The Cross Chronicle It Counts "Different where The Cross Chronicle it counts" Spring 2018 50th Anniversary Edition Volume 3, Issue 3 In loving memory of Mrs. Margaret Leger 2018: The Golden Milestone By Madeline Leo '18 and Joe Genua '18 In the fall of 2018, Holy Cross will celebrate its 50th anniversary. To pay tribute to the anniversary, the school will be hosting several events throughout the year. On Wednesday, May 16, Holy Cross held its 2018 Connecticut Alumni Reception at Tthe Country Club of Waterbury from 6 to 8 pm to Pictures of the event are posted to www.holycrosshs-ct.com. The alumni celebrations will continue next school year: the graduating classes of ‘78, ‘88, ‘98, and ‘08 will reconnect with peers, as well as commemorate the legacy of the school. Our 50th Anniversary Homecoming Weekend will be October 5-7th. In November, Holy Cross will hold a Thanksgiving Eve Liturgy, the Thanksgiving Day home football game and more activities. The most awaited event will be The Golden Gala on March 30th at the Aqua Turf in Southington as a fundraiser, auction, and dinner dance. The event is organized by the Parents Clubs, Alumni, and the Advancement Office. Holy Cross’ very own Vice President for Advancement, Mrs. Cary Fappiano, and Director of Alumni and Special Events, Mr. Michael Phelan, are alumni themselves. Many alumni events will celebrate the Holy Cross of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Mr. Phelan describes why he is excited about the upcoming events: “It’s exciting reconnecting with the alumni, hearing their memories and the positive impact the Holy Cross experience had on their lives. Working with alumni is a constant reminder of all the good we do here on Oronoke Road.” The Holy Cross event committee is working very hard to make the events special and give an opportunity for Crusaders to reconnect and reminisce. Stay up to date with events through the Holy Cross website. If anyone wishes to participate in the planning, contact Michael Phelan ‘89 at [email protected] to join the committee. Holy Cross Is on a Mission By: Riley Fasano '18 Holy Cross was founded on a very specific mission: educate students in body, mind, and soul. Holy Cross was founded by the Brothers of Holy Cross, one of the youngest schools founded by their organization. The heart of their mission is to be educators in the faith. They also want to scaffold the development of the “whole person in mind, body, and spirit.” Blessed Basil Moreau believed that while the way students are educated will evolve, the way they grow into well-rounded individuals will always be through the help of their faith. He wanted students to be prepared to use their faith to guide them throughout their lives. Blessed Basil Moreau believed “How we educate the mind will change with the times; how we cultivate the heart is and will remain timeless.” Little did he know that there would be 92 Holy Cross schools worldwide. Holy Cross provides an excellent academic program. Athletics and arts programs value teamwork and creativity and service-based programs strengthen our community's commitment to God. As a Catholic school, our school instills in students the teachings of Jesus Christ and his love for all humans. While our student population is currently 66% Catholic, there are many other faiths and denominations represented. Holy Cross accepts all religions and faiths, which makes our community very special and diverse. Mr. Joseph Carrah, the Theology Department Chair and teacher at our school, provided some valuable insights. When asked if he thought the mission is taught differently now than it was 50 years ago, he provided an excellent response, “I believe the most enduring quality and strength of Holy Cross is that the mission has remained the same since the school’s GUESS WHO? inception and that the school has remained faithful in carrying it out.” He On each page, try to identify that alumni went on to explain, “I would say that the mission is lived rather than photo. The answer key on page 15. taught. We are imitating Jesus who himself said that he came to serve and not be served and to be an example for us to follow. Jesus tells us that whatever we do to anyone, we do to Him. By living our mission we show our love for God through love of neighbor.” Flashback Features Page 2 1968: 'What's Goin' On' By: Madeline Leo '18 According to CNN, 1968 was one of the most historic years in modern American history. That same year, the presidential election was considered to be the most chaotic. In the end, Lyndon B. Johnson outnumbered Hubert Humphrey in votes and won. Earlier in the year, North Korea captured the American surveillance ship USS Pueblo, which heightened the Cold War tensions. The surviving passengers were then tortured and starved by a North Korean camp. Fortunately, after 11 months, the crew was allowed to safely return once America acknowledged they were spying. After the crew members returned home in time for Christmas, the US immediately retracted those acknowledgements. On April 4th, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel. Two months later, his shooter, James Earl Ray was caught and imprisoned due to fingerprints left at the scene of the crime. He pleaded guilty in attempt to avoid a death sentence. He served jail time until his death in 1998, when he died of liver failure. Similarly, Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination in Los Angeles occurred on June 5. After giving a speech at the Ambassador Hotel, Kennedy was shot in the back and the head by a Jordanian Palestinian named Sirhan Sirhan. Kennedy underwent brain surgery, but died 26 hours after the attack. Sirhan was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1972 and he is still serving time in a California prison. Courtesy of Google Images During the Summer Olympics in Mexico City, two black athletes staged a silent demonstration against racial discrimination in America. The two athletes held their fists up defiantly during the National Anthem, which resulted in them both being disqualified by the International Olympic Committee. Tommie Smith and John Carlos were both expelled from Team USA, but hailed as heroes in the African-American community. “Star Trek”, the popular NBC show that aired for the first time in 1966, marked a milestone in 1968 with its first interracial kiss in television history. William Shatner played Captain Kirk in the series. In an episode, Nichelle Nichols plays Lt. Nyota Uhura and her character was scripted to kiss Kirk. In late September, the Boeing 747 jumbo jet made aviation history by becoming the world’s largest passenger aircraft. It weighed 300 tons and held 374 passengers. It made its first flight on February 9, 1969 in Washington state near Boeing’s factory. Ending the year with a bang, Apollo 8 launched. Jim Lovell, Bill Anders, and Frank Borman became known as the first three Americans to orbit the moon. Apollo 8 was also the first to take photos of Earth from deep space and broadcast the lunar surface on live television on the day before Christmas. Lovell is known for his famous “Houston, there is a Santa Claus." This American marvel rounding out 1968, began advancements in spacecrafts for decades to Guess Who? come. 1968 vs. 2018: How Times Have Changed By Riley Fasano '18 Over the past 50 years, there have been many events that drastically impacted America's economy resulting in inflation. Below (left) the consumer price chart compares prices from 1968 to 2018. The historical events chart below (right) also reflects other ways the times have changed. Crusader Features Page 3 Girls Come to Town By Juliana Casalino '18 He Said: Mr. Joseph Marino, who has been a teacher at Holy Cross High School for 14 years was also a student here in 1975. Previously an all male, private high school, Holy Cross experienced drastic changes starting in the fall of 1975. Mr. Marino, who was a senior at the time, recalls the exact moment Holy Cross High School changed forever. He reflected that the change was one for the better. He remembers being called into the auditorium to be informed of the radical change, "The boys who once walked around with mismatched blazers and shirts, suddenly had to get a new wardrobe to impress the girls." These boys had to make the transition. The men of Holy Cross High School would be joining with the women of Catholic High School to evolve into a new, coeducational high school for Waterbury and the surrounding areas. She Said: Sister Patricia Jamele, CND (or as we call her, Sister Pat) who has been at Holy Cross High School since the merger in 1975, explains how she, just like Mr. Marino, remembers when the girls entered into the Holy Cross family along with how the change felt. Being a new teacher at Waterbury Catholic High School when the two schools merged, she was excited for the switch. From a teacher's perspective, she worried how the young ladies would react in the different setting, "Teaching styles also varied between the two schools. Waterbury Catholic was freer and more adaptable, whereas the boys at Holy Cross were taught with structure and discipline... The Brothers of Holy Cross felt they could not control the girls because they were not used to teaching girls. When the two schools merged, there were 10 sisters and 26 brothers who had to work together to make the transfer a great one." Sister Pat says she, along with the rest of the sisters, were excited to join together because they were, “young and enthusiastic.” Years later, she still says she and the brothers were, “devoted to the mission of Catholic education.” Pictures courtesy of the Holy Cross website and Todd Santa Maria '94 Facility Features Page 4 Art Takes Its Course Through Holy Cross By: Julia Flynn '19 Changes throughout Holy Cross High School have created greater opportunities for not only students but for teachers as well.

  • Testimony of Aalayah Eastmond Senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Before the United States House Judiciary Committee February 6, 2019
    Testimony of Aalayah Eastmond Senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Before the United States House Judiciary Committee February 6, 2019 Chairman Nadler, Ranking Member Collins, and other members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to be here today to share my experience and perspectives on gun violence in America. My name is Aalayah Eastmond. I am a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. While it is an honor to be before you today, it is only because horrific events have compelled me. Next Thursday will mark exactly one year from the day that 17 of my fellow schoolmates and educators were shot and killed, 17 more injured. Thousands more -- like me -- were fortunate to walk away with our lives that day but we will never be free of the terror. Some will carry visible scars, but all of us were scarred emotionally, for the rest of our lives. I was in my 4th period Holocaust history class. We were presenting our projects on hate groups found on college campuses. I could never have imagined my group partner Nicholas Dworet would’ve saved my life in moments to come. As we sat at our desks working on our computers after presenting our projects, we began to hear loud pops. When the gunman shot into our classroom, Nicholas Dworet was in front of me. The gunman’s bullets hit and killed him and Helena Ramsay. As Nicholas fell, I matched his every movement and hid beneath his lifeless body as bullets riddled my classmates. I thought I was going to die.

    Volume 97 Number 46 | JULY 1-7, 2020 | MiamiTimesOnline.com | Ninety-Three Cents Broward Schools mark dual milestones School will resume with a hybrid model and seniors hype an app JULIANA ACCIOLY Miami Times Contributor Broward County public schools shutdown in March due to the new coronavirus and shifted to online learning. Three months later, the district has announced a tentative reopening plan for the 2020 - 21 school year. On June 20, Broward County Superintendent of Schools Robert Runcie said that schools will reopen on August 19 according to the physical distancing and health protocols that limit transportation and on-campus populations. Runcie said that BCPS has been exploring what to do through electronic surveys and based on responses by more than 80,000 parents/guardians, teachers, staff members, and students, Florida's second-largest school system is to adopt a hybrid educational format. The goal, said the superintendent, is to safely maximize the amount of time in school through a staggered days ap- proach, where four days a week students will be separated into two groups that will al- ternate between class- room-based instruction and distance learning. To further shield the community from infec- tion, Wednesdays will be reserved for e-learn- ing only while deep cleaning and sanitation take place on school grounds. Athletics, Robert Runcie including cheerleading and band programs are to resume in mid-July with a phased approach. "We don't have this all figured out. And we also know that with whatever decisions we make it still won't be an ideal situa- Rep.
