“We are
his special edition of the Marist Magazine
is much more than a Donor Report.
These pages are a reflection of our shared
commitment as a community to provide Catholic
education for high school students of today
and of the future. They demonstrate clearly the
results of what we have accomplished together
and offer us hope for what is possible.
Reflecting on this past fiscal year is a
humbling and inspiring exercise. Financial
results aside, what really stands out is the
progress we’ve made in promoting the Marist
mission and serving our students – how
we’ve continued to solidify the role and
contributions
of Marist Catholic High School
blessed. We Are One.”
in our community. All of this we have achieved
together, keeping alive the tradition of Catholic
high school education that’s been present in Eugene since St. Mary’s High School
nearly 100 years ago. Marist alone, est. 1968, has endured low enrollment,
recessions, operational deficits, and leadership transitions. By the grace of God,
here we stand – thriving and dreaming.
The power of teamwork is undeniable. Pope Francis, in his recent visit to
the U.S., called on national and world leaders to “work together for the common
good.” Here are a few examples of how the Marist community does this regularly:
• Students and staff participate annually in community service
projects that help our brothers and sisters in Latin America,
Southern California, Oregon, and right here in Eugene/Springfield.
• Families volunteer hundreds of hours helping on and around
campus, with and for students.
• Alumni, families and friends give generously to help make a Marist
education possible for over 37% of students who receive tuition
assistance.
• Donors from the school and greater community are participating in
Advancing Marist, a historic fundraising effort to update our aging
campus, build new facilities and help keep Marist accessible.
As evidenced in these pages, our collective efforts are working and we are so
grateful for the generous contributions of time, talent and treasure. Marist students
are benefitting from a faith-based education in a welcoming community that offers
unique opportunities to learn, lead and serve. Just imagine the possibilities of what
we can do for the students of today and in the future, and what they, in turn, will be
able to do for our community.
We are blessed. We Are One.

Marist Catholic High School is a Christ-centered,
welcoming community, committed to academic excellence
and preparing students to lead and serve others.
Mission
N
o one questions setting aside
time for the inservicing
of teachers to work on
the improvement of their craft. In
fact, the Oregon State Department
of Education provides a specific
Statewide Teacher Inservice date
each school year set aside just
for this purpose. But for Catholic
education, the subjects we teach and
the strategies we use to help students
learn are set within the context of a
larger mission. In short, we do the
school thing in a Catholic way.
This Catholic way characterizes
everything we do through a set of
core values that define us, that make
us most distinctive. We sometimes
express this through our school
Statement of Charism:
Enlivened by a family spirit
that makes us One
Centered by fidelity to faith
in Jesus Christ in all things
Connected by justice to the
world beyond our borders
Animated by zeal that teaches
the mind and touches the heart
Seized by God’s calling to a Mission
by, for, with and to young people
To do this well requires that we
take time to inservice ourselves not
only in our craft, but in our Catholic
mission. We cannot deliver what we
do not examine and assimilate.
4
One way we inservice ourselves
is through our annual staff retreat.
From the earliest years of Marist’s
history, the staff has spent time
together on retreat. For the past
almost twenty years, the Marist
staff has started the school year
by going on an overnight retreat
at St. Benedict Lodge. Just as we
encourage our students to do, we go
on retreat to renew ourselves and
to re-set ourselves in the defining
foundation of Catholic education. It
is this habit, among others, that helps
us sustain our spiritual focus and that
keeps us anchored to our Catholic roots.
Each year we use the staff retreat
to kick off a theme for our yearlong focus. Each theme nurtures our
individual spiritual lives, draws us
together as a united community of
Catholic educators, and fine-tunes
our approach to our work at Marist.
We always leave our time of retreat
with both internal and external
benefits, benefits which ultimately
enrich the experience of our students.
For example, in the 2010-2011
school year, our focus resulted in
a clearer understanding of who we
are, as expressed in the Statement of
Charism shared above.
This year we focused on the
upcoming Jubilee Year of Mercy,
declared by Pope Francis to open
on December 8, 2015. We examined
our practices and priorities through
the lens of the corporal and spiritual
works of mercy. We asked ourselves
what part we ought to play as a
school in the Church’s challenge to
be a people of mercy and how the
works of mercy direct our way of
doing things.
We learned what mercy is
and what mercy is not. We learned
that we are one ministry among
many in the Church, and that our
part delivers mercy most directly
through “instructing the ignorant”
and “counseling the doubtful.” We
learned that mercy requires keeping
the interest and growth of the student
foremost in our actions. We learned
that we all are beneficiaries of God’s
mercy, and that to be merciful toward
others is to follow God.
These learnings inspired the
beginning of our year, and as we
return to these themes periodically as
a staff, we hope to sustain our vision
in all we do. Our mission directs us
to be self-reflective and focused on
the Church’s call to service – our habit
of retreat is one of the principal ways
we remain true to this mission.
The 2-day retreat, at the beginning
of the year, serves as the foundation
for the many formation trainings
provided by Marist’s Campus Ministry
throughout the year, for faculty
and staff.

School Profile
F
or the first time in school
history, Marist implemented
a new president/principal
leadership model. Effective July 1,
2015, this model divided the business
and operations management of the
high school between two people:
newly appointed President Suzanne
Graf and Principal Stacey Baker.
President Graf is in charge
of overall leadership, including
business matters, advancement, and
community and board relations,
while Principal Baker is responsible
for the day-to-day operations. This
model was adopted by the Marist
School Board after several months
of research and discernment and
approved by Archbishop Sample
of the Archdiocese of Portland
in Oregon.
The Marist Board of Directors
has general oversight and responsibility
for the school. The Leadership Team
supports the president and principal
in the daily management of the
school’s operations.
For the 2014-15 school year, 557
students attended Marist Catholic
High School with more than one
third of our enrollment consisting
of graduates from O’Hara Catholic
School and St. Paul Parish School.
The remainder of our students came
from more than 30 different public
and private schools.
Faith
Marist is the only local high school
to offer a Christ-centered community
that cultivates respect, sincere care
for those in need, and service to
others. Last year, approximately 45%
of our students were Catholic. Four
years of Theology are required for
graduation, which includes a service
learning component. Our students
participated in regular school Masses
6
and a variety of team Masses prior
to competitions and extracurricular
activities. Each year, students have an
opportunity to participate in retreats,
the most intensive of which is the
Junior Encounter.
Leadership
Marist offered more than 50 extracurricular activities. The diversity
of the programs available included
multiple levels of athletic teams
competing in 5A and several clubs.
Service
In 2014, Marist ranked
4th best private school
in Oregon.
- Based on a study by consumer
research group Niche.com, as
reported in The Oregonian.
Academics
Marist offered 24 College Now and
11 Advanced Placement courses,
allowing students to earn college
credits for Marist course work. Last
year, a large number of our students
participated in these courses with
some achieving enough credits
to enter college as sophomores.
Approximately 75% of Marist
teachers held advanced degrees.
Marist’s average class size was 21
and the student to teacher ratio was
18:1. Marist underclassmen were
required to take a full class load
of seven classes per day with 175
student contact days.
The Class of 2015 had 133 students
with 98% of them going on to a
4- or 2-year institution; they were
accepted to 127 different colleges
and universities. Students had
consistently higher SAT scores
than the national average and
two of them were National Merit
Commended Scholars.
Marist seniors each completed 65
hours of Christian service as part
of their graduation requirement. In
preparation for this project, each
student served 15 hours to family,
community, and church as part of
the first two years of their Theology
coursework. Last year, our senior
class completed more than 9,400
hours of service.
In addition, parents completed
hundreds of hours of service,
contributing their time and expertise
serving on school and foundation
boards, helping with maintenance of
grounds, concession stands, sporting
events, front desk service, retreats,
student supervision, and fundraisers,
including the Marist Auction.
Collectively, this service represented
an in-kind contribution to the school
of several hundred thousand dollars.
A Marist education
inspires its students to
become moral, caring,
and competent leaders
who, with a sense of joy
and zeal, place their
gifts at the service of
the common good and
pursue a social order that
is attentive to the welfare
and rights of others.

T
he day at Marist begins
with prayer, the pledge of
allegiance and daily news.
A student’s voice comes over the PA
system, prefacing announcements
with a quirky factoid or an
inspirational bit of trivia. It’s student
body president Ryan Helbling, son of
alumnus Anie (Makyadath) '92 and
George Helbling.
When the Helblings decided to
send Ryan (class of 2016) to O’Hara
Catholic School for his elementary
and middle school years, they had
hoped he would continue on to
Marist because of all that Marist gave
Anie as a student and person.
“Ryan wants to be involved
with everything. I think it’s because
he truly loves Marist,” said Anie.
She’s right about his involvement
at Marist. Ryan is a singer and
musician in Proclaim – a full year
activity that provides music for
all Masses and prayer services
at Marist. Ryan participates in
the Christian Leadership Course
(CLC) – a theology and leadership
course designed to give students
the opportunity to learn basic skills
in leadership and peer facilitation
within a Christian context. Students
develop these skills through
activities, classroom lecture, assigned
reading, and directed service to the
school community. Ryan has been a
member of Marist for Life, a student
pro-life club, runs cross country and
track and field, and has served on the
student council all four years.
“As ASB (student council)
president, he models the school
motto, 'We Are One' in many ways –
from making it a goal to get to every
sporting event, play, and concert at
least once each season, to his regular
involvement in retreats,” said Beth
Wirth, Marist ASB moderator and
English teacher.
Being a part of the retreat
program at Marist, Ryan helps
classmates retreat from their normal
everyday world in order that they
might better reflect upon that world.
He helps students focus on identity
and self-image, relationships with
others, and their relationship with God.
Whether on campus or off, Ryan
exemplifies the values we aspire to at
Marist. In addition to his involvement
at Marist, Ryan is also an Eagle Scout
– trustworthy, loyal, helpful, kind,
obedient, reverent, and a confident
leader. “When he was brainstorming
about what he would do for his Eagle
Scout project, he kept returning to the
idea that he wanted to give back to
Marist,” remembered Anie.
What could one person
realistically do? Quite a lot, as it
turned out. Knowing the significance
of the Grotto on campus, Ryan
noticed how overgrown and unkempt
it had become. Located between the
Academic Resource Center and the
200 wing, the Grotto was designed to
be a quiet refuge for students, a place
for rest and contemplation. Over
the years, the plantings had become
overgrown and the space looked
neglected, shabby and uninviting.
Ryan literally started from
the ground up. He installed an
irrigation system and replaced the
tired shrubbery with new plants. He
painstakingly cleaned each paver in
the cross-shaped path leading to the
wooden statue of Mary and the Baby
Jesus (created for the Marist Grotto
by artist Howard Hevlin in 1990).
The Grotto was transformed.
Ryan truly does love Marist. The
school provides opportunities for Ryan
to authentically lead and serve the
community that inspires him, and in so
doing, he inspires those around him.
The Grotto begins to show its fall colors.

Bernie Conklin– a member of the first graduating class of 1969, father of Marist grads and now grandfather of a Marist freshman – greets Dr. Pat Merrick
outside of the reception for the dedication of the new Kevin Teller Field in October 2015.
F
or faculty, staff and parents
who have been in and around
the Marist community for a
long time, there are names that seem
to revolve through the doors.
Delve a little deeper, trace the
relationships, and some surnames
will also occur with regularity,
a thread of continuity that spans
generations. Names like Heidt,
Macke, Clemens, Teller, Kerns,
Schrieber, Moser and many more.
Recognized as “legacy families,”
these families represent 11.5% of
the Marist population. These are
families who, because of their firsthand experience of what this Marist
Catholic education offers, desire for
their family to experience the same.
Add the name Conklin to the list.
Bernie Conklin '69, was in the first
12
MARIS T M AGA ZIN E
Marist graduating class, sent three
daughters here and will be attending
the graduation of a granddaughter in
a few years.
Bernie’s parents believed in the
value of Catholic education. With
that, they established a legacy that
has transcended generations. Bernie
recalls they valued “the nurturing
and quality of the entire learning
experience – academic, physical and
spiritual.” Bernie received that kind
of education and he is delighted that
his granddaughter, Brianna '19, is
receiving it and is looking forward to
his other granddaughter, McKenzie,
graduating from Marist in 2027.
Bernie’s hope for his
granddaughters is a prayer suitable
for all Marist students: to continue
to grow in faith and academic
competency and become an
outstanding citizen in whatever they
aspire to do.
In 2014-2015, fifty-five legacy
families continued the tradition of
Catholic high school education, a
total of 66 students with 58 alumni
parents. That’s a legacy.
Connections are many in the Marist
community. Dr. Pat Merrick, in the
photo above, is not only a friend
of Bernie but also a past Marist
Foundation Board member, parent
of alumnus Jeff Merrick '94, friend
of the Teller family (having worked
with Dr. George Teller at the old
Eugene Hospital & Clinic - Family
Practice Department), and supporter
of Catholic education.
Alumni Giving
W
e Are One is evident by
our collective alumni
support. Reaching
across generations, alumni
from St. Mary's, St. Francis and
Marist continue to value Catholic
education and support the
mission of Marist.

MARIS T MAGAZ IN E
Gratitude
"All that we behold is
full of blessings."
T
his quote is part of a 1,244
word poem penned in 1798 by
William Wordsworth, inspired
by the beauty of nature.
Fast forward to today when the
quote appeared as a #grateful tweet,
a 50-character offering posted by
someone practicing the prayerful
habit of gratitude.
The quotation graces the lists
of our donors because the following
pages are more than a collection of
names: they represent the blessings
of a community that believes in
Catholic education.
We are grateful to so many
families, friends, alumni, and
businesses who have contributed to
the financial stability of Marist over
the past fiscal year through a variety
of campaigns and efforts, including
(but not limited to): Auction,
Annual Fund, Arts Angels, G.A.P.
(Gracious Assistance from Parents),
and Sports Sign Sponsorship.
Thank you for your generosity
and for helping us continue the legacy
of Catholic high school education in
Lane County.

I do not think
anyone besides
myself can
understand how
blessed I am to
have been given
the opportunity
to attend Marist.
My goal is to
give back as
much as I
can to a
community
that has
given me
so much.

Impact
Junior Monquel Glasow, 2015-2016 recipient of the John Hammer Scholarship, with John Hammer.
D
“‘
on’t walk on the grass, stay
on the cement, there are no
shortcuts in life’ is what
Coach Geske told me when he was
giving me a tour of the campus on
one of my first days here, and I’ll
never forget that,” smiles Monquel
Glasow '17.
After having moved around a
lot, Monquel most recently moved
from Las Vegas to join the Marist
community at the end of last fall.
“It hasn’t always been an easy
transition,” he admits. “These
students have had much different
lives than me, but at the last minute,
I was persuaded to attend the Marist
Sophomore Boys’ Retreat last year.”
Monquel recalls, “On the bus I
22
taught them this song that I learned
on TV when I was eight years old
called ‘At the Family Reunion,’ and
it changed them. I just saw these big
smiles on their faces. That retreat
gave me an opportunity to meet new
people and I realized what an impact
I can have on this school even though
my background is so different.”
He has been told that this will
be a continued ritual on the bus ride
to this retreat. Rick Martin, Director
of Campus Ministries at Marist said,
“Monquel demonstrated the power
of Marist retreats — to bring about
mutual impact. He was so moved
by the talks that upperclassmen
gave that he felt compelled to share
some of his story during our chapel
gathering, which encouraged others
to do likewise. By the end of the
sharing, one of Monquel’s classmates
observed ‘this must be what heaven
is like.’”
He is a positive, charismatic
young man and he has always viewed
football as his ticket to college
and success, but his time at Marist
has pushed him to work harder on
his academics and rise to his full
potential. “I have never spent so
much time on my homework, but it’s
a good thing,” Monquel confesses.
Monquel is living the advice
from Coach Geske. He isn’t taking
any shortcuts.

Fran & Dale Cooley Scholarship
The Fran & Dale Cooley Scholarship was established to honor their
decades of faithful service to both St. Francis and Marist Catholic High
Schools, the parish of St. Mary’s and the greater Catholic community in
Eugene. It is awarded annually to a deserving Catholic student at Marist.
Fran Cooley graduated with the St. Mary’s High School class of 1926.
The Cooley’s were the first couple married in St. Mary’s after its dedication
in 1928 and remained active, lifelong parishioners. Fran was the organist
there for 56 years and Dale served as choir director. Their 3 children, Janet '50,
Margery '54 and Ed '65 all graduated from St. Francis High School.
Fran was truly an ambassador for Marist as well as a living historian
of Catholic high schools in Eugene. She taught at St. Francis High and
worked in the office at Marist for many years. She is fondly remembered
by former students, from St. Francis and Marist, as the cheerful lady
outside the principal’s office and the talented pianist for the Glee Club.
Dale also served as a faculty member at St. Francis and Marist High
Schools where he supervised the Music and Art Programs. In fact, the
present Art facility at Marist bears his name. His tireless dedication to
Catholic education influenced hundreds of students who passed through the
doors of both St. Francis and Marist.
After the passing of Dale, the Marist community chose to honor Fran
and Dale for their service. During the 2005 Marist Auction, where Fran
presided as Honorary Chair, attendees willingly raised their bid cards to
establish the Fran & Dale Cooley Scholarship, a gesture that deeply moved
Fran, who passed away the following September.

"Thank you for investing your money, time and spirit into the lives

not only in grand education, but an even grander God." – William Loveall
Clarence & Eileen Brown Memorial Textbook Scholarship
The Clarence & Eileen Brown Memorial Textbook
Scholarship is awarded each year to a deserving Marist
student who demonstrates a spirit of reaching out and
helping others.
The Brown’s own spirit of service and outreach
was evident in their many volunteer activities. Clarence
was a real estate broker who shared his expertise with
his parish and other Catholic ministries. He was active
in the Knights of Columbus and was a catalyst for
establishing the Marist Foundation. Eileen volunteered
with Catholic Daughters, Altar Society, Sacred Heart
Hospital and many church committees.
Both of them were passionately dedicated to our
churches and schools and Catholic education was
important to them. Their 10 children graduated from
St. Mary’s, St. Francis, or Marist and many of their
grandchildren have attended local Catholic elementary
schools and have graduated from Marist.
After Clarence and Eileen passed away, their
daughter-in-law, Tig Brown, Pat’s wife, suggested that
the family honor them by establishing a scholarship
covering the cost of books for a Marist student each
year. The family wholeheartedly embraced the idea and
collectively provided the funding to endow the Clarence
& Eileen Brown Memorial Textbook Scholarship.
Endowed scholarships help make a Marist education possible for more than 68 students each year. Scholarships are
a wonderful opportunity to memorialize a loved one and/or to encourage students to excel in their studies and extra
curricular activities. If you are interested in establishing an endowed scholarship through the Marist Foundation,
please contact Rebecca Larson, Advancement Director, 541-284-7537, [email protected].

Lucy Duffy Memorial Scholarship
Established to honor her memory, the Lucy Duffy
Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to an
outstanding student.
Lucy Duffy was the grandmother of three Marist
alumni, Christine Duffy '04, Lauren Duffy '07 and Sara
Duffy '07. One of ten children, she was born in New
York City in 1916. Lucy raised eight children on her
own after her husband died in 1963. Lucy, along with
all nine of her siblings and all eight of her children,
graduated from Catholic high schools in the New York
area. Her children all received degrees from various
universities, with many getting advanced degrees.
Lucy Duffy believed in the value of hard work
and Catholic education. She maintained a full-time job
until two weeks prior to her death in 1998. Her strong
Catholic faith helped her endure the hardships of being a
young widow left to provide for eight children. She was
survived in death by her six sons and two daughters, 20
grandchildren and a great-granddaughter.
Since she was always generous to people in need,
her family decided to honor her memory by establishing
a scholarship at Marist in her name.

H
is father was raised by
Catholic clergy in Virginia.
His French-Canadian mother
attended an all-girls Catholic school
in Maine. His earliest elementary
years were spent in a Catholic school
in Beirut, Lebanon. “Marist was
probably inevitable for me,” said Ben
Salm '77 with a smile in his voice.
Ben entered Marist as a
sophomore in 1974 and remembers
how much the Marist Brothers and
coaches meant to him. “Coming from
a single-parent home meant there
was a lot of learning and mentoring
that had to take place elsewhere,
and so I think the Marist experience
became that much more important.
For me, that happened on the sports
field, along with other opportunities
to be involved. I remember being at
football practice and hearing the We
Are One motto. That phrase leads
into the whole ‘community’ and
‘fellowship’ aspects that I think are
at the core of my Marist experience,
then and now.”
As it is for every Marist student,
service was interwoven into school
life. Ben volunteered at the auction,
participated in retreats and helped
with the construction of the Marist
brothers’ home through his woodshop
class taught by Coach Rich Schwab.
Ben transitioned from being a
Spartan to a Duck, earning a degree
in Business from the University of
Oregon, before getting his Masters
in Applied Economics and Finance
at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT). Ben describes his
career path as “an organic and richly
rewarding journey.” He crafted his
computer skills, business acumen and
analytical abilities into a successful
career as an investment manager.
“Most of what happens in the world
affects financial markets, so you have
to pay attention to the wider view –
which keeps it interesting.”
While at MIT, he reconnected
with Brother James Halliday, a
Marist teacher during Ben’s high
school years. Their friendship
endured as Ben’s work led him
around the globe, prior to putting
down roots in Cambridge,
Not only is "We Are One" heard, but also seen. These words grace the football field and track where Ben practiced.

and women who are strong, smart,
grounded, and compassionate.
I really can’t think of anything
more important than to chip in
towards that.”
Ben is helping ensure that other
students will benefit from the Marist
community. He’s contributed to
the Advancing Marist campaign in
support of tuition assistance, the
science wing and athletic field
construction. And he’s looking even
further ahead: A thoughtful planned
gift to the Marist Foundation will
fund scholarships and help provide a
Marist experience for young people
who otherwise might not have the
chance to experience three important
aspects of life: community, leadership
and service.

Massachusetts – where he now lives.
It just so happens that Brother James
teaches at Central Catholic just down
the road 30 minutes.
“Ben’s a genuine person,”
commented Brother James. “I got
to know him on retreats, and he was
always dedicated to service.” Ben’s
sense of leadership and service led
him to be involved with the Marist
Brother’s summer camp in New
Hampshire for the past 15 years, while
he also serves separately as an advisor
to the Marist Brothers Province.
“Ben’s wholesomeness as a
student in high school has carried
over into his adult life and his
concern for people,” said Brother
Dan Grogan, another Marist brother
from Ben’s high school days who has
kept in touch over the years.
Ben realizes more and more,
as the years go by, how important
Marist is in his life – and his
relationships. “I’ve been fortunate
thanks in part to some rich life
experiences like Marist,” Ben
said. “The world’s become more
challenging and we need young men

A
dvancing Marist is the largest
community-wide effort in
the history of Marist. Since
the spring of 2013, members of our
school and greater community have
stepped forward in support of our
plans to address the short- and longterm needs of the school. As of June
30th, we reached 63% of our $8.6
million dollar goal, allowing us to:
• Break ground on a 21st century
Science Wing. The new wing will
include 4 science labs, teacher
prep space and ADA compliant
restrooms with expected completion
in the summer of 2016. The
existing science classrooms will
be remodeled to accommodate the
addition of a STEM classroom and
expand classroom space.
• Add $300,000 to the Marist High
School Foundation’s endowment
fund. This represents 25% of
our overall $1.2 million goal to
help keep Marist accessible by
providing more scholarships.

• Install a multi-use artificial surface
– the Kevin Teller Field – that
is lined for football, soccer and
lacrosse and has created a yearround outdoor classroom for P.E.
A memorial plaque at the entrance to the field tells the story of Kevin Teller '71 and his contributions
to Marist.
These achievements are major
milestones for a community that
has not undertaken a project of this
magnitude since the school was
built in 1968. Contributions have
come from: alumni; past, present
and future parents and grandparents;
staff; School and Foundation
Board members; businesses; and
foundations.
We are grateful for the generous
response and are excited about
the progress. We will continue our
campaign fundraising efforts in
support of future projects, including:
• Updating the old library to a
resource center and moving the
counselors' offices to this location
• Renovating the cafeteria
• Relocating the music room to
create an Arts Wing
• Moving the weight room
• Expanding the girls' and boys'
locker rooms
Thank you for your continued
prayers and support.
Kevin Teller family members, including his sister Suzette (Teller) Malkasian '66, sister-in-law Amy Tykeson, brother John Teller '74, sister Bernadette (Teller)
Warwick '77, and son Darek Teller at the reception before the dedication ceremony.
T
hanks to the vision and
dedication of a generous
group of people who care
deeply about Marist, our students
and the future of our school, a major
financial milestone in the Advancing
Marist campaign was reached. This
enabled us to begin and complete
construction of a new multi-use
artificial turf field this summer.
On October 16th, the Marist
community gathered for the historical
dedication and blessing of the new
Kevin Teller Field.
Kevin Teller '71 was a Marist
athlete and charismatic school leader.
As a young entrepreneur, Kevin
started his own landscaping business
while in high school. After serving in
the U.S. Navy, he turned his passion
for the environment into a career
and founded Teller Landscaping
Company. One of Kevin’s first
projects was the landscape design
and maintenance of the Marist
courtyard and sports fields. Kevin
took great pride in caring for the
Marist grounds and employing Marist
students in the work.
At the dedication ceremony,
before an over-capacity crowd, Rick
Gardner, Athletic and Facilities
Director at Marist said, “This multiuse field not only serves football,
soccer, lacrosse, and track and
field athletes, but also every Marist
student as an outdoor classroom.
The students who will play on this
field will learn about teamwork,
sportsmanship, discipline, and
leadership. They’ll develop stamina,
persistence, and confidence. Our
students will carry these lessons into
their lives, becoming the leaders of
tomorrow and living out a valuable
part of our mission.”
Suzanne Graf, president of
Marist, added, “This beautiful new
field is a dream come true – a dream
that has required vision, leadership,
collaboration, commitment, and
funding. Once again, the Marist
community has lived out our motto,
We Are One."
The turning point for making this
field possible was when John Teller
& Amy Tykeson made a gift in honor
of John’s brother, Kevin. Naming the
field after Kevin is a fitting tribute
to someone who not only played on,
planted and cared for the original
grass field, but whose character
exemplified the values we aspire to
at Marist.
“Kevin was an inspiration to
many people. Kevin loved Marist
High School. Kevin loved his work.
This beautiful sports field is a
wonderful honor to his memory,”
said John Teller, Kevin’s brother.
At a private reception before the
dedication ceremony, John and Amy
were presented with the first ball ever
used on the new field for a game. It
was signed by the Marist football
team.
The entire evening's events expressed
Marist's deep appreciation for John
and Amy's gift. Their generosity will
benefit many generations of students
and honor the memory of an alumnus
who is beloved by many.

2015 Commended Scholars
Showing Off School Spirit and Class Pride
The annual Homecoming Week gave
students the chance to show off their
school spirit and class pride as each class
spent hours preparing for the well-loved
Decade Day dance contest.
The hours of work and dedication
that went into preparation were evident
when the crowd was treated to four
choreographed dances that marked the end
of a week-long celebration of Homecoming.
It was a “senior sweep” as the Class
of 2016 finally won the dance competition and senior DJ Tomcal won the lip
sync contest with his Chicago Blackhawk
pump-up routine.
That
evening
seniors
Brendan
Gescher and Kennedy Sundberg were
crowned Homecoming King and Queen
respectively.
Principal Stacey Baker presents Jordan Haggas, Avery
May, and Emily Scherer with their certificates.
Seniors Avery May, Emily Scherer,
and Jordan Haggas have been recognized
as commended students by the National
Merit Scholarship Corporation for their
exceptional performance on the PSAT
taken in the spring of their junior year.
Principal Stacey Baker presented the students with certificates from the corporation in recognition for scoring in the top 3
percent of around 1.5 million entrants.
Sophomore Brooke Kline participates in her 60sthemed class dance during Homecoming Week.

start to take shape.

The Advancing Marist Campaign has
made for some exciting times for Marist students this fall.
On October 16th, Marist dedicated its
new multi-use turf field during a special ceremony at the begining of the annual Homecoming football game and already multiple
football and soccer games have been played
on the field.
John Teller '74 and Amy Tykeson, who
made a generous gift to the campaign, honored John's brother Kevin '71, who passed
away from cancer four years ago, with the
naming of the field because of his fondness
for Marist. Joining the family for the dedication were a host of Marist representatives
including the president and principal, student
council members, and representatives from
the multiple athletic teams that will use the
new field. Fr. John Kerns '77 and Fr. Vincent
Benoit ended the ceremony with a blessing
of the field.
On the other side of campus, the new science wing is starting to take shape. The roof
will be on in November and construction
should be complete by the summer of 2016.

Jessica is an attorney for Arnold
Law in Eugene. She and her
husband, Ryan Dwyer '96, are
co-chairing the 2016 Marist Auction
on May 14th, along with Garrett '96
and Jill Nehl.
Q: When you look back at your
time at Marist, what stands out
to you?
The sense of community that is
founded in the Catholic teaching
is what stands out to me the
most. We were all there for
each other and in it together. It
permeated my entire experience.
This community extends to the
history of my own family; my
mom, Tammy (Norris) May '75
and my dad, Clem May '67, both
graduated from Marist (and St.
Francis). It was never a question
for me if my sisters and I would
also attend Marist. I felt the sense
of community that is Marist well
before my time there, and it is
Jessica (May) Dwyer '05
answers 5 questions in 5 minutes.
something that continues to impact
my life and my husband's life —
I have no doubt that it is what
continues to bring people to the
school. The community of Marist is
what helps develop not only good
students, but good people.
Q: Your mom, Tammy May,
has been a staple in the Marist
office for 17 years. What was it
like having her around school
throughout your time at Marist?
It was fun being at school with my
mom — everyone loves Mom. I
always knew how special my mom
was, but seeing how she impacted
others around her, and me, was
really a blessing. The contact she
had with each student day-in and
day-out was so amazing, and it
only deepened my appreciation of
her gifts as a mom and person.
Q: What have you done in your
time since Marist? What have
been some highlights?
I attended Creighton University
in Omaha, Nebraska and stayed
there for law school. In 2013, I
moved to Portland and worked
as I was studying for the State
Bar Exam and looking for a job.
Then in 2014, Ryan and I got
married and I started working for
Arnold Law — these are two huge
highlights. I love my job at Arnold
Law, I get to practice a variety of
areas of law and I have learned
so much in my first year.
Q: What is it like having your
whole family connected to
Marist?
It’s pretty interesting having
parents and a husband who
are Marist alumni. But, our
experience also shows what is
so special about this community.
When we moved back, we
immediately felt reconnected
to the Marist community, which
made the transition much easier.
Ryan and I have friends whose
grandparents are friends with my
grandparents, and that’s a pretty
special thing.
Q: Why did you and Ryan want
to chair the auction?
We see how the school has
impacted our lives and the lives
of those around us, not just for
the four years of high school, but
through the years since then.
Being involved in the auction is
a way to show thanks for what
it was for us, but also to keep it
for future generations. We also
thought it would be a good way
to bring our generation into the
greater Marist community.
