From my vantage point as the new principal , FRXOGQ·W KHOS EHLQJ VWUXFN E\ KRZ FORVHO\ WKH ideals and goals of the Hall of Fame coincide with my impressions of the St. Mary community as a whole. By definition, a Hall of Fame is a celebration of tradition and excellence. The pursuit of excellence has always been at the forefront of all aspects of life here at St. Mary HS, be it athletics, academics or the development of character. In all these areas, the traditions developed here over many decades echo throughout the halls today. The celebration of new inductees into the Hall of Fame becomes another link which ties the excellence of past achievement with the goals and aspirations of our students today. This Hall of Fame induction celebrates athletic achievement, of being remembered among the great athletes and contributors at St. Mary HS. Behind that achievement of notable results, we also celebrate the dedication, commitment and hard work it takes to be successful, in athletics and life. Be it a great team or outstanding individual that we applaud, we acknowledge the persistence of effort necessary for achieving that success. No greater lesson can be passed down to all of our students. Once again congratulations and thank you for being outstanding examples and an integral part of our St. Mary community. Go Gaels!

It will be difficult to surpass the success of our last Banquet, but many months of hard work have gone into preparing tonight’s festivities. After the outpouring of goodwill produced at the last Banquet, the Hall of Fame Committee went back to work on nominating candidates. Dozens of hours were spent reviewing articles in the local newspapers detailing the athletic exploits of the candidates. The actual voting on tonight’s inductees was preceded by the presentation of written and oral biographies on each of the candidates. By subjecting the candidates to this “crucible” of scrutiny, we believe that we have found an illustrious group of Inductee s. The work of the Hall of Fame Committee goes on throughout the entire year, and we welcome comments, suggestions and recommendations of interested Alumni and friends. St. Mary Alumni Association and its Athletic Hall of Fame extend their warm congratulations to this years Inductees, and wish them and their families continued happiness and good fortune.

In acknowledgment of her stellar play during her senior season, Toni received 2nd team All-League honors. On the hardcourt, Toni was a scrappy, sharp-shooting guard who earned four varsity letters and scored 1,024 career points.
