At the conclusion of the exercise, as we studied the easel sheets all along the long wall, different strengths and weaknesses appeared, often right in step with societal events and issues. We could see the eras where Chatham was particularly strong in academics, athletics, and the arts. And we could see her deficiencies and imperfections which rose and fell like her successes. The manifestation of Chatham Hall, her Honor Code and the strong sense of a nurturing community. These are certainly Chatham Hall in all three time frames, Past, Present, and Future.
Circles are complete and whole.
Circles have forward movement and completion, indefinite beginnings and endings. Returning here is a circular motion. We join in where we left off. We are moved forward as we see where we've been. We feel the centrifugal pull and energy of our Chatham Hall circle.
