WELCOME to Jesuit Today. From the fireworks greeting fans at the stadium opening pictured on the front cover to its last page, this issue is a celebration of community.

We share with you all the ways that homecoming festivities reunited alumni and brought students together. Father Postell and President-Elect Mike Earsing share their insights and vision for the future. We bid farewell to Father Jack Deeves, S.J. and fill you in on alumni, students, faculty, families and friends working on behalf of Jesuit and the broader community. In “What It Means To Be Jesuit” we look at the worldwide Jesuit community and how its guiding principles influence Jesuit Dallas. We take a look at the beautiful new

What Inspires You?

The last Sunday of the liturgical cycle every year is the feast of Christ the King.

“King” is an interesting concept because in many ways it exposes the confusion that grips many Christians as they try to understand the quest for meaning in life.

Christ the King approaches the mystery of Christ as a leader, as a messiah, as a king, as an influential person. But the kind of message that these words deliver is almost ambiguous. The message certainly is not purely political, at least not in the deepest sense. It is hardly military and down deep it is not self-serving. But what Christ the leader does is to bring to people their satisfaction for meaning.

So what is it that we want in life? Do we want a guarantee of material prosperity?

Well, within the last two years we have found that monetary dream can be elusive.

Do we want perpetual good health? For someone who has experienced the recent death of a friend or a life-threatening disease himself, one knows just how fleeting that desire can be. Does one desire the perfect family—full of support, consistency, and love? The problem is that people are human and can make their own choices, choices which are sometimes characterized by greed, ignorance, or selfishness. It is interesting to note that when Jesus described Himself, He used the words Son of Man. And when He referred to Himself as a King, He deflected it with the response “My kingdom is not of this world.” Kings as a matter of fact lorded over their subjects, which Jesus reminded us in an earlier verse.

So Jesus always had to correct the impression of His audience, who were looking for the political, military, and materialistic implications of messiah-ship.

We can easily disparage the blindness of Jesus’ first audience, who were looking for the political trappings of a messiah. But in our quest for happiness we can be just as short-sighted and postpone, delay, or ignore the true hunger within the personalities of all of us. We can misread the thirst in our families for simple time and presence. We can misunderstand the distractions of high school adolescents who, on a school night, will stay up and attend the first showing of a Harry Potter movie only to find the next day full of drowsiness and bad feelings.

When I read the dreams and ambitions expressed by our new president in the interview on the next page, I know he is on the right track. He is not distracted by materialistic concerns. And if he is sometimes distracted by the cost of education, I am convinced that he is ultimately guided by the effort that quenches the thirst for meaning in every student. So he will hire faculty that are driven by the Jesuit mission and he will direct the school to focus its priorities on the mission of Jesus to be for others. In other words, the Jesuit school of the future will not be driven by an educational enterprise to help its graduates earn more money—but rather, to follow the leadership of Jesus, the King on His throne of the cross, in service of others. In a nutshell, that is the lesson of Christ the King. In a nutshell that is the lesson of a Jesuit education.

MISSION STATEMENT Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas offers young men an excellent, Catholic education in the classical Jesuit tradition with the purpose of forming a community of men of high moral principles and service to others.

President-Elect Earsing

On Mike Earsing’s elevation to president-elect, Rev. Philip Postell, S.J. commented, “Mike shines in comparison with other candidates.

I personally am thoroughly satisfied.”

Following the announcement that he would succeed Rev. Philip Postell, S.J. as president of Jesuit Dallas in June 2011, Mike Earsing reflected on the upcoming transition.

Q: What do you think about becoming the thirteenth president of Jesuit Dallas?

A: It is an honor to take the reins from Father Postell, a colleague, mentor and friend whom I have known since 1980. While it will be a challenge to follow such a vibrant man, I expect the transition to be smooth since we are both driven by the same mission. I’m not sure what this means but it is interesting to note that both Father Postell and I served as what used to be called the “prefect of discipline.”

Q: How will your role as president be different than your role as principal?

A: The new role will allow me to have a broader perspective and to be more of an idea generator. I hope to get out of my office more because I will not have the same faculty responsibilities. While I will not be signing kids’ excuse notes, I might have more time to have a cup of coffee with students and faculty.

Q: What do you believe are the greatest challenges facing Jesuit Dallas?

A: First, let me state that Jesuit Dallas’ constituents really understand and support the school’s mission, so I am optimistic that we can face all these challenges successfully. I believe these are challenges all Jesuit schools will face. First, the rising cost of private education will require creative solutions. Second, in the prevailing culture of “what’s in it for me?” it will be difficult to hire faculty who are driven by the Jesuit mission. Third, meeting the public demands on private schools, including curriculum requirements, will draw resources in directions we might not

“While I will not be signing kids’ excuse notes, I might have more time to have a cup of coffee with students and faculty.”

otherwise choose. Fourth, the disparity in elementary education will test our ability to serve students who come to us with vastly different levels of preparation. Finally, on a broader level, we must leverage Jesuit education to help people see past the polarization of society to work together toward real goals.

Philip S. Postell, S.J. Q: How will you choose the next principal of Jesuit Dallas?

President, Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas A: I have assembled a search committee—including current parents, alumni, faculty, and parents of alumni—that is evaluating external and internal candidates. today winter 2011

In Memory of Jack Deeves, S.J. Father John Francis “Jack” Deeves, S.J., longtime beloved member of the Jesuit community, passed away on October 16 at age 82.

Father Deeves came to Jesuit Dallas in 1979, where he taught physics and counseled students. In later years, he shared his kind spirit and teaching skill at Ursuline Academy. Father Deeves had been a Jesuit for 65 years and a priest for 52 years. Generations of students from both Jesuit and Ursuline paid tribute at Father Deeves’ funeral, a man of whom Rev. Philip Postell said, ““I can’t think of a guy who more enjoyed his job as a priest than Jack Deeves.” Memorials may be made to The Jesuits, 710 Baronne St., Suite B, New Orleans, La. 70113.

Jesuit seniors journeyed to Nicaragua, where they dug an irrigation and water delivery system that supplies clean water to homes, worked in a home for abandoned handicapped children, and visited a care center for the elderly homeless. The trip launches Jesuit’s long-term partnership initiatives in Central America.

“The development of the student’s intellectual capacity is the school’s most characteristic part.

However, this development will be defective and even dangerous unless it is strengthened and completed by the training of the will and the formation of the character.”

men and women do not separate themselves from the world. Rather, they embrace all of God’s creation and know that God continues to work in the world. At Jesuit Dallas, the curriculum and the broad array of clubs and activities in which students participate are designed to encourage students to engage with the world. From literature, math, science, music, art, athletics, community service, spiritual and social activities to service and exploration trips around the world, Jesuit Dallas students are actively involved. Rugby coach and Assistant Director of Community Service Anthony Mattacchione explains that, to extend teamwork beyond the field, each athletic team participates in community service “learning life lessons like the importance of sharing and finding meaning beyond athletic success.” Senior counselor Jack Fitzsimmons ’76 leads a trip to El Paso, where he challenges students to gain an appreciation for the complexity of immigration issues and realize how they can have an impact. Sheryl Row takes her English students to art museums, the Freedman’s Cemetery, Old City Park, a former plantation and other locations to help them “be aware of the city and the world, to reflect on what they’ve seen, and to ask themselves what they can do.”

—RATIO STUDIORUM [GUIDE TO JESUIT EDUCATION] 1599

What It Means To Be Jesuit While Jesuit Dallas was founded in 1942, the school’s story actually begins in 1534, when seven college students in Paris committed their lives to the service of God. The Society of Jesus founded by Saint Ignatius and his companions does not withdraw from the world, and this view inspires the Jesuit approach to education.

To a Jesuit educator, the purpose of education

is preparation for life, not only this life but everlasting life. Jesuit Dallas is blessed by faculty and staff who understand and are committed to this mission—whose life’s work is the formation of young men.

Central to Jesuit spirituality is finding God in all things. In practice, this means that Jesuit

Jesuit spirituality understands that the exploration of faith and reason are mutually compatible and mutually affirming. From the beginning of the Jesuit order, Ignatius and his followers sought the best possible education for themselves and their followers.

Theirs was not a faith that relied on ignorance, but one that blossomed in the fullness of understanding and knowledge. Jesuiteducated men and women were the first to detect Saturn’s rings. Jesuit scientists include Grimaldi, who discovered the diffraction of light, and Boscovich, who is the father of atomic theory. Jesuits believe that genuine faith must be comprehensive and cannot flourish in isolation from the totality of

God’s creation. So Jesuit Dallas students are encouraged to question, explore and understand their faith while also developing content mastery of all academic disciplines.

Paraphrasing Euclid’s assertion that the laws of nature are the mathematical thoughts of God, math teacher Andrew Dondis teaches students “the beauty of creation and mathematics has God at its origin.” Science department co-chair Julie Carver explains, “Students grow to appreciate God’s hand in the elegance of the design of a molecule, and the biodiversity of insects.” In his Behavioral Ecology class, Todd Gruninger, Ph.D. ’98 helps students understand how faith without understanding of science is vulnerable, and knowledge of science without a basis in faith is incomplete. For example, a purely biological view asserts that humans are incapable of truly unselfish behavior, while an understanding of faith explains how altruism is actually in a person’s best interest. Informed with both faith and knowledge, students are prepared to explore moral and ethical issues.

“The best things about any school are not what is said about it, but what is lived out by its alumni.”

-- PETER-HANS KOVENBACH, S.J., TWENTY-NINTH SUPERIOR GENERAL OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS

Jesuit spirituality affirms the dignity of every human being, realized in community.

Because each person is created in the image of God, any form of oppression harms the human community and our relationship with God. At Jesuit Dallas, this precept guides the interaction of faculty, students and the continued

A Jesuit-inspired life is open to dialogue.

The early Jesuits were missionaries, who incorporated knowledge and truth from varied cultures and traditions. A Jesuit education emerged that integrates letters, rhetoric, mathematics, science, geography and spiritual formation. The breadth of Jesuit achievement is evidenced by centuries of alumni of Jesuit schools who are among the most accomplished in their fields. Some known to popular culture include authors James Joyce and Arthur Conan Doyle, artist Peter Paul Rubens, director Alfred Hitchcock, Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi and actor Denzel Washington. Like the hundreds of Jesuit secondary schools, colleges and universities around the world, Jesuit Dallas belongs to a community dedicated to the belief that a high quality education is a path to a meaningful life of leadership and service. The faculty, staff and supporters of Jesuit Dallas are committed to developing each student to his fullest potential to become a leader equipped to transform society.

In the summer of 2009, Jesuit Today reported that Jesuit alumni John Dorsey ’89 and Michael Hughes ’97 had independently won Sports Emmys from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. The men, who hadn’t met, sought each other out after reading the article. Dorsey and Hughes joke that each was curious “to meet the guy stealing my thunder.”

ESPN. Titled Pony Excess, the film tells how Southern Methodist University (SMU) began the 1980s with the best record in college football and found itself without a team when the NCAA imposed “the death penalty” in 1987.

According to Dorsey, “This is the story of Dallas in the 1980s and the greed, power and corruption that spilled from the oil fields onto the football field and all the way to the Governor’s Mansion.”

When they met, Hughes was developing a project to be directed by fellow Jesuit alumnus Thad Matula ’97. The trio, with Dorsey and Hughes producing and Matula directing, has just completed a documentary film for

Established by the British Parliament to commemorate the ideals of the Marshall Plan enacted after World War II, the scholarships “enable intellectually distinguished young Americans, their country’s future leaders, to study in the UK.”

For the past three years at Rice University, Austin has been studying both electrical engineering and mathematics. His hope is that, as a mathematician and engineer simultaneously, he will have a unique perspective on research questions in both fields. He is currently working with a team at Rice to develop control electronics for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle with potential use for planetary exploration.

Austin reports that, “Jesuit helped prepare me for this experience by providing me with an academic environment that allowed me to grow

and develop my interests to the maximum extent. The faculty at Jesuit creates a place in which students can flourish. Mr. Peter Billingham especially provided me with the support and guidance that I needed to find my way in life. Without his insight and that of the rest of the faculty at Jesuit, I would never have made it to where I am today.”

What Inspires You? In the midst of a fundraising campaign, it’s easy to become distracted with projects and numbers. While those projects are important to the experience of future students, it’s important to remember why the Jesuit Dallas community supports the mission of the school. Each person who contributes time or resources to the school has a story—a reason they choose Jesuit Dallas as their way to impact people’s lives.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us!

An alumnus may share a story of a teacher, coach or counselor who changed his life. A parent might reveal how his son developed academically or became a compassionate man. While words can’t capture the remarkable community that blesses Jesuit Dallas, the stories hint at our enduring bond—one that often continues long after graduation.

Kathy Williams continues to volunteer at Jesuit although her sons have graduated.

Joan Lamb Flatt appreciates that “the friendships and caring at Jesuit are lasting.”

Kathy Williams, mother of Charles ’05 and Graham Davis ’08, laughs that Jesuit always makes parents feel welcome and “they never kick you out.” Like many parents, she continues to volunteer after her sons have graduated. Her ties to Jesuit, which she believes will remain throughout her life, also began long before her sons were students. A transplant to Dallas with young sons, she began to notice that Jesuit alumni were incredible men. She decided to steer her sons toward the school in the belief that they would become the same kind of men. She was not disappointed. “Why support Jesuit?” she asks, “I love this place.”

For Kevin Whelan ’77, “repaying Jesuit is an honor rather than an obligation.” He explains that Jesuit made him the man he is today. From a comparative religions class taught by Father John Heaney, S.J. that strengthened his faith to trying Ann and Kevin Whelan, who new sports and new creative outlets such as pottery continues to appreciate what Jesuit and film-making, and learning the joy of serving did for him. at Hogg Elementary School in Oak Cliff, he found challenges to grow. The friendships he formed as a student continue to bless him today. The years since graduation have increased his appreciation of Jesuit, so he supports the school at every opportunity. Both during his time as a student and in the years since, Jesuit has provided him “with a spiritual wellbeing I never could have imagined.”

Similarly, Joan Lamb Flatt describes three things that Jesuit Dallas provided for her sons, ✝ David ’71, Richard ’72 and Douglas Lamb ’76. It created an awareness of the sufferings of others and a desire to help, instilled a thirst for knowledge, and welcomed them into a lifelong brotherhood. When David died in 2005, she decided to honor his memory by creating a bequest that will allow other boys to have the same experience as her sons. Mrs. Flatt explains, “The friendships and caring at Jesuit are lasting. They live on. I wanted David to live on through the generations of students who will receive a scholarship in his memory.”
