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

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
