MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Sr. Jacquelyn Gusdane, SND

“We strive to integrate our mission as deeply as possible into the lives of our students and graduates.” The lives and mission of noted philanthropists hold a fascination for me: Bill and Melinda Gates, Andrew Carnegie, J.Paul Getty, Oprah Winfrey, Warren Buffet, Paul Newman and the list could go on. As I recall their names, various areas of influence and giving surface: technology, libraries, art, media, investments, international aid, camps for children and more. They give to causes that speak to them, and because of their generous concern lives have been changed worldwide. And yet, the kindness they have exerted for humankind is not a new discovery. We can turn the pages of history back to ancient times to discover private gifts for community purpose were not uncommon. This is comforting to know! More recently, I am puzzled by attitudes that are in direct contradiction to these great philanthropists. The measure of value has often become

“what’s in it for me,” and while much of our society is interested in “keeping up with the Joneses”, I am afraid they may not even recognize their neighbor. I consider these mantras and visualize a “Y” in the road. Why do some persons veer to the left while others choose the right? The answer lies within the heart of each one of us. So the challenge I invite you to consider is personal, profound, and public: What speaks to you? The NDCL school community is rooted in the greatest giver of all times, Jesus Christ. Universal approval was not his constant companion, nor was self-gratification. In fact, Jesus focused on neighbor for the sake of neighbor and not in relation to self. Love was lavished, scarce food was multiplied, and those in need were his first concern. The marvel of the Catholic faith is that the mission of Jesus has never changed. As Catholics—as humans—we are called

to love and care for one another in imitation of our God who has never stopped loving and caring for each of us. As you consider NDCL and its future promise, I want to assure you that this same mission undergirds all that happens here. We strive to integrate our mission as deeply as possible into the lives of our students and graduates. We want leaders who will not just be fascinated with philanthropy but who, like Jesus, make it a part of their lives. With this foundation, when they come to the “Y” in the road, without hesitation, they will veer in the direction of goodness, generosity and choose to sustain the present and future of this school community dedicated to Mary.

Your TURN Dear Sister Jacquelyn, I have been involved in coaching youth sports for more than a decade. The values that I try to teach each and every child is to give 110% effort on the field while at all times being a good sport on and off the field. Coaching all these years has provided me with the opportunity to see sports bring out both the best and worst of children. At this evening's cross country meet at NDCL I saw perhaps the best example of sportsmanship that I have ever observed and thus felt compelled to write to you to acknowledge this. 2

My daughter is a runner for the West Geauga Junior Varsity team. In this evening's meet she encountered severe leg cramps which led her to a dead last place finish. As she crossed the finish line she collapsed in tears as she was in a great deal of pain as well as extremely dissapointed in her performance. The first person to approach her as she laid there was a member of the NDCL girls' team. This young lady brought my daughter a glass of water and encouraging words about her brave finish as she could tell that she was obviosuly in pain. When my daughter explained that she had bad

leg cramps this young lady from NDCL untied my daughter's shoes and removed them from her feet in an effort to make her more comfortable. This was such a simple, yet compassionate gesture. As the minutes went by other runners came by and in conversation I realized that this young NDCL runner had in fact won the race more than 13 minutes earlier and was extremely modest by politely refusing to reveal her race winning time to the other less naturally gifted runners.

I didn't catch this young lady’s name but her race jersey was numbered 701. This is a person that her parents, coaches, and the entire NDCL community should be very proud of. I wish her continued success in cross country and am confident that she posseses that rare quality of talent and compassion that will make her successful in all that she does in the future. Sincerely, Ron Crowl West G. cross country parent.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL Joseph A. Waler

Voicemail and email aren’t always a principal’s friends. Oh, these channels of modern communication are certainly essential to the work of a school administrator, but they sometimes aren’t exactly “channels of peace,” to borrow a phrase from Saint Francis of Assisi. Often voicemail and email bring news of difficulties, concerns, challenges, and crises. Even the color of my phone’s flashing message light—red—suggests urgency, if not emergency. That’s why I was so pleasantly surprised the other day to receive a message from the coach of a team the Lions had opposed the night before. During the game, one of the coach’s players suffered an injury that required a trip to the hospital emergency room. The coach wanted to let me know that the player was doing well and was expected to be just fine. That was good news. The coach then went on to comment on the response of the NDCL players to the incident. “In more than 30 years as an educator and coach, I can’t remember being more impressed by a group of young people,” he said. “The NDCL players showed such genuine and sincere concern for our injured player. They spontaneously started to pray, and they gathered around with our team as the paramedics lifted the gurney into the ambulance.

“Mr. Waler, it just took my breath away. I guess I had given up hope that in 2008 I would witness such unparalleled class and sportsmanship. Tell your kids thanks for restoring my hope. It’s clear that good things must be happening at your school.” This weekend I listened to Pope Benedict XVI’s homily during his visit to Lourdes, France. The pope described Lourdes as a “citadel of hope” amidst the many troubles in our lives and our world. In a similar way, our students, inspired by Mary’s spirit and imbued with the mission of Notre DameCathedral Latin, are truly ambassadors of that hope—a fundamental Christian value. Through the witness of their lives, they give us confidence in the present and assurance for the future. That’s what they did for a seasoned coach who was beginning to doubt the goodness of young people. At that critical moment, our students rose to Jesus’s challenge to be salt for the earth. They made a difference—at least for one person—by being true to the values of faith, hope, and love in which they have been formed. And they did it without prompting and without any expectation of recognition. Now that’s a call and a message we all should take.

Crossing Cultural Boundaries DESTINATION: EUROPE From castles to cathedrals, outdoor marketplaces to museums, to simple strolls down historic boulevards, Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin students crossed the Atlantic this summer in search of cultural enrichment and new adventures. For Madame Vinka Hartman, NDCL French teacher, this was a seventh opportunity to tour Paris with her students. NDCL Physics teacher Suzanne Bellini accompanied Hartman and the nine students on this trip. In addition, Senoras Sheila Morgan and Marylou Long, NDCL Spanish teachers, traveled with 17 of their language students to Spain; while Frau Peggy Reda, NDCL German teacher, whisked her group of seven language students on a whirlwind tour of Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Austria. Amid t-shirts and trinkets, the greatest gift students returned home with was an awareness of life outside the United States.

FRANCE “This trip was a cultural shock and a life-changing experience,” claims Jeremy Rayl, senior. “When you first arrive at the airport in France, the first thing you hear is French rather than English.” Jeremy says culturally, the French behave differently from Americans. “They are either running somewhere or watching people from a park bench. I could see the life of the city through the people.” For Jeremy, one highlight was standing on Pont Neus, the oldest bridge in Paris. “To stand on a bridge older than our own country was amazing. This trip was phenomenal. I thank Madame Hartman for planning this trip.” The NDCL senior is considering studying abroad in college now that he’s tasted the beauty of Paris. “I will always remember the Musee D’Orsay, Louvre, and Eiffel Tower. It was an amazing trip,” says Becky Ciroli, senior, a fourth-year French student. Interestingly, Becky is not the first family member to accompany Madame Hartman to France. Her mother Stella Hetzer Ciroli, ’84, aunt Jean Hetzer, ’86, and grandmother Stella Hetzer joined Hartman on her very first NDA trip to France years earlier. Hartman has taught French at NDCL for 27 years. “It was a thrill that Becky could go on this trip. It is a trip of a lifetime that I never forgot,” says her mother Stella. “I think things in the U.S. come easy to us. It is very important to have our children exposed to other cultures. It also brings history alive.” “Vinka is full of energy and loves the French language. She is vibrant, fun

and very funny. She is a great teacher,” she adds. Becky’s grandmother also remembers Madame Hartman fondly. “I think Mrs. Hartman is a doll. I love her. She is a wonderful person. She lived in France for awhile and that was a big advantage. She knew where to go, how to use the Metro, and what to see. I never returned to France, and most likely will not have that opportunity again. I thank her for giving me that experience.” Hartman’s desire to share France with her students has not diminished since that first Notre Dame Academy trip. “In today’s world of globalization, students need to see other countries. Travel abroad brings their studies to life. There is so much history and tradition,” Hartman explains. “We walked the streets of Paris daily. It is a walkable city with so much to see. One of the highlights of the trip was Mass at Notre Dame and visiting the American Cemetery in Normandy. Our last night there was in the Summer Solstice – the feast of the music – and people were celebrating the summer with music in the streets,” Hartman describes.

“With many parks, benches and fountains, leisure time for Parisians is important. They take time to smell the roses,” says the dedicated language teacher. “When students travel, lessons take on new meaning, and students are inspired.” Her students enjoyed strolling through the Latin Quarter, riding the underground, and visiting the Luxemburg Gardens and palace, built in the early 1600s. Their eyes were opened to the opulence of the French monarchy at Versailles and were spiritually touched hearing the Gregorian chants in Notre Dame Cathedral. Additional highlights for these NDCL adventurers included a panoramic view of Paris while dining atop the Eiffel Tower; seeing the works of artists throughout the centuries at the Louvre, and walking down the Champs-Elysees – known as the most beautiful avenue in the world. For Clare Wilson, senior, the white cliffs and natural arches of Etretat on the Normandy coast was her favorite destination. “I will always remember climbing the same cliffs French painter Monet painted. They were even more beautiful than the paintings!” exclaims Clare. “Paris was also amazing. The French were very friendly to us as Americans. I was surprised that most seemed to speak English. It was cool to walk into a restaurant and be able to order. And, the food was delicious! I hope to go back one day,” Clare remarks.

Years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, economic integration between eastern and western Germany was visible to NDCL German students and teacher Peggy Reda. Three times the per capita output of the eastern states, western Germany boasts Europe’s largest economy and is a world leader in exports. Germany is also the second most populated European nation. NDCL students witnessed the highly urbanized city of Munich. “On one hand, Germany is happy that its family is reunited. On the other hand, it has been a burden economically for the former West Germany to bring East Germany up to the same standards since the end of WWII,” Reda explains. “Western Germany is very Americanized with capitalism being the driving force while Eastern Germany is more influenced by Russian socialism. The standard of living in the west is very high.” She explains while homes may not be as large as those found in America, quality differentiates the countries. “Homes in Germany are built to last hundreds of years. Everything in Germany is built to last – homes, goods, and relationships. It’s about quality and what endures. In America, if you don’t like your house or neighbors, you move. In Germany, it’s more crowded and resources more limited. Germans must learn to get along with each other and resolve issues rather than move,” Reda says. “My students asked, ‘Why is it so much cleaner here?’ This trip confirmed what we were learning in class,” Reda says. “In Germany, penalties are very high if you don’t recycle. Every German child sorts the trash. On each street corner we saw individual containers for paper, plastic, glass, etc. Germans take care of the environment. I think it was an eye-opener for students that we must also care for our environment.”

The eight-year NDCL German instructor is no stranger to this soil. She attended the University of Vienna in Austria her junior year through Case Western Reserve University. Next, she received her Master’s degree in Mainz, Germany as part of an immersion program through Middlebury College in Vermont, earning diplomas at the Goethe Institutes in Göttingen and Kochel, Germany. The NDCL group toured the Dachau Concentration Camp, located outside of Munich. Reda says visiting a concentration camp is a mandatory field trip for all students in Germany and Austria. “Our students were very quiet and respectful at Dachau. For them, it was hallowed ground. They took time to reflect. It meant a lot to walk around the crematorium and gas chambers.” Reda and her students also visited Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck in Austria, Liechtenstein, and Lucerne, Switzerland. In Switzerland, they enjoyed an hour-long Gondola ride up a scenic mountain in Lucerne. “The view from the top was breathtaking,” describes Reda. “We did a lot of climbing and hiking on this trip. As in life, you have to climb high for a new perspective. There are many chapels and towers in Austria and Germany with 300- to 400step climbs to the bell towers. The boys would run up the steps. I did my best to keep up. It keeps me young!” “You should have heard the students ordering meals or asking directions in German,” adds Reda. “It gave them a lot of confidence. I was very proud of them.” However, like their fellow students traveling in France and Spain, the group was disappointed at the dismal exchange rate between Euros and U.S. dollars. “The exchange rate was pretty bad, but you can still survive with $200$300 in a week,” Barnes says.

Drew Barnes, sophomore, agrees, “There was less pollution, and I also did not see many people driving SUVs. Most drove small cars.” The NDCL tourists were drawn into the European Soccer Championship fever. “They live, breath and eat soccer. We actually visited the two countries hosting the championship, Austria and Switzerland. Everywhere, faces and hair were painted the color of their flags. We really got into it ourselves,” laughs Reda. “We painted our faces black, red and gold in Germany. I’m usually not such a soccer nut, but we couldn’t help getting caught up in the frenzy.” “The Germans were so crushed after the war that their nationalism was down. For many years, the national anthem was not heard or the flag seen flying unless Germans were cheering for their soccer team,” explains Reda. “In class, I teach the students that we have to give the new generation in Germany a chance to rebuild their image and repair relationships around the world. Students are encouraged to speak up for injustice and never ignore it.”

SPAIN

What better place for Spanish students to visit this summer then Spain? Surrounded by Portugal, Andorra and France, NDCL students set out to learn firsthand if Spain is more than bullfights, flamenco dancers and ferias. The uniqueness of Spain lies in the separate kingdoms that make up the original Spanish nation. The north resembles the rolling-green hills of Ireland while the south offers a taste of Moroccan landscape and architecture. Traveling across the country, NDCL students discovered the artistic wealth, popular traditions, and exceptional beauty of Spain. Yet, ask the 17 students what they like best in this European country, and they will readily admit one of the best things about Spain was the food! “It was pretty different from what we’re used to eating in the U.S. – not just hamburgers. Even the pizza is different in Spain because they put other things on it besides pepperoni and cheese. They also served us French fries with most meals because I think they were trying to accommodate us as Americans,” Danny Schmuhl, senior, recalls laughing. “I loved the paella,” adds Bernadette Dowger, senior, daughter of NDCL teacher Alex Dowger. “This is a mix of rice and seafood. It was delicious.” NDCL students insist one of the most glaring differences they discovered between the U.S. and Spain was the number of people who walk in Spain. “We did a lot of walking. Everyone walks in Spain. It’s not like in the U.S. where we drive everywhere,” says Bernadette. She plans to walk more now that she’s back home. Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin

“You could pick out an American by how they looked,” chuckles Danny. “They were always the overweight ones. Europeans, on the whole, are in better shape.” Foreign language instructors Morgan and Long enjoyed exploring Spain with the students. The group benefitted from Morgan’s prior 26-year career as a travel agent before joining the NDCL staff. Morgan has traveled the world, including six earlier visits to Spain.

In Spain, the NDCL group toured various castles, monuments, gardens and cathedrals including the Prado, Dali, and Picasso museums. They visited the cities of Grenada, Malaga, Sevilla and Toledo before returning home through Madrid. In addition to the sites, the students were enthralled by the strong, rhythmic undertones of flamenco music with its impassioned, fiery dance.

Morgan believes travel offers students an opportunity to open their minds to a global world. “Globalization is today’s buzz word, but it is important for students to see other ways of doing things. This trip provided the students with total immersion into the Spanish culture for two weeks. They returned home with a new view of the world,” Morgan states. “Taking a group of students abroad is both a great responsibility and opportunity. For the majority of students, this is their first time to travel abroad. It’s a chance for them to see that we are not the only people in the world, and everyone should not be expected to speak English. They can see the differences and become more accepting of other peoples and cultures,” encourages Morgan. “Everything you encounter is so different – from the smells of vendors selling flowers in the street, to the tastes of the food served at the sidewalk cafes, to the styles of clothing people wear. You could tell a difference between how the Spanish dress compared to Americans,” describes Danny enthusiastically. Regarding concerns with how Americans are currently viewed by Europeans, Danny disagrees with rumors of anti-Americanism. “Everyone we met was very nice and friendly. We never had any problems with people being rude or mean. If anything, Spaniards viewed Americans with a sense of awe –America was more of a magical place where dreams come true. They were like ‘Wow you come from America. That’s cool,’” Danny recalls. Morgan, in her eighth year of teaching Spanish at NDCL, says her tour guides were excited to see her NDCL students return to their country. “They are 8

model students. They are such a joy, polite, and willing to listen. Our students are exceptional. I am always so proud of them on these trips,” she says. “The language classes at NDCL did help prepare me, but I would be able to learn more quickly if I had an opportunity to spend a few months in Spain. The three Spanish classes I took at NDCL were a good foundation. Impromptu conversations on the street with people were the toughest part. Exams and tests in class are fine, but going to Europe was the ultimate test in how much I have learned at NDCL. I’m happy with the classes offered at NDCL. The things stressed in the classes actually were the things we used most in Spain. It was a pleasant surprise,” admits Danny. In addition to Museau Picasso, NDCL students explored other aspects of the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona; marveled at the monuments and cathedrals in Toledo; and strolled through surreal and unique Modernist buildings in Granada. The students visited Alhambra – literal translation is ‘red fortress,’ formerly the residence of Muslim kings of Grenada. Today, it is one of the country’s most famous Islamic architectures. Moorish poets describe it as “a pearl set in emeralds,” an allusion to the color of its buildings and the woods around it. Like most travelers, the students learned while traveling the world is nice, it is equally nice to return home. “I walked away with a better understanding of different people of different cultures and of the language,” says Danny. “I have a greater respect overall

and knowledge of what a different country is like.” “It was great and so much fun. I loved seeing the Cathedrals, gardens and beaches on the Mediterranean. It was also interesting to discover how different people interact. They were friendly and very welcoming – even offering to help us with our Spanish. Our teachers were also great. They gave us free time to look at the sites and shop. I want to go back,” Bernadette states. Becky Ciroli concurs, “I grew in that I did have a stereotype of the French before I went there. Now I have an appreciation for our differences. Overall, I feel there are many more similarities. I encourage other students to travel and see the diversity in other countries. It is amazing to see, learn from and grow through this experience.”

Family’s Persecution Opens Hearts to Forgiveness When people think of concentration camps, names such as Auschwitz, Mittelbau-Dora and Treblinka remain ghastly reminders of the evil that can exist in modern times. Visiting the Dachau concentration camp outside of Munich, Germany this summer awakened memories for one NDCL teacher. She recalled stories of her family’s persecution by the Japanese, who placed all Dutch citizens (Allies) under house arrest during WWII (19411945); and after WWII, of the Indonesians who forced Dutch citizens into Indonesian concentration camps (1945 – 1947). Rather than becoming embittered by the accounts of family members raped, tortured and murdered inside the camps, the tender-hearted instructor draws from these horrific events to teach students the power of resilience and the need for forgiveness. To this day, it is a difficult story for Peggy Reda, NDCL German teacher, to tell… When Pearl Harbor was attacked on December 7, 1941, Peggy’s mother Gladys Smith was an eight-year-old bundle of energy living in Madiun, Indonesia. Her father Jerry Loth was a quiet 12 year old, playing marbles on the streets of Surabaya, Indonesia. Both families were attracted to Indonesia’s spectacular landscape. Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin

The beauty of the islands is manifested in the mountains, jungle and rolling hills, with its 400 volcanoes enriching the soil with sulfur – making the land fertile for plantations of tobacco, sugar, tea, coffee and rice. Flowering trees appear everywhere – banana, coconut, passion fruit and wild orchids share this land with birds of all colors. Monkeys can be heard calling to each other throughout the nights. Generations had come before as ministers and merchants to these famous Spice Islands and had decided to stay. Soon after the attack, the Smith and Loth families, as well as all Dutch citizens, were confined to house arrest with strict curfews for four years. As part Dutch/ part Indonesian, both families were spared total internment in Japanese camps. Still, the abuse suffered at the hands of the Japanese was unrelenting – particularly since both families were Catholic – a minority for this heavily populated island of Java, and, indeed, for the whole country of Indonesia, where only 2% of the population is Christian. “Visiting the concentration camp in Dachau with my students filled my heart with sadness. My life is colored by how my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles suffered during this time,” Reda admits. “It is a nightmare my family continued to live with throughout their lives. They never imagined the cruelty inflicted on them and thousands of others by other human beings.” “I remember as a little girl my father would say, ‘You children don’t eat everything on your plates.’ He found this unforgiveable because, as a prisoner, he was forced into labor in the Indonesian jungle and ate what he could find – grabbing pigeons as they flew out of the thick foliage, eating them raw, as well as snakes, mice, rats, or whatever he could find to stay alive,” describes Reda .

Uganda Visit Builds Solidarity with Gulu Village The Republic of Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa, bordered by Kenya, Sudan, Rwanda, Tanzania and the Congo. Within its 91,000 sq. miles, its population of 31 million have witnessed decades of terror and bloodshed – the result of military coups since gaining its independence from the United Kingdom in 1962. Recent conflicts in the northern part of the country, fueled by the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army, generated reports of thousands of children, as young as eight year old, being kidnapped and forced to kill as soldiers in the bush war. Molly Linehan, NDCL campus minister, witnessed the plight of these young war victims during past visits to northern Uganda (Seasons Winter 2007). This summer, she returned to the region with fellow NDCL teachers Regina Webb and Ryann Angelotti ’01. Their firsthand account of current conditions in this war-torn nation brings insight, hope and challenges in the quest for solidarity with our brothers and sisters of Uganda. After enduring vaccines for malaria, yellow fever, typhoid, polio, meningitis and hepatitis A, B and C, the three NDCL teachers, along with history teacher Garrett McPartland, of Baltimore, Maryland, set off from the U.S. on June 22. They journeyed more than four days before arriving at Madi-Opei, an IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camp less than 10 miles from the Sudan border, where Linehan taught English and geography on her prior trip. The changes she witnessed were startling. “I was excited to find that the fear was no longer there. People believe that the war is over,” says Linehan enthusiastically. “It’s been Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin

almost 18 months since an attack, and most displaced refugees in Madi-Opei have reunited with their families and are leaving the camp to reestablish their villages.” Linehan says many families are attempting to grow their own district – even venturing to tackle new crops, such as teak wood. During the war, such efforts were useless. Their energy was invested in commuting daily to safety. Unfortunately, the cost of war can be still seen, especially in the eyes of the children. “We came to Uganda to offer our help and experience as educators in their school. I believe all education can give a sense of hope – a beginning to try and create a vision beyond fear of war; a sense of themselves and of empowerment,” Linehan says. “But upon arriving, we felt their wariness or a reservation due to the war. I interpreted it as them questioning, ‘Why would they visit us?’” “The children are so traumatized that they don’t talk about what they lived through. They are outrageously timid. They were shy and had difficulty interacting with us in class except for rote assignments,” Linehan struggles to explain. Linehan, Webb and Angelotti were housed in a cement structure built by missionaries, owned now by the local Catholic diocese. Despite the lack of running water, Linehan insists they enjoyed better accommodations than the villagers. The soft-spoken missionary explains, “The building was waterproof, and there were toilets, but we needed to dump a bucket of water in them so they would flush. However, the villagers live in mud huts with thatched roofs, no larger than 12 X 12 ft. Families huddle in the one-room huts, sometimes separated with a curtain. They have no toilets, and sanitation is very poor.” Linehan taught religion while Angelotti taught music, and Webb, English, at the camp high school. Students ranged in age from 14 to 19, with grade levels equivalent of freshman, sophomore and junior years. “Our goal was to help improve the school by offering teacher instruction. However, we mostly taught in the classroom while the regular classroom teacher observed us,” describes Linehan. “The teachers there are good, but they don’t have textbooks, and what few they have are outdated. They barely have chalk.” Despite the end of war, the NDCL teachers express the incredible suffering and need that still exists in Uganda. “The poverty in Uganda is like nothing else existing in the world,” says Linehan. “These adorable children wear tattered, adult t-shirts with no shoes. They stand there looking at you filthy, but with big smiles.” She was happy to discover fewer children with distended stomachs at the camp. “I do feel they are probably better fed since they are growing their own crops,” suggests Linehan. “Still diseases are a major problem due to poor sanitation and the lack of adequate health care.”

Angelotti admits, “I never thought I would do something like this, but I felt called to go on this trip. Molly did a good job of preparing us for what we would see; but you really cannot prepare yourself through second-hand accounts and photographs. The poverty is unimaginable.” Webb says she has wanted to go to Africa since the sixth grade. “I wanted to be a missionary. I have discussed going with Molly for a few years now, and when this opportunity opened up, it finally worked out,” Webb states. Prior to this mission trip, the NDCL English teacher accompanied two, student outreaches to West Virginia. Still, Uganda had a profound effect on her. “The first day at camp was emotionally draining. I had never seen such poverty. I found myself withdrawing – needing time to decompress,” Webb recalls. “Working in the poverty of Appalachia, I knew there were also many agencies that people could tap into. In Uganda, the people seemed to be blowing in the wind. There is so little support, even from their government.” “When you arrive, at first there is this novelty because it is so different. Then, you hit a wall. There are so many little children hungry, dirty, living in such horrible conditions. It became overwhelming,” Angelotti concurs. In time, they were able to overcome these feelings as they began working in the classroom and forming relationships with the adults and children in the village. “Everyone was so warm and welcoming. Anyone who could remotely speak English would say, ‘Thank you for coming to our country,’” adds Angelotti. Music was not a part of the curriculum, but they altered the school schedule to allow for music class at the end of the day. “Since there was no curriculum, I made it up as I went along,” laughs NDCL’s music and choir instructor. “The whole school participated: teachers, students and us four Americans. There is something innate in music. Everyone can understand music regardless of language, race and culture. There was such joy when we sang. There was such excitement.” Angelotti taught four church songs: All In All, I Put My Life in Your Arms, Every Time I feel the Spirit and a welcome song. “The class was so uplifting. I got more out of it than the students,” says the enthusiastic teacher. “The experience completely lifted my spirit and changed my point of view when I hit that wall of discouragement after witnessing the horrid conditions.” “I think the Catholic Church in northern Uganda is the infrastructure people turn to because they fear corruption elsewhere,” Linehan adds. “It is the church that has resisted corruption and remains the reliable source for the people. They are living with the people and giving up everything. The Archbishop of Gulu, Jean-Baptiste O'Dama, is a strong figure working for peace in the world.” “My intention is to go back. A month would be most ideal,” Linehan says. However, when asked if she could see bringing students along, Linehan hesitates, “Having NDCL students accompanying us to Uganda is too risky – not just because of the threat of violence but sanitation concerns.” While the teachers worked at the camp, there was an outbreak of the rare Hepatitis E, spread through poor sanitation in remote rural areas. “We washed our hands all the time and were extremely careful with what we were eating,” Linehan assures.

On their last night, the teachers were swept up like water in a wave of tribal yelling and dancing as villagers in Kampala, Uganda’s capital, thanked the Americans for their generosity and compassion. Angelotti recalls, “I felt like a celebrity. As we turned into the driveway, we heard the drums, tribal music and high-pitched noise they make as a sign of welcome. They were genuinely excited to see us and thank us.” “The last night was a perfect ending to our trip,” insists Webb. “They brought us in, and we all just sang and danced. It was exhilerating to be caught up in that energy. We were one with them.” Upon reflection, Linehan says, “I still feel we did so little because the need is so great. I feel good about the work we accomplished, but it was an exhausting trip. It was amazing to bring my friends with me this time. Returning home, I am not alone in this experience.” Angelotti claims she experienced culture shock upon her return. “Nothing changed here – except the Indians had traded C.C. Sabathia,” she sighs. “But I changed. I think of things in a different way. It’s been a difficult adjustment. Yesterday, my church choir sang at the Indians game. I stopped to take a sip of water at a drinking fountain in the stadium and thought, ‘In Uganda, they don’t have running water or water to flush a toilet.’ It makes me appreciate everything I have here.” Angelotti also hopes to return to Uganda. “It’s an expensive trip, but only that would prevent me from going back next year. I was glad “The poverty in Uganda is like to have my friends with me on this trip. We had all our meals together and were able to share what was going on. It helped. There was a nothing else existing in the world,” support system when we didn’t know what else to do. When we weren’t in class, we would talk to the children and adults in the village. says Linehan. “These adorable children I can count to 10 in Alcholi now,” she laughs. “I don’t know if I’ll go back,” Webb considers. “I’d like to, but I’m still wear tattered, adult t-shirts with no recovering, I guess. I can’t believe how much this trip took out of me, but I am so glad I did this. It was a delight to have Molly, Ryann and shoes. They stand there looking at Garrett. Our personalities meshed well… We prayed together all the time. It was an uplifting experience to be reminded we are connected you filthy, but with big smiles.” and supported through our faith. I’m also still hearing about all the people here who prayed for us on our trip. That’s quite heartwarming.” “Our world is small and interconnected,” Linehan insists. “Each of us truly can impact the world – students, teachers, parents, alumni and our community. While many people cannot go and rough it in Uganda, Ryann, Regina and I could,” Linehan says with a smile. For all three NDCL teachers, this trip was about solidarity. “To me, solidarity is the recognition that we all form one body. As Christians, we’d say it is the Body of Christ,” explains Linehan. “If one member of the body is sick, we all suffer; we all are hurt by it. Also, we are not in solidarity for the good of someone else. It is for the good of me, too. I return from this trip more whole, more complete.”

Hall of Fame Welcomes 2008 Inductees The 49th annual Cathedral Latin Hall of Fame induction ceremony and the 6th Annual Notre DameCathedral Latin and Notre Dame Academy inductions were held on August 30, 2008 at NDCL’s campus. Congratulations to the newest Hall of Fame members to join the ranks of fellow CL/NDA/NDCL sports greats.

Terry Mulligan Cathedral Latin Class of 1963 Football When asked why being inducted into the CL Hall of Fame means so much to him, Terry Mulligan ’63 replies, “How much time do you have?” “Cathedral Latin was such a big part of my life and in the formation of who I am,” he says. “It’s a validation that that part of my life really was as significant as I’ve always thought it was.” In 1959, Mulligan and his family moved to Florida after he graduated from St. Henry School. He was offered football scholarships to Cathedral Latin and Benedictine before the move. “My brother John told me that if I went to Benedictine, I’d sleep in the back yard,” laughs Mulligan. “If I went to Latin, I could sleep inside.” (John attended CL for three years before the family’s move to Florida. Younger siblings are Tom ’67 and Karyn.) Latin reinstated its scholarship offer when Mulligan’s family returned to Cleveland. As a sophomore, Mulligan displayed his athletic prowess at offensive end and defensive end. The sophomore team went 6 – 1 and Mulligan, the team’s leading scorer and receiver, was elected co-captain. The 1960 season stands as one of his fondest football memories. “When I came in, the freshman team had lost every game but one,” he says. “We had a new coach (Chuck Kelley) and turned the whole thing around. It was so exciting.” For Mulligan, another highlight was the Latin vs. Holy Name Charity Game. Though

the Lions lost, 12-7, Mulligan delighted in the experience. “As a kid who grew up in Cleveland and went to Browns games, to play in Municipal Stadium was a real thrill.” The thrill continued into Mulligan’s senior season. As a two-way starter, he was named Lineman of the Week for the East High and Benedictine games. Mulligan accepted a full football scholarship to the University of Iowa. At defensive tackle, he was defensive captain when Iowa played Michigan State. Mulligan and former classmate Clinton Jones ’63 met at mid-field for the pre-game coin toss—both were captains of their teams. In 1966, Mulligan was selected by the University of Iowa Reserve Officers Training Corps as Most Valuable Athlete, presented by Iowa Governor Harold Hughes. He graduated with a B.S.S.E. degree in June 1968 and served in Germany for two years during the Vietnam War. First Lieutenant Mulligan was awarded the Army Commendation Medal for Meritorious Service in Europe. After his military duty, Mulligan joined Chicago-based American Hospital Supply Corporation, which was later acquired by Baxter International. Mulligan was group vice president of health systems before retiring in 1996. Currently, he is vice-chairman of MedAssets, Inc. He was awarded the Outstanding Volunteer for the State of Iowa by Iowa Governor Terry Branstad and the Distinguished Alumni Award by the president of the University of Iowa. Mulligan never forgot the community that helped him more than 45 years ago. To help a new generation of students, he engineered the Class of ’63 Endowed Scholarship Fund and established the Terry and Susan Mulligan Scholarship at NDCL. “I couldn’t afford to ride a bus to school so I had to hitch hike every day,” recalls Mulligan. “It was a long haul, and I was often late. Brother Frank (Nurthen) was always there to meet me at the front door. To go into the Cathedral Latin Hall of Fame as a poor kid from Warrensville—it means a lot. Had it not been for Pete Pucher ’55 (HOF ‘88), Sam Ruvolo (HOF ‘00), and Clinton Jones ’63 (HOF ‘72), who nominated me, this would not be happening.” Mulligan and his wife Susan (nee Showers) have been married for 41 years and reside in Lake Forest, IL and Naples, FL. They have two sons, Dan and Jim, and five grandchildren. Perhaps the heartfelt words from Mulligan’s August 30 induction speech best sum up his Hall of Fame experience: “There were better players inducted into this Hall of Fame before me, and there will be better players inducted after me, but I assure you that none of them will be more appreciative of this honor.”

HALL OF FAME 2008 INDUCTEES

Dave Haley Cathedral Latin Class of 1969 Football A speedy halfback and two-way starter, three-year varsity letterman Dave Haley was an exciting player who began dominating the gridiron during his junior year. An interception and 60-yard return for a touchdown against John Hay High School was the play that sparked Haley’s performance over the next two seasons. Haley played for Coach Sam Ruvolo in 1967 and Coach Tom Ward in 1968. During his senior year, he caught two touchdown passes of 41 and 21 yards against St. Joseph. In the same game, Haley scored a touchdown on a 90-yard kickoff return (the 2nd longest in school history). He received Cleveland Press Star, Plain Dealer Dream Team, Call & Post All- Scholastic, and All-District honors. When Latin took on Padua, Haley set the school record for longest touchdown run from the line of scrimmage—an incredible 96 yards. He also caught an 81-yard pass reception for a touchdown (the 3rd longest in school history). He was named Back of the Week for his performance against Padua. Against Cardinal Mooney, he caught four passes for 109 yards including a 60-yard touchdown. He was named All-Independent Second Team. “I didn’t even know about my records until I purchased the Cathedral Latin history book,” admits Haley, who loved the highly charged environment at his alma mater. “The thing that was constant at Latin was school spirit. The camaraderie and the spirit of the school—it was enjoyable from start to finish. “Latin was such a football school. When you walked into the gym and saw the lion up on the wall, there was no other school that you wanted to go to.” Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin

He adds that Latin did not have a glamorous football facility—the entire football team had to jog (uphill) about two miles to the reservoir to practice while the coaches drove alongside the players. “You really had to want to play football for Cathedral Latin,” says Haley. “That’s what we went there for. It was a powerhouse, always had been.” Haley’s favorite football game was the game against St. Joe’s when he made his 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. Before the game, he received a call from former teammate and friend Robin Kaser ’67 (HOF ’76). “He said, ‘Dave, these are the best years of your life,’” recalls Haley. The game itself was exciting, even though Latin lost. Haley did not realize it at the time, but Latin had never beaten St. Joseph; it was the closest they had ever come to doing so. “After the game, Coach Bill Gutbrod, head coach of St. Joe’s, sent me a really nice letter congratulating me on my game,” says Haley. “That meant a lot.” Attending Latin was a Haley family tradition. Dave’s siblings are Matt ’61, Tim ’65, Greg ’67, Brian, and Rosemary. Haley played one year of football at Miami University of Ohio. That year, he and his high school sweetheart, Jackie, were married by a former CL guidance counselor, Rev. Richard Knuge S.M. The Haleys have two children, David and Kristin, and six grandchildren. They have lived in Naples, FL since 1971 where Dave has been employed by UPS for the past 26 years.

E. Peter Parker Cathedral Latin Class of 1976 Basketball and football

HALL OF FAME 2008 INDUCTEES

Peter Parker was recognized for his outstanding accomplishments in Cathedral Latin basketball and football. The first member of his class to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, he joins his uncle, Ray Posipanka ’45 (HOF ’99). Parker remembers his introduction to Cathedral Latin and the lasting impression it made. “Believe it or not, I was recruited out of grade school to play football for Latin by Coach Jack Zebkar,” says Parker. “I just really liked everything that I got to know about Latin out of that process.” Parker earned letters in three varsity sports: basketball, football, and baseball. The 6’ 2” center/forward was co-captain of the 1975-76 Lions basketball team that won the first of four consecutive district championships. It was the team that started Latin’s historic march toward the state championship, says Parker. Not since the 1956-57 season had a Latin basketball team advanced so far in the playoffs. Parker has many fond memories of his team and key games. “We played a game against Lutheran East, and I went 10 for 10 from the field,” he recalls. “I didn’t miss a shot. When I told my dad about it afterward, he said, ‘No way!’ In the paper the next day, sure enough, I went 10 for 10. “In my senior year, we made it to the Sweet Sixteen, and in the state tournament, we lost by a point. Latin won the state championship the next year and was in the finals the following two years. Then the school closed.” The basketball talent definitely knew his way around the court and the gridiron. A two-year starter in football, Parker played both ways his junior and senior years. Under the tutelage of Coach Joe Perella, the three-year letterman excelled at defensive end and tight end. He was named to the All-Crown Conference team during his junior and senior seasons. After Latin, Parker played two years as a tight end at Brown University, Providence, RI, but was forced to give up playing Bruins football after an injury. Parker earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and went on to Boston University School of Law, graduating magna cum laude. A defense lawyer for 20 years, Parker has his own criminal defense practice, Parker’s Law. The Boston-based firm is devoted to the defense of serious felony cases at the grand jury stage and in state and federal trial cases. Parker married his wife Karen in 1989. The Parkers reside in Concord, MA, with their daughters, Emma and Julia. Though he’s a New Englander now, Parker’s Cleveland roots and Latin education played an important role in his life.

“Cathedral Latin helped prepare me to take responsibility and grow up,” he says. “It taught me that if you don’t work hard for the things that you want, you’re not going to get them. It sounds kind of wishy-washy, but that’s what it did.” Parker adds that he is honored to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. “It’s very exciting,” he says. “There are a lot of stellar athletes in the Hall of Fame, and it’s great to be part of it.”

Antonia “Toni” Igrec Notre Dame Academy Class of 1981 Basketball The early 1980s were an exciting time for NDA basketball fans. At 6’ 2”, hoops star Antonia “Toni” Igrec was not short on talent or determination. A four-year varsity player, Igrec is NDA’s all-time leading scorer and rebounder. She averaged 31.9 points per game and 20 rebounds. She scored an all-time high of 50 points in a single game against opponent Villa Angela Academy. “In one game I scored 50 points,” she recalls. “They called me Queen of the Day in the newspaper.” Indeed, Igrec proved to be queen of her court. In 1981, she earned the MVP award from the Greater Cleveland Catholic Girls Athletic Conference (GCCGAC.) The Plain Dealer named her to its First Team All-Scholastic, and the Associated Press to its Second Team All-Ohio. She also made the News Herald’s All-Star First Team and was MVP of the Wendy’s News Herald Girls Basketball East-West Classic. Igrec was also a four-year varsity volleyball player and served as NDA’s president of the Athletic Association. When not dominating the basketball and volleyball courts, Igrec excelled in art at NDA and received an award for one of her cubist paintings.

HALL OF FAME 2008 INDUCTEES

She received a full four-year athletic scholarship to Syracuse University where she majored in fine arts. Igrec was part of the 1985 Big East Championship Basketball Team, Syracuse’s first female basketball team to ever win the title. She received All-Tournament team honors, Second Team overall in the Big East, and led Syracuse to the NCAA Championship tournament. Reflecting on her illustrious sports career, Igrec shares a bit of advice to hopeful young athletes: Never give up. It’s a motto that has served her well. “The first year that I went to national All-American Top 30 Basketball Camp, a coach told me that I would never make it in basketball,” she says. “I came back the next year, and I won MVP at that camp. “At NDA, I had a hard time in basketball for the first couple of years. But during my senior year, I started getting all of these awards. At Syracuse, we were down by eight points with two minutes left in one game. I stole the ball, and we ended up winning the tournament.” Today, Igrec resides in Richmond Heights. For the past nine years, she has been a production manager at RETAB, Inc., Beachwood. She competed in Balley’s Scandanavian Triathalon and still enjoys painting. Each week she volunteers at Grande Point Nursing Home, Richmond Heights. She brings along her dog, Henry, as part of a pet therapy program. Igrec was named Grande Point Volunteer of the Year. When asked how she feels about being inducted into the NDA Hall of Fame, Igrec’s enthusiasm shines through. “I was surprised when they told me I was being inducted because I haven’t thought of high school in a while,” she admits. “The first thing I said was ‘Woo hoo!’ I was so excited.” Igrec credits her NDA coach Rhonda Rickelman (NDCL HOF ’06) for helping lay the foundation for her basketball career. “I had a really good high school coach. Without her, I might not be where I’m at.”

Bobby Kingsbury Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin Class of 1999 Baseball One look at Bobby Kingsbury’s stellar NDCL baseball career offers a telling glimpse into the future of this bright star. Kingsbury finished his NDCL career with a batting average of .508, with 98 RBI. He drew 81 walks while striking out only 15 times in his entire career. In 1999, he stole 41 bases and scored 46 runs for the Lions. He was named Player of the Year by the News Herald and Plain Dealer and North Coast League Player of the Year. Kingsbury remains NDCL’s all-time stolen bases leader with 113. In his senior year, he was First Team All-State and named Top Defensive Outfielder by Buckeye Scout News. In the off-seasons, Kingsbury earned two varsity letters for football and two for basketball. Described as a “student of baseball” by The Plain Dealer, Kingsbury proved to be a remarkable student off the field, too—he was a National Merit Scholar finalist. “My experience at NDCL prepared me very well for real life,” says Kingsbury. “It taught me that it wasn’t just about sports, it was about academics as well. I wanted to be a well-rounded person. Coach Jim Clark (HOF ’08) taught me a lot about baseball and about being a man.” Kingsbury has many NDCL career highlights, but the one game that really stands out? “When we beat Lake Catholic in the district championship during my junior year,” he says. “That same season, in the game before Lake Catholic, we were down to Perry by seven runs after the first inning. We came back and won the sectional championship.”

HALL OF FAME 2008 INDUCTEES

After making his mark on NDCL, Kingsbury received a full-ride scholarship to Fordham University, New York, where he majored in finance. In 2001, he was named Atlantic 10 Baseball Player of the Year; he was the first sophomore in league history to win the coveted title. Incredibly, Kingsbury won again as a junior—he was the first Atlantic 10 baseball player to earn back-to-back Atlantic 10 Player of the Year Awards. Kingsbury was named First Team All-Atlantic 10 for both seasons and holds the NCAA record for stolen bases in a game: eight. He was co-recipient of the 2002 Vincent T. Lombardi Award. After his junior season, Kingsbury took his game to the next level when he was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 8th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball draft. The outfielder spent six years playing professional baseball in the Pirates minor league system. During this time, he had the chance to play in the ultimate sports arena: the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Greece. “My Olympics experience was amazing,” he says. “Greece put out a memo for people in professional baseball that said if your great-grandmother was born in Greece, you could try out for the team. I was fortunate enough to make it and start in the Olympics.” Kingsbury retired from the Pirates organization after the 2007 season due to an injury. “I had to hang up the cleats,” he says. Kingsbury holds a bachelor’s of science degree in finance from Fordham and is a 2008 Fordham University Hall of Fame inductee. In February 2008, Kingsbury joined MCM Capital Partners, Beachwood, as a business development officer. He and his wife Erin live in Sagamore Hills. As for being inducted at same time as Coach Jim Clark, Kingsbury couldn’t be more pleased. “It’s pretty fitting that we did it together. He’s my mentor—he’s the one who taught me the most about baseball.” For all of you trivia buffs, Kingsbury was inducted into the NDCL Hall of Fame on his birthday. It just doesn’t get any better than that.

Coach Jim Clark Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin Baseball Coach Jim Clark completed his 14th season as head baseball coach at NDCL. He has also been the associate athletic director for seven years. His Hall of Fame induction is fitting recognition for this wellaccomplished coach. “It’s a great honor,” says Clark. “When I look at the accomplishments, I look at the kids. I look at it more as an achievement for the baseball program than as a personal achievement for myself. We’ve never had a losing season.” NDCL captured the Division II State Baseball Championship in 2001 and was state runner-up in 2006. Clark’s record as head baseball coach at NDCL is 310-81. His numerous awards include Plain Dealer Division II Coach of the Year for 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2006 and 2008; and News Herald Division II Coach of the Year from 1995—1999, 2001, and 2006. Clark was Ohio’s Division II Coach of the Year in 2001 and 2006. From 1995 until the present, he was named North Coast League Coach of the Year six times, and Northeast District Division II Coach of the year eight times. Many of Clark’s former players have gone on to play in Division I college programs and beyond. Two of Clark’s players—fellow 2008 inductee Bobby Kingsbury, and Michael Madsen ‘01—have professional baseball experience. Despite the countless accolades, Clark remains humble and credits the NDCL community and his coaching staff. “I’ve been fortunate to have a lot of people support me. There are so many coaches whom I feel lucky to have worked with, but Ken Bolek stands out in a special way. I’ve been lucky to have him with me, not only as a coach—he has become a great friend.” Clark recalls the extraordinary day when NDCL won the 2001 Ohio Division II State Championship by beating Tallmadge 8-0.

HALL OF FAME 2008 INDUCTEES

“The thing that stands out about it—besides that we won the state championship—was if there was ever a game where a team played perfectly, we played perfectly that day,” he says. “To play a perfect game was just as satisfying as winning the state championship.” Clark played baseball at John Marshall High School and Baldwin Wallace College, Berea. After an injury, he was forced to stop playing the game he loved but discovered a new passion in coaching. Before joining NDCL in 1995, Clark coached football and basketball at John Marshall, North Olmsted and St. Joseph high schools, and coached a premier travel baseball team for the North Coast America Baseball Organization. As a baseball clinic coordinator and instructor for Major League Baseball (MLB), Clark traveled around the country and worked with baseball greats like Don Mattingly, Roberto Alomar and Joe Torre. Clark was an associate scout for the Cleveland Indians and the Colorado Rockies. From MLB players to NDCL players, Clark has worked with many talented athletes. “I’ve always found the boys at NDCL to be great, responsible boys,” says Clark. “They’re passionate about baseball, academics and the spiritual side of things. “We pray before every practice and game. It’s a tradition now that the boys pray as the bus leaves to go to away games. It’s a very genuine thing. Catholic education—that’s the business we’re in. We try to teach them about becoming better people.” Clark, who lives in the West Park area of Cleveland, is extremely proud of his former players and fellow Hall of Fame inductees: Tim Salcer ’96, Tom Martin ’97, and Bobby Kingsbury ’99. On being inducted with Kingsbury, “I couldn’t be happier for Bobby. He is a great person and a great player. I’m very proud of everything he has accomplished.” As someone who has coached in many different venues, Clark says that NDCL is a very unique place. “I’ve been fortunate enough to have a lot of people support me. NDCL has always had a special place in my heart.”

Dear Friends of NDCL, At this time last year, NDCL was just putting the finishing touches on the brochure for its $4 million capital campaign. Since then, much progress has occurred as people and foundations have stepped forward in support of that effort. On behalf of the school’s Board of Directors, I want to express our gratitude to all who are joining us in advancing the mission of NDCL. The NDCL school year opened with an obvious sense of excitement and vitality. Students returned to find six new tennis courts, lights and fencing at Lion Stadium, and a new parking lot – for which the whole community is most grateful. Successful completion of the capital campaign will remain an essential focal point of our fundraising efforts throughout this fiscal year. However, it is equally important that we meet NDCL’s operating obligations. With an operating budget of over $7 million, tuition covers only about 85% of the actual cost of education. The balance (nearly $1 million) comes from other sources, such as the NDCL Fund, the school’s annual fundraising events (the NDCL Golf Classic and the Lion’s Mane Event), interest earned on the school’s investments, and some limited government funding. Each of these is an important component of NDCL’s revenue stream – every year. That’s why your private philanthropy is so crucial to our success. The Honor Roll of Donors that follows gratefully recognizes all gifts that were made to NDCL during the 2007-08 fiscal year – along with commitments to the capital campaign made through September 15, 2008. Together, as a Catholic community, we are uniting with a shared vision to ensure that the strong heritages from Notre Dame Academy and Cathedral Latin School are an important part of the NDCL experience. NDCL remains grateful to the many families, alumni and friends who support the school financially and in so many other important ways. Each of you plays a key role in the life of our community. Your commitment to NDCL is deeply appreciated. As we celebrate NDCL’s 20th Anniversary, please join all those listed in the following pages in securing the bright future of our school.

The names listed on the following pages reflect gifts to NDCL that were received between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2008. Those listed on the Capital Campaign page are those who have made written commitments to the capital campaign as of September 15, 2008. NDCL is grateful for the support provided by all who advance our mission through private philanthropy.

CAPITAL CAMPAIGN UPDATE:

$1 MILLION REACHED

Exciting signs of Capital Campaign progress are emerging across NDCL’s campus this fall as a new parking lot greeted students returning to school; lights on the Lion’s Stadium enabled the introduction of Friday night football games; and six tennis courts at the site of the former auxiliary parking lot fueled hopes of outstanding Girls and Boys Tennis Team seasons. These improvements mark just a few projects already completed thanks to Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin’s first-ever, comprehensive capital campaign. Phase I of the $4 million campaign addresses the most pressing needs identified after two years of extensive community dialogue. The stadium lights and tennis courts are just a few of the dramatic improvements outlined in the broad-based plan of the Capital Campaign. Other areas of focus include endowment funding, technology, performing arts and athletics. Specifically, construction of an indoor athletic facility will open space for physical education classes, wrestling, junior varsity and freshmen sports, etc. Remodeling the current auxiliary gym will create a dedicated space to augment performing arts programs and student assemblies – enhancing theater and music productions. Specialized science laboratory equipment and laptop computers will improve science labs and assist faculty in maximizing the school’s wireless network capabilities and related teaching devices. Kelly (Kane) Keefe, ’93, NDCL Capital Campaign cabinet member, shares her excitement regarding campaign progress. “We are very happy to reach our first milestone for the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year. People believe in this campaign. There is nothing frivolous here in the $4-million campaign. The investments made through this campaign will impact a student’s experience immediately.” Keefe, married to Matthew Keefe and mother of two, ages 2 and 4, is also a new member of the NDCL Board of Directors. She says, “It is wonderful to be involved in a campaign that will affect the entire NDCL community – from scholarships, to athletics, to arts and technology – each Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin

student will benefit. I became involved again in NDCL only a few years ago. Since coming back, I recognize that is has grown to truly embrace the traditions of Notre Dame Academy and Cathedral Latin School. The spirit of these two schools is alive at NDCL.” Also an active member of the NDCL Alumni Association, Keefe says more and more NDCL alumni are staying involved in or coming back to reacquaint themselves with their former high school. “This school continues to challenge itself to stay ahead of the curve,” explains the NDCL alum. “It was interesting to read in the last issue of SEASONS that 100 percent of the 2008 NDCL graduating class went on to college. That is impressive. It goes to prove that this school attracts talented students. This is a place of which alumni, NDA, CL and NDCL should be proud.” She is optimistic NDCL will reach its goal by June 30, 2009. “A financial gift to the NDCL Capital Campaign is a gift in support of the mission and values of this school. The time is right for people to support this school’s first-ever campaign. I am confident that the greater NDCL community will do just that,” Keefe states. Capital Campaign Co-chair Greg Sarkisian, D.O., orthopaedic surgeon and partner with Precision Orthopaedic Specialties, of Chardon, shares her optimism. “I think the cabinet and board members have really helped set the pace of the campaign with significant personal donations. I am very optimistic and believe we are fast approaching $2 million. That is excellent,” reports Dr. Sarkisian. He encourages individuals who may be sitting on the fence to step up and make a donation. “I think it’s time to get off the fence and make a difference,” says the father of Ryan, ‘09; Nikki, ‘11; and Halle, an NDES third grader. “Financially, it may not be a great time, due to what is happening in the stock market, but people have to understand how important this campaign is for the future of the school. While NDCL provides an excellent education, a lot about our facilities are not what they need to be to continue to draw quality students and compete with other high schools. There is never a great time – like having a child, you question, ‘How are we going to provide for this one?’” Dr. Sarkisian says, with a chuckle. “There are a lot of people, like me, who are passionate about this campaign,” Dr. Sarkisian concludes. “I see the need, and I’m glad to be a part of this effort.” If you are interested in making a donation, please contact the NDCL Office of Advancement at [email protected] or call (888) 214-8109, ext. 264.

NDCL Campaign Ignited by $1 Million Lozick Challenge Sr. Jacquelyn Gusdane, SND, president of Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School, is pleased to announce the largest single Foundation gift ever received by NDCL! A $1,000,000 leadership gift to NDCL’s capital campaign, Igniting a Spirit of Community & Faith, has been awarded to the school from The Edward A. and Catherine L. Lozick Foundation. The Lozick Challenge is a three-year capital challenge grant. This announcement comes as this issue of SEASONS goes on press. The Lozick Foundation thoughtfully crafted their challenge grant to maximize NDCL’s efforts. Specifically, it offers a two-for-one match for the first $5,000 of any new donor gift and a one-for-one match for any new gift amount remaining in excess of $5,001 up to $100,000. Gifts may be cash or securities. “This is an unbelievable opportunity we cannot let slip through our fingers. I am filled with hope knowing that with the support of our families, alumni and friends, NDCL can readily meet the annual challenge amount,” says Sr. Jacquelyn. The Lozick Foundation members visited NDCL. Mr. Edward Lozick ’55 spent quality time talking with students and faculty. Mr. Lozick’s chosen word in describing his time at NDCL was “excellent!” As always, our students were welcoming, articulate and engaging. "Please join with me in thanking our good God, rejoicing in our mission and embracing the challenge of this most generous gift given to NDCL by Lozick Foundation. As we celebrate NDCL’s 20th Anniversary, what better gift than to come together through this challenge and secure NDCL’s mission – for the present and well into the future," Sr. Jacquelyn says.

Faculty opens school year with symposium on core value of excellence NDCL’s faculty began the new school year by participating in a symposium on the school’s core value of excellence. Teachers, counselors, and administrators explored the meaning and importance of excellence in a series of panel discussions with more than 30 invited guests, including parents, local elementary school principals, alumni, and Sisters of Notre Dame.

Science teacher Mrs. Denice Teeples enjoys listening to the students’ discussion during the symposium on excellence.

A highlight of the program was a discussion between the entire faculty and a panel of seven current NDCL students. Teachers and students engaged each other on such topics as motivation to achieve, the balance between challenging work and supportive assistance, and the relationship between letter grades and meaningful learning.

Alumni participants in the symposium on excellence included Casey O’Brien ’93, attorney with Petersen & Ibold; Ellen Foley Kessler ’70, commisioner, Lake Metro Parks; and Molly Randel Smith ’95, regional representative for the American Cancer Society.

In the end, the faculty came together to identify a series of common themes and questions regarding our pursuit of excellence that will help shape ongoing professional development activities in the year ahead.

Additional alumni participating in the symposium are Patrick McDonnell ’07 - student, University of Notre Dame; Carrie Fay Stewart ’85 teacher, Park Elementary (Chardon); Carl Kensicki ’08 student, University of Indiana; and Donna Liebenauer ’88 - sign language interpreter, Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center.

NDCL parents Bob Carr, Darlene Schmuhl and Mary Clark participate in the dialogue.

Parents Darlene Schmuhl and David Joyce take the time to discuss excellence as a core value at NDCL.

Panel members included David Joyce, Dr. Joseph Parisi, Karen Tercek and Bernadette Jaces at the symposium. Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin

NDCL ALUMNI NEWS Keven Krajnak ’98

It is hard to describe how awesome it was to be here for the first night game at Lion Stadium on August 29th. Although the rain that came at halftime threatened to put a damper on the big night, the end result—an NDCL win in overtime—was a perfect way to kick off a big weekend at NDCL. In addition to the thousands of fans that packed the stands, we welcomed the Cathedral Latin Class of 1958 to the game, celebrating their 50th Class Reunion that weekend. It was an honor to have them spend 2/3 of their reunion weekend on our campus (they returned for Sunday Mass). Many people told me that the 6th Annual Athletic Hall of Fame Dinner and Ceremony on August 30th was their favorite one yet. Thanks in part to Able Rents and the Winking Lizard, the event had a more festive feeling to it this year but the same great food and

of course our honored guests. The Cathedral Latin Class of 1963 celebrated their 45th Class Reunion in conjunction with the Hall of Fame event, which honored among others classmate Terry Mulligan. Antonia “Toni” Igrec ’81 was among the most excited to be inducted than anyone I can recall. All of our six inductees were honored at halftime of Friday’s football game. To cap off the weekend, the Cathedral Latin Class of 1958 celebrated Mass on Sunday here in the school and enjoyed food and drinks afterward in the library. About 60 were in attendance including spouses. It was a fitting way to end such an important weekend in our school’s history.

variety of alumni I work with. One weekend we’ll be hosting a 50th reunion, and soon after, it’s time for my monthly lunch with the girls from the NDA Class of 1947. That is what makes the Athletic Hall of Fame my favorite NDCL event—CL, NDA, and NDCL under one tent celebrating the accomplishments of our alumni.

The event raised approximately $12,000 for NDCL students. The winning foursome, with a score of 59, was John Poole, John Poole, Jr., Kevin O’Brien, and Bob Rein. Their names are engraved on the NDCL Golf Classic Trophy on permanent display in NDCL’s McGarry Gym lobby.

We will once again be hosting the Alumni Basketball Game this December. The date will be announced soon, so stay tuned!
