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.
