ACADEMY JOURNAL / FALL 2011 1 editor’s note

The LA Experience I attended an independent school conference recently at which one of the keynote speakers made several sobering points, substantiated by empirical as well as anecdotal evidence, about the future viability and sustainability of the traditional independent school model, given changing demographics and economic realities. Rising tuition rates, increased requests for financial aid by all economic classes, the rising cost of living, slower financial growth rates, and a tighter job market, combined with a dropping American birthrate, have created a scenario never Dave Casanave before experienced by independent schools. This scenario highlights the need to clearly define and articulate the uniqueness—the “value-added,” in business terms—of what it is we do. Never before in the history of private education has it been more necessary to clearly define who we are, what we do, and why what we do is especially good for students. In this edition of the Academy Journal, we celebrate those value-added elements of a Lawrence Academy education. They range from unique classes and outstanding and arts programs, to memorable learning experiences and unique mentoring opportunities. LA is truly the sum of its parts, much like the quilt on the cover of this edition of the Journal, which was stitched together by students in a Winterim this year. In addition to designing and sewing their own quilts, they each contributed one square to the larger quilt, which was auctioned off this past spring. The elements that make up an LA education are varied and individual, but they share a common purpose: to help young people discover and develop their individual talents, capabilities, and interests. The student profiles of Alex Vassilakos and Mike Lero, for instance, highlight how, through the theatre program and Winterim respectively, LA has helped them to define and gain confidence in who they are. The profile of alumnus Damon Corkin ’95 further amplifies how deeply students are influenced by their LA education. Damien writes, “I am frequently reminded that my experience at Lawrence Academy changed my life forever. I would not be running a travel company in Quito, Ecuador, if it weren’t for LA’s excellent and dedicated faculty …” Speaking of faculty, you’ll enjoy reading about Theatre Director Joel Sugerman and science teacher and coach Katie Quist. While these have very different stories to share, both speak to the strong threads of growth and expectation that stitch the many-colored pieces of the LA quilt firmly together. As you browse through the commencement pictures, read about the winter and spring sports seasons, peruse the Class Notes, and read the other articles in this edition of the Academy Journal, you’ll recognize familiar LA themes—LA as a place to be challenged both in the classroom and out; a place to try new activities; a place that gives students the skills to think for themselves; a place that actively supports one’s development as an individual; and a place that is rigorous and challenging, yet supportive and caring. The value-added isn’t hard to find or feel at LA. I hope that with each edition of the Journal and the Elm Tree, as well as the ongoing stories posted on the website (www.lacademy.edu), you’ll realize how each of us associated with LA—whether a student or faculty member, alum or friend—plays an important part in creating the rich, unique, vibrant quilt that is the LA experience. Enjoy this issue of the Academy Journal. If you have story ideas or comments, please email us at: [email protected]. – Dave Casanave, Director of Communications & Marketing

The cast: standing L–R: Rosie Dempsey ‘11, Sam Gilboard ‘11, Zach Sarkis ‘11, Michael Lero ‘11, and Hannah Corbin ‘11; sitting in front: Becca Gilbert ‘12 and Laura Greenwood ‘11 “Acting is a question of absorbing other people’s personalities and adding some of your own experience.” Jean-Paul Sartre

Kelly (left) and Anna Banker (right) ’11 embodied this quote by the French existential philosopher Sartre with their original play, heartskin.

Below are excerpts from a piece called “Creating Theater with Heart,” written by student Laura Greenwood ’11 on her experience of being part of the heartskin cast. “In the spring of 2010, I was working with Anna and Kelly Banker on their production at Lawrence Academy. Little did I know there was already an inkling of their next show in the making. heartskin was first inspired by Eve Ensler’s book, I Am an Emotional Creature. The book is a collection of monologues from the perspective of different teenage girls. I’ve read the book and can see how heartskin uses a similar style of confronting issues openly and honestly.

What makes heartskin special is that the script comes from our peers. In the fall of 2010, Anna and Kelly distributed a simple template that allowed students at Lawrence Academy and Weston High School the freedom to write about practically anything. They outlined a few specific topics, but left the concept of their play in our hands. Each entry was anonymous, which allowed us to write our thoughts truthfully. The submissions varied from poetry to lyrics, hidden secrets to blunt opinions. I wrote for their play before I knew I was in it. For me, the experience was therapeutic. I wrote without boundaries and without the pressure of a grade. My submission, despite being for their play, was mostly for me, and I think a lot of students felt the same way. Anna and Kelly received over 300 submissions from students across the state. They spent the next month reading each of them personally. I’ve heard from them that the submissions varied from being hilarious to horrifying.

With heartskin, I feel personally responsible to express what my peers submitted. Their stories are ours to tell and deliver. This responsibility unites our cast. We read our peers’ words, each other’s words, and words of strangers, because heartskin is about confronting the issues that teenagers face.

A play about teenagers is often written off as cliché and full of angst. The Bankers created an inventive way to present these issues in heartskin. Laura Greenwood ‘11

That’s unusual and an example of what makes this place special.” Brendan Colton ‘14 and Katie Indeed, the NGP model can be found throughout LA. There are numerous daily points between students and adults at LA. Those touch points are a key, perhaps THE key, to what makes the LA experience unique. Whether it’s with an advisor, a coach, a dorm parent, a faculty member, or a staff member, there are many times each day that students at LA have contact with adults, providing for opportunities to develop supportive, mentoring relationships. “This reminds me of being an undergrad,” says Katie, “where there is a lot of accessibility to your professors. There is so much opportunity for help outside of the classroom.” That accessibility to professors, coaches, and other adults leads to the growth of the family feeling that exists at LA. “At any given time, I have kids in my dorm watching sports, playing games, or cooking with me. We just become a family. It’s nice, because I get to meet students and faculty from all over the world. I’ve had so much interaction with the Chinese students, for example, which has been so much fun.” Katie on the field with Katherine Melvin ‘13

The character and friendships that develop are what the kids remember and take with them.” Character development opportunities abound in the world of athletics. “Whether you’re on an undefeated team or a team that didn’t win a game, similar lessons can be learned.

I won’t let you put that in!” Shelton ‘12 and Izzy Lawrence ‘10, November 2009 Wide-eyed, animated, delight evident in smile and voice, Alex Vassilakos ’12 is telling me about her cherished summer job at the Merrimack Repertory Theatre in her home town of Lowell. Index fingers extended, her hands are whirligigs, changing directions frequently as she spins the scintillating saga of Alex and the MRT. Now one of the “big people” at the highly respected rep company’s summer camps, Alex started her long relationship with MRT back in 1998, when she enrolled in their Young Artists at Play program. As a young girl, she also acted in a couple of Lowell Youth Theater Workshop shows, playing, in a brilliant bit of eight-year-old typecasting, the role of Happy in “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.” A bit

Alex performing in February later, at MRT, she acted in three winter productions and began her long 2011 dance concert run as a teaching assistant. Today, Alex works with both elementary- schoolers and sixth-graders at their summer theatre camp for kids. Admittedly most comfortable with the older kids because they’re “open,” she notes with a smile (actually, she notes everything with a smile) that they often look at the three rings she wears on her left hand and ask if she’s married. We trade laughs over how clueless kids are about adults’ ages, which reminds Alex that she was once in their shoes: she has been involved in the MRT in one way or another since the age of three! Alex isn’t sure where her passion for all things theatre comes from, but says that her mom is the “artsy” one in the family, having started her daughter in ballet classes at a young age. Something clicked, for she studied ballet for nine years and has been a member of Brian Feigenbaum’s dance program at LA since the winter of her freshman year. She’s now a seasoned veteran of the troupe. Her long and deep involvement in LA theatre began at a young age, too. At her first audition for Joel Sugerman on the second day of her freshman year, Alex was the youngest student there, and was “very intimidated” by all the juniors and seniors (here the hands really start twirling) until she met Rosie Dempsey ’11, who was “being nice” to her; they soon realized that they had known each other as young children. Alex got a good part in that play, The Visit by Friedrich Dürrenmatt, and went on to act in two productions as a sophomore before turning her energies to the production side, serving as stage manager—and a contributing writer—for the 2010 winter musical, Barefoot...and Late for History, an original story based on several students’ dreams. Winterim 2009, Something for Nothing Players The title, in fact, came from one of her own. We didn’t ask for details. “So what are you going to be doing with all this in 30 years?” Another big smile, and the hands start again. “I know I want to do something involving the arts,” she says. She looks around, as if to make sure no one is listening. “Don’t put this in the article, but I love doing things that are fairly interesting, that involve some sort of drama or ... um ... scandal.” In a stage whisper reserved for really juicy gossip, she confides to me that her parents already want her to write a movie script about some family ghosts buried in the murky past. I’ll buy the first ticket.

My Winterim Experience

by Damien Corkin ‘95 I am reminded frequently that my experience at Lawrence Academy changed my life forever. I would not be running a travel company in Quito, Ecuador, if it weren’t for LA’s excellent, dedicated faculty and commitment to promoting experiential learning through the Winterim program. Little did I know at the time, my sophomore year Winterim adventure to Ecuador would plant the seeds for an incredible life journey that has been enriched with language, travel, and lots of Salsa dancing. That journey has now come full circle with my involvement in LA’s current Winterim program in Ecuador. In the spring of 1993, I was fortunate to be accepted to the Ecuador Winterim, which was led by Jim Serach and Jerry Wooding, two of my favorite faculty members, who are extremely knowledgeable about Ecuador and its tropical Damien with his wife, Angela Véliz, and their two-year-old ecosystems.

In 2000, I received my bachelor’s degree in International Spanish for the Professions, with a minor in Business, from the University of Colorado. After college, I was eager to get a job that would allow me to continue exploring the world and speaking Spanish.
