"I came to Steward 2-1/2 years ago from another private school here in Richmond. Steward was different from any other school I have come in contact with. I had never been in a school where the entire grade would fit in(to) one class. Now, I'm not the greatest student, but for some reason I felt important at Steward.

_ rs. Brandt came to me and told me I was w,lng Battle of the Brains. It was never a

t;stion. It was as if I had received a royal ree. The teachers here at Steward were

onderful. They always tried to answer my questions, even if I asked the same one over and over again. From Ms. Myer's riv­eting history lessons to another c lass I want to tell you about. This class was different

Blue & Gold CONNECTION

from any other I had ever taken. From the minute I walked into this class I felt very comfortable . Over the course of my illustri­ous career at Steward you could find me there at any given time during the day, whether I was working or just talking with my teacher. Now this was no ordinary teacher. This teacher stood by me through some rocky times here at Steward, and I always knew I could (urn (0 him to talk about what was going on in my life . So, Mr. Imirie, I guess I would just like to thank you for what you have done for me, and I am sorry more Steward students won't have the ex­perience of having your class. Good luck in graduate schooL .. "

"It is my duty tonight to welcome you, and I feel that it is important to explain just what it means to be a Steward graduate first.

In a four part study of American school chil­dren, New York Times writer Stacia Tauscer claims: 'Modern school systems have been plagued with extreme farsightedness. We worry what a child will be tomorrow, yet we forget that he/she is someone today.'

Never has a statement been so incorrect when applied to Steward. Steward has given us one simple tool necessay for sur­vival both now and in the future. I have been through several different school systems and I can honestly say that Steward has successfully brought out the individual in each senior here tonight.

In most schools the teachers can bore(dig) for hours without ever striking oil. However, at Steward, the teachers make an effort to make every class an experience to learn from. Nearly every lesson is filled with stu­dent essays and debate. Class discussions

in a simple history or art class can open a new world of perspective for a student . Teachers take time out of their private lives to spend time with individual students.

Teachers care enough to notice when a stu­dent is having trouble, academically or oth­erwise, and will often work very hard to help such students . Many times , when my mother has fallen ill, I have stayed awake late in the hospital with the company of a teacher. I have visited those same teach­ers when they have fallen ill. To many teach­ers, this graduation may seem like the loss of a good friend, but I assure them, these friendships never die.

Steward has allowed students to develop by learning from each other as well. The senior class is essentially 10 individuals from different backgrounds who have been forced together to share in each other's lives. Some of us are thoughtful and quiet, and some of us are not so quiet! Some of us are simple country folk, and others are hyperactive city dwellers.

Yet, like some strange scientific study we all volunteered, even begged, to be crammed into a tight, crowded windowless room we called the Senior Lounge. For sev­enty-seven thousand and seven hundred (77,700) minutes of our lives we came to­gether, settled our differences, and devel­oped an appreciation for each other. We learned to stand up for ourselves in a ma­ture way and to combine our resources for such purposes as a new Lower School playgound design.

When three of us wanted to take college courses, Steward had enough interest in us to make it possible. When we wanted to play sports not offered at school, such as Lacrosse, Steward arranged for coaches or allowed students to participate in other clubs. Only here could I be the Steward calculus student.

This all boils down to one word Mr. Cramer taught me that makes Steward the excep­tion: RESPECT. Steward respects the stu­dents' needs, personalities, and thoughts enough to treat each student individually. Instead of forcing each student to be one type of person, the School treats each per­son as though he/she was the only student at Steward. Steward respects the students enough to give them the freedom to be in­dividuals, and in turn, the students respect themselves .

We have been taught to be better people today, so that we can be better people to­morrow ... "

with the Steward family after his -year hcre. ..

"When I arrived in Richmond on August 10,1994 to begin my year as an AFS stu­dent, I had been told only that Richmond is a small city that is especially pretty in the Springtime. I brought along equally simpte expectations ... 1 expected a fairly easy year of fun-filled days of new friends and expe­riences.

Those simple expectations have been re­alized but in ways quite different from my early vision. First of all, my academic ex­pectations included the be lief that my classes woutd be difficult because of the language barrier. Classes are challenging at Steward, but the willingness of the teach­ers to help is limitless. My teachers were always willing to give me the time and the help I needed in order to understand a con-

cept or complete an assignment. My new-found knowledge includes infor­mation on the stock market which I learned in economics; an introduction to the American genius, Thomas Jefferson, about whom I learned in His­tory; a love for the French language which I recognized as a result of my foreign language class here; and a new interest in the Fine Arts which I devel­oped in art and theater classes. I also knew nothing about computer when I came to Steward, but I now consider myself proficient. In addition, I was able to play soccer for Steward, an oppor­tunity thai gave me a chance to im­prove myself in the area of sports.

As for English, I spoke English when I arrived, but there is no better way to become truly competent in a language than to speak and write it every day. English verbs and prepositions con­tinue to torment me, and sometimes word order is a problem. For example, I sometimes say "Trust of Boardees" rather than Board of Trustees, but ev­eryone still seems to know what I mean.

Even my wildest expectations did not in­clude two experiences that were especially meaningful for me this year. Those experi­ences were Model United Nations (MUN) and Altemate Program. When I participated in three MUN sessions and worked at the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington, I was taking the first real steps toward my future, a future in international diplomacy.

As for my expectations about friends, I quickly learned that real friendships take time to develop. I have learned how to listen to what others think even when their ideas and beliefs are completely diHerent from my own. I have also learned to repect the beliefs and feel­ings of others and never to take real friendship for granted.

Cheryl Mayers

to the administration, my teachers, and IlJa friends for a wonderful year. Richmond is. small city that is pretty in the springtime, but now I know that it and Steward ca much, much more." _

As I leave Steward and Rich­mond to return to my home in the Dominican Republic, I will take with me many more memories than I had expecta­tions. I will remember the many people who have helped me, what I have learned, and most of all, my host family, the Paulettes , who made home and Steward forever insepa­rable in my mind. Thank you Susanne Reynolds and Monica Kallman prepare for the

processional.

Middle School Final

. ssembly

'

Middle School's Final Assembly of the 4-95 School Year was held in the Gym­

sium at 11 :30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 7, only minutes after eighth grade students completed their last exam. Following a brief welcome by Headmaster Steve Stackhouse, Jay Hughes presented a gift to the School from the Eighth Grade.

The Student Government President (Stephen Paulette), Vice-President (Alisia Freeman), Secretary (Willie Paoletto) and Treasurer (Clayton Haskell) were recognized for hard work and excellent leadership by their advisor, Ms. Woodle.

Students who had achieved Honor Roll or Iggies (Improved Grades Group) during the school year were recognized with certifi­cates. These students have been named in previous issues of the Blue and Gold. The following special awards and recogni­tions were also made:

The Head of the Upper School and Direc­_ of Studies, Ms. Carolyn Brandt . ve an inspirational and thought provok­.. speech which was very well received _ he attentive Middle School students and

parents .

Following the ceremony, there was a lun­cheon in the gym for eighth grade students and their families.

"To all award winners I would like to begin by adding my congratulations to those of faculty, family, and friends on this special day. The printed program in your hands calls this the final assembly and appropri­ately so because it is our last chance to acknowledge and celebrate the accom­plishments of so many of you in this room.

For you eighth graders, though, today holds an added significance. I've overheard sev­eral of you in the hall talking about eighth grade graduation. I would like you to con­sider for a moment another word used to describe today-commencement.

Commence means to begin and I think I like that word better. Life really is a journey

through which you move. You are now ready to begin the next part of that journey, high school, a period both scary and exciting at the same time.

presents Jennifer Latourelle with The Steward Award.

As you set out on that joumey, I'd like to give you a helpful hint, a secret to help you make the next four years good ones. Let's begin with a story from earlier this year. Some of you eighth graders may remember the day I subbed for Mrs. Shaw. You had been reading a story about success and Mrs. Shaw left us with the challenging task of defining suc-

Blue & Gold CONNECTION

cess. Do you remember that some of you were absolutely sure that the secret of suc­cess was getting .. . that the more posses­sions you accumulated, the more success­ful you would be?

For just a few minutes today I'd like to sug­gest a different way to look at life. I suggest to you that the secret to life is not getting but giving. Does that sound crazy? To give instead of get? Let me explain what I mean.

Do you remember when you were little and a parent or grandparent treasured a holi­day card you made with crayon or magic marker? Do you remember the person say­ing it meant more to them than the fanciest Hallmark creation? Why? Because with that card you were giving a part of yourself.

I suggest that you approach your high school years the same way. Give that same gift of time ... to yourse lf, your school, and your community, and you will benefit as well.

Here are a few ideas:

Give yourself a gift-by taking advantage of the courses you take in high school. Your teachers and your fellow classmates have knowledge and experience to share with you which will make the years after high school much easier. Listen .. . participate ... be involved in your classes .. . give to the classes and you will get much more from them.

Outside of the classroom, also give of your­self.

Those of you who have never played on an athletic team, pick up a hockey stick or a lacrosse stick or try canoeing. You have skills you don't even know you have-and our coaches will help you.

Those of you who have been involved in sports, try something new as well. You don't like theater? How do you know? Audition for a play or volunteer backstage. Read Jenny McComas 's story in the literary magazine about what theater has meant to her life-and try it yourself.

Those of you who have enjoyed theater or sports, but say, 'I can't draw'-I'II bet Mrs. Paulette can convince you otherwise if you try her class.

Those of you who found the eighth grade assembly speeches terrifying ... sign up for Model UN. In a few years you will not only feel comfortable speaking in public but you will be leading-and winning debates-in front of hundreds of people.

Look beyond the four walls of this school as well . Have you ever volunteered in a hos­pital or nursing home? Helped with a class in Sunday School? Prepared a meal for CARITAS? Start this summer. Look for chances to share a part of yourself with someone else.

What do all of these suggestions have in common? They are expensive-because they use the most valuable resource you have-your time. They will also bring you the greatest wealth-because they will bring you self-confidence, poise, and a vi-

sion of the limitless opportunities which lie ahead in life.

All you need to do is try. You won't fail . You can't fail. Someone very wise once said th~ the only failure is the failure to try. _

So, what is the secret which I leave va you? The secret of living is giving. Try it .. I promise you won't regret it!

Thank you."

Graduation Day in the Lower School The Lower School Final Assembly began on Wednesday, June 7 at 9:00 a.m. in the School gymnasium with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance lead by fourth grader Anne·Claiborne Shelton. The "Star Spangled Banner" was then sung by the 2nd grade.

Ed Rossmoore reiterated the year's theme of "catching one another be ing good." Announcing that Mrs.Wolff had hand delivered certificates of recognition to the Spartan Patrol , Mr. Rossmoore then gave the first assembly award of the dayA Spartan Patrolman, Matthew Stal'" back, for offering his services "above . beyond the call of duty. " The Spartan . trol was begun by Mrs. Wolff (Kindergarten teacher) two years ago as a helper system for the younger students who might be ner­vous about "how, when and where" to do the many activities at the School.

was Grace Broaddus (sister of our own Mrs. Chalkley). All year long, Tues­day was the "day of Grace." She would stop by each Lower School classroom to ~eck in with the teachers to see what _.,~aterial.s might be needed from the pub­

lic libraries to support classroom irlstruc­a:>n. And like a little elf-on Tuesdays " other set of material would appear!

A special award (a backpack filled with school supplies) was given to Mr. 'mirie by Will Hession on behalf of the stu­dents and faculty of the Lower School for his in.spiration and unending energy in bringing out the best in each and every student. The best of luck to him.

The 3rd grade was "caught being good" more times than any other class in the area of cafeteria and recess etiquette and received audience recognition of applause as the class stood. A most ap­propriate song Take a Dream and Make It Happen was sung by the 4th & 5th Grades with solos by Leigh Shelton and Ramsey Bsat.

Jennifer Gray, the Lower School stu­dent council president, reviewed the year's events and certificates were ~anded out to the Student Council rep­. sentatives by 5th grade teacher Ms.

Fox.

e s. Jane Whitely, parent of Jennifer and Jessica Gray, shared her 9 year per­spective on The Steward School. Hav­ing started as a part-time tutor, Ms. Whitely had heard that her daughters did not need to come to Steward, but she quickly learned after getting to know the faculty and staff that she wanted her chil­dren to attend this school. And she and her daughters have chosen to return each year since.

"This final assembly of the 1994-95 aca-demic year is traditionally known as a rec-ognition assembly, and many individual students and classes have been recog-nized for their achievements.. . However, I want to take this opportunity to recognize each and everyone of you - the boys and girls of the Lower School, for your part in an excellent school year.

In my first year as headmaster, I have come to realize that outstanding effort, citizenship and achievement is a daily occurrence at The Steward School. Congratulations. I am proud of you, and you can all be proud of all you have learned and of your accom-plishments this year. Thank you for mak-ing this first year such a special one for me.

This assembly has a very special meaning for those of you in the fifth grade. This is your last day as a student in the Lower SchooL .. Your school day next year will be very different than what you are accustom to. You will have seven or eight teachers, instead of one. You will change classes at the bell and be in classrooms throughout the campus. You will have an advisor and a locker. You will begin most days in as-semblies. You will be eligible for interscho-lastic sports, like soccer, basketball, ten-nis and field hockey. You may even start taking some high school courses ...

However, more will change than just your daily routine. Your years in the Middle School will be a time of great change -academically, social ly and physically. Through these changes, you begin the long

PAGES

process of becoming an adult... So I offer you some advice and one comment.

First, use your new freedom wisely. Becom-ing an adult is much more than just physi-cal development. True adults think and be-have in certain ways. I mean that they act responsibly. Think ahead and come to class on time and prepared. Keep up with your homework even though it may not al-ways be checked by the teacher. Enjoy the snacks and candy available in the school store in moderation! Always remember that your primary purpose here is to learn.

Secondly, take advantage of your new op-portunities to get involved in school life. Pursue your interests and try new things. Participate in athletics and in the fine arts. Join a club or student organization . The more you are involved school the more you will enjoy it and the more you learn about yourself.

Finally, remember that you are not alone. When you hit the inevitable "bump in the road ," remember teachers, counselor, ad-ministrators and parents are here to sup-port you . Feel free to ask for guidance. Don't be afraid to share a problem or concern. In many instances another point of view can be helpful, even comforting. Remember that we believe in each of you and want you to believe in yourself.

" ... Beginning in Kindergarten there was the freedom to decide how to best spend that precious morning free time- a choice that we as adults make every day. In 1st grade the teacher provided a multitude of centers following seatwork that required a child to use high-level time management skills;

skills most parents have to put into play constantly. Second graders learned to com­municate through writing- a life-long pur­suit. In 3rd grade a student's global aware­ness was increased by discovering ttA children around the world are proba~ more alike than they are different and I need to playa part in the furture of the vironment. Grade 4 students learned th would not be wise to say 'My mother forgot to put it (homework) in my backpack: and that the ultimate responsibility for any class assignment was theirs. These 5th graders have worked hard this year to master math, SCience, geography and language skills. The students ... have already started to think of themselves as middle schoolers and they are armed with the confidence to believe they will succeed. We want them to be self­assured, but not self-centered, because a leader is one who understands himself and cares about others."

The Nike Dominion Open The Nike Dominion Open occurred June 1-4 at the Dominion Club in Wyndham. Ta Steward School provided volunteer supp" by staffing the main concession tent at ih· event benefitting the American Red Cr and the YMCA.

Buddy Day On Tuesday, May16, rising sixth graders ex­perienced what it will be like to be in the Middle School. The class of fourteen fifth grade students chose sixth grade students to be their "buddies" for the day.

The day began with the annual recognition assembly for Upper School students. Grades 5 through 12 attended. Following the assembly, fifth graders went with their sixth grade buddies to exploratory classes, regular classes, lunch, and then to Physi­cal Education.

AJdy Day ended mid-afternoon with a . eting between fifth grade students and

looking forward to a new year of school. How much time do we have to get from one class to the next? What happens if we are late? Will we have a lot of homework? What if we don't get it all done? The discussion that followed was educational and reassur­ing.

All students agreed that Buddy Day had been worthwhile, and that sixth grade would be a great adventure.

••••••••••••••••••••••• UPPER SCHOOL

Recognition Assembly On Tuesday, May 16, the Upper School held its traditional recognition assembly. The Middle School was invited to help honor the Upper Schoolers and to become more aware of the many opportunities available to them as members of the Upper School. Mr. Stackhouse extended a special wel­come to grade five which had joined the sixth grade for Buddy Day (see separate article) .

Mrs. Brandt explained that the assem­bly would acknowledge honorees in aca­demics and in extra-curricular activities other than athletics and fine arts, which hold their own assemblies (see separate ar­ticles) .

The assembly began with a performance by the Upper School Girls' Choral En­semble under the direction of Mrs. Bonnie Anderson. Mrs. Brandt then

recognized those students who earned honor roll for every marking period thiS year: Grade 9, Chris Hagy, Sara Rossmoore, Catherine Woody; Grade 10, George Cauble, Lainie Haskell, Shawn Lewis; Grade 11 , Kenya Young, and Grade 12, Jenny McComas.

Various department heads then presented awards, beginning with Mrs. Anderson 's acknowledgment of Kate Hulcher's se­lection to District Chorus . Miss Leslie Roughley, Science Department Chair, made her lab awards, including the Golden Scapel Award to the best anatomy student, David Moeser, the Golden Test Tube Award to chemistry student, Ben Reif, the Test Tube Brush Award to Shannon Meade, and the Silver Scalpel Award to Kate Hulcher .

Mrs. Norva Meyer, the Model United Nations (MUN) sponsor, presented certifi­cates to the Upper Schoolers who had par­ticipated in one or more of the MUN pro­grams this year at the University of Virginia, Old Dominion University, and National New York City MUN . Over half of the Upper School partiCipates in at least one of these very popular programs.

Recognition for outstanding work all year for MUN was given to Fahad Qureshi - Best New Delegate of the Year, Chris Hagy ­Most Improved Delegate, Laura Ward -Outstanding Research, Heather Cohn - Sponsor's Award, Parke Rhoads -Most Valuable Member. Special recognition was given to Cheryl Mayers and Alex Rojas , our American Foreign Service (AFS) exchange student, for being an Hon­orable Mention delegation at Old Domin­ion. Additionally, Alex Rojas was named Steward Delegate of/he Year and honored with an engraved plaque displayed in the main office. As chairmen of the Social Stud­ies Department, Mrs. Meyer also acknowl­edged Parke Rhoads, grade 12, for his volunteer work as a teacher of a four-unit Junior Achievement economics course to the fourth graders.

Athletic Director, Janet Rice announced Steward's Richmond Times Dispatch Scholar-Athletes, Cheryl Mayers and Frazer Orgain. Cheryl was also honored by the newspaper as one of the top ten fe­male scholar athletes in the metropolitan area and was the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship.

Corbin Adamson, sophomores Hilton Graham, Lainie Haskell, and Kate Hulcher, and freshmen Chris Drzal, Becky Meyerhoff, Aaron Payne, Sara Rossmoore, and Chad Whitten were then recognized by spon­sors Janet Rice and Brenda Turner. These students teach units to fourth grad­ers on issues such as respect and respon­sible decision-making.

Engraved pewter cups (compliments of pro­gram sponsor, Ukrop's) were presented to Battle of the Brains team members George Cauble, Alec Kean, Shawn Lewis, Jenny McComas (captain) and Parke Rhoads, by thei r coach, Mrs. Brandt. Mr. Stackhouse then awarded certificates to tenth graders Bruce Lalone, Brian McGehee and Sam Proffitt with heart­felt thanks for thei r help during the Parents' Association Auction.

Every year certain colleges present book awards to local high school students. This year two college book awards acknowledg­ing academic excellence and additional contributions to the school community were awarded. Mrs. Marion Chenault, a member of the Steward Board of Trustees and alumna of Randolph-Macon Woman's College, awarded that school's book award to sophomore Lainle Haskell . Mr. Stackhouse presented the Wellesley Col­lege book award to junior Kenya Young (Two additional book awards were made at graduation on June 7; see separate article) .

Finally, Mrs. Brandt recognized Cheryl Mayers, recipient of the Brotherhood/Sis­terhood Award presented jointly by The National Council of Christians and Jews and the I nterfaith Council of Greater Rich­mond. The brotherhood award is given in each of the high schools in the Richmond area to the member of the senior class who best exemplifies the qualities of mutual re­spect and greater understanding among people. Jenny McComas was the win­ner of the OAR Good Citizen Award. The DAR sponsors a national high school rec­ognition program to stress the qualities of good citizenship among senior high school students. Criteria include good character, dependability, seNice, leadership and pa­triotism.

To conclude the assembly, the Junior Mar­shals were announced. A Steward tradition IS that the entire Upper School is a part of the graduation processional. Each year the academic committee, consisting of librar­ian, department heads and division heads,

PAGE1Q

selects two members of the junior class to lead the processional. The students this year were selected for their positive atti­tudes and contribution to the School com­munity. Congratulat ions to Corbin Adamson and Ben Relf - and to all of the students acclaimed on this special day. They have truly taken advantage of the op­portunities which Steward offers - and we are proud of all of them!

••••••••••••••••••••••• MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Happy Mother's Day! On Mother's Day, the 8th grade music class and mothers were invited to a concert of jazz and contemporary selections per­formed by the Richmond Symphony under the direction of George Manahan and The Great American Jazz Ensemble . Following the concert, the students were invited back­stage to meet with Conductor Manahan and Russell Wilson, renowned jazz pianist from the Richmond area.

This unique opportunity was made avail­able by Ms. Denise McLaurin, mother ofTrent and Ashleigh, and it was a very spe­cial aftemoon for all who attended. (includ­ing Ms. Anderson's mom!)

••••••••••••••••••••••• MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Spring Sprang! On May 11, The Steward School Spring Concert took place . This enchanting evening included performances from the Spring semester recorder class, the Middle School Chorus , the Upper School Girls' Ensemble and the Lower School "Sea Cruise" cast.

The middle schoolers dressed as teenag­ers from the fifties and performed selections from that era including "Grease" and "Bye, Bye Love." The Upper School Girls ' En­semble program consisted of spirituals in­cluding "Little Innocent Lamb" and "Sing Alleluia." The recorder class played a rep­ertoire of folk songs and comtemporary tunes including Elton John's "The Lion King Medley."

PAGE 12

The finale of the evening was the Lower School rendition of "Come and Let Me Take You on a Sea Cruise" that was presented again the following day for "Grandparents' Day"

'Come and Let Me Take you on a Sea Cruise' was this year's theme for the Lower School "Grandparents Day" held May 12. The play, written and directed by Director of Music, Ms. Anderson, was a "splashing" success.

With Austin Pittman (grade 4) as the Captain of the S.S .Steward, Sara Kornblau (grade 5) as Malioki from the Hawaiian Islands and Andy Baruch (grade 5) as the Jamaican ship's steward, the cruise was a memorable one. Here's the story.

Mom (5th grader Mary Ashley Stanton), Dad (4th grader Matthew Stainback), daughter Shelley (5th grader Sally Anne Stratton), brother Johnny (5th grader Chris Feuerman) and friend Michael (5th grader Will Hession) packed their bags and departed Richmond, Vir­ginia for a lovely visit to the island of Jamaica, the beaches of Southern California, and Hawaii for some fun in the sun! While in Jamaica, the family was joined by two Jamaican ladies (Jen· nifer Gray and Leigh Shelton - 5th graders) .

The family trip on a glass bottom boat turned to di­saster as a tidal wave capsized the small boat and the tourists ended way down below the sea,

where they met Ollie Octopus (Jacob Fram) and all of the other sea creatures (K-1 st grade) . Although they had a wonder­ful adventure under the sea, the family wanted to go home. So, the baby baluga led the family back to the top of the ace. where they were met by Captain Steve. Shelley and Johnny were pleased toA going home because "there is no place_ home!"

The students in Kindergarten through 5th grades gave an energetic performance, singing and dancing their way throughout the evening. Smiles and loud ovations from their audience signified another success­ful Lower School performance!

KUDOS Governor's Schoo.

Ted Benson, a rising eighth grader, has been selected to participate in the Aero­space Challenge course of the Mathemat­ics & Science Center's 1995 Governor's School. The Summer Program Director, Gloria Clark, congratulated Ted by saying "You have the honor of representing your school and your school division as one of the best science students in the Metro Rich­mond area." Way to go, Ted!
