Graduation Throug h the Years
L E T T E R FROM THE PR ESI DENT/CH I EF ADMI NI STRAT O R
Dear Friends, 50! Wow! This past June, Northwest Catholic celebrated its first 50th class reunion! The Class of 1965 converged on Wampanoag Country Club to be our first class to celebrate 50 years of graduation from our wonderful school. We honored them at our Commencement exercises on June 3rd, and then had a wonderful reunion evening on June 6th. The Class of 1965 had 268 graduates who have taken residence across the country and around the world. After several summers of significant construction, things will settle down at NWC this year. We have plans for some roof work and exterior lighting, but no major projects on the books. The past three summers have seen the construction of the atrium in front of the school, a new parking lot, all new windows and doors, additional air conditioning in parts of the building, and of course a complete conversion of our boiler room from oil to natural gas. If you haven’t been back in a while, please come by and see how good your school looks! At the time of printing of this magazine, we are on pace to meet our enrollment goals for next fall, tracking to meet our fundraising goals, and continue to maintain a strong financial position in the Archdiocese. Our performing arts students continue to win local and national accolades, and our athletes have had a remarkable year. Northwest Catholic is in great shape! We look forward to introducing one to one iPad learning for next fall as we begin to introduce much more modern technology in the building. We have also hired a Director of Leadership, Mary Roberts ’96, to develop a new curriculum of learning that turns out leaders upon graduation. We are so very excited to see where this new venture takes us! On behalf of everyone at Northwest Catholic, thank you for your continued support of your school.
David C. Eustis President & Chief Administrator

E D I TO R ' S N OT E Graduation – the day every high school student looks forward to, some from the first day of freshman year. On June 4, 2014, Northwest Catholic celebrated the Commencement of its 50th graduating class. This issue of Logos highlights the remarkable Class of 2014 and looks back to the 49 other classes of NWC graduates on their graduation day. Thank you to everyone who sent in their graduation photos and memories! This year also marks the 50th anniversary of the graduation of the Class of 1965 – NWC’s first graduating class! Watch for highlights from their 50th reunion and a look at what some members of the Class of 1965 have done over the past 50 years in a future issue of Logos.
LOGOS The Greek word or logos (pronounced lo-gaas) is defined as “word” or “meaning.” St. John’s Gospel opens: “In the beginning was Logos (the Word), and Logos was with God, and Logos was God.” The phrase “Word (Logos) of God,” found in John 1:1 and elsewhere, shows God’s desire and ability to “speak” to the human. The Dominican Sisters of St. Mary of the Springs (the founding Order of Northwest Catholic) have been noted for their effective ability to preach the word. The mission of the Dominicans is to provide intellectual formation, social communication, and service through word and action. Our publication, Logos, conveys our mission and values through this medium of the word. Logos is published twice a year by the Communications Department of Northwest Catholic High School.

C OVER STORY
Half a Century of Excellence:
Northwest Catholic Bids Farewell to School’s 50th Graduating Class Northwest Catholic’s Class of 2014 graduated on June 4, 2014 in a beautiful ceremony inside the majestic Cathedral of St. Joseph in Hartford. Most Rev. Leonard P. Blair, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Hartford, presided over the school’s 50th commencement.
NWC Valedictorian Sarah Pranaitis ’14 addresses her classmates.
Dr. Ann McElaney-Johnson ’75, President of Mount St. Mary’s College in Los Angeles, CA, delivered the inspirational and nostalgic Commencement address. “As you go, be open to the possibilities ahead. You are about to write the next chapter of your life. Make it spectacular,” she said. “Be the light we so desperately need in this world. Be great in all you do.” She also offered advice collected from students at Mount St. Mary’s College for the new graduates: “Get involved. Take risks. Be comfortable doing things outside your comfort zone. Embrace the unknown. Ask for help when you need it. Take classes on subjects you know little to nothing about. Stay on top of your finances. Be passionate about your goals and don’t give up. Take advantage of every opportunity that is presented to you. Develop new skills. Let go of anxiety and fear. Ask questions. Believe in yourself. Be you. And finally, my favorite, don’t be afraid of greatness.”
’14 offers argaret Rose M n ia or at ut tion. NWC Sal during gradua her reflections
Sarah Pranaitis ’14 of Windsor and Margaret Rose ’14 of West Hartford gave the valedictory and salutatory addresses, respectively. In her address, Pranaitis spoke on her classmates’ quest to determine the meaning of life and the lessons they learned, both from their teachers and each other. “We have taught each other so much over the years, about honesty, loyalty, love, faith, and friendship; and it is from these same lessons that we learn more about ourselves,” she said. “We learn that we are stronger than we think, smarter than we think, and braver than we think; not because of our own confidence, but because of the support and reassurance we gain from each other.”

graduation day.
She continued: “Whether we are in the classroom, on the field, or on the stage, we have the ability to be inspired by the encouragement and belief others have in us, and we become something greater than just our individual selves. We have become a true team, a true band, a true club, and ultimately, throughout our years together in high school, we have become a true class; one that is not concerned about the ‘I’ or the ‘me,’ but rather about the ‘we’ and the ‘you.’” Pranaitis noted that the years the members of the Class of 2014 spent at Northwest Catholic helped them begin to find the answer to the meaning of life. “The complete answer is far more complex than the simple sentence – the purpose of life is to live,” she said. “There is more to life than just living, breathing, and eating; there is learning, loving, and enjoying. The purpose of life is not solely based on one singular life, but rather on how one life can affect others. By journeying through life together with family, friends, and classmates, we are able to experience everything life has to offer, making our own lives truly unique, extraordinary, and full of purpose.”

Rose, in her address, offered her fellow classmates what she called ‘five truths to Northwest Catholic’:
THE MAG AZINE OF NOR THWES T CATHOLIC
C OVER STORY 1. “In your time of need, red punch and cookies will always be there to save the day. 2. ‘Tuck in, button up’ is not just a saying, it is a way of life. 3. Parking spots are personal. 4. Northwest Catholic is the place where you know you belong. 5. Our class has truly excelled in every area possible.” She went on to comment on how her class had grown and changed together. “Our diverse community enabled us to see past the surface and accept each other for who we really are. Four years ago we awkwardly started to get to know one another during ice breakers in orientation, and ever since then we have grown together as a class,” Rose said. “With the help of presentations and retreats, our class was able to form bonds that will withstand the test of time. Every student, teacher, faculty and staff add to the tight knit community we know of as Northwest Catholic, a place we will always hold dear in our hearts.”
Abigaile San ds ’09 with m om Terri-Ann Trifari Sands ’81
She added, “Our time here has given us the foundation and skills that we need to enter the world, pursue our passions, and achieve our dreams. It is imperative we do not forget that we would not be sitting in these seats if it had not been for the people that have pushed us to do our best. Our teachers, friends, families, and our faith have all made it possible for us to raise our personal banners.” The 50th graduating class had 139 students, including 23 whose parents were also Northwest Catholic alums, and they came from 30 towns. West Hartford and Windsor were home to the largest number of graduates (28 each), followed by Bloomfield (13) and Hartford (9). A total of 79 students graduated with honors or highest honors. The vast majority – 98% – of the graduating class attends college, at such schools as the University of Notre Dame, Georgetown University, Amherst College, Williams College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Connecticut, to name just a few. The 50th graduating class included one National Merit Finalist; seven other students honored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation; three students who were named “Summa Scholars” by the Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of Hartford; five Division I athletes; and eight students who plan to play Division II or III sports in college. “This graduating class has demonstrated leadership at all levels of achievement, whether it be in the classroom, athletic arena, or performing arts,” stated Northwest Catholic High School President / Chief Administrator David Eustis. “They have left an indelible mark on our school and community.”

Graduation Reflections of NWC Leaders “I’m very pleased that the school is still alive and flourishing,” said Rev. William O’Keefe, principal of Northwest Catholic from 1968 to 1977. “I’m proud of all the kids who came through the school. Their achievements are something Northwest Catholic can be very proud of.”

Rev. Henry C. Frascadore, NWC President from 1985 -1996, agrees. “I’m very proud of what the students and teachers are doing in the school,” he said. “The same spirit that was in the school at the beginning is the same spirit that is there now.”

Baccalaureate Mass: A Graduation Tradition Another long-standing graduation tradition at Northwest Catholic is the Baccalaureate Mass. This ceremony allows the graduates and their families to celebrate Mass as a community before the pomp and circumstance of Commencement. Held on June 3, 2014 in the Richard Rice Auditorium at Northwest Catholic, the Baccalaureate Mass for the Class of 2014 was a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony, presided over by NWC chaplain Rev. Emmanuel Ihemedu and priests from several of the graduates’ home parishes. Members of the Class of 2014 also received copies of the New Testament to serve as guides for them during college and beyond. The evening also featured reflections from Zara Lenihan ’14 and Christopher Gosselin ’14. Here are excerpts from their speeches. Zara Lenihan ’14: “What we’ve formed over the past 4 years is something we’re taking for granted right now. As hesitant as we are to admit it, deep down we do love Northwest and everything it has done for us… I came into this school just as nervous and three times as shy as any freshman. I was nervous to even talk to people and was afraid I wouldn’t fit in, and this year I was voted most outgoing in our class superlatives. That is a change only a school like Northwest could bring to someone.” “The most valuable thing Northwest has given me is the understanding of what being a community really is. Every school has the smart kids, the athletes, the popular kids, the drama kids, the kids who are super involved, and the kids who couldn’t seem to care less, but at NWC you find all these kids participating in a club or volunteer opportunity together, or cheering together in the Belly of the Beast, or even sitting around the same lunch table. Northwest is where you find star athletes tutoring underclassmen, and the kid who goes out with friends on Friday but gets up early on Saturday to volunteer. It is at this very school I learned to cherish differences and praise people for valuable accomplishments, something many people struggle with doing their whole lives and thanks to this school I am confident saying my class and I have mastered it as teenagers. Northwest has nurtured me in a way that I am now so content with who I am that I have the ability to love and accept others for exactly who they are.” Christopher Gosselin ’14: “Hold true to yourself. Remember to hold onto your value system, your work ethic, and most importantly, your faith. It is these qualities that will guide you further on your journey. In addition, today’s achievements may fade and your certificates and medals may gather dust on a shelf or in a drawer. But, you will always be remembered for caring enough, for helping someone, for making someone feel special and appreciated for being the kind of person that others enjoy spending time with.” “We now know where we belong. We belong in the ecstatic crowds cheering on our sports teams. We belong in rows of the Rice watching beautifully performed plays and recitals. We belong in the clubs that we have had so much fun in. We belong in the hearts and minds of all those we have touched. We belong in the Northwest Catholic graduating class of 2014, the place we know we belong.”

N EW S FROM 2 9 WA MP NORTHWEST CATHOLIC LENDS A HELPING HAND TO FIGHT GLOBAL HUNGER More than 50 Northwest Catholic students and faculty volunteers turned out for the school’s Helping Hands meal packaging event on May 7, 2014. Helping Hands is a hands-on volunteer mealpackaging event developed by Catholic Relief Services and Stop Hunger Now.
More information on the Helping Hands project can be found at http://helpinghands.crs.org/.
During the event, Northwest Catholic students, parents, and faculty worked in teams to put together the packages of rice, soy flour, vitamins and dehydrated vegetables, weigh them, seal them, put them in boxes, and load the truck. The group packaged 10,000 meals during the two-hour event. The packages were sent to a village in the West African country of Burkina Faso. “There was so much energy on the part of the kids and there were so many ready to help,” said Director of Campus Ministry Kristina Gillespie. “We have a lot of students who really have a heart for service and this was a unique and fun way to serve and strengthen our school community.” Throughout the 2014 Lenten season, members of the Northwest Catholic community were asked to give up something each week, such as a cup of coffee, and donate the money they saved to the project. Over $5000 was raised for Helping Hands, which paid for the food and will also help fund programs and initiatives to enable the people of Burkina Faso learn to grow their own food and better their lives and their community.
NWC HOSTS 7TH ANNUAL JAZZ CABARET NIGHT The NWC Music Department held the seventh annual Jazz Cabaret Night on May 3, 2014. The event featured performances by NWC’s Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Singers, and

THREE NWC STUDENTS ARE NAMED SUPERINTENDENT’S “SUMMA SCHOLARS”
The Summa Scholars and their honored teachers (from left): Ronald Swanson, Grace Deneen ’14, Margaret Rose ’14, Deborah Metzler, Sarah Pranaitis ’14 and Joan Keating-McKeon Three outstanding members of the NWC Class of 2014 – Grace Deneen, Sarah Pranaitis and Margaret Rose – were named “Summa Scholars” by Dr. Dale R. Hoyt, Superintendent of Schools for the Archdiocese of Hartford, in recognition of superior academic achievement. To qualify for the award, which was given to 63 seniors from the eight Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Hartford, students needed a grade point average of 4.3 or 98% through the first semester of grade 12. The students were honored during a ceremony and reception at St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield on May 5. Each Summa Scholar was invited to name the teacher from a Catholic elementary or secondary school who had been the most influential in the student’s education. These teachers were also honored during the ceremony. The Summa Scholars received bronze medallions engraved with their names, the crest of the Archdiocese, and a prayer:
“May you find truth through faith, knowledge, and wisdom.” The students presented certificates of recognition to their mentor teacher. Northwest Catholic’s Summa Scholars, and the teachers they selected, are: •
Grace Deneen ’14 of Windsor – enrolled at Northeastern University; honored Ronald Swanson (Latin teacher)
•
Sarah Pranaitis ’14 of Windsor – enrolled at Seton Hall University; honored Joan Keating-McKeon (English teacher)
•
Margaret Rose ’14 of West Hartford – enrolled at the University of Notre Dame; honored Deborah Metzler (Mathematics teacher)
NORTHWEST CATHOLIC’S 2014 AP SCORES TOP STATE AVERAGE Northwest Catholic’s 2014 Advanced Placement scores are the highest in school history and surpass the Connecticut average.

The College Board has also announced that 46 students from Northwest Catholic have been named AP Scholars for 2014, based on exceptional achievement on AP exams. This is the highest number of AP Scholars in school history. In total, 162 Northwest Catholic students took 284 AP exams in 2014. Seven students were named AP Scholars with Distinction, earning an average score of 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and a score of 3 or higher

BAD AUDITIONS BY BAD ACTORS On May 23, 2014, the NWC Dramateurs presented the one-act play, Bad Auditions by Bad Actors. A casting director (Allyson Voelker ’17) has one day to find the leads for a community theater production of Romeo and Juliet. But what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of actors includes extreme method actors, performers who just don’t know what to do with their hands, and one particular woman who may or may not think that she is a cat. The production was directed by Mary Buckley ’15 and also featured Charles Faselle ’15, Colleen McAnaney ’16, Jacquelyn Collas ’16, Ryan DeFranzo ’14, Mary Buckley ’15, Katharine Katrichis ’15, Matthew Mitchell ’16, Ryan Del Monaco ’14 and Shannon McMahon ’16.
BARNUM From April 4-6, 2014, the NWC Dramateurs presented the musical Barnum. The musical tells the story of showman and Connecticut native P.T. Barnum (Ryan DeFranzo ’14) and the famous personalities he showcased, including Tom Thumb (Matthew Marshall ’15) and Jenny Lind (Jacquelyn Collas ’16). The show also featured a variety of circus acts, including jugglers, tumblers and aerialists – skills learned by many of the students specifically for this show. A carnival, complete with games and prizes, was held before each performance. The show also featured Olivia Fenton ’15 as Charity Barnum, Emily Driscoll ’17 as Joice Heith, Gabriella Fenton ’17 as the Blues Singer, and Matthew Sottile ’16 as the Ringmaster. The production was directed by Sara Avery, with choreography by Kate Morran.

NORTHWEST CATHOLIC WELCOMES CLASS OF 2018 also benefits teachers who work in multiple classrooms, allowing them to use one device rather than logging into a different computer for each class. The iPad program is expected to be expanded to students for the 2015-2016 school year. Several new faculty members joined the Northwest Catholic community this year. Keith Blum is the new Assistant to the Athletic Director. Dr. Margaret Colvin is a new French teacher and William Lorusso will be teaching both English and Civics. Linda Crawford joined the school as a Mathematics teacher, while Chanisa Bottali joined Northwest Catholic as a Mathematics and Science teacher. Michael Catanese joined the Science Department as a part-time teacher. Northwest Catholic welcomed the members of the Class of 2018 on September 2, 2014. The students in the freshman class come from 27 towns across Connecticut, with the most coming from West Hartford (25), Hartford (17) and Bloomfield (11). One international student is part of the class, as well. Members of the Class of 2018 were helped on their first day by 100 Freshman Contacts, members of the Class of 2015 who volunteered their time to lead orientation activities for the freshmen and help them find their way around the school.
In addition, Beth Oates ’94 and Jennifer Montoney are serving as joint Deans of Students for the 2014-2015 school year. Mrs. Oates serves as the 9th and 10th grade Dean, and Mrs. Montoney serves as the 11th and 12th grade Dean. They oversee all the activities, discipline, and communication with these grades.
Nearly two dozen students transferred in to grades 10, 11 and 12, including eight international students. Northwest Catholic now has a total of 19 international students, coming from China, India, Germany and Spain. iPads were purchased for all teachers, as part of ongoing efforts to increase the use of technology in the classroom. The iPad program allows teachers to take advantage of the school’s wireless network and enables them to incorporate a variety of apps, websites and other multimedia sources into lessons. It

SUMMER 2014 BRINGS CHANGES TO THE NWC BUILDING Last summer, the school converted its heating system from oil to natural gas, removing two large boilers and a massive oil tank from the back of the school. The school also finished replacing the exterior windows with new, more energy efficient windows. Both projects are expected to save the school on long-term energy costs. Air conditioning has been installed in the Richard Rice Auditorium and new lighting bollards were installed in the front parking lot to improve visibility. The bollards are a gift from the parents of the Class of 2014.
LEGACY OF FATHER FRASCADORE HONORED One of NWC’s summer projects also honored the legacy of one of its leaders. A section of hallways was renovated to become the Rev. Henry C. Frascadore Hall of Achievement, in honor of the former school president. The new area features flat screen televisions that highlight Northwest Catholic achievement in academics, athletics and the performing arts, as well as the achievement of Northwest Catholic alumni. The school’s trophy cases have been updated, as has the school’s Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame display area. There is also a display in tribute to South Catholic High School, where Father Frascadore was principal for many years. The hallway renovation project was made possible by gifts from members of the Northwest Catholic High School and the former South Catholic High School communities. The Hall of Achievement was blest and dedicated by Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus Peter A. Rosazza on November 18, 2014. The dedication began with Mass led by Father Frascadore in the Richard Rice Auditorium, followed by a formal blessing in the Hall of Achievement. In his remarks during Mass, Father Frascadore called Northwest Catholic students the hope of the future, telling them,
“Do not be afraid. Do not let anyone stop you from doing what you were meant to do.” Bishop Rosazza, as he blessed the Hall of Achievement, said he hoped that many of the current Northwest Catholic students’ names would one day grace the Hall of Achievement for the work they had accomplished at Northwest Catholic and beyond.

ENDOWED AND ANNUAL SCHOLARSHIPS
For more than 20 years, alumni, parents, friends, and organizations have chosen to honor an individual, a family, or a mission while helping students in financial need by funding an endowed or annual scholarship. A portion of the annual earnings of an endowed scholarship fund ensures that deserving students can take advantage of the educational opportunity available at Northwest Catholic. Endowed scholarship funds are essential to ensuring an economically diverse school community and are a critical component in Northwest Catholic’s tradition of supporting students with financial need. Endowed scholarships may be initiated with a gift of $25,000. Annual scholarships may be established with a gift of $5,000 or more, provided it is the donor’s intent to make a multi-year annual commitment. Endowed Scholarships

A RAINY DAY FOR THE 37TH ANNUAL NWC GOLF TOURNAMENT A wet day for the 37th Annual NWC Golf Tournament could not dampen the spirits of its enthusiastic participants and volunteers, who enjoyed another great day at Wampanoag Country Club on June 9, 2014. While the afternoon started out with a little bit of sun, the clouds soon rolled in, bringing in rain and wind that would challenge the golfers on and off for the rest of the afternoon. The foursome of Dominic Lopreato, Guy Miano, Mike Sapere and Richard Arnold took first gross honors among the golfers, with the team of Brendan Canny ’86, Dave Eustis, Jeff Roman and Bill Hardy taking second gross honors. The team of Jed Hayes ’73, Mike Klimas ’73, Robert Gigliotti ’73 and Anthony Mascolo ’73 took first net honors, with the foursome of Matthew Hennessy ’88, Robert Chamerda ’88, Mark Murnane ’88 and Kevin Baker ’88 taking second net honors.
The day’s second gross winners take a break from their game.
Nineteen sponsors, over 100 registered golfers, and many live and silent auction donors helped raise over $43,000 for the Northwest Catholic Fund to provide tuition assistance for NWC students.

S PO RT S NEW S FROM THE DESK OF ATHLETIC DIRECTOR MATTHEW MARTORELLI ’03 At the end of every season, I always ask myself, “How are we going to top this one?” This past fall season was very special for many reasons – one of which was the number of participants in fall sports. I am continually amazed by the participation levels that Northwest Catholic continues to put out each and every season. Last year, we had just over 82% participation in athletics from our student body. This year, I feel it is safe to say that we are going to be looking at an even higher number. With increased participation, we have an opportunity to see more competition and this fall clearly proved that as Football, Field Hockey, Girls’ Soccer, Girls’ Volleyball and Cross Country each made runs at State Championships.
FALL ’14 GIRLS’ SOCCER
As you will see below, each team had its own special moments this fall, but I wanted to touch on one moment in particular. This season, we had a chance to witness a special moment – the last time that we would see Mike Tyler ’73 walk (or drive) off of Neil J. Brewer Field as Head Football Coach, as he retired at the end of the season. During his time at Northwest Catholic, Coach Tyler led his teams to an overall record of 105-61-1, coached 34 of the school’s 50 All-State football players, brought Northwest Catholic to a very impressive nine State Playoff appearances (including one trip to the State Finals), and was named Coach of the Year in 2005. He eclipsed the 100 win mark during a 26-7 victory at home against Tolland. We have certainly been lucky to have him over the past 15 seasons, but for selfish reasons are even luckier to continue to have him in the school as Northwest Catholic’s Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Coaches Award), Mary Lichacz ’15, Fiona Shea ’15 (Captain) and Alicia Susi ’15. In the fall, the team will look for leadership in Mackenzie Tibball ’16 and Rachel Elliot ’16, who return after earning AllConference honors.
BOYS’ SOCCER
Kelsey Dornfried ’16 (#4) heads down the field, as Michaela Noelle Casey ’16 (#2) keeps an eye on an opposing player. The Northwest Catholic Girls’ Soccer team had a great overall season. Head Coach Todd Sadler really prepared his team for crucial games down the stretch, which was evident as the team made it to the CIAC Quarterfinals, losing during penalty kicks to the eventual Class L Champion. They finished with a regular season record of 105-1 and improved upon that to a 12-6-1 overall record. The team was led by a strong senior class including Madison Borowiec ’15 (Captain, MVP, All-Conference, AllState), Charlotte Carew ’15 (Captain,
Under the direction of Head Coach Terry Phillip, the Northwest Catholic Boys’ Soccer team finished the season with a 3-11-2 record. They played extremely hard in every game, with 10 out of their 11 losses decided by only one or two goals. A few
more wins and the team could have made a deep run into the CIAC Class S playoffs. The team was led by its senior class, which included Christopher Allen ’15, Marino Boccuzzi ’15 (Captain, MVP), Nicholas Boccuzzi ’15, Liam Cavanaugh ’15 (AllConference), Preston Lorenz ’15 (Coaches Award), Matthew Marshall ’15, Robert Place ’15 (All-Conference, All-State), Nicholas Ravosa ’15, Liam Walsh ’15 and Logan Wolf ’15. Head Coach Terry Phillip is looking forward to next season as he returns a very talented group, including six rising seniors.
Robert Place ’15 (#8) looks to get the ball past an opponent, with Oliver Hasson ’16 (#6) ready to defend the goal. THE MAG AZINE OF NOR THWES T CATHOLIC

NORTHWEST CATHOLIC NAMES NEW HEAD FOOTBALL COACH Northwest Catholic High School President / Chief Administrator Dave Eustis has announced that Brett Quinion has been named the new Head Football Coach at the school. Brett replaces long-time coach, Mike Tyler ’73, who retired from coaching at the end of the 2014 football season. Brett served as the Defensive Coordinator at Bristol Eastern High School from 1999-2002. In 2002, he was named Head Coach at Avon High School, achieving an overall record of 6837. In Brett’s last five years as coach at Avon, he accumulated a record of 46-5 with five consecutive Pequot League Championships and three trips to the CIAC State Tournament. He stepped down as Head Coach in Avon at the end of the 2012 season. From 1976-2012, Brett Quinion was the owner and founder of Quinoco, Inc, a retail fuel oil company based out of Bristol, CT. “I consider it a great honor and privilege to be coaching football at Northwest Catholic High School,” said Quinion. “Coach Tyler and his program have been a model of excellence and consistency. We will strive to represent our school well and continue to keep the Northwest Catholic tradition going.” Northwest Catholic President / Chief Administrator Dave Eustis states, “Brett is a welcome addition to the Northwest
athletic department and community. I believe his style and experience will be wonderful for current and future student-athletes at Northwest Catholic. We look forward to Brett’s leadership in the years to come.”
FORMER NWC ATHLETIC DIRECTOR INDUCTED INTO SEYMOUR HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS HALL OF FAME The late Walter Stosuy, former Northwest Catholic Athletic Director and coach, was inducted posthumously into the Seymour High School Sports Hall of Fame on Nov. 1, 2014. Stosuy, a 1955 graduate of Seymour High School, was honored for his athletic performance on the Seymour High School football field and basketball court. He came to NWC in 1962, establishing the football program in 1964 and teaching and coaching several NWC teams over the next 40 years. Stosuy was part of the first class of Northwest Catholic’s Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005. He died in 2010. His daughter, Ellyn Stosuy, accepted the honor on his behalf, saying that while “he earned this award through his excellent athletic statistics… it wasn’t the statistics that we loved about Walter Stosuy but the person, his eccentricities, his charm and his big heart. He loved being a part of this community and he would be pleased and moved that you remembered him and embraced and included him in your celebration.”

IN MEMORIAM Northwest Catholic extends its prayers and sympathies to the families of those in our community who passed away April 1, 2014 - September, 30 2014. To ensure accuracy, we require that In Memoriam notices be accompanied by a newspaper obituary. Please notify KSpera@nwcath.org of any errors or omissions.
“Madame, I can still remember being in your class,” wrote C. Tina Spagna-Czaczkes ’66. “Thank you so much for introducing me to the love of languages.” “She was such an awesome French teacher and inspired me to pursue my own degree en Français,” said Jacki Cyr Kendall ’68. “I will always remember her as my special mentor with an incredible smile and genuine interest in me as her student!” “Mrs. Weldon instilled in me a lifelong love of the French language and inspired me to become a true Francophile,” recalled Judy Young Burt ’74. “I will always remember her fondly and I can still hear her lilting ‘Bonjour!’ in my head.” “We will miss you,” wrote Renee Roberts Santos ’81. “I will always remember you and ‘en Français, s’il vous plaît.’ You challenged us and we were better for it.” That sentiment was echoed by those who worked with Claire.
C
laire Weldon, a French teacher at Northwest Catholic from 1963 to 1981, passed away on July 7, 2014 at age 96.
“Claire Weldon was a giant of a woman, who towered just under five feet in height,” said NWC Spanish teacher Barbara Fanning Iorillo ’69. “Her bubbly personality filled the halls of Northwest Catholic High School and the hearts of her students and colleagues alike. She was a powerhouse of energy who inspired those who knew her to give their all and to give their best.”
Claire was born in Brooklyn, NY, to the late Frank and Mary D’Amico. She was a graduate of Brooklyn College, and earned her master’s degree in French from New York University at the age of 20. She is survived by her daughters; Patricia Weldon McAlary-Losee ’65 and her husband Gridley Losee of Boxford, MA, Kathleen Weldon Tyler ’71 and her husband Robert of Norwich, CT, her grandchildren; Ryan McAlary, Todd Steigman and his wife Sandy, Jeffery Steigman and his wife Christine, and her three great grandchildren; Madison, Taylor and Connor Steigman. As a French teacher at NWC, Claire was known for her love of the language and her cheerful personality – a sentiment reflected by her students in tributes posted online following her death. “She believed in me and I became so good at writing and speaking in French because she gave me the confidence I lacked. I can still hear her voice in my mind calling out, ‘La cloche a sonné!’ to be certain we were on time for class!” recalled Denise Salone Zalaski ’81. “But beyond all she taught me, I so treasured her sweet and kind personality. She taught me so much and I try to follow her example as I teach my students today. What a beautiful woman!”

“She joyfully helped the student in need,” Iorillo added. “She was very calming to a new teacher, worried about her first formal observation. She said, ‘Don’t worry, Barb. You won’t even know that I am in the room.’ Then, when she came in, she sat in the back, behind a student that hid her from view. When our eyes did happen to meet as I walked around the room teaching, she would smile and nod… She knew and practiced her profession well.”

They have also given back generously to support their school’s mission. The 1961 Society is established to encourage future support of Northwest Catholic through planned gifts to increase endowment. This effort assures a continued strong financial future and allows us to provide financial aid to deserving students, as well as keeping future costs of a Northwest Catholic education as manageable as possible. To the right is a listing of current members of the society. We would be pleased to learn of others who may have made this provision, or are considering it.

Phil and Susan Kelly Phil and Susan Kelly believe in the mission of Catholic school education and have decided to support Northwest Catholic through a planned gift. Phil’s daughter, Laura Kelly ’77, and granddaughter, Jacqueline Tanzella ’01, are both NWC graduates, as is Susan’s daughter, Elizabeth Forand Morrisroe ’83. Phil served on the NWC School Board from 1999-2005 and owns his own business, The P.F. Kelly Company – a manufacturer’s representative agency business. Susan was a teacher, a director of volunteers and, for the last 17 years of her career, has taught financial education throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Both Phil and Sue value Northwest Catholic for its academic strength as well as its commitment to developing the whole student – intellectually, physically and spiritually.
