SCECINA VETERANS COMMITTEE
Scecina veterans have spent several years raising funds to create a bust of Father Scecina (See “A Labor of Love &
Loyalty” on pages 4-5). In 2014, the Veterans Committee worked with local sculptor Ryan Feeney to create the bust before it was bronzed in January 2015. The final bronze bust will be installed in the school’s rotunda area.
If you are a Scecina alumnus who has served in the military, the committee invites you to join them. They continue to work with the school to develop opportunities for students to honor the brave men and women of our armed forces.
Your help is needed for us to accomplish this mission.
Please visit www.scecina.org/military to complete a questionnaire. For more information about the Scecina
Veterans Committee, contact Walt Linne ’60 at
317.697.4697 or wlinne@iupui.edu, or Tom Griffin ’62 at 317.373.1807 or irishcoltfan44@aol.com.

This special edition of the Father Scecina Magazine focuses on history. History fascinates almost everyone. We love the History
Channel. We love watching movies like “Unbroken” and television documentaries on the Roosevelts. Books like “American Sniper,” recently made into a feature film, fascinate us.
Our new Scecina Story project satisfies our desire to learn about our origins and traditions. More importantly, they inspire us.
I invite each of you to visit the school, see our tributes to Father
Thomas Scecina and the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg on the first floor of the main building and reflect on the stories that are told.
So why do we study history? And why are we making a big deal out of the life and death of Father Scecina, the school’s namesake, and the decades of service from the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg?
After all, Father Scecina never stepped foot on this campus and the
Sisters are no longer here. Why now?
The answers are pretty straightforward, and at Scecina we think history will help our students understand their place as Christians walking in a world of constant change.
The study of history shows us what it means to be human.
Through history we see the good and the bad aspects of humanity. To paraphrase the historian R.G. Collingwood, “History is for human self-knowledge.
The only clue to what women and men can do is what women and men have done.” In telling the stories of
Father Scecina and the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg, we are calling attention to them. Most importantly, we are saying it is possible to live in service to God and others.
History helps us be better citizens. Thomas Jefferson thought history was very important for educating citizens. As citizens, it is important to remember that 1,792 American prisoners of war died on the Arisan Maru at the end of World War II. Father Scecina administered last rites to many U.S. POWs before the ship sank.
He died with them. These men were the heroes of Bataan, Corregidor, and the Philippine campaign.
What does this teach us about being citizens? Freedom is not free.
History helps us see things over time.
It helps us see ourselves as part of something bigger than we are.
For Christians, the Incarnation—Christ coming into the world—is the most important event in human history.
Father Scecina is part of that continuing story. He gave his life for his friends. To recognize his service to God, country and his friends, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis named our high school after him. Over 800 years ago,
St. Francis of Assisi founded the Franciscan movement to follow Christ by living the Gospels. The Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg are part of that story. The Scecina community, all 7,500 plus, are part of these continuing stories.
I am grateful to the sponsors of the Scecina Story project. Without their support we would not be able to tell the stories of Father Scecina and the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg. I also am grateful for the support of the
Scecina Veterans Committee and its efforts to raise money for the bust of Father Scecina. These are your stories, my story, our stories.
God Bless,
Joseph S. Therber

This statement by Teddy Roosevelt captures the inspiration for our Scecina
Story. If you haven’t visited your school in the last six months, you would be surprised by the exciting changes taking place. Years of planning, designing and implementing have culminated in the completion of three new displays on the main level that honor our school’s mission and history.
The seed for this idea was planted in 2006 when the Archdiocese of
Indianapolis was awarded a $5 million grant from the Lilly Endowment for use in urban Catholic schools. Scecina received $1 million from this generous grant for capital improvements. Maribeth (Taylor) Ransel ’61 , then-Scecina President, and Chairman of the Board Phil Kenney developed a plan for renovation of the school’s three hallways and Music Room.
Ransel and Kenney envisioned multiple displays in the school’s public areas that would include images representing Scecina’s past, present and future.
A planning team suggested these images should reflect our Catholic identity and values, our history and traditions, school mission, and our student success stories. The result is an ongoing project known as the Scecina Story.

In the summer of 2014, the first “chapter” of the Scecina Story was installed—a wall display honoring our school’s namesake, Father Thomas Scecina . This display includes photos of Father Tom and his family, artifacts from his military service, and a biography of his inspiring life and legacy. Father Tom’s chapter is located just east of the rotunda, which has been renovated to feature a bronze bust commissioned by the Scecina Veterans Committee and sculpted by Eastside native Ryan Feeney . The result is a beautiful tribute to Father Tom and his life of service to
God and our country.
Since our doors opened in 1953 until 2010, the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg served as teachers, administrators, counselors and support staff. These dedicated servant-leaders enriched the lives of thousands of Crusaders with faithfulness, grace and good humor. This second
“chapter” is an homage to these inspiring women whose influence continues to bless our school culture and our many alumni.
The Sisters of Saint Francis wall, located just west of the rotunda, was completed in early
November 2014. This display includes a history of the Sisters of Saint Francis
Oldenburg, a listing of the Sisters who ministered at Scecina, and pictures of some of the Sisters in action at school.
Father Thomas John Scecina
Born to George and Anna Scecina on September 16, 1910, Thomas John Scecina (Father Tom) was the fourth of five sons. He was reared in the town of Linton (in southwestern Indiana). Bishop Joseph
Ritter ordained Thomas Scecina a priest of the Diocese of Indianapolis on June 11, 1935.
Father Tom then served as Associate Pastor of Holy Trinity Parish on the westside of Indianapolis, earned a degree in Canon Law from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D. C., and served as Associate Pastor of Saint John the Evangelist Parish in downtown Indianapolis.
To serve God and his beloved country, Father Tom enlisted in the Chaplain Reserve Corps of the
United States Army on October 5, 1939. Father Tom was assigned to the 57th Infantry Division at
Fort Luzon in the Philippine Islands during World War II and rose to the rank of Captain.
Father Tom’s military ministry touched countless lives during his service in the Philippines.
Day after day, he consoled American and Filipino soldiers and families, stood in the line of fire to tend to soldiers’ physical and spiritual needs, helped move orphans to safety, and said daily Mass for everyone, including the soldiers who could be briefly spared from the battle lines.
The Battle of Bataan in the Philippines resulted in the infamous Bataan Death March in 1942, when the Japanese Imperial Army forcibly transferred more than 60,000 captured soldiers to a prison camp.
Father Tom endured excruciating pain and humiliation during this 80-mile march, during which the
Japanese army beat, starved, and even murdered prisoners. After the war, an Allied Forces military commission declared the Bataan Death March a war crime.
Father Tom survived the Bataan Death March and then endured two years of imprisonment in a
Prisoner of War camp. In October, 1944, the Japanese decided to transport a group of prisoners to work in Japanese mines. Although weak from torture and hunger, Father Tom freely elected to make this fated journey so that he could minister to his fellow soldiers’ spiritual needs.
The Arisan Maru was the Japanese ship that transported Father Tom and approximately 1,800 fellow
Prisoners of War. The ship was considered a “hell ship,” known for horrible living conditions and cruelty from the crew. Disregarding the rules of war, the Japanese did not mark the Arisan Maru as a Prisoner of War ship.
Tragically, a United States Navy submarine fired upon the unmarked Arisan Maru on October 24, 1944.
As the ship sank, the Japanese took all life boats and life preservers and locked down the exits from the ship. Over three hours, the Arisan Maru sank and nearly 1,800 soldiers awaited their inevitable and horrible deaths at sea.
Father Tom chose to hear confessions, give absolution, and provide consolation to his friends until the ship completely sank. At the age of 34, Father Tom went to his death with his men.
Father Thomas John Scecina was officially declared dead by the War Department on June 16, 1945.
He posthumously received the Purple Heart, Silver Star Medal with one Oak Leaf Cluster, and
Bronze Star Medal.
Since 1953, Scecina Memorial High School has educated students to give all that they can and to then, in the words and spirit of Father Thomas Scecina, “Give that Little Extra.”
The Father Thomas Scecina wall of the Scecina Story project features two 4' x 2' photos of the Archdiocesan priest—one in his clerical collar (left) and one in his army chaplain uniform (right). Also featured on the wall are a biography panel (center), photos of his family, and artifacts from his military service.
The main entrance and east gym lobby provide the backdrop for the third “chapter” of the Scecina Story. All who enter are welcomed by our school’s inspiring mission statement and an invitation to become part of the Scecina Story.
Future chapters of the Scecina Story will celebrate our student and alumni successes, chronicle our graduating classes with composites of student photos, express our Catholic identity and presence on the Eastside of Indianapolis, and much more. We hope you are able to stop by the school and experience the first three chapters of the Scecina Story. n

Scecina alumni who are military veterans went “a little extra” to make sure Father Thomas Scecina’s service to his country would be honored at his namesake school.
The veterans spent several years talking and raising the funds to create a bust of Father Scecina. The now-finished bust will take its special place of honor in the school’s rotunda as part of the Scecina Story on the walls of the school’s halls.
It was the veterans who made it happen: veterans like Walter Linne ‘60 , retired Air Force veteran, who didn’t want
Father Scecina’s military story to be forgotten. He remembered being told that Father Scecina always did a little extra in his service to others as a priest and chaplain and as a captain in the U.S. Army. “The first day of school when I was a freshman at Scecina we were told to go a little extra because that’s what Father Tom did,” Linne said. “So that’s what we wanted to do in creating this bust, we wanted to go a little extra for Father Tom.” “We wanted to do this to give glory to the school,” said another Veterans Committee member, Tom Griffin ’62 , an Air Force veteran.
Linne said hearing about Father Tom’s military service when he was a freshman cemented his ties to Scecina immediately.
“I had a connection right there, because I lost my dad in World War II, and I had a classmate who lost his dad,” said
Linne. “That phrase—giving a little extra—that carried us as Scecina grads. Father Scecina did not need to volunteer to go (on the Japanese POW transport ship), but he did.” Linne said he gets emotional thinking about Father Scecina tending to the men aboard the Arisan Maru as it sunk. “He was giving absolution and all that. It’s giving me goose bumps. The chaplains had to take care of themselves plus everyone else,” he said.
Father Scecina was among the 1,792 military prisoners who perished when the ship went down in 1944. Only eight survived.
Linne and Griffin credit the late John Edson ’65 , and a Marine veteran, for pushing the plan for the Father Scecina bust forward. “John was probably one of the more vocal people about this,” Linne said. “He said, ‘Let’s get together and let’s talk about getting something done.’ “ John died in October 2006, and his wife, Rita (Dichmann) Edson ’67 , took up the cause too. “The veterans have really taken this over, and their hearts are really into paying tribute to Father Tom’s military service, as well as his service as a priest,” said Rita Edson.
The Veterans Committee reached out to other Scecina veterans and raised $20,000 to pay for the bust. The fundraising is now moving into the second stage and will give additional veterans and friends the opportunity to raise $20,000 more to complete the project. Col. Dan Bruno ’77 has agreed to volunteer his time and talent to help the school in this phase.
Col. Bruno served as Garrison Commander at the United States Military Academy at West Point before retiring from the
Army. He is now chief operating officer for Duke Health Technology Solutions at Duke University Health System.
Indianapolis firefighter and artist Ryan Feeney sculpted the bust. Feeney created the “Peace Dove” sculpture, a memorial to Marion County homicide victims at the Central Library. After Feeney’s Father Scecina sculpture was made into a mold, it was cast into bronze at Sincerus Bronze Art Center on the Eastside, owned by Steve Giese .
Feeney said creating a likeness of Father Scecina was a challenge because he did not have many photos to work with.
He was pleased with the finished bust. “I love it,” Feeney said. “I like all the insignia on the stole, and all the detail.”
The veterans had paid special attention to Father Scecina’s clothing for the bust. “We went to the Army historical society, and the director sent us a picture of him in fatigues and his stole, with his cross on one side and his rank of captain on the other,” Linne said.
Rita Edson and Tom Griffin were thrilled to be present in January for the pouring of the bronze into the bust mold, and later for the finishing patina work. They could see their dream finally coming alive. “It was just the whole process of seeing something that started out as this little plan being solid now,” Rita said.
“I can’t wait for the day it’s unveiled,” said Griffin. n

“It can be said…that in the shadows of American history…there are stories about women pioneers that have never been told. “ This is an excerpt from the documentary in production by Ever Film
Productions owned by Andy (Jeannine Andersen) Murphy ’60 (photo, left) . “In the Garden of
Innocents…” is being filmed to tell one such story about a courageous 24-year-old woman who crossed an ocean alone to answer America’s call for help. The film is narrated by Indianapolis TV news anchor Debby Knox .
Although Sister Theresa Hackelmeier lived only nine years after arriving in Oldenburg, Ind., in 1851, she left a legacy that will never be duplicated. This documentary is about courage, faith and a belief in serving others.
It traces a remarkable woman’s journey, and the journey of those who would follow in her footsteps for generations. Their little-known yet astounding accomplishments are illustrated in the documentary, which shares their stories, their joys, their visions, their sacrifices and their secrets.
Sister Theresa Hackelmeier left her convent in Vienna, Austria, in 1851, to travel across a rough winter Atlantic Ocean to New York City. From there she proceeded down the Erie Canal and the Ohio River to an American wilderness in Oldenburg, a town not even recorded on any map at the time.

Her mission was to teach the children in this small but growing settlement of German farmers to read and write, and to develop a curriculum for educating the mostly illiterate population of immigrants who were beginning to settle in the Midwestern United States. In addition to the school, Sister Theresa was charged with establishing a convent for women who wanted to enter the Franciscan Order, as well as developing a teaching academy for young women.
She did all this and much more.
Sister Theresa’s story and courageous spirit set the stage for a 163-year legacy of remarkable accomplishments that today can be traced across the world. The Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg have provided over 160 years of unselfish service in teaching, caregiving, administration and community service throughout the United States, as well as carrying out ministries in China, Korea, Mexico and New Guinea. Their story transcends the rich and poor, rural and urban communities, nationalities and cultures, and appeals to all age groups.
The documentary includes interviews with many of the Sisters, who range in age from 50 to over 90, as they tell their individual stories. They discuss their lives both before and after joining the convent. Interviews are also included with people who were taught by the Sisters, with people who were helped by the Sisters in some special way, and with people who interacted with the Sisters, either as fellow educators, professional associates or community leaders.
The documentary shows the places where the Sisters spent much of their time in their ministry. These areas include the beautiful and historic buildings and grounds in Oldenburg, Marian University and, of course, Scecina Memorial
High School.
The documentary seeks to tell their story, to honor these remarkable women by giving some insight into their amazing accomplishments and to show their influence on the education and spiritual and personal growth of children and young adults. It also recognizes their outstanding contributions, commitment and dedication to the Catholic Church and to the people and communities they served.
For those of us who were fortunate enough to have been taught by, or who have been involved with, the Sisters through professional, community or family associations, we have a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the legacy and preserve the memory of the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg.

The Crusader Community knows head football coach Ott Hurrle ’70 as a person of integrity and quality and a longtime servant-leader of students, athletes and colleagues at Scecina Memorial High School.
Now we know that others in the football world throughout the country share our regard for the coach as he is the 2014 Power of
Influence award winner, given jointly by the American Football Coaches
Association and American Football Coaches Foundation.
Hurrle is the first coach from Indiana to win this award since it was initiated in 2002. He was honored during the AFCA convention on
January 13, surrounded by family, Scecina colleagues and former classmates and players who drove to Louisville to watch the special ceremony and hear Hurrle’s speech to the gathering. Hurrle said five of his six siblings and 10 nephews and nieces were present at the award ceremony.
“It’s the only national award I’ve ever won, so that makes it pretty special,”
Hurrle said. “What also makes it special is that I was nominated by the
Indiana Football Coaches Association, and there are so many good qualified coaches here in Indiana to choose from.”
The Power of Influence award was created to recognize a high school coach for his impact on his team and players, as well as the legacy he leaves with the school and community. “This award is not based on wins and losses; however, it is noted that coaches of powerful influence have longevity and success,” according to the AFCA website.

It is the first AFCA award specifically designed to honor a high school coach. Hurrle previously had been a finalist for the award. Hurrle started as an assistant at Scecina in 1974 under head coach Kenneth Leffler , became head coach in 1988 and then spent three years as defensive coordinator at Butler University in the 1990s, later returning to Scecina.
He won Class 2A state championships with Scecina in 1990 and ‘91 and also took the Crusaders to state title games in 2011 and ‘12.

“Coaching is a noble profession, which I believe attracts people who care, on a daily basis, about the young student-athletes with whom they come into contact,” Hurrle told the AFCA.
“It requires the best you have every single day.”

Power of Influence Award (opposite page, top photo) ;

Hurrle has enjoyed much success on the football field over 40 years of coaching and won many awards for football.
But the AFCA noted his impact on community in choosing Hurrle for the Power of Influence honor. One of the many examples provided in Hurrle’s nomination by the Indiana association is how he reached out to a student who lost his parents. And he obviously has touched many other lives.
“Ott’s success comes as no surprise, and is well founded and earned,” John Gudas ’64 and former Crusader football, baseball and basketball player, commented on Scecina’s website.
“Coach Ott is such a strong leader and influence on all those Crusaders young and old,” wrote Jim Galbo ’64 .
“His best role models were his parents. I had the privilege of knowing them both as a young person growing up with Ott’s older brother. The Hurrles know what service and paying it forward is about. Congratulations, Ott, on a very deserving award. Thanks for leading the Crusaders.”
“Coach Hurrle instilled in me accountability, discipline and great work ethic which has carried over to my everyday life,”
Donald Winston ’96, 1995 Indiana Mr. Football nominee for Scecina, told the AFCA. Hurrle said he is thankful to know his work has left such an impression on the Crusader Community, so much that he’s getting recognized beyond Indiana’s borders. “I guess it brings back that thought that you don’t think about it while you’re coaching, but you never know how people are going to remember you,” Hurrle said. n

The 2014 Father Tom Day celebration was particularly special when The Most Reverend Joseph W. Tobin, C. Ss. R.,
Archbishop of Indianapolis, led the Scecina community in Mass concelebrated by East Deanery pastors, associate pastors and other priests who have served at Scecina Memorial. Not only were Scecina students, faculty and staff present, but also many others from the Scecina Community: alumni; parents; grandparents; principals and teachers from the East
Deanery schools; nearly 200 future Scecina Memorial students from the East Deanery schools; representatives of the
Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg; Scecina Board of Directors; Archdiocese of Indianapolis leaders, and U.S. military veterans. After Mass, President Joe Therber presented the Father Tom Scecina
Award to Father Bob Gilday , pastor at Little Flower, for representing the values
of Father Thomas Scecina, placing a high degree of importance on Scecina
Memorial High School in his life, and for “giving that little extra” through the years.
Father Bob is an alumnus of Little Flower Catholic School and a leader in the
East Deanery. “His gifts of time and talent through his insights and ideas about
Catholic education have been very helpful to us during the last 10 years,” said President Therber at this year’s presentation. “He cares deeply about students’ growth and well-being, primarily their spiritual and moral development. As pastor of Little Flower Parish, he is a strong Scecina supporter and a spiritual leader for his parishioners and school students.
During his time as pastor, Little Flower Parish has developed and sustained a number of important ministries. A member of our Board of Directors, he gives freely of his time and offers very constructive advice, questions, and suggestions.”
We thank Father Bob for his dedication to Scecina Memorial, Little Flower
Parish, and the Catholic community on the Eastside of Indianapolis. n

Remember that popular U.S. Army recruiting slogan, “Be All That
You Can Be”? The Army used it for over 20 years. That’s a good long run. For over 60 years, Scecina Memorial High School has encouraged all students to develop their God-given talents to the fullest, to be all that they can be.
Teachers and staff are focused on the success of each student in school and preparing them for success later in life, whatever path they choose. “We want students to attain educational excellence, be lifelong learners, and start living as servant leaders,” explained
President Joe Therber . “To do that in four years is very challenging in today’s world. That’s why we have assembled a top-notch team of guidance professionals to complement what is happening in our classrooms.”
Front Row (L-R): Jeremy Corn, Kalynn Huntoon, Therese Joyce.
Back Row: Tracy Foor, Bridget Zobel, Michelle Woodward.
Principal John Hegarty added, “Our guidance team is committed to the success of every student. It is fantastic to see them working together to provide students with the help they need, whether that be dealing with personal issues, learning differences, planning a career, or finding a college.”
Academic Performance
Kalynn Huntoon, MS six-person team.

“I love working with students. I learn every day from them and hopefully they learn from me, too! Every day is different.
I love that I don’t do the same thing day in and day out.”
She also meets with grade 9-11 students regarding academics. “I hope to be able to help our students improve their grades if they are struggling. I’ve always had a passion for helping students with study skills and test-taking anxiety,” she said.
best for my daughters and want people around them who are encouraging them to be their best and to do their best.” She added, “I feel as if all students at Scecina are sort of an extension of my own family, wanting and willing them to be their best.” She offered this advice for parents, “Be involved, ask your student what he or she is learning in class and be supportive of his or her activities, be it football or the baking club.”
The goal is to get the students to graduation and beyond.
“Once they reach their senior year they have a counselor to help them with college planning or a career after high school, wherever their path should take them. Parents should not be afraid to ask for help with their student’s academics. Our teachers have tutoring hours either before or after school and there are plenty of resources to help their student succeed.” She summed up,
“We are definitely here for students.”
Personal Issues
Bridget Zobel, LCSW , is the school’s Social Worker. She has been helping teens deal with issues for years. She has seen and heard it all. “I love helping students solve their problems. I want them to have the problem-solving and coping skills that they can use all of their lives,” she said.
Students are referred to her from the guidance staff, others in administration and teachers. She noted that students can refer themselves. She wants parents to know that they also can refer their child to her.
Tracy Foor, Registrar, is responsible for maintaining students’ past and present records. She also reports data to the Indiana Department of Education.

Shelley Woodward, MS, NCC , is the Testing and Special
Education Coordinator. She is in charge of coordinating all school standardized testing (AP, ECA, SAT, PSAT), and she is in charge of completing the initial testing process to identify students with learning differences.

“I have always had a passion for testing and assessment. Identifying student needs is a top priority for me. I love the chance to develop a plan to help a struggling student be successful.
It is very fulfilling,” she said. “I strive to help identify each student who requires additional learning support in the form of a formal education plan.“ If parents think their child may have a learning issue, she wants them to know that it is not uncommon and help is available.
Career and College Counseling
Jeremy Corn, MS, NCC , is the Career Counselor.
“I enjoy the variety that comes along with the job. A counselor gets to complete many different tasks throughout the school year and also gets to deal with a wide range of situations. Every day is different.” He added, “I get to assist students in achieving their goals and to assist in connecting them to the next path in their lives. The vast majority of students will make a successful transition from high school to their next personal endeavor. That’s exciting to see.” He noted that there are many things that change for students throughout high school. He encourages parents to stay involved and aware of what’s going on with their student’s academic career.
Therese Joyce has been the College Counselor at Scecina for four years. She has loved talking to our students about planning for their next steps after they leave Scecina. Therese, an attorney, recently accepted a position at the NCAA as assistant director of High School Review and we wish her well in her new endeavor. Jeremy will become the interim College Counselor to ensure a smooth transition.
Therese leaves with some special advice to parents: make your student own the college search and planning process. The student, not the parent, is the one going to college. “Make sure you are helping your student become independent to ensure the best possible success after high school,” she remarked.
New Offices and Technology
The Guidance Department recently moved into new office space. Construction of Phase 1 of a comprehensive Guidance Center was completed as part of our Facility Master Plan. The new office space is located on the southwest corner of the main floor of the school. n
David Dellacca
Over the past two years, the Scecina Memorial Technology
Committee and many other people have been instrumental in laying the foundation for a new technology era at Scecina.
This era has begun in earnest with President Joe Therber’s announcement that David Dellacca has been hired to serve as the school’s first Vice President of Technology.
“David’s Catholic faith, his experience, and his collaborative style make him an excellent fit for this newly created administrative position within our school,” said President Therber.
His robust background and set of experiences in educational technology include: l
State of Indiana K-12 education license in School
Media Services l
Master of Science degree from Ball State University in Information and Communication Sciences l
Owner of First Wave Technology Solutions l
Teacher at the McKenzie Center for Innovation and Technology for M.S.D. of Lawrence Township l
Associate Professor at IUPUI l
Dean of Information Technology at Harrison College l
Network Administrator for Beech Grove City Schools.
David also has a strong familiarity with Scecina Memorial High
School through his recent volunteer work with the school’s
Technology Committee. He has served alongside Board member Rick Pfleger and alumnus Jeff McMahon ‘80 as
Vice Chair of the committee since its inception in 2012. This committee has been actively engaged during Strategic Growth
Planning and during the first year of the plan’s implementation.

The Indiana State Board of Education has awarded Scecina
Memorial High School with an “A” letter grade, the state’s highest academic rating.
The state reviews the academic growth of a school’s students and the school’s graduation rates, as well as college and career readiness, in making its assessment.
“I am so proud of the students, their families, faculty, staff and administrators at Scecina who worked so hard to achieve this rating,” said President Joe Therber . “Everyone was involved.
And I am grateful to the alumni who have supported the school with their gifts of time, talent and treasure.”
The state started issuing the A-F letter grades in 2010-11 to improve transparency about school performance so that parents and community members could gauge how well schools are educating children.
Kelsey Abelein , Scecina’s Director of Enrollment Management, said that “being an “A” rated school just reaffirms something that we, at Scecina, already know and what we want to convey to the community.”
Scecina is a high-quality, college-preparatory school attracting some of the best students from our East Deanery
Partner Schools and 60 other schools in the Greater Indianapolis area. Continuing to receive an “A” rating assures prospective parents and students that Scecina will provide them with high-quality academics. “The ‘A’ rating is proof of the opportunities for students to excel throughout their high school careers here at Scecina,” said Abelein.
The Crusader Community of students, faculty, parents and alumni is over 7,500 persons strong. President Therber encourages every member of the Crusader Community to share the news of the school’s “A” rating. “Every Crusader should be proud of this achievement. Let’s spread the news far and wide,” he said. n
Alison Bachus ’15 was awarded the Emerald Society Scholarship by the Indianapolis
Firefighters Emerald Society Chapter. President Rob Field ’82 presented the $1,000 scholarship to Alison, a deserving student, who “is loyal, proud, and goes above and beyond for her school, much like in the image of firefighters, who go above and beyond for others.”
Alison, an Our Lady of Lourdes graduate, comes from a lineage of Scecina alumni, including parents Kevin ’80 and Mary (Shackelford) Bachus ’82 and sisters
Kaleigh (Bachus) Day ’06 and Courtney Bachus ’08 .
Alison is very involved at Scecina. She is a member of National Honor Society, participates in A Promise to Keep and the spring musical, and competes in swimming, cross country, and track. Alison has applied to St. Mary’s of Notre Dame, Purdue University and Marian
University with hopes to major in nursing or criminal justice, depending on where she decides to attend.
The Indianapolis Firefighters Emerald Society chapter was established in 1994 and has about 340 members throughout the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The mission of the Emerald Society of Indianapolis “is to provide a fraternal organization and a benevolent society for the firefighters of Marion and surrounding counties who share a common bond, ‘firefighting related interest,’ that wish to continue the fine traditions that have made firefighting what it is today.”

Our vision for Scecina Memorial High School is “Welcoming all who desire our Catholic education. We are the school of choice for students and families seeking unique moments to learn, grow and go forth to transform the world inspired by the light of Christ,” says President Joe Therber . “Every day we pursue this vision.
I think that our Office of Enrollment Management has made a great leap forward by welcoming new leadership this fall.”
Kelsey Abelein is the new Director of Enrollment Management.
She began in this role in July 2014 after an extensive search to recruit the ideal candidate to welcome future Crusader families as they apply for admission to Scecina.
Kelsey Abelein (L) and Cari Gallagher ’93
Kelsey comes to Scecina from Providence Cristo Rey High School in Indianapolis, where she worked in the Enrollment Office as part of an internship through AmeriCorps. After her AmeriCorps service, she taught Catholic Theology at Providence
Cristo Rey. Ultimately, her desire to return to admissions and enrollment led her to Scecina.
Kelsey, a native of Rochester, N.Y., attended Our Lady of Mercy High School, an all-girls Catholic high school, before moving on to Assumption College, a Catholic college in Massachusetts. She pursued her love of education, sports and leadership at Assumption College, where she played soccer, and participated in leadership groups such as the Student
Athletic Advisory Committee and Phi Alpha Theta. She graduated from Assumption in 2011 with a degree in history and secondary education. Kelsey then joined AmeriCorps, which prompted her 2012 move to the Indianapolis area.
She lives in the Broad Ripple area and is a parishioner at Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Joining Kelsey in the Office of Enrollment Management is Scecina graduate Cari (Roembke) Gallagher ‘93 . Cari began work in a dual role at Scecina in November 2013. As the Enrollment Management and Athletics Assistant, she supports enrollment management and athletic activities. In the Athletic Department, Cari supports Jason Kehrer ’88 , athletic director, and Scecina’s coaching staff.
Cari is a familiar face to Scecina families. She has been coaching the Crusader cheerleaders since 2011. She accepted her current position after retiring from the dental field after 16 years. She has a degree in dental hygiene from the
Indiana University School of Dentistry. She often can be seen at Scecina events supporting her daughter Elizabeth ’15 and son AJ ’18 . Cari and her husband, Tim Gallagher ’93 , also are parents of two future Crusaders, Maggie ’22 and
Nate ’25 . The Gallaghers are members of Holy Name of Jesus parish.
Kelsey and Cari work hard to recruit, enroll and retain students from a variety of schools throughout the Indianapolis area. Scecina currently serves students and families from 60 elementary and middle schools. Kelsey noted, however, that “Students from our Catholic partner grade schools — Holy Cross, St. Philip Neri, Little Flower, Our Lady of Lourdes,
Holy Spirit, and St. Michael — are and will continue to be the core of our enrollment. These students are very important to us.”
Cari believes the key is to make students and families feel engaged in the Crusader Community right from the beginning.
“We strive to communicate with and plan events for students as young as third and fourth grade. It is our hope that they will feel connected to, and part of, the Scecina family so that when they choose their high school, Scecina is the next natural step,” she said.
Admitting students to Scecina, however, is not the final goal. It is equally important to ensure that every student feels welcome and is successful at Scecina, and then graduates as a morally, spiritually and academically prepared servant leader in the footsteps of Father Thomas Scecina. n

Dear Friends of Scecina,
As you’ve read through the pages of this special edition of Father
Scecina Magazine, you’ve seen how remaining in touch with our past helps us have a clear vision for who we are and where we want to go.
The Board of Directors keeps its eye on the past, present and future to chart a path that will continue the Scecina Story for years to come.
Our Strategic Growth Plan, approved by the Archdiocese of Indianapolis in
November 2013, gives us a shared vision for moving forward.
This theme of honoring our history is tied to our Strategic Growth Plan. One of our goals was to design a visual tribute in the main school hall to celebrate Father Thomas
Scecina’s inspiring life and death. Thanks to the hard work and perseverance of our
Veterans Committee, alumni, other donors and staff, this goal is now a reality.
We’re also strengthening our connections with the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg.
The new wall to the west of the Father Scecina tribute accomplishes this goal by telling the history of the Sisters of Saint Francis Oldenburg, and the many Sisters who ministered and labored here at Scecina. These recent additions to our school bring the Catholic faith even more to life for students, staff and visitors.
In this issue, you’ll see how we are progressing with other Strategic Growth Plan goals.
Again, the efforts of many have brought us this far.
As Chairman of the Board, I sincerely thank all of you. Your financial and moral support, as well as your prayers, keep the Scecina Story relevant today and for the future as we fulfill our mission to help students attain educational excellence, be lifelong learners, and live as servant-leaders in the inspiring footsteps of Father Thomas Scecina.
Thank you, and Go Crusaders!

1923-2014
“When the end comes, I want peace and quiet so I’m ready to meet my God.” Sister Carmen de Barros, O.S.F., wrote these words about her preferences for the time of her death.
They were fulfilled as, surrounded by many who loved her, she very quietly, peacefully, took her last breath on
Tuesday evening, June 3, 2014. Hearing her final “si,” the God whom she loved and had served for 91 years, welcomed her to her eternal home.
1913-2014
Sister Laurencia Listerman, O.S.F., began her new eternal life on November 20, 2014 at the age of 101. Sister
Laurencia taught at Scecina from 1956-1963 and again from 1969-1975.
Sister Carmen de Barros, was born in Havana, Cuba, in
1923. Carmen was just 5 years old when her father died, leaving her mother and extended family to raise Carmen and her younger brother. Carmen was offered a scholarship and moved to the United States in 1940, becoming one of the first international students at Marian College in Indianapolis. Carmen entered the Sisters of Saint
Francis Oldenburg, professing her final vows on August 12,
1951. Sister Carmen spent 43 years in Catholic schools in
Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, teaching Spanish, biology and religion as well as serving as a school counselor. While teaching at Scecina Memorial from 1954-1967, and again from 1975-1977, she was lovingly nicknamed
“Sister Pancho” by her students.
Following her ministry in Catholic education, Sister Carmen founded the Casa Franciscana de Alegria in Chicago in
1988. She ministered at the Casa for 14 years and then retired to the motherhouse. Sister Carmen served faithfully as a Sister of Saint Francis for 69 years before her death on June 3, 2014.
Helen Listerman, the fourth of five children, was born on
April 25, 1913, to Henry and Helen Listerman. She graduated from St. Clement Elementary School in 1927 and from Our
Lady of Angels High School in 1931. In September of 1931, she became the first graduate of Our Lady of Angels to enter the community of the Sisters of Saint Francis.
Sister Laurencia served for 12 years as an elementary teacher, parish organist and choir director, and the next 37 years were spent teaching high school English and journalism at St. Mary Academy (Indianapolis) from 1949-
1956 and 1975-1977; Scecina Memorial High School from
1956-1963 and 1969-1975; Immaculate Conception
Academy (Oldenburg) from 1963-1969; and Our Lady of Angels (St. Bernard, Ohio) from 1977-1984.
When she retired to the motherhouse in 1984, she delighted in sharing life with the other Sisters.
Sister Laurencia was on a never-ending quest to be a learner throughout her life and was always interested in making life better, more interesting and more challenging for the other Sisters. She read continuously, was always open to attending lectures and workshops, and was eager to supply her friends and students with books and articles that would enhance their lives.
In her memorial letter, Sister Maureen Irvin, O.S.F., wrote,
“Carmen is no doubt asking “the Lady,” Mary of Guadalupe, to intercede for our community, her family and for all those in need. She is probably speaking Spanish with anyone who will listen. And we know she is enjoying the wonderful peace and quiet of union with her God.”
Sister Lavonne Long, O.S.F.

Sister Constance Smith, O.S.F. died peacefully on February 1, 2014.
Constance attended Catholic schools all her life and was taught by the Sisters of Saint Francis from first grade through college.
After graduating from high school, she enrolled at Marian College
(now Marian University).
She spent two years at Marian and worked at a drug store in Cincinnati before she entered the Community on September 15, 1942.
After entrance, Constance began her teaching career in grade school and attended Marian on weekends and during the summer.
She received her bachelor’s degree in 1948 and her master of science degree from Xavier University in 1959. She also studied at Cornell University and frequently participated in National
Science Foundation programs at various colleges and universities.
She taught mathematics and science at Scecina from 1962-1966.

Executive Producer | WISH-TV
B.A. in Telecommunications (News) | Ball State University
Chris Wilson ‘02 has a dream job that everyone wishes they had.
In his important and challenging role at WISH-TV 8 in Indianapolis,
Chris oversees all the activities of “Daybreak,” the station’s morning show, a responsibility that includes the direction and coordination of a team of producers, photographers, news anchors, reporters and meteorologists.
Chris’ first two loves always have been communications and music.
At Scecina, he had the opportunity to explore these two areas of interest, and made long-lasting friendships in the process.
The academic offerings, the nurturing environment and encouragement of the Scecina community enabled Chris to pursue and achieve his career goals and dreams in network broadcasting.
“Scecina gave me a well-rounded high school experience. The close-knit Scecina community provided the perfect blend of fun and motivation to work hard,” Chris said. “My closest friends today are the friends I met at Scecina. The times I spent with them are what
I remember most. From lunch, to euchre games, to plays and musicals, and cheering on the football team, we grew up together.”
Chris realized early in his Scecina experience that he would have to put forth the extra effort to achieve his goals. Scecina taught him that worthwhile accomplishments require dedication, commitment and hard work. Relative to the development of a strong value system, Chris says, “Scecina inspired selflessness.
You always knew someone had your back. We are always encouraged to ‘give that little extra’.”
Chris believes that Scecina has many advantages over other schools. Academic expectations as well as personal conduct requirements are high. Everyone within the Scecina community has the same primary goal, and that is for every student to succeed.
Chris also believes that Scecina provided a unique opportunity for his personal growth. Coming to Scecina, Chris was somewhat shy and reserved and not into sports. However, owing to the nurturing and supportive environment, he was able to step out of his comfort zone, and pursue his areas of interest. This led to Chris’ enrolling in
Media/Telecommunications/Broadcasting at Ball State University.
And, of course, eventually to Chris’ “dream” job. n

Prayers are offered for David Renn ’60 , father of Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Officer
Perry Renn, who was shot and killed when responding to a report of shots fired on July 5,
2014. Officer Renn was a U.S. Army veteran and had served with the IMPD for 22 years.
Sandra Stack-Reeves ’61 reports, “We moved to Florida in 1961 and lived there until 1972.
We then followed my husband’s career to
South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia and retired back to Florida in 2003. I was mostly a stay-at-home mom until our sons left for college and then started my own antique shop in Fredericksburg, Va., Richmond, Va., and Charlottesville, Va., for several years until we returned to Florida in 2003. We know many wonderful people here and live as active a life as health will allow. My husband had two strokes just prior to retirement from the Federal Reserve in 2003 and was then diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2004.
All things considered, we live a very busy life.
We have two sons, one in Atlanta and one in
Colorado, and three fabulous grandchildren.”
Pat Catterson ’64 staged four dance works by Yvonne Rainer with 12 dancers in London for a performance/exhibit at Raven Row
