SCOT TIMES x FALL 2013 M www.hpef.org EM BE R SH EN IP C IN LO F SE OR D M AT IO N A PUBLICATION FOR HPISD ALUMNI, PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND FRIENDS A WORD FROM THE HPHS CLASS OF 2013 VALEDICTORIAN Arya McCarthy is the valedictorian of his class at Highland Park High School and Pipe Major with the Highland Park Bagpipe Corps. He is a National Merit Semifinalist, AP Scholar with Distinction, and Research Assistant at SMU. He received the Colorado School of Mines Medal of Achievement in Math and Science and won awards in UIL Math, Science, and Computer Science. Arya has been named a President’s Scholar at SMU where he will be studying computer science. Arya was awarded the Carol Nelson scholarship. This is a reprint of his scholarship application. Arya McCarthy The bagpipe corps isn’t quite a club, isn’t quite a mascot, and isn’t quite a part of the band. Our tradition has evolved over the years, but every HP alumnus and teacher has a unique affection toward our blue and yellow kilts and the skirl of Scotland the Brave. In October, an ebullient woman named Joy Duncan approached me, asking if the bagpipers would play for a ceremony honoring Michael Boone, a Highland Park graduate. She made a special request of us: that we would also have a drum dancer, aligning with the old school tradition of dancing atop a drum. We’d planned for weeks, and the time had finally arrived. Four pipers, one dancer, four bagpipes, five sets of kilts and jackets in uniform bags, and a bass drum transformed a subcompact into a clown car so we could argue with Siri over how not to be late to the site. Amber had never danced the Highland Fling before, but she’d quickly given in to the bouncing beat of the strathspey. We snuck around through the bowels of the hotel to take the stage and ignite our drones as the doors opened and the patricians filed in. We were a surprise, as if the five of us had popped out of a cake. So we entered our collective flow state. Music just effused from our pipes. It was beautiful and free. It was happy, and it was light. Then Amber came out, taking her place on the drum. We started The Orange and The Blue, and the dancing began. And from where I was standing, I saw a picture projected on the wall. It was another drum dancer, from decades earlier, held up with bagpipers surrounding her. That’s when what we did changed for me. We weren’t just playing our song for one room. It was a compounding of all the tradition and the history of our school. We were just one manifestation, one instance of the continuous legend. Everyone there listening and watching became indoctrinated, baptized into the world of Highland Park’s bagpipe tradition. Reunions still ask for bagpipers to play because of how much they’ve been affected by the inescapable power of HP’s traditions. Paraphrasing words spoken by R. Lee Ermey, Bagpipers graduate; that’s what we are here for. But the Bagpipe Corps lives forever. And that means YOU live forever. 2 | SCOT TIMES | fall 2013 www.hpef.org WHAT’S INSIDE HIGHLAND PARK EDUCATION FOUNDATION STAFF Jan Peterson Executive Director Tartan Endowment Mad for Plaid Scholarships 214-780-3063 [email protected] FEATURES 4 EVENTS Carolyn Ray Financial Officer 214-780-3061 [email protected] Beverly Vaughan '64 Class Notes Memorials Scholarships 214-780-3062 [email protected] Mike Dement Special Gifts Officer 214-780-4062 [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHY Brad Bradley Melissa Macatee '81 HPHS Alumni Association Archives David Hicks Cover Photo: Paige Kelley receives her diploma from HPISD Trustee Sam Dalton SCOT TIMES is a publication of the Highland Park Education Foundation and the Highland Park High School Alumni Association.

"They were just rolled up and stored in bins, and once we started unrolling them, we realized what a wonderful piece of history we had on our hands," she said. "You just don't see these used in the classroom anymore, but I think it would be a huge benefit to our students and faculty to display them in the science wing." There are about 70 of these illustrations, several of them are duplicates. We are hoping to find a sponsor to help frame as many as possible for display in the science wing for our students to enjoy. We may even consider selling the duplicates to help cover the cost of framing.

On June 13th, over 500 former and current athletes, their families, school administrators, staff and friends gathered to honor their former coach, girls’ athletic director and above all, mentor Jerry Sutterfield. Under the leadership of former cross country team members Shelley Corder Matthews ’98, Deighton Marzuola Gongora ’98, Hadleigh Henderson ’99 and BonnyKate Marshall Ralston ’98, funds were raised to establish a lasting endowment in his name as well as to give him and his family a very special trip to London and Cornwall. This was a tremendous expression of love and respect from so many who have become better athletes and better people because of the influence of Jerry Sutterfield. Fortunately for the Highland Park School District, Jerry will be returning in a part-time position as the HPISD Coordinator for Student Integrity and Compliance. In his new role, Sutterfield will design and implement a program that promotes responsibility and accountability for all students in grades 7-12. “ I have to admit that I was SHOCKED & AMAZED! We are in the process of recruiting a large number of local merchants. Just shop or dine as you normally do and charge your purchase on your credit card. I could not believe it. My, my - how sneaky everyone was. When I was first asked if I would like a retirement celebration, I thought, “Great!” This is a chance to see people who mean a great deal to me. I thought we could have a little get together and a few people would come. Two days before the scheduled celebration, Bonny Kate, Shelley, Deighton, and Hadleigh took me to lunch. That was a wonderful time. Following lunch, they took me to see the billboard. I was (and still am) so moved. WOW! They told me to get ready because the celebration was, “huge”. That is it! It is easy…and it is automatic. There are no additional steps and no cost to you! For additional information, [email protected]. please contact Syd Carter at When Coletta, Dan, and I arrived at the HPHS cafeteria, the decorations, the people, and so many great memories were there. (WOW, again) It was so great just to stand and talk with former athletes, coaches, and friends. It was so very special. Jay Harris and Time Marzuola were great MC’s and told a few funnies on me. The video is something I will treasure for the rest of my life. So many kind things were said. When the presentation of the endowment was made, I was so surprised and honored. To think because of the kindness of others, so many in the future will benefit and the fact that it was named in my honor is very humbling. The presentation of the trip to England had me dancing on the inside and the outside. WHOOOPPPEEEE!!! Am I dreaming? Is this really happening? I am so thankful to so many. I have lived my dream. All I wanted to be was a teacher and a coach. All I ever wanted was to do the best I could with the gifts God has given me. I have done that. All the boys and girls I’ve had to the opportunity to teach and coach and all the friends I’ve made through this profession and truly enriched my life beyond anything I could ever imagine. My wife, Coletta, had her hand in this and just knew exactly how to make it super special for me – let me spend time with my kids and my friends. Highland Park ISD is an incredible place. I am blessed to have worked in such a great place and live in such a great community. This school district has been a tremendous blessing to my entire family. I am so honored to be recognized by so many. Every time I think about the great celebration given to me, I laugh and cry (tears of joy). Thank you to everyone who worked so hard for me and to everyone who took time to come or send me a celebratory message. THANKS!!!
