New IMF Chief Graduated Holton Arms

[Anonymous]

Since when are exchange students alums of a school?
I thought they attended a school in their home country, go to live with a foreign family and then go home and graduate at their home school and go on to college in their own country

Why don't you find out and report back Professor Eye Brow?

Yuck! When did Geithner give this interview?

I googled her and the controversy over Starus-Kahn and it does not appear that Christine Lagarde has made any clear and direct statements about her countryman's tenure at the IMF. I think she should.

Can't fault Holton for blowing it's own horn especially since Lagarde has chosen to associate herself with the school as an adult.

Alumna? Graduated? Holton-Arms is probably grossly exaggerating the school's connection to the 1-year exchange student Lagarde, and the full page self puff ad H A placed in the Washington Post yesterday with the text "Class of 1974" deceives the public into thinking Lagarde was a product of H A.

I wouldn't be surprised if the 1974 Holton-Arms yearbook section on graduating seniors omitted Christine Lallouette (Lagarde). A review of the 1974 yearbook and the 1974 Commencement program hand-out would shed much light on the matter, agreed?

No wonder a woman has never been elected President of the US. All American women can do is bitch about each other. Yikes.

Let's be honest. No one criticizing Lagarde. What people are criticizing is a school trying to take credit for Lagarde's success, based on the fact that she was on campus for a nine-month stretch some 37 years ago.

It would be sort of like some ad agency digging up a childhood photo of Lebron James eating at McDonald's, and then designing a entire advertisement around the message that McDonald's tasty hamburgers and fries were the fuel that led to Lebron's later athletic success.

H A has grossly exaggerated its relationship with Lagarde through H A's full page ad with the texts, "Class of 1974", and "Christine Lallouette Lagarde".
H A had enough space on the full page to clarify that Lagarde spent 1 year at H A, as a foreign exchange student. H A chose to maximize its association with Lagarde in order to give the very false impression that Lagarde was a long-term H A student who graduated from H A. What a foul-smelling load.....

There was no need to put more information on the ad. She did graduate from HA. She herself welcomes the association and refers to the school as her alma mater. The people who have a problem with this have a problem with the school and hate the idea of such an accomplished woman identifying herself as a HA alum. Please get over it. You seem to be the same poster who keeps posting the same BS over and over again. When she came to speak to the school she frequently made mention of her class of 74' so it's a mutual affection. Please stop the ridiculous post you seem so miserable and jealous.

I interpreted this as it didn't omit her, not that it didn't include her. If she wasn't in the yearbook or commencement program its particularly silly.

The yearbook did not omit her. The commencement program did not omit her. She became very ingrained in school life. There were several girls across the years who entered HAS in 11th or 12th grade. PP, should they too have been omitted from the yearbook and graduation? Do they not "count" because they were not there long enough, as you would define it?

Please. How does a 12th grade exchange student who has already received a high school diploma become ingrained in school life in 9 months?

Let's say she liked the experience and has kept up with friends and the school itself. The experience most likely informed her opinion of this country, and it would appear that it had a positive impact on her opinion at that. Good for the girls of HA circa 1974 who made her feel so welcome.

This. It's all the younger ones who have no idea what women have gone through to allow them to have the freedoms they now take for granted. Fools.

Are you sure? Is your memory the basis of the claim that both the yearbook and the Commencement program identify her as a graduating senior?
Might someone please review and cite the page number of the 1974 Holton Arms yearbook and the 1974 Commencement program that identify Christine Lallouette (Lagarde) as a member of the Senior "Class of 1974".
