the CARDINALSt. Charles Preparatory School Alumni Magazine Fall 2013 Inside The St. Charles community joined Bishop Fred- erick Campbell in September for the historic dedication of the Robert D. Walter West Cam- pus. See photos of the attendees and those for whom Principal Jim Lower shared the school’s gratitude for their contributions to the project (pages 4-8, 22, 90). This August’s Combined Class Reunion week- end was the busiest ever. Read about the great activities everyone enjoyed including a Friday Night home football game and the Alumni Golf Outing on Sunday (pages 16-22). Read about five special alumni honored last November at two different school liturgies for their career accomplishments and the time, talent and treasure shared on behalf of St. Charles (pages 10-11 and 24). Last November the prestigious Borromean Lec- ture marked its 12th year by welcoming John H. Garvey, President of Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. (pages 12-15). St. Charles students proved themselves to be accomplished academically and athletically and committed to being their “Brother’s Keeper.” Read about seniors honored last June at graduation and the two accepted into military academies. Our underclassmen also earned plenty of space inside too, based on their many service and missionary projects, student group participation and summer activities (pages 25-37). St. Charles tries to keep your social calendar full between all the other goings-on around campus. Besides the 25th annual Silent Auction (pages 40-42) you might have also found your- self at the school’s Spaghetti Dinner (pages 43-45) or Father/Son Mass & Breakfast (pages 45-48). Enjoy reading through our Alumni News and Notes sections to learn about those excelling in college, establishing themselves in chosen professions, winding down careers and now enjoying their well-deserved ‘‘golden” years (pages 51-74). In the Development Section read about the school’s newest endowment funds, meet the school’s new Development Officer, Michael Welsch, see photos taken at the year-end Car- dinal Society donor appreciation event at Muir- field Village Golf Club (pages 80-84) and view the 2012-2013 Donor’s Roll of those who made gifts to the school this year (pages 86-90).
