campaign. This new approach is working, and the Rich Hall roof renovation is the first major evidence of its effectiveness.

In addition, our focus on capital priorities is becoming more intentional, which will maximize budget predictability and admission appeal, give direction to annual capital improvement items, and provide the best possible learning environment, improving each year, for our current students and families. The Rich Hall roof is just the beginning.

During the next year we will also be rebuilding the Rich Hall portico, incorporating a ramp for increased accessibility. This will not only give the front of Rich Hall a much-needed face-lift, but it will also make our most central building more accessible for people of all ages and abilities. And finally, we will replace all of the windows and restore the traditional, period façade of Rich Hall.

All of these current projects will also increase our energy efficiency, improve the visual appeal of a magnificent building and what it communicates about us, and continue to build momentum on the path forward.

This is why the Rich Hall roof project is much more than just a roof. It symbolizes the rising and pervasive sense of positive energy and confidence that is building at WMA, and the promise of what is to come next.

The repair and renovaTion of the Rich Hall roof may not seem particularly exciting to the casual observer, but for the broader WMA community it represents a lot more than just a roof. It is a milestone on the path forward and a positive outlook for the future of the Academy.

In previous issues we have talked about our restructuring of the budget so that annual fund dollars support growth, about increased

administrative efficiency and about our renewed attention on the experience of the students and the continued development of our mission. These efforts and their effects on our budget, our program and our admission attractiveness have converged to allow the roof project to happen.

Still, this may not seem particularly exciting … unless understood within the context that completing this project now is only possible because of the tireless efforts during the last 30 years of former heads Dick Malley and Rodney LaBrecque, the Trustees, staff and volunteers who worked with them, and the foundation that they all provided for our recent efforts to push the Academy to the next stage of its evolution. Without that work, we would not be in the position we are now to better utilize your support to move

our school forward. This seemingly simple roof project is, in reality, a pivotal step in the path forward for WMA, which signals a dynamic shift in the institutional ethos.

Central to this shift is that the renovation demonstrates a stronger command of our resources and is funded through our existing revenues and current fundraising efforts rather than the result of a targeted fundraising

Academy Board of Trustees approached S. Prestley Blake during the 1970s after the Academy unexpectedly found itself in a pinch.

“It’s a long, long story,” explained Mr. Blake, co-founder of Wilbraham-based Friendly’s Ice Cream. “The state forced the Academy to spend money on one of the halls, and that took all the money the school planned to use to build a new dorm. Someone asked me if I would go to the school. I think it was (former Board of Trustees member) Bud Rothery. The school was desperate.

“We went down to see (Reader’s Digest owner) DeWitt Wallace. I got the idea to do a (fundraising) challenge. So we were sitting around and having lunch, and he asked me what

have I done, and I said I’ve done everything I can. He said if I gave $50,000 more, he would give $200,000, that way the school would have

the $250,000 to finish the dorm. I had already given all I could, but I realized if I gave another $50,000, I could save the school.”

Led by the two financial giants, Wallace Blake Dormitory was completed in 1976. It gave the Academy a new dorm and, just as importantly, the school avoided an embarrassing dilemma.

And since that first major donation, Mr. Blake and his wife Helen have been great supporters of the school, donating literally millions upon millions of dollars despite having no direct connection to WMA. Why? The answer is simple: people.

“Pres is influenced by people, and when you see who has graduated from the Academy and their continued interest, that’s inspiring,” Mrs. Blake said. “I’m interested in the Academy because of the people and the results. I was friends with Billy Guerin’s (’89) parents, and his dad (Bill) was on the Board of Trustees. Between them and (Mathematics Department member) Alan Sherman, who was working on a master’s in math

with me at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and after I married Pres and the Blake Middle School was built, I thought that the people who were teaching there were doing a great job. They were so into teaching.”

Head of School Brian Easler said the Academy has embraced the close relationship with the Blakes.

“Aside from the obvious influence of the Blakes becoming involved in the Academy when they had no formal connection with the school, except its presence in the town of Wilbraham, which was

important to them, they have stayed involved with the school and have become increasingly more generous and supportive of our program,” Mr. Easler said. “They truly are members of our community and we are so grateful for everything they’ve done.”

The Blakes’ contributions to the Academy escalated upon the arrival of Dick Malley as head of school in 1989. Mr. Blake recognized and respected Mr. Malley’s work ethic and dedication to the

school during his 13-year tenure at the Academy. Mr. Blake was always quick to offer one of his

“challenges” to help raise money for projects, such as the Blake Middle School, the Rodney and Shirley LaBrecque House and the turf field, as well as major renovations to the campus center and athletic center.

“Dick Malley was working so hard at raising money for the school,” said Mr. Blake, 102. “It was awful hard, awful hard. I knew how hard it was.”

Fourteen years after his retirement from WMA, Mr. Malley still stays in regular contact with the Blakes. He, more than anyone, knows how much the Academy benefitted from their unselfish support.

“The Blakes cared deeply about helping educational institutions like WMA that served students who were committed to working hard to discover and develop their talent and interests,” Mr. Malley said. “When I think about what the Blakes did for WMA and other area educational institutions, I don’t see the names of those schools — I see countless names of students who were able to receive a superb education because of the Blakes. They understood that the bottom line on the balance sheet for a school was not a number, but the name of a child! Many girls and boys, now women and men, who never met Helen or Pres, are where they are today because of the Blakes’ deep conviction in the value of education and their love for the community in which they lived and worked.

“Had it not been for Pres and Helen Blake, there is no question in my mind that the Wilbraham & Monson that is thriving today would not have made it through the lean years of the 1990s.”

In their own style, Mr. Malley and (former Head of School) Mr. LaBrecque took the school to new heights during their roles as head of school, and the Academy continues to trend

“I feel good that Brian is the protégé of those former heads of school,” Mrs. Blake said.

WMA lands 9 awards at statewide art competition

Wilbraham & Monson Academy might be the Global and art school.

The 2016 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards honored nine students from the Academy Jan. 28. SungMin “Steve” Chu ’16, Drew Morrison ’16, Muyi “Jennifer” Zhao ’16, Wilasinee “Bee” Daloonpet ’16, Insun Kim ’18, Celina Rivernider ’19, Elias Skillings ’17, Bingchen “Sam” Wang ’16 and Wayne Wu ’16 were recognized by the statewide competition.

“It shows the students are taking visual arts seriously, and they see this as a path toward college and going beyond to professional careers that it’s not just an activity to do on

the side to supplement academics,” WMA Fine & Performing Arts Department Chair Paul Bloomfield said. “This is actually integral for a fair number of students.”

For their gold key recognition, Steve and Drew advanced to the regional competition.

Steve earned three gold keys and an honorable mention, with his gold key total being more than any WMA student in recent history.

“You won’t find many students from any school who earned three gold keys,” Mr. Bloomfield said.

Colin O’Brien ’16 honored for work at Harvard Model Congress

It takes talent and a strong work ethic to stand out among 1,500 peers.

When it comes to politics, Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Colin O’Brien ’16 has plenty of both qualities.

At the closing ceremonies of the 31st session of Harvard Model Congress, Colin received an Award of Excellence, which included being honored with a gavel. The event was held at the Sheraton Boston Hotel Feb. 18–21.

Colin represented Luke Messer, a Republican from Indiana’s 6th District, on the United States House of Representatives Financial Committee. He wrote legislation on Cuban-United States relations, cryptocurrency relations and vaccine injury compensation. He enjoyed the fast pace of the committee work, which included 28 hours in session during a four-day period.

“It’s good to be recognized,” Colin said. “A lot of us put in a lot of work. We did this every day after school for 2–3 months and it’s a good feeling to put all of that knowledge to work and work with others and be rewarded for the effort and collaboration.”

29 earn National French awards

Fantastique!For the second straight year, Wilbraham &

Monson Academy students excelled at Le Grand Concours, aka the National French Contest of the American Association of Teachers of French.

“We’re getting a lot of reinforcement for the quality of our program because so many of our students do well on the regional level and on the national level, so that speaks well for our French program,” World Languages Department Chair Kevin Kane said. “We see that as a positive sign for what we’ve been doing in the past and where we want to go with the program.”

Twenty-nine WMA students earned recognition for their scores on the national exam, including six who ranked very high nationally: Sofia Tosato ’16, Daniel Voronin ’17, Santiago Esquivel Barbosa ’19, Charlotte Derose ’21, Jeremy Dubois ’21 and Rimma Khaziullina ’21.

More than 80,000 students in the United States took the 2016 exam.

Isaias “Ikas” de Brito Trindade ’17 earns Harvard Model UN honor

Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Isaias “Ikas” de Brito Trindade ’17 requested to be more involved at this year’s Harvard Model United Nations.

He was, and he was rewarded for it.At the conclusion of the three-day event in

Boston, which included 3,000 students from throughout the country, Ikas was selected for the Verbal Mention Award for his work with the Cabinet of the Islamic Republic of Iran, circa 1981.

“Ikas’ second year in Model UN was a successful one,” said Center for Entrepreneurial and Global Studies Chair Gina Markowski, who runs WMA’s Model UN with CEGS Department member Gary Cook. “He applied for a Specialized Agency before we even began this academic year in August. He enthusiastically contacted me in July asking for my opinion as to what committee he should apply for. That’s dedication. His passion for Model UN is infectious and he was an instrumental leader for new students this year.”

Ikas proved to be an instrumental leader at the 63rd annual conference as well. He served as Javad Fakoori, Iran’s Minister of Defense and Military Logistics.

“Ikas was able to rely on his research and pre-conference preparation, but also had to adapt to unexpected crises as presented to him by his Dias Staff,” Ms. Markowski explained. “Ikas was able to rewrite the course of history.”

Daniel Qin-Dong ’17 selected for international conference

Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Daniel Qin-Dong ’17 figured he had submitted a worthy paper for the International Conference on Political Science, Sociology and International Relations when the organization referred to him as Dr. Daniel Qin-Dong in an acceptance letter.

Daniel, with the guidance of former faculty Mr. Sean McGrath ’07 of the English Department, presented his interpretation of “Midnight’s Children” at the sixth annual global conference in Singapore Sept. 26–27.

Daniel wrote a sociology paper for Mr. McGrath’s English 10 class two years ago. He took the suggested edits, worked on the paper some more and showed his dad, who is a sociology professor at Westfield State University. Daniel’s dad told him if he kept working on the paper, he could submit it to a conference. Daniel took his dad’s suggestion and was later accepted for the PSSIR conference, which draws university professors, business owners and government officials from around the world.

“All the professors are researching things I want to research in college and in the future,” said Daniel, who plans to pursue a career in international relations or political science.

Mr. Easler serves as co-keynote speaker at conference

Even though he wasn’t in a classroom, Wilbraham & Monson Academy Head of School Brian Easler recently passed a meaningful test.

After giving a three-day presentation to representatives from boarding schools throughout the world at a conference in Florida in early February, Mr. Easler was asked to come back to deliver his educated message at next year’s event.

“It seemed to go well,” Mr. Easler said. “They asked me to be the regular guy. They want me back so I guess I passed the test.”

Mr. Easler was one of two presenters at the Winter Residential Life Workshop, which was hosted by The Association of Boarding Schools. The seminar drew school deans and directors of residential life from 22 schools in the United States, Canada and China.

“This workshop is advertised to every boarding school in the world,” Mr. Easler explained. “Since it’s a faculty of only two, the name Wilbraham & Monson Academy under my name would be in front of every boarding school in the world. That’s good for us.”


WMA science students win national awards

For the second year in a row, students from Wilbraham & Monson Academy earned awards at a contest billed as the world’s largest science competition.

Three groups from Marissa Axtell’s STEM 9 Physics classes were named honorable mention winners at the 24th annual Toshiba/National Science Teachers Association ExploraVision competition, which had a focus on problem-solving, critical thinking and collaboration skills.

one of the 14 Grand Engineering Challenges,” Mrs. Axtell explained. “The students were tasked with envisioning and communicating a new technology that will exist 20 years in the future through collaborative brainstorming and research of current science and technology.

“This is an important competition for us to participate in because it teaches the kids about the engineering design process, and also gives them the skills of technical writing — putting their inventions and ideas into scientific terminology. They get to use their research skills in a scientific kind of way, as opposed to the other research they are doing in their other classes.”

Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Oron Steingrub ’18 (left in photo) and Lucas Roos ’17 were selected to attend the New England Young Writers’ Conference at the Bread Loaf campus of Middlebury College in Vermont May 19–22.

This was the third year in a row that two WMA students were picked for the elite writing program.

“I’m delighted we keep sending two students every year to experience this wonderful program,” WMA Dean of Curriculum Meg Hutcheson said.

“It’s a special place. It sits on top of a mountain and you go to school in a building called ‘The Barn’ and you’re surrounded by wonderful writers and teachers. It’s a wonderful literary experience that Mr. (Tim) Harrington ’73, Ms. (Heidi) Ostendarp, Mr. (Wally) Swanson and I have had through our work and education. We are excited to share the experience with WMA kids. It’s a special program.”

13 students land Latin awards

Wilbraham & Monson Academy has a history of doing very well on the National Latin Exam, and this school year followed that trend.

Thirty-five percent of the Academy students who took the 2016 exam were recognized with awards for their performance.

“Our students in Latin have traditionally had strong results on the national exam,” explained Mr. Kevin Kane, Chair of the World Languages Department. “Our consistent results have always been great reinforcement for the quality of our program, and great recognition for students who may not always be in the limelight.”

More than 150,000 students from all 50 states, as well as 19 countries, took the 2016 exam. Thirteen WMA students garnered honors, including two students — Brendan Kane ’17 and Min Kyum “Jonathan” Kim ’17 — who received the highest award.

Emelia won the Student Photography Contest at the Valley Photographic Center in Springfield with her photo “Water Drops in Space.”

Emelia used her creativity to produce the photo, using the reflective light and shadows in the Academy’s darkroom for the image.

“I put glass over a paper, and I put water on the glass,” Emelia explained. “I put the light on and it made a shadow of the water. It came out really cool.”

Titans VictoriousAnia Axas ’19 sets 3 swim records

Before the final swim meet of the season even began, Ania Axas ’19 had a truly great season for Wilbraham & Monson Academy.

Throw in the season finale and Ania had one of the best swim seasons in Academy history — and she was a freshman.

Ania set two school records at the New England Division III Championships on March 5 at the Canterbury School, establishing marks in the 200 Individual Medley and 100 Butterfly.

As the fourth seed, she bettered her school mark in the 200 IM in the trials before going even faster in the final, when she won the race in two minutes, 10.59 seconds.

“I was hoping, since I was ranked fourth, I wanted to make it to finals and beat my time because I knew I could,” Ania said. “There were a lot of girls from USA Swimming there. I focused on my race. I beat my previous best time

in the morning in the trial, and then I beat it again at night in the final.”

Setting a record in the 100 butterfly was a complete surprise and bonus to her. Her trial time of 1:00.23 topped the school record of 1:01.12, set by Ivy Durepo ’13. Ania placed fifth in the final.

Ania, who was named MVP of the team at the Athletic Awards Ceremony March 3, said her season couldn’t have gone better. She also set a school record (5:16.46) in the 500 freestyle, giving her three school marks in her first season.

“This is the most fun I’ve ever had swimming,” said Ania, who has competed in high-level swim meets throughout the East Coast. “USA Swimming is more individual swimming, but being on a high school team you become family with your team and it helped me grow more.”

Girls’ Basketball earns playoff berth

Months and months of hard work gave the Wilbraham & Monson Academy Girls’ Basketball team the opportunity to do what it loves — to keep working.

The Titans earned the No. 6 seed in the New England Prep School Athletic Council Class C Tournament.

“It’s a proud moment, for the goals we’ve made and now one has been achieved,” Coach Durelle Brown said. “We still have more to reach, but we have that gratification that the hard work has paid off.”

The Titans, who finished 8-11 in 2014–2015, capped the regular season with a record of 14-5, before falling in the quarterfinal round to No. 3 Lexington Christian Academy.

“That’s a great transformation,” Coach Brown said. “It’s a proud moment knowing the program is going in the right direction. It’s a reflection of them and their hard work. I’m a proud coach.”


Christina Felchner ’16 claims top swim award

Christina Felchner ’16 didn’t feel like herself as she entered the final swim meet of her storied career at Wilbraham & Monson Academy. Her right shoulder was giving her problems, and her typical upbeat demeanor was nowhere to be found.

One race changed all that. After sprinting to a win in her preliminary race of the 50 freestyle, Christina won another preliminary before touching first in the final of the 50 and 100 freestyle races at the New England Prep School Athletic Council Division III Championships, held at the Canterbury School on March 5.

Christina received the league’s highest honor at the conclusion of the meet when she was named winner of the Robertson Award.

“I was shocked on that,” said Christina, referring to the league’s top award. “I knew there was a chance I could get that because, generally, in the past, the guys and girls who have won both their individual events and have done well during the season. So I knew there was a chance I could get it but I wasn’t sure. Then Mr. (Dan) Moran said I needed to stay (when the meet was over) because I could possibly get an award.”

And Christina earned that award, winning the 50 free in 25.11 seconds and the 100 free in 54.79. Both were her top times. She won both events last year at the New England meet as well.

Baseball qualifies for third consecutive postseason

The seniors on the Wilbraham & Monson Academy Baseball team picked a great time to play their best game of the season.

With a berth in the playoffs at stake, the Titans beat undefeated Cheshire Academy 3-1 on May 14 to qualify for the postseason for the third season in a row.

“I’m very proud of the guys,” Coach Jim Irzyk said. “The seniors stepped it up, namely Steve Fleury ’16, Andre Marrero ’16, Tom Quinn ’16 and Joey Mack ’16. It was our best game of the year.”

WMA, which lost by a run in the final in 2015, lost at Berkshire School in a Western New England Prep School Baseball League semifinal.

Lauren Poole ’17 adds more track records

For Lauren Poole ’17, that’s four Wilbraham & Monson Academy Spring Track records … and counting.

Lauren set her second Academy mark of the season and fourth for her career April 27 when she won the 100-meter dash in 12.84 seconds, topping Shae Clark’s 2013 record of 13.00.

“I feel so accomplished to have four records,” Lauren said. “It feels amazing.”

Lauren set the school mark earlier in the season in the long jump. She had the best throw in the shot put in school history a year ago, and was a member of the record-setting 4x100 relay team from 2013.

In the April 27 meet at Northfield Mount Hermon, which also included Williston Northampton School, Lauren faced stiff competition from the starting gun to the finish line, convincingly crossing first by .30.

“At that race, I had tough competition to push me,” Lauren explained. “I had three other girls who were right with me and that pushed me to go faster and faster and pushed me to get the record.”

Lauren ran a hand-held time of 12.6, which calculates to a 12.84. Her previous best hand-held time was a 13.09, meaning she ran nearly a half-second faster in her record-setting performance.

Craig Green ’16 wins New England javelin title

Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Craig Green ’16 finished with a New England title, but it sure wasn’t the New England title he was expecting.

Long proven to be one of the fastest sprinters in the region, Craig won the javelin at the New England Prep School Track Association Division III Championship Meet May 21 at the Hyde School in Woodstock, Conn.

Craig battled an upper-leg injury for the final few weeks of the season. He did everything he could to be healthy enough to run at a high level at the New England meet, which he had been

focused on since arriving at the Academy as a postgraduate. After running the 4x100 relay, though, the leg was still too sore to compete. Luckily, Craig had entered the javelin.

“As soon as I ran the relay and felt it, I knew I couldn’t continue, so I’m glad I threw the javelin,” he said.

On his final attempt, everything came together. As soon as the javelin left his hand, he knew it was his best throw ever.

“That was the second time I’ve thrown the javelin this year, and I’ve never thrown farther than 130 feet,” said Craig, a former high school quarterback. “The fact I threw 163 feet surprised me a lot and everyone else.”


Titans win Class B Softball title

Wilbraham & Monson Academy Softball Coach Erik Kindblom, in a sense, played cards all season.

And in the biggest game of 2016, against the top-ranked team in the region, Coach Kindblom finally played his ace — and his ace proved to be the trump card.

Pitcher Ashley Michanczyk ’16 pitched a five-hitter and allowed just one earned run as the Titans topped The Ethel Walker School 5-2 in

the Western New England Prep School Softball Association Class B final May 22 in Simsbury, Conn.

Ashley didn’t pitch against Ethel Walker in a 16-9 regular season loss, nor did she pitch in the league all-star game against any of the Walker batters. Ashley kept Ethel Walker’s potent lineup from finding any kind of groove, holding the tournament’s No. 1 seed to its lowest run total of the season.

Wenjun “Happy” Chang ’18 swims to individual and relay records

After the New England Prep School Athletic Council Division III Swimming Championships at the Canterbury School March 5, Wenjun

“Happy” Chang ’18 had plenty of reasons to be … well, happy.

Happy set a school record in an individual and relay race, and finished on the podium in all four of his events.

“I feel happy. And I can work harder to improve,” he said.

Happy established a WMA record in the 100 butterfly, touching in 55.12 seconds in the final. Entering the meet, his previous best was a 59.65. He knocked more than two seconds off his best

time in his trial before taking another 1.5 seconds in the final to top the previous school record by .01.

“I wanted to get a medal and believed I could break the record, and I did,” said Happy, who placed second overall. “Before the final I just tried to tell myself I could break the record to pump myself up.”

Happy swam the second leg of the record- setting 200 medley relay, with the team of Cole Hansen ’17, Tom Quinn ’16 and Jack Wilson ’19 finishing in third with a time of 1:45.45. He also placed second in the 100 breaststroke and the 200 freestyle relay.

Wenyen Gabriel ’16, Carly Venditti ’16 named McScholar Athletes

Athletically and academically, Wenyen Gabriel ’16 and Carly Venditti ’16 have been special to Wilbraham & Monson Academy.

On May 4, surrounded by the top student-athletes in Western Massachusetts, Wenyen and Carly were treated to a special event when they were honored at the 20th annual McDonald’s McScholar Athletes Awards Ceremony at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield.

Wenyen starred on the basketball court for two seasons as a Titan, and also had impressive one-year stints on the Water Polo and Boys’ Volleyball teams. He is playing basketball on a full athletic scholarship at a Division I giant, the University of Kentucky.

Meanwhile, Carly excelled at WMA Girls’ Volleyball and Softball since she arrived at the Academy four years ago, helping the Titans to the New England Class B Softball title her senior year. She is playing softball at Wheaton College, where she has received an academic scholarship.

Wenyen Gabriel ’16 named to Jordan Brand Classic team

Months after his senior season concluded, the good news kept coming for Wilbraham & Monson Academy’s Wenyen Gabriel ’16, who was just one of 21 basketball players in the country to be named to the roster for the Jordan Brand Classic.

Wenyen played in the 15th annual all-star game on a big basketball stage — at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn April 15. He was the only player from New England selected.

Wenyen, who was notified he made the team in early March, played with three future teammates at the University of Kentucky. A Jordan representative presented him with a banner at the Academy March 31.

Wenyen played in the Jordan game six days after he competed at the Nike Hoop Summit in Oregon as a member of the USA Basketball Junior National Select Team.

dedicaTed To our coMMiTMenT to fostering innovation, technology and design thinking methodologies, Wilbraham & Monson Academy announced some exciting new courses for the 2016–2017 school year.

The newly-named Computer Science & Technology Department redesigned its curriculum, and is launching three new introductory Computer Science electives:

• Exploring Web Design and Scratch Programming

• Exploring and Using Big Data• Exploring Robotics with Snap!

So far, we have robust student enrollment for these new courses, which will be taught by Director of Information Technology Marxan Pescetta. Science Department Chair Kathy Gorski said, “adapting the year-long Essentials of Computing Science Program to fit our trimester format will allow more students to discover the breadth of topics that comprise computer science and hopefully pique their interest to continue and deepen their study of CS that will be essential knowledge in all future career paths.”

The new spring semester Honors Computer Science and year-long AP Computer Science A courses are offered online, through Virtual High School. WMA offers students two new courses that engage them in coding and programming practices. However, students can take Mobile Computer Science Principals, our new mid-level course that aligns with the new STEM-focused Advanced Placement curriculum.

As stated in the WMA Curriculum Guide, “A major aim of this course is to attract students who might not think of themselves as ‘typical’ candidates for computer science and allow them to explore project-based lessons that emphasize writing, communication, collaboration and creativity.”

Mobile CSP is a project-based course that covers the “7 Big Ideas and 6 Computational Thinking Practices of Computer Science.” Students will complete two collaborative programming projects and an individual research and writing project on the impact of a recent, computing innovation that appeals to the student. Students will also learn computer science by building socially useful mobile apps. In this way, student learning will be associated closely with their interests and grounded in their schools, homes and communities.

Mobile CSP teacher Steve Gray ’70W said, “It is an amazing course! It has something for anyone who is interested in the computing field. From theory to coding, it will keep students captivated with its well thought-out and implemented curriculum.”

Additional New Courses Introduced

The Art Department’s Wendy Decker is excited to share with Wilbraham & Monson Academy students her new course on architectural design. In this 10-week elective, students research architectural elements, brainstorm and sketch their own ideas, and create projects such as elevation drawings, blueprint drawings, 3-D perspective drawings, mixed media paintings, 3-D models, digital renderings and 3-D printed models.

The Science Department has added an intermediate- level physics experience. Physics for Engineering and Design was created for students who are interested in learning physics, but might not be ready for a more theoretical or calculus-based study. Students will study basic mechanics, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, electricity and ancillary topics. This will lead to student- centered investigations to demonstrate mastery of physics, engineering and design concepts.

Another exciting addition to the course lineup is

the second year of our AP Capstone program. With the adoption of AP Research, students further the skills acquired in the AP Seminar course by understanding research methodology; employing ethical research practices; and accessing, analyzing and synthesizing information as they address their own finely-honed research question. The course culminates in a 20-page academic paper accompanied by a 20-minute presentation with an oral defense.

And because clear, concise writing is always cited as one of the needed skills for students in the 21st Century, we have created a mandatory sophomore writing experience.

Writing Foundations aims to help develop grammatical and mechanical skills and techniques that will allow students to produce strong, articulate and academically sound writing. The trimester course meets three times a week.

“This is an opportunity for students to focus solely on the skills and processes required for strong, articulate and academically-sound writing without any of the additional requirements of a traditional English course,” said Lizzy Mitchell-Kelly, who developed the new curriculum in collaboration with English Department Chair Tim Harrington ’73. “This specific focus will allow students the space and time to delve deeply into concepts and ideas.”

Offered in addition to English 10, this class will rely mostly on in-class lessons, exercises and writing assignments in an effort to bolster students’ grammatical and mechanical proficiency without the after-school time commitment of a full-time course.

We hope these new courses add to the robust and rich student academic experience WMA takes great pride in offering to all students.

When he was applying for the Director of Advancement position at Wilbraham & Monson Academy in the spring, Mark Aimone was scheduled to interview with Head of School Brian Easler for an hour.

That interview turned into a pleasant three-hour talk, with both men becoming more relaxed and open as the conversation continued. And when that conversation was over, Mr. Easler and Mr. Aimone knew that conversation wouldn’t be their last.

After visiting the campus again — the next time with his wife, Megan ’85 — Mr. Aimone was hired in June as the Director of Advancement.

“While I was speaking with Mark, it became quickly apparent that he was not only steeped in boarding school his entire life, but his style and approach was one that was going to work well for us,” Mr. Easler said. “He has exactly the skills we need to help us … to be that last key component

of the team to move us in the direction we’re going.”

Aimone felt the same way.“We totally hit it off,” Mr. Aimone added.

“And each time I had a conversation with Brian and each time I dug a little deeper, I just saw an incredible opportunity here. His vision for the place and the things you need from an alumni engagement standpoint are achievable and exciting. There’s a lot of energy here, and I felt that from kids, faculty, administrative teams, parents, Board members … I felt that energy from everybody and that was exciting.”

Mr. Aimone did exciting things at his alma mater, Tabor Academy, including increasing the Annual Fund by 75 percent in five years as Director of Advancement. His fundraising record is impressive, relying on his one-on-one skills to build relationships.

“For me, fundraising isn’t transactional,

it’s relational,” Mr. Aimone said. “When you build relationships with people, it’s more rewarding for them and ultimately for the institution. People support what they’re engaged with; if you’re not connected with something, you really don’t have any interest in supporting it. So the strategy isn’t how do we go out and just raise a bunch of money, it’s how do we go out and get those people that aren’t connected to our school and get them more connected. In turn, that leads to greater money. That’s an oversimplification of it, but the relationship to me is the most important thing in the business we do.”

Mr. Aimone knows a little about WMA’s history, with his wife and brother-in-law Todd Stuart ’86 as graduates of the Academy. While he

had some knowledge of the school, he knows it’s a small sample, which is why he’s spending the majority of his first year soaking in as much as he can from people on and off campus.

“The three things I say are listen, learn and engage,” Mr. Aimone said. “Listen a lot to learn the history and culture of this place. I’m coming from a place where I spent six years working and I am also an alumnus so I had this wealth of knowledge of what life was like at Tabor Academy.

“Here at WMA, my wife and brother-in-law have that knowledge base and at this point I only have my one memory of the school. I have to learn the stories and culture. My No. 1 priority is to listen, learn and engage over the next year, although it’s a never-ending process. We have an interesting history with Monson Academy, Wilbraham Academy and Wesleyan Academy. You’ve got this interesting past that needs to come together into this moment and into this school to help drive us forward.”

The one memory Mr. Aimone has of the Academy is a good one — so typical for anyone who played high school sports. When he was a junior at Tabor, he competed in a 16-team, two-day lacrosse tournament at the Academy. The visiting players did homestays, and Mr. Aimone stayed with WMA’s Andrew Bazarian ’86. Andrew’s mom, Mrs. Ginny Knapp, is on the Academy’s Board of Trustees.

“I remember about 40 lacrosse players going to the Friendly’s in Wilbraham,” Mr. Aimone recalled. “All of us were from different schools and different places but it was like we had been friends forever. It was so much fun and is one of those moments from high school that you will always remember.”

Now, Mr. Aimone is in position to create many more memories of Wilbraham & Monson Academy.

To contact Mr. Aimone, email [email protected] or call 413.596.9134.

WMa spoTlighT: ForMer FaculTy

With a wise understanding of teenage boys’ mischievous behavior, Mr. Arthur Kelley happily worked at Wilbraham Academy for 15 school years, from 1955 until the merger with Monson Academy in 1971.

Mr. Kelley loved teaching English to his boys. After school, he was the advisor for Dramatics and the Rubicon, and he even started the ski program.

A graduate of Middlebury College, the University of Michigan and Yale University, Mr. Kelley is also a veteran of World War II. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Air Force in 1945 soon after the war ended.

Blessed with intelligence, dignity and patience, few things rattled the always-reliable Mr. Kelley — except one topic. When a student at the Academy would boastfully speak on the glamour of war, Mr. Kelley would be quick to verbally challenge the boy, assuring him there was nothing glamorous about war. War was necessary, but it was costly and it was deadly.

What Mr. Kelley didn’t do, though, was speak about his personal war experiences. He never told boys he was scared just flying to Europe to

join his bombardier group; he never talked about seeing flak explode just feet from his face while serving as a navigator on bombing raids over Germany; and he never told the story how both engines on one side of his bomber were once shot out, crippling the plane.

“I never talked about my war experiences,” said Mr. Kelley during an interview in late July.

Nope, he never told his boys those stories …

until this summer, when four members of the Wilbraham Class of 1964 — Wilber James, Dick Fuld, Tim Huston and Andrew Petkun — paid the 93-year-old Mr. Kelley a visit at his humble home in Connecticut. The group was shocked to learn of Mr. Kelley’s war experiences. With some prodding and an iPad, Mr. Kelley started to open up and share some stories.

In March 1945, with the Allies closing in on victory in the European Theater, Mr. Kelley and his crew left the U.S. for southern Italy to join the 460th Bombardier Group in the 15th Air Force.

“The first mission that was scary to me was flying the Atlantic,” said Mr. Kelley, who trained at various camps throughout the U.S. after leaving Middlebury and volunteering for the Air Force in 1943. “We flew as individual planes. We took off closely after one another but we all lost each other. If we went into the drink, that was it, so that was frightening to me.”

In two months, Mr. Kelley flew more than 20 missions over Europe. His crew only flew five or so missions. But since Mr. Kelley was a navigator, and a capable one at that, he was forced to join other crews on different bombing runs.

“They knew I was just a newcomer and they were wondering whether I would get the bomber back or not,” he said.

Mr. Kelley’s training and will to survive never failed, getting the bomber to its target and home every mission. His bombers occasionally faced little resistance, but other times the flight was harrowing.

“There were a few times when the enemy was accurate in their configurations,” Mr. Kelley explained. “They were shooting at us (with anti-aircraft guns). I could look out the window and see the explosions, which were close. They had a good bead on us. I remember flying through the flak, which made a noise on the fuselage. You knew you were close to the explosion when that happened. But we were never knocked out. We did lose altitude a few times because we’d lose an engine. We lost two engines on one wing one time, which was dangerous because it was

pulling the plane down. When you can see the whitecaps on the Atlantic Ocean, that’s not good.”

When the war in Europe ended in May 1945, Mr. Kelley returned home to Connecticut. He went back to Middlebury, then Michigan, and earned a graduate degree from Yale. At the strong suggestion of his mother, he got into teaching, where fellow Yale grad and Wilbraham Academy Headmaster Gray Mattern scooped him up.

“Gray was very understanding,” he said. “He was excellent. He was suited for the job and the kids appreciated him. I was one of his first employees. During Gray Mattern’s tenure, Wilbraham was growing. We were sending students to good schools.”

Many of those college-bound boys had Mr. Kelley as an English teacher, where he was a favorite of the students … except when someone believed war as being truly depicted by movies rather than reality.

“It was surprising to me that late in time, kids weren’t understanding what war was about. They were glamorizing it as much as they could. It made me angry at the time. If it was in class, it would set me off on a tirade right away,” he admitted.

But the tirades were rare, as the boys respected Mr. Kelley’s teaching ability and understanding.

“I got hooked on teaching when I got to Wilbraham,” he said. “The things that helped me decide that I enjoyed working there was the risk and mischievous going on all the time. There was an energy of youth.

“I get teary about it now because it was a good life; a nice life. I tear up easily about the past. The students and I understood each other.”

And thanks to a visit by four members of the Wilbraham Academy Class of 1964, now everyone connected to WMA has a better understanding of Mr. Kelley.

Michael Galitello ’56M wasn’t a typical high school student when he attended Monson Academy.

Yes, he was committed to his studies and had a number of friends. But Michael was older than his Monson classmates. Much older.

Michael was scheduled to graduate from public school in 1949. However, he found the classes boring and dropped out of school as a junior. He joined the U.S. Army in 1950, and in January of 1952 he was a soldier in the Korean War. He fought in the historic battles of Old Baldy and White Horse, earning numerous medals that included the Combat Infantry Badge for excellent performance of duty under enemy fire and a Bronze Star for Heroism, capturing two prisoners while on patrol in a blizzard.

A few months prior to his discharge, Michael was selected to participate in a military test. Neither he nor his comrades knew where they were headed or what they would be doing. In Nevada, Michael was one of 3,000 soldiers who witnessed a nuclear test in May of 1953. When an atomic bomb was dropped from a plane, Michael was in a foxhole.

“We wondered what was going on,” Michael recalled. “With our eyes closed, we were still able to see a bright, bright flash. Then they told us to stand up and take a look. I thought the world was coming to an end.”

Less than 10,000 yards away, Michael saw the bomb’s mushroom cloud roll toward the sky. Then, without warning, he felt the atomic blast.

“The dust cloud and force hit me right in the face and I developed basal cell (carcinoma) cancer, and that’s what I got out of that,” he said. “The radioactive dust hit me in the face.

“We were told to leave our trenches and head toward ground zero. The smoke had cleared. There was this black area. I don’t know how big it was but they wanted us to go to ground zero and observe and report what we saw. We observed dead sheep, destroyed trucks, totally destroyed bridges and houses. We began to question why we were down there.”

Michael, currently one of the few

organization recognized his writing talent and encouraged him to write about something other than the war.

“They told me to concentrate on other subjects,” he said.

But what? Michael was watching TV one day when he saw a beautiful woman leaning against the railing of a boat while on a cruise. She was alone. The image sparked an idea. He began writing “Katerina’s Tears,” a romance novel. Still, Michael needed more inspiration. Yes, the writing was therapeutic, but he needed something to keep pushing him forward. He found that motivation in the book’s dedication.

“Those guys who died in war, regardless of which war it was, they really never had a chance to come home and meet the love of their lives, which in my book is Katerina. Had they lived, maybe they would have met their Katerina, and Katerina would have met them.

“I dedicated the book to the guys I fought with who never made it home, and to the guys who were involved in the atomic bomb testing who died of various diseases.”

“Katerina’s Tears” was published in 2014. Michael donated, and will continue to donate, 100 percent of the proceeds to his local VA. He found so much pleasure and satisfaction in writing his first novel that he rolled right into another. His second, “The Ornament,” is a fictional story published in 2015 about two 12-year-old girls whose mothers die at Christmastime.

Michael, now 80, is working on four more books, including “Faye and the Crow” and “The Other Side of Time,” and he hopes to get one of his first two books onto the silver screen as a movie.

Listening to radio shows such as “Gang Busters” and “The Lone Ranger” as a child in the 1940s helped Michael develop his imagination. Monson Academy gave Michael a chance to put his creative spirit to paper — a spirit he still relies on today.

“Monson refined my imagination and mind,” he said. “Monson shaped and formed my life, and made me a better person. Without Monson, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”

remaining survivors of the atomic bomb testing, was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army during the summer of 1952. Along with the basal cell cancer, he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder, which included horrible dreams. He wasn’t sure what to do going forward, but he knew he needed some time to recuperate.

As a war veteran, Michael was eligible for the G.I. Bill, which, among other things, provided a free high school, vocational or college education. Since he hadn’t graduated high school, Michael decided he would use part of his G.I. Bill to attend a private high school. He enrolled at Monson in 1954 and graduated in 1956, receiving the school’s Excellence in Spanish Award.

“If I hadn’t gone to Monson, Lord knows where I would have ended up,” said Michael, who was four or five years older than most classmates.

Great men like Mr. George Rogers, Mr. George Morrow and Mr. George Robinson helped him stay on track and molded him into a young man with high character.

“Monson Academy had a beautiful, friendly atmosphere, and it was all about education,” he said. “We had to buckle down and do it, and the teachers were on us at all times, making sure we learned. They gave us extra time, and they would devote some of their free time to us to make sure we got through the course OK. We got nothing but help. They were the best teachers in the world.

“I enjoyed campus life. The food was tremendous. The students were from everywhere, and they were so friendly and kind. They wanted to be your friend, especially me because I was in the army. I was friends with everyone.”

Michael majored in pre-med at Aurora College in Illinois. He was involved in the early stages of rescue breathing, later known as CPR,

performing a demonstration to the media in 1958. Michael, though, dropped out of college after two years due to financial reasons.

He went home to Torrington, Conn., and was hired by the Metropolitan District Water Company in Hartford, which was responsible for supplying clean water to 450,000 people in the Greater Hartford area. He climbed the company ladder, retiring as the night supervisor after a 33-year career.

As Michael got older, his PTSD continued. As a form of therapy, he wrote about his war experiences, as well as his extended family’s experience in World War II. One uncle was killed in Italy and another spent time in Auschwitz before the historic concentration camp was liberated by the Allies. A few staff members at his local Veterans Affairs

Mr. Sean McGrath ’07 has already made a deep imprint on Wilbraham & Monson Academy as a member of the English Department, coach, dorm parent and friend.

Before he departed the Academy during the summer for a new teaching position in California, Mr. McGrath left a lasting impression, with the help of Fine & Performing Arts Department member Wendy Decker.

Mr. McGrath and Ms. Decker released their first book, “Oculus,” on June 15. The hardcover book included 24 poems, written since 2012, by Mr. McGrath and supported by Ms. Decker’s illustrations.

“There’s a lot of poetry out there, much of it for free, so I wanted to create something that was both personal and generous,” said Mr. McGrath, who was hired to be an English teacher at Fairmont Prep Academy in Anaheim, Calif.

“Once Wendy and I began floating around the idea of adding illustrations to the poetry, that’s when we got serious. And then when I realized I was leaving WMA, in late winter, we really put a timeline on this.”

The 60-page book includes themes — both literal and metaphorical — of life, death, rebirth, life cycles and the changing of seasons. Mr. McGrath’s personal works of poetry are profound in both meaning and volume, but it wasn’t until he connected with Ms. Decker that his vision of a poetry book came into full focus.

“I think a lot of times poetry can be inaccessible to the reader,” Mr. McGrath said.

“Wendy’s illustrations provide a window into seeing some of the themes of these poems more clearly. It can help guide the reader to specific images or draw them into a certain place or space. It allows the reader to further imagine that space.”

The biggest challenge for Ms. Decker was working out of her comfort zone, creating pieces from someone else’s ideas and beliefs.

“The most challenging part is for me to turn the words into images,” Ms. Decker explained.

“Usually, I draw from life, but this forces me to think about the imagery differently and piece together the composition in a way that I usually don’t. Most of the illustrations require multiple sketches before we decide on a final design.

“We’re excited to be doing something tangible instead of just giving ideas and having conversation. It’s finally going into something people can read and look back on, and this is one last hurrah before Sean leaves and something we’re doing creatively together.”

With all of the poems written and the illustrations nearly complete, fate was on Sean’s side regarding the title of the book.

“We were in Binney Hall in the teachers’ workspace, which is overlooked by a circular window, or an oculus,” Sean said. “We were

Since they started working on this project, Mr. McGrath and Ms. Decker have been brainstorming possibilities for other types of publications they would like to pursue in the future.

“The book is the first step, and then the greeting cards,” Mr. McGrath explained. “If we were to do a second run, that would be great.

gazing up out of this window brainstorming titles when this one came to us. We think it encompasses not only the circularity of a lot of the works, but connects with the vantage through which we’d like the readers to see this piece as a whole.”

Predominantly by word of mouth, “Oculus” nearly sold out of its hardcover copies in less than a month. The book sold well with family and friends of Mr. McGrath and Ms. Decker, and even made its way into a few stores.

“Our friends and family are proud we were able to put a collection together like this,” Mr. McGrath said. “They were impressed we were able to put something of professional quality together.”

And Mr. McGrath and Ms. Decker plan to keep that professional quality going. They hope to do a second printing of “Oculus” and they’ve already printed greeting cards, which include one of the book’s illustrations and a line from a poem.

“It’s another way to get the book out there,” Ms. Decker said. “If people don’t get the book, at least they can appreciate an illustration or line from the poem and maybe explore that further.”

Mr. McGrath and Ms. Decker have begun to notice ocular/circular symbols around them as well as the recurrent, cyclical archetypes that are present in their book — themes such as life, death, seasons, phases, love, beginnings and ends.

The aBiliTy To Think gloBally is reinforced inside and outside the classroom for students at Wilbraham & Monson Academy. WMA works to offer unique opportunities to its community in order to enrich members with global awareness, creating global leaders with the mindset to consider and improve conditions outside their country of origin.

In March, a group of 15 students — led by chaperones Mr. Andrew Shea ’08 and Mr. Kevin Kane — landed in Lima, Peru, to begin a 12-day journey throughout that region of South America. As the trip progressed, we were exposed to the varying climates of Peru and were challenged by the heat of Lima, the mountainous Cusco and the altitude of Machu Picchu.

To initiate the trip, the group was embraced by the heat and culture of the region as it traveled through the capital city of Lima. Touring the remains of ancient civilizations, students were exposed to the architecture and cultural practices of the Peruvian ancestors: the Incas. From beachfront dinners to captivating sunsets, students explored the city on foot and by bicycle, fully engaging themselves in their environment. Our charismatic tour guide, Clarissa, led the group to a local market, where we tasted exotically-textured native foods and immersed ourselves in the Peruvian culture.

By plane, the students left behind the heat of Lima, landing in the old capital of Cusco, known for its breathtaking mountainous landscape. The change in temperature, landscape and altitude forced us to adapt as we found ourselves short of breath due to the elevation. We visited historical museums, absorbing more Peruvian

culture. Notably, the group partook in a traditional, spiritual ceremony in the

mountains, learning of the religion and customs of the native people. The group met with WMA Trustee Mark R. Shenkman ’61M and his wife Rosalind, discussing the experiences of the trip and coincidental meeting. Ha, small world!

While in Cusco, the group was also physically challenged, as the terrain turned from land to water as we faced whitewater rafting in the region’s quick rapids. In different groups, students engaged in rafting battles, where almost everyone was tossed overboard into the refreshing water. From splashing to group chants and names, the students competed in exciting rafting games while overcoming the level III rapids that were surrounded by Cusco’s stretching mountain range and crisp air. At the end, the wet and tired group was treated to a lunch prepared by the locals.

From there, the students experienced the power and fortitude of the mountains. After an overnight camping in tents near a hot spring in Aguas Calientes, we continued our interaction with the local people. The students biked down the great mountain, passing over small waterfalls that crashed over the course, avoiding llamas and alpacas along the way.

Students then visited a large salt mine, as Peru is one of the largest producers of salt in South America. After dining at a buffet and enjoying performances from local artists, the group prepared for the six-hour hike up the Inca Trail

towards Machu Picchu. The Inca Trail’s path varied from jungle terrain to open walkways that slithered around the edges of the mountain and overlooked the wide river to Incan stairs climbing at demanding inclines. Each student was given a small stone before the climb to carry up the mountain. Students’ physical strength and endurance were tested again, yet the tour guide readily praised us for our surprisingly positive attitudes, constant talking and embracing of the conditions and challenge.

When the group reached the top, Machu Picchu sat off in the distance, covered by a cloudy sky. We were told to place our stone on the ground, as the group huddled around in a small circle and joined hands while the tour guide expressed words of gratitude and prayer. With the stones forming a heart on the ground in the center of the circle, all eyes were closed as the tour guide continued her prayer to the mountain god, Pachamama. When the moment concluded, we opened our eyes to find the clouds had disappeared around Machu Picchu and the ancient civilization had become fully visible. It was an emotional moment for all and one most memorable.

The group toured Machu Picchu, some of us climbing the steeper Wayna Picchu while others captured llama “selfies” or hiked to the

Inca Bridge. When back in town, we practiced our bartering and Spanish skills at local markets, enforcing more cultural understanding.

We returned to Lima for the remaining days. We visited the local mall and colorful fountain park, allowing for reflection and relaxation after our strenuous few days. The trip concluded with tearful farewells toward our beloved tour guide, as the students left with a deeper understanding of Peru’s local customs and traditions. We were all grateful for the experience to travel and explore, having taken full advantage of the sights and opportunities the country offered. We left culturally enriched and more globally aware.

United Kingdom. On our first night in London, we met up with the college roommate of Jeanette Viens ’11, the daughter of Mrs. Barone. She was full of helpful information and positivity, but the students could not help but doze off at the table after the meal.

The next morning we were destined for Paddington Station to board a train to Plymouth, and we left after taking photos with the Padding-ton Bear. James and Cole fell right asleep on the train ride. I complained that it was not the Hogwarts Express and ended up watching the countryside roll by with Olivia. After failing to count the thousands of sheep we passed, we were herded off the train and into the misty seaside town.

It was the first time any of the four students had been in a car on the opposite side of the road. After a few intense minutes of bracing ourselves in case of a car crash, we were delivered to Plymouth College. In no time, we were paired with a student from Plymouth who would help set us up in a boarding house and bring us to our lessons. The classroom setting was more similar to ours than we imagined. Students would begin classes on task and slowly fade to discuss the differences between American and British school.

The real differences between cultures began to show when students from Plymouth College brought the WMA students back to their homes

for a night. Mrs. Barone was upset that the students left her, but with a heavy heart she returned to her residence to pet the cat of the family with whom she was staying. Cole

Carly Venditti ’16 and Cole Hansen ’17 enjoyed the Hubbard Plymouth Exchange Program experience in March. The pair traveled with Olivia DeBaise ’18 and James Halloran ’16.

The Tube ride into the heart of London highlighted the group’s grogginess. More commuters joined us on the brisk railway system and the sun continued to rise over the slate-roofed houses. At each stop, an automated voice in a perky British accent reminded us to “mind the gap between the train and the platform.” The group stuck to underground transportation the first day, since pedestrians do not have the right of way in England. Sometimes even the sidewalks were too much to handle.

As we became hungry at random hours, candy was a must. Cole was frustrated with the difference between Starburst flavors in the


departed on a 40-minute trip, taking a bus, ferry and car to a student’s house in Cornwall. James went out to dinner with another boy and his family, while Olivia and I walked through the various row houses to reach the one in which we would be staying. Each

family showed the American students a proper British time, with traditional dinners, British tea time snacks and plenty of Cadbury chocolates.

After a day with the families, we ventured into downtown to walk the sites, including the spot where the pilgrims of 1620 departed. The brief walking tour had breathtaking history, including preserved Tudor houses and the shell of a church that was bombed during World War II. Olivia and I found the Tudor Estate so beautiful that it inspired us to continuously sing, “The hills are alive, with the sound of music,” even though that song originated in Austria. After developing a connection to Plymouth’s students and families, it was time to join a crowded train back to London.

In London, we visited the popular tourist attractions. Over the course of the weekend, we

walked close to 45 miles. In one day we saw St. Paul’s Cathedral, rode the London Eye, took a river tour on the Thames, searched for modern art modeled after human waste in the Tate Modern Museum and marveled at Big Ben. We all had something we wanted to see as we roamed. I wanted to see Platform 9 3/4 in King’s Cross Station, Cole wanted to see the swimming pool from the 2012 Olympic Games, James saw a boy geared up to play American football and Olivia wanted more scones.

The return to London brought on more museums and good food. We found the British Museum most exciting, as it displayed some of the most profound exhibits. I got extremely nerdy as I hunted down all of the objects I read about in my AP World History summer reading book. Along with the

Hubbard Plymouth Exchange

Leverett Marsden Hubbard Jr., a friend of WMA, founded the Hubbard Plymouth Exchange Program in 2008. The purpose of the fund is to support an exchange with Plymouth College or another boarding school in Great Britain so that WMA students will develop an appreciation for the history and culture of England and to understand through first-hand experience the connectedness of the “colony” with “the motherland.” Four students in good standing, who have never traveled outside of the United States, are selected each year based on an essay application outlining their desire to travel.

Our final day in England was by far our favorite, as Mrs. Barone led us to an open-air market with internationally inspired foods and shopping. Before we knew it, it was time to pack up our things and leave the Queen’s City for the flight back to WMA, knowing our new British friends from Plymouth were coming to see us in a matter of weeks to reunite at the Academy.


whose mother is a white Namibian), followed by a black Namibian, two American researchers and finally a group of five women of the native Himba tribe.

Only a few minutes prior to arriving at the grocery store, DeWet had told us that Namibia is the second most unpopulated country in the world. With this being true, the Namibian people appeared to be shockingly diverse — not just in its wildlife.

When traveling between campsites, there were often hours when we would not see another vehicle or person. Yet whenever we would arrive in a small town or city to refuel and buy water and food, it was typical to see a mix of indigenous people, native Namibians and white foreigners

I first recognized this when shopping in a grocery store in a small Namibian town en route to Etosha National Park. Just as the locals were staring at the other students and me, I quickly began staring at them. I stared at one group in particular — a line of customers who were checking out with the cashier.

who were there to study the wildlife. Ignorantly, I expected to see very few white people, nevermind westerners, in Namibia. Therefore, I was amazed at the diversity of people that I observed in each town and at Gobabeb and the Cheetah Conservation Fund, the two research facilities we visited. Moreover, I gradually began to realize that the majority of people with whom we came in contact spoke English.

As a former Global Scholar and proud alumna of the Global School®, I was incredibly confident that I did not view the world and its people through stereotypical lenses. However, while in Namibia, I quickly realized that I still have much to learn about cultures I have yet to experience, and even those that I have already experienced. I traveled to Namibia expecting nothing specific, as I was aware that I did not know much about the country. However, in expecting nothing in particular, I realized that I expected something very particular — the stereotypical, indigenous,

“savage” Africa that somehow still exists in the minds of many people.

Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has often spoken about “the danger of a single story” and how we often accept the first story we are told about a particular person, place or culture as being the ultimate truth and reality. Only when we are exposed to a different, second story can we can begin to change our perception of people. My experience on the Academy’s trip to Namibia is my second story of this small piece of Africa.

Who Are Our Neighbors? Spanish 6 Class Studies Local Latino Community

by KeVin Kane, MorayMa linareZ ’16, colin o’brien ’16 and MattHeW scHMidt ’16ouTside The classrooM

Mr. kevin kane’s posT-ap spanish 6 class began a study of the Latino community in the Springfield area during the third trimester of the 2015–2016 academic year.

We wanted to understand the area we live in on a broader scale and hoped to get a better sense of the size, complexity, economic impact and needs of the Latino community. Simply, who are our neighbors? The students chose individual areas of interest to investigate. We were able to arrange an interview with Mr. Alex Morse, the Mayor of Holyoke, a neighboring city with a significant Latino population.

Morayma Linarez ’16 spent the last trimester researching governmental programs for a diverse population in and around Springfield. She initiated contact with City Hall in Holyoke, which eventually led to the meeting with the mayor. Morayma was very excited to learn how a city in Western Massachusetts with a large Latino population worked. We learned that ethnic diversity and economic factors play an important role. Mayor Morse mentioned that Holyoke has a high poverty rate and this means an increase in governmental programs offered. He emphasized the governmental programs are not offered exclusively to one group or another but rather to everyone who would benefit from them.

Colin O’Brien ’16 went into the meeting with Mayor Morse with the hopes of gaining an understanding of the primary and secondary education system of Holyoke. What he found was very surprising. One of the more shocking changes the Holyoke schools have seen in recent years is the termination of the desegregation program of busing students to schools outside their neighborhood. Since the end of this policy — which was in place when Mayor Morse attended public schools in Holyoke — schools such as William G. Morgan School have reached a 92 percent Hispanic student body population. Overall, Latino students comprise a majority of students in Holyoke, with more than 70 percent of students coming from an Hispanic background. Furthermore, all but one of Holyoke’s primary schools have been ranked with the state’s lowest performance rating and were taken over by the state during the summer of 2015. However, the mayor has high expectations for the progress of the schools in the community.

For the spring trimester, Matthew Schmidt ’16 focused on the socio-economic status of Latinos in Western Massachusetts. During the last 20 years, the Latino population in the region has rapidly increased. Ethnic minorities, such as Puerto Ricans, are now expanding their presence and bringing a new wave of skill and knowledge to Holyoke and Springfield. In an interview with Mayor Morse, he explained the importance of entrepreneurship in the Latino community. The mayor is continuing to harness this entrepreneurial spirit through the Stimulating Potential, Accessing Resource Knowledge program. The goal of SPARK is to reinvigorate the local economy. The program offers classes, resources and mentoring programs to create a foundation for new businesses to succeed. The program was a success — more than 1,000 businesses and 2,000 jobs were created.

Through this brief investigation of the Latino population around Springfield, we have learned that it is a much more diverse and interesting community. We have learned a lot, but there is still a lot that we are not aware of. We hope this project is just a beginning and will continue in the coming years and become more integrated throughout WMA’s Spanish curriculum at a variety of levels.

influence on what most of us later understood.”Mr. Rothery helped guide the school through

three head of school searches and through some of its most critical times, such as when the Academy was facing decreasing enrollments and experiencing financial challenges. The Rotherys were instrumental in introducing the Academy to S. Prestley and Helen Blake. Between Mr. Rothery’s involvement in finding and supporting the leaders of the school during his tenure and gaining the financial backing and support of the Blakes, he was very instrumental in turning the school into its current state as a successful institution.

The Rotherys are survived by their three daughters: Sue Ellen, Kyle ’72 and Dee Dee ’76.

Excerpt from a speech given by former Head of School Rodney LaBrecque in 2012 prior to Fred Rothery receiving the school’s Bell and Atlas Award, given to a non-alumnus who helped lift the Academy to a higher level through volunteerism and service:

“Personally, my wife and I have been graced to have such good friends and mentors as Fred and Delight. Within a month of our arrival at Wilbraham & Monson, both of them welcomed us to join them for dinner and learn more about the school. Fred was a wealth of knowledge about past trustees and loyal donors. He gave me insight into the role the Academy had played in Wilbraham and the larger community. He made sure I met many of the right people in Springfield who could be quite helpful to a new Head of School. I owe much of my success at the Academy to his friendship, counsel and support.

“The Academy, too, owes much the same debt of gratitude to this man who gave so selflessly of his time, talent and treasure to insure that students, much as has his daughters, are able to benefit from an independent school education.”

Fred “Bud” roThery, who thoughtfully and generously served on the Wilbraham & Monson Academy Board of Trustees for 23 years, died on June 26, 2016. He was 93.

Mr. Rothery’s wife, Delight, also supported the Academy in so many ways. The couple hosted Academy visitors at their lovely home on the mountain and organized events that brought the Academy community together with other local organizations. Delight, 90, passed away July 10, 2015. Mr. Rothery passed away on what would have been the couple’s 68th wedding anniversary.

“Fred and Delight were very close,” said Peter Lincoln ’55W, who served on the Board with Mr. Rothery. “She was a wonderful, outgoing woman. Both of them together were, in a way, wonderful emissaries for the Academy in the community, which was very important to the school.”

Rotherys Leave Behind Longlasting Footprint at WMA

by bill Wells Director of Student Promotionin MeMoriaM

During a time when the Academy was trying to rebuild its reputation, the Rotherys were respected in town and served as great ambassadors for the school.

“They said nothing but positive things about other people, so they were held in high regard in the town of Wilbraham,” former Head of School Mr. Dick Malley said. “Neither of them was shy about letting people know they not only cared tremendously about the school, but also respected it. They were so strongly connected to the school, that helped people in the community take the school more seriously.”

One of three daughters, Kyle ’72 saw this firsthand.

“Dad committed himself passionately to things he cared deeply about, and that is what he did with

the Academy,” said Kyle. “His many years of working for the school bear testimony to that. It was a special place for him and my mother, not only because me and my sister, Dee Dee ’76, attended the Academy, but my dad’s grandfather emigrated from England to attend Wesleyan Academy — the precursor to the Academy.”

Mr. Rothery served on the Board from 1972–1995 with a contemplative presence, including while he was the chair from 1975–1977. He was also a World War II veteran who fought in North Africa and Europe.

“He was a kind person — very reflective,” said Bill Faulkner ’57W, whose time on the Board overlapped Mr. Rothery’s. “He was always attentive in the meetings. He would seldom speak up, and if he did it would be toward the end of the discussion. But he spoke in small groups during breaks of meetings, which probably had more

Richard Taylor is proud to tell us that his Blue Mountain Peak Ranch was named as a 2016 Leopold Conservation Award winner. His dedication to habitat and wildlife conservation earned him $10,000 and the state’s highest honor for private land conservation. Richard

and his partner, Suzie Paris, have made improvements to rainwater catchment and infiltration through increased ground cover, reducing soil runoff and erosion. This has led to improvements in wildlife habitat for black-capped vireos, Texas horned lizards and spot-tailed earless lizards. They spent several years working to clear the Ashe juniper that dominated much of the landscape and allowing the native herbaceous plants to recover. The ranch has also served as a study site for multiple graduate-level projects by Texas Tech on the effects of prescribed burning, and for species such as the Texas horned lizard. Beyond the ranch, Richard co-founded The Conservation Agency, a scientific nonprofit dedicated to the conservation of natural biodiversity.

“With her creativity, passion and intelligence, Stephanie is an astute, motivated young woman who always aspired to take her scholarship to the next

Mansfield is the largest of only three areas in Vermont where fragile, rare Arctic-Alpine vegetation can be found. So the best part of my job is to inform people about the fragile nature of this vegetation that can only be found outside of the Arctic Circle on these mountain summits and how to keep them from disappearing.”

Boston College’s Matt Naumec was named to the 2016 Division I All-New England Team, and was also named the Rookie of the Year. Matt led BC in

five different categories last season. He was tops on the team in scoring (74.35), one-putts (30 percent), par 3 scoring (3.15), par 4 scoring (4.24) and birdies (75). His best round was a final-round 65 (7 under par) at The Connecticut Cup, which provided his best finish (tie for 11th) in a tournament.

52 Carolyn Cross spent her spring break helping to build homes in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. She traveled with the Habitat for Humanity club from Connecticut College. “The job that I picked for the week and really enjoyed was putting shingles on two roofs. The future homeowners were able to assist us one of the days, so it was great to get a chance to talk to them.”

Frostburg State University men’s lacrosse player Jake Howarth was named to the Capital Athletic Conference All-Academic Team.

53 Rachella Ferst had a blast traveling with family this summer before heading back to Mount Holyoke College for her sophomore year. Her itinerary included: Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary and Israel.

Sara Burke has been accepted into the Pacific Rim program at the University of Puget Sound. Through this program, she will be traveling throughout Asia for nine months in 2017–18. Sara explained that this program runs every three years (Year One, selection;

Year Two, preparation; and Year Three, travel). “I will be traveling to about 11 different Asian countries. I’ll be spending about a month each in China, Japan and India, and making trips to other countries as well. I will be taking a full year of classes taught by my university or a local professor, and the class will be relevant to the country we are in.”

54 Members of the Class of 2015 were able to enjoy some time together on Cape Cod this summer before heading back to college for their sophomore year! Left to right are: Drew Mele, Austin Fabbo, Aparna Sivakumar, Andres Feng, Emily Moran, Meg Harrington, Andrew Dasco and Sara Burke.

level,” said Ms. Meg Hutcheson, Stephanie’s advisor at WMA. “At WMA, Stephanie was always asking tough questions, researching fascinating topics and fostering her global thinking.

“For her Global Scholar Capstone project in 2012, Stephanie wrote: ‘On my travels to Russia this summer, I was acutely aware of the language differences. I’ve studied Latin, Spanish, and, more recently, Chinese, but Russian is in its own category. I hope to investigate further these issues of language and how its linguistic power can affect the success or decline of a culture.’ ”

Through various trips, Stephanie had already spent about eight months in Russia. For the Fulbright fellowship, she started in September another 10 months in the world’s largest country.

“I took the Russian language four years in college, I’ve studied abroad in St. Petersburg, and I worked for a summer at a Russian Academy of Sciences

Annual Report2015–2016 Wilbraham & Monson Academy


On behalf of the entire community, I am pleased to express our gratitude and appreciation for the generous support you have provided over this past year. Although my history with Wilbraham & Monson Academy is brief, I am deeply honored to have joined such a vibrant community and am struck by the generosity that is conveyed on the following pages.

As I sit in my office in Morrow House and look out the window at the renovation of the roof at Rich Hall, I cannot help but think about the impact your generosity and support has made — and is making — on WMA! This is a place that holds so much meaning for so many in our history and it’s exciting to see this signature space being restored to its former glory.

Highlights from the 2015–2016 year include:• Members of the Class of 2016 had 100%

participation to the Annual Fund for the first time in recent history

• 272 New Donors were added to the roster this year

• Reunion classes raised close to $145,000 for the Annual Fund

• 228 donors have been contributing to WMA for five or more years

In many ways, the roof project and coming renovation of the portico are simply a harbinger of what’s to come. With your support and commitment behind us, we are just getting started!

I look forward to meeting you during my travels and encourage you to return to campus so that you may share in the excitement that is WMA today.

Thank you for making a difference in the life of our school and the lives of our students!

Mark aiMone director of advancement

Thank you for your support!

Rich Hall Throughout HistoryFrom the early 1840s to the 1850s, students at the Academy lived with families in Wilbraham, without a dormitory on campus. The first boarding house was built in 1852, before it burned down five years later. The school rallied and built a bigger, more comfortable house. It was razed the same year, this time likely due to arson. Although this was never proved, it seemed probable given the tumultuous times. The country was in a state of racial unrest, with a presidential election full of contention and the Academy had a strong abolitionist reputation. This was the beginning of the period of secession. Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as president in March 1861, one month before the Civil War began.

Rich Hall opened that fall. It had been decided to build a structure of great dimensions, one out of brick and brownstone from

a local quarry and with a slate roof. It was state of the art for its time. No other boarding school had such a building. The cost of the building was $60,000 upon completion, a considerable expense at a time when tuition was $2.25 a week. Fathers of Rich HallAmong the many important individuals in the history of the Academy, two great men — Reverend Minor Raymond and the Hall’s namesake, Isaac Rich — made possible the construction of Rich Hall. It has remained the focal point of the Academy.

Minor Raymond, Headmaster 1848–1864Minor Raymond was a young laborer and mender of shoes, seemingly without a passion for education. It wasn’t until a revival period of 1828 at the Academy that he became inspired to enroll. He later developed the aspirations

and purpose that would inspire him for the rest of his life. Raymond began as a student and later became a beloved teacher. He went on to become a reverend with the Methodist church where he met and was influenced by Dr. Wilbur Fisk, the Academy’s first headmaster. He became widely respected and well connected within the church and the business community.

In need of a headmaster, the Board summoned Rev. Minor back to the Academy in 1848. It was under his tutelage that the rebuilding and rebirth from the disastrous fires of the Academy’s boarding houses took place. Rev. Minor was a skilled fundraiser. It was through his loyal connections and strong support from the board that he was able to secure the funds to rebuild after the unthinkable loss and debt.

He was considered a wise builder with a great vision and passion for the Academy, which led to the successful building of Rich Hall.

them door-to-door with a wheelbarrow, sending his proceeds home to his mother. Isaac quickly became successful through hard work. It was through this experience that he became a master of economy and industry, without a formal education and as a self-made man.

It was in Boston, through the church, that Rich also met Dr. Fisk. Rich grew up without educational advantages, which helped create his deep interest in education through the influence of Dr. Fisk. These experiences and relationships drove him to become successful and philanthropic, allowing a boy with only a sixpence in his pocket to become a millionaire in a large city.

Rich first donated to the Academy in 1847 and he was generous in doing so during his lifetime. He found his passion in education. He became a Trustee of the Academy and went on to become a Trustee at Wesleyan University and one of the founders of Boston University.

The construction of Rich Hall became a reality through the strong and steady leadership of Rev. Minor, Rich’s abundant generosity and the generosity of others and the leadership of a fearless Board.

Isaac Rich, Trustee and BenefactorIsaac Rich was born on Cape Cod in 1801 and grew up in a Methodist family. With the loss of his father as a boy, Isaac worked hard and saved enough money to gain passage to Boston in search of work to support his family. He was able to gather oysters from the harbor and sold

The Man Who loved Trees has deep roots at WMA.Al Dodge ’32W, a life-long arborist, planted hundreds of

trees in some of the prettiest places in New England from the towns of Wenham, Topsfield and Hamilton to Deerfield Academy, Dartmouth College and other schools. For many years, Al shared his talents with the Academy, as an advisor to many heads of school on how to beautify our campus with new trees and take care of our current trees.

Al passed away in 2015 at age 100. His three children — Albert Winslow “Win” Dodge ’58W, Susan Hall and Joanne McGee — have created an endowed fund that will support the care and maintenance of the trees on our campus. In May 2016, a beech tree was planted and dedicated in honor of Al in the Class of 1956 Roger Lincoln Contemplative Garden that overlooks Crystal Pond.

Are you passionate about a program or piece of the Academy that you would like to see preserved? Gifts to the WMA Endowment fund can do just that. Contact Christina Cronin, Director of Capital and Planned Giving, at [email protected] or 413.596.9189 for more information on creating a legacy.

Three generaTions oF The huBBard FaMily have played pivotal roles in supporting Wilbraham & Monson Academy. Leverett Marsden Hubbard Sr., Wesleyan Academy Class of 1901, was the first lifetime trustee of the Academy and his father, Judge Leverett Marsden Hubbard, Wesleyan Academy Class of 1868, also served many years as a trustee. Leverett Hubbard Jr. spent his career teaching at independent schools.

In honor of his family’s commitment to the Academy, Lev and his wife, Catee, chose to establish two funds at the Academy: The Leverett Marsden Hubbard Teaching Faculty Sabbatical Travel Fund and the Hubbard Plymouth College Exchange Fund. Through these funds, the Hubbards are able to share their passion for travel and learning with Academy faculty and students.

Development at Morrow House was named in honor of the more than 80 years the Hubbard Family has committed to Wilbraham & Monson Academy. Leverett Hubbard Jr. and Catee were on hand to share the story of how his father and grandfather dedicated their lives to serving the Academy.

As part of their estate plan, Lev and Catee plan to fully endow The Leverett Marsden Hubbard Teaching Faculty Sabbatical Travel Fund and the Hubbard Plymouth College Exchange Fund to ensure that students and faculty will benefit for many years.
