A message from the
Head of School, Bradford D. Bates
Dear Alumni, Parents, and Friends,
O
ne of the best decisions I
made this past summer took
less than five seconds to
make. Andy Hungerford, our
incomparable Director of Buildings
and Grounds at Dublin School,
brought me outside the David Howe
Administration Building, pointed to
a five hundred square foot section of
concrete, and asked if I would have a
problem if he were to rip it up and
replace it with grass. “Go for it,” I
enthusiastically responded! Just
two weeks later as I now walk up
to campus from the Valley House
I notice that the grass seems to
roll over the hill right onto the quadrangle, creating a beautiful green
carpet leading to Lehmann House.
The timing of Andy’s question
was perfect. I have been thinking a
great deal lately about the out-ofdoors, of green spaces, and of past,
present and future students at Dublin.
Our school, more than most, is tied to
its “place.” This hill in southern New
Hampshire spoke to Paul Lehmann’s
vision of what and where a school
should be. Our land is essential to
our curriculum, and our location
continually inspires those of us who
live here to elevate our thinking and
learning. Our founder was well
ahead of his time in understanding
the importance of beauty, space,
wilderness, and adventure to a young
person’s intellectual, moral, physical,
and spiritual growth. Many of you
have either read or heard about
Richard Louv’s path-breaking book
Last Child in the Woods: Saving
our Children from Nature-Deficit
2 the dubliner / fall 2009
Disorder. Louv argues convincingly
that our culture’s obsession with
safety, combined with our focus on
technology and comfort, has led us
to abandon our relationship with
nature. Our children’s imagination,
creativity, sense of adventure, and
confidence suffer as a result.
In his recent article in the New
York Review of Books titled
“Manhood for Amateurs: The
Wilderness of Childhood,” Michael
Chabon picks up on Louv’s argument
and asks, “what is the impact of
the closing down of the Wilderness
on the development of children’s
imaginations?” It is encouraging to
contrast the laments of Louv and
Chabon with the true moments of
joy I witnessed during my first year
at Dublin School: of a student
summiting Mount Monadnock for
the first time, of the cross-country ski
team returning from a ski through ten
inches of fresh powder on the lower
campus, of a particularly muddy
Work Gang morning spent clearing
new trails, of a Science class coming
back from the seacoast with tanks filled
with aquatic life for our laboratory,
and of students congregating on the
quad on a stunning spring afternoon.
Chabon describes the mental and
physical maps that kids make of their
neighborhoods and surroundings, and
how these maps both color and reflect
their imagination. Michael Lehmann
recently gave me a copy of a map of
the campus drawn by T. Browne ’59
fifty years ago. A friend of mine saw
the map on my desk, looked at the
tiny cluster of buildings on the map,
and commented about how small the
campus looked. “Funny,” I replied
looking at the extensive woods and
elaborate system of trails drawn on
the map, “their old campus looks so
much bigger than ours today.”
Michael Mullins ’93, a member of
our Board of Trustees and an alumnus
of the school, led a committee that
recently completed an extensive
Master Plan for our campus. Randall
Imai, the architect responsible for
creating the final plan, immediately
focused our attention on the picturesque and naturalistic aspects of our
landscape design. He commented on
the emotional impact of the approach
to the campus as families and visitors
ascend the hills and mountains from
towns and cities below, before arriving
and witnessing the spectacular views
from our quad. A central component
of the Master Plan calls for expanding
that quad by building a new service
road behind Lehmann House which
would allow us to plant grass where
the road now travels through the
quad, creating over 10,000 square
feet of new green space!
At Dublin we are literally
getting back to our roots as we seek
to reaffirm our connection to the
landscape we inhabit. As you will
read in this issue of the Dubliner,
we have hired a Director of
Athletics who believes strongly
in getting kids outside to play
and exercise, and we are re-tooling our Work Gang program so
that students will have more
ownership of their outdoor
projects. Additionally, our
camping trips during the first
week of school were more
adventurous, with students
and teachers going on biking,
hiking and canoeing trips
throughout New Hampshire.
Our six new teachers have a
deep appreciation for the out-ofdoors, and they join a dedicated
faculty who, like me, feel
fortunate to work in such a
stunning location.
Our initiatives to reconnect
with the out-of-doors, to develop
the imaginations and the work
ethic of our students, and to
beautify our campus, demand
resources and the continued
generosity of our alumni, parents,
faculty, and friends. Lisa and I give
to Dublin because we are fortunate
enough to witness firsthand the
transformative power of the
education that takes place here
when our committed faculty work
closely with our wonderful
students on this incredible
campus. I hope we can continue
to count on your generosity as
we work to strengthen our
connection to this special place. Head of School’s Wish List

A message from the
President of the Board of Trustees,
Peter H. Imhoff
A friend came to visit James Joyce one day and found the great man sprawled across his writing desk in a posture of utter
despair. “James, what’s wrong?” the friend asked “Is it the work?” Joyce indicated assent without even raising his head to look
at his friend. Of course it was the work; isn’t it always? “How many words did you get today?” the friend pursued. Joyce (still
in despair, still sprawled facedown on his desk): “Seven.” “Seven? But James…that’s good, at least for you.” “Yes,” Joyce said,
finally looking up. “I suppose it is…but I don’t know what order they go in!”
I
t’s Sunday afternoon. At this time
next week, Dublin School will be
alive with the sounds of students
beginning a new year. New and
returning faculty have been on campus
eagerly preparing. The sun is shining
gloriously (given this past summer,
that is something to celebrate). It
should be an exciting time.
However, I am writing under a
deadline. The development office is
expecting to see what you are now
reading, sometime tomorrow morning.
I have already abandoned two drafts
and drift into a sea of despair. My
wife, Teresa, suggests that I just write
what I believe. Since she is invariably
right, I start over, taking limited solace
in the fact that much better writers
have successfully struggled with the
demons that now possess me.
So, here goes, what I really feel…
I am very excited for the coming
year. We graduated 41 terrifically
talented young people this spring. For
a small school that is a double-edge
sword—we will both miss those
sparkling souls and must replace them
with equally talented kids if the
school is to thrive. I can report that,
despite an obviously challenging
recruiting environment, we have
succeeded in building an exceptionally
talented base of students for the
coming year. A number of our
highly regarded competitors have
complained that they lost kids to
us this year for the first time.
I also want to express my complete and unbridled confidence in the
job that Brad and his team are doing
in pushing the school forward. It’s
sometimes hard for me to remember
that Brad, Lisa and the Bates brood
arrived in the Monadnock region a
mere 13 months ago. There is a
palpable level of energy in every
corner of our campus. We are working
hard to be better in everything that we
do. We are increasingly engaged with
both the local community and the
widest corners of the world. We have
started on our way to an ambitious goal.
Some months ago, I asked Brad
what his dream for Dublin was.
Unflinchingly, and without hesitation,
he looked at me and said, “To be
the best small boarding school in
the country.”
Though lofty, that ambition is
not unachievable. We have the ethic,
the energy and the enthusiasm to
accomplish much. The intimate
scale of our school allows for a
combination of intellectual rigor and
individual experimentation. It allows
our students to find their unique path.
The feedback we receive from current
parents and recent alumni tells us that
our focus is right and timely.
Of course, perception often trails
reality. Time is a critical component
in accomplishing our ambition.
A second component is money.
A small school suffers from a lack
of economies of scale. Particularly a
school like Dublin that works so hard
to accomplish such a broad range of
outcomes with an equally broad range
of students. Most schools simply give
up—they seek standardization in all
things: in the academic program, in
the athletic program, in residential
life and, most importantly, in the kids
they accept. They narrow choices at
a time of life where an expanded
understanding of differences, critical
thinking and possibilities is most vital.
Much of the messy texture that adds
richness to life is lost.
Doing what we do is valuable,
but not cheap.
While we have always been
prudent stewards of our resources,
we have legitimate needs in fulfilling
Dublin’s promise. Our needs often
are not substantial—an investment
in nordic ski equipment or specialized
tools for forging metal. Sometimes
our needs can be met out of a dusty
part of your basement. At the other
end of the scale are additional
dormitory, arts and classroom spaces.
Our facilities will never be extravagant—that’s just not us. Anything that
we build will always be based on one
standard—does it improve the educational experience of our students?
Well, you get the point. We have
great confidence in who we are and
where we are going. To get there, we
need some help. If you can be a large
or small part of this great crusade, we
are most grateful.
I guess that wasn’t so complicated
after all. Peter H. Imhoff,
President of the Board of Trustees

2009 Dublin School
“So much of what the world today is
looking for is right under this tent.”
O
“
ne of my favorite places on
Dublin’s campus is the little
stream that meanders through
lower campus. At the farthest reaches
of our trails is a completely idyllic
spot, carpeted with moss and ferns.
The light in the woods is filtered by
the canopy and strikes the stream at
an angle where it glitters and sparkles.
A small bridge crosses the stream just
before the trail turns uphill to return
toward campus.
As you follow its course, you will
find evidence of our history—a broken
down cabin built by Dublin students
many years ago. A bridge that no
longer has its decking. Farther up the
hill, rusted Model T wheels fixed to
trees to guide an abandoned rope tow.
An occasional piece of cloth, lost on a
romp through the woods. Stacks of
lumber waiting to be made into a
more perfect bridge. That stream is a
constant witness to our passing.
It is also a perfect metaphor for
our school. In my metaphor, I view the
passing water as our students. In our
stream as in our school, any particular
molecule of water is only in that small
stream for a very limited period of
time—which brings us to the joy and
sadness of days like today. For in our
stream, like in our school, without
water, without you, there is no life.”
These words from Board of
Trustees President, Peter Imhoff,
commenced the graduation ceremony
of the Class of 2009. On a bright May
morning under an enormous tent on
the Dublin quad, the forty-one seniors
listened as Mr. Imhoff spun out his
metaphor. “The banks of our stream
are not permanent however. The
passing of the water scours the banks
and over the years alters the direction
of the stream and the shape of the
bank. Like the water that has come
before, each one of you has had a
subtle or significant impact on
reshaping the banks that channel the
future direction of this school. The
interaction between the water and
the stream-bed is where the magic
happens— both in our beautiful
little stream and in our equally
beautiful little school.” Following
Mr. Imhoff’s idyllic images, Head of
School, Brad Bates, greeted the class
with a literary analogy, recounting
how he had recently re-read John
Steinback’s, Of Mice and Men.
“When I originally read the book in
high school, I was moved by the
www.dublinschool.org 5
relationship of Lenny, a slow minded
farmhand, and George, his more
experienced and jaded friend, as they
traveled through California looking
for work during the Great Depression.
In this novel of loneliness and rootlessness, Lenny has a dream of a farm
where he can live and work with his
friends, where they can be self-reliant,
and share in the camaraderie that
comes through hard work and shared
accomplishment. After putting the
book down, I was struck by the
similarities between Lenny’s dream
and our founder Paul Lehmann’s
vision for Dublin School. Mr.
Lehmann dreamed of creating a
school where people would work hard
together to make a better community,
be trusted to do the right thing, where
Class of 2009 waiting to enter the tent
young people would be given the
freedom to exercise their own judgments, where individuals would avoid
gossip and show discretion, be well
mannered, and follow a code of values
that emphasized truth and courage. I
was not completely surprised then to
discover that Steinbeck had written his
novel during the very same year that
Paul Lehmann founded Dublin School.
Lenny’s original dream is seductive
in the same way that the idea of
Martha Carol, Alison Avery, Jennifer Zakrzewski, Caroline Sarles
Dublin is seductive for us today. So
much of the world today is looking
for what we have right under this tent,
a sense of belonging to something that
is bigger than ourselves, a community
where each of us brings out the best
in one another at various times in
various circumstances, a place where
we work hard, allow our individual
and collective curiosity to flourish,
and have fun in ways that can be
both joyous and rewarding. Somehow,
I believe that this moment, this place,
and these people capture the essence
of what Lenny was searching for as
he wandered through California
seventy-five years ago. We are lucky
to live and work in a community
where children cannot only be their
true selves, they can be challenged
and encouraged by their peers, their
teachers, their parents to be something
they had no idea they could be.” The
Graduation Address was given by
Alumnus and
Trustee William
Chandler Spencer
’86 who began by
explaining his
unique connection
to Dublin School.
“My connection,
indeed the first
seeds of that ongoing commitment,
were planted years prior to my own
eventual matriculation. You see, I grew
up “hearing” about Dublin—and all of
its excellent attributes.
Most of you are familiar with
Hoyt-Horner dormitory—the newest
residential hall on the Dublin campus,
named after two graduates and later,
Trustees of Dublin School. I am the
godchild of Henry Chandler Horner—
Class of 1948. Uncle Henry—as I
affectionately referred to him—shared
his love of Dublin with me as early as
I can remember. His efforts to “instill
the value of discipline and meaningful
work that are necessary for the good of
self and community” (PWL) were
launched in 1969 when he accepted the
responsibilities of being a godparent.
Toward that end, Uncle Henry taught
me to fly-fish, to sail, to ski, to do most
anything that celebrated the great outdoors. This certainly is in keeping with
the Dublin tradition.
Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama
delivered her first commencement
address at University of California—
Merced. She implored that “Service
is the rent we pay for living.” I have
dedicated the past 20-odd years of my
life to service. I have worked on behalf
of the poor, the hungry, the homeless,
people living with and dying from
HIV/AIDS, children who have been
abandoned, abused or neglected, and
those with special healthcare needs. I
can tell you that “giving back” to the
community to which I was compelled
began right here, at Dublin School.
Intrinsic to the process of daily jobs,
and especially work gang, is this very
same ideal: “Service is the rent we
pay for living.”
I turn my attention now to the
Class of 2009! What will your own
individual legacy be? In June 1975,
Charles Gillespie (Mr. G), much
heralded instructor from the early days
of our fine, little school delivered the
graduation address. His timely and
prescient comments on “the current
state of affairs” ring true even today.
“It is a time of adversity…while we
perform superbly in matters of
technology, we’re not doing as well
in our relations with our fellow men.
We have not yet learned to live
honestly and considerately with
ourselves or our neighbors.”
Mr. G’s point and mine is that
difficulty always exists and adversity
is not new. The Class of 2009 will
engage—head on—these and other yet
unforeseen challenges, new “green collar” jobs, new financial systems and
oversight, new ideas for the future.
These will be yours—to wrestle with—
up or down, and to move ever forward.
And so, in just a few moments, the final
exercise, graduation! You will leave
here for destinations far and wide, for
obligations big and small—and others
will take your place—writing the next
few chapters in Dublin School’s story.”
Finally, Director of Admissions, Sheila
Bogan, was chosen by the seniors to
give the Senior Goodbye. She began by
thanking the class for that honor, “It is
especially fitting since this is my first
class at Dublin School. I suppose that I
should be graduating with you, but I
am not sure that I am ready for the

“real world” outside of this little place
on the hill so I have signed on for a
Post Graduate year! I honestly cannot
believe that four years have gone by. I
am proud of every single one of you.
It’s not always easy to be a part of
such a small community, but you have
all handled it well and will hopefully
define your high school experience by
the relationships that you have built
here. I am pretty sure if you took a
poll…the relationships that we all
have and the experiences that we all
share are what keep us here. It is why
this Dublin thing works so well.”
As powerful as all the speeches
were, it was the Senior Speeches
presented by Jemila Grant, Spenser
Horgan and Ben Petrowitsch that
were even more touching (See page 8).
Every aspect of graduation day
illustrated the strength and endurance
of the Dublin School community. In
Mr. Imhoff’s speech, his final remarks
referenced the future. “And now, you
leave our stream. In the fall, you will
be entering a fast moving, torrential
river called college. My hope for you
is that you find the bottom of your
new river where the life and the
excitement grows. And knowing
many of you, I hope that you choose
to spend your time there further
polishing the rocks that sit in that
future place.” www.dublinschool.org 7

both happy and sad. There are
stories that sometimes we would like
of the character you possess to come
to a place where you don’t know
anyone, but still put everything you
have into making it the best experience
of your life. You may be terrified, but
you still try. Someone very important
to me once said, “Character is what you
do when no one is watching.” But I will
add to this and say that sometimes
character is what you do when everyone
is watching. Whether it is on the stage,
in the classroom, or even on the field;
sometimes the true character of
someone only comes out in a moment
when everyone is watching. From my
experience at Dublin, the true character
of this community is stated in its
motto: courage. Not to say that truth
is unimportant, but the word courage
is a direct representation of this school.
Yes, I did just mention our school’s
motto in my speech. “How incredibly
corny,” you might be thinking. I would
definitely agree, but honestly, day after
day, our teachers and parents ask,
encourage, and sometimes force us
to put ourselves out in front of a large
group of people. Whether it is singing,
dancing, acting, trying a sport we
have never tried before, answering a
question in the classroom, or more
importantly; asking the question. Still
some go even farther beyond this, and
perform or display their own creations,
such as a piece of music or a self-choreographed dance. While Dublin is one
of the safest places on earth to try
something like this, I can personally
tell you that there is no such thing as
a fearless performance. The fear we
possess is what drives us to create,
the courage, however, is what drives
us to perform.
gifted and knowledgeable group of
students. Dublin has truly been such
a remarkable experience for all of us.
Class of 2009, can you even remember
the last time you rested your head on
your pillow at night not grateful to be a
part of such a devoted family? This
haven has shielded and inspired every
individual in many different ways.
Without a doubt, Dublin is and has
for the last four years, been a positive
influence on our growth into young
women and young men.
I remember driving into Dublin
after a long 6-hour drive because mom
got lost and drove into Keene State
College thinking it was Dublin and
getting my hopes up as I watched all
the college guys. But trust me when I
say I am thankful that we didn’t make
that mistake and enroll into Keene
State right away because what a journey
I would have missed out on. To all the
family members in the audience who
only knew that their grandchild, niece
or nephew or even godchild was going
to a boarding school somewhere up
north, but never really knew where or
what Dublin was like. Here it is in a
nutshell: It is a small world on top of
a hill filled with endless opportunities.
A small world where taking risks is
encouraged. I have felt supported
through my highest peaks at Dublin
to my lowest points. I don’t believe
that there is any other school that captures the essence of a community,
quite like the way Dublin has. What
other school do you know where you
could honestly say you have held a
conversation with every individual
on campus, no exaggeration.

because that memory was once a
happy one. We saw how one great
man's responsibility was passed on
to another great man. Thanks to Mr.
Horgan, Mr. Fox and Mr. Bates who

senior class, the Dublin School
community and all the people they
have influence, like all of us. Dublin
has been such a good influenced that
I made it my college essay topic. I have
found great minds here both in the
student and faculty body. They have
taught me so much and given me
lessons that will help me carry on
through my life. Most of those lessons
were given to me not in a classroom,
but on the field by Mr. Metcalf or a
one-on-one talk with Sheila Bogan,
my advisor.
We must take advantage of every
single opportunity we get. Many of us
reject these because they may seem
scary to us. The thing is that men are
afraid of the unknown, stopping them
from stepping forward and taking their
chances. It is up to each one of you to
contradict what your mind is telling
you and become the brave person to
discover what the unknown is. Don't
stand back and look, participate, don't
worry so much about the consequences, keep them in mind, but
do not let them intervene with an
opportunity. Make your own choices;
don't let anyone make them for you.
No one else but you can rule your
mind and body.

one year of full-time employment at the School, the faculty and staff are eligible to apply for a grant to fund any of the following:
courses, workshops, personal, intellectual and/or creative pursuits, and summer vacation travel or study that would help faculty
and staff renew themselves as professionals and human beings. This year, the Ford/Steffian Fund was able to award $7,250.
The 2009 recipients are:
REBECCA BEAUZAY will be
attending a 3-day course in Portland,

Europe. This trip will greatly enhance
their personal connection with the
historical places studied in each of
their courses. Their trip will also
revolve around traveling the same
path Brian’s grandfather, Capt. Phillip

landscape paintings and continue
to distinguish himself as an
encaustic artist.
JUNG YUN will be beginning her
study of Mandarin as she pursues her
interest in China and Chinese culture.
She will be studying with the assistance
of the Rosetta Stone learning series to
better communicate with our Chinese
students next year and to work with
these students to create a Chinese club
to introduce the Chinese culture to the
Dublin community. ERIC NEMITZ will be constructing
a stationary bicycle that is connected
to a generator allowing the user to
measure and utilize his or her power
output while riding. The purpose of
this unique bicycle is to allow students
to experience how much energy is
needed to create electric current.
The energy created would be stored
in a battery/inverter that would allow
students to plug right into it and see
the energy needed to watch TV or
compare the energy requirements
for incandescent, CFL and LED
light bulbs.

Dublin School Annual Report of Giving
Dear Dublin Community:
T
he 2008/2009 School Year was a fantastic year for Dublin
School. In a year when many schools did not meet their
Annual Fund goals, or had to postpone building projects and
cut programs, Dublin School exceeded its Annual Fund goal, started
construction on a new observatory, and maintained all its programs
and personnel. This was largely due to the touching generosity of
our trustees, parents, alumni and friends who we are honored to
acknowledge in this report.
For the fiscal year that ended on June 30, 2009, Dublin School
recorded 529 gifts totaling $584,309.66. Of this total, $343,154.16
came from our Annual Fund and directly supports our day-to-day
operating budget. The balance of this year’s total contributions came
largely from a generous bequest gift from alumnus Harry Grew ’54
and a grant of $50,000 from The Perkin Fund towards the construction
of the Perkin Observatory. The School also received $25,000 towards
our new Visual Arts Building and over $13,000 to the Paul and Nancy
Lehmann Endowment Fund. A number of “Special One-Time Gifts”
were also made to the School including new fencing equipment for
our fencing club, a new spotlight for the theater, several musical
instruments and a tractor.
Each year, we see more and more of the Dublin family asking him
or herself how he or she can support our School. Whether it is by an
Annual Fund contribution or a Gift in Kind; by contacting a classmate
or submitting a class note; by acting as a referral or participating in a
school event, this spirit of giving of one’s self in every and all ways, is
fundamental to the character of this School, and what has sustained it
for nearly seventy-five years.
To everyone who gave when we asked, and asked what they
could give – Thank You.
With my gratitude,
July 1, 2008 — June 30, 2009

The Dublin School Birthday Book Program
T
he program celebrates the birthday of a student in a significant and
long-lasting way. Many parents and grandparents purchase books that
benefit today’s students and will contribute to those in the years to
come. The Dublin School faculty and Librarian have compiled a list of various
titles, taking into consideration the needs of the library and the mission of the
School. They have determined that these books will enhance the library’s
collection and add reference resources for numerous courses.
The ongoing contributions to the Birthday Book Program continue to enrich
the library and the academic programs at the School. If you have any questions
regarding this program, please feel free to contact Ed Kerman, Head Librarian

WORK GANG
Still the Most Important Course in School
Senior, Chris Riley, clearing the pond of weeds and brush
I
n his book Dublin School 19351970, Paul Lehmann often called
work gang “the most important
course in the school!” He goes on
to explain his feelings and philosophy
about the program: “I believed so
much in the gainful experiences
accumulated by each student, that
I felt obligated to them, and inspired
by them, to conduct the program
personally, five days a week every
year (calling for additional volunteers
on the weekends.) About once each
term…we called off classes and the
entire school, assigned to separate
projects, was led by the faculty or
by boys as captains of a group in
the undertaking assigned.
We cleared land, cut trees,
removed stones and stumps,
smoothed, seeded, fertilized and raked.
We planted shrubs, vines, and trees.
We built stone walls. We cut wood…
we converted several small areas into
flower and vegetable gardens. We
composted— at one time, all of
the school garbage.”
Now, almost 40 years after Mr.
Lehmann’s musings, Head of School,
Brad Bates, has exciting new plans
for reinvigorating the work gang
program, many of which will be in
place by the time readers receive this
edition of The Dubliner.
Mr. Bates hopes to enhance the
program’s educational value. Seven
teams of five to six students and one
faculty member will work for a
season or, in some cases, a whole year
on a specific project. A rotating team
of three faculty will share team
leadership and their team will “own”
its project and study all its aspects.
For instance, says Mr. Bates,
“One team will cut cordwood—by
hand! They will then deliver the wood
to local residents in nearby communities. But in addition to the community
service aspect of that “job,” the team
will learn about the different types of
wood and trees and the history of the
logging industry in the Monadnock
Region. Cordwood has been a work
gang “staple” forever. In 1935, Charles
Gillespie (Mr. G) wrote to his parents:
“There always seems to be plenty to
do. Today we cut down about three
Dublin Students keep the walkways clear from debris and snow
small pines and dropped a big oak to
make a parking space. It all has to be
cut up in small pieces for the fireplaces,
so there is still plenty of sawing…We
feel rather tired, naturally.”
Forty-five years later, Kathy Graff
Low, Dublin science teacher from
1978-1980, recalled: “What I
remember most about that time is
the reinstitution of the “woodstove”
during the two years I taught at
Dublin. Saturdays in the fall were
spent cutting, transporting, and
stacking wood for the new stove in
the School House. I distinctly
remember one Saturday, quite chilly,
with sprinklings of snow, when the
students lined up in the valley and
handed logs person-to-person, up
the hill to the School. Woodcutting
also had its immediate rewards—a
warm and friendly fire in the library
around which we could warm up
after the work!”
Mr. Bates sees the program’s
mission as one of meaningful work,
and confluent with Mr. Lehmann’s
philosophy. “I want our students to
learn the value and dignity of work
that instills pride and self-respect,
and should never be seen “as
a punishment.”
Another project this year will be
the care of the School’s three ponds.
These include the lower pond, the
skating rink, and the Village House
pond. Students and faculty who have
chosen this project will study pond
ecology, eutrophication and maintenance. Other work gang projects
include the art and science of building
ski trails; creating a community
vegetable garden; the collection and
production of maple syrup; and
building a campground that
students will be able to use.
Throughout all the administrative
transitions since Mr. Lehmann’s
retirement, work gang has endured
as a Dublin tradition, although the
nature of the “work” has changed
with the times. In the seventies there
were still the wretched boardwalks to
put down each fall and take up each
spring. (Oh, the gnashing of teeth
and knuckles while trying to get the
numbered boards laid down correctly!)
Mike Cornog and Terry Dwyer would
lead those a “auspicious” events.
Clearing the south slope remained a
massive effort to which work gang
tsar, Peter Benes, loved to assign his
favorites. But Peter’s favorite was
road sweeping, making work gangs
resemble Saturday morning chain
gangs. In the ’80s, the ski tow fell into
disuse and the South Slope clearers
were reassigned to the more mundane
jobs of raking leaves and shoveling
snow off paths. Boardwalks were
abandoned because walk-ways
between buildings had been paved.
The reduction of projects resulted in
shorter and shorter work gangs, so
a Saturday Humanities program was
initiated to fill the gap. It was not
unusual for students and faculty to
be cleaning the Arts Building from
9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and then
listening to chamber music from
10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
By the ’90s, Andy Hungerford
had taken the reins of Buildings and
Grounds Director and began to build
a staff and direct the projects of the
work gang program. Though there was
still plenty of raking and shoveling, the
wood stove craze of previous decades
had pretty much passed, so wood
chopping and handling was not a
great factor.
Scott Olsen ’07 collecting sap on Dublin campus
Which brings us to the present
decade…A professional group of
housekeepers now attends to the buildings, while a crew of efficient grounds
keepers maintains our lawns and
roads. What is left for the students to
do…Plenty! It really is time for a fresh
new look at the work gang status.
Enter Brad Bates, who is determined to keep the tradition alive.
“It’s what so many alums ask about
first: ‘Do you still have work gang?’
I want to help our students step out
of their comfort zones occasionally,
to learn various skills which they will
take with them through life and most
of all, work together on a team. I
want to see the program evolve to
the Dublin of today, while teaching
the same values that inspired it. To be
stewards of the School, while learning
to be stewards of the land. As Mr.
Lehmann used to say, ‘It’s the most
important course!’ www.dublinschool.org 21

Athletics
A TEAM PLAYER
Director of Athletics, Brooks Johnson, addresses his team before the start of the game
I
f you ask Dublin’s new Athletic
Director, Brooks Johnson, what
the most important part of the
Dublin athletic program is he would
likely say being a part of a team.
Over the past eight years, Brooks has
been Athletic Director for the Franklin
County Lacrosse Association, the Head
Ice Hockey Coach at the Bement
School, and Assistant Women’s
Lacrosse Coach at Keene State
College. Last year he was Dublin’s
JV Boys’ Soccer Coach and the
Varsity Girls’ Lacrosse Coach.
A 1999 graduate of Salve Regina
University with a Bachelor of Arts
degree in history and political science,
Brooks knows what it is like to be a
scholar athlete. His own love of
sports began early playing on youth
teams in virtually everything that was
offered at the time; he picked up
lacrosse as a prep school student and
continued on in college playing both
lacrosse and ice hockey. After a year
of being a teacher, tutor, dorm
parent and coach at Dublin,
Brooks knows intimately the
lives of our student athletes and
the diverse mix of abilities and
interests among the student
body. New Head of School,
Brad Bates, says he offered the
position to Brooks because,
“Brooks gets it. He understands
where Dublin athletics are,
where they have been, and where they
can go if we all work together as a
team. If you are fortunate enough to
visit one of Brooks’ athletic practices,
you will see young athletes having
fun, gaining confidence in themselves,
and making enduring friendships. I
am confident that Brooks will lead us
into an exciting future for Dublin
athletics with the enthusiasm, grace,
and humility with which he approaches
all aspects of his life at Dublin School.”
Brooks’ coaching and administrative experience makes him the perfect
leader for our 2009/2010 coaching
staff. Creating a positive attitude
and mastering basic skills is what
Brooks will focus on when training
and working with coaches. Currently
Dublin School offers soccer, cross
country running, recreational sailing
and dance in the fall; Nordic and
downhill skiing, snowboarding, and
basketball in the winter; and tennis,
lacrosse and crew in the spring. Many
of Dublin’s students are three season
athletes and there are no boundaries
between the “sporty kids” and the
“artsy kids” at Dublin. Many of our
top athletes can also be found on the
stage or in the art studio, and this is
fine with our new Athletic Director
who says, “This past year I loved
seeing both girl and boy lacrosse and
tennis team players dancing during
the Mayfair performance—
that really says Dublin to me.” www.dublinschool.org 23
Rafting
O
n Saturday, May 23rd,
the Class of 2009
added one final
chapter to its Dublin
School legacy. Armed
with wetsuits, paddles
and a sense of adventure, the seniors braved
the mighty rapids of the
West Branch of the
Penobscot River in Northern
Maine, thus putting their own
spin on the real meaning of “Truth
and Courage.” The trip was
arranged through New
England Outdoor Center
(NEOC), which is
owned and operated
by Dublin School’s
very own Matt
Polstein (Class of ’79).
The seniors were
accompanied by five
members of the faculty:
Kate Robbins, Mallary Blair,
Jung Yun ’02, Brooks Johnson

and Eric Nemitz. In an impressive
display of teamwork, groups of six to
eight students and faculty were paired
with professional raft guides and quickly
set about putting their newfound skills
to the test. Pleasantly oblivious to the
cold water, they charged through some
of the most difficult rapids in the
northeast, including a number of class IV and V’s. Like
students navigating the many challenges and obstacles in
four years of high school, each raft seemed to take a unique

others were a bit more…well, exciting. Fortunately, there
was always someone there to help out those who did any
unexpected swimming. Great job, Seniors! We wish you

Reunion Weekend 2009
“How was it? Who was there?”

from Orr Island, ME, to
meet new Head of School,
Brad Bates, visit with old
friend, Carl Von Mertens, and

Henry Otto ’47 and his

lunch on Friday and jumped
into the story-telling with
Brad Bates, myself and other
faculty members. They also
cheered on the girls’ lacrosse

parents later in the afternoon on Memorial Field.

the entire weekend, I found myself doing

Emily Merrifield ’08, Erica Bullock ’08,

would emerge from a crowd of current
students, as if I had simply not seen them
in a few days. Some of them even joined
in with the musicians on “Keep on
Rockin’ In the Free World,” led by
about-to-be-graduate Beal Locke in a
raucous end of concert rendition of the
Neil Young classic, along with Brad
Bates on triangle. With everyone spread
out on the grass, the music, the stage lit
up, and folks moving from one group to
another catching up with old friends, it
was truly a magical night.
At 8:00 Saturday morning the sun
began to break through the fog and
mist as the much larger-than-life banners,
artfully depicting The Beatles were being
erected in a semi-circle in front of the
schoolhouse in preparation for our
“Let It Be” student dance performance.
Parents, students, alums and faculty
began to gather in the Lehmann Dining
Room for a leisurely breakfast, while
twenty-five anxious dancers gathered in
the Upper Arts Building to don costumes
and make-up in anticipation of their
dance performances to the music of the
Fabulous Four. In vividly bright,
“Hippie” costumes, reminiscent of the
’60’s, the dancers gave a stunning
performance filled with creativity,
laughter, and beauty. The circling of
the Maypole by the Class of 2009
followed the performance, and by now
more alumni, including Jason Smith ’92,
Heather Avery Stockwell ’81, Mike Walter
’86, Garrick Boyd ’89, Louisa Lehmann
Birch ’57, and Roger Burke ’47 were
among the alums watching the festivities.

Then, the crowd poured into the
Recital Hall for greetings by Chair of
the Board of Trustees, Peter Imhoff, and
Head of School, Brad Bates, and the
unveiling of a portrait of former
Headmaster, Christopher Horgan.
Jill ’01, Tim ’03, Spenser ’09 and their
mother, K Horgan, were present for
the ceremony. As I looked around the
room, wiping away my own tears as
I remembered Chris, I noticed more
alumni had joined the audience including
Megan Foucher ’99, Jennifer Bartlett ’99,
Craig Thurston ’74, and Joe Joslin ’54
and everyone thoroughly enjoyed watching
“Yesterday,” a video collage of alumni
images from the past and present, with
music, of course, by “The Beatles.” (The
video collage, “Yesterday” can be viewed
on the Dublin School website.)
As I made my way over to the dining
hall for lunch, I noticed Jan Haman
Alex Hillman ’79 and son
having lunch at an outside table with
the Class of 1974 that included Cathy
Solomon Barrow and her husband,
Dennis, Harry Sloan, Craig Thurston,
Dave Fetherolf and his wife, Carrie.
Listening to them laugh and catch up,
I was struck by the powerful and lasting
bonds created between students and
teachers here at Dublin, and wish I could
have bottled that moment for all of them
to enjoy for years to come. Later that

day, I had the pleasure of giving this fun
group a campus tour, along with James
Bright ’69, John Wareham ’69, and
Ernest Dane ’51, and had a wonderful
time learning about how things had
changed since they were students, and
even heard about some “secret spots”
that only past students know about!
As the afternoon continued, I got to
meet and visit with Stanley Swaim ’54,
Joe Anderson ’79, Melissa Bullock ’04,
James Lloyd ’04, Andy Wyndham ’94,
Mari Alberico ’04, Tom Jenks ’05, Jung
Yun ’02 (presently Dublin’s Assistant
Admissions Director), Duncan Inches
’58, and 2008 class members Jacky
Cheng, Dan Helm, Emily Merrifield
and Kari Olsen. After a quick change
for supper, we all enjoyed a delicious
alumni dinner with Brad and Lisa Bates
and former Headmaster, Mike Cornog,
and his wife, Mary, in the Lehmann
Dining Room. We then moved to the
School House for an interactive concert
by Domingo Rosa’s ’76 House Band,
a wonderfully up-beat group that
encourages the audience to sing and
play percussion instruments along with
them. The music was so inviting that
current students drifted over like bugs to
a light, and before we knew it, alumni,
students, and faculty were dancing and
laughing until our sides hurt. Finally,
on Sunday morning, a small group of
alumni, including Anna Blair Petrova ’94
and her family enjoyed a quiet breakfast
before heading back home.
Looking back, all I can say is that
you had to be there to truly appreciate
the feeling of community that permeated
throughout the entire weekend. The
alumni reconnected with what made
Dublin School special for them, the
current students were inspired by the
presence of the alumni, and the parents
and faculty watched the whole thing
unfold with a feeling of immense pride.
So, “How was it? Who was there?”
Please come see for yourself, we would
love to have you back. Jan Haman and Max Le Marchant ’80
Striving for “Truth and Courage”
By Coleman Langshaw, for the News-Leader
I
t has been said that you can never
go back. That returning to your
childhood home, or old high school
or some other place in one’s personal
history is only a physical reality, time
has slipped by and no reincarnation
has occurred. And of course, that is
absolutely true, but still the sights, or
sounds, or most likely the smells,
draw the subconscious recollections
with such fervor that it almost seems
possible to go back in time.
I visited my old high school in
the mountains of southwest New
Hampshire recently. Mixed in with
the new buildings that had been
constructed were the old familiar
structures of my teenage years. I lived
at the school for three years, and
because it was (and still is) a very
small institution, I knew every inch
of the campus and the surrounding
community. This is where I did a
great deal of growing up, where I
learned about so much more than
the “three R’s.”
Unlike most boarding schools, we
did not have janitors or a maintenance
crew, we the students were the janitors,
the maintenance crew and the dishwashers and so on. We cleared the ski
slopes in the fall of vegetation. We laid
down the wooden boardwalks for the
winter, we shoveled the snow daily
(and on many occasions thrice daily),
we cut our firewood and we helped
each other whenever and wherever
we could.
And in a small community like
that, we had to learn to live together,
like a family. Sometimes it wasn’t easy,
sometimes we didn’t get along. Long
winters in New Hampshire can make
a person a bit cranky, when the high
temperature for the day never gets
above freezing, and frequently the
nights are in the single digits. And as
“Tiger” Ferguson ’76 and Coley Langshaw ’76
is typical of teenagers, we could find
ourselves being inconsiderate or callous
or cliqueish. But in those times of
human imperfection, our school motto
always loomed above us, or around us,
or on anything that had the school’s
logo. Three simple words: “Truth
and Courage.”
In the hardest times, we were
always expected to still rise to these
simple but powerful words. Truth
and Courage.
As we spent more and more time
at this wonderful home we only knew
then as school, we benefited and began
embracing the motto. On graduation
day, back on a balmy June Saturday
in 1976, as I gave my address to the
audience, I didn’t have to utter the
words in my speech, I just recounted
our experiences and spoke about our
future, and throughout the speech
everyone knew that it was about
Truth and Courage.
Now, some 33 years later, and
after visiting my old school— Dublin
School— I returned to my adopted
home in Florida. On my flight back I
reflected about many things, including,
obviously, about Truth and Courage.
It occurred to me that, sadly, “Truth
and Courage” is not a universal motto.
Agendas and vendettas frequently
seem to prevail in lieu of Truth and
Courage. I always hope and strive to
live up to Dublin’s expectation of me,
not just because it is the right thing to
do, but because it truly makes me feel
better doing so. It isn’t always easy to
speak the truth, nor is it easy to have
the courage to do so.
But when all is said and done, it’s
about being able to look my son in his
eyes, or to look myself in the mirror,
and know that I have done my best to
live up to the expectations passed on
to me by others before me, and to do
my best to pass it on to others.
As we strive to live together and
work together, in this small community
or in the world at large, it is my hope
that we can repel the propensity to
promote agendas and vendettas, and
strive towards the strength and unity
that comes from living our lives with
Truth and Courage. Coleman Langshaw of Fernandina Beach writes regularly for the News-Leader.

Sneak Peek…
Led by Trustee Carl Von Mertens, The Perkin Observatory is currently being constructed
thanks to the generosity of The Perkin Fund and alumnus John Gray ’88. The building will
be located on the northeast corner of Memorial Field and consist of an observatory room
with a 16.5 foot dome that will accommodate 10-12 people, a 16 inch
main telescope and a variety of smaller specialized telescopes. Attached
to the observatory room will be a separate heated control room that
will function as a classroom and an adjacent outdoor star-gazing patio.
The facility will contain specialized digital cameras and filters that will
allow sophisticated scientific analysis of celestial objects including the
identification of near Earth asteroids. This observatory will not only
expand our science curriculum and be an interdisciplinary tool
for all courses, it will also be a valuable outreach opportunity
with area schools, colleges, and
residents of the Monadnock
region. A full article on the
observatory and how it came
to be will be in the 2010
Spring Dubliner.
