OUR MISSION Calvert Hall College High School, a Catholic and Lasallian college preparatory school, prepares a diverse community of young men to achieve their full potential utilizing their unique talents. Through excellent academic and extracurricular programs, led by innovative and dedicated educators, our students become confident men with the ethical foundation to think independently and lead responsibly. Inspired by the faith and zeal of St. John Baptist de LaSalle, our students develop a respect for others as part of an inclusive, lifelong Calvert Hall brotherhood as Men of Intellect, Men of Faith and Men of Integrity. Calvert Hall College admits students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origins to all rights and privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at our school. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of our educational and admissions policies, scholarship programs, athletic, and other school-administered programs. Alumni news or information submitted by alumni of Calvert Hall College High School exists for the purpose of alumni-to-alumni communication. Publication does not signify endorsement by Calvert Hall or its sponsoring bodies. Calvert Hall is an independent, Catholic school for boys which upholds the teachings of the Catholic Church.

FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Alumni, Parents, Family and Friends,

rchbishop Samuel Eccleston, Archbishop of Baltimore, had a vision for an allboys’ school in the early 1840s. He wanted the school to be conducted by the Christian Brothers. Archbishop Eccleston called on a young Francis McMullen to travel to Canada to study to become a Brother. Not much older than our seniors who graduated in June, Br. Francis responded. Brother Francis founded Calvert Hall in 1845. Here we are 175 years later continuing the Lasallian legacy of a courageous Brother Francis who responded to God’s call. As we celebrate this year, we also continue on the journey of our next 175 years. We pledge to uphold the great traditions of The Hall and the Christian Brothers while also innovatively responding to the educational needs of the 21st century. The coming academic year will be one of celebration, beginning with a Mass at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen on Sunday, October 6 to honor our 175 years. Archbishop Lori will be our celebrant. Our 175th Anniversary Gala will be on March 21, 2020 at SECU Arena. At the gala, we will celebrate our history and recognize our newest Hall of Fame and President's Medal honorees who are identified in this issue of The Cardinal. There will be many other opportunities to celebrate over the course of the year. An exciting event during our 175th Year will be the 100th Turkey Bowl game against Loyola Blakefield. This is the longest running rivalry among Catholic schools in the nation. There will be a joint reception with Loyola celebrating the game and its history on Friday, October 11, at the Valley Mansion. It will be a great night of sharing stories and fellowship. For so many, Turkey Bowl is not just a game. It is an experience. It is a wonderful example of competition, sportsmanship and shared values that has lasted for 100 years.

As much as this 175th year is a time of celebration, it is also one of planning. Our new strategic plan will be formally launched at the end of the summer. It is a time to commit to continuing the excellent, college preparatory education that has long been our hallmark. This education is rooted in the Catholic, Lasallian values that have been the cornerstone of The Hall these last 175 years. Calvert Hall remains committed to providing education to a widely diverse population of students. Over the last 175 years, thousands of young men have been given the opportunity of a Calvert Hall education through the generosity of others who have gone before them. Let us continue this as we look to develop the next generations of leaders who are Men of Intellect, Men of Faith and Men of Integrity. Let us always, as our Founder St John Baptist de La Salle stated, seek to, “touch the hearts of the students entrusted to our care.” I am grateful for the support that we receive from alumni and friends to make this possible. May the remainder of the summer be restful and may you have time with your families. Live Jesus in our hearts . . . Forever! Sincerely,

Brother John Kane, FSC, Ed.D. President

The Cardinal | Summer 2019

Ninety-two per cent of Calvert Hall students participate in at least one club, activity, or sport. Students can join one or more of our 50 clubs and activities. This issue we explore It 's Academic and the Science National Honor Society.

CLUB SP OTLIGHT

S cience N ational H onor S ociety The Science National Honor Society (SNHS) is a world-wide organization that boasts nearly 1700 chapters in the United States, Puerto Rico and American schools around the world. The Calvert Hall Chapter was chartered in 2011. Since that time, more than 200 Calvert Hall seniors have been accepted into the society.

I t ' s A c a d e mi c Question: Name the longtime quizmaster of It’s Academic who hosted this longest running quiz show in television history every Saturday morning from 1973 to 2000? Answer: Mac McGarry Nearly fifty years ago, Calvert Hall first participated in the popular Saturday morning TV quiz show, It’s Academic on WJZ TV. The team was led in the early 70’s by a very young John Thaler who was a mathematics teacher at Calvert Hall for 46 years. With 81 schools participating, Calvert Hall’s team recently competed in the championship match against Centennial and Walkersville High Schools with the match being televised on June 22. Andrew Sontag ’19, Dean Cersini ’19 and Aidan Scible ‘20 represented Calvert Hall in all four rounds of play. Calvert Hall competed two other times in the championship match, first in 1993 and later in 2005 only to come up short on both occasions. In 1980, Brother Joseph Kines ‘62 was named the moderator of the It’s Academic team and he held that position for nine years. Michael Magrogan then took over the team in 1989 and had a highly successful run for 22 years, with the team winning many competitions and tournaments against schools in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and against schools across the state of Maryland. Upon Magrogan’s retirement in 2011, Stephanie Caldwell coached the team for the next two years, and since 2013, Richard Brown has been at the helm. In 1991, Magrogan and Brown formed the Catholic Academic League, with ten Catholic high schools competing throughout the school year. Today the League is still going strong with Calvert Hall consistently performing at, or near, the top. Calvert Hall was declared the League Champs for five of the past six years, winning an impressive 56 of 60 games along the way. No other school has come close to matching Calvert Hall’s performance over the 28-year history of the League. The It’s Academic team has always been very popular at Calvert Hall with over 30 students participating in the club. Most of the players begin in their freshmen year and remain with the team all four years. The team practices twice a week during the school year and participates in various competitions and tournaments. Questions during team practices and in competitions range from current events, to pop culture to all the academic disciplines, including literature, life sciences, world geography, famous people, world religions, American history and government. Students who excel in competition are generally well read, travel extensively, and take advanced courses. To be a standout, one needs to have an incredible memory with quick recall and enjoy learning and retaining trivia. The club is moderated by Richard Brown (Mathematics Department).

The purpose of the SNHS is to encourage participation in and recognition of scientific and intellectual thought. It is the process of thinking which offers significant insights into some of the major questions facing our world today. Everyone engaged in the wide array of scientific studies started out with a fundamental curiosity and desire to know more. Without a doubt, scientists are using inquiry and curiosity to make major contributions to the betterment of humanity. Within the high school setting, the SNHS works to advance students’ understanding of classical and modern scientific principles, and research methodologies while exploring innovation and envisioning the applications of science. Students accepted into the SNHS are encouraged to interact with members of the larger scientific community, participate in community service and inspire others in their pursuit of scientific knowledge. These highly talented seniors embrace the nature of science in their search for deeper understanding and exemplify a spirit of wonder and imagination upon which scientific knowledge grows. They are considered the next generation of critical thinkers who will be the leaders of industry, research, and scientific exploration for our world. To be inducted into the Calvert Hall Chapter of the Science National Honor Society each candidate must meet the standards for membership into the national organization and the specific chapter requirements. During the year, members of the Calvert Hall SNHS are involved in several activities. For the annual Red Cross Blood Drive, which is sponsored by the school, students recruit donors and assist at the event. Many students even volunteer to donate blood. Several times during the year students attend mini-lectures on a variety of scientific topics. Members serve as chapter officers, leading the activities and organizing events. Finally, members of the Calvert Hall Chapter team with students from the NDP SNHS complete two local community service projects called Project Clean Stream, which benefits regional efforts to keep the Chesapeake Watershed pollution free. The club is moderated by Charles Motsay ’76 (Science).

alvert Hall’s 4th Annual All Day Hall Day was extremely successful because of our supportive community. The Hall raised close to $250,000 from more than 1,000 donors. More than 25,000 individuals followed the day’s events on our social media channels. Ray Infussi ’84 was the top social media influencer helping to bring 57 visitors and 5 donations to the website. Christine Aspell came in 2nd place while Ann & John ’79 Lindner came in 3rd place. The most generous decade was the 80’s donating $29,920! The 80’s also had the highest participation with 116 gifts made. The 2000’s and the 90’s were close behind. Congratulations to the Class of 2006 for successfully winning the Lord Calvert Cup for the 2nd straight year. The Classes of 2013 and 2008 came in a close 2nd and 3rd place. The Lord Calvert Cup is a competition for classes 2004-2018 to encourage philanthropic participation.

retirees

ur faculty and staff celebrated the retirement of four amazing individuals at the conclusion of the school year - Cathy Thomas (Foreign Language), Frank Passaro '71 (Social Studies), Barb Citrano (Attendance) and Augie Miceli (Mathematics). We asked each individual what they will miss most about CHC and what they are most proud of during their time at The Hall.

“

Cathy Thomas - 37 Years What I will miss the most about CHC: The everyday pride I have in coming to work in a great place! I could not work with a better group of colleagues. I will miss working with Calvert Hall students. They are the best! What I am most proud of regarding my time at the Hall: I am most proud that Calvert Hall has only gotten better as each year goes by. I started in 1976 and I have been part of changes that have made us an excellent place to be for students and teachers alike. Personally, I am most proud of the institution and improvement of the language lab. We worked hard to get that facility and it has paid off in the excellence that our students have achieved in college.

Frank Passaro ’71 - 16 Years What I will miss the most about CHC: I will miss talking with my students about history. These conversations with future citizens have always been the highlight of my vocation. They will continue to be as I interact with young people in my retirement. What I am most proud of regarding my time at the Hall: I have been a Hallman since 1967, and I will continue to be until I take my last breath. Teaching students here has been an honor. These young men represent their families, school, and themselves in spectacular ways by their actions each day. I am proud of the way that they have learned to think and write historically in my classes. These skills will follow them into an uncharted future in which I am certain they will achieve great success.

“

Barb Citrano - 10 Years What I will miss the most about CHC: I will miss working with the students. I take pride in being able to help them with their questions and concerns, directing them to the proper channels such as school counselors or financial aid. What I am most proud of regarding my time at the Hall: I am always trying to give back. I enjoyed getting to know so many of the students and helping them to achieve their goals of graduation and beyond.

Augie Miceli - 60 Years What I will miss the most about CHC: In my 60 years of teaching at Calvert Hall, not a single day felt like work. What I am most proud of regarding my time at the Hall: I loved every day at The Hall. I enjoyed my time coaching, mentoring, and teaching. ** Shortly after retirement on Saturday, June 29, 2019, Augie Miceli, Sr., AFSC passed away after a brief illness. Charles Stembler ’82, Principal, shared, “Augie is the lived reality of our mission. He is a legend not only because of his length of service but also because of his commitment to making a difference in the lives of young people. He did what we all strive to do each day. His service to Calvert Hall is indicative of his care for all the students he taught and the many lives he impacted.” Brother John Kane FSC, President, expressed, “The Calvert Hall Community is deeply saddened and mourns the loss of Augie Miceli. For sixty years he has been a true Lasallian leader as a teacher, administrator, coach, mentor and friend. He is also the ultimate family man. His wife, children, and grandchildren have been a part of our community. I can think of no educator who leaves a greater legacy than Augie. John Baptist de La Salle, Founder of the Christian Brothers, told the first Brothers, ' The greatest miracle of you can achieve is to touch the hearts of the students entrusted to your care”. Augie lived this and touched thousands of lives over his time at The Hall. We were privileged to honor him earlier in May at his retirement party attended by hundreds. We will miss “Brother Augie', but we know his love and caring ways will continue making us better people because he touched our hearts.”

Cardinal SpOtlight The 2019-2020 academic year denotes two major historical events for the Calvert Hall community. On November 28, 2019, Calvert Hall will play in the 100th consecutive football meeting with longtime rival Loyola Blakefield. This Thanksgiving battle is the longest tenured Catholic high school football game in the country. Additionally, the 2019-2020 academic year marks the 175th anniversary of Calvert Hall. For 175 years, Calvert Hall has been providing excellence in the education to the Greater Baltimore region. To properly honor these two monumental occasions, Calvert Hall will be releasing two books – one dedicated to Turkey Bowl 100 (written by Nelson Coffin ’66) and one dedicated to the 175th anniversary (written by Bill Tamulonis ’76).

175th Book Excerpt Chapter 4 | Something for Everyone Were There Really Rock Concerts at Calvert Hall? They never reached the epic proportions of Woodstock or The Concert for Bangladesh (if you graduated after 1985, just Google those) but Calvert Hall’s commitment to the performing arts included hosting concerts by big-name performers. Motown superstars The Four Tops, multi-Grammy award winner Dionne Warwick, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members Little Anthony & the Imperials and Otis Redding, the King of Soul, all played at CHC during the 1960s.

of the gym and coming in through the upper windows. Needless to say, Brother D. John, the athletic director, was VERY unhappy.” Mayhem like that explains why the Badfinger concert would be the last show at Calvert Hall for 35 years. In 2008, Eddie Money & Felix Cavaliere’s Rascals headlined the Calvert Hall Concert for Tuition Assistance in the Marion Burk Knott Center. The event raised over $20,000 to help families in need of financial aid.

In 1973, concert promoter and alumnus Juan Diaz (Class of 1972) convinced Principal Brother Stephen Pleva that bringing another concert to campus would be a great idea. The student body voted for Badfinger, a British band conceived by Paul McCartney and adopted by George Harrison which, not surprisingly, sounded a lot like the Beatles. Mike Stackwick (Class of 1973) recalls that when the band drove their truck over the old baseball diamond (where the football stadium now exists) and got stuck in the mud, Mike and other student volunteers pushed them out so they could unload their instruments and amplifiers. Ticket sales were supposed to be limited to Calvert Hall students and their guests, but Juan advertised the concert on the radio which opened sales to the public, and the concert was oversold. Mr. LoPresto recalled that “We had minimum security—I think it was one guard with a half-dead dog. There were kids climbing up the side

TB100 Book Excerpt The 1970s “In many respects, the 1970s were just as tumultuous as the 1960s in regards to a changing cultural and political landscape. Buzzwords from the decade — Watergate, Earth Day, Kent State, Star Wars, Pentagon Papers, Microsoft, Roe vs. Wade, Arab oil embargo, Patty Hearst, Three Mile Island, Apple and the Iran hostage crisis — remind those who lived through those years of the magnitude of the events and their lasting impact on our current lives. Politically, the 70s boasted unprecedented moments that included the resignations of both Vice President Spiro Agnew and President Richard Nixon for different transgressions just 10 months apart less than two years after they were elected by a whopping 520-17 margin in the Electoral College vote. Alumni, students and faculty at Calvert Hall and Loyola felt the impacts of what was going on around them, yet the Thanksgiving Day game remained a constant and consoling moment on the fourth Thursday of November.

know his father (former Baltimore Colts lineman Joe Campanella) would be proud of him today.” In 1971, Dale Kohler had a similar outing to Campanella’s spree the previous Thanksgiving, gaining 141 yards on just 19 rushes while scoring two TDs in an 18-6 Calvert Hall triumph. Kohler’s future Johns Hopkins University lacrosse teammate, Franz Wittelsberger, returned an interception 45 yards for the Cardinals’ other score. Just like 1969 when Calvert Hall prevailed on Thanksgiving and Loyola still captured the MSA A Conference title, the Dons’ 12-6 triumph in 1972 could not prevent the Cardinals from claiming the title. Yet as anyone associated with the traditional battle knows, the only game that matters is on the fourth Thursday of November, and that year’s bragging rights went to Loyola. Quarterback Tom Bender, a 5-foot-11, 140-pound sophomore, orchestrated the upset of the the Cardinals, who had won all six conference games and were No. 1 in the Baltimore Sun rankings coming into the showdown. Bender and running backs Fran Wiegmann (33 carries, 119 yards) and Tim Doyle (83 yards) keyed a ball-control offense in the upset. Junior Vince Kinney scored Calvert Hall’s only TD in a 68-yard pass from Bill Popovec in the setback that also featured an interception by Calvert Hall defensive back John Unitas Jr.

Loyola recovered nicely from the devastating 17-14 loss in the 1969 game to the Cardinals and kicker Phil Marsiglia by leaning on a stellar performance from senior running back Joe Campanella, who rushed for 173 yards and scored three times in the Dons’ 18-7 victory the following year. Calvert Hall coach Joe Carlozo lavished plenty of praise on Campanella after the game, telling the Sun that “he’s an outstanding athlete and I

The following year, Calvert Hall returned the favor with a rugged running game that overwhelmed the Dons, who nevertheless kept the score relatively close even though Bender was knocked out of the game early with a dislocated elbow. Kinney and promising sophomore Steve Dorsey combined for 159 of 251 rushing yards for the Cardinals in a 14-6 victory in Carlozo’s final game as Calvert Hall’s coach.”
