Dear Parents and Friends

The Importance ofCultivating Character

Historically, California has recognized October as Character Education Month. Through unified efforts of parents and

educators, we can help students internalize and actively live virtues like honesty, respect, responsibility, fairness and compassion. At Saints we see the moral education of the young men we serve as the basis for everything we do. And this year we are going to formalize our efforts and work to develop an Honor Code for

our students. As we work together this year to create a stable platform for student achievement and success, consider the following passage and re-commit yourself to making a moral education the foundation of the “Saints Experience”. A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intel-ligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth... Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits, which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts. By pursuing this process, a man sooner or later discovers that he is the master gardener of his soul, the director of his life. He also reveals, within himself, the laws of thought, and understands, with ever-increasing accuracy, how the thought-forces and mind-elements operate in shaping his character, circumstances, and destiny. - James Allen, Words for All Occasions

Business Without Really Trying”By Mr. Joseph Bernens (’80), Saints Faculty and Musical Director

MASS APPEAL — Early last month, the school hosted a community-wide Mass as a finale to the school’s 90th year celebrations. This terrific photograph by Saintsman Michael Cali (’13) captures the packed campus Mass. The Prior General of the Order of St. Augustine, Fr. Bob Prevost presided over mass.For more Mass coverage See Page 3. Photo: by Michael Cali (’13). During 2012-13, Saints

Scene and Saints Alive publications will feature a column highlighting alumni and friends of St. Augustine High School who make ex-traordinary contributions to the Saints community, serv-ing not only Saints, but also

sharing their time, treasure and talents with the greater community. Saints is blessed by many voices that add to its growth, develop-ment and distinction. It is our hope that you will enjoy reading about their accomplish-ments and contributions.

Dr. Ruben Carriedo (’61)The school is proud to profile Dr. Ruben Car-riedo (’61) to lead off our new editorial cover-age of alumni and friends. Dr. Carriedo is a member of Saints Class of 1961 and we’re proud to report he went on to be a graduate of Notre Dame, New York University and Har-vard. He’s the first to admit he has not always been an active Saints alumnus. But he is now. Following college and during the early part of his professional career, his focus was the University of Notre Dame. While serving Notre Dame with his committee work and his philanthropy, his primary relationship with Saints was through his class reunions. Over the years, he began to realize that Catholic secondary schools had far greater need than universities and that his energy as a volunteer was needed in this arena. Dr. Carriedo’s interest in serving others took shape in 1963, during his junior year at Notre Dame, when he heard Sargent Shriver speak about a new federal program, the Peace Corps. Motivated by the speech, he joined the organization following graduation and

and you have the blueprint for a great musical. Saints’ present production of How to Succeed actually began a couple of years ago with a request, when the students found out about the Broadway revival staring Daniel Radcliff. They saw a scene from it on the Tony Awards, and were hooked and ran into my classroom insisting I see the Youtube of the Tony Awards. I must say, I was impressed with young Radcliff’s performance; Harry Potter goes musical! Since then, they have been begging me for us to do this show. So we obtained the rights and an-nounced the show. Rarely have I seen such excitement for a show. The first week of school, 50 students auditioned for the fall musical. The Saints Players are proud to include young ladies in our cast from OLP, Mater Dei Catholic, and a couple of home-schooled girls. The cast sports a very enthusiastic group of students. We have been in rehearsal for two weeks now, and the talented cast is picking up songs and lines quickly. We are looking forward to a great show in November. This year features one of the biggest

…ONE OF OURS

In Loving Memory ofRobert Baughman4/20/95 – 9/27/12

It is with heavy hearts that St. Augustine High School announces the passing of senior student Robert Baughman who died Thursday, 9/27/12 af-

ter a long battle with cancer. Robby was a scholar, an athlete, a leader, a friend and a model Saintsman. He will be missed by all.

Funeral Mass will be heldMonday, October 8th at 1:00 pm

In lieu of flowers donations to St. Augustine High School Scholarship Fund or St. Jude Hospital Fund may be made in Robby’s name.

Why care what happened on the African shores of the Mediterranean in the fourth and fifth centuries? What’s that to us to-day? Had Saint Augustine not lived

there from 354 to 430 A.D., these questions would be difficult to answer. Augustine’s long battle with his conscience, his quest for happiness and community, his restlessness with the trappings of society and his search for God make him relevant to those who meet these same challenges today. Augustine was born on 13 November 354 A.D. at Tagaste, a market town in the Roman province of Numidia now re-named Souk Ahras, Algeria. His mother was Monica, who was wed at

the age of 17. Augustine’s father was Patricius, a small farmer and town official 23 years Monica’s senior. He was not always faithful to his marriage vows. Patricius was a pagan, but Monica was a staunch Christian from a local section of the Berber race. Augustine was not baptized as a child. His mother however taught him to revere Christ. Augustine disliked his early schooling because he felt it offered little more than boredom and corporal punishment. He used his phenomenal memory and quick mind to advantage, yet not without receiving both temporary and permanent scars. Later in life he exaggerated, Who would not shrink back in horror and choose death, if given the choice between dying and re-living his childhood? Spending his 16th year at home in idleness while his parents planned his higher education, Augustine associated with layabouts. My invisible enemy walked roughly over me, and seduced me because I was so willing to be seduced. Augustine was sent to a school of rhetoric in Carthage, the major port nearest Tagaste. There he came under the lasting influence of Cicero, through whose writings his yearning for the wisdom of eternal truth was intensified. He also acquired a mistress - name unknown - and they lived together for the next fifteen years. When Augustine was eighteen, they became the parents of a son whom they called Adeodatus, a popular local name that meant given by God. Of these years Augustine later wrote: I was not yet in love, but I loved love itself. I sought something to love. To love and to be loved was sweet to me, the more so if I could enjoy my love sensually. . . I loved to perish, I loved my failings, not that for which I was failing, but my failings themselves. Augustine’s interest in the Scriptures did not go beyond their literary style, and that he found unattractive. During his nineteenth year he turned to the religious teach-ings of the Manichaean sect. These people followed the teaching of Manes, a fanatic

from Mesopotamia who claimed to be the Holy Spirit and who had been crucified by the Persian government in 277 A.D. Manes’ theory about the problem of evil in the world won Augustine’s discipleship. Never one to do things by halves, Augustine threw all his native energy into his newly-found belief. His distressed mother consulted a bishop who had once been a Manichaean himself. Telling Monica that a man of Augus-tine’s intelligence would not long be ensnared by Manes’ strange mixture of ideas, he correctly predicted: The son of such tears as yours will not perish.

worked with the Ayara Indians in Bolivia. This experience led to a desire to be an educator. At New York University he earned a Masters de-gree studying the Education of the Disadvantaged. He continued his education at Harvard, studying Student Planning and Social Policy and earning a Doctorate in Education. Following a highly successful career in teaching and administration in public education, Dr. Carriedo served as a research associate studying the nature of effective Catholic schools.

While continuing to serve as a consultant to school districts on school improvement plans, Dr. Carriedo has also become an increasingly larger fixture at Saints over the past several years. In his very quiet manner, Dr. Carriedo has become an influential face for his alma mater, helping to plan the 50th year reunion for class of ‘61’s and becoming a member of the Cor Unum Legacy Society, a group that designates a portion of their estate to Saints. Most recently he was named varsity tennis coach and looks forward to giving back to the school that gave him the tools for a successful life. When asked what he believed was the ideal Saints Alum, Dr. Carriedo stated: “Ideally, the alumnus comes to recognize the importance of Saints in his development – academically, spiritually and socially. It is an acknowledg-ment that Saints allowed him to prepare for a career, lead a faith-based life and make a contribution to his community. “Additionally, the ideal alumnus advocates for his alma mater to family, friends and the community when it is appropriate. I am always encourag-ing families to consider Saints as an option for their sons. I am interested in enlarging the Saints family and celebrating its quality academic program, Catholic tradition and fine athletic program.” Finally, what is the role of the alumnus in instilling the “Saints Experi-ence” to the next generation? The contribution need not be only financial, but can be made in the form of volunteer work, attendance at Saints athletic events, reunions, and other activities. This is a tangible way of saying “thank you.” Measuring the worth of a person’s life is a difficult task. It is easy to stumble in trying to evaluate the quality and magnitude of a person’s contribu-tion to the fabric of the community. Dr. Carriedo has lived his life giving back to those communities that made a difference in his life. In all the endeavors of his life, the Peace Corps, teaching, coaching, school administration, com-mittee work at Notre Dame, Saints class reunions and finally, returning to his alma mater to coach tennis, Dr. Carriedo has intentionally tried to be a person who serves others. Saints is indeed blessed to have Dr. Reuben Carriedo, Saintsman of the Class of 1961, return to the place that helped form him into a man who contin-ues to contribute to the Saints Experience.

The Poway community is a more beautiful place thanks to three Eagle Scouts, Steven Grosse, Joseph McCabe, and Nicholas Muñoz.

On August 26, 2012, Steven Grosse, Joseph McCabe, and Nicholas Muñoz from Troop 688 were awarded Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle Scout, the culminating mark of twelve years in scouting. They began their scouting careers in kindergarten as Tiger Cubs in Pack 654 of St. Michael’s Catholic School in Poway. Steven Grosse, son of Mike and Barb Grosse of Poway, earned 34 merit badges and held many leadership positions in scouting including librarian, patrol leader Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader. He also attended the National Youth Leadership Conference and was elected into the Order of the Arrow. His fondest scout memories are from attending summer camps, especially Emerald Bay, a camp on Catalina Island. Joseph McCabe, son of Ed and Nancy McCabe of Rancho Bernardo, received 24 merit badges, and held the positions of Chaplain’s Aide, Patrol Leader, Assistant Senior Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader. Camp Kern and strong camaraderie with other scouts best highlight Joe’s scouting experience. Nicholas Muñoz, son of Jaime and Connie Muñoz of Poway, was awarded 30 merit badges and demonstrated leadership as Assistant Senior Patrol Leader Patrol leader, Librarian, and Order of the Arrow Troop Representative. His favorite parts of the scouting experience were summer camps, camping with his friends, and advancing through the ranks. In addition to earning merit badges, each of the boys completed

a community service project that consisted of conceptualizing the project, designing the structures, creating a budget, fundraising, and managing their peers in the construction. Steven Grosse constructed a welcoming pillar at the entrance of Blue Sky Ecological Reserve, a favorite hiking destination. He blended his love of hiking with his interest in architecture to create a pillar marking the trailhead at Blue Sky. The stone pillar stands as a beautiful welcoming for hikers and will always hold special memories for Steven of his time in scouting. Joseph McCabe, a graduate of St. Michael’s School, chose to beautify his alma mater’s campus with a shrine to St. Joseph. He designed and landscaped a previously barren corner outside of the 5th grade classrooms to be an area of prayer and reflection. Nicholas Muñoz also beautified Blue Sky Ecological Reserve by installing fencing and decorative boulders around the mound in the parking lot. This project is especially meaningful for Nick because the San Diego County Wildfires of 2007 that burnt his family’s home to the ground, also affected Blue Sky Reserve. This project was an opportunity for Nick to play a part in rebuilding after the devastating effects of the fire. In addition to their scouting achievements, these three young men are active in their Church, school, and community. All three are entering their senior year at Saint Augustine High School and are looking forward to attending college next year.

Editor’s Note: In the coming months, Saints Scene will feature more Saintsmen, who have become Eagle Scouts.

The Hall of Fame was established in 1995 to honor the athletic accom-plishments of our Alumni and supporting personnel. The Hall of Fame has two categories: Athletic accomplishments: Each person nominated for consideration (an nominations can come from anyone) are gauged on performance, awards, post high school teams, including college, military and profes-sional. An athlete must have 20 points to be considered for election. For example: Athlete A has four varsity letters (one point each) has been All- League once (one point) and All CIF once (two points). Dave played four years in college (eight points) and was All-American once (four points) etc. The exception is if a player is headed in the direction point-wise, but due to injury or circumstances was unable to continue, can still be considered. Meritorious members are voted on based on the contributions to the athletic program in other ways for contributions to Saints athletic depart-ment and legacy that cannot be quantified but are no less important to the history of our school.

Well Done, Sean Barrett (’03)

Sean Barrett, a member of the Class of 2003 was named to the Saints Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009. Sean, a multi-sport athlete and scholar, who excelled as a varsity let-terman in baseball, cross country and track, wasn’t able to attend the school’s Hall of

Fame ceremonies three years ago. He was busy. Busy being a Captain in the United States Marine Corps, where he was serving the first of two tours in Afghanistan. Sean’s remarkable career was belatedly saluted last month when he returned to the school and shared the spotlight with three Saintsmen, who were enshrined into the Saints Athletic Hall of Fame for 2012. From Saints, Sean attended Harvard University, where he was an All-New England performer in track and cross country. Later, as a Marine, he was All-USMC cross country champion. Those are just a few of the many, many awards he earned in high school, college and as a U.S. Marine. Currently, Sean is still in active duty based in Washington DC. It was great seeing Sean on campus, again and, God Bless you for your service. You honor all of us.

Still Running—USMC Captain Sean Barrett (’03) remains active in long distance running events while in the service.

Catching Up—Sean Bar-rett (far right) poses with 2005 Saints Golf Team after the Golf Team and Coach Greg Ranney were inducted last month into the Saints Athletic Hall of Fame. While not on the golf team, Sean was honored for his 2009 in-duction into the HOF be-cause he was on active duty when his fellow 2009 inductees were enshrined.
