President's Message These four important projects represent a judicious and thoughtful use of present space on campus and a reimagining of how to utilize our current infrastructure in completely new ways. They will all transform our campus and advance our sacred mission on behalf of our students.

The Hollman Family Student Union in the Gedrose Center The Gedrose Center, which has served the Jesuit High School community so well for decades, will have an entirely new look beginning in the fall of 2021, thanks to the generosity of Joe Hollman, Jesuit Class of 1960. Planned improvements, which have already commenced and will be completed by the end of summer, will provide students with a more engaging environment to socialize, study, and share meals together. The flexible, student-focused design will transform the cafeteria and adjacent commons into a vibrant, welcoming community hub for our students to enjoy. Every surface in the cafeteria and commons (floor, walls, ceiling) will be refurbished with new materials and vibrant colors. In addition to enlarging the doorway to unite the cafeteria and commons, there will be an upgrade to audio-visual technology and all new furniture and booths with multiple seating options will be installed. We continue to coordinate this $2.9 million investment with our partners Opsis Architecture and Schommer & Sons (with daily construction led by Paul Schommer, Jesuit Class of 2000). This will be a wonderful transformation of an important historical space on our campus, making it an energizing hub of activity from early in the late morning until the late afternoon. We are thrilled with what this investment will do for student life on our campus.

Dear Jesuit High School Community, In spite of the numerous challenges faced by the members of the Jesuit High School community in the last year – including the global pandemic, a time of racial reckoning in the U.S., a divisive national political climate and election, an unprecedented series of fires, and a debilitating ice storm – Jesuit is looking forward with great optimism and hope to the 20212022 academic year. Our objective is to boldly move into the post-pandemic world with energy, confidence, and a renewed sense of commitment to our mission.

We are deeply grateful for the phenomenal generosity of Joe Hollman, not only on this investment, but over the last several decades at Jesuit High School. For 360-degree views of the Hollman Family Student Union or a livestream of the construction site, please visit jesuitportland.org/studentunion.

Senior Hall Upgrade The renovation of Senior Hall is also underway this summer. We have removed underutilized lockers in Senior Hall and transformed the space into a comfortable and functional area for our students to congregate and socialize during their downtime. This project, which is also managed by Opsis Architecture and Schommer & Sons, will be completed by the start of the 2021-2022 academic year.

On June 5 and 6, we celebrated the inimitable Class of 2021 with a joyful Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement on Cronin Field. All 301 members of the class have made our community a better place over the last four years and been sources of immense light and hope on our campus. Although our hearts break for the lost opportunities that are typical rites of passage for our seniors, we admire their courage, resilience and hope in the face of adversity. We look forward to watching their journeys unfold as they go forth and set the world on fire as women and men for others.

The Clubhouse Jesuit will be creating a multi-functional facility, temporarily called “The Clubhouse,” in the former Valley Plaza Theatre building adjacent to our main campus. Improvements to the unique space will allow for academic, co-curricular and athletic activities and provide us with two additional academic rooms (the two small theatres will be refurbished into academic rooms with comfortable theatre seating) and a “ballroom” (70 feet x 100 feet x 25 feet high) that will be used for such activities

Looking ahead, we currently have four unique infrastructure projects that provide tangible opportunities to invest in the lives of our students. Each will allow our community to generate momentum as we accelerate out of the pandemic and into a hope-filled future.

as AP testing, PE classes, dances, athletic practices, and more. Keeley O’Brien, Jesuit Class of 1993, is the project manager. This multi-functional building promises to be an invaluable asset for our community and a tremendous source of energy for our students for years to come.

This $3 million investment, including new bleachers and state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, will provide an invigorating space for our students to worship, ensuring that the formative faith tradition at Jesuit remains strong for future generations of students. For further information on the Smith Gym Sacred Space Refresh or to make a donation, please visit www.jesuitchanginglives.org.

Smith Gym Sacred Space Refresh Jesuit is currently fundraising for the most important hour of every week: Friday morning Mass. Opsis Architecture is working closely with us to make our Mass experience more intimate, more sacred, and more comfortable for our participants. This is a crucial investment in our mission.

As we transition into another exciting and milestone year of Ignatian education, we want to thank all of you who have partnered so closely with us to advance the mission of Jesuit High School. Your support and generosity enable students of all backgrounds to experience a transformational Jesuit education. We are deeply grateful for your belief in the mission of Jesuit High School.

Friday morning Mass is an integral and unique experience at Jesuit. It is the linchpin, along with our Campus Ministry programming and our Theology curriculum, for our students’ faith formation. Friday morning Mass in the Smith Gym, which is attended voluntarily each week by the vast majority of our students no matter what their faith tradition, is not celebrated in the same way in any other Jesuit high school in the country. Our Friday Mass helps make Jesuit education in Portland memorable and foundational for our students.

Art Students Receive Over 130 Awards An impressive 51 students from Jesuit High School were recently recognized for their outstanding artistic achievements in the Oregon Region for the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards.

Additionally, six students submitted portfolios for the competition. Portfolios are a collection of work comprised of eight pieces that show consistency in superior mastery of materials, innovation and presentation. Senior Abigail Rawlinson received a Gold Key for her portfolio which was considered at the national level.

This year, 134 pieces of art by Jesuit students earned a Gold Key, Silver Key, or Honorable Mention in a variety of media categories, including photography, drawing and illustration, printmaking, painting, editorial cartoon, and more.

In the first semester of the 2020-21 school year, Jesuit students had to refine their art skills at home with the virtual guidance of teachers and collaboration of classmates. Despite these challenges, the student artists found creative ways to persevere.

"I am very proud of the level of participation and the recognition for Jesuit in Visual Art this year," said art teacher Sascha Manning. "These young artists certainly deserve it! These wins are a way to celebrate the courage and creativity of the artists, their work, and the value of the fine arts at Jesuit."

"I bought supplies online, carved the linoleum prints at our kitchen table, and printed the pieces in a corner of our garage on an old backyard table," said Abigail Rawlinson. "Despite the make-shift studio arrangements, I was fortunate to receive accolades for my work and I am extremely grateful for the support from Ms. Manning and Jesuit."

Five Jesuit students – Abigail Rawlinson ’21, Mirabel Streu ’23, Nathan Hasbrook ’21, Stella Bonta ’24 and Sydney Averill ’21 – received Gold Key awards in the regional category and were elevated to the national competition.

Jesuit Chronicle Named Distinguished News Site Jesuit High School’s student newspaper, The Jesuit Chronicle, was named a Distinguished Site for online news for high school journalism in the U.S. by School News Online (SNO). The Distinguished Site Award recognizes news staff’s excellence in six aspects of online publishing: continuous coverage, site excellence, audience engagement, story page design, writing, and multimedia. In 2020-21, The Jesuit Chronicle earned recognition from SNO in individual areas of online publishing. Each recognition is called a digital badge and is displayed at the top of the news site. Last year, only 63 other schools across the nation earned all six digital badges and recognition as a Distinguished Site. “Beyond The Jesuit Chronicle, jesuitnews.com focuses on bringing together student news from the whole community,” said journalism teacher Dan Falkner. “This recognition from SNO would not have been possible without the contributions from not only The Jesuit Chronicle news staff, but also students in JCTV with their work in pre-recorded and live broadcasts.” Check out the award-winning site and coverage anytime at jesuitnews.com.

Jesuit Wins Oregon Ethics Bowl A huge congratulations goes out to our Jesuit High School students who won the 2021 Oregon Ethics Bowl on Feb. 6 and 7.

Team Jesuit 3 – Sophia Pi ’22, Rohan Varma ’23, Abigail Hostler ’22, and Victor Li ’23

The Ethics Bowl offers high school-aged students the opportunity to rigorously discuss ethics in a respectful and supportive environment. Teams analyze cases with complex ethical dilemmas and respond to questions and comments from other competitors and a panel of judges.

Team Jesuit 2 team claimed victory in the semi-finals and faced Lincoln High School head-to-head in the final round. The battle was tough, but Jesuit was well-prepared and ultimately secured victory over Lincoln. “Jenny, Lucy, Alexandra and Giselle were impressive in their performance and preparation for the 2021 Ethics Bowl,” says Angela Steiert, coach of Jesuit’s Ethics Bowl team.

Two Jesuit teams competed in the semi-finals and both performed exceptionally well, displaying an impressive level of thoughtfulness and dedication. The teams were comprised of:

“This has not been an easy time, yet they embraced the challenge and delved deeply into very timely and relevant cases presented this season.”

Campus Corner Chess Team Wins State Tournament Jesuit High School’s Chess Team won first place in the 2021 Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation’s K-12 Open Section at the State Championship in April. This victory marked the first time a Jesuit High School Chess Team has won a state competition. The Chess Team is comprised of Jesuit’s top 5 highest rated and registered players: Roshen Nair ‘24, Rohan Sastry ‘24, Zane Godil ‘22, Nesara Shree ‘24, and Vladie Mamchik ‘23. Each player competed in five rounds and Jesuit’s team scored a total of 13.5 points, with each win counting for 1 point and draws counting as 0.5 points. “I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of all the team members and I am happy that our team was able to come through and win the state K-12 Chess Championship,” said team captain Roshen Nair ‘24. “We are planning to continue organizing practice tournaments so that the Jesuit High School Chess Team can keep improving for next year’s chess state championship.”

Three additional Jesuit students competed as a separate team and placed third in the Mixed Schools Division: Conner Jensen ‘24, Kavish Patel ‘24, and David Reynaud ‘23. Roshen Nair, Rohan Sastry, Nesara Shree, and Conner Jensen also received individual first place awards for their outstanding performance based on their board placement. “We are so proud of our new Chess Champions!” said Principal Paul Hogan. “In a challenging (and virtual) environment, they managed to stay one move ahead of the competition on all levels! Go, Sader Chess!”

Blanchet House Honors JHS with Founders Award In March of 2021, Blanchet House recognized Jesuit High School with its Founders Award during their Lend A Helping Hand Brunch. The Founders Award honors an individual or organization that has made a substantial contribution to the ability of Blanchet House to fulfill its mission that year.

Jesuit students, families, and faculty and staff packed more than 10,000 portable meals over the course of several drives. “This past year, Jesuit High School’s support for Blanchet House and the individuals we serve has to a significant degree allowed us to successfully meet the extraordinary need in our community during this pandemic,” said Blanchet House Executive Director and Jesuit parent Scott Kerman. “The sack lunch drive was a stroke of genius.”

Blanchet House is a nonprofit in downtown Portland that provides food, clothing, and housing programs to people in need.

In April of 2020, the JHS community, under the leadership of Arrupe Center Director Andrea Casey ’97 and Associate Director Kim Bastable, successfully organized the first sack lunch drive to help meet the urgent need for to-go meals for people facing food insecurity during the first months of the pandemic.

Sack lunch drives are now one of Blanchet House’s most popular volunteer activities, with other organizations following suit to hold similar drives. Since the first drive in April 2020, sack lunch drives have resulted in over 115,000 meals that have helped communities throughout the Portland-metro area.

JHS Librarian Gregory Lum Named YALSA Volunteer of the Year Jesuit’s Clark Library Director Gregory Lum was selected as YALSA’s Volunteer of the Year for his outstanding service to the goals, mission, and work of YALSA (Young Adults Library Services Association), a division of the American Library Association. “Gregory Lum’s efforts made far-reaching impacts across our organization, and his hard work and dedication will benefit librarians who serve teens and teens themselves for many years to come,” wrote Jessica Hilbun Schwartz, YALSA Committee Chair. Over the past two years, Gregory worked with YALSA and the American Library Association to create the Joann Sweetland Lum Memorial Grant to help libraries promote literacy in creative and innovative ways. After his proposal was approved last winter, Gregory volunteered his time and energy to write over 300 personal letters to family and friends to raise the necessary funds. In the following months, he collected over $30,000 for this new grant named in honor of his late wife, Joann, who was an avid user and advocate for libraries.

Gregory has been the Library Director at Jesuit High School since 2003. In addition to serving on national and state library committees, he regularly volunteers his time to lead Encounters and other community building activities for Jesuit students. “Gregory’s award is well-deserved,” said Associate Librarian Erin Fitzpatrick-Bjorn. “He continually aims to improve the quality of the education we provide here at Jesuit and the quality of library services across the country. I learn from him every day. He is definitely a man for others personally and professionally, and I am very proud to work alongside him.”

“I was shocked by everyone’s generosity,” said Gregory. “ It is a true blessing to award this grant in honor of my late wife Joann. I am thankful for all of the monetary donations from family and friends to promote literacy across the country for years to come.”

Blanchet House also recognized the students who regularly volunteer to serve meals, pack care kits and organize donation drives, even in the midst of a pandemic. Jesuit students have dedicated over 1,000 hours of service this year to Blanchet House. Additionally, Jesuit’s Student Government hosted a drive during Halloween to collect cold weather supplies for several hundred Care Kits which were assembled and donated to Blanchet House. “These students brought and continue to bring such spirit and positivity to our community,” said Mr. Kerman. “We knew we could rely on them to do whatever we asked of them.”

Campus Corner According to Caitlin, HWC’s mission is straightforward: to make those experiencing homelessness “feel human again,” through personal connection and individual care kits. Caitlin and Creighton set out to raise $700, but soon raised ten times that amount. Last up is Samyak Shrimali ’23, one of only six National Power of Children awardees in the U.S. After his mother experienced an infection in a hospital visit, Samyak began researching and found that 1.7 million people suffer from hospital-acquired infections around the globe each year. Samyak decided to work toward a solution. It turns out that insufficient hand washing by hospital staff is a leading cause of infections. With the Samyak Shrimali ’23 developed a software program that alerts hospital staff when they do not follow guidance of Dr. Mahfuza Ali, Samyak proper hygiene. developed a software program that alerts hospital staff when they do not follow proper hygiene.

“Using the power of technology to solve biological problems – even taking a step further in the journey to treat cancer – can help millions of patients who are suffering all around the world, and their families who are suffering with them. That’s what I love about science – it’s a tool to help, to save, and to serve humanity,” says Darsh. Meanwhile, Caitlin Thomas ’23 and Creighton Martz ’23 created a Portland chapter of the nonprofit Handle With Care. The two friends presented their research to the board of the LA-based nonprofit Handle With Care. Thanks to their professional presentation, they received the board’s blessing to bring Handle With Care to Portland.

Athletics When Teamwork was Quarantined BY MIKE HUGHES ‘79, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

The global pandemic inflicted many negative consequences on high school athletics in the first half of the 2020-21 school year. Students stuck in their houses often did not exercise which resulted in more depression, anxiety, lack of fitness and reduced blood flow to the heart and brain. Some students in Oregon lost potential scholarship opportunities by not being able to showcase their talent to college coaches. But perhaps the greatest casualties during the half-year off from athletics were the reduction of comradery, fellowship and friendship among players. Teamwork was quarantined. Students in high school sports often speak fondly about the friendships they make on their teams. At Jesuit High School, we often advise incoming freshmen to go out for a fall sport in mid-August so that when they walk down the halls on the first day of school in September, they will already have close friends. Our women’s lacrosse, soccer, volleyball and basketball teams speak of the sisterhood they share with their teammates. Football chapel services often involve sermons from the seniors about the The women’s lacrosse team played several of the top teams in the state during culmination week and “band of brothers” they have in their unit. finished the tournament as champions. Cross country and track athletes quickly learn to run as a pack, for they are pulled along to faster times Trinity teaches us that God at God’s core – what theologians than they could ever run on their own. All athletes realize that call God’s ontology – is a divine friendship. The Father, Son they train harder when they are competing for a team than just and Holy Spirit is a right relationship. Since we are created in for themselves. Teamwork is one of the secrets of our success at God’s image, then fundamentally, we are created for loving Jesuit.

Two Students Named Players of the Year In its 36th year of honoring the nation's best high school athletes, Gatorade recognized two Jesuit High School student-athletes as Players of the Year in their chosen sport – Chloe Foerster ’22 received the 2020-21 Oregon Gatorade Women's Crosscountry Player of the Year and Aidan Azavedo ’21 received the 2020-21 Gatorade Oregon Boys Soccer Player of the Year.

girls are some of my best friends, and it makes cross-country so special for me,” says Foerster. In addition to competing on Jesuit’s cross-country team, Foerster volunteers and participates in Mock Trial, Green Team, Jesuit Ambassadors, Social Justice Union, and SAFER, all while maintaining a highly impressive 4.10 GPA at Jesuit.

CHLOE FOERSTER ’22

AIDAN AZAVEDO ’21

Chloe's exceptional athletic ability was evident early on with her fourth place finish at the Class 6A state meet as only a sophomore. At the Nike Cross Virtual Championship last season, Foerster finished fifth in the United States with a time of 17:04.1, making her Oregon’s top finisher in the showcase. She continued to top Oregon’s leaderboard as she led Jesuit’s team to a national third place finish.

Aidan led the Crusaders to a 9-1-1 record during this past pandemic-abbreviated soccer season. Aidan scored three goals and passed for nine assists. The 2021 Metro League Player of the Year, he is a three-time All-State selection and a four-year starter who helped lead Jesuit to the 2018 Class 5A state championship. A member of the Jesuit High School Diversity Club, Aidan has volunteered locally as part of a fundraising campaign to benefit cancer research. He has also donated his time to the Providence Children’s Health Center and as a camp counselor. “Speaking as an opposing coach, Aidan’s ability to break down a defense with a pass or cross at any moment was always top of mind,” said Monty Hawkins, head coach of Sherwood High. “What makes him special on the field is his inventiveness and creativity under pressure in tight situations, especially in the final third.” Aidan has maintained a 3.40 GPA in the classroom. He is taking a post-graduate year at the U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School in Colorado this fall.

In the 2021 spring track season, Foerster broke four school records and officially became the fastest high school junior in Oregon history with a 4:20.42 finish for 1500 meters. “I’ve been coaching 39 years and Chloe is the most talented and committed female athlete that I’ve ever been associated with,” says Jesuit’s cross-country coach Tom Rothenberger. “Since she made the decision to forgo soccer and commit herself to running, she has created a culture on our team that is truly amazing.” Foerster saw cross-country as an opportunity to grow as a runner and join a motivational and supportive group of athletes. “I enjoy the team the most. They are what makes me want to come to practice even on days when I am sore and tired. Those

Transitioning to a Promising, Thriving Future A MESSAGE FROM FR. PATRICK COUTURE, S.J., SUPERIOR OF CANISIUS JESUIT COMMUNITY, JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL

Dear Friends,

As for me, I have gone from figuring out how to teach a course I have never taught remotely before, to navigating in-person hybrid learning. There have been dropped Zoom meetings, faulty WiFi, an ice storm, and a few stern words I have threatened my computer with when it was not cooperating. And yet there were moments of laughter, virtual hangouts with friends and family, a lot of golf, and eventually socially-distanced gatherings outside on the residence patio. These moments have encouraged within me the persistent desire to remain hopeful that one day we’ll be together again and able to shake hands or hug, God willing, without a mask.

It has been an extraordinarily busy second semester, but right now I am enjoying the warm weather with my Mom and Dad who are fully vaccinated and whom I have not seen for many months. I am feeling an increasingly growing sense of gratitude for our Jesuit community and the ways in which we have safely returned to the classrooms, courts, fields, and stage. I always love the spring and summer seasons at Jesuit because the campus comes alive with warmer weather, longer days, and the promise of sunshine. I truly missed this during our remote learning last year. I watched the clouds of COVID and quarantine begin to part as students, teachers, and staff came back to campus this past semester. A growing sense of gratitude and hope has certainly blossomed.

Finally, we welcomed back the recently ordained Fr. Billy Biegler, S.J. In April of 2021, Fr. Biegler was temporarily missioned to Jesuit to help out two days a week. I think it is safe to say that the Jesuit High community is grateful for Fr. Biegler’s return to campus before he leaves Portland later this summer for his next mission at Loyola High School in Los Angeles.

As for the Canisius community at Jesuit High School, we remain small yet thriving. Fr. Bill and I have found ways to weather quarantine, especially since it has had a profound impact on our ministries. In March 2020, Fr. Bill’s work in parishes came to a halt. He quickly began to find ways in which to continue his ministry remotely with the Latino and Spanish-speaking Catholics who were engaged with the missionary catechism. Fr. Bill started having meetings via Zoom, socially distanced sacraments such as reconciliation, and taught himself how to make tutorial videos for the missionary catechists. It became rather common to see a sign on Fr. Bill’s door that simply read “Recording. Do not knock.” Now, in these latter months of the pandemic when people have been able to return to Mass, Fr. Bill has begun to help out parishes in Washington County once again, celebrating Masses and the sacraments with people and loving every minute of it.

•

My friends, let us continue to pray for one another and for our community with hearts that remain hopeful for a future that begins to resemble our past. Let us also remain grateful and appreciative of the things, big and small, we have longed for in these many months and will never take for granted again. Peace,

Fr. Patrick Couture, S.J.

An Ignatian Year: “To See All Things New in Christ” The Society of Jesus worldwide is celebrating an Ignatian Year that began May 20, 2021, and concludes July 31, 2022, with the feast of St. Ignatius. May 20 commemorated the 500th anniversary of St. Ignatius’ injury at Pamplona when his leg was severally damaged by a cannonball. Ignatius’ subsequent convalescence at his home in Loyola was the beginning of his conversion experience in which he chose to put behind his dreams of vainglory in order to discern the path God was calling him to follow. According to a letter from the province, “Fr. General Arturo Sosa, S.J., announced that conversion – personal, communal, and institutional – comprises the theme for the Ignatian Year. Its motto is: ‘To see all things new in Christ.’” Along with the announcement of this Ignatian Year, the province has provided a prayer card that further explains the significance of the Ignatian Year and includes a short, simple prayer.

Inflammate Omnia Ignatian Year Prayer Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Your name means to ignite, to inflame. Set our hearts on fire To know Jesus more intimately, Love Jesus more intensely, To follow more closely.

Jesuits West Advancement Office PO Box 68 Los Gatos, CA 95031-0068

guide our next steps. Help us to create all things anew in Christ

Missioning of Xavier by Kathy Sievers Chapel of the Holy Trinity at La Storta Loyola Jesuit Center, Portland, Oregon

Knowing that God’s love and grace are enough. Amen.

We would like to invite our community to unite together in prayer during this Ignatian Year, knowing, and perhaps finding comfort, that we do this as a community: people praying with and for one another. In doing so, may we be open to the grace of conversion in the ways that God calls us as individuals, as a community, and as an institution. May God bless you and all of us during this Ignatian Year.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Students of Southeast Asian heritage share their culture with the JHS community at the Community Celebration Assembly.

Celebrating Jesuit's First Social Justice Week Jesuit’s first-ever Social Justice Week took place from March 15-19, 2021, and offered a time to focus intentionally on justice/injustice; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI); human dignity; cultural identity; sustainability; life issues; and more. During the week, Jesuit students and teachers explored how to continue to grow as an equitable, inclusive and antiracist school while learning how to, listen, dialogue, act, and celebrate the Jesuit community. A new event called Jesuit Day of Community and Action (JDOCA) occurred on Wednesday, March 17. Jesuit was proud to welcome Mr. Anthony Ray Hinton as its first-ever Social Justice Week keynote speaker. Mr. Hinton spent 30 years on death row for a crime he did not commit. Bryan Stevenson – acclaimed public interest attorney, bestselling author of Just Mercy, and Equal Justice Initiative founder – ultimately convinced the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Mr. Hinton’s conviction unanimously. The Jesuit community had the immense privilege of hearing Mr. Hinton’s story and learning about his work as an Equal Justice Initiative Educator who advocates for abolition of the death penalty, a position consistent with Catholic Social Teaching.

out the community, on JDOCA and for weeks afterward. While students and JHS staff each participated in three workshops, they were able to choose from over 30 options. Workshop leaders, including students and faculty, helped ensure that the inaugural JDOCA made a deep impact on all participants. “The many teachers, students and community members who showed up to lead or monitor a workshop for our first-ever JDOCA were indispensable to the success of the day!” said Melissa Lowery, Jesuit’s Director of DEI. “Our community came together and created a beautiful shared learning experience that we hope to continue year after year after year. On JDOCA, we saw true the Ignatian spirit, seeking to discern God’s will in our work together.” The Community Celebration Assembly for students, faculty, and staff wrapped up the day. Students were invited to share a form of their cultural identities through dance, song, instruments, spoken word, or other expression. Over 45 students participated in the assembly, which not only provided amazing performances, but also educated students and staff on cultural traditions within the community. “We were incredibly excited to launch Jesuit’s Social Justice Week! As Pope Francis reminded us recently at a meeting entitled ‘Building the New Social Justice,’ social justice is a ‘collective work’ that must be achieved on a daily basis,” said Jesuit Principal Paul Hogan. “This work has been the focus of Jesuit schools since the first one was founded in Messina, Italy 473 years ago. We are proud to continue in this tradition of solidarity with those on the margins of our world, and with Creation itself.”

Over 45 students participated in the assembly, sharing artistic expressions of their cultural identities.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion A Year of DEI Work Jesuit students were active in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work in 2021-21. Navigating the global pandemic produced a unique school year, but our students still engaged in thoughtful discussions based on relevant topics and issues that allowed them to delve into their understanding of our society and world and come to meaningful conclusions.

DEI Welcome Back Drive Through Due to COVID in August of 2020, we were not able to gather all of our families together for our annual DEI Welcome Back Potluck. Instead we had a Welcome Back Family Ice Cream Drive Through. Families drove onto campus near the tennis courts and were greeted by a parade of returning students and faculty. Although it was not our traditional beginning-of-the-year meet, it was a memorable experience and new families felt welcomed.

Student Life Students engaged in a new program called Peer2Peer Conversations led by, and for, students. In March of 2021, Peer2Peer collaborated with Jesuit Community Conversations by giving a thorough presentation about anti-Blackness and taking part in a conversation with alumni and faculty.

Jesuit Community Conversations

JCC was a new and significant addition to our DEI program in 2020-21. These conversations were intended to create a dialogue and spark awareness about issues that affect our Jesuit community on a macro and micro level. Our entire Jesuit family was invited to listen, ask questions, share experiences, and fellowship. Topics discussed this year included: racial justice and current climate, justice from a legal perspective, the significance of voting, and DEI within the gospel and Catholic social teaching.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Legacy Assembly This year our MLK Assembly was live streamed with the help of JCTV, and focused on human dignity and service. Students read from writings and sermons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and other Civil Rights Activists, and heard a presentation about service from Ms. Andrea Casey, Director of the Arrupe Center. Campus Minister Don Clarke and Choir Director Kristen Caldwell led us in singing the civil rights anthem “We Shall Overcome,” and we watched an original performance by our choir and band.

Parent Community and Participation Our PAGs grew stronger this year in their engagement in the community. Groups include PAASA (Parents of African American Students Association), PLSA (Parents of Latino Students Association), PDIA (Parent Diversity and Inclusion Alliance) and PAAPIA (Parents of Asian American and Pacific Islander students association). These affinity groups provide a specific and intentional space for parents to share their unique experiences being part of the Jesuit community. This year our PAGs engaged in deep conversations about race, culture, self-care and support. The involvement of our PAGs allows our parent community to have open conversations that create more awareness and mindfulness at home and in our school community.

Family Service Day Our Parent Affinity Groups (PAGs) organized two donation drives for our community. The first drive was during our Thanksgiving Family Service in support of the non-profit, HomePlate Youth Services. PAGs collected over 10 large bins of toiletries, gift cards and chargers for Home Plate. In January for our second Family Service Day, we supported Impact NW. PAGs collected bins of cleaning supplies, gift cards and kind notes from our community. We were blessed to be able to support and empower these amazing organizations.

Remembering Dick Gedrose ’61

Dick Gedrose ’61 and wife Gloria

Living Age Quod Agis ‘Every Step of the Way’ Richard (Dick) Gedrose ’61 passed away on Aug. 1, 2021, following a long and courageous battle with cancer. Dick was an institution at Jesuit High School since his arrival as a student more than six decades ago. He served our community loyally, tirelessly, and with immense devotion as a teacher, coach, athletic director, vice principal, principal, and president.

the spring of 1983, Dick became principal. He assumed the role of president in 1998 until his retirement in 2005. Throughout his long tenure as teacher, coach and administrator, Dick always strove to achieve what he saw as the school’s priority – what was best for the students. A paragon of commitment and integrity, he had the ability to make decisions with grace and compassion. He watched Jesuit evolve and grow over the years, putting his entire heart and soul into tireless devotion to Jesuit’s mission and its students and to fostering a dedication to excellence. Fr. Larry Robinson, S.J., emphasized Dick’s enduring and steadfast commitment to Jesuit in an article he wrote about Dick in the Age Quod Agis magazine in 2005: “ … as a loving husband, father and grandfather, he became a model, a prototype of the Jesuits’ companion in mission, as ‘Jesuit’ as any person who ever worked in this apostolate. And every step of the way, Age Quod Agis.” Recently, when asked about significant memories from his time at Jesuit, Dick shared three key events. First, he mentioned his help in writing the Profile of a Jesuit Graduate at Graduation. As the presence of Jesuits at the school declined in the 1980s,

Dick graduated from Jesuit in 1961 and attended college at Gonzaga University where he earned a degree in education. Dick’s first teaching job was at Brookings-Harbor High School, where he taught social studies. After two years in Brookings, he was hired at Regis High School in Stayton, Oregon, where he taught for another two years. Moving back to Portland, Dick spent one year at Jackson High School before taking a position at his alma mater in 1970. “I was really looking for a school where I could experience community and a sense of belonging, and I found it at Jesuit High School,” said Dick. For the next 35 years, Dick served Jesuit in almost every capacity. In addition to teaching history from 1970 to 1974, he was an assistant football coach and head track coach. From 1975 until 1983, he served as athletic director and vice principal. In

Jesuit needed to clarify its goals and objectives as a Catholic, Jesuit high school. Since then, every Jesuit student has studied the Profile and is expected to live up to its expectations. Second, Dick faced the challenge of keeping the school a “Jesuit” and “Catholic” high school as most new employees were lay faculty, not Jesuit priests. Under his direction, Jesuit’s Campus Ministry and Christian Service departments became central parts of the school’s mission. Third, Dick, along with Fr. Bill Hayes, S.J., and others, was instrumental in orchestrating Jesuit’s transition from an all-boys school of 37 years to a coeducational environment in 1993. At the time, the change was fraught with controversy and required patience and commitment. Today, it is impossible to imagine Jesuit without young women. In 1992, Dick received the Alumnus of the Year Award from Jesuit High School. In 1997, Dick and Gloria, his wife of 55 years, were honored with the St. Peter Canisius Award, Jesuit’s most prestigious recognition. And in 2005, Dick received the John Traynor Award from the Society of Jesus for his outstanding service in the Jesuit apostolate by a layperson and the Fr. Pedro Arrupe, S.J., Award from Jesuit High School to honor his long service with the school. He was inducted into Jesuit’s Hall

I’ve often said that, in terms of my life, the three most important things in my life have been my faith, my family, and Jesuit High School.

of Fame in 2012 in recognition of his extraordinary career at Jesuit High School. Since he retired from Jesuit in 2005, Dick has been a mentor to countless coaches, teachers, and administrators. Generations of Jesuit community members love, admire, and cherish what he has done for so many in the Jesuit community through the years. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he now rest in peace. Amen.

Development

Architectural renderings of the soon-to-be upgraded Smith Gym

Refreshing and Enhancing a Sacred Space BY DIANE SALZMAN, VICE PRESIDENT FOR DEVELOPMENT

During the past 18 months, we have reimagined our various fundraising events, including our single largest initiative, the Auction. For a second consecutive year, we were faced with the question of how best to engage our alumni, current and past parents, and friends of Jesuit High School as we aimed to create a sense of virtual community and assist essential programs dependent upon fundraising efforts.

Recognizing the importance of refreshing the Smith Gym to provide a sacred space for Mass and the need to raise funds for tuition assistance, we created the Changing Lives Together initiative in place of our traditional Auction in May. On April 26, we launched a two-week digital campaign which featured a virtual fundraising event on Saturday, May 8. Throughout the two weeks and during the Saturday event, we shared inspiring stories of how Jesuit impacts students’ lives through faith, community, service, academics, and co-curriculars.

For several years we have discussed creating an enhanced sacred space for the most important hour of every week at Jesuit – Friday Mass. Students and parents alike have asked how we can improve the technology, lighting, and seating in the Smith Gym for our Friday Masses.

Our hosts for the May 8 event, Nina Mehlhaf ’98 and Dale Johannes with Artisan Auctions, were energetic and enthusiastically encouraged viewers to support the campaign. To date, we have raised over $900,000 for the spring initiative! We will continue the Changing Lives Together campaign as we aspire to raise a total of $3 million for the Smith Gym refresh. A key component of the virtual event was a matching gift presented by Renee James and Steven Cooney and Sean ’82 and Jennifer O’Scannlain. Each family donated $50,000 to the campaign and challenged our community to collectively give 50 gifts of $1,000. Our audience rose to the occasion.

We are in the wonderful predicament of needing a larger space for Mass and the Smith Gym is one of the few places on campus that can accommodate up to 1,000 of our students who want to gather with their friends and classmates to celebrate the Eucharist every week. While the Smith Gym allows for a large number of people to come together, we knew that we could provide a more reverent, intimate setting – a sacred space – for our Friday liturgy.

•

A memorable highlight from our campaign was the video of former JHS President Dick Gedrose ’61, explaining the evolution of Friday Mass at Jesuit High School and the difference that Friday Mass makes in the lives of the young women and men who grace our campus every day. Members of our community appreciated hearing from such a beloved Jesuit leader. Megan Carle, parent of Spencer ’22 and Jackie ’25, and Mary Murphy, parent of Elizabeth ’08, Patrick ’09, Henry ’11, Sarah ’13, Edward ’17, and Peter ’20, were our Changing Lives Together campaign co-chairs. They formed a group of talented parents who assisted in the transition from a six-decade Auction model to a digital and virtual initiative. We wish to extend special thanks to our Presenting Sponsors, Touchmark and Colleen & Werner Nistler and our 2021 Jeep Renegade raffle sponsors, NW Jeep and the McGrain family. Their long-term commitment to the mission of Jesuit High School is nothing short of remarkable. In addition, we commend our Platinum Sponsors: Clearview MRI – Darcy Orin; (w)here Real Estate – Suzann Baricevic Murphy; Evergreen Prosthetics & Orthotics – Tim and Gina O’Neill; and Heather and Chris Adamek for their unwavering support with our transition from a traditional auction to a digital campaign and virtual event. As many in our audience at the May 8th event anticipated, we announced our raffle and drawing winners. Congratulations to the 2021 Jeep Renegade winner, Jesuit alum parent Nicole Dvorshak, and to Eric Messer, current parent and winner of our “Watch to Win” drawing – an all-expense paid trip to Hawaii for two! Both Nicole and Eric were watching live as their names were drawn and announced. A tremendous thank you to all who supported the Changing Lives Together campaign in May. Your support has helped us launch the next phase as we raise funds solely for the Sacred Space – Smith Gym Refresh. We are grateful for your faith and commitment to the spiritual formation of our students.

INTRODUCING THE HOLLMAN FAMILY STUDENT UNION We are thrilled to announce that the Gedrose Student Center, which has served the Jesuit High School community so well for decades, will have an entirely new look in fall 2021, thanks to the generosity of Joe Hollman ’60. Planned improvements to the space, which began in May and will be completed in August 2021, will provide students with a more engaging environment to socialize, study, and share meals together. The flexible, student-focused design will transform the cafeteria and commons into a vibrant, welcoming community hub for all to enjoy. Since its construction in 1956, there have been just a few improvements to the cafeteria and the area immediately outside of the cafeteria, called the commons. Enhancements to both spaces will prioritize the needs of our students and modernize the facilities. Every surface in the cafeteria and commons (floor, walls, ceiling) will be updated with new materials and vibrant colors. One of the most exciting updates will be the conversion to an open floor plan. In addition to enlarging the doorway to unite the cafeteria and commons, new flooring and acoustic elements added to the ceiling will make for a seamless transition. The remodel will also feature an upgrade to AV technology, including multiple flat screen televisions. With an emphasis on flexible seating options, all new furniture and booths will be added. An additional serving window in the cafeteria will expedite and improve food service so that students can spend more time together during breaks and lunch. While the building will remain the Gedrose Student Center, we are proud to name the remodeled cafeteria and commons area the Hollman Family Student Union. Joe Hollman ‘60 generously donated $2 million for the renovation of the Gedrose Student Center and Commons.

Mr. Hollman is the founder and owner of Keyless.Co, the premier manufacturer and supplier of keyless combination locks and locker hardware for high-security facilities worldwide. He is also the founder of Hollman, Inc., the world’s largest manufacturer of sport, fitness and office lockers. For over three decades, Mr. Hollman has graciously supported Jesuit, making it possible for hundreds of students to receive an Ignatian education. The Hollman family has previously provided resources for several Jesuit improvement projects, including the Hollman Track in Cronin Field. When asked how a Jesuit education has impacted his life, Mr. Hollman reflected on a strong foundation and highlighted four principles: 1. Seek and speak the truth in all matters. 2. Accept responsibility for everything that happens. 3. Be the inspiring, sensitive leader whom you would love to follow. 4. Remember that success and happiness is determined by how much you respect and appreciate what God has given you. “Through the education and guidance I received during my Jesuit years, my life was changed for the better,” shared Mr. Hollman. “Those lessons I learned continue to impact my life today. I believe that a Jesuit education impacts every facet of a student’s life and truly lasts forever. I am a living example of that, and I am humbly grateful.” We are grateful that Mr. Hollman and his family continue to make a difference in the lives of our students with their significant gift for the Hollman Family Student Union. We invite you to join us this fall as we welcome our community back to campus to celebrate in this reinvigorated community hub and honor the Hollman family for their enduring commitment to Ignatian education.

A TESTAMENT TO RESILIENCE

Class of 2021

When members of the Class of 2021 finally returned to campus for classes in early February of 2021, school leaders thanked them for their resilience and deep sacrifice in giving up so many high school rites of passage in order to protect the health of the most vulnerable during the past year’s pandemic.

“The Jesuit Class of 2021 has navigated and adapted to a new way of learning, interacting, and growing, all while celebrating incredible achievements,” says Krish Aditya ’21. “We’ve brought home state titles, put world premieres on our stage, and advocated for the causes that matter to us. From singing our hearts out on retreats to cheering our loudest at games, we’ve grown from a collection of unique individuals to a single community grounded in love. The Class of 2021 never gave up the opportunity to make the most of what we were given, to use our talents for good, and to serve one another with joy.”

May finally offered students the chance to sing, dance, and celebrate the power of their community, starting with Prom. Jesuit’s Prom was a spectacular explosion of colorful dresses, sunshine, saxophones and unfettered teenage joy. The 500 students in attendance were greeted by a campus transformed into an enchanted forest of fun, Italian sodas, and rock ‘n’ roll.

Krish's sentiments could not be more true: The Class of 2021 started the most clubs in history at JHS, completed the most virtual service hours of any class, and led the most retreats – truly an impressive lineup of accomplishments.

The Final Mile of the Senior Pilgrimage, a 24-year tradition, took place the Sunday after Prom. Seniors had the chance to reflect on their journey at Jesuit. Speakers expressed gratitude to their classmates and to Jesuit itself.

ALUMNI IN SERVICE Amanda nguyen ’17

Four days after graduation from Jesuit, Amanda Nguyen ’17 started her military career. In San Antonio, Texas, she attended boot camp at Lackland Air Force Base and technical school for dentistry at Fort Sam Houston. She currently works as a dental assistant for dental procedures and oral surgery at the National Guard Base in Portland, her home unit. “At JHS, the core values of being men and women for others and serving are similar to military values,” she says. “There is an inner moral compass that is instilled and it becomes who you are, whether you are in uniform or not.” While COVID-19 prevented Amanda from helping to provide free pop-up medical and dental clinics in underprivileged communities, she still works on base with military patients before they head out on assignments. With the vaccine now available, Amanda is working full-time on base doing administrative scheduling for soldiers. She is also helping with the Oregon Mass Vaccination Initiative to register those eligible to receive the vaccine.

JHS teacher Dr. Lara Shamieh and Nguyen

ciaran willis ’10

In the past year, Amanda has learned not to take anything for granted. Her family and faith have become more prevalent in her life since the pandemic began and getting to watch Mass online every Sunday has become a cherished time. Amanda has seen a change in her perspectives, responsibilities, gratitude, and faith over the past year.

As 2020 unfolded, Ciaran Willis ’10 watched with curiosity and a critical eye. "What would be the effect of students learning in restricted environments?” wondered Ciaran. Inspired by his time at summer camp and wilderness guiding, Ciaran began to consider the possibility of creating a safe remote learning environment. This idea quickly transformed into “A Place Beyond” – a way for students to stay enrolled in school, live as a community, and grow as individuals while earning their degrees. Two campuses formed Sanborn Western Camps in Florissant, Colorado, and Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott, Arizona. Along with community, participants also found academic support, mentorship and workshops, which nurtured social and emotional health. Fall semester began on Sept. 9, 2020, with 45 students, and the spring brought 105 students between the two sites with 20 returning students. As the possibility of community in the greater world dawns with the vaccine in distribution, Ciaran is looking at ways to continue to create connections while students return to their respective campuses with A Place Beyond in the future. Thanks to the creativity and determination of one Jesuit alum, community safely thrived and contributed to the well-being of many college students during a time of uncertainty and desolation.

OF OTHERS ariana wiltjer ’16 sam wiltjer ’19

mark chesnutt As a front-line health care worker (HCW) during the pandemic, Dr. Mark Chesnutt (Jesuit alumni parent and director of critical care at our local Veterans Administration Hospital) found that his disaster preparedness training prepared him for most, but not all the challenges he faced.

During lockdown, Ariana Wiltjer '16 and Sam Wiltjer '19 wanted to find a way to connect people and resources that could make an impact on the health of the community.

"When one trains for something like this, one hopes they never have to use their skills; I am very thankful that I was well trained," says Mark.

They created NeighborShould, a nonprofit organization that seeks to reduce divides and assist communities in times of need through education, awareness, and access to resources.

Mark, the parent of three alumni (Cameron ’13, Mika ’15, and Jack ’19), and his wife, Asha MD, have been involved with the Jesuit community and the greater Portland community through their careers in the medical field. Mark also served as a crucial medical adviser to Jesuit's administration during the early days of COVID.

NeighborShould's first initiative is focused on spreading awareness and resources for COVID-19 convalescent plasma (CCP). CCP is plasma, or the liquid portion of the blood, from recovered COVID-19 patients. This plasma is rich in antibodies that target the virus responsible for COVID-19.

Mark noted many ways the pandemic impacted HCWs and patients. The pandemic disrupted the communal nature of his ICU: a very close-knit community faced communication challenges created by physical distancing and layers of personal protective equipment, and many ate meals alone instead of gathering in ICU break rooms.

"We decided that increased awareness of the therapy would expand the potential donor pool, and as a result, CCP donations," said Ariana. "We've created an online locator tool with over 1000 blood and plasma donation centers nationwide and begun co-hosting drives with university organizations that have experienced outbreaks."

For patients, COVID took away many families' ability to be with their loved ones during hard times. Hospitals developed creative solutions to foster as much human connection as possible (often using social media or video conferencing). But often, nurses were the only ones physically present during a patient's final moments.

Ariana and Sam do not want NeighborShould's impact to end when the pandemic eases. "We established NeighborShould as a nonprofit so that we could continue to work in areas that we are passionate about beyond the COVID-19 pandemic," said Ariana. "Through our education at Jesuit, we have both developed a passion for social justice and we look forward to growing with NeighborShould."

COVID-19 has changed health care forever. "We will never go back to doing things the way we did before 2020," says Mark. On a positive note, lessons learned include enhanced approaches to communication and more holistic environments for HCWs, patients and families.

Four Alums Honored on

40 under 40

PBJ 2020 List

Each year, the Portland Business Journal selects the most influential young professionals to be honored at the 40 Under 40 ceremony. We want to offer a huge congratulations to four of our alumni for achieving this amazing accomplishment in 2020: Paul Andrews '04, Nora Sheils '98, Afton Walsh '03, and Mike Nierengarten '99. We are in awe of the work you are doing in our community and captivated by how your innovative ideas are shaping our future.

Nora Sheils '98

CEO of Bridal Bliss INC and Co-Founder of Rock Paper Coin, INC "The impact of a Jesuit education doesn't leave you. Outside of intellectual development, my Jesuit experiences in high school and college have challenged me to always do better and shift the focus of my life from myself to others. The relationships formed in my time at Jesuit have had a lasting impression on me and provided me with priceless lifelong friendships."

Mike Nierengarten '99

President & Founder at Obility, Co-Founder at Dregs Vodka "The aspect of Jesuit that has most stuck with me is the expectation to succeed. Every student at Jesuit expected to go to college and pursue their goals. There was never a question of if it would happen, there was always an expectation that it will happen. I have carried that into my current work/life as I take risks in starting or acquiring companies. My expectation is for these companies to be successful."

Paul Andrews '04

Commercial Real Estate Broker, Melvin Mark / Board Director, Oregon Historical Society – Property and Facilities Committee Chair, Executive Committee Member / Board Director, Pioneer Courthouse Square Inc. – Executive Committee Member "The aspect of my Jesuit education that has meant the most to me has been lessons on the incredible value of community; community not only in terms of connection to family and friends, but also community as engagement and service to the greater good. We are all in this together. It truly takes a village to solve a problem. I know things will get better and that together we will get through this uniquely challenging time."

Afton Walsh '03

Director of Community Engagement – Walsh Construction "I am humbled to be honored in the 40 under 40 group. Jesuit was a very special place that taught me the value of community and gave me many opportunities, like leading the October Women's Encounter, to develop the leadership skills I still use today."

Honoring Fr. Larry Robinson, S.J. Fr. Larry Robinson, S.J., a pillar of the Jesuit High School community for five decades, passed away in the early morning of December 30, 2020, at the Sacred Heart Jesuit Center in Los Gatos, California. Fr. Robinson was a Jesuit priest, educator, coach, mentor, colleague, friend, and much more. Though we mourn his passing, let us be grateful for our time with Fr. Robinson and for the life he shared with the Jesuit High community. As we reflect on his life and his remarkable impact on so many of us over the decades at Jesuit, we wanted to share with you a bit of what made Father Robinson so special to the Jesuit community. Fr. Robinson grew up in Tacoma, Washington, with his one sister and three brothers. He attended Bellarmine Prep and graduated in 1950. He subsequently attended Seattle University for two years before heading to the Jesuit Novitiate in Sheridan, Oregon, in 1952 for his novitiate training. "I decided to become a Jesuit priest because at the time it seemed like exactly the right thing for me to do," said Fr. Robinson. "I was very struck by my Jesuit teachers in high school and at Seattle University. I thought, 'I can do that.'"

•

Fr. Robinson earned his degree in philosophy with a minor in history at Gonzaga University in 1958. When it was suggested that Fr. Robinson consider becoming a history teacher, he readily agreed. In 1965, he obtained his master's degree in history at Gonzaga. Fr. Robinson first arrived at Jesuit High School in 1959. For six weeks he worked as a student teacher under Mr. Anthony Via, SJ. Fr. Robinson recalls that those weeks spent with Fr. Via earned him a sparkling "B" on his transcript, and that Via adamantly denies ever recording that grade for his student teacher and longtime friend. In the fall of 1959, Robinson was the only history major available to replace Via, so the "B" made no difference! That inauspicious start led to 39 years in a history classroom. "I always worked very hard at trying to be a good teacher," said Fr. Robinson. "Students don't necessarily remember what I taught them, but they remember me. It was a great learning process for me at the same time." Fr. Robinson's students attest to his passion for teaching: "He spoke with infectious enthusiasm about the events that have shaped our country. It was a story familiar to him, yet he seemed to create it anew for us," says former student and current Jesuit math teacher John Gorman, PhD. '84. "Though we did not know what we would do with our futures, we hoped to do it with as much heart as Fr. Larry Robinson taught us in history." When Jesuit transitioned to coeducation in the fall of 1993, it was business as usual for Fr. Robinson and his brand of teaching. He recalls that one of his female students told her parents that he had a passion for the subject. As the students learned from him, through their questions and observations he was also learning from them. Fr. Robinson was ordained in June 15, 1965. He spent only a few brief periods away from Jesuit High School during the 50 years he served on campus. From 1962 to 1966 he studied Theology in Toronto followed by being Vice Principal at Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma and then his final year of training, tertianship. He taught American history at Georgetown Prep 1976-77, and European History at Xavier College in Melbourne, Australia for one semester in 1987. Fr. Robinson wore many hats at Jesuit. In addition to teaching history until 2003, he taught Latin for one year (1968-69), was the Vice Principal for one year (1971-72), was the head golf coach for five years total, assisted with the coaching of football, basketball and baseball as a scholastic, and was the Athletic Director from 1968-76 and for an additional two years in the 1980s. When Fr. Robinson retired from the classroom in 2003, he took on the task of penning the school's first official history. Jesuit was approaching its 50th year as an institution and it was suggested that Fr. Robinson write a book about the school's first half century. After years of research, writing and editorial work, Fr. Robinson's book, "Honoring the Tradition," appeared in 2009. After that, he did occasional work for the alumni and development offices. Reflecting on his time at Jesuit, Fr. Robinson remarked years ago that "Whatever I have accomplished at Jesuit High over the years, I've always felt that Jesuit has done much more for me."

In Memoriam It is with great sadness that we share the news of Gordon Carrigan's passing.

In Honor of Coach Gordon Carrigan

On April 27, 2021, the world lost a great man who touched the lives of many with his goodness and light. Coach Carrigan was a wonderful educator, coach, mentor, and friend. He wore many hats at Jesuit. Coach Carrigan taught Algebra and PE, was the assistant football coach, and was the head coach of Jesuit's men's basketball program from 1967-1976. For Coach Carrigan's dedication and lifelong commitment to coaching, on and off

Celebrating the Life of Ted Strader ’73 BY PAUL MARSHALL ‘73, DON BISHOP ‘73, BOB KEERINS ‘73, AND MIKE NUGENT ‘73

Our good friend and classmate Ted Strader ’73 passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 13, 2020. He is survived by his family – wife Janet, Allana ’09, and Brett ’12 Strader.

with everything, Ted was willing to try. This willingness to try would serve him well at Jesuit and the rest of his life. Ted Strader had a complete and uncomplicated devotion to Jesuit. He oozed school spirit. One of the great truths about Jesuit is how engaged students become in that experience. Ted, more than any of us, loved his identity with our school.

Ted’s formative years were spent doing what most kids did in the 1960s. He rode bikes around town, explored the lake, and played whatever sport was in season. Ted attended Our Lady of the Lake grade school (class of ’69) and was an altar boy and member of the crosswalk brigade and leaders club. He looked forward to going to Jesuit for high school.

After graduation, Don and Ted created a summer tradition of meeting for a round of golf and dinner. Don remembers, “As Ted disparaged his own golf game around the links, he reflected fondly about our years at Jesuit. He had the most exact memory of the games we played in, the various characters in our class and the memorable moments.”

Ted was blessed with a wonderful mother and father who provided him and his brother Tim ’74 and sister K.C. with a great foundation. Ted possessed an innocence about him, always believing the good in people. He had a quiet determination in whatever he did, whether in school or sports.

Upon his return to Portland after college at Santa Clara, Ted immediately became involved with Jesuit as a founding member of the newly-formed Alumni Council. He was always willing and eager to help in any way he could.

Ted never sought the spotlight, but he always strove to do the best he could. As a student and teammate he was always encouraging, positive and generous. Ted was very coachable and quickly picked up the mechanics of whatever he was doing.

Ted remained loyal to Jesuit over the past 51 years. It is fitting that the guy who never forgot Jesuit will be remembered for having the greatest heart in our class. It is also remarkable that 51 years later almost 20 of his classmates attended his funeral Mass.

At Jesuit, we first came together as friends in the fall of 1969. Our class started with 148 guys, and gathered in early September of our freshman year intent on surviving a rigorous academic program and playing football for John Allen.

We all admired Ted for the good and decent man he was and for his willingness to help others, and his willingness to believe in God. In both words and deeds he was truly a man for others, and will be sorely missed and fondly remembered.

Jesuit was a very different place in 1969. It was all male and staffed by the Jesuits – 23 of them to be exact. Into this testosterone-infused environment strode our friend, Ted Strader. Ted had three main objectives at Jesuit: get good grades, make the varsity football team, and meet girls. The last goal proved almost insurmountable for him at an all-boys school, but, as

the field, he was inducted into Jesuit High School's Hall of Fame in September of 2018. Coach Carrigan will be remembered for his innovation, positivity, being a constant student of the game, his caring nature, and his enduring friendship. We hold the Carrigan family in our prayers and thoughts during this difficult time. May God's love and strength surround them and lift them up. Coach Carrigan previously shared: "My time at Jesuit was the best ten years in my coaching career."

Remembering Fr. Tom McCarthy, S.J. BY BOBBY KEERINS ’73

Fr. Tom McCarthy graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1949. He entered the Jesuits on Sept. 7, 1949, was ordained on June 16, 1962, and professed final Vows on Feb. 2, 1968. Fr. Tom was a Jesuit for 71 years and passed away on Aug. 1, 2020. Our class first met Fr. Tom in the fall of 1971. He taught scripture and contemporary problems, and sold hamburgers, known as “McCarthy Burgers” for a fundraiser. He saved the burger sales funds for a future junior/senior center on campus. In a school of 530 adolescent males, Fr. Tom became a role model for many. He was very amiable and got along well with all the students. To say he was well-liked would be an understatement. Everyone loved and enjoyed his classes. He did develop a reputation for being a bit scatterbrained and people

would often remark that this guy would “live forever” because he never seemed to worry about anything. He did not sweat the “small stuff.” As the years passed after graduation, several class members saw Fr. Tom from time to time, and we invited him to parties, lunch or dinner on occasion. In many ways, he became “the official priest for the Class of 1973.” These gatherings were fun and lighthearted and I recall him mentioning that a person needed to “work on their faith every day.” Tom ended up starting St. Francis and attended to parishioners in far off places like Christmas Valley. He was affable, amiable and well-liked wherever he went. He was close friends with many Jesuit alums and ended up baptizing their kids, and in the past few years their grandkids. People would al-

ways make sure to pick him up a half hour early so that he would not be late for the baptism! The last time I saw Fr. Tom was in January 2020. A classmate had suddenly died in his sleep just short of his 65th birthday. We were in shock and saddened by his passing. After the wake, I gave Fr. Tom a ride home, and I remember Tom saying our friend was at peace and now home with God. He seemed so certain of it. As classmates reflect upon our relationship with Tom and the way he lived, it seems he discerned that God existed. Further, that we should be at peace because God exists. Fr. McCarthy often said, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” He believed that our faith would carry us through both the good as well as the challenging times in our lives. Yes, we take comfort that he lives forever.

A Year of Growth and Discovery A REFLECTION BY OLIVIA BAKER ’16

Some people call 2020 a throwaway year. I can’t help but disagree. Yes, a global pandemic can, without a doubt, be considered a significant challenge. However, as much as I missed restaurant dining, travel, gatherings with friends, and spending far too much time at art shops, I do not think I missed a year of my life. I was both lucky – and unlucky – enough to spend a majority of this time far from home in Spain.

how or what the other side would look like, but deep down I knew it would be right. So, I pulled up my boot straps and made crafts and lesson plans like I’d never done before. I called and FaceTimed my family every day, took long walks by the river, read, wrote, drew, and learned Spanish and French. I made it through the year and will be relocating to Paris for my next chapter. The more I overcome challenges and succeed at what I didn’t think was possible or plausible, the more I want to continue to challenge myself.

I planned my grad trip to walk the Camino de Santiago, but when COVID changed that plan, fate placed me on one of the Camino’s stops for a year instead of just one night. I began teaching English to preschoolers at a Jesuit school in the capital of La Rioja and Logroño. I had always been curious about teaching, and saw this as the perfect opportunity. The children quickly welcomed me in. During a pandemic where travel was limited and my family was far away, that welcome made a tremendous impact.

I don’t think that being in a new country is what made the pandemic period enriching to me. In a time of challenge and isolation, I went through what a lot of people did, just on different soil. It was not the “Spanish experience” of beaches and sangria and dancing, but it was mine, and it was one of the most valuable experiences of my life. That is why the idea of 2020 being a “throwaway year” throws me off. What made it enriching was the strength of human connectedness, a tremendous amount of faith, patience in my path, and my determination to never stop exploring (even if that often meant through books or daydreams or art).

As the days turned into months, it was both lonely and mentally challenging to be living on my own in rural Spain. I was surrounded by the sound of a language not native to me and physically unable to be with my loved ones. I debated going home countless times, almost daily as the winter grew dark and cold and life was limited by lockdowns. One day, a very clear message cut through my fog and I knew that if I pushed through, it would be worth it. I didn't know
