Daegu, South Korea
Daegu is home to the Korean
“tough guy”. It is a city that is
proud of its long tradition as a
hard-working, fun-loving place.
The people are animated and open.
It also happens to be the home of
three of Hillside’s finest students,
Aiden Yoo, Shane Cheon and Ji Ho
Kim.
Back in the day, during my
sojourn in the Far East, I had
traveled to this amazing city.
Complex bus systems, streets full
of people, sidewalk food vendors,
towering apartment buildings, and
the ever famous Woobang Land
amusement park smack dab in the
middle of the city were some of the
hallmarks of this exciting
metropolis. I recall traveling to
Daegu on sweltering hot summer
days to meet up with some expats at
Woobang Land. Along the way I
would stop for some freshly made
Korean mussels at a local food
stand. Good memories and an even
better price (about $1 US in the late
1990s).
Daegu has a fascinating natural
medical market that is a tourist
draw. The city has a simple twoline subway system that makes it
easy to get around. There is an
abundance of excellent restaurants,
a vibrant nightlife, and bright
neon-lit neighborhoods that put
Seoul and some parts of Tokyo to
shame.
Moreover, Daegu is a hub. It is
situated close to ancient Kyoungju
and Korea’s second largest city
Busan. Perhaps, if you find
yourself in this thriving city you
might want to give Shane, Ji Ho or
Aiden a call. No doubt they would
be happy to show you around their
wonderful city.
Cool Facts about Daegu
• Home to 3 Hillside boys
• South Korea’s 4th largest city

Holidays
Mid-Autumn Festival in China
The 2013 Mid-Autumn Festival falls on September
19th. People enjoy one day off on that day which is
usually connected with the weekend. The 2013 MidAutumn holiday starts from September 19 to 21. The
holiday usually has pleasant autumn weather and
becomes a peak time for travel. You can travel to
China and explore the traditional folk customs of this
interesting festival!
Falling on the 15th day of the 8th month according
to the ancient Chinese Lunar Calendar, the MidAutumn Festival is the second grandest festival (after
the Spring Festival) in China. It takes its name from the
fact that it is always celebrated in the middle of the
autumn season. The day is also known as the Moon
Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its’
roundest. On this day, family members gather to
appreciate the bright full moon and eat moon cakes
which are rich and delicious. You may be tempted to
have more than one but you’ll have to go for a jog or
two the next day just to work off all of the calories.
At night during the festival, the Chinese express
strong emotions towards their homes and think of
family members who live far away. If you are ever in
China, don’t miss out on the mid-Autumn Festival.

Faculty Profile
Miss Pagnam
The ever likeable Miss Pagnam
has been teaching at Hillside for
six years. She has been a force
of stability in the Math and
Language departments and
now is the new Assistant Athletic
Director. The kids think she is one
of the “cooler” teachers and
she always has a group of
adoring middle school boys
surrounding her for pleasant
conversation. Part of the reason
that the kids like her so much is
that, along with Miss Lucey, she
will go out of her way to
remember birthdays and
surprise the boys with
homemade cookies or brownies
on that special day. It may be a
birthday surprise or a cheer-meup batch of brownies, but no
doubt these warm gestures go a
long way with the boys.
Miss Pagnam grew up in New
Haven, Connecticut and is a
product of the boarding school
world herself. In high school she
attended Choate where she
was a member of the water
polo and swimming teams. She
went to Colgate College in
Hamilton, New York. Shortly
thereafter she became a
member of the Bulldog faculty
here at Hillside. Miss Pagnam
lives at Williams House and can
be seen jogging down Robin Hill
Road on occasion or out and
about on the campus.
During the summers Miss
Pagnam vacations in
Nantucket. She likely hangs out
at the beach and gets some
golf in and, in the evening, one
can picture her making
Nantucket baskets. She’s an
avid golfer and coaches the
golf team at Hillside. She has
been a perpetually smiling and
friendly presence at Hillside.
She’s always available for a
chat if you happen to cruise by
room #12 during the day. So,
stop in and say hi to her. There
might be a brownie, cookie, or
other treat in it for you
sometime down the line.
Cool Facts about Miss Pagnam
• Played water polo in high school & college
• She got a hole-in-one in golf
• Has been making Nantucket baskets since 10

What a year! The 2012-2013 school
year was one of my fondest of all
time. We had a terrific student body
and an exciting action-filled year. The
sports teams were off and running.
Mutaya brought a new excitement to
varsity soccer that hasn’t been seen
in a while. Remember the varsityfaculty b-ball game? The hockey
team was perhaps the finest we’ve
had here at Hillside and the
basketball team was excellent as
well. Bernardo and Jesse Lee
dominated ping pong. Fall Family
Weekend and grandparents
weekend were highlights again.
Faculty dogs ran all over Bulldog
campus. We went to Six Flags as well
as Canobie Lake. Diversity Day went
smoothly and the senior boys
traveled to the nation’s capital.
Graduation was touching as always
and, in the end, everyone said
goodbye and this campus got quiet.
Until now!

Culture Night
Culture Night: Hillside Boys go
to the Chinese Super Buffet
Super Buffet in Marlborough
was the site of the Hillside
School’s cultural night out on
last Saturday night. Nearly 26
boys along with Mr. Bryant
and Mr. Brown loaded into
the buses and headed to the
Chinese Super Buffet. And
super it was! Fish, won ton
soup, mussels, clams, frogs’
legs, roast pork, chow mein,
General Tso’s chicken, spicy
vegetables, fried egg and
rice, ice cream, and so much
more. The boys were well
behaved, polite, and had a
great night out. Next up on
tap for the Culture Club is
Mexican food at La Tapatias.
Sign-ups can only be made
by sending an email to Mr.
Brown.

Tinqyi “Harry” Tan
of Shanghai. There Harry lives
with his parents and
grandparents. It’s an
interesting concept for us
westerners. Rarely do you see
grandparents here living with
their sons or daughters and
grandkids. Perhaps it makes
us look a bit cold or un-familylike to an outside eye, but the
family concept is strong in
China. People have a
tremendous amount of
respect for their elders and
extended family members.
Resident strongman and all
around great kid Tinqyi
“Harry” Tan has been a
welcome addition to the
Hillside student population in
the past 2 years. Why
strongman? Arm wrestle him
and you’ll find out. He has
mutant, super-human
strength for a middle school
kid. He’s also one of the kids
with a serious study side, but
can surprise you with an out
of the blue humorous
comment. Teacher’s love
having him in their classes
and the boys all get along
with this big likeable teddy
bear of a guy.
Young Harry comes from
Jiashan, China. Jiashan is the
Venice of China . It has a lot
of rivers and lakes and is
located in Zhejiang
Province. On a map it is
approximately 50 miles west
Page.11
So, why did Harry come all
the way from Jiashan to go to
the Hillside School? Education
of course! It’s the name of the
game in China these days.
China is projected to
overtake the United States as
the world’s strongest
economy in 2016 or 2017. No
people, not in some vague
distance down the road; in
just a few years. And the key
to maintaining a high end
economy is education. That is
why you see many
international students flocking
to the West.
Harry’s hobbies are, in this
particular order, eating and
playing strategy games like
cards. Hmmm, I never knew
eating could be considered
a hobby, but why not? He
says the hardest thing about
coming to Hillside is
competing in cross-country.
Wow, it’s not the culture
shock or the study schedule;
instead, it’s Mr. Sedney’s
grueling practices after
Kane, Harry, & Mark
school.
So Harry, what do you want
to be when you grow up? A
doctor? Lawyer? Business
person? Nope! Harry wants to
be a teacher. Thank God,
after all these years of asking
kids, finally someone says a
teacher. And, if Harry is
anywhere near as proficient
in teaching as he is as a
student, then he should win
several teaching awards.
Harry Tan is one of the
reasons I jump out of bed in
the morning and look forward
to my classes.

Bum Kyu Kim
Bum Kyu Kim. I am 12 years old
and from South Korea, but I
lived in Japan for two years.
Nice to meet you!” After the 30th
time, I could repeat those words
in my sleep. His mother Eun Soo
dropped him off at Hillside this
summer and seemed very proud
of her son. His father, Hoon Chul,
is a businessman in the South
Korean capital. And, Bum Kyu
has an older sister Joo Yeon,
going to school at Wilbraham
and Monson.
Bum Kyu
Hey, who is Bum Kyu Kim’s
advisor this year? You might
think that was a question asked
by Bum Kyu himself before the
start of the year. You would think
a grade 7 student that is new to
Hillside would want to know one
of the all-important essential
answers to a question such as
this. In fact, that question was
the hot topic among the faculty
just before school started after
meeting Bum Kyu in the summer
JumpStart Program. Of course
we like all the kids, but Bum Kyu
had the advantage of getting
here early and, well,
accumulating a lot of fans. He’s
a happy boy with a wonderful
personality who might just be
impossible to dislike.
Bum Kyu comes from Seoul,
South Korea but he also had
lived in Kobe, Japan for two
years. In fact, I know his lines
from having seen him introduce
himself about 70 times during
the summer: “Hello, my name is
Page.13
“BK”, as Miss Lucey named him,
loves sports and computer
games. He had a great time
playing wiffle ball with Mr. Evans
and the boys this summer and
could be seen mowing down
space invaders on his laptop.
Bum Kyu was an instant hit with
the other boys. He quickly made
friends with Kane Ito and Ryusei
Morishima. After day 3, they
were inseparable. On one
occasion, after coming back
from a nice meal in the evening,
the song “Good Time” by Owl
City came on. You know,
“Woah-oh-oh-oh …It’s always a
good time woah-oh-oh-oh “ Etc.
As if scripted from a TV series,
led by BK, the boys all started to
belt out this song in synch.
Priceless! I found myself fumbling
for my video recorder. It was
one of those rare spontaneous
moments that needed to be
captured on camera.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it
fast enough and the boys
finished singing.
So, Bum Kyu, why did you
come to school in America?
Was it to audition for The Voice?
“No! I like to try new things,”
replied the boy. New things
indeed; like schools, languages,
and destinations around the
world. Bum Kyu has an inquisitive
and explorative mind and he is
going to go far in life.
Ultimately, Bum Kyu wants to
be a baseball player. He loves
the Cincinnati Reds and aspires
to play for them someday. Well,
if he doesn’t make it in the world
of baseball there is always, well,
everything else. This positive,
friendly, and intelligent kid
should have no problem making
it in just about anything he
chooses to do.

inches from your face and
emotionally charged. If
someone were to walk by at
that moment, they’d think
William was lecturing you about
something offensive you had
said. “Hey, what did you say to
William to set him off like that?
Did you speak French or
something?” “Err…no! I asked
him who won the game
between Barcelona and Bayern
Munich last night”. Ahhh,
youthful exuberance!
“Bonjour, Jean William. Je
m’appelle Monsieur Brun,” I had
said to young William when he
had first arrived in the United
States. Hearing that new student
Jean William Manket was from
the French speaking country of
Ivory Coast, I wanted to
welcome the young man to the
United States in broken-French
and a poor accent not used
since my junior high days.
Expecting a big smile and some
congratulatory pats on the back
for my awesomeness, I was
greeted with a menacing look.
“Don’t speak French, I’m here to
learn English!” “Oh”, said I as I
retracted my hand. “Well then,
please sit down and let’s get
started.”
William, forever direct and
honest, does not mince his
words. He also speaks with
heartfelt passion. It’s usually
about the European soccer
league or Messi and Ronaldo.
The hand gestures are flying all
Page.14
William plays on the JV soccer
team. He plays forward,
perhaps even striker. He’s
always around the ball. I
watched a game a few weeks
ago and Hillside was down by
one but pressing. Bam…shot off
the crossbar. Then, Fenn had a
chance and Bam…off the
crossbar. Back and forth the
game went. Finally, young
William had an opportunity with
a loose ball in front of the
goalkeeper and put the ball in
the net. The kids went wild. Fist
pumps were flying. The game
went on a little longer and the
action was intense but in the
end it was a draw. William was
the game hero and a tie was a
fitting end to a great JV game.
William was born in South Bend
Indiana but grew up in the Ivory
Coast. The Ivory Coast is a
relatively small western African
country with a population
roughly the size of the state of
New York. It was colonized in the
15th and 16th centuries by French
and Portuguese traders, which
explains the predominance of
the French language and
young William’s ability to speak
it. William’s mother is a doctor
and a very soft spoken woman

with a deep affection for her
son. It is obvious that William
looks up to her. When asked
what he wants to be when he is
older, the answer is quick: “A
doctor!” “I come from a family
of Dr.s Mr. Brown.”
Well, William is in his second
year here at Hillside. He came in
speaking very little English and
has improved greatly. He can
hold a conversation easily now
and his study habits are
improving. He still has a little way
to go, but it seems as though
the little monsieur from the Ivory
Coast is going to make it here.
Well done young William!

World Mysteries
Dedicated to
Unsolved
Mysteries lover
Mr. Brandon Yep
The Linbergh Baby
The year was 1932 and the place was the stately country residence of one Mr. Charles Augustus
Lindbergh. Five years earlier (1927) Lindbergh had become the first man to make a trans-Atlantic flight
which propelled him to icon status in the United States. In fact, at the time Lindbergh was perhaps the most
famous man in the world. He and his lovely wife Anne had produced a little boy named Charlie who the
press quickly dubbed “Little Lindy”. Fast-forward to the foggy and drizzly night of March 1st, 1932. The
Lindbergh’s had just returned from dinner out to their estate in Hopewell, New Jersey.
In the early part of the evening kidnappers used a latter to climb up to a second
story window where little Charlie was sleeping and snatched the baby. No one
heard a thing. A ransom note was left and negotiations with the kidnappers
stretched out for weeks. Midnight meetings in a graveyard in which cash was
exchanged occurred but the little guy never returned. The body was found a mere
five miles from the family home in a ditch alongside a walking path. Although
there were a few suspects in the case and eventually the arrest of a German
immigrant, to this day FBI experts believe that a team of kidnappers had to be
involved. The abduction of the Lindbergh baby goes down as one of the most
confounding in American criminal history.
Tamam Shud “The Somerton Man”
The year was 1948. An unidentified man was found dead on Somerton Beach
on a warm December 1st day. The beach had been a popular destination for
people throughout the year. The police arrived on the scene and asked if anyone
knew the man. When nobody did, they searched his pockets to look for any
identifying items. In one pocket was a piece of paper. On the paper were written
the words “Tamam Shud”. Little did the police know that this cryptic message
would trigger one of the greatest mysteries the world has ever witnessed.
Tamam Shud is a name for a phrase meaning “ended” or “finished” on the final page of the Rubaiyat. The
Rubaiyat is the title that English poet Edward Fitzgerald gave to a selection of poems originally written in
Persian. The rubaiyat is a two line stanza or “quatrain” in which the interpretation depends very much on
the arrangement of the words in the quatrain. Considered "one of Australia's most profound mysteries" at
the time, the case has been the subject of intense speculation over the years regarding the identity of the
victim, the events leading up to his death, and the cause of death. Public interest in the case remains
significant because of a number of factors: the death occurring at a time of heightened tensions during the
Cold War, what appeared to be a secret code on a scrap of paper found in his pocket, the use of an
undetectable poison, his lack of identification, and the possibility of unrequited love. To this day nobody
has been able to solve the mystery of the Somerton Man.
While the
