Wiley Wakeman'68 returns to the Tabor classroom Nov 06, 2009 Wiley Wakeman'68 a long time hobbyist model boat builder paid a visit to the Marine Science Center where he spoke to Captain David Bill's Practical Ship and Boat Design students. Practical Ship and Boat Design is a semester major in which students develop a Table of Offsets for a one design radio controlled Victoria class model yacht. From the Table of Offsets a lines drawing is drafted. Then students loft the design in a larger scale. Each student constructs his/her own model and the course culminates with each student sailing his/her design in competition. The two Ship and Boat Design courses (Theoretical and Practical) can either be taken as separate semester courses or combined as a yearlong experience and it meets a two-credit art requirement. Wiley is currently an Associate Director in Tabor's Admissions Office, Boys' Crew Coach and he and his wife Michelle serve as dorm parents in Bushnell. ...hide

Dorm Wars a Huge Success at Tabor Nov 04, 2009 Foam balls fly around the fieldhouse as students of all ages duck, dodge and dive to keep from getting hit. A freshman lunges to the floor to avoid a ball and is quickly helped up by her senior teammate. They high-five and continue the intense battle they are engaged in. It’s another evening of Dorm Wars and three hundred-plus Tabor students have packed the rec center to play a part in this week’s event: dodgeball. Created by English teacher Chris White, Dorm Wars is a series of weekly competitions that pit students from different dorms against one another in order to enhance spirit within the school, and comradely within each dorm. Students are divided into six different “Armys,” each consisting of one girls dorm, one boys dorm and a handful of day students. Events are created and organized every week with hype and anticipation spilling over until Friday night – when the dorms go to war. Each dorm selects a small group to represent themselves on the “War Council,” which meets each week to organize, promote and run each event. By the time Friday night rolls around, depending on the contest, anywhere from a few kids to the entire dorm participates. Thus far, events have included capture the flag, dodgeball, ultimate Frisbee, a bake-off, a jack-a-lantern carving contest, and a video game tournament. The variety of events is designed to appeal to as many different students as possible. And so far, it seems to be working with numerous events drawing over half the school’s population. Students even follow the day-to-day interactions and running commentary with a Dorm Wars Facebook page. ...hide
