summer 2010 Blakefield message from the president

s we mark the completion of this, our 75th academic year at Blakefield, I am reminded of just how bittersweet these days are. AThe Eighth Grade Celebration took place on Friday, May 28th and our finishing Middle Schoolers are eager to move forward with their high school careers. They are a particularly thoughtful and articulate group. One young man poignantly wrote to me: “I wanted to tell you how much your sermon at the celebration meant to me. You talked about Jesus’ bar mitzvah and that was when his calling became clear. I know that as I became a bar mitzvah, it was the first time I really understood and could relate to the message of the Torah. I had sat and listened to the Torah being read a hundred of times, but my bar mitzvah was the first time I read to others and had to tell the story. My calling is obviously not the same as Jesus’, but it was at my bar mitzvah that many people learned that I was not as shy as they thought, that I felt very strongly about helping other people, and I am more than just a swimmer….Even though I am Jewish, I like to say the prayer of St. Ignatius. After learning the Lord’s Prayer, I sometimes say it on my own, and I have liked learning about Jesus….Thank you again for reminding everyone that a bar mitzvah is a part of all of our pasts, including their Lord and Savior’s. It meant a lot to me. For me and the other boys, the message that it is our obligation to find and use our strengths, our gifts, and our callings in the service of God was very meaningful too.” Not to be outdone, our seniors garnered approximately $13M in scholarship offers along with 768 acceptances of admission at 178 institutions Prayer for our Graduates of higher learning. Our top 20 students will be attending: Boston College (2), Christopher Newport University, College of William and Mary, Cornell May You Bind To Yourself University, Emory University, Georgetown University, Harvard University, This Day and All Days: Johns Hopkins University, Loyola University , Notre Dame, , University of Maryland (3), University of California God’s power to guide you, at Berkeley, University of Virginia (2, notably for the first time in years a God’s might to uphold you, prestigious Jefferson Scholar), and Villanova University (2).

type of Examen. For Wordsworth, the construction of this poem was a meditative experience which provided him, in subsequent years, the opportunity to reflect upon his past, present, and anticipated future – very much in the spirit of an Examen. In the concluding stanza of “Tintern Abbey” Wordsworth writes, Therefore let the moon Shine on thee in thy solitary walk; And let the misty mountain-winds be free To blow against thee: and, in after years, When these wild ecstasies shall be matured Into a sober pleasure; when thy mind Shall be a mansion for all lovely forms, Thy memory be as a dwelling-place For all sweet sounds and harmonies; The emotional response that you are having at this moment is more beneficial in the long term than what any of us could possibly say to you today.

Medal Recipient On Thursday, March 25th, Joe Brune ‘52, was honored as the recipient of the 2010 Reverend Joseph M. Kelley, S.J. Medal. The Reverend Joseph M. Kelley, S.J. Medal, regarded as the highest form of recognition given to a Loyola graduate, honors an alumnus who is outstanding by reason of distinction gained in business or civic affairs. This person is recognized as a role model in his personal, family, and public life and thus serves as an example to the students and graduates of Loyola Blakefield. In 2002, Joe retired from Loyola Blakefield, but his passion for teaching continued. Joe volunteered at St. Ignatius Academy in downtown as a tutor for English students. However, Joe’s dedication didn’t allow him to stop there, and by the close of his first year, he was teaching an English class and assisting with high school counseling. He has since started teaching public speaking and literature. Through such dedication and genuine passion for students, Joe has grown his impact on St. Ignatius and is now in his seventh year there. He is especially proud of the St. Ignatius men who continue to Loyola Blakefield, where he has also returned to help coach the J.V. football team. Joe’s story and legacy has strengthened the mission at Loyola Blakefield, and we are proud to appropriately honor his great service. Joe is loved and respected by his former students, colleagues, family and friends for living and serving as a “Man for Others.”

Also, students were encouraged to bike to school. Over 40 students made the trip to school by bike and appeared with smiles and good cheer to start a day of classes!

“My years at Loyola have taught me that life is not simply about having material possessions, or lots of money, or holding incredible power. A life is made special by the people in it. My classmates have certainly made the journey thus far worthwhile. The possibilities for the class of 2010 are endless. Graduates will take little pieces of Loyola with them wherever they go to make the world a better place. Graduation is not the end of what we have learned at Loyola — it is only the beginning of something much greater.”

“A Catholic Education in the City We Loved” By Ellen Roberts or Drs. Salvatore and Edith Donohue, it was an easy decision to make Loyola Blakefield a part of Ftheir legacy planning. Catholic education was very important to them both, and they agreed many years ago that they would contribute what they could to further this important facet of Baltimore life. Dr. Sam Donohue passed away in 2002. His widow, Dr. Edie Donohue, said “Sam would have wanted me to continue to support Loyola Blakefield.” Therefore, Edie remains a loyal contributor to the Loyola Fund. In 2006, the school also learned from her that Loyola Blakefield would be the beneficiary of an estate gift from her own last will and testament. Salvatore R. Donohue ‘55 was a Loyola Don through and through. According to the 1955 Loyola Yearbook, Sam engaged in a variety of activities, including Sodality, Debate, Yearbook, Glee Club, German Club, Senior Dance Committee, and Boosters Club. Sam enjoyed sports, and participated in Class Athletics all four years while at Blakefield. He was named “Most Witty” by his classmates. Sam was also a bright, engaging and successful student. According to Edie, “Anyone who ever met Sam remembers him as kind, and very funny…a real entertainer.” Rev. John F. Sheridan, S.J., who taught Latin, Religion, English and Elocution in the 1950’s, knew the Donohue family very well. Fr. Sheridan first met young Sam years before he entered . Through time, the friendship between Fr. Sheridan and his student continued to strengthen. They remained in touch as Sam went on to Edith McParland and Loyola College and the University of Maryland Medical Sam Donohue ’55 enjoy School. a school dance. Some years later, Dr. Donohue was one of several Loyola alumni physicians who provided free annual physicals to the general and Catholic education, in particular, were a vitally Jesuit priests at Loyola.

This way, many future heart was “very small, very hard”. generations of students in Baltimore will hopefully have Edie said that she and her husband were always the same advantages as Sam and I enjoyed—the gift of a supportive of their alma maters.

They help keep me young.” Knowing early on that he wanted to be a teacher, Innes has grown to become most comfortable in that environment and as each summer ends, yearns to be back in the classroom. Contemplating this desire, Innes quotes the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, whose poem “The Swan” describes a creature laboring and awkward on land, but in its waters behaving in a natural grace. Through more than 40 years spent in the classroom - his “waters” - Innes measures the influence of a teacher as being defined by elements beyond those in the curriculum. “At times it can be difficult to know the impact we have as teachers,” said Innes. “When I hear from parents and students and they remark about the little things that I may have said or done that made a real difference, I realize that the impact is really occurring when we’re least aware.” Despite aspirations of one day spending his days on a small farm, raising animals and tending to a vegetable garden, a passion he inherited from his father, Innes shows no signs of slowing down yet. “Naturally as teachers, we sort of practice retiring every summer, but when August comes around I’m ready you can get here too.” Prep and after one year of working to be back in my element,” said Innes.

And after 40 years at Blakefield, Korrow reflects on what being connected within the community has meant. “I was immediately surrounded by people like Joe Brune ’52, John Stewart ’60, Jerry Savage and David Kennedy and Fr. Tom McDonald who were such great examples in education and they all were so dedicated to what they were doing,” said Korrow. “And the atmosphere was filled with people that we willing to help.” And, help didn’t always come from his colleagues. In 1993, Korrow’s son Billy died while still a student at Loyola. He recalls the number of alumni, mostly former students and athletes who responded so quickly to help. The Annual Billy Korrow Memorial Run was created and to this day is widely supported by members of the Blakefield community. “Billy loved Loyola and these guys all worked so hard to create something that would ensure that he would be remembered as a Don,” said Korrow. “They were a real comfort to me and my family.” Since arriving at Blakefield in 1970, Korrow has seen a lot of change, but one constant remains, which is the fact that cura personalis remains very evident. “I don’t recall if we talked about it as much early on and if we ever referred to it, but the sense of care for the individual has always been present,” said Korrow. And, after 40 years, Korrow who himself has proven to be a “constant” still holds true to that philosophy. “There are still a lot of young guys finding their way and if there is any way that I can help them, then that’s what Id’ like to do.” And although Korrow points to countless people who helped lead by example and aid him throughout his career at Blakefield, what he may not realize is that he himself has done just that for countless young men who have been fortunate enough to call him a coach or a teacher. After all, it’s all the same to him.

The Loyola Blakefield Community lost three champions of scholarship support in the past year. Through their outstanding contributions, James Sinclair of the Sheridan Foundation, Daniel M. Twomey of the Blair Foundation, and Robert Voelkel ’49, Greater Glory scholarship sponsor, helped pave the way for numerous young men to attend school at Loyola. Messieurs Twomey, Sinclair and Voelkel especially enjoyed receiving letters from their scholarship recipients and chatting with them at the annual scholarship luncheon. The memory of these gentlemen will be cherished by so many who were touched by their generosity and leadership.
