I will tell you that it is very, very gratifying to look back over this last year, the 78th in

our School’s history and my first as headmaster. We are blessed with outstanding students

who just become more remarkable every year. They are supported, guided and challenged

by the finest boarding school faculty any new head could possibly hope for. The Fountain

Valley School is stewarded by a wise board and sustained by generous benefactors

and alumni.

As an alumnus, I feel that our giving is motivated by a sense of gratitude for

the transforming experience we enjoyed as students on this beautiful campus. But these

sustaining gifts reach far beyond our own memories. Our gifts are building the future by

leveraging this School’s ability to open young minds and provide transformative experi-

ences for a new generation of students who go on to change the world.

Among the many high points of this last year, consider that enrollment rose by 10

percent, and that total Annual Fund dollars given rose by 14 percent, led by increases in

excess of 20 percent by alumni and parents, along with 100 percent participation rates

by faculty and trustees.

Thanks to annual giving, the study of Mandarin has become a reality and the Learning

Center has been established. Girls lacrosse has begun and boys ice hockey is coming

this year. Thanks to new capital gifts, the Hacienda dining room has been renovated, an

indoor riding arena has been built, a 400-meter track is being laid, the Lewis Perry Jr.

Chapel is being extended, and a welcome center will now greet visitors as they enter the

campus. Thanks to current and planned gifts to endowment,

our beautiful campus is being preserved and the School’s

progress can be sustained into the future. Thanks to your

gifts, this is a school on the move.

We could not have been successful without the leadership of

our Trustees, Class Agents and Parents Fund volunteers. They

reached out to us and encouraged us to join together to move

this School forward. In particular, I would like to thank Development Committee Chair Jim

Dulin ’76 (Hunter ’07, Tyler ’09 and Callie ’11) and Annual Fund Chair Greg Osborne

’81 for their enthusiasm, optimism and energy. I would also like to thank Board President

Jim Scott ’68 (James ’95, Courtney ’99 and Dana ’05) for his vision and leadership.

On behalf of the students, faculty and staff, please accept my thanks for your support.

Giving does make greatness, and I extend an open invitation to you all to come to

Fountain Valley and see your generosity at work and the greatness it has brought to our

School.

Sincerely,

Craig W. Larimer Jr. ’69, Headmaster

(Hazel ’04, Robert ’07, Wiles ’09, Matthew ’12)

Dear alumni and Friends of Fvs:


�

On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Fountain Valley School I would like to thank every-

one who contributed to making 2007-08 such a successful and generous year. Fountain

Valley is a small school but fills such a large space in the hearts of those of us who are

connected. It has changed our lives and the lives of our family and friends. The dream of

Elizabeth Sage Hare, Francis Froelicher and so many who have followed remains vital

because of your commitment and generosity.

We completed a successful Annual Fund drive because of 100 percent board and fac-

ulty participation, hard-working Class Agents, giving parents and grandparents, and

the great Casa Serena Society! The Annual Fund is so important to our School because

tuition alone cannot sustain the best faculty, right mix of students and uniquely magnifi-

cent campus and facilities that are FVS. Thanks to the great leadership and their effort.

In the past year we have seen the power of the generosity of a few who have made

special gifts to FVS. The indoor riding arena made possible by the Lovelace family will

transform the riding program. The dining hall improvements that Jerry Frautschi ’49

and Pleasant Rowland made possible will allow our community the highest quality

experience every time they gather for a meal. The expansion of the Lewis Perry Jr. Chapel

inspired by the Thatcher family will give our larger student body the ability to gather

comfortably in that special place. And the track made possible by the Stoot family will

give our runners a place fit for their triumphs. Again, thanks to these important donors!

The foundation of our School’s stability and sustainability is

its endowment. Generous and often quiet donors continue

to add to this critical asset. Occasionally we are reminded of

how lasting and powerful a testament to one’s belief in FVS

is made by including our School in our estate plans. You

can rest assured that the Trustees are committed to careful

stewardship of these important gifts.

Lastly, I would like to thank Craig Larimer ’69 for his leadership of our School. As our

first alumnus headmaster, Craig understands our history and the legacy left by others.

He also sees a great future and is solidly leading the School toward its realization.

Thank you to all for your strong support of Fountain Valley School.

Sincerely,

Jim Scott ’68, Board President

(James ’95, Courtney ’99, Dana ’05)

Dear alumni and Friends of Fvs:

�

Two years ago, Ann Carson’s AP Environmental

Science class did a rough calculation of the School’s

“carbon footprint” as a class project. In order to

accomplish this, the class analyzed six months of

utility bills and determined the mass (in metric tons)

of carbon emitted through our electricity, natural gas

and gasoline* consumption.

The goal was to use this study as a baseline, then

later determine ways that the School could reduce its

energy use and thus the amount of carbon dioxide

emitted. Carbon dioxide has been firmly linked to

climate change by the Nobel Prize winning Intergov-

ernmental Panel on Climate Change, a group of ap-

proximately 2,000 climate scientists from more than

70 countries.

This fall, Carson’s class repeated the calculation

using data from 2007-08 as a comparison. The results

show that both natural gas and electricity use

decreased, and the School’s carbon emissions fell by

a total of 8.4 percent, if bus gasoline is counted, and

10.9 percent, if it is not. (Gasoline use appears to

have increased since 2006-07, although the School

did not have complete data that year – see notes on

the following data.)


�


Ca r b o n Fo o t p r i n t – De C r e a s i n g C o2 e m i s s i o n s at FVs

Some reasons the footprint

may have decreased include:

1. Increasing the use of

compact fluorescent bulbs

throughout campus -

approximately 150 bulbs

installed in spring of 2007.

These bulbs are four times

as efficient as regular

incandescent bulbs.

�. Encouraging lifestyle

changes in the community,

from turning out lights to

turning off computers and

taking shorter showers.

Conservation Corps and

the AP Environmental

Science class are doing this

with signage and other

awareness methods.

Ideas to further reduce the

FVS footprint include:

1. More efficiently heating

and cooling buildings, incor-

porating energy conservation

strategies like programmable

thermostats, weatherstripping,

etc. Last year, the School

received a grant to conduct

an energy audit of two dorms

on campus, providing infor-

mation about ways to save

energy across campus.

�. Increase FVS recycling.

In the past, we had more

limited access to recycling

(paper, #1 and 2 plastic,

aluminum/steel cans and

cardboard.) As of September

2008, the School can recycle

just about everything, includ-

ing #1-7 plastic and glass.

While this will not show in

calculations, recycling uses

far less energy, hence should

decrease the School’s contri-

bution of greenhouse gasses.

�. Encourage more day

students to ride our day

buses rather than drive

personal cars.

*Note on the data: • Electricity and natural gas represent lighting, electrical power, heating and cooling for all buildings on campus. • Gasoline only represents FVS bus use and does NOT include personal vehicles driven by faculty and students.

The 2006-07 data is taken from an average of one month, so is less accurate than the 2007-08 data, which reflects each month’s gasoline use. • For calculations, 12.06 lbs CO2 = 1 hundred cubic feet of natural gas, 1.93 lbs CO2 = 1kwh of coal-fired electricity, 19.5 lbs CO2 = 1 gallon gasoline,

2205 lbs = 1 metric ton (Source = www.carbonfund.org)

h o l i s t i C r a n C h e r

For his holistic and innovative approach to cattle ranching, rukin Jelks ’46 was named the

2004 Cattleman of the Year by the Arizona Cattle Growers Association. He uses a method of grazing cattle on his 8,000-acre Diamond C Ranch much like herds are managed in South Africa, pasturing cattle in one area and using a whistle to call them when it is time to move to the next pasture. The result is vigorously tilled land and fresh, nutritious pastures. Jelks says, “Holistic management is essential for anyone involved with land management and stewardship, and a valuable guide for those seeking to make better decisions within their business, community, or any aspect of their lives.” Rukin credits his FVS education as being a great influence in his “successful adventure in life” and giving him the “confidence at an early age to cope gracefully through life.”

Fountain Valley School gratefully accepts both

unrestricted and restricted gifts. Unrestricted gifts

provide FVS important flexibility to support the

current highest priority, whereas restricted gifts are

applied to a particular project or program specified

by the donor, such as faculty salaries, scholarship or

campus maintenance. Gifts may be designated for

one of the following four categories.

Fvs annual Fund

The Annual Fund is Fountain

Valley’s annual fundraising

priority and a vital source of

revenue. Every dollar raised

goes to support the annual

operating budget and provide

the very best teaching and

educational experiences for

FVS students.

endowment

Contributions by vision-

ary donors to the School’s

endowment serve as both a

permanent source of income

and a long-term investment

in the well-being of Fountain

Valley. One of the tenets of

the FVS Strategic Plan is to

build endowment. The Board

of Trustees’ goal is to preserve

the principal value of gifts to

endowment for the future.

FVS has a comprehensive in-

vestment and spending policy

that governs investments and

ensures the most effective

management and spending of

the endowment.

In 1978, a group of FVS alumni, parents and friends of the School created the Casa Serena Society as a means of encouraging and recognizing exemplary support of Fountain Valley’s Annual Fund. “Casa Serena” means serene home, and is the original name given to the Hacienda building of the Bradley Ranch purchased by Elizabeth Sage Hare for FVS. Since the society’s beginnings, members collectively have contributed more than $12 million to the Annual Fund, thus supporting scholarship, faculty salaries and the richly diversified curriculum that is the hallmark of a Fountain Valley education. Casa Serena Society giving accounts for approximately 88 percent of annual giving, and Fountain Valley is indebted to these 249 members for their critical sustenance of the School’s fiscal strength.

On Feb. 21, 2008, approximately 100 society members from across the nation gathered at the Broad-moor Hotel for a 30th Anniversary celebration dinner. Guests were treated to musical performances by students and a commemorative raku bowl specially created by alumnus ceramicist Mark Wong ’86. The evening was capped by a surprise rendition of the School song, “Jerusalem,” performed by alumni members of the original School choir.

Fountain Valley School is deeply grateful to all past and current members of the Casa Serena Society for assuring the School’s longstanding position as a leader in secondary education.

aromatherapy developed into LATHER, an international company that includes a collection of all-natural ingredient skin care products, a chain of retail boutiques and a full service day spa in the heart of New York City. Delta Airlines and several hotels feature LATHER products for their guests. LATHER adheres to strict environmental policies, does not test on animals and offers customers discounts for recycling their empty containers. Another company policy is to give back to the community, and they partner with several worthy organizations in fund-raising efforts. About her Fountain Valley School experi-ence, she reflects, “FVS helped me develop my beliefs and passions in life and that has made all the difference.”

Chapel With a lead gift from Dr. and Mrs. Darryl Thatcher ’55 and his family, work has begun on an addition to the Lewis Perry Jr. Chapel, which was originally completed in late 1960. With increased enrollment, space has be-come tight in the student-built chapel during All-Schools and other celebrations.

Dining Room

The renovation of the FVS Dining Room was

made possible by the generous support of

Pleasant Rowland and Lifetime Trustee Jerry

Frautschi ’49. Unveiled in August 2008, the

additions are highlighted by a 12’ extension

on the west side of the dining hall with colon-

nade-style windows, allowing natural light

to stream in. Two ADA restrooms have been

added, along with a new serving area, pizza

oven, and a covered entrance on the east side.

Indoor Riding ArenaConstruction is nearly

complete on the new indoor riding arena, which will be

utilized by the School’s Eng-lish and Western equestrian

programs. The new facility is a 130’ x 300’ steel clear-span

indoor arena that includes stables, tack rooms, offices and classroom space. The arena is made possible by a lead donation from the

Lovelace family.

Outdoor Track

For the first time in School history, FVS athletes

will have an outdoor track on which to train

and compete. This exciting new addition is made

possible by a donation from the Stoot family

(FVS Trustee Fred Stoot, Janette, Dan ’07,

Steven ’09, Jenny ’11). The track will be located

just south of the administration building.

For every alumni in these classes who made a gift at the Casa Serena Society level ($1,500 or more), Board President Jim Scott ’68 donated $250 to one of the endowment funds named for a beloved master. Twenty-seven alumni responded to the challenge, and of these, seven were new Casa Serena Society members. A total of $68,818 in Annual Fund dollars was generated from these donors, and an additional $6,750 was donated by Scott for the following Fountain Valley endowments:

The Deck Cheney Endowment supporting the riding program

The F. Martin Brown Endowment for the teaching of science

The C. Dwight Perry Endowment for scholarship

The Jane and Charles F. Emery ’38 Scholarship Fund

The Lewis Perry Jr. Endowment for a humanities teaching chair

The School is grateful for this additional $75,568 in support from Jim Scott ’68 and alumni from his era.

President Eisenhower granted a pardon to Charlie Swift ’37 after he spent a year in federal

prison for refusing to register for the draft in protest over World War II. The pardon made it possible for Swift to go on and get his medical license. He worked in Tanzania for eight years where he taught medical school and, as the only psychiatrist in the country, organized nationwide psychiatric services. Swift names this as the most grati-fying experience of his life. His interest in non-violence grew in part from Founding Headmaster Froelicher’s public speaking class. “I’m sure these interests were nour-ished by the fact that Mr. F. was a Quaker,” he says. Three years ago, a German chapter of “The Fellowship of Reconciliation” invited him to join their group on a five-week tour of speaking engagements throughout Germany discussing their experiences and perspectives during World War II. Swift lives in Durango, Colo., where he is currently active in organizing the Southwest Colorado Peace and Justice Coalition.

Twenty-eight alumni responded to the challenge, with their increased giving totaling $9,141. Jim added $2,500 in matching funds. The grand total of $11,641 offers a nice boost to 2007-08 annual giving. Special thanks go to Jim Dulin ’76 and to all the alumni who supported his challenge.

Striving to raise the level of their class’s participation in annual giving, these three trustees presented the follow-ing challenge: If 50 percent of the class made an Annual Fund gift by June 30, each of the three trustees would contribute $5,000 to a fund named for one of Fountain Valley’s beloved masters. The class achieved 50.7 percent participation, and $27,990 in giving. In addition, Anderson, Howe and Osborne donated a total of $15,000, divided among the following funds:

The Riding Program honoring Deck Cheney

The F. Martin Brown Endowment for the teaching of science

The C. Dwight Perry Endowment for scholarship

The Jane and Charles F. Emery ’38 Scholarship Fund

The Lewis Perry Jr. Endowment for a humanities teaching chair

The Hunter Frost Theatre Endowment

Fountain Valley School extends sincere appreciation to these three generous trustee challenge leaders and to all the Class of 1981 donors.

This year of record fundraising would not be possible without the hard work of our 91 class agents. These dedicated

volunteers demonstrate their loyalty for Fountain Valley in myriad ways: keeping their classes unified via correspondence

and communications, generating a successful turnout for Alumni Reunion Weekend, keeping the School informed of

classmates’ news and contact information, staying current and sharing updates with their class on FVS developments,

and last but not least, soliciting and acknowledging important alumni support. Thank you for keeping our dynamic

alumni family strong!

Conservationist

Summer Alger Schulz ’94 is a rangeland management specialist for the Bureau of

Land Management. She works in the Pinedale field office of Wyoming overseeing a million acres, including the greater Yellowstone ecosystem. “My job as an ecologist is to ensure and promote responsible development of our natural resources,” she says. The job is controversial—to drill or not to drill; to graze or not to graze; invasive species man-agement—but Schulz finds the work reward-ing. She came to FVS from Florida and found her passion for the West. “I fell in love with the people and the landscape and feel an ur-gent need to apply my strengths and training to the conservation of Western ecosystems and the way of life,” Shulz says. She names a short course on holistic ranch management she took from FVS trustee and alumnus Kirk Hanna ’73 as setting her on her course. “Yes, I do what I do today in good measure due to wondrous opportunities offered by FVS.”

While this is History Department Chair Jake Emery ’71’s 20th year of teaching at FVS, an Emery family

member has been at Fountain Valley School for most of its 78 years, beginning with his grand-mother, Eleanor Emery, who worked for Found-ing Headmaster Francis Froelicher, and including father, John ’44; brother, Roe ’67; and uncle Senior Master Emeritus Chuck Emery ’38. Jake Emery took a 12-year hiatus from teaching for the business world, but came back to FVS in 1992. “I teach because I love the art of teaching,” he says, “the challenges of cajoling students to think and make connections, and also the rela-tionships that come from working in a boarding school environment.” He names FVS faculty who taught him as his mentors. “Without question, my experience as a student at FVS with Dwight Perry, John Raushenbush, Bob Patterson, John Munger and Charles Emery molded and continues to mold what I try to do in the classroom, on the athletic field or in everyday conversations with students.”

PhysiCian For human rights

Christopher Guerry ’93 was working with backpack medical teams in Burma as a fellow for the Johns Hopkins Center for Public Health and Human Rights when Physicians for Human Rights contacted him. He

was asked to assist in the investigation of human trafficking and the associated HIV/AIDS risks for Burmese and Hill Tribe women. Guerry conducted interviews in safe houses along the Thai-Burma border with women who had been victims of trafficking, exploitative labor or sexual exploitation. The final report was ultimately presented by PHR to the House International Relations Committee and became an essential component of the U.S. State Department’s position on Burma. When asked why he does this work, Guerry says: “The simple answer is that I believe in the values of the project. Beyond that I can only say that from my years on the border, I have seen human nature at its worst, most exploitative and violent. Those who had the strength to offer their stories shared a belief that change was dependent on their collective voice reaching beyond the chaos of their immediate lives. It is difficult to measure the impact of such a report, but given the absolute control of information by the ruling military junta, there is an inherent value in the reporting process itself, one of resistance.” It was in Guerry’s senior year at FVS that his interest in international medicine was awakened. “I can easily say that FVS provided the ideal environment for developing an early vision of this career,” he says.

Dr. Jonathan ormes ’57 has turned his attention to educat-ing others on how the growing

population and affluence have contributed to global warming and environmental damage. “Now that I no longer work for NASA,” he says, “I wanted to do something more relevant during my retirement years. I describe the science we did as ‘building the cathedrals of the 20th century.’ These are big uplifting ideas and instruments that produce beautiful images and new scientific knowledge that may someday impact people. But sometimes I wondered what good it did to improve life on Earth.” Ormes has developed a presen-tation, “Population, Affluence and Global Warming,” which he delivers to seminars and groups. “I try to raise ethical and moral issues,” Ormes says. “I take a global perspective and a long term perspective and try to be objective and balanced.” He says his time at FVS was “wonderful,” adding, “It taught me how to grapple with a complex problem involving not only scientific methods, data and facts, but also human behavior, commu-nication skills and leadership.”

El Pomar Foundation in Colorado Springs has been improving the quality of life for the citizens

of Colorado since it was formed by Spencer and Julie Penrose in 1937, and the Tutt family has been part of El Pomar from the beginning. r. thayer tutt Jr. ’73 is currently president and chief investment officer of the foundation, responsible for the management of a $570 million endowment. In 2008, El Pomar will grant more than $24 million to Colorado nonprofit organizations. Tutt says, “My father instilled in me the importance of protecting and promoting the legacy of Spencer and Julie Penrose—to improve the quality of life for the citizens of Colorado. I cannot forget that I actually enjoy the competitive aspect of managing money, too!”

A “human capital” plan is also included providing jobs, community build-ing initiatives and family self-sufficiency pro-grams. “I enjoy the challenge of the turn-around process,” he says, “and helping residents to turn their lives around is rewarding.

lain leoniak ’91 (formerly Angie Strawn) is a water referee protecting rivers on

behalf of the state of Colorado, as well as a district court magistrate in Glenwood Springs, Colo. “I feel fortunate that I found a way to use my law degree, attorney license and my love for Colorado for the great-er good,” she says. Leoniak reflects on her Fountain Valley experience saying, “FVS provided me with the structure I needed to remain focused on achieving my goals. The School fostered my commitment to public service, and provided me with countless oppor-tunities to learn about the environment, culture and legacy of Colorado and the West.”

This year’s Distinguished Casa

Serena Society Member is

tony combs ’58. The award is the School’s highest honor created to

recognize leadership giving. Headmaster Craig W. Larimer Jr. ’69

presented Combs with the award during the Casa Serena Society

reception at Reunion 2008.

Combs has been a Casa Serena Society member for 19 years and has

been a generous and loyal FVS donor for three decades. He enjoyed

his three years at Fountain Valley, entering FVS from Graland School

in Denver. His application noted that he was 5 feet, six inches tall and

weighed 115 lbs, but he still played football and hockey. The year-

book quipped that he was president of “The Rush to Breakfast Club”

and that he was a strong advocate of coeducation.

While at FVS, he was known for his knowledge of airplanes, and he used

that knowledge following graduation at Parks College of Aeronautical

Technology. Coincidentally, his land development company owned

the property upon which Denver International Airport was built.

Combs’ commitment to the School as a graduate shows dedication

and enthusiasm. He served as a trustee for two terms (1988-1995

and 1996-2002) and was a class agent for 10 years. In the 1980s he

held an annual “Icebreaker” picnic in Denver each August to welcome

new Denver students and their families to the School. He also hosted

regular alumni gatherings of the FVS Denver lunch club.

Fr e d e r i c k H . vo n Sta d e ’ 4 2 M u s i c E n d ow m e n t

When four daughters were looking for the perfect gift

for their father, guess what they came up with? A named

endowment at Fountain Valley School.

In celebration of his 85th birthday, Frederick H. von

Stade ’42’s daughters, Melissa von Stade, Dudley Mason,

Caroline von Stade and Frances Downing, created The Frederick

H. von Stade Music Endowment.

Frederick H. von Stade had shared with his

family that his years at FVS were the most

influential of his life. He was from Westbury,

N.Y., and it was noted in his yearbook that

he came to the West “with a hockey stick

to fight off the wild desert Indians of Colorado.”

At Fountain Valley he left his mark as the

captain of the hockey team. However, it was noted that he

was “a musical fellow,” too, and a quote from the yearbook

reads, “Fred played the piano for the enjoyment of everyone

practically every evening after dinner, and he was the secretary

of the Glee Club, directed by Mr. Ernest Kitson.”

It is a fitting coincidence that Mr. von Stade’s initials are

the same as those of his alma mater. When his family

presented him with his gift, they all donned FVS caps.

The intent of The Frederick H. von Stade ’42 Music Endow-

ment is to support the music program at Fountain Valley.

Annually, the director of music, along with the headmaster,

will determine how the endowment funding will be allocated.

Our community endeavors to foster a lifelong love of challenge and learning in an environment of diversity and mutual respect, and to prepare adolescents to become individuals who are open-minded, curious, courageous, self-reliant and compassionate.

our values

Francis Froelicher, the School’s founding headmaster, believed that Fountain Valley School should prepare students “to write their own history.” To empower them to do so, the School seeks to nurture all students in their pursuit of excellence and strives to develop in all students the following core values:

¯ open-mindedness To be aware of the richness and depth of all human experience.

¯ Courage To embrace challenge intellectually, physically, emotionally and spiritually as a pathway to insight and self-understanding; to stretch and see beyond one’s perceived boundaries.

¯ self-reliance To be responsible; to exhibit initiative and accountability, working independently and collaboratively.

¯ Compassion To demonstrate care and service to others, and to live a balanced and healthy life, enjoying the harmony of work and play.
