Coe-Brown Northwood Academy
is embarking on an exciting new pilot
project to provide laptops to next
year’s incoming freshman (the Class
of 2014). The students will use the
laptops throughout all four years of
high school. Please help us (and these
young people) with a contribution
to the 2009/2010 CBNA Annual
Campaign. Our goal is to contribute $25,000 toward the laptop pilot

and supports Coe-Brown Northwood
Academy’s ongoing commitment to
the education of its students.
Through your generosity, last
year’s campaign raised more than
$30,000. A portion of that money
will be used to buy interactive white
boards for the Academy’s classrooms.
Your donations to the Annual Campaign also help support the grant program that is made available to CBNA faculty and
staff each year. The grants cover the areas of Academics, Administration, Arts, Athletics and Vocational Education.
NOTE: We are no longer offering on-line giving
via the CBNA web site. Only a few alumni took
advantage of this option and the fees associated
with this program were extremely high, making it
cost prohibitive. We are still able to accept credit
card payments (MasterCard or Visa) on the pledge
envelopes; one is enclosed in this issue for your use.
The Annual Campaign closes June 30,
2010. Please make checks payable to CBNA

A letter from
Headmaster Smith
Dear friends,
Academic year 2009/2010 is off to a strong start. This year we welcomed 182 freshmen on
August 14 and the entire student body consists of 714 students from the towns of Northwood,
Strafford, Barrington, Nottingham, Deerfield, Concord, Laconia, Manchester, Epsom, Dunbarton
and Rochester.
I am proud to announce that Coe-Brown’s science scores in the statewide 2009 NECAP
assessment tests earned us a tie (with Bedford High School) for the second highest in the state. Our
11th graders (this year’s seniors) earned a mean score of 1138, just behind Hanover High at 1141.
Congratulations to our students, the science department faculty and the entire school as a whole.
We welcomed several new faculty members this year. William Clarke will be teaching algebra
David S. Smith
and general math, and will also be working with our basketball program. He is a recent graduate
of Keene State College. Ernesto Leonardo Gonzalez will be teaching Spanish I, II and III. Mr. Gonzalez has studied at the University
of Massachusetts at Boston, Tufts University and Emerson
College. Kathleen Hill has studied at the University of Lowell,
the University of New Hampshire, Universidad de Valladoid
(Spain) and Universidad de Costa Rica. She will be teaching

Headmaster David S. Smith was inducted into the 2009 New
Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) Hall of
Fame during the association’s Annual Hall of Fame Banquet. The
NHIAA created the Hall of Fame in 2001 as a way to recognize athletes,
administrators, athletic directors, coaches and contributors for their
extraordinary contributions to school-based interscholastic athletic
programs for New Hampshire high schools. Mr. Smith was honored for
his lengthy tenure as the Coe-Brown boys’ basketball coach.
CBNA sophomore Michaela
Horvath has been appointed to D.A.R.E.
America’s Youth Advisory Board (YAB).
The board helps to give youth perspective
and insight to D.A.R.E. and gives D.A.R.E.
graduates an opportunity to speak to issues
impacting the national and worldwide
D.A.R.E. programs. The board is composed
of 50 members, one student from each
state. Student representatives are selected
through a state-wide search. Michaela
was nominated by the Nottingham Police
Department. Members of the YAB are eligible for the $20,000 D.A.R.E.
America Scholarship upon their graduation from high school.
Michaela recently traveled to the
D.A.R.E. America Youth Advisory Board
National Conference held at the Drug
Enforcement Administration Training
Academy in Quantico, Virginia. There
she met the other Youth Advisory Board
representatives from across the country. Fortysix of the 50 states were represented and the
students participated in tours, lectures, public
speaking, games of trust and a mock drug raid,
as well as practice at the F.B.I. firing range.
Congratulations to Aidan Cecchetti
and Brianna Jean, members of the Class
of 2009, who earned AP Scholar Awards in
recognition of their exceptional achievement
on AP Exams. The College Board’s Advanced
Placement Program (AP) provides motivated
and academically prepared students with the
opportunity to take rigorous college-level
courses while still in high school, and to earn
college credit, advanced placement, or both
for successful performance on the AP Exams.
About 18 percent of the 1.6 million students
worldwide who took AP Exams performed
at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP
Scholar Award.

Rebecca M. Paine, a member of the Class of 2009, was
recently presented with CBNA’s highest agricultural honor, the
DEKALB Agricultural Accomplishment Award, sponsored by the
Monsanto Company. Rebecca received the award for excellence
in academics, leadership and agricultural work experience. Her
accomplishments include FFA chapter vice-president, Forestry
Team, Dairy Judging and Agricultural Communications State
Winner. Rebecca also placed nationally in that event under the
direction of Sarah Ward ’83, agricultural education instructor at
Coe-Brown. As the 2009 winner of this award, Rebecca’s name will
be recorded on a permanent plaque displayed at Coe-Brown.
Last April, Coe-Brown’s Concert and Select choruses received
Gold Awards at the Heritage Festival held at Endicott College.
The choruses, under the direction of CBNA music teacher David
Deardorff, have also been invited to participate in the Festival of
Gold, an invitation-only event open to elite performing groups. In
addition, three CBNA students, Jacob Brownell ’10, Philip
Shiere ’09 and Sophie Shiere ’12, were presented with the
Maestro Award for outstanding individual excellence at the festival.
The CBNA Chorus performed The Last Words of David by Randall
Thompson, Animal Crackers by Eric Whitacre and Ol’ Man River
by Jerome Kern, arranged by Russell Robinson. The Select Chorus
performed Sure on this Shining Night by Morten Lauridsen and No
Mark by Cecil Effinger.

Connie remembers taking a welding course at one point: “The
men were away fighting the war so women had to be trained to

With the declining threat to America from German and
Japanese air forces, the Army Air Forces disestablished the GOC
in 1944. The Army issued thank you letters to its volunteers,
saying, “It has been almost two and one-half years since that
Sunday in 1941 when thousands of patriotic Americans
sprang to the defense of their country by manning roundthe-clock watches at Observation Posts, Filter Centers, and
Information Centers. It is my conviction that there never existed
a more sincere and loyal group of Americans than those who
volunteered for this work.”
We are fortunate to count many Coe-Brown alumni among
this loyal group of Americans. In addition to helping on the
home front, young men from the graduating classes of the 1930s
and 1940s enlisted or were drafted into the service during World
War II. “My husband was drafted after graduation,” says Merl
Bartels, “and other classmates, like John Crummey and Lawrence
Hutchins signed up.”
Coe-Brown’s 1942 yearbook lists 34 alumni who were on
active duty at the time (although some of them never graduated,
having withdrawn from high school to join the service). Since
then, many Coe-Brown alumni have chosen to serve their
country by joining the U.S. Armed Forces. But we can’t forget
those who stayed home and did their part to help protect the
United States. As Tom Brokaw wrote in his book, The Greatest
The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, used in great numbers in World War II,
was flown by 28 countries but the name “Warhawk” was unique to
the American P-40s.
Generation, “The nation turned to its young to carry the
heaviest burden, to fight in the enemy territory and to keep
the home front secure and productive. These young men and
women were eager for the assignment. They understood what
was required of them, and they willingly volunteered for their
duty.”
Special thanks to Merl Seavey Bartels and Connie Linnell
Gates for sharing their stories!

CBNA softball team posts a winning season
The CBNA girls’ softball team had much to celebrate last spring
with a 16-4 record for the season and a second straight trip to the Class I
state championships. They faced the Portsmouth Clippers once again in
the championship game and, in a strange twist of fate, lost to the Clippers
by a score of 6 to 1—the same score as last year. But this did not dampen
the spirits of the Coe-Brown Lady Bears. Players and the coaches alike
were thrilled with the team’s accomplishments.
“Even though we had only one senior (shortstop Tia Beckwith) on
the roster,” says Coach Tenasco, “it was still an incredibly strong team.”
In fact, Tia Beckwith, who played softball for four years at CoeBrown, was named to the Foster’s Daily Democrat 2009 Softball Dream
Team. Foster’s also named Tim Tenasco its 2009 Coach of the Year.
Sisters Corinne ’12 and Nicole ’10 LeMauk were a force to be
reckoned with as pitcher and catcher, respectively.
“It’s sad we didn’t win the championship,” says Nicole. “But I’m
proud of our team.”
The entire Coe-Brown community shares that pride—way to go,
Lady Bears!

A lasting legacy:
Gift planning with Coe-Brown Northwood Academy
Coe-Brown would not be able to accomplish all of its
educational and co-curricular goals without the generous support
of our alumni and other friends of the Academy. Your gifts to the
Annual Campaign and participation in the Alumni and Friends
Golf Tournament or special efforts such as Buy a Tile or Buy a Key
(a fund set up to help with the purchase of a grand piano for CoeBrown’s music department) are vitally important to the Academy’s
current and future students.
We know it is not always easy or even possible to write a check
to Coe-Brown to support these efforts. But there are a number
of other ways that you can contribute to the Academy’s future
and, in some cases, enjoy substantial tax benefits at the same time.
As a public academy, Coe-Brown is designated as a non-profit
organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Service
tax code. This means that gifts made to the Academy are potentially
tax deductible as a charitable contribution.
Here are some charitable gift ideas that will benefit Coe-Brown
while reducing your taxable income. Gifts can be restricted to
specific funds, such as the Academy’s endowment fund, or to specific
areas such as academics, arts or athletics.
Cash Gifts
This is the most common type of charitable giving. All cash
donations are deductible if you itemize your tax return. And there
are some creative ways to make a cash gift. You can give a gift in
memory of a loved one who has passed. Or you can make a cash
donation in honor of anyone you choose on the occasion of a
birthday, graduation, anniversary or other event. What a great idea
for the person who has everything!
Don’t forget that many employers offer a matching gift
program. If you make a cash gift to Coe-Brown, your employer’s
match might double that gift! Check with your human resources
department to see if this benefit is available to you.
People often send flowers to friends and family when a loved
one passes. Why not suggest a charitable donation in lieu of flowers?
If the deceased person had a connection to Coe-Brown or placed a
high value on education, cash donations made in his or her memory
would leave a lasting legacy.
Bequests
Bequeathing a portion of your estate to a charitable organization
reduces the size of the tax burden on the estate. Bequests can be a
specific dollar amount of a percentage of your estate. Another option
is to bequeath a share of the remainder of your estate after making
provisions for your primary heirs. Gifts can also be contingent on one
or more of your heirs predeceasing you.
Beneficiary Designation
You can name Coe-Brown as the beneficiary of a life insurance
policy. Many people have employer-funded group life insurance in
addition to personal policies. If you own more insurance than you
need, or if your beneficiaries no longer need the coverage, consider
donating one or more of the policies to Coe-Brown. In many cases
you will receive an immediate income tax deduction (depending
on the type of policy contributed). You can also name Coe-Brown
as the beneficiary of a retirement account or pension plan, or of a
bank account or certificate of deposit with a “payable-on-death”
designation. As with bequests, these options are revocable and can be
changed by you at any time.
This is just a brief overview of the many options that are available
to you within the realm of charitable and planned giving. Your
financial consultant can provide information about more sophisticated
options such as charitable trusts, charitable gift annuities or gifts of
stock or property. You should always check with a professional tax
advisor before making any major decisions that could affect your
financial circumstances.
Whatever choices you make, we
hope you will consider donating to
Coe-Brown as an option. Your gift,
whether immediate or deferred, large
or small, makes a big difference!
