Marking Your Own Milestone at St. John’sThis year’s senior class soared at Commencement like eagles in full flight, as two reunion classes returned to celebrate milestones of their own. These generations coming together was a powerful reminder of the legacy we share at St. John’s.

The Class of 2011 marked their legacy with community-changing service projects, technology applied in ways never dreamed of a century ago, unparalleled athletic excellence, a spirituality elevated

by personal religious journeys, and academic records that earned them access to the best postsecondary institutions in the country.

The Classes of 1986 and 1961 marked their 25th and 50th reunions during Commencement weekend by gathering, praying and remembering their own lessons and stories of campus life. Their spirit reflected the joy of the Class of 2011 and confirmed that life as a Prep graduate is a lifelong experience. The reunion classes left us with a clear lesson for our milestones book: a Prep education is not about a four-year

experience, nor is it about success in college. The Prep experience is the pre-cursor to your life; it is a foundation for your values, a blueprint for your success, a core for your spiritual journey, and a primer for life.

My wife, Mj, and I marked our own milestone as we completed a decade of service to the Prep community and committed ourselves to continued service. Like our graduates, we stand forever thankful to the Prep, and forever committed to all things Eagle for the remainder of our lives.

As your Prep journey continues, we challenge you to leave your own mark, to post your personal milestones here on this little hill in Danvers. Is this the year that:n Your milestone is your son’s academic achievement award?n Your milestone is the volunteer post you promised you would take in the Parent Council?

n Your milestone is a gift to support the Prep’s tuition assistance, academic, athletic or co-curricular programs?n Your milestone is a gift of your time to a Prep service activity?n You define, build and pass a milestone that we have not yet imagined?

You get it. We have 175 acres and more than a century of history that invite your celebration of past markers and new milestones.

Carve your legacy out of the granite at Spring and Summer streets and allow it to become the foundation for all that you do and all that you become.

Eagles and their families are always welcome home. We love the milestones that you share with us. Each one defines another great day of being an Eagle!

Three of a KindThe youngest of three brothers to receive the Xaverian award at St. John’s, Ryan Lane carved his own path at the Prep with a wry sense of humor, a big heart and a ready willingness to contribute to school life in a host of ways. “Although one of the leaders of his class, Ryan was a social chameleon, just as comfortable sitting in the caf with a group of freshmen as he was socializing with his own classmates,” says English teacher Jay Pawlyk ’91. The highest honor given to a graduating senior, the Xaverian Award recognizes the student who best epitomizes the values and mission of Xaverian education. Lane will attend Emmanuel College in September.Pictured: Ryan Lane ’11 flanked by his brothers Chris ’05 (left) and Patrick ’09.

Turning PointsCommencement 2011 marked a turning point for Bill Boyle, who taught math at St. John’s for 32 years. While he won’t be in the classroom next year, happily, he will be back to coach the cross country and track teams. “Bill has made us better for knowing him. His kindness and dedication in the classroom is equaled only by his kindness and dedication as a coach,” said Math Department Chair Jody Meyer. In another milestone for the Prep, russell Smart of the Facilities Department retired in June. An accomplished violinist and gourmet chef, he shared these talents with the Prep community for 25 years.

Student ScholarsValedictorian James Bothwick immersed himself in everything St. John’s had to offer, but it was his experiences on a service trip to Ecuador that transformed his worldview, he told his classmates at Commencement. Playing soccer with local children in Duran, he felt “just as comfortable playing the game I love on that dirt road as on the turf fields at the Prep… This discovery allowed us to connect on a personal level, causing me to view them as real people, not just third world symbols.” In addition to earning distinction in academics at the Prep, Bothwick was active in Model United Nations, Spanish Club, Investment Club, and many Campus Ministry programs. He will attend Harvard University.

In all of his pursuits at St. John’s, Salutatorian andrew Jenkins exemplified the mission and values he saw around him. An outstanding student with a passion for learning and a gift for critical thinking, he brought the same sense of zeal and compassion to everything from analyzing complex biological processes and playing varsity soccer to volunteering with Campus Ministry or acting as a mentor for freshmen. “At St. John’s we strive most of all to get students to master the art of learning. Drew has really done that,” says biology teacher Brother Tim Paul, CFX. Jenkins will attend Middlebury College in the fall.

Life’s Big EquationCommencement speaker Peter dankert stayed true to his discipline as a physics teacher when he urged the graduates to consider the most important equation of their young lives. “Picture this equation for a minute,” he said. “Put your name on the left hand side. The equal sign goes in the middle of course. And put a question mark on the right… What’s on

the right hand side of your equation? What you put in there represents who you are, your beliefs, and your core values… The next four years of your life represent a great opportunity to build and fortify your core values. These values will direct and shape you, and ultimately define who you are. Challenge yourself, do things that aren’t easy for you because growth does not happen when you are comfortable. Take some risks. Choose a class each semester that challenges your weaknesses. Get involved in an activity which introduces you to some people whom you otherwise wouldn’t meet. Go on a retreat or a service trip over spring break one year. Try to go to weekday religious service every once and a while. Do whatever it takes to figure out what that question mark means for you, and then strengthen it and live by it.”

50th Reunion ReflectionBill Faircloth ’61Touring the Prep during our 50th reunion in May brought back memories of my first day on campus. It was back in 1957 and I was but one of about 130 strangers, half of whom were resident students. I was among the dayhops, and the residents and upperclassmen considered us some sort of scourge on campus. (This fact was eloquently

recalled by my classmate Jay Michaud during our open mic session at the reunion dinner.)

At 14 or 15 years old, we were both immature and naïve. What the residents didn’t realize was that we got to go home every day at 2:30 and have the rest of the day to spend with friends and family. Most importantly, we got home-cooked meals every day. Residents were stuck on campus back in the day when the only things going on were some very basic sports and a few clubs. The resident bravado disappeared after a few weeks when, on Fridays, we left for the weekend and they stayed on campus. I suspect there were a few resident tears flowing on those Friday afternoons.

We all quickly got over our initial trepidation and got down to the business at hand. It soon became apparent that we were there to learn, and that the brothers were there to teach. The learning bar was set high, the workload was heavy, and failure was not an option. The methods and tools used by teachers 50 years ago were vastly different from today, but I’m convinced no less effective. In retrospect, it’s apparent that we were not expected to learn to speak Latin, memorize the periodic table, or quote “The Odyssey.”

The purpose then was, as it is today, to mold young men into disciplined, spiritual, morally aware individuals prepared to enter adulthood with the tools to succeed and excel in whatever their chosen field or vocation.

Fifty years ago we had blackboards, 3-foot long slide rules, and $.25 lunches. Today’s Preppies have smartboards, computers, cell phones, and $5 lunches. When we were at the Prep, calculators had not yet been invented. Television was rudimentary at best, and cell phones not even imaginable.

After attending this year’s Commencement I’m convinced that no matter what technological, curriculum, program, or facilities differences have occurred in the past 50 years, the purpose and results of the Prep’s mission remains unchanged. We were taught primarily by Brothers. Although there are only two or three Brothers still teaching, their mission and spirit has certainly been embraced by today’s faculty and staff.

In the past 50 years, I have been asked dozens of times how I liked going to St John’s Prep. My answer is always the same: “I consider it to be the best four years of my life.”

Bill Faircloth ’61 is a native of Salem and lives in Danvers. A graduate of Boston College, he is retired from a career in chemical specialty sales. He and his wife, Joyce, have two children, five grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

on Campus: The senior class dedicated the Spire yearbook to Brother Patrician, CFX n The golf team won the Division B title n Glee Club teamed up with Malden Catholic for the Christmas Concert n The indoor and outdoor track teams both won the state title for the fifth consecutive year n Chess Club was among the most popular on campus n The Mardi Gras dance was a social season highlight n Bishop Raymond A. Lane, MM ’11, a member of the Prep’s first graduating class, presided at Commencement.

“As had other classes before it, the 50th Class found Prep life to be a mixture of many things: a burst of Glee Club song, a brief visit to the chapel, a sudden realization of campus beauty. And the 50th Class knew that Prep life had formed it and moulded it in accordance with the ancient principles of an ancient Church that miraculously retains an eternal youthfulness.”

25th Reunion ReflectionJohn Faggiano ’86He knew everyone by name, if not also by their given moniker. Falk, Fohgs, Lumbara, Mac, Pucc, Lew, Holtz, Ron, Rat, G-Man, Eeef, Albie, Arty, Bruiser, PJ, Fitzy, Jimmy P, Dougherty, Dembo, Ted, McGrath, Gerry, Gouch, Gal, Fudge, McEnaney, Big O, Eric, Richie, Sawz, Travs, Psycho (well, maybe Steve), Kelly, Kaneb, Kennealy, Kevin, Corson, Sammy, Carl, Whitey, and the Bear. Oh, how we miss the Bear.

He sat at the table, surrounded by a representation of his hand-picked dream teamers: fellow Brothers Sullivan, Comber and Tim Paul, and Messrs. Flatley, Walor, Glatz, and Westfield. Brilliant, selfless men who opted not to use their talents to amass money and possessions, but for the chance to make a difference in the lives of young men. Masters of the classroom, lords of the hallways, and guardians of the grass, they never seemed satisfied, always expecting more of us. Quiet leaders who relished the idea of being role models, and were not afraid to discuss issues of morality and spirituality. Like their leader, it was never about them, but always about us.

Because he cared enough to get to know us, we cared about each other. We got to know everyone in our class, some better than others, all the while knowing that we were going through it together. It wasn’t easy. Much blood, sweat and tears were poured into homework, and left out on the practice field, court, pool and stage. The well-rounded Eagle by design was busy, but never too busy to look out for each other, so we were taught. The message was simple: Work hard; we are here to help you; this is a brotherhood. Before we knew it, we were seniors roaming the same halls where we were once in awe of the likes of Jimmy Traa and Carmon Monks, believing as freshmen that we would never be worthy. The cycle was now complete, just as he had envisioned.

Looking at him on Saturday night, he was unchanged. Talking to him, he still had the same fire and passion for the school, and for us. Brother Keefe, the maestro of our SJP experience, sat quietly, as usual, taking it all in. I hope he saw what I saw. A group of men who truly appreciated their SJP experience, and those who shared it with them. How easy it was to step back in time and talk to fellow members of the brotherhood about the memories, most of them good, many comical and amusing, and a few still painful, but all unforgettable common themes: We were well prepared to take the next step, and beyond. We could not have done it without each other. We are first and foremost Eagles, and always will be. Thank you, Brother Keefe and your dream teamers. Thank you, SJP.

John Faggiano ’86 (pictured above with Brother Edward Keefe, CFX) is a native of Reading. A graduate of The College of the Holy Cross and Suffolk University Law School, he is a partner at Hunter & Faggiano, P.C. in Boston. He and his wife, Kelly, live in needham with their four children.

“The well-rounded Eagle by design was busy, but never too busy to look out for each other, so we were taught.”

“Did you ever stop to think how much walking we did in our years at the Prep? In all kinds of weather? Sometimes in dazzling sunshine… And you know what? We enjoyed the trek between buildings! It woke us up, exposed us to the beauties of the campus, made us glad to be alive.”
