Thanks for the Memories

Sef IT Yosemite,

May 1782 - John McElroy, founder of St. John’s Literary Institution, was born in Euniskillen, Ireland. He immigrated to America at the age of twenty-one, settling first in Baltimore, Maryland, and then in Washington, D.C., where he entered the Jesuit Order at Georgetown.

Circa 1803 -1810- The large, elegant mansion later known as Prospect Hall and the future site of St. John’s Literary Institution was constructed on

1829-

Red Hill in Frederick, Maryland Father McElroy founded Saint John's on 2nd Street in Frederick, Maryland.

He also founded the first free school for black children in Washington D.C. and founded Boston College in 1865. The Charter of St. John's Literary Institution was obtained from Maryland State Legislature in 1829.

1915-

St. John's Literary Institution became coeducational, with the School Sisters of Notre Dame helping staff the parish school.

1958-

The Archdiocese of Baltimore bought Prospect Hall and St. John's Literary Institution moved grades 9 to 12 from the downtown Frederick location to the acquired building.

The School Sisters of Notre Dame were no longer able to staff the school, so a group of dedicated parents and parishioners pooled their energies and resources to keep the school open. Through their dedication, St. John's remained open as the first independent, Catholic School in Maryland.

Prospect Hall Mansion was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A Sesquicentennial Celebration Ball was held for St. John's Literary Institution.

1972-

19792006-

2010-

St. John's Literary Institution at Prospect Hall was renamed Saint John's

Catholic Prep in anticipation of relocating the school a few miles away to Buckeystown, Maryland.

You are reading this yearbook and might be thinking these first couple pages are fairly boring! Believe it or not...someday, in years to come when you read this again, you will appreciate knowing the history of the school and the Prospect Hall Mansion!

Do you recognize this? It is one of the windows above the doors of the mansion. They are called an elliptical fanlights and are original to the building. They are very unusual because they are the Federal style of architecture and the mansion is built in the Greek Revival style.

They were extremely expensive and only the very wealthy had them in their homes. They were a huge status symbol of the time!

: :

George Washington's wife Martha was a widow with children when he married her.

Her daughter was married to Daniel Dulaney's

son, the first owner of the estate. Washington visited the Dulaney family during the Revolutionary War and was given the horse named Blueskin that he rode during the war.

Washington loved Blueskin so much that, when the war ended, he returned him so he

could live out his days in the pasture where he had been born. It has long been told that Blueskin is buried in the front yard of the mansion! Legend has it that Blueskin's spirit wanders the grounds every year on George Washington's birthday!

Painting Of George Washington and Blueskin

Gilbert Stuart

Agnes served at the Prospect Hall estate as a

setvant girl soon after the American Revolution.

It was discovered that Christopher Dulaney, the

son of the owner, Daniel Dulaney the younger,

engaged in an affair with Agnes. Dulaney's parents

were outraged, as it was extremely taboo for a man

of privilege to associate with a lowly housemaid.

Dulaney's mother was particularly angry and as a

result, she sent Christopher to France. Meanwhile, Agnes pleaded her innocence, but to no avail. Mrs.

Dulaney had Agnes buried alive in the wall that now separates the faculty room and the president's office. Ever since, the ghost of Agnes has been seen in Prospect Hall and numerous cases of

unexplained activity have been reported.

As we sit to write this letter we cannot help but first recognize the graduating Class of 2010. It is especially special for Mr. Cosentino because

like you, he began his time here at Saint John’s four years ago. As principal, it truly has been an honor to watch the senior class grow and mature into fine young men and women.

Dr. Campbell has had the

privilege to have this year with the seniors and the opportunity to witness all their wonderful attributes. We are so blessed to have such an incredible student body, faculty and staff that make our school community so great!

Reflecting on this past year, it seems so appropriate to focus on the history of Prospect Hall. This building has so many rich stories and many

of them have been experiences that students and teachers have made while being here. We hope as you look through this yearbook, you will be reminded of fond memories and look forward to adding to the history of our school.

In closing we would like to thank Mrs. Corr and the entire yearbook staff for all of their hard work and dedication that they have put in to this endeavor. Seniors, please know that we will miss you and that we look forward to your visits back to us as Saint John’s alumnus!

¢As the editors of the 2009-2010 Saint John's

Catholic Prep yearbook, we are proud to present our part of history. The Publication's Class has worked tirelessly creating this special memoir of our year. From past to present, the pictures in this yearbook represents the progression of our school year. It is our hope that you enjoy looking at each page and appreciate all of the hard work that has gone into creating this yearbook. This is a book to be valued now and for years come!

The campus of Saint John's Catholic Prep was buried under nearly 4 feet of snow with drifts that climbed much higher!

Mr. Catalani and the facilities staff worked for days to get the school ready for students to return! Finding a place for all of the snow was no easy task, so, 10 foot piles were scattered around! This was definitely a major event and another chapter in the history of the school and the Prospect Hall property.

Frederick was virtually a ghost town for days after the storms. There was so much snow and no easy solution for it's removal! It was eventually trucked out

of the city and placed in huge piles at Harry Grove Stadium!

€ast 2nd Street in downtown

Frederick was barely passible a week after the second February blizzard!

On a Saturday in October, forty students, parents, alumni and friends gathered to clean up the garden area in front of the mansion.

The Saint John’s Catholic

Prep Varsity Football team, in their first move back to the MIAA B Conference since 2007, made great strides in an incredibly demanding conference. The Vikings were competitive in all conference games this year, leading conference powers Boys Latin and

Archbishop Curley into the 4th quarter. The Vikings lost six games this year by a combined total of 14 points.

Veteran starters continued

to master their positions and new starters and team members made great progress throughout the season. The Vikings look to be even more competitive next year, returning the bulk of their production from this year’s team.

The SJCP Boys’ Cross Country Team had a very exciting season.

As a team, the men beat every

team in the MIAA B Conference at least once! They finished the season with an impressive record of 20 wins — 4 losses. The

men are looking forward to many more exciting seasons to

come! The SJCP Girls’ Cross

Country Team had a fun and surprisingly successful season.

The ladies numbered only six,

and sseveralmembers were new to the sport. Despite this, as a team, the ladies beat 11 teams at

the IAAM B Conference Championships finishing the season with a record of 22 wins — to losses. At the MD/DC State

Private Schools Championship, the girls brought home the Small School State Championship Trophy!

Congratulations girls!

The SJCP Girls' Soccer team

completed a very successful season with a 14-5 record, which included an 8-1 first

place league record. The team won the Maryland

Independent Private School Tournament with a thrilling victory over rival St. Maria Goretti. The Girls’ Soccer team

also went undefeated at home in league play. This is only the 3rd time this has happened in Saint John's Girls’ Soccer

history! The team defeated Garrison Forest and Roland Park in the playoffs with goals coming from five different players and outstanding play in the midfield and defense.

The team returned to the finals for the first time since 2004

where they met 2nd seeded Bryn Mawr. In a tough game,

Bryn Mawr won 3-0 but the girls battled hard. The future looks extremely bright for the lady Vikings!

In a very eventful season, SJCP Boys'

Soccer grew to 17 players strong. Each player was committed to putting in the work to make the team the best it could be.

This season's team fell victim to inconsistency

and injury but, none the less, the guys were able to persevere and achieve

the goal set in the preseason ...making it to the playoffs! The team was lead by the four strong senior players.

The quality of this young team creates excitement

for the future of the Boys’ Soccer program.

meaning behind the rings is far more important then the rings themselves. They are a source of pride and a symbol of what joins you together as the Class of 2011!

Pause and reflect on where you have been and where you are going as yourjunior year draws to aclose. This is an occasion to celebrate with your classmates and a time to consider the many opportunities you have to gain knowledge and grow as a person in your remaining year at Saint John's and beyond.
