M e s s a g e F r o m T h e P r e s i d e n tSr. Jacquelyn Gusdane, SNDTop: Sr. Jacquelyn withGraduating Senior Matthew FerryAbove: Sr. Jacquelyn withBro. Thomas F. Giardino, SMAs I handed the diplomas to our graduates on theevening of May 26th, I quietly thought, “How willthese young men and women make a difference inour world?” And as I write my column for this issueof Seasons, I believe the answer is inside the frontcover as it is in all issues. “Their lives will transformthe world by promoting justice, pursuing peace,caring for creation, building unity, and engenderinghope in the hearts of all.” This is NDCL’s vision forits graduates. It is a vision that extends beyondthe Class of 2011 and is rooted in the hearts of all– whether they claim the 1950s, 1970s, 1990s or the21st century as their era.During their four years at NDCL, our graduateshave been intimately involved in Invisible Children,stood vigil at Lucasville, spent time with childrenin the inner city, ministered to those suffering fromdomestic violence, tutored refugees, accompaniedindigent persons to their place of burial, conservedour natural resources, volunteered in Appalachia,and raised thousands of dollars for men, womenand children in need. They have engendered hope!Your commitment and mine to this vision, alreadyevident in the lives of our graduates, is at the heartof who we are and what we believe. We possessthe grace to consciously and freely choose tocontinue building up the reign of God. This leavenis transformative. We possess it. Working for justicebelongs to each of us. We all want our world tobe “a level playing field for everyone.” Pursuingright relationships, the ultimate outcomeof justice, results in balance and harmonybetween God, ourselves and all creation. This isno easy task. Yet, I venture to say, as disciples ofJesus, we all want it.As you read the key article, “Attorneys PursueJustice for All,” you will notice how the featuredlawyers embrace the call to protect and giverecognition to the human dignity and rights ofeach person. Their convictions are rooted in theliving tradition of Notre Dame Academy andCathedral Latin School and have been passed onto Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin students. Evenmore, the vibrant faith and prophetic voicesof our alumni are everywhere. In speaking tothem, it is clear that their love of God is mostevident in their love of neighbor. This fullness ofloving can only exist with justice and is rooted inthe person and message of Jesus.“How will the Class of 2011 make a differencein today’s world?” My hope is that their deepfaith will lead them to loving actions, mirroringthe alumni whom they will meet, not only inthe this issue of Seasons, but any place theyencounter them on their life’s journey.May our good and provident God enrich yoursummer days!22Your TurnDear Sister Jacquelyn,Thank you so much for all you do for our students atNDCL. I truly want you to know that my family reallyenjoyed and appreciated the beautiful graduationceremony. The speaker, Brother Giardino, wasexceptional. Though obviously a man of great intellect,Br. Tom was able to present his message in a simple andpoignant way for the entire Class of 2011. The ceremonyitself was a lovely tribute to each and every student– every individual counted. We are so pleased that wewere able to have Juliet attend NDCL (with Victoria closebehind), and we hope and pray we can do the same forour younger two daughters.With much appreciation,Laurene DiCillo, '87Dear Mr. Waler,We would like to take this opportunity to thank you forall you have done for Megan these past 4 years. Whenparents send their children off to high school they havesuch high hopes for their academic success alongwith an opportunity to grow as a person both sociallyand spiritually. Our hopes and expectations weremet for Megan. She emerged as a strong student,and an even stronger leader with a great heart andappreciation for her faith. We commend you, Sr.Jacquelyn, Sr. Joanne, Kathy Sanborn, and everyteacher Megan had. All of you planted a seed andwere a part of her growth and success at NDCL. Iknow it is a joint effort between parent and theschool, and what we as parents instill at home wastruly carried out at NDCL each day.Megan had highs and lows but worked throughthem all, and came out smarter, stronger, wellrounded, and a genuinely good person. What morecould a parent ask for. We look forward to next yearas Colleen has an opportunity to also shine. . . . Sheis excited and cannot wait to reach the finish line. Itwill be bittersweet to think we will be done with highschool, but so far the journey has been great!Gratefully,Chris '75 and Kathy Lynch

Nothing is to bepreferred before justice.Attorneys Pursuejustice for allMuch has been written in the history of civilization and in our Judeo-Christian tradition on the conceptof justice. Consider a few:"Nothing is to be preferred before justice." SocratesAnd what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and tolove tenderly and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8The social order requires constant improvement; it must be founded in truth, built on justice,and enlivened by love. . . If these objectives are to be attained there will first have to be arenewal of attitudes and far-reaching social changes.The Church in the Modern World, #26, Vatican IIFrom now on it is only through a conscious choice andthrough a deliberate policy that humanity can survive. John Paul IIJustice is a concept of fairness or right relationships. It is defined as "the concept of moral rightness basedon ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, fairness, or equity, along with the punishment of the breachof these ethics." Justice may also be viewed as a divine law, the whole of morality. Lady Justice herselfdepicts justice as equipped with three symbols: a sword symbolizing the court's coercive power; a scalesymbolizing the weighing of competing claims; and a blindfold indicating impartiality.Through the years, many Cathedral Latin, Notre Dame Academy and NDCL alumni have pursued thenoble career of law. Let's meet a few of these outstanding attorneys.I v a n L . O t t o , ' 5 5Ivan Otto decided to pursue a law career after discovering the character of Atticus inHarper Lee's novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. In this book, Atticus says, "They're certainlyentitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but beforeI can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abideby majority rule is a person's conscience." (Chapter 11)Later in the book, Atticus addresses the matter of justice: "The one place where aman ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, butpeople have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box.”"I also saw Glen Ford in The Trial and thought, 'That seems like fun. I'll give it a try,'"Otto fondly recalls.continued on page 4Notre Dame - Cathedral Latin Seasons Summer 2011

Attorneys Pursue Justice for Allcontinued from page 3As an attorney and partner in the prestigious law firmof Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, Otto practiced publiclaw. "I represented various public bodies at the state,county and municipal level. Generally, I worked ontheir finances. If they wanted to borrow money, Iwould advise them and prepare the paperwork. Thiswork was critical to avoid delays," Otto describes.Today, Squire, Sanders & Dempsey is an internationallegal practice with 37 offices in 17 countries. Despitehis remarkable 27-year law career with Squire, Sanders& Dempsey, Otto never forgot his modest beginnings.At the age of eight, Otto and his parents left Hungaryin 1944, living as refugees for five years in Germanybefore immigrating to the U.S. in 1949. He completedgrade school at St. Stephen's on the city's near westside and attended Cathedral Latin School."Cathedral Latin provided a great academic climate.The female distraction was not there," he recalls witha chuckle. "Latin created an atmosphere that boostedthe academic achievement of every students; inother words, the Marianist brothers did not panderto the over-achievers but strengthened all of usacademically.""There was a Latin spirit encompassing the Catholicity.The brothers were devoted to teaching youngmen who were barely older than the students, soa camaraderie developed between us. They alsodisciplined in a very decisive way," he adds, smiling.(His son Jim Otto graduated from Latin in 1979.)“If peopletake the timeto write After graduating from lawschool, Otto fulfilled his twoyearobligation with the U.S.their stateArmy at Fort Eustis in Virginia.legislators, "We were between wars– the missile crisis in Cuba andthey will seeVietnam.

"Thepartners encouraged me to goand said when I returned, I wouldreceive pay equal to what I wouldhave earned had I never left," Otto remembers. "Allthe guys managing the firm were World War II vets."He began as an associate. In 1972, Otto was made apartner in the firm.Otto offers this insight on the law: "The way youchange the law is not through the courts, but throughthe legislature. It is quicker and more effective. Arguinga case through the court system with the availableappeals is a hard, long way to bring about change."“If people take the time to write their state legislators,they will see changes in the law that will lead to otherchanges," encourages the proud Cathedral Latinalumnus.Upon graduating from Cathedral Latin, Otto went onto graduate magna cum laude and first in his class"For the most part, I think politicians are nobleat John Carroll University in 1959.

She immediately joined Jones Day upongraduating and over the past 30 years has played aleading role in some of the firm's most high-profilelitigation, including the successful defense of IBM inworkplace exposure cases in California and New York;the representation of First American Bank shares inthe fallout from the BCCI banking scandal, Mattel incongressional investigations related to toy safety, andNorthrop in government investigations and litigationsarising out of alleged bribery in Korea.Powers met her husband, Danny Sauls, also a lawyer,while in law school. She worked part time as anassociate while there two daughters, Laura and Carey,were young. She was promoted to partner in 1990 andFirm Administrative Partner in 1994, taking on globalresponsibilities for developing firm policies, includingspearheading efforts to make the firm's flexible workpolicies available to partners as well as associates.In 2003, she became Partner-in-Charge of theWashington, DC office, one of the firm's largestwith more than 220 lawyers. In that role, Powersoversaw a major expansion of physical facilities andthe development of new practice areas. In 2011, shebecame Partner-in-Charge of the firm's European andMiddle Eastern operations which include 12 offices andmore than 400 lawyers. The high-powered attorneyalso serves on the firm's Advisory and PartnershipCommittees, the two management committees ofJones Day."I am a litigator," Powers states matter-of-factly. "I handlea range of different types of disputes and governmentinvestigations. I am usually defending corporations andindividuals, but occasionally, I also represent a companypursuing claims as a plaintiff. I have representedcompanies in grand jury and regulatory investigationsinto allegations of foreign bribery, bank fraud andmoney laundering, and in parallel congressionalinvestigations relating to the same issues. I've alsorepresented companies in toxic tort suits, fraud suits,and in litigation arising out of the events of September11, 2001. Many of the matters on which I've workedhave an international dimension – either the clients areforeign, or the law suit or investigation involves mattersthat occurred outside the U.S.""Washington is a great place to live and work. It's abeautiful city with a diverse population from aroundthe globe, and it has an endless array of interestinglegal issues cropping up," describes Powers. "But, Ispend more time in court in New York and California. IfI weren't sitting at my desk looking out at the Capitol, Iwouldn't know I was in D.C. half the time!"She appreciates her Catholic faith and education."Our faith teaches that we are all God's children, andas such, are entitled to respect and human dignityregardless of race, class, nationality, etc. That sameuniversality also underlies the rule of law, which iscontinued on page 6“My faith reinforces the importanceof working as a lawyer to strengthenthe rule of law, particularly in thedeveloping world.”Notre Dame - Cathedral Latin Seasons Seasons Summer Summer 2011 2011 5

"My faith reinforces theimportance of working as a lawyer to strengthen the ruleof law, particularly in the developing world. It has alsobeen a driver for the pro bono and community outreachactivities in which I've been involved."Her accomplishments have been recognized by theDC Women's Bar Association, the National Law Journal,and Best Lawyers in America. Powers was awarded aTransformative Leadership Award by InsideCounsel in2010. In addition to her work at the firm, she has been alecturer in trial advocacy at George Washington Universityand served on the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Committee.Despite her outstanding legal career to-date, Powers stilllooks back at her time at Notre Dame Academy."One of my fondest memories of NDA was the SeniorPilgrimage to Washington, D.C. – a city I'd never been to atthat point in my life," recalls the proud NDA graduate. "Wespent more time in churches than in museums, but it wasa fabulous introduction to the nation's capital. I also lovedthe sports at NDA. In the early 1970s, we had only interclasscompetition because there were no interscholasticleagues for girls at the time. We had 100 plus girls try outfor freshman basketball and volleyball teams, and thecompetition was fierce. This exposure to team sports atNDA gave me enough experience to play sports at thecollege level as leagues began to emerge in the wake ofTitle IX. It was also an invaluable experience for enteringthe business world." The varsity athlete at Oberlin coachedCYO girls' basketball for many years and played in over-30 basketball leagues "well past the age when wisdomshould have prevailed."Authority alleges that a tenant, a household member,or one of their guests engaged in criminal activity. Webring these cases to jury trials."The 1998 NDCL alumnus earned a B. A. degree fromthe University of Notre Dame, double majoring inGovernment & International Studies and Psychology.Upon graduating from Notre Dame, Bauters worked inthe AmeriCorps Program for one year as a disaster reliefcoordinator for the American Red Cross."After committing myself to a year of volunteerism andsocial work after college, I realized that I had the potentialto do more for the people I wanted to help. I was struckby how many people needed help but lacked theeducation or ability to provide meaningful self-advocacyfor themselves," Bauters explains. "People with lowincome or education lack equal access to justice in theircommunities. I decided that more needed to be done togive them a voice and that my desire to help them wouldhave a greater impact through the practice of law."His desire to become a voice for this population led himto earn his J.D. from Boston College Law School in 2006."During law school, I became even more passionateabout civil and human rights. As a law student, Isuccessfully litigated political asylum for a Somalianasylum-seeker under the Massachusetts student attorneystatute before the Federal Immigration Court in Boston,"Bauters recalls.

"Ilove competition and sport. Being able to take longruns on the campus during practice and just gettinglost in my head was as fun as racing in invitationals onweekends," he recalls. "I still use running and physicalexercise as a way of relieving the day's stress."He continues, "I also think the service opportunitiesI participated in at NDCL were instrumental inhelping me craft a lifestyle of service to others." Ialso remember how Sister Emilia had a tangible lovefor both her students and her role as teacher at NDCL. Ibelieve the reasons for which you remember others areindications of the things you should try to do in your life.I take that with me.""My faith impacts my life and career. I believe everyoneis made in God's likeness and that we love God morecompletely by showing compassion for others. Myclients know that I do not judge them for who theyare or what they have done. I give them the respectall people should be afforded, and I recognize themfor their strengths as opposed to their challenges orweaknesses," the passionate attorney emphatically states."The value of a Catholic education cannot beunderstated as to how it has benefitted my professionalcareer," concludes Bauters. "I have had a Catholiceducation from the very first day of kindergarten to mylast day of law school. It gave me a heightened sense ofsocial awareness and taught me mores and values that Iemploy in my everyday professional dealings with others.Many lawyers want to transact on a purely business level.By adhering to the tenets of my faith and treating otherswith courtesy and respect, I am able to humanize manyof my clients to others – a small but significant step toobtaining justice for all."K a t e D a i l e y R i n g ' 9 7After graduating from NDCL, Kate Dailey headed toWashington DC, graduating magna cum laude fromRing moved on to Spot Trading, LLC, a proprietaryoptions trading and market-making firm, a registeredbroker dealer and member of the Chicago Board OptionsExchange. During her time at Spot, Ring led the firm'scompliance program and helped build out new businesslines. "As a proprietary trading firm, their goal is to makeas much money for the firm as they can. It was very hightech and cutting edge – a fast-paced, entrepreneurialcompany that kept me on my toes," she recalls, laughing."I spent my days on-call for traders and firm partnerssolving compliance problems and answering tradingquestions IMMEDIATELY. It was fun, and I was sad toleave, but relocating to Maryland was the right decision."This move by Kate and her husband, Anthony, in the fallof 2010 resulted in Kate finding employment as the chiefcompliance officer for Fortigent, LLC. "My husband and Imet at American University, and although we moved toChicago immediately after graduation and lived there fornine years, we always knew we would come back to theEast Coast and DC area," describes Kate."Today, I spend most of my days analyzing securities lawsand regulations and advising my company on what canbe done within those rules and regulations," explains theexceptional compliance lawyer. "Because of economiccontinued on page 8Notre Dame - Cathedral Latin Seasons Summer 2011

Asa compliance officer, my mandate is to make sure thatmy company follows the SEC's rules as well as otherorganizations, such as FINRA." Additionally, Ring is the maincontact with all regulatory agencies and outside law firms.She reflects back on her days in high school. "My greatestmemories of NDCL involve the friends I made there," Katerecalls. "Even after 15 years, some of my fondest memoriesare with these NDCL friends – from the volleyball court toproms and football games. I truly met some remarkablepeople at NDCL and some are still very important peoplein my life. My Matron of Honor and college roommate wasMaura Harris Davis '97, and Tara Tekancic Grano '97 was alsoa bridesmaid. There is a group of about 10 of us girls fromthe Class of '97 that try to meet when we're all home andkeep in touch over Facebook." Ring's older brother, MattDailey, is a '94 NDCL alumni."I've always had a passion for words, writing and reading,"says Ring. "I became incredibly passionate about politicsand government when I was a student at NDCL. Iparticipated in NDCL's 'Close Up' trip my junior year and fellin love with Washington DC. So I headed to AmericanUniversity upon graduating high school."My Catholic faith plays a role in my familyand career at a very foundational level.My parents, Mary Jo and Donald, alwaystaught me to be a good person and treateveryone with respect. My Catholiceducation also instilled those values inme," Ring states. "Many of us went tolaw school and practice law becausewe believe in the fundamental fairnessof law. We want to be contributingmembers of that system. I may notbe out there making impacts oncutting-edge areas of civilrights or religious freedoms. Bymaking sure my company isdoing right, I can impact theworld at large. Ethics is ahuge part of my career. Ipride myself on my ethicsand integrity. I believe myNDCL education, as wellas my parents, taught methat, in the end, all youhave is your integrity tostand by."M a t t h e w A .L a l l o ' 0 2The tools of the trade havechanged since Ivan Ottoand his former partners firstbegan practicing law. Today,polygraph tests, surveillancevideos, DNA, Face Book, and ahost of other tools have beenadded to the arsenal lawyersrely on to prove the guilt or innocence of their clients.Just ask Matt Lallo '02, an associate attorney with Lallo &Feldman, located in Willoughby, Ohio."These advancements can both help or hurt clients," warnsLallo. "Recently, I was able to use Facebook in an harassmentcase to demonstrate that the girl pressing charges was noangel. These technological advances help lawyers get thefacts out.""I am basically the IT guy at the law firm," laughs Lallo. "Ijust recently bought a smart phone for my dad." His fatheris Ernest Lallo, principal at Lallo & Feldman. He and hispartner Michael Feldman established the firm in 1979. "Asa child, I was fascinated with his career and thought I wouldlike to follow in his footsteps. However, it wasn't until myNDCL career experience when I shadowed a prosecutor anddefense attorney in the area that this career decision wassolidified."As a student, Lallo was very involved at NDCL and served asstudent body president his senior year. He remains activein the NDCL Alumni Association and frequently attendssporting events, social activities and fundraising programsat his alma mater. "I don't think students really appreciatewhat NDCL does for you until they go to college. We arebetter educated and more equipped for college and life asa result of attending this school," insists the young attorney.All of his siblings are NDCL alumni, Joe '98, Melissa '99,Michelle '03 and his mother Helen (Intihar) Lallo is a 1972alumni of Notre Dame Academy.Lallo earned a B.A. degree in Political Science and ItalianStudies from Miami University in 2006 and his law degreefrom Cleveland-Marshall College of Law in 2009. He alsopassed his bars on his first attempt in November 2009."I love practicing law," Lallo exclaims. Lallo practicesworkers' compensation, personal injury and criminaldefense. "Every day is different. Yesterday I was arguingan appellate case in Columbus, today I am talking withprosecutors in Willoughby to get a fair deal for two clientscharged with DUI, and tomorrow I will be in Clevelandto present a case before a hearing officer concerning aworkers' compensation claim."8

Nothing is to bepreferred before justice."As a lawyer, you want to make sure that the person who hasa little or no voice is heard," Lallo states. "Law gives everyonean even playing field, from the multi-million dollar insurancecompany to the average working person who makes $30,000 ayear. The heart of my work is workers' compensation cases. I alsorepresent criminal cases ranging from theft to armed burglary,assaults, rape and homicides. In some cases, justice may not beto have the case dismissed but to determine how the client canmake restitution and will not repeat the crime. This job keepsyou on your toes."He describes a recent workers' compensation case herepresented where a young woman was run over by a forklift onthe job. She needed to have part of her right leg amputated, andwhen she fell onto the concrete flooring, she suffered traumaticbrain injury. "What I do has a huge impact, not just on my clients,but on their family. You get emotionally invested in the cases.You care about your clients personally."Lallo and his wife Megan are expecting their first child in August.A m y L . ( A r c e c i ) P a p e s h ' 9 3A family tragedy led Amy Arceci Papesh '93 to the field of law.She currently works within the law firm of Elk & Elk. Co., Ltd.,located in Mayfield Heights."I decided to become a lawyer at a very young age," Papeshdescribes. "My family was involved in a lawsuit when my brotherwas born with cerebral palsy. I can vividly remember a number ofattorneys and videographers coming to my house to videotape'A Day in Life' video of my brother. It was very moving. Sincethat day, I cannot remember wanting to be anything else."Papesh's brother, Tony, suffered anoxic brain injury during birthresulting from a failure to adequately monitor her mother duringdelivery.

Underneath those fine qualities is a strong faith, a striking love of their families and astrong affiliation with the students, faculty and staff of NDCL. There is no doubt, they will be missed!”Joseph A. Waler, principal of NDCL, also bids our graduates a fond farewell, “I’ll really miss the strongcollaborative spirit of this senior class. There was never any tension between the adult and studentleadership. They would walk into my office, sit down, and work with me on ways to change our schoolcommunity for the better. It was such a blessing!”The Most Reverend Roger W. Gries, OSB, presided at the Baccalaureate Liturgy on May 20th, and thecommencement speaker was Brother Thomas Giardino, SM, '60 who currently serves as the executivedirector of the International Center for Marianist Formation at the University of Dayton.

Make promises that are worthy of a Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin graduate."1010

A SALUTE TO CLASS OF 2011SENIOR STANDOUTSOut of 166 talented seniors, six students exemplify the core values of NDCL throughtheir academic and extracurricular achievements and dedication to faith, leadership andservice. As a result, they left a lasting impression on NDCL and all those around them.When it comes to extracurricularactivities, Erin Malone has anextensive resume. As seniorclass president, National HonorSociety member, co-presidentof the Social Justice Club, andPowder Puff Football coordinator,she juggled a slew of diverseactivities while maintaining herdedication to faith and service.Erin did all of this while holding down a part-time job.Despite her hectic schedule, she maintained a 3.867grade point average and served as a Eucharistic ministerand Mass lector.“Through NDCL, I learned to strengthen my faith andtruly become the Catholic I am today,” says Erin. “NDCLgives you the opportunity to grow in your faith throughcampus ministry activities and through the TheologyDepartment. During senior year, we learned a lot moreabout ourselves as opposed to the fundamentals ofdifferent religions.”One of Erin’s most important accomplishments atNDCL was being a leader at the first-ever Kairos retreat,she says. “That was a big success. I was so excited andhonored to be chosen as a leader.”The word “Kairos” is adapted from the Greek termmeaning “God’s time.”The four-day, three-night retreat gives high school andcollege students the opportunity to contemplate God’srole in their lives.Erin attends St. Gabriel Church and lives in Concordwith her parents, Ann and John, and her three brothers:John ’07, Neil ’09, and Mark ’13. This fall, she heads to theUniversity of Dayton to study business. She hopes to landa co-op job or a business internship while continuingher commitment to Eucharistic ministry and service. Erinencourages her fellow schoolmates to make the most oftheir high school opportunities.“Learn to set your priorities and practice timemanagement,” she advises. “Strive to do the best that youcan because it’s going to help you throughout your collegeyears. Really take the experiences that you have here atNDCL and use them in your life beyond high school.”Matthew Dwyer discovered afew great ways to leave his markon NDCL and his community.As a senior, he was part of therelay team that set two schoolrecords: one in the outdoor sprintmedley and the other in the 4 x200 indoor. To cap off his seniortrack season, Matt served as analternate on the 4 x 200 meterrelay team that participated inthe 2011 state track and field tournament. And, throughseveral Boy Scout service projects, Matt helped preserveand protect some of our county’s most beautiful parks.On May 14, Matt received his Eagle Scout award, thehighest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts of Americaprogram. For his Eagle project requirement, hespearheaded the creation of a walking trail at Munson’sScenic River Park. From clearing out foliage and fallen treesto installing trail marker posts, Matt was responsible for theorganization, budgeting and planning of the new trail.“A lot of people think Scouts is just walking grandmothersacross the street and tying knots, but it’s not,” says Matt.“It’s about leadership, communication and a multitude ofsurvival and life skills.”At NDCL, Matt was a four-year member of the CreativeWriting, Lion Pride and Drama Clubs. He spent fouryears lending his creative talents to the Mane Pagenewspaper and, as a freshman, earned a place on theWall of Distinction.

A SALUTE TO CLASS OF 2011SENIOR STANDOUTScontinued from page 11“From an academic standpoint, NDCL prepared mefor life,” he says. “Not just for learning how to do a mathproblem, but for writing and composition, learning how tocommunicate with others, how to collaborate, and how tocritically think and look beyond the simple school problemsto solve the larger issues.”“The quality of your life will depend on how well you candeal with the challenges you’re presented with,” he adds.“Life isn’t judged on how many problems that you dealwith, but how well you deal with the problems you aregiven.”From the classroom to court totrack, Lindsay Hammer was astar in every arena she entered.An accomplished three-yearvarsity basketball player, Lindsaywas named North Coast LeagueGirls Varsity Basketball 1st Team,All-Ohio Honorable Mention, andearned a place on the 2010-2011 News Herald All-Star Team.Her stellar performance during a half-time competitionduring that game landed her the coveted title of ThreePoint Champion. A four-year varsity track team member,Lindsay is part of the 4 x 100 meter relay team that holdsthe NDCL school record.

For thepast two years, she participated in an internship at theCleveland Clinic where she was mentored by a pediatricorthopaedic surgeon.Throughout the full-time, nine-week internship, Lindsayhad the opportunity to observe surgeries and researchmedical technology. Of all the medical procedures anddevices she learned about, Lindsay was most intrigued bythe hip scopes used in hip arthroscopy procedures. Herrequired research project involved studying the trendsand side effects of patients who had undergone hiparthroscopy.“The Cleveland Clinic experience was very memorablefor me,” says Lindsay. “It was really hard to get, but it wasso worth it. I met so many people and got to know topdoctors.”Lindsay resides in Newbury with her parents, James andDiana, and younger siblings, Aaron and Alexis. She willattend The Ohio State University to major in biology or arelated field. Before heading to Columbus, she offers NDCLstudents some insight:“There are so many opportunities at this school. Takeadvantage of all those opportunities—like service andwork experience—because they will be very importantlater in life. They’re important now, too.”Balancing football, StudentCouncil, activities, and honorsclasses can’t be easy, but KyleFlynn sure made it look that way.With a 4.10 grade point averageand an exceptional performanceon the ACT test, Kyle shined inacademics and extracurriculars.A senior captain of the Lionsfootball team, Kyle’s contributionsto the offensive and defensive lines led to numerousathletic honors, including the Geauga County TouchdownClub Outstanding Student-Athlete Award.
