Announces Engagement
Kris Rongner, therapist with Catherine Freer Wilderness Program, Albany, Oregon and formerly a counselor at Rocky Mountain Academy,
recently announced her engagement and plans to marry this spring. Kris reports she maintains a pretty steady schedule with adolescents
wilderness trips, but took a holiday this fall to join a climbing group to Russia! "Couldn't believe I was actually standing there
in Red Square and how similar Americans and Russians are in so many ways."

situation during their pregnancy. Dave would appreciate calls from anyone knowing of suitable resources and can be reached at 619-561-9343.
John Dewey Academy Graduates
Tom Bratter, founder and President of The John Dewey Academy in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, has been elected Vice-President of
the Small Boarding Schools Association. Tom also reports that 75% of the graduates of the first four classes from John Dewey Academy
have received college degrees, and that 77% of their current college students are completing their requirements. Three John Dewey
graduates are currently attending the University of Chicago, which was recently voted to be the most joyless place by a poll conducted
by Harvard. Tom also reports that current seniors have been admitted Early Decision by Clark University, The College of the Holy Cross,
Emerson College, Northwestern and Ohio Wesleyan Universities, Sarah Lawrence College, and the University of Rochester. There is guarded
optimism that Boston College, Brandeis, George Washington, Georgetown and Tulane Universities will accept the rest in two months.
On January 2nd, 1994, the 1995 campaign commenced for current Juniors at The John Dewey Academy.
