2 “We know our boys are thriving when they feel comfortable enough to step out of their normal roles and branch into new venues...” TRINITY-PAWLING SCHOOL LETTER FROM THE HEADMASTER The economists suggest that we are in a “V” shaped recession or alternately a “W” shaped recession, or is it an “L” or perhaps something new. A small school on a hill in rural New York will have little infl uence on the technical terms of the “Great Recession.” But, perhaps there is something that we can learn from the fi nancial world during these days of worry and concern. First, it is clear that the organizations which do well in diffi cult times are those which have not strayed from their mission. Trinity-Pawling has for over 100 years educated boys in a tried and true way: we guide them, hold them accountable, and give praise where it is due. We teach boys to think clearly, to respect one another, and to take risks as they try new adventures. What makes Trinity-Pawling different from other schools is our formula of telling the boys what we want, showing them how to do it, and checking up on them to see if they have accomplished the task properly. Boys thrive with constant and reasonable feedback. Second, a successful organization must be better than the competition, not just even. With the continuing threats to the fi nancing of public education, we cannot just assume that we will survive. We must thrive by adding value for the tuition paid. A boy needs to have the opportunity to grow as a student, athlete, and person. Thanks to the generosity of a parent of a graduate of the Class of 2008, we have initiated the fi rst year of teaching Mandarin. Our commitment to character supercedes all else that we undertake. While we want to graduate young men who are challenged by our 19 different Advanced Placement courses, we must graduate young men who have developed strong character for they will be the leaders of the next generation. We know our boys are thriving when they feel comfortable enough to step out of their normal roles and branch into new venues: the hockey stand-out who decides to become involved in the yearbook, or the newspaper editor who morphs himself into a long distance runner, or the shy boy who fi nds his spot on the stage in front of a large audience. We help them strengthen their character when we teach them to step up to fi ll new roles. Third, we must learn to do “more with less.” In good times, it is easy to throw money at a problem. I am proud of the faculty and staff at Trinity-Pawling who toil endlessly for the students of today and for the institution of tomorrow. As Headmaster, I cannot just enjoy the success of 2009 for I must also plan for the success of 2020 and beyond. For the past 18 months, a group of faculty and trustees has worked hard developing a strategic plan for the next ten years. This coming January, the Trustees will adopt this plan which will confi rm those areas where we excel and challenge us to improve in others. All of this is quite promising. As always, I am grateful for the generous gifts from so many who believe in all that Trinity-Pawling has to offer. Your generosity helps us fi ght stagnation and strive for vibrancy. I appreciate your support during this past year and hope that we can count on you in the years to come. Sincerely, Archibald A. Smith III
