Students during the 1960's sought to expand their horizons while living up to the school's motto. The National Honor Society started in 1965 to recognize students who best live up to CC's motto. NHS members shared their God given gifts with others through tutoring and the annual food drive. French and German were added to Latin classes so students could explore the cultures of other countries. The Chess club, Debating club, Film-study club, were added to the numerous after school clubs in 1960. Students could also join the newly formed Ski team and Swimming team. The band, in 1967, was honored greatly by being selected to represent the United States at the Montreal Expo. Catholic Central taught students to face the changing ideas they were to face in the world. Top: Hockey players take their ice where they can find it- this time on the back campus.
