“Rosebud”?

The bountiful years of life where everything and everyone is seen through the eyes of a child: perfect, just the way they are. Where responsibilities change from recess, nap time, and snack time into reading, writing, and mathematics. Where you really do learn everything you need to know in kindergarten, and where you can always dig deeper into the sandbox. Where learning is not a task, but an adventure. This is where it all begins.

Middle School is the threshold. Ready to break out of the warm cocoon of Lower School, but not quite prepared to cross the big Bridge, Middle-schoolers figure out who they are and who they want to be. Schedules, lockers, sports, student government, and electives all make their first appearances, as Middle-schoolers adjust their definitions of “normal” “familiar” and “cool!’ Free to make more choices and demand more independence, yet still supported by the comfort and safety of authority, PCDS Middle-schoolers step confidently in the direction of their dreams.

W hether they are leading classes, holding court at various clubs, coaching teams, or helping advisees, the teachers are always there for us. They are the supportive backbone to our student body. The enormous amount of time and effort the teachers put into their jobs, both on- and off-campus, will always be appreciated.

the writing on the wallThis year, more than any other, our work in Lower School has been about building. Since last spring, we have watched with anticipation and amazement as fantastic new facilities for the Lower School grew from the ground up. Foundations, frameworks, and walls originated from a vision and a lot of hard work.

It te a metaphor for what we do with

children.

Teaching is always about building; we build strong, positive relationships with our students as they develop and strengthen academic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics.We provide the framework for students to be creative and expressive in the arts, music, and foreign languages; their activities in PE build strong bodies and good sportsmanship. We help build their character by teaching them to be respectful, resourceful, responsible, and resilient.

Our wrlwngwithe walls can say#1}

starts at the lower school. Students start off on their adventure with not only geography, reading, and arithmetic but also physical education, music, and art in an integrated curriculum. They also learn con­cepts of respect, sharing, and consideration. Visitors from the upper school and middle school often pass by the lower school classrooms and catch a gilmpse of the younger students hunched over their desks, working hard on their shiny laptops; other times students are reading quietly or learning how to write a letter but they all just can’t wait for recess...

between students, parents, and teachers, the PCDS community remembers to come together and share their memories. During recess, lower school students happily play with their friends from other classes and grades. Teachers sit back in the shade and chat as they watch their students laugh and run. Finally, parents wait near the entrance to pick up their children. The lower school community continues to work together to bring rewarding experiences and a fruitful educa­tion to PCDS students.

WmI used to work as a therapist. I coun­

seled children aged three through eigh­teen and had lots of conversations w ith my older students about tattoos. I re­minded them that if they had gotten a tattoo ten years prior it m ight have been of Barney or Big Bird - something they m ight not have been thrilled about as they got older. W ho’s to say that what

choices now that close doors... tthey would choose at 17 might still in ­spire them at 30?

Here’s the point: Don’t make any choices now that close doors for you lat­er. It is a time for trying things on, pur­suing options, looking at all the possibili­ties, meeting people, going places, and being open to what life holds for you. Don’t “ tattoo” yourself into something that m ight not fit later, there are just too many great choices you don’t even know about yet.

5th graders experience a three day trip to Astrocamp in Idyllwild, California. Astrocamp provides a science program in which students actively work on topics in astronomy, space technology, meteorology, geology and physics. The camp is run by the same organization which runs the very impressive Catalina Island Marine Institute (CIMI) to which many of our students go in the summer.

5th graders race for their lives during free time at Astrocamp. w

6th graders build their own raft in the Gilligan’s Island activity

Through small group, hands-on activities, students have the opportunity to gain a more per­sonal connection to the natural world and learn responsible actions in order to sustain it.

This trip gives our sixth graders the opportunity to improve their critical thinking and problem solving skills. In addition, there area chance to build new friendships and to work on team

trav&\ebuilding and leadership activi­ties. Pali Mountain Institute is located on more than 74 acres of natural mountain wilderness near scenic Lake Arrowhead, CA.

The PCDS Middle School abounds with activity. Out on the sports field or inside Burch Hall,PCDS middle-schoolers are very busy! Through electives and Flex Fridays, middle-schoolers get the opportunity to design their own extracurricular experience. As they move from year to year, middle school activities bridge the gap between old and new. This year, seventh- and eighth-graders started a new tradition with the first annual

Middle School fall play. Students of all grade levels continue to enjoy such outlets as sports, cultural day, student council, community service, and class trips. Students don’t have time to be bored, because there’s always something interesting to do!

music

Middle School music is a time for exploration. PCDS fifth-graders venture from the comforts of Lower School sing-a-longs to the responsibilities and symphonic rewards of instumental music with strings and band. Sixth graders have even more choices, joining choir or jazz ememble. Throughout middle school, students work hard in classes, rehearsals, and concerts, sharing music with their parents, teachers, and peers. Learning melody and soul from such talented faculty members as Mr. Rowe, Ms. Fleming, and Mrs. Schertenlieb, middle schoolers will carry the gift of music with them for years and years to come.

The seventh grade class trip to Joshua Tree National Park in California has two main goals. The first is to create class unity and cohesion. The second is to teach skills such as risk taking, self-confidence and improve self-esteem. Students participate in activities designed to meet these

j goals from Boojum Institute for Experiential Education. Class trips are designed to provide an opportunity for students to make friends and become more united as a seventh grade class.

The eighth graders spent five days exploring educational opportunities as well as discovering new friends at the Catalina Island Environmental Leadership camp in California. Whether hiking or snorkeling, working in a laboratory or sharing new discoveries the students developed an ability to observe the environment and to realize that ecology and nature are intimately linked with many other disciplines, including social sciences, literature, math, and art. Not only does the camp provide a valuable educational program in oceanography, but it also gives the eighth graders an opportunity to get to know their classmates and teachers.

So make the best of this test, and don’t ask w h y ...It’s not a question but a lesson learned in tim e...

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right...I hope you had the time of your life.So take the photographs and still frames in your m ind ... Hang it on a shelf in good health and good tim e...Tatoos of memories and dead skin on tria l...For w hat it’s w orth it was worth all the while.It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right...

I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason Bringing something we must learn ...

And we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them — And we help them in re tu rn ...

Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s tru e ...But I know I’m who I am today because I knew yo u ...Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a su n ...Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?But because I knew you I have been changed for good.It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime So let me say before we part...So much of me is made of what I learned from you ...You’ll be w ith me like a handprint on my heart...And now whatever way our stories en d ...I know you have re-written mine by being my friend...

Humanities in the Upper School are the combination of History and English classes. We read major historical and contemproary works by many different authors. We learn of battles, people, and places of importance in history of many different cultures. In discussion with our teachers and peers, we make connections and we refine our skills. Building a strong foundation with Dr. Allison and Mr. Mirzaie freshman year, and finally choosing electives like Shakespeare and VietNam senior year, there is always more to learn!

From explosive chemistry and enzymatic biology to a propelling physics program, environmental know­how, and exciting new independent studies, the PCDS Upper School is bursting with scientific flare.

GARREN The Early Years

byMom and Dad

FADE IN:

A red, yellow and blue sports car streaks across the frame, see ROSE behind the wheel smiling broadly as he veers near cliff. This will be no ordinary ride.

In a photomontage, we see Rose as Captain Hook, James Bond, and Paul Bunyan. We HEAR the sounds of character being developed and plot thickening.

The story progresses all too quickly as ROSE evolves into a young man.

FLASH FORWARD:

Preview for GARREN II The Adventure Continues

Congratulations Laura!

In memory of tom wlolunokif someone who tells lies is a liar, wnat do you call someone who tells the truth?Riddles like these delighted Tom Wielunski, and he never missed the opportunity to provide a moment’s

ntertainment in one of his classes by posing such a question. Sometimes his riddles were mathematical and ometimes philosophical; sometimes he would furnish the answer and sometimes not. It didn’t really matter;

| le simply enjoyed stretching the limits of his mind and that of his students. And all of us who knew him || vere his students, because he was blessed not only with a stockpile of personal knowledge, but also with the ibility to stimulate others to think for themselves.

I realized recently how many people Mr. Wielunski had touched during his far-too-brief tenure here at •CDS. I was astounded by the number of upper-schoolers that day who said, “i never really got to know Mr.

jjjVielunski as well as i would have liked, but there was this one conversation.. .” So know, Mr. Wielunski, hat you will be missed for your jokes, your smiles, your infectious laugh, and your extraordinary gifts for eaching and understanding, but most of all, you will be missed for the warmth, compassion, and the joy you

jjfpread everywhere you went. Yours was a life well-lived, and the limits of our gratitude rapidly approach °°.

—Caroline Perry, Class of 2007

hose who knew Tom Wielunski could not help being touched by the lessons he taught us. As a master teacher, Tom was an inspiration to his colleagues and a role model of lifelong learning for his students,

bm loved math, and his greatest joy was showing kids how intriguing math could be. We commonly heard im ask questions such as:

• “Did you know that 1+1 does not equal 2?”• “How about a game of sticks?”• “How can we ever walk out the door if we first have to go halfway?”

His questions fostered the kind of intellectual curiosity that motivated his students to learn and|xplore more.

Beyond being an excellent teacher, Tom Wielunski was a wonderful human being. He was a devoted fiend and colleague-compassionate, fair, sincere, and patient.

Tom gave us many gifts. Our gifts in return are to remember his kind words, mathematical insights, ly stories, and caring advice-and to treat others the way he treated each of us.

—Jennifer Cherilla, Faculty

acknowledgementI am proud of this book. The production of a yearbook is an arduous task and I have frequently

reminded myself of B.G. Jett’s quote, “If the word quit is part of your vocabulary, then the word finish is likely not!’ When you have a Saturday of yearbook-making ahead of you, there are times when you want to drop everything and quit. However, if I had done that, I would not be able to present this beautiful thing to you. Several tremendous people have stuck by my side along the way... I would first like to thank my advisor, Mr. Reese. Without him, this yearbook would not exist. He is responsible for everything technical and keeping our whole staff focused along the way. His great attitude and witty sense of humor have helped to keep the attitude of the staff upbeat and motivate the younger members to dig in and keep working.I would like to thank my fellow editors: Abby Seadler (Photo,) Katie Lupica (Text,) Jamie Engelman (Production help in the beginning) Natalie and Nicole Swinford (Clubs,) M at Tibi and M at Cowlin (Random, Jared Neufer (Copy,) Laura Reahard and Stephanee Germaine (Assistant Editors,) and Danni Lin (Layout.) I would next like to send my regards to every one who helped write text and take photos (Ayten Salahi, Nick Farrier, Richie and Janie Zitomer, Nick Genta, Lizzie Thompson, Sandy Weiss, Will French, Sophie Carter- Kahn, Amy Waitkus Ivy Epstein, Deepa Rao, Kylie Huckleberry, and Izzie Carter-Kahn.) John Guenther, one of my dearest friends, thank you for digging in at the last minute (when we needed the most help!) and helping us out with bagels and random page-making.

I obviously must thank Mrs. Thompson, Ms. Olson, Mrs. Thommen, and Mr. Campbell for "eferring me to various faculty members who could be of assistance and answering various

questions about pictures and student activities. The majority of our sports photos can be credited to Nancy Crase (owner of Crase Photo) w ith a huge thank-you! Thanks to the entire faculty who were patient in letting us take pictures during their classes and providing us w ith additional photos. Thank you to Joan

xvisley and Debra Kolbet (Communications) and Andy Surber and Andy McKean (Educational Technology) for help with photos.I also would like to acknowledge every one who helped us match names to faces for captioning-purposes.

Thanks to the coaches and club advisors for their patience and diligence in getting their club and team photos taken. Thank you to Thais Moraes for designing a funky cover and Annie Gould for a cute title page. Thanks to patient and supportive parents for all of their help, especially those who provided us with photos and their children (to work on this yearbook!) In conclusion, thank you to patient people everywhere! It has been my deepest pleasure to serve as your editor for the 2006-2007 yearbook. Please keep the mentioned people in mind as you flip through these pages...

Sincerely,Clare Burnham Editor-in-Chief

Enjoy!
