LANGUAGES FROM A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

By Teresa Meyer

As chair of the World Languages Department, veteran faculty member Linda Zins-Adams realizes the intrinsic value of language to students and the global perspective it presents them.

Within the World Language Department, Zins-Adams said she works across many languages to increase proficiency and exposure to culture in the classroom. She strives to increase a student’s intercultural awareness -- using authentic language appropriately in a way that demonstrates knowledge and understanding of cultures.

To communicate successfully, she said, “all students must be able to relate to their audience.

They should be able to react and respond appropriately to their personal feelings, attitudes, and perceptions as well as those of people of other cultures. Through the World Language Department, service programs and global immersion opportunities, Archbishop Moeller High School is affording future leaders alternate ways to evaluate personal feelings, thoughts and perceptions to understand others from another culture and use unique experiences outside of the classroom to reflect on their own lives and surroundings.”

Recently, Zins-Adams served on a Moeller committee to develop the Chaminade Global Scholars Program. This program “adds a rigorous academic layer to Moeller’s successful International Global Education programs through service, immersion, awareness, and experiences,” she said.

As department chair, Zins-Adams has experienced first-hand the importance of languages and global learning. She is passionate about facilitating learning beyond the classroom so students gain the ability to experience the cultures of other people and to be openminded, interested, and curious about differences among communities that exist in our global society.

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

She said she believes intercultural experiences provide the most meaningful opportunities for developing capacity in a language and invaluable skills in an ever-growing global community. This year, Zins-Adams is forging a new partnership with a school near Berlin, Germany. Students from Moeller and Mount Notre Dame High School will travel this summer to Bernau bei Berlin, Germany. Students will stay with host families, attend school, and take excursions to Berlin, Leipzig, and Potsdam.

“Students will even attend a cooking class in Berlin.

The class will be led by a recent refugee or asylum seeker able and prepared to share stories from the country and provide an event where participants will get to know each other and learn from one another.” she said.

Zins-Adams started the first AP German course at Moeller and encouraged fellow teachers in the department to offer AP courses in Latin and Spanish.

Her commitment to her students is evident in how they see her and appreciate her dedication. “I am impressed with Mrs. Zins-Adams’ ability and devotion to improving our education and language skills. Not only does she devote herself and time to our education, but she also dedicates herself to developing her teaching skills so she can, in turn, further improve education at Moeller. Her increasing knowledge and use of technology in the classroom is a great asset we have to use in our school,” said Riley Jones ‘17.

Zins-Adams’ contributions to Moeller and the general education community are even more extensive.

She serves as Advanced Placement (AP) Curriculum Director and College Board Advisor to the AP German Language and Culture Development Committee. In that capacity, she assists in writing the National AP German exam and creates lessons for AP German teachers to use worldwide. Prior to serving on the AP Development Committee, she sat on the National German Exam Committee.

Zins-Adams has conducted numerous state, regional, and national workshops and “webinars” for school districts or at various conferences. After being named the World Language Teacher of Kentucky and competing as a finalist as the National Teacher of the Year through the ACTFL (American Council on Teaching Foreign Languages), she presented keynote addresses in Louisiana, Montana, and Wisconsin for state organizations of World Language teachers. She served as president of SCOLT (Southern Conference of Language Teachers).

SCOLT is a regional organization providing professional development opportunities for world language instructors in 14 southern states.

Zins-Adams was honored with the Distinguished Alumna Award from the University of Cincinnati, the Federal Republic of Germany Friendship Award, and the AATG/Goethe-Institut Certificate of Merit, the Award for Excellence in Foreign Language Instruction Using Technology with IALLT (K-12), and the Outstanding German Educator from the American Association of the Teachers of German.

Her impact nationally is nothing short of exceptional.

David Jahner, the college board director of world languages, wrote: “Linda Zins-Adams begins planning

her instruction with the end in mind, and constantly seeks out ways to spiral her content, thereby creating her well known and often quoted “schöner, runder Kreis” (A beautiful, round circle). While many colleagues are aware of her prowess with integrating technology as a learning tool in a meaningful way, what may be a little less known is her emphasis to incorporate activities that deliberately do not include technology and focus instead on tactile, kinesthetic learning. For example, she has students create objects out of Play-Doh to represent vocabulary so that students can “feel” the language and interact with each other in ways sans technology,” said David Jahner, college board director of world language.

Linda Zins-Adams has been married 26 years to Kent Adams. Kent is a graduate of Wyoming High School and is a local business owner. They have two children, Jacob ,19, and Gretchen, 11. Jacob attends Mount St. Joseph University, where he is majoring in computer science, mathematics, and business. Gretchen is in the fifth grade and is active in lacrosse and dance.

ADVICE FOR A LIFETIME: TRUST YOURSELF “If you aren’t in over your head, how do you know how tall you are?”

-- T.S. Elliot

By Matt McLaughlin ’05

A poster in Moeller Classroom 323 bears the quote.

Elliot’s call to challenge oneself explains how Moeller teacher and author Geoffrey Girard not only operates in his classroom, but also in life.

Fourteen years ago, Girard traded corporate suit-andtie to conquer a new challenge: teaching English to high school students while pursuing a career writing fiction. As a teacher, department chair and author, Girard pushes his students daily and himself to new heights. Girard enjoys challenging his students and being challenged, living life and teaching based on one principle: “Trust yourself.”

Born and raised in Cherry Hill, N.J., a Philadelphia, Pa. suburb, Girard discovered his love of literature. It began in third grade when he found a copy of The Lord of the Rings on his dad’s dresser.

“I could read it. It was cool. It was the first adult book I’d ever read and I was hooked,” he said. From there, Girard found himself immersed in fantasy, comic books, and horror -- specifically the works of Stephen King. “King was an English teacher, but did more than write cool stories; he was smart enough to give breadcrumbs (to readers) to check out other great authors while also teaching the writing process.”

Girard quickly became interested in other great writers such as Lovecraft, Poe, Jackson, and Bradbury. “My library expanded, expanded, expanded.” Girard admits he wasn’t a great student, but one day, decided to start raising his hand. “I started arguing with my teachers; I’d volunteer for roles and parts or play devil’s advocate. To me, this was enjoyable. I think that’s how a teacher was born.”

8 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

Girard credits his continuing love of literature and desire to become a teacher to his junior and senior honors English teachers, Barbara O’Breza and Joseph Truitt. He dedicated his first novel to them. Girard also acknowledges the impact his father, a history teacher, had on his quest to become a teacher. He “always kept his classrooms both lively and challenging” and has taught at the same Catholic university for 40 years, Girard said.

Girard attended Washington College in Chestertown, MD., majoring in English literature. After college, he moved to Cincinnati in search of a teaching job.

Timing was key. Without a teaching position in sight, Girard took a temporary job with Cincinnati Bell. It ultimately led him to a job in marketing. Barbara Pinzka, a marketing executive at Bell, helped Girard get his foot in the door in advertising and public relations. He immersed himself in the marketing world.

“She taught me how to write, and how to write well.

How to change voice. How to adapt to different clients.

This is when I really blossomed as a writer,” Girard said.

He advanced through various jobs, and companies in the 90s, and he finally found himself coding and working with the growing Internet. In his mid-30s, after ten years in corporate America, Girard experienced an early midlife crisis. “I had a cliché moment at 35 of ‘do I want my tombstone to read: he made websites?’”

With support of his wife, Mary, Geoffrey left the business world. At the urging of one his classmates at Xavier University, where Girard was working on his Master degree, he submitted his resume to Moeller

and shortly thereafter started his teaching career.

Girard quickly dove into life at Moeller -- extending himself beyond that of an English teacher. “From day one, I felt like there was a strong Marianist sense of community -the Moeller family. Teachers and students really had each other’s back.

It was never ‘us versus them;’ it was a team.”

A lifelong lover of chess, Girard saw a need for a chess team and stepped up to be chess team coach and has been for 14 years. He became involved in Moeller service trips, including multiple visits to the Navajo Reservation, Mexico, and New Orleans. He worked with the cross country team, the football team, and in the theater program. In 2012, he took over as the English Department Chair.

Though busy within his new career at Moeller, Girard never lost sight of his love of writing and earned a Master in Arts in creative writing from Miami University while continuing to write and publish novels. In 2013, Girard’s first major novels were published by Simon & Schuster: Cain’s Blood and Project Cain, a youth novel. He credits his students for encouraging him to write both books.

Girard has two more books set for release in 2017: Truthers, a book for teens about 9/11 and conspiracy theories; and Mary Rose, a “thriller/ghost” novel written for a Hollywood studio. Girard spends many weekends at various conventions and book fairs around the country.

He leads writing workshops and has been a panelist with such authors as George R.R. Martin and R.L. Stine.

“The original Cain’s Blood came from a novella I published in a magazine about cloning serial killers.

One day in class, we were talking about serial killers, and the students were interested, but didn’t know much. It occurred to me that I could clone serial killers and rewrite (the original novella) in a way for teenagers. I could introduce them to serial killers, cloning, and to the history of violence.”

When it comes to his own writing and his own writing process, Girard admits he immerses himself in research for at least six months -- learning about the topic. Ideas for books come from his own curiosity, often pertaining to a group of people or an unfamiliar topic. “I wrote Tales of the Eastern Indians entirely because I wanted to learn more about Native Americans,” he said of one of his early books.

9 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

When he starts writing, Girard admits he has the beginning and the end in mind and, as he writes, he begins to connect the dots. Never comfortable with the “status quo” and always looking to challenge himself, Girard is currently earning his Master of Fine Arts Degree in creative writing.

This summer, he spent three weeks in Japan researching for an upcoming novel for Harper Collins. Girard’s literary agent paired him with a college professor who had been doing research on the first non-Japanese samurai. While in Japan, Girard and his colleague visited battlefields and temples to walk in the footsteps of this “soon-tobe-famous” samurai.

Prior to the trip, Girard was excited about learning and experiencing the culture of a country he’s never visited.

As the English Department Chair since 2012, Girard has implemented several new initiatives.

He is proudest of the writing center -- a studentled, peer-to-peer organization where Senior AP students have the opportunity to help others students. “Not only does the writing center help the writer, the AP Seniors learn as well... We learn the most when we read someone else’s work; we’re too attached to our own pieces.”

Another major change in the curriculum of the English Department came in the 2016-2017 school year with the introduction of semester-length, student-chosen electives. This idea for change was the result of Girard finding himself in a teaching rut. “I can’t teach Hamlet one more time! As a teacher, I found myself unchallenged and I wanted to change that for everyone…students and teachers.” Girard has recognized the need to prepare students for college, to give them the ability to choose, and to expose them to different teachers and personalities.

“I knew we could give our students more options.

We could offer a ton of classes and they could take a couple of classes they want and were interested in... The electives are designed (so).. students of all abilities can be successful.”

Girard always focuses on the students. “In terms of 10 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

curriculum, I know where we’re going and I know how to get there. But, I listen to what the students want. When they respond to a lesson or topic, we go deeper. I like to keep things moving...(and) lively.” Girard’s goal for his students is to help them become critical thinkers and to think outside of the box.

“There are 100 different ways to do things and each student has a different background, ideas, and strengths,” he said. Girard believes this is where true creativity and intellectual growth emerges.

He reminds his students to “trust yourself” -- a personal concept he likens to Father William Joseph Chaminade who said teaching is “providing individuals the ability to master their own destiny”.

Girard and his wife, Mary, have two sons, Erich (’13) and Doug (’15) who attend Kent State University. In spare time, Girard likes walking in the woods with his dogs, playing the guitar, and floating in his pool while re-reading paperbacks.

MOELLER SENIOR ASKS THE WORLD TO REMEMBER SYRIAN REFUGEES

Hadi Akbik snaps a selfie with his new friends.

By Melinda Zemper Contributor

Moeller senior Hadi Akbik is only 17, but he already has a big life goal: to make certain the world doesn’t forget the people of Syria.

Hadi traveled to Jordan for 11 days this past July with his father, Dr. Humam Akbik, and medical and humanitarian volunteers with the Atlantic Humanitarian Relief nonprofit.

The weather was hot, the roads dusty, and the group drove to Amman each night because they weren’t allowed to stay in the camps.

Hadi met young Syrians living in three different refugee camps and tells some of their stories in a video he has completed called The People of Syria—A Documentary.

“The war has been going on for seven years,” said Hadi, “and a lot of the kids were born in the camp and don’t know any other life. The first camp was less organized and a lot smaller than the other two. There was not much infrastructure. The second two camps are better funded and have schooling. Yet, work is the first priority—if you don’t work, you don’t get to live in the camp.”

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

Hadi with some of the children in the refugee camp.

About 6.6 million Syrians have been displaced since the war began, and another 4.8 million have left the country -- many seeking refuge from violence, malnutrition and deficient infrastructure in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq, according to Hadi’s film.

The refugees leave with the hope of someday returning home. About 1.4 million Syrians have lived in Jordan since 2015, many of them living in camps in Zaatari, Rukban, Mrajeeb and Al Azraq. Two million of the refugees are children, many of them born in the camps and needing medical attention. Four out of 10 Syrian children have been displaced from their homes.

While some of the younger group members brought clown costumes and entertained the refugee children, Hadi decided he preferred to bring the refugee story back home. He completed film interviews of two 15-year-old boys working up to 13 hours a day in the strawberry fields at the Madaba camp in Jordan.

12 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

They moved to the camp in 2011, because guns fired at night and jets flew overhead -- a harrowing experience. Their food was cut, bakeries were closing and they couldn’t obtain gas to cook. The infrastructure was crumbling. So their families ordered a car one morning and they were in Jordan by noon that day.

At Al Azraq camp in Jordan, about 33,000 people are split into four villages. Many of the children there were removed from school for years as the Syrian war escalated; education is finally offered for the children, but the camp is not Syria. The camp is not home.

“I was pretty shocked because my dad had been going to Jordan for years,” said Hadi. “When we first got there, all the kids gathered around us. And these kids—they could have been me so easily if my parents hadn’t left Syria.”

Hadi interviewed a young man named Arab, also 17, who came from Damascus, the same city the Akbik family emigrated from 24 years ago. Arab lives in the Zaatari camp, population 80,000, where fifty-seven percent of the people in the camp are children, and there is an average of 80 births per week, according to Hadi’s film. In the camp, many of the children are forced to work.

Arab told Hadi on camera that he used to want to be a journalist when he was little because he loved English, but his two little brothers died in front of him, so now he wants to be a pediatrician. Before he moved to Jordan, his family lived a luxurious life. Since he has lived in Jordan, he’s joined the refugee class. He’s worked on fruit farms, in bakeries, as a blacksmith, an extra in documentaries, and has sold bread. He came to Jordan with his family and cousins in 2012.

When Arab first arrived at the camp, his father wasn’t with their family group, so Arab had to be the man in the family and work in the fields. During Ramadan, he fasted as he worked the entire day. His blue eyes became bloodshot from working in the hot sun and dust. When his father finally arrived in the camp, he was able to provide for the family again.

Arab’s life in the camp is hell, he told Hadi, and education is bad, but it is slowly getting better. If he could get out of Jordan, he would.

Arab’s dream, since he was 13, was to visit Los Angeles because he heard it was such a beautiful place. He said he had neighbors in Syria who visited Paris and America, and he wished he could have done so as well.

“But if I go to America, I can see you guys, and finish my studies to be a pediatric doctor,” he said in the film.

Hadi said it was difficult to leave Jordan and come back to the U.S. “I just cried because I got super close to Arab and then had to leave him there,” he said. Since electricity and internet service are sporadic, he and Arab communicate with each other through Facebook Messenger.

As Americans, Hadi said, we tend to forget about the Syrians and the refugee crisis. Many of his fellow classmates do not understand the suffering on the other side of the world.

“The way they talk about the Syrians indicates they don’t see them as people,” he said. “I’ve heard any amount of times that we should just ‘nuke’ the entire country. It makes me so disappointed; I want to show the world that the Syrians are people and kids. The refugees want to go back to Syria, but they can’t right now. If there are changes, they can go to another country, and will. These are educated people—doctors and lawyers.”

After Hadi graduates in the spring of 2018, he hopes to attend either the University of Michigan or The Ohio State University. He wants to study medicine and law.

He played soccer for a couple of years, but now is captain of the Mock Trial Team, a National Honor Society member and a house leader for the student body. He is also on the Crusader Calvary rally committee and enjoys student life at Moeller. He leads the student section at pep rallies.

Hadi said he has always been passionate about theater and film and is working now as an intern for a nonprofit called Unified for Uganda, which was formed by a Moeller teacher in 2005.

Hadi said he hopes to visit Jordan again and bring a few American friends. He feels very close to Syria. His grandmother still lives in Damascus and his family used to go to Syria each year until war broke out in 2011.

“My father saw he had to do something, and if he hadn’t started the organization, I wouldn’t have had the organization to go with,” he said. “Humanitarian work is a very important kind of aid; in fact, sitting down and hearing someone’s story is as important as any surgery.”

Hadi’s video was aired at a full school assembly in October. For more information about volunteering to provide humanitarian or medical support to Syrian refugees in Jordan, contact Dr. Human Akbik at www.atlantichumanitarianrelief.org. The group is planning another medical mission trip to Jordan in November.

FROM MOELLER TO THE MAJORS: BRENT SUTER’S JOURNEY TO “THE SHOW”

By Steve Albrink ‘08

Every time Brent Suter takes the mound for the Milwaukee Brewers lessons learned at Moeller High School go with him.

The journey to the majors can be grueling and emotional, but Suter insists there were many foundational values he learned at Moeller that have helped his rise to “The Show.”

“One of the biggest things Moeller provided me ... was a hard work ethic and competitive mindset,” Suter said. “Whether it was in the classroom or on the athletic field (it is necessary) to give 110 percent and not take anything for granted.”

Suter, a 2008 graduate of “Big Moe” is in his second season with the Brewers and sixth overall within the Brewers’ organization. Suter notes life as a big leaguer can be “laid back (at times) but the main focus is to do what you need to do ... to perform the best on the field.”

Suter said life at Harvard University helped further develop his values beyond Moeller. “Harvard helped me strengthen my mindset to be up for any challenge and to have more drive in the classroom and on the field.”

Nevertheless, Suter said a huge part of his foundational development at Moeller were the 16 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

character-building people he was around: “Moeller provided me with great role models from CK (Coach Carl Kremer) to Coach Tim Held and Bill Braun. They instilled the ‘never give up’ (mindset) and they had a great work ethic which showed me what working hard can do for you.” The competitive environment at Moeller also helped, he added.

The Catholic faith and the Marianist philosophy were also instrumental in Suter’s foundation of success on and off the field, he said.

“The ability to develop my faith at Moeller and take the lessons I learned has helped me,” he said. “It has helped me with relationships with teammates, my marriage and just being a solid human being.”

During his successful journey to the majors, Suter has drawn on values he would share with any Moeller student who has a dream of making it to the highest level of any profession: “To stay the course, work hard and stay grounded in your faith -- whatever that may be -- because it can take you a long way and help you through the tough times when they arise.”

These values have helped the man nicknamed, “The Raptor” tame some of the hitters he faces everyday in the big leagues. Suter said facing players you see

on television growing up and his teammates is “really, really fun. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself and think, ‘Man I am in the majors,’ and, it is so (much) fun to compete against these guys.”

Suter said the player he has looked forward to facing is Sterling Marte, outfielder for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“I had always grown up watching him and it was pretty exciting facing him and having success against him” Suter said. Although he hasn’t had a lot of success against Joey Votto, Suter said picking him off first base in one of his first major league appearances was “very cool.”

to the weight room to get a lift in or head to the training room to do soft tissue therapy,” Suter said. It’s routine to begin stretching and throwing at least four hours before game time. Afterwards pitchers begin bullpen sessions followed by batting practice.

Suter explained, “the team (then) heads back to the club house for final preparations for the game with some players going to the hot tub and others just doing final film work to lock in focus.”

Suter’s experience in the big leagues and the grueling schedule isn’t the cakewalk many picture. It’s a new challenge every day --doing what the team needs to win in the major leagues.

Off the field, “we do a lot of community building and charity events,” Suter said. He mentioned a bowling event at the end of August with pitcher Matt Garza’s charity organization that was fun and rewarding. Other off-field activities include pastimes such as fantasy football drafts and video game tournaments.

Suter said most days he arrives at the stadium by noon and often grabs coffee or brunch with other players on the way. “Once we arrive at the stadium, I normally head

For this ‘08 Moeller graduate, staying true to the values of hard work and being loyal to himself and his team has turned 2017 into a magical season.

MARIANIST’S: PROVIDING 200 YEARS OF EDUCATION

By Walt Schaefer

At the same moment October 2, people serving at Marianist Institutions around the globe paused and prayed.

It was a joyful occasion. Two hundred years ago, the Marianist family was founded -- the Society of Mary comprised of priests and brothers and the Daughters of Mary Immaculate, the Marianist Sisters.

At Moeller, students and faculty gathered at 2 p.m.

-- the assigned hour in the Eastern Time Zone. They circled around the statue of Mary in the Marianist Courtyard to say a prayer written for the occasion, said Kevin Wood, who helped organize the celebration. The occasion also included Mass celebrated by Marianist priest, Father Jim Schimelpfening.

Moeller’s Marianist roots are deep. The House System designation reflects its Marianist heritage and the celebration included brief presentations of each house name and its connection to Marianist history: *Eveslage House is named for Brother Lawrence Eveslage, S.M., Moeller’s first principal. He dedicated his life to high school education in the Marianist Tradition. * Pillar House is named in honor of Our Lady of the Pillar. While praying in front of Our Lady of the Pillar’s statue in the cathedral in Zaragoza, Spain, Father William Joseph Chaminade received the inspiration to return to France and start the Society of Mary. * Quiroga House is named after Brother Miguel Quiroga, S.M., a young Marianist from Colombia. In 1998, at the age of 26, Brother Miguel was defending the rights of the poor when Columbian paramilitary forces killed him.

* Trinity House is named for the first community started in the United States by the Marianists. In 1849, the first Marianists arrived in Cincinnati from France.

They started teaching in grade schools and named their community the Holy Trinity Community. * Zaragoza House is named for the city of Zaragoza, Spain, where Father Chaminade was exiled during the French Revolution and where he received the inspiration to start the Society of Mary. * Zehler House is named for Brother Max Zehler, S.M. one of the first Marianists to arrive in the United States. In 1852, he was named Brother Superior of St. Mary’s School for Boys in Over-the-Rhine and laid the foundation for Catholic education in the Marianist Tradition in Cincinnati and the United States.

Marianst Brothers Robert Flaherty and Ron Luksic serve at Moeller today -- Flaherty for 50 years; Luksic for 37.

Brother Flaherty said he was immensely pleased with Moeller’s celebration. “The all school Mass ... as well as the simultaneous prayer recited around the statue Our Lady of Moeller by the entire Moeller Family was exceptionally well done and was a physical reminder of one of the outstanding qualities of Marianist spirituality, namely, inclusivity,” he said. “I am sure that our local celebration of the Marianist Bicentennial made Blessed Father Chaminade beam with pride” Brother Luksic related the long Marianists ties to Cincinnati.

“One of the things that is important for Cincinnati and, as a result, Moeller, is the Marianists, when they

came to the United States, first came to Cincinnati so our history here is connected. We were here two years prior to when our founder, Father Chaminade, passed away,” Brother Luksic said.

“We were working in Over-the-Rhine then at what is now Old St. Mary’s Church. We were at Elder High School.

We started grade schools when we came over and the brothers taught in them... We were at St. George (Clifton) and we were in a couple of parishes on the west side,” he

said. “We started teaching at Elder around 1929 when the bishop asked us if we would go and start Purcell (High School). We left Elder in pursuit of starting Purcell.

“In 1960,” Brother Luksic said, “they asked us to start Moeller. They took a good group of parishes from Purcell and made them Moeller parishes. When Moeller started, probably 90 percent of students came from south of the school; now 90 percent come from the north.

Institutions of higher learning, including the University of Dayton, have Marianist roots.

“A couple of brothers went to Dayton and got caught in a cholera epidemic and couldn’t make it back to Cincinnati, so they eventually started the University of Dayton as a result,” Brother Luksic said. “In 1849 or 1850, the trip from Cincinnati to Dayton wasn’t jumping onto I-75 so they got caught (in the epidemic). The University of Dayton was founded in 1850.”

Bicentennial Prayer Gracious and loving God, God of our founders, you have blessed us with 200 years of mission and mercy.

Lead us on, Lord.

St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas (1852); and Chaminade University in Honolulu (Hawaii) also are Marianist.

Make us good stewards

The growth of the Marianists was rapid and worldencompassing.

to accomplish Mary’s mission

From the time Father Chaminade founded the Marianists in Spain while in exile in the wake of France’s bloody revolution (1789 to 1799), the order grew across Europe, then across oceans.

With great thanksgiving

While the number of Marianists has decreased in recent decades as has the number of vocations, the order still ministers in more than 30 countries worldwide. They sponsor 18 secondary schools, including Moeller; three universities, four retreat centers and six parishes.

Father Chaminade died in 1850 and was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2000.

WATCHING SUCCESS FROM A FRONT ROW SEAT

By Walt Schaefer

When Jim Wahl returned to Moeller High School after several years away, he discovered a gap.

As with all alums, Wahl ‘80 departed Moeller with a great education and, after graduating with a degree in marketing and management from the University of Cincinnati, embarked on a successful career. He owns a company promoting the products of industrial manufacturing clients through trade journals.

Moeller is “such a different place than it was when I went there. Back in my day, they talked about the family atmosphere and that is still absolutely true. Our boys can cite example after example of the brotherhood and how they support each other’s victories, but they also support each other in defeat as well. When good things happen people are always there to share the joys with you. When bad things happen, people are always there to console you.”

He married his wife, Trish, and they have two sons, Harry and James, and a daughter Emma -- their oldest and a 2012 graduate of Mount Notre Dame High School. The Wahls live in Madeira and are active in St. Gertrude Parish.

Added Trish: “Moeller has been a wonderful place for us. I’m absolutely convinced that the reason for our sons’ success is the base they have been given there.

They’ll go out into the world with what they have achieved and accomplished there.”

When his sons were fast approaching high school, the light bulb came on. While Wahl had not been back very often since graduation in 1981, he was a Man of Moeller -- true to his school. It was the place to send Harry, class of 2013, and James, who just graduated in the class of 2017.

Yet, Wahl said he sees so much change from four decades ago.

When he came back to the Moeller campus, Wahl discovered change -- amazing change. A change he and Trish saw it more than a shift. Moeller had transformed itself into a school preparing young men to tackle today’s issues. It was no longer the Moeller of yesterday, but a school with a true vision of tomorrow.

It was then when Jim and Trish Wahl realized Moeller was so special it deserved their personal help and financial support.

“We belong to the Marianist Society (of donors) and just increased our generosity to the school to that level,” Jim said. “Why? We have had a first row view of what’s going on at Moeller. With our sons, we just finished an eight-year run and, to be honest, I hadn’t really spent much time up there until then. It wasn’t like I was a really active alum or anything like that.”

26 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

“I certainly think the House System has been a huge improvement and part of the change since I’ve been there. Today, you’re going to see one teacher every single day in your high school career -- no matter what classes you have, or what schedule you’re on. You’re going to see your mentor teacher for your four years.

That means there is going to be someone who knows if you’re doing well, or if you’re not doing well. They usually can tell at a glance if something is wrong and can help guide you. They do a nice job of that.”

There are 42 mentor groups within the House System. They provide more opportunities for leadership. Moeller also gives many opportunities for leadership, Trish said. “James was Mentor Captain of his group when he was a senior. But, every mentor group has those leadership opportunities instead of there being only two or three leadership groups in the school.

Harry tested out of Algebra I and was put in Algebra II honors,” Trish recalled. “He was struggling as a freshman and they paired him with a senior in his mentor group.

You can have that kind of tutoring and help.”

Photographed from left to right: Trish, James ‘17 and Jim Wahl ‘81. Photo credit: Gavin Gray.

“Back in 1981,” Jim said, “there was much more of the freshmen, sophomore, junior, senior striations. Seniors didn’t really interact (with underclassmen) unless you were razzing them. James played football through junior year. Ever since he was old enough to put on a helmet, he’s been playing football. In freshman year, he was in mentor group and two of the seniors were saying. ‘James you have to play rugby’ and told him how great it is. Sure enough, he found rugby to be a great experience and it was because of the seniors in his mentor group.”

The school’s changing character convinced the Wahls to invest although their sons have now graduated.

Jim also noted Moeller’s pastoral ministry program as a school asset that has changed over time.

“And, another thing special about Moeller is that the school takes almost everyone,” Trish said. “There are some students Moeller won’t take if they don’t they think they can be successful academically. But (there are) ... kids with different academic backgrounds and they give them more skills. If you are very bright and in honors, they have a great program but if you’re not, a great education is still there while you’re involved in all of these activities.”

“Pastoral ministry and in-service opportunity is a huge change,” he said. “I do not remember that from my time there but ... (it is beneficial) for them to get out of their own comfort zone a little bit and see that the whole world isn’t all ... middle-class families who have two cars and everything else they need. It’s great for them to see other things in this world and realize the blessings they have.”

“We have given to tuition assistance and general operating (needs) where they figure out whatever is needed,” Jim said noting today Moeller fosters a “giving back” attitude. “Another thing that makes it a unique place is the Youth Philanthropy Council where students research to discover worthy causes and donate without using their own money but donated money.”

“You graduate with the brotherhood; and there is no elitist element to it.”

RECENT MOELLER GRAD HONORED FOR VOLUNTEERISM

Harrison Daniel gives back.

By Teresa Meyer

When Harrison walked up in front of the Class of 2017 to receive the President’s Volunteer Service Award, his classmates gave him a standing ovation. No real surprise to anyone who knows Harrison. His dedication, not just to Moeller but to organizations such as the Cincinnati Zoo, Ronald McDonald House, and Night for the Fight made him the ideal recipient of this prestigious national award.

The award recognizes Americans of all ages who have volunteered significant amounts of their time to serve their communities and their country. The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program grants the honor on behalf of the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation. It is sponsored by Prudential Financial in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals.

“When I was in the seventh-grade my father took me to a rescue shelter to volunteer,” said Harrison of Pleasant Ridge, currently a freshman at Kent State University. “That day changed my life and helped guide me in seeing the importance of volunteer work and community service. When I volunteer my time and help within my community my heart feels so full and I know that I am helping. I have learned a lot about early childhood education from the amount of hours that I have dedicated in my community. I have seen the positive results...”

John Strangfeld, chairman and chief executive officer of Prudential Financial , said, “the recipients of these awards demonstrate that young people across America are making remarkable contributions to the health and vitality of their communities. By recognizing these students and placing a spotlight on their volunteer activities, we hope to motivate others to consider how they can also contribute to their community.”

28 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

JoAnn Bartoletti, executive director of the National Association of Secondary School Principals said: “Demonstrating civic responsibility through volunteerism is an important part of life. These honorees practice a lesson we hope all young people, as well as adults, will emulate.”

The schools and officially-designated organizations nominated local honorees. Those applications were advanced for state-level judging. In addition to granting President’s Volunteer Service Awards on behalf of the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation, The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards selected state honorees, distinguished finalists and Certificate of Excellence recipients. Volunteer activities are judged on criteria including personal initiative, creativity, effort, impact, and personal growth.

At Kent State, Harrison is majoring in early childhood education. He said his commitment to service and volunteering is still, and will always be, his biggest passion.

112 MEN OF MOELLER RECEIVE LIFE-CHANGING SCHOLARSHIPS Named scholarships are life-changing gifts.

By Teresa Meyer

Through the generosity of donors who continue to give tirelessly, Moeller’s Named Scholarship Program provides an opportunity for more students to receive a Moeller education.

During the 2016-2017 academic year, 112 students received financial support through the program and 20 new named scholarships were established.

Each year, the Scholarship Breakfast brings scholarship donors together with the students they financially support. This event is meaningful for the donors and students. Many donors enjoy spending time and talking with the students to discuss what they are learning, what courses they are taking and how they are planning for college.

“This is just one way we like to thank our donors and show them the importance of what it is they are doing,” said Moeller President Marshall Hyzdu ‘96. “To be in that moment and share a meal and talk with a student who is the recipient of your named scholarship is so impactful. Many of the relationships our donors have with our students will carry on throughout their lives.

Each donor’s kindness touches every student 30 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

and teaches them the valuable lessons of giving back, family spirit and the importance of a Moeller education for continuing generations. These gifts impact many students and impact the path they choose later in life.

They impact their families and carry on the Moeller legacy.”

In their hands, our involved alumni, parents and friends hold the future of the Men of Moeller achieving a Catholic education. Financial scholarship assistance is presented annually to need-based students who have applied for scholarship and tuition assistance.

THE INVALUABLE DIVIDENDS OF A MOELLER EDUCATION Editor’s note: Recognizing the bicentennial of the founding of the Marianists, the following reflection was submitted for publication by Tony Sansalone ‘78, an alumnus who developed religious scholarships for Moeller.

I walked into Moeller High School in the autumn of 1974 full of excitement and expectation, with a little bit of apprehension mixed in. I wasn’t sure what to expect.

My parents had a deep commitment to Catholic education; but with eight children, we all had to help earn our way, whether through academic scholarship or economic contribution. My two older siblings attended Catholic school on academic scholarships, but I had to earn the money to pay my way.

The lesson of earning my Moeller education has paid invaluable dividends every day of my life, and my appreciation and gratitude for that education is never ending. The faculty and staff at Moeller found a way to tailor my educational needs and goals to my abilities. The Marianist fathers and brothers of Moeller were a constant presence of support and guidance from my acceptance to my graduation.

Sometimes it takes decades to understand the effect on your life of a certain time, place or person. It’s only then do you realize that the experiences, lessons and the examples have become a part of you. If you’re lucky, you can look back across all those decades with gratitude for the foundation laid for you by others who sacrificed to improve your opportunities; and you recognize that you have the responsibility to respect the gifts you were given by making those opportunities available to future generations.

I had many strong Marianist mentors at Moeller, and then at the University of Dayton Law School. It is difficult to single out one man above another; however, the ones that I believe had the greatest effect on my educational career are the following: Father Lawrence Kreusling: After advocacy from my parents, Father Kreusling accepted me into Moeller although I did not do well on the placement test. Father Kreusling always found the time to stop me in the hallway, check in on my academic studies and assure me that whatever help I needed to navigate the rigid academic environment would be available.

Father Robert Marine: Father Marine found a way to keep me on the right path and channel my energy into productive pursuits. He was always cool and well reasoned, and had a genuine and purposeful manner.

Father Joseph Tedesco: Father Tedesco and I bonded over our common Italian heritage and, through our talks; he became a safe haven for academic help, and someone I never wanted to disappoint.

Brother Elmer Lange: Brother Lange introduced me to the literature of the American West and gave me a passion for reading, writing and expression.

My love for this literature and for the American West continues to this day.

Father Vincent Vasey: I encountered Father Vincent Vasey at the University of Dayton Law School. Father Vasey nurtured in me a love of the law and the skill set to navigate law school successfully.

He instilled in me an understanding of contract law I can still recite today. It has been invaluable in my legal career and business pursuits.

Each of these Marianists taught and mentored with a moral, intelligent and dedicated approach to education.

Each made an unconditional commitment to the Catholic education of young men, and each fulfilled that commitment with pride and humility.

Their commitment is reflected in every student who was fortunate enough to learn from them, and who went on to live a moral, responsible life committed to faith, family and community. I am very pleased I can give back something in their honor.

Aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright once said, “If I were giving a young man advice as to how he might succeed in life, I would say to him, pick out a good father and mother, and begin life in Ohio. To that I would add: “and get a Marianist education!”

There is also an additional religious scholarship honoring Brother Charles Wanda.

THE CHANGING CLASSROOM Classroom 2.0 provides a state-of-the-art environment for students.

Moeller High School partnered with the University of Cincinnati’s DAAP (Design, Architecture, Art and Planning) program to design and renovate one classroom in November 2016.

The classroom design consists of new technology, air conditioning, lighting, acoustics and furniture. As a Marianist school, one of the tenets of providing a quality education is to “adapt and change with the times,” as Father William Joseph Chaminade professed in establishing the Society of Mary. Classroom 2.0 delivers on that mission by providing students a modern classroom environment designed to help them achieve success and reach their potential.

Inside the New Classroom New technology systems allow faculty and students to collaborate on individual and class projects.

Projection systems and video monitors enable students and faculty to display and discuss their work in different groups simultaneously. Charging stations and data connections afford students of the “digital native” generation to connect to the world and each other in ways not possible in current classrooms.

Enhanced ventilation, humidity control, and fresh air quality extend the use of the classroom’s spaces into the summer months, and betters the learning environment. Improved energy efficiency and upgrades to mechanical systems reduce long-term utility expenses.

New programmable LED indirect lighting increases energy efficiency and visual clarity in the rooms.

The LED lighting is programmable with a variety of settings to coordinate with activities happening in the classroom -- video presentations, reading, instruction and test taking.

34 • ARCHBISHOP MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL

MOELLER MAGAZINE FALL/WINTER 2017

Amplified voice technology through the new sound reinforcement system augments the audio clarity, volume and faculty instruction. Installation of acoustic ceiling tiles provides the necessary cushion in the classroom and hallways. Inside the classroom, new carpet and tack-friendly wall surfaces allow for even more controlled sound absorption and reverberation.

Updated central intercom speakers improve security by providing clear communication with the central office.

Comfortable furniture increases the flexibility of the classroom setup. This allows students to collaborate in a variety of large and small group settings, and provides opportunities for faculty to deliver instruction in innovative ways.

“The new classroom design is a vast improvement.

The natural lighting keeps me energized and ready to learn, and the technology in the room facilitates new ways of learning,” said Tyler Quehl ‘17.

The second phase of the project occurred this past summer. The third phase is expected to complete the projection in the summer of 2019.

The next steps in renovation include: updating classrooms, hallways and restrooms on all three floors of the school. There are currently 16 classrooms remaining for donors to purchase with naming rights.

Interested Moeller family and friends may structure payments over three years -- $25,000 each year -- to reach the $75,000 required for naming rights.

“Investing in classrooms where teaching and learning are taking place is crucial to leadership and formation -- a core of our mission. Our classrooms have seen 60 years of use and, in order to fulfill our mission, we need to adapt and change in ways of modern learning,” explains Mike Volan, chief advancement officer.

Anyone interested in learning more about Classroom 2.0 should contact Mike Volan at MVolan@Moeller.org or 513-618-9687.

Faculty Notes Geoffrey Girard, Moeller English teacher, has had two books recently published: Truthers, a thriller about 9/11 written specifically for teens; and Mary Rose, a gothic novel in a modern setting.

The novels have already received nice endorsements.

Publishers Weekly gave Truthers a rare starred review: “In this intense thriller... Girard takes readers down a disturbing path; both sides start to make sense as information is revealed and theories are debated. It’s a fast-paced nail-biter with a resourceful heroine, packed with surprises that force readers to question every revelation and take nothing at face value.”

The book also received acclaim from the: School Library Journal, Booklist, Mindy McGinnis, Edgar-winning author of A Madness So Discreet and The Female of the Species; Kristen Simmons, author of the ARTICLE 5 Series and Metaltown; YA Book Central and Natalie Richards, author of Six Months Later and One Was Lost.

J. T. Ellison, New York Times bestselling author of Lie to Me, called Mary Rose, “an exceptional gothic thriller.

Girard’s literary roots shine through, and the dread rises with every turn of the page. Mary Rose will send a true chill down your spine. A haunting, scary and beautifully written novel.”
