Nominations now being accepted for the 2020 Hall of Fame
Dear North Catholic Alumni:
As many of you know, North Catholic's Alumni Hall of Fame began in 1999 to honor alumni, who through their outstanding accomplishments and service to their communities, have brought pride and distinction to the North Catholic family. The Hall of Fame honors North Catholic's tradition of excellence and continues to inspire our North Catholic students and our alumni. Our Hall of Fame members represent what it means to be a Trojan all over
I grew up in the world in all avenues of life, through excellence, integrity, performance and faith. Pittsburgh and left after graduation from North Catholic to join the Navy. Thanks to an NROTC scholarship, I graduated from college and was commissioned as a Navy Ensign, serving as a Naval aviator for 17 years and was one of the first women to fly in a combat squadron.
I was incredibly honored to not only be nominated for the Hall of Fame but to be selected to be part of the 2013 Hall of Fame class. I consider it one of my most special honors.
I want to encourage my fellow alumni, to consider nominating an amazing alumni for the 2020 Hall of Fame Class, someone you think should be highlighted and recognized. We have so many amazing graduates, men and women of North Catholic, that are doing great things in their communities - contributing, serving, enriching, making a difference. I especially would love to see more of our outstanding women alumni in our Hall of Fame.
Sincerely,
Linda Maloney
2013 North Catholic Hall of Fame
Do you know a classmate who has done some charitable work that deserves recognition? Someone who is worthy of accolades for their work in the community? Someone who has done a lot for North Catholic?
The Hall of Fame is always seeking nominations for induction. We know that there are distinguished graduates, who deserve a place in the school's hall of fame. If you know of someone from your class or anyone who should be recognized for their accomplishments, please nominate them. Remember this not just a sports hall of fame. You can go to the school
website for complete details. If you have questions, contact us
here and we will pass your message to the Hall of Fame Committee. Please note that nominations are only good for three years, but they can be renewed. Nominate someone today. The committee will be meeting in January to begin the review process for this year's class.
Note

Since North is celebrating its 80th birthday, we are spotlighting photos from the eight decades of the school. This month we feature photos from the fifth decade of Trojan history.
Changes at North continued in the 1980's. With the admission of girls in the 1970's, the student population which had dipped, leveled off brought about by the closures of most of the all girls academies. Declining enrollment and grade school closures began to affect North's enrollment as the decade came to a close. Tuition now topped the $1,000 mark and continued to rise with the dwindling number of priests and brothers available to teach.
While North entered the WPIAL in the mid 70's, athlete success came into play as the Trojanettes began a run on PIAA state championships and continued to dominate the WPIAL playoffs that had begun in 1978. Tim Donovan garnered the first WPIAL title in boys tennis. On the ice the Trojans were the team to beat.
Oh yeah, the yearbooks began to have color photography.
Here are some photos from that time period.

Thomas O'Rourke sent us this,
"
Me and my family have been living in Europe for many, many years. I met and married my wife in Oberammergau, Germany in 1968. Oberammergau is where they have been doing the passion play for hundreds of years. My wife came there to visit her uncle who was the manager of the officers club that they had in Oberamergau many years ago. We lived there for many years. My wife was born in Newcastle, England. She passed away with pancriatic cancer in 2012. I currently live with one of my daughters in Trevignano on Lake Bracanno in Italy. A truly wonderful place."

Last Month's Flashback
This picture was found in the 1973 yearbook. The young men are (l-r): Ray Clark, Lloyd Lamperski, and Tom Bunting. They were voted by their classmates as the brightest/smartest seniors (thus the reason for the light bulbs).
Joe Koch ('73), Joe Scott ('73), and Bill Cunningham ('73) all identified the three "bright lights." Jerry Becker ('73) said, "definitely class of 73,
but I just
can't remember their names. I think the guy in the middle was a "...ski" and the one on the right was something like Bunting, but I'm not sure. They were some of the smarter guys, so I'm guessing the Science Club? The best response came from Stephanie Arend Lamperski who easily identified her husband, Dr Lloyd Lamperski. She is the daughter of Mary Ann Arend who taught religion at North in the 70's. The Lamperski's have been married for 40 years.
Who are these folk? What do they represent? Send us your answers or your guesses

Military Legacy Scholarship
|
|
The school has initiated a Military Legacy Scholarship in honor of all alumni who have served in our nation's military forces.
The goal is to raise over $30,000 and to provide a $1,000 scholarship annually. The scholarship will be awarded annually to the student provided certain benchmarks are met. Every four years (or sooner) it will be awarded to another incoming 9th grade student.
Congratulations to this year's recipient, Douglas Joseph.
The military legacy scholarship fund has passed the $28,000 mark. Recent contributions received that made that happen were from Regis Urschler '53, Robert Sinagra '70, Michael Conroy '59, Michael D. Herman '75, The Class of 1954 and The Class of 1989 in memory of Mark Melcher. A special thanks to everyone who has contributed to this scholarship fund since its inception
All money will be used to provide educational opportunities to a student. To honor those who served, please consider a contribution in any amount to the new Military Legacy 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:

Kathy Monti Memorial Scholarship
|
|
Kathy Hickey Monti's limitless love and passion for helping others was apparent to everybody she met. Her pride for North Catholic began in 1973, when her high school closed and she enrolled in the first co-ed class at North as a junior. Kathy led the charge to keep her school's basketball team together. As a standout guard and the very first team captain of North's first women's basketball program, Kathy and her fellow Trojanettes began a women's basketball dynasty that is alive and continues to thrive today. Following her graduation from North in 1975, Kathy played basketball in college and served as team captain and leader. Soon, she was recruited to come back to North and take on the role of Assistant Basketball Coach for the girl's team and with Coach Don Barth, her mentor, friend and former coach, led them to win multiple state championships. When North opened in Cranberry Township, Kathy continued to volunteer her time at the new school that she loved so dearly until her last breath. 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 in athletics.
To continue Kathy's legacy and mission in life of helping others, a scholarship has been established in her name. More than $20,000 has already been raised. The purpose of the Kathy Monti Memorial Scholarship is to provide financial support for a young woman who possesses the same leadership qualities that Kathy demonstrated in her life. In order to finance this scholarship and celebrate Kathy's life, we hope you can join us by donating. 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.

Class of 1965 Legacy Scholarship
|
|
The Class of 1965 Legacy Scholarship continues to grow. To date, our classmates have raised over $31,000 in donations and pledges. Special shout out goes to ART MURPHY for his recent donation of $10,000.
We need the help of our classmates to grow the scholarship fund. Classmates wishing to contribute can contact Walt Quinn (quinn.walter@comcast.net) or Dan Wolovich (dwolovich@comcast.net). If we can get more of our classmates to step up and help keep our legacy scholarship fund growing, there is no end to what the money can do to help a student to get the great education that North provided to us and continues to do so today. No contribution is too small.
Thanks also to TOM HENCHAR and BILL GUBANIC for their recent donations and to WAYNE YOUNG, WALT QUINN. and BOB COLBERT
for
theircontinued monthly donations. Bob Colbert has been making a small monthly donation for the past three years that is put on his credit card. As Bob said, "it's less that the cost of a bottle of wine." If you would like to contribute a small monthly amount via your credit card, contact Amber Nicotra Morrison
to set it up.

At our 50
th reunion on September 14, 2019, the Class of '69 pledged to raise $10,000 to show our support and appreciation for North Catholic's continuing work of educating young men and women.
Joe Bradley reports that as of mid-January, we have raised over $6,000. Fourteen (14) classmates have already contributed. The fact that you contribute says that you stand with the Class of '69 and that is more important than the amount.

When you donate (online or check) please indicate Class of 1969 with your gift. If you need more information, please feel free to contact Joe Bradley (812-216-0394) or Amber Morrison at amorrison@northcatholic.org or by calling 412-321-4823, x529.

Military Alumni
|
|
Thanks to many of you, our list of alumni who have served in our nation's military services has grown to almost 1,500. We thank all of you who have taken the time to help us with this endeavor. Perhaps you have noticed that recently an asterisk has been added next to name of more than two dozen individuals on the list. This indicates the individual died while in the military, either Killed in Action or a non-battle death. There may be more alumni who died while serving. If you know of someone that should have the asterisk added next to their name please let us know. We will always appreciate your efforts to help us update this honor roll of our alumni.
Thank you to all of our alumni for their service to our country!
