Long ago and far away, like the students at Bishop Manogue, I was blessed with a grace-filled four year experience at a Catholic high school. I remain grateful to this day. Among other experiences, I recall reading an influential book titled You Can Change the World. The author, Father James Keller, founded the Christopher Movement. You may remember the slogan of the Christophers: “It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.” The book had a profound effect on me.

While we may not have the opportunity, resources or talent to single-handedly bring about peace in the Middle East, for example, we can nonetheless make a difference in the world. We are, in fact, called by our sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation to do just that. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to bring about the kingdom of God in this world where peace and justice reign.

How are we, as members of the Bishop Manogue family, doing on this score? Are we making a difference?

We have no subways in northern Nevada, at least not yet, but a quote of Albert Schweitzer’s of which I am fond says, “A smile across the subway aisle can stay a suicide.” A smile can make such a difference.

Here is a Franciscan prayer asking God for special blessings to make a difference:

“May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.

“May God bless you with anger at injustices, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.

“May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy.

“And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.”

We know we have many Bishop Manogue graduates who are so blessed.

Jim Toner President

Wow! Where do I begin? We have an incredible student body, faculty, and staff. This fall over 54 percent of our students participated in fall sports, an increase of over 3 percent from last year. We are very proud of that participation level, as well as of the accomplishments of these student-athletes during the season.

Homecoming 2010 was a huge success as we welcomed back alumni and parents of alumni. Homecoming week culminated in the Homecoming dance, attended by over 75 percent of our student body. Winter sports and Academic Team competitions are kicking into full gear and we anticipate continued success in coming months.

The Bishop Manogue Speech and Debate program was recognized as the Leading Chapter in the Sagebrush district. This award, based upon student participation, is the highest honor the National Forensic League can bestow. This year, out of over 2,800

NFL member schools nationwide, Bishop Manogue is one of only 105 to receive the award.

This past August we were honored to accept the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association’s Award for Excellence as the top 4A school in the state. This award, the NIAA’s most prestigious, is based upon the students’ performance in the classroom, on the field, and in the Citizenship Through Sports Program. Despite being the smallest school in the 4A, Bishop Manogue prevailed and won this award for the very first time.

We continue to surpass state and national averages on the SAT and ACT tests. We are graduating over 99 percent of our students and sending those students to some of the county’s most prestigious colleges and universities. Bishop Manogue Catholic High School is not only alive and well, it is thriving. Like I said, we have an incredible student body, faculty,

and staff. I strongly encourage you to visit any time. Sit down with myself, a faculty or staff member, or a student and discuss what we are doing to make Bishop Manogue the most sought-after school in northern Nevada. I look forward to our time together.

Recently I had an exchange with a colleague of mine and I had to chuckle. He congratulated me on my new position and asked, “how is it, working at the rich school?” I rebutted, “If it were a rich school, why would I be working there in the capacity that I am?”

After that conversation I took a moment to reflect and then took a little inventory for Bishop Manogue Catholic High School.

We have a legacy and tradition that dates back to 1948. We have an engaged constituency in our parents, alumni, faculty and staff. We have a remarkable past and an extraordinary future ahead of us. We are blessed with donors who, for many years, have been called upon and they come through time and time again.

What we don’t have are cash reserves, a waiting list of students ready to charge through the doors, or an endowment providing income to offset those annual requests from students and families in need of tuition assistance.

None of these circumstances are a surprise to me. I knew all of this when I took the job in July of this year. What is a surprise is the outsider perception that somehow Bishop Manogue is insulated from the ups and downs of the economy. That we are an elite, athletics driven high school with none of the issues facing other education entities in the state of Nevada.

The good news is that we are all aware of and acknowledge the challenges the school faces. Bishop Manogue, like everyone else, does more with less every day.

As I get to know more of the students and their parents I am overwhelmed with the passion and commitment they display and the generous hearts they reveal. Many have asked what they can do,

be it service hours, financial support, donations in kind. The truth of the matter is all of the above.

This year we have implemented a Comprehensive Advancement (Development) Plan that is focused on strategic and organized fund development. Many of the events are the same, some are a little different. What’s the bottom line? We need to raise $1,000,000.

Recently, you received an Annual Report that outlines the results of last year’s campaigns. While the results were short of our goal, you will have the data necessary for you to make an informed decision on your giving. You will know where the immediate and long term needs of the school are. You will know how the donations from last year were allocated. Transparent stewardship, if you will.

This month you will receive a request for support on our Annual Fund Drive. This year’s goal is $100,000. I can tell you today that we are at $15,600. That leaves $84,400 to go. I am seeking a donor to do a match. Wouldn’t that be exceptional? If we received that match, a $500 donation would be equivalent to $1000. A $100,000 goal would become a $200,000 reality. We would be off to the races!

I can see the smiles on all of your faces. They are genuine and you are compelled to give. Remember, no donation is too small and together, we can.

Take a moment to mark a couple of important dates on your calendars. January 29, 2011, is the Green and Gold Miner’s Ball: A Black Tie and Blue Jeans Affair. This Parent’s Association hosted event supports Campus Ministry, Academics and Athletics.

May 7, 2011, is BASH. This major fundraiser is sure to sell out. Get your tables early and tell your friends. It is the “main event.”

The Advancement Department is deeply entrenched in a redesign and rollout of the new and improved BMCHS web page. As I understand it, that has been a long time coming! There are far too many enhancements and features to list here. But please know that it is through the generous support of alumni that we are able to advance this effort.

Please give generously this year. It is a great time to be a Miner!

Tuition AssistanceHelp Us Make More Miners!

Let’s face it. Everyone needs a little help now and then. Last year, through our Tuition Assistance Program, Bishop Manogue provided more than $388,000 to help families afford a Catholic education.

It’s an ongoing challenge to continually provide the best in academics, instruction, facilities and faith formation, while keeping tuition affordable, and in the current economic climate, more and more families are finding that a Catholic school experience is beyond their reach. At Bishop Manogue, making that experience available, accessible and affordable to students throughout the community is one of our top priorities. The Tuition Assistance Program makes that possible. What makes our Tuition Assistance Program possible? YOU!

The program is funded entirely by donations and special events, such as BASH. Last year, the faculty even got into the Tuition Assistance Act, by donating all of the proceeds from their spring Musical Madness performance to the fund. Please consider making your own contribution to the Tuition Assistance Program, and help us make more students proud to be Bishop Manogue Miners! n

The Reno-based Nell J. Redfield Foundation has has awarded Bishop Manogue Catholic High School a $50,000 grant to provide assistance to a group of “Redfield Scholars” at the school, all of whom have demonstrated financial need.

Because Bishop Manogue receives no state, federal or local tax monies to cover necessary operating expenses at the only Catholic high school in all Northern Nevada, the school depends on tuition revenues and the generosity of donors to enable the school to provide a quality, faith-based education.

“Families make great sacrifices to send their children to Bishop Manogue,” President Jim Toner reported. Because the school wants to be available to students from all levels of economic strata, the school does provide tuition assistance based on economic need. Foreclosures, job cut-backs and losses,

medical expenses, and generally limited earnings can qualify students for financial aid to the extent aid is available.

No student receives the full amount for tuition as the school requires “buy in” by the families. No students are given financial aid for athletics.

Bishop Manogue is able to continue to save taxpayers of Washoe County and Nevada monies that would otherwise be needed should they be in attendance in the public school system.

The Bishop Manogue community and the Redfield scholars in particular express their deep gratitude to the Redfield Foundation. n

Walking Down Memory Lane:

The Old SchoolLocated on the former Flick Ranch east of the cities and

alongside the Truckee river, the “old school” first opened its doors September 13, 1948. For nine years until June 1957,

the Flick Ranch proved a warm and hospitable site in a setting Patty Cafferata ’58 described as “peaceful.” There was no senior class the first academic year of 1948-49. Juniors at the time were “top dog” for two years—until they graduated as the first class in 1950. Students at the old school walk down memory lane:

“I think about my experience at the old school a lot. Those were halcyon days. I couldn’t have asked for a better education,

and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting.”

—Mary Panicari Llop, ‘50

“One of my favorite memories involves the juke box. The school had a juke box in the big living room and during lunch we could

play music. The Benettis would regularly service the juke box and replace records periodically.

Manogue had a school bus in those days. The driver was a man named Lynch. He had a thick Irish brogue. He would pick up students en route to school, even driving on some dirt roads to do so.

One think I did not like, however, was the smell of cooked tuna fish which was served on toast on Fridays. The aroma could permeate the school.” —Bill Macdonald, ‘50

“We have great memories of the first Manogue. We started life-long friendships. As I look back, the education

was ‘first cabin.’ The nuns were outstanding! The school provided a great foundation for the future.

I thought the world of our first principal, Father Joe Linde. He smoked cigars then and had a small little dog. The two of them were inseparable.

In the fall of 1951 we played Reno High in football. Reno had won a string of state championships. When they disembarked from their buses at the old Manogue, it seemed they had something like 55 kids ready to play. We had suited up 17 or 18 players and were still a new school. Despite that, we played Reno to a 7 – 7 tie.”

—Phil Hannifin, ‘52

“The setting and the knotty pine walls in the house gave the place a different feeling than a school. I liked decorating

for the dances with the fireplace in the large living room.

When I first came to the old school from Sparks as a junior, it seemed the other kids were more advanced in their knowledge of religion than I was. Many had gone to St. Thomas Aquinas. We were a great class. None were ‘quitters.’ We were ‘seniors’ twice.”

—John Menicucci, ‘50

Alumni from Bishop Manogue “on the hill” by the University of Nevada might also refer to that facility used from the fall of 1957 to June of 2004 as the “old school.” There is justification in this, but full entitlement to the title indeed rests with the classes of 1950-1960 who spent at least one year there during the interval of 1948-1957.


One event in the summer of 2010 proved especially festive for graduates and

students who experienced the very first Bishop Manogue Catholic High School edifice and campus. Students at the old school celebrated their time there with a grand reunion of eleven of the classes who spent at least one year at the site.

Bob Ferrari, class of 1954, chaired the successful event. When asked what inspired him to initiate such an undertaking, Ferrari replied “Every three or four months alums from the old Manogue would get together for lunch at the Coney Island. In 2009, I pointed out it would be the 60th and 50th anniversaries of the classes of 1950 and 1960. We thought it a good idea to hold a reunion. I just became the chair.”

The first graduating class, the class of 1950, did indeed celebrate their 60th reunion at the event. All eight of the living graduates from the class of 14 graduates attended.

“Wasn’t it a great reunion?” asked Mary Panicari Llop, valedictorian of the class of 1950. Llop, the very first editor of the Miner Detail, the outstanding student newspaper, added, “I hope we can have another one soon.”

The weekend was replete with activity beginning with individual class reunions on Friday, July 16th.

Saturday, July 17th saw a dinner for more than 220 participants at the downtown Reno Ballroom. The dinner was catered by the El Dorado with entertainment provided by Bob Braman and Jan Savage. Dick Stoddard served as the DJ following the dinner and entertainment.

Sunday, July 18th, Monsignor Leo McFadden celebrated Mass in the Bishop Manogue Chapel. Mass was followed first by reminiscences by Bill Macdonald and John Menicucci, both class of 1950, Vivienne Morris, ’51, Nancy

Howell Spina, ’51, Phil Hannifin, ’52 and Carol Howell, ’52.

After Mass, a tour of the new building was provided. Alums then enjoyed a Pancake Breakfast at St. Rose of Lima. Finally, more than 100 alums enjoyed the Sunday afternoon Reno Aces baseball game.

Throughout all phases of the event, the pride and gratitude of the alumni for their high school alma mater was made manifest on numerous occasions. Various alums remarked on their delight in serving as the pioneer grads upon whom a solid foundation for the heritage, tradition and legacy of Bishop Manogue was established. “I was awed by the spirit at the Reunion,” commented current Bishop Manogue President Jim Toner.

Several participants made financial contributions to the endowment fund at Bishop Manogue. n

Classes Reunite and Celebrate the…Old School

Walking Down Memory Lane:


Class Reunions

Class Reunions 1960

Included in the “Old School” festivities this summer, the class of 1960 took time to celebrate its own 50-year reunion. This class spent their freshman year at the original “Old School” before transferring to the school “on the hill” as sophomores. The entire class reunion experience was termed “a rousing success” where memories were shared and Manogue spirit abounded. Cheryl Dahl Hinman served as the Chair for the reunion. She prepared and distributed a special Alumni Book for participants. Many reunion events were linked to the overall Old School Reunion, but the class enjoyed a separate Friday dinner together at Harrah’s Steak House and a Saturday picnic at Village Green Park in Caughlin Ranch. Among participants in attendance was Denny Healy who came from his home in Ireland for the occasion. The class of 1960 awards a Dave Myers Scholarship to a graduating Bishop Manogue student each year in honor of deceased classmate David Myers.

Alumni Gather for Reunions and Recall Times at BMCHS

1980The class of 1980 held its 30 year reunion during homecoming weekend on October 8 and 9. Classmates started out attending the Friday night reception at the Tamarack Junction. It was fun for all with great food and beverages, and catching up. Saturday was spent watching the Miners win the Varsity football game at the alumni end zone tailgate party. Saturday night brought a nice dinner and slide show at the Silver Legacy. Word is that the party went on until the wee hours on Sunday. A great time was had. All classmates agreed that another 10 years would be much too long to wait, and that the bonds made through Manogue do last a lifetime.

1990The class of 1990 had 39 alumni participate in the reunion. The turnout for the Friday night Paella Party at the Ole Bridge Pub was great, with about 65 people in attendance. Also, we had about 15 alumni show up for the homecoming game festivities. The alumni party at the game was a really nice event, and everyone really enjoyed catching up. The turnout for the Saturday night dinner at the Coney Island was about 40 people.

1999The class of 1999 reunited on Friday, October 9 at Lakeridge Golf Course. About 65 people attended, including 45 alumni. The class joined up for food and drinks at the 19th Hole Restaurant while catching up on the past ten years. The following day, a small group also met for lunch, attended the Homecoming game, and took a tour of the new campus.

2000It had been a whopping 10 years since the days of curfews, Mrs. Clark and polo shirts… can you believe it? The class of 2000 came together during homecoming festivities to attend the bonfire and school the current students of Manogue on how to conduct the RAH Toilet! Friday we held a meet & greet at the Biggest Little City Club, Saturday we attended the end zone tailgate at the Manogue vs. Reed Football game, and then Saturday night we met at the Silver Legacy where decorations took us back in time. The night included hors d’oeuvres, buffet dinner, and contests.


ALUMNI MIXER AT ACES BALLPARK

Former classmates and friends reconnected over peanuts and cracker jacks at the Reno Aces ballpark this summer.

Having fun while catching up with former classmates and friends is the number one goal of the Bishop Manogue Catholic High School Alumni Association. We strive to create opportunities and events that keep our alumni engaged in school programs because graduation from Manogue is not the end of the road. Once a Miner, forever a Miner!

This July, our alumni association organized a mixer for all alumni, their families and friends at a Reno Aces vs. Las Vegas 51s game. Tickets to the event included space in the picnic area on Baseball Mountain

overlooking right field, hot dogs, hamburgers, loaded potato salad, freshly-baked cookies, water and soda. It was a great time for everyone to catch up with friends, meet new people, and enjoy the game.

The Alumni Association offers a variety of opportunities including regular mixers and communication through social media sites including Facebook, Ning and our new Word Press Blog. We hope you’ve had the opportunity to reconnect with former classmates and friends through any or all of our endeavors. For more information about the Alumni Association, or to get involved, please call us at 775-336-6000.

NIAA Honors Manogue with

“Award of Excellence”Athletics are more than just sports at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School. Through participation in athletics, the student-athlete learns that God is active in all things. Athletics provide the opportunity for the student-athlete to exhibit a progression of physical skills and knowledge to new situations. They learn to take responsibility for personal growth by developing loyalty, pride, integrity, and commitment.

During our 2009-2010 school year, our student-athletes were recognized by the Nevada I n t e r s c h o l a s t i c A c t i v i t i e s Association (NIAA) with the “Award of Excellence” in the statewide Class 4A. Only one school statewide in the Class 4A is recognized each year.

The NIAA, the non-profit governing body of high school athletics in Nevada, began the award program in 2001. The scoring system awards points to schools based on their varsity teams’ performances in the classroom, at the athletic venue and in the Citizenship Through Sports Program. Each of the three major categories in high school activities — academics, athletics and sportsmanship — are weighted equally, and boys and girls programs are combined in the standings table. Spirit and student council/leadership points are added after the conclusion of the winter season. Points are deducted at the conclusion of the spring season for ejections and other acts of unsportsmanlike conduct.

“We are so proud of our great students,” says Principal Tim Jaureguito. “Despite being the smallest enrollment school in the Class 4A, we are thrilled to have received such an outstanding award.” Miner Pride!

JIM WILLIAMS MINER GOLF CLASSIC

This annual even honors the memory of Mr. Jim Williams. Upon Williams’ retirement in 1999 as Finance Director of the National Judicial College, he was asked to serve as President of Bishop Manogue Catholic High School and work toward making the proposed new campus a reality. His tireless efforts allow this quality institution of learning to continue today.

Williams was an avid golfer, enjoying time spent at his home in Graeagle, a hobbyist golf club maker, classic movie buff, model train enthusiast, and he enjoyed fine wine. Williams will be remembered by all as someone who took on difficult tasks and moved mountains, as a fun and caring friend who delighted in the company of people, and as a warm, loving husband, father and grandfather.

The Annual Jim Williams Golf Tournament helps continue Williams’ work and commitment to provide assistance for deserving students attending Bishop Manogue Catholic High School. This year the tournament was held on Friday, October 8 at Wolf Run Golf Course. Golfers enjoyed a sun-filled day of great golf. The first place team was:

At Bishop Manogue Catholic High School, one can find three languages being taught; Spanish, Latin, and French. Only the last of these languages, though, provides the opportunity to travel to the country of its origin in order to experience both the language and the culture. Leslie Righetti, the French teacher deemed “ fearless” by both her students and their parents embarks every other summer with several students, two chaperones, and what she calls “the French bug” on a two week trip to France.

This past summer, seven students accompanied Mrs. Righetti on a trip put together by herself and the company she works with called “Language and Friendship.” The students were given the chance to see the Eiffel Tower light up the Parisian sky, the Mona Lisa hanging majestically in the Louvre, and even stay on their own with a designated French family. For two weeks, the students learned about the daily lives of the French people. In Paris, they visited a Parisian middle school and saw famous French museums, historical sites, and cathedrals; in Bierritz, they stayed with a French host family and became immersed in the language; in Carcassonne

they walked through the ancient city within a castle; in Avignon the students took an audio guided tour through the formal papal residence. These are only

a few of the sites witnessed by the members of Bishop Manogue’s French program. The following is an excerpt from the journal of Bart Mowry, a chaperone on the trip, who recorded the events of each and everyday. In this passage, he depicts the day they visited Lourdes, a city made famous by its healing waters and the site where the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette:

“Despite losing a planned full day in Lourdes as a result of the train strike, we made the best of it. We arrived at our hotel in Lourdes, located a short walk from the train station. After refreshing ourselves briefly, we started making our way to the Grotto.

Lourdes has been the site of Christian Pilgrimages for well over 100 years. The water of Lourdes is believed to have divine healing properties. People from all around the world make pilgrimages to Lourdes. Many seek a miraculous cure from the waters. Others are here petitioning for divine intervention on behalf of a loved one or friend.

On the route to the Grotto and Notre Dame Cathedral at Lourdes, there are many shops filled with religious items. Medals of your favorite Saint, rosaries of every kind and cost category, icons, etc. are available for purchase. Candles of various sizes are also available. We purchased 11 candles, 10 smaller ones with paper shields surrounding the candle to protect the flame from the wind. These are the ones carried by the hundreds there for the 9 pm Pilgrimage Procession.

While this was my second visit to Lourdes, this was the first time I witnessed the procession. It pulled your heartstrings to see the hundreds of people in the carts and chairs

seeking hope with the hundreds of volunteers helping them.

We had a great view of the entire procession and waited for the very end before continuing on to the Grotto, a short distance away. At the Grotto we walked along the side of the rock wall. There was a box for prayers and intentions. Most of our group carried small intention cards which they deposited in the receptacle box and we continued to the area where a statute of Mary resides in the spot where she appeared to Bernadette. We attempted to visit the Cathedral, but at 11 pm they are ushering visitors outside as it is closing time.

By the time we get back to the hotel it is past midnight and at the front door of the hotel we find that while they have left a light

on for us (think Tom Bodett), the front door is blocked by an imposing metal gate denying us access. Madam R asks who has the code to open the metal gate and everyone is silent. Despite the stress of the day and late hour, Madam R is humorously toying with us! She produces the five digit code from a scrap of paper inside her purse. We enter, Madam R tells everyone to meet for breakfast at 7:30 sharp with bags. We have to catch a train at 8:43 (or so we think).”

The trip the students took to the Grotto was just one of many adventures Mrs. Righetti’s group experiences during this priceless journey to France. When the two weeks were over, the students returned with not only new friendships formed, but memories made that are sure to last them a lifetime.

“Ted, you and I have witnessed many

things, but nothing as bodacious as what just

happened.” — Bill

So says Bill in the 1989 classic teenage time-travel movie, “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.” And we can say the same about Homecoming 2010, themed Bishop Manogue’s Excellent Adventure Through Time. It was quite a week, with history moving through the halls, victory on the gridiron, visiting royalty on hand, and of course, food, fun and friends from yesterday and today.

Students walked like Egyptians on Monday, the first of four dress-up days for the week. On subsequent days, they sauntered like Samurai, marched like Gladiators and finally, hulked like Cavemen. Minute-to-Win-It games spiced up lunchtime, hallways were retro-decorated, and there were activities each afternoon and evening, including Jam the Gym, Flood the Field, Roller Skating, and Movie Night—featuring “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure,” of course.

“I believe our adventure through time has taken a most serious turn.” — Ted

The students ditched their costumes and got down to business on Friday for Miner Pride Day, a recently reinstated Homecoming tradition. The goal, says Principal Tim Jaureguito, is to create a sense of ownership and responsibility for the physical campus, and to get the school ready for the influx of parents and alum who visit during homecoming week. “So many

people come to this campus to see what we are all about, “ explains Jaureguito, “and making it as clean as possible year round is an important factor.” Students spent the morning spread throughout the campus, inside and out, pulling weeds, picking up trash, cleaning bleachers, and degumming desks. The result was a great-looking school by the end of the morning, and a well-earned break just in time for the Homecoming Rally.

If you’ve never seen a Homecoming Rally at Bishop Manogue, mark your calendars for next year. The entire student body, along with faculty and staff, are out in force with an energy and spirit that rivals a sold-out rock concert. Math teachers rapped. (Really.) Leadership students time-warped. And faculty and students squared off in a live action dodge ball game. At the center of the festivities were skits by the homecoming king and queen candidates, with each couple trying to win votes through creative and across-the-board hilarious ensemble performances.

“Party on, dudes!” — Ted

Friday night was hopping with a series of celebrations and activities including an Alumni Mass, a volleyball match, a spaghetti feed to benefit the soccer program, an Alumni Reception at Tamarack Junction and, of course, the traditional school Bonfire.

The annual Alumni Reception is gaining a reputation as a great place to run into old friends during homecoming weekend. Alumni from all graduating classes are welcomed for drinks, appetizers, catching up and winding down. Some participants headed over to


the bonfire, where current students were “firing up” for the big game the following day. Homecoming floats were on parade, and the 2010 Homecoming King was crowned. Nominees Mark Farthing, Niles Lujan, Mason Marino, Zack McElroy, and Ky Sisson were escorted to the stage by their mothers, and when the votes were counted, McElroy was crowned King.

Saturday was a perfect fall day. But, King and varsity quarterback McElroy did the impossible and improved upon perfection by leading the Miners to a landslide 41-14 victory over the previously undefeated Reed Raiders. The game was watched by a full stadium, including some 130 alumni and family who enjoyed the game from the end zone at the annual alumni barbecue. During the game, several groups toured the campus and school, making Miner Pride Day really pay off.

“Excuse me. Do you know where there

are any personages of historical significance

around here?” — Bill

The game’s halftime festivities featured not only the 2010 Homecoming Queen candidates, but also two very special guests from Manogue’s past. Carole McGilvray Burke, Manogue’s first homecoming queen, and Phil Hannifin, the student body president who crowned her, were on hand to witness the crowning of this year’s queen. Burke and Hannifin both graduated in 1952, when Manogue was located on the Flick Ranch property, and both had impressive high school careers. Burke was not only homecoming queen, but also an athlete, a student council member, and captain of the cheerleading squad. Student Body President Hannifin was also captain

of the football team, a basketball player, and a four-year letterman.

Looking vibrant and youthful Burke and Hannifin joined queen candidates Ginny Allen, Brey Aufiero, Laney Childs, Maria Drakulich, and Gaby Urban on the field at half time, where Urban was ultimately crowned Homecoming Queen of 2010. The week wound down with the students’ homecoming dance on Saturday night, as well as several reunion celebrations, including the classes of ’60, ’80, ’90 and 2000.

“Be excellent to each other.” — Bill

Homecoming week is always a busy, exciting and…well… excellent time at Bishop Manogue. It’s a special opportunity to bring together the school’s past—embodied by our alumni and alumni parents—and its future—alive and well in our vibrant student body. This year, our theme encouraged everyone to step back in time, giving us the chance to look back and appreciate the legacy and traditions so integral to the Bishop Manogue family. And you can take it from Bill and Ted—when the past meets the future, there’s always an adventure, and always something learn.

Excellent: from the top, Miner Pride Day; alumni barbecue on game day; Miner Pride apparel; alumni reception at the Tamarack; cavemen at the bonfire; and a pre-game prayer.


Walsh Family Sends

Bishop Manogue is a family. Since its beginning in 1948, parents have valued the family spirit, the faith based education, the academic excellence, and the athletic and social aspects related thereto. Parents have sacrificed to have their children reap the benefits of the Bishop Manogue experience. Many large families in particular have made significant sacrifices to send their children to Manogue.

Tom, ’51 and Lena Quilici Magee, ’52 not only graduated themselves from Bishop Manogue; they sent all eight of their children to their alma mater. They then witnessed the enrollment and graduation of numerous Magee grand-children from Manogue. Tom, now deceased, was in fact named Thomas Gorman Magee after Bishop Thomas Gorman who founded the high school.

Other large families are well known as well. Dr. Gerry and Pat Glenn sent all 10 of their children to Manogue, as did Ed and Marge Fuetsch. John and Winnie Cavilia sent nine of their 10 children to Manogue. The 10th, John, entered the minor seminary instead.

The McElroys, the O’Maras, the Smalls, the Desmonds, the Ricciardis, the Speths, the Hay-Chapmans — all with seven or more children, are prominent names in the list of Bishop Manogue graduates. Many other families, large and small, have left their mark.

The Walsh Family

The family with undisputed claim to having the largest number of Manogue graduates from one immediate family, however, is the Jim and Patricia Walsh family. The Walsh family graduated 13 students from Bishop Manogue!

Gail Walsh, class of 1968 was the first and eldest of the family to graduate. Jeanmarie Walsh, class of 1987, was the youngest and the last. From 1965 to 1987, a period of 22 years, at least one Walsh sibling was in attendance at Manogue. There was more than one occasion when four Walsh siblings matriculated at Bishop Manogue at the same time.

The Walsh Parents

Mr. Jim Walsh, father of the 13, worked as a truck driver, a construction worker, and also as a custodian at Our Lady of Snows School. He started this position after he had been sick with gall stones for five months and lost

his job. Jim is a native Nevadan who came from Austin, Nev. He attended Catholic high school at Christian Brothers in Sacramento prior to the time there was any Catholic high school anywhere in Nevada.

Mrs. Patricia Walsh, mother of the Walsh clan, taught school at Our Lady of Snows for many years. She took the job in part to provide a second income for the large family and the education expenses at Catholic schools. Part of Pat’s exciting history is her birth on Donner Summit during a snowstorm.

Not only did all 13 children graduate from Bishop Manogue; they all graduated from Our Lady of Snows. Living approximately one mile from the elementary school, they were able to walk the distance.

“There was 100 percent agreement we would send our kids to Bishop Manogue,” Patricia reported. “We persevered. We received some sibling discounts. Today tuition is more expensive than it was, but it was still a challenge.” Winter presented a special challenge when construction work slowed in the Truckee Meadows.

When asked about other memories of the school, Pat replied, “The proof is in the pudding. The nuns were pretty darn

Children to Manogue


13good! All our kids managed to get into college. They learned morals at Bishop Manogue. The atmosphere at school was good. We knew where our kids were.”

The Walsh Children

Steve, ’70 and the second-born Walsh child, lives in San Diego where he works in outdoor construction. Steve became a member of the “President’s Club” at Manogue last year when he contributed $1,000 parceled in monthly payments to the school. He has earmarked this for tuition assistance to help families in need. In August, Steve returned to Reno for his 40th class reunion. “I was blown away by the level of technology in the school,” Steve stated. “When I was a student here I was reserved and shy. I loved to go camping, to hike, hunt and fish. Some students nicknamed me ‘Gramps’ for some reason. I am extremely grateful; first, for being a member of that family, my family; and secondly, for the opportunity to have attended Our Lady of Snows and Bishop Manogue!”

Kim, ’71, Paul, ’80, and John, ’80 were the three Walsh males who played high school football. All three played on undefeated teams which won state championships. Curiously, all three became architects.

Paul Walsh, ’80, twin to John, is an architect who with his partner served as the architects for the church at next door neighbor, St. Rose of Lima. St. Rose was completed in 2003, a year before Bishop Manogue. Paul had always “assumed” he would attend Manogue, he reported. His high school experience was “academically challenging.” He remembers Brother Ignatius and Mr. Geyer as being particularly effective teachers.

“We helped pay tuition by mowing lawns,” Paul recalled. “We also were aided by some scholarships.”

Paul’s eldest daughter is currently a freshman at Bishop Manogue.

John Walsh Project Principal in Bishop

Manogue Design

John Walsh, ’80, an architect like his brothers Paul and Kim, described his time at Manogue as a “great experience!” “Being one of 13 children here became a very special thing. Younger siblings could witness their elder siblings being involved.”

John Walsh has a particularly strong connection to Bishop Manogue. In addition to having his three children attend Manogue, John served as the Project Principal with the Moore-

Walsh Collaborative in designing the present school. John was the point person for the design team. Among other responsibilities, he did master planning, wrote contracts, and made presentations at public meetings. John pointed out how the building design relates to the image of the crucifix: the library is the head; the academic wings are the arms, the chapel the heart, and the hallway the lower body.

The 13 Children

The thirteen Walsh children and the years of their graduation are as follows:

Gail, ’68; Steve, ’70; Kim, ’71; Dennis, ’72; James, ’74; Elizabeth, ’75; Christine, ’76; Paul, ’80; John, ’80; Patrick, ’81; Mary Jo,’83; Margaret, ’84; and Jeanmarie, ’87.

The Walsh family remains closely knit to this day. Each Sunday the family gathers to eat a family meal together, pot luck style, frequently at the home of parents Jim and Patricia. Patricia makes the calls to arrange the pot luck offerings. Attendance is typically in the 75 percent range.

Will there be any Bishop Manogue families in the future to contest the Walsh family record?

Alumni Bridget Levy returns from Denmark! Has it been a year already? Last time

we saw Bridget, she was a giddy 17 year old, anticipating her journey

to Denmark. On Tuesday night, Bridget came to tell us about her year abroad, mature, self confident, happy and grateful. Bridget lived on Bornholm, an island in the Baltic Sea.

While the cold, dark winter — temperatures were the coldest recorded in years, and the sun only shone for five hours a day—was hard to adjust to, Bridget didn’t have anything else negative to say about her adopted country or her host family. Normally,students spend six months with one family and six months with another, but Bridget spent 11 months with her host family, and they became very close.

While in Denmark, she attended “gymnasium,” the Danish equivalent of high school. Normally, students would choose a “line” of study science, languages etc.), but since Bridget had graduated from high school in America, she chose subjects that interested her. Instead of having new classmates in each subject, the Danish students in any given grade stay together all day, and become very close. There are no “cliques” and no competition among students, Bridget says, making the high school experience much more pleasant and free of drama than it is in the States.

Shortly before her return to the U.S., she accompanied other exchange students on a Rotary sponsored Eurotour through several countries. Bridget lists those travels as some of her most memorable experiences, but less grand moments also stand out for her. During Christmas Eve,

she leaned back into a candle and set her hair on fire; that made her most indelible holiday memory. More enjoyable were the experiences of opening presents on Christmas Eve and watching fireworks to ring in the New Year.

Bridget will attend Gonzaga University in the fall, majoring in international relations. Her experiences as a Rotary exchange student will prove invaluable in her understanding of other cultures and monetary systems, giving her an “edge” in her chosen career. Our club is proud and happy to have sponsored this remarkable young lady on her international adventure!

Bridget’s host family provided one sister and two brothers for her. The family surprised her for her 18th birthday, taking her to celebrate in London. She saw more of Europe during a school trip to Italy and a family ski trip to Sweden.

Being part of this community has been an unbelievable journey. Manogue has

instilled in me values and knowledge that I will take into my life and into

the world.

This school has inspired me to live out simple but powerful piece of scripture that is posted on one of their walls—“You are the salt of the earth,” and “You are the light of the world.” I see this and realize that my school, unlike any other school in the region, believes that every student is a light in a dark world.

Because of Manogue, I have had the chance to help the poor and suffering

through service projects. This has taught me humility, empathy, and compassion. These qualities are priceless and Manogue has instilled them in me.

Campus Ministry at Manogue is something that I have grown to love. I have had the privilege to work with amazing people such as Mr. Schambari, Ms. Saunders, and Ms. Kehoe, who have taught me what it means to live as that light and salt through service and being an example for others.

Along side Campus Ministry, Student Leadership has been a huge part of my life here. Mrs. Huggins has been an instrumental part of my growth

and I have grown to love the student activities that make us who we are. Being Student Body President has given me the opportunity to mature and grow in more ways than I can imagine.

When I look back on my years at Manogue I think of the countless people I have met, the laughs I have shared, and the memories I have made. I know that because of Manogue, I will take the light that I have been shown, and do my best to give it to the rest of the world. Bishop Manogue will have a lasting place in my heart as a place that truly impacts the lives of not only its students, but also its community.

New Faculty & StaffClass of ’84

graduate J a c k i e C a v i l i a Allen, finds herself back in the office

at Bishop Manogue, but

this time she’s not headed to detention.

Allen is the newest member of the school’s Advancement Office as the Associate Director of Marketing and Communications. In this new position Allen will coordinate and create all printed materials, newsletter, brochures, etc., and will assist with the school’s fundraising activities.

Allen, who graduated from the University of Nevada with an B.A. in English literature, worked in development and public relations for the Desert Research Institute, and then as a freelance writer for various publications. Says she’s excited to be back in the workplace and pitching for Manogue. “There are a whole lot of good things happening here. The campus is gorgeous, the faculty is really dedicated, and student body is so dynamic. I’m looking forward to spreading the word.”

After working at Nevada hotspots such as The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and the Peppermill in Reno, new faculty member Branson Barr is ready to begin the scholarly life. “I’m super excited to start here at Manogue,” says Barr, adding, “I can see that it is a special place and

that I am very fortunate to be a part of the Manogue family.” Barr is especially excited this year because he and his wife are expecting a baby, something they have been looking forward to for some time.

Prior to moving to Reno nine years ago, Barr worked at the pool at The Hard Rock and ran into celebrities such as Michael J. Fox, Gwen Stefani, and Drew Carey. “I actually tried to become friends with these people,” says Barr with a laugh. “My friends and I would joke about if the celebrities mentioned us when they ran into each other back in Hollywood because we saw them so often.”

Barr is teaching five different classes: Physics, Physics Honors, A.P Physics, Geology, and Pre-calculus. Though the workload seems like a lot, he is definitely prepared for it. “If only I could travel through a worm-hole to get an extra hour of prep-time, then I would be able to lesson plan and walk my dogs every day.”

Barr graduated from the University of

Nevada with a Master’s in

E d u c a t i o n . Last year, he worked at Hug High School as

an intern and taught

P r e - c a l c u l u s and Algebra for

new English-learning students. There he discovered many of the

intricacies that teaching requires. “My experience [at Hug] was indescribable and will serve as a cornerstone for my career in teaching.”

B i s h o p M a n o g u e welcomes Patrick Bell as the new Academic Data Coordinator. Bell’s responsibi l it ies i n c l u d e a n a l y z i n g student scores from tests like the ACT, SAT, and PSAT/NMSQT, and squeezing all the useful information possible from that data. This allows teachers and administrators to identify strength and weaknesses, and better structure programs for student success.

Bell comes to Bishop Manogue from San Francisco, where he taught Math and Science. He says he has always enjoyed the strong sense of community offered in Catholic schools, which impacted his decision to become a part of the Manogue family.” I found Manogue to be extremely welcoming, and the students are awesome.”

And Bell understands family, having come from one with an impressive 12 siblings. “I always had someone to play with,” he explained. Born in Tahoe, Bell grew up in the Minden/Gardnerville area, and currently attends the University of Nevada in Reno, where he is completing his Ph.D. in Education and Psychology.

Tyler Cobb is one of Manogue’s newest faculty members, teaching English, Creative Writing, and Religion. Cobb, who is also

a youth minister, grew up in Stamford,

Connecticut, and graduated from the University of Montana.

When asked if being a teacher

had always been a dream of his, Cobb

replied with the wry sense of humor he has come to be known for. “I have never worked for a full 12 months, and I never planned too, so no. But I do enjoy being able to travel in the summer, and I love interacting with this age group.”

He says those interactions can become especially interesting in his role as youth minister and religion teacher, when students are often discussing issues of faith and can be remarkably candid. “I really appreciate it when someone says something because they believe what they’re saying. You can definitely tell when a kid is just saying things for the sake of messing with you.”

Cobb says that an influential teacher once told him that he went in to the field “to keep kids from using guns,” a quote that he has not forgotten. “The way I see it, is if I can equip kids with an education, they’ll take that and do something with their lives, rather than turn to crime to survive.”

As a new member of Bishop Manogue’s faculty, Suzi Cornell is ready to take on the world… World History that is, along with Honors Government and Advanced Placement Government. Cornell is excited to be teaching at Manogue and to have, as she describes it, her first classroom “on her own. “ She says she’ll be challenged with the

range of courses she is teaching, but is looking forward to sharing what she knows with her students.

Cornell graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder where she majored in history. She then went on to Sierra Nevada College, where she earned her Masters in education. She is thrilled to be involved with Manogue because she believes that Catholic schools “marry the best of education with spirituality.” She hopes to experience that spirituality firsthand by getting involved in Manogue’s student retreats, Quest and Kairos.

Cornell says that one of the best parts of teaching is the students. “I think these students have genuine respect for me and for their peers, and they have picked up on the importance of education.”

Jennifer Hurt is a new addition to Bishop Manogue’s math department. She teaches Honors Pre-calculus, College Algebra/Trigonometry, and Pre-Algebra. She says she is enjoying the variety in her schedule because, “with so many different classes to teach throughout the day, I’m never bored.”

Hurt, who has been teaching for 12 years, moved to Reno from San Mateo, Calif., where she worked at a combined middle and high school. She became a math teacher because it was her favorite subject in school and it has practical applications in the world today.

Hurt moved to the Reno area to be closer to family—a sister, brother-

in -law, niece, and nephew who all live in Truckee. She had

heard Manogue praised for its great academics and strong sense of community, and say it’s been a positive experience so far. “I’m excited about

teaching here. Everyone has been very welcoming

and helpful.” Hurt says she is really looking forward to meeting all of her students, learning the wonderful traditions we have here at Manogue, attending the sporting events and making new friends both on the staff and among the students. She added that, “students can come to me for help whenever they need it, because my passion is helping students achieve their goals and dreams.”

Don Johnson has joined the Bishop Manogue faculty, filling a vacant position in the history department. No stranger to the classroom, Mr. Johnson formerly taught history and JROTC part-time at Douglas High School. “I decided to go full-time. Manogue had an opening, and I was very fortunate to get it,” explains Johnson.

Johnson’s expertise isn’t limited to teaching. “I’ve had a lot of different jobs. I worked for the government, in business management, and for 20 years in economic crimes investigation in the private sector.” Retiring in 2006, he took the advice of his friends who had various teaching jobs and began his journey as an educator.

Though he enjoys the exhilaration of teaching,

Johnson credits his family for adding the most excitement to his life. “I’ve lived a long life. I’m married and I’ve

raised four kids – that is the best adventure of

my life.”

Johnson is enjoying his experiences as a part of the Manogue community. “I love the energy level. Everyone is so in-tune and active,” he remarks. He has also found something at Manogue he subconsciously knew was missing at his previous Douglas High post. “It bothered me at Douglas that I had to watch what

I had to say about God,” he recalls,

noting the i m m e n s e role God plays in his life. “I believe God

puts me into s i t u a t i o n s .

He put me in investigations and

management to help and guide people. In the same way I’m now here making a difference in education.”

Alum Frank Landes ‘71 has rejoined the Manogue family as a World History and U.S. Government teacher, bringing with him a unique background in Intelligence and Criminal Justice. Landes previously taught Catholic religious education at the middle school level, and weaponless defense training to members of the Investigation Division of the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office.

Landes says he has been inspired by three major people in his life: Mr. John Riordan, who taught him the importance of a work ethic and integrity; Chris Ault, who taught him how to set and achieve goals on and off the football field; and Dr. Weinberg, who rekindled his curiosity in learning and prompted him to get his Masters in Political Science and Terrorism. “What they taught me,” he says, “has been of great value.”

Landes was a University Police Officer while attending the University of Nevada, and after he received his degree, worked as an Investigator for the District Attorney. He is also an Intelligence Officer in the Nevada Air National Guard.

Being in the Air Guard allowed Landes to travel extensively, and also required him to do extensive reading about the history of the places he was stationed. Landes says that’s ok with him, since during his time as a Manogue student, he was fascinated with history. Now, he is happy to be in a position to share that fascination. “I decided to start teaching to give back to the school that gave me so much. I’ve been part of the Manogue family before, and I’m glad to return.

Richard “Chip” Lindloff has joined Bishop Manogue’s Administration as the new Chief Advancement Officer. In his position, Lindloff is spearheading the fundraising, communications, and relationship-building efforts of the school. “I’m very much looking forward to increasing awareness of and involvement in Bishop

Manogue, and letting more people know what a

wonderful asset this school is to our entire community.”

Lindloff explains that Bishop Manogue does

not charge the actual cost of education to students.

The difference between tuition and actual cost of education is known as the ‘GAP.’ “One of our primary goals will be to raise money for the GAP, and well as for financial aid to economically disadvantaged students.”

Lindloff’s new position is a natural extension of his involvement in

the local business and Catholic

c o m m u n i t i e s , where he has been active for 10 years. A Rotarian and an officer in the Knights

of Columbus, he recently served as

President of the Rotary Club of Reno Centennial

Sunset, and currently sits on the District 5190 Grants Committee. Mr. Lindloff is also an outgoing State Officer with the Nevada Council of the Knights of Columbus.

Thanks to new faculty member Tracy McKinlay, Bishop Manogue’s international students are having a much easier time adjusting to life in a foreign country. McKinlay is the school’s ELL (English Language Learners) teacher and is helping 11 Chinese exchange students navigate the language, customs, and curriculum of their new school.

McKinlay herself is proof that the young people can successfully make that transition. She moved to the United States from China 10 years ago, and then earned her Master’s in counseling from the University of Nevada in Reno. In China, she attended Wuhan University where she studied English.

McKinlay says the most rewarding part of her job is, “when my students enjoy learning and say they understand what I’m teaching.” Her goal is for each student to succeed in learning the language and culture, as well as to grow academically, ethically, and spiritually. “To succeed,” she adds, “the kids will have to really apply themselves and work hard. They will also need the help of the rest of the school

Legendary Nevada coach Joe Sellers was named to the Bob Elias Kern County Sports Hall of Fame on February 18, 2010. The Bob Elias Hall of Fame was established in honor of Elias’ great contributions to sports in the Kern County area.

Born in Bakersfield, Calif., Sellers graduated from East High in 1963 and went on to Bakersfield College where he was an outstanding football player. He was recruited to the University of Nevada, Reno, where he played both nose guard and offensive guard.

Sellers stayed in Reno after his college years, and became the state of Nevada’s most successful football

coach ever, posting a 250-45 record. At Wooster High, he went 214-37 with seven state championships, and was named Nevada Coach of the Decade for the 1980s. He added two more state titles in his four years at Manogue High School. A nine-time Nevada Coach of the Year winner, he was inducted into the National Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2003 and the Nevada Sports Hall of Fame in 2008.


community, to make new friends and show them the ropes at Bishop Manogue.”

New, and yet not so new, to the Bishop Manogue family is Thomas Peregrin. Not only has the Freshman Religion Teacher and

football coach been a regular substitute

teacher at Manogue, he is also a member of Bishop M a n o g u e ’ s class of 2004.

“I graduated from Manogue

and there was such a strong family feeling

and a great community,” explains Peregrin. “When I returned to substitute, I felt that again and decided I would really like to be a part of the Bishop Manogue Family again.”

Peregrin, who attend Manogue at the Valley Road location, says the campus is not the only thing that has changed. “There is more student involvement in the Masses which is amazing, but the Rah Toilet is

terrible...these kids do it all wrong.” Still, he says, other things, and faces, have remained the same. “The community feeling is still here and so are Mrs. Wieland, Mrs. Verzola, and Mr. Motter.”

Another familiar face on campus for Peregrin is his wife, Ashley Peregrin, who is an Integrated Learning Center teacher and cheerleading coach for the school. The couple met at Western Michigan University, where Mr. Peregrin earned his Education Degree and quarterbacked for the WMU Broncos. “I love working at Manogue, and the faculty is very supportive,” he commented. “It’s also nice to have lunch with my wife every once in a while.”

University of Notre Dame graduate Danielle Ledesma-Smith finds herself back in Catholic school as Manogue’s newest Chemistry and Integrated Science teacher. She explains, “I really wanted to teach at a school with

morals, respect and integrity.” Smith is very happy to be

here and finds it to be a very tight knit Catholic community.

L e d e s m a - S m i t h received her degree in

Environmental Science, and later taught at Carson

Valley Middle School. She also graduated from South Tahoe High School, where coincidentally, Manogue principal Tim Jaureguito was then a counselor and football coach.

When she is not busy making lesson plans for school or working she enjoys curling up with a good book or knitting to take away the stress of a long work day. She traveled this summer, visiting Disneyland with her husband, and the Kennedy Space Center in Orlando, Fla., with a few of her former students. During that trip, Ledesma-Smith says she guided her students in a tour about the NASA program and broadened their knowledge of science in general.

Last year, you knew where to find Krissy Kehoe Rasmussen—in the classroom teaching Theology or English, or on the field, coaching women’s soccer. This year, she’ll be a little harder to locate in her multi-

faceted new role as Bishop Manogue’s Director of Campus Ministry.

As Director of Campus Ministry, Kehoe Rasmussen is responsible for providing students with a variety of faith formation opportunities, including Liturgy, Peer Ministry, Service Projects and Retreats. And while she is sometimes nostalgic for the classroom, she

says it is gratifying to experience a new side of the children who were once her students. “The kids are so fun. I miss seeing them everyday. But, when I am with the kids at the retreats, it’s the best. I get to see them at those really amazing moments, when they suddenly realize something new and good about themselves. That’s what I love about this job.”

Campus Ministry offers multiple retreats throughout the year, including a Freshman Retreat, Quest and Kairos. “The retreats are about their journey through faith, and no matter what faith the kids are, they hear it and feel it, and it can be so positive.”

Originally from Eugene, Oregon, Kehoe Rasmussen graduated from Oregon State and moved to Reno five years ago. She is the author of a young adult novel called Finding You, and is currently working on her second book.

She’s ba--ack! Telsche Saunders has returned to teach sophomore Theology at Bishop Manogue after a year’s hiatus filled with family and travel. “It’s great to be back in the classroom, she says, “and I’m loving the sophomore class.”

Formerly the Director of Campus Ministry, a teacher in the Theology department, and coach of both the volleyball and bowling teams, Saunders says she is enjoying the slower pace of her life right now. “I love being involved, but having a year off has really shown me the extreme value of time with my family.” During that year, Saunders travelled to Turkey and to France, and “spent some much needed and very precious time with family.”

Saunders began her teaching career in Douglas County where she worked for four years. During that time she also served as the Youth Minister for St. Teresa’s in Carson City. This experience piqued her interest and led her to Bishop Manogue, where she spent three years with the Campus Ministry Program. “I loved running the retreats,” she says, “and I’m still here to help however I’m needed.”

Asked about her biggest challenge as a new Manogue teacher, Ledesma-Smith jokingly states, “the schedule. I will be frantically trying to get ready for her next class, only to realize that I have prep period.” Despite that sometimes confusing block schedule, Ledesma-Smith says she is enjoying Manogue and her new Catholic community.

Peter Wallstrum is Manogue’s newest techie, having recently joined the school’s IT Department. Wallstrum says he’s enjoying the warmth and welcoming atmosphere of the school, and thinks he’s a perfect fit for his new position. “I like fixing odd problems and solving challenges, and I love the idea of

contributing to the education

of students at the same time.”

moved to Gardnerville and

graduated from Douglas High School. He credits the 1990 computer game “Quake” for leading him to his current career. “I would mess around with my own computer to improve the game play. Eventually I learned enough to land a job at my university’s help desk, and then went on to work in network security for International Game Technology.”

When he’s not in front of a computer screen, Wallstrum likes to get outside, snowboarding, camping, fishing and hunting. You can also find him on the Manogue soccer field, where he volunteers as the varsity girl’s Assistant Coach.

After 44 dedicated years of teaching, 32 of which were at Bishop Manogue, Brother Philip Napolitano, FSR, has retired.

Although his surname refers to being connected to Naples, Italy, Brother Philip is actually a native of Brooklyn, New York. There he first learned of the Reno-based Brothers of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary from an ad in the Brooklyn Diocesan newspaper. Drawn by the fact the order was a teaching community, he traveled west to Reno in 1961.

Brother Philip’s first teaching assignment was at St. Christopher’s in North Las Vegas. He also taught at the now-closed Glendale Academy and Our Lady of Snows.

Brother Philip studied at St. Benedict’s College in Atchison, Kan., and has a Bachelor’s in Arts and Science from the University of Nevada, as well as a Master’s in theology from Mount Angel in Oregon.

“I have worked for nine principals at Bishop Manogue, starting with Father George Wolf,” Brother Philip reported. “I have taught the parents, siblings, and cousins of many of today’s students.”

There are many happy memories. He taught religion at every level, Biology, Earth and Life Sciences, and Physical Science. “I especially enjoyed teaching Psychology to seniors for a few years, too.”

“It will be strange not to be at Bishop Manogue,” Brother Philip affirmed. “The hardest part of leaving will be leaving the kids.”

And the sentiment is reciprocated. Beloved by students, Brother Philip was well known for his sense of humor and his teaching style. “He had a lot of tolerance for shenanigans, but was also a disciplinarian. We had fun, but there were rules,” a Bishop Manogue alumna attested.

Brother Philip taught at Bishop Manogue for more than half of the school’s existence — longer than any other faculty member in the school’s history.

Students, alumni, parents, siblings, faculty, staff and the Bishop Manogue family give thanks for Brother Philip and his years of dedicated service.

Sister Mary Luke, O.P.

Sister Mary Luke served Bishop Manogue as a popular science, math and religion teacher from 1959 – 1970. She served Bishop Manogue in administrative posts as well. Sister Mary Luke, now known by her original family name of Sister Kathryn Steeger, remembers Bishop Manogue as a good Catholic school “with a wonderful relaxed feeling.”

Sister Kathryn left Bishop Manogue when she received a National Science Foundation Grant and matriculated at the University of California for teacher training in the experimental “New Physics.” She then taught the subject in both Catholic and public schools in the Bay area as a condition of the grant.

This service was followed by teaching science and art at a Middle school in Stockton, Calif. for approximately six years.

A change in direction then ensued. Sister Kathryn obtained a certificate in the subject of alcohol and substance abuse and addiction, pursuing the certificate in evening studies at Cal State. She then founded a recovery program entitled “House of Hope.” The program served religious nuns who may have succumbed to addiction of prescription medicines and other substances. Sister Kathryn also worked for Horizon Services in Alameda County and continued in this work for some 25 years.

Sister Kathryn Steeger, “Sister Kate,” now resides in the infirmary at Our Lady of Lourdes Dominican convent in San Raphael, Calif. She is quick in repartee with a keen sense of humor.

Reverend Carey Lahrs, SdS

Father Carey Lahrs first taught at Bishop Manogue as a seminarian in the academic year 1968 – 69. After ordination in 1972, the Buffalo New York native returned to Bishop Manogue that fall semester. As a member of the religious order known as the Salvatorians, Father Carey shared in the teaching ministry of the Order. He taught Biology at Bishop Manogue and coached both baseball and football.

When Father Carey left Bishop Manogue in 1986, he journeyed cross country to Columbus, Ga. There he taught at Pacelli High School, named after Pope Pius XII.

After 12 years in Columbus, Father Carey came to Wisconsin in January, 1999 where he transitioned to parish work. First he worked north of Milwaukee in a rural area where he and one other priest served six small country parishes.

After one year in rural Wisconsin, he became pastor of Mother of Good Counsel parish in Milwaukee. He pastored here for eight years, then retired in 2008.

Father Carey has fond memories of Bishop Manogue. When he was in charge of the Drama Club, he enjoyed directing plays including the musical “You’re A Good Man,

Where Are They Now?


Charlie Brown.” He collaborated with Father Ben Williams in this effort.

One of his most memorable moments was when the school won the State of Nevada football championship in the fall of 1982.

Father Carey continues to reside in Milwaukee, the Provincial home of the Salvatorians. He is a Green Bay Packer fan except for the rare occasion when Green Bay plays the Buffalo Bills.

Mr. Ron Geyer

Ron Geyer came to Bishop Manogue at the semester of the academic year 1975 – 76. It was his first teaching position. Mr. Geyer taught Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. In 1983 Mr. Geyer left for a position at Incline Village where he taught for one year, then

moved to Sparks High School from 1984 – 2000 where he taught with Mr. Jim Bryn, current head of the Science Department at Bishop Manogue.

At present Mr. Geyer teaches at North Valleys High School in Reno

While at Bishop Manogue, Mr. Geyer coached football and baseball. One of his happy sports memories was winning the state championship in football when the team was down 13 – 0 to Truckee with only 2 minutes, 28 seconds left to play. Despite the odds, Bishop Manogue prevailed, 14 – 13!

When asked to comment on his experience here, Mr. Geyer replied, “Bishop Manogue was one of the best experiences I have ever had. It was really outstanding! The students, the parents, the faculty were all great. I stayed at Manogue longer than I expected.”

While at Bishop Manogue, Mr. Geyer met and married Manogue language professor Mary Moore.

Mrs. Mary Moore Geyer

Mary Moore Geyer met and married fellow Bishop Manogue faculty member, Ron Geyer, when both served on the faculty at the school. Mrs. Geyer taught languages at Bishop Manogue from 1978 – 1982. When she left Bishop Manogue, she

first worked at the nearby National Judicial College, departing the teaching ranks temporarily. After then working in accounting for the firm Kafoury-Armstrong, Mrs. Geyer moved to the Washoe County School District. She has taught French and Italian at Wooster High School since 1984. She served at Wooster with Mr. Jack Brewer and Mr. Joe Sellers.

When asked about her time at Bishop Manogue, Mary Moore Geyer answered, “I loved it! It was my first teaching position. We were one big family. It was a great first experience. I loved the students. There was much interaction.”

The Bishop Manogue Catholic High School had their annual

fundraiser BASH on Friday, May 7, 2010. The event attracted more than 450 alumni,

current parents, alumni parents, friends, and community members for an evening

of food, fun, and music. This year’s theme was Mardi Gras, and guests were treated

to a fabulous dinner provided by the Eldorado Hotel Casino. Guests bid on trips,

sports memorabilia, dinners, and much more in both the silent and live auctions.

The evening ended with attendees dancing the night away to the popular music of

“Mumbo Gumbo.” The event raised money which benefits enrichments to Bishop

Manogue and the tuition assistance program. The Advancement office thanks the

volunteers who worked hard to make this annual event a success. Save the date for the

2011 BASH dinner which will be held on Friday, May 6.
