I recognize there was much to celebrate in this 140th year of St. Mary’s High School.
We celebrated our alumni, faculty and our student body. We celebrated the Class of 2016. We
celebrated all the great things that happen daily at St. Mary’s. We celebrated classes spending
a day at St. Mary’s Interfaith Dining Hall, we celebrated our award winning theater department,
we celebrated our art department, we celebrated our speech program, we celebrated our music
department, we celebrated our Model UN team, we celebrated the community involvement of
our students and their charitable donations to many causes. We celebrated our athletic program
which included the nationally ranked #1 Girls Basketball Team in the country and we celebrated
Mr. Greg Traverso ’79 as the new Development Director. We are excited to have Greg take on this significant role
in our school community as we look forward to the future.
Mark Apostolon from the Latino Times March 2016, wrote an article about St. Mary’s and it began:
This year, Stockton’s iconic St. Mary’s High School is celebrating a milestone of 140 years with
continued school spirit, reinvigorated commitment from alumni, and a recent exhibition at the
Haggin Museum entitled ‘Saint Mary’s: 140 Years of Milestones & Memories,’ which featured
memorabilia from the school and athletic uniforms, to photos and trophies from the school’s
archives. Those milestones are significant because on its 140th anniversary, St. Mary’s is still
making memories for its alumni and student body while continuing its legacy as an important pillar
of the Stockton community.
In refection of the 140th year and my role as president, it is imperative that we always remember our school’s
mission and purpose. This inevitably raises the question: What is your school’s purpose? My response, which I
discovered from my mentor and friend the late Fr. Clark Kelley: Is to get our students to heaven or at least show
them how.
More so today than in the early years of Catholic education, our schools have become the last bastions for truth
and direction for our children. Most high schools, public or private, or charter do a good job of educating our
students in the basic secondary school rigor.
The difference in a Catholic high school education like St. Mary’s should be our formation of students in these
truths: God intended to create them, he loves them, he gave them the whole universe to study in order to find him
and he wants them to become what he created them to be. Consequently, our vision at St. Mary’s for our students
is taken from the words of St. Francis de Sales: “Be who you are and be that well.”
After all we know that God made everything and in everything we should observe his creative hand. As Catholic
educators, we should be expanding our students’ understanding of what God wants them to be and what he
wants them to accomplish.
We know that our value soars beyond the cost of tuition to teach eternal reward and that value makes our parents’
investment in their children’s education priceless.
Therefore, our primary purpose at St. Mary’s, as it has been for 140 years, is to spread the Gospel of Christ, to form
a life of prayer and worship, to serve the needs of others and to build a Catholic Christian community.
Please keep us in your prayers as we do you on the third Wednesday of each month by offering the Mass for all
those who support St. Mary’s.
Respectfully in the Lord,

principal’s message
Pursuit of Excellence You hear it all the time, but to actually experience it first-hand is truly
remarkable. Excellence is what leads to success. But it takes courage to pursue excellence. Over
the past 140 years, Saint Mary’s High School has shown the courage and foresight it takes to achieve
excellence. A quote of St. Francis de Sales sums up what SMHS has done for the past 140 years:
“Doing the ordinary things extraordinarily well.”
Kathy Smith
St. Mary’s has always been committed to fostering a Catholic teaching and learning community. Our
students have always been a shining light in our community. As they navigate their way through school,
the administration and faculty have instilled in them that high school is much more than earning a
diploma. Throughout all these years, Saint Mary’s students have always been encouraged to discover
their talents, to pursue their goals and to discover who they are.
Do you remember when?
In 1925 school started on September 2nd and graduation was June 24th. Also that year, Fire Chief
Murphy addressed the students on “Fire Prevention Week,” and the seniors were allowed to use the front
door entrance.
In 1931 Agnes Warren was appointed student body president of St. Agnes and Jack Briscoe was appointed
student body president of St. Mary’s. Father Joseph Tetslaff, Provincial of the Brothers of Mary, paid his
annual visit to the school of St. Mary’s and the seniors spent half the night painting the ’31 on the school
fence. There were only thirty-three students in the senior class.
In 1940 the students of the senior class published their senior memories and dedicated the book to
“our beloved teachers, the Dominican Sisters.” Aimee Arbios said, “Many, many times during these last
four years I have heard the Sisters talk to one another in praise of this class’s ability and industry, and the
splendid showing they have made on the honor roll each month.”
In 1951 The Cauldron was dedicated to the memory of our friend and pastor, Monsignor McGough and
the Korean War brought to many an uncertainty about the future.
In 1962 the faculty had thirteen Sisters and five Priests. On staff was Mr. Seldon Brusa who is the father of
Jim Brusa, our current athletic director.

In 1972 the theme for Homecoming was “Ramelot”, and the winning floats were the senior float for the classes, G.A.A. float for
clubs, and the winning individual entry was the clown. St. Mary’s second annual Ramarama Carnival grossed over $4500, bringing
much-needed funds to the Student Council. Also in the seventies, it was not uncommon to have to share a locker with two or three
other people.
In 1981 for the first time ever, the football team held pre-game meals, the SM retreats took on a new dimension as junior and senior
girls and boys joined together on one big year-ending retreat. SM established a new tradition for initiating freshmen by passing out
green Alma Mater cards and having the freshmen memorize the words. The fall play was “Go Ask Alice,” featuring Mary Ann Vasquez
in the title role.
In the 1992/93 school year, Mick Scatena and Jeannine Cubiburu were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. Five seniors
in the class of ’93 received athletic scholarships to various colleges. Chad Cole received a football scholarship to U.O.P., Damon
Perasso received a football scholarship to U.O.P., Angela Gotelli went to Washington State on a volleyball scholarship, Lauri Hill
received a volleyball scholarship to USC and Jamie Elson received a volleyball scholarship to Santa Clara.
In 2000 a description in The Cauldron reads, “It isn’t the largest high school on the block, or even on the corner. But, contrary to
popular notion, the parts of Saint Mary’s are greater than their sum. The people walking the halls every day are the true essence of
the school. Without students, there is nothing here - no sports, no school, no nothing. The intrepid inhabitants of SM are what keep
the school going, emotionally and spiritually. They are the integral cogs that keep the place running.”
In 2016 100 percent of the senior class graduated and students were offered $15,598,716 in college scholarships.
So there you have it, our most cherished possessions – you the students and alumni of Saint Mary’s High School. It is because
of you that we are able to celebrate 140 years of excellence. We continue to challenge ourselves, as we are committed to
moving forward and finding ways to improve upon the calling that God has brought us to, which is to make a difference in the
lives of our students.
Community, traditions and spirituality have always been at the core of what has made St. Mary’s High School stand out among
other schools in our area. I am often asked what tradition means to me and how I connect it to Saint Mary’s High School. It is
perhaps best explained for me as your principal in the April/May 2009 National Catholic Education association Momentum
magazine, “We must always keep in mind that tradition is not just sitting on the past; but it involves meeting the needs of the
present and moving forward into the future.”
140 years ago we were built on a solid foundation. Our light has shone brightly for all these years and will continue to do so for
many years to come. Happy Birthday Saint Mary’s. Thank you for 140 years of milestones and memories.

State Delegate
Michael Reyes ’17 was a member on the

Performance Index (API) and lobby the proposal at the State
Capitol. Working with Senator Galgiani and Assembly Member

development
Saint Mary’s High School welcomes Mr. Greg Traverso as the Director of
Development. Greg comes from a long line of Saint Mary’s graduates. In fact, his
children, Nick ’15, Joey ’16 and Elizabeth ’18, are the fifth generation to attend
Saint Mary’s. Greg graduated from Saint Mary’s in 1979 and worked for his
father at the Yellow Submarine sandwich shop on Harding Way for many years
while intermediately traveling the world. He returned to school and received
his teaching credential from the University of San Francisco, where he met his
wife Susan. Eventually, Greg settled back to his roots at Saint Mary’s in 1994,
teaching World Geography and serving as the Dean of Students for the past
twenty-two years.
Director of Development’s Message...Coming Home
So where is the Development Office heading? We
are Coming Home. We want to provide the road
map through a series of events which will bring all
the Rams back to campus--not only for a fresh look
at a campus that for many has changed, but also
to renew friendships and lend
a much needed hand in the
development of our future. I
have
experienced coming
home to St. Mary’s, and I want
our alumni—as well as former
teachers and staff, parents,
and supporters—to be excited
about coming home as well.
and guide a fellow Ram. We want our alumni and
supporters to see how hard our students work, how
much pride they have in the Green and White, and
how well they represent our community and legacy.
The journey from our 140th Anniversary in 2016 to
our 150th Anniversary in 2026
will be an exciting time for Saint
Mary’s.
We envision a time
when we have a substantial
educational
endowment
that will help families who
would otherwise not have the
opportunity to afford to send
their children to Saint Mary's
and be able to enjoy the
lifelong benefits of receiving
a Catholic education. With all
of the challenges we face in
these times, it is reassuring that
Saint Mary’s remains true to its
mission and that it is a beacon
of light in our community for
our students, our alumni, and
all of those who have been
inspired by who we are over
the generations. It is my hope and vision that you
will join with other Rams to shape a future which can
and will be even more outstanding than the past 140
years have been.
Coming home
to Saint Mary’s
to teach at the
school that did
so much for me
in my early years
and cemented
so many life-long
friendships was
an incredible
experience.
As we face the future head
on, we are dedicated to
continuing to strengthen our
Saint Mary's relationships and
creating new ones. In an effort
to achieve this, we are excited
to announce that we are in the
process of starting an Alumni
Association and we welcome
ideas and involvement from our
alumni and other supporters.
A project that is beginning to take form is that of
connecting our current and future Rams to alumni
professionals for career guidance. It will be a mutually
beneficial way for our students to gain connections
and build relationships, and for our alumni to mentor
We have started a volunteer community of friends, families and alumni that help
with special events and projects. Please join us!

*Now de-committed after resignation of Husker’s long-time coach. New commitment pending.
Receiving the Naismith Award for being the top girl’s high school coach in the country
is a very humbling experience for me. I take coaching very seriously and have spent
my adult life working to perfect my craft. My level of passion and work ethic has
enabled me to enjoy tremendous successes, like winning this prestigious award.

Mission Trip
A group of 18 St. Mary’s students, organized by Mr. Harrison Brehm and Mrs. Margo
Kozina, spent their Easter vacation in McAllen, Texas to refurbish homes for the poor
through Catholic Mission Trips. Thank you to all the generous donors who contributed to
make this trip possible.
This mission trip to McAllen, Texas has been such an enriching experience that has
emphasized and instilled in me the values of humility, selflessness, and fidelity to the
Lord. We worked with Habitat for Humanity and Catholic Charities to renovate and rebuild
worn down houses for families who especially needed our help. The opportunity to help
these struggling families who are so less fortunate than I am showed me to value all the
many blessings and luxuries that I have and to not waste any single one of them. As well
as building houses, we were encouraged to strengthen our faith in Christ and to focus
on the themes of God’s infinite love and mercy. It was a very emotional experience, and I
can honestly say that I’ve never felt closer and more sought by God during this trip. It was
as if he was talking to me throughout the whole trip. I formed unbreakable bonds with my
classmates through this experience and formed memories that I will never forget.

personnel, industrial and labor relations with Shell Oil
and United Technologies Chemical Systems. He was an

was a devout Catholic and proud of his Italian heritage.
Mr. Schenone is the founder of the St. Mary’s High School
Class of 1948 Memorial Mass. In 2006, he created St.
Mary’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Mr. Schenone was inducted
into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2009. He also sponsored a

SMHS were very exciting! We were the first sophomore class at
the El Dorado St. Campus after spending our freshman year at the
Annunciation Campus. We received such a good education, and
were blessed with so many memories
and friendships. Our high school YA
YA’s (as we call ourselves) have been
a bond of lasting friendships since our
graduation. We have been gathering
over the years just so we can keep up
to date with each other’s lives. Our time
together is a time for sharing, laughter,
and reminiscing good times, bad times,
sad times, success stories, and life’s challenges. We are there for
each other whenever there is a need. We talk about our high school
days as if it were yesterday, not to mention keeping track of all our
children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, husbands and friends.
These visits remind us of how special these lasting friendships are
and only hope the high school students of today can maintain their
memories and friendships as we have done.
