Rocky Hill. “His love of nature is in his artwork,’’ says Joyce, who will witness his vitality as the beautiful gardens he created at their home continue in the cycle of life. Surrounded by his art, she finds solace. Although he began painting at the age of nine — his mother painted too, in New York, for magazine covers — it was merely one dimension of his exuberance felt by those who knew him. “He was such a charmer,” says Joyce about her husband. That “charm,” a charisma he carried with him as teacher, trusted advisor, artist, athlete, coach, mentor and as a human being, made a special mark over the nearly 40 years he taught at PDS. His natural empathy and caring for young people endeared him to countless alumni. A celebration o f his life was held on November 23, 2003, at PDS in the Herbert & Marguerite McAneny Theater. The doors couldn’t contain the overflow of faculty, alumni and members of the PDS community who came to pay tribute to his generous spirit and caring. Gary is survived by his son Carl Lott and his daughter, Sara Lott, class of 1996; stepchildren and their spouses Elizabeth Greenberg and Robert Blecker; Suzanne Greenberg and Michael Smith; and Larry and Kim Greenberg; a grandchild Cory Lott; and step-grandchildren Matthew and Emily Blecker, Joel, Claire and Noah Smith, and David Greenberg.

A t the request o f his family\ a memorial fin d has been established. Donations may be made to the Gary Lott Memorial Fund at Princeton Day School P.O. Box 75, Princeton New Jersey 08542.

Their oldest daughter, properties of plants: to make the gillyflower double, to change the lily’s hue, or to grow a cherry without a stone. Green Desire describes the innovative design of the old manuals, examining how writers and printers marketed them as fiction as well as practical advice for aspiring gardeners. Along with this attention to the delights of reading, it analyzes the strange dignity and pleasure of garden labor and the division of men’s and women’s roles in creating garden art. The book ends by recounting the heated debate over how much people could do to create marvels in their own gardens. For writers and readers alike, these green desires inspired dreams of power and self-improvement, fantasies of beauty achieved without work, and hopes for order in an unpredictable world — not so different from the dreams of gardeners today. — Cornell University Press

A Sense of Things The Object Matter o f American Literature by Bill Brown ’74

In May 1906, the Atlantic Monthly commented that “Bill Brown takes up the Americans live not merely in an age of things, but under the story of commodification tyranny of them, and that in our relentless effort to sell, and its discontents as it purchase, and accumulate things, we do not possess them as reaches a climax of a kind in much as they possess us.
