This year Maharishi School celebrates the 30th anniversary of our Middle and Upper Schools. In 1981 an intrepid group of educators and 34 founding students filled the gap between the ele- mentary school and university to complete the world’s first Kinder- garten through Ph.D. Consciousness-Based system of education.

Today we can look back on A Record of Excellence: The Remarkable Success of Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment, as Executive Director Dr. titled his book. Year after year, our students have demonstrated the effectiveness of education for enlightenment, a holistic approach for inner development along with outer success, what we call 200% of life.

This past year was no exception. We continued our tradition of excel- lence in academic and extracurricular competitions and extended our Dr. Richard Beall Consciousness-Based connections around the world, from Italy (the Head of Maharishi School destination for the senior trip) to China (with new school partnerships and prospective students). “The world is our family,” and expanding our boarding school program will enable us to open our arms even wider in the years to come.

So what started as a dream thirty years ago continues to unfold with new possibilities. It is our responsibility, privilege, and joy to continue this legacy and to honor our Founder, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. SScchhooooll CCoouunncciill

The School Council is respon- sible for the daily administration of the School. It is comprised of the School Head, Directors of Lower, Girls, and Boys Schools, and other administrative leaders. They work in collaboration to provide holistic guidance of our aca- demic program, finances, personnel, physical plant, and expansion programs.

This research is narrowed down to a specific topic and the students form hypotheses. Once they have established their main idea, the students follow a specific scientific method, involving constant controls and controlled variables, in order to test their hypothesis. Once they have gathered sufficient data, the students proceed to use statistical analysis to inter- pret their raw data. Based on their procedure and results, the students are able to form a conclusion which either supports or disproves their hypotheses. The meticulous methods these students follow, along with their motiva- tion and love of science, is a formula for success!

Mr. Incorvia’s Project-oriented classes took time to shoot video. He says, “After our poetry unit we moved onto music. Students broke into bands. Each band composed, recorded, and edited their own original song. They then shot music videos for their compositions and put them on YouTube.”

This is learning through doing with Ms. Hays, who extended Mr. Incorvia’s music unit in science class. Students learned about different types of waves and the effects of changing the amplitude and frequency of sound waves. They researched the wavelengths of different pitches and created wind, string, and percussion instru- ments, writing and per- forming instrumental songs, record- ing them, and putting the sound files on their websites.

Class Events CCllaassss EEvveennttss 35 The excitement in Mrs. Hall’s class is using classroom computers and a projector. Teaching from her website and with books, American Literature has gone tech. The equipment came from yet another Hall con- test win (photo and essay), this time from Hewlett Packard. Now each learner has a netbook to use, and even homework is posted on student websites.

Dick Reed, County Supervisor, gave a courthouse tour to students. After their tour of Jefferson County’s newly renovated courthouse, Middle School students reenacted the Simeon Bushnell trial from the Civil War Era involving the Fugitive Slave Act. Mr. Armstrong over- saw the proceedings as judge. The attor- neys were portrayed by ninth grade students Leanna Miller, Solaris Nite, Camille Goodale and Michael Corazza. The defendant was portrayed by Mr. Incorvia.

Through their training they are well prepared for anything. These boys have all spent about 12 years in the scouting program. Their participation, from Cub to Eagle Scouts, has given a well rounded, practical component to their education.

Derek Thatcher is a Senior Patrol Leader in scouting, and likes how scouting has taught him to be pre- pared for anything, and the confi- dence he feels in knowing what to do if there is an emergency. He has learned to appreciate nature, and especially remembers a 10-day surfing campout in the outer banks of North Carolina. Derek’s Eagle Scout project was to refurbish the Maharishi School photography classroom and dark- room. This is valued and used every day this year.

Ryan Smelcer is a Life Scout, and really appreciates learning to live outside, and to work with and lead others. He has learned fire building, Atreya Dey is a Life Scout woodworking, basic tracking, who is living life to the fullest. orienteering and navigation, He is proud of helping to sand- canoeing, hiking skills, and bag during the 2008 & 2010 outdoor cooking.

The Iowa High School Speech Association (IHSSA) is a drama competi- tion involving schools from all over Iowa. It is a three-level competition begin- ning with District competitions in the middle of January, to State competitions in late January-early February, and culminating in an All-State competition mid-February. Teams are selected from the State level performances to either perform or be recognized at the All-State competition. If a school is selected to perform then that team has the chance to compete for the Critics’ Choice award. Great drama coaches from across the United States are responsible for giving an award to the performance that they find the most pleasing and well done in their area. There are ten areas: Solo Mime, Group Mime, Musical The- ater, Readers Theater, Choral Reading, Television Broadcasting, Radio Broad- casting, One Act, Group Improv, and Ensemble Acting. This year our school had nine performance entries and four went on to perform at All-State.

The destination for this year’s senior trip? Italy! Ask any senior girl or boy and they will tell you that the trip was an experi- ence that they will never forget. “The Italians have such a different cul- ture from ours, from taking two hours to eat each meal, to the big hand gestures that almost seem a part of their language; it’s a culture filled with passion.” The boys vis- ited the middle school in Catania where all 144 stu- dents have learned the Tran- scendental Meditation technique. To use the boys’ own words: “Here is a taste of our visit: the kids were ex- tremely excited, and we found out how rock stars feel.” The boys also went to Pompeii be- fore moving on to Rome, where they toured the Colosseum and the Vatican, and met up with the girls to talk with the Governors from the Italian TM Movement.

Senior Trip 53

The girls ar- rived first in Flo- rence, where they stayed in a convent and toured the his- torical city. “Every- thing there was a work of art,” one of the girls said about Florence, “from the actual famed art pieces housed in museums, to the rolling hills and castles of the coun- tryside.” While in Florence the girls saw the Duomo, Michelangelo’s David, and Botticelli’s Birth of Venus, to name a few things. They also attended the Italian Movement’s spring celebration and spoke with the meditators there. The girls took a day trip to Sienna before heading to Rome where they went to the Forum and the Vatican. The overall consensus was that the trip was incred- ible. From seeing remarkable art and architecture to experiencing the international TM Movement, it was definitely one of the highlights of their time at school. Not to mention, “Italian pizza is so much better than American pizza. There’s no comparison!”

Our team is the league soccer champions, after scoring an unexpected 2-1 victory over Cono. The Pioneers had lost the previous 2 meetings to Cono by scores of 5-0 and 2-1, but worked hard over the last 2 weeks, and through an exciting heroic effort were able to stymie Cono 2-1. Scoring for the Pioneers was Sam Arsanjani on a beautiful passing play from Thomas Weiss and Sky Nite, and the winning goal was a header by James Francis off a free kick. Coach Higgins was impressed with his team’s effort, especially in the final 25 minutes, where Cono was doing everything they could to tie up the game. Higgins gave special recognition to the Pioneer defense and the goal-keeping of Atreya Dey.

This was an encouraging and exciting year in track and field for both boys and girls. Both teams had a full schedule with 10 or more track meets. The squads were young and made a lot of progress as the season progressed. Next year could be a banner year for our track program. The highlight for the boys was their conference championship run in the 4 x 400 relay. The boys (Sky Nite, Laser Nite, Brian Prather-Huff, Dillon Evertsen) came out of nowhere to stun their competition with the close victory.

The highlight of the girls season was the amazing performance put on by Essa Johnson. Adding the long jump to her repertoire and jumping for the first time since middle school, Essa broke the school record on 5 occasions. Her top jump was 16’5.75” breaking the old record of 15’3” . She also qualified for the State Meet and placed 9th overall. She placed first in four meets and was never worse than 4th all year. Track and Field TTeennnniiss BBooyyss 3

The girls tennis team graduated 5 seniors last year so this became a rebuilding year for the Pio- neers. The team had been in the elite 8 in team ten- nis the last 4 years. Junior Minna Mohammadi qualified for state singles this year and this was the first time in 3 years that Maharishi School was represented at the singles state tournament. This was a year of much progress for the team as a whole as a number of girls were playing Varsity for the first time. Next year looks great for the Pioneers as Varsity players Pearl, Sophia, Camille, Flower and Minna will all be returning. With a number of new recruits being added to the squad life is looking good for the girls tennis team next year. Tennis GGoollff 5

After the regular season, the golf team had two performance highlights in the post season. Firstly, Prasad Monk and Paul DeAngelis both qualified as All Conference Honorable Mention due to their fine play at the Super Conference tournament championship. Then, at the first round of the State Champi- onship, Sectionals, the team got it all together to come within five strokes of qualifying for the second round. They bested their previous low score of the year, 392, by 27 strokes for an overachieving-when-it- counts 365 that came up just shy of advancement. Though the team didn't make a big splash on the scoreboard, it did hit the mark in the heart. We ex- panded from our low last year of only four players to seven players this year. The camaraderie and per- sonal growth of this happy bunch signals a comeback in numbers that will continue now that we have established a golf PE program for grades one through eight. We expect to have ten to twelve players next year. With the increased numbers and pre-high school skills development of the PE program, we are look- ing forward to some strong years ahead.

The middle level girls’ team gave an outstanding performance that wowed the appraisers and earned them 5th place. The team’s solution involved both acting and technical (engineering) elements and included an amazing gown created out of old copies of the Fairfield Ledger.

In reflecting on what it means to be a pioneer, I can’t help Virginia Buckley Elysia Belilove but look back at the evolution of the term in our understanding GIRLS PIONEER AWARD Performing Arts Penelope Makeig and how it has grown in meaning as we ourselves have grown. In our uncomplicated English Lila Cutter lower school years, I think it’s fair to say that the term Mathematics Colette Clark pioneer began as nothing Science Pandora Wadsworth more than what we viewed as possibly the least- Social Studies Colette Clark threatening school mascot ever.
