A full page of notes and seven photographs! Next deadline is APRIL 5 - so send news to classnotes@deerfield.edu!!!

Not surprising anymore?

Fresh off FB is this post from Jim Wareck...

"BELOW THE BELTWAY has been chosen as one of the closing night features @ the Newport Beach Film Fest April 29th. Congrats and thanks to a great and dedicated cast and crew."

The film was written by Jim and Brad Weir, produced by Jim.

Also note in final scene, actor Kip Pardue (Sunshine from Remember the Titans) , one of the costars, is sporting a IHL Jersey-unfortunately a Blackhawks jersey not a Bruins. Had to talk him into it as he kept saying his character is not "some prep school" dude.

Did you ever think you'd be seeing a photo of Jim (or Brad) on the red carpet???

Deerfield Swimmers Break Records in the Bud Erich Invitational

March 3, 2010: The boys and girls varsity swimming and diving teams traveled to Hopkins School in New Haven, CT, this past weekend to compete in the Bud Erich Invitational.

Eliza Bragg '13, Ritchey Howe '12, Jenner McLeod '13, and Julia Pielock '10 finished first in both the 200 and 400 yard freestyle relays. Finish times broke New England and school records. In addition to these relays, Deerfield girls finished second in the 200 Yard Medley Relay (Julie Hwang '13, Hannah Broadhurst '11, Elizabeth Eastman '13, Amy Li '12)--a true team effort! Congratulations!

On the boys' side, Oliver Lee '10 set three pool records and a school record competing in the 50 free, 100 free and 100 butterfly. The team placed first overall in the meet due to the strong performance of the entire team including the young and talented divers.

Both teams travel to Hotchkiss this weekend to compete at the New England Championships. Girls swim on Saturday, boys Sunday. Trials are scheduled for 9:00am.
