Our Mission Marin Catholic is a Roman Catholic college preparatory school serving young men and women. Consistent with our Gospel values, we are committed to the education of the whole person. As a community that values faith, knowledge and service, we provide our students with a spiritual, academic, and extra-curricular environment.

We expect our students, through their experiences in the classroom and as active members of the school community, to develop the attributes of an educated person: responsibility, both personal and social; critical thinking ability; and appreciation for the complexity of the world around us. In partnership with parents, we hope to instill in our students the confidence that will empower them, as informed and compassionate individuals, to effect change in our world. We are committed to learning as a lifelong process.

rom the President....

Dear Friends, Every time I see an alum, they ask the same question: Alum: How is Marin Catholic?

Me: Great. Everything is still the same and everything is different.

My answer usually elicits a confused look, but after a few minutes of conversation they are reassured that everything is still the same (tradition) and everything is different (we are advancing our mission in new and wonderful ways).

Recently, with the help of Bishop Daly, Tom Lippi, old handbooks, and many yearbooks, I worked hard to construct “The History of Marin Catholic.” It is nothing more than a 20-30 slide presentation, but I believe it captures the rich sense of our history from the founding Archbishop to becoming co-ed in 1965 to our first MCAL title in 1983. All these milestones make Marin Catholic what it is today. We know who and where we come from. We know why and when important decisions were made. With the good and the bad, it is our history.

At some point in a student’s academic career (hopefully earlier than later), they ask the question, “Why do we need to study history?” Unfortunately, it takes being a part of a history of something to really understand why.

As an administrator, perhaps one of my strongest gifts is simply that I have been here for nearly 20 years. As a result, I have experienced a significant amount of important decisions and am often one of the people who says, “We tried that ten years ago and here’s why that wouldn’t work.” But I only speak with conviction when I know the history.

This year our Board of Regents will lead an entire school community process in developing the next 20-year Master Plan for the campus. Hopefully this process will set out the sign posts for the future leaders of a “same but different” Marin Catholic, creating yet another chapter in the history of Marin Catholic.

On the following pages you will find a timeline of important milestones that make up Marin Catholic’s history. I hope you enjoy learning about the past 65 years, as I recognize that if you are reading this magazine, you, too, are a part of the rich history of MC. In Christ,

Tim Navone President

Marin Catholic Traditions: H o m e c o mi n g At Marin Catholic, we pride ourselves on the traditions we keep, and perhaps none more than Homecoming. While we no longer fly our Homecoming Queen away in a helicopter as we did in the 1970’s and 1980’s, it still feels like a look into the past.

This year’s Homecoming, which took place on Saturday, September 27, was the first Homecoming celebrated at the new Dino Ghilotti Motta Stadium. Full stands cheered on the Wildcats who took an early lead against San Marin and kept the momentum throughout the game, resulting in a 55-3 win and touchdowns scored by 7 different players.

Over 100 alumni enjoyed the view from the Ghilotti Bros.

Observation deck for the 3rd annual Alumni Homecoming Beer & Bratwursts. Guests were treated to complimentary beer and bratwursts courtesy of Brendan Moylan of Marin Brewing Company/ Moylans. An enjoyable time was had by all, kicking off several class reunions which took place later that evening.

We look forward to inviting our Wildcat alumni back for this special tradition next year.

Congratulations to Maggie McCallister ’15 who was announced Homecoming Queen at halftime.

4—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

Just by telling someone the year I graduated from Marin Catholic, (1997), they get a sense of who I am. Having grown up in the 80’s, all who share this graduation year saw the explosion of the Internet in college, Bill Clinton as President, and the Green Bay Packers winning the Super Bowl. It defines the lens through which we look at life.

As the Director of Advancement and Alumni Relations, I have the privilege of interacting with many different people, all whose graduation year instantly tells me something about who they are. High school, no matter what, is a formative time. The time and social context of when one walked the halls of Marin Catholic are unique, but historical events aren’t what people remember when they come back to campus. High school is about who you spent your time with, who you grew up with . . . the people who know your high school stories.

Marin Catholic alumni love to tell me tales of times past. High school crushes, student antics, and ‘teacher stories’ always top the list. They marvel at how the physical campus has changed, yet they laughingly tell me stories about which locker was theirs when they were a freshman or who their date was for Homecoming. They look at their high school class graduation photo in our administration wing and proceed to point to familiar faces of their classmates and remember.

Marin Catholic is here, same as it has been since 1949, helping students create memories in their unique time and place. This magazine is one way of sharing the good news about the current student experience, but we need the Alumni to create the traditions that our recent graduates can expect to encounter on their alumni journey. I encourage you to remember the people who shaped who you are today by attending Homecoming each year. Your classmates and teachers are part of your story, and I hope you take time to reconnect.

New Dino Ghilotti Motta Stadium Completes Marin Catholic’s 20-Year Master Plan

6—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

Marin Catholic officially opened the Dino Ghilotti Motta Stadium Complex on Friday, September 5 at a celebration for the Ghilotti Family and other major benefactors of the project.

The opening of the Stadium Complex marks the completion of our 20-year Master Plan, first developed in 1994 with the commitment to provide our students with stateof-the-art facilities in every area of student life. With full community input, the Master Plan’s highest and earliest priorities were updated classrooms, educational technology, library renovation and the science labs.

Later, a theater and art wing were built, along with a beautiful chapel, bell tower, and the Saint John Paul II Student Center.

The final piece of the plan was the $4.2 million stadium project, designed to be a place for community gathering and to be a reflection of the successful athletic program that has become synonymous with the name Marin Catholic.

At the September 5 kickoff event, former President Bishop Thomas A. Daly blessed the Stadium and Dino’s father Dick Ghilotti spoke of the spirit his son leaves behind since his tragic accident last year during his graduation weekend from the University of Miami. Dino came to Marin Catholic as the Outstanding Academic Scholar from San Domenico and graduated from Marin Catholic where his passion for learning, arts and athletics were finely integrated. In 2008 Dino earned First Team All-MCAL as a Defensive Back and Second Team All-MCAL as an All-Purpose Offensive player.

President Tim Navone also shared the meaning behind the name Motta, which is the maiden name of Dino’s mother, Nancy. Motta is a name whose rich legacy Dino came to better understand after spending time in the city of Miami where his mother grew up.

Strength & Conditioning Facility Marin Catholic understands the value of optimal athletic development for their sports teams. That is why the effort was put forth to build one of the finest Strength & Conditioning facilities in the nation. MC Strength & Conditioning coach, Jeremy Lawson, selected the equipment and designed the facility’s layout to provide our athletes only the finest training facility possible. The equipment was provided and assembled by Sorinex, who also provides training facilities for NFL teams and major Division I athletic programs. Because Marin Catholic used Sorinex for this project, we can say with confidence that our training facility is at the level of an NFL team or major Division I athletic program.

“During my nearly 20 years here at Marin Catholic, I have seen all the components of the Master Plan happen,” says President Tim Navone. “But this one was special for many reasons. Being the final piece of a 20-year plan was significant because there is not only a feeling of ‘We did it’, but also it opens a new door for a dream for another future vision. In addition, this project really touched the hearts and souls of our community because it was named for Dino, who himself touched so many hearts and souls in his short life. Dino’s presence in this stadium is palpable. He was the most humble, mature kid you could imagine. He had such a generous spirit. We hope this new complex will reflect all the positive feelings he brought to those he came in contact with.”

The new stadium complex features a state-of-the-art strength and conditioning facility, stadium seats, two new locker rooms, the Wildcat Cafe, men’s and women’s restrooms, and a grand Alumni Deck with panoramic views of the field and Mount Tamalpais.

From the Chair of the Board of Regents, David Friend On behalf of the Board of Regents, I am pleased to announce the kick-off of Marin Catholic’s 2015-2035 Master Planning process. As Marin Catholic is in its 65th year, the Master Planning process finds us looking to the future from a position of considerable strength. With the completion of the Dino Ghilotti Motta Stadium Complex this fall, we are bringing to a close an incredibly successful 20-year Master Plan. The plan (initiated in 1995) saw the completion of almost every major project envisioned in that design, including the Library, Administration Wing and Classrooms (dedicated September 3, 1997), the Wiegand Visual Arts Wing (dedicated June 25, 1999), the St. Francis Chapel and Monardo Bell Tower (dedicated September 5, 2003), the Bishop Thomas A. Daly Field (2003), the Richard Ghilotti Family Field (2006), and the Saint John Paul II Student Center (dedicated on October 2, 2009).

Through several visits to leading high schools in Northern California and meetings with their administration and faculty, the groundwork for the new Master Plan began at the end of last school year. Over the summer, the process progressed with interviews of potential firms to assist Marin Catholic in developing our plan. The Board of Regents plans to submit the final plan to the Archdiocese towards the end of this academic year.

The aim of this Master Plan will be to build upon the strengths of Marin Catholic and refine its curriculum, pedagogy, and practices to continue offering students opportunities to develop the skills and habits needed to navigate an increasingly complex and dynamic world. As part of this process, Marin Catholic must ensure that the facilities will support the school’s aspirations.

Through master planning, the school will evaluate the adequacy of existing educational facilities and assess which facilities and facility improvements are needed to improve the learning environment of all Marin Catholic students. It will also identify a financing strategy for completing the necessary facility improvements and assess opportunities for expanding and enhancing Marin Catholic’s presence in the community.

Who is developing the plan? The entire Marin Catholic community--students, parents, teachers, staff, alumni, and community members. Throughout the next several months, there will be multiple ways to get involved and share your feedback. Please keep an eye out for e-mails about forums and meetings for all segments of our community.

In mission,

David Friend Regent FALL 2014 MARIN Catholic —9

Graduates and Families Gather for Baccalaureate Mass Marin Catholic students, parents, faculty, staff and friends gathered for the traditional Baccalaureate Mass to honor the graduating seniors, their many accomplishments, and to ask for God’s blessing.

Members of the Class of 2014 were involved in planning this special Mass, which took place at Mt. Carmel Church the evening before the graduation ceremony. This year’s Celebrant was Marin Catholic’s Monsignor Robert Sheeran.

During the homily, Monsignor Sheeran used the analogy of a book and how each day is a new page in the story of our lives. Marin Catholic has filled many pages and chapters in each senior’s life story, and God is watermarked on each page as He guides us along our journey. No matter how glorious or how tragic one day may be, when the next day comes we have a new page with the same God loving us and being there to help us write our narrative. Graduation is not an ending of one chapter but a commencement of a new one as students go on to their various destinations. The invitation is to keep God the focus and He will provide, one day at a time.

The Reverend James T. Tarantino Distinguished Teacher Award Presented to Rick Luther!

Mr. Luther has taught math at Marin Catholic for 17 years, including Honors Algebra II, AP Statistics, and Algebra II. Mr. Luther is not only known for his dedication, patience and extreme care for his own students, but also for students he hasn’t taught. He enjoys teaching math because of the challenge and the opportunity to build confidence in his students so that they can be successful in ways they didn’t dream possible. When asked what he loves about teaching at Marin Catholic, Luther states, “I love working in a cohesive community where everyone has the same focus in helping our students develop into self-actualized young adults.” Mr. Luther was selected as the recipient of this award by a vote from the senior class.

Dee Gambardella Delores ‘Dee’ Gambardella joined us on this special occasion to watch her grandson, Dante Gambardella ’14, enjoy one of his final rites of passage as a Marin Catholic student. Dante is her last grandchild to graduate from MC. It is hard to think that Mrs. Gambardella first started attending MC community event 43 years ago in the Spring of ’71.

Thank you for your enthusiasm, support, and continued love for Marin Catholic. Always great to see you!

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE

CLASS OF 2014 GRADUATION

Marin Catholic’s Graduation Ceremony included two outstanding student performances. Christina Farber and Emily Thompson performed “Name On A Page,” written by Christina Farber especially for MC’s graduation ceremony.

Nate Friend, Alexandra Gallo, James Quick and Matt Sherman performed “Rivers and Roads” by The Head and the Heart. There was many a May afternoon where you could hear their wonderful 3-part harmonies echoing through MC’s campus, as they sang song after song.

Their practice was repaid with a long, standing ovation following their stellar performance.

“Name On A Page” by Christina Farber • Emily Thompson – Vocals • Christina Farber – Guitar “Rivers and Roads” by The Head and the Heart • Nate Friend – Guitar, Vocals • James Quick – Guitar, Vocals • Ali Gallo – Vocals • Matt Sherman – Acoustic Bass

The Head and the Heart, the band who wrote “Rivers and Roads,” loved the graduation performance and shared the video on their Facebook page which brought in over 2500 likes!

Student Spotlights James Quick ’14 Standout music student and recent Marin Catholic graduate, James Quick, reflects on how MC guided him into being the musician he is today.

Marin Catholic helped him to become a phenomenal guitar player with the help of Mr. Smith Stewart. James took 2 music classes his senior year: Jazz Band and Contemporary Music.

James says he enjoys the diversity in the music program. “In one class I’m playing with a big band playing jazz charts and the next class I’m singing and playing acoustic guitar with the folk duo. It’s a really nice small community within the music program thanks to Mr. Smith Stewart.

“It’s just so much fun to play with all the different musicians who are really fond of and passionate about the music they play. To be a part of that, has been an amazing experience.”

James plays in a trio with two other MC musicians where they practice and play gigs outside of school. They have formed a strong friendship and connection through their love of music.

“Part of the Marin Catholic community has completely changed me because I’ve made friends that I know I’ll keep through college. Especially the music: I have made an unbelievable amount of progress musically. No matter where I go, I know all I have, started at Marin Catholic. That is where I got my foundation.

It’s going to always have a special place in my heart.”- James Quick ‘14

Nate Friend ‘14 “It’s sad leaving Marin Catholic because this is where I began to love and play music, but I’m also very excited because I know I’m going to continue playing music after my time at MC. One of my favorite highlights was playing at the senior showcase.

We played in a restaurant bar, it was like a real show! I enjoyed getting a taste of what it was like to be a real musician.

The music department supported me by giving me a little bit of space and freedom in what I chose to play. I think that really helped me because it showed me how to enjoy what I played and to love music more. Mr. Smith-Stewart helped me rekindle a love for music and helped me really enjoy what I do again.”

Paul Smith-Stewart ’04 “Our music faculty has a great cross-section of academic knowledge and professional music industry experience. This balance really helps us prepare the students for music not only in a college setting, but also the real world of music. My favorite part about teaching music at Marin Catholic is being with our students day in and day out. I love those small moments of realization when a student understands a concept for the first time, or finally nails a section of a song they have been working tirelessly on. It is an absolute joy for me to help facilitate those moments of inspiration.”

RECAP

A LU M N I E V E N T S Dino Ghilotti Memorial Turkey Bowl Honoring Dino Ghilotti ’09 (above) Started in 2009, an alumni flag football game was organized by Dino Ghilotti ’09 and John Tewhill ’09 and became a tradition they observed the day after Thanksgiving each year.

2013 marked the first year that the game was played in honor of Dino Ghilotti (Dino Ghilotti Memorial Turkey Bowl). It is a great tradition that brings members of the alumni community back together to reminisce on all the good times they spent as students at Marin Catholic. It is a tradition that will continue in honor of Dino and his passionate love for both football and Marin Catholic.

40th Reunion- Class of 1974 On June 7, the Class of 1974, Marin Catholic’s 25th graduating class, celebrated its 40th Reunion. The reunion committee was able to track down nearly 140 of the 167 graduates and over 60 attended along with guests.

MC classmate Norbert Bajurin, defender of the 34th America’s Cup, hosted the reunion at the Golden Gate Yacht Club. Norbert is the GGYC Commodore who was responsible for securing the America’s Cup race in San Francisco and is featured in a book about the race, The Billionaire and the Mechanic.

A spirit of camaraderie filled the Yacht Club as classmates chatted like schoolgirls (and guys). The buzz was punctuated intermittently with cries of recognition and was interrupted solemnly to toast the 6 classmates who have passed away. Many classmates continued the revelry for hours after the Reunion ended.

Barteau Classic (above) In 2004, while late Dick Barteau was ailing in the hospital, a group of recent MC grads (‘99-’03) got together and played a full fledged tackle football game. They filmed the event and sent the highlights on to Mr. Barteau with personal messages of strength and encouragement. What started as a fun game to put a smile on Coach Barteau’s face has turned into a yearly family get-together with a flag-football game followed by food and drink to honor the memory of one of the most beloved figures in the Marin Catholic Athletic community. In order to encourage broader participation and protect the aging bones of the alumni who participate, this year’s game will shift from flag football to softball. Please come out and support by cheering on the “I still think I’m an athlete” Alumni or throwing on a glove and playing in the game yourself. The game will take place on Friday, November 28, 1:00pm on the Bishop Thomas A. Daly baseball field. Come celebrate this decade-long tradition!

60th Reunion- Class of 1954: Only the fourth class to graduate from MC (below) On July 23, the Class of 1954 enjoyed a Mass served by Father Andrew Spyro followed by brunch in the Saint John Paull II Student Center. The 42 guests watched the construction of the Dino Ghilotti Motta Stadium complex while sharing stories of the past. “We appreciated the history update and modern day information about our Alma Mater...it’s a wonderful institution with great faculty and staff and the student representative (Lauren Sharps ‘15) was charming, too. We’d like to think that we had a ‘big part’ in its formation.” - Sally Neal Pola ‘54

Neuroscience comes alive with this activity on neuropathways and neuron building!

The brain is a muscle. Just like any other muscle, it needs nutrition and exercise. In order to learn about brain health and fitness, each student played the role of a neuroscientist. Their tasks were to absorb, imagine, create, collaborate, hypothesize, invent, and use their prefrontal cortexes to arrive at solutions and exercise their brains. While considering the human brain in the context of evolution and in comparison to other organisms, the students passed around and examined the brain of a guinea pig. Other topics discussed include selective attention, cerebral spinal fluid, neurotransmitters, and the effect of stress and tobacco on the brain. Throughout the discussion of neurons, neuronal connections, hippocampi, and brain plasticity, students with creative or correct comments were given the opportunity to choose objects from a pile of “brain junk.”

The students later used their rewards to construct brain cells and neuronal networks that reflected their creativity.

Nicki Clausen ’15: Serving a World Away

24—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

PROJEC TS

By Sarah Coduto ’15

Seven weeks in Uganda may seem like a trial to some, but for senior, Nicki Clausen, the trip is a little more like Heaven. This summer, Nicki spent nearly two months in Busia, Uganda, working to build a library for the New Hope for Children orphanage. After spending her days painting and organizing the new library and playing with the children there, Nicki came home with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and renewed faith in God. In her sixth week in Uganda, Nicki reflects, “Every time I want to take a shower, it is cold… I don’t think I have even had a lukewarm shower since being here, but that’s okay because the cold shower is refreshing after a while!” This is just one instance out of many on Nicki’s blog in which her trademark enthusiasm becomes apparent. Whether she is faced with administering medicine every hour, on the hour, to a young boy with severe allergies; joining a dance competition with zero practice only to win a goat; or finding spiders the size of her hand; Nicki does everything with a smile. “Auntie Nicki,” as the children at New Hope called her, with the encouragement of family, friends and even teachers through comments on her blog, spent almost the entirety of her summer “serving a world away” (the title of her blog), working in the orphanage’s kitchen and setting up the new library.

Perhaps the most remarkable aspect of Nicki’s trip is that she chose to do it all on her own, opting not to partner with any organized group or association to make her trip. Instead, she herself came up with the idea to hold a book drive in Marin so that she could establish a library at New Hope once she got there. Nicki first got the idea to travel to Uganda after her friend and mentor made a similar trip to work at New Hope. The mission, Nicki’s mother says, was “a God-centered, Christ-based mission to love and serve the children.”

After nearly six months of planning, Nicki finally departed for Uganda on June 19. Two days passed before Nicki arrived in Uganda; the trip from the airport in Entebbe to Busia alone took around six hours. “The hardest part of being here,” Nicki reflects on her blog a few days after arriving, “is learning all of the kids’ names… There are so many children that it has gotten difficult!” According to UNICEF, Uganda’s population includes 2.5 million orphans, 1.2 million of whom have been orphaned by AIDS. In 1993, The New York Times ran an article referring to the country as a “Nation of Orphans,” citing a 1991 report that claimed that one in four children in the Rakai and Masaka districts is an orphan. Though eleven years have passed since the article was written, little has changed.

AIDS-related deaths are still one of the most common forms of death in Uganda, accounting for 63,000 deaths in 2013, leaving countless children without parents. In 2012, 1.5 million adults in Uganda were HIV positive. If Uganda continues to practice ineffective methods of HIV and AIDS treatment, the nation’s orphan population will continue to grow.

Although the orphans’ situation was heartbreaking, Nicki’s trip was largely defined by joy. On June 26, Nicki posted, “Today I sat down next to Isaac and we had such a good conversation about God. He was telling me that God is his best friend and that he prays for me every night.” Doing everything from attending a Church service with a sermon entirely directed toward encouraging the missionaries and volunteers to washing her clothes by hand with a bar of soap, Nicki never lost sight of her hope to complete the library, her joy or her faith in God.

MC Students Study Age-Related Illness at the Buck Institute By Sarah Coduto ’15 The Buck Institute on Aging, located in Novato, California, is the nation’s first independent biomedical research center devoted solely to the research of age and age-related illness.

This summer, three Marin Catholic students – Nicholas Perazzo ‘15, Charlotte Kwok ‘15, and Parker Evans ‘15 (pictured above) – found themselves with the amazing opportunity to do research at the Buck Institute.

Each student, with the Institute’s multitude of laboratory equipment, performed independent research, honed in on his or her abilities to work effectively in a laboratory, gather substantive data, and present his or her findings before a group.

Nick Perazzo first became involved with the Buck Institute through his grandmother, who works at the front desk and was able to secure him an internship after years of taking him to work with her. Nick’s work was primarily concerned with the tardigrade, a microorganism commonly referred to as the water bear, which possesses remarkable resilience and even the ability to help cure forms of cancer. His internship consisted of developing a protocol to culture the water bears, allowing scientists at the Buck to use them as model organisms in their research.

“My favorite part of the internship,” Nick says, “was getting to know kids at so many different high schools around Marin and the Bay Area. I also enjoyed going on hikes around the Buck and enjoying the beauty of Mount Burdell.” Of the experience as a whole, Nick reflects that it was difficult to understand the multitude of work that goes on at the Buck, but that he undoubtedly left with a greater understanding of what it means to work for a research center.

26—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

Charlotte Kwok refers to her experience with the Buck as “not only educational and helpful, but also fascinating and fun.”

Charlotte, who was introduced to the program by recent alumnus Kristian Monterroso (Class of 2014), spent her summer in the Institute’s Kennedy Lab, where she worked with rapamycin, a drug that has been shown to nearly double the lifespan of certain mouse models. Developing her own experiment and hypothesis, Charlotte ran western blots, a particular type of experiment that detects specific proteins, ultimately producing a presentation and poster on her findings to deliver before the entire Kennedy Lab. Occasionally clocking in eleven-hour days to finish some of her more difficult experiments, Charlotte notes that though contradictory results could be frustrating, “these moments… showed me what it truly meant to be a scientist conducting bench research… I am proud to say that I am confident in my abilities to run a western blot and produce good, reliable data.”

Parker Evans had always been interested in working for the Buck Institute during the summer but was unable to, as he had been attending summer classes at UC Berkeley. This summer, however, Parker gave up attending Berkeley for the opportunity to conduct research in the Buck’s Campisi lab on cellular senescence. Senescence, also known as biological aging, affects arguably every complex organism, and accounts for three-fifths of human deaths across the globe. Parker’s job at the Buck Institute was to use drug testing to “design a possible therapeutic pathway for senescent cells” along with a team of “passionate, veteran senescence researchers.” Parker notes that the most challenging part of the internship was finding the time to work forty-hour weeks at the Institute, but that the work “expanded [his] awareness of current and past scientific endeavors in related research.”

MC’s Nature Enthusiasts Study Wildlife Population in Montana By Sarah Coduto ’15 This summer, three of Marin Catholic’s nature enthusiasts were given the opportunity of a lifetime – working on the American Prairie Reserve with the Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation to observe populations of bison, prairie dogs, and big horn sheep on a Reserve in northeast Montana. Maxence Fulconis ’15, Connor Merrion ’15, and Maxwell Kelly ’17, with the help of Adventure Scientist guides, learned about GPS use, noninvasive wildlife tracking, and more, working toward making this tract of land a wildlife reserve on the same level as Yellowstone National Park.

The plains bison, once an iconic symbol of the openness of the American prairie, are in serious trouble. Where these animals were once described as “innumerable” by 18th century European explorers, their numbers have dropped to below 500,000, with only an estimated 7,000 of the same purebred lineage as those seen running on the plains nearly three hundred years ago. The American Prairie Reserve, with the assistance of ambitious students like Fulconis, Merrion, and Kelly, seeks to restore the bison to their natural habitat while also providing ample opportunity for wildlife lovers to see these iconic creatures in their natural habitat.

“This trip was fun and educational at the same time,” says Maxence Fulconis. “It was an experience I will never forget.” With seasoned naturalists from the Prairie Reserve, Maxence and others crossed the Montana plains, monitoring the movement of plains animals using camera trapping, a practice that involves the use of infrared cameras to detect the motion of wildlife.

Idyllic as the setting was, the trip did not go off without a hitch.

“Our last night on the prairie came to an unexpected end when word of rain got to us,” says Connor Merrion. “Soon after we set off, I decided to roll my window down and take a look behind us, expecting to see large thunderheads in the fading evening light. What I actually saw was much worse, or really what I didn’t see. There was nothing but darkness… There was no light, no sound, no movement, just blackness. ” Summer thunderstorms in Montana are uncommon, but not unheard of. The most common of these are dry thunderstorms, which greatly increase the risk of wildfire due to the deadly combination of large amounts of lightning and no rain falling. A thunderstorm, while interesting to watch from the safety of a building, is a dangerous thing to be exposed to, especially in an area with a high fire hazard.

The storm, though terrifying, gave Connor some perspective: “Everywhere I looked there was nothing but suffocating darkness and the low rumble of distant thunder. In that moment, in awe and terror of something so much greater than myself, I couldn’t help but feel tiny.”

Interdisciplinary Studies A student and teacher collaboration on the concept of acoustics

This past school year, Marin Catholic’s physics, calculus and music teachers took lesson planning to a whole new level with some out-of- thebox thinking. Students in these courses had the opportunity to see how some very important concepts in the fields of physics, calculus, and music interrelate. Teachers Mr. Berkhout (Physics/Calculus), Mr. Mosse (Pre-Calculus/Music), and Mr. Smith-Stewart (Music) came up with the idea to bring their classes together to study acoustics (the properties of sound). The completion of this project required students to use knowledge from each of these three subject areas.

28—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

Before delving into the specifics of this project, we warn you that some of the subject matter might not make a lot of sense. Put on your thinking caps because here we go!

First, students were introduced to the concept of acoustics in their individual discipline classes.

Mr. Mosse showed his students how one can add and graph sine functions to approximate the overtone series on a musical instrument. This was the basis of one of Mr. Mosse’s Master’s projects in which he synthesized the tone of his saxophone by adding overtones using calculus and physics formulas. Mr. Berkhout, a physics teacher and trumpet player, showed his students how to derive the naturally-occurring overtone series of an instrument using a mathematical ratio based off the fundamental frequency of a given musical note. Mr. Smith-Stewart, a bass player and avid math enthusiast, showed his students how a note played on an instrument corresponds to a specific frequency in Hertz. When you analyze that note on a spectrometer, you see that it is actually made up of many different frequencies in varying degrees of amplitude, and that is what leads to the actual tone of an instrument, called timbre. Timbre is the reason that a clarinet and a trumpet can play the same note but still sound different.

Students then took this individual knowledge and were put in trios (pre-calculus, physics, and music) and were given a series of challenging questions that could only be answered if the students shared their knowledge with each other. Using an iPadbased spectrometer app, students measured the frequency and amplitude of a musician’s note. After recording their findings, students then had to identify overtones by frequency and note name using their knowledge of ratios, sine functions, and music theory.

After many minutes of number crunching, they were asked to think more outside the box and answer the questions “Why is the relationship between music, physics, and mathematics important?” and “Why is it important to have a holistic understanding of this relationship? ” The teachers received some very impressive answers, and the students took away a very valuable lesson in interdisciplinary concepts.

Some of this might have sounded confusing to you, but that is okay. That’s the point!

These teachers wanted to think out of the box and show their students how much they can learn from each other. Students gained valuable insight into team dynamics, collaboration, and projectbased learning and in a fantastic learning experience for both the students and teachers.

Wishing them Well… 2014 Marin In May 2014, the Marin Catholic faculty and staff celebrated our two retirees, Karen Racanello and Lynn Gray, who have contributed endless amounts of time and energy to the Marin Catholic community.

Karen Raccanello has retired after 43 years of service as a teacher in the San Francisco Archdiocese and 30 years of service at Marin Catholic. There is no one more devoted to our school’s mission, no one who brings more energy and more passion to the craft of teaching, no one more loyal to her students and colleagues than Mrs. Raccanello.

We thank our beloved Signora for her service. And, like Mrs. Gray, Karen will be missed, but we expect that she will continue to be active in our faith community. Thank you, Karen, for your countless contributions to our school.

Lynn Gray, a member of our community for nearly 20 years, has served faithfully, always with a smile, always with a great sense of joy, knowing all and seeing all from the front desk.

We thank Lynn for her incredible contribution to our school over the years, and we wish her all the blessings of retirement. She is missed tremendously but we all know that MC is her home and we expect that she will never wander too far. Thank you, Lynn.

32—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

On Karen Raccanello - A Reflection from Tom Lippi I salute my friend and colleague Karen Raccanello as she closes the book on a brilliant and fruitful career in Catholic education. I know that retirement must feel, at best, bittersweet, for you could not be as good at this job of ours as Karen is unless you loved it, and it is hard to leave behind something you love. But how satisfying it must be, too, to look back on the years and know you did good work, wonderful work, never gave anything but your best.

Karen did many things and held several titles over the course of her career, but in her head she was always a teacher first. And what a teacher!

On a personal note, I have “opened” this place for years with Karen, in the very early hours. One of us turns on the lights, makes the coffee. We exchange a few words (OK, it’s rarely a few words with Karen…). We speak of parents, children, projects, weddings. The state of affairs in education. Good days and bad days. And always, as we head into our rooms, a word of encouragement: here we go… let’s do this… andiamo.

I have started each day inspired by someone who has been doing this work even longer than I have, and who may love it even more than I do. I’ll miss the simple morning rituals. But I’ll be happy for Karen as she is embarking on great new adventures — and drinking better coffee…

Karen Raccanello will be a very hard act to follow. The space she has occupied here will be impossible to fill, certainly not in the same way. And that’s a good thing, something to which we should all aspire. Karen has helped to shape the ethic, the character, the quality of this place, and her legacy is enduring; it is permanent. She has shown us, 2, 3 generations of us, how this good, noble work is done — with passion, generosity, unceasing effort, and great joy.

Catholic Retirees On Lynn Gray - A Reflection from Lisa Dole My mom, a long-time high school teacher, always said that the unsung heroes at any school are the maintenance staff and the individuals working the front desk... and when Lynn decided this past year was going to be her last year, she definitely wanted to go out as the unsung hero. We referred to our 10+ years of carpooling together as “ the confessional”. What was talked about in there stayed in there and I was forbidden to tell anyone that she was leaving. She even got annoyed when I mentioned it to her school son, Dave Basso... typical, selfless humble Lynn. She just didn’t want the attention. We all - teachers, staff, students, parents- we all know how deserving she is of attention, recognition and our thanks.

Marin Catholic would like to introduce its most recent additions to the Board of Regents.

Laura Suski is a proud parent of sophomore Alena, alumnus Andy ’14 (currently attending Baylor University) and Jack ’12 (currently attending SMU). Both her boys were

I’ve often thought that the qualities that make Lynn such a good mom are also the same qualities that made her so good at her job... patient even after receiving the 20th call asking what time the flex dismissal was that day, stern when students needed to be told to go back to class, so kind when they weren’t feeling well, a true coach when they just needed some encouragement, amused with the funny notes the parents send in (I swear she could write a book). Lynn can multitask like nobody’s business - seeing the whole picture of all the moving parts of a normal school day. Oftentimes I’d noticed something logistically to be corrected and send word to her and she’d already be on it.

However, there were a few things that she wouldn’t do - she wouldn’t help when birds got caught in the hallway and she would frantically look to find someone before she reluctantly had to speak over the PA systems. Birds and the PA were about the only thing that Lynn feared. We all benefited from her support and talents.

Santino Ambrosini ’15 Santino is a faith-filled student who serves as a team chaplain. He is an altar server and regular attendee of morning Mass. Santino is discerning a vocation to the priesthood.

What does the virtue of faith mean to you?

Faith is believing both in mind and in heart. Faith requires a logical factor - you can understand and believe from reason and you can accept God on a logical level. The other primary factor in faith is belief that comes from the heart, belief on a spiritual level. It is when you have that distinct feeling when you really KNOW something, deep down inside yourself. Faith, then, comes from two places- mind, and soul. Like any relationship, faith in God requires both thought and love.

How has your faith helped you as a student and person?

My faith is one of the defining aspects of who I am. My faith keeps me focused on what is most important in life: God. Everything and everyone that we have in our lives comes from God. My life is governed with that in mind. Everything that we do should be, at least in some way, done for God, whether that is always performing to the best of my ability in school, sports, or life in general. My faith keeps me on an even keel. Whenever there is great sadness in life, as when someone dies, I recall that God has His own plan and calls people to Himself at points of His own choosing. This knowledge gives me great comfort. The same applies in times of joy. Whenever things are going well, my faith in God is a constant reminder that everything is possible only through Him, and He must always be kept at the forefront of my life.

What experience has inspired you to stay rooted in your faith?

I can’t think of any one thing that keeps me rooted in my faith. I would have to say that experiencing God in the Sacraments keeps me faithful, most notably Confession and the Eucharist. Experiencing Christ Himself in the Eucharist is the high point of my day. Receiving the Body and Blood of Christ at Mass and experiencing God’s forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation always make me as close to God as I can be.

Jesus taught faith through relationship. What relationships have brought you closer to Christ?

My relationship with my mom has brought me closer to Christ. She is the perfect model of charity and she is willing to do anything she can to help others. My mom’s middle name is Theresa, so I even sometimes call her Mother Theresa because of her great charity. She was the one who always made sure to take me to Mass as a child, and I credit her most with nurturing me in my faith from an early age.

In what ways do you keep faith a prominent part of your life?

To keep God at the forefront of my life, I go to Mass nearly every day. I actually feel as if my day is incomplete if I don’t go to Mass. I also pray the Roman Breviary, also called the Liturgy of the Hours or the Divine Office, every day. The Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy are other favorites of mine that I do as often as I can. I also try to go to Confession once a week or once every two weeks.

What would you tell young people to encourage them to grow in their faith?

I would tell young people to keep themselves always focused on God. Everything else is inconsequential and will pass away, but God will always be with us. I would also say to cling to the Church and receive the Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation as often as possible. The Sacraments are the best way to stay close to God and grow and strengthen our relationship with Him. 34—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

How has Marin Catholic helped your faith grow?

At Marin Catholic, we are blessed to have the opportunity to go to Mass every morning in the Chapel. This has helped me to always start the day off with Christ through the Eucharist and deepen my relationship and faith in Him. Christian Service has also helped deepen my faith. For most of my Christian Service, I have been a Eucharistic Minister to the sick and homebound. I minister both in my own parish of St. Rita’s and at Marin General Hospital. Bringing the Eucharist to the sick is often the high point of their day. Most are overjoyed to see me and to be able to experience Christ in the Eucharist. This experience has helped me to see some of the many mysterious ways in which God works. The sick set aside all of their own troubles in favor of praying and receiving Christ and His love.

How do you feel called to share your faith?

I feel called to share my faith as a priest. I feel that God is calling me to discern a vocation to the priesthood, and to serve Him, the Church, and His people. Priests offer comfort, guidance, and aid the faithful in experiencing God in everyday life and in the Sacraments. I feel called to share my faith in any way I can, and I want to help others deepen their faith in God. God has given me a great gift in my faith, and I truly feel that He wants me to carry on and spread the faith as a priest.

How have the Sacraments shaped your faith?

The Sacraments are the epitome of the faith. Through them, we experience God firsthand. Being able to be so close to God helps me to always strive to follow Christ as much as I can. God is truly awesome, and nothing is more awe-inspiring than the Sacraments.

They inspire me to maintain my relationship with God and place Him above all other things in my life.

Eva Wang ’15 Eva Wang was one of the top scorers out of 624 students in the country, making her a semi-finalist in the US Biology Olympiad. She was a member of the 2014 National TEAMS Competition, where MC advanced to the Championship in Washington, DC and placed 8 out of 710 teams nationwide. But it doesn’t end there. Eva also ranked in the top 5% in the country on the American Math Competition Test.

How do you view your role as a student at Marin Catholic?

I feel privileged and immensely grateful to be a student at MC, and I try not to take the role lightly.

How have you been challenged by Marin Catholic academia?

Many of my teachers urged me to investigate beyond the superficial, whether it be analyzing the psychology of a character in a novel or examining how the properties of atoms affect those of molecules. Most of my classes do not involve pure rote memorization, but rather conceptual understanding; I find the latter to be much more challenging but also immensely rewarding.

What teacher(s) have had the largest impact on you and your time at MC? From the beginning, Mrs. Churchill’s Honors and AP Biology classes instilled in me a love of fascination with biology, with life. Mrs. Polizzotti, through Honors and AP Chemistry, introduced me to the stuff that makes up the universe (and taught me some valuable life lessons in the process). Last but certainly not least, Mr. Lippi inspired me to appreciate English class, to savor the written word, and never to slack off just because I can (I’m still working on that last one).

FALL 2014 MARIN Catholic —35

How did you get involved with the TEAMS Competition and what did you enjoy most about the experience?

I got involved in TEAMS through the math club, of which I have been a part since sophomore year. I joined one of the two MC teams, and we all went to the Stanford regional competition. Eight of us prepared for the national competition in Washington, D.C., in late June/ early July. I enjoyed not only discovering how engineers solve some of the world’s most vexing problems, but also exploring our nation’s capital and possibly interacting with competitors from other schools.

What subject(s) excite you and why?

All of my classes interest me, but my favorite are those involving math and the sciences because they allow me to quantify and marvel at the order of the universe. My favorites are Biology and Chemistry because I enjoy being able to understand how the world works, the mechanisms through which life is able to exist, and how people have manipulated the surrounding environment on the atomic level in order to suit our own needs.

What approach do you take to deepen your understanding of your courses?

For many of my classes, I like to go beyond what the course teaches and research the topics on my own time. For the sciences especially, I like knowing the mechanisms behind certain processes and will make sure I understand why and how said processes happen. For AP Biology in particular, I started studying for the USA Biology Olympiad Open Exam, which covers much of AP Biology and much more, and I gained from this a more complex and conceptual understanding of biology.

What is your motivation to strive for excellence?

Education is an extraordinary opportunity to which much of world’s youth does not have access. I know that not everyone can attend a school with the teachers and resources that MC provides, so I am thankful for this opportunity and feel that I shouldn’t squander it (plus, why waste the tuition dollars, right?).

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

I’m just glad that I’ve stuck with the program for the past three years without losing my sanity.

What are your goals for the future (college, career etc.)?

I’m not exactly sure what I want to do in the future, and I want to keep my options open. I hope to major in Biological or Chemical Engineering and possibly attend medical school in the future. I would like to be involved in laboratory research in my college years and beyond; however, I also want to interact with and help people in a field such as healthcare or pharmaceuticals.

Service Isabelle Gardner ’15 Izzy Gardner is a member of the 2014-2015 ASB, an overachiever in all service projects and a staff member of the Marin Catholic student newspaper, The Roar. She is a member of the 200 Club, completing well over the requirement for Christian Services Hours at Marin Catholic.

Faith

Were you interested in Christian service before attending Marin Catholic?

I first got into Christian service in 6th grade, when I volunteered to help tutor students at Bahia Vista Elementary School. After that, I volunteered with the Coleman Elementary LEAP program and helped children with Math and English.

How has Marin Catholic’s Christian service helped shaped who you are today?

Not only has Christian service allowed me to become a more well-rounded individual and immerse myself in different communities, but it has also given me the opportunity to further my education. Christian service allows students to bring the Catholic values they learn in the classroom to the real world, and I personally found this connection to be extremely important.

What has been your favorite Christian Service Project and why?

My favorite Christian Service Project was my 50-hour project with Enriching Lives Through Music. Enriching Lives Through Music, or ELM, is an organization based out of the Canal District of San Rafael that offers free to very low-cost music instruction to children who would not be able to afford it otherwise. While Christian service has allowed me to participate in a variety of organizations, ELM was my favorite because it allowed me to use my own talents to benefit the lives of others. I’ve been playing the violin since I was seven years old, and ELM allows me to give children the same musical education I had when I was their age.

What has been the most inspiring part of working with Enriching Lives Through Music?

The most inspiring part of working at ELM has been seeing how much the students appreciate a musical education. ELM students are completely dedicated to becoming better musicians, and make the most of every lesson to help them to master their instruments. This commitment really shows how grateful the students are for the opportunities ELM has provided for them, and inspires me as a volunteer to put 100% effort into helping them succeed.

How has serving others impacted you as a person?

Serving others has not only made me more aware of all of the blessings in my life, but it has also allowed me to be a part of something greater than myself. At ELM, parents and volunteers are constantly working to make sure that students have the best possible experience, and there is a very strong sense of community as a result of this. Being part of the ELM community has taught me that what you put into an experience is what you will get out of it, and I can honestly say that my life would not be the same today without all of the amazing individuals at Enriching Lives Through Music.

In what ways do you encourage fellow young people like yourself to get involved and make a difference?

My biggest advice to other young people wishing to make a difference is to find a cause that you can connect with on a personal level.

While I enjoyed tutoring elementary school students, ELM was my favorite project because it allowed me to use my own talents and share something I love with those around me. As a violinist for the past eleven years, I found that I would get genuinely excited about teaching students new compositions or techniques, and this enabled me to serve to the best of my ability.

In what ways do you feel it is your duty to serve others?

I have always been very grateful for the opportunities I’ve had with music, and I feel that it is my duty to provide less fortunate students with the same opportunities since I have acquired these skills. Working at ELM has shown me that it is my responsibility as both a musician and a Catholic to help those less fortunate than myself.

2013-2014 School Year Mother Assumpta Long O.P. Visits Marin Catholic Ever since the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, joined the Marin Catholic community in 2011, lives have been changed, minds have been opened, unique unions have been formed, and Marin Catholic’s mission of faith, knowledge & service has been strengthened. Last year, our community had the opportunity to meet the leader of our Sisters.

Marin Catholic graciously welcomed Mother Mary Assumpta Long, O.P., the mother superior and founder of Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, to campus. Her four-day visit included student-led tours, official visitations to her Sisters’ classes, meetings with teachers and administrators, and opportunities to meet the students. The classrooms were alive with energy and laughter as students presented projects and shared what they were learning in class. Mother spoke to the students, gave advice and answered questions. Stories were told, songs were sung and many smiles and hugs were exchanged. The students thanked Mother Assumpta for the opportunity to be taught by these amazing women and shared that they are now better people because of the Sisters.

Mother Mary Assumpta Long, O.P. is the Prioress General and one of four founding members of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The Community was formed as a response to Saint Pope John Paul II’s call issued in his Post-Synodal Exhortation, Vita Consecrata, to establish new foundations that will “bear witness to the constant attraction which the total gift of self to the Lord…continues to exert even on the present generation” (VC, 12). The community has grown from four to over 100 sisters since its foundation in February 1997 and presently has sisters teaching in eight dioceses.

Mother Assumpta holds a S.T.L. in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas. She has formerly served as President of the Forum of Major Superiors and has also served on various boards, including the Institute on Religious Life.

Landon Kleinbrodt ‘14: National Merit Finalist Landon Kleinbrodt ’14, currently in his first year at UC Berkeley, was one of 15,000 finalists selected from the 1.5 million entrants who advanced to National Merit Finalist Standing in the National Merit Scholarship Program.

Students are automatically entered into the program by taking the PSAT. Of the 1.5 million entrants, some 50,000 with the highest PSAT selection index scores (critical reading, mathematics and writing skills) qualify for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program. From there, 16,000 students, or approximately one-third of the 50,000 high scorers, are notified that they have qualified as Semifinalists. Semifinalists are designated on a state representational basis as the highest scoring entrants in each state.

In February, Landon was notified that he had become a National Merit Finalist. Needless to say, this is a pretty remarkable achievement.

Question & Answer With Landon Kleinbrodt ‘14 What are your career interests or aspirations?

Astrophysics and private space flight.

What has been your favorite part of your Marin Catholic experience?

The community and people that MC offers and fosters.

What teacher has had the most influence on your academic success and why?

This is a really tough call. I’ve had a lot of great teachers. I would say Tom Lippi; he made sure I realized that just because I could skate by doesn’t mean I should. He always demanded the best from me, and more importantly he made me demand the best from myself.

Tell us something people may be surprised to know about a Marin Catholic education?

The idea of educating the whole person is more than just a slogan we put on admission packets. Through four years I’ve learned a whole lot about myself as well as the world around me. Most surprising for me was how my attitude toward community/Christian service has changed (for the better).

FALL 2014 MARIN Catholic —39

Where have you performed and what have you gained from your Christian Service work?

Meals of Marin, Marin Food Bank and Veteran’s History Project.

First, it has taught me how extremely lucky I am to live the life I do. It has also instilled in me a sense of duty because of this life. It has shown me that a need is present and I’m in a position to help.

Over time my attitude has changed from grudging obligation to responsible duty, and now it’s on its way toward genuine enjoyment.

Two of Marin Catholic’s students scored in the top 5% of all students in the country taking the level 12 exam, which allowed them to progress to the next round. A huge congratulations to John Snyder ’14 and Eva Wang ’14 on this accomplishment.

Eva Wang ‘15, Semi-Finalist in usa Biology Olympiad

A hearty congratulations to the Marin Catholic Math Department on the preparation of all of the MC students who participated and to the teachers of John and Eva in supporting them in this achievement.

As the premiere biology competition for high school students in the United States, the USA Biology Olympiad (USABO) enriches the life science education of nearly 10,000 talented students annually.

It provides the motivation, curricular resources, and skills training to take students beyond their classroom experience to the level of international competitiveness.

Eva Wang ‘15 (left) spearheaded and coached the MC Biology Olympiad team this year. Out of the 7,766 students across the country who took the exam, Eva was one of the 624 who scored high enough to advance to semi-finals. Congratulations to Eva on all of her hard work.

Marin Catholic Sisters Take Final Vows On February 4, 107 of MC’s best math students were asked to take the American Mathematics Contest (Level 10 and Level 12) given by the Mathematics Association of America. These tests, which contain 25 questions and last 75 minutes, use skills found in traditional high school math courses in both simple and extraordinarily complex ways to test students’ proficiency in mathematics.

On July 30, several members of the MC community traveled to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to join in the celebration of the final vows of two Sisters who have served our community. Sister Miriam, who currently teaches chemistry, and Sister Maria Jose, who is now serving in Texas, took their final vows with Bishop Thomas Daly concelebrating the Mass and senior Billy Alten and Marco Martin ‘14 altar serving.

New Gliders at Marin Catholic This February, President Tim Navone was invited by Nancy and Dick Ghilotti to attend the Parents’ Council meeting at University of Miami, Dino Ghilotti’s alma mater. The Ghilottis have been council members at “The U” since 2009, Dino’s freshman year. Nancy and Dick felt this was a great way to bridge the two schools and have President Navone meet the faculty, experience the campus, and see first hand the community and the great education that students receive at Miami.

When Navone asked the administration what initiative made the biggest difference to the student body, the answer was surprising: the 110 gliders spread around campus. The formally sparse crowd around the picturesque lake is now packed with students on the ever-popular gliders, which are handmade in Southern Florida.

These wooden green and orange picnic tables that rock back and forth were a favorite spot of Dino’s to socialize, study, and take in the the beauty of UM’s campus.

“I wish I could bring back the Caribbean water, their outdoor olympic sized pool, and maybe a few palm trees, but the gliders are a good start,” Navone says.

Upon his return, Navone asked several benefactors to sponsor a glider so Marin Catholic students could enjoy 10 of them around campus. The result . . . a glider craze on campus.

one is free and, if you can run fast enough, you get one and never leave it!”

“I have never seen anything like them before,” says senior Mary Grinnell. “They are a creative way to enjoy each other’s company and bring our students together to be more social at break and lunch.”

The generous benefactors include the Class of 2014, Ms. Laura Bertone, Nancy and Dick Ghilotti, The dg Foundation, David and Cooke Hofele, Dante and Mike Ghilotti, Mrs. Nada Barulich, and an anonymous gift in honor of Sr. Thomas Aquinas.

El Carmen Visits Marin With some creative fundraising efforts and some legal guidance, Marin Catholic found a way to bring the sponsored El Carmen students to Marin County.

42—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

One of the special traditions at Marin Catholic is the annual Lenten Drive, where students get to put “their money where their faith is.” Each year the entire student body, through their theology classes, supports projects and missions chosen by the St. Vincent de Paul Society Club.

“For years now, club moderator Mr. Tassone and his students have been generous to the Catholic communities around the world by supporting their missions,” says President Tim Navone. “From helping fund orphanages in the Philippines run by Sisters, to freeing slaves in Sudan, the club has asked our students to put their faith into action by supporting causes to help those in dire need.”

One of the programs the Lenten Drive has supported for the past three years is the school’s El Carmen Project in El Salvador. This year, however, Marin Catholic students were prevented from traveling to El Salvador due to safety issues involving gangs. So, with some creative fundraising efforts and some legal guidance, Marin Catholic found a way to bring the sponsored El Carmen students to Marin County.

“To travel from the little town of El Carmen to the United States was something we were not sure was even a good idea at first,” says Navone. “But we were assured by program co-director Mario Pacheco (who grew up in El Carmen) that it was a great idea, and fortunately he was right.” So, just in time for the Lenten Mass,

five El Carmen students, who had never seen an airplane, landed at SFO for an experience of a lifetime. “I think it was surprisingly comforting to them because they knew 16 Marin Catholic students very well from the previous two summers,” says Navone.

“And at the end of the day, I would say they blended in pretty well.”

They came a long way in their 12 days, learning how to operate drinking fountains and showers, finding it very strange that Americans dedicate an entire grocery store aisle to toothpaste and shampoo.

Gratitude was at the forefront of the trip. Our El Carmen students took it all in while visiting several Marin Catholic classrooms, including Mr. Groshong’s Spanish class for a language exchange, and Sr. Thomas Aquinas’ Theology class, which was the class to raise the most amount of money for this cause.

“The most fantastic part about bringing the students to Marin Catholic was having our students see firsthand exactly what they are supporting,” says Navone. “This gave our students an opportunity to actually meet the students they are supporting to attend Catholic school. Now they are supporting Jenny, Julissa, Kevin, Elisabetta and Donal, not a faceless group of students they will never meet.”

Meave Poetry Contest:

Curious Poems of Discovery The Meave Poetry Contest is an annual tradition sponsored by the Meave Family. This contest promotes poetry as both an artistic outlet as well as an opportunity to make note or even to make sense of the world around us.

Based on a prompt from last year’s summer read, Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, students were asked to write a poem about an incident in his or her life in which they discovered something new about themselves. They were to let the audience know something about where they were before, what they waded through, and where they find themselves now.

“The Sun and the Moon”

As a rule of the Earth, opposites always attract Magnetized by kinship, a polar connection, Even if you were in Paris, the city of your dreams, and I in London, the city of mine We could find our way to each other somehow

Although others spangle our history Stars sprinkled on the fabric of our friendship Its always just been you and me Me and you

Do you remember that day in my backyard where we built a tree fort and a rock bridge?

A tiny world out of leaves and branches just for us to dance happily in for a moment or two Do you remember that day in your garden?

We plucked all the exotic flowers your mom had lovingly tended and made “soup” in a plastic bucket And do you remember when I spilled your big box of 50 crayons on the floor?

Waxy pinks, flaming oranges tumbled from our hopeless second grader fingers, rumbling across the floor churrrrrrr

Or do your remember the steaming hot chocolates my mom would bring us after February swim practice?

Or the nature walks we went on with our moms, up on the ridge every single Saturday morning at 9 am without fail?

Or that fight the first week of summer after you accidentally rode your bicycle into a ditch and scraped your knee, or the one in third grade over the red etcha-­sketch, or the one in eighth grade where both of our families were being so completely wrecked in one way or another And we were so clueless as to how to fix them?

Our fights are like thunder and lightning Detonating sky­shards striking the sun (you) and the moon (me) The hard part about fighting with someone who knows you so well Is that they know where to hit you so that it not only wounds, but annihilates

My friend, I know the shape of your hands because I watch them when you talk And I know the shape of your body because I watch it when you walk, And I know the different parts of your heart: the luminous place where you keep your dreams, the halcyon portion where you gleefully hide your stolen secrets, and the exquisite part where you lock your sadness

And it makes me sad to think that one day one of our fights may take us on a path beyond return Or I will fall apart under pressure, or you will break with sorrow, and we will lose each other And one day we might come home and pass each other somewhere on a Saturday morning around 9 am And cast our eyes down Too stubborn to miss each other yet too stubborn to forget

Eyes that were once lighters burning fast and bright, sparking with joy Eyes that turn to cold river stones, reflecting the turbulent tide’s pull on you and me Hearts gently shattering with grief From seeing how the glorious golden-­blue skies have turned to a dull diaphanous gray We are the sun and the moon, forever intertwined, unless by fate our orbits diverge But luckily, I am suffering from heliophilia­love of the sun, so I promise to try my hardest never to let that happen

So, Friend, after countless attempts to eclipse, to block you out, and hours telling myself “I. Do Not. Care.” I have come to realize, I have finally understood It simply does not work to have me without you And just like the moon, “I would die every day to let you breathe,” if that were what it took To win your friendship again.

Marin Catholic Drama Fall Production:

THE GIFTED PROGRAM

In November 2013, MC’s Drama department performed The Gifted Program, which spotlights the struggle among social groups within a typical public high school. Through love, hatred, fear, and betrayal, each character changes and develops throughout the story as they come to understand something about themselves and about others. The entire cast performed over their heads for another successful performance!

MC Seniors Parker Trahan and James Groh and Junior Audrey Riedel charmed audiences as the conniving and competitive cons. The cast included students from all grades, and the chorus shone in big dance number like “Oklahoma?” and “The More We Dance”. Several students from the music department comprised the orchestra, supporting the on-stage players with percussion, flute, sax, violin, guitar, and bass parts. “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” kept the audience laughing, humming and guessing to the end!

Fashion Show 2014:

Beyond the Blue!

They say it takes a village…over 100 parent volunteers, 75 student volunteers, 70 Chairpersons, 280 models, 22 stores and 1100 attendees…to gross almost $400,000 in the 2014 Marin Catholic Fashion Show, Beyond the Blue!

The Fashion Show, Marin Catholic’s largest event fundraiser, took place on March 15, 2014 at the Marin Center. The event combines fabulous food, trendy fashions, and upbeat energy for all attendees. The community came together in true MC style, raising much-needed funds for a new gym roof through the ‘fund a need’ auction. In addition, the live and silent auctions, wine auction, marketplace, online auction, premier seating, program ads and sponsorship helped reach this year’s goals.

This annual event continues to combine the Marin Catholic community’s wonderful spirit of volunteerism with philanthropy in support of academic excellence. The 2014 Fashion Show was lead by event chairs, Shannon Alten, Lisa Converse, Suzanne Galuszka, and Sandy Starkey. The chairs could not have done it without a large group of hard-working volunteers who helped make the event a true success!

Art

Extravaganza

The Art Extravaganza is a special annual event which showcases the creative and inspiring work of the advanced art students from the three main visual arts disciplines: Ceramics, Drawing and Painting and Photography. This year’s Art Extravaganza was a tremendous success, featuring over 400 pieces of artwork from over 350 advanced art students at Marin Catholic. It was inspirational to see the hard work from the students expressed in their unique works of art. A special thank you to the Music Department for providing wonderful live music to add to the event. And sincere gratitude to our Patrons of the Arts for helping to make this event possible and shine such a significant light on the talent of our art students at Marin Catholic.

Meet Orin Carpenter My passion for life lives through the relationships I build with people. This same passion is displayed through my art. When approaching the creation of my art, the process is the most fulfilling component for me. The style of my work is mixed media. Using mixed media allows an incredible collaboration of materials. Within this process, I am able to leave the door open for spirituality within the piece. I allow the materials to speak to me creatively, as the chemistry

between the materials maturates to a point of final execution.

During this stage of creation, I truly learn more about who I am as an artist; uninhibited and unrestrained. Whether it is the composing of collage, the brushstrokes of acrylics or the intensity created by my pencil work, my ultimate goal is to welcome the viewer an opportunity to share in the journey.

Meet Katie Kindelan Since my childhood, animals have captivated me.

Something in their way of being has always seemed so honest and straightforward, so unlike the complicated ways of most human beings. I try to make art about animals that is honest and reverent. I hope to convey the beauty of being awake like an animal (which we are) in nature–an awareness that could rekindle our own connection to the world around us.

Meet Mark Jaeger I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be able to both teach and create art with all of my energy, passion, and dedication. I was born and raised in Marin and first studied art as a student at Marin Catholic from my mentor and dear friend Dave Tuchsen. Encouraged and inspired by Toosh I continued my studies at UC Davis, where I was influenced by the work of Robert Arneson and Wayne Thiebaud, among others.

As a teacher I hope to continue the good work started at Marin Catholic while also making an effort to bring new and exciting opportunities to our students and our community. My goal is to give our students the tools to create, the techniques to build, the resources to encourage a critical dialogue throughout the process. My classroom is an environment where students enjoy the freedom of art making and engage in the educational pursuit of their own unique self expression.

As a fine artist working with the human figure I am connected to the Bay Area Figurative Movement and am also part of an ongoing movement of ceramic artists who work to bring the medium of clay into the arena of fine art. I maintain a serious and intense studio practice, recognizing the incredible effort that brings about artwork and the continued dedication required to present that work. My work has been featured in publications, exhibitions, and collections both regionally and internationally and I have been invited to present my work to art communities both locally and abroad.

My current focus is the human face. I’m interested in exploring the human condition through concepts of social ritual and hierarchy. My newest series investigates the notion of superheroes. I’m interested in how our culture has created these figures and where their roots may connect to angels, saints, ancestor protectors, etc. I’m also very much intrigued by the concept of placing different social types into the role of the superhero.

Then, the identity of the figure and the mask create a completely different perception for the viewer and this cause for reflection is a hopeful result of the work.

Meet Laurie Reemsnyder The magic started in a darkroom as a college student…and never ended. Even today, watching the image emerge, whether in a tray of developer or a software editing program, thrills me.

Photography was…and is… an outlet, a stress reliever, a way to tell a visual story, a means to communicate joys and sorrows and to illustrate the powerful beauty we all too often take for granted. I am humbled by the greats who remain legendary…

Gordon Parks, Brett Weston,

Imogen Cunningham…and the currents…Lisa Kristine, Phil Borges, Steve McCurry…too many to name, but each bringing inspiration to me and to my classrooms. And I thrive on the young students who absorb, try, fail, but get up and try again to capture that timeless image, that profound moment to be remembered in that one click. I continue to learn from them, as they take the roots and grow their own tree, branching out in new directions and taking their vision to new heights.

Fun Facts About the Art Department Here are some facts about the growth of the Marin Catholic art department in the past 6 years.

• Over 80% of the student body (602 students!) are enrolled in a visual or performing arts class this fall. This is a 2% increase from last year despite the nearly 5% increase in the student body for next year. In other words, the art department gained more people than the school itself did.

• Over 30% of the student body will be enrolled in an advanced art class. Advanced means II, III, Internship or AP. • There are 602 enrolled art students, the most in MC history. There are 432 visual art students (second-most ever). There are 170 performing art students. There 10 AP students (the most ever). There are 97 music students, the most in nearly 10 years.

Marin Catholic Competes in National Teams Championship In July 2014, top scholars from Marin Catholic returned from the National TEAMS Championship in Washington, DC, where they represented Marin Catholic and the state of California in an oral and problem solving competition in STEM fields. TEAMS, an acronym for Test of Engineering, Aptitude, Mathematics and Science, is an annual competition focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics skills.

After placing 1st in their division (8th out of 710 teams in the nation) at the TEAMS competition at Stanford in February, the team became qualified to compete in the TEAMS Championship in Washington DC. Months of preparation for the championship brought the team to 8th place in the oral competition.

Congratulations to the Marin Catholic team on their accomplishment!

Drum Line Closes Another Successful Year!

The heartbeat of athletic events, the MC Drum Line, had a fantastic year grooving in the stands and at halftime at MC’s big home games in both football and basketball. The pouring rain didn’t stop the Drum Line from traveling to the NorCal finals with their teacher, Ben Lauffer, to support their Wildcats. During the spring concert, they transformed before the audience’s eyes into Marin Catholic’s first-ever Percussion Ensemble and performed an amazing rendition of “Tuesday” by Square Peg Round Hole, combining orchestral, jazz, contemporary percussion and digital synthesizers. Be sure to check out the video of their performance on the Marin Catholic music page!

MC’s Got Talent The Music Department held two events this year, giving opportunities for students to showcase songs they had been working on outside of the classroom. Both fall and spring events featured phenomenal student arrangements and original compositions. The winners, chosen by popular demand, got the opportunity to record their songs in a professional recording studio, with alumni Charles Smith-Stewart behind the mixing console.

MC’s Got Talent Winners Record In Professional Studio The winners of MC’s Got Talent got to experience a fantastic real-world music experience. The jazz/funk trio featuring Matt Sherman, James Quick, and Dominic Lecouturier and singer/ songwriter Elena Sandell had the opportunity to record their music in a professional studio setting at Ex’pression College in Emeryville and Studio Trilogy in San Francisco.

Santa Cruz Jazz Festival This year marked Marin Catholic’s jazz ensemble’s first time attending the Santa Cruz Jazz Festival! From Tower of Power to Snarky Puppy, the ensemble played student-selected pieces that covered a wide variety of styles and showcased the solo talents of many ensemble members. We were proud to see the hard work of our students recognized, as Maxence Fulconis, Dominic Lecouturier, Matthew Sherman, and James Quick received awards for outstanding musicianship!

Winter Concert (Below)

Elena Sandell, one of the MC’s Got Talent winners, enjoys a professional recording experience at Ex’pression College in Emeryville.

Our annual winter concert provided students with the opportunity to present several different works of American music from throughout our nation’s history. From “Sweet Home Alabama” to “Maple Leaf Rag,” the program included an incredibly varied range of music, from pop to classical to ragtime to California classics! The audience was blown away by the students’ exceptional performances, and were also delighted to learn that many of the tunes were arranged by the students themselves.

Spring Concert

Recording - Music Dept. Album

This year’s spring concert featured music from the 1960s and included collaborations among different ensembles to create a unique listening experience for the audience. A crowd favorite was the acapella rendition of the Beatles’ classic, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da.” Another first for MC was the debut of the Marin Catholic Percussion Ensemble, which incorporated classical, jazz, and world percussion instruments along with contemporary electronic music.

This year marked a milestone in the history of the Music Department here at Marin Catholic as students were given the opportunity to capture recordings from each ensemble throughout the course of the year. Not only will the students now be able to take the music they made with them, but these recordings will also provide the Music Technology class with the opportunity to learn more about the art of studio production.

The album, which will feature the best of each ensemble from the 2013-14 school year, is set to be released November 2014 at the Fall Concert.

Showcase (Right) The first annual music showcase was a fantastic opportunity for our graduating seniors to perform in a real local music venue.

The performance was standing room only at The Sleeping Lady, where the Marin Catholic and Fairfax communities enjoyed a fantastic night of intimate and masterful student performances by Zoe Klein, Maddie Cincebeaux, Dominic Lecouturier, Matthew Sherman, Nathaniel Friend, James Quick, and live sound run by Alec Shashaty and Nick Gonella.

Visits From Alumni (Below) Marin Catholic was pleased to welcome alumnus Robby Marshall ‘03 and his group, the Shoestring Trio, for a consecutive year to share their music with our advanced music classes.

Marshall provided students with the opportunity to work oneon-one with professional musicians to hone their abilities. Also returning to Marin Catholic was alumnus Nick Beatrice ‘07 (performing under his stage name iLL Nicky), who performed original hip-hop compositions for our music tech class and shared his insights into what life is like for a modern day recording artist.

Speaker Project The Engineering Club presents two brand new, custom line array speakers to be installed in the music room. They are 6’ 7-1/2” tall, weigh 80 lbs, and sound awesome. The speakers will be used for recording, mixing and mastering, composition project presentations, and simple listening.

Overall design by Alec Viets Electronic design by Nick Gonella Built by Billy Alten, Alec Viets, Nick Gonella, Alec Shashaty, Kevin McLean Consulting contributor: Justin Inscoe Club Advisor: Ryan Mosse Donors: Viets Family and Alten Family Alec’s Proposals Alec Viets ‘14 wanted to learn to make speakers, so he proposed an engineering club in the spring of his Junior year.

First-year teacher Ryan Mosse, a former engineer with a background in structures and acoustics, accepted the role of advisor.

Mr. Mosse bought 50 speaker drivers at a great discount for students to use in building their speakers. Throughout the school year Engineering Cub president Alec Viets and a few other club students designed and built their own speakers for use at home.

In the end there was a large surplus of speakers. Alec then proposed a much larger project, one that would benefit the music department: line array speakers, or large, very loud speakers that throw their sound long distances very efficiently. He proposed the project to the club; Billy Alten, Nick Gonella, Alec Shashaty, Kevin McLean, and Justin Inscoe were in.

Design and Prospective Donor Proposal During the Spring Semester the club met once a week to tackle issues in the design of the line array. Viets was the lead

designer, and would take design suggestions from the other students and augment his initial design proposal. The final design includes 48 individual speakers in two speaker cabinets that are each 6’-8” tall.

The club put together a design proposal, including a full 3-D rendered model of the design and materials costs in hopes that someone would fund their project. Alumni Relations Coordinator Bryan Clement graciously helped the students find their donors in Stephen & Gina Viets and Bob & Shannon Alten.

Putting It All Together This last part was the more complicated and most impressive part. As a team, the boys determined a manufacturing process, collected the required building tools, and found a place to do the work. Bob Alten of Alten Construction graciously donated his time, workshop, tools, and wood for the boys to start building their speakers. Under Mr. Alten’s and Mr. Mosse’s tutelage, they learned to create a mock-up of the project, cut plywood to exacting specifications, do quick design calculations on the fly, and other tricks of the construction trade.

Under the guidance of Mr. Mosse, Nick Gonella designed a custom electronics system for the speakers to optimize their sound. Nick and Alec soldered the electronics together and wired the speakers with help from Alec Shashaty and Billy Alten.

The team spent their final moments as MC students putting the final touches on an impressive project.

The music department will celebrate their achievement with an unveiling in the Fall of 2014 in gratitude for the students’ and their families’ donation of time, hard work, and materials. The Engineering Club and Music Department would like to offer immense thanks to Alec Viets, Billy Alten, Nick Gonella, Alec Shashaty, Kevin McLean, Justin Inscoe, Stephen and Gina Viets, and Bob and Shannon Alten.

Letters of Intent The following alumni have been recruited to a Division I or Division II University and have been asked to sign a National Letter of Intent. The National Letter of Intent is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and the University the student will be attending. Commonly these Letters of Intent are accompanied by an athletic scholarship.

Less than 2% of all high school athletes in the United States earn an athletic grant and schools are limited in the amount of aid they can give each year by the NCAA. The twelve members of the Class of 2014 that have signed a National Letter of Intent are truly in an elite group of student-athletes.

FALL 2014 MARIN Catholic —67

In memory of Jim Nelson ’69

By Tom Lippi

Jim Nelson with wife, Mary Nelson

Marin Catholic alumni and long time MC Varsity Football Assistant & JV Head Football Coach passed away to brain cancer. His three sons, Andrew ’99, Stephen ’01 and Timothy ’06 are also MC Wildcats. Those who knew Jim knew he was a force bigger than life. He was a devoted husband, father and football coach at MC & Redwood.

The wonderful life and rich legacy of Marin Catholic graduate, father, and coach Jim Nelson were celebrated on July 18 at St. Vincent’s Church in Marinwood. At the Mass, led by Bishop Tom Daly, and at the reception afterwards, tears and laughter were both in ample supply, as those who knew Jim recalled a man of insatiable energy, curiosity, passion, razor sharp wit, and boundless generosity.

Jim graduated from MC in 1969. He was an active and positive presence on campus, serving in student government, spirit activities, and athletics. He played center on the varsity football team his sophomore year, a teammate of MC teacher Rich Woodall, who would become a lifelong friend, along with fellow alums and MC colleagues Susie Quinn Woodall, Clare Krebsbach, Tom Thompson, and Tom Lippi. Jim’s quarterback was future NFL Hall of Famer Dan Fouts. When Fouts left MC for greener football pastures (Wildcat football was, to put it mildly, struggling in those days) Nelson took over as quarterback. In his senior year he led the Wildcats to the first Homecoming victory and winning season record that anyone around this place could remember…

Following his graduation, Jim accepted a scholarship to the University of San Francisco—he was the starting quarterback in USF’s last football victory—and then to Southern Colorado State College, now Colorado State University—Pueblo. Returning home, Jim married Mary Wasson, the love of his life, established a successful printing business, welcomed three sons—Andy ’99, Steve ’01 and Tim ’06—and pursued his beloved avocation of coaching football for over 30 years. He coached and directed Pop Warner programs in Novato, served as head JV coach at MC, and was head coach at Redwood High School for seven years, amassing a 45-29 record.

“I always thought that coaching made him a better person. He thrived on it,” recalled Mary. “It just made him more invigorated ... more engaged. It was good for him.”

And it was very good for any program with which Jim was associated…

68—MARIN Catholic FALL 2014

During Jim’s tenure as JV coach here at MC, Wildcat football came into its own, establishing a standard of excellence that has endured to this day.

Larry Gondola was varsity head coach, Rich Woodall a varsity assistant.

Along with Nelson and other talented and visionary coaches, they built a program that eventually rose to league and section prominence, even dominance. The first ever football pennant, won in 1983 at San Marin, was exceptionally sweet to Woodall and Nelson, who had played on understaffed and outmanned teams in the 60s, when the Wildcats were the laughing stock of the MCAL. Now they had helped make them its shining star.

“There wasn’t a better JV football coach,” Larry Gondola said. “He helped our program a ton. Every year I would bring up players to varsity and they knew the system. Made my life a lot easier.”

“He was a really good guy,” said Rich Woodall. “He was a very good coach and good with the kids. He had a heart of gold. He would do anything for you or the kids…”

All three of his sons were mainstays of Wildcat football in their playing days. Jim coached older sons Andy and Steve on his JV teams at MC; he was Redwood’s head coach by the time Tim took his place on the Wildcat line. No doubt a challenging situation, but good natured teasing and heckling accompanied the serious competition, for Jim was a well known and beloved figure to players from both programs.

The Nelson home was often the scene of massive team dinners and pre-event gatherings through the years the Nelson boys attended MC. Jim established and nurtured lifelong friendships with many of his players. He was a staunch friend and supporter. The recollection of one friend speaks for many of them: “He was always such a kind soul, a great friend to my mother and mentor and coach for many years after he coached him in football.” Another wrote: “I am just one of many that Coach Nelson inspired, on and off the football field, to be a better person.”

Marin Catholic was one of many places and people who were the beneficiaries of this good man. As a friend wrote, “My life and the lives of so many have been made so much richer by Jim’s friendship. His devotion to his family and to his community were an inspiration. He was the embodiment of Wildcat Spirit.”

Operated by students elected to various offices, Boys State activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings and law-enforcement presentations.

Scott Gogas ’15, Christopher Callan ’15, and Jarrod Ramos ’15 were interviewed by the American Legion Chairpersons for the opportunity to represent Marin Catholic at Boys State, which was held at Sacramento State University in June 2014.

Christopher Callan was chosen to represent Marin Catholic this past June. The two representatives from the American Legion had a difficult time selecting who could best represent our school, as all of the candidates they considered were outstanding!

Congratulations to Chris!

First Student Writer and Editor of MC Magazine: Sarah Coduto ‘15 MC Student Sarah Coduto ‘15 researched, interviewed, and wrote the three Summer Projects pieces that appeared on pages 26-29. Sarah has also helped with the editing and proofreading of this edition and is the first student writer/ editor of the Marin Catholic Magazine.

Sarah obviously has a promising future in writing and shows true professionalism when it comes to putting words on paper and emphasizing the heart and tone of a story. She hopes to major in English in college and work as a journalist or a professor.

What were you involved with during your time at Marin Catholic?

– ASB - Activities Coordinator – Campus Ministry Intern – 3 Years of Class Council – Kairos Leader – 4 Years of Soccer – 2 Years of Basketball What are you involved with at University of Nevada?

– Pre-Dental Society Member – University of Nevada FCA - Fellowship of Christian Athletes – Women’s Soccer Team – Major: Community Health Sciences, Minor: Bio-Chemistry How much was your gift to Marin Catholic?

I gave $50 to Marin Catholic this year, which came from the money I earned from my summer job serving at California Pizza Kitchen.

Why did you decide to give?

To me, MC meant a lot. I felt blessed with the opportunities that came with it. Not only on the field, but in life. I would be a different person if I hadn’t come to Marin Catholic. I feel it is respectful to give back to something that gave so much to me.

How did the idea of ‘giving’ to your alma mater come to mind?

During Christmas vacation, I had time to go visit my old school, Saint Patrick’s, in Larkspur. I realized I hadn’t kept in touch with my grammar school, and I didn’t want to lose the connection with my high school. Time has gone by so fast, and I don’t want to let it go.

Giving back keeps me connected, in touch with, and in support of my alma mater.

How has MC prepared you for life in college?

The strength of the education and the way in which I was treated by the teachers was essential. It sounds cheesy, but my teachers cared more about me as a person outside of the classroom. I miss that. I don’t have any ethics courses in college and people don’t talk about religion. At MC, I gained a sense of who I am. It is one of the greatest gifts my parents have given me. I wish others had the same opportunity that I did.

Anna Pautler ’06 on her new book, Climb China (below).

“I started to realize how accessible the world is for young travelers when I visited Costa Rica and Honduras with groups from MC. When I finished my studies at Loyola Chicago, I didn’t want to dive straight into office work, and I started to travel. I spent a year in Australia under the work holiday visa and eventually found myself in China. I was fascinated with the culture, started learning the language, and became obsessed with rock climbing. I was amazed with how many beautiful areas for climbing were around the country, and yet unknown by the wider foreign community. Along with two others, I started to compile a guidebook for rock climbing and travel around the country.

We spent six months trudging around the country with insane amounts of gear, documenting 15 different areas.

The book printed in February of this year, and I have since been working between China and Taiwan as an outdoor guide.

This summer I returned to China, where I helped develop new routes in Xinjiang and Sichuan. Eventually I’d like to organize guided climbing trips around China… but one thing at a time…

More information can be found at ClimbChina.net.”

Guest Speaker: William C. White Former MC parent and Veteran of the U.S. Navy William C. White served in the U.S. Navy from October 1963 to July 1968 and completed his service with the rank of Lieutenant. He completed his Basic Underwater Demolition Training, Class 32, where he was one of only 18 to graduate from a class of 140.

Monsignor Sheeran, Bob Basso, Bill White and President Tim Navone gather for a photo at the Veterans Assembly.

He later joined the Underwater Demolition Team 21 in Little Creek, Virginia, and was a part of the Apollo 201 spacecraft recovery team in the South Atlantic. In 1967, he served in Vietnam with SEAL Team One based out of Coronado, California.

Christopher Hill ’14 was recruited by the Naval Academy to play lacrosse the summer before his junior year. Chris had always been interested in joining the United States service.

His dream, despite suffering a few setbacks, was finally realized this June, when he traveled to Annapolis, Maryland, for induction into the Navy. July 2 marked Induction Day into the Naval Academy and the start of a six and a half week-long training program. At the end of this program, Christopher will join the ranks of such Marin Catholic alumni as Nick Loberg ’11, Jake Barney ’11, and Tommy

Rooney ’12, all of whom are currently attending the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis as part of a five-year commitment to the armed forces.

“Plebe year has been very challenging, but the discipline of being a student-athlete at MC and the college prep classes I took have really helped me feel prepared and able to handle the demanding schedule here.” - Christopher Hill ’14 Austin Colvin ’14 was recruited by the Army lacrosse coaching staff following his junior year. Austin’s interest in serving his country stems from a long family history of military service along with his own participation in the Civil Air Patrol, Squadron 23. July 2 marked Reception Day at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Austin began Cadet Basic Training (CBT), often referred to as “Beast Barracks,” and went on to successfully complete a rigorous six-and-a-half week indoctrination into the life of a West Point cadet.

Austin follows in the footsteps of fellow Marin Catholic graduates Adrienne Payne ’02, Tommy Busterud ’09, and Ben Wernick ’11. On September 9, Austin was named the 2014 National Award Winner of the prestigious Bob Scott Award by US Lacrosse. The award is presented to a high school senior who exemplifies the fundamentals of the game of lacrosse and is a leader on and off the field. These skills will serve him well as he embarks on a demanding 47-month leader-development program that culminates with a BS degree and a commission to 2LT in the U.S. Army.

Chris and Austin will play each other in the Army vs. Navy game next spring.

“I can honestly say that Marin Catholic did a great job of preparing me. All of the college level material is very familiar and work I have already done.” - Austin Colvin ’14

The long-term success of Marin Catholic depends on those members of our community who choose to act today for a future not their own. Estate planning is a complex process with many options, but a bequest is one of the simplest ways to make a lasting change for good for Marin Catholic. A bequest is a sum of money, portion of the estate or portion of the estate’s residuary for distribution to a 501(c)(3) organization, like Marin Catholic. By making such a bequest, the donor becomes a member of our Society Fidei. The bequest can be unrestricted, or it can be restricted for a specific interest; large or small, it makes a difference.

Society Fidei acknowledges individuals for their vision and philanthropic spirit. It provides a life-long legacy for a donor and their family.

Invitation to join ‘Society Fidei’

We encourage you to take this first step, and make the bequest today. Below, Marin Catholic has provided some general information to help you start your journey, and you should always consult your attorney or estate planner on these manners.

Including Marin Catholic in your will or living trust makes a difference for future Wildcats. Additionally, because a bequest qualifies for the estate tax charitable deduction, it may reduce your taxable estate.

Common bequest language: General: “I give to Marin Catholic High School, a corporation organized and existing under the California Nonprofit Corporation Law and as part of The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco, a Corporation Sole, headquartered at One Peter Yorke Way, San Francisco, CA 94109, the sum of _______________ dollars (or specific piece of property).” * Bequests can also be a percentage of the estate, a bequest of the remainder of the state, or a bequest contingent (Marin Catholic as a designated ‘back-up’ for a beneficiary).

Leave a gift with a Living Trust: “I direct my trustee to distribute from the principal of my trust estate to Marin Catholic High School, a corporation organized and existing under the California Nonprofit Corporation Law and as part of The Roman Catholic Archbishop of San Francisco, a Corporation Sole, headquartered at One Peter Yorke Way, San Francisco, CA 94109, the sum of _______________ dollars (or specific piece of property).”

These basic constructions should allow many people who haven’t already made a gift to do so. Of course, gifts and arrangements can be made in a multitude of other forms including, but not limited to, Retirement Plan Assets, Charitable Gift Annuity, Charitable Remainder Unitrust.

To assist you in your planning purposes, you may be asked for the following information: Complete legal name: Marin Catholic High School Address: 675 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Kentfield, CA 94904 Federal tax ID: 94-1156698 For additional information or assistance, please contact Bryan Clement, Director of Advancement, (415) 464-3841 or bclement@marincatholic.org
