Battling high heat and humidity at Bogle-
Lechner Field on June 1, the Sixth Form
members of the undefeated Big Red girls
varsity lacrosse team joined alumnae
Paula Paquette ’79, Daphne Clark Faldi
’93, Meeghan Ford ’03, Ashley Crutchfield
’08, and Sophie Ward (younger sister of
Charlotte Ward ’13 and daughter of Seth
Ward ’79) to take on the underformers
of the SPS squad in a spirited alumnae
game. Kara Lentz ’03 attended the game,
but did not play.
The abbreviated contest featured back-
and-forth action, with the returning
varsity players edging the Sixth Formers
and alumni, 8-7. Paquette dazzled in the
net for the alumnae, according to Coach
Heather Crutchfield.
“It was so much fun to see these alumnae
back at St. Paul’s, picking up right where
they left off,” said Coach Crutchfield. “It
was a great afternoon for all involved.”
Prior to the game, the School expressed
thanks to donors at a special ceremony
honoring those who made the Bogle-
Lechner turf field a reality. The field had
been officially dedicated on September 29,
2012. The Anniversary ceremony was
attended by additional donors unable
to attend the previous event, including
Jonathan W. Old III ’78, P’13 and Hyung-Il
Kim and Hae-Kyung Kwon, parents of JK
Kim ’06 and CK Kim ’13. Courtney Bogle
’08, at the School for her fifth reunion,
represented her parents, Harold and Emily
Bogle P’08,’10,’14. The Old, Kim, and Bogle
names joined those of John A. Lechner IV
and Mary F. Higgins P’07,’09,’12,’15,
Charles and Hilary Bedford Parkhurst ’80,
P’07,’12,’16, and the Riva family on a re-
cently unveiled plaque located on the build-
ing adjacent to the field.
