Katie Horstman Elected to National High School Hall of Fame News Release – Ohio High School Athletic Association Commissioner Daniel B. Ross, Ph.D. www.OHSAA.org twitter.com/OHSAASports For Immediate Release – April 14, 2014 Contact – Tim Stried, Director of Information Services, [email protected] Katie Horstman Elected to National High School Hall of Fame Minster native was standout athlete and longtime coach after her playing days in the All‐American Girls Professional Baseball League COLUMBUS, Ohio – Katie Horstman, a native of Minster, Ohio, who coached teams at her alma mater to nine state championships, has been named to the 2014 induction class into the National High School Hall of Fame. Katie was an athletic pioneer who opened the door for women in sports, beginning with her playing days in the All‐American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) in the early 1950s. The Hall of Fame is sponsored by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). Five student‐ athletes, along with four high school coaches, one contest official, one administrator and one in the performing arts, will be inducted July 2 at the Boston Marriott Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts. The 32nd Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will be the closing event of the 95th annual NFHS Summer Meeting. The five former student‐athletes being inducted include Ozzie Newsome, Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, Casey Blake, Michael Devereaux and Suzy Powell. The official release from the NFHS is posted at: http://www.ohsaa.org/news/misc/2014HallofFamePressRelease.pdf Katie taught and coached at Minster for 25 years and started the school’s sports program for girls. While there, she coached the Wildcats to nine Ohio High School Athletic Association state championships, including eight in track and field and one in cross country. Her track and field teams won five‐consecutive OHSAA state titles from 1976 through 1980. Her teams also finished as state runner‐up eight times (three in cross country, one in volleyball and four in track and field). Individually, 34 of her athletes won state track and field championships and one was the top placer in the state cross country finals. Katie also coached softball, basketball and gymnastics at Minster. Katie was a standout in softball and baseball prior to the days of organized school sports programs for girls. Her talent was such that in 1951, at the age of 15, she began a four‐year career in the AAGPBL with the Fort Wayne Daisies. While in the league, she played virtually every position, excelling as a pitcher, catcher and at third base, and was selected as an All‐Star at third base in 1953. She ranks sixth in batting average (.286) and 11th in home runs (23) in AAGPBL history and was 29‐11 in her career as a pitcher. Katie was present in Cooperstown, N.Y., in 1988 when the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum honored the AAGPBL with the opening of a permanent display. The league’s pioneering efforts led to the 1992 movie “A League of Their Own.” Katie was in a scene of the movie and she continues to participate in clinics and raise funds for charities in the Los Angeles area and also returns to Minster each summer. After her playing days, Katie graduated from St. Elizabeth Hospital Medical Records Librarian School in Danville, Ill., and then joined the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Joliet, Ill., where she taught for five years and became the first nun in the United States to graduate from DePaul University. Katie then earned a master’s degree from Miami University and taught for six more years before returning home to Minster in 1972. Katie has been inducted into five halls of fame in baseball and track and field, along with the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame. ### OHSAA ### .

  • The Ephemera Journal
    The ephemera Journal Volume 14, Number 2 JaNuary 2012 Personal Visual Albums By DaviD FreunD Personal visual albums should be considered folk art. Imagine every home in America: in Brooklyn, in North Dakota, in Louisiana, in Seattle, in Iowa, and on. Now imagine them in the 1880s. The space between them increases. In almost all of these homes people made visual albums, alone or together, probably on their biggest table. From across this vast geography millions of albums emerged that shared only rudimentary history or theory, just the impulse for their creation, but somehow a common visual language is evident in them. These creators have long since died and, for most, the memory of their affect upon the planet has evaporated. We would wish they knew that one fragment of their life remains which embodies their talent, their voice, sustains their Figure 1 presence. Things of their experience - plants, hair, fabric, but mostly printed images and ephemera- all were funneled through their eyes and minds, then sifted, sorted, and re-imagined according to their view, emerging in one or more albums of their creation. The term scrapbook comes up short as a descriptor of the varied range of subjects and materials found in what I have called personal visual albums. For these I propose an expanded nomenclature, which begins with five broad headings: accumulation, artwork, collection, collage, and narrative. These often overlap: for example, an accumulation may also be a collage and a narrative, as will be Figure 2 seen below in the album of Continued on Page 4 1 In This Issue: Long View of an Ephemeral Moment ~ Page 11 • Memory of 9/11 ~ Page 17 • Post-Mortem Photographs ~ Page 19 • Textile Diaries ~ Page 21 The Dear Members and Friends: Ephemera Journal We are close to our annual convention at Greenwich, CT, March 16-18.
