In his own words: Bill Hayes ’36 tells of his amazing lifeEighty-nine year old alumnus O. William “Bill” Hayes, Class of 1936, has logged many miles and chalked up a myriad of experiences in the 71 years since he graduated from Coe-Brown. At the urging of his granddaughter, he decided to chronicle his life in a booklet entitled, My World. Portions of the booklet appear below, along with excerpts from a letter that Bill recently sent to Coe-Brown.

“I was born in New York City and at the age of 12 we moved to a small farm in Barrington, New Hampshire, where I graduated from a one-room school that included 26 students and one teacher. From there I graduated from Coe-Brown Northwood Academy in 1936 where I had been president of the Junior Class, president of the Student Council and captain of both the baseball and basketball teams.

“Immediately following graduation I became affiliated with the New York Yankees organization. Although I was

far from being the quality of an established major league baseball player, a New York Yankees scout took me under his guidance and had me report to the Yankees train-ing camp in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1937. Over those years I spent a year in Class D, one in Class C, three in Class B, one in Class A and two in AAA, plus employ-ment as a major league player scout. In 1947 I was voted a full players share of the Junior World Series money when the Milwaukee Brewers won it in seven games.

“After injuring my shoulder in baseball in 1940, I ran for and was elected as the youngest member, age 22, to the New Hampshire General Court (the state legislature) and was appointed to the Ways and Means Committee where I served until enlisting in World War II. I resigned from the New Hampshire House and was assigned as a private in an anti-aircraft battalion serving at Fort Bliss,

This CBNA sportsmanship trophy is named for O. William Hayes and Bill Hayes was the first recipient in 1935.

A Career Highlight:“The highlight of my career was in 1951 when the national baseball publication, The Sporting News, placed my picture on the cover with other honorees. I was named over 500 others as a Minor League Executive of the Year. An amus-ing anecdote about this is the fact that I had not been notified of my selection and had stopped between cities at a coffee shop and saw the front page on a newsstand.”

Texas, and Camp Carson, Colorado, before being transferred to another unit at Fort Bliss. I was promoted to corporal and then sergeant by a superb commanding officer who had my orders processed and enabled me to go to Officers Candidate School in Miami Beach. I made second lieutenant and worked my way up over the next three years, leaving the service in March, 1946, as an Army Air Corps captain.

“Living in Texas in 1950, I was greatly disturbed by the iron-clad grip of a one-party state. In 1951, with the blessing of my employer, Continental Belton Manufacturing Company, I decid-ed I would run for the powerful position of lieutenant governor of Texas. Having had previous legislative experience, I announced my candidacy. I started a vigorous 14 months of campaigning for the 1952 general election via the Republican primary in May. A group of wealthy men centered in Dallas and Houston decided to name their own candidate, a well-qualified attorney who they presumed could easily defeat an unknown and underfinanced candidate who was not a native Texan. The hierarchy or the party nearly went into shock when they woke up right after pri-mary night to find that Bill Hayes was their nominee.

“We all lost in the November election but one of the high-lights of my entire life was when I was called to Austin for a los-ers’ press conference. As the door opened, the members of the press corps, all Democrats, stood up. ‘We all voted for you, Bill, and we hope you will run again.’ I was speechless, unlike me, and will never forget that rewarding event.

“I spent 1954 until 1968 as vice president of three corpora-tions. I also became a speaker for a myriad of causes and events, totaling over 500 appearances. In 1968, we moved to Amarillo, Texas, where my wife Ann and I started an agency, Incentive Advertising, a consulting firm and speakers bureau. My only son, Kemp William Hayes, lives in Leesburg, Florida and my daughters, Susan Bray, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, Christina Chambers, in New York City, Kerry Matthews, in Waco, Texas, and Celeste High, in Amarillo. I also have seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.”

Bill HayesCoe-Brown memories

“On my 18th birthday, March 31, 1936, I arrived at school and an assembly was called. All 88 students, three teach-ers and our fine principal, Mr. Lord, were present. I couldn’t believe it was a surprise birthday greeting for me and in those tough depression days everyone present had chipped in a dime apiece and bought me a gift. It was a lamp with an elephant for its base as they knew I was president of the regional Young Republicans Club. I still have it today and took it back to our 45th alumni reunion to show it to them. What wonderful people. I also have had a note from my English teacher, Paul Sykes. He is still living and keeps in touch several times a year.

“I am the only male living from the Class of 1936. The others are all ‘girls’: Elizabeth Doe (now Jaderborg), Rowena Newell (now Walsh) and Helen Marison. We four keep in close touch. I chose to attend Coe’s and have never regretted it. I guess I ended up somewhere in the middle of our class of 20 and felt honored that I was selected to give part of the graduating seniors commencement day program. That and every phase of my four years there has stood me in good stead for all of my years.”

Thank you, Mr. Hayes, for sharing your remarkable story!

Seth Capron, a Nottingham native and 1998 graduate of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, is one of four co-founders of a Houston-based non-profit organization called Workshop Houston. The non-profit offers creative and enriching activi-ties for youth through five shops that provide artistic, technical and academic resources: the Chopper Shop (welding and metal fabrication), the Beat Shop (hip-hop music production), the Style Shop (fashion design), the Third Ward Bike Shop (do-it-yourself bike repair), and the Homework Shop (academic tutoring).

Seth graduated from Oberlin College in 2002 with a degree in environmental studies and a focus on urban studies. Before starting Workshop Houston, Seth worked as a mechan-ic and manager in a number of bike shops around the country. He has also designed and taught youth and adult courses in bike repair, land use and ecology and worked as an elementary school math and reading tutor.

Visions editor Margaret Joyce posed a few questions to Seth recently to learn more about his life after CBNA and how his years at the Academy helped shaped his current lifestyle.

How did you end up in Houston?One of my good friends who I had worked with on a

number of collaborative projects in college, Zach Moser, was from Houston. He had nothing but good things to say about the city and really encouraged me to check it out for myself. I eventually had an opportunity to drive through town, and found it to be a pretty interesting place.

A year later, Zach received a grant to start the initial proj-ect, a bike shop, based on ideas that we had all been kicking around for years. Four of us decided to see how far we could stretch the seed grant money and moved to Houston together.

It seemed like a good place for the project, because it was an urban environment where bicycles really are an effective means of transporting yourself, but one where it wasn’t that common for people to do so. The mild winters also seemed like a plus.

How did you choose Oberlin College?I first was attracted to Oberlin because they seemed to

have a good balance of strong, traditional education with some innovative and unusual options (such as the experimental col-lege, in which students can apply to teach courses for college credit). It also was well known for its music program. I did not feel ready to major in music, but I was really excited to spend

time in a place full of musicians, which Oberlin certainly was.Madame Tripp, my CBNA French teacher, was another

person who really influenced my choice of college. She had actually attended Oberlin and really encouraged me to look into it, saying that it was a place where students really cared a lot about learning and were passionate about what they did.

After visiting a number of schools, that was what really sealed the deal for me. More than anywhere else, at Oberlin I met a lot of people who were really passionate about some-thing. It could be geology or politics or music or anything, but everyone who I met there seemed really engaged in what they were doing and excited about it.

Did your educational experience at Coe-Brown contribute to your desire to work in the non-profit/human services sector?

It’s hard to say exactly what drove me into the non-profit sector. I think more than a desire to be doing non-profit work, I wanted to be self-employed. Some of my most rewarding experiences in both college and high school were self directed, such as an independent study course in music composition that I completed with Mr. McCormick, or other classes where I was allowed to make movies and other creative projects rather than simply writing papers. The things that I remember learning the most from in high school were the projects.

Mr. Young in the chemistry department had a particularly exciting blend of science and projects, and I also enjoyed the combined history/chemistry of a chemical compound project.

After going to college, I was also struck with how success-ful CBNA is as a place that really encourages everyone to go to college. A lot of people don’t have that encouragement to move on to a place where you can really grow and learn a lot more, and I was excited for the opportunity to work towards creating that for others.

Any plans to expand the Houston project to other cities?

Not yet, although we’ve had a lot of people ask the same question. I think that a lot of what has made this project suc-cessful has been to have a lot of flexibility that comes from being small. We’re able to respond to the needs and interests of our participants and to give them a lot of individual atten-tion. That’s really the key to what we do. At some point I think that we’d like to publish some information about what we’ve found to be the keys to the success of our programs with the hope that other people could learn from our experi-

Page 7: VISIONS - Coe-Brown Northwood AcademyVisions is published twice a year for the alumni, parents and friends of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. ON THE COVER: Headmaster David S. Smith (seated

Visions — Spring 2007 5

ences, but managing a wide network of programs doesn’t really seem all that fun.

Any plans to change careers or explore other job opportunities?

Eventually, yes, but I’m pretty committed to this for the time being. We still have a lot of exciting projects on the hori-zon, including reopening the Beat Shop with a full recording studio. Ask me again in three or four years.

Do you keep in touch with any of your Coe-Brown classmates?

Yes, although not as much as I did at first. I’m in pretty regular contact with my two best friends, Sean White and Nick Jenisch, but other people I only see once in a while. I got together with a bunch of people a few years back, including Ryan Bartosewicz and Emily Liskow—that was a lot of fun. Coe-Brown is a small enough school that I really feel like I knew most of the people who were around at the same time

that I was, and at this point I would be excited to see what people are up to.

Were there any particular teachers, administrators or classes at Coe-Brown that had a strong impact on you?

Yes, definitely. I think that I was kind of a punk kid at that age and probably didn’t learn anywhere near as much as I could have, but there were still a lot of people who made a big impression on me. I would have to say that the biggest influence was Bruce McCormick, who really stressed the importance of taking pride in whatever you do and making a commitment to do your best. Madame Tripp was a lot of fun and was the kind of teacher who I wanted to be, if I wound up being a teacher. And Mr. Young was always the kind of crazy scientist who secretly runs the town. Again, that’s who I would want to emulate, if I ended up as a science teacher.

Stormy weather: CBNA students explore meteorology in a new course offering

Mark Twain once said, “If you don’t like the weather in New England, wait a minute.”

Depending on your perspective, New England has been blessed—or cursed—with constantly changing weather pat-terns. And that suits Coe-Brown Northwood Academy sci-ence teacher Jill Forward just fine. Last fall, Mrs. Forward added an elective meteorology class, New England Weather and Climate, to CBNA’s science curriculum, and she has yet to find herself without a variety of intriguing weather-related topics to challenge and stimulate her students.

An 11-year veteran at CBNA, Mrs. Forward focused on earth science while earning her teaching degree at the University of New Hampshire, but squeezed in additional meteorology coursework whenever she could. “I have always been fascinated by weather and have found that many CBNA students share this interest,” says Mrs. Forward. But until the new science building was constructed, there just wasn’t enough classroom space to introduce a new elective course.

Once the science building became a reality, Mrs. Forward submitted a proposal for the meteorology class to the depart-ment head and dean, outlining why offering this course would benefit the students. She’s had to develop her own curriculum and identify appropriate classroom tools and texts. A weather

station is mounted to the top of the science building and the receiver is located in Mrs. Forward’s classroom. Part of the students’ responsibility is to post the daily weather on a board outside the classroom door. “Eventually I’d like to be able to have the students broadcast the weather on a daily basis to the rest of the school,” says Mrs. Forward. “The students would forecast the weather themselves and they would be accountable for the accuracy of their forecasts.”

In the meantime, students study various aspects of weather including temperature, air pressure and wind. They learn about weather phenomena such as tornados and nor’easters and their causes. Topics such as hurricanes Katrina and Rita and global climate change (also referred to as global warming) generate ques-tions and enthusiastic discussions in the class. “Severe weather is definitely their favorite,” Mrs. Forward says of her students.

Technology is an important part of the curriculum: Students learn about dopplar radar and infrared satellites, two instruments used for predicting and forecasting weather, and they compare the strengths and weaknesses of each. She also requires the students to make their own weather instruments, calibrate them, obtain daily measurements and measure those against professional weather readouts, calculating their percent of error.

One of the students in the class is a pilot and is required to learn about weather. “This led us to introduce meteograms to the class,” says Mrs. Forward. “These reports are produced by airports through-out the country over a 24-hour period and provide data on just about every measurable aspect of weather. Because these meteograms predict what is going to occur, they are a valuable tool for pilots.”

Thanks to a generous donation of an LCD projector by The Weather Channel, Mrs. Forward can log in to various weather-related web sites and view them together with her students. She hopes one day to participate in GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment), a worldwide hands-on, primary- and secondary school-based education and science program. GLOBE-trained and certified teachers and their students have contributed more than 16 million measurements to the GLOBE data base for use in their inquiry-based science projects.

Another integral part of the course is a field trip to New Hampshire’s Mount Washington, the highest point in the Northeast and home to the world’s worst weather. Six out of her 15

CBNA meteorology students brave the weather atop Mt. Washington.

Visions — Spring 2007 7

meteorology students were able to accompany Mrs. Forward on what she describes as “the most incredible day of my teaching career.”

“We had a tour of the Mt. Washington Weather Observatory as well as a meeting with a meteorologist. This experi-ence really brought to life the concepts we were learning in the classroom on a daily basis.”

In order to enroll in the meteorology class, stu-dents must have completed Introduction to Science and Biology. Chelsey Blake, a CBNA junior, enrolled in the class because she is inter-ested in tornadoes and hur-ricanes, having lived through quite a few of them: “I live in Northwood now, but I lived half my life down south—Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, Arkansas and Oklahoma—where tornadoes are a pretty common occurrence. This class is a

lot of fun and I’m learning a lot about severe weather!”CBNA senior Catherine Adams will major in meteorology

at Plymouth State University next year. “It’s something I’ve been interested in since I was a little kid,” she says.

Ms. Forward plans to con-tinue offering the meteorol-ogy class at Coe-Brown and believes it will only get better. “Since this was my first time teaching the course, I was learning right along with the students. I hope to expand the curriculum over time and incorporate new technology as it develops. Fortunately, when it comes to weather, there’s always something to talk about!”

Tracking and predicting weather is an integral part of Mrs. Forward’s meteorology class.

As New Hampshire’s oldest FFA chap-ter, Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s Much-To-Do chapter continues its long tradition of providing successful leadership and vocational training to students at the school. In response, the student members continue to show their commitment to excellence and pride in wearing the offi-cial blue jacket and gold emblem of the FFA. This was clearly evident at the recent three-day Granite State Convention held at the Mount Washington Hotel®. It was an impressive sight, seeing a sea of blue jackets and gold emblems literally fill the Grand Ballroom at the Mount Washington Hotel every day where state FFA officers—all students—planned and ran truly professional award ceremonies each day. Accompanied by the rousing cry of “Blue Jackets, Gold Standard” the many chapters came together to recognize out-standing individuals in a variety of award categories, and the winners in Career Development Events. As a result of their hard work and dedication, the Much-To-Do Chapter members were frequently being called to the podium in virtually all areas.

In the various awards categories, students are divided into different levels based on their number of years of in the FFA. First year members compete in the “Greenhand” category and freshman Marlee Richardson of Strafford placed first in the state for managing her sheep herd. Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) awards are given at the second-year level and CBNA had two placements. Sophomore Devon Farr of Northwood took first in the state with her project, owning and caring for her Devon steers and cows. Sophomore Rhiannon Egan of Northwood placed first in the state working in indi-vidual landscaping.

Third year students participate in Proficiency Awards that focus on a specific area of agriculture. Six CBNA students received recognition for proficiency in their projects. The fol-lowing three students placed first in this category, which means their project application will go on to national-level competition

in the fall. In Landscape Management-Entrepreneurship, Justin Wood has owned his business all four years of high school, put-ting a great deal of hours in over the summer and after school in the spring and fall. He has also held a job working for a local irrigation company. Junior Andrew Bascom of Nottingham has shown tremendous care and thought about his sheep herd. He has increased his flock keeping good records of their per-formance. Lastly, Kipp Franklin worked with his father and grandfather helping manage his grandfather’s tree farm. At his grandfather’s tree farm, Kipp has learned to use the family saw-mill which has produced wood for a variety of projects includ-ing a bob house that Kipp used for his Senior Portfolio Project. Three other students received runner-up recognition including Sophomore Tim Comtois of Northwood for Environmental Science/Natural Resource Management; Senior Tim Fredette of Strafford for Small Engines Repair and Maintenance; and Sophomore Shepherd Porcella of Northwood for Forestry Management.

Students who have been involved for four or more years are eligible for the state degree. To receive a state degree, students must have invested $1,000 and/or put 300 or more hours into

Page 11: VISIONS - Coe-Brown Northwood AcademyVisions is published twice a year for the alumni, parents and friends of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy. ON THE COVER: Headmaster David S. Smith (seated

their projects, completed a minimum of two years of agricul-ture instruction and participated in a minimum of five state or national activities. Applications in this category are sent on to Eastern States Exposition and compete with students from the 16 northeastern states for recognition. Six CBNA seniors from the chapter were award-ed their state degrees at convention including Nathan Bronnenberg, Kipp Franklin, Tim Fredette, Allan Grondin and Derek Kelley, all of Strafford, and Justin Wood of Northwood.

The FFA state organization also has several awards recognizing spe-cial achievement, improvement and involvement in the organi-zation. The first is given to an outstanding chapter officer and a member who has shown the greatest improvement during his or her involvement in FFA. This year Nathan Bronnenberg was nominated by his classmates, advisors and administrators, as well as members of community for his excellent work as chapter president. This year the state FFA organization gave out the Martin Mitchell Award for great improve-ment by a student to Kipp Franklin. In addition, alumnus Nicole Verville ’04 received the State Alumni Scholarship for her continued involvement in FFA. Nicole, a resident of Barnstead, is currently attending the University of New Hampshire and is actively involved with FFA at the collegiate level.

Students also par-ticipated in a variety of Career Development Events at State Convention. Career Development Events are competitions that challenge students in areas related to subjects taught in the classroom. In Novice Demonstration, where students are expected to explain how to do something in this category and answer questions about the procedure, Dalton Flannery of Deerfield placed fourth. In Impromptu Speaking, Experienced Division, Devon Farr of Northwood placed first in the state. Devon picked a topic, sight unseen, and had one minute to prepare a

speech. In the Agriscience Fair, Katelyn Snell placed fourth in the Plant Science Division. The Dairy Foods team of

Meaghan Savioli, Strafford; Casey Cummings, Deerfield; Rhiannon Egan; and Marlee Richardson evaluated the quality of milk, milk-related products and dairy equip-ment and placed fourth in the state. The Environmental Science/Natural Resources team of Matthew Papparlardo, Deerfield; Tim Fredette; Spencer Hardwick, Northwood; and Tim Comtois placed fourth overall

with Tim Comtois placing fourth in the state individually.Lastly, the Connor Memorial Award is presented to a

teacher who is nominated by his or her students, adminis-trators and others and then voted upon by a peer group of agriculture teachers from across the state. As a teacher of Agricultural Science, the instructor is required to be pro-ficient in not only the art of teaching but also in the many

and varied skills of agriculture. This requires experience and knowledge in ani-mal science, forestry, natural resources and horticulture. In addi-tion, the instructor must develop and maintain an active leadership organiza-tion—the FFA. Mrs. Sarah Ward ’83 was this year’s recipient of the Connor Memorial Award for excellence

Other attendees who played an important

part at convention were juniors Kristy Joy and Casondra Corson, both of Northwood, who were the chapter del-egates; and junior Alison Kester of Strafford who served as a Courtesy Corps representative. Mr. Charles Whitten, CBNA FFA advisor, attended and helped with organization and planning. Other students attending were Deanna Cook, Rachel Grober, Dan Cady, Daniel McBride, Taylor Ashford, Dana Crickard, and Christopher Thomson.

Coe-Brown Northwood Academy can be justifiably proud to be

represented at the local, state, regional and national level by

the members of the FFA Much-To-Do chapter. They truly

illustrate the FFA slogan “Blue Jackets, Gold Standard!”

Class of 1948Elizabeth “Betty” Young Geers, Class Agent 19 Mooreland Ave., Concord, New Hampshire 03301; Telephone: 603-225-6998.

George and Beryl Clark, Arthur and Margery Heath ’53 Nutter, Bob Carr and Betty Young Geers represented the Class of ’48 at the Alumni reunion. The reunion was held in the beautiful new Dining Center. What a gorgeous view of Harvey Lake!

We are sad to report the death of one of our classmates in December, Virginia Neilsen Chalbeck. Bob Carr and Betty Young Geers attended the service in Suncook. Romayne Milligan Jackson is well and plans to see us in June. Gor-don Fogg still leads a very busy life and enjoys his trips to Washington, D.C., to visit his family. Jean Frost Emerson is recuperating at home after another trip to the hospital. In early February, George ’45 and I were having breakfast at Bradford Junction and saw a familiar smile. Ex-Fire Chief George Clark was in Bradford (still on Fire Department business). We had a short enjoyable visit. Marion Mifflin Williams, Joy Campbell Kimball ’47 and Betty Young Geers still enjoy getting together and reminiscing about old times at CBNA.

The Class of ’48 donated a tile for the Dining Center wall. We all agree that we enjoy the Visions Magazine. See you in June.

Class of 1956F. Anne Witham Kustron, Class Agent - 318 Webber Rd., Waterboro, ME 04061; Telephone: 207-247-3314; E-mail: [email protected]

Our 1956 Class Reunion is now history—50 years since we graduated from Coe-Brown. It seems unbe-lievable that so many years have gone by. I must say that our Class was very well represented. Our gradu-ating class had 19 members; four are now deceased and five were unable to attend. We had a wonderful evening at the Alumni Banquet where 10 of us were present. It was fun meeting everyone again after so many years. The next morning 10 of us met for brunch at Chadbourn’s Restau-rant. It was really nice getting reacquainted and now several of us are staying in touch with each other.

Those attending the Alumni Banquet were Edward “Spike” Bryant, Albert Burtt, Gloria Twombly Colpritt, Barbara DeMeritt Gray, Anne Witham Kus-tron, Robert “Rocky” Magoon, Lorraine DeButts O’Neal, Barbara Corbett Thompson, Robert Wentworth and Shirley Young.

Barbara Gray won the award for traveling the farthest, all the way from Los Altos, California. I am sure Barbara Thompson was very close to that award also. She traveled up from Macon, Georgia, for the reunion. Raffle prizes were won by Shirley Young, Barbara Gray, and Anne Kustron. The following morning 10 of us again joined together and went to Chadbourn’s Restaurant for brunch. Albert Burtt was not able to come, but we had the pleasure of Reta Shepard White’s company that day. Our class voted to donate two tiles for the Dining Center’s “Wall of Remembrance.” One tile is a commemora-tive tile honoring the memory of four deceased members of our class: Doris Holmes Anderson, B. James Corbin, John W. O’Connor, and Virginia Wood Kelley. The second tile reads “From Dreams to Reality,” Class of 1956. At the end of breakfast everyone gave an update on themselves and we all exchanged addresses to be able to stay in touch. We are all very hopeful that this can now become an annual event and to be able to see each other more often.

Also at the brunch an invitation was made to everyone to try and come to John and Anne Kustron’s home in No. Waterboro, Maine, for a cookout and a boat ride on Sunday, July 23. Six members of the Class of 1956 came and once

again enjoyed getting together and becoming better acquainted.

up). After she and Gene sold Casco Bay College, they retired to Northwood. Her Coe-Brown connections are still close. She and Gene attend all the girls’ and boys’ home basketball games, and she enjoys being a trustee of CBNA.

Joyce Brown Thistle lives at Horseshoe Pond in an elderly complex in Concord. She is retired.

Gail Hoadley Towle and her husband Jim live in Chichester. When asked what she is doing now, she wrote: “As a homemaker you never really retire, but my life changed after close to 50 years of marriage. Now we are not only parents, but grandparents, and even great-grandparents. But we are not too old to continue riding around the country on our Harley-Davidson! We are members of the Christian Motorcyclists Association and have a ministry to bikers. We also have a Bible study in our home. Among other things, I am an active member of the Chichester Historical Society.”

Robert White lives in Epsom, is “retired and serving the Lord.”

George W. Witham lives in Deerfield and is retired.

Mildred Pectle Wolak lives in Woodside, New York. She baby sits her one-year-old granddaughter, plays poker and shuffleboard. She also loves to do needlepoint, bead in a group to make jewelry, and plays bingo at a senior citizens’ center. On weekends she goes to the movies, goes out to eat, or goes to parties.

12 Visions — Spring 2007

If these walls could talk:

Congratulations to CBNA sophomore Jihyon hyon Im, who became an American citizen on February 16, 2007. An honor roll student, Ji is also a member of CBNA’s tennis team. She and her brother, Seong hyon Im (who will be a freshman at CBNA next fall), came to the United States from South Korea two years ago.

Academic Achievements

Five CBNA students, Sarah Bujno, Zoe Hendrickson,

Devon Hermenau, Gary Hoover and Brendan McCann, were named Commended Students in the 2007 National Merit Scholar-ship Program.

With their calculators ready and wearing their new team jackets, the Coe-Brown Math Team arrived at Plymouth State University in April for the State Math Meet. In the Southeastern Math League, the team proudly finished third. At the State Math Meet, the Coe-Brown team finished 12th out of 32 teams in Class I. The team practices two to three times a month, completing packets prepared by their coach, CBNA math teacher Diana Foster.

Excellence in the Arts

The CBNA Art Department is pleased to announce several CBNA students and their artworks were published in The 2006 Annual Report for the Town of Northwood. Adriane Moreno’s black and white photograph entitled Winding Road was selected as the cover from all submissions entered through Mr. Chatfield’s and Mr. Unrein’s Basic Art and photography classes. This year’s theme was “Main Streets and Back Roads.” Additional works were chosen for inclusion within the report as the town “feels it greatly contributes to the visual appeal while presenting an opportunity to showcase the talented young artists in our community.” Congratulations to all students who participated.

CBNA extends congratulations to senior Kaitlyn Cecchetti of Strafford, whose artwork was selected to represent her congres-sional district in Washington. Her white charcoal drawing entitled “To Have a Novel Life” will hang in the tunnel connect-ing the Congressional and Senate buildings with the Capitol for the next year.

CBNA student newsSix students from Coe-Brown were chosen to represent Coe-Brown Northwood Academy in the 26th Annual Congressional Art Competi-tion sponsored by Representative Carol Shea-Porter, First Congressional District. On average, 26,000 high school students nationwide are involved in the contest annually. One student is selected from each participating congressional district across the United States.

Kaitlyn submitted her white charcoal drawing entitled “To Have a Novel Life,” a beautifully rendered image of her own hand writing in a journal, with 3 classic novels placed in the background. Kaitlyn Cecchetti received first place honors which includes two roundtrip airfares from Southwest Airlines to attend the national reception in Washington, DC, in June.

Five other works of art by CBNA students—Ivy Gooch, Kaci Hoey, Laura Masten, Courtney Tuck and Kristopher Wojitusik—were sub-mitted for the competition. Laura Masten was awarded a New Hampshire Institute of Art Summer Scholarship for her piece entitled “Clown Face.”

World Language Masters

CBNA senior Zoe Hendrickson competed in the Concours Oratoire Français Marcel Bourque (Marcel Bourque French Speech Contest) at the Pembroke Public Library in March. Each student in the contest was asked to choose a French-speaking region of the world and tell why you would like to go there. Zoe wrote and presented her speech about Mali. Although she was not the winner of the competition, she represented Coe-Brown very well, and was awarded a certificate of participation and a $25 cash prize.

Coe-Brown Northwood Academy would like to congratulate the students in Mrs. Green’s Latin classes who took the National Latin Exam in March. In total, 134,000 students from all 50 states and 13 foreign countries completed the exam. The following students received awards for their outstanding performances:
