Lyndon Institute Dance Company’s Annual Spring Dance Recital The public was invited to enjoy the talents of the Lyndon Institute Dance Company during their Spring Dance Recital on Friday, May 18th in the LI Auditorium.

The annual spring dance recital is an opportunity for family, friends, the general public, and the LI community to come together and share in the learning of students in the Lyndon Institute Dance Program in the spring semester.

The various dance styles and genres highlighted in the spring recital included: post-modern, modern contemporary, tap dance, musical theater jazz, lyrical jazz, traditional jazz, swing jazz, lyrical ballet, contemporary ballet, jazz hip- hop, and interpretive dance. All of the choreographies featured are part of the LI dance curriculum which is aligned with the National Core Dance Standards and are collaborative products by the dance students and the LI Dance Teacher, Rebecca McGregor.

By exemplifying these standards, the individual student members of the society promote an awareness of art and become active participants in the education process at their school and in their community. Additionally, students are required to participate in community service and volunteerism in the visual arts, enroll in a fine arts class or have already completed a fine arts course, and attend NAHS meetings and activities regularly. The students who demonstrated the qualities associated with the NAHS criteria inducted this year include:

“It is a great privilege to teach art to such a dedicated and compassionate group of young people. Each day I am awe-struck by the incredible skill and talent that I am surrounded by. As I watch my students flourish with their artistic techniques, and develop a sense of curiosity about the arts, I have to wonder how art will impact their lives in the long-run,” offered LI Visual Art Teacher Cynthia Helmbreck. “Wherever their path leads, I am certain that this group of students will always cherish their time spent at Lyndon Institute’s Norris Center for the Arts, and I hope that they continue to pursue artistic endeavors for many years to come.”

The Society welcomed artist and author Cynthia DeKett, also known as C.A. Morganis, as keynote speaker. DeKett is an artist, author, and educator from northern Michigan, who now makes her home in the mountains of the . She is the artist and author of Emrysia: The Three Sisters Trilogy, and is currently completing illustrations for a new children’s book on the fears associated with diagnostic testing, with which she hopes to raise funds for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth. She is a cum laude graduate of Ferris State University’s Commercial Art program, and was awarded a certificate of completion from the Institute of Children’s Literature in Connecticut. She has also studied under artists Margaret Tvedten, Pat Deadman, and Stephen Huneck.

As an educator, DeKett provided art instruction while in Michigan, and taught music to the students at Good Shepherd Catholic School in St. Johnsbury.

10 VIKING VOICE LI Alumni Profile - Eric Blake ‘94

Brooklin Boat Yard Project Manager Eric Blake recently applied his skills to support the creation of a sculpture commemorating lives lost in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Born and raised in the Northeast Kingdom, Eric started building canoes in his father’s shop when old enough to run a table saw. During his time at LI, Eric took several courses that helped to fuel his passions including courses related to drafting, manufacturing, and engineering. Following graduation, he enrolled in the Landing School’s small boat design program in Kennebunkport, Maine and completed the City and Guilds Diploma Program in Traditional Boat Construction at Lowestoft, . Since then he has worked in boatyards on both the east and west coasts. In his current role with the Brooklin Boat Yard, located in Brooklin, Maine, he supervised the construction of a series of yachts before beginning work in support of the development of the commemorative sculpture.

The wooden sculpture was designed by Massachusetts artists Rich Duca and Meredith Bergmann, both of whom worked in partnership with employees as it was constructed on site at the Brooklin Boat Yard. The sculpture, which is now complete, rests on four pedestals and has four circles of fiber-optic lighting inside, each of which represents one of the four teachers killed during the school shooting. It is displayed as the centerpiece of the Southern Connecticut State University Reflection Garden.

The Southern Connecticut University website states “The Reflection Garden Project strives to promote our communities’ shared experiences of joy and sorrow through the creation of a public garden on the Southern campus to highlight social justice and service to others.”

26 VIKING VOICE LI Letter From Alumni President Tim Kirchoff Greetings Alumni and Friends of Lyndon Institute, President: Timothy L. Kirchoff ‘96 As I write this letter the new school year at Lyndon Institute has just Vice President: begun. It is always exciting to see the campus buzzing with activity Michael Matteis ‘89 as students move around campus on their way to their next class. Although I took it for granted when attending LI, I found that the time Treasurer: management skills required to move around an actual campus to Jeff T. O’Meara ‘04 arrive at class on time was important when I moved on to college. Since moving from building to building was something I was quite Clerk of the Corporation: familiar with, I feel it made the transition to a large college campus Heather (Root) Wheeler ‘90 much easier than it would have been otherwise.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES This year’s Alumni weekend was another success. The rain held off for the Alumni Golf Board Members: Mickey (Sanderson) Richards ‘71 tournament and the All Class Social keeps getting bigger and better. It was great to see Paul E. Wheeler ‘74 people dancing the night away to the sounds of Raized on Radio. The Alumni Cookout Kathy (Jackson) Smith ‘93 and campus tours brought many people back to spend some time enjoying LI’s beautiful Candace E. Dane ‘74 campus. We’d love to see more people come to campus during the weekend, even if it is Paula (Graves) Gaskin ‘71 just to take a look around. Kathy (Bassett) Newland ‘67 Sherry (Ronan) Noyes ‘63 I’d like to welcome Monica Franz Newell ’88 as our Alumni Office/Museum volunteer. Lindsay (Jones) Carpenter ‘02 Monica has already started going through the many pieces of LI history that are in the museum to better track it all. We hope to be rotating the museum displays on a periodic Lifetime Members: basis. The museum is a wonderful place to visit to look back through LI’s history. In Dwight A.
