Annie Wright School - Shield Yearbook (Tacoma, WA)

Text from Pages 1 - 168 of the 1984 volume:

SHIELD TO 1984 ■ ow lovely is thy dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yea, faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God. Blessed are the men whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are the highways to Zion . . They go from strength to strength; the God of gods will be seen in Zion. O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer-, give ear, O God of Jacob! Behold our shield, O God; look upon the face of thine annointed! For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness. For the Lord God is a sun and shield; he bestows favor and honor. No good thing does the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, essed is the man who trusts in thee! Psalm 84 HERITAGE One hundred years the Annie Wright way is the legacy. Many have come before, and many will follow. This Centennial Year is a landmark in time commemorating past triumphs and hope for a bright future. p TRADITION Ritual spiced with love and seasoned by age produces the Annie Wright Way. Honor the established ways — they are part of the glue that holds us together. STRENGTH Working, learning, growing — improvement even if it hurts is part of the Annie Wright Way. The challenges we have overcome enable us to conquer more tomorrow. We can be more than we are now if we try. The Centennial Class of 1984 would like to dedicate this yearbook to Annie Wright in thanks for the heritageof which we are a part, the tradition that makes the school a special part of us, and the strength that equips us to move forward. We have learned, grown, changed — become more than we were when we came. As we leave we realize that Annie Wright did not make us, but helped us become. 5 Administration Mr. Klarsch makes his announcement about the Kemper Cen- ter. Mr. Robert D. Klarsch Robert Klarsch came to Annie Wright from Wyoming Seminary in Pennsylvania. He is very excited about the school, its centennial celebration and the students and faculty. Not only does he spend his time raising money, signing documents and such; he also spends some time coaching the powder puff football team which played a game against Charles Wright this fall. Coach Bob exhorts his team on to Betty Beacher-Reading Kev.

Miss French ' s World Literature classes staged a re-enactment of a sym- posium, an ancient Greek dinner at which several philosophers lounged on pillows, ate, and discussed life and love. In order to come to the event, students and teach- ers had to wear togas, and come pre- pared to discuss the topic of the evening: the role of women in society. Students brought many delicious foods including baklava, Easter break, olives, feta cheese, and Greek salad. Due to a shortage of main dishes at the potluck. olive pizza was ordered from Domino ' s.

Ice Cream Day September 16, 1983, a grey day, seemed to brighten a bit as seven motors kicked into gear and started churning ice, cream, and other ingredients known only to fifth graders. The ice cream party was held on the cloister and eaten by lower school students and faculty members. This annual event is always staged by the fifth grade class. 113 Halloween The annual Lower School costume parade is a much anticipated event by both the Lower School and Upper School students. Many a monster and other unique creatures march down the halls while older students watch with curiosity. When they ar- rive in the Great Hall, each grade performs a spooky song for everybody ' s entertainment; including par- ents. It is a fun and much loved celebration. 114 Lower School Student Council Lower School Student Council was very busy in 1983-1984. We started a used record and tape sale that was conducted at the Christmas Carnival. We are also planning other exciting activities like a newspaper drive and a raffle. In addition, we got a great deal accomplished by writing an official constitution for our organization. (Front row. left to right) Darcy Chevalier. Annie Habedank. Janie Rue. Liberty Jerentkowski.

Despite their late start, the cross country team ran to a winning season sending one runner, Margaret Smith, to the state meet in Spokane. Running against other teams of girls and boys, the team made a good showing in all of their meets. Overall, the team came in a close second place in the district meet, and two girls received ribbons. The coach, Mrs. Layton, raved about her team ' s performance in their initial season. Adrienne Fort and Jodi Gustavson listen with rapt attention to the pep talk given by Coach Layton.

The 1984 Centennial Celebration represents an appropriate occasion for reflection on the needs of our School and the programs and facilities required for continued success, now and in the future. Since Annie Wright School moved to its present campus in 1924, the physical facilities have remained essentially as they were sixty years ago. Recognizing the need for renovation and modernization, the Board of Trustees began a comprehensive process of long range planning more than two years ago. Its objective was the develop- ment of a master plan for the renovation of the School which would focus on sustaining excellence while developing for the future. The following determinations were made by the Board of Trustees in 1983: A. The School should build a new multi-purpose athletic and performing arts facility to house a far broader and more comprehensive physical education and performing arts program. B. It should renovate the building and expand the science facilities. C. It should increase endowment for faculty compensation and initiate academic and extra-curricu- lar programs. These goals and priorities, projections and plans form a blueprint for the years ahead — a blueprint that provides compelling rationale for a Centennial Campaign of $4,500,000 dollars. The following alumnae, parents and friends of Annie Wright School have offered to serve as key members of the Centennial Campaign, an effort which will help Annie Wright meet the needs outlined by the Board of Trustees.

Will Educating Young Women For Self-Reliance A THEME FOR THE CENTENNIAL CAPITAL CAMPAIGN Educating self-reliant young women is and always has been the goal of Annie Wright. Graduation has meant a beginning, not an end. Self Reliance, as essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson, offers the sound advice: there is a time in every man ' s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better or for worse as is his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on the plot of ground which is given to him to till ' This lucid statement encourages each individual to think for himself and act upon his thoughts with vigor. No better advice could be given to the young woman, the student of The Annie Wright School, who is about to embark upon her life on the edge of the twenty-first century. The challenges she will face will be myriad and the options from which to choose to direct her life, innumerable. The future requires that she have a firm grasp of what is valuable, a commitment to those values and the ability to exercise them in a meaningful way. She must have acquired the skills and competencies to not only understand the world around her, but to select from the numerous possibilities postured and make a commitment to the ones that she chooses. Making well-informed choices requires a self-reliant spirit. Numerous graduates of Annie Wright have demonstrated the self-reliance and leadership that the School, throughout its 100 years, has tried to inculcate. It is remarkable to review the careers that Annies have mastered. Their influence and leadership has been felt throughout a kaliedoscope of professions. Less visible but of equal importance are the many alumnae who have dedicated their lives to the success of their families and to the improvement of their communities. The accomplishments of the alumnae justifies the wisdom and vision of Annie Wright ' s founders. The achieve- ments we observe encourage our School to maintain our strong commitment to today ' s students as we launch into our second century. 141 $2.25 Million Gift To AWS On October 7, 1983 Headmaster Robert Klarsch announced a $2.5 million gift to The Annie Wright School. The gift was made by R. Crosby Kemper II, chairman of the Board of the Enid and Crosby Kemper Foundation of Kansas City. Mo. The gift, given to Annie Wright in honor of Mr. Kemper ' s mother, Enid Jackson Kemper, a 1915 Annie graduate, will be used for the construction of a new athletic and performing arts center, one of the School ' s primary needs as determined by the Board of Directors. The Kemper gift put the Centennial Campaign halfway to its $4.5 million goal and gave the entire campaign a tremendous impetus for success. The proposed athletic and performing arts center will provide the athletic drama, dance, and music depart- ments with much needed resources and facilities. It will enable the School to strengthen and enhance both our athletic and performing arts programs and will provide a place to which we can bring cultural events for the enrichment of students ' lives. It will also become a vehicle by which the School can encourage and cultivate more community involvement and interaction with our friends in Tacoma.

Situated so as not to disturb the delightful view of Comme ncement Bay and Mount Rainier, the new center will be built mostly underground, giving it the added advantage of energy efficiency. An architectually compatible brick exterior will be used to blend the main building with this new addition, the roof of which will provide a large grassy commons and recreation space for all students. The center will be served by a common lobby, locker, and shower facilities and the gymnasium will have a full- sized basketball court. 142 ENID JACKSON KEMPER 15 In 1915, The Annie Wright School presented diplomas to eight young women. One of them was Enid Jackson, daughter of Dr. Robert Jackson, founder of the Roman Meal Company in Tacoma. Enid entered Annie Wright in 1911 in the ninth grade. An active student, taking the customary classes, including Math, English, Biology, Spanish, German and Bible during one term, she was also on the AWS basketball team. In 1921, Enid married Rufus Crosby Kemper, who became the Chairman of the Executive Committee of United Mis- souri Bancshares, Inc. They made their home in Kansas City, Missouri where Mrs. Kemper was very active in the cultural and social life of that growing city. She is credited with helping preserve the Kansas City Philharmonic by founding the Jewel Ball and with developing the American Royal into one of the premier horse and cattle exhibitions in the world. The list of her other accomplishments and contributions to the cultural, charitable, civic and wartime efforts in the Kansas City area are nearly countless. She was an extremely active, generous woman. Mrs. Kemper had three children, a son and two daugh- ters. Her son, R. Crosby Kemper II, dedicated an endow- ment of $2.5 million to the Annie Wright School in his mothers memory. It is fitting that an alumna so much involved in cultural development and preservation should be remembered through her alma mater s performing arts and athletic center. 1915 graduating class.
