Mission John Bapst Memorial High School is an academically challenging, independent, college-preparatory school fostering in students a respect for learning, for themselves, and for others.
Motto Integrity | Achievement | Respect
From the Head of School Cook’s Tour of the Round Table The 2013-14 school year marks John Bapst’s 86th year. Much of what made the school a special place in the early days, when it began preparing students for a competitive world and taking seriously its role in strong character development, is still here. As you read this latest issue, I hope you’ll get a sense of that sustained focus. We continue to have great teachers and thought it might be fun to ask a few of them about their favorite books. You’ll see that article on page 17. English Department chair John Emerson’s list brought me back to a day in 1980, at the downtown library in Nashville, Tennessee. By accident I came across a book called The Dominie Books of A.S. Neill, the autobiographical tales of a Scottish one-room schoolhouse “dominie,” or teacher. That book is the reason I’m writing this piece today. With its traditions in mind, along with a commitment to the future, John Bapst’s trustees, under the leadership of then board chair Jim Settele and committee chair Kevin Carr, began a strategic planning process in 2012. You’ll read about that effort and the plan that resulted on page 6.

Having surveyed alumni, students, parents, and friends to learn their thoughts about John Bapst as part of the strategic planning process, we know that the school’s clear sense of community is one of its greatest strengths. Believing parents have always been and continue to be at the core of our community—supporting student growth and shaping our distinctive culture—we feature their work in an article about our indispensable boosters organizations (page 12). I hope you will enjoy learning more about our students, our teachers, our community, and our spirit in these pages.

John Bapst Sets Its Str ategic Sights on the Future by Mary Budd
I
n June 2013, the John Bapst Board of Trustees adopted a five-year strategic plan to guide the school’s development and build on its historic strengths. Organized around three key areas—teaching and learning, community, and sustainability—the plan defines overarching goals and specific strategies for achievement, as follows:
Reinforce, improve, and differentiate the already strong teaching and learning experiences at John Bapst.
Invest in and improve teaching quality.
Improve and differentiate the curriculum.
Reinvigorate and strengthen the John Bapst community, reinforce the commitment to athletics and fine arts, and promote individual student growth.
Increase opportunities for students, staff, parents, and alumni to gather and facilitate a greater sense of community and school spirit.
Improve John Bapst’s hallmark co-curricular programs.
Enhance student safety, security, and wellness, and improve communication with parents.
Ensure John Bapst’s long-term financial and operational sustainability.
Strengthen enrollment and retention.
Launch and successfully capital campaign.
Implement budget practices and financial controls that improve John Bapst’s business position.

The strategic plan represents the culmination of more than a year of surveys, studies, and in-depth discussions. To drive this intensive process, the board appointed a Strategic Planning Steering Committee representative of the school’s major stakeholders and engaged Kathryn Hunt of Starboard Leadership Consulting as facilitator. With the implementation phase now underway, six members of the committee sat with me recently to describe the experience and share their hopes for the future. Present were David Armistead, principal and academic dean; Jennifer Babcock, teacher and former coach; Adrienne Carmack, trustee and parent; Lisa Leonard, trustee and parent; Mel MacKay, head of school; and Matthew Skaves ’99, trustee. Following are excerpts from the discussion.
Budd: Congratulations – strategic planning is an enor-
mous undertaking and you did it. How did you come together as a group, why now, and what motivated you personally to commit the time and energy necessary to lead the process?
MacKay: Strong organizations think and act strategically, and a formal plan is an important tool. This plan is the first board-adopted strategic plan in a decade. We knew it was time to tackle the challenge.
The process started about two years ago. We began trying to figure out how we were going to do this and who could facilitate the effort. Kathy Hunt came highly recommended and she was great; she wanted to make sure that around the table we had people who were deeply invested and knowledgeable in different areas of the school.
Skaves: From the get-go, the framework for our thinking
was very much about John Bapst being a good school, a strong school. It’s working for the community, but how do we make it even better?

Carmack: In fact, the school started taking action
before the plan was even published. As the board and administration made discoveries through the strategic planning process, things started happening immediately, and improvements continue as we speak. We didn’t need to sit around and talk about some things. If an issue could be acted upon, that happened.
Skaves: From the outset, we had the mindset that
knowing what the school had been through with prior plans, we didn’t want to be at some impossible level. We wanted to make sure that the plan focused on initiatives Leonard: I have five children, three who have graduated we could do. There are things in there that are contingent from Bapst and two here now. I’ve seen a lot of changes.

We all agreed, however, that the old plan was fairly weak in technology, and we wanted to shine a light on that area.
Carmack: In addition to the school-based committees,
Babcock: In the last plan there were a lot of building plans, there was a library design, something on the roof. It looked and sounded too good to be true. The feeling I had was that we were waiting for some donor to come and make this magic happen. As a coach, I wanted more space, but the plans for new athletic facilities didn’t pan out.

ed directions. Have there been surprises?
Carmack: I think we put into writing what a lot of
people have thought we needed to do for a long time, so for me there haven’t been a lot of surprises. It’s been more a matter of taking things to the next level. With academics,
we don’t want to get complacent. Even with all the great accolades, we want to keep moving forward. Our goal was to figure out what we needed to do in order to do a better job, and we made that part of the plan.
Armistead: I was surprised by what transpired around
the issue of the ninth-grade curriculum. Between the time of the spring 2012 survey and the following fall, we had larger than normal ninth-grade attrition, so a part of the strategic plan was to address this problem by creating a distinctive ninth-grade curriculum. The surprise came this year when we experienced the exact opposite with ninth-grade enrollment. We overhauled Step-Up Day and changed the way we did middle school visits. It’s hard to know to what degree that affected everything, but I was expecting 100 ninth-graders and we got 137. As we’re implementing the plan, we’re continuing to discuss how much we need to change our ninth-grade curriculum and how much we need to focus on retention and community-building.
MacKay: In thinking back on the “ah-ha” moments of
the process, I would point to the committee’s evolution of thought concerning our athletic facilities. Around the table, the more we talked, the more we saw that it’s no small miracle that we turn out the kind of programs we do, given just how scattered everything is. Our baseball players play on some of the nicest fields high school athletes could ever play on; basketball is at the Cross Center. But our facilities are a mixed bag and the logistics are hard to manage. We talked our way toward a real sense that we’ve got to make improvements in this area.
C h a ir of t h e B oa r d B e n i ta D e sc h a in e on t h e S t r at egic P l a n : A strategic plan is a lot like a road map, helping us find our way to our destination. Bolstered by being ranked #1 in northern New England in 2012 by the Washington Post and given an “A” grade by the State of Maine in 2013, John Bapst began its strategic planning journey from a position of strength and confidence. To map out the school’s future, the members of the Strategic Planning Steering Committee, appointed by Board of Trustees chair Capt. Jim Settele in 2012, carefully considered John Bapst’s past. The committee listened to parents, students, alumni, faculty, and friends to identify those things that have contributed to the school’s success, defining it as a caring community that prepares its graduates to attend outstanding colleges and universities.
Skaves: I had my ah-ha moments looking at some of
John Bapst works hard to develop its students in two equally important ways. The first is to get students ready for a competitive new world that demands competency across traditional and new disciplines. The second is the importance John Bapst places on character development. Faculty inspire students to combine their hopes for personal achievement with a commitment to their community.
Budd: What fell off the table along those lines? What
Today our strategic plan is guiding the way to even greater things for John Bapst, and we are thankful for the efforts of so many people. My deep appreciation goes out to all who contributed their time and insights.

students eating over there. At the same time, here in the school, three or four hundred day students arrive early and hang out. The strategic planning discussion around the dining facility was essentially, “Can’t we have one facility that accommodates everybody and eliminates the divide, sort of like a student union?” We think so.
In the course of this strategic effort, the John Bapst Board of Trustees affirmed several key features of the school:
• John Bapst reaffirms its commitment to being a model of educational excellence for Greater Bangor area day students, the school’s primary constituency.
• John Bapst reaffirms its commitment to excellence
in boarding education for international and domestic students, keeping the proportion of boarding students within the range of 10-15% of total school population.
• John Bapst continues to commit to its historic building at 100 Broadway as its primary educational facility.
MacKay: A field house. It was in the plan from ten
years ago. It’s still a desire, but is it likely? We haven’t delved into the capital campaign work, but we don’t think we are positioned right now to raise $10-15 million for a major athletic complex. On the other hand, we have said to ourselves, “Let’s really start to think about a piece of land and not just wait for someone to give it to us.” If the right piece of land could be identified, we would be wise to pursue a reasonable plan for acquisition and development.
Budd: That’s exciting. What else do you think will especially excite parents, teachers, and the community?
Armistead: Starting with the class of 2015, students
The way most faculty are interacting with the strategic plan is through their work on subcommittees, and there seems to be a lot of teacher interest. On the effective teaching subcommittee, for example, the way they’re doing their research is encouraging teachers to observe each other and then report back to the committee. This practice has two benefits: one is all the information we’re getting about our teachers; the other is teachers talking to each other about pedagogy, which isn’t as common as it ought to be. What we’re hearing from teachers on the evaluation committee is not “Leave us alone—don’t evaluate us,” it’s thoughtful information on what constitutes effective evaluation, what our teachers feel they need from administrators and from each other in terms of mentoring and evaluation as time goes on. So I think what’s happening is a groundswell among teachers. It’s not going to be a sudden change, but if you talk to teachers in three years who’ve been here for ten, they’ll say it’s a different place.
Skaves: Bean-counters like me will be excited to know
that we’re now stress-testing the budget, which involves looking at variables like attrition rates and doing scenario analyses to help foresee and plan for changing circumstances and their impact on the school. In this way, if we’re confronted with a scenario, we can be quicker to react because we’ve already thought through the process. We hadn’t traditionally done that, but we started this past year as a result of the strategic planning work.
Budd: Parting thoughts?

With these targeted diplomas, Bapst students will be able to focus their studies the way college students do in selecting a major.
Skaves: Throughout the process, the board has appreci-
Implementing our international program was obviously a strategic initiative that preceded the strategic plan. The new plan addresses some of the challenges we’ve experienced in community-building and leveraging the strength in our growing diversity. For example, the dining facility for the international students is now St. John’s Episcopal Church behind the school. At 7:30 in the morning, there are typically twenty or so international

ated the high level of commitment Mel and the administrative team have shown. The plan would be collecting dust were it not for their enthusiastic buy-in and steady push forward. This team has done a fantastic job keeping up with it, and that’s so encouraging.
Babcock: From the faculty’s perspective, it’s nice to Carmack: As a parent, it feels good to know that this work is going to continue after my kids are gone. I want every kid to get out of John Bapst what mine have gotten. Our efforts to better this school, however we can, will make their college experience that much better.

Amanda Albert has seen the boosters’ value from two points of view. She graduated from John Bapst in 1989 and now has two sons at the school. “Our fundraising efforts have an enormous impact on the students and community,” said Albert. “The Fine Arts Boosters are able to assist an occasional student with the purchase of performance attire, provide funds for private lessons for aspiring musicians, and make significant purchases of musical equipment and instruments.” What Fine Arts Boosters describe as fun, most would likely view as hard work. Like Hockey Boosters, they meet monthly (on the second Tuesday at 6 p.m. sharp!).

John Bapst Welcomes New Development Director Candance Gifford With this issue of the Round Table we welcome Candance Gifford to the John Bapst Development Office. Alumni, parents, and friends of the school will meet Candy at events like the annual golf tournament and Sea Dog alumni reception, reunions, and homecoming. “John Bapst’s rich tradition of fostering success, coupled with their passion for educating today’s student, were important elements of my decision to join the Crusader family,” Candy commented for this magazine. “It is with great appreciation for my prior work at an independent school, melded with a real sense of just how vital relationships are to the overall mission and purpose of what we do, that I embark on this new journey as your Director of Development. ” The development director’s job is multifaceted. Working with Director of Communications Monique Bouchard and Development Office Associate Jennifer Tower, Candy has her sights set on carrying on a tradition of strong alumni relations and on creating opportunities for greater parent involvement.
as being involved in resurrecting the boarding program that had once figured so prominently in the school’s operations. As a Lee Academy alumna, Candy has watched with great pride as they evolved from a relatively isolated Maine town academy into a semiprivate boarding school serving students from twenty-two sending towns, twelve different states across the union and more than a dozen countries.
“That growth was so important in keeping Lee Academy’s role in the community alive,” said Candy. “We learned that a small-town Maine school could offer programs that benefited rural Maine students and international students alike, and our faculty, staff, and extended community were instrumental in fostering Before coming to John Bapst, Candy was director of that success. Here at John Bapst, that relationship development at Lee Academy in Lee, Maine. She wore between school and community is equally important many other hats as well over a thirteen-year span, and I feel very fortunate to be a part of that.” from college counselor to girls’ varsity basketball Help welcome Candy by stopping by and introcoach.

The John Bapst ReStore Connection
Seamus Higgins ’97, Yoshi Inokachi ’14, and Lynn Hempen at the Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore. 16
A couple days a week John Bapst senior Yoshi Inokachi walks down the street to Washington Plaza, where he volunteers at Habitat for Humanity of Greater Bangor’s ReStore. He is appreciated for his cheerful smile and work ethic. The ReStore accepts donations of new and reusable building supplies, which are sold to the public to help fund the next home that HFHGB will build for
a local low-income family. While Yoshi stocks goods downstairs, upstairs Habitat President of the Board Seamus Higgins ’97 is in a meeting. Higgins’ Bapst connection is multi-generational; Higginses have been at John Bapst since it opened in 1928. He is working to find ways to increase the number of houses that volunteers can build from one a year to two or more.
Key to this growth, as fate would have it, is a John Bapst graduate of a different sort: Executive Director Lynn Hempen, who served as John Bapst's development director until last November. We’re grateful for students like Yoshi who become graduates like Seamus, and wish Lynn all the best as she helps a worthy organization meet its goals.
FACULTY NOTES Favorite Faculty Reads John Emerson, Chair of the Department of English and a member of the John Bapst faculty for 27 years, spoke at this year’s fall convocation, encouraging students to “Play hard, play unrelentingly, and choose excellence.” What excellent books would he suggest they choose? Emerson listed his favorites: Don Quixote, Cervantes; King Lear, Shakespeare; Emma, Austen; Middlemarch; George Eliot; The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne; The Sound and the Fury, Faulkner; For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway; Beloved, Toni Morrison. We also looked to other faculty for their favorites. Mitch McCarthy, English teacher for 24 years recommends: Possession: A Romance, A.S. Byatt; A Soldier of the Great War, Mark Helprin; Atonement, Ian McEwan; White Teeth, Zadie Smith; Old School, Tobias Wolff; Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert Pirsig; A Star Called Henry, Roddy Doyle. Guidance Counselor Nick Umphrey: The China Study, a ground-breaking nutrition and health study. Along with the book, billed as “The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted,” Nick also recommends the film Forks Over Knives. “The information caused me to reevaluate my own lifestyle,” Nick writes.
Michael Murphy Publishes Debut Novel, StarNet: Enlightenment Michael Murphy, director of technology and advisor of the CyberDefense and Robotics Clubs, has finished his first novel, StarNet: Enlightenment, available for online purchase at LuLu.com. The 238-page novel is the first book in StarNet series which tracks the emergence of humankind from a Sol-bound species to a people spread across the stars. StarNet: Enlightenment is the story of a strange and poorly understood new technology transforming the world, industry by industry, which is poised to bring humankind to the stars. Amelia Gravis, a precocious mid-teen never able to take “It just works!” for an answer, will not accept the opinions of experts. Pushing the bar, she finds herself deeper and deeper in trouble as she refuses to be silenced. With the looming launch of a probe to the next star system, Amelia discovers that having the truth isn’t enough to get people to listen, especially when reputations and careers are on the line. The cover art for the novel was created by Melissa Smith ’13, now a student at the University of Maine.
Spanish teacher Betsy Hudson recommends Isabel Allende’s La casa de los espíritus (in English, The House of the Spirits) and Hermann Hesse’s last novel, Das Glasperlenspiel (The Glass Bead Game).
Dan O’Connell Maine’s Top Football Coach
From the Math Department, Sue Sheren writes, “The most recent books I have read which I recommend are Flat Water Tuesday by Ron Irwin, Heart of Palm by Laura Lee Smith, and The Bird Skinner by Alice Greenway. But if I think back many years to those books which I reread several times as a youth and were my favorites, I would pick The Good Earth by Pearl Buck and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell.”
After more than a month of conversations with local media and other state and school officials, USA Today staffers selected eight active head football coaches in each state as the best high school football coaches in the country. John Bapst’s Coach Dan O’Connell was among them. Online voting by the public determined the top coach in each state. With an astonishing 114,000 votes, O’Connell captured the winning title for Maine. This deserved honor reflects the depth of respect and affection O’Connell has earned among John Bapst staff, faculty, parents, alumni, and students. 17
STUDENT STANDOUTS
Stephanie Colavito ’14 (above) and Charlie Hanscom ’15 enjoyed the spotlight in Penobscot Theatre Company’s 2013 winter production of “Cinderella: A New Telling of an Old Tale.” Hanscom played several comedic roles in the show and Colavito enjoyed her first lead on the PTC stage.
Kara Skinner ’15 was featured in an interview on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” featuring SwoonReads Senior Vice President and Publisher Jean Feiwel, author Jenny Elliott, and Skinner, a “red hot reader” invited to represent the SwoonReads reading community.
Bangor Daily News reviewer Judy Harrison commented that Colavito, “projects such charm that she outshines everyone else on stage. Colavito also lets the character’s innate goodness shine through without letting her Cinderella become saccharine. The John Bapst senior also has a beautiful soprano voice that wraps around theatergoers like a warm blanket.”
SwoonReads is a literary review site, reader community, and the first crowd-sourced publishing site by a major publishing house. Skinner’s own website, Ink and Paper, is at karaskinner.wordpress.com.
Denver Powell ’15 (above, in yellow) has returned from his amazing Carnegie Hall performance with the Honors Performance Series Choir. Here’s a shot of Denver in rehearsal with some of his 300 fellow musicians in the choir. Said Powell of the experience, “It seemed so strange to perform on this stage before some of my favorite artists have. It was really incredible.” 18
Diego Grossman ’15 organized the student-lead TEDx Youth event which was held at Husson’s Gracie Theatre in January. More than a dozen speakers united under the theme of “Create, Conserve, Empower” gave presentations to motivate the youth in attendance. Attending were students from Cape Elizabeth to Limestone. Lydia MacKay ’15, Anna Bryan ’15, Haley Deluca Lowell ’15, and Julia Leslie ’15 also helped with various aspects of the event including preparing lunches for the 150-person crowd.
Jane Branch ’14, Cody Lyons ’14, Matt Spear ’14, and Linley Wakeland ’14 were honored at the Penobscot Valley Conference Scholar Athlete Awards Banquet for their achievements in winter sports. Student Senate President Jane Branch was selected to receive the 2014 Principal’s Award given by the Maine Principals’ Association in recognition of a high school senior’s academic achievement and citizenship.
Lee Spahr ’14 (above) attended the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Washington, D.C., having been chosen to represent Maine based on his academic achievement, leadership potential and “determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.” Leland Mushrall ’14 also visited the nation's capital as a Maine representative at the National Youth Leadership Forum: Careers in National Security – Diplomacy, Intelligence & Defense. Mushrall, a member of the robotics and cyber defense teams, took part in the technology track of the Department of Defensesponsored conference created for students to investigate careers in civil service.
Student Senate Advances John Bapst Museum in the Halls Project
John Bapst began its Museum in the Halls project as a way to display historical and current information about student and alumni achievements and contributions, turning John Bapst’s hallways into a school museum.
With a goal of having the hallway ready in time for the 2014 Step-Up Day, students, with help from faculty advisor Jeremiah Gorman, began searching photo archives and scan- Left: The proposed design ning yearbooks. Above: Members of the 2013-14 Student Sen-
With alumni support, the first hallway was transformed with the creative spirit of John Bapst’s Student Senate. They chose to begin with the long second-floor hallway behind the library, which was echoing and plain.
Charlotte Gelinas ’14 painted the school seal in the center of the wall, and a digital photo collage was placed on the wall in panels printed at John Bapst on special adhesive paper.
Students brainstormed many options in both design and material and brought their efforts before the Administrative Team, which approved their design concept.
A blend of old and new, the images showcase the school community in a way that brings brightness to the space and connects the John Bapst of today with the John Bapst of years past.

The Wall recognizes alumni who have served in the United States Military by listing their names on the John Alumni may arrange to visit the Wall by contacting the Bapst Military Wall of Honor and also on a special page Development Office. To request the addition of an individual or to change an individual listing, please contact on the school’s website. Honorees are listed by decade. Jennifer Tower at jtower@johnbapst.org. “The Wall is designed to expand,” explained Jennifer Tower, who maintains the list of alumni who have served, “Names are added to the list as they are sent to us and the list is updated at least once a year. The new lists are printed and placed in the frames before each Veteran's Day, and the online list is updated. Students who have taken the time to look at the Wall have been struck by the number of names and the photos, particularly during the decades of World Wars I and II.” The physical wall includes the names of those alumni who have served and are serving, as well as photos and military medals given to John Bapst for display.

2012-13 Alumni of the Year Each year the Alumni Association selects one or two graduates as Alumni of the Year, honoring those who have shown outstanding dedication to John Bapst or otherwise made significant contributions to their community or industry. This year’s recipients are Mary Devoe-Pratt ’72 and Roderick Libby ’76.
Roderick Libby served on the Board of Trustees for 13 years and made a significant impact, particularly through his expertise in technology. Although based in California, Libby participated actively in nearly every meeting of the board via telephone. The board meetings come early for local trustees; they were earlier still for Libby, who called in from Pacific Time. Even while living in Asia, Libby reliably participated. His depth of commitment to John Bapst inspired board members and other alumni during his many years of service.

Mary Devoe-Pratt was a student at John Bapst from 1968 to 1972 and later worked at the school as a guidance counselor for 20 years. “I had the privilege of learning from exemplary teachers like Joseph Floyd, James Nahra, Sister Claude Marie, Sister Nancy Conneen, and Sister Elizabeth Kilbride,” said Devoe-Pratt. “I formed friendships that have lasted over forty years and have been a source of joy. There is one person in particular whose support and guidance has spanned the decades: Mr. Joseph Sekera. Mr. Sekera was my science teacher when I was a freshman in 1968. He hired me as a guidance counselor in 1991, and was still there supporting me upon my retirement from counseling in 2011. I am sure that I join many other John Bapst alumni in expressing my gratitude to the many people who have upheld the school’s mission and made a difference in so many lives.”

only provided an excellent education but also helped form values that have served as a compass throughout my life.” —Mary Devoe-Pratt ’72 20

you have a voice in where your contribution is allocated? your contribution is tax deductible? your gift enhances the overall John Bapst experience for students, faculty and staff?
If you’ve already given to the Annual Fund this year, we sincerely thank you. If you have not had an opportunity to do so, we hope you will consider sending a contribution today. Your gift, no matter the size, can play a vital role in sustaining the quality we’ve all come to expect from a John Bapst education.
