’s MessageHow blessed

we are to have journeyed this past year with all of its highs and lows in the sure and certain knowledge that our God, ever ancient and ever new, companions us each step of the way.

W e b e x t r a > Ramblers reflect on the selection of Pope Francis as TIME magazine’s 2013 Person of the Year. View the video at goramblers.org/pope-timemag.

IN HIs FOURTH-cENTURY, reflective, autobiographical masterpiece, st. Augustine ponders the

ways that God has worked in his life. As he reflects on his life journey, he considers his story and

wonders where God has been in his pilgrimage. coming to a deep realization of the abiding

presence of God, he writes, “Late have I loved you, O beauty ever ancient, ever new.” Augustine

confesses that his life to that point had been filled with an exhausting search for God in all the

wrong places. He finally realizes that God has been with him all along. God, the ancient one, is

also always new, creative and the source of liberating imagination.

I think of Augustine’s insight as I review a year in the life of Loyola Academy. some things are

part of the ancient tradition of our catholic faith and the 105 years of Jesuit education at Loyola.

In a sense, some things never change; our core mission will always be to form young women

and men for meaningful lives of service and leadership as they prepare for college and beyond.

Rhythms and patterns of the year are very familiar. And yet, our mission of Jesuit education is

always new here at Loyola. Every day is another opportunity for members of our community to

respond more generously to God’s invitation to become the people we were sent into this world

to be, manifesting God’s creative newness with awe-inspiring energy.

I see this ever-emerging newness in the ways that our community has attempted to inte-

grate technology into our shared learning. such powerful tools have made their way into our

classrooms as our one-to-one iPad initiative has been rolled out over the last 18 months. There

are so many new and exciting dimensions to this experience, such as flipped classrooms and

increased collaboration among teachers and students as they learn together in teams. The

newness is thrilling, but there is something very ancient embedded in this new reality as well.

We work hard to remember that these technological innovations are simply tools to assist us in

our very old mission of education and formation. The great human questions framed within our

catholic and Jesuit traditions remain our core purpose for learning. We continue to see all of our

learning as a quest to engage God’s good creation in a reflective conversation about who we are

and who we are called to become. Learning and technology…ever ancient, ever new.

As I reflect on these last 12 months at Loyola, I find myself filled with gratitude. We are

blessed by 2,000 students whose families have chosen this place to be their home away from

home and a center for learning and formation. I am grateful for our phenomenal, talented faculty

members who daily engage the great questions with zeal and imagination. I am grateful that

Loyola Academy is such a vibrant community—–fully aware of its mission to be an imaginative

Jesuit faith and education center for our students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff. We are

charged up and thankful for the inspired leadership of a new Jesuit pope who burst onto the

scene in 2013 and revived the imagination and joy of a worldwide church we call home.

How blessed we are to have journeyed this past year with all of its highs and lows in the sure

and certain knowledge that our God, ever ancient and ever new, companions us each step of the

way. Here’s to a creative, imaginative, hope-charged 2014!

Here’s to a creative, imaginative, hope-charged 2014!

A version of Fr. McGrath’s letter was published in the Wilmette Beacon on January 2, 2014.

A4 | LOYOL A MAGA ZINE

It was 6:15 on a snowy December morn-

ing and sarah Hamilton was already on

the job, scouring a stack of local and na-

tional papers and logging on to the local

news websites to get a jump on the day’s

news. By 7 a.m., she was on the phone

with Mayor Emanuel, giving him a quick

overview of the news stories that were

likely to have an impact on their day and

discussing an upcoming press conference

announcing the city’s new task force on

domestic violence.

And that was before Hamilton had

even left her Lincoln Park apartment to

tackle the controlled chaos of the Mayor’s

communications Office at city Hall.

It was the usual rapid-fire start to a day in

Hamilton’s life as Rahm Emanuel’s director

of communications.

But, then, fast starts are business as

usual for this ambitious 32-year-old, who

has channeled her passion for politics, her

skill as a communicator and her ability to

think on her feet into a high-profile career

as a spokesperson for some of America’s

most prominent politicians.

Colleen a. Clennon ’99, a Loyola

classmate and close friend, recalls that

Hamilton’s driven pursuit of excellence was

evident even during their Rambler days.

“sarah was a multi-sport athlete and

an honors student who loved American

history,” recalls clennon. “she was a

deep thinker even then. she had fantastic

relationships with her teachers, and she was

always introducing everyone she knew to

more mature experiences and more insight-

ful ways of looking at the world.”

Hamilton’s swift ascent into the high-

altitude world of presidential and mayoral

politics began, interestingly enough, as

a “Plan B” of sorts. After graduating from

Loyola Academy in 1999, she headed east to

Georgetown University’s school of Foreign

service to earn her bachelor’s degree in

foreign policy and international politics.

From there, she continued on to New York

University to pursue a graduate degree and

possibly a career in international relations.

In 2004, after her first semester at NYU,

Hamilton applied for an unpaid internship

working for the foreign policy advisor at the

clinton Foundation, which at that time was

a very new NGO in Harlem. she started in

January. Four months later, she was offered

a full-time position at the foundation.

And that’s when things got interesting.

Because the position wasn’t with the foreign

policy advisor. It was in Bill clinton’s press

office.

“The chief of staff at the foundation

approached me and said, ‘We think you’re

smart and talented, and we’d like to offer

you a job working in the press office do-

ing anything and everything—–from going

After parlaying an unpaid 2004 internship into a plum posi-

tion as deputy director of communications for the clinton

Foundation in Harlem, coordinating media on the cam-

paign trail for Hillary’s 2008 presidential bid and crossing

the continent to serve as senior press secretary for the may-

or of L.A., Sarah a. Hamilton ’99 has returned to her home

turf to tackle the rough and tumble world of chicago poli-

tics as communications director for Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

THE RAMBLER IN RAHM’S OFFICE

through the papers every morning and

clipping stories that would be of interest to

the foundation to writing clinton’s briefing

memos, talking points and formal remarks,

working with the senior staff to hit just the

right note.’”

Hamilton would also be charged with

assisting in the development of long-term

press strategies for major foundation initia-

tives such as the clinton Global Initiative,

the clinton HIV/AIDs Initiative, the clinton

climate Initiative and the Alliance for a

Healthier Generation.

Never one to shy away from a

challenge, she seized the opportunity.

Despite the steep learning curve, she

continued to pursue her NYU graduate

studies at night, completing the two-year

program in a year and a half with a perfect

4.0 grade point average.

“I was working seven-day weeks—–and

then some,” she recalls with a chuckle.

“There were a lot of really late nights and

really early mornings.”

Three years later, she was promoted

to deputy director of communications.

“It was a remarkable period,” Hamilton

muses. “I was, for all intents and purposes,

a kid working for the former president of

the United states. clinton was Jesuit edu-

cated as well, and his conviction that we all

have a greater purpose—–that we are not

here to sit idly by when there are prob-

lems in the world to be solved—–had a

tremendous impact on me. It was an expe-

rience that could never be replicated—–an

opportunity to learn from one of the best

communicators and politicians that we are

going to see in many years. My years at

the foundation have had a big impact on

what I do now as a communicator charged

with putting forth a message.”

Over the next four years, Hamilton’s

ability to keep a cool head in the pressure

cooker of American politics opened

doors to a mind-boggling array of

career opportunities. she zigzagged

across the country managing media and

campaign messaging for Hillary clinton’s

presidential primary campaign and then

headed out to the West coast to handle

press duties for Los Angeles Mayor

Antonio Villaraigosa.

But mayoral terms come to an end.

With that reality looming on the horizon,

Hamilton made the decision to return to

her native city to run the press shop for

the chicago Police Department.

Hamilton had spent a mere four

months flacking for the city’s police com-

missioner when the mayor’s office came

knocking. she signed on as director of

communications for Rahm Emanuel in

December 2011.

Today, Hamilton heads up a team of

15—–including two deputy directors of

communications, one press secretary,

three assistant press secretaries, press

aides, a speechwriter and a rotating cast of

interns. Her days are action-packed and of-

ten unpredictable. But this is what Hamilton

thrives on.

“I love working in city government,”

she confides. “Everything that I’ve done so

far has honed my skills for this role and led

me to this point. There are days that are

challenging, but it’s a great feeling to know

that I’m serving the city and its taxpayers.

I’ve always been drawn to public service—–

and that stems from my Jesuit education

and my desire to improve the lives of others

in any small way that I can.”

’s Dinner 2013

IN NOVEMBER, the Loyola community stepped out to support our

Jesuit mission and pay tribute to the late Joan F. and William J. Lavezzorio ’46, who were honored in memoriam with the Rev. Daniel A.

Lord, sJ, Award for Distinguished service in the cause of Youth.

“It is a privilege tonight to celebrate a great couple and their

extraordinary legacy,” commented Fr. McGrath as he gazed out at

nearly 600 elegantly attired guests gathered in the chicago Hilton’s

Grand Ballroom. “We have all been touched by the legacy of Joan and

Bill Lavezzorio, their children, their generosity to so many exceptional

charities, their great love and their great devotion to Loyola Academy.”

“We know our parents are watching over this event tonight—–if for

no other reason than they would never miss a good party!” quipped

Gilmore Lavezzorio-brennan after accepting the award on her family’s

behalf. she went on to describe her parents as “two people who simply

tried to do God’s work using the gifts that He gave them.”

Carry on the Lavezzorios’ legacy by contributing to the Joan F. and William J. Lavezzorio Scholarship. For more information or to make

firmly believed in the power of faith

and education—–and they worked dili-

gently to offer both to young people

through their lifelong support of Loyola

Academy. They

quietly paid

the tuition

of numerous

Ramblers in

need, support-

ed the renova-

tion of Loyola’s

chapel in the

1970s and gave

unstintingly of their time and financial

resources to help ensure the success

of our Ramble auction during its early

years.

After Bill passed away at the

age of 50, Joan continued to devote

her life to helping others by serving

on the boards of the Big shoulders

Foundation, the cabrini Mission

Foundation, catholic charities of

chicago, the catholic Theological

Union, the Gregorian University

Foundation, LINK Unlimited, Loyola

Academy, the Mazza Foundation, st.

Francis Hospital and the st. Joseph’s

Hospital Auxiliary.

In the 1980s, she generously

funded new bleachers for Loyola’s foot-

ball stadium and began a six-year term

as the Academy’s first female trustee.

Later, she was instrumental in support-

ing a second major chapel renovation

through the Mazza Foundation, as well

as the development of a 12-part docu-

mentary on the Spiritual Exercises of

St. Ignatius.

“Joan and Bill Lavezzorio are leg-

ends in the story of Loyola Academy,”

reflects Fr. McGrath. “Their legacy

of charity and generosity is dramatic

testimony to the faith and spirit of a

dynamic catholic couple.”

Hoops and Hope for EmmanuelThe members of our boys’ Varsity basketball team dedicated their play-

ing season to emmanuel Sarpong ’16, who collapsed during basketball

practice in June 2013. Emmanuel was rushed to the hospital, where physi-

cians discovered an undiagnosed heart condition.

In December, the team sponsored a Sarpong awareness Night,

which raised more than $15,000 from gate and concession revenues, a

Healing for Emmanuel raffle and donations from the Loyola community

to help cover the cost of Emmanuel’s long-term care at the Rehabilitation

Institute of chicago. The benefit also featured some inspired action on

the basketball court as our girls’ and boys’ teams competed against their Evanston rivals.

Emmanuel’s fellow players on the boys’ team beat Evanston 65-57.

We are appealing to our global community of Loyola alumni, parents, students and friends to help the sarpong family pay for the rapidly escalating medical costs associated

with Emmanuel’s continued rehabilitation. To lend your much-needed support, please donate

50 Years and Still Men for OthersFIFTY YEARs OF LIFE AFTER LOYOLA is a major milestone, so the members of the Class of 1963 decided to

commemorate their 50th reunion last June with a grand gesture: a class gift of $53,000 to establish a scholarship for

Ramblers in need.

The gift will be used to fund a $10,000 Class of 1963 Scholarship for one Rambler each year for five

consecutive years. When the class celebrates its 55th Reunion in 2018, the members plan to fund another

scholarship to help more Ramblers.

But this spirited reunion celebration wasn’t just about giving. It was also about reconnecting as nearly 80 alumni

rambled in from all over the country to commune with their former Loyola classmates.

“Both during and since the reunion, our classmates have been extraordinarily generous with their praise and

gratitude,” the reunion committee reported in a post-event letter. “They enjoyed the golf outing, the cocktail

party, the architectural tour, the dinner and the school tour. In particular, the Mass touched hearts, with its votive

procession commemorating our deceased classmates, while classmate Deacon John Lucas assisted Loyola

President Rev. Pat McGrath, sJ, in celebrating the Eucharist. Later, during dinner, our veterans were formally

recognized, while the inimitable Pat Boyle, sJ, appeared in person to be cheered for his dual silver stars service to

us and our country. It doesn’t get better than this!”
