Preparing for Life’s JourneyWe all invest a great deal of time and energy in counting down to milestone occasions in our lives. The Class of 2012 began their countdown to graduation in

early January, while the 25th and 50th reunions classes began planning their gatherings last fall. Now that the quiet of summer has settled onto the campus, we can look back on the journeys that led to Commencement and Reunion weekend in May.

Before they walked across the stage on Commencement day, members of the senior class read thousands of pages, took hundreds of exams, wrote countless research papers, and prepared for many class presentations. They also devoted long hours to Christian service projects through Campus Ministry. Along the way, they formed relationships with people in

communities close to home and far away, and they came to understand what they have in common with the poor and the marginalized in our world. Throughout all of these experiences, in the classroom and in the wider world, our faculty urged the Class of 2012 to excel and these young men responded.

When the Gold Eagle Class of 1962 and the 25th Reunion Class of 1987 gathered on campus, we all felt proud to see how they have woven the ideals and values of St. John’s Prep into their lives. They include a physician who travels on medical mission trips to Nepal, where he is the only doctor many there ever see. They include a parish priest near Boston, who has served as a missionary in Ecuador and founded a faith-based volunteer program for high school and university students. They include a lawyer, who serves as New Hampshire’s attorney general. They include a veteran of the Vietnam war, who is a restauranteur and serves as honorary consul-general of Thailand. They include

a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, who went on to a successful career in business and gives back to both of his alma maters in myriad ways. And they include a Prep graduate, who came back to teach at the place where he learned so much. These diverse journeys reflect the faith, wisdom and brotherhood that have enriched the Prep campus since our founding in 1907.

We feel blessed to celebrate these Commencement and Reunion milestones as a community. The legacy of success, service, and faith embodied by our students and alumni give witness to the vibrancy of the Xaverian values that animate our identity as an inclusive, Catholic, Xaverian Brothers sponsored school. As the Class of 2012 moves on and takes a piece of St. John’s with them, we look forward to celebrating their future milestones and welcoming them back to their alma mater.

The Spirit of St. John’sCompassion, a willingness to serve, and a commitment to excellence are just a few of the gifts that PJ Fallon ’12, recipient of the Xaverian award this year, shared with the Prep community. With a big heart and easy smile, he could be seen throughout campus assisting with a host of activities from Student Council and retreats to Best Buddies and the swimming and diving team. “PJ is always willing to lend a hand, and he is a fun presence in and outside of class,” said German teacher Chris Lynch. “He connected with classmates, read emotions well, and was very empathetic – a real people person.” It was a natural fit for PJ to take such an active role in campus life. His parents, Peter ’74 and Nonie, were co-presidents of the PREP Parent Council, and his brother, Wills ’07, led the way with his own involvement as a student. The highest honor a Prep graduate can receive, the Xaverian Award is given to a student who models the values of Xaverian education – compassion, humility, simplicity, trust and zeal.Xaverian Award recipient PJ Fallon with his parents, Nonie and Peter ’71.

Gentlemen and ScholarsThe bumper sticker, Valedictorian Joshua lang told his classmates at Commencement, is a ubiquitous form of self-expression. But in the case of St. John’s, it signifies the unique brotherhood that defines the Prep experience. “As we head off to college, we may add new college stickers to our cars [but] … we are not going to cover up the Prep sticker … as we discover new pieces of identity, we do not cover up our old Prep values.” In addition to earning academic distinction at St. John’s, he was honored as a semifinalist in the United States Presidential Scholars Program. President of Future Problem Solvers and active in the Science League and Math Team, he acted as a mentor to fellow students through Eagles Wings and the Sophomore Retreat program. Joshua will attend Dartmouth College in the fall.

Creative and intellectually curious, Salutatorian matthew Hammond excelled in every area of academic life at St. John’s, from math and science to languages, literature and writing. “Matt is a remarkable young man,” says AP English teacher Sheila Jones. “He has an innate sense of refinement in both his intellect and character. He instinctively carries the learning experience beyond the classroom, shows great integrity in all his work, and possesses a genuine respect for others.” A gifted clarinetist whose taste runs from contemporary to classical, he played in the Chamber Orchestra and served as president of the Woodwind Club at St. John’s. He will attend the University of Pennsylvania.

Pomp and CircumstanceLike the academic regalia and colorful hoods worn by administrators and faculty, the ceremonial mace reflects the dignity of Commencement exercises at St. John’s.

A centuries old weapon that later became a symbol of authority in academia, the mace made its first appearance at St. John’s in 1982, when the Class of 1982 presented a custom crafted mace in honor of the school’s 75th

anniversary. Brian O’Loughlin, then faculty moderator for the Student Activities Council, asked Fr. Robert Moorhouse, a Trappist monk at Saint Joseph’s Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, to design and make the Prep mace. Philip mcmanus ’97, who is leaving his position as Dean of Admissions and Tuition Assistance at St. John’s to become principal of Saint Raphael Parish School in Medford, carried the mace to its place of honor in front of the Commencement dais this year.

open to Life’s Possibilities“Take time to live fully in the moment,” Commencement speaker anne Burridge exhorted the graduating class. With humor, honesty and insight, she described the detours and side trips that enriched her path to becoming an English teacher, and urged students to

stay open to the unexpected in life. “The irony of my story is that I had never consciously prepared for the various forms that my professional life took in those early years, yet I discovered so many new interests during this period of my life. And today, not only do my experiences … remain some of my most cherished memories, but they also have broadened my perspective as a global citizen and informed my abilities as a teacher. What we and you have been about here at St. John’s in thousands of visible and invisible ways during your four years on this campus … is the development of your self-awareness in recognizing and extending your spiritual, academic, artistic, and athletic gifts. As each of you follows his individual lodestar, wherever it may take you, may you one day feel that same sense of settled peace that comes with knowing that you pursued your dreams with all of the passion and wisdom with which you draped them.”

Value investing: a Reflection on our 50thTom Kelly ’62When I was a kid approaching my entrance to St. John’s, I was frightened by tales of the fearsome Paul DiVincenzo. Reliable accounts had circulated in my seventh-grade schoolyard that “Buster” was

the scourge of America’s youth, a disciplinarian, teacher and coach, who ruled the Prep campus with whips and chains. By the time I arrived, Buster had moved on to be athletic director, yet I trembled with ill-concealed anxiety for most of freshman year. The Prep was tough. So much homework, and so many really smart guys.

At the same time, I was finding challenge and encouragement from the Xaverians. Francis deSales, “the Good Brother,” ran our religion homeroom with avuncular sweetness. Columkille taught Latin with a Brooklyn twang while firing tennis balls around the room to keep us alert. Alexander guided us through English, convincing us that we were capable of great insight and appreciation. I carpooled with other dayhops, met residents during lunch and other short breaks, and began to grow into the Prep culture. About halfway through sophomore year, I began to think I might belong.

Though we were one school, forces tended to divide us. Academic tracking meant we didn’t encounter guys in different course groups during classes. A natural in-culture developed among residents and dayhops rarely cracked it. After school we all went different ways, whether for athletic competition or other pursuits like glee club and debate. So how is it that fifty years later we met so joyfully, free of division, all sharing a palpable sense of gratitude for a mutual and beneficial experience?

Maybe it is because what keeps us “bound together, aye forever” is far more powerful than what might have separated us then. The Brothers built us up from timid boys to emerging men on the pillars of religion, academics, and extracurricular pursuits. Within each were the seeds of values that became root stock for the character we were building – values that would endure, whatever else might change about us. St. John’s was “preparatory” not just for the rigors of college, but for forging a happy, productive, adventurous, and meaningful life. We were all proud to be from The Prep, and we united around that sense of shared identity.

On Saturday night, Brian Flatley rose to speak. He served for many years in Buster’s former role, and in describing his work to guide thousands of diffident boys on the path to confident manhood, Brian spoke with gentle affection. Like Buster, Brian embodied the spirit of love and high expectation with which the Xaverians challenged us in our day. The Prep has changed in many ways, but not at the core. It is still a “value investor,” offering boys the academic challenge and moral discipline to grow into knowledgeable, conscientious, and self-reliant adults. So it is fitting that our class “value invested “in return with a record gift to the Prep scholarship funds.

Tom Kelly lives in Washington. He graduated from Wesleyan University, and retired from a career at the Environmental Protection agency, where he was director of indoor air quality.

“Preparatory school life is really the union of prayer and study and play … Homework assignments, early morning Mass, lab experiments, Glee Club rehearsals, laps around the track, raking leaves in the autumn, athletic contests all … seem isolated bits, but when they are put together they form the mosaic of preparatory school existence.”

25th Reunion ReflectionMatt Kimble ’87My Saturday on campus started with a tour led by eight current students at the Prep. As they showed us around the school, one theme emerged repeatedly – the facilities sure had changed in twenty-five years. The tour started in a “smart room” in Xavier Hall in which notes written

on the board by a teacher can be instantly downloaded to student iPads. The top floor of Xavier Hall (which was condemned when we were there!) had been renovated to include flexible faculty and student space. The bookstore is four times the size and can no longer be single-handedly run by Brother Ed Bozzo, Brother Tim Paul or anyone else. There is now a Ryken Center for the Arts. The new A. E. Studzinski Library is twice the size of the old library, and offers infinitely better access to information.

So the students can now put on small productions in the DiVincenzo black box theater in Ryken. The athletes practice and compete on state-of-the-art fields. The computer rooms no longer glow with the green light of the Radio Shack TRS-80s. Community service now takes students as far away as Maine, Virginia, and Jamaica.

And yet others aspects of the campus and community felt timeless. Like the passion the tour guides had for the Prep, the camaraderie they shared with each other, their open commitment to a moral life, and the reverence with which they spoke about their teachers: Boyle, Carey, Dupre, Hussey, Klein, Meyer, Mackinson, Mathison, Paul, Roy, Santoro, and Walor.

The tones echoed the reverence I had heard Friday and Saturday night at our reunion gatherings. But there were additional names like Keefe, O’Loughlin, Bozzo, Sullivan, Glatz, Cimerol, Westfield, and Puccio. And even after 25 years, we still couldn’t utter the name “Flatley” without cautiously looking over our shoulder. We recalled how well they knew us, how much they challenged us, how they always expected our best.

And so we gathered for a weekend, coming from as far away as Maryland and California, to rekindle some of those old feelings and to repay a debt of gratitude to a school that had given us so much. Given all the changes, the school may very well be better than when we were there – it certainly has adapted with the times. But one point is non-debatable. The Prep continues to make Catholic education important and relevant, and is giving another generation of young men the tools, the moral compass, and the inspiration they need to succeed in the 21st century.

Matt Kimble is an associate professor of psychology at Middlebury College, specializing in psychological disorders and psychological trauma. a resident of Middlebury, Vermont, he graduated from Dartmouth College, and earned his master’s and doctorate from Boston University.

“We recalled how well they knew us, how much they challenged us, how they always expected our best.”

“In the course of my four years here at St. John’s I found camaraderie, friendship, the nice warm glow that comes with cheering Prep teams at football and basketball games, the feeling that both students and teachers were working towards a common goal. Summing it all up: I found the Prep experience a good experience!”
