What’s new at Vianney this school year? Plenty!

The former multi-purpose room at the juncture of the 100 and 200 hallways (the room known to most alumni as the library) has been con-verted into our new Leadership Center. The bright, inviting space provides a conference room, offices for members of the guidance and counseling department, and much-improved space for testing and presentations by college representatives.

In addition, every classroom has been equipped with a 60-inch, flat-screen LED

television. These TVs communicate wirelessly with the teacher’s laptop and are in daily use for presentations and web page display.

Vianney is also moving to the “Google Apps” online environment to take advantage of the flexibility and simplicity of cloud computing. “Our goal with Google Apps is to enable students to share data and create documents and presentations in a collaborative, online environment,” said Vianney’s new Instructional Technology

Coordinator, Mr. Drew McAllister. “As an added bonus, because everything is online, a student won’t accidentally lose a file or leave important homework at home,” Mr. McAllister said.

With an integrated e-mail system powered by Gmail, students will also have access to their Vianney e-mail anywhere at any time. “Teachers, counselors and coaches are using the system as a quick and efficient way to connect with students,” Mr. McAllister said.

With the move to the Google Apps environment, Vianney also purchased 60 Google Chromebook laptop computers. The computers are fast, light and cost-effective, and they are proving to be a great tool for immersing Griffins in the online creation environment.

New Space, New Technology Kick Off Year

The academic program at St. John Vianney High School has placed among the top 50 Catholic high schools nationally, earning an “Honor Roll” ranking based on a rigorous evaluation by the Cardinal Newman Society.

There are 1,205 Catholic high schools in the United States. Vianney was designated as a school whose academic program is among the top 50 of these.

The Catholic High School Honor Roll pro-gram looks at three areas in all: academics, civic education and Catholic identity. Schools

named to the Top 50 Catholic High Schools are recognized for overall excellence in all three Honor Roll categories. Other schools, like Vianney, receive special recognition in a particular category by placing in the top 50 in that individual classification.

The Top 50 Catholic High Schools competi-tion was created in 2004 to help parents evaluate the quality of Catholic high schools. It also serves to inspire these schools to pur-sue ever-higher levels of excellence through constructive competition.

Vianney is the only Catholic boys’ school in St. Louis to be recognized in this competition. This is a significant honor for Vianney, and we are grateful to our faculty and staff, and to our parents, alumni and other donors, who make possible Vianney’s ongoing pursuit of excellence.

FALL 2012

A Celebration of Griffins of the YearThe Griffin of the Year is the highest honor bestowed in a graduating class. It is given to the young man who best exemplifies the characteris-tics of Marianist education and lives the Vianney mission. In recent decades, class members have made nominations for this honor, and Vianney faculty and staff have voted among top nominees to determine the winner.

In two classes of early Griffins, 1962 and 1966, the Griffin of the Year honor was not bestowed. Reasons why — if they existed — have been forgotten. To correct this oversight, Vianney hosted these classes in August to allow them to grant this long-delayed award. At the first all-school Mass, Griffins from 1962 and 1966 were applauded by Vianney students and staff.

Given the passage of the decades, these classes chose not to designate individuals for the honor. Instead, those assembled from each class accepted the award collectively in the spirit of Vianney brotherhood.

Griffins of the Year from every graduating class were also invited to attend the Mass. We were pleased to welcome honorees spanning 1965 to 2008.

Vianney hosted past Griffins of the Year at the first

Vianney’s Griffins of the Year have always been men who stepped up when asked, so we were not surprised when many of them responded to our request for an update on their lives. What follows is an encapsulation of the information they sent. Some submissions were detailed, others quite brief.

Before we go further, we need to make an apology. In the last issue of Black & Gold, we included a photo we thought was of the very first Griffin of the Year, William Scharf. Instead, the headshot was of Bill’s classmate, John Murphy. Given the way names are arranged in the 1961 Talon yearbook, it was easy to misinterpret which name belonged with which Griffin. We got it wrong, and we’re sorry.

While we regret the goof, we were gratified to hear from a number of ’61 grads, including Mike Beckman, Tom Charron, Jim Lavelle and John Murphy, who informed us of our error. Thanks for reading and thanks for keeping us honest!

1961 William Scharf

Bill Scharf ’s senior class was the first to walk the halls of the brand-new Vianney High School. Al-though it was a small class — just 33 young men — Bill Scharf would have stood out even in a much larger group. He served as senior class president, played varsity football, and was a member of the senior sodality and the glee club. Bill was a gifted artist and drew the first Griffin used as the Vianney symbol. He also played guitar in a band with some of his classmates.

Bill attended the University of Detroit, earning a degree in architecture. When he returned to St. Louis, he took a position with Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum (HOK), one of the

country’s premier architectural firms. Among his projects was the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.

“Bill was a super, super young man,” said Mrs. Loretto Scharf, Bill’s mother. “Of course I’d say that, as his mother, but he really was quite gifted.” At Bill’s graduation, Mrs. Scharf was pregnant with Bill’s younger brother, Keith. Keith Scharf grew up to become a Griffin as well, graduating in 1979.

Keith’s son Michael Scharf graduated from Vianney in May. In keeping with the legacy, Mike was an honor student; he’s now attend-ing Saint Louis University.

Mrs. Scharf was pleased to attend Mike’s graduation in May. It reminded her of a graduation day 51 years earlier. “We didn’t find out until we came to Vianney on gradu-ation day that Bill was also valedictorian of his class. He hadn’t told us. He wanted it to be a surprise,” said Mrs. Scharf.

Earning such a high honor and being able to hold it for a surprise may demonstrate why

Bill was chosen to be Vianney’s first Griffin of the Year. He set the bar very high.

Bill Scharf died in 1974.

1963 Donald Cassilly

Life was simpler when Don Cassilly and his twin brother Dave Cassilly were Griffins. The Cassilly boys lived a short walk from Vianney,

Among the Class of 2012 was Michael Scharf, the nephew of the original Griffin of the Year. He was joined by his parents Keith ’79 and Donna Scharf, and his grandmother, Mrs. Loretto Scharf (center). When Bill Scharf graduated in 1961, his mother was pregnant with Keith. In this photo, Mrs. Loretto Scharf is wearing on her collar a pin presented to her by the Vianney Marianists in 1961 for serving as an officer in the original Mothers’ Club.

and would hop the back school fence on their commute. One of the Marianist brothers made their trip even easier by giving them a key to a back door.

Don said he always expected to become a priest, and he entered the Marianist novitiate after graduating from Vianney. “It turns out that was not what God had in store for me,” Don wrote. He ended up earning a bachelor’s at Drury University and a law degree from St. Mary’s University.

He and his wife Lynn, have been married for 38 years and have lived in Florida since the mid-1980s, raising two sons there. He came back to St. Louis a couple of years ago and spent some time with his cousin, fellow Griffin, and famed local artist Bob Cassilly ’68. (Bob, founder of the City Museum, died last year.)

1964 Thomas Lang

Tom Lang distinguished himself in the first “all-four-years-at-Vianney” graduating class

and has continued to build an impressive résumé over the years. He received a BA at St. Mary’s University and earned a law degree from Saint Louis Uni-versity. Since 1971, he has had a law office in Clayton.

He has served as an officer on both the

Missouri Bar Association and the St. Louis County Bar Association. He was recognized as the St. Louis Bar’s “Outstanding Young Lawyer” in 1979 and received the organization’s Distinguished Service Award in 1998. Tom has led and served on a number of committees to improve legal services to families and the poor.

Tom served as chairman of Vianney’s Board of Directors from 1992 to 1998 and was inducted into our Hall of Fame in 1999. He has served for many years as a CYC coach and Parish School of Religion teacher at Ascension Parish. Tom and his wife Jill have five children and five grandchildren.

1965 Robert Barrett

After graduating from Vianney, Bob attended the University of Missouri - Rolla where he earned a bachelor's in mechanical engineer-ing, a master’s in management, and a pair of Second Lieutenant’s bars in the U.S. Army.

After his Army hitch, Bob worked for Mon-santo, with assignments in St Louis, New York, Chicago and London, England. He retired from Monsanto in 1997 and joined IBM in a sales role.

Bob met his wife Sherry on the very day he

graduated from Vianney. The Barretts have four children and eight grandchildren.

1968 Anthony Garofalo

Tony Garofalo says he has been “very fortu-nate” in his career as an athletic trainer. He credits Vianney coaches Don Heeb and Irv Capler for launching him on his path.

Tony graduated from Benedictine College and went to work in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league system. In 1977, he became head trainer for the Chicago Cubs. He spent the next 10 years in Major League Baseball and worked two MLB All-Star games.

In 1983, Tony became one of the founding members of the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society (PBATS). His career in MLB included meeting then-Vice President George H.W. Bush and being personally thanked by Bruce Sutter in Sutter’s Hall of Fame induction speech. Tony has served as president of the Illinois Athletic Trainers Association and on the board of the Great Lakes Athletic Trainers Association. He continues to lecture at the state and district level on athletic training and baseball injuries.

1971 Lawrence Bommarito

At the suggestion of Bro. Norbert Grass, S.M., Larry attended the (Marianist) University of Dayton and then went on to get a graduate degree at Kansas State University. He came home to St. Louis, married an Ursuline grad, and began a 23-year career with Southwestern Bell.

After taking early retirement, he started on a second career at Saint Louis University as a program manager and adjunct instructor for a distance-based master's and doctoral degree program in biosecurity and disaster preparedness. (“Go figure,” Larry says!)

Larry and his wife Josie have five children. The youngest, Billy Bommarito is a 2008 Vianney grad. The Bommaritos remain active at St. Peter parish in Kirkwood, where Larry and his brothers, Vince ’61, John ’63, Tom ’64, Jim ’69 and Bill ’73 grew up.

1972 Daniel Shea

Dan has made his career in information tech-nology. With a bachelor’s from Mizzou and a master’s degree from Boston University, he’s held positions with McDonnell Douglas, Mercantile Bank, AT&T and IBM.

Dan and his wife Meg have five children, in-cluding Jaime Shea ’03, and four grandsons. The Sheas live in the Kirkwood area.

1975 Mark Lux

Mark attended Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State University), then transferred to the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine. He graduated in 1982 with a degree in veterinary medicine. Mark owns Mackenzie Pointe Animal Hospital in Shrewsbury.

Mark and his wife Janice, a Nerinx Hall grad, have put three boys through Vianney: Justin ’07, Brad ’11 and Brett ’11. Their daughter Amanda is a 2004 Nerinx grad. Mark says Vianney instilled in him the value of family and community involvement; he is active in his church and with the state veteri-nary association.

1978 James Voorhees

Dr. Jim Voorhees operates a family dental practice in Lenexa, Kan., a suburb of Kansas City. After graduating from the University of Missouri – Kansas City Dental School, he

returned to St. Louis and had a practice here for 11 years. He then pursued the opportunity for a post-graduate fellowship at the University of Florida College of Dentistry in Gainesville. Following that, Jim returned to the Midwest and established his practice in Lenexa in 1999.

Jim and his wife Amy have three children, and he says he regrets that his son didn’t have the opportunity to become a Griffin.

1979 William Hennessey

Bill Hennessey attended the University of Notre Dame on an ROTC scholarship. He completed a master’s in Health Administra-tion at Saint Louis University and spent four years on active duty in Hawaii.

After the Hawaii hitch, Bill and his wife Dawn moved to Springfield, Mo., where Bill began his ongoing career with St. John’s Health System (now named Mercy). He cur-rently serves as Regional Vice President of Marketing and Communications.

Bill and Dawn’s three sons have all attended Springfield Catholic Schools, including Springfield Catholic High School, former home of Vianney Principal Dr. Tim Dilg. Bill has served on the boards of a number of organizations, including the Springfield Catholic Development Board and Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri.

The White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico is the site of the annual Bataan Memorial Death

March, a standard 26.2 mile marathon. Lou Grone V, an ROTC cadet at St. Mary’s Uni-versity, finished first in his cadet group. It was Lou’s second time competing in the event.

Warrensburg is home to Matt Soer. He works as an emergency medical technician for the

Johnson County Ambulance District.

Ryan Ploesser apparently is ready for the long run. He proposed to his girlfriend of

five years, Audrey Lampe, when they both completed the Go! St. Louis half-marathon in April. The proposal was captured in a feature on KSDK Ch. 5. She said yes.

Pat Hooper is the lead vocalist for local pop punk/rock band La Bella Charade. Their debut

release is called “All Friends, No Fans.” You can check out their concert schedule at face-book.com/labellacharade.

The Riverfront Times named Dan Mahfood the “Best Hip-Hop DJ” in 2011. Working

under the name DJ Mahf, Dan keeps busy with a steady stream of local shows. You can check him out at Djmahf.com

We’re wishing Bryan Sisk was a little busier. He’s in his final year of medical school at the Cleveland Clinic, and has recently published a book called “A Lasting Effect: Reflections on Music and Medicine.” The volume describes his experiences playing guitar and singing for children hospitalized with conditions such as cancer or heart defects. Bryan is pursuing a career in pediatrics.

Congratulations to Nate Stein, who married Allison Cole in June. The pair enjoyed a hon-eymoon in Ireland! Nate is a social studies teacher and lacrosse coach at Vianney.

The April issue of the U.S. Marine’s Leatherneck magazine included a lengthy profile of

Joe Haman. Joe did two tours in Iraq before returning home to become a St. Louis police officer. Joe was seriously injured in 2010, when he was shot eight times following a traffic stop. Although his injuries have forced him to retire from policing, Joe told the magazine he doesn’t ponder his misfortunes. “I’m getting

around OK. I figure there will be other oppor-tunities. I’m lucky,” he said.

Jeff Borgers let us know that a third-generation Griffin has arrived in the form of Jake Daniel

Borgers, who was born to Jeff and his wife Kelly in June. Proud grandpa is Gary Borgers ’68.

Some people like their float trips a bit extreme. Matt Raterman tackled the MR340 — a 340-mile

kayak race on the Missouri River from Kansas City to St. Charles. Nearly one-third of the competitors do not finish the race, which involves dodging buoys and barges, and even paddling at night.

Brian Rhame and his wife Nicolle welcomed their firstborn, Adalyn Marie, in April. Grandpa and veteran Vianney teacher Paul Rhame notes that Adalyn is the first Rhame girl born in 71 years.

Welcome back to the neighbor-hood! Matt Walbaum is the new executive chef at Growler’s

Pub, just south of Vianney on Lindbergh.

Gavin Joseph was born in May to Steve Spenner and his wife Carey. Gavin joins big brother Tyler.

A run for mayor of Kirkwood may be in the future for Tim Griffin. Tim has served on

Kirkwood’s City Council for 17 years. He’s hit the term limits imposed by Kirkwood’s charter for now, but he says he expects to seek council re-election in 2014, and probably will pursue the mayor’s post in 2016. Bless you for your service to Kirkwood, Tim!

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon recently appointed James Shrewsbury to the St. Louis

Regional Convention and Sports Complex Authority. The authority oversees financing, design and construction of the domed stadium/convention center expansion and administers annual preservation funding. James is an attorney in private practice in St. Louis and has served on the St. Louis Board of Aldermen.

Life is full of ironies. Wendell DePhillips, Vianney’s business manager, recently moved offices.

He now occupies what was once the principal’s office. He said he spent a fair amount of time in the space when he was a student.

At the spring reception of the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame, Dave Lange was presented with the 2012 Bob Burnes Benchwarmer Award. Dave recently published a book about St. Louis soccer.

Old family-owned businesses often struggle in a changing economy, but Goedeker’s

Superstore, run by Steve Goedeker, is making a successful transition to online retailing. In an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch this spring, Steve described how they’ve converted much of their West County retail store to warehouse space for their online operation.

In fiscal year 2011-2012, generous donors gave more than $265,000 to specific scholarship funds at Vianney. These scholarships are a profound blessing in lives of scores of Griffins. For many boys, it makes the difference between the privilege of attending Vianney or going to a public school.

Could you consider providing a scholarship to Vianney? You are free to define the amount and requirements of the scholarship, within certain parameters. Many of the scholarships currently offered are in memory of an alumnus, such as Clay Pfeiffer ’11 or Dan Riordan ’01. Other scholarships are targeted to certain types of students.

For more information on creating a scholarship, please contact Pete Cerone ’93, Director of Advancement, at pcerone@vianney.com, or 314.965.4853, ext. 118.

While his classmates were buying dorm supplies and finalizing their freshman fall schedules, John Schenk ’12 has been setting up a board of directors, organizing volunteer training

and considering whether to hire a development director.

John Schenk is not your typical new alum-nus. While his classmates have headed off to college, he’s been busy getting his

new non-profit organization, Teens to Teens, up and running.

Schenk created Teens to Teens as a peer-mentoring organization that “seeks to bring the spiritual component to helping teens deal with crisis,” Schenk says. The program will operate through Catholic high schools — he has 16 on board so far — and will reach out to students who are struggling with personal issues. Schenk’s vision is that Teens to Teens will help young people build strong, positive

relationships with their peers so that they can deal with issues such as bullying, grief, drugs and suicide.

The basic concept of Teens to Teens is that volunteer teens within each school are trained to identify and befriend fellow students who may be in crisis. Through this peer support system, the troubled young person can be guided toward help and health.

Most 18-year-olds would not be brave enough to launch an organization, but

Schenk was navigating the entrepreneurial waters before he reached adolescence. He started his first company, a sports memorabilia business, in the fifth grade. He successfully marketed autographs for names that included Stan Musial, Lou Brock and Bob Gibson. He dissolved the company during his senior year, after a falling out with his business partner.

Schenk’s attitude, energy and leadership skills have inspired adults to enlist in his plans for Teens to Teens. Fr. Mitch Doyen ’79, president of St. Mary’s High School, will serve as chairman of the board. Other board members include an attorney, a social worker and a psychologist.

So while his fellow Griffins in the class of 2012 are off to school this fall, Schenk will be busy running Teens to Teens. And in case that doesn’t keep him busy enough, he is also taking a full course load at Meramec Com-munity College. He has no reason to believe he won’t be successful in that, too.

You can learn more about Schenk’s organiza-tion at Teens2Teens.org.

It’s not unusual for there to be hundreds of boys on campus at Vianney. But it might surprise some to learn that there are hundreds here in June. And July. And that some of the boys on campus are well shy of five foot in height.

Summer has become a hopping time at Vianney, as the halls, sports fields and gyms host scores of grade schoolers and Griffins for sports camps, as well as for Camp Griffin, a week-long gathering of incoming freshmen. This summer, total attendance at summer camps topped 700.

Summer Camps = a Hot Time at Vianney

At the close of Camp Griffin, members of the Class of 2016 gathered in the chapel with Fr. Tim Kenney, S.M., for Mass.

Camp Griffin allowed new students, including Joe Thaier, to try out unfamiliar sports such as lacrosse. The boys tossed around tennis balls, so regular safety gear wasn’t necessary.
