Cum Laude Society Inducts 11 Newest Members

On Tuesday morning we inducted 11 seniors into the Cum Laude Society. The organization honors scholastic achievement and recognizes students who demonstrate the society's tenets of areté (excellence), dike (justice) and timé (honor). Congratulations to our Cum Laude inductees pictured with Mr. Bob Beach (back row L to R) Matthew Vanone ’20, Elijah Wiertel ’20, Ian Miller ’20, Bryce Hofstrom ’20, Joshua Miavitz ’20 and Garrett Olsen ’20 (front row L to R) Lena DiPuccio ’20, Zhangyang Xie ’20, Madeline Grobelny ’20 and Emma Lesko ’20. Not pictured is inductee Lejun Liu ’20, who was on a college visit.

After students received their Society pins from Mrs. Kenny and Ms. Edmondson, they were treated to words of wisdom from Mr. Bob Beach, who retired in May after 41 years of teaching, the last 28 of which were spent at Gilmour. He stressed the importance of celebrating the remarkable things accomplished by the inductees, but reminded all in attendance that it doesn’t stop there. He urged everyone to embrace the tenets of the Cum Laude Society by engendering the Holy Cross charisms. He said, “As humane as we may be today, let’s me more humane, more just tomorrow.” He closed by sharing his memories of Mr. Teisl, ensuring that all of the newest members of the Gilmour family understand just the kind of man he was so that all can emulate the selfless way he lived the mission every day.
