The Lenox School Book of History and Memories
Sunday, September 12, 2010 at 7:05PM We have launched a very exciting endeavor with the guidance and help of Randy Harris and Ed Ockenden: The Lenox School Book of History and Memories project wherein we are soliciting the recollections, anecdotes, reminiscences, memories, etc which will be published in a book to cement the Lenox School history and experience. Keep an eye out here in the News section for more info!, meantime, below the photo is an update.

Just an update on the Lenox School Book of History and Memories (not the final Title: “Lenox: A Place Apart” is leading so far) whose goal is to provide a source of memories and enjoyment for LSAA members; commemorate the School and those involved with it; and to provide an enduring legacy of the School, "as we knew it". As described in the previous edition of the P&S, we have a pretty good idea of what we’d like the Book to contain and what it might look like. Now we’re into the “dog-days” of research which will likely take at least half a year and will include a review of every document in the School’s Memorabilia Collection, as well as continued contact with Alumni and former Masters and Staff. With the completion of the initial version of the Campus History White Paper, we believe that we’ve got a pretty good handle on the School history and building descriptions and so we’ll now focus on describing the various detailed aspects of the School experience and on collecting applicable recollections of them.
We are also beginning to learn about the Print-On-Demand book publishing business, which appears to be the cheapest way to produce a quality product in the “limited” quantities that we will need. It will involve an initial modest investment and then reasonable per-copy printing costs. We’ll be getting into the fine-print to evaluate the various companies and see if we can find one that meets our needs, but a final decision is still quite some time away. At some point along the way and after we have a good idea on the company and price-per-copy, we’ll probably ask you to indicate your desire to purchase a copy in order to gauge initial-run quantities. The intent is to provide a professional-quality product with plenty of pictures at a reasonable price. Any income derived from an above-cost price will be used to recoup the initial investment and to add to LSAA discretionary funds.
You can help us now with your personal recollections on any or all of the areas listed below. In the meantime, we’ll continue to gather those recollections that you’ve already submitted as Pen and Scroll Letters to the Editor and that some of you wrote as Pen and Scroll articles many years ago. Hopefully, everyone should have at least one recollection to provide, if not many more. The major areas of the Lenox School experience that we plan to address are: Campus and Buildings; Faculty and Staff; Academics, Student Body; Student Life; Religion; Athletics; Extracurricular Activities; Outreach Programs; Memories of Classmates/Family Members Who Have Passed On; any experiences that you had with The End of the School, The Bordentown/Lenox School and Visits to the Campus Since the School Closed; and a Farewell/Parting Thought On How the School and Experience Has Changed Your Life. Finally, many thanks to those who have already provided information and we look forward to hearing from the rest of you in the months ahead! Your memories are the key to bringing this Book to life!
