Mission Statement
St. Anselm’s Abbey School seeks to promote the spiritual, personal and intellectual development of young men with demonstrated academic achievement. Our school, serving grades six through twelve, with its roots in the values of the Christian gospel and Catholic tradition, strives to create a community built on respect for truth, love of learning, regard for human dignity and tolerance. We pursue this goal by leading our students through a challenging and balanced program of study in the arts, sciences and theology that gives them a solid preparation for the demands of college. By living and promoting the Benedictine spirit, we strive within our school to create an atmosphere of peace, a sense of service to community and a willingness within our students to work toward a balance in mind, body and spirit. 2009–2010 Board of Trustees

ratitude is an expression of thanks we have always felt towards our benefactors. With your support and generosity, St. Anselm’s Abbey School continues to be the caring, close-knit educational community that our founders, the Benedictine monks, hoped to establish 68 years ago. We see this gratitude and many other expressions every day at St. Anselm’s. A teacher willingly spending time with a student after class to help with a mathematical equation; classmates high-fiving each other after a victory; a new student being mentored by a ‘big brother’; the President laughing and talking with the boys; the Headmaster congratulating the students on awards received; faculty and parents sharing a few words regarding their son; former classmates greeting each other after years of separation; the wide smiles beaming from the Sixth Formers as they firmly grip their diplomas on Graduation Day. The expressions are as endless as your good will and are the happy result of your generosity. Sometimes the manner in which these feelings are conveyed can make a lasting impression. Hence, we have decided on a more visual presentation for the 2009–2010 Annual Report. After all, the old adage does say that a picture is worth a thousand words. Throughout this Report we have attempted to display through photographs the spirit of St. Anselm’s as it is “expressed” each day. As you peruse the pages, think about that warm embrace, the firm handshake, the smile, and the tears: all are ways we can see St. Anselm’s Abbey School and the community it engenders. Enjoy.

President’s Message
O Lord, my God, I am clouded by my own smallness and overwhelmed by your immensity; I am restricted by my own narrowness and mastered by your wideness. How great is that light from which shines out every truth that lightens the reasoning mind! How wide is that truth in which is everything that is true, and outside of which is nothingness and falsehood! Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)
Dear Parents, Alumni, Benefactors, and Friends, As I write this introduction to the Annual Report, I am overwhelmed by my own smallness and by the immensity of what has happened this past year. Our Headmaster, Mr. Louis Silvano, will fill you in on the School side of things: students, faculty, the rigors of academic life and the maze of activities. As President, I have been focusing my time on maintaining the School’s Benedictine charism, on public relations, alumni affairs, long-range planning, fundraising, working with our Board of Trustees and with the directors of the School’s Donor Trust. The 2009–2010 academic year began with the usual hustle and bustle of activities: an alumni-sponsored Career Day, September 21st; Fall Scholarship Gala, October 17th, honoring all the monks; an Alumni Gathering in Cambridge, Mass., at the home of Nick Kilmer, ’58, October 24th; the Damian Crane, ’55, Pool Tournament, October 28th; the annual Memorial Mass and Alumni-Varsity Basketball Game on November 28th; and our first Form VII Forever reception for past parents, December 11th. Each of these events was impressive, renewing acquaintances and friendships by bringing alumni, parents, and students together. And I am pleased to report that the Gala netted slightly over $168,000 for scholarship aid for needy students. On January 4th, a new Director of Development, Mrs. Valerie Brown, joined my staff with dual responsibility for both the Abbey and the School. She immediately began work on the Annual Fund and on a Feasibility Study concerning future directions for the Abbey and School. The reader can find more information about Mrs. Brown and her work in the spring 2010 issue of the Corbie Chronicle. Our 2010 activities included: an Alumni Gathering in New York at the Harvard Club, January 14th; Harvard Model United Nations Conference, January 27th-31st, sponsored by Richard Stafford, ’53; Alumni Scholarship Phonathon on several evenings in February; a Form VII Forever Mass and Brunch for past parents, March 21st; the All-Alumni Reunion Weekend on April 23rd-25th with 10 members of the Class of 1960 receiving their Gold Medals; a Baccalaureate Mass and dinner for the Class of 2010 and their parents on May 22nd, which was followed by the Vespers of Graduation on May 29th, when 32 young men received their diplomas; and the 17th Annual Golf Outing on June 7th, sponsored by the Alumni Association, ending this year’s major activities. Perhaps a fitting end for this hustle and bustle is to be able to report that the School has been able to operate “in the black” for the nineteenth consecutive year thanks in large part to all our benefactors, donors, alumni, and friends. Even in a challenging economy, the School was able to increase its Annual Fund contributions and find new donors for our Named Scholarship program. The School is deeply indebted to the many generous foundations and individual donors listed in this publication. On behalf of the monks and the whole school community, I offer our sincerest gratitude. I want to personally thank Mr. William Fennell, ’66, for his tireless work over the past year as Chairman of our Board of Trustees. I am very grateful to all our Trustees for their many, many hours of service to the School, and I especially want to thank Mr. Richard Willett, who served as chair of the finance committee, and to Mr. Matthew Nolan, ’76, who chaired the legal committee. Both of these men served continuously for many years on the Board of Advisors, and for the past three years on the Board of Trustees. The School would not be where it is today without the wisdom, expertise, and friendship of these men. Thank you. I also wish to thank Prior Simon, all the monks, and the entire faculty for their dedication and hard work during the past year. And of course, I want to thank my staff in the President’s Office: Mrs. Valerie Brown, Director of Development and Ms. Michelle Kannan, Development Associate; Mr. Lawrence Hamm, ’68, Director of Alumni Affairs; Mr. James Leathers, ’04, Director of Communications; as well as our Business Office personnel, Mrs. Ieva Young and Mr. Mark Commins, for their never-ending work. The School is also indebted to Mr. Awenate Cobbina, ’98, President of the Alumni Association, and to all those who serve on the Alumni Board, a real work of loyalty and love. From all of the Alumni Association events, the School received a check for $30,000 at the Annual Golf Outing on June 7th. The School is blessed to have such devoted alumni. I am pleased to report that last summer, I held Regional Alumni Gatherings in Portland, Seattle, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Chicago, and Milwaukee. This summer I have planned meetings in Las Vegas, San Diego, Chicago, Milwaukee, Reno, San Francisco, and Portland. So, on and on the miracle of St. Anselm’s Abbey School continues in what has truly been another successful and busy year. Thank you again for your support, enthusiasm, prayers, and gifts. Pax in Sapientia, Fr. Peter Weigand, OSB President
Reflections from the Headmaster Dear Friends, At the conclusion of my second year as Headmaster of St. Anselm’s Abbey School, I want to share some reflections on the Class of 2010. Students were accepted at a wide range of colleges and universities, including Harvard, Princeton, Brown, and Cornell. The graduates have chosen to attend an impressive array of colleges that reflects the diversity of this class. However, often the students made their decisions based upon the best financial package they received. To illustrate this point, we have posted the list of college acceptances on our website. It is noteworthy that out of 32 graduates, there are two National Merit Scholars, one Semifinalist and eight Commended Scholars, and three students will be attending military academies. We held a memorable Vespers of Graduation for the Class of 2010 on May 31. At St. Anselm’s our mission is to support the development of the mind, body and spirit. This is clearly evident among the students of this graduating class, whose spiritual development I witnessed during their junior and senior years. After walking the Prayer Labyrinth, students in my religion class wrote reflections that they allowed me to share at their graduation service.
Headmaster Louis Silvano addresses the Class of 2010 at their Vespers of Graduation on May 31.
One student wrote: “Walking the Labyrinth is in many ways like living life. You don’t really know the way or how it will end, but you trust that the path before you is right, and no matter how many twists and turns, you will eventually reach your destination. The joy of life is in the journey, and you should be able to accept the twists and turns no matter how daunting they may be. The Labyrinth taught me that faith is not easy, but ever so necessary. At a certain point, one must just keep on going, and put everything in God’s hands.” As part of our ongoing Strategic Planning process, we have hired a consultant to conduct a Perception Audit to learn more about the school’s reputation among families in the independent school market. This information will help inform the development of our strategic plan and guide our marketing initiatives. A complete report will be presented to the Board of Trustees in the fall of 2010. It is with mixed emotions that we say goodbye to the following members of the faculty. We thank each of them for their dedication and service to the school and we wish them well in their new endeavors. Mrs. Najla Abuasali has been teaching Arabic for the past two years and has developed a strong program during that short time. Mr. Raul Yepez joined us last year as a religion and computer teacher and as assistant track and field coach. Also, he helped oversee the community service program and was a leader on the Kairos retreat. Mrs. Jane Brinley is leaving after twelve years teaching Latin. Her many contributions include chairing the language department and chaperoning international trips for students. Mrs. Brinley has accepted a teaching position at the School Without Walls. 4 2009–2010 Annual Report
I congratulate Mr. William Lippe on his appointment as Headmaster of St. Michael the Archangel High School in Fredericksburg, Va. Mr. Lippe has been a member of the faculty for eight years, the last three of which he served as Head of the Middle School. In addition to leading a strong Middle School program, Mr. Lippe was chair of the Religion Department. I am delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Thomas Mehigan as the new Middle School Head. Mr. Mehigan is an experienced educator and administrator who is deeply committed to classical Benedictine education. He is very familiar with the program at St. Anselm’s as his son Aidan, Form V, has attended our school since Form A. Mr. Mehigan and his wife, Mary, have four children and they live in McLean, Va. We are indeed fortunate that Mr. Mehigan is available at this time as he is an excellent choice for St. Anselm's. He was formerly the founding Headmaster of Pope John Paul II Academy in La Plata, Md., which has recently closed. He attended Conception Seminary College, Mo. and has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Illinois Wesleyan University; a Master of Science in Special Education from Hunter College, City University of New York; and a Middle School Principal Certification from George Mason University. He also is a candidate for Master of Arts in Liberal Studies: Classical Civilizations at Georgetown University. I am deeply grateful to our President, Fr. Peter Weigand, and to Mr. William Fennell, ’66, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, for their support throughout the year. I wish to thank two trustees who are leaving the Board: Mr. Richard Willett for his stalwart leadership of the finance committee; and Mr. Matthew Nolan, ’76, for his advice and guidance as Board Counsel and in particular for his development of the School’s by-laws. Finally, I am grateful to all of our Trustees, faculty and staff, alumni, parents and members of the monastic community for their ongoing support. Pax in Sapientia,
Louis Silvano Headmaster

5 St. Anselm’s Abbey School
Chairman’s Report Dear Parents, Faculty and Staff, Alumni and Friends of St. Anselm’s Abbey School: This past year the Board of Trustees has focused on its ongoing governance functions, the creation of Board infrastructure to support those functions, and the improvement of development efforts within the School and among the greater St. Anselm’s community. At the end of the 2008-2009 academic year, a private consultant, Ms. Anne Seltzer, was commissioned to perform an audit of the Development Office at St. Anselm’s. Ms. Seltzer worked in this area for many years at the Peddie School and more recently has worked as a consultant to private secondary schools. Last September, at our first Board meeting, Ms. Seltzer presented the Board with a copy of her report and spoke to us about her findings. The Board and School have worked together during the past year to implement a number of her recommendations. Most notably, the School has hired a Director of Development, Valerie Brown, to support Fr. Peter’s work as President of the School. The Board welcomed Mr. Christopher E. Davitt, Mr. Stephen B. Kinnaird, ’80, and Mr. James E. Boland, Jr., ’67, as new Trustees in September. During the year, the Board established Development and Trustee Nominating Committees. I am very thankful that Mr. Tom Borger (Chairman Emeritus of the Board) agreed to head the former, and Mr. Morgan O’Brien, ’62, the latter. The Board bade farewell to two of its members at the end of the year as their terms expired, Mr. Richard Willett and Mr. Matthew Nolan, ‘76. Mr. Willett has served in numerous leadership capacities for the School, most prominently as a founding Trustee and long-time Chair of the Finance Committees of the Board of Trustees of St. Anselm’s Abbey School, Inc. and its predecessor, the Board of Advisors. Mr. Willett contributed hundreds of hours of pro bono professional advice, guiding the School through major financial issues, strengthening its financial foundation and always encouraging the adoption of sensible policies and practices. Mr. Matthew Nolan has also served the School in numerous capacities, including as a member of the Board of Advisors and as President of the St. Anselm’s Alumni Association before becoming a Trustee. He also devoted innumerable hours to the drafting of the Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and Lease of St. Anselm’s Abbey School, Inc. and the documents establishing its Donor Trust. In the coming year, the Board and the School will complete work on a strategic plan that will identify the ways in which we may ensure the continuation of the Benedictine spirit within the School, academic excellence, enhanced financial resources (including an increased endowment and scholarship resources), an appropriate student body size and a broader awareness in the Washington area of what the School has to offer. At the end of the year, I addressed the graduating seniors following their Baccalaureate Mass. I congratulated them on their success to date in running the race set before them. I also noted how blessed they were to have parents who valued education to such a degree that they had devoted their resources, many at significant sacrifice, to send them to St. Anselm’s. Throughout the year, so many of you have contributed resources—personal, spiritual, and material—to the sustaining and continuation of St. Anselm’s Abbey School. I, and all of the other Board Members, thank you. Sincerely,
William A. Fennell, ’66 Chairman of the Board of Trustees 6 2009–2010 Annual Report

2010 Vespers of Graduation Commencement Address Mr. Christian Barry, ’85 Prior Simon, Fr. Peter, Mr. Silvano, Fr. Michael, Abbot Aidan, monks of St. Anselm’s Abbey, family, faculty, friends and, most of all, the Class of 2010: It is an honor to be here today, addressing you. If the history of commencement addresses is any indicator, the world will little note nor recollect what is said here today. Some might find this comforting, but it does little to diminish the pressure that I feel to be worthy of Fr. Peter’s trust in me as commencement speaker. So, I’ll do as the Navy handbook advises in situations like this, and just keep it simple. Allow me to share with you today my perspective on tradition, and the very special St. Anselm’s commitment to balance in body, mind and spirit. My words come from a heart and mind shaped profoundly by my St. Anselm’s experience years ago. I have always felt at home here, at this school, on these grounds, in the presence of the Abbey up atop the hill. The drive up the entrance from South Dakota Avenue seems no different than when I graduated 25 years ago with a class of 24 students, and the memories of fresh-cut grass, Fr. Aidan’s French tutorials, Fr. Peter’s duck pond, Fr. Michael’s dry wit, Fr. Thomas’s emphatic “Read the book, man”, backstage butterflies before the spring musical and Wednesday-night debates on the merits of President Reagan’s nuclear deterrence strategy are still vivid. The memories, the continuity and the stability of St. Anselm’s Abbey School are a blessing for its alumni, who find that they really can come back here and be home again.
it and work at it, constantly. Each element is important in the search for truth. Allow me a few stories. The notion of working hard is something that I came to grips with through high-school running. St. Anselm’s didn’t have a cross-country or track team my first year. The closest thing was a “Marathon Club,” and its membership was inversely proportional to the length of training runs. I do vividly remember the all-school St. Benedict’s Day during Third Form: a Mass in the old auditorium, the reading from Saint Paul and his exhortation “Run so as to win,” half the school poised at the starting line, then bursting around the field, down the hill, up the hill, three laps around the school, and finally soda and ice cream. I was not an elite athlete, but I liked the purity and democracy of running—you got out of it what you put into it. Sensing burgeoning enthusiasm for running, Fr. Edmund would drive me and several other Abbey Boys to 10K races in the area. The seeds were planted. By Fifth Form, we had our first St. Anselm’s cross country team and a core group of runners. Training for the Marine Corps marathon required no fancy track or any high-tech equipment. Just commitment and mental toughness, nurtured by Fr. Edmund who would sometimes drive all the way across D.C. to help get me to races. Years later, I’m now back into running and rediscovering both the labors and mysterious joys of marathon training. As the song goes, we are all born to run. And to work. Labora…
Walking through the double doors of the upper school is to walk into a tradition. Now, some people may put labels on tradition as stodgy, or as unimaginative, or as a crutch. I’ve never felt this way. There is freedom to be found in tradition, in the structure that it provides, in the wisdom accumulated through past generations of humanity who have grappled with many of the same questions and challenges that we face today. This is not to say that tradition is easy. You have to face up to the good and bad of a past that you may have had nothing to do with. You have to regenerate enthusiasm everyday, lest the tradition fade away with a generation that never connected to it. I feel lucky to be associated with several traditions that have withstood the tests of the centuries: Thomas Edison’s 120-year-old company called General Electric, John Paul Jones’s 235-year-old U.S. Navy and Saint Benedict’s 1,500-year-old Rule, which has grounded your education here. You and I are now joined as alumni in this latter tradition, thanks to parents who sacrificed to make it possible. Achieving some balance of body, spirit, and mind: this is the lasting impact of the St. Anselm’s experience. The world doesn’t lead you to this balance; you have to find 8
2009–2010 Annual Report
Things of the spirit are harder to articulate, as spiritual journeys are never simple. The saints in Fr. Abbot’s Christian Mysticism class always fascinated me, not for their perfection, but for their doubt, their questioning, their dogged pursuit of heaven. They were human. Graduates: you and I have been given a great blessing in our spiritual lives, to witness the example of the monks at this Abbey. Fr. Aidan’s kindness, Fr. Michael’s tolerance, Fr. Peter’s mentorship…these things, in the framework of the Benedictine Rule, provide an atmosphere of respect, reverence, repentance and daily renewal. This spirit goes with you when you leave, and wants to be nurtured. I feel blessed to have the fertile ground of my current parish in Wisconsin, which has helped me nurture my own spiritual seeds and put my Catholic faith into practice. Over the years, I’ve been able to attend Mass all over the world: in India, Japan, China, France, Spain, Germany and Central America. No matter what the local language or culture, I always feel as if I’m among friends, all imperfect and struggling with life’s challenges. What an incredible concept. I am thankful that Washington, D.C., this dynamic and influential capital city, has St. Anselm’s Abbey atop its Northeast hill as a place of stability, wisdom and prayer. We all need this spiritual beacon. Ora…
You come from a school that not everyone can join. As Fr. Peter has so insightfully written, Saint Benedict believed in the dual concepts of eliteness and fraternity. I have personal experience with this. I was not admitted to St. Anselm’s on my first attempt, and I may never have attended this school if not for my persistent dad and a headmaster willing to take a chance on me. Today, I am humbled to be part of a fraternity of classmates who have gone on to become doctors, Navy SEALs, lawyers, educators, Marines, writers, scientists, submariners, builders and other leaders in their fields. Commitment to excellence is a good thing for the world. Your education and intellectual gifts come with a responsibility to serve. And when you do so, you give others permission to do the same. Pax in Sapientia…
While body and spirit are important parts of your St. Anselm’s experience, it is in formation of the mind that this school leaves a particularly distinctive mark. As you well know, making it through this school in not easy. You will always appreciate the opportunity that you had here to ask the hardest questions without fear, to seek truth wherever it might be found. Truth reveals itself in sometimes surprising and creative ways everyday. In my field of healthcare, new diagnostic imaging technologies like magnetic resonance imaging allow us to better visualize the human brain, gaining new perspectives on the mechanics of thought, emotion and consciousness. These discoveries inevitably prompt fresh debates on science and religion, often framed by the popular media as opposing forces. Count me among those who find truth in both, as time unfolds truth that already is.
In 25 years, one of you graduating seniors will come up here and you’ll address the Class of 2035. What will you talk about? I look forward to finding out. You’ll live in a more global economy. Healthcare will look very different. The world will seem less black and white than it appeared while you were here, and you may find right and wrong harder to separate. Your view of this school will change, as your life’s experience gives you new appreciation for the School’s motto, Pax in Sapientia, and Saint Benedict’s Ora et Labora. You’ll have a perspective galvanized by years of professional experience and tempered by the personal development that comes with roles like husband, father, coach or maybe priest. Some of you may be lucky enough to discover that a favorite monk will emerge as a great mentor and friend. Through it all, you’ll have this experience to ground you. As my mother says, life is full of ups and downs, hellos and goodbyes, endings and beginnings. “Rursus incipiemus nunc et semper.” Everyday, we begin again, renewed in body, mind and spirit. Enjoy the journey. And when you stumble or fall, which you will, you’ll just as assuredly stand up again with the confidence that your parents and this Abbey School high atop the hill have given each of you. That is enough to give all of us faith in the future.
Yes, you are special for your St. Anselm’s education. As you head off to college in a few months, you will undoubtedly find a few peers who are smarter than you are. Humility is a good thing. You’ll also find many, many classmates who did not receive the same education that you had here. And that will make you different. Let this be a positive. I offer some words from Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inauguration speech, words I’ve kept in my wallet for a long time. “You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking So that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people Permission to do the same.”
St. Anselm’s Class of 2010, congratulations and Godspeed! 9
St. Anselm’s Abbey School
Saint Anselm of Canterbury Award Dionysios Koroulakis, ’10 graduating class? In all honesty, in many ways, probably yes. Our class responded to the high standard of education with hard work and excellence in academia, and our class responded to the call to be well-rounded young men by achieving successes in sports, after-school clubs and faithful community service. But having been here these last four years and getting to really, really, know this class, I’ve noticed the individuality of each of my classmates and the unique personality of this group of seniors. Not only does this class desire to excel in all things, but it wants to take things too far—for the better, that is! An example is this year’s Thanksgiving food drive, where a group of three crazy Alban House seniors donated $300 of their own money to buy enough cans to barely beat Austin House in the charity competition, the only time Alban won anything all year! This motivation to be excessive led to a record-breaking collection of cans six times greater than any year on record. Austin House, however, sought revenge, and with the help of the Austin House Band and a great group effort, barely pulled the upset over Alban in the Christmas clothing drive. This second instance of charity, instituted and led by the example of the whole senior class, collected a total of 2,500 articles of clothing that were donated to the needy at Central Union Mission. The fruits of the collective efforts of this senior class culminated in Prom 2010 at the Key Bridge Marriot. This success, however, was very much only a dream in February. Driven by the desire to secure such a beautiful location, the senior class came together and logically worked out every detail necessary to achieve our lofty fundraising goals and officially presented our organized plan to the school administration. Thanks to the guidance of the administration and the overwhelming support and participation of this senior class, we eventually secured the location and had what some like to refer to as “the best prom in the history of forever.”
Prior Simon, Fr. Peter, Mr. Silvano, monastic community of St. Anselm’s Abbey, faculty, friends, family, and most importantly, my fellow Class of 2010: it is my pleasure and honor to speak on behalf of this wonderful group of friends and share this memorable day with all of you. As in any classic St. Anselm’s commencement speech, I must first address the question of what, at least in my opinion, makes this school so unique: the Abbey spirit. Whether we are conscious of it or not, the constant prayers of the monks and their three lifelong vows set the tone for all that goes on at our school. The vows of obedience, the ability to listen for God’s voice and see His love in the most ordinary events of life; stabilitas, the promise of long-term commitment to the community to foster the growth of Benedictine foundations; and conversatio morum, openness to new people, attitudes, and points of view—these are the cornerstones of the Abbey spirit that start with the monks and spread to the other members of the community. But how exactly do these ideas and attitudes resonate with a group of rambunctious teenage boys? How does a centuries-old Benedictine teaching react with hormonally driven young men? The product of this reaction is what many of us like to call an “Abbey Boy,” an almost average teen hammered with age-old principles of wisdom and love of education and God.
If I have not yet convinced you of the uniqueness of this class, then maybe this last point will. You know this class is different when sixth graders, who are at the complete opposite spectrum of the school, come eagerly and lovingly to give high-fives and hugs to seniors. Nowhere else in my life have I ever seen something similar to this simple yet beautiful phenomenon of the two most different age groups in our school getting along so well. I don’t know about you guys, but when I was that age, I was terrified of anyone in high school, so it’s hard for me to grasp how exceptional the aura of approachability and the attitude of caring is in this class. This, in my opinion, even above all the successes we’ve shared, is one of my most invaluable memories of my time at St. Anselm’s. It most accurately defines the sense of community and love that my fellow classmates have learned from the monks, teachers, and even young sixth graders. That being said, thank you to the monks whose spirit and commitment instigates all good things we do at our
But what about this class? Has our change from normal boy to Abbey Boy been the same as that of every other 10

school; thank you to the administrators and teachers who touched our hearts with their passion and inspired us to explore all that we have before us. Thank you so much to the parents of the Class of 2010 for choosing to send your sons to this school, and thank you to my family for their endless support and encouragement through good times and difficult times—I love you. Last, but most definitely not least, thank you to my classmates, my brothers, for giving me the best four years of my life. I love you all.
kicked out of the senior hallway, and the countless others I can’t begin to expound, it’s hard to believe our journey here has come to an end. Yet, the fact that this speech is referred to as a “commencement exercise” seems to suggest to me that graduation is not only an end, but also a new beginning. Like any classic St. Anselm’s graduation speech, I cannot forget to quote Saint Benedict, who says, “rursus incipiemus nunc et semper,” or “always we begin again.” In fact, my brothers, this could not be any more true, as we all soon embark on new beginnings to achieve our lives’ greatest dreams. But wherever you may go, whoever you may meet, always remember the Abbey Boy you are and the Abbey School you came from. Live the Fourth. God bless, and thank you.
Through memories of pulling all-nighters for Ethics exams, receiving our first failing grade on a Dr. Wood test, our Kairos retreat, Neil Sood and the fire truck, goofing off in the senior hallway and subsequently being
Austin Scholar Award Matthew Bollinger, ’10 Prior Simon, Fr. Peter, Mr. Silvano, the monastic community, faculty, friends, family and the St. Anselm’s Class of 2010: When I heard that I received the Austin Scholar Award, I was both honored and nervous. Honored, for the obvious reasons. Nervous, because this would be the first time I’d worked in six months. William Shakespeare wrote, “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” St. Anselm’s allows us to achieve greatness on our own, but in the presence of such faculty, students, and community, we feel almost as though greatness is thrust upon us. The small classes, the monastic spirit and the freedoms we have to excel—these traits enfold each of us into a close-knit community which has inspired countless classes to great triumphs. Obviously, St. Anselm’s gave all of us the tools to succeed academically. When we were freshmen, we all knew that we could achieve high grades; the question was: would we? As our workload increased, the answer to that question became doubtful. Nevertheless, the St. Anselm’s community supported our continued success. The subtle Benedictine values ingrained in this school spurred us to deeper study, even when we might not secure a high grade. Wise teachers and strong parents guided us both inside and outside of the classroom. Most importantly, we were surrounded by classmates and upperclassmen as intelligent and curious as ourselves. In order to stand as peers to these fantastic students, we had to excel as superlatively as they assuredly would. Look at our college acceptance list—I think it’s clear that we pushed one another towards something great.
somehow. Unsurprisingly, I didn’t end up being all that great, but I’m proud of all of it. I improved to a level I never thought I could reach, and I made some great friends along the way. Not at every school can a fairly unathletic person have that kind of intense, great experience. It’s because of our small, close-knit community that we could push ourselves so far along so many different roads. Now, having exhorted one another to accomplish what we have, we stand here, about to graduate from the school that has given us so much. We must prepare for a new environment radically different from this Abbey. While we will certainly do our utmost to preserve the ties woven here, some connections will inevitably fade away. Regardless, the maturity and virtue we have cultivated here will stay with us indefinitely. Drawing confidence from our experiences and friendships at St. Anselm’s, we know that we can surely handle the rest of the world. Despite all the changes we are about to undergo, we will always remain the St. Anselm’s Class of 2010.
This same effect motivates us not only in academics, but also in our chosen sports. For me, those sports were track and cross country. Upon joining the team in my sophomore year and learning what workouts my teammates did, I became worried that I was out of my league. My classmates were faster than me; the upperclassmen were on another level. It was soon clear that I would never be the star runner of the team, but still, I enjoyed competing and being with my teammates so much that I resolved to contribute to this team, 11

dents are forced to choose their specialization and stick with it. Even more significant are the opportunities the school offers in terms of your personal relationships. Teachers here will take the time and effort to truly get to know you, and if you treat them with respect they’ll do everything they can to help you succeed. Just last week Mrs. Cholis was telling me about how she was helping a student with his application essays—for medical school. Years after this student had graduated from St. Anselm’s, she still took time out of her schedule at the busiest time of the school year to make sure his essays were as well-written as they could be. And I’m sure this was no small investment of time—as you’ll discover as students in the Upper School, Mrs. Cholis is never shy with her red pen. Your relationships with your classmates are also important. If you’re lucky, some of the guys you’re sitting next to right now will still be among your best friends 10 years from now. It just might surprise you who those friends turn out to be. Take the time to truly get to know all the guys in your class, and realize that you’re uniquely fortunate to be in a school where that is even possible.
Mr. Silvano, Fr. Michael, Mr. Lippe, members of the faculty, family, friends and members of the Form II class of 2010, it is an honor to be here with you tonight as we celebrate the culmination of your Middle School years here at St. Anselm’s and officially mark the beginning of your high school careers.
On the flip side, this small school also demands a lot of its students. I don’t have to tell you that St. Anselm’s is a tough school academically. I’m sure that some of you have had an experience similar to one I did when I first came to St. Anselm’s. A straight-A student all throughout elementary school, I had a bit of a shock when Mr. Achilles gave me a C in my first trimester of Form I U.S. History. Even though I don’t think I ever hit that magic number of 56, I realized quickly that this was a school where anything less than my best effort wasn’t going to cut it. Believe me: this won’t change when you get to high school.
For most of you, tonight doesn’t mark the end of your time at the Abbey, and it may seem a little strange to be taking part in a graduation-style ceremony, about to receive a certificate from the Headmaster. Of course, several members of this class are marking the end of their time as Abbey Boys tonight, and it’s important that we take this time to say goodbye. I hope you’ll always remember your time at this place and the people you met here. Those of you who are staying with us for high school are less than halfway through your academic careers at St. Anselm’s, with plenty of challenges still ahead of you and plenty of memories still to be made. But I hope you’ll all take this opportunity to step back and reflect on your time here so far. Ask yourself: what has this school given me? Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, what have I given to this school? Be honest with yourself. I think many of you will find that the answers to these two questions are very closely tied.
Apart from the School’s academic rigors, our small size means that each student’s individual contributions outside the classroom matter more here than they might at a larger school. A single student’s participation—or failure to participate—in a fund drive for charity can make the difference in whether his House receives much-needed points. Our student council has to work extra hard to get decent attendance at school dances and games. As Upper Schoolers, you’ll be expected to take on leadership roles and participate even more fully in the vibrant life of this school. Know that your attitude and your actions have an outsized impact on those around you, and keep asking yourself those two questions I mentioned earlier: whether you’re getting all you can out of your time here, and whether you’re putting all you have into your time here.
A small school like St. Anselm’s offers its students some incredible opportunities. Despite our size, we’ve got plenty of athletic and extracurricular activities to get involved in, and it’s not uncommon for a guy to graduate with letters in two or more varsity sports, a leadership position on the student council, and having acted in multiple Priory Players productions. This stands in contrast to other schools, where competition is so fierce that stu-
In conclusion, let me say that my hope for you is that four years from now, you’ll be sitting on this very same stage and feel the same way the Class of 2010 felt here on Saturday, which is the same way I felt at my own 12
2009–2010 Annual Report
graduation and the way I feel today. I hope you’ll feel like you’re at home. Take a sense of ownership of your school and take pride in the accomplishments of your classmates. Get to know your friends, but also make an effort to get to know your teachers and those younger and older than you. Talk to alumni, who have been in your shoes and know all about the unique opportunities and demands that the Abbey presents. So make the most of the next four years. Do this for yourself, but also do it for the rest of us who are proud to call St. Anselm’s home. Thank you.
Form II Student Speaker Michael Laskowski Mr. Silvano, Mr. Lippe, Fr. Michael, faculty, staff and parents, as well as my fellow classmates, thank you for giving me the honor of addressing you here tonight. The American poet Don Williams, Jr. once said, “Our lessons come from the journey and not the destination.” And WOW, what a journey it has been!
leaders of the Middle School, and we sure did not disappoint. We hosted one of the best dances that the Middle School has ever seen, 120 girls and 50 boys, and tomorrow, with the support of parent chaperones, we will go on a student government-sponsored field trip to Kings Dominion! In addition to our succeeding socially, this year was also a year of big gains intellectually. We chose our second language this year, having to choose between Spanish and French. We also continued our music courses, with Maestro, Mr. Lodico and Dr. Downey each claiming that his course was the best. Mr. Corrigan offered us life advice, such as not to wrestle a bear, during breaks in his amazingly fast and complete Algebra I course. Snowmageddon provided us with a much-welcomed week off before Spring Break. On the whole, we had loads of fun as a class. We were always trying to sneak in a game of Winterbells before Mr. Bekoe caught us. As we reflect on this year, we must not forget the success of our Middle School athletic teams, who were outstanding throughout the year. The year concluded on Field Day, when the other three houses came together, though unsuccessfully, in trying to deny Moore House another House Cup.
My journey to St. Anselm’s began during my shadow day. My previous school, Friends Community School, was very different from St. Anselm’s. Before I shadowed, I had my doubts as to whether I would enjoy the much more structured environment provided at the Abbey. The day I shadowed, however, three separate classes gave out donuts. I knew this was the school for me. Those donuts assisted me in making one of the best decisions of my life. Tonight is also an opportunity to share our past experiences with one another about our collective journey at St. Anselm’s. In three years, our class has grown on many levels and has become a formidable force throughout the school. This is a far cry from A Form. Do you remember the first day of A Form? We were terrified by Mr. DeLuca and his demanding and very disciplined class. As the year proceeded, however, we became comfortable with him as he became one of our biggest supporters and mentors. We explored the world with Mr. Harwood, and experienced the Old Testament with Fr. Gabriel and had to take his dreaded SHOGREs. By the end of the year, everyone in our class felt very close to everyone else.
Although it has been a class effort to make these years so great, I would like to personally thank my family for their help. My mother, Carol, my father, Chris, and my brother, Matthew, have always been at my side, helping me through even the most difficult assignments. Thank you for sending me to St. Anselm’s and for always receiving me with open arms.
Our second year, Form I, opened our minds to a new type of learning. Cactonian adventures abounded every morning in Fr. Peter’s class, where we took a two-word vocabulary quiz that forced us to be constantly on our toes. We also welcomed a new language, Latin, which reinforced our memorization skills. Mr. Fries maintained a blistering pace throughout the year and provided us a head start for the years of Latin to come while also giving great movie advice. Mr. Achilles showed us how to take notes in class and brought us to a new understanding of our country in his U.S. History course.
Unfortunately, this year, Mr. Lippe, the Head of the Middle School, is departing. Mr. Lippe, despite being an avid Red Sox fan, has been a mentor, friend, and teacher to us all. We all wish him the best at his new school. Next year, all of us will face the challenges of high school. Alas, we will not all be together, as some members of our class begin their journey at other schools. We will miss them. Regardless of where we will be, we are aware that St. Anselm’s has been part of our journey. As we embark on this new chapter in our lives, we should all remember the words of Saint Benedict: “Always we begin again.”
This past year, Form II was one of the biggest classes in St. Anselm’s history. This year, we were looked up to as 13

Whether it has been through cash gifts or planned gifts, the support received from our alumni, parents, and friends allows St. Anselm’s to offer one of the finest educational opportunities in the Washington area. The monks as well as the faculty, staff, students and Board of Trustees recognize and deeply appreciate the many ways that our donors contribute to the success of our School. The generous support of all our alumni, parents and friends ensures a promising future for every Abbey student.
