From The Hip!In my last writing, I alluded to a recent study of our development and and marketing programs.Certain constituents questioned whether La Salle College High School is academically on par with regional independent schools. While other schools tend to boast of their achievements, wehave taken a different approach and avoided ”grade inflation.” The fact is that our Lasallian commitment to rigorous learning has resulted in countless academic achievements.

• Every year, over 20% of La Salle’s graduating class matriculates at one of the top 50 colleges or universities in America. The Class of 2005 is en route to 89 different colleges and universities

• The average SAT score (combined Verbal and Math) for La Salle students is 1204 (recent publications have not used current figures), with the top 30% of our students having a combined SAT score of 1322

• The Class of 2005 earned documented scholarships and grants in excess of $15.2 million, which helped to defray the rising costs of higher education

• La Salle offers 19 AP courses, which is more than any of the other independent schools, and 84% of the 200 students who took the AP exam in 2005 scored 3 or better and are eligible for college credit

• In the last three years, La Salle has produced 28 National Merit Semifinalists and 67 National Merit Commended Students

La Salle students are taught to face challenges and solve problems. More importantly, the missionof La Salle College High School has at its core, a student body that is diverse.

• Socio-Economic (not just those who can afford to attend as over 35% of our students receive financial aid)

• Geographic (last year’s graduating class represented 84 grade schools and 63 zip codes) • Academic (not just the brightest and the best; rather, an academically diverse group

of students that discover an independence of thought and action that helps them to accept responsibility for themselves and prepares them to take their place in the world)

La Salle students are accepted at and attend some of the finest colleges and universities. La Salle’sCollege Counseling Center does not just place students; rather, builds a relationship with each student and counsels them to make an informed decision based on interests, abilities, values, and the financial needs of their family. La Salle students are well prepared for college – academically, intellectually, and socially – and less than 4% of La Salle students transfer schoolsonce they begin their college career, which provides further evidence of the remarkable efforts of our College Counseling Center in matching students with the best college or universityfor their needs. I can assure you that La Salle is academically above par and our students arethe proof.

Misconceptions are often a result of miscommunication. Communication and education go “hand in hand” as communication is the first step in educating constituents on the successes anddevelopments at La Salle College High School. One of the many goals of our new marketing and development programs is to improve communication and send a message that is clear, concise, and consistent.

Evolution……the Signature of La Salle College High School.

HistoryThe coat-of-arms for the House of Salla was first displayed in the County of Urgel, in Catalonia, Spain, where the family patriarch,Johan Salla, was the warrior chief of Alphonsus the Chaste, King of Oviedo. Together they expelled the Moors from Urgel. The broken legs that Johan Salla sustained during combat as he fought side-by-side with his King are the origin of the broken chevronsof gold on a field of azure (blue) in the Salla Family coat-of-arms. In the thirteenth century, the Salla Family migrated to the Basque province in the south of France, and although their name became French (De La Salle), they retained “SALLA” as their battle cry. The family later migrated to Rheims, France, the birthplace of St. John Baptist de La Salle.

The Signature of La Salle College High SchoolThe signature of La Salle College High School is derived from the seal (or emblem), which is a fundamental identifier of the school.At the center of the seal rests the crest (or coat-of-arms) of La Salle College High School. The top of the crest contains a battle helmet representing the family of St. John Baptist de La Salle and their warrior heritage from Spain. The bottom features the Latinmotto Virtus Scientia, meaning Virtue and Knowledge, along with 1858, the year in which La Salle College High School was founded by the Christian Brothers at St. Michael parish in North Philadelphia.

The center of the crest bears the quartered shield. The shield is divided by a cross, the core of all Christian symbols, and a statement to the school’s adherence to Catholic values and traditions, which are embodied in the teachings of St. John Baptist de La Salle, founder of the Christian Brothers. In the upper left hand corner is the star of faith of the Christian Brothers, which signifies the faith the school seeks to foster in its students. The lower right hand corner holds a single fracted chevron. The fracted (or broken) chevron has been used over the centuries by followers of St. John Baptist de La Salle to evoke his memory. The coat of arms of the De La Salle Family portrays three such chevrons of gold on a field of blue.

The signature of La Salle College High School consists of a mark and typography. The mark is the quartered shield, which fordecades has remained in the forefront of Lasallian symbols. The typography features Bodoni BE Condensed, a serif font that complements the mark. The signature retains the traditional La Salle colors of Blue and Gold, which stem from the originalcoat-of-arms of the De La Salle Family.

The devastation in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast wasoverwhelming. Almost no one in this area was unaffectedand over one million people are either homeless or suffering from the terrible consequences of HurricaneKatrina, including Lasallians, Brothers and partners, andschools in the New Orleans area (New Orleans and Santa Fe District).

In solidarity with our Lasallians in the New Orleans area and in an effort to provide assistance, the La Salle community of students, parents, faculty, and staff held a collection in theschool from September 13 – 15, 2005. A total of $10,006.00was raised and $10,000,00 was sent to the Christian BrothersConference specifically for hurricane relief for those in the New Orleans area.

Two Christian Brothers’ schools, St. Paul’s High School inCovington, LA and De La Salle High School in the GardenDistrict of New Orleans, sustained serious damage. La Salle College High School reached out to these two schools and offered to take as many as fifteen students to finish all or part of their senior year at La Salle. The La Sallecommunity responded overwhelmingly to a request for "hostfamilies" as over fifty families offered to take these boys intotheir homes. Fortunately, both of the schools felt that theycould reopen their doors by November and most of the boysexpressed a strong desire to stay in the area and return to school.

La Salle’s offer to these schools will remain “open”, but efforts will now focus on providing unique ways in which wecan utilize our talents and strengths to help other schools in this ravaged area.

The Fab Four – Members of the Class of 2009 on their first day of school.

With 291 students, the Class of 2009 is the largest in the history of La Salle College High School. The class began itscareer at La Salle on Tuesday, September 6, 2005 by planting a class tree and learning the school’s Alma Mater from Marty Stanczak ’60, Dean of Students.

Alumni Association President’s CornerAt graduation practice this past June, I had the chance to ADDRESS the Class of 2005. They were obviously still caught up in the excitement of what had been accomplished over their past year. With five league championships, scholarships totaling $15.2 million, 8 National Merit Finalists, 24 National Merit Commended students, 87 members of the National Honor Society, and various band awards, they were rightfully excited with their accomplishments.

I asked them to decide what their legacy would be. I suspect it’s difficult for them at this juncture to comprehend fully how muchmore they have to offer as a class. As they walk out of the building following graduation, there can be a sense that one door isclosing as the next opens. While in certain respects this is true, what sets La Salle apart is the fact that the door never really closes.While the accomplishments of the class of 2005 are great, it will only be the beginning of their legacy. Each class has its opportunityto define and break down the barriers in which it will operate. Yes, in large part the accomplishments may be individual accolades.But as a La Salle community, there will be the opportunities to cross class years, to continue to leave the mark of St. John Baptist de La Salle. How we latch on to those opportunities is what makes our institution great.

La Salle College High School honors its students in many ways. The placards in the gym and trophy case testify, in part, to theaccomplishments of students during their four years at La Salle. The Hall of Fame gives recognition to alumni of La Salle. Admissionhere is driven by what graduates have accomplished since their four years at La Salle. What is done with the tools and the fire in the heart bestowed while at La Salle is really what drives our legacy; how our class is remembered. Looking at the Class of 1955,the graduates of 2005 saw its members proudly participating in graduation. They also saw a class that moved beyond the various trophies and championships seen in the gym and the trophy cases. Not only did they produce three Hall of Fame inductees,but their service to the school and the community is possibly unmatched by any other class.

“Boys will be boys but La Salle boys will be gentlemen.” No doubt I was made to understand what this meant as the expectation of my behavior during my four years at La Salle (having grown up around the Christian Brothers). But I then learned how this expectation carries beyond that brief part of our lives. I’ve probably been reminded of this principle more since leaving La Salle thanduring my tenure there. It encompasses not only the conduct once we “Enter to Learn”, but also once we “Leave to Serve”.

The call to service needs to start somewhere. I am honored to give my service to La Salle this coming year as President of yourAlumni Association. Being a “Brothers’ Boy” is more than having the diploma. It’s carrying on the principles of St. John Baptist de La Salle in whatever small way we can. Be it by helping with our various Christmas projects, helping students to better understand the opportunities ahead of them on Career Day, or honoring some of our exceptional graduates at our CommunionBreakfast and Hall of Fame induction. Our hope is to provide our alumni more opportunities to make a difference.

Taking this to heart, I’ll be sure to laugh often over this coming year. In our programs, I’ll take advantage of our opportunities toearn the affection of young children (probably easier than the respect of intelligent people). I’ll listen to your criticism and learnfrom it. I’ll continue to appreciate the beauty our school continues to march out its driveway.

We all have the opportunity to share in this endeavor. For those of us looking for ways to get started, supporting your Alumni Association can be an integral part of that plan. The money we raise from our various events and even dues serve to financially support sons and grandsons of alumni who otherwise might not be able to benefit from a fine La Salle education. Come out to our events so I have a chance to laugh with you. It’s a small way to make a difference, and I bet you’ll find that you’ll have fun and feel good about it in the process. Remember that aspiring to financially assist more families of alumni is the worthwhile cause driving all of our efforts. May we all succeed together!!

Live Jesus in our hearts, forever.

Gerard M. Lowery ’78 President

The influence of John Baptist de La Salle upon the world of education was initially

felt with the establishment of his first school in 1679. Today, his impact on

education is much more profound as it is felt in over 900 schools in Africa, North and

South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. Nearly one million students all across

the world attend Lasallian institutions on a daily basis.

Initially, John Baptist de La Salle’s mission was to establish gratuitous schools for

children of workmen and the poor; teaching them reading, writing and arithmetic while

using the catechism to give these students an education with the purpose of forming

good Christians. He saw these schools as a response to the needs of his society –

the education of poor boys.

What would our founder

think?Forward by Joe Parisi


The primary focus of De La Salle and the group of men thatwould become known as the Brothers of the Christian schoolswas to establish gratuitous schools so that students could beprepared for useful occupations. One of the more innovativeaspects of the first Lasallian schools was the use of the vernacu-lar in instruction. This was in response to the obvious need ofthose first students to be able to read and write in French inorder to gain employment.

Besides training his own teachers thoroughly, De La Salle spent a part of his life training secular teachers throughout theFrench countryside.

In 1705, De La Salle accepted the requests of a number ofwealthy families to open a Christian boarding school for theirchildren. This involved an enlargement of the curriculum to helpprepare these young men for their professional careers. Theseschools remained gratuitous even though money was acceptedfor food and lodging of the pupils. Four years later De La Salleenlarged his first boarding facility in order to assume responsi-bility as well as care for young delinquents from wealthier families. Rehabilitation was the ultimate goal for these youngmen who could, if their conduct was deemed satisfactory, join the other boarders.

In response to the needs of 19th Century France, the Brothers made notable contributions to the development oftechnical schools, schools of agriculture and schools of design, which served localized needs.

How has De La Salle’s Philosophy evolved?Throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, theBrothers of the Christian Schools and its lay partners continueDe La Salle’s work through their commitment to the educationof young people, and in particular for the poor. They have further defined the poor as lacking financially, spiritually orsocially. This relationship with the poor challenges all Lasallianeducators, even those who teach in institutions similar to La Salle High School, to sensitize those students in their chargeto the plight of the poor and to challenge them to serve thepoor, the sick, and the aging. The Brothers and their lay part-ners have been active on behalf of refugees and immigrants.They have opened orphanages and centers for young people introuble with the law. They have established centers for youngpeople who have learning differences. They have establishedprograms for young people and adults who have dropped outof school. They currently run educational programs for streetchildren. Elementary schools such as La Salle Academy inKensington and the St. Miguel School in Camden are providingmany children who are living at or below the poverty level with a Lasallian education at minimal or in many cases, no cost.

Today, the goal of Lasallian institutions worldwide,whether serving the poor directly, or through the affluent, remains the same:“To work hard to awaken, in its students, a sense of meaning of their livesas individuals. It should help the student develop a sense of autonomythrough personal reflection and the development of a critical spirit. Thestudent should be helped to think clearly, to express their personal opinionsand to seek out and to respect the truth. Students are taught to make use oftheir freedoms, to overcome prejudices, ready made ideas and social pressures. Lastly, students are encouraged to listen, to seek, to understand,to trust others, to be ready to help others, to love, to respect, to contemplate:all of this as an attempt to help the student to develop in the image of God”.The Lasallian Mission of Human and Christian Education – A Shared Mission

What would St. John Baptist de La Salle think about the David Program?by John Keenan ’80

St. John Baptist de La Salle would say La Salle College HighSchool’s long tradition of educating and guiding young men ofvarious abilities and backgrounds in a challenging and nurturingenvironment continues with the addition of The David Program.The David Program continues La Salle's legacy of touching theminds and hearts of students by providing adaptive study strategies, and an understanding of academic strengths andweaknesses to increase the students sense of self worth.

The David Program provides a daily class period for a selectednumber of college bound students with a mild learning differ-ence. Through a seriousness of purpose, consistent effort ,understanding and acceptance of his individual learningstyles/strengths, and adapted strategies, a student with a learn-ing difference can grow towards self-advocacy and academicsuccess. The addition of a specific time frame is a continuationof the Lasallian effort to meet the specific needs of students.

As quoted by a David Center student, “St. La Salle would likethe David Program because even though he was the promoterof teaching a full classroom of students, he never lost sight of the individual student’s needs. The David Program addressesthe individual learning styles of students so the role of St. La Salle is continued.”

St. La Salle looked into the core of the individual. La Salle was a hands-on teacher. He advocated the use of practical, easyto implement teaching methods. He believed students shouldbe taught in their native language instead of Latin, as was the custom.

The David Program continues to search for methods to meeteach student’s personal needs. Today, some students with language processing difficulties use “Books on Tape” as theyread. Students are encouraged to use technology to enhance their learning repertoire. By using appropriate accommodations and adaptive strategies students becomeaware of their invisible differences and are able to turn their weaknesses into strengths.

St. La Salle listened to people, saw needs, felt compassion, and prayed to the Spirit for guidance. He used every resource togain assistance. St. La Salle believed in the intellectual and gentlemanly potential of boys of all classes and backgrounds.He believed in the worth of each of these young men and usedinsight and adaptability to find success. St. La Salle believed aman should always be growing, maturing, and developing.Through the David Program students learn that challenges canbe exciting and that if they focus and stay on course nothing isbeyond their capacity. The David Program strives to inspire,affirm and empower young men to discover their God givenpotential and to realize that life is an amazing journey. It is amessage that would make St. John Baptist de La Salle smile.

What Would Our Founder Think? (continued on next page)

What Would Our Founder Think? (continued)

Drawings of David Diehl ’55 and Brother David Albert, FSC,two fixtures in counseling at La Salle, hang in the stairwayof the new David Center.

The David Program assists students with mild learning differences and is housed in a building adjacent to theBrothers’ Residence.

The program’s success over the past 15 years has been substantial, but underneath the headlines has been the sweatyhours of field practice, countless film sessions, and demandingvisits to the weight room. This sense of commitment, teamwork, and competition not only creates winning, but alsodevelops character through success and disappointment.Together the young men and coaching staffs work toward common personal and team goals, thus building a sense of achievement, community, and purpose.

De La Salle would also be concerned about the competitivenessof such a program, for nothing is perfect, and the nature ofcompetition is designed to create both a “winner” and a“loser” and so I believe he would reluctantly comment in regardto its intensity which ultimately leads to team selections whichthen excludes those not chosen for the team experience. Whilethis may be providential and lead those not selected to othersuccessful endeavors it also creates sadness, feelings of rejection, denial of actual talent levels. De La Salle might sharein the frustration of solving this dilemma because just addingother teams is not an option due to limited field space, financialrestrictions, and availability of qualified coaches.

ToughnessLike most Saints, De La Salle had tough times! His schools were threatened by jealous competitors, his financial backersoften disappeared, the students often were unruly and “ragtag” so that classroom discipline was challenging. Eventuallythese challenges, and many more, pushed the Founder to an emotional breaking point where he had to decide betweenending his mission and seeing it through to the end regardlessof its outcome. For La Salle this meant committing himself totally in what became known as the “heroic vale” – to fullycommit to his new enterprise by thus abandoning his personalwealth and choosing to “live on bread alone” if necessary. No one needs to remind him that life is difficult, and that we,too, are driven to the point of every day frustration, set backs, and hopelessness.

Athletics, and its sense of competition and immediate observ-able rewards/failures, can be a microcosm of this life lesson and so La Salle would hear the lacrosse coaches consistentlyexpress the importance of “finishing strong”…a drill, a practice,a weight lift, a season, a test, a tough class, a school year, orthe rest of us a work day! It is one thing to be defeated on the field by a better opponent, quite another to be outworked,and it is unacceptable to quit, but each of these dims in comparison to the larger failure of not growing in our life mission to become men.

Spiritual Life & CommunityLacrosse may have more spiritual roots than any game inAmerica, and while French Jesuits may have given the Indiangame its name its ties to the spiritual life are almost expected, thus the La Salle Lacrosse program has two spiritual responsibilities.

First, to make sure the players understand and respect theNative American game – its myths and legends and how it is a gift from God, and second, to then implement our Catholic heritage.

This is primarily accomplished through a common respect andconcern among the players, a season opening Mass, and a jointCommunity service “Branch-Out Day” with La Salle’s Baseballprogram to St. Vincent de Paul Parish in Germantown wherethe players help prepare the parish fields and garden for their summer camp children. The day ends with a joint cook-outand sense of shared mission for others.

ConclusionUltimately, these experiences, intertwined with the joys of winning and the agony of defeat help, create a sense of community and belonging which hopefully empowers players,coaches, and parents’ current friendships and, thus inspiresfuture endeavors. The entire lacrosse experience should be fun! We all need to have fun because it brings out the child in us and allows, as De La Salle so often said, “for hearts to be touched”.

What Would Our Founder Think? (continued on next page)

What Would St. John Baptist de La Salle think about the Lacrosse and Athletic Programs?by Bill Leahy

IntroductionIf the Founder were to visit La Salle College High School and spend time watching the athletic program he would beboth proud and a tad puzzled. Confused in that organized athletics were not an every day part of the schooling of youngmen entrusted to his care in 17th century France. Plus, hisschools were for the “street urchins” of his day and were not necessarily funded to support such extra-curricular activities.

Nevertheless, De La Salle understood, maybe better than any educator of his day, the importance and significance ofteamwork. Therefore, after overcoming his initial curiosity in regard to such sports as American football, baseball, and Native American lacrosse he would see, I think, value in such interpersonal activities – the teamwork they require, the character they build, the sense of commitment and personalresponsibility that is needed, and of course the over-riding mission to develop boys into men.

Introduction to La Salle Lacrosse ProgramThe lacrosse program, like so many of La Salle’s athletic teams,has experienced its share of success on the field – 12Philadelphia Catholic League Championships, 1 StateChampionship, and hundreds of individual player recognitionsranging from All-Catholics, to All-Americans, to Division ICollegians. While success breeds winning and excellent publicrelations, De La Salle would be more concerned with the introspective side of such an endeavor. The Founder’s originalclassrooms were the first school in the world to educate agroup of students (players) at the same time all learning fromthe same teacher (coach) and attempting to reach a commongoal. What goals were they? Well the obvious – to educatepoor boys in academic subjects, but also to teach them the importance of everyday manners and respect as well as the importance of developing an interior spiritual life.

AcademicsIt would be obvious to La Salle that lacrosse is a game which has the potential to offer the young man many life skillsand attributes, but that in the end it is still a game and is a priority clearly second to the classroom.

Players’ grades are monitored, flexibility granted for academicneeds, tutoring arranged as needed, and study hall created forextreme concerns. In fact, De La Salle might just be most interested in the young men struggling to balance both academics and athletics for in many ways these are the type of young people he was most drawn to serving long ago.

RespectThe first non-academic attribute that would be pleasing to the Founder would be the sense and attitude of respect that ispresent throughout the program from coaches to players to parents whether on the field, in the weight room, or the lockerroom. Lacrosse, as played by the Native American Indians, was agift given by God to the birds and the animals and then tohumans. In its spiritual form it demanded that all contestants be mentally and physically tough, that they use appropriate language, that they never sit, but run on the field, and that they end their contests with handshakes and a sense of community. All of these attributes are present in today’s La Salle Lacrosse program.

Competition & TeamworkAfter academic responsibility, and a sense of respect for thesport, the school, the players and coaches has been established,De La Salle might then turn his attention to the game itself, and to whether or not the group is working successfully toattain its common goals.

What would St. John Baptist de La Salle think of the Web Site?by Raymond Shay ’00

St. John Baptist de La Salle was an educational pioneer. In late17th Century France, most education was conducted in Latin.De La Salle, however, thought that learning in Latin was imprac-tical for the students in his schools. They could learn to readand write more rapidly in their native language.

Thus, De La Salle instructed his teachers to teach in the vernacular. As with so many of his educational innovations, conducting lessons in the vernacular was very practical. The practical value was quite evident and the practice of teach-ing in the native language of students has been so widelyadopted, it may hardly seem like such an innovation today.

In today’s world, the word innovation seems inextricably tied to technology. Technology has become so much a part of our lives – especially the lives of the young students we serve –that it can be thought of as part of the native language.

I think St. John Baptist de La Salle would embrace the use of technology in delivering curriculum, the same way he insistedthat the Brothers in his schools teach their young students inthe language they were used to.

La Salle has complemented traditional means of curriculumdelivery with technology for years. Computer Labs and SMARTBoards have been two of the most visible academic technolo-gies at La Salle. The new web site is just another example oftechnology making a practical impact on the delivery of course material.

With students spending almost three hours a day on theInternet, it has become an essential part of their culture andcommunication skill set. As educators of the young, it makessense for us to communicate with our students through the Web.

The faculty at La Salle has responded to this new form of communication with students and embraced the delivery of course content via the Internet. With the new web site, faculty members now have the ability to update course web pages from anywhere they have Internet access making communication reach beyond the confines of class periods classrooms.

Although always stressing that the relationship and communication between teacher and student is at the heart of the educational experience, De La Salle recognized the need for a good administration and support services. Like agood administrator, the web site is a support for teachers, making it possible for them to use their gift to the fullest.

The web site is also a tool for the various constituencies beyond teachers and students. Administrators, parents, alumni,and coaches are some of the constituencies that are using the web site to communicate with the La Salle College High School Community. By strengthening the communicationwith and between these constituencies, the web site is helpingto strengthen the supports that make the educational experiences here possible. I think De La Salle would certainlyview the web site and the resulting communication as bothpractical and necessary for the education of the youth we serve.It is only fitting that we follow in De La Salle’s innovative footsteps and embrace the new “vernacular”.

Over the years, we have all heard the age-old-adage at onepoint or another: “Boys will be boys, but La Salle boys will begentlemen.” But what does this statement really mean? What is it that makes La Salle boys gentlemen?

The answer is not uncomplicated. The community of La Salle is held to a higher standard, starting as freshmen, continued fora lifetime. The higher standard is not only maintained in theclassroom; rather, the merit of a true Explorer is sustained in hisability to help others. La Salle men confer their dedication andspirit to others through many outlets and functions, activatingtheir mission and bringing to life what they’ve acquired fromthe benefit of a La Salle education. This is what makes our com-munity so unique. A true Lasallian brings the words of theprophet Luke to life, “Unto whomsoever much is given, of himshall be much required.”

Our responsibilities are certainly substantial, but it is theseresponsibilities that bring us all together and mold us into onedistinctive faction, the gentlemen of La Salle. The exceptionalnature and manner of the men of La Salle is derived from acommitment to excel. The challenge to excel is presented to theyoung men of La Salle from the start, a challenge that carrieson well after their tenure at the high school level is complete. It is the ingrained aspiration for excellence that separates themen of La Salle, it’s what makes our tradition all it has been andall it will continue to be. We are taught never to be satisfiedand to always strive for perfection, for although perfection isimpossible, excellence is very much an attainable goal.

It is not by good luck or fortune that La Salle is able to developthe young men of today into the gentlemen of the future, and it is not an obligation looked upon lightly. Any school canmake the claim that they produce the best and the brightest, but La Salle lives this through hardwork and dedication to its mission. There is no such impressive a pride as Explorer Pride,and this trait is undoubtedly the result of the gratitude and loy-alty we all feel as gentlemen of La Salle to the Gold and Blue.

In September of 1956, I stepped off the “26” bus at 20thStreet and Olney Avenue and walked towards La Salle CollegeHigh School. I was not sure where to go, but I encountered a Brother who was kind and patient with me. He directed me to the auditorium. It was here that I met my first homeroomteacher, Brother Gabriel.

Brother Gabriel was the first Brother who introduced the concept of “Brother’s Boy”. He told our homeroom that a“Brother’s Boy” is always a gentleman; he is always respectful, because he represents his family and his school.

I finished my freshman year, and over time I slowly began tounderstand what Brother Gabriel meant. My homeroom teach-ers over the final three years, Brother James, Brother Claude,and Brother Gregory all reinforced the concept of “Brother’sBoy”. They taught me that hard work, dedication and loyaltywere all important to making a complete La Salle Student.

I was fortunate to continue my association with the Brothers. I went to La Salle College and then on to West Catholic (a Brother’s school) where I began my teaching career. It was a comfort to me when I walked into a Brother’s school andexperienced the same concepts being taught to the young menat West Catholic. After West Catholic, I came to La Salle. I was back at home.

For the past 38 years I have tried to influence young men by being respectful and remembering that a “Brother’s Boy isalways a gentleman. As I told the freshman class this year,we have something in common – We are all “Brother’s Boys”.I’m proud to belong to this wonderful fraternity. I will always remember – “Boys will be boys, but La Salle Boys will be gentleman.”

William Knecht ’47, a Philadelphia rowing legend, began his rowing career at La Salle College High School under the eyeof Coach John B. Kelly, Sr. Kelly had a fondness for Knecht who was one of Vesper Boat Club’s promising young stars.Knecht was a national champion in the single in both his juniorand senior years at La Salle; victories that proved to be only the beginning.

After graduating La Salle in 1947, Bill went on to study atVillanova University and continued to train at Vesper B.C. Hequickly rose to elite status and as a young man stroked Vesper’seight to victory at the 1954 Pan-American Games. Eventually,Knecht would become John B. Kelly, Jr.’s training partner andwould battle daily with him in the singles. Kelly and Knechteventually joined forces and rowed the men’s double for theUnited States in the 1960 Olympics in Rome. Unfortunately,they had to withdraw from competition due to sudden illness.Kelly and Knecht continued to train in the double and were victorious together at the 1959 Pan-Am Games. Knecht alsowon in the men’s double at the 1963 Pan-Am Games for Vesper B.C., which became the third of three consecutive

Pan-Am victories.

Knecht’s greatest accomplishmentas an oarsman is his victory in the 1964 Olympic Games inTokyo. Bill sat in seven seat of the Vesper eight that represent-ed the United States. The Germans,who took the silver medal in therace, were over one and one-quarter boat lengths behind theAmericans. The United States wasnot victorious in the men’s eightagain until 2004, forty years later.

Because of his victory at the 1964 Olympics, Knecht was inducted into the Rowing Hall of Fame in Mystic Seaport,Connecticut, in 1965. Bill still remains as the only La SalleCollege High School alumnus to have won a gold medal at the Olympics.

Although Knecht retired from competitive rowing after the1964 Olympics, he continued to be a large presence in the sportof rowing. He served on the boards of numerous rowing associ-ations and was the American delegate to FISA, the internationalgoverning body of rowing. Knecht was also instrumental in the development of the Cooper River race course, which is hostto scholastic and collegiate championship regattas.

Because of his lifetime of support of rowing, Bill has been the recipient of several prestigious awards. In 1973, Knecht was awarded the John J. Carlin Award, which is given by the United States Rowing Association’s Board of Directors for commitment to the sport. The award has had only sixteenrecipients in the past thirty years. Knecht was awarded the Jack Franklin Award in 1993, which is given by the USRA’sReferee Commission for lifetime contributions to rowing. Finally,Villanova University, Knecht’s alma mater, hosts a memorialregatta in Bill’s name. The regatta draws over a thousand collegiate athletes each April and the Knecht Cup is awarded to the winner in the men’s eight event.

Knecht was as successful in business as he was in racing. While the Kellys were known for brickwork, Knecht was knownfor sheet metal. Bill owned and operated a million dollar sheet metal contracting business. He also served as president ofthe Sheet Metal Workers Union. Being the father of eight, Billwas able to balance his commitments to work, rowing, andfamily. He was known to enjoy the simpler things such as wineand vanilla ice cream after a long day of work.

In his book, All Together, Bill Stowe, stroke seat of the ’64Vesper eight, writes, “It was impossible to dislike Bill Knecht. He was simply a very good man as we measured him. He was the senior man and we all respected him greatly” (p.18). Bill succumbed to cancer at an early age and was interred withhis Olympic medal around his neck. Bill Knecht is the first La Salle College High School alumnus to win an Olympic gold medal and will be inducted posthumously into the Alumni Hall of Fame during the Golden Explorers Luncheon,which will take place on October 5, 2005. The induction will celebrate Bill Knecht, a true Golden Explorer.

Letter from the PresidentDear Alums and Friends of La Salle,

Once again you have been amazingly supportive of La Salle and its efforts to provide both an affordable and quality education for the more than 1000 young men who call this their school. As you can imagine without your generous support much of what isprovided would not be available to our students. For this the administration, faculty and students of La Salle Thank You!

Since arriving at La Salle it has been my pleasure to investigate and discover all the good that is here. From technologically advanced classrooms to excellent athletic facilities our young men are afforded the opportunity to excel at their God-given abilities.I am very pleased that our staff also benefits from your support through programs of continuing education and excellent classroom technology.

I point with pride to two programs that have been nationally recognized in recent months. Our outstanding music program with almost 40% of the students participating is the envy of many schools. Under the leadership of Mr. Joe Ciccimaro ’57, this program has grown from band to a many-phased music program. Our Jazz Band under the leadership of Mr. Joe Vettori has traditionally been recognized as one of the best in the Delaware Valley. One of the best elements of this program is its flexibility by incorporating the talents of many students who also play key roles in our sports, theater and activity programs.

Our nationally recognized Community TechServe Program benefits not only our students but also other students. This summer our boys traveled to Bishop LoughlinMemorial High School in Brooklyn, NY, De La Salle In Towne, La Salle Academy, and YoungScholars Charter School in Philadelphia to help wire and enhance computer services tothese schools. It is a great example of kids helping other kids. Also the sense of prideamong our students as a result of this national recognition only enhances interest insimilar programming for future years. I am especially proud of Jim Edelen ’01who returned to La Salle this summer to offer our Lab students his expertise inMicrosoft network maintenance and management. These programs are directed by Mrs. Gerri Light, Mr. Ray Shay ’00, and Mr. Peter Sigmund ’85.

As your new president, I congratulate you on making possible so much of these advances for La Salle. You can join me in celebrating all that La Salle has become. I thank you for your past support and I needyour continued help to build an even greater legacy for the future.

Please review this Annual Fund Report for 2004/2005 and be sure to include yourself in the next reporting if you haven’t done so yet. This year’sfund is now in full swing and will need your support if it is to again achieve its set goal.

It’s good to be home!

Gratefully yours,

Brother Richard Kestler, FSC ’60President

Five decades of alumni returned to their alma mater for Career Day in March. Alumni interested in sharing their educational and work experience with current La Salle students should contact the Alumni Ofice at (215) 223-2350 or [email protected]. Career Day is scheduled for Thursday, March 9, 2006. In an attempt to ensure that students do not hear the same presentation in successive years, the Alumni Association is attempting to develop a rotation of speakers who participate every other year (or every third year).

Frank’s motivations for a career in child advocacy are deeplyrooted in a lifelong passion for community service, recognitionof a civic need, and a willingness to step forward and lead.Much of his time these days is devoted to awakening a similarconsciousness for civic duty in other leaders—attorneys andbusiness professionals—to attract their valuable talent andneeded support.

Among his many responsibilities at Child Advocates, Frank and his colleagues recruit, train and supervise volunteer attorneys—more than 3,000 attorneys since assuming leader-ship of the program in 1992. Frank also helped to launch theMontgomery County Child Advocacy Project (MCAP), promotethe creation of internal pro bono programs within law firmsacross the city, and coordinate the National Children’s LawNetwork, a support resource for public and private child advocacy programs nationwide.

“Child advocacy cases provide an opportunity to utilize a widerange of skills possessed by all attorneys, whether their practicesinvolve litigation or are transactional in nature,” wrote Frank ina recent article published in The Legal Intelligencer.

Indeed, volunteer attorneys from many practice areas, includingintellectual property, real estate, business and finance, and litigation quickly acclimate and make valuable contributions tochild advocacy case loads, donating two to 10 hours per month.

Volunteer attorneys do not have to be litigators. “Much of our work at Child Advocates is convincing someone to dosomething—what attorneys and successful businesspeoplealready do,” explains Frank, noting that Lee Schwartzberg is a business attorney.

He emphasizes how his finely tuned moral compass found itsdirection at La Salle College High School. “The ChristianBrothers’ historical mission and commitment to put themselvesin the presence of the poor always appealed to me,” says Frank.

He participated in the Community Service Corps at La Salle.Those experiences “taught us that there are needs beyond ourown,” says Frank.

Through Joe Colistra at La Salle, Frank developed an interest in American History, which became his major at Penn. He graduated cum laude with an American History HonorsAward. Frank went on to earn his law degree and the WenkCommunity Legal Services Award at Villanova University School of Law.

Throughout his higher education, Frank remained connectedand very much interested in the work of the Christian BrothersCommunity. Upon his graduation from La Salle High, BrothersGene Graham and Lewis Mullen invited Frank into theCommunity’s Aspiring Program. Six years later, in 1981, hereceived the Habit of the Brothers and moved into Communityat Jeremy House in Mt. Airy. His ministry focused mostly onservice to juvenile offenders in the Saint Gabriel’s System.

Frank left the Christian Brothers in 1989 and applied hisChristian Brothers values to legal services advocacy. Positionswith the Delaware County Legal Assistance Association and asAdjunct Clinical Professor at Villanova University School of Law preceded his now 15-year tenure at Child Advocates.

Frank’s many professional affiliations, publications on advocacytopics, and litany of awards, including 2004 and 2005 SuperLawyer recognition by Philadelphia Magazine, only begin toreveal his secular fulfillment of the Christian Brothers mission.

“I loved life as a Brother,” reflects Frank. “I respect that experience and continue to stay in touch with the Community.The lessons learned about the value of human interdependencychanged my life.” We should all be proud that through Frankand other La Salle alumni answering his call, many needy children’s lives are being changed as well.To learn more aboutthe Support Center for Child Advocates, or to find out how to lend assistance, please visit http://www.advokid.org.
