of a larger personal and social process, namely, achieving adulthood. And if you remember anything from the current political season, it’s that it’s entirely possible to live 70 years and still not act like an adult. An adult, by my definition, is someone who has acquired the character, competence and commitment we expect in a fully developed young man or woman. By character I mean a level of moral constancy and personal accountability that allows others to depend on us to behave and respond in a consistent fashion. By competence, I mean not only the mastery of specific forms of knowledge and practices that allow individuals to make a living or pursue a career, but also those virtues necessary to sustain social roles such as citizen and parent. And by commitment I Mr. Woodward makes his presentation from the stage of the Robert C. Walter mean the ability to give oneself to others—especially though not Student Commons. only in marriage, but also to a project or an ideal—and stick to it. A college diploma, however necessary financially, really has nothing to do with this larger developmental purpose. I’ve laid a lot on you, I know, even before you’ve had time to digest lunch. So I leave you by inviting you students to think of your passage through adolescence the way Woody Allen thought of a famous Biblical phrase, “Yay, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…” “That’s fine, with me,” said Woody, “just so long as I come out the other side.” The whole point of your adolescent years is to come out on the other side and into adulthood.

Silent Auction Celebrates Three Decades The St. Charles Preparatory School community celebrated the 30th Annual Cardinal Christmas Auction on Saturday, December 2nd, in the Robert C. Walter Student Commons, decked out in festive Christmas season decorations. More than 650 people were on hand — a record attendance for the event. We are very grateful to all those who attended or provided their time, treasure and talent to make the event such a success. Thank You!!! The evening, hosted by the St. Charles Mothers Club, included bidding on over 200 silent auction items, several “big-ticket” live auction items and raffles. A buffet dinner was prepared by the Susi Family and Berwick Manor and musical entertainment was provided by the St. Charles Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Rick Brunetto. All proceeds from this year’s event went toward financial assistance, allowing St. Charles to reduce financial challenges facing many qualified young men wishing to earn a St. Charles diploma. Planning and organization for “A Cardinal Christmas” was chaired by St. Charles mothers Nina Keyes and Basia Nowak. They were assisted by the St. Charles Development Office, school staff members and a team of dedicated mothers (and fathers) whose generosity, kindness, hard work and countless volunteer hours were instrumental in making the event so enjoyable and successful.

The annual St. Charles Spaghetti Dinner, organized by the St. Charles Alumni Association, enjoyed a sunny but chilly day on February 18th, in the school’s Robert C. Walter Student Commons. Dinner was served from 1:00 to 6:30 p.m. and all proceeds from the event went toward supporting student financial aid. While the event wouldn’t be a success without the hundreds of guests who attend with their families, it could never occur without the volunteer efforts of the MANY parents, alumni, students and friends who do everything from serving the meal, cleaning tables, pouring drinks and taking out the trash. And most especially, our thanks to those who devote that entire day to making sure our guests have the best experience possible: 1972 classmates and St. Charles Alumni Association governing board members Gerard Barrow ’72, Phil Caito ’72, Jim Greenhalge ’88 and Mike Probst ’89; the true foodservice professionals from Berwick Manor, led by T.J. and Anthony The invaluable kitchen staff that cooked and served dinner during the first Susi; and raffle 50/50 ticket-sellers Katie Ryan Paolini and Lisa shift of the afternoon, including numerous Ralston brothers who assist every Knox, whose efforts helped raise $800 that went directly toward year. financial aid.

Cleveland On May 24th, St. Charles administrators, faculty and staff members travelled to the home city of the Tribe and Cavaliers to meet Carolian alumni at the Great Lakes Brewery in downtown Cleveland. Guests were treated to a wide selection of “home- made” beers brewed on site as well as a selection of appetizers. Following a behind-the-scenes facilities tour, Principal Jim Lower shared with the group the goings-on around the SC campus this year including news of the outstanding students/ athletes and facilities at St. Charles.

Chicago Holy Cow was it HOT as the St. Charles Alumni Cavalcade pulled into Chicago on Friday, June 29th. It was the third excur- sion to the Windy City and those who attended saw the Cubs overpower the Minnesota Twins with two big home runs, win- ning 10-6…on the hottest day of the year -- over 100 degrees in the blazing sun. A saving grace was the fact that the group was enjoying the game at a Wrigley Rooftop across from the stadium on Sheffield Avenue along the first base line…with a great air conditioned area to talk, eat, drink and chat in when not outside watching the live action from bleacher seating. Guests were treated to an “open bar” of wine, beer and soft From left: Adam Woodruff ’04, Zach Vesco ’08, Jim Lower (Principal) and Pat Foley ’08. drinks and a delightful unlimited buffet stocked with grilled chicken breasts, Italian beef sandwiches, Chicago style hot dogs, grilled bratwurst, hamburgers and cheeseburgers, nachos, potato chips, pasta salad, fresh fruit and (thank goodness) assorted ice cream treats! Everyone had a wonderful time speaking with Mr. Lower and staff, relaxing at the inside and outdoor facilities, meeting new friends and catching up with classmates. Those living in the Chicago area: plan on joining us there next June!

Bradenton, FL The “St. Charles Cavalcade” added a brand new stop on its slate of annual alumni gatherings held across the state and country. Members of the school’s Development Office traveled with St. Charles Principal Jim Lower to Bradenton, FL, to enjoy Carolian Camaraderie at separate events. On Friday, March 2nd, the SC group was invited to join alumni and spouses from the Class of 1954 -- a mix of snowbirds and year-round state residents --- who have been meeting for lunch annually each winter in Florida. This year, lunch was at “Caddy’s on the Point.” All enjoyed great conversation and story-telling; beverages of all flavors, colors and potencies; and a wonderful seafood lunch (it was a Lenten Friday, after all...what else would you order when you are that close to the ocean?). (From left) Joe Rath ’67, Jim Lower (St. Charles Principal), Adam Ritter ’03, On Saturday, it was the school’s turn to host things! The SC Kyle Ritter ’05 and Dan Rath ’99. group welcomed alumni and spouses to “Pier 22” alongside a beautiful marina. Along with an open bar, guests snacked on delicious appetizers (Calamari and Balsamic Chips drizzled with gorgonzola dressing and toppings) and a seafood menu that included a choice of a salmon BLT, shaved tenderloin salad, or broiled crab cake. Alumni had the opportunity to meet other Carolians living there in the state and those in Columbus had the chance to catch up with the happening of the Floridians. And just as he did Friday, Principal Lower shared with everyone an update of what is going on at the school and the accomplishments of its students. In addition to Bradenton, representatives of the school have hosted alumni gatherings this year in Annapolis, Cleveland, Chicago and Charlotte. St. Charles Principal Jim Lower (left) with Jim Dillard, Jr. ’87. If you live in one of these cities, and would like to learn about the next visit there, please contact Alumni Director Louis J. Fabro ’83 ([email protected]) and he’ll share what is set and what is still being developed.

1954 classmates gather each March in Florida for lunch from their various wintering places around the state.

Annapolis, MD After its successful maiden voyage last year, the St. Charles Alumni Cavalcade Principal Jim Lower and staff members from the Alumni and Development Office made a return trip to Annapolis, MD, on Saturday, September 29th. St. Charles extends its deepest thanks to 1986 alumnus, John Crabtree, who generously hosted fellow Carolians at his local establishment, the Acme Bar & Grill, located in downtown’s historic district with both the United States Naval Academy and Chesapeake Bay just two blocks away. Unrivalled as a host, John created a special reception area for the group with a buffet of tasty appetizers. His staff made sure no one was without a cold refreshment. Principal Jim Lower shared the latest update on the great things going on at St. Charles: the academic and athletic successes of the students, the opening of a new Robotics & Mentoring Center and the kick-off of The Vision for the Future campaign. The event was capped off watching The Ohio State Football Buckeyes fight back to defeat Carl Eifert ’45 (center), from Alexandria, VA, was the oldest alumnus at the Penn State in a cliffhanger.

Fraternity 6.0: SC Hosts Annual Aquinas College High School Alumni Association Luncheon The prospect of enjoying a catered lunch by “one of their own” was enough to entice graduates of Aquinas College High School to attend their May Alumni Association Luncheon on the campus of their former rival, St. Charles Preparatory School. For the 6th year, the Aquinas Alumni Association gathered for its monthly May gathering as guests of the Carolians in the school’s Robert D Walter Student Commons. The turnout was impressive -- the 2nd largest turnout in this event’s history. Our thanks to the AAA president, Lou Nobile (AQ ’57), for his help in coordinating this visit. The owner of T.A.T. Ristorante di Famiglia, Mr. Jimmy Corrova (AQ ’53), along with his family and staff, provided a wonderful luncheon buffet of salad, rolls, baked chicken, Aquinas Alumni Association President Lou Nobile (AQ ’57) listens with pasta, green beans and meatballs. Also invited to attend were a bowed head as Fr. Stephen Alcott, O.P., pastor at St. Patrick Church 12 St. Charles students who are the recipients of academic downtown, leads the group in prayer. scholarships provided by The Father John R. Smith Aquinas Alumni Scholarship. That fund supports both financial aid and academic scholarships earned through exceptional performance in grade school and on the St. Charles 8th Grade Scholarship Test. The fund was established in 1987 by James K. Williams, Jr. (AQ ’49) and fellow Aquinas alumni to honor the memory of Fr. Smith, the legendary Aquinas teacher and disciplinarian. Aquinas College High School was an all-boys high school operated by the Dominican Fathers from 1905 to 1965. More than 4,200 boys graduated from Aquinas, which was located for most of its years at Mt. Vernon and Washington Avenues, now the home of Columbus State Community College. Both St. Charles and Aquinas have long traditions and many Columbus families have graduates from both schools. Since Aquinas closed its doors in 1965, many of its graduates have had sons, grandsons and nephews attend St. Charles.

Realize the Power of a Legacy Gift and Help Us Keep the “Carolian Promise” The founding mission of St. Charles is predicated on the promise made by our founder, Bishop James J. Hartley, that “No qualified student who could benefit from a St. Charles education would ever be turned away because of a family’s inability to pay tuition.” But for all its blessings, St. Charles still faces serious challenges into the 21st century. With your continued support we can: continue the enrollment of qualified students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds; retain the necessary economic and human resources to continue providing quality Catholic education; provide the remuneration necessary to attract and retain a superior faculty; continue to implement needed ongoing technological upgrades; and to continue to enhance and upgrade academic, co-curricular and athletic facilities.

Here are some of the most popular options to support St. Charles Preparatory School: Gifts to create an endowed scholarship and gifts of cash, appreciated securities, life insurance, real estate, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, living trusts, donor advised funds, retirement plan assets, IRA charitable rollovers, tangible personal property and memorial and tribute gifts.

112 St. Charles Preparatory School Deacon & Mrs. A. John Vellani Mr. Percival & Dr. Yvonne Vera There Could Be a New Way to Display Your St. Charles Pride: Ms. Patricia Verbena Ms. Karin Vermander On Your License Plate! Villa Nova Ristorante St. Charles has been contacted by several of its community members with an idea: Could the Dr. & Mrs. Stephen Vincent school work with the Ohio Bureau of Motor vehicles to create a specialized “St. Charles” license Vineyard Vines - Easton Mr. & Mrs. Frank A. Vitale plate with the school crest emblazoned on it? Many other schools and organizations have them, Mr. & Mrs. Francis Voegele they note. Mr. & Mrs. James M. Vonau We thought it was a great idea! Not only can you show your Carolian pride to all, but some Mr. & Mrs. Mark Vrabel of the registration fees come back to the school and can be used for tuition assistance. So after Wagbros Company some initial investigation, we found that the process includes an assortment of procedures and Mr. Mark Wagenbrenner Ms. Marilyn Waits paperwork that need to be completed. First and foremost, the interested group/organization must Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Walker submit a petition with 150 original “signatures” from people who intend to purchase the new Col. & Mrs. Craig Wallace plate – and must include the names and addresses as well as a “signees” current driver’s license Walt Disney Co. number and current license plate number. This does not contractually commit that person to buy Mr. & Mrs. Robert D. Walter a plate, but the state requires that 25 or more plates must be sold EVERY year or the plate will be Mr. & Mrs. Todd Waltermeyer Mr. Kevin Warbis discontinued. Mr. & Mrs. Jeffrey Warbis All specialized interest plates (except military) require an additional fee of $50 - above the $35 Mr. & Mrs. Christopher W. Ward annual referral charge - earmarked to cover cost of production and/or special handling. The fees Mr. & Mrs. Scott R. Wardlow are charged each year, including years when only a validation sticker is needed. St. Charles would Mr. & Mrs. Michael Warner receive $40 of the fee and $10 would go to the BMV. Mr. & Mrs. Douglas M. Watkins Mrs. Jean Watren Also of note, when one signs up for these special “SC” plates, they will receive a new license Mr. & Mrs. Matt Weger plate that has been pre-manufactured with consecutive letters and numbers only and are never Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Wehr personalized ( ABC 1234). Weiland Fine Meats, Inc. So we are very happy to move forward with this process IF more than 150 people e-mail the Mr. Terrence M. Weiler school’s Alumni & Communications Director Louis J.

Weis Mr. & Mrs. Steve Weislogel their interest and willingness to share the information listed above with St. Charles (to complete Col. & Mrs. Elliot J.
