Edward F. whitnEy h ’91 August 9, 1914 – May 6, 2012

Lifetime Trustee, Ned Whitney H ’91, died on May 6, 2012, at the age of 96. Ned had been a

longtime supporter of Dublin School. He was especially tireless as head of our trustee buildings

and grounds committee. Passionate about athletics and the importance it has in a child’s

development, Ned was instrumental in the construction of the Whitney Gymnasium. A resident

of Dublin, New Hampshire for over 60 years, he served as selectman for many years and was

active in the life of the town. A gentle, kind and generous man, he will be forever missed.

This message from Head of School, Brad Bates, was shared with the entire faculty and staff at the opening of the 2012-2013 School Year. It has inspired everyone to consider what they truly believe and we hope it inspires you.

“I started attending the school where my father taught in seventh

grade. Every morning my brother and I would run out of our house

in Concord, Massachusetts stuffing bagels in our mouths, lugging

our giant backpacks, and tripping over our untied Converse all-

stars. We loaded into my father’s Volkswagen mini-bus with rusted

holes staring up at us from the floor and started the hour long car-

pool routine on our way into school in Boston. My father taught

math at an academically and athletically, and I would add, even

socially rigorous all-boys high school. I remember one of the first

days at the school I was walking by one of the twelfth graders when

he said to a friend, “that’s Mr. Bates’s son, I bet he is wicked smart

in math.” Problem was, I was not. I failed the first semester of pre-

Algebra and was moved into arithmetic. This was not an easy thing

for my math teacher, due to the difficult fact that my father was the

chair of the department, but move I did.

A MESSAGE fROM THE HEAD Of SCHOOLThis I Believe by Brad Bates

A year later I ended up in Mr. Wright’s pre-Algebra class. Mr.

Wright was ancient. He was a former headmaster of Groton School.

We did not know what to think of him, but it was clear he took his

job seriously. I would see him still at his desk, grading papers and

planning his lessons, when the Bates bus left campus at 6:00 pm

each night. I spent my time in class doodling and passing notes to

friends. At night I would guess at the answers to the homework

and write them down. One day that fall when I was turning in

my homework, Mr. Wright stared down at me through his dark-

David Howe H ‘95, Brad Bates and Ned Whitney H ‘91


rimmed glasses and asked me if the sheet I

was about to turn in contained my best work.

I was about to smile and say “of course”

when I realized that he was staring straight

into my eyes with all the gravitas, integrity

and concern that I had ever seen contained

in one individual. Instead, I said that it was

not. Without changing his gaze, he told me

that he would like me to take another day

and to come in tomorrow with my name on

something that contained my best work. I

went home and started a routine that would

last the next five years. I worked hard on my

homework and walked up the stairs to my

father’s office and asked him to check it. My

father worked late into the evenings grading

papers and working on his textbooks, but he

always put everything down to help me with

my math homework.

I started to do well in math; it wasn’t

always easy, but I took pride in my work

and eagerly anticipated that moment when

my homework was passed back to me. I

experienced joy when I solved difficult

equations after hours of work and I found

beauty in the patterns I created. I eventually

caught up to my other classmates and even

won the school’s mathematics prize my

senior year, even though I am sure it was

more for moxie than it was for my brilliance

in math.

I believe that joy is earned. It comes from

hard work, from overcoming obstacles,

from developing a new skill, working at

a relationship, solving a problem, and

embracing complexity. I believe in teaching

and learning and individuals like Mr. Wright

and my father who push and support their

students, meet them where they are, share

their passions, and never give up on a

student.

We are teaching young people in a difficult world at a difficult time. Technology

is advancing faster than we can evaluate its effects; the globe is suffering from

overpopulation and overuse of resources; we continue to face discouragingly high levels

of sexism, homophobia, and racism, and the economy is suffering from a series of

seemingly unfixable maladies. The challenges we face as role models and educators are

immense. But, I believe in the community that is Dublin School, and the power we have

to help young people build lives of fulfillment, service, compassion and joy. I believe first

and foremost in our faculty and their commitment to young people and to each other.

At our best, we bring out the strengths in one another, develop the curious minds of

our students, understand that they all bring unique ideas and talents to our community,

and we show them the joy of reading a new book, helping those in need, unlocking the

secrets of the universe, trying a new sport, exploring the out-of-doors, appreciating a

true work of art, and becoming responsible human beings. I believe in Dublin School.”

Speech presented by Brad Bates at the dedication of Gillespie Hall at Dublin School on May 12, 2012.

“Welcome to Gillespie Hall. This is truly a moment to celebrate Dublin School. As I look out at all of you across this beautiful courtyard on this beautiful day, it is fitting that I am also looking directly across at Lehmann House. Charley Gillespie was the very first teacher hired at Dublin School and Mr. G and Mr. Lehmann stood side by side as they built this school together, helped to build up the lives of young men and women together for over thirty-five years.

Eight years ago, the late headmaster Christopher Horgan met with trustee Pat fletcher to discuss the growing arts program at Dublin. Chris wanted to add an addition onto the

current art studio at that time to accommodate more working space and possibly the addition of a gallery to display student work. Pat, however, encouraged Chris to “think big” and to envision an even larger building to celebrate the arts at the School. She pledged to support such a project in an attempt to inspire others to give. Trustee and alumnus Will Spencer ’86, a close friend of Chris’s, quickly joined with Pat in providing financial support for the building and the project gained momentum. Chris’s untimely death, however, put the project on temporary hold.

The Dublin School Board of Trustees, many of whom are here today, when deciding where to place a new arts building, determined it would be best to develop a master plan for the campus to tie the buildings, paths, woods, and roads into a coherent landscape in support of



our mission. They hired Randall Imai from Imai, Keller Moore in Boston to create the master plan. Legend has it that as part of the process Randall spent three hours under a tree watching the students and faculty moving around the quad. He quickly determined that the parking lot in the middle of the quad had to go, but he also noticed that the students were congregating around the steps of Lehmann Hall at various times of the day. Why, you might ask? food!

Randall and his colleague, Gail Woodhouse, figured that by placing the new visual arts building where it stands today, they could create a courtyard that would serve as a meeting place while also having students interact with art on a daily basis. The building is literally a bridge and a connector of the upper campus to the main campus. Over time the program for the building evolved. As a growing school we determined that we needed to build more classroom space and we have added three stunning new classrooms that accommodate up to fifteen students. As a former dean of students, I argued for a student center that would be inviting, comfortable and fun for our students from fifteen different countries and eighteen states to spend quality time together. We named the center after alumnus William Spencer ’86 in honor of his support and vision for this building and also due to his tireless efforts to enhance the student experience on our campus. The Spencer Student Center has already exceeded our already high expectations for its function within the community.

Directly behind me stands the Putnam Gallery. We have always wanted an area dedicated to the display of art, and the Putnam Gallery will serve as space to celebrate the work of our students, alumni and faculty and any outside artists that will help advance the educational mission of our school. We are happy to collaborate with Laura Redmond and Bonnie Bennett, who have volunteered to help operate the gallery, and look forward to putting on three or four shows a year for the public. Alumnus Tom Putnam, his wife Babs, and the extended Putnam family and their wonderful foundation were instrumental in re-energizing our fundraising efforts to help this project become a reality. The Putnam family has supported the arts throughout the Monadnock region and it is fitting to have their name adorn this elegant space in Gillespie Hall.

The Christopher Horgan Art Studio stands as the heart and soul of this building. The arts blossomed at Dublin under Chris’s leadership and I am proud to know Chris’s youngest son, Spenser, who carries on the family’s creative tradition. The Horgan Studio is one of a kind. Designed by Gail and Randall along

with art teacher Earl Schofield and our building committee, the studio has ample space for 2-dimensional drawing and painting, 3-dimensional ceramics and sculpture, and computer animation, photography, and filmmaking. unique to Dublin School, there are individual spaces for advanced art students to develop portfolios for their college applications. The space is designed to inspire creativity, and I think once you see the work of Earl and his students you will understand the importance of the investment we are making in the arts.

When we were building the fountain Arts Building just over a year ago, alumnus David fountain, referring to the design process, said “Brad, God is in the Details.” After working with our architects and our incredible building committee of trustees George foote, Bill Barker, Board Chair Peter Imhoff, Business Manager Jennifer Whitesel, and Building and Grounds Director Andy Hungerford, I can certainly understand David’s mantra. The beauty of this building is in its details. When we look at it now, it appears as if it has always belonged here. I have seen school campuses fractured and balkanized by new buildings, but this building brings the campus and its people together in support of the school’s mission.

former teacher and current trustee Carl Von Mertens was instrumental to this project, donating his time and expertise to help supervise the construction and build each and every table in the building with his son, Todd. I hope you will get a chance to see the different details in each of these tables. A special thank you also to our buildings and grounds staff of Larry Ames, Mark Sirois, Dylan Pierpont, Dawn McClellan, Ed forbes, and Bernadette Weibee-Hietala. I want to pause now and recognize Andy Hungerford P ’00, ’05, ’07 for his leadership on this project.

This week I watched from my office as our staff put the final touches on this courtyard, which we think will forward the efforts of building community on campus. The pump house, which at one point was our visual arts building, will be repurposed into the Shiras School Store, named in memory of alumnus Peter Shiras ’44. The benches in the courtyard, cut from our own abundant supply of boulders, were donated in memory of Michael Walter from the class of 1986. We thank trustee Sharron Smith P ’92 for her vision to support this courtyard, and architect Susan Phillips-Hungerford P ’00, ’05, ’07 for designing the space. Susan was also instrumental in helping us with the interior color and furniture details in Gillespie Hall.

LIzzY TAKYI ’13“Gillespie is a great addition to campus. The new student commons has created an opportunity for students to really come together, get to know each other well and to hang out.”


I wish to thank the people behind the scenes who have made this building and event possible. Alumni and Development Director Erika Rogers has worked tirelessly with her staff, Donna Stone, Lucy Shonk, and Jan Haman, to raise money and awareness for this building. We thank Jen Whitesel, Scott Gardner, and Emily Johnson for handling the budget for the building and processing those few bills that came through their office for it. I would also like to note that this building, like just about every other building on campus, has Trustee David Howe’s fingerprints all over it. Not one of the campus improvements you see around campus today could have been completed without the leadership of our former Board Chair David and our current Board Chair Peter Imhoff. I am convinced that Peter, himself, has spent at least an hour a day over the last year checking every construction detail on this building.

Gillespie Hall was imagined as a place to build community, it was designed by a community, it was financed by our community, it was built by a community and is now being celebrated by a community. Mr. Gillespie represents everything that is good about communities. He literally did everything at Dublin School. A scholar who inspired generations of students to delve deeply into text, language, and theorem, Charley was also the school nurse, a snow removal expert, the lift attendant, and tractor driver. As a head of school I can appreciate the thought of having someone like Mr. G, that person who would turn out the last light, lock the doors, and make sure everyone was safe and healthy in their beds at night. I am honored today to introduce one of Charley’s children, Susan Gillespie Hunt….” – Brad Bates, Head of School

”Wow! This is truly a privilege to be a part of this dedication of Gillespie Hall to honor my father. I am grateful to all those who have been a facet in making this possible – from the original idea to the last shingle. It is an incredible building with character and it blends into the existing theme of the Dublin School campus. I am proud to represent his family with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren with me.

Over the years I have accumulated several boxes and folders of pictures…of my parents, pictures of us as children, pictures of the hurricane in ’38 and its massive damage, pictures of students from years ago, artwork from students to Dad, notes and letters from previous faculty and students, all expressing their gratitude for his guidance and wisdom.

One letter that might interest you takes us back to the beginning, in 1935. It is a letter from Dad’s sister Maud Haskins and I believe it was to their parents. In part, it reads this way:

“Yesterday, Jimmy brought a special delivery letter for Charles and it was from Mr. Lehmann, a man to whom Charles had written about a teaching position. We went to meet with him in Dublin, NH. I sat in the car while Charles went for the interview. When Charles came back he looked pleased and he said ‘I can have the job if I’d like to take it.’

Of course we talked all the way home. It is a preparatory school being started. Mr. Lehmann has references from several men that Charles knows from Harvard. The school is quite expensive and they mean to give almost individual attention. The salary is quite small, only $300 yearly with room, board and laundry.

For just the experience, we think this is not too bad to try. We are inclined to think that it would be the right thing to accept, but he has to have a talk with Harriet. If one of Charles’ references advises Mr. Lehmann to venture, he cannot very well oppose Charles working with him.”

for this “just the experience, not too bad to try ‘venture’” – it lasted forty years! The venture proved that he and Mr. Lehmann had the same goals, the same mission: to start an education center in the country, Dublin, NH, that had few diversions and a one-on-one interaction with the students. They had a goal to stimulate young minds, to prepare them for their futures, to understand their capabilities and to instill in them a good foundation on which to build their future. Paul Lehmann and my father had a mission – to plant a seed, nurture it and watch it grow.

At this point, I would like to acknowledge my mother and Nancy Lehmann for understanding the goals of their husbands. I would guess that they spent countless hours without their presence but still supported them and believed in their mission. They too were pioneers.

We, as children, had endless opportunities and access to culture, nature and education. We had all of the opportunities that the students had and our parents exposed us to an honest and healthy upbringing. I am fortunate to have grown up in this positive and energetic environment; I would like to relate some of my experiences.

To me, Dad was Dad, and yes he was special because he was my dad. Even then, I knew that he did everything, and he was always on the go. What I did not realize when I was

JILLIAN STEELE ’13 “Gillespie is a great place

to hang out and it is the center where I work, and having the gallery

downstairs provides a center for inspiration.”

growing up was the intangible appreciation of culture, nature, truth and courage, and the pride and respect that he was instilling in my young mind.

He taught me gardening, how to study the stars, how to recognize birds, how to cook a perfect poached egg, and how to carve meat, to mention a few. Every night he would put a record on his phonograph and I would go to sleep listening to Bach, Mozart, or Beethoven. I remember growing up on the Dublin School campus where the Hill House was home, having the freedom to walk the valleys, climb Mount Monadnock and swim in Dublin Lake. I remember hearing the Dublin School Glee Club, and seeing the stage production of HMS Pinafore in the Arts Building. I recall Mrs. Shonk’s piano recitals, Mr. Twitchell’s bagpipes, the spring dances, Bonnie Allen Riley’s summer modern dance groups, getting an introduction to German by Mr. Wheeler, watching Mr. LaRoche paint, watching soccer games, ski jump competitions, and Nancy Lehmann’s 4:00 Sunday tea.

I had the freedom to skate whenever I wanted. Bill North was an excellent skater and he taught me how to skate a figure eight. I had the freedom to put on the floodlights to the skating rink (which was just below the Hill House) and skate all by myself.

Evidently there were not electric bill problems in those days!!!

I had the freedom to go skiing. After a cautious descent and finally making it to the bottom of the slope, I would always need help from a student to help me up the rope tow, probably because my two layers of knit mittens just didn’t grip!!! However, I always felt safe because either Dad, Norm Wight or Paul Lehmann was running the motor and ensuring the safety of the skiers.

Dad wanted me to have some responsibility and assigned a summer job – to mow the athletic field. I was eager to start my job and to make my own spending money. At 50 cents an hour, I had visions of great wealth. I was soon discouraged, because after mowing for hours and days, the small portion of the field that I had mowed had already grown back. Needless to say, the hay cutters had to take over.

We all know his life was the school and how diversified he was. In his reserved English manner, he inspired many students as well as adults by verbal guidance and a calm and consistent listening ability. By giving respect to all, he in turn was respected.

I remember him taking summer classes to update his knowledge of his many subjects, his tending to plumbing and electrical work (often times in the middle of the night), and grading the then dirt roads to the Hill House. I have memories of boiling sap in the sugarhouse, thawing frozen pipes, and calling the fire department for the annual chimney fire at the Main House and those two aspirin, which he called “the miracle drug.”

I do not recall him ever swearing or raising his voice. I do remember, however, if he were not pleased with something that I had done or said, he would raise (that one) eyebrow…I knew I was in trouble! Perhaps some of you had seen that eyebrow! He would then say, “every time you do something like that, Susan, I get another gray hair”...well, you have seen his portrait…

Over the years the staff of Dublin School has honored Charles Gillespie in appreciation of his endless devotion to the nurturing of the students, the maintenance of the property and the quality of schooling. The School honored him when he retired by sending Mom and him to England, his homeland. I know he had many memorable experiences there; reuniting with distant relatives, seeing the beautiful country and seeing his childhood home.

The school has honored him with the portrait of my father by Richard Whitney, truly a masterpiece. I, who went to the School of the Museum of fine Arts for a short time, can truly appreciate his work for the exactness of detail and life-likeness. (He captured Dad’s suggestion of a smile.) He is a genius to all of us who have seen his work, and he is admired and appreciated. In a note from Richard Whitney to my father, he said, “I really enjoyed painting your portrait. you are a real gentleman.”

Within the walls are the Spencer Student Center, the Christopher Horgan Studio, and the Putnam Gallery, which make this dedication of Gillespie Hall truly an honor to him. If you will allow me to personify Gillespie Hall…

The building has some of my father’s qualities – it has a strong foundation and good bones. It is conservative but stately. It is handsome, it is dignified, and it is filled with intelligence and creativity.

Dublin School has grown so rapidly and gracefully and yet still preserves the quality of the School and its traditions. My father’s relevance is truly noted and appreciated. He would be humbled by this monumental gesture.”

Last May, we celebrated the opening of the Putnam Gallery at Dublin School, made possible by the generosity of Thomas P. Putnam ’61 and The Putnam Foundation. This year’s inaugural season featured contributions by 10 recognized artists representing a variety of media.

JEssiE Pollock & bonniE bEnnEtt August 21 – September 28, 2012“Jessie Pollock’s richly textured landscape paintings and luminous photo-based images are romantic, sensuous and evocative. They suggest the passage of time and evoke nostalgia for times past. Intensely appealing for their tactile surfaces and radiant light, Pollock’s paintings transcend the reality of a specific time or place.” – Susan Strickler

JEri EisEnbErg October 12 – November 16, 2012Jeri Eisenberg’s work allows us to see the staggeringly beautiful in the “mundane” world we live in and ask us to examine the incredibly complex event we call “Vision,” something else we take for granted day to day. Jeri Eisenberg’s photos dance along the border between abstraction and representation. In that moment between seeing a jumble of shapes and then recognizing a meaningful image is a chance to see how remarkable perception really is.

MISSION

The Putnam Gallery at Dublin School provides opportunities for our students and our local community to engage with living visual artists across a broad range of media, techniques, themes and styles. We strive to challenge viewers, to awaken curiosity, offer new directions for exploratory learning, and to benefit from the gifts that exposure to beauty can give us.

In response to the Jeri Eisenberg exhibit, Jenny foreman, Dublin School dance teacher, choreographed a duet for Charlotte Caron ’15 and Peter Bascom ’13 entitled Eyes that Listen, Ears that See to music by George Winston. It was performed on family Weekend as a site-specific event inside the Putnam Gallery.

“I tried to capture the essence of the work, the reverence for nature, the juxtaposition of positive and negative space that is present in the photography. The dance was not a literal interpretation, but rather a work of imagination stemming from the same inspirations as Ms. Eisenberg’s exhibit. The dancers were incredible in the gallery space – it was a really wonderful moment of collaboration.”

DuBLIN SCHOOL GRADuATIONAnnouncing the Class of 2012

* Indicates honor student


brooks Johnson “The world is a scary place and what the world

really needs is leaders. Fortunately there is a stage

full sitting behind me. See, when you graduate

from Dublin School, with your diploma comes

responsibility; the responsibility to lead. Now you must

lead. Leaders challenge. They challenge what they

read, what they hear, what they see. They challenge

themselves and they challenge others. To challenge

means to not just accept what you are told. To

challenge is to find proof, to challenge is to seek

truth. And I don’t care who you are or where you

are, to challenge something; to challenge anything

takes courage.”

PEtEr doPP ’12“Everyone develops and learns through the

experiences in their lives. It is the nature of every

being to adapt to the environment they’re put in.

Whether that’s a wolf developing fur to insulate

itself by means of evolution, or a human creating

themselves a new job opportunity in a big, booming

city. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t.

Nothing’s holding you back from being what you

want to be. Because you can do anything, and

what you do is what makes you.”

ashlEy arana ’12 “Over March break I had the opportunity to go to

The Himalayan Public School in Choukourri, India as

a school trip. As we drove into the school’s campus

I saw a sign at one of the main entrances that said

‘Come for knowledge, leave for service.’ Every day

I saw this sign and always thought of how it could

apply to me. I then began to think of Dublin, and the

many things we learn here. Although we loathe work

gang we have to admit that we’ve learned things

like how to build a lean-to, a ropes course, or how to

extract maple syrup from the trees around campus

and many other things too. But most importantly we

have learned dedication and love for education.”

brad batEsHead of School “This is a special group to me. The Bates family arrived with many of you four years ago, like us, you were eager, curious, expectant and nervous. I remember looking out of my office window and seeing this small pack of fourteen freshmen traveling as a herd across the quad, trying not to make eye contact with the other students and yet hoping to be noticed. you have each grown as individuals and your class has come together as a unit. They have seen many changes in the school, but more importantly, they have been agents of change. They have helped to build the school and particularly the school culture that we enjoy today.”

PEtEr imhoFFPresident, Board of Trustee“for the class of 2012, over the next several years, you will have the incredible opportunity to further your education. That is not necessarily the same thing as getting good grades. While there are numerous shortcuts to good grades, there is no shortcut to a great education. unless you are willing to invest yourselves fully in the process – to be willing to challenge yourselves, your peers and, dare I say it, your professors (though always in a respectful manner) – you will not find the deep level of understanding that is the difference between being well trained, and being educated.”


Commencement Speech by Cindy McGinty, parent of Daniel McGinty ’10.

As the parent of one son that graduated from here in 2010 and one son that will graduate from another high school this summer and head off to college in the fall, I feel I can join all of the parents in that collective sigh of relief that comes with graduation. Some of these kids got here taking the hard path and some an easier road but whatever the course, the world is about to open for them and it is an exciting day.

your last four years have been building up to this very moment. Teachers and administrators here at Dublin have been busy preparing you to launch into this next phase of your life. you may think that it was all about the history, math, art or you might think it was about work gang, getting up on time, getting to morning meeting and sports. But it was about more than all of those things, it was about helping you to find your truth and your courage.

That magic happens every time a student is given the opportunity to try something new or stretch themselves. Every time a student gets up at morning meeting and performs a song or a new dance; every time a student joins a work gang or tries a new sport or artistic pursuit, they are given an opportunity to stretch themselves in a safe place. Perhaps you were a student who tried drama or sang in front of the school for the first time. In many schools you would not have that opportunity.

Many of you remade yourselves here. Perhaps you were shy, the class clown or the kid that underperformed. Dublin gave you a place to change that, to reinvent yourself or to become the best you. This is how truth and courage is born.

So where is that magic? It is in the people that live and work here at Dublin and in the beautiful surroundings here. Everyone who works here takes the values of Truth and Courage to heart. Take those values with you and lay them on your heart as you leave here. They are priceless gifts that will serve you well in life.

I didn’t find my truth or courage until much later in my life. Not because I didn’t want to but I wasn’t in a place that helped me to do this. It wasn’t nurtured in me like it is here. I’d like to share some of

my story so you can see why I feel so strongly about these values.

I grew up in a very blue collar town in CT. We had just enough - no more no less. I graduated high school and worked my way through college. I took no chances. Believe it or not I was painfully shy. I was unprepared for the world and what was about to happen to me.

On a gorgeous sunny day some men boarded a plane and my life was changed forever. you see the love of my life and the father to my children was in the World Trade Center attending a meeting and he died that day. That is the day I changed. Instead of being the person who donated to charity I became the charity. It was a VERy humbling experience to say the least. I was left confused, grief stricken and my life was out of control. All that I had known and counted on was lost. I also found out just what I was made of that day.

People often ask me how I got through those days and I have to say that two big things helped me - I had kids and you just have to get up and get going. you just put one foot in front of the other. They still demand your attention and they still deserved a happy childhood no matter what had happened. We were, after all, still a family.

The other thing that helped me get through that time was that I had the help of a senator. Early on, Senator Kennedy called to express condolences to all the Massachusetts families personally - something not many people knew. He also invited all the Mass 9/11 families to a meeting in Boston to get information. I was frustrated by all the red tape we had to go through to get help from various agencies like the Red Cross, Social Security, Salvation Army and fBI so I decided to go.

What I learned was that many of the families who had lost loved ones could not speak for themselves because they were still so raw with grief and I found my voice as an advocate for them. Once the 9/11 families were in a better place, I went on to help found the Mass Military Heroes fund, which provides the same services to families that have lost service members since 9/11.

Every day I get up I think about my husband, Mike, and Senator Kennedy and I try to do something to make them proud of me. I believe that more than ever our world needs more good people in it. We need more kindness, caring and love. I believe that each of us can change this world.

Have the courage to take that leap and step outside your comfort zone. you will discover things about yourself you never knew and, yes, you can make a difference.

In my time on the Board of the Dublin School, Dublin has never been in better financial condition. We certainly have our limitations, but given the economic environment we are living in, we have much to celebrate. With a limited endowment and annual fund, we will

continue to be highly tuition dependent. I do not view these limitations as a

bad thing. They require us to remain focussed on the things that we believe

in and that we are good at. We have to listen intently to the needs of the

parents and teenagers whom we serve. We have to make smart choices and

be disciplined. They force us to be deeply introspective about who we are.

Over time, and in order to reduce risk, we have funded a $500,000 operating

reserve. ultimately though, our continuing financial success is completely

dependent upon the quality of the educational program of the school.

Remarkable progress has been achieved by our management team, led by

Head of School Brad Bates, in further building a sustainable, first class school

that is consistent with our values and history. While the substantial physical

improvements to our campus are the most tangible and obvious examples of

our efforts, profound progress has been made in all areas of school life.

Building on the foundational DNA of the school, we have expanded the

range and quality of academic, athletic, artistic and even work gang offerings

available to our students. In the last year, Dublin students have backpacked

and skied the White Mountains, canoed in Northern Quebec, worked with

students in remote villages in the Himalayan Mountains and run 204 miles

across NH through the night. Chinese is being spoken on campus by both

native speakers and students from Nelson and Brooklyn. The old art studio is

humming with mountain bike repairs. Eighteen students are enrolled in AP

calculus. One of the most popular languages on campus is Java.

The result of this somewhat frenetic activity is lots of engaged, happy and

appropriately tired students. Most importantly, interest in the school is at an

all-time high, whether measured by the number of sibling pairs on campus,

the quantity of potential students who are visiting each week, or the quality

of the admissions candidates who we reluctantly turned away this past year.

This demonstrable enthusiasm for Dublin School gives me great confidence

in our future financial results.

A Message of ThanksERIKA ROGERS, DIRECTOR Of DEVELOPMENT AND ALuMNI AffAIRS

for the past 75 years, Dublin School has grown and prospered thanks to the generous annual, capital and endowment support of our alumni, parents and friends. These gifts have ensured Dublin’s future by sustaining a wide range of academic, athletic, and artistic programs, maintaining our beautiful campus, and

building new campus facilities.

The total for all gifts for the fiscal year July 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012 was $923,859.66. Of this total, $353,535 was given to our Annual fund, which provides critical revenue to the School each year as illustrated in the financial summary on Page 20 of this report. Last year’s Annual fund appeal focused on work gang, and in the true spirit of work gang, 440 of you pitched in to make sure we met our goal. I am especially thankful for those of you who give to Dublin School each and every year, thereby investing in the continued success of our School.

In addition to the Annual fund, $570,325 was given to support a variety of projects including a new Head of School residence, an expansion of our cross-country trail system, a new boat house on Dublin Lake, and the new Shiras School Store. We also received gifts to be used for a new Dublin School marketing initiative, a new campus quad, and new sails and dry suits for our sailing program.

All that we have has been built through hard work and the generosity of our community. Our motto of Truth and Courage is just as applicable to the financial success of the School as it is to the lives of our students. The Truth is that Dublin School depends on the support of its alumni, parents and friends, and to those who have had the Courage to step forward and share that responsibility. Thank you.

Class of 1962 - 50th Class Reunion: Bill Erdle, Bob Atkins, Stew Macsherry, Bill Taylor, Chip Hastings and Michael Logan

Daniel Holder ’64 recently took a trip to the Galapagos Islands. In June left for the South Seas where he chartered a 41-foot sailboat for 10 days to sail from Raiatea to Bora Bora and to Huahinee.

Henry Smith ’65 says he should probably write down his many Dublin stories. “There are many of them, and they are descriptive of what life was really like in a boys’ boarding school, back in the 60’s. It was a world in miniature, but it was all there: Drama, pathos, humor, courage, trepidation, and paradox in large doses.”

David Rousmaniere ’67 stopped by for a quick visit in the spring of 2012. He had been in touch with Rick O’Connor as both lived in NC. He took a tour of campus and talked about his old days at Dublin when he lived in Hill House. He loved the new addition of the Gillespie Hall, and the Perkin Observatory. David is the Director of the Student Health Center at the university of North Carolina in Charlotte.

Class of 1967 - 45th Reunion: Guy Jackson, Jamie Huntington-Meath, Rick O’Connor, Anthony Stevens and Chet Lawson

Rick O’Connor ‘67 is the First Recipient of the Richard Harding ‘66 Outstanding Class Agent Award

This award was submitted by proposal from John Pyle ’66 in remembrance of Rick Harding. John writes, “Rick and I were in two different dorms together - the Wing and the Hill House. I never saw Rick in a down or sullen mood. He was always upbeat and enthusiastic about people. At our reunions, he would remember what our career aspirations were and would ask us how we were progressing towards our goals. Rick had a profound interest in people; he was a people person. In no uncertain terms, Rick was a leader and never a follower. Rick’s affiliation with Dublin as an alumnus was exceptional, he was on high octane! His efforts were indeed tireless. I feel that Rick was Dublin – Dublin was Rick, plain and simple.”


Mark Struhsacker ’72, the radio ad salesman who created the WDEV Radio Rangers in 1986, continues to play guitar with the group, and has released his first solo CD, “Cold Outside.” It’s a welcome addition to the bluegrass library. [email protected]

Chip Anderson ’76 is working on a book that is a series of academic studies of the Gospel of Mark with the working title of Wasted Evangelism: Social Action and the Church’s Task of Evangelism. Chip says: “I professionally deal with poverty issues and have for the last 15 years, so I have combined the two professional areas of my life.”

Antonio Azar ’81 is the Assistant Director of Admissions, Student and School Relations at university of California Irvine, and was back on campus this November to meet with College Counselor, Holly Macy, and current students interested in the uC, Irvine. Antonio also had a great visit with former Headmaster, Michael Cornog, and teacher Jan Haman. He is still very close with the Moncada family, Paca in Washington DC and Señor and Señora who are enjoying their retirement in Columbia.

Gerardo Valdes ’83 visited campus this summer with his wife Anna Marie and their two children Gerardo, 8 and Anna Marie, 12. He had not been on campus since he attended in the early 80’s. He came to Dublin in 1979 and his brother Paco attended here as well. He has many fond memories of Luis and

Bradley Koontz ’84 in the fall of 2012 met up with Scott Peterson ’84 in Boston. Scott was passing through on his way to Maine. That day Brad’s son, Isamu, was born . . . what a coincidence! Brad visits his family in Keene often.

Carl Ladd ’87 is the founder (with his wife Sam) of the Osprey Sea & Surf Adventures (www.ospreyseakayak.com). He spends most of the day escorting would-be adventurers of all ages in kayaks up and down the pristine rivers of southeastern New England. He also recently played in the Dublin School Alumni Lacrosse game last May.

Tim Caulfield ’89 visited campus this past August with his wife and three children after a family climb up Mt. Monadnock (pictured above). Tim and his family live in Maine and recently attended an alumni gathering in freeport, Maine, hosted by Maurice Willoughby ’84. He is planning on joining Brad Bates this June for the 2nd annual Dublin School “Ride for Dublin.” for more information about this event, contact Erika Rogers at [email protected]

More than 30 years ago, I arrived at Dublin School as a sophomore full of hope and anticipation. I was introduced to Dublin School through A Better Chance Inc., a scholarship program that matches deserving students of color with independent schools. I vividly recall my trip up to Dublin, New Hampshire from my home in

the Bronx, Ny with my mother in the fall of 1981. upon arriving in Keene, NH, we were met by Señor Luis Moncada, Dean of Students, a distinguished looking man, who I later learned coached soccer and had played soccer professionally in his home country of Colombia. After a quick campus tour, I was shown to my room in the “New Dorm.” After saying goodbye to my mother, I unpacked and settled into my new surroundings. I remember thinking to myself, “What would this experience be like?” “Would I like Dublin School?” “Would I get along with the other students?” “Where would I get my hair cut?” This would be my first experience living in a residential setting with people other than my family.

Dublin School of the 1980s was a “no frills” school with a strong sense of community. The Whitney Gymnasium, Perkin Observatory, Gillespie Hall, and the Evans Library, to name a few recent campus additions, were not built when I attended Dublin School.

unlike some of our peer institutions, Dublin School did not have a custodial staff or large maintenance staff. Manual labor was a central component of the community building experience at Dublin School. It did not matter if you were a trust fund kid, the kid of an executive or professional, a kid from Peterborough or a kid from the Bronx; we all cut wood in the lower valley together, laid wooden walkways along the paths before the first snow together, performed work gang and dorm jobs together and lived and learned from each other. And thanks to Steve Zakon, we definitely ate better than our peers attending other boarding schools.

My three years at Dublin School far exceeded my expectations. I am grateful for having had the privilege to live and learn in such a close knit, caring community with instructors and mentors some of whom include: Terry Dwyer -truly a Renaissance man, the legendary Señor Luis Moncada and Señora Dora Moncada - whom I never saw wear pants during my tenure at Dublin School, Rist Bonnefond - with his bone crushing handshake, boundless energy and love of winter sports, Dan Abel - who made Physics understandable, Dr. Kerwin - who could forget the song… “Green Green, I’m goin’ away where the Grass is Greener Still?”… and dedicated instructors who are STILL at Dublin School some 30 years later; Jan Haman - Dublin’s longest serving instructor and our very own Queen of Drama and Carl Von Mertens - a selfless and humble man.

Dublin School provided me with new skills and tools for life that I continue to rely upon even today. As a student living in the New Dorm and Lehmann House, I learned tolerance and acceptance and how to live with people from different backgrounds. It was at morning meeting and drama productions where I developed the confidence to stand up in front of a large audience and deliver a message. Playing sports provided me with an opportunity to work as part of a team. Serving as a student leader and proctor provided me with an opportunity to demonstrate leadership. I am grateful for these opportunities. My experiences at Dublin School contributed significantly to my personal development and who I am today.

CLASS NOTES

As I sit in the seat, I think I sat in for a year, I try to remember it all. I try to remember all the faces, all the places, and all the scenery I saw over 4 years. Man has it changed, but boy do I miss it more and more each year. I wish there was something I could do, something I could say to leave a lasting impression upon this place, but all I can think to do is say thank you. Thank you for the experiences and thank you for the friends even if that is a fraction of what I’m thankful for. I will never forget this place even if I try. If I could have it all back I would. I’ve moved on now to a different world but I will always take this place with me. Thank you Everyone. Thank you Dublin. Live it every day! – David Infanti ’10

John “Tom” Griffin ’46, 84, passed away May 9, 2012. He attended Dublin School for 7th and 8th grade (1940-1941) before entering Deerfield Academy and graduating in 1946. Tom then went on to the university of Michigan, majoring in economics and eventually earned his PhD from Pace university where he taught for over twenty years. One of Dublin School’s most loyal supporters, Tom was Chair of the Lehmann Legacy Circle, visited Dublin regularly, and gave generously to the Annual fund for over 40 years. In Paul Lehmann’s Dublin School book, Tom wrote, “The two years I spent at Dublin were probably the two most important formative years of my life . . . and among the most enjoyable.” His dedication to his family, commitment to his community and love for Dublin School were truly inspiring. He will be deeply missed.

In Memory Of

Stu Laughlin ’49, passed away on June 19, 2012 after a brief illness, at the age of 81. A longtime Newton, MA resident, Stu was a devoted and active member of The union Church in Waban, The Windsor Club, Brae Burn Country Club, and Portland Country Club. A member of “The Villagers” since 1971, Stu served as Secretary from 1987-2012 and is identified as the “face” of the organization. The words used by Paul Lehmann describing Stu at his graduation from Dublin School in 1949 certainly capture the extraordinary man we had the pleasure of knowing these past few years. (“Throughout these years, we have known the warmth of your friendship, the generosity of your smile, and the good fellowship which you have so readily shared. By your fine adherence to ideals and your unselfish devotion to the truth, you have won not only our congratulations but our deep respect.” – PWL) He was a devoted supporter of Dublin School, an exceptional class agent and dear friend to all.

She loved to perform; she played Rebecca Gibbs in “Our Town.” Her previous productions were “Into the Woods” and “Once on This Island.” She enjoyed dancing and skiing. In memory of Michel, the Class of 2010, has set-up a memorial fund to build an outdoor fireplace at the School. Donations can be made directly to the School; a dedication is planned for Mayfair Weekend – May 18, 2013.

thomas P. rockwEll ’37 December 12, 1917 – September 2, 2012

The first graduate of Dublin School, Tom Rockwell ’37 died peacefully at home on September

2, 2012. He was 96. A lifelong resident of North Andover, MA, he was a quiet man, proud of his

family heritage, and talented with machinery. Tom was a steadfast supporter of Dublin School,

rarely missed a reunion, and carefully followed the development of the School. Tom once

wrote to Paul and Nancy Lehmann, sharing that, “My only claim to fame throughout my life

has been that I claim to be the oldest living graduate of the Dublin School.” Tom was indeed

the oldest living alumnus of Dublin School, but that was hardly his only claim to fame. Tom

will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all of us at Dublin School.
