s494_r1.qxd 3/8/2002 4:59 AM Page 3 a PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE From my office window I watch vans of students fill up and head out. Golf team, swimming, debate. Classes may be over, but the school day is far from it. I decide it’s time to escape. It’s about 4:00 p.m., time for my daily stroll around the campus. Often I have been locked up in the office too much of the day with meetings, or I have been off campus visiting friends of the School. So I am more than ready to see what is really going on around the place. You might imagine that by 4:00 the campus is strangely quiet, classes over and students and faculty gone. Not true at all. As I begin my stroll, I find students working with Mr. Jim Gilbert on the Prep Bowl competition. The 27 th annual Prep Bowl, that is. Other students work away after hours in the 200 and 300 buildings in newspaper and yearbook offices, telling our story and recording our history. I duck into the theater, filled with students working with Mr. Mike Sullivan ‘87, learning lines and blocking for the upcoming show. I pass by the new classroom building and look in a window to spot Fr. Mark Thibodeaux, S.J., our school chaplain, leading a discussion on the lectionary and next Sunday’s readings with a group of faculty members. The Gessner field is filled with freshman soccer players, some parents on the sidelines patiently waiting to drive carpool home after practice. I cut through the gym and catch a few minutes of one of our five basketball teams playing against a local rival. The parking lot is still strewn with cars as I wander over to the Field House. Dozens of our underclassmen hanging out in front, tossing and kicking balls. Waiting for mom. “What’s taking her so long?” they seem to wonder. (No school can completely overcome the egocentric world of an adolescent boy.) Up the stairs to watch the wrestlers grappling with one another in what was formerly the music room. Down the back stairs, out the door to see the weight room overflowing with students, mostly off-season athletes, developing strong bodies after a day of developing their minds. Lacrosse, our newest sport, is practicing behind the visitors’ bleachers, showing amazing adeptness for a group only in its second year…The track is under the careful gaze of Coaches Webster and Kerley. Sprints, distance, hurdles. I get tired just looking at them…Soccer on the main field and the backfields…baseball already in tryouts on the diamond…students working as trainers… My intended 20-minute stroll often extends to an hour. As I finally get back to the office, emails and phone messages waiting, I smile. Students, faculty, coaches, parents. Everywhere you look, the campus is filled with life, filled with the Creator’s creative process. As the Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote, For Christ plays in ten thousand places, Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his To the Father through the features of men’s faces. This is grace. Recognizing God at work in different places throughout our 44 acres. I am a very blessed man. It’s hard for me to imagine having a better job than the one I now have. I am glad that we—you and I—join in this work together. Building Men for Others. Fr. Daniel K. Lahart, S.J. Crusader Chronicle a 1
