VOLUME 21 NO. 2 FALL 2014

W elcome to this edition of The Quill! Last year, we began working with a group called Mindpower because we wanted to tell our story more effectively. Pike has been a fine school since Cynthia Pike began with six students in 1926,

and yet, many people do not know about us. When Mindpower’s representatives met with many members of our community and spent time on campus, they were struck by the positive energy they found at every turn, and that theme of positive energy is at the heart of our new look and materials. In a world where we are often bombarded with bad news and insoluble problems, what better gift to give our children than a positive outlook and a confidence that they can make a difference.

On the first day of school, it was amazing to see and feel the energy on display as students, faculty, and parents all returned to campus and reconnected with one another. After sharing stories from the summer, we all dove back into the rhythms of the school year. I took the time to walk by all the classrooms during the first week, and it was exciting to see the passion of the teachers and the engagement of our students. We often hear about disinterested and disengaged students in schools, but that has never been the case at Pike. I have witnessed situations where a teacher might have been delayed getting to class, and the students have gotten out their work and begun to discuss it without an adult in the room, a scenario that shows us that we are well on our way to achieving our mission of creating “independent learners and responsible citizens.”

Now that we are well into the first term, the energy level has remained high. In Upper School, electives are humming along exposing our students to concepts like marketing, current events, bridge building, yoga and more. Clubs are busy in Middle and Upper School with children following their interests, whether public speaking or working at the SPCA or participating in math contests. In Lower School, we have begun to introduce iPads, and it is amazing to see what our younger students can already accomplish.

Plus, teachers have been hard at work honing their craft. On our October professional day, we spent the morning looking at evidence we had all collected of student learning and discussing ways to improve our assessments so we will know even more clearly what our students are learning. In the afternoon, our new Director of Community Life Michael Eatman asked all faculty and staff to consider the ways in which they were privileged in their lives and how that may impact their worldviews. Also, we held small group discussions around the following question: What was your family life like growing up and how might those experiences impact who you are today? The resulting conversations were fascinating and helped all of us to reflect on how our backgrounds might impact our teaching. These discussions will allow us to be more perceptive and empathetic teachers.

Welcome to the 2014-15 school year! I know that you will feel the positive energy that permeates our community in the pages of this magazine. Enjoy!

THE POWER OF

positive energy




“They hit it right on,” said Head of School John “Muddy” Waters. “We knew that one of our biggest challenges with this effort was that we are such a diverse community – people have so many reasons why they love Pike – we felt it might be challenging to find that commonality. But positive energy is that commonality.”

Tasked with developing a creative branding platform with the goal of inspiring the internal community, engaging the external community and assisting in attracting new, right-fit families to Pike, Mindpower employed a multi-faceted methodology that began with an extensive discovery process to best understand what made Pike tick. Then, they came to see it for themselves. They conducted on-campus interviews with key constituents last fall, meeting with parents, students, faculty, staff, alumni and trustees and came away amazed at the information they gleaned.

“The feedback was completely positive, which is unusual,” said Mindpower’s Jenny Brower. “It sent signals about this community, the fact that everyone seemed so in love with Pike and what it does for children.”

“When we experienced Pike, our take was that it is an impressive place – warm, engaging and challenging – with really strong outcomes,” she added. “We thought, ‘here’s

a place that is doing everything right, but what is it that made it different?’ Our feeling was this: wrapped around the academic rigor, arts, music and athletic opportunities is a positive and welcoming environment that helps to springboard students to their next step in life. Students are armed with the confidence to tackle whatever they want to do.”

With a foundation built upon positive energy, Mindpower insists anything is possible. And as they discovered during their own visit to Pike, it is the secret to students’ success here. From seeing their toy bears come to life in Kindergarten to exploring science through the lens of augmented reality and the iPad in the Upper School, students gain the skill sets and self-reliance to become curious and thoughtful learners. From there, the sky is the limit.

“The proof is in the students’ experiences,” said Mindpower’s Bo Uzzle. “What is markedly different at Pike is the confidence of the student. That comes from the fact that they are surrounded by people who believe in them and nurture them.”

“If students experience this continuum of positive energy at a young age,” added Brower, “they will carry it with

It is that presence you feel when you walk down the hallways of the Pike School. The “it factor” that separates Pike from other schools and makes it such a special place. That distinct feature that was difficult to define – until now.

Beginning in July 2013, the Pike School embarked on an adventure with Mindpower Inc., an Atlanta-based brand strategy and branding executing agency, to help the school express its unique character and strengths. Mindpower took to the challenge of succinctly clarifying exactly what that special quality of the Pike experience was. Their conclusion?

Positive energy.

BRANDING STATEMENT

At Pike School, we believe every child has unlimited potential.

That’s why we provide unlimited possibilities – for thinking, creating, competing, and unleashing curiosity.

We surround every student with a web of positive energy – small classes, one-on-one attention, and, of course, fabulous teachers.

The kind who teach children the most important lesson of all: To believe in themselves.

History shows that our students do.

That’s the power of positive energy.

That’s Pike School.

them for the rest of their lives. It has a ripple effect….if you plant the seeds of learning and creativity early, your child will be able to do whatever he or she wants to do.”

During the spring and summer, members of Pike’s internal marketing committee worked to properly integrate the new branding platform into Pike’s internal and external communication efforts. They worked with Mindpower on updating admission and advertising materials, produced new campus photography and signage, and developed sleek new swag with the aid of new Pike Gear Coordinator Lisa Lapp P’16.

Pike’s website was also renovated to reflect the new branding identity. In addition to the aesthetic improvements, the site was responsively designed to create the best possible user experience for desktop, mobile and tablet users. Pike also introduced the school’s new one-stop communication platform, “PikeHub,” which streams the school’s news, events, blog, photos and social media channels to one convenient, user-friendly location.

It all adds up to a potent and distinct presentation of the Pike School experience – and further emphasizes the power of positive energy.

“It makes me proud to have that at our core,” said Waters. “When you have positive energy in place, everything else can flow from that. In today’s world, we need beacons of positive energy, people who look at the glass as being half full. Being a part of a community that exudes that is such a privilege.”



WHAT THEY HEARD

Mindpower received helpful and resoundingly positive feedback throughout the interviews and focus groups it conducted with members of the Pike School community last fall. Here are just a few sentiments conveyed by our greater community on why they love Pike:

student

“You don’t have to be afraid to ask questions.”

faculty member

“The kid culture at Pike is amazing: curious, enthusiastic, interested in learning. Students WANT to learn. As a teacher, that feels great.”

parent

“The school nurtures an intense excitement around learning. Learning has been made so fun for our kids. They come home talking about school, and their eyes just light up.”

student

“There’s not one type of person you have to be (at Pike). Pike kids seem more accepting of all different kinds of people.”

INTRODUCING THE PIKE POSITRONS

A key design element to Pike’s new visual identity is the “positron,” which will maintain an important presence in the school’s branding, indicating the presence or influence of positive energy.

“The positrons are meant to suggest a flow or transfer of energy between the school and the student and then back to the school,” said Mindpower’s Bo Uzzle. “The energy, for it to be effective, must flow through different experiences and audiences.”



POSITIVELY PIKEThe Pike School Viewbook

Pike’s admission materials were updated as part of the rebranding effort. The two-sided book offers a sneak peek into the Lower & Middle School experiences on one side and the Upper School experience on the other. Combined, the publication is a great representation of Pike’s new brand and what makes Pike such a special place.

Our promise:

We will surround your child with positive energy.It’s in the air. Along the hallways. Throughout every classroom. And on every child’s face.

Because of it, our students believe they can do anything.

Positively award-winning. Pike’s speech team recently returned victorious from Nationals competition in Overland Park, Kansas. Since its first Nationals competition a decade ago, the team has garnered 12 individual National Championships as well as seven “School of Excellence” awards.

Positive energy creates endless possibilities. And a Pike education guarantees students are prepared to take advantage of every one. By the time they graduate, our students are master learners. They know how to manage their time, build meaningful relationships with adults, and advocate for themselves. They also know what it means to make a positive impact in the world.

In recent years, the majority of Pike graduates have enrolled at Brooks School, The Governor’s Academy, Phillips Academy, Pingree School, and St. John’s Prep. Pike students also matriculate to some of the area’s excellent public schools. In both cases, teachers who have the pleasure of interacting with our graduates all say the same thing: that Pike students “have it together.” They are organized, articulate, confident learners.

It’s hard to miss at Pike. In fact, positive energy fuels our campus.

In the Upper School, that means creating the kind of environment where it feels safe taking intellectual and creative risks, and where every student is really and truly “seen” (and known, and heard).

No wonder our students are happy, curious, confident kids.

And no wonder they grow up to be such successful adults.

PIKE POINTS


PIKE POINTS PIKE POINTS

Q What interested you in the Pike School?

A I was impressed by the work already being done at the Pike School around issues of diversity and inclusivity. To pursue a leadership position around race relations as a predominantly white institution grabbed my attention. Including my work as a diversity professional this year marks my 22nd year in the field, so I have spent most of my life in education. I felt that this was a great opportunity for me to bring what I’ve learned through scholarship and awareness to the Pre-K through Grade 9 level. There is a considerable body of research making the case that children at a very early age notice differences beyond what adults imagine. As early as infancy they are aware. There is a lot of work to be explored at the primary stage when students start to be influenced and learn about differences.

Q Your role, director of community life, is brand new to Pike. How do you hope it will impact the community?

A I hope to work with parents and students to connect and expand upon the concept of how we can live better together in our diverse perspective. Taking into consideration influences such as economics, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation – these are among the defining factors of who we are – I want to explore how we can have greater appreciation and respect our uniqueness. I hope to partner with the institution in developing the whole child, including social and emotional learning. In addition, I hope to connect with teachers in supporting their efforts to sustain learning environments that reflect the diverse perspectives of our community and that of larger society.

Q&A WITH MICHAEL EATMANPike’s New Director of Community Life

PIKE POINTS


PIKE POINTS PIKE POINTSPIKE POINTS

I have particular interest in partnering with our admission team to find the best ways for us to become the school of choice for new families. When you bring a big group of people together you have diversity. Inclusion is how all of those people are recognized and included. My role gives me the opportunity to tell our story when we talk about inclusion and to be one of those who voice that into the larger community.

Q What interested you in a career path in diversity?

A My dad started a school 32 years ago and my path began there. When I graduated high school they offered a program for students at the top of the class to teach there, so I took advantage of it. I ended up teaching for 10 years, four of those years while an undergraduate student. I did not know what a diversity office was in 1992, but when I moved to Michigan the pendulum began to swing for me. As a research assistant in the psychology department at the University of Michigan, I discovered that the research being conducted in my lab on racial identity was essentially what I was doing in the classroom toward helping students of diverse backgrounds be their best selves. I attribute the University of Michigan and my experience there for kick starting the work I do now.

During this same time, I began working with a small liberal arts school as an academic advocate for students of color. I learned quickly that many of the students I was to help didn’t understand that an African-American man at a predominantly white institution had the space or place to assist them. While I looked for inroads with those students I took the opportunity to work with the international and white students that came into the learning center.

As a result of this work, I was given the opportunity to be the first director of multicultural programs at this school. My role was designated to work with students of color, international students and white students. I quickly discovered that learning about these groups separately only gave me information, but not insight, in how to bring those diverse groups together. Through the efforts of a gifted group of student workers on my staff, I recognized that we were creating cross-cultural engagement opportunities for students that many had not previously had access to.

From this work I developed an alliance of students called A.L.B.A.N.I.E. (This group encompassed students of Asian, Latino, Biracial, African-American, Native- American, International and European heritage), which serves as the intellectual framework of my work toward bringing people together into a diverse, inclusive community.

Q What are your goals for this academic year?

A Currently, we are at the beginning phase of an institutional assessment, which is designed to give us a current snapshot of our level of inclusion. This, along with utilizing an inclusion framework, will help us identify strategies that will help us become a more inclusive institution. The first year is about getting a snapshot of where we are, what it will take to make this office sustainable, and how we can create value for this office and not just the person. I am also excited about the opportunity to work alongside faculty and students this year. There are a lot of great programs already going on at Pike and I want to support those efforts and provide leadership for nurturing our work at the next level.

Q After years of working in diversity in a higher education setting, what value do you believe this role has at the Pre-K through Grade 9 level?

A At the higher education level, I discovered that students had experiences that had already shaped who they were. While some students had good experiences around differences – culture, religion, gender, race and politics – I realized that working with students within a four-year cycle was challenging because not everyone got it. My continual thought was that we needed to get to them sooner. Pre-K is great place to begin. At this level, we can create a framework where students can ask questions and not make assumptions about differences. We can develop a level of education for students, parents and staff that when they ask questions there can be an educational Q-and-A that can happen, instead of ignoring situations like many do. We can put in proactive measures that will allow students to live in an inclusive environment in a healthy way and create a place where we can live better together.

I hope to work with parents and students to connect and expand upon the concept of how we can live better together in our diverse perspective.“ ”

Speech Team Shines at Nationals; Kreismanis Takes Top Honor

Pike’s Speech Team performed honorably at the National Speech & Debate Tournament in Overland Park, Kansas in June.

The team, led by teacher Bob Hutchings, spent several long days at Shawnee Mission North High School for the preliminary rounds of forensics competition and then moved to the Overland Park Convention Center for the final rounds of the tournament. In all, nine team members earned recognition for their efforts, including Melisa Kreismanis ’14, who was named national champion in storytelling. She became the 12th Pike School student to garner an individual title since the team’s inception a decade ago.

Congratulations to all students on their wonderful accomplishments!

A sculpture representing the last pair of Great Auks and their egg was donated to the Pike School last spring.

The artwork, one of two created by New England sculptor Jim Sardonis, now resides in the library. The Pike librarians held a naming contest for the statue last school year with more than 100 students from all three divisions submitting entries. Current third grader Hannah Selverian’s submission of “Romeo & Juliet” was the winning selection.

“Persimmon Tree” by Margaret Lee

Ten members of last year’s seventh-grade class earned recognition for their artwork as part of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, a prestigious regional and national competition for young artists and writers in grades 7-12.

The students below were among the winners for the Massachusetts region, including Margaret Lee, who also earned a gold medal for her artwork “Persimmon Tree” in the national competition. In total, 19 Pike students submitted 25 pieces of work to the regional competition.

With roughly 230,000 entries from students across Eastern Massachusetts last year, the Boston Globe Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, presented by the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, remains extremely competitive. Award winners represent the top-20 percent of all entries with gold key winners representing the top-10 percent of work in each of the 28 categories. Gold-key artwork was displayed as part of an exhibition at Boston City Hall last March.

At the national level, Lee was one of just two seventh graders from Massachusetts who earned a gold medal and one of only four Massachusetts students in total recognized by the prestigious competition. Her work was exhibited in New York City as part of the national exhibit with an awards reception held last June.

Past winners of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, which date back to 1923, include: Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford, Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King and John Updike, among others.

“This is a wonderful recognition of our students’ tremendous work and I could not be more proud,” said Upper School Art Teacher Chris Vivier. “I hope that you will join me in congratulating these students and celebrating this exceptional honor.”

As part of the grant from Corning Life Sciences, Pike School received all-new laboratory products in the Upper School science department this year.

Products such as pipettes, test tubes, beakers, graduated cylinders, flasks, dishes and hot plates/stirrers were distributed amongst classrooms for use in hands-on experimentation of life, environmental, and physical sciences.

“On behalf of the Upper School science department and our students, I want to extend our thanks and sincere appreciation to Corning Labs for their generous donation to the Pike School,” said Head of the Upper School Colleen Welsh. “The lab supplies and materials will enhance our students’ experience in the lab and we are very grateful.”

Upper School Science Department Chair Rob Smith also expressed his gratitude to Corning, which donated approximately $4,000 worth of equipment. As part of the grant, he says that Corning employees will also visit Pike to teach students about proper use and handling of lab ware as well as to share their knowledge of cell culture.

The Pike School was chosen to participate in the 2014 “Corning Partners in Community” Program, sponsored by Corning Life Sciences. As part of the program, Pike received all new laboratory products for its Upper School science department for the 2014-2015 school year.

“As a science teacher trying to get students interested in science careers, it will be especially beneficial for our students to hear that what they are learning right now in the Upper School has real-life implications and value

for when they enter the workforce,” he said. “I hope that being involved in this program might even lead more students into the various fields of science.”

The strength of Pike lies in one word - community. Although it sounds simple, “community” actually describes a complex fabric comprised of many “parts” including: family, friends, students, teachers, alumni, parents, and grandparents, all woven together through space and time. In Pike’s 88-year history, thousands of people have dedicated their precious hours and resources into making our school community what it is today. Pike is a place where lifetime friendships begin, a place where the bond between school and family is so sturdy that the line between the two often blurs, a place rich with resources and abundant with opportunities. The Pike community can be this kind of place, in part, because of a healthy Annual Fund.

As I peruse the pages of the 2013-2014 Annual Report, I am struck with an overwhelming sense of pride for Pike. Behind the names listed within, I see the current parents who never tire of watching their child rush into the front doors and head to class, the grandparents who never miss an opportunity to support Pike, the parents of alumni who graduated more than thirty years ago who are still grateful for the foundation it provided their children. I see the alumni who graduated in June who look forward to visiting campus again soon, the faculty who love what they do every day, the alumni who graduated over sixty years ago and who still cherish those precious memories. And, I see every member of the Board of Trustees leading the path to a successful Annual Fund. Of course, I am also delighted when I come across the volunteers of the Annual Fund Team, led by Frank and Noreen Britt P’08, P’11, P’15, whose energy and enthusiasm across all constituencies never waned. All of you contributed to our most successful Annual Fund in the history of the school.

As you read through the pages of the Annual Report, enveloped inside The Quill magazine, I hope you too have a renewed sense of what it means to be a part of the Pike community. It means appreciating the work we do inside the classroom, always improving the facilities, enjoying the friendships along the way, and, most important, declaring your support for the Pike experience. Giving a philanthropic gift annually to Pike not only ensures the well-being of the school but is the thread that binds us all together; a community that exists not only on campus but around the world.

Enjoy.

“We feel our children benefited greatly from their experiences at Pike. Two years on, the kids will be the first to tell you how well prepared they were for high school coming out of Pike. They still talk of their time at Pike, the teachers and the wonderful friends who they remain close with today. We also believe that families were generous with their support in the past so that Pike could be the school our children attended. Therefore, we need to pay that forward for future generations.”

They encouraged their creativity and individuality. Pike provided our children with a solid foundation for their higher education, careers and enjoyment of life.”

100%



Few decisions in the formative phases of a child’s life will be as enduring as where to attend pre-k to 8th grade. These experiences establish academic foundations and influence character development, and in the end will be woven into the fabric of the their lives. This positive, yet uncertain, journey sets them on a trajectory that will someday profoundly impact high school, and likely even college choices. For our family starting back in 2001, this was the high stakes decision we confronted: where to send our three kids in a local market with lots of good alternatives? Our decision to choose the Pike experience, and the 25 subsequent academic years of education earned, literally changed ourkids’ futures. It also helped us as parents become better contributors to important elements of their academic development as independent learners and self-advocates. We use these skills today as parents of an 8th grader, a senior at the Brooks School and a sophomore at the University of Richmond. With the benefit of perspective, what we came to truly understand was that each of our kids was different, and each needed alternative types of autonomy and intervention. Embracing this fundamental insight required us to trust the faculty, and the overall Pike process – and in our experience became the difference maker in affirming why Pike. It has also always been the primary catalyst for our commitment to the annual fund because to make this happen at scale requires sufficient incremental resources, even beyond tuition, to fund both the better version of the basics, and the innovation needed to continually build an even better Pike. The collective Pike ethos embraces that everyone shines given the right lighting and an ideal deeply embedded in the fabric of the institution. To make it real requires dedication, foresight and a sufficient capital base to compete for the best talent – both faculty and student – and invest in programs and pilots that drive the next generation of an institution that has thrived for 88 years. And, it is guided by the simple notion of seeking to making a lasting difference in the lives of each child as the goal, and overtime this translates into building strong wings for all students. For us, this was always the true Pike Promise, and well over a decade later we can confidently affirm that the annual fund is the cornerstone of helping enable to make the Pike School truly different. With the value we have enjoyed and the transformational experience provided for our children, why wouldn’t one give to the annual fund? That is a question we are not well prepared to answer.

The Pike School would not be where it is today but for the generosity of generations of loyal supporters. Our donors have allowed us – and continue to allow us – to dream and stretch as we fulfill our mission.We have become ever more aware of the importance of accessibility to Pike, and the Finance Committee works diligently to achieve the balance between providing essential resources in support of teachers and students while also containing costs wherever possible. The Annual Fund is critical to this balance and to our success as a community of learners.

Last year, we made the conscious decision to direct our advancement efforts toward growing the Annual Fund as a mission-critical component of the school. The community response was overwhelming, with donors investing over $100,000 more in the students, teachers, and classrooms of Pike than they had the previous year. To underscore just how important philanthropy is to Pike, this year we set as one of our administrative goals to continue that focus on the Annual Fund by highlighting the support that the funds raised provide every student, reinforcing the shared commitment we all have to the Annual Fund, and building closer relationships across all constituencies throughout the year.

Clearly, the Annual Fund is a critical part of our community. To all of you that have joined in making Pike better able to serve its students, thank you! We truly appreciate your dedication to our shared mission.

Muddy WatersHead of School

“Pike stands out to me as a great school with a solid outlook on the whole education and health of each student. Pike deserves our contributions to continue to grow in positive directions. I give with gratitude for the help and loving care Pike provided my children.”

Our son and his wife live in New Hampshire. We have 5 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. I wonder if there is anyone from my class of 1944, who is living in the area.”

1950s’51 Gael Grant ’51 writes, “I am on my ‘summer’ schedule! Gardening, French class (one not two) and weekly Farmers’ market where I ‘man’ a desk and answer all gardening related questions- thereby freeing up the farmers to sell their goods.”

Robert Stefani ’46 writes, “1946 was an important year in Andover as it was celebrating its tercentennial anniversary. Three students from The Pike School, then located on Hidden Road, participated in a bicycle race in May.

The race began opposite the Ballardvale Fire Station and ended at

the Playstead on Whittier Street. George Fraser ’46, myself, and my

younger brother Marco Stefani ’49 finished first, third, and fifth place

– not bad for a small school. George was in early training as he bicycled

up many hills from the other side of Shawsheen to school. George, Jay

Morehouse ‘45, and I were the minority as we had five girls comprising

the rest of eighth grade. George had it right as the girls gave us a tough

time in softball. They had a “ringer” in Steve Sorota, the football coach

at Phillips Academy who made sure the girls beat the boys. Sorota was

a mentor to future coach Bill Belichick. Steve was in the backfield with

Ernie Lombardi, one of the linemen known as part of the “blocks of

granite” at Fordham University. Lombardi also became a pretty good

coach with the Green Bay Packers. I got a Master’s degree at Fordham

University while I lived in New York City. I lived in three boroughs in

the following order: Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. I loved 45 years

of it. I retired as an administrator in the NYC Human Resource Adult

Service program and moved into my grandmother’s house in Andover.”

HIRAM SAMEL ’72

Teaching, Learning, Investing

It’s not his lifelong love of learning that sets Hiram Samel ’72 apart from the average person. What’s most impressive is the complexity of Hiram’s research and his emerging conclusions.

T he seeds of Hiram’s inquisitiveness were sown at Pike and continue to flourish today. “Pike stimulated my

curiosity. I didn’t get bored there,” said Hiram. He attended from kindergarten through eighth grade. Today, he is an entrepreneur, an investor and holds a joint appointment at the University of Oxford, as an associate professor of international business at the Säid Business School and a fellow of Lady Margaret Hall in Oxford, England. After spending many years building and managing medium-sized companies that operated in 20 countries, Hiram is sharing his knowledge of political economy, research of global manufacturing structures and his passion for innovation.

Hiram’s expertise in government policy and company strategy makes him a good fit at Oxford and Säid. “I’m unusual because I have experience in industry,” said Hiram. Getting into Oxford is highly competitive. According to Hiram, there are 1,300 applicants for 80 spots in the program he teaches in – economics and management. “There aren’t many colleges or universities that still do what we do, except for Oxford and Cambridge,” said Hiram. He teaches one-to-three students at a time using the Socratic method, discussion-based learning that stimulates critical thinking. He also teaches a class of 70 students in the MBA program. He enjoys the ongoing dialogue between his students.

After graduating from Brown University in 1982 with a A.B. in history, Hiram planned on entering the M.I.T. Sloan School of Management. However, his plans took a turn and he needed to defer his acceptance to the Sloan School for what he thought would be one year. Instead, Hiram headed to New York to help his uncle with a family business in crisis. He ultimately became president of Wittenberg Distributors, Inc. After 10 years, the company closed its doors with significant debt. Fortunately, the debt was repaid through the success of his next venture, Merida Meridian, Inc., a textile company specializing in plant fibers. Merida Meridian, Inc., located in Boston, Mass., sells to prominent designers and big-name home furnishing retailers including Williams-Sonoma and Restoration Hardware. Hiram served as president from 1992-2006 and remains chairman of the company today.

After more than 20 years since he deferred his acceptance, Hiram was finally able to enroll in M.I.T.’s Sloan School of Management. “Persistence. You can be clever, but you actually have to work,” said Hiram when asked what was the most significant piece of knowledge he learned at Pike. For Hiram, Pike was a wake-up call. “All through my years at Pike, my report card said the same thing. ‘Lots of potential, but doesn’t do anything with it,’” said Hiram. “I realized I needed to take advantage of what I had before it was too late.” He remembers the quality of the teachers and the opportunities to feed his curiosity.

Hiram has been taking advantage of every opportunity since Pike and learning a lot along the way. He is researching the complex global relationships between innovation and production to understand why some countries grow faster than others when it comes to technology. His current research suggests that the United States, and other countries leading the way in innovation, might be losing more than just jobs when their start-up companies ship prototypes overseas for manufacturing. The intangible loss might be innovation itself. When a company who invented a device doesn’t produce it, that company’s engineers no longer have the advantage when it comes to developing future prototypes because they lack the institutional knowledge of how the device came to fruition.

Hiram’s expertise in political economy and his ongoing research regarding innovation overseas make him a very informed investor. Hiram supports cutting-edge start-up companies in the United States. “As an investor, I enjoy growing things,” said Hiram. “I’m focused on companies that are trying to solve big problems – like energy and medical devices.” Hiram is also trying to solve big problems with his triple-pronged approach – teaching, learning and investing.

ALUMNI PROFILE


ALUMNI PROFILE

Steve Andrews ’70 reflects on Pike through three

lenses- as a student, an alumnus, and now, as a parent.

“The teachers are still so passionate and skilled at their

profession,” said Steve. “The facilities are more colorful;

there’s more sunlight in the classrooms, but the essence

of Pike remains the same.” More than 40 years have

passed since Steve graduated from Pike and he’s glad to

have the chance to experience Pike again, through the

eyes of his daughter, Jessica.

When Jessica was old enough to go to school, Steve and his wife Lisa were living in Michigan. “She was in a Montessori school and didn’t want to leave her friends,” said Steve. However, they decided that they wanted to be nearer to family and therefore moved back to Andover in 2008. Luckily for Jessica, she had an easy transition to Pike. She entered Pike as a first grader, just as Steve did almost 50 years earlier. “Her teacher was Mrs. Addesa. You couldn’t have asked for a nicer person to welcome her to Pike,” said Steve. Steve is immersed in the daily life of the school and enjoying his time back “home.”

Steve’s path back to Andover took him all over the world. He is a pilot for Delta Airlines. Since college, Steve has lived in five states – Florida, Minnesota,

A New Look at

PIKESteve Andrews ’70


Massachusetts, Hawaii, and Michigan – with travel routes to cities on nearly every continent. “When I was living in Hawaii, I flew passenger trips to Asia a lot. I got a real feel for cities like Bejing and Singapore,” said Steve. “Vacations included scuba diving in Australia and hiking in New Zealand.” Today, his winter route is a flight from the United States to Amsterdam to Mumbai and back. In the summer, he flies to 10 different cities including: Paris, Barcelona and Rome. “It’s great for the first few times. I take advantage of the sights,” said Steve. “I enjoy my schedule because there is a lot of free time to pursue other things.”

It’s hard to imagine what those “other things” are though – Steve has been flying since his sophomore year of college. “I was halfway through my time at Harvard, when

a friend of mine who was a pilot asked me if I wanted to fly with him,” said Steve. They flew out of Lawrence Municipal Airport and headed to Martha’s Vineyard. “He let me fly part of the way and I was hooked. This is something I’d like to do!” He majored in psychology. “My first love was creative writing but I didn’t want to be an English major,” said Steve. “My advisor recommended that I study psychology because it was a way to look at the world and influence my writing.” But after his adventure in the plane, he knew flying was his real passion. His parents supported his decision and the rest is history.

Steve had the skills he needed to succeed in trying something new because of the strong educational foundation he received at Pike. “I gained confidence at Pike. I learned that with hard work, I could achieve anything,” said Steve. “At Pike, teachers pushed us. They didn’t settle for substandard work.” Steve reminisces about how caring the faculty at Pike was and how often teachers put the students first. One memory that exemplifies Pike for him is of the sixth-grade hockey team that almost never came into being. The coach at the time, Bill King, stepped down and it seemed like there was no one who would take his place. “The whole program could have been axed,” said Steve. “And then, another teacher, Bill Stevens, who couldn’t skate at all, sacrificed his lunchtime to take us rink rats over to Phillips Academy to play.

He held onto the sides the whole time!” Steve attended Pike from first through eighth grade and then headed to the Fenn School in Concord, Mass., for one year as a five-day boarder. He spent his high school years at the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Conn., where Liza Waters’ father, Bill Olsen, was the Head of School. “I remember going to have tea at his house,” said Steve. “He was a well-respected head and a great guy.”

His journey back to Pike began in New England and then led him around the world. When he and Lisa moved back to Andover, he reached out to Pike classmate, Leslie Dumont ’70. Her daughters were well into their time at Pike and enjoying their experience. Steve knew Pike would be a good fit for his daughter too. “As a parent, I see how Pike has evolved along with the world,” said Steve. “I see how insightful and courageous the Head of School must be to adapt. It would be easy for the head to say, ‘we’ve always done it this way,’ but that’s not what Muddy Waters does at Pike.” When asked what he enjoys most about his work as a pilot, Steve said, “I love new places, new challenges, new routes in different aircrafts.” He went on to say, “I love bringing people together and connecting the dots.” Steve enjoys connecting the dots between his time at Pike and his daughter’s too.

FRANCESCA DEMEO ’98

A Bright Star

“I remember when I applied to Pike, they said that in 8th grade, all students received a TI 83 calculator and I thought, ‘I’m sold,’” said Francesca DeMeo ’98. Today, she is an astrophysicist working at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.

T he difference between her work and other scientists’ work has to do with the process itself. “Most scientists

set up an experiment, test the results, and analyze the data,” said Francesca. “In my case, we’re working backwards. Astrophysicists are trying to figure out what the experiment was; what nature already did, by picking up the pieces.”

DeMeo’s specialty is studying asteroids, which she loves. “I am putting together a puzzle to understand where and when the asteroids formed in our solar system. Each asteroid is a piece of the puzzle,” said Francesca, and there are millions of them out there. DeMeo’s work involves using telescopes around the world to observe asteroids in space to learn their compositions. The best viewing locations are in remote areas, particularly in the desert and on top of mountains where the air is dry and you’re above the clouds. “There are telescopes in Chile that I’ve been to often,” said Francesca. “I also use one in Hawaii but we can operate it remotely over the internet so I’ve only been there one time.” Every once in a while, a small asteroid hits the earth, and scientists from around the world scramble to get a piece of it. “It’s a first-come-first-serve policy,” said Francesca. “The best places for asteroids to land are either in the desert or in a snow-covered landscape like Antarctica because the dark meteorites can be seen very easily. Studying the pieces of asteroids after they hit the ground is relatively easy and we can get

a lot more information from the laboratory compared to studying them while they’re orbiting the Sun.”

The difficulty lies in technology’s inability to keep up with the research. From a distance, she cannot study what’s inside because today’s instruments can’t reach that far. “We can only measure the surfaces of asteroids because our instruments measure light reflected off of the exterior,” said Francesca. “NASA is proposing a project that would enable us to go and get a piece of an asteroid and bring it back to Earth for research,” said Francesca. While she works with a group of scientists who research matter outside the solar system, particularly exoplanets (planets around other stars), she is the only one focused on matter within it. Her current research is studying what asteroids are made up of. “They’ve got such potential in terms of resources,” said Francesca.

DeMeo came to Pike as a new 6th grader who was eager for a challenge. She grew up in Peabody, MA, attended public schools there and remained there during her three years at Pike. For as long as she can remember, she has always loved astronomy. “Whenever there was a report to do in elementary school, I always wanted to do it on the stars or the planets or something like that.” She loved her time at Pike and remembers her teachers fondly. “I could probably tell you a story about each one,” said Francesca. “I remember Mr. Lynch

and how he always had a copy of the Constitution in his breast pocket. He used to pull it out and quote from it when something related came up. Looking back, it makes sense. When teaching adolescents, you need to have a quirky prop; a gimic.”

She graduated from Pike and headed to Governor’s Academy. “I loved it there,” said Francesca. Today, she serves on the Board of Trustees at Governor’s, and was recently elected to the position of Secretary. “It’s really interesting,” said Francesca. “I’m learning so much about how schools work.” From Governor’s, she went on to M.I.T. to study planetary science. “People used to say, ‘it’s so important to choose a major,’” said Francesca. “I wish they hadn’t said that. I wish they had said that you just need a degree because a most of your specialized training comes after college.”

She considers herself a social scientist; one who collaborates with other scientists in other fields, each with a unique perspective. “Every year, there’s a conference where scientists from all fields present their studies and findings,” said Francesca. “It’s great to have all the discoveries in once place.” DeMeo’s most recent finding was publishing a compositional map of the asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter. In a study of tens of thousands of asteroids, her work showed a greater mixing of different types of asteroids than had previously been known, suggesting the solar system’s past had been more chaotic than we thought.

ALUMNI EVENTS GIVING BACK:

Julie (Petralia) Derderian ’95 and Christian Derderian ’93

We both have fond memories of our Pike School experiences. At times walking through the hallway, playground, classrooms, dining hall, or gym can almost immediately bring us back to memories of childhood friends, learning experiences, and fun. It’s really exciting to be able to send Abigail to the school that we love and means so much to us. The words in the Pike mission ring true to us, and we believe continue to embody the purpose of the school. “Pike School seeks to develop within its community a life-long love of learning, respect for others, the joy of physical activity, and a creative spirit. A Pike education is a journey that prepares students to be independent learners and responsible citizens.” We appreciate that Abby attends a school where the love of learning is celebrated and highly valued. She’s expected to actively engage in her learning, work hard, ask questions, think creatively, and take risks. We love that Pike believes children develop best when there is an active and willing partnership between school and family.

While the tuition alone is a big financial commitment, it does not cover all of the annual costs of educating students. Pike, like all independent schools, relies heavily on tax-deductible contributions every year to close the gap between tuition income and the actual cost of operating the school. We have a conversation every year about where and how we want to give back. We receive requests from schools we attended, teams we participated on, local charities, and social issues we feel passionate about. They are all important. However, our philanthropic philosophy is pretty simple. We give our time and financial resources to organizations that have had a direct and meaningful impact on our life. “To whom much is given, much is expected.” We give to Pike every year to ensure the qualities we valued most about our Pike education continue to thrive for current and future Pike students... a dedicated, well-trained faculty, high academic standards, and individual attention to student learning. Contributing to the annual fund is one way of giving back to a community that we are proud to be part of, both as alumni and parents.

JULIEOne of the things I remember most about Pike is the passion and commitment to teaching and learning. Pike was (and continues to be) a school where expectations are extremely high, which also values personalization, caring, and support. The connections that teachers and students make in small group settings where children are simultaneously challenged and supported on their learning journey is why I believe Pike is able to provide the best education for every child. Pike is the type of place where it was cool to create a program on the TI-82 calculator that made graphing equations more simple. It was a place where a shy new student could step up and take a leadership role on the project adventure ropes course. It was the place where your homework assignment would seem so daunting, and yet when you broke it down, you’d realize you had been given the tools to be successful. (All true stories).

CHRISTIANMy parents were very involved at Pike when my sisters Bethany and Alison and I attended (70’s-90’s), my dad on the Board and my mom on the Parents Association. My parents were always very generous with their time and resources, especially in places, like Pike, where they felt like it was put to good use. This is something they modeled and Julie and I also value. When I think about my parents’ involvement, it was all in an effort to build community. My mom would often host get-togethers at our house. She started the Spaghetti Supper. While the events have evolved over the years, the value remains the same. It’s about deepening the connection families have with each other and also with the school.
