MARDI GRAS...
...came a week early this year, with costumes, beads and an after school celebration
that included foods from around the world as well as a piper for the crowds. The day was
completed with the well attended Talent Show in the evening. Thanks to all the faculty, staff
and Clubs who made the day a success! (left: Patrick Hopkins ‘12 bounced his way through
the halls as Tigger during SJ’s Mardi Gras celebrations)
Suessical soon. Oh the places you’ll
go! This year’s musical at SJ, Seussical,
will open at the end of March. As songs are
rehearsed and sets are built, the ensemble
is now offering ads for sale to appear in the
program. It’s a great way for businesses and
individuals to get exposure and support the
arts at SJ. Ads start at just $5 for a single
line, to $60 for a full page—great value for
any event. For more information, email
Ms Loso at [email protected]. Deadline
for all ads is Friday, March 2nd.
Juniors begin College Program. Following
the successful College Planning evening last month,
Guidance began last week in earnest preparing our
Juniors for what lays beyond their four years at SJ.
College Workshops for the Class of 2013 include: SATs/
ACTs, Building your Transcript and Resume, Getting
Involved; Naviance, Building your college list; The
Common Application and Writing College Essays; The
College Visit and Interview; You make the decision
– looking at real college applications and comparing
application candidates, Financial Aid, and Scholarships.
Holocaust Remembrance. Eighty-nine year old
Mr Frank Stuban, granfather to senior Paul and freshman
Bridget Monks, shared his experiences of World War II,
specifically as a kidnapped young man detained in a forced
labor camp, from 1941-1945.
At just eighteen years of age, Mr Stuban was but one
abductee of over twelve million across Eastern Europe. These
individuals were taken and forced into heavy labor: mixing
cement, building barracks,
digging ditches, breaking
stones and more, for twelve
to fourteen hours every
day, with little more than a
bit of potato soup to sustain
them. Mr Stuban spent
four years in two such
camps: Regensburg and Essen. Blessed with liberation by
the American Forces, Mr Stuban spent a further two years in
a displaced persons camp, before his eventual journey to the
United States.
His stories and remembrances of the War and of the
Holocaust were shared with Ms Lowell’s classes on Friday,
where he freely and candidly answered all questions from
students, as well as offering insight and hope into such a dark
time in our collective history. Thank you, Mr Stuban.

Sports Corner. Congratulations to Junior Steve
D’Ascanio who reached new heights—literally—this
past week as he took the Class M State Championship
in High Jump with a leap of Six Feet Two Inches.
The St Joseph High
School Womens
Basketball has been busy
as well. Senior night featured Nancy Stablein
scoring her 1,000th point of her SJ career,
including 22 points in Wednesday’s game alone.
The women spent the
past weekend off the
court ‘Freezin’ for a Reason’, too. Coach Lindwall
and the team braved the cold February waters of
the Long Island Sound and successfully raised over
$2,000 for the kids at Wakeman Boys & Girls Club.
Next up for the Women is the state tournament:
watch this space.
Finally this week,
congratulations to JV Cheer. The team took
first place in the junior varsity division of the
Naugatuck Greyhound Showdown, in addition
to placing an impressive second overall at the
competition. Go Cadets!
