the

CARDINALSt. Charles Preparatory School Alumni Magazine Fall 2012 Inside Dominic J. Cavello ’64 has devoted 40 years to the students and community of St. Charles. Through photos and stories follow him from his first days at the school in 1972 through the reception that honored him last month (pages 4-12).

November is THE month when it comes to three of St. Charles’ most significant events of the year: The Feast Day Mass and presentation of the Borromean Medals and Principal’s Award (pages 20-22); The 11th annual Borromean Lec- ture (pages 21-22); and the presentation of the Distinguished Alumnus Awards at the Thanksgiving liturgy (page 23).

If you attended an event at St. Charles this year chances are it took place in the beautiful Robert C. Walter Student Commons. View the many photo pages devoted to these events including the Mothers Club Silent Auction (pages 42-43); the St. Charles Spaghetti Dinner (pages 41-42) and the Father/Son Mass & Breakfast (pages 38-40).

St. Charles students continue to show them- selves to be some of the finest in the country. Progress on the Robert D. Walter West Campus Initiative The Robotics team earned a trip to the World Championships, the JETS Engineering team was 2nd in the nation; a 100% pass-rate on the OGT and the Class of 2012 boasts two West Point cadets and a Joyce Scholar. Read about these and many other student accomplish- ments, including the 12 National Merit Semifi- nalist named for 2012-2013 (pages 24-36).

Our Alumni News and Class Notes Sections are full of significant updates and accomplish- ments from the school’s graduates. Included are profiles of alumni serving their communities as leaders in business, the military, the Church and, government. You will also find examples of those reaching out to the neediest and most vulnerable (pages 44-76).

In our In Memoriam section (pages 78-80) read about those Prep School and College graduates who helped shape St. Charles and the commu- nity. Read about special gifts made to the St. Charles Museum and its Archives as the school continues its efforts to “Save Our History” (pages 76-80).

Examples of those who have stepped forward on behalf of the school and its students fill the Development Section. Several new endow- ments were established, the 2011 Annual Fund surpassed its target, and the Robert D. Walter West Campus Initiative continues toward its final goal. Also see photos from the Cardinal Society Reception and the pages that make up the annual Donor Roll (pages 81-89). Dominic J.

“Merry Christmas” from the Viet Nam War A family commitment SC wishes Dominic Happy Birthday! For decades, St. Charles wasn’t just a workplace for Cavello but also a topic of dinner-table discussion for his family. Two of his three children ultimately followed him into Catholic education: Dominic A. Cavello, 37, teaches physical education at St. Mary Magdalene and St. Matthias schools; and Kate, 33, is the assistant principal at Immaculate Conception. (She calls her dad daily for advice.)

Aquinas Golf Challenge The 2012 Aquinas College High School & St. Charles Prepara- tory School Golf Challenge was held at Riviera C.C. in Dublin on August 9, with the highest number of participants in the event’s six-years. The format consisted of 14 foursomes of two-man teams playing a best-ball “Ryder Cup” style format. Aquinas came out victorious to take a 3-2-1 overall historical edge in the competition. Storms ended just before the start of the rounds and golfers enjoyed beautiful sunshine throughout the day. In addition to the 24 Carolians and 24 Aquinians players, eight members of the Class of 1962 held their own mini-outing alongside. The event is not specifically tied to the annual com- bined reunion, but was scheduled to coincide with the 2012 Combined Class Reunion Week Activities for alumni in ’62 and ’67. Dinner followed for players and several alumni and friends who did not golf but attended to share in the camaraderie. The event brings together former students and alumni of both schools who graduated before 1965 (the year Aquinas closed its From left – Mike Wagenbrenner ’62, John Kochensparger (AQ ’62), Ron doors).

Aquinas College High School Luncheon Guests Nearly 100 Aquinas College High School grads attended their monthly alumni association meeting in the Walter Student Commons at St. Charles in May. Joining the group were 12 St. Charles students who last year received some portion of support from the Father John R. Smith Aquinas Alumni Scholarship. The fund was established in 1987 by James K. Williams, Jr. (Aquinas ’49) and fellow Aquinas alumni to honor the memory of Fr. Smith, the legendary Aquinas teacher and disciplinarian. The meal was catered by Aquinas grad Jimmy Corrova and his son, Michael ’74, and their T.A.T. Ristorante di Famiglia.
