Here for good.<br />

For more than twenty years the MAA<br />

has served as a valuable link between<br />

generous alumni and friends and the next<br />

generation of <strong>Marlington</strong> graduates. More<br />

than donors or philanthropists, the growing<br />

pool of individuals who annually support<br />

the MAA are making purposeful and critical<br />

investments in the future. We are grateful for<br />

your continued support and strive to make<br />

you proud of your school, the honorees we<br />

select and the work of the MAA.<br />

Since our first $500 awards in 1989 to the<br />

twenty awards totaling $45,000 in 2012, the<br />

<strong>Marlington</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>Association</strong> strives to<br />

make a difference. Just like the <strong>Marlington</strong><br />

School district, we’ve grown and changed.<br />

But we remain, as always, here for good. For<br />

good of the next generations, for good of<br />

you, our donors, and for good of the global<br />

community we now inhabit, we’re here.<br />

Donors are the heart of the MAA. Our goal<br />

is to help you tailor your giving to match your<br />

philanthropic dreams and to make donating<br />

as easy as possible. I invite you to become<br />

a patron at the level most appropriate for<br />

you and your family, and make your taxdeductible<br />

gift of $25, $50, $500, $1,000 or<br />

more using the enclosed envelope or online<br />

at www.marlingtonalumni.org. We’re here<br />

for good.<br />

In Memorium<br />

By Marsha (Rinehart) Graham (’70)<br />

The <strong>Marlington</strong> community lost a valued member<br />

May 3, 2012 when Thomas William Hazen went<br />

to his Heavenly home.<br />

Many remember Mr. Hazen as a principal or<br />

guidance counselor. Others saw him in the<br />

neighborhood, at church or at community<br />

functions. No matter where, Tom Hazen was<br />

most recognized by his graciousness and his<br />

friendly smile.<br />

Tom took genuine interest in other’s lives. He<br />

loved to hear updates and accomplishments and<br />

often remembered details and connections others<br />

forgot. He so enjoyed keeping up with alumni that<br />

for some years he contacted former students,<br />

charted their post-graduation accomplishments<br />

and kept up-to-date statistics. Always with an<br />

interest in improving the school, he shared the<br />

data with MHS staff and made suggestions for<br />

ways to improve MHS curriculum to better serve<br />

the students!<br />

While Tom made an impact at <strong>Marlington</strong>, his life<br />

was full of achievements!<br />

Did you know he:<br />

• was born Feb. 4, 1917 and lived for<br />

95 years<br />

• Graduated from Alliance High School<br />

• Graduated from Mount Union College<br />

• was a First Lieutenant in the United<br />

States Army<br />

• was awarded the Bronze Star<br />

• was in the Medical Detachment – Infantry<br />

• was married to Helen (Pauli) Hazen for<br />

65 years<br />

• taught at Osnaburg Local HS and<br />

Marlboro HS<br />

• earned his Master’s Degree at Kent<br />

State University<br />

• was <strong>Marlington</strong> High School’s first Principal<br />

and served for15 years<br />

• was MHS’s First Vocational Counselor<br />

• retired in 1984<br />

• was a published author<br />

Though these few facts may highlight some<br />

of Mr. Hazen’s life, they can never reveal his<br />

best trait- he was a true, honorable and wise<br />

gentleman. Mr. Hazen always listened and<br />

processed before speaking. He was tactful,<br />

caring and compassionate. He loved his family<br />

and cherished his years at <strong>Marlington</strong>. May<br />

he always be remembered both in and out<br />

of the halls of <strong>Marlington</strong> High for he will be<br />

sorely missed.<br />

Committee, PO Box 6001, Alliance, OH 44601.<br />

Jeff Pucci (’82)<br />

I give to the MAA because of my great<br />

experience at <strong>Marlington</strong>. Donating to<br />

the <strong>Alumni</strong> <strong>Association</strong> is something<br />

I want to do because of the positive<br />

experience I had- and I still bleed<br />

orange and black! Go Dukes.<br />

Ray Sluss (’44)<br />

I spent my entire career in the<br />

field of education- as a teacher,<br />

a principal and for many years in<br />

the academic textbook industry. I<br />

believe in the value of education<br />

and had opportunities because of<br />

the generosity of others. It is my<br />

privilege to give back and encourage<br />

another generation.<br />

Annabelle (Bloss) Fearon (’54)<br />

I donate to the MAA because I am<br />

proud of our school system. I know<br />

the funds are managed well and time<br />

and effort are put into choosing the<br />

recipients. We need to show our<br />

thanks for the education we received.<br />

Kevin Pucci (’78)<br />

I give to the <strong>Marlington</strong> <strong>Alumni</strong><br />

<strong>Association</strong> because it is important<br />

that I support the school that provided<br />

me the foundation of where I am<br />

today. I had a great experience being a<br />

<strong>Marlington</strong> Duke and I want to support<br />

providing the same quality education as<br />

I was given.<br />

Nancy Schwan<br />

(Retired MHS teacher)<br />

I have gladly supported MAA through<br />

the years, as <strong>Marlington</strong> – and all the<br />

wonderful people it is composed of –<br />

has supported me throughout the years.<br />

<strong>Marlington</strong> is near and dear to my heart.<br />

I did my student teaching there in the<br />

spring of 1964, then accepted a position<br />

there in the fall -- and never left until I<br />

retired thirty years later. It is a beautiful<br />

and treasured part of my life.

Why<br />

Debbie Fox ( ‘87)<br />

I give because the MAA is a great organization that promotes pride in<br />

our schools and community. I appreciate getting the newsletter with<br />

updates on events and classmates. The scholarships given to senior<br />

students as they begin their post-high school career not only help them<br />

succeed in their chosen career but affirm them as worthy individuals.<br />
