EACH GIFT, EACH VOLUNTEER HOUR AND EACH PRAYER MAKES A TREMENDOUS AND IMMEDIATE DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF THE YOUNG WOMEN AT TMLA TODAY. S. Kathleen McKinney CSJ, Ed.D. - Principal

PRINCIPAL’S LETTER

Spring 2017 Dear Alumnae, Parents and Friends, I am happy to write to you again during The Mary Louis Academy’s 80th academic year! I am pleased to report that contributions to TMLA during the past year totaled over $800,000. We are so very grateful for your continued support. In addition, our freshwoman Class of 2020 shows an increase of 37% over the previous year. Mary Louis is alive and thriving! In this publication we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of TMLA’s founding with a look back at our history as well as the inspiring life of our founder, Mother Mary Louis; highlights on the 80th anniversary inductees into The Hall of Excellence and updates on the myriad ways in which Mary Louis women, of all generations, change the world. Your generosity over the 2015-2016 academic year has made possible a tremendous advancement in TMLA’s academic program! September of 2017 will see the launch of the newest facet to our curriculum; our young women will have the ability to pursue “majors” in Pre-Med, S.T.E.M., International Studies, Fine Art, Music or Physical Health & Wellness. These majors will result in the student receiving a TMLA diploma that bears her academic “major” designation. College applications and official transcripts will also bear this mark of distinction. Some of the significant improvements which took place on our campus over the past year have included the much needed construction of new brick and limestone staircases at the Edgerton Boulevard and Dalny Road entrances to our campus; pointing and reinforcement of the original brick retaining walls 4

surrounding the Senior Lawn; further construction work on our continued expansion into the former Convent building ; the addition of plantings and stained glass to our courtyard garden along with bistro tables and chairs which now allow our students to dine “al fresco” when weather permits. In addition TMLA is committed to remaining an integral part of the lives of our alumnae and your families. To this end we have instituted several new events and opportunities for our alumnae to become reacquainted and involved in the life of TMLA today. Since the summer of 2015 we have instituted a 3 day annual Homecoming weekend, bi-annual Alumnae Retreats at our beachfront villa in the Hamptons, new roles as Alumnae Ambassadors at TMLA’s Open Houses and recruitment events and the official launch of our Alumnae Mentoring Program. You can find information about all of these exciting new ventures in the pages of this magazine. Thank you for all that you do for The Mary Louis Academy, as you can see we are thriving due to your unfailing generosity and support. Each gift, each volunteer hour and each prayer makes a tremendous and immediate difference in the lives of the young women at TMLA today. Over the course of the past 80 years Mary Louis women and their families have truly changed the world…we cannot wait to see what you will do over the next 80 years! May God continue to bless you and your family. Sincerely,

S. Kathleen McKinney CSJ, Ed.D. Principal MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

KEY NOTE ADDRESS

– KATHERINE CHAN '04 FORBES: TOP 30 UNDER 30 Good morning. Sister Kathleen, members of the Board of Trustees, faculty, noble parents and, above all, the exquisite Class of 2016. I am so honored to be here. I have been following with great pride the amazing developments at Mary Louis. How the convent has been transformed into a robotics lab, how the list of college admittances grow more impressive with each year, and how through all that we have kept our core value of sisterly inclusiveness. Sister Kathleen invited me here several months ago. My phone rang and as soon as she said Katherine? I recognized her voice. And, amazingly, despite the twelve years that have expired since I was last a student, my first and only thought was: Shoot! Is my skirt too short? In seriousness, I have racked my brain and heart over these last few weeks to summarize what I wish I had known all those years ago. You are about to embark on the most transformative years of your life. Years that will see you take the raw materials you developed here at Mary Louis and build your place in the world. And to do so you will need information. My message for you is simple: Confidence, Kindness and Community. Confidence, Kindness and Community. Then off you go into the next great chapter of your life. Firstly, whatever you do, however many roads you travel, I urge you to do so with confidence. Confidence is the secret sauce to the life you want and the two simple steps to achieving it are through Kindness and Community. Confidence is the belief, built on a foundation of positive 10

“

MY MESSAGE FOR YOU IS SIMPLE: CONFIDENCE, KINDNESS AND COMMUNITY.

self-worth, that you have the ability to achieve the life you want. Few words have made such an impact, but “confidence,” confidence is responsible for much of the great disparity you will find as you join the world. Confidence, or the relative difference between female and male confidence, is responsible, in no small part – For the 65% pay gap between men and women that still exists in the world today • Linda Babcock, a professor of economics at Carnegie Mellon found in studies of business-school students that men initiate salary negotiations four times as often as women do, and that when women do negotiate, they ask for 30 percent less. Confidence is also responsible for the revelation that though men and women started graduating college in equal numbers in the late 70s, 40 years later women still make up less than 35% of the senior level management and 25% of corporate boards • Hewlett-Packard, the technology giant, in review of personnel records found that women applied for a promotion only when they believed they met 100 percent of the qualifications while men were happy to apply when they thought they could meet 60. Like all great societal problems, the causes of professional gender inequality are many – some are structural, some are cultural – but none is more self-inflicted than the lack of confidence. The good news is that you are already ahead of the game. You have no means of comparison, but, trust me, when I say that the last four years of your education, in an all-girls MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

environment, has given you an edge on many of your counterparts at co-ed institutions. But a head start is just that, a start. Confidence. A positive sense of self-worth is a lifelong project that takes active and constant effort. Do not play the deferral game with something so critical to your success. In 1978, there was a ground breaking study on “the imposter syndrome,” the phenomenon by which high achieving careerists, most often women, secretly believe, despite all external evidence to the contrary, that they are frauds. The names of women who have admitted to believing they are imposters would shock you: Sheryl Sandberg, Hillary Clinton, even Emma Watson, the actress behind the amazing Harry Potter character Hermione. The point is: Confidence does not just happen with time. Indeed, the imposter syndrome shows that confidence doesn’t even just happen with achievement. Confidence happens with painstaking effort toward a better perception of yourself, of your own value. When I left Mary Louis, I felt on top of the world. I had perfect grades, a best friend who was more like a sister, a one-way ticket to one of the best academic institutions in the world and a loving boyfriend who was joining me at college. I had what I thought was an immovable sense of self-worth. Shockingly, by middle of my first semester, not six months later, I was in shambles. I was struggling at even the most basic of classes at Harvard, my best friend was a nine-hour bus ride away in Montreal, my loving boyfriend had left me to “explore”, and I had an ever growing, debilitating suspicion that I was admitted to Harvard by mistake. In the three years that followed, I eventually clawed my way back toward academic success, made more best friends and fell in love with the new man who is still beside me today. But the wounds to my self-esteem from that first year took much longer to close. And I dare to say, I am still working to heal them today. So confidence is important and gaining it is an elusive process. But there are methods and those methods are rooted in Kindness and Community. Method 1: Kindness. As recipients of a Catholic education, you are all aware of your mandate to be kind to others. Today, I urge you, for the sake of your self-confidence, to be kind to yourselves. Demeaning self-talk is a key culprit in a losing battle for self-confidence. “The Confidence Gap,” a 2014 story in The Atlantic, highlighted this in a study around a particularly difficult course in Cornell’s math Ph.D. program. Psychologist David Dunning observed that as the course work intensified, male students would respond to their lower grades by saying, “Wow, this is a tough class” whereas female students were much more likely to respond with “You see, I knew I wasn’t good enough.” Do you notice this phenomenon in your own lives? When you MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

do well on a test, do you attribute that success to circumstance? Oh, that was a really easy test. But, when you do poorly, do you ascribe the setback to yourself ? What’s wrong with me, why don’t I get this? That is verbal self-assassination! Every word counts when you are building the vocabulary of your own internal dialogue. Whether you are choosing to tackle a new major or try a new sport, the conversation you have with yourself on your abilities, every hour of every day, will have a substantive impact on your sense of self-worth. I would be remiss in this plea for self-kindness if I did not expose what I remember to be the key punching bag for my own negative self-talk. My body. To the graduating class I ask that you grow an awareness of the language with which you discuss your bodies. This is particularly important at your age when your bodies are new and your perceptions of it still fresh and forming. What is important to your development of confidence is not what your body looks like but what you perceive it looks like. For reasons you should not ask, I recently found myself in a room full of supermodels. After a few hours, I was amazed to find that they too shared the same conversations with their friends as I do, agonizing over the size of their hips or flabbiness of their arms. It made no difference to them that their bodies were literally the emblem on which society had built the standard of beauty. In their perception, their bodies were still unacceptable. It is not about the reality; it is about the perception. Your body is a vehicle for your mind, and therefore your primary mode of transportation from here to your unbelievably golden future. So develop your perception of your body with a mindset of cherishment. Listen to old women like me, when we tell you your body is beautiful and your own - to do with it what you please.

THE POINT IS: CONFIDENCE DOES NOT JUST HAPPEN WITH TIME. INDEED, THE IMPOSTER SYNDROME SHOWS THAT CONFIDENCE DOESN’T EVEN JUST HAPPEN WITH ACHIEVEMENT. CONFIDENCE HAPPENS WITH PAINSTAKING EFFORT TOWARD A BETTER PERCEPTION OF YOURSELF, OF YOUR OWN VALUE. 11

As much as it disheartens me to report this, as a woman, much of what you do, who you become, the environment in which you will rise to the top, will be placed in the context of your body.

The single greatest privilege of being an adult is that you get to choose the people with whom you associate. You get to build your own community and fill it with only people who benefit your search for the life you want.

Your value will be judged, often unfairly, on the clothing you choose, the sway of your walk, the timing of your first pregnancy.

The first part of community building is intuitive and filled with people who know you, who guide you, who speak your language. This is your platform of unconditional support. Everyone stumbles in their reach for self-worth, but those with a support system will find it far easier to stand up and try again.

It will shock you when after completing five rounds of job interviews and proving your indisputable qualifications, you are rejected for a role because the employer is worried you may run off and get pregnant. It will shock you when you finally become the boss, call a meeting and have an ill-informed new member of the team hand you their coat to hang because they assume, because you are the only woman, that you, therefore, must be the assistant. I know because it shocked me. What I want you to take away today is not that these sad things will not happen, but that you ought to have a sound enough image of your own body and self-worth, that when these things do happen, they do not break you and derail you from the life you want. That is building confidence through Kindness. Method 2: Community. As I’ve emphasized above, confidence building is a life-long process and with all such journeys, there will be failure. There may even be horrific failures. That is only to be expected. To help, I urge you to build a community. Not only will a well-built community support you, indeed the process of building one, if done properly will itself build confidence.

KNOW THOUGH THAT IT IS HERE AT MARY LOUIS THAT YOU LEARNED THE FOUNDATIONS OF YOUR SELF-WORTH, HERE THAT YOU WERE ENCOURAGED TO REACH FEARLESSLY FOR THE LIFE YOU WANT. HERE AND WITH EACH OTHER. TOGETHER.

What is less obvious is that your community should have a second layer of people called “weak ties.” Weak ties are relationships formed with those people who, for some reason or another, never become particularly close. Weak ties don’t love you or support unconditionally, instead their great value to your journey is to challenge you and force you out of your comfort zone. Weak ties force you to communicate from a place of difference, to explain what you want or don’t want fulsomely to people who don’t speak your language and this forces thoughtful growth through introspection. This forces a more, well-reasoned path to self-awareness and confidence. The final, most difficult but also most fruitful part of building your community is recognizing when to let go. Have the self-awareness and honesty to know the difference between those in your life who challenge you to be better and those who are toxic. Leaving people, even leaving terrible people, requires a great force of will but you will have a clearer sense of self-worth when you learn that you get to choose the terms of your own engagements. That is Confidence through Community. After today, you will start new lives, ones that will take you further from each other and here than you can possibly imagine. Great distances - whether measured in time, geography, class or philosophy – may come between you and those you sit closest to now. Know though that it is here at Mary Louis that you learned the foundations of your self-worth, here that you were encouraged to reach fearlessly for the life you want. Here and with each other. Together. Then know that for the last 80 years, bright amazing women have sat in these same chairs, graduating from The Mary Louis Academy and that collective stands ready to see you shine. Build yourself up and know that if you ever need a hand – whether for support or for applause –you can call upon us. Thank you.

VALEDICTORIAN’S ADDRESS

– CLAIRE HOURIHANE ‘16

“

SOME TEXTBOOKS WILL HAVE TO BE REWRITTEN TO ACCOMMODATE THE HISTORY THAT WE MAKE.

CLAIRE IS CURRENTLY STUDYING ACTUARIAL SCIENCE AT ST. JOSEPH'S UNIVERSITY IN PHILADELPHIA ON A PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP Good Morning Mrs. Jeanne Brostek Altenau, Sister Kathleen McKinney, Mrs. Ann Cordes, Mrs. Grace Scozzaro-Patchett, Ms. Jacqueline Kovach, Ms. Katherine Chan, members of the faculty, family, friends and Class of 2016. It’s hard to believe that we are here today saying goodbye to everything we have come to love in these past four years. Yet, at the same time we are welcoming our futures and everything those futures hold. Last year on our ring day we sang about all the ways in which we could be heroes. As I look around, I see the potential in every single one of us to be heroes, and I realize that heroes don’t always wear capes; sometimes they wear caps and gowns. There are countless definitions of a hero, but someone whom I think we should take time to admire for her tireless efforts is Eleanor Roosevelt. She was outspoken when it came to human rights, children’s causes, and women’s issues. She even used the media to convey her opinions to the world through her own newspaper column. I hope that each one of us will speak up for the things we believe in, even if we are met with some critics along the way. We must strive to be like Eleanor Roosevelt by caring for the marginalized of society. As the book of proverbs says “Speak up for those who have no voice.” Just as we have in these past four years, as we move forward we must continue to provide service to those who need it. Some people may dislike Eleanor Roosevelt, but no one can dispute the positive results achieved by her actions. A quote from Mrs. Roosevelt that speaks to me, and judging from the senior quotes in the yearbook speaks to many of you is, “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” As we move forward in life, I think it is important to reflect on our dreams. Some of us dream of designing a MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

skyscraper, while others dream of having an office in one. Either way, we have to believe in our ideas and our abilities, and then work to make these dreams become a reality. Even if the going gets tough we cannot give up our dreams. If we have 3 papers due in one day, and it pains us to not put a T in front of the MLA format the professor asks for, we will think of this gem of a quote and remember that the future belongs to those who do not give up. We must believe in our dreams because we are the future, and hopefully someday someone will say that her hero is a member of the Class of 2016. This class is going to work to make the world a better place, and some textbooks will have to be rewritten to accommodate the history that we make. Becoming the heroes we want to be will be a journey, but I know that Mary Louis has prepared all of us well. I would like to thank all of the teachers who have shared their wisdom and knowledge with us, the administration who have made our education possible, and the staff for their relentless efforts day in and day out to provide us with a welcoming atmosphere. We also take time to appreciate our families for supporting us, friends for being there for us, and all of the alumnae like my mother and grandmother who have paved the way for future Mary Louis graduates. So, on behalf of the class of 2016, I’d like to paraphrase about 10,000 actors, directors, and producers when I say “I’d like to thank the Academy.”

WE HAVE TO BELIEVE IN OUR IDEAS AND OUR ABILITIES, AND THEN WORK TO MAKE THESE DREAMS BECOME A REALITY. 13

SCHOLARSHIPS

THE EBERHART SCHOLARSHIP Nora Eberhardt Quigley, TMLA Class of 1946, has always credited The Mary Louis Academy with all of her success as a life-long educator. Nora made the decision to help ensure that countless young

women will be able to enjoy the same benefits that have served her so well for over 75 years! In 2011 Nora endowed the August & Nora Eberhardt

Memorial Scholarship, in memory of her parents. In so doing Nora helped ensure that her parents’

names would live on in TMLA’s incredible legacy of empowering young women through education. The first recipient of the Eberhardt Scholarship was Shannon O’Hanlon, TMLA Class of 2016.

NORA MADE THE DECISION TO HELP ENSURE THAT COUNTLESS YOUNG WOMEN WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE SAME BENEFITS THAT HAVE SERVED HER SO WELL FOR OVER 75 YEARS!

Shannon is also a TMLA Legacy Graduate as the

daughter of Michele Murray O’Hanlon ’81. During

the past four years Nora & Shannon stayed in touch via letters, cards and personal meetings, it was only fitting then that Nora helped Shannon celebrate her big day. On June 5, 2016, when Shannon

walked down the aisle at our 76th Commencement Excercises. Nora was there to welcome her into the TMLA Alumnae Family. Congratulations

Shannon, we know you will go far! Thank you Nora for helping to ensure that both your parents’ legacy and The Mary Louis Academy’s mission continue on for generations to come.

WEST POINT

Yuka Lin ’16 pictured during a visit to West Point from her elementary school principal & sister TMLA alumna Anne Hilbert Zuschlag ’82 Principal of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Academy.

The Mary Louis Academy is proud to announce that, after completing an arduous application process, Yuka Lin, TMLA Class of 2016, was accepted to the United States Military Academy. The USMA, better known as West Point, is perhaps one of the best and most prestigious military academies in the world and has been ranked by FORBES as the #1 college in the United States. That reputation isn’t taken lightly. The process for admittance to one of the U.S. military academies is extremely difficult to navigate: Students must be nominated for consideration by the President, the Vice President, a U.S. Congressional Representative or a U.S. Senator. There is also a strict honor code, and students are expected to not only excel academically, but build leadership and athletic skills. From the 15,000 applications that West Point receives annually from across the globe, only 8% are selected to attend. The mission of West Point states in part “each graduate is a leader of character committed to the values of Duty, Honor, Country and prepared for a career of professional excellence and service” … few words could better describe a Mary Louis woman. Congratulations Yuka, we’re so very proud of you.

TMLA WELCOMES BACK ONE OF “OUR GIRLS” TO THE ALUMNAE OFFICE!

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

TMLA is happy to welcome back Elizabeth McGlinchey Whalen ’03! Liz has joined TMLA’s Office of Advancement & Alumnae Relations as Assistant Director for Special Projects & Communications. Prior to returning to Mary Louis Liz worked at the Alley Pond Environmental Center for over 10 years where some of her responsibilities included training new staff members, recruitment and registration of new membership, day to day

coordination of fundraising operations and management of APEC’s annual “Green Gala” dinner-dance. We are grateful to have Liz’s vast expertise and enthusiasm back on “the hill”! In her down time Liz sings with Molloy College’s (her alma mater!) acapella group “Major Treble” and enjoys knitting, sewing, baking and spending time with her husband Jim and 2 year old daughter Amber. Liz is very much looking forward to connecting with all of her TMLA “sisters.”

Legacy Graduates: TMLA A FAMILY TRADITION! THOSE GRADUATES WHOSE MOTHERS OR GRANDMOTHERS HAVE ALSO GRADUATED FROM TMLA ARE KNOWN AS "LEGACY GRADUATES". THE CLASS OF 2016 HAD AN UNPRECEDENTED TOTAL OF 15 LEGACY FAMILIES. Christine Zender Arundel

2015-2016 Academic Year The spiritual theme of the 2015-2016 academic year was “Women of Dignity: Unwrapping the Presence of God in Our Lives”. Throughout the year, all of our spiritual life initiatives sought to highlight our school’s mission while remembering that we are all on this faith journey together. This past year saw the continuing of many spiritual programs including our Selah community, First Friday Masses, and Academy-wide celebrations of Mass multiple times throughout the year. Our liturgies were met with great enthusiasm and joy as we came together as one sacred community in prayer and worship. TMLA has a vibrant Liturgical Ministry. As a Catholic Academy, we celebrate Mass daily and encourage our students to get involved in various ministries. The young women of TMLA serve our liturgical ministries by assisting in orchestrating Mass, participating as lectors, altar servers, gift bearers, musicians and ministers of hospitality. This past academic year, 17 students were installed as Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion. They will now serve our community and their parishes as well.

We completed the fifth year of our Sacrament Seekers program. Throughout the year, five of our young women were catechized by TMLA’s Campus Minister, Chairperson of the Department of Religious Studies and other members of the TMLA community including past Sacrament Seekers and faculty members. This program enables our students to grow in faith and in community as they prepare for the various Sacraments of Initiation. The program culminated in the spring of 2016, when our candidates received the Sacrament of Confirmation. We are blessed to welcome them into our community of faith. In October, we had our first ever “CSJ Faculty Retreat” at the Sisters of St. Joseph’s beautiful villa in the Hamptons. This was a lovely opportunity for faculty members from all our CSJ “sister schools” to gather together for two days to learn more about our CSJ mission and our roles as educators in executing that mission. It was a great experience and a wonderful new tradition for all of our CSJ schools.

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

In November, we held a school-wide toy drive for the children residing at Providence House, a program for homeless women and children founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph. The participation from our students was incredible, and they certainly helped to make a much more enjoyable holiday season for many young girls and boys. The CSJ Leaders Club combined spirituality with service in many different ways. CSJ Leaders were an integral part of our school’s newly combined “Mission and Spirit Week”, providing various activities for their classmates that highlighted our CSJ mission. In addition, the CSJ Leaders Club offered many opportunities for retreat, including our annual CSJ Overnight at the Motherhouse in Brentwood. Students from each of the six CSJ schools joined together in prayer, meditation, and companionship while exploring the elements of our mission and how it relates to each of us, with a special focus on the Maxims. In March, we also had our annual Reconciliation Day. This is a beautiful day where our students invite priests from their local parishes to come to TMLA and minister the Sacrament of Penance to those who wish to receive. It is a great opportunity for our students to repent and reflect on themselves before Easter. We also had a Holy Week Prayer Service for our students. During this prayer service, students listened to various Bible passages and student reflections. Our new student-led musical group, “God’s Gals” provided some music to help their classmates to reflect on the life and death of Jesus Christ. The prayer service also included a meditation which asked the students to place themselves in the position of St. Peter, and the choices and feelings he faced as his relationship with Jesus was publicly revealed.

Graduation Mass was once again a lovely and faith-filled send off for our beloved seniors. This Mass is a great celebration of all the accomplishments of our students during their journey at TMLA. It is a wonderful gathering and a reminder that no matter where our students go, they can always take their TMLA experiences of love, unity, and reconciliation, with them.

THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, ALL OF OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE INITIATIVES SOUGHT TO HIGHLIGHT OUR SCHOOL’S MISSION WHILE REMEMBERING THAT WE ARE ALL ON THIS FAITH JOURNEY TOGETHER.

We started our first ever TMLA Alumnae Retreat at the villa in the Hamptons. This retreat was a huge success, and allowed our alumnae some time to relax, reflect, and revive their spiritual lives through witness talks, activities, sunrise yoga and prayer. The Alumnae Retreat has now become a bi-annual event! This year, we also established a Liturgical Committee of Students, who served as active leaders in the coordination of Mass, retreats, and service projects. They have been a vital part of our faith community and in spreading the message of Christ to their classmates. We introduced a new format to our retreat program at TMLA, taking each grade out to our Motherhouse in Brentwood to engage in a full-class retreat with a theme that focused on the major topics of that particular year. Faculty members presented witness talks that spoke to the theme of the class, and allowed students to engage with their faculty in a new light. We also started our very first student retreat leader group. A wonderful group of twenty seniors trained together to learn how to become retreat leaders for each of the different grade levels. They did a great job learning, leading, and sharing.

I just wanted to share some news and thank The Mary Louis Academy. Due to the wonderful education I received at TMLA, I was so prepared for college and therefore, I was able to excel to great lengths. I just graduated Alfred University with a degree in Business Administration as well as minors in Marketing, Sports Management, and Political Science. In addition to this, I was able to balance playing softball for 4 years and thus was a Scholar Athlete. I would not have been so successful without the foundation I gained at The Mary Louis Academy. I graduated as valedictorian of my school and just wanted to share this news. Thank you for all you have done for me!! - Julie Canova ‘12

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

THANK YOU TO OUR SUSTAINER DONORS 2015-2016 Have you ever not made a gift to TMLA because you felt it would be “too small” to make a difference? Have you ever wanted to make a larger gift but it’s just too much to do at one time? Have you ever intended to make your gift to TMLA but simply forgot to send it in? You might be interested in our Sustainer Donor program. When you become a Sustainer Donor you provide TMLA with your credit or debit card information and authorize us to deduct an amount of your choosing each month.

In this way some alumnae have found that by having $10 a month automatically deducted turned into a yearly gift of $120. Having $100 a month deducted turns into a yearly gift of $1,200…13% of a full year’s tuition! This unique form of generosity also helps to provide TMLA with a continual stream of revenue we can rely on when planning and implementing new advancements and programs! Thank you to the following sustainer donors: T. Elaine Adamson '54 Barbara A. Casazza '72 Analucia Castillo-Cano '08 Melissa Cole Curtis '93 Joan Parsons Fries '48 Mary Reheuser Frohnhofer '55 Carmel A. Furtado '75

Anne F. Katz '00 Mary Jane Coyne McClintock '48 Joan M. McEntee '65 Laurie Lucas Meniel '01 Vivian Zucchelli Mirza '64 Johanna M. Peiser '07 Therese M. Postel '06

Kathleen L. Rickard '87 Denise A. Romanello P '08 Kathleen Battiato Sama '04 Tamara Stephen, JD '88 Adria E. Velazquez '74 Sue Anne Hornicek Vogelsberg '72

If you are interested in becoming a Sustainer Donor, please contact Judy Belon at: 718-297-2120 x252 or at jbelon@tmla.org

“

I CHOSE TO BECOME A SUSTAINER DONOR BECAUSE AS A RELATIVELY YOUNG PROFESSIONAL I HAVEN'T YET MADE THE BIG BUCKS TO DONATE ENOUGH FOR MY OWN WING! BUT IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, TMLA HAS BEEN A CONSTANT IN MY LIFE FOR OVER 15 YEARS AND I KNOW IT ALWAYS WILL BE. A SMALL MONTHLY DONATION IS JUST A TINY ILLUSTRATION OF MY GRATITUDE FOR EVERYTHING MARY LOUIS HAS ALREADY GIVEN TO ME. -KATHLEEN BATTIATO SAMA '04

AMARE CIRCLE 2015-2016 THE AMARE CIRCLE RECOGNIZES GENEROUS GIFTS MADE TO TMLA BY SPOUSES OF DECEASED TMLA ALUMNAE.

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

THANK YOU TO OUR SISTERS

“

“The touch of their religious zeal, their devotion to Catholic education, their splendid

character and ladylike culture is to be found in many aspects of our schools. They take up

“

their duties with the flush of youth, they hold to them to the very end of their lives. It is a service of the heart that cannot be measured in terms of money. Out in the vastness

of secular life they would command much attention and high salaries. It is our striking privilege that they have pledged themselves to consecrated lives and pass long years in the various pursuits of education, charity and the empowerment of young women for which we reap such fame.”

THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH, WHO THROUGH THEIR CONTRIBUTED SERVICE ENABLED TMLA TO DEFRAY THE COST OF OVER $1,000,000 IN SALARIES AND BENEFITS DURING THE 2015-2016 ACADEMIC YEAR.

Statue of St. Joseph and the Child Jesus located in TMLA’s Chapel. This statue was originally donated to the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1876 to grace the chapel of St. Malachy’s Orphanage in Brooklyn. In 1892 Mother Mary Louis moved the orphanage to property she purchased in Rockaway Park, NY and renamed it St. Malachy’s Ocean Home (this later became the site of Stella Maris High School). A fire in 1929 swept through the orphanage, destroying much of the structure, but leaving the chapel and its contents unscathed. In 1937 the former furnishings of St. Malachy’s Chapel, including this statue, found a new home in the newly constructed Chapel at The Mary Louis Academy. 51

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

REMOVING BARRIERS AND FORGING OPPORTUNITY SISTER MARY FEBRONIA Dear Sister Kathleen, I received your letter asking for a donation to the TMLA scholarship fund. To that end, I am enclosing a modest donation. I must admit that in the past I have routinely discarded the requests for personal reasons, but I felt compelled to open this one. I felt a sense of pride for the 202 new young women that entered our TMLA alumnae ranks. TMLA certainly did empower me to have self-respect and awareness for others and a sense of responsibility to society. I received a FIRST class education and have remained a force of change in “my world.” I have been an advocate of young women through my volunteer work in all aspects of the Girl Scouts of America, having had the privilege to serve on the Board of DirectorsNassau County Girl Scouts. TMLA would have been proud as I made educational decisions for thousands of students, male and female, as President of the Board of Education in Rockville Centre, New York. Today, I continue to serve my world as a volunteer counselor with SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) in Manatee County, Florida. I am sure that I would never have achieved all this were it not for the self-confidence instilled in me by TMLA! A first generation child of Italian immigrants whose second language was English, God gave me a thirst for knowledge and good grades. I was admitted into the class of 1967 in September 1963. The TMLA scholarship fund in 1963 did not yet exist. I came from a single parent home. My mom worked in a candy factory. My dad had promised to pay the $350/year tuition; but after the first installment refused to continue the payments. Enter one of the angels that influenced my life – Sister Mary Febronia, my math teacher for 4 years and my freshman home room teacher. She was given the task to tell me that if my dad refused to pay I would have to leave. No scholarships were available. When I told her that dad said that $350 a year was too much to WASTE on a girl’s education she went directly to Sister Anna Letitia the Principal. Together they concocted their own scholarship. I was to work in the school store in the mornings—which really was a storage room off of the locker room selling rulers, pencils and of all things TMLA book

covers, which had to be used on all books. In the afternoon and during study periods, which were few and far between, I would go to the small room at the right off the entrance and assist the registrar. I was taught how to use this massive machine called the Key Punch machine, a forerunner of technology. I would produce key punch cards for every student with their information. Then when the schedules would be made we “punched again” to produce the class lists. How I hated when the girls would come and change their classes. I worked in that small room on a LOUD and overbearing piece of machinery and was happy and grateful that a scholarship was found for me. You mentioned that 100% of your graduates are off to college. I am sure that I skewed 1967 graduation statistics. I was too poor to go to college. Sr. Mary Febronia, again came to my aid and called a friend of hers at Mercy Hospital and I was interviewed for the School of Radiography. Because of her acts of kindness and mentoring I became the woman I am today with 2 strong bright, compassionate daughters. Because of Sr. Mary Febronia’s faith in me, because of my education at TMLA, my proudest gift to “my world” is that I participate and donate to a wonderful program called Take Stock in Children in Florida. I have mentored a girl from 7th grade and she has just completed her first year at the University of Central Florida in Orlando! Thank you for allowing me to tell my personal scholarship story. If you know Sister Mary Febronia…and if she is still alive…please forward her a copy of this letter. And if Sister Rita Gerard is still with us, tell her that I still have nightmares of not being able to conjugate those Latin verbs! May God bless you and guide your decisions for the next generation of Mary Louis girls. Sincerely, Assunta “Sue” Gaglione LaMastro ‘67

Editor’s Note* Sister Mary Febronia is indeed alive and well and residing in Brooklyn, NY where she loves to hear from her former students. Sister Febronia is most especially proud of her years at TMLA because she is a Mary Louis girl herself.. graduating as Mary Lou Loewenstein in the Class of 1948! MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

SISTER MARY LOU RECEIVES FOUNDERS AWARD Congratulations to one of “our girls”, Sister Mary Louise Buser CSJ TMLA Class of 1953 - on being honored by the Diocese of Rockville Centre Vicars for Religious and Founders Day Awards. Sister Mary Lou received her Founders Award for her life’s work focused on healing, particularly her healing of the earth. Mary Lou’s life path has been extremely diverse with three successive careers! Mary Lou earned her BA in Biology from St. Joseph’s College and began her first career as a biology teacher, earning her MS in Biology from the University of the South. After more than 10 years in the classroom Sister Mary Lou felt the call to be a more “hands on” practitioner of science…which led to her receiving her certification from Columbia University as a physical therapist! Mary Lou enjoyed a long and satisfying career as a physical therapist and, in “retirement”, she has launched her third career… as an organic gardener on the grounds of the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Motherhouse in Brentwood. Through her tireless efforts to help the world around her and her constant “reinvention” of herself Sister Mary Lou truly stands as an inspiration to Mary Louis women everywhere! We’re so proud of you Mary Lou (and what a perfect name for a TMLA girl!)

IN HONOR OF SISTER KATHLEEN

In 1971 a young Sister of St. Joseph, fresh out of St. Joseph’s College, walked through the doors of The Mary Louis Academy and into the hearts of what would turn out to be THOUSANDS of people. Sister Kathleen’s influence can still be seen prominently in the women who she has spent 45 years helping to empower to become doctors, nurses and scientists discovering break through cures for the world’s worst diseases; Judges, attorneys and law enforcement officers dispensing justice; military service members fighting to keep us safe; educators on all levels dispensing knowledge in a way they most likely learned from her; businesswomen opening the doors for all who come behind them; nurturing their 62

families…caring for the dear neighbor…and being Christ’s light in the world. On that auspicious day in September 1971 young “Sister Kate” had no idea of the impact she was about to make…She has truly lived up to her mantra “Nothing is too good for my girls”. The year 2016 marked several momentous occasions for Sister Kathleen …her Jubilee as a Sister of St. Joseph, 45 years since she first became a member of the TMLA Family, and the 80th Anniversary of TMLA’s founding. This year also marks Sister Kathleen’s 20th year as Principal of TMLA…our longest serving Principal to date. When Sister Kathleen first stepped into the role of Principal she was taking the helm of a truly excellent school and was fortunate to be building upon the stellar work of her predecessors; Sister Mary Angelica, Sister Augustine Maria, Sister Mary Borgia, Sister Anna

Thank you Sister Kathleen for your leadership….Thank you for your guidance….Thank you for your devotion and your love for TMLA. To show just a fraction of the appreciation which ALL of the TMLA Family feel for her, over $130,000 was donated to erect the Sister Kathleen McKinney Garden on TMLA’s campus. This beautiful courtyard garden, inspired by the famous cloister gardens of Europe, is a mixture of carefully chosen plantings, pathways, benches and stained glass providing a place of peace and solace for our students in the midst of our campus.

MEMORIES FROM 1936

S. Helen Gallagher

Blessings to All! Remember me? Hardly! I am from the Class of 1940 and was one of the first students enrolled in TMLA. I recall the building was not quite finished so we had classes in the Music Room for their first semester. Those were the Depression days when I entered TMLA. My father took me to see the Superior, explaining that we could not afford $20 a month in tuition. So the dear Sister agreed to $15! God bless her! Much later, my dear mother repaid the remainder to S. Francis Geronimo. My favorite teachers were S. Apollonia (I idolized her!) and S. Agnes Immaculate who taught me violin. I received the Math Honors at graduation - the fruit of my dear father's labors. He trained me in the multiplication tables constantly - God bless and reward him! I have a snapshot of S. Apollonia one day when we all went to Brentwood wearing our own clothes and saddle shoes. Many years later S. Apollonia and S. Agnes Immaculate came to visit me in cloister, just after we had removed the double grille in the parlor of the Monastery. It was a really great four years at TMLA as our class grew to 16 pupils. Betty Jane Kelley, S. Nora Hillery CSJ and Dorothy Sullivan were my best friends and years later when some dear Pope loosened the rigid laws of cloister, I was able to travel to NYC with my classmate S. Mary Crilly CSJ '40 and saw more of the city than we had when we were teenagers. I am now a healthy 94 (I can hardly believe that one!), especially as Thera-Care, Inc. sends me LPNs twice a week and supplies me with a zillion pills that keep me going- as Cardinal Merry del Val said when swallowing his medication, "I guess this one knows where to go!" Of course I go horizontal after lunch each day, which helps! By Rule we in the Monastery are obligated to two hours of personal prayer daily, so sometimes I go horizontal at that point! 68

After all these years I have many experiences to tell - a trip to the Philippines to see how the Sisters there were doing (a point of our Rule), also a trip to Rome… another long story.

After all these years I have many experiences to tell - a trip to the Philippines to see how the Sisters there were doing (a point of our Rule), also a trip to Rome… another long story. The Generalate called each Monastery to send two Sisters in order to update the Rule, which surely needed it. So we decided to go early, to see Rome - having no idea how to accomplish that one! Well, Providence care of Holy Innocents, in the form of a Passionist Priest, Fr. Barnabae Ahern CP, who came to our table each morning and told us how to get to St. John Lateran Basilica, St. Mary Major, a Benedictine abbey and also the Pope in St. Peter's. Finally on to Lucca, the monastery there, where they had lovely rooms and a daily meeting facilitated by five priests who spoke Italian, French and English. Many, many years ago I drove up to some place in NY State with another Sister and made a workshop on "Centering Prayer." At that time I never realized what a gem Centering Prayer would become for me. I find it to be a real grace. Because I have had Macular Degeneration for many years, I cannot read and so have a closed circuit TV which enlarges print. Also a Marcel watch which has buttons. Press one and it tells the time, another button tells the complete date…modern miracles! No, I don’t have an iPad, nor do I plan to purchase one! In closing, I assure you all of my prayers and trust that you will pray for me too. Love you all at TMLA!

JEANNE BROSTEK ALTENAU CLASS OF 1975 Broadview, one of her many responsibilities is Corporate Revenue analysis, and her TMLA Math Club skills come in handy!

Most of Jeanne’s very best friends today – 40+ years after graduation – are women she met at TMLA. She has so many fond memories (Glee Club, Math Club, Mariel, the December Senior Prom at Hotel Pierre, London, Disney World, and her younger sister Carol ’78!) All the faculty and staff were instrumental in Jeanne’s development, particularly Sr. Kathleen McKinney who, like Jeanne, entered TMLA in the fall of 1971. Jeanne was a student in Sr. Kathleen’s very first Homeroom at Mary Louis. The self-confidence gained at Mary Louis allowed Jeanne to pursue higher education at two schools that were maledominated at the time. She earned a BS from Manhattan College with a dual major in Marketing and Computer Information Systems, and later earned an MBA from Harvard Business School. Jeanne’s entire career has been in the telecommunications industry. Her career began in a Management Development Program at New York Telephone, where she progressed into positions of increasing responsibility. In the mid 90s, she became Vice President of Switched Services for Teleport Communications, where she developed an entirely new Line of Business. Currently, she is Senior Vice-President for Broadview Networks, a leading voice and data communications provider. At

SISTER GRACE AVILA SECKENDORF CSJ TMLA FACULTY In September of 1970 Sister Grace Avila joined The Mary Louis Academy faculty….thus began her legendary career as a member of our TMLA family. Sister Grace’s introduction to TMLA came after she had served in the English Department of St. Angela Hall Academy in Brooklyn and as moderator of their Yearbook. Preparation for these challenges came from her study at our “sister school” the Academy of St. Joseph in Brentwood followed by St. Joseph’s College where she earned a B.A. in English and from St. John’s University where she earned an M.A.in English. Over the years Sister Grace added to these studies with many postgraduate courses. For eleven years Sister Grace served as Chairperson of TMLA’s Department of English, during this time she also served as a Trustee of another “sister school”, Bishop Kearney High School in Brooklyn, NY. The ever expanding curriculum at TMLA offered Sister Grace opportunities to explore and expand students’ interests in literature and media and film study. Extracurricular activities enabled her to work with many talented and creative young women as moderator of Mariel and then when she became the moderator/producer of TMLA’s Video yearbook, a project that still engages her today. When TMLA began its own website, Sister Grace joined her colleagues in producing the school’s website, tmla.org. Together they continue efforts to keep our website current with the evolving story of TMLA today.

Technology. This department extends her interest in media and in the constantly growing digital world that has become an important part of education. DURING HER TIME AT TMLA, SISTER GRACE HAS APPRECIATED THE SUPPORT OF ADMINISTRATION, THE COLLEGIAL SPIRIT OF FACULTY, AS WELL AS THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF THE EDUCATION OF SO MANY FINE YOUNG WOMEN WHO MAKE HER PROUD. Sister Grace is TMLA’s longest-serving faculty member and the Sister of St. Joseph who has ministered at The Mary Louis Academy longest…. having ministered at TMLA for 46 years and counting! There is no surprise that administrators, faculty, staff, students, parents and alumnae alike refer to her lovingly as “Amazing Grace”.

THE HALL OF EXCELLENCE DR. CAROLYN PARADISE WAYRYNEN – TMLA CLASS OF 1962 When asked about her TMLA experience Dr. Carolyn Wayrynen said “It is hard to appreciate that 54 years have intervened since I graduated from The Mary Louis Academy (TMLA) in 1962”. Indeed, a lot has transpired over those years as in any life. There were and are many excellent times experienced and others much more difficult in remembering. CAROLYN FEELS SHE WAS FORTUNATE TO ATTEND TMLA WHERE SHE WAS PROVIDED WITH THE FOUNDATION THAT TAUGHT STRONG ETHICAL PRINCIPLES AND THE EDUCATION TO PURSUE A CAREER IN SCIENCE. In looking back at her 1962 Crusader yearbook, Carolyn enjoys seeing photos of wonderful classmates some of whom are still her close friends today. She saw pictures of very many of her teachers especially: Sister Edward Joseph, who taught French & Tablet, a language that would serve Carolyn very well later on; Sister Mary Stella, English; Sister Catherine Josephine, Chemistry; Sisters Mary Amata & Mary Apollonia, mathematics; Sisters Mary Baptista & Mary Cornelius, physics; lastly the redoubtable Sister Rita Gerard who was the Prefect of Discipline. Carolyn can’t recall exactly her infractions at the time but she and Sister Rita Gerard got to know each other quite well! All of the teachers were dedicated, smart and inspiring women. After graduation Carolyn attended Hunter College of the City of New York on a Regents Scholarship where she majored in Chemistry and minored in Mathematics and Physics. Her first job after graduation was in the laboratory of Dr. Eric Kandel who was at New York University at the time

and received the 2000 Nobel prize in Medicine for his research on the physiological basis of memory storage in neurons. After a year Carolyn realized that she needed to go back to school and complete premedical courses to allow her to pursue a career in Medicine. The most efficient and cost effective way was to study abroad where she could pay for her education without amassing enormous debt. Carolyn attended the University of Brussels where her French training with Sister Edward Joseph came in very handy. During her last year of medical school at the age of 29, Carolyn was diagnosed with breast cancer an event that totally changed her life. Standard treatment at the time was with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for an aggressive tumor. It obviously worked to cure her cancer but not without a steep price. Radiation produces a chronic inflammation in the exposed tissues and resulted in progressive heart damage requiring several surgeries over the years culminating in a heart transplant in 2011. In 2013 Carolyn also needed a kidney transplant due to complications affecting the kidneys from long standing heart failure and the medications associated with prevention of transplant rejection. Her nephew donated a kidney that made the transplant process much simpler with less likelihood of rejection. Through all these events the power of family, friends and prayer have sustained her.

THE HALL OF EXCELLENCE

While on chemotherapy Carolyn began her medical internship. It was fine except for extra fatigue. She did her Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine at the Beth Israel Medical Center in NY where she was President of the House Staff Association. During her 3rd year Carolyn spent several research months at the Rockefeller Institute, Cornell Medical Center doing research on platelets and got her first paper published on the survival of platelets in patients with diabetes. From NY Carolyn went to Boston to do a Fellowship in Hematology & Oncology at the “Joint Center” which consisted of The Beth Israel Hospital, Brigham and Women’s, Children’s and the Dana Farber. Carolyn was appointed an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard University and taught medical students physical diagnosis. Carolyn’s research was on cancer stem cells. After 6 years in Boston she was ready to try a new challenge. The biotechnology boom was just starting and a colleague from Harvard invited her to look at a job at Cetus Oncology. PCR had just been discovered there, a technique that revolutionized the study of genes and forensic medicine. The immunotherapy molecules in clinical development were very exciting. Carolyn and her team developed Interleukin 2 (Il_2) for renal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Both indications were approved by The European Medicines Agency and The Food and Drug Administration. Very few patients responded but those who did had cures lasting 20 years or more. At the time they were not aware of the check point inhibitors of the immune system that kept patients from responding and recently drugs that intervene in these checkpoints have again brought immunotherapy to the forefront of medicine. There is still a lot to learn.

with Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL). She has also participated in the development of a variety of agents over the years that treat cancer as well as other diseases such as wound healing, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and heart failure. Carolyn currently consults for small biotechnology companies that hope to improve the lives of patients through the products they develop. It has been a very exciting career. Carolyn started as an Associate Physician and eventually founded a company with noted scientists and served as its President. She was also fortunate to be appointed an Attending Physician at some major cancer centers while working in the industry such as Fox Chase in Philadelphia and University of California, San Francisco.

Over the years Carolyn has worked at other biotech companies and was responsible for the development of a drug to treat a particularly malignant form of leukemia (Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia, APL). This drug in conjunction with retinoic acid (Vitamin A) in newly diagnosed patients with APL has now replaced chemotherapy drugs that had long term toxic consequences for responders. Carolyn also oversaw the development of the first epigenetic treatment, a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDAC) to treat patients

We at TMLA continue to hold great pride in Carolyn for all she has done, and continues to do, to further advances in medicine and in the progress of women in the sciences. Carolyn’s support for TMLA has been unwavering and we are so very thankful for that. We are honored to induct Dr. Carolyn Paradise Wayrynen into The Hall of Excellence.

IT ALL BEGAN AT MARY LOUIS AND CAROLYN IS SO EXCITED TO PLAY WHAT SHE CONSIDERS TO BE A SMALL PART IN SUPPORTING THE MAGNIFICENT TRACK RECORD THAT SISTER KATHLEEN HAS ACCOMPLISHED AT MARY LOUIS. THE NUMBER OF YOUNG WOMEN GOING ON TO COLLEGE IS VERY EXCITING. YEAR AFTER YEAR NEW BRIGHT YOUNG WOMEN CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THEIR CAREERS OF CHOICE DUE TO THE GREAT FOUNDATION THEY HAVE RECEIVED IN HIGH SCHOOL AT MARY LOUIS. THE WORLD IS A VERY EXCITING PLACE FOR THEM AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS CONTINUE TO ASTOUND AND STIMULATE NEW IDEAS.

THE HALL OF EXCELLENCE KATHLEEN M. RUTHERFORD TMLA CLASS OF 1979 On March 12, 1975, Kathy Rutherford opened a letter from Mary Louis that began with “In recognition of excellent performance on the Cooperative Examination, Mary Louis Academy this year is granting 2 partial scholarships… It gives me great pleasure to advise that you have won one of these scholarships“. Kathy said that “I really didn’t want to go to an all girls school, but I had no choice- thank you mom and dad for that”. Four years later, she was desperately sad to be leaving her intellectual home and the close friends that she made there. Begrudgingly, she left for a Bachelors of Electrical Engineering at Manhattan College and then a Masters in Biomedical Engineering with an emphasis on Rehabilitation Engineering. Going from an all girls school to become a 12% minority in the engineering student population was a strange transition, and part of what drives Kathleen to expand the numbers of women and minorities in technology careers! KATHY THEN SPENT 26 YEARS OBTAINING FDA APPROVAL FOR MEDICAL DEVICES RANGING FROM MRI AND CT SCANNERS TO BREAST CANCER DETECTION SYSTEMS AND HIP, KNEE AND SHOULDER IMPLANTS. THE FACT THAT THESE MEDICAL DEVICES IMPROVED THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR PATIENTS WAS WHAT MADE THIS CAREER SO FULFILLING. During this time, Kathy came to realize her passion to inspire kids to consider engineering and technology as a career. She spent 12 years volunteering with F.I.R.S.T. robotics and organizations such as the Girl Scouts, Black Girls Code and the Liberty Science Center. In 2009, Kathy contacted TMLA and, with the leadership and vision of Sister Kathleen, helped initiate a robotics team at TMLA. That team, the Steampunk Penguins, is in its eighth season of competition and evolved into the Engineering Program we have today. Just before her 35th TMLA reunion, Kathy became one of a team of “Super Reps” who reinvigorated the Class of 1979 with a Facebook presence that, along with their record breaking 93 attendees at their 35th reunion, led to continuous ’79 minireunions all around the country and the globe! Kathy has captured her reunion recommendations in a guideline entitled

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

“How to Have the Best TMLA Reunion Ever” and works continuously to strengthen the bonds between her class as well as those of other classes with their Mary Louis home. In October 2015, Kathy retired at 54 and was free to inspire kids and mentor full time. Kathy is currently mentoring the TMLA team and leading their technology and 3D printing/ prosthetic initiative and is involved with other high school robotics teams. She is also guiding elementary schools on tech inclusion into after school programs and is currently helping the Girl Scouts of Greater New York with 3 robotics leagues. Kathy has helped TMLA college engineering students with their resume and job preparation. She has inspired 7 graduating classes of TMLA techies (and counting!) and continues to work to make TMLA a place where students are encouraged to pursue majors in biomedicine, robotics and technology. Kathy feels blessed to be able to "pay forward" the life changing scholarship that TMLA gave her in 1975! Kathy would like to thank her parents and her brother, Joe & Elaine Rutherford and Jim Rutherford, for their amazing and unwavering support, as well as the support and love of her partner Dr. Marykate Noonan and the best friends that she made at TMLA, such as Justine Cuccia ‘79 & Alicia Kozuch Komar ‘79 (and Connie Trapani ‘79 who lives in Australia!). Kathy is also grateful for the wonderful friends, such as Mr. Mark Meyers, she has met during her engineering career. TMLA remains indebted to Kathy for her invaluable support and innovative ideas. Kathy has truly been the inspiration and driving force of our Engineering Program and her vision in 2009 helped TMLA to become the first all-girl school in the State of New York to have our own Robotics Program. We thank you Kathy for being a true TMLA Woman of Vision.

THE HALL OF EXCELLENCE NORA EBERHARDT QUIGLEY TMLA CLASS OF 1946 Nora Eberhardt Quigley was welcomed into the world on July 11, 1928 by her parents Nora Lenehean Eberhardt and August Eberhardt, who lived in Astoria, New York. She was their fifth child. That’s where the story begins.Nora attended P.S. #5, an elementary school. Being the last of the children, all she ever heard was “I hope you are as nice as your sister Marie, as sweet as Gus and as bright as William.” She had a lot to live up to and she wanted to be all the things the Eberhardt clan was. Being ready for high school, Nora’s mom selected TMLA. She made an appointment to visit the school and meet with the principal, S. Angelica. She and Nora put on their Sunday best and took the trip to Jamaica Estates. Nora’s mom had all the necessary paperwork proving Nora’s eligibility, though not a Catholic. After a long while and much conversation, Sr. Angelica promised to save a spot for Nora in the fall class of 1942. Nora’s mom took care of all the necessary requirements and Nora was a future TMLA girl. No one knew Nora was not a Catholic except for Nora’s friend Virginia Munzer, who also was not a Catholic. They stuck together, like glue, even through all the religion classes they took. Four years later Nora was baptized into the Catholic faith by TMLA’s Chaplain, Father Owen, directly before her TMLA graduation Mass. Nora was an active participant in the Genesians and the orchestra all through her high school career. When Nora was a little girl, her mother would ask her what she wanted to do when she grew up and Nora’s response, you guessed it, was to become a teacher. It was depression time and no one was hiring teachers but her mom did not want to deter her. Nora and her friend Mary would play school all the time, pretending they were teachers. Nora would slap walls with a ruler saying “I don’t like your altitude” Growing up she learned that was not the right word – thank goodness. NORA SPENT FOUR GREAT YEARS AT TMLA. NORA FELT SHE CAME FROM A WEAK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND THAT THE GIRLS AT TMLA WERE SCHOLASTICALLY AHEAD OF HER, BUT THE SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH REALLY HELPED HER. GUESS THEY KNEW SHE WAS THERE TO

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

WORK AND THEY WORKED HER TAIL OFF. IT PAID OFF – THANKS TO THEM. SHE WASN’T SLOW AT ALL. INSTEAD SHE WAS A VERY INTERESTED STUDENT WHO WAS THERE TO INHALE ALL OF THE KNOWLEDGE SHE COULD. Nora attended Marymount College to finish her training. She earned a BA in Psychology and also earned a second major in Education. She needed those 36 credits in education to apply for the license to teach. She got her degree in February and was in a second grade classroom in March. Educationally, the next step on the ladder to success was the completion of her Master’s degree. She received her Masters of Science in Education from the State University of New York at New Paltz, in 1968. Another door was opened for her in her career. Nora was married and with that came a big move to Upstate New York as a result of her husband’s job. She stayed in the classroom during the day and continued working on her certification in the evening. She earned:

Common Branch Teaching Certificate (permanent) Reading Certification (permanent) Elementary Principal Certification (permanent) Supervision and Administration Certification (permanent)

All these certifications gave her the wherewithal to achieve. She left the regular classroom in 1965 and began her career in Administration becoming the Reading Coordinator in the Highland Central School

THE HALL OF EXCELLENCE District for grades 1-8. She established reading labs for grades 7 and 8, a summer reading program for grades 1-8 under Title 1 and a Head Start program for both public and parochial schools. She was the project writer for the program which involved student selection program scheduling, budget preparation, curriculum establishment and development, instructional supervision staff selection and school community relations through media and individual contracts. Quite a challenge for a first job but Nora liked it. Nora’s other endeavors included participation in the Curriculum Revision Committee for the Highland Central School. District Wide Primary Supervisor came next for Ballston Spa Central Schools where she was involved in visiting classrooms, writing reports on the visits and advising beginner teachers to help make them better at their craft. After 2 years her position was abolished during budget cuts. With no full time administrative positions available, Nora returned to the classroom. She kept her fingers in the pie and this time she took student teachers from Russell Sage College. That led to the full time professor asking her if she would like to teach the Language Arts Methods course at the college. Nora was in her classroom full time and taught at Russell Sage College in the evenings and in the summer for 4 years. Another great experience. Nora’s next assignment was for the Shenedehowa Central School District. She became an Assistant Principal. In this position she was responsible for program scheduling and budgeting processes. She also assisted the principal in instructional evaluation and supervision through classroom visits, observations and conferences and participated in school community relations with individual and group contacts. While in this position, Nora was appointed interim principal to cover for the incumbent principal who was hospitalized. The position was supposed to last for 2 weeks and turned into a four month opportunity for which Nora was delighted. She liked being in charge. Upon retirement from public school in 1985, Nora became an adjunct professor at the College of St. Rose teaching PBTE 1 and PBTE IV. These are the first and last class students take in the school of education, which includes student teaching. For anyone reading this Nora wishes to relay this message: DON’T GIVE UP! She sent 3 resumes to the College of St. Rose, 3 years in a row and suddenly one day heard from them. The Dean said he kept hearing from this lady and finally they looked her up, gave her an interview and the next 10 years is history.

Though retired, Nora was invited to take part in the scoring of the NY State Teaching Certification Test for the licensing of teachers for five years. Nora was in the field of education for 45 years. Currently Nora is writing picture story books for children. Even at the age of 88 one needs a challenge. When she is not busy with her books, Nora volunteers her time in a variety of ways. When her husband Jim passed away she was offered a clerical position at Albany Medical Hospital by his Doctor. She also volunteered in the gift shop at Ellis Hospital helping patient relations to pick out gifts to take upstairs. SHE ALSO HELPS TO FEED THE POOR AT ST. HELEN’S CHURCH, AND FINALLY, SHE VOLUNTEERS AT ST. EDWARD THE CONFESSOR, HER LOCAL PARISH, IN A VARIETY OF WAYS INCLUDING AS A EUCHARISTIC MINISTER AND WORKING IN THEIR FAITH FORMATION PROGRAM AS A CATECHIST FOR FIRST HOLY COMMUNION. SHE ALSO TAKES THIS TIME TO TEST HER BOOKS OUT READING THEM TO THE YOUNGER CHILDREN IN THE PROGRAM. In fact, after reading one of her books a little five year old said to her “I wish I had a book like that.” Nora is trying to make that wish a reality. To quote Nora, “I chose the profession I enjoyed, was delighted with my experiences and apparently my supervisors were pleased with my work ethics. And God blessed me with three wonderful people who were part of my team who cheered me on – my Mom, my Dad, and my very loving husband, Jim."

In 2010 Nora made a very generous gift to TMLA to establish a scholarship in memory of her parents. The August & Nora Eberhardt Memorial Scholarship is currently on its second recipient. A full 4 year scholarship Nora stipulated that she wished the award to go to a girl from a struggling family who has “average” grades….as Nora puts it "the smarties get all the scholarships. I want this scholarship to go to a girl who works hard, tries her best and gets A’s... but also gets a few B’s, because she needs to know that’s ok, as long as she has tried her best." We are so very grateful to Nora for all of her dedication and great generosity to The Mary Louis Academy. It is our great honor to induct Nora Eberhardt Quigley into The Hall of Excellence.

REMEMBERING REGINA QUATTROCCHI GINA ALSO BELIEVED DEEPLY THAT EVERY PERSON DESERVED SAFE AND APPROPRIATE HOUSING, AND SHE WAS A FOUNDING MEMBER OF THE COALITION OF PROVIDERS, ADVOCATES, AND PEOPLE WITH HIV THAT IN THE EARLY 1990S SET BASIC STANDARDS FOR ALL HIV HOUSING PROGRAMS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

We at TMLA are saddened to announce the passing on December 14, 2016 of one of "our girls", Regina Quattrocchi - Class of 1971. Gina was Chief Executive Officer of Bailey House, the first supportive housing agency in the United States for people living with HIV/AIDS. Her work and advocacy have helped establish the link between homelessness and HIV incidence and the need for stable housing for access to healthcare and improved health outcomes. In shifting the way policy makers view HIV incidence and prevention, Gina created a new paradigm in the public discourse around addressing these epidemics. Gina also believed deeply that every person deserved safe and appropriate housing, and she was a founding member of the coalition of providers, advocates, and people with HIV that in the early 1990s set basic standards for all HIV housing programs in the State of New York. It was out of that passion that she also became one of the founders of the National AIDS Housing Coalition (NAHC). She saw NAHC as a national platform for the promotion of housing as an essential HIV intervention. More fundamentally, she always argued to make the case that housing is a basic human right that needs to be respected everywhere.

During her tenure, Bailey House grew from a small agency providing housing for people with HIV/AIDS into an $18 million organization that provides housing, care coordination, mental health and substance use treatment to New Yorkers living with the virus and other chronic illnesses. Gina also was a former president of the National AIDS Housing Coalition and served the community in various roles, including as a member of the New York State Ending the Epidemic Task Force; as a member of the Harlem Hospital Community Advisory Board; and a board member of iHealth NYS. Her contributions as an advocate and leader were widely recognized over the years. Her most recent awards of distinction were given this year in conjunction with World AIDS Day by the New York City health department and the Brooklynâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;based group Bridging Access to Care. Gina is survived by her two children and a network of those whose lives she changed, and indeed saved, through her phenomenal efforts. Gina truly spent her life's work fighting for humankind. We are so proud of "our girl".

he Mary Louis Academy was founded in 1936, by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Brentwood, NY. This was the fruition of their late General Superior, Mother Mary Louis's, dream to found an academy for young women in Queens. Archbishop Thomas Molloy himself had a hand in the birth of TMLA, due to his strong personal conviction that the girls of the Diocese of Brooklyn deserved an academy all their own which would foster all of their individual talents and guide them to success. To this very day TMLA continues to uphold the reputation for excellence which both Mother Mary Louis and Archbishop Thomas Molloy so wholeheartedly believed in. For over eighty years, The Academy's tall, brick and limestone Collegiate Gothic main building has been a distinctive part of the Queens skyline. Despite the increasing number of buildings, it is an architectural landmark that can be seen clearly from the Long Island Railroad. This is very appropriate because it was while traveling on the Long Island Railroad in the early 1930s, that Mother Mary Louis first gazed upon a beautiful hilltop in the countryside of Jamaica Estates and selected it as her ideal site for a new academy. Although Mother Mary Louis passed away suddenly on May 22, 1932, her dream of establishing an academy for young women in the urban enclave of Jamaica Estates lived on in the hearts and minds of her congregation of sisters. When Mother Mary Louis’s plans to build this academy for girls in Queens were set in motion, the Sisters of St. Joseph came upon an obstacle; that hilltop, the Fox/Adikes estate “Rose Crest”, had already been purchased by the Passionist priests of the neighboring Immaculate Conception Monastery, with the intent to build a high school seminary… for boys!! Archbishop Molloy personally intervened and

instructed the Passionists to sell the property to the Sisters of St. Joseph, for exactly what they had paid for it themselves.

NAME & PLACE

n 1935 the Sisters of St. Joseph officially acquired the hilltop Rose Crest estate, a landmark of turn of the century Queens, and the Mediterranean Revival white stucco mansion became the convent for the Sisters who were to staff this "Private School for Girls." Mother Mary Louis had intended the new academy to be named Mother Fontbonne Academy, in memory of Mother St. John Fontbonne, who refounded the Sisters of St. Joseph in Le Puy, France in 1807. Archbishop Molloy stepped in with the suggestion that the new Academy be named in memory of Mother Mary Louis herself, as she had been such a driving force for education in New York. Sister Mary Angelica Clarkin CSJ, Ph.D., the founding principal, applied to the New York Department of Education for the official Academy charter in the name "Mother Mary Louis Academy." When the charter was delivered, it arrived with the first two letters, as well as the last, in the word MOTHER conspicuously absent from its name. Whether a slip of a clerk's pen or an act of divine providence, the word "The" was permanently affixed to the name of The Mary Louis Academy. The first students were fifteen young women who were greeted by a faculty of eight sisters on the first day of school on September 14, 1936. Classes were held in the double parlors of the mansion (now known as the Mary Louis Convent), while plans for the permanent academy building were formulated. During this time two wings were added to the mansion, housing a refectory and a Mission style Chapel.

HISTORY

TMLA

The architect of The Academy’s building, Henry Murphy, stated that he wanted to evoke the feel of the private prep schools found in New England. To this end Mr. Murphy modeled the building after the Sterling Law Library at Yale University. The completed Academy building took shape over a period of two years and finally opened its doors on October 16, 1938 providing numerous classrooms and offices along with science laboratories, a Gymnasium, Locker Room, Dining Hall, Reception Parlor, Auditorium and an exquisite Library. The beautiful Collegiate Gothic masterpiece, now known as the "Main" building, stands as a structural testament to both art and architecture, one that has witnessed more than eight decades. The builder of TMLA, James Nelson, was so enamored of the Sisters of St. Joseph’s tradition of excellence in education that, when his daughter was born during the construction of The Academy building, he not only immediately registered her as The Mary Louis Academy's first prospective student, he named her for The Academy! Mary Louis Nelson graduated from TMLA in 1955! In 1938 TMLA also opened the doors to the Mary Louis Kindergarten, a one-year pre-school program for 5 year old girls and boys. The Kindergarten was housed in a cottage adjacent to the Convent (the present day Art Cottage) and later moved to Immaculata Hall one of the larger cottages on The Academy’s campus (the present day Formation Cottage). Many of the female graduates of the Mary Louis Kindergarten, including Mary Louis Nelson, went on to graduate from TMLA itself.

PURPOSE & CULTURE

he stated purpose of The Mary Louis Academy was to educate young women to become leaders and make a positive contribution to the world. In order to achieve this purpose, a demanding academic program was introduced. Founded during the Great Depression, when most saw little need for a girls’ college preparatory school, TMLA offered young women the highest standard of education. The traditional high school courses for young

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

women of the day, namely home economics, nursing, typing and stenography, gave way to Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, English Literature, History and both Modern and Classical Languages. At the time these classes were considered only of interest or use to boys. From the very beginning, a variety of extra-curricular activities extended the interests of the students. Mariel, The Academy newspaper, published its first issue in 1936. Glee Club and Orchestra, the Drama Club "Genesians" and the language clubs fostered student talents. The Athletic Association sponsored field days and many intramural events. The Christmas Pageant, sponsored by the Sodality, became an annual event. TMLA’s Forensics Team (Speech & Debate) was gifted with their long serving Head Coach, Bob Sheppard, who also went on to become known as “The Voice of the Yankees”. Sports Night provided the students with the opportunity to exhibit their school pride and creativity, this evolved into Spirit Night and has become one of TMLA’s most beloved and hallowed annual traditions. The year 1940 saw the first Commencement Exercises of The Mary Louis Academy, with the introduction of the C.L.S. Award. The C.L.S. Award is The Academy’s highest honor and is awarded to Graduates who most exemplify the three main hallmarks of a Mary Louis woman – Character, Loyalty and Spirit of Study.

ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Just as mortar and bricks form the foundations of The Mary Louis Academy’s buildings, so do the academic standards that have distinguished TMLA since its inception in 1936. TMLA quickly became known as the leader in the education of young women, so much so that by 1940, just four years after its opening, 800 girls from Queens, Brooklyn and Nassau counties competed for only 100 seats in that year’s freshman class. The reputation for academic excellence at TMLA quickly spread. So many young women sought to be educated here, that within twenty years of our founding, The Academy’s population had outgrown the building. All available space, including the Recetion Parlor, the Faculty Dining Room and several music rooms had already been converted to classrooms. However, still more space was needed.

GROWTH

n 1955 construction began on an addition, initially to be named DeChantal Wing, but ever after known simply as "The Wing." When, in 1957, the new wing was fully opened, the capacity of The Academy was doubled. The original cafeteria, DeChantal Hall, was redesigned into a new seven room Music Complex, the original Locker Room became the ten room Guidance Complex, the Reception Parlor became the General Office, a new Biology Laboratory, new Cafeteria, new Locker Room, a Board Room, a Home Economics Complex and many classrooms were added. The new construction also added a third wing to the Convent, in order to house the additional Sisters needed to staff the enlarged Academy. During the 1960s and 1970s, The Academy knew many more changes in curriculum and the use of physical space. These came as a response to the educational climate of the times and the revision of the secondary school curriculum by the New York State Department of Education. Resource Centers were created, a new Art Studio (named the Art Cottage) was constructed on the campus, and the architecturally exquisite Library was enlarged. The 1970s also saw the Mary Louis Kindergarten close its doors, in deference to the neighboring Immaculate Conception School instituting a Kindergarten program of their own. As a response to the needs of the 1980s, Computer Science was introduced, and a Computer Room was created. The Academy applied for and was granted accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The Board Room was renovated and consecrated as The Academy's student Chapel to provide a sacred space that welcomes both faculty and students. This decade also saw the expansion of the campus with the purchase of neighboring property.

THE NEW AGE

n the 1990s, focusing our vision toward the education of today's student who must meet the challenges of the 21st century, two state-of-the-art computer laboratories were added and the Chemistry, Physics and Earth Science Laboratories were completely renovated and technologically updated. In addition to the new laboratories, computers were added to the resource centers, every classroom and the Library. Technology plays an ever-expanding role in the pedagogical practices at Mary Louis today. In the new millennium, the Auditorium, where many students and alumnae remember some of their fondest school moments, underwent a period renovation with restored lighting, a new sound system, refinished stage, new flooring, cushioned seats and air conditioning. The Main Staircase, constructed in 1937 of carved limestone and glazed terracotta tile, underwent an architectural restoration and the General Office (the original Reception Parlor) was restored to its 1938 floorplan. Home Economics was removed from the Regents curriculum and the Home Economics Complex was redesigned into three additional classrooms. In 2004 TMLA expanded a third time, absorbing and totally renovating the adjacent wing of the Convent. This expansion provided more classrooms as well as additional academic and counseling offices. Since 2008 the Biology Laboratory and Art Cottage have undergone state-ofthe-art renovations along with the installation of SMARTBoard technology in every classroom, laboratory and resource center throughout the campus. In 2011 the number of Sisters residing in the Mary Louis Convent had dwindled to such a point that it was no longer feasible for them to maintain such a large residence, as a result the remaining Sisters relocated to neighboring convents and the Convent building was turned over to TMLA for The Academy’s use. In the summer of 2014 TMLA expanded once again by totally renovating and repurposing the former Convent building (the original Rose Crest Mansion). This expansion and renovation resulted in the addition of over 12,500 square feet to The Academy’s facilities including a Student Lounge, Art Solarium, Engineering Laboratory,

Mathematics Laboratory, Culinary Arts Center, an 11 bedroom overnight Student Retreat facility and a return to the historic Mission style Chapel. Upon the recommendation of the New York City Council, the Office of Mayor Michael Bloomberg approved the naming of Wexford Terrace between Edgerton Boulevard and Dalny Road, Mother Mary Louis Way, in honor of Mother Mary Louis Crummey CSJ, founder and namesake of The Mary Louis Academy. Each year in TMLA's history has brought some advancements and changes. A visitor who has not seen The Academy for twenty years or more will behold a familiar place that has undergone many evolutions.

FIDEM SERVAVI

The school motto FIDEM SERVAVI – I have kept the faith – serves as a guide for a life well-lived and encourages all in the Mary Louis community to strive for the highest goals of achievement and service through the spiritual lens of the Gospel. In the mid-1930s it was considered a heroic act of faith to establish a school of any kind. In the midst of The Great Depression, when the prevailing spirit was one of pessimism, building a college preparatory academy for young women was a statement of belief in the future, and in the contributions of Catholic education and women of dignity to that future. The founders of The Mary Louis Academy were women of great faith and vision. They saw the women who graduated from Mary Louis as a force for good in society. The Mary Louis woman would make a difference…

And she does! 85

From

MARY ANN to

MARY LOUIS

In 1856 a young Irish immigrant, and recent widower, James Crummey knocked on the door of the convent at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and entrusted the newly arrived Sisters of St. Joseph with a most important task. Mr. Crummey was in need of the Sisters to educate and care for his two motherless young daughters, 8 year old Mary Ann and 6 year old Ellie. The Sisters were happy to take on this sacred responsibility.

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

oth girls were enrolled in the Academy of St. Joseph, the boarding school located at the sisters’ Motherhouse in Flushing. Young Mary Ann excelled in her studies and soon showed a remarkable gift for all things musical, going on to become an accomplished singer and organist. In 1863 Mary Ann made the decision to respond to her calling and entered the Novitiate of the Congregation of St. Joseph, being given the religious name of Sister Mary Louis. On August 25, 1864 she received the habit from Bishop Loughlin, and on August 29, 1866 she made her final profession in the hands of the Reverend James O’Beirne. Thus began what would prove to be her truly phenomenal ministry as a Sister of St. Joseph.

Mother Mary Louis truly believed that she and her sisters were called to minister to God’s people wherever they were needed. As a result of this belief the ministries established under the guidance of Mother Mary Louis were numerous and diverse, spanning the width and breadth of Long Island. They stretched from Brooklyn, through Queens, Nassau and Suffolk Counties. In total Mother Mary Louis personally established 29 Elementary Schools, 9 High Schools, 2 Colleges, 2 Nursing Schools, 2 Hospitals, 2 Orphanages , 2 Retreat Homes, staffed countless parish Sunday School programs and was directly responsible for extending the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Mission to Puerto Rico with the establishment of a school and a Dispensary (modern day clinic).

Sister Mary Louis devoted herself to the Josephite missions of education and love of the dear neighbor, becoming a much respected music teacher and ultimately being honored with appointment as Directress of Music at the CSJ Motherhouse in Flushing. On August 18, 1892, at the age of only 44 years old, Sister Mary Louis was deeply humbled when the Sisters of St. Joseph elected her to be their congregational leader as General Superior. Now honored with the new title of Reverend Mother Mary Louis, she set out to lead her community of sisters forward in their ministries. Little did she know then that she would be repeatedly re-elected to this high office, ultimately holding this position for 40 years. During her tenure as General Superior the Sisters of St. Joseph enjoyed tremendous growth and achievement, in large part due to the unswerving leadership of this courageous woman of faith. When Mother Mary Louis took office in 1892 the number of Sisters was at 300, by the time of her death 40 years later the congregation had nearly quadrupled to over 1,100 women religious. In 1896, due to the exponential growth of her congregation, Mother Mary Louis purchased 350 acres of property in the rural town of Brentwood, NY with the intent to build a new, expanded Motherhouse. In 1903 the CSJ Motherhouse relocated from Flushing to its present location in Brentwood…all of which was facilitated personally by Mother Mary Louis.

SISTER MARY LOUIS DEVOTED HERSELF TO THE JOSEPHITE MISSIONS OF EDUCATION AND LOVE OF THE DEAR NEIGHBOR

In addition to the many institutions established by Mother Mary Louis, she also successfully continued the operations of 24 Elementary Schools, 3 High Schools and two Orphanages that were already established by the Sisters of St. Joseph before she was elected. Mother Mary Louis’s insistence on providing quality education and limitless opportunities also included the Sisters in her congregation. In the early 1900’s, when many people did not consider it essential for women to receive even a high school diploma, Mother Mary Louis was encouraging her Sisters not only toward Bachelor’s Degrees but toward graduate and post-graduate work. Largely through her efforts, the Sisters of St. Joseph developed into a cadre of highly competent women who molded future generations in a rapidly changing world. Mother Mary Louis was a highly regarded woman of her time and worked closely with the male leadership of the Diocese of Brooklyn (which then included the current Diocese of Rockville Centre) and the Archdiocese of New York, including Bishop McDonnell, Archbishop Molloy and Cardinal Spellman. In a time when women were still denied the right to vote, Mother Mary Louis’s tremendous leadership abilities and wisdom earned her an unparalleled level of respect and admiration as a colleague of these men. Bishop McDonnell held Mother Mary Louis and her congregation in such high regard that when he was entering his final illness he chose to spend his last days at the CSJ Motherhouse in Brentwood, entrusting his care to Mother Mary Louis herself. He passed away there on August 8, 1921.

MOTHER MARY LOUIS TRULY BELIEVED THAT SHE AND HER SISTERS WERE CALLED TO MINISTER TO GOD’S PEOPLE WHEREVER THEY WERE NEEDED.

In early 1932 Mother Mary Louis initiated plans to purchase the hilltop Rose Crest Estate located in Jamaica Estates. She chose this as her ideal location for a new college preparatory academy for young women. In the midst of these plans Mother Mary Louis was felled by sudden illness, passing away a month later on May 22, 1932. On May 23, 1932 the New York Times proclaimed Mother Mary Louis’s work of 40 years “phenomenal”. Archbishop Molloy personally presided at her Mass of Christian Burial and she was interred in Calvary Cemetery on the grounds of the Motherhouse in Brentwood. This is the private cemetery she had designed and constructed as a final resting place for her community of Sisters. The impact of Mother Mary Louis’s 70 year ministry as a Sister of St. Joseph and 40 year ministry as General Superior can still be felt today. Hundreds of thousands of women and men have benefited from the educations,

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

healthcare, faith formation and love received in the 52 institutions founded by this extraordinary woman of vision. In 1934 the Sisters of St. Joseph picked up where Mother Mary Louis had left off and proceeded with her plans to open that new academy in Jamaica Estates. Mother Mary Louis had intended this academy to be named in memory of Mother St.John Fontbonne - foundress of the Sisters of St. Joseph. After her passing the Sisters of St. Joseph decided to establish her last academy as a memorial to Mother Mary Louis herself, a true trailblazer who transcended the traditional gender roles of her times. In a time when women were often marginalized and treated as “second class citizens”, Mother Mary Louis provided a powerful example of the leadership abilities of women.

THE GRADUATES OF TMLA ARE WOMEN OF GREAT INTELLIGENCE, FAITH, DIGNITY, COURAGE AND VISION; THIS IS FITTING BECAUSE THEY ARE EDUCATED IN THE MODEL OF OUR MOST INTELLIGENT, FAITHFUL, DIGNIFIED AND COURAGEOUS FOUNDER… MOTHER MARY LOUIS A TRUE WOMAN OF VISION!

ST. JOSEPH CONVENT BRENTWOOD The Sisters’ Motherhouse The Congregation of St. Joseph enjoyed exponential growth under Mother Mary Louis’s leadership. By 1896 the Sisters were very much in need of a larger Motherhouse to accommodate their expanded ministries. Mother Mary Louis set out to make this a reality. After much searching, she selected 350 acres of property in the rural town of Brentwood-in-the-Pines. This property was originally the location of the Brentwood Spa and the Austral Hotel, luxury vacation destinations for the wealthy elite of New York City. The grounds had been landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted (the landscape architect who designed Central Park). At the turn of the 20th century it was unheard of for women to conduct any real estate transactions without male supervision, but Mother Mary Louis would hear none of that!

SHE PERSONALLY SURVEYED THIS PROPERTY, NEGOTIATED ITS PURCHASE AND OVERSAW REDEVELOPMENT OF IT AS A NEW HOME FOR HER CONGREGATION.

ACADEMY OF ST. JOSEPH, CHAPEL OF THE SACRED HEART AND ST. JOSEPH CONVENT

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

In 1903 the Sisters of St. Joseph’s Motherhouse was officially relocated to Brentwood, NY and St. Louis Hall was opened to house the Academy of St. Joseph. The main building of the Academy, St. Joseph’s Hall opened in 1912.

The Chapel of the Sacred Heart was consecrated in 1933, ten months after Mother Mary Louis’s death. Mother Mary Louis designed this chapel with a definite feminine quality to show that it is a house of worship for a congregation of women religious. The chapel is decorated in soft tones of peach, pink and light blue. The walls of the nave are adorned with statues of female saints. Of the 16 saints depicted in the statues and artwork that adorn the chapel, 11 are women.

THE NEW ST. JOSEPH CONVENT OPENED IN 1929

The Statue of St. Joseph was presented to Mother Mary Louis by the alumnae of the Academy of St. Joseph (her alma mater) in 1923 as a gift for her 60th Jubilee as a Sister of St. Joseph. The choir loft features a statue of St. Cecilia beneath the stained glass Rose Window. St. Cecilia is the patroness of musicians (remember Mother Mary Louis was herself an accomplished musician!). The statue of St. Louis was donated as a gift in memory of Mother Mary Louis after her passing.

GIVING BACK

IN WORAWORA

Roxanne De La Torre, TMLA Class of 2005, has spent much of the past 12 years traveling around the globe providing humanitarian aid and relief to those in need. Roxanne currently serves as Director of The Dorothy Day Center for Service & Justice at her alma mater Fordham University. Although Roxanne finds her work at the Dorothy Day Center to be extremely fulfilling, the call of service to those less fortunate around the world continued to beckon. In May of 2016 Roxanne once again answered that call and traveled for 2 weeks to a small village in Ghana named Worawora where she worked with an organization called PACE-Ghana to complete construction of a block of classrooms for the village’s new Junior High School. Prior to PACE-Ghana’s work the local students used to study 102

outdoors using the outside wall of the primary school as their blackboard. Roxanne and her fellow volunteers spent their mornings and evenings with the masons, hand mixing sand and cement to make mortar and carrying the finished product in pans to the professionals. Then in the evenings they studied and read with the students (from nursery through high school level) in the library. Roxanne was even honored to meet with the village Elders. The Asante Tribe is very traditional and Roxanne found learning about their culture to be truly fascinating. We are so proud of the humanitarian work “our girls” do all over the world. Good job Roxanne and thank you for always proudly representing your alma maters The Mary Louis Academy and Fordham University!

The Alumnae Retreats are held at St. Joseph’s Villa, the Sisters of St. Joseph’s beautiful waterfront retreat house in the Hamptons. Situated on 8 lush acres perched atop a cliff overlooking Shinnecock Bay, the Villa provides an idyllic respite from the hectic rush of day to day life. The retreats have been tremendously popular with wonderful opportunity for quiet personal reflection, reconnecting with classmates, and making new friends. There was ample time to enjoy the beautiful grounds and breathtaking view of the bay, as well as time to listen, learn and share. You can partake in thought-provoking presentations given by special guest speakers, where you will be challenged to think about your life and the differences you can make in your environment and in your community. And characteristic of

Additional opportunities for reflection, relaxation and fun are provided through a Sunset Paint Night and Sunrise Yoga overlooking the bay; Guided Meditation, Evening Devotion and Reconciliation are all made available to our retreatants. After the Saturday evening Mass and supper all guests gather for a social hour of fun, laughter, and newfound sisterhood that stretches on into the night. Whether you are looking for a fun weekend to catch up with classmates, or just spend quiet time to reflect and pray, this is a great opportunity to do just that. Some alumnae come, not knowing anyone, and make new friends; some reunite with classmates after many decades apart. But by Sunday morning, when you sing the school song (yes we do!), you will all be one class. One group of women, united in friendship and in faith. We hope you will join us! OUR THANKS TO NAN ADAMS ’79 FOR HER GREAT TESTIMONIAL!

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

WOMEN ARE STILL WOEFULLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN THE CAREER FIELDS OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING & MATH…MORE COMMONLY KNOWN AS S.T.E.M. OUR MISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO EMPOWER YOUNG WOMEN TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS AND REALIZE THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM. To this end TMLA has begun a series of symposiums on careers in the S.T.E.M. fields. The purpose of these gatherings is to expose our students to the realities of women in S.T.E.M. and what they need to do to successfully pursue these careers themselves. TMLA invites our alumnae to return to TMLA and speak to our students about your experiences launching and maintaining a career in these fields. If you have worked in the S.T.E.M. fields and would be interested in sharing your invaluable life experiences at one of our future symposiums please contact Sean Belon – Director of Advancement & Alumnae Relations at 718.297.2120 x286 or Alumnae@tmla.org In October of 2016 one of "our girls", Joan Horvath - Class of 1977, returned to TMLA to speak at the first of our “S.T.E.M. Symposiums”. Joan met with the students in our Engineering Program. Joan graduated from TMLA and went on to earn a BS in Aeronautics & Astronautics from MIT and a MS in Engineering from UCLA. Joan enjoyed a successful career as an Engineer in the NASA/ Caltech Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where she worked on many projects, including the Magellan spacecraft to Venus and the Poseidon oceanography spacecraft. Joan is currently co-founder of Nonscriptum, LLC, a consulting firm with a specialty in helping businesses and educators understand the strategic use of 3-D printing. Joan also has an appointment as Core Adjunct faculty for National University’s College of Letters and Sciences, has taught at the university level in a variety of other prestigious institutions and has published several books on 3-D printing and S.T.E.M. It should come as no surprise that Joan is considered a renowned expert on 3-D printing and S.T.E.M. We are so very grateful to Joan and her partner Rich for coming to TMLA and speaking with our girls about the S.T.E.M. fields and the best uses for our 3-D printers.

Sherrese spoke to the incredible importance of the lifelong sisterhood that is built during your years at TMLA...of the tremendous leadership abilities cultivated within these walls and the importance of pushing yourself, having goals and dreams that you never let go of and, most importantly, of believing in yourself. Sherrese stated "Faith in yourself is similar to your faith in God...it is something you have to believe in with all your heart and never let go of ".

“

I CAN'T WAIT TO LIVE IN THE WORLD THAT YOU WILL LEAD.

DR. ANNE A. MCDONOUGH VISITS TMLA By – Elizabeth McGlinchey Whalen ’03 Dr. Anne A. McDonough, TMLA Class of 2003, had the opportunity to visit TMLA this fall for the first time since just after graduating. When we had a chance to sit down and speak after touring the building, she shared that it felt like she had never left; she was reminded of the home-like and welcoming feeling she experienced when she first came to look at the school before attending. It’s a feeling that many of “our girls” experience. Anne is an Associate Veterinarian in an American Animal Hospital Association accredited practice in Nebraska. She completed her undergraduate coursework at Boston College, received her Masters of Science from Fordham University, and became a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. She received countless awards, scholarships and honors throughout her education, including a Fellowship at Fordham.

ANNE BELIEVES THAT THE MARY LOUIS ACADEMY WAS (AND CONTINUES TO BE) A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE SHE WAS ENCOURAGED TO DISCOVER WHAT SHE WAS MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT AND PURSUE HER DREAMS.

MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT

While a typical veterinary path includes 4 years of undergraduate studies followed by 4 years of veterinary school, and Anne’s master’s degree was certainly not required, she found her graduate research experience invaluable when she was applying to vet schools. Anne’s research and work experience have been varied and quite diverse in nature. From working in conjunction with veterinarians who assisted in dairy production, to studying chipmunk dietary needs at great length, to doing fieldwork straight out of TMLA on Great Gull Island, she has been able to take advantage of every prospect available to her. She is a member of the Nebraska Academy of Veterinary Medicine, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and held leadership roles as a student in the American Animal Hospital Association. She is required to attend 32 hours of continuing education every 2 years to maintain her Nebraska State License. In her spare time, Anne enjoys cooking and baking, practicing her Irish Fiddle, and spending time with her cat, Penny, and fiancé, Greg. Anne has volunteered to serve as a Mentor in TMLA’s Alumnae Mentoring program, and is looking forward to working with members of our student body interested in pursuing Veterinary Medicine. She believes that The Mary Louis Academy was (and continues to be) a supportive environment where she was encouraged to discover what she was most passionate about and pursue her dreams.

MARYBETH BURKE MEENAN,

MLA Class of 1991, began her professional life as an accountant earning a BS in Accounting from St. John’s University and an MBA in Taxation from Hunter College. MaryBeth enjoyed a successful career as an accountant but realized that her true calling was to teach. MaryBeth decided to return to Hunter College and earn an MS in Education – a choice she calls “The best decision of my life.” Her previous career serves her well as an educator, though; as a former accountant, MaryBeth finds that collecting and analyzing student data comes naturally to her. She has now been teaching for eleven years. This year she teaches a class of seven students with autism, each of whom are appreciated for their uniqueness. Through daily use of Applied Behavior Analysis, she employs specialized strategies to develop both academic skills, such as decoding and comprehension, and socialization skills, such as problem solving and taking turns. MaryBeth incorporates positive reinforcement to praise students demonstrating positive interactions promoted by student behavior charts. Her impact on these children is undeniable, as each of her students has advanced at least three reading levels this year. 114

In June of 2016 MaryBeth was informed through a surprise classroom visit from NYC Department of Education Chancellor Farina (pictured here with MaryBeth) that she had been awarded the 2016-2017 Big Apple Award. The Big Apple Award is a program that recognizes educators in New York City who inspire students, model great teaching, and enrich their school communities. During this 2016-2017 academic year MaryBeth has been invited to serve on the Chancellor's Teacher Advisory Group allowing her to expand her impact in education.

YOUNG WOMEN FROM OUR ENGINEERING PROGRAM BUILD A TREBUCHET We are so proud of the young women from our Engineering Program who were invited to custom build a trebuchet to take part in the Queens Botanical Garden's 2016 "Pumpkin Smash". A trebuchet is a type of medieval siege engine; "our girls" were responsible for the concept, design and actual construction of the trebuchet...along with the mathematical calculations and formulas needed to determine proper weights, counterbalance and velocity. The Pumpkin Smash is an annual event where children (and adults!) from around the Borough of Queens bring their "retired" Halloween pumpkins and gourds to be "smashed" via a trebuchet. Once the event is finished the NYC Compost Project turns the smashed pumpkins into compost for City parks and green spaces. This event is a fun opportunity to dispose of unwanted holiday decorations in a way that is both safe and ecologically friendly! We are very grateful to the Queens Botanical Garden for allowing "our girls" this wonderful opportunity. Special thanks goes to Kathy Rutherford '79, Mentor of our Engineering Program, for all of her guidance and enthusiasm, Mr. Robert Grzywna - father of a current engineering student - for his excellent advice as a master carpenter, and Andrew Olesh husband of Cristina Ambroselli Olesh '05 - for inviting TMLA to take part in the project.

REMEMBERING

COLLEEN FITZ With heavy hearts we mourn the passing of Ms. Colleen Fitz, General Office Manager at The Mary Louis Academy from 2000 - 2016. For 16 years Colleen’s genuine smile, warm personality and generous heart welcomed thousands of TMLA students, their families

and alumnae. Colleen truly loved being a member of the TMLA Family and had a special place in her heart for each of “her girls”. She took great joy in watching our students

grow and mature into young women of dignity and vision, keeping in touch with them

throughout college and rejoicing with them as they started careers and families of their

own. Colleen’s kindness, love and sincere warmth will resonate in the halls of TMLA, and the lives of “her girls”, forever. Requiescat in Pace Ms. Fitz, job well done!

While she was in hospice care Colleen requested that, in lieu of flowers, donations be

made in her memory to The Mary Louis Academy Scholarship Fund to help educate an underprivileged young woman. TMLA is currently accepting donations in memory of

Colleen to establish the Colleen Fitz Memorial Scholarship at The Mary Louis Academy. If you would like to contribute to this fund please contact Sean Belon, Director of Academy Advancement, at 718.297.2120 x286.

FOR 16 YEARS COLLEEN’S GENUINE SMILE, WARM PERSONALITY AND GENEROUS HEART WELCOMED THOUSANDS OF TMLA STUDENTS, THEIR FAMILIES AND ALUMNAE.

DR. JANE SPAULDING BOWLING ‘60

MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP

DR. JANE SPAULDING BOWLING, TMLA CLASS OF 1960, PASSED AWAY ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 AFTER A BRIEF ILLNESS. BORN IN GREENWICH VILLAGE AND RAISED IN QUEENS, JANE WAS A LIFETIME NEW YORKER WHO BRIGHTENED EVERYONE'S LIVES WITH HER SHARP WIT, KEEN INSIGHT AND ABILITY TO LISTEN.

Upon graduating from TMLA in 1960 Jane went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in School Counseling from Queens College, her Master of Science in Social Work from Adelphi University and her Doctorate in Social Work from Yeshiva University. Jane enjoyed a more than 30 year career as a social worker and hospital administrator at Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, Long Island Jewish Medical Center and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. At Memorial Sloan Kettering, Jane pioneered the "Building Resiliency Through the Arts Program," bringing artists like the Alvin Ailey Dance Company to the hospital to perform at lunch hour for the staff. Jane called it "a one hour oasis" to rejuvenate caregivers suffering from compassion fatigue. In recognition of her devotion to cancer care, the Paul Robert Carey Foundation awarded her its "Shining Spirit Award" in 2003. Jane’s remarkable sense of humor and natural empathy served her well, not only as a social worker, but also as a mother, grandmother, sister and lifelong friend. Jane was survived by her partner, Woody Greenberg; son Christopher Downey; daughter-in-law, Lisa DeLuca; grandchildren, Nicholas and Isabella and her brother & sister-in-law, Brian & Linda Spaulding. Jane was also survived by her lifelong “sisters” from TMLA; Mary McDermott ‘60, Virginia Ellis Beech ‘60, Ruth Halligan ’60 & Patricia Hynes ’59. After Jane’s passing her son Chris and brother Brian decided to establish an endowed scholarship in her memory at The Mary Louis Academy. Jane’s family feels that two of the constants throughout her life of service to others were the sense of empowerment instilled in her at TMLA and the abiding friendships she made with her TMLA “sisters”; for that reason Jane’s family and friends decided to establish this endowed scholarship so as to provide that same life changing TMLA experience to the young women of today and tomorrow. The Dr. Jane Spaulding Bowling ’60 Memorial Scholarship is a partial scholarship to be awarded in 4 year increments to a young woman who attains admission to TMLA and whose family exhibits the greatest financial need. Through the great generosity of her family and friends Jane’s wonderful spirit of compassion, empathy and sincere kindness will live on through the countless young women who will be educated in her name. Requiescat in Pace Jane, thank you and job well done! Continued gifts are being accepted toward growing this scholarship endowment to the level of a full year’s tuition. If you would like to contribute to the Dr. Jane Spaulding Bowling Memorial Scholarship please contact Sean Belon – TMLA’s Director of Academy Advancement at 718.297.2120 x286 MARIEL AFTER & 2016 ANNUAL REPORT
