From The Hip!
In my last writing, I alluded to a recent study of our development and and marketing programs.
Certain constituents questioned whether La Salle College High School is academically on par
with regional independent schools. While other schools tend to boast of their achievements, we
have taken a different approach and avoided ”grade inflation.” The fact is that our Lasallian
commitment to rigorous learning has resulted in countless academic achievements.
• Every year, over 20% of La Salle’s graduating class matriculates at one of the
top 50 colleges or universities in America. The Class of 2005 is en route to 89 different
colleges and universities
• The average SAT score (combined Verbal and Math) for La Salle students is 1204
(recent publications have not used current figures), with the top 30% of our students
having a combined SAT score of 1322
• The Class of 2005 earned documented scholarships and grants in excess of $15.2 million,
which helped to defray the rising costs of higher education
• La Salle offers 19 AP courses, which is more than any of the other independent schools,
and 84% of the 200 students who took the AP exam in 2005 scored 3 or better and
are eligible for college credit
• In the last three years, La Salle has produced 28 National Merit Semifinalists and
67 National Merit Commended Students
La Salle students are taught to face challenges and solve problems. More importantly, the mission
of La Salle College High School has at its core, a student body that is diverse.
• Socio-Economic (not just those who can afford to attend as over 35% of our
students receive financial aid)
• Geographic (last year’s graduating class represented 84 grade schools and 63 zip codes)
• Academic (not just the brightest and the best; rather, an academically diverse group
of students that discover an independence of thought and action that helps them
to accept responsibility for themselves and prepares them to take their place in the world)
La Salle students are accepted at and attend some of the finest colleges and universities. La Salle’s
College Counseling Center does not just place students; rather, builds a relationship with each
student and counsels them to make an informed decision based on interests, abilities, values,
and the financial needs of their family. La Salle students are well prepared for college –
academically, intellectually, and socially – and less than 4% of La Salle students transfer schools
once they begin their college career, which provides further evidence of the remarkable
efforts of our College Counseling Center in matching students with the best college or university
for their needs. I can assure you that La Salle is academically above par and our students are
the proof.
Misconceptions are often a result of miscommunication. Communication and education go
“hand in hand” as communication is the first step in educating constituents on the successes and
developments at La Salle College High School. One of the many goals of our new
marketing and development programs is to improve communication and send a message
that is clear, concise, and consistent.

Evolution…
…the Signature of La Salle College High School.
History
The coat-of-arms for the House of Salla was first displayed in the County of Urgel, in Catalonia, Spain, where the family patriarch,
Johan Salla, was the warrior chief of Alphonsus the Chaste, King of Oviedo. Together they expelled the Moors from Urgel. The
broken legs that Johan Salla sustained during combat as he fought side-by-side with his King are the origin of the broken chevrons
of gold on a field of azure (blue) in the Salla Family coat-of-arms. In the thirteenth century, the Salla Family migrated to the
Basque province in the south of France, and although their name became French (De La Salle), they retained “SALLA” as their
battle cry. The family later migrated to Rheims, France, the birthplace of St. John Baptist de La Salle.
The Signature of La Salle College High School
The signature of La Salle College High School is derived from the seal (or emblem), which is a fundamental identifier of the school.
At the center of the seal rests the crest (or coat-of-arms) of La Salle College High School. The top of the crest contains a battle
helmet representing the family of St. John Baptist de La Salle and their warrior heritage from Spain. The bottom features the Latin
motto Virtus Scientia, meaning Virtue and Knowledge, along with 1858, the year in which La Salle College High School was
founded by the Christian Brothers at St. Michael parish in North Philadelphia.
The center of the crest bears the quartered shield. The shield is divided by a cross, the core of all Christian symbols, and a
statement to the school’s adherence to Catholic values and traditions, which are embodied in the teachings of St. John Baptist de
La Salle, founder of the Christian Brothers. In the upper left hand corner is the star of faith of the Christian Brothers, which
signifies the faith the school seeks to foster in its students. The lower right hand corner holds a single fracted chevron. The fracted
(or broken) chevron has been used over the centuries by followers of St. John Baptist de La Salle to evoke his memory. The coat
of arms of the De La Salle Family portrays three such chevrons of gold on a field of blue.
The signature of La Salle College High School consists of a mark and typography. The mark is the quartered shield, which for
decades has remained in the forefront of Lasallian symbols. The typography features Bodoni BE Condensed, a serif font
that complements the mark. The signature retains the traditional La Salle colors of Blue and Gold, which stem from the original
coat-of-arms of the De La Salle Family.

The devastation in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast was
overwhelming. Almost no one in this area was unaffected
and over one million people are either homeless or
suffering from the terrible consequences of Hurricane
Katrina, including Lasallians, Brothers and partners, and
schools in the New Orleans area (New Orleans and
Santa Fe District).
The Fab Four – Members of the Class of 2009 on their
first day of school.
With 291 students, the Class of 2009 is the largest in the
history of La Salle College High School. The class began its
career at La Salle on Tuesday, September 6, 2005 by
planting a class tree and learning the school’s Alma Mater
from Marty Stanczak ’60, Dean of Students.
In solidarity with our Lasallians in the New Orleans area and
in an effort to provide assistance, the La Salle community
of students, parents, faculty, and staff held a collection in the
school from September 13 – 15, 2005. A total of $10,006.00
was raised and $10,000,00 was sent to the Christian Brothers
Conference specifically for hurricane relief for those in the
New Orleans area.
Two Christian Brothers’ schools, St. Paul’s High School in
Covington, LA and De La Salle High School in the Garden
District of New Orleans, sustained serious damage.
La Salle College High School reached out to these two
schools and offered to take as many as fifteen students to
finish all or part of their senior year at La Salle. The La Salle
community responded overwhelmingly to a request for "host
families" as over fifty families offered to take these boys into
their homes. Fortunately, both of the schools felt that they
could reopen their doors by November and most of the boys
expressed a strong desire to stay in the area and return
to school.

Alumni Association President’s Corner
At graduation practice this past June, I had the chance to ADDRESS the Class of 2005. They were obviously still caught up
in the excitement of what had been accomplished over their past year. With five league championships, scholarships totaling
$15.2 million, 8 National Merit Finalists, 24 National Merit Commended students, 87 members of the National Honor
Society, and various band awards, they were rightfully excited with their accomplishments.
I asked them to decide what their legacy would be. I suspect it’s difficult for them at this juncture to comprehend fully how much
more they have to offer as a class. As they walk out of the building following graduation, there can be a sense that one door is
closing as the next opens. While in certain respects this is true, what sets La Salle apart is the fact that the door never really closes.
While the accomplishments of the class of 2005 are great, it will only be the beginning of their legacy. Each class has its opportunity
to define and break down the barriers in which it will operate. Yes, in large part the accomplishments may be individual accolades.
But as a La Salle community, there will be the opportunities to cross class years, to continue to leave the mark of St. John Baptist
de La Salle. How we latch on to those opportunities is what makes our institution great.
La Salle College High School honors its students in many ways. The placards in the gym and trophy case testify, in part, to the
accomplishments of students during their four years at La Salle. The Hall of Fame gives recognition to alumni of La Salle. Admission
here is driven by what graduates have accomplished since their four years at La Salle. What is done with the tools and the fire
in the heart bestowed while at La Salle is really what drives our legacy; how our class is remembered. Looking at the Class of 1955,
the graduates of 2005 saw its members proudly participating in graduation. They also saw a class that moved beyond the
various trophies and championships seen in the gym and the trophy cases. Not only did they produce three Hall of Fame inductees,
but their service to the school and the community is possibly unmatched by any other class.
What would
our founder
think?
Forward by Joe Parisi
“Boys will be boys but La Salle boys will be gentlemen.” No doubt I was made to understand what this meant as the expectation
of my behavior during my four years at La Salle (having grown up around the Christian Brothers). But I then learned how this
expectation carries beyond that brief part of our lives. I’ve probably been reminded of this principle more since leaving La Salle than
during my tenure there. It encompasses not only the conduct once we “Enter to Learn”, but also once we “Leave to Serve”.
The call to service needs to start somewhere. I am honored to give my service to La Salle this coming year as President of your
Alumni Association. Being a “Brothers’ Boy” is more than having the diploma. It’s carrying on the principles of St. John Baptist
de La Salle in whatever small way we can. Be it by helping with our various Christmas projects, helping students to better
understand the opportunities ahead of them on Career Day, or honoring some of our exceptional graduates at our Communion
Breakfast and Hall of Fame induction. Our hope is to provide our alumni more opportunities to make a difference.
Taking this to heart, I’ll be sure to laugh often over this coming year. In our programs, I’ll take advantage of our opportunities to
earn the affection of young children (probably easier than the respect of intelligent people). I’ll listen to your criticism and learn
from it. I’ll continue to appreciate the beauty our school continues to march out its driveway.
We all have the opportunity to share in this endeavor. For those of us looking for ways to get started, supporting your
Alumni Association can be an integral part of that plan. The money we raise from our various events and even dues serve
to financially support sons and grandsons of alumni who otherwise might not be able to benefit from a fine La Salle
education. Come out to our events so I have a chance to laugh with you. It’s a small way to make a difference, and I bet
you’ll find that you’ll have fun and feel good about it in the process. Remember that aspiring to financially assist more
families of alumni is the worthwhile cause driving all of our efforts. May we all succeed together!!
Live Jesus in our hearts, forever.
The influence of John Baptist de La Salle upon the world of education was initially
felt with the establishment of his first school in 1679. Today, his impact on
education is much more profound as it is felt in over 900 schools in Africa, North and
South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. Nearly one million students all across
the world attend Lasallian institutions on a daily basis.
Gerard M. Lowery ’78
President
Initially, John Baptist de La Salle’s mission was to establish gratuitous schools for
children of workmen and the poor; teaching them reading, writing and arithmetic while
using the catechism to give these students an education with the purpose of forming
good Christians. He saw these schools as a response to the needs of his society –
the education of poor boys.
8 Explorer Autumn 2005
9 Explorer Autumn 2005
What Would Our Founder Think? (continued)
The primary focus of De La Salle and the group of men that
would become known as the Brothers of the Christian schools
was to establish gratuitous schools so that students could be
prepared for useful occupations. One of the more innovative
aspects of the first Lasallian schools was the use of the vernacular in instruction. This was in response to the obvious need of
those first students to be able to read and write in French in
order to gain employment.
Besides training his own teachers thoroughly, De La Salle
spent a part of his life training secular teachers throughout the
French countryside.
In 1705, De La Salle accepted the requests of a number of
wealthy families to open a Christian boarding school for their
children. This involved an enlargement of the curriculum to help
prepare these young men for their professional careers. These
schools remained gratuitous even though money was accepted
for food and lodging of the pupils. Four years later De La Salle
enlarged his first boarding facility in order to assume responsibility as well as care for young delinquents from wealthier
families. Rehabilitation was the ultimate goal for these young
men who could, if their conduct was deemed satisfactory,
join the other boarders.
In response to the needs of 19th Century France, the
Brothers made notable contributions to the development of
technical schools, schools of agriculture and schools of
design, which served localized needs.
How has De La Salle’s Philosophy evolved?
Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the
Brothers of the Christian Schools and its lay partners continue
De La Salle’s work through their commitment to the education
of young people, and in particular for the poor. They have
further defined the poor as lacking financially, spiritually or
socially. This relationship with the poor challenges all Lasallian
educators, even those who teach in institutions similar to
La Salle High School, to sensitize those students in their charge
to the plight of the poor and to challenge them to serve the
poor, the sick, and the aging. The Brothers and their lay partners have been active on behalf of refugees and immigrants.
They have opened orphanages and centers for young people in
trouble with the law. They have established centers for young
people who have learning differences. They have established
programs for young people and adults who have dropped out
of school. They currently run educational programs for street
children. Elementary schools such as La Salle Academy in
Kensington and the St. Miguel School in Camden are providing
many children who are living at or below the poverty level
with a Lasallian education at minimal or in many cases, no cost.
Today, the goal of Lasallian institutions worldwide,
whether serving the poor directly, or through the
affluent, remains the same:
“To work hard to awaken, in its students, a sense of meaning of their lives
as individuals. It should help the student develop a sense of autonomy
through personal reflection and the development of a critical spirit. The
student should be helped to think clearly, to express their personal opinions
and to seek out and to respect the truth. Students are taught to make use of
their freedoms, to overcome prejudices, ready made ideas and social
pressures. Lastly, students are encouraged to listen, to seek, to understand,
to trust others, to be ready to help others, to love, to respect, to contemplate:
all of this as an attempt to help the student to develop in the image
of God”.
The Lasallian Mission of Human and Christian Education –
A Shared Mission
What would
St. John Baptist de La Salle
think about the
David Program?
As quoted by a David Center student, “St. La Salle would like
the David Program because even though he was the promoter
of teaching a full classroom of students, he never lost sight
of the individual student’s needs. The David Program addresses
the individual learning styles of students so the role of
St. La Salle is continued.”
by John Keenan ’80
St. John Baptist de La Salle would say La Salle College High
School’s long tradition of educating and guiding young men of
various abilities and backgrounds in a challenging and nurturing
environment continues with the addition of The David Program.
The David Program continues La Salle's legacy of touching the
minds and hearts of students by providing adaptive study
strategies, and an understanding of academic strengths and
weaknesses to increase the students sense of self worth.
The David Program assists students with mild learning
differences and is housed in a building adjacent to the
Brothers’ Residence.
St. La Salle looked into the core of the individual. La Salle
was a hands-on teacher. He advocated the use of practical, easy
to implement teaching methods. He believed students should
be taught in their native language instead of Latin, as was
the custom.
The David Program continues to search for methods to meet
each student’s personal needs. Today, some students with
language processing difficulties use “Books on Tape” as they
read. Students are encouraged to use technology to
enhance their learning repertoire. By using appropriate
accommodations and adaptive strategies students become
aware of their invisible differences and are able to turn
their weaknesses into strengths.
St. La Salle listened to people, saw needs, felt compassion,
and prayed to the Spirit for guidance. He used every resource to
gain assistance. St. La Salle believed in the intellectual and
gentlemanly potential of boys of all classes and backgrounds.
He believed in the worth of each of these young men and used
insight and adaptability to find success. St. La Salle believed a
man should always be growing, maturing, and developing.
Through the David Program students learn that challenges can
be exciting and that if they focus and stay on course nothing is
beyond their capacity. The David Program strives to inspire,
affirm and empower young men to discover their God given
potential and to realize that life is an amazing journey. It is a
message that would make St. John Baptist de La Salle smile.
What Would Our Founder Think? (continued on next page)
Drawings of David Diehl ’55 and Brother David Albert, FSC,
two fixtures in counseling at La Salle, hang in the stairway
of the new David Center.
The David Program provides a daily class period for a selected
number of college bound students with a mild learning difference. Through a seriousness of purpose, consistent effort ,
understanding and acceptance of his individual learning
styles/strengths, and adapted strategies, a student with a learning difference can grow towards self-advocacy and academic
success. The addition of a specific time frame is a continuation
of the Lasallian effort to meet the specific needs of students.

What Would Our Founder Think? (continued)
What Would
St. John Baptist de La Salle
think about the Lacrosse
and Athletic Programs?
by Bill Leahy
Introduction
If the Founder were to visit La Salle College High School
and spend time watching the athletic program he would be
both proud and a tad puzzled. Confused in that organized
athletics were not an every day part of the schooling of young
men entrusted to his care in 17th century France. Plus, his
schools were for the “street urchins” of his day and were not
necessarily funded to support such extra-curricular activities.
Nevertheless, De La Salle understood, maybe better than
any educator of his day, the importance and significance of
teamwork. Therefore, after overcoming his initial curiosity
in regard to such sports as American football, baseball, and
Native American lacrosse he would see, I think, value in
such interpersonal activities – the teamwork they require, the
character they build, the sense of commitment and personal
responsibility that is needed, and of course the over-riding
mission to develop boys into men.
Introduction to La Salle Lacrosse Program
The lacrosse program, like so many of La Salle’s athletic teams,
has experienced its share of success on the field – 12
Philadelphia Catholic League Championships, 1 State
Championship, and hundreds of individual player recognitions
ranging from All-Catholics, to All-Americans, to Division I
Collegians. While success breeds winning and excellent public
relations, De La Salle would be more concerned with the
introspective side of such an endeavor. The Founder’s original
classrooms were the first school in the world to educate a
group of students (players) at the same time all learning from
the same teacher (coach) and attempting to reach a common
goal. What goals were they? Well the obvious – to educate
poor boys in academic subjects, but also to teach them
the importance of everyday manners and respect as well
as the importance of developing an interior spiritual life.
Academics
It would be obvious to La Salle that lacrosse is a game
which has the potential to offer the young man many life skills
and attributes, but that in the end it is still a game and is a
priority clearly second to the classroom.
Players’ grades are monitored, flexibility granted for academic
needs, tutoring arranged as needed, and study hall created for
extreme concerns. In fact, De La Salle might just be most
interested in the young men struggling to balance both
academics and athletics for in many ways these are the type
of young people he was most drawn to serving long ago.
Respect
The first non-academic attribute that would be pleasing to
the Founder would be the sense and attitude of respect that is
present throughout the program from coaches to players to
parents whether on the field, in the weight room, or the locker
room. Lacrosse, as played by the Native American Indians, was a
gift given by God to the birds and the animals and then to
humans. In its spiritual form it demanded that all contestants
be mentally and physically tough, that they use appropriate
language, that they never sit, but run on the field, and
that they end their contests with handshakes and a sense of
community. All of these attributes are present in today’s
La Salle Lacrosse program.
Competition & Teamwork
After academic responsibility, and a sense of respect for the
sport, the school, the players and coaches has been established,
De La Salle might then turn his attention to the game itself,
and to whether or not the group is working successfully to
attain its common goals.
The program’s success over the past 15 years has been
substantial, but underneath the headlines has been the sweaty
hours of field practice, countless film sessions, and demanding
visits to the weight room. This sense of commitment,
teamwork, and competition not only creates winning, but also
develops character through success and disappointment.
Together the young men and coaching staffs work toward
common personal and team goals, thus building a sense
of achievement, community, and purpose.
De La Salle would also be concerned about the competitiveness
of such a program, for nothing is perfect, and the nature of
competition is designed to create both a “winner” and a
“loser” and so I believe he would reluctantly comment in regard
to its intensity which ultimately leads to team selections which
then excludes those not chosen for the team experience. While
this may be providential and lead those not selected to other
successful endeavors it also creates sadness, feelings of
rejection, denial of actual talent levels. De La Salle might share
in the frustration of solving this dilemma because just adding
other teams is not an option due to limited field space, financial
restrictions, and availability of qualified coaches.
Toughness
Like most Saints, De La Salle had tough times! His schools
were threatened by jealous competitors, his financial backers
often disappeared, the students often were unruly and “rag
tag” so that classroom discipline was challenging. Eventually
these challenges, and many more, pushed the Founder to
an emotional breaking point where he had to decide between
ending his mission and seeing it through to the end regardless
of its outcome. For La Salle this meant committing himself
totally in what became known as the “heroic vale” – to fully
commit to his new enterprise by thus abandoning his personal
wealth and choosing to “live on bread alone” if necessary.
No one needs to remind him that life is difficult, and that we,
too, are driven to the point of every day frustration, set
backs, and hopelessness.
Athletics, and its sense of competition and immediate observable rewards/failures, can be a microcosm of this life lesson
and so La Salle would hear the lacrosse coaches consistently
express the importance of “finishing strong”…a drill, a practice,
a weight lift, a season, a test, a tough class, a school year, or
the rest of us a work day! It is one thing to be defeated on
the field by a better opponent, quite another to be outworked,
and it is unacceptable to quit, but each of these dims in
comparison to the larger failure of not growing in our life
mission to become men.
Spiritual Life & Community
Lacrosse may have more spiritual roots than any game in
America, and while French Jesuits may have given the Indian
game its name its ties to the spiritual life are almost
expected, thus the La Salle Lacrosse program has two
spiritual responsibilities.
First, to make sure the players understand and respect the
Native American game – its myths and legends and how it is
a gift from God, and second, to then implement our
Catholic heritage.
This is primarily accomplished through a common respect and
concern among the players, a season opening Mass, and a joint
Community service “Branch-Out Day” with La Salle’s Baseball
program to St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Germantown where
the players help prepare the parish fields and garden for
their summer camp children. The day ends with a joint cook-out
and sense of shared mission for others.
Conclusion
Ultimately, these experiences, intertwined with the joys of
winning and the agony of defeat help, create a sense of
community and belonging which hopefully empowers players,
coaches, and parents’ current friendships and, thus inspires
future endeavors. The entire lacrosse experience should
be fun! We all need to have fun because it brings out the
child in us and allows, as De La Salle so often said,
“for hearts to be touched”.

What Would Our Founder Think? (continued)
by Raymond Shay ’00
La Salle has complemented traditional means of curriculum
delivery with technology for years. Computer Labs and SMART
Boards have been two of the most visible academic technologies at La Salle. The new web site is just another example of
technology making a practical impact on the delivery
of course material.
St. John Baptist de La Salle was an educational pioneer. In late
17th Century France, most education was conducted in Latin.
De La Salle, however, thought that learning in Latin was impractical for the students in his schools. They could learn to read
and write more rapidly in their native language.
With students spending almost three hours a day on the
Internet, it has become an essential part of their culture and
communication skill set. As educators of the young, it makes
sense for us to communicate with our students through
the Web.
Thus, De La Salle instructed his teachers to teach in the
vernacular. As with so many of his educational innovations,
conducting lessons in the vernacular was very practical.
The practical value was quite evident and the practice of teaching in the native language of students has been so widely
adopted, it may hardly seem like such an innovation today.
The faculty at La Salle has responded to this new form of
communication with students and embraced the delivery
of course content via the Internet. With the new web site,
faculty members now have the ability to update course
web pages from anywhere they have Internet access making
communication reach beyond the confines of class
periods classrooms.
What would
St. John Baptist de La Salle
think of the Web Site?
In today’s world, the word innovation seems inextricably tied
to technology. Technology has become so much a part of
our lives – especially the lives of the young students we serve –
that it can be thought of as part of the native language.
I think St. John Baptist de La Salle would embrace the use
of technology in delivering curriculum, the same way he insisted
that the Brothers in his schools teach their young students in
the language they were used to.
Although always stressing that the relationship and
communication between teacher and student is at the heart
of the educational experience, De La Salle recognized the
need for a good administration and support services. Like a
good administrator, the web site is a support for teachers,
making it possible for them to use their gift to the fullest.
The web site is also a tool for the various constituencies
beyond teachers and students. Administrators, parents, alumni,
and coaches are some of the constituencies that are using
the web site to communicate with the La Salle College
High School Community. By strengthening the communication
with and between these constituencies, the web site is helping
to strengthen the supports that make the educational
experiences here possible. I think De La Salle would certainly
view the web site and the resulting communication as both
practical and necessary for the education of the youth we serve.
It is only fitting that we follow in De La Salle’s innovative
footsteps and embrace the new “vernacular”.

“Boys Will Be Boys, But La Salle Boys
Will Be
Gentlemen”
The timeless motto has returned
in the form of signs posted
in each classroom. New Principal,
Joe Marchese (right) with
Jack Meehan, Jr. ’67 who donated
the signs in memory of his father,
John F. “Jack” Meehan, Sr. ’38,
a member of La Salle’s Hall of Fame
and a true La Salle Gentleman.
The signs serve as a reminder and
challenge to the student body.
Over the years, we have all heard the age-old-adage at one
point or another: “Boys will be boys, but La Salle boys will be
gentlemen.” But what does this statement really mean?
What is it that makes La Salle boys gentlemen?
The answer is not uncomplicated. The community of La Salle
is held to a higher standard, starting as freshmen, continued for
a lifetime. The higher standard is not only maintained in the
classroom; rather, the merit of a true Explorer is sustained in his
ability to help others. La Salle men confer their dedication and
spirit to others through many outlets and functions, activating
their mission and bringing to life what they’ve acquired from
the benefit of a La Salle education. This is what makes our community so unique. A true Lasallian brings the words of the
prophet Luke to life, “Unto whomsoever much is given, of him
shall be much required.”
Our responsibilities are certainly substantial, but it is these
responsibilities that bring us all together and mold us into one
distinctive faction, the gentlemen of La Salle. The exceptional
nature and manner of the men of La Salle is derived from a
commitment to excel. The challenge to excel is presented to the
young men of La Salle from the start, a challenge that carries
on well after their tenure at the high school level is complete.
It is the ingrained aspiration for excellence that separates the
men of La Salle, it’s what makes our tradition all it has been and
all it will continue to be. We are taught never to be satisfied
and to always strive for perfection, for although perfection is
impossible, excellence is very much an attainable goal.
It is not by good luck or fortune that La Salle is able to develop
the young men of today into the gentlemen of the future,
and it is not an obligation looked upon lightly. Any school can
make the claim that they produce the best and the brightest,
but La Salle lives this through hardwork and dedication to
its mission. There is no such impressive a pride as Explorer Pride,
and this trait is undoubtedly the result of the gratitude and loyalty we all feel as gentlemen of La Salle to the Gold and Blue.
by Joseph Winning ’05
In September of 1956, I stepped off the “26” bus at 20th
Street and Olney Avenue and walked towards La Salle College
High School. I was not sure where to go, but I encountered
a Brother who was kind and patient with me. He directed me
to the auditorium. It was here that I met my first homeroom
teacher, Brother Gabriel.
Brother Gabriel was the first Brother who introduced the
concept of “Brother’s Boy”. He told our homeroom that a
“Brother’s Boy” is always a gentleman; he is always
respectful, because he represents his family and his school.
I finished my freshman year, and over time I slowly began to
understand what Brother Gabriel meant. My homeroom teachers over the final three years, Brother James, Brother Claude,
and Brother Gregory all reinforced the concept of “Brother’s
Boy”. They taught me that hard work, dedication and loyalty
were all important to making a complete La Salle Student.
I was fortunate to continue my association with the Brothers.
I went to La Salle College and then on to West Catholic
(a Brother’s school) where I began my teaching career. It was
a comfort to me when I walked into a Brother’s school and
experienced the same concepts being taught to the young men
at West Catholic. After West Catholic, I came to La Salle.
I was back at home.
For the past 38 years I have tried to influence young men
by being respectful and remembering that a “Brother’s Boy is
always a gentleman. As I told the freshman class this year,
we have something in common – We are all “Brother’s Boys”.
I’m proud to belong to this wonderful fraternity. I will
always remember – “Boys will be boys, but La Salle Boys
will be gentleman.”

William Knecht ’47:
Golden Explorer
Hall of Famer
By Christopher Holwick ’94
William Knecht ’47, a Philadelphia rowing legend, began
his rowing career at La Salle College High School under the eye
of Coach John B. Kelly, Sr. Kelly had a fondness for Knecht
who was one of Vesper Boat Club’s promising young stars.
Knecht was a national champion in the single in both his junior
and senior years at La Salle; victories that proved to be only
the beginning.
After graduating La Salle in 1947, Bill went on to study at
Villanova University and continued to train at Vesper B.C. He
quickly rose to elite status and as a young man stroked Vesper’s
eight to victory at the 1954 Pan-American Games. Eventually,
Knecht would become John B. Kelly, Jr.’s training partner and
would battle daily with him in the singles. Kelly and Knecht
eventually joined forces and rowed the men’s double for the
United States in the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Unfortunately,
they had to withdraw from competition due to sudden illness.
Kelly and Knecht continued to train in the double and were
victorious together at the 1959 Pan-Am Games. Knecht also
won in the men’s double at the 1963 Pan-Am Games
for Vesper B.C., which became the third of three consecutive
Pan-Am victories.
Left to right: Coach Allen Rosenberg,
Bob Zimonyi, Boyce Budd, Bill Knecht
and Bill Stowe receiving awards
from Pfizer after returning to the
United States.
Knecht’s greatest accomplishment
as an oarsman is his victory
in the 1964 Olympic Games in
Tokyo. Bill sat in seven seat
of the Vesper eight that represented the United States. The Germans,
who took the silver medal in the
race, were over one and onequarter boat lengths behind the
Americans. The United States was
not victorious in the men’s eight
again until 2004, forty years later.
Because of his victory at the 1964 Olympics, Knecht was
inducted into the Rowing Hall of Fame in Mystic Seaport,
Connecticut, in 1965. Bill still remains as the only La Salle
College High School alumnus to have won a gold medal at
the Olympics.
Although Knecht retired from competitive rowing after the
1964 Olympics, he continued to be a large presence in the sport
of rowing. He served on the boards of numerous rowing associations and was the American delegate to FISA, the international
governing body of rowing. Knecht was also instrumental in
the development of the Cooper River race course, which is host
to scholastic and collegiate championship regattas.
Because of his lifetime of support of rowing, Bill has been
the recipient of several prestigious awards. In 1973, Knecht
was awarded the John J. Carlin Award, which is given by the
United States Rowing Association’s Board of Directors
for commitment to the sport. The award has had only sixteen
recipients in the past thirty years. Knecht was awarded the
Jack Franklin Award in 1993, which is given by the USRA’s
Referee Commission for lifetime contributions to rowing. Finally,
Villanova University, Knecht’s alma mater, hosts a memorial
regatta in Bill’s name. The regatta draws over a thousand
collegiate athletes each April and the Knecht Cup is awarded
to the winner in the men’s eight event.
Knecht was as successful in business as he was in racing.
While the Kellys were known for brickwork, Knecht was known
for sheet metal. Bill owned and operated a million dollar
sheet metal contracting business. He also served as president of
the Sheet Metal Workers Union. Being the father of eight, Bill
was able to balance his commitments to work, rowing, and
family. He was known to enjoy the simpler things such as wine
and vanilla ice cream after a long day of work.
In his book, All Together, Bill Stowe, stroke seat of the ’64
Vesper eight, writes, “It was impossible to dislike Bill Knecht.
He was simply a very good man as we measured him. He was
the senior man and we all respected him greatly” (p.18).
Bill succumbed to cancer at an early age and was interred with
his Olympic medal around his neck. Bill Knecht is the
first La Salle College High School alumnus to win an Olympic
gold medal and will be inducted posthumously into the
Alumni Hall of Fame during the Golden Explorers Luncheon,
which will take place on October 5, 2005. The induction
will celebrate Bill Knecht, a true Golden Explorer.

Letter from the President
Dear Alums and Friends of La Salle,
Once again you have been amazingly supportive of La Salle and its efforts to provide both an affordable and quality education
for the more than 1000 young men who call this their school. As you can imagine without your generous support much of what is
provided would not be available to our students. For this the administration, faculty and students of La Salle Thank You!
Since arriving at La Salle it has been my pleasure to investigate and discover all the good that is here. From technologically
advanced classrooms to excellent athletic facilities our young men are afforded the opportunity to excel at their God-given abilities.
I am very pleased that our staff also benefits from your support through programs of continuing education and excellent
classroom technology.
Annual Giving
2004 – 2005
I point with pride to two programs that have been nationally recognized in recent months. Our outstanding music program
with almost 40% of the students participating is the envy of many schools. Under the leadership of Mr. Joe Ciccimaro ’57, this
program has grown from band to a many-phased music program. Our Jazz Band under the leadership of Mr. Joe Vettori
has traditionally been recognized as one of the best in the Delaware Valley. One of the best elements of this program is its
flexibility by incorporating the talents of many students who also play key roles in our sports, theater and activity programs.
Our nationally recognized Community TechServe Program benefits not only our
students but also other students. This summer our boys traveled to Bishop Loughlin
Memorial High School in Brooklyn, NY, De La Salle In Towne, La Salle Academy, and Young
Scholars Charter School in Philadelphia to help wire and enhance computer services to
these schools. It is a great example of kids helping other kids. Also the sense of pride
among our students as a result of this national recognition only enhances interest in
similar programming for future years. I am especially proud of Jim Edelen ’01
who returned to La Salle this summer to offer our Lab students his expertise in
Microsoft network maintenance and management. These programs are
directed by Mrs. Gerri Light, Mr. Ray Shay ’00, and Mr. Peter Sigmund ’85.
As your new president, I congratulate you on making possible so much
of these advances for La Salle. You can join me in celebrating all
that La Salle has become. I thank you for your past support and I need
your continued help to build an even greater legacy for the future.
Please review this Annual Fund Report for 2004/2005 and be sure to
include yourself in the next reporting if you haven’t done so yet. This year’s
fund is now in full swing and will need your support if it is to again
achieve its set goal.
It’s good to be home!
Gratefully yours,

Five decades of alumni returned to their alma mater for Career Day
in March. Alumni interested in sharing their educational and work
experience with current La Salle students should contact the Alumni
Ofice at (215) 223-2350 or [email protected]. Career Day is scheduled
for Thursday, March 9, 2006. In an attempt to ensure that students
do not hear the same presentation in successive years, the
Alumni Association is attempting to develop a rotation of speakers
who participate every other year (or every third year).

The Children’s
Champion
Anthony Limberakis ’05 assisted in the transformation
of Bustleton Radiology into a digital filmless radiology
practice. He is attending Drexel University and majoring
in Information Technology.
Frank’s motivations for a career in child advocacy are deeply
rooted in a lifelong passion for community service, recognition
of a civic need, and a willingness to step forward and lead.
Much of his time these days is devoted to awakening a similar
consciousness for civic duty in other leaders—attorneys and
business professionals—to attract their valuable talent and
needed support.
Among his many responsibilities at Child Advocates, Frank
and his colleagues recruit, train and supervise volunteer
attorneys—more than 3,000 attorneys since assuming leadership of the program in 1992. Frank also helped to launch the
Montgomery County Child Advocacy Project (MCAP), promote
the creation of internal pro bono programs within law firms
across the city, and coordinate the National Children’s Law
Network, a support resource for public and private child
advocacy programs nationwide.
“Child advocacy cases provide an opportunity to utilize a wide
range of skills possessed by all attorneys, whether their practices
involve litigation or are transactional in nature,” wrote Frank in
a recent article published in The Legal Intelligencer.
Indeed, volunteer attorneys from many practice areas, including
intellectual property, real estate, business and finance, and
litigation quickly acclimate and make valuable contributions to
child advocacy case loads, donating two to 10 hours per month.
Volunteer attorneys do not have to be litigators. “Much of
our work at Child Advocates is convincing someone to do
something—what attorneys and successful businesspeople
already do,” explains Frank, noting that Lee Schwartzberg
is a business attorney.
He emphasizes how his finely tuned moral compass found its
direction at La Salle College High School. “The Christian
Brothers’ historical mission and commitment to put themselves
in the presence of the poor always appealed to me,” says Frank.
He participated in the Community Service Corps at La Salle.
Those experiences “taught us that there are needs beyond our
own,” says Frank.
Through Joe Colistra at La Salle, Frank developed an interest
in American History, which became his major at Penn.
He graduated cum laude with an American History Honors
Award. Frank went on to earn his law degree and the Wenk
Community Legal Services Award at Villanova University
School of Law.
Throughout his higher education, Frank remained connected
and very much interested in the work of the Christian Brothers
Community. Upon his graduation from La Salle High, Brothers
Gene Graham and Lewis Mullen invited Frank into the
Community’s Aspiring Program. Six years later, in 1981, he
received the Habit of the Brothers and moved into Community
at Jeremy House in Mt. Airy. His ministry focused mostly on
service to juvenile offenders in the Saint Gabriel’s System.
Frank left the Christian Brothers in 1989 and applied his
Christian Brothers values to legal services advocacy. Positions
with the Delaware County Legal Assistance Association and as
Adjunct Clinical Professor at Villanova University School of
Law preceded his now 15-year tenure at Child Advocates.
Frank’s many professional affiliations, publications on advocacy
topics, and litany of awards, including 2004 and 2005 Super
Lawyer recognition by Philadelphia Magazine, only begin to
reveal his secular fulfillment of the Christian Brothers mission.
“I loved life as a Brother,” reflects Frank. “I respect that
experience and continue to stay in touch with the Community.
The lessons learned about the value of human interdependency
changed my life.” We should all be proud that through Frank
and other La Salle alumni answering his call, many needy
children’s lives are being changed as well.To learn more about

Pat good health and best wishes in her future endeavors.
