At the time of publication, the small box was viewed as a space filler. We did not anticipate the tremendous response that these photos would provoke. The “Then and Now” comparison struck a cord with our alumni. While 4720 Fifth Avenue has seen countless changes to the physical school over the last 89 years, the students who walk the halls of Central Catholic remain the same. In this issue, we take a look at how several of Central’s most popular spaces have changed over the years. Some of these areas will be completely unrecognizable to those who spent their days here decades ago; however, many things about our beloved school remain unchanged. This summer, Central is immersed in construction. Crews are hard at work to complete the Zupancic Family STEM Center. The parking lot is being completely redone and will create additional spaces on the WQED side of the building. A grand entrance to the Quadrangle is underway. And not to be outdone, Carnegie Mellon University is constructing the massive Tepper Quad on the other side of the Vikings’ football field. In August, students and parents will begin to experience these changes. We are hopeful that our alumni will take the time to pay us a visit this fall. We invite you to see how things look now Zupancic Family STEM Center progress at the main entrance and to reminisce about the way things were then. The theme of “Then and Now” carries over as we have a transition in school leadership. Brother Robert Schaefer, FSC, who completed seven years as principal and 20 of his 26 years as a Christian Brother at Central Catholic, has been called to Rome, Italy, by the Superior General of the Christian Brothers to be part of his administration in service to the international Lasallian Mission. We thank Brother Bob for his years of service to Central Catholic and wish him the best in his next endeavor. Please visit www.centralcatholichs.com/ BrBob for a video tribute that was played at the 2016 Viking Victory Auction. The Class of 2016 said goodbye to Brother Bob on their last day at Central Central Catholic High School is pleased to announce Brother Anthony T. Baginski, FSC, as the school’s new principal. To learn more about Br. Tony and his fascinating path to becoming principal, please see “An Interview with the New Principal” on page 4. 1 A Message from Br. Bob Dear Friends of Central Catholic, “Then and Now” is a great theme for this edition of the Quadrangle Magazine. It helps to remind us of the important link each generation of Vikings has with the preceding and future students. Central Catholic’s tradition stretches back to 1927 and really to 1680 in France with John Baptist de La Salle’s opening of the his first school. “Tradition never graduates” is a popular theme. The last page of the annual Commencement program states boldly, “We are men faithful to the tradition of Central Catholic High School…” This continuity of tradition is a significant and integral characteristic of Central Catholic and of all Christian Brothers’ schools. The dynamic tradition we uphold is essential to the Central Catholic experience. Today, there are social scientists and social philosophers who speak of our contemporary time as a period of “radical discontinuity” – a period so new and innovative as to have no connection to the past. Such discontinuity, the experts claim, can lead to instability and a certain rootlessness, a lack of being grounded. Everything is up for grabs. We have no shortage of examples of the reign of relativism. One of the reasons for this radical discontinuity, they say, is the rapid development of technology and social media. “There’s an app for that” seems to be the phrase of the day! This kind of rapid change and innovation, while exciting and stimulating, might be one of the factors for the increasingly fractious and divided world we are currently living in. Economic uncertainty, terror, corporate and religious irresponsibility, and rancorous political discourse are themes that seem to dominate the news. But a Central Catholic education, any education for that matter that claims John Baptist de La Salle as its inspiration, is based on the premise of a few timeless constants that transcend the years and represent a continuity over the decades. Values that do not, in essence, change. Values that keep us rooted and pointed in the right direction. Values that underscore the importance of a life of Virtue. Educational methods change and adapt. Curriculum and course offerings can vary. Facilities can be upgraded and expanded. But the essence of what happens each day at Central Catholic, forming Men of Faith, Men of Scholarship, and Men of Service is timeless. It has been my great honor to witness this miracle happen each day because of the students’ openness, the faculty’s commitment and the parents’ sacrifice. As I prepare to leave Central Catholic, I can adapt the words of St. Paul in his letter to the Philippians. I am confident of this, that He who began a good work in CENTRAL CATHOLIC will be faithful to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. Thank you for your ongoing support of the Central Catholic Tradition. Live Jesus in our hearts forever! Brother Robert Schaefer, FSC 2 A Message from the Principal Dear Friends of Central Catholic, I arrived at Central Catholic five years ago in the middle of August and was immediately struck by the architecture. It is just one of the many things that makes Central distinct from other schools. As I came to know the Brothers in community, the alumni, friends, students, parents, faculty, and staff of Central, the phrase “Living Stone” from the Apostle Peter’s first letter came to mind. “And like living stones, let yourself be built into a spiritual house.” The Central Catholic community as living stones fits the theme of this edition of the Quadrangle Magazine, “Then and Now”. A solid foundation built on a tradition of excellence, combined with vitality and creativity to prepare our young men to be the future leaders in our churches, communities, and professions. The Gospel message seen Brother Anthony T. Baginski, FSC and expressed in a new way by St. John Baptist de La Salle in the 1600’s in France, Principal planted in Pittsburgh in 1927, and continuing to bear fruit in 2016. “Then and Now.” Students who enter Central on Fifth Avenue this August will have the same view as students in 1927. When leaving via the Quadrangle, the parking lot, practice field, and “new gymnasium” have replaced incubator row. Staley Family Plaza and Zupancic Family STEM Center come into view as you walk behind the Brothers’ residence. The students learn the three R’s, although calculators have replaced slide rules, and the calculator they use is often an app on an iPad. iBooks and e-books have supplanted physical text books and yet the preferred method for taking notes is with pen and paper. A look at the course catalog shows a traditional Catholic liberal arts curriculum alongside a diversity of electives, including acapella choir, Russian history, bio-engineering, data analytics, and 3D design and modeling.
