Thirty Seniors Named State Scholars
T he Illinois Student Assistance
Commission (ISAC) announced
its recognition of 19,331 high
school students as “Illinois State Scholars
2009”. The students hail from 798 schools
in every corner of Illinois. St. Rita’s Class
of 2009 has 30 Illinois State Scholars out of
a total of 169 senior students.
Illinois State Scholar winners rank in
the top ten percent of high school seniors.
Selection is based on SAT, ACT and/or
Prairie State Achievement Exam scores,
and/or class rank at the end of the junior
year.
“This is the Hall of Fame for Illinois
students,” said ISAC Executive Director
Andrew Davis, whose agency has overseen
the Illinois State Scholars program since
1958. “Illinois State Scholars are among
the best and the brightest in our state’s
high schools. We salute them, along with
their partners in reaching for the stars -
their families and teachers - for this stellar
achievement.”
While the prestigious recognition
does not include a monetary award, win-
ners are encouraged to cite the award on
applications for college admission and
scholarships. And, to celebrate the Golden
Anniversary of the Illinois State Scholars
program, ISAC is giving each awardee a
free, 18-month subscription to Encyclope-
dia Britannica Online.

Joseph J. Jasica Scholarship
Celebrates Artistic Talents
Two students at St. Rita High School were chosen as winners of the Joseph J. Ja-
sica Art Scholarship Competition, and were awarded $500 off the current year’s
tuition. The program, in its second year, was founded by Raymond ’55 and Robert
’57 Jasica, in memory of their brother Joseph, a 1952 graduate. Seen here (left to
right) are: Art Instructor Robyn Kurnat, Karen Omastiak, Vinnie Damato ’12, Au-
gustine Esterhammer-Fic ’09 (winner), Tom Kacor ’12, Mike Golden ’10 (winner),
James Lynch ’11, Jeanine Jasica, and Raymond Jasica ’55.
T he Joseph J. Jasica Art
Scholarship Competi-
tion encourages stu-
dents in Art classes as well as the
entire student body to create
a piece of art that reflects their
personal perspective on the his-
tory of St. Rita High School, or
on the lives of one of the saints,
such as Rita or Augustine.
The winners were an-
nounced at an all-school Mass
on January 9 and the awards
presented by St. Rita Principal
Sally Deenihan, President Fr.
Tom McCarthy, Art teacher
Robyn Kurnat, and scholarship
coordinator Martha Dion. The
other four nominees – Vinnie
Damato ’12 (St. John Fisher),
Tom Kacor ’12 (St. Bede),
James Lynch ’11 (St. Cajetan),
and Sean Esposito ’12 (Fierke)
– were presented with a com-
memorative glass keepsake.
Augustine Esterhammer-
Fic (Clissold) was chosen for
his painting, which was based
on photography taken along
Veritas † Unitas † Caritas
Western Avenue near St. Rita’s
77th Street campus. He said, “I
was trying to represent every-
day life as seen in the commu-
nity surrounding the school.”
He employed significant detail-
ing in pen, and used a layering
technique in which he painted
the background on one sheet
and then overlaid a cutout of
another sheet with the fore-
ground images.
Mike Golden’s (St. John
Fisher) artwork was a colorful
rendering of St. Rita herself, in
her classic serene pose, against
a background image of stained
glass. He chose to leave the
features of her face somewhat
undefined, allowing the viewer
to bring the features into fo-
cus in collaboration with their
own imagination. He also used
sticker-like material to add tex-
ture to his piece. Both of their
pieces were framed, and are
displayed in the Library foyer
along with last year’s winning
submissions.
Creative Writing Class Pals Up
with St. Agnes Students
S t. Rita of Cascia High
School sophomores
who took a Creative
Writing elective in the Fall
Semester had a unique oppor-
tunity to share their linguistic
gifts with a younger genera-
tion, as they participated in
a pen pal program with sec-
ond graders at St. Agnes of
Bohemia School in the Little
Village neighborhood. The
project was spearheaded by
Miss Lauren Condon of St.
Rita and Miss Allie Nowak of
St. Agnes.
“I thought this pen pal
project would be a good op-
portunity for the Rita sopho-
mores in this class to share
St. Rita of Cascia High School sophomore Richie Garcia (St. Mary Star of the Sea)

their writing talents with stu-
dents who are just developing
theirs. Written correspon-
dence has become increasing-
ly informal these days, so we
made sure to focus on techni-
cal aspects of letter writing as
well as encouraging imagina-
tion and style.”
Each Rita sophomore
in the class was paired with
a second grader from St. Ag-
nes, and each pair was given a
notebook they used to write
back and forth all semester.
They exchanged notebooks
once a week in an effort to
get to know each other better.
Additional activities for the
Rita students included mak-
ing word searches. The proj-
ect culminated with the sec-
ond graders taking a field trip
to St. Rita. The student pairs
ate lunch together, worked
on a Christmas project, ex-
changed small gifts, and com-
peted in a trivia contest to see
who knew their teacher bet-
ter. The second graders from
St. Agnes were victorious,
knowing Miss Nowak better
than the Rita students knew
Miss Condon.
The success of this proj-
ect demonstrates that creative
teaching is just as important
as creative writing, as well
as highlights the great things
that happen when young peo-
ple reach out to others in their
community.

Thanksgiving Food Drive

Reminds Us of Our Mission

S t. Rita’s Student Government, under the direction of

Bro. Gary Hresil, O.S.A. ’86, ran another very successful
Thanksgiving Food Drive in November. In the week-
long collection from the student body, faculty, and staff, they
collected 3,745 food items. As an added bonus, the home-
room that collected the most items earned a free dress down
day. Mrs. Mary Albrecht’s sophomore homeroom narrowly
beat out the seniors of Mr. Jerry Pazin ’90.
After sorting and packing the donations, they were de-

St. Baldrick’s Campaign Begins at Hope Hospital

and Pat Elwood of FOX News.

S t. Rita of Cascia High School’s 3rd

annual St. Baldrick’s campaign be-
gan with a visit to Advocate Hope
Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, IL. Over
the past two years, over 250 students have
shaved their heads to raise over $60,000 to
help combat children’s cancer. St. Rita is one
of many Chicagoland schools and business-
es that have answered the FOX News Chal-
lenge to go bald for Baldrick’s.
Nine Ritamen met FOX News’ Pat El-
wood at Hope Hospital recently to take a
tour of the facilities and meet a few very spe-
cial patients. Certified Child Life Specialist
Lisa Boland, who has ten years’ experience
working with child cancer patients at Hope,
gave the students a tour of the recently
opened Keyser Family Pediatric Cancer
Center, pointing out the various ways they
cater specifically to children. Then they had
the special privilege of meeting a brave little
girl named Olivia and her mom Tami. Cute
as a button and charming besides, she used
a specially designed medical doll to show
everyone the kind of procedure she goes
through in her weekly visits to Hope. Olivia
and Tami answered a few questions from El-
wood and succeeded in cracking up the Rita-
men with a few great jokes.
After, several expressed what it meant
to meet Olivia and see the day to day opera-
tions of a cancer care center. Anthony Za-
waski ’10 (St. Germaine) said, “It was a real
eye-opening experience to see that little girl
and what she has gotten used to doing ev-
ery week. So many people take their health
for granted, and this helped me to be more
grateful for mine.” All nine of the Ritamen
in attendance that day pledged to raise dona-
tions and shave their heads at the school’s St.
Baldrick’s event on March 17, and they are
just the beginning of the many students, fac-
ulty, and staff who will be part of this great
cause. A video of their visit and more infor-
mation about the St. Baldrick’s campaign can
be found at www.foxjox.com. And to donate

come together and make this our best year

I t was a sudden shock to

the St. Rita community in
November of 2006 when
Michael Markase, class of
1975, passed away at only 49
years old. To honor Michael’s
memory, his friends and fam-
ily, including Rita classmates
Rodney Petrick and Emil
Selefski and his wife Maureen,
organized several events that
raised money to be contrib-
uted to the scholarship fund
at the high school he loved. In
June of 2007 it was a golf out-
ing held at Carriage Greens in
Darien, IL. Eighty-eight golf-
ers came out on a rainy, cool
day, and 175 attended the din-
ner, which was accompanied
by a silent auction, raffle items,
and split the pot. Altogether
the event raised $23,000 for
the scholarship fund. It was
a huge success for Michael’s
friends and family, who had
little experience in fundraising
events. Maureen said, “I was
so glad that everyone came
together to honor Michael’s
memory. He was a proud St.
Rita alum, and we are happy
to ensure that many more
students can grow to love the
school that he did.”
Then, in October of 2008,
Maureen hosted a wine-tast-
ing event at her home in Woo-
dridge, IL. It was attended

scholarship fund. Chicago
sports tickets were auctioned
off, and Downers Grove Wine
Shop provided wine at a dis-
counted rate and also donated
20 percent of their proceeds
from the party to St. Rita.
Michael Markase was a
loyal member of the St. Rita
family, and it is amazing to
see his family and friends con-
tinue to support the school
in his name. His is one story
among many that tell of the in-
credible work done by alumni,
families, and benefactors of
St. Rita High School to keep
alive the mission of educating

Fall Sports Recap
Cross Country

O ver the Christmas holiday, the St. Rita
Basketball Team traveled to San Di-
ego to participate in the Augustinian
Christmas Tourney, hosted at St. Augustine High
School. The fifth annual event is a gathering of
eight schools of the Augustinian Order from
across North America. Visiting teams included
Malvern Prep (PA), Vil-
lanova Prep (CA), Provi-
dence Catholic (IL), Cas-
cia Hall (OK), St. Thomas
of Villanova (Ontario),
and St. Augustine Prep
(NJ).
Students were housed

Unity, and Love really do permeate all of the Au-

“Everyone at St. Augustine’s was so welcoming,

even better 2009 campaign!
Football
The Mustangs started a great season by defeating
Lakota West in the Kirk Herbstreit Challenge in
Cincinnati, Ohio, and continued their tear through
divisional rivals in the highly competitive Catholic
League Blue, emerging as the champions. They
advanced into the 7A State Playoffs, and fell just
short in the quarterfinal against East St. Louis, an
unfortunate repeat of the 1983 outcome. Many
individuals had stellar seasons, including these
award winners:
2nd Team All Conference: Jahwon Akui, Nicholas
Ardolino, Joseph Campagna, Christopher Chaney,
Lawrence Garrett, Michael Martin, John O'Connor,
and Erik Rickert.
CCL Blue Offensive MVP: Daniel Dispensa.
CCL Blue Defensive MVP: Martin Hopkins.
Golf
Many young golfers improved their game and
lowered their handicap this year. The team placed
4th in the IHSA Regional event at Old Oak Country
Club in Homer Glen. Three individual golfers
qualified for the IHSA Sectionals at Balmoral
Woods. They were Jack Delaney, Ryan Gallagher,
and Tanner Panozzo.
Soccer
The Varsity soccer team was unfortunately
not able to repeat their 2007 Conference
Championship, but the Sophomore team picked
up the slack with their CCL White Championship.
Many individuals were honored at tournaments
throughout the season and in the CCL Conference.
CCL All Conference: Jose Calles, Larry Damico, Kyle
Donahue, and Michael Kinney.

St. Rita went 2-1 in the tournament. They
defeated Villinova Prep in the opening contest
and went on a 12-0 run in the 4th quarter to de-
feat Cascia Hall in an intense battle. Their one loss
came in overtime against Malvern Prep, 61-56.
