Profile of the Graduate-At-Graduation
The Magazine for Fairfield College Preparatory School • Winter 2012 Prep Today Profile of the Graduate-At-Graduation In c lud ing t he Annu a l Re p ort 2010–2011 M ess a g e f ro m t he Pr es iden t The growing costs of maintaining a top grade institution, combined with the very significant need for financial aid by so many of our students, underscores the importance of our Annual Fund. I am most grateful for your charitable support of our mission … to become Men for Others. Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends of Fairfield Prep, T he “Grad at Grad” is a central concept that inspires our daily life at Prep. It refers to The Graduate at Graduation, and what we, as a Jesuit school, aim to create in our graduates. Cura personalis, “care for the whole person,” is a central goal of our Ignatian pedagogy. The characteristics of a Fairfield Prep graduate include being open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving and committed to doing justice. This “whole person” aspiration is cleverly illustrated on our magazine cover with a new poster, which is also hung in classrooms and offices at Prep. This project, directed by Academic Dean Dr. Donna Andrade, is meant to remind us daily of our multi-faceted goals as students, faculty and staff. Throughout this issue, you will read articulate reflections and speeches by both our teachers and students, revealing their daily work and actions to produce the ultimate “Grad at Grad.” You will also learn about Alumni who demonstrate their leadership with dedicated careers and community service projects. I think you will be quite edified in reading how they continue the important Jesuit traditions in their daily lives. I would like to invite you, therefore, to nominate an exemplary Prep Alumnus for our annual St. Ignatius of Loyola Alumni Award (read description below). The online nomination form for this award will be available on our website during the month of March, and the award recipient will be honored at the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit in September. You will also see highlights of our vibrant school community, busy with academic achievement, involvement in the arts and co-curricular activities, and strong performance by our dynamic Prep sports teams, who apply the inspiration of Men for Others to build brotherhood and reach for athletic triumph. Our Annual Report 2010-11 shows the reality of the size of our budget and the generous donations by our benefactors. The growing costs of maintaining a top grade institution, combined with the very significant need for financial aid by so many of our students, underscores the importance of our Annual Fund. Fairfield Prep strives to keep a Jesuit education financially attainable by our students. I am most grateful for your charitable support of our mission, which provides us the means to continue to educate our boys to become Men for Others. You are indeed investing in our future graduates, who will receive the important moral foundation to shape our ever-changing world. May you and your loved ones enjoy a peaceful and happy 2012, filled with God’s blessings! Rev. John J. Hanwell, S.J. President Nominate an Outstanding Alumnus for the St. Ignatius of Loyola Alumni Award F airfield Prep is pleased to open nominations for the 3rd annual St. Ignatius of Loyola Alumni Award.

Jesuit education is, has been, and always will be focused on whole person education: mind, spirit, and body. Jesuit schools accomplish this through cura personalis (personalized care and concern for the individual) and through a holistic curriculum. Thus, Jesuit education aims to graduate students who possess the desire and the personal resources to be “men and women for and with others.” The poster shown here is a visual representation of The Profile of the Graduateat-Graduation. This poster was designed by Dr. Donna Andrade, Academic Dean, who adapted it from a similar poster created by DeSmet Jesuit High School in St. Louis. Dr. Andrade collaborated with graphic design consultant, Margaret Galeano, of gr8pg.com (Great Page), and Colleen Adams, Director of Communications at Prep, to execute this project. This poster hangs in all Prep classrooms to remind students and teachers of Fairfield Prep’s mission. Special thanks to our models, pictured from left: Dean Duffy ’11, Tony Fox ’14 and Matt Connelly ’12. Thanks also to Ray Boudiette ’12, hockey model. Get Your Prep Pride On!

Prep Today 1 Becoming the Grad at Grad Taken from a speech given to the incoming Senior Class of 2012 at Senior Orientation Retreat, August 24, 2011 I was first exposed to the Graduate at Graduation when I was fourteen years old. It was my first day as a freshman at Boston College High School in Dorchester, Massachusetts. I remember a biology teacher at BC High, Mr. John Sullivan, talking about these concepts: open to growth; intellectually competent; religious; loving; and committed to doing justice. To be honest, they all were just words to me. I was starting a new school, I had soccer practice that day, and my fourteen-year-old mind was telling me that this was not very important. Fast forward four years later. At the BC High Senior Awards Night I received an award for — shocking as it may seem — Calculus. As the night drew to a close, I noticed an award was going to be given to a senior who “best exemplified the ideals of the Graduate at Graduation.” I began to think of the many guys who I had spent the last four years with who were deserving of this award. When I heard my name announced as the recipient of the award, I was shocked. At BC High I had been taught the ideals of the Grad at Grad, but never once had I gone out and done something because it was religious, or because it was loving, or because it made me intellectually competent. I just did what felt right. I began to realize that the education and experiences that the school had provided me, as well as the teachers and the friends I had made there, all influenced the decisions I had made in my life... When my guidance counselor encouraged me to develop a passion I had for writing and to meet students who were not normally math-focused, she gave me the opportunity to become open to growth. When my physics teacher made me solve so many problems that I didn’t care how far that stupid rocket flew, but I ended up scoring a 5 on the AP Exam, he gave me the opportunity to become intellectually competent. When my theology teacher challenged our class to write reflections on the weekly gospels to encourage us to think more critically 2 Prep Today and reflectively about our faith, he gave us the opportunity to become religious. When my friend called me because he had gotten into trouble and his parents had kicked him out of his house, he gave me the opportunity to become loving. When the campus minister encouraged me to tutor at the local Boston public middle schools, he gave me the opportunity to become committed to doing justice. As Prep students, you act out the five ideals through your community service and other requirements. But to truly call yourself a Prep grad you need to live out these ideals without thinking about them — to become a “Man for Others.” Take some time each day and say a quick hi to someone in the hall and have a conversation with them. Put in an extra fifteen minutes of study and feel more confident going into that quiz. Hold a door open for someone. Make the moral choice in a tough situation. If you start with small actions every day and take advantage of the opportunities that you have, you will turn into a person who best exemplifies a Prep Graduate at Graduation. I want to leave you with two challenges: Number One: Take a few minutes each night, whether it’s when you are driving home from school or before you go to bed, and think about the things you did during your day …these do not have to be heroic acts, but acts that were genuine actions … it is my hope that by taking the time to acknowledge these acts they will become part of your daily routine. Number Two: Give each other the opportunity to become open to growth, intellectually competent, religious, loving, or committed to doing justice. Have a conversation with an acquaintance or a friend, and allow him the opportunity to hear your story so he can appreciate the uniqueness we all have and become more open to growth. Invite some guys that are struggling into your study groups to give them an opportunity to become intellectually competent. Grab a friend and head to morning mass to give him an opportunity to become more religious. When you get knocked down, allow a friend the opportunity to love and pick you back up. Grab a few friends and do that community service event you’ve always wanted to do, and give each other the opportunity to become committed to doing justice. As Prep brothers, opportunity is a great gift we can give to one another. This senior year will bring about tremendous change in your life. As you journey through your final year on campus together as Prep brothers, think about the ideals of the Grad at Grad often. You know what they are, but the question is — how well will you live them? I wish you nothing but the best for your senior year, and I hope that you all continue to go forth and set the world on fire. By Tim Dee, Math Teacher, Soccer and Basketball Coach A great place to teach, learn, and stay forever I am amazed by the energy and the excellence of the boys I’ve taught here for 32 years. I really enjoy long-lost voices who take the time to email me about their lives. Most are married and have boys who are dreaming of coming to Prep. The Jesuits have a simple description for this cycle of spirit, dedication and achievement. It is called Cura Personalis, meaning we care about the whole person. There are many things in our formation that go beyond the extraordinary academics we offer. We reach into the soul. We challenge them to go beyond the safe and the obvious with community work and world-wide involvement. We launch them on an intellectual, moral and compassionate adventure as Prep graduates. Sure, it’s a tall order, but I am hardly exaggerating the results I see. I couldn’t name the thousands of boys whom I have taught; each remains special for me. But I want to mention a few with no less affection for the others. I still think of Damian Long ’94 as the best student I ever taught. Damian was busy writing novels and plays during his sophomore year. I let him take over the teaching of Moby Dick, because he seemed to know that complex allegorical novel better than I did. Such students are a rare gift that enrich the classroom. All three Long brothers were bitten by the theater bug. Another outstanding boy I had in my creative writing class was crazy about the idea of becoming a writer. Jeff Davis ’93 was one of the most self-directed kids I ever met. I couldn’t keep up reading all that he wrote — blood splashed stories specializing in gory murder cases. What a fiendish imagination! But it served him well as he became the creator, producer and chief writer for “Criminal Minds,” the smash TV hit which features a group of criminologists hunting down serial killers. When he emailed me to thank me years later I was as proud as his father. My most cherished note came from a young man who wasn’t an academic star, but in many ways he represented the kind of boy who is the heart and soul of Prep. Pete Patton ’90 was a disciplined and serious student who wanted to make the best of his Prep education. I watched as he took a rough talent and through hard work and dedication improved enormously. This is a small excerpt of Peter’s email. “The Ignatian vision and the Prep way didn’t hit me until I left and entered college. Again, I never led the league in GPA, but it was the lessons imparted underneath that stone cross that gave me the belief that I could compete.” Pete is a writer and research specialist working for the New York Police Department. The last boy I will mention is featured on this edition’s cover. Dean Duffy ’11 is on the left morphing from athlete to chemistry student to a blue-jean-clad social activist on a mission trip. I was impressed with his energy on the sports field, his dedication to studies and his participation in the greater life of the school. Guys like Dean Duffy come to us already formed from great families, churches and communities but it is their openness to continued growth that makes them so easy to teach and so much a part of the Jesuit vision. I liked Dean immediately but grew to admire him as I watched his strength and courage dealing with his mother’s illness and death last year. I saw the other boys rally around him, too. What a great place to teach! What a great place to be a student! It’s not a cliché to say that we are all Prepsters for life. The many faces and voices of Prep are one. If I knew high school could be this good, I might have stayed in it forever; come to think of it, I have… By Barry Wallace, English teacher Prep Today 3 L-r: Coach Bob Ford, Jr., Raphael Kinney ’14, James Mulliken ’14, Patrick Corona ’12, Scott Ball ’13, Michael Whelan ’12, (Saint Ignatius), Alec Hilton ’14, Brendan Terry ’12, Christian Alvarado ’14, Connor Rog ’12, James Murphy ’14, Billy Schloth ’12, and Coach Bob Ford, Sr. Cross Country Jesuits Become… True State Champions! By Patrick Corona ’12 and Michael Whelan ’12 T Individual Awards he 2010 season was a good one for Prep Cross Country, but with only a fourth place finish in Connecticut, it was not what it could have been. When the two of us (Patrick Corona, and Michael Whelan) first found out that we would be captains alongside seniors Billy Schloth and Connor Rog, we promised ourselves that Prep would be first in the state this time around. It was hard not to be optimistic. In the preseason coaches’ poll, the Jesuits were ranked above everyone else. Unfortunately, this also put a target on our backs from day one. With a state championship as our goal, the bar was set high and the competition knew it. Connor Rog led the pack, but to win, we needed all of our top five runners to race their best. Connor Rog Christian Alvarado Undefeated in all Connecticut XC meets, Wilton Invitational Champion, Prep’s #2 runner, All Quinnipiac Wickham Invitational Champion, 1st Place Thetford Woods Trail Run, Division SCC, All-SCC, 5th Class LL, SCC Champion (2nd year), Class LL Champion (3rd year), State Open 1st 14th State Open, 17th Connecticut place (new course record), 2nd Place New England Championship (top finisher in New England Connecticut runner), 1st place Jesuit HS Championships, 10th place Championship (49th overall), 4th Foot Locker Northeast Regional Championships, Flotrack & Dyestat in Jesuit HS Championship, 1st nationally ranked, 2010 Gatorade Connecticut Cross Country Runner of place in Sophomore race at Foot the Year, 2011 Sports-Person of the Year from Fairfield for the Fairfield Locker Northeast Championships, Country Sports Association, Gatorade Player of the Year 2011 & 2012, New Haven Register All-Star team, 10th place in Northeast Regional Footlocker Championship, 18th in the CT-Post All-Star team.

Only a couple guys in that top five didn’t do well, and we placed third. This was a blow to our confidence, and was closely followed by an even worse dilemma. Billy Schloth, one of our fellow captains, developed a knee injury that sidelined him for the rest of the season. Billy was All-SCC as a junior and his absence hurt the team greatly. Without him, the pack behind Connor suddenly became weaker. We needed someone to fill Billy’s shoes, and sophomore Christian Alvarado did just that. In the summer, Coaches Bob Ford, Jr. and Bob Ford, Sr., had hoped that Christian would be varsity after a successful freshman year. But nobody could have expected the tremendous leaps and bounds he made, not even the coaches. Christian emerged as one of the top three runners on the team and kept improving as the season progressed, finishing all-state. But even with Chris in Billy’s place, we still needed that critical fifth man in order to round out the team. Scott Ball (pictured left) claimed that spot and proved to be the difference maker for us. His times improved as much as 30 seconds, which gave us a lower team score, and resulted in a state title. Seniors Patrick Corona and Michael Whelan also had great championship seasons, posting many personal best times, and continuing their rivalry for key places in the front pack. Finally, Connor Rog led our team the entire season, wire to wire, going undefeated in Connecticut finishing in first by a landslide at the State Open. He had an unbelievable season which ended with a trip to San Diego for the Footlocker National Championships where he placed 18th in the nation. FPXC finished 1st in the state in convincing fashion with a 41 point win over rival Xavier. All of the success that we experienced was the result of unceasing team effort and inspiring coaching. Each and every varsity runner was crucial, whether it was Connor Rog finishing 1st in the state, or Scott Ball rounding out the team score as the 5th man. In an undisputable fashion, our team persevered through adversity, and proved to everyone that we were true State Champions.

Prep Today 5 O p e n H o us e : O c to b e r 2 , 2 0 1 1 Admissions Excitement Hundreds of prospective students and their families attended the Open House held on October 2 to learn about Fairfield Prep’s many offerings. Here are some reactions from prospective students and parents. Excerpts from the Applicants: I O went onto YouTube to check out some of the highlight videos from the sports teams, and it’s very impressive. n my shadow day three weeks ago, I noticed that the teachers don’t baby the students; they push them to the best that they can be. I really enjoyed the learning environment at Prep. It seemed challenging and there was total class participation. I also noticed on my shadow day, that there were students from all different backgrounds and everyone got along with each other which I really enjoyed. Many teachers began their classes with a prayer, which I think is a great idea. The combination of education and spiritual growth will prepare me for challenges in the years to come. I look forward to wearing my Jesuit Cap with honor beginning next fall. I watched your video and I asked many of your students about Fairfield Prep and they told me your education and curriculum is very challenging. From my previous experiences, elementary school and middle school were a breeze. I am looking for a challenge so I can find out where my natural talents are. O ut of the many things that I heard and saw at the Open House, one thing kept reappearing. Everyone was talking about the bonds that people build at the Prep, and when I heard about this I was very excited. Visiting the school during my Shadow Day only reinforced this idea. Friendship is a very important thing for me and I could see it radiating out of this school. Excerpts from the Parents: I n addition to the strong academic and sports programs, we are particularly impressed by Fairfield Prep’s four-year community service program. We believe that this will help to develop our son into a compassionate young man. While our local public high school does have a program of community service, it does not match the depth and breadth of the Fairfield Prep offering. W e toured the campus and spoke to a number of faculty members. Our experience began with a lasting impression made by the students. They were all well mannered and informed about the specific subject or activity that they volunteered to present. They also appeared to have a genuine enthusiasm for their school. The faculty members that we spoke to were knowledgeable and seemed to have a strong connection with the students. I believe this successful partnership between students and faculty creates a rich environment for students to succeed academically. G od comes first and it is hard to raise a God-fearing young man in today’s world, especially during the high school years. The fact that Fairfield Prep has a strong curriculum and also strengthens the relationship students have with God is just remarkable. Another part of your mission statement that stood out to us was where it speaks about challenging its students to live as men of conscience, compassion and action. Climbing the corporate ladder means nothing if you have to step on everyone’s toes in order to be successful. We want our son to be successful in life and be a good, positive contributor to society and we know Fairfield Prep will work hand and hand with us in preparing our son for college and life. M en for Others — I was first introduced to this Jesuit concept at [my Jesuit high school] and it has played an instrumental role in my life ever since. In both my personal and professional life this mindset has been my moral compass; a gift from the Jesuits at [my Jesuit high school] and [my Jesuit college] who provided me with the tools to make the right choices in life. Simply stated, I want my son to be exposed to the same quality education and life teachings as I received as a young man. The positive impact the Jesuits have had on my life has been and continues to be invaluable. 6 Prep Today An Olympic-Sized Welcome for Freshmen F or the past two years, the Office of Student Activities has sponsored the Freshman Olympics at Freshman Orientation days. Activities include: Tug of War; Home Run Derby; Basketball Foul Shooting; and Dodge Ball. This experience has afforded Fairfield Prep’s newest students an opportunity to bond with each other and experience the Prep community. Freshmen also meet their homeroom teacher, get their class schedule and their locker. The Campus Ministry Office also sees this as an opportunity for the upperclassmen who will lead both Freshman Rally Day (in October) and the Freshman Retreat (in March) to get to know the freshman class. Six years ago, Rally Day began as an effort to introduce retreat leaders to the freshmen in small groups. This day includes prayer, conversation and games including Capture the Flag on Grauert Field. All of these activities help our freshmen get acclimated to Prep and get them acquainted with the upperclassmen who will be there to help them along the way like big brothers. These events have been extremely well received and we intend to continue them into the future. By Elliott Gualtiere, Director of Campus Ministry Father Michael G. Boughton, S.J. Appointed Assistant for Formation F Responding to the Call of Christ. Everyone has a great calling. Let us help you discern yours. The Society of Jesus in the United States www.Jesuit.org www.JesuitVocation.org ather Michael G. Boughton, S.J., was appointed on November 16, 2011 as Assistant for Formation for the Maryland, New England and New York Jesuit Provinces. Fr. Boughton will assume the role this summer. He has served as director of campus ministry at the College of the Holy Cross, president of Fairfield Prep (1996-2006), rector of the Fairfield Jesuit Community and director of the Center for Ignatian Spirituality at Boston College. Fr. Boughton also served as a delegate to General Congregation Thirty-Five. Father Boughton, S.J., brings not only a wealth of administrative and pastoral experience but a deep appreciation and understanding of Ignatian spirituality and the directions for Jesuit life and ministry encouraged by the most recent general congregation. Prep Today 7 Ch a n g i n g th e w o r l d a n d o u r s e l v e s B elow you will find reflections written by two of our students who have recently attended one of our newest trips and one of our oldest trips. The Ignatian Family Teach-In is a conference open to Jesuit high schools and universities throughout the world that Prep has participated in for many years. This conference, which moved from Columbus, GA to Washington, D.C. in 2010, focuses on social justice issues nationwide and worldwide. Our trip to Jamaica, which ran for the third time in July, 2011, is another opportunity that we offer our students each year. Students who attend this trip stay on the outskirts of Montego Bay, Jamaica with the Mustard Seed Communities and help out in the local orphanages. Mustard Seed Communities began in 1978 and have grown throughout Jamaica. Please contact me if you would like to learn more about Prep’s Christian Service opportunities. Jonathan DeRosa, Director of Student Activities & Christian Service Ignatian Teach-In Washington, D.C I . 2011 would like to start off by explaining that the Teach-In is an annual Jesuit conference promoting social justice. This year’s Teach-In theme, from Jesuit Fr. Peter Kolvenbach, S.J.’s, 2000 Santa Clara address, was “Gritty Reality.” He said, “Students, in the course of their formation, must let the gritty reality of this world into their lives so they can learn to feel it, think about it critically, respond to its suffering and engage it constructively.” What does gritty reality mean? It is the low depths in society where we would not normally go. Where injustice is present and the poor are oppressed. It is a place where people do not have the same benefits we do. We may not even be aware that it can be found right around the corner. Through my days at the Teach-In I learned to go through those three steps — of feeling it, thinking about it, and engaging in it. To feel the presence of the gritty reality — not to ignore it. To think about it and to contemplate how you can help. And lastly to engage in it constructively — and make a difference in those places. To step out of your comfort zone to help others and bring justice for the greater good. Even the slightest help can bring change. I challenge you to go into your local communities and see if there is any “grit” in the area. Try to feel it, think about it, and engage in it. Our Prep community provides us with many opportunities to go out into the gritty realities of the world and make a difference. Some students have really accomplished this through service and mission trips such as Urban Plunge, Appalachia, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Jamaica. But for those who have yet to experience any of these, I urge you to go and to see for yourself. I myself take up this challenge in my local community of Bridgeport and make a step towards wiping out the grit of the community. One conference speaker said, “Direct experience will be able to change a person’s mind.” This is true. Without literally going out into these places you will never know the gritty reality of today’s society. Taken from reflection by Huythanh Tran ’12 8 Prep Today Jamaica Mustard Seed Community 2011 F airfield Prep’s service trip to the Mustard Seed Community at Blessed Assurance in Montego Bay, Jamaica is one that I will definitely never forget. Writing this reflection on the plane ride home, I feel like a changed person. Having been to Jamaica once before, I was aware of the extreme poverty and the rough conditions. Now I have a better understanding of what it means to live in those conditions and am very proud to say that I experienced Jamaica in a way that no vacation can deliver. A typical day at Blessed Assurance begins around 6:30 am with 20 minutes to shower and get dressed. The group then heads down to breakfast where a prayer is said before we consume the delicious food cooked by the chefs of the Mustard Seed Community. Around 8:15 am we head to the gazebo where the disabled children are waiting. Devotions soon begin with an announcement by one of the caregivers and then we begin to sing, dance, and clap to praise the Lord. Worship ends with a Bible reading, a prayer, and thanks for another day. Work varies at Blessed Assurance depending on the need. My group was assigned to paint and landscape. Each day groups of six would alternate assignments. We were asked to landscape the trenches. We cleared an immense amount of weeds so the draining system could handle the common short and hard rainstorms that occur. We also painted many of the buildings at Blessed Assurance to upgrade their appearance. Around 12:15 pm we gather again in the gazebo for more devotions. From there we eat lunch, help feed the children and rest before the next work shift. At 2 pm we put in another two hours and then clean up our sites. Being very hot and tired, we head to our cabin to rest, shower and change. Most of our clothes are donated to the project, so we leave with a lot less than we arrived with. Around 6 pm we pray and eat dinner which is very good. Typically there is rice, beef, chicken and plantains. The cooks do a good job. The rest of the night is usually spent with the children playing games, reading to them, taking them on walks, feeding them and helping the nurses with whatever they need. This time can also be spent relaxing, napping, throwing the Frisbee around, or just “kickin’ it” as the Jamaicans say. As it starts to get dark, we settle down and reflect on the day. Reflections usually last from 30 to 45 minutes and each student is given a chance to talk about the day or share his feelings with the group. We sing songs and pray during this time as well. By 10 pm lights are out and everyone is usually sound asleep. The boys sleep in a room full of bunk beds where the sleeping conditions are decent. One of our days was spent at Widow’s Mite, another Mustard Seed community, approximately a two-hour drive away. The last day was spent at a beautiful beach where we swam and played games the whole day. A good amount of time is spent driving around and it is very interesting to see the Jamaican countryside. Overall, our time in Jamaica was very rewarding and filled with laughter. Taken from reflection by Chris Felner ’13 Blessed Are Tuesday, July 19, 2011 White, healthy hands, That feed, That clap, That hold and care for, That pull fierce weeds, And paint boards and eaves, Reaching for water in thirst, Held upward, outstretched, Heavenward. Black hands, gnarled, Clutched and pressed like Thick vines against little chests Waving, grasping Covered in drool and cornmeal, But just as much, Held upward, outstretched Even touching heaven And earth — God’s delight.

In particular thanks to Tom Dolan ’81, P’12 for his leadership. Tony Fox ’14 Shares an Attitude of Gratitude Taken from a speech by Tony Fox ’14, a S.E.E.D. financial aid recipient, given at the President’s Dinner which is held annually to honor Prep benefactors who contribute $2,500 or more annually. M y name is Tony Fox and I am currently a sophomore at Fairfield Prep. I am from Bridgeport, Connecticut and I am currently a member of the MSG Varsity club, stock market club, the Varsity football team, S.E.E.D., and Student Government officer for the sophomore class. Ultimately, my goal is to study biochemistry at Georgia Tech after I graduate Prep. Let me start by telling you why I chose to attend Fairfield Prep. One thing that every freshman does at Prep is participate in the Freshmen Field Day. During this day, we host a younger child from one of the inner city Catholic grammar schools in Bridgeport. We take part in games, take pictures and have lunch with the child we host. Well, I was one of those students who came to Prep when I was in the 3rd grade at St. Augustine’s School in 2006. This was my first experience with Prep. I remember pulling into Prep, thinking that I was entering a castle. Everyone was smiling and seemed so welcoming and happy at Prep. Even though I was too young to realize it then, I had experienced what I would come to know as the Prep Brotherhood. I saw people of all colors and races together happily working as one. Once you are a member of the Prep family, your Prep brothers have your back. Knowing that the person sitting next to me, behind me, or in front of me is looking out for me, is a great feeling to have. Ever since I experienced Freshman Field Day as a 3rd grader, my mind was focused on going to Prep. Once I was accepted to Fairfield Prep, I made sure that I took advantage of the many opportunities that arise for the students. Prep offers a wide range of clubs, teams, and social and diversity aspects. In addition to this, Prep offers a few other things that I cherish: a great education, moral values, and everyday skills that I will need toward my next step in life. One of the major programs at Prep that I am a part of is S.E.E.D. which stands for “Students for Educational Excellence through Diversity.” Diversity is not only defined by one’s race, but also by religious, geographical and socio-economic diversity. Therefore, it is because of you that I am here at Prep. One in four freshmen at Prep… would not be here if it were not for the generosity of all of you. My mom is a single mother with limited income, who would never be able to send me to this school by herself. I thank you on our behalf. Finally, let me tell you about the ways in which Fairfield Prep has challenged and encouraged me to grow. One of the things that Prep teaches its students is the Jesuit mission and motto, “Being a man for others.” …Being a man for others starts by becoming a leader; another value that Prep teaches. Fairfield Prep allows and wants each young man to go through his high school career being a leader in the classroom, on the field, and in his own communities. Being a man for others challenges each of us to not give into peer pressure; this concept challenges us to be leaders, not followers. Fairfield Prep has also challenged me to excel both in and outside of the classroom. The Prep staff and coaches… challenge and push us to reach our full potential on and off the field. Portia Fox with her son Tony Fox ’14 and Fr. Jack Hanwell, S.J. Nothing is handed to you at Prep without working hard and overcoming obstacles, doing the magis, doing the more in your life. On the football field or in any sport, our coaches look to see who will be that person to step up and do something or make something happen. The Prep faculty is willing to do what it takes to help me be successful. I am not ashamed to say that math challenges me … staying afterschool or coming into school early for extra help, has helped me to stay on top of my studies. Lastly, and most importantly, my spiritual life has greatly developed. Having a theology class everyday helps me to be more aware of God and how blessed I am in life, how blessed I am to be at Prep. I did nothing to deserve this life that I have, just as a child in Pakistan did nothing to deserve life in fear from war. Therefore, I am blessed and Prep helps all of its students to realize this. We are the future; those leaders that Fairfield Prep produces. We will and want to be those men making the right decisions for ourselves, for others, and for our communities. Every student comes into Fairfield Prep as a boy. Then Prep molds and shapes its students in the traditions of the Jesuit mission, and teaches us to develop a social conscience, to live morally and ethically, and to be a man for others. It Takes a Community of Brotherhood For these gifts and for many other things, I give thanks. First, to my mother, who also inspires me and who is behind me one hundred percent, my love and thanks for your support in encouraging me… I thank you because you have realized that as a single mother, even with all you have given me, that you simply cannot provide all that I need to grow into the best young man I can be. You understand that it takes a community of brotherhood — something that you cannot give me. A lot of single mothers don’t get that! But you do! I love you for that! Second, I give thanks to all of you. I am fortunate to stand before you today, a product of your generosity. Through all of you, I have been indirectly placed into the spirit of “Paying It Forward.” I, too, hope to sit where you are sitting one day and reflect on my own past while listening to a well-groomed, soul-shaped and inspired young man for others, like myself. Lastly, I thank you, Father Hanwell, for affording me the opportunity to express the impact that Prep has made on my life. Prep Today 13 A Thrilling End to a Dramatic Crew Season P rep Crew began the 2011 Fall season with high hopes and great energy. Crews across the spectrum from Varsity to Novice medaled and signaled that the 2012 spring will be one filled with success. The Tail of the Fish regatta in Saratoga Springs, NY, was a great success as the V8 placed 3rd overall and first among schools. The JV8 was second and first among schools. Two novice 8’s placed 3rd and 4th beating out perennial powerhouse Chaminade in the Novice 8 event. At the Head of the Housatonic the Novice 8 had fine showings finishing 7th and 12th out of 21 crews. V8 held their position from last year’s race finishing 10th out of 37 other crews. The JV8 A, B and C boats all raced with vigor letting all the other crews know that they were a force to be reckoned with. A freak October snowstorm was not enough to stop Prep Crew from attempting to get to the Head of the Fish in Saratoga Springs, NY. A handful of hearty men and their dedicated parents managed to navigate the storm and reach the regatta. In a true display of leadership, members such as Captain Dan Boyle ’12, Michael Osborne ’12, Joe Grosso ’13, Nick Martucci ’13 and a slew of Novice rowers borrowed boats and raced for their missing teammates in a show of fidelity and pride. The team traveled to Philadelphia for a weekend of racing November 12-13. First timers at the Philly Frostbite regatta proved to be a charm for the V8 as they finished 1st and took Prep’s first-ever medals at the event. The next day saw even more success as the team raced in the late season favorite Bill Braxton Memorial Regatta. The V8 made the semi-finals. Coming back from a rough row the day before, the JV8 blew away the field with a commanding win and set the bar high for the rest of the team. The 2nd and 3rd JV boats had a fine showing placing 3rd and 5th respectively. Novice boats raced extremely well with the 1st 8 finishing 3rd and the 2nd 8 destroying the competition in their race finishing 1st nearly 10 seconds ahead of the 2nd place boat. A fantastic end to a dramatic season left the team hungry to get back on the racecourse in the spring. The team will hold open tryouts in March and will look to set a course for the future. Go Prep! Football Shows Grit and Growth T he 2011 Prep football team made great improvements in the recent season posting a 5-5 record. After a tough start on the road, at the alwaystough Hand of Madison Tigers, Prep took a two hour trip and rallied to beat Griswold in the rain 20-14. Prep then won the four of five at home, featuring a thrilling 39-32 come-from-behind victory over Amity. Prep could not catch lightning in a bottle when they hit the road again, but excitedly rallied from a 20-0 deficit, only to lose a close one to Shelton 20-13. Thanksgiving was a thriller for a crowd of nearly 3,000 fans who saw Prep lose a heartbreaker to arch-rival West Haven, 42-39. What a difference an on-side kick makes! Senior quarterback Tom Brewster led the team with nearly 800 passing yards and 650 yards rushing. He threw for 7 TDs, but perhaps the most important completion was on 3-25 to Senior Charlie Keady for a first down with a minute to go on the winning drive against Griswold for 14 Prep Today our first victory. Tom himself broke six tackles on a scintillating TD run of 65 yards in the same game. Junior Dillon Ryan stepped in at running back, after an injury to junior Joe McBride and rushed for nearly 700 yards in just 5 games. Senior Mike Niche made a huge contribution on Thanksgiving when he caught two 77 yard TD passes from Brewster on successive series. The offensive line, led by seniors: Co-Captain Serge Jean-Baptiste, Connor Cunningham, Joe Herlihy and Pat Sheeran enabled Prep to rush for over 200 yards per game. Senior Conor Barr kept Prep’s special teams dangerous, highlighted by an electric 60 yard punt return against Amity. Co-Captains Shane Dempsey, Justin Haley and Michael Seelye and senior Colin Morris led the defense. Senior Mike Trotta led the team in tackles and, along with Sophomore Nick Crowle, each returned interceptions for touchdowns. At the annual awards ceremony, Tom Brewster was presented with the Mark Massiello award for the best offensive player and Mike Trotta earned the Fr. Eugene Brissette, S.J., award for the best defensive player. Shane Dempsey earned the Chris Boyle Memorial Coaches Award for his perseverance, loyalty and determination and Joe Herlihy was recognized as the team’s most improved player. Post season honors went to Xavier Frey ’12, who played tight end, H-back, defensive tackle and end and punter. He made the All-SCC team as the punter joining Serge Jean-Baptiste who made AllSCC as an offensive lineman and also made the Coaches All-State team in Class LL. After great improvement and five hard-earned victories, the offseason weightlifting is in full swing and next year’s team is already preparing hard for the future. 2011 Team Makes Soccer History P rep’s 2011 Varsity Soccer Team made history this past fall, becoming the first Prep soccer team to finish the regular season undefeated and finished with a 14-1-7 record. En route to capturing their second Quinnipiac Division title in as many years under Coach Ryan Lyddy ’93, the Jesuits also were crowned as the Southern Connecticut Conference Champions and advanced to the Quarterfinals in the State Tournament before falling to eventual state champion Pomperaug 1-0. Prep battled through the regular season with a 9-0-7. The Jesuits, lead by Co-Captains Will Steiner ’13 and Mike Matera ’12 started off the year with a strong 1-0 victory over Cheshire with a goal from Kieran Bracken ’13. Playing most of the season without Co-Captain Davie Bruton ’13, the Jesuits gained strong victories over Notre Dame WH, Xavier, Shelton, and North Haven lead by the midfield presence of Matera and Robbie MacKay ’12 and the electrifying play of forwards Steve Tortora ’14, Austin Sims ’14, and Jack Grella ’12. In the SCC Tournament, Prep drew the second seed, went on to defeat Shelton 2-0 and Guilford 3-0, earning them a date with the Green Knights of Notre Dame WH in the finals. Late in the second half, Bruton nailed a left footer off the inside post to win the game for the Jesuits 1-0. Prep drew the ninth seed in the state tournament and defeated Crosby 2-0 in the first round before traveling to defeat Newtown in a penalty kick shootout after a scoreless regulation period. Grella stepped into goal after Steiner was injured during the second overtime period and stopped 3 penalty kicks in what was one of the greatest moments in recent Prep soccer history. Prep’s defensive effort was what kept them going all season. Steiner anchored a group led by Pat Connolly ’13, Tim Frassetto ’13, Darragh Kelly ’14, Joe Cullina ’12 and Tim Hagan ’12 that allowed only six goals in twenty one games. As a result of their strong effort and success on the field during the season, Matera, Sims, and Steiner were named to the All-SCC Team and Connecticut Post All-Star Team. Sims and Steiner were also named to the New Haven Register All-Star Team. Connolly and Ryan Orvis ’13 were awarded with Coach’s Awards for the season, Grella was named the team’s most improved player, and along with being named the team’s MVP, Steiner was also selected to the Connecticut All-State team, following in the footsteps of his brother, Brendan Steiner ’06.

Prep gathers for Thanksgiving Assembly O n November 22, Prep celebrated its annual Thanksgiving Prayer Assembly. This year’s theme was “Weathering the Storm, in Thanksgiving for God’s Embrace.” It was a chance to reflect on all of God’s blessings and to recognize that we need God’s grace to get through the storms in our lives. Fr. Holland, S.J. (FP Faculty Chaplain) set a wonderful context at the beginning of the service. A number of students shared their prayers of thanksgiving, and Mrs. Jane O’Reilly gave a very moving reflection. Fr. Hanwell, S.J., recognized seven faculty/ staff members for their many years of service. Congratulations to Fr. Gallarelli, S.J., Rich Magdon, Harvey Mamrus, Tom Sacerdote and Suzanne Tucci for serving 25 years. Congratulations to John Szablewicz for teaching 40 years, and to Bruce Jaffe for teaching 45 years!

In addition to the nearly 60 members of the class in attendance, the class of ’86 raised $148,275 in gift commitments over the next five years to support the Rev. Laurence D. Ryan, S.J., Scholarship for student financial aid and the Annual Fund. Prep is most grateful for the efforts of the 25th Reunion Committee (see page 27) and for all who participated in strengthening the already tight bond of this class! Mr. Bryan P.

Walsh ’47 Annual Report 2010–2011 | Fairfield College Preparatory School 33 Rich Magdon’s Plaque Joins the Coaches’ Corner By Greg Canuel ’05, TheDailyFairfield.com T hough he stepped down as head football coach at Prep three years ago, Rich Magdon is still a presence at the school, as a housemaster and director of facilities. This season, the school decided to make sure Magdon never leaves the Jesuits’ football program. Prep inducted Magdon into the Coaches’ Corner. A plaque with his name adorns a rock in a corner of Alumni Field, joining those celebrating three of Prep’s other coaching legends: Joseph Brosley, Earl Lavery and Fr. Eugene Brissette, S.J. “To just be considered in the same breath as those three individuals right there is extremely humbling and rewarding,” Magdon said. Magdon started his coaching career at Fairfield Prep in 1970 as an assistant under Lavery. He took over the head coaching job in 1993 and racked up a 96-69-2 record before retiring in 2008. During his 15-year tenure he led the Jesuits to three Southern Connecticut Conference division titles and two state semifinal appearances. Prep revealed the plaque in a ceremony during halftime of a rain-delayed home opener against Wilbur Cross. The Jesuits’ fans showed their appreciation long before that, however, erupting in chants of “Win for Richie” during the first half. “Rich was a great teacher of the game,” said school president Fr. Jack Hanwell, S.J., quoting former player Greg Zielinski ’01. “His knowledge of football and skills in managing the football team, coaching staff and parents were very impressive. More importantly, however, Rich Magdon taught us about life. He had a plethora of quotations, anecdotes and wisdom.” Prep Swimmers Score First Maura F. Marden Dream of Life Award Shown from left: Dimitri Alatakis ’12, Nick Wargo ’14, Rick Hutchinson ’87 (Prep Asst.

M embers of Prep’s Swim Team have participated in the annual SWIM Across the Sound for the last five years, raising over $133,000 to benefit the St. Vincent’s Medical Center Foundation. This past August the Prep swimmers raised over $31,000 for the SWIM Foundation. There were three relay 34 Prep Today teams, finishing 2nd, 3rd and 6th. The Prep Fathers’ Club provided the boats for the boys. The highlight of the day was the honor that the Prep swimmers received in memory of Maura Marden, the first annual Dream of Life Award — given to a team that best exemplifies her spirit and life principles. The award was created in memory of Maura Marden, an inspirational cancer survivor, who died last year at 53. She was an active parent at Prep and a participant in the SWIM Across the Sound event. Her three sons Dave Platow ’05, Danny Platow ’07 and Bart Platow ’09 were Prep swimmers, and all attended University of the Pacific in California as Division I athletes. The Maura F. Marden Memorial Scholarship has been established in Maura’s memory. Donations to this scholarship may be made to the Prep Development office. 35 swimmers over 5 years The Prep teams were organized by Joe Benz ’08 in 2007. In the past five years they gained 12 corporate sponsors, plus support by a Fathers’ Club event and escort boat recruitment. They have entered 12 teams overall, with over 35 different swimmers participating. Past Coordinators have been Joe Benz ’08 and Dave Mullany ’12. Past Captains have been: Justin Alves ’10, Joe Benz ’08, Matthew Connolly ’12, Matthew Knapik ’11, Brian Power ’09, Kristof Toth ’10, Mike Noone ’11 and Paul Sikora ’11. St. Vincent’s SWIM Across the Sound is a charitable, grass roots organization run by St. Vincent’s Medical Center Foundation. We Will Never Forget… S eptember 11th, 2001 started out as a typical day. The sky was clear and the temperature was quite moderate. At 8:46 am, just six minutes into first period at Fairfield Prep, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. First reports, though sketchy, suggested that a small plane had hit the structure in a terrible accident. But at 9:03, United Airlines flight 175 cut into the second tower. It was clear that a terrorist attack was under way. There followed a report of an explosion at the Pentagon at 9:37 as a third jet, American Airlines flight 77, careened into the side of the structure. By the time first period ended at 9:40 most at Prep were aware of the assault on our country. A fourth plane, United Airlines flight 93 crashed into a rural section of Shanksville, Pennsylvania at 10:03. As the extent of the tragedy became clear, many members of the Prep community made frantic calls to check on loved ones who were working in the area that became known as “Ground Zero.” The Prep administrative offices were deluged with requests from anxious parents who wished to take their sons home early. Throughout the day the terrorist attacks became the topic of discussion in class. Rumors of greater attacks yet to come were whispered. Yet, despite the fears, the entire Prep community drew together, as it has always done in times of suffering and need. In the aftermath a special assembly was held in Alumni Hall. Various members of the Prep community spoke about how the tragedy touched their lives. Mr. John Brennan, Dean of Students, brought the entire congregation to tears as he discussed the toll that 9/11 had on the N.Y.C. firefighters. Mr. Brennan related that a sizeable number of firefighters and their families live in the Rockaway Beach area, and he had come to know them very well in his summer job as chief lifeguard at the beach. Fairfield Prep alumni who perished in the World Trade Center (l-r): Michael G. Jacobs ’64, Gary Lasko ’69 and Seth Morris ’83. It seemed as though practically every member of the Prep community knew someone who perished in the Trade Towers. Among those lost on 9/11 were three Prep alums. One was Michael G. Jacobs ’64. Michael worked on the 90th floor of Tower Two for Fiduciary Trust. Also perishing in the towers were Gary Lasko ’69 and Seth Morris ’83. Our community mourned their loss and extended sincere condolences to their families. Senior faculty members who had the privilege of teaching these men fondly remembered them with personal anecdotes. Back at Prep, the chaplaincy team and the guidance department did an incredible job of facilitating the healing process at the school. Priests and counselors were made available for students who needed to discuss their anxieties. Serious attempts were made to repair Greg Zielinski ’01 (center) the psychological wounds suffered by so many. Yet, while the wounds might heal, the scars would remain forever. While the situations were quite different, for the students at Prep the event would evoke a similar feeling of those of an older generation who still can vividly recall exactly where they were when they learned of the assassination of President John Kennedy on November 22, 1963. All of us at Prep and throughout America realize that our lives would be forever changed as a result of the terrorist attacks on our country. Terms such as “pre” and “post” 9/11 became part of our vocabulary. The United States launched what have become decade-long wars in Iraq and in Afghanistan in order to capture and/or kill terrorists and to preempt future threats to American interests. At home the U.S.A. Patriot Act was passed and the Department of Homeland Security was created. All of this spurred vigorous debates within the Political Awareness Society as to the necessity and legality of such actions. In the days and weeks following the tragedy alterations were made in Prep procedures and policies. For one thing, all academic and extracurricular travel trips were canceled for the next few years. Administrators and faculty met in special sessions to plan emergency policies in case of a future crisis on campus, and building security was greatly upgraded. Four years subsequent to the 9/11 emergency Time Magazine featured an article on graduates of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. These were the young men and women who entered the Academy in September of 2001. The article was entitled The Class of 9/11. Featured in the article was Fairfield Prep grad Greg Zielinski ’01. At Prep Greg was an outstanding student-athlete. After graduating from West Point Greg went on to serve tours of duty in the conflicts in the Middle East, as did a number of other Prep alums. Yes, it is difficult to believe that ten years have passed since the terrorist attacks on our country. So much has changed during that decade. Yet, one thing is certain — we will never forget that terrible day. By John Szablewicz, Social Studies teacher.

Prep Today 37 Pediatrician’s House Calls Are 1,500 Miles Away By Dr. Denise S. Walsh PhD, RN, P’98 “D r. Jerry, look how big my son is!” Pediatrician Jerry Hemenway, MD ’61, has heard these words hundreds of times during his years of private practice in Fairfield. On that day, Dr. Jerry’s young patient and his proud mother were not from Southport but from the inner city of Kingston, Jamaica. For the past 12 years, Dr. Hemenway has traveled to Kingston, an area known for drug and gang violence, to care for hundreds of children living in these dangerous surroundings. Twice a year, the communities in Kingston wait for Dr. Jerry and his team from PRN Relief International to arrive, delivering medical care, drugs and supplies to a population unable to afford these services. PRN Relief International: Physicians, Residents and Nurses As Needed was founded in 2005 by Hemenway, Denise Walsh PhD, RN (parent of Ian Walsh ’98), Steve Rosenman MD, and Eileen Callahan BSN, RN, with the mission of delivering medical care while simultaneously building a trusting relationship with communities. In Jamaica the growing PRN team—currently made up of over 50 volunteers—includes not only local physicians from Connecticut, New York and Arizona, but also students from Yale School of Medicine, Sacred Heart University, and Molloy College. These professionals and students follow the St. Ignatius call to action, firmly believing in the importance of men and women for service. Volunteers are physicians and nurses from all specialties who use a week of their vacation time to work alongside Hemenway, Walsh, Rosenman and Callahan. Although the trip itself lasts one week, the preparation proves to be year-round. Dr. Hemenway contacts pharmaceutical companies and colleagues to give medications or donations to cover the cost of each trip. Twice a year, he receives and organizes enough medication to fill up to 30 suitcases. Each trip to Jamaica brings a new challenge. Dr. Hemenway has examined children under trees, in community centers, E ntreprene u r ’ s C orner A Home Run with Young Players H itting the books and making the right decisions at Prep are more important than hitting the baseball and selecting the right pitches at the plate.

Excelling in the classroom and on the field, Mike is one of few Prep alumni to make it to the big stage. Mike is giving back to the community with his ownership of “The Clubhouse,” a baseball training facility in Fairfield, CT.

It is a common occurrence for a chicken to walk across an exam table or for an entire elementary school to send their students to Dr. Hemenway for an afternoon full of examinations. The days are long and the weather is hot, but Dr. Hemenway takes his time with every patient and mother, tending to both the physical and emotional needs of every family. On several occasions, it was Dr. Hemenway who diagnosed life-threatening cardiac irregularities in his young patients. One afternoon while Dr. Hemenway stabilized an infant, Eileen Callahan paid for a taxi to drive the mother and baby directly to the nearest hospital. During another mission, multiple children from an orphanage required surgeries and Dr. Hemenway Continued on page 48 > of younger baseball players into mature men. Realizing the value of a strong education transcends onto the diamond, he knows that colleges are looking for smart baseball players who are disciplined and have good grades. Mike uses his knowledge and experience in the big leagues to help younger kids play to their highest level of ability. Mike played 15 years of professional baseball. He played in three major league seasons with the Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies. “You are very capable, and just because you have a bad day does not mean you are worthless,” he says to young players. He knows that realizing the achievements of others is a quality of successful people. “Stay away from the negative people and stay focused on your hopes and dreams, and chip away at it,” says Mike. He wants to help build confidence in younger baseball players and he knows that the best effort combined with the best education makes any goal achievable. Injuries brought his career to an end, but he continues to use the values and lessons he learned from Prep in helping young men succeed.

I n 1988 — believe it or not — I was first in my class in all subjects. I knew my address, phone number, and how to spell Manhattan. Coloring in the lines was something I could handle, and I was fully in control of my bladder. I was riding high at the top of my class in Mrs. Starks’ Kindergarten. It was first grade that was my fall from grace. “You’re holding the pencil wrong,” said Sister Ana in disgust. Apparently, Satan used his left hand too! At the time, I was so disheartened by her reaction I took her advice and have been writing with my right hand ever since. Seemingly from that moment forward school was difficult for me. I trudged on. In the third grade, my lifelong struggle with reading began, and it began as a secret. It was embarrassing and frustrating to know that all of my peers were able to complete assignments I couldn’t. At eight years old, it was glaringly obvious to me that there was something wrong. However, I kept my head down and refused to acknowledge my shortcoming. By the time I reached middle school my aspirations to please teachers seemed futile. I distinctly remember the incredulous look upon my sixth-grade science teacher’s face when I told her, “I did not know I was supposed to save all of my previous assignments for future study.” This was the first of many indications of my lack of organizational ability and attention issues. Thank goodness I was one of twenty-five and could be overlooked most of the time. Was school supposed to feel as if you were treading water for seven hours a day? I worked tirelessly into the night to complete homework assignments. My parents couldn’t understand. My teachers couldn’t understand. Above all, I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t succeeding when I knew I was as intelligent as my fellow classmates. After a successful stint in summer school, I was accepted to Fairfield Prep as a freshman. It had always been a dream of mine to play hockey for their team, but I had to keep my grades up in order to play. Only one month into the fall, and I could no longer tread the water. I was drowning in long-term projects, daily assignments, and could no longer conceal my deficiencies. It was suggested that I be tested for learning disabilities. As it turned out, my math teacher noticed I repeatedly transposed the digits on math problems mixing up their order. If I were asked what six times six was, I’d answer sixty-three. After ten years of school, it was the first time anyone had noticed a dyslexic tendency. I was diagnosed with severe Attention Deficit Disorder with Dyslexic and Dyscalculia tendencies. While I agree that I was excitable, I felt the “severe” part of the diagnosis was a bit severe. Anyway, prescriptions were written, hands were shaken, and stigmas ensued. School remained difficult for me, but I was able to focus. My reading efficiency increased dramatically, and Continued on page 48 > Prep Today 39 Porco ’81 Dedicates Foundation to His Son By Peter Brawley ’70, friend and colleague O n February 16, 2011, Jordan Porco, the 18-year-old son of Ernie Porco (Class of 1981), took his own life in his dormitory room at St. Michael’s College where he was a freshman. In the midst of their grief, Ernie and his wife, Marisa and daughter, Taylor have established the Jordan Matthew Porco Memorial Foundation with the aim to help prevent suicide among college-age students by increasing awareness, identifying resources, and publicizing warning signs. Of Jordan, Ernie says, “He was a happy-go-lucky young man, loved by everyone, never displaying a sign of depression. If this could happen to Jordan, it can happen to anyone’s child or grandchild, or friend. Our son acted impulsively and took his life for reasons we do not know. We searched for answers. We are still searching. There was nothing that put this puzzle together. Jordan was with his friends the night before. He went to his classes on that Wednesday morning, and was looking forward to skiing with our family and a friend on Friday.” As their world collapsed, Marisa and Ernie researched the statistics on suicides that take place on college campuses. Two things overwhelmed them. First, was the prevalence of collegestudent suicide. Second, was how most universities do not talk about suicide before or even after it happens. These statistics are rarely shared with students or parents during orientation or the college preparatory process. • Suicide is the second-most common cause of death among college students (first is auto accidents). • 1 in 10 college students has made a suicide plan. • 1.5 out of every 100 has actually attempted suicide. • 66% of college students feel overwhelmed by all the responsibilities of college life. Ernie explained, “People ask our family how we get the energy to move on? Our answer is: 1) We believe, if we had known the facts that we know now, maybe Jordan would be alive today; and 2) By bringing these staggering statistics to the surface for parents, students and faculty, as well as creating awareness of the available resources, we can prevent this from happening to another student, another family. The most important way to get involved is to TALK, to tell the truth, to learn and to recite the horrific statistics. Suicide doesn’t just happen to the person who committed the act. It happens to his/ her family, friends, teachers, and community. We need your help to reach the NINE who can help the ONE – over and over again.” The Foundation is organizing a Gala on March 10, 2012 at Connecticut’s Science Center in Hartford to promote awareness of teen suicide.

Dr. Panda ’88, Prep English teacher, publishes book about Hemingway D r. Ken Panda ’88 has been involved with the Hemingway Letters Project since its formation in 2003. As associate editor of volume one, he worked on articulating the editorial theory and structure of the entire series. A substantial amount of research and content based on his 2002 doctoral dissertation, Ernest Hemingway, Letters: 1908-1925 was also integrated into the first volume. He also contributed theory and content to two successful six-figure grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 2005 and 2006. Ernest Hemingway, Letters 1907-1922 is the first of 15 volumes to be published by the Letters Project over the next 20 years.

The Latin Scholars Serve Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam I t all began when a group of Prep grads got together for lunch one day in December of 1976. They were John Ford ’46, Emil Garofalo ’45, Frank Kennelly ’45, John Connelly ’45 and Stanton Kennedy ’45. The guest of honor was Fr. Thomas Murphy, S.J. Fr. Murphy had been everyone’s Latin teacher from 1942 to 1946. At his tallest, he stood about 5’6" – OK, maybe 5’6½". Ergo, he maintained order the old fashioned way — lots of homework and plenty of JUG. It wasn’t long before the students nicknamed him “Little Caesar,” a moniker he smilingly carried to his grave. That 1976 lunch was a couple of hours of reminiscence and laughter about those first years of Fairfield Prep, and it was decided that it should be an annual event. The following year, Mickey McBride, Dick Shea, Bob Walsh and Ed Dailey (all ’46) joined the fun. As time went by, the group began to refer to themselves as “Fr. Murphy’s Latin Scholars” (there has been a rumor afloat that one could only claim the title if he had flunked Latin at least once… this vicious gossip has been denied vociferously by the intelligentsia of the original gathering!). As the beloved priest advanced in age, the group wanted to honor his many years of service to the Prep and its students. A huge boulder was located on the Prep campus. It was cleaned, polished, inscribed and — with much fanfare — placed on a knoll overlooking the school. The inscription reads “In loving gratitude from all who derived comfort, joy and inspiration from his piety and his music.” It is dated August 28, 1984. The boulder was subsequently moved, and now sits at the entrance to the Prep, where it greets the young men as they arrive each morning. The group’s next modest plan was to place a plaque on the door of the music room bearing the name “Rev. Thomas A. Murphy, S.J.” What a shock it was to learn that a $10,000 donation to the school would be required! Where to amass such a sum… why not open the December luncheon to all Prep grads, and charge a small fee? The official “Latin Scholars” was born. John Connelly assumed the presidency, and the first Latin Scholars luncheon took place in 1981. Attendance and receipts that first year were modest, but in succeeding years the growth has been impressive. Approximately $100,000 has been raised, and all proceeds have been donated to Prep-related charities. Emil Garofalo succeeded John Connelly as president, followed by John Ford. John was followed by Paul Connelly and, since Paul’s death, Emil Garofalo has again assumed leadership. The 2011 gathering was attended by 140 Prep grads and raised $6,600. The money was dispersed as follows: Fairfield Prep Music Maintenance Fund............................... $900 Rev. Thomas A. Murphy, S.J., Scholarship Fund................ $1,100 Rev. James H. Barry, S.J., Scholarship Fund....................... $1,100 Msgr. Joseph Potter (Class of ’46) Brazilian Mission........ $1,750 Rev. Edward McCall (Class of ’47) Brazilian Mission........ $1,750 The occasion began as a simple get together of old friends, and the low-key theme continues. There are no paid employees, no red tape, no perks, no graft, no fraud. A bank account exists to cover postage, etc. and the balance never exceeds $100. Just the way Fr. Murphy would like it!

Charitable Giving: Leave A Legacy For Prep F or millions of Americans, “charity begins at home.” That’s where they’ve decided to make a difference by donating money to local religious, educational, social or cultural organizations. In addition to the immense satisfaction that comes from giving to others, when done as part of an overall estate plan, charitable giving can provide tax benefits for the donor and his or her estate. Charitable Gifts of Life Insurance Gifts of life insurance have some unique advantages: • Life insurance is a contract and passes outside the will by beneficiary designation, so it generally cannot be contested in probate proceedings. • Since the payment of a life insurance policy death benefit to a named beneficiary is not part of the probate process, it is private, not a matter of public record like assets passing by will. • Donor is eligible for an income tax charitable deduction when he/she transfers an existing life insurance policy to charity. • Ability to leverage a charitable donation through the death benefit. • There are no probate delays. • Other assets are kept intact for the donor’s family. Gifts of life insurance can be made in essentially two ways. Under the first, the insured is the owner of the policy and the charity is the BENEFICIARY. This arrangement is used when an insured/donor desires to retain control over the insurance policy. Under this arrangement, the premiums paid are not eligible for an income tax charitable deduction. Additionally, since the insured owns the policy at death, the death benefit will be includable in his or her gross estate, but it will be 100% deductible from the estate, since it is payable to a charity. Under the second, the charity is OWNER AND BENEFICIARY. Unlike the situation where the insured retains ownership, the premium may be income tax-deductible within IRS guidelines. State “insurable interest” laws must be checked to determine if a charity can be the initial applicant of life insurance on the life of a donor. If the donor gives an existing policy to charity, the lesser of the fair market value of the policy (generally, its cash surrender value plus any unearned premium) or the policyholder’s basis (normally the premiums paid) is eligible for an income tax charitable deduction. Additionally, future gifts of cash to the charity for premium payment purposes are also eligible for an income tax charitable deduction within IRS guidelines.

Prep Today 45 Close Ties Never Fade Away By Donald Eng ’90, Editor of the Trumbull Times, holding his yearbook W hen you work as a local news editor, being cold and damp is part of the job. For whatever reason, news hardly ever happens on 78-degree afternoons in May. On this particular day, I was covering a flag-raising ceremony on a blustery January morning. The temperature was in the high 20s and it wasn’t quite raining, but it also wasn’t quite not, if you know what I mean. Normally, an assignment like this is a drive-by. Leave the car running, snap a couple photos and run. But that day I stayed. And stayed. For 40 minutes I stood with the president of the local historical society and two state legislators on a traffic island, next to a flagpole as cars whipped by. Why on earth would we do such a thing? Fairfield Prep. All four of us were graduates, though our years at the school never overlapped. We had made the connection as the ceremony was ending, and the guests were heading for their cars. Someone said good-bye to the historical society president, and had added “Tell your son good luck in his game tomorrow.” I asked what sport his son played, and he answered, “He’s on the Fairfield Prep hockey team.” Just that quickly, the relationship between the four of us changed. No longer reporter and news sources, we were now four alumni talking about the school we still loved. It didn’t matter that we had graduated between 20 and 40 years ago. It didn’t matter what the weather was. What mattered was Fairfield Prep. Stories like that are familiar to most of my fellow alumni, and probably to a good amount of current students, too. There is something about this place that is special. About 10 years ago, I was running a small business, and we used a delivery service. One of the drivers was an older man, who had retired from his career and taken a job as a courier three days a week to stay active. For two years we exchanged hellos, and that was about it. Then came the day we learned we both were Prep grads. My alumni magazine had arrived in the mail, and for two days I hadn’t had time to read it. Finally I took it to work with me, and was flipping through the pages when a parts delivery arrived. He looked at my magazine, and asked if I was a graduate. When I said I was, he held out his hand and said simply, “Class of ’55.” Incredibly, I actually learned he was a fellow alum before I learned his name. As more years pass (21 since I graduated) I have come to realize that, for me at least, these chance meetings are what makes the school special and are, for me, the most cherished part of being a Fairfield Prep graduate. Sure, there are the topnotch academics, but people don’t stand in the cold to talk about SAT scores. As a final thought, I am reminded of my work on the Hearthstone yearbook my junior year. The staff could not decide on a theme, being split between “Close Ties” and “Not Fade Away.” We finally voted to combine the two, and the theme became “Close Ties Never Fade Away.” At the time I hated the compromise theme, but now I think it captured the spirit of the school perfectly. Quite the opposite of fading away, the ties that I and my fellow graduates feel for our alma mater grows as we come to realize that we were then, and continue to be, part of something special. Bob “Coach” Maffei dies R obert “Coach” Maffei died on Tuesday, October 18, 2011. Coach was an assistant football coach at Fairfield Prep for more than 15 years, under Varsity Coach Earl Lavery. He worked at Fairfield University as a Traffic Enforcement Officer with the Department of Public Safety. His son Bob Maffei Jr. also coached at Prep, and is currently the Head Football Coach at Trumbull High.

At the conclusion of their performance, they were invited to perform for the National Security Council a few days later at Blair House. Max and his fellow Phantoms had the distinct honor of performing and personally meeting President Barack Obama. 46 Prep Today T he late Robert J. Brennan Jr. was unanimously named 2011’s Fairfielder of the Year. Brennan, former chair of Fairfield’s Zoning Board of Appeals, died on Oct. 19 at the age of 68. “He was a giant among men in this community,” said Selectman James Walsh, who co-nominated Brennan for the award. “My only regret is that we could not give this award to him himself.” Brennan’s daughter, Katie O’Leary, accepted the award. Brennan’s wife Alyson was there along with some of Brennan’s six children, four grandchildren and friends. Brennan was involved with many local groups, including the Fairfield University Alumni Association Board of Directors, Fairfield University Board of Trustees, and Fairfield Prep Advancement Council. He was the uncle of the late Ryan Brennan, class of 2011.

Dormevil came to Lehigh for the education. “I wasn’t recruited by anybody,” the 5-foot-6, 170-pound Dormevil said. “I started playing football in my sophomore year of high school [Fairfield Prep in Connecticut], and back then I was about 5-4, 140 and played receiver. Not too many guys built like me are playing receiver. I wasn’t expecting too many colleges to come looking at me. “I always wanted to be an engineer and Lehigh has a great program. I knew they also had a great football program. I only played three years of football and I didn’t want to give it up.” So Dormevil, now a junior, introduced himself to the staff and told them of his interest. They gave him a tryout and the rest is history. “It’s difficult to work your way up from the bottom,” Dormevil said. “But it has been worth it. The last two years have really been great. I’ve really appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity and I am looking forward to continue it over these next two years.” Source: The Morning Call Prep Today 47 Jack Roche, former teacher, dies at 82 J ohn (Jack) Roche, beloved former Prep teacher, passed away with his family by his side October 14, 2011. He was a loving father, committed teacher, supportive mentor, and cherished friend to many. He graduated from St. Patrick’s School in Bridgeport in 1943 and Central High School in 1947, and was a member of the inaugural graduating class of Fairfield University, which launched a lifelong relationship with the school. He received a BS in Chemistry in 1951, and a Masters in Secondary Education in 1952. From 1952-1954, he served in the US Army during the Korean War. Jack began his career in education in 1955 as a science teacher at Harding High School. In 1969, he began teaching chemistry and physics at Trumbull High School, and in 1976 was named Chairman of the Science Department. In 1984, he started a ten-year career at Fairfield Prep, where he taught physics and chemistry. He became Chairman of the Science Department there in 1989, and he was instrumental in the design and construction of new science labs and classrooms. While raising his nine children, Jack often had to work more than one job. He spent eight years at Upward Bound at Fairfield University, taught part-time at Sacred Heart University for 22 years, and taught evenings at Housatonic Community College and the University of New Haven. For his commitment to education, he was honored with the Outstanding Science Teacher Award by Sigma Xi Chemical Research Society of Quinnipiac University in 1991, the Presidential Award for Excellence in 1992, and was named Educator of the Year at Fairfield Prep in 1993. He coached the Prep bowling team to a 1987 State Championship. Why Wasn’t I Succeeding in Class? Continued from page 39 while it everyday remained a struggle, the effort necessary was always worth it to be able to play hockey for Prep. After four years, I graduated with my classmates from a school I could not have without my diagnosis. My confidence restored, I went on to graduate from Fairfield University while studying Philosophy and Neuropsychology. All of this would have been unattainable without the strong love and support of friends, mentors, and my family who had always believed in my ability. As children we are told to dream unabashedly. In our bedroom mirrors we are astronauts, firefighters, and the shapers of a future generation. It is the societal role of a school to create an atmosphere that helps guide its children to succeed. However, education often follows a standard which for the majority is to succeed. The exceptions to a rule are never convenient to recall. Moreover, they require more time, effort, and attention. Yet, they are essential for a more comprehensive understanding of the rule. As a student, I was the exception to the rule. I required more time, effort, and attention in order to complete assignments. As one of twenty-five, I needed to be noticed. I needed one-on-one tutorials, visual aids for math, and above all I needed teachers with patience, compassion, and belief that I 48 Prep Today Hemenway ’61 Volunteering in Jamaica and Beyond Continued from page 38 worked closely with Dr. Richard Garvey MD to perform the surgeries at no cost. Caring for the children in these communities can change your life in various ways. A 6-year-old boy was having a birthday the week that PRN was visiting the Kingston community. After his birthday, the child returned to the clinic and tugged on Dr. Jerry’s arm, “do you remember me?” Dr. Jerry asked how his birthday was and the child excitedly replied that he received his first ever birthday present. Dr. Jerry was so happy, “what did you get?” The child held out his hand and showed everyone the little matchbox car that all the children received after their examinations with PRN. His first birthday present was the free giveaway that Dr. Hemenway had given to him. The imprint of a Fairfield Prep education is evident in his service to all. This past October, as Dr. Hemenway was cleaning up his exam table in a clinic, one of the mothers told him, “You know, Dr. Jerry, you are our family doctor.” “I know,” smiled Dr. Hemenway and he climbed into the waiting bus to get ready for the next group of children, putting into action his Jesuit education to thousands of children and adults. In addition to Jamaica, PRN Relief has supported relief efforts in Sri Lanka post-tsunami, Liberia post-war, Dominican Republic, Haiti and post-Katrina. Donations are gratefully accepted to continue the mission of service to all. For more information about PRN Relief contact Denise Walsh at [email protected] could succeed. What I needed was Eagle Hill. As a long-time friend of the Sylvestro family, I inquired about the possibility of working here. It has been a perfect match. On a daily basis I see children who, like me, struggled to fit the mold of the traditional classroom. These children are exceptions to the rule. Whatever their obstacle, I know it is my duty to support their efforts to better themselves. It is my job to be the teacher I never had and stand as a role model that has overcome a similar circumstance. Eagle Hill represents a reminder to our society to recognize that exceptions to the rule occasionally do exceptional things. For our world would be drastically different without the historical impact made by those who did not let a learning disability deter them. Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Pablo Picasso, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Winston Churchill, Walt Disney, and John F. Kennedy overcame their struggles with learning. I leave you with a quote by Albert Einstein. “Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.” At this school we do that everyday, and instill the confidence that just might change the world for a student. Editor’s Note: Regarding Fairfield Prep, Vin adds, “I have one request: Please thank all of my previous teachers for their patience and willingness to help me. I was a very difficult student, and in this speech, I didn’t give them the credit they deserve. Their guidance and support was monumental, and for it I cannot be more grateful.” Welcome to the Class of 2015 Everett K. Alcan Michael J. Connelly Ryan T. Gannon Peter G. Lainas Matthew A.
