From the Headmaster Dear Friends, How do you define Leadership? Can it be taught, or is it learned by “osmosis” through exposure to inspiring, charismatic individuals? Are we born with—or without—an innate ability and desire to lead? Not easy questions to answer, are they? In over twenty years in education I’ve listened to and engaged in countless debates on the subject as it applies to school communities and students. Here’s what I do know. Inspiring young people to lead begins with some version of the following statement: “You can do it.” Simple as that. The “it” could be large or small and apply to a moment or a lengthy span of time. And the teacher, coach, dorm parent or advisor who makes this statement must be someone who has earned respect and, most of all, trust. He or she is a role model so the “You can do it” carries with it a challenge worthy of a youngster’s best efforts. At a time when so many schools across the country are becoming cautious—cutting programs and teachers and opportunities—we’re strategically expanding them in the firm belief that placed into the right situation with the right adult, every girl and boy can thrive, even lead. Because each of you remembers (even if we didn’t like it or fully understand at the time) the person at MCI who pushed, cajoled, disciplined and loved us—whatever it took. Those individuals made us who we are now and gave us that opportunity, even if just for a moment, to be a LEADER because he or she believed in us, likely more than we believed in ourselves at that vulnerable age. Was it Young, Pottle, Legge, Piper, Spear, Kingsbury, Bartlett, Mosher, Williams, Slagle, Dana, Bradshaw, Smith, Bessey, Veilleux, Earle, Russell, Haseltine, Card or someone else I’ve not mentioned? Was it in the classroom, dormitory, club, dining hall or on the field or stage? All that we’re doing now at MCI in our daily work, in our comprehensive fundraising, and in our planning for the future is so that many years from now, when today’s students are sitting where you are at present, each has a name he or she remembers with the same gratitude. Someone who said, “You can do it.” I can assure you that today’s MCI teachers are as dedicated, demanding and caring as ever! We can’t do it without your continued loyalty, support and, yes, your contributions to our Annual Fund wherein you demonstrate your own continued leadership on behalf of this great old school. Leadership: Service to and sacrifice for others. Thank you for your present and future leadership of Maine Central Institute. We welcome your comments!

She is the youngest female legislator to lead the minority party in the Maine House. Cain said that her goal in speaking with the students was to challenge them to broaden the answer to the question “what do you want to be when you grow up?” She asked the students to think about more than just a job or profession but also about how much one gives back and chooses to share his / her leadership potential. Cain then spoke about being open to opportunities when they arise. “You always need a plan, but don’t let the plan prevent you from living up to your full potential.” She also spoke about the importance of letting other people guide and help you, telling the crowd about her greatest mentor and friend, her high school music teacher. portance of being a leader in one’s own community, saying “everyone out there has the potential to be a leader, to do something great in the community.” He went on say that being a leader requires sacrifice and personal responsibility and highlighted the importance of making good decisions, especially surrounding social media. Williams also told the students that leaders can’t choose to take the easy path, and that it is important to lead every day. He used the examples of giving up two hours of their time on Saturday to volunteer or $2 to a charity instead of purchasing a soda, to show that small sacrifices can have a significant impact on their community.

The visit allowed about 45 music students in five different music groups the opportunity to work with Austin and culminated with the fall jazz concert on November 1.

Visual Arts Enhances Fall Jazz Concert This fall, Art Teacher Jill Schvartz contacted Dean Neal to find out what music would be performed at the fall jazz concert. Her class then reviewed the music and chose one song on which everyone could do a reflective visual piece. The students listened to Cantaloupe Island by Herbie Hancock, in its various versions, The @ MCI as they painted. They also discussed what the music meant to them, how it made them feel and what they thought about the colors and movement that might be apparent in the song. To complete the project, the class hung their canvases in the gynasium for the audience to reflect upon during the concert. Drama Team performs “Anything Goes” MCI’s Drama Team got out their tap shoes and performed their Fall Musical production of Cole Porter’s 1934 musical comedy Anything Goes on November 18th and 19th. Anything Goes was directed by Rachel Damon and featured a cast of 27 students. The cast worked ten to fifteen hours a week beginning in early September to mount the ambitious musical production featuring tap dancing sailors and show girls. Set aboard the S.S. American, a steam ship headed from New York to London, Anything Goes features the antics of an eclectic group of characters. Billy Crocker ( Joe Bowman ’12) stowed away to be with the debutante Hope Harcourt (Meri Berthelette ’12) who was engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh (Alex Harvey ’15). Reno Sweeney (Sarah LaGross ’13), a nightclub singer, and Public Enemy #13 Moonface Martin (Kevin Belgard ’15) teamed up to aid Billy in his quest to Andrew Schanck ’12, Jake DiTullio ’15 and Jen Chadwick ’14 perform in the Jazz Combo Jordan Cram ’13, Sarah LaGross ’13, Merideth Berthelette ’12 perform an excerpt from Anything Goes during Parents’ Weekend. “Cantaloupe Island” H20 Oil Colors on Canvas by Anna Olsen ’15 When I listened to this song, I saw a lively city. The fast pace seemed like the bustle and maze of buildings. When the song slowed at certain parts, it then reminded me of a sloping countryside... so I painted both from a distance. The song also reminded me of a dinner party, so I made it dusk and added stars to lighten the mood. The leaves I put in to add rhythm. win Hope’s love. The Saturday matinee performance was geared toward families with children and provided an entertaining exposure to theatre. Following the matinee performance, audience members had the opportunity to do a meet and greet and ask questions of the cast and production team. Back to the Future: The Bossov Nutcracker in Skowhegan O n a dark, overcast, and frigid December 17th in St. Petersburg in 1892, the ornate blue and silver curtains of the Maryinski Theatre opened to Tchaikovsky’s newest ballet score, The Nutcracker. The Tsar himself, Alexander III, strong, burly, and six foot four, was in the audience with his lady, the Empress Maria Fyodorovna, and their five children, including young Nicholas, who would be the last of the Tsars. When the final act ends in the now famous Land of the Sweets, Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker refrain, turned soft and slow now, as it draws the ballet to its close, accompanies ballerinas clad in black and yellow as honeybees, assuring us that there will be sweetness and honey forever – which, if you are Russian, far, far north of where sugar cane grows – is a Christmas assurance that is comforting indeed. So we can imagine that the Romanov family left the show with visions of honeybees dancing in their heads. We know that Alexander, known as the last true autocratic tsar, loved the show, contrary to some critics who had not yet gotten used to Tchaikovsky’s revolutionizing effect on ballet. We don’t see the little bees anymore in today’s Nutcrackers. They seem to have given way to scenes of little girls awaking from the classic Christmas dream about Prince Charmings and candy. But the Nutcracker at the Skowhegan Opera House this Thanksgiving Weekend, featuring fifteen MCI students, representing seven US states in a cast of forty dancers – Andrei Bossov’s new, revised Nutcracker – was made specifically to suit Skowhegan’s classic old Opera House. Andrei is from St. Petersburg where the Nutcracker was born; and he is a traditionalist. The bees are back! In Andrei’s new Nutcracker we are back to the future. Many, many bees populate Andrei’s revised Land of the Sweets, little eightyear-old bees, one little boy bee, teenaged bees, and even a virtuoso Queen Bee, portrayed on alternate performances by Charlotte Hovey ’12 and Mollie Sharples ’13. The many sweets that make Nutcracker Christmas are back, as well; the Spanish Chocolate, French Marzipan, Chinese Tea, Arabian Coffee, and Russian Roasted Sugar. All is topped off, of course, with daring leaps and manly turns by a handsome prince, Renato De Leon ’14. scary. There is the traditional chase scene through the snow – Mouse King in hot pursuit of girl turned princess and nutcracker doll turned prince. The snow scene is always my favorite – indispensable! Ballerinas in white tutus, becoming the snow flakes that foil the evil Mouse King by covering the tracks of the loving couple. The magic of Christmas restores the old toymaker’s business, and assures his continued livelihood without fear of eviction after all. Gifts are bestowed on him by his landlord, Dr. Stahlbaum and the Stahlbaum family – miracle gifts that he first beheld in his dream about the Land of the Sweets. Suffice it to say, neither Dickens’ Scrooge turned into a happy and generous Christmas well-wisher, nor Cervantes’ Man of La Mancha in his final chorus of “Dream the Impossible Dream” can top what comes to pass to uplift Herr Drosselmeier on Christmas. Like the Romanov family 119 years ago, Bossov’s audiences this year go home humming the tunes and singing the songs, with the assurance of the honeybees, that sweetness and honey will dwell in the Land of the Sweets, forever. Back to the future and another change: Andrei’s revised Nutcracker is a Christmas miracle that rescues an aging down-andout toymaker, Drosselmeier. Just when things are their bleakest, money running out, old age setting in, toys losing their luster, and seeming certain eviction for non- So, Andrei Bossov has done it payment of rent. Dream-like, his again. As a soloist who danced the toys come to life, some good, some Nutcracker in the same Maryinski Theatre where the Imperial Family first beheld it, as a choreographer who made ballets for the dancers of the same 271-year-old ballet company that performed for the Tsar, Andrei has the authority as well as the creativity to make change that while original, is at once traditional as well. No other Ballet Master whom I know of in this country can do that. Wherever they go in life, regardless of whether they dance professionally or never dance another step, MCI students who studied with Bossov will carry with them a deep appreciation of the rich culture of ballet. For some, it may mean simply more enjoyment at the theater. Others may write as critics. Others will pass the love of dance on to their children – and stories about Andrei, and what is was like, taking ballet from an internationally known artist. For those who join professional companies, the name Bossov will stand out on their résumés. Handed down the generations from the Court of Louis XIV of France and then, through the international malaise of masters who were drawn to Russia in the 18th and 19th centuries – Petipa, Cechetti – then native Russians of the 20th and 21st centuries – Fokine, Pavlova, Vaganova, Baryshnikov, and Bossov, himself – all of them, will leave a mark in the hearts and minds of our grads. By Col. Michael D. Wyly Defining Leadership A s the student leadership group on campus, MCI’s Student Council is taking this year’s School theme of Leadership: Service to and Sacrifice for others very seriously. At the beginning of this school year, the Student Council ratified a new constitution, one that redefined its role at the school to be more centered on student culture and student voice. A dedicated group of officers spent hours during the summer (and last spring) discussing the change, considering implications and deciding how to present to the full Council the goals and the paradigm shift that led to the new constitution. The new constitution also directly challenges the Student Council members to be leaders with their classmates and to accept the personal responsibility that accompanies leadership roles. In addition, the Student Council has split the traditional Student of the Month award into two awards: the Academic Student of the Month and the Student Leadership Recognition Award. Students nominated for the Leadership Award are positive role models; are active and positive school citizens; and are ethical, friendly and courteous and encourage others to be their best. They have also begun a student forum to give the student body increased opportunity to have a voice in what is happening on campus. After learning about the many changes that are taking place on campus as the students redefine and revamp leadership roles, we were motivated and inspired to look further into the topic of leadership here at MCI and asked the following questions of some influential leaders in the MCI community: What is your favorite MCI memory? Who was the most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI (faculty member, coach, etc.)? What does leadership mean to you (how do you define leadership)? Please relate an MCI experience or write about what you learned at MCI that helped you to lead in some fashion later in life. As you will see through the article, MCI has actively fostered its students’ and alums’ life-long learning, character development and leadership growth by providing the knowledge, skills and experiences that benefit them over a lifetime. Allison Sinclair ’12 Student Council President, Senior Class President (Pittsfield, Me) Favorite MCI Memory: My favorite MCI memory is hosting girls from Aomori, Japan each year. It is such a wonderful opportunity to build relationships with these girls, and I will cherish their friendships forever. most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: My most influential leader in my life while at MCI would have to be Tanya Kingsbury. Not only is she the Spanish teacher here, but the Student Council advisor as well. She is such a strong woman, and has influenced the person I have become in many ways. I admire her confidence in who she is and what she believes in, and hope that I can be a strong leader just as she is. Defining leadership: To me, leadership means positively influencing those around you to make the right decisions, and if they don’t, encouraging them to do better next time. Experiences at MCI that will help me to lead later in life: At MCI, I have learned that being an effective communicator is one of the most important qualities someone can possess. The best thing to do is talk to people one-on-one. In doing so, you will build stronger relationships than you can imagine. Human interaction makes the greatest impact.

To single out one in particular, I would mention the headmaster, Edward R. Stanley, who set a tone of decorum, civility, hard work, and high expectation. When I talk with MCI friends or read about what alumni are doing in their lives and communities, I see how much the ethic of work and service has permeated the lives of so many of us who were really privileged to be part of that sort of educational community. Defining leadership: I think balance, empathy, and respect were values that were conveyed through work and play, classroom and extracurricular, town and out of town, day in day out, give and take (or take and give), trying to understand the perspective and concerns of others. I was once advised by one of my mentors never to take an administrative position because anything I did could be reversed. It wasn’t advice I followed, but advice I have never forgotten. I think what endures may be the values framework one creates that allows others to succeed, rather than any specific accomplishment. Leadership is more about communicating a vision for a better organization, though taking the hard decisions may contribute to that understanding. Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: I think the Manson Essay was a much more formative experience than I realized at the time. All those steps were wonderful preparation for big projects to follow: deciding on a topic, consultation with supervisor, reading and more reading, stacks of 3x5 index cards, organizing, outlining, writing, and rewriting and rewriting, preparing for oral presentation, memorizing, meeting the deadline, facing anxiety, mastering anxiety, overcoming procrastination, facing the lights, facing the music, reconsidering. Breaking down big projects into lots of bite size chunks was an important lesson that has served well in preparation for many things to come and a reminder that big projects can be broken down into manageable bits. “When I talk with MCI friends or read about what alumni are doing in their lives and communities, I see how much the ethic of work and service has permeated the lives of so many of us who were really privileged to be part of that sort of educational community.” Joo Yi ’98 Team Manager, Tencent (Seoul, Korea) Favorite MCI Memory: Senior year, Winter Carnival where I believe we built Disney sculptures (Mickey and Donald) to take the win. Loads and loads of snow made it tough but lots of fun as well. most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Mrs. Deb Rozeboom - mentor, inspiration, host mom, AP English teacher, American Mom Defining leadership: A leader to me is someone that leads by example. The inspirational part is actually witnessing how that leader treats those around him/her. Just telling someone to do something or act a certain way doesn’t really motivate people unless the leaders themselves are actually practicing what they preach. Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: Being a foreigner, the cozy town of Pittsfield and the atmosphere of MCI has instilled the importance of a close-knit community and how good it feels to belong somewhere. The memories and friendships I have made at MCI have definitely made me grow as a person and for that I will always be grateful. Fall / Winter 2012 13 Defining Leadership Judith Vacchina ’62 President, Amazatto Foods (Pleasanton, CA) Peter Cianchette ’79 Favorite MCI Memory: 1960, when Mrs. Sinclair appointed a few of us from her class to escort U.S. Senator Margaret Chase Smith from another class to ours. Talk about feeling special, we knew just how important she was as Mrs. Sinclair had done a fine job of telling us. most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Mrs. Sinclair, she was stern, kind and caring. She was meticulous of herself and our class. There was a special elegance about her. Others were Mr. Cunningham, Mrs. Sidelinger and Mrs. Pottle. Each one of these teachers was at MCI because they loved teaching. Defining leadership: Leadership to me, means being able to facilitate people to find their best strength to achieve their goals, and building confidence. Some people need to be led requiring each step to be dictated and some thrive with free reign. Knowing the difference is the key to good leadership. Be patient, kind and understand it takes time to find your place. My mother always said “kindness, you get more with honey than vinegar.” She was right. Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: I think we had excellent instructors, people who cared and took their job seriously. Our classes were small and we had the attention we needed. I was too young to appreciate what we had and, to be honest, if I had paid more attention I would have learned a lot more. I’ve been very lucky. Vice President of Business Development, Cianbro former United States Ambassador to Costa Rica (South Portland, ME) Favorite MCI Memory: I was proud to be a part of MCI and have so many fond memories of my time there – the excitement of earning leadership positions in our class or sports, starting in my first varsity football game, ski team trips to Aroostook County, Winter Carnival, the fellowship of Key Club, and being inspired by some really great teachers (although it might have been years later when I truly realized they had inspired me!) Looking back, what is most prominent in my mind is the sense of respect between the diverse student body, those students and the faculty, and the school as a whole with Pittsfield. most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Headmaster Harry “Pinky” True Defining leadership: I’ve always subscribed to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s theory: “Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.” At the time, I never could have imagined how the opportunities I had at MCI to experience and practice leadership skills would serve my life in so many ways. Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: MCI has a unique relationship with Pittsfield, and no doubt serves to strengthen the strong sense of community which exists in the Central Maine area. It was there I first began to understand that once you have the privilege to experience true community, that you have an obligation to give back to it. To this day, I credit growing up in Pittsfield and my time at MCI, coupled with the teachings of my parents, for what has been an important part of my life: a strong belief in public service and the desire to work to improve our communities. “I’ve always subscribed to President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s theory: ‘Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.’” Dean Homstead ’69 Owner, Bud’s Shop ’n Save Supermarkets (Pittsfield, ME) 14 Alumnus Magazine Favorite MCI Memory: Meeting new people, making lifelong friendships, being exposed to new experiences and cultures and watching and participating in the growth of the School are my favorite memories of MCI, both as a student and as a trustee. It would be hard to carve out one favorite memory. It has been the whole MCI experience. most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: Although there were many influential leaders while I attended MCI, David Mosher stands out as the most influential one. He was a great educator, a very genuine individual, always willing to help others and share interesting stories with his students. He bridged the gap between educator and student and without compromising his leadership role. Defining leadership: Respecting others, sharing knowledge, being inclusive, offering opportunities whenever possible and trying to make the best decisions is how I define leadership. Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: While at MCI, I learned to go the extra mile in order to resolve differences and to respect the fact that others may have different views. This came about when MCI and the District split for two years. Dr. Susan Haseltine ’67 Retired, Associate Director for Biology, U.S. Geological Survey (Oakton, VA) Dr. Risha Moskalewicz ’01 Second year pediatric resident, University of California San Francisco (San Francisco, CA) Favorite MCI Memory: Surprisingly, one of my favorite MCI memories is sitting in Latin class and contemplating the “Putate” sign that Mrs. Earle had posted behind her desk. This quote seems to mesh with what my whole MCI experience gave me the ability to do. Whether Humanities Colloquium, trying to decipher that Hamlet text in English, studying Russian history as opposed to the US, or figuring out what liquids to combine in chemistry, everyone emphasized expanding your thoughts and discovering more than one way to get to a solution or different understanding of the situation. most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: There were so many excellent teachers and mentors at MCI while I attended – Mr. Lewis made literature and the beauty of the written word appreciated even before content; Mr. Bradshaw and Mr. Bartlett made history come alive so that you wanted to see the rest of the world; Mr. Stanley and Mr. Dana were always ready with advice and counsel with just enough humor to carry the day. But I would have to say that Mr. Gil Spear, who taught me geometry, was the most influential. He had a disability and came to class every day in his wheelchair, used the devices of the day - crude by modern standards to communicate effectively and was such a great teacher that he made plane geometry interesting! He was an inspiration and a spur to all of us to use our abilities and make our way in the world. Defining leadership: Leadership can come in many forms, but one must have a clear, long-term vision of a goal or destination to lead. If that vision is comprehensive and consistent, then leadership requires communication and inspiration to other folks who can help reach the goal. It also requires a clear set of values and standards of what is acceptable in dealing with the rest of the community while striving toward the goal. All for one must be put in a one benefiting all perspective. Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: At MCI, we were always encouraged to expand our horizons and try new things. One of the things I did was to sign up for a college course in physics at the University of Maine one summer. It turned out that you needed calculus to succeed in this course and the MCI students were not prepared for that skill. So several of the math teachers at MCI pooled their skills and traveled to Orono several nights a week to give us a concentrated tutorial in calculus. This lesson of striving to the goal even if you have to fill in some holes with extra work, or of not giving up just because one part of effort is not going so well, has been repeated over and over in my professional career. All substantial dreams and goals have tough spots and require much effort with other people over the long term. MCI and the people there taught us we were up to those challenges and that the rewards of accomplishment were well worth pursuing. Dr. Moskalewicz at a pediatric clinic in Ethiopia “The most meaningful thing I can say about leadership is this: You can only become a leader when you are passionate about the cause.” Carlton Pendleton ’66 President and CEO, Sweetser (Saco, ME) Favorite MCI Memory: There isn’t only one favorite memory – I certainly made great acquaintances, I was fortunate to be learning from instructors of excellence. This was the time and place to find one’s talents. most influential “leader” in your life while at MCI: The headmaster, Mr. Stanley, was honest, open and always visible. A great role model! Defining leadership: A leader is someone who consistently thinks outside of the box and has a clear view of the future. Leadership is having the ability to communicate effectively and to mentor a diverse group of people to work together toward common goals, resulting in success! Experiences at MCI that helped me to lead later in life: MCI, during my years, reinforced my family values, helped me to better focus on my potential and what the future might hold. It provided me with great academic preparation for university/college work and the post-grad year was a real springboard to future accomplishments.

Fall / Winter 2012 17 Update on the Strategic Plan 2010-15 Maine Central Institute will provide a 21st Century curriculum which provides students with excellent academic, analytic, and collaborative and wellness skills to excel in post-secondary endeavors. The School will develop a self-contained “9th grade academy” to support the transition from middle school to high school. ~ MCI Strategic Plan 2010-15 With significant academic and social changes between middle school and high school, the 9th grade is a pivotal year for students. This transitional year often necessitates additional resources and a high level of personalized support from peers, families and teachers. To help address that need, MCI created the Transitions Academy, a three-week program that takes place before the start of the school year. This program helps students with the anxiety of a new campus as well as with new, increased academic and social requirements. While the Transitions Academy has been a great success, the need for greater, longterm support of 9th grade students was determined by MCI’s strategic planning process. The strategic plan recommended that the School “develop a self-contained ‘9th grade academy’ to support the transition from middle school to high school.” The Academy needed to continue throughout the school year, allow for greater communication among faculty members, and better promote strong study and organizational skills. As a result of the Strategic Plan, a committee of parents, SAD 53 and MCI staff was formed last spring to design the new 9th Grade Academy. 18 What is the 9th Grade Academy? The 9th Grade Academy consists of a core team of four faculty specialists who teach only 9th grade students. The specialists, English teacher Abigail Hartford, history teacher Jeremy Taylor, math teacher Jaime Kearney, and science teacher Jessica Talbot, work together as a unit to plan classes and discuss their students’ needs. One of the benefits of the academy model is that it gives the specialists a common preparatory time that allows for curriculum planning across all studies. While the students can choose from the same courses and electives as 9th graders in previous years, they now have the added benefit of a team of faculty who are focused on providing consistency across the curriculum. This model also gives the faculty regular time to discuss students and focus on those who are struggling. Because the faculty members are able to discuss how a student is doing in a more holistic manner, they are quickly able to recognize students who need additional support and create and execute plans that provide specifically what the students need. “We have done some really great interventions with students, giving them academic support or even recommending that they talk with the School’s personal counselor,” Hartford explained. “We are able to put more plans in place because we are much more aware of what is happening with our students. Because all four of us are on board, there is a much greater chance that the plan will be implemented successfully.” Alumnus Magazine Jaime Kearney uses her smartboard in her Algebra I CP course. In addition to increased communication among the faculty specialists, there are also new academic programs or supports in place. Each specialist holds an “open classroom” once a week during lunch to provide students a time to see a teacher for additional help and also time to complete their homework. The Academy features structured study halls with options to take an enrichment reading class or a “focus” class that enhances study and organizational skills. Students can be shifted in and out of the reading and focus classes as their needs change. The Academy is also focusing on improving technology skills and incorporating technology more into their curriculum. To help accomplish this, the faculty recently started using iPads in the classroom. The Academy is hoping to become a pilot program for the one-to-one computing program the School has envisioned in the Strategic Plan. Kearney uses an interactive The 9th Grade Team Abigail Hartford - English * Jaime Kearney - Math * Jessica Talbot - Science * Jeremy Taylor - History Alumni News smartboard in her math classes and the faculty all work to encorporate multimedia presentations and other technology-mediated tools that grab the students’ interest. “What we are teaching is still the same but we are now gaining the capabilities to help students learn in ways they are interested,” explained Talbot. “Most students already have a base level of technical knowledge. We want to propel them forward to a higher level.” Already, the faculty specialists are seeing improvements. “I have a chance to make a huge impact during this transitional period in a 9th grade student’s life,” says Taylor. “It is rewarding to see both my and the students’ hard work pay off.” Though the students have only “I have a chance to make a huge impact during this transitional period in a 9th grade student’s life. It is rewarding to see both my and the students’ hard work pay off.” completed the first quarter of the school year, failure rates have already decreased compared to previous years. Like the 9th grade students finding their way through their first year of high school, the core team is tweaking and enhancing the 9th Grade Academy as they learn what works best. “This is all new to us,” said Hartford. “We are slowly bringing in new pieces and improving.” Plans to add a mathematics enrichment class are already being discussed for next year, and Kearney and Talbot are talking about the potential for team-teaching math and science courses. The core team is excited about the possibilities and the benefits that the Academy offers. As Hartford states, “We are four people who want to be here helping students. We want to do this. We chose to do this.” (L) Terrance Frederick ’61 (center) after receiving his diploma from Headmaster Chris Hopkins and Norb Young ’66. (R) Nancy Mercier McGinnis ’61 receives her diploma from Headmaster Hopkins. MCI Alumni Receive Honorary Diplomas Nancy Mercier McGinnis ’61 and Terrance Frederick ’61 both attended MCI but due to circumstances beyond their control, had to leave before receiving their diplomas. Though they have always been considered alumni by their classmates and the School, in honor of their 50th Reunion, Headmaster Chris Hopkins was delighted to present Frederick and McGinnis with honorary diplomas. “It was with great honor and delight that on behalf of the past and present boards of trustees, I conferred diplomas to these two loyal Maine Central Institute alums,” he said. MCI Welcomes New Board of Trustee Members MCI is pleased to welcome new trustees Susan Smith England ’73 of Rhode Island, Jeffrey Hathorn ’64 of Florida and David MacGown ’86 of New York to the Board. England, Hathorn and MacGown join 27 other board members and offer a wealth of experience and dedication to the School. For a full listing of the Board, please see page 3. Pattersons offer 2-for-1 Challenge to the MCI Community Trustees Gregg ’69 and Elaine Patterson, who care deeply about MCI’s students, have stepped forward to offer The Patterson Challenge - a two-for-one $50,000 matching challenge to all MCI alumni and community members. For every additional $1 contributed to the Annual Fund, the Pattersons will provide $2 to the School’s endowment. “We have always been supportive of the outstanding programs MCI offers and the terrific faculty, staff, and administrators who serve the students,” the Pattersons explained. “But delivering those programs and services requires funding, especially Annual Fund gifts and unrestricted Endowment gifts which go straight to the ‘bottom line’ of the operating budget. We created the Patterson Challenge to encourage MCI alumni and friends to join us in taking the Annual Fund to a new level. The dollars that we all contribute translate directly into more opportunities for MCI students now and in the future.” This generous initiative will help advance the School’s strategic direction of growing both the Annual Fund and MCI’s endowment, both of which are critical to the quality of the MCI experience.
