By embracing Gospel values in an inclusive, nurturing community and by inspiring intellectual excellence in a structured liberal arts curriculum, St. Sebastian’s strives to empower students for success in college and in life.

From the desk of the headmaster William L. Burke III “Whoever loves God must also love his brother.” —1 John 4:21 The Greeks knew to the full how bitter life is as well as how sweet. Joy and sorrow, exultation and tragedy, stand hand in hand in Greek literature, but there is no contradiction involved thereby. Those who do not know the one do not really know the other either. It is the depressed, the gray-minded people, who cannot rejoice just as they cannot agonize. (Edith Hamilton ~ The Greek Way) I am happy to report that we don’t have “gray-minded” people at St. Sebastian’s. We experience and express the full range of emotions, rejoicing and agonizing and sometimes just sitting together. We work through what must be worked through, and we labor not alone. In his Corporate Chapel address on January 2, 2013, Tommy McCabe ’13 shared that although he had suffered much through two hip surgeries and seemingly interminable recovery periods during his time here, there was always a fellow Arrow to carry his book bag, to push his wheelchair, or to get him lunch, and he offered these words: If you’re an Arrow, you’ll never have to go through anything alone for the rest of your life. What a perfect expression of theme for this issue of our magazine, which celebrates the unique Arrow brotherhood! With granduncle Gerry Giblin ’51 and uncles, Tom Giblin ’75, Walter “Bud” Giblin ’76, and Jim Giblin ’78 and younger brother Jimmy ’17 experiencing the beautiful truth before him and with him, Tommy knows well of what he speaks. And what a happy ending! After missing several seasons of sports, Tommy was able to play on our ISL and New England Bowl championship football team this year, and did he ever rejoice with his teammates! Along with testimony of the integrity, the beauty, and the truth of the St. Sebastian’s brotherhood, you will read of high academic achievement and of great successes in the arts, in athletics, and in a host of extracurricular programs and activities, you will be treated to photos and copy of dedication ceremonies in our phenomenally beautiful new facilities, which continue to exceed our highest expectations, and you will read of engaging guest speakers and of other exciting aspects of life at your School. Please know how much we appreciate all that our students, their families, our faculty and staff, our trustees and alumni, and our many friends do to advance our most important mission: the pursuit of truth through faith and reason. May God continue to bless you all. Sincerely, William L. Burke III Headmaster WWW.STSEBASTIANSSCHOOL.ORG | 3
