There's no book to tell you how to start a school year. It seems that people suddenly assume appropriate roles and do what needs to be done. Steve hosted the administrative team for a breakfast meeting at his home to brainstorm the agenda for opening faculty meetings.

These new teachers bring an amazing set of talents and experiences to Proctor (work with youth-at-risk, victim advocate for underprivileged in Boston, teaching at other prep schools, coaching championship hockey teams) but the highlight of the evening was Ethel, who was originally raised for a special dinner with gravy and orange sauce but won a stay of execution through love.
