De La Salle... advancing his vision.

From the Principal Dear fellow alumni and the entire La Salle family, Greetings from La Salle! “How are things at La Salle?” So often that’s the simple question posed to me by many of our alumni members. The answer, however, is not so easy because it’s two-fold … In many ways, the La Salle of today is much like the La Salle you fondly remember. The traditions, legacy, faculty, scholastics, faith, spirit, activities, events, opportunities – they, and many more, are all there as solid as ever. However, you know that La Salle is also much different from what you experienced. We have kept pace with the technological advances of the world around us and also look to the future of ever expanding new tools which will enhance learning. What we had as kids was marvelous, but today is far different; we all know the effect that computers have had on our lives. Our students today are expected to possess different skills that open up worlds not open to us even 20 years ago. Our students are living in a technological world exploding with opportunities and challenges. Once again, as a college-preparatory school, we are called to grow in the advances and advantages open to our students. As you read the stories that follow, I encourage you to note how the La Salle we are planning is on the cutting edge of academic excellence, focusing on the student-learner through techniques that include the essential, integral use of personal technology. These opportunities for our present and future Lancers are exciting for me and, I hope, for all of you. To you, my fellow alumni and our school benefactors, we thank you for your past and present help of time, effort, words of support, and financial assistance. You continue to serve an invaluable role in our collective mission of making a positive difference in the lives of our students and the La Salle community. We need your involvement to keep growing. Please continue to help as much as you can and tell your story to prospective future Lancers so that they will want to walk in your footsteps and to experience not only the legacy of La Salle’s traditions but also the opportunities of today and tomorrow. May God bless you and your families, and may Jesus live in our hearts forever! Forever, know that I care . . .

Thomas Luebbe ’73 Principal of La Salle “A Catholic high school in the Lasallian tradition . . . . . . a home of Strong Hearts, Strong Minds, and Strong Leaders!”

La Salle Drama in NYC

Trip to China by Gene Jessee

by Connie Saho In June, 12 lucky members of the La Salle Drama Department and two chaperones followed our Director of Performing Arts on a whirlwind trip to New York City for the theatre adventure of a lifetime. Our adventure included a boat ride to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, many, many subway rides, and an entire day of bargain shopping in Chinatown and Little Italy. We went to St. Patrick’s Cathedral for Mass on Sunday and we were surprised to see that there was a small altar dedicated to St. John Baptiste De La Salle in the Cathedral. Some of us did the NBC tour at Rockefeller Center and others did some window shopping along 5th Avenue. Of course we had to go to the top of the Empire State Building to see the sights of the city. The group also had the opportunity to see some amazing Broadway productions while we were in the Big Apple including: “Les Miserables,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” and “Spamalot.” The students who went to New York were: Angela Bruzina, Chris Diedling, Connor DeVoe, Dean Mallios, Greg Mallios, Jason Matheny, John Bush, Jon Gall, Jon Middendorf, Kyle Harper, Mark Berling, and Zak Schneider. We had some great stories to tell our friends about our adventure and we are all saving our money to go back next year.

Touring Ireland On June 27, 23 members of the La Salle community set off on an adventure to England, Wales, and Ireland.  The group included students, parents, teachers and six alumns: John Bosse, Dan McKrancy,  Evan Kling, Jeremy Bookmyer, Nick Ketzer, Above: The group poses in front of Blarney Castle after wanderand Chris Winiarski.  ing through its passages and climbing to the top, where most kissed the Blarney Stone. The group learned an amazing amount of history while having a great time.  The trip included tours and free time in London, Stratford, Oxford, Snodonia National Park, Dublin, and Killarney.

My wife Joan and I spent 39 days in China this summer teaching, exploring and learning about the Chinese culture. We were part of the Sister-Cities Program, which was begun by President Eisenhower. We were accompanied by one of the two University of Cincinnati Chinese students we have hosted, Ran Ren. Ren acted as our tour guide for two weeks of our trip, while getting the chance to visit her friends and family as well. We had a great experience in China. We were 13 in numbers. We taught two weeks, six days a week, and spent one week touring around Guangxi Province. We took part in activities that ranged from helping make Chinese dumplings to taking part in a village wedding ceremony. This was the second trip for me. In 2005, My wife and I taught conversational English to high school students in Liuzhou city, in Southern China.

Bill Cady: You may be seeing less of Bill Cady this year as you walk the halls of La Salle High School. He has decided that after 47 years of work at La Salle, he will cut back his hours. But this does not mean that his commitment to the community and his hard work in Christian service will diminish at all. “I hope to continue to keep up with my service duties at La Salle. This is a very essential element here at La Salle and I don’t want that to change.” Cady has worked as the Coordinator of Christian Service at La Salle for over 20 years, but has been a teacher and coached at the school since it opened in 1960. He was the first basketball coach at La Salle and held this position for many years. He was very successful as a coach, being inducted into seven Hall of Fame Programs including the La Salle High School Sports Hall of Fame, the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and the Greater Cincinnati Basketball High School Hall of Fame. For many years, Cady was known for his great coaching skills, but, even as a coach, Cady was committed to service above all else. He taught his players how important it was to be a part of their community and to serve those around them. This call to serve, eventually led Cady to leave coaching and focus more on helping others. When the position to work with Christian service became available, Cady jumped at the opportunity. “I attended Catholic school and had a good Christian background, so it was natural for me. Even as I taught and coached, I always loved to get my students and athletes involved in Christian service.” Cady’s service involvement includes a number of different activities. He is in charge of keeping track of service hours for every student at La Salle. Cady is involved in the mission collection taken once a week at La Salle, as well as the United Appeal. In

Committed to Others previous years, Cady has also taken groups on work detail. This became an opportunity for students and faculty at La Salle to go to a number of places and take part in service activities. “We get the kids involved in many different tasks. We rehab houses, empty food trucks, and even paint old buildings.”

I want the students of La Salle to experience helping others and carry it with them as they leave.

Cady says a lot of the service work he does takes place in Over the Rhine. They work with a variety of businesses including St. Joseph Orphanage, St. Francis Seraph Soup Kitchen, and St. John’s Social Center. “About 5-6 years ago we helped to rehab an old supermarket downtown and turn it into a soup kitchen and Kids Café that is now called Our Daily Bread.” Cady says the students always have a positive response to the work detail opportunities. “That is why we require service hours. If you try different service activities, you find out how much you really

get out of it. To see how much happiness you find in the end is amazing.”

Being involved in Christian service for such a long time has allowed Cady to realize how important a small group of people can be, “This is a program to carry out what our Lord has asked us to do. He asks us to be his hands, feet and voice here on earth. If you have volunteers to do the work, a lot can be accomplished and you really can make a difference.” So what does Cady hope to continue at La Salle? “I want to continue to carry on the Lasallian tradition that the Christian Brothers began. I want the students of La Salle to experience helping others and carry it with them as they leave. I want them to be good Christians in the workforce.”

Achievements • Sigma Fidei Award from the Christian Brothers for devoted service and outstanding contribution to La Salle High School • Franciscan Award of St. John Social Service Center • Distinguished Lasallian Teacher Medal • Cain Circle Award in recognition and thanks for work in Cain Churches • Bron Bacevich award for outstanding dedication to the coaching profession

As we approach the 50th anniversary of La Salle High School, we are struck by the changes that technology has brought to our educational system. Today’s students have never known a world without computers; they are digital natives. In order to provide the best education for our students and to stay competitive, La Salle must embrace a new vision for teaching and learning. In education, the “one size fits all” approach is obsolete. Students learn in different ways and at different paces. Principal Tom Luebbe stresses, “The traditional model of the teacher standing at the front of the class lecturing all week and then giving a test on Friday doesn’t work. In order for real learning to take place, instruction must shift from being teacher-directed to student-centered.” Within five years, La Salle plans to have restructured the entire curriculum and introduced new methods for learning. The curriculum will incorporate strategies to develop creativity, high-order thinking, digital literacy, communication and collaboration. To address a variety of learning styles, lessons will be multi-sensory. Curriculum will be project based, putting students in real life situations and asking them to solve problems. La Salle’s plan for this new vision includes adoption of 1:1 computing. Every student at La Salle will have a Tablet PC to use both in and out of school. Computer teacher and technology committee co-chair, David Volk says, “By providing students with their own tablet, they have the opportunity to access learning 24/7.” Mr.Volk says that it can be considered an “anywhere, anytime” learning experience. Students and teachers will be able to collaborate electronically on projects and assignments outside of the school building. Jeannie Black, La Salle librarian and technology committee co-chair, believes that the 1:1 approach will address all learning styles. “Teachers will no longer be tied down to the classroom; they’ll have the opportunity to take their students outside without having to actually leave the classroom.” She believes that this will allow students to learn in different ways, that best suits them.

PHASE 1 Our Educational Vision is a three phase project. Phase One is the review of the curriculum and introduction of new methods of instruction. The curriculum and technology committees will work together to develop new methods that will help students think critically, apply knowledge to new situations, comprehend new ideas, analyze information and collaborate to solve problems. They will focus on making changes that will make instruction student centered, rather than teacher directed.

PHASE 2 Phase Two includes two parts. The first is teacher preparation and development. Teachers will be trained to utilize the Tablet PCs to their fullest potential. The faculty will take part in workshops both inside and outside of the school. They will be working together to research and create new teaching methodologies with a focus on a crosscurriculum approach. Second, wireless Internet access will be installed and the necessary infrastructure changes will be made to accommodate the Tablet PCs.

Educational Leadership Advisory Board In the spring of the 2006-2007 school year, Principal Tom Luebbe unveiled his vision for a new learning environment based on student centered learning. This vision is multifaceted, encompassing several key components: curriculum, professional development, and the integration of technology. La Salle students live in a world dependent on technology and they have never known a world without technology. The transition to this new style of learning environment will take careful planning and preparation. The Educational Leadership Advisory Board (ELAB) was formed to facilitate the transition of these key components of a student centered learning environment. This group will work with our faculty and technology to make recommendations for administrative review and implementation. Members of the board are Steve Schulten, Mike Holman, Maureen Johnston, Cindy Webb, Chris Winiarski, Dave Volk, Jeanne Black and Steve Dalton. Chairpersons are Larry Long and Andy Bensmen.

PHASE 3 Phase Three is distribution of the Tablet PCs to freshman students over the course of four years. Many schools around the country and several in Cincinnati have adopted the 1:1 program. According to a 2005 report by the Journal for Technology, Learning and Assessment, research has found that investing in 1:1 computing has paid off for school districts, helping to improve students’ academic achievement, communication, as well as teacher performance.

This exciting new vision comes with a price tag. The cost of the curriculum and staff development along with preparing the school’s infrastructure will be $2 million. We need the support of the La Salle alumni and community to make this vision a reality. The first steps to move toward this new vision have been taken. The Advancement Office is currently seeking the investment of alumni, parents, friends and foundations in this exciting new educational initiative. Please contact Ken Barlag at (513) 741-2388 for more information.

La Salle: On A Mission Students Serve Honduras The 2007 Service Immersion Trip to Mission Honduras took place June 4th-13th.  A total of 12 students, three teachers and one young adult alum participated in this year’s trip. The overall goal of this trip was to live our Lasallian call of service by assisting the people of Honduras in breaking the cycle of poverty. The participants spent time at a high school in Guadalupe with other students their age, and spent time playing games with the younger children. They also took part in service projects and helped to dig a large ditch. The students all agreed the trip was a great success this year. One student in particular, Tim Sundrup, said he learned what it is like in other cultures. “I learned the hardships many people have to face day in and day out just to stay alive. But, despite all of this, they are still always thankful.” Other students found that the trip helped them re-evaluate their own lives. Student Joe Hebeler says he is now more thankful for what his parents have provided for him. “I learned that life is not worth rushing everyday, but slow down and really think about how nice my world appears.” All the students agreed they came back from this trip with a great respect for the people of Honduras and a great appreciation for everything we have in our lives.

Adult Immersion Trip On July 16th, four adults from the La Salle community traveled to Honduras to take part in the third annual La Salle Adult International Service Immersion Trip program.  Eric Lohbeck (LaSalle ’03), Megan Miller (McAuley), Jamie Reindl (McAuley), and Joe Waechter spent eight days volunteering their time to Mission Honduras. This trip was located in the small town of Flores, Honduras.  Over the course of their trip, the group split their time between manual labor projects and spending time with the children of Mission Honduras.  The La Salle group teamed with a group of high school students from Toledo to build a wall to enclose the mission, in order to protect it from various animals and increase overall safety of the mission.  The rest of the trip was spent with the children of Mission Honduras, splitting time between the boys orphanage at La Villa, the girls orphanage at Guadalupe, the boys and girls high schools in Flores, and the Mother’s Project, which is for battered and abused mothers and their children.   The trip served as an eye opening experience for all participants.  It offered a unique experience to travel outside the country and provide a firsthand perspective of the poverty in a third-world country.  One thing that participants mention every year is the strong faith of the Honduran community, despite their economical situation.  They make the most of what they have and leave the rest to God.  The participants returned to Cincinnati with a greater appreciation for their current situations and a strengthened relationship with God.    Everyone in the La Salle community, including other family members and friends, are encouraged to participate in this unique service trip.  For more information on upcoming trips, feel free to contact Matthew Miller at [email protected].

Harlan County, Kentucky Mission Immersion Trip Can a week-long mission trip to Harlan County, Kentucky, have life impact? Just ask the individuals who went to Harlan County from June 10-16: Nick Calardo, Thomas Conroy, and Kevin Knipper (2007 grads); Chris Homer, Adam Licht, and Jeff Rodd (current juniors); and, Don Conroy, Kathy Moroney, and Chris Winiarski (adult leaders). The trip gave them opportunities to learn about the Appalachian culture and about Mennonite missions and youth groups from Indiana and Wisconsin. How meaningful to be able to provide roofing that does not leak, to build a roofed porch that protects against the elements beating on the front door of a house trailer, to add an addition onto another trailer so that the youngest family member does not have to sleep in a closet, to scrape and paint and plumb. As well, these service volunteers received benefit from gaining a deeper appreciation for what they economically and materially have, for parents who have sacrificed, and for living out service to others. Unequivocally, each has said that this was a mission trip to remember.

Urban Plunge Immersion Trip

Six La Salle students, Joe Gillespie, Kevin Walsh, Joey Bobinger, Mark Ruhe, Dan Parsley, and Greg Zoller, joined six students each from Withrow, Aiken and Wyoming high school in service-learning in the Over-the-Rhine area of Cincinnati. The students stayed at Xavier University and traveled each day to various service agencies to immerse themselves in the activities of these centers. They traveled to places such as Peaslee Neighborhood Center where the Peace Camp was held, Our Daily Bread and its Kids Café, the Wilson Downtown Center administered by the Salvation Army and the Emanuel Community Center. La Salle teacher, Bob Sauerbrey accompanied the students on this trip. He says this trip was supposed to help the students involved understand the importance of service. “La Salle once again removes our students from the bubble that often surrounds them. The value of immersion in a different world that exists The value of immersion in the midst of our own community is in a different world that something that can exists in the midst of our only be measured at a far later time.”

own community is something that can only be measured at a far later time.

Sauerbrey says the trip was definitely a success and the students that were involved took away a lot from the experience. “We are already making plans to join with other schools and create programs which reunite these students in action that can change the neighborhood, the city, and the world.”

Mission Trip In early June, 12 La Salle students went on a mission trip to Give Kids the World Village near Orlando, Florida. The objective of Give Kids the World Village is to allow children who have life threatening diseases have a dream come true vacation with their families. The village houses the families in villas and provides tickets to Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios. The village itself is quite magical. While there, the group participated in many tasks. Adult chaperones, Connie Saho and Elizabeth Richardson were engineers on the Big Blue train that goes all around the village and picks up families and brings them to the pool or to the Town Square. Young adult chaperone, Dave Watters, led a crew of our young men in digging a water line ditch for one of the villas. Also, every morning they served breakfast and dinner at the Gingerbread House for the families. The La Salle students had the most fun in the evening when the children and their families came back from the parks and then participated in a Christmas Parade or a Pirate and Princess Party at the Castle. Elizabeth Richardson said that coordinators from Give Kids the World told her they had never seen a group like ours work so hard during the day and then have so much fun with the kids in the evening. One volunteer, Jon Doerger, said that this mission trip really made him appreciate his health and not take for granted that he can stand up and walk and run. “So many of the children we worked with were in wheel chairs and hooked up to many monitors.” The La Salle students who took part in the mission trip to Give Kids the World Village were: Eric Stock, Mike Watters, PJ Roemer, Mike Ferrell, Patrick Averbeck, Alex White, Pete Mathews, Jon Doerger, Pete Seiter, Kevin Lauber, Joe Gehring, Kevin Johns, and the adult leaders were Dave Watters, Elizabeth Richardson and Connie Saho.

Helping the Roots of Faith to grow by Chris Winiarski

A few years back while vacationing in California I had the great opportunity to take a guided tour of Sequoia National Park. As you may know, sequoia trees grow to be massive in size. The sequoia tree is one of the largest species of trees in the world. Perhaps you have seen sequoia trees so large that tunnels have been cut through the middle of them. While on vacation and upon my return home, I remember being truly amazed at such an awesome sight provided by the sequoia tree. Even more interesting than the mammoth size is the way in which the sequoia tree grows. During the tour of Sequoia National Forest a guide pointed out that sequoia trees have roots just barely below the surface of the earth. I found this difficult to believe as these trees were truly enormous. Moreover, I distinctly remember a young man disputing this fact, as he knew trees, and he found it “impossible that trees as large as the sequoia could have such shallow root systems, any strong and steady wind would blow them over.” The guide replied something like, “not sequoia trees. They grow only in groves and their roots intertwine under the surface of the earth. So when strong winds come, they hold each other up.” Very similar to that of a sequoia tree’s interconnected and well-developed root system, each and every Kairos retreat allows the students a new perspective on the importance of our spiritual root system, namely that of our family, friends and our relationship with God.

Kairos is a Greek word meaning “God’s time.” The Kairos retreat model is a religious retreat grounded in Christian incarnational theology, our Christian belief that God is very much part of our real world, especially through the continuing presence of Jesus Christ. Each Kairos retreat is two and half days in duration that offers the participants a unique and life-giving experience of Christian community. During each Kairos retreat there are a series of talks delivered by both student and adult leaders. Prayer and the sacraments are an essential part of the Kairos retreat, as well as, the participants’ involvement in discussions and other prayer filled exercises. Perhaps Jason Ruberg from the class of 2007 said it best, “through our Lasallian education and our Kairos retreat, we were challenged to open our minds, and more importantly, open our hearts, to break down barriers that separate us from one another and ultimately our God.” Here at La Salle High School, we realize the importance of understanding and nurturing the growth of our well developed spiritual root systems and we have Kairos to thank for that.

The Mission Is The Magnet To be adrift at sea without a compass, a sail, or a rudder would be a predicament. To have a school at 3091 North Bend Road without a mission would be a disaster. Every student, parent, teacher, staff person, and administrator is an integral part of the mosaic of La Salle High School, and we each have responsibilities to understand and to fulfill our Lasallian Mission. A mission for any business, institution, or even an individual person gives an appreciation of the past, a grounding in the present, and a vision for the future. The opening words of La Salle High School’s mission statement convey that we are rooted in the spirit of St. John Baptist de La Salle, his followers the Christian Brothers, and the teachings of the Catholic Church. We do need to market our school in many ways, but at the heart, “the mission is the magnet.” Our faculty, staff, and administration expressed a need to be more specific with our mission statement and to clarify what we mean when we say that we are a Lasallian community. In a process that involved research, numerous meetings, and much discussion, we developed seven statements that today guide all of us in living our mission.

By Mick Owens

Our seven characteristics are: We are a Lasallian community… … of faith who portray God’s presence in word and deed. … centered in St. John Baptist de La Salle’s vision of solidarity and service with those in need. … of leaders who embody Gospel values of compassion, equity, and justice. … who respect the dignity of each person. … of men and women who minister with enthusiasm to a diverse population of students. … of educators who provide a supportive academic program for students with diverse needs. … committed to the development of the whole person: corpus, mens, anima.

La Salle Welcomes Class of 2011 The 2007-2008 school year officially began on August 22. Among the 806 students who made their way back to the classrooms, 229 of them were freshmen. It was their first day of high school and many were eager, yet nervous to begin. The freshman class is made up of students from all different backgrounds. They come from different sides of town and over 39 different grade schools. Some have had relatives who were Lancers before, while others are first in their family to attend La Salle.

La Salle is excited to have another exceptional freshman class. Each student brings many important qualities to our school. The De La Salle traditions will help each student to develop his maximum potential: spiritually, morally, academically, socially, physically, and emotionally. We would like to introduce you to four of the freshman students who make up the class of 2011.

Mark Specker Mark comes to La Salle from St. Dominic parish and lives in Delhi. He

Zach Starkey Zach also had a familiarity with La Salle before arriv-

comes from a family who has attended La Salle. “It was a big family decision for me to attend La Salle. My whole dad’s side of the family went to La Salle and I wanted to follow in his footsteps.” Mark says although he was very familiar with La Salle, he has still had to adapt to the changes from grade school to high school. He believes that the biggest change is the environment, “In grade school we were treated like little kids. In high school you are treated like adults. You are held to higher standards. It feels good to have that responsibility.” Mark says he hopes to grow both academically and spiritually while at La Salle. “Obviously I want to be challenged academically. But, I really want to learn how to become a better person. I think La Salle really emphasizes the fact that God is important in life. They are very into helping us with our Christian values.” Mark is part of the La Salle soccer team. He says he would like to tryout for the volleyball team and take part in the Key Club. He says he is interested in becoming involved in the different activities La Salle has to offer.

ing. His brother Matt graduated in ’06 and two of his uncles attended as well. “My brother had a very positive experience. When I shadowed here it looked like a great place to go to high school. It really impressed me.” Zach says he really looks forward to creating the great friendships at La Salle, just as his brother did. “It is a very tight knit family at La Salle. Each class that goes through the school has a tight bond and remains friends even after they graduate. That will be one of the best parts of La Salle.” Zach also wants to get involved in a lot of activities at La Salle. He is interested in running for student government, joining the Key Club and possibly trying out for the tennis team. “I know this may sound cliché, but I want to make high school the time of my life. It is suppose to be your best years and I think taking part in all that La Salle offers will help do that!”

always wanting to attend La Salle. His father, Kevin Casey, attended La Salle and had raised Trey to be a Lancer all his life. “I was very familiar with the school. I had been there to watch basketball and football games and for other activities with my family. I also took part in the shadowing program.” Trey has already joined the football team at La Salle. “I have already made a lot of friends through football. My teammates are very friendly and great to get to know.” Trey looks forward to trying out for basketball and baseball. He also wants to be part of the student government so he can be a leader of his grade. Overall, Trey says he most enjoys the freedom and opportunity that La Salle offers. “They have strong academics that challenge you no matter how advanced you are. It allows you to continue learning all four years you’re here.”

School from St. James Parish and grade school. Alex is the first in his family to attend La Salle. He says he made the decision to come to La Salle based on his shadowing experience and the friendly environment. “I thought the shadowing experience was great, because it helped me see what everything was like. It was very straightforward. I could already see that both the students and teachers really cared about La Salle.” Alex says that so far La Salle has measured up to his expectations, “I like high school better than grade school. I like the block scheduling and the environment. All the upper classmen have really helped me adapt. It feels like family already.” Alex says that joining the cross country team has also helped him enjoy his first couple weeks at La Salle. “I am so glad I joined. The coaches and teammates are great. I have already learned so much discipline from running. It’s an all-over good experience.”

Alum... Continuing the Legacy Mike Murphy • Class of 1966

Mike Murphy was a member of the La Salle High School class of 1966. Since then, Mike’s three sons, Ryan, Shawn and Eric have all attended La Salle. Mike says that he decided to send his sons to La Salle because of the good Christian education that was provided to him in high school. “The faculty and staff were so well equipped to teach us Christian values within our studies. I really began to understand the importance of quality education while at La Salle.” Mike indicates that although he had wanted his children to go to La Salle, he did give them to opportunity to choose where they would attend high school. Left to Right: Mike Murphy ’66, Ryan ’94, Shawn ’97, Eric ’98 “After a lot of discussion, my family and I felt that what La Salle had fit our children’s needs. We looked at it from a whole spectrum, from academics, Christian community, comraderie to caring individuals and felt that La Salle fulfilled all of these needs.”

John Hebeler • Class of 1982 John Hebeler grew up in Colerain Township and attended St. Ann’s Parish. He graduated from La Salle High School in 1982. This year, Hebeler will have all three of his sons, Elliot, Joseph and David attending La Salle as well. John is committed to La Salle because he feels that they were very influential on his life and he has the confidence that La Salle will continue to make great young men out of boys. “La Salle differs from other schools because they educate boys in all aspects of life. In addition to education, they teach compassion, service and Christian values.” Left to Right: David ’11, Joe ’09, John ’82, Elliot ’08

John says he can already see changes in his children since they began at La Salle. “My older boys exhibit the characteristics of good, young Christian men. I feel they have been ingrained with the core values of knowing right from wrong.” John says that those core values remained with him throughout his personal and professional life.

Rick Betz • Class of 1980 Rick Betz, class of 1980, is very happy with his decision to send his sons to La Salle. Jarrod, ’03, was valedictorian and Justin, ’05, was salutatorian. They both were part of the student government and were members of the football and baseball teams. They both then continued their education, Jarrod attending University of Cincinnati and Justin choosing Notre Dame. Rick believes La Salle had a big part in the educational successes of both sons, “I’m one of those believers that a good catholic education is very important. They had a good time there, were very disciplined and were surrounded by great young men who they still call friends.” Rick says it was a really good feeling to see the boys enjoy the same school Left to Right: Rick ’80, Ricky ’13, Jarrod ’03, he attended. “I didn’t get enough out of my time at La Salle and I wanted Maggie, Mary Jo, Justin ’05 my boys to utilize all that La Salle offers.” Betz says the new science wing, increased technology and other facility renovations enhanced the boys’ educational opportunities. “If you come out of La Salle, you really can do anything you want in life.” Rick has one other son, Ricky, who is a seventh grader at St. Martin’s. He says Ricky is also planning to attend La Salle for high school.

Key Club: Hearts of Service by Kathy Moroney Key Club is an international, student-led organization providing its members with opportunities to perform service, build character, practice inclusiveness, and develop leadership. A major goal of Key Club is to develop competent, capable, caring individuals through the vehicle of service to the community. Key Club is also an organization that exists beyond high school into Circle K in college and into Kiwanis in the community. One of the important characteristics of Key Club is that its membership is not exclusive; membership is open to every freshman to senior student who has a desire and commitment to serve. Our international motto of “Caring – A Way of Life” is directly aligned with La Salle’s mission of “Called to serve Christ by serving others.” High school Key Clubs are sponsored by local Kiwanis groups. At La Salle, we are fortunate to have the CheviotWestwood Kiwanis as our sponsors. They provide opportunities for service and financial support for the operation of our club and for scholarships/awards to our outstanding members. As well, there are opportunities outside of our immediate Key Club to be involved with local (such as Mother of Mercy and McAuley), district, state, national, and international Key Clubs. There are Key Club-sponsored service opportunities, for which members earn white or red service hours. The following are a few of our club-sponsored events. In August during orientation, we welcome the incoming freshmen. At the Harvest Home Fair in September, we join with the CheviotWestwood Kiwanis to staff refreshment booths. The proceeds from these booths provide funding for Kiwanis and for our Key Club. One Saturday morning a month, we play Bingo with the residents at Twin Towers, a nursing/assisted living/retirement facility. Monthly, we volunteer with the Special Youth Olympics



with challenged young people. In November, we assist with the annual Craft Fair. In February, we serve at the Camelot Auction. The annual, minimum requirements for being a fully pledged Key Club member at La Salle are payment of dues ($20 by the end of September), seven meeting credits, and a total of 30 service hours. At the end of the school year, we honor those members who have met the minimum requirements as well as those with the highest number of service/meeting hours for each class level. We also award underclassmen and senior scholarships. Anyone who desires to serve may join Key Club and accumulate as many hours as possible, even if not meeting the requirements for being honored at the end-of-the-year banquet. Key Club service also counts for La Salle’s Christian service hours. For the 2006-2007, we had 112 active members, who performed a total of 1372.5 hours of service. As well, we donated $1300 in cash and/or goods to UNICEF’s “Kick Aids Out of Kenya” project and to the collection of winter accessories for various distribution agencies for the needy. The initial meetings will be held at the end of August. Regular monthly meetings will be held on the second Monday of each month. Key Club members will be able to attend the monthly meetings from either 7:05-7:30 a.m. or 2:50-3:20 p.m. The Key Club officers for 2007-2008 are P.J. Roemer (president), Michael Schlachter (vice president), Thomas Kent (treasurer), and Drew Harmon (secretary). Associate Officers are Nick Bachus, Michael Richter, Nick Ciambarella, Nathan Huey, Brian Kaufman, Michael Matthews, Dylan Berryhill and Ryan Matthews. The moderator is Mrs. Kathy Moroney. We invite you to follow your heart of service to La Salle’s Key Club!

Alum Reaches Out to Wounded Vets Jim Hoelker File Jim Hoelker is a 1977 graduate of La Salle High School and a 1981 graduate of Ohio University.  He is the President and CEO of J & L Distributors.  Jim currently resides in Texas with his wife of 20 years, Patricia.  They have four children, Rachel, 19, Rene, 18, Joshua, 15, and Nathan, 12.

Imagine waking up everyday without one of your limbs. Imagine waking up and having your entire body severely burned or being paralyzed from the neck down. For hundreds of men and women who are veterans of the War on Terror, this is not a dream, but a reality. As the War on Terror rages on, more and more of our soldiers are being injured. Severely wounded and disabled War on Terror veterans have special challenges everyday. They must adjust to their new circumstances and they need our help. It is important for people to show their support both emotionally and financially to help these men and women heal. La Salle alum, Jim Hoelker, is trying to do just that---help those wounded heal. Hoelker is involved in an organization that focuses on aiding these injured war veterans, known as Impact Player Partners. The organization was created in 2004 to provide a simple mechanism for individuals and corporations to help provide emotional and financial support for our severely wounded/disabled War on Terror veterans and their families. The organization was created in Cincinnati and expanded to Texas, when Hoelker became involved. “I wanted to get something started in Texas, where I now live. The founder Dick Lynch convinced me this was a great idea.” In the last three years, Hoelker has helped Impact Players Partners reach 1.5 million dollars in revenue. “This year alone, we will have enough money to support 300 families. We are actually helping out

18 Lancer Newsletter

the moms, dads, wives and husbands of the wounded veterans. We pay mortgages, car payments, and anything to help them out.” Besides providing financial support, this organization allows the veterans to be recognized as heroes. Impact Player Partners gives these men and women the opportunity to travel to different sporting events and take part in a variety of activities. “We get them back out into the public eye, to be thanked for their service. If you are going to be in the hospital for 12-18 months, your psyche gets low. So we check them out for a couple of hours and make them feel appreciated.” Veterans have the opportunity to go to events such as the Pro-Bowl, Super Bowl, and Indy 500. Hoelker says they decided on going to sporting events because the mental match-up was there. “All the men and women are around the same age as athletes, so they feel a connection. The athletes look up to the veterans as heroes and the veterans look up to the athletes.” Hoelker believes his dedication to serving these veterans was influenced by his days at La Salle. “I have very fond memories of La Salle. It played an important part in planting the seed of Jesus Christ in My Heart.” Hoelker feels says it’s his responsibility to take that seed and nurish it and grow it from what he has learned through life experiences and his days at La Salle. Hoelker hopes that he can influence others to do their part in honoring the wounded veterans. “I don’t think our country realizes that we are at war. There are thousands and thousands of families that are making huge sacrifices for our country. We need to do the same.” Holker says it can be just as simple as putting your flag out every day or shaking soldiers hands on the street. “Our young men and women have to wear their patriotism 24/7 on the battle field ---the least we can do is give back as much as we can.”

Scholarship Profiles The Marie Kathman Family Scholarship Jerry Kathman is a 1971 graduate of La Salle. He is president of Libby, Perszyk, Kathman, a worldwide advertising firm. He and wife, Elizabeth, have two children, Stefan and Ali. The Marie Kathman Family Scholarship will provide its first scholarship to a member of the 2012 class. Founder, Jerry Kathman, class of ’71, says he established this scholarship for two reasons. “First it was a memorial for my mother who passed away, to honor her descendants who attended La Salle High School, but it also allows a deserving young man to receive a great education who may have not had the opportunity without some sort of financial aid.” Kathman says this was an opportunity to show the value of his education and says if you are able to give back, then you should. “La Salle provided me with a value based foundation, teaching me hard work, focus and character issues that allowed me to live a productive life.” Kathman believes that every young man should get the educational opportunity that La Salle provided him, and this scholarship allows him to help one student achieve this. “The timing was impeccable, because this scholarship was a great way to pay tribute to my mother as well as create opportunity for future La Salle students.” There are no stipulations for this scholarship, beyond the fact that the scholarship is intended to help a deserving young man who does not have the financial means to attend La Salle.

Jim and Nancy Ruff Scholarship Jim Ruff graduated from La Salle in 1968. Jim is president of Oppenheimer Funds Distributors, Inc. He and his wife, Nancy, recently retired to Oregon. They have two daughters, Kathryn and Amy. Jim Ruff, ’68, began his own scholarship, the Jim and Nancy Ruff Scholarship, in 2002. The idea behind Ruff creating a scholarship began during an auction, “I bid for a scholarship in an auction at La Salle and bought it for $1000.” Ruff says that he first decided to bid on the scholarship because he knew that tuition was increasing each year. “I’m on the Advancement Board at La Salle and have an understanding of cost to send your child to a Catholic school. I just think that the entire four years of high school was a great experience and I want others to experience that as well.” Ruff decided to continue the scholarship after he saw the impact it had. “I think it is important that if you have success in life, you look back at the experience that led you there and give back to allow others that success. You don’t have to give thousands of dollars. Every little bit helps!”

Ray and Judy Arlinghaus Class of 1964

Ray and Judy Arlinghaus have been married for 39 years and have three children. La Salle graduates Paul ’88, Mark ’91 , and Lori, a McAulley graduate. Ray spent 39 years at Proctor and Gamble where he was the Director of Finance and Accounting. Since retiring six year ago, Ray and Judy spend their free time farming.

Ray says he is very flattered to be an inductee into the De La Salle Society. “There are lots of men and women who deserve to be inducted into this society, I am just really proud to be associated with such a great group of individuals.” Ray says the four years at La Salle were very important in the formation of who he is today. “I really learned so much about commitment to family and community while at La Salle. I also look back and am so impressed at the Catholic based philosophy that La Salle taught me.” Ray says that La Salle was so influential for him and his sons that he decided to make a commitment to give back to the school. “The high school age today is tomorrows men. We have to prepare them and with our donations, we can help La Salle shape our young men. We can give them the tools to succeed.”

Ron and Victoria Wittekind Class of 1965

Ron and Victoria Wittekind have been married for 27 years and have four children, Brian, Ronda, Kim and Jason.  Ron is currently the President and CEO of Triumph Energy Corp.  He has held this position for the past 25 years. Ron Wittekind is a 1965 La Salle graduate. Ron says he is appreciative of the education that La Salle provided him and wants to allow others that same educational opportunity. “My wife and I both feel it is important to give back to Catholic education because it set the foundation for our life philosophy.” Ron says he feels honored to be inducted into the De La Salle Society. “We really don’t need this recognition. We give back to La Salle because we want to. We have been fortunate in life and simply have the desire to give back and help others.” Ron will be unable to attend the De La Salle Dinner, so family will be there in his place. La Salle senior Tyler Schmid and sophomore Andrew Maddox will be accepting the award for their grandfather.

Steve and Jennifer Hemberger Class of 1973

Steve and Jennifer Hemberger have been married for 30 years and have three children, Christopher, Matthew and Mark.  Steve is a founding partner of Anchor Properties, which was founded 20 years ago. Steve Hemberger graduated from La Salle in 1973. Steve says he is committed to La Salle because who he is today is based on what he learned at La Salle. “In today’s world, there are so many costs. Since I have the ability and desire, I want to help others. I would like to see La Salle give other young adults the same experience I had. We want to give La Salle the opportunity to keep kids in school and keep them interested and get the education that I got at La Salle.” Steve believes that education will be the tool to help students reach their full potential and wants to provide students at La Salle with opportunity. “I look at the high school years as probably the most important years of a young person’s life as far as development. You go into high school as a 14-yearold boy and leave as a 18-year-old man. You learn a lot in high school.” Steve says he is pleased to be inducted into the De La Salle Society. “Being a La Salle graduate I understand what this honor means. You are really looked up to and appreciated for the things you do for the school. That feels good.”

Lancers Step UP to the Challenge! The challenges that faced NASA and landing on the moon, were numerous and filled with complex engineering, science and physics. However, the passion of NASA employees and the dedication of the astronauts day in and day out is what truly made the difference in reaching their goal. The simple words used by Neil Armstrong to describe his first steps on the moon are symbolic of the team’s effort to have Apollo 11 land on the moon. Similarly, La Salle has faced challenges over the past several years by seeking additional support for the La Salle Annual Fund. During the 2006-2007 fiscal year, the goal for the Annual Fund was $325,000. Through the generosity of the La Salle community we exceeded our goal by raising $351,322 to benefit the tuition assistance program. Thank you for providing this generous support! As tuition continues to rise more and more families are finding it increasingly difficult to pay the $7,300 in tuition. This year 47% of the La Salle High School student population is receiving tuition assistance. As more families seek financial support so will the challenge of keeping a Lasallian education affordable. Thus, the goal for the 2007-2008 fiscal year is to raise $450,000 in Annual Fund support. Co-chairman of the Annual Fund, Don Ruberg, ’72, is challenging alum to donate to the Annual Fund. “Last year was the most successful Annual Fund ever! If we want Catholic education to continue to be a great educational and spiritual haven for our students, we must make the effort to donate. We hope to build on last years’ success and raise even more funds.” Through the efforts of the La Salle Advancement Board and the La Salle Advancement Office there is a four year plan to reach $1 million in Annual Fund support. This goal will address the projected needs of the growing number of Catholic families that cannot and will not be able to afford a Lasallian education. Co-Chairman of the Advancement Board, Bob Dorsey, is very committed to the Annual Fund. “I am a huge fan of Catholic education. La Salle has contributed to much of my personal and professional success. I think it is important to contribute to the Annual Fund to create the opportunity for others to attend La Salle that may not otherwise be able to.”

“That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.” -Neil Armstrong

Dorsey feels that without alumni involvement and increased support to the Annual Fund that the number of students attending La Salle may decrease. “We have recognized the importance of assisting families through financial assistance; however, as tuition continues to rise so will the need. Donating to the Annual Fund helps make a Lasallian education attainable. That is why we ask for alumni, parents and the La Salle community to support the Annual Fund.” Just as NASA posed the overwhelming goal of launching, traveling and landing on the moon, the goal of reaching $1 million in annual support is overwhelming but can be attained if we all do a small part. This past year the Annual Fund was focused on involvement – alumni making a donation. Due to this focus we realized a 5% total increase in the number of alumni that made the step to donate to the Annual Fund. Total alumni giving reached an all time record with 9.3% (896 alumni donors) of all alumni making a charitable gift. The goal for this year is to reach 15%. Thus, we humbly ask for your support to assist us in reaching our goal of raising $450,000 for the La Salle Annual Fund.

We ask that you: “Take one small step for La Salle.”

Bob Krueger Endowment Sets Bob Krueger spent 35 years at La Salle as a teacher, coach and disciplinarian. Many remember him for his 26 years as the Dean of Discipline. But who is Bob Krueger? Bob Krueger grew up in Deer Park and graduated from Purcell Marian in 1950. He graduated college from Xavier University in 1955 and later received his Masters from Xavier in 1975. After teaching and coaching at Elder, Purcell and Oak Hills, he finally landed at La Salle in 1961, and was named the first head football coach of La Salle. In 1966, Bob took over as the Dean of Students and soon chose to end his coaching career to focus on being the Dean. “The traditions were so great at La Salle, which is why I was proud to take the position of Dean. I wanted to continue the traditions that the Christian Brothers had started.” Bob credits the position of Dean of Discipline in changing his life in relationship with his own faith. “This position had a lot to do with my faith in God, and

32 La Salle Magazine

discipline in my everyday living. It is what kept me on the straight and narrow.” Bob’s major focus as the Dean of Discipline was to educate students on the difference between right and wrong and to hold them accountable for their actions. In fact Bob stated, “I wanted them to know when to push through the hard times, and to encourage them even when they were unsure of the outcome.” In 1996 Bob retired from La Salle High School. It was then that he had the opportunity to focus more on other aspects of his life. He was able to spend more time with his wife, Julie, whom he is now been married to for 51 years. He also spends time with their nine children, 16 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

In early 2006, three graduates from La Salle inquired about how they could honor Bob Krueger and his commitment to La Salle. What they came up with was the establishment of the Bob Krueger Endowment Fund. When Bob was presented with this honor he was humbled that somebody would recognize him for his efforts as an educator. “I never would have expected something like this. All I wanted in life was to be a good parent and teacher and try to make a difference in the lives of young men. I am humbled by this honor…it goes well above and beyond my expectations.” The goal of the endowment fund is to raise $200,000 within the next three years through annual contributions and through the establishment of the Bob Krueger Invitational Golf Outing. “Initially I was presented with this concept and thought who is going to donate to this fund. But as I have had more time to reflect on this honor, this is more about Catholic education than Bob

$200,000 Goal Krueger. I have come to the conclusion that for Catholic education to continue, not just at La Salle but across Cincinnati, we need to have programs like this to assist families that have invested in Catholic education and want a quality Catholic education for their son in high school.” The primary goal of the scholarship fund is to assist needy students and their families that come from a Catholic background and have invested in Catholic education for their son(s). The Bob Krueger Invitational Golf Outing will be held on June 16, 2008 at Miami View Golf Club. A committee of 25 individuals has come together to make this event a staple event for the La Salle Tuition Assistance program. If you are interested in receiving more information on the Bob Krueger Endowment Fund or the Bob Krueger Invitational Golf Outing or you would like to donate, please contact Matt Dierkers, Associate Director of Advancement at (513) 741-2383 or via email at [email protected].

La Salle Called to Serve In La Salle’s short 47-year history, the students, alumni, friends and benefactors have accomplished many things in our community, city, nation and world. One of these accomplishments is how the La Salle community rallies behind worthy causes.

Over the past 10 years La Salle has had its share of tragedy, with several car accidents and illnesses taking the lives of young Lancers. As a community, La Salle rallies in support of families and friends as they try to deal with this tremendous loss in their family.

As time passes though many of our graduates and family members are looking for ways to perpetuate the memory of a friend or family member, so as to “Never Forget….” the time spent with their friend or family member. As a result there have been many events that have been coordinated by friends and family members to raise funds for scholarships and financial aid at La Salle, to assist in perpetuating the memory of a fallen Lancer or family member. In these instances, generations of La Salle graduates, friends and benefactors have come together to

sponsor golf outings, dances, marathon runs, etc… to successfully raise money for their respective scholarship funds at La Salle. As one grad stated, “The unique thing about La Salle and being a graduate is you never forget about giving back to those in need. There is something to be said about rallying as a community for those in need. The commitment by those you know or might not know is what makes La Salle a community.” Thus, listed below are numerous families and graduates that have come together – both young and old – to raise funds for La Salle and to perpetuate the memory of a loved one.

Ben Kellhoffer Memorial Scholarship

Mr. Nick Scholarship Fund

The Ben Kellhoffer Memorial Scholarship was created in memory of Ben who died of leukemia shortly after graduation from La Salle High School. The scholarship was created by his family, but with the help of his friends the scholarship has continued to grow. David Kissell ’98 and Eric Murphy ’98 are two of Ben’s friends who have taken lead roles to help the Kellhoffer family raise money to continue the scholarship each year. The main fundraiser is the Ben Kellhoffer Memorial Golf Outing, which raises more than $7,300 dollars each year for La Salle.

In 2004, sons Mike, Mark and Tony Nicolaci and their sister Tina Doyle started a golf outing in memory of their father, Tony aka “Nick” Nicolaci. The Mr. Nick Memorial Golf Outing is the major fund-raiser for the Mr. Nick Scholarship at La Salle High School, which supports students that require financial assistance to receive a Lasallian education.

Kissell says that first and foremost the scholarship was created to keep the memory of Ben alive, but was also a way to give back to La Salle. “I realized how thankful I was for what I developed in four years. The foundation for your future is created and you want to be able to give back, to help others obtain that who may not have had the opportunity otherwise.” Kissell says he has learned a lot from the scholarship fundraisers. “If you have the right cause and that belief, it doesn’t matter what age you are. It is where the heart is that determines what you put your effort towards. I wanted to help remember Ben as well as help the high school I attended.” Kissel hopes that this scholarship will be more than just an opportunity to give students help toward a better education. He says he would like those who receive assistance through this scholarship to have a better understanding of who Ben was. “He was a person who enjoyed life and after seeing all that he went through, has become such an inspiration to all those who knew him. We want those scholarship recipients to understand that passion for life, just as Ben did.”

Mike Nicolaci says the scholarship and golf outing was a way to remember all the camaraderie that the family found at La Salle. “My dad was involved in many different ways at La Salle while we were in school. So much so, that it only seemed appropriate that we create a scholarship to give back to La Salle in memory of my father. He loved La Salle.” The Nicolaci family believes that it is not the amount of money or time that you give, but the effort that matters. Mike stated, “In the beginning, we didn’t have any money. In fact, we would just go and ask others to give a little, because every little bit helps. Eventually both family and friends rallied behind the outing.” Over the past three years over $10,000 has been raised by family and friends. “Everybody has been blessed in different ways, and if you are able to give back then you should. I’m lucky enough to have my family to help make the effort to give back.” The Mr. Nick Golf Outing occurs in September of each year. This year the outing was held on Saturday, September 29, 2007 at Circling Hills Golf Course in Harrison, Ohio. Over 100 golfers participated in the outing, which raised $4,000 for the Mr. Nick Scholarship!

Generations James Schoenlaub ’00 Memorial Scholarship Fund In 2000, Jim ‘75 and Beth Schoenlaub created a scholarship in memory of their son, James F. Schoenlaub ’00. James had just graduated from La Salle only months before a tragic car accident took his life. The Schoenlaub’s hoped that in creating a scholarship in James’ name would help keep his memory alive. Beth stated, “La Salle was very supportive in setting up the scholarship and continues to show their compassion to this day, in keeping Jimmie’s memory alive.”

On August 18, 2007 family and friends came together on a gorgeous day for the James F. Schoenlaub Memorial Golf Outing at Circling Hills Golf Course in Harrison, Ohio. As a result of nearly 50 volunteers, including family and friends and 120 golfers, the outing raised $15,000 and was a HUGE success.

The James F. Schoenlaub Scholarship is awarded each year, through an application process, to a student that attended St. James White Oak School, who has excelled academically, demonstrated Christian leadership and has been involved in the St. James Athletic Association program. Since 2001, the James F. Schoenlaub Scholarship Fund has awarded $11,000 in scholarship funds to seven students.

Jim and Beth reflected, “When we started thinking about doing this, we wondered if anyone would show up outside of family! In the end we had to turn people away. This has been an overwhelming experience and we are thankful for all those who remember Jimmie, aka “Peach” or “Bus” and want to keep his memory alive.”

Jim and Beth stated, “Each year we attend the St. James 8th grade graduation to present the scholarship. It is very rewarding to see the excitement from the student and his family who receives the scholarship. Our hope is that they turn that excitement into hard work and dedication and that they realize the value of donating their time and talents for the good of others in their community.”

In the future, the James F. Schoenlaub Memorial Golf Outing will take place in August of each year. For further information on how you can get involved, feel free to contact Beth or Jim Schoenlaub at (513) 385-5658 or email at [email protected].

Will Ramsey Memorial Scholarship Fund In 2003, the Will Ramsey Memorial Scholarship Fund was ultimately created to assist a deserving student in financial need. But, for scholarship founder, Tom Ramsey and others who helped to create the scholarship and raise the funds, it is a way to remember a loved one. “Friends and family came together to keep Will’s memory alive, during a difficult time. They have come together to make a difference in the lives of young men seeking a Lasallian education. It also has greatly affected the relationships that have been built and deepened between friends and family as people have come together for a common cause.” Since the scholarship began, more than $23,000 has been raised. The major fund-raisers for the scholarship have been individual solicitations of family and friends as well as a yearly golf outing held at Fairfield Golf Course. The first scholarship was granted this fall as part of the Class of 2012. A $500 Scholarship is granted to each recipient and is renewable. Ramsey says it goes to a student in need of financial assistance and is involved at his parish/school.

Ramsey says the rewards from starting a scholarship have assisted in the healing process. “La Salle meant a lot to me when I was here and as I have grown older, I look back at the friendships and relationships I have built and many of them come from my years at La Salle. La Salle offers me a chance now - to give back in memory of my son.” La Salle grads associated with the event include: Tom Ramsey, Anthony Ross, Matt Dierkers, Chris Wiesman, Keith Inderhees, Chris Inderhees, Scott Inderhees, Martin Eisele, Bob Billhorn, Chris Sullivan, Mike Wiesman, Fred LaChance, Jeff Knight, Brett Schnieber

Brandon Roesel ’02 Memorial Scholarship In 2002, La Salle student, Brandon Roesel, died suddenly of leukemia during his senior year of high school. To keep his memory alive, his family created the Brandon Roesel ’02 Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship provides funds for a number students who are attending La Salle High School. Some of Brandon’s close friends have taken part in raising money for the scholarship, including Eric Streit, ’02, Joey Speicher, ’02 and Drew Jackson, ’02. These three

ran the 2006 Flying Pig Marathon to raise money. “In our case, we decided to do this because it was the five year anniversary of Brandon’s death. We thought it was important to remind people of the impact that Brandon had on his family and friends.” These three raised about $1,500 for the scholarship fund. Besides just reminding others of his friend, Streit also believes it is important to give back to La Salle. “This scholarship gives a student the opportunity to receive a good education that they otherwise would not have had.” Streit says the Roesel family has worked really hard on this scholarship. “Brandon’s parents did a great job creating this scholarship and raising funds for La Salle. We are just trying to do our part as well.”
