He has enriched our lives with compassion, laughter, and generosity of spirit. (And . . . who will ever forget those red bedroom slippers!) What is the value of the Fifth Day Meeting for Worship at Friends Academy? It would be presump¬ tuous of me to undertake to answer such a question for anyone other than myself, though many graduates as well as undergraduates have placed a high value on it. For me it represents a few moments of quiet in the middle of a busy week, the outer world with its noisy importunings shut out, leaving me free to consider the larger concerns of life, and to reach for the external. Have you ever watched a tight rope walker at the circus, balanced precariously on a thin wire high over the heads of the audience, courting a fatal plunge and disaster? If the acrobat carries a parasol the task is much easier, success more assured, for the parasol with its resistance to violent motion provides a stability that is otherwise lacking. Is Meeting something like that, a stabilizing force in a world that is not the least stable? William Masland Chairman of the Board of Trustees 30 November, 1976 a MEETING IS A TIME . . . . . when someone speaks and a special understanding, a feeling, or a personal bit of knowledge is shared. ” . . when I can turn away from problems and free my mind from strain. ” Thoughts from Upper School students “. . . in which I find myself. ” COLL si perm ions ►XXI r . 1 ► « • « ' ! ‘-•-H • ■ 5 HP � .Ml A i THE YEARBOOK STAFF STAFF COORDINATION DESIGN AND FORMAT Cindy Colombo BUSINESS Jane Colombo Jeri Zulli Nancy Seligson Jim Allen John Epler Penny Mealing Susan Schroeter Beth Shapiro 12 Special thanks to Karla Clement ’72, John Skrobe, Roger Erickson, Kathryn Abbe, and Jim Evans.

As we reflect on our past two years in high school, we set goals for the years ahead. We experience P.S.A.T.s and take the first concrete steps toward our senior year and college . There are so many ways to get involved as a junior. We have bake sales to raise money for class projects, such as the Junior Musical and Rose Karaki, the girl we sponsor in Africa. We are now one of the upper classes and are encouraged to exercise a position of leadership. It is our last year at Field Day, our chance to show the underclasspersons what it is to be a junior. After recovering from the S.A.T.s, a junior’s thoughts turn to the prospect of being a senior and the many new responsibilities and challenges that next year holds.

There was Wild Jim Evans and Crazy Horse Chuck; Janoska the Kid, and Robbie the Buck. They saw Glacier, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone Parks From a vehicle which was as big as an ark. They went hiking, touring, and riding around, And during the night they slept out on the ground. They ate food like ten gluttonous, ravenous apes, But then had to wash their own dishes and plates. They came face to face with elk, moose, and deer Without any significant traces of fear. They each got a hold of a fake metal gun And mugged for a picture which was all in fun. There’ll be more trips like this—it wasn’t the last, For those saps who went traveling all had a blast. SOPHOMORES Being a Senior is taking your final bows. Being a Junior is taking your first steps toward college. Being a Freshman is taking your first taste of high school. Alas, being a Sophomore . . . We are not old enough to be old hands at the game, yet not new enough to be taken by the hand. But, we do have our place. To a Senior we are a place where fond memories are stored. To a Junior we are a place where many friendships have been formed. To a Freshman we are a place where the closest helping hand and the most understanding may be found. Alas, to the sophomores ... we are a place to find ourselves.

The bright leaves formed a roof above us, my horse, Arlo, and me; and they seemed to glow with internal red, orange, and yellow lights. Arlo had a swaying walk, and it was so comfor¬ table just to slump and let his movements rock me from side to side in his rhythm. Every time the wind blew, there was a shower of leaves that made splashes of vibrant red on the ground where they fell. It was so dreamy under the trees in their fall color; I never wanted to leave. 76 I reached out of my deep thoughts and tapped myself on the shoulder. “Hey, wake up! What are you doing out here, anyway? I thought you were the one who was always worried about breaking a nail or gaining a pound or two. I thought you were always the stay-at-home, the chicken-out. You don’t belong out here in the woods! Aren’t you at least homesick? Somehow I just couldn’t im¬ agine you camping!” Startled, I replied, “Well! Have you finished your little tirade? You invade my privacy consistently, always at the most awkward times! In answer to your first ques¬ tion: I was riding along, enjoying myself. Notice the past tense. In answer to your se¬ cond question: No, I am not the least bit homesick. Are you? I think I could really get good at this camping business. I’ve discovered a lot about myself on this trip. The philosophy of life is an endless field, but I’ve covered a lot of ground. Now if you will stop pestering me and leave, perhaps I can sink back into the mood I was in before you came.” “Very well, then, I’ll leave. I must have been mistaken about you. You’re not a hopeless case after all. I’m sorry about the harangue, and I take back all the bad things I said about you . . . well, most of them. I shall have to consider the pattern of life also.” With that I became myself again, and I slumped down on Arlo’s back and looked up at the beautiful leaves. Yes, I had discovered things about myself that I never knew. My view of life was completely changed after camping in Connecticut. I never really believed in heaven and hell, the little angels with their halos and wings, and the Red Devil with his horns and pitchfork. I found out what I really believed about the afterlife. It probably isn’t anything anyone ever thought of, but I believe in it, and that’s what matte rs. Naturally I believe in God, but I never really knew what to make of Him, that is, I didn’t have any idea of what He is . These aren’t the only things I thought about in the woods of Connecticut, but I don’t want to make this into a book. The point is, I think everyone ought to have a chance to think things over, to get to know people, and to learn how a camp as the ninth grade did. If it doesn’t amount to anything, well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles, but everyone ought to at least have a chance. The ninth grade Outdoor Education trip was my chance, and is a potential chance for all future Friends Academy ninth graders. Good Luck, eighth grade! ! i ■ � [ ■if ra(w«, , f ■ .- %■ I ffld V- V Mfe Vr y W|||? , r 1 iLWIi R R j j j i LAURA MORAN Business Office ARDITH CAMPBELL Business Office JEAN WHITTENDALE Assistant Business Manage] KATIE GILLEN Receptionist JIM EVANS Business Manager MARIANNE DOOLITTLE Secretary EDITH COOPER Receptionist SALLY VUILLET Assistant Principal BOB CRESSEY Assistant Headmaster, Upper School Principal Headmaster TED WITHINGTON, JOANN WITHINGTON, and BILL MASLAND, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

Too often in past yearbooks spring sports coverage has been characterized by such anachronisms as golfers in the snow and theoretical teams bundled up against the icy onslaught of winter winds.

VARSITY A FAREWELL TO SHINS ’Twas on a raw November day when wind and cold were biting, That the F.A. Faculty Hockey Team went out to start the fighting. Steve Fiske showed up but went back in to grab a pair of mittens; It was so cold that Alec Dick was starting to have kittens. Sal Vuillet showed and touched her toes and shouted, “Let’s get going.” Bob Cressey stayed back in the goal while Sanborn played with class; Liz Roosevelt came on the scene and said, “They shall not pass.” Luongo started hitting with his stick and getting wild; Kal Wynot said, “Be careful, Jim,” then scratched his head and smiled. The game went on despite the freeze, Bet Hummerstone was sighing, “If this game isn’t over soon, I think that I’ll start crying.” The Richardson was playing tough along with Graham and Doyle; Abbene chanted full of glee, “The Varsity we’ll spoil.” But when the shadows lengthened and the scoring was still nil, The epic game had ended giving all a hairy thrill.

The real story this year is the spirit and determination that guided the Quakers to the title. Although this year’s team lacked the skills of the superstars who led Friends to Meade (manager), Justin Kaufman, Griff McNair, Rick Jordan, Jordan Grabel, Guy Spencer, David Cohen, Mike Greene, Paul Meade, Frank Lytle, Coach Seibert, Dean Tasman; Not Pictured: Darren Berger. S YMPHONY OF previous championships, they managed to overcome this shortcoming with the most ex¬ traordinary hustle, spirit, and desire that coach Ward Siebert has witnessed. The season had sentimental overtones in that several seniors were in Coach Siebert’s first Omega class seven years ago. Through the years Mr. Siebert has seen them mature as individuals as well as athletes. i VARSITY SCOREBOARD Martin Luther 3-2 Chaminade 1-0 Dalton 4-2 Statin Island 0-2 Fieldston 3-2 St. Anthony’s 0-4 Englewood 2-0 Woodmere 1-0 Collegiate 1-0 St. Pius 2-3 Portledge 2-3 Loyola 1-0 Lawrence 0-1 Staten Island 1-1 From left to right.

Although the team’s final record indicates that they had a disappoin¬ ting season, there was one thing this year’s team never lost—its pride.

M 1 — ’ ...INACTION The Varsity Field Hockey Team has been a source of pride to Friends Academy because of its outstanding twelve year record: 106 wins, 2 losses, and 4 ties; the last five years being undefeated seasons. The source of this record is a series of experienced and com¬ petent teams. The most difficult games this past year were against Carle Place and Wheatley, the public school champs. Both games resulted in a struggle to 1-1 ties. Perhaps the best game of the entire season was played against Waldorf, supposedly the best private school team on Long Island. Our team triumphed, 4-0. The team’s greatest asset was its ability to work together to achieve this goal.

Four remain as part of a class of seventy-five seniors. In our thirteen years here, Katie, Janet, Chris, and I have witnessed tremendous change: two different headmasters, five different principals, and the additions of the Learning Center and faculty housing. But these changes, although important, are not the most significant or meaningful things to us. What we will always remember is how Friends helped us grow as people. We will remember the many different students and faculty who helped us in times of difficulty and shared our times of pleasure. In each one of us lies the foundation that Friends Academy has built for our lives. Our many experiences here will remain with us forever. Jordan Grabel VARSITY CLUB From left to right.

CANDY SEIBERT NANCY TILTON Art KELLY FISKE Science LIZ WHEELER Music JOANN WITHINGTON Library Aide ALICE KAPLAN Librarian FOR JILL WINNER - GIDEON FROST 1798-1880 A LEGACY FOR LEARNING AND LIFE One century ago, Gideon Frost, a leading member of the Matinecock Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, founded the Friends’ College of Locust Valley. Friends Academy’s one hundredth year marks a time for reflection and projection. In reflection, we find our years here have been rich in warmth, spirit, and enthusiasm. In celebrating our school’s centennial, we remember just how old Friends Academy really is; at the same time, we recall with sadness that our stay here is short. Years from now, when even this centennial edition of the Lamp is covered with dust and memories, we will remember this year with spirit and fondness. 1977 will serve as a source of pride and warmth. We will remember that we were fortunate enough to have shared in the one hundredth an¬ niversary of a school whose heritage is great, whose quality is high. Over its first century, Friends has ac¬ cumulated many memories. It is difficult to believe that this school which encompasses so many people was founded by one man. Gideon Frost was born in 1798 and died in 1880. As a prominent member of Matinecock Meeting, Frost contributed ten percent of the costs of the Meeting House from his own pocket. When he died in 1880, he left a $150,000 estate to the school he had devoted the last quarter of his life to. Gideon Frost bought six acres of land from William T. Cocks and began building in August, 1875. Frost and Mr. Bailey, who was the con¬ tractor, designed the building themselves. The original school building, which was made of white clapboard, stood three stories high and had two wings as well as a main section. It was located about fifty feet north of where the Upper School is now. There was no heat, except that which was generated by the pot-bellied stoves, and no running water. The boys, who occupied the west wing, had no heat whatsoever. In January, 1877, the school adopted its present name. In September, 1957, the boarding school was discontinued so that the school could ex¬ pand. The center and east wings of the Upper School were built in 1894. Since 1918, the Upper School has been renovated, rebuilt, the first primary remade, additional acreage and houses acquired, and the playing fields improved. In September of 1877, Friends Academy was a model of conservatism. Boys and girls were always separated. They used separate en¬ trances, ate in separate rooms unless supervised by a teacher, and were discouraged from speak¬ ing to members of the opposite sex. Gideon Frost wrote, “No romances, or other unsuitable or improper forms of literature, or books of fashion, are to be kept or read in the college; and no books of any description are to be introduced there without having been first submitted to the inspection of the teachers. ” He was also quoted as saying, “I wish to impress upon all that this is a Friends’ school, and that neither music nor dancing is to be taught or practiced here .... Ball playing and throwing missiles of any description are prohibited. ” Such were the rules which governed our school’s first student body. Perhaps the good old days were not that good after all. Friends Academy’s heritage is long and rich. Within the hallowed halls of the Upper School, students have discussed events such as the sinking of the Maine, The Spanish-American War, Lucky Lindy, the 1932 World Series, Pearl Harbor, the Korean War, the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, and the election of Jim¬ my Carter. We have been endowed with a touch of magic — a magic that transcends definition. 227 I CENTENNIAL YEAR CONVOCATION PROGRAM ■ v r 59H gs 6k Educating For Our Next Century WSSi if j a S @T ' • i iSSil mb sasna . ■ ' . | ■• Saturday, January 22,1977 Locust Valley, New York mm Mm! i V. ■•-C ' v -- ® v¥ T . i’ Wmf 4 - ■ V ' $ ’ . : CONVOCATION SALUTES THE PAST 228 , ' «S3SSP;.v m 10:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. 10:45 a.m. Registration (Boys Gym) Welcome by Frederic B.
