The Official Magazine of La Salle College High School

E X P LO R E RFrom The HipOne of my favorite titles is “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”, the award-winning short story by Joyce Carol Oates. Although the plot has no connection or correlation to La Salle College High School, the title certainly applies to changes and developments at the school over the last few years.

I remember my father telling me stories about La College High School students who occupied the second and third floors of Wister Hall on the campus of La Salle College in the late 1950’s. In 1960, the school made the historic move to a new building located in the rolling hills of Wyndmoor. As a student in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s, I experienced firsthand a school that was head and shoulders above the rest; however, never could I have imagined the La Salle College High School of today.

Over the last twenty years, the school has acquired adjoining properties and homes – Alumni House, Dunleavy Center, and Allinson House – have created a bona fide campus. In September of 1993, St. Michael Hall opened. The five-level addition featuring the McShain Library and state-of-the-art classrooms brought art and technology to the forefront of the school’s curriculum. Nine years later, the West Wing was built and provided much needed space for music and athletics.

In 2004, the Board of Trustees adopted a Strategic Plan that identified the key needs and priorities of the school over the next five years. The Board’s vision and overall commitment to the school’s mission launched Fulfilling The Promise, a $25 million capital campaign for land acquisition, construction, renovations, and financial aid.

In 2007, the school acquired the 34-acres adjacent to Route 309 and Paper Mill Road. Shortly thereafter, the land was developed into Ward Field, a baseball complex that rivals some minor league ballparks, along with McCarthy Trail, the Brother Gratian of Jesus Environmental Center, and two additional practice fields for football, soccer, and/or lacrosse.

In the spring of 2007, construction began on a 40,000 square foot, four-level academic wing that houses a counseling center, campus ministry area, study commons, two laboratories, six classrooms, and a technology center. At the center of the new addition is the Marian Chapel, which for the first time, provides a dedicated place of worship within the school. Upon completion of the new wing, renovations began to McLean Hall. All of the original academic areas were sequentially renovated as were the administrative areas. New walls, ceil-ings, floors/carpeting, windows, HVAC, etc. brought new life to an aging building. The final pieces of equipment moved out in late August and 1,069 boys moved in on September 9, 2009. The facilities that these boys occupy are nothing short of magnificent. Visitors stand in awe of new buildings and the technology operating within. Nothing is outdated and everything shines, including the faces of the faculty and students.

I walk the hallways and grounds and marvel at our accomplishments. La Salle College High School has a long and storied history – one that makes us proud of what we have and where we have been. Where are we going? Let’s just say that the vision is clear and the future is bright. More importantly, it is a future in which everyone will want to have a part.

Fulfilling The Promiseby Christopher M. Carabello ’82 page 3

At the inaugural Founder’s Gala held in April of 2006, La Salle College

High School launched one of the most ambitious initiatives the school

has ever undertaken. The $25 million capital campaign, Fulfilling the Promise,

is the largest fundraising effort in the history of the school. The campaign is

aptly named after our founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle, and his promise to

educate young men of various backgrounds. The success of the campaign would rely

on support from the entire La Salle community and the results of these efforts

would benefit the school’s greatest asset – our students as a commitment to provide

the best possible education and facilities for these young men continues to be

at the forefront of the school’s mission and vision.

La Salle College High School is an institution rich in history and tradition. The “promise” is not limited to the mission of our Founder and, in fact, is evident every day. The dedication of our faculty and their promise to develop each student’s unique God-given talents. The commitment of the school administra-tion and their promise to foster academic excellence, service, and leadership. The faithfulness of our parents and their promise to provide their son(s) with the best possible education. The loyalty of our alumni and their promise to take ownership in the school’s future.

The “promise” is at the core our very being. In the 151 years since our founding at St. Michael Parish in North Philadelphia, our greatest resource has been our mission and vision and our willingness and commit-ment to share it with the entire La Salle community. Today, La Salle College High School continues to fulfill its promise by providing an education that consists of academic challenge, intellectual openness, emotional security, and environmental safety. It was fitting that Fulfilling The Promise be chosen as the name of this $25 million capital campaign.

Charlie Dunleavy ’61 assumed the helm as the initial Chairman of the campaign and was instrumental in soliciting gifts that allowed the campaign to reach $10 million. Al Gabriele succeeded Charlie early in 2008 as the Chairman of the Campaign.

Al recognized that like the first $10 million, raising the remaining $15 million would require focused leader-ship and the efforts of a dedicated group of individu-als. Over the course of the last eighteen months, the capital campaign has raised $20 million, which includes a major estate gift for endowment that rep-resents the largest gift in the history of the school and two seven figure gifts from alumni that provide nam-ing opportunities for the new baseball field as well as the Sacred Heart Courtyard.

The $20 million that has already been raised secures the land acquisition and development along with the construction of the new academic building and renovations to McLean Hall. Not only have the initial phases of construction been completed, but the projects are within the original budget. The remaining $5 million represents the funds that are needed to “fulfill” the endowment commitment to the campaign, which will provide financial aid and allow the school to keep its “promise” to remain competitive and provide an affordable education for all young men.

Al Gabriele continues to work tirelessly with the Office of Institutional Advancement and the Capital Campaign Committee to stay focused on the vision and the task at hand.

With very little corporate or foundation money available, the remaining efforts will rely heavily on contributions from alumni, parents, and other friends of the school.

Faced with the task of raising an additional $5 million, Al has expanded the campaign cabinet to include a number of individuals who will play a key role in identifying parents, classmates, and other alumni who represent a new pool of potential donors. Al will focus on major prospects and contributions, while the campaign cabinet will be charged with the solicitation of new donors as well as act as ambassadors for the campaign within the La Salle Community.

The campaign will begin the solicitation of all alumni, parents, past parents, friends of La Salle, foundations, and those people and parties whose philanthropic interests include a quality education. By waiting until 80% of the campaign goal has already been reached, the campaign cabinet can solicit from a position of

strength. In addition, the new fields and buildings provide recognition for both the campaign and the strategic plan and allow the La Salle Community to see the objectives that have already been achieved.

An appeal to the entire La Salle community has begun and the campaign cabinet is confident that the “ La Salle Faithful” will rise in support of these initiatives and continue to “fulfill its promise” to the school’s mission and vision.

The Capital Campaign Cabinet has begun to target various classes in an effort to organize class gifts. Individuals who would be interested in contributing to a class gift, soliciting gifts from classmates, or assisting in organizing their class, should contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at (215) 223-2350. Ad-ditional information on Fulfilling The Promise can be obtained from the Office of Institutional Advancement or by visiting www.lschs.org and clicking Support La Salle followed by Capital Campaign.

One of the most remarkable achievements of the campaign is that the $20 million has been raised from only two hundred gifts.

Redefining Leadership In 1982, La Salle College High School became an independent high school when it legally sepa-rated from La Salle University. This formal break was the culmination of a natural progression that visibly started when the doors of 8605 Chelten-ham Avenue first opened in 1960, and it marked the creation of the Board of Trustees. The author-ity and responsibility of the Board has evolved over the years, most dramatically over the past six years at the direction of the Provincial head of the Christian Brothers.

Until June 2004, the Chairman of the Board was the Provincial Head of the Baltimore District of the Chris-tian Brothers. In July 2004, a major milestone in La Salle’s history was set as Al Gabriele became the first lay Chairman of the Board. Al and his wife, Barbara, have two sons who graduated from La Salle (John ‘84 and James ‘87), and he served in leadership roles on the Board since joining it in 1998. Prior to his election as Chair, Al played an active role in the Forever La Salle Campaign, as Chair of the Development Committee, and participated in the planning process for the 2004 Strategic Vision. As Chair, Al’s leader-ship, during a critical period of transition, forged a new direction for La Salle and the function of the Board – which is exemplary among peer institutions. As part of the successful deployment of the 2004 Strategic Vision, Al guided the launch of the Fulfilling the Promise Capital Campaign, of which he still serves as Campaign Chair. Al stewarded the renaissance envisioned by the 2004 Strategic Vision resulting in

the new academic wing and athletic fields, and the total renovation of its existing academic facilities. Al’s term as Chair ended in June 2009 but because of his insight and management skills his impact on La Salle will continue into the future. In February 2009, the Members elected Ben Ventresca ’70 to be the next Board Chairman. Ben is a second-generation Lasallian (his father Ben, Sr. graduated in the storied Class of 1945) and was followed by his two sons Ryan ‘95 and Gregory ‘96. While their sons were at La Salle, both Ben and his wife Susan were actively involved in the school serving as Treasurers of the Men of La Salle and the Mothers’ Club for three years and co-chairs of LaSale in 1993, 1994, and 1995. Ben joined the Board in July 2001 and in 2003 chaired one of the four task forces in the planning process that created the 2004 Strategic Vision. His task force developed the current model for fundrais-ing, communications, and branding. Throughout the 2004-2005 school year he played a leading role in the reorganization and transition needed to achieve the current model. During the eight years leading up to his election as Chair, he served as Chairman of the In-stitutional Advancement Committee for four years and as Board Vice-Chair for two years. He has also served as one of the two Vice-Chairmen of the Fulfilling the Promise Campaign. Today’s Board of Trustees works in association with the Institute of The Brothers of the Christian Schools to define and protect the mission of the School in the tradition of the teachings of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. As envisioned by the Province, La Salle’s Board is a govern-ing Board of limited jurisdiction. This structure allows the Institute to sponsor the school and to perpetuate the Lasallian legacy through close association with the Trustees of the Board and the Administration.

Page 13: Explorer - Fall 2009

11 Explorer Fall 2009

The Board of Trustees is an active governing body that is comprised of twenty-nine men and women who bring unique expertise and perspectives to the challenge of leading and governing a progressive school that is guided by Roman Catholic principles and steeped in a rich Lasallian tradition and heritage. The interests of the Christian Brothers are represented by three senior Members of the Christian Brothers Community. The Chairman is elected by the Corpo-rate Members in consultation with the President and elected Trustees. The Trustees of the Board represent a melting pot of La Salle’s heritage. They include people whose love for the School stems from having been the child of a former graduate, a “Brothers’ Boy”, a past parent, a past teacher/administrator, or from a recognition of the importance of a Catholic Lasallian education in molding the men of tomorrow. These people share a passionate commitment to keeping the vision of De La Salle alive and relevant to young boys and their families for decades to come. La Salle’s Board is a working board. The work of the Board is primarily performed at the Committee level, and the purpose of the quarterly Board meetings is to elicit a discussion that draws on the skills and knowledge of the Trustees to address selective issues. The Committees officially meet four times a year, but through their task forces and sub-committees

individual Trustees meet on an almost-weekly basis. The four committees of the Board mirror its primary responsibilities and authority. They include: Finance and Property, Governance and Leadership, Institu-tional Advancement,and Long Range Planning and Mission. These committees work in concert with the administration, faculty, and staff as well as with other stakeholders as appropriate. As it embarks on a new Board year, in addition to the normal slate of responsibilities and issues that it will be addressing, there are two major initiatives that form its priorities. The first of these is the support of the suc-cessful launch and deployment of the Public Phase of the Fulfilling the Promise Capital Campaign. The second is the development of the 2010 Strategic Vision which will set the standard, and general road-map, for what La Salle will be in 2015. Both of these are critical to the long-range vitality of La Salle. La Salle College High School is an outstanding place of learning and growth whose history is surpassed only by its potential for the future. The Board seeks to foster that potential by governing with a keen understanding of the needs and interests of each of the stakeholder groups that make up La Salle. As the Board discerns the future of the School, it will continue to build upon La Salle’s great legacy and redefine its relevance.

This year saw a significant “changing of the guard” on our Board of Trustees as eight members completed their terms. La Salle College High School is most appre-ciative of the valued service of these men and women; particularly, Al Gabriele who served for six years as a trustee and then five years as the first lay Chairman of the Board.

Dear Alums and Friends,

As we begin our 151st year, we bring to an end two years of construction and renovations. I can assure you that everyone was happy to see the last pieces of equipment depart and the doors opened to our “new digs”. Our campus has been completely renewed and is ready to serve future generations of Explorers.

We would not have been able to break ground and embark on construction, were it not for the early financial commitment of a select group of 200 faithful and loyal supporters of La Salle College High School. Hence the pages of this publication contain not only information on our 2008-2009 Annual Fund, but also a snapshot of the extraordinary initial success of our capital campaign – Fulfilling the Promise. We still have a goal to reach, so I hope and pray that more of our faithful friends will show their support to the school and the campaign in the coming year to help guarantee the future success of La Salle College High School.

At the same time, your generosity has allowed the school to increase financial aid to families in need. The extra aid has been most helpful to families who desire a Lasallian education for their sons, but may not be able to af-ford one. Saint John Baptist de La Salle wanted education made available to all students and your support allows us to continue the mission of our Founder.

I am often surprised to hear from alums who say that they haven’t been back to the campus since graduation. I always encourage them to visit our campus to see how much we have changed over the years. Without fail, everyone who takes me up on this invitation leaves with a greater pride in their La Salle. When in the area, be sure to make a visit part of your plans.

La Salle has positioned itself among the very best in the Delaware Valley. Recognition of our academic success at a national level was evident in our selection by the Siemens Foundation and the College Board to receive the Siemens Award for student participation and performance in Advanced Placement math, science, and technol-ogy courses. La Salle was the only school in Pennsylvania to receive this honor. In addition, 83 students were recognized as AP Scholars (scoring a 3 or higher on three or more AP tests) and ten students were recognized as National Merit Finalists. The past academic year also saw La Salle as a leader in every sport by winning eight championships along with State Championships in Hockey and Lacrosse. Over 150 students received All-Catholic recognition and La Salle clearly established itself in its first year as a member of the PIAA.

In May, 252 graduates left our campus having earned over $26 million in college scholarships. These young men will be attending colleges and universities in 22 states and the United Kingdom. We wish them every success as they begin these next four years.

All of this would not have been possible without your support. I thank you for everything that you do in support of La Salle College High School. Please join me in celebrating these good things and thank the Lord for His bless-ings upon La Salle.

Sincerely yours,

Brother Richard Kestler, FSC ’60 President

Annual Report Of Giving

2008/2009

Page 18: Explorer - Fall 2009

16 Explorer Fall 2009

By virtue of the generosity of the greater La Salle community,

2008/2009 Annual Giving initiatives raised over $910,000 in support

of the institution. The 2008/2009 De La Salle Alumni Annual Fund,

coupled with this year’s La Salle Responds Initiative, raised the majority

of the funds in support of La Salle College High School.

In light of the economic landscape, we asked all of our alumni to make La Salle a

priority this year, and make a gift to the La Salle Responds Initiative to help

“Keep ‘em Blue & Gold”. This initiative proved to be exceptionally successful, and

it has allowed us to address and re-address many financial aid situations.

The Parent Annual Fund also once again drew strong support, raising over $130,000 in support of Profes-

sional Development. Also, there was once again great support from our internal La Salle community to the

Faculty/Staff Annual Fund, which supports the Student Emergency Fund.

In an effort to keep the cost of a La Salle education affordable to all qualified students, the school charges

a tuition that only covers 83% of the actual expense to educate a student at La Salle College High School.

The remaining 17% comes from various fundraising initiatives – primarily the De La Salle Annual Fund. Each

and every contribution has a real and immediate effect on our young men and their respective lives. We are

grateful for your continued support.

The names appearing in this Annual Report of Giving represent those individuals, families, and companies who supported La Salle College High School between July 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009. Contributions made to La Salle College High School after June 30, 2009 may not be reflected in this publication.

Dear Friend of La Salle,

“A successful team beats with one heart.”This unattributed quote succinctly describes our La Salle family as we pass from year to year. This past year has been remarkable for La Salle for so many reasons.

A student sells one more roll of wrapping paper…Just looking around the campus tells a story of accomplishment. Our students dedicate themselves to realizing their potential in the classroom, in the arts and technology, and in the forums of competition. Our faculty is recognized for the long-term impact they make on their students; our parents continue to amaze with their commitment and effectiveness; our Board and Administration are noted for their innovativeness and excellence; and our alumni continue to distinguish themselves on the world’s stage as well as in our hallowed walls.

A mom attends the Spring Fashion Show and a dad takes his son to Camden Yards…Speaking of hallowed walls, our campus stands as a testament to the vision of Saint John Baptist. These state of the art buildings, fields, and open spaces are living monuments to the commitment to educate the whole student, and to provide an environment in which young men can grow in their faith and discover their potential again and again.

An alum joins a foursome with his friends at the Annual Golf Outing…These accomplishments are earned by our students, teachers, parents, and all the stakeholders that make up La Salle –this is the single heart pulsing throughout the school. But the reality is that none of this happens without the lifeblood provided by the ever-present fundraising effort. While La Salle isn’t defined by its fundraising, it certainly is sustained by it.

A teacher places a bid at the LaSale Silent Auction…Your enthusiastic support of the Annual Giving Campaign, the fundraising efforts of the Mothers ‘ Club, Men of La Salle and the Alumni Association make more than “a” difference, they make “all the” difference. Your sup-port of the Capital Campaign is resulting in cementing the foundation on which La Salle will continue to build the future.

A friend calls to tell about a major gift that he/she wants to make to support La Salle’s future…On behalf of the Board of Trustees, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all that you have done in the past year and for all you will do in the coming months.

Sincerely yours,

Benjamin J. Ventresca, Jr. ’70 Chairman Board of Trustees

I support La Salle College High School in order to give underprivileged young men from the inner city the same outstanding educational opportunity that I was fortunate enough to experience. La Salle College High School and the Christian Brothers mean the world to me. Without a doubt, La Salle was and is the very best high school in the Philadelphia area. The Christian Brothers are the best educators and the most caring dedicated men I have ever encountered. Recalling my four years at La Salle brings thoughts of happiness and fulfillment.

We support La Salle College High School to enable deserving and qualified students to experience the same educational opportunities that we had as young men. Those opportunities in the unique La Salle educational environment, at both 20th and Olney and the “new” La Salle campus on Cheltenham Ave., which we experienced 40 to 50 years ago, gave us the tools, both academically and spiritually, to confront the diverse challenges of life. Today’s La Salle clearly demonstrates a continuing and very high standard of excellence across the board, in each of the key educational “need” areas of academics, spirituality, athletics and facilities.We were privileged to attend La Salle, and continue to support their educational legacy and the mission of the Christian Brothers, which is developing and educating the whole person with the hope and the earnest desire that individuals of limited means can continue to experience an exceptional Lasallian education.

Historically, for more than 300 years, Lasallian Institutions and the Christian Brothers, throughout the world, have meant devotion to education of the complete person as they carried out the life work of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Today, at La Salle, a diminished group of dedicated Christian Brothers and a highly effective school faculty carry on the tradition of a human and Christian education in a continuing and awesomely superb manner, an education that is a powerful enabler in converting boys to La Salle Gentlemen, and in preparing young men to address their future with confidence.

La Salle College High School is the embodiment, along with the highly effective Christian Brother’s leadership and participation, in the ongoing implementation of the Lasallian traditions at the very highest level.

in the Christian Brothers tradition that tries, in many, many ways, to

foster the development of better young men who will make a

positive contribution to our society. I support La Salle because I think it is

La Salle College High School shared a campus with La Salle College until the fall of 1960 when it moved from 20th Street and Olney Avenue to its present campus in Springfield Township, Montgomery County. The school was built on the on the former Belcroft estate of Clarence E. Brown and with the move, La Salle College High School remained in close proximity of the city, but had greater space in which to grow and develop. In 1992, the school began construction on a five-story academic wing that added a new library and information center (McShain Library), a computer center, a media broadcast center, a faculty work center and lounge, instructional classrooms, a lecture hall, and an art studio. The new addition was named St. Michael Hall in remembrance of the school’s humble roots at St. Michael Parish in North Philadelphia, where La Salle College High School first opened its doors in 1858.

In response to the needs of thriving athletic and music programs, the three-story West Wing was built in 2002 and houses a large ensemble practice room, instrumental instruction rooms, and a music computer lab. In addition, the facility is home to a state-of-the-art fitness center and a multi-purpose practice facility. In conjunction with the celebration of its 150th Anniversary, the school embarked on its most ambitious project in an effort to improve facilities. Three new athletic fields, an environmental study area, and a walking path were developed on 30 acres of adjacent land that was acquired in 2007. A four-level, 40,000 square foot academic addition now houses classrooms and science labs, a chapel, a campus ministry center, a counseling center, a study commons, and a second technology center.

Mary and I support La Salle for a number of reasons. I am appreciative of the quality and caring education I received and we are both grateful for the lifelong friendships that developed with so many classmates, Christian Brothers, lay faculty and staff. We wish to help other young men enjoy the benefits of a Lasallian education. La Salle College High School has become a home away from home for us. We have spent so many enjoyable days and evenings at the school that it truly feels like home. Each year we are impressed by the quality of young men who form the graduating class. Their accomplishments – in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and service – make us proud to be part of this tradition of excellence.

I support La Salle because it was the most important educational experience I have had in my career. I realized this when my nephew, C.J. ’11, told his parents that he wanted to go to La Salle because he had heard me say this to them. I never formally spoke to him but he understood that I recieved excellent teaching and a desire for lifelong learning at La Salle. I am proud to be in a position to help support the mission of the Brothers and the academic goals of educating young men and leaders of the future.

We support La Salle for a couple of reasons. As an alum, I have relationships with fellow alums going back to the early seventies and even further when I think that my brother started there in 1965. These guys are some of my best friends and form a network of people that have the common thread of being heavily influenced by the Christian Brothers which fosters a strong loyalty to each other. There is a solid core value theme that is also part of this experience which is reflected in family values and service to others. The Christian Brothers helped foster this. We also have had the experience of seeing our sons enjoy their time and seeing the same theme repeated. We have one son done and another in his second year. Those three years will pass too quickly, but the bonds will last forever.

My financial support of La Salle College High School is a continuation of my immediate and extended-family’s commitment to the school. A commitment which began with my older brother’s enrollment, followed by my own, and then several nephews. The rigorous curriculum, arts, and athletic pro-grams offered a learning experience we have come to appreciate. These aspects, supported by its Christian foundation, create a unique advancement experience for young men; one in which we want to advance.

What was great about my experience at La Salle in the 1980’s has only been improved with time. The support and friendship amongst administrators, teachers, underclassmen and upperclassmen was one of the things I loved about my time there, and this appears to remain unchanged. The facilities speak for themselves. The depth of the academic, artistic, and athletic offerings provides opportunities to all types of students. La Salle is such a warm and welcoming community, there is no better place that I could imagine sending my sons.

Our reason for supporting La Salle College High School could not be said better than our son’s own words. Before he left for his last deployment to Iraq, he sent a letter of recommendation to La Salle for a prospective student. In that letter he spoke of the many aspects of the school that were so influential in his life. He went on to add that with his responsibilities of leading our nation’s young men around the world he realized the power of his Lasallian education. Finally, he said how great it was to visit La Salle and to see the place and people that so greatly impacted his ability to lead and serve. Travis is recognized throughout the Marine Corps for his outstanding leadership and his selfless service to our country and mankind. La Salle was a big part of nurturing those foundational characteristics that allowed Travis to make a difference for others.

La Salle High School provided me with a great education and helped me to develop leadership skills through athletics and extracurricular activities. I also developed lifelong friendships with fellow La Salle Students and Faculty and continue to benefit from La Salle’s strong alumni network. I support La Salle financially in appreciation of the positive influence La Salle has had on my life. I also support La Salle so the school can continue its commitment to academic excellence and preparing young men for future leadership positions.

The 2008-2009 Faculty/Staff Annual Fund once again proved to be a very valuable initiative. Members of La Salle’s faculty and

staff contributed over $24,000 to the Student Emergency Fund. This fund was established to help students who may find them-

selves unable to pay for incidentals such as clothing, school lunches, transportation, field trips, yearbooks, or some other expense

deemed necessary for the good of the student’s La Salle experience. This outpouring of internal support to our young men is

truly a blessing. Thanks to the generosity of the following individuals, all students have access to the resources needed to be a

success at La Salle.

Faculty Annual Fund

I believe in heroes. Heroes are people on whose shoulders we stand and on whose actions we depend to give rise to our ambitions and to raise our expectations. Heroes are beacons who attract the best and serve as role models who encourage us to do more than we thought possible. Heroes are ordinary people who do extraordinary things which change the lives of others; often beyond their own intentions and sometimes beyond their own expectations. Every institution must identify and celebrate its heroes and when they find them they must put them on center stage.

La Salle has a true hero in Dave Diehl ‘55. His contributions over the past fifty years have shaped our identity, guided us into the 21st century and confirmed the path for our future. Throughout his entire professional life, Dave has given us his clarity of thought, his common sense, courage, compassion, loyalty, good humor and tough-mindedness as a teacher, counselor, coach, administrator, principal, parent, distinguished alumnus and Christian gentleman. More remarkably, Dave is still teaching, administering, coaching, counseling and serving as a role model for Lasallians with the same integrity and energy as when he came to us in 1960.

I support the La Salle Capital Campaign because I believe it is necessary for all alumni to step forward and recognize their La Salle heroes. This support will be more than symbolic; it will be a statement of reality that defines in no uncertain terms the best that we have to offer. It will send a resounding message that we expect excellence from ourselves and from each other. The values that our heroes personify are the qualities that are at the heart of the Christian Brothers mission. They are what we want to attract and develop in young men. They encompass the best of our past and present and raise the limits of our possibilities.

My La Salle has heroes. I support the La Salle Capital Campaign in honor of one La Salle hero. Does your La Salle have heroes?

The 2008-2009 Parent Annual Fund, co-chaired by Cathy Cassidy and Greg McLaren, raised over $130,000 in support of La Salle’s

Professional Development Fund. The Professional Development Fund, used by our faculty and staff to pursue post-graduate de-

grees and certifications, allows La Salle to attract and maintain the best and brightest from the teaching profession. The past and

continued growth of this fund is mostly attributed to the work of the Parents’ Advisory Council, whose leadership and dedication

have greatly impacted its success. We thank the following parents, whose commitment to and support of Professional Develop-

ment has proven immensely valuable to our faculty and staff.

We believe in the goals and ideals of a Christian Brothers’ education, which I received at La Salle College High School and both Susan and I received at La Salle College. It was an education that prepared us for life and an experience that allowed us to be successful. We feel that is important for us to give back so others can receive the same opportunity.

La Salle College High School means tradition, Catholic values, and an environment of caring staff and teachers. We support La Salle because of the long tradition our extended family has in attending La Salle and in memory of Megan’s brother Steven. We also know that tu-ition does not cover all of the costs necessary to run the school and that additional financial support is vital to the running of the school.

49th Annual Alumni Golf Outing Monday, June 29, 2009

As an alum and the father of two sons who have attended La Salle, my experiences with both the school and the teachings of the Christian Brothers has been a guiding influence throughout my life. La Salle and the Christian Brothers welcome impressionable boys entering the school as freshman and through their teachings and spiritual guidance the boys are transformed into respectful young men with well defined spiritual values and morals. The fraternity that La Salle and the Christian Brothers nurture is one that lasts a lifetime.

We sincerely believe that all our gifts to La Salle College High School are not donations like gifts to community organizations, police, firefighters, even our local parish church for example. These gifts are clearly investments, the return on which is the educated and future leaders of the world, the students we graduate every year. That investment is clearly targeted according to the school’s needs; we know how our investments will benefit that objective because we have a clear and realistic vision of those needs. Our gifts, like all gifts, will benefit the present and future students, and continue the tradition of excellence achieved over many decades. It will help provide a broad and balanced Christian education in the tradition of St John Baptist de La Salle, the Christian Brothers brand of education, the brothers who become life-long friends and counselors to their students. There is an increasing attitude toward secularization in our country, and it is more important than ever that we help our young people provide the defense against this attempt, and La Salle is the right place to learn how to do that. Irrespective of the amount of our investment and gift to La Salle, we are confident that we will make a difference in the lives of the students.Al and Barbara Gabriele

Leaving the corporate world behind. While so many people dream about it, not many actually have the gumption to do it.

“My whole life I’ve been told ‘you have a great voice, you love baseball…you’ve got to do something about it’,” said Stoughton. “I figured, if I could get a job that pays me to go to baseball games, that would be heaven.”

Stoughton realized the jobs weren’t going to come to him, so he started calling around to minor league teams to see if there were any opportunities available. And after a year, nothing came of it.

But that didn’t stop him and with the 2009 season rolling around, he continued his pursuit, this time at a job fair for the Lakewood BlueClaws, the Single A affiliate for the Philadelphia Phillies.

“They weren’t looking for a PA announcer, but I figured let me take a crack at it and maybe somebody would hear me and they’d like my voice.”

And that’s exactly what happened. Stoughton’s booming baritone voice struck a chord with officials at the job fair and a few weeks later, he received a phone call and a job offer. No audition, no formal interview. Just an opportunity.

It turns out that the regular PA announcer for the BlueClaws, Kevin Clark, wanted to scale back his schedule, leaving half the season available. It was perfect timing for Stoughton.

The married father of three was offered 35 games, announcing batters, starting lineups, pitching changes, promotions, special guests and more.

“It’s a tight show we put on, but we still manage to have a lot of fun,” added Stoughton. “I knew this was going to be a blast, but I had no idea just how much fun this would be.”

The PA announcing job field is not exactly a burgeoning one, but Stoughton plans to keep pursuing his dream and hopes opportunities continue to arise. A recent visit with Phillies iconic PA announcer Dan Baker only reinforced Stoughton’s ambition.

“Consummate gentleman doesn’t even begin to describe him,” said Stoughton.

“I jokingly told Dan that I aspire to replace you. He said ‘I’ve been doing it for thirty-eight years and god willing I hope to do it another twelve to hit that fifty mark.’”

And after just half a season and with no formal training, Stoughton said he feels right at home in the booth and is ready to keep chasing the dream.

“It was surprisingly easy right out of the chute. I didn’t know if I would be nervous, but it’s almost like there is no time for the nerves to get a hold of you. Now, I’m really comfortable with it.”

Peter Sigmund ’85 received the Drexel University Harold W. Pote Behind Every Graduate Award for Excellence in Secondary School Teaching from the LeBow College of Business on June 13, 2009.

In an effort to acknowledge the influence of excellent teaching, Drexel University established the Harold W. Pote Behind Every Graduate Award to provide an opportunity for at least one such teacher to be recognized during their commencement. The university asked all of their graduating seniors to nominate a teacher that has made a difference in their lives. A committee of Drexel faculty and students then chose among those nominated. The recipi-ent exemplifies outstanding teaching, role modeling, and a commitment to students. Pete was nominated by Kevin Lutsch ’04, a former Lab Manager at La Salle and a business administration major who graduated from LeBow College of Business.

In his nominating letter, Kevin praised Pete for recognizing the importance of experimental learning. “Mr. Sigmund recognized that high school students could hone and develop their technology and people skills by participating in a technology team management program.” Due to this life-transforming experience, Kevin will pursue a career in technology consulting upon his grad-uation from Drexel. Kevin further stated, “Mr. Sigmund embodies the spirit of the Harold W. Pote Award. He guided me to choose Drexel for its cooperative learning experiences, prepared me for the challenges of a collegiate educa-tion, emphasized the importance of business principles, and continues to help students to succeed in college and life.”

Pete received a $2,000 prize and an additional $2,000 was donated Drexel University to La Salle College High School in the name of Pete Sigmund and Kevin Lutsch.
