THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY CLASS OF 1956 2 • GradNews Principal’s Message

Dear Graduates and Friends of St. Francis Prep,

We begin another school year, my 24th year as Principal, and it is very gratifying to report to you that the Prep remains embedded in the solid foundation established by the Franciscans in 1858, built upon by a dedicated administration, faculty, and staff over many years, and supported by generous alumni and friends like you. As a result, we continue to look forward to a very bright future for the school. With this in mind, I am pleased to tell you that, once again, more than 99% of our June 2006 graduates are now enrolled in college, and, among other student achievements, Prep seniors were semi-finalists in the Intel Science Search for the eighth consecutive year (and the Prep was the only Catholic High School in the nation to have multiple semi-finalists in this very prestigious competition). On the extracurricular front, our Varsity Football Team won the CHSAA Championship last fall and provided Coach O’Connor with his 300th win in the process. These are facts that speak volumes about the Prep’s ongoing commitment to high-quality, well-rounded education in a caring, disciplined environment. Consequently, our entire Prep Community remains actively involved in implementing the action plan to achieve all our Middle States objectives by the year 2010. (For those who don’t know, The Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools is our accrediting agency, and we have always received high marks from them and take their recommendations seriously as we look to tomorrow and what we need to remain “ahead of the curve” on all fronts.) As you probably know by now, this Middle States process coincides with our plan to celebrate the school’s 150th Anniversary during the 2008-09 school year, at which time we should be in the midst of a major capital improvement program, the extent of which will soon be determined--with our Middle States objectives and our long-term "vision" for the school always in mind. And with the 150th Anniversary now clearly on the radar screen, please mark Saturday, October 4, 2008 on your long- range calendar (the feast of St. Francis of Assisi that year), as we are planning for a gala celebration at the Brooklyn Marriott to mark the occasion--and to officially kick-off a series of “Sesquicentennial” events and activities. You will be hearing a great deal more about this in the weeks and months ahead, and I know you will want to participate. Speaking of participation, with our fiscal year having closed on August 31st, I would be remiss if I did not thank those of you who contributed to this past year’s Annual Giving Program. While we await the final tally (the Annual Report with the listing of all donors as of August 31, 2006 will be published later this fall), we already know that our goal of at least $500,000 will probably be surpassed, and this is in addition to the support generated through fundraising events like the Golf Classic and Homecoming. For this I remain very grateful because your generosity helps insure that we meet the school’s budget each year (now more than $20 million), thereby allowing us to maintain moderate tuition levels and provide scholarship and spon- sorship assistance to deserving students. So thank you again for your support! In closing, let me ask God’s blessings upon you and your family members. Please enjoy the remaining warm weather days, have a wonderful fall season, and pray with us for a healthy, safe, and productive 2006-07 year!

Yours in St. Francis,

Bro. Leonard Conway, O.S.F. Principal

Vin Giammona ’79 Memorial 5K Fun Run

“Looking for volunteers and sponsors to assist with the Vin Giammona ’79 5K Run”

SFP’s Homecoming Weekend 5K Run is dedicated to Vinny Giammona ’79, a NYFD Lieutenant who died heroically in the 9/11 terrorist attack on the WTC. Vinny is fondly remembered by all for his incredible spirit and ability to make everyone smile. In his years at Prep, he was co-captain of the Track/Cross Country Teams and naming this run in his honor, is a small gesture from the SFP alumni to celebrate Vinny’s life. Linda Giammona, Vinny’s sister, is coordinating this year’s event (Sunday, October 15, 2006) and we are looking forward to a very successful outing. We would like to hear from friends, classmates, SFP track teammates, FDNY members or anyone who would like to help out - in any way - to make Vinny’s run an event something we can all feel proud of. Proceeds from the run are being dedicated to SFP students in need. Alumni and friends who are interested in honoring the memory of Vinny G. by volunteering or sponsoring this event, please contact Tracey Kavanagh ’78 at [email protected]; Brian McKeon ’81 at [email protected]; Karen McKeon ’77 at [email protected]; Nick Mosesso ’81 at [email protected] or Linda Giammona at [email protected]. Check the alumni website (http://www.alumni.sfponline.org and choose “events calendar”) for Vinny Giammona’s 5K Run listed under Homecoming 2006 information.

Principal’s Dinner - March 2006

On Saturday, March 25, 2006, the Prep’s library once again became the fabulous “6100 Restaurant” for the Annual Principal’s Dinner. Organized to recognize the generosity of those who have contributed at The St. Francis Society level and above ($1000 or more) during the previous year, as well as the members of The Board of Trustees, the dinner also provides the Principal, Brother Leonard Conway, O.S.F., with an opportunity to report on the “State of the Prep” which, thankfully, is very healthy, due in large measure to the ongoing support of its loyal alumni, parents and friends. In addition to Brother Leonard’s report, a wonderful presentation was made to the 90 guests by students Carlo Coumoutsos and Nicole Streakin who spoke about the impact that generous donors had on their lives when it came to financial support for their Prep education. The next Principal’s Dinner will be held at the Prep on Saturday, March 31, 2007. GradNews • 17

April NYSE Reception; First of New Alumni Chapter Events

Alumni in the Financial Services Sector meet on the Floor of the New York Stock Exchange

Thursday, April 27th, 2006 was a special day in the history of the Prep and its ongoing outreach efforts. Alumni, trustees and friends came together on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for a wonderful reception hosted by John J. Brown ’76, Managing Director at Merrill Lynch and recent SFP Hall of Fame Inductee. Attendees watched the ticker scroll a message that read, “The NYSE welcomes St. Francis Preparatory School” as they listened to several speakers and celebrated this inaugural gathering of the Prep’s Financial Services Alumni Chapter. (New local Alumni Chapters are also slated to begin in 2006-07 within the Legal Services/Courts sector and the Health Services sector, as well as in other cities starting with Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. and Boston.) Pictures from the April 27th NYSE event appear here. A follow-up reception for this Chapter was held on June 22nd at the headquarters of Bloomberg Financial Services in midtown Manhattan.

LAPCHICK BY GUS ALFIERI (SFP Class of ’55) “[Gus Alfieri] provides, through one pivotal figure, a clearer understanding of the issues behind the development of modern basketball, of its style of play, of its social significance and of its maneuverings to become profitable entertainment. Lapchick respected basketball, and fans of the game will respect this warm and intelligent biography.” —Kirkus Reverential Homage to Basketball Great Joe Lapchick Provides a Priceless Look at the History of the Game

GUILFORD, CT (THE LYONS PRESS) — September 15, 2006 —Joe Lapchick. The name is legendary in the history of basketball. As a Hall of Fame player and member of the Original Celtics barnstorming team, a coach of four national championship teams at St. John’s, and the first coach of the New York Knicks, Lapchick made a lifetime of contributions to the game he loved. In LAPCHICK: The Life of a Legendary Player and Coach in the Glory Days of Basketball (The Lyons Press, October 2006) the only biography dedicated to this legendary figure, Gus Alfieri not only tells Lapchick’s life story but also provides a priceless look at the history of the game—from its early rule changes and barnstorming and club teams, to dramatic National Invitational Tournament games (when the NIT was the best tournament in the country) and college basketball point-shaving scandals, to the formation of the National Basketball Association. Perhaps most significantly, Lapchick’s signing of the Knicks’ Sweetwater Clifton, the first African-American player to sign with an NBA team, led the way in the movement to integrate the league. Both an inspiring story of a pioneer sports figure and a nostalgic look at the era in which he played, Lapchick is a must-read for any basketball fan with a passion for the game. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: GUS ALFIERI played for Joe Lapchick at St. John’s University for the school’s 1959 NIT championship team. He teaches in the graduate school at Stony Brook University and directs the All-American Basketball Camp on Long Island. Alfieri lives in Smithtown, New York.

Pathway to St. Francis

The “Pathway to St. Francis” is a special brick walkway at the statue of St. Francis in front of the school at the intersection of Francis Lewis Boulevard and Horace Harding Expressway. The “Pathway” was formally dedicated with the initial 400 bricks on Sunday, November 2, 2003 as part of our Annual Alumni Memorial Mass and Brunch, and we plan to add more bricks each year (with a dedication taking place every first Sunday in November).Thus far, there have been more than 600 bricks and several benches engraved with associated contributions totaling over $112,000 to date. Our goal is to establish two permanently endowed scholarships in the names of James Prendergast ’79 and Michael Lynch ’86, who were taken from us at a very young age. Jimmy battled cancer and Mike, a New York City Fire Fighter, made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11. With nearly 2,000 brick spaces still available, there is ample opportunity to be a permanent part of the future of St. Francis Prep (and honor your loved ones) while also helping to keep Mike and Jimmy’s memories alive. The Pathway will eventually have 2,500 bricks. Any questions should be addressed to Brother Robert Kent, O.S.F. at (718) 423-8810 ext. 230.
