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

he hustle and bustle of the holiday season has ended and we are settling into the “quiet” of winter. As we start the second semester, our winter sports are competing, our theater production of Disney’s Newsies is gearing up, and a host of other activities are underway. Calvert Hall truly is a 24/7 campus. We acknowledge the blessings God has bestowed on us thus far this academic year. For the third consecutive year, the competition marching band won a national championship. Our athletic teams have had success. Our football team won their fifth straight Turkey Bowl over Loyola Blakefield. We are now setting our sights to the 100th year game. Our students continue to shine in and out of the classroom. Some of our Robotics teams have already received invitations to the VEX Maryland State Championships. Our Speech and Debate team has been competitive, and our It’s Academic team is gearing up for the taping of the show later this month. We have so much to be proud of yet know we must strive to get even better. This issue of The Cardinal focuses on excellence. In particular, we highlight several students who have mastered skills in a variety of areas. John Baptist de La Salle was one of the first to call for the education of the whole person. At Calvert Hall, we view education as spiritual, intellectual, social and physical. The young men featured, as well

as so many more of our talented students, are succeeding in their endeavors well beyond the classroom. During the spring, we will release our new strategic plan for Calvert Hall that will take us through the next five years. This plan will serve as our guide as we enter our 175th Anniversary during 2019 – 2020 academic year. We will celebrate our many accomplishments while also challenging ourselves to seek greater excellence. We can do this, remaining true to our Lasallian Mission, with your help. There is still more to be done. I look forward to working with you to continue to make Calvert Hall a school of excellence based on faith and Lasallian values. Thank you for your support and all that you do. Go Hall!! Live Jesus in our hearts . . . Forever! Sincerely,

Brother John Kane, FSC, Ed.D. President

CAMPUS MINISTRY

Service Trips Habitat for Humanity (below left)– Each summer eight students from NDP and eight students from CHC join together to help a community on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Students help with a Habitat for Humanity build and work in a migrant worker community in Exmore, VA. During reflections, there are discussions on an array of social justice issues. Lasallian Youth Gathering - The Lasallian Youth Assembly is an annual gathering of over 120 students and teachers from many of the Lasallian High Schools in the Eastern United States. Participants gathered on the campus of Manhattan College in Riverdale, New York for a week centered around the Lasallian concepts of Faith, Service, and Community. Students work at service sites, participate in and lead prayer services, are given talks by speakers, participate in discussions about service and justice, and build community among other schools by spending time with one another.

Campus Ministry offers students numerous opportunities to take time from their busy academic and social lives for prayer and reflection. Campus Ministry offers numerous service trips, immersion trips, and opportunities to be involved within the walls of The Hall.

Opportunities Within the Walls of The Hall Adopt-a-Family (above) – Our students helped make the holidays merrier for needy families throughout the Baltimore area by way of our annual Adopt-A-Family drive. Our students, faculty, and staff “adopted” 62 families and ensured each family member received a minimum of four gifts. Food Drive – Our annual Thanksgiving Food Drive brought in a record 19,263 items. These donations went to local organizations including Paul’s Place, Our Daily Bread, Beans and Bread, Women’s Housing Coalition, and Artesanos Don Bosco, which all work to serve the hungry and homeless in Baltimore.

Immersion Trips Baltimore, Maryland

The Baltimore Service Immersion trip offers an opportunity for students to gain greater insight into the realities and concerns of people who are materially poor and/or experiencing homelessness in Baltimore. Our trip taps into the educational disparities that exist within the city of Baltimore and how that has a lasting effect in the community.

Browning, Montana

Students experience a part of the country that is both scenic and unique while living on a Native American reservation. This immersion trip is an established program with a strict timeline including prayer services, reflective/processing time, service in a middle school, and presentations on Native American life.

Camden, New Jersey

Calvert Hall partners with the Romero Center providing a serviceimmersion retreat experience in one of America’s most impoverished cities. The Romero Center provides meals, evening reflection experiences, and speakers. Additionally, the Romero Center sets up service opportunities for our students. In the past these opportunities have included Habitat for Humanity builds, working at nursing homes, serving meals at homeless shelters, etc.

Port Au Prince, Haiti (above right) Calvert Hall travels to College Saint Jean Baptist de La Salle in the Cazeau section of Port au Prince, Haiti. Students run a camp for elementary school children throughout the day and in the afternoon students visit different parts of the city, meeting different locals in an effort to understand some of the issues and problems Haiti faces as well as to discover the deep-seated joy and hospitality of the Haitian people. This trip challenges students to examine third-world poverty and explore poverty in their own lives. Benque Viejo, Belize

Calvert Hall travels to the small border town of Benque Viejo del Carmen, Belize. Through a connection with SOLT Ministries (Society of Our Lady of the Holy Trinity), Calvert Hall students take part in a weeklong service trip. The trip consists of structured prayer, reflection time, work within primary schools in the area, participation in a local Belizean high school youth group, and learning firsthand about the struggles of a developing country. The students also learn about the history of Belize and visit the Mayan Ruins of Xunantunich.

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 the school newspaper and yearbook.

CLUB SP OTLIGHT

Y e a rb ook The Yearbook is responsible for producing the Cardinal and Gold, the school’s yearbook. This year’s publication will be the 98th volume of the Cardinal and Gold, which includes information about all students, faculty, staff, sports, and activities. Pages include various candid photos of students and faculty from throughout the school year.

N e wspa pe r The Hall is Calvert Hall's student-run newspaper that chronicles and examines the life of the school. A group of 25 students with a wide range of talents -- writers, editors, photographers, and graphic designers -- work together after school to produce print and web content focused on major events, student achievements, and opinions. They publish 5-8 full sized editions in color throughout the year and update the paper's website with additional content: www.thehall.calverthall.com. Each issue starts with editors gathering to pitch article ideas before meeting with the rest of the club to divide up work. Writers work independently to conduct interviews and create drafts while photographers capture events during and after the school day. The editors connect all the pieces of the puzzle through Lucid Press, an editing program that allows multiple users to organize the paper's layout across multiple pages of one unified document simultaneously. Over the past few years, the editors have traveled to a variety of conferences to improve the work they do and learn from professionals in the field of journalism. These opportunities have included the University of Maryland Journalism Day and the National Scholastic Press Association Conference in Dallas (2017) and Chicago (2018). Thanks to these learning experiences, students are eager to work on adding two new initiatives to the club: recording podcasts and publishing a news magazine.

Students meet multiple times a week to craft and edit stories, find and layout pictures, and proof pages before final publication. By participating in yearbook, students learn the joys of graphic design, the nuances of photography, the struggles of meeting deadlines, the frustrations of copy editing, and the joys of creating a professional and consistent publication. Their work not only serves current students and faculty in remembering the events, activities, and particular individuals involved in the school year, but also becomes a permanent part of Calvert Hall’s history, which can be looked back upon with pride and fond remembrance. This year, the yearbook’s editor, Colin Romanowski ‘19, attended the National High School Journalism Convention in Chicago, Illinois. For three days, Colin attended keynote speeches and sessions about club organization, the final published product, and the importance of school publications. Through the valuable conference experience with professionals in the field and students around the country, Colin brought back ideas how to improve the publication and meet the standards of peer institutions' publications. The club is moderated by Eileen Giordano (Foreign Language) and Dan Maloney (English).

Mr. David Hallman '08 (English) is the moderator of The Hall, having worked as a writer and editor for the newspaper when he was a student.

FACULTY

“

STAFF

One of the five core Lasallian Principles is Concern for the Poor and Social Justice. All Lasallian schools call members to an awareness of the poor and its victims of injustice. At Calvert Hall, many faculty and staff members volunteer monthly alongside students at Beans and Bread and Sarah’s Hope. In addition to these service opportunities, several faculty and staff members volunteer their time and talent in the community. In this issue of The Cardinal, we are pleased to highlight a few of our faculty and staff members, where they volunteer, and why they feel called to do so.

I believe it is important to help those in need.”

Margie Forbes (Advancement ) has prepared bags of food for those in need at the St. Joan of Arc’s Good Samaritan Food Pantry once a week for the past four years. The pantry provides food for individuals and families in need of nourishment as well as financial assistance to supplement rent and electrical bills.

Renie Brown (Mathematics) is actively involved in The Church of the Nativity in Timonium where she serves as a Welcome Minister at the Next Steps booth. Renie has volunteered for numerous mission trips including one to Appalachia (Brenton, WV), a two-week service opportunity focused on home rehabilitation. All four of her children have participated in mission trips to Nigeria, Kenya or Haiti. Renie also serves as a small group leader for young adults ages 19-30. She has helped with several local missions’ ministries at Baltimore Station, First Fruits Farms and in the Govans neighborhood.

“

I enjoy helping those getting their feet on the ground in the USA.”

“

VOLUNT

“

I have put in hundreds of hours at church because I believe it is our calling to engage in service and to spread the Gospel message in as many ways as we can.”

Stephen Hooper ‘77 (English) tutors people who want to learn how to speak English through his church. He tutors 8-week session with each meeting being 90 minutes in length.

I volunteer for ASA because of the direct impact my volunteering has on ASA’s Athletes. By running with ASA I provide ASA Athletes with the experience of not just competing in a mainstream running event but also the chance to experience what it is like to be a part of a team. While the WingMan Program is designed to help ASA Athletes, I believe the ASA Athletes have helped me way more than I have helped them.”

Joey Maranto ‘12 (Advancement) volunteers with Athletes Serving Athletes (ASA). ASA helps disabled athletes participate in mainstream running events, 5ks, 10ks, marathons, and triathlon. Joey is a WingMan Captain, assisting ASA athletes as well as other ASA WingMen, during training runs and races. He has volunteered with this organization for the past two years.

NTEERS Dave Hallman ’08 (English) volunteers with Helping Up Mission which provides a range of recovery opportunities to men experiencing homelessness and/or addiction. During the summer, he tutors young men working towards completion of their GED. He also volunteers with Back on My Feet (BoMF), a nationwide service group that combats homelessness through running. He has been running with the BoMF's Team since the fall of 2017.

“

I go on morning runs throughout the year to keep in touch with my students. It's an easy (and false) temptation to think that our work as Lasallians is limited to 8102 La Salle Road. If that were the case, our city would be a lot further along in the healing process than it is. When my classmate Sebastian Dvorak '09 was murdered, I realized I was doing nowhere near enough to serve our neighbors in need. Returning to Helping Up Mission and joining Back on My Feet have been a start in the right direction.”

For the past 15 years, Nichole Regulski (Advancement) has been a member of St. Stephen School and Parish. Nichole and her husband, Mike ’93, have volunteered to better their kids’ school and parish. For ten years, she has been the chair of the basket bingo which raises approximately $10,000 in one night for the school. Nichole has been the president of the Home and School Association for two terms and the School Board for four years. Nichole, Mike, and their son, Dennis ’19, have volunteered countless hours to the annual St. Stephen’s carnival. Nichole currently serves as the co-chair for the parish’s capital campaign.

I firmly believe that if you give and do more than you can, your heart will be full. And as parents, we can only hope and pray that our children follow in our footsteps and do the same.”

Charles Motsay ’76 (Science) is serving his second year on the Saint Phillip Neri School Board and is a member of the finance subcommittee. He also served for more than 15 years on the school board at Saint Ursula School.

“

It gives me great joy to witness his efforts and perseverance. He is a pleasure to work with and he has been a gift to me.”

“

I believe in the Catholic Identity of our schools as a priority within the Archdiocese of Baltimore and that the mission of evangelization and discipleship must be nurtured at the elementary levels in order to build up our faith communities with individuals who cherish Catholic values and live out the Gospel message.”

Maria Salvatore (La Salle Program) volunteers with the Dyslexia Tutoring Network working with a tenth grade student every week for one hour at the Parkville Library. She has worked with this student on decoding and reading comprehension for over a year. The student began learning to read in the 7th grade. A few months ago, he finished reading his first book aloud. He is now reading a young adult novel by James Patterson.

Br. Leonard Rhoades (Religion) has volunteered with Catholic HEART Workcamp for the past 3 years in Oil City, PA; Odensburg, NY; and Ashville, NC. For over 20 years, Br. Len has traveled with students from Philadelphia and Washington, DC to Cumberland, Maryland to rebuild homes for needy families through the Interfaith Consortium of Western Maryland. Br. Len also paints homes and works with children at a Bible camp in the Dominican Republic through West Catholic Preparatory High School and Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. He also serves in Guatemala with Catholic Relief Services and Maryknoll, educating teachers about the Church’s missionary work.

“

I volunteer because it is my nature to go in peace to love and serve the Lord.”

< The Cardinal | Winter 2019

Cardinal SpOtlight Calvert Hall is home to extremely talented students and alumni. The Cambridge Dictionary defines talent as, “a special natural ability to do something well.” This issue’s Cardinal Spotlight showcases three students who are passionate about their talents and taking their craft to the next level.

Marcus “Braeden” Boyle ‘20 What inspired you to pursue lighting? At my previous school (Jemicy Middle School), the performing arts was always something I greatly enjoyed. I was able to perform in High School Musical in 7th grade, and the Wizard of Oz in 8th grade. The show director for both shows introduced me to the lighting system. She then taught me how to turn lights on and off, change colors, and move them all with the press of a button. From this moment, I was hooked. There even was a point where I would sneak into the booth at my old school, just so I could learn more. What has been one of your favorite projects to date? One of my favorite projects was definitely Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. I felt like it was our first true opportunity to showcase our brand new lighting system. Getting to see the faces of people sitting in the audience when the different lights were moving, changing colors, and more, is a memory that I will never forget.

What has the experience been transitioning from hot lights to LED? The transition from our old lightning system to our new LED light system was amazing. Before we received the lighting upgrade, provided by the Knott Foundation, we only had about 20 lights that we could hang on the catwalk. This often left dark spots on the stage. The old lights would could only display one color of our choosing. You would have to place a color filter in front of the light to get it to stay that color. The lights were extremely hot. In order to move or re-angle the lights, we would need to wear welder gloves to prevent any burns to our skin. Now with these new lights, you can choose any color you can think of, and if you need to go move the lights, welder gloves are no longer required. The LED lights are cool to the touch and are higher quality than what we had before. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? I truly do not know if I want to make a career in lighting. My time at Calvert Hall has provided me the opportunities to “shadow” at events such as the Firefly Music Festival and other large events and music festivals. Through these experiences I have been able to talk to some knowledgeable professionals and gain a better perspective on lighting as a potential career path.

Rishibrata "Rishi" Biswas '19 What is your McMullen project, and what inspired you to select that topic? My McMullen project aims to improve the precision of a self-driving vehicle using a branch of applied mathematics called Control Theory. The vehicle I used in my project is a robotic chassis, which is essentially a four-wheeled car that can either take commands from a remote controller or go into self-driving mode. The problem with the selfdriving mode is that the robot always brakes exactly where I want it to stop and then coasts an inch or so beyond that point. To keep the robot from coasting, I programmed a controller that brakes the robot before it reaches its target, making it stop exactly where it is supposed to. The tricky thing is figuring out how much the robot should brake to make it stop exactly at that point. I determine the right amount to brake in a process called tuning. I was inspired to select this as my McMullen project because I had seen real-life autonomous vehicles, such as space rovers and self-driving cars, operate with little error, and I wanted to apply that to my own robot. By constructing and programming Control Theory onto a simple platform, I hoped to learn more about it so that I could apply it with my peers in robotics. How did you get involved with the youth Baltimore Symphony Orchestra? What was it like performing at the White House in December? I got involved with the youth BSO through by auditioning for a spot in my sophomore year. I wanted to join it because it would

give me the experience of playing advanced, orchestral music alongside talented musicians. When I got into the youth BSO as a sophomore, I was able to play pieces ranging in tone from RimskyKorsakov’s somber Russian Easter Overture to Marquez’s upbeat and colorful Danzon No. 2. As a senior, I now play in a wider variety of groups, including a full orchestra, a small, five-member chamber group, and a Holiday Ensemble. I performed at the White House with my Holiday Ensemble, and I got to play festive music for visitors passing through and take a tour of the White House afterward. The Holiday Ensemble really sounded fantastic there, as our instruments blended well in the halls of the White House, and a few of the security guards thought our playing was so good that it sounded like a recording. Above all, I enjoy playing in the youth BSO because their standards push me to practice hard, which has improved my clarinet performance skills. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? Ten years from now, I see myself either getting a graduate degree or working as a robotic engineer. My dream is to work on robotic space exploration for NASA, and I hope to one day have a leadership position there. I can also see myself keeping music as an active part of my life, as it always serves as a good escape from the hustle of daily life. Whatever path I take, however, I know that I can rely on my experience, hard work, and those I trust to guide me in finding my true vocation.

Alex Brune ’20 What inspired you to become involved in videography? At a young age, I found that shooting videos enabled me to create memories. Some of the first videos I shot were with my cousins - we shot talent shows, “epic fails” videos, interviews - we did it all. We would collaborate and plan storyboards. These memories inspire me to continue creating videos. What has been one of your favorite projects to date? By far, some of my favorite projects have been for the Theatre Department, especially creating the show trailers. They give me a chance to be creative and apply my show knowledge of the upcoming production. I don't think I have a “favorite” project, but each project brings many new opportunities and challenges. Another program I enjoy working with is Campus Ministry. I loved working on the "One for H a l l " T h a n k s g iv i n g video because it involved a diverse group of people. I worked with Brennan Kelly '19, Mr. Clark, and Mrs. Kamp for two weeks leading up to the video shoot making sure that all 50 people

participating in the shoot, felt welcomed and able to connect to each other in a unique way creating a powerful memory. I loved the transparency each person brought to the shoot causing it to have a big impact on our Calvert Hall community. When and how did you decide to create your own company? I started Brune Digital Media (BDM) using the slogan “Creating Content with a Purpose.” I want to make videos or graphics that have true meaning behind them. BDM allows me to work with others and create a team atmosphere. Right now, a lot of the work I am doing is geared towards the Church of the Nativity and Calvert Hall. In the future, I hope I can work with others schools, churches, and companies to create content with a purpose. I also hope I can continue to work with the team that has assisted me with numerous Calvert Hall projects. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? I have a lot of dreams for the next ten years. I hope to earn a degree in digital media with a focus in marketing. I would like to keep running my digital media company, hire additional employees, and continue creating videos showing off purpose and passion.
