COVER: The Class of 2012 forges bonds during senior community days.

Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas

WELCOME to Jesuit Today. In this edition, we celebrate our community’s diverse gifts, experiences and history.

The cover presents the Class of 2012 during Senior Community Days—an experience that generations of alumni identify as pivotal in forging the bonds of brotherhood that last a lifetime. We find that—at Jesuit— those bonds now transcend race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and a variety of other attributes, but we learn that today’s unity is the result of principled decisions and brave actions by generations of leaders and students.

We visit today’s Diversity Department to understand its mission; and we glimpse the challenges faced by Charles Edmond ’58 and Arthur Allen ’59 when their entry into Jesuit High School made them the first black students to integrate a Dallas school.

As the We Are Jesuit campaign winds down, we bring views of the new athletic center and share a preview of the baseball stadium, scheduled for completion in the coming months. The remarkable physical transformation of campus through the campaign will benefit students for years to come and we ask for the support of the entire community to help complete funding for the improvements.

Finally, we bring you news from alumni—recent grads and those who last walked the halls decades ago—who remain an important part of the Jesuit Dallas community.

Message from the President News & Notes Diversity at Jesuit: All Are Welcome Annual Report We Are Jesuit Campaign Nears Completion Class Notes Weddings and New Arrivals In Memoriam

When you hear the word ‘diversity’, what comes to mind?

So much of how we define the word comes from our personal context. When diversity is defined through the eyes of Jesuit, we see 1,000 students who come from more than 125 elementary and middle schools. Some belong to families that have a mom and dad; some are raised in families where love is channeled through a family friend, grandparent or sibling; and others come from backgrounds that reflect everything in between. We have students slightly over three feet tall and those approaching seven feet. We have students who come from wealthy families and students who live within very meager means. Although Jesuit is highly Catholic, we welcome students who represent many religions. We have students whose Jesuit legacy goes back many generations, and students who are the first in their family to attend high school.

I could continue listing differences that contribute to our diversity, but what Jesuit ultimately sees is young men who are trying their best to become Brothers, all on the path of formation—spiritually, physically, intellectually, and emotionally. There is great diversity among students when we consider where they are on this path. We have to remember that formation does not have an end point; for if we truly manifest the desire to be formed for God, as Ignatius might put it, we never arrive. Every day is another day to examine where we are, who we are and how we work at listening to God’s voice and serving Him as we should.

When I reflect on the multitude of experiences and gifts among our students, I am reminded of a story by author Andy Andrews. In the 1940s, Dr. Norman Borlaug was the first to successfully hybridize high-yield drought- and disease-resistant corn and wheat, enabling crops to grow where they previously could not. That work is credited with saving more than two billion humans from famine.

Borlaug was hired to run the lab on hybridization by Henry Wallace who, before becoming the second of FDR’s three vice presidents, was the Secretary of Agriculture.

Wallace became interested in agriculture as a small boy tagging along with his father, a dairy science professor, and the professor’s brilliant young student. The brilliant collegian whose love of plants rubbed off on the little six-year-old Wallace was George Washington Carver, famous for his work with peanuts and sweet potatoes.

MISSION STATEMENT Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas offers young men an excellent, Catholic education in the classical Jesuit tradition with the purpose of forming a community of men of high moral principles and service to others.

Which of these men should share in the credit for this life-saving breakthrough? Clearly, the answer is that all of them contributed to saving those lives. Similarly at Jesuit, our diversity is our strength. Who can know how many of our students—past, present and future—will contribute positively to the world, helping to realize the Kingdom of God in the whole of human society.

This realization of God’s work fills me with a sense of awe and thanksgiving every day.

The Gift of Life

Stay Connected

The Jesuit community has a long history of showing tremendous support for blood drives so it was no surprise that turnout for the first-ever marrow donor registry in November 2010 was also robust. Among those who registered was a member of the Jesuit community who was found to be the only match for a man in Germany. The transplant, which occurred almost exactly a year after the Jesuit drive, offers this man his only treatment option for leukemia. Patty Leyendecker, the organizer of the marrow registry drive whose son Eric graduated from Jesuit in 2011, commented that “it’s good to be reminded that one person really can make a difference—this donor did!” For more information about bone marrow transplants, visit www.marrow.org

Third Class of Alumni Service Corps Contributes to Jesuit When the 2011-2012 school year began, three young alumni joined the ranks of the Alumni Service Corps. They are spending the year teaching classes, helping with extracurricular activities and sharing in the life of Jesuit.

(L-R) Neil DuRoss (Saint Louis University), Ian Berry (University of Texas), and David Pace (University of Arkansas), all members of the Jesuit Class of 2007, have devoted a year of their lives to service to Jesuit. Members of the Classes of 2007 and 2008 who are interested in learning more about the program should contact Jack Fitzsimmons or Fred Donahue.

New Alumni Director In October, Jesuit Dallas welcomed a new alumni director. Kevin Mullan relocated from Toledo, Ohio, where he was the alumni director of his alma mater, St. John’s Jesuit High School. Kevin and his wife, Dani, are enjoying getting to know the city of Dallas and the Jesuit Dallas community.

He is a graduate of Miami University and brings experience in media and the not-for-profit sector.

Reflecting on the new member of the Jesuit team, Vice President of Advancement Chuck Vinson commented, “His understanding of the mission of Jesuit schools as well as his insight and experience will help our alumni community continue to support Jesuit Dallas students past, present and future.”

Diversity at Jesuit: All Are Welcome Recently Hughes Hall filled with students during lunch periods throughout the day to discuss discrimination, with particular emphasis on the marginalization of women.

During the conversation, students of every physical description asserted that racial discrimination is virtually nonexistent at Jesuit. However, most agreed with one student’s observation that “we’re farther in fighting racism than sexism.” As one student explained, “We’re being raised with a negative view toward any kind of bias. As we move farther from generations raised with racism and sexism, we’ll move farther from discrimination.”

By any measure, the school has made great strides overcoming discrimination since 1955 when Jesuit became the first school in

Dallas to desegregate by admitting students of African descent. That year, freshman Arthur Allen ’59 and sophomore Charles Edmond ’58 bravely entered the all-white school. Edmond hints at the isolation he felt when he explains that he received one phone call from a student during his years at Jesuit, and that was in search of homework help. Allen, a gifted athlete, shares the pain of sitting out games when opposing teams refused to play against a black student.

While both men graduated and have praise for the education they received and the friendships they made, the experience wasn’t without struggle. The thousands of students who followed them through the halls of Jesuit

from disadvantaged backgrounds to Jesuit for enrichment that helps prepare them for success in

each other’s

community

The HAP Program brings middle school students

encompassing socioeconomic background, gender, athletic and academic ability, and a variety of other factors. The Diversity Department takes the lead in opening dialogue and establishing programs to break down these barriers, but the goal of freeing students to confront social injustice permeates formal instruction, the Community Service Program, extracurricular activities and all aspects of formation.

When he was an assistant principal, current President Mike Earsing started the school’s first Diversity Club. From there, it wasn’t long before the school employed the city’s first full-time director of diversity. The man who has held that position since 2007, Erik Burrell explains that “seeing each other’s individuality makes us a stronger community if it unites rather than separates us. We work to create an environment where students feel they belong, where they are part of a brotherhood and their difference doesn’t prevent full membership.”

He measures the effectiveness of the school’s diversity efforts in student success.

To help students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences succeed, the Diversity Department takes a three-pronged approach: outreach, retention and awareness. Outreach encompasses all the ways the school makes itself known to diverse communities. One example is the mentoring program that pairs middle school students in the Higher Achievement Program (HAP)—which aims to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds—with current Jesuit students.

The pairs of students attend a football game, band concert and theater production, play dodge ball, and work on academic skills.

Just as outreach to the community is not limited to formal diversity programs, retention efforts involve all areas of the school including academics and counseling. However, the Diversity Department works to retain students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds by providing assistance including lunches, uniforms and textbooks. The Multicultural Society and activities throughout the year strive to create an environment in which all are comfortable.

Awareness is the aspect of the Diversity Department that directly involves every student in the school, and often the community beyond. The recent student lunch discussion of discrimination is one of many continued on page 16

Diversity at Jesuit: A Look Back

Arthur Allen’s senior photo in 1959.

Arthur Allen lettered in both track and football.

Captain of the track team, he was named Best Athlete in 1959.

Guided by the Jesuit commitment to human dignity and rights, Jesuit High School’s president and principal, Fathers Shields and Kammer, decided to open the school’s doors to students of African descent. Arthur Allen ’59—the son of a prominent business leader—was the first applicant. Although he would eventually come to appreciate his Jesuit experience, Arthur was not happy about his family’s decision to send him to Jesuit. He recalls, “I didn’t want to attend.

I didn’t know anyone at Jesuit and it wasn’t near my neighborhood.” Recognizing the potential difficulties of a single black student, the administration selected another student with excellent academic credentials, Charles Edmond ’58. His greatest apprehension was that he would let people down. He reminisces, “I envisioned something similar to Jackie Robinson—what happened when he integrated the major leagues, the harassment he got. But at Jesuit there was no racial backlash, no bullying. Jesuit grew on me, and I enjoyed it.”

When the two young men joined the student body on September 1, 1955, Jesuit High School eliminated the remnants of Jim Crow laws on campus.

The world outside took longer to change. Edmond describes sitting next to classmates at school but having to sit at the back of the city bus holding the same students on his way to and from campus.

In a 1955 letter to the Provincial, Father Shields describes the difficulty of integrating black students into Jesuit life in a segregated world. He describes both Charles and Arthur going out for football and being “fully accepted by teammates; again no problem whatever.

Both were told, however, that in the event we are playing a school which refuses to play against a team with a Negro on it, they will not be on the bench or in the game. Both boys fully understood.” While he may have understood, Allen remembers the pain of being called

to the principal’s office the morning of football games, knowing that he would be told the opponent refused to play if he suited up. Similar concessions were made for off-campus social events.

Edmond, the first black man to graduate from Charles Edmond’s Jesuit High School, senior photo in 1958. graduated cum laude from Grambling State University with a degree in math. He devoted his career to secondary education, where he taught math and served as dean of students before retiring as an assistant principal. Allen graduated from Marquette University and built a successful business. He was honored by Jesuit as the Distinguished Alumnus in 1994.

events it sponsors. Inspired by What Makes A Jesuit School Jesuit? published by the Society of Jesus in the United States in 2007, which states that “A Jesuit education should aim to free its students to confront honestly the social injustices of racism, sexism, and religious intolerance. Schools should work to instill in their students a willingness to collaborate with others…with all who strive to make a world fit for men and women to live in,” the Diversity Department creates opportunities for students to reflect, discern and take action.

Toward that end, the department leads the exploration of one topic each year. This year, the program focuses on topics of gender. The beginning of the discussion was timed to coincide with the Jesuit Theater production of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire, which explores social issues including the marginalization of women and domestic abuse.

An evening program that included students from several schools as well as parents and faculty began with scenes from the play followed by a discussion of the issues presented. At a subsequent Friday Prayer Service that focused on respect toward women,

Jesuit students were surprised to hear some of the comments from that evening.

As one student left the prayer service, he admitted that he “never realized how girls see some jokes as hurtful.” Theology classes

continued the dialogue as did an online forum and the lunchtime discussions.

As the conversation in Hughes Hall drew to a close, a student observed that sexism might outlast racism because racial divisions are a relatively recent invention while gender differentiation has been present as long as there have been humans. A classmate concluded that social differences might be natural but legal differences—such as allowing different pay for the same work—that marginalize women or any group of people cannot be allowed.

Erik Burrell commented that he appreciated the students’ genuine reflections and was pleased to know of several who came to an improved understanding of social injustice. Of his hope for the Diversity Program, he says, “I want there to be no doubt that Jesuit is a place where all are truly welcome.”

Noah Barron ’12 portrays an abusive husband in the Jesuit Theater production of A Streetcar Named Desire. The performance was a springboard for discussion about the marginalization of women.

We Are Jesuit Campaign Nears Completion Barely a corner of campus lacks improvements made possible through the We Are Jesuit campaign. Jesuit Dallas now boasts a beautiful and functional library that’s always a hive of activity, new and renovated classrooms where the environment enhances learning, counseling suites where students congregate throughout the day, Hughes Hall which hosts formal or informal meetings from morning to night, new athletic training facilities that improve student fitness and athletic performance, and an athletic stadium that improves the experience of fans and competitors alike. When upgrades to the baseball stadium are complete this spring, the We Are Jesuit campaign’s physical

transformations will be complete. In addition to these improvements, the campaign strengthened the school’s endowment to provide increased financial stability and flexibility.

When the dust settles on the final improvements, the work of paying for these changes— with a total cost of $30 million—will not be finished. If you have not yet contributed to the campaign, please visit www.jesuitcp. org/WeAreJesuit to make a pledge or gift.

Generations of Jesuit students will benefit from the generosity of those who made the campaign a success and transformed the campus. continued

Alumni in the News While still a student at Jesuit, 1989 graduate Tres Fromme was already designing landscapes and hints of his work remain in the courtyard between Halls A and B, a garden he designed and built with the Horticulture Club. Describing Jesuit’s influence, Fromme explains, “Jesuit maintained an atmosphere conducive to creative exploration and risk-taking. It also welcomed eccentric personalities.”

He went on to earn degrees in both horticulture and landscape architecture, a background that has enabled him to make a major impact on public garden design.

He credits his success to the Jesuit emphasis on critical thinking, which is essential to planning and design, as well as the written and oral communication skills instilled by teachers including Gretchen Haviland and Sheryl Row. Particularly important to his formation was a senior seminar that helped him recognize relationships between visual and performing arts as well as literature, history and science. His work can be seen at notable venues including the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Longwood Gardens and the United States Botanical Garden. A lecturer in architecture at the University of Texas, Fromme was named a “tastemaker” by Food & Wine Magazine in 2004, and has been published in the journal The Public Garden as well as Landscape Architecture Magazine and American Gardener.

Eugene Flynn ’04 is pleased to announce that he has been accepted to Holy Trinity Seminary and will begin studying at the University of Dallas under the sponsorship of the Diocese of Fort Worth. He will pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Letters. “I ask for the prayers of the community as I begin this journey that will, God willing, lead to my ordination.”

Adam Hinshaw ’05 is beginning his doctoral studies in counseling psychology at the University of Missouri at Kansas City.

Marc Salhanick ’05 presented his research on autotransfusion at the 63rd annual meeting of the Southwestern Surgical Congress in Hawaii.

Cress Terrell ’05 won the 2011 American Marketing Association Collegiate Student Marketer of the Year Award. He received his Bachelor of Business Administration with an emphasis in marketing from Texas State University, San Marcos and received his master certificate of Internet Marketing from the University of San Francisco.
