Harvest Time
Above, Environmental Science students planted pumpkin seedlings outside the Clark Center for Science & Mathematics as an experiment last spring. Out of the school-grown compost that they used to condition the soil, several successful tomato plants have also "accidentally" taken root, according to science teacher Jeff Dyreson. At right, by mid-August, the garden has already yielded at least 20 ripe pumpkins that Jeff will be storing for the fall. Many more have yet to ripen.

Getting Ready
Above, the football team and fans rejoice after a win over Hotchkiss last fall. Football players return to campus for preseason training in late August. Preseason for other fall sports begins on September 4. At right, members of the U.S. Women's National Soccer Team practice in the Meadows before their match with Sweden earlier this summer.

This fall, it will be known as Longman House when it serves as a dorm for 10 sophomore boys. At right, “Winged Victory,” one of Evelyn's works of art and affectionately known as “Minerva,” graces the corridor in the newly restored Chaffee Hall. Read more
