Mission Statement
Saint Ignatius College Prep, a Jesuit Catholic school in the heart of Chicago, is a diverse community
dedicated to educating young men and women for lives of faith, love, service and leadership. Through
outstanding teaching and personal formation, the school challenges its talented student body to
intellectual excellence, integrity, and life-long learning and growth. Inspired by the gospel of Jesus Christ,
this community strives to use God’s gifts to promote social justice for the greater glory of God.
President’s Message
Dear Friends,
I wanted to give you an update on the second initiative of our Strategic Plan which has
been a major enterprise since we began: Continue to recruit, form, and evaluate faculty to
ensure the superior quality education of the students, and fulfillment of the Mission.
You will recall that the board, faculty, staff, parents, and administrators were engaged
in developing this important venture. This group proposed an Evaluation Process that
would be mission driven and related to compensation, in preference to the typical model
of degrees held and years of service. Hence, a new template for faculty evaluation is
based on the Jesuit Secondary Educational Association’s (JSEA) document: Profile of an
Ignatian Educator. These are the Key Performance Indicators cited by this document: 1.
Caring for the Individual, 2. Discerning Ways of Teaching and Learning, 3. Modeling
Ignatian Pedagogy, 4. Building Community and Fostering Collaboration, 5. Animating
the Ignatian Vision.
Under these headings observable objective behaviors drawn from extensive research
by Charlotte Danielson will populate the JSEA observation headings. Further, there will
be four lanes of expertise rather than years of service: Novice, Experienced, Leader, and
Innovator. As skills and expertise develop, so will movement in the teacher’s career; it
will give our faculty the agency to manage their professional development and growth in
excellence, and it will be related to compensation.
Our faculty will be getting feedback from the principal, assistant principals, the Dean
of Faculty, Department Chairs, and peers. We will also be introducing student evaluations;
this will be an important skill for our students as they learn to provide constructive
feedback confirming good teaching and to improve the overall classroom experience. Each
faculty member will have six varying observations (e.g. by the department chair, principal,
peer teacher, etc.) over the course of each year. Until now, much of our focus was on new
teachers. This new system has and will require more resources such as course reductions
for Department Chairs and the addition of a Dean of Faculty. There has been extensive
collaboration with the faculty and administration for this initiative. It is an important
work in progress. We will also need some time to test and adjust it along the way, but I
am confident that we are leading the way with a mission-driven innovation based on solid
educational research. Ultimately, it will enrich the education of our students and support
excellence among the faculty.
As we begin this new year of 2014, I want to assure you and your families of our
prayers and best wishes. Thanks for all you do to make Saint Ignatius College Prep the
wonderful school it is! I hope to see you at Gloriam!
Fr. Michael P. Caruso, S.J., President

Message from the Vice President
As I am penning this note for our
magazine, the campus is buried in the
solitude of a Chicago winter. It is a good
time to reflect on one of our most critical
fundraising initiatives at Saint Ignatius
College Prep. For the past quarter century
we have invited the parents of current
students to participate in our Parent
Commitment program to assist us with
meeting some of the difference between
what we charge for tuition and what it
costs to provide a premier Jesuit Catholic
education in the present economy. Many
of you reading this magazine are parents
of alums and have generously given to make sure that the school had
the resources for teaching and program excellence. You invested in your
children’s education during their tenure at Saint Ignatius. We continue to
ask the parents of today to invest as you did.

Saint Ignatius. For some it can be
a helpful tax deduction. For others
a way to help the school maintain excellence in all that we offer. If we
did not have the Parent Commitment program, our tuition would have
to rise substantially to “balance the books”. We sometimes ask families
to be more generous so that families who receive financial aid from
funds that alums and friends of the school raise, also are able to “close
the gap”. Our financial model works because so many folks, such as
yourself, believe in our mission and the transformation in the lives of our
teenagers that occurs each school day. This year, parents have pledged
over two million dollars to make sure that we close the difference. This is
an extraordinary testimony to the generosity of our families. As you have
seen in our annual report, so many families are generous partners.
While reading through this issue of the magazine, you will see
firsthand how your support has made and continues to make a difference
in all areas of the school’s life. For this I express my humble gratitude for
your care and support of our ministry.
Whenever you are in the neighborhood, we invite you to come up
the steps at 1076 and see firsthand the vitality and enthusiasm that you
provide to our community.

Richard H. Driehaus graduated from Saint Ignatius
College Prep in 1960. On the occasion of his 50th
reunion, Mr. Driehaus targeted a most generous gift
for the completion of the central sky-lit area among the
science labs and classrooms at Saint Ignatius College
Prep. From its inception, this area was originally intended
as a seating area for students and a place to display the
school’s collection of architectural artifacts which had
been donated by Mr. Driehaus and other benefactors,
most from buildings by well-known
Chicago architects of the late 19th and
early 20th century.
The idea to collect these objects had come about because
of the ongoing destruction of notable architectural buildings
which celebrated the diverse culture of Chicago. Much as
Saint Ignatius celebrates the diverse culture of the city, Mr.
Driehaus and Fr. Rowe, former school president, believed
that these visual enhancements to the campus could help
educate students on the culture and architecture of the city of
Chicago. Mr. Driehaus asked that the gallery be named the
Father Donald F. Rowe, S.J. Architectural Gallery in honor of
Fr. Donald Rowe, S.J.’s tireless pursuit of excellence for Saint
Ignatius and his vision to restore our historic buildings rather
than rebuild. He also asked Fr. Rowe to design the area, as he
had designed the other areas of the school and new buildings,
as well as the landscaping of the school’s grounds.
The purpose of displaying these pieces is to enrich the
students’ opportunity to be visually literate, as they are
literate in school subjects — and to become knowledgeable
about the great architectural history of Chicago. On
November 13, 2013 the school community formally
dedicated the new gallery. The speech Richard H. Driehaus
’60 gave during the dedication ceremony follows.
Richard H. Driehaus ‘60 addresses guests at the dedication.
www.ignatiusalumni.org Good evening. How time flies.
Three years ago, at my 50th high
school reunion, I made a special
announcement. I pledged $1 million
to create the Father Donald F. Rowe
Architectural Gallery.
Not only that, I put Father Rowe in
charge of the project. Now, three years
later, here we are. As you can see, he is a
man of many talents.
I’d like to share with you the journey
that brought us to this evening. It’s a story
about a school, a student, and a priest.
As you may know, I grew up in the
Catholic faith, with Christian values,
and I have come to appreciate the
significance of a Catholic education.
I attended St. Margaret of Scotland
grammar school and was taught by the
School Sisters of Notre Dame. Then, in
eighth grade, I had to decide where to go to high school.
Most of my friends were going to Mendel or Brother Rice
High School, which had just opened. A few went to St. Rita,
Leo and Mt. Carmel. Naturally, I wanted to go to Mendel
with most of my friends.
But my mom had other ideas. She said my cousin Tom
attended St. Ignatius College Prep and that his brother Bob,
who is here tonight, was going as well. If they were getting
a good education, I was too. That ended any thought of me
going to Mendel!
So I began my long 10-mile daily journeys on the Ashland
Street bus to 1076 West Roosevelt. I was one of several to
attend St. Ignatius from St. Margaret’s.
The long commute turned out conducive to reading
the Sun-Times, doing some homework and making new
friends. It also provided lessons about honesty and personal
responsibility.
I remember a group of us arriving late on a snowy day.
One of my classmates suggested we had the perfect excuse.
We put it to the test.
The Prefect asked, “Why are you late?” I said, “Because
it snowed and traffic was very slow.” He then inquired if I
listened to the 10 o’clock weather warning the night before,
and had I thought about departing earlier. Well…yes and no.
Yes, I heard the weather report and no, I had not thought
about leaving earlier.
A few weeks later we tried again. The snowfall was really
heavy. Seven-to-10 inches. My fellow classmates on the bus
and I decided to capitalize on the situation and stop for
coffee and donuts first. We arrived at the school over 90
minutes late.
Confident we were golden this time, we told the Prefect we
were late because of the heavy snow storm. He surprised us
by asking, “Did you stop anywhere else?”

“As you may know, I grew up in
the Catholic faith, with Christian
values, and I have come to
appreciate the significance of a
Catholic education.”
Members of the Saint
Ignatius orchestra
entertain guests.
What did he know? Why did he ask? We looked at him,
stunned. Just a few answered “no.” Most of us were frozen, in
silence.
“Didn’t you go to the small coffee shop at the transfer
intersection?” he asked.
How could he have known? We were incredulous.
Then he told us he had called the owner and found out a
group of us were there enjoying coffee and donuts.
Punishment arrived quickly. We were sent to JUG after
school. When I arrived at the JUG room, being rather literalminded, I looked around for a vase, urn or some type of
container that had inspired the unusual name. There was
nothing of the sort. No one else knew what it meant either.
But over 40 years later the mystery was solved when I was
in Washington, D.C. of all places. I was trading high school
memories with an attorney who also had attended a Jesuit
school.
The snow day/coffee house experience came up so I asked
him about the name. He said, “J.U.G. stands for ‘Justice
Under God.’” Finally, I had the answer!

Those seemingly minor snow day
encounters with the Prefect did me a great
justice in life and business. They taught me
about personal responsibility and honesty.
When faced with something you’ve done
wrong, simply admit it. Don’t over sell a
product or service. Be forthright.
To paraphrase Mark Twain: “If you
tell the truth, you will surprise a few and
astonish the rest.”
One of the most forthright persons I
know was also one of this school’s greatest
presidents.
I met Father Rowe in the early 1980s. He
was determined to restore the bankrupt school to its rightful
glory. He inherited a debt of $1.75 million for a school that,
at the time, had a net worth of only $1.1 million.
In addition to St. Ignatius’s financial problems, its
mechanical systems were giving out. If Father Rowe wanted
to keep it open for its 1,250 students, he had to raise “big
money.” At that time, the annual fundraising amounted to
about $50,000.
Early on, in the mid ‘80s, Father Rowe said to me he
wanted to raise $20 to $30 million for St. Ignatius and for
scholarships.
Once again, I found myself speechless in front of a Jesuit.
This priest had such high ambitions and persistence. At
the time, my firm was seeking someone with just this kind
of vision, determination and commitment to handle our
marketing. I remember thinking, “We should hire him!”
He was someone I definitely wanted to spend more time
with. We both had big dreams for the future. As Molière said
“the greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.”
Over the next 10 years I learned a lot about and from
www.ignatius.org

Father Rowe. We discovered
mutual passions for
preservation, architecture,
art, architectural artifacts
and landscape design.
I knew it was just a
matter of time before he
would hit me up for the
“big one.” And he did.
For $1 million. We agreed
to creatively package it
as a two-for-one match.
It was the beginning of a
much larger fundraising
campaign.
He understood that
fundraising is a community

the dedication ceremony.
During his 17 years at St.
Ignatius, Father Rowe raised
$70 million. He built the endowment from $24,000 to $15
million.
While parents take their seventh and eighth graders to
see a variety of high schools, they go home to memories of
buildings that look sort of the same – with the exception of St.
Ignatius. “It looks like a palace,” the students say.
Not only that, St. Ignatius students are
among the top scoring in Illinois.
Scholar, author and teacher William Arthur
Ward said, “Faith sees a beautiful blossom in a
bulb, a lovely garden in a seed, and a giant oak
in an acorn.”
www.ignatiusalumni.org Father Rowe’s faith turned St. Ignatius College Prep into the
lasting legacy intended by its founder Father Arnold Damen.
A lesser man would have been overwhelmed by the challenge
and given up.
I am honored to be an alumnus.
I am privileged to call Father Rowe a friend and life teacher.
Someone for whom I have the deepest respect and admiration.
And so, three years ago, in celebration of my 50th
anniversary of graduating from St. Ignatius, I took the
opportunity to celebrate Father Rowe’s legacy.
Now, I am probably going to get in trouble again even
though there is only a little snow in sight. Because, I’ve had
another idea and Father Rowe prefers a low profile.
Father Rowe’s inspired leadership, vision and faith are
contagious. It is a blessing to be able to give joyfully to causes
that are vital, well-managed and enduring.
He is a noble steward of doing the right thing and seeing it
is done right. Not once has he ever steered me wrong with his
advice and guidance.
With all this in mind, tonight I am giving Father Rowe
stewardship of $250,000 from my Charitable Lead Trust. I
ask that he identify for me the charity or charities he would
like to see that money directed to.
Sir Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we
get, but we make a life by what we give.”
Thank you Father Rowe for all you have done.
Thank you all for coming tonight to celebrate the grand
opening of the Fr. Donald F. Rowe Architectural Gallery.

37 Years of a
Classical Odyssey
Ignatians visit the Oracle of Delphi in Greece, 2011.
This past summer, 34 Ignatius students headed off
to southern France and Italy to tour ancient sites
and explore European culture. For many it was
their first experience of foreign travel and the
opportunity of a lifetime. What they may not have
realized is that they were also stepping into Saint
Ignatius College Prep’s longest travel tradition.
This was the 16th biennial Classical Odyssey.
Begun in 1976 by longtime member
of the Classics Department, Frank
Raispis ’45, the trip has run
every two years (with only slight
interruption) ever since. Raispis,
who taught Latin and Greek at
Saint Ignatius for 52 years before
his retirement, was looking to help
students connect their classroom

Classical Odyssey, 1976.
learning to the wider world. So he called
on fellow class of ‘45 alum, Frank Pipal,
for help.
Pipal’s travel company, Educational
Tours (later Windsor Tours) organized an
educational tour of Greece and Italy. The
itinerary took students from Chicago to
Athens with additional stops in Greece
that included Delphi, Mycenae, Olympia
and Corinth. Students then boarded an
overnight ferry to Italy before continuing
on to Pompeii, Naples and Rome where
they toured sites like the Roman Forum,
the Colosseum, St. Peter’s and the
Vatican Museum. In those days, the tour
continued on to Florence and Venice and
Milan before the return flight home. In
all students toured sites for 23 days for a
total cost of $1,057!
Don Hoffman, who taught Latin and
Ancient History at Ignatius for 45 years,
chaperoned many of the early trips.
He recalls how delightful and peaceful
it was to tour the ruins of Delphi, the
sacred precinct of the oracle of Apollo.
In addition to seeing the Treasury and
museum, he says, “It was worth trekking
up the hill to see the theater and stadium.
Our kids would run races there and get
a sense of what a real Greek stadium
looked like.” Just like in the ancient
games, the victor was awarded a crown
of laurel leaves.
1978 alum and current Latin and
Greek teacher, Dr. Ray Heisler,
was a student on the second tour
in 1978. In those days when the
student body was still all male,
the boys would dress formally for
dinner and wear a sport coat and tie.
Heisler recalls staying at the Collegio
Bellarmino, which was used for
Jesuit priests studying in Rome. “It
was exciting to meet and talk with
Jesuits from all over the world of all
different ages.” For Heisler this was
the first time he had ever been away
from home or flown in a plane, and
the impact was not lost on him.

Hoffman (standing) on
their way to Italy by ferry in

graduated) sits lower right!
“Your mouth is wide open
the first time you see these
things,” like the Colosseum and the Pantheon. For Heisler, the
trip reinforced his decision to pursue classical studies in college.
He would later chaperone two trips in the late 90’s.
For Sparapani, the value of foreign travel is limitless. “There’s
something magical about getting on a plane and leaving the
familiar behind. The experience opens you up to different
people and cultures. It makes classroom learning real in a
meaningful way that expands your horizon forever.”
The Classical Odyssey tours have always made a deep
connection to the school’s Catholic and Ignatian heritage.
All the tours that go to Rome spend a day touring sites of
importance to Saint Ignatius of Loyola, including the Church
of St. Ignatius, the Gesu, where St. Ignatius is buried, and the
rooms of St. Ignatius where he wrote the Constitution for the
Society of Jesus and lived for the last 20 years of his life. The
tours also visit St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museum and
have had their share of “celebrity” encounters.
Sparapani never tires of walking in the footsteps of the
ancients. His perennial favorite stops include visiting the
Altar of Augustan Peace, or Ara Pacis, in Rome, gazing up at
Michelangelo’s mesmerizing ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, and
participating in an intimate prayer service in the rooms of Saint
Ignatius. He advises students to wear good walking shoes and
budget their spending money to maximize opportunities to try
gelato and espresso.
In 1978, students attended a papal audience
with Pope Paul VI, months before he died,
and in 1980, they had an audience with
Father Pedro Arrupe, Father General of
the Society of Jesus. More recently, the
2009 tour saw Pope Benedict XVI passing
at close range in a motorcade leaving St.
Peter’s. And just this past summer, Ignatius
students attended an outdoor papal mass in
St. Peter’s Square with newly-elected Pope
Francis.
These days, the tradition has been passed to
the next generation. The sons and daughters
of students who participated on those first
trips are now traveling themselves. Blueprint
Tours, under the guidance of Frank Pipal’s
son, Charlie, continues to offer educational
tours for high school students. In recent
years, Matt Sparapani, current Latin and
Greek teacher, has led the trips. Due to the
rising cost of foreign travel, the itinerary
has changed slightly from the original. In
2009 the tour started in Sicily and ended
in Rome; in 2011 the tour went to Crete
and Santorini before heading to Athens
and touring sites in the Peloponnese. The
2013 tour began by touring Roman ruins in
southern France (Arles, Nimes and Orange)
before bussing south through Nice to
Florence and ending in Rome.
Sparapani is always looking for new ways
to offer exciting travel opportunities that
engage our students’ interest in the ancient
world and their faith lives in a tangible way.

Kylie Ruscheinski ‘15 says she enjoyed
“living out the lesson” as she experienced
the culture of Italy with her friends as they
ate gelato, tried cappuccino, or learned to
haggle over the price of a souvenir. “We
had really knowledgeable tour leaders at
all the sites, and it was cool to see Latin
is still alive in the inscriptions on ancient
monuments.” For junior Delia West this
was the first time out of the country and
across an ocean. She enjoyed the sense of
independence gained from the experience.
In Portovenere, for example, she says, “We
saw the sunset from the ruins of a castle
and strolled along the harbor. I tried penne
with shrimp. It was amazing!” For senior
John Devitt, traveling in high school was
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make
new friends and new memories that will
last forever. “Sometimes in class my mind
will wander back to special moments, like
making eye contact with the Pope during
Mass or going out for dinner near the
Pantheon. I tried foods I never would have
eaten before. My advice is to try everything
and not hold back. You won’t regret it!”
Students return with lasting memories and
often go on to study abroad in college
at Loyola University’s Rome Center or
through other similar programs. The next
Classical Odyssey will run in the summer
of 2015. While the trip may appeal most to
students of Latin and Greek, the experience
is open to all rising juniors and seniors
with an interest in the ancient world. So
grab your passport and go!

on the 1944 MGM musical film, this classic charmer told the story
of an American family living in St. Louis at the time of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition World’s Fair in 1904. Featuring such classic tunes
as “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, “The Trolley Song” and
“Skip to My Lou”, this touching story of family was a huge pleaser.
The cast included: Theresa Bertini, Liam Bower, Agnes Connolly, Tyler
Daniels, Connor Fieweger, Tim Frye, Colum Goebelbecker, Roisin

Former Ignatius President
Named Next Provincial of the
Chicago-Detroit Province
Jesuit Father General Adolfo Nicolás
has appointed Jesuit Father Brian G.
Paulson as the next provincial of the
Chicago-Detroit Province of the Society
of Jesus. Fr. Paulson will begin his
leadership role in July 2014, succeeding
Jesuit Father Timothy P. Kesicki, who
will become president of the U.S. Jesuit Conference.
During his term, Fr. Paulson will become the
provincial of the new USA Midwest Province
when the existing Chicago-Detroit and Wisconsin
Provinces come together by 2017 as part of an
ongoing national realignment of Jesuit provinces.
Fr. Paulson has served in a variety of leadership
positions as a Jesuit. After 11 years as president
of Saint Ignatius College Prep, he was assigned to
his current role as rector of the Loyola University
Jesuit Community in Chicago in 2010. From 1993
to 1998 he was the vocations director for the
Chicago Province.
“I am deeply humbled to accept this call of Fr. General
to lead and serve my brother Jesuits as provincial of
the Chicago-Detroit Province,” said Fr. Paulson. “In
my 32 years as a Jesuit, I have been richly blessed
with Jesuit and lay friends, along with tremendous
opportunities for ministry, all of which I treasure.”

Open House Displays What it
Means to be Ignatian
Saint Ignatius College Prep’s annual Open House took place on Sunday,
December 8th, 2013. On this day, Ignatius opened its doors for the approximate
4,000 prospective students and family members to experience the scope of
the academic, social, and spiritual opportunities the school community has to
offer. From noon to 3pm, Ignatius faculty, staff, and students led guests on half
hour tours through the campus. Each visit began in Holy Family Church where
families heard from Principal Brianna Latko and our President, Fr. Michael
Caruso, S.J. Families were then directed to one of the school entrances for a
guided tour of the campus.
“Update” to Fr.
Damen, SJ Statue
We are fortunate to have two
Jesuit Scholastics teaching at the
school this year. One of them, Mr.
Hung Nguyen, SJ, can be seen here
complimenting the familiar Damen
statue that graces the lawn in front
of school. As Fr. Damen held a
book to symbolize wisdom, Mr.
Nguyen is holding the iPad.
The purpose of Open House is to experience the community of Saint Ignatius
College Prep. Elizabeth Carney, an Ignatius alum and Director of Admission and
Recruitment, has been orchestrating this premiere Ignatius event for the past 5
years. She regards Open House as “a great opportunity for our visiting students
and families to see our beautiful facilities – but it is more important that they
engage with current Ignatians, faculty, and administration, and witness first
hand our commitment to forming the whole student. I believe that interaction
with the many facets of student life here – from our academic departments to
counseling staffs, from clubs, co-curriculars, athletics teams and coaches to
parent organization members and student guides allows just that.” Unique to past
Open Houses, this year’s event also featured the school’s first year implementing
a 1:1 iPad program. Visiting families were able to see and hear how students and
faculty are utilizing this exciting new tool.
As always, Open House was
an impressive display of what
it means to be an Ignatian.
Carney says it best, explaining,
“Open House is an opportunity
to show new students and
families who we are. It’s a place
that students, faculty, and staff
are proud to be part of – and
I know that shows in the great
energy of the day.”
The school orchestra and choir perform for open house visitors.

Women’s Society Holiday
Event a Huge Success
Photography courtesy of r3mg:: creative boutique, owned by Jim Randazzo ‘71 and Brooke Randazzo Eggert ‘96 - www.r3mg.com
In mid-November, hundreds gathered in Tully Hall at school for the annual
Women’s Society Holiday Shopping event. This extravaganza was a fun evening
of shopping and socializing while showcasing small businesses, many of which
are owned by members of the Ignatius community. Throughout the entire evening,
there were opportunities to purchase items from businesses, win fantastic prizes
donated by the businesses, eat, drink, and contribute to the Women’s Society annual
philanthropy project. In 2011, the Event was revamped and presented with a new
and bigger “bazaar” than ever before and this year was no different. Throughout
this year’s event over 250 people shopped, socialized, and raised funds for this
year’s Women’s Society philanthropic cause—the funding of the new stained glass
windows in the Cuneo Chapel of the North American Martyrs at school. Thanks
for helping to make this such a successful event. Save the Date… the Women’s
Society Signature Event spring dinner will take place at
school on May 8, 2014. Mother M. Assumpta Long, O.P., of
the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, will
be the featured speaker. Currently, there are two sisters from
this order teaching at Saint Ignatius. Find out more at www.

Sr. Mary Paul
McCaughey, O.P. to
Receive Dei Gloriam
Award
Sr. Mary Paul,
superintendent of
Catholic schools
for the Archdiocese
Sr. Mary Paul.
of Chicago, will
be awarded the
2014 Dei Gloriam Award during
this year’s graduation ceremony.
The award is the highest honor
bestowed by Saint Ignatius
College Prep and will be given
in recognition of Sr. Mary Paul’s
extraordinary commitment to the
Church and Catholic education.
While the school did not start
giving out the award until 1978,
people still associate the origins
of the award with the inaugural
“Hope for Ignatius” benefit concert
at the Auditorium Theater on
December 18, 1976. Shortly before
the late Mayor Daley passed away,
he gave Bob Hope the key to the
city the week before as part of the
promotion for that event. Both
the benefit concert and the Dei
Gloriam Award were started by
Fr. Joe Bowen, S.J. The award was
appropriately named after the Jesuit
motto, “ad majorem Dei gloriam”
which means, “for the greater glory
of God.” St. Ignatius felt that all
we do should be for the greater
honor and glory of God. The stress
on greater implies that we avoid
complacency or simply accepting
the status quo; rather, we should
always be stretching to find ways
to better use our gifts and talents to
serve God here on earth and thus
give God greater honor and glory.

The Gallery
Colleen Allen ’14
Colleen Allen associates her first memories of artistic
expression with her father. “My dad really taught me
the basics of art. We would sit at the kitchen table with
a desk lamp and an apple and he’d show me how to
sketch shapes and shadows.”
Allen, a senior at Ignatius, has been a dedicated art
student since her days sketching at the kitchen table.
At Ignatius, she has taken Independent Study Art,
Multimedia Art, Studio Art, and Intro to Photography.
She is the co-editor-in-chief of Phantasm, the school’s
art and literary magazine. In addition to her Ignatius
courses, Colleen has also taken many classes at the
School of the Art Institute of Chicago including fashion
illustration, fashion construction, figure drawing,
portrait painting, and advanced portfolio projects.
She spent this past summer at Parsons The New
School for Design taking fashion design. Further, in
her very rare spare time, Colleen interns with the Teen
Creative Agency at The Museum of Contemporary Art
Chicago. Her current focus, which her featured pieces
display here, is in fashion design. Struck by a fashion
design course she enrolled in at School of the Art
Institute her freshman year, she now considers art and
design as a potential profession. Colleen draws inspiration from contemporary artists
such as Jenny Holzer, Cindy Sherman, and Alexander
McQueen, as well as the general public. “I’m inspired
by the world around me. People on the street always
fascinate me. I love to people watch.” Her captivation
with individuality and fashion has also directed her
attention toward other genres of art and design. “The
most important aspect to any art I create is that it’s
conceptual. Fashion really sparked my interest in art
and has brought me into so many different mediums,
especially performance and installation based work.
I’ve also been experimenting with film and digital
photography, fiber sculpture, painting, and illustration.” Allen is currently applying to art school to study
fashion design as well as fine art. Her goal is that her
arts education both at Ignatius and in the future will
lead her to a career in fashion design where she can
utilize the artistic concepts she is so passionate about. 16 S a i n t I G NATI U S M a g a z i n e w i n t e r 2 0 1 4

In the post season, the team finished third at the IHSA 3A Lake
Park Sectional to become just the fourth Ignatius team ever
to qualify for the state finals. Santino led the team once again
with his fourth place finish.
But at the Patrick Savage Invite at Niles West the Wolfpack lost
by one point to archrival Loyola.
The toughest near miss was a close second place finish—
once again to Loyola--at the Chicago Catholic League

The near miss in Peoria: Korabik finished in 27th place (15:03),
just two spots out of the top 25 all-state list. “The team had
been aiming higher. But it was a great season. For whatever the
reason, we probably had our best races the last couple weeks
leading up to the state meet,” said Coach Ed Ernst. “But we will
work to get back to state next year with an even better team.”

Purpose of Gloriam 2014:
Keys to Success:
Gloriam 2014 will join together hundreds
of parents, alumni, parents of alumni and
friends of Saint Ignatius College Prep for an
evening of fundraising and fellowship. It is
an event intended to support a school whose
community strives to use God’s gifts to
promote social justice for the Greater Glory
of God.
In order to ensure maximum net profit,
the following “keys to success” will be a
top priority of the leadership team and

• Cash raffle to sell 5,000 tickets at $50

Tuition Assistance Program:
All funds raised at this year’s Gloriam 2014
will go to support the school’s Tuition
Assistance Program. For the 2013-14 school
year, over 370 families applied for financial
aid. Students needing tuition assistance come
from all sectors of life, including singleparent families who struggle paycheck-topaycheck and middle class families with
more than one child who are determined
to give their children a Catholic education.
Your support of Gloriam 2014 assists us
in continuing our tradition of accepting
qualified students, regardless of their family’s
ability to pay the full cost of tuition. We
are proud of our thousands of graduates
who benefited from the Tuition Assistance
Program and have gone on to live lives of
service and witness to their faith. The Paddle
Raise, in which guests give a cash donation,
will also support this specific cause for
financial assistance to students in need.

s Saint Ignatius continues its journey toward the future, we are glad to have
many partners in our success. I am proud of our parents, alumni, friends,
and benefactors that choose to support our young men and women as they
learn inside the classroom and explore a wealth of opportunities throughout the
community.
Saint Ignatius isn’t merely a successful institution, but a faith-filled community
inspired by the works of our Church leaders and St. Ignatius of Loyola.
I hope you will consider the creative giving opportunities our Development
Department has to offer and always know that every gift makes a positive impact in
the lives of our nearly 1400 young men and women.

Alumni Give Back at
Inaugural “Service JUG”
A special thank you is extended to everyone who participated in the Saint Ignatius Young Alumni Service JUG back in October.
As part of such an amazing effort, you made a difference in the educational experience of Saint Agnes of Bohemia’s students and
were a wonderful example of the spirit of Ignatius and our Grad at Grad values put into practice. Seeing seventy Ignatius alumni
and friends turn out on a Saturday morning for fellowship and service is a reminder of the wonderful things our graduates do “ad
majorem dei gloriam” once they leave the halls of Saint Ignatius.
We hope to see you at future young alumni events. If
you would like to be involved in the planning of future
young alumni service, networking, or social events, please

From the Archives
By Don Hoffman – School Archivist
The Old Lunch Room – aka The
Marine Room
Alumni from the 1930s, 1940a and early 1950s will
remember their somewhat small and dingy lunch room known
as the Marine Room. It was located on the G level where the
art classrooms are currently located. A few of you may also
remember seeing the murals of ships located on the walls
around this room for which you named it the Marine Room.
Here is the story of these rather important and interesting
paintings.
Fr. Edward J. Dowling, S.J.,
as a young Jesuit scholastic in
1937, painted in oil, ships and
other scenes from the history of
the Great Lakes in murals 27
inches by 54 inches in vibrant
colors. Fr. Dowling went on
Fr. Dowling, S.J.
to teach engineering graphics
at the University of Detroit Mercy for over 50 years. He
also amassed one of the largest and finest collections of
photographs and paintings of ships and images from around
the Great Lakes. In 1993 Fr. Dowling donated to the
University of Detroit Mercy, his collection of 52 notebooks
on Great Lakes history along with 58,000 photos and 1,000
paintings with information on nearly every ship that sailed the
Great Lakes since 1850. After retiring as a professor he served
for a time as archivist at his university. He died in 1996 at the
age of 89.
In 2002 the archivist from University of Detroit Mercy came
to Saint Ignatius to photograph the Marine Room murals
for their archives. For more information on the Dowling
collection visit the Great Lakes Shipping Collection online at
http://research.udmercy.edu/find/special_collections/digital/gls/.
