In his own words:

Bill Hayes ’36 tells of his amazing life

Eighty-nine year old alumnus O. William “Bill” Hayes, Class of 1936, has logged many miles and chalked up a myriad of experiences in the 71 years since he graduated from CoeBrown. At the urging of his granddaughter, he decided to chronicle his life in a booklet entitled, My World. Portions of the booklet appear below, along with excerpts from a letter that Bill recently sent to Coe-Brown. “I was born in New York City and at the age of 12 we moved to a small farm in Barrington, New Hampshire, where I graduated from a one-room school that included 26 students and one teacher. From there I graduated from Coe-Brown Northwood Academy in 1936 where I had been president of the Junior Class, president of the Student Council and captain of both the baseball and basketball teams. “Immediately following graduation I became affiliated with the New York Yankees organization. Although I was

A Career Highlight: “The highlight of my career was in 1951 when the national baseball publication, The Sporting News, placed my picture on the cover with other honorees. I was named over 500 others as a Minor League Executive of the Year. An amusing anecdote about this is the fact that I had not been notified of my selection and had stopped between cities at a coffee shop and saw the front page on a newsstand.”

far from being the quality of an established major league baseball player, a New York Yankees scout took me under his guidance and had me report to the Yankees training camp in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1937. Over those years I spent a year in Class D, one in Class C, three in Class B, one in Class A and two in AAA, plus employment as a major league player scout. In 1947 I was voted a full players share of the Junior World Series money when the Milwaukee Brewers won it in seven games. “After injuring my shoulder in baseball in 1940, I ran for and was elected as the youngest member, age 22, to the New Hampshire General Court (the state legislature) and was appointed to the Ways and Means Committee where I served until enlisting in World War II. I resigned from the New Hampshire House and was assigned as a private in an anti-aircraft battalion serving at Fort Bliss,

Bill Hayes Coe-Brown Texas, and Camp Carson, Colorado, before being transferred to another unit at Fort Bliss. I was promoted to corporal and then sergeant by a superb commanding officer who had my orders processed and enabled me to go to Officers Candidate School in Miami Beach. I made second lieutenant and worked my way up over the next three years, leaving the service in March, 1946, as an Army Air Corps captain. “Living in Texas in 1950, I was greatly disturbed by the ironclad grip of a one-party state. In 1951, with the blessing of my employer, Continental Belton Manufacturing Company, I decided I would run for the powerful position of lieutenant governor of Texas. Having had previous legislative experience, I announced my candidacy. I started a vigorous 14 months of campaigning for the 1952 general election via the Republican primary in May. A group of wealthy men centered in Dallas and Houston decided to name their own candidate, a well-qualified attorney who they presumed could easily defeat an unknown and underfinanced candidate who was not a native Texan. The hierarchy or the party nearly went into shock when they woke up right after primary night to find that Bill Hayes was their nominee. “We all lost in the November election but one of the highlights of my entire life was when I was called to Austin for a losers’ press conference. As the door opened, the members of the press corps, all Democrats, stood up. ‘We all voted for you, Bill, and we hope you will run again.’ I was speechless, unlike me, and will never forget that rewarding event. “I spent 1954 until 1968 as vice president of three corporations. I also became a speaker for a myriad of causes and events, totaling over 500 appearances. In 1968, we moved to Amarillo, Texas, where my wife Ann and I started an agency, Incentive Advertising, a consulting firm and speakers bureau. My only son, Kemp William Hayes, lives in Leesburg, Florida and my daughters, Susan Bray, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, Christina Chambers, in New York City, Kerry Matthews, in Waco, Texas, and Celeste High, in Amarillo. I also have seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.”

memories

“On my 18th birthday, March 31, 1936, I arrived at school and an assembly was called. All 88 students, three teachers and our fine principal, Mr. Lord, were present. I couldn’t believe it was a surprise birthday greeting for me and in those tough depression days everyone present had chipped in a dime apiece and bought me a gift. It was a lamp with an elephant for its base as they knew I was president of the regional Young Republicans Club. I still have it today and took it back to our 45th alumni reunion to show it to them. What wonderful people. I also have had a note from my English teacher, Paul Sykes. He is still living and keeps in touch several times a year. “I am the only male living from the Class of 1936. The others are all ‘girls’: Elizabeth Doe (now Jaderborg), Rowena Newell (now Walsh) and Helen Marison. We four keep in close touch. I chose to attend Coe’s and have never regretted it. I guess I ended up somewhere in the middle of our class of 20 and felt honored that I was selected to give part of the graduating seniors commencement day program. That and every phase of my four years there has stood me in good stead for all of my years.” Thank you, Mr. Hayes, for sharing your remarkable story!


CBNA grad heads organization that helps inner-city kids Seth Capron, a Nottingham native and 1998 graduate of Coe-Brown Northwood Academy, is one of four co-founders of a Houston-based non-profit organization called Workshop Houston. The non-profit offers creative and enriching activities for youth through five shops that provide artistic, technical and academic resources: the Chopper Shop (welding and metal fabrication), the Beat Shop (hip-hop music production), the Style Shop (fashion design), the Third Ward Bike Shop (doit-yourself bike repair), and the Homework Shop (academic tutoring). Seth graduated from Oberlin College in 2002 with a degree in environmental studies and a focus on urban studies. Before starting Workshop Houston, Seth worked as a mechanic and manager in a number of bike shops around the country. He has also designed and taught youth and adult courses in bike repair, land use and ecology and worked as an elementary school math and reading tutor. Visions editor Margaret Joyce posed a few questions to Seth recently to learn more about his life after CBNA and how his years at the Academy helped shaped his current lifestyle. How did you end up in Houston? One of my good friends who I had worked with on a number of collaborative projects in college, Zach Moser, was from Houston. He had nothing but good things to say about the city and really encouraged me to check it out for myself. I eventually had an opportunity to drive through town, and found it to be a pretty interesting place. A year later, Zach received a grant to start the initial project, a bike shop, based on ideas that we had all been kicking around for years. Four of us decided to see how far we could stretch the seed grant money and moved to Houston together. It seemed like a good place for the project, because it was an urban environment where bicycles really are an effective means of transporting yourself, but one where it wasn’t that common for people to do so. The mild winters also seemed like a plus. How did you choose Oberlin College? I first was attracted to Oberlin because they seemed to have a good balance of strong, traditional education with some innovative and unusual options (such as the experimental college, in which students can apply to teach courses for college credit). It also was well known for its music program. I did not feel ready to major in music, but I was really excited to spend 4 Visions — Spring 2007

time in a place full of musicians, which Oberlin certainly was. Madame Tripp, my CBNA French teacher, was another person who really influenced my choice of college. She had actually attended Oberlin and really encouraged me to look into it, saying that it was a place where students really cared a lot about learning and were passionate about what they did. After visiting a number of schools, that was what really sealed the deal for me. More than anywhere else, at Oberlin I met a lot of people who were really passionate about something. It could be geology or politics or music or anything, but everyone who I met there seemed really engaged in what they were doing and excited about it. Did your educational experience at CoeBrown contribute to your desire to work in the non-profit/human services sector? It’s hard to say exactly what drove me into the nonprofit sector. I think more than a desire to be doing nonprofit work, I wanted to be self-employed. Some of my most rewarding experiences in both college and high school were self directed, such as an independent study course in music composition that I completed with Mr. McCormick, or other classes where I was allowed to make movies and other creative projects rather than simply writing papers. The things that I remember learning the most from in high school were the projects. Mr. Young in the chemistry department had a particularly exciting blend of science and projects, and I also enjoyed the combined history/chemistry of a chemical compound project. After going to college, I was also struck with how successful CBNA is as a place that really encourages everyone to go to college. A lot of people don’t have that encouragement to move on to a place where you can really grow and learn a lot more, and I was excited for the opportunity to work towards creating that for others. Any plans to expand the Houston project to other cities? Not yet, although we’ve had a lot of people ask the same question. I think that a lot of what has made this project successful has been to have a lot of flexibility that comes from being small. We’re able to respond to the needs and interests of our participants and to give them a lot of individual attention. That’s really the key to what we do. At some point I think that we’d like to publish some information about what we’ve found to be the keys to the success of our programs with the hope that other people could learn from our experi-

that I was, and at this point I would be excited to see what people are up to.

Any plans to change careers or explore other job opportunities? Eventually, yes, but I’m pretty committed to this for the time being. We still have a lot of exciting projects on the horizon, including reopening the Beat Shop with a full recording studio. Ask me again in three or four years.

Were there any particular teachers, administrators or classes at Coe-Brown that had a strong impact on you? Yes, definitely. I think that I was kind of a punk kid at that age and probably didn’t learn anywhere near as much as I could have, but there were still a lot of people who made a big impression on me. I would have to say that the biggest influence was Bruce McCormick, who really stressed the importance of taking pride in whatever you do and making a commitment to do your best. Madame Tripp was a lot of fun and was the kind of teacher who I wanted to be, if I wound up being a teacher. And Mr. Young was always the kind of crazy scientist who secretly runs the town. Again, that’s who I would want to emulate, if I ended up as a science teacher.

Do you keep in touch with any of your Coe-Brown classmates? Yes, although not as much as I did at first. I’m in pretty regular contact with my two best friends, Sean White and Nick Jenisch, but other people I only see once in a while. I got together with a bunch of people a few years back, including Ryan Bartosewicz and Emily Liskow—that was a lot of fun. Coe-Brown is a small enough school that I really feel like I knew most of the people who were around at the same time

CBNA FFA:

Blue jackets, gold standard By Judy Sanderson, trustee and FFA parent and Sarah Ward, FFA advisor

As New Hampshire’s oldest FFA chapter, Coe-Brown Northwood Academy’s Much-To-Do chapter continues its long tradition of providing successful leadership and vocational training to students at the school. In response, the student members continue to show their commitment to excellence and pride in wearing the official blue jacket and gold emblem of the FFA. This was clearly evident at the recent three-day Granite State Convention held at the Mount Washington Hotel®. It was an impressive sight, seeing a sea of blue jackets and gold emblems literally fill the Grand Ballroom at the Mount Washington Hotel every day where state FFA officers—all students—planned and ran truly professional award ceremonies each day. Accompanied by the rousing cry of “Blue FFA Advisor Sarah Ward is justifiably proud of award recipients Kipp Franklin (left) and Nate Bronnenberg (right).

George and Beryl Clark, Arthur and Margery Heath ’53 Nutter, Bob Carr and Betty Young Geers represented the Class of ’48 at the Alumni reunion. The reunion was held in the beautiful new Dining Center. What a gorgeous view of Harvey Lake!

We are sad to report the death of one of our classmates in December, Virginia Neilsen Chalbeck. Bob Carr and Betty Young Geers attended the service in Suncook. Romayne Milligan Jackson is well and plans to see us in June. Gordon Fogg still leads a very busy life and enjoys his trips to Washington, D.C., to visit his family. Jean Frost Emerson is recuperating at home after another trip to the hospital. In early February, George ’45 and I were having breakfast at Bradford Junction and saw a familiar smile. Ex-Fire Chief George Clark was in Bradford (still on Fire Department business). We had a short enjoyable visit. Marion Mifflin Williams, Joy Campbell Kimball ’47 and Betty Young Geers still enjoy getting together and reminiscing about old times at CBNA. The Class of ’48 donated a tile for the Dining Center wall. We all agree that we enjoy the Visions Magazine. See you in June. Class of 1956 F.

News that we have ready to share at this time covers all but three members of the class. We haven’t heard from Myrna Williams Cormier and Marion Wheaton Pettingill. For three classmates—Henry Sager, Nancy Corbin, David Ford, and Charlotte West—we have no addresses. Three other classmates—Leonard Burritt, Frances McKenna, Merton Twombly—have died. Eleanor Kelley Corbin lives in Keene. She volunteers, teaches four- and fiveyear-olds at her church. She is also doing a Bible Study with a lady who has speech and understanding difficulties. She reads, quilts, crochets, gardens, and helps put on dinners where she lives. L. Sherman Elliott lives in Northwood. He is still working for the State of New Hampshire and has no plans to retire.

Our 1956 Class Reunion is now history—50 years since we graduated from Coe-Brown. It seems unbelievable that so many years have gone by. I must say that our Class was very well represented. Our graduating class had 19 members; four are now deceased and five were unable to attend. We had a wonderful evening at the Alumni Banquet where 10 of us were present. It was fun meeting everyone again after so many years. The next morning 10 of us met for brunch at Chadbourn’s Restaurant. It was really nice getting reacquainted and now several of us are staying in touch with each other. Those attending the Alumni Banquet were Edward “Spike” Bryant, Albert Burtt, Gloria Twombly Colpritt, Barbara DeMeritt Gray, Anne Witham Kustron, Robert “Rocky” Magoon, Lorraine DeButts O’Neal, Barbara Corbett Thompson, Robert Wentworth and Shirley Young. Barbara Gray won the award for traveling the farthest, all the way from Los Altos, California. I am sure Barbara Thompson was very close to that award also. She traveled up from Macon, Georgia, for the reunion. Raffle prizes were won by Shirley Young, Barbara Gray, and Anne Kustron. The following morning 10 of us again joined together and went to Chadbourn’s Restaurant for brunch. Albert Burtt was not able to come, but we had the pleasure of Reta Shepard White’s company that day. Our class voted to donate two tiles for the Dining Center’s “Wall of Remembrance.” One tile is a commemorative tile honoring the memory of four deceased members of our class: Doris Holmes Anderson, B. James Corbin, John W. O’Connor, and Virginia Wood Kelley. The second tile reads “From Dreams to Reality,” Class of 1956. At the end of breakfast everyone gave an update on themselves and we all exchanged addresses to be able to stay in touch. We are all very hopeful that this can now become an annual event and to be able to see each other more often. Also at the brunch an invitation was made to everyone to try and come to John and Anne Kustron’s home in No. Waterboro, Maine, for a cookout and a boat ride on Sunday, July 23.

CBNA student news

Congratulations to CBNA sophomore Jihyon hyon Im, who became an American citizen on February 16, 2007. An honor roll student, Ji is also a member of CBNA’s tennis team. She and her brother, Seong hyon Im (who will be a freshman at CBNA next fall), came to the United States from South Korea two years ago. Academic Achievements Five CBNA students, Sarah Bujno, Zoe Hendrickson, Devon Hermenau, Gary Hoover and Brendan McCann, were named Commended Students in the 2007 National Merit Scholarship Program. Jihyon Im

With their calculators ready and wearing their new team jackets, the Coe-Brown Math Team arrived at Plymouth State University in April for the State Math Meet. In the Southeastern Math League, the team proudly finished third. At the State Math Meet, the CoeBrown team finished 12th out of 32 teams in Class I. The team practices two to three times a month, completing packets prepared by their coach, CBNA math teacher Diana Foster. Excellence in the Arts The CBNA Art Department is pleased to announce several CBNA students and their artworks were published in The 2006 Annual Report for the Town of Northwood. Adriane Moreno’s black and white photograph entitled Winding Road was selected as the cover from all submissions entered through Mr. Chatfield’s and Mr. Unrein’s Basic Art and photography classes. This year’s theme was “Main Streets and Back Roads.” Additional works were chosen for inclusion within the report as the town “feels it greatly contributes to the visual appeal while presenting an opportunity to showcase the talented young artists in our community.” Congratulations to all students who participated. CBNA extends congratulations to senior Kaitlyn Cecchetti of Strafford, whose artwork was selected to represent her congressional district in Washington. Her white charcoal drawing entitled “To Have a Novel Life” will hang in the tunnel connecting the Congressional and Senate buildings with the Capitol for the next year.


Six students from Coe-Brown were chosen to represent Coe-Brown Northwood Academy in the 26th Annual Congressional Art Competition sponsored by Representative Carol Shea-Porter, First Congressional District. On average, 26,000 high school students nationwide are involved in the contest annually. One student is selected from each participating congressional district across the United States. Kaitlyn submitted her white charcoal drawing entitled “To Have a Novel Life,” a beautifully rendered image of her own hand writing in a journal, with 3 classic novels placed in the background. Kaitlyn Cecchetti received first place honors which includes two roundtrip airfares from Southwest Airlines to attend the national reception in Washington, DC, in June. Five other works of art by CBNA students—Ivy Gooch, Kaci Hoey, Laura Masten, Courtney Tuck and Kristopher Wojitusik—were submitted for the competition. Laura Masten was awarded a New Hampshire Institute of Art Summer Scholarship for her piece entitled “Clown Face.” World Language Masters CBNA senior Zoe Hendrickson competed in the Concours Oratoire Français Marcel Bourque (Marcel Bourque French Speech Contest) at the Pembroke Public Library in March. Each student in the contest was asked to choose a French-speaking region of the world and tell why you would like to go there. Zoe wrote and presented her speech about Mali. Although she was not the winner of the competition, she represented Coe-Brown very well, and was awarded a certificate of participation and a $25 cash prize. Coe-Brown Northwood Academy would like to congratulate the students in Mrs. Green’s Latin classes who took the National Latin Exam in March. In total, 134,000 students from all 50 states and 13 foreign countries completed the exam.
