Our teachers and coaches encourage students to take risks, knowing that — with support and direction — such experiences lead to new levels of knowledge and confidence, openness to leadership and collaboration, and service to others inside the school and into their communities today and after graduation. Lessons in expression and choreography; Dan joins students in a little theatrical fun as they prepare for this spring’s musical: “Footloose.” The show will be the final performance held in the auditorium prior to its renovation. PSALM 33: 1-3 “REJOICE YOU RIGHTEOUS, IN THE LORD, PRAISE FROM THE UPRIGHT IS FITTING. GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD ON THE HARP, ON THE TEN-STRINGED LYRE OFFER PRAISE. SING TO HIM A NEW SONG, SKILLFULLY PLAY WITH JOYFUL CHANT.” But, it takes courage to be out front . . . to stand up in front of the class and make a presentation, share the solution to a math problem, or present a thoughtful argument; to stand with others, side by side, for justice and peace; to be on the athletic field or court with people watching and remaining noble in a win or courageous in a loss; to stand in front of your peers, parents, and teachers reciting a poem you have written or performing a song you have prepared. And, it takes courage to try out for a play, join a chorus, learn a new instrument, challenge yourself vocally, and take responsibility for lights and sound and props during a performance. Sixty-five years ago, when the Marianist brothers and priests, joined by hundreds of parents and alumni and students who helped raise funds for construction costs, built the school’s auditorium and performing arts rehearsal spaces, they believed that the students of their era deserved learning and performance spaces worthy of the outstanding productions to come. They built one of the largest auditoriums in Dayton at the time when many high schools were foregoing auditoriums for combined cafeteria, auditorium, and gymnasium space. They constructed state-of-the-art rehearsal spaces for band and choir. Beginning this fall, after decades of joy and sound and drama and laughter and spit valves and broken reeds and fractured strings — and singing a new song to the LORD — in these spaces, today’s CJ students will again have the opportunity to learn and grow and take risks and be on stage in our newly-renovated performing arts center. When this project is complete next fall, we will have doubled the available rehearsal and classroom space for the performing arts department and given our beloved auditorium its first significant renovation in its history. This project — like all the renovations and construction projects of the last five years — is only possible because of the generous support of the school community. Alumni, parents, local and national foundations, friends of the arts, and friends of our students have made contributions, large and small, so that our young women and men can learn and perform in spaces worthy of their talents and passion. When you see information next school year about an upcoming concert or play, I encourage you to make the return trip to the Chaminade Julienne auditorium. Come see our students, with today’s version of the harp and ten-stringed lyre and with voices ready for the joyful chant, sing to the LORD a new song of praise. May God continue to bless you in great abundance. Daniel J. Meixner ‘84 President Vision Vision is a publication of Chaminade Julienne Catholic High School for alumni, parents and friends.

Jenkins ‘02 COVER STORY: Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur and Sr. Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN, ‘49 In early December, the school community, along with representatives from the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, commemorated the 175th anniversary of the Sisters’ arrival in the U.S. The celebration also served as the unveiling of the Sr. Dorothy Stang ‘49, SNDdeN Ohio Historical Marker. “The marker will be a great addition to the city and community,” said Sr. Judi Clemens ‘58, SNDdeN. On October 31, 1840, a group of eight pioneering women came to Cincinnati, Ohio, from Belgium at the invitation of Bishop John Purcell to build a strong Catholic school system in the Diocese. Only one of the Sisters spoke English at the time of their arrival. With these eight women came the establishment of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in the United States, an order initially founded in France in 1804. Within 10 weeks of their arrival, the Sisters had started a high school, academy, and a free school for the poor. In 175 years of history in the U.S., the Sisters have established more than 100 schools, and taught in more than 200 schools in 22 states. Also attending the celebration were Chloe Johnson and Anjali Phadke from the Dayton Regional STEM school who organized the approval of the historical marker for Sr. Dorothy, who was murdered in February 2005 while doing missionary work in Brazil. Johnson and Phadke said a history class assignment prompted them to consider historical Ohio figures, and after learning more about Sr. Dorothy’s martyrdom and her mission, the pair said they were excited to apply and be approved for a marker honoring Sr. Dorothy. “It is amazing how Sr. Dorothy did everything even with a bounty on her,” Phadke said. “We are glad that this marker can be a tribute to her and we’re glad it is at Chaminade Julienne so it can be seen by everyone.” Sr. Judi added, “The girls were inspired and that’s what we want to happen. The marker is not private property of CJ or the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur; Dorothy is a global citizen.” The official dedication of the marker will be held at “They were following St. Julie’s beliefs, to teach all that a later date. is needed for life, as they lived the revelation of God’s goodness, “ Sr. Judi told the CJ community.

The Priesthood: A Simply Happy Life By Fr. David Brant ‘53 Photo Courtesey of: Maria Laughlin, Director of Stewardship and Development, St. James Cathedral About the Author David Brant ’53 recently celebrated his Golden Jubilee of Ordination and lives at the St. James Cathedral Rectory in Seattle. He remains active in the parish community and regularly offers weekday Mass. While it has been many decades since he walked the halls of Chaminade High School, he vividly remembers a push to get involved in extracurricular activities. It wasn’t long before he had a flute in his hand even though he “knew nothing about music.” By his senior year, however, he was giving lessons to other musical novices. His brother, Charles, is a member of the Class of ’48 and lives in Columbus. WINTER 2016 2 I tell people I ran away from home when I was 20. I graduated from Chaminade and then went to the University of Dayton for a year and a half. But then I took off cross-country with a friend of mine. I don’t know exactly why we went. We didn’t know where we were going or what we would do, but we knew our futures lay beyond Ohio’s border. My journey took me to the state of Washington where I found work in the phonographic department of a local store. My girlfriend and I went to Easter Vigil together and I was profoundly moved. I received Holy Communion for the first time in awhile. The next morning, I returned for morning Mass. A thought came to me at the Vigil and it became more and more clear that I wanted to be a priest. When I was at Chaminade, I was interested in the priesthood, but my dad wasn’t Catholic and I was too afraid to approach him. It wasn’t until I was out on my own that I felt confident enough to do this. My dad wasn’t happy at first, but I remember my brother telling him, “Let David do what he wants.” Since I came to the idea of becoming a priest later than most at the time, I was four years older than anyone else in my class at the seminary. It took eight years of study and there were many challenges. Seminarians weren’t allowed to have text in front of them for their sermons, and I told one of the priests that I didn’t think I was cut out to be a priest after all. I didn’t know how I could get up in front of everyone and preach. But, here I am 50 years later. There have been other challenges along the way, but I’ve never looked back nor had any second thoughts on what path I decided to follow in my life. I’ve always liked what I’ve been doing and that’s a blessing – one for which I take no credit. It’s always been a really happy life for me. V liv ing th e faith A Home Run for CJ By Mike Hoendorf ‘03 I f you had told me 13 years ago, while I was a senior at CJ, that I would be back at school working as a member of the staff, I would have never believed you! My dreams for the future had centered on owning a sporting goods store. Pursuing these plans, I earned a business degree at Wright State University, and then coached baseball for a year at the University of Dayton. It was one of the most enjoyable years of my life, and I learned what I enjoyed most — coaching! It was something that I wanted to continue, but just not at the college level. Working with players at UD and helping them learn more about becoming the best version of themselves had begun to shape my ideas for what I wanted out of a career. After leaving UD, I worked as an accountant at a local manufacturing company and quickly realized that crunching numbers was not for me. Soon after, I learned about Life Success Seminars out of Cincinnati and attended their Basic and IPI programs. It was the first time I took for self-reflection since my retreats at CJ. The experience helped me make a one-degree shift in my life, rekindling a fire within me for my faith and the need to share it with others. This shift led to me becoming the head baseball coach at Greenon High School, and a substitute teacher at CJ. Ultimately, I applied for and accepted the position of assistant director in CJ’s ministry and service office. Looking back, all of my experiences helped prepare me for this opportunity of “coaching” students. Every class, job, adventure, challenge, and relationship helped me realize the importance of my faith and how much I enjoyed sharing it. In the fall of 2013, I had a new opportunity to grow in my faith. Tim O’Loughlin, now CJ religion teacher, approached me about joining him on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje. I was slow to commit, but Tim was persistent. Sure enough, that summer I found myself on my way to Medjugorje with 30 others, mostly high school students. While I joined the group to lend support, I had two personal goals in mind: find out God’s plan for my life, and walk up Cross Mountain just as my mom did 10 years before, barefoot. While leading students on a trip of this kind felt natural, climbing a 5,000 ft. rocky mountain was the hardest thing I had ever attempted. It was a life metaphor: the journey started by learning how to walk on rocks, tip-toeing like a toddler does with its first steps. Other portions of the climb were less rough and easier to navigate. Nearing the top, the way was filled with pebbles and no big rocks for support. But with every step, I started to let go of things that I had been holding onto for some time, some for more than 10 years. The pains that Jesus and Mary asked me to leave at the foot of the cross no longer affect me in the same way. I was blessed to go back to Medjugorje this past summer in the company of my whole family. Since taking these trips, I still experience up’s and down’s — because that’s About the Author Mike Hoendorf ‘03 is in his fourth year as the assistant director of CJ’s Ministry and Service program. He is also a co-director of the Marianist LIFE group at CJ, and an assistant coach for the school’s varsity baseball team. He is currently pursuing a masters degree in pastoral ministry from the University of Dayton, and enjoys spending time with family and friends, attending CJ events, going out to eat , and finding ways to grow his faith. life. But now I go about living life differently, for the better, and with a deeper faith than I could have ever imagined as a senior in high school. From personal experience, I can share that struggles can be met and changed with the commitment to doing something different about them each day. It takes making one small step at a time, heading in God’s direction. V VISION 3 Mission Integration Teams Deepening the Experience of our Charisms I t’s more than just learning about school mission – the Chaminade Julienne Mission Integration Team is focused on living it out. “We look at how we can bring CJ’s mission to life through daily experiences and activities that enhance our school’s charisms,” said MIT co-chair Molly Bardine. “How do we see this living out in the lives of our faculty members?” The Mission Integration Team is a 10-person committee comprised of faculty and staff members. MIT provides faculty education programs, coordinates faith-sharing events, creates prayer services and events that celebrate the Marianists or Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, and offers networking opportunities with other Marianist institutions. “We look to maintain the spirit of both orders in a vibrant way,” said MIT cochair Nancy Dever. “One of our strengths as a school is the strong connection we have to those orders, the relationships we enjoy with their members, and the information we share. It gives us a stronger sense of who we are and what our mission is.” History of Intentional Inclusion Such mission-driven programs are nothing new as the General Chapter of the Society of Mary created Local Implementation Teams (LIT) in the late 1990s. The focus was to work with members of the school community to develop programs for the daily living of the Characteristics of Marianist Education (CME). It became the Mission Effectiveness Team (MET) in 2000, and included guaranteed, ongoing communication between Marianist-sponsored schools and the province office of education. MIT – which evolved from the Mission Effectiveness Program – is a program now required of all Marianist schools. While many MIT initiatives are facultycentered, it is not the group’s sole focus. The Senior Capstone program integrates both the CMEs as well as the Hallmarks of a Notre Dame de Namur Learning Community. Similar mission-driven messages are also shared with other members of the CJ community like parents and the Board of Trustees. “We see ourselves as caretakers of the mission,” Bardine said. “We live it in our classrooms and share it with the community.” The group is currently finalizing a new four-year plan for the school that will set goals and strategies to help deepen the experience of charisms at CJ. Ultimately, students will have an even better understanding of school mission because of the way faculty and staff live and teach Catholic values rooted in the charisms of the school’s founding orders.

From 4-5 p.m., students, faculty members, and alumna Mary Pyper ‘76 lead listeners in the praying of the Rosary, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and a Divine Mercy Litany. Pyper, a parent of four CJ graduates, is the treasurer of Radio Maria and runs all of the organization’s Dayton operations. She contacted religion teacher Tim O’Loughlin about this opportunity. “All prayer is good, but this prayer group is special to me,” he said. “We’re not only praying as individuals, but also as a CJ family, and we’re praying with one million Radio Maria listeners worldwide. How cool is that? “Much of Radio Maria programming is done by adults. This is one of the few student run programs,” O’Loughlin said. “We have some amazing kids in this building, and the CJ community should be proud about what goes on here.” Tommy Krug ‘16 had participated in praying the Rosary on Radio Maria over the summer at the Bergamo Center, and S Accomplished & inspiration to do more Homelessness and Awareness Week, CJ’s community-wide effort for collecting donations for those in need in the Dayton area, was held just prior to the Thanksgiving holiday and correlated with Pope Francis’ call to end hunger by 2025.

The $1 million dollar project, planned to be completed in the fall of 2016, will double the school’s performing arts rehearsal and classroom spaces, and rejuvenate the current 740 seat auditorium originally constructed in 1951. “Because of the generosity of those who wish to inspire and bring out the very best in our students performing on stage — as well as on the field — we will raise the curtain to the new and improved CJ auditorium and performing arts spaces next fall,” he said. “When complete, we will have a million dollar performing arts center worthy of the priceless performances of our students.” The capital investment in the performing arts program is in addition to the construction of Roger Glass Stadium — Home of the Eagles which was announced in August, and is in addition to capital priorities outlined in LIFT. “In January of 2014, we announced improvements that our community wanted to accomplish through LIFT, a bold initiative that would significantly elevate the teaching and learning experience for our teachers and students,” said Meixner. “It is a tribute to our alumni, parents and friends that this project is now funded and we can continue with further development and construction of the performing arts spaces this spring.” V at the same time represents our commitment to holistic learning.

In 2011, a $20 million plan for the overall elevation of the school with defined goals was approved by the Board of Trustees. LIFT— Leading In Faith Today prioritized three objectives: to enable strategic program implementation & increase endowment; to grow the annual 2013 CJ STEMM Center fund to subsidize school operational and tuition assistance needs; and to enhance the teaching and learning environment for students and teachers. Major support funded the development of the Eagle Tennis Center and provided resources that allowed teachers and staff to initialize City Connects, Connected Classroom and Senior Capstone. 2013 Mary, Our Lady of Victory Gym From 2012-2013, major support for capital improvements brought to life the CJ STEMM Center and revitalized the school gym, now dedicated to Mary, Our Lady of Victory.

Once support has been raised, the process for upgrades will begin with bringing HVAC to this area of the school. “This area of focus in raising support will make summer activities and year-round learning possible throughout the entire school,” said Jim Walworth, director of development. “Also, when students, teachers, and staff return to school each August, all will be able to focus on studies rather than concentrate on how to manage the heat.” A priority of LIFT was to provide modernized teaching and learning spaces for the next generation of students. Tired classrooms demanded fresh design that would match the innovative approach teachers take in delivering curriculum today. A comfortable and stimulating environment matched with inspired teaching are key elements in preparing students for success in college. And, it is what CJ expects to accomplish over the next several years. “Meeting this goal is a crucial component of what was imagined for the overall success of LIFT in its entirety, ” said Walworth. “Anything less would not be CJ.” V BUILDING THREE — beginning the process Hallways & Climate Control Classrooms & Learning Spaces The final countdown begins!

VISION 9 Investing In Downtown Dayton Inspired by Partnerships Attract More to Great Experiences in Dayton When Chaminade Julienne shared its plans to further develop and revitalize nearly 16 acres of property in the southwest quadrant of downtown, several community organizations stepped forward with resources to help make it all happen. A common theme to all was their desire to be part of an overall effort that they knew would draw more people downtown, and for the economic value to the city. WHAT: upgrading the RTA stop on Washington Street at Perry Street in the style of CJ gateways “We are happy to partner with CJ on the rebuild of this corridor, which will provide a transit-friendly area for the larger community. The overall design is out of CJ’s vision and will incorporate a design element that ties into our main Transit Center. We are very excited about this type of partnership — always supporting downtown’s development, whether it’s the bike share, a baseball stadium, or celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr. (for example). Where there’s an opportunity to help the community or our region, we like to be at the front of the line. ~ John Hoff, RTA, Senior Performance Management Analyst WHAT: relocating pipelines to work with the structure of the athletic fields; enhancing energy efficiencies for the performing arts spaces “I think CJ is going to completely change the nature of this section of downtown, attracting people and dollars downtown at various times of the day and night, during the weekday and on weekends. This project will be a great draw for the community, and we wanted to be part of that improvement effort. We look for and find ways to work with the downtown community, in particular, with STEM, energy efficiency and community sus- tainability. These are all areas where we feel we can make a difference and partnering with CJ is a good fit.” ~ Colleen Ryan, Vectren Energy Delivery of Ohio, President WHAT: providing economic development and infrastructure improvement support “The key reason for our partnership in this project is CJ’s vision to develop unused property and create public spaces on campus. The Miami Valley is a diverse community and DP&L knows there’s more to powering people’s lives than distributing electricity. That’s why we’re actively involved in many different aspects of our communities. Whether it’s working with partner organizations to energize economic growth, investing in education and workforce development or establishing commercial sites that attract new business and create jobs, we are proud to be at the heart of the communities we serve.” ~ Holly Wiggins, Dayton, Power & Light, Director of Community & Corporate Social Responsibility Places of Welcome for the Dayton Community Dayton Dynamo to Call RGS Home When we announced the construction of Roger Glass Stadium — Home of the Eagles in August, we anticipated that the beautiful new facility would be a place of welcome and prominence in downtown Dayton,” said Dan Meixner ‘84, president. “We are excited for this opportunity to be the future home of Dayton Dynamo and join them in welcoming a growing number of new and returning fans from across the region. We look forward to hosting professional soccer downtown in a facility perfect for the sport.” At the Dec. 3 announcement of the return of Dayton Dynamo to Dayton, pictured, l-r: CJ president Dan Meixner; Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley; Dayton Dynamo owner & CEO, WINTER 2016 10 David Satterwhite; and team head coach, Dave Wall. CJ Auditorium to Debut with Fresh Opportunities Originally dedicated in fall 1960, the CJ auditorium will undergo renovations immediately following the spring musical, “Footloose,” and will reopen in the fall. In addition to assemblies, performances, prayer services and school presentations, CJ anticipates opening the curtain to others who wish to accommodate more than 700 guests in vibrant surroundings. This past year, the auditorium was host site for the Emmanuel Home School for their annual play; the University of Dayton’s “Life Itself Dance” dance ensemble; and Holy Angels School for Christmas concerts.

Unique about this particular class was that six out of the seven honorees were members of the Class of 2005. “The six athletes recognized were all in their first year of eligibility for consideration and went on to compete at the Division 1 level in college for their respective sport.Simply put, no collection of individual athletes in school history accomplished more while at CJ and after than the Class of 2005.” — Mike Lehner, Associate Director of Development George Menker ‘55 | Special In 2007, George Menker started the girl’s golf program at CJ. The team has an all-time record of 204-48 in nine years, and has finished an astounding 131-9 over the past five seasons. They have finished in the top four in the state championship each of the past five seasons, including winning it all in 2011.

He was a two-time state qualifier in both the 100 and 200 and finished in the top six in both events at the 2004 State Finals. Mansfield continued his swimming career after CJ at the University of Pittsburgh. Maria Getty ‘05 | Basketball Getty’s accomplishments include being named to the 1st team all-state twice while leading her teams to two state championships and a combined 99-7 record during her four years.

Getty continued her playing career at Villanova University where she was a four-year starter. Aisha Jefferson ‘05 | Basketball Jefferson earned countless national accolades and was named as Ms. Ohio Basketball by the Ohio State Basketball Coaches Association for 2005 (no other team in state history has had two different players be recognized as the state player of the year on the same team). After graduation, she went on to play at Michigan State University where she was a three-time captain. Jefferson finished her career 11th and 13th on the alltime MSU scoring and rebounding lists. Derrick Brown ‘05 | Basketball Brown is the only player in school history to go on to play in the NBA. He was a three-year varsity starter who helped lead the Eagles to the State final four in 2005. Brown received a full athletic scholarship to Xavier University and after graduation, was selected 40th overall in the NBA draft, playing in that league for three seasons. Jaimel Johnson ‘05 | Soccer As a three-year varsity goaltender for the Eagles women’s soccer program, Johnson set school records for fewest goals allowed in school history. She was named to the Dayton AllArea team all three years, and her final season she was selected as the Division 1 player of the year.

Mary Margaret, who lives at the St. Leonard Living Community, was hoping to reconnect with Dix, and had shared her desire with daughter-in-law, Audrey Toohey. “I knew Annette Casella, who is a relative of Willie’s,” Audrey said. “We made arrangements and here we all are today!” The reunion doubly served as a birthday celebration for Wilhelmina, who turned 104 on Friday, November 13. “God is good,” Wilhelmina emphasized. Before Wilhelmina arrived, Mike Lehner, CJ’s associate director of development, showed Mary Margaret pictures of the Julienne Class of 1930 from CJ’s archives, along with the class composite that currently hangs on the walls of CJ. “Do you recognize this girl?” Lehner asked Mary Margaret. “That’s me!” she said with a smile as she looked at her senior class photo. After graduation, Mary Margaret said she held several jobs, including one at the Young Women’s League. “The job I loved the best was at the University of Dayton,” Mary Margaret shared. “I worked there 19 years as a stenographer.” Both Mary Margaret and Wilhelmina’s families have had generations of relatives pass through the doors of Chaminade, Julienne, and CJ.

When thinking about her time at Julienne, Wilhelmina said, “I love all my memories of Julienne. Julienne was wonderful. “I used to have to walk from the streetcar to the bus. Sometimes we took the Wayne Avenue streetcar and we got off on Main Street — the Wayne came up almost to my house on Wyoming Street. It stopped and was a dead-end line. They would change the car and then go back into town. We used to run for that Wayne Avenue bus.” “Sister Bernadette Marie was our principal,” Mary Margaret said when thinking about her time at Julienne. “I also remember Sister Agnus and Sister Clara, who was the mathematician.” Annette, who is a 1960 graduate of St. Joseph Commercial, agreed, “I don’t know After enjoying birthday cake, the classhow else to express it other than incredmates continued to share fond memories ible.
