What Lasts In EducationWilliam H. AmosHoward E. C Schmolze (191M987)Senior Master, Registrar, College Counselor,Mathematics Teacher (1931-1975)We who have taught specific subjects, such asModern European History or Biology or Spanish,hope the experience will last a lifetime for everystudent who passes through our courses. Unfortunately,long-range retention of course materialoften is m<strong>in</strong>imal. We are realistic enough toknow not everyone will become a l<strong>in</strong>guist orscientist or historian, but the hope is that a few,just a few, will take up such professions. Andsome do, to our <strong>in</strong>tense pleasure, but often weforget what else of a more last<strong>in</strong>g importancegoes on <strong>in</strong> a classroom.Howard Schmolze was a supreme example ofa man who transcended the subject matter hetaught. Those who went through his ElementaryAlgebra course—and almost every student whoever attended St. <strong>Andrew's</strong> did—struggled andfretted with what they thought at the time wasan <strong>in</strong>sistence upon picayune form and detail. Asone alumnus wrote, "We were sure he wantedthe format to be uniform so it would be easierfor him to correct papers." But this same alumnusand many more who have written about outstand<strong>in</strong>gfaculty (Howard Schmolze is always<strong>in</strong>cluded) later reached a far different conclusion,best expressed by another graduate who is todayem<strong>in</strong>ent <strong>in</strong> a profession far removed from mathematics.A former Senior Prefect, now a professorof English, wrote, ". . .Mr. Schmolze. . .taught me how to th<strong>in</strong>k, even though preciouslittle of my th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g has ever been <strong>in</strong> the mathematicall<strong>in</strong>e."Respectful fun used to be made of Howard'seccentricities, of his amus<strong>in</strong>g expressions andmetaphors, of the candy sourball rewards hetossed to those who tried hard or who solved adifficult problem, of the dollar bills he folded<strong>in</strong>to bow ties for those who achieved an 800 onthe College Boards. His humor was un<strong>in</strong>hibitedand often used to emphasize a po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> class,perhaps <strong>in</strong> ditties he composed on the spot, afew of which were sung for weeks afterwardson the corridors.The sourball tradition was so powerfully <strong>in</strong>gra<strong>in</strong>edas an <strong>in</strong>centive device, one Christmas <strong>in</strong>the early 1960's a boy gave Howard a handsomeapothecary jar with a brass top, filled with sourballs.It rema<strong>in</strong>ed a fixture on his desk—its contentscont<strong>in</strong>ually replenished—until the dayHoward retired <strong>in</strong> 1975.In all Howard's mathematics courses, studentswere obliged to analyze every problem, rewrit<strong>in</strong>git <strong>in</strong> their own words as a demonstration ofclear understand<strong>in</strong>g, then follow a precise andappropriate pattern <strong>in</strong> solv<strong>in</strong>g the problem. Gett<strong>in</strong>git right was always a triumph but not thema<strong>in</strong> objective <strong>in</strong> this wise man's method.Alumni say repeatedly that when professionalquestions arise today, they are approached <strong>in</strong>the discipl<strong>in</strong>ed fashion Howard taught, an analyticalmethod <strong>in</strong> logic that has allowed them togo far <strong>in</strong> their respective fields.An alumnus from the early 1960's, an <strong>in</strong>ternationalf<strong>in</strong>ancial consultant, wrote, "Mr.Schmolze taught me a lesson I never forgot. InVth Form Advanced Math, to my delight andsurprise, I aced all the word problems, checkedall the answers and handed <strong>in</strong> my paper 10 m<strong>in</strong>utesearly, so as to be able to beat it over tofootball practice and have my knee taped. Everyoneelse was still beaver<strong>in</strong>g away when he pickedup my paper, read it over, and announced tothe class, 'S forgot to list all the GI (GivenInformation), thereby los<strong>in</strong>g 12 po<strong>in</strong>ts. Everyoneremember to list all the GI!' I was engaged<strong>in</strong> a competitive world and knew that I waslucky to have gotten all the answers right onthis one, look<strong>in</strong>g ahead to averages and such.To this day, I list all the GI <strong>in</strong> try<strong>in</strong>g to solvealgebraic problems. He did me a great service."I remember a teacher once claim<strong>in</strong>g that only<strong>in</strong> mathematics does one f<strong>in</strong>d "perfection,"someth<strong>in</strong>g none of us chose to challenge s<strong>in</strong>cethe concept resides only <strong>in</strong> the m<strong>in</strong>d of one whobelieves it exists. Howard made no such pretense.He recognized human foibles well, andwhittled away at reduc<strong>in</strong>g sloppy and unchan-


neled th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g. Whether or not mathematicsreigned supreme <strong>in</strong> his personal world is oflittle consequence. Students who flourished athigher levels of mathematics at St. <strong>Andrew's</strong> orcollege did so, <strong>in</strong> large measure, not only becausethey had learned from him the essentialunderp<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>gs, but someth<strong>in</strong>g far more valuable:how to th<strong>in</strong>k analytically at an early age, howto express themselves with precision, how topursue clearly def<strong>in</strong>ed goals, traits each developed<strong>in</strong> his own fashion after coach<strong>in</strong>g by a demand<strong>in</strong>gand k<strong>in</strong>dly taskmaster. What countedto a present-day geologist "was the discipl<strong>in</strong>ethat stuck with you."Howard had his sights set on greater th<strong>in</strong>gsthan algebra for his students. Not once, to myknowledge, did he badger them to proceed <strong>in</strong>mathematics beyond either their ability or their<strong>in</strong>cl<strong>in</strong>ation. If they wanted to elect a MusicMajor <strong>in</strong>stead, that was f<strong>in</strong>e with him and herejoiced both <strong>in</strong> their <strong>in</strong>terest and their success.Pass<strong>in</strong>g students <strong>in</strong> the halls, <strong>in</strong>variably hewould offer pleasant comments on their activities,or congratulate them on an artistic or athleticachievement.For those who have been gone from St.<strong>Andrew's</strong> many years, school days are rememberedwith Howard's familiar voice still echo<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong> the halls. His weekly Stamp Club meet<strong>in</strong>gsattracted as many spectators as members. Mostof us recall Howard's familiar prologue to someSt. <strong>Andrew's</strong> anecdote, perhaps about the legendaryBob Banquo, "Hen, heh, heh, here's aquickie for you. .." then go on to tell a wonderfulstory <strong>in</strong> colorful detail.Howard and Kitty retired after the first yearof coeducation, but at least a few girls knewhim as a teacher. Last year Howard told meabout an underform girl Director of AdmissionsBill Cameron was reluctant to accept on thebasis of her mathematical aptitude scores.Howard worked hard to persuade him to admither, and she turned out to be the s<strong>in</strong>gle mostreward<strong>in</strong>g student, boy or girl, he had <strong>in</strong> all hisyears of teach<strong>in</strong>g. He taught her math dur<strong>in</strong>gtutorials throughout the year, but more than thathe showed her how to be a student—and a successfulone. Today she is the manager of a plann<strong>in</strong>gand analysis group, <strong>in</strong> no small measurethe product of Howard's keen <strong>in</strong>tuitive sense ofan <strong>in</strong>dividual's potential.The girl's success is only one example thatemerges from the thousands of hours of special,often <strong>in</strong>dividual, attention Howard gave his students.His generosity and devotion to youngpeople were apparent throughout the <strong>School</strong>.Former Chapla<strong>in</strong> David Leech's last<strong>in</strong>g perceptionof the Schmolzes after almost thirty yearshits the mark, "Howard Schmolze and his wife,Kitty—those good people—Lord, they weregood people who gave so much."As College Counselor, Howard <strong>in</strong>spectedvarious universities and colleges, although fewmeasured up to his own beloved Tr<strong>in</strong>ity College.He was fair <strong>in</strong> his advice and assessments.More* than a few appreciative alumni rememberthe encouragement, as well as the help, heoffered at this difficult and <strong>in</strong>decisive time <strong>in</strong>their lives. They recognize the wisdom he displayed<strong>in</strong> steer<strong>in</strong>g them toward their eventualdest<strong>in</strong>ations. Pretensions played no role <strong>in</strong> hisadvice. The "right" college was what was rightfor the <strong>in</strong>dividual."Howard Schmolze was asupreme example of a manwho transcended the subjectmatter he taught... Hehad a profound and last<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>fluence upon two thousandlives—students, faculty andstaff."Howard's professional colleagues have endlessaffectionate and admir<strong>in</strong>g memories of him andof Kitty who was his alter ego <strong>in</strong> the Registrar'sOffice. Those of us who had to get grades andreports <strong>in</strong> on time, who fought over "Reg-Off"desk space as we entered comments and numberson those long-vanished, one-of-a-k<strong>in</strong>d mastergrade sheets that allowed no error, will neverforget his attention to detail and eagle eye whenspott<strong>in</strong>g omissions or <strong>in</strong>consistencies. His rem<strong>in</strong>dersof our blunders were gentle and to thepo<strong>in</strong>t. As a spur to get th<strong>in</strong>gs done on time, I havekept a typical personally-directed Schmolzoniannote, complete with draw<strong>in</strong>g, posted above mydesk for over twenty-five years.Young faculty new to the teach<strong>in</strong>g trade seldomneeded such prodd<strong>in</strong>g, for he was a consideratementor of their early efforts. Butteachers were not his only collegial beneficiaries.His friends among the staff knew they had achampion <strong>in</strong> Howard Schmolze. When questionsneed<strong>in</strong>g a clear perspective arose, he was theone they sought for impartial advice.Constancy, dependability, an extraord<strong>in</strong>arymemory and, above all, loyalty were <strong>in</strong>tegralparts of Howard's makeup. Bob Moss recentlysaid, recall<strong>in</strong>g his eighteen years of close associationwith the Schmolzes, "Howard and Kitty—the Team. Together they knew more about <strong>SAS</strong>cont<strong>in</strong>ued on page 10Bill Amos, Retired Senior Master and former Chairmanof the Science Department, is liv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Vermontwhere for the last two years he has been at work ona cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g history of St. <strong>Andrew's</strong> <strong>School</strong>.

Don and MaryDunn Retire40 Years of DedicatedServicePeople are far more complex than those whowrite about them can ever reveal. In our searchfor "essence," we oversimplify. No one ismore guilty of this tendency than I, especiallywhen I write about people who are retir<strong>in</strong>g fromSt. <strong>Andrew's</strong>, as Don and Mary Dunn arepeopleabout whom I care a great deal. So, <strong>in</strong>advance, I apologize to Don and Mary for fail<strong>in</strong>gto come close to captur<strong>in</strong>g the nuanceswhich make them such <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g and unique<strong>in</strong>dividuals. I hope I have captured the essenceof their generous contributions to our lives.Don and Mary Dunn are a team. It is hard toth<strong>in</strong>k of one without the other popp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to ourvision. How wonderful it is to f<strong>in</strong>d people whohave been married as long as they (a miracle <strong>in</strong>itself today!) who also so obviously love, likeand respect one another. We see it every day asthey <strong>in</strong>teract, support<strong>in</strong>g one another. The exampleof their marriage is one of their greatestgifts to us.We live <strong>in</strong> a rather permissive time. <strong>School</strong>sare considerably more relaxed than they were20 years ago. On balance, I th<strong>in</strong>k the changeshave been for the better. On the other hand,there have been some losses as the tide ofreliability, punctuality, dependability, responsibility,etc., began to recede <strong>in</strong> the mid '60s.Fortunately, Don and Mary have been here torem<strong>in</strong>d us of certa<strong>in</strong> "standards" which we toooften neglect today.I wonder how many St. Andreans know thatMary Dunn volunteers to do more for the'<strong>School</strong> community than any other person. Withno fuss and no expectation of recognition, it isMary who gets th<strong>in</strong>gs done—whether plac<strong>in</strong>gflowers on the Chapel altar or mak<strong>in</strong>g sure astudent from a southern clime has a warmjacket to wear dur<strong>in</strong>g cold weather. Joanie callsher "Mom." That's not a bad name for thiswoman who cares and does so very much forall St. Andreans.For a huge, burly guy who rem<strong>in</strong>ds one of across between Paul Bunyon and Chief Sitt<strong>in</strong>gBull, Don is a notorious soft touch. Dur<strong>in</strong>g theearly years of coeducation, his advisees werealmost always girls. I questioned one of them asto why this was so. She smiled the most wickedsmile I have ever seen and confided <strong>in</strong> me thatany girl at St. <strong>Andrew's</strong> could get Mr. Dunn tobelieve almost anyth<strong>in</strong>g good about her. As aresult, if she had to appear before the Discipl<strong>in</strong>eCommittee, she was sure to have a very strongadvocate for her cause. This anecdote, whileobviously written with my tongue pressed hardto my cheek, is <strong>in</strong>tended to illustrate a coupleof Don's f<strong>in</strong>est attributes. He has believed <strong>in</strong>his students and has always been ready to go tobat for them. The number of students he hasnursed through geometry with extra help sessionsis legion.We will miss Don and Mary Dunn. Theyhave been much more than a math teacher andthe librarian, though they have performed theseand their many other responsibilities well. Theyhave held up important standards for all of usto see at times when we have been tempted tomake "expedient" decisions. They have devotedtheir powerful, passionate personalities to this<strong>School</strong> and the ideals which they feel are theessence of education. They have been and stillare unique—so different from the carbon copyyuppies which proliferate these days. We won'tforget them.Don and Mary will be mov<strong>in</strong>g to Rock Hall,Maryland, where they have owned a home formany years. We wish them well. We thankthem for all they have given us—far more thanthis <strong>School</strong> and all those they touched can everrepay—and we offer them all our love to sailwith on their beloved Chesapeake Bay.

Life on the Delaware River With Dock<strong>in</strong>g PilotHickman Rowland '58—John LyonsKnock, knock, knock."John, are you up yet?"Yeah, just a second and I'll be right withyou, Carol. I won't survive this adventure withouta cup of coffee."It was <strong>in</strong>credibly early <strong>in</strong> the morn<strong>in</strong>g... orwas it late <strong>in</strong> the even<strong>in</strong>g? Doesn't much matternow anyway. My eyeballs felt like lead, myhair stood straight up and the pillow creasesmapped out a slalom course on my right cheek.It was 3:30 a.m. It was an odd hour to be upand about. It was odder still to be float<strong>in</strong>g justbelow the Delaware Memorial Bridge <strong>in</strong> a tugboat,coffee clenched <strong>in</strong> fist like some precious,irreplaceable possession.Four-thirty <strong>in</strong> the morn<strong>in</strong>g offers a strangeand <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g perspective on the world. Inf<strong>in</strong>est Walter Mitty fashion, I envisioned myselfas easy prey for Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto onthe bridge of his flagship ready to do battle <strong>in</strong>the Coral Sea <strong>in</strong> the spr<strong>in</strong>g of 1942.As the sun rose <strong>in</strong> the east over what waslater revealed to be southern New Jersey andnot the New Gu<strong>in</strong>ea coast, the haze between myears cleared and I realized I was not board<strong>in</strong>gthe bridge of a great Japanese warship but thebridge of a Japanese freighter. It was stuffed tothe gills not with war material either but CostaRican bananas, of all th<strong>in</strong>gs. The date was notspr<strong>in</strong>g, 1942, but April 1987. In command was<strong>in</strong>deed a Japanese seaman. More significantly,however, was the fact that St. <strong>Andrew's</strong>alumnus and trustee, Hickman "Hick" Rowland'58 was br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g the 490-foot vessel <strong>in</strong>to thePort of Wilm<strong>in</strong>gton.It is an awesome sight <strong>in</strong> the predawn light tosee an enormous tanker or freighter plow<strong>in</strong>g upthe Delaware River, headed for port. It is asight that members of the Rowland family havebeen witness<strong>in</strong>g off and on s<strong>in</strong>ce 1776. HickRowland is a dock<strong>in</strong>g pilot; and his company,Wilm<strong>in</strong>gton Tug and Launch Co., provides shipsfrom all over the world with a safe end to theirjourneys. His job each and every day (and night)is to safely, swiftly and skillfully maneuverenormous ships—up to 1,000 feet <strong>in</strong> length—<strong>in</strong>to


port. The capta<strong>in</strong> of the ship will meet one ofthe Rowland family tugboats <strong>in</strong> the River, andHick scrambles aboard by rope ladder. Once onthe bridge, he assumes complete command of thevessel, eas<strong>in</strong>g it <strong>in</strong>to port with a skill that is asmuch a result of family breed<strong>in</strong>g as it is learned.Hick's life wasn't always this way. After St.<strong>Andrew's</strong>, he graduated with a B.S. from theUniversity of Pennsylvania <strong>in</strong> 1962. As it happened,upon graduation, he was lured to NewYork, where he began a successful career as an<strong>in</strong>vestment banker/stockbroker. Ultimately, however,he became disillusioned with the world ofhigh f<strong>in</strong>ance and the environs of New YorkCity. He sold everyth<strong>in</strong>g he had, collected himselfand set sail for Australia to see a bit of theworld down under. It was there that he realizedhis call<strong>in</strong>g might just be outdoors... on thewater. The opportunity lay <strong>in</strong> wait for him onthe Delaware River.Interest<strong>in</strong>gly enough, Hick Rowland is not theonly pilot to have attended St. <strong>Andrew's</strong>. Otherriver pilots <strong>in</strong> the alumni body <strong>in</strong>clude Jud Bennett'62, Dick Buckaloo '63, John Hukill '50,George Maclntire '55 and Tom Rob<strong>in</strong>son '51.For the past n<strong>in</strong>e years, Hick has been dock<strong>in</strong>gships and pilot<strong>in</strong>g barges <strong>in</strong> the Port of Wilm<strong>in</strong>gton,Delaware. When Alumni Bullet<strong>in</strong> EditorCarol Stegeman and I caught up with him onthat very early morn<strong>in</strong>g, he led two ships <strong>in</strong>toport. We struggled up rope ladders from therelative security of our tugboat to the exotic<strong>in</strong>terior of an <strong>in</strong>ternational freighter—two landlubberstotally out of their element. It might aswell have been the surface of the moon. I mustcongratulate Carol on her nimbleness of foot asshe boarded, via a 20 foot wiggly rope ladder,the Nosac Tahara. The vessel was noth<strong>in</strong>g morethan a 625-foot float<strong>in</strong>g park<strong>in</strong>g garage of Indianregistry. The ship was <strong>in</strong> Wilm<strong>in</strong>gton to load itsten levels with 5,000 American luxury cars—mostof them Cadillacs—where they would then bebound for the Persian Gulf stopp<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> ports suchas Kuwait, Oman, Bahra<strong>in</strong> and Saudi Arabia.Once <strong>in</strong> the narrow conf<strong>in</strong>es of the port, Hickhad to not only dock the ship but completelyturn it around so the stern would be fac<strong>in</strong>g upthe river. The ship's starboard side had to beadjacent to the load<strong>in</strong>g area <strong>in</strong> order to extendits 40-ton ramp to the dock. He did the dock<strong>in</strong>gprocedure entirely by sight and feel. Imag<strong>in</strong>e a625-foot ship completely turn<strong>in</strong>g around <strong>in</strong> acanal about 650 feet wide. It is this type ofmaneuver that gives the neophyte dock<strong>in</strong>gobserver a keen firsthand understand<strong>in</strong>g ofHick's skill as a dock<strong>in</strong>g pilot. In addition tosw<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>g the ship around, he also has to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>a calm demeanor so as not to upset theIndian capta<strong>in</strong> who is scrut<strong>in</strong>iz<strong>in</strong>g his everymove. The trick is to reassure the capta<strong>in</strong>, keepthe ship from runn<strong>in</strong>g aground and to stick to atight schedule that will have all arriv<strong>in</strong>g shipsdocked by 8:00 a.m., s<strong>in</strong>ce dozens of wait<strong>in</strong>glongshoremen get paid $18 per hour regardlessof whether a ship is on time or not. Hick com-pletes his appo<strong>in</strong>ted task while never allow<strong>in</strong>g asmile to slip from his face.Dock<strong>in</strong>g the Izumo Reefer—a 490-foot Japanesebanana freighter—after struggl<strong>in</strong>g with the float-Otfter river pilots <strong>in</strong> the alumnibody <strong>in</strong>clude ]ud Bennett '62,Dick Buckaloo '63, ]of<strong>in</strong> Hukill'50, George Maclntire '55 andTom Rob<strong>in</strong>son '51.<strong>in</strong>g Indian park<strong>in</strong>g garage was, <strong>in</strong> Hick's words,"Like parallel park<strong>in</strong>g a Volkswagon." After thesuccessful maneuver, the capta<strong>in</strong> bowed his thanks,gave us tea and watched as his bananas wereunloaded, cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g their long journey to thetop of your cornflakes. It was like a scene from"On the Waterfront." The time was 7:59 a.m.A week later, while shopp<strong>in</strong>g at the Read<strong>in</strong>gTerm<strong>in</strong>al Market <strong>in</strong> Philadelphia, I got a kickout of the fact that the bananas on display werefrom Costa Rica. Their journey to the top ofmy cornflakes was almost complete.

Seventeen-year-old Youa Vang is a proud and responsiblenew father. His wife is even younger. In Hmong culture,young marriage is the norm, as there is no reason to delayadult responsibilities, and every reason to start a family assoon as you are able to. This custom makes it hard forHmong teenagers <strong>in</strong> the U. S. to f<strong>in</strong>ish high school if theypreserve this particular aspect of their culture. It also canproduce conflict between generations. In some cases, theyounger generation wants to delay marriage as long as possibleand the parents put pressure on them to keep to theold ways. While <strong>in</strong> other cases, it is the parents who wanttheir children to benefit from the educational opportunities<strong>in</strong> the new country and the children whp want a traditionallyyoung marriage.If other family members were unavailable to babysit, studentswere uneasy about entrust<strong>in</strong>g their children to the campchildcare center and frequently broke school rules by br<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>gtheir children and babies to class. Culturally <strong>in</strong> the habitof hav<strong>in</strong>g their children accompany them to their adult tasks,some parents resisted the Western idea of separat<strong>in</strong>g workfrom home life (<strong>in</strong> the form of a school rule requir<strong>in</strong>g childrenover six months old not to accompany their parents toclass). This rule had the dual purpose of enhanc<strong>in</strong>g classroomefficiency as well as <strong>in</strong>troduc<strong>in</strong>g students to Americanemployers' and teachers' workplace and classroom expectations.I was not always very good at play<strong>in</strong>g enforcer and,consequently, occasionally found myself compet<strong>in</strong>g with awaller for airtime!iHmong hilltribe woman do<strong>in</strong>g needlework.

Asian ChildrenAs Gillian had the opportunity totravel to other areas <strong>in</strong> Thailand,Tibet, Nepal and Ch<strong>in</strong>a, she capturedthe universal expressions ofchildhood.mClockwise: Lowland Nepaligirl with rice and pa<strong>in</strong>tdecorat<strong>in</strong>g her forehead fora H<strong>in</strong>du festival; Child fromUpper Pisan village <strong>in</strong>Nepal, a 7-day walk fromthe nearest road; Karenhilltribe people <strong>in</strong> NorthernThailand; (far left) ' 'Hang<strong>in</strong>'out" <strong>in</strong> Bangkok.After work<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> Thailand for a year, I traveledwith various friends <strong>in</strong> several Asian countries:Japan, Ch<strong>in</strong>a, Tibet and Nepal. The highlightof these travels was a 25-day 150-mile trekaround the Annapurna massif <strong>in</strong> Nepal. Myfriend and I slept <strong>in</strong> villages along the way andate local food, which kept our packs down toabout 35-40 pounds. We started trekk<strong>in</strong>g at atropical 1500 feet and eventually crossed theThorung Pass at a perma-w<strong>in</strong>ter altitude of17,771 feet.10Schmolze cont<strong>in</strong>ued from page 3than anyone I know. They were at the center ofall the action—and <strong>in</strong>teraction—dur<strong>in</strong>g my years.They developed the best "registrar's system" ofany school I have taught <strong>in</strong> or visited. The sheervolume of work they handled, and never mishandled,is <strong>in</strong>credible."As headmaster, Bob Moss relied heavily uponthe Schmolzes not only because they knew studentrecords by heart, but because, as Howardsaid last year, "The <strong>School</strong>'s stream of lifeflowed back and forth by our door." Busy asthey were, they were aware of every nuance, ofevery difficulty and success.Howard Schmolze was entirely unique. At thesame time, he was the k<strong>in</strong>d of person everyschool must have if it is to succeed. It is difficultto th<strong>in</strong>k of anyone who was more completelydevoted to the <strong>School</strong>, more knowledgeable,more even-handed <strong>in</strong> his approach to people andproblems. Howard was a gentle and courteousman. Above all, he was k<strong>in</strong>d. He also wascourageous and, if need be, stubborn whendefend<strong>in</strong>g what he knew to be right for the<strong>School</strong> and for the <strong>in</strong>dividual. Debates withHoward were one-sided; <strong>in</strong>variably he wascorrect.He had a profound and last<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>fluence upontwo thousand lives—student, faculty and staff.Such a permanent effect, <strong>in</strong> the classroom andout, upon so many who rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> his debt makesHoward Schmolze one of the great teachers <strong>in</strong>St. <strong>Andrew's</strong> history. The secret, to repeat thewords of an alumnus, is that "In his heart. . .heloved all of us." The love was returned. D


Form Projects Address Issues of Charity,Environmental Awareness & Human Rights—Tad Roach, Assistant to Headmaster for Student LifeOne of the more excit<strong>in</strong>g developments of the<strong>School</strong> year has been the creation and successof new student activities called Form Projects.Begun <strong>in</strong> September, these projects have encouragedSt. <strong>Andrew's</strong> students to become <strong>in</strong>volved<strong>in</strong> issues relat<strong>in</strong>g to the environment, povertyand human rights. The Form Projects are a partof student life that we hope will cont<strong>in</strong>ue todevelop over the next few years and become aSt. <strong>Andrew's</strong> tradition.The idea of ask<strong>in</strong>g each underform class toeducate itself and the community on crucialissues fac<strong>in</strong>g the world came about throughfaculty study of our Form representative system.We posed the question of how well our studentgovernment program helped us to pursue thefollow<strong>in</strong>g goals outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> the <strong>School</strong>'s statementof purpose.We expect our students to share responsibilityfor life <strong>in</strong> a community foundedon Christian ethical pr<strong>in</strong>ciples andbeliefs... We seek to provide our studentswith experiences that will fosterpersonal growth and lead to <strong>in</strong>creasedunderstand<strong>in</strong>g of and respect for themselves,their neighbors and the world.Without question, students elected to positionson the Honor, Discipl<strong>in</strong>e, Student Life, andSocial Activities Committees ga<strong>in</strong> valuable experiencesand enjoy considerable <strong>in</strong>fluence <strong>in</strong>lay areas of student life at St. <strong>Andrew's</strong>. Andthere are other organizations such as the Vestry,the Community Service Group, and the SADD(Students Aga<strong>in</strong>st Drunk Driv<strong>in</strong>g) group wherestudents work together and ga<strong>in</strong> valuable lessonsabout ''themselves, their neighbors and theworld." But for too many years, the function ofthe President, Vice-President, Secretary andTreasurer of each class has been limited to twoareas: student life concerns and fund rais<strong>in</strong>g foruse on class trips or other social occasions.What do student leaders learn from this experience?When we paused to ask this questionand thought of the energy and creativity of ourstudent body, we realized how narrow our perspectivehas been.We believe that student leaders should stand<strong>in</strong> the forefront of the <strong>School</strong>'s dedication to theservice of others. We asked this year's formofficer group to lead the <strong>School</strong> <strong>in</strong> the creationof Form Projects that would confront three fundamentalquestions assail<strong>in</strong>g us all <strong>in</strong> the 1980's.(The faculty did not ask the VI Form to undertakea project because of the heavy contributionsthey make to the life of the <strong>School</strong> <strong>in</strong> theirmany positions of responsibility.)The III Form has been work<strong>in</strong>g on issues onthe environment. They have begun a <strong>School</strong>widealum<strong>in</strong>um can and newspaper recycl<strong>in</strong>gprogram and have raised money for Save theChesapeake and for organizations protect<strong>in</strong>gworld wildlife. The IV Form has studied andworked on the problem of poverty by sponsor<strong>in</strong>gan African child and a child from the UnitedStates through the organization called Save theChildren. They have contributed to OXFAMAmerica and the Morris Youth Center <strong>in</strong> Wilm<strong>in</strong>gton(a facility which aids high schooldropouts). The IV Form also organized aThanksgiv<strong>in</strong>g canned goods drive supported bySt. <strong>Andrew's</strong> parents who visited the <strong>School</strong> onParents' Weekend.The V Form is concerned with the issue ofhuman rights. They have raised money forDelaware homeless people with the successfulTurkey Trot <strong>in</strong> November and sponsored a"Maui Wowie" to benefit the work of AmnestyInternational.It is hoped that these Form Projects will leadto the follow<strong>in</strong>g goals:• a <strong>School</strong> community alert to and educatedabout critical issues fac<strong>in</strong>g humanity;• a student body <strong>in</strong> the habit of actively serv<strong>in</strong>gothers <strong>in</strong> need;• a form representative system whose leadersare challenged to be sensitive to the concernsof those <strong>in</strong> need and creative <strong>in</strong> theways they go about educat<strong>in</strong>g and motivat<strong>in</strong>gthe community; and• graduates of St. <strong>Andrew's</strong> will cont<strong>in</strong>uetheir service work throughout their lives.The <strong>School</strong> community is pleased with theresults of the Form Projects and will look tocont<strong>in</strong>ue to improve them <strong>in</strong> com<strong>in</strong>g years.We welcome suggestions from the greater<strong>SAS</strong> community.

The next day we traveled via the picturesqueRomantic Road to Salzburg. We werefortunate to arrive dur<strong>in</strong>g the Mardi Gras festivities.Our tour took us to Oberammergau,famous for its passion play, woodcarv<strong>in</strong>g andhand-pa<strong>in</strong>ted houses.

PREP FOR PREP 9<strong>SAS</strong> Jo<strong>in</strong>s Six Other Eastern Board<strong>in</strong>g <strong>School</strong>s <strong>in</strong> a Program toRecruit Black and Hispanic Students Prom the New York City AreaSt. <strong>Andrew's</strong>, Choate Rosemary Hall, DeerfieldAcademy, The Hotchkiss <strong>School</strong>, The Lawrenceville<strong>School</strong>, Phillips Academy, Andover, andPhillips Exeter Academy have recently formedan alliance with Broad Jump Inc. of New YorkCity to form PREP FOR PREP 9—a project torecruit and ensure the success of New York Cityblack and Hispanic public school youngsters atthe participat<strong>in</strong>g schools.The seven board<strong>in</strong>g schools are provid<strong>in</strong>gmore than $4 million <strong>in</strong> scholarship support overfour years of high school to 100 students identifiedby Broad Jump and prepared <strong>in</strong> the rigorous14-month PREP 9 program. In addition, theschools are committed to rais<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>in</strong> consortium,$385,000 <strong>in</strong> operat<strong>in</strong>g expenses for the firstthree years of the program.44 The ablest boys and girls from black andHispanic communities must have access to thetype of education that provides high level <strong>in</strong>tellectualtra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong>stills <strong>in</strong> them the expectationthat they will lead lives of leadership andachievement," says Gary Simons, ExecutiveDirector of Broad Jump.Through PREP 9 over 160 participat<strong>in</strong>g NewYork City public schools will be searched for<strong>in</strong>tellectually gifted seventh grade youngsters.After extensive test<strong>in</strong>g and family <strong>in</strong>terviews,30 to 40 students will be selected <strong>in</strong> each of thenext three years to participate <strong>in</strong> the PREP 9<strong>in</strong>tensive academic and counsel<strong>in</strong>g program.Those who complete the year and a half programof extra classes, special tutorials and <strong>in</strong>dividualand family guidance will be admitted tothe participat<strong>in</strong>g board<strong>in</strong>g schools.Headmaster Jon O'Brien is delighted that St.<strong>Andrew's</strong> is part of this venture. He comments,"Our participation <strong>in</strong> PREP 9 is simply anothermanifestation of our commitment to be<strong>in</strong>g aracially and ethnically diverse community. Theprogram will move us closer to this goal <strong>in</strong> aresponsible way."Most students who enter St. <strong>Andrew's</strong> br<strong>in</strong>gexceptional academic records from elementaryschools where they experienced sound tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>gfor secondary education. Through no fault oftheir own, many of our m<strong>in</strong>ority students cometo us without similar preparation, leav<strong>in</strong>g themat a significant academic disadvantage. For themit has been a bit like enter<strong>in</strong>g a race aga<strong>in</strong>stswift competition before warm<strong>in</strong>g up properly."PREP 9 addresses this <strong>in</strong>equality. We believethe program will prepare its participantsfor the rigors of our curriculum and our highacademic expectations. We also believe thesetalented young people will enrich our community<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>numerable ways. It's all very excit<strong>in</strong>g."John Niles, Director of Admissions, looksforward to the PREP 9 program: "To me, themost excit<strong>in</strong>g aspect of the PREP 9 program isthe critical preparation of skills and expectationswhich takes place dur<strong>in</strong>g two summer sessionsbefore the n<strong>in</strong>th grade year. No less importantis the program's commitment to stay <strong>in</strong> a supportiverole with their students and parents allalong the way."As we add this program to our own recruitmentefforts and the long stand<strong>in</strong>g relationshipwith A Better Chance, another m<strong>in</strong>ority recruitmentprogram, we hope to further enhance thediversity <strong>in</strong> the student body." DLETTERS TO THE EDITORNICARAGUAI just got my latest issue of the Bullet<strong>in</strong> and read thestory by my classmate, Carey Lea '68, about his recentexperiences <strong>in</strong> Nicaragua. I'm glad that he hadthe opportunity to visit and work there, and I'm verygratified that you pr<strong>in</strong>ted his story; he speaks thetruth.
