WILLIAM PURDY 2 The 1980-81 Rowland Hall-St. Mark ' s Hallmark is dedicated to Mr. William Purdy for his devoti on and numerous contributions to the ideals of the school. Mr. Purdy joined the St. Mark ' s community in 1956 as a teacher of history and earth science. He became Dean of Students in 1960 and was named Headmaster of Rowland Hall-St. Mark ' s in 1969. Since then, he has been a source of constant support and gentle guidance for the student body, faculty, and administration. Mr. Purdy ' s twenty-five years of dedi- cation to the traditions of Rowland Hall-St. Mark ' s as well as to the spirit of change have won him the respect of all who have known him. A student made the analogy that the school has grown as old as a tree. Mr. Purdy ' s philosophy has extended that analogy. His sense of love for the past tempered with an eagerness for the future has given the school a unique opportunity; he has provided the change to grow onward from well-established roots. We sin- cerely thank him for his efforts and dedication. 3 THE RIGHT REVEREND E. OTIS CHARLES CHAIRMAN, BOARD OF TRUSTEES Current Board Of Trustees: Dr. A. Robert Bauer Mr. Peter W.

Albert Einstein 5 MARY CLARK DIRECTOR OF STUDIES I think we were lucky in not doing these little people more harm than breaking a cow ' s leg and a church, said Dorothy. They are all so brittle! They are, indeed, said the Scarecrow, and I am thankful 1 am made of straw and cannot be easily damaged. There are worse things in the world than being a Scarecrow. The Wizard of Oz L. Frank Baum GREG ZEIGLER HEAD OF UPPER SCHOOL Man is whole when he is in tune with the winds, the stars, and the hills as well as with his neighbors. Being in tune with the apartment or the community is part of the secret. Being in tune with the universe is the entire secret. Man ' s greatest mission is to pre- serve life, not to destroy it. When the land becomes the symbol of sterility and poverty, when the won- ders of creation have been destroyed, youth has no place to go but the alleys, and a blight lies across the land. William O.

Reason is God ' s crowning gift to man. Sophocles What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered. Ralph Waldo Emerson Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work. Mark Twain • . 23 Flying Crooked The butterfly, a cabbage-white, (His honest idiocy of flight) Will never now, it is too late. Master the art of flying straight. Yet has — who knows so well as I? — A just sense of how not to fly: He lurches here and here by guess And God and hope and hopelessness. Even the aerobatic swift Has not his flying-crooked gift. Robert Graves Prologue: If we offend, it is with our good will. That you should think, we come not to offend. But with good will. To show our simple skill. That is the true beginning of our end. Consider, then, we come but in despite. We do not come, as minding to content you. Our true intent is. All for your delight. We are not here. That you should here repent you. The actors are at hand; and, by their show. You shall know all, that you are like to know.

While showing great cohesiveness in their fund raising efforts, they remained individualistic. Their con- tributions to the debate, soccer, and tennis teams, and to the computer and running clubs were significant and greatly appreci- ated. The juniors struggled through various college aptitude tests and began seriously looking ahead toward graduation and college. Eager to attend college, the junior class sometimes showed signs of premature senioritis.

They stuck together as a class, which apparently included many honorary eleventh graders. One of the major accomplishments that the class pulled off was a successful American dinner at the bazaar. They tried their skills at taking a practice PSAT and attended numerous “college on campus meetings. Whether they were actually interested in the colleges themselves, or just interested in missing , . . Oh, well. Their serious interest and participation in the various activities did, however, reflect their mature attitude and outlook on school. 44 Susan Davis 45 9 Huong Do Eric Einersen Paul Krowas Cindy Manly Kim Pearson Danny Robinson i 47 NINTH GRADE This year ' s ninth grade class was probably the most energetic of the Upper School. Their enthusiastic attitude was especially evident at the Halloween party where their total class participation and originality enabled them to win two awards and the amusement of the upper class- men. The ninth grade bazaar booth featured Surprise Boxes that were sold out in thirty minutes. The high point of the Freshman year was the annual biology trip into the Uinta Mountains under the leadership of Mr. Zeigler. Even the class president and vice-president — Suzanne Hoopes and Eric Carlson — risked this trip. Kyle Bailess Charles Bauer Eric Carlson Paul Denkers 48 49 Joelyn Matuszak Margie McBirnie Lee Pembleton 50 EIGHTH GRADE Ann Ashworth The eighth grade managed well their second year of Upper School demands and boasted a newly acquired pride at having survived. Even after all their hard work, they were able to remain the fun loving, mischievous group that they were at the first of the year. Their Halloween skit showed that the entire class could work together to “Create a Monster that was a prize winner. Omnipresent eighth graders willingly supported all school ac- tivities. They were seen dancing not only at the Centennial Ball, but also on the soc- cer field.

The switch from the recesses and uniforms of the sixth grade to the highly structured schedules and different dress code of the seventh grade proved difficult, but on the whole, the class seemed to adapt without too much discomfort on their part. Their Scandinavian booth at the bazaar did well, and their raffle ticket sales were commendable. They also participated in several of the RHSM activities such as the comic book club, soccer team, and yearbook staff. Obviously the initial shock at the de- mands of Upper School eventually gave way, and the seventh graders felt quite comfortable tearing around the class- rooms and screaming down the halls.

Parents, students, faculty members, and the administration generously donat- ed their time and energy to help produce the event. Visitors were treated to various delicacies from France, Spain, Japan, Israel, Scandinavia, and other parts of the world. Entertainment was provided by a group of international dancers and by the Rowland Hall-St. Mark ' s choir. Since the raffle has been the primary fund raiser in the past, two raffles were held this year. The prize for the second raffle was a wheelbarrow full of liquid ambrosia donated by the faculty. The day ' s fun culminated with the traditional Sophomore Class Dinner, and all who participated enjoyed themselves heartily. CENTENNIAL BALL A once in a hundred years ' event, the grandest of the grand balls, the Grand Cen- tennial Ball honoring the upper school stu- dents was held on October, 25 at the Hotel Utah. Students, parents, alumni, and friends gathered in the Lafayette Ballroom and danced to Mr. Babcock ' s group Muse. The Ball was much enjoyed by all. CANDLE AND CAROL Once again, this year ' s Candle and Carol service contin- ued the tradition of beauty and ceremony that all of us will carry in our memory for years to come. To signal the beginning of the evening, our own Father Walt led the procession of Upper School students into the impressive St. Mark ' s Cathedral. Inspirational Bible readings by sever- al students, past students, and teachers were interspersed with Christmas carols sung in English, German, and Latin. Directed by Richard Babcock, the choir, the band, the advanced ensemble, and several student soloists per- formed. Participants and audience enjoyed tbe gala re- ception that followed. CHAPEL In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light ; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. 63 Once again, this year ' s Candle and Carol service contin- ued the tradition of beauty and ceremony that all of us will carry in our memory for years to come.

Besides the usual grand performance at the Candle and Carol Service, the choir harmo- nized at Fashion Place Mall, at the Salt Lake Art Center, in Tooele, and in various locations around the valley. Our talented choir members were Francis Andrus, Raeanne Smith, Jill Ludlow, Char- iot Bohn, Amanda Walker, Christy Manly, Paul Krowas, David Filing- son, Margie McBirnie, and Niki Firoozye, enough for two and one-half barbershop quartets. 64 COMIC BOOK CLUB The comic book club consisted of quite a few seventh and eighth graders and their comic books. Enthusiastic at first, things began to drag until a new shipment of comic books arrived at a nearby bookstore. The comic book collectors could be found at the bookstore, snatching up the books as soon as they left the carton. The members were Chance Thomason, Bill Owens, James Williams, Steve Feeney, Chris Smart, Chip Henneman, jon Clark, and Sam Rogan; Dimmie Weller sponsored the club. COMPUTER CLUB The computer club was one of the most vibrant organizations on campus. Although Mike Koetter sponsored the group, he was largely unneeded because Apple II took over. After organizing, electing officials, and writing by-laws, the members of the club settled into their own world of for- next loops. The high point of the year occurred when someone finally fixed the paddle interface, and super invaders worked again. Members of the computer club can be distinguished by their peculiar pallor and bugging eyes, a direct result of too many hours spent staring at the monitor. 65 DEBATE The debate team is an impor- tant part of the school. Under the coaching of Kevin Peters, the team became both locally and na- tionally competitive. The partici- pants were Kevin Miller and Ju- liAnna Smith; Brian Cornell and Willis Gooch; David Ellingson and Niki Firoozye. Eric Einerson par- ticipated in Lincoln-Douglas De- bate. The team started off well this year with David and Niki receiving a first place trophy at the E illcrest High Novice Tournament. In ad- dition to attending a tournament in Arizona with the team, Kevin and Juli were fortunate to attend the Redlands and Loyola tourna- ments in Los Angeles. STUDENT GOVERNMENT The student government was very ac- tive this year under the direction of its sponsor Ms. Cooke. Each class elected two representatives to serve on the coun- cil for the entire year. The members of the council met every Thursday during lunch period to discuss the school community ' s interests and concerns. This small but hard working group frequently met with the administration to discuss problems; the group effected several major changes in school policy. Though primarily a po- litical organization, the student govern- ment organized some very successful dances and other school activities. Their contributions to the year were numerous. John Boyle Alice Mulder MISSING PERSONS BUREAU JaNae Brown — Latin JuliAnna Smith Todd Gabler Chris Suerig 69 LITERARY MAGAZINE The Rowland Hall-St. Mark ' s lit- erary magazine, Medallions, was reinstated this year. This tradition- al publication, the product of the devoted work of a diligent staff, was reborn after many year ' s ab- sence. The staff published the po- etry, short stories, essays, and art work of both students and faculty in quarterly editions. With the much appreciated aid of Mrs. Clark, Mr. Macner, and the inspi- ration of John Hales, the magazine was a great success. The editors of Medallions were Rob May and Melanie Miles, who were aided by staff members Mike Cote, John Player, Klaus Schuling, and Kyle Sterner. Thanks are due to all who contributed to the publication. 70 VUARNET SOCIETY One of the newest and most unique of RHSM ' s clubs was the Vuarnet Society, a club formed by David Ellingson, Wen- dy Walters, and Jill Ludlow. The society was organized to study the fine art of leisure. Some of the events that were sponsored by the organization were the End of the Eirst Term Dance, Rodeo Day, and several workshops, one of which was entitled “The Art of Opposite Sex Observation While Wearing Vuarnets. The teacher-sponsor of the Soci- ety, Mr. Wortham, was presented with an honorary pair of Vuarnets early in the year for his support of the group. Leadership was handled on a rotating basis among the offi- cers; the positions of President, Vice-president, and Vice Versa were shared evenly. Though the three founding mem- bers of the Varsity Vuarnet Society graduated this year, the junior Varsity V. S. will carry on the tradition in years to come. ADVANCED ENSEMBLE The Advanced Ensemble, a group of talented musicians from both the Upper and Lower School, was a great addition to Rowland Hall-St. Mark ' s cultural atmosphere this year. The participating students spent many after-school hours practicing and re- hearsing. Their first performance was at the Bazaar, where, after hav- ing had only one month of practice, they did an excellent job. Their sec- ond performance at Candle and Car- ol was equally notable. The Ensem- ble also treated the Upper and Low- er School chapels to several short, enjoyable programs. 71 YEARBOOK Advisor Mary Ann Smith Assistant advisor Dimmie Weller Editor-in-chief Verne Erickson Assistant editor Kevin Miller Photography editor Mike Cote Layout editor JuliAnna Smith Literary editor Wendy Walters Advertising editor Peter O ' Neill General Staff: Chariot Bohn Eric Carlson Sara Cowgill Susan Davis Will Gooch Jill Ludlow Christy Manly Ali Pembleton Erin Player Sara Robinson Mandy Walker 72 The 1981 Hallmark staff was a dedicated group. Endeavoring to make its mark on RHSM ' s second century, the staff raced to meet deadlines and beat the pavement to search for the ever-illusive advertisement. The staff took great pride in the production of this 1981 Hallmark. 73 EIGHTY ne SPORTS GIRLS TENNIS TEAM The RHSM girls ' tennis team had a very good sea- son. The team thanks Mr. Alex Walker for their uniform appearance and Pam Christensen for her excellent coaching. Christy Manly and Mandy Walk- er, the first doubles team, were undefeated until they got to the combined 1A-2A State Tennis Tour- nament. Unfortunately Mandy and Christy played a tough 2A team and lost, but not without putting up a good figbt. An ecstatic Vicki Newell made it to the championship level. The strong backup members of the team included Susan Lee, Cindy Manly, Chariot Bohn, Suzanne Hoopes, Tracy Anderson, and Susan Davis. BOYS TENNIS TEAM A zealous boy ' s tennis team began work- ing out in January amidst finals and end of semester obligations. Sig Orwell was eventu- ally able to mold a well trained team through constant practice. Mr. Orwig, a veteran ten- nis player, coached the team for an hour after the Winter Sports tennis program and on Tuesdays. The team performed well in practice, but as of this writing, have yet to prove themselves in actual competition. The members were Charles Bauer, Stephen Brown, Brad Cornell, David Ellingson, Verne Erickson, John Lee, Bill Williams, Kasra Ka- zemi, and Kevin Miller. ad Idas Under the firm coaching of Greg Zeigler, the soccer team performed well this year. Their practices and three mile runs on Mondays and Fridays succeeded in increasing the strength and endurance of the team. The team captain was David Ellingson. The team mem- bers included Jennifer Bagnell, Michelle Baldwin, Ste- phen Brown, Timothy Brown, Jonathan Clark, David Gabler, Erik Goodheart, David Gray, Jeremy Gray, Yo- shio Hashimoto, Kasra Kazemi, Rob May, Kevin Miller, Chance Thomason, Garrett Knoche, Brookes Landes, Sam Rogan, Carsten Zieger, Klaus Schuling, Laura McGough, Melanie Miles, and Greg Smith. During their games with East, Olympus, the U. of U. Women ' s Team, Judge Memorial, and Bountiful, the team dem- onstrated their dedication and skill. 78 79 RUNNING CLUB Energetic” describes the running club. Spir- its were high as the runners burned calories on scenic paths and byways. Running through the beautiful areas of City Creek Canyon was very exhilarating. In contrast, jogging through the thick smog in the city was difficult, to say the least. Organized by Dimmie Weller, the club met once a week after school. The members of the club were Christian Pardee, Michele Bal- dwin, Jennifer Bagnell, Susan Davis, Silvia Gray, Ed Macner, and Greg Zeigler. 81 VOLLEYBALL The girls ' volleyball team traveled to a few out of the way places to meet their competi- tion this year. Playing a powerful game of strat- egy and coordination against friendly oppo- nents was refreshing after long hours cooped up in a van. Pam Berge and Doug Wortham coached the team whose members were Houng Do, Susan Davis, Cindy Manly, Ali Pembleton, Sherri Coleman, Dani Hogle, Christy Manly, joelyn Matuszak, Vicki Newell, Frances Andrus, and Laurel Ingham. The team met after school on Mondays and Wednesdays to sharpen their skills. After the season was finished, volleyball continued meeting on Mondays and was open for anyone who want- ed to play. Although the team had no major wins, they all agreed that it was a fun exper- ience. 82 SENIORS 6 FACULTY 5 83 WINTER SPORTS SKIING The best way to fully describe skiing was to take an imaginary journey through the average Winter Sports day. After arriving at school bundled up in ski clothes, the students had to sit in the classroom with mental images of the afternoon competing with Planck ' s Constant (E = HV). Finally the time came for the bus to depart for Brighton Can- yon. Meeting the smiling face of the ski instructor was a welcome relief that fol- lowed the grueling ride. Paired up, the students hopped on the lift and joined at the top. After skiing down and stop- ping about four times for instruction, the process was repeated five more times, after which the hill belonged to the students for free skiing. 84 :ik!b Running from the baseline to the net and from sideline to sideline was how some students spent their time during the Winter Sports Program this year. Every Friday for nine weeks the students improved their tennis game working on not only their skills, but also their endurance and agility. Through this program, both beginners and members of the ten- nis team received instruction from a professional tennis player. The two hours each week that were spent at the Oak Hills tennis courts proved very beneficial to everyone in- volved. Both the beginners and the more advanced players enjoyed themselves. CROSS COUNTRY SKIING 87 BOWLING Bowling offered the opportunity for team participation as well as for individual achievement. Cooperation and patience were key factors in the success of the overall program. Teams were chosen and named by the bowlers; names such as The Bleeps, Task Force One, Glass Onion, The Shoes, The Fantastic Force, and The Mag- gots were created. One team even had a mascot, Edward the Bear. Though only a few of the bowlers took tbeir sport in a strictly serious sense, all enjoyed the Fri- day afternoon games.
