The rising junior Class of
2025 elected Chase Hatch
as their President and Jack Reh
as their Vice President during
this week’s StuCo elections,
marking them as the first Stu-
Co leaders to be elected for the
upcoming school year.
This past Tuesday, before
the sophomores cast their
votes on a Google Form, candidates
running for junior
President and Vice President
gave speeches to the class in
the West Si Commons during
Advisory period.
“I liked the passion in the
speeches. Also the call-outs
showed the connection between
the candidates and the
students,” said sophomore
John Powers.

President-elect Jack Reh gave
an invigorating and thoughtful
speech about the meaning
of brotherhood and community
along with how he
wants to apply it to the Class
of 2025’s day-to-day life as
juniors.
“I talked about just helping
to bring the class together as
one because I still think that
we’re a little divided and not as
unified as we should be,” said
Reh. “Even though we all are a
part of a brotherhood, I think
that we could all still be more
together and involved in stuff
like sports games, community
days, and intramurals. I think
that, as VP, I could help to solidify
that brotherhood even
more.”

English teacher John Kavanaugh
will be departing the
faculty at the end of the school
year, leaving behind a legacy
of enthusiasm, kindness, and
a genuine love for teaching.
Kavanaugh’s tenure started in
2012, but his connections to
Saint Louis U. High began years
earlier.
Kavanaugh started his long
journey at SLUH back as a student
in 1987, where he enjoyed
many of the same experiences
that Jr. Bills encounter today.
He was taught by computer
science teacher Steve Nicollerat
and math teacher Beth Kissel
freshman year and was heavily
influenced by English teacher
Bill George.

Potential awardees can be

determined.
This year, the award was bestowed
upon Pollard, who now

these defining moments was
working with George in the
Irish Literature course.

came back as an ASC, he was
gracious enough to invite me
to not exactly team teach, but
to sort of be with him to teach
that course,” explained Kavanaugh.
“Mr. George let me work
with him, because it was a real
interest of mine in college. And
he encouraged me to pursue
higher studies in Irish literature
in grad school.”

Volume 87, Issue 28
(continued from page 1)
After returning to graduate
school, Kavanaugh later taught
at several schools in the Saint
Louis area. While teaching at
Cor Jesu, Kavanaugh learned
that George had fallen ill and
there was a possibility that he
would not be able to continue
teaching his courses they had
worked together on in the past.
“That’s how I found out
about the opening,” said Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh had begun his
eleven-year teaching career at
SLUH, and luckily George was
able to recover.
Through his time at SLUH,
Kavanaugh has taught an array
of courses, including Sophomore
English, British Literature,
and Satire. For the last
eight years, he has also taught
Computer Fundamentals to
incoming freshmen over the
summer. He has taught Junior
and Honors English for the
past 10 years, he has continued
to teach Irish Literature, and he
also teaches a section of Senior
English Capstone.
One of his most memorable
classes for many students
is Junior English. The class
has a curriculum which features
several short stories, the
Shakespearean comedy Much
Ado About Nothing, and Joseph
Heller’s Catch-22, as well as a
quarter spent on poetry. A key
aspect to many people’s experiences
was the dramatic way in
which Kavanaugh sometimes
taught.
“I instantly go back to
Catch-22 and the day after
reading the chapter ‘The Eternal
City’ where Yossarian sees
a war-torn Rome,” reminisced
senior Caiden Zeitler. “The
whole class was dark, and then
he walks in late wearing dark
sunglasses and just goes and
sits in his chair. He didn’t say a
word for a long time and we’re
all just sitting there like ‘what
is happening?’ Finally he said
a few words to the extent of
‘check Canvas’. It was a fun way
of setting the tone for what had
happened in that last chapter
and it was really memorable.”
Kavanaugh’s flair for theatrics
often intersected with
SLUH’s own theater program.
He worked as a sound technician
in Dauphin Players productions
for many years. English
teacher Chuck Hussung
worked in several productions
alongside Kavanaugh, whose
playful nature often showed
even from the sound controls.
“A year ago the musical
was The Addams Family, and
Andrew Marty played Uncle
Fester,” said Hussung. “Fester
is completely bald, so they just
shaved his head. And on the day
of the opening night John Kavanaugh
came to school dressed
as Fester, because he’s already
got the hair in the right shape,
so he put the makeup on his
eyes and wore the outfit. There’s
always a kind of playfulness.”
Kavanaugh has also been
a part of several clubs and cocurriculars
over his extensive
tenure. He has been a part of
the Gaelic Football Club, moderated
the Star Wars Club, moderated
and co-moderated the
Yearbook Club, worked with
Missouri Youth and Government,
contributed to Sisyphus,
and much more.
“Yeah, you name it, at some
point I’ve probably tried it,”
laughed Kavanaugh.
Recently, he has enjoyed
working alongside librarian
Lynne Casey and other faculty
members to choose the
2021-2022 summer reading
book Patron Saints of Nothing.
He had the opportunity to
meet the book’s author Randy
Ribay, both during a presentation
in his Capstone Class and
at a dinner alongside the entire
All-School Book Committee.
Another memory is flaunting
his world-famous alter-ego, DJ
Kavvy, showing off his musical
mastery of the mixer at Senior
Prom, Junior Ring, Sophomore
Formal, Freshman Dance, and
Fall Ball, each twice. Finally, he
fondly enjoys the several Ireland
trips he has been on with
George.

Bona Fide Supraman: Kavanaugh reflects on time at SLUH
Esports adds League of Legends,
heads to state in No. 1 seed
BY Grayson Stevenson
Core Staff
The St. Louis U. High Esports
team has added a
brand new game, League of
Legends, to their assortment
of video games, and challenged
the top two teams in the region
yesterday. The team will head to
the playoffs in Kansas City on
May 5 to face the top two teams
from each of the three Missouri
regions.
Yesterday, in the team’s last
round before their state competition,
they won the entire
tournament.
“Yeah we won the finals,”
said senior Ethan Pini. “We won
with a 25 kill lead!”
One of the many bright
spots among the SLUH Esports
team has been freshman Thomas
Schlidt. Schlidt has been a major
asset to the team throughout
the season, allowing the team to
run like a well oiled machine.
“He’s our sub and he’s a
freshman,” said Hoffmann.
“He really is the lifeblood of the
team and always shows up ready
to grind every single practice,
never misses practice and never
misses game days.”
The team is currently undefeated
and the No. 1 seed for
their region in Missouri. Their
art | Jesse Heater
accomplishments are a result
of persistent team leadership
throughout the season and
having participants that range
from the freshman class to the
seniors. From the introduction
of this new game, however, the
freshmen have taken a much
more active role this year in the
development of the team’s identity
when playing the new game.
“Then we have our seniors
Nathan Wilhelm and Ethan
Pini, a sophomore Nuri Guneyli,
and freshman Thomas Schlidt,”
added Cornett.
The team is moderated by
English teacher David Callon
and SLUH alumnus Jimmy
Hoffman ’13.
“Dr. Callon does an excellent
job of encouraging us and
making himself available,” said
Cornett. “Our coach, Jimmy
Hoffmann, is a SLUH alum
and when we went through the
applications, I know that they
chose the absolute right person
to help lead our team.”
MOSEF has fostered a
community that allows players
to engage with a variety of
games, including Super Smash
Brothers, Rocket League, and
Valorant. Recently, they have
added a brand new game to the
list, League of Legends.
“Unfortunately, the game
is notorious for having a passive
aggressive fan base,” said
Hoffmann. “But I think there
is value to the game, League requires
more coordination and
teamwork than any other game
we have in Esports … there is a
lot of game knowledge that goes
into it and it really builds up a
team.”
The nature of the new game
involves both extreme strategies,
communication, and good
technical awareness. The goal of
the game is to destroy the other
teams ‘Nexus’, or their base. To
do that, you must get through
turrets, inhibitors, minions,
and most importantly, enemy
champions. By acquiring gold
around the map, teams are able
to build up their champions and
overpower the enemy team. The
map includes three lanes which
teams fight on and a surrounding
area, or jungle, which is used
to traverse the map quickly, gain
extra gold, and get many other
advantages such as regaining
health, damage, speed, by destroying
monsters in the jungle
“There are a bunch of different
characters in the game,”
said Hoffmann. “The gold you
get throughout the game is your
main objective, it helps you upgrade
your character and makes
it easier to win the match.”
The team hopes to expand
in the coming years and to engage
more members within the
SLUH community to enjoy what
the sport has to offer.
“I really would like to have a
team next year,” said Hoffmann.
“So if anyone is an eighth grader
right now thinking about coming
to SLUH, I think we have a
very good program, and I have
had an awesome time so far
here.”
He is also very grateful for
all the relationships that he has
made with the teachers and students
at SLUH. Kavanaugh explained
how many other faculty
members had been supportive
during the death of his uncle,
renowned Jesuits John Kavanaugh,
SJ and other struggles.
Especially during his medical
leave in January, he is thankful
for all who helped substitute
and kept him in their prayers.
“My deepest gratitude to my
colleagues in the English Department
who subbed for me
during my medical leave this
past January,” said Kavanaugh.
“Also thanks to the administrators
who helped coordinate the
coverage as well and supported
me during my leave and after
my return; Sra. (Magdalena)
Alvarado who guided our
Sophomore Advisory during
my time as well; and a very special
thanks to the kind students
in the Advisory for their prayers
and cards, and most especially,
my wonderful students in Junior
English for their prayers.”
Maybe the quintessential
example of who Kavanaugh is
comes from an old Irish blessing
(displayed below) he wished
to share with the greater SLUH
community, showing his deep
care for everyone at SLUH. Kavanaugh
will be remembered by
some for his kindness, others
April 21, 2023

for his at times unorthodox way
of teaching, and still others for
the genuine love he put into his
work. But for all, he will be remembered,
as Yossarian would
say, being “a real slam-bang,
honest-to-goodness, threefisted
humdinger … a bona fide
Supraman.”
May the road rise up to meet
you.
May the wind be always at your
back.
May the sun shine warm upon
your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm
of His hand.

Letter to the Editors
My friend was shot. And almost nobody knew.
My friend was shot. And
almost nobody knew.
Last Thursday (4/13)
Ralph Yarl, a Black 16 year
old, was simply trying to
pick up his younger siblings.
He accidentally went to the
wrong address and after
merely ringing the doorbell,
was shot by the elderly white
homeowner in the head and
then again in the arm as he
fell backwards. Ralph had to
run to three different houses
before someone was finally
willing to help him.
I learned about this the
following Saturday (4/15)
when a mutual friend sent
me an Instagram reel of his
aunt speaking out. Frantically,
I searched for more news
but only found a few very
broad local news articles
from that night (which only
mentioned that a shooting
of a juvenile occurred) and
a couple posts and stories
from his aunt. That was all.
I was restless the rest of the
night, worried and anxious
that this would fade away.
Thankfully things started
to change Sunday (4/16) as
several activists and attorneys
picked up his case and a
peaceful protest occurred in
the neighborhood where he
was shot. On Monday (4/17),
the floodgates opened as
large media outlets finally
reported his story. The calls
for action became overwhelming
until the shooter
was finally charged with two
felonies that afternoon.
Three days. It took over
three days for something to
happen. And a big part of
me wonders— what if the
story never broke to the
masses? Would his life be
forever traumatized while
everything else goes on like
nothing happened?
Even for the many of you
that never met him, this is
not just some thing that
happened on the other side
of the state. No, this is one
of your peers, a fellow high
school junior, a kind, empathetic,
loving and intelligent
individual who was profiled
and then instantly attacked.
That could happen to any
person in this school, no
matter your race, build or
other defining characteristic.
As this and the CVPA
shooting showed, tragedy
is always much closer than
you think.
As a SLUH student, I am
proud to see people who
never met him reshare his
story—that is how news is
spread and change is eventually
made. But I must admit I
am also disappointed in the
many people who viewed it
and then scrolled by like it
was just another post on social
media, something mixed
in with the memes, highlights
and scores. We have
immense privilege, power
and voice as members of
this community, not using it
for something impactful is a
real shame and a detriment
to yourself and the world at
large.
I am thankful to say that
by the grace of God, Ralph
survived and was released
from the hospital Monday
(4/17) while receiving continuing
care at home. That
is not how these stories
go. When the homeowner
pulled the trigger, twice, he
wanted Ralph dead. These
types of stories do not often
have the victim returning
home days later alive. They
end in tragedy. Ralph’s did
not—for that I am extremely
thankful.
You all have a friend at
risk of being profiled. You all
know someone who could be
in this same scenario. Every
person in this building could
wake up the next day with
a friend dead—from one
simple mixup.
That is not how this
world should be. You can
change that. Advocate.
Whether you know the
victim or not, advocate for
change. One singular topic
won’t fix that heinous issue
but with voices united,
a culture of change can fix
our society. We won’t have
to live in fear that the ones
we love will be ripped away
from us.
You have the option to
speak out for peace, for justice.
So what kind of person
are you? What kind of person
will you choose to be?

St. Louis area students offer opinions on Jr. Bills’ public perception
(continued from page 1)
Assistant Principal for Student
Life Brock Kesterson repeatedly
emphasizes the idea
that every action made by a
Jr. Bill both in and outside of
school affects the public view
of SLUH. Be a good Jr. Bill:
a sentiment drilled into students’
heads at the end of every
Friday’s announcements.
This routine originated a few
years ago when the idea was
brought to Kesterson’s attention
through the Advisory
Committee for Student Affairs,
which no longer exists.
“I remember very specifically,
somebody came up to me
and said, ‘Nobody ever just tells
us we need to be good,’” said
Kesterson. “And so, I thought
about that, because we say,
‘Don’t do this. Don’t do that.
You can’t do this. You can’t do
that.’ And these are the rules,
right? But I remember I said,
‘You know what, that’s important.
Like you guys need to
hear, ‘You are good guys.’ And
you need to be good guys.”
But, in the eyes of those
who interact with SLUH students,
are we really being good
Jr. Bills?
The Prep News recruited
a group of student journalists
from other St. Louis area
high schools to help answer
this question. Students from
Cor Jesu Academy, St. Joseph’s
Academy, Visitation Academy,
Nerinx Hall, Clayton High
School, and Lindbergh High
School were eager to weigh in.
“I think that it’s a great
community and brotherhood,
but I feel like sometimes their
sense of brotherhood can be
somewhat excluding,” said
Melanie Armbrecht, Cor Jesu
’24. “They almost have this
kind of god complex. I think
they show kindness and respect
to each other within the
SLUH community, but when it
comes to other schools, whether
that be all-girls, all-boys, or
co-ed, it can become a bit more
toxic. I have a lot of friends at
SLUH though and they’re really
great people, so I think it
just depends.”
Armbrecht’s quote illustrates
the dichotomy in the
view of Jr. Bills. The commonly
observed arrogance conflicts
with the charisma and respect
beheld by SLUH students. Kesterson
stresses the importance
of representing SLUH and students’
personal identities consistently,
both in and outside of
the school environment.
“It’s easier to have to behave
in such a way on campus, but if
you go out there and you guys
act like goofballs outside of this
place, then what’s the point?”
said Kesterson. “What are we
really doing and are you really
who you say you are? Are you
just a fraud? I don’t want you
guys to be frauds, I want you
guys to be authentic, I want
you to be real and I want you
to think about those things.”
The Prep News’s auxiliary
reporters conducted their research
using three primary
lenses of focus: SLUH in extracurricular
activities, SLUH
in dating, and SLUH on social
media. Using these topics as
a guide for their interviews,
the reporters were able to gain
first hand testimonies from St.
Louis area high schoolers and
summarize their experiences
into common stereotypes and
widely held perceptions.
SLUH in Extracurricular Activities
A large amount of formal
interactions between Jr. Bills
and students of other schools
are in extracurricular activities,
such as Mock Trial and
Youth and Government. The
encounters that students have
had with Jr. Bills here have had
some lasting effects.
“I remember from YAG
that there were accusations
that the guys in the program
made a bet to see how many
girls they can get with, and
while there is no way to prove
how true it is, it is not surprising,”
said Sejal Sekhar, Viz ’23.
“While there might have been
a joke said, most say that they
believe there was truth within
the joke.”
From an outside perspective,
it seems that Jr. Bills’ main
purposes in extracurricular activities
is to win and get girls.
“While SLUH guys are
invested in extracurriculars,
it comes from a competitive
side of themselves rather than
participating in the activities
for their love/passion,” Sekhar
reports.
In Mock Trial, an activity
with many similarities to
YAG, Jr. Bills seem to conduct
themselves with heavy levels
of confidence even when their
arguments are not valid.
“They think they are better
than everyone else even
though we had better information,”
said one Viz student.
Other students are concerned
with Jr. Bills’ lack of
engagement in other activities
that other St. Louis area
schools may take more seriously.

said Lily Pingleton,
St. Joe ’23. “I’ve been interviewing
some of them for my
Women and Gender Studies
presentation, and it seems
that everything is focused on
curriculum, but I would like
to see SLUH focus more on
outreach, whether that’s connecting
with more St. Louis
high schools, different organizations
within St. Louis. From
what I’ve heard, most of the
outreach programs are just
there, but I’d like to see more
action within them.”
SLUH in Dating
“I no longer hear ‘SLUH,’ I
hear ‘slut.’”
This statement from an
anonymous Viz student paints
a troubling picture for the
reputation that Jr. Bills should
be striving for, according to
Kesterson. While the blatantly
harsh sentence may not be entirely
representative of a community
at large, these feelings
are not isolated.
“Talking to them was kind
of weird,” said Sofi Debourg,
Nerinx ’26. “I feel like part of
it is just that they’re teenage
guys, but I feel like they can
be a little more douchey than
other ones.”
The dating/flirting front
for Jr. Bills is not completely
negative, though. Some teenage
girls maintain respect and
positive opinions for SLUH
students.
“As a group compared to
other boys schools they’re
definitely a more respectful
bunch, at least the ones I interact
with,” said Pingleton, who
is currently dating a SLUH
senior.

else,” said a student from Clayton
High School. “Like I don’t
see a post and I’m like ‘That’s
from SLUH.’ I feel like they just
act like how everyone else acts.
Except the SLUH Sub Club on
Instagram is actually fire.”
Accounts like StuCo’s Instagram
and TikTok have far
reaching effects, having garnered
over 10,000 views on
four separate posts.
“StuCo, they have a great
TikTok,” said Debourg. “I always
see their TikToks and
I think that’s a great way to
represent the Billikens community.”
There is no clear cut way to
define the quality of the public
perception of the SLUH student
body. Whether it is good
or bad, it is certainly distinctive.
““You just know when a
SLUH guy goes to SLUH, like
it just makes sense,” said one
Viz student.
The way that Jr. Bills come
across in the public eye is important,
not just for admissions
and future attraction
of students to the school, but
also for the continued success
of the student body. The way
we are viewed matters.
“Often I get people saying,
‘I ran into a SLUH kid, and this
is how I want my kid to be or
this is what I want my son to
be when he grows up. I think
that’s so important,” said Kesterson.
“And again, we’re not
out there to do this just to do
it or just to advertise it, just
to publicize it. This is who we
are.”

Rugby defeats Eureka for state tournament berth
BY Ben Croat
Sports Editor
After a three week hiatus,
the St. Louis U. High
Rugby team took the field this
weekend, hosting the second
annual SLUH All-Catholic
Rugby Tournament. Against
top talent from all over the
country, the team had a perfect
record of 3-0, increasing
its national ranking to 23rd in
the continent.
Despite early setbacks causing
a 90-minute weather delay,
the Jr. Bills took the field only an
hour later than expected. Their
opponents, St. Martins from
Fort Scott Kansas (ranked 24th
in the nation), had just come off
a 48-point victory over St. Paul’s
(Winnipeg, Canada).
The multi-week break did
not seem to affect SLUH early.
On the opening kickoff, the Jr.
Bills passed the ball out wide
to senior Pau Thang, who ran
through defenders before passing
the ball off to junior Nathan
Gunn, who ran into the tryzone
for the opening score.
“I feel like we’re finally putting
it all together this year,”
said Gunn.
The rest of the half saw the
Jr. Bills dominate the pace of
play as they beat up on a smaller
opponent. With low scrums
and quick passing, SLUH was
up three scores at half, 17-0.
The second half was slightly
different as St. Martins had
a few solid drives late in the
game to put up a few tries. It
was too little too late as the Jr.
Bills took a 29-12 victory.
“We’ve been waiting a long
time for these games so it felt
really good to come out there
and play hard,” said Thang. “We
switched around a lot of positions
and we were still able to
prove that we’re a top program.”
SLUH’s second game of the
day was not much of a competition
as they faced off against
an under-manned team in St.
James. In the first 15 minutes
of play, the Jr. Bills scored six
tries and mercy-ruled their opponents
at halftime.
On the second day of action,
the Jr. Bills took the field
against their friends from Winnipeg
in St. Paul’s. The team put
their friendship aside in another
significant victory, besting
the Canadians 33-5.
“I’ve never seen so many
smiles in a rugby game in my
life,” said senior Adrian Mendoza.
“Like coach said, ‘we are
brothers off the field but on
the field we are enemies,” said
Thang. “We left everything out
on that field.”
The team started a little
slow as they seemed to play
with a little more fatigue than
their previous matches. Even
with this change in pace, the
team still put up numbers on
offense, scoring five tries.
On the weekend, junior
Rob Lawyer led the team in
tries with three while juniors
Trey Dino, David Kuebler, and
senior Nick Devoti each had
two. Juniors Tomas Grignola,
Archie Carruthers, and Gunn
also each had a try. Conversions
came from juniors Jack
McGaughey (4) and Tommy
Donelon (3).
“I believed in my teammates
and all my tries started
with them,” said Lawyer. “Those
were my first tries as a rugby
player and it felt amazing.”
This past Wednesday, SLUH
made the short trek over to Forest
Park’s Central Field to face
off against Eureka with a chance
to clinch their spot in the State
Tournament. Coming off a trio
of strong performances, the Jr.
Bills controlled the game and
capitalized on chances to clinch
a 28-12 victory.
From the beginning of the
game it was evident that wind
would be a factor, with strong
northern gusts affecting the
field of play. These conditions
led to a slow start from the Jr.
Bills, which was coupled with
bad passes and overall sloppy
play.
Luckily, SLUH picked it up
20 minutes into the match as a
series of forward runs ended
with a pass out to Gunn, who
took the ball into touch and
set up prime field possession
for the conversion, which was
made by junior Jack McGuaghey.
A few minutes later, the Jr.
Bills scored again off a scrum
near midfield on the near sideline.
The connection of Mc-
Gaughey, Gunn, and Kuebler
passed the ball down the line,
eventually taking the ball up
the far sideline with multiple
dump-off passes which ended
with Kuebleer touching the
ball down in the middle of the
field. After a made conversion
by McGuaghey, SLUH led 14-0.
With minutes left in the
half, the Jr. Bills were once again
knocking on the door. Led by
a strong run by Thang, Eureka
committed a penalty which was
quickly taken by Gunn who ran
past the defenders on his way
for his second try. After another
conversion, SLUH led 21-0 going
into half.
“They were chatting with
the sir over the call and so I
just went,” said Gunn. “Then it
was one-on-one with their nine
and I beat him.”
The second half proved to
be much more of a fight for the
Jr. Bills as a plethora of penalties
kept SLUH from developing offensive
momentum. About 15
minutes into the half, the Wildcats
saw their first real chance at
a score with a multi-series rally
from within the five-meter line,
aided by numerous SLUH penalties.
Eventually, Eureka scored
and with a made conversion,
pulled within two scores, 21-7.
“We started off a little sloppy
and had too many penalties,”
said Dino. “We can’t let other
teams chirp us out like that.”
In the next series, the Jr.
Bills recovered possession but
gave it away in their attacking
half, which led to a long run
down the far sideline which,
even with the runner being
called “in-touch,” was given to
the Wildcats on a technicality.
Just a few plays later, Eureka
took it in for their second score,
but missed the conversion to
keep the margin at two scores,
21-12.
“We got lazy playing defense
so much in that second
half,” said head coach Joseph
Husgen. “We kept allowing
them to beat us outside.”
With ten minutes remaining,
SLUH needed to rally in
order to secure their lead. Fortunately,
Lawyer took the initiative,
intercepting a Eureka pass
and returning it all the way to
the tryline where Devoti took
it in for the final score of the
game, clinching the victory.
After a made conversion the
game ended 28-12.
Right after school today,
the Jr. Bills will load the bus
for Cinccinati, where they will
face off against two ranked
programs on Saturday–44th
ranked St. Xavier and 30th
ranked Archbishop Moeller.
With a significant win streak
in hand, SLUH hopes to silence
their opponents as they prepare
for the State Championship in
May.
Commits Corner: Kam Bailey
BY Daniel Tice
Core Staff
Senior running back Kam
Bailey announced his commitment
to Depauw University
in February and will join
two fellow SLUH teammates
as a Tiger for the next four
years.
Before being a Tiger or
even a Jr. Bill, Bailey started
his career as a Chesterfield
Bear in the second grade
where he played offensive
line. However, at the same
time, he developed a love
for soccer and leapfrogged
that into a position change
to running back.
From an early age, coaches
were blunt to Bailey when
it came to playing football at
the next level. Unfortunately,
injuries were getting in the
way.
“In seventh grade, my
coach told me I had the skill
to play in college if I stayed
on my trajectory,” said Bailey
“The next year, I broke my
foot and really had to decide
if I wanted to keep playing.”
And luckily, he did. Despite
a few setbacks, Bailey
found success at SLUH, especially
in his senior season.
Bailey rushed for 558
yards and 5 touchdowns as
a senior, second only to star
receiver Ryan Wingo in total
yards.
“I knew what I had to do
as a leader on the team and
what was expected of me if
I wanted to play at the next
level,” said Bailey.
He knew and he executed
as offers from McPhearson,
Washington University, and
Depauw came in, giving Bailey
a decision to make. But it
was clear where he wanted
to be.
“Everything from the
coaching staff to the campus
itself made me fall in love
with Depauw,” said Bailey.
Bailey will also get a
chance to continue his football
career with two fellow
SLUH seniors in offensive
tackle Alex Fowler and linebacker
Louis Kertz.
“Getting to play with
them should be a lot of fun,”
said Bailey. “We’re gonna be
bringing the SLUH identity
up to the middle of Indiana.”
Bailey is planning on
studying Biology and Economics.

Strong pitching leads baseball over Lafayette; splits series with
De Smet
Golf edges out Catholic rivals
to close out final matches
BY Austin Wald and
Aiden Erard
Sports Editor, reporter
The golfers of St. Louis
U. High (6-1) ended the
bulk of their season this past
week, enduring tests against
De Smet, CBC, and Priory.
The team also walked away
with a fifth place finish at the
Webster Cup.
Last Thursday, the Jr. Bills
took on Jesuit rival De Smet,
and Jesuit guest St. Paul’s from
Winnipeg, in a tri-match at
Algonquin Golf Club. SLUH
took down both teams, scoring
235 to De Smet’s 238 and
the Canadians’ 239.
The Jr. Bills were led by senior
Matt Hempstead with his
season best 33 (2 under par).
Hempstead had a bogey-free
card, registering seven pars
and two birdies on his way to
the top individual finish of the
match.
“Everything was working
for me,” said Hempstead. “My
wedges and work around the
green were really what sealed
the deal.”
Freshman Harrison Zipfel
was once again in the
hunt, two strokes behind
Hemsptead with a round of
35 (even-par). Followed by
Hempstead and Zipfel was
freshman Nick Vilela at 39 (4
over par), junior Hank Fusco
at 40 (5 over par), senior Ben
Williams at 42 (7 over par),
and senior Austin Wald at 43
(8 over par).
The following Monday,
SLUH took on the Webster
Cup at Crescent Farms Golf
Course. The Jr. Bills had a mediocre
showing, all finishing
within one stroke of each other.
Sophomore Aiden Erard
led the way with a round of
80 (8 over par), followed by
Hempstead, Fusco, and Wald
all at 81 (9 over par). SLUH
took fifth place with a score of
323 behind Marquette’s winning
304 and Lafayette, Vianney,
and Chaminade.
A day later, the Jr. Bills
went up against one of the
best teams in St. Louis, CBC,
at Winghaven Country Club.
The match was a trip down
memory lane for some of
the squad who had won the
Bulldog Battle tournament
the prior week on the same
course. The Jr. Bills used their
experience to have their lowest
match score of the year
with a total of 222 to edge out
CBC’s 228.
First off was Erard and
junior Will Mungenast who
had both recently worked
their way back on to the
varsity squad. Erard played
a steady round with back to
back birdies on holes five and
six to highlight the round on
his way to a 36 (even par).
Mungenast started off hot, but
ultimately struggled on the
greens. He made a long putt
to birdie six, but a stretch of
bogeys put him at a total of 43
(7 over par).
Following Erard and
Mungenast were seniors
Austin Wald and Jack Gerard.
Wald had a respectable round
going, but the bunkers were
his downfall. He got into bunkers
on holes three and eight,
double bogeying both as a result.
Wald ended his day with
another frustrating 43 (7 over
par).
Gerard struggled as well.
Gerard frequently got into
tough spots throughout the
day and struggled to make
up for it with his short game.
He finished the day with a 44
(9 over par).
Third off the tee were Zipfel
and Vilela, who were both
coming off low rounds from
the previous week where Zipfel
finished first at the Bulldog
Battle with a score of 67. Feeling
confident, Zipfel started
his round hot with a couple
of early birdies. He was sitting
at 3 under par with a few
holes to play when he made a
couple of unfortunate bogeys
to finish, ending his round at
35 (1 under par).
Vilela played more of a
steady round making both
birdies and bogeys. He struggled
on the greens, but was
still able to put together a
round of 36 (even par).
Last to go out, Hempstead
and Fusco tore it up.
The duo combined for 15
greens in regulation, leading
the team to beat head coach
Dan Reardon’s bet that the
team couldn’t combine for 30
greens in regulation on the
day. The accuracy with irons
put Hempstead with yet another
score in the 30’s at 36
(even par), with Fusco close
behind at 37 (1 over par).
The team ended the
day with a stellar five of six
counted scores being in the
30’s for a total score of 222,
the squad’s lowest team score
of the season.
For the final match of the
season, the Jr. Bills matched
up against the Priory Ravens
at St. Albans Country Club.
Coming off of a team low the
day prior, they felt ready to
play. However, a windy day on
the course caused the Jr. Bills
to post some high numbers.
Even with some struggles,
the team still managed to win
their last match of the season
with a total score of 235 over
Priory’s 238. The win locked
the Jr. Bills in on a near perfect
season of 6-1.
Next on the schedule,
Zipfel, Vilela, Hempstead,
Wald, and Fusco hit the road
to DeMotte, Ind. for the Lake
Central Midwestern Classic
on Saturday.

The St. Louis U. High
baseball team had another
very up-and-down
week of games, continuing
the trend of their season.
The highlight of the week
was a very important MCC
win versus rival De Smet.
Last Friday, the Jr. Bills
took the field under the
Sheridan Stadium lights
against the Lafayette Lancers.
To match a dominant
four innings of pitching
from senior Parker Guthrie,
SLUH put up two runs
in the first inning off hits
from senior Nick Heinlein
and Henry Zenor and smart
baserunning, then another
one on hits from Guthrie
and freshman Logan Studer.
SLUH closed out the game
with three scoreless innings
of pitching—one from senior
Max Adelman and two
more from junior Drew Figge—for
the 2-0 victory.
“It was a solid win for us
as a team against a very good
team,” said Adelman. “Obviously
our strong pitching
was important but everything
seemed to click.”
On Monday, the Jr. Bills
hoped to extend their winning
streak with a game
against a weaker opponent
in St. Dominic. However,
errors plagued the team as
they allowed six runs, most
of which were scored off of
errors. The team did manage
to put up four runs, highlighted
by multi-hit days
from Guthrie and senior
Owen Fitzgerald, but the Jr.
Bill eventually lost 6-4.
The very next day, the Jr.
Bills hoped to rebound from
their loss with a win against
Jesuit rivals, the De Smet
Spartans. The game was
highlighted by an incredible
pitching performance from
senior Garrett Shearer, who
threw a complete game, allowing
just two unearned
runs. An incredible pitching
outing was exactly what
the Jr. Bills needed, and the
offense showed up as well.
SLUH opened up their
scoring in the third inning
off of two errors by the Spartans
shortstop and a sacrifice
fly from Studer. Despite De
Smet responding in the very
next inning with a run, the
Jr. Bills answered with two
more in the fourth inning on
doubles from Guthrie and
Shearer. SLUH tacked on
four more runs off of several
errors, winning 8-2 and adding
another MCC win.
“That was probably our
best game of the season allaround.
Shout out Bulldog
for a dominant performance
and I think this game will
give us confidence going
forward,” said junior Henry
McDaniels.
Game two of their matchup
versus De Smet didn’t follow
the same trend. Junior
Andrew DuMont provided
a solid pitching performance
for the Jr. Bills as he went
nearly four innings and allowed
just two earned runs.
Senior Michael Baudendistel
and Guthrie both came
in for relief and allowed one
more earned run total over
the next two innings, but the
offense could not match the
performance from the previous
day.
De Smet jumped out to
an early lead in the first inning,
and the Jr. Bills tied it
up in the fourth inning off
singles from Fitzgerald and
Zenor. However, this was the
only run that SLUH could

The St. Louis U. High track
team has been competing
without end over the last
couple of weeks and this last
week was no different. Going
to three different meets last
week, the Varsity Track and
Field team has had no shortage
of competition, with the
spotlight of the week on select
distance runners and sprinters
heading to the University of
Kansas for the annual Kansas
Relays.
During school last Thursday,
ten SLUH Track athletes
traveled to the 100th anniversary
of the Kansas Relays. With
windy weather once again
taking away the opportunity
to race, the Jr. Bills scratched
from many races for safety of
the athletes but still raced to
their best. Junior Ryan Wingo
qualified third into the finals of
the open 100, but due to weather
conditions, he did not race
the final. SLUH also did not
race the 4x400 as the meet was
canceled due to weather before
the event could be competed.
“As a coach, you have to
protect an athlete from themselves,”
said sprinters coach
Alphonso Scott. “And so you
know, we were very much
ready to call it. As a matter of
fact, after they ran the 4x200,
I was ready to scratch them in
the 4x100. But they all rallied
together and they were like,
No, we really want to do this
and they came away with a deserved
win.”
“We go there for the great
competition and there are
teams from all over the Midwest
and you know it was
good to see and kind of test
ourselves,” said head coach Joe
Porter. “Now we know what we
need to do to improve after a
manufacture and they lost
3-2, splitting the series versus
De Smet.
“I think that our pitching
was very solid and we
did have a few hits, but
we couldn’t string any
together,”said junior Ryan

we are able to bounce back
against Vianney next week.”
The Jr. Bills continue
their big week of play tonight
as they face off against
Columbia Hickman at 5:00
p.m. in Sheridan Stadium.
Track and Field rallies against
weather at Kansas and Chaminade
two-day meet like that, to get
ready for the postseason.”
Despite this, there were still
many notable achievements. In
the 110 hurdles, junior Jacobi
Oliphant finished in fifth place
with a 14.81. Although being
seeded 21 in the 4x1600 race,
SLUH pulled away with 10th
overall with an 18:37.7 by way
of seniors Carter Lowe, Tim
Greiner, Nolan Meara, and junior
Anthony Zangara.
In the 4x200, junior Joseph
Harris, Oliphant, sophomore
Matthew Moore, and Wingo
finished second with a 1:29.24,
which is less than two seconds
from the leading 4x200 team
in the state as of now. Then in
the 4x100 relay, Harris, Oliphant,
senior Kam Bailey, and
Wingo were champions of the
meet and set the top time in the
4x100 in the state. Also noted,
this was the first Kansas Relays
champion for SLUH since the
4x1600 in 2010.
This past Saturday, the rest
of SLUH’s squad headed to
Chaminade to compete in the
All Catholic Invitational where
Catholic schools all around the
area competed against each
other.
To start the meet, the 4x800
team raced to first place with
junior Charlie Murray, sophomore
Gus Talleur, sophomore
George Donahue, and freshman
Andrew Freeman with a
time of 8:32.19. With the impending
severe weather that
would later turn into tornadoes
in the afternoon, Murray and
Donahue had less than 30 minutes
in between their 4x800
and mile races, a hard feat to
compete given the fatigue still
heavy in their legs. Despite this,
Donahue (4:44.32) took 4th
and Murray (4:51.94) took 5th.
In the 800, Freeman
(2:06.10) took fourth and Talleur
(2:10.54) took sixth. In the
3200, sophomore Alex Bendaña
(10:12.93) took second just
as the weather was becoming
more humid. In the high jump,
sophomore Dylan Humphrey
took third with a height of 1.60
meters and junior Ben Kean
snagged second with a height
of 3.50 meters. For the throwers,
Tristan Ivory (32.90 meters)
took third in discus and
Cameron Schlueter (33.74 meters)
took fourth. The V2 team
secured thirrd overall still.
Finally, the first meet of the
week was Wednesday where
SLUH welcomed Rockwood
Summit, De Smet Jesuit, CBC,
and Vianney to the home track
for the second JV/C meet of
the season. The JV team had
lots of success in the meet
starting with a first and second
finish in the 4x800 relay,
led by junior Garrett Franks,
sophomore Patrick Jones,
sophomore Gavin Smith, and
junior Charlie Gray with a time
of 9:00.7. Then in the 1600,
Bendaña (4:46.0) and junior
Noah Evers (4:56.0) brought
Varsity level times to take the
top finishing times. Following
their win, Franks won the 400
in an astonishing 54.5 and senior
Lucas Rammacher in the
800 with a 2:13.4. Then, in the
3200 race, Smith (10:28.5) won
the race and led five other racers
to a top 10 finish.
This Saturday the Jr. Bills
will be competing at the Ladue
Brusca-Strohbach Invitational
with some of the top teams in
the area. Next week the team
has another crazy week of three
meets. Starting with the V2
squad at the Jim Farrell invite,
the JV/C squad will head to
De Smet. To end on Saturday,
April, 29 the varsity squad will
end its regular season at the
Dale Collier Invitational at
Kirkwood for the same crazy
competition before the conference
meet.

Water Polo’s eight game
win streak comes to a halt
Volleyball tops CBC; struggles in
Chicago tournament and against
Belleville East
BY Andrew Hunt and
Will Blaisdell
Core Staff
The St. Louis U. High volleyball
team squared off
against the CBC Cadets in a
frustrating match for the varsity
team. The Jr. Bills walked
in confident after a successful
match against Vianney, most
notably for juniors Jack Krausz
and Miles Rittenhouse. The
team tried to be more consistent
on all offensive fronts.
“It’s really an emphasis for
the whole team, but for me
especially, a goal this season
has been finding deep corners
when I attack,” said Rittenhouse.
“I also think we have
found our chemistry with our
setters. We have been able to
increase our offensive presence
because of that.”
Through most of the first
set, senior setter Henry Azar
utilized senior middles Victor
Lazzaretti and David Hunt to
create the potential for solo
blocking scenarios for Krausz
and Rittenhouse. The Jr. Bills
thus led most of the set by a
three point margin. However,
the Cadets began to rally back
late in the set, closing the 21-
17 gap to an even 22-22 with
some attacking errors from
SLUH and some admirable offense
from CBC. The set was
even until Rittenhouse and senior
Will Blaisdell closed out
the set with an off speed tool
and serving ace, respectively,
for the 30-28 SLUH win.
The second set began well
for the Jr. Bills, with junior
Daniel Mehan going on a fivepoint
serving run, assisted by a
kill from Krausz, putting the Jr.
Bills up 6-2. SLUH was dominant
for the entirety of the set
which they took 25-18 after a
bounce from Lazzaretti and an
opposing missed serve.
However, things took a
turn in the third set. Rittenhouse
made a great crosscourt
shot from the back row
to secure a point for the Jr.
Bills, but it was immediately
stalled by a serving error.
Krausz and Hunt achieved
a block kill, but quickly gave
it up through missed timing.
The score was now 3-3, and the
Jr. Bills got into a jam. CBC senior
Josh Plessner went behind
the serving line and served five
strong balls, putting SLUH out
of system, scoring aces, and
forcing attacking errors to give
the Cadets a an 8-3 lead.
The Jr. Bills tried to battle
back, but serving errors and
defensive issues led to a 25-21
set loss.
“It was a rough game, and
sometimes it can be hard adjusting
to surroundings,” said
head coach Jeff Cheak. “We
were trying to be aggressive,
but couldn’t find the right
rhythm.”
The Jr. Bills bounced back
in the fourth set. Some early
attacking mistakes left them
down a couple points, but they
hung with CBC through the
set. Blaisdell and Rittenhouse
pulled out the stops, tying up
the match 20-20, and the team
secured more “ridiculous” defensive
touches on the ball and
ended the fourth set with a kill
from Jack Krausz, winning 25-
23.
Over the weekend, SLUH
travelled to a tournament in
the Warrenville School District
of Chicago, Ill.
The Jr. Bills showed St.
Louis volleyball, beating Lake
Park High School 25-22 in the
first set, and 25-18 in the second.
The next game, the Bills
faced off against Minooka
High School, winning the first
set in a tremendous 25-10, and
snagging the second 25-19.
But the second day was
not as fortunate. The Jr. Bills
lost three consecutive matches,
against Glen North High,
Plainfield North High, and
St. Rita High. The first two
matches were lost in two sets,
and the third went to a third
set, but the Jr. Bills lost to finish
last in the gold bracket.
“Those days were mentally
tough days for our team,”
says Cheak. “It takes a lot of
discipline to go into an outof-town
tournament and play
our best while executing properly
under unique and strange
circumstances, but we intend
to learn from these mental errors.”
The Jr. Bills headed next
to Belleville East. The team
walked out on the court fairly
confident in their ability to
play against the Belleville
Lancers, but it was a slap in
the face when SLUH was down
9-4 due to some fundamental
mistakes and sporadic plays.
The Jr. Bills had a hard time
fighting back, making numerous
offensive errors and tallying
up a couple of missed
serves, setting the score at an
uncomfortable 16-9. The Jr.
Bills gained three points from
some pick up shots and kills
by Blaisdell and Krausz, but
hesitant defense created an
opening for the Lancers.
“I think we walked on to
the court expecting to win,”
said Azar. “We weren’t motivated,
and when we stepped on
the court, we fell flat-footed.”
Krausz racked up some
kills to close the margin for
the Jr. Bills to 24-23. However,
Belleville senior Jered Conway
came down hard with a swipe
from the middle, getting past
the defensive line and closing
the set.
Senior Brooklyn Hollander
opened the second set
well with a finely placed hand
pass, allowing Blaisedell to hit
a deep swing and gain the first
point. But SLUH still couldn’t
get past their defensive inconsistencies,
falling behind 11-8.
Rittenhouse was able to turn
it back around with a forced
block off a bad pass from the
Lancers.
The Lancers held their
lead for most of the set, but
only by a two-point margin,
which SLUH closed to tie the
game at 19. A serving ace from
Azar and an overpass kill from
Krausz put the Jr. Bills up by
two. Belleville pulled ahead
25-24, however, and the lost
the match due to an attacking
error which was called as a lift.
“I think we were all nervous
and tense after the first
set because of the environment,”
said senior Chandler
Flowers. “The other team just
showed more energy. We let
balls drop that we could’ve
gotten to, and we weren’t running
our middles as much
this game. We picked it up
in the latter half, but we need
to come out the gate with the
same energy we put out so that
we can actually start up.”
The team will try to regroup
today at 4:00 p.m. at the
Parkway Central Tournament.

This past week has been a
busy one for the St. Louis
U. High Water Polo team,
which faced a week-long
gauntlet of seven games in
seven days. Even though their
record through that stretch
was 5-2, the players still hope
to sharpen their skills as they
prepare for State.
With a four-game win
streak in their back pocket,
the Jr. Bills took to the pool
April 13 against Lindbergh.
Filled with Easter spirit, they
started the week off strong,
winning 11-6 with goals from
senior Brandon Harris (3), junior
Aidan Brawer (2), junior
Tommy Riley (2), Joe Zarrilli
(2), sophomore Evan Zimmerman,
and sophomore Luke
Gill. Junior Josh Neimann
played all 24 minutes in goal
and racked up 4 saves.
The Jr. Bills couldn’t relax
for long though, with their
next big game beginning just
two and a half hours later
against the De Smet Jesuit
Spartans. Going into the game
already a little tired, the Jr. Bills
would have to be on their A-
game; and on their A-game
they were. Through strength
and perseverance, SLUH absolutely
crushed the competition,
winning 15-4 against the
Spartans. Niermann saved
two shots over the 24 minutes
while freshman Nicholas Zimmerman
led all scorers with
four goals.
The final game of the De
Smet Invitational was against
St. Xavier (Ohio), another
rival Jesuit school. The teams
clashed hard in the water but
SLUH came out on top, 16-4.
Riley, Zarrilli, and junior Joe
Craft led the way with three
goals apiece.
The Jr. Bills’ next opponent
was Fenwick High (Ill.),
at Kirkwood High School.
While the win streak looks
good on paper, the Jr. Bills
seemed to be caught off guard
in the game against Fenwick.
Even with struggles, the team
pulled through in a narrow
15-13 come-from-behind victory.
Niermann came in clutch
with six saves while Zarrilli led
scorers with five goals.
“The eight-game winning
streak was really good for our
team, the win against Parkway
Central, the number one team
in the state, was crucial,” said
Zimmerman.
Hours later, SLUH faced
off against Whitney Young
(Ill.) where they finally met
their match after the eightgame
winning streak. The two
teams played hard, both giving
it their all in their effort to win,
especially the drive from varsity
to continue the streak. As
the game went into overtime
and both teams were getting
tired, the streak was finally
cut short by Whitney Young,
as the Jr. Bills lost 11-10.
“You could see our fatigue
set in against Whitney Young,”
said Zarilli. “We were on the
back foot most of the game
and we just couldn’t put it together.”
“Every game we are told
to try our best and don’t stop
swimming. When we all attain
that resilience and act that way
in games, our team won’t lose
again,” said junior Henry Molner.
This past Monday, the Jr.
Bills took on the Kirkwood
Pioneers. Saddened by the
previous loss and the ending
Joe Zarrilli shooting on goal against Lindbergh.
Brendan Schroeder looks for a teamate against Lindbergh.
of their eight-game win streak,
the team came out slow and
struggled to gain any offensive
momentum. Though the
Jr. Bills gave it their all, they
were bested in another close
loss, 10-9.
“We weren’t playing well
together,” said Zarilli. “Nothing
was clicking on defense or
on offense.”
This past Wednesday,
SLUH took to the pool for a
matchup against Ladue. Coming
off back-to-back one-goal
losses, the team hoped to reverse
the tide and get on the
right side of the scoresheet.
The Jr. Bills came out hot and
played their style of water polo
throughout, earning a 15-3
victory.
“After losing those two
games we had to rethink some
game strategies. I think one
reason we lost those games
was because we just had a long
week and weren’t playing up
to the level that we are capable
of,” claimed Molner.
Niermann played in goal
throughout and racked up
five saves on the night. Harris
led the goal-scoring effort with
five while Evan Zimmerman
(3), Nicholas Zimmerman (2),
Zarrilli (2), junior Andrew
Riley, Brawer (1), and junior
Jack Hulsen (1) all got on the
scoreboard as well.
“The team plays alright
together. There aren’t many
games where we look like a
completely united team, but
in those games, we seem unbeatable,”
said sophomore
Evan Zimmerman.
The water polo squad took
on Parkway West last night in
the Lindbergh Invitational.
The full match will be reported
on in the next edition of the
Prep News.

Juniors take ACT
This past Tuesday, all juniors were given the opportunity to
take the ACT at SLUH. Because the ACT is a fundamental part
of college admissions, the college counseling team has worked
hard to give every student easy access to taking the test. Shockingly,
each and every member of the junior class student showed
up on time, in the correct place, with the supplies they needed,
which certainly brings a touch of optimism to the class’s upcoming
assumption of school leadership positions.

Pollard cites Jesuit ideals for career success
(continued from page 1)
SLUH nearly six decades ago,
Pollard has enjoyed a successful
career as an attorney and judge,
working in both the private and
public sectors. Following his
time at SLUH, Pollard attended
Washington University, from
where he graduated in 1970, and
subsequently Columbia University,
where he received his law
degree in 1974.
Throughout his decadeslong
career, Pollard worked as
an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the
Southern District of New York,
where he worked to prosecute
criminals in New York City. In
over a decade working in the

Southern District, Pollard often
found himself applying the
Jesuit values instilled within him
during his time at SLUH.
“I served as a prosecutor in
the US Attorney’s Office in the
Southern District of New York,
and that’s a job about doing the
right thing,” said Pollard. “When
you come out of the tradition
of this school, you understand
what it is to do the right thing.
And as I tell folks, it was a job
every day where you got up,
you went to work to do the right
thing. The guiding point about
that is the values that I learned
in high school.”
In 2012, Pollard experienced
another career highlight,
where he was appointed by
then-President Barack Obama
to serve as a judge on the United
States Court of Military Commission
Review.
Pollard expressed a deep
gratitude towards his education
for helping propel him to these
achievements.
“Values that I took from the
school—intellectual excellence,
striving to be the best you can
be, the friendships you make,
the learning inside and outside
the classroom—all of these have
made me what I am,” said Pollard.
“I tell people freely, with
the values I learned growing up

here in St. Louis, and my experience
at the high school, and at
Washington University—my
life wouldn’t have been the same
without any one of those things.”
As for the Backer Award
itself, Pollard expressed further
appreciation towards SLUH for
bestowing it upon him.
Said Pollard, “The school
means a lot to me. It was very
important to me in my formative
years, and to be recognized
by the high school is a true honor.
Listening to Mr. Carruthers
talk about me, and looking at
the video, it just made me very
humble. It’s a great honor, it
truly is.”
Rising Juniors elect StuCo class officers
(continued from page 1)
accompanied by his slogan
“Your voice matters! Your
opinion matters! You matter!”
Rallying a boisterous crowd of
supporters, Hatch was able to
win the election by campaigning
for the unheard.
“I believe that my speech
gave a more direct look at
what I actually want to accomplish,
and what I can offer
to my class,” said Hatch.
“Plenty of people already
knew me, but I believe that
they might’ve painted a different
picture in their mind,
and the speech gave an insight
to who I really am.”
The two StuCo leaders
will help to orchestrate and
lead the current sophomore
class through the junior year,
selecting the class motto, and
choosing the class banner,
along with many other important
roles.
“Junior year is a big year,”
said StuCo co-moderator Megan
Menne. “It’s mainly because
that’s when you become
upperclassmen. They’ve got
their academics going a little
bit harder, they have to start
thinking about the future, and
have to make all of these other
decisions, so there’s a kind of a
big responsibility there.”
“Junior year is a pretty
formative and impactful year,”
said StuCo co-moderator Stephen
Deves. “One of the main
reasons for that, I think, is because
you see a lot of growth
and friendships and community
as students get more
mature and more comfortable
with each other, so there’s a lot
of opportunity during junior
year for their class leaders to
have a real impact.”
Both moderators feel that
Reh and Hatch will successfully
be able to employ these
important responsibilities into
junior year.
“I believe that Jack and
Chase will bring a different
type of energy to StuCo,” said
Deves. “I think they have a
different set of skills that will
complement each other well
for next year.”
Additionally, the two have
already made plans to further
enhance junior year with new
activities and events to take
place throughout the school
year, such as Junior Sports
Nights, more one-on-one input
from clubs, a mixer during
the springtime, possible
English and Social Studies
labs, and more involvement
in intramural activities.
“Chase and I have some
ideas for next year that we
can work out,” said Reh. “We
are just working on helping to
create the best possible junior
year that we can in StuCo.”
“I liked the promises that
Chase made in his speech,”
said sophomore Calvin Stewart.
“I thought Chase’s speech
was very convincing,” said
sophomore Sean Cajigal. “I
feel that it represented me the
most.”
“I’m excited and optimistic
for next year’s junior leaders,”
said sophomore JJ Jones.
“I think that Jack and
Chase will be great on StuCo
next year,” said current sophomore
Vice President Ronan
Smith. “Jack brings a lot to the
table because he is really involved
and really wants to give
himself to the SLUH community.
Chase is also really
enthusiastic about SLUH and
will hopefully be able to help
make changes to our school.”
Now that the junior class
has elected its President and
Vice President, the multiple
auxiliary positions will soon
become available to any rising
junior wanting to apply
to StuCo.
