While others were either not in session or were fully remote we tried hard to make the school year as normal as possible. There were, however, some things missing…like athletics for two thirds of the year, dances, and other special events. And I know that a lot of what we had to do to be compliant and still stay in session was not popular with many parents and students. But, we got through it! Are we better for it? Only time will tell! I am not totally sure about how emotionally ready we were for what transpired over the past year. Nor am I totally sure about how we may handle the next year or two. What I am sure about is that after participating in remote learning with all of our students for about six weeks this year, there is no substitution for in-person instruction. Our teachers deserve numerous red apples for their job this year during the remote learning phase we were forced to endure. With all of that behind us, it is time to discuss about what may lie ahead of us.

  • Costa-Gavras: a Retrospective
    The Museum of Modern Art For Immediate Release March 1990 COSTA-GAVRAS: A RETROSPECTIVE April 13 - 24, 1990 A complete retrospective of twelve feature films by Costa-Gavras, the Greek-born French filmmaker, opens at The Museum of Modern Art on April 13, 1990. Both thought provoking and entertaining, Costa-Gavras's suspenseful mysteries deal with compelling social issues and are often based on actual political incidents. His stories involve the motivations and misuses of power and often explore the concept of trust in personal and public relationships. His films frequently star such popular actors as Fanny Ardant, Jill Clayburgh, Jessica Lange, Jack Lemmon, Yves Montand (who stars in six of the films), Simone Signoret, Sissy Spacek, and Debra Winger. Opening with Z (1969), one of his best-known works, COSTA GAVRAS: A RETROSPECTIVE continues through April 24. New prints of Costa-Gavras's early French films have been made available for this retrospective. These include his first film, The Sleeping Car Murders (1965), a thriller about the hunt for a murderer on an overnight train; the American premiere of the original version of One Man Too Many/Shock Troops (1967), a story of resistance fighters who free a group of political prisoners from a Nazi jail; and Family Business (1986), a drama about the transformation of a family crime ring into the local affiliate of an international syndicate. Also featured are Z (1969), an investigation into the murder of a politician; State of Siege (1972), a fictionalized version of the 1970 kidnapping of an American diplomat in Uruguay; and Special Section -more- 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y.

    THE LIBRARY OF JOHN GILMARY SHEA: EXPLORING THE BOOK COLLECTING MIND OF A NINETEENTH-CENTURY HISTORIAN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Karen H. O’Connell, M.S.L.S. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 4, 2011 Copyright © 2011 by Karen H. O’Connell All Rights Reserved ii THE LIBRARY OF JOHN GILMARY SHEA: EXPLORING THE BOOK COLLECTING MIND OF A NINETEENTH-CENTURY HISTORIAN Karen H. O’Connell, M.S.L.S. Mentor: William J. O’Brien, Ph.D. ABSTRACT Since there have been books to collect, there have been book collectors. When Renaissance technology brought about the possibility for a wider distribution of books (i.e., knowledge) with the development of printing using moveable type, books became less unique; however, books remained dear for several hundred years. And beyond their tomes, book collectors have existed to varying heights of fame throughout history. Is it the books collected or the collectors themselves that should be remembered? Perhaps it is both. There have been memorable collectors from the Middle Ages through the nineteenth century, when again, technology changed and expanded the dissemination of knowledge. These include Bishop Richard de Bury, Jean Grolier, Jacques-Auguste de Thou, the Marquesa de Pompadour, Sir John Soane, Thomas Jefferson, James Lenox, and Rush C. Hawkins. John Gilmary Shea was a nineteenth-century book collector of great depth; but who today remembers him as such? Historians go in and out of favor, as historical trends change.
