Headmaster’s Message

Dear Fellow Alumni, The response to our last issue of the Epilogue has been overwhelmingly positive. The out-standing efforts of our new editor, Mike Dokas ’08 have not gone un-noticed. Thanks, Mike! Many others have assist-ed in important ways in produc-ing our newly designed Epilogue. Here at Devon, Ms. Rosalie Lom-bardo, our Director of Public Rela-tions is a key source of material for publication. Mr. Matt Simon, our Director of Alumni Relations, also helps to gather informa-tion for us. Please keep both of them in mind any time you have any Devon related information to share or to obtain. Our Alumni Association President, Barry Mulhern ’72 co-ordinates many of the efforts which are involved in making our newsletter the quality publication that it is. Jim McClatchy ’82 has been a tremendous help to us in getting this newsletter printed and at a cost which is very reason-able. In recent years there has been a tremendous growth in the development our Alumni Asso-ciation. Thanks, Barry! In earlier years some of our alumni com-plained that they only heard from the school when we were solicit-ing funds. As the Headmaster of a school which greatly depends on the generosity of our benefac-tors, I have almost certainly been guilty of causing some of the neg-

ative perception which I have just mentioned. However, with the amazing num-ber of alumni events which now take place every year, that former negative perception has been changing. Our Alumni Asso-ciation has provided many links for alumni networking, providing financial and social re-wards for our alumni. Our graduating se-niors (future alumni) are addressed every year by a series of suc-cessful alumni who share their expertise with the graduates. Many of our alumni have hosted get-togethers for fellow alumni. Many useful business contacts are made at these get-togethers, a not insig-nificant point in these difficult economic times. Our graduation speaker this year will be Dr. Tony Coletta ’71, who has earned an outstand-ing reputation during an excep-tional career in medicine. Most recently, Tony has performed life-saving work among the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. More info on this, as well as a lot of other interesting items about the Devon Prep Family, can be found on your favorite website, devonprep.com. Finally, some more good

news to share with you. On 27 March we celebrated the ordina-tion to the priesthood of our Pia-rist seminarian Brother Nelson Henao, Sch.P. Father Nelson teaches religion in our Middle School and is one of the most loved members of our Devon Prep faculty. May God bless you and your loved ones, now and always.

Cordially,

Rev. James J. Shea, Sch.P.Headmaster

Fr. Negrillos

ter, Rev. Stephen Senye, Sch.P., asked Fr. Negrillos to join Devon Prep’s faculty as a Spanish teach-er. He continued to do so until he retired from classroom teaching in 1982. Fr. Negrillos then served the school as the manager of the bookstore until 1996. To many of the young men attending Devon at that time he was known as “Fa-ther Bookstore.” For many years Fr. Negril-los also served as a weekend assistant at St. Ann’s Parish in Phoenixville. According to Rev. James Shea, Sch.P., “In the school’s history, Fr. Negrillos was the longest serving member of the Devon Prep Piarist community. He was a member of our commu-nity from 1957 until his death on Saturday[Jan. 2, 2010], a span of more than 52 years.” Clergy, friends, alumni and alumni parents attended his viewing on Tuesday evening, Jan-uary 5, and Wednesday morning, January 6, at St. Mary’s Chapel on Devon’s campus. Fr. Negrillos’s funeral Mass was celebrated on Wednes-day, January 6 at 10 A.M. in Devon Prep’s gymnasium. Principal cel-ebrant of the Mass was Rev. Rich-ard S. Wyzykiewicz, Sch.P., the superior of the Piarist Community at Devon Prep. Several Piarist Fa-thers from the United States Prov-ince were also concelebrants. In-

Rev. F. Negrillos, Sch. P. 1917-2010ev. Ferdinand Negrillos, Sch. P., a Spanish teacher for 25

years at Devon, died Saturday, January 2, 2010 at Regina Nurs-ing Center in Norristown. He was 92 years old. He was a Piarist Fa-ther for 68 years. Fr. Negrillos was born in Logroño, Spain on May 30, 1917. As a young man he was educated by the Piarist Fathers and later at-tended the Piarist Fathers’ Semi-nary in Spain where he studied philosophy and theology. After his ordination to the priesthood on June 7, 1941 he taught in sec-ondary schools in Aragon, Spain for several years. In the early 1950’s Fr. Ne-grillos was sent to New York City to serve in a Piarist Mission. In 1957 Devon’s first Headmas-

terment was at Calvary Cemetery in West Conshohocken.

Alumni Speak to Class of ’10

Senior Seminar

very year, the Alumni Association brings several alumni back to Devon to address the senior class. The goal of these talks is to

give the soon-to-be alums a different perspective on what’s to come, and to provide some advice on what’s ahead, both in college and be-yond college. The first of such talks this year was given by Dr. John Bennett ’67, who graduated from St. Joseph’s University, and then went on to study medicine at Hahnemann Medical School. Dr. Bennett now owns and operates a group of international companies, with a particular focus in China. Dr. Bennett encouraged the seniors to keep an open mind as they enter their collegiate careers. “Look at all there is around you,” he said. “You don’t have to look far away to figure out what you want to do. Keep an open mind. Look outside the box,” he continued, “figure out a way that you can make life better for people.” During the first week back in the new semester, recent alumni from the Class of 2009, Andrew Bellwoar, Ben Limoges, and Neil Mo-erman, came back to Devon to share their experiences in the first year of college. Andrew Bellwoar, now attending Penn State, spoke about the advantages and disadvantages of attending a large public university, while Ben Limoges, a student at Tufts University, talked about his ex-perience at a small, private school. Neil Moerman talked about parti-pating in an intercollegiate sport. While attending three vastly differ-ent schools, all agreed that once they visited, they felt that it was the right fit.

Alumni Receptions

Alumni Assoc. Hold Receptionsn January, the Alumni Association hosted two evening recep-tions welcome to all alumni. The first reception was held at

Blue Pacific, in King of Prussia. Located in the King of Prussia Mall, Blue Pacific serves a wide variety of Asian cuisine. Blue Pacific is owned and operated by Class of 1990 alumnus, Andrew Hu. The second reception was held the following Thursday at Brauhaus Schmitz, also owned by a Devon alumnus. Doug Hager, Class of 1996, opened Brauhus Smidtz last year on South Street in Philadelphia. Brauhaus Schmitz is an authentic German Bierhall and restaurant. Both receptions were well attended, as alumni caught up and paged through old yearbooks, while enjoying delicious food and drink. Fr. Shea and Fr. Rich were in attendence at both events, sharing stories and reconnecting with former students. Alumni As-sociation President, Barry Mulhern, was also on hand with Director of Alumni Relations, Matt Simon, to welcome those alumni who were in attendance. Thank you to Andrew and Doug, for working with the Alumni Association to make these two events possible.

Alumni Spotlight

Devon Alumni Donate Time and

ony Coletta ’71 was attending a leadership conference in

San Francisco when a 7.0-magni-tude earthquake rippled through the streets of Port-au-Prince, Hai-ti, on January 12, ripping down buildings, rattling street corners, and entrapping Haitians under-neath levels of concrete and cor-rugated steel. A general surgeon who had been doing volunteer medical work for three years at a small clinic not far from Port-au-Prince, Dr. Coletta immedi-ately felt the impulse to help. So he shipped his suitcase back to Philadelphia, grabbed whatever clothing he could to fill a small duffel bag, and, with $600 in hand, hopped on a Red-Eye flight from San Francisco to Santo Do-mingo in the Dominican Republic. By 1 p.m. Saturday, January 16,

Epilogue8

Dr. Coletta was in a car careen-ing across the Haitian border, ul-timately en route to that small clinic outside Port-au-Prince. As the rest of the world stood frozen in the aftermath of the Haiti quake in January, trans-fixed by harrowing images seem-ingly streamed incessantly on ca-ble news and online, three Devon alumni— Dr. Coletta, along with Paul Browne ’72 and Bill O’Neill ’69—were mobilizing to speed re-lief and aid to the Haitian people. Dr. Coletta, executive vice president and chief medical offi-cer of the Holy Redeemer Health System, had the means to get to Haiti right away. The small clin-ic, in Croix de Bouquette, about five miles from Port-au-Prince, is operated by Christian Services International (CSI). With a spon-soring organization and a certain destination, Dr. Coletta was able

to avoid logistical hassles that proved to be the bane of other relief organizations just after the earthquake hit. By Sunday, he was seeing injured patients at the Community Hospital of Haiti in Port-au-Prince. “This hospital was inun-dated . . . it was a continuous wave of patients that needed my attention and the attention of the other doctors there right away,” said Dr. Coletta. “You just have to focus on one patient at a time.” Indeed, scores of Haitians flooded the hospital. In a desper-ate attempt to do as much as they could with the finite supplies and little equipment they had, Dr. Co-letta and the CSI volunteers were forced to prioritize patients, mark-ing them off “1,” “2,” or “3” with pieces of masking tape. “What was complex was making the decision how to allo-cate the resources,” said Dr. Co-letta. “Who could get treatment and who shouldn’t? In some cas-es, the better treatment was to just allow someone to die and let the resources go to someone else . . . That was far more difficult than any kind of complexity of surgery.” Treatment for Haitians with life-threatening “crush” inju-ries was virtually impossible. “Haiti was a very broken

country before the earthquake, and this is why you have more than a quarter million people killed,” said Mr. O’Neill. A human rights lawyer with extensive expe-rience working for the United Na-tions, Mr. O’Neill was dispatched by the U.N. to Haiti a few weeks after the earthquake. Since mid-February, he has been helping to coordinate humanitarian assis-tance in Port-au-Prince. “The situation is much more complicated than other di-sasters,” said Mr. O’Neill. “The ‘WMDs’ in Haiti were buildings. There was no control over the quality of construction, no zon-ing, no land use planning—people died because buildings fell on them.” For those relegated to watching the disaster unfold on their television screens, it might have been difficult to understand how a people could persist amid such devastation. But for Mr. Browne, the Haitians’ persistence was no sur-prise. “The Haitian people are among the strongest, most resil-ient people I’ve ever met,” said Mr. Browne. “They are so used to deprivation and suffering that they’ve developed a well of pa-tience and persistence.” For 17 years Mr. Browne and his wife had worked as Protes-tant missionaries in Haiti through CrossWorld, a missionary orga-nization that coordinates relief

efforts and sends volunteers to 29 countries worldwide. In early March, Dr. Browne returned with a team of volunteers to Haiti’s northwest coast, doing whatever relief work was needed in one of Haiti’s rural provinces. Going forward, all three men have plans to return to Haiti in the coming weeks and months, either in a professional or volun-teer capacity. According to Mr. O’Neill, the first priority for the U.N. and for relief organizations on the ground in Port-au-Prince is provid-ing housing for Haitians uprooted in the January quake. “You have more than a million people living out on the streets in public parks, with no toi-lets, very limited access to clean water . . . they’re not [in] tents, they’re not [in] shelters. Their ‘homes’ are just jury-rigged with plastic, sheets, [and] clothes, on sticks,” said Mr. O’Neill.

But, like Dr. Coletta and Mr. O’Neill, Mr. Browne knew what Haiti was like on a good day, with-out the devastation of an earth-quake to contend with. “Physical existence is des-perate,” said Mr. Browne. “Most people are employed day by day. There is not a lot of economic se-curity, no safety net other than re-lationships.” Indeed, the power of rela-tionships is the one force main-taining the spirit and hope of Hai-tians and international volunteers alike. “Right after the earth-quake . . . everybody else [was] stuck at home wanting to do something, but not being able to,” said Dr. Coletta, who leaves again for Haiti on April 17, this time with a team of 18 doctors and nurses. “It was a gift for me to be there.”

The Annual Fund is a yearly appeal for contributions to support the current operations of the school, and it is a critical part of Devon Prep’s fundraising efforts.

It is money donated by trustees, parents, alumni, alumni par-ents, grandparents, and friends to provide additional resources to enrich the educational experiences of our students. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of providing a Devon Prep education. Tax-deductible Annual Fund gifts are a vital source of revenue and a strong Annual Fund helps to keep tuition affordable.

Gifts to the Annual Fund are powerful because they go to work immediately and benefit every student, every day. Your gifts support scholarships and financial aid, professional development for our faculty, technology, athletics and classroom materials. For more information about the Annual Fund or to make a donation contact Jean Emhof, Director of Development at 610-688-7337, or [email protected]

It is an easy way for you to make gifts both large and small. All you need to do is specifically mention Devon Prep as a beneficiary in your Will or Trust for either a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your total estate value. The Executor of your Will or the Trustee of your Trust will carry out your wishes and make sure this gift is made directly to Devon Prep. General bequests made to the school are presently being placed in the Devon Prep Endowment Fund, but you can specify how this type of gift should be used by the school if you so desire. Please note that these gifts are deductible for State Inheritance Tax and Federal Estate Tax Purposes.

We ask that all individuals remembering Devon Prep in their Wills or Trusts contact the school so that proper records can be kept and so that the donor can be recognized as a member of the Calasanctian Society. The Calasanctian Society is comprised of individuals making charitable gifts to Devon Prep through their Wills or Trust documents.

1,000 Point Club

Senior Jeff Hughes joins the ranks of the 1000 point club

n February 16, 2010, Jeff Hughes scored his 1,000th point, becoming the first play-

er since 1996 to join the 1,000 point club. It was just a few weeks earlier when Jeff scored his 131st 3-pointer, becoming the all-time leading 3-point scorer in school history. Scoring 1,000 points has long been something that was talked about within the walls of Devon according to Hughes, but

it wasn’t until sometime last year when it became a distinct possi-bility. “People have been joking around about it since my sopho-more year. I always thought it was funny, but sometime in my junior season someone asked but wasn’t kidding anymore and it hit me that maybe I could do it.” Scoring 1,000 points isn’t s o m e t h i n g that is done every few seasons at Devon, but rather every few decades. Being such a huge event could place tremendous pressure on a player. Hughes didn’t feel any such pressure. “I never thought about any pressure to score 1,000. The pressure was always on winning games, but at Devon there was tons of hype from my classmates, they were always asking if I was going to make it.” The fans and students of Devon were all pulling for Jeff to join the exclusive club. “They wanted me to make it and the game I did it everyone knew it was happening, the gym was packed, there were signs and everything to make it a great time.”

After scoring his 1,000th point, Hughes joined only four oth-er players in school history to have done such a feat. Joseph Dona-hue was the first player in school history to have done this in 1966. Christopher Turner was the most recent before Hughes in 1996. Hughes now has his place among Devon basketball greats secured.

“Being the small group of five that it is, it feels great to know I’ve accomplished something re-ally elite at Devon and nice to know that I’ll always have

something to show for all the work I put into it. Everyone that comes in the gym sees the 1,000 point banner hanging up,” he said. “To be up there is going to be really cool.” Scoring isn’t the only thing Hughes does. According to Head Coach Bill Frio ’74 he is the ulti-mate player. “Not only can he shoot the three, but he can drive to the bas-ket really well,” Frio said. “And he doesn’t just score. The best thing about his game is that he passes the ball. When you have a point guard who can pass and score it makes for a great team.”
