Our talented \nstudents engage with passionate educators on a daily basis in pursuit of their love of \nlearning. Our parents trust in the process and journey of an Indian Springs education, \nsupporting their students and the school through the trials and tribulations of adolescence. Our \nalumni community and friends remain involved and ensure the ability of faculty and staff to live out \nthe School\u2019s mission. As much as I am thankful for the tremendous campus and facilities that we \nenjoy, I am most grateful for the relationships that bind the Indian Springs community together.\nThis past summer was one of the most enjoyable I\u2019ve had in my professional life. Although \nit would be difficult to characterize the summer of 2023 as relaxing and rejuvenating, I can \nwholeheartedly say it re-ignited my own passion for learning and further cemented my love of the \nIndian Springs School community. Shortly after graduation, I boarded an airplane bound for Seoul \nwith Assistant Head of School for Advancement and External Affairs Jim Simon. After repeated \nattempts over the last two years, we were able to travel overseas to South Korea and China. With \nstops in Seoul, Shanghai, and Beijing, we visited with current students, alums, and their extended \nfamilies. Although I had been to both countries several times, this trip was different. It was \nincredible to meet these members of the Springs community in their home countries. We received \na warm welcome along each of our stops. I was struck by how proud our students and alums were \nto have us visiting and to show off a little bit of their respective cultures and hometowns. I look \nforward to continuing to travel near and far to hear from and interact with our students and alumni \nin the weeks, months, and years ahead.\nTwo days after I returned from Asia, I found myself on another long-haul flight overseas. This \ntime to Israel, courtesy of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) for their inaugural Independent \nSchool Heads program. With nine other heads of school from some of the finest independent \nschools from all across the US, I spent a week in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Ramallah, and various other \nstops around Israel and Palestine to meet with political, educational, religious, and business leaders. \nI was gratified that Indian Springs was included in this trip, with schools from New York City, \nAtlanta, Boston, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco also well represented, particularly when we \nstumbled upon the Alabama Store in Jerusalem. The others were surprised to see just how profound \nof an impact our great state has on the world. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and timely, \ngiven all that is transpiring in that part of the world. I am devastated by the images and stories \nrecounted on the evening news, and am keeping everyone in the Indian Springs community and \nacross the globe who have been impacted in my thoughts and prayers. Although I left that trip with \nmore questions than answers, I am grateful for the gracious hospitality I received. Even when the \nhelicopter I was traveling in needed to make an unplanned landing in the field of an Israeli farmer, \nwe were greeted with a warm welcome and a kind offer to join him for coffee when he should \nhave been upset with us for damaging his crops. This is a reminder to me that despite everything \nhappening in the world, human connections and kindness are powerful and transformative.  \nSpeaking of powerful and transformative, I would be remiss not to mention that the 2023-2024 \nschool year marks the 50th for Dr. Bob Cooper at Indian Springs. The impact Bob Cooper has had \non Indian Springs and our students, past and present, has been profound. Whether you earned the \nelusive A or a C on a Cooper paper, I am confident that our students and alums are stronger writers, \nmore critical thinkers, and better human beings because of Dr. Cooper. Please join me in celebrating \n50 years of Cooper at Springs.\nI wish the extended Indian Springs family a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.\n\n--- Page 6 ---\n4\n50 \nY E A R S O F  \nEXCELLENCE \nIN TEACHING \n\u2014\u2014 with   \u2014\u2014\nBOB  \nCOOPER\nBY ERIC VELASCO P \u201923\nDr. Bob Cooper in the \nclassroom October 2023.\n\n--- Page 7 ---\n5\nIndian Springs\nT\nhe prognosis was grim in 1990 when Dr. Robert Cooper \nwas diagnosed with colon cancer.\nIt was bucket-list time, the oncologist told Cooper, \nthen in his 17th year teaching history at Indian Springs \nSchool. If there was something he really wanted to do in life, do it now.\nBack home on campus, he recounted his reply to his wife, Pam \nCooper, daughter Jesanna Cooper \u201994\u2014then a 9th grader and athlete \nat Indian Springs\u2014and son, Keir Cooper \u201998, a future Indian Springs \nstudent, athlete, and coach.\n\u201cI want to do what I\u2019m doing,\u201d he said. \u201cIf this is the end, what I \nchoose to do is come to Indian Springs and teach my students every day, \nand go to my children\u2019s soccer games.\u201d\nFollowing surgery around Thanksgiving of that year, he returned to \nthe classroom in January, challenging teens to think critically and distin-\nguish fact from bias. Wracked by chemotherapy, he was violently ill day \nand night, including in class.\n\u201cHe kept a big garbage sack in the corner, and he would go back and \nvomit,\u201d says Pam, herself a retired public school educator. \u201cThen he\u2019d go \nback to the lectern and keep teaching. You talk about perseverance and \ndesire. They broke the mold with Bob Cooper.\u201d\nCancer is long gone, and Cooper now celebrates his 50th year in \nthe classroom at Indian Springs School, where the family has also \nresided since 1974.\nFor decades, every Indian Springs student has taken at least one class \nfrom Cooper. He\u2019s educated generations of alumni; he\u2019s even taught two \ngenerations of his own family.\n\u201cThe students now in my elective, half of them I taught their parents,\u201d \nCooper says. \u201cThere\u2019s something nice about that.\u201d\nHe has led and co-led student teams to national prominence in \nacademic competitions. Seminars on \u201cWar and Peace,\u201d his favorite \nbook, are fabled. One Thanksgiving weekend, students gathered at the \nCoopers\u2019 home to binge all 26 hours of the BBC adaptation of Leo \nTolstoy\u2019s classic.\nHe exerts that kind of gravitational pull. \nOne day in the mid-1980s, he mentioned needing a lectern. Students \ncalling themselves the \u201cDr. Bob Fan Club\u201d built one, giving it a psyche-\ndelic paint job. Others added adornments over the years. When the \nlectern teetered, students rebuilt it. \u201cDr. Bob\u201d still uses it.\nCooper keeps up with scores of former students, sending birthday \ngreetings via Facebook. He\u2019s a draw at alumni functions.\n\u201cThey come en masse to see Dr. Cooper,\u201d says Scott Schamberger, \ncurrent head of school at Indian Springs. \u201cYou don\u2019t do that if there \nwasn\u2019t a meaningful connection and personal transformation you went \nthrough in his class.\u201d\nKelly Bodnar Battles \u201985 is a graduate of Princeton University and \nHarvard Business School. But of all her professors and mentors, a high \nschool history teacher has had the biggest impact, she says. \n\u201cDr. Cooper is the type of person who changes people\u2019s lives,\u201d says \nBattles, who also discussed his influence in a 2022 podcast on leadership. \n\u201cHe opened the aperture of my world. And he did it not just teaching \nhistory, but teaching life through a lens of creative history.\u201d \nDr. Mac LaCasse, whose Indian Springs tenure exceeds Cooper\u2019s \nby two years, neatly summarizes the classroom philosophy of his \ncolleague and friend. \u201cHis teaching is much more about critical \nthinking that can be used forever rather than facts and figures, which \nonly have a temporary effect.\u201d\nWhen Cooper first called roll at Indian Springs in August 1974, he \nhad no idea he was embarking on a half-century ride.\n\u201cI never thought I would be teaching at 76,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I never \nwould have guessed that at 76 I\u2019d still be teaching and not be the senior \nperson on the faculty. I\u2019m just a kid, right?\u201d\nD\nr. Cooper initially taught a 9th and 10th-grade western \nhistory cycle that he created. In the mid-1990s, he \nswitched to 10th-grade European history. In 2017, he \ncreated an 8th-grade history curriculum and began \nteaching at that level.\nThroughout the years he has led seminars and electives, often on \ndifferent topics that spark his own curiosity. \u201cHe\u2019s offered an astound-\ning variety,\u201d LaCasse says. \u201cHe has definitely not gotten into anything \nresembling a rut.\u201d\nTwo seemingly disparate things always come up in discussions about \nhow Dr. Cooper teaches history\u2014his current-events quizzes and empha-\nsis on geography. Blending them helps develop critical thinkers.\n\u201cI\u2019ve given a quote to every class since I\u2019ve been here,\u201d he says. \n\u201c\u2018History is a dialogue between the past and the present. The present \nspeaks to the past, and the past speaks to the present,\u2019 \u2013 meaning \nthat the past makes us what we are, but what we are creates how we \nunderstand the past.\u201d\nFor years, he gave students a subscription to the news magazine \n\u201cTime\u201d and tested them on each edition. On Mondays, Cooper wrote \nnumbers on the board corresponding to questions he had created. Some-\none in each class chose five, setting that week\u2019s exam. \n\u201cIt was about understanding the historical context of where we are, \nhow events unfold,\u201d says Jonathan Truelove \u201987. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can give \nhim unique credit, but a lot of it, for giving me a view of where we are at \na point in time in human history and on the planet.\u201d\nCooper hands out atlases, saying students must learn the countries, \ntheir capitals, and adjacent countries; name the oceans and seas; and \ntrace major river routes. He covers the material continent by continent, \ntesting after each. A final test encompasses the entire year. \nPapers on assigned reading also are constant companions. However, \nstudents dissatisfied with the initial grade may revise until they fix the \nflaws. He credits his wife Pam for that element of his teaching, who used \nthe method in her classes. Merely identifying a student\u2019s mistakes and \nmoving on teaches nothing, he says.\nReading assignments include traditional textbooks and literature. \u201cHe \nalways had a book related to what we were studying,\u201d Truelove says. \u201cWe \nread \u201cThe Spanish Armada\u201d when we were in the Renaissance period. \n\u201cHIS TEACHING IS MUCH MORE \nABOUT CRITICAL THINKING \nTHAT CAN BE USED FOREVER \nRATHER THAN FACTS AND \nFIGURES, WHICH ONLY HAVE A \nTEMPORARY EFFECT.\u201d\n\n--- Page 8 ---\n6\nrecalls, smiling. \u201cI don\u2019t think of myself as \u2018mean.\u2019\u201d\nOK, there was that student-made sign hanging for years over the en-\ntrance to his classroom. Written in calligraphy, it quoted Dante\u2019s inscrip-\ntion at the entrance to Hades, \u201cAbandon all hope, ye who enter here.\u201d\nAnd, as just about every Indian Springs student will affirm, he does \nnot gladly suffer the unprepared.\n\u201cHe\u2019s distressed when people don\u2019t do their work,\u201d Pam says. \u201cThey \ncan\u2019t learn if they haven\u2019t read the material. They can\u2019t contribute. They \ncan\u2019t understand what other people are contributing and evaluate it.\u201d\nCooper stories are legendary. People had to stand during class if they \nwere late. He would kick you out and make you take notes at the win-\ndow. Those he called on who were obviously unprepared got a grilling.\n\u201cHe was tough on students who didn\u2019t do their reading,\u201d says Battles. \n\u201cHe could be ruthless, but not in a mean way. More of a fact-based \u2018get \nyour (act) together\u2019 way. I do feel his bark was bigger than his bite.\u201d\nHe acknowledges throwing erasers at one student whose mind often \nwandered. \u201cBut he liked it,\u201d says Cooper, who no longer uses erasers for \nany purpose. \u201cYou can do that if it\u2019s a student who will sort of bond with \nyou when you do that kind of thing to get their attention.\u201d\nIn today\u2019s classroom, Cooper is more \u201cDr. Cooper-Lite.\u201d As LaCasse \nput it, \u201cHe has somewhat mellowed over the years.\u201d\nLong before their first class with their dad, Jesanna and Keir heard all \nthe horror stories.\n\u201cEverybody was scared of him,\u201d Jesanna says. \u201cHe\u2019s not scary. My moth-\ner\u2019s the scary one in the family. He\u2019s a softie.\u201d\nCooper hears the tales, too. \u201cI sometimes tell parents at the beginning \nof the year \u2018I can\u2019t promise your child will like my class. But I can promise \nyour child will remember my class.\u2019\u201d\n  \nR\nobert Alan Cooper grew up in Queens, New York, the \nfirst in his working-class family to attend college. He \ncaught the history bug by reading books about World \nWar II collected by his father, whose combat service \nincluded Guadalcanal. His father would say he wanted to learn the big \npicture after his experience as a single soldier.\nCooper comes from a line of storytellers. \u201cThere was an oral tradi-\ntion,\u201d he says. \u201cI grew up hearing stories of my family. And I share a lot of \nthose with my classes\u2014\u2018The second time my father killed somebody\u2026\u2019\u201d \nTeaching is not just lecturing. That\u2019s why I tell lots of anecdotes in class. \nIt gives them a context to remember things.\u201d\nHe considered a math major but a professor changed his thinking. \n\u201cHe said, \u2018Mathematicians know mathematics, and political scientists \nknow politics. But historians know everything.\u2019 What historians do is fit \npieces together and see the complexity of it all. That appealed to me.\u201d\nCooper and Pam met during graduate school at the University of \nNorth Carolina and married in Atlanta, where she was then teaching.\nWith jobs for historians evaporating in a bad economy, Cooper \ndecided his best course was teaching. He mailed 500 applications. Indian \nSprings was one of two respondents.\nA New Yorker with a noticeable accent, moving to the Deep \nSouth in the early 1970s was jolting. In a college history class, he \nhappened to sit next to Andrew Goodman. In Mississippi that \nsummer, Goodman and fellow civil-rights advocates James Chaney \nand Michael Schwerner were murdered by Klansmen, a pivotal \nevent in the 1960s movement.\nIndian Springs was an oasis \u2013 physically because it was so isolated \nthen, and intellectually. But when the Coopers registered to vote, \nWe read \u201cCandide\u201d when we were studying the Enlightenment. Every six \nweeks we wrote a paper, based on the book.\u201d\nCooper says he\u2019s fortunate to have latitude in teaching. \u201cOne of the \nbest things about this school is I can be innovative. I invented things as I \nwent along, role-playing sorts of stuff.\u201d\nHe created a news bureau concept for his 8th-grade classes. As they \nstudy each continent, students present a show with news from nations \nthere. \u201cI just woke up one morning and said, \u2018Hey, why don\u2019t we try \nthat?\u2019 You can do that here.\u201d \nIn another concept, \u201cMeeting of the Minds,\u201d 10th-grade students \nstudied a historical figure and dressed like that person for talk-show-style \npresentations. \u201cThey have to become that person, to think about the \npsychology of that person,\u201d Cooper says.\nHe questions each character, challenging them with curveballs. But \nmainly it\u2019s a fun way to learn. The top mark is a check-plus.\nBattles vividly recalls playing a depraved Roman emperor for Meeting \nof the Minds. \u201cHe encouraged thinking out of the box,\u201d she says. \u201cI was \none of the biggest goody-two-shoes to go through that school in the \u201880s. \nSo, I thought I\u2019d shock him and be Caligula.\u201d\nShe created an idol using a Ken doll, which she painted gold and \ndressed in a toga. \u201cCaligula\u201d wore a toga, too. \u201cI made this whole to-do, \n\u2018You must pray to the Ken-doll Caligula because I am a god and I am \nyour ruler,\u2019\u201d she says.\nOne of Cooper\u2019s questions stumped the faux emperor. \u201cI started chas-\ntising him for being irreverent and rude and said, \u2018You need to come up \nand kiss the idol right now because you\u2019re (angering) Caligula,\u2019\u201d she says. \n\u201cHe just laughed and laughed and laughed.

As infants, Jesan-\nna and Keir would be in their safety seats in the center of the table at a \ntime when students sat with faculty in the dining hall. On weekends, the \nCoopers would pack the car with their children and students for a movie \nor field trip to Montevallo.\nLife on campus as a faculty kid was idyllic. Keir recalls playing bas-\nketball with his dad and attending games at the gym. Summers meant \nfamily time spent swimming in the lake. \u201cYou\u2019ve got acres and acres to \nroam and explore,\u201d Jesanna adds. \u201cWe went outside and didn\u2019t see our \nparents for 12 hours.\u201d\nThe siblings attended public schools before starting at Indian Springs \nin the 8th grade. Jesanna played soccer and basketball, and Keir was on \nthe basketball, soccer, and baseball teams. Keir is now a basketball coach \nat Indian Springs; his dad regularly rides the bus to away games, talking \nhoops with his son.\nThe Cooper family regularly ate at the dining hall on evenings and \nweekends. But Jesanna also joined her dad daily for lunch during her 9th-\ngrade year when her dad was diagnosed with cancer.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think any other faculty child has done that with their parent,\u201d \nhe says. \u201cIt was a bad time for her, and being together was really import-\nant for both of us.\u201d\nJust as her dad had been told to follow his bucket list, making the \nmost of any remaining time topped Jesanna\u2019s priorities.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t know how much longer I\u2019d have him around,\u201d she says. \u201cI was \ntaking every single one of his classes. I thought, \u2018If he wants me to be on \nAcademic Decathlon, I\u2019ll be on Academic Decathlon.\u2019\u201d\nF\nor nearly a quarter-century, Cooper led or co-led the \nschool\u2019s Academic Decathlon and Scholars\u2019 Bowl teams. \nThis illustrates his dedication to Indian Springs students \nand his competitive nature.\nAcademic Decathlon, which Cooper and LaCasse co-coached, was \nthe more demanding. Indian Springs\u2019 team won the state competition \nannually from 1988-1998, disbanding when other state schools quit \nparticipating. In the nationals, it rose as high as fifth place.\nCooper initially coached the Scholars\u2019 Bowl team solo, later teaming \nwith LaCasse. Indian Springs regularly ranked among the top in the \nnation during a 20-plus year run, ranking as high as third.\n\u201cPeople feared Indian Springs,\u201d LaCasse says.\nScholars\u2019 Bowl was proposed in the mid-1980s by the late Joel Shin \n\u201986, who stoked the fire by pointing out that Mountain Brook High \nSchool recently won the state competition and competed nationally.\nFrom the beginning, Indian Springs dominated in the \u201cJeopardy\u201d-like \ntest of general knowledge. The inaugural team seized the state title, losing \nin the nationals by a single question to the ultimate champion.\n\u201cWe had four trivia nerds,\u201d says Truelove, a member of that team. \n\u201cWe did OK.\u201d\nThe Scholars\u2019 Bowl team and coaches traveled weekends through the \nsoutheast to at least two competitions monthly. The national meets also \ntook them out of state.\nFor practices, LaCasse and Cooper pitted the team against one teach-\ner, while the other asked questions. \u201cThe students really liked to beat us, \nfor sure,\u201d LaCasse says. \u201cThe best thing they could ever do is to answer a \nquestion better and faster.\u201d\nWhere Scholars\u2019 Bowl was brainy fun, the Academic Decathlon was \nrigorous. Teams were scored in 10 categories, including speech, social \nstudies, and science. Students also took a \u201csuper quiz\u201d on a rotating topic.\nCooper and LaCasse met with the team on Sunday afternoons, drill-\ning them on the topics and advising how to refine their speeches. It was \nlike taking an extra curriculum, Cooper says.\nAnother twist was teams must include three students with \u201cA\u201d averag-\nes, three with \u201cB\u201d averages, and three with \u201cC\u201d averages. Jesanna, now a \nBirmingham-based OB-GYN and birthing-safety advocate, was one of \nthe \u201cB\u201d students.\n\u201cWe had an advantage over a lot of schools,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cWe had \nNational Merit Scholar finalists who were \u201cC\u201d students.\u201d\nOver the years, Cooper and LaCasse have enjoyed facing off in chess, \ntennis, and sometimes basketball. That competitive bent extended to \nAcademic Decathlon and Scholars\u2019 Bowl.\n\u201cWhen we\u2019d lose a tough one, I would have trouble sleeping that \nnight,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cIt\u2019s the same about teaching, wanting to be the best \nat what you do. Some people don\u2019t care about that. But it matters to me.\u201d\nC\nooper and his family are woven into the fabric of Indian \nSprings School.\n\u201cYou can\u2019t be here for 50 years and not have impacted \nthe lives of generations,\u201d Schamberger says. \u201cFamilies \nintentionally make decisions on when they start their kids at Springs, \njust so they can have Cooper in the 8th grade and have the same sort of \nexperiences they had.\u201d\nAs far as Schamberger is concerned when to retire is Cooper\u2019s call. \n\u201cI think he\u2019s still at the top of his game,\u201d the head of school says. \u201cBob\u2019s \ngoing to be the one who, the moment he feels a decline, has enough \nforethought to say, \u2018It\u2019s time to hang \u2018em up.\u2019\u201d\nWhen asked about retirement, Cooper shares his dream denouement. \nHe taught his grandson, Will Morris \u201927, in 8th grade last year. Jesanna\u2019s \nyounger child, Elizabeth, hopes to take his 8th-grade class next year. \nKeir\u2019s daughter, Maya, will be an 8th grader in the fall of 2025.\n\u201cThen I will have taught all my grandchildren,\u201d says Cooper, aka \nGrandBob. \u201cThat would be cool. It\u2019s something not too many parents \nget to experience and grandparents even less.\u201d\nKeir says Maya is equally enthusiastic. \u201cShe\u2019s heard a lot of the stories \nthat my dad tells,\u201d Keir says. \u201cBeing able to do that in class with him every \nday would be really exciting for her.\u201d\nAnd then, who knows? Cooper says he\u2019s content sticking with his \nbucket list.\n\u201cI love coming to work,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll tell you, a lot of my identity \nand sense of worth is my teaching.\u201d\nIt will be a tough call.\n\u201cMaybe if I did give it up, I\u2019d be incredibly happy and all,\u201d Cooper \nsays. \u201cBut it\u2019s hard to imagine.\u201d      \nIndian Springs\n \u201cDR.

Next to the \nlate school archivist Mac Fleming, Kathryn knows \nIndian Springs\u2019 4,000+ alums better than anyone.\nQ: What initially brought you to Indian Springs?\nA: My daughter, Gisele Crowe, was the development \ndirector at Indian Springs and offered me a part-time \nposition adding data to the school\u2019s database. For a few \nmonths, I worked in the evenings from 6:00 to 9:00 \nuntil a full-time position became available. I applied and \nwas awarded the job.\nQ: What kept you here?\nA: I loved everything about my job. The campus. The \nlake. The faculty living on campus. The lunches in the \ndining hall. The lasting friendships. The gift of love \nreceived from so many of the faculty, staff, parents, \nstudents, and alums over the years. I loved seeing the \nstudents on campus; they brought so much joy to our \nlives. I loved the intricacies of the job: searching for \nalums on Google, Facebook, Linked In, and so many \nother websites.

Mac \nFleming: a true gentleman to the core who helped me \ntremendously over the years. Thank you, Mr. Fleming.\nQ: How did you change over your years with Indian \nSprings?\nA: I\u2019m probably more of an extrovert than I was \nwhen I first started, and I certainly know many, many \nKathryn \nD\u2019Arcy\n16 Years of Service\nworthwhile and to go \u2018all in.\u2019 \nI needed to do it for myself, \nto make the decisions for \nmyself. It was so liberating \nto find out in the early days \nthat things could be that \nway. I got to do things I \nnever would have been able \nto do otherwise. It gave me \nthe confidence to create a \ndifferent life for myself and \nmy kids. And I got a son-in-\nlaw along the way.\nQ: Tell us about your time \nliving on campus.\nA: During the years I was \non campus, I was probably \nin somebody\u2019s house [other \nmembers of the faculty \nand staff ] almost every \nday. There was a fluid \nneighborhood feeling that \nif somebody had an idea \nto do something, we all \ndid it together. A group of \nus went somewhere every \nFriday night for early drinks \nand dinner. We took walks \ntogether after dinner. A \ngroup of women went to \nthe beach together every \nsummer for 15 years. There \nwas just a feeling that if \nsomething happened, those \npeople would be there, and \nyou could be there for them.\nQ: What events stand out \nin your memories of Indian \nSprings?\nA: It is hard to separate \nfamily life from work life \nbecause the two were one in \nthe same. My children\u2019s own \ngraduations. Megan and \nCayce\u2019s wedding at the Hut. \nChoir Tours\u2014I probably \nwent on 25 or 26 of them. \nTheatre performances in the \nHut. The first soccer state \nchampionship. Seeing the \ncampus change.\nmore people than I did then. I know a great deal more \ntechnologically. I am smarter. You have to be when \nyou\u2019re surrounded by the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me as we were \nat Indian Springs.\nQ: What are your plans for retirement?\nA: To check as many items as possible off my bucket \nlist. In August, I did a cruise to Alaska, and it was every \nbit as beautiful as I hoped it would be. I visited British \nColumbia also, and in October, I\u2019m traveling back to \ntwo of my homes: Miami, where I lived for 22 years, \nand  Trinidad and Tobago, where I was born and from \nwhich I emigrated when I was 21. Soon, I will be seeing \nAustria (Salzburg and Vienna), then on to Italy and \nSwitzerland (Lake Lugano), and of course, to Jolly Olde \nEngland (Hi, Colin!), as well as trips in the United \nStates to see the parks, mountains, monuments, and \nbuildings of which we are rightly proud. Next year, I \nintend to take college courses in some of my favorite \nsubjects: history, literature, and languages.

As you will see \nin the following pages, Indian Springs alums, parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends \ndonated over $4,000,000 to a variety of critical priorities, from the annual fund to the Community \nCommons capital campaign. Your giving has literally transformed our school, so we thank the 730 \nindividual donors who gave over 1,700 gifts this past year to help us continue to enhance the unique \nexperience we provide for our students.\nOur Board of Governors, Alumni Council, and Parents Association leadership achieved 100% \nparticipation again this year in their philanthropic support for Indian Springs. Over 90% of our cur-\nrent faculty and staff also supported Indian Springs with a gift, along with impressive participation \nfrom a number of reunion classes and the senior parent gift initiative. Your collective support for \nthe annual fund, which accounts for nearly 10% of the school\u2019s operating budget; the Kayser-Sam-\nford Community Commons campaign, which has vastly improved the Indian Springs community\u2019s \ndining and social experience; and gifts in support of financial aid continue to make the school \nstronger and leaves a visible impact. A number of significant bequests were also realized this year \nfrom members of the Indian Springs Legacy Society, so we thank those alums and their families for \nthis lasting support.\nBuilding on this current school year\u2019s theme of \u201cinvolvement,\u201d I hope every member of the broad-\ner Indian Springs family will consider ways to help make our school a better place. There are many \nopportunities to support the school above and beyond giving, though we hope our community will \nalways consider renewing or increasing their gifts. Alums, stay tuned for more information on next \nspring\u2019s Development Day project or opportunities to share your wisdom on campus. Parents, thank \nyou to the dozens of families who have signed up with the Parents Association to volunteer address-\ning a variety of important needs. We appreciate everything that all of you do. And to all our friends \nwhose financial support helps Indian Springs be a better place, thank you.\nEverything the advancement office accomplishes, and indeed the entire school, would not be \npossible without the volunteers who make events like our annual Harvest Market a success. Volun-\nteers also come out to support our residential life program, the arts, athletics, admissions, and many \nlocally hosted alumni events. We appreciate all you do for Indian Springs. A special thank you to \nour advancement team, but a tribute needs to be extended to Kathryn D\u2019Arcy, who recently retired \nafter 16 years of service to Indian Springs. Kathryn was really the heart and soul of our advancement \nteam and, for many donors, was a primary point of contact as she was responsible for acknowledging \nall gifts and pledges to our school. She leaves a void (along with big shoes to fill), but we wish her \nwell in the next chapter of her life and welcome Edina Shrestha P \u201922, \u201923, who will be taking up \nmany of Kathryn\u2019s responsibilities.\nThank you again to the Indian Springs family for your support and confidence in the school.\n\n--- Page 23 ---\n21\nIndian Springs\n  \ng  Salaries & Benefits\ng  Operations &  \n     Maintenance \ng  Dining,  \n    Transportation &\n     Other Services\ng  Instructional & \n    Student Activities\ng  Financial Aid\ng  General &  \n    Administrative\nUSES OF  \nOPER AT ING FU NDS\nFINANCI AL STATE M E NTS\nJ u l y 1 , 2 0 2 2 \u2014 J u n e 3 0 , 2 0 2 3\nFU N DR A I SI NG\nANNUAL FUND &  \nANNUAL FUND RESTRICTED 2022-2023\nAnnual Fund \u2013 Unrestricted\t\n\b\n$624,723\nAnnual Fund \u2013 Restricted\t\n\b\n$157,992\nTotal \t\n\b\n$782,715\nRESTRICTED & OTHER GIFTS 2022-2023\nTotal\t\n\b\n$3,222,265\nTotal Giving \t\n\t\n\t\n         $4,004,981\nOPER AT I N G STATEMEN T\nI N C O M E\nTuition and Fees \t\n\b\n$12,268,930\nAnnual Fund & Other Gifts \n      (adjusted for multiyear pledges)      $800,764\nTotal Income\b\n$13,069,694\nEndowment Draw\t\n\b\n$597,681\nE X P E N S E S\nSalaries & Benefits\b\n$6,273,770\nFinancial Aid\b\n$2,362,197\nInstructional & Student Activities\b\n$542,751\nDining, Transportation & Other Services\n\b\n$1,292,097\nOperations & Maintenance\b\n$1,156,571\nGeneral & Administrative\b\n$1,537,534\nTotal Expenses\b\n$13,164,920\nS O U R CES OF  \nOPER AT ING FU ND S\ng  Tuition & Fees\ng  Annual Fund & Other Gifts\ng  Endowment Draw\n\n--- Page 24 ---\nOOO\nDIRECTORS\u2019 DINNER 2025\nndian Springs is grateful for our leadership ai all ie\ndonors whose generosity accounts for so fe \u2019 al UA ~s o~\nmuch of the funds raised each year for the bas _, J ; 4 < We . : \u2014_ \\ lle\nAnnual Fund and capital giving priorities.

While the \nclass mourned their friends\u2019 passing at their 55th \nreunion last spring, Wayne\u2019s and Bucky\u2019s memory \nwas celebrated due to their both having left generous \nbequests to Indian Springs School. As one of the \nschool\u2019s most philanthropic classes, the Class of 1968 \nhas already funded an endowed scholarship and, \nmore recently, generously named the bell encasement \nin the new Kayser-Samford Community Commons. \nWayne\u2019s and Bucky\u2019s bequests benefited both of those \nfundraising efforts. \nMartin Damsky \u201968 remembered his classmates \nfondly and emphasized they were both consistent \ndonors before the school received their bequests: \n\u201cBucky was always very quiet and reserved, \nsomewhat shy,\u201d Martin said. \u201cHe was a regular donor \nto the annual fund...when I was trying to contact him \nfor our 50th reunion five years ago, he replied how \nmuch he missed ISS and his classmates, but it was \njust too far to travel,\u201d Martin recalled. \u201cI don\u2019t know \nof anyone who ever had a bad word to say about \nWayne. He was certainly among the most respected \nand liked in our class....the consummate gentleman. \nTheir generosity greatly helped the Class of \u201968 make \na major donation to the Community Commons \nCampaign to dedicate the encasement for the bell.\u201d\nIf you have already remembered Indian Springs \nSchool in your estate plans, please let us know so \nthat we may list you with the other alumni, parents, \nand friends    whose names are currently listed in our \nLegacy Society.

Our talented \nstudents engage with passionate educators on a daily basis in pursuit of their love of \nlearning. Our parents trust in the process and journey of an Indian Springs education, \nsupporting their students and the school through the trials and tribulations of adolescence. Our \nalumni community and friends remain involved and ensure the ability of faculty and staff to live out \nthe School\u2019s mission. As much as I am thankful for the tremendous campus and facilities that we \nenjoy, I am most grateful for the relationships that bind the Indian Springs community together.\nThis past summer was one of the most enjoyable I\u2019ve had in my professional life. Although \nit would be difficult to characterize the summer of 2023 as relaxing and rejuvenating, I can \nwholeheartedly say it re-ignited my own passion for learning and further cemented my love of the \nIndian Springs School community. Shortly after graduation, I boarded an airplane bound for Seoul \nwith Assistant Head of School for Advancement and External Affairs Jim Simon. After repeated \nattempts over the last two years, we were able to travel overseas to South Korea and China. With \nstops in Seoul, Shanghai, and Beijing, we visited with current students, alums, and their extended \nfamilies. Although I had been to both countries several times, this trip was different. It was \nincredible to meet these members of the Springs community in their home countries. We received \na warm welcome along each of our stops. I was struck by how proud our students and alums were \nto have us visiting and to show off a little bit of their respective cultures and hometowns. I look \nforward to continuing to travel near and far to hear from and interact with our students and alumni \nin the weeks, months, and years ahead.\nTwo days after I returned from Asia, I found myself on another long-haul flight overseas. This \ntime to Israel, courtesy of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) for their inaugural Independent \nSchool Heads program. With nine other heads of school from some of the finest independent \nschools from all across the US, I spent a week in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Ramallah, and various other \nstops around Israel and Palestine to meet with political, educational, religious, and business leaders. \nI was gratified that Indian Springs was included in this trip, with schools from New York City, \nAtlanta, Boston, Chicago, LA, and San Francisco also well represented, particularly when we \nstumbled upon the Alabama Store in Jerusalem. The others were surprised to see just how profound \nof an impact our great state has on the world. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and timely, \ngiven all that is transpiring in that part of the world. I am devastated by the images and stories \nrecounted on the evening news, and am keeping everyone in the Indian Springs community and \nacross the globe who have been impacted in my thoughts and prayers. Although I left that trip with \nmore questions than answers, I am grateful for the gracious hospitality I received. Even when the \nhelicopter I was traveling in needed to make an unplanned landing in the field of an Israeli farmer, \nwe were greeted with a warm welcome and a kind offer to join him for coffee when he should \nhave been upset with us for damaging his crops. This is a reminder to me that despite everything \nhappening in the world, human connections and kindness are powerful and transformative.  \nSpeaking of powerful and transformative, I would be remiss not to mention that the 2023-2024 \nschool year marks the 50th for Dr. Bob Cooper at Indian Springs. The impact Bob Cooper has had \non Indian Springs and our students, past and present, has been profound. Whether you earned the \nelusive A or a C on a Cooper paper, I am confident that our students and alums are stronger writers, \nmore critical thinkers, and better human beings because of Dr. Cooper. Please join me in celebrating \n50 years of Cooper at Springs.\nI wish the extended Indian Springs family a happy holiday season and a wonderful new year.\n\n--- Page 6 ---\n4\n50 \nY E A R S O F  \nEXCELLENCE \nIN TEACHING \n\u2014\u2014 with   \u2014\u2014\nBOB  \nCOOPER\nBY ERIC VELASCO P \u201923\nDr. Bob Cooper in the \nclassroom October 2023.\n\n--- Page 7 ---\n5\nIndian Springs\nT\nhe prognosis was grim in 1990 when Dr. Robert Cooper \nwas diagnosed with colon cancer.\nIt was bucket-list time, the oncologist told Cooper, \nthen in his 17th year teaching history at Indian Springs \nSchool. If there was something he really wanted to do in life, do it now.\nBack home on campus, he recounted his reply to his wife, Pam \nCooper, daughter Jesanna Cooper \u201994\u2014then a 9th grader and athlete \nat Indian Springs\u2014and son, Keir Cooper \u201998, a future Indian Springs \nstudent, athlete, and coach.\n\u201cI want to do what I\u2019m doing,\u201d he said. \u201cIf this is the end, what I \nchoose to do is come to Indian Springs and teach my students every day, \nand go to my children\u2019s soccer games.\u201d\nFollowing surgery around Thanksgiving of that year, he returned to \nthe classroom in January, challenging teens to think critically and distin-\nguish fact from bias. Wracked by chemotherapy, he was violently ill day \nand night, including in class.\n\u201cHe kept a big garbage sack in the corner, and he would go back and \nvomit,\u201d says Pam, herself a retired public school educator. \u201cThen he\u2019d go \nback to the lectern and keep teaching. You talk about perseverance and \ndesire. They broke the mold with Bob Cooper.\u201d\nCancer is long gone, and Cooper now celebrates his 50th year in \nthe classroom at Indian Springs School, where the family has also \nresided since 1974.\nFor decades, every Indian Springs student has taken at least one class \nfrom Cooper. He\u2019s educated generations of alumni; he\u2019s even taught two \ngenerations of his own family.\n\u201cThe students now in my elective, half of them I taught their parents,\u201d \nCooper says. \u201cThere\u2019s something nice about that.\u201d\nHe has led and co-led student teams to national prominence in \nacademic competitions. Seminars on \u201cWar and Peace,\u201d his favorite \nbook, are fabled. One Thanksgiving weekend, students gathered at the \nCoopers\u2019 home to binge all 26 hours of the BBC adaptation of Leo \nTolstoy\u2019s classic.\nHe exerts that kind of gravitational pull. \nOne day in the mid-1980s, he mentioned needing a lectern. Students \ncalling themselves the \u201cDr. Bob Fan Club\u201d built one, giving it a psyche-\ndelic paint job. Others added adornments over the years. When the \nlectern teetered, students rebuilt it. \u201cDr. Bob\u201d still uses it.\nCooper keeps up with scores of former students, sending birthday \ngreetings via Facebook. He\u2019s a draw at alumni functions.\n\u201cThey come en masse to see Dr. Cooper,\u201d says Scott Schamberger, \ncurrent head of school at Indian Springs. \u201cYou don\u2019t do that if there \nwasn\u2019t a meaningful connection and personal transformation you went \nthrough in his class.\u201d\nKelly Bodnar Battles \u201985 is a graduate of Princeton University and \nHarvard Business School. But of all her professors and mentors, a high \nschool history teacher has had the biggest impact, she says. \n\u201cDr. Cooper is the type of person who changes people\u2019s lives,\u201d says \nBattles, who also discussed his influence in a 2022 podcast on leadership. \n\u201cHe opened the aperture of my world. And he did it not just teaching \nhistory, but teaching life through a lens of creative history.\u201d \nDr. Mac LaCasse, whose Indian Springs tenure exceeds Cooper\u2019s \nby two years, neatly summarizes the classroom philosophy of his \ncolleague and friend. \u201cHis teaching is much more about critical \nthinking that can be used forever rather than facts and figures, which \nonly have a temporary effect.\u201d\nWhen Cooper first called roll at Indian Springs in August 1974, he \nhad no idea he was embarking on a half-century ride.\n\u201cI never thought I would be teaching at 76,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I never \nwould have guessed that at 76 I\u2019d still be teaching and not be the senior \nperson on the faculty. I\u2019m just a kid, right?\u201d\nD\nr. Cooper initially taught a 9th and 10th-grade western \nhistory cycle that he created. In the mid-1990s, he \nswitched to 10th-grade European history. In 2017, he \ncreated an 8th-grade history curriculum and began \nteaching at that level.\nThroughout the years he has led seminars and electives, often on \ndifferent topics that spark his own curiosity. \u201cHe\u2019s offered an astound-\ning variety,\u201d LaCasse says. \u201cHe has definitely not gotten into anything \nresembling a rut.\u201d\nTwo seemingly disparate things always come up in discussions about \nhow Dr. Cooper teaches history\u2014his current-events quizzes and empha-\nsis on geography. Blending them helps develop critical thinkers.\n\u201cI\u2019ve given a quote to every class since I\u2019ve been here,\u201d he says. \n\u201c\u2018History is a dialogue between the past and the present. The present \nspeaks to the past, and the past speaks to the present,\u2019 \u2013 meaning \nthat the past makes us what we are, but what we are creates how we \nunderstand the past.\u201d\nFor years, he gave students a subscription to the news magazine \n\u201cTime\u201d and tested them on each edition. On Mondays, Cooper wrote \nnumbers on the board corresponding to questions he had created. Some-\none in each class chose five, setting that week\u2019s exam. \n\u201cIt was about understanding the historical context of where we are, \nhow events unfold,\u201d says Jonathan Truelove \u201987. \u201cI don\u2019t think I can give \nhim unique credit, but a lot of it, for giving me a view of where we are at \na point in time in human history and on the planet.\u201d\nCooper hands out atlases, saying students must learn the countries, \ntheir capitals, and adjacent countries; name the oceans and seas; and \ntrace major river routes. He covers the material continent by continent, \ntesting after each. A final test encompasses the entire year. \nPapers on assigned reading also are constant companions. However, \nstudents dissatisfied with the initial grade may revise until they fix the \nflaws. He credits his wife Pam for that element of his teaching, who used \nthe method in her classes. Merely identifying a student\u2019s mistakes and \nmoving on teaches nothing, he says.\nReading assignments include traditional textbooks and literature. \u201cHe \nalways had a book related to what we were studying,\u201d Truelove says. \u201cWe \nread \u201cThe Spanish Armada\u201d when we were in the Renaissance period. \n\u201cHIS TEACHING IS MUCH MORE \nABOUT CRITICAL THINKING \nTHAT CAN BE USED FOREVER \nRATHER THAN FACTS AND \nFIGURES, WHICH ONLY HAVE A \nTEMPORARY EFFECT.\u201d\n\n--- Page 8 ---\n6\nrecalls, smiling. \u201cI don\u2019t think of myself as \u2018mean.\u2019\u201d\nOK, there was that student-made sign hanging for years over the en-\ntrance to his classroom. Written in calligraphy, it quoted Dante\u2019s inscrip-\ntion at the entrance to Hades, \u201cAbandon all hope, ye who enter here.\u201d\nAnd, as just about every Indian Springs student will affirm, he does \nnot gladly suffer the unprepared.\n\u201cHe\u2019s distressed when people don\u2019t do their work,\u201d Pam says. \u201cThey \ncan\u2019t learn if they haven\u2019t read the material. They can\u2019t contribute. They \ncan\u2019t understand what other people are contributing and evaluate it.\u201d\nCooper stories are legendary. People had to stand during class if they \nwere late. He would kick you out and make you take notes at the win-\ndow. Those he called on who were obviously unprepared got a grilling.\n\u201cHe was tough on students who didn\u2019t do their reading,\u201d says Battles. \n\u201cHe could be ruthless, but not in a mean way. More of a fact-based \u2018get \nyour (act) together\u2019 way. I do feel his bark was bigger than his bite.\u201d\nHe acknowledges throwing erasers at one student whose mind often \nwandered. \u201cBut he liked it,\u201d says Cooper, who no longer uses erasers for \nany purpose. \u201cYou can do that if it\u2019s a student who will sort of bond with \nyou when you do that kind of thing to get their attention.\u201d\nIn today\u2019s classroom, Cooper is more \u201cDr. Cooper-Lite.\u201d As LaCasse \nput it, \u201cHe has somewhat mellowed over the years.\u201d\nLong before their first class with their dad, Jesanna and Keir heard all \nthe horror stories.\n\u201cEverybody was scared of him,\u201d Jesanna says. \u201cHe\u2019s not scary. My moth-\ner\u2019s the scary one in the family. He\u2019s a softie.\u201d\nCooper hears the tales, too. \u201cI sometimes tell parents at the beginning \nof the year \u2018I can\u2019t promise your child will like my class. But I can promise \nyour child will remember my class.\u2019\u201d\n  \nR\nobert Alan Cooper grew up in Queens, New York, the \nfirst in his working-class family to attend college. He \ncaught the history bug by reading books about World \nWar II collected by his father, whose combat service \nincluded Guadalcanal. His father would say he wanted to learn the big \npicture after his experience as a single soldier.\nCooper comes from a line of storytellers. \u201cThere was an oral tradi-\ntion,\u201d he says. \u201cI grew up hearing stories of my family. And I share a lot of \nthose with my classes\u2014\u2018The second time my father killed somebody\u2026\u2019\u201d \nTeaching is not just lecturing. That\u2019s why I tell lots of anecdotes in class. \nIt gives them a context to remember things.\u201d\nHe considered a math major but a professor changed his thinking. \n\u201cHe said, \u2018Mathematicians know mathematics, and political scientists \nknow politics. But historians know everything.\u2019 What historians do is fit \npieces together and see the complexity of it all. That appealed to me.\u201d\nCooper and Pam met during graduate school at the University of \nNorth Carolina and married in Atlanta, where she was then teaching.\nWith jobs for historians evaporating in a bad economy, Cooper \ndecided his best course was teaching. He mailed 500 applications. Indian \nSprings was one of two respondents.\nA New Yorker with a noticeable accent, moving to the Deep \nSouth in the early 1970s was jolting. In a college history class, he \nhappened to sit next to Andrew Goodman. In Mississippi that \nsummer, Goodman and fellow civil-rights advocates James Chaney \nand Michael Schwerner were murdered by Klansmen, a pivotal \nevent in the 1960s movement.\nIndian Springs was an oasis \u2013 physically because it was so isolated \nthen, and intellectually. But when the Coopers registered to vote, \nWe read \u201cCandide\u201d when we were studying the Enlightenment. Every six \nweeks we wrote a paper, based on the book.\u201d\nCooper says he\u2019s fortunate to have latitude in teaching. \u201cOne of the \nbest things about this school is I can be innovative. I invented things as I \nwent along, role-playing sorts of stuff.\u201d\nHe created a news bureau concept for his 8th-grade classes. As they \nstudy each continent, students present a show with news from nations \nthere. \u201cI just woke up one morning and said, \u2018Hey, why don\u2019t we try \nthat?\u2019 You can do that here.\u201d \nIn another concept, \u201cMeeting of the Minds,\u201d 10th-grade students \nstudied a historical figure and dressed like that person for talk-show-style \npresentations. \u201cThey have to become that person, to think about the \npsychology of that person,\u201d Cooper says.\nHe questions each character, challenging them with curveballs. But \nmainly it\u2019s a fun way to learn. The top mark is a check-plus.\nBattles vividly recalls playing a depraved Roman emperor for Meeting \nof the Minds. \u201cHe encouraged thinking out of the box,\u201d she says. \u201cI was \none of the biggest goody-two-shoes to go through that school in the \u201880s. \nSo, I thought I\u2019d shock him and be Caligula.\u201d\nShe created an idol using a Ken doll, which she painted gold and \ndressed in a toga. \u201cCaligula\u201d wore a toga, too. \u201cI made this whole to-do, \n\u2018You must pray to the Ken-doll Caligula because I am a god and I am \nyour ruler,\u2019\u201d she says.\nOne of Cooper\u2019s questions stumped the faux emperor. \u201cI started chas-\ntising him for being irreverent and rude and said, \u2018You need to come up \nand kiss the idol right now because you\u2019re (angering) Caligula,\u2019\u201d she says. \n\u201cHe just laughed and laughed and laughed. And I got a check-plus.\u201d\nBattles gave her Ken-Caligula idol to Cooper, who kept the memento \nin his office for years.\n\u201cSo, what does this say about Dr. Cooper?\u201d she says. \u201cOne, he brings \nhistory to life. Two, he rewards creativity. And three, he makes real \nconnections with his students. The fact he kept that Caligula doll, that \nwas meaningful. He cares. Even when he was pissed at us and being \ncurmudgeonly, it came from a good place.\u201d\nD\nemanding and rigorous\u2014curmudgeonly when pro-\nvoked, Cooper can be intimidating.\n\u201cHe has this aura, this reputation,\u201d says Schamberg-\ner. \u201cI always joke that on alumni weekends, they have \nt-shirts that say, \u2018I Survived Cooper.\u2019\u201d\nWhen Cooper proposed his current teaching role, the former \nhead of school enthusiastically embraced the idea, and not just for its \nacademic potential.\n\u201cThey said, \u2018We need some meanness for the 8th grade,\u2019\u201d Cooper \n\u201cI SOMETIMES TELL PARENTS AT \nTHE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR \n\u2018I CAN\u2019T PROMISE YOUR CHILD \nWILL LIKE MY CLASS. BUT I CAN \nPROMISE YOUR CHILD WILL \nREMEMBER MY CLASS.\u2019\u201d\nFall 2023\n\n--- Page 9 ---\n4 il\n. ta , m= - '\nPe h hd YF \u2018fy . 4 y SS\" ee _ ; \u00ab ave te A\nDg Be i, ae ES \u2018> fen eo. eee See?

As infants, Jesan-\nna and Keir would be in their safety seats in the center of the table at a \ntime when students sat with faculty in the dining hall. On weekends, the \nCoopers would pack the car with their children and students for a movie \nor field trip to Montevallo.\nLife on campus as a faculty kid was idyllic. Keir recalls playing bas-\nketball with his dad and attending games at the gym. Summers meant \nfamily time spent swimming in the lake. \u201cYou\u2019ve got acres and acres to \nroam and explore,\u201d Jesanna adds. \u201cWe went outside and didn\u2019t see our \nparents for 12 hours.\u201d\nThe siblings attended public schools before starting at Indian Springs \nin the 8th grade. Jesanna played soccer and basketball, and Keir was on \nthe basketball, soccer, and baseball teams. Keir is now a basketball coach \nat Indian Springs; his dad regularly rides the bus to away games, talking \nhoops with his son.\nThe Cooper family regularly ate at the dining hall on evenings and \nweekends. But Jesanna also joined her dad daily for lunch during her 9th-\ngrade year when her dad was diagnosed with cancer.\n\u201cI don\u2019t think any other faculty child has done that with their parent,\u201d \nhe says. \u201cIt was a bad time for her, and being together was really import-\nant for both of us.\u201d\nJust as her dad had been told to follow his bucket list, making the \nmost of any remaining time topped Jesanna\u2019s priorities.\n\u201cI didn\u2019t know how much longer I\u2019d have him around,\u201d she says. \u201cI was \ntaking every single one of his classes. I thought, \u2018If he wants me to be on \nAcademic Decathlon, I\u2019ll be on Academic Decathlon.\u2019\u201d\nF\nor nearly a quarter-century, Cooper led or co-led the \nschool\u2019s Academic Decathlon and Scholars\u2019 Bowl teams. \nThis illustrates his dedication to Indian Springs students \nand his competitive nature.\nAcademic Decathlon, which Cooper and LaCasse co-coached, was \nthe more demanding. Indian Springs\u2019 team won the state competition \nannually from 1988-1998, disbanding when other state schools quit \nparticipating. In the nationals, it rose as high as fifth place.\nCooper initially coached the Scholars\u2019 Bowl team solo, later teaming \nwith LaCasse. Indian Springs regularly ranked among the top in the \nnation during a 20-plus year run, ranking as high as third.\n\u201cPeople feared Indian Springs,\u201d LaCasse says.\nScholars\u2019 Bowl was proposed in the mid-1980s by the late Joel Shin \n\u201986, who stoked the fire by pointing out that Mountain Brook High \nSchool recently won the state competition and competed nationally.\nFrom the beginning, Indian Springs dominated in the \u201cJeopardy\u201d-like \ntest of general knowledge. The inaugural team seized the state title, losing \nin the nationals by a single question to the ultimate champion.\n\u201cWe had four trivia nerds,\u201d says Truelove, a member of that team. \n\u201cWe did OK.\u201d\nThe Scholars\u2019 Bowl team and coaches traveled weekends through the \nsoutheast to at least two competitions monthly. The national meets also \ntook them out of state.\nFor practices, LaCasse and Cooper pitted the team against one teach-\ner, while the other asked questions. \u201cThe students really liked to beat us, \nfor sure,\u201d LaCasse says. \u201cThe best thing they could ever do is to answer a \nquestion better and faster.\u201d\nWhere Scholars\u2019 Bowl was brainy fun, the Academic Decathlon was \nrigorous. Teams were scored in 10 categories, including speech, social \nstudies, and science. Students also took a \u201csuper quiz\u201d on a rotating topic.\nCooper and LaCasse met with the team on Sunday afternoons, drill-\ning them on the topics and advising how to refine their speeches. It was \nlike taking an extra curriculum, Cooper says.\nAnother twist was teams must include three students with \u201cA\u201d averag-\nes, three with \u201cB\u201d averages, and three with \u201cC\u201d averages. Jesanna, now a \nBirmingham-based OB-GYN and birthing-safety advocate, was one of \nthe \u201cB\u201d students.\n\u201cWe had an advantage over a lot of schools,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cWe had \nNational Merit Scholar finalists who were \u201cC\u201d students.\u201d\nOver the years, Cooper and LaCasse have enjoyed facing off in chess, \ntennis, and sometimes basketball. That competitive bent extended to \nAcademic Decathlon and Scholars\u2019 Bowl.\n\u201cWhen we\u2019d lose a tough one, I would have trouble sleeping that \nnight,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cIt\u2019s the same about teaching, wanting to be the best \nat what you do. Some people don\u2019t care about that. But it matters to me.\u201d\nC\nooper and his family are woven into the fabric of Indian \nSprings School.\n\u201cYou can\u2019t be here for 50 years and not have impacted \nthe lives of generations,\u201d Schamberger says. \u201cFamilies \nintentionally make decisions on when they start their kids at Springs, \njust so they can have Cooper in the 8th grade and have the same sort of \nexperiences they had.\u201d\nAs far as Schamberger is concerned when to retire is Cooper\u2019s call. \n\u201cI think he\u2019s still at the top of his game,\u201d the head of school says. \u201cBob\u2019s \ngoing to be the one who, the moment he feels a decline, has enough \nforethought to say, \u2018It\u2019s time to hang \u2018em up.\u2019\u201d\nWhen asked about retirement, Cooper shares his dream denouement. \nHe taught his grandson, Will Morris \u201927, in 8th grade last year. Jesanna\u2019s \nyounger child, Elizabeth, hopes to take his 8th-grade class next year. \nKeir\u2019s daughter, Maya, will be an 8th grader in the fall of 2025.\n\u201cThen I will have taught all my grandchildren,\u201d says Cooper, aka \nGrandBob. \u201cThat would be cool. It\u2019s something not too many parents \nget to experience and grandparents even less.\u201d\nKeir says Maya is equally enthusiastic. \u201cShe\u2019s heard a lot of the stories \nthat my dad tells,\u201d Keir says. \u201cBeing able to do that in class with him every \nday would be really exciting for her.\u201d\nAnd then, who knows? Cooper says he\u2019s content sticking with his \nbucket list.\n\u201cI love coming to work,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll tell you, a lot of my identity \nand sense of worth is my teaching.\u201d\nIt will be a tough call.\n\u201cMaybe if I did give it up, I\u2019d be incredibly happy and all,\u201d Cooper \nsays. \u201cBut it\u2019s hard to imagine.\u201d      \nIndian Springs\n \u201cDR.

We took walks \ntogether after dinner. A \ngroup of women went to \nthe beach together every \nsummer for 15 years. There \nwas just a feeling that if \nsomething happened, those \npeople would be there, and \nyou could be there for them.\nQ: What events stand out \nin your memories of Indian \nSprings?\nA: It is hard to separate \nfamily life from work life \nbecause the two were one in \nthe same. My children\u2019s own \ngraduations. Megan and \nCayce\u2019s wedding at the Hut. \nChoir Tours\u2014I probably \nwent on 25 or 26 of them. \nTheatre performances in the \nHut. The first soccer state \nchampionship. Seeing the \ncampus change.\nmore people than I did then. I know a great deal more \ntechnologically. I am smarter. You have to be when \nyou\u2019re surrounded by the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me as we were \nat Indian Springs.\nQ: What are your plans for retirement?\nA: To check as many items as possible off my bucket \nlist. In August, I did a cruise to Alaska, and it was every \nbit as beautiful as I hoped it would be. I visited British \nColumbia also, and in October, I\u2019m traveling back to \ntwo of my homes: Miami, where I lived for 22 years, \nand  Trinidad and Tobago, where I was born and from \nwhich I emigrated when I was 21. Soon, I will be seeing \nAustria (Salzburg and Vienna), then on to Italy and \nSwitzerland (Lake Lugano), and of course, to Jolly Olde \nEngland (Hi, Colin!), as well as trips in the United \nStates to see the parks, mountains, monuments, and \nbuildings of which we are rightly proud. Next year, I \nintend to take college courses in some of my favorite \nsubjects: history, literature, and languages. I\u2019m finally \ngoing to college, only 50 years late.\n\n--- Page 14 ---\n12\nFall 2023\nCAMPUS NEWS\nFAC U LT Y & STA F F\nBOARD OF \nGOVERNORS\nTHANK YOU, \nOUTGOING MEMBERS! \nMyla Calhoun P \u201911 \u201913 was on the Board \nfor 13 years, serving on the Governance \nCommittee.

As you will see \nin the following pages, Indian Springs alums, parents, grandparents, faculty, and friends \ndonated over $4,000,000 to a variety of critical priorities, from the annual fund to the Community \nCommons capital campaign. Your giving has literally transformed our school, so we thank the 730 \nindividual donors who gave over 1,700 gifts this past year to help us continue to enhance the unique \nexperience we provide for our students.\nOur Board of Governors, Alumni Council, and Parents Association leadership achieved 100% \nparticipation again this year in their philanthropic support for Indian Springs. Over 90% of our cur-\nrent faculty and staff also supported Indian Springs with a gift, along with impressive participation \nfrom a number of reunion classes and the senior parent gift initiative. Your collective support for \nthe annual fund, which accounts for nearly 10% of the school\u2019s operating budget; the Kayser-Sam-\nford Community Commons campaign, which has vastly improved the Indian Springs community\u2019s \ndining and social experience; and gifts in support of financial aid continue to make the school \nstronger and leaves a visible impact. A number of significant bequests were also realized this year \nfrom members of the Indian Springs Legacy Society, so we thank those alums and their families for \nthis lasting support.\nBuilding on this current school year\u2019s theme of \u201cinvolvement,\u201d I hope every member of the broad-\ner Indian Springs family will consider ways to help make our school a better place. There are many \nopportunities to support the school above and beyond giving, though we hope our community will \nalways consider renewing or increasing their gifts. Alums, stay tuned for more information on next \nspring\u2019s Development Day project or opportunities to share your wisdom on campus. Parents, thank \nyou to the dozens of families who have signed up with the Parents Association to volunteer address-\ning a variety of important needs. We appreciate everything that all of you do. And to all our friends \nwhose financial support helps Indian Springs be a better place, thank you.\nEverything the advancement office accomplishes, and indeed the entire school, would not be \npossible without the volunteers who make events like our annual Harvest Market a success. Volun-\nteers also come out to support our residential life program, the arts, athletics, admissions, and many \nlocally hosted alumni events. We appreciate all you do for Indian Springs. A special thank you to \nour advancement team, but a tribute needs to be extended to Kathryn D\u2019Arcy, who recently retired \nafter 16 years of service to Indian Springs. Kathryn was really the heart and soul of our advancement \nteam and, for many donors, was a primary point of contact as she was responsible for acknowledging \nall gifts and pledges to our school. She leaves a void (along with big shoes to fill), but we wish her \nwell in the next chapter of her life and welcome Edina Shrestha P \u201922, \u201923, who will be taking up \nmany of Kathryn\u2019s responsibilities.\nThank you again to the Indian Springs family for your support and confidence in the school.\n\n--- Page 23 ---\n21\nIndian Springs\n  \ng  Salaries & Benefits\ng  Operations &  \n     Maintenance \ng  Dining,  \n    Transportation &\n     Other Services\ng  Instructional & \n    Student Activities\ng  Financial Aid\ng  General &  \n    Administrative\nUSES OF  \nOPER AT ING FU NDS\nFINANCI AL STATE M E NTS\nJ u l y 1 , 2 0 2 2 \u2014 J u n e 3 0 , 2 0 2 3\nFU N DR A I SI NG\nANNUAL FUND &  \nANNUAL FUND RESTRICTED 2022-2023\nAnnual Fund \u2013 Unrestricted\t\n\b\n$624,723\nAnnual Fund \u2013 Restricted\t\n\b\n$157,992\nTotal \t\n\b\n$782,715\nRESTRICTED & OTHER GIFTS 2022-2023\nTotal\t\n\b\n$3,222,265\nTotal Giving \t\n\t\n\t\n         $4,004,981\nOPER AT I N G STATEMEN T\nI N C O M E\nTuition and Fees \t\n\b\n$12,268,930\nAnnual Fund & Other Gifts \n      (adjusted for multiyear pledges)      $800,764\nTotal Income\b\n$13,069,694\nEndowment Draw\t\n\b\n$597,681\nE X P E N S E S\nSalaries & Benefits\b\n$6,273,770\nFinancial Aid\b\n$2,362,197\nInstructional & Student Activities\b\n$542,751\nDining, Transportation & Other Services\n\b\n$1,292,097\nOperations & Maintenance\b\n$1,156,571\nGeneral & Administrative\b\n$1,537,534\nTotal Expenses\b\n$13,164,920\nS O U R CES OF  \nOPER AT ING FU ND S\ng  Tuition & Fees\ng  Annual Fund & Other Gifts\ng  Endowment Draw\n\n--- Page 24 ---\nOOO\nDIRECTORS\u2019 DINNER 2025\nndian Springs is grateful for our leadership ai all ie\ndonors whose generosity accounts for so fe \u2019 al UA ~s o~\nmuch of the funds raised each year for the bas _, J ; 4 < We . : \u2014_ \\ lle\nAnnual Fund and capital giving priorities.

While the \nclass mourned their friends\u2019 passing at their 55th \nreunion last spring, Wayne\u2019s and Bucky\u2019s memory \nwas celebrated due to their both having left generous \nbequests to Indian Springs School. As one of the \nschool\u2019s most philanthropic classes, the Class of 1968 \nhas already funded an endowed scholarship and, \nmore recently, generously named the bell encasement \nin the new Kayser-Samford Community Commons. \nWayne\u2019s and Bucky\u2019s bequests benefited both of those \nfundraising efforts. \nMartin Damsky \u201968 remembered his classmates \nfondly and emphasized they were both consistent \ndonors before the school received their bequests: \n\u201cBucky was always very quiet and reserved, \nsomewhat shy,\u201d Martin said. \u201cHe was a regular donor \nto the annual fund...when I was trying to contact him \nfor our 50th reunion five years ago, he replied how \nmuch he missed ISS and his classmates, but it was \njust too far to travel,\u201d Martin recalled. \u201cI don\u2019t know \nof anyone who ever had a bad word to say about \nWayne. He was certainly among the most respected \nand liked in our class....the consummate gentleman. \nTheir generosity greatly helped the Class of \u201968 make \na major donation to the Community Commons \nCampaign to dedicate the encasement for the bell.\u201d\nIf you have already remembered Indian Springs \nSchool in your estate plans, please let us know so \nthat we may list you with the other alumni, parents, \nand friends    whose names are currently listed in our \nLegacy Society.
