FALL 2014
Providing Scholarships - Connecting the Warrior Nation - Preserving History
Integration of Wakefield Project
Call for Hall of Fame Nominations
The primary purpose of the Wakefield High School Education
Foundation is to provide scholarships
to graduating seniors at Wakefield.
Established in 1987, the Foundation has
been able to award over $1.6 million to 321
scholars. The Foundation also connects
the Warrior Nation and preserves the
history of Wakefield. As part of that
last function, a project was started in
2012 to capture the history of the racial
integration of Wakefield in the early
1960s.
The last Hall of Fame Induction yielded a great group of new
members. The Ceremony had the most honorees and the best
alumni attendance. We hope to do even better this year. The
2015 Induction to the Hall of Fame will be the first in the new
building. We will have a significantly better facility to welcome
and showcase our Hall of Fame members.
Beginning in the fall of 1962, nine
years after Brown v. Board of Education and four years
after the Massive Resistance laws in Virginia were declared
unconstitutional, the first African American students enrolled
in Wakefield. By the fall of 1964, Hoffman-Boston High
School was closed and the black students attending it were
sent to Wakefield and Washington-Lee. About 250 HoffmanBoston students in grades ten through twelve were assigned
to Wakefield, which had a population of over 2,500 that year.
Much has been written about the four students who integrated
Stratford Junior High School, but less effort has been made
to capture the history of others who integrated schools in
Arlington. Their stories are interesting and dynamic.
A series of oral history interviews were conducted. Research
was done on the history of segregation and integration. Black
Wakefield alumni visited with current-day Sociology students
at Wakefield. The end result is a book that captures those
stories and conversations. It includes the reflections of twentyone people; a record of the conversations the alumni had with
the Sociology students; photos from the Wakefield 1962 – 1965
yearbooks, the period of integration; and a timeline of events
surrounding integration. Individuals in the “Reflections”
section include: George Richardson (staff), Glen Bayless (’64),
James and Howard Bregman (’60 and ’64), Deborah Carpenter
Brittain (’66), Isaac Brooks and Toni Clark Brooks (’65),
Randolph Clark (’65), Robert Eldridge (’66), Preston H. Green
(’67), Maynard Haithcock (staff), Jacqueline Kenney Peyton
and William Peyton (’66), Raymond Leak (’67), Kevin Mannix
(’67), Clayton Powell (’65), Larry Randall (’65), Bill Ricks (’64),
Walter Schulte (staff), Joseph Smackum (’66), Al Smuzynski
(’65) and, Lynn Taylor Nelson (’62).
The book is available for a donation of $25. An order form is
available at wakefieldalumni.org on the memorabilia tab.
The final date for the Ceremony has not been determined,
but we expect it to be in late May or early June of 2015.
Consequently, all nominations should be submitted by February
1, 2015. Nomination forms and guidelines are available on the
Wakefield Alumni website - http://wakefieldalumni.org/hof.
html. Submissions may be made online or by mail. As always,
past nominations are included for consideration by the selection
committee. So, re-nominations with additional supporting
information are a good idea. If you have any questions or
need any assistance with a nomination, send an email to the
Hall of Fame Committee at [email protected]
or contact David Mitchell ’65 (Chair, Hall of Fame Committee)
at 207 S. Jackson Street, Arlington, VA 22204. Forms can be
mailed to the Foundation at PO Box 41675, Arlington, VA 22204.
Data Data Data
The Foundation maintains a database of almost 25,000 records.
We use this information to help with reunions and share news
about Wakefield. We use it to mail this annual newsletter
each fall and to send ENews electronically about four times a
year. Thanks to the work of Rich Lyons ’60, we have done a
large review of our database. Using all kinds of tricks, he has
tackled the database class by class to get updated information
about the alumni, staff and friends in our database. That only
helps us find mailing addresses, not email addresses. Please
let us know your email address. And, if we’ve made a mistake,
let us know that. Dealing with so many entries, we sometimes
have to take a leap of faith that we have the right name and
address and that the person is part of the Warrior Nation.

ALL Classes – The Wakefield Band Program is inviting
all band-alumni back for a great reunion concert and event!
On the weekend of May 15 and 16, 2015, Wakefield will host
its first ever Band Reunion and Concert. It is time to dust off
those old instruments and chops and come back to play with
your friends! The tentative Schedule is for a Friday evening
(5/15) rehearsal followed by a reception, a Saturday morning
(5/16) rehearsal and a Saturday Night Concert. Come make
music with old friends and meet some new ones! They are
looking for volunteers to help plan the event. For more info
or to volunteer your help, please contact Band Director Denny
d’Alelio at [email protected] or visit http://tinyurl.

1956 - Those of us in the FIRST graduating class from
Wakefield High School are so proud to be a part of the history
of our school. We continue to cherish our friendships from so
long ago. Perhaps email is helping us keep in touch. Many
classmates are asking “Are we going to have a 60th Reunion?”
Well, why not? Save the date - October ??, 2016 (exact date
to be determined). Please remember to send me updates
of yours and your classmates’ addresses, emails, and phone
numbers. We would love to have current pictures of what you
are doing to put on the website. - Kris Frank Falcon, kfalcon@
comcast.net or phone 703-743-1443.
1958 - The class of ’58 had a mini reunion at Sunset Beach,
North Carolina on the first weekend in September 2014. Many
thanks to Frank and Elyse McLearen. Thanks to Roberta
“Birdie” Marchant Jennings for all the email roundups! Folks
came Thursday to Sea Trail and had drinks and snacks at
Frank’s before going to dinner. Friday they went to the beach,
swam or shopped. Some of us shared condos. Scott and Kathy
Daniel, Susan Sanders Hill (with books on her trips and art
glass), Joy Toadvine McDonald (with bike to ride), Pat Dix Sher,
Dick and Jackie Ward, Keggers and Sissie Simpson, Charlie
and Nancy Whitney Vickers, Ronnie Lee, Ron Terwilliger
(who flew in and was met by Ronnie Lee), Keith and Judy
Betts, John Thompson and his friend Sarah, and Susan O’Hara
Christopher partied Friday night. The dinner was a catered
dinner at the Pink Palace (fried chicken, ribs, potatoes, beans,
cake, etc!). By Saturday, more folks arrived. Miles and Evy
Kay Sandin with friends Harriet and Noel Pinkard (who went
to VMI with our classmates). Saturday night we heated up the
leftovers and had the fire department come because the alarms
went off. We really have hot parties. Our website (jamesrbrett.
com/WakefieldHS58/58frontpage.htm) has pictures.
Our class is hoping to have more mini reunions in
other areas of the country. We can go by bus, train, plane
or cars. Our plans will be on our website. Our scholarship
fund for the class of ’58 is managed by Arlington Community
Foundation which now gives $1500 for a Wakefield scholarship.

1959 - On Saturday, September 27, the Wakefield Class of
1959 held its 55th Reunion. Forty-nine classmates and twentyone guests celebrated at Clyde’s at Tyson’s Corner. Thanks to
Edy Rogers Bulthies who took on the challenge of organizing
the reunion. She did a wonderful job of getting things done
and coordinating the event. Dan Kramer arranged an excellent
dinner and breakfast on Sunday. Tom Rowlett, the class
webmaster, provided music for the evening. Pat and Steve
Arntson created the name tags. Stuart Steel, Ginny Jacobs
Seacrist, Barbara Selfridge and others contacted many of our
classmates and invited them to the reunion. Parker Deal set up
a memorabilia display. Tom Dunn served as the photographer.
Again, thanks to Pat and Steve for creating and updating the
“In Memory Boards” which honors the seventy classmates
who have died.
The highlight of the evening was “Open Mike” time.
Attendees were invited to share remembrances and stories
about our time at Wakefield. Many in the Class of ’59 entered
Wakefield the day it opened, as seventh graders, and then
graduated six years later. There were many funny stories. One
or two classmates reflected on the changes in our world since
we started at Wakefield. Others paid tribute to the staff and
faculty who guided and helped us get ready for the future. One
classmate said he did not realize how well he was prepared for
college until he entered his freshman year. That sentiment was
echoed by others. Many said that faculty members encouraged
and challenged them to value their education. The values,
taught at Wakefield, still resonate with them today.
Most classmates commented on how much they
enjoyed the reunion, the sharing of stories and renewing old
friendships. Many of those friendships go back 65 years. By
all measures, the Class of 1959 had a very successful reunion.
Folks are already planning the 60th reunion. - Tom Hawkins
1960 - The Reunion Committee is in the planning stages for
our Class of ’60 55th reunion scheduled for October 9, 10, and
11, 2015, the Columbus Day Weekend, at the Hilton Washington
Dulles Hotel next to Dulles Airport off of route 28. Details
about how to register will be forthcoming. Now would be a
good time to make some comments about what you liked about
the 50th reunion and what didn’t work for you. The Committee
often works in a vacuum on these matters and could use a little
guidance. So don’t be bashful, come right out and say what
you would like and not like.
The 7th annual Sarasota Spring Break Mini-Reunion
will be held May 7-10, 2015, a prelude to our 55th Class Reunion
that Fall. The Mini-Reunion is also known as “Ken’s Party in
Paradise”, a relaxing and entertaining chance to walk in the
sun and visit with old friends. The 7th annual gathering in
Sarasota will be more of what it’s been in the past - another
fabulous several days getaway to great spring weather in
beautiful settings.
You can contact any member of the Reunion
Committee to express your thoughts. You can find their contact
information at http://wakefieldalumni.org/classes/1960/
index.html. You can also contact me at 101 Glasgow Court;
Stephens City, VA 22655 or 540-869-2283 or rwlyons2001@

1963 - SAVE THE DATE! SATURDAY, APRIL 11, 2015
- Most of the Class of ’63 turns 70 in 2015. We’re planning a
mini-reunion to get together and celebrate this event. Details
will follow. To send details we need any changes in your contact
information. You can send that to [email protected]
or to Susan Saulmon Trice at [email protected]. - Susan
Trice
1964 - The class of ‘64 had a very successful 50th Reunion
in September. The weekend included a Friday Meet and Greet,
a bus tour of Arlington, a chance to play golf, a Saturday night
dinner and a Sunday picnic. The committee produced a book
filled with history, photos, profiles and more. To get a copy,
contact Joyce Mills Wofle at [email protected].
1965 - We are doing the preliminary ground work for a 50th
reunion to be held sometime in 2015. If you have received a
post card or an email - PLEASE respond to us. Remember that
“no” is a valid response. We also need to validate that we have
a contact address for all of our class members. Contact me at
[email protected]. – John Abbott
1967 - The Class of ’67 is well-represented on both the class
reunion website, classreport.org/usa/va/arlington/whs/1967
and also on Facebook. The classreport site is primarily for
reunion planning and messaging and is maintained by Jessie
Bradley Knapp and Karen Roos Sikorski, your liaisons with the
Alumni Association. Virginia Castlen Vertiz hosts a Facebook
group, Wakefield High School 1964-1970 that is great for keeping
in touch, discussions, and planning mini-get-togethers. It also
has lots of pictures. Bookmark both of these and check them
often.
We are definitely planning a 50 year class reunion in
2017. We are working to update our class information and
would appreciate it if you would take a little time to review
not only your own information on the classreport site but also
to look at the missing and deceased lists. We welcome any
corrections and additional information you can provide. Email
addresses are especially wanted as the price of postage makes
snail mail very costly.
It was great to see the Class of ’67 well-represented
at the Wakefield 60th anniversary party in 2013. Classmates
attended the all-decade dance, the school Open House, and
the ’65-’67 mini-reunion. Check out the pictures on the Alumni
Association website! We send all of you wishes for health and
happiness, and we hope to see you at the 50th Reunion in just a
few more years. If you would like to send us private messages
(as opposed to posting on websites), we may be reached at:
Jessie: [email protected], Karen: KRSfromVA@aol.
com or Both: [email protected] - Jessie and Karen
food, beverages, etc. will be provided via our Facebook page.
We do not intend to send out mass mailings via the USPS nor
via email. Tickets will be available at the door the night of the
event payable by cash only. – Alan Steele
1980 - The Class of 1980’s Reunion Committee warmly
invites all our fellow classmates to celebrate OUR 35th Reunion
on the weekend of July 10-11, 2015. We kick off the weekend on
Friday, July 10th at O’Malley’s Pub at the Crowne Plaza Tyson
Corner Hotel for a rousing ice breaker. (All classes are welcome
and no cover charge). On the morning of Saturday, July 11th
we will tour the new Wakefield building and do lunch at a South
Arlington restaurant. On the evening of Saturday, July 11th, we
will be bringing our memories and dancing shoes to the Grand
Atrium in Vienna, VA for a memorable Dinner Dance at this
beautiful two-story venue. Tickets are only $75 per person for
hors d’oeurvres, full dinner buffet, dancing and open bar. A
limited amount of hotel rooms are available at a discount rate of
$84 at the Crowne Plaza Tysons Corner Hotel. For reservations
call 1-877-865-1877. Watch for more registration information

Is One the Loneliest Number
That You’ve Ever Heard?
Every year, Peter Arntson ’56, founder of the Foundation, studies the
list of donors and always comments on the number of new donors.
This year, we asked him why. His answer is below.
Of course it is very encouraging to see the names of those who have
contributed for a number of years. We have a solid base of Wakefield
alumni and friends who give each year. But it really helps to see new
names followed by a “(1)” being added to the list of supporters. You
may ask why? And the answer is that they are first time contributors
to the Foundation who have decided to join their classmates and the
other supporters and have decided to add their names to our joint
efforts to help at least some of the students attending our old school to
be able to pursue their educational goal of attending college. Those
contributors identified with “(1)” indicate that our base of supporters
is growing. Remember that everyone initially was a “(1)”. Obviously
we hope that in future years those number “(1)”s will become “(2)”s,
“(3)”s, etc. It is only by attracting new supporters that the Wakefield
Foundation will grow and be able to help more students. So, if you have
not contributed before please consider doing so this year. Any amount
no matter how small is greatly appreciated The Wakefield Foundation,
and the Wakefield students, need all of the help it, and they, can get. So
please be a part of it! - Pete

Wakefield Scholars
After selecting a class of scholars, each class is assigned an alumni-contact who follows their progress through the life of the
scholarship. At the end of each semester, the scholar sends a letter and a copy of their grades for that semester to the contact.
The alumni-contact then follows up with a letter to the scholar. Since Peter Arntson ’56 created the Foundation, we’ve given over
$1.6 million to 321 Wakefield Scholars. In 2014, we committed to give $10,000 to students attending four-year schools and $4,000
to students attending the Northern Virginia Community College after they graduated from Wakefield. We also awarded $4,000
to two students who have finished at NOVA and are going on to complete their education at a four-year school. The scholarship
amount is distributed by semesters. You can see the large number of folks who help us help these students with their donations,
large and small, in the Honor Roll of Donors. Being selected as a Wakefield Foundation Scholar is considered to be a great honor
among the students at Wakefield. To see a full list of all Wakefield Scholars, go to WakefieldAlumni.org. We’re proud that we’ve
been around long enough that some our scholars are now our donors.
Class of 2011
Class of 2013
$140,000 Given
Number of Scholars: 5 NoVa, 15 four-year, 5 one-time grants
$146,000 Given
All of the 2011 scholars are doing well and, with one exception
(due to family problems, not academics), are on track to
graduate next spring. This past semester was one of pushing
the boundaries of comfort - all the scholars added to the
normal course load by taking extra classes, in several cases
in addition to the added responsibilities of jobs and course
related activities. It is not surprising that they all did well, and
learned that when they push themselves and focus on a goal,
they can make it. To a person, all of the 2011 scholars thank the
foundation for their support, because without us, some of them
would not be college seniors. – John Abbott ’65
Maybe the best way to share an update about the 2013 scholars
is to share some quotes from the letters I received. One scholar
wrote “I want to reiterate my personal thanks to the trustees
of the Foundation as well as the entire Wakefield community
who support the Foundation through its contributions, for
continuing to support me as a recipient of one of the 2013
scholarships. The funds received for my second term have
significantly contributed to my academic success in college by
partially alleviating the burden of tuition and other expenses,
such as pricey textbooks and dining expenses.” Another wrote
“My family and I are really grateful for the financial support
that we received from the Wakefield Education Foundation
because it truly made a difference in my college education!”
And, another wrote “I’m currently working on my first
publication titled The Gift of a Disability. The book is written as
a personal memoir in conjunction with some of my research
findings. Academically it has been a very challenging and
busy year but I have managed to do well and maintained my
GPA. I have demonstrated the knowledge and leadership that
Wakefield prepared me with. It has allowed me to be successful
academically.” - Catherine Wilson ’63
Class of 2012
$138,000 Given
At the end of the second year of college, the 2012 scholars
report a variety of experiences. One has finished his pre-med
coursework and is taking the MCAT this fall. This same student
is an undergraduate teaching assistant and tutors as well while
maintaining his Dean’s List status. Others have found the
rewards of service to others while also maintaining their places
on the Dean’s List. One student has become the Philanthropy
Chair of his pre-law fraternity and worked to raise money to
support ALS research (pre-buckets of ice water). Another
student is hoping to advance her major in South American
Studies by studying abroad next year. Having completed more
coursework, several students have changed majors and are
already pursuing part-time jobs or volunteer opportunities in
their new areas of interest. Several Scholars had difficult times
with loss and illness and report, that with help and support,
they are back on track and looking forward to this new school
year. Even with these difficulties, looking at their transcripts,
they worked successfully to maintain their academic progress.
Most of the NOVA scholars completed their two-year programs.
One student, who completed her associates program early,
applied for and received the new NVCC Continuing Scholarship
and is pursuing her four year degree at VCU.
All the Scholars express their continued gratitude for the
Scholarships they have received. To quote the student taking the
MCAT this fall, “I promise to work very hard and to give back to
Wakefield at some point in my life.” - Millie Mohler Lawson ’63
8
Class of 2014
$145,500 Given
Number of Scholars: 5 NoVa, 2 Post NoVa, 12 four-year,
5 one-time grants
As the 2014 Wakefield scholars begin their college lives, they
take with them diverse interests but many of the same goals.
Five of them will stay close at NOVA, ten more will stay in
Virginia, five will travel to other east coast campuses, and two
will head for California. Their current goals include majors in
law, medicine, business, engineering and the arts. Almost half
see their futures including international relations or community
service. Wakefield has prepared them well; the Education
Foundation will help them fulfill their dreams. - Peggy Linden
Johnson ’66

Notes From Alumni
Andy Barker (’59) has created a photography book of
Kamakura, Japan. John Wertime (’59) wrote to us about his
classmate’s book. John says it contains sixty pages of aesthetic
delights and cultural insights that few publications can match.
Andy has been a longtime resident of Japan and is a wellknown photographer. According to John. This book is not only
a visual treat, but an astute introduction to the Japanese love of
nature, ritual, and color, as well as their refinements in living,
dressing, and building. A Google search will produce reviews
of the book and an App on ITunes.
Linda Ciccolella Marchman (’70) has written a book, Gone
Astray about a cat that is shuttled around as a kitten, winds
up in an animal shelter, runs away and faces rejection and
abandonment, encounters some of her former friends, and
experiences unbridled joy and contentment in her travels. You
can also visit www.socialbtrflies.com to find out about Linda’s
butterfly business.
Laura Coulter Thomas (’66) reports that in September 2013, her
3rd generation homebred Arabian yearling gelding, Khorsani
LA, culminated a short but winning show year by capturing
the 2013 U.S. Arabian Sport Horse National Championship
2014 Wakefield Foundation

Purebred Arabian Yearling Colt/Gelding class. Laura and her
husband viewed the September National Championship title as
a 43rd wedding anniversary gift from their horses since the win
took place two days after their anniversary. If you want to keep
up with the many accomplishments of Laura’s Arabians, you
can view their web site, ladamasarabians.com.
Bill DeCosta (’63) is not idly sitting around in his retirement.
He has written a booklet titled “Hoboes and Tramps in the
1890’s: Washington , D.C.” In 1895, there were 4,137 vagrants
committed to the Work House in the District. Some said that
conditions there were worse than the city jail. In January 1899,
for instance, there were 314 inmates for 216 beds. Bill talks
about the different areas where these people had camps in the
area, resources that were established to help them and how they
were dealt with in the legal system. As part of his research, Bill
identified 3,000 individual homeless people from this period
and turned that information over to libraries. His pamphlet
lists some of the more colorful. John Kelly of The Washington
Post wrote about Bill’s book and research in his August 11, 2014
column. According to Kelly, Bill became enchanted with this
lifestyle when he was a boy and his mother brought home a book
for him from the library called The Jungle. His mother thought
it was about animals or Tarzan. Little did she know that it was
about “jungles”, which is the name for the makeshift camps
where these people lived. The Wakefield Alumni Association
has a copy of Bill’s pamphlet in their archives.
Esther Greenfield (’61) writes that her book Tough Men in Hard
Places has been published. It is a collection of 151 vintage
photos showing how men braved avalanches, snowstorms and
rugged mountain terrain to bring electric power to Colorado. It
can be found on Amazon.

John Solomon (’62) writes that after retiring a little over four
years ago, he and his wife sold their house and cars and
purchased a sailboat. They lived on the boat for over three
years, spending winters in the Bahamas, sailing between the
islands. In the spring, they would sail back to the east coast
of the USA and spend the summer and fall going up and down
the coast spending most of their time in the Chesapeake Bay.
They have now sold the boat and are in the process of moving
to Richmond.
Jim Vandelly (staff) wrote to say “When you are really bored,
you can go to YouTube and type in Jim Vandelly, or Jim Vandelly
Award, and see what I’ve been up to lately. (hint: Music!).

* 2013 was the 60th Anniversary of Wakefield. The celebration associated with that increased contributions and
expenses. ** Our Scholars have a high graduation rate, about 92%. But some, for a variety of reasons, are unable to
finish college in a reasonable time frame. After working with them, we sometimes make the hard decision to revoke
their scholarship. Questions? Contact Jim Jones ’86 [email protected].
To save money, we try to only send one “Warrior News”

anyone who might want to be part of the Warrior Nation.
