Winter 2013 - Baldwin School

FLYING HIGH
Vicky Gold, Baldwin’s longtime ceramics
teacher, is exhibiting her signature clay
pigeons at the Philadelphia International
Airport. The display case, filled with her
birds pecking at the ground, conversing,
looking quizzically at the viewer, or about
to take flight, is located in Terminal D.
This high-profile exhibition will be on
view until April.
BUDDING ARTISTS
Maria Berger’s Grade IV class used tempered paint to create sunflowers as a part of
the girls’ study of plants. The students wrote a complementing creative piece in
which they took on the “persona” of a sunflower.
THE “WRIGHT” WORDS
Emily Clark ’14 earned second place in
the Philadelphia Young Playwrights
competition for her play, The Three Sisters.
Winners were selected from 850 play
submissions at over 50 public and private
schools in the Philadelphia area. The
Three Sisters describes the relationship
between sisters who represent the three
fates in Greek mythology: Birth, Life and
Death. Each woman struggles to adapt to
the realistic world on Earth: Lela chases
love, Cyra keeps the peace, and Ara
attempts to control her loneliness and
power. The play develops into a battle of
passion as each woman learns the extent
of her “humanity.”
MUSIC TO OUR EARS
The sweet sound of Baldwin’s Firenze group was the backdrop for the Philadelphia
Business Journal’s 30 Women of Distinction event in November. The holidays
were also made merrier by the Baldwin B-Flats, who caroled in Manayunk and
participated in a “sing-off” with the Haverford Notables under the Christmas
tree during Bryn Mawr’s First Friday event.
