MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Minds & Hearts Enlightened Campaign Exceeds $30 Million Goal

by Jeremy Reuther '01 hen Leonardo da Vinci’s painting Salvator Mundi sold for $450 million in November 2017, it became the most expensive painting ever sold at public auction.

Such priceless works of art stimulate wonder about how to value the things people hold dear. What is it about the genius of Leonardo da Vinci that makes people want to be in close proximity to his masterpieces?

Something in his work awakens a desire to have contact with its beauty, a desire to preserve, a desire to take ownership, even at great cost. Some grace is present in the experience that elevates the encounter to a celebration of the art’s inestimable value.

Today, Jesuit High School has its own reasons to celebrate as it preserves an encounter with something precious. It is impossible to put a price tag on moments when the desire and love for learning comes to life in the heart of a young person.

Jesuit is in the business of fostering an encounter with that special time in a person’s life when he becomes a man.

In Jesuit’s way of proceeding, there is genius. There is truth. There are intangible qualities that can only be known when they are experienced.

It is therefore natural when celebrating the success of the Minds & Hearts Enlightened campaign to recognize the near 100-year legacy of Jesuit at its current location. In truth, this campaign – which started as a strategic plan under the leadership of Fr. Raymond Fitzgerald, S.J., in 2012 – has always been about turning the century mark at Carrollton and Banks, setting up the campus for an illustrious future. One thinks of the value that Jesuit High School has

for the city of New Orleans, for the nation, indeed, for the world.

The true value of entities such as Jesuit are measured in relation to the more than a century’s worth of men formed with hearts ablaze with love of serving God and serving others in countless walks of life. There is something distinctive within the education received, something in the brotherhood that lasts a lifetime, something worth passing on and carrying on. And it comes at a price tag that no one individual can afford alone.

To be sure, this value has been felt keenly by nearly 1,500 supporters who contributed to Minds & Hearts Enlightened. Support has come from people who are, in many ways, different. They live in cities and towns from California to Maine (one even in Germany!). Some are young alumni just finishing college; others cherish life lessons from the Jesuit of the 1940s. Some gave $10. Some gave millions. They are parents who appreciate what Jesuit has done for their sons. They are employers who appreciate what a Jesuit-educated man brings to the workplace. And yet, they are all similar in knowing about value.

Value takes commitment. Value takes sacrifice. It costs people something.

More than anything, it takes belief that the world needs what Jesuit offers.

Now, Jesuit moves forward with first-rate facilities that keep the school on the cutting edge of excellence.

This generational effort has been campus-wide and visionary. Every classroom has been modernized for 21st century learning, including two classrooms outfitted for instruction in the arts. The 1957 gymnasium

has been remodeled to become the Gayle & Tom Benson Arena, host to athletic competitions, assemblies, and other events. The endowment has received a $5 million boost to ensure that the scholarship program expands as a centerpiece of the educational mission. And still to come are a pedestrian walkway, a new administrative building, and renovations to the Banks Street wing that will expand space for student activities such as student council, publications, and campus ministry.

The impact of this campaign even reaches beyond capital improvements and the boost for the endowment. It has broadened the benefactor base and created a new rally point for long-time supporters and those making their first gifts. The National Advisory Board established through the campaign gives the school a national footprint for building resources and advancing the mission. Adding to this nation-wide enthusiasm was the fresh energy created by alumni reunions in Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, Houston, Miami, New York, and Washington, D.C. Closer to home, dozens of receptions in the metro area and one along the Mississippi gulf coast fueled the excitement.

When the campaign reached victory day on December 31, Jesuit president Fr. Christopher Fronk, S.J., said, “I am amazed by the overwhelming support for what Jesuit is doing now. I believe it is the teachers and the staff who push Jesuit’s mission forward every day that makes a difference. Their dedication is invaluable. I am grateful for the many supporters of this school that have come through for Jesuit time and time again.”

Jesuit also broke thresholds by receiving the two largest gifts in school history. Three gifts in the seven-figures and more than 50 sixfigure gifts elevate the school to a new tier of community support. Incredibly, these gifts, and all gifts, were donated to a campaign that ran concurrently with annual giving. Tremendous loyalty emboldened supporters to go the extra mile, to give more, even amid challenging times.

Many among the ranks were those who had nothing personal to gain from giving. Parents gave whose sons have long ago passed high school age.

Alumni near and far contributed who have no children or only daughters to raise. Business leaders donated whose only connection to Jesuit lies in working with its alumni and recognizing the impact they have on the city and world. They all believe in what Jesuit is doing today and have decided to invest in its future.

Others among the ranks were supporters nearer to the heart of executing the mission. A flood of support came from the collaboration of an exceptional team of operational chairs: Liz and Terry Creel, Karen

4 | JAYNOTES |FALL / WINTER 2019

and Peter DeBlieux, Missy and Gerald Duhon ’85, Jennifer and Dennis Lauscha ’87, and Yvonne and Jeremy Mancheski ’90. The

mission simply could not have been accomplished without the encouragement and cooperation of an all-star group of honorary chairs: Gayle and the late Tom Benson, Sue Ellen and Joseph Canizaro, Janet and John Ryan ’70, and Paulette and Frank Stewart ’53.

Hundreds of volunteers hosted receptions in their homes or at Jesuit, spread the message through phone outreach, and enriched strategy sessions with their advice and expertise. Chairs of giving divisions and committee members awakened passion in the community which created the momentum and urgency for success. Even current Blue Jays contributed to the achievement through the student-inspired Hoops for the Holidays basketball tournament.

At the end of the effort, the $30 million raised is a high-impact driver for improvement, setting the stage for the prominent future of Jesuit High School. But the final total is

also a sign, an indication of the value that Jesuit has in the hearts of its supporters. That total, by far the largest amount raised in a capital drive, shows a tremendous loyalty and a confidence that what has been given will endure. There is no school that forms its students as Jesuit of New Orleans does.

And yet, even $30 million does not represent the full value that Jesuit High School has had and will continue to have. In fact, if you add up every dollar that Jesuit has raised in its 173-year history, it would still not add up to a value that reflects the good that this school does for the world.

Jesuit-educated men have a vision that counts no cost when it gives, that seeks no rest when it toils, that asks no reward save knowing that God’s will is done. As the campus looks to the next 100 years at Carrollton and Banks, no price is too high in ensuring that Jesuit High School continues its mission with excellence to form men of faith and men for others, men who, with minds and hearts enlightened, will shape the world for the greater glory of God.

Mission Focused

c a r r y i n g j e s u i t e d u c at i o n f o rwa r d

by Fr. John Brown S.J.

T

here is a certain mystique about a Jesuit education.

In 2002, famous television journalist Tim Russert was awarded an honorary degree from Notre Dame, although he himself was a graduate of Jesuitrun Boston College. He ended the commencement address by saying, “For me, my life is now complete. I have a Jesuit education and a Notre Dame diploma.”

What is it about a Jesuit education that was necessary for Tim Russert and so many others to feel as though their lives were complete? With the rising cost of a private education and the growing secularization of our culture, what makes a Jesuit education worth it today?

For centuries, Jesuit education was carried out primarily by Jesuits. They were men who felt a calling by God to give up wealth, family, and power in an effort to glorify God in the service of others. The classroom became a space for evangelization, no matter the subject being taught, because these Jesuits felt deep down that God’s

6 | JAYNOTES |FALL / WINTER 2019

grandeur permeated the known world.

They spent years studying philosophy and theology before specializing in any other particular discipline taught in Jesuit schools. The Jesuits became excellent scholars, in part, because they were asked to teach. When asked, “Do you know geometry, Father?” the common answer was, “No, I haven’t taught it yet.”

Jesuit education, then, was not marked by mere academic excellence.

It was motivated by an aim towards the greater glory of God and the good of souls, leaving no room for mediocrity in an academic ministry.

This was manifested in an education put to the service of the Faith and the promotion of a more just world. The Jesuits shared a vision of the world informed by the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius Loyola, promoting them to go to frontiers, both figuratively and literally.

In the 21st century, Jesuit secondary education faces a new reality. In New Orleans the student body’s need for teachers has outpaced the Society of Jesus’ ability to

provide Jesuit priests, brothers, and scholastics. While we can boast of a relatively large Jesuit community living on campus, we now rely mostly on well-educated lay faculty, experts in their fields, to form our student body. And here is the challenge: Jesuit High School must provide the kind of Jesuit/Catholic education that inspired so many and commanded the respect of all, avoiding the trend towards secularization or making the Jesuit name just a brand.

Key to this endeavor is avoiding what philosopher Will Herberg called the “cut flowers syndrome.” Like flowers separated from their roots, concepts such as rights and justice, diversity, self-restraint, valor, and wisdom are all appealing on their own for a while, but eventually lose their attractiveness once disconnected from their spiritual and religious origins.

They become, at best, cultural values that eventually give in to whatever spirit rules the day. There is a secular tendency in secondary and higher education of compartmentalizing the different academic disciplines,

MISSION IN THE CURRICULUM

treating this division as liberating.

This heightens the need to keep our roots intact and continue the tradition of drawing upon our religious nature for wisdom and guidance. Here, a Jesuit education is a baptism of sorts, an inundation of learning and experience that allows a graduate to see the world for its richness in light of God’s creative hand.

With this in mind, Jesuit’s mission “as a Catholic, college preparatory school is to develop in its students the competence, conscience, and compassion that will enable them to be men of faith and men for others.”

We believe our mission is handed down from God the Father to His Son to Saint Peter and the Apostles to Saint Ignatius and the first Jesuits to Father Jean Baptiste Maisonabe and the founders of the Jesuit High School to the Jesuits today and the lay men and women who work tirelessly in partnership to carry out that mission.

To be Catholic is to be thinking with the Church. To be a college preparatory school is not only to hold to high academic standards, but to connect and unify the subjects

mastered. To develop competency and conscience in a young man is to unite reason and faith in the fullness of truth. It is to convince the young men that their achievement is a tool in the hand of God to bring about His Kingdom, inaugurated by God and fulfilled by Him. Our mission to bestow compassion is a mission to transform the hearts of our young men into no less than the Heart of Christ.

In an effort to guide and encourage our faculty to be mission oriented, Jesuit High School’s faculty is reviewing its curriculum with an eye toward the mission. Keeping in mind the experience of the students, this work is both teacher and subject driven. It encompasses what is taught and the way it is taught. Jesuit began the year by devoting the faculty in-service day to the topic of being mission driven with each teacher submitting a plan of action. Some of those plans include class content based reflection questions synchronized with the Examen prayers after lunch; facilitating discussions on the ethics and consequences of scientific

research and discovery; emphasis on the intersection between secular law and Catholic belief; organizing essay writing around Jesuit’s Profile of a Graduate at Graduation; organizing classic language texts around the ideas of truth, freedom, justice and human dignity; and focused computer class themes on social responsibility and technology use.

With a rich history of facing the challenges in education and in the world, Jesuit High School stands as committed as ever to making a Jesuit education the best instruction a young man can hope for in New Orleans. This foundation, aimed at making each student see his role as a man for others, carries on into higher education. Wherever they may choose to go from here, they go armed with the mandate of Christ: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:19-20).

ivalry Day 2019 was a celebration befitting its historic nature.

The festivities surrounding the 100th meeting of the Jesuit and Holy Cross football teams began with an inspirational morning assembly in the school yard and concluded with fireworks over Tad Gormley Stadium. In between were a spirited school-wide pep rally in the Gayle & Tom Benson Arena and a jam-packed tailgate on Roosevelt Mall.

This year’s Distinguished Military Alumnus, Col. Robert Friedrich ’59, addressed students and faculty clad in their game-day jerseys during assembly with guidelines on how to be leaders in all walks of life. Representatives from the Great American Rivalry Series then pumped up the students for the game, waving the coveted Golden Football above the podium and challenging the football team to keep it at Jesuit for yet another year.

At the conclusion of classes, the entire student body crossed Banks Street for a raucous pep rally led by the student council and enthusiastic seniors showing that Blue Jay spirit continues to thrive in Mid-City.

The activities then moved to City Park for the annual pre-game tailgate, which grows in size and excitement every year. For the third year, alumni classes competed in the Great

American Cook-off, providing tasty morsels for fans to sample with creative names such as the Personal Fowl, Tiger Meat Sliders, and the Not-Sold-Out Chicken Sandwich.

The Class of 2020, this year’s seniors, even participated as an honorary team doling out Pigskin Sliders. The winner, by a vote of the people, was the Class of 2012 with its Creole BBQ Shrimp over a Jalapeño Biscuit.

Fans were also treated to hamburgers, hot dogs, jambalaya, and pulled pork tacos compliments of the Office of Institutional Advancement and a wide assortment of desserts provided by the football team parents.

The live band, a new feature for 2019, concluded its performance as the Krewe of Rivalry parade made its way around Roosevelt Mall led by representatives and support units from both schools. The parade also included each school's Distinguished Military Alumnus and the Legends of the Game, the 1969 football teams, who entered

the contest 50 years ago ranked #1 and #2 in the state. Members of Jesuit’s honored team visited with current players after Thursday’s practice.

Also recognized during the game were senior football players John Gunaldo as the Scholar-Athlete and Dalton Baglio as the recipient of the Royal Honda Community Service Award. Mat Grau ’68, after recently retiring as Jesuit’s alumni director, was surprised with a Special Recognition Award presented by the leaders of both schools for his commitment to preserving and promoting the rivalry and events surrounding it.

The football game itself proved worthy of all the hype as the Jays defeated the Tigers 20-14 in front of 16,000 excited fans. Senior quarterback Grant Jordan was named the game’s MVP in the postgame ceremony for his outstanding performance leading the team to victory. After the singing of the two schools’ alma maters, fireworks closed out the day.

Jesuit and Holy Cross thank Home Bank for once again serving as the presenting sponsor of this cherished event.

Happy 100th, Blue Jays

by Matt Grau ’68 hat would you say about a class that gave its school its yearbook? What would you say about a class that gave its school its beloved mascot?

What would you say about a class that gave its school a simple but profound three-word articulation of the essence

10 | J A Y N O T E S | F A L L / W I N T E R 2 0 1 9

of the school’s way of proceeding, a phrase that would uniquely identify the common something pulsing through the veins of students and alumni? And what would you say when you discovered those classes were, in fact, one class, the same class?

This year Jesuit High School

celebrates the centennial of three cherished and enduring gifts of the Class of 1920.

A reading of the iconic first edition of The Blue J suggests the impetus for the creation of the school’s first yearbook. Front and center throughout the publication is an

ANNUS MIR ABILIS

awareness of the class as a group of young men bound by a common endeavor and sharing in a common result. The “Class History” quickly takes the reader back to September 3, 1916, when these young men entered the Jesuits’ College on Baronne Street with a “new and overwhelming sensation.”

Evidently, the sensation was not too overwhelming. Two of the freshmen, F. Edward Hebert and G. Gernon Brown, captured the Gold Medals in Debate and Elocution and would hold on to them for the next four years. Six freshmen would contribute on the varsity football team. And one group even created a class paper “The Knutty Knut Knews,” which impressed the faculty and students with its uniqueness and wit. Perhaps herein lie the seeds of the yearbook to come.

So began a four-year journey marked by a consciousness that they were in the midst of an important formation in their lives.

They would reap all it had to offer not only by participating in their formation but also by contributing to it. By the time they reached their senior year, these students had forged an infectious spirit of goal identification, hard work, comradeship, and support for each other that would become a hallmark feature of the Jesuits’ College and the subsequent Jesuit High School.

And they knew it. At least Eddie Hebert knew it. Unable to actually play sports because of childhood injury, Hebert would not feign from participating in sports. He became the manager, organizer, recorder, and, perhaps most

importantly, promoter of all the Jesuits’ teams for his entire high school career. On the occasion of the class’s 50 year reunion in 1970, Hebert gave a glimpse into his and his buddies’ oratory leadership.

“We were the rabble-rousers. We had our demonstrations (read pep rallies).

We demonstrated for the school and the faculty, for the United States of America. And we really whipped them up for the annual football game with Boys High.

Most of all we told them what it meant to be a Blue Jay.” A Blue Jay. History tells us that just as the College of the Immaculate Conception was transitioning into Jesuit High School, sportswriters began referring to the students as “Blue J’s” because of the bold blue J on the jerseys and white sweaters of the athletes. It’s not until Hebert includes an image of Cyanocitta cristata, the aggressive omnivorous blue jay, on the cover of the first

yearbook, that the iconic mascot and student identification is born.

To drive home his point, Hebert’s flying blue jays are on every page of the publication. One of those pages, labeled “Class Diary,” captures the very first time the term “Blue Jay” with its two capital letters is used in a school document: “April 15 - Plans were formulated for the ‘Blue-Jay.’” The Class of 1920’s “paramount feat,” as the text itself refers to their yearbook creation, stands as much more than a mere chronicle of the class’s many achievements. It even stands as much more than the origin of the school’s iconic mascot. It stands as one of the first calls for brotherhood. As the editors say in their statement of purpose, “it has been our desire to instill a spirit of harmony among the members of the graduating classes of the college which shall bind them in after years.” In their endeavor they saw their book and subsequent yearbooks as a unifying tool to bring alumni closer to their alma mater. “By this book and the books we hope the following classes will edit, we sincerely wish that a new and creditable alumni shall spring into existence . . . so that the College needs will be assured of the attention of an ever interested alumni.”

In the realization of their noble effort to give Jesuit High School its first yearbook, the Class of 1920 gave the school so much more. Without even realizing it, their endeavor represents and gives a name to something almost unnameable. The Blue Jay Spirit.

THANKSGIVING DRIVE

The World’s Rebuilders thanksgiving drive feeds 538 families

At the annual Thanksgiving Drive prayer service, long-time faculty member Tim Powers gave this moving address to the Jesuit community about the impact of the drive. This year’s drive provided a Thanksgiving meal to 538 families in the New Orleans community. The Thanksgiving Drive is a hallmark event of the fall semester, calling the entire Jesuit community of students, faculty, parents, and alumni into action in service to others. hen Mr. Murphy first asked me to speak at this service, I demurred and told him that I had done it once before. But he encouraged me to reconsider, and two things changed my mind.

First, I last spoke on this occasion before the turn of the century, and the likelihood of anyone remembering what I said, myself included, was remote.

And second, I, like everyone here, have a great deal to be thankful for — perhaps more than most. On this day a year ago, I was in a nursing home unsure when I would be able to return to my own home or whether I would ever be able to return to teaching.

12 | J A Y N O T E S | F A L L / W I N T E R 2 0 1 9

I am absolutely convinced that it is only by the grace of God and the prayers and support of the Jesuit community that I have been able to return, and this is the first opportunity I have had to publicly express my thanks, which I give you from the bottom of my heart.

Each August when I return to teaching, I am reminded of these lines by the poet Theodosia Garrison: "Just children on their way to school again! / Nay, it is ours to watch a greater thing. / These are the world’s rebuilders!"

That for me is the allure of teaching and especially of teaching at Jesuit High School.

Have no doubt about it. You are

the world’s rebuilders, and each day you are given the opportunity to help make the world a better place. In the Old Testament, when God decided to recreate the world, He gave Noah very specific instructions about constructing the vessel that would allow this to occur. The ark was to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. Noah and his sons followed God’s directions, and both man and beast were saved.

In the New Testament, Jesus also gives specific directions for recreating the world — and you are the vessels through which this can be achieved.

Jesus’ instructions can be performed daily, even hourly: Love your neighbor as yourself. Whatever you do for one

of the least of these my brothers you do for me. On this day we, the entire Jesuit high community, follow these instructions in a unique way. We exercise what Father Pedro Arrupe, the Superior General of the Jesuits in 1968 called “the preferential option for the poor.” We do it by serving those who are marginalized in our

6

neighborhood and throughout the entire city. The food we are bringing and the fellowship we will share will help to rebuild a small part of God’s creation so that we and those we serve can praise Him and thank Him for his gifts on Thanksgiving Day. God bless you all. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR

SET TING HEARTS ABL AZE ALUMNUS OF THE YEAR CLAIBORNE PERRILLIAT '62 CHANGES LIVES AT OZANAM INN

by Michael Prados '83 hat makes Claiborne Perrilliat '62 stand out as Jesuit’s 2019 Alumnus of the Year is not his impressive education, his military service, his success in business, or even his devotion to his family and friends. It is Perrilliat’s desire to serve the less fortunate members of our community. Whether in leadership roles with Catholic outreach programs or by working closely with the homeless themselves, Perrilliat’s commitment to helping others reinforces his calling to live his life Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.

For nearly forty years, Perrilliat has been volunteering at Ozanam Inn, a center located on Camp Street that offers free food, clothing, shelter, counseling, and medical and legal services to some of the most helpless and hopeless members of our city.

The Inn also provides employment training and housing assistance to help its clients transition to independent living.

In his role as president of the board 14 | J A Y N O T E S | F A L L / W I N T E R 2 0 1 9

of directors, Perrilliat works closely with the director of the Inn and is responsible for leading a group that serves as a source of guidance in various areas of expertise.

But Perrilliat does not spend all his time in the board room. Volunteering at the Inn about one day a week, he serves meals to the homeless and interacts with them on a personal level. He takes an interest in them as fellow human beings and children of God who deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. He is committed to the ideals of Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, who said, “Yours must be a work of love, of kindness, you must give your time, your talents, yourselves.”

His involvement as a volunteer began in 1980 through an outreach program at Holy Name of Jesus Parish. He would help prepare and serve meals to about 300 guests of the Inn for lunch on Sundays every other month and quickly began to see the face of Christ in each individual whom he encountered. Perrilliat notes

that we have been called by Christ to address the needs of and to support the less fortunate. He emphasizes that “we, the community, have this obligation and charge!”

Perrilliat’s latest task is to help find a new location for Ozanam Inn as a result of the sale of the building that it has occupied since 1955. Always positive, Perrilliat sees this as an opportunity for the Inn to expand and provide new and enhanced services for its clientele.

As Frédéric Ozanam also said, it is “our vocation to set people’s hearts ablaze, to do what the Son of God did, who came to light a fire on earth in order to set it ablaze with His love.”

Perrilliat, in unselfishly giving of his time, his talents, and himself, is indeed setting hearts on fire through his love of Christ and all of humanity.

Perrilliat’s humble service is an example for all Blue Jays to live each day as men of faith and men for others.

GRACE AT THE GREENLIGHT BLUE JAYS PERFORM VOLUNTARY SERVICE TO THE CITY'S HOMELESS

P

ope Francis says, “The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.” These are the words that appear at the bottom of the Grace at the Greenlight permission slip.

For the 2019-2020 school year, Jesuit continues its partnership with Grace at the Greenlight, a non-profit organization that serves breakfast to the homeless in the Central 1974 City neighborhood of New Orleans. Grace at the Greenlight is open every day of the year, holidays included, at the Living Witness Church on Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard. Volunteers from Jesuit are helping serve meals on more than 20 Wednesdays throughout the school year. These volunteers meet at Jesuit at 6:00 a.m., travel in the school van to Living Witness Church, do the work, and return to Jesuit in time for homeroom.

“You see the challenges that homeless people face, as far as getting their lives back on track,” said

community service director Kevin Murphy ’00. “What’s great about this program is that our students see these people as human. Normally, we see them through the windows of our cars, creating a sense of separation and maybe even judgment. So the nice thing about this program is that you interact face to face, person to person, over a meal in a nice environment.”

Jesuit’s relationship with Grace at the Greenlight began last year, when groups of students served breakfast on more than a dozen mornings. The Sodality, student council, basketball, robotics, and quiz bowl all sent groups to serve meals. On other days, the meals were served by groups of individual Blue Jays answering the call to serve.

One of those Blue Jays was senior Fredrick Junius, who started serving last year as a junior. “You get to see their personalities, and to be honest, some of them are not having a good day,” Junius said. “For me, it evokes

Fredrick Junius

the feeling of warmth in this city area.

It’s one corner, one stop that you can get food and warmth and comfort for a couple of hours.” Junius added that he would serve more than once a week if that option became available.

It’s all voluntary—that is the special and unique element of this new partnership. Every student takes part in the Thanksgiving Drive, and every sophomore and junior fulfills his required service hours, but any Blue Jay can wake up and go to the Greenlight.

HOMECOMING 2019

Mass and Reception Fill Chapel and Commons

B

lue Jays from the past eight decades returned to Carrollton and Banks for the Alumni Homecoming Mass and Reception on Saturday, Sept. 14.

Prior to Mass, the golden and silver anniversary classes processed into the packed Chapel of the North American Martyrs to be honored. Jesuit president Fr. Christopher Fronk, S.J., presented the 50-year diplomas to the Class of 1969 and the 25-year pins to the Class of 1994.

Alumni chaplain Fr. Paul Shaughnessy, S.J., was the main celebrant for the Mass, and Roberto Matthews ’96, assistant band director Jason Giaccone, and the alumni band

provided the music.

Afterwards, the 2019 Alumnus of the Year, Claiborne Perrilliat ’62 , accepted the F. Edward Hebert Award from Fr. Fronk. At the podium Perrilliat recalled his first experience of serving the less fortunate—feeding a quadriplegic child at Children’s Hospital while a member of Jesuit’s Sodality. That powerful moment in his youth, along with the influence of the Jesuits, set him on a path of serving the needy of our community through outreach programs such as Ozanam Inn, Hotel Hope, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

Blue Jays, along with their wives and guests, moved down to the

Jesuit Welcomes 11 Faculty and 1 Staff Member

T

he Jesuit faculty and staff has been enhanced for 2019-2020 by twelve new faces, five of which are Jesuit alumni and one a Jesuit priest.

David Sansone is the new director of maintenance and facilities. He replaces Jimmy Huck, who retired after 12 years of faithful service to Jesuit. Sansone has more than two decades of relevant experience as a director of facilities at a local hospital and as chief engineer at the Superdome/Smoothie King Center/ Champions Square.

Maj Jarrod Friloux, USMC, ret.

is the new senior Marine instructor for the MCJROTC program. Friloux comes to Jesuit from the New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy (NOMMA) in Algiers. That post followed his 2015 retirement from being a pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Jesuit (Houston), Paternostro spent three years teaching theology and serving as the assistant theater director at Jesuit Tampa. Most recently, he served a pastoral year at the Jesuit Church on Baronne Street after his ordination.

The Alumni Service Corps welcomes three members this year.

Connor Hartupee ’15 teaches computer science and works with the I.T. department. Anthony Taffaro III ’15 teaches social studies and assists with the MCJROTC program. Daniel Augustin ’15 teaches theology and is involved with Sodality, campus ministry, and the track and field program.

The guidance department has two new members coming from area high schools. Stephanie Strain brings to Jesuit five years of experience as a counselor at Holy Cross School and holds a master’s degree in counseling education. Susan Yelton joins the Jesuit staff as a college placement counselor. Yelton earned a master’s

degree in social work and comes to Jesuit after five years as a counselor and college advisor at Cabrini High School.

Darrell O’Neill ’06 returns to his alma mater to teach English.

O’Neill found a love for teaching while a student at Jesuit as a tutor for Operation Upgrade. Since then, he has gone on to earn a master’s degree in teaching and most recently teach English at Riverdale High School.

The Spanish department has three new members: Andrea Schalker, a native of Chile with 15 years of language arts teaching experience; Scout Serpas ’13, a Jesuit alumnus with experience teaching ESL courses in Costa Rica and Austin, TX; and Delamy Banegas, a teacher with a decade of experience, most recently at St. Paul’s High School in Covington.

New faculty members are assigned veteran mentors and participate in a three-year formation program.

Since 2013, Jesuit has had 22 students receive the top score.

Milan Mardia and Aqib Zakaria are the two most recent students to earn the high score, and, better yet, they are close friends.

They are co-captains of the debate and academic games teams. Together they won the public forum division at last year’s Benjamin Franklin Speech & Debate Invitational, and

posted scores ranging from 215 to 226 on the PSAT/NMSQT®, which is used as the initial screen in the annual competition underwritten by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC). Since the inception of the program in 1956,

there have been 1,567 Blue Jays to achieve that level of excellence The faculty, administration, and staff of Jesuit High School congratulate these 22 National Merit Semifinalists for their significant academic achievement.

Milan Mardia

Aqib Zakaria

their academic games team last year was the 2nd best team in the nation.

They compete together in Mu Alpha Theta and Model UN, of which Zakaria is vice president and president respectively. They are both in the National Honor Society and are both National Merit Semifinalists.

Although their Jesuit resumes are practically in lockstep, their interests outside Jesuit differ but are equally substantial. Mardia has a passion for coastal restoration. He has presented to the board of the Coastal Protection

and Restoration Authority and been a featured speaker on Delta Dispatches, a podcast hosted by Jesuit alumnus Jacques Hebert ’03.

Zakaria was accepted to attend the YMCA Conference on National Affairs (CONA), selected as one of 25 Louisiana students to present a proposal of national or international importance. Zakaria’s passions for political science and foreign affairs will likely be his areas of study in college.

SWIMMERS WIN 36 STRAIGHT AT DISTRICT & METRO Michael Foley

ontinual improvement was the motto of the Jesuit swim team in 2019-2020.

After earning a district championship, swimmers worked hard improving their times to become the metro champions as well. It was the 36th consecutive title for the Jays in both competitions. Each swimmer then clocked his best time of the season at state to earn the team a state runner-up title.

It is hard to appreciate the season without referring to senior Mike Foley. Foley did not lose a single individual competition in the district, metro, or state meets. He was champion of the 50 freestyle (district, metro, state), 100 freestyle (district), and 100 backstroke (metro, state).

His 50.66 backstroke time at metro broke former teammate Charles Korndorffer’s meet record from last year.

Fellow senior Philip Endom had a banner year as well, becoming a district and state champion in the 200 individual medley and a district champion in the 100 backstroke.

Zachary Davis added his own district championship swim in the 100 breaststroke. Freshman Joseph Capo is a sign of hope for the future of the program, locking down the 200 freestyle with the top spot at district and the second spot at metro.

But the success of the season resulted from many other talented swimmers who contributed to a sweep of the relays at metro, a 1st-place finish in the 200 medley relay at state, and staggering point totals from individual competitions added in all three big meets.

Head swimming coach Bret Hanemann '85 said, “I could not be prouder of the way these guys handled themselves both inside the pool and out. They won with class and humbly took second place at state with their heads held high. Our boys left everything in the water and swam the best they could possibly swim when it mattered most. As a coach, I could ask for nothing more.” 

FOOTBALL SNAGS SEVEN WINS Jack Stuke

fter the Blue Jays' seasonending loss to John Curtis in the state quarter finals, head football coach Mark Songy told his players, “I wouldn’t trade you guys for anyone. We fell a little short tonight, but we did not fall short this season.”

The team did not fall short in 2019 because of a particular five-game stretch that included what Coach Songy called the “biggest win of the season.” The Jays handed Hahnville its first loss of the season with a 24-14 road win which, at that point, gave Jesuit four wins in its last five games.

People may look back on the

season and recall their favorite moments. Others may want to trade one performance for another to see if a game would have ended differently.

In Jesuit’s case, there are seven victories from which to choose, and just one team of which to be proud.

Offensively, senior quarterback Grant Jordan made the most of his opportunity as a first-year starter.

Jordan made great plays with his arm and his legs on the way to a statistically outstanding season, passing for 2,330 yards and rushing for ten touchdowns.

Seniors Sonny Hazard and Jimbo Hotard, junior Max Jubenville, and

Luke Besh

sophomore Dennis Dougherty were the team's tackling leaders. Earning all-district and all-metro honors were Hazard and offensive lineman Max McMahon (WWL Coaches Poll & The Advocate). Joining McMahon and Hazard on the Clarion Herald Elite Football Team were Jordan and offensive lineman Brian Balestra.

Jesuit ended the 2019 football season at 7-5, but the wins against Holy Cross in the 100th meeting and on the road against Hahnville, and even the hard-fought loss in the quarterfinal, prove why the Jesuit football program will continue to battle until the final whistle blows.

overall at district. Juniors Jack Wallace (4th – district) and Donovan Musser (13th – regionals) alternated as the second quickest Blue Jay in those races. At state, the conditions improved just as much as the runners did, and Jesuit finished in 5th place out of 24 teams competing.

Musser crossed the line the fastest for the Jays at state, joined by LaCour, Wallace, and freshman Robert Buisson in the cluster of Jays finishing in places from the 30s to the early 40s. Blue Jay runners look forward to an active track & field season in the spring.

spectacular performance by the Blue Jay Marching Band and Jayettes earned them Superior ratings across the board in the Louisiana Music Educators Association (LMEA) District VI Marching Festival in October.

The band performed their 2019 show entitled “Welcome to the Machine.� With 10-foot by 20-foot blue gear-walls as their backdrop, the Jesuit band members gave a stellar performance that was a seamless flow of music and drill in three movements. For their geared-up performance, Jesuit took home the sweepstakes, the highest rating of Superior in all four classifications of overall band, auxiliary (Jayettes), percussion, and drum majors.

In addition to their outstanding performance on the field, three Blue Jay bandsmen excelled in the concert hall.

Trumpeter Michael Paul Fine, tenor saxophonist Aidan Schwarz, and flautist Matthew Vuong were selected for the LMEA All-State Band.

The marching band is led by two drum majors, senior Lloyd Passafume and junior Hunter Richardson, while the Jayettes are led by captain Jordan Kleehammer (Sacred Heart Academy).

Bandsmen are looking forward to their biennial summer German exchange trip, celebrating 20 years of the successful and rewarding program.

MSgt Abshire joined the Marine Corps in September 1967, retired in April 1991, and taught Marine Corps JROTC from 1991-2000 at Jesuit. After one year away, he returned to Jesuit to become Prefect of Discipline, a role he has performed with excellence for the past 19 years. Abshire is joined above by cadets Darren Tsang, Todd Hunt, and Joseph Ditta.

M

aj Jarrod Friloux, USMC, ret. is the new senior Marine

instructor for Jesuit’s MCJROTC program. Friloux had the same title at his previous post at the New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy (NOMMA) in Algiers. That position followed his retirement in 2015 as a pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps after a 28-year career. He will teach Leadership Education, coach the MCJROTC rifle team and the color guard, and be involved in the drill team and the physical training team. Friloux has embraced the opportunity for Jesuit's ROTC to engage the larger community. The color guard has represented the school publicly at community events such as a federal judicial appointment, and the whole battalion collected Christmas toys for children at Champion Church and Children's Hospital through the Toys for Tots program.

s everyone looks up to you, you look only at her, with a laserfocused love and respect for all she has done.

It takes guts for an 18-year-old young man to stand in a ballroom of people and admit you are not perfect… that you depend on your mother. I know that because I am 25 years old, and I almost started bawling in front of hundreds of Blue Jays and their mothers at the Mother-Son Mass & Breakfast event in November.

Seniors Chance McGee and Connor Quaglino have guts, even though McGee admitted this about his mother Chandra: “I will still hold her hand while crossing the street because frankly I’m scared of streets. So, Fr. Fronk, we need that walkway ASAP.” As everyone laughed, McGee added, “but honestly I feel like holding her hand is my trying to hold on to our special bond.”

“While we might act like we are perfect sons, we know this is not true,” Quaglino explained. “And that’s why we need our mothers. They’re the first ones to teach us about our faith…how to help others…and the first to teach us how to love and to pass this on to others.”

During Mass at Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church and during the breakfast program at The Roosevelt Hotel, students and their mothers were reminded that, indeed, Jesuit High School is “alma mater” to every young man who walks the halls at Carrollton and Banks. The characterization of Jesuit as “dear mother” is founded upon the partnership between the school and its parents. This teamwork in forming men of faith and men for others enables students to become leaders for the community and world.

Therefore, the annual mother-son event on Baronne Street reminds Blue Jays not only from where they came but also from whom they came.

Thanks, Jesuit, for everything I’ve learned. Thanks, Mom, for everything…period.

Advent Reflection Inspires Jesuit Community to Keep Christ in Christmas

C

hristmas brings out one’s childhood nostalgia, Fr. Penn Dawson, S.J. explained, before he said, “Unlike when I was a child, the period of preparation that we call Advent is now for me as important as celebrating the nativity itself, for Advent holds out that hope that is present in the incarnation…the hope of seeing the transcendent God face to face.”

Indeed, “The Incarnation: Seeing the Transcendent God Face to Face” was the topic for the 2019 Evening of Advent Reflection presented by Fr. Dawson, held on Tuesday, December 3, in the Chapel of the North American Martyrs.

The reflection focused on the mystery of God’s incarnation and the transformative power of God’s revelation to His people.

As Fr. Dawson noted, the great 20th century philosopher G.K. Chesterton expressed a similar attitude when he said that he enjoyed Christmas more as an adult than as a child because the fun of Christmas is founded in the seriousness of Christmas.

“For most people in our culture today, however, I suspect that Christmas is all about the fun. If any hope or seriousness is found between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, it is in the way one tackles the season’s many material demands—the shopping, cooking, entertaining.”

“As long as Christmas is celebrated, even imperfectly, the hope of Advent remains.” Dawson backed this belief in the hope of Advent with another point from Chesterton, “The majority of people will go on observing forms that they cannot explain, they will keep Christmas Day with Christmas gifts and benedictions, they will continue to do it, and some day, they will suddenly wake up to discover why.”

In closing his talk, Fr. Dawson challenged the Jesuit community present in the congregation to reconnect society with the Christian story, to live out the phrase, “Keep Christ in Christmas,” rather than allowing it to become simply a billboard slogan.

WRESTLING REUNION

Wrestlers Reunite in Benson Arena

A

s wrestlers prepared for the 2019-2020 season, they knew that they were backed by the Blue Jays who went before them. They were reminded of the Jesuit wrestling brotherhood in October in the Gayle & Tom Benson Arena at the Wrestling Alumni Reunion.

The late Ed Stacy ’49 was certainly smiling from above as 100-plus alumni, from 1951 to 2019, gathered to connect with today’s wrestling program. Stacy was known as the “grandfather of Jesuit wrestling,” a title that head wrestling coach Sheridan Moran still uses today. As the program’s first state champion and a longtime supporter, Stacy took it upon himself to build the wrestling alumni base of 1,200.

All enjoyed an evening dedicated to Jesuit wrestling thanks to the work of the Wrestling Reunion committee: Coach Moran, athletic director Dave Moreau, alumni director Michael Prados ’83, alumni coordinator Jack Culotta, Jr. ’13, events coordinator D.J. Galiano ’07, wrestling alumni representative Kevin White ’07, and parent reps Colleen Charles and Amy Larriviere.

Guests enjoyed watching the team’s senior-led practice while viewing a slide show capturing wrestling program moments from 1951 to the present. A highlight of the event came when alumni huddled with the team to hear Coach Moran’s post-practice talk. He recognized the 10th anniversary of the 2009 state title team and the former head coaches in attendance, Sam Harnsongkram and

ALUMNI GIVING DRIVE Jesuit remains a leader among high schools across the country in alumni support. The primary vehicle for alumni giving is the Alumni Giving Drive (AGD). Donations to AGD and its companion drives (PAG for parents and POA for parents of alumni) are essential to the financial health of the school and help to keep Jesuit affordable, accessible, and thriving.

AGD donations keep Jesuit tuition affordable for all families, a goal separate from the financial aid that is supplied by the endowment. Jesuit thanks 2018–19 AGD chairman Arthur “Dooty” Patron ‘51 for his outstanding job leading this important effort.

PARENT GIVING GIVING BY PARENTS Jesuit’s Parents’ Annual Giving Drive, also known as PAG, is as important today as it was when it began in the early 1970s.

For 16 consecutive years, parents have donated more than $1 million to offset operating expenses. Through this partnership, Jesuit is able to keep tuition at an affordable level for as many families.

Jesuit’s tuition remains one of the lowest among parochial and private schools in the New Orleans area and is, by far, the lowest among traditional Jesuit schools nationwide.

Jesuit thanks 2018–19 PAG chairman Mike Varisco ’83, his 16 grade-level chairs, and 300 plus captains who helped ensure the success of the 201819 drive.

GIVING BY PARENTS OF ALUMNI Another area of annual support comes from Jesuit’s parents of alumni (POA). Current parents who are not alumni transition into the parents of alumni group after their sons graduate.

Many parents of alumni remain connected to Jesuit long after their sons graduate from Carrollton & Banks, participating in events such as Celebration, the Jesuit Mothers’ Luncheon, Blue Jay Bazaar, and Evenings of Reflection. In fiscal year 2019, parents of alumni donated $68,643.

Scholarships Scholarship donations become part of Jesuit’s endowment, which funds financial aid for deserving and qualifying families. In FY 2019, a total of 599 benefactors donated a total of $547,628 to Jesuit’s scholarship program.

The amount to fully endow a Full Education Fund (FEF) is $250,000. The annual income from an FEF equals the amount of a full-cost tuition (tuition and gap).

The amount of a fully-endowed scholarship is $75,000. The annual income from this scholarship funds the average financial aid grant.

All fully endowed scholarships at Jesuit High School are listed in this report.

Existing partial scholarships are listed if they are active and have reached 25% of their fully endowed amount.

In FY 2014, Jesuit received its first (FEF) from the Wally Pontiff, Jr. Foundation: the Wally Pontiff, Jr. ’99 & Fr. Raymond

Fitzgerald, S.J. ’76 Full Education Fund.

In FY 2017, Jesuit received its largest gift to date from the succession of Hazel & William Manion ’33. Their $2.4 million bequest established the Hazel & William Manion Full Education Fund, which will benefit Blue Jays and their families for generations to come.

To learn more about establishing scholarships at Jesuit, contact Tom Bagwill, Jesuit’s director of institutional advancement, at (504) 483-3841 or bagwill@jesuitnola.org.

The Maisounabe Bequest Society The Maisounabe Bequest Society — formed in 1987 and named in honor of Fr. Jean Baptiste Maisounabe, S.J., the founder of Jesuit High School — recognizes living and deceased benefactors who have already provided or intend to contribute planned gifts to Jesuit High School. Such extraordinary gifts are typically made through bequests, annuities, charitable trusts, or life insurance policies.

The cross symbol (†) denotes the person is deceased. With couples, if the † is placed after a first name, only that person is deceased. When the † is inserted at the end of a couple’s name, both individuals are deceased.

Information about the various ways that charitable gift planning can benefit you and Jesuit is available at jesuitnola.org/planned-giving. You may also contact Tom Bagwill, director of Jesuit’s office of institutional advancement, at (504) 483-3841 or bagwill@jesuitnola.org.

VOLUNTEERS PAGE TITLE

At Jesuit High School, it is not the exclusive domain of the faculty and administration to educate its students and develop in them the competence, conscience, and compassion to enable their formation into Men of Faith and Men for Others. The Jesuit Community is fortunate and blessed to be able to rely on an extensive network of volunteers who play supportive and

pivotal leadership roles. Jesuit is grateful to its fleet of volunteers—enthusiastic and dedicated parents, alumni, and parents of alumni—for their unselfish contributions of time and talent. Jesuit is proud to recognize the many faithful volunteers who served on various boards and committees during the 2019 fiscal year. 
