Flashback Photo
Last Month's Flashback
This a picture from the 1972 yearbook. The headline at the top of the page reads, "Senior Cut Day Causes Much Confusion." While there has always been senior cut days at most schools including North, this particular day was unusual. Most of the senior class came to school that day. However, as the morning went on they slowly left the building, a few at a time until most were gone by noon. Quite a few of them ended up at a grove in North Park. Unfortunately, many were caught by the county police who stopped at the grove. Those who were caught were released into the custody of Mr. Sam Lema, the vice principal in charge of discipline. The culprits had to come into school on a Saturday morning for what might have been the first ever Saturday detention in school history.
The photo below was taken in the school parking lot with help of a good-natured Pittsburgh Police officer. The three "criminals" are (l-r): Joe Balestrino, Mike LoPinto, and Mike "Skippy" McCabe.
|
|
Here are the responses to the photo. Mike Lopinto ('72) identified his accomplices in the photo. Fellow classmate Dave Malone was able to identify two of the people. Joe Balestrino ('72) offered the following, "Definitely Class of ‘72 Senior Cut Day, although obviously not very well executed. Photo shows Joe Balestrino, Mike Lopinto and (if memory is correct) Skip McCabe, and fortunately a legitimate officer with a sense of humor."

Dennis N. Ranalli recently published a feature story in the Fall 2021 issue of the Western PA History magazine entitled, The Selfless Heroism of Equitable Gas Company, Division B North Side. The article commemorates the 50th anniversary of a tragic industrial accident that took place in Troy Hill behind North Catholic High School on November 17,1971. Six gas men lost their lives attempting to rescue co-workers being overcome by leaking methane gas inside an underground regulator vault. Included are quotes from former NC faculty members Walter Quinn (’65) and Charles Struhar (’64). A commemorative plaque listing the six men who perished was affixed to an outside wall at the former NCHS building. One hero who lost his life that day was Raymond J. Grundler, an NC alum (‘57) who posthumously was awarded a Carnegie Hero Medal, then later in 2018, was inducted into the North Catholic Hall of Fame. The magazine is available through the Senator John Heinz History Center.

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 we have raised over $30,000 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 9th 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
1617 Route 228
Cranberry Township, PA 16066
ATTN: Development Office
The John Latulippe Memorial Scholarship
The John Latuilippe Memorial Scholarship has been awarded to Gabriel Grindstaff - NC class of 2024. Thank you to all who have donated.

Contributions to the Fund can be made at any time and should be sent to the North Catholic Foundation, North Catholic High School, ATTN: Class of 1959 Scholarship Fund, 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 $45,000 in donations and pledges. Special shout out goes to the newet member of the North Catholic Hall of Fame, ART MURPHY for his $10,000 donation. Also a big thank you to ED KOSS for his generous donation.
The award for the 2021-2022 school year have been made to juniors Thomas Zizan and Kaitlyn Kenaan. They are children of NC alums Dan Kenaan ('91) and Julie Rogalla ('87) and received $1,000 to help with tuition. Both students were on the honor roll last year.
We need the help of our classmates to grow the scholarship fund. 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. If you have questions, feel free to contact Bob Colbert (bobcolbert@comcast.net) or Walt Quinn (quinn.walter@comcast.net)
Some of our classmates are committing to making a monthly donation. JOHN MIKULAN is the latest classmate to set up a monthly contribution. They join a number of fellow classmates including Wayne Young, Walt Quinn, and Bob Colbert who have been making a small monthly donation for the past three years that is put on their 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.
John Mikulan is also donating 20% of the royalties from his book, The Bark of the Day to the fund.
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. This year's recipient is Dacia Lewandowski, NC '23. If you'd like to donate to this scholarship, 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.
Thank you to all who have donated recently in memory of Dave Lyons.

NC Class of 1953 Scholarship
A huge thank you to everyone who recently donated to the North Catholic Class of 1953 Scholarship. To date, $21,234.00 has been raised. Thank you to all who made a generous gift, and in a special way donations received in memory of Richard J. Scheuring ('53) who passed away in October. Read below to hear more about this scholarship from two '53 classmates, Vince Brogan and Brig. Gen. Regis F.A.Urschler USAF (Ret.)
Somewhat recently, an ad hoc group of classmates from the NCHS Class of '53 (Charley Goetz, Bob Muth and Reg Urschler), working with the Alumni office, some survivors of deceased classmates, as well as input from other classes who already funded scholarship programs, concluded our class should likewise fund a scholarship program.
In order to do so, a minimum of $25K would be necessary. Additionally, the alumni office advised that our graduating class consisted of 230 graduates. Deduct from that those already called to their eternal reward (103) together with those with whom contact has been lost (30), results in 97 current survivors. Thus $25K from less than 100 survivors would require almost $260 per graduate. Some have already made contributions reducing the necessary amount to a little over $9000. Thus if each surviving classmate could provide around $100, we could achieve the objective. Think of the impact such a Scholarship Fund would have as a legacy for our class.
I believe it was Chester Nimitz during War II stated about the US military in battle "All gave some, but some gave all". I would encourage all to give some. Keep in mind, that a lot of small drops fill the bucket.
Wishing all best regards,
Vince Brogan, NC ‘53

Planned giving is a wonderful way to prepare for the day we depart this life and enter into God's kingdom. By planning ahead, you can provide opportunities to young men and women by supporting North Catholic. Planned giving allows us to help continue the work of Christ and pass on our traditions and Catholic Marianist values. Gifts can be specified in one's will as either a dollar amount of a stated percentage of one's estate. A growing number of alumni have taken this step and discovered a great sense of joy and satisfaction that they are helping families. If you are interested in finding out more, please click here or contact Amber Nicotra Morrison in the Development Office at amorrison@northcatholic.org.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
