Welcome Back Fellow Alumni:


We hope you enjoy being here as much as we enjoy having you! We has a double
meaning for me, because so many of my colleagues, past and present, have also been
alumni. We have been able to extend the life of our Crusader spirit on a daily basis
well beyond our graduation year, so much so, that it feels like we are still going to
school, not work.
However, I first learned as a student here, you do not have to be a graduate to fully
embrace and embody the Crusader spirit. No one has better exemplified this than
this years Honorary Alumnus Jim Antos. When I think about what makes a Brother
Edmund Rice Crusader great, I think about men like Jim, along with Brother Tom
Collins, Joe Bergmann, George Sedlacek, and Tom Mitchell, who preceded Jim as
Honorary Alumni into our Alumni Hall of Fame, and along with most of the men and
women I have been proud to call colleagues.
Fellow honorees Ed Murphy 65, Brian Coughlin 75, and Joe Ferrick 75 can be
assertive when it comes to helping Brother Rice, and yet they have done so much so
quietly, that most of their own classmates hardly know what they have done for their
alma mater. Please take the time to know them, because to do so will help you inspire
others to give as they have given, like so many unselfish Crusaders before them.
We know many of you are here tonight to be with old friends, but we also know
you are here tonight to support todays Crusaders. Many alumni come every year,
because they enjoy giving back to Brother Rice, with many giving something every
year throughout the year. You continue to be an inspiration to everyone who works at
building and sustaining the future of Brother Rice.
Please enjoy singing the fight song together as the Class of 1965 parades into the
Carmody Center, breaking bread with fellow classmates, former and current teachers,
regular and continuous partakers and builders of the Crusader spirit, while honoring
fellow Crusaders.
While doing so, please also remember those who cannot be with us because they are ill
or are no longer with us, and in a special way, please remember those who died while
in the line of duty to keep us safe.
We have a lot for which to be grateful, and you being here tonight on campus, thanks
to the sacrifices of many, reminds us how fortunate we are to be together again.
Gratefully and sincerely,
Jim Casey 70

What is the distinction between Man and
Woman of the Year & Alumni Hall of Fame?
BROTHER RICE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
MAN OR WOMAN OF THE YEAR (Est. 1985)
A Man or Woman of the Year can be nominated by anyone associated with Brother Rice
High School in Chicago. The Brother Rice Alumni Association then discusses and decides
who is selected for a particular year based on the following criteria.
Any man or woman who has provided outstanding service or support on behalf
of the students of Brother Rice High School over an extended period of time.
Any man or woman who has provided outstanding service or support on behalf
of the students of Brother Rice High School in a momentous (significantly
increasing) way for a shorter period of time.

BROTHER RICE ALUMNI HALL OF FAME (EST. 1998*)


There are now four ways in which a man or woman or family can be inducted into the
Alumni Hall of Fame:
1. Any alumnus who has been selected as Man of the Year. In 1998 there were 13
alumni who were grandfathered into the Alumni Hall of Fame because they had been
previously honored as Men of the Year. Also in 1998, three new alumni were honored
as Men of the Year, so they also entered the newly established Alumni Hall of Fame.
2. Any alumnus who distinguishes himself in an outstanding way outside of Brother
Rice High School. In 1998, there were three alumni who were deemed to have fit
this criteria.
3. Any previous Man or Woman of the Year, whose impact on Brother Rice has been
so extraordinary for an extended period of time, that he or she can be inducted into
the Alumni Hall of Fame as an Honorary Alumnus, since he or she did not graduate
from Brother Rice. From 1998 until 2015, there are five men inducted in this manner.
4. Any family whose members have collectively contributed to the generational vitality
of Brother Rice High School. Thus far, one family has received this award.
* In 1998, the year the Alumni Hall of Fame was established, there were 13 alumni
grandfathered into the Alumni Hall of Fame, while three alumni were inducted as new
Men of the Year, and one (Tom Mitchell) was inducted as the first Honorary Alumnus.
The following facing pages list Men and Women of the Year on the left page, with
additional Alumni Hall of Fame Honorees on the right page. All alumni listed on the
left page (with graduation years) are also inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame and are
pictured on a plaque in the hall that leads from the Carmody Center toward the indoor
athletic complex. Honorary Alumni are listed on both the left side, indicating the year they
were Men of the Year, and the right side, indicating the year they were inducted into the
Alumni Hall of Fame.
We welcome nominations from all Brother Rice family members.

Jim Antos, Brother Rice Principal, Alumni Hall of Fame,


November 13, 2015
It is fortunate for Brother Rice High School that Jim Antos was an impressionable
Viking from St. Laurence High School from 1962 1966, because so much of his
vision for Rice portrays a vivid connection to Edmund Rice and a chain of links
that began for him back then. Off the top of his head, Jim points to 10 Christian
Brothers who taught him at St. Laurence from 1962 1966 Carty, Farleigh, Castle,
JE Murphy, WR Murphy, OGrady, McGovern, Smith, Turnbull and Phillips - as
the initial sparks that led him to an interview in August of 1979 to teach history at
Brother Rice. He says they were all positive influences, challenging, demanding,
tough, human, common characteristics that many Brother Rice alumni attribute to
the Bros of yesteryear and today.
Others come first to Jim Antos. Whether he is reflecting upon his gratitude for his
teachers and mentors back at St. Laurence High School 50 years ago, or he is thinking
about his colleagues, mentors, and thousands of students at Brother Rice since 1980, Jim
Antos is remembered as one of the most unselfish men many of us have ever known.
The others Jim is known to champion include the desperately poor from Appalachia
to Africa, to those difficult to love from adjacent neighborhoods, or at PADS shelters
in Englewood. Others come first.
Jim has worn more BR hats than most, including a baseball cap as the schools first
freshman coach from 1983 -1992. As a teacher, coach, dean, assistant principal, and
now as the longest serving principal in school history (17 years), Jim has been a tireless
champion of those most in need at and beyond Brother Rice for 35 years. Technically,
Jim is the schools first principal who is not a Christian Brother, but those who know this
prayerful, Christian man know that his religious spirit is as infectious as most priests and
brothers. Jim would take no such bow, for he would praise the many Religious who have
influenced him throughout his life, including the nuns at St. Nicks, without considering
himself as in their company. Others always come first to Jim.
Challenging, demanding, tough, human are pursuits and traits that have driven Jim
through Chicagos Southside, through Viet Nam during the height of the death toll
there, and through his determination to always improve his life and others through
education and service, always humble but always clear about his convictions.
When people who dont know him ask him why he is wearing BR apparel, he says he
works there, and yet when he awakens very early in the morning, he feels like he is
going to school, not work. Each and every day, each and every student and colleague
presents a new learning experience for Jim Antos.

31st Annual All-Alumni Dinner


He may be 67, but his energy for his service to others is as high as anyone I know,
says Jim Casey 70, VP of Alumni Relations.
That energy drives Jim in more directions than can be listed here, including but not
limited to annually updating his professional development at NCEA, the Bishop
Gorman Institute, and NAASP conferences; gaining global perspective at international
conferences, always searching for what is common and appreciating what is different
among us, and always working toward continuous improvement. All of this is poured
into the source of Jims greatest energy, that which is derived from and given back to
students. The results speak for themselves, as evidenced by Brother Rice ACT scores,
curricular and extra-curricular opportunities, including spiritual growth through
prayer, liturgy, retreats and service opportunities, all of which have grown during the
Antos era as Principal, which is why BRHS remains the number one Catholic school
for boys in Illinois.
Jim points to his wife and son, Mary and Justin, for encouraging him to go for it
when he considered the principal position in 1998. Before that and since then as an
administrator, Jim credits all of his bosses, from Brother Tom Collins to Dr. Kevin
Burns, for teaching him how to be a leader in the best Catholic high school for boys in
the country.
It is when Jim is in front of students and faculty, all assembled together in the main
gym, that his gifted leadership is most apparent. Without carrying or needing notes,
Jim grabbed the microphone, like he has hundreds of times, and spoke at the end of
the opening Mass for the 2015-16 school year. Many of us who had seen him deliver
16 previous addresses wondered if number 17 could top the rest, and it did, probably
as number 16 topped number 15, and so on. He again, better than ever before, left
those assembled filled with an even better understanding of what it means to act
manfully in Christ Jesus, to live the life of Edmund Rice in 2015. He did so while also
addressing a behavior issue from two weeks earlier, convincing teenage boys that doing
the right thing always makes them feel better about themselves. He was so convincing
because his ever-present respect for our young men, every single one of them, came
through with complete conviction, even while challenging them to think twice the
next time an opportunity to be stupid presents itself.
The life and spirit of Edmund Rice is alive and well in todays Brother Rice principal,
a husband, father, teacher, and humble man of Christ. Anyone who knows him would
be proud to call him friend and brother. For this and much more, Jim Antos follows
Brother Rice legends Tom Mitchell, George Sedlacek, Joe Bergmann, and Brother Tom
Collins to be named Honorary Alumnus and inducted into the Brother Rice Alumni
Hall of Fame.

- Man of the Year Honoree Ed Murphy 65, Man of the Year and Alumni Hall of Fame,
November 13, 2015
It is impossible to thank Ed Murphy 65 without him thanking you back. You can
thank Ed for hosting a meeting at the University Club for alumni lawyers 20 years
ago; for attending the alumni professionals reception at the Union League the last two
years; for attending a few BRAIN for Business networking meetings; for attending
capital campaign meetings or Career Days or Alumni Dinners, or for placing ads.
But Ed always comes back with his thanks for someone else hosting this or that,
specifically mentioning names like BRAIN for Business leaders Gary Stubits 82 and
Jim Walsh 86 for their continuing efforts to bring Rice alums together so we can
introduce each other to our respective business a great way to promote the Rice
brand, Ed said, specifically and gratefully.
You can thank Ed for becoming a leading annual donor, and while he is afraid of
forgetting people, Ed in turn specifically thanks his teachers from more than 50 years
ago, like Messrs. Meis and Baader, who taught him how to think and write critically,
and Brothers Crane, who taught him physics, and Rohan, who wrote a letter to help
him find a summer job. He even thanks a fellow Rice student, Tim Toomey 66 for
putting in a good word for him for a job with his father, so that Ed could earn enough
at a local factory in order to afford IIT upon graduation.
Ed gratefully thinks of these good people from his past teenage years for all of his
accomplishments as an adult. He credits Brother Crane for teaching him about the
physical world, but he also credits Coach Bill Flynn, even though Ed never played
football, because he not only learned trigonometry in Flynns class, he also learned
enough about him in that math class to know the importance of just being a good
man, a lesson we at Brother Rice know he learned quite well.
This good man has been shaped by many life experiences meaningfully linked
together. Ed remembers how the technical program at Brother Rice not only prepared
him for college, but also introduced him to electricity, electronics, woodworking,
metal working, and technical drawing. These classes and physics inspired me to seek
an engineering degree, because I thought this would be a great way to really affect how
people lived the buildings in which they lived and worked, the roads and bridges on
which they traveled, and the machines they used to make things, Ed said.
When he graduated from IIT, Ed took a job in a can manufacturing company
that paid well, held his interest, and seemed to have plenty of opportunity for

11.15BRHSalumAdBook.indd 8

11/5/15 1:31 PM

31st Annual All-Alumni Dinner


advancement, but the young and restless Murphy could not picture himself climbing
the corporate ladder in 1969, so he did a 180 and joined the Chicago Police
Department, where for more than nine years he learned about the REAL world.
Ed believed he met some of the best people anywhere in that profession, but he
also saw the worst the world had to offer. His biggest take-away was that every
now and then it mattered very much to someone that he was there. What could be
better? Ed wonders.
When Ed realized that the most interesting and fun part of the police job could only
be done by a young man, and that he needed to better support a growing family, he
decided to tap into his aptitude for communicating effectively in the English language.
That led to law school and the legal profession35 years and counting since
receiving my law license on May 1, 1980, Ed said. Persuading judges and juries has
been a great way to make a living and to make a difference.
As the years went by, Eds appreciation for his years at Brother Rice grew. After years
of observing the world as an adult, I finally realized how so many things big and
little that I experienced as a teenager had such a positive effect on me and so many
others at Rice and other good schools, Ed said. Rice prepared me intellectually,
physically, and spiritually to make my way in a world that often was nasty and made
little sense, he added.
Ed said he learned self discipline not easily and certainly not perfectly, while describing
himself as a hard case. He remembers viewing the wearing of a suit coat and tie as a
distasteful chore, until later when he realized the importance of making a first impression.
Ed now thinks that business casual means that he can remove his tie for awhile.
Eventually I began to believe that the world would be a much better place if everyone
had the advantages I had and came to believe that I should do whatever I could to
make that possible for a few young men, Ed said.
Ed dedicates himself to the Church beyond Brother Rice. Ed was a school board
member and tuition-paying parent of four daughters at St. Agnes School in Chicago,
and was saddened when the school had to close due to decreasing enrollment. My
girls then transferred to St. Maurice, a wonderful school with very dedicated teachers,
where he also served on the board until that school was consolidated, a task he found
painful as the chairman of the committee that worked through the consolidation.
Three parishes eventually consolidated into one, Blessed Sacrament with three
worship sites and no school, which Ed believes is a tragedy, while continuing to do
what he can to financially support the ones that remain open.

11.15BRHSalumAdBook.indd 9

11/5/15 1:31 PM

Ed gave his daughters a choice of any south side Catholic school, so one went to
Mother McAuley, one went to Lourdes, and two went to Maria, and he adds that two
also earned degrees at Catholic colleges St. Marys in South Bend, and St. Francis
in Joliet. Ed is also glad to say that his eight grandchildren attend Catholic schools in
LaGrange, Valparaiso, and St. John Fisher in Chicago, while adding how proud he is
that one of his daughters is a teacher and the chairperson of Religious Studies at Marist
High School.
Ed also served on the finance committees at St. Agnes, St. Maurice, and currently at
Blessed Sacrament, having also served as an extraordinary minister of the Eucharist and
as a lector.
When Ed looks at the other men who have been honored as Men of the Year and
inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame who have served our country in the military
or in other public service, or who have excelled in sports or show business, or who
have otherwise demonstrated to the world that Brother Rice produces great people,
he is embarrassed to be counted among them, specifically mentioning the likes of
Tom Gorman 85 and Marty Berry 64. He thinks he is giving in a small way.
Ed said, there are so many reasons for alums to contribute to Rice but the one that
sticks out in my mind right now is this: Perhaps one young man who is able to attend
Brother Rice in part because of a donation I have made will come back to the school
after he has achieved some success in the business world and then help another young
manjust to know that is possible makes me very happy indeed.
It is because everyone from Brother Rice, who knows this humble man from McKinley
Park, knows he is huge, not small, in the many ways he builds the Catholic Church.
And it is because this grateful man deserves a huge thanks from todays Crusaders,
that we are proud to name Ed Murphy 65 a 2015 Man of the Year and induct him
into the Brother Rice Alumni Hall of Fame, on the occasion of his 50th Graduation
Anniversary.

- Man of the Year Honoree Brian Coughlin 75, Man of the Year and Alumni Hall of Fame,
November 13, 2015
Brian Coughlin 75 may have been among the busiest and most important volunteers
to serve Brother Rice for the last nine years, but he remains most proud of what he
accomplished as an athlete in high school, for he held the 330-yard low hurdles record
at Brother Rice for 18 years, from 1974 to 1992.
Outside of that, Brian is probably best appreciated at Brother Rice for keeping his
nose to the grind and into the books, as in the financial books, as a Board of Directors
Member and Chairman of the Finance Committee since 2007, a volunteer position
perhaps as critical as any for an unpaid alumnus, involving decisions that can make or
break a school, in ways that are not readily apparent to the general public. Without
men like Brian, it is difficult to imagine the success that Brother Rice now enjoys in
attracting some of the most intelligent and talented young men in the area.
Besides his father, Brian credits Coaches Tom Mitchell and (Brother at the time) Ray Schul,
as well as many other teachers for teaching him the value of showing up and working hard
every day for your goals, Brian said. Both were very disciplined, yet knew how to laugh
and have fun. We lost Coach Mitchell too early, but it was great to catch up with Ray Schul
when he was inducted into the Circle of Champions last year, he added.
Growing up in St. Catherines at a time when half went to Rice and half went to
Marist, Brian believes it was the Chicago Catholic League tradition that impressed him
the most. He remembers receiving the 48th set of pads given to freshman who tried
out for football, playing 3 plays all season that year, when he weighed 110 pounds, but
then sticking with the program and becoming a starter on the varsity.
His interest in and support for Brother Rice never faded, attending scores of football
and basketball games and regularly participating in Alumni and Foundation Golf
Outings, while annually attending the Alumni Dinner. Brian has also been an annual
donor for 26 years, gradually increasing his support from year to year, and stretching
his gifts for campaigns that provided needed improvements.
Over the years he just enjoyed the games and enjoyed catching up with friends at the
outings, just having fun. As a Board Member & Chair of the Finance Committee, I
realize what a life-changing four years Brother Rice can be for young men, yet because
of economic reasons many families are not able to afford tuition, Brian said. This
is why the Lifeguard Fund and other forms of financial aid are so important for the
continued success of the school.

11

11.15BRHSalumAdBook.indd 11

11/5/15 1:31 PM

Having two sons graduate from Brother Rice (Brian Jr. 06 and Patrick 07) really
opened my eyes to how well the school prepares young men academically, spiritually,
and emotionally for college and beyond, Brian said.
Like so many alumni whose sons also attended Brother Rice, Brian is amazed and
impressed that a faculty, now predominantly lay teachers with families, can still be
such dedicated professionals who take such a personal interest in every student. Brians
service on the Board has taken his appreciation of the school and administration to a
new level, as he has witnessed firsthand the economic challenges that have been faced
while continuing to improve the schools reputation and offerings.
With the Finance Committee, Brian works hand in hand with Mike Hurley, the Chief
Financial Officer at Brother Rice, who he says does a terrific job.
We only have a certain dollar amount with which to work, so every year projects
must be prioritized, Brian said. A new roof or boiler isnt exciting or even visible, like
new athletic fields or science labs, but building maintenance must be kept current or it
costs more in the long run.
Brians viewpoint reminds us of why we appreciate donors who tell us to spend their
gifts where the need is greatest, to keep tuition affordable for all students, or to
Lifeguard for students who need the most help with tuition.
Brian was shocked when he learned about the award, but he is truly honored. When
you spend as much time as he does gathering with Board Members, school officials,
fellow alumni CPAs, along with alumni financial advisors, lawyers, and bankers,
engaged in sometimes heated debates over what and how to fund things like a field,
a parking lot, and science labs, you dont think about awards, for you are too busy
thinking about sustaining the future of Brother Rice.
My brother Chuck 80, and my two sons all received at least one gold medal upon
graduation, and now I have something they dont have! Brian said with a smile, and
perhaps with a challenge to others, that giving back has its own rewards, even when
you least expect an actual award.
Brian 06 said, Growing up I always knew that I wanted to be a Brother Rice
Crusader, mostly because of the passion and love my dad displayed towards Rice. He is
the biggest Brother Rice supporter I know and has contributed so much to the school
over the years. Having him enter the Alumni Hall of Fame is something he truly
deserves; it makes me proud to be an alumnus, but more than anything, proud to be
his son.

11/5/15 1:31 PM

31st Annual All-Alumni Dinner


Patrick 07 said, My dad getting inducted into the Alumni Hall of Fame means a
lot - hes been a Rice man to the core his whole life, and he instilled that Rice Pride in
my brother and me basically from the time we could walk (and more specifically, play
sports). From his time as a student athlete at Rice, to his contributions to the Fathers
Club and now the Board and Finance Committee, hes been able to give back and
reciprocate for the opportunities that Brother Rice gave him. Getting inducted into
the Alumni Hall of Fame is an honor I know he appreciates, and I cannot think of
anyone more deserving or grateful than my dad.
Obvious bias toward ones dad and for Brother Rice is not just acceptable, it is
commendable. Also commendable are the accomplishments of both alumni sons, both
gainfully employed after graduating from Notre Dame, after both also became walk-on
players for the Irish football team.
It is because he is so thoughtful in so many ways for Brother Rice High School, that
the Brother Rice Alumni Association is proud to name Brian Coughlin 75 a 2015
Man of the Year and induct him into the Brother Rice Alumni Hall of Fame, in the
company of his classmates celebrating their 40th anniversary.

- Man of the Year Honoree Joe Ferrick 75, Man of the Year and Alumni Hall of Fame,
November 13, 2015
Joe Ferrick 75 has been in the habit of supporting Brother Rice for so long, he does not
remember when this started. He remembers receiving a Rice Review Alumni Newsletter
sometime in the 80s, so he started attending home football games again, a habit he
continues today, along with home basketball games and other events. Later, he attended an
All-Alumni Reunion Dinner and Alumni Association monthly meeting, two more habits
he continues today, same with the Alumni Golf Outing, the Post Game Pizza Party, the
BRAIN for Business meetings, the Christmas Cheer for Brother Rice, etc. There are simply
not enough etceteras that can capture Joes habitual support for Brother Rice.
Chances are anyone who reads this has seen Joe, but you have no idea who he is, because
he is not a real networker, rather he will simply ask for your name and find your table or
tee time reservation in such a friendly and efficient manner, you might think he is part of
the paid staff.
At Alumni Association meetings for 20 years, 18 as Treasurer, Joe would say almost
nothing, unless someone called on him. Joe is most engaging at being a low-key humble
servant, but he is bold in extraordinary ways.
Joe lives on a boat in Chicago all year round and has done so since 1994. Who does that?
Most of us would have bailed the first year when it was so brutally cold at the River City
Marina that he and his fellow year-rounders had to go outside every couple of hours to
break up the ice, which he says worked pretty well until the electricity went out. Then,
he had to jump ship for a few hours as his water lines and toilet froze, but that only
happened a few times in 21 years, Joe says with a straight face.
Perhaps just as extraordinary was when he changed vessels from a smaller cabin cruiser to
an older but bigger trawler in 2002, and he chose to navigate it from Clearwater, Florida
to Chicago, in order to learn all about it. Did he recruit an experienced crew? Sure he did,
beginning with a WWII Navy veteran, the late Gerald Ferrick, Joes dad; Veronica Ferrick,
Joes mom; and Marjy, Joes longtime friend.
It was an adventure every day, Joe said, coming up the east coast, Chesapeake Bay, Jersey
shore, Hudson River, Erie Canal, Lake Ontario, Canadas Trent-Severn Waterway, Lake
Huron and Lake Michigan, observing manatees and dolphins, running aground (twice), all
while learning a new boat!
Joe sees himself as one of the little guys who can do little things that help make bigger
things happen at Brother Rice. He does not want us to tell you everything he is doing

and has done for Brother Rice, so you will not learn that whole story. Instead, we will ask
a question about another thing he does for others, outside of Brother Rice. What kind of
guy seeks thrills from skiing down a slope in order to guide blind and visually impaired
people to experience the thrill of downhill skiing? Joe derives such thrills from witnessing
the bravery in these skiers, and in knowing the trust they place into his hands and in feeling
their appreciation for the confidence and independence they gain from the experience. He
uses voice commands to guide them on and off ski lifts, and from a trailing position, helps
them navigate slopes, around trees and chair lift poles. Joes specialty is training new skiers,
adults and kids, from age 6 to a 77-year-old retired Army Colonel. With novices, Joe often
skis backwards downhill in front of them to help them maneuver and control their speed.
Not one to just hang around the boat, in the winter time, Joe serves as the President and
Guide Trainer for the American Blind Skiing Foundation.
While we cannot share everything Joe and his Mom and sisters and brothers-in-law give
to Brother Rice, Joe is ok with sharing the roots of his love for his alma mater. When Joe
was born in 1957, his family lived in an open prairie to what is now 98th and Komensky
at a distance equal to a few blocks south of what was Kiddieland on 95th Street. (Who
remembers Kiddieland?). Veronica Ferrick remembers hearing the Brother Rice Band, and
believes it subliminally affected Joe. In 1960, they moved to just south and west of Queen
of Martyrs, where Joe took piano lessons, so he and his parents were invited to a meeting
with Leo Henning, the legendary band director, who from that day on left a lasting
impression on the Ferrick family as a man with a command of every band instrument, and
a great teacher, who directed Joe to the alto saxophone as the best fit for the young grade
school kid. Joe would continue his lessons with Mr. Henning every Saturday, hiking over
the prairie that has since become Tallys Corner, just west of St. Xavier (then College). In
eighth grade, Joes already innate sense of adventure led him to choose Leo H.S., another
Henning school, but his more practical parents chose Brother Rice for their son, an
overruling he never regretted.
Joe would be overruled a few more times later in life as a trial attorney for the IRS, after
working his way through law school as a revenue agent for the agency. He would move up
the ladder at the IRS Office of Chief Counsel to the Managing Counsel of the Chicago
office and then to his current position at Area Counsel in a Senior Executive Service
capacity, overseeing approximately 60 attorneys and paralegals in five states. Joes pride in
his position at the IRS is rooted in his appreciation for what he learned at Brother Rice,
as he cites a diverse list of favorite teachers including: Arumagam, Ross, Vranka, Murray,
Treacy, Moore, Marfise, Coleman, and band with both Leo and Patrick Henning. He also
points to the fortuitous location of his locker near Brother McGraws Dean of Discipline
office, where his proximity to disciplinary meetings inspired me to stay out of trouble.
His twenty-minute-walk proximity to school also allowed for participation in cross-country,
diving, track, student council, dance committee, and intramural sports, while initiating his
life-time support for varsity basketball and football and band, often as part of the marching
band at Gately Stadium. Adding concerts and musicals to his busy schedule left Joe no time
for jug. Joe describes all this as great fun that led to great friendships.

Joe loves volunteering at Brother Rice, meeting other alumni and families, while including
his own in the mix, always feeling satisfied he is doing his little part, while always
admiring the many things he sees being done by faculty, staff, and Dads and Mothers
Clubs.
The financial generosity of alumni is astounding, Joe said. The untold number of hours
spent by alumni families, former and present teachers, staff, moms, and dads is the other
part of the ongoing story of generosity and commitment, Joe adds. All of these unpaid
hours add further impetus to my desire to support Brother Rice.
We are all in different stages of life with a broad range of family and work matters to
manage, and yet there are so many opportunities for alumni to contribute during some of
these stages. For example, giving a 15 minute presentation about your career to upperclassmen can change a young mans path through life!
When Joe and Marjy attend games and events they have noticed many great things over the
years. Marjy has been particularly impressed with the kind and mature behavior she has
observed of our young men at games and even on the Metra that she rides daily.
Although Joes Dads name was Gerald, he was known as Joe by family and friends, and
many of them were in the Dads Club when he was President. It is because his Dad and
Mom, Veronica, always taught their children to give back that Joe Ferrick 75 and his
sisters Deborah, Sue, and Monica, and their Mom have established through their collective
donations, The Gerald and Veronica Ferrick Scholarship. Not only have they established
the scholarship through annual donations, Joe also made Brother Rice the beneficiary of
a life insurance policy in order to sustain it for years to come. Thanks to a couple of guys
known as Joe Ferrick, going back 44 years, and their family members, including their
sons/brothers-in-law who did not attend Rice, the Ferrick name will continue to represent
giving back to Brother Rice.
Reflecting back on the roots of his appreciation, motivating himself to give every year in
many different ways, and committing himself to the future of Brother Rice are only some
of the reasons why the Alumni Association is past due in naming Joe Ferrick 75 a 2015
Man of the Year, while inducting him into the Alumni Hall of Fame.

31st Annual All-Alumni Dinner


Junior of the Year
Officially named the Brother Rice Alumni Association John P. Leahy Award for
Outstanding Junior, the award was created in 1972 and named after the Rice graduate
who was the driving force behind its creation. The purpose of the award is to make
the student body aware of the Alumni Association, while also serving as a means for
alumni to give something back to the school.
The goal of the award is to reward overall excellence. The selection process begins with
juniors selecting 10 representatives. These 10 candidates are submitted to the faculty,
who select the finalists. A committee of the Alumni Association interviews the finalists
and selects the Junior of the Year.
The Junior of the Year is awarded a scholarship for $2,500.00 for his senior year
tuition. The other finalists also receive tuition assistance.
Listed below are the past winners of the award and their graduation years. You will
notice that no scholarships were awarded for three years during the early 1980s. This
marked a time when the Alumni Association faltered and scholarship funds were nonexistent. With your continued help and participation in the Alumni Association, that
will not happen again.
