St. Mary’s is such an amazing place. More than 35 years in the public school system has given me a lot of experience working with students, parents, teachers and administrators. In the classroom for 26 years, I have taught grades 2, 4, 5 and 6. I have worked as a middle school vice principal and principal, and as a high school principal. I have coached high school boys basketball for 17 years, high school football for 22 years, and, for the past 18 years, AAU girls basketball. For years, as I was “around” the school (being a Lynner all my life), I still did not know the gem it really is. A high school like most American high schools, St. Mary’s has its rigorous academic programs, great athletic programs,
many extra-curricular programs, and the students are as social as they come. What sets St. Mary’s apart from other schools is its strong Theology department and Campus Ministry program, as well as the commitment to giving back to the community that the entire school embraces. There is a spirit in and around the school that is real and present. This spirit is nourished daily by students, faculty and administration. The mission is real and genuine.
James Ridley Interim Principal
Dear St. Mary’s Community, What a joy it is to write this letter for the fourth edition of St. Mary’s Magazine. I thoroughly hope you enjoy the issue. This fall we welcomed the largest freshmen class in five years from the local North Shore area, as well as twenty international students from China, Vietnam and Portugal. St. Mary’s continues to offer an urban and now global education ensuring our students experience an academically rigorous program with a commitment to student life in our Catholic tradition. The faces may change, but the mission is the same and magical vocational stories continue to evolve on this city block in Lynn. We are at a very important time in our storied history. Demographics continue to change but we stay true to mission with a commitment to remaining affordable. The Board of Trustees and entire school community participated in a self-study process over the past sixteen months to prepare for our NEASC accreditation visit. The process was inclusive, honest and intentional and the result was a very strategic report with a school improvement plan. Students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, friends and board members met with the visiting team over a threeday period in October. The visiting team was very impressed with the self-awareness of our school and our commitment to mission, our Pillars for Success, academic rigor, data-driven decisions and the importance of our community as we work together to advance our mission. The major takeaway for the committee was that St.
Mary’s is necessary and provides an important mission in Lynn and in the Archdiocese of Boston. The St. Mary’s alumni legacy and network was most profound to the visiting team and we look forward to the committee’s recommendations. I am thrilled to welcome our new Principal, Jim Ridley, and Director of Enrollment, Moira Talbot. Moira and I had the oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to witness Pope Francis’ address to Congress on the West Wing lawn in D.C. as guests of Congressman Seth Moulton. The Pope’s U.S. tour was inspiring and our community participated by watching all of the addresses to Congress and the United Nations in their classrooms. A banner in our lobby quotes Pope Francis: “Dear Young People, Do not bury your talents that God has given you. Do not be afraid to dream of great things.” The goal of St. Mary’s Magazine is to share the stories of the growth of the school and to engage you in the life of our community. This issue is focused on the talents and gifts of our students in the arts and humanities. This issue also shares the goals of the Building Futures Campaign. We honor you as legacy and benefactors in the Annual Report. Your generosity to St. Mary’s is important and truly makes a difference in the lives of our faculty and students. Simply stated, we could not do what we do without you. Thank you for your fidelity to St. Mary’s! God is indeed good! All the time!

september
fully revamped summer program made its debut this past summer, following a concerted effort to make the program more academically and athletically robust. Alongside the STEM programming offered since 2013, new programs were added to help St. Mary’s students get a jumpstart on the school year and make the most of summer. Responsible for accomplishing all of this—with aid from a team of St. Mary’s staff—was athletic director Jeff Newhall, who added a second title this past spring: Director of Summer Programming. Newhall’s mission was to ensure that the reimagined summer program met two key goals. First, it would need to cater to a wider range of students than ever before. Second, all of the camps, clinics and classes would need to measurably reward students that chose to dedicate their time to self-improvement instead of the typical summertime festivities. According to Newhall, the program, spanning the full month of July, succeeded in both regards. “Anytime a child attends one of our academic or athletic summer courses, I think it speaks volumes about their motivation to improve in whatever they may be involved in,” he said. “It’s easy to get up and go to the beach or an amusement park; it’s not so easy to motivate yourself during the summer for science, math, writing or participating in sports in an indoor gymnasium.”
Every student who elected to participate was rewarded with workshops that ranged from volleyball to writing. Whether to sharpen a skill or work on a weakness, every student dedicated enough to forgo the amusement park— at least on that particular day—in favor of summer-schooling or off-season athletics left more prepared. “I would say that, for the kids, the impact for this coming school year is that one way or another they will be ready for any academic or athletic challenge they may encounter this year,” said Newhall. Newhall was a natural fit for the summer program director position. After graduating in St. Mary’s in 1994, he came back in 2000 as a physical education teacher, and eventually took on teaching duties for a number senior elective courses. Now entering his ninth year as the athletic director, Newhall’s experience as a teacher and a student at St. Mary’s for more than 20 years made him the perfect candidate to facilitate the summer program’s overhaul. Given the stakes for students, the endeavor was wholly warranted and an overwhelming success. “The summer program provides a great opportunity for students to get themselves familiar with staff, teachers, and the campus, as well as meeting some future classmates,” said Newhall.

Moira talbot
has been an educator for almost four decades, yet filling the role of interim principal at St. Mary’s is his first foray into a non-public setting. Ridley, who retired as director at Lynn Tech in 2010 after a 34-year career in Lynn Public Schools, has now served as interim principal at Marshall and Breed Middle Schools in the past year. Though he has been at St. Mary’s for only a few months, it did not take him long to be impressed. “I’ve lived in Lynn all my life and seen St. Mary’s from the outside,” Ridley said. “To be on the inside now, I realize this is a great school. People here live up to what they say they are going to do.” In addition to two years as Tech director, Ridley’s career in Lynn Public Schools included an earlier 9-year stint as an administrator at Breed, four as principal, and 23 years as an elementary school teacher. “One thing about St. Mary’s,” he said. “They want everything to be first class. The kids know that and like it.” “We are thrilled to have someone with Jim’s experience on board,” said Grace Cotter Regan. “Because he was familiar with our school and many of our students, it has been a seamless transition.” Ridley has been going full speed ahead since starting in July.
was always aware of St. Mary’s growing up in Marblehead. Now that she has settled into the role of Director of Enrollment Management, she likes what she sees. “There’s something about St. Mary’s, a feeling of community, family and faith.” Talbot joins us from admissions at Newton Country Day, a Catholic, private school for girls in grades 5-12. Prior, she was assistant director of admissions at The Gunnery, a private boarding school in Connecticut. “St. Mary’s has a strong tradition and reputation on the North Shore,” said Talbot, who arrives at the school at a time when the incoming freshman class is the biggest in five years—131—and includes four students who graduated at the top of their class at area middle schools. She has already worked to streamline the admissions process with a new application designed to make it easier for applicants while gathering more information about them and their families. “We want to know their likes and dislikes,” Talbot said. “We realize it’s a big decision for families.” The Marian Division—grades 6–8—is an area where Talbot sees definite growth potential. “St. Mary’s offers a small learning environment. We can grow the Marian Division in a healthy way, and that will help the high school.”

A focus on creativity is ever-present in the curriculum at St. Mary’s. Senior matt mcmanus ‘16 is proof of that. With college around the corner, he’s been using his photography and videography talents to distinguish himself as an applicant. Thanks to the accomplishments he’s already made in a relatively short period of time, schools are likely to take notice. Developing his skills has literally allowed him to go from being a passive viewer to an active participant. When he was a camper at the YMCA’s Camp Lawrence, an all-boys camp on Bear Island in Lake Winnipesaukee, he would relish watching the culmination of a summer’s worth of memories in the end-of-year videos. Known as the “Camp Lawrence Final Videos,” they gave McManus an opportunity to reminisce with fellow campers as they relived the fun. “I began with a fascination of photography two years ago, but I eventually grew more toward video production,” he explained. “The biggest influence on me were the videos that I watched as a camper and now direct as a staff member. I saw those as a little kid and thought they were the greatest videos I’d ever seen, but in the last couple years, I’ve been able to play a part in making them.” The photo of the life preserver was captured during his time there. The growing process for McManus has been an organic one. Each new project has been replete with learning opportunities. Distilling these lessons, the senior seeks to improve with each successive foray by extracting all that he can and applying it to his next undertaking. “I have been able to produce many different videos and have been able to improve as a videographer,” he said. “Each project I work on is a learning experience and it allows me to better my abilities.” Matt takes much from his life in determining the subject of his videos, including artistic season recaps of the St. Mary’s cross country team and a gorgeous depiction of downtown Lynn. He has created multiple projects showcased on the school’s website and at signature events such as the Hall of Fame. His most recent project, posted to the St. Mary’s YouTube page, focused on St. Mary’s Fall Fan Fest, the Oct. 24 celebration of all things Spartan Athletics. What’s next for McManus? That remains to be seen, but it will undoubtedly be a boon to his future prospects. “I’d like to keep making projects for St. Mary’s, and in the future I’d like to do more collaborative work and see what kind of influence others can have on my work and workflow,” he said. “I’d also like to do more large-scale videography projects like wedding videos and short films. I’d like to experiment with producing commercials for companies, too.” This maturity, coupled with his drive and the opportunities a St. Mary’s education has afforded him, makes him unlikely to fall short of his goals. To that end, McManus already has a few lofty aspirations. “I have dreams of one day producing a full-length feature film, but more realistically, I would like to start producing larger scale videos like wedding videos,” he said. “Also, I hope to land a job with my college’s media department, which would allow me to further develop my photo and video skills.” VS Matt’s photography skills captured these beautiful shots, including this artistic still life on Bear Island and one from student-directed First Person Shooter featuring Jack Leonard ’15 and Rebecca Bourque ’15.

MIAA state championship in each of the last eight years and 20 overall. “It’s hard to imagine another school, especially one our size, accomplishing that,” Athletic Director Jeff Newhall said of the title run. “The consistent success is a testament to our student-athletes and coaches. We are proud to have a winning culture that stretches across our athletic program.” The numbers bear that out. Varsity teams were a combined 237-125-8 in 2014-15, a .651 winning percentage. That earned the school a second-place finish in the Nason Div. 3 standings, which includes 19 Catholic co-ed schools throughout the state. Seventeen of 21 St. Mary’s varsity teams qualified for the MIAA
tournament, with golf and boys soccer advancing to the sectional finals. St. Mary’s won Catholic Central League championships in boys soccer, boys basketball, softball and boys tennis. Athletes and coaches earned individual acclaim as well as Christian Chavez ’15 (boys soccer), Taylor Capozzi ’16 (girls soccer), Dennis Bailer ’15 (boys basketball) and Mia Nowicki ’17 (softball) earned All-Scholastic honors. Chavez, Bailer and Nowicki were named CCL MVP, as was eighth-grade tennis phenom Brady Ryan ’19.

How do es St. Mary’s emp ower students through the arts? It starts from the moment a student walks through the do ors and it stays with them for a lifetime. Every day students are encouraged to extract as much as they can from coursework teeming with art of the exp eriential and educational varieties. The sum of all this is that students interested in pursuing the arts are given every opp ortunity to do so.
rebecca kirby ’16 singer
casey walton ’16 writer
“Some children enter the arts with reservations,” said Trish Richard, longtime St. Mary’s art teacher and onetime art studio owner. “Some have not had art in their grammar school education because of budget cuts. The first two years I taught at SMH, art was an elective for juniors and seniors. I approached the principal and asked to create an art appreciation course for all tenth graders. The idea was enthusiastically accepted. If a student does not have exposure to the arts in high school, I feel that they will not have the confidence to enroll in college-level art classes. In my opinion, this would be a tragedy.” She’s not alone in her perspective. Most artists willingly making a lifelong commitment to art; it’s simply in their bones. The significance of this is, without proper exposure in a supportive environment, that seed may never bud. That’s precisely the tragedy that St. Mary’s, with the help of teachers like Richard, are squarely aiming to avoid. Well along this path, Rebecca Kirby, class of 2016, has been involved in the arts since mary’s she first visited RAW Arts Works 14 st. magazine fall/winter 2015

in Lynn at the age of 5. Years later, her commitment hasn’t wavered as she approaches a critical time for many young artists: higher education. As Richard admitted, “most students will not major in art.” But Kirby has chosen to buck the norm here by setting her sights on a program that will allow her to pursue her passion. “In terms of college, my dream career is being a vocal artist where I could be a voiceover artist, a talk show host or radio announcer,” said Kirby. “Desiring to pursue this career definitely limits my college choices to focusing on majors for communications. I’ve always been told I’m a loud person—but in a good way and that my vocal techniques would be fantastic on TV or radio.” Taking a leap of faith like this requires equal parts talent and formal education. And both components are dependent on each other. Nurturing that innate curiosity is no small feat. Students at St. Mary’s, however, are given the necessary opportunities and resources to develop their artistic side, making stories like Kirby’s a stitch in a much larger quilt. Promising musicians are finding a welcome home at St. Mary’s, too. Sophomore CJ Fusco began drumming at the age of three and also picked up an interest in playing the piano along the way. Now, as a St. Mary’s student, he’s eager to further develop his musical talents. “My brother Ryan taught me most of what I know and I also took some professional drum lessons for a short time,” said Fusco. “I also taught myself to play the piano. I learned to play piano basically just by listening to songs and then playing by sound. I play the drums a lot more than I play piano, but I do like playing both.” Fusco embodies the more readily seen rendition of a student–artist; he doesn’t approach it as a future profession, but rather, an outlet for creative expression. “Although I love playing music, I don’t think I will ever pursue it professionally,” said Fusco, adding that he’d be interested

in working with faculty to create a new ensemble or band to join together other musicians at St. Mary’s. “I actually aspire to be a pilot. I would love to fly F-14s in the Air Force someday and then go on to become a commercial airline pilot. I am currently working on getting my pilot’s license by taking flying lessons at Beverly Airport. I think I will always play drums and piano just for fun.” Modern artists often begin their journey by throwing caution to the wind, but not as their predecessors once did. Instead of breaking established forms and boundaries of their preferred medium, they’re usually forced to choose between art and a potentially safer route. For St. Mary’s students, there’s no need to barter their future for the opportunity to experience the arts. “My talents will definitely take me further than I would go without them,” said Kirby. “I certainly have a different outlook on life every time I create a piece of art. Art is not just picking up a paintbrush and copying what you see in front of you; art is unexplainable. The best way to describe art is this: put headphones in your ears without any music playing, plug the cord into your paintbrush or your camera or your pen, and let your thoughts and emotions play through your hands. Let them create what has yet to be created. Believe it or not, your hands can change the world.” This way of thinking starts with the St. Mary’s administration and trickles down to students. As Richard explains, it’s a matter of allowing students to find their way in a sometimes-uncertain landscape. “The arts provide us with problemsolving skills and innovative mindsets,” she said. “Art expands the mind and the soul. Experience in the arts teaches us how to solve interesting problems. Art nurtures inventiveness. It engages children in a process that helps in the development of self-esteem. The world needs creative thinkers.” VS Interest sparked? Learn more at stmaryslynn.com.

trish richard wants to instill a love of the arts in our students
ot every student that arrives at St. Mary’s comes with a formal art education in tow. But thanks to the school’s efforts and the work of teachers like Trish Richard, they’re all certain to leave with one. Being exposed to unfamiliar experiences is a rite of passage for Richard’s students. Annual field trips begin with a reluctant pilgrimage to a bastion of art—typically the Museum of Fine Arts or Salem’s Peabody Essex Museum—and end in exuberance over the potential discovery of a newfound interest. These are the moments that drive the teacher. Her next project will forever be her chase, and in her mind, always has the potential be her magnum opus. As an artist herself, she never has to conform for her students. She shares an inseparable side of herself in hopes of awakening the latent artist inside of them all. A cornucopia of art, history and, most of all, inspiration, awaits students in Richard’s classroom. “I want to instill a love and appreciation of the arts,” she said. “We study the art timeline from cave art all the way to contemporary artists. I expose them to a variety of master artists and we experiment with projects in various styles. The students will paint, sew, print, weave, mold clay and learn a new vocabulary during their year with me.” Richard began helping others reach their potential as artists long before she
arrived at St. Mary’s seven years ago. After graduating from Lynn Classical High School, she attended Boston State College (now part of UMass Boston following a merger) and later, the Massachusetts College of Art, before graduating Salem State College with a degree in early childhood education. Her professional teaching career began as a kindergarten teacher at a nursery. With that experience, as well as another teaching role at a local school, she decided to launch her own business by opening up a ceramic art studio, which she operated for 15 years. Sea Side Ceramics Studio was Richard’s creation, but it couldn’t replace her desire to help students in the classroom. For that, she decided to turn to St. Mary’s, where she made the jump from teaching kindergartenage students to high schoolers. And it required some adjusting. “It was a leap to go from teaching kindergarten students to seniors in high school,” she said. “Having had the experience of raising three teenagers was a huge help in making the transition. I love the zeal, eagerness to volunteer for a needy cause, and spirit of the young men and women at St. Mary’s. It brightens my day when I am visited by a student and asked for help with something in a play, advice on a project, or just to borrow a glue gun. There is always something worthwhile going on at our school.” VS
what ARE MARIANS?
The Marian Division is St. Mary’s middle school, but don’t let that characterization fool you; there are many features that set the grades 6–8 program apart from traditional middle schools. The Marian Division prides itself on its close integration with the high school. “Students can participate in anything that the high schools kids do,” said Jacqueline Foley ’90, who became dean of the Marian Division after 16 years of teaching English and religion at St. Mary’s. That means Marian Division students can play on all sports teams, participate in St. Mary’s topnotch dance and theater program, and use all of the same gym, lab and lecture hall facilities. The Marian Division stands on its own with a number of programs not often found in other middle schools. Seventh and eighth graders participate in St. Mary’s new integrated STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) class in addition to regular math and science classes. These classes expose students to interdisciplinary fields include design and robotics. Along the way, Marian Division students get mentorship from high school students. “They really watch out for them,” said Foley. The rigorous curriculum, along with close integration with the high school, means that Marian Division students are uniquely suited to tackle the challenges of the next step in their education. “Because they have been traveling in the whole school for three years, they matriculate to the high school with ease,” said Foley. “They are just moving to a different part of their ‘home’ when entering high school. It looks a little different, but the comfort level is the same.”

n addition to a demanding curriculum that helps them develop critical reading and writing skills, Marian Division students have access to a number of extracurricular activities, field trips, and clubs that foster a love for the written word. “Writing is the main component of my classes,” said Linda Renzi, a language arts teacher in the Marian Division. Her students use writing to respond to literature, craft persuasive essays, and think critically about their own ideas and the ideas they encounter in literature. The literature curriculum ranges from Dickens to Chekhov to stories from Africa, China, South America, and Native American traditions.
Renzi puts particular focus on poetry in her classroom. “Poetry allows the students to develop an appreciation of the power of simple, figurative language in conveying depth of emotion,” she said. Sixth graders produce a poetry lap book, in which they do an in-depth analysis of a poem and its author. Eighth graders participate in the Favorite Poem Project, an initiative of Boston University and Library of Congress, where students record a video of themselves reading aloud and responding to their favorite poem. (Both of those projects, as well as a seventh-grade production of scenes from the Civil Rights movement, were part of a recent English Language Arts celebration.) In addition to the standard language
mariandivisionarts arts curriculum, eighth graders take a journalism/yearbook class that puts their writing and editing skills to work in real publications: the Marian Times newspaper, and the Marian Yearbook. Students are responsible for all of the writing, editing, and photography, and learn the basics of headline writing, layout, and other publishing skills. Renzi herself is a published writer, and is working on a historical novel about the Great Chelsea Fire of 1908. Marian Division students put their skills to work in outside writing competitions. Renzi said her students enter the Library of Congress’s Letters
About Literature competition, which asks fourth-through-twelfth graders to read a story, speech, or poem and write a letter to its author explaining their reaction. Students also enter the Will McDonough Sports Museum writing contest. “We always have students who score in the top five percent of Massachusetts,” said Renzi. Eighth graders also get the chance to see a live performance, taking an annual field trip to New York for a Broadway show. Renzi isn’t sure what this year’s trip will be, but the new Aladdin musical is a possibility. “The purpose is for students to see a live performance.”
One example of the love of the written word that the language arts program hopes to instill is a new student-founded book club. “Two seventh grade girls wrote up a proposal for the book club last year and asked me if I would be their advisor,” Renzi said. “We meet every two weeks after school and had six to ten students.” The club read more than ten books last year, including popular young adult novels like Cinder, Clockwork Angel, and The Fault in Our Stars.

The reaccreditation process is an arduous undertaking to say the least, but schools that go through it typically gain much more than a recertification. St. Mary’s has spent the last two years preparing for its reaccreditation by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).
While the final report is compiled by NEASC representatives who visit and take a very close look at the school, the information gained in a self-evaluation conducted by St. Mary’s with the help of students, staff, board, alumni, parents, friends and benefactors is invaluable. “The process of self-review really improves the schools that do it,” said Moira Talbot, the new Director of Enrollment Management at St. Mary’s who has been through reaccreditation at two other schools. “In self-reflection you identify the things you do every day but may not have thought of as strengths.” The main idea of the self-study, said interim Principal Jim Ridley, is for a school to answer a few key questions: “Are you doing what you say you’re doing and, if not, why not? It makes you look at all the programs and standards for the school.” St. Mary’s started the process in the 2013–14 school year when committees were set up to examine virtually all aspects of the school. The 2014–15 school year was spent reviewing the 15 standards set by NEASC and making recommendations on how St. Mary’s could improve. Chris Carmody, a religion teacher and campus minister, served as the overall chairman of the St. Mary’s NEASC committee, which consisted of approximately 150 people. “We looked at the school in every area,” Carmody said.
Where are we strong? Where can we improve?
bringing vision 2015 to life The foundation for the work was our mission statement:
St. Mary's is a Catholic, college-preparatory school serving grades 6–12. Our rigorous academic and extra-curricular programs encourage young men and women to reach their spiritual, intellectual, moral, physical and creative potential. According to Head of School Grace Cotter Regan, getting everyone to understand the mission and realize it is the basis
for everything St. Mary’s strives to accomplish was the first goal of the reaccreditation process. “One of the highlights that came out of the self-study was the implementation of the mission statement in our daily life at St. Mary’s,” said Regan, who is in her fourth year at St. Mary’s and signed a new contract this summer. Out of that mission statement came the school’s four Pillars for Success: Catholic, Excellence, Integrity, Respect. “We use the pillars to embody the mission,” Regan said. Carmody concurred. “The mission statement is broad,” he said. “The pillars are how we live out the mission on a day-today basis.”
Catholic Excellence Integrity Respect
St. Mary’s decided to place special emphasis on Integrity in the 2014–15 school year. This year, Respect is the focus. “The idea is to show respect in any situation you may be in,” Ridley said. “Respect the educational process. Respect the community. Respect your opponent.” The mission statement and Pillars for Success were valuable tools in the self-study process. “It was very beneficial,” Carmody said. “We have already started making some of the changes (recommended in the self-study). The faculty, students and administration want to make sure we are working for the same purpose.” The NEASC committee visited St. Mary’s Oct. 18–21. Members were given the final draft of the school improvement plan devised as part of the self-study process. Regan said the recommendations in that plan include: enhanced communication between the board, faculty, staff and parents; increased diversity on the board and faculty; additional professional development opportunities; and a formal assessment of the digital citizenship initiative. “There are short-term and long-term goals,” Regan said, placing the success of the Building Futures campaign, a new building centered on STEM education and a stronger focus on arts and humanities in the long-term category. Short-term goals include improving the infrastructure on campus, maintaining affordability and enhancing student outcomes, Regan added. “Increasing enrollment and fundraising are two major priorities,” said Regan, who was very pleased to welcome a freshman class of 131 this year, the largest in five years. “Our goal is 500 in the high school and 120 in the Marian Division.” The initiatives already in place include:
stem options available to grades 6-12 through pltw courses and clubs such as FIRST Robotics competition and FIRST LEGO LEague
the st. mary’s scholars program, now in its third year with students from the classes of 2017, 2018 and 2019
mandarin offered as a world language option for grades 6-9
the international students program, in its second year, with 19 students from china and vietnam in 2014–15
naviance, a college- and careerreadiness platform that connects academic achievement to future goals
“Naviance gives us another great tool to utilize and the kids like it,” guidance counselor Frank Sarro said. “It’s like one-stop shopping for students and parents. They can research colleges, see what it takes to get in, request recommendations from their teachers and request their transcript. It streamlines the process for kids.” Talbot is anxious for the final results of the accreditation process: “I’m a data person. We will see where we can improve. It’s important for admissions/enrollment to see our strengths and then communicate that to prospective families.” Learn more about the reaccreditation process at STMARYSLYNN.COM/NEASC.

t may be 50 years since Glenn Morris graduated from St. Mary’s, but he remains an active and invested alumnus who is giving of his time and talent to ensure that the school is viable for future generations. Morris is serving as chair of the Building Futures campaign, which has already raised more than $7 million on the way to a goal of $12 million.
“This is an aggressive campaign but it’s already been successful,” said Morris, a member of the original board of trustees when the school changed its governance structure in 2006. He remains an ex-officio board member while he leads the campaign. “We need to get to a number that will allow us to put on a new addition.” Morris said approximately $9 million

The new wing would include up to 21 classrooms, the majority of which would be used for STEM—science, technology, engineering and math— education. “STEM is very important,” Morris said.

building futures the campaign for st. mary’s
Dear Friends of St. Mary’s, I write this letter at a busy time of the school year as well as at an important point in the history of St. Mary’s. Over the past year, we performed an assessment of the school in preparation for an independent review by the New England Association of Schools & Colleges (NEASC). This week, the NEASC team completed their onsite visit where they interviewed faculty, administrators, students, parents and board members. The final findings of this accreditation process will not be known for several months but our school community represented itself well. Our faculty and administration were well prepared. The students spoke articulately of the difference St. Mary’s makes in their lives. The board discussed our plans and imperatives for the future with the NEASC team. As part of the NEASC process, we reaffirmed our ideals and our mission. St. Mary’s is a very good school with a long legacy in Lynn and on the North Shore. It is not an accident that the school is located in its urban setting. One hundred thirty years ago, the school mission was to educate Catholic immigrant children who were not made welcome elsewhere. Through the decades, St. Mary’s attracted many from neighboring communities and socioeconomic groups. These families were seeking academic excellence and, in most cases, ethical and religious guidance. Today, St. Mary’s similarly embraces its location because it offers an environment where students from all backgrounds, ethnicities and various religions can gain the confidence, character and consciousness they need to be successful, contributing members in an increasingly diverse world. We recognize that students may be diverse in their backgrounds but they are the same in their aspirations to be equipped for what the rapidly
changing world demands. The diversity of our urban setting offers an experience today’s students will encounter in their lives and throughout their careers. They will be prepared. And because we are a Catholic school, we forthrightly address the need to care about the wellbeing of others and, in turn, at St. Mary’s we learn that we are compelled to act. To retain these distinguishing aspects of the St. Mary’s educational experience, we are in the midst of the largest capital campaign in our history called Building Futures. We have named a new Campaign Chair, Glenn Morris ’65, to bring us around the final turn and down the last long stretch over the next 18 months. The campaign underscores that to remain vibrant, relevant and a school of choice for the students throughout the region, we have choices to make which will define the future of St. Mary’s. This campaign focuses its fundraising on two components: increasing our endowment and improving our facilities. To remain a school of choice for students and families, we must add and upgrade classrooms and other programmatic space to support our faculty and students. We must make our campus a more attractive and secure learning environment to accommodate a larger student body in the coming years. To remain aligned with our mission, we must ambitiously improve our resources for financial assistance for students who would otherwise not be able attend St. Mary’s. Failure to fund additional financial assistance would not only be a loss for the student who is unable to attend but we recognize it would be a tremendous loss to those students who are fortunate to attend. As I have learned more deeply about St. Mary’s as a long-serving board member, I too feel compelled to support this school and its mission. We have exceptional school leadership at all levels; our faculty is first rate and dedicated to improving in their profession; our alumni are engaged and invested in their school. It is, however, the present students and those that follow who provide the answer to why many of us serve and support the school. Through this service and support, our investment offers students the opportunity of a lifetime. I have learned St. Mary’s graduates will repay us by making their mark on our world. Please support St. Mary’s. It will be the best gift we each make this year. Warm Regards,
William S. Mosakowski, Chair, St. Mary’s Board of Trustees

he foundation for the successful St. Mary’s drama program was built in 1969 when a production of The Crucible hit the stage in the Cardinal Cushing Center gymnasium, now known as the Tony Conigliaro ’62 Gym. Those who played a part in the early productions on the stage have fond memories of their experience. “It was a great venue,” said Brian Corcoran ’70, who played the male lead in The Crucible in 1969 and Exit the King in 1970. “The drama club was a big deal.” Colleen McManus ’70 yearned to play the female lead in The Crucible but she did not get the part. The girl who did, however, was eventually unable to perform, so McManus was elevated to the role of Abigail Williams. “That was a good show,” McManus said, noting the important contributions of Corcoran’s older brother, John, a 1965 St. Mary’s graduate who, as an Emerson College student, came back to assist director James Khoury. “John Corcoran had so much to do with the success of those shows,” said McManus, who teaches theatre at a school in Connecticut. Exit the King was a smash hit, earning top honors at the state and regional drama competitions. That play marked the St. Mary’s stage debut of Paula Plum ’71, whose portrayal of Queen Marguerite won her Best Actress honors in the competitions. Brian Corcoran played King Berenger and he also delivered an outstanding performance. “Brian made that production,” McManus said. “He was incredible.” All four have made a career of performing. Plum, a Medford resident, has appeared in more than 100 plays, in addition to doing TV voice-overs and directing. She also teaches at Northeastern and offers private acting lessons. McManus, whose younger brother, Patrick, served as mayor of Lynn from 1992–2002, acted and directed in New York and LA before moving back to the East Coast when her son was born 26 years ago. She remains active in theatre as a director in Stamford. Brian and John Corcoran became well-known Irish singers who toured with the likes of Tommy Makem and the
star star star star
Clancy Brothers. Brian, who lives in Andover, still performs at elderly housing developments, doing as many as 36 shows a month. He also leads tours of Ireland on which he entertains. As officers of the Drama Club, pictured above, all of these alumni had such a positive experience that clearly had a lasting effect. “I still have the fake fur that was used to line the fur of the king,” Plum said. “I bring it when I talk to high school groups. It shows how important that play was to me. I tell them their experiences will change their lives. Drama helps kids find a voice and gives them confidence.” More than 4½ decades after The Crucible and Exit the King, drama is alive and well at St. Mary’s, with an annual drama festival production and school musical performed on the same stage—which may be good for nostalgia, but not necessarily for practical purposes. “The stage is still beautiful space,” said Kara McGovern ’90, an English teacher who performed as a student and served as director of the drama club for several years. “It’s much larger than a lot of schools have, but it could use some work.” Mary Jo LaPointe ’73 performed in Exit the King as a freshman. A teacher at St. Mary’s since 2003, she has coordinated the current drama program, with some student members pictured above, for three years, assisted by English teacher Heath Whelan. She agrees the facility could use freshening up. “The curtains, lighting and sound could be improved,” said LaPointe. “Last year the lights blew during the spring musical.” LaPointe has tried to expand the opportunities for drama students. She has taken a group to New York for a workshop on Broadway and to see a show, and students perform at area nursing homes and elderly housing developments. LaPointe said the drama club is not just for students who want appear on stage. “We want to provide students as many opportunities as possible to learn acting and the technical side—lighting, costumes, set building and design,” she said. PKH
Senior Jeanmarie LaPointe ’16 is in love with theater. And her passion has met with success. She not only directed First Person Shooter last fall, but also won her fifth Mass. Educational Theater Guild All Star Cast/Crew award, a new record for any St. Mary’s student. Originally, Jeanmarie hadn’t planned to take on the role of director. It started as a joke with her mother, who currently teaches religion and moderates St. Mary’s Theater Company. It wasn’t until fellow drama students supported the idea that Jeanmarie began to consider the possibility. “It was a whirlwind of picking out shows then talking to students, advisors and faculty, but somehow I ended up with ‘Director’ next to my name,” the beloved actress stated. “I didn’t think the theater company was ready to take on such a serious subject. It was a big risk, but there I was: in the audition room, my peers coming in and giving their best dramatic monologues, thinking to myself, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’” Production was rather difficult. With the onslaught of snow, meeting after school became a huge difficulty, and with a small cast of twelve, one actor missing a rehearsal could setback the entire show. But the show must go on. Jeanmarie described sitting in the audience: “I heard sniffles from a few rows over. It is so rewarding to know you got through to someone’s emotions and truly made them feel through theater.” Winning an award, having actor Jack Leonard ’15 win an METG award, and receiving a standing ovation was just the icing on the cake. Jeanmarie has performed in more than twenty shows, including such favorites as Les Miserables (Featured Ensemble), Into The Woods (The Witch), Frankenstein 1930 (Daughter), Inherit The Wind (Melinda), and A Christmas Carol (Mrs. Dilbur/Pretty Guest), Beauty and the Beast (Mrs. Potts). Ranging from performing on stage to directing, designing costumes to flying set pieces, Jeanmarie has always found a way to remain active in theater. Her introduction to the performing arts came early in first grade. While performing with the choir at St. Mary’s Church, she caught the eye of the choir teacher and was requested to sing a duet at the Christmas mass. “That is when I first remember enjoying performing and singing,” Jeanmarie confesses. “I played a small role in the school musical when I was in fourth grade, and I fell in love with performing.” From there, it only took practice and dedication, and soon she was a part of the Marblehead Little Theater, debuting in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Jeanmarie says it was St. Mary’s Theater Company that really caused her passion for performance to strengthen and grow. She would never be the same performer after being cast as Hansel in their production of The Brother’s Grimm Spectaculathon. Though she was frustrated with being cast as a boy, she later realized that Hansel was a break-out role. “I went into rehearsals with a negative attitude, and accidentally made one of my best characters. The voice I used was as deep as I could go, and the physicality of the character was sluggish. Months into rehearsals, I loved Hansel.” When Jeanmarie isn’t at St. Mary’s or with MLT, one may be able to find her at Salem Time Machine earning a wage acting. She plans to study musical theater in college and pursue a career in professional acting. AM Writer Aislinn McCormack ‘16 is a senior at St. Mary’s. Aislinn won last year’s global Write the World New Year’s Competition with her piece The Trouble with This Year. She has been working with Write the World for roughly three years in different faculties, including Advisory Board Member and Peer Reviewer. Aislinn aspires to become a fiction novelist.

ine prestigious alumni spanning thirty years from the Class of 1949 to the Class of 1979 were inducted into St. Mary’s Hall of Fame. Beginning in 1990 with our inaugural inductee, Tony Conigliaro ’62, 2015 marked the 25th year of St. Mary’s Hall of Fame. Inductees are chosen for their service to the St. Mary’s community and their altruistic generosity toward others. Their lifetimes are marked by their striving toward excellence in whichever profession, vocation, sport, endeavor or other calling to which he or she answers. Each certainly has a story to tell. Marion Dorgan ’49 is a lifelong member of St. Mary’s and St. Patrick’s parishes and served as president of St. Patrick’s Ladies Sodality. Selflessly devoting her time, she volunteered at St. Patrick’s and St. Mary’s schools for more than 30 years. Her devotion to God, love of family and service to community are a reflection of the values she learned at St. Mary’s and cultivated throughout her life. She opened her home to her children’s friends, loving and caring for a decade’s worth of

St. Mary’s students and fostering a climate of warmth, safety and acceptance for all those visiting the Dorgan household. Five of her 11 children graduated from St. Mary’s in the 1970s. Frank McDonough ’51 built on the lessons of integrity, leadership and respect he learned at St. Mary’s to serve his country as a naval officer and as director of the U.S. General Services Administration’s Office of Intergovernmental Solutions. Frank is the former chair and one of two life members of the International Council for Information Technology in Government Administration representing Europe, Asia, Australia and North America. One of the region’s most respected comedians, Bob Seibel ’59 worked the Boston-area comedy circuit as well as Las Vegas, Atlantic City and other locations for more than 35 years. As a student at St. Mary’s, Bob said he could not control his desire to make people laugh. He went on to pursue various careers before finding his niche in comedy at age 37. He maintained that laughing is not a luxury, but a necessity. We were saddened to learn the news of Bob’s passing only a few short months later.
John Tegan Jr. ’59 developed a strong faith and love of education after transferring to St. Mary’s as a sophomore. John is founder and chairman of Communications Technology Services, which designs and installs voice and data systems in the commercial, government and education markets. John is also a member of the Finance Committee at the Paulist Center in Boston and volunteers twice a week as a chaplain at Brigham & Women’s Hospital. He and his late wife volunteered to teach CCD at many parishes over the years. John is a member of the board of trustees at Regis College. As chairman of the St. Mary’s Board of Trustees from 2009–14, Jack King ’66 oversaw the school’s strategic planning process for Vision 2015, which was the inspiration for the present Building Futures campaign. A graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Jack served on active duty as an Infantry officer for ten years before resigning as major in 1980. A Lynn native, Jack now divides his time between Marblehead and Houston. In his retirement, he teaches and consults in Boston, Houston, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. He remains a loyal alumnus and member of the Board.
Bob Irvine ’69 has spent his career as an innovator and pioneer in the securities and unclaimed property industries. With many successful endeavors to his name, Bob returned to his entrepreneurial roots in 1996 and formed Unclaimed Property Recovery and Reporting (UPRR), which became the largest provider of comprehensive unclaimed property services in the U.S. and Canada. Bob supports St. Mary’s, the alumni associations of Northeastern and Providence, RAW Arts of Lynn, New York City’s Self Help and Harlem Academy and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. Since graduating from Boston University’s School of Fine Arts and training at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts, Paula Plum ’71 has become one of Boston’s most versatile and honored actresses. Paula has fond memories of her time at St. Mary’s and performed at the school’s 125th anniversary gala, playing Sister Mary Basil in a comedic skit about what it was like when nuns ruled the roost at the school. Wearing many hats as an actress, director, writer and teacher, Paula has done voice-over, television and film work, and has taught at the Boston Conservatory, Suffolk University and UMass Lowell. Her artistic career is profiled in this edition of the Magazine. As a parent, trustee and alumnus, Paul Price ’75 has been a loyal supporter of St. Mary’s for nearly 50 years. A certified public accountant, Paul joined his brother Neal in forming Neal A. Price & Company, LLP in 1986. Paul is a member of the St. Mary’s Board of Trustees, the City of Lynn Planning Board and the board of directors of Children’s Friend and Family Services in Salem. Recognizing the value of a St. Mary’s education, he and his siblings founded the Loretta J. Price Scholarship in honor of their mother, benefitting deserving St. Mary’s students since 2000. As president of Berkshire Community College, Ellen Kennedy ’79 is dedicated to providing students with access to education to help them achieve their personal and professional goals. Ellen was named the seventh president of the college in 2012. Earlier in her career, she served as interim chief operating officer for the National Patient Safety Foundation and the director of development for WFCR New England Public Radio in Amherst. The oldest of five children, Ellen is the third generation in the Kennedy family to be inducted into the St. Mary’s Hall of Fame, following her father, Jack Kennedy ’52, and grandfather, Thomas E. “Pip” Kennedy.

The evening also featured a special announcement of our alumni and faculty recipients of the William F. Connell ’55 Service Awards, the highest award presented by St. Mary’s in recognition of demonstrated commitment to Christian service and exemplary contributions for the betterment of our community. The Connell Service Awards aim to introduce a higher level of awareness for the value of service to our students. It is our hope that they will learn how it is woven into the mission of St. Mary’s, and into the charism of who we are as a community of faith that supports others. As Lynn’s first director of community development, Ed Calnan ’57 dedicated 10 years to improving homes and neighborhoods for thousands of residents throughout the city. Ed served on the Board of Trustees at St. Mary’s and was inducted into the
Hall of Fame in 2009. He was instrumental in converting the former grammar school into St. Mary’s Plaza and the convent into St. Theresa House, both for elderly housing. Few teachers have impacted the lives of generations of St. Mary’s students like Fran White ’69, who is in her 41st year of teaching at the school. A Salem State graduate, Fran started teaching math at St. Mary’s in the fall of 1975, beginning her life-long career at St. Mary’s not just as an educator but as mentor and role-model for both students and faculty. She has become the longest serving lay teacher in St. Mary’s history and was inducted into the St. Mary’s Hall of Fame in 2009. Student recipient Adelina Katzounos ’16, who had been honored with a luncheon prior to receiving the award at the Junior Commissioning Ceremony, was also recognized.
More than 300 alumni and friends of St. Mary’s attended the inaugural Spartan Casino Night this past April. The Tony Conigliaro ’62 Gymnasium was transformed for a night of gaming, food and fun. Fellow Spartans enjoyed playing blackjack, poker, craps, roulette and more while Kevin Kennedy ’85 provided live entertainment.

lois o’brien mcgovern ’55 Lois O’Brien McGovern. With the ability to light up any room, Lois was truly beautiful inside and out. Her selfless personality combined with her inclination to always give back, especially to the Lynn school community, make us proud to call Lois a Spartan. Please keep Lois, her friends and her family in your thoughts and prayers. We remember Coach John Miller, a former defensive lineman for the Washington Redskins and Green Bay Packers, the football coach at St. Mary’s from 1967–82 and 2013 St. Mary’s Varsity Club inductee. “He was dedicated to the program,” says Kevin Calnan
’72. “He reflected what St. Mary’s sought to bring out in people.” We remember friend and benefactor Carolyn A. Lynch whose generosity through the Lynch Foundation and Catholic Schools Foundation helps thousands of students attend Catholic schools. Our community remembers Carolyn’s humble spirit and authentic kindness and care to all those she and her husband, Peter, served. Our students, parents, faculty, staff, alumni and faith community give thanks for the gift of Carolyn’s altruism, philanthropy and witness of faith. We keep Peter and his family in our prayers.

On June 8, our St. Mary’s community came together to honor Walter Gallo ’54 at the annual St. Mary’s Golf Open. Walter has always proven himself someone who is deeply committed to his community. As a charismatic leader, he has touched the lives of many who have been lucky enough to meet him. Walter’s commitment to service began in 1958, the year he graduated from Saint Anselm College, when he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Walter stayed in the Marine Corps until 1988 (1958–61 active, 1961–88 reserve), where he finished with the rank of Colonel. Upon retiring from the Marines, Walter continued his life of service as he began to volunteer at several organizations, including the New Hampshire Soup Kitchen Committee, the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependency Board, the Palace Theatre Trust Board, the Bedford Rotary Club, the Catholic Medical Center Board, the Serenity Place Board, the Easter Seals Veterans Board and the Valley Street Cemetery Board. Walter has received many awards that recognize his community commitment: Bedford Rotarian of the Year, Bedford Citizen of the Year, the Courage to Change Award, the Eleanor Collier Award and an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Saint Anselm. During his professional career Walter never forgot his roots, staying committed to the success of St. Mary’s through his strong leadership. Walter was a member of the Board of Trustees and Governing Board at St. Mary’s before being inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2005. A current resident of Bedford, New Hampshire, Walter is now enjoying retirement with his wife of 49 years, their two sons, two daughters and seven grandchildren.

the nuns at Our Lady of the Assumption School in Lynnfield in the mid-1960s for giving her a start in acting. “The nuns used to let me script scenes from a book instead of writing a book report,” Plum recalled. “I would act out the scenes with my friends. I preferred demonstrating.” So at age 11, Plum had decided she would be an actress. Fifty years later, she is still going strong: “I teach (acting) at Northeastern, I coach privately, I act professionally and I direct.” At St. Mary’s, Plum’s performance in an award-winning production of “Exit the King” earned her Best Actress accolades at the regional drama festival. “That was like a sign that this is what I should be doing,” she said. That was her first play; she has appeared in more than 100 since. Plum went on to Boston University, graduating from the School of Fine Arts before embarking on her professional acting career. Like many before her and many since, she struggled at first: “It was hard. I moved 14 times the first two years out of college, going from one gig to another and waitressing along the way.” Ironically, Plum said she got her big break when she took a break from acting. “I decided to stop for awhile. I settled in Boston, met my husband and we decided to make our life here,” said Plum, a Lynn native who lives in Medford. Plum got back into acting in 1978, taking on a variety of roles. In 1987 she landed a part in “Shear Madness,” a comedy that is on a 35-year run—and counting. Plum estimates she has appeared in about 1,000 performances of the comedy, while her husband, Richard Snee, has been in more than 4,000. Plum is a highly decorated actress, winning the Elliot Norton Award for sustained excellence from the Boston Theater Critics Association in 2004. She won Best Actress at the Boston Theater Awards in 1995 and twice from the Independent Reviewers of New England. The BU School of Fine Arts presented her the Distinguished Alumna Award in 2003. She has been referred to as perhaps one of Boston’s most visible and honored actresses. In addition to the stage, Plum has done voice overs or TV and film. She has a small role in the Woody Allen film “Irrational Man,” which was released in August. This summer, she acted in a production of “Twelfth Night” in New Haven, Conn. and she directed “Out of Sterno” at the Gloucester Stage Company this summer. In December, she will serve as artistic director of the WGBH musical production “A Christmas Celtic Sojourn,” for the 13th straight year. “I’m so lucky,” Plum said. “My life has been blessed.” PKH Nominate a deserving alum to the Hall of Fame by visiting stmaryslynn.com/hof.
ALUMNI CAREERS
St. Mary’s alumni have gone on to excel in a wide range of fields. Nowhere is this diversity more evident than in the arts, where a number of alumni have found their calling as actors, comedians, dancers, artists, musicians and more. Read on to meet some! 42 st. mary’s magazine
fall/winter 2015

image thanks to presilah nunez
presilah nunez ’08 is a professional actress that made the pilgrimage to star-studded Los Angeles to pursue her dream of acting. Currently starring in Tyler Perry’s “The Haves and the Have Nots,” she’s managed to gain a foothold in an industry that’s notoriously hard to break into. And no small part of that success is owed to her schooling, according to her. “St. Mary’s helped me reach the career path that I’m on now by providing me with a well-rounded curriculum,” said Nunez, who is also slated to appear in ABC’s “Secrets and Lies.” “The relationships that I was able to have with my teachers were unique to my St. Mary’s education. The teachers really cared—genuinely. About you as the student, but also— and arguably more importantly—about you as the individual.” While St. Mary’s may not supply the innate talent that’s required for performing, the school has proven capable of nurturing students that possess this gift. Perhaps this is why there are many other grateful alumni like Nunez.
jerry caruso ’73 says St. Mary’s helped him not only find his voice, but figure out how to put it good use as a comedian later in life. “St. Mary’s taught me self-discipline, good conduct, respect for others and to be a good person,” said Caruso, who has been telling jokes as a part-time vocation since 1973. “In my freshman and sophomore years, I was relatively quiet. Whereas in my junior and senior years, I began to release the comedian inside of me. In my senior year, let’s say I got to know my principal better than I wanted. If they gave out points for detention, a la frequent-flyer points, I’d be up there. St. Mary’s provided an education and a stage for me to perform.” VS

musicians
chris deluca ’13 is just kevin kennedy ’85 is no stranger to the music scene. He began his career as a student at St. Mary’s, where he recalls starring as a student in plays such as Grease and Solid Gold Christmas. After graduating, Kennedy went on to the Berklee College of Music where he continued to excel, starring in more shows. Now you can catch Kennedy and his band, Shuffle Mode, at local restaurants, including Palmers in Andover and Marblehead and Capone’s in Peabody. In April, Kennedy captivated his audience as he performed for St. Mary’s at Casino Night. He shares, “Having the opportunity to perform in shows at St. Mary’s really sparked my interest in pursuing a career in music.”

ryan boisselle ’86 has also found in niche in the music scene. Boisselle did not get his start in music until he was 20 years old, when he started taking guitar lessons. After taking nearly a decade away from music, Boisselle is back as the bass guitarist in a band called Lexington Steet. A Lynn native, Boisselle and his band named their band after the Lynn street on which they grew up. You can now catch Boisselle at the local restaurant scene including the Brickyard, Lazy Dog and the Red Rock Park Series. Advising current students on how to continue their music career, Boisselle said, “Pick an instrument, get some lessons but have fun. Do not be afraid to take the next step and follow your ambition.”
fall/winter 2015
beginning his music career as a music student at Salem State University, but do not let his relative youth mask his accomplishments. As a guitarist, DeLuca founded the Music Club at St. Mary’s in 2013. His band, Set the Nation, is only two years old but has already been signed to a record label and will be going on tour next summer. Anticipating an album release by the end of next summer, DeLuca reminisced about his time at St. Mary’s and tells current students to, “Do your best and take every opportunity you have. Your goals are attainable.” DeLuca cited Music Club moderator and physics teacher Steve Fabiszewski as a major influence of his music during his time at St. Mary’s. Fab, as he is called by students, studied music classically and trained in modern jazz before studying engineering in college. “Chris is a true gentleman who will be very successful with music. He has a deep and sincere passion for it. I sure miss having him and the other talented Music Club students around!” shared Fabiszewski.
dancers
Amanda Cosgrove ’09 Jade Cipolla ’08 started dancing at the age of two at Beverly Richards Dance Center in East Boston, owned by Mrs. Buckley who currently works at St. Mary’s. During her time at Salem State, Jade danced on the Salem State Dance Ensemble, and was also president of the organization. A year later, Jade was given the opportunity to be a featured performer for singer Weird Al Yankovic. Jade decided that she wanted to begin teaching dance classes, so she became certified by the Dance Teacher’s Club of Boston with The American Society and is now a board member. She now teaches at Beverly Richards Dance Center, with her favorite class being contemporary. Jade was even proposed to recently in that studio!
recalls that it was her aunt’s idea to sign up for dance class when she was 3 years old. She danced with St. Mary’s Dance Team her entire high school career. At Salem State, Amanda performed, as well as choreographed, through the Salem Dance Ensemble. Her choreography skills landed her the Presidential Arts Scholarship at Salem State University. Amanda says that, “being able to express myself, especially through choreography,” is her favorite thing about dance. She makes it clear that she really enjoys the creative aspect to dancing.
To showcase the art of writing in our Arts edition, Casey Walton ’16 was asked to profile some of our alumni dancers. Thanks Casey! Pictures of Jade and Amanda were taken by ANOTHER alumni artist: Raymond John LoPresti ’07 of RJL Photography!
Samantha Aucello ’14 said that she began playing soccer and dancing at just three years old, and soon discovered that dance was for her. In addition to thriving on the dance floor at Salem State, Samantha has also been making a name for herself in the classroom. Balancing her 15 hours of dancing a week, in addition to rigorous college courses can sound difficult to many, but Samantha has been able to handle it all. She says that she thinks she found the, “happy medium,” between dance and education, as she has made Dean’s List during both of her semesters, thus far. She graduated from the Dance Teacher’s Club of Boston’s Dance Education Training Course with the Lilla Francis Viles Award, which means that she had the highest overall average of her class. CW

image thanks to the ferrari family
the ferrari family’s affiliation with St. Mary’s started more than 65 years ago, when Martha Toomey enrolled in St. Mary’s Girls High School, graduating in 1953. She was one of nine children and they all went to St. Mary’s. Martha married Robert J. Ferrari, a Classical grad, and they had seven children, five of whom followed in the footsteps of their mother: Bob ’75, Dean ’78, Tim ’80, LeeAnn ’89 and Lori ’90. Paula and Julie became the green sheep of the family and became Classical Rams. Tim Ferrari married Lisa Leo, who did not go to St. Mary’s, but her father, Robert ’59, and her siblings, Robert Jr. ’78, Lori (Innis) ’86 and Michelle (Parker) ’92, did. Tim and Lisa have four children who are St. Mary’s graduates: Tim Jr. ’00, Amy (Garofalo) ’03, Katelyn ’04 and Kirsten ’11. Got it? “Coming from a large family, the core of our existence is family,” said Bob Ferrari, a 31-year Lynn police officer. “We went to St. Mary’s and met like-minded people. There is an amazing feeling that St. Mary’s is your extended family.” Bob said his family’s friendship with the Bastaraches was a key factor in his deciding to go to St. Mary’s. Ray Bastarache ’65 was the hockey coach. His brother, Don, asked Bob to consider St. Mary’s. “I had heard wonderful things about St. Mary’s from my mom and her family,” Bob said. “And knowing the quality of the Bastarache family, I had to go.” Tim said he, too, was attracted by the athletic program and the outstanding coaches at St. Mary’s. He played football for John Miller, hockey for Don Bastarache and baseball for Bob Guidi. “I had some great coaches,” said Tim, a Lynn police detective and 25-year veteran of the force. “We’re a hockey family. Bob and Dean had played there, and little did I know how much I was going to like St. Mary’s. I met a lot of lifelong friends there.”
LEGACY PROFILE
The Ferraris have remained closely connected to the St. Mary’s hockey program. Tim is a classmate of longtime boys varsity coach Mark Lee and the Ferraris annually present the Martha Ferrari Scholarship to a Spartan player who exhibits outstanding character. Tim was pleased when his children opted for St. Mary’s. “I wanted them to go there but I didn’t want to force them,” he said. “They made their own decision. Once our son went, the others followed suit.” Tim Jr. said his closest friends at St. Pius went in several different directions for high school—but none to St. Mary’s. “I almost went to St. John’s Prep,” he said. “I ended up at St. Mary’s because of the ties my family had. My dad always spoke so highly of St. Mary’s and he still maintains friendships he formed there.” Tim Jr., a teacher at Marshall Middle School who played basketball, baseball and football at St. Mary’s, said the smallschool atmosphere suited him well, especially coming out of a Catholic grammar school and junior high. “It was a welcoming environment and very comfortable,” he said. Tim Jr.’s St. Mary’s connections led to his first teaching job. After graduating from Fitchburg State with a degree in education, he landed a job at Savio Prep, working for Principal Jim McHugh, who had been vice principal at St. Mary’s when Tim was a student. With three older siblings having gone to St. Mary, it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that Kirsten would follow suit. “By the time I got there, I knew everything about St. Mary’s,” she said. “I had been involved since I was very little and I loved it. I always knew I would go there.” Kirsten, a 2015 Wheaton College graduate who is a special education teacher while studying for her master’s degree at Endicott College, said the family atmosphere also appealed to her. “St. Mary’s is a very family-oriented community,” said Kirsten, who played soccer and basketball. “The teachers make it a point to know who you are and they go out of their way to support you. I always felt welcome and safe there.” PKH Read other examples of #SpartanPride at stmaryslynn.com.
As the executive director of the Lynn Museum & Historical Society and LynnArts, Drew Russo ’99 is tasked with guiding two historic community organizations through a recently minted merger and ensuring that the union is a prosperous one with him at the helm. With such expectations, one might wonder how Russo is able to maintain his poise. But ask him and he’ll tell you. “You stand on the shoulders of others that paved the way for you,” he told. “I’ve stood on a lot of shoulders. And I always try to pass that down.” While his personality reveals a jovial and engaging demeanor that’s not nearly as stoic as the idioms he lives by, you’d be hardpressed to find someone who takes his position in the community more seriously. Russo clearly realizes that since taking the executive director position in May he’s been thrust headfirst into a Downtown Lynn community that’s diverse, evolving and potentially on the verge of a renaissance. For any of that to happen, Russo—and other stakeholders like him—will need to work tirelessly to make it so. And Russo believes that the education he received at St. Mary’s is part of the reason he’s ready for that challenge. “I meet St. Mary’s people all the time,” he explained. “The school has opened a lot of doors for me. This wouldn’t have happened without the time I spent there. It’s been a blessing to be a part of the St. Mary’s community.” Asked to count the number of titles he’s previously held, Russo would likely pause, furiously start calculating, and rattle off a number that’s seemingly incongruent with his relatively young age. Yet his latest role manages the impossible by allowing him to compile and apply the myriad skills he’s accumulated since graduating from St. Mary’s. It’s worth noting that Russo chose to stay close to his Catholic roots as an undergraduate, too, by attending St. Michaels College in Vermont for his degree. Remarking on his time there, Russo said he looks back on those four years fondly and appreciates the role St. Mary’s had in his decision to attend the college. Post-undergrad, Russo returned to St. Mary’s where a chance meeting at mass led to him taking an on-staff position at the school. As the assistant director of advancement and alumni relations, and later, the director of annual giving, he was able to reunite with staff that he once looked up, albeit in a much different capacity. “Everything ties back to the Catholic education I received at St. Mary’s,” explained Russo. “And not just as a student, but also when I came back and my mentors became my colleagues. It was interesting to engage with people I looked up to—and still do.” Six years later, he left St. Mary’s to become the fundraiser for former Mass. Congressman John Tierney’s office. Following an upset loss for Tierney, Russo was at a crossroads. “I was in a different position, because it was the first time I had to look for work,” he explained. “I had a diverse experience, and it was interesting to try to find a role that checked some of those boxes.” As if by fate, Russo landed the executive director role at the Lynn Museum and LynnArts, where he’s free to apply all that he knows, much of which he’ll admit St. Mary’s taught him.

While her pursuit of education and spirit of volunteerism have already taken her to another state and two foreign countries, Amanda Belair ’10 is very happy to have settled into a classroom at Drewicz Elementary School in Lynn where she is teaching third grade. “I knew I was going to study education,” said Belair, who will complete a master’s program at Wheelock College in December. She prepared for her current teaching assignment with an internship during the 2014-15 school year at the American International School in Greece, where she cotaught a first-grade class. “I loved it,” said Belair, who had already earned her teaching license as a Wheelock undergraduate. “It was a great learning experience to see what you need to do to open a school year. I knew I wanted my own classroom.” One of the reasons she chose Wheelock for her bachelor’s degree was the opportunity to have an internship as a freshman. As part of a Human Growth & Development course, she worked in Boston studying how children develop socially, emotionally, linguistically and cognitively. While at Wheelock, Belair took a service learning trip to New Orleans to help rebuild houses that had been destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. She liked it so much she went back three times. Belair took a similar trip to Northern Ireland, where she studied the impact of an anti-violence curriculum on early childhood education. “It was good to see what (teaching) techniques I could use back here,” she said. Belair said the roots of her affinity for service can be traced to St. Mary’s. “One of the best experiences I had was when I volunteered at Camp Sunshine,” she said, referring to the camp in Maine for children with life-threatening illnesses. “That really led me into all the volunteering I did in college.” Belair came to St. Mary’s as a seventh-grader, after attending Marshall Middle School and Hood elementary. She took honors classes and a variety of AP courses as a junior and senior. She played varsity lacrosse two years. “I met a lot of great friends through lacrosse,” she said. Belair, the daughter of James and Lisa and sister of Ashley Belair, a Framingham State University student, is back living in Lynn. She is the niece of Academic Registrar Linda Williams. Teaching full-time and getting her master’s take up most of her time, but she said she likes to read as much as possible. PKH Amanda is a Graduate of the Last Decade.

CLASS AGENT Class Agents serve as liaisons between the alumni in each class and the school. These volunteer alumni serve as a means to help enhance the overall St. Mary’s experience. The goal of the Class Agent program is to broaden the base of alumni participation in both fundraising and alumni activities.
Class Agents represent their class by providing leadership, philanthropic support, and time during their class reunion gift campaign (usually a one-year period) to help facilitate raising a Reunion Class Gift. Class Agent appointments are for life or as long as the Agent desires to continue his or her role and performs the duties that lead to successful fund raising campaigns. Class Agents may also be called upon to assist with special projects between reunion years.

Greetings, As a fellow Spartan let me begin by sharing how excited I am for the future of St. Mary’s! Since returning to the school I have been extremely encouraged by the amount of alumni who remain active within our community. I feel truly honored to have the opportunity to work with so many great alumni at the school my family has called home for more than 50 years. As the school continues to grow, so do the opportunities for alumni to become involved. This year we had some great events that we plan to build upon and continue in the future. The upcoming Alumni Homecoming Tailgate, Spartan Casino Night, Alumni Night at the Red Sox and our St. Mary’s Night at the Navs are just a few of the opportunities for you to come back and catch up with St. Mary’s. We have also launched a Class Agent program. This is a great opportunity for alumni to be representatives of their class and to make sure that their classmates are involved with our different events. I encourage you to sign up by contacting me at 781-586-2012 or joe.gill@stmaryslynn.com, or by mailing in the form on the left. If you are already a class agent, I encourage you to still reach out to me and introduce yourself. Any time throughout the year, you are invited to stop in and see us on campus. I would be glad to walk through the school and give you a tour of the building. I look forward to seeing you at some of our upcoming events and on behalf of the St. Mary’s community let me be the first to say, Welcome home! Joe Gill ’09

ttending the ‘Get Out The Vote’ rally at the Lynn YMCA in October 2014, Head of School Grace Cotter Regan was looking forward to seeing Rep. Seth Moulton and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. However, the highlight of the evening turned out to be a vocal performance by Amanda Mena ’21. “I was at the rally with alums Ed Calnan ’56 and Marge Callahan ’52, and once Amanda was done singing the three of us looked at each other and said, ‘She has to come to St. Mary’s.’ She was clearly a talented vocalist with amazing gifts, but she also had a beautiful presence that just glowed.” Audrey Jiminez, Executive Director of the Lynn YMCA, agrees. Audrey first met Amanda when she was just five years old. Amanda’s family, originally from the Dominican Republic, moved to Lynn where the Y was one of the first places the family went as the Mena family had a strong fitness background. Amanda started spending time at the YMCA after school while her parents worked at Fenway Park. She shares, “Audrey was always great to my family and always looked out for me.” Amanda always had a love for music, but under the tutelage of Lynn YMCA Music Studio Director Helder Tsinine, she stared to flourish. Each year at the end of summer, the Lynn Y works with Lynn Out Loud, a youth group dedicated to promoting the positive energies and talents of Lynn, to host a performance at Lynn Auditorium. “The first year Amanda sang, the whole room went silent. This is when you could see the doors to a new world for Amanda open up,” Audrey recalls. A year later, Amanda submitted her recording from the Y’s music studio to La Voz Kids, the toprated show on Telemundo produced by the U.S. hit show The Voice. “The next thing I knew, Amanda got
the call back and was heading to Florida for the live taping,” says Audrey. Amanda sang “Because of You” by Kelly Clarkson and was so into her performance that she was unaware of the impact it had. “I didn’t realize all of the coaches had turned their chairs around. It was one of the best moments of my life.” Amanda went on to win her season of La Voz Kids, signed with Universal Music and her first single “Alma Gemela” (Soul Mate), has ben released. Amanda is looking forward to releasing her next single and performing in Panama and Los Angeles in the next few months. Along this journey, Audrey has been right by her side, continuing that mentoring friendship that first began at the Y. “Helping Amanda is easier than I ever imagined it would be. Guiding her is very natural. She has that X-factor because she doesn’t change the person that she is.” Amanda began seventh grade at St. Mary’s this September, thanks to Audrey working closely with the school and the Mena family to find the right solution. Audrey, who began her career at American Airlines, is part of the St. Mary’s family herself. Audrey taught Spanish from 2001–06, served as a member of the Board of Trustees and is a parent of a 2008 graduate. “I was already thinking St. Mary’s would be the perfect fit for Amanda, so when Grace mentioned it to me, it was an easy decision.” Audrey helps Amanda stay grounded by focusing on her schoolwork as a first priority. Amanda concurs and says St. Mary’s also helps: “Everyone at St. Mary’s is so nice and kind, like a big family. I love my class and my teachers are very helpful. When I’m here, my mind feels open to more things.” The crossing of these paths across a few city blocks in Lynn has truly been remarkable. Grace says, “Hearing Amanda sing that night and seeing her relationship with Audrey was a natural bridge to her current status as a St. Mary’s student.” Amanda agrees that night at the rally was a wonderful moment, not only as the beginning of her start at St. Mary’s but her focus in life. “I felt super blessed at that moment and my parents were proud of me. I just love making my parents proud.” JG Learn more about Amanda, and hear her sing for yourself, online at AMANDAMENA.COM.

st. mary’s 2015 annual report of giving
thank you for your support On behalf of the administration, faculty, staff and Board of Trustees, I offer a sincere and heartfelt thank you for your continued support to ensure the success of St. Mary’s. This fiscal year was another successful year for our Office of Advancement. Your financial commitments to St. Mary’s help us continue to successfully provide a Catholic education to the students of Lynn and the surrounding communities leaving a lasting legacy for our beloved school. We have been blessed by your kindness and generosity, as we once again witnessed record-breaking alumni, faculty and staff, and parent participation rates. Our alumni involvement, both in giving and events, continues to grow. For fiscal year 2015 we raised $1,688,000 in Annual Fund support and our overall giving increased by two percent as alumni donations and participation continued to rise. This year we hosted more than 1,150 alumni, parents, and friends on campus to showcase our amazing students, school and mission. Thank you for investing in the future of our students and for supporting our efforts to encourage young men and women to reach their spiritual, intellectual, moral, physical and creative potential. We especially thank you for your generous gifts to the annual fund, which allow us to continue our mission and build upon our great Spartan Legacy. When I visit with alumni all across the country they often reminisce about their days in the Brickyard and attending St. Mary’s on this special City Block. Many stories result in the recollection of special individual at the school who made a monumental impression. This year we will be reminding folks to recognize those special individuals be it a faculty member, fellow alum, mentor or family member with a gift in honor of, or in memory of, to the annual fund. With these gifts we would love to hear the stories to pass along to the future generations. The stories may be different but those critical relationships are still what makes St. Mary’s so special to today’s students. With your support this school on a City Block will continue to change live of students for decades to come. It is generosity such as yours that keeps tuition affordable for our families through tuition assistance and allows us to successfully continue our mission. Thank you again for all you do to support St. Mary’s! Jen Pearce Director of Advancement and the Campaign for St. Mary’s
