La Salle College High School – The Belcroft September 2012 3
Dear Parents and Guardians,
May is the time of the year when we see the seeds of our Lasallian “broad and balanced, human and Christian education” bear fruit. The accomplishments of the prior months all the way back to the opening of school in August create hopes, possibilities, and expectations for students and teachers that lead us to build one day upon another and each victory upon a previous effort. It almost goes without saying that at La Salle, the days and months are fast-paced. The fast pace comes from the daily hard work and efforts of our teachers at La Salle who are, indeed, “always on,” whether in classroom, lab, studio, stage, field or gym.
We recently inducted seventy-two new members of the De La Salle Chapter of the National Honor Society. The NHS Induction celebrates achievements of Character, Scholarship, Leadership and Service. I think it most especially celebrates both dedication and hard work on a daily basis. By the draw of the school calendar, this event falls within the time after Easter where the universal church looks to Pentecost. The Holy Spirit was central to the spirituality of St. La Salle. In his Forty-Third Meditation, he speaks of “the fullness of the Spirit of God,” the divine being to whom we look to get us through the hard work of the day and the hard work of the school year. In that same Spirit, congratulations to our NHS students, their parents and their teachers!
May 15, 2013 this year marks not only the Feast of the Ascension but in the Lasallian world the Feast of Saint John Baptist De La Salle as well. In our celebration of the Mass that day, the Brothers renew their vows and all of us will renew our dedication to the ideals of this tradition. As a La Salle College High School community, we will celebrate the 33-year career of Gerald Miller, Chair of the Social Studies Department at La Salle and our Lasallian Educator of the Year. For many, their memory of Mr. Miller naturally trends toward his ground-breaking work at La Salle and across a national community of educators in fostering critical thinking and action about the Vietnam conflict in American History. For those of us at La Salle today, we salute his own persistence and dedication over nearly 6,000 days—hard to believe!—in the classrooms, fields, and swimming decks of La Salle. Cheers to La Salle’s own Gerry Miller!
Cheers also to our Music Program and the Competition Band for winning the top award in the Calvacade of Bands and for a spectacular performance at a recent Independent Schools Competition held at Episcopal Academy. Congratulations as well to Brian LaGreca ’13 who received First Place/Ceramics and the entire group of eleven La Salle students for their work at the Archdiocesan Student Art Exhibition at La Salle University.
Going forward, we will concentrate even more directly and extensively on the spirit of our Lasallian community. The 2013-2014 school calendar (summary version on LS website) includes expanded orientation sessions for the Class of
2017 as well as for current La Salle juniors, sophomores and freshmen. In line with our own strategic emphasis on Lasallian identity and with practices current in many private college prep schools, we will have a half day program of two hours each for upperclassmen on Thursday, August 29. For the incoming class of ninth graders in the Class of 2017, the orientation program will take place on two days, a schedule school rules and regs, and community-building activities on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 (2:00 – 7:00 PM, note new time) followed by a full-day retreat program on Wednesday, August 28, 2013. All orientation days will also include the individual student photo sessions. These minor revisions in the school schedule will foster an even stronger sense of academic and instructional continuity right from the start of full days of classes after Labor Day.
At the other end of school life, the month ahead brings spring sports, our festival of the arts, national forensics competition, AP and regular exams, proms, and the significant and deserving recognitions of this outstanding Class of 2013 at graduation. Mr. Fyke and I will re-emphasize to our juniors and seniors the importance of good judgment and safety in this final month. We know we can count on our La Salle parents to do likewise.
On a personal basis, I would like to thank our dedicated faculty and staff, the entire student body, and all of the parents, guardians, grandparents and alums who make up this great community for making my own return to La Salle both smooth and fulfilling. A special recognition to the current senior class for outstanding achievement and thorough cooperation and enthusiasm. The more I have gotten re-acquainted with La Salle, the more I realize just how remarkable a place this is. Thank you all!
Sincerely,

2013-2014 Registration UpdateThe course selection process unofficially came to a close when students returned from Easter break. Most recently, each returning student submitted their “parent sign-off sheet” to their counselors. This form served as verification of their course requests. If there are questions about your son’s placements, particularly in math, science, or music, students and/or their parents must contact the appropriate department chairperson as soon as possible. Now that selections are complete, the scheduling process moves forward at warp speed. Resources are currently being secured based on our confirmation numbers. Building the master schedule and rostering students is an arduous process that will take a few months to complete. Your help in respecting La Salle’s course request deadlines and protocol is always appreciated. Eventually each student will first receive his official schedule for the 2013-2014 academic year during early August.
Final ExamsFinal exams will begin on Monday, May 20, 2013 and conclude on Friday, May 24, 2013. A detailed examination schedule will be posted during early May both in school and on La Salle’s website. Students are expected to be in attendance for their exams at the designated times. Please remember that a family vacation does not qualify as an excused absence. Unexcused absences during midterm or final examinations are strictly prohibited. Encourage your son to begin the process of preparation.
GraduationLa Salle College High School’s 150th commencement will be held on Saturday, June 1, 2013 beginning at 10:00 am in the school gymnasium. The Baccalaureate Mass, to be held at La Salle University in Philadelphia, is scheduled for Thursday evening, May 30, 2013 at 7:00 pm. Practice for these ceremonies will be held for all members of the class of 2013 on Thursday, May 30, 2013 at 9:30 am.
Final Report CardsFinal report cards will be mailed home to freshmen, sophomore, and junior students on Wednesday, May 29, 2013. Seniors will receive their final grade reports in homeroom before graduation practice on Thursday, May 30, 2013. Final grades for all students will also be available for viewing on My BackPack early Thursday evening. The entire faculty will be available on Monday, June 3, 2013, to take care of any issues regarding grades. If your son experiences a grading concern he should take care of it on or before June 3, 2013. You should also know that the faculty is scheduled to attend an end-of-year meeting between 9:30 and 12:30 am on Monday, June 3, 2013. If you request to meet with a teacher concerning a grade, please schedule it before or after this meeting time. Also, as indicated in the school calendar/handbook, there will be no grade changes of any kind after Friday June 7, 2013. Please be aware that teachers and counselors are not required to be at La Salle after June 3, 2013. Underclass academic honors will be awarded during a special assembly scheduled in the fall.
Jimmy Olsen ’16 Awarded 1st Place in Science ContestFreshman James Olsen recently competed in the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science (PJAS) and the Montgomery County Science Research Competition (MCSRC). At PJAS Jimmy received a First Place Award and qualified for the State Competition at Penn State University on May 12-4,2013. Jimmy competed at the MCSRC on March 22nd at Montgomery County Community College and he received a 2nd place award. That award qualified him for the Delaware Valley Science Fair (DVSF) where he most recently won an Honorable Mention Award. Jimmy competes in the category of biochemistry and his project is titled Heavy Metals Will Rock Your Protease. The abstract that follows was written by Jimmy and explains the nature and results of his current research project:
The main goal of this project is to identify the metal ion in the banana flower fruit that is inhibitory towards Bromelain. Bromelain is a Cysteine protease found in pineapple juice that hydrolyzes the collagen in gelatin. In previous years, the banana flower inhibitor was identified, titrated, and tested using various protocols. The data point towards it being a metal ion that is chelated by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Using various tests, I hope to identify what individual metal ion is inhibitory.
My hypothesis is that a metal ion that is able to be chelated by EDTA will inhibit Bromelain, and that it will be found using atomic absorption spectroscopy in the banana flower fruit.
In my first few experiments, sixteen different metal ion solutions were screened to see which one(s) inhibited Bromelain. The ones that did were aluminum, manganese, zinc, and copper, the latter being the most potent of the four. These inhibitors were then tested against EDTA for reversibility. Finally, atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the presence of these metals in the banana flower fruit itself.
In conclusion, my hypothesis appears to be correct; every one of the four inhibiting metals appears in the banana flower, and any one, or perhaps a combination of all four, are the metals that are inhibiting the Bromelain in pineapple juice.

The Philadelphia Inquirer spent eight hours observing Lehigh University’s selection process. The article can be found here:http://articles.philly.com/2013-04-01/news/38165511_1_admissions-placement-courses-high-school-students
Brother William DiPasquale, Mrs. Mary Kay Mullen, and Mr. Gerard M. Brett have been meeting with juniors once a cycle in the student advisory classes and personally about the college search process. Topics covered have been:
• Explanation of the college search and application process
• The Common Application
• Anatomy of an admission decision
• Transcript of all grades
• Information available at www.lschs.org/college
• Use of Naviance
• Selection of courses for senior year
• Reflection on experience at La Salle
• Self-survey for the college bound
• Creating a personal profile
• Activities resumes
• Letters of recommendation
• Writing an application essay
• Defining their ideal college
• Creating a college list
• College compare and contrast
• Learning from campus visits
• Types of applications
• College costs and financial aid
• Application process at La Salle
• Career information
Currently students are creating biographical, academic and activities profiles and are writing on topics of essays commonly required for college applications. The thoughtful completion of these assignments will help the student be prepared for the college application process. In order to earn a passing grade in Group Advisory, the Junior Questionnaire Part 1 and Part 2 must be completed in Naviance and turned in by the final class. Failure to complete assignments will result in summer remediation that includes a remediation fee.
The Senior Advisory Class will start in the fall and take the students, step-by-step, through the college application process in general and specifically how it works here at La Salle College High School.
Any student who has not yet visited a college campus is encouraged to do so over the summer. Written information about colleges is important, but nothing takes the place of a visit. Check out Chapter 5 “Learning from Campus Visits” in College Match, the book required for advisory class.
Increasing numbers of students are applying early in the fall and that has an impact on the timing of college visits and SAT/ACT examinations. These early deadlines can range from October 15th to November 15th. Check www.collegeboard.com and www.actstudent.org for testing dates. Also be aware of colleges’ requirements for SAT Subject Tests (www.lschs.org/college). Please note that the earliest date that your son should apply to college is September 1st. The application process at La Salle can be found on our website.
Thank you to the parents of juniors who took the time to complete the forms sent to you in January. If you have not yet returned the forms, please send them to the College Counseling Center. This information will help us counsel your sons by keeping your input in mind.
Check out the College Counseling pages on our website: www.lschs.org/college. The site contains a wealth of information.
One year from now your sons will have registered at a college or university. Their success depends on how well they have developed their talents during these past years and how much they invest themselves in the college search and application process. We encourage them to make good use of their time this summer and return in the fall prepared to make application to colleges on a timely basis.
The College Counselors follow the faculty schedule and are not in the office during the summer. We encourage your sons to see their college counselor with any questions or concerns before the end of the school year. If there is an issue that needs immediate attention during the summer please contact Mrs. Kathleen O’Connell, our Administrative Assistant, at (215) 402-4849 or [email protected]. Please keep in mind that there will be times when Mrs. O’Connell also will be on vacation.

Why La Salle?B Y J o A n n C o H e n , P H D
When Benjamin Franklin was dining in Paris, one of his fellow diners posed the question: “WHAT ConDiTion oF mAn
moST DeSerVeS PiTY?” Each guest proposed an example. When Franklin’s turn came, he offered, “A LoneSome
mAn on A rAinY DAY WHo DoeS noT knoW HoW To reAD.” Like John Baptiste de La Salle, Franklin believed
education was a key factor for success. Franklin organized the United States’ first lending library and founded the first
volunteer fire department. His scientific pursuits included investigations into electricity, mathematics and mapmaking. He
helped draft the Declaration of Independence and the U.S Constitution, and he assisted in negotiating the 1783 Treaty of
Paris which marked the end of the Revolutionary War. His list of inventions is extensive. They include bifocals, the odometer,
the long arm, swimming fins, the Franklin Stove and the lightning rod.
Education continues to play a crucial role in success. Today, students and their parents have various choices for schooling. It appears, superficially at least, that students who choose La Salle elect a difficult high school experience. They are required to wear dress shirts and ties. In each classroom there is a placard that reads: Boys will be boys but La Salle boys will be gentlemen. Yet, each year, substantial numbers of students take an entrance exam to compete for admission, and parents pay an appreciative amount of money for a high school education available for free to the public sector. On the whole, it appears that students and their parents have to be very brave and perhaps a little crazy to embark on this path. To add to this quandary, once one son attends La Salle, families tend to send other sons and future generations to LaSalle creating a legacy. Why?
Having been at La Salle for a number of years, this dilemma becomes easier to understand. Only a portion of the answer relates to academics, although a history of nearly 100% college admission and what was more than 30 million dollars in college scholarships and grants to last
year’s graduating class is typical. In spite of the numerous demands made on students, La Salle does have its perks.
La Salle College High School boasts of a completely wireless campus with a TV production and broadcast studio. Its music facilities include a choral room, practice rooms and a digital music lab. If you visit, you will find the campus warm and inviting. Students, faculty and staff are cordial to each other and generous and kind to the community volunteering countless hours to schools, hospitals and other service facilities. Additionally, students participate in national and international summer service opportunities.
At La Salle, there is an increased demand in all aspect of growth. Students are encouraged to examine their values and morals. They are expected to get a better handle on their needs and to work collaboratively with faculty to strengthen their abilities. They are challenged to develop a greater imagination, a wider knowledge base and a deeper sense of character.
The answer to why parents continue to send their sons to La Salle lies in a complex and somewhat inexplicable group of factors. La Salle offers a blend of tough love and unconditional acceptance. The extracurriculars are extraordinary. The forensics, lacrosse, track and field and swim teams at La Salle have received national acclaim. La Salle varsity teams hold an appreciative number of local titles. This competition encourages students to strive for excellence, yet accept the responsibility acclaim demands. La Salle’s dedicated faculty empowers students while lending a compassionate and a willing ear. They delicately prune and carefully encourage. For students who are faithful to the mission and who willingly participate in the process, growth is palatable.
Parents send their sons to La Salle generation after generation because they are sure of the value, excited at the experience, knowledgeable of the guidance and certain of the outcome.

Competition Band Awarded First Place at Cavalcade of Bands Jazz ChampionshipsThe La Salle College High School Competition Band finished in 1st Place at the 2013 Cavalcade of Bands Jazz Championships. Over fifty high school bands compete throughout the season with 35 bands divided into four divisions competing at the Cavalcade Championships.

The LIGHTS TeamThe LIGHTS Team, a Student Assistance Program (SAP), assists La Salle students as well as the families of those students, who face behavioral and/or academic difficulties. The team is comprised of specially-trained school faculty and staff, who meet weekly to discuss the needs of referred students.
The LIGHTS Team works to identify problems and seek out solutions. The LIGHTS Team does not diagnose or treat students. The LIGHTS team seeks out and collates information about referred students from a variety of sources, including parents, teachers, coaches, and the school nurse, and uses the information to determine suitable strategies for helping the students.
Families and LIGHTS: Partnership in AssistanceThe LIGHTS Team works together with the parents of academically or behaviorally troubled students. To that end, the LIGHTS Team contacts parents of referred students early in the process. In some cases, a student will require assistance which La Salle cannot provide. In these cases, the LIGHTS Team will work with parents to facilitate the process of accessing resources in the community.
Help Us Help Your SonThe goal of LIGHTS is to help referred students overcome their academic and behavioral difficulties. Ideally, parents and LIGHTS work together toward this goal by offering mutual respect and support, open channels of communication, awareness of the student’s strengths, and shared responsibility.
Student ReferralsA student may be referred to the LIGHTS Team in a number of ways.
A faculty or staff member may express his or her concerns regarding a student’s academic performance or behavior to a member of the LIGHTS Team.
A parent with similar concerns may refer his or her son to the LIGHTS Team.
A friend or classmate who is worried about a certain student may refer him to the LIGHTS Team for assistance.
A student may refer himself to the LIGHTS Team for assistance.
All information about referred students is kept strictly confidential.

Espejos y Ventanasby James Palmer ’14
On March 22, 2013, the two Spanish 4 Honors classes went on a trip to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania,
to learn about and meet members of the migrant Hispanic population living and working there. The
experience served as a conclusion to a unit the classes had done on immigration. During this discussion
the classes read a section of the book Espejos y Ventanas (Mirrors and Windows, compiled by Mark Lyons),
which tells the stories of several South American, Latin American, and Mexican immigrants to the United
States who left their lives of poverty for the promise of the American dream, and who eventually ended
up working at the mushroom farms of Kennett Square. In addition, the classes discussed several issues
regarding immigration, such as the reasons for, dangers of, and risks of attempting to cross the border into
America. With this background knowledge, we were prepared to gain a first-hand experience of how the
lives of these immigrants have changed as a result of traveling to America.
The trip was organized by Spanish teachers Señora Lastenia Breen and Señor Nicholas Coggins, who, with the help of Mr. Breen and Mrs. Coggins, chaperoned and led the excursion. The fantastic day they planned began with a stop at the San Rocco National Hispanic Church, a church that forms the cultural heart of the community of Hispanic immigrants in Kennett Square. We arrived at mid-morning, and after a warm greeting and brief recounting of the church’s recent founding from Father Frank Depman, we met three women of Hispanic descent who told us their stories. Francine, who spoke first, told us that she is a fourth-generation
American with Puerto Rican origins. She works with the church to assist recent immigrants to America who come to Kennett Square to find work and housing. After she spoke, Margarita, a Mexican immigrant whose story is featured in Espejos y Ventanas, spoke in Spanish to us about her entrance to the United States and the difficulties she faced trying to find work in a country whose language and culture she knew very little about. Finally, Gabriela told us her story. Brought here as a young girl by her Mexican mother, she was brought up in the public education system in Kennett Square and lived a very American childhood. However,
La Salle College High School – The Belcroft May 2013 11
as she got older she was unable to take part in typical teenage rights of passage such as obtaining a driver’s license because she was undocumented in the U.S. When she turned eighteen, she was no longer protected from the law by her age, and had to apply for temporary residence in the United States. Now in her early twenties, she is hoping to apply to college, but may be forced to return to Mexico because of an exception in the United States immigration laws (even though she has lived nearly her entire life here).
I was shocked to hear Gabriela’s story, and even more shocked later to hear that her siblings would not be affected by the same exception because they were born here in the U.S. rather than in Mexico. This young woman who has lived in America nearly her whole life, looks and sounds American — is American — may be sent back to Mexico, where she has no family and no cultural experience? The consequences of her situation seem very unfair to me.
After visiting the church, we made our way over to the Kaolin Mushroom Farm, one of the largest producers of mushrooms in the world. The two classes split up to tour different areas of the farm separately. Before the trip, I was expecting there to be fields of mushrooms, but apparently mushrooms are generally grown inside so that they can be more easily cared for and grown year-round (although I can testify that the odor can be still smelled outside for miles around). Señora Breen’s class went to view one of these indoor “fields” first, and it was like nothing I had ever seen before. The whole room was very dark and moist, and had several floors of raised beds containing the soil and the mushrooms (almost like an army barrack). To get up to the higher beds, there was a network of stairs and wooden plank-floors, many of which were filled with large gaping holes (which were treacherous to walk around). The mushrooms were incredible to see; hundreds of thousands of them lined the raised beds.
Overall, the impression I got was that it was a very cool place to tour, but not such a pleasant place to work. As we went around the room, we met several of the Hispanic workers, who were all very friendly and seemed content in their work. However, I could not help but wonder if they really were satisfied with their current position. Was this the life they had hoped to achieve when they made the dangerous journey to America? Was this what they had envisioned when they thought of the American dream? Was working half the day picking mushrooms in a dark, dank room worth leaving everything they owned behind, even if they received excellent pay? I think that for most of them, their answer is that as long as they receive a good salary and have the opportunity to set a foundation for a successful life, they will do whatever work they can find. And here, I find an issue that needs to be addressed. Undocumented immigrants, and especially undocumented Hispanic immigrants, are often the subjects of intense criticism. Yes, they came here illegally and that is a major problem; however, what most people fail to realize is that these are some of the hardest working people living in the United States. They are willing to do the hardest and least forgiving jobs in the country (such as working on a farm-factory like the Kaolin farm), and they do their work well and with a positive attitude. These immigrants perform services that most Americans would never even consider trying; they are essential to our economy and to the infrastructure of our country. Most importantly, they are fellow human beings, and I think that once Americans start looking at who these people are, why they came here, and how they have benefitted our society, they will understand the complexity of the immigration issue and realize that it is not a political issue but a human issue.
After our tour, we were given a presentation by a director of the farm about the history of the farm and how it functions present-day. (We were also given free packs of mushrooms!) One piece of information that I found very interesting was the history of the different ethnic groups that have been the predominant mushroom pickers throughout the farm’s history. In the farm’s early days (during the twenties), mainly white and African-American youth worked on the farm; then, throughout subsequent decades, predominance shifted to workers of Puerto Rican heritage and then to workers directly from Mexico. After our time at the farm, we finished the day off with a delicious lunch at a Mexican restaurant called Tapatia.
Thank you, Señora Breen and Señor Coggins, for giving us the opportunity to better understand the importance and complexity of the immigration issue. Our studies in school and our experience at Kennett Square helped all of us to grasp the importance of examining such issues at the human level; and, as a result, we will appreciate all the more the ways in which these humble and hardworking people have benefitted our lives.
La Salle College High School – The Belcroft May 2013 12
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As the school year comes to its end,
on behalf of the men and women
of the Board of Trustees I want
to thank you for another year of
commitment, passion, and support.
La Salle would not be what it is
without you.
I also want to commend our entire La Salle family on another year of dedication, excellence, and achievement. From our freshmen to our seniors, we continue to be graced with a body of young men who become transformed before our eyes and who have challenged themselves to define their goals and achieve them. Once again, in academic, athletic, and artistic endeavors, they have distinguished themselves on national as well as state, regional and local stages.
This past year, our new administrative leadership effected a transition that is as remarkable for its smoothness as for the innovations and achievements that it has already brought to our programs. And once again, our
faculty and staff have demonstrated the depth of their compassion for your sons and the breadth of their knowledge and teaching experience.
Over the course of the year I have the opportunity to talk with strangers and peers, as well as older alums, past parents and friends who ask about the state of our school and how La Salle manages to get stronger and more comprehensive with each school year.
At the same time, 2012-2013 has been a challenging year for primary and secondary education in our area and across our nation. School communities of all types are grappling with the full gamut of issues from school closings and funding problems to concerns about creating and maintaining safe environments for learning and development.
Obviously La Salle is not immune to these problems. Challenges will invariably crop up. However, in every instance the Mission of the School and the tradition of the Brothers of the Christian Schools provide the foundation for each solution. Dedicated trustees and administrators work to insure the fiscal and operational strength and the educational direction of the school now and for years to come. Committed parents/guardians and generous alumni and friends give lovingly of their treasure to fund the programs that are designed to educate the entire student. Committed faculty and staff serve as mentors and older brothers/sisters as well as teachers, directors, and coaches so that our students can learn life’s lessons in an extended family.
Why does La Salle get better each year? La Salle is an institution built on the tradition that began with our Founder and is kindled by the guidance of the Christian Brothers. We envision programs that teach the whole student and then create the environment to make that possible. We look at the world that our graduates will live in and cultivate
attitudes that are grounded in faith and strive for justice. We understand our students’ strengths and weakness and show them how to achieve their potential. Throughout all of this is the premise of acceptance, trust, responsibility, and expectation.
While the abundant and diverse championships and accolades earned in La Salle’s name over the past year signify the level of excellence to which we aspire, they don’t adequately define us. From the generations of alumni to the young men who are finishing their freshman year, there is a continuum of accomplishment, composure, humility, and empathy that mark the bond that makes us whole.
As in all families, people grow and situations change. Once again it is time to say goodbye to a distinguished class of men who have built on the legacy of their peers to make a permanent impression on La Salle. They entered La Salle to learn, and learn they did. They now leave La Salle to serve and we have every reason to believe that they will do so with leadership and distinction. On behalf of my fellow Trustees, we wish you success and happiness in all things.
We also bid farewell to those parents, guardians, and trustees who leave La Salle in June but who will not be forgotten. One last time, we thank you for all that you joyously brought to La Salle during your time here and wish you peace and happiness.
Sincerely yours,
Benjamin J. Ventresca, Jr. ’70 Chairman of the Board of Trustees

Dear La Salle Fathers and Families,
Since this is the last Belcroft magazine for this academic year, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their overwhelming support. I am humbled by the amount of time that you devote to the mission of the Men of La Salle. I am grateful for the support that I have received from all quarters of the La Salle community. The parents, faculty, administration, and students have all contributed to the success of our organization this year. I would like to personally thank my Executive Board members from this past year. They are Raymond Delaney, John Brady, Eric Fox, Jeff King, Chris Gay and Kevin Connor. A special thanks to Brother James Butler and Michael O’Toole for stepping in as acting Moderator with the unfortunate passing of our Brother James Rieck. These men supported me through every phase of my term as President.
Thanks again for the opportunity to help to guide this wonderful group of fathers for this past year. I look forward to lending my support in the coming years.
To all our fathers with graduating sons, thanks for being a part of the Men of La Salle, and I wish you and your sons continued success, and hope we created lasting memories! To the returning fathers, I look forward to seeing you around campus in the Fall.
Have a wonderful and safe summer.
Best Regards,
Michael Happ President

Father/Son Baseball OutingThe annual trip to Baltimore was a complete success. About eighty La Salle family and friends made the trip to Camden Yards to watch the Orioles host the Los Angeles Dodgers. After the game, the group was able to tour the Inner Harbor or grab a bite to eat. Ask anyone who attended for details from the day. Everyone had a great time! Thank you to Dave Lagner who, for the eleventh year, handled every detail of the day.
Face to Face (formally known as St. Vincent’s Soup Kitchen)
Every weekend through the end of the school year, the Men of La Salle continue our service to those less fortunate in our community, by helping to prepare and serve meals at Face to Face. The Soup Kitchen is located at 109 East Price Street, in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. This is a great opportunity for fathers and sons to spend some time together in service to the needy in our community, and strengthen the bond of father and son at the same time. We need volunteers to prepare food every Saturday and Sunday from 9:30 to 11:30 am, and to serve food the last Sunday of each month between 12:30 and 2:30 pm. No experience is necessary – just a desire to spend some time together and help others. Please go online to the Men of La Salle page and sign-up and make a difference.

Chivalry Is Not Deadby Christopher m. Carabello ’82
What do Sean Connery and Cary Grant have in common? They represent the quintessential gentleman. It’s what makes them so charming and beloved. They are gentlemen in every sense of the word. Although one might think they’re a staple of a bygone era, true gentlemen never go out of style. After all, “Boys Will Be Boys, but La Salle Boys Will Be Gentlemen.”
In light of our school motto, I took the liberty of providing some etiquette tips that may prove to be useful, particularly at the upcoming proms.
MEET THE PARENTSBe punctual.Perhaps the greatest sign of respect, which is what a gentleman is all about, is to be on time. Having people wait for you is the equivalent of telling them that you don’t care about them. Bringing a date home “on time” is equally as important as it shows respect for her curfew and rules.
Shake hands firmly and look the person “in the eye”.Your handshake should mirror your personality. You want the other person to think of you as someone resolved, stable, and positive; however, it shouldn’t be a test of your strength. In other words, don’t hurt them. Your grip should be the same for men and women. Most importantly, look the person in the eye as you shake their hand.
The name game.Hopefully, you know your date’s last name. In the event that you do not – learn it as well as how to pronounce it properly. Address her parents as Mr. and Mrs. (Dr. if applicable). Consider using the term “Sir” when speaking with her father. After all, your date’s father is already faced with the trauma of how his daughter is dressed. Couple that with having to spend an evening with you – the least that you can do is refer to him as “Sir.”
Smile for the camera.The photo may not be important to you, but it is for your date and her mother, who is more important than you can possible imagine. Make certain that your date gets copies of any photos. Again, it is important for her mother.
LADIES FIRSTAlways open doors.This is perhaps the most basic rule of all male etiquette. It is also the one of the easiest to follow, so you have no reason to forget it. Whether she is about to enter your car, the restaurant, or anyplace with a door, you should always hold it open. If there are many doors, then hold them open one after the other.
Help her with her coat.Always help a woman put on her coat or wrap. This is a simple, but powerful action.
Help with her seat.Help a woman be seated by pulling her chair out for her and gently putting it back into place – with her seated of course. Do not sit until she is seated.
Ask if she needs anything and never abandon her.This is one that most guys already do, but it helps complete the gentleman in all of us. Make sure to ask your date if you can get her something to drink (or eat, depending on the situation). Show her that you care about her. Most importantly, never abandon her in favor of your friends or another activity.
GENERAL RULESApply constant verbal grace.Use “excuse me” or “I beg your pardon” for all occasions. You should always use these expressions as an extension of politeness, whether it’s to get someone to move out of your way, to apologize for getting up to go to the men’s room, or to simply signal that you’re about to start a sentence.
Focus on the person with whom you are conversing and do not interrupt.Your attention should always be focused on the person with whom you are talking. Always look at them when listening as well as when you are in control of the conversation. Let people finish what they are saying before adding your comments. Interrupting others is a sign of poor etiquette and a lack of social skills. Again, it’s a question of respect and men who constantly interrupt, come across as egotistical.
Wait for seating before eating.When sitting down for a meal, you should wait until all the guests are properly seated and ready to commence the meal before eating. Everyone should start dining at the same time – this is a subtle but very important rule.

There are two choices that they may make. The first is the Kairos retreat program. Kairos is a four-day, three-night retreat at Diamond Ridge Retreat Center in Jamison, PA. The seniors leave for the retreat after school on a Tuesday and return Friday early evening. The six dates for Kairos are as follows:
kairos 37-93 October 1-4, 2013
kairos 37-94 November 5-8, 2013
kairos 37-95 December 10-13, 2013
kairos 37-96 January 28-31, 2014
kairos 37-97 March 4-7, 2014
kairos 37-98 April 8-11, 2014
The other option is the one-day retreat. This retreat is a one-day retreat that takes place off campus during the first semester. The seniors leave after homeroom and return to La Salle by 2:15 pm.
We ask you to please discuss these options with your son. As spelled out in the school calendar, it is a graduation requirement that every senior makes one of these school-sponsored retreats. Also your son should consider any sports, activities, college visits, competitions, or family vacations when they consider a date for Kairos. We will try our best to comply with the selection your son makes for his retreat date. By the end of May, the lists will be posted outside Campus Ministry and the Student Affairs Office, as well as posted on the school’s web site.

Distance Medley Relay Team Wins Championship of America at the Penn RelaysThe Distance Medley Relay team of Andrew Stone ‘13, Levi Hardy ‘14, Jack Magee ‘13, and Tom Coyle ‘13 won the Penn Relays Championship of America on Friday, April 26, 2013 at historic Franklin Field. In the greatest relay race in La Salle’s history, the foursome ran the fastest winning time at Penn Relays since 2005, the second fastest time in America US this year, and what is believed to be the second fastest Distance Medley Relay (DMR) time by any Pennsylvania high school ever.
The race began in excellent fashion with senior Andrew Stone leading off a distance relay for the fourth year in a row. Andrew followed the blistering early pace through a 58 second opening 400. He positioned himself perfectly and followed the leaders through the 800m in 2:01. On his final lap Andrew gamely moved up and closed well to hand the baton to junior Levi Hardy in 4th position, having run a personal best for the 1200m leg of 3:04.7.
Levi then ran a personal best himself tuning in a great 50.5 split for his 400m leg to keep the Explorers in the 4th position and in contact with the early leaders, Northport (NY), Christian Brothers Academy (NJ), and Cardinal O’Hara. Levi handed off to senior Jack Magee for the 800m leg. Jack ran a smart and savvy, carefully biding his time. By the time Jack reached 400m he had closed the gap on the lead pack of three and ran hard over his final lap to close out a clutch 1:55.8 leg and give the baton to senior anchor Tom Coyle in great position.
Tom patiently worked to close the gap on the lead pack and by the time he reached about 500m into his leg (opening 400 of 62
seconds) he had caught the anchors from Northport, CBA, and O’Hara. Tom wisely sat behind those three through an 800m split of 2:09, and then a 1200m split of 3:12. As the pack approached the bell lap the anchor from Northport made a bid for the lead and began to push the pace. Tom was the first to respond and followed right behind him. The pace accelerated down the back stretch, but Tom remained relaxed and positioned himself outside lane one, in order to make one final move. As Tom followed the Northport anchor into the final turn he unleashed his kick and moved into first as just 120m remained. As the crowd rose to its feet, Tom drove hard all the way to the line and closed out his final 400m in 61 seconds to cap a 4:13.9 1600m split which finished a 10:04.93 team time and captured the incredibly prestigious Championship of America title!
Not only is this the first Championship of America (COA) title in La Salle’s history, but it is also the first COA title by any Philadelphia Catholic League (PCL) boys program at the Penn Relays in the long and storied history.
