Dear Friends,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
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

WHY MAKING MATTERSI 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
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.
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.

FIRST IN FLIGHTI was thrilled to see the picture of my 3A class on page 2 and its link to the article “Why Making Matters.” However, the photograph is of a model of the Wright Brothers’ Flyer, not Charles Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. Joe Dubb’s 3C class built a gorgeous Spirit. The 3A and 3C kids,
now steeped in the history of flight, would appreciate a correction, I am sure. Meanwhile, the magazine just gets better and better. Thanks.

Lower School Science Teacher

Many Friends’ Central alumni/ae joined the Upper School Chorus for one final song with
longtime director Jim Davis.
CAMPUS LOG
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 Charter High School for the Performing Arts where she taught music theory and history, provided lessons in piano and voice, and assisted in forming music curricula for grades 9-12. Zuckman earned a BFA in vocal performance and musical education at Carnegie Mellon University and a master’s in choral conducting and music education at Westminster Choir College.

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.

“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.
In her professional career, Joanne served as Associate Head of School at Concord Academy in Concord, Mass., Director of Admission and Academic Dean at The Ethel Walker School in Simsbury, Conn., and, most recently, served as Head of School at Moses Brown School, a nationally known Quaker school in Providence, R.I. for 15 years. While at Moses Brown, Joanne launched two strategic plans, the first culminated in a $26.2 million fundraising campaign that enabled extensive campus improvements. The second set goals for the school through 2012 and included extending foreign language instruction to Kindergarten, improving technology efforts, implementing more environmentally sustainable practices on campus, and expanding its global education initiatives. After she announced
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 Academy in Boston, Mass., and serving on the board of
Axis of Hope, an international conflict-resolution organization, also in Boston. Beacon Academy provides eighth graders who are smart and motivated, yet academically under-served, with a jump year to prepare for admission to independent schools and the rigorous curriculum that will follow. Axis of Hope teaches conflict analysis, management, and prevention to youth and educators worldwide. Joanne says, “The desire to work at Beacon and Axis of Hope stemmed from the values internalized in me from working at Moses Brown. Quaker education has shaped who I am and what I do.”
Joanne is excited about leading Friends’ Central during this time of transition. She shares that

“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.”
An Exciting Time of
T R A N S I T I O N
11fall/winter 2011 magazine
although people often feel that times of transition are risky, she believes that times of transition are exciting because there is a dynamic and hopeful quality of movement involved. Joanne explains that
“the word ‘transition’ suggests going from one place to another while holding onto sustaining values that have made a school what it is. While remaining true to its Quaker roots, Friends’ Central School will also look toward a bright future through new eyes.”
Joanne began her tenure as Friends’ Central’s Interim Head of School on July 5. She immediately went to work, immersing herself in the culture of FCS by getting to know the administration and staff. While embodying the practice of respecting the past and looking toward the future, she invited “special guest” David Felsen to her first staff meeting. At the impromptu gathering, Joanne and David shared their mutual admiration for one another, and everyone present could see that Friends’ Central would be in good hands.
In another order of business, Joanne had her first official photo shoot as leader of Friends’ Central. While jokingly
describing the glare of her white hair in the sun, a glimpse of her true personality shined through. Next to the detail-oriented, focused, measured Head of School was a charming, charismatic, familiar side that draws others in. However, nothing brought more delight to her face than when she stopped to have her photo taken with some young summer campers. That was when the real Joanne came to life. She was completely engaged in
conversation with these third and fourth graders, and one could immediately see why Joanne was drawn to Friends’ Central and why Friends’ Central chose Joanne. Intelligent, compassionate, involved—she is an educator steeped in those values that make up a successful and vibrant Quaker school, a fitting leader to guide Friends’ Central through this hopeful time of transition.

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

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.”
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, andyour 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

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.

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.
- Dan Weiser ’76
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
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.

REUNION REFLECTIONS
1934Sarah Wallis Stevens writes, “My usual plans to divide the year between Old Saybrook, Conn., and Jensen Beach, Fla., were frustrated last winter because in early November I fell and broke the femur of my right leg. Rehab and a month in assisted living delayed my move south until March, where I stayed until May.” Her family is planning a party in September to celebrate her 95th birthday! “Six children, nine grandkids, and five ‘greats’ should make it a memorable affair,” she adds.

He is the treasurer of the American Museum of Miniature Arts, a non-profit museum, where he gives illustrated talks on irises, colonial furniture, and opera. Russ has lived in Dallas for 37 years and retired 1989 after working for DuPont for 40 years. He has two children and eight grandchildren. In his spare time, he enjoys working in his garden.
1947Brigitte Solmitz Alexander meets Martha Schmidheiser DuBarry ’44 almost daily at the pool at Kendal-Crosslands in Kennett Square. She also sees Mollie Jones Kline ’51 and Bill Ravdin ’46, who live there. “The upbeat atmosphere and the mutual respect remind me of Friends’ Central,” she writes. “If you want to experience once more the good sides of your high school experience, come live in a Quaker retirement community.”
1948Jack Banks threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Florida Marlins game in May, a result of his being the highest bidder at an auction for the benefit of the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital
1943Dorothy Coleman Dangerfield is busy running her household, which includes her husband, Ben, and her granddaughter, who has two sons, ages 3 and 4. “It is a most interesting life for us!” she writes. “We still do a bit of traveling, and went to Costa Rica in June. Ben and I allowed our son and his wife to take the zip line without us.”

He writes, “The last time I threw a baseball was in 1946, when I was centerfielder and third-string pitcher for the FCS Varsity Baseball team (who was Inter-Ac League co-champions) … Unfortunately, my pitch was low and inside. But glorious! Does life begin at 81? This day it did.” Banks currently resides in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

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.”
1953Frank James and his wife, Dell, celebrated their 50th wedding 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 the first and graduated in 1929. We are proud of Keira and predict that she will love the school, the only college to which she applied,” he notes.
1954Bob Jansen lives in Saline, Mich. He is a retired pastor and still helps at his local church.

The mission of Avow is to provide quality end of life care to patients whereby they are pain free, spiritually nourished, and die with a sense of dignity and purpose to their lives. The health care provider also offers grief counseling and bereavement services to the families of the patients.
1959Dick and Bonnie Forster Richardscelebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on August 5. They met at FCS in second grade, started dating in ninth grade and have made a wonderful life together. Their three sons, Whit, David, and Drew, planned a surprise party for them at a nearby resort. All the guests, including their seven grandchildren, kept the secret, and Bonnie and Dick were overwhelmed by the love-filled occasion.
1960Rich Ulmer is president and CEO of InVitro International in Irvine, Calif. His company, which develops and commercializes non-animal test kits and laboratory services, participated in the Eighth Annual World Congress of Non-Animal Testing Methods in Montreal last August. Ulmer also writes that his first granddaughter is just about to start her sophomore year at UC Santa Cruz. “Needless to say,” he writes, “we don’t feel old enough to have her that far along in school yet. Fondest greetings to all the Class of ’60, and let’s start thinking about a follow up to our great 50th Reunion … how about a 55th?”

1964Martin Crabtree writes, “I have felt indebted to the values and education I received at FCS. As a result, my parents and I became attenders of Radnor Friends Meeting. In 1975 I returned to Switzerland and became a high school teacher of 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 every three weeks in our area. In a delicate and inoffensive way I have endeavored to impart the importance of as much peace as is humanly possible into the minds of my students, as well as the merits of a simple way of life. I wish all of my contemporaries everything they need for the future, and I wish FCS, its students, and faculty and staff, all the blessings they need!”

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.”

I couldn’t believe I had just watched someone jump from a plane. The first three seconds are pretty scary then you relax and enjoy the free fall. I laughed most of the time. Once the chute was

Jordan Rubin ’98
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.

The Heart of Quaker WorksAlumni/ae Giving
Sarah Brown ’07
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.

The Heart of Quaker Works
Planned Giving – The Blackburn SocietyFrank 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.
We welcome with thanks the following people who joined the Blackburn Society this year:

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.
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.
If you would like to inform us of your intention to include Friends’ Central School in your estate plans, or would like information about ways in which you can make planned gifts to Friends’ Central, please call Lydia Martin, Director of Development, at 610.645.5043 or email her at [email protected].

The Heart of Quaker WorksParent Giving and
VolunteeringDonna 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!

On March 12, the Friends’ Central community gathered to revel in Perfecting the Art of Fun, the first all-school auction in decades. With the tremendous help of 92 volunteers and 271 guests, the School raised more than $123,000 for financial aid. Friends’ Central is deeply committed to its mission of creating a diverse student body. Thank you for making an FCS education possible for talented students with financial need.
Friends’ Central events would not be successful without the support of its dedicated parent community. (From
