Mr. Thomas Humphrey

What do we think of when we hear the name Mr. Humphrey? In our Notre Dame family, he is our lovin8 8randfather. We can all relate the warm feelin8 we 8et from Mr. Humphrey when he shares his love and knowled8e of 8reat literature from Beowulf to Paradise Lost, and the many loud thuds on the desk while tryin8 to explain syllables and accents on words. Mr. Humphrey is a proud 8raduate of 8t Joe's and went on to teach and eventually became the vice principal at Trenton Hi8h 6chool. After he had finished teachin8 there, the call of the classroom brou8ht him into our Notre Dame family, and kept him here for the past 9 years. Here he teaches us to eschew ambi8uity, and that the best way to win an ar8ument is to confuse someone by callin8 them a pusillanimous punk. It is a pleasure of the seniors to know Mr. Humphrey and an even 8reater experience to be tau8ht by such an intelli8ent and seasoned individual. Always ready to toe the line in the name of individuality, which inspires us to branch out and make chan8e. Thank you, Mr. Humphrey, for allowin8 us to spend our senior year with you.

One Bucket at a Time BY THOMAS HUMPHREY written 10 days after September 11, 2001

Soot-covered, exhausted, determined, they stood amid a pile of rubble and dug, one bucket at a time. And they passed along contents sifted for disposal, one bucket at a time. Those unnamed heroes, one bucket at a time, passed before their sweat- and tear-stained eyes, the steel bits, papers and pictures of families, crushed in the inescapable collapse of work stations. One bucket at a time, America shed its tears of grief for the victims, for families and for their fears. Tears flowed fast as the myopic screen flashed the endlessly repeated, second incredible entry of jet fuel into the heart of America's financial community. And the tears flowed easily, one bucket at a time, amid the screams, the pain and the panic all over America. Hypnotized viewers phoned schools, fathers and siblings, and rushed to caress children crying for a reassuring hug. And for days it continued ... one bucket at a time. Blood flowed into life-saving bags at Red Cross centers, and flowed again into life support systems in hospital burn units. And it continued all over America, one bucket at a time. One bucket at a time, on street corners, in shopping malls and in theaters, the dollars mounted and counted coins conquered hate and filled the buckets with love, one bucket at a time. Churches, long lonely and dark, filled with song. Prayers passed heavenward, pleading for pardon and mercy. Daily, the press released one more name at a time. And memorial services began the healing of the pointless pain of broken families, talented and young. America mourned the many forgoing graves, while the heroes continued to dig for closure, one bucket at a time. A nation nearer to unity joined in singing for God's blessings on America. The flags unfurled. Leaders called for calm and a return to life. Summer faded and darkness fell, and slowly the nation awakened to a new reality. Someday again, summer will see fatherless children playing at beach shorelines, building sand castles and skyscrapers, filling little plastic buckets, one bucket at a time. New life begins. New tongues will speak forever to glasses raised in toast to heroes dead and living. And while we work for peace, the images of Ground Zero vivid still, we search for answers, one bucket at a time. 3

Dear Class of They had vision. It is a simple sentence that sums up the accomplishment of all those people who had a part, big or small, in opening Notre Dame 50 years ago. What they did has stood the test of time. They bought enough land so that the school could grow. They refined the building with oak and marble to give it a sense of quality and permanence. They installed an elevator when no other school in the area had one. They made an auditorium and backstage area with amenities that to this day make us the envy of our sister schools. They made classrooms large enough in size so that divisions could be made as needed. Finally, they set up an educational philosophy that holds steady more than two generations later and is attracting students from three times the area of the original population. Quite an accomplishment, wouldnt you agree?

Dear Class of 2008, You have come to a major crossroads in your lives-the end of your years at Notre Dame High School. Think back to your first days at Notre Dame as an uncertain freshmanyou have grown spiritually, physically, socially and intellectually over the last four years. Hopefully, Notre Dame has become an important part of your life-you have made good friends, been touched by teachers who love you and have been there to nurture you as well as teach you. You have touched each of our lives. We have been enriched by your spirit, compassion, sensitivity, and sense of humor. Each one of you have helped to make Notre Dame the excellent school it is by all you have shared of yourself your time, talents, gifts, and energy. You are ready to move on, and so you should be. New beginnings are times of great anticipation and excitement. New beginnings signal an end to one phase of your lives. Endings can be painful, especially as we leave all that is familiar friends, teachers, routines, etc. that we have grown accustomed to with each passing year. This yearbook is a collection of memories, a reminder of a special time and people in your lives.

But what lesson is there in all that for you? The lesson is an easy one: make all your decisions, your actions, your accomplishments with the same test of time in mind. In 50 years, what will people say about what you have done? Strive to leave that imprint on something, on someone. As you start walking into your adult years, make sure that the footprints you leave behind are deep and defined. Thats what they did 50 years ago. Congratulations and God Bless. Mr. Sciarrotta

My prayer for each of you is that the light of faith and love that you first experienced in your families and then at Notre Dame continue to grow as you look forward into the world with your love and faith. Let Gods unconditional love for you influence the choices you make in the future. Thank you for touching my heart and sharing your lives with me. May Jesus, our companion, bless you and, through you, reveal His presence to others. Lovingly,

... Moving Forward
