ways that God has worked in his life. As he reflects on his life journey, he considers his story and wonders where God has been in his pilgrimage. Coming to a deep realization of the abiding presence of God, he writes, “Late have I loved you, O beauty ever ancient, ever new.” Augustine confesses that his life to that point had been filled with an exhausting search for God in all the wrong places. He finally realizes that God has been with him all along. God, the ancient one, is also always new, creative and the source of liberating imagination.

I think of Augustine’s insight as I review a year in the life of Loyola Academy. Some things are

part of the ancient tradition of our Catholic faith and the 105 years of Jesuit education at Loyola.

In a sense, some things never change; our core mission will always be to form young women

and men for meaningful lives of service and leadership as they prepare for college and beyond.

Rhythms and patterns of the year are very familiar. And yet, our mission of Jesuit education is always new here at Loyola. Every day is another opportunity for members of our community to

President’s Message

In his fourth-century, reflective, autobiographical masterpiece, St. Augustine ponders the

I see this ever-emerging newness in the ways that our community has attempted to inte-

grate technology into our shared learning. Such powerful tools have made their way into our classrooms as our one-to-one iPad initiative has been rolled out over the last 18 months. There are so many new and exciting dimensions to this experience, such as flipped classrooms and increased collaboration among teachers and students as they learn together in teams. The newness is thrilling, but there is something very ancient embedded in this new reality as well.

We work hard to remember that these technological innovations are simply tools to assist us in our very old mission of education and formation. The great human questions framed within our Catholic and Jesuit traditions remain our core purpose for learning. We continue to see all of our learning as a quest to engage God’s good creation in a reflective conversation about who we are and who we are called to become. Learning and technology…ever ancient, ever new.

As I reflect on these last 12 months at Loyola, I find myself filled with gratitude. We are

blessed by 2,000 students whose families have chosen this place to be their home away from

home and a center for learning and formation. I am grateful for our phenomenal, talented faculty members who daily engage the great questions with zeal and imagination. I am grateful that Loyola Academy is such a vibrant community—–fully aware of its mission to be an imaginative Jesuit faith and education center for our students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff. We are charged up and thankful for the inspired leadership of a new Jesuit pope who burst onto the scene in 2013 and revived the imagination and joy of a worldwide Church we call home.

How blessed we are to have journeyed this past year with all of its highs and lows in the sure

and certain knowledge that our God, ever ancient and ever new, companions us each step of the way. Here’s to a creative, imaginative, hope-charged 2014!

THE RAMBLER IN RAHM’S OFFICE

A

After parlaying an unpaid 2004 internship into a plum position as deputy director of communications for the Clinton Foundation in Harlem, coordinating media on the campaign trail for Hillary’s 2008 presidential bid and crossing the continent to serve as senior press secretary for the mayor of L.A., Sarah A. Hamilton ’99 has returned to her home turf to tackle the rough and tumble world of Chicago politics as communications director for Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

It was 6:15 on a snowy December morning and Sarah Hamilton was already on the job, scouring a stack of local and national papers and logging on to the local news websites to get a jump on the day’s news. By 7 a.m., she was on the phone with Mayor Emanuel, giving him a quick overview of the news stories that were likely to have an impact on their day and discussing an upcoming press conference announcing the city’s new task force on domestic violence.

And that was before Hamilton had even left her Lincoln Park apartment to tackle the controlled chaos of the Mayor’s Communications Office at City Hall.

It was the usual rapid-fire start to a day in

LOYO L A M AG A Z I N E

Hamilton’s life as Rahm Emanuel’s director of communications.

But, then, fast starts are business as usual for this ambitious 32-year-old, who has channeled her passion for politics, her skill as a communicator and her ability to think on her feet into a high-profile career as a spokesperson for some of America’s most prominent politicians.

Colleen A. Clennon ’99, a Loyola classmate and close friend, recalls that Hamilton’s driven pursuit of excellence was evident even during their Rambler days.

“Sarah was a multi-sport athlete and an honors student who loved American history,” recalls Clennon. “She was a deep thinker even then. She had fantastic

relationships with her teachers, and she was always introducing everyone she knew to more mature experiences and more insightful ways of looking at the world.”

Hamilton’s swift ascent into the highaltitude world of presidential and mayoral politics began, interestingly enough, as a “Plan B” of sorts. After graduating from Loyola Academy in 1999, she headed east to Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service to earn her bachelor’s degree in foreign policy and international politics.

From there, she continued on to New York University to pursue a graduate degree and possibly a career in international relations.

In 2004, after her first semester at NYU, Hamilton applied for an unpaid internship working for the foreign policy advisor at the Clinton Foundation, which at that time was a very new NGO in Harlem. She started in January. Four months later, she was offered a full-time position at the foundation.

And that’s when things got interesting.

Because the position wasn’t with the foreign policy advisor. It was in Bill Clinton’s press office.

“The chief of staff at the foundation approached me and said, ‘We think you’re smart and talented, and we’d like to offer you a job working in the press office doing anything and everything—–from going

through the papers every morning and clipping stories that would be of interest to the foundation to writing Clinton’s briefing memos, talking points and formal remarks, working with the senior staff to hit just the right note.’”

Hamilton would also be charged with assisting in the development of long-term press strategies for major foundation initiatives such as the Clinton Global Initiative, the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative, the Clinton Climate Initiative and the Alliance for a Healthier Generation.

Never one to shy away from a challenge, she seized the opportunity.

Despite the steep learning curve, she continued to pursue her NYU graduate studies at night, completing the two-year program in a year and a half with a perfect 4.0 grade point average.

“I was working seven-day weeks—–and then some,” she recalls with a chuckle.

“There were a lot of really late nights and really early mornings.”

Three years later, she was promoted to deputy director of communications.

“It was a remarkable period,” Hamilton muses. “I was, for all intents and purposes, a kid working for the former president of the United States. Clinton was Jesuit educated as well, and his conviction that we all

have a greater purpose—–that we are not here to sit idly by when there are problems in the world to be solved—–had a tremendous impact on me. It was an experience that could never be replicated—–an opportunity to learn from one of the best communicators and politicians that we are going to see in many years. My years at the foundation have had a big impact on what I do now as a communicator charged with putting forth a message.”

Over the next four years, Hamilton’s ability to keep a cool head in the pressure cooker of American politics opened doors to a mind-boggling array of career opportunities. She zigzagged across the country managing media and campaign messaging for Hillary Clinton’s presidential primary campaign and then headed out to the West Coast to handle press duties for Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.

But mayoral terms come to an end.

With that reality looming on the horizon, Hamilton made the decision to return to her native city to run the press shop for the Chicago Police Department.

Hamilton had spent a mere four months flacking for the city’s police commissioner when the mayor’s office came knocking. She signed on as director of

Today, Hamilton heads up a team of 15 —– including two deputy directors of communications, one press secretary, three assistant press secretaries, press aides, a speechwriter and a rotating cast of interns. Her days are action-packed and often unpredictable. But this is what Hamilton thrives on.

“I love working in city government,” she confides. “Everything that I’ve done so far has honed my skills for this role and led me to this point. There are days that are challenging, but it’s a great feeling to know that I’m serving the city and its taxpayers.

I’ve always been drawn to public service—– and that stems from my Jesuit education and my desire to improve the lives of others in any small way that I can.” 4

A Tribute to a True Couple for Others In November, the Loyola community stepped out to support our Jesuit mission and pay tribute to the late Joan F. and William J. Lavezzorio ’46, who were honored in memoriam with the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, SJ, Award for Distinguished Service in the Cause of Youth.

“It is a privilege tonight to celebrate a great couple and their extraordinary legacy,” commented Fr. McGrath as he gazed out at nearly 600 elegantly attired guests gathered in the Chicago Hilton’s Grand Ballroom. “We have all been touched by the legacy of Joan and Bill Lavezzorio, their children, their generosity to so many exceptional charities, their great love and their great devotion to Loyola Academy.”

“We know our parents are watching over this event tonight —– if for no other reason than they would never miss a good party!” quipped Gilmore Lavezzorio-Brennan after accepting the award on her family’s behalf. She went on to describe her parents as “two people who simply tried to do God’s work using the gifts that He gave them.”

T 19 0 9 Gilmore LavezzorioBrennan’s eloquent and emotionally stirring tribute to her late parents, Lord Award recipients Joan F. and William J. Lavezzorio ’46, was a highlight of the evening.

Joan F. and William J. Lavezzorio ’46 firmly believed in the power of faith and education—–and they worked diligently to offer both to young people through their lifelong support of Loyola Academy. They quietly paid the tuition of numerous Ramblers in need, supported the renovation of Loyola’s chapel in the 1970s and gave

After Bill passed away at the

age of 50, Joan continued to devote her life to helping others by serving on the boards of the Big Shoulders Foundation, the Cabrini Mission Foundation, Catholic Charities of Chicago, the Catholic Theological Union, the Gregorian University Foundation, LINK Unlimited, Loyola Academy, the Mazza Foundation, St. Francis Hospital and the St. Joseph’s Hospital Auxiliary.

The members of our Boys’ Varsity Basketball Team dedicated their playing season to Emmanuel Sarpong ’16, who collapsed during basketball practice in June 2013. Emmanuel was rushed to the hospital, where physicians discovered an undiagnosed heart condition.

In December, the team sponsored a Sarpong Awareness Night, which raised more than $15,000 from gate and concession revenues, a Healing for Emmanuel raffle and donations from the Loyola community Emmanuel Sarpong ‘16 to help cover the cost of Emmanuel’s long-term care at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The benefit also featured some inspired action on the basketball court as our girls’ and boys’ teams competed against their Evanston rivals.

Emmanuel’s fellow players on the boys’ team beat Evanston 65-57.

We are appealing to our global community of Loyola alumni, parents, students and friends to help the Sarpong family pay for the rapidly escalating medical costs associated with Emmanuel’s continued rehabilitation. To lend your much-needed support, please donate to the Loyola Academy Needy Family Fund online at goramblers.org/sarpongfund or mail your check made payable to the Loyola Academy Needy Family Fund to Loyola Academy, 1100 Laramie Avenue, Wilmette IL 60091, Attention: Emmanuel Sarpong Support Fund.

MILESTONES

50 Years and Still Men for Others Fifty years of life after Loyola is a major milestone, so the members of the Class of 1963 decided to commemorate their 50th reunion last June with a grand gesture: a class gift of $53,000 to establish a scholarship for Ramblers in need.

The gift will be used to fund a $10,000 Class of 1963 Scholarship for one Rambler each year for five consecutive years. When the class celebrates its 55th Reunion in 2018, the members plan to fund another scholarship to help more Ramblers.

But this spirited reunion celebration wasn’t just about giving. It was also about reconnecting as nearly 80 alumni rambled in from all over the country to commune with their former Loyola classmates.

“Both during and since the reunion, our classmates have been extraordinarily generous with their praise and gratitude,” the reunion committee reported in a post-event letter. “They enjoyed the golf outing, the cocktail party, the architectural tour, the dinner and the school tour. In particular, the Mass touched hearts, with its votive procession commemorating our deceased classmates, while classmate Deacon John Lucas assisted Loyola President Rev. Pat McGrath, SJ, in celebrating the Eucharist. Later, during dinner, our veterans were formally recognized, while the inimitable Pat Boyle, SJ, appeared in person to be cheered for his dual Silver Stars service to us and our country. It doesn’t get better than this!”
