Some school people are happy or maybe relieved when a school year concludes. It is a chance to catch your breath and look forward to a change in routine. I don’t feel that way even though the weeks are winding down on our 60th year of operation as I write this column. I wish the first day of school in the 2013-14 academic year was tomorrow. I can’t remember a time when I was more excited about what we have in store for our students. Don’t misunderstand me. This year has been exceptional. I am not in a hurry for it to end. There are aspects to this year I wish we could bottle and sprinkle generously over every school year. I will have fond memories of many seniors that I got to know through teaching and other avenues. The thing is, as I work with others in preparing for August, it is clear that next year holds much promise. Many advances are coming that will make the Trinity experience that much better for our students, just as this year’s students benefitted from previous improvements. Please BY DR. ROBERT (ROB) J.

Three days after graduation this year I was privileged to accompany a group of Trinity students to see the Dalai Lama. For me, both graduation and this visit were tremendous experiences and surprisingly “interconnected.” Graduation was time again for celebration and reflection. The Class of 2013 left us on May 19as graduating classes always do – not quite “finished products” but educated intensely in both matters of the heart and mind. What follows is a short reflection about how. As always, I was astounded by the accomplishments of our 57th senior class and the gifts our teachers shared this year. The class received scholarship offers surpassing $23 million. They were accepted to more than 130 colleges, universities and service academies across the country. Many will scatter across the nation, but many more will stay close to home, having earned the top scholarships at the University of Kentucky, the University principal’s corner principal’s of Louisville, Western Kentucky University and more.

It was a nicely staged event, though it was an inaugural one. We called it a brunch for the Trinity Emerald Society on Saturday, May 11 – a gathering on campus of approximately 100 alumni who graduated from Trinity 50 or more years ago. The turnout was larger than expected, the atmosphere was very cordial C atholic and the interaction among us and Trinity representatives was engaging and positive. I will speak for all of us there and say that we were taken back to Trinity’s earliest days, with happy B oldly memories of our time here as students, of our earliest leaders. The gathering took us back to fundamentals, to the simplest beginnings we witnessed in those years from 1953 to 1963.

“The Trinity High School Alumni Association Board promotes involvement of alumni to further the brotherhood of the school.”
I welcome the Class of 2013 to the Trinity Alumni Association! I was fortunate to present the Honor Alumnus Award at this year’s commencement ceremony. Mr. Jeff King ’95 (no relation) was the recipient. His bio is on page 19- 20 of this issue of The Leader.

Class of 2013 excels! Keith Rapp named Honorary Alumnus Since Trinity High School opened in September 1953, we have remained faithful to our mission: “To provide students with a superior high school education in a supportive atmosphere based upon Christian values in the Catholic tradition.” Boys become men of character and faith. What the Trinity Class of 2013 did in the classroom and outside our halls continues the remarkable recent run of well-rounded academic achievements, and makes us all very proud. At 315 members strong, these are just a few their accomplishments: • Awarded more than $23 million in scholarships • Accepted at more than 130 colleges and universities across the country • 100 percent of class took the ACT • Earned more than 685 hours in possible college credit • 8 recognized by the National Merit Corporation • 98 percent will be entering college this fall • 98 percent participated in a Christian Awakening Senior Retreat Alumni News Alumni • 10 Governor’s Scholars Program participants • 28 recipients of the Kentucky Commonwealth Diploma • 1 appointment to a United States service academy (U.S. Air Force Academy) • 36 recipients of the four-year Shamrock Award (Honor Roll all eight semesters of high school) • 114 recipients of the Senior Shamrock Award • 1 candidate for the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program • 65 members of the National Honor Society • 70 members of the National Beta Club • Performed more than 20,000 service hours over four years • State Championships in football, lacrosse, powerlifting, swimming, track and field, volleyball and wrestling; National Championship in powerlifting • 41 Academic First Team All-State and 27 Academic Honorable Mention All-State student-athletes
“The senior leadership aptly chose a theme of ‘Small Moments, Big Legacy’ for this year, and I’m confident they will look back in the years to come and affirm its meaning,” Trinity Principal Dan Zoeller H’07 said. “I witnessed them supporting one another in the classroom, during theater and choral performances, at art shows, on senior retreats and at ballgames. This kind of support was not limited to school events and occurred in times of trouble and loss. Along the way, during these small moments, many of them truly became brothers, a legacy that may last a lifetime.”
• For the eighth consecutive year, we required every senior to take the ACT as a graduation requirement. We were one of the first schools in the Commonwealth to have this requirement. We know that their ACT composite score is 23.5. This ranks as the third- highest ACT composite score in school history.
• It is at least the sixth time that our mean composite has exceeded 23. This class is academically diverse and represents Placement Test scores that ranged across the entire spectrum, from the first to the 99th percentile.
• Our students take a series of pre-ACT tests as underclassmen. These tests produce a predicted ACT score. Nearly 100 percent of the class met or exceeded their predicted ACT score. A strong ACT score offers three benefits: (1) access to the college one desires, (2) opportunities for scholarships and (3) better preparation for the rigors of college-level study.
• Mr. Frank Ward H’01, director of the Advanced Program, reports that 243 Advanced Placement exams were taken by the Class of 2013. The AP exams are one means to gain college credit while taking courses at Trinity.
• The class received scholarship offers of more than $23 million. They were accepted at more than 130 colleges and universities. Acceptances were offered by such schools as the United States Air Force Academy, Amherst College, The Johns Hopkins University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Catholic University of America, Marquette University, Auburn University, Savannah College of Art and Design, the University of Virginia, Boston College and the University of Notre Dame.

Members of the Class of 2013 join a brotherhood that now numbers more than 14,570. Our newest brother alumni received their diplomas at the annual commencement exercises on Sunday, May 19, at Bellarmine University. At the Senior Breakfast held in Alumni Hall on Friday, May 17, seniors and their fathers enjoyed a wonderful breakfast and each other’s company. Sponsored by the Alumni Association, Senior Breakfast is the graduating class’ official welcome into the Alumni Association. Principal Dan Zoeller H’07 addressed the Class of 2013 a final time, giving some very pointed and passionate words of wisdom. Alumni Association Chair John King ’80 addressed the class and encouraged them to continue their strong connection to Trinity via the Alumni Association.
One of the highlights of the morning was teacher Mr. Keith Rapp being named an Honorary Alumnus of the Class of 2013. Each year, the senior class gives the award to a faculty or staff member or friend of Trinity who is not a graduate for his/her contributions to the life of the school. Senior Class President Chris Hubbard introduced Mr. Rapp and presented to him an Honorary Alumnus certificate.

In 1999, Jeff joined The Hunt Construction Group, at which his first assignment was the UPS airport expansion, “Hub 2000.” In this position, he gained the valuable experience and knowledge in the construction business that he would later put to use on a global scale. Jeff feels that much of his spiritual foundation laid by his parents was strengthened during his days at Trinity as his education was grounded in a “faith community.” During his final semester of college, Jeff worked with the youth at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Louisville and was involved in reaching out to Sudanese youth who re-located to Louisville from their own troubled homeland. It was during this time that Jeff took a short mission trip to Jamaica, which fueled his desire for additional missionary service opportunities. In 2001, Jeff listened to the “still, small voice of God,” who said He wanted him in Sierra Leone, West Africa, to work with the poorest of the poor. It was in Sierra Leone that he was introduced to Mercy Ships, an international aid organization that delivers free, world-class healthcare services and development projects to the forgotten poor in developing nations. More than 1,500 crew members from around the globe serve annually. Each volunteer contributes his/her services to help fulfill the mission of Mercy Ships. Following the 2,000-year-old model of Jesus, Mercy Ships brings hope and healing to those in desperate need. The vessel is a former cruise liner that was remodeled to serve as a hospital. Some Mercy Ships missionaries work on land, helping people with various construction projects. Others remain on the ship to assist with the medical needs of the people of that country.

20 FOR ALUMNI AND FAMILY OF TRINITY HIGH SCHOOL leadermagazine Alumni News 2013 Trinity Peace Medal - Sister Barbara Bir, O.S.U. For more than four decades, the Trinity High School community has awarded the Trinity Peace Medal. The award recognizes a deserving individual or group for efforts that promote peacemaking, justice-building and service to others. Mr. Klaus Mittelsten H’92, who at the time was chair of Trinity’s Foreign Language Department, initiated the award, along with then-Trinity principal Rev. Thomas Duerr H’92. Recent recipients have included Dr. Sam Horton ’70, Sister Regina Bevelacqua H’06, Mr. Rob Locke, Mr. Michael Whiting and Mr. Fred Whittaker ’81. The 2013 Trinity Peace Medal is awarded to Sister Barbara Bir, O.S.U., education director at Community Catholic Center, Inc. Sister Barbara has been involved in the education of children all of her adult life. She began her career as a teacher in various parish schools before moving to education administration. She served as assistant principal and principal at Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic School. It was there that she implemented programs to push the school’s students to do better. Sister Barbara began a kindergarten program to increase the educational continuity and skills of the children. Additionally, she implemented an after-school care program for children to receive assistance in homework and as a way to provide a safe, stimulating environment after school hours. Sister Barbara’s talents were recognized by the Archdiocese of Louisville when she was asked to serve as coordinator of personnel services for all schools in the Archdiocese. In this role, she created, designed and implemented continuing education programs for principals and school counselors. In 2003, Sister Barbara was named executive director of Community Catholic Center, Inc., which is dedicated to making a quality Catholic education available and accessible to children living in a community in which no Catholic schools are present. That fall, students rode a bus an hour each way to attend St. Rose Catholic School in Germantown. Those early years at Community Catholic Center were a struggle. There were two part-time employees and only 13 students. Sister Barbara became a liaison between the faculty of St. Anthony Catholic School in Clarksville, Ind., where the students attended after the closure of St. Rose. Sister Barbara attended parent-teacher-student conferences to make sure she knew how each former St. Rose child was doing – a practice she continues to this day. In order to build a sense of trust and community, family meetings were held once a month so that the families could get to know one another and talk about parental concerns and school issues. Those meetings continue today and give the families an opportunity to talk, share ideas and problems, celebrate and learn. Sister Barbara guided the expansion of the program at Community Catholic Center to include high school and pre- kindergarten students. There are now tutoring programs at several locations as well as summer activities to help the students learn more about their environment and neighborhoods. This past year, the Community Catholic Center Board of Directors reorganized, and Sister Barbara became the education director. She now uses her education experience as a teacher and principal to more fully assist the students and their families. She visits each of the schools the students attend, attends conferences and other meetings called by the school, and schedules interventions if things are not going as well as expected. Sister Barbara also has served as formation director for the Ursuline Sisters and continues to work as a spiritual director and retreat director for the wider community. Sister Barbara has watched her first group of students at Community Catholic Center grow into mature young adults. She has grown to love them as her own family and is proud of their accomplishments. Seeing them become loving, caring, educated young people on their way to adulthood fills her with joy. She considers it a wonderful privilege to have been part of their lives. Sister Barbara has demonstrated that service to others is an important part of life as a Catholic Christian. Her concern for the less fortunate has been a hallmark of her career. Through her years of dedication to excellence in education, Sister Barbara has touched and enriched many lives. Sister Barbara is more than deserving of the Trinity Peace Medal.

William P. Bradford II H’03, director emeritus for the Trinity Department of Theatre Arts, was featured in The Record on March 14. Dr. Philip Brisson, director of music for the Cathedral of the Assumption, accompanied Bradford in presenting the Dupré/Claudel Stations of the Cross on March 19 at the Cathedral. The Dupré/Claudel version dates back to the early 1930s. Marcel Dupré, a prominent organist in Paris, was asked by his professor at the Paris Conservatory of Music to read the poetic meditations on the Stations of the Cross written by Paul Claudel. Dupré would follow each station with an improvised musical piece. This interpretation of a traditional Lenten service set the 14 stations to organ music intermixed with liturgical poetry. The highly complex piece is broken into 14 sections coordinating with the 14 Stations of the Cross. First, a meditation on the station is read. Following the poetry, a musical piece is played describing each reading. The music alone is 60 minutes. Combine that with the poetry and moments of silence and the program lasts about an hour and a half. Bradford, a long-time faculty member and retired instructor of the Youth Performing Arts School, prepared for several months.
Fred Whittaker ’81 was featured in The Record on Feb. 21. Whittaker, a 20-year veteran teacher at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School, was honored when he received the Father Joseph McGee Award for Outstanding Catholic Educator during the annual Salute to Catholic School Alumni on March 20 at the Galt House Hotel & Suites. At St. Francis of Assisi, Whittaker teaches science, religion and history to middle-school students. He also is the director of the after-school care program and the instructor for the eighth-grade confirmation program. He established a program at the school called Peace Families in which students do service work and have personal encounters with people “outside their comfort zones” – such as refugees resettled by Catholic Charities and people who have been homeless. And he is a sponsor of the middle-school social justice club called the Committee on Conscience, which, among other efforts, has raised tuition money to help refugees attend the school. Whittaker also directs the science fair at the school, which wrapped up earlier this month.

They were even bigger believers in Trinity High School. They were generous and consistent supporters of capital campaigns, the endowment and the Trinity Annual Fund. They also provided funding for the sculptures of the Trinity House patrons located in the courtyard in front of Old Trinity Hall. Each of their four sons – John II ’70, David ’72, Richard ’75 and Don ’81 – are Trinity alumni. Their daughter, Susan Loveland, is a 1976 Sacred Heart Academy alumna. Two of their grandsons – Matt and Thomas – also graduated from Trinity in 2010. Needless to say, the value of a Catholic education was paramount to the Ribars, and the irony is neither of them attended Catholic schools. John Sr. died unexpectedly in 2009. Two years later, realizing she had the blessing of knowing she only had a few months to live, Jean was able to reflect on the kind of legacy she wanted to leave. Thus was the beginning of the Ribar Family Scholarship at Trinity, the first of which will be awarded in the fall of 2013. “This is a wonderful way to commemorate not only how committed our parents were to Trinity but the huge role Trinity played in all our lives,” Don said. “Until I became a parent myself, I didn’t fully appreciate the sacrifices our parents made to ensure that we received a superior education.” That commitment to Catholic education was solidified in 1972, in part, because of a kind gesture by then-principal Rev. Tom Duerr H’92. That was the year that John Sr. lost his job. He had one child in college, a senior and a freshman at Trinity, plus two other children attending Catholic school. John Sr. went to Father Duerr and asked for a reprieve on payments, and was told he did not have to pay for that year. John declined and asked if it would be okay to defer payments. Father Duerr obliged. “Obviously, they sacrificed a lot,” Richard said. “But when things got better, they made sure to pay it back in spades. To me, it’s God’s grace.” “Mom and dad never forgot that generosity – ever,” John II said. According to Susan, Jean had always been moved by the testimonials given by scholarship recipients at Trinity dinners, especially with the character and gratitude these young men displayed. “She had seen firsthand what a Trinity education could mean for her own sons and grandsons, and wanted to extend those opportunities to others,” Susan said. “In many ways, the Trinity experience had a greater influence in my personal development than going to college,” Don said. “My Trinity experience was better than my undergraduate or graduate level education in terms of how it opened and filled my mind,” David said. “As dad was fond of noting, there’s no substitution for quality.” To highlight their parents’ commitment to the school and to create a lasting memory of them for future Trinity students, the Ribar children honored the wish of their mother and established a family scholarship for a worthy student who understands the lasting value of a Trinity education. “This scholarship helps continue the legacy,” Richard said. “It’s even more special to have the chance to help someone else start or continue his own legacy.” “I have always loved the concept of ‘pay it forward,’ ” Susan said. “Those of us who have benefitted from an excellent education have no choice but to ensure that others do as well.” “It’s a permanent manifestation of my parents’ belief in a quality, Catholic-based education,” John II said. “I hope the recipients gain a full dose of the Trinity spirit and have their lives changed as well.” Rev. Thomas A. Duerr Legacy Society Recognition society for those who The include Trinity in their gift planning Legacy A feature of the Trinity Dr. Joe Babey ’58 High School Foundation “Trinity was good for me. I came in as a boy and left as a man. I was average in high school, but I remember when one of my teachers, Father Dave Hazelip (H ’96), pulled me aside one day and said, ‘Joe Babey, you can be anything you want to be,’ and I believed him. Things started to change for me at that point. “Those of us from those early years didn’t have alumni we could emulate – we didn’t have a mayor, a business leader, a physician or a lawyer. We didn’t have donors or contributors who gave of their time, talent and treasure. It’s important to have those, and now that we do, estate planning is one tool that helps students achieve because it provides opportunities to excel. “Doing something like this shows others you care about Trinity and that it’s worth helping to continue its existence. Besides, it’s important to support education to help provide a good foundation for students who will be part of our society. “I want to be proud of my school from an educational perspective and support it so we can attract all students so they can experience a Trinity education and be successful. Trinity is like a child to me – I want to be proud of it. “You can call it giving back, you can call it a sense of responsibility. Call it what you will, but it’s important to do.”

Good Stewards of Your Donations
A recent article in USA Today should make Trinity donors appreciate the good stewardship of their contributions. The article noted that the average endowment values for American colleges and universities declined in 2012.
Harvard University dropped 4 percent and Yale was flat, while the University of Texas increased 6.5 percent. That’s in comparison to the Trinity High School Foundation’s endowment, which returned 12.8 percent in 2012.
Congratulations and thanks go to Investment Committee Chair Charlie Kane ’61 and the rest of the committee for being good stewards of generous donor dollars. Faculty and Staff Donor Spotlight on Joe Bryant ’75
Trinity alumnus and teacher Mr. Joe Bryant ’75 remembers what it was like as a student roaming the halls of Trinity. He also remembers the difficulties of the teen years, which is why he remains a motivated teacher even after more than three decades in the classroom.
“It’s always difficult to be a teenager,” Bryant said. “But today’s teens face greater challenges than ever before, and that’s why I want to be the best role model I can be for them.”
Bryant concluded his 33rd year as a teacher in May, and to say he’s been involved during that time is a gross understatement.
His assignments include teaching freshmen Health/ Physical Education and Basic First Aid. He also is co-chair of the Health/Physical Education Department, coordinator of the Trinity Intramural Program and moderator of intramural basketball.
Through the years, Bryant has been part of more than 20 senior retreats as well as many sophomore and junior retreats. He previously coached football for 11 years and has received the Ed Nolan Service Award, Honor Alumnus Award and Moderator of the Year Award. He also was co-founder of the freshman Rockin’ program and the Shamrock Bass Classic. Additionally, he has overseen CPR/AED training of faculty, staff and coaches for more than 20 years.
“Joe and I started teaching at the same time, and from day one he commanded the respect of both students and faculty at Trinity,” said classmate and colleague Mr. Dave Aberli ’75, Trinity director of students. “Joe has been a great role model for young men attending Trinity. He has a great knack of taking a no-nonsense approach to his work while also having the ability to share a laugh with his students when the occasion arises. Joe is a leader by example.”
“With all the emphasis we have these days with our students about being Men of Character, here is one who has for all those years been a true role model for our kids,” Trinity Chaplain Rev. Dave Zettel ’58 said. “He is invariably honest and straightforward in all his affairs. Joe is a true man of character who lives by principle and Christian values all day, every day.”
“Working as a teacher is something I get to do and not something I have to do,” Bryant said. “Hopefully I can make a difference in some young man’s life, just like the experience I had when I was a Trinity student.”
He also backs up those words by supporting Trinity financially as a regular donor to the Trinity Annual Fund.
“To me, Trinity is a place that provides a comfortable, caring environment that enables, supports and encourages young men to reach – and even exceed – their potential,” Bryant said. “Trinity provides challenging, enjoyable, academic, athletic and extra-curricular activities, and I support the Trinity Annual Fund because I feel it’s important that all young men have an opportunity to live the Trinity experience.”

Nearly 100 alumni attended the inaugural Trinity Emerald Society Brunch at Trinity’s Alumni Hall on May 11. The brunch was for alumni who had reached the 50-year graduation anniversary milestone. This year, the classes of 1957-63 and their former teachers were invited to attend. A great time was had by all. In addition to fellowship and the brunch, attendees heard a “State of the School” address from Trinity President Dr. Rob Mullen ’77, which highlighted many of the accomplishments Trinity has garnered over the years. Additionally, Class of 2013 Senior Class President Chris Hubbard gave a student reflection on his Trinity experience. Representatives from the classes of 1957-63 met earlier this year to begin planning the event. The group decided upon the name “Trinity Emerald Society” and to have the first such an event a brunch. The Emerald Society Brunch will be an annual event. Next year, the classes of 1957-64 will be invited to attend. “It was wonderful to see so many alumni from our early years,” Alumni Relations & Communications Director Travis Wagoner ’90 said. “I’ve worked with many of these alumni over the years to help plan their class reunions, and the Emerald Society Brunch was one big reunion. The love these alumni have for Trinity is amazing.” Trinity High School first opened her doors in September 1953 when Archbishop John Floersh anticipated the growth of Louisville’s eastern suburbs. We started with very humble beginnings in an abandoned grade school building. The first freshman class numbered just over 100 students. Four years later, those pioneering freshmen became Trinity’s first graduating class, the Class of 1957. Now, 60 years later, Trinity is more like a small college campus, comprising more than 1,300 students. The Trinity Alumni Association has grown to more than 14,570 strong and Trinity has become the best Catholic high school in the United States. We have those pioneering young men, faculty and staff in the 1950s and ’60s who took a chance on a brand new school to thank for it. They initiated the Trinity Tradition we have come to love. Many thanks to the following alumni who helped to make the inaugural Trinity Emerald Society Brunch a success:

They have four grandchildren and are members of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in La Grange, Ky.
Paul J. Schulte H’92, a market research executive and Trinity Hall of Fame member, gratefully acknowledges that Catholic education “has touched just about everything in my life.” The St. Louis native began his formation at St. Stephen Protomartyr Elementary School and at St. Mary’s High School. Upon graduation, he joined the Passionist Congregation and came to Louisville to study at Bellarmine University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy. After a year of theological study and vocational discernment in Chicago, Schulte returned to Louisville and began his career in market research.

Frederick J. Whittaker ’81 was the recipient of the Father Joseph McGee Award, which is awarded to an outstanding Catholic educator.

Whittaker is an educator who creates the opportunity for his students to experience and learn the subject matter. His after-school workshops have been recognized nationally. One of the initiatives of which he is most proud is a partnership created with the Jewish community of Louisville, in which his students learn about the Holocaust and meet survivors to hear their stories. Encouraging his students outside the classroom, Whittaker guided their creation of a service group, the Middle School Committee on Conscience, with the goal of combating “indifference.” The group partnered with Catholic Charities to focus their service efforts in raising scholarship funds for refugee children. Whittaker currently serves on the board of directors of the Louisville Regional Science and Engineering Fair, is an Executive member of the Jewish Community of Louisville’s Yom HaShaoh/Holocaust Remembrance Committee and is a co-coordinator of the Growing Forward Farmer’s Market.

Rocks collect toys for Kosair Children’s Hospital Trinity students and faculty collected 300 toys valued at approximately $3,000 for Jarrett’s Joy Cart at Kosair Children’s Hospital. Jarrett’s Joy Cart is a cart full of toys that is rolled through Kosair Children’s Hospital, bringing good cheer to patients. Jarrett, the cart’s namesake, is the nephew of former Trinity freshman football coach Mike Wagner H’09. Jarrett died of a rare cancer called Ewing’s sarcoma several years ago. By the time he was 13 years old, Jarrett had had cancer six times. He initiated the idea of the Joy Cart in order to help other children with cancer. As a patient, he knew that being in the hospital could be scary at times, especially for young children. Jarrett wanted to bring excitement and joy to the children at Kosair Children’s Hospital to let them know that someone was thinking about them. Trinity teacher Mr. John Kahl ’69 oversaw the toy drive and made the delivery to the hospital with one of Wagner’s trucks on April 11 “This is a wonderful Lenten response to a worthy cause,” Kahl said. “Trinity is a very giving place, and this is truly evident in this toy drive. On behalf of Jarrett, his family and the Kosair Childrens Hospital Foundation, please accept a heartfelt thank you.” Below is an article Mr. Kahl wrote about the toy delivery experience.
By John Kahl ’69 The Easter season offers us an opportunity to reflect and make changes in our lives. This is done in a myriad of ways, most often seen by sacrifice measured by our giving up candy or desserts. At Trinity, there is another way of reflecting and sacrificing: giving to children who are ill. Each Lenten season, starting Ash Wednesday and ending the Monday of Holy Week, Trinity students, faculty and staff hold a toy drive. Working in conjunction with Jarrett’s Joy Cart at Kosair Children’s Hospital, the Rocks collect toys to replenish the toy cart, which is wheeled through the children’s oncology ward. On April 11, it was time to make the Trinity toy delivery. James Quick, Conor Minogue and me traveled to the hospital distribute our gifts to the kids. Being the old veteran I am, I thought I was up to the task. The young men from Trinity were a bit tentative. When we arrived at the oncology ward and met up with the Joy Cart people, we were suddenly hit with the reality of every room being full. The youngest patient was less than 1 year old and the oldest was 18. We made our rounds as stoically as we could. We met a young man who is a student at North Hardin County High School. He had been a patient for one month. He had the biggest smile and the most optimistic outlook an 18-year-old can have. We also met a 13-year-old girl named Tanya who is from Louisville. She was walking down the hall with her IV and crutches and stopped by the cart. She could not believe she had the opportunity to make a selection just for her. We met her on the way out as she was going home. She would have to return to the hospital the next Tuesday. Additionally, we met a 9-year-old boy named Edgar from Indiana. His school held a fundraiser to help pay part of the medical bills while he was so far away from his friends. Edgar’s mom was wearing a T-shirt proclaiming: “Team Edgar.” He had a hard time finding the right toy, but he found one. There was a 6-year-old boy who was so weak he could not sit up; his mother put him on her knee while he pointed to the toy he wanted. James and Conor helped him make his decision. The stories go on and on – the parent who searched for something because their teenage daughter was going crazy with boredom, the nurses who scoured the cart for their patients who were too sick to be exposed to germs. It was a truly humbling experience to see the determination and grit these young people showed in their battles against cancer. Equally impressive were the nurses and doctors who were working with them. So many times we try to use the big and grandiose to find significance and meaning. Most of the time what we are searching for can be found in the smallest of actions. Who would have thought the simple act of buying a Match Box car, a coloring book or a Barbie doll could bring so much joy to a child who is sick? Who would have thought three people coming from afar bearing gifts to a child during the Easter season would depart receiving more than they gave? I am so thankful Trinity offers this ministry and hope we will be able to do it again next year.

3 ACE Rocks awarded scholarships Three members of Trinity’s ACE Club – seniors John Bindner, Matthew Heutz and Mitch Sirianno – were awarded scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each to the college of their choice from ACE Mentor Louisville, Inc. “ACE” stands for Architecture Construction Engineering and is for students who are interested in a career in one or all of those areas. This is Trinity’s second year participating in the program. Trinity students presented their project, which is a 50-story multi-purpose Target Corporation Headquarters to be located in downtown Louisville. Trinity had eight returning students and 12 new ones that brought a fresh perspective to the program. The adult mentoring team had some new faces as well, with James Strange and Jeff Hofmann from the ACE Louisville Affiliate Board of Directors assisting. The first few classes introduced the students to the industry with some interactive activities. The mentors found that the students enjoy using their hands and minds. “The ACE program exposes the different areas of architecture and construction to our students effectively,” Trinity ACE moderator Mr. Joseph Chittissery said. “This insight really opens their eyes to a whole list of potential careers.” Educators in more than 106 communities and 1,100 high schools across the U.S. have seen the difference ACE can make in their students’ academic performance, college aspirations and career motivation. Working with mentors from local professional firms, students are discovering the rewarding opportunities available to them as architects, interior designers, landscape architects, engineers, construction managers and tradespeople. Students meet after school with dedicated mentors who guide them through engaging, hands-on projects and field trips. Activities reinforce classroom learning in Math, Physics, Art, Computer Skills and other important subjects, establishing a direct link between curricular and career success. ACE mentors frequently provide qualified students with recommendations for college admissions, internships and full- time employment. ACE also has forged relationships with 44 colleges and universities nationwide that value what the program imparts to students and factor it into the admissions process.

TRINITY LEADER MAGAZINE TRINITY LEADER MAGAZINE TRINITY LEADER MAGAZINE celebraTion 2013 – Olde Tyme Trinity After last year’s celebraTion, with its large number of patrons in attendance at The Olmsted, complete with UK vs. U of L Final Four action, some wondered what the Trinity Family could do to follow up. Given the current uncertain economic times, would we be able to keep pace? Wonder no more. The generosity of the Trinity Family and our many friends came shining through again. celebraTion 2013 rivaled the number of last year’s attendees, drawing a capacity crowd and providing a wonderful reunion opportunity to support the school we love. Additionally, the event stands to match or even exceed last year’s dinner/auction in net proceeds. “The group of volunteers assembled provided us with a great mix of seasoned veterans and spirited newcomers,” said Joey Porter ’78, vice president for school advancement. “Anyone who thinks this event just falls together doesn’t know these folks. They work unbelievably hard.” The work for the event began early in the school year as meetings were held to organize volunteers into various committees in which they were interested. The theme, “Olde Tyme Trinity,” was chosen last spring, and our great friend Scott Scinta ’77 (Smashgraphix, Inc.) provided timely imagery for all promotional materials. People who step up as corporate sponsors are sought as early as April following the event, and these generous donors form the foundation of the fundraising element. “Our corporate sponsors are true partners in making this event a success,” added Trinity President Dr. Rob Mullen ’77. “Their support opens doors for students who otherwise would be shut out of this opportunity called Trinity.” (See p. 20 for a complete listing of sponsors.) As always, Trinity-themed items quickly sold out as patrons again used their BidPal devices to compete against their neighbors. The event grossed approximately $165,000. All the proceeds directly benefit student activity programs, student athletic programs and need-based financial aid programs. celebraTion helps keep tuition lower for families and proceeds are used for such expenses as new equipment for the Trinity Television Studio, where students are learning advanced communication and broadcasting skills and techniques; equipment for the Culinary Club, where students are becoming master chefs; stipends for activity moderators; materials for the Pep Club to keep school spirit at a high level throughout the year; referees for intramural games; lighting and other technical equipment in the auditorium; and much more. “Due to the work of so many volunteers, we are able to produce this event with very little expense,” Dr. Mullen remarked. “Nearly every dollar raised is returned to the school.”

SPRING SPORTS ROUNDUP
Lacrosse – State champs! The Lacrosse Rocks brought home our fifth state title with an 8-5 win in the boys’ lacrosse final on May 17 at St. Xavier. Trinity’s defense proved to be the difference, fiercely battling the Tigers the entire night, and left with their first lacrosse state title since 2007. The Shamrocks (17-1) avenged an April 10 loss to St. X. “It feels wonderful tonight,” Trinity coach Pete Schroeder told The Courier-Journal. “We have a lot of pride in our program … To bring the title back at the end of the year is big. It’s been a while since we’ve done it. It was a long drought. We’ve been close, but close isn’t good enough.” Trinity senior Cody Tranbarger was outstanding in goal. The Tigers had plenty of point blank chances, but Tranbarger kept turning them back. With Tranbarger’s defense, the Shamrocks spurted out to a 4-1 lead in the first half on goals by seniors Sumner Franklin, Justin Goldner and two by senior Mitchell Kraus. Tranbarger, who carries a 4.0 GPA was named an Academic All-American. He will play for NCAA Division III Amherst College (Mass.) next season. In the third quarter, the Rocks’ cushion increased to 7-2 on goals by Franklin, Kraus and sophmore Jackson Lienhart. “The difference was the defense in front of me,” Tranbarger told The Courier-Journal. “They were fantastic. They executed our game plan perfectly. All I had to do was make saves.

Bass Fishing – Rocks finish in top 25 in inaugural state tournament Trinity qualified three teams for the Kentucky High School Athletic Association’s inaugural bass fishing state tournament. Each Shamrock boat finished in the top 25. Calloway County won the state championship. Forty-five teams representing 26 schools qualified for the event, which was held April 26-27 on Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley. Trinity sent more representatives to the state tournament than any other school in Region Two, including all other schools in the greater Louisville area. Trinity junior Andrew Mitchell and freshman Will O’Rourke (Drew Dickerson ’94, boat captain) finished 16th with catches of 21- 12, junior Trevor Hulsey and senior Brendan Christ (Mark Stowe ’91 boat captain) were 23rd at 15-10 and sophomores Tanner Nettleship and Kyle Muennich (Lance Nettleship ’87, boat captain) were 37th at 8-1. Each two-person team was joined by a volunteer “boat captain,” who piloted the bass boat from which the high school anglers would be casting. The boat captain can recommend places to fish and lures, but they cannot fish – like a coach on the water. Bass fishing as a sanctioned high school sport is new in Kentucky and unheard of in most other states. Kentucky is the second state to sanction it (Illinois was first). Missouri is scheduled to vote on a high school fishing proposal next month, and New Hampshire also is considering putting it on the ballot. Congratulations to the Fishin’ Rocks, their boat captains and head coach Mike Chancellor ’75 for a good finish in the inaugural state tournament.

The one-run loss in the semifinal was the Rocks’ seventh of the season. Congratulations to the Baseball Rocks and their head coach, Mr. Steven Tompkins ’81.

Rugby – State runners-up! Congratulations to the Shamrock rugby team for finishing their inaugural season as Kentucky state championship runners-up. The Rugby Rocks played a 10-match season and fell in the state championship match. The match began with enthusiasm and intensity. The winners scored two relatively quick trys (a touchdown in rugby), but the Rocks fought back with a couple of field goals. As momentum shifted in our favor, we scored a try before halftime, leaving the score 15-10. Trinity came out of the half with intensity and pushed on to score multiple trys. Our opponent, however, would match the Rocks’ trys with their own. Trinity junior Dominic Vander Woude scored and senior Jack Goetz converted kicks to bring Trinity within seven points midway through the second half. Unfortunately, the Rocks ran out of time and were unable to close the deficit. “Let me express that I have never been more proud of a group of guys than I am of the 28 that make up this team,” head coach Neil Arnold said. “This group of guys has come a long way since February. More importantly, they grew as a team and strengthened their brotherhood. As well, Trinity Rugby has been referred to by college and high school coaches, the league president and referees as the most disciplined team they have seen at this level.” Andrew Siladi, one of the seniors told the team after the game: “Do not look at this as a loss but as a huge victory. Look at where we started and where we ended: in the state championship game. Keep your head up.”
