Abbot Academy - Circle Yearbook (Andover, MA)

The Circle 1973 ■ RELUDE m ■ Before the Pause Donald A. Gordon Faculty Administration This year is unique in the history of Abbot. It encompasses the dissipation of an institution and its reformation into a new character. The moment has been transitory and discarded for an uncertain future. The merger has been distant and intangible. Frustrating, despairing, and anxious would be realistic impressions. But the essence of the community transcends this and settles into each one of us. We are a people. We coax one another through fearful changes and ride our waves of discovery. Without consciousness, we have committed ourselves to each other. Immersed in the exchange, it becomes more difficult to remember how much we have grown. Who was so wise to say the mountain is clearer from the plain? If we can extend further than ourselves, we can see we have many to thank. Without Eton Gordon, we would not be. His patience and his faith have been the current that sustains our growth. His dedication to a culture and genuine consideration for a people has generated an endless bounty of vitality among us all. We give him our unspoken respect and appreciation. We appreciate our faculty for their will to communicate and understand. Their concern has transformed an academic " earth " into a field of expression and exploration. Learning can be an adventure. Teachers and students have taught one another with a fearless drive to make that exchange. The relationship is personal rather than impressionable. As Abbot loses its present, we have much to feel for the past. And as for our destiny, we have careful guidance and a quality of human values to help us through the labor of rebirth.

Elton John Yes, it ' s meant a lot to us to start anew and, brimming with life, to enter this world and find new life awaiting our exploration. For us it seems the Abbot world has given more opportunity to grow and change than it gave to any before or will give to any hence. We arrived to find Abbot in the restless calm that followed a gale, a gale of change that strew Abbot ' s old ways into a thousand directions. We eagerly joined in the activity of cleaning up the storm strewn pieces following whatever whim seemed to beckon us particularly. We have since lived in an expanding environment that has given not more nor less room than we needed to expand our own internal lives. We were lucky to find Abbot as we did. We were infinitely lucky to find a world that would lend us support in all our efforts to reach our special destinations; support unconscious, save for the details that none of us learned to accept! And now we are caught standing at the bend in the road, very anxious for the future, for we find that the road and those travelling behind have merged with the landscape and disappeared. If we could just turn around and encourage those travelers as we were encouraged, but they are gone. We stand here a bit stunned in discovering that we are the last to leave our blessings and thanks. We want to ask why but the somewhere we never thought existed has appeared and beckons us beyond. We haven ' t time to gather up all the thoughts of ages of travellers. We can simply leave our own blessings and thanks. And so to Abbot, whose world turns its final circle, our love, our gratitude, and the pieces of our lives are left tucked gently in the notion of your eternity.

Wendissimo Gamble Charlissimo Hamlin Josie Martin It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way — in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Spring is not so much a season that lasts only a few weeks as it is a state of being that can last within a soul for a lifetime. No man can, for any length of time, wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which is the true one.

" Oh, you ' re sure to do that, " said the Cat, " if you only walk long enough. " Lewis Carrol Alice in Wonderland Karen Pernokas A man needs a little madness or else . . . Or else?

" Carnival " Marcia McCabe Judith Webster Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that the dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.

We don ' t always believe we ' re listening, or being listened to, but we know when enough is enough, and when to leave (is that good? you ask) Which brings me back to the fact that this is to me pals to whom I can really say nothing.

" Jonathan nodded obediently. For the next few days he tried to behave like other gulls; he really tried, screeching and fighting with the flock around the peers and fishing boats, diving on scraps offish and bread. But he couldn ' t make it work. It ' s all so pointless, he thought, deliberately dropping a hard-won anchovy to a hungry old gull chasing him. I could be spending all this time learning to fly. There ' s so much to learn! It wasn ' t long before Jonathan Gull was off by himself again, Far out at sea, hungry, happy, learning.

Marianne Mulholland No one asked for third. September rolled around to the unfamiliar faces, and disillusioning dorm meeting reinforced the myth of a misunderstood adolescent. Only nine months to go. An existentialist code was born with Marianne as our guiding light. Good things happen when you merely exist. Mint Juleps on the porch with Josie, to the bleating of the guards, fellow indulgers. The enticing aroma of popcorn brought unlikely groups together to discuss such varying topics as crew, Far and Middleast relations, clothes and Women ' s Lib. Someone always knew a lot, and everyone else would say yeah. We ' d all seen Sullivan ' s show in ' 64. The Beatles were really yeah, yeah, yeah and it was a good answer. No hassles. Ugh. One real attracting force to the third floor was Marianne. Marianne Mulholland was our housemother, also living existentially, and helping us through a trying time. Only J.D. Salinger, James Taylor, Kahlil Gibran, May Irwin and Josie Martin could describe third floor adequately.
