HEAD’S CORNER
The View From Here
I always look forward to the start of the school year. The teachers and students return
re-energized, excited and ready to get back into the regular routine of school.
As I sit at my desk writing this letter, I’m looking out at vibrantly colored falling leaves
as students come up the walkway through shafts of filtered sunlight. I love my view
between the administration building and the Middle School because every time I
look up from my work I have an opportunity to see students interacting and enjoying
themselves as they move across the campus or into the Bengal Cafe. And let me say,
now that we have 4-year-olds on our campus, GDS is livelier than ever!
This issue of the GDS Magazine is full of information about our continued efforts to educate the 21st century learner.
Upper School physics teacher Jeff Regester’s passion for physics inspired him to research the work of Galileo and to visit
some of the important places where he lived and worked. The 6th grade is celebrating five years of outdoor education
on a real working farm, and one of our Upper School students spent part of his summer taking classes at our sister
school in South Africa. As you can see, 21st century learning at GDS isn’t confined to the classroom walls.
Our plans for the new Middle School building are on track, and we continue to hope for an opening of the facility early
in 2015. We couldn’t be more pleased than to have Samet Corporation taking the lead in this design and build project.
Samet is a first class operation and has completed several buildings on our campus, most notably our last major building:
the Davison Center for the Arts.
Our Generations capital campaign co-chairs, Melinda and Jim Rucker ’82 and Merrill and Chuck Keeley ’81 have done
an incredible job of leading the campaign, and we expect the excitement to build as we finish the architectural plans
and publish them in early 2013. We are so grateful for their leadership and that of our major donors, the Bell family. In
this edition of GDS Magazine, we highlight the generosity of the Hummels, past parents of GDS. Their gift once again
recognizes that the bonds that tie us all to GDS remain strong well after graduation.
Finally, I am so grateful to all of our donors from last school year. As you will see in our extensive Annual Report of
Donors, hundreds of current and past parents, faculty, alumni, grandparents and friends of the school continue to
believe that GDS is the premier PK-12 educational institution in Greensboro.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to watching the seasons change through my window and having a
bright and memorable balance of the school year.

BOARD REPORT
Letter from the Chair
I want to update you on the work the GDS Board of Trustees and its
committees have been—and will be—doing this school year and,
in the process, familiarize you a little with some individual trustee
leaders and the responsibilities of the board in general.
The GDS Board of Trustees is a working board. By that, I mean that we
don’t have honorary trustees, trustees emeritus, or advisory trustees.
Each of our 23 trustees serves on at least one board committee; most
serve on two committees, and several sit on three or more committees
or task forces. Trustees are responsible for providing for the fiscal
viability of the school and, as fiduciaries, for overseeing the proper
use of resources entrusted to the school—tuition dollars, endowment
funds, employee retirement accounts, physical plant and land and
even human resources. The board fulfills that responsibility in two
major ways—by setting and monitoring policy and by designating a
chief executive officer to carry out the mission of the school.
Trustees are usually able to take at least a short break from school
responsibilities during summer months, but this year the Buildings
& Grounds Committee, ably chaired by Chuck Keeley ’81, worked
throughout the summer to select a contractor for our new middle
school. During June, a number of local and regional contractors
submitted proposals for our project. After narrowing that list to three
finalists, Chuck and the committee spent hours interviewing each
finalists’ management team to ascertain their experience overseeing
the construction of educational and green buildings, evaluate
their ability to stay within a budget and on a timeline, and make
sure they had a plan for keeping campus disruption to a minimum
during the construction process. Ultimately, the Buildings & Grounds
Committee voted unanimously to recommend Samet Construction
as the contractor for our new Middle School and the board, also
unanimously, accepted that recommendation.
Meanwhile, Capital Campaign Executive Committee co-chairs Melinda
and Jim Rucker ’82 and Merrill and Chuck Keeley ’81, Director of
Advancement Anne Hurd, and a number of school volunteers, worked
throughout the summer following up on campaign solicitations. As
of early September, your generous gifts have enabled us to raise
$4.6 million toward our $7.0 million goal, with a number of verbal
commitments still in the pipeline. Many thanks to all who have
made gifts to the capital campaign. I urge those who have not
yet pledged to respond generously when a campaign volunteer
calls. Most parents don’t realize that their tuition never includes a
charge for the construction costs of any structure on campus--GDS
depends 100% on gifts to fund our new buildings and always has. It’s
Fall 2012
important to remember that we
have all benefited from the great
generosity of capital campaign
donors before us.
Although we have only just begun
this school year, Jack Whitley,
chair of the Finance Committee,
and Chief Financial Officer Pam
Hemphill are already at work on
budgeting for 2013/14. For the fourth consecutive year, this year’s
tuition increase was among the lowest in the school’s history. Jack
and Pam are exploring ways to continue to keep tuition increases
low, while being careful to maintain funding for core elements of our
program, ever mindful of the mission of the school to develop the
intellectual, ethical and interpersonal foundations students need to
become constructive contributors to the world.
Penny Graves has a huge job as the new chair of our Committee
on Trustees, which is responsible for guiding the nomination and
orientation process for new trustees, managing the board’s goalsetting and evaluation processes, and updating our bylaws and board
policies. This year we were pleased to welcome five new members
of the board and so appreciate their commitment to serving GDS.
New Audit Committee chair Pat Burns oversees our regulatory and
financial reporting process and he brings a wealth of audit experience
to this job. With a couple of new chairs this year, we are fortunate to
have Nancy Vaughan on board for a third consecutive year as chair
of the Diversity Committee and J. Scott ’90 serving a second year as
Investment Committee chair.
I cannot thank my fellow trustees enough for their dedicated service
to Greensboro Day School. We are privileged to serve an educational
institution with outstanding faculty and administrators and I sincerely
thank each of them for their efforts. Finally, please join me in a
heartfelt thank you to Mark Hale, who is wholly dedicated to making
GDS the very best school it can be.

Hummels’ Gift to Generations Campaign
Celebrates the Educational Foundation Their Children Received at GDS
Anne and Sam Hummel
Anne and Sam Hummel believe that the educational foundation their
four children received at Greensboro Day School set them each on a path
to address problems that challenge our country and the world. It is the
reason they have made a lead gift to the Generations Capital Campaign.
“This gift is our expression of gratitude to the outstanding teachers at
GDS who inspired our children to dream big and work hard to make a
difference in the world,” the Hummels said recently over coffee in the
home where they raised their children.
“Greensboro Day School’s dedicated teachers have had a very positive
influence on the lives of our children by guiding their decision-making
and by encouraging personal growth and lasting friendships,” said
their mother Anne, a former GDS Trustee.
“GDS nurtured a growing awareness of the world around them and
helped them develop their talents and problem-solving skills,” their
father Sam says.
Indeed, each of the Hummels’ children has built upon the foundation
they received at GDS through higher education and work experience
to develop expertise in their chosen field. Elizabeth ’89 established
a K-5 dual-language program at Siler City Elementary School that
teaches English-speaking and Spanish-speaking children together,
with half the day taught in English and the other half in Spanish. This
program was recently recognized by the Spanish Embassy as one of
6
the “Top 10” dual language education programs in the U.S. In four
more years, all 750 students in the school will be enrolled in the
program. Leslie Anne, PhD, (GDS ’94), is Senior Policy Advisor in the US
Dept. of Energy, working with senior officials to develop federal clean
energy policies to reduce global warming and stabilize our planet’s
life support systems. In 2010, she received the GDS Distinguished
Alumni Award for outstanding service to the nation and extraordinary
distinction in her field. Amelia ’95 and her husband Dr. David Hodges
are foster parents to children in need of protective services, a stable
home life, and patient, loving care and attention. Sam ’99 works
for the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher
Education, using internet technology to help 1800 American colleges
and universities share best practices to make their campuses more
sustainable. He has also developed an organic farm in Hillsborough,
offering chemical-free vegetables and meat at local farmers markets
to promote better health, build community, and reduce the fuel
consumption of “food miles.”
“These different paths followed by our children are indicative of the
wide variety of paths chosen by other GDS alumni who are also serving
their communities,” they quickly point out. “When viewed together,
GDS alumni are demonstrating in their adult lives how effectively the
School encourages and prepares its students to pursue causes that
benefit the common good.”
The Hummels “enthusiastically salute” the commitment that the
faculty of GDS makes every day to the School’s mission to develop the
intellectual, ethical and interpersonal foundations students need to
become constructive contributors to the world.
During her tenure on the GDS Board of Trustees (1989-95), thenHeadmaster Dr. Ralph Davison enlisted Anne Hummel’s leadership in
chairing the Education Committee and helping to draft the School’s
Long-range Plan. She helped establish the standard of forwardthinking leadership that inspired a later Board, in 2006, to chart a
course to reconfigure grades within the three divisions, moving 5th
grade to Middle School. The Hummels embrace the vision to design
and build a new middle school building with features that encourage
students’ interaction with the natural world, facilitate an advanced
curriculum, and foster exceptional teaching practices.
To recognize the gift the Hummels have made to the Generations
Campaign, the eighth grade science classroom/lab in the Bell Middle
School will be named in their honor.
GDS Magazine
GDS Hires Samet Corporation
for Construction of New Middle School
Centerbrook and CJMW Architects Chosen for Design
Greensboro Day School has selected Samet Corporation to oversee
design and construction of a new $5 million Middle School building.
Nationally renowned Centerbrook Architects and Planners of
Centerbrook, Conn., and local award-winning architectural firm
Calloway Johnson Moore & West (CJMW) will team up for the design.
Samet Corporation will partner with the architects for the design
phase this fall, with construction of the new Middle School expected
to be completed before January 2015. The new Middle School will be
named for the Steve and Jackie Bell Family, whose $1.15 million gift
to the campaign is the largest in school history.
Middle School Director Ed Dickinson and a faculty design team have
researched and toured other middle schools, compiled a list of space
needs based upon the GDS Middle School educational program, and
will work with architects this fall on the actual design.
“Replacing the outdated facility with one that is built for students in
the middle grades with a design tailored to the academic program
will enhance our learning environment for this critically important
developmental age, and allow the school to implement its plan to have
5th grade join the Middle School,” said Head of School Mark Hale.
The new building will be constructed southwest of the existing Middle
School on the site of the old tennis courts. Construction will not
disrupt classes for current students. Removal of the existing Middle
School building will open the center of campus for a planned new
park-like central quadrangle. In an earlier phase of the campus plan
completed last year, the school constructed a new tennis complex,
installed new front entrance curbing, and addressed storm water
environmental requirements and related infrastructure necessary to
reorient the front of the campus to Lake Brandt Road.
“Despite a challenging economy, all earlier-phase projects were fully
funded by charitable gifts made during the quiet leadership phase
of the Generations Capital Campaign, a $7 million campaign publicly
launched last year,” said Board Chair Fran Tewkesbury. “The school’s
goal is to complete its campus master plan through charitable giving
by the GDS school community.” The campaign has raised over twothirds of the needed funding to complete this phase of the plan.
Samet Corporation has been headquartered in Guilford County and has
provided construction services for 51 years servicing the education,
healthcare, commercial/industrial, and multi-family housing sectors.
Fall 2012
The company is consistently ranked in local and national publications
and has become the contractor of choice in some of the area’s
high profile projects. Since 2007, the Education Group alone has
participated in $238 million of educational building facilities including
projects for Guilford County Schools, GTCC, UNCG, WSSU, Gateway
University Research Park, and High Point University. Samet’s success
is built on character and delivering five core values of Service, Quality,
Innovation, Trust, and Safety. The Samet family has been a part of the
GDS community for many years as parents of GDS students.
Three years ago, Centerbrook Architects directed a conceptual design
charrette at GDS when groups of students, faculty, parents, trustees,
grandparents and others were invited to dream together about what
possible features a new Middle School might include; this resulted
in a set of conceptual drawings that have been used throughout the
capital campaign marketing. The actual new Middle School design will
be informed by the earlier concepts but the faculty team will figure
more prominently in working with architects to determine practical
space needs and features that support the educational program and
fit the construction budget.
Established in 1975, Centerbrook has a national practice with a staff
of 75. One of the four principals, Chad Floyd, will head the GDS
design project. They have experience with 33 independent schools, a
strong background in collaborative design, and a history of designing
appealing and practical buildings and fixtures. While the firm’s studio
is located near New Haven, Conn., they were commended by UNCG
and The Collegiate School in Richmond, Va., for their effective and
frequent communications with clients through teleconferencing and
other technologies.
CJMW has designed 1.75 million sq.ft. of K-12 learning environments
in the past five years. The firm is a regional leader in the use of Building
Information Modeling, or BIM, a digital representation of physical
and functional characteristics of a facility. The firm’s architects and
interior designers develop a BIM that remains “live” from the earliest
stages of design all the way through construction documentation and
administration. CJMW and Samet have worked together on a number
of projects on the GDS campus including the Davison Center for
the Arts and the McMillion Media Center. John Drinkard, principalin charge, oversaw the firm’s work on eight projects over a 15-year
period at GDS and is the parent of an alumna.

Parents Become School Ambassadors
This new school year began with an impressive group of behind-thescenes parents spreading the great news of GDS and reminding all of
us why we love being a part of this community.
Lower School children were Of“FISH”ally welcomed back to school
with snacks of Goldfish, Middle and Upper School students were
reminded that they are quite the “smartie” pants for making the most
of their GDS education, thanks to some Smarties candies, and all GDS
parents were challenged to spread the word of our great community
for the Back to School Challenge.
This festive start to a new school year was organized entirely by our
Parent Ambassador Council, a new group of volunteers supporting
GDS admission efforts.
While all Greensboro Day School parents are ambassadors for our
school, it is the specific role of the Parent Ambassador Council to
serve in a truly supportive role to the Admission Office. The Parent
Ambassador Council was formed to coordinate parent efforts to
assist in admission activities and community building through a
variety of events and activities. Parent Ambassadors will serve as
liaisons at open houses, coffees, reunions and other school and
community events. In addition to helping with direct efforts with
regard to internal or external marketing, admission process and
retention, these committee members
are asked to always keep an open
mind and seek opportunities to
highlight Greensboro Day School
whenever possible. Ambassadors
are called upon in various ways
to welcome new families, support
and engage existing families and
even strengthen ties with alumni.
The commitment from each Parent
Ambassador to these activities will truly
help to strengthen and enrich the Greensboro Day School experience
for both the school and Greensboro community.

Lavoie spoke to 200+
People in September
This year’s McLendon Parent Education Speaker, author Rick
Lavoie, spoke to over 200 parents and educators in September, and
encouraged them to look through the eyes of a child in order to
find what motivates. He reviewed the eight forces of motivation:
status, inquisitiveness, affiliation, power, aggression, autonomy,
achievement, and gregariousness. Lavoie is the author of The
Motivation Breakthrough: 6 Secrets to Turning on the Tuned Out Child.

SPORTS REPORT
T
he 2012 fall athletic season proved to be another successful
showing of our Bengal athletes. With one conference coach
of the year (Jeff Campbell, tennis), two conference champions
(girls’ cross country, tennis), a runner-up in the state (soccer), and an
inaugural appearance of girls’ golf in the mix, our athletes represented
our school with pride.
Once again, the girls’ tennis team won their conference with an
undefeated PACIS record. Carrie Melson ’13 earned conference player
of the year honors, while her teammates, Angelica Warren ’14 and
Mariah Warren ’15 went undefeated in doubles play and Mariah
Warren was undefeated in singles play. The Bengals lost a tough 3rd
round match against Charlotte Latin in the state tournament, bringing
an end to their impressive season.
The varsity boys’ soccer team finished the regular season ranked #2
in the state and #2 in the conference. The Bengals made it to their
fourth consecutive NCISAA State Championship game, losing to
conference rival Wesleyan Christian Academy. The 2012 team lost a lot
of experience from the 2011 season, but they worked hard as a group
and were able to achieve great success throughout the year. Although
graduating another large group of seniors (10), the soccer program
has a bright future ahead, returning 16 players from this year’s team.
The girls’ varsity cross country team had an outstanding 2012 season.
Led by conference runner of the year Gabby Merritt ’13, one the top-5
high school runners in North Carolina, the girls continued their winning
tradition with their third straight PACIS conference championship and
second straight runner-up finish at the All City/County meet. The girls
will look to build on their success next year as we return many of our
current top runners.
The boys’ cross country team was led by conference runner of the
year Clayton Wilson ’13. They improved upon regular season and
conference results from previous years. There were many new faces
this season who will return as veterans next year and will continue to
improve our program.
This season was a building year for both the volleyball and field hockey
teams. A conference victory over Forsyth Country Day in volleyball was
a huge morale builder for the many younger athletes on the team. In
field hockey, 20 girls participated, six of them were seniors. The team
consistently improved over the course of the season, and earned a
playoff spot with a very exciting win against Carolina Day.
The Greensboro Day School varsity girls’ golf team completed their
first official season in the NCISAA this year. The Bengals finished 11th
in the state tournament at Mid-Pines Golf Course in Southern Pines.
Team members were Addy Anderson ’15, Caroline Cox ’13, and Kayla
Reardon ’15. We look forward to the growth of this exciting new
program at our school.
Finally, senior Andrew Dutch was honored with the Patrick B. Palmer
Award at the Greensboro United Soccer Association’s Boys and Girls
Showcase. The award honors GDS parent Pat Palmer, who passed away
this past summer, and is given to one player from each participating
school. The award is given to players who exemplify many of the traits
Pat exemplified through his life – leadership, passion, selflessness,
academics, inspiration, and service. Palmer was very active in the
Greensboro soccer community. He was one of the founders of the
GUSA High School Showcase, was a member of the Board of Directors
for GUSA and the North Carolina Fusion, and was a coach for all three
of his children, Ben ’16, Drew and Lily.

In the Footsteps
of
Galileo
By Jeff Regester
Upper School physics teacher
2012 Brooks Sabbatical Recipient
Philosophy is written in that great book which ever lies
before our eyes — I mean the universe — but we cannot
understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the
symbols in which it is written. This book is written in mathematical
language, and the symbols are triangles, circles, and other geometrical
figures, without whose help it is humanly impossible to comprehend
a single word of it, and without which one wanders in vain through a
dark labyrinth. – Galileo Galilei
In my physics classes, I try to convey some of the history
of the field and the philosophical foundations of science
in general. Science is too often portrayed as linear,
progressing uniformly from ignorance to knowledge in
an almost robotic, methodical fashion. Teachers often
talk about “the scientific method” as if there is only one
way to do science. In reality, the story of science is replete with both
brilliant insights and frustrating dead ends, international cooperation
and personal jealousies, intense creativity and tedium, astounding
sacrifice and unwise shortcuts, charity and greed. In short, it is
a human enterprise, and thus exhibits the best and the worst in
people. Unlike other fields of human endeavor, however, science
is self-correcting. Whatever the source of an idea (what scientists
usually call a hypothesis or model), the primary job of the scientist
is to disprove that idea. It doesn’t matter if the idea came from a
prominent scientist or an unknown upstart; if it results from years
of wrestling with ideas or in a dream; if it’s elegant or a kludge. If
the idea survives many attempts to disprove it — the idea makes
predictions that are consistent with repeated and varied experiments
— then the idea is elevated to the rank of theory (a word that many
non-scientists think means simply any old idea). Science cannot
prove anything correct. The best we can do is say our models are
consistent with all available evidence. If our model or hypothesis is
NOT consistent, then it must be revised or completely rejected.
A key figure in the foundations of science (and scientific philosophy)
was the Italian mathematician and astronomer Galileo Galilei.
Thanks to GDS and the Brooks Endowment for Faculty Development,
my family and I had the opportunity this summer to visit Italy and
follow in the footsteps of Galileo.
The author and little
Galileo.
18
Galileo was born in Pisa in 1564, moved to Florence at age 10,
and later entered the University of Pisa to study medicine, as his
father wished, before diverting himself into mathematics and art.
He became chair of mathematics at Pisa in 1589, at age 25, after
lobbying Father Christopher Clavius, the prominent Jesuit behind
the 1582 calendar reform under Pope Gregory. At Pisa he began his
studies of motion, studying pendulums, discovering the law of inertia
(usually referred to, unfairly, as Isaac Newton’s First Law of Motion),
and studying falling objects (famously dropping cannonballs from the
leaning bell-tower next to the cathedral ). A few years later he moved
to the University of Padua. Here at Padua he made many of his most
important discoveries, including improvements to the newly invented
telescope. Using his telescopes, he discovered the moons of Jupiter,
the Moon’s craters, and the fact that the Milky Way is composed of
uncountable numbers of stars. These discoveries gained him fame,
GDS Magazine
a new job as court mathematician in Florence under the Medicis,
and evidence in support of Niklaus Copernicus’s notion that the
sun, rather than the Earth, occupied the center of the universe in
contradiction to long-standing Church orthodoxy. Galileo was a very
devout Catholic, but strongly argued that if people’s interpretation
of scripture disagreed with evidence, then that is the fault of the
interpretation, not scripture.
Galileo’s importance goes beyond his specific discoveries and
extend into the very nature of science itself. Science, as a systematic
methodology for acquiring knowledge, did not have a widelyaccepted philosophical foundation until the 17th century. In
Galileo’s day, science was natural philosophy; the word science was
not commonly used in the modern sense until two centuries later.
Galileo’s writings, as well as his actual discoveries, were instrumental
in establishing the preference of empirical evidence (specifically,
mathematical agreement between prediction and experiment) over
the scholastic tradition of endlessly reinterpreting ancient religious
and philosophical texts. Galileo also strongly endorsed the notion
usually referred to as Occam’s Razor: given two possible explanations
of a phenomenon, both consistent with observation, then the simpler
of the two is to be preferred. To wit: Are we to believe that all the
planets, the Sun and myriad stars revolve around a stationary Earth,
following arcs of immense distances at incredible speed, or instead
that the Earth spins about an axis once a day? Both ideas explain the
daily rising and setting of the sun and stars, but the latter is certainly
the simpler explanation.
After his 1610 move to Florence to join the Medici court, Galileo was
celebrated throughout Europe, including by the Catholic Church, for
his discoveries in the heavens. The acclaim heightened as he made
further discoveries, notably the phases of Venus and sunspots.
Galileo wasn’t infallible, however, and he made dubious claims
about the causes of ocean tides and the nature of comets. He had
a caustic wit, and his writings are masterpieces of sharp mockery,
publicly skewering prominent Jesuit scholars who disagreed with

him. The enmity he needlessly fostered would haunt him later. Galileo
increasingly discussed his Copernican worldview publicly, and this led
to controversy in 1615-16. Although not formally put on trial at this
time, Galileo was explicitly “commanded and enjoined, in the name of
His Holiness the Pope and the whole Congregation of the Holy Office,
to relinquish altogether the said opinion that the sun is the center of
the world and at rest and that the Earth moves; nor henceforth to
hold, teach, or defend it in any way verbally or in writing,” according
to the minutes of what authorities hoped would be the final meeting
on the subject. The Counterreformation made the Catholic Church
inflexible in its Biblical interpretations. Allowing any reinterpretation
of scripture would, they feared, undermine confidence in Church
authority and papal infallibility. When Galileo failed to silence himself
on the topic, he was brought to formal trial by the Inquisition in
1633. He was convicted of “suspicion of heresy,” and, under threat of
torture, forced to verbally recant his views. Galileo spent his last ten
years under house arrest at his villa in Florence, blind and beset by
numerous other maladies. Despite these challenges, during this time
he wrote his final scientific testament, the Dialogue Concerning the
Two Chief World Systems, which was published in the Netherlands,
beyond the Inquisition’s reach.
He died in 1642 — the year of Isaac Newton’s birth — and was buried
in an obscure corner of the Santa Croce church in Florence. Nearly a
century would pass before he was reinterred in a more ornate and
19
prominent tomb. During the move, two fingers and a tooth were
removed as relics. These are now on display at the Museo Galileo
in Florence. In 1992, Galileo was officially “rehabilitated” by the
Catholic Church, an official admission that he was correct, but short
of a pardon.
During our trip, we were able to visit many sites associated with
Galileo in Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice and Padua: his birthplace, his
various houses, his tomb, the Museo Galileo, the site of his conviction
and where he was imprisoned in Rome briefly before being sent
to house arrest in Florence. Other highlights included the tower in
Venice where he demonstrated the new spyglass to the Venetian
senate in hopes of receiving a raise, and the hillside in Rome where
he similarly demonstrated it to the elites there and where the word
“telescope” was coined by one of the guests. Through the kindness
of the Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory and specifically Dr. Sperello
di Serego Alighieri, I was able to explore the villa south of Florence,
closed to the public, where Galileo spent his years of house arrest and
where he died.
Personal highlights of the trip include seeing the Italian countryside
during our inter-city train trips; my children, Ben ’19 and Leah,
“pushing” on the Leaning Tower of Pisa (by law, all tourists must
take that photo); Ben falling into a canal in Venice; riding Segways
around Florence; my wife, Martha, imitating the Renaissance statues
at the various art museums; the vaporettos (water taxis) in Venice;
the Coliseum at night; the excitement of the locals when their soccer
team reached the final game of the Euro Cup and their disappointment
when they lost; the July heat, and the sweet relief of gelato.
Galileo would recognize the philosophical battles lurking behind the
scientific controversies of today. Questions such as global climate
change, evolution, and genetically-modified foods should be decided
on the available evidence, not anecdotes, preconceived notions,
cherry-picked evidence, or economic advantage. The conflict between
Galileo and religious authorities was complex, and only hinted at in
the space I have here. Fault can be found on both sides of “the Galileo
Affair.” What if Galileo had been more diplomatic, not goading his
opponents? What if the church authorities had accepted the power
of evidence or, as Pope John Paul II declared, that “truth cannot
contradict truth?” How would the history of science be different if the
Galileo affair had been less confrontational? Having been immersed
in Galileo’s life path during this trip, I hope to convey to my students
the human story that is science.

Galileo spent much time here gardening and tending grape
vines during the last years of his life.

tower in 1609, Galileo demonstrated the
ability of the newly-invented telescope to
spot arriving ships long before they could
be seen by naked eye, a capability of great
importance to an economic and military
naval power such as Venice.

How I Spent My
Summer Vacation…
in South Africa
By William Armstrong ’14
“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein.
I certainly was going insane, anxiously glancing out of the small window
into the inky expanse, countless times. I had already been travelling
for eight hours and with another 18 hours of chasing the sun’s shadow
ahead of me, I was getting a little antsy. Every time I stared out into
the darkness, I couldn’t help but wonder what I was getting myself
into. I was headed for Durban, South Africa to spend the last month
of summer participating in an exchange at the Clifton School, which
turned out to be a truly unforgettable experience, to say the least.
One of my most interesting experiences
was actually participating in classes. I
was enrolled as a full-time student
taking: English, math, history, geography,
Afrikaans, and business studies, for four
weeks. The very first thing I did after
arriving in Durban and settling in with
the first of three host families, was pick
up my uniform. As part of the student
body I was required to wear a coat and
tie to school every day, which is not William gave a speech to
nearly as painful as I first thought. The his peers before departing
next formality I learned was whenever the Clifton School.
a teacher entered a classroom you
stood and greeted them regardless of what you were doing; respect
is paramount at Clifton School. I was also required to do homework,
write essays, and take tests along with all the other students. To be
honest, I found this to be one of the best experiences, learning for the
sake of learning, not for a grade was novel. I found that the school
work was much more enjoyable and interesting without the pressure
of grades. For example, I had to write an essay on satire’s role in South
African politics. I sat down and read about South African politics and
the endless fodder it produces for satirists. The “Text Book Crisis” was
the current debacle while I was in South Africa. The school board had
lost track of text book shipments that were headed for three different
provinces. Those in charge had no idea where the books were or what
to do about it and simply claimed the books were on their way.
Clifton School allowed me to participate in some extracurricular
activities as well. I played on a soccer team and went to Toastmasters,
a public speaking course. I was also invited to travel with some of the
students to a leadership conference in Pretoria. While I was there I
heard from several inspirational speakers including Peter Van Kets,
the first South African to reach the South Pole. He also holds the
world record for a two person crew rowing across the Atlantic Ocean.
Another speaker was the CEO of the second largest media company
in South Africa . He is leading a campaign, “Shout!,” which is fighting
for a safer South Africa.
22
Durban, South Africa
The school also has a yearly event called the Clifton Challenge. The
Clifton Challenge is a compulsory 21k run for the entire college (high
school), and as luck would have it, it was scheduled to take place
while I was there. As I admitted to the Clifton students in my farewell
speech, addressed to the college faculty and students, I was not too
keen on running 13 miles. For once, weather was on my side. The one
day it rained was the day of the run, and man did it pour. Needless
to say, I dodged a bullet and the run was postponed until after I left.
Durban is a modern port
city, consisting of around
3.5 million people, it is
racially and economically
diverse with large rifts
between social classes. I
had the opportunity to visit
three of the government
schools not far from Clifton.
The students came from
the squatter camps that William (left) with students at Quarrye
were scattered throughout Heights School.
Durban. These schools and
camps reminded me so much of the schools and villages I saw while on
the GDS spring break trip to Nicaragua last year. One of these schools was
an elementary school that, with the help of Clifton, will soon be the first
elementary school in the province with a library. Clifton already has plenty
of books collected and the school has the space prepped for the library,
but both schools lack the funding for shelving so the project has been put
on hold.
Another school I visited would hardly qualify as a school by American
standards. There were six trailer classrooms to house 680 students,
grade R (Kindergarten) to grade 5. Unfortunately, one trailers was
unusable so one class had to be held outside. A little over 70% of
the students at this school are AIDS orphans forced to take care of
themselves and their siblings. There was one running faucet and the
bathrooms consisted of six port-a-johns. While at these schools, I
helped distribute food, attended a few classes, played soccer, and talked
with the students, all of whom were unbelievably happy with very little.
Those visits made me realize how truly blessed I (and my fellow Clifton
and GDS students) am to be able to afford a quality education.
The day I said “totsiens” (goodbye) came way too soon. It seemed
like just yesterday I had been nervously glancing out a plane window.
The memories and experiences from this trip will be cherished and
remembered forever. This trip would not have been possible without
the tremendous effort put forth by both our international programs
coordinator Don Lahey and the Clifton school.

Five Years
on the Farm
By Craig Head, 6th Grade Science Teacher
I grew up in an area of North Carolina where I had room
to roam and explore in nature. I have never lost that
need for myself, and now I wanted it for my family. So,
in 2005, I came across an old horse farm about 20 miles
from Greensboro. The front yard of the house and every
pasture was shoulder height
in thick brush. The house was plain,
lacking character, and I was starting
to get discouraged. But then we
walked the entire property line and that’s
when I fell in love. Much of the property
is made up of terrific forest where
three creeks converge into one and

we were charged with finding more ways to incorporate into
our curriculum experiential education in natural settings. I
instantly knew that my farm, Headacres, would be a perfect
vessel for lessons and experiences for the GDS 6th graders.
My incredibly gifted and flexible teacher colleagues on the 6th
grade team agreed. We collaborated and devised a schedule
that would soon take on the name “FARM WEEK,” where each
of our four core groups of students in the grade would be
able to visit the farm for a day.
Our first trip to the farm with the class of 2014

“The farm experience is so valuable for our students. There are so few opportunities to slow down and
disconnect for kids this age. This makes it all the more important to teach them the value of the outdoors,
time alone and just appreciating quiet,” – Kathi Saunders, GDS parent
24
GDS Magazine
Over the years the farm experience has continued to grow, adding
a compass course and geocaching, animal observations, stream
censuses, and much more. Spring of 2012 was the hallmark of
five years on the farm. The students were always asking for more
and more time and it was decided by the 6th grade teachers that
we should give them what they wanted. We devised a schedule
so all four of the core groups could spend three days and two
nights at the farm camping out. The students would pitch their
own tents, cook all their meals on a fire that they helped build
and spend 50+ hours in nature — no computers, no cell phones,
no laptops, no conflicts, just plenty of time to explore and relate
to nature and their peers.
“There wasn’t a waking moment when we wanted
to leave or take a break from all the fun. Everyone still
talks about the farm trip to this day. As 7th graders,
we have been trying to talk our teachers into taking
us to Headacres,” – Rylan Ballou ’18
As my family and I have “matured” through the past years
and learned the wonderful, yet sometimes demanding and
challenging, aspects of farm life, so has the nature education
program for our 6th graders and many of their parents. Each
summer is celebrated with the opening of blueberry-picking,
when many GDS families and others familiar with Headacres
find themselves in the fields and rows of blueberries amazed at
the growth of the plants, and especially the size of the berries.
We also hold periodic Farm Days when friends of the farm come
together for fun and food to watch our children grow-up playing
freely in the open spaces.
Kids naturally know what to do in the woods, they make their
own fun. The past five years on the farm with the GDS 6th grades
has provided some of the most inspiring experiences I have had
as an educator and I look forward to many more years.

Permaculture Garden, classroom at the pond,
and nature trails. We also often travel to local
parks, to the Natural Science Center, and to
Haw River and Hanging Rock State Parks. But
we all acknowledge that the farm experience
is the most unique space that we have to
accomplish so many different, and yet related,
“lessons” in science, language arts, art and
music, and character education. Our approach
to the “whole child” is also an approach to the
“whole universe;” it is a much more global
and authentic approach to human-nature and
human-human connections.

helped to make our Alumni Association what it is today.
First things first, I would like to introduce myself. My name is
Michael Sumner ’04 and I am the new Director of Alumni Programs.
Now, I am sure you are all wondering where Kathy Davis has gone
off to? And no, you didn’t miss a retirement notice. Kathy is back in
the classroom doing what she loves most; teaching the wonderful
students we have here at GDS!

This year we would like to welcome new board members
• Katherine Johnson ’07, Charlotte, NC
•Elizabeth Harrington Payonk ’97, Greensboro, NC

Our first Alumni Board meeting was held Tuesday, September 18th.
We are all very excited about the things that we have planned for
the upcoming year. Please check out the GDS Alumni webpage at
www.greensboroday.org/alumni for a complete list of this year’s
upcoming alumni events. If you are part of the ’78, ’83, ’88, ’93, ’98,
and ’03 classes, make sure you save the date and plan on attending
your Class Reunion during the weekend of April 26-27, 2013.
During the first week of October, we
emailed our first e-newsletter called the
Alumni Update. If you did not receive
one, then please email us ASAP at
alumni@greensboroday.org with your
name and preferred email address to
ensure you receive the next update!
If you have any questions or concerns
about the Alumni Board, upcoming
events, or how to get involved, please
email us at alumni@greensboroday.org.
We look forward to connecting with
each of you!
I am extremely excited to be back on GDS campus. Having only been
away for 8 years, I could say that little has changed. I could also say a
lot has changed. There are new students, new faculty members and
new looks to buildings, but the sense of family and community that
you get as soon as you step on campus is still the same!
Since I started on July 9, I have had the opportunity to work closely
with our Alumni Board and I will be the first to say that we have
an amazing group of alumni working to serve the GDS Alumni
Association. Throughout the year, you will hear from our board
members in a variety of capacities. Our alumni board members help
set up service opportunities, plan alumni events, head up the alumni
annual fund and market our alumni association to each of you!
The next few months will be extremely busy as we host multiple
events, kick off the alumni annual fund and continue our social
media outreach! If you haven’t seen the pictures we have posted
lately, I would certainly advise you to get on Facebook and “Like”
the Greensboro Day School Alumni Page! You never know what or
whose picture might pop up next!
Please remember, there is no such thing as an alumni association
without its alumni! We want to keep you connected to GDS! If
there is an alumni event in your area, plan to attend. If you have
some free time or want to get involved,
consider one of the many volunteer
opportunities that we have to offer. If
our alumni won’t step up, who will?
A strong alumni base is one way of
helping to secure the future of our
beloved school.
I look forward to connecting with each
of you. Feel free to stop by my office
anytime or email me at michaelsumner@
greensboroday.org. I also hope to see
you all at an upcoming event in your area!
Once a Bengal, Always a Bengal!

Archiving:
Organizing GDS’
Rich History
Over four years ago, the Alumni Office
undertook a massive project. In preparation of
GDS’ 40th Anniversary, then Director of Alumni
Programs, Kathy Davis, realized we had never
archived anything from GDS. Kathy partnered
with Elizabeth Hurd, mother of Anna Hurd ’06
and Molly Hurd ’12, and started gathering item
after item, picture after picture filling an entire
room with ‘stuff’ to be archived. This was only
the first part of the project. Next, Kathy invited
a group of teachers, current and retired, to join
her in organizing the ‘stuff’ by category. After
many meetings and lunches, the group was
finally able to organize all of the pictures into
the year that they believed the picture was
taken. After all the pictures were organized by
year, we took them over to MasterLabs where
Charles Wright ’86 and his staff digitized over
20,000 pictures for us.
Though it seems like this would complete this
project, it does not. While we search for a home
for the hard copies, we will begin cataloging our
database to identify who is who in each picture.
To do this, we need your help. Each week, we will
post archived photos to the Alumni Facebook
page. Take the time to “Like” the page so you can
help us tag the faces in each photo. This will help
up us catalog these images.
Thank you to the many teachers, former
teachers, volunteers, and alumni who have
spent countless hours making this project
a success.

Boo Hoo (or Woo Hoo)…the kids are gone
The Class of 2012 has graduated from GDS and are off to college to start the next chapter of their lives.
Parents of last year’s senior class gathered at Adeline and David Talbot’s house on September 19 to
both celebrate and commiserate their children leaving home at the annual GDS Alumni Association’s
Boo-Hoo Cocktail Party. Parents shared their children’s stories from the first few weeks of college.
Current teachers stopped by to hear about their former students and Head of School Mark Hale and
Director of Alumni Programs Michael Sumner made a few remarks. The lasting impression all of the
parents left with: even though their child graduated from GDS, they are ALL always a part of the GDS
family and community!

My Son Asks
about Pakistan, my son asks
about microprocessors
and sex, he asks about Peter Pan
and cease fires and hard ships
that shark the Atlantic and when
we will stop loving
each other and whether
the cats know their names. My son
asks me for the time,
the past perfect which I can’t find
in my pocketbook, the stick of gum
his grandmother gave him
before she entered the ground upstate
in sudden June, the joke she drank
the last night he saw her, the stem
of her glass clear, her arms
wanting his body’s goodbye
and his body turning away.
He asks about Satan, the wrong end
of the movie, if spinach
for dinner then what
for dessert. He crawls into
my bed at six thirty
with gauze and a newspaper. He wants me
to bury the lead. He wants the cats
to live forever but
stop running for good
down morning halls. He wants eggs,
juice and eggs and he will never
stop asking:
even when his plate is white
with grief and galactic heat
he’ll be calling
me from the lobby
in his gray suit to ask
if volcanoes were furry and closed their eyes
before they were born
and I will say yes, yes,
and other lies the dead tell.

MEET A BENGAL!
KC Steedle ’06 and Meg Steedle ’04 at the
Premiere of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire
The Beginning of an Empire
By Caroline Brown ’10
Meg Chambers Steedle ’04 has come a long way since her days on the stage
at GDS. A graduate of the Class of 2004, Meg is now a recurring character
on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire as Billie Kent, the mistress of Enoch ‘Nucky’
Thompson (Steve Buscemi).
One of Meg’s favorite aspects of performing while a student at the school
was the closeness the cast formed for every show. “They create this sense
of family that we’re all working towards something,” she said. “I’ve been
in shows where that’s not the case and it frustrates me, because that’s not
what I grew up with.”
At this point, Googling Meg Steedle Boardwalk Empire leads to an abundance
of articles, interviews, and photos explaining how the Northwestern
grad landed a role on such a big show after only one previous television
appearance (Body of Proof on ABC). They briefly mention her North Carolina
background, notably her first role in 3rd grade in The Sound of Music.
The family formed during Hello, Dolly! is especially dear to her heart. “All the
kids in that show wrote me a note to say, ‘thank you for being our Dolly.’ I still
have that note in my bedroom,” Meg said.
But from our perspective, her experiences at GDS influenced much more
than meets the average person’s eye. This is a big deal for a small private
school in the South. “We’re awfully proud of her. She’s going to make her
name out there,” said Ruthie Tutterow, the school’s drama department chair.
Like any production in the entertainment industry, there is a fancy premiere—
meaning a red carpet. “I was more nervous than prom,” Meg exclaimed.
Meg played a number of memorable roles while a student at GDS, including
Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker in 12th grade, Princess Winnifred in
Once Upon a Mattress in 8th grade, and of course Dolly in Hello, Dolly! as her
senior musical. However, she was surprisingly uninterested in auditioning
for The Sound of Music. “I remember not wanting to do it actually,” Meg
said with a laugh. “I was having trouble transitioning from my other school
in Winston-Salem. I think it was my parents’ way of integrating me into this
new school.”
Following the show, her love for the theater and the dramatics quickly
developed. “From then on she was the theatre person,” said her younger
brother, KC ’06. “When we were growing up, she would take on these
different characters, do different actions on a whim— speak in a British
accent, or really dig into a southern drawl, something like that.”
Enduring Values from GDS
There are certain ideals that are necessary to succeed in this industry diligence, dedication and charm. “I learned a work ethic at GDS that I did not
learn from college,” Meg said.
With a guiding hand, GDS pushes its students to a higher level. It not only
prepares students for college, but life after college as well. For Meg, this
carried into her commitment to acting. Whether it was a minor part or a lead
role, she never took an audition lightly. “Meg always prepared really well for
her roles, she did her research on them. She’s always been really meticulous
about that— she takes learning beyond the lines,” Tutterow said.
Finally performing all the lines she wholeheartedly memorized, Meg kept her
game face on, even when mishaps occurred. For instance, when she played
Anita in West Side Story, and was in the middle of confronting the Jets. “She got
a nosebleed,” Tutterow recalls. “Tommy Webb was [on stage] playing and he
kept offering her a towel to wipe her nose, and she kept saying, ‘no.’ She stayed
in character because her character wouldn’t have stopped for anything.”
Meg even experimented by playing a male role in The Taming of the Shrew
her junior year. “She was funny in every interpretation,” Tutterow said. “It
was fun seeing how versatile she was.”
However, her strong focus on understanding characters never detracted
from her bubbly, smiley personality. “She’s always been very personable.
It’s definitely going to help her in this type of industry, having a likable
personality,” KC said.

Slightly Bigger than Prom
But she invited KC as her date for the night, which helped ease the butterflies
in her stomach. “She actually forgot her purse the first time we left [her
apartment], like typical Meg.” KC said. “In the car ride down, she was very
excited and nervous. But of course once she was there, it was like she’d
been there a hundred times. All smiles, posing for cameras like she’d done
it before.”
As poised and professional as Meg was for the premiere, she acknowledged
how different it was from her typical routine. “The art of it is so separate
from the publicity. I understand why people do it, but it’s so separate what I
feel like I do, which is the acting part,” she reflected.
Like most HBO shows, Boardwalk Empire caters to an adult audience. At the
premiere, Meg had to consider her brother sitting next to her during a seminude scene. “I just made sure she gave me a tap on the leg if there was a
scene coming I wasn’t expecting,” KC said. “Her agent, manager and I were
very pleased with how it was presented— a very tasteful manner.”
Once a Bengal, Always a Bengal
As much as she’s grown since strolling the halls of GDS, strong feelings
of gratitude, love and friendship are forever rooted in her. “GDS gave me
my start in everything theatre,” Meg said. “They always put a value on
academics and the arts.”
Linda Sloan, Meg’s first director back in 3rd grade, is still her mentor today.
In fact, they still meet up when Sloan is in the City. But Meg is also grateful
for everyone else that helped make her experience at GDS so memorable:
Ruthie Tutterow, Judy McLaughlin, Beth Dunbar and Dana Lowell. “I was so
blessed to be charmed by the people and have that theater to work in. I’ve
worked in professional theaters that aren’t as high-tech as that one,” she
said, in reference to the Sloan Theatre.
And as big as her career has grown, she remains humble and approachable
to younger GDS students seeking guidance. “I love it when people from GDS
call me up. I love feeling connected to it,” Meg said.
Overall, Meg has earned everything that has come her way. She knows there
is no silver spoon handed to her in this industry. Who knows what’s in store
next for the rising star, but she is constantly auditioning to find out. “Hard
work always pays off in some way. You don’t always know how it’s going to
pay off,” Meg said. “I’m not saying it has paid off, but that is what has gotten
me the things that I’m proud about, just keeping at it.”

ANNUAL REPORT

Annual Report of Donors 2011-2012
Fran and Bert Davis, Annual Fund First Chairs, say that the spirit of
giving is evident everyday at Greensboro Day School as faculty and
staff, students, parents and other members of the school community
give of themselves to foster an academic and nurturing environment
for their children.
Last year was truly an extraordinary year of giving at Greensboro Day
School, and we gratefully acknowledge the generous donors who
demonstrated their commitment to the school’s mission last year. Through
charitable gifts and pledges totaling $3,117,054, made between July 1,
2011 and June 30, 2012, donors supported current operations, improved
existing facilities, secured funding for a new Middle School building, and
continued to build permanent endowment funds for the future.
This report celebrates and recognizes generous giving to Greensboro Day
School during the 2011-2012 academic year.
--------------------------------------Annual Giving for Current Operations
The Annual Fund First: Then & Now Campaign, under the Davis’ leadership,
far exceeded expectations of our $700,000 goal, with a grand total of
$818,334 in gifts and pledges. An anonymous donor issued a challenge to
match dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000 for new or increased gifts. The GDS
community, especially trustees and alumni, enthusiastically responded. In
fact, while the national trend in pre-college alumni giving declined in 2011
(according to the VSE Survey) the number of GDS alumni donors and their
total dollars increased significantly. The total number of donors from all
constituencies to the Annual Fund was 1,089. Leadership donors, whose
gifts were $1,000 or more, totaled 275. A new category of leadership
donors – Sustaining Parents of Alumni – gave generously in gratitude for
the education their children received at Greensboro Day School.
The Annual Fund, our most important ongoing fundraising activity,
provides funds for every aspect of our educational program, including
salaries, classroom supplies, arts, athletics, and facilities maintenance.
Another $85,018 in restricted gifts supported student programs and
faculty professional development.
--------------------------------------Capital Funds for Facilities
The Generations Capital Campaign, led by chairs Merrill and Chuck Keeley
’81 and Melinda and Jim Rucker ’82, launched on September 17 with $3
million in commitments. During the year, another $1.5 million was secured
bringing the campaign total on June 30 to over $4.5 million: two-thirds of
our $7 million goal. In April, we were pleased to announce the school’s first
gift of over $1 million by the Jackie and Steve Bell family. The new Middle
School will be named in recognition of their extraordinary generosity.
Throughout the year, we featured generational stories of lead donors
to the campaign, including the Bell, Keeley, Rucker, Jennings and Boney
38
families. Through a generous gift made by the
Klinger family in spring 2012, the Upper School
opened with an elevator to ease navigation of
our two-story building. In total, capital gifts
(some received on pledges) and new pledges
for facilities totaled nearly $2.2 million.
--------------------------------------Endowment
Building a permanent endowment is crucial to the long-term financial
health of the school and remains a priority. Last year, gifts to the
endowment totaled $22,650. These gifts, the earnings from which will
provide a source of income in perpetuity, support faculty professional
development, financial aid, and student programs.
--------------------------------------Appreciation for Jobs Well-Done
Finally, with admiration and appreciation, the advancement office
bid farewell to longtime annual fund director Terri Jackson who wore
many titles during her time at GDS, including Assistant Director of
Development, Director of Communications, and Director of Annual and
Corporate Giving, all with a contagious laugh and a fierce loyalty for this
school. Over her 14 years, she raised millions of dollars to support the
important mission of GDS, and would say she “had a marvelous time
doing it!” We also supported Alumni Director Kathy Davis’ decision to
return fulltime to teach Upper School math. As a teacher, girls’ basketball
coach, advisor, and fruit sale maven, whose tenure spans most of the
school’s 42 years, Kathy has taught the majority of GDS alumni who still
respond to her call to volunteer or give back to their alma mater. Much
of the school’s advancement success over the past 14 years is due to
both Kathy and Terri, and the wonderful volunteers and employees who
are listed on the last page of this report. In particular, we appreciate the
leadership of the Davis, Keeley and Rucker families, past and current
Board Chairs Burney Jennings and Fran Tewkesbury, who work tirelessly
and give generously to this school.
The following pages list the numerous individuals, corporations and
foundations that supported Greensboro Day School with gifts and
pledges during the 2011-2012 school year. Every effort has been made
to ensure the accuracy of this report. However, as with any work of this
nature, inadvertent errors or omissions may occur. If this has occurred,
we apologize and ask that you contact the GDS Office of Advancement at
336-288-8590 or email leighmunsey@greensboroday.org.
Last year, as advancement officers and volunteers were discussing annual
and capital giving with the GDS community, we asked that you make a
gift that makes you proud. And, you did. On behalf of the Greensboro
Day School community, we thank you.
