A silver-haired man with tired blue eyes stared at a sheet of paper. The man thought deeply to himself, as he concentrated on the small black numbers printed on the page before him, the room resounded with a loud silence. These were not the best of times, and a dream was in danger of shattering. The phone rang. The man picked up the phone and listened attentively to the voice on the other end. That night in that room a meeting was held and when the smoke cleared, everyone knew that the dream would not dieg Endorment ll became a reality. When Father l. Roger Lucey, Sl., arrived at Prep in l977, he walked into a living dream. Creighton Prep had established itself as a premier institution in the classroom, extra curriculars, and social service. But Father Lucey also found a school whose future depended on the establishment of an endowment program. On the advice of many consultants, Endowment ll was established, guaranteeing the continued excellence exhibited by Creighton Prep. The goal of Endowment ll is to raise a total of SS5.l million by l968. The money in the endowment is invested and the interest enables Prep to help students through scholarship programs and work grants, ensuring the mix of students that makes Prep a school for the community. ln this way the dream continues. The countdown begins a year in advance. None of this lO-9-8-7-6 stuff. lt's more like 365, 364, 363. About two weeks before BASH, though, the behind the scenes work becomes more evident. The gym is closed and the folding chairs rounded up. Cult anyone has any more folding chairs in their classrooms, please let Walt know. l A sign-up for student waiters is posted in the library. Artists are seen carrying easals and board through the cafeteria and up the stairs, an endless train. The lesuit Cafeteria fills up at lunch with BASH- working parents. When the doors to the gym finally open, the transformation is astounding. No longer the site of screaming crowds and sweating P.E. classes, the gym is a dining room. Graphic depictions of Qlympic athletes decorate portable walls. Round tables are festooned with flags and with ribbons in the six Qlympic colors. ln the center of each is an Olympic torch lit by an enclosed flashlight. Scattered around the center pieces are votive candles. Looking down on the scene are four large screens ready to display instant video feedback of the crowd as well as the objects to be auctioned. ln the tin gym are the items for the silent auction, divergent as a parcel of land in Florida and a typewriter. Gradually the crowd drifts from the tin gym to the wood gym for dinner, served by white-jacketed Prep students who have been versed by the caterer moments before. The meal is served efficiently and the tables cleared so the oral auction can begin at 9:l5. Spotters go into action and when a dinner with Mayor Boyle comes up on the block, l-lis Honor dons a hard hat with flashing red light and waltzes past the tables. Meanwhile the waiters have moved to the lesuit cafeteria to be waited on by parents. Their food goes fast. At eleven another shift of workers comes in to relieve the first that came in at five, later more will arrive for the clean-up scheduled for between one and three a.m. By the time the last car pulls out of the driveway, the school will have netted about S230,000. Under the direction of Fr. Charles F. Mullin, Sl., the school fundraiser is an all out, all year effort. According to Fr. Mullen, this year's crowd was llfar and away the largest ever. lt is clearly evident what a help this is in holding the line on tuition. He noted that it takes about 4OO workers to produce a BASH evening, including parents, past parents, friends, students, faculty, and staff, and he gave special recognition to Mr. Bob Willits's art students. Then he began planning for next year's BASI-l.365 364 363....
