From the HeadmasterFORTY YEARS AGO, McCallie’s headmaster could not have written a letter to the donors of the school’s endowment for the simple reason that McCallie did not have an endowment.

Today we do, and I am honored to thank you for helping to make that possible. It takes a special kind of person to understand the importance of an endow-

ment. Lots of people understand new buildings or new fields. Fewer appreci-ate the long range impact of a healthy endowment. I am very grateful that you do.

During these challenging economic times, the family of funds that com-prise our endowment have significantly benefitted the school in two ways. First, the income from the unrestricted portion has given us the flexibility to respond to the growing requests for need-based financial aid. There are dozens of talented, deserving boys who would no longer be enrolled if the school had been unable to help. Second, the income from the restricted portion gave us the incen-tive and the funds to keep programs intact which less fortunate schools have had to eliminate.

Your generosity and your long-range vision are felt every day. Sincerely,

R. Kirk Walker, Jr. Ph.D. ’69

STUDENTS

GRADUATE: When I first heard about McCallie, I wasn’t too interested until I saw the rankings of the lacrosse team. McCallie was worth a visit. Yet, as soon as I started getting excited about the idea of boarding school, my mom thought she had saved herself from becoming an empty nester by authoritatively telling me, “Son, we could never afford it.”

MOM: I kept playing the numbers in my head – how could we afford to send one child to an out-of-state college and enroll our son at McCallie and still make the house payment? What could be so special about this school? I wasn’t ready. But other parents tell you the

benefits of the sacrifice and you start making the mental transition from “my baby needs me” to “my son needs McCallie.”

it not been for merit scholarships and financial aid, I never would have tread. I am endlessly thankful to have attended McCallie.

MOM: We had invested a lot of our lives in our kids, and McCallie picked up the baton and helped us continue the race. There are great teachers in most schools, but there are so many great teachers at McCallie. We couldn’t have done it without people like Chet LeSourd, or Rev. Ed, or Mr. Mancke, or the Nichols, or the Newmans, or Miss Tina in the dining hall, or the nurses at the infirmary and so many others. It does take a village to raise a child – no

GRADUATE: McCallie allowed me opportunities like heart research, being vice-president of a leadership organiza-tion with a $20,000 budget, traveling to different continents, living in an honor-based community as an independent young man, having an AP chemistry teacher who wrote the exams, and view-ing teachers as friends.

GRADUATE: I found out in early March that I had won a full merit scholarship “with the kitchen sink” to Georgia Tech, my dream school. I am confident that I wouldn’t have been able to win the President’s Scholar-ship without my McCallie experience. McCallie faculty, friends and donors, thank you so much for playing an inte-gral part in making me fall in love with this town, this school, and the people like you who make it what it is.

Samaritan’s Feet Service Trip to PeruA Letter to Donors

To those who helped me take such a journey,

Thank you for giving me the funds required to go on the Samari-tan’s Feet trip to Peru. It was one of the best weeks of my life, not because of what I was able to do, but who I was able to reach. Without you, I would not have been able to console a little girl. She was crying after she got her shoes because she didn’t want to leave. She was sit-ting next to her sister and didn’t want to leave her side. Their parents had been in a messy divorce, and this was the first time they saw each other in several months. Being able to pray for them in Spanish, thanks to my Spanish teacher, Mr. George Dyer, and ask them about their dreams was more than I could ever have asked.

This upcoming summer, I’m planning on taking up an offer given by the missionary we met there last year to return and stay with his family while we do missionary work. Thanks to you, my life has been changed for the better; you have given me the opportunity to return and foster relationships started on that trip. If not for your help, I would not be the man I am today. I would not have seen true poverty and the joy glistening in the eyes of little kids when they see their new shoes.

Thank you for all you have given me and the opportunity to change the world, including myself.

With sincerest thanks, Jackson Tyler Houston ’13

FACULTY FUNDSClimbing the Summits of Romanticism: Mount Blanc, Eiger, and the MatterhornMichael Lowry, Physics/Chemistry/Biology TeacherIn his grant proposal, Michael noted, “I have to demonstrate how it will reju-venate me as an educator and what kind of return McCallie can expect on its investment.” His award led to climbing the highest peaks in Europe and explor-ing how the Romantic period in art, literature and music was deeply influenced by the natural world, particularly the stunning realm of the Alps. “This grant was about putting me way outside my comfort zone,” he said. “I can connect it directly to my work in the classroom.”

Meeting MichelangeloLynn Winningham, Art TeacherHaving long been a fan of Michelangelo’s work and place in history, Lynn want-ed an experience far beyond the art books. Her trip to Florence, Rome and Venice left her fascinated with the sense of scale and beauty unmatched by photographs in a book. “I just had to go to his world to see and feel it for my-self,” she noted. “Now I am able to share fully with my students the wonder and the talent of Michelangelo.” The trip also inspired Lynn to develop a new art history class.

Cosmopolitanism: Ethics in a World of Strangers – Exploring the PossibilitiesEd Snow, Chair of Christian EthicsWith a goal to explore the concept that “the ideology that all human ethnic groups belong to a single community based on a shared morality,” Rev. Snow traveled to China to discover how that culture is taking ancient traditions and applying them to the complexities of modern life. The trip fulfilled all expecta-tions. “I came back rejuvenated and excited,” he said. “I’ve already had plenty of situations where my experiences with the grant have turned into something really good with the students.”

On the Trail of Lewis & ClarkBart Wallin ’99, Middle School History Teacher“Steinbeck had Charley; I have my father to go on a lifetime’s adventure,” wrote Bart Wallin in his grant application. Traveling in some of the same footsteps as that famous journey, Bart and his dad climbed Mt. Hood, walked the final leg of Lewis and Clark’s trek to the sea, and explored Crater Lake. Not only did he create a rich personal experience with his dad, but Bart came home with a great lesson for his students. He shared, “Take risks! I can encourage students to take risks and still feel secure trusting their teachers.”su

FACULTY

IT WAS 1974, and I drove from Vanderbilt to Chattanooga to inter-view for a math teaching job. I was honest in the interview, saying I had never planned to teach high school and that my goal was to get back to Vandy to take another crack at my dissertation. At the end, Spencer McCallie said, “You are the first of three people we are interviewing for this position. We’ll get back to you in two or three weeks.”

Two weeks passed. Then three. Then four. Finally I decided to call. To the best of my recollection, the conver-sation went something like this:

“Hello, Mr. McCallie. This is Lance Nickel.”

“Do I know you?”“I interviewed for a math teaching

job four weeks ago.”“Oh yes, Vance.” (He did call me

Vance.) “I’ve been meaning to call you. Here’s where we are: we don’t believe you’ll be happy teaching high school; and then you’ll leave after a year, and we will have to do this all over again next year. But, the other two guys turned us down, so if you promise you’ll stay for two years, I guess we’ll offer you a con-tract.”

With that overwhelming vote of confidence, three weeks later I was teaching Algebra II in McCallie Sum-mer School. I was telling this story to a couple of guys in the dorm, and one of them asked a very perceptive ques-tion, “So,” he asked, “do you have any regrets?” I was stopped in my tracks. I couldn’t give him an honest answer. I had never thought about it.

In the mid-1980s, the McCal-lie faculty embarked on what I believe is the closest we have ever come to a school-wide investigation of a central theme. We asked, What is learning and what constitutes masterful teaching at McCallie School? Out of those investi-gations and discussions came a profes-

sional development program and a mentor program that was nationally recognized and envied. We had some mentors ourselves in our quest for answers. In a time when checklists were being developed across the na-tion to evaluate teaching, David Pur-pel taught us checklists don’t mat-ter. He said it is far more critical for schools to discover what is important to teach. We stumbled upon Joseph Lowman and his book, Mastering the Techniques of Teaching, which became our bible for several years. In his book, Lowman describes a two-dimensional model of masterful teaching. He says the master teacher must score high in two domains: in-tellectual excitement and interper-sonal rapport.

Interpersonal rapport creates an atmosphere where students are com-fortable and can learn. It is an envi-ronment where they have a stake in their own education and are motivat-ed to learn. In the best of all worlds, they want to learn simply because of their personal connection with the teacher.

But in my opinion, it is the other dimension, intellectual excitement, where we really catch our students’ at-tention – when they see us as lifelong

learners, when they see our passion for our disciplines, when they see us read-ing books for pleasure, when they see us having discussions. And that is what I am going to miss most when I leave McCallie School. I’ll miss the thou-sands of conversations I have had with many of you about not only mathemat-ics, but also science, linguistics, history, politics, current events, economics, you name it. I believe modeling academic passion for our guys is the one tool we all possess that will impact the quality of life of our students for years to come.

David Purpel also taught us that schools are incapable of listing priori-ties. Rather, he said, schools vote pri-orities according to how they spend their dollars and how they utilize fac-ulty time. Please invest time and dol-lars in professional excitement. I am convinced that I became a math major primarily to see what my master teach-er, Dr. Donald Pilgrim, was so excited about. I would be delighted if even one of my students chose his path because of something he saw in me.

Oh, and by the way. I went back to that guy in the dorm who asked what, at that time, for me was an unanswer-able question. I wanted him to know, and I want you to know…no, I don’t have any regrets.

TELEVIS ION, IT HAS BEEN said, can be very influential. Gordon Connell can vouch for that statement.

While watching “Ancient Aliens” on the History Channel last summer, Mr. Connell says he was blown away during a segment on Machu Picchu. The ruins of Machu Picchu, consid-ered one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, are the intricate remains of an ancient Incan civilization high in the Andes Mountains of Peru. Much of the stone structure of a city, dating back to at least the early 1400s, is intact, revealing small clues about one of Earth’s mysterious societies.

“I was mesmerized by this TV show where Machu Picchu was the masterpiece of ancient structures,” the Middle School science teacher says. “How did they come about 3,000 years ago? How could they get 50 ton rocks to a place up on a mountain,

rocks that are so perfectly cut that you can’t slide a razor blade in between the joints?”

Mr. Connell traveled to Peru in mid-July on a travel and renewal grant and made the trek to this mountain-top civilization to see the remark-able site and stonework firsthand.The journey to Machu Picchu covered five days including a four-day hike from the starting point of Cuzco, Peru.Mr. Connell, who has visited all 50 states, considers himself an experi-enced traveler. Before his trip to Ma-chu Picchu, he had never ventured south of the Equator.

“I’ve done a lot of traveling, but Machu Picchu may be the ultimate experience because it is such an in-credible place,” he says. “It was truly everything I hoped it would be and one of those things that I will remem-ber forever.”
