2012-2013 Annual Report
St. Anselm’s Abbey School
. Mission Statement St. Anselm’s Abbey School seeks to promote the spiritual, personal, and intellectual development of young men with demonstrated academic achievement. Our school, serving grades six through twelve, with its roots in the values of the Christian Gospels and Catholic tradition, strives to create a community built on respect for truth, love of learning, regard for human dignity, and tolerance. We pursue this goal by leading our students through a challenging and balanced program of study in the arts, sciences, and theology that gives them a solid preparation for the demands of college. By living and promoting the Benedictine spirit, we strive within our school to create an atmosphere of peace, a sense of service to community, and a willingness within our students to work toward a balance in mind, body, and spirit.

President’s Message Because of the Resurrection, nothing remains as it was before, not only in our own lives but also in the history of mankind. Jesus is not dead, He has risen, He is alive! He does not simply return to life; rather, He is life itself, because He is the Son of God, the living God. Jesus no longer belongs to the past, but lives in the present and is projected towards the future; He is the everlasting “today” of God. Pope Francis Dear Alumni, Parents, Students, Benefactors, and Friends of St. Anselm’s Abbey and School:
F
or Pope Francis, Christ is the future through Whom all reality is opened. And this future keeps the present from becoming enclosed by itself, from becoming “finitized.” At St. Anselm’s Abbey School, we know that education is the means by which the next generation can begin to find and understand the reality of God as every person seeks and gropes after truth. As Pope Benedict XVI said, “The purpose of Christ’s existence is precisely to give humanity God’s life and His Spirit so that every person might be able to draw from this inexhaustible source of truth.”
On June 1st, another academic year ended with the traditional Vespers of Graduation, and on June 30th, the Abbey School ended its fiscal year, at which time I prepared this opening letter for our Annual Report. Remember, the monks do not end their liturgical year until December 1st, the First Sunday of Advent, when we all begin again. As the monks pass through summer, we will celebrate the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul on June 29th; the Solemnity of Saint Benedict on July 11th; and then, on August 6th, the Feast of the Transfiguration, when we reflect with Peter, John, and James upon what Jesus revealed to his disciples on Mount Tabor as they received all the wealth of His eternal blessings. In celebrating these feasts, the monks pray for our extended Benedictine family. One prayer to our patron saint reads: “O glorious Saint Benedict, sublime model of all virtues, vessel of God’s grace! Behold us beginners, in humility praying at your feet. We implore your loving heart to pray for us before the throne of God. To you we have recourse in all the dangers which daily surround us. Shield us against all strife; inspire us to imitate you in all things. May your blessings be with us always, so that we may run in the way of the Lord and shun whatever God forbids and avoid the occasions of pride. We therefore invoke your powerful intercession, in confident hope that you will hear our prayers and obtain for us the special grace and favors we so earnestly implore as we begin over again each day in this school of the Lord’s service. Amen.” I am confident that our Benedictine monastery and school continue to exemplify Pope Benedict XVI’s statement that monasticism has long been “the indispensable forerunner and bearer not only of cultural continuity but above all of fundamental and religious and moral values.” The very existence of monasticism is presumed to make the world different. In this sense, the mystery of the Church is realized in the history of the world. And as I have said before, by inspiring
young minds, we educate our students to become moral persons, intellectually and spiritually prepared for life in the 21st century. In my review of the 2012-2013 academic and fiscal years, I hope that all readers will be able to share in the strengths and great accomplishments of St. Anselm’s Abbey School as we begin our 72nd year of existence. The most important news of this past year must be Mr. William Crittenberger’s successful completion of his first year as Headmaster. Bill took office on July 1st, 2012, as the 10th Headmaster of St. Anselm’s. He has led the School with warmth, enthusiasm, and vision. We are blessed to have him on board. On August 23rd, we began the school year with 220 young scholars. These gifted and academically motivated young men eagerly broke the summer silence of our hallowed halls. We are grateful that with all their possible school choices, once again, St. Anselm’s Abbey School is their preferred destination. After nine months of rigorous but extraordinary experiences, the school year ended on June 1st with the graduation of our 68th class. Forty-three young men received diplomas—the largest class in School history. As you will see later in our Annual Report, this year’s college placements were again outstanding. Our 43 seniors had 212 acceptances into 130 different colleges and universities and were offered over $7,300,000 in scholarship aid (and still counting). I am pleased to report that our mission of academic excellence remains preeminent. The Washington Post listed us as the #1 school in the Metropolitan area, and this year, we are 27th in the nation (up from 37th in last year’s ranking), based upon our Advanced Placement courses. The Alumni Office, under the direction of Mr. Lawrence Hamm, ’68, had a full schedule of well-attended events. Ten distinguished alumni shared their knowledge and expertise with our Forms V and VI students at the annual Career Day on September 17th. A very competitive Damian Crane, ’55, Memorial Pool Tournament was held on October 24th, followed on November 24th by the annual Thanksgiving AlumniVarsity Basketball Game and Memorial Mass. The Alumni Association hosted its Fifth Annual AllAlumni Reunion on the weekend of April 26th. The Peter Samp,’08, Memorial 5K Race was held on 2012-2013 Annual Report

Saturday morning. Participating students, alumni, parents, friends, and monks had a magnificent morning for the run, and afterward enjoyed a picnic lunch. That evening, 160 people attended a banquet at which Mr. John Corrigan, ’83, received the Abbot Alban Boultwood, OSB, Award for his decades of tireless service to the Alumni Association and the School. Silver Medals were given to alumni who graduated 25 years ago, and Gold Medals were bestowed upon those celebrating their 50th anniversary. Needless to say, I want to thank Mr. Awenate Cobbina, ’98, President of the Alumni Association, and all the members of the Alumni Board for the love they show their alma mater and for their work on its behalf. On June 3rd, the 20th Annual St. Anselm’s Abbey School Golf Outing was held at the Glenn Dale Country Club under cool and cloudy skies. Sixty golfers were treated to a sudden shower about halfway through the afternoon, but neither play nor spirits were dampened. After the BBQ dinner, the Alumni Association presented a $25,000 check to the School for the Current Scholarship Fund. Over $10,000 came directly from the golf outing, and the rest of this money was raised through the Alumni Phonathon. Thank you, Mr. Patrick Atrridge, ’74, for your 19 consecutive years of chairing this event. This year’s final alumni event took place on June 22nd and 23rd when the Class of 1958 held its 45th Anniversary Reunion on campus. The class celebration, organized by David Harnett, started Saturday afternoon with a gathering in the school library, followed by a visit to the cemetery to remember deceased monk teachers. After praying Vespers in the Abbey Chapel, everyone adjourned to the School Commons for a festive dinner. On Sunday, Fr. Michael Hall, ’56, celebrated Mass for the Class of 1958. To cap it all off, Belle and Morgan O’Brien, ’62, offered the use of their yacht Summer Love for a luncheon cruise at the Washington Harbor. Our 32nd Fall Scholarship Gala took place on the evening of October 20th. I want to thank once again all the parents who worked so hard to make the Gala a success, especially Ms. Mary Jo Robinson and Mrs. Chris Butler. And I want to thank all those who participated in raising over $206,700 for current scholarship aid. That evening, our guest of honor was our new Headmaster Mr. William Crittenberger. May I encourage you to mark your calendars now for our next Gala, Boots and Bling: A Cowboy Ball, to be held on Saturday, October 26th, 2013. Our honorees this coming fall will be Mr. James Connell, and Mr. Thomas Borger and his wife Gerry. Both Mr. Connell and Mr. Borger have served as Chairman of the School’s boards. The School hosted two events for Form VII Forever, our Past Parent social organization. The first gathering took place at the Christmas Concert on December

8th. The second event was a Lenten Mass and brunch on February 17th. Fr. Michael Hall, the School chaplain, celebrated the Mass and preached. Afterward, everyone enjoyed a magnificent brunch in the Commons. As President of the School, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Stephen Kinnaird, ’80, and all the members of the Board of Trustees for their dedicated service to St. Anselm’s Abbey School. Mr. Morgan O’Brien, ’62, and Mr. Terry Jacobs, whose terms expired in June, deserve special thanks for their labor of love. Likewise, I want to thank Mrs. Carol Ramirez, the President of the Parents Association, and all the parents who served so generously over this past year on so many vital, time-consuming projects and events. We are truly blessed to have such dedicated and enthusiastic parents. On the monastic side of things, I am happy to report that we have three new novices who began their monastic life this past October. Please pray for them and for more vocations to our abbey. Many donors were present on April 21st as Abbot James blessed the monastery’s renovation of the old north wing—where the Priory School began classes 71 years ago—into infirmary rooms for our aging monks. This past December, the School received a $1 million gift from the Brian Devine Family Trust through the generosity of Brian Devine, ’59, and his wife, Silvija. This money has been placed in the Endowed Scholarship Fund and is permanently restricted for needbased scholarship awards. The first Devine Family Trust recipient is Carlos Alvarado-Flores, a rising Form II student. We are extremely grateful to the Devine Family for their gift. During the 2013-2014 academic year, the School would like to match this gift—more details will follow. Meanwhile, please pray that the School may always operate “in the black.” I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our benefactors, donors, alumni, parents, and friends, all of whom have contributed so generously this year to St. Anselm’s Abbey School. As of June 30th, the School raised $1,881,029. A full listing of donors can be found later in this Annual Report. Without your prayers and benefactions, this Benedictine miracle in the Nation’s Capital at 4501 South Dakota Avenue could not survive. Know that the monks continue to pray for you and your families. I would like to close with a prayer by Saint Anselm: “God of love, whose compassion never fails; we bring before You the troubles and perils of peoples and nations, the sighing of prisoners and captives, the sorrows of the bereaved, the necessities of strangers, the helplessness of the weak and sick, the despondency of the weary, the stumbling of youth, the failing powers of the aged. O Lord, draw near to each; for the sake of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.” Pax in Sapientia.
Fr. Peter Weigand, OSB President St. Anselm’s Abbey School
Headmaster’s Letter Dear Members of the St. Anselm’s Community:
A
ll of us at 4501 South Dakota Avenue were inspired by the spirited seniors in the Class of 2013. We wish each of our 43 newest alumni Godspeed in beginning life’s next chapter. These recent graduates benefited in countless ways from the St. Anselm’s experience. But their experience wouldn’t have been nearly as rich or fulfilling if not for the generosity of the community’s gracious benefactors. Every gift that we receive is valued and put to good use, and any level of contribution is deeply appreciated. My heartfelt thanks go to all of you for having made St. Anselm’s a top philanthropic priority. Anyone visiting St. Anselm’s this past year couldn’t help but to notice how happy, engaged, and purposeful the students were. No wonder we saw an unprecedented jump in our enrollment numbers: up more than 10 percent from a year ago, from 220 to 248 students. Many thanks to our students (our very best ambassadors), our friendly admissions officers, our dedicated faculty and staff, and the many enthusiastic community volunteers who welcome, engage, guide, and mentor applicant families. Enrolling more students creates a very real demand for additional monies from the financial aid pipeline, to ensure that qualified applicants will benefit from the excellence of the St. Anselm’s experience. Therefore, in a year’s time, our financial aid budget grew from $930,000 during the 2012-13 school year to $1,050,000. This accounts for 19 percent of the School’s $5.5 million in overall expenses—a much higher percentage than our peer schools devote to financial aid. As fully 43 percent of our families in the coming year will receive some level of financial support (the average grant is $10,000), we continue to rely on the grace and generosity of our beloved donor base. Our donors ensure that St. Anselm’s will remain a haven for any student who loves learning and has demonstrated significant academic ability. Our School’s very real socioeconomic diversity reflects not only the School’s mission, but also the magnanimity of those who keep honoring, valuing, and supporting the transformative education that an Abbey Boy receives. By far our most significant project of the year was the $1 million creation of a senior wing in the monastery for taking care of our older monks. The project was a resounding success! Thank you to Abbot James for having found so many “delighted-to-have-been-asked” benefactors. Another successful but less capital-intensive project was the renovation of the tennis courts (at a cost of $50,000), which was completed in late spring. The courts will be dedicated at the Fall Family Picnic in early September. We also undertook a renovation of the chemistry lab (at a cost of $200,000), which will be completed prior to the start of the school year. My fundraising experience from a previous school has given me a sharp sense of the numbers and percentages that reveal how a school community supports its philanthropic arm. It gives me particular pleasure to see how extraordinarily high the percentage of alumni giving is at St. Anselm’s—high no matter the metric used to compare or the institutional norm being measured. Our alumni giving, which approaches 40 percent every year, is exceptional, and I want to especially thank the hundreds and hundreds of graduates who, year after year, help to make an Abbey education a reality for so many young men. I have just completed a successful, enjoyable, and fun first year, and I anticipate nothing but the same—and more— this year and in the future. Thank you for your continuing thoughts, prayers, well-wishes, and, of course, support. St. Anselm’s truly is a remarkable place. Pax in Sapientia.

Chairman’s Report Dear Friends of St. Anselm’s Abbey School:
T
he 2012-2013 academic year was a wonderful one in all respects. The School is blessed to have a strong leadership team in Fr. Peter Weigand, OSB, as our President and Mr. William Crittenberger as our new Headmaster. Bill has achieved success right out of the gate. Most notably, Bill and his team have raised enrollment from 220 to 248 students in a single year: a remarkable accomplishment, given the record size of the 2013 graduating class. Just as importantly, the School has worked with a consultant to formulate a dynamic marketing and communications strategy that will enable us to build on our success. The School continues to receive local and national recognition for its academic prowess, a fact which reflects the quality of our administration and faculty. But historically, the number of applicants for admission to St. Anselm’s has not been commensurate with the School’s academic standing, and our new strategy should help us to expand both the size and quality of our applicant pool. The Board has envisioned a goal in its five-year Strategic Plan of raising enrollment to 260 students—and hopes to ultimately achieve the School’s full capacity of 280 students. In recent years, the Board has adopted a Strategic Plan, reformed the School’s governance structure, and devoted its efforts to assembling a strong leadership team. This year, the Board has focused on its own reorganization, to strengthen its support of the School by expanding and reinvigorating the Board’s committee structure. The Board conducts six plenary meetings a year, but advancing the School’s objectives requires the more focused and ongoing effort of committees. In addition to its longstanding Finance and Trustee Committees, the Board has now formed Development, Enrollment, Headmaster Support, Audit, and Configuration Committees (the last of which is focused on the long-term configuration of the School). The Development Committee, under the guidance of Abbot James and Fr. Peter, is addressing the long-term financial needs of both the Abbey and the School, and is initiating new efforts to raise money from both within and outside our traditional giving community. I am grateful to the Committee members (both Trustees and non-Trustees) for the substantial time commitments that their service entails. On behalf of the Board, I especially wish to express appreciation for our two departing Board members, Mr. Terry Jacobs and Mr. Morgan O’Brien, heads of our Finance and Trustee Committees, respectively. We will miss their wisdom. As an alumnus, I am deeply aware that a St. Anselm’s education is a lifelong gift. St. Anselm’s also invites its alumni and parents to be part of a lifelong community, and it has been a great pleasure to renew my ties in adult life with the School that was so essential to my spiritual, moral, and intellectual development. The alumni and parents of St. Anselm’s overcome their relatively small numbers by the strength of their commitment. We need to continue to make the gift of a St. Anselm’s education available to the coming generations, no matter what their background. I urge all alumni, past and present parents, and friends of the School to renew their ties and commitments to the School that has given us so much. Sincerely,
Stephen B. Kinnaird, ’80 Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Vespers of Graduation Commencement Address
Ambassador Michele thoren Bond
T
hank you. Fr. Abbot, Fr. Peter, monks, Mr. Kinnaird, Mr. Crittenberger, board members, faculty, parents, guests, and members of the Class of 2013: I am very proud to be the first Abbey mother invited to speak at the St. Anselm’s Commencement. It has been stimulating, fun, and in every sense a privilege to be a member of this community for almost 20 years. My husband Cliff and I owe an abiding debt to the school for the love and guidance you gave our sons while they were students here, and for the support we have received in the years since they graduated. Thank you. Class of 2013, we are all celebrating your success today. Your parents and family, the faculty and leadership of the school—each one of us is so proud of you, and with good reason. You have met and overcome real challenges here, whether they were social, academic, artistic, spiritual, or athletic. St. Anselm’s is the best school in the country, with a tough curriculum designed to ensure that you explore and develop all of your talents. I remember a parents’ event years ago, when our older son was a student here. A father voiced some deep concerns about his son, who was smart and capable but underachieving. The father said: “I can’t get him to understand the importance of making the additional effort that would turn a ‘B’ into the ‘A’ he is capable of. I guess it’s true that you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” All of the parents were frozen in silence. He had described a concern we all shared to varying degrees. Fr. Peter responded, in his usual calm and mild way: “It is true, we cannot make them drink.” Our shoulders sagged. “But,” he went on, “we can ride them hard and salt their oats!” St. Anselm’s challenged you to do your best when you were just kids, and then when you became young men. As boys, you rose to meet many challenges, including the disappointment of some inevitable failures. The same inner strength that nourished you then remains with you now as adults, strengthened by the loving support from this community. The men you will be in 30 years are sitting right in front of us today. I mean men of character who see things that need to be done, envision how they could be done better, step up, and pitch in. You have been doing this all of your lives: on sports teams, at church, at school, in the Scouts, and at home. You will have a wider field as you leave high school behind, but the essential elements of your characters were fixed during your years here. It is a blessing to be a member of this community. St. Anselm’s

St. Anselm’s Abbey School
has supported and guided you through childhood and will always be a resource for you. Thinking about the St. Anselm’s community, I am reminded of an experience I had about 30 years ago, at the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade, in what was then Yugoslavia. Cliff and I had been in Belgrade for three years. I was the General Services Officer, responsible for maintaining the Embassy and all the housing, ordering supplies, grounds-keeping, organizing the motor pool, and getting everyone’s personal effects through Customs. In other words, I was supposed to keep the Embassy running smoothly, so that my colleagues could do the jobs they’d been sent out there to do. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was one of the best jobs I ever had. When I saw something that needed to be fixed, or had an idea of how to make our community more comfortable, I was in a position to help. I felt like the Embassy belonged to me. Dozens of people worked for my office. Most did not speak English and had only a very basic education. They were cleaning ladies, drivers, electricians, and plumbers. At the end of our tour, my office had a farewell party and all the staff came. One of our older employees, a carpenter, approached me from the crowd. He reached out, taking my hands together between his own rough, calloused ones. He leaned in, made eye contact to be sure he had my attention, and said: “You are a good
person. You always say hello.” His words astonished me, and they stayed with me. We all want to be good people. We want others to think we are good people. But are you a good person simply because you say hello? It seems it would be hard to set the bar much lower than that. After the carpenter’s comment, I started to become more attentive to greeting and acknowledging the people around me. The carpenter taught me that there are always people in our midst so accustomed to being overlooked that they notice when someone says hello. You want to be the man who always says hello. I also started to notice whether the people around me greeted each other and whether some people were consistently left out. Everyone is occasionally part of the background, taken for granted, or overlooked—and that’s normal. But paying attention to a simple thing like “hello” helped me to spot people who were being passed over, who were denied opportunities, who were treated as though their talents and their ambitions were unimportant. I was able to act on this awareness even as a young and inexperienced Foreign Service Officer. I could recommend someone for additional training; I could tell a supervisor that someone had done a great job; I could congratulate someone directly for doing good work. And then, as I moved up in rank, I could make more and more of a difference. Class of 2013, you will be among the leaders in every community you join. You will be in a position to
ensure that opportunities are shared and that initiative is recognized and rewarded. You can be the guy who quietly finds a way to include people on the margins. You will get to know some incredible people through the years just by saying hello. You will have an impact on lives far beyond your immediate circle. The Abbey community is a living example of the lesson I learned from the Embassy carpenter. The Benedictine monks live a life of commitment and dedication, and this is the foundation of all the good work done at the school. The monks—along with the rest of your teachers, mentors, and coaches—took care to give you a wealth of opportunities. They encouraged and rewarded your initiative. They greeted you each morning, recognized your talents and ambitions as important, and demanded that you develop them fully. The sort of leadership that I am talking about does not come naturally to most of us— but if you are looking for role models to emulate, you can find them all around you here at St. Anselm’s. Today would be a good day, not only to thank your teachers and parents for the education you have received, but also to tell one of your teachers: “I’ll never forget the time…” he or she helped you in some memorable way. I had no idea that my friendly greeting had any special significance to the hardworking carpenter. He never knew what an influence his words had on me. You will never know the full impact of your kindness on others. But I guarantee that it will make a difference in your lives and in the world if you make it a habit to see, acknowledge, and connect with the people who surround you every day. Be the guy who always says hello.

bbot James, Fr. Peter, Mr. Crittenberger, our Benedictine brothers, Mr. Kinnaird, faculty, staff, family, friends, and, most of all, the Class of 2013: Thank you so much for the chance to address you today. To be honest, when I found out I had to speak at graduation, I was pretty terrified. But then I thought: how hard can it be to talk about this place which has meant so much to all of us? I don’t want to get too sappy and nostalgic because, frankly, sentimentality gets boring fast. But I really do believe that St. Anselm’s is a place like no other. I focus my address today on my classmates because they are the ones who made these last seven years so memorable. This address could be a collection of fond memories from the Abbey—and it would be hard to pick just a few. But I’d rather dwell instead on what we learned. I don’t mean the trigonometric functions I still haven’t memorized for Calculus or the Latin vocabulary that Ms. Pelosi drilled into us so fiercely. We learned these things, and many more, to be sure; but ultimately we learned more about each other.

From climbing trees at the Form II retreat to whatever exactly it was that happened at Kairos, we learned more about our classmates than we ever thought we would— and hopefully a little something about ourselves. Mr. Crittenberger was right, in his typically enthusiastic way, when he called our class something special. It really is possible to have the biggest graduating class ever and still have one of the most tightly knit groups in the school. I’m constantly amazed by how everyone gets along, even if we don’t always run around in the same circles. No matter who shares your free period, you can always find something to talk about instead of doing your work. This closeness exists between students and faculty, too. Nowhere else could we have developed such strong relationships with our teachers. Because of St. Anselm’s, we learned about all of Mr. Corrigan’s neardeath experiences, persuaded Dr. Chernovitz to bake us brownies just because we asked, discussed every television show under the sun with Mr. Achilles and Mr. Morse, and received casual death threats from Fr. Castro. We also learned that House competition can turn best friends into brutal enemies for a day, and some of us saw seven years of hard labor come to fruition when Alban finally clinched the cup this year. Beyond that, we learned that there was a lot more to the Abbey than just a world-class education and a great family of people. We talk a lot at Open Houses about how this place provides opportunities for extracurricular activities that you wouldn’t find at another school. It’s the story that we sell to prospective students, and it’s really true. I was able to choose from countless activities and devote lots of time to a few that really meant a lot to me. Whether I was ironing dress shirts at three o’clock in the morning with the Harvard Model UN team, or finding out that Matt Jones was the funniest guy on the tennis team, or defusing Ms. Diggle’s angry rants with group hugs from the Priory Players, I got to see many sides of St. Anselm’s. It has been a rich and varied experience.
helping of trademark sass. I’m counting on Ronnie to finally show up with dreadlocks. I know that, wherever we are, Vince will be wearing his Lithuanian flag pin and John will show up in a tank top and try to start a game of pickup basketball. Jack and AT will perform a heartwarming ukulele tribute to Gucci, and half the class will listen while the other half stops at nothing to find a Nintendo GameCube. We will all be a little teary-eyed as we send Matthias off to Basic Training, for which he volunteered again because—well, just because he felt like it. Unfortunately, Conor won’t be able to come because he’ll be playing a gig for the president, who, of course, will by then be Garth Herbert. Mr. Crittenberger, who will have legally changed his name to Big Crit by this point, will show up and proclaim it the Best 25th Reunion that he’s ever experienced. And he’ll be right. Mad Men is one of my favorite television shows. In the show, there is a character named Don Draper. Don once said: “It’s your life. You don’t know how long it’s gonna last, but you know it doesn’t end well. You’ve gotta move forward... as soon as you can figure out what that means.” To be honest, none of us knows what we’re doing. We may have some plans, but really, we’re just starting to find out what our life will be. As Abbey Boys, however, we’ve got a pretty good starting point. Now, like Don said, we just have to keep moving forward. I can’t wait to figure out what that means. Thank you to everybody for this wonderful opportunity and thanks to the Class of 2013 for making it all possible.
Of course, we learned many other things at the Abbey— more than I could ever hope to describe in a few minutes. We learned that, yes, Tom Schmitt’s stories do eventually come to an end. We learned that not even Joe Pesci can top Ms. Pelosi in the “hurling insults” category. We learned, thanks to Josh Peri, that it is in fact humanly possible to have trapezius muscles bigger than the rest of your body. We learned exactly what it means to be an athlete, thanks to Nico Bell’s frequent reminders. And we learned that we all have one life goal in common: to one day hang out on Mr. Corrigan’s boat. We all have bright futures ahead of us. Inevitably, we will drift apart a bit, but that doesn’t make our experience here any less meaningful. I have no clue where I’ll be in two years, much less a couple decades. But I really look forward to our 25th reunion. We’ll all pull up in flying hydrogen-powered cars that Tom invented. I know that Cameron, Nico, and Francis will still be hotly debating plot holes in The Dark Knight, and I can’t wait to laugh as Yaki puts the waiter in his place with a heavy

bbot James, Fr. Peter, Mr. Crittenberger, members of the monastic community, Mr. Kinnaird, Madam Ambassador, faculty, family, friends, and, most importantly, the 68th graduating class of St. Anselm’s Abbey School: I thank you for the opportunity to speak this afternoon as we celebrate the Office of Vespers. This majestic celebration, which appeared in the sixth century or even earlier, is one of the oldest and most important prayer services in the Catholic tradition. Each day at Vespers, a hymn is sung to celebrate a day of creation. Saturday’s hymn reflects the Holy Trinity: the Father Who teaches and loves us, the Son Whose burden we carry to serve the Father, and the Holy Spirit Who imparts to us the grace to guide our educational journey. Vespers is celebrated at nightfall and allows us to reflect on the day. Today, we reflect not only on the end of the day, but also on the end of our academic and intellectual journey. That seven-year journey has led to great growth in the young men on this stage. We are no longer tiny A Formers running about the wallball court, throwing tennis balls, fruit, soda cans, and other projectiles. Instead, we are adult Abbey Boys who have accomplished a lot during our time here. Thomas Schmitt has nurtured a love for science and technology, scoring competitive internships and designing ingenious projects. Rob Hankins and Geri Dunellari have become passionate about wrestling and worked their way to the high school national championships. T.J. Coffin and Chang-Wu Mungai have drawn and drawn and drawn, making wonderfully creative works of art. Vince Marcantonio is the author of a celebrated essay exploring the role of social media in the global peace movement. Michael Zhu has won awards for his mathematical prowess. The list goes on and on. What makes this class exceptional is our ability to both show interest and shine in various disciplines. I believe that the only prerequisite for an Abbey Boy is a love of learning. Intellectual curiosity gives rise to an eclectic collection of interests, and the young men of the Class of 2013 have proven this to be true. Jamie Anderson enjoys exploring the processes of the mind through the lenses of neuroscience and philosophy. Jack Anninos values the tangibility of the sciences but is also moved by the beauty of music. Ronnie Bokow mines the depths of both linguistics and Catholicism. Diego Torres could talk to you for hours about aircraft, World War II, and aircraft in World War II. Whether it’s Conor Hearn who loves the arts, or Joey Nahra who loves the social sciences, every member of this class has developed a diverse set of passions to express his intellectual capabilities. Maurin Mwombela knows all about biomedicine, acted in the theater, played basketball, broke records in track, became a National Merit Scholarship Finalist, and is matriculating into an Ivy League university this fall. Where else could you find such a diverse record of accomplishments? To our parents, we thank you for all that you have provided. You have sacrificed so much to make this day possible for us. You have been our biggest fans, our most loving supporters, and our greatest teachers. I thank my parents and my sisters for believing in me and supporting me through my St. Anselm’s journey. I know the parents and siblings of this class have been instrumental in our success. From the food to the car rides to putting us on this earth and in this school—I thank you for all you have given us.
To the faculty, we thank you for guiding us on this intellectual odyssey by your teaching. You have watched us grow so much over these seven years. We have moved from touring the world with Mr. Harwood in geography and running around maniacally in P.E. with Mr. Taylor to navigating the college admissions process and dropping eggs from the clock tower with them. You are all such learned scholars with so much knowledge. You have humbly shared your wisdom with us, teaching us to create a better world and give back what we have so generously received. You have coached us to championships, encouraged our passions, and become our mentors. You have gone above and beyond your call as educators by showing us counsel, support, kindness, and love, and I believe that this makes you not only our teachers, but also our friends. To the monks of St. Anselm’s Abbey, we are forever grateful for your presence. Your example of how to be a man has been paramount to our growth. My fondest memory of Fr. Peter was when this priest, an older gentleman with a full staff of people employed to clean up his school, knelt to pick up a piece of trash left by a student. I understood then the grace possessed by the members of the monastic community—a grace that allowed them to perform such selfless acts. We thank you so much for your maintenance of this “school for the Lord’s service” by instructing us in humility and obedience and taking care of our bodies, minds, and souls. Finally, there is the Class of 2013. I am humbled to share this joyous occasion with 42 of my peers, fellow scholars, and brothers. We have broadened our intellectual curiosity in the classroom, made fond memories at social gatherings, and bonded spiritually at the Kairos retreat. When the school was in disarray during our junior year, we stepped up, rejuvenated student government, and saved the school. Now, after securing our legacy here, the challenge is finding our place in the world outside of St. Anselm’s. For that task, I turn to the Rule of St. Benedict. We ought to take up the task of being an abbot in our world. Acting like Christ, we must take charge, follow the virtues, and “point out… all that is good and holy more by example than by words,” as St. Benedict instructs. We should also live like monks in the human community, of whom Benedict says, “To their fellow monks they show the pure love of brothers.” When we take this message into our lives, we will begin to accomplish the mission St. Anselm’s has sent us out into the world to fulfill. Thank you, I love you, and Abbey Love.

Form II Transition Alumni Speaker Michael Manglitz, ’00 seized the tail and declared: “An elephant is a fringed rope!” A boy took hold of the trunk and announced: “An elephant is a water pipe.” Soon, other villagers were stroking its sides, which had ridges like a dry, plowed field. Others determined that its head was an overturned washtub attached to the water pipe. At first, each villager argued with all the others about what an elephant was, while the traveler watched in silence. Two elders were about to come to blows over the fact that a fan could not possibly be a pillar. Meanwhile, the elephant patiently munched on fruit, as the cries of curiosity and angry debate mixed in the afternoon sun. Eventually, someone suggested that they could make a list of all the parts: the elephant had four pillars, one tub, two fans, a water pipe, and two staffs, and it was covered in tough, hairy leather or dried mud. Four young mothers, sitting on a bench and comparing impressions, realized that the elephant was in fact an enormous, gentle, ox-like animal with a stretched nose. The traveler agreed.
M
y dear members of the Second Form, on this day of your transition from the Middle School to the Upper School: I’d like to tell you a story. It’s a Buddhist story more than two thousand years old. Maybe some of you already know it; it’s one of my favorites. It’s called “The Elephant in the Village of the Blind.” There was once a village high in the mountains where all the inhabitants were born blind. One day, a traveler arrived from far away with many fine things to sell. The villagers asked: “How did you travel so far and so high while carrying so much?” The traveler said: “On my elephant.” “What is an elephant?” the villagers asked, having never heard of such an animal. “See for yourself,” the traveler replied. The elders of the village were afraid of the strangesmelling creature which took up so much space in the middle of the village square. They could hear it breathing and munching on hay; they could feel its slow, swaying movements disturbing the air around them. First, an elder reached out and felt its flapping ear. “An elephant is soft but rough and flexible, like a leather fan,” he said. Another grasped its back leg. “An elephant is a rough, hairy pillar.” Still another took hold of a tusk and gasped: “An elephant is a cool, smooth spear.” An old woman

St. Anselm’s Abbey School
This story teaches many lessons. It’s easy to think that the villagers’ actions and conclusions are funny and inaccurate, even though they compile a list of true characteristics in the end. Every villager feels a different part of the elephant and draws a logical but imprecise conclusion, based on personal experience. When everyone argues for the correctness of his or her interpretation, we start to see how much ego and selfworth drive human interactions. Inside every one of us is a powerful desire to be right—perhaps especially inside an Abbey Boy like myself. And sometimes this desire to be right can blind us to the full truth of things. It is a blindness worse than the physical kind. I’ve drawn other lessons from this story. Sometimes, I see it as a criticism of people who are too proud of what they think they know. Other times, I see the story in a more positive light, as an illustration of how, even though any single person’s perspective is insufficient, it is still very valuable—and it becomes even more valuable when compared to and combined with other people’s perspectives, especially when this is done in a spirit of cooperation, community, and teamwork. But today, I’m thinking of the story in yet another away. I invite you to reflect back on all the time you’ve spent at St. Anselm’s so far, especially now that your Middle School years are over. I also invite you to reflect on what this transition from Middle School to Upper
School means to you at this moment. I emphasize “this moment” because I know that at some point in the future, you’ll look back at this moment, and at your time in Middle School generally, and see a different part of the elephant. It’s no different than if you looked back right now on your kindergarten self and saw someone different than the person you are today—maybe even someone different than the boy your younger self saw back then. We’re just like the villagers, who each “saw” a different partial truth about the elephant. Perhaps you look back and feel pride or satisfaction. Maybe you survived a daunting challenge like Dr. Wood’s physical science class. Maybe you experienced an individual award or victory, or contributed to a team victory like the nail-biting win against McLean for the PVAC basketball championship. Maybe you have achieved small, invisible goals, like becoming more comfortable in social situations. There are many ways you may have taken to heart the Abbey’s goal of spiritual, personal, and intellectual development. And you can view this Transition Ceremony as a continuation or a progression, filled with new challenges and opportunities, and bringing more of the growth and blessings you have already experienced. But there are other ways of looking at this ceremony. We should learn from failure in the same way that we learn from success, and it would be foolish to ignore or forget the struggles, the disappointments, and the embarrassments that are inevitably part of any Middle School experience. Saint Benedict tells us, and Fr. Peter reminds us, that “always we begin again.” So perhaps you would like to see this ceremony as a chance to start over; a chance to leave Middle School behind you as you enter the Upper School; a chance to change in some way; a chance to address a personal weakness; a chance to make a resolution, or to recommit yourself to something, whether it be academics or art or personal growth. Maybe you want to change the way you respond to adversity and hardship. Maybe you simply want to follow more earnestly the great Commandment to love your neighbor as yourself.
Form II Student Speaker Jack Kalhorn
G
ood afternoon to you, Mr. Crittenberger, Fr. Peter, Mr. Mehigan, faculty, parents, and classmates. I am honored to speak on behalf of the Form II Class of 2013. I came to St. Anselm’s as a Form I student and, although I arrived a year after most of my classmates, I was openly welcomed into the community. I was a bit nervous coming into a school where I knew no one and where most of the students had already made friends. When the school year began, however, I was never excluded from an activity and I quickly made friends Now, two years later, this community has become my family and St. Anselm’s has truly become my home away from home.
There’s a reason why we say “form” rather than “grade” at St. Anselm’s. It is because we like to think that each year, you take a new form on your journey through adolescence: from immaturity to maturity, from childhood to adulthood. As you move through the forms, you perceive new parts of the elephant, and your perspective grows and broadens along with your mind, body, and spirit. At the end of the summer, you probably won’t have become someone radically different than the person you are today. But you will return as part of the Upper School, not part of the Middle School. You will have entered a different form and you will be expected to act with more maturity. At least, we hope that you will be a little less likely to leave the new librarian any cleverly placed presents of pine cones, after the fashion Br. Marvin came to know all too well. I’d like to leave you with one last thought—you could call it a confession. My time at St. Anselm’s began only after I transferred here at the beginning of Third Form. So I can’t pretend to really know what being a Middle Schooler at St. Anselm’s is like. But seventeen years ago, a group of St. Anselm’s students took part in their own Transition Ceremony, just like the one you are taking part in now. At the end of that summer, they became my classmates. Little did I know that so many of them— who, at the time, were simply welcoming me as one of the “new kids”—would become lifelong friends. Of my 31 classmates, I still count more than half as close friends. Some of them I see every week. Today, and in fact every day you spend at St. Anselm’s, should be a celebration of the friendships you have already formed. I understand that the next school year will bring many new students to your form. I encourage you to welcome them with a warm Benedictine spirit of generosity, peace, and understanding—not just because it’s what any good Abbey Boy would do, but because it’s quite possible that you will form friendships with some of your new classmates that last for many, many years, continuing long after you have finished the exciting high school years that now await you.
One of the things that attracted me to the school was the diversity: diverse academic classes, diverse athletic opportunities, and especially a diverse student body. At St. Anselm’s you can be an individual. You can wear crazy clothes, eat questionable lunches, and express yourself through art, music, and drama. As a community, we can embrace each other’s differences. This is one of the many reasons our school is so beloved and special. St. Anselm’s is also special because it is a place dedicated to developing the gifts of the mind, the body, and the spirit. You can see the development of our Middle School minds every day in our classrooms. Whether we are conjugating Latin verbs, discussing the Cold War, acting out Julius Caesar, or trying to create a successful circuit, our teachers are always there to support and guide us through our studies. The development of our bodies happens every day in gym classes, intramurals, and afterschool sports. We might be running laps around the gym, competing with our fellow Houses, or winning the Middle School basketball championship. Through it all, our P.E. teachers and our coaches help us to achieve stronger bodies and stronger characters. Our spiritual development happens every day and in many ways: through religion classes, House and School Masses, and retreats. Our spiritual life is further strengthened by the monks and by the community as a whole. Being an Abbey school makes us a special place, too.
Through the monks, we learn dedication, service, and prayer. We also learn Cactonian languages and customs and all about the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. I had the privilege of attending Vespers and dinner with the monks back in December. I was amazed at how the monks remained silent all through dinner while one monk read a book aloud. This opportunity reminded me how lucky we are to have the monks here and to attend a Benedictine school. The Benedictine tradition of dedication, service, prayer, and scholarship is practiced by every boy in our school. This tradition creates a well-rounded boy who is active, dedicated, prayerful, and eager to learn. I am proud to be a part of this special community. On behalf of Form II, I would like to thank Fr. Peter and all the monks for their dedicated and prayerful example. We also thank Mr. Crittenberger, Mr. Mehigan, and all of our teachers, coaches, and staff who work so hard for our benefit. You know us by name. You know us as individuals. You guide us and support us every day. We thank our parents who sacrifice in a variety of ways to send us to this special school. I thank my classmates for their support and friendship. St. Benedict teaches us that “always we begin again.” Whether you are continuing on at the Abbey or going to another school, I wish you well as you begin again in high school. Thank you, and congratulations.

The Devine Family Scholarship
Making a Difference for Generations to Come Mr. Brian Devine, ’59, and his wife, Silvija, are generous souls. This past December, on behalf of the Brian Devine Family Trust, they donated over $1 million to establish the Devine Family Scholarship, part of the School’s Endowed Scholarship Fund. It is a gift that keeps on giving, since the Endowment is permanently restricted for need-based scholarship and expands our ability to support outstanding students every year. The first Devine Family Scholar is entering St. Anselm’s in the fall of 2013. Mr. and Mrs. Devine’s contribution was the shining highlight of our giving year. Mr. Devine is past President and CEO and current Chairman of the Board of Petco Animal Supplies, Inc. Before his days as a business executive and civic leader, he was a student at St. Anselm’s, where he performed with the Priory Players, wrote for the literary magazine, and edited the school paper. The Devine Family Scholarship ensures that others can benefit from the kind of education which Mr. Devine says prepared him “to handle anything and everything in life.”
Mr. and Mrs. Devine were inducted into the School’s Hall of Honor at the 2003 Fall Scholarship Gala for their commitment to advancing the mission of St. Anselm’s. Here, they enjoy a moment with Abbot Aidan Shea, OSB.
Previously, in 2002, the Devine Family made a gift that allowed the old School gymnasium to be renovated into the state-of-the-art performing arts center that now bears their name. We send our sincerest thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Devine for their extraordinary generosity and selfless example.

2012-2013 Annual Report
| 29
St. Anselm’s Abbey Washington, D.C.
A Message from the Abbot Dear Friends of St. Anselm’s, It is a privilege for me to be able to include this message in our Abbey School’s Annual Report and thereby introduce the list of persons who have so generously contributed to the monastery over the past fiscal year. Most of you already know that a major event in the abbey this year was the opening of our renovated seniors wing, named in honor of our school’s third Headmaster, Fr. Hugh Monmonier. This has proved to be a wonderful asset. Two of our monks—Abbot Aidan Shea and Fr. Hilary Hayden—are already residing in that wing, and we have been able to make excellent use of other of its rooms on a temporary basis until still more monks move in there. The marvelous generosity of some major donors allowed us to finance this renovation without the need of a public campaign, although such a campaign may well be necessary as we examine still other parts of the monastery that are in very serious need of expansion or renovation. It goes without saying that people are far more important than buildings, and I would never want to be remembered as primarily some kind of bricks-and-mortar abbot. In my message in last year’s report, I mentioned that we had three postulants. As I write, they are now in their tenth month of novitiate, and there are several other men who are very seriously considering applying to join our community. When we were singing the traditional Marian anthem at the end of Compline a few weeks ago, the thought suddenly came into my mind that this is really a wonderful kind of life for persons who are called to it, for in such cases whatever sacrifices need to be made are more than compensated for by the wonderful balance of the peaceful Benedictine horarium, with its daily round of prayer, work, reading, and relaxation. One of our current novices is an alumnus of our school, and I dearly hope that other men whom we have had as our students may one day become monks teaching the next generation of young men in our school. One significant event this past summer was the quadrennial General Chapter meeting of the English Benedictine Congregation, held at Belmont Abbey in Herefordshire. One of the topics most frequently mentioned was the value of collaboration among the thirteen abbeys of our congregation. A specific example of this lies in our own community’s now using for much of our music at Mass the fine English Gradual produced by the monks of Belmont. I myself am one of our cantors (more by default than because of a particularly fine singing voice), but I do find the music in that Gradual prayerful, beautiful, and not too difficult. At those daily Masses, we regularly pray for all of the friends and benefactors of the entire St. Anselm’s family. We are always ready and happy to serve you in any way we can. Sincerely yours,
James A. Wiseman, OSB Abbot
