    Legacy, Tradition, Excellence

    Celebrating

    1964

  • Message from the President

    Greetings to all of you from Bishop DuBourg High

    School! I have become re-energized by the mission

    of Bishop DuBourg since becoming President on

    July 1, 2013. As previous administrators so often

    stated: it is the people of Bishop DuBourg – students, parents,

    faculty and staff, alumni and other stakeholders – who are the

    precious treasure of our mission. The people of Bishop DuBourg

    make all of our planning and efforts to educate our students and

    form disciples worthwhile, enjoyable and fruitful.

    Our Faith Formation Team (FFT) recently completed an assess-

    ment of our faith formation program which can be found on

    our website at www.bishopdubourg.org/db/faith-service. This

    assessment re-affirmed many of our efforts in Religion classes,

    campus ministry and maintaining a Catholic culture at Bishop

    DuBourg; it also pointed out some specific recommendations

    for improvement. Please read the abridged version (11 pages) or

    full version (117 pages) on our website. I am grateful to the entire

    team, especially Dr. Mike Bahr and his wife, Dr. Christine (Nauert)

    Bahr, DB ’76, who led the effort.

    Academically, we continue to serve a wide variety of students.

    We pride ourselves on being a comprehensive school that can meet

    the needs of the academically gifted and those who significantly

    struggle with learning. Our co-ed makeup also enriches our

    diversity. This year, our Academy of Advanced Studies inducted 19

    students from the class of 2018 and three from the class of 2017.

    Chief Dennis Jenkerson ’76 served as keynote speaker.

    As Bishop DuBourg ventures into the future, we are examining

    ways to improve our gym roof, our technology infrastructure and

    services, science labs and endowment. Our Board and various

    teams are helping us discern ways to fund these improvements

    and involve our stakeholders in the process.

    On April 23rd & 24th, we will host an External Review Team

    Visit as part of our AdvancED school accreditation process.

    During this visit, the team conducts interviews, reviews school

    documents and student performance data and makes profes-

    sional observations to determine the degree to which the school

    meets Standards for accreditation. We will use the findings from

    the team to further our continuous improvement efforts.

    In Jesus Christ our Savior,

    Rev. Michael J. Lydon

    advisory Board news:

    Bishop DuBourg re-vamped its Board structure in 2013-14 by start-ing a Donor Development Team that helps our Advancement Office in recruiting for and promoting our events, helping with alumni reunions, and increasing participation in our DB Forever Annual Fund. We

    also established a Facilities Team to help us prioritize and plan our capital

    improvements. A Solar Panel Team was formed in May, 2013 to help oversee

    the installation of one solar panel array on our easternmost roof that covers

    the Music and Family and Consumer Science classrooms. Our DB Advisory

    Board of Education meets three times per year; members of this “big board”

    meet regularly in regular team meetings. Members of these teams, as well as

    our DB Advisory Board, can be found below.

    2 The Cavalier

    In March of 1964, the Cavalier basketball team brought home Bishop DuBourg’s first State Title. This team’s “red-clad conquest” left their mark in Bishop DuBourg history. The ’64 team played for

    State in the Washington University Field House vs. the

    Parkview Vikings and clinched the title with a 62-52

    victory.

    On March 8, 2014, the 50th anniversary of their

    historic achievement, the team received the highest

    athletic honor a DB alum can achieve — induction into

    the Athletic Hall of Fame (see Hall of Fame story on

    page 16).

    The DB community wanted to connect the ’64 team

    with the current student body, allowing them to meet

    firsthand DB history. Members of the team returned

    to their old stomping grounds and were honored at

    the Winter Pep Rally. Standing in center court of the

    gym where it all started, the members of the ’64 team

    received a standing ovation from an enthusiastic DB

    crowd. Showing that age hasn’t slowed them down,

    they competed in a free throw contest. Our “Rowdy

    Crowd” gave them the cheers they deserved. The 2014

    Varsity basketball team was honored to meet these leg-

    endary Cavaliers whose 1964 victory still echoes in the

    main lobby and in Ray Bayens Alumni Hall where their

    memorabilia is proudly displayed.

    That same evening our legendary team returned

    to campus for a recep-

    tion. They were guests

    at the Varsity basket-

    ball game vs. Kennedy

    Catholic High School.

    At halftime the ’64

    Cavaliers signed a

    basketball commemo-

    rating their 50th anni-

    versary. Standing at half court in the Floyd Hacker Gymnasium

    the team of ’64 received yet another standing ovation. Their DB

    spirit is still going strong even after 50 years — once a Cavalier

    always a Cavalier! The celebration confirmed the DB motto

    that every day truly is a “Great Day to be a Cavalier!”

    2014 Academy inductees

    The Academy of Advanced Studiesadvance, achieve, succeed

    The Academy of Advanced Studies was established in 2012 to offer students a rigorous academic pro-gram. DB faculty and staff challenge their students to achieve an extremely high level of academic excellence.

    We want our students to realize that their talents are a gift

    from God, to be developed and used for others.

    Students are accepted into the program during admis-

    sions. Space in the program is limited for each grade level.

    Students must score 85% or above on standardized tests

    and/or have a B+ average to be considered as candidates.

    Each year the students enroll in an Academy Seminar

    Course in Social Studies or Religion and in courses designed

    as enriched, honors, advanced, or college credit. These

    classes move fast and require independent work.

    Students in the program have additional gradua-

    tion requirements. They must take 16 enriched, honors,

    advanced, college credit or seminar courses during their

    four years. They must exemplify hard work and responsibil-

    ity, demonstrate leadership, respect for others, maintain

    excellent attendance, and have at least a 3.5 G.P.A.

    Now in its third year, the Academy boasts members of

    the Classes of 2015, 2016, and 2017 for a total of 49 students.

    The Academy welcomed 19 new students from the Class of

    2018 and three from the Class of 2017 during an induction

    ceremony on March 13, 2014.

    Each year the Academy hosts a guest speaker. The

    2012 inaugural class welcomed Colonel Jeannie M. (Flynn)

    the sweet sound of victory

    For the first time in recent history at Bishop DuBourg our Cavaliers were represented in both the Missouri All-State Choir and the Missouri All-State Jazz Band.

    For junior bassist Nathan Pence (right) and junior vocalist Jordan Wolk (left), the road to state began in October 2013 when they auditioned for the St. Louis All-District Jazz Band and St. Louis All-District Choir respectively. Both competed against talented high school students from throughout the St. Louis area for the chance to join these exclusive groups.

    Nathan, after being named an alternate last year, made the Jazz Band as the top high school jazz bassist in St. Louis.

    Jordan made the Choir as one of the top high school bass voices in St. Louis.

    Both young men performed successfully with these groups in November 2013.

    Their journey was not over. By making the St. Louis All-District ensembles, Nathan and Jordan then qualified to audition for top honors in the state of Missouri. In December 2013 both auditioned for their respective groups, competing against the best in the state. Amazingly, both young men were winners!

    Nathan made the All-State Jazz Band as the top high school jazz bassist, and Jordan made the Choir as one of the state’s

    top high school bass voices. Nathan and Jordan traveled to Osage Beach, MO at the end of January 2014 to perform with their ensembles at the Missouri Music Educators Association State Convention. Both performances were fantastic.

    So where do these talented young men go next? Both are getting ready to apply for the All-National ensembles. We wish them luck as they look to achieve this next prestigious honor.

    The accomplishments of these young men may not have been possible without the constant support and encourage-ment of Mr. Matt McKeever, DB’s Director of Music. In his second year on staff, Matt has made an immense impact on the music department and his enthusiasm can be felt school-wide (read his poem on page 9).

    1993 and is now the Commander of the 4th Fighter Wing

    at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, North

    Carolina. The 2013 Academy class welcomed Mr. Ken Page

    ’72, an actor known for his work on Broadway in Cats, The

    Muny, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Dreamgirls, and

    All Dogs Go to Heaven. This year’s inductees welcomed

    Mr. Dennis Jenkerson ’76, Chief of the St. Louis City Fire

    Department. He is a third generation St. Louis firefighter

    with over 30 years of experience.

    The Academy of Advanced Studies is an excellent

    opportunity for students to challenge themselves in and

    out of the classroom. They have travelled to Chicago and

    toured the Navy Pier, Willis Tower Sky Deck Observation,

    Shed Aquarium, Field Museum of Natural history, and

    the Art Institute of Chicago. They have Skyped with Jesuit

    Brother Bob Macke ’92 at the Vatican Observatory and

    with David Christian, co-founder (along with Bill Gates)

    of The Big History Project. This summer the students will

    visit Washington, D.C. to see the Library of Congress,

    the National Monument, the Smithsonian, and Arlington

    National Cemetery. Our Academy students will have an

    incredibly strong foundation to build their educational

    future on. The DB community is excited to see where life

    takes them next.

    Tupelo is located in the north-eastern corner of Mississippi, an area commonly known as the Hills Region. The birthplace

    of Elvis Presley, Tupelo is a city that

    serves as a regional hub, a mere 90

    miles from Memphis, TN. Tupelo is

    also the location where DB students

    volunteer outside of our state’s bor-

    der twice a year with the Northeast

    Mississippi affiliate of Habitat for

    Humanity.

    This summer DB will embark on

    a fourth trip down south to serve

    the less fortunate. Two faculty mem-

    bers, Mrs. Jen Duncan ’88, and Mr.

    Steve Radomski will accompany up

    to 12 students on this adventure. Our

    Cavaliers can expect to work hard on

    a variety of tasks from framing walls,

    shingling a roof, painting, or tiling

    while at the Habitat site.

    Although basic carpentry skills are

    learned on the trip, they are the least of

    the wonderful things students acquire

    from the experience. They will learn

    to give of themselves and exceed their

    expectations in skill and strength.

    Students meet the future homeowner

    and see firsthand the impact their

    service. They will learn that serving for

    the sake of others is beyond priceless.

    The students form a Christian com-

    munity as they work, pray, and reflect

    on their experience. They will see the

    fruits of their labors and they will be

    proud of their accomplishments.

    Instilling patience and hard work

    into this generation of teenagers —

    who are accustomed to today’s instant

    gratification culture — can be a cum-

    bersome task, but the service work

    of Habitat opens their eyes to see the

    world beyond themselves.

    At Bishop DuBourg, this Tupelo

    service trip enacts our motto, “Faith in

    Christ…Service to Others.” It is a liv-

    ing motto, one that is taught through

    experience. Some of life’s best lessons

    are learned outside the classroom,

    especially in Tupelo, Mississippi.

    SThe current population of Bishop DuBourg consists of students from all over the St. Louis area — diverse in race, religion,

    learning styles, and backgrounds.

    Despite their differences, they are

    all united under our mission, put-

    ting faith and Christ first and fore-

    most in our lives. DB is a Catholic

    institution where students are given

    countless venues to express their faith.

    One example is DB’s Pro Life Club,

    an extra-curricular outlet that pro-

    motes the value of life in its entirety

    — affirming life at every stage.

    Although abortion is a major con-

    cern with Pro Life, there are other fac-

    tors as well. As Catholics it is our job

    to make sure that people are properly

    cared for their entire lives up to their

    very last breath. Students are given

    the background and skills necessary

    to defend their stand for life. The club

    is moderated by Ms. Bridget Timoney

    and Mrs. Michon Pals.

    With over 50 participants, the Pro

    Life Club has been very active on cam-

    pus this academic year. They have

    hosted two blood drives in conjunc-

    tion with the American Red Cross.

    The group will participate in 40 Days

    of Life during Lent with a prayer vigil

    at St. Louis City Planned Parenthood.

    They will host Grandparents’ and

    Senior Citizens’ Day on Wednesday,

    April 9. They will conclude the aca-

    demic year with a collection for Sweet

    Cavaliers Defending Life — Womb to Tomb

    Babies at St. Mary’s Hospital in May.

    The group works closely with the

    DuBourg House. Adjacent to the

    DB campus, the DuBourg House is

    an assisted living residence run by

    Cardinal Ritter Senior Services. The

    Pro-Life Club hosted a Halloween

    party for the residents. The club

    raised funds and granted Christmas

    wishes for the residents, delivering

    gifts and serving meals at their annual

    Christmas party.

    Working with the DuBourg House

    is a worthy cause. The residents are

    thrilled to see the club members and

    the students learn to interact with the

    elderly, gaining an appreciation for the

    value of life at every stage.

    Pro Life Club activities reflect their

    motto of “respecting life from womb

    “A person is a person, no matter how small.”Dr. SeuSS

    to tomb” defending the rights of the

    unborn to the elderly.

    The most public forum the stu-

    dents have is the annual March for

    Life in Washington, D.C. This year

    33 students from the club travelled

    by bus to our nation’s capital for the

    March. Ms. Timoney and Mrs. Pals

    hope the students returned humbled

    by the experience and empowered to

    speak out against injustice.

    Jessica Lambert ’14 reflected on

    the trip saying, “I went on the Pro Life

    trip to D.C. because I believe in saving

    lives not ending them. It’s important

    to me that everyone, especially teen-

    agers, understand that. That’s what

    was cool about the March, thousands

    of young people standing up for what

    they believe in.”

    The Class of 1960 makes a Difference

    Standing before the new entrance to the Ray Bayens Alumni Hall are the members of the Class of 1960 who worked on the project (l-r): Jim Konersman, Bob Flynn, Bill Hogan, Clarence Moehl, Former President Kirk Boschert, President Fr. Mike Lydon, Al Hellwig, Bill Brush and Don Hagen. Not pictured is George DeWeese.

    The members of the Class of 1960 worked tirelessly to raise the funds for a new entrance to the Ray Bayens Alumni Hall. The

    transformation is impressive. Their

    efforts have made a substantial

    improvement to the school’s appear-

    ance, but more importantly, they have

    demonstrated how a class can make a

    difference for DB students.

    Alumni of Bishop DuBourg, your

    class can do the same! Your leadership

    can make an immense impact on the

    future of DB. Is there a project that

    you or your class would be willing to

    get involved with? Below is a list of

    current projects in need of funding.

    uSThe story of Becky Canino ’14 and Mary Mazzuca’s ’15 expe-rience of going to State for

    tennis is a wonderful example of how

    hard work and determination pays off.

    Their story shows that raising the bar

    only makes one work harder to attain

    a goal. In this case the goal was to earn

    the first State Banner for Tennis at DB.

    Becky’s first State appearance was

    Believe in the Banner

    in 2012 with her doubles partner Dory

    Bohac ’14, along with Laura Engel

    ’13 in singles. They were the first ten-

    nis players in the history of DuBourg

    to qualify for the state tournament.

    Becky and Dory lost both of their

    matches, finishing 16th, and seemed

    to be just in “awe” of the experience.

    Seeing so many good players in one

    setting can be a little intimidating.

    After that day, Becky set a goal for her-

    self to medal at State. She knew that

    the goal was lofty. She had just started

    playing tennis as a sophomore.

    For the 2013 season Mary Mazzuca

    ’15 was chosen as Becky’s doubles

    partner. Mary is a fierce competi-

    tor and had a strong will to work to

    actively get better. Mary had only been

    playing for one year, and had not yet

    had any Varsity experience. So, this

    “Have high expectations,

    strive for the best. Don’t become

    beaten down by your losses.”

    BECkY CANINO ’14

    Pictured left with Coach Steve Mense and Mary Mazzuca ’15

    past summer, Becky and Mary started

    playing together. Every doubles drill

    in practice, they did together. Every

    single regular season match, they

    played together. They just kept getting

    better and better every single day, to

    the point that they finished the sea-

    son with a 16-4 record, including a

    6-0, 6-0 individual sectional victory to

    advance to State, which is a bracket of

    only 16 doubles teams.

    The state tournament was held in

    Springfield, MO at the Cooper Tennis

    Complex. In the first round Becky and

    Mary treated it like any other match.

    They came out fast and won 6-1, 6-4.

    After that match, Becky recalled the

    sense of excitement coming on, and

    their “I think we can do this” attitude

    was born. They had a chance.

    A win in their second round match

    would guarantee a top four finish.

    From the first point, the match was

    highly competitive. After 2.5 hours of

    playing, Becky and Mary won a hard

    fought 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 match.

    That victory put them in the semi-

    finals. The next day they lost to the

    team that won the State Tournament.

    Both Becky and Mary were great rep-

    resentatives of DB. Coach Steve Mense

    commented, “They were wonderful

    examples for everyone on the team.

    Becky and Mary gave every other

    player hope that they can accomplish

    great things if they work hard enough.”

    Becky and Mary had attained their

    goal. A State Banner for Tennis now

    hangs in the gym.

    To Be a CavalierIf someone asks me what it means to be a Cavalier,I’ll tell them first to listen close, to please lend me their ear.For what it means to be a lucky member of this crew,Is something that we cherish more than anything we do.We Cavaliers know what it means to serve our fellow man,To lend help to the sick and poor in any way we can.We welcome those from walks of life that differ from our own,Invite them to our table so they will not sit alone.We strive to do our best in class, to work hard ‘til we’re done,But know that it’s important to make time for having fun!Have faith in Christ and serve each other — that is our greatest goal,To leave this school a better being in heart, mind, and soul.So if someone would ask me, I can be both loud and clear,For I know deep down what it means to be a Cavalier.

    Congratulations to senior Kyle Davis (above) who signed a letter of intent to play soccer at Montana State University-Billings. Kyle is also the recipient of the “Murph” Award, which honors Tim Murphy, a DB student who passed away in 1999. The “Murph” goes to the soccer player who reflects Tim’s legacy of an exceptional work ethic, leadership skills and integrity on and off the field.

    DB’s Robotics’ Team has led a trifecta in awards. They were awarded the prestigious Motivate Award for 2012-2013 FTC season, followed by a presentation of the FLL Volunteer of the Year Award for Eastern Missouri, because of the stellar FLL Qualifier they hosted back on October 26–27, 2013.

    The team also competed at SLU’s Chaifetz Arena on March 13–15 and took home the St. Louis Regional Engineering Inspiration Award. This award celebrates outstanding success in advancing respect and appreciation for engineering within a team’s school and community.

    This win allows the team to advance the FIRST World Championship which takes place on April 24–26 at The Edward Jones Dome/America Center. The DB team will be one of 400 teams competing in this event from all over the world. The event is free and open to the public.

    The Robotics’ Team continually raises the bar and is always actively improving. Thank you to moderator Ms. Ann Kelly who works tirelessly to provide opportunities for DB students to expand their expertise.

    The music was swinging and the stage was set on January 31 – February 1, 2014. The Alumni guild Theatre performed for two sold

    out audiences. Attendees were guided

    on a trip down memory lane for the

    Annual Musical Revue, Songs of the Big

    Bands. Eighteen alumni performed

    in the two act show which included

    iconic songs such as Boogie-Woogie

    Bugle Boy, Ain’t Misbehavin’, The Joint

    Is Jumpin’, the patriot song Get Some

    Cash For Your Trash, and the sultry

    standard Stormy Weather.

    Music for the evening was arranged

    and directed by greg Schweizer ’73.

    The band included five current DB

    Jazz Band students, and Band Director

    Mr. Matt McKeever on bass guitar.

    Current guild Director, Jim Leibrecht

    directed the staging, while three

    alumni, Denise (O’Connell) Turner

    ’87, Kathy (Quinn) piercy ’76, and

    Eileen Engel ’08 choreographed the

    dance numbers.

    The infamous Bishop DuBourg

    Swing Dancers, directed by Mr. Don

    Burrus performed as well. participants

    included alumni and current dancers.

    Additionally, current student guild

    members offered their talents to the

    production by working in the light and

    The Big Bands with a Big Bang“Gonna take a sentimental journey,

    gonna set my heart at ease”– Music by Les Brown and Ben Homer, lyrics by Bud Green

    sound booth, serving refreshments,

    and ushering attendees to their seats.

    This exciting show was a true col-

    laboration of the past and present.

    “It was a special show because of the

    very talented alums. This was the first

    time alums from the Swing Dancers

    were part of the performance. This

    show brought alums on stage from

    every decade since the guild began in

    1972. The chemistry of the performers

    was perfection. This was definitely the

    most enjoyable of the six revues the

    Alumni guild Theatre has done” said

    Mr. Leibrecht. Funds raised from the

    production will be directed towards the

    flooring and lighting updates needed

    in the Theatre. The guild thanks all

    who attended, volunteered, or donated

    to make the Revue so successful.

    DB VeterAns memoriAl Project

    Commemorating DB Heroes

    Bishop DuBourg honored our DB heroes in a special way. Gary Myerscough ’64 envisioned a Veteran’s Memorial to commemorate our alumni who served honorably in the Army, Navy, Marine

    Corps, Air Force, or Coast Guard. Gary’s idea was aided

    by the efforts of JoAnn (DeCarlo) Eckrich ’64 and the

    artistic talents of Christian Brother William Woeger ’63,

    F.S.C. The three worked tirelessly to collect the names of

    DB veterans, living and deceased, in conjunction with

    former DB President Kirk Boschert (pictured at right)

    who enthusiastically supported the project.

    Their vision became a reality last summer with the

    installation of Phase I of the project. Dedicated in

    memory of Mark Howard ’65, James Lipper ’64, and Jerry

    Aubuchon ’64, the memorial hosts 16 panels honoring

    269 DB veterans whose class years spans generations.

    The wall was dedicated and blessed on Veteran’s Day,

    November 11, 2013. Those honored on the wall and

    their families were invited to

    a prayer service with the stu-

    dent body. DB Eagle Scout

    members presented the

    Color Guard. The Veterans of

    Foreign Wars Legion Post 15

    processed in adding dignity

    and to the event.

    After prayer the crowd was

    led to the memorial where Fr. Mike Lydon blessed the

    wall and all whose names are on it. Gary Myerscough

    ’64 gave a passionate speech about what the memorial

    means to him (photo top left). The veterans were then

    welcomed to fellowship and a continental breakfast.

    Angela Calloni ’98 Director of Advancement Operations

    commented, “We are so proud of the rich history of

    Bishop DuBourg alumni serving our country. This

    memorial serves as a constant reminder of their sacri-

    fice and bravery for our current students and for future

    generations of Cavaliers.”

    Phase I cost $11,000 and was funded solely by the

    generosity of DB alums, family members and friends.

    Phase II is underway. The Advancement Office is

    continuing to accept names to be added to the wall (see

    form at the top of page 19). This is a “living” project that

    will grow as information on our DB veterans is received.

    To contribute to the Memorial Project please com-

    plete the bottom form at right and send it along with

    your tax-deductible payment. Your generosity is greatly

    appreciated.

    Have you considered establishing a charitable gift annuity as a way to make a gift to Bishop DuBourg

    High School and still receive a ben-

    efit for yourself and/or your spouse

    for the remainder of your lives?

    Interest rates on CDs and other fixed

    income investments have declined

    over recent years. Individuals are in

    search of ways to maintain cash flow,

    seek the security of guaranteed pay-

    ments and save on taxes.

    Charitable gift annuities are offered

    in four different types:

    Single-Life Annuity – an annuity

    payment to only one person for his or

    her lifetime.

    Spousal Joint-Life Annuity – an

    annuity payment to married couples

    (Upon death of the first annuitant,

    the remaining spouse is paid the full

    annuity payment during his or her

    lifetime).

    Two-Life Annuity – an annuity pay-

    ment to one person and then transfers

    to the second person upon the death

    of the first person.

    Deferred Gift Annuity – an annu-

    ity payment that can be deferred to a

    future date. (Date must be at least one

    year after the original contribution).

    With a charitable gift annuity you

    can choose to receive your payments

    quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

    enjoy a Guaranteed Payment for life!

    We are grateful for all members of the Bishop DuBourg Family who have remembered Bishop DuBourg High School through their Estate Planning. We’d like to acknowledge and thank those who have made the ultimate gift to Bishop DuBourg.

    Survival of the Fittest?“Survival of the fittest” goes to describe

    That only those on top are bound to survive

    I hate that phrase, ‘cause we each hold

    What it takes to move forward, strong and bold

    Bishop DuBourg is a faith-based place

    A nice variety — gender and race

    Coming together to learn and strive

    Wanting to make it; wanting to thrive

    The chains connecting each person here

    Are bound when we put our hearts in gear

    Today I saw a deed of acceptance

    The value “equality” took an entrance

    Practicing compassion, trying to find

    Our place in the world, peace in our minds

    Free from everything that ties us down

    DB helps establish that ground

    Showing us morals, right from wrong

    We do listen even when the day’s too long

    God’s greater plan is engraved in us

    As we seek to find it, we have to trust

    That this Catholic school will help us find

    Our fulfilling purpose that’s following behind.
