Carl Lovejoy
Kevin McCaffrey
and
Gregg
Townsend
announce their new
jobs: “Our new form director,
Carl Lovejoy
, has reached
out to us to gather and submit
formnotes for publication in the
Horae.
As we looked around at
each other at our 40th Anniver-
sary Weekend, we all realized
how far 40 years is from 1975.
Let’s use the next 40 to continue
to grow the camaraderie our
class has by sharing our stories
and experiences. We have just
two notes below, but we’ll need
many more. Send your news to
either of us: Gregg at sdparty-
or Kevin
at
.”
As a side note, Gregg writes:
“Last night I met Lester Batiste,
who now teaches literature at
my daughter’s school, Blake, in
Minneapolis. He taught at SPS
for two years as a part of the
Penn Fellows program. Seems
like a wonderful teacher.”
Archie Douglas
is starting
his second year as head of the
Greenwood School in Mill Val-
ley, Calif. An educator for three
decades, he has held a number
of positions, including: teacher,
counselor, coach, division di-
rector, and head of school. He
came to Greenwood from the
Upland Country Day School in
Kennett Square, Pa., where he
was interim head. Prior to that,
he served as principal at the Pa-
cific Collegiate Charter School
in Santa Cruz. He summed up
his educational philosophy in
the announcement of his ap-
pointment to the Greenwood
School: “Regardless of the back-
ground or circumstances of a
child, he or she needs the right
adults at the right moment;
it can make all the difference
for decades to come. A great
school makes this possible by
honoring the innocence and
the possibility of every child in
its care, by keeping the joy of
curiosity and discovery alive, by
striving to make every teacher
as good as she or he can be, by
working constantly to find the
right balance between challenge
and support, and by offering a
program that lives – and leads
– with integrity, fairness, and
common sense.” On a lighter
note, Archie writes, “It’s fun to
be around younger kids and nice
to be removed from the high
school business and its college
admissions frenzy. The area is
so beautiful, withMt. Tamalpais
out my back door and Point
Reyes right down the road.”
Kevin McCaffrey
writes:
“After three decades work-
ing in traditional independent
schools, including six years at
SPS,
Carl Lovejoy
was asked in
2011 to be part of the founding
team of Mountain Valley Treat-
ment Center. Located in Pike,
N.H., some 30 minutes north of
Dartmouth College, MVTC is a
short-term, nonprofit residen-
tial program for adolescents
with acute anxiety and related
disorders. Using exposure and
response prevention as a pri-
mary evidenced-based treat-
ment modality to address OCD
and anxiety disorders, exposure
therapy is a cognitive behavior-
al therapy technique that helps
people confront their fears in a
systematic and gradual way. To

Fulweiler
writes: “Next spring
is our 40th reunion at SPS, and
I amplanning our class reunion.
Please put June 3-5 on your cal-
endars for Anniversary Week-
end. In the meantime, please
keep the Alumni Office updated
with your contact information,
and be alert for reunion details.
My daughter,
Emma ’16
, will
be graduating. Come and help
her celebrate what have been,
in her words, “the best years
of my life.”
Several weeks ago I experi-
enced the joy and trepidation
of installing my son as a new
member of the Form 2019. In
light of the recent, conspicuous
publicity, some might question
the state of the School and its
leadership, and the wisdom of
