Letter from the Head of School
INTERIM HEAD OF SCHOOL
Dear Friends,
Joanne P. Hoffman
DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS
In the arc of the school year, the fall always offers that familiar
feeling of limitless possibility—the excitement of reconnecting with
teachers and friends, setting individual and collective goals, and
preparing to be challenged by new learning experiences. This time
of transition is characterized by reflection and renewal, when we
have the opportunity to imagine the many ways that we will help to
shape the Friends’ Central landscape.

The theme of transition runs
through this fall/winter issue of our
magazine, and it captures not only
the spirit of the academic season, but
also mirrors this moment in Friends’
Central’s great history, filled with
potential and expectancy. This is
an exhilarating moment when the
community has the opportunity
to reaffirm its centering Quaker
values and feel sustained by its long
and distinguished history, while
envisioning a future filled with
endless possibility.
As I noted in my August letter to
our faculty and staff, Lucille Clifton,
in her poem Blessing the Boats,
writes about a period of transition,
“a time of sailing through this to
that.” Her poetic vision about this
kind of time includes the freedom
to explore uncharted territory, an
openness to all that comes our way,
and the confidence that many kinds
of support will grace our days. That
support at FCS comes in the form of
a spirited sense of community, which
is felt and expressed in every quarter
of our school.
From stories about our graduates’
transition to their colleges and
universities to the profiles of new
Board members to Jim Davis’s move
from choral director to his new role
as archivist, there are many exciting
transitional moments featured in this
issue—all contributing to the great
02
strength of our community. This issue
also includes the 2010-2011 Annual
Report of Gifts, in which we take
a moment to review our successes,
thank our many generous volunteers
and donors, and look forward to the
year ahead.
All will be grounded this year by
the work on our Long-Range Plan:
Vision 2020, which will provide other
ways for us to embrace change and
tap the collective wisdom of our
community. During this process, we
will rely on the enduring values that
tether FCS to its mission, define our
community, and are, in Robert Frost’s
great phrase, native to the grain.
I hope that you enjoy reading
this issue of Quaker Works and
its celebration of transitions and
community, whether through
the words of our student
Commencement speakers Alexis
Lewis ’11 and Kyle Seid ’11 or
through the testimonials of our
alumni/ae about Reunion 2011.
Thank you for the many ways that
you contribute to the vibrancy of
Friends’ Central, and I look forward
to seeing you on campus many times
throughout the year. QW

Letters to the Editor
keep an ice cube from melting. We
built model rockets and played with
boomerangs. I was on the stage crew
for one production, and my senior
project was to work as an apprentice
to a general contractor doing home
renovations.
WHY MAKING MATTERS
I wanted to praise the concept
of having kids make things as
was detailed in the article about
AnnMarie Thomas in Quaker Works,
Issue 2:2 [pp. 26-27]. I think this
is a very important skill for children
to learn, and one that is being
forgotten in this age of instant
gratification-fed consumerism.
I remember many projects that I
made at FCS. The first group-made
project that I remember is turning
Jack Briggs’ third grade classroom
into a tall ship called “The Flying
Cloud.” Later on, I have memories
of many other projects—some in
wood shop class with Bob Emory,
some in middle school science with
Doug Ross, some in physics with
Keith Buckingham, and some on my
own. There was also the time when
my hair caught fire when I tried to
blow out an alcohol burner that had
gotten out of control, which resulted
in Doug Ross turning the fire
extinguisher on me! Other activities
that I recall included competitions
like the egg drop contest and a
challenge to build an enclosure to
04
I credit the overall maker-friendly
atmosphere at FCS with helping to
develop my career as an engineer
and also with fostering my love of
tinkering with, taking apart, and
building things. I especially credit
Mr. Buckingham’s two-year physics
class with getting me interested in
attending engineering school. He
was very supportive of the students
that showed an honest interest
in learning about physics, and
allowed us great freedom in building
a curriculum by constructing
experiments to back up the theory
we were learning. Nowadays, when
my peers ask about the projects I
undertake, they are often surprised
to hear that I built something
myself. A common reply is, “Oh, I’m
not very handy, I could never build
something like that.” I think that
everyone can actually be a “handy”
person, given the chance to prove it
to themselves at a young age.
This is where a school like FCS
can continue to excel.

CAMPUS LOG
Many Friends’ Central alumni/ae joined the Upper School Chorus for one final song with
longtime director Jim Davis.
MR. DAVIS’ OPUS
Jim Davis went out with a bang
at the Spring Choral Concert, as
approximately 75 alumni/ae who came
to pay tribute to the beloved choral
director joined him and the Upper
School Chorus for a final song on
the FCS stage. Although Davis will
be retiring from his choral director
duties, he will remain part of the FCS
community, sharing his institutional
memory as the School archivist and
adding his support at alumni/ae events
and fundraising efforts.
When Davis arrived at Friends’
Central, there were only two concerts
a year, the chorus numbers were thin,
and no additional singing groups
existed. Over time, these two concerts
became six. He expanded the music
program to comprise a variety of
smaller ensembles including vocal
jazz, musical theater, triple trio, barber
shop, a capella, and vocal ensemble.
In 1998, Davis helped found the
Gay Straight Alliance, and he has
been an active and supportive faculty
representative ever since.
“I feel incredibly lucky to have
found a school that matched the
way I wanted to be with kids and
teachers—the tone, the modeled
authority, the mutual respect
between faculty and students,” Davis
said before his final concert. “Not
everybody is able to find that, a
school where they are able to settle in
and feel comfortable. This place is a
real home for me.”
Friends’ Central’s new choral
director is the enthusiastic and
accomplished Michele Zuckman,
who joins FCS from Lehigh Valley
ey
Charter High School for the
Performing Arts where she taught
ht
music theory and history, provided
ed
lessons in piano and voice, and
assisted in forming music curricula
ula
for grades 9-12. Zuckman earned
d
a BFA in vocal performance and
musical education at Carnegie
Mellon University and a master’ss
in choral conducting and music
education at Westminster Choir
College.

An Exciting Time of

BY LISA D’ORAZIO
Last spring, Friends’ Central School embarked on an extensive search for
an Interim Head of School, working with search consultants Earl Ball and
Jake Dresden of Carney, Sandoe, and Associates, an executive search firm
based in Boston. After interviewing a number of excellent candidates,
Ann Satterthwaite and Michael Kelly, co-clerks of the Search Committee,
announced with excitement that the Board of Trustees came to a unanimous
decision. Joanne P. Hoffman would serve as Friends’ Central’s Interim
Head of School for the 2011-2012 academic year.

An Exciting Time of
TRANSITION
“Everyone who met Joanne was impressed
by her leadership experience, her
thoughtfulness, her ability to listen and
communicate, and her passion for Friends
education,” says Michael.
Throughout her
40-year career as an
educator, Joanne has
been drawn to schools
like Friends’ Central
that are centered on
values. “I have held a
long-standing regard
for Friends’ Central
and am moved by the
community’s passion to
realize an even greater
potential. I have found
myself tremendously excited to be back in a Quaker school
because I believe Friends’ values are perfectly aligned with
all that is excellent in education,” Joanne says.
her retirement, Moses Brown created the Hoffman
Scholarship Fund, which increases scholarship
opportunities for deserving students, in Joanne’s honor.
The school also renamed a newly renovated building on
campus, West Middle House, the Hoffman House, the
capstone of Moses Brown’s Campus Master Plan.
Joanne gravitates toward schools that grow and change
with their students and help shape the whole child. She
comments, “I care deeply about how children grow as
well as about the way we consistently reshape and revise
our learning environments to make them more vigorous
for our children in this ever-changing world.” Joanne
also sought ways to remain in the classroom at each
school in the teaching role that is so close to her heart.
Even as Head of Moses Brown, Joanne read poetry to
Lower Schoolers, co-taught values class in Middle School,
and occasionally taught in the Upper School English
classroom. Joanne explains, “I believe that connection
with students is so important that I hope to find a way to
be in the classroom here at Friends’ Central, too.”
When she retired, Joanne wanted to contribute in new
ways to a profession that had been so good to her. So, she
began volunteering and serving on the board at Beacon

COMMENCEMENT 2011
BY SCOTT SHEPPARD
“One of the major benefits of the environment at Friends’ Central is that it
has enabled each of us to develop strong, distinct senses of self. The passion,
self-expression, and drive many of you have displayed throughout your high
school career are manifestations of individual exceptionalism. And they will
enable many of you to undoubtedly go on to do great things.”
-Kyle Seid ’11
12
Even though we were driven indoors by the
impending rain, student speaker Kyle Seid ’11
set the tone for what, as Head of School
David Felsen reminded us, was a beautiful
celebration of the graduating seniors. The
ceremony began with Felsen honoring Ann
Satterthwaite for her seven years of service
as the Clerk of the Board of Trustees.
Alexis Lewis ’11 was the first student speaker, and she
shared a wistful message about the importance of the
journey. Her speech was filled with stories from Lower
School and an overwhelming excitement for the future. “In
order to continue on our next journey we must take our
past with us as we move on in life,” she said. “Wherever
we may find ourselves, we must always hold true to what
shaped our past, acknowledge and appreciate what we are
today, and dare to be all that we can be tomorrow!”
Seid then reminded us that what makes the FCS
community such a dynamic force is that we celebrate
our differences. “Much of what we focus on at Friends’
Central is the strength and identity of our community,”
he said. “Embracing, championing, and fostering
individualism is conducive to a better community, or at
the very least one I would prefer. By celebrating your
individualism and encouraging each other to do great
things, you will continue to make our community here
and every community you choose to be part of going
forward stronger for it.”
Jim Davis (top) and David Felsen shared inspiring words at
the ceremony.
The combination of their speeches left the crowd in
tears of joy then laughter, then both.
These students were followed by commencement
speaker, Jim Davis, who retired after 39 years of
service as the choral director. Throughout his life, Davis
explained that one must recognize the difference between
what is noise and what Guiseppi Verdi calls your himmel,
your liebe, and your lied (your heaven, your love, and
your song).
We congratulate our graduates on their success at
Friends’ Central, and wish them the best as they head off
toward future journeys. We know they will carry a little
FCS in their hearts wherever they go, knowing they are
always welcome here. QW
Student speakers Kyle Seid ’11 and Alexis Lewis ’11 brought tears
and laughter to the commencement audience.

REUNION 2011
Leonard Haas ’76 (right, with David Felsen) was honored with the Distinguished Alumnus
Award for his generous support of the School’s many projects and his numerous professional
acting and stage accomplishments, which include the Barrymore Award for the role of Henry
in The People’s Light and Theater production of The Fantasticks.
Party-goers from around the block
to as far away as Canada, Israel,
and Sweden took part in dozens of
activities including campus tours,
Varsity athletic contests, Meeting for
Worship, distinguished alumna and
alumnus presentations, visits to the
archives, and class parties on and off
campus. This year, we also threw a
grand retirement party for longtime
faculty members Jim Davis, Lou
DelSoldo, and Lylee Van Pelt. In
addition, alumni/ae gave a combined
Reunion gift of $131,974.
Lynne Iverson Neefe ’61 received the
Distinguished Alumna Award, which
recognized her compassion and excellence
in the field of infectious disease education,
research, and clinical practice, as well as
her unparalleled commitment to Friends’
Central through her work as a class agent,
reunion coordinator, and member of the
Blackburn Society.
Thank you to everyone who
participated in Reunion 2011 and to
those who shared their wonderful
reflections with us! QW
Linda Waxman Wasserman ’75 is the Director
of Alumni/ae Affairs at Friends’ Central.
REUNION REFLECTIONS
Reunion was special, as some of our classmates
traveled long distances to reconnect. While
there’s no substitute for real face time, Facebook did
its job by starting the ball rolling in some instances.
We laughed together (at an impromptu large party at
Sang Kee Noodle House) and shed some tears together
(commemorating and honoring our dear classmate,
Jean-Pierre Guggenheim). In all, a friendly way to
celebrate each other and FCS.

It was a challenge and
fun to help plan our 50th
Reunion, and it was
rewarding and more fun
to attend and see so many
classmates after so many
years. Everyone had a good
time, and everyone looks
pretty good, too!
- Julie Pontz Curson ’61
REUNION REFLECTIONS
We probably all have the same reaction when
we hear that another Friends’ Central Reunion is
coming up “I can’t believe it’s been ___ years!”
But, a quick look in the mirror confirms the
decades since graduation. The reunions get
better as the years go by. They become less
about “What do you do?” and more about “How
are you?” I was surprised by how close I felt to
people that I haven’t seen in several years. What
a wonderful time to celebrate, reconnect,
remember those who have passed on, and
support each other.
It was a great joy to get together
with the wonderful people of
the class of ’71. Kudos to Joan
Alexander, for being the motivating
factor in getting us all together
again. She brought us to Friends’
Central from cities near and far,
and the Reunion did not disappoint.
We shared our news, some happy,
some sad, but were all there in
support of one another, just as we
had been 40 years before. As in the
past, we shared some great jokes
(concerning someone’s vacation)
and laughed harder than ever. It
was so difficult to say goodbye.
Here’s hoping that we can all get
together again soon!
- Liz Fried Richman ’71
- Dan Weiser ’76
OMG! Our 30th Reunion was so meaningful
and so much fun. Kudos to the Development Office
for using Facebook to arrange everything. People from
near and far arrived on campus, and the party continued
into the weekend. It is so nice to be reconnected and
feel the warmth of dear old friends.
- Julie Cowitz Gordon ’81
I had a great time at Reunion
Weekend. The class of ’91
(including its several honorary
members) remains the same
warm, caring, and friendly
group I remember from two
decades ago. I CAN’T WAIT
FOR THE 25TH.

Sarah Wallis Stevens writes, “My usual
plans to divide the year between Old

Jack Banks threw out the ceremonial
first pitch at a Florida Marlins game in
May, a result of his being the highest

the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital

at 78. There’s a lot of laughter at these
gatherings, too, as we share memories
and stories of many years ago. As an
example, wasn’t our senior show a hoot?
In case people don’t remember it was our
adaptation of South Pacific. Jane and I
still remember the duet we sang to Miss
Bryant, our French teacher. As neither
of us was in the chorus, we’re sure the
audience was relieved to find it was a
blessedly short number.”

anniversary in November 2010.
They moved to a condo in downtown
Winston-Salem, N.C., after 40 years
of living in two leafy residential
neighborhoods. They are enjoying
walking to restaurants, a movie theater
that specializes in independent films,
the theater, the arts district, and the
symphony. “At age 75, having a CVS
pharmacy right across the street and the
post office a block away are plusses as
well,” he writes. Their oldest daughter
lives in Center City, Philadelphia, and
their granddaughter, Keira, started her
freshman year at Swarthmore College in
the fall. She is the 14th member of the
James family to go to Swarthmore. “My
father, Paul M. James, M.D. ’25, was

English, and I also taught German to
exchange students. My wife and I are
friends of the Friends, and although we
are members of the Swiss Protestant
Church, we attend Meeting for Worship

and inoffensive way I have endeavored to
impart the importance of as much peace as
is humanly possible into the minds of my

Tad Jacks ’75 received the H. Korb Eynon Award for Enduring
Commitment and Service to Wooster School in Danbury, Conn., this
April. As Director of Admissions, Jacks oversaw enrollment increases
the past three years, helped create a new program for 3-year-olds, and
chaired the search committee for the founding director of the Prospect
School, which serves students with learning disabilities at Wooster.
Jacks also devoted countless evenings to the review of the school’s
mission statement and to the Educational Roadmap Committee this
year. Jacks led the creation of new school viewbooks and assisted
with the refurbished Wooster website and an online re-enrollment
process. In presenting this award, Headmaster Timothy Golding, a
former FCS faculty member, remarked, “The tradition of the Eynon
Award as stated in the citation is long term investment in Wooster. This
year, I am breaking with the pattern of longevity in years to focus on his
‘investment’, and to recognize someone who in three short years has
become indispensible to handling the enormous weight of the myriad
of new initiatives currently under way at Wooster.”

Dear Friends,
Thank you for the many ways you helped Friends’ Central achieve its 2010-2011 goals. We came
together as a community to support the school we love and in coming together, we made our
community stronger.
Annual Giving
This year, with the help of over 175 volunteers, 1,943 generous donors gave more than $1 million
to Friends’ Central. A record-setting 79% of parents and 34% of alumni/ae translated their support
for Friends’ Central into Annual Giving participation. Our students and teachers thank you!
Perfecting the Art of Fun
Our first all-school auction in decades, Perfecting the Art of Fun, gathered our community in
support of financial aid at Friends’ Central School. Ninety-two volunteers and 271 guests raised
more than $123,000, making a Friends’ Central education possible for talented students with
limited financial means.
A New Digital Media Lab
A brand new state-of-the-art digital media lab was constructed at FCS this summer. Funds for
this project were given by parents, Board members, and alumni/ae. Keep your eye out for exciting
projects emerging from this creative space in Shallcross Hall!
Alumni/ae Return
Alumni/ae showed their love for Friends’ Central all year long. More than 600 alumni/ae returned
to School for events throughout the year, culminating in our Reunion celebration in May.
Many thanks to all of our volunteers whose great enthusiasm and generosity made many things
possible! We are all looking forward to a new and exciting year at Friends’ Central. As always, we
welcome your thoughts and your involvement.
Best wishes,
Edward Grinspan
Development Committee Chair, Friends’ Central Board of Trustees

Even now, some of my best friends are
the ones that I made at Friends’ Central
in Middle and Upper School. At FCS, I
had opportunities to be a member of the
community in the classroom as well as in
sports, music, and other extracurricular
activities. Looking back, I can see how I
benefited from the ability to be involved in such a wide range
of pursuits.
By participating in Annual Giving at the Leadership level, I
am happy to support the curriculum and activities at FCS,
both in and out of the classroom. I want to help ensure that
the sense of community and high-quality faculty and staff
that existed when I was a student continues today. More than
anything, this is why I give back.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at
Friends’ Central, and I want others to
have a great experience as well. That is
why I give back. The spirit of giving was
instilled in me during my years at FCS,
so I knew giving back was important—
no matter the amount. As a college
student, I don’t have a lot to contribute,
but I know that participation is just as important!
Everyone can give something, and it makes me feel good
to know that I can do my small part to help make Friends’
Central the wonderful place that it is. Giving back each year
is a way for me to continually support all of Friends’ Central’s
efforts to provide an exceptional learning experience, and is a
small way for me to stay connected to the school that I love.

Planned Giving – The Blackburn Society
Frank James ’53
When you get older you start to think about
what you want to do with your estate. If
you have the opportunity, if life has been
good to you, then you can think about
doing something for those organizations
that need your support. Each of us has
to decide what is appropriate. At Friends’
Central, the faculty care about the
students. They put students first. Also, the School has continued
to live the Quaker principles that I grew up with in the Society of
Friends. My planned gift is my way of showing my appreciation
for what the School has done and is an investment in the
School’s future.
The hardest thing is just to bite the bullet and create a will.
Once you make that decision and talk to an attorney, it is very
easy to do. We update our will every five years, as tax laws
change and our needs may change.
I encourage everyone to consider a planned gift. Anything you can
do is helpful and is a way to do some good when you are gone.
The Blackburn Society was named
in honor of Eliza E. Blackburn ’22
and her family. Their estate gift
helped make possible the purchase
of the Lower School campus
and establish the Blackburn
Enhancement, a salary supplement
given to teachers each December.
BLACKBURN SOCIETY
The Board of Trustees established the Blackburn Society to honor
individuals who have made provisions in their wills or estate plans to
benefit Friends’ Central School. These donors, who have informed
the School of their intentions, have helped provide for the School’s
future through a variety of gift planning vehicles including bequest
intentions, testamentary trusts, life income vehicles such as pooled
income investments, charitable gift annuities, gifts of real estate,
and other deferred gifts. Their vision and wisdom extend beyond
the immediate needs of the School, and their generosity provides a
source of income which the School can depend upon and use to plan
for generations ahead.
We welcome with thanks the

Blackburn Society this year:

Parent Giving and
Volunteering
Donna Davin (’18, ’21, ’23)
My kids love to see me at FCS—they
are even proud of me! I think it is
important for them to see me as part
of a team. We, like most parents, are
super busy, but my husband and I
volunteer when we can, and school
events are a great way to meet other
parents. I work the Pumpkin Fair.
I was a room mother and a member of the welcoming
committee. I am also a phonathon caller.
I understand how tough it is financially. I get asked these
questions all the time in my calls, “Why should I give one
more dime? Why should I give to financial aid?” Well, for
one, the School needs the funds, and two, when other gifting
organizations like corporations and foundations see a high
giving rate among parents, they read that as a strong school
community and are willing to give more.
Financial aid is critical because economic diversity makes
Friends’ Central great. Many of us send our children here, in
part, because we like the culture at the School. That culture
would not be the same without diversity, and giving makes
that happen. I look at it this way: we already pay a lot for
tuition; if we don’t give what we can, and are not as involved
as we can be, then we are not getting our money’s worth!

The Home and School Association is the organized body
of all Friends’ Central parents. The personal investment
of mothers and fathers in their children’s education is an
integral part of the School’s philosophy and, by encouraging
parental involvement, Friends’ Central accomplishes its
goal of establishing a partnership between the School,
the student, and the family. Thank you to the following
parents who held leadership positions and to all those who
volunteered at HSA events throughout the year.
