PRESIDENT’S LETTER
“Key to the solving journey
and the self-identification of students
as problem solvers is the three
question model you will read about
throughout this edition:
What problems are you solving right now?
What are you curious about?
What could I learn from your work?”
I’ve been asked by several people recently what has surprised
me most about Benilde-St. Margaret’s School. One thing that
comes to mind in response to that question is that I’ve been
pleasantly surprised by how well poised BSM is to be a truly
extraordinary school-a national model of what a Catholic college-preparatory school can be.
At Benilde-St. Margaret’s School we are building upon our
rigorous academic core, our robust and widely available
extracurricular activities, and our nationally recognized
programming to further nurture a culture of inquiry for all
students at all grade levels. Our sense of communio (Latin for
fellowship or community) allows us to teach and learn in a
manner that is uniquely Catholic; we all grow as members
of a community of learners in a faith-filled and uniquely caring
environment. This culture and the manner in which our
students strive together to solve problems that matter are
key differentiators of the BSM experience.
As we look to more fully develop and manifest each student’s
solving journey, beginning in 2017 all students will have a
Solver’s Portfolio upon graduation that articulates their problemsolving experiences in a relevant, real-world way. This digital
portfolio will map each student’s unique solving journey
through BSM and we think it will give them a competitive
advantage in getting into the college or university of their choice.
Key to the solving journey and the self-identification of students as
problem solvers is the three question model you will read about
throughout this edition: What problems are you solving right now?
What are you curious about? What could I learn from your work?
Students will be asked these questions repeatedly by faculty, staff,
and other members of our community. They will come to expect to
be asked these questions and they will know that we expect answers.
At Benilde-St. Margaret’s School our primary focus is to develop
intelligent, engaged servant leaders who leverage their faith and
strive together to solve problems that matter. As we look to the
future and work hard to reach our full potential as a school, I am
optimistic and energized. It is a great time to be a Red Knight!
God bless you,
Kevin Gyolai, Ph.D.

ATHLETIC
Hall of
Coaches, Athletes Enter Hall of Fame
The BSM Athletic Hall of Fame celebrated its second year of
inductees on September 12. It is a wonderful community event
honoring the outstanding athletic accomplishments and contributions to the athletic history and traditions of St. Margaret’s
Academy, Benilde High School, and Benilde-St. Margaret’s.
Whether in his role as teacher, coach, dean, or friend, Jim
Joranger personifies the best qualities of Catholic education.
Jim started at Benilde High School and made the transition to
Benilde-St. Margaret’s. A baseball player at DeLaSalle, Jim
demonstrated his versatility by coaching three different Red
Knight sports. Gridders, grapplers, and golfers were all guided
by “Joe Ranger.” A Benilde alum remembers Jim as, “A
tremendous teacher and one of the best coaches I’ve ever had.”
Although Jim is no longer on the faculty and coaching roster,
we celebrate his legacy on the links each June at the annual
Joranger Open.
A high school and college runner turned math teacher and
coach, Ron Kretsch understands the importance of numbers.
His dedication to Benilde, BSM and his students has added
up to some pretty impressive numbers of his own: 40 years
coaching cross country, 38 years teaching math, and 25 years
as a track coach. Included in those years are: 17 cross country
and 6 track conference championships, 4 Catholic State High
School Cross Country Championships, 11 individual state titles
and one relay state title.
Basketball was king and rivalries were fierce in 1966 when
Art Moore ’66 was ending his outstanding career as a Red
Knight cager. The team, coached by Bill Haben, captured the
C.C.C. Championship with an 8-0 record. By all accounts,
Art’s fast break and strong defense played a key role in the
Red Knight victories. His deadly accuracy from the free throw
line made opposing teams dread number 24. A latecomer to
track and field, Art also made his mark on that sport. His
outstanding vertical from basketball translated well into success
in the high jump and hurdles. Art continued his basketball career
as a scholarship player for the Creighton Blue Jays.
Playing hockey for Benilde was just the beginning for Jeff
Rochat-Boeser ’71. Trading in his Benilde red for Tommie
purple, number 13 was twice named to the All-MIAC team.
His junior and senior year, Jeff lead the University of
St. Thomas hockey team to consecutive NAIA national
championships, and was named the conference’s Most Valuable
Performer in 1974. Jeff is third on the UST all-time scoring list
and fifth on the same MIAC list. After college, Jeff played on
the 1976 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team. The only Red Knight
to claim the title of Olympian, he was also a member of the
Finnish elite hockey league in Europe. A member of the
St. Thomas Athletic Hall of Fame, Jeff recently returned to
UST to work with the hockey program and was named head
coach in 2010.
2014 Inductees—All of the 2014 Hall of Fame inductees were present for the celebration: (l-r) Ron Kretsch, Jeff Rochat-Boeser ’71, Paul Hazuka ’75,
Jill Somers Riverso ’77, Jim Joranger, Peggy Kemp Kratz ’78, Pat Kocourek ’85 and Art Moore ’66
A standout in three sports – football, basketball, and track –
Paul Hazuka ’75 made his mark in the history books in track.
In Benilde’s last year, Paul won the independent schools’ state
championship in two events, individually in the 880, and as a
member of the mile relay team. Then, during the first year of
BSM, the independent schools were moved into the Minnesota
State High School League. Paul was the first ever private
school student to win a Minnesota State High School League
championship. With that title, he also became BSM’s first state
champion. Paul continued his success on the track and the football field at St. John’s University.
Hamline’s 1979-1980 Women’s AIAW National Championship
Team. A two-time college state swimming champion, Peggy
earned five All-American titles. Her record for the 500
freestyle still stands at St. Catherine’s. This is Peggy’s third
Hall of Fame Induction – she is already a member of the
Athletic Hall of Fame at Hamline University and St. Catherine’s.
BSM’s first female state champion earned her honors in the
pool. Peggy Kemp Kratz ’78 swam for BSM’s co-ed team for
three years and was a proud member of the first girls’ swim
team her senior year. She was state champion in the 200 and
500 freestyle. In college, Peggy swam for Hamline University
and the College of St. Catherine. She was a member of
Nominations for the 2015 Hall of Fame will
be accepted through May 15, 2015.
Although Jill Somers Riverso ’77 lists five sports on her high
school resume, basketball was really her game. As part of the
state championship team at St. Margaret’s Academy her freshman year, Jill continued her winning tradition at BSM. Thanks
to Jill and her teammates, the Red Knights were a force to be
reckoned with. Conference Champions in ’75, ’76, and ’77, the
girls advanced to the State tournament in both ’76 and ’77.
After her college basketball career, Jill brought her competitive
spirit back to Benilde-St. Margaret’s where she coached the
girls’ basketball team for six very successful seasons.
The rising popularity of soccer in the ‘80s brought with it a
new crop of athletes. Pat Kocourek ’85 quickly rose to the
top. One of the top five all-time scorers for BSM, Pat led the
Red Knights to a conference title his senior year. Pat also
captained the hockey and tennis teams in his senior year. In
fact, for hockey, Pat is fifth on BSM’s list for career goals and
in the top ten for career points. Playing soccer for Providence
College, Pat earned All-New England and All-Big East honors.
He remains number two on the all-time scoring list for the
Friars. Pat was also invited to the USA National Select Team
tryouts after college, and was the first Red Knight to play
professional soccer. Pat played for the Minnesota Thunder
from 1990-1992.

Cover Story

BSM Reflections:
What Can We Learn From Your Work?
For decades there has been a rewarding relationship between Benilde-St. Margaret’s School and Hammer Residences.
Hammer provides BSM students hands-on opportunities to live out their faith through service, and widen their
understanding of human differences, need and dignity. BSM students provide energetic companionship
while helping residents with outings, events and social activities. Recently, one answer to the question
“What can we learn from your work?” was actively explored at a workshop where Hammer Residences clients
and staff shared their experience and knowledge of grassroots advocacy with BSM students.
Four BSM alumni who work in various capacities at Hammer
Residences have also put their thoughts together in answer to
the questions, “How did your BSM experience prepare you for
what you do today?” and “What can we learn from your work?”
I have worked at Hammer Residences for
the last three and a half years. I started
working in direct care as a manager of
one of our group home programs.
Currently, I am the Communication
Specialist. I run all of our social media
platforms and a weekly blog, keep our
website up to date, coordinate media
relations, assist with print media projects
and continually work with my director to share the stories of
Hammer in a respectful and meaningful way.
Devin Harrington ’05
Through my work at Hammer, I have come to know the difference between a job and a true vocation. It is one thing to get up
each weekday and do what you need to do to earn some money
and gain professional experience. It is quite another thing to get
up, go to a place where you can do both of those things and
also get a sense of fulfillment from what you do, knowing that
you are making a positive difference in your part of the world.
My work at Hammer constantly reminds me of the concepts
of solidarity and option for the poor and vulnerable, two tenets
of Catholic Social Teaching, that I first learned about at BSM.
Working for an organization whose mission is so closely
aligned with these values is important to me and is quite
rewarding. At both BSM and Hammer, I have found strong
communities committed to service, stewardship, respect
and compassion.
I have been a receptionist at Hammer for
14 years. Our mission at Hammer is to
provide children and adults with developmental disabilities the opportunity to live
life to its fullest. A greeting filled with a
warm feeling of hospitality that provides
top notch customer service is my goal as
the first point of contact for people who
call or come through the door. I have
developed relationships with those we
serve, their family members, and our employees. Volunteering is
another opportunity I’ve been involved in at Hammer. I have to
say that Hammer has been the best place to work, and the sense
of community that I found at Benilde-St. Margaret’s is something
that I valued and wanted to find at my place of employment.
Stefanie Rea Miller ’85
No matter where we’re at in our lives, the things that are core to
who we are as individuals can be a guiding light for us in life.
Community—the coming together of many unique people—is
what has made my career rich and satisfying.
During my time at BSM, I participated in
many activities, including P.R.O. (Peers
Respecting Others), Link Crew, volunteering at Jones-Harrison Residence, and participating on both the basketball and track
teams. Throughout my many experiences
and opportunities at BSM, I learned a lot of
different things about service, giving back
to the community, and what it means to be a
servant leader. Upon graduating, I pursued a
degree in psychology from the College of
Saint Benedict, where my skills and experiences acquired from
BSM helped me to graduate this past spring and secure a job with
Hammer Residences.
Tish Alexander ’10
For the past four months, I have been working as the Assistant
Program Manager (APM) of the Unity house at Hammer, providing individuals with developmental disabilities the opportunity to
live a more independent and fulfilling life. As the APM, I help the
ladies in my house with financial affairs, I take them out into the
community to make connections and be more independent, and
I also give them the respect they deserve as individuals in our
community. The work I do daily reminds me of a quote I learned in
11th grade Christian Service class at BSM: “Being a leader is not
about the number of people that follow you, but about the number
of people you serve.” It is apparent in the work I do every day the
impact BSM has had on me, and through my experiences gained,
I have been able to put my skills to use and be the servant leader
I was taught to be.
Through my 24 years at Hammer, I have had multiple roles, the
last six as the Director of Information
Systems. As Director of IS, I am responsible
for the budget, management and security of
our network and data infrastructure. All of
my roles over the years at Hammer have
taught me countless lessons that often come
into play. The most critical work lesson I
have learned is to stay focused on our mission of supporting individuals to experience
life to its fullest. Maintaining that focus, we
feel we can’t go wrong as a department no
matter what direction the ever-changing world of technology takes
us. In the IS Department we feel we are keeping that focus if the
hardware or software solutions we put in place not only meet the
tech needs, but also help the organization become more efficient,
thereby allowing the staff/volunteers to stay focused on the
individuals, not on the technology.
Dan Bottiger ’86
The biggest value lesson from my time at Hammer is that the
people (the individuals, staff and volunteers) are much more
important than the paycheck. The sense of community within
this organization is the value-add that I could never quantify.
Occasionally there are struggles and frustrations in my job, but
I really don’t have to go too far before the struggle turns into an
opportunity. Even though I have a basement office tucked away
from most of our 500+ employees, I often get to go to one of our
46 homes or apartments. These opportunities are what continually
reinvigorate me. I see firsthand Hammer’s mission in practice, the
commitment of very dedicated and caring staff and volunteers.
Reflecting back on my four years at BSM, I learned how the
uniqueness in everybody is what really makes this sense of community so wonderful. Learning the value of this broad sense of
community has followed me through my career. I have had the
opportunity to work with people from all over the world whose life
experiences are totally different than mine. Sitting and talking with,
as well as learning about those around me has really broadened my
perspective, not only in how I do my job, but in how I live my life.

Questions Lead to Opportunities
“What sparks your curiosity?” For Nicole Sauer, a strong sense of curiosity has landed her in a grain
processing plant in Memphis, Tennessee. Technically, Nicole, a 2012 alumna and valedictorian, is a
student at The University of Minnesota’s College of Science and Engineering. She is working at the
Cargill plant as part of a cooperative education program with the U. While working at a processing
plant seems to be an odd place for a 20-year-old college student, Nicole’s quest for answers has her
straying from the traditional college path to blaze her own.
As a freshman studying to earn her degree in chemical engineering, Nicole received a mass e-mail
from the engineering school about a research fellowship through the University of Delaware
and the Department of Energy.
These fellowships are extremely competitive and almost always reserved for upperclassmen,
but Nicole was curious. She asked one of the professors on the committee to tell her
more about the opportunity. Then, with his encouragement, she applied for, and, to her
surprise, received the grant. She spent the summer following her freshman year getting
paid by the federal government to work in a laboratory, researching ways to make the
process of separating chemicals in the refining of ethanol more efficient.
Nicole’s original goal upon starting the project was to uncover ways to make energy
sources (biofuels, wind and solar energy) ecologically sustainable for a global society that
is expected to grow to nine billion people by 2050. Realizing that energy was only part of
the equation, Nicole fueled her growing curiosity. She went from wondering, “How do
we provide power to nine billion people?” to “How do we maximize the resources
we have available to feed them?”
To find answers to that question, Nicole understood she needed real-world experience.
So she took a semester off from school to work in the co-op program for Cargill. By
stepping out of her student-researcher role into the position of full-time employee, Nicole
began to witness firsthand the engineering processes behind food production. It is messy
work at times, but Nicole is passionate and proud to be part of a team that is developing
new procedures to get the most out of each and every harvest.
The coming year brings with it a new adventure. In January, Nicole will leave for a
semester abroad in Florence, Italy. She plans to recharge her academic battery by studying
art history, photography, Italian and the violin. When she returns to Minnesota next spring,
her plan is to work for Cargill for the summer at a different plant to deepen her
understanding of food production. Fall will find her back at the U, finishing her degree.
As Nicole moves forward with her education and research, the BSM community takes great
pride in knowing that her willingness to work both inside and outside the classroom to uncover
answers to looming global problems makes the future look brighter for all of us.

ious about? • What could I learn from your work? • What problems are you solving right now? • What are you curious about? • What could I learn
Joe Frenz ’78 remembers reading about the great wildfires in
Yellowstone in 1988 and having it pique his interest. At the time,
there was a family business to run and children to raise and send to
school. (Daughters Jessica ’05 and Jennifer ’07 both graduated
from BSM.) The thought and the article were both filed away.
A year later, there was another article in the paper about a wildfire
and those who fought it, only this time he left it out for his wife
to see, and he asked her what she thought. He decided to take one
five-day course.
Today, Joe is one of the most sought-after fire technicians in the
country, a leader in the “hot shot” firefighter world. He has completed over 50 training courses and teaches many of them himself.
Joe is often the first one on the scene when disaster strikes. He’s a
task force leader, sometimes on the job by himself and sometimes
in charge of hundreds of people. Not only fires, but hurricanes,
floods, and missing-persons cases – to name a few – all receive
Joe’s quick response. Five years ago, he led the successful completion of a 500-acre fire in Floodwood, Minnesota. That experience
solidified his tenacity and ability to lead while the fires raged.
He was praised for his grace under fire…literally. Experiences like
that “make you feel good about what you’ve learned, prepared, and
trained for. You’ve got no time to think,” says Joe.
This past summer in Idaho, Joe was the first person on the scene
for a 16-acre fire in the middle of millions of dollars of timber.
He fought for five days with over one hundred people.
With the family auto-repair business being sold in 2013 after a
32-year run, Joe could be enjoying the fruits of his labor. Instead,
he's busier than ever, spending about 60 percent of the year working for the Minnesota DNR, doing instruction, and the remainder
of the time working for the US Forest Service. He’s been on
assignment in almost every state and gets called for out-of-state
assignments almost every month. He has no plans to retire, and
sheepishly admits that he does enjoy “beating the younger people”
in their physical tests of carrying a 45-pound pack for three miles
in under 45 minutes. (He can do it in less than 35 minutes!)
Joe’s quick ascent in the ranks in his industry attests to his ability
as a leader. He describes his leadership style as “treating people
like you’d like to be treated” and credits his Catholic education
for helping him develop his guiding principle of “caring for
people.” The safety and well-being of his teams is paramount.
Joe is a shining example of a Red Knight who is humbly
and successfully solving problems that matter.

Danny Fritsche ‘15 took first
place at the North American
Sport Karate Association's
(NASKA's) largest tournament, Diamond Nationals, to
become the national champion
in black belt team form.
He and his teammate then
competed for the world title on the championship stage on October 11. Their efforts
resulted in a third place finish. Danny, a third
degree black belt, is one of only 12 National
Karate competitors who have made it to the
championship stage in 37 years of Diamond
Nationals’ history.
The Red Knights were well represented at the
state meet. Five swimmers covered seven
events. At the section meet in individual
events Madison Semler ’17 qualified in the
200- and 500-yard freestyle. Claire Torgerson
’17 qualified in the 50-yard freestyle and the
100-yard butterfly, and Ava Schieffert ’19
advanced in the 50-yard freestyle. Grace
Hedin won both the 200- and 100-yard
freestyle. The 200- and 400-yard freestyle
relays set meet records at sections with
Torgerson, Schieffert, Maria Satre ’17, and
Hedin. Grace Hedin was named the Swimmer
of the Meet.

As the reunion coordinator and facilitator, I have the privilege of interacting with
many of our wonderful graduates. Recently I had the opportunity to meet with two
very special alumnae and listen to their stories.
Eileen Comer Costello (left) and
Marilyn Comer Tellers are sisters in
more than one sense of the word. The
two oldest of six children, they are
St. Margaret’s Academy sisters as well.
Eileen graduated in 1939, and Marilyn
in 1941.
The Comer sisters attended SMA when
it was housed in the McNair Mansion, right next to the Basilica of St. Mary. The
school was later torn down to make room for Interstate Highway 94. Some people
might assume that since their school was housed in a mansion, the girls attending
SMA must come from privileged families. “Not true,” says Eileen. By her estimation,
at least half of the girls in her class worked at the school, cooking in the lunchroom
and cleaning classrooms to pay their way.
Eileen started at SMA as the Great Depression was winding down. Their family of
eight lived in a two-bedroom bungalow in Bryn Mawr. It was cozy quarters, with the
youngest sleeping in his baby buggy in the dining room, but the sisters knew they
were blessed. Their father was able to keep his position in the Sporting and Luggage
Department at Dayton’s throughout the economic crisis.
The bombing of Pearl Harbor occurred in December of Marilyn's senior year. She
remembers feeling as if all the men were gone, off fighting the unseen enemy.
Homecoming Royalty Shelby Erickson and Jay Weber
Junior Mae Fullerton
qualified for the state
cross county meet by
placing in the top 10 at
the 6AA Section Meet
on October 22.
Sitting at Good Day Café, chatting over lunch, the sisters laugh and take turns
reminiscing about their time at SMA. Eileen remembers playing an Ethiopian slave
in the school production of A Dream of Queen Esther. They had three performances,
two in the afternoon and one at night. The nuns were front and center for the afternoon
shows, but were not allowed out at night to attend the finale. The play was very
serious, but the girls found ways to jazz up the evening performance and made the
final performance a comedy.
Marilyn speaks fondly of her teachers from SMA. She learned to sew from her home
economics teacher, Charlotte Stevens, the only lay person teaching at the school. Both
sisters helped their mother make their uniforms, blue jumpers with a white, buttondown shirt and a blue ribbon bow tie. They even made special skirts to wear over
their gym shorts in case they went outside. (SMA students were not allowed to show
their legs in public.) Instead of the skirts having to be a certain length, they had to be

Sister Vincent De Paul, or Sister VDP, was their favorite math teacher, and Sister
Joan taught English. Her passion was contagious, and she instilled in both sisters a
deep love of reading.
Eileen graduated at the Alvin Theatre downtown, and Marilyn’s commencement was
at the Woman’s Club. Each participated in the tradition of wearing a white cap and
gown with white pumps and carrying a dozen red roses. The sisters were happy to
hear that our female graduates still carry flowers on graduation day.

Although the roots of the flowers don’t visibly show when carried by the graduates,
the roots of our school, steeped in the rich traditions of St. Margaret’s Academy, are
ever present.

Dear Friends,
Thank you for making 2013-2014 another
remarkable year for Benilde-St. Margaret’s
School. This past year marked the 40th
anniversary of the merger of Benilde and
St. Margaret’s Academy. Dedicated to our
mission, faculty and staff provide a faithfilled, academically rigorous education to
over 1170 students who graduate with the
understanding that they are called to be servant leaders.
Through your generosity, we raised over $1,050,000 in Annual Fund
and $735,000 in restricted gift support. This allows BSM to offer an
incredible educational experience that engages students both inside
and outside of the classroom by providing challenging course work and
extensive extracurricular activities rooted in our LaSallian mission.

Letter from the Board Chair
In 2013-14, the Benilde-St. Margaret’s community experienced a year of celebration and transition. Our 40th birthday offered the
opportunity to reflect on the past and to honor the multitude of supporters who have invested in the school’s mission. With their
help, Benilde-St. Margaret’s is the top Catholic college-preparatory experience in the Twin Cities. Thank you! We owe special
thanks to Dr. Bob Tift ’71 who served our community for 22 years with a huge heart for our mission. His legacy will endure in the
yearly tuition assistance that the Bob Tift Endowment will provide.
Last year also was marked by continued progress toward bolstering the school’s solid financial platform. This is critical for
several reasons. First, Benilde-St. Margaret’s must continue to be accessible and affordable for families in order to meet its
Catholic mission. Importantly, nearly $1.4 million of tuition assistance was provided to more than 200 students in 2013-14;
however, this support falls short of covering all demonstrated need. Second, the school’s facilities and programs require regular
investment in order to preserve and advance them. As a result, the school has begun to develop a longer term facilities plan that
will align with the strategic priorities of BSM2020 and will require significant future investment. Finally, Benilde-St. Margaret’s
expects its faculty/staff to deliver a stellar student experience and, in return, we must continue to provide competitive
compensation packages to retain the talented employees who are the daily foundation on which our community depends.
Looking toward Benilde-St. Margaret’s future under the leadership of Dr. Kevin Gyolai, we are all called to reflect on our
community’s strategic vision: striving together to solve problems that matter. As Board chair and a parent of four students/
alumni, the “problem that matters” that holds my attention is a vital future for Benilde-St. Margaret’s. There are many
challenges, including an archdiocese in crisis and shrinking Catholic elementary school enrollment. However, working together,
the opportunities are greater. Benilde-St. Margaret’s is poised to become a model for what works in Catholic education,
developing caring and curious collaborators who understand what God asks of each of us and who build the Kingdom of God
in the here and now … one day, one encounter, one problem solved, at a time.
Thank you for supporting Benilde-St. Margaret’s. Together, our gifts provide much needed funding for delivering a student
experience that’s marked by a culture of inquiry with a solid moral focus. Together, our ongoing and generous support will
enable Benilde-St. Margaret’s
to continue to form new servant
leaders who will tackle and solve
the “problems that matter”
for our world.
With gratitude,
Sheila Letscher

Annual Report
A Knight for All
Seasons
Supporters
Benilde-St. Margaret’s is
more than a school; it is a
community. Our Knight for
All Seasons auction plays a
vital role in fostering the
sense of community and
reinforcing the ties between
fellow parents, alumni, faculty
and staff, and friends of BSM.
Additionally, this event
provides vital funds to the
school’s operating budget
each year. Last year, our
Knight for All Seasons auction
provided general operating
support for the school as
well as tuition assistance for
our students.
We are grateful for the
individuals and organizations
that contributed to making our
evening such a success.
