juniors and seniors complete intense service experiences as part of their religious studies curriculum. These opportunities have fostered bonds that transcend the classroom and continue after the school year ends. I am proud to report that many of our recent alumni have carried on their commitment to service after graduating from Mount. Further, our Best Buddies program has afforded students and staff alike the privilege of working with young people who have developmental challenges. Twice each month they visit Mount and have lunch with our students. Activities for each season of the year highlight these visits. The seeds planted by the family and cultivated by Mount have yielded a great harvest for the Kingdom of God. Thank you for the good that you do, both seen and unseen, to live the Gospel. Loved be the Heart of Jesus.

Mount saint Charles academy inducts the First Fine arts hall of Fame Class! The purpose of the Mount Saint Charles Academy Fine Arts Hall of Fame is to recognize and celebrate individuals who best exemplify the spirit of Mount Saint Charles Academy through their contributions and service to as well as their achievements in the Fine Arts. The ceremony was held in Chapel Hall on Saturday, April 27th at the Excelsior Dinner.

Front left to right: Julie Gramolini Williams, ’93; Maryanne Donohue. Back left to right: John Guevremont, ’76 & MSC English Department Chairperson; Ronald Blais, ’70; Roger Bultot, ’70; George Lessard, ’62; Marc Blanchette, ’76 & MSC Fine Arts Department Co-Chairperson

ronald Blais, ’70 – A retired Chief Master Sergeant in the US Air Force, he is the former Principal Trumpet Soloist of the US Air Force Band. He has performed with various symphony orchestras, on Broadway, and with opera productions in California. He has also contributed to many well-known film and video game scores and recorded over fifty albums and CD’s. A dedicated instrumentalist and teacher, he has worked with students in All-State and Youth Orchestra, and continues to coach local youth bands and orchestras. He also serves as an officer in the American Federation of Musicians Union. roger Bultot, ’70 – A life-long passion for the visual arts led this talented and accomplished artist to a career in depicting urban scenes of workingclass neighborhoods in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. The designer of the seal for the Woonsocket Harris Public Library, he has had works exhibited in many prestigious art museums, both in America and abroad. Among his many honors are the Pollock-Krasner Foundation art grant and several Rhode Island College and Roger Williams College Art Merit Awards.

Maryanne Donohue – In the late 70’s, when Mount lacked the personnel and facilities to offer a vocal and musical theater program, she initiated “Cabaret,” serving as musical director and primary accompanist. For the next decade, her tireless efforts, recruitment of other parent volunteers, and artistic direction allowed hundreds of Mount students the opportunity to learn about theater and express themselves through song, drama, and dance. paul r. Ducharme, ’48 – “Mount’s Norman Rockwell” was an incomparable artist, cartoonist, designer, and architect. His creative accomplishments ran the gamut from his legendary seventeenpage cartoon spread in the 1948 MSC yearbook, to award-winning Mardi Gras floats, to immense projects as head designer at Hotel Corporation of America and the Sheraton Corporation. A four-year Air Force veteran, “Duche” was regarded as one of the top interior designers in the country. He is remembered as a caring person with a great sense of humor and a keen eye for observing nature “whose single life was a marriage of almost pure creative ability to the aesthetic and practical” forms of art.

george lessard, ’62 – One of Rhode Island’s legendary band directors, this former student of Br. Henry Peter Lussier dedicated his professional life to teaching instrumental music to Ponaganset Middle School students. For more than three decades, he inspired hundreds of young musicians and his bands have received numerous accolades at various music conventions and competitions throughout the Northeast. On the state level, he has contributed to music as a Winds Coach for the RI Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and as a long-time member of the RI Philharmonic. Brother henri-pierre lussier, s.C. – An almost mythic figure in high school music, “HP”was a tireless and beloved teacher, band director, and mentor to thousands of students, future musicians, and future music educators. In addition to his two decades as Mount Saint Charles band director and Music Department Chair, he inspired young musicians at many locations, including St. Dominic’s in Lewiston, Maine and St. Francis Secondary School in Zambia, Africa. His work with young musicians in Rhode Island, including his role as organizer at the annual URI Summer Music Camp, led him to be honored as the first recipient of the RIMEA Meritorious Service Award. “HP” provided the bedrock upon which Mount’s outstanding music program was founded and continues to thrive. Julie gramolini Williams, ’93 – As a current oboist with the Minnesota Symphony, this talented musician has found success at every level of her musical career from her undergraduate days in the Oberlin Wind Ensemble, to several prestigious symphonies and opera companies, to the United States Air Force Band of the West. She was the recipient of a full-tuition Merit Scholarship to Rice University and has played in musical festivals throughout the United States, and in France and Italy. She has also fostered the musical aspirations of young musicians as a private teacher, in programs with high school students, and at the University of Michigan and Macalester College.

our Friends from the st. Columba’s school in england spent time at MsC In April, Mount hosted eight students and two chaperones from our sister school, the St. Columba’s School, a Brothers of the Sacred Heart School in England. Our students served as hosts and escorted the English students during their stay. While at MSC, the boys from St. Columba’s worked on a project they have were assigned: to see how we bring the Charism to life in our daily routines. Not only were they very interested in how our education system differs from the English system, but they greatly enjoyed the opportunity to be immersed in the culture of the American family. During their time at Mount, the boys from St. Columba’s were involved in our Athletics program, spent time at MSC with students

Brother Marty Visits two alumni at an art Convention in texas! At the beginning of March, Brother Marcel Leclerc, S.C., better known by the students as Br. Marty, attended the National Convention of Art Educators at Fort Worth, Texas. Among the presenters were two of Br. Marty’s former students: Mrs. Denise (Gremier) Rudd, Class of 1988 and Mrs. Michelle (Morrisette) Turner, Class of 1991. (Pictured are Br. Marty & Michelle at Mount 2013 Fine Arts Day). “I am very proud of my two former students,” Br. Marty said. “Mrs. Rudd presented a new form of pen and ink design called zentangle and Mrs. Turner presented ’Essential Questions in Art’ as a guide to an entire year of art education for elementary grades.”

Mr. Lawrence Joins the RI Interscholastic League’s Athletic Hall of Fame

ing career came during the years 2002-2010 during which time his girls’ tennis teams compiled a record of 126 wins and 11 losses, won 62 consecutive regular season matches (2002-2006) and appeared in eight Division I state championship finals, winning five of them. During that period a total of 45 of his players were named to the All-State team. In addition to the RIIL High School Athletic Hall of Fame, Mr. Lawrence has received several other awards and honors throughout his career. Images by Bob DiCaprio

On Wednesday, May 8th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel at the Crossings in Warwick, RI, Mr. Richard Lawrence was inducted into the RIIL’s High School Athletic Hall of Fame! Mr. Lawrence came to Mount Saint Charles in 1969. During his tenure he has served as English teacher, Director of Athletics, and has also coached boys’ soccer, boys’ and girls’ tennis, and boys’ and girls’ basketball. His soccer and tennis teams have won 44 championships to include 10 state titles. The highlight of his coach-

He was inducted into the New England Soccer Hall of Fame (2003), the Rhode Island College Hall of Fame (2004), the Rhode Island Boys’ Soccer Coaches Association Hall of Fame (2000), and the Rhode Island Boys’ Tennis Coaches Association Hall of Fame (2003). He has also been recognized for his work in the area of sportsmanship. He has been cited as “One of 20 Great Living Americans who have made a Difference in the Area of Sportsmanship” (2011) and in 2010, he was honored Continued on page 11

Continued from page 10

as a Sports Ethic Fellow. His other awards include: the National High School Coaching Awards in both soccer and tennis (1987), being named Woonsocket Call Coach of the Year on nine occasions, and in 2007 was named an “Outstanding Teacher” by the University of Chicago. For the past four decades, Mr. Lawrence has directed a summer tennis camp in his home town of Glocester, introducing and teaching the sport to countless children over

the years. As Director of Athletics at MSC, Lawrence has directed service trips for his students to promote leadership and good citizenship (2000-2013). For the past 11 years, he has led a group to the Blowing Rocks Preserve where his Mount students have worked on a Restoration Project with The Nature Conservancy to improve the habitat for the endangered giant sea turtles which nest there each year. Mr. Lawrence said, “A wise man once wrote: ’ …to find the best in others…to leave the world a bit

better…to have played and laughed with enthusiasm…to know that even one life has breathed easier: this is to have succeeded.’ These are thoughts that I have tried to live my life by. My hope is that I have indeed found the best in each and every one of the student athletes that I have coached and that I have changed at least a few young lives for the better. If this is true, then I can say that I have truly succeeded.” Congratulations, Mr. Lawrence!

100 YeARS OF HOCKeY IN RHODe ISLAND The 2012-2013 hockey season marked the 100th year that hockey has been in Rhode Island. RI high school hockey started in 1912 when Brother Adelard, a Brother of the Sacred Heart, was on the staff at Sacred Heart Academy in Central Falls. The Academy had about 50 boarding students and in order to keep them busy during the winter season, Br. Adelard organized hockey. In the fall, the hockey players would climb trees to cut branches and make them into hockey sticks. The players had skates that were attached to their shoes and fastened with a key. Not having

nets for the goals, the goals were designated by boulders. Br. Adelard came to Mount in 1924 and was here for 30 years. In 1929, the hockey team joined the RI Interscholastic Athletic Conference hockey league which marked the true beginning for Mount hockey. Br. Adelard was Mount’s first hockey coach and led the team to capture ten State and three New England Championships as well as three National Crowns. The rest is history! For more information on the early of years of Mount hockey, you can purchase Mount St. Charles Academy Hockey–How It All Started… written by Charlie Mandeville, Class of 1968. Please contact the Alumni Office for more information.

Mountie Instrumental in Boston Marathon Bombing Response Courtesy of CNN

Not only was Dr. David King, Class of 1991, a runner in the Boston Marathon, but he was a first responder as a trauma surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital

Monday – April 15, 2013. It was a date that was supposed to be remembered as the 117th Annual Boston Marathon—a 26.2 mile road race that is the world’s oldest annual marathon and is also ranked as one of the world’s most prestigious marathon events. However, at approximately 2:50 p.m., Monday – April 15, 2013 became a date known to the world for the Boston Marathon bombing attacks. It was a date that would forever impact Dr. David King’s life as a Boston Marathon runner and a trauma and acute care surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital. “I run the Boston Marathon every year,” Dr. King recalled. “I run lots and lots of marathons. But briefly, for a fleeting moment, I considered not running this year because I was really tired. I had run the Miami Marathon at the end of January and then I had raced Iron Man New Zealand which is an iron man distance triathlon. I raced that five weeks before the Boston Marathon. It’s a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride, followed by a marathon. So it was marathon, an iron man, and a marathon all within 9 weeks or so. But with Boston being so historic, despite the fact

that I was tired, there was no way I was going to miss it.” So like every other year, Dr. King went out to the start line in Hopkinton, MA and made arrangements for his wife, two daughters (ages 2 and 6), and his parents to meet him along the course right near the finish line once he completed the race. As Dr. King approached the end, he ran by his family and completed the marathon in 3 hours and 12 minutes. For the next 45-50 minutes, he went through the athlete recovery area where runners were given medals, water, bananas, etc and then finally found his family. “It’s a little eerie because to find me they walked right by bomb #1 just a few minutes before it went off,” Dr. King said. Only living about one mile away from Copley Square in the city, Dr. King and his family took a quick cab ride home. “As soon as I got home,” Dr. King said, “I got a text message that there had been an explosion so I just went straight to the hospital. I didn’t have time to eat or drink or do anything.” In addition to being a surgeon at Mass General, Dr. King is also a Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School and he is a lieutenant colonel in the army. He has been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as a combat surgeon and to Haiti as a humanitarian response to the earthquake. Because of his experience in the army, Dr. King said that he knew immediately the

explosions were planned and were not an accident. He compared the victims’ injuries to those sustained in a war zone. “On the way, I had no idea. I didn’t turn the news on or look at any news. All I heard was ‘explosion’. So I thought maybe it was a gas pipe or a car fire or car explosion. This was about three minutes after it happened. So I went to the hospital, which is only a couple of blocks away because it’s all in the city. When I walked in to the emergency room, into the trauma center, I looked around and the first wave of patients had arrived. There were five or six in the first wave. I looked at them and nobody had to tell me anything. I could tell just from the pattern of injury that it was a bomb because I’ve seen the same kind of pattern in Iraq and Afghanistan a thousand times, if not more than a thousand times. So I recognized it immediately. Everyone was chattering about ‘was it a bomb or was it an accident’ and I just looked at all of those patients and I said ‘this is no accident. That is definitely a homemade bomb.’ Within about 90 seconds of arriving in the hospital, I took the first patient into surgery.” Dr. King’s patients sustained the most severe injuries as a result of the bombings, including amputation victims. Throughout the ordeal, there were periods of time when Dr. King went for 40 hours without sleep. But when asked if he was ever overwhelmed or scared he said, “When somebody comes to you with their life leaving them, there’s no time for any of that. You just do it. These people

are dying, literally. They’re coming to you with life leaving them, so you do it because it has to be done.” What was upsetting to Dr. King, however, was that the attacks happened on American soil. “When you’re deployed you kind of expect it to happen. That’s why we’re there. The whole idea is to take the fight to them so it doesn’t come to the homeland. When I’m in Afghanistan and someone is lobbing IEDs at me or launching rockets or rocket repel grenades or recoilless rifle rounds to try to blow up my MRAP as I’m cruising down the road-that’s bad, but it’s expected. You feel like you’re doing it, you’re taking that risk, so your 2 year old and your 6 year old can grow up in a safe place. So it’s a little disconcerting when you see something like this happen in your own country, even more so in your own state and even more so yet in your own city. It’s just unfathomable that it would happen to me in my own marathon.” During a period of time after the bombings, Dr. King received a lot of national recognition for the work he was doing as a trauma and acute care surgeon in Boston and as member of the army. He gave

interviews with Diane Sawyer on ABC News, with Wolf Blitzer on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” and on Thursday, April 18th, Dr. King was chosen to escort President Obama around Massachusetts General Hospital when he visited Boston. “I greeted the president and introduced him to every single

one of our bombing patients. So I got to spend 90 minutes with him, walking around and briefing the president on everything we were doing. What was interesting was in one of our elevator rides, President Obama actually asked me where I went to high school!” he said. As Dr. King continued to reflect on his experience throughout the Boston bombings, he also shared how the time he spent at Mount has impacted his life and consequently his family’s life. His two daughters attend St. John’s School in the north end. It’s a very old Catholic school that has been around almost as long as Boston itself and has a direct link to Mount in the reason for Dr. King choosing to send his girls there. “You can get smart anywhere,” he said. “You can learn to read and write, and you can learn mathematics and science anywhere. You can even learn it at home. You can be home schooled and learn all of this stuff, not to say that the academics everywhere is equal. But the fact is that learning is, in my mind, relatively self-driven—meaning if you want to succeed you will and if you don’t want to succeed, then you won’t and nobody can help you. So the point is, you can get a good education anywhere. But that’s not why I choose to send my daughters to the school they go to. When I reflect back, that’s not the best thing I took away from Mount. Yes, the academics are excellent and I’d like to think I’m smarter because I went there, but that’s not the best thing-not by a long shot. The most important thing and the best thing that I took from Mount is the same thing I hope that my kids take from

their Catholic school in the north end and that is the values that it takes to be a good human being. Every school will teach you how to read and write but very few places will teach you how to be a good person.” When talking about a past experience he had as a third year medical student at the University of Miami, Dr. King explained how Dr. Stephen Cohn gave him the chance to assist in an emergency open heart operation when he was the least experienced person observing the surgery. It was because of this opportunity that Dr. King chose his current profession. “Whether or not it was trauma in general or whether it was him, I’d like to believe that the way we mentor our juniors, our students and subordinates, the way we mentor those people matter. That’s a lesson that I took away from that. You can make a powerful impression on someone truly with a single action. And so, alternatively, you’ve got to believe you can also ruin somebody with a single action.” On Monday–April 15, 2013, the sole action of two brothers forever changed the lives of several hundred victims and their families. However, through his selfless actions and tireless efforts, traits of a true Mountie, Dr. King gave the victims and the families of all those affected that day, hope and faith for the future. Dr. King currently lives in Cambridge, MA with his wife Anne and their two daughters, Isabella, now 3 years old and Abygail, 6 years old. ton Pops Courtesy of Bos

serViCe BeYonD Mount When Ryan Cannata, Class of 2014, was in the seventh grade, he started what has now become an annual book drive service project. He collects books every holiday

His brother Colin Cannata, Class of 2016, provided a great deal of help with the collection process this year. Colin hopes to continue the Book Drive after Ryan graduates. Some of his fellow Mounties also joined him at the Holiday Express to help him distribute the books: his cousins Emma Murray and Maikah Bulpitt, and his friends, Marc Squizzero and James Picard.

season for underprivileged children in Central Falls. He has established successful partnerships with his church, Saint John Vianney, and his elementary school, Community Elementary School, which support his collection efforts. Every year, the number of books he collects has grown significantly. It’s estimated that he collected close to 5,000 books this year. Since he started, five years in total, he has easily collected over 15,000 books.

Ryan distributed the books this year on December 22, 2012 at the Central Falls Holiday Express, a celebration open to all families in the town. Each family is served breakfast and this year each child was given 3 to 4 books.

Congratulations to Kaitlyn for earning the Girl Scout Gold Award! This honor is received by young women who make a measureable and long lasting difference and serve as an inspiration in their communities. Kaitlyn’s 80-hour project consisted of teaching sign language to the MSC Sign Language Club for two years and putting up road signs indicating that a “deaf child” lived in those areas. She saw a problem, created a solution and gained the resources and support she needed to be successful in her initiative. Kaitlyn officially received her Gold Award at the 2013 Gold Award Luncheon and Ceremony which took place on Saturday, June 1, 2013 at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in Cranston, RI.

Fourteen MSC students (some of which are now new alumni!) and 4 Mount faculty members spent their April vacation in Klagetoh, Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. Using the Saint Anne’s Mission, operated by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart, as their base, the students and chaperones participated in different service activities for the people of the reservation. Their ultimate purpose was to work together and aid in meeting the dire needs of the reservation residents who may be experiencing poverty or unemployment, or may be suffering the effects of alcohol and child abuse. Activities that these volunteers participated in included: repairing of fences, repairing horse and sheep corrals, painting, sorting corn in preparation for spring planting, cleaning homes, and ministering to the children on the reservation. Going to the reservation is a wonderful opportunity of service for our students and it really exemplifies what the Mountie spirit is all about.

For the 11th consecutive year, Richard Lawrence, Mount’s Athletic Director and English teacher, led a group of Mount seniors (now MSC’s most recent alumni class!) to Jupiter Island in Florida to work alongside The Nature Conservancy. This restoration project involves working with the habitat of the endangered giant sea turtles that nest there every spring. The students who participate give up their February vacation and spend their time at the Blowing Rocks Preserve planting, mulching, removing exotic plants, and building irrigation systems as part of this project.
