We dedicate this yearbook and the many hours of work that it represents to a man who truly exemplified what it means to be dedicated. He was involved with all aspects of life at Catholic Cen- tral because the school and the education of Christian, young men made up the fabric of his life. on these memorial pages we wish to emphasize his life rather than his death because it is most in accordance with his personality to do so. He was a cheerful man who always looked at the bright side of life and the good in everything. We have also adopted this outlook throughout the rest of the book, to emphasize the good things that happened during the 1974-1975 school year. We believe that this is what he would have done. That is the way he lived his life. We dedicate the 1975 Shamrock in memory of Rev. Joseph G. Barnes, C.S.B. , 2 Dedication Rev. Joseph G 1 fn WI' .ffl I .0 I 9 11,25 !. 0 51205: 'sis' BNN Q O 011, .

Catholic Central has long been dedicated to providing a Christian education through a balanced blend of athletic, academic, and spiritual principles and knowledge. Lately, however, it is the academic and spiritual facets which have been neglected. And since academic motivation must be realized within the student, it is the spiritual aspect the school must seek to enhance. The 1974-75 school year saw several new and enlightening innovations arise from a collaboration between the front office and Fr. Ned Donoher, director of spiritual activities. Individual retreats for each grade, penance services, morning masses, and afternoon communions arejust several of the endeavors that Fr. Ned organizes and runs with such fluence. One can only hope that this continues in the future and C.C. students are indeed taught Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledgef' tl'1 Sn ABOVE LEFT: Fr. Judd administers the Holy Eucharist. LEFT: Fr.

Student Life im SFUUHU il Boyis Bowl Week Hectic The 30th Boys's Bowl classic continued in the tradition of previous oneis by generating funds for many of De- troit's needy charities. Bowl week was filled with the usual flavor and pa- gentry of previous years, with many students joining in ' various activities. Even the rainy weather failed to dam- is pen the immense enthusiasm of those involved. Many students spent long hours setting up the gym, decorating fl cars, and promoting activities. it Most of the cars participated in the parade that tra- versed the entire surrounding area. After the parade, everyone enjoyed listening to the host of celebrities that . entertained during the assembly. df l L P' M. 22 Student Life LL. .,- 1 rt:- 'T iii?

Spirit 0f 75 Manifested In Many Ways The spirit at CC. this year really embodied the many facets of a highly enthusiastic and talented group ofindividuals. With various activities in continuous motion, hardly a moment passed without something gener- ating. The senior class set the pattern that the rest of the student body gladly followed. Sign painting abounded, cheering was tremendous, and atten- dance at all activities exceeded all expectations. Certainly the spirit at the hockey games was the highpoint ofall the sporting a tffities. The pattern of enthusiasm that was set this year certainly established a precedent that will be extre- mely difficult to follow, but then, x,.C. always rises to the challenge, and represents itself more than adequately. Student Life Athletic Assemblies Inspire Enthusiasm Though few and far between, the Athletic Assemblies provided the student body with excellent entertainment. Brian Gruley, Bob Drain, Carl Schultz, and all their madcap companions brought raves from the onlookers during their football season skits. Dan Sheehan's imaginative signs and paintings adorned the gym walls and ceiling throughout the entire year. Students responded well to the hard work of all the assembly crews. The organized cheering was close to superb and overall spirit was high throughout the year. Future senior classes will be hard-pressed to match this yearls performance by these dedicated upperclassmen. ABOVE: Four out of live students use Right Guard.

The Mercyaires, a talented singing group from Our Lady of Mercy High School, sang and danced before an extremely enthusiastic audience. Never all year long was the attention of the student body so capti- vated during a general assembly. Of course everyone knows that the CC student is a lover of culture , especially when it is directly related to Mercy. The audience was as well- To CC Education behaved as can be expected when twenty young ladies per- form before nine hundred male students. There was some whistling and a few cat calls , but it seems as though there would be more cause for alarm if there had not been that type of reaction. The success of the group this year can again be attributed to its director Mr. Larry Teevens and to the superb Mercy music department. We at CC can thank N.H.S. president Dan Bernard for this year's cultural experience. Very nice , Dan! 28 Student Life 4 D 1 4' v,.mr1' f Yi I f I ,l,. J . I '! fair 'H f '- I Q Q' f CC Celebrates Student Achievements 'ir Awards for achievement and service are important in any field of endeavor. To give a proper atmosphere for the awarding ceremonies a new format was established last year and continued during the present year. This format divided the award winners into four categories. Three of the categories were for athletic achievement, corresponding to winter, fall, and spring sports, and one category for acade- mic achievement. Each banquet was a complete evening of entertainment for parents, teachers, and especially for award recipients. Following a delicious buffet dinner, a guest speaker in- formed the assembled group on a topic apropos to the occasion. After the speaker, Fr. Franklin Mizzi, Catholic Central's Principal, called each award recipient individually to receive his trophy or certificate from the coach or mo- derator giving the award. Hopefully, this format will be used for many years to come. za l fi' l ' 1 ABOVE: Miss Rhodes and her Mercy skiers, the other half of the CC- Mercy ski team, were the first female athletes to be honored at a CC sports banquet.

Student Life 31 Ticket Sales Up Despite Lagging Economy Friday, February 1, 1975, marked the start of the 19th annual ticket drive at Catholic Central. The Drive is one of the most important fund raisers for the school, second only to tuition and bingo. Because it is done in such a short time, however, the Drive should be considered all the more remarkable. The theme of the 1975 Drive was Monsters The gym, the offices, and the halls were all decorated in a motif to dramatize this theme. Under the direction of Fr. Norbert Clemens and Senior Mike Detz, the drive was a success. The contests in the gym included an apple-eating contest, a monster fashion show, and a sophomore and a junior bob- bingfor apples in a pernicious concoction made by the sen- 1ors and freshmen. Fr. Ned Donoher once again led the Freshmen to victory as the class bring in the largest amount of money. However, special thanks is given to Fr. Phil Acquaro, Fr. John Wheeler, Fr. Norbert Clemens, Mr. Thomas Nesbitt, and Fr. John Depa for their efforts in leading the various classes during the Drive and for other considerations they made during Drive Week. 32 Student Life ABOVE: It's time for the big pay-off. 50 cents?

Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. lt is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him. All the special gifts and powers from God will some day come to an end, but love goes on forever.

Several hundred excellent projects were entered in var- ious areas of science. The entrees manifested scientific genious and indicated that the students had put much time and effort into research, experimentation, and the construction of displays. The fine quality of the projects again this year can be attributed to the excellent C.C. science department. Under the very competent direction of Sr. Mary Cabrini and Fr. John Depa, the 1975 fair was a tremendous success. This year the underclassmen swept all the grand awards. Jun- iors Greg Budde and Paul Syrowik, along with freshman Pete Weber took C.C.'s highest honors. At the University of Detroit, Greg Budde and Paul Syrowik won the two grand awards given in the Detroit Metropolitan Science Fair. With all three ofthese young scientists returning next year, C.C. should maintain its outstanding reputation in the world of science. Student Life 37 Art Department Exhibits Talent The Annual Catholic Central Art Fair was again an amaz- ing exhibition of the artistic talent of Catholic Central stu- dents. The four-day event was visited by many parents, stu- dents, and friends of Catholic Central. The wide variety of media found in the exhibit gives great credit to the Art De- partment and its director, Mr. Thomas Nesbitt. Senior Bill Clark and Junior Bob Kozlow bothdisplayed impressive exhi- bits and were the highlights of the show. ..,.!.,, zzz , , , ,,, f l .. ., ,. . ., I. 1 1 I 4 !V, EEE ' 38 - Student Life nil -11 :xv ,,,.,4 Ub- WX' T 'ff M ,un .y ,D -J , , ss: f' Y .I , .pr M HIP. ml- ' H1 e- 4 -' - -f,,... 4.4.-,w.n A ... , mf' 143.1 .,ww,J .f-g-1 !,,,g:,..-1' , '-?- 12 in Qfwfzfrff- -.

For this was the night that Prom '75 was held. As in past years, the Prom was held at Baypointe Country Club. Special thanks are in order for Fr. Norbert Clemens for securing this beautiful spot for the Seniors. The night started out with a delicious prime rib dinner. Then the music of Ginger Brandy took over. The music continued into the morning hours. All too soon the words, This will be the last dance of the evening were spoken. After the music and strolls on the golf course had ended, many private parties became a reality. After that - only memories. Memories that will never fade from the minds of the couples that attended Prom '75. ABOVE: The atmosphere was tender and soft. TOP: Please introduce us to your date, Father.

Our Last Hours Together The scene took place on a Sunday evening at 8:00 p.m. on June 1, 1975 at Ford Auditorium. The Seniors of 1975 began their last activity together at Catholic Central as the Commen- cement Exercises got underway. The ceremonies opened with a welcoming speech from salutatorian Marty Heffernan, who brilliantly traced the ,development of the Class of '75 from freshmen to seniors by comparing them to a crew of sailors. After speaking to the graduates, Fr. Mizzi awarded the diplo- mas symbolizing the completion of four years of work and good times. Then the Class of '75 was honored as Bishop Walter J . Schoenherr spoke to them of their past accomplish- ments and their future responsibilities. Fr. Whitley and Fr. Mitrano announced awards, Mike Carpenter gave the Valedic- tory Address, and Doug Franke gave a dedication to Mary Alma Mater. Then the graduates sang the Alma Mater for the last time together. in-7 .. ,, .it Wi 44 Student Life I . Q - -Il 1 N' 4 ? i'f' F71 -Q l 3.

Catholic Central began the season by winning the first two games, which were non-league contests, against Royal Oak Kimball and Alpena. The team started rolling and surprised many who thought that the team was not going to be that good, but the wheel stopped abruptly when the league season started. The Shamrocks lost their first two league games against Notre Dame and Brother Rice. Getting back on the track, CC won their final three league games against De LaSalle, U. of D., and Austin to finish out the league season in third place in the Central bracket with a 3-2 record. A non- league win against Aquinas in post season play gave the Shamrocks a 6-2 mark for the year. Seniors like Tim Kelly and Mark McPeak played excellently all season long, but Pete Klein, Dave Rodriguez, Kurt Huffmaster, Joe Ryan, Greg Orzech, Dave Hartsell, and Mike Govan also played well, and their absence will be felt next year. A few of the underclassmen who played well this year and will carry the load next year are Dave Herberholz, Rick Pierson, and Allan Mitchell. Some observers did not expect much from the 1974 CC football squad, but they were wrong. A couple of bad games eliminated championship hopes, but the Shamrocks of 74 impressed many people on the field.

A good offense complimented an ex- cellent defense as CC outscored opponents 129-34. The JV was 3-1 in the tough Central Division losing only to Notre Dame while posting two shut-outs. In non-league play CC faired well capping off that part of the schedule with a 33-0 trouncing of St. Alphonsus. Certainly with this fine team moving up to varsity next year football will con- tinue its winning tradition at Catholic Central. The frosh football team followed the example of excel- lence displayed by the JV and varsity teams as they finished with a 6-2-1 record for the season. Under the guidance of Coach Mike Witucky, the team played a tough, exciting brand of football which is right in the style of the CC football program. The frosh combined an excellent offense with a tenacious defense to chalk up lop-sided victories and two shut-outs. Their toughest contest of the season resulted in a scoreless deadlock with Brother Rice. Stand-outs Jay Snyder and Terry Malone provided the team with punchg however, the greatest thing about the frosh is that they played together as a team.

For the second year in a row CC finished as runners-up to U. of D. in the regionals, but this year CC finished a respectable 8th in the state compared to 39th in 1974. The team was led by senior co-captains Tom Smith and Larry Sands and junior Dan Tomakowski, who fired a 34 in CC's opening victory over Notre Dame. One highlight of the season was the naming of Tom Smith as recipient of the Catholic Leaguels Frank Guyott Leadership and Scholarship Award for excel- lence both on the course and in the classroom. Tom also received the team's MVP award while junior Paul Syrowik was voted most improved player. lk 1 FRONT ROW: John Zessin, Larry Sands, Bob Goodman, Tom Smith, Bill Parran.

Athletics - 53 A Season Full Of Surprises The I974 season of the Catholic Central Cross Country team can only be described as one full of surprises. Some were goodg many were disappointing. The season saw several runners blos- som into fine athletes under the superb coaching of Fr. Ken McKernan and Mr. Tony Magni. Many men prospered both physically and mentally from having the opportunity to become part ofthe team. However, the season itself was full of disappointments. The performance ofthe team did not live up to the expectation of the runners as they were plagued by continual injuries to Tom Soma, Dave Hubbel, Roy Stufflebean, Tom Zelinski, Tim Collins, and Tom Piazza. The problem was not in conditioning for, as Fr. McKernan stated, there has never been a team in better shape. The disheartening season seemed to wear on the runners who spent all oftheir time overcoming the disasters that occurred. There is no question that both the coaches and the team members are disappointed with their season, yet they do not feel the need to apologize for it. Not even the lack of spectators can assume all of the blame. FAR LEFT: Marty Oleszkowicz sets the pace. LEFT: Tom Soma mulls over his strategy.

Cagers Romp Despite Inexperience The 1974-75 Shamrock basketball team finished the sea- son with a 13-7 record. The season was marked by disap- pointing losses which led to CC relinquishing the Central Division crown they had held for the past three years. In league play the Shamrocks went 7-3, finishing in a tie with Brother Rice for second place. A coin flip, which was won by CC, broke the tie and permitted the Shamrocks to go to the Catholic League Play-Offs. The Shamrocks reached the Semi-Finals before being eliminated. In the State Tournament, the Shamrocks were elimin- ated in the first round, even though they played an excellent game against Kettering. The final score was a close 64-58. High points in the season were also numerous. CC won the Aquinas Tournament and also defeated Owosso and Ypsilanti, two strong outstate powers. Individual performances were also excellent. Tim McKee paced the team as its highest scorer with 371 points. Dave Cleary, another Senior, was the third highest scorer with 182 points. Other Seniors who contributed to the success of the team were Dan Griffin and Dave Gerry. Part of the reason for the team's seven losses was that the team was young and inexperienced. However, Junior Mike Prince was the team's second highest scorer with 343 points. With talent like Prince, Sophomores Dave Abel and Alan Mitchell, and the other underclassmen, the excellent basketball tradition at CC should continue in the years ahead.

' A Icemen Do Well In First Division This year the CC hockey team moved up from Second to First Division play. The team met the challenge and did well. It was not until the final round of the Mayor's Tour- nament that the Shamrocks lost to Ann Arbor Pioneer, a team they had 'beaten earlier in the season. In the first annual Michigan Hockey State Tournament, CC went all the way into the semi-finals against Calumet before being defeated. The '75 Shamrocks were an exciting team to watch as most of it was composed of veteran seniors. Who can forget the escapades of Mac Truck or the fleet-footed attacks of Tommy Michaels? Who can forget Mike Brown and Bryan Gruley as they greeted opponents at the blue line and then proceeded to re-surface the ice with them? I can still hear the whistle of Dave Kowal's slap shot and feel the air as Randy Repicky indulged in a little agitation. The high point of the spectator aspect had to have been the Lakeview game at Oak Park. Just to mention that game will suffice. All in all Coach Rick Repicky is to be commended for the job he has done. CC teams are getting better every year, and this is resulting in an increase in student interest and participation in Shamrock hockey. Q ' 9 5 ABOVE: What seems to be the trouble here?

L, W. .u'L.4L..... ,, Athletics - 6 Mrs. Yager And CC Swimmers Do It Again The saying goes that behind every successful man there is a woman. This year's swim team was no exception. In 1975 the CC swimmers went undefeated and won their fourth consecutive Catholic League championship, and their coach Mrs. Deloris Yager is the primary reason. She has been coaching the Shamrocks now for six seasons, and her program has paid off four times. Sure, the talent of her swimmers must also be taken into account, but that is just the point. She developed that talentg she is the one who made it into what it is now. Most of the swimmers on her championship teams could barely keep themselves afloat as freshmen, and yet as seniors they shatter records. The es- sential quality in any good coach is the ability to bring athletes to their full potential. That quality is called dedica- tion, something which is inherent in Mrs. Yager. She teaches at Mercy High all day. She coaches the Mercy Marlins after school, and then coaches CC later on in the evening. She does that everyday from September to March. She accepts no monetary reward from CCQ she does it because she loves it. All she asks is that her swimmers always try their hardest. When they see how much she lives for them, how can they possibly let her down? They don't. Four years of brass in a trophy case down the hall testifies to that fact. This year the team will lose seniors Tony Lesnau, Doug Uzelac, Rick Ruffing, Al Nitkiewicz, Jeff Bawol, and Glenn Joppich. They have all broken records. They will be missed, but rest assured the CC dynasty will not fall. 66 Athletics hm! 3 T L f .1 I' ...M . , -5 . v - L ii , 2h 4 3 -mug- jk j.. Athletics - 67 H , g ,, ,I+-', N -.1 J...1.

All State All American atmen Fall Just Short Of State Crown The dream of Number Five in Nineteen Seventy-Five almost became a reality for the 1974-75 Catholic Central Wrestling Team. This year's team finished fourth in the Michigan State Wrestling Tournament, missing the number one position by a very narrow margin. Under the direction of Mr. Mike Rodriguez, Catholic Central wres- tling teams have won four previous State Class A wrestling titles. Leading the wrestlers this year was Senior Dave Rodri- guez. Dave won the State Championship at 138 lbs. and was named an All-American High School Wrestler. Also greatly contributing to the success of wrestling at CC were Seniors Joe and Pat Ryan, who week after week won im- portant matches for the Shamrocks. Important contribu- tions were also made by Ron Rashid and Pat Garner. Hope for the future rests on the shoulders of the return- ing lettermen and the continued improvement of Freshmen wrestlers Jay Snyder and Nemir Nadhir.

Although the team lost four seniors from the year before, five people trying out for the team for the first time progressed and earned varsity slots. Coach Frank Garlicki called it lthc best team since I've been here. Although its record does not reflect it, the team enjoyed a fairly successful year. The team record was 13-8, with a 10-4 league record. The league record was good for third place, behind Austin and Brother Rice. The team went into the regional at Southfield with high hopes of winning. However, such was not the case. High point of the season and regional was Senior Don Callow. Don made it to the regional semi-finals before losing to the eventual regional champion. Even though the high hopes people had for the tennis team did not materialize, 1975 can still be considered a successful year for the team and those on it. . fr. l!ff 'g,, fi Athletics 75 Youth Shows Promise Under the coaching of Mr. Antony Magni and Fr. Ken McKernan, the 1974-75 Track Team made a good showing with some top individual performances. Senior Tom Soma ran his best personal time in the mile with a 4:27.2. Top point scorer for the season was Senior Don O'Connell, who aver- aged fifteen points a meet running both the low and high hurdles, and also high jumping. Although a Senior was top point scorer, the bulk of the team was composed of Sophomores. These Sophomores will be needed as Juniors next year, as only two Junior lettermen will be returning, Dave Hubbel and Gary Walega. Freshmen quarter-miler Ken Trader and miler John Young are expected to make strong showings on next year's team. The invaluable experience gained by this year's young team will definitely result in a very strong showing next year. 'an r ABOVE: Dave Hubbell knows he's going to win this race.

The Shamrocks played excellent- ly in one game, then the next day they would not look so good. The best games of the season were against Brother Rice and Austin. CC handed Rice their first league loss of the season in an excellently played game. Just the two sloppy losses to Notre Dame denied CC the chance to compete in the Catholic League Playoffs at Tiger Stadium. The shamrocks finished the Catholic League season with a 5-5 record. Their overall record was 13-10. ABOVE: Bob McKenna puts everything into this pitch. TOP: Is Dave going to go? LEFT: Who's that praying down at the end of the bench?

'Father and Son bowling, student bowl- ing, junior intramural basketball, senior intramural basket- ball, and hockey were all available this year as in the past. However, during the '75 school year senior intramural soccer was added to the list, along with a senior ping-pong tournament. And of course the freshmen participated in inter-homeroom cross country, a program sponsored by the CC cross country team designed to find new talent. I cannot remember a year when CC students had greater access to the school's athletic facilities. This year the athle- tic department was most generous in scheduling gym time for students who were not members of any CC team. A fine intramural program does much to make student life more enjoyable.

Watts in his twenty-fifth year as director. The high point of the season came in Class AA District Band Competition where the band received first division rat- ings for its fine performance. The success of the band has rested largely on the dedication of its nucleus of seniors: Randy Bowers, Brian Watson, Ken Rice, Chris Conlin, John Ryan, and Ed Coakley. The strength of the band's underclass- men became apparent when band members returned from District Solo and Ensemble Festival with forty-nine first divi- sion medals. Fourteen members of the band won twenty-one additional first division medals in state competition. Bill Wy- man won three medals, and Don Bartoviak, Alan Grimm, Ken Rice, Steven Rice, and Mary Schiappacasse each won two medals. Other winners were John Haddad, Ken Czech, Charles Nabor, Kevin Riley, James Rose, Brian Watson, Steve Yim, and Tom DiPonio. Well-attended and enthusiastically-applauded were the band's Christmas Concert in the school gym and the Spring Concert at St. Scholastica's. Instrumental in the band's success were the members of the Band Council: President Randy Bowers, Vice-Presidents Don Bartoviak and James Rose, Treasurer Ken Rice, Secre- tary Ken Czech, Junior Rep Charles Barnes, Sophomore Rep Bill Wyman, and Freshmen Rep John Drain. As traditional as football and basketball at CC are the marching and pep bands which provide first class entertain- ment for the fans and help to generate CC's famous spirit for the games. Behind drum major Charles Barnes and the dedi- cation of Randy Bowers, both of these band activities had fine years. - umwiiig. TOP: The traditional CC look. LEFT: Here come the sham- rocks!

A tour of shopping centers and office buildings to serenade Christmas shoppers followed the highly successful introductions. In the spring, they performed for Masses and concerts at Gesu, Precious Blood, and St. Scholastica's. After this rather traditional beginning, the Glee Club tried something unique. The CC Glee Club combined with a select group of girls for Clarancevill Senior High. They planned rehear- sals, named committees, and organized a concert entitle Vive la Musique , which was performed at Clarenceville's Louis E. Schmidt Auditorium. The proceeds of this concert were donated to public television, WTVS Channel 56 in Detroit. Mr. Don Zielinski will miss the thirteen graduating Seniors, but has a nucleus of underclassmen who will uphold the tradition of musical excellence established long ago at Catholic Central. 4 ,. .ns ,lg :fi TOP FAR LEFT: Glee president, Brian Carmody.

In keeping with tradition, the Student Council planned and organized the Annual Boy's Bowl Parade and Assembly. After Christmas, Student Council thought turn to DRIVE. With the guidance of Moderator Fr. Norbert Clemens, a Drive theme was cho- sen, assemblies planned, and finally, on the first day of the Drive, the entire school was decorated according to the theme Monsters . Hard workers on the Drive included Student Council Active Kevin McKay, Mike Detz, Frank DeBrincat, and Mike Carpenter. The Council was also responsible for a very successful Diamond Jim Party. A Student Exchange Program wasinitiated with Mercy High School. Students from Catholic Central and Mercy spent a day visiting the other school attending classes and meeting afterwards to discuss ways to improve each school. Of special interest to the Seniors was the Council project of redecorating the student lounge. Special thanks go to Sen- ior Rick Roman for his efforts in this endeavor. wifi..-' I Activities 95 96 Activities Lumen Club: For The Young Scientist The 1974-75 Lumen Club, despite low membership, con- tinued its winning ways at the DETROIT NEWS -spon- sored Science and Engineering Fair of Metropolitan De- troit.

In addition, CC took seven First Awards and many other Second and Special Awards, plus several outside awards given by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, US Army, US Navy, and Association of Systems Manage- ment. The Lumen Club is not only active during the Science Fair. With the assistance of Fr. John Depa, Moderator, many guest lecturers appeared with an extensive variety of topics.

In Debate the four-man team of Jeff Burds, Pat Lamb, Gary May, and Dan McCarthy enjoyed a very fine season. In addition to winning a large number of league debates, this team reached the semifinals in the Michigan State Tournament, losing only to the eventual state champion. Also contribut- ing to the team's great success were Jim Pfau and Mike Duggan. The Catholic Central Debate Team had its best season ever. This fine team won the National Catholic Debate Title, the first school in the state of Michigan to achieve this prestigious distinction. Participating in this team victory in Philadelphia were Dan McCarthy, Gary May, Pat Lamb, Jeff Burds, Mike Duggan and Dan Bernard. Special congratulations are extended to Mr. Frank Gar- licki, Debate and Forensic Coach, not only for winning the National Catholic title in Debate, but also for having an outstanding debating season. With Mike Duggan, Jeff Burds, and Jim Pfau returning for another season of competition, continued success in the 1975-76 season is assured. 7.4 WF NP 1 l f 5 h 1 .

Promoting cultural assemblies, encounters with students from other schools, and the tutoring of fellow students were but a few of the functions of this year's N.H.S. Led by President Dan Bernard, Vice-President Larry Peck Secretary Tom Kowalski, Treasurer Don O'Connell, and mo- derator Mr. Noelke, the general membership responded enth- usiastically to executive proposals. Cultural assemblies included the Mercyaires, Our Lady of Mercy High SchooI's touring choir, irI'the second quarter and a public speaking assembly in the fourth quarter which brought to CC some of the finest forensic talent ever assem- bled in one place. Many students benefitted from the knowledge ofthe N.H.S. upperclassmen in the tutoring program ofCatholic Central.

This dedicated group of men have put on many fund raising events during the course of the school year, all for the betterment of C.C. Money raised by this illustrious group purchased a new school bus, paid for the remodeling of the school offices, and equipped all C.C.'s fine athletic teams. In addition, they underwrote the cost for the Awards Banquets at Roma Hall honoring outstanding Catholic Central scholars and athletes. The Catholic Central Mothers, Club is an indespensible aid to the Catholic Central Family. In addition to providing much needed financial support for the school, the Mothers' Club is also a social organization. President Mrs. Roselynn Bagdady continued the tradition of Saturday Mothers' Club Masses, the Easter Fashion Boutique, and the Basilian Christmas Party. On a regular meeting nights in November and March, the Mothers' Club sponsored Parent-Faculty nights. During these occasions mothers and fathers were given the opportunity to discuss their son's academic progress with each of their son's teachers. 1 The students of Catholic Central once again extend a sincere thank-you to all members of the Mothers' Club and the Dads, Club for all their efforts on behalf of Catholic Central.

Franklin Mizzi, C.S.B., Catholic Central Principal, the most important part of his job is the idea of Spiritual Unity for the administration, the faculty, and the students. An attitude conducive to learning and student happiness and pride rank as equally important goals. In this first year as Principal, Fr. Mizzi has accomplished much toward the realization of these goals. As Assistant Principal in charge of academics, Fr. John Whit- ley, C.S.B. is involved in curriculum development, responding to the academic needs of individual students, and all the school's scheduling. Mr. Robert Santello, Disciplinarian, views his role in the school as maintaining the learning atmosphere. With student cooperation, the need for a Disciplinarian diminishes.

Academics - 1 19 Guidance Staff Provides Direction Service to the individual student is the philosophy of the Catholic Central Guidance Department. Whether it be a per- sonal, academic, or career problem, the Counselor was there to give the necessary guidance. Fr. Joseph Mitrano, Senior Counselor, spent the majority of his time assisting in the selecting of colleges for the Class of Q25. I don't push any school , says Fr. Mitrano, I enjoy seniors able to make important decisions for themselves. Fr. Richard Elmer served as Junior Counsellor. Junior year traditionally means the year of national testing, principally the SAT and ACT Tests. Preparation for these tests and interpre- tation of test results occupied much of Fr. Elmer's counseling responsibilities. Fr. Genca, Sophomore Counselor, implemented four goals during the past year: the updating of student records as a counseling tool, helping students getting into the courses best suited to their needs, the establishment of a four-year guidance outline, and helping ninth and tenth graders getting started on the right foot. Mr. Noelke, Freshman Counsellor, stated that adjustment to high school and homework were major areas of difficulty. 120 Academics 1 XR L LEFT: Senior counselor Fr.

These basic skills include grammar, techniques of writing, an ap- preciation of literature, and basic communication skills. n English IV, taught by Mr. Robert Scheuermann and Mr. James Albulov, concentrates on a study of major English authors, critical reading and writing, and extemporaneous speeches.

Canning Harrison use a basic oral approach to accomplish their goals. Mrs. Brady has the responsibility of directing the entire German program. After four years, she takes great pride in the accomplishments of the German students on standardized tests. The Spanish Department concluded its second year at Cath- olic Central. Under Mr. Tony Hogan and Mr. Tony Uriarte the program will be expanded in the years to come. Mr. George Laskowski, coming to Catholic Central after the untimely death of Fr.

Led by Fr. Ned Donaher, the Frosh upheld CC tradition by leading the entire school in ticket sales during the Drive. They learned responsibility and committment by participating in the various school sponsored teams, clubs, and organizations. In the class- room, many of the Frosh had their first experience with a solid academic curriculum. Highlighting the Freshmen athletic year was the bas- ketball team with a 19-1 record.

Members of the Class of 1976 contributed immensely to this year's varsity squads and to 57 the science fair by placing first and second. Although placing last in the drive , the Juniors showed no lack of spirit in their third year at CC, which gives the school great hope for the upcoming year.

Senior leadership was most strongly ex- pressed during the. first half of the year, but nevertheless, senior cooperation was present throughout the entire year. The fact that principal Fr. Mizzi had taught every one of the seniors last year added much to the creation of a unified atmosphere. If during the second semester the senior class began to split up and move in different directions, I suppose that no one should have been surprised. It seems only natural for seniors to take their talents and look toward the future, seeking their own road in life. The Class of '75 did indeed possess numerous diverse talents. 005 fig! 0,1 af Timothy Anderson Robert Arens -.Z Daniel Asody Michael Barton 178 Seniors f Why' x , ' Jeffrey Bawol Martin Beagen Timothy Belback Greg Bellamy Daniel Bernard Kevin Boland --e' Regis Bowers Thomas Brady --5 Nd Michael Brown David Broxholm John Buelk Patrick Butker bw.. na: 7- 2' --N fha? pf!! ? 9Q:!::,f . v,f gl i Mark Butwill Donald Callow Michael Caltabiano Brian Carmody Seniors - 179 .-...fa . 245 X J ,xii- ' NE? if Mrchael Carpenter AP' -ag-ff Mlchael Cecile Gary Charette Joseph Charnawskas Thomas Chrnstenson Wllllam Clark -if G, if-' ' -f - :ss 'N .tl I 4 l David Cleary A Timothy Coffey E!...

My sincere hope is that l speak with you individually in these words even though it is done in a collective manner. The motto with which you have lived while at Catholic Central has been teach me goodness, discipline, and know- ledge. And the perfect model we all have who lived this motto is Jesus Christ. My words to you now are those from the homily given at your Baccalaureate Mass. They are repeated at this time to emphasize the necessity of our discipleship. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up QLuke 41. There were people there who had known him as a little boy, playing with bits of wood in .loseph's workshop. Or as a youth, working at his f'ather's trade, going up into the hills at times to be alone, or to talk with the shepherds. He had gone away for a long time, and now he was back. He had already stood with his cousin John in the Jordan River. The Holy Spirit had descended upon him. A voice had said, This is my beloved son, in whom l am well pleased. His flesh weak with fasting, he had resisted the temptations of Satan in the wilderness. ln Galilee he was beginning to create a stir. But in Nazareth, he was just .loseph's boy. He had returned and he was different. A grown man should be giving thought to his future. He should have a job, a wife, a family. Respectability. But he came back from the wilderness lean and dusty, and probably in need of a shave. There was a new thing in his eyes that was not quite softness and not quite fire. He said crazy things and he said them in the synagogue. And they rejected him, they jeered him, they ran him out of town. They took him to a cliff to throw him off. But he passed through the midst of them and went his way. That's the part that hangs up a lot of people. How did he pass through the midst of them? Did he make himself invisible? Did he put a Colgate shield around Him? lf you look for a magic trick you miss the point. Strong men have faced down mobs before and won. The important part is that he went his way. That's a very assertive statement. That means he knew he had things to do, that he had places to go. That he had to be about his Father's business. He did not know, perhaps, all that the Father would ask of him. He knew that his education was not complete and he wanted to get on with it. He went his way. And he had said, Solemnly I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. We're not that much different from .loseph's boy. We've been away from home for a while and now will be away for longer periods of time. We've all spent .some time in our lown private varieties of wilderness. We've learned a lot. Hopefully we haven't'let our classes interfere too much with our education. We've seen our strengths and our weaknesses. There have been a lot of Monday mornings and a lot of Friday nights. We've loved, we've grown. We're different people than we used to be. We've shared our lives with new people, we've learned to love new things. And many times, the people at home have a hard time realizing what their sons have been through. They remember us as we were, and often can't accept what we've become. At least, not right away. And the hardest thing of all forthe people back in Nazareth to accept is this: I must go my way. You can throw me out ofthe synagogue and you can show me to the city limits, but l will go my way. In peace. To love and to serve. That's what it all comes down to. That's what we should have been learning in these years, and what we should never stop learning. To love and to serve other people. The people at home, the people we have yet to meet. There have been many times when its been very easy to get wrapped up in ourselves, in our studies, in our intellects. Well, the writer of Eccleasiastes says a few things to us intellectual types. Of making many books there is no endg and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Books are to be studied, people are to be loved. And when it comes to a choice between the two, we must know what comes first. He went his way. And his way is love. They ask us what is Christian education about. And we can never tell them. We can only love them, and go our way, and rejoice quietly when we see that our way and his way are much the same. , . srl? ,,,7,,,,, Senior Directory Anderson, Timothy - 19928 Archdale Arens, Robert- 24230 Berg, Southfield Asody, Daniel- 33417 Lamoyne, Livonia Barton, Michael- 30280 Oakview, Livonia Bawol, Jeffrey - 26814 Dover Beagen, Martin - 17849 Fairview, Livonia Belback, Timothy - 6686 Clifton Bellamy, Greg - 20512 Trinity Bernard, Daniel- 19510 Biltmore Boland, Kevin - 17173 Heyden Bowers, Regis - 19363 Lucerne Brady, Thomas - 22330 Lawrence, Dearborn Brown, Michael- 8631 Terry Broxholm, David - 36559 Marler, Livonia Buelk, John - 16815 Patton Butler, Patrick - 17340 Sumner Butwell, Mark - 12867 Parkway Callow, Donald - 9963 Seminole Caltabiano, Michael- 3580 Veronica, Mad, Hgts.

Believe me when I say that this book represents countless hours of hard work and imagination, and the conquest of numerous problems. The absence of Fr. Barnes in the photography department was felt significantly. Inexperience brought with it more than any- one's share of anguish. Enough of causes for delay, it's over and done with. And so is the year. To try and summarize the year in this article seems ridiculous to me, especially after having slaved for just about a year laying out two hundred pages to do just that. 1975 was different for each individual student. I just hope that this book contains a part that every individual can relate to and identify with. I hope that every individual student can find a part of himself within it. If so, then I have succeeded. Assistance in putting this book together was not in abundance. However, I made it with a little help from my friends. I would like to thank these people now. I thank Joe Shubitowski for all of his darkroom workg I thank Chris Murphy for his all-purpose help and his company during many long hours. I thank Mr. John Wilson for his typing and patience, John Ziraldo for his lay-outs and eagerness, Patricia Kelly for her art work, Mr. Tom Nesbitt for his advice with art design, my dad who give up one week of his summer vacation to help me, and finally my family for their understanding. Good luck in whatever you do. Now it is time to say good- bye , but only until we meet again. Mike Carpenter Editor Editor's Page l 1 X. 4 i 1 w 1 1 1 I 1 4
