MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT dear alumni and friends, this summer was highlighted by the chapter of the

4 basilian fathers.

Chapters are held every four years to review the state of the Congregation of St. Basil, to make plans for the future and to elect new leadership.

This year’s Chapter held in Rochester, New York, considered the realities of our existence in 2006. We are faced with a large number of aged and aging priests who need and deserve good care and meaningful ministry. We also looked at the fact that in the past few years we have had to reduce the number of our commitments and that we will continue to have to do so in the future.

However the picture is not only about getting smaller and older. We were encouraged by the important work that is being done in our remaining parishes, high schools and univer- sities in North America. We were excited by the success of Basilian led programs in Mexico and Colombia especially at Asuncion high school in Cali. We see hope in the young men in formation for the priesthood in all of these places.

In short the Basilians continue to be committed to our mission and ministry and St. Michael’s is a central part of this commitment.

This year we will have four additional Basilians on staff at the school. Fr. John Malo C.S.B. ’66 will be Dean of Students overseeing the “discipline” part of our motto! Mr. Glen McDonald C.S.B. and Mr. Andrew Leung C.S.B., Basilian scholastics, will be teach- ing part-time this coming year as will Basilian Associate Mr. Michael Powers.

One other development worth noting is that I was elected to the General Council of the Basilian Fathers. I will serve with Fr. Ken Decker C.S.B., Superior General, Fr. Gordon Judd C.S.B., Vicar-General and First Councilor, Fr. Tom Rosica C.S.B., Second Councilor and Fr. Paul English C.S.B., Third Councilor in overseeing the governance of the Basilian Fathers for the next four years. I will continue to be CEO at St. Michael’s though my duties for the Congregation may take me away from the school from time to time.

As always the future is both exciting and challenging. At St. Michael’s we face the future with confidence in God’s loving care and in need of your continued prayers and support.

Fr. Joe Redican, C.S.B.

BLUE BANNER ~ 2006 LETTER FROM THE EDITOR the old verities remain forever constant

53

As I write the first editorial for the “new” Blue Banner many ideas come to mind as to the direction and the tone the paper should take. Reading through past issues, one theme becomes most prevalent and that is the constant maxim, the school motto: Teach me Goodness, Discipline and Knowledge. There is no getting away from it, and really it is the cornerstone of any society and in particular that of St. Michael’s College School. Previous editorialists have written passionately and philosophically giving practical advice as to what a St. Michael’s man is and should become. The philosopher says that we are always in a state of becoming and the poet echoes this by telling us that a man’s reach should exceed his grasp. I believe that a St. Michael’s man should be a voice, a witness, a presence in an ever challenging and frightening world.

As you read through the Blue Banner, you will discover some very interesting, diverse, and ever heroic stories of graduates who have given themselves and indeed their lives for causes and events that have shaped our world. Yet, there are many others who did not make the headlines, but who, nevertheless have served their communities, their families and God in so many rewarding ways. This is their story too.

I am reminded of what my predecessors have said as what the St. Michael’s credo should be. Fr. Tom Mohan C.S.B. ’48, in the last edition of the Blue Banner in 1998, upholds the nobility of a St. Michael’s man to be like St. Thomas More, “a most uncommon man” who told the truth regardless of difficult personal risk and cost, and faced death rather then deny his principles. Fr. Daniel Zorzi C.S.B., in his Vision address of 2000, stresses the that to keep St. Mike’s alive we must go beyond the mortar and bricks by “informing students’ lives through good examples and sound teaching.” Fr. Joseph Redican C.S.B., our newest President came right out and said it. The work of St. Michael’s is to “help transform the lives of young men by exposing them to Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge.”

Yes, the old verities of truth, goodness and knowledge, remain forever constant and need continued honing. Let’s make it our mission.

Joe Younder ’56 Blue Banner Editor

THE OLD VERITIES REMAIN FOREVER CONSTANT FROM YOUR ALUMNI PRESIDENT ~ PETER THURTON the existing alumni executive came together under the guidance of

6 Dan Prendergast five years ago.

First of all, it must be said that, as a group, we very much enjoy the work that we do on behalf of all the St. Mike’s Alumni. With the assistance of those who came before us, the alumni executive has played an instrumental role assisting the school’s Advancement Office put together an up-to-date database.

The benefits of this up-to-date database are evident by the tremendous success we have had over the past three years at the Turkey Roll, held on the last Friday of November. The numbers just keep growing and growing. We have gone from approximately 350 grads in 2003 to over 600 in 2005. For the 2006 Turkey Roll, Friday, November 24, 2006, we are aiming to have over 800 in attendance and for 2007 we intend to pass the 1000 mark! The Turkey Roll is the signature event for the St. Mike’s alumni association, and the Executive is appreciative of the efforts made by all to attend. Personally, I found it very rewarding to see grads from the 1940's to as recent as 2004 at the last gathering. At each Turkey Roll, a special class is recognized and a commemorative gift is presented to each member celebrating their 10th, 25th and 50th reunions.

In conjunction with the Turkey Roll, your Alumni Executive under the leadership of Joshua Colle ’92 and Marc Montemurro ’93, have been most successful in hosting the St. Mike’s Homecoming. Homecoming 2006 will be held on Saturday, September 23. This is a fun event for both Alumni and their families. It is always special to meet a growing number of grads who are now sending their children to St. Mike’s as second and third generation students. In addition to volleyball, soccer, and football games, there is a beverage tent, a food tent, games for kids, tours of the school, sale of St. Mike’s clothing and old yearbooks. Most importantly, it is a day to celebrate the spirit of St. Michael’s. This year, as a special feature, Homecoming will see the launch of the 100th Anniversary of Hockey at St. Michael’s College School.

Finally, we have been busy organizing elections for the new Alumni Executive. We encourage all of you to become active members of your Alumni Association. By now you should have received by mail and e-mail, a letter outlining the nomination and election procedure for the new Alumni Executive.

In closing and on behalf of the entire Alumni Executive, I would like to extend a very special thanks to all of the grads for your support, to my Alumni colleagues, to Frs. Redican, Zorzi, and Lehman, along with Dan Prendergast, the St. Mike’s Advancement and Communications Office, and the entire staff and faculty for their continued encouragement and assistance in making my work as President a pleasant task.

soccer at its best ~ a kick out of the past The following article, reprinted with permission by Jim Coyle appeared in the Toronto Star, June 20. 2006. It features St. Michael’s grad, Pal Di Iulio ’69 and reflects part of our cultural history.

Pal, the father of SMC grads, Davide ’03 and Dante ’05, now watches the game from the sidelines and still proudly wears his country’s colours. Evans Tannis, teacher, coach and father of Stephen ’87 and Robert, now coaches his grandchildren and on his off days can be found at the racetrack. Evans informs us that Tony Di Zio ’69 the of the soccer team is now an Ontario Provincial Judge and remains a close friend of Pal’s.

To some folks in this part of the world, it will always be just 22 guys in fancy hairdos running around a vast patch of grass, hardly ever scoring. To people like Pal Di Iulio, soccer is more even than the beautiful game. It’s a way to track the evolution of a life, a community, a city. Long before the term “soccer moms” was invented, or stodgy had become polyglot home to a flag-waving fiesta of World Cup fever, Palmacchio Di Iulio had fallen in love with soccer. And anyone wanting a little history of the game’s development locally over the last half century could do worse than chat a spell with the longtime executive director of Villa Charities Inc. Di Iulio was born in 1949 in the Molise region of Italy and immigrated to Canada with his parents when he was 7. As often happens, things didn’t go smoothly at once in the new world. In 1960, ready to abandon the experiment, Di Iulio’s father sent mother and child back to Italy, planning to join them a few months later. While the son was in Italy, he became smitten with Juventus and the “ballet on grass.” The luck of the father, meanwhile, had taken a turn for the good. A new job had been found, a house bought. The family was sent for. “Back in Canada, hockey was expensive, football for jocks, tennis and golf belonged to an upper-class elite that didn’t live at Bloor and Dufferin,” Di Iulio recalls. By both that process of elimination and his own inclination, his game was soccer. It became his love, and soon enough, his labour. His first job at 13 was selling soft drinks at Varsity Stadium. After the intermission, he’d sit in the seats (there were always lots empty), watching teams like Toronto City and Toronto Italia, and relax and dream. During those days, he even saw the great English player Sir Stanley Matthews. When it was time for high school, a scholarship was won to St. Michael’s College School. In those days, when entire childhoods were passed in a few city blocks, Di Iulio had to ask the nuns who taught him first where St. Mike’s was, then where Bathurst and St. Clair was.

BLUE BANNER ~ 2006 But get there he did. And there he found that the Basilian fathers who ran the school knew only hockey and football. “By Grade 11, a dozen of us skinny Italian kids who didn’t have money for hockey or the size for football, convinced the Basilians to start a soccer team.” 213 “We acted as our own coaches, after the excitement of starting the team, choosing the colours and a nickname (the Azzurri, of course) and participating in the odd tournament.” “It took another year for the school board to sanction a schoolboy soccer league, he said, and we thought we had hit the big time that year.” “We had a team that was composed of 12 Italians, two Croats, one Indian from Goa via England, and our coach, Evans Tannis, from Trinidad.” One of Di Iulio’s joys, years later, would be to see his own sons play for and captain the St. Michael’s team that he had a hand in starting. Over the years, his soccer fandom continued. As a Canadian immigration officer, Di Iulio would meet players like Pele and Chinaglia, Maradona and many other stars. Then came that fabled day in July 1982, when he could not believe the radio reports that tens of thousands of Azzurri fans had poured onto St. Clair W. in Toronto to celebrate Italy’s World Cup win. “I could picture 1,000 people, I could picture 5,000, but they were saying 100,000 people,” he recalled yesterday. So his mother-in-law dressed his baby daughter in the Tricolore of Italy and he went off with her on his shoulders, walking and walking and hardly believing his eyes. “I realized that day that the Italians in Toronto had arrived,” he says. “The Italian victory had done more to unleash the passion, love and joy for, and about, soccer and Italy than many of the other worthwhile planned activities and programs.” And, best of all, it was joy that was utterly spontaneous and shared with the whole city. At the Columbus Centre, where he works, a 2.5-metre-by-5-metre picture of St. Clair on that memorable day, signed by the great Paolo Rossi, still has pride of place. As they grew, his own kids joined the great Canadian soccer boom, travelling with competitive teams around town, across the province and overseas, on trips that were as much about culture and heritage and community building as they were sport. “In 1994, the Columbus Centre initiated Friendship Societies in order to turn rivals into friends, Di Iulio says.” “For example our first attempt, the Irish-Italian Friendship Society invited 200 guests (100 Italian and 100 Irish) to watch Italy vs. Ireland play in Boston and feast on Chianti and pasta, Guinness beer and potatoes.” As much as he’s proud of his heritage, as much fun as the increasingly varied flag-waving has been in our own little global village every World Cup, Pal Di Iulio has a dream — to have a Canadian team in World Cup contention and every car in town flying a maple leaf. “If not my sons, or your sons, maybe their sons, playing for Canada.” “What a country, eh?!”

Well I remember, as a rookie teacher in 1961, I had the intimidating task of monitoring a grade 13 first period study hall in room 229. The class was a sort of resting place for the fatigued and wounded members of the St. Michael’s Majors taking refuge from a previous night’s battle in Kitchener or Rex Stimer’s St. Catharine’s rink. In that class were the likes of Gary Smith, Terry Clancy, Rod Seiling, Andre Champagne, Ray Dupont, Mike Walton, Tom Polanic, and Gary Dineen. As some read the sport pages or the racing forms, others slept and while the odd one actually did some homework, I attempted to employ all that I recently learned at the Ontario College of Education to motivate them. Really, nothing worked, but I do remember with some fondness that first period class. I learned a lot about patience, collegiality and friendship.
