As we meet the needs of a changing world, our tradition of building continues. We are currently in process of relocating our Library to expanded space on the second floor. The Library has a new location but it will continue to be the heart of the school. Our new space is transformative, welcoming and designed for student learning. Featuring plenty of natural light and a view of the back yard, the future-ready environment allows students to work collaboratively in dynamic space that is accessible to all and ready to support whole classes, small groups and single users. All furnishings are mobile and the area is equipped not only for current technological advances but it is designed to meet future innovations. It is essential for college and life preparation that students interact with a collection of the highest quality resources in all formats: reference and nonfiction books, databases, internet-based resources and e-books, which are all available to our students. Today, it is critical that students are taught proper research strategies, recognize bias and receive training in the use of all research formats. Our teachers are provided with a professional collection and an area to work with librarians to plan and execute lessons. Quiet areas of the new space provide sanctuary for our students, a space to reflect and enjoy personal reading. The Library’s instructional program continues to provide specific research components at every grade level and supports our college-prep curriculum.

Our Formation Center has been relocated. The Formation Center is designated for tutoring and assistance to students who need academic help before school, during their unstructured periods and/or after school. Students come to the lab voluntarily or as required by teachers. Teachers and honor students are available to provide any necessary help.

The Brother Martin College Run was back on the road again this year! On the trip were 29 rising juniors and seniors who joined Brad Duplechain, Matt Lambert ’98 and Chris Vicknair as they visited various public, private and Catholic colleges and universities across the United States. Hayden Courregé ’18 stated that “the college run gives students the opportunity to tour colleges throughout different parts of the country and learn about the admissions process through interactive information sessions and student led tours. The trip does not only comprise of college touring, but fun events like a Cubs game and white water rafting.” Their adventure began by taking a stroll along Beale St., which is the heart of Memphis music, and then by visiting some historical sites such as the Lorraine Motel, which is the site of Martin Luther King’s assassination. Their first college visit was Ole Miss where they made time to take a photo for their Admissions Department. The group then visited Rhodes College in Memphis and took their trip to new heights as they toured the top of the Arch of St. Louis. At St. Louis University,

students were greeted by fellow Crusader Alumnus Brad Giacone ’14 who led them on a tour of the university. There was no rest for these Crusaders as they embarked on more fun at Six Flags followed by a meal at Pappy’s BBQ.

Having a little downtime, the Crusaders headed to Chicago. In the ‘Windy City, Crusaders stopped for some Chicago-style pizza at Giordano’s Pizza before heading over to Navy Pier to take a boat tour of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. They even had time to watch a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. However, it was back to business as the Crusaders headed to the University of Chicago where they experienced a student led tour hosted by Crusader Alumnus Mason Williams ’15.

Then, the students spent time on the campus of Northwestern University. Joseph Bordelon ’18 commented that “the College Run really helped me broaden my horizons for the future and it showed me that there was more than just staying in state for college. It was also a great bonding experience as I got to meet new people who I wouldn’t have ever had the opportunity to talk with.” The remainder of the trip was spent at University of Notre Dame, University of Kentucky, Vanderbilt University and University of Alabama.

Brother Martin welcomed just over 100 alumni and their families back to campus for its 4th Annual Legacy Family Night in mid-October. This annual event is sponsored by both the Admissions and Alumni Offices.

The official welcome for the evening came from Carlos Bogran ’99, Director of Admissions, and Scott Corrente ’83, Director of Alumni, as well as a number of students, administrators, faculty and staff members.

Attendees enjoyed the opportunity to tour the campus at their own pace while sharing stories of their high school days as Crusader students. Spouses and children even enjoyed a Wednesday favorite on Elysian Fields with those famous ‘crispitos’ served by Food Services. The Bookstore was also open for families to purchase gear in their favorite colors of ‘crimson & gold.’

Ryan Roux ’91 said, “This is the second year that we’ve brought the boys to Family Legacy Night; they are three and four years old. They love that we can walk around campus and see the things

that they like the most. When the boys were asked what they liked most about visiting Brother Martin, they replied “everything!”

Last May, Brother Martin hosted their annual Crusaders’ Miracle Weekend to benefit the Miracle League of GNO. Guests of Brother Martin and the Miracle League ‘hit it out the ballpark’ with a fun-

filled day of activities for participants. The event also included a baseball clinic for players from the Miracle League and a split squad game on E.A. Farley Field featuring Brother Martin’s cheerleaders, students, athletic teams and all-stars from the Miracle League. These games were designed to give disabled youth an opportunity to compete alongside high school players and learn different aspects of the game. This year’s event also featured several auction items and games of chance with all proceeds going to support this great cause.

“The Miracle League’s mission is to provide any disabled child, regardless of their level of disability,

the opportunity to play league sports and enjoy the emotional and physical benefits of being part of a team sport.” Miracle League.

Imagine a man with a Ph.D. in Elementary Particle Physics coaching 11- and 12-year olds in football and baseball for 15 years – and not considering it beneath his dignity but instead enjoying every minute of it.Imagine a man who worked at the Atomic Energy Commission at the highest level of scientific research sitting with an 8th- or 9th-grade boy tutoring him in Algebra I. And asking for no compensation except the joy of helping a student learn.But of course, we don’t have to imagine such a man, for we have had the privilege of knowing Ray Fricken. After graduating from St. Aloysius in 1955, Ray earned a B.S. at Loyola before going to LSU, where he earned a Ph.D. in Elementary Particle Physics thanks in part to a National Science Foundation (NSF) Fellowship.He joined a research group at LSU that was part of a national consortium of eight universities with headquarters at the University of Chicago, where Enrico Fermi built the first atomic pile in 1942, pioneering work that led to the first atomic bomb three years later.With a military obligation he still had to fulfill because of his ROTC commitment at Loyola, Ray attended officers training for eight weeks before being assigned to work at the Research Division of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in Maryland. He would spend 30 years at the AEC and its successor, the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA).Ray participated in some of the most important scientific research of the 20th century.One of his first assignments put him on the site selection committee for the National Accelerator Laboratory (now known as Fermilab), which was built in Batavia IL. Two major components of the Standard Model of Fundamental Particles and Forces have been discovered at Fermilab: the bottom quark (1977) and the top quark (1995). In 2000, Fermilab experimenters announced the first direct observation of the tau neutrino, the last fundamental particle to be observed. Another project he worked on was an addition to the linear accelerator at Stanford University.The biggest project, and the one that gave him the most pride, was the construction of a Superconducting Super Collider in Texas. If completed, the collider would have been the largest and most energetic in the world. However, Congress, looking to trim the Federal budget, cancelled the project in 1993 after $2.5 billion had been spent. Burnt out from years of fighting the political appointees who oversaw scientific research projects, Ray retired after that setback. Originally, scientists ran AEC. But that changed with ERDA. “Political appointments drifted lower in the organization,” he explained. “I didn’t like it. I had several opportunities to move into senior executive positions, but I didn’t

want to deal with the politics.”He always intended to move back home to New Orleans someday, but his mother’s stroke accelerated his plans. Enjoying a handsome retirement income from the Federal government and not one to tolerate idleness, Ray wanted to stay active. “I was looking for something productive,” he explained, “but I wasn’t interested in full-time employment.”Ray had worked with youth for 15 years in Maryland

when he coached 11-12-year olds in football and baseball. Recalling his education by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart at St. Aloysius, Ray volunteered in the Instructional Lab at Brother Martin in the fall of ’93. It didn’t take long for the faculty to utilize his talents in many other ways as well. Let’s use our imaginations again. Imagine an award-winning physics teacher of long standing who poured his heart and mind into his classes and shepherded his students like a hen does her chicks. Now imagine that teacher asking someone else to help him develop an Advanced Placement Physics course. Again, we don’t have to imagine such a teacher because we knew Brother Maurus. It’s perhaps the highest tribute I can pay to Ray that Maurus respected him so much that he even let his Aloysius ’55 classmate take over the class for certain topics. Ray also assisted Nancy Autin and Barbara Stott in teaching Advanced Placement Calculus. After Maurus’s retirement, Ray worked with Mary Picou on Physics AP. “I’ve been able to do what I enjoy,” he said, “teaching physics and math without being burdened with all the nuisances that go along with being a teacher.”Ray not only enriched the education of Brother Martin students for 23 years, he also made significant financial donations to the school. The Brother Martin Board of Directors recognized his role in making the school better by awarding him the Founders Medal in 2001.Now imagine another Ph.D. on the faculty who crossed paths too infrequently with Ray over the years. Imagine what the two Ph.D.’s talked about when they had the chance. Teaching mathematics or science a new way? Using computers to enhance instruction? No, they talked about the baseball pennant races or the current sport of their alma mater, LSU. Ray analyzed the LSU offense with as much skill as he analyzed the interaction of atomic particles at Fermi Lab. Ray greeted everyone with a smile even when declining health slowed him down. He was unfailingly gracious and even-tempered. Even faculty members who did not know him that well have commented on his kindness. Oh, he might at times have expressed frustration with students who didn’t make the effort to succeed. Who hasn’t? But I never saw him angry - except maybe at Les Miles for his clock mismanagement.“No man stands so tall as when he stoops to held a child.” Those words of Danny Thomas certainly applied to Ray. It takes great patience to tutor students. It also takes great love, and Ray possessed those two virtues in abundance.We cannot replace Ray Fricken. But we can try, each in our own way, to express our love for students the way he expressed his.

The 1937-38 St. Aloysius Crusaders, who had been the Crimson Crusaders instead of the Purple and Gold Panthers for one year, celebrated their first year in a new gymnasium by defending the second prep championship in school history.

St. Aloysius joined the Prep School Basketball League in 1910 but didn’t win the city championship until 1919. Then another title drought continued until 1936-37 when Sam “Monk” Zelden, in his fourth year as coach, capitalized on the luxury of having five returning regulars to top perennial powerhouses Warren Easton and Jesuit for the crown. The accomplishment was all the more impressive because Aloysius had no gym in which to practice after the burning of the Young Men’s Hebrew Association building near Lee Circle.

The New Orleans championship earned Aloysius its first trip to the state tournament at LSU, where all teams played in one tournament. The Crusaders, still often called the “Panthers” even by The Aloysian, won their first two games over Marthaville 36-20 and Castor 32-24 before succumbing to Coushatta 28-24 in the semifinals. Aloysius won the third-place trophy when Lafayette failed to report for the consolation game.

But the season didn’t end there. Principal/Athletic Director Brother Martin, S.C., approved a trip to the 14th Annual National Catholic Tournament in Chicago, where Aloysius downed Catholic High of Little Rock 39-21 before losing to Marquette University High 34-27.

Note: An extensive recounting of the 1936-37 basketball season is posted on the Crusader Sports History area of brothermartin.com.

Chances for a repeat prep championship looked good as Zelden again welcomed a veteran squad for the 1937-38 campaign, including two 6’2” giants, Rene Galatoire and Jack Van, and top guard Peter Judlin, all of whom had made all-Prep the year before. Galatoire had also earned a spot on the all-State team.

The new gym, considered the finest facility in the city, was christened December 22 with a victory over Hahnville 22-14, a typical score in that era of a center jump at midcourt after every made basket and no jump shots. The Crusaders ripped off five more triumphs before starting Prep play with a 30-19 home win over Easton in front of an unprecedented overflow crowd of over 1000. Galatoire (10) and Van (8) accounted for 60% of the Saints’ points. Two future Prep coaches, Milt Clavier and John Altobello, led the Eagles in scoring.

After besting Catholic High in Baton Rouge 24-17, Aloysius resumed league play with victories over Jesuit (27-22), Fortier (33-17), Peters (23-19), and Holy Cross 29-25 to finish the first round undefeated.

However, the season-long winning streak ended at 12 when Easton turned the tables 26-21 at Behrman Gym in Algiers to begin the second round. The victory was labeled “one of the biggest prep upsets in the last two seasons” before “a stunned, pro-Aloysius crowd of 300 fans” since the Eagles had lost all five games in the first round.

The Crusaders rebounded from that poor outing to sweep the rest of their second round games, including a 27-19 defeat of Jesuit before 1,600 fans at Tulane Gym (built with the money the Green Wave earned from the 1932 Rose Bowl). Both Galatoire, who led the league in scoring with 102 points, and Judlin again made the All-Prep team.

The Aloysius junior varsity, coached by Leo Happel, also won the prep championship - the first time the same school won both titles in a season in the history of the prep league.

So the Crusaders returned to LSU for the state tournament with their hopes set on the school’s first state championship. Enjoying a

bye into the second round, the “smooth-working” Saints scored an easy 35-19 victory over Catholic High of Donaldsonville, a sister school staffed by the Brothers of the Sacred Heart.

But the next morning brought disappointment. Aloysius led Istrouma 19-18 at the half but trailed by one, 34-33, heading into the final quarter. Playing their “greatest game of the year” according to their coach, the Indians pulled the upset by outscoring the Saints 9-4 down the stretch. The Crusaders were called for 14 fouls to eight for the opponent, with Galatoire and Van whistled for four each. The

Indians then lost to Coushatta in the semifinals in a high-scoring game, 53-48. Galatoire gained some satisfaction by making second team all-state.

As New Orleans prep champion, the Crusaders again received and accepted an invitation to the tournament in Chicago. Brother Roland, S.C., accompanied Coach Zelden and eight players on the trip.

Galatoire scored a tournament record 32 points, three better than the previous mark, in leading the opening round win at the Loyola University Gym over St. Mary’s of Dunkirk NY 41-28. Galatoire “remained under the basket while teammates fed him the ball and used his height to push it through the net.”

But the exultation from the morning game was short-lived. That evening, 6’3” Charlie Butler, center for Mount Carmel High of Chicago, tied Galatoire’s record with 12 field goals and eight free throws to spark the 52-23 trouncing of the Crusaders. With four minutes remaining and the issue no longer in doubt, “the red-shirted lads from New Orleans” all took it upon themselves to guard “the slim, weaving Butler” who needed only five more points to tie Galatoire’s record. Judlin fouled Butler, who made good on the free throw. Then Charlie hit “from long distance” to give him 30. Shortly afterward, he outjumped everyone around the basket to sink the record-tying goal with a minute to play. The game descended into helter-skelter the rest of the way with helping or hindering Butler in his quest to surpass the record the sole objective. The hinderers prevailed. (Butler became captain of Notre Dame’s team and played pro ball.)

The two straight Prep championships began a 17-year period during which St. Aloysius created a basketball tradition of excellence second to none in Louisiana.
