FLOCK MAKES MARIAN SERVICE TRADITION INTERNATIONALJim Flock ’96 Peace CorpFlock Family in Kenya“And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.”— President John F. KennedyOne of the most famous Presidential quotes in the history of theUnited States and one which has encouraged over 190,000 Americansto serve their country by joining the Peace Corps over the last fortyplus years. Jim Flock ’96 is one of a growing number of volunteers.After graduating from Marian, Jim went to John Carroll College wherehis education and service-minded attitude continued. He worked forProgressive Insurance and was very comfortable in his life, save for onething. He knew in his heart that he was meant to serve those lessfortunate, and then did something about it. For the last two years, Jimhas been in Chebunyo, Kenya, a small village five hours’ drive on dirtroads outside of Nairobi.Chebunyo has no services. No running water. No electricity. Jim’srole as a Peace Corps volunteer has been multi-faceted. As a GLOW(Girls Leading Our World) participant, Jim facilitated helpinghundreds of young women in leadership, rape counseling andrelationship counseling. These young women then returned to theirvillages to share their knowledge with other young women. Heprovided AIDS education to the village, has facilitated and coordinatedthe replanting of vegetation, has written and petitioned forinfrastructure improvements, and has even set up a savings and loan inthe village. Likely his most enduring innovation is the establishment ofa farming co-operative where farmers were taught how to plant hybridcorn, then harvest and sell their crops directly to private sectorcompanies as opposed to selling it to brokers and other middle-menwho did so for a fee. He did the same with the area’s dairy farmers.Much of this was accomplished through the United States Agency forInternational Development (USAID). Chebunyo and somesurrounding villages were funded through a local NGO calledACDI/VOCA which does most of the international policy work inregards to development and humanitarian efforts.Just before leaving Kenya, Jim helped build a structure which keepsthe corn and milk crops separated, as designated by government rules,and helped plant between 800 to 1,000 tree seedlings in and aroundthe village. Now home, Jim plans to spend some time travelingthroughout the United States, visiting family and friends. Eventually,he will return to Utah and quite possibly Progressive Insurance. A master’sdegree may be on the horizon as well.Tremendous Tribute Paid to U.S. Vets Through Denton's TalentsSandra Denton ’09 at Veteran’s Day ServiceAs Catholics, we often hear the phrase “Time, Talent and Treasure.” Marian juniorSandra Denton is a young woman who has unflinchingly given her time and talent forher community. A resident of Country Club Hills, and a member of the multi-awardwinning Marian Catholic Marching Band, Sandra has volunteered her time and musicalabilities to play for Memorial Day services and Veteran’s Day services since she was afreshman.

TheSpartans also brought home impressive thirdplacefinishes from the prestigious BadgerTournament in Stoughton, Wisconsin andthe Geneseo Invitational.“The kids are really coming together as ateam,” Gilbert said of his recipe for success.“We’ve been building the last two years, andthis year the camaraderie is there and theleadership is stronger. The kids are reallygiving it to each other, providing acompetitive atmosphere from wrestling torunning sprints.”While the early-season numbers lookfantastic, the real target remains the postseason,where Marian will look for moreIHSA tournament success in the ShepardIndividual Sectional and Sandburg TeamSectional.“The goal is to get to the point of winningconference and regional titles, and getting tostate as a team,” an energetic Gilbertexplained. “What we’ve done here so far isnice, but we came here to win state titles.”Meanwhile, Marian continues to have goodnews on the hardcourt during the wintercampaign.The girls basketball squad advanced to itsseventh consecutive Hillcrest Holiday Classictitle contest before settling for a second-placefinish to ESCC rival Marist.

Meanwhile, Marian Catholicstudents show a 10 percent experimentation rate prior tograduation. With that differential, why mandate drug testing forthe entire student body at the beginning of the 2008-09 schoolyear?“I have my own conflicted feelings about testing most of ourkids who have made great choices, but this can be a tool forprevention and intervention,” notes MCHS President Sr. M.Paul McCaughey.With regard to the type of test, parents at meetings werecomfortable with the hair sample approach after a presentationby Bill Dausey of Psychomedics Corporate Testing. Parentalconcerns, however, included the cost factor for a generallydrug-free community and school and parental responsibilities.“Youngsters today are growing up in an increasinglycomplicated society,” according to Advisory Board member andsophomore parent Vince Krydynski ’81. “What was taboo whenI was in high school is now the common themes in musicvideos, television, the Internet and tabloids. The popular imagestoday tend to pull kids away from the values responsible parentsare working so hard to instill.“Marian is taking a leadership role in helping students andfamilies navigate the difficult waters of teen drug use/prevention.The drug-testing program gives me, as a parent, comfortknowing that Marian Catholic actively supports my decision tokeep my daughter free from drugs. It gives my daughter anotherreason to say “No.” It provides early intervention andcounseling in a safe environment for any student struggling withdrug use. This is another example of Marian Catholic HighSchool working with parents to instill positive influences in thelives of young adults and enforcing the values and beliefs wehave in our homes.”Marian Catholic has recently introduced a copyrightedLeadership Program to benefit all students. Having each studentlive a drug-free life is a part of that program.“Marian is aware that students are faced with a culture ofdrugs and alcohol from the media and society,” Marian PrincipalSr. Kathleen Anne Tait explained. “Often that makes it moredifficult for students to be proud of being drug free. A testingprogram, as well as concepts of our Leadership Program, helpsdiffuse the culture outside and supports the pride students cantake in positive choices.” Sr. Kathleen Anne also led the studentinformation sessions about the testing program.Marian’s published materials to be made available prior tostudent registration for 2008-2009, detail the process, includingmethod, confidentiality notification, referral format and retestingpolicy.9

James and Anita Jacksonto and was part of continuing Marian’sreputation of academic and athletic excellence.In the classroom, my teachers prepared me forthe rigorous demands of college and theworkplace, and what I learned from my coachesand athletics was the vision to set my sights ona goal and the discipline and persistence toachieve my dreams.”James and Anita Jackson, Spirit of MarianJames and Anita Jackson are extremely pleasedwith the foundation four of their childrengained from Marian Catholic, as it fits right inthe example they set as Marian parents.Extremely involved with the Athletic BoosterClub and Mothers Club, the Jackson’s providedbrilliant insight and support to both groupsduring their formative years.“Marian Catholic reinforced the basicprinciples we conveyed to our children,” saidAnita Jackson, who watched James ’87, Marta’91, Edward ’93 and April (Wayne) ’93graduate from Marian. “It helped keep themgrounded in faith and emphasized the value andrewards of fair play, perseverance and loyalty.”Jim’s strong support for the Boosters and forthe track and football teams was memorable.“Jim and Anita were interested participants inmany of the organizing activities that set thedirection of MCHS for the 90’s and into themillennium,” Athletic Director Dave Mattio’66 praised. “Volunteerism, participation andownership were a constant thread with theircommitment to MCHS. The recognition istruly deserved.”In the meantime, Anita made her mark on theMothers Club, creating manuals still used todayas models for Mothers Club events, and leadingas club president with a gracious inclusion.Later, as a Marian Catholic High School Boardmember, Anita participated in the Long-Rangeplan and Partnership 2000, which eventually leftMarian with its West Gym and Band Room.The owners of DeSoto LLC (manufacturingand processing of specialty chemicals) set anearly example at Marian for a cooperation ofstudents, faculty and parents within theDominican tradition. When the DeSoto plantmoved, the Jackson’s gifted office furniture toMarian. “It was the first ‘new’ furniture in yearsand the first conference room furniture we everhad,” recalled President Sr. M. PaulMcCaughey ’67. "We were thrilled and, withgood stewardship, much of it is still in use.”Jim and Anita Jackson typify the spirit ofJoe Deemany Marian parents and, for them, Marianreturned the favor. In their words, "Marianprovided a solid atmosphere that supportedparental involvement in the educationalprocess."Joe Dee, Lifetime Achievement AwardWhile Joe Dee has never carried the monikerof “teacher,” his involvement as coach,administrator, volunteer, chairperson, fatherand grandfather have made him a teacher tohundreds, perhaps thousands.Following his son, Jim, into the Marian Hallof Fame (Spirit of Marian, 2002), Dee has beencoaching, officiating and organizing for otherpeople virtually since his playing days ended atThornton Junior College (football) and theUniversity of Illinois (baseball). Along with wifeof 46 years, Bernice, Dee has sent sons Jim ’80,Tom ’81, Tim ’85 and John ’88 throughMarian. Grandson Matt ’07 began the nextgeneration at Marian, followed by Meaghan ’09and more of his 13 grandchildren are on theway.“Marian has played a big part in raising ourfour sons,” explained Dee, a former MarianBooster Club officer. “I am proud to say theyare good husbands and fathers, and are allinvolved in their churches and communities. Ittakes more than being a parent to raise a childand Marian definitely has been a big influencein their development.“The impact that Marian has is evident to meevery day by its graduates. The Christian valuesthey have learned here help them become goodleaders at home, at work, as well as in thecommunity.”Primarily through the involvement of his sons,Joe Dee has coached at St. Joseph and St. Agnesin Chicago Heights, Olympia Terrace, theChicago Heights Park District, CatholicGrammar School football and Small FryBasketball. A Eucharistic Minister for 39 years,Joe has also been an Illinois High SchoolAssociation official for 24 years in three sports,working state championship football games in2004 and 2007 and basketball in 2008.“I am honored and surprised to receive thishonor, because what I have done in my life is justwhat I was taught growing up,” Dee said. “That’sto use the gifts I’ve been given to help others.Having gone through 12 years of Catholiceducation, I learned that volunteering was veryimportant. To receive this honor from such aprestigious institution as Marian is humbling.”11MARK YOUR CALENDARMetroAlumni& FriendsJune 20085:30 pm – 8:30 pmAlums, Alumni Parents, CurrentParents and Marian Friends InvitedUpdates will be on our website atwww.marianchs.com or for moreinformation contact Carol BurkeSwanson ’81 at (708-756-9775 orcswanson@marianchs.com).8 TH GRADE SCHOLARSEach year, Marian Catholic ranksamong the best in Chicago’sSouthland for AP Scholars, NationalMerit recognition and Illinois StateScholars.

Our phonathoners haveraised over $60,000 in pledges, connecting with over 10,000 parents and alumni. Friends of Marian Catholic may pledge or gift thePhonathon through the secure website link at https://www.marianchs.com/advancement/checkout/advancement_form.aspx.The Phonathon portion of the Marian Annual Fund this year is earmarked to help support the entire school operation, especially theSr. Simeon Fund (student tuition aid) for those with emergency issues and verified need, the implementation of pilot distance learningcourses, and adoption of Computer Assisted Design in the graphic design courses. This popular event, coordinated by Peg Massucci ofthe Advancement Office, is co-chaired by current and alumni parents Sue Dawson and Nancy and Tim Hathhorn.Phonathon volunteers return year after year, some even long after their student has graduated. Massucci said, “We’ve had more alumniparents than current parents on our Phonathon Committee. We get calls from alumni parents to say they hadn’t been contacted toparticipate as phonathoners. Needless to say, we sign them up! In fact, this year, after seeing an article about the Phonathon in MarianMatters, an alumni parent whose son graduated in 1988...yes, ’88…emailed to say she’d like to help as a Phonathoner.“We are blessed to have people like this at Marian Catholic: parents who, even after 20 years out, still give of themselves. MCHSparents are quick to step up when called upon because they simply want to do whatever they can to help. The best part about being aPhonathoner is that you can do a tremendous amount of service and good just by giving a few hours of time.”It’s been said that “friend-raising" and fun are major factors that make this Marian Catholic hallmark the popular volunteer phenomenait is each year. If you have any questions or comments, or if you would like to help with next year´s Phonathon, please contact PegMassucci (708-756-9427or pmassucci@marianchs.com).Thank you to all in the Marian Catholic community for your generosity and your continued commitment to excellence.ZARANTONELLO’S ‘PARISH TWINNING’ PROVIDES HAITI RELIEFJoe Zarantonello ’67 has lived in Bardstown, Kentucky for 25 yearsand taught at St. Joseph Catholic School for nearly all of that time.During his tenure, a program called “Parish Twinning” came to bewhere the St. Joseph parish was matched with St. Francis Xavier parishin Akil Samdi, Haiti. Akil Samdi in the native Creole language, looselytranslates to “dead-end in a graveyard,” which accurately depicts life inthe mountain village with no running water, no electricity and nomedical facilities. About 20 years ago, students at St. Joseph began anAdvent penny drive, collecting about 65,000 pennies (or about $650)and sent it to help the children of Akil Samdi. Over the years theamounts increased and this past Advent Fund Drive for Haiti raisedjust over $19,000. Joe said that because of the very generous contributionsboth on-line and through the parish, every student at the gradeschool in Akil Samdi will be fed for a year. There is even enough leftto extend help to the children in the pre-school program as well. Forsome of these children, this is their only meal of the day, and many ofthem must walk for hours just to attend school. The money raised alsogoes toward paying the salaries of the teachers at the school–about$50 per month. $25 will feed a child for a year.Joe and his daughter Elizabeth, along with another high school girland her father, took suitcases filled with pediatric medicines to Haitiat the end of January. They witnessed first-hand all the good thedonations have done and will continue to do and Joe showed his slidesto MCHS classes during Lenten Mission Week.
