Spring is upon us and theflowers on campus areblooming. Alleluia! I am

beginning to reflect that thereexists no slow period in aschools calendar anymore.Theenergy and enthusiasm of themission and ministry abounds.

We are very proud to haverecently been named theAdvanced Placement Winnerin Math & Science for thestate of R.I., sponsored by theSiemens Foundation. Mount is one of the 50 high schoolsnationally to be recognized asa leading school in AP partici-pation and performance in themath and science disciplines.Siemens proclaims that “highschools like yours representthe best of American educa-tion.” A special congratulationsto Mrs. Carol Moreau (APCalculus), Mrs. Janice Ferry(AP Environmental Science),Ms. Susan Tessier (APCoordinator), Mr. Henry Ferry(AP Chemistry), and Mr.Roland Lavallee (AP Biology).

Mount’s reputation in the per-formance arts continues toflourish.The month of Marchsaw the productions of Jr. HighDrama, Jr. High SpringConcert, Senior High Drama,Sr. High Spring Concert, aswell as the Art Exhibit anddedication of the Art Gallery.During spring break, 182 students from Senior Band,Chorus, and Jazz Band went toIreland for their 8-day concerttour of Ireland, hosted by families of the FCJ SecondarySchool in Bunclody, Ireland.Their return has them ener-

getically performing at twomajor May events: the annualPops Concert and the ChoralCabaret.

Winter sports proved to be avery strong season, especiallyfor our basketball programwhich had all six teams entertheir playoffs. J.V. Girls’ Basket-ball team is State Champs, withan undefeated season, and ourJr. High Boys’ BB team lost inthe finals. Our strong boys’and girls’ swim teams bothwon this year’s SportsmanshipAward; our Cheerleading teamwon the State Championshipand went on to compete inthe Nationals in WashingtonDC. And, our boys’ basketballteam received the state’ssportsmanship award.

The Winter Sports seasonwrapped up as the DivisionOne Hockey finals capped theend of March with a disap-pointing 1-0 loss to BishopHendricken in the finals at theProvidence College Arena.Hockey continues to be thegreatest sports drama of theyear for Mount.The end-of-season play was truly out-standing, having given BishopHendricken its first loss in twoyears in the first game of thefinals 3-game series.With agreat group of young hockeyplayers in the wings, there isprofound hope for a return tothe championship series formany years in the future. Ourefforts at building sportsman-ship surfaces again this spring,Mount baseball receiving itsSportmanship Award, ourfourth this year.

Our registration of new stu-dents and the re-registrationprocess is nearing completionwith the promise of a schoolfilled to capacity for this com-ing fall.We also will be able toprovide Financial Aid to over160 students with the averageaid package nearing $4,000.These efforts are made possible partly through thenumerous contributions to our Endowment Trust forFinancial Aid.

M E S S A G E F R O M T H E P R I N C I P A L

T he prevailing culture ofsports today oftenstands in direct juxtapo-

sition to the values we seek toimpart through our work hereat Mount.The “win at all costs”attitude that finds its way intothe minds of players andcoaches at the professionallevel and trickles down toeven the lowest levels ofyouth sports ignores many ofthe precepts of respect andself-discipline which we striveto instill in the young men andwomen in our care.

I am proud to say, however,that Mount’s athletes andcoaches are different.Throughthe untiring efforts of Mr.Richard Lawrence, our AthleticDirector, and now also ourAssociate Athletic Director, Mr.Chris Keyes, we can boast ofan athletic program that hasbeen recognized time andagain for the respect, sports-manship, and fair play displayedby players and coaches in allof our sports and at all levelsof competition.

It is especially pleasing toreceive notes, e-mails, orphone calls from opposingcoaches, opposing fans andparents, and league officialscommending the attitude anddeportment of our playersand coaches. And it is a sourceof great pride — perhapseven exceeding a StateChampionship — when oneof our teams is selected by the

Rhode Island InterscholasticLeague officials to receive theSportsmanship Award in itsparticular sport.This happenednot once, but twice, this pastwinter season when ourVarsity Boys Basketball Teamand our Varsity Boys and GirlsSwim Teams were selected toreceive the award in theirrespective sports.This contin-ues a trend over the past fewyears wherein our baseballteam, our hockey team, ourboys soccer team, and ourgirls tennis team, among oth-ers, have all been named aswinners of the leagueSportsmanship Award. Andmost recently, our VarsityBaseball Team was chosenonce again this spring as therecipient of this year’sSportsmanship Award forbaseball. Officials select onlyone team for each sport ineach season!

We are very proud of ourathletes and our coaches, notsolely because they are suc-cessful, but because peopleacross the state recognizeMount’s athletes for practicingthe precepts of “honorablecompetition:” 1. respect thegame; 2. play by the rules, andwithin the spirit of the rules;3. play your best; 4. don’t hitback, play harder; 5. employcompetitive self-restraint.

Being counter-cultural is noteasy. But being counter-culturalis the only way by which one

can change a culture.The cul-ture of sports does not alwaysexhibit the concept of honor-able competition, but thatdoesn’t mean that teams andathletes can only achieve suc-cess by ignoring this concept.Mount’s teams, we believe, arean example to coaches andathletes everywhere thatsports can be fun and that youcan play and be successfulwhile supporting the preceptsof honorable competition.More than anything else,though, our athletes show us every day that being aChristian and being an athletedo not have to be separateentities.

We are extremely proud ofthe success of our athleticprogram, but prouder still ofthe fact that Mount’s teamsare consistently recognizedacross the state for beingexamples of sportsmanshipand honorable competition.Mount’s motto – “Excelsior!” –lives on!

When you were a boy whatdid you want to do when yougrew up?I wanted to play hockey.

What was your first connec-tion to Mount Saint Charles? My closest friend from Manville wasJohn St. Sauveur ’51. As young boys,we used to walk to Mount and playhockey on an outdoor rink locatedwhere the rink now stands. Mountused to have two outdoor rinks atthe time…one on the upper fieldand one on the lower field.

Why did you attend Mount?I attended St. James School inManville. After finishing the eighthgrade I wanted to go to a school inSt. Joliet, Canada because of hockey.My parents wouldn’t allow that so Iwent to Mount where I was anhonor roll student.

What was the tuition whenyou were at Mount? Since Lincoln did not have a highschool at the time, I attendedMount at no cost.

Did you play sports at Mount? I played hockey.

(At Mount Bill played Junior Varsityand then Varsity Hockey. Mountwon the State Championship in1947. In 1947-48, Bill’s senior year,Mount was no longer allowed toinclude Canadians on the team, andtherefore pulled out of the RhodeIsland Interscholastic League forone year.The “Flying Frenchmen”went on to play college teams forthat season.)

Did you play hockey afterMount?I played for the WorcesterWarriors which was in a proleague, but the Warriors were nota pro team.We used to get $10.00per game. I also played three yearsfor the Springfield Indians, a minorprofessional hockey franchise, basedin West Springfield, Massachusetts.

What did you do before youbecame the Arena Manager?I was Staff Sergeant in the Army,during the Korean War. I returnedto Rhode Island and worked as aheavy equipment mechanic forMAC Construction and J. H. Lynchand Sons. In 1974, I became manag-er of the Brother Adelard Arena.

When did you start coaching?In 1954, I coached the ManvilleCYO junior high baseball teamwhich won the Diocesan State andNew England Championships. Later,I was involved with the first LittleLeague Farm Team in Manville.

(In 1975 Br. Paul Demers, Principaloffered Bill the job as varsity hock-ey coach.The team was polled —Bill got every vote except two: sonsJohn ’76 and David ’77 voted “NO.”They knew how hard they wouldhave to work if their dad took overthe program.)

How did you meet your wife? I met Yvette (Beaudoin) when Iworked for her dad. He ownedBeaudoin’s Catering and had arestaurant in Manville.

When and where were youmarried? St. James Church in Manville in1953 where we both were parish-ioners. I was an altar boy when Iwas young and I still serve at Masstoday. I go to church every day. Ialmost died in 1983. I got knockeddown during a hockey practice andsuffered a severe head injury. Ipromised God that I would go tochurch every day if I got better.

What are you most proud of?I’m proud of my family; wife Yvette,and sons Billy, John, David and Peter.

Do you cook? No, I can’t even turn on themicrowave.

Do you like music?I like “Big Band Music.” I like todance. My sister Fern taught me todance in our parlor when I wasyoung. I taught Yvette.We used togo dancing at Joyland and the KingPhilip Ballroom.

M O U N T F A M I L I E S

by Richard Lawrence

I t was more than 30 yearsago when a scrawny littleguy came out on to the

tennis court for a try out. Hecalled himself Michael Morin.

Little did either of us knowthat this would be the begin-ning of a story that would continue on fordecades andthrough at leasttwo generations.

Michael played onone of the firsttennis teams atMount SaintCharles. He wasMount’s first allstate tennis player.The success thathe achieved on the tenniscourts followed him into adult-hood. For many years now, hehas had a successful medicalpractice in New York State.

Michael was the first of theMorin siblings that I met. Oneby one they followed him toMount and one by one I gotto know them all.Though they

walked inthe shadowof his athletic andintellectualexcellence,they allmanaged tocarve aniche oftheir ownin schoolhistory.

And nowthere is a

second generation that isalready well represented atMount Saint Charles. And so

the Morin storycontinues.

Recently at a liturgi-cal event celebrat-ing family, theMorin family (twogenerations) filedup to the altar tolead the schoolcommunity on theOffertory. It was avery moving

moment — both for the manyMorins who were present andfor those of us who werethere to witness this extraordi-nary story.
