Throughout our four years of schooling they have taught us more than just academics. They sparked our creativity and imagination and helped us grow to a better understanding of ourselves and others. To the faculty we owe a lot, for they were the spark, the beginning. 10 11 Administration With the 79-80 school year came many changes in the ad- ministration and faculty, in keeping with Central's high standard of performance.

Ur all knew it was rime The an- ticipation of a victory was high We felt no disap- pointment that night The tearless Crusaders pounded the Knights into the ground with a victory 59 The Central Catholic Crusaders entered the 1979 football season with a small and inexperienced team and it showed the first two games with a tie at Marietta and a loss to Walsh. But the Crusaders were determined to have a very respectful season and reeled off five straight victories before losing to St. Vincent- St. Mary. The victories were over Bishop Watterson, Cleveland Collinwood, our rival Timken, and a first ever victory over Louisville. The homecoming game in which we defeated East Palestine will be most remembered for the goal line stand in the closing seconds of the game. The Crusaders finished the season with a come-from-behind victory over Canton South. The last game of the season was with arch-rival St. Thomas Aquinas. The big green machine played one of its best games of its year and totally destroyed the Knights. It was a great feeling to finish a tremendous season with such a fantastic game. 60 The Crusader goiters ended their spectacular season with a 26-S record For the First year our goiters were a parr of the Stark-Metro Golf league along with Aquinas.

One Sunday in May is set aside to honor the Blessed Mother with a Mass and May Crowning. Due to inclement weath- er, this year’s festivities were held in our school cafeteria. This year, recitation of the Holy Rosary to pray for the hostages held in Iran had been requested by so many and therefore was added to the program. The CCHS girls participated in the May Crowning and for the first time, the First Communion Classes in Stark County were invited to march in the colorful procession. Mr. Richard Blaumeiser lead the singing and Mike James, Senior Violin Soloist, played during the May Crowning. After the religious services, activities included an Old-Fashioned Band and Choral Concert by CCHS students under the direction of Mr. John Ebner and Mr. Blaumeiser. Mary Jo Streh and Party- Carton wrrt chosen to crown the Blessed Mother 116 First Communion Classes participated in the celebration. Fr.
