Career Day Over 68 alumni were on campus giving insight into more than 48 careers at our annual Career Day. Students attended three 25-minute sessions. Ryan O’ Connor ’19 said “Career Day provided many opportunities to help each student for their future. Throughout the day we were given advice and professional tips for choosing not only a career, but a vocation.” Director of Alumni Scott Corrente ’83 welcomed alumni in the Library before they headed to their classrooms. Speakers spoke about the importance of balancing a career with a home life. It was also a day for these professionals to reminisce and remember why they chose their career path or how they inspired former students to go into the same field as they did. In addition to the sessions, other alumni speakers met individually with seniors to share in-depth information about their careers.

Alumni Day at Tulane Scott Corrente ’83 and Principal Ryan Gallagher ’00 recently visited Crusader alumni currently attending Tulane University in late January. They spoke about college readiness and “life after high school graduation”. Juancarlos Torres II ’16, commented that “not only did the teachers at Brother Martin teach us the curriculum, but were tremendous role models.” Torres is currently majoring in cell and molecular biology. Ryan Gallagher ’00 enjoyed the opportunity to reminisce his time at Tulane where he earned both his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees. Ryan reflected that “with the exception of watching our current students on a daily basis excel both inside and outside of the classroom, nothing is more rewarding than hearing from our
recent graduates about how prepared they feel after having left Brother Martin as they attack their next challenges – socially, spiritually, and academically. It is so rewarding to see our young men in action as our recent alums grow into mature young men who are indeed learning how to make a life – one of service, scholarship, and stewardship.” In addition, the Crusader presence is very strong on Tulane’s campus as many alumni are involved with their majors in digital media, finance, engineering and extracurricular clubs. As a thank you for visiting, the young alumni received various Brother Martin gift items and information on upcoming opportunities to get involved with the alumni association.

St. Aloysius Century Foundation Campaign to Benefit Brother Martin High School Phase III Attention … Attention for Announcements, Please! Ah,yes, daily announcements after 5th period. We remember them well. Our Brother Martin memories are unique to each of us, but what we all share in common is our time together in the Mall. We gathered in the Mall at the beginning of each new school year for orientation. We met at our table on Monday mornings to talk about the past weekend. We ate lunch in the Mall (if it were Wednesday and you’re young enough to remember you ate crispitos). We studied there, and we even attended dances and school banquets in the Mall. In short, we formed friendships in the Mall that have lasted a lifetime. Staying true to our mission of “meeting the needs of a changing world,” we have embarked on Phase III of our Capital Campaign. In Phases I & II we built the Ridgley Center, Meyer Building, and Branton Chapel; renovated Farley Field; and completed significant upgrades to the main classroom building, Conlin Gym, and our green spaces. Phase III includes: Completed • Modernization and relocation of our library to the 2nd floor • Relocation and upgrade of our Formation Center Start Date May 2018 • Expansion and renovation of the Tom and Gayle Benson Mall • Relocation and expansion of food services Next • Renovation of the Conlin entrance and lobby The total cost of Phase III is $6.8 million. Thus far, we have raised $5.1 million. We need your help to reach our goal! Any amount is significant and appreciated. Phase III is another example of our continued commitment to providing the finest learning environment for our students. Please consider participating in Phase III of our Capital Campaign to benefit Brother Martin High School.
Thank You, That Is All …

of Crusader runs in the 9-0 romp. Folse scattered seven hits, coasting after a five-run 3rd. He kept his shutout intact de-spite five errors behind him. Bespectacled lefty Butch McCollum, who had beaten the Crusaders in Game One the year before, gave up only six hits but walked six. Lacoste had a perfect day at the plate with a single and three walks. Schroder went 2-for-4 with three RBI. Powell clouted a home run while Bouche tripled with the bases loaded in the fateful 3rd. Thus did St. Aloysius win its fourth state baseball championship in the last seven years. But the season wasn’t over. The Crusaders still had to beat De La Salle to win the sec-ond round and avoid a playoff for the league championship. Folse came back on three days rest to hold the Cavs to five hits. Aloysius jumped on Harwell, their first-round tor-mentor, for four runs in the first two innings on their way to a 6-1 lead after four. The final score was 8-3. Aloysius’s 11 hits were
all singles. Lacoste, Catanese, and Boullosa had two each, Joe driving in four runs with his. To no one’s surprise, Folse was voted the league MVP. He went 7-0 on the mound and hit .474 in league play. LaCoste (.392), Boullosa (.386), and Powell (.339) made the All-Prep team, Butler occupying the Utility Man spot. Lavie also coached Aloysius’s Coca-Cola Legion baseball team to the league champi-onship with a 16-0 record. They beat Lousteau Ford of Norco in three games for the South Louisiana Championship, then took two straight from Bastrop for the state crown. Their victorious march continued at the Regional Tournament in Ponchatoula, where they beat Amarillo (TX) in the finals. But their quest for a berth in the Legion World Series ended at the hands of Salisbury NC, which lost the first game but bounced back to win the next two. Not bad for a first-year coach!
In Memoriam
Thomas M. Benson, Jr. ’44 Mr. Tom Benson, a recipient of the 1986 Senator J. Ellender Alumnus of the Year Award, passed away peacefully on March 15th at the age of 90 years old with his wife, Gayle Marie Benson, at his side. Mr. Benson was the owner of both the New Orleans Saints and the New Orleans Pelicans. He was widely recognized as one of the NFL’s most successful and influential leaders in his 34th year in ownership of the Saints and has helped steward both on-and-off the court improvement with the Pelicans since purchasing the club in 2012. Under his leadership, the teams are two of the leading economic forces in the entire region. Since 2006, the Saints have enjoyed unprecedented success, posting a 119-85 overall record, including six playoff berths, four NFC South titles, two NFC Championship appearances and the Super Bowl XLIV title. New Orleans has hosted five Super Bowls with Mr. Benson serving as the leading advocate of the city’s campaigns to secure the NFL’s title game and its accompanying activities. In five years of ownership of the Pelicans, the city has hosted two NBA All-Star Weekends (2014 and 2017). In honor of his dedication to the region and its two major league sports franchises, he is a member of both the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the New Orleans Saints Hall of Fame. He is also the owner of several automotive dealerships, Dixie Beer and the Benson Tower office building. In his early life, he served in the U.S. Navy aboard the U.S.S. South Dakota in 1945 and was the only enlisted man ever to serve on the Board of Trustees of the Pensacola Naval Museum. In 2007, he was honored by the U.S. Navy Memorial with the Lone Sailor Award, presented to those who exemplify the core values of honor, courage, and commitment. In January 2009, a replica of his Lone Sailor Award was permanently put on display aboard the USS George H.W. Bush, the last of the Nimitz-class carriers to be commissioned. A major contributor and past director of the National D-Day Museum in New Orleans with his pledges helping fund the Pacific Exhibit grand opening and the Midway Theater, Mr. Benson was one of five NFL owners honored with an American Spirit Award by the museum in 2011 for service in the war. His steadfast loyalty to the civic and Catholic communities is well-known. Through the years, Mr. Benson has significantly been involved in the advancement of Brother Martin High School. In 1985, he and his brothers established the Benson Free Enterprise Resource Library at Brother Martin in honor of their parents, Tom and Carmen Benson. During the school’s 1995 Capital Campaign, it was through Mr. Benson’s initiative that the St. Aloysius Class of 1944 funded the building of the auxiliary gymnasium. In 2013, Mr. Benson and his wife, the former Gayle Marie LaJaunie, established the Brother Nicholas Geisenberg, S.C. Building Endowment. To honor their gift, Brother Martin named the student mall, the Gayle and Tom Benson Mall. In 2012, the Bensons received the Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice award – for outstanding service to the Church and the Pontiff from Pope Benedict XVI, the highest Papal award granted to a layperson. 1940 William E.
