Last month we inadvertently published the wrong senior picture for Frank Ranalli. Here is his senior picture from the 1947 yearbook.

Flashback Photo

Last Month's Flashback

This is photo is a photo from the 1965 Trojan yearbook. It celebrates the dedication of the Chapel of the Sacred Heart on January 6, 1965. Bishop John Wright presided over the dedication. In the photo Gene Scanlon ('65) holds the cross while Charles "Boats" Gabos('65) is on the left and his bother Dick Gabos is on the right. Don Sayut ('65) is in the background. When the school moved to Cranberry, the stained class windows, stations of the cross, holy water fount, and the cross were all brought from the chapel and installed in the new chapel.

We got quite a few responses on the photo. Bob Tevis ('65) said, "Charles "Boats" Gabos - acolyte, Gene Scanlon - cross bearer, Dick Gabos - acolyte, Don Sayut in the background. Jeff Wetherel ('66) not only knew the occasion for the picture, but also the date - January 6, 1965. Tom Markl and Jim Beran, both from the class of '66) knew it was the dedication of the chapel. Earle King ('65), Bob Mill ('65) Art Murphy ('65), and John Gruendel ('66) were able to identify some or all of the people in the photo.



This Month's Flashback

This flashback photo is for older alums. What was the group in this photograph? Can you identify the people in it? So send us what you know about this photo.

Military Legacy Scholarship

North Catholic has a Military Legacy Scholarship in honor of all alumni who have served in our nation’s military forces. The goal is to provide a $1,000.00 scholarship annually. To date, over $30,000 has been raised to fund this annual scholarship. The scholarship is awarded annually to the student provided certain benchmarks are met. Every 4 years (or sooner) it is awarded to an incoming 9^th grade student. Molly Burke ('24) is the recipient of the scholarship.

If you wish, you may make a contribution in someone's honor/memory. Donations can be made by sending checks payable to North Catholic, write "North Catholic Military Scholarship" in the memo, and mail to: 

North Catholic High School

Class of 1965 Legacy Scholarship

The Legacy Scholarship was set up as part of our 50th class reunion by Dan Wolovich and Wayne Young and has been under the direction of Bob Colbert and Walt Quinn for the past few years.

The scholarship has helped students with the ever increasing cost of Catholic education. When we were at North, almost all of the tuition was paid by our parishes (remember having to face your pastor as he reviewed your report card?) Now the cost of tuition has fallen completely on the parents.

In order to help parents provide the great education that we received all those years ago, we need more of our classmates to step up and help keep our legacy scholarship fund growing. No contribution is too small. Thanks to classmates, ART MURPHY and JOCKO ILCISIN for their recent contributions. Art and Jocko and many others continue to make contributions periodically through out the year. Other classmates have continued to make small monthly contributions by setting up a monthly credit card donation (read $10 to $25). The great thing about that is it's painless and adds to the scholarship fund which continues to grow. As of the beginning of September there is $48,000 in our endowment.

We are happy to announce that this year's Legacy Scholarships for this school year have been awarded to sophomore MADISON SERETTI. Madison is an honors student with a GPA of 3.9 and is the daughter of NC alum, Leslie Filip ('89) The second recipient is junior DONNIE SCHUBERT, a graduate of Blessed Trinity Academy. Donnie is a basketball player and carries a 3.9 GPA.  

Consider making a donation to the fund today!

You can send your check to the school with a notation that it's for the '65 scholarship fund; or If you would like to contribute a small monthly amount via your credit card, contact Amber Nicotra Morrison to set it up.



If you have questions about our efforts, feel free to contact Bob Colbert (bobcolbert@comcast.net) or Walt Quinn (quinn.walter@comcast.net)

Kathy Monti Memorial Scholarship

Special thanks to all who donated to the Kathy Hickey Monti (’75) scholarship.  More than $20,000 has been raised to help provide financial support for a young woman who possesses the same leadership qualities that Kathy demonstrated in her life.   A member of the first co-ed class at North, Kathy was a leader among her peers, becoming the first captain of North's first women's basketball team.  Later she was named Assistant Basketball Coach, who along with Coach Don Barth (’51), led the Trojanettes to win multiple state championships. In 2017, just before her death, Kathy was voted unanimously into the North Catholic Hall of Fame. Kathy will long be remembered for her impact on hundreds of lives as a teacher, an assistant basketball coach and female role model for girls. If you'd like to donate, please click here or checks can be sent payable to North Catholic with "Kathy Monti Scholarship Fund" in the Memo and mailed to North Catholic High School, 1617 Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA 16066.

The Fund was proposed by Reg Urschler in the Spring of 2021, and an ad hoc committee was established, comprised of Reg, Charley Goetz, Bob Muth, and Vince Brogan.

The ad hoc committee urges all classmates to make new or continuing contributions to the Fund. Checks should be made payable to the “NC Class of 1953 Scholarship Fund”and sent to the attention of: Amber Morrison, North Catholic High School, 1617 Route 228, Cranberry Township, Pa 16066.

How fortunate we were to have had the benefit of the education afforded us. What a wonderful opportunity this provides to all of us and the remaining families to "invest" in a "guaranteed return on that investment" by providing a similar opportunity to current students' futures.

Ms. Myron's AP Government students recently held a mock Congress. The students split into political parties and chose a Speaker of the House or Senate leader from the majority party to run each session as well as a minority leader. Each student wrote a bill, met in committee, and then presented the bill to the class. The students participated in debate and took votes on each bill. The bills that passed one class period were then sent to another class period for more debate and voting. This project allowed students to have a hands-on experience with the U.S. lawmaking process!
