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

“I liked the passion in the

showed the connection between

the candidates and the

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.”

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

he encouraged me to pursue

higher studies in Irish literature

in grad school.”

(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

AMDG

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

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.

some students.

themselves in a glaringly

different way than anyone

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.”

SPORTS

ON TO STATE

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.

BY Drew Figge

Core Staff

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

BY Lucas Rammacher and

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.

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.

Sports Editor, reporter

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.
