| BREBEUF JESUIT'S SPRING MUSICAL - THE KING AND I Rodgers and Hammerstein’s The King and I is a moving, radiant story of East meets West. It is the early 1860s when newly widowed Anna Leonowens sets sail from her native England for Siam. Anna has taken a position as the schoolteacher for the children of the King of Siam. The King is determined to usher Siam into the modern world, and he thinks Western education can be a part of that. The King is largely considered to be a barbarian by rulers of the West, and he takes Anna on as an advisor, asking her to help change his image. With both keeping a firm grip on their respective traditions and values, Anna and the King teach each other about understanding, respect, and love that can transcend the greatest of differences. The King and I is full of beautiful music, traditional dance, and witty dialogue that has delighted audiences since 1951. Showtimes Thursday, March 22, 2018

Brebeuf Jesuit Students Participate in Model United Nations Conference Brebeuf Jesuit students participated in the Model United Nations Conference last Thursday and Friday.

Student Spotlight Madison mora '18
Loves About Brebeuf I love the fact that Brebeuf is such a family-oriented community. Whether it is the faculty or the entire student population, everyone here genuinely cares about the entire person. It is so easy to meet a new friend or sit with someone at lunch, which is very rare to see and experience anywhere else. Along with that, Brebeuf gives its students so many opportunities to grow and become better people. From the countless retreats to service projects, Brebeuf offers a wide range of possibilities for students to live out what it truly means to be men and women for others, which is another aspect that truly drives my heart so close to Brebeuf. Favorite Class Last year, my favorite class was AP Psych with Mr. Petty. Currently, my favorite class has to be my ACP English class with Mr. Fanara because it is a writing-based class, and I really enjoy writing. Plus, I get college credit for it after I complete the course! Future Plans I am undecided as to where I will be attending college, but my top two choices are IU and Loyola University in Chicago. I am interested in double majoring in dance and exercise science, and I may want to get into physical therapy when I’m older. Teams & Co-Curriculars Brebeuf Dance Team
National Honor Society
A-List Dance Center
Asian Student Union
Guatemalan Union
Cashier at McAlister’s Deli Random Facts I am very flexible.
I hate pizza.
I used to play the flute in middle school.
I’ve never been out of the country. What is your current favorite show or series on tv, Netflix, etc? My favorite TV show of all time has to be Full House, however, some my favorite shows on Netflix include Grey’s Anatomy and Pretty Little Liars. Any big Spring Break plans? This year, I will being going to Florida with my entire family for the first time in awhile, that being my cousins and all. Along with that, I will also be going up to Chicago for one day. I am super excited to go, especially considering the fact that my family never typically goes anywhere for break. If you could travel to any place in the world, where would you go and why? I think it would be really cool to travel to the Philippines one day because both of my parents are from there, and I would love to learn all about my family’s history and background. It is such a different atmosphere over there, so I think it could be really fun to experience a place that is so culturally unique and practically home to me! You are now in your final semester at Brebeuf Jesuit. Has it sunk in yet? I definitely think about it a lot, but it still doesn’t feel real to me. I try live every single day in the present because I know that these last few months of high school will fly by before I know it. I cherish the time I have with my friends and my teachers, so it is hard to even comprehend the fact that I will have to leave a place that I’ve called home for the last four years. In what way have you changed the most since your freshman year? Since my freshman year, I definitely feel like I’ve become a lot more confident and outgoing both inside and outside of the classroom. Although I am still a pretty shy person, I’m a lot less hesitant to speak up to others, which was very much nonexistent four years ago. Brebeuf has allowed me to mature into a young, intellectual adult, and I can definitely see that change within me.

Brebeuf Jesuit and Butler University Work Together to Offer College Credit in Latin Since its inception in 2006, the Latin program at Brebeuf continues to innovate. What started as 21 discipuli is now a thriving program of 100 discipli with two Magistrae (teachers). We offer a full range of Latin classes (Levels I-V) and next year we will also offer Medical and Scientific Terminology open to all sophomores and above. For some students learning complicated ancient grammar is exciting. Others find they can easily connect with the wide legacy of Latin literature. Still others engage their imaginations in the diverse and etiological nature of Greco-Roman Mythology. In most cases the Latin itself draws students, but our trips to Italy and unique qualifications of our instructors also draw students. Brebeuf has partnered with Butler University to offer optional Butler credit for Latin IV or V. Brebeuf Magistra Rosina Catalan worked with the Department of Philosophy, Religion, and Classics at Butler to create this new offering. Professor Catalan, as she is called at the college level, regularly teaches classes such as Roman Perspectives and Greek Art and Myth at Butler. Whether it’s in the field ascending Mount Vesuvius or in the classrooms of Brebeuf, our instructors Magistra Kris Schwickrath and Magistra Rosina Catalan continue to prepare our discipuli for college. As the poet Vergil once stated Fortes Fortuna Adjuvat (Fortune Favors the Brave) and those Braves who are bold enough to take Advanced Latin can now choose to benefit by receiving college credit. If your third or fourth year Latin Brave is interested in this option contact Magistra Rosina Catalan at rcatalan@brebeuf.org.
