“You and

Loughlin provide

a window of

opportunity for

young people...”

Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School | The Clermont Fall 3

Dear Alums and Friends

of Bishop Loughlin:

It’s my pleasure to report back

to you on a wonderful year made

possible through your generous

support. Once again our seniors

did well;

• 100% graduated with

Regents Diplomas

• 22% earned Regents

Diplomas with Distinction

• One senior earned a full

scholarship to Brown

• Two will be Lasallian

Scholars at Manhattan

College, majoring in

engineering

• Another senior is attending

at the US Naval Academy

• 97% are college bound

This is an extraordinary level of

accomplishment for an inner city

secondary school. The Schott

Report tells the alternative story

when a young person does

not have access to a quality

education. In this parallel world

only 27% of African Americans

graduate from high school. You

and Loughlin provide a window

of opportunity for young people

grossly underserved by the

educational structures available

to them. In our Lasallian view

an education that provides for a

young persons success in this

world is salvific.

This year and moving forward

Loughlin has committed

to strengthen its academic

programming. We added an AP

Environmental Science course

to the curriculum and this in the

2011-12 academic year we are

adding an AP Physics course.

The result will be to have one or

more AP courses in each of the

academic disciplines. Through

our Admissions Director we are

recruiting a freshman class that is

stronger academically. Scholarship

and grant-in-aid allocations

support this effort. Currently 55%

of our students receive some

form of tuition assistance with

an average award of $3200.00.

Your generosity helps to keep a

Loughlin education accessible to

students and their families

The entire school community is

very proud of the Cozzi-Murray

Performing Arts Center and

Lancer Music Studio, which

opened in April. Since moving

in, students have taken over

the space with instruments and

other tools of the trade. Both

instrumentalists and vocalists

have been recorded, resulting in

great insight and improvement.

The director of the program is

spending the summer learning the

computerized console for mixing

and controlling sound so no time

will be wasted come September.

Some of our more recent alums

have dropped in to admire this

new addition to our venerable

facility and have offered rave

reviews. The center will play a

significant role in our recruitment

efforts this fall.

In June, the Board of Governors

endorsed our strategic plan. This

summer, my administrative team,

the Principal, Admissions and

Development Directors as well as

the Directors of Individual Giving

and Marketing/Communication,

has spent time crafting action

plans to implement the plan’s

broad goals strategies centered

on finance, development, facilities

and programs. All these efforts

are directed at achieving the goals

articulated in the strategic plan:

Making Loughlin sustainable for

the long term and the school of

choice for the families we serve

and would like to serve.

Your support continues to be a

great source of encouragement

and hope which allows the Board

of Governors and me to move

forward with confidence.

Live Jesus in our hearts.

Sincerely,

Bro. Dennis Cronin,FSC

the life of a Loughlin student. Several

other students hosted the afternoon,

sharing their Loughlin experiences,

their plans for the future, and their

gratitude with alumni and supporters

in attendance. Brian Connolly ‘73,

Governors, emceed the event keeping

all in focus, moving the program along,

and ensuring an upbeat tone. This

event also launched a new initiative

2011 Lion/Lancer Golf Outing Re-CapBy Armand Keller ‘11

On June 23, 2011, Bishop Loughlin

held its fifteenth annual Lion/Lancer

Open Golf Outing at Middle Island

Country Club. Despite the weather,

145 golfers participated in this year’s

outing. It was a smashing success

thanks to Bishop Loughlin and St.

Augustine alumni and friends.

Even with clouds and gray skies, our

registration area welcomed golfers as

they made their way up the hill from

the country club’s parking area to the

clubhouse, with smiles on their faces

ready to face the day and hopefully

even go home with prizes. Golfers

checked in, picked up their goodie

bags, which contained an assortment

of things such as colognes, lotions,

golf balls, a cooler and more, and

then headed into the clubhouse where

they enjoyed a continental breakfast.

For many golfers, just the joy of

meeting with their old classmates

and receiving their goodie bags made

the day get off to a great start.

The shotgun start was at 10:30 am,

and with it our golfers were off to

their assigned holes and greens to

begin their fun-filled day. As the day

went on, the clouds gathered and it

began to rain. After about a half hour,

the rain subsided and our golfers

headed back out from the clubhouse

to brave the elements once more

with the hopes of completing their

18 holes. Unfortunately, a few hours

later it began to rain again and most

foursomes were only able to complete

12 holes of golf. Although the rain

had dampened their clothes, shoes,

and golf bags, everyone refused to

let the rain dampen the high spirits

of the day. The staff at Middle Island

Country Club moved up cocktails

and dinner an hour earlier with ease

and once our golfers dried off, they

convened in the upstairs dining room.

Throughout the cocktail reception

and dinner student volunteers, most

of whom were 2011 graduates, sold

raffle tickets to participants. During

the dinner ceremony, attendees heard

from John Klemm ’65, Director of

Development, as well as Br. Dennis

Cronin, FSC, President of Bishop

Loughlin. Both thanked everyone

for their continued support of this

event, as well as their support

of the students and teachers at

Bishop Loughlin. Several prizes

were raffled off, including items

such as golf clubs, cash prizes, golf

bags, and alumni merchandise.

We would like to give a special

thank you to our event sponsors,

staff and student volunteers,

and our faithful attendees to this

event. We look forward to seeing

familiar and new faces at our 16th

Annual Golf Outing in 2012!

McDonnell!

Bishop Loughlin Welcomes Back Alumni For Its 28th Annual Reunion

On Saturday, October 16, 2010, alumni

came back to their alma mater for their

high school reunion. The day began

with Mass, followed by an anniversary

suite for the Class of 1960, while other

reunion attendees enjoyed an all-class

alumni reception in the cafeteria. The

ceremony. During the ceremony, John

Klemm ’65, Director of Development,

Meet the Hendersons

Loughlin has had the unique opportu-

nity to educate generations of young

people. Once such story is that of the

Hendersons. This family has invested

in sending their 4 children to Bishop

Loughlin. Three of the siblings, Janele

‘04, Ozzie ‘08, and Jaylen ‘11, have all

graduated from Loughlin. The similari-

ties don’t end there however. All three

also maintained perfect attendance

while attending school from their

formative years. If that wasn’t enough,

they have all been stand-out students

while attending Loughlin, representing

Loughlin as excellent student athletes.

While Janele led the Lady Lions in

basketball, Ozzie and Jaylen excelled

in track and field. As juniors, they all

received the James Bonilla Award,

which honors two juniors who have

added to the high school experience of

others by their participation in athletics

and other extracurricular activities.

During their respective senior years

in Loughlin, Janele, Ozzie, and Jaylen

were all awarded the Nugent Brothers

Award. This award honors the athletic

achievement of John ‘40, James ‘43,

and Robert ‘47 (deceased) Nugent and

is given to two seniors who exemplify

Christian character and outstanding

athletic achievement.

The youngest of the Hendersons,

Christian, is on track to fill the big

shoes his older siblings have left for

him to fill. Christian will begin his junior

year at Loughlin this fall.

Cozzi-Murray Performing Arts Center

& Lancer Music Studio Opens

A dedication ceremony for the

Cozzi-Murray Performing Arts Center

& Lancer Music Studio was held on

Sunday, April 10th. At the opening,

students performed for an audience of

alumni from Bishop Loughlin, Bishop

McDonnell, and St. Augustine High

Schools.

Michael Murray ‘63, and his wife Jane,

a Bishop McDonnell alumna, for

whom the center is named, maintain

a strong connection to their alma

maters. “These schools were very

good to us in terms of our growth and

our development,” he said. “One of

the things that Bishop Loughlin and

Bishop McDonnell taught us is to help

others. And what better way to give to

others than to give to the high school

that taught us those values.”

Jim Flaherty ‘65, St. Augustine High

School was the master of ceremony.

He serves on the board of governors

for Bishop Loughlin and volunteered

to help raise money for this project.

Nearly 100 alumni from St. Augustine

donated and raised $150,000.

“The logic behind this was to provide

a music facility that existing students

can take advantage of for their musical

talent and to give Bishop Loughlin a

recruiting edge,” he said.

“I can’t even begin to explain to you

the honor that it was to play at the

opening,” said Alexandria Guy ‘11, se-

nior. “And just listening to the alumni’s

stories made me feel like I was part of

something amazing.”

Loughlin now hosts the Brooklyn

Philharmonic student competition for

high schools throughout Brooklyn.

This year, vocalists from Bishop

Loughlin received third place in the

competition. Louis Maffei, chair of

the arts department believes that the

new space will help current music

program expand.He would like to invite

professionals to use the center and

in exchange teach students. Another

plan he has for the center is to record

music with students from China to

expand students’ experiences.

RENOVATIONSRenovations at LaSalle Hall

The smell of fresh paint and the

sounds of a busy construction

crew echo the empty halls of

Bishop Loughlin’s LaSalle Hall the

boarding program sponsored by

Boys Hope Girls Hope. Renovations

are in motion to restore and give

the dorm rooms a new face-lift,

as well as the renovation of two

additional floors to accommodate

eleven new students this falls.

Bishop Loughlin Memorial High

School in partnership with Boys Hope

Girls Hope Foundation are preparing

to accept eleven more students to

the boarding program this year. The

program was only able to board

twenty-one students in the past. Due

to the success of the program and

the demand to help more qualified

under-served male students, the

expansion at LaSalle Hall became an

issue that both Loughlin and Boys

Hope Girls Hope wanted to address.

With the financial support from

the Loughlin Alumni Association

Foundation and the Peter Jay Sharp

Foundation, the project to expand

housing for more students became a

reality. The foundations contributed

$90,000.00 in donations, which made

the renovations to the third and fourth

floor possible. The school and Boys

Hope Girl Hope can now open the

program to more students in need.

“A boarding program for students who

will thrive in a structured environment

is not only consistent with Loughlin’s

mission, it enhances the mission.

Students can move from a structured,

pleasant living environment to a

structured, challenging academic

environment where the adults,

teachers and residential, share a

common vision which promotes the

students growth and development.

The support of the Loughlin Alumni

and Peter Jay Sharp Foundations

are really extending the reach of a

creative, innovative, and transformative

program.” Brother Dennis explained.

The construction commenced the

day after school was closed for

the academic year. A completely

restored third and fourth floor is in

full construction to make more dorm

rooms available by September. The

project will include new bathrooms,

dorm room expansion and an overall

upgrade to the living space at the hall.

“The construction of the 3rd and

4th floors is moving forward as

scheduled and has an anticipated

substantial completion date of August

26th 2011. Painting and flooring

is under way alongside of framing

and plumbing. No problems have

been encountered and none are

foreseeable,” says the Director of

Maintenance, Gerald Pointing.

LaSalle Hall, erected in 1881, is

a historic landmark, which once

housed Brooklyn’s first three Bishops,

including the high school’s namesake

Bishop John Loughlin. Later LaSalle

Hall was gifted to the De LaSalle

Christian Brothers, who were relocated

in 1932, for the first renovation to

convert the house into dormitories.

Today, the tradition to provide the

best Catholic education of Bishop

John Loughlin and the continued

teachings of the LaSallian Education,

“Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve”, still

resonates through the halls of LaSalle.

CLASS NOTESThomas Henry ’39 (R.I.P.) his family

sent us comments after he passed

away “he always cherished his experi-

ence at BLMHS. It was a very positive

experience for him and he had always

said that. Graduating in ’39, he was

present at his 65th anniversary reunion

(2004). In attendance were four (4) ’39

grads including his best friend, Frank

McDonald. In his living room over the

fireplace hung a photo that Tom was

very proud of including him and the

other three (3) grads from that 65th

anniversary.” (Ed. note: Francis (Frank)

McDonald died June 6, 2011)

John A. Farrell ’40 is 88 years old,

retired, and served as an Air Force

officer 1942-1946.

Ralph Mastoloni ’40 remembers

some great teachers – Brothers Albert,

Anthony, Francis, Thomas, Leo and

Matthew. He has moved to Greenwich,

Ct. as of July 2010.

Francis J. Murray ’41 is approaching

age 88 with reasonably good health,

but had to give up golf. He is looking

forward to a reunion in June 2011 with

his classmates of ’41. He says they

have been doing this every five years

since about 1966.

John G. Sweeney ’41 best remembers

Br. Albert and the tennis team. He

played second doubles. It was a good

experience traveling to Coney Island and

the Bronx on the subway for matches.

This year will be 70 years since they

graduated, and he would like to attend a

reunion luncheon once more.

Lawrence A. Schmidt ’42 (R.I.P.) his

family sent comments after he passed

away “he was retired – spouse Ruth –

8 children – 2 are deceased Kathleen

and Lawrence Jr. Loughlin was a

wonderful experience – great educa-

tion – super classmates and teachers

- Unforgettable.”

Mark A. McGowan ’43 after 60 years

he still has fond memories of Loughlin.

Most of all the Brothers – in particular

Brother James. He remembers Brother

calling him Marcus Aurelius. He had an

opportunity last year to visit Rome and

see statue of Marcus Aurelius on his

mighty steed. Very impressive! Best

wishes to Loughlin.

Francis J. Palamara ’43 says that

his 4 years at Bishop Loughlin from

1939 to 1943 were the years that gave

him the base for the rest of his life. He

learned how to study, how to live with

his fellow man with integrity and hon-

esty and it taught him how to compete.

The next 3 years were service in the

US Navy during 1943 to 1946 – World

War II. Loughlin gave him the prepara-

tion that was invaluable during those

years. He is proud to have been a

founder of the Christian Brothers Boys

Association that was the beginning of

Alumni relations for Loughlin.

Harold Thompson ’43 and his

late wife Virginia have 10 children

– 23 grandchildren and 4 great

grandchildren.

Hugh Horning ’44 has attended five

colleges and universities, but the

school that means the most to him

is Loughlin, when it was an all-boys

scholarship school of the Diocese.

He learned there that you could be a

scholar, be spiritual and still be a man!

Thanks to the wonderful examples and

dedication of the Christian Brothers.

He and his wife were married 60 years.

They had 6 children, 12 grandchildren

and 9 great grandchildren (3 more

on the way). He says they are indeed

blessed!

Gabriel M. Liegey, Jr. ’44 is a Deacon

– 6 months in Virginia, 6 months in

Florida. He still plays tennis and golf.

Henry Fairchild ’46 just celebrated

65th year as alumnus and 55th year

of marriage to Eileen. He is happy

that the LaSalle spirit still prevails and

not know whatever happened to his

reversible Loughlin school jacket but

he seriously does not think it would

fit. Every now and then he remembers

although he is a Franciscan Brother,

he has the greatest respect for the

Christian Brothers and lay faculty for

their obvious commitment to their mis-

sion of providing a catholic education

to the poor. Catholic schools do “get

it right”, but while ten catholic high

schools in Brooklyn alone have closed

(one moved to Queens!), Loughlin has

kept its doors open and continues to

of America. He feels that the gradu-

ates should never forget our roots!

MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD

“...the Board of

Governors and school

administration have

defined a Strategic

Plan for Loughlin that

confronts our issues

as a tution dependent,

Urban School.”

Dear Alumni/ae and Friends

of Loughlin:

Loughlin graduation, always a

joyous occasion, was particularly

inspiring this year given the suc-

cess of the Class of 2011. Our se-

niors did themselves, their families

and alma mater proud!! Through

their accomplishments, achieved

through dedication and hard work,

the members of the Class of 2011

are providing motivation and en-

couragement to Loughlin students

coming after them.

Over the last several years,

Loughlin’s administration and fac-

ulty have enhanced the opportuni-

ties and challenges of Loughlin’s

academic program, and our stu-

dents have risen to the challenges:

developing their talents and capa-

bilities, achieving academic suc-

cess and preparing themselves for

the rigor of higher education. The

“human and Christian education”

received at Loughlin prepares our

students for academic success as

well as success in living noble and

purposeful lives.

Inspired by our students and eager

to afford the benefits of a Loughlin

education to generations to come,

the Board of Governors and

school administration have defined

a Strategic Plan for Loughlin that

confronts our issues as a tuition-

dependent, urban school.

The plan aims to attain two goals—

Sustainability

Honoring and extending its 160

year heritage, Loughlin fulfills it

mission well into the future

School of Choice

Students and families Loughlin

wishes to serve have compelling

reasons to make Loughlin their 1st

choice for high school

Important milestones on the

road to Sustainability have been

accomplished through an agree-

ment reached with the Diocese

of Brooklyn to transfer the school

building and adjacent field to

Bishop Loughlin and to entrust

all governance responsibilities

for Loughlin to the Board of

Governors. These actions were

eagerly sought by the Board of

Governors and Brother Dennis,

and we are grateful to The Most

Reverend Nicholas DiMarzio,

Bishop of Brooklyn, The Most

Reverend Frank Caggiano,

Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn,

and Sister Angela Gannon,

Secretary for Catholic Education

and Formation, for their support

in achieving these outcomes and

for their confidence in Loughlin’s

future.

Certainly, there are challenges

to achieving the ambitious goals

set out in the strategic plan. And

the Board of Governors and

Brother Dennis are keenly aware

of dependencies that will influ-

ence our success, key among

them your continuing support for

Bishop Loughlin. Be assured that

your commitment to Loughlin is

necessary to achieving our goals,

and your generosity and support

are critically important to securing

Loughlin’s future. Through your

generosity the work of St. John

Baptist DeLaSalle continues at

Loughlin. Thank you for all you do!!

Sincerely,

Noreen McCartney Haffner,

BMMHS ‘63

Chair, Board of Governors

Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School values a structured environment as a

prelude to learning, growth, and the development of caring relationships ground-

ed in Christian values. The Lasallian tradition holds central the appreciation of

each student’s uniqueness and views the teacher as a minister of the Gospel.

Loughlin is a community of hope and stability for its students. Hope is fostered

primarily through caring adults sensitive and keenly aware of the struggles and

unique challenges of adolescence as experienced in urban America. Stability

is rooted in good order, clearly proclaimed and justly secured through sound

guidelines.

The curriculum and atmosphere of Loughlin are designed to meet a wide range

of student skills. Loughlin students are encouraged to develop fully their person-

al talents and are given opportunities to use them in service to others. Loughlin

provides an atmosphere where respect for both self and others will grow as

students meet with success, resolve personal conflicts and make responsible

decisions and value – choices.

Loughlin students grounded in a solid education and a unique Loughlin spirit are

expected to have profound respect for all people, to be generous in sharing their

gifts and talents, to make sound choices about the future, and to be positive

contributors to the growth and life of the community.

PLANNED GIVINGCreating a Lasting Legacy

Your planned gift can make a difference at Bishop Loughlin

Planned giving is a unique way to support Bishop Loughlin’s mission while help-

ing you achieve your financial, philanthropic and estate-planning goals.

Planned gifts give back, allowing you to take sizeable income, capital gains, and

estate deductions on your taxes. They can provide income for you and your

family for life. And planned gifts can be much larger than other gifts, so you can

leave a legacy that fits your philanthropic goals. Some options for planned giving

include bequests, charitable lead trusts, life insurance, IRA’s and securities.

If you provide for Bishop Loughlin in your estate planning or other form of

planned gift, you will become a member of the Justinian Society and receive an

archival pin. Br. Justinian, FSC, sixth principal of Loughlin, defended the prin-

ciples and ideals of Catholic education against biased factions in the 1870’s.

For more information, please contact John E. Klemm ‘65, Director of

Development at 718-857-2700 x2254 or jklemm@blmhs.org.

Planned Giving information and e-brochures are now available on our website at

www.blmhs.org. (Click on the Donate to Loughlin tab)

Meet Andrew Leary

In late May, Bishop Loughlin welcomed

a new member to the Alumni and

Development team. Andy has more

than fifteen years of fundraising,

development and public relations

experience. Most recently, he led

a foundation for a national nursing

education organization in lower

Manhattan for several years. Prior to

that position, he served as the Director

of Development at La Salle Academy

in Manhattan for ten years. He also

has spent time “in the neighborhood”

at St. Joseph’s College, serving as

their Annual Fund Director.

Andy’s experience in fundraising

and development at La Salle were

impressive as he led an annual

fundraising operation to grow more

than 300% over the course of his

tenure at the school. Andy was

responsible for planned giving, a

student sponsor program, the annual

fund, event planning, online giving, and

many other initiatives at La Salle. He is

excited to join our team and focus on

the development and implementation

of our major gifts fundraising program.

As the Director of Individual Giving,

Andy will be working with the

President, the Board of Governors, the

Director of Development and others

to help Loughlin raise sufficient funds

to guarantee a secure future for the

school. Goals will include continuing

to grow our endowment resources,

meet our capital improvement needs,

and improve our academic program

in a variety of ways. He is excited

to provide opportunities for Bishop

Loughlin alumni, St. Augustine alumni

and Bishop McDonnell alumnae to

support these areas of need.

In in his words… I believe strongly in the unique mission

of Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School. There are

few educational institutions in New York City that achieve

so much with few resources. The generosity of alumni

and friends make it possible for the students at BLMHS

to meet and exceed all expectations and what they thought

possible. I am proud to have a role in this process and I

look forward to meeting the many alumni and friends

who help ensure a successful future. The De La Salle

Christian Brothers have proven that their education model

is second to none, and I am proud to be a part of the living

mission that happens each day at 357 Clermont Avenue.

Why I Give: Stephen Nuccio

Stephen Nuccio, class of 1969,

reminisces about his years at Bishop

Loughlin Memorial High School.

His memories are still beautifully

vivid, of the years spent attending

classes at his alma mater. Stephen

still recaps special school events,

names his favorite teachers and

friends as if he were still standing

next to his locker shuffling textbooks

and preparing for his next class.

“Loughlin provided me with a good

foundation in which I felt I could excel

at anything. I have great memories

from my Loughlin experience.”

Stephen took full advantage of the

classes and activities Bishop Loughlin

Memorial High School had to of-

fer during his four years in school.

He recalls his memberships in the

National Honor Society and the Math

Club, and being a member of the Math

Team, the Student Senate, the Alumni

Club, and the Public Speaking Club.

He also participated on the Student

Council Patrol and with LaSalle

Ministries; but still had time for intra-

mural sports all four years at Loughlin.

After graduating from Loughlin with

honors, Stephen Nuccio attended City

College of New York and graduated

with a BA in Economics and went on

to get his MBA at Baruch College.

“Loughlin was my second fam-

ily. They took care of me.

Sometimes I think too well!

When I went off to college I missed

that family feeling I had with my

teachers and friends. But I was

completely prepared academically

for the challenges faced in college

and I am truly grateful to Loughlin.”

Stephen is leaving an endowment

to Bishop Loughlin Memorial High

School, because he links his suc-

cess and good work ethics to his

Loughlin experience. He has worked

for over 29 years at Guardian Life

Insurance Company but has retired

due to personal disabilities and now

resides at his home in Hicksville, NY.

“I wanted to give to other families

that are economically challenged,

like my family was when I attended

Loughlin. If I can ease the finan-

cial weight for incoming Loughlin

students and their families it will

fundamentally change lives.”

Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School Annual Report 2009-2010 27
