From the Headmaster

Academics, the arts, and athletics are the three pillars on which the educational program at Steward rests. As everyone who knows Steward is aware, this is a school that is committed to small classes that allows considerable individualized attention, and that focuses on individual learning styles with emphasis on the teaching methods that address those styles. Unlike what is often true in academ­ics, the arts, according to Elliot Eisner, Professor of Education and Art at Stanford University, " ... help us to grasp things that cannot be reduced to the literaL" The brain , according to Eisner, "is biological , part of the basic equipment, but the mind is developed by the kind of experiences children have. School is a social institution that is created to provide experiences that influ­ence the shape that minds will take. Educators, by deciding what to teach, what to marginalize, and what to neglect, control the types of experiences children have and determines to a significant extent what their minds will be like." Eisner sees the art teacher as contributing to these experiences in "critical and positive ways , by encouraging the child's development of skills that transcend the obvious user in the arts : perception, the ability to make judgements in the absence of rules, seeking multiple solutions to indi-

vidual problems, and learning how to explore and control the expres­sive potential of form, the artist [shaping) a form that influences his or her interior life ... " Put another way, the arts are important "because of the ways in which they engage and develop human intellectual ability ... to judge, to assess, to experience a range of meanings ... "

For many years, Steward has been known for its strength of programs regarding the arts. Expo­sure and participation in arts events throughout the year begin at the earliest ages, culminating in paint­ings and drawings exhibited at Crestar Bank and St. Mary's Hospi­tal, choral presentations both at School and at nursing homes in the area, plays and productions on stage at each Lower School grade level , and in the fall and spring involving students from all three divisions, Stunt Talent Night, the Spring Concert, and the frequent classes that are conducted in the regular program. This is a long list exemplifying the importance we place on the arts here at Steward.

And it will only get better. Guided by the framework of the Campus Master Plan, construction of the Paul R. Cramer Center for the Arts will begin in one year­during the summer of 2000. The Center will be state of the art. It will allow for even greater expansion of our arts offerings because the facility will include studios for dance, sculpture and ceramics, choral and orchestra, painting and drawing, and a SOO-seat theater. With program expansion and the neces-sary teaching-faculty in-crease, many more opportu-nities will be provided for our students in the years to come.

The arts have long been, and will continue to be, a major component of the educational program at Steward. And, it would

appear that, more than ever, the need for arts education is greater now, at the end of the 20th century. The late Ernest Boyer of the Carnegie Foundation summed this up near the end of his life. "Our twentieth century has seen a crippling of the human spirit. Frag­men~ation abounds. Students are directed to one narrow branch of knowledge, thereby losing a larger vision . Even the arts have become so separated that students of music, or painting, or literature fail to see connections. Humanities students specialize in 'periods'­Renaissance, Baroque, Modern­and are hardly conversant with traditions outside those little boxes."

"Education must reaffirm the breadth and richness of our lan­guage, rejoicing in both verbal and nonverbal symbols. From birth on, the human mind is stocked and stoked with images from all our senses. Although it is not clear how the process works, we do know that every image we receive evokes layers and shades of meaning."

"Art education, then, is basic because it extends our language. It enlarges the store of the images we use. It makes our understanding discriminating and comprehensive. Music, dance, and the visual arts are languages that reach all people at their deepest and most essential human level. Thus, aesthetic literacy is as basic as linguistic literacy."

A SALUTE TO STEWARD FINE ARTS

Students of The Steward School are fortunate to have not only a broad-based curriculum to prepare them academically for the chal­lenges of the future, they are also privileged to have a wide range of opportunities to participate in athlet­ics and the arts. In this issue we salute the fine arts of Steward. Whether in a mainstage theatrical production , creating a unique masterpiece in the art classroom, singing in a choral concert, or performing before the Steward community in various annual pro­ductions, each student has the occasion to cultivate and display his or her talents in the arts. The Steward School is indeed proud of the dedicated and gifted faculty who help bring out the artistic genius in its students:

It Truly Was An Enchanted Evening!

Hailed as one of the top produc­tions on Steward's stage, this year's spring musical South Pacific was a spectacular success with full house attendance for all four perfor­mances. Dazzling sets and cos­tumes created an aura of tropical paradise for this Rodgers &

Hammerstein favorite. The music was simply supert>-it was hard to find a dry eye when senior Taylor Collier sang Some Enchanted Evening with all the emotion the selection commanded; and who could resist a smile when Lower Schoolers Tracey Best (grade 5) and William Shimer (grade 2) shared the spotlight with senior star Amanda Taggart with perfect French in Dites-Moi.

The musical was also touched with sentimental ity. For Tom Whatley , who joined Steward in January as the new theatre teacher, South Pacific was his first mainstage production in his new role at Steward . As he stated in the playbill: "The very first musical I produced and directed all by myself after college was South Pacific. Needless to say, inexperience played havoc with the production.

A scene from Soueh Paone- Luther 8i//is (Michael Congdon-junior:) with the Cirls of Hali Hai (Iefc); Bloody Mary (Laine Ashker- freshman) and Lr.)oseph Cable (Pete Congdon-senior) are on the righe.

With this cast and crew, I feel like I can now look upon the show as first , a learning experience, and now a satisfying one." Steward alumni also returned to campus for the all-familiar production-South Pacific was the spring musical of 1988 at Steward as well. A recep­tion following Saturday night's performance gave former actors and actresses the chance to meet their character counterparts.

For several appearing on stage, it was the last bow they would take in Steward's theatre. Seniors Taylor Collier, Amanda Taggart, Pete Congdon, Jennifer Latourelle , Erin Hunter, Michael Maszaros, Stephen Paulette, Andy Stitt, and Shelly Giglio have been active participants in the Steward fine arts department during their years at Steward. As Taylor Collier stated, "Wow! My last show at Steward and what a way to finish ."

Stunt Talent Nlaht_When Evenone's a Star ............ Stunt Talent Night, the annual Steward event where everyone has the opportunity to shine on stage, has long been lauded a favorite evening of entertainment. Stu­dents (and even some faculty playing a part) create their own acts, ranging from skits to solos, and perform before a large audi­ence of family and friends. Music director, Bonnie Anderson, as­sumes the awesome responsibility of coordinating the evening and writes about this year's spectacu­lar production.

Stunt Talent Night '99 was such a huge success it had to be moved into the gymnasium to accommo­date all of the parents and friends

of the participants this year. Amidst the cheer­ing of a standing room only audience, forty-two acts displayed a variety of talents. There were representatives from the Lower, Middle, and Upper School classes as well as the traditional "Wannabe" contest. Hosted by seniors Jennifer Latourelle and John Klpley, the evening lasted a record three and one-half hours. (I plan to have a separate Lower School talent presentation next year to help alleviate the lengthiness of the program.)

Stephen Harfer, senior, perfonned iI fPmiIrkable rendition of Michael./ilckson, winning the Wannabe Contf!stof' 999.

From juggling to vocal presenta­tions, piano solos to instrumental performances, skits to dancing groups, all had a wonderful time both performing and cheering for the other performers. Stars are born each year as we watch the talents of our students

blossom. I foresee song writers, country singers, pop stars, and Broadway dancers joining our alumni list in the future. We still encour­age all who might have even the ·slightest" desire to perform to take that first step, muster the courage, and give it a try. After all, the performing arts are a catalyst for building self-esteem and skills that

local Exhibits Feature Steward Anists

Richmonders were given the opportunity to view first-hand the artistic talents of Steward students with several displays set up in local establishments in recent months. The lobby of Crestar Bank was filled with works of Middle and Upper School artists during the month of February. A reception honoring the artists and their families was held on February 8. Also, artwork by Lower School students was fea­tured at the St. Mary's Hospital Youth Art Gallery, with an opening reception held in their honor on April 25.

The Steward School is indeed proud to have our community at large enjoy the talents of our art students.

First Annual Middlel Upper School Spring Choral Concen

This year Steward added a special event to its fine arts calen­dar. The first annual Middle/Upper School Spring Choral Concert was held on May 13. From Classic to Classical, the evening included piano and recorder selections as well as solo and group choral numbers. The performance was followed with a lovely reception coordinated by Lynn Congdon, chairman of IMPACT, the Parents' Association volunteer group to assist in the promotion of the fine arts .

As Bonnie Anderson stated, "This new tradition will include the opportunity for senior choral stu­dents to present solo performances as well as participate in an evening of choral and instrumental music."

A Capital Experience It was a cold February morning

(early in the morning), and Richmond's Amtrak station was buzzing with activity-Steward's fourth and fifth graders were gather­ing for their much-awaited trip to Washington , D.C. After all the days of planning, preparing for the museums, and practicing how to use the Metro token machine, the big day had arrived. The following are excerpts from students describ­ing the experience.

J."I C ..... (Cnll. 5) .. . When we boarded the train, it

was about 7:25 a.m. Our cabin was coach class . I sat with Afton , Mason, Robert, and Lauren. We played poker for about 40 minutes and then Robert and I drew together. We got to Union Station at about 9:45. It was snowing lightly. Robert got real siked [psyched] because he had hardly ever been to Wash­ington before. Then we bought our Metro tickets and got on. We stopped at Metro Station to get on another train bound for the Smithsonian. When we reached our destination, we went into the

American History Museum. Once again Robert got siked [psyched] because they were selling freeze dried ice cream. My dad could not come on the tour, but said he would catch up. He never did ... . I'd say this field trip was the coolest so far!!!

I went to Washington, D.C. on a field trip with the rest of the fourth and fifth graders. I rode the Amtrak train

for the first time. Then, when we got off the Amtrak we had to take the Metro. Then after the Metro the real fun started, except that we had to walk while it was snowing. The first place we went was the NASA Museum. We ate lunch in the NASA cafeteria. It was very expensive. The next stop was the Portrait

Gallery. My dad and I took a cab back to Union Station around 4:30 and had an early dinner. Then we did a little sightseeing in Union Station.

Some of the classes in Lower

School had an exciting opportunity to help school children half a world away. Students in Mrs. Grossman's, Ms. Goodpasture's, Mrs .. Chalkley's, Mrs. Hayes' , and Mrs. Strickland's classes sent a large mailbag and two boxes of school supplies to Kuanysh School in Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan. Paul Cramer, former Steward headmas­ter, visited the school last summer and was astounded by their tremen­dous need for basic supplies. We are proud of our students for their enthusiastic and generous re­sponse to this need.

Alternate Program 1999 This year's Alternate Program,

Steward's minimester of on and off­campus experiences outside the classroom, featured a variety of exciting opportunities and activities for Middle and Upper School stu­dents. Middle Schoolers explored Richmond and its history; students in Grade 9 focused on career and college choices; a group of 20 Upper Schoolers, accompanied by Pat and Kelly Cuneo and Rugene Paulette, traveled to Italy; and other students in grades 10-12 participated in off-campus intern­ships in various companies and establishments.

Middle School on the Move in Richmond IIY l.rlB StnII.,- 81611. 6

The theme for the Middle School Alternate Program this year was Exploring Richmond. The different groups you could choose from were Civil War, Ghosts, James

River, WTSS-TV, or Famous Richmonders. I was in Famous Richmonders. The teachers were Mrs. Woodle, Mrs. Duke, and Ms. Rice. During Alternate Pro­gram we took a couple of field trips. The first was to St. John's, the church where Patrick Henry gave his "Give Me Liberty of Give Me Death" speech. The second trip was to the Valentine Museum where there were lots of different pieces that tell about Richmond's history. On the way back to school we took pictures of all the monuments. On the last day we took the pictures and made a book. I think Alternate Program is a great way to interact with people you usually would not.

year,. one of the options presented was a trip to Italy.

Everyone who went on the trip agrees that the experience was great. Our group flew into Balogna, drove to Venice, stayed for one night, drove to Florence, stayed two nights, then drove to Rome with stops at Pisa and the ruins of Ostia. Our stay in Rome, the last leg of the trip, lasted four nights, including a day trip to the ruins of Pompeii at Napoli.

In Venice the group stayed at a local hotel. Since there are few roads over land in Venice, most travel was done on foot or by boat. One of the most memorable mo­ments in the trip occurred when we went to the Square of San Pedro. The pigeons were numerous, and seve'ral members of the group found themselves swarmed after buying bags of seed. Fortunately, the pigeons were also well be­haved. However, the most spec­tacular feature of Venice was the architecture. We saw some of the most beautiful buildings in the world in Venice.

The next stop on our trip was Florence. Here, we saw some of the most famous art in Italy, includ­ing the Statue of David and the Uffizi Gallery, home of Boticelli's "Birth of Venus" and other famous paintings. We also saw some of Italy's most famous religious structures, includ­ing the Piazza del Duomo. After visiting the graves of Marconi , Michaelangelo, and Galileo in the Church of Sante Croce, we visited the Pontefecchio, one of Italy's most famous shopping districts. Almost everyone found some great mer­chandise.

The last part of the trip would find us in Rome, but we made two stops on the way. First, we stopped

Katie Drzal, junior, an avid equestrian, traveled to Florida to serve as the assistant to a profes­sional rider during the 1999 HITS Ocala (Horseshow in the Sun) competition. During her 10-day internship she also had the oppor­tunity to enter the competition with her own horse, Simply Elegant, and came away with two first place ribbons in the events. Katie's trainer, Sulu Rose (Steward Class of 1991 ) was also in Ocala compet­ing in the show's Grand Prix events. Katie stated , "This was truly an exciting trip. The opportunity to see top professional riders in various events and to compete with my own horse in my first 'A' show was an experience I will never forget."

at Pisa to see the Leaning Tower and continued to the ruins of Ostia, one of the Roman Empire's largest cities . Afterwards, we continued to Rome. Our stay in Rome was almost indescribable. We saw many landmarks, including the Colosseum, Trajan's Column, and Pantheon. None of these com­pared with what we saw on the last day, though. Our tour group spent part of its last day in Italy in an audience with the Pope.

The trip to Italy was one of my best experiences at Steward. We saw some amazing sights. It was an unforgettable experience.

Students joining Carter in taking advantage of this wonderful oppor­tunity were Anusha Abbasi, Alice Avent, Christine Beil, Tikia Bonner, Stewart Felvey, Shelly Giglio, Pamela Hutzler, Elena Ian tasca, Sara Kornblau, Justin Mehaffey, Divam Mehta, Molly Sauer, Laura Slabaugh, Phillip Stanfield, Eric Sternberg, Caroline Vencl, Walter Wash, and Bo Wise.

Spring Break Travel for Steward Students

Two special travel opportunities were offered for Steward students during Spring Break. Gail Heaton, French teacher, escorted four senior French students (Michael Maszaros, Taylor Collier, Alice Avent, and Fahad Qureshi) to Quebec and Montreal. Activities they enjoyed during their six-day trip included visits to various muse­ums and even dogsledding! They also saw a spectacular traveling Monet exhibit.

Spanish teacher Melanie Rodriguez coordinated an excur­sion to Spain . Upper Schoolers Laine Ashker, Jason Lewis, Eliza Goldman, Chris Maszaros, Erin Markowitz, and Michelle Whitaker, along with parents , Mrs. Goldman and Ms. Ashker, en­joyed the sights of cities such as Madrid, Seville, and Malaga. They were also able to take a tour of Amsterdam on the return trip.

Michelle Whitaker summa­rized the adventure: "I must say this trip and the memories I brought back from it will stay with me my entire life."

Riverston Students Vish Steward

The Steward School has en­joyed a six-year sister school relationship with Riverston School in England. In March Steward was pleased to host a group of nine students from Riverston with their chaperones, headmaster Michael Lewis and his wife, Janina. During their stay in Richmond the students lived with Steward host families. They had the opportunity to visit

classes and tour attractions in Richmond and the vicinity. Stunt Talent Night even featured an energetic dance routine by one of our Riverston visitors. Ironically, at the trip's outset Roland was dubbed "the shy student-the girl we were concerned would have a difficult adjustment," said Michael Lewis. She left Steward with a host of new friends and a dose of self-confi­dence!

Catesby Jones is coordinator of the Riverston exchange program and has accompanied Steward students on their bi-annual visits to England and France. This ex­chan.ge program has given the student bodies of both Riverston and Steward an insight into the different educational systems of both countries. The reciprocal visits have also forged lasting friendships.

Steward is privileged to have this valuable relationship and looks forward to further expanding its contacts with other European schools. A trip to England, France, and Austria for Steward students who are interested is planned for the spring of 2000.

Wimer Athletic Wrap-Up bCat:/l8/U

MIIIII.I kllll.lallll"'all Despite a rocky start, the Middle

School boy's basketball "A" team hit its stride in mid-season and finished with a 5-9 record, winning five of their last seven games. Eighth graders Matthew Stainback and Blake Frostick were the primary offensive forces, each averaging

over 10 points per game. Guards Alex Benson, Sean Jackson, and Hunter Sears also put forth tre­mendous effort every game on the defensive side. Although some of this year's eighth graders will be advancing to the varisty level next year, the "A" team should be in good shape for the 2000 season under the leadership of Robert Turner and Jim Atkinson and a very promising group of rising seventh and eighth graders from last year's "8" team.

The Middle School "8" team averaged 25 points per game throughout their season of three wins and eight losses. Under the direction of new coach Wallace Inge, Joe Matthews and Nick Taylor emerged as the team's scoring leaders. 80th had a six­point per game average. They were helped by Artis Mills, An­drew Rose, and Denham Pasco who ~hipped in five points per game

each. Pasco scored a game high 14 points against Luther Memorial.

The Middle School girls' basket­ball game finished another great season with a 6-1 regular season record in Division III of the Colle­giate Middle School League. This team has lost only one regular season game during the last three seasons (20-1). Since the squad did so well throughout the season, they were moved up into the Divi­sion II Tournament bracket and were seeded #3. The team was led by Juliana "Shortstop" Sumner from her position as point guard. Sumner was able to break the half­court pressure through her consis­tent dribbling and her accurate passing. Lauren Harris and Allison Strickland led the team in scoring as well as being the defen­sive stalwarts around the baseline and key areas. In the tournament, the girls lost to St. Catherine's Gold Team, but defeated Collegiate's Gold Team by a score of 19-12 in an excellent game. Their final game against All Saints was a

disappointing loss, but the team should be congratulated for an exceptional three seasons!

V.1'IIlV .uIl ..... 11 The varsity girls' team ended

the season with an overall record of 8-10. The squad consisted of underclassmen, no juniors or seniors. Sophomore Ashlee Healey controlled the flow of the

game as the team's point guard while freshman Jennifer Gray led the team in rebounds and steals. Marshall Felvey was the team's leading

scorer, averaging seven points per game. Felvey and Gray were also selected as League of Independent Schools (LIS) Division II All-Stars. They were selected by the coaches for the athlete's performance throughout the season.

The varsity boys' basketball team was led by senior Stephen Harler who averaged 20.5 points and eight rebounds per contest. Right on Harler's heels were Rusty and Will Perkins. Rusty, senior, was the second leading scorer chipping in 12.2 points per game. Sophomore Will Perkins

Sophomore Ashlee Healey shows her ball handling skills.

grabbed an average of seven rebounds in each outing. The team's overall record was ten wins and eight losses.

Several key games propelled the team towards winning six of their last seven games. One was a 62-58 win over Kenston Forest after being down by 20 points early in the second half. Another was a 5346 victory over Heritage Christian which avenged an eariier four-point loss to them.

Steward hosted a season ending Invitational Tournament and the Spartans' performance was incredible. After beating Fredericksburg Academy, Steward faced the Central Virginia Patriots in the ohampionship game. The game went into overtime and our boys clinched the title with a 64-60 win. Stephen Harler, Rusty Perkins, and Will Perkins were named to the All-Tournament Team. Harier was also selected as the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Congratulations to Coach Duty, Coach Coulombe, and Coach Spencer for a great season.

Wlatlr Sleeer The girls' soccer team, In Its

second season, played a JV sched­ule. The team ended the season with a four-game winning streak, and they posted an overall record of 6-2. Under the direction of Coach Rachael "Diesel" Belmonte, midfielder Brantley Scott dominated all season. Anusha Abbasi had a great year from her defensive position while seventh-grader Sally Summerson manned the goal.
