Bill was at once both deeplyhumble and larger than life. A

Margaret Evered is passionateabout human rights, particularlyreproductive rights, women’srights and children’s’ rights. Aspresident of her sophomore classand member of the Junior States-men of America chapter atPrinceton High School, Evered is

already striding down her make adifference career-path. Recently,Evered was accepted to attend theJSA summer school program inWashington, D.C. – an opportuni-ty that, if she can raise the fundsto go, will shape the clay of herpassions.

“I am not sure whether I wantto follow my passion for women,children and reproductive rightsby becoming a doctor, a lawyer. I’dbe interested in politics if thatwas the best path to defend

women’s rights,” Evered said.Evered became irrevocably de-

voted to such issues last fall whenshe attended a talk at the UnitedNations about child marriage.

“We heard a bunch of peoplespeak about their experiencesdealing with having no sexual re-productive rights in Nigeria. Itwas super emotional. There weredoctors, diplomats, non-govern-

mental organizations – all differ-ent representatives speaking toone problem,” Evered said, hereyes wide.

A film called “Vessel” was alsoa significant inspiration forEvered.

“It’s about this doctor from theNetherlands, Dr. Rebecca Gom-perts, who deals with women’srights. After going on a Doctors

Without Borders trip, she realizedhow things like contraceptionand abortion were illegal and un-available for many women,”Evered explained. “She created aship – a vessel – and invitedwomen onto international waterswhere they could seek out theirmedical rights.”

When Evered applied for theJSA summer school, she was re-quired to write two essays: oneabout her experiences in highschool and extracurriculars and

the other about a political topic of interest.

“I discussed women’s repro-ductive rights and women’s andchildren’s rights, and it only tookme 30 minutes to write the firstdraft,” Evered said. “I finally hada platform to express myself andit just poured out.”

Through this program at theJunior Statesmen of America

SummerSchool,Evered will re-ceive leader-ship and aca-demic train-ing fromGeorgetownprofessors andparticipate indaily debates

where she willbe able to meet and question polit-ical leaders.

“I’d love to meet Cory Booker,”Evered said. “Even though he’s solocal, I’ve never had a chance tomeet him. Really, I’d be excited tomeet anyone in the presidentialelection – with it, a lot of these is-sues I care about are coming tothe forefront.”

The program also includesfield trips to various hotspotssuch as the Pentagon and Con-

gress to facilitate a more hands-on approach to learning politics.

If Evered attends the program,she is excited to have discussionswith a diverse group of students.

“It includes kids from all overthe country. Within the PHS JSAchapter, the other students and Ioften agree on things, at least on a

Princeton High School student aimsto make waves in politics this summer

The Arts Council of Princetonand Princeton Variety Theaterpresent, “Peter Pan at the Prince-ton Public Pool – Pirates, Pande-monium and Panto.” Saturday,March 5 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. andSunday, March 6 at 4 p.m. at theStuart Little Theater, StuartCountry Day School of the SacredHeart at 1200 Stuart Road, Prince-ton.

Swashbuckling Peter Pan ap-pears whenever a child says,“Let’s Pretend.” The Darling chil-dren love make believe, but their

helicopter parent, the rules-ob-sessed Mrs. Darling, insists theykeep things real. When a local ty-coon threatens to convert the poolto AstroTurf, the whole townturns out to keep him at bay. Onthe way, Mrs. Darling learns thetrue meaning of magic when sheturns the family pet into a giantcrocodile.

The script, written by Zoe

Brookes, Todd Reichart, TomRegan and Per Kreipke, featureslocal businesses, local stories,

jokes for all ages and some bigsurprises. Brookes, Reichart andPlainsboro music teacherMichael Jacobsen created origi-nal music for the show. The per-formance involves more than 50community members both frontand back stage, ages 8 to 75, in-cluding singers, dancers, acro-bats and musicians.

Panto, or pantomime, is not thesame as mime. Panto is crowd-

pleasing, family-oriented theater,typically based on a well-knownstory, and specially crafted for thetown where it’s performed. Thereis a great deal of audience partici-pation, singing and dancing, anda very simple script. Often, menplay women and vice versa.

Director Reichart has plenty of film, theater and TV credits to hisname, but this local form of origi-

nal theater has a special place inhis heart. “We bring people to-gether in an honest attempt tocreate something wonderful fromwhat everyone can offer. Expectcute kids, virtuosity and bellylaughs,” he says.

For funding, this productionrelies in part on local sponsorsfeatured in the show. This year’ssponsors are JaZams, Hulit’sShoes, Princeton Center for Den-tal Aesthetics, Smith’s Ace Hard-ware and Labyrinth Books.

Tickets are available for pur-

chase atartscouncilofprinceton.org.$20/adults; $15/Arts Council of Princeton members, children andseniors. For more information,visit artscouncilofprinceton.orgor call (609) 924 - 8777.

or once, it seems that Gov.

Christie and his team have

shown some restraint when it

comes to projecting the state’s revenue.

Maybe his failed bid for the Republican

nomination for president humbled

him. OK, probably not.

In any case, unlike the last coupleyears, Christie’s proposed budget that

he revealed last week is projecting a

modest 3.1 percent revenue growth.

That’s a breath of fresh air compared

to more recent years, when revenue

projections seemed unrealistic at the

get-go and then proved to be exactly

that by the end of the year.

Those revenue “shortfalls,” if you

can even call them that, caused serious

problems for the state, both in terms of

balancing the budget and also in the

case of having its credit rating down-

graded – again and again.

For FY 2017, though, it looks like

Christie and his team have finally de-

cided to go the conservative route.

Christie is hoping his $34.8 billion

proposed budget will be the start of

making the “next two years great ones

for our state,” as he said in his budget

speech last week. It’s nice, as well, that

Christie sounded focused on local is-

sues in our state, rather than larger na-

tional and even international issues as

he was campaigning for the big seat in

Washington.

Christie’s proposed budget includes

no tax increases and the largest pay-

ment ever to the state’s pension plan –

$1.86 billion. His opponents will say

that’s still not enough, falling way

short of what actuaries say is neces-

sary to keep the pension fund healthy.

His opponents will also say

Christie’s budget has failed to addressthe Transportation Trust Fund, which

is in dire shape and could be out of

money by as early as June. That’s a se-

rious problem, one that Christie said

still can be fixed in time.

The long-term impact of Christie’s

proposed budget won’t be seen any-

time soon. We don’t love that it doesn’t

include increased funding to areas

such as public school aid. However,

there are times when spending must

be curbed to get a budget in line, even

if that takes a few years, and now

seems to be one of those times.

in our opinion

Gov.’s budget shows restraintConservative revenue projections are nice to see

Your thoughts

What are your thoughts on Gov. Christie’sproposed budget? Share your thoughts onthis, and other topics, through a letter tothe editor.

Our district’s focus on wellness and bal-ance, our stated mission to prepare youngpeople not simply to get into a competitivecollege but to lead lives of “joy and pur-pose,” has been generally met with over-whelming support by our community.Nevertheless, I inevitably get the question:

“How can we change the competitivepressure our students feel when the collegeadmissions process continues to apply it?”

Remarkably, the colleges answered thatquestion themselves with a groundbreak-ing report on the admissions process re-leased last month by the Harvard Graduate

School of Education. Entitled, “Turningthe Tide,” the report was written and en-dorsed by scores of the top colleges acrossthe country. And it says simply this:Enough.

It is time to end the arms race among

students of moreand more APcourses and ever-increasing extra-curricular activi-ties. It is time toend the emphasison individual, per-sonal successrather than con-cern for others andthe common good.

Instead, the re-port calls for col-

leges to send themessage thatwhat they wantfor our young peo-ple is to be “ethi-cally and intellec-

tually engaged.” And it offers a series of recommendations to achieve just that.To foster ethical engagement, the report

recommends a sustained, authentic com-mitment to community service. Accordingto the report, community service is not abox you check when you’ve completed aspecified number of hours but a value thathas been developed at home and at schoolover multiple years. The report asks forcommunity service that broadens our stu-dents’ understanding of diversity anddeepens their sense of gratitude.

The report also emphasizes the impor-

tance of service to family. Maintenance of job, taking care of younger siblings – these,too, have value in deepening ethical en-gagement and should be affirmed by the

college admissions process.Under the umbrella of “intel-

lectual engagement,” the reportrecommends a few extra-curricu-lar activities done well ratherthan a long list of superficial in-volvements.

And the same is true with aca-demics. The report recommends

students take fewer AP and accel-erated courses so they can ex-plore them in depth with passionand curiosity.

“We don’t want students whodo things just because they thinkthey have to in order to get intocollege,” writes Stuart Schmill,dean of admissions at MIT. “Tothe contrary: we want studentswho lead balanced lives, who pur-sue their interests with energyand enthusiasm, and who workcooperatively with others.”

Finally, the report recommendsthat we expand students’ think-ing about “good” colleges. Thereare many pathways to profession-al and personal success, and thereality is: the person you take tocollege – your character, intellectand creativity – is far more im-portant than the particular col-lege you attend.

For me, the report is summed

up best by Diane Anci, dean of ad-mission at Kenyon College. Shewrites:

“In ‘Turning the Tide,’ we aregranting our children permis-sion, space, and time to developtheir analytical strength, theirempathic and generative selves,and their inner lives of reflection,values, and aspirations.

We will reward them by em-phasizing depth over breadth of resume, and strength of purpose

over multiple application fillers.In shifting our focus, we hopeto inspire students to use theirschool years as truly formative.We aspire to the goal of matricu-lating students who have the in-ternal clarity and drive that willpropel them forward throughtheir college years and beyond.”

“Turning the Tide” signals asea change in college admissionsand an affirmation of our effortshere in Princeton. I hope the re-port is read by all of us – educa-

tors, parents and young people.Moreover, I hope that all of us

join in weaving its critical andcommon-sense recommendationsinto the fabric of our schools.

Evered is devoted to ensuringhuman rights through equality of education, access to medical helpand opportunities for women andchildren both internationally anddomestically. To take the next stepin her passion and attend the JSA

“I’ve applied for a lot of schol-arships through the JSA. The pro-gram provides a lot of its admit-ted students with a fundraisingpacket. I think they’re alreadytrying to get you experience incampaigning,” Evered said.

Evered is doing other sorts of grassroots campaigning, such asletter-writing, which she says hasbecome a sort of after-school jobfor her.

coach, and as a knowledgeableand energetic principal. Bill al-ways put the needs of childrenand families first. “Children in-spire us,” he used to say. “If welisten well, they teach us how tobe successful.” Bill reveled indeep conversations and sponta-neous laughter. He had an innateability to connect with and to in-spire others no matter how old oryoung they might be.

In his 30 years as the principalat Riverside, Bill created a veryspecial school culture, one rich in

joy, laughter and new ideas. Billloved being a principal and feltthat one of the best parts of his

job was being enriched by hisstaff. “When you work with greatpeople – when you work with vi-sionaries,” he once stated, “it islike an endless riot of ideas andpossibilities.” That “riot” result-

ed in a school garden, a turtlepond, a black box theater, a won-derfully diverse pre-school andcountless curriculum initiatives.

As recently as last year, Bill wasbringing children together with alandscape designer to create anew playground!

Bill made a lasting impact onso many in our community. Overthe years, former students repeat-edly sought his counsel whetheras teenagers, young adults or par-ents themselves. A lifelong ath-lete and longtime coach, Billstarred on the football and trackteams at Princeton High School

and later coached football andlacrosse at PHS. He founded theBobby Campbell Lacrosse Foun-dation, named in memory of aformer player, to bring lacrosse tounderprivileged youth, and hecoached an adult lacrosse team inPrinceton for a decade. Bill lovedthe give and take of competitionand encouraged his student-ath-letes to take the lessons and team-work they learned on the field

and apply it in everyday life. Billalso served as president of thedistrict’s administrators associa-tion for many years and was a

leader among his colleagues.Bill’s office was covered with

pictures of his beloved wifeSusan, his children Casey Upson(married to Lionel Upson) andBilly Jr. as well as his two belovedgranddaughters. He will bedeeply missed by his Riversidefamily, the Princeton communityand all of us who knew him.

At this sad time, the district ex-tends its condolences to the Cirul-lo family and their extended cir-

cle of friends. We hold Bill andhis family in our thoughts andprayers, and we honor his memo-ry by remembering the joy andpassion with which he lived hislife.

“I get great enjoyment in myday by being with our students,”Bill stated in 2013. “I became aneducator to interact with kids. SoI preserve that. I have the best of the best jobs in the world.”

“My interest lies in portraiturebecause it has the capacity tohave people identify with whatthey’re looking at in a way – moreso psychologically and emotional-ly,” Stolfa said. “All of my photo-

graphs are kind of sad or isolat-ed. I think really good portraiturecan draw people in in a way thatthey may not even realize.”

about your town.about love in the 1920s. It’s set

against the backdrop of theFrench Riviera with pink and yel-low striped beach tents and Gats-by-style boater hats bobbing si-multaneously through dancenumbers. At the center of theplay is Polly, an English heiress,who longs for one thing: a

boyfriend. Her heart ends upbeating for a messenger boynamed Tony.

Played by Reeve when “TheBoy Friend” first hit the stage,PDS newcomer Itai Fruchter tookon the role of Tony for the an-niversary production.

“It’s such a huge honor,” saidFruchter, who recently moved tothe area from Israel and is a jun-ior at PDS. “I did plays before butnone such as this. Everyoneworks hard and is really profes-sional. It’s just incredible.”

Twelfth grader Sophie Freed-man is opposite Fruchter as PollyBrown.

“It is just really cool that we’rebringing back this production atPDS,” Freedman said. “Themusic is great, there is so muchcolor. It’s extremely exciting.”

To prepare for turning backthe clock and honoring theessence of the original produc-tion, students were shown old

videos of Reeve and his class-mates on stage. In the “back-stage” area, which consists of onehallway with lockers covered in arainbow, dance shoes, props andrickety gold-painted chairs, there

is a framed poster board collageof “The Boy Friend,” a seeminglylong-standing centerpiece in saidcorner of the school.

“Every designer here wasbrought to look at these old pho-tos. We wanted to keep that lookand feel,” Cahill said. “Our chore-ographer, Ann Robideaux, usedthese as a starting point for thesong and dance and strived to re-main true to form.”

Cahill proceeded to explain thescenes in between, however, wereliberated with a bit of “creativefreedom.” The students were al-

lowed to improvise throughoutrehearsals – contributing ele-ments of modernity in the male-female relationships while repli-cating the atmosphere dictated bya 1950s musical about the 1920s.
