ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011

Join La Salle’s

A current La Salle family recently made a $100,000 matching grant to La Salle High School to support hardware upgrades, enhance our technology infrastructure, and support the Lancer Robotics program. The family has offered a two for one dollar match; that is, for every two dollars La Salle raises between now and June 30, 2012 to build and improve upon its technologic platform, the family will in turn provide a matching dollar.

Here is your chance to have your gift make an even bigger difference to La Salle Here’s how the Technology Match works; A $1,000 gift will trigger an additional $500 in matching funds from the family, resulting in a $1,500 gift to La Salle; a $2,500 gift will generate $1,250 in matching funds, resulting in a $3,750 gift to La Salle; a $5,000 gift will generate $2,500 in matching funds, resulting in a $7,500 gift to improve La Salle’s technologic base and keep us at the leading edge of learning technologies.

While the threshold for matching funds is $1,000, any gift you choose to make to the La Salle Technology Fund will be appreciated, and will help build digital literacy at our School. Remember, your corporate matching gift also counts toward the the La Salle Technology Match Campaign.

The goal of the Technology Match Campaign is to raise at least $300,000 to build upon the excellence of a La Salle education through technologic improvement and innovation.

To make a gift to the La Salle Technology Match, please go to www.lasallehs.org/give.

FROM THE PRESIDENT

matters

La Salle A

nnual Reports are wonderful opportunities to wax eloquent about how financially successful a school has been over the course of the previous twelve months. But they also contain equally wonderful opportunities to reflect on the degree to which a School’s Mission is successfully implemented. Unlike the dollars and cents reports of financial audits and Annual Fund goals achieved, however, “measuring” the Mission is almost always anecdotal and, therefore, harder to extrapolate across an entire population of students and alumni. That having been said, it is helpful to look to examples of how the School’s best efforts to deliver the Mission are present in the lives of the alumni and students entrusted to our care. In this issue of Lancer Magazine, you will read about the stories of five alums who have successfully integrated the vision and values of the Christian Brothers in an eclectic series of experiences, seven students who have achieved remarkable success in diverse areas of interests, and the obituary of a Christian Brother, whose first teaching assignment was at La Salle and who went on to become a central figure in the ongoing challenge of negotiating the rights of Christians in the Holy Land.

It is tempting to dismiss these narratives as vainglorious attempts at “polishing” the School’s “halo” - but when you delve deeply into their individual stories; you can’t help but be astonished by the diversity of their accomplishments…all of which reinforce the Mission’s operating values to:

Learn • Serve • Lead

I was particularly struck by this dynamic when we honored two alums at the schoolwide liturgy on the Feast of All Saints. As a way to reinforce with our students the importance Service plays in the Mission of La Salle, the Student Life Program annually honors two alums who have embraced Service as a career or as a volunteer. I was delighted to see that the two honored at this year’s Liturgy were very familiar to me: Jill (Trousdale) Remelski ’01 and Daniel Healy ’01; both of whom have pursued a career in direct service to the poor and marginalized.* I knew Jill in her capacity as Co-Editor of the Yearbook in her Senior year and I had the privilege of teaching Daniel the Religious Studies course, Justice & Peace in his Junior year.

Coincidentally, both “fell” into their chosen careers by accident. For Jill, it was an internship at the Saint Francis Center - a shelter and service provider for the homeless - while she was an undergraduate at USC. Upon graduation from USC, Jill took a staff position at the Center and, in short order, was made its Executive Director. While at UCLA, Daniel worked with a group called The Hunger Project which served meals at a homeless shelter in West LA; and, while pursuing a graduate degree in Public Health,

LANCER MAGAZINE

Daniel took on an internship with the Violence Prevention Coalition of Greater Los Angeles. He so loved the work that he stayed there. Currently, Daniel coordinates advocacy trainings, conferences and preparation for community meetings that seek to reduce the level of violence in impoverished neighborhoods.

What makes these remarkable young people particularly worthy of mention in this Annual Report is their rather casual identification of their time at La Salle as having had a particularly powerful impact on the lives of service they were destined to pursue. Daniel, for example, specifically sites his work with Director of Student Life, Ed O’Connor, and Director of Service Learning, Tina Bonacci ’94, for their personal encouragement of his interest in community service. For her part, Jill notes the institutional emphasis La Salle puts on service as an expectation rather than a requirement; which enabled students to reflect on how they are actually served in the process of serving others.

None of my colleagues at La Salle expect these remarkable young people to function as exemplars of what we want for every graduate of La Salle to look like. What we do want is for all of our graduates to recognize that God has given us talent and opportunity to become our best selves and to share those talents with others. As you read the various stories of accomplishment and purpose contained in this Annual Report, I encourage you to see them through the same perspective as that of Jill and Daniel - as individuals who have embraced the School’s Mission priority to:

Learn • Serve • Lead

I hope, therefore, when you review the remarkable financial success that La Salle has been fortunate enough to experience during these challenging economic times, that you will not only appreciate why we are worthy of your generous support; but also that you will be able to put faces and names to what we call the La Salle Difference.

Dr. Richard Gray President

FROM THE PRINCIPAL

ideas

Principal A

s I believe most of you know, this academic year will be my last one as principal. I will, however, continue to be a part of the La Salle Community in my new role as Vice President for Mission. Given this upcoming change, I have noticed that as this school year is moving on, I find myself becoming rather nostalgic, especially as specific school events and activities transpire. Two such events were the recent Decade of the ’90s Reunion Weekend and 2011 Homecoming. I will focus my remarks on these two events.

There has been a Homecoming Football Game since 1991 when La Salle fielded its first football team. Until 2004, however, these games were held off-campus with moderate to good attendance.

Then, thankfully, Kohorst Field was developed and our first on-campus Homecoming Game was held in 2004. The participation and involvement of both current students and alumni in this annual event has increased greatly since the game truly came home. It had been one of my hopes and dreams that an on campus Homecoming Game would draw more people, but I honestly did not assume that it would draw as many as it has, especially since the game went to Friday Night Lights. This recent Homecoming event was especially exciting and moving because it came on the heels of us honoring the 1991 Football Team – our first football team – during the ’90s reunion weekend ceremonies. La Salle’s founding football coach, Lew Stueck, kindly joined his team for that event – I was amused that Lew looked to be in better shape than some of his players, a point I gleefully pointed out to my past students. During the Reunion activities, we also honored our 1996 State Championship Baseball Team with their coach Brian Miller ’79. We are fortunate that Brian is still a distinguished member of our faculty.

The 2011 Homecoming Game was a great evening for our current and past students and for our whole Lasallian Community. The Cheerleaders were spectacular in their routines, the Pep Band was excellent and appropriately loud, the members of the Homecoming Court were handsome and beautiful in their black & white attire and the Drum Line electrified the crowd. The fact that both the JV and Varsity football teams were victorious made it especially sweet.

At both events, I very enjoyably spent much time speaking to graduates. Many were the alums that I had been honored and blessed to come to personally know and to teach going back to the beginning of my time at La Salle in 1985. In numerous cases, the alums introduced me to their spouses and children and I was able to catch up with them.

The reality is that in many cases the children of those I taught are now current students in the school – yes, I am that old.

For me, the joy and beauty of events like Homecoming and the ’90s Reunion Weekend comes from the conversations and the “do-you-remember-when” questions that I have with our graduates. The ’90s Reunion Weekend was uniquely special for me because both of my daughters and their high school friends were present since they are members of the Classes of ’94 and ’97. The Reunion Party was also special because it brought back past teachers and colleagues like my predecessor Philip Clarke – the man responsible for the enormous gains and growth that La Salle experienced during the ’90s.

This growingly nostalgic side of me cannot help but share with our current parents the importance of attending school events with their students. Time flies by, a point that I repeatedly heard at both the Reunion and at Homecoming.

Current parents, in most cases you will not be “with” your sons or daughters in their college years, certainly not in the same ways that you can now be with them during their high school years. Do not let the current opportunities slip by.

We often boast, and I think appropriately so, that La Salle has and is about being like family. These two recent events mingled our current students and families with our past students and families – it does not get much better than that!

Patrick Bonacci, AFSC Principal

HOMECOMING

Sophomore running back, Bryce Harvey picks up yardage against the Stars.

a Salle High School students had the opportunity to experience entertainment both on and off Kohorst Field for Homecoming Week. The Student Life team worked throughout the summer to bring the magic of Hollywood and Broadway to campus for the students. This magic culminated into an array of themed days based on Hollywood and Broadway classics. Students dressed up as True Grit and Oklahoma characters on Western Day, and could be seen adorned in leis and sarongs in homage to South Pacific the next day. The Student Life team also worked on lunchtime activities, which included Quidditch – from Harry Potter – and movie trivia.

The Homecoming Court found themselves stars in the rally before the big game. In accordance with the theme, the Court members performed numbers from movies and plays including Wicked,

High School Musical, and Grease. The performances included not only the Court members, but also the band, cheerleaders, and boys basketball team. Watching the school come together at the rally further motivated the student body to come watch the Lancer football team compete that night against Mary Star of the Sea High School.

At the football game, Kelly Ikeda ’12 and Connor Jenkins ’12 were crowned Homecoming Queen and King. With their families by their sides, the King and Queen wore their crowns in front of the crowd and cheered the Lancers on during the second half. And like a movie ending, the Lancers ended their search for a win by defeating the Stars 49-20. After an exciting game and dance put on by the Junior Class Council, Homecoming 2011 was a wrap!

NEIL KALRA ’00 and NATALIE CALDERON ’03 were presented with the 10th Battalion Alumni Athletic Award for their athletic accomplishments at La Salle and beyond at half-time during the Homecoming Football Game on October 28, 2011.

NEIL KALRA ’00 started his running career during his freshman year when he walked on to the track team. He learned early that he was significantly better at the long distance events, and with Coaches Norris’ and Riley’s persuasion, signed up for the 1 mile and 2 mile races. After some success in his freshman year, he went out for cross-country his sophomore year. For the next three years his running career flourished. He was a threetime league champion in track, league champion in cross-country, competed in cross-country at state, and was All-State in cross-country his senior year finishing 7th in California in Division IV.

Neil took his success from high school and continued running on the cross-country and track teams at UC San Diego. Neil helped the Tritons to berths in the NCAA Cross Country National Championship in both 2001 and 2003 and finished 4th at the 2003 CCAA Championships, earning AllCCAA honors. His success continued on the track winning the 5,000 meter race at the Steve Scott Invitational and placing 3rd at the California/Nevada State Championships where he also earned CCAA Athlete of the Week honors.

At the end of his four years, Neil had achieved All-Conference and All-Regional awards in cross-country, and finished 3rd in the 5000 at the California State Meet. He was also named Scholar Athlete of the Year by UCSD and the California Collegiate Athletic Association Male ScholarAthlete of the Year.

Neil graduated from UC San Diego in 2004 with a degree in Biology and went on to medical school at UC Irvine.

He returned to UC San Diego after medical school to complete his residency in Internal Medicine. He completed his training in June 2011 and now works as a hospitalist at Scripps Hospital in San Diego.

Natalie Calderon ’03 and Neil Kalra ’00

NATALIE CALDERON ’03 was a true athlete during her four years at La

Salle. She played soccer, volleyball and ran cross country, but she excelled in track and field setting school records in the long jump, triple jump and multiple school relay records. Natalie played an integral role in the girls’ track and field CIF championship in 2000 and again in 2002 and was also a member of the girls’ soccer team that tied for the CIF championship in 2002. Natalie’s successful athletic career at La Salle led her to be inducted into the Track and Field Hall of Fame and to receive the Girls’ Athlete of the Year Scholarship Award at graduation.

Natalie attended St. Mary’s College where she took a 2 ½ year hiatus from athletics to focus on academics and social justice work. However, with a change in her major, Natalie transferred to the University of Redlands, where her track and field skills were revived. During the 2006 season, she won the SCIAC conference triple jump championship and led her fellow teammates in winning the women’s 4x100 meter relay. In 2008, she had the season of a lifetime winning the 100 meter dash, 100 meter high hurdles, 200 meter dash, long jump, triple jump, and helped her team win the 4x400 meter relay and place second in the 4x100 meter relay. This spectacular performance led to the University of Redland’s first women’s track and field SCIAC championship since 1978.

In Natalie’s 3 seasons of collegiate track and field, she made 3 trips to the Division III NCAA Championships: 2006 for triple jump, 2007 for long jump (1st place), triple jump (4th place), and 100m (12th); 2008 for long jump (1st place) and triple jump (1st place) which earned her the NCAA Division III Field Athlete of the meet.

Throughout her college track and field career, Natalie received numerous awards and accolades including: SCIAC Track and Field Female Athlete of the Year, the U.S Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Western Region Field Athlete of the Year in 2007 and 2008, being named to the College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All –America First Team for Track & Field and Cross Country.

At the end of Natalie’s collegiate career, she was just short of meeting the minimum requirements to compete at the 2008 US Olympic Track and Field Trials. She has hopes of one day returning to the track after completing her joint clinical doctorate degree in audiology at San Diego State University-UC San Diego.

RACES 90 YARDS IN RUN OF LIFETIME

THE ROBOTICS TEAM IS ON THE BALL

By John Blackstock ’67 with Roy Chang, Robotics Instructor

T

he Lancers led 21-0 half way through the third quarter over the visiting Village Christian Crusaders while attempting to record their first victory since November 2009.

La Salle, which opened the season ranked No. 5 in the CIF Northwest Division, played an outstanding first half, scoring in the first quarter on a one-yard Kyle Lewis run. Then Israel Lacy, who led the Lancers with 84 yards on 12 carries, scored on a seven-yard run.

The tough Lancer defense was anchored by lineman Matt Barrero ’12 who recovered a fumble and returned it 90 yards for a touchdown, making the score 20-0. “All I could think about was holding onto the ball,” recounted the 240 lb senior. “I knew I was going to be tackled any second, but when the 10 yard line approached I just kicked it into gear because a touchdown would be so great!”

Regrettably, Matt, who recorded nine tackles for the game, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the waning minutes of the game as the Crusaders quarterback completed his third touchdown in the second half to hand the Lancers a 26-21 nonleague loss to open the season. “If I had to miss the season, I guess going out with a memory of a lifetime is OK,” he said, but he did not miss a game. He assisted the defensive coordinator signaling plays from the sidelines the entire season.

RACHEL HAS A KICK

J

unior Rachel Albright was the varsity football team’s field goal and PAT kicker this season. She began her football career as a sophomore on the JV team with an impressive 35 yard field goal against Don Bosco High School in 2010 and finished this year 2-3 in field goal attempts and 20 PAT’s. She was number three in overall scoring with 23 points.

In addition to football, she plays soccer, travel softball and Lancer softball where she is a starting pitcher and outfielder.

A

creative and clever idea came from La Salle’s new Athletic Director, Anthony Harris. He suggested that one of La Salle’s robots hand the opening game ball to the referees. The robot used was the same robot the students re-created in just eight hours on their fateful trip to the VEX Robotics World Championships in Orlando Florida last April. *Their original robot was lost en route and a frantic morning ensued as they created a “begged and borrowed-parts” robot. They named it Baby-bot.

Harris’ request was a mechanical challenge as the loose artificial turf and rubber particle “sand” gunked-up the gears, but Andrew Lucas ’13 recalculated the gearing and was able to drive it to mid-field and hand the ball to the referees before the coin toss at the first game of the season on September 2. The referees were clearly unsure what they should do as the mechanical arms rose up to offer them the game ball. Once the referee accepted the game ball from Baby-bot, Andrew turned it around and the crowd cheered as the robot slowly moved off the field. *See the Robotics Team article “Team 8888, the Future in Now,” in the Spring/Summer 2011 issue of Lancer Magazine.

a Salle’s march to the CIF Championship game and State playoffs began in earnest with the 3-0 drubbing of Bishop Montgomery High School to complete the Lady Lancers second undefeated Del Rey league championship in as many years.

To begin their CIF Division 2AA championship quest, the Lancers travelled to Ventura and defeated St. Bonaventure 3-0.

In the second round, freshman Haley DeSales hit a team-high 19 kills to lead the Lancers to victory over the West Covina South Hills Huskies, 3-1.

The freshman outside hitter also recorded a teamhigh five aces and 12 digs. Katherine Haderlein finished with an amazing 46 assists.

The Lancers defeated Mission Viejo in the quarterfinals 3-2 on the strength of DeSales’ 17 kills. Riley Spriesterbach added 10 kills and Diamond Ridley-Pierce and teammates Emily Robertson and Katrina Palffy finished with nine kills each.

The semifinal game saw the Lancer beat South Torrance 3-0. Junior Jessica Kennedy delivered a flaming service ace to punctuate a 25-16, 25-17, 25-23 victory over top-seeded South Torrance High School (30-6). A frantic bus ride, slogging through rush-hour traffic placed the Lancers

25 minutes late for the start of the game.

La Salle was not phased by its late arrival, or by the energized South Torrance crowd in its first match in their newly renovated gym.

“Our first game cannot be our warm up,” said first-year Head Coach Tiare Tuitama.

The Lancers came out inspired, using a 7-0 run to turn a 16-15 lead into a commanding 23-15 advantage in Game 1. Senior middle blocker Diamond Ridley-Pierce had a stretch with five consecutive points (three blocks in a row, then two kills) that turned the momentum for La Salle.

Following a tight win in Game 2, La Salle rallied from a 21-18 deficit to close out Game 3. “We made the semis last year, but we really wanted to do this for the seniors. We knew it meant a lot to them.”

DeSales said. “We just played out of our minds.” DeSales led La Salle with 10 kills.

Katrina Palffy added nine kills, Riley Spriesterbach had seven kills and two aces and Ridley-Pierce had six kills and seven blocks. Katherine Haderlein had two aces, two blocks and 29 assists. Knop had 26 digs.

La Salle’s spirited student section rushed the court as the Lancers celebrated their first trip to a CIF final since its last appearance in 2005. “Last year we did not make it past the semis, so this was our rebuttal. We were not ready to lose,” Kennedy said.

The entire CIF Division 2AA Championship game with Glendora St. Lucy’s was so tight either team could have won, but the Lancers were unable to convert a game point on six occasions, and ultimately were swept by the second-seeded Regents, 25-18, 30-28, 31-29, at Cypress College.

“We just couldn’t finish our points,” said senior blocker Diamond Ridley-Pierce. “We didn’t press ourselves enough.”

“I think we’re a mirror image of each other,” said St. Lucy’s head coach Sean Douglas. “It was such a great volleyball game to watch. It wasn’t one player against another, it was six on six.”

Despite the loss, La Salle earned a 4th seed in the CIF State tournament and defeated the Pacific Palisades Pacific Charter Dolphins 3-2 in the first round of the CIF State playoffs. Palffy finished with 18 kills as La Salle scored 11 of the final 12 points in game 3.

The girls were poised for another tough game against top-seeded La Costa Canyon of Carlsbad, but did not succeed as Canyon scored a 25-21, 25-18, 27-29, 25-19 victory. La Salle finished the season 29-6-1.

ALUMNI PROFILE

Tells a Great Story A

dream to be a writer was kindled in the third grade by his teacher, Mrs. Williams. John Archambault ’77 tells the story about his favorite teacher at St. Rita School in Sierra Madre, who told him if he wanted to be a writer, he had to be a reader first.

Years later, his notion came to fruition when his first book was published. “It literally was a dream come true,” he told me after his presentation to the Creative Writing Class at La Salle in September. Kristen Schultz ’98, Director of Alumni Relations, set up this presentation in Mr. Jim Poyner’s Creative Writing class as part of La Salle’s new Alumni Career Mentor Program which connects students with alumni who are willing to share valuable career experiences, information and industry insights.

LANCER MAGAZINE

By John Blackstock ’67

“I took Mrs. Williams’ advice and became a voracious reader, albeit of young adult books,” John continued. And the first books he read; Charlotte’s Web, The Red Pony and The Fern in the Forest left their mark. “She must have thought I had some kind of talent since she enrolled me into a creative writing class. There I was riding my Stingray to Wilson Junior High each weekend for a writing class that I just loved!”

In 1973, John entered La Salle. He enjoyed his foray into the mud pit during orientation, the great class versus class speedball games, English class and Lancer basketball. But he found his real athletic talents running on the local cross country courses and the brick-dust tracks where he lettered in each sport three times. He

was also a member of the National Honor Society and the California Scholarship Federation. Another part of the mid 70s routine at La Salle was the 4-1-4 system where students took four courses from September to December, one course in January and four courses from February through May. “The January term was really an exercise in personal responsibility,” John said. He believes it gave a student the opportunity to cultivate his talents and discover his passions. During John’s junior year, he decided he wanted to get serious about writing and asked Les Schult, La Salle’s erstwhile drafting teacher and Development Director, his advice. “Well, if you want to write, write for the paper.” Les immediately picked up the phone and called Wendy Tendy, the editor of the Pasadena StarNews and told her he had a young writer that wanted to intern at the paper. “Has he written for the school paper?” she asked. “You’ve written stuff right?” asked Les, hedging the fact that John was not even on The Lance staff. “Right,” he said and thus, John became the very first Star-News intern. His first assignment was reporting on a large shark caught off the coast near Long Beach. The story was an involved and adjective-laded account of a father and son working together against the sea and the two-hour struggle to land the behemoth. Wendy took one look at his six paragraphs, slashed red ink across four and told him “It’s who, what, why, where and when. This is a newspaper, not creative writing class!” That still did not stop the thrill of seeing his byline accompanying the small article; “John Archambault, special correspondent. Now that had a nice ring to it,” he said with a smile.

Later, John wrangled front-page coverage in the Star-News for the critically acclaimed and massive theater presentation of “Godspell” under the big top at La Salle. This impressed his teachers, especially Brother Donald Mansir, FSC, moderator of the drama club, glee club and The Lance newspaper.

Then lightning struck. John was now working on Sundays as assistant to the Sunday Edition editor, a two-man skeleton crew.

A call came in announcing the crash of a helicopter on the 210 freeway. The editor looked at John and said, “You cover this stuff right?” “Sure,” said John, having never gone out on assignment. So he grabbed his bike, peddled the few blocks to the freeway and got numerous eyewitness accounts and photos. The next day his article and photos were front-page news. The story was also picked up by the Associated Press and placed on the worldwide wire. Now he was a 17-year-old intern with a front-page national story.

When John returned to school, Brother Donald asked one question. “OK, you’re either the editor of the newspaper or yearbook?” John chose The Lance and had a great time writing, editing, managing and “putting the paper to bed” each month. The printing of The Lance took place at the same printing house as other local school newspapers. There John was able to meet with, critique, and exchange ideas with the area editors. “Our paper looked pretty good and I felt like a real newspaper man then,” he said.

That summer, in the midst of Jimmy Carter’s presidency, John was first to grab the Star News’ Associated Press ticker-tape and read that a couple of young men whose sailboat had run aground in Cuban waters and were held as spies, had been released. John looked at the names and said, “I know this guy!” Coincidentally, it was John’s cousin who had been released. He was able to get a call in and met secretly with him avoiding other reporters. “I got the exclusive inside story of their 18 months in captivity.” He also got a front-page byline again and a national pick-up by all the news outlets.

“Did you ever feel that things learned and dreamed in the third grade just seem to stay with you forever? I realized then that anything we can imagine is possible if we become who we think we can become.”

These were heady times for the La Salle graduate. “La Salle truly was a college prep school,” he notes.“The Brothers wanted you to learn by doing and gave you a lot of space to succeed. They taught us to think, and I’m really thankful for that.”

Recently John has turned to the mix of music and words.“Melody and song carry words along,” sings John. He invites children and teachers to “float along on a river of language where music and poetry are intertwined for fluent and joyous language absorption and appreciation.”

Some of the titles are: I Love the Mountains, Turtle Song, Grandmother’s Garden, The Birth of a Whale, Freedom’s Dream and several titles devoted to singable, readable Mother Goose.

John also has become fascinated with brain research involving the power of music, most notably The Mozart Effect by Don G. Campbell. “We all know that kids love music but studies show that music may strengthen the mind, aiding learning and memory.” To that end, John has six music compilations on CD available through Youngheart Music performed with British recording artist and partner, David Plummer. Titles include Painting My World and Dancing on the Moon.

Several of his books have won awards including Parent’s Choice, ALA Notable Children’s book, Kentucky Blue Grass, and the American Library Association awards. Chicka Chicka Boom Boom was recently chosen to be included in the 21st Century Literature Collection along with such famous titles as Curious George and Madeline. John’s works have appeared as featured selections on the PBS shows “Reading Rainbow” and “Storytime.”

A friend wrote in his 1977 Centurion yearbook “You are going to write the ’Great American Novel.’” “I’m pretty busy now, but I’d like to try a novel someday,” he says. “But telling stories is a great passion of mine and La Salle helped me find my passion.

I’ll always be grateful.”

a Salle High School is a charter member of the Science National Honor Society. La Salle is one of the first ten high schools in California to receive this distinction. The Science National Honor Society recognizes students who have demonstrated a proficiency in the pursuit of educational excellence in the field of science. Only 192 high schools nationwide hold a charter in the SNHS.

“This society gives us the opportunity to reward students who are working at a very high level in science,” said Elizabeth Mullen, La Salle’s SNHS co-moderator. “The Seniors Aleen Mankerian and Zhenni Zhu club officers and selected members are required to do research, write papers, create prepare to review a science experiment. charts, displays and make presentations that are virtually college level.” Mullen continued to say that secondary schools can no longer assume that the basic high school classes will support young people in the future. “With the advances in technology and science, our students are looking at a world that is changing day-by-day. We need young Americans that can take advantages of these new technologies.”

Membership in the SNHS is initiated by student application during the fall of both their junior and senior years. Eligibility requires that a member be enrolled in at least one honors or Advanced Placement science class, at least one second year honors or Advanced Placement science class during or prior to the twelfth grade year.

A member must maintain a B+ average (3.5 on a 4.0 scale) across all science courses and complete 15 hours of tutoring in science during both the junior and senior years. These hours of tutoring service are acceptable for service requirements met for membership in CSF and/or NHS.

La Salle believes we need to look at the future possibilities in science for our students. “The Science National Honor Society is a great vehicle to help our high science achievers reach the next academic level as they prepare to go off to college,” said Principal Pat Bonacci, AFSC.

A SNHS gold seal will be placed on the diploma of students who complete the membership requirements for the Science National Honor Society and the graduate will wear the purple, green and gold honor cord at graduation ceremonies to commemorate their membership in the new Science National Honor Society.

Who Knew?

The Ranch and La Salle The School was built in the middle of a ranch named for an amazing and unique man

By John Blackstock ’67

fter riding our bikes as far as we could up Michillinda Avenue, past the brand new red brick high school on the corner of Sierra Madre Boulevard and Michillinda, we would take off through the brush and over vacant lots into the foothills, looking for the elusive and mythical ponds of Hastings Ranch. In the early part of the last century, Hastings Ranch had risen to a spectacular sort of fame. Unaware of this deep history near La Salle, we blithely rode across Star Touch Drive and proceeded down Hastings Ranch Drive to Sierra Madre and finally passed by La Salle, again. The School was brand new in 1957 and was a place that would later become our home away from home. We could not find any remains of the Hastings Ranch house that was destroyed by fire in 1928 and further leveled when the Army used it for target practice in the 1940s.

But today, the School sits in the midst of an amazing piece of history.

In the 1800s. Rancho San Pasqual, which stretched from the Arroyo to what is now South Pasadena, Pasadena, and Altadena and probably included all or part of the Hastings Ranch, had a tenuous beginning. Successive owners lost title because they failed to sustain the conditions of their grant. But even when the ranch fortunes were good the land lying next to the foothills was considered worthless. So little value was attached to it that five years after the founding of Pasadena, the city fathers voted to get rid of all such useless property at $5 an acre,“if a buyer can be found.”

Charles Cook Hasting aboard his surrey, circa 1919.

Charles Cook Hastings

Charles C. Hastings was brought up in New York and was 17 years old when he embarked to sail around Cape Horn to California. Having ample funds, he outfitted himself before setting out to prospect in the Sutter’s Creek gold fields. In short order, 34

Cook decided it was easier to earn money above ground than dig it out. He promptly sold his equipment and proceeded to open a store to outfit and provision miners. Soon, Hastings owned four “Hastings” stores and managed them so well, he was able to retire

independently wealthy, at the age of 24. He continued to travel back and, forth across the continent until, in 1882, having learned that the climate near Sierra Madre was beneficial for people with respiratory trouble, he bought “Mesa Alta Rancho” from the

Chapman Family of Pasadena at the then exorbitant price of $7 an acre. Chinese laborers were at once put to work planting 300 acres with grape vines; plans for his mansion and carriage house were drawn up.

As soon as the first rooms were completed, Hastings and his ranch manager moved in.

Unfortunately, the winter was harsh, wet and cold and ironically Hastings become the victim of a respiratory illness from which he never fully recovered and contributed to his death in 1884 at the age of 52.

unusual specimens of plants and trees and populated the ranch with peacocks, pheasants, cats, dogs and champion horses.

The Hastings, both father and son, were unquestionably eccentric and dynamic pioneers.Young Hastings definitely believed that, since he had inherited his house unfinished, it should remain this way, and so firm was his conviction that walls were often torn down before a room was half built—a quirk the carpenter and stonemason enjoyed as they were permanently on the payroll.

What’s more, he refused to subscribe to charities but half his workmen had been affected by lung disorders and were allowed to work as their health permitted. He bought and equipped a stagecoach with a stove and all kinds of provisions, but never used it.

He imported from France a car that was never driven. He had a room full of carved wooden owls and a bathtub in which the water rose from an opening at the foot without the usual vulgar, Victorian pipes.

Plentiful as they were, dogs, cats, carp, plants, flowers, all played second fiddle to the junior Hastings’ unabashed passion for horses. His favorite breed was the English Hackney and he at one time owned 100 head of these, among which, were the Chicago Fair prize winners which he had had shipped to California in 1893. It is recorded that he paid $20,000 for a chestnut stallion—a colossal price tag for a horse at the end of the 1800s. From the time of its inauguration in 1889, the Tournament of Roses regularly showed a Hastings entry. His absorption with horses extended to accompanying equipment which embraced every kind of wagon, carriage or coach an animal could draw.

Eccentric Mr. Hastings imported one of the first automobiles from France…but never drove it!

Charles Houston Hastings

The death of their father left 1,100 acres of land, a half-finished mansion, and furnishings from the four corners of the world in the hands of a 17-year-old boy, and his l3-year-old sister, Lizzie. Finally, Charles H. Hastings, assumed full responsibility for the land on his 21st birthday. He had not lived in California for any length of time except for one winter when he was very young and attended school in Sierra Madre. Whether or not in anticipation of his future as a grower and rancher, young Hastings specialized in horticulture at Cornell University and developed great interest in rare and exotic plants. He began importing 73 years after Charles Hastings established his ranch, construction began on La Salle High School in 1955.

Since Hastings had not entirely relinquished his Eastern interests, mail was important, and the operation of such a sizeable endeavor required a continual flow of supplies of every variety. Postal carriers would fly over the ranch house and drop the mail in the yard until complaints from the neighbors (among them a family friend named Herbert Hoover who would later became famous in Washington) that “they disliked being on an aerial arterial,”so the fly-by mail drops were abandoned. However, Hastings himself cancelled his contract leasing some of his “bottom” land to Sierra Aircraft when one of its pilots landed his plane on the back of a Hastings horse, cracking the plane in half but, unbelievably, not killing the horse.

The airfield, which was located where the Sears department store is today, was plowed and returned to grazing land.

On the afternoon of February 16, 1928, Mr. Hastings set out by streetcar for Los Angeles. He was contacted at the Lamanda Park station and notified that his home was on fire. He reached the ranch only to witness the last of the inferno that completely consumed his house. Hastings never again had the energy to rebuild his mansion and the ranch fell into a state of disrepair and its operation was left to managers.

he street sign at the corner of Michillinda Avenue and Sierra Madre Boulevard, must be seered into every Lancer’s mind because we all crossed that corner, under that street sign, hundreds of times on our way to Albertsons or originally, the Shopping Bag market across the street. Some of us in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s even headed up the hill to Alverno Heights Academy from that corner.

Michillinda Avenue, in northeast Pasadena, basically marks the easternmost boundary of the city. Michillinda starts at its south end at Huntington Drive and continues north through Hastings Ranch to a terminus at the base of the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains at the intersection of Carriage House Road. It has a total length of just under 3 miles.

I have always wondered how that unusual name came about. Local legend believes that Charles Cook Hastings bought 1,100 acres of land and established Hastings Ranch and named the street after his two children, Michael and Linda in 1882.

Another source of the name has been attributed to a compilation of the names of three states: Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. A man named Forbes, who laid out an early addition to Pasadena, was the son of one of the founders of an association of summer cottages in Michigan for which the name was created in the 1890s, originally hyphenated Mich-Ill-Inda. He may have named the street in the early part of the century.

The land was subdivided into luxury housing tracts. In the late 1940s, about 600 homes were built in the lower Hastings tract; in the early 1950s, 800 houses were constructed by Coronet Homes, Inc.; and in the early 1960s, the upper portion of the ranch was

Just before the out break of World War II, the ranch, now surrounded by cottages and homes was proposed as the Pasadena University site, but following the death of Charles Houston Hastings in 1942, the ranch was sold by the Hastings Foundation to a syndicate for $1,175,000.

Today, Hastings is best remem bered for his pioneering and exotic ranch. But he also left most of his wealth as a permanent trust to underwrite the study of the cause and cure of tuberculosis. That Hastings’ land should have kept his name is appropriate recognition for a man who lent such color to this bit of California real estate.

This article was inspired by Alan Sielen ’67, who presented a comprehensive paper on Hastings Ranch during the At Home series of the Pasadena Museum of History in 2009. Period photographs, newspaper clippings and magazine articles were also provided for research by the Museum.

Juniorher“worms” way into Canadian

film festival

By Lou Johnston, Dean of Students

S

tephanie Delazari, a junior at La Salle, has one dream she is working hard to fulfill and that is to be an animation filmmaker. She took a huge step towards that realization when she won a second-place Honorable Mention Award at the prestigious Ottawa International Animation Film Festival in September.

Stephanie and her mother were invited to attend the four-day festival where Stephanie’s animated film, Birds Walking was to be screened and judged.The film that was noted “for its refreshing sense of humour” is about a worm who thinks he is attending a worm convention but instead mistakenly finds himself smack-in-themiddle of a convention being attended by a large flock of birds. Stephanie was encouraged by her teachers, Ellen Slatkin P’02 and Jude Lucas. “They gave me inspiration and guidance during the movie making process. They encouraged me to develop my character’s animation and perhaps create a film.” She chuckled and said, “I didn’t know where to take the worm and bird characters so I just went forward and created a fun film. Just like the worm in my film does, but without the happy ending.”

Stephanie, a graduate of Saint Dominic’s School in Eagle Rock, began to draw and animate when she was ten years old and was the youngest of the filmmakers from around the world to be invited to the competition. To be the youngest entry in the competition is remarkable, but to win an Honorable Mention is fantastic. “It was the most amazing experience of my life, so far,” she quips.

“Up at dawn. Watch films all day and night, then off to bed at 1:00am. But the real cool thing was I got to make friends with all these animators from around the world. I was so lucky to be invited to this film festival.”

Stephanie was drawn to La Salle’s Art Department because of its reputation in the San Gabriel Valley she says.

Birds Walking is Stephanie’s first animated film but it will not be her last.

Along with her school work at La Salle, Stephanie is currently attending the CalArts Community Arts Program (CAP) three nights a week and wants to pursue a career in character design, editing, and directing animated films.

Bowdien “Bubba” Derby

Bowdien “Bubba” Derby, an All-league and All-CIF pitcher and fielder signed with San Diego State. SDSU’s Baseball Head Coach, Tony Gwynn, intends to use Derby as a utility fielder and a relief or closing pitcher. “I loved the campus and the Aztec coaches. They really made me feel at home down there. I think I may even get some starting time next year,” Derby said. After two years playing football and soccer he knew that baseball was his real focus. He throws a 90+ mph fastball and had a record of 10-1 in 2011 with a 0.94 ERA. Interestingly, Bowdien prefers to play shortstop and batted .435 with three home runs last year.

He is active in Student Life, Phi Alpha Chi service club and was a Student Ambassador.

“La Salle really helped me grow as a person, intellectually and athletically. I was a shy, little freshman and now I know every one in my class. I’m looking forward to the 2012 season and I think we have a real shot at a title this year.” He continues, “It feels like family on the team.

You can talk to Coach Harry (Agajanian) about anything and the other coaches, especially JC Fernandez, are great with techniques, conditioning and are wily tacticians.” He intends to major in Business Administration and Criminology at UCSD. Lancer All-League softball stalwart, Colleen McWilliams signed a letter of intent to attend Marist College in New York on a full athletic scholarship. McWilliams led the Lancers to the CIF-SS Division IV championship in 2009 and hopes to take the Lancers there again this May. She credits Mark Schuster P’11 (coach of Velocity, her club travel team) with guiding and

preparing her for a college career and her La Salle coaches, Mike Harper and Rich Diaz for her high school success. McWilliams chose Marist because of its academic background, but was also pleased to become part of a great Division I softball program. She hopes to split her playing time at first base and the outfield.

“It will be fun to travel and experience all the new things that going to college on the east coast offers.” She said, and then laughed and exclaimed, “I’ve definitely bulked up my wardrobe!”

Colleen, a member of the 2009 CIF champion team says, “That championship game is one of my greatest memories and we want to do it again. I’m so thankful for the sacrifices my family has made for softball and I think it may have paid off.” She says, she is also grateful for her teachers and administrators at La Salle.

They gave me a great education and I can truly call many of them my friend.” An active member of Student Life, Mock Trial and

Diamond Ridley-Pierce is an All-League middle setter who has signed with the University of Northern Colorado. Ridley-Pierce led the Lady Lancers to two consecutive undefeated league championships in the Del Rey League and went to the CIF Division 2AA finals. “What’s amazing is that I didn’t even know how to play volleyball as a freshman, and I only played two or three games as a sophomore, but I played club volleyball that summer and I really fell in love with the game. I’ve worked pretty hard,” continued the 6’2” senior. “I tried to get better every day. Plus we had an amazing team this year too.” She led the team and the CIF in blocked shots. She never really thought about an athletic scholarship until she heard from a few colleges after a tournament in Florida last summer. She believes playing for the UNC Bears will be wonderful and says it is a beautiful campus with a great volleyball program in the Big Sky Conference. Ridley-Pierce will be studying International Business next fall at UNC.

CONVOCATION HONORS LA SALLE FACULTY

DesHARNAIS & BROTHER DeSALES Celebrate 25 Years of Teaching

On October 4, the Annual Lasallian Faculty Convocation celebrated the contributions of the entire faculty to La Salle. Principal Patrick Bonacci, AFSC presented commemorative gifts for dedicated years of service to the faculty and staff. Principal Bonacci’s presentation text follows.

25 YEARS OF SERVICE

Donald DesHarnais – Donald has been our go-to-guru for all

things related to our academic use of technology for all of his 25 years here. It was he who brought to our use the earliest versions of our electronic grade books – and scheduling on the computer – I was doing it by hand with magnets and markers on a white board before Donald taught us how to schedule with software. He did this in his past role as Dean of Studies and he still helps coordinate this today. When our power grade crashes we all run to him to fix the problem – usually with me in the front of the line. He led us through a very successful WCEA process for at least the 4th time here with me and he continues to monitor our action plan.

LANCER MAGAZINE

Brother DeSales Benning, FSC – On the faculty side – only Brother DeSales and our Mr. La Salle, John Ring, were here before I joined the school. I caught up with Brother in my years here because he left us for three years while he sojourned for the District in Arizona and Fresno. He is the energizer bunny – always moving, always active, always involved with us and with the students that he truly loves. When others – like me – ask to take a step back in responsibilities, he asks to take on another teaching class. We have been blessed to be able for these 25 years to witness his living out his vows as a Brother –vows he took some 55 years ago. On a daily basis, we witness his zeal and faith and because of this our life and our faith are enhanced because of his role modeling. In all aspects, he is our visible animator of the true Spirit of Saint La Salle – he is without equal on this.

20 YEARS OF SERVICE

Jenné A. Hakanen – When I see Jenné, I see a true friend as well as a trusted colleague and an exemplary teacher– I have walked with her from her first days here, went to her wedding, watched her as she and Eric have nurtured and raised their lovely and wonderful

daughters – and now, full circle, I have the privilege to teach her daughter just as she taught mine. She joined us at a time when we were making the most significant change in the culture of this school since the school’s founding – we were moving to being a co-ed school. There is no way to overstate the essential role Jenné played in this transition – she immediately became a role model and confidant for our first girl students. She is a fantastic teacher and motivator and when you ask her peers or our students or parents about her commitment to her students - she is consistently placed in the top spots of everyone’s list.

Kaelyn Silva – Like Jenné, Kaelyn joined us at the crucial time when were transforming the culture of the school with the addition of young ladies. What many of you may not know is that Kaelyn was directly responsible for bringing immediate acclaim and creditability to our newly emerging girl’s athletic program as the head coach of our soccer team. As we were establishing ourselves as a school that was truly moving from being an all boys school to one that was not just accepting girls but was in fact embracing girls into our community – the consistent successes of the soccer teams Kaelyn coached were instrumental in placing our girl’s athletic programs on par with all of the girl’s only schools in our valley. She also moved the PE Department from one that was basically calisthentics and games to one that was instructing our students in life skills through an established PE curriculum.

Awarded the Lasallian Educator Medallion for 2011

By Patrick Bonacci, AFSC, Principal

S

aint La Salle was an innovative educator who initiated many teaching methodologies that we take for granted today; teaching more than one student at a time, and teaching in the language of the home country (instead of Latin), are two examples. Yet, even though he instructed his early teachers, (those first Christian Brothers) how to teach to a full class, he consistently reminded them that it was always about the individual student’s abilities and needs. In his classrooms he discarded the mode of having the economically well-off students be segregated from the poor. In imitation, students of all socio-economic backgrounds are welcomed and celebrated in our classrooms. Our Lasallian education is for all, not just for the privileged few and the wealthy.

It is also part of our Lasallian tradition that we celebrate service as our Christian obligation and as an essential partner to our educational mission. The statement that is often heard and seen here – Learn, Serve, Lead – is at the heart of our Lasallian Heritage.

In keeping with the spirit of Saint La Salle’s message, we continue with this theme of service and Lasallian Spirit by presenting the Lasallian Educator Medallion to this year’s most deserving recipient Ms. Debby Sinnette-Baird P’07, ’14. By selected ‘Ms. Sinnette-Baird for this award, the faculty and staff reflected on all of the Lasallian ideals and traditions that we hold dear and they wisely selected Ms. Sinnette-Baird as one who represents these ideals so well.

Having been at La Salle for eight years, in addition to teaching, Debby has been a member of our Counseling Department. Even more, she also took on the role of moderator of the National Honor Society and she is the Co-Director of our Mentor Program. Even with all of these responsibilities, I know that she would not hesitate to say that what she enjoys most is working one-on-one with her students and acting as an advocate for them.

I was also proud to be with Debby when she received a teacher of the year award from the Rotary Club of Sierra Madre.

That indicates the level of respect that Ms. Sinnette-Baird has earned in our community.

Debby brings a caring heart and a unique empathy to all her endeavors especially demonstrating a consistant love for the students entrusted to her care by God. FALL / WINTER 2012

LAURENVALDES Walks

Lauren Marie Valdes is all smiles at the Tournament of Roses photo shoot.

La Salle’s Courageous Senior has been selected as Finalist for the 2012 Rose Court.

L

a Salle senior Lauren Valdes was introduced to the media in October along with 34 other Rose Court hopefuls. As she approached the steps for the group photo at Tournament House, one could not help but notice Valdes’ infectious smile. Standing in the front row with 34 other Royal Court hopeful teenage women, Valdes was the epitome of confidence and character as well as beauty. It was only on closer inspection one could see that she had a prosthetic right leg.

Diagnosed with cancer at the start of her freshman year, Lauren Valdes 17, has spent over 100 nights collectively in Children’s Hospital for various chemotherapy treatments and surgeries over an 18 month period.Valdes has played soccer since age two and had hopes of playing on the Lancer Varsity team and competing in CIF games.

After surgery, she did not want to let cancer change her life, but had to adapt to some stares and “strange and rude reactions” by others. She found a special, caring community at La Salle High School… where she was accepted as a bright individual with enormous courage, convictions and awareness of the human spirit at an unusually early stage in her life.

Surgeons at Children’s Hospital had told her that she had the option of trying to save her lower right foot and lower leg, but she would end up with a limp and be flat footed. Valdes wanted to play soccer again, wear four inch high heels and just be a normal teenage girl.

She initially thought the pain in her ankle was from soccer, but after months of not getting better, an MRI confirmed their fears. “I just didn’t want to be defeated. I didn’t want to be sick. I was, but I had to define who I was. I couldn’t lose this fight!” Valdes told her friends and family.

The prosthesis she now has will allow her to play soccer and other activities according to her doctors. She still has to tell her brain how to walk and climb stairs, but is getting “better and is starting to play soccer again,” according to John Blackstock of La Salle High School.

Valdes tried to keep the loss of her foot a secret for a long time.

She always wore pants, leotards, and yoga leggings. She ran at a fundraiser almost two years ago in sweat pants. “I was a speaker that night.

When I told the audience I was a cancer survivor and my lower leg had been amputated, a girl called out ’You kicked my butt this morning, not fair!’”

“I just didn’t want to be judged, but I needed to get on with my life.” After that evening, Valdes started wearing dresses again. Her confidence had returned.

Her father said,“She was never disheartened. She never felt like a victim or said ’why me? Ever!’ She has always been positive and tried to help others at Children’s Hospital stay positive.”

Lauren recalled how hard it was to stay positive. She said that after months of seeing some of these kids and getting to know them in the hospital… “all of a sudden, I would show up and they were gone. I was so sad.”

“This has changed me, of course. Some of my old friends want the old me back, but I’m just not that concerned anymore if the color of a dress is not quite right or this boy or that didn’t call me. My priorities have changed,” she said.

In 2009, Valdes met the Rose Court when she was a patient at Children’s Hospital LA, and saw how excited and happy the court and queen made the young cancer patients. She was very excited too.

Valdes thought the Princesses were “so kind and beautiful.” Since that visit by the Royal Court to Children’s Hospital in 2009, Valdes aspired to be a member of the court. So when she was selected as one of the final 35 she said “I’m absolutely thrilled to be in the final group.”

Valdez is now a spokesperson for CHLA and has personally raised over $100,000 for cancer causes in the last two years alone, one of which was ’Rally for Kids.’

The exceptional teenager Valdes said, “You don’t need to be perfect to be beautiful. You do not have to let cancer beat you.”

When she graduates from La Salle she hopes to go to USC, UCLA or LMU (or perhaps UC Santa Barbara). She wants to stay close to home because her family has been such a great source of support.

In addition to all her other talents and ambitions, Valdes completed an internship in New York City with a fashion designer. She hopes to major in communications and marketing and work in the fashion industry. Additionally, Valdes truly enjoys public speaking.

Editor’s note: We are happy to report Lauren Valdes has had no signs of cancer for the past two years.

“Just Imagine…” This is the theme for the 2012 Tournament of Roses Parade. Ever since she was a little girl, Senior Cynthia Louie “just imagined” what it would be like to be on the Rose Court but on October 10, Cynthia’s “just imagine” thought turned into a reality when she was selected to be one of the seven girls on Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses Royal Court. Cynthia says,“As soon as I heard my name and I was handed my flowers that was when I realized ‘Oh my Gosh, this is all happening. I am a Rose Princess.’ I honestly felt like I was in a dream and I was scared I was going to wake up.”

While growing up in Pasadena, Cynthia says she always wanted to become a Rose Princess and thought she might as well give it a shot. So on September 17 Cynthia made her way to the Tournament House for the

first day of tryouts wearing a giraffe

suit. She says, “The very first

interview about 1,000 girls tryout

and you get a 15 second chance to

say whatever you want about

yourself. I wore my giraffe suit

and said to the judges, ‘As

you can see I am comfortable

then ripped the suit off

revealing my business suit

underneath and said, ‘But I

can adapt to whatever

environment you need me

in.’” She had the poise, conf dence, charisma, and speaking

ability that the judges were

looking for in a Rose Princess.

Cynthia’s ‘no fear’ was not

the only thing to go unnoticed

to the judges. She also has

standout academic achieve

ments and community involve ment at La Salle. She is a Stu dent Ambassador, a member of

Dr. Alan Hiti ’71 Receives Alumni Award for Excellence in Academics

By Jade Rogers ’01

I

f you opened up a Merriam-Webster dictionary and looked up the word “quintessential” you would most likely find a picture of La Salle alumnus Dr. Alan Hiti ’71 right next to it.

Dr. Hiti defines what it is to be a quintessential academic. He is a clinical director, researcher, lecturer, Fellowship recipient and an award winner. Such impressive accomplishments, especially in the field of Science, span all the way back to when he was a student at La Salle. Traveling full-circle, he returned to his Alma Mater on September 14th to receive the distinguished Brother T. Mel Anderson, FSC Alumni Award for Excellence in Academics.

When Dr. Gray informed him of the award and asked him to address the students during the Academic Awards Ceremony, he said he was surprised and felt humbled and fortunate to receive this accolade. Dr. Hiti continued,“The award reaffirms that education is a lifelong activity and it encourages students to believe in the pursuit of academics as a career choice. It is truly a distinctive honor to be recognized for a career of academics that spans decades.”

During his four years at La Salle, Alan was a well-rounded student. He did not spend his entire high school career with his nose in the books. When he was not studying, he ran cross country and played basketball and baseball, lettering in all three sports and was named to the Santa Fe All-League baseball team as shortstop. He was Valedictorian for the Class of 1971, received the Bank of America Award in Liberal Arts, the Pius XII Award for Classical Languages, the Pro Deo et Patria Award for outstanding loyalty to the School, the Brother S. Martin Award for the highest GPA, and the Senior Class President’s Gavel. He is a California Scholastic Federation Life Member and was named a National Merit Scholarship Finalist. Alan was also given the Pasadena Sports Ambassadors MVP Award for baseball, plus the Optimist Youth Appreciation Award.

After graduating from La Salle, Alan went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in biology from Stanford University, a Ph.D. in microbiology from UCLA, and an MD from the University of Miami. He then received a Fellowship at the Kenneth Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center at USC where he worked on Urothelial (bladder) Cancer models, Epigenomic studies on DNA methylation, and collaborated on three cancer research papers. Dr. Hiti says he has always had an interest in pursuing medicine since his early years in college and, in fact, his interest in learning, especially in the sciences, goes all the way back to when he was taking chemistry as a student at La Salle.“ Mr. Tom Gufrey ’63,* our chemistry teacher, was strong and challenged us to learn principles and explain phenomena. He was passionate about his work and passed this passion on to his students.”

After his Fellowship, Dr. Hiti was given a position in USC’s Clinical Pathology Department where he rose to the rank of Full Professor in 2002. Currently, he directs a Clinical Laboratory that conducts a variety of Chemistry, Hematology, Coagulation, Immunology, and Molecular tests. He also directs the Flow Cytometry Lab for the USC Health Sciences Campus where he helps with the diagnosis of Leukemias and Lymphomas at the Norris Cancer Hospital 48

LANCER MAGAZINE

and the University (Keck) Hospital at USC as well as the outpatient clinics.

Dr. Hiti is also a part of the USC Healthcare Compliance Committee, the USC Care Clinical Practices Committee and a member of numerous professional organizations including the College of American Pathologists, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Association for Cancer Research and the Clinical Cytometry Society.

Adding to his long list of accomplishments, Dr. Hiti was awarded five million

dollars in research grants between 1990 and 2010 to investigate therapies in molecular pathology, sickle cell disease, and AIDS clinical trials. He has also authored and coauthored over 50 studies from his work on influenza, cancer, and sickle cell disease.

It is very clear that Dr. Hiti represents the most perfect example of quality, class, and educational success. He has contributed a great amount of time, energy and knowledge to what he loves the most, a career that he started building when he was at La Salle. Dr. Hiti advises current students to do the same. He wants young students to start assessing their life skills, goals and desires at an early stage. Dr. Hiti says, “Keep an eye towards the future.

The road that you travel will be a long and fulfilling journey based roughly on your planned itineraries.” Could anyone squeeze more into a life itinerary than our esteemed and energetic alumnus, Dr. Alan Hiti?

itting under hot lights as technicians fine-tuned sound and lens focus, Mark Walton ’71 watches as Ronald Reagan reviewed his notes before his interview begins. This is a watershed moment in Mark’s journalistic career. Santa Barbara television station KEYT has sent Mark out with just enough film for a 10-minute interview. No long-winded, on-air intros are possible. Just precise quick questions and concise, informative answers were needed from the future President. Mark sheepishly conveyed his dilemma to Mr. Reagan and hoped the former broadcaster would understand. Mark then asked a few short questions and received succinct and erudite answers - all around half a minute long. Yes, the “great communicator” had delivered and Mark was grateful. This episode, among with many other career highlights, was recounted at La Salle when Mark presented his guide for a successful broadcast career to the LTV (Lancer Television) crews and select members of the digital media classes. This was part of the ongoing career mentor series sponsored by the Alumni Association.

Mark wanted to be a broadcaster ever since he heard Vin Scully announce the Dodgers games when he was just five years old. “I did my own play-by-play during my friends’ little league games. I just wanted to be ‘Vinny,” he said. Mark transferred as a sophomore to La Salle from St. Anthony’s Seminary in Santa Barbara. After two rewarding seasons as a Lancer baseball player, Mark graduated from La Salle determined to set the TV world on fire.

“After the tough curriculum at La Salle, college was easy,” he recalls. He earned a radio and television journalism degree and graduated with honors from San Jose State. He had the good looks of a Southern California surfer and a smooth voice of a seasoned broadcaster. He seemed like a natural for the airways.

Even though Mark worked his way through college as a disc jockey and news announcer at a soft rock station in San Jose, he could not seem to find a full-time position at any of the stations in the San Francisco Bay Area or Sacramento. So he traveled north with his tapes in hand. He got turned down for a job in Yuba City, the town that was voted that year to be the worst place to live in America! He was so frustrated and was ready to call it quits, but he kept driving north to Chico, California. Mark put on his coat and tie for literally his last interview before giving up on his dream. He presented his tapes to the station manager and was hired on the spot. “Nobody has ever applied for a broadcast job here in a coat and tie!” said the amazed manager.

Eventually moving up to on-air television broadcasts in Redding and Santa Barbara, Mark began to shape his television personality in this coastal paradise. But he now wanted to be Peter Jennings instead of Vin Scully because he thought news would be more rewarding.

“And besides,” he said, “the recently-retired professional jocks were getting all the sports casting jobs.” The move to the news side landed him in San Diego at station KFMB-TV. “One thing La Salle taught me was how to learn. And now, in San Diego, I really had to learn fast!” he exclaimed. “La Salle was not an easy school to get through either, but I guess all that English stuff in class helped,” he said with a wily smile.

In San Diego, his on-air interview style and story telling ability flourished. He produced and hosted numerous Emmy-winning segments for PM Magazine, the nationally syndicated show that was broadcast on 100 stations nationally. Mark produced long-format segments where he interviewed Presidents, celebrities and world figures. “I covered a story where someone was just running on the beach and President Clinton asked him to run with him.

MEMORIAL TRIBUTE

A MAN FOR ALL REASONS

By John Blackstock ’67

On October 8th we lost a great Christian Brother, diplomat, educator and dear friend. Brother Donald Mansir, FSC, who was internationally recognized for his work in renovating the dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem in the 1990s, died on October 8, 2011 of cancer. He was 61. Brother Donald was a former teacher at La Salle in the mid-’70s who was known for his “Big Tent” musicals, linguistic talents, clever wit and caring counsel of his students. “Certainly one of the brightest and most articulate educations I have ever been associated with,” commented Pat Bonacci, La Salle’s current principal.

Brother Donald was also the principal at San Joaquin Memorial High School and a longtime professor at Saint Mary’s College and Bethlehem University in the Palestinian territories.

He was a friend and collegue who I first met when we were freshmen at Saint Mary’s College. He seemed to always have a solution for any problem or situation. He was a man for all reasons who can never be replaced. What follows is exerpted from the Saint Mary’s website By Erin Hallissy.

rother Donald is remembered as a learned and diplomatic man with an intense interest in teaching young people and improving conditions for and bringing compassion to people of all faiths throughout the Middle East. “He came through Saint Mary’s Integral Program as a student before he joined the Brothers, and this experience has certainly shaped his academic and intellectual career,” said SMC President Brother Ronald Gallagher. The Integral Program is the Saint Mary’s “College within the College,” a rigorous liberal arts education focusing on the classics and active inquiry.

“Here at the College over the last decade, Brother Donald has been a leader in shaping and articulating the Catholic Intellectual Tradition.” Brother Ronald continued. “This can be seen in his leadership of the Cummins Institute for Catholic Thought and Action.

He has also been the director of the Saint Mary’s College community of Brothers, and a wise and committed teacher. As a Brother Counselor (in the residence halls) and a teacher, he was a confidant to many students, and they have great affection for him.”

Brother Donald’s influence goes far beyond Saint Mary’s College. He was a Vatican adviser on Palestinian issues and president of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine during the 1990s. As such, he was involved in Jordan, Palestine, Israel and Lebanon, assisting in diplomatic and humanitarian missions. He also promoted interreligious dialogue between the Orthodox Christians and the Roman Catholics.

Brother Charles Hilken, a Saint Mary’s professor and current director of the Cummins Institute, said Brother Donald was “instrumental in bringing together parties traditionally unable to work together.”“Most notable in this regard was the project (in the mid-1990s) of renovating the dome of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, one of the holiest shrines of Christianity,” Brother Charles recalled. “He served as intermediary between the separate Christian churches which shared jurisdiction, and he found the artist, Ara Normat, who did the work of restoration.” The work was

magnificent, and in 1994, Brother Donald was invested as a Knight of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.

In an article he wrote for “Catholic Near East” in 1996, Brother Donald described the dome: “The approved design represents the glory of God enveloping the risen Christ. It consists of 12 streams of gold, representing the 12 Apostles. From each ray branch three streams of light, symbolizing the Trinity. Light from the dome’s central skylight, as well as from concealed artificial sources, adds glowing brilliance. The mother-of-pearl background, a reminder of the biblical description of the luminous cloud of the Divine Presence, brightens as it ascends. The artwork will draw the pilgrim’s eyes away from the tomb: as the angel declared, ‘Why do you seek the living among the dead?’ ”

A LIFE OF SCHOLARSHIP

“What Brother Donald did for the College was truly remarkable,” said Scott Kier, SMC’s Dean of Students.“I am hopeful we can find a voice like his that can bridge the gaps beyond our mission and Catholic identity but he was able to articulate it in a manner that was able to bring folks together and could be understood by all. “I know my life is better because he was a part of it, but he left sooner than I had hoped,” Kier added.“The College lost a colleague, the Christian Brothers lost a fellow Brother, and I lost my friend and mentor.”

Brother Donald received his bachelor’s degree in the Integral Program at Saint Mary’s in 1971, his master’s in education from the University of San Francisco in 1984, and a doctorate in theology, with an emphasis in theology of culture and Near Eastern studies, from the Union Institute and University in Cincinnati in 1999. He also has received a diploma in French from Laval University in Quebec City, Canada, in 1978. Brother Donald has taught at Saint Mary’s College, at Saint Anthony of Padua Institute in Berkeley, Latin Patriarchal Seminary in the West Bank, and La Salle High School in Pasadena.

He was the principal and academic vice president of San Joaquin Memorial High School, Fresno and sub-director at the Christian Brother’s Mont La Salle Novitiate in Napa.

A kind and welcoming man with students, staff and faculty wherever he worked, Brother Donald was also a consultant and permanent representative for the United Nations and UNICEF, In-

ternational Catholic Child Bureau, in Geneva, Switzerland. He was chief overseas operating officer of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, in New York and Vatican City.

Brother Donald was also vice president and chief operating officer of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine, responsible for directing operations of regional offices in Amman, Beirut, Jerusalem and Vatican City, and on the staff of the Vatican’s Apostolic Delegation to Jerusalem in the late 1980s. In addition, he was a Knight member of the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem.

Brother Donald presented at a number of seminars throughout the world on issues ranging from the conflicts in the Middle East, theology and conflicts in the Holy Land, Catholics in Iraq, terrorism and more. He often led Saint Mary’s students to the Middle East during the College’s January Term. He also published many papers on Palestine, the Vatican and Israel, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and more.

ACTS OF SERVICE

Service was also important to Brother Donald. He was a member of the Saint Mary’s College Board of Trustees, chair of the Cummins Institute until last year, a member of the College Committee on Inclusive Excellence and the Core Curriculum Task Force, a Brother Counselor in Ageno Hall and special assistant to the provost for Catholic thought and identity.

Outside of Saint Mary’s, Brother Donald was a consultant for the Palestinian Negotiating Team on the Status of Jerusalem, on the board of directors and director of research on international ethics at St. Thomas Aquinas Institute in Oakland, on the Commission of Christian Pilgrimages, Jerusalem and a member of the International Advisory Team, Global World Development Foundation, Los Angeles.

Brother Charles wrote, in the spring issue of “Veritas,” the publication of the Cummins Institute, “If there is a single word that captures the teaching of Brother Donald that word is hospitality.

Hospitality for him is more than an attribute of Christian life. It is a central theological truth of the doctrine of the Holy Trinity. It is easy to understand the welcome that the Institute has received on our campus and the wider community, given the irenic nature of that teaching.” Brother Charles said he will remember Brother Donald for “his dedication to students, especially in his commitment to the Integral Program, the residence hall, and January travel with students to Middle East.”

“He will be missed for gregarious personality, his readiness to break out in to song, and his love of art, music, and cooking,”Brother Charles added.

REFLECTIONS ON BROTHER DONALD

by Richard Gray, Ph.D.

Brother Donald Mansir, FSC at La Salle in 1976

S

adly, I had to fly up to Saint Mary’s College to attend the funeral of one of the Christian Brothers - Brother Donald Mansir, FSC (John Blackstock ’67, a college classmate of Brother Donald’s, was asked to be one of the Pall Bearers). Brother Donald began his teaching career here at La Salle Pasadena in 1974, where he taught math, religion, and German, and was the music and Theatre Arts Director as well as the The Lance and Centurion moderator for four years. He was well-regarded and a popular teacher.

From 1979 to 1986, he was a teacher and administrator at San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno. He left the high school arena in 1986, eventually earning a Ph.D. in Theology and Near Eastern Studies. Brother Donald spent ten years in the Middle East, first as an instructor at Bethlehem University (sponsored by the Christian Brothers), then as a member of the staff of the Apostolic Delegation in Jerusalem (the Pope’s representative in Israel). Brother Donald then joined the staff of the Pontifical Mission for Palestine, eventually becoming its Director in Jerusalem and then Chief Operating Officer of the Mission’s headquarters in New York City. He concluded his service to the Holy Land when he was appointed Director of the New York office of the International Catholic Child Welfare Bureau and Permanent Observer to the United Nations’ UNICEF. He returned to California in 1988 and assumed a faculty position at Saint Mary’s College, where he would remain - happily - for the rest of his life. He succumbed to metastatic cancer just before he turned 62.

I knew Brother Donald fairly well and considered him a friend (as did many of the standing room-only crowd that attended his funeral in the College Chapel). So it was all the more surprising to me to learn of his distinguished career in the Middle East. As I reflected on my lack of knowledge of Brother Donald’s activities between the time he left Pasadena and the time he returned to Saint Mary’s College, I realized that for all of his talent and intellectual brilliance, Brother Donald did not need to showcase his accomplishments. He was content with the quiet quotidian of a professor’s life.

He lived in the dormitories for the entire time he was on the faculty of the College and delighted in his duties as a tutor in the Integral Program (Saint Mary’s version of the Great Books program). Having

an apartment in the dorms enabled Brother Donald to engage in one of his favorite activities - cooking. Many student members of the Integral Program would find their seminar sessions adjourning to Brother Donald’s apartment for a lavish supper.

So it should have been no surprise to me (it was) to see a number of the College students in attendance at the Mass celebrating Brother Donald’s life to be openly weeping because of their grief that such a treasured teacher was taken from them too soon. In thinking about their tears on the flight back to Pasadena, I wondered how many of us engaged in the ministry of Lasallian education would be similarly honored by the students entrusted to our care at the time of our passing. For the first time in my 20 years working in Lasallian schools, I could fully appreciate the oft-quoted encouragement written by Saint John Baptist de La Salle over 300 years ago:

Students were openly weeping because of their grief that such a treasured teacher was taken from them too soon.

52

LANCER MAGAZINE

You, too, can create miracles by touching the hearts of the students entrusted to your care!

Those tears of grief represented (for me) the profound ability of Brother Donald to “touch the hearts” of the students entrusted to his care. The significance of this outcome is made even more powerful by the fact that two alums from La Salle, Pasadena flew up to attend Brother Donald’s funeral. Brother Donald had taught one of them, Alan Cabral ’78 for each of his four years at La Salle; and that experience was still memorable to him almost 30 years later. De La Salle in his Sixteenth Meditation for the Time of Retreat captured this amazing outcome:

Oh what glory there will be for those who have instructed youth, when their zeal and devotion to procure the salvation of children will be made public before all people! All heaven will resound with the thanksgiving which these blessed children will render to those who have taught them the road to heaven!

Rest easily, Brother Donald, in God’s presence and, through your intercession, may we who continue the work of Lasallian education merit a similar reaction when it is time for us to meet our Maker.

La Salle Supports Military Families

by Kristen Schultz ’98

a Salle’s newest Student Life club “Joining Forces: Support Our Troops” was started by Taylor Brennan ’15 in an effort to support our country’s military and their families. The Club recently led the “Box of Love” campus-wide service project to fill Thanksgiving food boxes for needy military families stationed at Camp Pendleton and Fort Irwin.

When one thinks about the “hungry” a soldier’s family is not the first thing to come to mind, but Club members educated their classmates about the fact that many military families will go hungry this holiday season as many servicemen and women earn as little as $1,100 a month and that does not go far when you have a family to take care of and no family or resources in the area to help. Thanksgiving dinner is a luxury that many will not be able to afford.

The La Salle community rallied behind this cause and thanks to everyone’s generosity Support Our Troops was able to fill 80 Boxes of Love and cover the $8 cost of each box. The Club is especially grateful to the Trader Joe’s Company for their donation of forty $25 gift cards so that military families can purchase a turkey to complete their Thanksgiving meal.

La Salle students also made thank you cards to send to soldiers thanking them for their service to our country in honor of Veterans Day and donated half of the proceeds of a recent Dollar Dress Day to Soldiers Angels in Altadena to purchase phone cards for soldiers stationed overseas.

The Support Our Troops club has since completed their second service project making holiday cards for soldiers serving overseas.

in an interview that Clinton tried to convince him that his economic policies were the right direction to go. He disagreed and said he was still “going to vote for Bob Dole!” recalls Mark with a laugh. “Immediately after that I interviewed Mother Teresa. I referred privately to these as my Saint and Sinner segments,” he quipped.

Other interviews included Cesar Chavez, John Wooden, Stephen Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey and Robin Williams (his personal favorite interview). “He could take a serious question, give an outrageous answer and finish with a poignant comment. Amazing guy.”

“My career was so much fun. I even ended up meeting my wife after interviewing the winner of the Miss San Diego County Pageant,” he said, but his wife Lynette remembers, “Everyone wanted to win the pageant just so we would be interviewed by Mark Walton. He was that handsome San Diego TV anchor. I was so lucky to win. He got the interview and I got him.”

Mark’s broadcast career spans 25 years from KEYT in Santa Barbara to NBC as anchor and reporter.

In the mid-’80s, Mark was producer and host of Emmywinning Eye on San Diego at KGTV. “It was tough to create and get on the air. ‘Giving more to get more’ was sort of my mantra back then. I really was on a quest for a wealth of experiences.” His stint at KGTV led to the 5:30pm news anchor slot at WTLV in Jacksonville, Florida. There, he also reported and produced hard news stories. He went on to host ESPN’s Lifestyle Magazine and finally he became an Emmy-winning morning anchor on NBC.

Mark says of his early broadcast days. “I wanted every interview to be better - to make the show better – to make me better. That was the goal,” he explained.

“Today I’m more focused on the betterment of my family, my clients and my community.”

In a change of direction in the late ’90s, Mark produced and hosted shows featuring discussions about stocks, investments and personal financial management for KNSD, CNN and the Fox Network. After six Emmys, one Iris Award and the Associated Press Award as best Small Market Sportscaster, Mark retired from broadcast journalism to help others prosper and manage their finances. Today, Mark has a very successful career as a financial advisor/vice-president with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in La Jolla. He has been voted a FiveStar Best in Client Satisfaction Wealth Manager in San Diego four years in a row.

Mark and his wife Lynette live in Carlsbad with their daughter Shayne. Their son, Luke, is a Music/East Asian Studies double major at USC (Yes, Luke Walton at USC. “We didn’t mean to be so cruel,” Mark says).

JON KEATES

Who is

S

?

By Richard Gray, Ph.D.

omewhere along the way in pursuit of a doctorate in English Literature, La Salle’s new Director of Institutional Advancement, Jon Keates, was lured into the world of fundraising and, thirty years later, he never looked back. It was quite a pedigree that he left behind: a bachelor’s in English Literature (magna cum laude) from Brown University, a graduate student and Instructor at Duke University and doctoral candidate and lecturer at Brown. It was while he was at Brown that Jon was lured into the world of philanthropy when he accepted the position of Director of Alumni Relations. He was then recruited for the same position at George Washington University. Shortly after that, the University of Chicago appointed Jon Director of Annual Giving.

From there, Jon travelled west, to Claremont McKenna College, to become Vice President for Development & External Relations. Slightly more than a decade later, Jon moved to Occidental College and then, to USC’s College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. After a full career as a chief fundraiser, Jon was lured into the consulting world by the Bay Area’s Brakeley Briscoe as a Senior Consulting Associate. And that’s where he entered La Salle’s orbit.

Dr. Richard Gray and Jon Keates have known each other professionally for well over a decade. So, when then DIA Carole Tremblay made the decision to accept a chief fundraising position at the LA Food Bank, Dr. Gray asked Jon to perform an audit of the Department to prepare for the search for a new Director of Institutional Advancement. When Carole Tremblay moved on to the Food Bank in April, Dr. Gray asked Jon to fill in as DIA until the search for a new Director was completed. A fateful June day found the two fundraisers returning from a solicitation call on Bunker Hill where Jon revealed that he found consulting boring and wanted to get back into the fundraising game; would La Salle consider him for the permanent position of Director of Institutional Advancement? Dr. Gray was glad that he was not the driver that afternoon because, he reports, he would have swerved into oncoming traffic in his excitement that such a situation was possible. With four high-profile college capital campaigns under his belt and a stack of awards from the Council for Advancement and Support for Education on his resume, Jon was an answer to Dr. Gray’s dreams.

Needless to say, the deal was cemented before the car exited the freeway. Feel free to stop by his office and say hello.

A TRIBUTE TO A

Very Special Man

After 15 years as Principal, Pat Bonacci, AFSC would like to turn his attention to a less overwhelming set of responsibilities.

When Pat informed Richard Gray of his desire two years ago, and that he wanted to continue in some capacity here at La Salle, without batting an eyelash, Richard told him that he knew exactly what he wanted Pat to do next – and that job – Vice President for Mission did not exist! So, at the end of the 2011-2012 academic year, Pat will transition into a new role at La Salle and a new principal will take on the challenge of filling Pat’s enormous footprint.

To celebrate 15 years of leadership and a quarter century of service to La Salle, Pat will be this year’s Crystal Ball Honoree. As part of that celebration, in conjunction with the School, the Crystal Ball committee will assemble a special Tribute Program. Alumni, current and former La Salle families are warmly encouraged to purchase an ad (please include a family picture!) in the tribute book. Please join us for this special tribute at the Crystal Ball on April 27, 2012.

For more information about how to purchase a Pat Bonacci Tribute ad go to www.lancernetwork.com/Tribute.

Where there’s a will there’s a way… to put La Salle in it!

S

erena and Peter Williams, parents of Derek ’04 and Robert ’06, are among a number of La Salle parents who have included La Salle in their estate planning arrangements.

“Our sons’ education at La Salle was a gift to our family that will last for a lifetime.

It only makes sense to give back.”

A bequest to La Salle is easy to arrange as part of your initial estate planning. If you already have a will or a living trust, a simple one-page amendment (a codicil in the case of a will) may be all that is necessary. Please consider a gift to La Salle the next time you update your will or trust. If you have recently updated your will, your attorney can make this change for what is likely to be a modest fee. Either way, La Salle has sample bequest wording for you to share with your attorney so that you can save both time and money.

And remember, a bequest gift is very flexible. You can leave a specific sum of money, a piece of property, a percentage of the remainder of your estate, or even a contingent gift (that is, your gift comes to La Salle only if specific conditions are met, such as your spouse predeceasing you). Importantly, a bequest may be amended, in part or entirely, should your circumstances change.

So, help assure La Salle’s future and join Serena and Peter. Include La Salle in your estate plans.

For more information about gift planning at La Salle, please contact Jon Keates, Director of Institutional Advancement, at 626.696.4344, or you may e-mail him at keates@lasallehs.org.
