These are exciting times at the Academy. The 2013-2014 school year was filled with incredible successes. The year saw students published in prestigious science research journals; a Moot Court state championship; impressive college placements; volleyball, girls cross country, girls swimming and diving, and boys track and field finishing as state runners-up; seven student-athletes committing to play sports at the collegiate level; six Gilmour coaches selected for Coach of the Year honors; and an Annual Fund goal met on the heels of an “Evening in Paris,” which netted more than $450,000.

None of these wonderful successes would be accomplished without the support of many who shared the vision and leadership of Br. Robert Lavelle. With Br. Robert’s recent announcement about his stepping back from his role as Head of School, the Gilmour community pauses to reflect on all that he is and all that has transpired at the school we love. As he transitions from being Head of School, he will join efforts in guiding the school to the next threshold.

After much planning, we are launching an exciting, new fundraising project. Thanks to the generosity of Lorraine and Bill Dodero, who provided a lead gift of $5 million, we will be seeking funding to build a much-needed Center for the Performing Arts. While we are a long way from breaking ground, we are continuing with the planning and are so grateful for the generosity of the Doderos and the other families who have come forward to support this transformational project, which will enhance the experiences of current and new generations of students.

Gilmour has seen tremendous growth over the past 34 years with Br. Robert at the helm. However, in the midst of all the progress, one thing has remained constant – our mission as a Holy Cross school. It serves as a unifying source of strength for our Gilmour family. Every student and every faculty member who has walked the Gilmour grounds understands the importance and uniqueness of both our mission and the sense of community at Gilmour. And for that, we will be forever grateful to Br. Robert and the many who have helped make our Holy Cross mission a lived experience.

Gilmour Academy has been helping students find their unique voices academically, spiritually and personally since 1946. And now we want to hear how our alumni have further developed their voices in the world. This is your chance to share your comments and reflections on your Gilmour years, update us on your career or life’s milestones, or simply to connect with other Lancers. We’ll print a sampling of responses in this section in each issue and will include updates in the AlumNews. Email, write or call. We want to share your voice.

We can’t wait to һear from you!

Any Glen Oak or Gilmour alum who took algebra will well remember Dorothy Coerdt. And they’ll be pleased to know she hasn’t changed much since they last saw her.

The longtime honors algebra teacher retired from Gilmour 20 years ago. In a recent chat, the beloved Mrs. Coerdt, now 82, talked about her memories of teaching and what she’s been up to since she left Gilmour.

Q: You taught at Glen Oak for 16 years and Gilmour for nine. What got you into teaching?

A: I had a fight with my husband where he told me I was spending too much money. I told him, “I’ll show you, I’ll get a job.” I taught at the Orthodox Jewish Academy and got paid $24 a month. It wouldn’t even pay for my gas.

Q: What brought you here?

A: I called over to Glen Oak and asked if they could use a math teacher. They didn’t need one. But the following January, the head of the school left, the math teacher became the head of the school and I got the job as the math teacher.

Q: When you first retired, how did it feel?

A: When I left here, I couldn’t retire totally. I worked three days a

week at Hathaway Brown as a tutor and I subbed at University School and Orange. I did that for a number of years. The part-time jobs eased the transition.

Q: What are your fondest memories of Glen Oak and Gilmour?

A: I loved the people, I loved the kids. There are so many. I don’t think I ever had a bad class.

Q: Now that you’re fully retired, how do you pass the time?

A: I’m a people person. I’m stimulated by good conversation, so I try to get out of the house at least four days a week. I have two monthly lunch groups – my high school friends and a Gilmour group. I go to a lot of different restaurants as a result. I spend as much time as I can with my family. I also enjoy reading. My friend tells me my taste in reading is no more than the quality of a comic book. Q: Where do you live now?

A: I’ve been lucky. I’m still in my own house in Pepper Pike. I’ve got a house that we’ve been in for 46, 47 years. Sometime back I said, “I’m going to start clearing this out,’’ but I never really feel like it. I’m going to stay

there as long as I can. I still drive. I can still function.

Q: How long were you married?

A: My husband died a year-and-a-half ago. It’s hard and it’s not. He was so sick at the end, I actually prayed God to take him. He had Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and he died of leukemia. I kept him home as long as I could, but in August I had to put him in a home. He died the fifth of January. I think, in a way, people with Alzheimer’s are better off because they don’t know what’s going on.

Q: What else should people know about you?

A: When I retired, I thought to myself, “If I go someplace, I don’t want someone to come up to me and say, ‘Let’s play bingo.’ ” That’s not for me. What has kept me young is teaching these kids all these years, and I still keep in touch with a lot of them.

Since 1946, Gilmour students have had the opportunity to showcase their talents through performing arts – whether in drama productions, speech & debate or musical performances. We asked alums to share with us some of their favorite performing arts memories at Gilmour Academy. Here are some of their responses.


furniture will be screened to eliminate the use of toxic substances.

The new complex’s modern design will showcase two main performance spaces: the dance studio and the theater. Overall, it will blend the historic aesthetics of campus with a contemporary glass curtain and a focus on sustainability.

Community Inclusion The Center for Performing Arts will be more than an important enhancement to the curriculum and campus.

Like the chapel, ice arena and pool before it, the center will be open to the public. The intent is to partner with community arts and cultural organizations throughout northeast Ohio and share the center with outside students and families.

The new space will enable Gilmour to host playwriting contests, student presentations and community arts events, and it will diversify creative offerings for the 1,000 youths who attend Gilmour’s summer camps. Gilmour says it hopes to increase participation rates and programmatic offerings year-round.

Why It’s Needed Theater students past and present will recall doing costume changes and applying makeup in the cramped Fine Arts Building restroom, which is shared equally with audience members.

Constructed in the early 20th century as the powerhouse and garage of a local floral company, the Fine Arts Building was acquired by Gilmour in the late 1960s. It has not been updated in more than 30 years, since 1983. Compared with modern facilities on campus such as the new Athletic Center, it’s a relic struggling to meet the needs of 21st century students.

At 13,424 square feet, the current theater and classroom space is so dated, it stymies the development of programming and inhibits the school’s sharing its offerings with the community.

As it is, the building isn’t even used exclusively for fine and performing arts; Gilmour’s maintenance staff is housed in the basement and on the second floor.

While many students participate in drama and Gilmour’s speech and debate program, the Fine Arts Building’s lack of space cannot accommodate growing demand for those programs, much less encourage it.

Gilmour’s current theater has a total capacity of 100. Seating is limited, allowing room for 80 folding chairs. Spatial constraints also hinder the breadth of student productions, impacting everything from cast size to props used. Alums and administrators alike say the theater’s outdated acoustics are as problematic as its constricted space.

“The Fine Arts Building simply wasn’t built with the electrical needs of a modern theater/auditorium in mind,” says Rachel Kenney ’08, now a professional actor in New York. “It doesn’t have the resources or physical apparatus necessary for a theater, beginning with the stage.”

And that’s just for theater. With the building’s lack of space, music concerts take place in makeshift spaces on campus. The speech and debate program – which ranks in the top one percent of high school teams nationwide – practices in an improvised classroom in the corridor of the science department.

Imagine the Possibilities The need for a new, improved facility is there. In fact, alums such as Rick Lipton ’91, now a dialect coach to the stars, say a new performing arts center will be life changing for Gilmour’s aspiring performers.

“My professional success is the direct result of what Gilmour saw and developed in me, and we did it in a tiny, not very fit for purpose space,” recalls Lipton.

“Imagine what we could have done,” Lipton says, “if we had the kind of performing arts facilities that have been proposed.”

Dodero is confident her longtime vision will become reality. “It’ll happen,” she says. “I know it will. I’ve kind of dreamed it there.”

CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

Whenever Lorraine Dodero dropped her daughter Corinne Dodero Salvador ’02 off for school at Gilmour, she’d pass the Fine Arts Building and imagine in its place a much more modern performing arts facility.

She envisioned a building that would complete Gilmour’s educational offerings and make it a powerful contender in the region for generations to come.

Now, with the $5 million gift Dodero and her husband, Bill, recently pledged to the school, Gilmour’s Center for Performing Arts is a big step closer to materializing. The proposed $13 million facility will make for a prominent new gateway to campus, bringing Gilmour’s performing arts to the forefront literally and figuratively.

The project is off to a strong start with the Doderos’ gift and more than $500,000 in other pledges. But before the Center for Performing Arts can become a reality, Gilmour needs to raise an additional $7 million.

Gilmour already has strong academics and modern sports and visual arts facilities. With a new performing arts center in place, Gilmour students will receive a total education that “unifies the whole picture,” Dodero says.

The Vision It will be quite a picture. At 31,600 square feet, the proposed Center for Performing Arts will enable Gilmour to expand its creative offerings for all students, from preschoolers to high school seniors.

For students who aspire to work onstage or behind the scenes, the performing arts center will be a forum where they can fully showcase and develop their talents.

“The new Lorraine and Bill Dodero Center for the Performing Arts will provide creative space that encourages talented students to engage in ‘real-life’ experiences that affirm their developing skills and talents,” says Head of School Br. Robert Lavelle, C.S.C.

The proposed facility will include a mainstage theater with 350 seats; a little black box theater for smaller productions; a dance studio; and exhibition spaces.

The studio means Gilmour will be able to offer dance classes for the first time ever. Student actors, too, will have many more assets at their disposal. A larger stage, practice rooms, and costume and scene shops will enable drama students to partake in every aspect of the theater, from acting and set design to costume making and musical accompaniment.

And for speech and debate students, the center finally will provide a viable practice space and give the esteemed program more exposure. That’s because the exhibition space will be large enough to host regular season speech and debate contests and mock trial tournaments for schools across Ohio.

The state-of-the-art center can be Gilmour’s way of thanking students for their steadfast commitment to performance and speech programs already in place, says Associate Head of School J. Brian Horgan.

“The energy that students have put into those programs is admirable and awesome,” he says. “We’ll be providing them a venue that indicates our commitment to the continued success of those programs.”

In the contemporary, LEED-certified complex, fine arts on campus will meet the modern age at long last. The environmentally sustainable center will offer elevated theater seating, a cutting-edge sound system to enhance vocals, and “green” elements throughout.

Expect enhanced energy performance at every turn. To prevent solar heat gain and glare, exterior walls will be designed with a high-performance curtain wall and glazing system. Paints, wall graphics, carpeting and

After selling out the first performing night of this year’s spring musical, “The Wizard of Oz,” the halls of the Academy were abuzz with excitement. However, for members of Drama Club, the enthusiasm was coupled with apprehension. We knew we had a great show, but we also knew that technically the show was extremely complex. In order to do our actors and the show justice, multiple set changes were necessary, yet the antiquated stage in the Fine Arts Building made these simple tasks very difficult. If one person was out of place in the crowded stage wings or if one green panel was placed half an inch in the wrong direction, the illusion of Oz would have been ruined and the “wow factor” the show needed would have been lost. Ultimately, “The Wizard of Oz” ran successfully each night. But, as the stage manager for the production, I can only imagine how the show could have been enhanced by an updated, expanded theater.

When I first enrolled in Gilmour as a freshman, I was puzzled by the notion that this mere high school education was intended to equip me with the ability to have “the competence to see and the courage to act in creating a more humane and just society.” Three years later, I now understand. In addition to helping me in the classroom, the dedicated faculty members

who coach Speech and Debate, Mock Trial, Moot Court and Drama Club have served as a catalyst for much of my academic and personal growth.

Certainly, I am not the only one who has found inspiration and confidence through extracurriculars. Take a walk through the Fine Arts Building after school and you’ll see dozens of teenagers rehearsing speech pieces, singing or dancing. The limiting factor, however, is space. The Fine Arts Building, with all of its antiquated charm, lacks the area and technology to meet the demands of Gilmour’s highly driven, talented students.

A new Center for the Performing Arts would not only benefit students who are currently involved, but also would allow more students to pursue their passions. A larger stage would create opportunities for students to showcase their talents in stage design and costume production. Additionally, the expanded space would allow musicians to get involved. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, more space within the Center for Performing Arts will allow more Gilmour students to pursue their passions. Whether it be dancing, directing or debating, a new Center for the Performing Arts will inspire members of the Gilmour family to use their talents and grow in the positive, encouraging environment that is unique to Gilmour Academy.

Sean Kelley ’16 Gilmour Academy has an active drama program and its Speech and Debate program has molded individuals into strong competitors on both the state and national level. Both programs’ rehearsal and performance space, however, is limited to a classroom and a small theater within the Fine Arts Building.

With such a small stage and wing space, the theatrical productions have been limited to shows with small casts, little scenery

and barely any scene changes. As a bigger stage is implemented, more jobs will be created for tech crew, which will allow the Drama Club to include more members in the scenery department. Also, more room on the stage calls for more actors to fill the space. Due to an audience capacity of about 100, the Drama Club is unable to advertise outside of the school, but with greater audience capacity, the productions can serve as an example of Gilmour spirit for newcomers. A bigger audience calls for bigger sound, allowing students to be involved as the musicians for the musical. All different forms of art will be coming together to create masterpieces.

The new Center for the Performing Arts will also include a dedicated space for Speech and Debate practices. This will permit more students to be heard at once, which will help speed up practices for students involved in multiple extracurricular activities. There will be mirrors within the rooms for the students to watch themselves perform, which will help the students critique themselves to further the team’s success.

As the Center for the Performing Arts rises, so does the talent at Gilmour Academy. The actors and competitors are ecstatic about the idea of being able to rehearse and perform inside this high-quality building.

CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS

Cathy and Pat O’Rourke, whose daughter Grace O’Rourke ’08 was involved in drama at Gilmour, pledged $300,000 to the project. The Little Theater, a space within the center that will be used for smaller productions and practices, will be named in their family’s honor. Cathy O’Rourke says, “We were thrilled to be presented with this performing arts campaign opportunity and we are very grateful for the opportunity to continue the performing arts program with the Little Theater.”

After plans for the project were presented at the September Board of Trustees meeting, four more families came forward with gifts for naming opportunities.

Jon Wanders long has been known around campus as an innovative educator whose big ideas and drive have led to a more refined curriculum and enhanced professional development.

Wanders also happens to be an astute problem solver and inclusive leader. Others took note, and on July 1, Wanders took the helm as Gilmour’s Director of the Upper School.

“My ultimate responsibility is to make sure that we are all moving in one direction as a cohesive unit, and I am always thinking and working hard to facilitate that goal,” he says.

After earning his bachelor’s in English literature from Denison University and a master’s in English education from Vanderbilt University, Wanders has worked as an English teacher for 10 years, five of them at Gilmour. In fact, he’s still teaching one class this year. Students’ needs, therefore, long have been the focus of his decisions. And he’s seeing to it that students have a voice on campus.

“In some ways, I think students themselves are this great untapped resource at a school,” he says. “I think they should be just as involved in shaping the vision of the school as their teachers are. If we’re really serving our students, we ought to be hearing what they want to get out of their experience.”

Wanders brings to his position a sincere desire for the Upper School

community – including administrators, parents, teachers and students – to exchange ideas and collaborate.

“There is almost some sort of magic when many groups of people work together on something,” Wanders says. “I think the challenges our students are facing today, and will face once they leave Gilmour, are so ambiguous and complex that confronting them takes perspectives from very diverse experiences.”

Wanders impressed Gilmour leaders in 2012 with his adept oversight and administering of the College and Work-Readiness Assessment (CWRA). The CWRA is an independent assessment that gauges students’ analytical and problem-solving skills as incoming freshmen and again as outgoing seniors.

“Through role play and performance tasks, the CWRA helps us measure the things we think are most important,”

Wanders says. “Performance tasks are probably the most authentic sort of learning situation our students will face, no matter what type of career they go on to pursue. So on that level it was important to me.”

Overseeing the CWRA benefited Wanders in several ways that help him now as Director of the Upper School. First, he was able to work with teachers from other academic disciplines to empower students to become wise decision makers.

Most importantly, “trying to push it forward in our school helped to get me ready for the role I’m in now,” Wanders says. “It allowed me to take a big-picture look at the academic climate of Gilmour and see how we are doing in the classroom.”

Education in 2014 centers on problem solving and critical thinking, Wanders says, “and if we want Gilmour students to be successful in an outside environment, we have to think about what sort of world our kids are walking into when they leave our halls.”

“We һave to tһink about wһat sort of

wһen tһey leave our һalls.”


Gilmour veteran Elizabeth Edmondson eyes a curriculum that will prepare kids for life in the 21st century.

As the new director of the Middle School, Edmondson aims to advance education at Gilmour in the most modern of ways.

A savvy leader keyed into what’s relevant in today’s world, Edmondson comes to the position after chairing the Upper School English department and successfully guiding Gilmour through a comprehensive accreditation process with three different educational bodies simultaneously.

“It was a big job, but I was able to learn about everything that goes on here, from the business office to the Montessori program and everything in-between,” she says.

As she’s risen through the ranks at Gilmour over the past 11 years, Edmondson has proven herself an adept leader at every turn. As a longtime English teacher here, she says she was committed to running a classroom “that reflects the 21st century we live in.”

“One of my goals is creating a really rich, relevant learning environment

for students,” she says. “We want to have a curriculum that gives kids opportunities and allows them to think on their feet.”

With Edmondson at the helm, Middle School students and parents can expect technological tools in class and assignments centered on real-world problem solving.

Edmondson herself brings a powerful blend of practical experience and research to the director position. With a bachelor’s degree from the University of Akron and a master’s degree in reading specialization from Kent State University, she is nearing the end of her doctoral studies in curriculum. In the process, she’s gotten an inside look at major educational trends that will help her at Gilmour. The new director, a parent herself, also brings to the position enthusiasm

and an appreciation for young people. “I have a daughter in sixth grade at Gilmour’s Lower School, so I can relate to parents of Middle School students,” Edmondson says. “I know what the daily challenges are in working with kids this age.”

Edmondson taught English at Gilmour for 10 years. She knows the obstacles teachers and students face in the classroom, so she’s in a good position to nurture and encourage them on tough days.

“Those relationships with teachers, students and families are really important to me,” Edmondson says. “Gilmour is a great community. I feel fortunate to be a part of it.”

“Gilmour is a great community.

I feel fortunate to be a part of it.”



The Lower School and Montessori programs have a new director in Yvonne Saunders. Saunders focuses on student assessment and fosters a positive environment for students and teachers.

An experienced administrator and longtime Gilmour staffer, Saunders has worked at Gilmour in various capacities for 14 years – 13 of them at the Middle School.

There, she facilitated the move from the former Middle School building to the new one, launched the Middle School spring musical, implemented a more flexible schedule that allowed for year-round art and physical education, developed a program whereby qualified Middle School students could take Algebra I and physics at the Upper School, and more. For the past three years, Saunders also served as Gilmour’s director of Grade 1-12 curriculum.

With a master’s degree in religious studies from John Carroll University and another master’s in educational administration from the University of Notre Dame, Saunders is a strong proponent of Holy Cross education.

That fact, along with her passion for academics and a proven track record at Gilmour, made her a natural choice for Director of the Lower School.

“My ultimate goal and responsibility is to build upon the success the school has already experienced and to create a supportive and diverse environment where students can really thrive spiritually, academically and socially,” Saunders says.

Having served as the Director of Grade 1-12 curriculum, Saunders is well versed in education at Gilmour at every level. And parents can expect her to rely heavily on her curriculum expertise in leading the Lower School.

“My experience in dealing with Gilmour holistically, as the Early Beginnings to Grade 12 institution that it is, equips me to make informed decisions that will benefit Lower School students now while keeping an eye toward later stages of their Gilmour education,” she says.

Given Saunders’ passion for academics, parents and teachers can expect to see a re-energized focus on student learning under her leadership, with an emphasis on assessment.

“The question is, how can we better assess what students have learned?” Saunders says. To address that issue, she is collaborating with teachers on improving assessment at the Lower School. Such assessments ensure each student’s needs are being met, and students are being challenged to move to the next level, she says.

Among the teachers making those assessments are three new hires Saunders made this year. In hiring veteran Montessori teacher Laura Novotney, art teacher Erin McConnell and religion teacher Sr. Beata Tiboldi O.P., Saunders sought to bring on instructors qualified in multiple disciplines.

While McConnell has a bachelor’s degree in art education, she also has a master’s degree in gifted and talented education. Sr. Beata, meanwhile, has experience in primary education and is a certified reading specialist.

Together, all of this will foster a positive, tailored learning experience for each student and a supportive workplace for teachers, Saunders says.

Gilmour Academy Commencement

MAY 25, 2014 ~ COMMENCEMENT

Commencement SpeakerLucie SalhanyThe Class of 2014, their families and guests heard from commencement speaker Lucie Salhany, who made history as the first woman to head a broadcast network when she was named chairman of Fox Broadcasting in 1993. She delivered a wonderful message to the students, and her accomplishments are a true example of living out Holy Cross founder Blessed Fr. Basil Moreau, C.S.C.’s call to “cross borders of every sort.”

Salutator ianBrynn Alexander

Associate Head of School J. Brian Horgan introduced salutatorian Brynn Alexander ’14. In speaking of her, he said, “What Brynn has helped me realize with greater clarity is that excellence comes from pursuing your own unique path, your own unique calling, with integrity – integrity in the sense of bringing your whole, true being to your work and to life’s engagements.” He added, “Whether in her academic work, in her faith life, in her Speech and Debate competitions, in her music, in her service to others, in her every waking moment, it would appear, one experiences Brynn in her vibrant, inspiring authenticity.”

Alexander spoke about the way dreams and goals evolve over time, stating that as long as you have a goal that leaves the world a better place, it is alright for the path to shift through time. Alexander is currently attending the University of Notre Dame, where she is double-majoring in accounting and FTT (film, theater and television) and is a trumpet player in the school’s Marching Band.

Valed i c tor ianMichael Palumbo

In introducing valedictorian Michael Palumbo ’14, Horgan shared some examples of Michael’s persistence in all endeavors, whether swimming, physics or his volunteer work. Horgan said, “All of these stories, each hinting at Michael’s humility and persistence, made it easy to root for Michael as his high school career unfolded. Only now, it feels a bit silly to be rooting for him. His success and accomplishments and destiny for distinction don’t allow for one to be a fan as much as an admirer.”

Palumbo spoke to his classmates about the incredible community they built during their time at the Academy and the things that can be accomplished when people work together. He urged his classmates to let their Gilmour experiences help shape them as they embark on the next steps of their journeys. Palumbo is now at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he is an astrophysics major.

Last spring, 2012 Gilmour grad Spencer Antunez wrapped up a two-year stint playing junior hockey in Springfield, Mass. He wasn’t just biding his time. He was leveraging his hockey talents to attract the attention of elite colleges.

It worked. Now Antunez, 20, is riding high in the midst of his first semester at Bowdoin College. “It’s exciting,” he says.

Antunez was recruited heavily by Bowdoin’s hockey coach to play at the college for a full four years. “You have to go into juniors with the attitude that you’re there for a reason. And that’s to be recruited to a high-caliber school,” Antunez says.

Antunez is just one of dozens of Gilmour hockey players who have used “juniors” to attend top tier universities. The tactical decision has earned them entry to Brown University, Miami University, Providence College, Rochester Institute of Technology, the United

States Military Academy at West Point, and many other competitive schools.

"Our goal is to best prepare our players for academic and athletic challenges so they can succeed in college. With the average age of a college hockey freshman being 20 ½, it is difficult for most 18 year olds to compete. While our graduates are very well prepared academically and as hockey players, most are not physically ready to challenge players two to six years older for a spot on a college team,” says Gilmour’s Hockey Director John Malloy. He continues, “Junior hockey allows

them a chance to mature physically. With this additional strength and their Gilmour diploma in hand, they become a viable college hockey candidate.” Malloy explains, “While many of our 150-plus college players go directly to college, for some, this added year of juniors makes all of the difference.”

Kyle Maggard ’06 describes how the path from Gilmour to junior hockey to college has worked for him. “Like many others, the opportunity to receive a first-rate education while working toward my goal of playing Division I hockey was my main motivation for attending Gilmour. I knew that my hard work and dedication both in the classroom and on the ice would be rewarded.” He continues, “It is why I was able to play Division I hockey at West Point after playing juniors, why my hard work at West Point was met with a full scholarship to pursue my master’s degree at the University of Cambridge, and why I now serve proudly as an engineer in the United States Army.”

Moot Court Wins State Competition In May, Gilmour’s Moot Court team of Cassandra Williams ’15, Grant Bent ’15 and Sophia Zupanc ’15 won the Moot Court 2014 State Competition with a final score of 279 points. The event featured 70 high school students from 13 schools around the state of Ohio. The competition, sponsored by the Ohio Center for Law-Related Education (OCLRE), was a brand new event this year.

Students gathered at the Ohio Supreme Court and had the opportunity to argue both sides of a court case. They presented a simulated oral argument and responded to questions posed by a panel of judges. Students were judged on their ability to apply

the law to the case. Additionally, participants composed a legal brief related to the arguments, which was also scored by the panel of judges.

Gilmour’s team was coached by Gay Janis, who also serves as the school’s director of speech and debate, director of the drama program and Mock Trial coach. The team was assisted by legal advisor Brandon Cox, Esq. ’03, an associate in the trial department at Tucker, Ellis & West, LLP.

Janis says of the team’s success, “I am so pleased the students won States. It was quite a complicated case and I thought the students handled both sides, including their analysis and application of the case law, very professionally. Their legal brief, which counted in the scoring process, was quite impressive.”

Deanne Nowak, Ph.D. Earns National Recognition for her Work Developing Gilmour’s Entrepreneurship Program

Nowak received her award at the Freedoms Foundation dinner.

In May, the Freedoms Foundation honored eight teachers selected from a national pool for the prestigious 2014 Leavey Awards. One of the award winners was Deanne Nowak, Ph.D., a science instructor and Gilmour’s Dean of Institutional and Curriculum Research.

The awards program recognizes educators at the elementary, junior high school, high school and college levels for innovative and effective techniques in teaching entrepreneurship and free enterprise education.

Nowak was honored for her creation of an entrepreneurship ecosystem at Gilmour – reaching students from the Montessori preschool through Grade 12 – that inspires students to learn about private enterprise and gives them a variety of opportunities to do so.

Through the innovative program Nowak has designed, Montessori students operate a family farm; Lower School students participate in the Young Entrepreneurs group, Lemonade Day and the Virtual Investment Club; Middle School students complete E-Lab; and Upper School students are offered three business-oriented electives:

management and entrepreneurship, finance and economics, and an experiential learning course called Venture. Upper School students also participate in the Investment Club, the Ohio Stock Market Challenge, the Junior Achievement Company program and a variety of business plan competitions.

Nowak credits the Burton D. Morgan Foundation and the Veale Foundation with providing the guidance and financial support to make her vision a reality. She also cites the enthusiastic participation of Gilmour colleagues, parents and alumni; the vibrant exchange of ideas among members of the Veale Youth Entrepreneurship Forum and participants at the annual Consortium for Entrepreneurship Education Forums; and the generosity of local entrepreneurs who inspire and mentor Gilmour students.

While visiting different high schools last autumn, admission counselors advised me that "you'll know the right school" after your visits. They were right! After visiting Gilmour Academy, I knew it was the right choice for me. Why? The three main reasons for me include Catholic, coed and community!

One reason I chose to attend Gilmour Academy is my Catholic faith. A strong Catholic faith can help students during important times in their life. It is important to me to keep learning about my faith throughout high school.

Another reason I picked Gilmour was the supportive faculty. On my visit, I could tell that they really wanted to help students learn as much as possible.

A third reason I chose Gilmour is I prefer having girls and boys working together in the classroom. I feel this will prepare me for real life.

But the biggest reason I chose Gilmour was its warm community. As soon as I set foot on campus,

I felt as if I was at home. There was not one person that made me feel uncomfortable in any way. The teachers, coaches, staff, students and families all made me feel so welcome at Gilmour. I am loving my first year as a Lancer!

Choosing Gilmour as my high school was an easy decision. There weren't too many schools, at the time, that caught my eye. I looked at other schools, but none felt like home to me. I wanted a school that I would be able to spend the next four years of my life at, continue my educational career, and make lifelong friends. I wanted to be in a happy environment where I could get work done, and have a little fun. It's not that the other schools I was looking at didn't offer any of the things I was looking for, it was just a matter of which school felt right to me. Gilmour was the best fit for me, and that's why I chose it.

Some things that separated Gilmour from the other schools were the campus, the environment and all the sports and clubs that they offered. When I first arrived at the school on my shadow day, I fell in love. Tudor House was so beautiful in itself, and that was only the outside that I saw. The outside and inside appearance of the place where I'll be "working" for the next four years was a very important part of my decision.

Sports are a very big part of my life. I love being active, and having fun doing it. The number of sports Gilmour offers was also another

I am a freshman at Gilmour and I am part of the largest freshman class in recent history.

I first got to know about Gilmour when I attended an Open House during an October afternoon while I was still in seventh grade. Walking through the campus made a lasting impression. When I reached eighth grade, I chose to shadow at Gilmour to see what it was like for an entire day. It was the best experience I had of any school I shadowed. I knew then that Gilmour was for me.

The decision to attend Gilmour was easy. I felt at home as part of a large family. Everyone seemed interested in me personally and asked about me. I felt that I belonged in this perfect atmosphere. The campus was great and the food even better! Gilmour set itself apart from the other schools I considered because everyone was interested in me as a person. They saw what I could bring to Gilmour.

There are many opportunities for me to get involved at Gilmour and grow as an individual. I enjoy sports, so I play football and plan to participate in basketball and track. I love music and will participate in the Pops Ensemble.

I will get involved socially in some other clubs as I learn what they are during my freshman year. I will also find a service organization that I can help by giving back to the community in some way.

I am up to the challenge that Gilmour presents. I want to achieve as an individual. I also want to contribute to the Gilmour community by doing the best that I can in everything that I attempt to do and use all the gifts that God gave me. That’s what my parents instilled in me. I appreciate the opportunity to attend Gilmour and look forward to the next four years.

big part of my decision, along with the many different clubs. During my time at Gilmour, I hope to get involved in Mock Trial, the Math Club, the Drama Club, Music Ministry, and many others. In my four years here, I hope to play basketball. I also want to try some new sports like fastpitch softball, tennis and volleyball. Along with sports and clubs, I'd like to get involved in the community, and help others. Helping others is something I value, and the fact that we have to have 60 hours of service before we can graduate is amazing, and it gives me plenty of time to be of service to those in need.

There are many good high schools in my area, and I shadowed four in particular. Then I became confused…which one do I choose? I recalled a piece of advice from Roy Disney who said, “When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.”

So I asked myself, “What do I value?” And my answer was this… a coeducational environment, a faith-based community, strong organization and work ethic, and a ‘family feel.’ Not every school I shadowed could check my requirements off the list. Gilmour did.

Shadowing gave me a behind-the-scenes preview of a typical school day. After one round of shadow days at four schools, I came back to Gilmour to shadow for a second time.

This time, I paid particular attention to how the students cordially interacted with one another. It was insightful to see the seniors talk to the freshmen in the hallways. I felt respected when I was asked my opinions in classroom discussions. My shadow hosts were genuinely interested in me. Even when I went home, a freshman texted me to ask how I liked Gilmour.

The teachers introduced me to the class and were accommodating in showing me around the school. Teachers went out of their way to ask me what my interests were and explained what programs were available, such as Catalyst.

At Gilmour, I will be involved with track and field, and community service. The classes I look forward to the most are physics and speech. I am eager for all the opportunities that Gilmour holds so that I can be inspired to fulfill my dreams. After all, Walt Disney said, “All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.”

I was originally introduced to Gilmour Academy by my mother and my aunt who had graduated from there in 1985 and 1986. Although there was no pressure to follow in the family footsteps, I considered Gilmour along with several other schools. When it came time to start shadowing, however, seventh and eighth graders at Seton Catholic School were only allowed two shadow days, so I had to narrow down my choices. During the spring of my seventh grade year, I spent my first shadow day at another area high school. I shadowed my very good friend, a sophomore with whom I had danced for many years. Overall, I thought the school was beautiful, but I felt rather out of place in the halls. I realized that my

After only being here for a short time, I already know that I made the right decision for high school. It was a long process deciding on a high school. I looked at a few schools in the area, but as soon as I saw Gilmour I knew that this was where I wanted to be.

I came from a small grade school with a graduating class of only 31 students. I knew that I would feel more comfortable in a smaller

interest in that school was sparked purely because of my friends that would soon be attending there. I had yet to feel at home when I walked through the doors of a high school.

In September of my eighth grade year, I used my last shadow day to

come visit Gilmour Academy. I remember how excited I was when we pulled up to Tudor House and there was someone there waiting for me. I could feel the excitement in the air as the students hustled and bustled about; it was the Friday of Homecoming Weekend. A student named Alex took me through the course of her day so that I could see what it would be like to be a freshman at Gilmour Academy. I was able to participate and answer questions in all of her classes, eat a delicious and nut-free lunch (thank goodness, because I’m allergic!), admire the breathtaking campus, interact with teachers and faculty, and receive the full Gilmour experience. Everyone there greeted me with open arms. I felt at home walking through the halls. When my mom picked me up at the end

of the day, she didn’t even ask me how it went before I said, “I want to be a Lancer!”

During my time at Gilmour, I hope to explore the many things they have to offer. I am very interested in math and science, as well as writing, photography and Spanish. I would like to participate in many extracurricular activities. I hope to make new friends that I’ll have for a lifetime. Maybe one day I, too, will be able to show a student interested in coming to Gilmour their way around the campus. I hope to have an amazing time with people I love in a positive learning environment and achieve academic excellence during my four years at Gilmour. But most importantly, I have confidence that I will. And that is why I chose Gilmour Academy.

high school. I knew I wanted a school with a family atmosphere and a strong sense of community. I didn’t just want to be a "number." I wanted to have a role in my school community. When I walked into Gilmour on my visit day I knew this was exactly where I wanted to be.

I am on Gilmour's football team, so I have been pretty busy with football and studying. The teachers here care about every student's individual success, whether it’s in the classroom or on the field, so they are always

willing to provide help outside of class. As a member of the football team, I have come to know kids in grades 9-12 and have become close with kids in each grade. Everyone pretty much knows everyone here. No other school could have provided me with that. My dad and my brother both graduated from Saint Ignatius and now here I am, happy to be a part of the Gilmour community and a proud member of the graduating class of 2018. Go Lancers!

Fifty-eight years after meeting each other in Gilmour dorms or classrooms, or on the freshman football team of Brother Ludwig Crosson, eight of the boys of 1960 reconvened on the first long weekend in September in Lake Placid, N.Y., at the home of TOM

ASHLEY ’60 and Mara Jayne Miller.

Four buildings on four acres facing the historic lake proved to be a good venue for recalling the last 50 years and

the important time the boys spent together in the 1950s. Six attending spouses made a grand dinner table for continuous talking. Negotiations to determine who would get to plan and prepare dinners and breakfasts were energetic. Fourteen slept comfortably in the 130-year-old big house and “cottage.”

Mara Jayne’s speedboat and Richard Barone’s Hummer complemented

the activities offered by the lake, islands, peninsulas, woods, trails and mountains, which were on dramatic view from the back deck of the big house. Talking and more talking accompanied eating, drinking, sitting, hiking, fireplace-ing, museum-ing, sightseeing, shopping, boating and swimming.

Every participant agreed that something important had happened in the Gilmour years and they committed to re-reconvening for further discussion in another 58 years.

The Boys of 1960

TOM NELSONClass of 1958Spotligһt

The new freshman walked into the room and counted six pool tables. It wouldn’t cost him a penny to play. That was all he needed to see.

“I fell in love with Gilmour in about 25 minutes. It was an adventure from the moment I hit the ground,” says TOM NELSON.

Indeed, Gilmour personified a brave new world for the young man from Oak Park, Ill., who suffered from a rheumatic heart problem that confined him to bed for much of his youth.

The first time he ever ran was as a freshman in September 1954. “It was arrogance on my part,” says Nelson, who ran track, cheered and played football at Gilmour. “I thought, well, everybody else is doing it, so I’m going to do it, too.”

Nelson embraced the friendships he so quickly established in the dorms, and in 2014 Nelson considers Gilmour a highlight of his life. Graduating from Gilmour and subsequently attending Georgetown University were significant accomplishments for Nelson, who because of his early illness didn’t attend school regularly until third grade.

Nelson took a break between his junior and senior year at Georgetown to serve for two years in the Army. The Private First Class and Army cook was awarded the Good Conduct Medal his first year.

“They thought it was marvelous that I was a Gilmour graduate, so they gave me this medal,” jokes Nelson, who returned to Georgetown and graduated with an economics degree.

Striking a more serious tone, Nelson says he has lived a “very charmed, wonderful life.” Gilmour was among the first steps on that path, he says. Another was marrying Pat, his wife of 50 years. “It was the luckiest day of my life,” Nelson says of his wedding day.

The couple established a good life and big family in Oak Park, and Nelson rose to become president of his family’s printing business, Offset Press. First, he fulfilled his longtime goal of joining the Chicago Board of Trade, just as his father had in 1924. But “it was tough,” Nelson says. “I traded for almost two years and nearly starved to death.”

Joining the family business somehow seemed more appealing. In it, Nelson learned that working smart is better than working hard, and that communication is crucial to harmonious business relationships.

“Being in a family business, your life was not your own,” he says. “You had to do what you were told. It was more than being an employee; it was a matter of family support. You loved these people, so that’s why you did it.”

Nelson continues to be a deeply committed family man. He and Pat have three sons, three daughters and 12 grandchildren they see often. “The most courageous thing I’ve done is become a father,” Nelson says. “That makes the difference between everything.”

In an age where the average worker stays at a job for fewer than five years, JIM DENIG is an anomaly. The VP/Sales Director at Haggar Clothing has worked at Haggar for 43 years, and he’s set to retire this December.

When he does retire, the Chicago resident will be spending a lot more time at his home near Orlando, Fla. He and his wife, Peggy, bought a home there in 2011 to be closer to their grandchildren, including their autistic grandson, Cipriano.

“When he was diagnosed with autism in 2003, it just changed our lives. Everyone became dedicated,” Denig says.

The family rallied to establish a foundation to pay for his 3-year-old grandson’s expensive therapy sessions, which ran into the tens of thousands of dollars annually.

By the time he was 5, Cipriano had regained his speech. Today, at 14, he is a talented polo player. “Without this foundation, he probably wouldn’t have been high functioning,” Denig says. “I’m proud of what he’s fought himself through to become what he is today.”

Denig considers himself traditional, but his life has been anything but that. Just look at his family. The father of four adopted his youngest daughter Tori, 22, from a Russian orphanage when she was 10. Denig was 58 at the time, and he and Peggy already had three grown children.

But Peggy was active in Children’s Hope, a charity that finds homes for orphans around the world. When the opportunity to adopt Tori presented itself, the Denigs took it.

“I didn’t want to adopt an infant,” Denig says. “At the time, I thought, ‘I can handle a 10-year-old but I’m not sure I can handle a 1-year-old.’”

Besides the fact that Tori spoke only Russian (she has Disney movies to thank for her English), the adoption was a relatively easy adjustment for the family. Daughters Carrie, 37, and Brooke, 41, were elated. Son Brad, 39, however, was shocked.

“The girls were like, ‘Isn’t this great?’” Denig recalls. “The boy was like, ‘Dad, what the hell were you thinking? You’re 58. She’s 10.’”

Given the age disparity in the family, Denig’s only regret is not adopting two children at the same time. But Tori will have family to keep her company. She is 22 now and about to have her first child.

“She’s been a real delight,” Denig says. “Having somebody come live with us who had no family, no future, no belongings, hopefully you give someone a chance at a much better life.”

What are your older kids like? Diverse. Carrie and her husband manage a polo farm in Wellington, Fla. Brad lives in Singapore and is engaged to a young lady from Thailand. Brooke works for a health care company in Europe.

What or who has enhanced your life?

My brother-in-law Tommy. He moved in with us last year. He’s 61 with cerebral palsy. He can’t cut his meat, can’t move his fingers, but he worked every day until he was 55 years old. He’s an inspiration.

Describe Peggy. She’s a hero. She really is. She’s just terrific.

What are your thoughts on retirement? I’ll be sad to leave my job. When you’ve done the same thing for so long, it’s an adjustment.

What makes you happy? My family.

PAUL LYDENClass of 1979Spotligһt

He rises every morning at 6 to feed the cattle. Then he gardens with his wife, exercises, drinks two cups of coffee and washes up.

That’s how PAUL LYDEN begins every day before arriving for work at the family business, Lyden Oil Company. The youngest of five children, Lyden was 13 years old in 1974 when he started working summers there. He’s now vice president of the business cofounded by his grandfather in 1919.

The fourth-generation company now stands among the top 10 largest lubricant suppliers in the country, having built its success on customer service, quality products and competitive pricing.

“If you have all that, you’ll make it in the long run. That’s one thing my grandfather instilled in us,” Lyden says. “If we don’t service the customer and somebody else does, there’s no reason for any of us to be here.”

Nearly 100 years on, Lyden Oil Company has six divisions across Ohio and Michigan, employs 160 people and moves 14 million gallons of lubricants annually.

Lyden is a hands-on owner who’s done everything from administrative work to driving trucks. And he always keeps his office door open. “Ask a question, you’ll get an answer,” Lyden says. “It may not be the answer you want, but you’ll get an answer.”

For a guy who grew up surrounded by family at every turn, Gilmour’s dorms provided a refuge that let him come of age. Brothers Richard Keller, Michael Flanagan and Robert Lavelle, all quite young at the time, “understood the wildness in us,” Lyden says. “Through good times and bad, they made a difference. They made stuff happen, and that’s probably why I am the way I am today.”

Lyden’s life today is enriched by family, work and the great outdoors. You might find him hunting, camping near his Colorado cabin or driving cross-country alongside his son. “I’m a very active person,” he says. “My tracks don’t get rusty or dusty.”

What’s been your greatest lesson? Listen. Learn from your elders.

What’s your motto? I am what I am.

Where’s your favorite place to relax? My farm in Ohio and my cabin in Colorado

What’s the best thing about cattle? They taste great.

What’s the first visual that comes to mind when you think of Gilmour? Walking through the procession of graduation knowing that we all survived – Round One!

WALT ROONEYClass of 1988Spotligһt

It was July 4, 2013. WALT ROONEY, M.D. had just landed in San Francisco when he got the call. It was the kind of call no one wants to receive. Rooney’s younger sister, Annie, had been struck by a drunk driver and was clinging to life at The Ohio State Medical Center.

By the time Rooney arrived in Columbus several hours later, Annie had passed away. It was a tragedy that changed the Rooneys’ lives forever. They thought about what Annie would do in their situation, and from her death they are creating positive change.

“All our family talked about as we learned about the repeat offender who killed her is how she could have been let off time and again,” Rooney says. “It became apparent that we just couldn’t live with ourselves if we didn’t try to prevent this from happening to other people.”

To do that, the Rooneys are working to advance legislation in the Ohio state legislature that would require all convicted drunk drivers – not just repeat offenders – to have an ignition interlock installed on their cars. It would require the driver to blow into a Breathalyzer to ensure sobriety before the car will start.

With the Rooneys’ heavy lobbying, Annie’s Law, as the legislation is called, has garnered support from the National Transportation Safety Board, Nationwide Insurance, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Ohio State Medical Association and others. In November, the Ohio House Judiciary Committee will vote on whether or not to send it to the House floor.

Annie, a prosecuting attorney who was 36 when she died, long had impressed her family with her advocacy of abused women. “She was always trying to give women a voice, that was her big thing in life,” Rooney says. “I know she would be totally supportive of what we’re doing. She would be leading the charge.”

What is your day job? I’m a plastic surgeon.

Where do you live? In Cincinnati with my wife and four kids. We moved here to fight for Annie’s Law last year. Before that, we lived in Seattle for 10 years. We had planned to stay there forever.

Are you glad you moved? Absolutely. Ohio is behind almost all other states with respect to this public health safety issue. Four hundred Ohioans are killed by drunk drivers annually. When we realized how preventable this is, we were compelled to act.

You are attending University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business. What impact has it had on you? I have been able to use Wharton’s powerful network to help move this legislation along. I have contacted Wharton alums from San Francisco, New York, Washington, D.C., and Columbus to help on this issue.

What do you want your kids to learn from Annie? I want them to cherish their brief memory of her, to remember that she was selfless and courageous. Above all, I want them to be inspired by their family overcoming deep grief to make our community a safer place.

If technology in the classroom is the wave of the future, KELLY PETRELLO has caught a big one. Thanks to her focus on social media and electronics in her fifth-grade class, the 35-year-old last fall received the Atlanta Families Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Petrello has taught in Atlanta schools for 13 years. She is entering her second year as a fifth-grade teacher at Garden Hills Elementary, a public school where the student body is largely Latino.

After taking the position, she was alarmed by how much her students lacked basic technology skills. “I wanted them to be able to compete when they got into middle school, and I decided to level the playing field for them,” she says.

In a Title 1 school where Petrello last year spent some of her own money to buy extra supplies for the class, her ability to empower her students with wise and thorough social media skills is a major feat. What started as a group of timid students eventually became one far more extroverted as they grew adept at blogging and more cognizant of online privacy issues.

“These were kids that were not really engaged in class and suddenly they blew up with the idea of having their own blog,” Petrello says. “It got to the point where it wasn’t even an assignment anymore. They just were writing because they wanted to write.”

Petrello’s Excellence in Teaching Award came in the form of a $7,500 grant, which she spent on iPads, portable keyboards and much-needed computers. “That was probably the most powerful thing,” she says. “Just knowing what my kids needed and being able to use that money to provide it for them.”

What makes you happy? A good run on a cool day

Who or what inspires you? My mom’s ambition. She never let any obstacle get in her way.

What is your fondest memory? Sunday dinners at my grandma’s house, listening to her play the piano and spending time with my family

What was a challenge that made you better? Not getting the first job I applied for out of college. Although I was disappointed, it forced me to open my mind to new opportunities.

Sweets, salt or carbs? Definitely salt

“I really һad to look into myself and

rely on my values to guide me.”

What’s one film you never tire of seeing? “Dr. Strangelove”

What’s something you could never live without? Music

Where do you turn for inspiration? I walk around Manhattan.

What do you want to say about your family? I’m thankful that my parents put a high value on education and developing a love of learning.

“Tһe fact tһat Gilmour was so supportive of my efforts consistently was pretty amazing.”

Most professionals wake up, grab their morning coffee and head to the office. T.J. MISNY prepares for the international premiere of his film “Intimate Semaphores.”

The collection of three comedic shorts was the opening night premiere at the Brooklyn Film Festival in May. It won for best editing there (Misny was the editor) and will screen at the Stockholm Film Festival this November. It’s the first time Misny’s work will premiere abroad.

“I’ve long admired Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, so it’s especially meaningful to be premiering in that country,” Misny says.

Misny is a hands-on filmmaker who savors having the creative license to see his work through from beginning to end. As a writer and director, he approaches his projects always with two questions in mind: Why am I doing this and what am I trying to discover?

Misny takes that search for answers deeper in his first feature film, currently in the works. He began writing the screenplay in 2008. In 2011, the script was a finalist in Francis Ford Coppola’s writing competition.

“Being my first feature, this is the one closest to my heart,” says Misny, who funds his own films through his day job as a producer of corporate videos. Such independence shines through in all his decisions. He’s eschewed mentors, instead seeking enlightenment in DVDs. And he graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in three years, too inspired by New York City to delay filmmaking any longer.

A Gilmour ”lifer,” Misny shot his earliest films as a freshman. His passion for filmmaking was well known among teachers, who allowed him to shoot videos instead of writing some papers.

“The fact that Gilmour was so supportive of my efforts consistently was pretty amazing,” Misny says. “I graduated feeling like ‘If I stick to my guns and keep making movies I will find support in the world.’ ”

KEVIN GLEASON worries he may actually have to move to California. “I know it’s going to happen. Every single tech job is in Silicon Valley,” he says.

Gleason is a Midwest/East Coast kind of guy himself. But he’s also a techie eyeing his future. The Boston College junior is web manager for The Torch, B.C.’s Catholic newspaper. The paper’s editor-in-chief, Gleason’s Gilmour classmate Natalie Yuhas ’12 brought him on board there last year.

Gleason was just three weeks into his first coding class when he joined The Torch. For the next month, he spent every spare second teaching himself web coding. He acquired enough skills to build an online search mechanism for The Torch. Now readers can punch in a term and the system searches the archives for related articles.

Gleason took AP sciences at Gilmour and entered B.C. a pre-med major. But one crack at building gadgets in computer science class and he was hooked. “It was the coolest thing I had ever done,” Gleason says.

When the class ended his sophomore year, Gleason switched his major to computer science. In learning about more complicated matters now, such as statistics and data management, he’s beginning to think about programming differently. “It’s no longer about simply making an application functional,” he says. “It’s about making it fast and efficient. That’s difficult.”

Gleason last summer completed an internship in Chicago at global technology consulting company Saggezza, and it motivated him to delve deeper into his craft.

As for moving to Silicon Valley, “every experience is a positive one if you let it be,” Gleason says. “I’m sure I would learn an incredible amount there and eventually grow to love California, no matter how much it pains me to say that.”

At Gilmour, you played soccer, basketball and tennis all four years. What is your best sports memory? Beating U.S. in basketball my senior year in the new gym.

Which Gilmour teacher influenced you most? Doc Goel, AP biology. She was without a doubt one of the greatest teachers I’ve had. Her class was the hardest I ever worked and the most I ever learned.

What good advice do you have for others? Always say “hi” in the elevator. It may be the only chance you get to meet someone and start a friendship.

What’s your quirkiest talent? I know how to work a Diablo, a Chinese yo-yo.

What’s something you’d like to do? Develop an application that makes enough money to buy a burger for everyone working on it.

A Gilmour reunion in Korea


Through the Gilmour Academy Alumni Parents Association, past parents can keep their friendships alive long after the children graduate.

Whether their kids are playing football at Weber stadium, acting in a school play or going wall-to-wall at a swim meet, Gilmour parents always are there to cheer them on. Along the way, they form close bonds with the moms and dads sitting alongside them week after week and year after year.

Then their children graduate and all the camaraderie comes to an abrupt halt…at other schools, maybe. But for Gilmour moms and dads, the Gilmour Academy Alumni Parents Association (GAAPA) keeps friendships alive.

“The idea is to have parents stay engaged in Gilmour in a social way,” says Mary Kate Farrar Vega ’93 Assistant Head of School for Advancement. “By being part of the association, parents still have a Gilmour connection, but it’s mostly about camaraderie among parents.”

John Fagan, one of the group’s founding members, says when his

youngest son, Dan, graduated from Gilmour in 1996 it was tough to separate from the school.

“After spending years of making lifelong friendships through Gilmour, we didn't want it to end, nor did our friends,” he says. “Having been heavily involved in GA since 1985, when our oldest son, John, started high school, it came as quite a shock when the phone stopped ringing and the mail from school ended.”

So in 1998, Fagan and his wife, Kathie, formed a steering committee to create the Gilmour Academy Alumni Parents Association.

Backed by Jim Farrar ’59 and Br. Robert Lavelle, C.S.C., the association became official in January 2002. “Our intention was to be a ‘fun’ raising club, not a fund raising club,” Fagan says.

From Blossom concerts to brewery tours, Oktoberfest to St. Patrick’s Day, the association stays true to its mission by hosting about five primary gatherings a year. The group also has held tailgate parties at Gilmour games and is always invited to the Head of School’s Christmas party.

With few exceptions, everything is complimentary but for a $20 annual membership fee. And for parents of newly graduated students, the first year’s fee is waived.

The multigenerational aspect of the group makes it all the more appealing, Fagan says, and the committee actively seeks out younger members to ensure the group stays dynamic and vibrant.

Longtime association committee member Mary Beth Link put her four kids through Gilmour over a period of 14 years. She and her husband, Don, went to a lot of football games in that time.

“We were knee deep in Gilmour for a long time, and then all of a sudden to have nothing was like quitting cold turkey,” she says. “This gives us an opportunity not only to come back and reconnect with old friends, but also to make new friends from other generations.”

If you would like to get involved in GAAPA, contact Megan

Schlickmann ’90 at (440) 473-8073 or [email protected].

GILMOUR COACHES NAMED COACH OF THE YEAR

Sharnsky is the most decorated coach in school history. In his 31 years as the head baseball coach at Gilmour, he amassed a 510-225 record and had only two losing seasons. Additionally, Sharnsky coached the golf team and led them to five state titles during his tenure.

Herbe played football and ran track at Gilmour. In 1995, he was a co-captain of the first Lancer team to make the playoffs and was named First Team All-Ohio and News-Herald Offensive Player of the Year. He was also a member of the state qualifying 4x400m relay team.

Frey graduated from Gilmour with 14 varsity letters. He was a four-year member of the prep hockey team; a four-year member of the varsity

baseball team, earning All-Ohio, First Team All-Conference (all four years), All-Cuyahoga County, Plain Dealer and News-Herald Player of the Week and team MVP honors; a four-year varsity golf team member, earning All-Conference honors and Academic All-Ohio honors twice and making three state golf championship appearances.

Hannes was a member of the prep hockey, golf and lacrosse teams. As a golfer, in 1999 he earned MAC All-Conference honors. For his hockey talents, he was selected for All-Team Ohio and the Team Ohio Chicago Showcase, Hockey Night in Boston Team Midwest and Hockey Night in Boston All-Scholastic Senior Showcase Tournament teams. As a lacrosse player, Hannes earned team MVP honors in 2000.

Lowery was a captain of the softball, basketball and volleyball teams during her time at the Academy. By the time she graduated in 1993, she held every offensive record in Gilmour softball history. She was named a four-time News-Herald First Team All-Star and a three-time Plain Dealer First Team All-Star. She earned First Team All-Scholastic honors. She never missed a game in four seasons as a starting varsity player.

Asked after the ceremony about what the honor means to her, Lowery said, “It actually means a lot to me. I played three sports at Gilmour. I spent so many good years here at Gilmour, so to be honored like this is such a big deal for me and for my family.”

DEAR FRIENDS,L E T T E R F R O M T H E H E A D O F S C H O O L

Another wonderful academic year is underway at the Academy. There is a palpable energy in the air as we build on the successes of last year. In a year that saw our speech and debate students compete at nationals, the Mock Trial team compete at states, the Moot Court team win the inaugural state championship, four of our sports teams finish as state runners-up and six of our coaches named Coach of the Year for their respective sports, we also had a successful year raising much-needed funds for the Academy. Our fabulous Evening in Paris netted more than $450,000. We also met our Annual Fund goal of $750,000, an incredible feat on the heels of such a large-scale fundraiser.

With the start of the new school year this August, we welcomed the largest freshman class in recent history – a class strong not just in numbers, but in talent as well. We have several new leaders in place - leaders specifically chosen for their level of expertise, their innovative thinking and their commitment to our mission. I am thrilled with the vision provided by our Associate Head of School J. Brian Horgan as well as by our three new

division heads – Jon Wanders, Director of the Upper School; Elizabeth Edmondson, Director of the Middle School; and Yvonne Saunders, Director of the Lower School and Montessori programs.

As we are ever evaluating the school and looking for ways to foster innovation and improve our programming, one need, in particular, continues to surface – the need for a new performing arts space. Thanks to a generous lead gift of $5 million from Lorraine and Bill Dodero and the generosity of several other families who have made gifts, we are now able to invest our efforts in building a new Center for the Performing Arts, a space that will be used by all Gilmour students. While we are still securing the necessary funds to break ground, we are excited about the multitude of opportunities this space will provide for our students and our programming. You will be asked for your generosity in supporting this transformational project.

As always, I am so grateful to you and the many others on whose shoulders we stand. It is your generous investment in Gilmour that enables us to have the resources to make our mission and vision a lived experience. May all of us be blessed in ways that enable us to fulfill our mission of empowering young people to be persons of faith who are competent, lifelong learners ready to lead courageously in seeking a more humane and just world.

Sincerely,

Br. Robert E. Lavelle, C.S.C. Head of School

FALL 201462 HONOR ROLL OF DONORSFALL 201462 63

I am honored and humbled to serve Gilmour as Chairman of our Board of Trustees. I have a wonderful role model in Jerry Murphy, who, thankfully, is not riding off into the sunset. Jerry, like Br. Robert Lavelle, perfectly exemplifies Gilmour. To their cores and with everything they do, both men represent what is so very special about Gilmour:

Home and Family. Gilmour is – and always will be – home and family for all of us. I cannot tell you how heartwarming I find sitting in the stands at GA athletic events beside people with whom I went to Gilmour and played sports, only now to watch our kids study, compete and grow together.

Mind and Heart. Gilmour and the Congregation of Holy Cross have always educated both the mind (the competence to see) and the heart (the courage to act). This is the foundational essence of what students – and indeed all of us – receive from Gilmour. In turn, we must remember to give of ourselves utilizing our minds and hearts. We are called to serve our family and friends, Gilmour and other deserving organizations, and the world. And such service, such stewardship, comes in many forms.

We are GA! And GA needs each and every one of us. And I thank all of you who have so generously supported the Academy both this past year and throughout our history. Let’s continue to follow the examples set by Br. Robert and Jerry to further the excellence of Gilmour and all the lives touched in the process.

Kind Regards,

Fred G. Botek ’85 Chairman, Board of Trustees

Points of Contact Gilmour Academy's class agent program continues to evolve and has some good momentum. With the help of our current class agents, we are improving communication about what’s happening on campus and strengthening the important relationships we enjoy with our most valuable assets – you, the alumni. A class agent serves as a point of contact to encourage fellow classmates to attend local gatherings and on-campus activities as well as to participate in the Annual Fund.

The program is making a big impact with classes celebrating reunions. Last year, there was a committed group of volunteers who met to discuss events being hosted during the weekend and volunteered to spend a few nights on and off campus making personal phone

calls to encourage the class to return to campus. The classes of ’59, ’64 and ’04, in particular, had great success this past June, both in terms of numbers of classmates who attended reunion and in Annual Fund participation. This was, in large part, due to the dedication of these GA ambassadors.

Essential Support An important function of the Class Agent in the Ambassador role is asking for support of the Annual Fund. Most do not realize that a donation not only supports Gilmour’s excellent academics, athletics and fine arts programs, but the many students who, without financial aid, could not attend Gilmour. For this school year, 45 percent of students are able to attend Gilmour because of the financial gift that many of the alumni have made throughout the year. This fund is an essential part of Gilmour's revenue each year.

Get Involved This year we are hosting several calling nights and those classes celebrating a reunion this summer (those with classes ending in 0s or 5s) are encouraged to become involved.

Join Us There is still a great need for more volunteers to serve as class agents for every class. If you have a commitment to the school and its mission, if you would like an opportunity to connect with your classmates, if you can lead by example and energize your class to participate in the Annual Fund ... we would love to have you as a class agent!

For more information or to sign up as a Class Agent, contact Annual Fund Coordinator Kathleen Berry at (440) 473-8091 or [email protected].

SCHOLARSHIPS

The award honors the memory of GA father and board member Dudley P. Sheffler.

Dudley P. Sheffler was a caring father and husband, an astute businessman and deeply committed to charity. The father of Gilmour alums Henry ’85, Jamie ’87 and John ’92 and grandfather of Christian ’15, Sheffler passed away unexpectedly nearly five years ago.

However, thanks to a new scholarship for Gilmour Middle School students, his legacy endures at the school where he long served as a board member.

The Dudley P. Sheffler Scholarship is a quasi-endowed scholarship that will help pay the tuition of two Gilmour Middle School students for four consecutive years. Annually, $7,500 will be applied to each student’s tuition and $10,000 will go into an endowment fund.

“I just thought it was a nice thing to do, to have a scholarship in his name,” says Dudley’s widow, Barbara Sheffler. “It seemed like a good idea to honor him, and creating a

scholarship is something he would have liked to have done.”

Among his many executive leadership roles, Dudley helped launch Reltec Corp. in 1995 and became its president and CEO. He also was chairman of Indiana's Blufton Motor Works and a director of the TransDigm Group.

In addition to his active involvement at Gilmour, Dudley was devoted to several nonprofits and nearly 15 years ago founded the Barbara K. and Dudley P. Sheffler Foundation.

“I would hope that legacy is carried on by the recipients of the scholarship,” Barbara says.

New Sheffler Scholarship Supports Two Middle School Students

As the mother of longtime Gilmour supporter Carole Carr, Annie Kuznik enjoyed accompanying her daughter to special events on campus. Along the way, Kuznik became close friends with Br. Robert, Bernadette Coffey and Br. Richard, who brightened Kuznik’s days as her health failed later in life.

Kuznik passed away 13 years ago. In her memory, Carole and her husband, David Carr,

have created the Annie Kuznik Scholarship at Gilmour. It will benefit students for a long time to come.

The endowed scholarship is dedicated to a student from East Cleveland or Cleveland. That choice was a deeply personal one for the Carrs. Carole was born in Cleveland, raised in East Cleveland and graduated from Shaw High School. David, meanwhile, grew up in Cleveland Heights and is a Cleveland Heights High grad. Together the couple sought to benefit students who lack the financial means to attend Gilmour.

“My mother would be so happy to know her legacy is providing life-changing opportunities for Gilmour students,” Carole says.

The Carrs’ long history with Gilmour goes back to the 1970s, when Carole

worked here as a business manager and David began his tenure on the Board of Trustees. His son, David, is a 1979 graduate. In 1997, Carole joined him on the board, and since the 1980s she has been an active Gilmour volunteer and fundraiser.

“When we thought about honoring my mother, we knew it would have a connection to Gilmour, a school that means so very much to us and whose mission we strongly support,” Carole says.

The first recipient of the Annie Kuznik Scholarship is a member of the freshman class. “David and I look forward to graduation in 2018,” Carole says.

Members of the Holy Cross Legacy Society have notified us of planned gifts in the form of a charitable trust, bequest, insurance policy or gift annuity to Gilmour Academy from their estates. Members of the Society have demonstrated their commitment to Gilmour’s mission by pledging their support and assurance that Gilmour Academy will experience continuing financial assistance far into the future. Every year, the Holy Cross Legacy Society welcomes new members.

Gilmour has partnered with financial planning expert and Honorary Board member Tim Holzheimer ’61. Tim can provide guidance and direction if you wish to explore planned giving opportunities. To discuss this further, please contact Mary Kate Farrar Vega ’93, Assistant Head of School for Advancement, at (440) 473-8009 or [email protected].

HOLY CROSS LEGACY SOCIETY FOR PLANNED GIFTS

Three years ago, Gilmour Academy created a Generations Giving Program. The purpose is for alumni and families who received financial assistance during their Gilmour days to pay it forward. The Generations Giving fund creates opportunities for a Gilmour education when families experience demonstrated need.

As part of our Holy Cross tradition, the Academy remains committed to offering a Gilmour education to qualified students who are mission-appropriate. In the past, Gilmour has sought to close the gap for families with identified need

when full-tuition cost was not within reach. Today, the Academy provides more than $4 million in aid to these students who will join the ranks of Gilmour alumni. This creates more than a significant stretch for the Academy’s available resources.

Generations of graduates from Gilmour Academy work in meaningful careers made possible by the excellent educational experience that marked their years at Gilmour. Like today’s students and their families who value a Gilmour education, former graduates received scholarship and/or financial

assistance from alumni and others who generously invested in the Annual Fund. A Generations Gift to the Annual Fund sustains this cycle and strengthens our foundation. A Gilmour education is more than an investment because it gives focus to developing the minds and hearts of new generations of students.

We are grateful to the many alumni who made a gift this past year to the Generations Giving program, and their names are listed under the Alumni Annual Fund section.

PROMISE and RENEWALT H E C A P I T A L A N D E N D O W M E N T

C A M P A I G N F O R G I L M O U R A C A D E M Y


Richard A. Barone ’60 is the embodiment of a businessman. Whether he’s launching a cultural center, helping those most in need through his foundation, finding special ways of providing gifts to Gilmour or taking a company from the bottom to the top, Barone’s savvy investments and willingness to take risks have brought him much success.

Success in Business At the center of his success has been his role as an investment advisor to others. In building wealth for his clients he has uncovered numerous opportunities for himself. In 2001, he sold the company he built from scratch, The Maxus Investment Group, to Fifth Third Bank. Maxus had become one of the largest and most successful investment companies in the Midwest. Shortly thereafter, he founded The Ancora Group and has presided over its growth into one of the largest non-bank owned investment firms in northern Ohio. He continues to advise three Ancora Mutual Funds and a number of wealthy individuals. His newest enterprise, The ArchEagle Group, is being designed to provide a variety of investment related and family office services to individuals and institutions.

Barone’s enterprising endeavors don’t stop there. Recently, he became the chairman of Mace Security International, the world’s largest manufacturer of pepper spray. He moved the company’s headquarters from Vermont to Cleveland. Now, he has other big plans for Mace, including new products such as a GPS-embedded device in the spray itself and an invisible film preventing glass from shattering thereby preventing perpetrators from entering.

“In a sense this is like being on a mission,” Barone says. “We’re looking at all sorts of ways to protect people in

public and private places. The goal is to disarm the perpetrator, not arm the teacher.”

Barone was asked to join Mace’s board five years ago when the company was floundering. He became chairman in July 2011, helping refinance it through one of his company’s hedge funds that now controls 30 percent of the shares. His personal investment in Mace, along with several clients, brings his ownership control to nearly 45 percent.

“Mace today is a well-financed, well-run publicly traded entity intent on prospering,” Barone says. “It’s just a matter now of forging ahead. When I first got involved with Mace, it was failing. I think one of the key elements in anyone’s success is the willingness to try something and fail. If you aren’t able to accept failure, then you will never give yourself the opportunity to succeed.”

From Library to Museum The South Euclid-Lyndhurst Public Library is moving to a new locale next year. Recently, Barone purchased the Telling Mansion on Mayfield Road where the library has operated for more than 60 years. Barone intends to transform the space into a cultural center for the people of South Euclid

and Lyndhurst, where he grew up, and establish the Museum of American Porcelain Art.

The Museum will house only American porcelain art beginning with American Belleek. Born from its predecessor, Irish Belleek, American Belleek was crafted around Trenton, N.J. from about 1885 to 1930. Artists from the Delaware River art colonies such as New Hope would often paint the porcelain pieces on weekends. Works from contemporary artists such as Cybis, Ispanky and Boehm, who flourished during the 1950-1980 period, will be featured.

“I wanted to create the museum not only for its challenge, but because the pieces available today will not be around in 35 years (and neither will I). In fact, Chinese investors are already buying the most difficult pieces to find,” says Barone.

The museum is expected to open in the spring of 2016, and will feature many of the pieces from Barone’s personal collection. While porcelain pieces are part of the collection of major museums around the country, this museum will be the only one devoted exclusively to American porcelain art.

AN ASTUTE INVESTOR“To me, Gilmour was always

sometһing special, and I’d like to see it succeed at all levels.”

Now the astute investor has used his business acumen to benefit Gilmour. He has donated $100,000 to Gilmour by rolling funds out of his IRA through a little known provision in the IRS code. “Because the IRS has placed deductible limitations on charitable giving in any one year, this was the only opportunity I had to benefit Gilmour during this past year,” Barone explains. Barone hopes Gilmour will use his gift to promote the educational aspects of the school it deems important.

Education has always played an important part in his career. Having recently finished his stint as chairman of the Cleveland State University Foundation and trustee of the university, where he focused on providing scholarships to junior and senior students who otherwise would be unable to continue their education, he is looking forward to becoming a more active member of the Gilmour family. Two of his grandchildren, and hopefully several more in the future, are currently enrolled.

“To me, Gilmour was always something special, and I’d like to see it succeed at all levels,” he says. “It is rare for a small private school to be able to foster both artistic talent in one individual and intellectual talent in another at the same time. The definition of the Gilmour Man in those days was not cookie cutter, and every student had the opportunity to succeed.”

“I still consider every member of my class of 49 young men as a friend, and when we get together we share memories of our time together, and we keep alive the memories even of those who have passed on. We visit with each other as often as the opportunities arise. This year, 10 of us spent time together in Lake Placid, New York. Next year we’ll find another place.”

Ways to Inspire Many generous donors give their time and talent, and contribute directly to the Academy’s success by enhancing our students’ experiences. There are numerous ways to engage in the Gilmour community – you can share your professional experience at the Sophomore Career Day, mentor a senior during the senior project, host a student for a semester-long internship, speak with parents and alumni during the phone-a-thon calling nights, etc.

Alumni also volunteer as class agents to strengthen the tie between the Academy and its graduates, which helps increase alumni support for the Annual Fund. Additionally, volunteers are encouraged to participate with annual “friendraising” and fundraising events – the Women’s Club Annual Fashion Show & Luncheon, the Lower School’s Christmas Family Gathering, the Gilmour Golf Classic or the schoolwide fundraisers. Join others by being active participants in the community – in the end you will make Gilmour a stronger and more vibrant community.

Gifts of Philanthropy Annual Giving - The cornerstone of philanthropy is the Annual Fund, which makes the most immediate impact upon our students. Its focus is to raise funds to help contain tuition costs by meeting a greater percentage of the Academy’s operating budget, and to provide need-based financial assistance to qualified students who otherwise might not be able to afford a Gilmour education. The Annual Fund is used to attract and retain distinguished faculty, provide state-of-the-art technology and continue academic and extracurricular programs. What is the correct amount for an Annual Fund gift? The only gift that is too small is the gift of nothing at all.

Planned Gifts - Making arrangements today for a future gift to benefit the Academy is a thoughtful gesture of gratitude that expresses your faith in our future. Planned giving can provide valuable tax benefits for the donor and provides Gilmour with substantial, meaningful gifts.

The following are a few ways to make planned gifts:

Bequests - Through your will or living trust, you can provide a legacy for causes that were an important part of your life. A will allows the donor to maintain complete control of assets during his or her lifetime with the knowledge that those assets will be distributed in accordance with the donor’s plan and enacted upon death.

Charitable Lead Trusts - A Charitable Lead Trust provides current income to Gilmour Academy for a fixed period of time. The assets of the trust are then returned to the donor or the donor’s designee. Properly structured, a CLT will allow assets to pass tax free from one generation of a family to another.

Life Insurance - A gift of insurance that names Gilmour Academy as the irrevocable beneficiary provides a tax deduction equal to the replacement value of the policy. If you continue to make premium payments on the policy, those also are tax-deductible.

Gifts-in-Kind - The Academy also welcomes donations of goods and/or services for which Gilmour would otherwise have to pay.

Restricted Gifts - The Restricted Gifts category includes contributions that a donor has designated for specific projects or programs such as endowed and restricted scholarship funds.

PHILANTHROPIC OPPORTUNITIES

Gilmour Academy’s ability to thrive and to continue to be able to offer new generations of students an excellent education is due, in part, to its many loyal friends who donate their time, talent and financial resources to the Academy and its mission.
