SUMMER 2013

Cascia Community,
s we reflect upon the many events
of the 2012/13 school year we
see many accomplishments, which you will
see throughout this
newsletter, and many
challenges. Our senior
leaders began the year
creating a theme “The
One”. The theme not
only represented our
attempt to instill our
core value Unitas, it
also created a daily
reminder of service to others.
A
On behalf of the faculty and staff we
would like to commend our seniors
for their leadership and their ability to
focus on others rather than just themselves. Examples of student leadership
ranged from the opening week allschool picnic, suggested and planned
entirely by our student leaders, to
building a house for a deserving family through the Habitat for Humanity
project. However, our senior leadership was none more evident than how
our senior class and entire student
body relied on each other to supply
comfort and hope in the tragic loss
of senior classmate Ted Woolman.
Often our students teach us more than
we could ever teach them. Their demonstration of caring about their fallen
classmate, Ted, his family and the
impact it may have had on their current classmates was a true reflection of
their theme “The One”. It was a lesson we learned from this senior class
that will help us in other challenges
ahead. Forbes magazine founder B.C.
Forbes said, “History has demon-
strated that the most notable winners
usually encountered heart breaking
obstacles before they triumphed.
They won because they refused to
become discouraged by their defeats.”
The Class of 2013 is a perfect example
of possessing this triumphant spirit.
Nationally, during this school year
our country endured the senseless
shootings at Sandy Hook that created
a feeling of vulnerability for many of
our schools. In our Cascia community
we lost one of our heroes this school
year with the passing of Augustinian
Fr. Ted Tack. Our community also
endured the much too early loss of
two graduates from the Class of 2010,
John Baluh and Rachel Swetnam.
Yet despite our challenges, we know
all is well because of our faith. Below
you see a great illustration of this
hope. Clay Algeo ’07 captured
this picture May 19th just outside
Edmond. Though dark clouds and a
tornado may be on the horizon, the
cross in the foreground reminds us
Who we are to rely on no matter what
the challenge.
My prayer for the Class of 2013 is
first, a prayer of gratitude for your
leadership and secondly, a hope for
each of you to rely on your faith as you
face the obstacles and challenges that
life brings.
God’s Peace,
Roger Carter
Headmaster

into the glory of God. Dear Cascia Community:
T
he theme of Mass on the first
two Sundays after the end of this
past school year
was unity as we
celebrated two
Solemnities: the
Most Holy Trinity
and the Most Holy
Body and Blood of
Christ.
God is the perfect
model of community. The mystery
that is the Holy Trinity is a mystery of
relationship. In the early Church there
was a great deal of discussion – and,
yes, disagreement – over the exact
relationship of Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. In short, Jesus, the Son, is God
in visible form and the Holy Spirit is
Jesus’ way of staying with us until the
end of time. One person of the Trinity
became human for us. In the Last
Supper discourse in John’s Gospel,
Jesus prays: “I pray not only for them,
but also for those who will believe in
me through their word,” [that’s for
us] “so that they may be one, as you,
Father are in me and I in you, that they
also may be in us.” (John 17: 20-21).
The mystery at the heart of human
life is discovered in our relationships.
God in Christianity is a supernatural
mystery. God exists in relationship as
Trinity and God exists in relationship
with humanity, telling us through our
very creation that God wants our lives
together to continue for ever. In perfect
unity, the Trinity, three persons in one
nature, reveals the mystery of perfect
relationship: giving of oneself perfectly
for the other, in order to bring all of us
Unraveling the mystery only draws us
deeper into it. We struggle to express
it. So, too, did St. Augustine. There
is a legend that when Augustine was
writing his work The Trinity he went
to the shores of the Mediterranean to
reflect. He saw a young boy digging
a hole in the sand, then walking to
the sea and taking a pail of water to
the hole and pouring it into the hole.
Over and over again, the boy did this.
Finally, Augustine went to the boy and
asked him what he was doing. “I’m
going to put that sea into this hole,”
the boy said. “You’ll never be able to do
that,” Augustine said. The boy looked
at Augustine and said, “I will sooner
put that sea into this hole than you will
explain the Trinity.” With that the boy
suddenly vanished. The story is probably apocryphal, or doubtful. But after
67 chapters of theological reflection in
15 books, the only way that Augustine
could end his work was with a prayer
that God will give him the strength to
continue to seek to understand God.
“I pray not only for them, but also
for those who will believe in me
through their word,” [that’s for us]
“so that they may be one, as you,
Father are in me and I in you, that
they also may be in us.” (John 17:
20-21).
We can be certain that the model of
love that Jesus showed to us in revealing God’s love for us and his giving of
the Spirit to remain with us to guide us
in living in relationship with others is
inexplicable. Yet it is what guides us as
we journey through life.
The Solemnity of the Body and Blood
of Christ also speaks to us of unity.
Augustine saw the Eucharist as a
sign of unity. For Augustine, celebration of the Eucharist enables us to
enter into Christ’s perfect offering of
himself to the Father. By consuming
the sacramental Body of Christ, we
are formed into the ecclesial Body of
Christ. In Sermon 57 he says “(it is) by
being digested in his body and turned
into his members we may be what we
receive. … Be what you can see and
receive what you are.” In Sermon228B
Augustine says: “Just as (the Body
and Blood of Christ) turns into you
when you eat and drink it, so you for
your part turn into the body of Christ
when you live devout and obedient
lives. … So then, having life in him,
you will be one flesh with him. This
sacrament, after all, doesn’t present you
with the body of Christ in such a way
as to divide you from it. … So you are
beginning to receive what you also have
begun to be.”
This, too, is mystery. The Body and
Blood of Christ that we receive in the
Eucharist unite us with the Lord and
with one another. And so we are called
to be Christ for one another by sacrificing our lives for others and by helping
and serving others through our words
and even more so by our actions.
Mystery means something that is unexplainable. Mystery means something
that we ponder and keep unraveling.
Mystery means something that we
strive to understand. The mystery
of the Trinity and the mystery of
human relationship are tied together.
The mystery of the Body and Blood
of Christ is one of unity with God in
Christ and with one another in relationship. “Ah, sweet mystery of life!”
Something to ponder this summer.
Have a blessed, happy, and relaxing
summer. Happy travels.
In Christ and Augustine,
Rev. John J. Sotak, O.S.A.
Director of Augustinian Mission

Planning to Make a Difference for Cascia Hall
Membership in Cascia’s legacy group,
The 1926 Guild, has grown by 24%
this year! One of the newest members
of The 1926 Guild is Bill Leighty. He
writes, “Thanks so much to Cascia
Hall and all of those who partnered
with you to provide Financial and
Estate Planning Services. For years,
Bonnie and I had planned to update
our Last Will and Testament and do
some estate planning but for various
reasons never took the initiative to get
it done. From beginning to end we
were very favorably impressed with the
degree of professionalism and respect
provided to us by our estate planning
professionals. Our entire family gained
peace of mind knowing that our children would be well prepared to manage
our estate upon our death. All of our
posthumous financial goals are now
clearly stated in writing; and we were
able to make provisions for some modest philanthropic gifts to support some
of the institutions we know and love.
Thanks again for helping make this
long sought after goal a reality.”
We are grateful to all those who have
named Cascia Hall as a beneficiary in
their estate plans.

Planning for Your Family and Cascia Hall
Perhaps a better term for estate planning is “life planning” or even “in-caseof-emergency planning.” Effective planning takes time and patience. Everyone
desires to do planning, no matter their
season of life, but most estimates show
that less than half of all Americans
have a will.
Planning is the bridge to merge your
needs, map your opportunities, and
complete your legal paperwork.
Through planning you can know that
you have provided yourself the best
opportunities with the greatest amount
of flexibility.
The planning process is a collaboration
of several documents that accomplish
specific tasks. Below are a few of the
tools that are used in the planning process:
Will - simple legal document expressing a person’s desired distribution of
their assets;
Trust - fiduciary relationship in which
one person is the holder of the title to
property , subject to an equitable obligation to keep or use the property for
the benefit of another;
Advanced Medical Directive (Living
Will) - legal document expressing an
individual’s last wishes regarding life
sustaining treatment; and
Power of Attorney - legal document
that authorizes an agent to act on a
person’s behalf.
To find a charitable gift that best
meets your family’s needs and supports
Cascia Hall for years to come, you
need a plan—and we’re here to help!
There is no cost or obligation for using
Cascia’s Planned Giving Department.
If you would like to learn more about
these tools and how to complete your
plan, please contact Kerry Hornibrook
at (918) 746-2614, khornibrook@casciahall.org or Carol McMahon at (918)

A LETTER FROM THE
For the Love of
God and All His
Children…the
story continues
X Fr. Bernie Scianna served as Cascia’s
Headmaster from 1997 - 2010. He is
currently the Prior Provincial of the
Province of Our Mother of Good Counsel
which includes schools and parishes in
the United States and Canada as well as
missions in Peru.
Hello again. Finally our spring
and the beginning of warmer
weather are upon us. I am looking
forward to a great summertime. I
hope that you are as well. I am
delighted to share some good news
about our wonderful Provincewide Augustinian family. Thank
you for permitting me to share
some good news and developments
regarding our Augustinian Family.
Vocations – We continue to
see interest in exploring a vocation as an Augustinian. Those
expressing interest are bright, joyful and caring young men. They
are attracted by our Augustinian
charism and the teachings of St.
Augustine, by our commitment to
living in real community, and by
our work in education and parishes. We have 11 men in some
level of formation now. On June
8, Deacon Robert Basler, O.S.A.
and Deacon Homero Sanchez, O.S.A.
were ordained priests. Bishop Dan
Turley, O.S.A., a Mendel High School
graduate and Bishop of the Diocese of
Chulucanas, Peru will preside.
Retired and Infirm Augustinians
– Many of our retired and infirm
Augustinians are now in a new facility
at St. Anthony Home in Crown Point,
Indiana, while some have remained at
Franciscan Village in Lemont, Illinois.
Both places are about an hour from
the Province offices. Ultimately most
Augustinians who cannot (for physical care reasons) be sustained in one of
our Friaries will be cared for in community at Crown Point. I make sure
to stop by both locations at least once
a month to have Mass, visit with them
and share a meal. However, Fr. John
Gaffney, O.S.A., who lived and taught
at Cascia Hall for most of his life, is
now at Montereau. If you would like
to visit or write, Fr. Gaffney can be
reached at 6800 S Granite Avenue /
Tulsa, OK 74136.
Peruvian Missions – All is well in our
missions. We are well into a year-long
celebration of our 50th year of service
to the rural poor of northern Peru.
The Province Advancement Director
Michael Gerrity, his wife Liz Gerrity,
and Michael’s associate, Patrick
Murphy, are planning a visit to Peru in
mid September. If you are interested
in joining them please contact Michael
or Patrick at 773-595-4008.
Province 2013 Inaugural Gala –We
are very grateful for the support for
the Gala from Cascia Hall. The event,
held on Friday, April 26, at the Hyatt
Regency in downtown Chicago, drew
460 people and raised over $100,000
for the Province. The proceeds help
support our retired Augustinians, our
new vocations and men in formation,
and our missions in northern Peru.
We need to raise one million dollars
a year for these ministries and 10%
came from this Gala. It was a fantastic
display of the wonderful spirit and
great diversity of our Province-wide
family. People came from 13 states
and five countries to help us recognize our three honorees: Bishop
John McNabb, O.S.A., Bishop
Dan Turley, O.S.A., and our Prior
General Fr. Robert Prevost, O.S.A.
Province Campaign On Deck –
There is a strong possibility that the
Province will soon launch a multimillion dollar campaign to build up
its reserves in two major trusts: (1)
the Journey of a Lifetime Trust for
our retired and infirm Augustinians
and (2) the Fr. Ray Ryan, O.S.A.
Trust for vocations and men in formation. The need in these two key
areas is pressing and clear.
Have a wonderful summer – As
always, I conclude by encouraging you to use your gifts to the
utmost for your own well-being,
for the school community, for the
Augustinians, and for the Church.
Let each of us never be content that
our work is done or that something
else good cannot be done. Also I
pray that you will take some time to
relax, to break away from your daily
duties and burdens, and to refresh
yourself in spirit, mind, and body.
That is as important as anything you
do. Thanks again for your support
and for your prayers. If you have
any questions, ideas, or comments
about our efforts, send them to me
or to my Advancement Director
Michael Gerrity (773-595-4035 or
michael@midwestaugustinians.org).
Please count on my prayers. Mary,
Our Mother of Good Counsel, pray
for us.
Yours in Christ and St. Augustine,
Very Rev. Bernard C. Scianna,
O.S.A., Ph.D., Prior Provincial
Province of Our Mother of Good
Counsel

CASCIA HALL PARENT FACULTY ASSOCIATION
Dear Cascia Hall Community,
W
ell, summer is finally here! We have experienced another spectacular graduation at St. Rita Chapel, which has to be one of
the most beautiful graduations in Tulsa! The red roses that adorn the
Chapel are always absolutely gorgeous and make for such a special evening. Congratulations to all the graduates and award winners!
Spring was a very busy time around the school for the CPFA volunteers. First, I would like to thank Robin Cargile and Cindy Marshall
for a very fun and successful Celebrate Cascia. Everyone looked great
in Great Gatsby attire and it was the most successful Celebrate Cascia
in history! Their committee worked many hours to put on the event.
I would like to give a special thanks to Christy Carter and Tammy
Hern for chairing the Patrons this year. Dianne Henderson did an
outstanding job gathering live auction items for this year’s auction as
well as Shea Roach and Theresa Peters and their committee for collecting online and silent auction items. This year’s Celebrate Cascia
included the “Pearls of Wisdom” which raised over $15,000 in scholarship funds. Other committee members doing an outstanding job
were Chris Lambert, Margaret Ferrell, Jill Powers, Heather Duncan,
Melissa Phenicie, Lee Taylor, Corey Elias, Jamie Wilson, Catherine
Hickman, Donna Merrifield and Nikki Rhoades.
I would like to thank my Executive Board for arranging the reception for the New Student/Parent Orientation in April. Many thanks
also go to Mary Sokolosky and Sadie Fuller for hosting the Teachers
Appreciation Spring Luncheon in April. To wrap up other CPFA
events, I would like to thank Cathy McClanahan for the 8th Grade
Recognition reception, Kimberly Martindale and Wyn Dee Baker for
hosting the Scholastic Recognition receptions and Laura Dennis for
the graduation reception. CPFA supports several senior activities as
well. Many thanks to Teresa Butler and Janice McKee for organizing
the Road Rally and Mary Sokolosky for chairing the senior graduation
all night party. Mary Eck and Catherine Hickman did a fabulous job
chairing the Baccalaureate Dinner and coordinating a large group of
junior class volunteers to act as hosts. This Cascia tradition is certainly
a highlight for the graduates and their families.
Finally, as I wrap up my year as CPFA president, I truly feel blessed
to have had this opportunity to serve the Cascia Hall Community. I
would like to welcome Nikki Rhoades as the new CPFA president.
Please take a few minutes to complete and return the CPFA Volunteer
Form that she mailed to you in May. Please support her and the
upcoming CPFA Board to have another successful year!
Sincerely,
Ketrin Boone

TU Professor Visits AP English
Classes
Dr. Lars Engle is a TU professor who
specializes in Shakespeare. He was
invited by Mrs. Cathy Luccock to
return to Cascia Hall to, once again,
speak to her AP Literature and AP
Language students.
Dr. Engle spoke on Hamlet who was
a teenager with authority issues. He
engaged the students in a question
and answer session about the play.
Although the tragedy was written in
the 17th century, Hamlet is considered
a uniquely contemporary play because
it addresses personal, political, and
family issues that the modern world is
still facing.
V TU Professor, Dr. Lars Engle, shared
insights on the play Hamlet with AP English
students.

Students Attend SAVI at Malvern Prep
by Kayley Anthamatten
WEight sophomores
attended the Student
Augustinian Values
Institute (SAVI) in
April at Malvern Prep,
a sister school in
Philadelphia. L to R:
Preslea Borin, Connolly
Rizley, Annie Jordan,
Michael Bloomfield,
Margaret Fuller,
Emma Owens, and
Kayley Anthamatten.
The students were
accompanied by Mrs.
Debbie Coleman (Upper
School Guidance
Counselor) and Mr.
Adam Stoermer
(Campus Minister). Not
Pictured: Field Daniel,
Debbie Coleman, and
Adam Stoermer.
In April, along with seven other
sophomores (Field Daniel, Emma
Owens, Connolly Rizley, Preslea
Borin, Michael Bloomfield, Annie
Jordan, and Margaret Fuller), I had
the wonderful opportunity of attending
Student Augustinian Values Institute
(SAVI). This year, SAVI was held
at Malvern Preparatory School in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
SAVI is a conference where high
school students from Augustinian
schools all over North America, from
California to Canada, come to talk
about our shared core values: Veritas,
Unitas, Caritas (Truth, Unity and
Love).
This year was the fourth annual SAVI!
It was so much fun, we had the chance
to meet a lot of different people from
Augustinian high schools, and share
Congratulations to Jacob
Edens (Class of 2013), and
Luke Kingsley (Class of
2014) for earning their Eagle
Scout Awards.
what it means to have the same core
values. While we were at SAVI, we
had the opportunity to spend the day
with first graders from an inner city
school. We played games and participated in different activities, from petting animals at a petting zoo to painting faces with face paint. (I was lucky
enough to have my whole face covered
in paint, graciously done by my first
grade buddy, Sinai!) One day during
SAVI we explored Pennsylvania and
attended a Union vs. Toronto FC soccer game.
Besides spending the day with first
graders, one of the best parts of SAVI,
was on the last day when all the schools
gathered for Mass to start the day.
This really showed one of our core values, Unity.
SAVI was a great opportunity to better
our understanding of the core values
as Augustinian students. I learned so
much at SAVI, and I know, everyone
who went would agree that the time
together not only strengthened our
views of the Core Values, but also
strengthened us as Augustinian leaders.
Congratulations to Seth Xie (Class
of 2014) who was chosen for the
Youth Leadership Oklahoma Class
XIII. A class is selected each year
through a competitive process
based on proven leadership and
geographic, ethnic, and cultural
diversity.
“Mix it Up” Model School from page 14
Law Center’s Teaching Tolerance
Director, Maureen Costello.
Celebrated nationally every October
for more than a decade, “Mix It Up”
at Lunch Day has provided students
with an opportunity to move out of
their comfort zones and connect with
someone new over lunch. It’s a simple
act with profound implications as studies have shown that interactions across
group lines can help reduce prejudice.
Many schools plan activities for the
entire day, week or year. Last year,
more than 3,000 schools participated.
The “Mix It Up” Model Schools met
five criteria: They each hosted a “Mix
it Up” at Lunch Day in 2012 or 2013;
they included different members of the
school’s community – cafeteria staff,
aides, administrators, teachers or students – in organizing the event; they
followed up with at least two additional
“Mix It Up” related programs or events
on campus; they publicized “Mix It
Up” at Lunch Day or celebrated inclusiveness with posters, announcements
and other media; and their event was
seen by students and school officials as
a success.
The Cascia Hall Acceptance and
Inclusion (CHAI) Club sponsored
week-long “Mix it Up” activities in
October, 2012 which included “Mix
It Up” at Lunch Day, Random Act of
Kindness Day, Bullying Awareness
Day, No Complaining Day, and
Philanthropy Day.

2012 EXPLORE Results
On the EXPLORE test taken by CH 8th graders in fall 2012,
96% scored at or above the College Readiness Benchmark
in at least one of the four subject areas. Of those students,
67% scored at or above the College Readiness Benchmark in
three subject areas and 34% scored at or above the College
Readiness Benchmark in all four subject areas.
A pre-ACT testing instrument, the EXPLORE is composed
of four sections, English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science.
All four sections have a highest score of 25, including the
composite score. EXPLORE College Readiness Benchmark
Scores were identified at grades 8 and 9 that reflected a strong
likelihood of students meeting the ACT benchmark scores by
the time they graduated from high school.
The ACT benchmark scores are based on the actual performance of ACT-tested students in first-year college courses
(Composition, Algebra, Social Sciences, and Biology). ACT
College Readiness Scores were established to correspond to
a 50 percent likelihood that students attaining these scores
would achieve a grade of B or better in these college courses.
X On the east side of the library is a bell tower with a statue of St.
Joseph on the outside wall. A Bell Ringing tradition was continued
for this year’s 8th graders. Each one took a turn ascending the spiral
staircase into the dark confines of the tower to pull the rope and
ring the bell once. The bell sounded exactly 71 times, signifying their
transition into a new phase of their lives.
Bell Ringing Tradition
Observed for 8th Graders
A new tradition was begun last year to recognize the 8th grade
students, their accomplishments and the significance of their
transition from middle school to high school. During the last
Tuesday Chapel service for the school year, all Middle students congregated in the breezeway and green space between
the classroom building and the library.
Fr. Roland Follmann offered prayers and presented a brief
homily about new phases of life. Mr. Jim Boatwright and Mrs.
Candy Coonfield led the singing of the Hymn to St. Rita and
the Cascia Alma Mater.
On the east side of the library is a bell tower. To signify their
departure, each transitioning 8th grader climbed the spiral
staircase and took a turn ringing the bell. The bell sounded 71
times.
The existing library was built in 1990 and named in honor of

nearly three decades; he was the Headmaster between 1965
and 1968. “When the new library was built, we wanted to
include a special architectural feature that carried the tower
theme from the rest of the campus,” said former Headmaster,
Fr. David Brecht. “We added the tower to the building design
and purchased a used bell that was imported from Europe.
When the library was dedicated by Bishop Eusebius Beltran,
there was a very special consecration of the bell in the ceremony,” he said.

stormed, drafted, and constructed the
canoe. After completion of the canoe,
we discovered that no other team was
participating in the regatta because
none had completed their canoes!
The Middle School Robotics Club is
a new program at Cascia Hall. It was
instituted on March 28, 2013, with six
enthusiastic members. During the first
meeting, we discussed club projects,
one of which was the Tulsa Alliance of
Engineers duct tape/cardboard regatta.
The six students met with the high
school Commandobots to get a better
understanding of what is involved in
robotics.
Although the team has not competed
this year, many skills were used in the
building of the canoe. We implemented
teamwork, cooperation, respect for
other’s ideas, perseverance, researching
skills, mathematical calculations, and
the construction of our calculations.
Though we brought differences of
opinion to the table, we worked as a
team to accomplish one common goal.
The Tulsa Alliance of Engineers
regatta was a competition that tested
creativity, cooperation, and engineering skills in the production of a canoe.
The evaluation of the canoe was based
on historical aspects, aesthetics, speed,
and technology. The canoe had to carry
one pilot. With this task ahead of us,

The enthusiasm of the club has
doubled its membership. We hope to

prepare for the First Lego League competition, “Nature’s Fury.” If you have
an interest in math, science, engineering, robotics, computer programing,
drafting, and working with intelligent
students who share a common interest,
the Robotics Club is the place for you.

The Cascia Hall boys’ tennis team secured its first 5A State
Championship title on May 11; this is the second year for
Cascia tennis to compete at the 5A level. This was a whole
team effort. They can credit their victory to a season of hard
work and dedication to each other. The team started to gel
when they won the Bixby Invitational in early April. The
boys felt confident in their abilities going into the State
Tournament after sweeping all divisions at the regional tournament. They knew it would not be easy and they would
have to play their best tennis.
Number one singles player, Austin Hoose ‘15, showed mental toughness and determination winning the state singles
title by defeating Nick Harvey of Heritage Hall. Austin
finished with a record of 26-6. Marko Tardio ‘15 had a solid
finish of third place at number two singles. His record was
17-3 for the season. Number one doubles, Luke Clawson
‘14 and Alec Powers ‘16, also known as the dream team,
finished second in the state tournament. Their finals match
was the most exciting and heart-wrenching match of the
tournament, losing 4-6, 6-4, 7-6. They had a season record
of 22-2. Their only other loss was to the 6A state champions

The Lost Ring
Dan Shyne from Bozeman, Montana
e-mailed Cascia in October, 2012 saying he had found a 1949 class ring from
Cascia Hall with the initials EEB. Jane
Easley, Assistant Director of Alumni,
searched the 1949 yearbook and found
one student with those initials, Edward
E. Barry. After a few google searches,
she came across Mr. Barry’s obituary. He had passed away in December
2011, and his wife predeceased him.
With a little more research, Easley
found the phone number of one of
the two daughters of Barry, Marijane
Bonowitz of Billings, Montana. She
contacted her and told her that her
father’s ring had been found. The
daughter was excited to hear about the
ring and mentioned that her father had
spoken fondly of his time at Cascia.
The ring was then mailed back to its
rightful owner. A few weeks later,
Shyne contacted Easley to say a friend
had noticed a Facebook posted by
Barry’s other daughter, Erica Feltner of
Waukesha, Wisconsin. It went something like this:
The phone rang. It was my sister.
“Remember Mom’s engagement
ring…?” Before I could answer, she
said, “I have it.”
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, sometime
between 1949 and 1952, my father
asked my mother to marry him. He
didn’t have the money for a traditional
diamond engagement ring, but he did
have a class ring. My dad paid a jeweler
to size the ring and set a tiny pearl in
the center. He presented the ring to my
mom, along with his marriage proposal.
My mother said yes. She wore the ring
throughout their engagement, although
she confessed to me years later she was
glad when she and my dad exchanged
plain gold wedding bands without
raised castles on them.
After the wedding, her engagement
ring was kept safe in her jewelry box,

coming out only now and then when
my sister and I “helped” our mother get
ready to go out. The jewelry box would
get emptied onto the bed. As we tried
on all the different pieces, mom would
tell us the story of how we became a
family. Every time she told the story it
ended the same way. That ring started
our family. She cherished the sincerity, sentiment and uniqueness of her
ring from Cascia Hall. She said she
wouldn’t trade it for the biggest diamond in the world.
In 1969 in Bozeman, Montana, I was
13. My mother gave me her engagement ring to keep. “It’s a family heirloom,” she explained. “Wear it, and
when you can’t wear it anymore, put
it away. When you have children,
tell them the story,” she said. “A ring
shouldn’t spend its whole life in a box.”
I was thrilled. A family heirloom!! It
never left my hand. I was so proud to
have it. I took very, very good care of
the family heirloom…right up until the
moment I lost it.
I was so ashamed. I confided in no one.
The secret would have to die with me.
I lost the family heirloom. My parents
could never, ever find out what I had
done.
I figured the ring would turn up.
Things I lose always turn up. I remembered having it at the City Pool at
Bogert Park, just after school let out for
summer. It was on my hand, and the
next thing I knew, it was gone. It must
have slipped off. I spent the rest of that
summer, eyes trained to the ground,
but never found it.
I never had to explain. My mother
never asked. It was assumed that I had

Robert G. Brown ‘51 passed away

of 80. He is survived by: his wife of
21 years, Carolyn Brown; daughter,

put it away. When my sister called to
say she had the ring I had to confess a
secret I had kept most of my life!
During the summer of 2012, Dan
Shyne and his city crew were replacing
a sidewalk at Bogert Park, when he saw
something shiny in the dirt. He dug
it up, took it home, cleaned it up and
discovered a 64-year-old class ring. He
could read the inscription, Cascia Hall,
Tulsa Okla, 1949. The initials EEB
were engraved on the inside. He called
Cascia Hall in Tulsa.
I received the ring in the mail last week.
The pearl is missing and some of the
detail has worn away. The band is
dented and a little out of round, but we
think it looks pretty terrific.
Thanks, Dan Shyne, for being one of
the good guys. I so appreciate you taking the time and effort to return the
ring to our family. You can’t know how
grateful we are and how your thoughtfulness has touched us. I wish my parents were here to hear the tale. They
wouldn’t believe it! Since it all ended
so well, they couldn’t be mad about
something that happened 44 years ago,
could they?
Mom, the ring WILL be living the
rest of its life in a box. My safe deposit
box. Oh, and I’d just like to say for the
record: This is proof. Things I lose
always turn up. Eventually.

Medal of Honor Recipient Visits Cascia Hall
W
hile visiting Tulsa on April
30, Medal of Honor recipient,
Clinton Romesha, stopped by Cascia
for a brief visit with faculty/staff and
students.
In his presentation, Retired Army
Staff Sgt. Romesha relayed how he and
fellow soldiers defended an outpost
in Afghanistan against an estimated
300 Taliban fighters; the Americans
were outnumbered approximately 5 1. Romesha was at Combat Outpost
Keating in the mountainous area
northeast of Kabul when his unit came
under heavy attack for about 12 hours.
It was one of the single bloodiest battles in the Afghan war.
Romesha was nominated for the Medal
of Honor, the nation’s highest honor,
by fellow soldiers who recognized his
heroic actions and credited him for
putting himself in harm’s way to save
lives and secure control of the outpost,
even after being wounded. Romesha
said he was just doing his job and took
the opportunity to give credit to his
comrades.
Romesha is one of four living Medal
of Honor recipients from the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan. Seventy
percent of the Medals of Honor (aka
Congressional Medal of Honor) are
awarded posthumously. There are currently 80 living recipients whose average age is 75.
Since receiving the Medal of Honor
from President Barack Obama on
February 11, 2013, Romesha has been
speaking at public events to share the
story of the bravery and sacrifice of
those who died in the wars. “I do this
to share their stories, so they are not
forgotten,” he said.
Many thanks to Mr. John Cary (father
of John Cary ‘05 and Chris Cary ‘09)
for arranging Sgt. Romesha’s visit to
Cascia Hall.
Y L to R: Students, faculty, and staff took
time after Sgt. Romesah’s presentation to
have their picture made with the Medal of
Honor recipient. L to R: Shawn Gammill,
Thomas Perrault, Terry Hogan, Joe Estep,
Adam Stoermer, Jennifer Pace, Sgt. Clint
Romesha, Ginger Day, Roger Carter and John
Cary.
