Pinkham Hall... Named One Hundred Twenty Six Years After Construction
By Carolyn J. Smith
At Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s
June Reunion 2005, a long-overdue
name for the old, original building
was announced by Past Board President Roberta Wallace Stearns ’57
as many alumni gathered, in
that very same old building,
to renew their connections
with their beloved school and
with each other. The building
was named for and dedicated
to the memory of Eleanor
“Polly” Tasker Pinkham ’40
and her husband Walter
“Junior” Pinkham Jr. ’39.
Roberta Stearns, who knew
the Pinkhams very well, commented that it was rather sad that
both had died without knowing
that their dedication and commitment to the school they so dearly loved
and so truly served would be memorialized in
such a momentous way. Walter died ten years ago and Polly
passed away in February 2004.
Polly, in particular, had an enormous impact on the lives
of young CBNA graduates. As Chair of the CBNA Alumni Association Scholarship Committee for years, Polly’s name was
synonymous with generosity. She began the scholarship program in the early 1970’s and kept it going by soliciting donations door-to-door in the community; the interest on the entire
amounts she raised each year was donated directly to scholarships for Coe-Brown Northwood Academy students.
When a local woman, Esther Crandall, gave Polly’s scholarship program a gift of $5,000 in the late 1970’s, it was with
the understanding that only the interest could be awarded.
Over the years the fund grew, with Polly’s careful tending, into
nearly $100,000, with most of the money invested in government securities, and a small amount kept in a money market
savings account for dispersion. Over the years, as the scholarship fund grew, so did the scholarships, to amounts of $500
and $1,000 being awarded annually during Commencement
ceremonies. And so, each year, as the Alumni Scholarships
are announced, many in the audience will remember the
benefactor who created and managed the Alumni Scholarship
Fund so diligently and so well.
Polly’s involvement in civic affairs, while maintaining a
62-year career at Globe Firefighters, Inc. where she became
Vice President of Manufacturing, included her 13 years as the
town’s first female selectman. She was Police Commissioner
for Northwood, served on the Planning Board and served on
a number of town organizations, including the Budget Committee, Road Committee, Planning Board and the Bi-Centennial
Committee. In addition to all these activities, Polly found time
to enjoy gardening, camping and traveling.
When she announced the Pinkham Hall dedication,
Roberta Stearns commented, “Everyone knew where Polly
stood. She certainly was an independent person and the
Academy is independent of the town.”
Pinkham Hall is an elegant old Victorian, with its gorgeous tin ceilings intact. In the December 1890 edition of
Coe’s Academy Breeze, a little local newspaper, the gift made
through the munificence of Mr. E.S. Coe of Bangor, Maine, is
described: The Academy received the gift of a magnificent new
edifice, three stories high and basement, with recitation rooms
and ample halls, sufficient for the accommodation of at least
200 pupils.
Though renovated and modernized, the aura of
that gracious old
building still pervades. Known for
generations as ‘the
old building’ or ‘the
original building’,
Coe’s 1879 gift has
now, finally, been
dignified with an
outstanding name
that celebrates the
life and accomplishments of Polly
Tasker Pinkham for
her intelligence and
integrity, her conscientiousness, diligence, determination and enduring
concern for others. Eleanor “Polly” Tasker Pinkham ’40 and her husband
Generations ofCoe- Walter Pinkham, Jr. ‘39
Brown Northwood
Academy students have benefited from her philanthropy and
generations more shall as well. As her final legacy to the
school she and her husband so truly cherished, she left funds
to the Pinkham Endowment totaling $158,683.93.
Pinkham Hall is, finally, well and appropriately named.

2 VISIONS - FALL 2005
From Coe’s Academy Breeze, December 1890
This academy is now 23 years old, it being
incorporated under the laws of New Hampshire in 1867. The name was then Northwood
Academy, and the building, which is now the
wing of the present structure, stood on land between the parsonage and church. The top of the
cupola of this building now occupies a place
in the orchard back of the Principal’s home,
where it will doubtless, at some distant date,
serve as the roof of a summer house.
In 1875, the legislators changed the name
of the institution to Coe’s Northwood Academy, and four years later by the munificence
of Mr. E. S. Coe, of Bangor, Maine, the academy received the gift of a magnificent new
edifice, three stories high and basement,
with recitation rooms and ample halls, sufficient for the accommodation of at least
200 pupils. The grounds were graded at great
expense and a beautiful grove was fitted out
near the buildings. In 1887 the Principal’s home
was added by Mr. Coe, a large and commodious house fitted for the use of boarding pupils,
with ten acres of land and an adjoining wood
lot. Other improvements have been added from
time to time, till now the Academy can compare favorably with any in the state.
Principals: During the past 24 years the
Academy has had the following Principals:
Rev. E. C. Cogswell, 1866-1881; Ira W. Holt,
A.M., 1881-1884; Geo. W. Bingham, A.M.,
1884-1885; A. H. Arms, A.B., 1885-1886; W. P.
Kelley, A.B., 1886-1887; Rev. S. G. Norcross,
1887-1888; E. L. Blaine, A.M., 1888-1890;
F. L. Pattee, A.B., 1890Expenses: The tuition in all academic
branches is $20 per year. Board in private families can be secured at from $3.00 to $4.00
per week; room rent from $5.00 to $6.00 per
term. Pupils living near enough to the school
to return home on Friday nights, can secure
room, wood, lights and board at a charge of
$2.50 per week. Or, if wishing to stay the entire week, the same accommodations can be
secured at a charge of $3.50 per week. Let no
pupil within a radius of twenty-five miles of
the academy be debarred from attending on
account of expense. Rooms in abundance can
be secured at a low price, which the pupil
may fit up to board himself, and the whole
money cost of a term in the academy need
not exceed $15. At New Hampton, Tilton and
other academies, scores of young men board
themselves. Why not at Coe’s Academy?
Location: Northwood Centre is best
reached via Epsom and the Northwood Stage.
Pupils arriving at Epsom on the Suncook Valley railroad, any time before six o’clock p.m.,
can reach Northwood Centre the same night.
Few schools of the same grade are more fortunately located than Coe’s Academy in respect to freedom from temptation to evil. There
are no saloons or places where intoxicants are
sold; no places of idle resort and no foreign
population. The community is a sober and
church-going one. The discipline of the school
is mild, yet firm and decided.
Scenery: Strangers visiting Northwood
for the first time are always captivated by the
beautiful scenery by which it is surrounded.
The academy stands on a gentle rise, not a
stone’s throw from Harvey Lake, as beautiful
a gem as New Hampshire can boast. In summer its surface is covered with a profusion of
delicate water lilies. From the school room,
one’s eye can take in the whole expanse of
the lake at a glance, and watch its differing
moods and shades as the wind toys with its
waters or the water-fowl break its surface.
Courses: There are three courses of study:
the usual classical courses which prepares for
any American college; the English and Classical, which admits to the Latin Scientific Course
of nearly every New England college; the English course designed for those who do not
wish to pursue an education further than the
limits of the advantages opened by the Academy. Four exercises required of each pupil per
term, either essays or declamations. Diplomas
are awarded to those who satisfactorily complete any of the regular courses. No classes may
be formed after the beginning of the term.
Trustees of Coe’s Academy: The government of the academy is vested in a board of
eleven trustees, who have power to elect their
own successors. Albert O. Brown, A.M., President, Manchester; Hon. Woodbury M. Durgin,
Northwood Narrows; George W. Brown, A.M.,
Derry; William D. Watson, Secretary, Northwood Narrows; John G. Mead, Esq., Treasurer, Northwood Centre; John B. Clarke, Northwood Centre; John T. Cate, Northwood; John
M. Moses, A.M., Northwood Ridge; George
W. Cate, Amesbury, Mass.; Albert B. Moore,
Northwood Centre.
Alumni Association: The association meets
yearly. Albert O. Brown, President; Harriet
A. Sanborn, J. Edward Bartlett, Secretaries.
A Look at 1890
Northwood Centre, Dec. 8, 1890
“This little sheet, Northwood’s pioneer
paper, is published to advance the interests of
Coe’s Northwood Academy. This institution is
very much alive at the present time and is
growing daily. It now has three complete
courses of study to offer its patrons, courses
which are as well arranged and as complete
as are offered by any academy in the state. It
can now fit for all the leading colleges. Its
chemical and philosophical apparatus is of
the first-class, while it has a complete set of
surveying instruments and a library of nearly
one thousand volumes. Owing to the frequent
change of Principals during the past few years,
the Academy had reached a low ebb, but the
flow has now begun in the right direction and
for the past two years the growth of the school
has been a steady and uniformly increasing
one. Every energetic academy should have a
mouthpiece to sound forth to the world its
prosperity, and Coe’s Academy can no longer
keep silent.”
“The academy has for a long time had its
eyes upon the romantic little island in the lake,
only a stone’s throw from its belfry, but the
owners find equal attractions to it and refuse
to let it go. This could be easily made one of
the most charming parks in this section of the
state. When Coe’s Academy becomes Coe’s
University, all the colleges will turn green with
envy when they look from this fairy island
out upon our lovely little lake.”
Local News: “Cogswell Hall is now full to
overflowing. The Academy is now connected
by telephone with Bennett Hall. Mr. Cogswell’s
picture will be placed in the reception room.”
“A long needed improvement is being
made in the academy library. The bookcase
now in use which accommodates only a part
of the books and which has been an inconvenient and unsightly object so long, will be
removed and in its place will be constructed
a series of shelves capable of holding all the
books in the library. The cabinet containing
the geological specimens and the records will
be replaced by a more convenient one which
will allow some arrangement of the specimens
and at the same time be an ornament to the
room. This will contain a card catalogue to
the library.”
“Penmanship will probably be added to
the course soon. Those wishing to take painting
lessons can secure terms from the preceptress”.
“Anyone who has climbed Academy Hill
on a cold day will appreciate the name of this
sheet”.
“Football topics have taken the attention
of many of the pupils. Sympathy is generally
with Yale.”
“The pond is frozen and the skating fine.
The weather this past week has been cold
enough to satisfy the most critical.”
Betty '48 and George Geers '45 donated the old publication to Coe-Brown Northwood Academy's Archives. The Geers' son had purchased the 1890 paper at an auction.

ceremonies at which, degrees or diplomas are
conferred; the festivities at this time.
Craig Carlson, Jill Weeks, and Joshua Gagnon peeking out of doorway
For all these 136 years, in different places and in different
ceremonial robes or outfits, the graduating classes of the school
now known as Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, have begun
their adult lives when they took part in Commencement.
Graduation classes at the venerable old school were once
very small at Northwood Academy in 1867, which then became
Coe’s Northwood Academy by 1875.
In the years around 1905, young women dressed in stiffly
high-necked white Victorian gowns that had tiny cinched waists
and wore their hair swept high in pompadours. The young men
wore equally stiff,
high-necked,- boiled
collars and black
suits tightly buttoned
to mid-chest. Their
hair was shiny and
slicked back. The
twelve graduates of
the Class of 1905
were: Myrtle Frances
Brown, who married
Dr. A. E. Grant; Ina
Alice Clark; Charles
Everett Day, who married Ruth Corliss;
Myrtle Ola Day Hillsgrove; Edna Marie
Quimby; Harold Wallace Quimby; Harold
Merton Smith; Sarah
Whittier Swain; Bertha
Alice Trickey; Mina
Marshalls Holly Peterson and Nathan Bassett led
the processional.

Kearney; and Marie Sarah Watson Woodbury.
One hundred years later, at the May 27, 2005 Commencement ceremonies, young ladies still wore white but the young
men wore bright crimson, Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s
trademark colors.
Before the ceremony, the graduates and the hundreds and
hundreds of people who had come to participate in the festivities of Commencement 2005 smiled and hugged and wished
each other well. It was a joyous time as caps were straightened
and corsages were pinned on and places were found. Aboutto-become-graduates peered from the doorways, trying to find

their families in the throng. Kids wrote in each other’s yearbooks and whispered words in each other’s ears, to capture the
magic of this last evening when they would all be together as
a class. There was, of course, a hint of nostalgia, too.
And then this very large class of 144 students marched
into the gym to the traditional Pomp and Circumstance behind
the Class Marshalls, Nathan J. Bassett and Holly N. Peterson,
who elegantly kept time to the music performed by the CBNA
band with the traditional beribboned batons. In a wave of brilliant colors – white and crimson with splashes of gold, purple,
blue – and with radiant smiles, the young men and women of
2005 processed down the aisle and found their seats. The Rev.
Donald W. Plummer delivered a particularly memorable Invocation to the class in which his son Andrew is a member.
Class President Jon Philip Zamarron welcomed his classmates and the huge audience to the 137th Commencement.
The Valedictory address by Elsa G. Horne followed and Salutatorian Liana E. Merrill spoke after a lovely musical selection
by the CBNA Chorus.
A particularly moving tribute, by Bob Chadbourn, representative of the Saddleback Mountain Lion’s Club, praised
Joshua Crary for his steadfast courage and determination to
overcome a condition many of his classmates were not really
aware of, not because they didn’t care but because he drew no
attention to it. Legally blind, Joshua went about his days without complaint. When Mr. Chadbourne presented the scholarship to Joshua, his classmates surged to their feet applauding
his fortitude and brave character.
Science teacher Jean Cumings presented the CBNA Faculty and Staff Scholarships, one of which was awarded to
Joshua Crary, who will attend the University of New Hampshire where he plans to major in music. It was a particularly
exciting evening for Ms. Cumings, whose son Joel Kutylowski
was among the graduates.
James Colburn, President of the Board, and Douglas
Peterson, Trustee, assisted Headmaster
David Smith with the
presentation of diplomas. It was a very special evening for Mr.
Peterson, especially
when he presented
the diploma to his
son Derek. In keeping
with his tradition,
Mr. Smith tossed the
tassels of each graduate whom he had individually addressed,
all 144 of them, at
Baccalaureate three
evenings before.
The music was incredibly beautiful, the
sense of tradition and
the acknowledgment
of the past,present and
future of the school in
Northwood were palpable. It was a lovely,
festive ceremony.

CBNA Alumni Association’s Annual Banquet

On June 11, 2005, an extremely hot evening, one hundred
twelve alumni, spouses, friends and guests gathered in the
Gerrish Gym at Coe-Brown Northwood Academy to celebrate
a fun-filled evening of remembering, reconnecting, reflecting,
relaxing and reliving past days. Headmaster David Smith served
as Tour Director for the evening and many walked through
the wonderful new math and science building.
The Alumni Board provided refreshments for the social
hour prior to the banquet and Country Galley Caters in Strafford prepared a delicious meal, with seconds for those so inclined. Alumni Board President Sam Johnson ‘66 introduced
Headmaster David Smith who has, by the way, been in that
important position for the past 25 years. Mr. Smith briefly outlined what has recently been accomplished and goals for the
future of the Academy, stating “that none of the achievements
could have happened without the stewardship of the Board of
Trustees and the support of the community.” He noted that
the incoming freshman class of approximately 200 students
will begin academic year 2005-2006 in August and that the
student body will increase to 690.
Roberta Wallace Stearns ’57, Chair of the Development and
Alumni Affairs Committee of the Board of Trustees, noted that
the Board had achieved their goal of raising funds to complete
the new dining center located in the lower level of the new
math/science building. The 50th Reunion Class of 1955 gave a
donation toward the completion of the lakeside patio adjacent
to the dining center.
Roberta announced that the Board of Trustees had voted to
honor an alumna who had contributed much to the Academy.
Henceforth, the main building will be known as Pinkham Hall
in honor of Eleanor “Polly” Tasker Pinkham, Class of 1940,
who gave freely of her time and talent, one of which was serving for more than 25 years as Alumni Scholarship Chair and
Treasurer.
President Johnson introduced Class Agents attending the
banquet and thanked them for their help in updating the mailing list.
Reunion classes, ending in 0 or 5 from 1935 to 2000, were
acknowledged. All were saddened to learn that our alumna
Arlene Richardson Louden ‘26 had passed away in March 2005.
She had won the reunion award for the female representing
the earliest class in attendance for several years. Arlene had
attended her 78th reunion in 2004.
Recognition awards were given to Irene Brown Shores
Crummey ’35, Female Representative of Earliest Class; to Ted
Reese ’38, Male Representative of Earliest Class; to Sally Hoadley Low ’49, Attendee Traveling the Farthest - from the State
of Washington; to the Class of 1990 for being the class with
most members present; and to Tania Drown ‘2004, representative of the most recent class.

Profile of Betty Bailey Olivolo ‘67
By Roberta Wallace Stearns ‘57
Betty was the catcher on Coe-Brown Northwood
Academy’s softball team. Janice Baker Zalgenas
’67 and Joan Stevens Parent ’67 were her best
friends. She remembers giggling with them in
chemistry class. Of course, she claims “the boys”
made them do it. Specifically, she named David
Copeland ’66 and Gary Goldsmith ’66 as the
instigators! She remembers Helen Dodge, who
taught home economics, and Mr. Barron, her history teacher. Betty has fun memories of CBNA, and
those are in addition to the tales from her relatives
who also attended—her father, Carroll E. Bailey ’43, her stepmother Mary Ann Tasker Bailey ’46, her uncle Robert Bailey ’45,
her sister Beverly Bailey Copeland ’69, and Bev’s husband,
David Copeland ’66, her brother Charles E. “Chuck” Bailey
’72, her step-siblings: Cheryl Noyes Fitzgerald ‘65, Charlie
Noyes ‘66, Leslie Noyes ‘69, and Andy Noyes ‘75, as well as
many cousins who all share their memories about Coe-Brown
Northwood Academy.
After CBNA, Betty attended what is now Plymouth State
University and graduated with a major in elementary education and a minor in math. During her junior year she visited
“open schools” in England, before completing her student teaching in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. After graduating from PSU, she
was immediately offered a full scholarship at the University
of New Hampshire where she went into a 12-month Master’s
program in Early Childhood Development. The master’s schedule included a month of study, followed by a month of teaching, which continued for one year. Her months of teaching were
in an open classroom of first and second graders in a Manchester elementary school.
From 1972 to 1975, she taught second grade in Plymouth,
Massachusetts. Weather permitting, she donned her leather
jacket and rode her motorcycle to school. Those seven year
olds must have loved that! While in Massachusetts, she lived
two years in Marshfield, and it is there where she decided to
take flying lessons. Her future husband, Pat Olivolo, was one
of her flight instructors. She learned to fly in a Cessna 172
A Cessna 150, much like the 172 she flew
“Ho-Jo,” so named because it was orange and turquoise, the
colors of the Howard Johnson restaurants.
Her new husband Pat had lived previously in Washington,
DC and wanted to return. Betty’s first job in the DC area was
with the Montgomery County Public Schools in Maryland and
continued for the next five years. She taught first and second
grades in two different schools. While in Maryland, Pat and
Betty bought their first plane, a “Mooney”—a four seater with
12 VISIONS - FALL 2005
retractable gear. During this time she earned an instrument
rating and a commercial license.
In 1980, when her husband took a job with the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), they moved to Charleston, West
Virginia, where she again taught second grade for two years.
After she and her husband, who have since divorced, returned
to the Washington, DC area, she left public school teaching and
was fortunate to be offered a position with National Wildlife
Federation. There she directed the activities of NWF’s National Wildlife Week, an environmental education program that
annually reached more than 600,000 educators all over the
U.S. She developed packets of materials that included educator’s guides, full-color posters, and overhead transparencies, and
she also produced audiovisual programs. Betty’s second position at NWF was workshop coordinator for the NatureScope
program. Naturescope was an environmental education activity
Dinner with man who organized Taiwan's cricket fighting competition.
series published by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF),
which evolved from Ranger Rick magazine’s teaching materials.
Betty implemented and managed a national workshop program
using NatureScope. She conducted more than 50 workshops
for educators and administrators at state and national conferences and for teacher inservice training programs.
Her next job, from 1991 to 1993, was Program Coordinator
for the National Science Resources Center, where she planned
and coordinated science education leadership institutes, held
jointly by the Smithsonian Institution and the National Academy of Sciences, to prepare teams of administrators, curriculum specialists, teachers, and scientists to design and implement hands-on science programs for their school districts.
She also coordinated working conferences for scientists and
engineers to help them become effectively involved in the
reform of elementary science education.
After working in the “hard core” science field at NSRC,
Betty realized how much she missed the environmental educators. So she took a position as the National Director of Project
WILD. In this position she directed all activities and programs
for this international environmental education program. She
provided training and support to project sponsors in each of
the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and international sponsors through an annual conference, training workshops, newsletters, and other training materials. While at WILD, Betty initiated and completed a comprehensive long-range plan, which
guided the direction of Project WILD through 2000.
Betty’s final position in Washington, DC lasted nine years,
from 1996 to 2005—she was Manager of Education and Outreach for World Wildlife Fund (WWF). You might recognize
WWF as the large conservation organization with the panda
as its logo. At WWF, Betty coordinated the development of the
Windows on the Wild (WOW) materials, including activity
modules, posters and video kits; the “Suitcase for Survival”
program and materials in cooperation with the TRAFFIC, American Zoo and Aquarium Association, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service; and a traveling exhibition called “Biodiversity 911”
that traveled to about 20 science museums in three years.
With her usual sense of adventure, last spring Betty decided to resign her position at WWF; she sold her car, rented
the house where she had lived for twenty years and disposed
of all her possessions that wouldn’t fit in a 10’ x 10’ storage
unit. She arrived in Taiwan on June 28 to assume her duties as
Head Teacher of Kindergarten through Grade Six at the Cornel
English Language School, where she is now supervising Englishspeaking teachers from the U.S., Canada, and South Africa. After
a long day of ‘regular’ school, children of Taiwan often attend
another school to learn English. Friends who live in Taiwan
had advised her not to take a lot of clothes because clothing is
plentiful there. She was advised, however, to take shoes because the people of Taiwan have smaller feet than Americans
and getting shoes that fit her properly would be difficult.
In her first few months in Taiwan, Betty reports that life
there is very different: a different culture, different language,
and different people. Taiwanese are very friendly and helpful,
even when they don’t speak English (Most Taiwanese speak
Mandarin Chinese), but “white people” are a bit alien to them.
Many days can go by when Betty does not even see another
Caucasian except the teachers she works with. She is enjoying
this new adventure and is having fun making friends and exploring Taiwan. She wonders if any of you would like to come
for a visit!
When I asked her “What after Taiwan?” she said, “Maybe
I’ll move back to New England.” Before she left the United
States Betty excitedly went to Star Island, part of the Isle of
Shoals, off Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Her membership in
the Unitarian Church has taken her to Star Island for six years
and some of those years she went twice! Betty has gone to many
other places as well. She’s traveled to every state in the U.S, except South Dakota and Hawaii, and has been to all continents
except Australia and Antarctica. She’s climbed the Great Wall
and traveled to both west and east Africa.
Betty’s hobbies and interests are many. In addition to her
flying and motorcycling, in recent years, she joined a sailing
club in the DC area and has sailed on the Chesapeake Bay,
Greece and Belize, which is south of Mexico. She’s also a
speed walker (like her sister, Bev) and now strides along on
frequent walks in the parks in Taichung. She also enjoys photography and crafts. Her memberships reflect her broad range of
experiences: American Zoo and Aquarium Association; National
Science Teachers Association; Ninety Nines, Inc., International
Organization of Women Pilots; and North American Association for Environmental Education. She has been a training
consultant at the University of Maryland and at Howard University. She was a conference coordinator for the US Fish and
Wildlife Service and Environmental Education Consultant for
the Virginia Environmental Endowment.
Betty Bailey Olivolo is a Renaissance woman and a great
credit to Coe-Brown Northwood Academy.
