SPECIAL - St. John Vianney High School
N SP U EC A IS L R IA SU E L E PO RT fall 2011 AN the official magazine of St. John Vianney High School BLACK & GOLD Remembering Two Iconic Griffins Every member of the Vianney family has had an affect on this community in his or her own way. We note the deaths of two members because of the significant impact they made on us in two very different ways. Teacher Mr. Gene Kwasinski Mr. Eugene Kwasinski died July 13, 2011, following a long struggle with cancer. Affectionately known as "Kwas," Mr. Kwasinski taught at Vianney from 1961 to 1967 and again from 1977 to 1999. During his long and distinguished career, he taught Latin, religion and developmental reading. He will also be very fondly remembered as a football, wrestling and track and field coach. He was inducted into Vianney's Hall of Fame in 2007. “I had Kwas for freshman football, homeroom and Latin for three of my four years. At first I was intimidated by him … but over the years I began to see the twinkle in his eye and recognize his deep goodness. He made a major impact on my life,” said Charlie Hoffman '67. and catch phrases that still stick with me today,” said Steve Fraraccio ’95. And although nearly three decades separated these former students, their reminiscence of Kwas was remarkably similar. “Even though Kwas tried to have a rough and tough exterior, I knew him to be a loving and caring man. He had some of the best one-liners Mr. Gene “Kwas” Kwasinski celebrating Halloween at Vianney. Kwas was known as a strict teacher who also recognized the value of humor. Alumnus and artist Mr. Bob Cassilly ’68 Mr. Bob Cassilly was killed in a bulldozer accident Sept. 26, 2011. Artist and Vianney alumnus Mr. Bob Cassilly ’68, creating the Griffin statue in 1994. At Vianney, Mr. Cassilly will be remembered as the creator of our iconic Griffin statue, which was unveiled in 1994. As the story goes, the original request was for two small Griffins that would be mounted on pillars on either side of the main drive. In typical Cassilly fashion, the artist chose his own approach and created one massive bronze beast. Griffins Create “Cardboard Village” Earlier this fall, about 20 Vianney students and staff members experienced, briefly, the plight of the homeless when they took part in a “cardboard village” on Vianney’s campus. The boys who chose to participate were instructed to bring a cardboard box, a plastic tarp and sleeping bag. They were expected to leave cell phones, iPods, snacks and other teen essentials at home. Before adjourning to their makeshift shelters outside, the boys attended Mass and cre- Mr. Cassilly was among the first group of men inducted into Vianney’s Hall of Fame when it was launched in 1997. Cassilly was the founder of the tremendously popular and eclectic St. Louis City Museum. At the time of his death, Cassilly was working on “Cementland,” his vision for converting the shuttered Portland Cement factory into an amusement park. Ms. Fitzpatrick said. ated fleece blankets for donation to a local homeless shelter. “Most of our students live very comfortable lives,” said Ms. Mary Kay Fitzpatrick, Vianney’s Director of Campus Ministry. “It’s OK for them to feel what it’s like to be cold, to wake up cold. We hope it gives them more empathy for people who live that reality,” Above: Sophomore Ben Dombrowski peers out from his cardboard home before turning in for the night.

New faces, new demands, new schedules, new enticements and new conflicts all roll into those first few weeks of school. Vianney recognizes how tough being a freshman is for many students, and so we have a strategic means of helping these young Griffins make a great transition to high school. We call it: Link Crew. Vianney’s Link Crew is made up of juniors and seniors who volunteer to smooth this transition time for the newest batch of Griffins. This year, nearly 80 upperclassmen made a commitment to share their time, knowledge and spirit with our 170 freshmen. Link Crew members must apply and are selected the previous spring. They go through a multi-day formal training process and give up a significant amount of their own time to be part of freshman orientation and to lead “Link Rooms” during the first few weeks of school. “Our Link Crew guys volunteer because they remember their Link Crew leaders when they were freshmen. Clearly it made a positive impression on them, and now they want to return the favor,” said teacher Mr. Kevin Walsh ’91, the Link Crew moderator. In their white “superhero” t-shirts, Link Crew leaders senior Ian Wohlstadter (left) and junior Mike Mataya lead freshmen including Michael Babb, Nick Hebenstreit and Brendan Wood on a school tour. One of the Link Crew leaders’ goals is to ensure the young Griffins know their way around before school starts. The Link Crew program has two basic goals, according to Mr. Walsh. “First, it ensures that each freshman is connected to some upperclassmen so that he has built-in mentors. Secondly, it gives the freshmen a chance to become connected to a wide variety of their own Oh yeah, our freshmen feel welcome at Vianney! Link Crew volunteers Joey Lux (back to camera), Quinn Cochran and Andrew Auer, all seniors, welcome freshman Codie Orberson as he arrives for orientation. classmates before school even starts,” Mr. Walsh said. And while the freshmen are learning the ropes at Vianney, their Link Crew leaders are gaining some valuable leadership skills. “Link Crew has become a big part of who we are and how we treat each other at Vianney. It’s a very positive program for both the freshmen and the Link Crew leaders,” Mr. Walsh said. Showing what Vianney spirit looks like, Link Crew members Rob Bieg, Jack O’Brien, Tony Cochran and Tyler Picha, all seniors, welcome and direct freshmen as they arrive for the first day of orientation. 3 BLACK & GOLD Spirit Week and Homecoming By the Numbers Spirit Week and Homecoming are always highlights of the fall calendar at Vianney. Here’s a look at some of the impressive numbers from the big week! 45 Number of consecutive Vianney Homecomings attended by retired teacher and coach Don Heeb. Number of yards rushing by Griffin running back winner of the Randy Frisch Memorial MVP Award. 227 sophomore Markel Smith. Markel was chosen the Height of sophomore Marc Scheipeter wearing drywaller’s stilts as an expression of spirit on Black and Gold day. He was still a bit shorter than non-stilt-wearing senior George Suggs, 6'10". 6'8" 31 Number of students with roles in the Spirit Mass Oct. 5. 648 Number of black, yellow and white balloons purchased and blown up by StuCo members. The balloons blanketed the hallway floors the morning of homecoming. Number of balloons remaining by the start of first period? About six. 70+ Members of the class of 2006 who attended their fifth-year reunion at Homecoming. Griffin chosen Homecoming King. Seniors selected classmate Tommy Dapron, whose date, and hence 1 Homecoming Queen, was Rosati-Kain senior Marisa Mueller. $40 Cost of a pair of homecoming dance tickets. Some 310 Griffins and their dates took part in the big event. 71° Temperature at game time. It was a perfect night for Griffin football. 470 Number of hamburgers, hotdogs and brats grilled for the tailgate event preceding the big game. Final score of the homecoming game. Way to go Griffins! 29-22 Enthusiasm runs high during Spirit Week! Sophomore Marc Scheipeter (left, 6'8") towered over nearly every Griffin in his drywaller’s stilts on Black and Gold Day. Senior George Suggs (right, 6'10") was not to be topped, however. Sophomore David Zahn (center, 5'10") was volunteered to provide some scale for the photo! 4 It was a beautiful night for the tailgate gathering before the game. Alumni Nate Stein ’03 and Nick Pudlowski ’10 cook up some hamburgers for the crowd, while Ben Goedeker ’10 pretends to help. Stein also teaches and coaches at Vianney. FALL 2011 Sophomore running back Markel Smith displays the style that earned him the Randy Frisch Memorial Most Valuable Player award. Markel rushed 277 yards in the game, including a 56-yard touchdown run. As a representative of his class, junior StuCo officer Max Oldani lights a candle at the start of the Spirit Mass while his classmates recite a special prayer. In recognition of October as Breast Cancer Awareness month, Griffins were encouraged to wear pink that day. Above: Competition was fierce at the musical chairs contest during the Friday pep rally. Snagging seats in the early rounds were juniors Vince Riggio, Dan Reilly, Jason Hackett and Brendan Keller. Right: “… Vianney, Vianney, Vianney, HEY!” Senior StuCo leaders blast out the fight song at the conclusion of the Spirit Mass. From left are Paul Scheipeter, Tom Dwyer, Tony Cochran and Andrew Auer. Alumni attending the homecoming game were welcome to pick up a free “Once a Griffin, Always a Griffin” t-shirt from the Alumni Association. Association volunteer Tony Sebben ’71, provides a shirt to Tom Dapron ’78. The following evening Dapron’s son Tommy Dapron was elected Homecoming King by his fellow seniors. 5 BLACK & GOLD Friendship Forged at Vianney Leads to a Legal Alliance “During our junior year of college, Mick and I began discussing going to law school,” Steve said. “And then, throughout law school we always dreamed of one day opening our own practice together.” Andrew “Mick” Henderson ’01 and Steve Watterkotte ’01 became friends their freshmen year at Vianney. They had older brothers who were classmates (Jeff Henderson ’99 and Eric Watterkotte ’99) and they both loved sports — although Steve played basketball and baseball and Mick played football and hockey. As sometimes happens, they just clicked and were fast friends throughout high school. The pair took the leap in 2010 and opened their doors as Henderson & Waterkotte P.C. Mick focuses mostly on personal injury and civil litigation cases; Steve practices almost exclusively in criminal defense. The two went their separate ways after graduation. Steve went to Webster University and got a BA in English and Education. Mick started out at the University of South Florida, transferred to the University of Missouri – St. Louis and got a BS in business administration. Yet they kept in touch, hung out together frequently and talked about the future. “Some people may consider it risky to go into business with a good friend,” Mick said. “But Steve and I share a lot of the same enthusiasm and goals. A positive attitude, trust and the ability to remain open-minded allow us to work well together,” he said. Ten years later, Steve Waterkotte ’01 (left) and Mick Henderson ’01 return to the home of their friendship and business partnership. The pair remains in contact with favorite Vianney teachers, and Henderson is a coach of the Vianney hockey team. Senior Citizen Lelis Djona is like many Vianney seniors in a lot of ways. He likes action movies and hip-hop. He plays football and basketball. He was on homecoming court. Unlike other Vianney seniors, however, Lelis is a newly minted U.S. citizen. He took his citizenship oath in September. Lelis is from the Democratic Republic of Congo. He fled the country with his grandmother in 1998, as Tutsis like Lelis’ family were being tortured or even killed by the Hutu government. Lelis and his grandmother spent two years in refugee camps before being given asylum in the United States. The milestone of becoming a U.S. citizen is important to Lelis in a number of ways, The 2001 Vianney Talon yearbook notes that Mick was the senior “most likely to become a professional speaker and do commercial voice-overs.” Steve was voted “most likely to open a tanning salon.” Well, at least their friendship was on target. Senior Scholars Each year, about 1.5 million high school juniors at 22,000 high schools across the country take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT). Vianney is proud to have three students who were recognized this fall for their exceptional performance on this key test. Zakary Krekeler was named a National Merit Scholarship Program Finalist. This means that Zak scored in the top 1 percent of all students taking the test. This accomplishment puts Zak in the running for additional recognition and significant college scholarships. Josh Giegling and Drew Imhoff were named Commended students in the National Merit Scholarship competition. Josh and Drew scored in the top 5 percent of students in the country. This designation will also ensure 6 Vianney senior Lelis Djona on the day he took his oath of U.S. citizenship. He played a football game later that day. but perhaps most critical is that he will be allowed to petition for his mother to come to the United States. He has been separated from her since the day Hutu soldiers raided his neighborhood. In the wake of the turmoil, she ended up with asylum in Belgium. Lelis has seen her only a handful of times since. Vianney was proud to have three seniors recognized for their performance on the PSAT. “Commended” students included Drew Imhoff (left) and Josh Giegling. Zak Krekeler (seated) was named a “Finalist.” additional academic scholarship consideration for these Griffins. Congratulations to these top-scoring scholars! There’s a lot more to Lelis’ story. Suffice it to say that this Vianney senior citizen has traveled a difficult road to get where he is today. But he’s a U.S. citizen. Maybe his mother will be able to come here soon. And for now, Lelis is among good friends at Vianney, just being another Griffin. FALL 2011 Classmate Update 99 67 It was wedding bells in September for Tim Goede. He married Bishop DuBourg grad Jamie Diaz at St. Martin of Tours. Goede is President of Personalized Management Associates, an executive recruiting firm. 70 Daniel Schou is president of Source Medical, a nationwide physician search firm based in Creve Coeur. Schou has been with the firm for six years. When he became president in 2009, he was the youngest in the firm’s 40year history. It’s about more than a smile. Dr. Mark Ortinau spent part of June and September as a volunteer in Kosovo, providing free dental care through an organization called Service International. 19 Griffins roar in all kinds of ways. Stephen Kellar recently was elected director of the American Legion Riders, Post 166, in Goose Creek, S.C. The organization is made up of motorcycle riders who support state and local veterans and service members by sponsoring charitable motorcycle events. Soccer Made in St. Louis is the title of a new book by Dave Lange. According to the CEO & Secretary General of US Soccer, the colorful book “takes soccer fans on a fantastic journey that educates and also entertains.” The book includes a section on high school soccer with a mention of Vianney’s own legendary coach, Mike Villa. Find out more about the book at ReedyPress.com. 19 71 19 72 Maybe you saw the giant Wehrenberg Theatres balloon at the Great Forest Park Balloon Race this fall, but maybe you didn’t see that it was being wrangled by Greg Hanson. Hanson caught the ballooning bug in the 1980s when he saw Vianney’s homecoming queen land in a hot air balloon on the 50-yard line. Hanson now runs Balloon Port of St. Louis. 19 19 00 Adam Byrne was named among the “30 Under 30” high achievers by the St. Louis Business Journal in July. Byrne is a Senior Category manager at Anheuser-Busch InBev. His career with A-B began as a busboy in the executive dining room while he was at St. Louis University. Now he travels the world on behalf of the giant brewer. 20 02 Mark Sucher is currently a resident at the University of California, Davis Medical Center in the department of orthopedic surgery. He received his medical degree from the University of Missouri in 2010. He is also engaged to marry John Burroughs grad Lauren Walsh. 20 03 20 Bethany and Dan Allgeyer welcomed their second child, James Phillip, in September. George “Rob” F. Robbins Jr. recently was elected President of the St. Louis Chapter of the Missouri Society of Accountants. He will also serve as the chapter’s representative on the Society’s state board. Robbins has worked at Hughes, Wilner, & Wolfe in Ladue as a tax accountant for 16 years. The Missouri Botanical Garden was the site of a drizzly, cool and nonetheless lovely May wedding for Kevin Haar Jr. and Allison Gordon. Classmates Keith Goltschman, Matt Kuse and Eric Reinhold were groomsmen. Haar is an associate VP of investments at Wells Fargo Advisors. 74 19 88 Jason Hagerty is a catcher for the San Antonio Missions. Hagerty’s team recently won their 12th Texas League title with 100 wins in the season. The AA team is an affiliate of the San Diego Padres. 19 It’s book #7 for Thomas Freese. He recently published More True Tales of Ghosts, Spirits and Angels. Trent Green was inducted into the University of Indiana’s Athletic Hall of Fame in September. A starter for Indiana, Green also spent 15 years as a quarterback in the NFL. 94 Boys are a bit of a specialty in this family. Luke Bader (one of six Bader Griffins) and his wife Sue welcomed a son, Zeke, in September. Zeke joins big brother Gavin. 19 06 20 07 Perhaps it’s inevitable for twins to do things together. Jake and Joe Madden both were named to the Dean’s List at Maryville University. They graduated in May with bachelor’s degrees in business administration. 20 08 Sometimes, being on the sidelines is a dream come true. Ben Krueger is back at Lindenwood University now, but he spent the summer as an athletic training intern with the Washington Redskins at their training camp in Ashburn, Va. When he was at Vianney, Krueger worked alongside former trainer Doug Hepburn for the varsity Griffins. 20 Ben Purk, a senior at Lasell College in Boston, is currently interning with the Providence Bruins. The Bruins are an American Hockey League team. 09 Tyler Immethun just passed his real estate exam and is now a licensed real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty. He reports that he would be happy to assist you with buying or selling your home. 20 10 A Vianney mission trip during his senior year caused Kyle Florez to consider the paths before him. He has chosen to enter the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and pursue becoming a Catholic. He has asked classmate Nick Pence to be his sponsor. 20 In memory Inocencio Boc – Father of Inocencio Jr. ’86, Robert ’90 and Kenneth ’97.

The mansion was built by Daniel Sydney Brown around 1882. Brown was heir to Pioneer Cooperage and was also a skilled horticulturalist. The Brown estate included 140 acres, with greenhouses, orchards and a wide variety of native and exotic trees. The mansion served as a family home for only one generation, however. Brown sold the property to the Society of Mary (Marianists) in 1919. For about two decades, the Marianists used the Brown home for a novitiate, where young men would take a year of religious training before professing their initial vows. From 1948 to 1988, Brownhurst housed Catholic Authors Press, a distribution operation for Catholic textbooks and reference materials. One man, Bro. George Schuster, S.M., presided over the operation and lived by himself in the building. Bro. Schuster was confined to a wheelchair and being able to live and work in one space suited his preferences. From 1989 to the present, Brownhurst remained vacant. At least three attempts — from the early 1990s through 2007 — had been made to “save Brownhurst.” But ultimately, each attempt was abandoned because of the high costs of renovation and the building’s lack of Above: Brownhurst in pre-Vianney days.

Below right: Brownhurst earlier this fall. suitability for any logical, long-term use. As owners of the Vianney property, the Marianists had offered publicly to donate the structure to any group or individual willing to move it off Vianney’s campus, but there were no takers. Neither Vianney nor the Marianists considered it acceptable to have an outside entity operating out of the structure on campus. A Brownhurst Mystery While Brownhurst was never officially used by Vianney, it served at least one sneaky purpose. During the early 1980s, from a window high in Brownhurst, teacher John Burcke would keep an eye out for students who parked illicitly in the Lutheran Center parking lot. He would telephone Dean of Students Bro. Len Rudy, S.M., in the school office. When the scofflaws entered school, a reproachful Bro. Rudy would be waiting and would march them back out to move their cars. The guilty boys never figured out how they got caught. 8 “I wish we had been able to save the building, but in reality, Vianney has to focus on our mission of educating young men,” said Vianney President Mr. Mike Loyet ’77. “If we or the Marianists had the $2 million or more Brownhurst would have required, we certainly couldn’t justify spending it on rehabbing an old building. Our investments have to be in meeting the more pressing educational needs of our students,” Mr. Loyet said. The building site, which adjoins the Marianist cemetery, will be converted to green space. Thanks to Fr. Joe Uvietta, S.M., and Bro. Len Rudy, S.M., for their assistance with historical information. St. John Vianney High School is dedicated to forming young men for spiritual, academic and personal excellence in the Catholic, Marianist tradition. Spirit of Family The ANNUAL REPORT 2010-2011 One of the characteristics of Marianist education is “To educate in the family spirit.” At Vianney, we believe very strongly in the importance of family. And it’s clear that our “family” believes strongly in Vianney. This Annual Report is a small way we thank the generous members of the Vianney family who gave of their time and treasure to ensure a strong, Catholic, Marianist education for more than 600 boys in the fiscal year 2010-2011. We are grateful for the very generous support of the Vianney family. You make it all possible! Members of the class of 2014, including Eric Biras, Brandon Elder, Ryan Walsh, Blake Strebler and Zach Lauer await the start of the homecoming game in 2010. 9 St. John Vianney High School Financials

These classes help gear up Griffins for the rigors of college, and in many cases earn students college credit. In the 2010-2011 school year, Vianney introduced the Dual-Enrollment program, which is offered in cooperation with St. Louis Community College at Meramec. Seniors who met certain requirements had the opportunity to take classes on site at Meramec for both Vianney and college credit. In Advanced Placement Chemistry class, then-junior Andy Dytuco uses a pipette to transfer solution to a test tube. Because of their challenging nature, classes like this one are worth an additional one-half point on the grade scale.

Mission Work with a Reggae Beat A Caribbean island may sound like a perfect vacation escape, but for 17 Griffins last summer, it was all about work. A troop of students, one alumnus and three adult volunteers spent eight days in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on a mission trip with groups from other high schools across the country. The work — in 100-degree heat — included repairing fences and homes, and mixing concrete by hand to pour a foundation for a community center. The trip was coordinated by Vianney Chaplain Fr. Tim Kenney, S.M., through an organization called Catholic Heart Work Camp. Class Of 1991 Buergler, David F. Cordes, David C. Geldmacher, Christopher K. George, Michael R. Giljum, Brian C.

A Tradition of Griffin Generosity You know Christmas is coming when the Toys for Tots drive canisters are making the rounds in the Griffins’ Café. Last year, Vianney students donated a cool $7,300 during just four days of lunchtime collections. Competition between classes helped spark the success of the drive, which is sponsored by the Lettermen’s Club. With the proceeds from the collection, Griffins were able to purchase 1,191 toys for donation to the Salvation Army’s annual toy drive. 16 Scholarship Fund Donors Tom Cella Memorial Scholarship Buttice, Joseph & Melissa Chier, James & Kimberly Donahue, Jill & Kyle Flynn, Daniel & Cathy Leibrecht, Sandra Lessmann, Scott & Kathleen Mantia, Michael & Sharon McLaughlin, Kevin & Laura Tissi, Anthony & Barb Wilder, Katrina Gerald Cutter Memorial Scholarship Downing, Thomas & Nikki Jack Glaser Memorial Scholarship O’Brien, Thomas & Mary Brian Gruender Memorial Scholarship Felling, Michael & Darlene Klotz, Thomas & Corie Robert W.

Have You Remembered Vianney In Your Will? By remembering St. John Vianney High School in your will, you can influence the lives of young men in a beautiful and profound way. Then-sophomore James Cocroft hands a softball to his Special School District buddy, while then-junior Tim Tresslar waits to record her throw. James and Tim were among roughly 200 Griffins who stepped up to make it a gold-medal day for the Olympians. A bequest is one of the simplest ways to provide for Vianney’s future, and it can take many forms. For example, you may arrange for Vianney to receive: • A specific dollar amount. • Specified assets, such as securities, real estate or tangible property. • All or a percentage of the remainder of your estate after any obligations have been met. You may make a bequest to Vianney by preparing a new will or adding a codicil to your present will. An outright bequest to Vianney is fully tax-deductible for estate-tax purposes. The gift of Catholic education at Vianney is a significant way your dreams and beliefs can live on even after you are gone. Please discuss this opportunity with your family and consult your attorney or financial adviser for more informaation. Warm Spirits at Soggy Special Olympics The day was cool and damp, but spirits were bright for Vianney’s ninth annual hosting of Special Olympics in May. The Griffins welcomed about 110 athletes from the St. Louis Special School District for the track and field competition. In all, nearly 200 Vianney student volunteers worked to make the day fun and truly special for our guests. the official magazine of the st. john vianney high school family 1311 S.
