AWARD WINNERS Many Students Honored For Achievement Every school is filled with people who work hard and excel in various activities. By the time these people reach their senior year, local organi- zations feel they need to be recog- nized for their efforts. The Exchange Club honored Matt Kendrick and Susie Klinker with a Youth of the Month award. The two were treated to lunch at Morris Bryant Inn, where they were pre- sented with a plaque and were intro- duced to the Exchange Club mem- bers. Anne Roetker received a simi- lar award from the optimist Club. Dominic Halsmer and Martha May were nominated for the Elks Scholarship. They competed with students from other high schools for monetary awards. There was also a possibility that they would be able to compete on the state level. In June, Maggie Gloyeske and Susie Klinker were delegated to Hoosier Girls ' State. Dominic Halsmer participated in Hoosier Boys ' State. The programs were sponsored by the American Legion and the American Legion Auxilary. The three spent a week on the cam- pus of Indiana State University, where they learned about state gov- ernment by setting up one of their own. Dominic was the campaign manager for John Brown, who was elected governor of Boys ' State. Maggie and Susie both agreed that the best thing about Girls ' State was meeting so many people. The peo- ple were great, Maggie said. At the end of the week it seemed like I ' D known them all my life! This year, twelve senior students, six girls and six boys were selected and honored by the Lafayette Ro- tary Club. Every five weeks a Rotary Club member would meet with two seniors and take them to Morris Bry- ant for a smorgasbord luncheon. During the course of the meeting, the students were introduced and received around of applause for their achievements. These were just a few of the stu- dents who were awarded for their efforts. Many others CC students were recognized throughout the year. These people deserved to be rewarded for all the good things they do for their community and CC. 38 award winners

ALUMNI Assistance Appreciated By CC What are alumni? They are the special people who can proudly say that they are graduates of Central Catholic. Alumni are important to any school, but they are especially important to CC. Our alumni support us in many ways. They do volunteer work, like Julie (Lerzak) MacKellar ( ' 75), who helped the Lance staff complete the yearbook. Mary Anthrop, ( ' 68), a member of the faculty, was in charge of a historical display on Catholic schools during Catholic Schools Week. During Catholic Schools Week, Gene Hatke ( ' 67) came to CC and talked to the students about his ex- periences with Catholic schools. He gave his talk during the homeroom meditation, and stressed the fact that CC would always be a life-long friend. Other CC alumni were members of the faculty and coached various athletic teams. Keith Lehnen ( ' 70), Tim Wolf (64), and Jim Croussore ( ' 62) filled these positions. Dave Worland ( ' 73) wasn ' t on the faculty, but he coached the cross country and the boys ' JV basketball teams. Robin Kerr ( ' 75) assisted Dave as Basketball coach. Beth Conley ( ' 77) and Anna Hilt ( ' 77) helped coa ch the girls ' swim team. Many times, our alumni were our biggest fans. They lined up along the fence at the football games or sat behind the team at basketball games. They bought tickets to see the play, or came to see the music department ' s Christmas concert. Some alumni came to FSA meetings and talked about what their jobs are like. Alumni bought fruit from the band, lights from the sophomores and glasses from the juniors. They supported nearly all of our money making projects — probably be- cause they remembered what it ' s like to go door to door selling boxes of candy or cartons of fruit. Alumni — without their input, CC couldn ' t survive. Their support helps prove to everyone that our school is worth all the effort it takes to keep it going.
