From The Hip
One of my favorite titles is “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”,
the award-winning short story by Joyce Carol Oates. Although the plot has no
connection or correlation to La Salle College High School, the title certainly
applies to changes and developments at the school over the last few years.
I remember my father telling me stories about La College High School students
who occupied the second and third floors of Wister Hall on the campus of
La Salle College in the late 1950’s. In 1960, the school made the historic move
to a new building located in the rolling hills of Wyndmoor. As a student in the
late 1970’s and early 1980’s, I experienced firsthand a school that was head and
shoulders above the rest; however, never could I have imagined the La Salle
College High School of today.
Over the last twenty years, the school has acquired adjoining properties and
homes – Alumni House, Dunleavy Center, and Allinson House – have created a
bona fide campus. In September of 1993, St. Michael Hall opened. The five-level
addition featuring the McShain Library and state-of-the-art classrooms brought
art and technology to the forefront of the school’s curriculum. Nine years
later, the West Wing was built and provided much needed space for music
and athletics.
In 2004, the Board of Trustees adopted a Strategic Plan that identified the key
needs and priorities of the school over the next five years. The Board’s vision and
overall commitment to the school’s mission launched Fulfilling The Promise, a
$25 million capital campaign for land acquisition, construction, renovations, and
financial aid.
In 2007, the school acquired the 34-acres adjacent to Route 309 and Paper Mill
Road. Shortly thereafter, the land was developed into Ward Field, a baseball
complex that rivals some minor league ballparks, along with McCarthy Trail, the
Brother Gratian of Jesus Environmental Center, and two additional practice fields
for football, soccer, and/or lacrosse.
In the spring of 2007, construction began on a 40,000 square foot, four-level
academic wing that houses a counseling center, campus ministry area, study
commons, two laboratories, six classrooms, and a technology center. At the
center of the new addition is the Marian Chapel, which for the first time,
provides a dedicated place of worship within the school. Upon completion of the
new wing, renovations began to McLean Hall. All of the original academic areas
were sequentially renovated as were the administrative areas. New walls, ceilings, floors/carpeting, windows, HVAC, etc. brought new life to an aging building.
The final pieces of equipment moved out in late August and 1,069 boys moved in
on September 9, 2009. The facilities that these boys occupy are nothing short of
magnificent. Visitors stand in awe of new buildings and the technology operating
within. Nothing is outdated and everything shines, including the faces of the
faculty and students.
I walk the hallways and grounds and marvel at our accomplishments. La Salle
College High School has a long and storied history – one that makes us proud
of what we have and where we have been. Where are we going? Let’s just say
that the vision is clear and the future is bright. More importantly, it is a future in
which everyone will want to have a part.

Fulfilling
The Promise
by Christopher M. Carabello ’82 page 3
At the inaugural Founder’s Gala held in April of 2006, La Salle College
High School launched one of the most ambitious initiatives the school
has ever undertaken. The $25 million capital campaign, Fulfilling the Promise,
is the largest fundraising effort in the history of the school. The campaign is
aptly named after our founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle, and his promise to
educate young men of various backgrounds. The success of the campaign would rely
on support from the entire La Salle community and the results of these efforts
would benefit the school’s greatest asset – our students as a commitment to provide
the best possible education and facilities for these young men continues to be
at the forefront of the school’s mission and vision.

La Salle College High School is an institution rich in
history and tradition. The “promise” is not limited
to the mission of our Founder and, in fact, is evident
every day. The dedication of our faculty and their
promise to develop each student’s unique God-given
talents. The commitment of the school administration and their promise to foster academic excellence,
service, and leadership. The faithfulness of our parents
and their promise to provide their son(s) with the best
possible education. The loyalty of our alumni and their
promise to take ownership in the school’s future.
The “promise” is at the core our very being. In the
151 years since our founding at St. Michael Parish in
North Philadelphia, our greatest resource has been our
mission and vision and our willingness and commitment to share it with the entire La Salle community.
Today, La Salle College High School continues to fulfill
its promise by providing an education that consists of
academic challenge, intellectual openness, emotional
security, and environmental safety. It was fitting that
Fulfilling The Promise be chosen as the name of this
$25 million capital campaign.
Charlie Dunleavy ’61 assumed the helm as the initial
Chairman of the campaign and was instrumental in
soliciting gifts that allowed the campaign to reach
$10 million. Al Gabriele succeeded Charlie early in
2008 as the Chairman of the Campaign.
Al recognized that like the first $10 million, raising the
remaining $15 million would require focused leadership and the efforts of a dedicated group of individuals. Over the course of the last eighteen months,
the capital campaign has raised $20 million, which
includes a major estate gift for endowment that represents the largest gift in the history of the school and
two seven figure gifts from alumni that provide naming opportunities for the new baseball field as well as
the Sacred Heart Courtyard.
One of the most remarkable
The $20 million that has already been raised secures
the land acquisition and development along with
the construction of the new academic building and
renovations to McLean Hall. Not only have the initial
phases of construction been completed, but the
projects are within the original budget. The remaining
$5 million represents the funds that are needed to
“fulfill” the endowment commitment to the
campaign, which will provide financial aid and allow
the school to keep its “promise” to remain
competitive and provide an affordable education
for all young men.

Al Gabriele continues to work tirelessly with the
Office of Institutional Advancement and the Capital
Campaign Committee to stay focused on the vision
and the task at hand.
strength. In addition, the new fields and buildings
provide recognition for both the campaign and the
strategic plan and allow the La Salle Community to
see the objectives that have already been achieved.
With very little corporate or foundation money
available, the remaining efforts will rely heavily on
contributions from alumni, parents, and other friends
of the school.
An appeal to the entire La Salle community has begun
and the campaign cabinet is confident that the “
La Salle Faithful” will rise in support of these initiatives
and continue to “fulfill its promise” to the school’s
mission and vision.

Faced with the task of raising an additional $5 million,

who represent a new pool of potential donors. Al will
focus on major prospects and contributions, while the
campaign cabinet will be charged with the solicitation

campaign within the La Salle Community.

Redefining Leadership
In 1982, La Salle College High School became an
independent high school when it legally separated from La Salle University. This formal break
was the culmination of a natural progression that
visibly started when the doors of 8605 Cheltenham Avenue first opened in 1960, and it marked
the creation of the Board of Trustees. The authority and responsibility of the Board has evolved
over the years, most dramatically over the past
six years at the direction of the Provincial head
of the Christian Brothers.
Until June 2004, the Chairman of the Board was the
Provincial Head of the Baltimore District of the Christian Brothers. In July 2004, a major milestone in La
Salle’s history was set as Al Gabriele became the first
lay Chairman of the Board. Al and his wife, Barbara,
have two sons who graduated from La Salle (John ‘84
and James ‘87), and he served in leadership roles on
the Board since joining it in 1998. Prior to his election
as Chair, Al played an active role in the Forever
La Salle Campaign, as Chair of the Development
Committee, and participated in the planning process
for the 2004 Strategic Vision. As Chair, Al’s leadership, during a critical period of transition, forged a
new direction for La Salle and the function of the
Board – which is exemplary among peer institutions.
As part of the successful deployment of the 2004
Strategic Vision, Al guided the launch of the Fulfilling
the Promise Capital Campaign, of which he still serves
as Campaign Chair. Al stewarded the renaissance
envisioned by the 2004 Strategic Vision resulting in
the new academic wing and athletic fields, and the
total renovation of its existing academic facilities. Al’s
term as Chair ended in June 2009 but because of his
insight and management skills his impact on La Salle
will continue into the future.
In February 2009, the Members elected Ben Ventresca
’70 to be the next Board Chairman. Ben is a secondgeneration Lasallian (his father Ben, Sr. graduated in
the storied Class of 1945) and was followed by his
two sons Ryan ‘95 and Gregory ‘96. While their sons
were at La Salle, both Ben and his wife Susan were
actively involved in the school serving as Treasurers of
the Men of La Salle and the Mothers’ Club for three
years and co-chairs of LaSale in 1993, 1994, and
1995. Ben joined the Board in July 2001 and in 2003
chaired one of the four task forces in the planning
process that created the 2004 Strategic Vision. His
task force developed the current model for fundraising, communications, and branding. Throughout the
2004-2005 school year he played a leading role in the
reorganization and transition needed to achieve the
current model. During the eight years leading up to
his election as Chair, he served as Chairman of the Institutional Advancement Committee for four years and
as Board Vice-Chair for two years. He has also served
as one of the two Vice-Chairmen of the Fulfilling the
Promise Campaign.
Today’s Board of Trustees works in association
with the Institute of The Brothers of the Christian
Schools to define and protect the mission of
the School in the tradition of the teachings of
Saint John Baptist de La Salle. As envisioned
by the Province, La Salle’s Board is a governing Board of limited jurisdiction. This structure
allows the Institute to sponsor the school and
to perpetuate the Lasallian legacy through close
association with the Trustees of the Board and
the Administration.
11 Explorer Fall 2009
The Board of Trustees is an active governing body
that is comprised of twenty-nine men and women
who bring unique expertise and perspectives to the
challenge of leading and governing a progressive
school that is guided by Roman Catholic principles
and steeped in a rich Lasallian tradition and heritage.
The interests of the Christian Brothers are represented
by three senior Members of the Christian Brothers
Community. The Chairman is elected by the Corporate Members in consultation with the President and
elected Trustees.
The Trustees of the Board represent a melting pot of
La Salle’s heritage. They include people whose love
for the School stems from having been the child of a
former graduate, a “Brothers’ Boy”, a past parent, a
past teacher/administrator, or from a recognition of
the importance of a Catholic Lasallian education in
molding the men of tomorrow. These people share a
passionate commitment to keeping the vision of De
La Salle alive and relevant to young boys and their
families for decades to come.
La Salle’s Board is a working board. The work of the
Board is primarily performed at the Committee level,
and the purpose of the quarterly Board meetings
is to elicit a discussion that draws on the skills and
knowledge of the Trustees to address selective issues.
The Committees officially meet four times a year,
but through their task forces and sub-committees
individual Trustees meet on an almost-weekly basis.
The four committees of the Board mirror its primary
responsibilities and authority. They include: Finance
and Property, Governance and Leadership, Institutional Advancement,and Long Range Planning and
Mission. These committees work in concert with the
administration, faculty, and staff as well as with other
stakeholders as appropriate.
As it embarks on a new Board year, in addition to the
normal slate of responsibilities and issues that it will be
addressing, there are two major initiatives that form its
priorities. The first of these is the support of the successful launch and deployment of the Public Phase of
the Fulfilling the Promise Capital Campaign.
The second is the development of the 2010 Strategic
Vision which will set the standard, and general roadmap, for what La Salle will be in 2015. Both of these
are critical to the long-range vitality of La Salle.
La Salle College High School is an outstanding
place of learning and growth whose history is
surpassed only by its potential for the future.
The Board seeks to foster that potential by governing
with a keen understanding of the needs and interests
of each of the stakeholder groups that make up La
Salle. As the Board discerns the future of the School, it
will continue to build upon La Salle’s great legacy and
redefine its relevance.

Mission Statement
adopted by the
Middle States Evaluation Team
March 2006
La Salle College High School,
a Catholic independent, college
preparatory school for young
men of varied backgrounds, is
conducted in the tradition of
St. John Baptist de La Salle.
Through a broad and balanced,
human and Christian education,
La Salle College High School
guides each student in the
development of his unique
God-given talents and fosters
a commitment to academic
excellence, service, and
leadership.
Dear Alums and Friends,
As we begin our 151st year, we bring to an end two years of construction and renovations. I can assure you that
everyone was happy to see the last pieces of equipment depart and the doors opened to our “new digs”. Our
campus has been completely renewed and is ready to serve future generations of Explorers.
We would not have been able to break ground and embark on construction, were it not for the early financial
commitment of a select group of 200 faithful and loyal supporters of La Salle College High School. Hence the
pages of this publication contain not only information on our 2008-2009 Annual Fund, but also a snapshot of
the extraordinary initial success of our capital campaign – Fulfilling the Promise. We still have a goal to reach, so
I hope and pray that more of our faithful friends will show their support to the school and the campaign in the
coming year to help guarantee the future success of La Salle College High School.
At the same time, your generosity has allowed the school to increase financial aid to families in need. The extra
aid has been most helpful to families who desire a Lasallian education for their sons, but may not be able to afford one. Saint John Baptist de La Salle wanted education made available to all students and your support allows
us to continue the mission of our Founder.
I am often surprised to hear from alums who say that they haven’t been back to the campus since graduation.
I always encourage them to visit our campus to see how much we have changed over the years. Without fail,
everyone who takes me up on this invitation leaves with a greater pride in their La Salle. When in the area, be
sure to make a visit part of your plans.
La Salle has positioned itself among the very best in the Delaware Valley. Recognition of our academic success
at a national level was evident in our selection by the Siemens Foundation and the College Board to receive the
Siemens Award for student participation and performance in Advanced Placement math, science, and technology courses. La Salle was the only school in Pennsylvania to receive this honor. In addition, 83 students were
recognized as AP Scholars (scoring a 3 or higher on three or more AP tests) and ten students were recognized
as National Merit Finalists. The past academic year also saw La Salle as a leader in every sport by winning eight
championships along with State Championships in Hockey and Lacrosse. Over 150 students received All-Catholic
recognition and La Salle clearly established itself in its first year as a member of the PIAA.
In May, 252 graduates left our campus having earned over $26 million in college scholarships. These young men
will be attending colleges and universities in 22 states and the United Kingdom. We wish them every success as
they begin these next four years.
All of this would not have been possible without your support. I thank you for everything that you do in support
of La Salle College High School. Please join me in celebrating these good things and thank the Lord for His blessings upon La Salle.
Sincerely yours,
Brother Richard Kestler, FSC ’60

IN THE FUTURE
Annual Report
Of Giving
2008/2009
16 Explorer Fall 2009
By virtue of the generosity of the greater La Salle community,
2008/2009 Annual Giving initiatives raised over $910,000 in support
of the institution. The 2008/2009 De La Salle Alumni Annual Fund,
coupled with this year’s La Salle Responds Initiative, raised the majority
of the funds in support of La Salle College High School. In light of the economic landscape, we asked all of our alumni to make La Salle a
priority this year, and make a gift to the La Salle Responds Initiative to help
“Keep ‘em Blue & Gold”. This initiative proved to be exceptionally successful, and
it has allowed us to address and re-address many financial aid situations.
The Parent Annual Fund also once again drew strong support, raising over $130,000 in support of Professional Development. Also, there was once again great support from our internal La Salle community to the
Faculty/Staff Annual Fund, which supports the Student Emergency Fund.
In an effort to keep the cost of a La Salle education affordable to all qualified students, the school charges
a tuition that only covers 83% of the actual expense to educate a student at La Salle College High School.
The remaining 17% comes from various fundraising initiatives – primarily the De La Salle Annual Fund. Each
and every contribution has a real and immediate effect on our young men and their respective lives. We are
grateful for your continued support.

Letter From The Chairman of the Board of Trustees
Dear Friend of La Salle,
“A successful team beats with one heart.”
This unattributed quote succinctly describes our La Salle family as we pass from year to year. This past year has
been remarkable for La Salle for so many reasons.
A student sells one more roll of wrapping paper…
Just looking around the campus tells a story of accomplishment. Our students dedicate themselves to realizing
their potential in the classroom, in the arts and technology, and in the forums of competition. Our faculty is
recognized for the long-term impact they make on their students; our parents continue to amaze with their
commitment and effectiveness; our Board and Administration are noted for their innovativeness and excellence;
and our alumni continue to distinguish themselves on the world’s stage as well as in our hallowed walls.
A mom attends the Spring Fashion Show and a dad takes his son to Camden Yards…
Speaking of hallowed walls, our campus stands as a testament to the vision of Saint John Baptist. These state
of the art buildings, fields, and open spaces are living monuments to the commitment to educate the whole
student, and to provide an environment in which young men can grow in their faith and discover their potential
again and again.
An alum joins a foursome with his friends at the Annual Golf Outing…
These accomplishments are earned by our students, teachers, parents, and all the stakeholders that make up La
Salle –this is the single heart pulsing throughout the school. But the reality is that none of this happens without
the lifeblood provided by the ever-present fundraising effort. While La Salle isn’t defined by its fundraising, it
certainly is sustained by it.
A teacher places a bid at the LaSale Silent Auction…
Your enthusiastic support of the Annual Giving Campaign, the fundraising efforts of the Mothers ‘ Club, Men of
La Salle and the Alumni Association make more than “a” difference, they make “all the” difference. Your support of the Capital Campaign is resulting in cementing the foundation on which La Salle will continue to build
the future.
A friend calls to tell about a major gift that he/she wants to make to support La Salle’s future…
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all that you have done in
the past year and for all you will do in the coming months.
Sincerely yours,
Benjamin J. Ventresca, Jr. ’70

The Christian Brothers’ morals and ethics combined with rigorous
academic challenges and a sense of community are educational hallmarks,
which lay the background necessary for personal and professional success.
La Salle College High School provided me with those tools from which I benefitted
greatly. I support La Salle in an effort to ensure that other boys can receive the same.

I support La Salle College High School in order to
give underprivileged young men from the inner city
the same outstanding educational opportunity that
I was fortunate enough to experience. La Salle College
High School and the Christian Brothers mean the world to me. Without a doubt, La Salle was and is the very best high school
in the Philadelphia area. The Christian Brothers are the best
educators and the most caring dedicated men I have ever
encountered. Recalling my four years at La Salle brings
thoughts of happiness and fulfillment.

We support La Salle College High School to enable deserving and qualified students to experience
the same educational opportunities that we had as young men. Those opportunities in the unique
La Salle educational environment, at both 20th and Olney and the “new” La Salle campus on
Cheltenham Ave., which we experienced 40 to 50 years ago, gave us the tools, both academically
and spiritually, to confront the diverse challenges of life. Today’s La Salle clearly demonstrates
a continuing and very high standard of excellence across the board, in each of the key educational
“need” areas of academics, spirituality, athletics and facilities.
We were privileged to attend La Salle, and continue to support their educational legacy and the mission of the Christian Brothers, which
is developing and educating the whole person with the hope and the earnest desire that individuals of limited means can continue to
experience an exceptional Lasallian education.
Historically, for more than 300 years, Lasallian Institutions and the Christian Brothers, throughout the world, have meant devotion to
education of the complete person as they carried out the life work of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Today, at La Salle, a diminished group
of dedicated Christian Brothers and a highly effective school faculty carry on the tradition of a human and Christian education in a
continuing and awesomely superb manner, an education that is a powerful enabler in converting boys to La Salle Gentlemen, and in
preparing young men to address their future with confidence.
La Salle College High School is the embodiment, along with the highly effective Christian Brother’s leadership and participation, in the
ongoing implementation of the Lasallian traditions at the very highest level.

in the Christian Brothers tradition that tries, in many, many ways, to
foster the development of better young men who will make a
positive contribution to our society. I support La Salle because I think it is

La Salle made a difference in my own life and continues to make a difference in
the lives of countless young men. My support of La Salle ensures that the school can
continue to do for others what it did for me. The success of its students and alums is tangible
evidence of La Salle’s success as well as my support of their efforts.

Salle College
High School shared a campus with La Salle College until the fall of
1960 when it moved from 20th Street and Olney Avenue to its present campus in
Springfield Township, Montgomery County. The school was built on the on the former
Belcroft estate of Clarence E. Brown and with the move, La Salle College High School
remained in close proximity of the city, but had greater space in which to grow
and develop.
In 1992, the school began construction on a five-story academic wing that added a
new library and information center (McShain Library), a computer center, a media
broadcast center, a faculty work center and lounge, instructional classrooms, a lecture
hall, and an art studio. The new addition was named St. Michael Hall in remembrance
of the school’s humble roots at St. Michael Parish in North Philadelphia, where
La Salle College High School first opened its doors in 1858.

In response to the needs of thriving athletic and music programs, the three-story
West Wing was built in 2002 and houses a large ensemble practice room, instrumental
instruction rooms, and a music computer lab. In addition, the facility is home to a
state-of-the-art fitness center and a multi-purpose practice facility.
In conjunction with the celebration of its 150th Anniversary, the school embarked on its
most ambitious project in an effort to improve facilities. Three new athletic fields, an
environmental study area, and a walking path were developed on 30 acres of adjacent land
that was acquired in 2007. A four-level, 40,000 square foot academic addition now houses
classrooms and science labs, a chapel, a campus ministry center, a counseling center,
a study commons, and a second technology center.

Mary and I support La Salle for a number of reasons. I am appreciative
of the quality and caring education I received and we are both
grateful for the lifelong friendships that developed with so many
classmates, Christian Brothers, lay faculty and staff. We wish to help other
young men enjoy the benefits of a Lasallian education. La Salle College High School
has become a home away from home for us. We have spent so many enjoyable
days and evenings at the school that it truly feels like home. Each year we are
impressed by the quality of young men who form the graduating class. Their
accomplishments – in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and service –
make us proud to be part of this tradition of excellence. Mary and Bob Moran ’69

I support La Salle because it was the most important
educational experience I have had in my career. I realized
this when my nephew, C.J. ’11, told his parents that he
wanted to go to La Salle because he had heard me say
this to them. I never formally spoke to him but he understood
that I recieved excellent teaching and a desire for lifelong
learning at La Salle. I am proud to be in a position to help support
the mission of the Brothers and the academic goals of educating
young men and leaders of the future.

We support La Salle for a couple of reasons. As an alum, I have relationships with fellow alums going back to the early
seventies and even further when I think that my brother started there in 1965. These guys are some of my best friends and
form a network of people that have the common thread of being heavily influenced by the Christian Brothers which fosters a strong
loyalty to each other. There is a solid core value theme that is also part of this experience which is reflected in family values and service
to others. The Christian Brothers helped foster this. We also have had the experience of seeing our sons enjoy their time and seeing the
same theme repeated. We have one son done and another in his second year. Those three years will pass too quickly, but the bonds will
last forever. Tony Maginnis ’76

My financial support of La Salle College High School is a continuation
of my immediate and extended-family’s commitment to the school.
A commitment which began with my older brother’s enrollment, followed by my
own, and then several nephews. The rigorous curriculum, arts, and athletic programs offered a learning experience we have come to appreciate. These aspects,
supported by its Christian foundation, create a unique advancement experience
for young men; one in which we want to advance.

What was great about my experience at La Salle in the 1980’s has only been improved
with time. The support and friendship amongst administrators, teachers, underclassmen
and upperclassmen was one of the things I loved about my time there, and this
appears to remain unchanged. The facilities speak for themselves. The depth of the academic,
artistic, and athletic offerings provides opportunities to all types of students. La Salle is such a warm
and welcoming community, there is no better place that I could imagine sending my sons.

Our reason for supporting La Salle College High School could not be said better than our son’s own words.
Before he left for his last deployment to Iraq, he sent a letter of recommendation to La Salle for a prospective
student. In that letter he spoke of the many aspects of the school that were so influential in his life. He went on to add that
with his responsibilities of leading our nation’s young men around the world he realized the power of his Lasallian education.
Finally, he said how great it was to visit La Salle and to see the place and people that so greatly impacted his ability to lead
and serve. Travis is recognized throughout the Marine Corps for his outstanding leadership and his selfless service to our
country and mankind. La Salle was a big part of nurturing those foundational characteristics that allowed Travis to make a
difference for others.

La Salle High School provided me with a great education
and helped me to develop leadership skills through athletics
and extracurricular activities. I also developed lifelong friendships
with fellow La Salle Students and Faculty and continue to benefit from
La Salle’s strong alumni network. I support La Salle financially in
appreciation of the positive influence La Salle has had on my life. I also
support La Salle so the school can continue its commitment to academic
excellence and preparing young men for future leadership positions.

Faculty Annual Fund
The 2008-2009 Faculty/Staff Annual Fund once again proved to be a very valuable initiative. Members of La Salle’s faculty and
staff contributed over $24,000 to the Student Emergency Fund. This fund was established to help students who may find themselves unable to pay for incidentals such as clothing, school lunches, transportation, field trips, yearbooks, or some other expense
deemed necessary for the good of the student’s La Salle experience. This outpouring of internal support to our young men is
truly a blessing. Thanks to the generosity of the following individuals, all students have access to the resources needed to be a
success at La Salle.

I believe in heroes. Heroes are people on whose shoulders we stand and on whose actions we depend to give rise to our ambitions and
to raise our expectations. Heroes are beacons who attract the best and serve as role models who encourage us to do more than we thought
possible. Heroes are ordinary people who do extraordinary things which change the lives of others; often beyond their own intentions and
sometimes beyond their own expectations. Every institution must identify and celebrate its heroes and when they find them they must put
them on center stage.
La Salle has a true hero in Dave Diehl ‘55. His contributions over the past fifty years have shaped our identity, guided us into the 21st century and confirmed the
path for our future. Throughout his entire professional life, Dave has given us his clarity of thought, his common sense, courage, compassion, loyalty, good humor and
tough-mindedness as a teacher, counselor, coach, administrator, principal, parent, distinguished alumnus and Christian gentleman. More remarkably, Dave is still
teaching, administering, coaching, counseling and serving as a role model for Lasallians with the same integrity and energy as when he came to us in 1960.
I support the La Salle Capital Campaign because I believe it is necessary for all alumni to step forward and recognize their La Salle heroes. This support will be more
than symbolic; it will be a statement of reality that defines in no uncertain terms the best that we have to offer. It will send a resounding message that we expect
excellence from ourselves and from each other. The values that our heroes personify are the qualities that are at the heart of the Christian Brothers mission. They are
what we want to attract and develop in young men. They encompass the best of our past and present and raise the limits of our possibilities.
My La Salle has heroes. I support the La Salle Capital Campaign in honor of one La Salle hero. Does your La Salle have heroes?

Parent Annual Fund
The 2008-2009 Parent Annual Fund, co-chaired by Cathy Cassidy and Greg McLaren, raised over $130,000 in support of La Salle’s
Professional Development Fund. The Professional Development Fund, used by our faculty and staff to pursue post-graduate degrees and certifications, allows La Salle to attract and maintain the best and brightest from the teaching profession. The past and
continued growth of this fund is mostly attributed to the work of the Parents’ Advisory Council, whose leadership and dedication
have greatly impacted its success. We thank the following parents, whose commitment to and support of Professional Development has proven immensely valuable to our faculty and staff.

We believe in the goals and ideals of a Christian Brothers’
education, which I received at La Salle College High School and
both Susan and I received at La Salle College. It was an education
that prepared us for life and an experience that allowed us to be
successful. We feel that is important for us to give back so others can
receive the same opportunity.

La Salle College High School means tradition, Catholic values, and an environment
of caring staff and teachers. We support La Salle because of the long tradition our extended
family has in attending La Salle and in memory of Megan’s brother Steven. We also know that tuition does not cover all of the costs necessary to run the school and that additional financial support
is vital to the running of the school.

As an alum and the father of two sons who have
attended La Salle, my experiences with both the school
and the teachings of the Christian Brothers has been
a guiding influence throughout my life. La Salle and the
Christian Brothers welcome impressionable boys entering the
school as freshman and through their teachings and spiritual
guidance the boys are transformed into respectful young men
with well defined spiritual values and morals. The fraternity that
La Salle and the Christian Brothers nurture is one that lasts
a lifetime.

We sincerely believe that all our gifts to La Salle College High School are not donations like gifts to community organizations, police, firefighters,
even our local parish church for example. These gifts are clearly investments, the return on which is the educated and future leaders of the world, the students
we graduate every year. That investment is clearly targeted according to the school’s needs; we know how our investments will benefit that objective because we have
a clear and realistic vision of those needs. Our gifts, like all gifts, will benefit the present and future students, and continue the tradition of excellence achieved over
many decades. It will help provide a broad and balanced Christian education in the tradition of St John Baptist de La Salle, the Christian Brothers brand of education,
the brothers who become life-long friends and counselors to their students. There is an increasing attitude toward secularization in our country, and it is more important
than ever that we help our young people provide the defense against this attempt, and La Salle is the right place to learn how to do that. Irrespective of the amount of
our investment and gift to La Salle, we are confident that we will make a difference in the lives of the students.

Mike Stoughton ‘83 is one of those people willing to take a chance.
Leaving the corporate world behind. While so many people dream about it,
not many actually have the gumption to do it.
After working as a software developer for the majority of his adult life, the
43-year-old Medford resident decided he was going to
pursue his dream.
“My whole life I’ve been told ‘you have a great voice, you love
baseball…you’ve got to do something about it’,” said Stoughton.
“I figured, if I could get a job that pays me to go to baseball
games, that would be heaven.”
57 Explorer Fall 2009
Stoughton realized the jobs weren’t going to come to him, so he started
calling around to minor league teams to see if there were any opportunities
available. And after a year, nothing came of it.
But that didn’t stop him and with the 2009 season rolling around, he
continued his pursuit, this time at a job fair for the Lakewood BlueClaws,
the Single A affiliate for the Philadelphia Phillies.
“They weren’t looking for a PA announcer, but I figured let me take a
crack at it and maybe somebody would hear me and they’d like my voice.”
And that’s exactly what happened. Stoughton’s booming baritone voice
struck a chord with officials at the job fair and a few weeks later, he received
a phone call and a job offer. No audition, no formal interview. Just an
opportunity.
It turns out that the regular PA announcer for the BlueClaws, Kevin Clark,
wanted to scale back his schedule, leaving half the season available. It was
perfect timing for Stoughton.
The married father of three was offered 35 games, announcing batters,
starting lineups, pitching changes, promotions, special guests and more.
“It’s a tight show we put on, but we still manage to have a lot of fun,”
added Stoughton. “I knew this was going to be a blast, but I had no idea
just how much fun this would be.”
The PA announcing job field is not exactly a burgeoning one, but Stoughton
plans to keep pursuing his dream and hopes opportunities continue to arise.
A recent visit with Phillies iconic PA announcer Dan Baker only reinforced
Stoughton’s ambition.
“Consummate gentleman doesn’t even begin to describe him,” said
Stoughton.
“I jokingly told Dan that I aspire to replace you. He said ‘I’ve been doing it
for thirty-eight years and god willing I hope to do it another twelve to hit that
fifty mark.’”
And after just half a season and with no formal training, Stoughton said he
feels right at home in the booth and is ready to keep chasing the dream.
“It was surprisingly easy right out of the chute. I didn’t know if I would be
nervous, but it’s almost like there is no time for the nerves to get a hold of
you. Now, I’m really comfortable with it.”

experience, Kevin will pursue a career in technology consulting upon his graduation from Drexel. Kevin further stated, “Mr. Sigmund embodies the spirit of
the Harold W. Pote Award. He guided me to choose Drexel for its cooperative
learning experiences, prepared me for the challenges of a collegiate education, emphasized the importance of business principles, and continues to help
students to succeed in college and life.”
