W E L C O M Eto Jesuit Today. In this edition, we celebrate our community’s diverse gifts, experiences and history. The cover presents the Class of 2012 during Senior Community Days—an experience that generations of alumni identify as pivotal in forging the bonds of brotherhood that last a lifetime. We find that—at Jesuit— those bonds now transcend race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status and a variety of other attributes, but we learn that today’s unity is the result of principled decisions and brave actions by generations of leaders and students. We visit today’s Diversity Department to understand its mission; and we glimpse the challenges faced by Charles Edmond ’58 and Arthur Allen ’59 when their entry into Jesuit High School made them the first black students to integrate a Dallas school.

As the We Are Jesuit campaign winds down, we bring views of the new athletic center and share a preview of the baseball stadium, scheduled for completion in the coming months. The remarkable physical transformation of campus through the campaign will benefit students for years to come and we ask for the support of the entire community to help complete funding for the improvements.

Finally, we bring you news from alumni—recent grads and those who last walked the halls decades ago—who remain an important part of the Jesuit Dallas community.

Faculty, students and alumni join in the fun during Homecoming weekend.

Message from the President

When you hear the word ‘diversity’, what comes to mind? So much of how we define the word comes from our personal context. When diversity is defined through the eyes of Jesuit, we see 1,000 students who come from more than 125 elementary and middle schools. Some belong to families that have a mom and dad; some are raised in families where love is channeled through a family friend, grandparent or sibling; and others come from backgrounds that reflect everything in between. We have students slightly over three feet tall and those approaching seven feet. We have students who come from wealthy families and students who live within very meager means. Although

Jesuit is highly Catholic, we welcome students who represent many religions. We have students whose Jesuit legacy goes back many generations, and students who are the first in their family to attend high school.

I could continue listing differences that contribute to our diversity, but what Jesuit ultimately sees is young men who are trying their best to become Brothers, all on the path of formation—spiritually, physically, intellectually, and emotionally. There is great diversity among students when we consider where they are on this path. We have to remember that formation does not have an end point; for if we truly manifest the desire to be formed for God, as Ignatius might put it, we never arrive. Every day is another day to examine where we are, who we are and how we work at listening to God’s voice and serving Him as we should.

When I reflect on the multitude of experiences and gifts among our students, I am reminded of a story by author Andy Andrews. In the 1940s, Dr. Norman Borlaug was the first to successfully hybridize high-yield drought- and disease-resistant corn and wheat, enabling crops to grow where they previously could not. That work is credited with saving more than two billion humans from famine.

Borlaug was hired to run the lab on hybridization by Henry Wallace who, before becoming the second of FDR’s three vice presidents, was the Secretary of Agriculture. Wallace became interested in agriculture as a small boy tagging along with his father, a dairy science professor, and the professor’s brilliant young student. The brilliant collegian whose love of plants rubbed off on the little six-year-old Wallace was George Washington Carver, famous for his work with peanuts and sweet potatoes.

Which of these men should share in the credit for this life-saving breakthrough? Clearly, the answer is that all of them contributed to saving those lives. Similarly at Jesuit, our diversity is our strength. Who can know how many of our students—past, present and future—will contribute positively to the world, helping to realize the Kingdom of God in the whole of human society.

This realization of God’s work fills me with a sense of awe and thanksgiving every day.

Michael A. Earsing

M I S S I O N S T A T E M E N TJesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas offers young men an excellent, Catholic education in the classical Jesuit tradition with the purpose of forming a community of men of high moral principles and service to others.

Jesuit UPDATENEWS + NOTES

The Gift of Life

The Jesuit community has a long history of showing tremendous support for blood drives so it was no surprise that turnout for the first-ever marrow donor registry in November 2010 was also robust. Among those who registered was a member of the Jesuit community who was found to be the only match for a man in Germany. The transplant, which occurred almost exactly a year after the Jesuit drive, offers this man his only treatment option for leukemia. Patty Leyendecker, the organizer of the marrow registry drive whose son Eric graduated from Jesuit in 2011, commented that “it’s good to be reminded that one person really can make a difference—this donor did!” For more information about bone marrow transplants, visit www.marrow.org

Third Class of Alumni Service Corps Contributes to Jesuit

When the 2011-2012 school year began, three young alumni joined the ranks of the Alumni Service Corps. They are spending the year teaching classes, helping with extracurricular activities and sharing in the life of Jesuit. (L-R) Neil DuRoss (Saint Louis University), Ian Berry (University of Texas), and David Pace (University of Arkansas), all members of the Jesuit Class of 2007, have devoted a year of their lives to service to Jesuit. Members of the Classes of 2007 and 2008 who are interested in learning more about the program should contact Jack Fitzsimmons or Fred Donahue.

New Alumni Director

In October, Jesuit Dallas welcomed a new alumni director. Kevin Mullan relocated from Toledo, Ohio, where he was the alumni director of his alma mater, St. John’s Jesuit High School. Kevin and his wife, Dani, are enjoying getting to know the city of Dallas and the Jesuit Dallas community. He is a graduate of Miami University and brings experience in media and the not-for-profit sector. Reflecting on the new member of the Jesuit team, Vice President of Advancement Chuck Vinson commented, “His understanding of the mission of Jesuit schools as well as his insight and experience will help our alumni community continue to support Jesuit Dallas students past, present and future.”

Homecoming 2011 brought Aaron Watson to entertain a sell-out crowd in the Terry Center before Grammy-award winner Randy Travis took the stage.

MAGIS Golf Classic

The annual MAGIS Golf Classic presented by LegacyTexas Bank brought 225 golfers and dozens of volunteers out to support the school while having a great time. The foursome of (L-R) Gary Wood, Pat McCaffrey, tournament chairman J.D. Dell, and Tom Reck was among those who came to play. Thanks to the generous support of Legacy Texas Bank and other tournament sponsors, the event raised almost $250,000 for the school. The 2012 tournament will return to Stonebriar Country Club on October 8, 2012.

Parents’ Challenge Drive (L-R) Steve Beach, Ted Tobolka ’78 and Phil Reinkemeyer celebrate the Class of 2012 victory in the 2011 Challenge Drive. With participation from more than 95% of current families, the 2011 drive was a resounding success. Commenting on the record-setting effort that raised more than $880,000, chairman Kevin Bartholomew said, “I am proud to be part of a community that comes together in such a powerful way to support the formation of Jesuit students.” Joe Coleman takes over as drive chairman for 2012.

Meals on Wheels

More than 200 students, alumni, family and friends of Jesuit passed up watching parades on television or joining the Turkey Trot to spend Thanksgiving morning helping the Visiting Nurses’ Association with Meals on Wheels. The Jesuit community has provided support for 19 years, ensuring that the elderly have a hot meal on Thanksgiving.

Christmas Bazaar

Hundreds of vendors, dozens of volunteers and thousands of shoppers made the 2011 JWA Christmas Bazaar a great success. With holiday and unique handcrafted items, there was something for every shopper. Proceeds from the event support student aid and programs.

Adopt-a-Family More than ninety families had gifts to open on Christmas because of the Jesuit Adopt-a-Family program. From clothing to toys to gift cards, the Jesuit community—alumni, students, parents and friends—came together to fulfill Christmas wishes of families in need. After weeks of shopping, volunteers gathered for Mass before wrapping and delivering mountains of gifts.

The Past on Display

New displays in the counseling common areas bring the early days of Jesuit Rangers baseball and football to life. The baseball display presents a 1951-52 team photo and a 1949 season ticket book as well as an early jersey for the team that played in the American Legion Junior League. Also on display is a pair of shoes donated by Joe Leverette ’46 who explains that many students could not afford new gear so it was common to hand items down to younger students; his shoes were originally worn by Donald Schmidt ’44. When Schmidt left to serve in World War II, he passed his shoes along to Leverette. The football display features an early letter jacket donated by Pat

Schnitzius ’45 as well as a photo of the 1942-43 lettermen wearing the first letter jackets awarded by the school and a copy of The Roundup with an article about the awards. Other photos feature the 1943-44 team and a game during the same era. A ticket stub and program commemorate two 1942 games played in the Cotton Bowl.

Recently Hughes Hall filled with students

during lunch periods throughout the day

to discuss discrimination, with particular

emphasis on the marginalization of women.

During the conversation, students of every

physical description asserted that racial

discrimination is virtually nonexistent at

Jesuit. However, most agreed with one

student’s observation that “we’re farther

in fighting racism than sexism.” As one

student explained, “We’re being raised with

a negative view toward any kind of bias. As

we move farther from generations raised with

racism and sexism, we’ll move farther from

discrimination.”

By any measure, the school has made great

strides overcoming discrimination since

1955 when Jesuit became the first school in

Director of Diversity Erik Burrell explains, “Beginning with freshman orientation, we teach students that diversity is about more than race.”

Dallas to desegregate by admitting students of

African descent. That year, freshman Arthur

Allen ’59 and sophomore Charles Edmond ’58

bravely entered the all-white school. Edmond

hints at the isolation he felt when he explains

that he received one phone call from a student

during his years at Jesuit, and that was in

search of homework help. Allen, a gifted

athlete, shares the pain of sitting out games

when opposing teams refused to play against a

black student.

While both men graduated and have praise

for the education they received and the

friendships they made, the experience wasn’t

without struggle. The thousands of students

who followed them through the halls of Jesuit

are indebted to these men and those who

came after them as well as an administration

committed to overcoming the social injustices

of discrimination.

Today, diversity at Jesuit and the world

outside its doors is defined beyond race,

encompassing socioeconomic background,

gender, athletic and academic ability, and

a variety of other factors. The Diversity

Department takes the lead in opening dialogue

and establishing programs to break down

these barriers, but the goal of freeing students

to confront social injustice permeates formal

instruction, the Community Service Program,

extracurricular activities and all aspects of

formation.

When he was an assistant principal, current

President Mike Earsing started the school’s

first Diversity Club. From there, it wasn’t long

before the school employed the city’s first

full-time director of diversity. The man who

has held that position since 2007, Erik Burrell

explains that “seeing each other’s individuality

makes us a stronger community if it unites

rather than separates us. We work to create an

environment where students feel they belong,

where they are part of a brotherhood and their

difference doesn’t prevent full membership.”

He measures the effectiveness of the school’s

diversity efforts in student success.

The HAP Program brings middle school students from disadvantaged backgrounds to Jesuit for enrichment that helps prepare them for success in a college-preparatory school.

continued from page 13

To help students from a variety of backgrounds

and experiences succeed, the Diversity

Department takes a three-pronged approach:

outreach, retention and awareness. Outreach

encompasses all the ways the school makes

itself known to diverse communities. One

example is the mentoring program that

pairs middle school students in the Higher

Achievement Program (HAP)—which

aims to help students from disadvantaged

backgrounds—with current Jesuit students.

The pairs of students attend a football game,

band concert and theater production, play

dodge ball, and work on academic skills.

Just as outreach to the community is not

limited to formal diversity programs, retention

efforts involve all areas of the school including

academics and counseling. However, the

Diversity Department works to retain students

from socioeconomically disadvantaged

backgrounds by providing assistance including

lunches, uniforms and textbooks. The

Multicultural Society and activities throughout

the year strive to create an environment in

which all are comfortable.

Awareness is the aspect of the Diversity

Department that directly involves every

student in the school, and often the

community beyond. The recent student lunch

discussion of discrimination is one of many

Diversity at Jesuit: A Look Back

Guided by the Jesuit commitment to human dignity and rights, Jesuit High School’s president and principal, Fathers Shields and Kammer, decided to open the school’s doors to students of African descent. Arthur Allen ’59—the son of a prominent business leader—was the first applicant. Although he would eventually come to appreciate his Jesuit experience, Arthur was not happy about his family’s decision to send him to Jesuit. He recalls, “I didn’t want to attend. I didn’t know anyone at Jesuit and it wasn’t near my neighborhood.” Recognizing the potential difficulties of a single black student, the administration selected another student with excellent academic credentials, Charles Edmond ’58. His greatest apprehension was that he would let people down. He reminisces, “I envisioned something similar to Jackie Robinson—what happened when he integrated the major leagues, the harassment he got. But

at Jesuit there was no racial backlash, no bullying. Jesuit grew on me, and I enjoyed it.”

When the two young men joined the student body on September 1, 1955, Jesuit High School eliminated the remnants of Jim Crow laws on campus. The world outside

took longer to change. Edmond describes sitting next to classmates at school but having to sit at the back of the city bus holding the same students on his way to and from campus. In a 1955 letter to the Provincial, Father Shields describes the difficulty of integrating black students into Jesuit life in a segregated world. He describes both Charles and Arthur going out for football and being “fully accepted by teammates; again no problem whatever. Both were told, however, that in the event we are playing a school which refuses to play against a team with a Negro on it, they will not be on the bench or in the game. Both boys fully understood.” While he may have understood, Allen remembers the pain of being called

to the principal’s office the morning of football games, knowing that he would be told the opponent refused to play if he suited up. Similar concessions were made for off-campus social events.

Edmond, the first black man to graduate from Jesuit High School, graduated cum laude from Grambling State University with a degree in math. He devoted his career to secondary education, where he taught math and served as dean of students before retiring as an assistant principal. Allen graduated from Marquette University and built a successful business. He was honored by Jesuit as the Distinguished Alumnus in 1994. To read more about their experiences, please visit www.jesuitroundup.org for a three-part series about the history of racial integration at Jesuit written by Payton Maher ’13.

events it sponsors. Inspired by What Makes A

Jesuit School Jesuit? published by the Society

of Jesus in the United States in 2007, which

states that “A Jesuit education should aim to

free its students to confront honestly the social

injustices of racism, sexism, and religious

intolerance. Schools should work to instill in

their students a willingness to collaborate with

others…with all who strive to make a world fit

for men and women to live in,” the Diversity

Department creates opportunities for students

to reflect, discern and take action.

Toward that end, the department leads the

exploration of one topic each year. This year,

the program focuses on topics of gender. The

beginning of the discussion was timed to

coincide with the Jesuit Theater production

of Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named

Desire, which explores social issues including

the marginalization of women and domestic

abuse.

An evening program that included students

from several schools as well as parents

and faculty began with scenes from the

play followed by a discussion of the issues

presented. At a subsequent Friday Prayer

Service that focused on respect toward women,

Jesuit stays involved in the community throughout the year and brings middle school students from diverse communities to campus.

Jesuit students were surprised to hear

some of the comments from that evening.

As one student left the prayer service, he

admitted that he “never realized how girls

see some jokes as hurtful.” Theology classes

continued the dialogue as did an online

forum and the lunchtime discussions.

As the conversation in Hughes Hall

drew to a close, a student observed that

sexism might outlast racism because

racial divisions are a relatively recent

invention while gender differentiation has

been present as long as there have been

humans. A classmate concluded that social

differences might be natural but legal

differences—such as allowing different

pay for the same work—that marginalize

women or any group of people cannot be

allowed.

Erik Burrell commented that he

appreciated the students’ genuine

reflections and was pleased to know

of several who came to an improved

understanding of social injustice. Of his

hope for the Diversity Program, he says, “I

want there to be no doubt that Jesuit is a

place where all are truly welcome.”

We Are Jesuit Campaign Nears CompletionBarely a corner of campus lacks improvements made possible through the We Are Jesuit campaign. Jesuit Dallas now boasts a beautiful and functional library that’s always a hive of activity, new and renovated classrooms where the environment enhances learning, counseling suites where students congregate throughout the day, Hughes Hall which hosts formal or informal meetings from morning to night, new athletic training facilities that improve student fitness and athletic performance, and an athletic stadium that improves the experience of fans and competitors alike. When upgrades to the baseball stadium are complete this spring, the We Are Jesuit campaign’s physical

transformations will be complete. In addition to these improvements, the campaign strengthened the school’s endowment to provide increased financial stability and flexibility.

When the dust settles on the final improve-ments, the work of paying for these changes—with a total cost of $30 million—will not be finished. If you have not yet contributed to the campaign, please visit www.jesuitcp.org/WeAreJesuit to make a pledge or gift. Generations of Jesuit students will benefit from the generosity of those who made the campaign a success and transformed the campus.

Completed in October 2011, the 41,000 square foot athletic center houses training facilities, locker rooms and coaches’ offices.

Alumni in the NewsGerald Blaszczak, S.J. ’67 has been called to Rome to serve as Secretary for the Service of Faith, one of three secretariats based at the Jesuit Curia in Rome. The Curia coordinates the worldwide work of the Society of Jesus, the largest religious order of men in the Catholic Church with a presence in virtually every country in the world. He will support Jesuits worldwide in advancing Ignatian Spirituality and pastoral work. According to the Most Rev. Adolfo Nicolás, S.J., Superior General of the Society of Jesus, his responsibilities will include the promotion of “dialogue and reflection on the relationship between faith and reason, culture and moral issues, and also between the Church and society.”

In his most recent role as Vice President for Mission and Identity at Fairfield University, Father Blaszczak came to be known for inspirational homilies, concern for the community and enthusiasm for celebrating religious, racial and social-economic diversity. He explains the role of Jesuit Dallas in his formation when he describes the impact of attending the only integrated high school in the city. He says he was profoundly affected by the Jesuits who, sometimes at great risk, helped students recognize the rich Mexican culture around them and the issues facing their African-American peers. He concludes, “They were guided by an inclusive vision and a vision of social justice that was humane.”

Father Blaszczak has served as a pastor, rector, and college professor from New York to Nairobi. Of the appointment, Father Blaszczak says, “While I am humbled by the scope of my new job, I am eager to be involved in projects which I deem so valuable and which have been so close to my heart throughout the years of my Jesuit ministry.”

Alumni in the NewsWhile still a student at Jesuit, 1989 graduate Tres Fromme was already designing landscapes and hints of his work remain in the courtyard between Halls A and B, a garden he designed and built with the Horticulture Club. Describing Jesuit’s influence, Fromme explains, “Jesuit maintained an atmosphere conducive to creative exploration and risk-taking. It also welcomed eccentric personalities.”

He went on to earn degrees in both horticulture and landscape architecture, a background that has enabled him to make a major impact on public garden design. He credits his success to the Jesuit emphasis on critical thinking, which is essential to planning and design, as well as the written and oral communication skills instilled by teachers including Gretchen Haviland and Sheryl Row. Particularly important to his formation was a senior seminar that helped him recognize relationships between visual and performing arts as well as literature, history and science. His work can be seen at notable venues including the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Longwood Gardens and the United States Botanical Garden. A lecturer in architecture at the University of Texas, Fromme was named a “tastemaker” by Food & Wine Magazine in 2004, and has been published in the journal The Public Garden as well as Landscape Architecture Magazine and American Gardener.
