The record is not clear, but it appears that Mount Saint ph Academy closed sometime in 1887. When Saint Mary's School reopened in September-of that year,'it was under the ction of the Sisters of Charity. Their tenure in Knoxville was brief, but under their direction a formal high school curricu- was introduced at Saint Mary's School. In 1896 control of the school passed to the Sisters of Mercy. 'om the end of the Civil War to the turn of the century, the number of students in the Catholic school grew steadily essita ' g expansion in both the curriculum and the space occupied by the school. Between 1883 and 1886 the school ted in a rented house on Park Street lnow Magnolia Avenuel while a new Immaculate Conception Church was con- :ted on Sunimitiill. With completion of the new church, the school moved into classroom space in the church base- it. Shortly after compggon o4fTl'le church, a three-story convent was constructed adjacent to the church. In 1898 the ers were displaced fromgth convent and the building was converted into classrooms. The Sisters moved into a rented se on Asylum Avenueineiliiiwemsteglguel. ln 1903 new classrooms were constructed at the rear of the convent, and Sisters were able to reoccupyqtheir living quarters in the convent. ftlleltturn of the century Catholic edifatibn had left an indelible mark on the Knoxville community.

This realization can be seen not only in the physical building lalthoug each part of the development is uniquel but also in the curriculum and extracurricular activities or fered at KCHS. The evolution of this dream has produced an institution recognized for excellenc in Catholicism, academics, and sports displayed by the graduates.

The school also strives to provide instruction in Chris- tian truth and values as the underlying real- ity through which students understand human knowledge. As a Christian commu- nity, KCHS seeks to increase the sense of Christian fellowship among its students and teachers by creating an atmosphere of friendship, love, and trust. Moreover, it seeks to develop a concern for community service and a commitment to the social skills and virtues needed for effective serv- ice to others. By attempting to realize this three-fold educational purpose, KCHS seeks to encourage young people to develop into mature young adults moti- vated by deep-set principles of love for God and for all men and women. lil LLE 3 History of land The present Catholic high school is built on a land grant from the state of North Carolina to james White, on October 18, 1795. The property remained in the White family until 1816 when 748Vz acres were sold to Rufus Morgan. The Mor- gan family retained the acreage until 1854 when it was sold to William Sneed, who, a few months later sold 152 acres to lohn Shields. Here Mr. Shields built a large, brick octagon-shaped house with a rotunda. In 1859 G. M. Branner, grandfather of Miss Rodgers, bought the property from Mr. Shields and lived there with his family until it was taken over by the Federalists during the Civil War. The Federalists gave the Branner family safe conduct out of Tennessee in return for the the kindness they showed a sick general, even though they were Confederate sympathizers. The house was destroyed by Confederate bombardment, and after the close of the war the Branners returned and built a new house, fthe present onel on the old site. It faces Magnolia ave- nue, which was named for Magnolia Branner, wife fo G. M. Branner, who gave the right-of-way for the street. 1 After Mr. Branner's death, Mrs. Branner sold the property to a son, H. Bryan Branner, who lived there with his family until it was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Greg Ashe in 1913. The Ashe family occupied the home until 1932, when Mr. Edward Ashe, act- ing as trustee for his mother's estate, sold the property to Bishop Alphonse I. Smith of the Dio- cese of Nashville for 525,000 Spirit of the Green and Gold, guiding us through happy days. E'er victorious as of old, help us over life's rough ways. K.C.H.S. we honor thee.

The October issue of the school paper for the 1953-54 school year sported a new name, and then 1959 saw the r additional publication of a school annual. Knoxville Catholic High School's pride and joy, The Gold and Blue, brought its outstanding history to a close October 18, 1953 with the printing of the first paper of the 1953-54 school year, The new staff by a unanimous vote and with all necessary approval decided to change the name of the school paper to Green and Gold. Due to a change of school color, the change in the name of the paper was almost essential, Although the name was changed, the qualities admired and awarded in the Gold and Blue were Ucarried on in the Green and Gold. For the school year 1958-59, KCHS published its first yearbook, The Shamrock. This yearbook began a tradition of many award-winning yearbooks to follow.

We can't lose With the stuff We've got When you're up, you're up When you're down, you're down When you're up against CATHOLIC You're upside down. y, the end of this decade completed twenty-seven years of building a 'lwinning tradition of religious education, emic and sports excellence, a tradition that was Uhard to beat by any other school. KCHS was hard to beat in Christian iction, exellence in staff, rapid expansion of campus and enrollment, fun, and memories. During this decade, as with those re it, the theme of Knoxville Catholic High, l1That I may Bear Christ was the focus of all activities.

But whatever the choice, all students had obtained a goal, a purpose, an ideal to strive given to them by their experience and education at KCHS. Perhaps Bill Sherman fFather Sherman 1940-19701, editor of rst annual Shamrock, expressed it best in the first annual, when he said that The truths of our religion are not merely for lassroomg but we must be ready to, not only bear Christ in our own lives, but become Christ Bearers' to those we meet r quest for happiness .

Wiki I 1 14. mr My KX 92 K HS, 1960'sp preparation for adult lift During the sixties many minorities were continuing to struggle for equality, particularly the Black population of America by leaders such as Martin Luther King, Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown they would fight for their civil rights with force that eventually during the johnson administration many laws enforcing the rights of minorities would become the 'lla the land. Most of the strife during this time was caused by the integration of public schools. Many school districts were fc literally at gunpoint to administer, under the law, equal and quality education to all students. This was not the case howex KCHS. During the sixties black students came to our school and their participation and contributions to all aspects of l KCHS was then and continues today to be outstanding. lronically, school systems in the South would be the fir desegregate. By the end of the decade, close to 802 of all Southern public school districts would be desegregated. U tunately the man who brought racial equality into the spotlight for all to see would also be assassinated. Martin Luther King backbone of the Civil Rights movement, was murdered by lames Earl Ray in April of 1968. Also, that same year in lune, Robert Kennedy would be assasinated while campaigning for his party's presidential nor tion. After a speech to a group of followers in Los Angeles he was shot in a hotel kitchen by Sirhan Sirhan thus completin incredible string of political murders that would occur during the sixties. By the later years of the decade the Vietnam war had expanded into a national source of disagreement and frustration. military leaders insisted that victory was imminent but the populace was not so sure. At KCHS during this time the student I was at first almost totally in favor of our involvement in the conflict as evidenced by the petitions and letters of suppc various political leaders of the time. However, in the summer of 1968 for the first time polls showed that more Americans ' against our participation than those who supported it. While the debate raged, honorable young Americans would die many more would be wounded, KCHS did not escape untouched by the war. Many Alumni would serve and sadly, former students, lohn Balitsaris '66 and Bobby McLoughlin '64, lost their lives in service to their country. All was not somber at KCHS during the sixties. We had some of the best of times. The 60's music was and still is a large of everyday life and during this time there would be an explosion of musical talent that has yet to be equalled. ln the earl ties we danced and had fun with Chubby Checker and The Twist. Every school year brought dances where bands player music of groups like little Anthony and the lmperials, The Lettermen, The Supremes, The Four Tops, Franki Vali and The Seasons. Then the British invasion took place and the super group The Beatles captured our attention along with the I Clark Five, The Kinks,The Who and the incomparable Rolling Stones. American groups like The Mamas and the Papas, F Paul and Mary, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beach Boys provided endless hours of enjoyment. Near the end of the decad music became strong and powerful and occasionally reflected the national malcontent and attitudes of youth. Then mus Steppenwolf, lim Hendrix, Bob Dylan, lanis loplin, loan Biaz, and the Moody Blues became popular. Of course, the himself, Elvis Presley, was at his peak during this time. All of these performers and many others contributed tremendous our dances and parties which were held whenever any logical excuse could be presented. From a technological point of view, students at KCHS during the sixties saw incredible advances. Starting with the flig lohn Glenn in Friendship 7, America started on a path that would eventually lead to the first flight to land on the moon oi 20, 1969. The space program had begun in earnest by President Kennedy who in 1961 had set a goal to reach the moon b end of the decade. His dream was fulfilled with only six months to spare. Partially because of the space program, comp became an institution in everyday American life. A network of communications satellites improved worldwide communica dramatically and new advances in medicine were made. Students at KCHS also witnessed important social changes during this time. For the first time since the thirties America vs experience a wide open drug culture. Many young people would become habitual users, and as illustrated by the deat certain rock stars many would not survive their dependency. Attitudes about marriage and divorce would change drasti Women would demand equal treatment and equal pay and this spawned the birth of the modern Women's Liberation m ment which continues even today. The strong and constant influences of the legacy of learning at KSCH sustained and cushioned many of these overwhel changes. Children of the sixties are survivors. They, like their parents of the forties, experienced extreme happiness crushing despair. They claim no monopoly on adversity. However, the experiences and education at KCHS, has serve prepare us for the rigors of later life. Those who remember their experiences during the sixties know that the 60's were and continue to be now part of a unique American generation. l 4 .vu Xin WIHWQQ ' 'f 'Zu Nm A lu s.-..r l I, , rx F ,J- -P. 4 J 1695 1 ' ' 1 n 'YW f Ng,-f Q gusw,-,..-H V ang tm ana Tsungsha ,, 1 wmamoff vu 1 5'-af' If X n mn ,v -4' a N' ,V f na 5+ IW GMM, , apps Ni-mm 'Q , J CH!

Move over sister. Having a principal who is almost liki father. Being in gym class half dressed and having the bell ring. Having Father Mankel tell you to keep your love life outsi school-and you don't even have a love life. School life during the 70's exhibited many changes. KCHS initiated a tuiti program whereby students pay tuition based on their ability to pay. Other changes included G Day enrichment progra division of the Nashville Diocese tNashviIle Diocese and Memphis Diocesel, and the appointment of a new bishop - Bishi lames Niedergresses, Diocese of Nashville. During the 1970's the dominant figure was Rev. Xavier Mankel, the principal from 1970 to 1979. It can honestly be si that he lived for the school and kept its interests always in mind. Everything that went on revolved around him. Even I mischief was predicated on considerations of what could be gotten away with and what Fr. Mankel would do if found out. Father Mankel's influence will continue to be evidenced at KCHS. Another KCHS graduate, Sister Mary Delellis Allison, R.S.M. has for the last 21 years fand still to datel continued to fluence many students with her dedication and expertise. Many other faculty members, both religious and lay, played an important part of life in the 70's. Coach Bill Deatherai KCHS Class of '68, sparked an enthusiasm in sports and life for many, many students during the 70's. Sister loel, Serei Agnita, Louradette, Andre, Lawrence Mary, Rose, Howard, Ethel, and Emmanuel, Sisters of Mercy, all served as teachi during the 70's. Sister Louise, Sisters of Charity, and Fathers Mankel, Campion, Strobel Ericson, Cooper, Humbrecht, and Funk completes the religious staff. Lay members included: Mrs. Parris, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Harr, Mrs Eisele, Miss Olsen, Mrs. Rodgers, Coach Harkelroad, Miss Flemm, Mr. Brice, Mrs. Reynolds, Mrs. Raman, Miss Ad- cock, Mrs. Huntsinger, Mrs. Ricker, Mr. Stevens, Mrs. lones, Miss Ingram, Mrs. Husch Mrs. Hargrove, Coach Deatherage, Miss Scharer, Mr. Oliver, Mr. Holbrook, Father Funk Mrs. Lytle, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Frazier, Mrs. Carton, Christy Buzzard, Mike DeBakker, Mrs. Ryan, Ms. Crum, Miss Ott, Mrs. Cristeson, Coach lohn DeBakker, Mrs. Lobe, Mrs. Martin Mr. Moore, Coach Ledford, Mrs. Holtzmer, Mr. Ward, Miss Chandler, Ms. Moore, and Coach McMahon. Down through the years KCHS has been fortunate to have had very good coaches to instmct young men and women in athletic competition. Names such as Red Kidd, Fr. Thoni, Bob Shoffner, lim Monroe, ludy Huntsinger, Glenn Campbell and Susan Kennedy are just a few that come up when thoughts of great coaches come to mind. Another coach that left his mark on Irish athletics is a KCHS graduate himself Bill Deatherage. Bill brought the basketball program into the limelight during the 70 s by coaching teams that produced countless distnct regional and state honors and sent four teams to the state championship that added two runner up trophies to the schools collection of awards But another contribution that the flamboyant and controversial coach made was something more intangible Irish Pride KCHS has always been proud of their athletic prowess but during the 70 s the fans went wild over the success of the teams A Deatherage coached team would strike fear into the hearts of the opposition and iustifiably so since during his tenure the Irish would win against small schools big schools backwoods officiating irate and violent fans racial and religious prejudices etc etc Sooner or later in the 70 s if your school sponsored a basketball team the Irish would beat you So what is accomplished by all the hoopla and awards? Many would say that games are games and the results are of little consequence However society has shown that athletics contributes much to the character and general well being of people by providing a chance to succeed with humility and fall with grace One of the greatest ioys of coaching and teaching is seeing children become intel ent well-rounded adults read to acce t the challen es of later heritage already established by his predecessors Thanks to you Bill and to all those other teachers and coaches who have dedicated a part of their lives to the children and Irish Pride' A ' lis . .

First year head coach Bill Deatherage took the 69-70 men's team to a respectable 9-15 record. The Irish, led by Capt. lohn Long, Bo Connor, Wilfred Seals, lohn Collins and Frank Bowden provided exciting basketball at KCHS with their reckless defense and wide op offense. The Lady Irish were a lonely group because they were the only girls team remaining in Knoxville since all other schools had abandoned the women's program. The team was led by Captain Barbara Dougherty, Kip Puleo, Cristy Bussard and Cinda Crumley. In 70-71 the men's team were crowni District S A Division Champs. The tall team was led in scoring by Frank Bowden and Felix Gaitor with strong support from lohn Mihalczo, lohn MacDonali and David Patterson. Girls basketball was discontinued due primarily to the amount of travel and expense that was involved in sponsoring a team. The 71-72 Irish again captured the District Championship by virtue of the outstanding play of Tom Heffernan, Mike Zanolli, Bill Gann, Bill Skaggs, George Staffney, Steve Atkins and Matt Brown. The team presented the Sisters of Mercy with an award for being the most faithful and dedicated fans. The basketballers came on strong in 72-73 and highlighted the year by capturing the schools first Regional Championship. Led by George Staffney, Matt Brow loe Fritz, Greg Patterson, Mike DeWine, Bill Gann and Stuart Schaad this team went further in the playoffs than any KCHS team to date. Matt Brown and George Staffney were both named to the all-tournament team. The next year, 73-74, the team went all the way to the Championship game of the A Division State Tournament in Memphis only to lose a one-point heartbreaker to Happy Valley. This team established many records during the year such a most wins in a season I31l, and most consecutive wins l26l. They also repeated as regional champs and were rated as the number 1 A Division team in thi state entering into the tournament. Leading players on this team were Matt Brown iMVPl, lohn lellicorse iMost Determinedi, Greg Patterson 111091. awarr and Mike DeWine lMad Dog awardl. Other stars were Matt Balitsaris, lohn Krusenklaus, George Staffney and Chris Ball. All of Knoxville saluted the Irish when Mayor Testerman dedared March 20, 1975 as KCHS Day in Knoxville. The 74-75 Irish, supposedly in a rebuilding year, swamped area teams and again advanced to the regional tournament. Co-Captains Mike DeWine and Greg Farmer were ably supported by Chris Gettlefinger, Chuck Heffner, Ton Underwood, Mike Williams and Terry Schofield. The team posted an impressive wonfloss i26-9l record before falling to arch-rival Happy Valley in the sub-state. The girls once again placed a team on the court and as is the case when a new team is formed the group was not particularly successful. Much credit must be given to Lydia McCaneIly, Marci McMillan, Sharon Clancy, Sharon Mabry, Monica Patterson and the other girls for their efforts under the most adverse conditions. In 75-76 the men's basketball team, after a slow start, blistered the competition at seasons end and ran through the district, regional and sub-state rounds on their way to the State Tournament. This group brought back the runner-up trophy due to the strong efforts of All State Chris Gettlefinger, Mike Williams, Terry Schofield, Tom Underwood and Cedric Thomas. This marked the fourth time in seven years that the Irish had gor at least as far as the Sub-State round. The Lady Irish improved under the direction of new coach ludy Mosier, Her leading players were Marci McMillan, Cathy Donovan, Sharon and leanne Mabry, Becky Kidd, Liz DeWine, Monica Patterson and Linda Underwood. The highlight of the 76-77 KCHS sports ye was the return of the men's basketball team to the state tournament. The team, without the services of All-State guard Chris Gettlefinger, sidlined with illness, lost in the semi-finals to Perry County, led by future Vandy star Mike Phodes, 72-69. The Irish were disappointed, of course, but this team would present the school with district, regional and substate titles and the best overall record l31-3l in school history. The talent-laden team saw brilliant play fro Chris Gettlefinger, Mike Williams, Eugene Anderson, leff Schell, Brad Parker, loe Kendra, Shawn Rumbolt and Cedric Thomas. The ladies improved to 8-1 due to the efforts of Carci McMillan 125 pts a gamel, Liz DeWine, Cathy Donovan, Candy Nutter, leanne Mabry, and Renee Kidd. This year saw 17 girls o the team, the most since the re-introduction of the sport at KCHS. A surprise in 77-78 was the return of the Irish basketball to the state tournament. The team would lose to Alamo 74-S2 in the quarterfinals, but this group were crowned as district and regional champs before reaching the state playoffs. Leaders of the team were Eugene Anderson, leff Shell, Brad Parker, lim McAllister, and Phil MacDonald with great support from Carlos Andrews, Dan Fox Tim Donovarfjlick Smith, Chris Miller, Greg Erickson and Barry Smith. The team finished with a 25-8 record. The girls varsity, with new coach Susan Kennedy, experienced a 10-14 season due to the strong play of seniors leanne Mabry, Monica Patterson and Cathy Donovan. Other contributers to the teams success are lulie McMillan, Renee Kidd and Candy Nutter. Including the freshman team, thirty girls were playing basketball at KCHS. New basketbal coach Mike DeBakker's Irish continued the winning tradition at KCHS in 78-79 by virtue of the play of First-team All-State player Eugene Anderson. Anderson, the KlL's leading scorer l27 pts a gamel bombed the competition and the team was rated in the top ten during the season. Eugene was also the KIL player of the year. The Irish captured second place in the district before losing to Oliver Springs in the regionals. The men were led by Anderson, Dan Fox, Barry Smith, Paul lellicorse, Chris Miller, Tim Donovan, Greg Erickson and Authur Gaston. The girls improved due to the play of All-KIL lulie McMillan, Candy Nutter, Sherri Shannon, Ann Bentley, Renee Kidd, Katie Pipkin and Marianne Mabry.

The 73-74 edition of Irish football, under the direction Coach Hugh Hyde, would sustain a 1-9 record.

Sister Mary Loyola, RSM. echoed this idea to her student body in 1960 when she said i'May you keep these guide posts ever with you, never let them go unnoticed. How well you know now that you are Christ's, purchased with a great price. May you never forget that Catholic High is your second home. We shall always be interested in you. Indeed, KCHS students appreciated then, as now, the dedication of Hour principals, and their spirit of love and labor lives on. ,fr . 4 if 1 1 Sister Mary Gabriel Sister Mary Nolasco 1932-1936, 1938-1940 1936-1938 Sister Marie Assumpta Sister Mary Loyola 1943-1946 1946-1950, 1955-1961 Sister Mary Alphonsa 1940-1943 Sister Marie Emmanuel 1950-1955 'atholic High School 1932-1982 Fx: -we f.f a 9? 0 p Q an- Sister Mary Andre Reverend Herbert Prescott Reverend Iohn Batson 1960- 1961 1961-1965 1965- 1967 Reverend Xavier Mankel Reverend Michael Johnston Reverend Frank Richards 1967-1979 1979-1982 1982- 'J if f U 'Y -Hi K 3 L...

December IZ, l83 I, Catherine Elizabeth McAuley founded the Sisters ot Mercy. The Sisters of Mercy was one of the first working orders. Most other s ot the time were devoted to prayer only. Halloween ltlbb, six Sisters of Mercy, led by Mother Mary Clare McMahon, arrived in Nashville. They came at the request of Bishop Patrick Feehan, who lci help in the war-torn South. The next day they set up St, Bernard's Academy, rty years later, the sisters were invited to come to teach at St. Mary's School in Knoxville. At that time the school was located in the basement of Im- late Conception Church, so the sisters turned over their convent for use as a school and moved to a building facing the old City Hall. In MOI a new il was constructed, and the sisters moved back to their convent. I9 IZ, Knoxville Catholic' High School was founded. Sisters of Mercy served as principals there until 196.2 when priests took over that position. The high il originally was staffed by tour sisters. It was a favorite place for sisters to be appointed because of the spirit in which everything was done. Over the .as many as six sisters have served on the staff in a given year. H8 I, the Sisters of Mercy completed their Both year ot service to Knoxville in the field of education, nursing and social services. 1 Sisters of Mercy of East Tennessee announced with joy one hundred and fifty years of courageous response to the vision ot our founder, Catherine iley in l98l m Dublin in 183 I, the Sisters of Mercy have spread throughout the world.

Fogarty Rick Donovan Dear Alumni and Friends, Many thanks are due to the dedicated group of writers, researchers and typists who have worked for over a year and a half now to compile a history of KCHS. Thank you to Father Mankel, Sister DeLellis, Sister Assumpta, Sister Albertine, Father lohnston, and Father Richards for their valuable advice and assistance. Without the help of Paul l. Fogarty and his father Paul T. Fogarty, the beautiful cover, color, and so many pictures would not have been possible. Paul I. Fogarty also helped to conceive and execute the idea of a commemorative book. Mr. Tom Graham who completed the photographing of the composite class pictures helped me out so many times las he always has for KCHSJ. Also, a hearty thanks goes to all those alumni who shared pictures and other mementos for use in the book, To Mr. Richard Elliott of Taylor Publishing Company, thank you. The wonderfully generous patrons and advertisers considerably reduced the cost of each book to the alumni. The advertising and patronage campaign was executed most capably by Mr, lim Gilliland of l.C. parish - THANK YOU! As with any endeavor, it seems that there are ideas, people, and events that have been omitted, however, a sincere attempt was made in this book to give a broad, overall approach to KCHS for the last fifty years. Sometimes material lphotos or informationl was not available, but every attempt was made to include, in copy or in picture form, as much information as possible. At times the task seemed unconquerable, but always there was a voice of encouragement from my parents, family, and friends to persevere. To them l owe so much! To my mother and father, Bob and Teresa DeWine, go my love and thanks for engendering a love for education at KCHS and for helping in every phase of this book. But the greatest thanks and love of al go to my husband, Bert, and my children, Kate and Dan, who all sacrificed so much of their family time for me to complete this book. I owe so much to Knoxville Catholic High School, so that for what I received in return, this is a small payment. Sincerely, Kathleen DeWine Benedict Class of 1966 157 'W ll-llllGll-l SlCl-lOOll.

TENNESSEE 37917 Dear Committee Friends: Words are hard to find to express my deep appreciation to each and everyone of you who so ably have assisted me in the preparation of the celebration of the fifty-years of Knoxville Catholic High School. From the very beginning of the celebration with the opening Mass and Dinner in November of 1981- Mary Catherine Willard and Sue Clancy worked together to bring a beautiful and meaningful Mass and a nice dinner with an enjoyable and humorous program. The closing Mass, Dinner and Dance will also be under their guidance on November 26th, 1982. Father Michael lohnston has been such a cooperative helper as well as Father Frank Richards. lim Hannifin made my job so much easier by his accessibility, availability and advice. lody Woody, my executive secretary, and lack Norris, my executive treasurer, have been both helpful and accommodating on every occasion. lohanna Humphrey and her family with their artistic ability and expertise, have been invaluable to our whole program. To Bert and Kathleen Benedict, my son-in-law and daughter, Paul I. Fogarty and his father Paul T. Fogarty thanks for their many, many hours work on the Commemorative Book. Through their indomitable efforts in amassing 50 years of history in writing and pictures - I owe a deep debt of gratitude. To Stan Pickering and Rick Donovan who have worked so hard to insure the success of the Homecoming Football game on Oct. 22nd and the Alumni Basketball game on Nov. 13th - my thanks. To our contributors and advertisers to the 50th Anniversary who have played such an important part in making all the pieces fall into their right places - my thanks. Also to our decade writers and typists, thank you. All these wonderful people working together have shown that K.C.H.S. has fine ideals and magnificent principles that will be alive for the next generation. The greatest thanks, however, goes to my wife of 35 years, Teresa. As with any task I have chosen, she has been my faithful advisor and worker. Thank you for the unique opportunity of serving as your general chairman. Golf Dewwf l58 Th ' I ank you advertisers.
