From the Headmaster
Celebrating the generosity of our community
E
very Thanksgiving, my grandfather, Sylvester Turbes,
started our celebration with a prayer written by Benjamin
Franklin. In the prayer, Franklin recalled a litany of gifts,
which he concluded with the phrase, “Good God, I thank Thee.”
By reading the prayer every year in his distinctive voice and with
a deliberate, purposeful cadence, my grandfather not only left
me with an indelible memory, but also taught me an important
lesson about gratitude. It is a lesson that stays with me to this
day, and one that has been foremost in my mind for the last few
months. Every day, I am grateful for Saint Thomas Academy, its
community, friends and benefactors. The welcome and support
you have given me in my first months as Headmaster leaves me
humbled and appreciative beyond what words can convey.
In this issue of the Saber, we celebrate the contributions of
two men who represent the Academy and its mission impeccably
in their lives. Michael Ciresi ’64, this year’s recipient of the Opus
Sancti Thomae Award, has committed his life to the
pursuit of justice and the common good.
Whether his service has come in a courtroom,
the community or as an ardent supporter of
the Academy, Mike Ciresi has had a lasting
impact on the community and world around
us. The Edward G. Hames Alumni Honors
Award is bestowed upon a man well known
to generations of Cadets, William
Culbertson (honorary alumnus,
Class of 2010). In his 46 years
of service to the Academy
community, “Mr. Culbertson”
has influenced and guided
thousands of young men,
leaving lasting impressions
about the importance of respect, kindness and service. Both
men represent the best of our community, and it is a privilege
to recognize them.
This issue also recognizes those in our community who
have contributed financially to the Academy in the last year,
from those offering their first gift to those adding to a long history
of giving. Whether we are acknowledging the first gifts from
Stu Whitney ’13 and David Zevnik ’13, or the legacy gift of
Vince Flynn ’84, it is important for our community to see how
many of those among us have supported the ongoing mission
of our school, and have helped strengthen it for generations
to come.
The Academy is, always has been, and always will be,
dependent upon the generosity of our community. Every gift to
the Aquinas Fund, our annual fund, helps close the gap we face
each year between tuition revenue and the cost of operating the
school. To keep tuition lower than the total cost of educating a
Cadet, to offer almost $3 million in financial assistance and to
ultimately balance our budget, we rely on gifts of every size from
our families, alumni and extended community. At the same time,
we also have called upon you, our community, to invest in the
future of our school and to build upon the legacy we have
inherited. Through your gifts to the Defining Moment campaign,
you are securing the future of the Academy.
On behalf of the Saint Thomas Academy faculty, staff,
administration, students and parents, I offer you our deepest
thanks. For this institution we love and for the gift of community
we are blessed to share, “Good God, I thank Thee.”
Peace,
Matthew C. Mohs ’90

s a high school freshman, Mike Ciresi followed in
footsteps of his brother, Jerome ’56, to the Academy, but not
by choice. He wanted to go to public high school, but his
father wouldn’t hear of it.
“It was always a given that I would go to the Academy,
but even more so after my mother died when I was in 7th
grade,” he said. “My father felt I needed the structure offered
by the Academy.”
Looking back, Ciresi says he owes his father for that
and much more. “My father was probably the most

instrumental person in my life. Without him, I don’t know
where I’d be today.”
At the Academy, Ciresi thrived, especially as an athlete
in football and hockey. But most important was the influence
of his teachers, men like Jack Campbell, Sy Turbes, Skip
McMahon, George Langeland, Father Jack Lee and
George Schnell.
“The faculty was enormously capable and talented.
They were interested in each and every one of us,” said
Ciresi, who went on to St. Thomas College and the University
of Minnesota Law School. “I was not a great student at the
Academy and I could get by without working too hard. But I
learned so much from those men, especially the importance
of giving back and contributing to the common good.”
In gratitude, Ciresi has been a steadfast supporter of
the Academy. Besides serving on the Board of Trustees and
speaking to students at many Career Days, he established
the Samuel V. Ciresi Scholarship fund in his father’s name to
promote racial diversity. In 2012, he and his wife Ann made a
lead gift to the Defining Moment capital campaign, and he is
a member of STA’s Heritage Society.
I’ve known Mike Ciresi for years. I’ve always
been proud to say that he went to Saint Thomas
Academy as I did. I’m even more proud to know
that Mike has been given the highest award that
Saint Thomas Academy gives for his great service
in the field of law, especially in as much as his
litigation has brought justice to so many people
in the world, and here in our country and in our
state and city who clearly needed it. Mike has led
the law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller, & Ciresi
in Minneapolis for a number of years now. Mike,
along with his partners, set up the Robins, Kaplan,
Miller, & Ciresi Foundation for Children and I’ve
been privileged to be a member of that foundation
board. Over the past 15 years, we’ve given a great
deal of money, especially for education reform for
all children and particularly for poor children.
Mike and Ann Ciresi have together embraced a
very wide range of important causes throughout
the Twin Cities area and beyond. Saint Thomas
Academy has really done a great thing in giving
him its highest honor, the Opus Sancti Thomae
Award.

Opus Sancti Thomae Award
The Opus Sancti Thomae Award was established in 1992 to honor friends and affiliates of
Saint Thomas Academy. This award recognizes both men and women who have made outstanding
contributions to business, civic, church, educational and professional communities. We honor their
respective characters and achievements with this medal, designed by the Reverend Thomas Kolar,
deceased faculty member. Its centerpiece is an encircled Jerusalem cross. Embedded sapphires grace
each bar of the cross and representations of the two Academy logos denote its place of origin.

Pacific during World War II, and after the war, a millwright foreman
in a meatpacking plant, while his mother worked in a dime store.
Bill attended St. Francis de Sales elementary school and
then St. Agnes, where he got the bug to become a teacher.
“Mr. Shuman was my U.S. history teacher and basketball
coach. I grew to love history because of him; he really knew his
subject. But I also was impressed by the way he treated kids with
such respect. It was never ‘I’m-the-teacher-and-you’re-not.’ I
always tried to emulate how he treated students throughout my
career.”
Culbertson’s good grades at St. Agnes earned him a
scholarship at St. Thomas College, where he studied secondary
education and majored in history with a minor in Spanish while
working weekends and summers for Applebaum’s grocery stores.
Right out of college he was hired at St. Bernard’s High
School in St. Paul, where he taught history and Spanish, helped
out with the football team and was an assistant basketball coach.
“I wasn’t a big athlete in high school, but I knew those
games. I learned about coaching on the job,” he said.
In contrast, he knew nothing about track as St. Agnes didn’t
offer the sport, but when the St. Bernard’s track coach asked him
to be his assistant, he figured, why not?
“I got a bunch of books about track and field at the library
and immersed myself in them,” he recalled. “The next thing I
knew, the track coach was fired and they asked me to take the
job. Again, I figured, why not?”

Meanwhile, he and Mary Jo married in August 1965, and the
following spring, she became pregnant. Soon the couple needed
a bigger apartment and Culbertson needed a teaching job that
paid more.
He left St. Bernard’s at the end of the 1968 school year.
By that August, he had no teaching job prospects and had
resigned himself to go back to Applebaum’s full-time. Then the
phone rang. It was Gerry Brown ’58, at that time the track coach
at Saint Thomas Academy, who knew Culbertson from track

“He told me there was a social studies opening at the
Academy and they also needed an assistant track coach, and
would I be interested,” Culbertson recalled. “I couldn’t believe it.”
In the interviews that followed, he recalls then-assistant
headmaster Bill Ridley asking if he knew anything about wrestling,
because they needed a new head wrestling coach. “I told him I
didn’t know a thing about wrestling,” Culbertson recounted with

What Culbertson did know was how to motivate kids and
how to manage the many facets of sports coaching, skills he put
to use in the Academy’s athletic programs over the decades.

He continued to teach, coach and moderate the Student

classrooms and fields, he also came to know every student in the
building.
“In these different roles, I was able to relate to students in a
variety of ways. As a teacher, I would always tell the boys I didn’t

Edward G. Hames ’36 Alumni Honors Award
Since 1969, the Saint Thomas Academy Alumni Association has honore d a leader in our community with the Alumni Honors
Award, which was later renamed the Hames Alumni Honors Award in 1971. The award is named for Edward G. Hames ’36.
During his days as a student at the Academy, Hames was Cadet Colonel, an Eagle Award Winner and a leader in school
activities. He was a teacher and also presided over the STA Alumni Association in 1967-68 and was serving on the STA Board of
Directors in 1970 at the time of his death.
The Hames Award seeks to give due recognition to those alumni who have exemplified the ideals of the Academy, and in doing
so have distinguished themselves in their communities. Such alumni enrich the lives of those about them through their personal
and family lives, their occupations or professions, their civic leadership or human welfare activities, their intellectual or cultural
pursuits or their efforts to advance the goals of the Academy.

Cadet Camp
receives kudos
We received this e-mail after
the August session of Cadet
Camp: “Our nine-year-old son
had such an amazing
experience at Saint Thomas
Academy’s Cadet Camp this
summer. There was a ‘change’
in him – he instantly became
more engaged, enthused,
confident, positive, helpful,
calm, smiley and resourceful
every day he completed camp.
Perhaps it is due to the caliber
and commitment of staff and
teachers, the facilities, the rich
and engaging content of what
he was learning and how he
was taught. It was as if my son
received an internal validation
in his busy, inquisitive,
information-seeking mind that
there is this wonderful place for
him to soak up the deep
knowledge he seeks in a
nurturing, structured, state-ofthe-art environment. We look
forward to participating in
Cadet Camp in years to come!”

A salute to fallen police officer
When Mendota Heights, MN, police officer Scott Patrick was killed in the line of duty on July
30, 2014, hundreds of STA students gave up an afternoon of summer vacation to line Mendota
Heights Road to pay their respects. On August 7, 2014, Headmaster Matthew Mohs ’90
received this e-mail from classmate John Matthews ’90.
“I attended Officer Scott’s funeral yesterday as part of a group of officers from
the Sioux Falls Police Department in South Dakota.
When I drove past THE Academy yesterday, my emotions ran very deep when
I saw a fine group of young Cadets paying their respects to Officer Patrick. I have
attended so many police funerals that often times I feel hardened and find it difficult
to feel the emotions that I used to. To say the least, when I came to that corner, I was
overwhelmed inside and out. It meant a lot to every one of the police officers that
drove past them.
One thought that passed through my mind yesterday, amongst others: During
a trying time, I was able to see what I was in the past and whom I’ve become today
just because a group of fine young men showed up to pay their respects and display
the pride STA is known for. By the odds from our graduating class, I am sure one of
those young men one day will wear the badge and gun, and carry on the values from
STA into a world that needs them. Not only did their support help the family of Officer
Patrick and the law enforcement community, but it helped me deeply as well.”
Officer John Matthews ’90
Sioux Falls Police Department
As the school year began, students and faculty wanted to finds ways to raise money
for the Officer Patrick Memorial Fund. T-shirts specifically designed for the fund
were sold at school and worn on an out-of-uniform day. Proceeds from the annual
Disco Mixer were also donated to the fund. These two efforts by the STA students
raised $15,000 for the Patrick family. A check was presented to the family at the
September 19 football game.

Diane Nead

Subjects Teaches MS Geometry,
Advanced Algebra I and Honors
Geometry, and is the moderator for the
Middle School Math Team.
First Teaching Job Teaching
assistant at Iowa State University
Hobby “Fixing up houses — my
husband and I have just finished our
first total redo of a foreclosure we
purchased three years ago (we work
slowly).”
Fact of Interest “As my students know from last year, I have a cool pet tarantula,
Leggs. She will be visiting my class again during Halloween time.”
A Favorite Teaching Moment “At St. Joe’s in Kenosha, WI, I taught 7th grade life
science. I had this exceedingly energetic student, Matt. I had planned a lab on planarian
regeneration, which involved slicing a small planarian in half with a scalpel. I put Matt in a
group with my three top female students to keep him under control. Of course, within five
minutes after lab instructions I heard one of the girls yell, ‘Mrs. Nead, Matt cut our planarian
into eight pieces!’ Sure enough, there were eight small brown specks in the petri dish. I did
not think they would survive but we stored them for the weekend with the rest.
Monday morning I could hear Matt approaching the flight of steps next to my room. He
was stomping down the steps and I could hear him say, ‘Get out of my way — I have to check
on my planaria!’ He ran through my door, pushed through a group of students, flung open the
closet door, and pulled his petri dish from the shelf. He took a moment to count and then very
proudly exclaimed, ‘Mrs. Nead, I have five planarian pieces still alive!’ Of course, by then the
girls came in and complained about how Matt broke the rules of running and pushing in the
hall but I was so pleased that he was so excited about his lab!”
In August, 35 students
participated in the Twin
Cities Muckfest to help raise
funds to support the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Favorite Experience “My senior year in college I had an instructor, Dr. Peters, who
spent his summers and holidays working for Boeing in St. Louis. He would joke that he made
his real money in the summer and just taught during the year for fun. He was always bringing
into calculus class what he was doing at work — which was mostly designing jets. Once he
tried to show us how to use surface integrals to calculate wind flow over a jet. We did not
understand but it was nice to see that math is really used in the real world.”
Why I teach at STA “I like to teach in an environment that values work ethic as much
as content knowledge, where students learn that serving God with the knowledge they
acquire is more important than serving themselves. And, I get to work down the hall from
Mr. Weber, who always has a smile!”

Advancing the mission of Saint Thomas Academy
By David Hottinger ’85
Director of Institutional Advancement
T
he Saint Thomas Academy community can once again be proud of the results
of the past fiscal year. More than 2,000 benefactors generously gave in
support of the mission of Saint Thomas Academy and our Cadets. Thank you!
Every day your gifts make a difference in the time-tested education model and
experience we are able to provide our students. You are investing in our young men.
All 625 of them! It is a sound investment and one that will have returns that cannot
be quantified. The return on investment is evident by the 129-year history of young
men who have graduated from the Academy. You are indeed paying it forward.
We strive to be good stewards of the generosity that’s directed to Saint
Thomas Academy. We are blessed by those in this report who have chosen to
assist in advancing the mission of Saint Thomas Academy. Good stewardship
means we continually look to keep expenses in check and contain costs wherever
possible. We do this without sacrificing the excellent quality of education and high
David Hottinger ’85
quality facilities that are provided to our students. We thank you and hope to once
again have your support this year and for years to come.
In this report you will notice a change to the names and dollar values of our
giving clubs. The foundation of our giving clubs is now the Academy Associates.
We welcome and recognize all gifts up to $999 in this club. The remaining levels
include Headmaster’s Council, John Ireland Society, Aquinas Round Table
and Standard Bearers. As we look to the future and building the Saint Thomas
Academy giving community, there will be Academy-related events for all of our
benefactors at any level. There will also be specific communication, invitations and
events for those in the Headmaster’s Council and above.
During my first seven months as Director of Institutional Advancement I have
been welcomed by so many within this community. Thanks for allowing me to visit
and share the great and inspiring things that are happening at Saint Thomas
Academy. Thanks also for listening about the needs of our school and items that
are in the works. Speaking of needs, we were able to fill one in August. Saint
Thomas Academy added Mike Barcelow ’64 to the team as Director of Major and
Planned Gifts. Mike brings a passion for the Academy, along with business and
entrepreneurial talents to our group. Please welcome Mike to the community
with the same friendliness you did with me.
We have an exciting year ahead of us. We have the leadership and vision
of Matt Mohs ’90, the first graduate of STA to lead the school. We have our
Saint Thomas Academy community that continues to strengthen, grow and
promote our great school. Most importantly we have our Cadets — the primary
reason to give and the direct beneficiaries of your gracious support. We will
strive to continually improve as an organization and prepare our young men
to go forth and make the world a better place.

Dear Readers:
With ever-evolving communication resources available today, we
have made the decision to publish three magazines a year instead
of four. We will still print all the Academy News, Alumni in the News
and Class Notes you have enjoyed in the past, but with a different
timetable — February, July and October.
