Spring Senior Dinner is Friday, May 15, and the Class of 2015 will have its official portrait taken that evening at 5:30 p.m. in the Phillips Stevens Chapel (on the steps in good weather; in the Chapel if it’s raining). Science teacher Erin Davey will give the faculty address at dinner, which begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Birch Dining Commons. It’s sure to be a great night!
Because the Senior Dinner is happening in the Birch Dining Commons, class dinners will be held elsewhere on campus. The freshmen will meet in front of the 194 Main Street dorm; the sophomores will gather in the rear of the Athletic Center at the grassy section south of Sawyer Field; and the juniors will meet in front of Memorial Hall. If it rains, all classes will be in the Athletic Center. There will be barbeques with lawn games and other activites for the underclassmen from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
To any student signed up for AP European History 2015-16:
You are required to sit for the placement test on Tuesday, May 19 at 3:15 – 4:15 p.m. in Reed 102. If you do not show up for the placement test you may not take the class, so please let me know ASAP if you have a conflict or any questions.

Dear Students,
As we look towards the end of the year, I wanted to let everyone know the process we will be using to collect your Surface. We collect the Surfaces so that we can make sure we have them updated and ready for re-deployment next September. For returning students, we will do our best to make sure that in September you get back the same Surface that you return to us.
To prepare for returning your Surface, be sure that your important files are backed up to OneDrive, as any files not backed up will be erased during the re-imaging process. If you are not sure whether your files are being backed up properly, please visit the Technology Department.
The collection times/locations will be as follows:
During the collection process, you will turn in your:
Surface ($1299)
Stylus ($29.99)
Charger ($79.99)
Keyboard ($129.99)
A Technology Department staff person will examine the equipment, verify what you have returned, and issue you a receipt. If you fail to turn in a piece of equipment, the Business Office will charge your account for the cost of replacement, as outlined above. If we determine that your Surface has been damaged beyond normal wear and tear, you will be charged a $250 repair fee, as per the user agreement.
I urge you to come to the Technology Department if you know that you have any defective or damaged equipment so that we can deal with it before the end of the year.
Also, keep in mind that it is a violation of school rules to sell school-owned equipment such as styluses, chargers, or keyboards.
I will send out reminders as the dates draw closer. If anyone has any questions, please contact the Technology Department at ext. 3338.
Thanks for your cooperation and finish the year strong!

All are welcome to attend

From Mr. Fragola:
Witness the history and legacy of the anti-mafia movement in Sicily brought to light through Another Corleone: Another Sicily.
In the eyes of many Americans and throughout most of the world Sicilians are viewed as mafiosi.
Francis Coppola’s internationally acclaimed 1972 film, The Godfather, propelled this stereotypical view to mythic proportions and romanticized the mafia.
Little is known of the heroic anti-mafia movement in Sicily that originated among the peasants. Since the late 1800’s, agrarian leaders emerged. As they organized and grew in strength, pressing for reforms, the mafia murdered them, thereby halting progress for decades.
Yet new leaders emerged, determined to carry on the fight, even at the cost of their own lives.
The legacy of these leaders is embodied in three farm cooperatives created from lands confiscated from the mafia in the area of Corleone.
Anthony Fragola is Professor Emeritus of Media Studies at the University of North Carolina – Greensboro. Another Corleone: Another Sicily is the culmination of a series of documentaries on the anti-mafia movement in Sicily.
Here is the assessment schedule for the week of May 25– 28. (Please note: The last day on this schedule is Thursday, not Friday as indicated.)
