Remembering Our Fallen
It was a picture-perfect day for McDonogh’s annual Memorial Day ceremony
on
Thursday, May 24. The entire school community, along with Trustees, retired
employees, and alumni gathered on Memorial Court to remember and honor
those members of the McDonogh Family who lost their lives in service to our
country. The solemn ceremony was punctuated by music performed by the Lower
School Bell Choir, the Upper School String Ensemble, and the Lower School
Concert Choir.
After the invocation, which was introduced by Molly B. '19, Director of
Character
and Service Bridget Collins '90 used the occasion to preserve the memory of
Thomas W. Foy, Class of 1962 in the context of his relationship with his former
teacher and coach Frederick “Fritz” Maisel, Jr.
Maisel '37, a veteran of World War II.
A company commander in the US Army with the Fourth Infantry Division, he was the first man out of his landing craft on Utah Beach during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. He returned to campus in the fall of 1948 as a science teacher and a football and baseball coach. Two years later, his eldest son Mack was killed in
action in the Korean War. In 1968, Maisel and the McDonogh Family were
heartbroken to learn of Foy’s death in Vietnam. Read more here.
The ceremony continued with the Lower School Choir, accompanied by Jacob
R.
'20, singing When the Angels Call Me Home. Then, in a recently adopted
tradition, The McDonogh Uniform, by Eustace Glascock, Class of 1879
was read
by McDonogh alumnus Brigadier General, Maryland Defense Force (Ret.) Frederic
Smalkin, ’64 and student representatives from each division of the school (Sai T.
'19, Kaia K. '22, and Nathan E. '26).
At the end of the service, Butch Maisel ’72, the proud son of Fritz Maisel
and rising Senior Class President Ford B. '19 placed a wreath at the monument to
honor our McDonogh Veterans.
After Taps, the benediction was introduced by Molly I. '19 and the
student
body
dismissed in silence.
Throughout the rest of the day, students and guests visited the Rogers
Lobby in
the Edward St. John Student Center, where Butch Maisel, a military historian,
displayed photographs of his father and Thomas Foy as well as a large collection
of original artifacts that relate to their units and the life of the typical American
soldier.
