 president’s letter

Fall 2016

Dear Spellman community,

Arriving at Spellman only weeks ago, I was impressed with what I have come to learn is called the Spellman Spirit. That intangible and some-
times difficult to articulate feeling that seems to breathe life into the heart of Cardinal Spellman High School and is responsible for what I have
also come to know is the “Spellman Experience.” This experience for me was first encountered at mass here at Spellman during Catholic School’s
week when I came to visit during the search process. It was truly remarkable and unforgettable to see the devotion and passion with which the
students, faculty and staff here commit to their celebration of their faith. It is refreshing to witness a school with such an infectious spirit and it
certainly left me craving more of the Spellman Experience.

Today, Catholic Education in the 21st century hinges on the investment of so many hands and minds
devoted to the singular vision of bringing the joy of the Gospel, the pursuit of truth and the appreciation
of beauty to all who seek them. Without the sacrifice of passionate teachers, dedicated coaches, committed
parents and generous stakeholders this great adventure would not be possible! As I begin this adventure
with all of you I ask for your prayers and know that mine will be with you, the Spellman family, for a
truly successful, rewarding, and fulfilling year.

Fall 2016

Dear Members of the Spellman Community,

The beginning of a school year is always an exciting time. Students have a fresh start with new opportunities to maximize their potential. The
faculty, staff and administration are eager to engage our students in their educational endeavors. Welcome back!

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I would like to extend a special welcome to our new president, Daniel Hodes. Dan brings a wealth of educa-
tional leadership and expertise to Spellman and will enthusiastically lead our school through its next era.

We are ready for the new school year to begin!

As we advance our curriculum for 21st century learning, several technological programs have been imple-
mented. Four years ago, 1-1 computing was introduced to students and faculty with the iPad initiative. As the
integration of this technology has evolved, the need for an interactive and collaborative learning environment
emerged. Last year’s completion of the Library Learning Commons fulfilled this purpose. It has been exciting
to observe the more complex and creative work generated by the students and faculty with the use of digital
and online applications and tools in this redesigned space. We look forward to integrating this learning envi-
ronment even more fully into our curriculum in the coming year.

A strategic plan provides a framework for the master plan of school programs, operations and facilities.
We are entering the final year of our 2012-2017 Strategic Plan. Over the course of this school year, we will
develop the 2017-2022 Plan. Updates will be provided on our progress.

As we embark on the next important chapter of our school, I invite you to come back to the campus. There are many ways that you can be a
part of the Spellman experience including Masses, drama performances, athletics events, the Legacy Gala, class reunions, golf tournaments, open
houses and much more. Thank you for all you do through your prayers, your time, your expertise, financial resources and commitment to Spell-
man’s future.

As always, Sequere Deum!

The Lindsay A. Curtin Endowed Memorial
Scholarship Supports Spellman Students
Opening the Class of 2006
yearbook, it is hard not to
notice the stand-out student
with the beautiful smile
who was awarded the senior
superlative of, “Most School Spirit”. You would
never know through the photos that Lindsay Curtin was battling
a debilitating disease. Lindsay passed during her senior year after a
life-long bout with cystic fibrosis. She was a young woman of great
faith who loved being a Spellman student. She loved being a Spellman
cheerleader, a Spellman Student Council officer, and especially, she
loved being a Spellman Peer Minister. She gave her all to Spellman
and she will never be forgotten.
Following her passing, The Lindsay A. Curtin Endowed Memorial
Scholarship was established by Tina and David Curtin in memory
of their only daughter. Last year, Spellman’s Jeanay Pierre ’17 was
the recipient of the scholarship. Jeanay embodies many of the same
qualities and school spirit that Lindsay possessed. Jeanay’s school spirit
shines though as a Spellman cheerleader, a member of the Spellman
Step Team and member of the Spellman Choir. Jeanay’s freshman
experience on the cheerleading team is one she will always carry with
her. “Being part of the 2014 cheerleading team throughout the state
basketball championship made me really excited for the years to come
at Spellman.” Jeanay’s talents don’t end there. She has studied violin
happening on the hill
since age 5 and is currently a member of The Boston Youth Symphony
Orchestra and has played for Mayor Menino and the Prime Minister
of Ireland. At Spellman, she has played for the Veterans Day Prayer
Service and at the annual talent show.
Tina and David Curtin have worked tirelessly over the past 10 years
to establish and garner support for The Lindsay A. Curtin Memo-
rial Scholarship Fund, which not only supports students at Spellman
but several other area high school students. The Curtins have held an
annual golf tournament and the “It’s for Lindsay” Annual Auction
and Dinner. This year, Jeanay played violin for the guests at the event.
Through the scholarship,
the Curtin family helps
students who possess
the same dedication and
compassion that Lindsay
did. It is their special way
of giving back as they
continue to experience that
Lindsay’s spirit lives on. Reflecting on what the scholarship means to
her, Jeanay said, “Understanding the kind of person that Lindsay was
and knowing that I have been awarded her scholarship makes me want
to honor her by working harder in school.”

 Jamaica “[The kids learned] that this can be more lasting
than making something ...”
“It was the closest I’ve ever been to experiencing Jesus. You’re really living
your faith.” Mary O’Malley ’16 spent her April vacation this year with
20 other juniors and seniors in Jamaica through Mustard Seed Com-
munities, volunteering her time and her heart to help individuals who
have special needs or have been abandoned. There are many different
homes at Mustard Seed, with buildings dating back to the 70’s. The
principal idea behind these communities is that
the residents were “abandoned once, never again”.
Residents will never age out of this community;
they are welcomed there their whole lives. Mis-
sionaries like O’Malley and the Spellman students
are imperative in assisting the staff by just being
with the residents. According to Spellman’s Director of Service, Joan
Querzoli, “the Jamaica trip fulfills the second ‘foot’ of social justice. The
first foot, ‘direct service’ is highlighted for the freshmen and sophomores
through service days and The Appalachia Service Project. The second
foot, ‘social justice’, is harder to grasp. With social justice, you are being
with those who need help, not doing for them.” Campus minister and
trip leader Jason Deramo agrees. “The missionaries are here to be with
the residents because the staff can’t. [The kids learned] that this can be
“Coming back, I noticed a big change.
That week, every moment was

more lasting than making something. They couldn’t point to one thing
and say, ‘this is how I helped.’”
Faith and community were central parts of the trip, with daily Mass
and prayer three times a day. The missionaries participated in an hour of
silence each evening, allowing them time for Adoration and reflection.
According to O’Malley, this reflection continued when she got home.
“Coming back, I noticed a big change. That week, every moment was
meaningful. [Back home], I had a lot of downtime. That whole week
had a purpose. I realized not to sweat the small stuff. Appreciate every-
thing you have. I’m healthy, my family’s healthy, we have clean water,
we have healthcare.” This was O’Malley’s second trip through Appala-
chia Service Project, having gone once before through her church. The
impact of the project is clear as she starts her journey pursuing physical
therapy this fall. “I
would love to go
back to Jamaica as a
physical therapist. I

 2015-16 Boys Basketball
season finishes with
16–4 record

Hard work,
Friendship,
Perseverance and Heart!
“T his team was really more of a family than a team to me; both [on
and] off the court. Playing every game together was really fun.”
Senior captain Dimitri St. Louis recalled the 16-4 record in the
2015-2016 basketball season with his teammates, an incredible season
sending the Cardinals to the tournament. Tom Crane ’16 commented
not only on the hard work, but the work off the court: “We definitely
exceeded our expectations this year. We definitely knew we were going
to be better than the year before no one realized we were going to be
that good. I think it shows the friendship we have on the team just
being able to play with each other.“ After a year-long break from the
tournament, the Cardinals were happy to get back in it. “It was one of
the better seasons we’ve had; one of the better teams we’ve had in a
while,” remarked senior captain Nick George. For George, who played
on the 2014 State Championship team, the tournament was familiar.
But for the rest of this team, it was new and exciting. When speak-
ing with all of the seniors, they all that closeness helped bring them
to success. “Hard work every day in practice translate[d] to all of our
success in this season,” recalled Richie Stover ’16. “I’d give anything
to go back.” The Cardinals made it to the Division 3 South Sectional
Semifinals, where they lost to Bishop Stang by only three points. The
Spellman community supported them throughout, with an incredible
showing from the Cardinal Crazies at every game from Bourne to
New Bedford. We are incredibly proud of the hard work, perseverance,
and heart demonstrated by this team this year – go Cardinals!

B oys lacrosse proved they are a force to be reckoned with. The team finished
their third season as a varsity sport this year as Catholic Central League 2015-16 Boys Lacrosse Team -

Champions, making it to the second round of the tournament. However,
the story of this team far exceeds the playing field.

The Spellman athletic community prides itself on teaching a team attitude

and good sportsmanship, and the lacrosse team is no exception. As their hard
work was paying off throughout the season, the team wanted to acknowl-
edge that they were not alone in their efforts. They knew that God was
guiding them, and that He had blessed them with their talents. One game,
the Playing Field
Spellman faculty member Brother Paul Alves was in the stands, having been
invited by his students. Little did he know, he was about to start a tradition.
Brother Paul walked out to the field before the start of the game to pray with
the team. Armed with holy water, he spoke of God’s guidance to victory, and
sprinkled the athletes. There was absolutely no surprise when they won.

The pre-game prayer continued the rest of the season, with a different parent
leading the team each game. The presence of God on the field was a solid
reminder of the Spellman experience – an education of the whole person,
academically, spiritually, and socially. The leaders of this team – captains
Ralph Grillone III ’16, Mike Reale ’16, Jimmy Lysko ’17, and Mike Cahill ’17,
joined by the seniors Tom Crane, Cameron McLaughlin, and Matt Ryan,
proved to the Spellman community what hard work,
dedication, and positive attitudes can bring.
And we are so proud of our champions.

U pon reading the yearbook for the Class of 1967, Ray Richard’s entry
was prophetic. He wrote that he wanted to have a career in golf, and
he has done just that. Ray began his athletic career at Spellman as a
baseball player on the freshman team and then on to JV as a sopho-
more before deciding to join the golf team for his junior and senior
year. This was a good decision! His lifelong passion for the game of
golf was ignited and cultivated during his final two years at Spellman.
While working on his game, Ray was employed as a grounds crew
member at D.W. Field Golf Course in Brockton.
After Spellman, Ray graduated from the Stockbridge School of
Agriculture at UMass with a degree in Turf Management. Then, in
1971, he joined the U.S. Navy where he was stationed for two years at
the Naval Air Station in Keflavik, Iceland. Ray reflected on how the
typing skills he picked up at Spellman, paid off in the military. “When
I got to Iceland, a chief petty officer asked me my name. I told him
and he asked if I played golf. I said, yes I did. He told me to go back
to the barracks and take a nap as we had a golf match that afternoon.
After that I worked for the petty officer from then on. He got me a set
of clubs and we played golf and we won the match. In Iceland, I was
scheduled to work on planes and helicopters, but I then
became in charge of all Navy officer records on the
base. I updated their files, got travel and housing for
their families and the like. My final rank when I
was discharged was Yeoman Second Class (E5).”
Ray’s career in the military was not limited to a
desk job. He shared his first-hand account of being
part of the action. “I received a Letter of Commenda-
tion for assisting in a rescue mission when a volcano
erupted in January of 1973. We flew to the volcano and
shoveled lava off roofs of the homes like snow so they
wouldn’t collapse. We were continually pelted by the
cooling lava and the noise it made was incredible. We

were there for 3 days eating mostly C-rations. The good news was no
one, not even animals were hurt, but the bad news was that the town
eventually became covered in lava.”
After an honorable discharge, Ray worked as an assistant superin-
tendent at Norfolk Golf Course in Dedham and Milton Hoosic

sachusetts Champion; Cape Cod Amateur Champion in 1990, 1992
and 1994; 1989 Hornblower Memorial Champion; 5-time Brockton

two-time member of the Massachusetts Tri State Team. Ray won
the Brockton City Open in 2004. In April 2016, Ray won the
2016 Seagulls 4Ball Championship at Hyannisport after
32 years of competing in it. He has been in the final four
times prior to this year.
Ray helped to establish the committee for Spellman’s
Edward Amaral Golf Tournament. He continues to
serve on the committee for The Joey Glynn Memorial
Golf Tournament. Without Ray, this event, which has
sold out year after year, would not be possible. He cur-
rently resides with his wife Diane in Bourne and remains
in close contact with many Spellman alumni. Spellman
is grateful to Ray’s dedication, service to our country and
continued service to our school.
His passion for golf (along with his typing
skills) picked up at Spellman paid off in
the military and in lifelong endeavors.

Ryan McGaughey ‘17
student, athlete and scholarship recipient
F
or Ryan McGaughey ’17, his Spellman experience so far can be
summed up by one word: community. Prior to Spellman, Ryan at-
tended Holbrook Junior/Senior High School. Being a Cardinal was
already in his family; his brother Ricky a graduate of the class of 2013
and his sister Jaclyn of 2011. Ryan plays both football and basketball,
16 Cardinal Spellman • tradition
and remembers the 2014 Boys Basketball season fondly. “I was in the
stands. It was so cool to see everyone come together, and to watch
them do it for Joey. I had chills chanting with the whole crowd.” Ryan
was there to support the varsity team, and Spellman has always given
the support back to him. When asked the best part of being a part of
Spellman, Ryan thought for a moment. “Being part of a close commu-
nity…it’s just an all around great experience. There are great moments
you don’t even expect.”
Ryan has felt Spellman support from many different members in
the community. As a recipient of the Marion L. Cosgrove Endowed
Memorial Scholarship, support transcends generations of Cardinals.
Mr. Barry Cosgrove ’75, Chair Emeritus of the Board of Trustees,
generously invests in Ryan’s education. “I would want to thank him for
supporting me in my education – I want to put it to good use.” Ryan
has felt support from the immediate community on the hill several
different times in his three years as a student, when he overcame
medical obstacles that presented themselves his freshman and sopho-
more years. “There wasn’t a single person who didn’t support me…I
still have the box of prayer chains Spellman sent.” However,
Ryan still had one more hurdle. The first football scrim-
mage of Ryan’s junior year left him with a serious
leg injury he is still working to come back from.
But when asked about his senior season, Ryan
was optimistic: “I won’t miss out.” And the
Spellman community will be there to sup-
port him then, too.

The Marion L. Cosgrove Endowed Memorial Scholarship
Barry Cosgrove remembers his mother as a woman of great integrity and temendous work skills –
traits he hopes to share with Spellman students through this scholarship.
At Cardinal Spellman High School, the importance of educating the
whole person – academically, spiritually, and socially – is highly
valued. However, the cost of this education is much higher than the
cost of tuition. With the help of our generous Annual Fund donors,
this cost is offset. With the help of our scholarship donors, some de-
serving students get an extra helping hand. Barry Cosgrove ’75, Chair
Emeritus of the Board of Trustees, is one such donor.
Mr. Cosgrove established the Marion L. Cosgrove Endowed Memo-
rial Scholarship at his alma mater to honor his mother, who raised
five boys by herself in the city of Brockton. Mr. Cosgrove remembers
his mother as a woman of great integrity and tremendous work skills,
traits he hopes to share with Spellman students through this scholar-
ship. “She didn’t have a chance to pursue an education [like Spell-
man],” he said. “I want to honor her memory.”
donor profile
Ryan McGaughey ’17 is a recipient of this year’s Marion L. Cosgrove
Endowed Memorial Scholarship. Although Mr. Cosgrove and Mc-
Gaughey have not yet met, he is looking forward to this year’s Scholar-
ship Reception and Mass of Remembrance of November 1. “It’s very
admirable that Ryan has the willpower to work against the odds, to
follow his older brother and sister and try to keep the legacy alive and
be successful. I’m happy to do anything I can to help him.”
Memorial scholarships are a special way to keep the memory of your
loved one alive and to honor them through helping a current Cardinal.

Creedon Memorial Road Race

The sixth annual Mark R. Creedon Memorial Road Race was held Saturday, April 9, 2016 at D.W. Field Park.
With blue skies and the sun shining down, the energy was high as racers, spectators and friends regis-

Last year’s scholarship recipient, Ashley Glynn ‘17 and this year’s scholarship recipient, Richard
O’Leary ‘17, signaled the start of the race. Runners, joggers and walkers took off to complete
the 3.5-run or 2.2-mile walk. Once everyone returned to the starting area, winners were
announced, a Spellman alumni photo was taken, and all were invited back to Tommy Doyle’s
at Sidelines to keep remembering, laughing, and honoring Mark.

Ms. Susan Bailey - another angel

Susan Bailey ’69 went home to God.
itself in her overall demeanor. She was profuse in giving praise to
others, but incredibly modest in receiving it.

While her impact has always been
great, it was truly given the recogni-
tion and praise it deserved as the
Spellman community – colleagues, students, and alumni alike –
mourned the loss of their friend and teacher. Younger alums took
to social media to express their sadness and appreciation for her
guidance both in and out of the classroom.
Ms. Bailey, originally of Weymouth, attended Stonehill College
following her high school career at Spellman. Her teaching career
began at Holy Family School in Rockland and then continued
on for 34 years at Spellman. Little did Ms. Bailey know, her time
at Spellman would impact generations of students, both with her
textbook teachings on history and psychology and her life lessons,
pulled from her own experiences. Her faith was one of the biggest
parts of her life, something she often imparted on her students.
She would never miss Sunday Mass – if poor weather impacted the
roads, you could find Ms. Bailey walking. Her modesty exhibited
Her spirit of giving did not differ much from that of her mother,
Ruth Bailey, who served Spellman as the school nurse until her
death in 2003. Susan was blessed with five brothers, Robert, Peter,
Daniel, Steven, and John. She honored her family in everything she
did, and always made sure to put them before herself. Ms. Bailey
took great pride in the scholarship she established in her parents’
name, appreciating their living legacy in the recipients. The giving
didn’t stop there: Ms. Bailey was the founder and orchestrator of
the “Sunshine Fund” and “Dime-o-mite”, collections to help fac-
ulty and students respectively and “fund good things”. She believed
Dime-o-mite, for students especially,
helped to teach them the importance
of giving back and helping their
peers. Ms. Bailey always knew every-
thing that was going on up on the
hill; she had an open door policy and
people knew they could count on her. Her ability to form relation-
ships with people expanded to the young and the elderly, and her
maternal nature was truly a gift.

from Spellman now with God
Aside from her family, there were few as important to Ms. Bailey
as her dogs. Through the years, Patrick, Bridget, Baxter, Brody
and Brayden lived a lucky life alongside Ms. Bailey. She loved her
Connected Catholics Group, corned beef dinners, and her Celtics
and Red Sox. She knew everything about Paul Pierce and Dustin
Pedroia, and even received a Paul Pierce jersey as a gift from her
homeroom one year. Mrs. Fran Whelan, friend and colleague of 15
years, watched Ms. Bailey’s classroom and her students year after
year. “[For her], everything was a teachable moment,” recalled Mrs.
Whelan.
Ms. Bailey’s memory will live on at Spellman through her students,
fellow teachers, and her scholarship, the John, Ruth and Susan
Bailey Endowed Memorial Scholarship. Students for years to come
will hear of the selfless, independent, strong Irish woman who
drove a kelly green car and always had spare change to give to the
Sunshine Fund. Spellman will miss you, Ms. Bailey.

At the 2016 Commencement exercises, faculty, staff and students donned
shamrock pins in memory and honor of their beloved colleague and teacher.
Ms. Bailey,
Because of you, we weren’t scared little freshmen. Us “cubs” felt safe with our “mama
bear” protecting us.
Because of you, we always knew the order of the mods. Some days, I’m convinced the
sophomore and junior homerooms on the bottom floor heard “G, A, B!!!!” as well.
Because of you, we were always up to date on the latest fashion trends. Only a true
few can pull off a sweater/dress combo every single day.
Because of you, we kicked that nasty habit of chewing gum in class. 25 cents a day
adds up!
Because of you, we were always up to date on the latest Red Sox/Celtics news. I guess
it’s time to forgive Pierce for leaving us for Brooklyn.
Because of you, even full blooded Italians were wishing they had some Irish roots in
them. Not everyone has an excuse to ride in a bright, Celtic green SUV everyday.
Because of you, children were able to receive iPods and and other electronic devices
that they were otherwise unable to have the luxury of owning. I guess counting every
last penny in those Dime-o-Mite folders did pay off in the long run.
Because of you, Spellman was truly a better place. You could brighten anyone’s day. Sim-
ply stopping by room 204 and quickly chatting in between classes would do it for me.
Because of you, Heaven gained an angel.
Rest in the sweetest peace.
Much Love,

Hello to all my friends...I got a note
from Jackie Noel Palmenberg a
while ago asking me if I would get a
few people from our class together...
so I did..... June 1 at the Chateau in
Stoughton. A wonderful time was
had by all. We learned that Jackie
and Ann Marie Girdzus Burns had
been friends since childhood along
with Dalia Stankus James when
they went to St Casimir’s School.
Jean Moynihan, Natalie Pica Con-
nelly, Maureen Higgins Haughy,
and Rosie Hebshie Rappold . Marie
O’Connor and Margaret Corcoran
Boutiette all attended. We were
all very glad to see each other and
hoped Jackie had as good a time at
her 50th Reunion from Emanuel
College. If any of you out there
are interested in a small gathering
of old friends on your next visit to
Brockton, please send me a note, an
email, a message on FB or call me
1-508-588-3137 and leave a mes-
sage. Charlotte Beary, slept outside
with about a dozen teenagers from
St. Thomas Aquinas to raise aware-
ness and funds for the homeless.
The group raised about $2,000
for Father Bill’s and MainSpring
homeless advocacy group through
a bake sale and sponsorship. Carol
Plouffe has again signed up for the
Buzz Off. She earned a good deal
of money for Cancer Research, I
think. I heard from the Randolph
girls that they will be getting
together again very soon, of course
letting me know when so I can go
too. Peggy McLaughlin Chicoine
has finally retired recently after
years and years of working for the
Signature Health Care. Natalie Pica
Connelly is still working as is Jean
Moynihan. Jim Farley still loves
the antique business. Well one
more thing the aforementioned
classmates have all given their two
cents worth regarding a 55th
Reunion and it’s a go for next year
late in June or early September.
Additionally I heard from the
grapevine that Kathy Bailey wants
to help. SO starting in September
after Labor Day and before Rita
and David Maynard go to Florida
I will have a meeting to see who
wants to do what. See you sooner
than later. Love to you all...k

Hi everyone! Is everyone enjoying
those 40th birthday celebrations?
Julie Grant reached out to me to
say hello! She’s a preschool teacher
and last year she had Tom Flaven’s
daughter in her class and this fall
she will have his twins. Julie has also
been dancing and performing over
the years and is choreographing her
first production. She’s the choreog-
rapher for the upcoming produc-
tion of “Beauty and the Beast” at
the Hingham Civic Music Theatre.
There are five different show dates
over two weekends in October. Visit
the theater’s website at www.hcmt.
org for the specific dates, times and
ticket info and consider going to see
a great show and support Julie! Oc-
tober will be a busy month for Julie
because in addition to her debut as
a choreographer, she will also be the
mother of the bride. Her daughter,
Meghan, will be getting married in
a woodland-themed wedding. We
wish Julie, Meghan and her entire
family best wishes for this exciting
time and we can’t wait to see photos
with our classmates who will be
attending. Our sympathies to Shaun
McDonough and Jennifer Fiorino
McDonough on the recent passing
of Shaun’s mother, Donna. Drop me
a note if you have anything for the

you are all doing well. Happy fall!

Who was your Favorite Teacher? A Perspective
W ho was your favorite teacher? Do you think back to elementary, high
school, or college? What qualities make up the teacher you fondly
remember? Maybe you have a few favorites in mind. I know I do. Not
surprising, mine are all CSJ’s and Catholic school laypeople.
I remember both Mrs. Small and Mrs. Ostrowski , but my favorite
teacher in elementary school was in fourth grade. Her name was Miss
Coyne/Sister Joan. Note the split name. They belonged to the same
person. It was in one single moment that I witnessed my favorite
teacher transform from a single laywoman to the bride of Christ. My
principal, Sister Lillian, came over the public address system and an-
nounced to the student body at Sacred Heart School in Weymouth,
Massachusetts that “from now on, please refer to our fourth grade
teacher Miss Coyne as Sr. Joan.” I looked around at the other stu-
dents. I waited for the heavens to open up. How was this happening?
Was it a miracle? I was nine years old. Miss Coyne had given her life
to the Lord. She took vows of poverty, chastity
and obedience. It all happened with just the
sound of a voice over an intercom. What
an unfathomable event! Her clothes looked
the same. Nothing changed with her voice,
shoes or hair. I said her name over and over
again, “Sister Joan, Sister Joan, Sister Joan”.
By the time I noticed what was happening,
my classmates were clapping, prompted by
another teacher who came to the doorway
to congratulate her. “Oh this must be good
news. You clap for people when it is good news”, I muttered to myself.
I loved Sister Joan. She let us write stories. She helped spark my
imagination. I remember losing my grandfather that year. I didn’t fully
understand, but she did. I remember her speaking to me about him. I
have always believed she inspired me to major in English in College,
but now I think I was probably more affected by her love and compas-
sion at a time of loss. Either way, she had a profound influence on me,
especially the mystery and miracle of becoming a religious sister.
Many teachers followed. In high school, Sister Jeremy helped me
overcome my fear of all things math related. Sister Pat Keefe instilled
a passion for reading with her book choices for our Senior English
class and the way she always pulled me aside to make sure I wasn’t
overdoing it. Sister Pat had an uncanny way of reading my heart.
Those relationships continued onto Regis College. My calculus profes-
sor, Sister Sheila tutored me for a whole semester in her basement
office because I had fallen behind when I left school to go home to
attend the funeral of my friend Richie. He died from cancer just a
perspective
By Cathy Demers
few weeks after we all started college. Sister Sheila was a warrior and
refused to give up on me. It seems that all of my favorite teachers
knew me, they recognized the potential in me, and made me feel like I
mattered. Does that ring true for you as well?
We all have experiences of meeting humble educators, role models
and heroes in our lives, people who modeled virtuous living, who paid
it forward. It doesn’t matter when we went to school, what year we
graduated or what schools we attended.
Miss Susan Bailey ‘69 was a mentor and favorite teacher of so many.
She was devoted to her family, her students, and her beloved dogs.
With the gentleness of St. Francis and the boldness of St. Catherine
of Siena, she would love you and call you out if you needed to be re-
directed. She taught about the importance of doing your best “with a
smile”, caring for others, and giving back. She knew what it meant to
be a part of the Spellman family. Maybe you are remembering a coach,
guidance counselor, administrator or friend
with these same qualities.
As teacher and Campus Minister, I remember
Lindsay Curtin ’06 and her impact on all of
us. She fought a brave battle against Cystic
Fibrosis. Despite this, she came to school
and cherished going to classes, being with her
friends and her teachers. She was an Irish step
dancer, a cheerleader, Junior prom queen, and
a great friend. She made an ordinary school
day feel extraordinary with her smile, her perseverance and her joy.
She taught her classmates and teachers many valuable lessons about
overcoming obstacles and living life fully every day. Joey Glynn ’12
was another hero to many here at Spellman. Being in his presence
made others want to be better. Simple gestures like driving his friends
around in the “manvan” to his regular attendance at the Divine Mercy
Holy Hour at Holy Ghost Parish in Whitman continues to this day.
Some of his friends remembered Joey’s birthday by coming to pray
on a Tuesday night in early August. It was always Joey’s actions in the
ordinary cycle of life that showed the rest of us how to live.
As we speak to the virtues of these people we remember, we are re-
minded of our true model of servant hood and leadership, Jesus Christ.
God our Creator knew from the moment Love was shared with the
world that we would all need to learn how to serve one another.
There is evidence in ancient history of leaders writing about servant
leadership. From the Hebrew Scriptures we hear from the prophet

Favorite Teacher? (continued from page 27

Isaiah, “Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one with whom great biblical figures, to canonized saints to modern day social activists
I am pleased. Upon him, I have put my spirit; he shall bring forth
justice to the nations” (Isaiah 42:1) and from the Christian Scriptures
we read, “let no one have contempt for your youth but set an example
for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity.” (1
Timothy 4:13)
Many in corporate America began adopting this ancient idea of
servant leadership when Robert Greenleaf wrote, Servant Leader-
ship: A Journey Into the Nature of Legitimate Power and Greatness
(1977). Along with Greenleaf, others revolutionized leadership well
beyond the 20th century. Many universities recently jumped on board
recognizing that this style of leadership is worth being part of a 21st
century landscape.
The seven pillars of Servant leadership ask us to reflect on what kind of
leader we want to be in the classroom, on the field, in industry and in
the boardroom. Are you a person of character, put people first, a com-
municator, a compassionate collaborator, have foresight, think critically, Jesus Christ calls us to say yes today, accept his mercy, live with joy and
and lead morally? (What Is Servant Leadership? Catholic University
of America, 2012)
As a teacher, many comment that we are off all summer. Although it
is true that we don’t have to show up at the front door, many of us go
to workshops, take summer classes, tutor, and teach summer school or
review curriculum and best teaching practices. Reflecting on the cur-
rent Religious Studies/Theology curriculum, I noticed that the authors
of our textbooks frequently use examples of servant leadership. From
both Catholic and non-alike, servant leadership is explored from fresh-
men year throughout our senior ministry program.
Pope Francis, recently spoke to the youth from around the world. In
his last homily, the pope spoke about the biblical story when Jesus
meets Zacchaeus. He couldn’t see Jesus, so he risked ridicule and
dignity by climbing a tree to catch a glimpse. Jesus summoned him,
“ Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for I must stay at your house today.”
(Luke 19:5)
Pope Francis said, “ Jesus calls you as he did Zacchaeus, by name. Your
name is precious to him.” He also said,
“ He wants to enter your homes, to dwell in your daily lives, in your
studies, your first years of work, your friendships and affections, your
hopes and dreams.” (Homily of his Holiness Pope Francis, Mass for
WYD Krakow, Poland. 2016)
celebrate each day of our lives. We matter to Him. Like our favorite
teachers, role models and friends, it is in loving others during the or-
dinary circumstances of our lives that can bring transformation to our
broken world. It is really that simple.
“Beloved, if God so loved us, we must love one another, God remains
in us and his love is brought to perfection in us.” (1 John 4:11)

W ith a perfect forecast and plenty of sunscreen, the Spellman Golf Committee,
chaired by Matt Glynn ’75, Tim Stearns ’75, and Ray Richard ’67, welcomed the
largest tournament Willowbend Country Club has ever hosted. On June 20, 217
golfers filled the carts and the course for a day of Spellman fun in memory of Joey
Glynn ’12. The foursomes were comprised of alumni, past and present parents,
generous donors and friends. Golfers took part in raffles and had the chance to
shoot off an air cannon on multiple holes. At the end of the day, all were welcomed
back to the clubhouse to enjoy a clam chowder bar and cocktail hour. The three
top-scoring foursomes participated in a shootout, with the foursome of Tony O’Brien
’77 winning it all. Following the presentation of the winners, dinner was served

a four-night stay in the Bahamas with unlimited golf. The annual tournament once
again served as a beautiful tribute to the life and legacy of Joey, with his whole
family in attendance as well as many friends and classmates from the Class of 2012.
This event would not have been possible without the golf committee chairs and the
rest of the committee: Catrina Dirubbo ’87, Aimee Wetzel and Ellen Morrissey Rota,
as well as their volunteers.
Be sure to save the date for Monday, June 19, 2017 and join us at Willowbend for
another year! If you want to be on the mailing list for the tournament or to reserve
your spot, be sure to email Ellen Morrissey Rota at erota@spellman.com.
