Description
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 1, 30 June 1981
This brief edition of the newsletter from Headmaster Robert C. Goodman, Jr. included last-minute reminders about senior portraits, updates on enrollment in Camp Pittaway (Trinity's summer recreation camp), and news of the cross country team's summer trip to Colorado.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 2, 12 August 1981
In its early years, Trinity struggled to manage adequate bus transportation and to maintain adequate ridership to enable an outside company to provide the service. Many issues of the newsletter were dominated by reminders and requests for parents to meet the participation deadline for bus service. This issue, published in August 1981, was no exception. The minimum number of riders had not yet been reached. It was clear that at the time this was an ongoing challenge to the administration.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 3, 1 September 1981
A week before the start of the 1981-1982 school year, the start time changed from 8:15 to 8:30 to better align with bus schedules. This issue of the newsletter opened with that piece of news and went on to include sports schedules, dress code parameters, and schedules for the first days of school.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 4, 24 September 1981
The newsletter announced that the featured artist in Trinity's Gordon Gallery in September 1981 was Dr. Baxter Perkinson, who had recently begun to paint landscapes. More than 30 years later, Dr. Perkinson would become a major benefactor of the school, and the arts center would be named for him and his wife, Elaine.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 5, 21 October 1981
The volume of news in the early months of the school year necessitated two issues in October 1981. This one, the first, included all information about homecoming events. In addition, there were field trips, athletic kudos, and a number of fundraising activities highlighted.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 5 - Page 3, 28 October 1981
The second edition of the newsletter in October 1981 included extensive lists of class officers, club members, and newly-selected cheerleaders. Fundraising sales (citrus, pecans, etc.) were publicized.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 6, 17 November 1981
A second undefeated season for the field hockey team was a highlight of the November issue of the newsletter from Headmaster Robert C. Goodman, Jr. This issue included a progress report on annual giving; more than 59% of families had pledged support to date.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 7, 10 December 1981
The newsletter announced that the Trinity Choir would join with the Southside Richmond Community Chorale to present Handel's Messiah on December 13. Other Christmas activities included the annual Christmas Bazaar. Headmaster Robert C. Goodman, Jr. added a personal note of good wishes for the holiday season.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 8, 29 January 1982
This winter issue of the newsletter included a revised calendar to accommodate snow makeup days--three to date. An honors dinner had been held to recognize students named to the National Honor Society, language honor societies, and Thespian Society. Two Trinity alumni (Jeff Price '76 and James Rhodenhiser '80) visited to speak to classes. Rhodenhiser spoke to the English AP class about navigating the freshman year in college. Price, a Ph.D. candidate at Johns Hopkins University, spoke to all biology classes about DNA research.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 9, 2 March 1982
This newsletter announced the formation of the "TEHS Advisory Board," established to "advise the Board of Directors....in long-range planning." This issue also announced the first season of the varsity wrestling team. The school was the recipient of two grants from local foundations and trusts which were used to buy equipment for science laboratories.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 10, 29 March 1982
Trinity's commitment to international education was in evidence in this issue of the newsletter. Three exchange programs were active (French, English and German), Trinity students had scored well in the national German contest, and the language department had held a successful international dinner.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 11, 3 May 1982
Headmaster Robert C. Goodman, Jr. named Elizabeth Jacobs and Louis Einholf as co-academic deans in this issue of the newsletter. A decade after its establishment, the school was increasingly seeing its students achieve recognition in outside academic competitions, such as the Governor's School for the Gifted and National Merit Scholarships. In this issue, these and other awards were noted.
Newsletter, Vol. 9 No. 12, 20 May 1982
A second issue of the newsletter in May 1982 included detailed information about exams, events, and celebrations associated with the closing of the 1981-1982 school year. There were more kudos to students who had achieved recognition in outside academic and scholarship competitions. Headmaster Robert C. Goodman, Jr. closed with a message of thanks to "teachers and parents who contributed so much to the unusual successes of the 1981-1982 session."
