Loyola Magazine | Summer 2016

In June, I attended a wonderful Colloquium held at Xavier University by the Jesuit Schools Network. The Colloquium was entitled Jesuit Education: Deepening Awareness; Calling for Action, and, as the name implies, it was designed to create a deeper understanding of Jesuit education for the 450 primary and secondary school educators in attendance from around the country.

Dr. Christopher Pramuk was the keynote speaker and he encouraged the vital importance of feeding the imagination of our students. In his reflection he talked about Pope Francis, Jesuit Superior General Adolfo Nicolas, Bruce Springsteen, film director, Godfrey Reggio, Rabbi Abraham Heschel, and Fr. Walter Burghardt, S.J. Isn’t that quite the assortment of thought leaders?! He moved from story to story and quote to quote while always returning to his theme of making the “how might” and “what if ” possible for our students.

When Dr. Pramuk referred to Fr. Burghardt, it reminded me of a tribute piece, written by Fr. Jim Martin, S.J., on the occasion of Fr. Burkhardt’s passing. Fr. Martin shared, “He credited his father with teaching him the value of justice. When young Walter announced he wanted to be a Jesuit, his father replied, ‘If that’s what you want, then be a good one.’” Fr. Burghardt’s work showed that he took his father’s motivating advice to heart, even authoring 25 books, many of which were collections of his greatly admired homilies and sermons.

Like Pramuk, Burghardt consistently celebrated the importance of our imaginations, yet he was also known for describing the beauties of contemplation and it being “a long, loving look at the real.”

Sounding much like Burghardt, Rabbi Heschel once wrote, “When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendor of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion—its message becomes meaningless.” Powerful words for sure and I am happy to say they are not thoughts that apply to Jesuit secondary education at Loyola School, for we continue to look to spur the imagination and educational and faith lives of our inquisitive students.

The 2015-16 school year was challenging in many ways, but my reflections in looking back on the year bring me to a great sense of gratitude for the imaginative work of our students, faculty, staff, administrators, trustees, and volunteers. You will see that our Loyola Magazine does a wonderful job recounting this past academic year and I hope you will take a “long, loving look” at all that we have to share.

Sincerely,

Tony Oroszlany ’87 President Loyola Magazine | Summer 2016

Message From The Principal

SUPPORT LOYOLA

Message From The Principal

In her welcome address to the packed crowd gathered at the 2016 commencement ceremonies in the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, senior Julia Robinson took a moment to speak directly to her teachers who have shaped her years at Loyola: “Faculty of Loyola School — to say you work twice as hard as we do to help us succeed is an understatement. You work with us in your free time, spending extra hours after school finishing up a math problem, or that engineering project that just won’t support its weight. You’ve been supporting our weight, bearing our issues, academic and personal, with love, and never failing to tell us, that regardless of how badly we fail, you believe in us. We have relied on you more than you can ever know. For that, it is impossible to express our gratitude. Thank you for the smiles and encouragement, the mercy…and the humor. It’s a rare thing to be able to say that some of the people who have made me laugh the most have been my teachers. I’ ll never look at Chem as daunting again, and if I ever come across a Physics problem, I’ ll remember to play with it.”

What a thrill it was to formally send off our graduates on this special day, knowing how ready they are to carry on the heart of the Loyola education – ready to dare to go out and change the world, to not keep to themselves all that they have learned in their years at Loyola, but to instead share it with the world beyond Park and East 83rd. In June, a group of graduates from the Class of 2016 returned from their service trip to Belize, where they helped build a new home for a family in need. The efforts of the group embodied all that we aim for in seeking to educate students in the spirit of generosity. This international service program is a prime example of what the Loyola experience is all about — the transformation of boys and girls into young men and women for others.

As another school year has drawn to a successful close, I can’t help but reflect on what has been a truly eventful year here at Loyola. This past September, the faculty, staff, and administration returned to Loyola School eager for yet another school year with our students. Much like the students have summer reading assignments to keep their minds engaged, the adults at Loyola had an assignment too. We chose to read the book, Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the

World. The staff also had the unique opportunity to meet with the author, Expert in Residence at Harvard University’s Innovation Lab, Dr. Tony Wagner, through an interactive Skype session.

As we sat in the fourth floor Biology lab, interacting with Dr. Wagner in his office at Harvard, I could not help but be inspired by his call to craft our learning at Loyola with the aim of producing students who can think creatively and critically, who can communicate and collaborate effectively. The education we provide at Loyola must prepare our students with the 21st Century skills needed to progress through the ever-changing world around us. Dr. Wagner shared that “the world doesn’t care what you know. What the world cares about is what you do with what you know.” This insight is explicitly linked to our Jesuit mission, where our aim has always been to educate our students to not just keep their knowledge to themselves, but to share their learning with the world around them in the service of others.

Our session with Dr. Wagner was just the start of what has evolved into a defined year of inquiry in fulfilling the vision of Loyola being a leader in global education. Since the start of the school year, our faculty community has engaged in a year of research into what it means to “Go Global” at Loyola. Our community has begun to work to fulfill the global vision of Loyola as set forth in the Vision Statement, as well as in our New York State Association of Independent School accreditation report and the Jesuit Province Sponsorship Review. “Going Global” has been a significant faculty endeavor throughout the entirety of this school year, and the work we accomplished this year is just the beginning of a very meaningful point in Loyola’s educational history, where we seek to fulfill a global vision that aims to explicitly prepare our students for the world beyond East 83rd Street.

These are exciting days at Loyola, and I know that our work would not be possible without the generous support from you – Loyola’s alumni, parents, and friends. Thank you for your continual encouragement as we seek to provide an outstanding, communitybased learning experience that values educating students of competence, conscience, and compassion who will go out and light our world.

Please keep us in your prayers, and know that we keep you in ours.

Best wishes!

Dr. Kristin E. Ross Cully Principal

Global Learning Initiative In recognition of increasing global interdependence and the inherent educational challenges of this interdependence, Loyola School embarked on a new journey to develop and implement a Global Learning Initiative, a goal of the School’s Strategic Plan and as outlined in its Vision Statement, the New York State Association of Independent School accreditation report, and the Jesuit Province Sponsorship Review. As a first step in fulfilling the global vision of Loyola School, a committee was formed comprised of faculty members eager to take the lead in this exciting endeavor. Charged with becoming experts in Global Education and forming an action plan, the Committee engaged with the broader faculty community on professional development days throughout the school year, where they sought to not only root our global vision in our Jesuit mission, but also to bring in experts in the field to continue to learn from and inspire our work. The work outlined in the Global Strategic Plan reflects a significant faculty effort made throughout this school year.

The goal of this action plan is to bring Global Education into the daily life of the School in order to educate our students to be active and informed citizens within and beyond the confines of their own local communities. By utilizing the Grad at Grad characteristics – academically excellent, open to growth, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice – as a framework, the committee determined the importance of developing a sixth characteristic, globally competent. The emphasis on these characteristics provides the launching pad for the exploration of the different and diverse cultures in our ever-broadening world community as Loyola seeks to implement 21st century educational practices incorporating the arts, humanities, sciences, technology, and mathematics in order to develop well rounded, compassionate Ignatian leaders with a global perspective.

Through the development of students’ global competence, we will prepare our graduates to be more empathetic, accepting of differences, and better prepared to navigate the interconnected world in which they will work and live. It is important to all in our community that Loyola School reflects an inclusive, respectful, and supportive learning environment, where diversity is seen as an asset. Global Learning will be part of daily life at Loyola, with the goal of moving toward full integration of the curriculum, experiences, school-wide events, and partnerships. The School is committed to this program not focusing solely on international trips but, rather, that all aspects of the student experience are addressed. It is through the lens of global education that we will examine not only the traditional subject matter of disciplines, but also the manner in which we approach those disciplines. Loyola School seeks to educate students to understand various perspectives and think critically, effectively communicate their ideas, have a positive attitude towards diversity, have a strong sense of identity and empathy, and apply their learning by taking action on issues that affect them and others. To that end, four strategic planning goals were identified:

8

Loyola Magazine | Summer 2016

Curriculum Development Revise and develop course curriculum in all disciplines to embed global competence skills and topics

School-Wide Events Organize school-wide events, including guest speakers, simulations, and grade level projects to engage students in global issues and provide common learning experiences

Experimental Learning Develop out-of-school learning experiences that connect students to the world beyond Loyola

Partnerships Engage local, national, and international partners to provide learning opportunities and resources to Loyola students, with the express goal of learning more about the world

Loyola School Vision Statement Loyola School, uniquely Jesuit, independent, and coeducational, is a college preparatory learning community of excellence, with a global focus, that implements 21st century educational practices and innovations, and develops well-rounded leaders of character in an Ignatian environment.

In addition, a thematic approach to teaching global issues was adopted to guide the global work of the community, encouraging more interdisciplinary efforts. The grade levels themes will be Identity – Culture and Self for Freshmen; Sustainability for Sophomores; Human Rights for Juniors; and Taking Action– Citizenship and Advocacy for Seniors. The long term goal of students’ four years of learning will be a senior capstone project.

The global work accomplished this year is just the beginning of a very meaningful point in Loyola’s educational history, where we seek to fulfill a global vision that aims to explicitly prepare our students for the world beyond East 83rd Street, empowering students to learn as well as act by applying their global competence to the local and global issues that affect them. We hope you enjoy this snapshot into our first year of “Going Global.” To learn more about Loyola School’s Global Strategic Plan, please visit http://www.loyolanyc.org/about/strategic-plan/.

Profile of the Graduate at Graduation Globally Competent

A Loyola student...

Along with being academically excellent, open to growth, loving, religious, and committed to doing justice, Loyola has implemented a sixth pillar of the Graduate at Graduation: globally competent. A globally competent Loyola School student demonstrates empathy and a complex understanding of the world from multiple perspectives; seeking to critically understand and take action on global issues through collaboration, perseverance, and problem solving.

Accepts responsibilities of global citizenship and makes ethical decisions that contribute to the development of a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world

Edward E. Ford Foundation Grant Through the generosity of The Edward E. Ford Foundation, Loyola School was fortunate to receive a grant to develop and implement a Global Learning Initiative over the next five years.

The mission of The Edward E. Ford Foundation is to “strengthen and support independent secondary schools and to challenge and inspire them to leverage their unique talents, expertise and resources to advance teaching and learning throughout this country by supporting and disseminating best practice, by supporting efforts to develop and implement models of sustainability, and by encouraging collaboration with other institutions.”

Loyola will be awarded $50,000 on a matching gift basis of $1 from the Foundation for every $2 raised by the School. We ask all members of our community to consider making a gift to support the Global Learning Initiative before December 31, 2016.

If you have any questions or would like to make a gift, please contact Samantha Hanley at 646.346.8136 or shanley@loyolanyc.org.

2O Years With REV. MICHAEL SEHLER, S.J.

Fr. Mike Sehler spent his early years in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and Stuyvesant Town, Manhattan; from 1952-55 Fr. Sehler lived in Chattanooga, Tennessee and still has vivid memories of segregation. Upon moving to suburban Washington, D.C., Fr. Sehler received encouragement from his father to take the admission test for Gonzaga High School. Originally on the waiting list, Fr. Sehler thought that if he had answered one or two more questions incorrectly, his life would have taken a different path.

A life often turns because of such small accidents.

Ordained in 1973, Fr. Sehler has taught in Jesuit high schools for 45 years: 1967-70 at Georgetown Preparatory School, where he taught Robert Kennedy, Jr. and Michael McCarthy, the son of Senator Eugene McCarthy; 1972-83 at Xavier High School in New York; 1984-95 at Fordham Preparatory School; and 1996-present at Loyola School.

The warmth, goodness, and generosity of Loyola students have impressed Fr. Sehler over the years. The approachability of the faculty and the welcoming attitudes of Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Agnostakis, and Mr. Tramontozzi among many others quickly made him feel at home.

Fr. Sehler has an ongoing concern for his students, and is in touch with many after graduation. He is grateful that his students and their sense of humor keep him young. Several years ago an alumna and her fiancĂŠ invited Fr. Sehler to lunch and asked him to preside at their wedding. The alumna produced an encouraging note which he had written and she had saved over the years.

"Moments like these are what make teaching so rewarding."

Fr. Sehler received the Bene Merenti medal this June for 20 years of service. He is interested in the Global Learning Initiative which Loyola will launch in the classroom this fall, and looks forward to exploring diversity in religion, culture, and ethics which the Initiative will afford. He continues to enjoy influencing his students academically and spiritually, and enjoys the company and friendship of many Loyola faculty.

Looking forward to teaching a few more happy years. . .

HOW LOYOLA ALUMNI IMPACT THE WORLD

By Kathleen N. McCarthy ’85

One afternoon in the mid 1970’s Marie Scott McNamee ’77 sprained her ankle playing in a school basketball game.

She did not, however, have to worry about how she was going to get home after the game. Faculty member and coach, Joe Hanser, drove the injured McNamee to the Bronx and helped her to her family's 3rd floor walkup apartment.

For McNamee, the selfless spirit shown by Hanser that day in going above and beyond his duties, epitomizes what made her time at Loyola special. Students were taught to find their voices and to stand up for things they believed

12

Loyola Magazine | Summer 2016

in. Loyola encouraged its students to join activities and teams so they could become viable, and nurtured a sense of volunteering and supporting groups and others.

This spirit has become an integral part of who McNamee is today, informing her work as Director, Member and Program Services at InsideNGO, a membership association of international non-governmental organizations and sector experts in the global development and relief community.

InsideNGO offers collaboration, professional development, practical solutions, and advocacy to its members who, explains

McNamee, "tackle some of the most pressing problems on earth” from poverty eradication to refugee resettlement.

"We are a small association (30 people)", says McNamee, "So I wear a lot of hats in my job. I am involved in sector benchmarking, compensation and benefits surveys, training, building partnerships to leverage expertise and services, facilitating topical roundtables, managing a compensation and benefit consulting service, and some advocacy."

A graduate of Marymount Manhattan College, McNamee has decades of experience working in the nonprofit sector. She "loves working for an organization who has as its core mission doing something for the greater good. Each day you can contribute your talents and collectively as a team make a difference... With limited budgets, particularly in the areas of operations (HR, finance, technology) working to provide a forum for sharing information, networking and learning so that individuals and their organizations can be successful is truly rewarding."

The events of September 11, 2001 proved a catalyst for McNamee's move to her current role. Located across the street from the World Trade Center, her workplace office at the time was destroyed. She remembers: "The generosity of the international development and relief community was astounding. From providing office space, telecommunications, and rebuilding resources – numerous organizations rallied to support us. I was truly moved to give back and pay it forward to any organization who needed assistance and working for InsideNGO allows me to do this."

There is no typical work day for McNamee. "On a given day I might have an early call with members in Africa to plan a member meeting, then host a discussion on a critical issue such as Ebola and how organizations are supporting their staff, then have a meeting with partners on providing discounted internet services to those with offices in Africa," she describes. Later McNamee might "discuss with an Advisory Council the Agenda for a safety and security symposia, then respond to a question regarding recommended lawyers in India, and work with an organization who is interested in benchmarking their salaries to peer organizations."

For students and alumni who might consider working in the global nonprofit sector, McNamee noted that the work requires an innovative spirit, an openness to continually learn, and a willingness to work on multiple time zones.

Critical too are attitudes of openness, acceptance, humility, and flexibility. McNamee asserts: "Working in this sector you need to be able to leave your pre-conceived notions behind. You will be working with a multitude of cultures and customs, individuals with very different life experiences."

Perhaps paramount is the understanding that "knowledge and information need to be shared so your colleagues can learn from your expertise and experiences. There is little time to

re-invent the wheel." She also advises interested students to learn geography. "In my line of work, and in many others, the world has become a much smaller place...now that technology can connect us in real time to people and events... Knowing where countries are situated and names of major cities can be very helpful," she explains, "I am always amazed when I travel how familiar folks outside of the US are with our country."

The oldest of five children, McNamee grew up in a family that valued education and learning, indeed that "instilled a Jesuit tradition." Her father was a teacher at Xavier High School for 47 years, as well as being the track coach. McNamee "really wanted to go to a Jesuit high school" and was hooked as soon as she learned about Loyola, becoming a member of the School’s first coeducational class. She fondly recalls Loyola legends Fr. Prior and Mr. Tram as well as "many great teachers who not only taught us but challenged us to think and stretched you beyond your comfort zone. I truly loved English classes with Doc Collins and Mr. Moylan and history classes with Sr. Dale and Fr. O'Leary."

McNamee has maintained a strong connection with Loyola.

She has served on the Board of Trustees twice, and has been both Member and President of the Alumni Association Board.

As important are the personal ties: she married a classmate, Jay McNamee '77 and their daughter Shannon F. McNamee '12 currently serves as Decade Representative on the Alumni Association Board. McNamee's sister Ann Scott ’81 is a fellow graduate and many of her good friends are Loyola alumni.

"While at Loyola," McNamee recalls, "I used to place on top of my homework and test papers AMDG, which is the Latin Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam, for the greater glory of God, the motto of the Society of Jesus. In some small way, this motto has carried forward and directed my career choices."

She concludes: "I am really lucky to work in a sector where you are always learning and where everyone is committed to justice whether it is human rights, improving health systems, making education accessible, preserving the environment for future generations, or addressing other issues that impact people and our planet."

Alumni Profile | Adam Belanich ’04 and Noah Belanich ’07

HOW LOYOLA ALUMNI IMPACT THE WORLD

By Kathleen N. McCarthy ’85 The Belanich brothers, Adam '04 and Noah '07 believe that no one should drink bad coffee, particularly not bad office coffee. And so, in 2011, along with their brother David, they started Joyride Coffee to bring the world's best wholesale coffees directly to offices. Today the company is a specialty coffee distributer and beverage manufacturer with operations in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. "We distribute fresh, locally roasted coffee from eleven of the world's best roasters to offices [but also] to restaurants, college campuses, and really anywhere people love great coffee," explains Adam, who is Joyride's President and CFO. The company also delivers craft beverages on tap and premium brewing equipment.

Joyride actually began life in the back of a food truck in New York City. "We were serving organic frozen yogurt [with] fresh fruit toppings... We needed to have a product that was counter seasonal to yogurt to sell during the morning hours as well as during the winter," explains Noah, currently the company's Chief Product Officer. "Coffee was a natural addition and we quickly became known more as a coffee truck than a frozen yogurt company." He recounts: "We then realized just how many customers were spending 20-30 minutes a day to leave their office building and come spend $4 on a cup of coffee while they most likely had free coffee in their office. It was really just following the demands of the market so we started distributing fresh roasted Stumptown coffee to offices. From there was a progression to selling cold brew coffee in one gallon glass growlers." One day customers mentioned they wanted to buy more cold brew, but simply did not have enough room in their refrigerator to store it. In response, the company developed a working prototype of the first coffee kegerator. Within a year the brothers had sold the truck, and began business in earnest, with a building headquarters in Queens.

A graduate of Dartmouth College with a degree in Studio Art and a Minor in Moral Philosophy, Adam found that business suited him: "I wanted to build something with my own effort, independent of everything my family had given me." He also discovered that he had "a good ability to create order from chaos, which is the crux of entrepreneurship." Noah joined the company after 14

Loyola Magazine | Summer 2016

Alumni Profile | Adam Belanich ’04 and Noah Belanich ’07

graduating from Ponoma College where he had an interdisciplinary major in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics. A general education helps for business, but Noah believes "there is no silver bullet, nothing really prepares you. You just have to be persistent, learn from your mistakes, of which there will be many, and continuously adapt."

Adam agrees: "I have learned everything from accounting to graphic design, and back again. Especially when we were just starting out, I had to do just about everything to some degree or another. In terms of outlook, I think the work first and foremost requires the ability to look at a complete void and to envision how to turn that into a functioning operation, through bringing in the right people, the right products, and the right tools. It also requires that you never shirk from doing difficult or challenging things.

Jokingly, our mantra at the company is: "Do hard things well!"

Facing global issues are part of the day's work at Joyride. Explains Noah: "A core value of Joyride and how we source our ingredients is to be fair to the whole supply chain and pay each step of the supply chain a fair wage. Almost all of our coffees are sourced using a direct trade model which means our roasters are going direct to the farms and purchasing from the farmers which ultimately pays significantly higher prices to the farms than even fair trade coffee. We are also actively trying to eliminate single use pods and similar systems which produce incredible amounts of non-recyclable waste on a daily basis."

Raised in Great Neck, Long Island, the brothers are from a "big, loud, and loving" family of four children, three boys and one girl, with a background in business and entrepreneurship. Their Croatian father was a political refugee from Tito's Yugoslavia, who met their mother, the daughter of a New York City police captain and a schoolteacher, in Jackson Heights, Queens. They enjoy working with family, and appreciate the inherent joys and challenges. Says Adam: "I always have two people who I can trust with absolutely everything, and with whom I can be totally candid. We all have a similar outlook and very much aligned incentives." He continues: "The challenge is that no one is the boss. You have to come to agreements about strategy in a way that I think is healthy, but which requires a willingness for confrontation...and spirited debate." Noah concurs: "A lot of people show concern when we say we all work together but we are such different people with different skill sets that it works.

Our differences complement each other rather than cause conflict."

The brothers credit their Loyola education for preparing them for their current success... Says Adam: "I think Loyola made me a curious person, with a strong moral compass, which affects almost every aspect of my day to day life." He continues: "It taught critical thinking, a tendency to always ask "why?" and a complete lack of patience for mediocrity." Noah believes: “The first thing a Loyola education gave me was a general acceptance to be who you wanted to be, and not feel pressure to just do what everyone else is doing."

They both especially enjoyed art classes with Mr. Stone, who Adam

remembers as "vibrant, dedicated, and incredibly exacting."

Despite their long daily commute from Great Neck to the Upper East Side, neither brother drank coffee while in high school, although as Noah says "I used to take the 6:37 am train every morning, so I could have used [it]!" Not surprisingly, they have since developed an appreciation. Being asked to name a favorite among Joyride's products is like asking a parent to name a favorite child, says Noah, but if pushed he says "it might be our Counter Culture Nitro cold brew, or our Scarlet tea, which is a hibiscus based herbal tea." Adam finds it too hard to choose among suppliers, but instead lists customer favorites: "for beans they love Stumptown's Hairbender, Toby's Estate's Brooklyn Blend, Blue Bottle Giant Steps and Sightglass' Blueboon. In the teas, Steve Smith's Peppermint is unlike anything I've had before." And in brotherly agreement he says: "Of course, any one of our cold brews on Nitro is going to knock socks off."

June 3, 2016 marked the 116th commencement ceremony for the Loyola School community. 53 young women and men, family and friends, faculty and administrators, gathered together in the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola to recognize and celebrate their accomplishments. The Class of 2016 was addressed by Mr. Daniel Sullivan, teacher and Chair of the History department. Mr. Sullivan reflected on his first 40 years at Loyola and expressed optimism for the graduating seniors. He spoke to the class about what their journey through life has in store for them. In that, he proposed that there will be challenges for the graduates to face. He instilled optimism in promising that they will achieve their personal excellence. In doing so, the seniors were influenced to never take for granted the love this life gives you. In closing, Mr. Sullivan exclaimed that “there’s a light that glows by the front door” at 83rd and Park Avenue, reminding the class that they will always be welcome back home to Loyola.

What's Happening At Loyola?

Arts The art department began the 201516 school year with a fresh start, having undergone last year's major summer renovation for an entirely new art studio.

Senior AP Art Studio students worked at personal studio stations, each having an easel, taboret, tackable wall space, material storage, and flat file storage for artwork and paper. This setup allowed our students to develop and complete six AP Portfolios for submissions, consisting of over 25 pieces from each student.

Additionally, the underclassmen had a new learning environment as well, with work tables housing built-in storage for students’ materials, a long, standing height work counter, and easily accessible common making and modeling materials. Students made representational and abstract artwork with processes including life drawing; technical drawing; water color, acrylic and oil painting; printmaking; photography; digital imaging; digital video, origami, and mixed media found object sculpture.

The new art studio is a fantastic, inviting and light-filled facility that regularly inspires the student response of "this is definitely the best room in the school!," enthusiasm that is evident during activities, free periods, and after school when the studio is full of student artists looking, working, and sharing ideas.

What's Happening At Loyola | Drama

Concerts

Drama The Loyola Players really expanded this year, both in terms of physical space and attracting new recruits from all age levels. They started their first year in the new Gannon off with a bang, quite literally. Poor Will’s character was shot in the first scene of A.A. Milne’s The Red House Mystery, and Anthony and Marcelino’s Sherlock and Watson tried to solve the crime, all the while pursuing their lovely lady crushes. If only the bumbling detective, hilariously played by Jack, would have let them wrap it up, the show would have been over in five minutes.

Everybody had a hand in the thrilling whodunit! The spring brought quite a change of pace as the talented players took on David Ives’s series of one-act comedies, All in the Timing. All 21 cast and crew members were shining stars for their rapid-fire lines and slapstick, and here are a few highlights. Worth portrayed a guy grappling with being trapped in an alternate dimension. Luca, Jules, and Nick made a mess as Mensa monkeys. Emma learned a whole new language. Siobhan proudly parodied the director of all things drama, while Alessia stood up for all stage managers everywhere. Marianne began the show as a sweet know-it-all and ended as a cynical waitress. And that about covers it. It was a really fun year in the new Gannon!

Instrumental Ensembles

Vocal Ensembles

This year all members of the Jazz Ensemble grew tremendously in the art of improvisation and have developed an indepth understanding of what is on the page.

All Jazz musicians should be familiar with tunes from The Real Book, and these students are no exception. They played standards by Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, and Sonny Rollins, among others. The Loyola musicians in the Jazz Ensemble do not just play what is on the page; they express themselves freely and have a musical conversation. The Loyola Orchestra has been rebranded “The Chamber Ensemble.” Loyola’s Chamber Ensemble has a very unique instrumentation, meaning that those students played parts that are not typical for their respective instruments. The pieces for all of the Chamber Ensemble performances have been arranged specifically for this Ensemble. It is no easy feat to play another instrument’s part. They worked through works by Mozart, Beethoven, and Vivaldi and developed the skill of listening to each other while focusing on individual instrument parts.

All of the students in the vocal ensembles grew as musicians. They worked through many different tonalities and rhythm changes, as well as developing a good sense of time. The Liturgical Singers went the extra mile to lend their voices at all of the school masses. They brought with them all that they learned and experienced in the Chorus and A Cappella ensembles. The Chorus fills the halls with beautiful voices during Activities Period, singing through contemporary music. While doing so, they learned typical phrasing, housekeeping, and gained the ability to recognize intervals by sight. The A Cappella ensemble achieves an immensely difficult feat; singing multiple parts, unaccompanied. These students learned a sense of musical independence and trust.

They put in a great deal of dedication to learn very difficult vocal parts and create beautiful harmonies with each other. All of the vocal students became well-rounded musicians.

Forensics The Loyola Forensics team had a successful and, most importantly, enjoyable year in both Speech and Congressional Debate, from the first tournament to the last. With several team members graduating in 2016, it was exciting to welcome so many talented and enthusiastic freshmen to the team, as well as new recruits from other years. Success came in many forms, from personal triumphs to individual and whole team recognition.

The baseball team finished up one of their best years in recent memory, closing the season with a 13-4 record overall.

The most wins recorded by the Knights previous to this year was last year, when they finished 9-9. This was also the third year in a row the Knights made it to the NYCAL Championship game, the only team in the league to do so in the past three years. The boys’ season started well right off the bat, going 5-0 during their Spring Training trip to Florida, including a nohitter from junior Bernard Witek. Led by seniors Paul Lorenc, Jarrod Sinibaldi, Jonathan Derks, and senior captains Jack Mullin, Pat Wareham, James Pizzitola, and Joe Scarpelli, the Knights never looked back from their trip to Florida. Scarpelli was a rock behind the plate, catching every inning of every game, racking up over 100 innings total. Pat Wareham played a stellar shortstop the entire year, leading off for the whole season and leading the team in batting. Pizzitola and Mullin were the team’s two aces, combining for more than half of their wins. In their journey to the NYCAL Championship, the Knights put together two separate six-game winning streaks. The Championship game vs. Browning was a great back-and-forth battle, ultimately leading to a 7-6 loss. The Knights look forward to next year from here, with great potential from their rising seniors, juniors, and sophomores.

The 2016 Lady Knights took NYCAL by storm this year, posting a regular season record of 5-1. Overall, the team led NYCAL in scoring with more than 120 runs scored, while yielding a league-low of only 52 runs.

The Lady Knights opened their season in grand style defeating UNIS 16-1 behind junior Willow Thornton’s one hitter while striking out 5 hitters. The team never looked back from there, winning the next four games. Seniors Nora Caliban, Sommer Queally, Julia Robinson, and Kiera Xanthos led the team all year with key hits and feisty defense. With the help of Thornton’s consistency on the mound, the Lady Knights soared through the playoffs on their way to winning the NYCAL Championship.

The first round of the NYCAL playoffs saw the Lady Knights defeat Columbia Prep by a score of 18-8. Kelly Breidenbach capped off the hit-parade by delivering the game winning hit to mercy the Lions. The ladies continued their dominance into the championship game against Trevor Day, with a landslide victory of 12-0. Caliban, Queally, Robinson, and Xanthos accounted for seven of the team’s twelve runs. The most impressive stats this year were Caliban’s eight homeruns and Thornton’s seven wins on the mound. To sum up a very successful year, Sommer Queally was named the NYCAL Most Valuable Player. The Lady Knights will look to build off of the success from this year, but will miss their graduating seniors.

Led by team captain, Peter Burke, and assistant captains, Andrew Mitchell and Jake Preston, and senior players Michael Pash and Ed Curry, the Loyola Golf Knights evidenced dedication and tenacity throughout the entire 2016 golf season. The NYCAL Golf League, however, proved to be formidable competition – from the Knight’s very first match in April to the league championship held in mid-May. The Knights began the season with an excellent start; in the first game of the year, the team easily defeated Calhoun 170 to 206, with Burke earning a six over par 38 and Mitchell a seven over par 39. But subsequent early matches proved challenging despite the Knight’s best efforts, resulting in close loses to Columbia Prep and Staten Island Academy. The team went on to win over Calhoun and Browning, but ended the season with a record of three wins and five losses and fourth place in the league championship. Importantly, these statistics do not reflect the passion and best efforts of our senior players and other team members. The Golf Knights offer special thanks to our senior leaders and to freshman Will Miller and sophomores John Pohmer, Owen Sheinberg, Colin McVeigh, and junior Arthur Perry for their impressive efforts in league play.

Congratulations on a great season Loyola Golf Knights!

Varsity Cross-Country (Boys & Girls) The boys’ squad, like the girls’, was awash with newcomers, and they refreshed the school’s running culture with their gritty mind-set. They notably generated a palpable esprit de corps, evident in their congenial banter and their willingness to pull one another through the tough workouts. The boys were led by a trio of runners: sophomore Ben James was the team’s No. 1 harrier, and juniors Frank Czuchan and Theo Aiello held the second and third spots. At the Manhattan College High School Invitational on Oct. 10, 2015 at Van Cortlandt Park, James ran the 4,000-meter course (2.5 miles), with its gauntlet of rollercoaster-like hills, in 16:41.9. Aiello was close behind, reaching the finish in 16:53.9.

Three freshman boys—Ikki Kaijama, Philip Mollerus, and Alex Alvarez—made their mark as well. At the Manhattan College Invite, Kaijima was the Knights’ top freshman finisher, completing the 1.25-mile course in 7:30.8. This stable of freshman talent will power Loyola’s cross-country success in the years ahead.

On Sept. 26, 2015 the boys competed in the Xavier High School 37th Annual Cross-Country Invitational. On this day, a resplendent, sunshiny one, Frank Czuchan was Loyola’s top harrier: he crossed the finish of the 4,000-meter course in 16:52.74, securing a handsome medal for his 22nd place in a field of 73.

A posse of six freshman girls revivified the program with their pluck and can-do spirit. This cadre was led by Ann Jacob, who received a medal for her 41st-place finish in a field of 91 runners at the prestigious Manhattan College High School Invitational, run on Oct. 10, 2015 at venerable Van Cortlandt Park. Jacob, a fearless runner, took the 1.25-mile course in 8:46.9; she was followed by Katherine Buttigieg, who also claimed a medal for her 67th-place finish and time of 9:40.9. Maria Estrada, Ariel LaForest, Sarah Axiak, and Sofia Daniels completed this clutch of enthusiastic freshman harriers.

With an abundance of green runners, the team sought leadership. And it was amply provided: juniors Bryanna Geiger, Francesca Marini Fichera, and Sierra Serinese and senior Hanna Taylor-D’Ambrosio stepped forward assertively to point the way. In addition to the Manhattan College Invitational, the girls toed the line at the Xavier High School 37th Annual Cross-Country Invitational, on Sept. 26, 2015 at Van Cortlandt Park. At the New York City Athletic League (NYCAL) Cross-Country Championships on Oct. 29, 2015 the season zenith, the girls summoned their best performances of the season, earning third place in the league.

Varsity Girls Volleyball The Varsity Volleyball team finished their 2015 regular season with a record of 5-5. The program has continued to develop and strengthen, resulting in the best record the Varsity Lady Knights have had in years.

The team hosted their annual Dig Pink Rally Tournament to raise awareness for breast cancer and were named back to back champions. This season’s success led to a third place finish in the NYCAL overall standings.

The Lady Knights defeated Trevor Day in the fifth set for an exciting quarterfinal match, but lost to Columbia Prep in the semi-final. This is, by far, the strongest team Loyola has had in years and the girls should be extremely proud of their accomplishments in turning this program around.

The 2015 Junior Varsity Lady Knights Volleyball season was filled with intensity, growth, and heart. The team consisted of six returning players and six newcomers, four of whom were freshmen. The returning players provided an endless supply of leadership and experience to the newcomers who were able to learn and grow because of the great example that was being modeled by the returning players. The season had a rocky start, but as the team played and practiced they only got better. By the end of the season the players knew what was expected of them and were able to execute it every game. While the team did not put up many W’s, they never gave up easily. The players fought to make every game as difficult as possible for the other team. With an influx of new players and returning players the Junior Varsity Lady Knights look forward to improving their skills to come back even better for next season.

Veteran Head Coach Fred Agnostakis looked toward the 2015-16 Varsity Knights season with cautious optimism. The Knights played confidently opening up with a road win against FSNY 71-47. The squad went on to win the third place game defeating the Waldorf School 51-29. Mike Frank garnered “All Tournament Honors.” The team headed into the Loyola Christmas Festival playing Florida Atlantic and Dalton. Matt Cooper and Frank were named to the “All Tournament Team.” The experience of practicing everyday over the Christmas break and playing in a tough tournament helped the Knights bond as a team. Coming back in the new year the Knights defeated league rival Browning 78-42 and dropped a close one on the road to Friends Seminary 53-50 before losing to Columbia Prep on the road 95-68. The team placed a tie for second in the Regular Season in the NYCAL. The team finished up with a 13-11 record playing a strong schedule. The era of Frank and Preston came to an end going 56-44 overall. Mike Frank became the Loyola Varsity Basketball All Time leading scorer with 2,005 points and Jake Preston scored an impressive 1,000 points as well. In addition, Mike Frank was named the NYCAL Most Valuable Player. “That was the greatest 1-2 punch we ever had here in my tenure,” noted Coach Agnostakis referring to Mike Frank and Jake Preston.

Junior Varsity Boys Basketball The JV basketball season marked the return of Coach Joseph after a one year hiatus.

He was welcomed by the experience and leadership of sophomores Michael Bannon, Michael McCormick, John Pohmer, Nick Pantelidis, and Ernest Frimpong. The team also had very talented freshmen Ian Wareham, Chandler Naylon, Christian Chandy, and Aidan Henegar. Sophomore Benjamin James and freshmen William Isler, William Miller, and Nicholas Slayton added to a solid core of young players. The young Knights were very balanced and patient in a season where the other teams were very strong. Their general

inexperience and lack of height showed against bigger teams like Columbia Prep, Trevor Day, and Calhoun. However, the young Knights learned from every defeat and improved tremendously over the season.

The Knights finished with a 3-11 record.

Many of those games were very close and the young Knights were competitive in every game. Their improvement has been steady and they learned how to keep and manage leads and win. Their level of poise, focus, and effort has increased tremendously and their spirit was great during this season. Coach Joseph really enjoyed guiding this team and hopes their experiences were valuable enough to make the Varsity team next season.

The 2015-16 Varsity Lady Knights season showed that if you do not get down in the face of obstacles, you can accomplish great things. The Lady Knights posted their winningest season in four years. They finished with a record of 18-7 overall, 10-2 in league. They earned the NYCAL regular season co-championship, the Lady Knights’ first 1st place finish since 2011.

The Lady Knights were capably led by senior co-captains Nora Caliban and Sommer Queally.

Junior Tori May Della Pace was the first Lady Knight to score over 400 points in a season since 2009, earned NYCAL First Team All-League honors, and was named the NYCAL Most Valuable Player. Three Lady Knights were named NYCAL Second-Team All-League players: Nora Caliban, Summer O’Sullivan, and Kelly Breidenbach. In December, Coach Palladino oversaw his 126th victory, making him Loyola’s all-time winningest girls basketball coach.

The Lady Knights look forward to continuing and building on their wins next season.

Junior Varsity Girls Basketball The JV Girls’ basketball team worked to overcome a number of challenges this year. Despite a couple of experienced players being injured for most of the season and a dearth of freshman trying out for basketball this year, the girls pulled together and moved forward. For some, it was a learning experience where the basic skills of dribbling, passing, and shooting were developed. For some, it was a chance to work to a level where they might move forward to varsity in the future. For Coach Haugh, it was a chance to immerse himself in Loyola basketball, learn the ropes, and try to share his experience of the game. Though the competition was tough, the team made strides over the course of the season, improving both their defense and offense through every game.

This evidence of improvement is one of the main purposes of a junior varsity program which, hopefully, will help keep the girls’ basketball program strong in the years ahead.

Boys Track & Field At the NYCAL Championships, held at Riverbank State Park on May 16, 2016 a small squad of Knights competed heart and soul. They were led by the team’s top athlete, junior Filippo Ravalli, a specialist in the 400 meters and 800 meters. Running in a crowded field of 13 runners jostling at the start, Ravalli weaved his way to the front pack to run a fine race, claiming sixth place in 2:24.90. An efficiently smooth runner whose light steps convey the mirage of a runner hovering above the track, Ravalli as well competed in the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS) Championships, on May 25, 2016 at Icahn Stadium on Randalls Island.

In the 800 meters at the NYCAL championships, Ravalli was joined by fellow junior Liam Clark, who was competing in his first season of scholastic track and field. Clark, a talented runner whose potential remains to be fully tapped, finished tenth out of 13 runners at the NYCAL championships, claiming a respectable time of 2:28.98. Ravalli and Clark partnered with sophomore sprinters Matey Bach and Ryan Miller to form Loyola’s 4x400-meter relay team at these championships. Miller, competing in his first season of scholastic track and field, was the team’s top sprinter. With growth and continued hard work, he will aspire to be a formidable sprinter next year.

The team was green, but revealed on occasion glimmers of exciting potential. The team must grow in numbers to become competitive. In addition to Bach and Miller, sophomore Gus Carter will be expected to continue his development in the sprints. And sophomore long-distance man Ben James will look to become a consistent force in the 1600 meters and the 3200 meters.

The track and field season came to its zenith at the New York City Athletic League (NYCAL) Championships, on May 16, 2016 at Riverbank State Park, and the New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS) Championships, on May 25, 2016 at Icahn Stadium. Both meets ran on resplendently pleasant, sunshiny days.

At the NYCAL championships, freshman Ann Jacob, undaunted by the knot of juniors and seniors competing in her 1500-meter event, ran a fine race that offered both instruction and motivation for the future. In the 800 meters, two talented first-year runners, junior Sofia Zalaquett and sophomore Martha Brown, punctuated terrific inaugural seasons with memorable efforts. On this day, Brown finished fourth in a field of 13 while claiming a personal best of 2:47.86. Her ferocious, breathtaking charge over the final straightaway, where she caught and passed two runners, stands out as a season highlight.

Both Zalaquett and Brown, awash not only in talent but tenacity as well, will be the nucleus of future success.

Other blossoming athletes will be counted upon to lead the program. These include freshman Ariel LaForest in the sprints, junior Ellie Brown in the middle distances, and junior Arielle Brutus in the field events of shot put and discus.

Senior Hannah Valente, the team’s top athlete, competed in her signature event, the 400 meters, and the NYCAL championships.

A courageous and disciplined runner, Valente summoned her powerfully elegant stride to cross the finish line in third place, with a personal record of 1:04.65. About nine days later at the NYSAIS championships, Valente put on her spikes again. Taking the baton as the lead runner for Loyola’s 4x400-meter relay team, Valente joined Sophia Zalaquett, Arielle Brutus, and Martha Brown to produce an exhilarating season-best time of 4:51.41. In this her valedictory event, Valente crowned a splendid scholastic running career.

The Loyola Knights’ approach to this season was different from the previous year.

Training started from March to May, so the players got a sense of each other and built chemistry. Preseason started in August with matches against very tough opponents: FASNY, Trinity, and Horace Mann. The offseason and preseason preparation helped to start the season with two wins against Trevor Day and Calhoun. It also helped the team remain competitive against the big teams of the NYCAL league (LFNY, Columbia Prep, and UNIS), but they were not able to defeat any of them. This season was one of highs and lows with a 5-6-0 record. The team was never able to get into a good run of victories, but overachieved from the season’s predictions. The senior members have shown incredible leadership and freshmen talent has reinforced the team’s attack and defense.

As most in our Loyola community are aware, during the season, the varsity soccer team, and all of Loyola School, suffered a devastating loss. Sophomore Thomas Jakelich passed away after sustaining an injury during a varsity soccer game. The injury was the result of a non-violent collision and it remains hard to even imagine that Thomas is no longer with us. We ask you to please keep Thomas and his family in your prayers.

Junior Varsity Soccer (Boys & Girls) With a high number of last year’s players moving to varsity, the team welcomed many new, talented, and dedicated team members. The team fought hard, training on a daily basis and working to improve their skills and techniques. The team never gave up, keeping the shots on goal low thanks to defensive players Ernest, Will, and Inigo. On the offensive side, players Victoria, Ita, Paul, and Chris made sure to keep the game alive, working to score as many goals as possible. Highlights include a victorious win over Browning, with a score of 3-2, ending the season on a positive note. Overall, the team had a great season, staying determined and enthusiastic the entire way through! Go Knights!

Joseph M. Acciarito jacciarito@loyolanyc.org 646.346.8133

I am excited about the opportunity to engage and connect with all of you as we work toward continuing the great legacy of Loyola School.

Over the past eighteen months in my time at Loyola, I have seen how welcoming and connected to the School Loyola alumni are. It is a true testament to the strength of Loyola that our alumni continue to be as involved and passionate as they are in the years after they graduate. As the saying goes, "you are a student for only a short time, but you are an alum forever." Loyola’s alumni are engaged and generous, and have a direct impact on the education we provide to the students today.

I encourage each of you to be involved. There are many committees that you can be a part of and we are always looking for volunteers to assist with our many events. The possibilities are endless! However you choose to get involved, we are here to make more things possible. Please do not hesitate to share any new ideas.

An integral way of staying connected to Loyola is by attending any of our many alumni events: Reunion, Alumni Night, Service Day, Alumni Dinner, Theology on Tap, Coach "A" Sports Day, the Benefit Gala, and the Shea-Armstrong Golf Classic.

Whether you graduated five or fifty years ago, staying connected with your fellow alumni and the School has never been easier. Updates on events, new developments at Loyola, and other information is all just a click away on our website (www.loyolanyc.org) and social media pages: Facebook (www. facebook.com/loyolaschoolny), Twitter (www.twitter.com/LoyolaSchoolNYC), Instagram (www.instagram.com/loyolanyc), and LinkedIn (www.linkedin. com/groups/165316). We are continually adding new photos and updating information, so please check back often. We hope you will take advantage of social media as a way to follow all that is going on at your alma mater.

If you have any questions, need additional information about ways to get involved, or supporting Loyola, please feel free to contact me via email at jacciarito@loyolanyc.org or direct phone line at 646.346.8133.

Sincerely yours,

Alumni Events | Service Day / Theology on Tap

Alumni Events Alumni Service Day Thank you to the wonderful group of students, parents, alumni, alumni parents, and friends who joined us for Alumni Service Day on Saturday, December 12, 2015. Our group participated with hundreds of volunteers in the St. Nicholas Project, hosted by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. In providing a great service, we helped shop for thousands of New York City natives, providing them with winter necessities. A special thank you to Catholic Charities for allowing us to partner in such a great event!

Theology on Tap The debut of this event was held on March 31, 2016 at Park Avenue Tavern, where a group of alumni heard from Rev. James Martin, S.J. who discussed what it means to know Jesus. Fr. Martin is a Jesuit priest, author, and editor at large at America Magazine, The National Catholic Review. In a very engaging discussion, guests learned about the importance of Jesus as being both human and divine.

We look forward to next year as we hope to continue our Theology on Tap series.

Alumni Events | Coach "A" Alumni Sports Day

Coach "A" Alumni Sports Day Loyola hosted our first ever alumni softball game on June 16, 2016. Coach “A” Alumni Sports Day was a great success and we hope to continue the series next year.

The teams were composed of players from the classes of 1994, 1999, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2014, 2015, 2016, and faculty. In what was a classic back-and-forth showdown between the “younger” alums vs. the “older” alums and faculty, the younger alums came out victorious by a score of 16-9.

Alumni Dinner Loyola’s Annual Alumni Dinner was held on Friday, February 5, 2016. We presented the Rev. James F. Fox, S.J. Award to Dr. Robert F. Meade and the Rev. Robert I. Gannon, S.J. Award was awarded posthumously to Mr. Glenn F. Pallen † ’64.

This year’s Alumni Dinner gathered our second highest number of registrants in the past five years, totaling about 160, including over 100 alums. On behalf of his father Glenn, Mr. Jason Pallen spoke from the heart in sharing his gratitude to the Loyola family on accepting the Gannon Award on behalf of his father. As a member of the Loyola family for over 30 years, Dr. Meade expressed his sincerity and thanks in receiving the Fox Award. On behalf of the Alumni Association Board, thank you for joining us!

We would also like to thank our volunteers for the day, especially Laura Armstrong, Marian Armstrong, Matt Hanley, Richard Duggan, Danilo Tramontozzi, Tom Hanley, Deidre Mahon, Ernest Frimpong, and Brendan Johnson – the day could not have happened without you!

Alumni Parents Association

Alumni Parents Association Just like Loyola alumni stay involved with the school for years after they graduate, we invite their parents to remain a part of the community as well.

The Association’s mission is to provide parents of alumni with a means of maintaining the bonds and friendships that began and developed while their child attended Loyola. The Association will work to accomplish this by hosting and planning events, communicating Loyola news, and securing volunteers and attendees for various events and outreach activities.

Membership is open to all parents of alumni and we encourage you to get involved and participate!

This spring we hosted a lovely wine tasting for our alumni parents. On April 21, 2016, alumni parents spanning over 20 years came together to learn all about rosé from Gianluca Rottura ’96, Loyola alumnus and owner of In Vino Veritas. The night was full of delicious wine, tasty hors d’oeuvres, and wonderful conversation. A great time was had by all!

The Advancement Office is looking for volunteers to be involved in the Alumni Parents Association. If you are interested, please contact Lara Torsky, Director of Annual Giving, at 646.346.8134 or ltorsky@loyolanyc.org.

On October 26, 2016, Thomas R. Jakelich was taken from his family and the Loyola Community in a tragic soccer accident which changed the landscape of their lives and our community forever. Since Thomas’ death, his mother Jeanine and his family continue to search for ways to work through the pain and grief of living without him. In doing so, they have found great comfort in exploring ways to keep Thomas’ connection to Loyola alive. They decided, in the spirit of their deep appreciation of Loyola’s personal contribution to Thomas, that a scholarship fund would be founded in his name. It is their desire to have this Scholarship grow to be an endowed fund that will be awarded to a student who embodies the spirit and potential of Thomas. The family wants this student to have the opportunity to feel as special as Thomas did from day one at Loyola.

Essentially, an opportunity to flourish and grow at Loyola School.

If you would like to make a gift to the Thomas R. Jakelich '18 Memorial Scholarship Fund, please contact Samantha Hanley '87, Vice President for Advancement, at shanley@loyolanyc.org or 646.346.8136.
