To all you
Hawthorne folk: A highlight of the reunion is to be rooms devoted to displays of what everyone has been doing since Hawthorne: -- One for the visual arts and for sound -- paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, videos, tapes of music, speeches, etc. -- One for printed materials: newspaper/periodical articles by and about alumni and faculty; books by and about alumni and faculty; poetry and fiction by alumni and faculty. -- A third for Hawthorne Memorabilia: yearbooks, photographs, assignments/exams; articles about Hawthorne; remembrances of moments/events written by anyone. All materials are to be sent in advance to: Jennifer Woods '69For questions contact Jennifer. Jennifer and her husband are ready to catalogue and store all submissions. Jennifer says that her mailman and UPS know her well for things sent her for various occasions she has managed. On the Friday of the Reunion, a committee of alumni will set up these rooms at the 4-H Center. Jennifer requests that every item be identified by a 5 x 7 unlined card on which is written with a green permanent marker the name of the alumnus/a, graduation or last year at Hawthorne, title of item if appropriate and a sentence or two of explanation or identification. We look forward to seeing you all, Sandy and Eleanor |
To all you Hawthorne Folk out there, An idea that has been rolling around in our (and others') heads for some time is to put together a book about Hawthorne. The idea is that the story of Hawthorne demonstrates the quality of living and learning that can be the product of keeping schools small. Our aim is to provide the kind of evidence that can support the fledgling movement in this country to break up our much too large school buildings into several separate schools within each build- ing, each with its own administration, its own faculty, its own schedule, its own curriculum. Who better to tell this story than the Hawthorne alumni? We hope that all of you will want to contribute to such a book. The sheer diversity of the alumni as well as the faculty would make for an educationally informative and entertaining book. One of our goals at the 2005 gathering would be to share and expand on what by then would have been submitted The stage will be there: the open-mike, the general session, the break-out sessions, and the give and take of incidental conversations throughout the weekend provide the perfect setting for such an undertaking. We hope all of you, those who are coming and those who are not, will start thinking now about all those things that in your mind would not have been possible in one of the large public high schools of today and why you think such things are so important. Start writing now. For now, it's enough to just list the things that were important to you or to write first-draft sketches of those things. It can all be piecemeal at this point. We can all refine it down the pike. Send now before the Reunion whatever you come up with to Stowe Davison '67 4813 Erie St. College Park, MD 20740 or by email to s.davison@computer.org We look forward to seeing you, Sandy and Eleanor |
