Ensuring A Promising Future for St. Charles St. Charles is conducting an historic endowment and capital facilities campaign to ensure the school’s future well into the 21st century. As part of that effort, this edition of the Cardinal magazine features stories on two alumni—Bob Walter ’63, the CEO and chairman of Cardinal Health and honorary chairman of The Campaign for St. Charles, and Dick Notebaert ’65, CEO of Qwest Communications. In his interview, Walter spoke about the importance of the school being “accessible to a broad socio-economic range of students” and the role of endowments to “help assure the school’s ability to maintain and enhance diversity.” Notebaert, in his interview, pays tribute to the impact St. Charles had on his personal development.“I learned to interact with many different people – classmates, teachers, and others,” Notebaert said. “Without question, St. Charles has helped create my personality.” Those principles cited by Walter and Notebaert are the cornerstone for the ongoing Campaign for St. Charles. Principal Dominic Cavello oversees the installation of St. Charles believes it’s imperative that students be exposed to classmates from brick pavers at the renovated pedestrian entranceway to the school. different faiths, nationalities, and economic backgrounds to help foster their ability to think critically and interact with others as equals. The school must stay ever vigilant to the charge given by its founder, Bishop James J. Hartley, that no student of merit be turned away due to an inability to pay tuition. Student financial assistance, made possible by the funding of endowments, is the primary segment of the current fund drive. While the cost of running the school with a lay faculty continues to push up tuition, the school has been able this year to provide an unprecedented $250,000 in tuition assistance. Seventeen percent of all students receive some type of aid. This is a 7% increase over the past four years and a 33% increase from last year. Again, student assistance is the campaign’s first priority. Students are responding to the opportunity provided them with excellent success in the classroom. For example, 17 St. Charles students this year were named National Merit semifinalists. That’s the largest number of young men from any school in Central Ohio. Another 10 students were named National Merit commended scholars. Two seniors scored a perfect 1600 on their SATs. That kind of academic success reflects the high quality and strong dedication of the teachers and support staff, not to mention extraordinary parenting, which is critical for any student’s success. Because of the vital need for having a well-qualified teaching staff, the second goal of the campaign is the funding of endowments to assist with teacher incentive and retention. This is an attempt to offset the disparity of compensation for Catholic school teachers as compared to those in public education. Our 77 year-old physical plant in always an ongoing concern. It is a rock-solid facility constructed for the ages and it has been carefully maintained. It is in excellent condition. But significant changes are being made. This year physical improvements to the front of the main building will be complete. Traffic flow through the campus will have been modified to make entry and egress safer for the nearly 600 students and 50 members of the faculty and staff. For the first time in the history of St. Charles, the front door will be the main entrance to the school. This is a highly visible symbol of the progress that The Campaign for St. Charles is making toward its final goal of $10 to $12 million. By the beginning of next year, the school will have been equipped with an elevator and other upgrades to bring it into compliance with the American Disabilities Act. This year is exciting and challenging, but with your help and God’s blessing, St. Charles Preparatory School will continue to meet the challenges of its Catholic teaching mission and continue to groom tomorrow’s leaders.

The Distinctive Leader in Catholic Education 5 Continued from page 5 working briefly for North American Rockwell at its former airplane manufac- turing plant near Port Columbus, Walter decided to switch careers and enrolled at Harvard Business School where in 1970 he earned a master’s degree in business administration. Well groomed for the business world and anxious to strike out on his own, Walter looked for opportunities — and found one — a Columbus-based wholesale food distribution company that was for sale. He took out loans, interested some investors, and completed a leveraged buyout in 1971. He renamed the company Cardinal Foods. “No, the company name wasn’t inspired by the St. Charles mas- cot,” Walter said. “The Cardinal is the state bird of Ohio, but a nice coincidence.” Because of what he thought was a limit to his food company’s growth poten- tial, Walter decided to switch gears and go into health products distribution. He acquired a drug company based in Zanes- ville, Ohio, in 1980 and renamed his company Cardinal Distribution. The company three years later issued stock and went public to obtain capital for expansion. Walter eventually sold the food business to focus exclusively on health care and renamed the company Cardinal Health. In his interview, Walter recalled fond memories about St. Charles teachers and fellow students. “I certainly remember Msgr. O’Dea (Paul J.) well for Latin — and for taking away my letter jacket for six weeks as a punishment,” he said. “Jack Ryan was important to me — someone to learn from. And Father Kraus (James E.)

Cross Country The Cardinal cross country team, coached by Steve Kull, won its fourth straight Central Catholic League championship this year. The team also finished second in the districts and fifth in the Division I regional finals, just two spots from advancing to the state finals. Juniors Derek Hoye and Michael Fowle finished 13 and 15, respectively, in the regionals to lead the squad. St. Charles had a very successful year, wining invitationals at New Albany and Whetstone and placed 6 runners on the all-CCL team. That team included senior Chris Kelly, juniors Derek Hoye and Michael Fowle, sophomore Stephen Coppel, and freshman J.D.Coppel. Fowle and Hoye were named all-district.

2002 Cross Country Team Football The Cardinal football team, coached by Jeff Liebert, earned the eighth and final spot in the 2002 region 6 Division II football state playoffs. Losses to Watterson and Cincinnati Indian Hills left the Cardinals with a regular season record of 6-4, but they earned enough computer points to secure their second state playoff trip in three years. They took on defending state champion Toledo St. Francis DeSales High School, which played unfriendly host by defeating St. Charles 33-0. The Cardinals finished 0-2 in the CCL Silver Division. Junior quarterback Jack Rafferty, the area’s leading passer for most of the year, was named the Central District’s offensive player of the year. He and receiver Sean Hunter were named first-team all-district. Receiver Andrew Skunda and center Russ Stitzlein were named second-team all-district. Named special mention all-district were linebacker Mike Donovan, defensive lineman Walter Fyda, linebacker Mark Lower, kicker Brandon Pavol, and linebacker Jason Ryan. Picked honorable mention all-district were linebacker Dan 2002 Football Team Kelly, lineman Matt Oberlander, and lineman Michael Reggie. Golf Coach Bart Mahoney was encouraged by the play of his young team this year. With two freshmen and a sophomore on varsity, the team finished second in the CCL and fifth in the sectional tournament, just one spot from qualifying for the districts. Senior Mark Phillips fell one stroke short of qualifying for the state tournament, finishing fourth in the Division I district golf tournament. He qualified for the districts by placing third out of all golfers in the sectional tournament. Phillips and sophomore David Becker were named first-team all-CCL while junior Mark Pagnatto was named to the second team. Soccer 2002 Golf Team Coach Matt Highland’s unseeded team followed up an opening round victory over South Urban Academy with a 2-1 victory over eleventh-seeded Marysville in a Division I district semifinal. The squad lost 2-1 against fourth-seeded Olentangy in the district finals while dominating every aspect of the game but the score. Although the Cardinals finished 8-10-0 and third in the CCL, they played a tough schedule that included several of the state’s best teams: DeSales, Reynoldsburg, Worthington Kilbourne and Dublin Coffman. Showing that he and his team earned the respect of area coaches, Highland was voted the Division I district’s private school’s coach of the year. John Daniele earned a spot on the first-team all-district squad.
