A higher percentage of our Catholic elementary school students are enrolling at Mater Dei. This year 79% of all eighth graders in the feeder schools are attending Mater Dei. The past two years the total number of eighth graders has also been larger. The increased amount of financial aid available has been a positive factor in allowing more students to attend Mater Dei. Tuition assistance is available for families who meet the financial criteria from the Catholic Education Foundation, the Institute for Quality Education and the recent Full of Grace Capital Campaign. Tuition payment plans have also made the financial element more manageable for families.

In the summer of 2011, Lou Ann Gilbert was hired as an Enrollment Manager to focus on growing the enrollment at Mater Dei. She has initiated marketing efforts to the greater community that are proving effective. She has directed her efforts toward building a stronger working relationship between Mater Dei and the elementary schools. Each year, eighth-graders from the feeder schools visit Mater Dei during a school day to capture a sense of school life on the campus.

The annual Open House at Mater Dei is the largest enrollment event. This year there will be a diocese-wide Open House on Thursday, October 29, 2015. The elementary schools will be open for prospective families from 1–6 p.m. The high schools will be open 6–8 p.m. that evening. Elementary students from all area schools are invited to attend the Open House at Mater Dei to visit classrooms, and talk with teachers and students about the opportunities available for them at Mater Dei. Mrs. Gilbert's diligent efforts are paying off. Dr. Timothy Dickel, president of Mater Dei, states “We are thrilled to see an increase of enrollment for the third year in a row. A greater student population allows Mater Dei to have a larger

SPORTS RECAP: Fall 2015 Gerald Nurrenbern invites Mater Dei fans to have a seat tening for any available. He drove to the University of Missouri in central Missouri to look at bleachers they were selling from their end zone. He will do whatever it takes to assure that Mater Dei fans have a place to sit to watch an athletic event.

For the past 10 years, Gerald Nurrenbern has been providing bleacher seating for Wildcat fans who attend games at Mater Dei’s home fields. He seized the opportunity in 2005 to purchase bleachers for Mater Dei when the Evansville-Vanderburgh School Corporation decided to replace the bleachers at Enlow Field. He was instrumental in getting six sections assembled for seating at the Mater Dei football field for junior varsity and freshman games. Once the girls’ softball team home field was moved to Howell Park, Gerald also made certain that two sections of bleacher seating was available for fans. This past summer, he has worked diligently reassembling the bleachers for the football field after the new artificial turf field was installed and to provide bleachers for the new MD baseball field. Assembling the bleachers for the baseball field

proved challenging since necessary parts were missing. He needed boards, the part of the bleachers that fans walk on, to be able to complete construction. He was able to obtain those from Goebel Soccer Complex this summer. He also is adding a section that is nine rows high for the baseball field. Gerald has six more sections of bleachers, but he does not have the boards. He is always looking and lis-

The 2015 Mater Dei Summer Football Feeder Camp poses for a picture. Mater Dei has been hosting summer athletic camps for grade school students for nearly 40 years. Most of the camps are conducted by the high school coaches, and high school athletes are camp volunteers. The kids enjoy being around the older athletes who help them develop and sharpen their skills.

Gerald not only purchased all of the bleachers and then donated them to Mater Dei, he also has spent hours constructing them and power washing them to make them look like new. As Athletic Director Joe Herrmann states, “We are very fortunate to have Gerald as a volunteer at Mater Dei. The bleacher projects are just one of the many things he does around here. He has taken charge of this project and has completed the majority of the work on his own. Gerald is the type of guy that you just trust to do what is best for the school and let him work.” So we thank Gerald for all of his hard work providing MD spectators with a place to sit and enjoy the game!

Meredith Daunhauer and Ben Sellers, 2015 graduating seniors, were chosen by the Southern Indiana High School Coaches Association to play in the All Star games for softball and baseball this summer. Meredith is continuing her softball career this year at Kentucky Wesleyan College, and Ben is playing baseball for Western Illinois University.

Mater Dei Capital Campaign Projects update Artificial Turf Field

Tennis Complex

Boots Baumann Field was dedicated on Saturday, August 8, 2015. Although the field was dedicated in August, some of the perimeter work continues, including new lighting, fencing, and seeding and sodding.

Construction is underway on the Steve and Colleen Aichle Tennis Complex. They have made a gift in honor of Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis partner Bill Blankenberger. The six court complex will include lighting and post tension concrete surfaces. The construction should be complete in advance of the spring 2016 tennis season.

Entrance Enhancement The entrance has been expanded, including an additional turn lane exiting the campus to enhance the traffic flow. The road will be resurfaced near the end of the project later this fall. Dirt from the south side of the drive (where the convent previously sat) has been moved to the area where the tennis courts will be located. Additional dirt has been hauled in for this area. New storm sewers have been installed around the perimeter of the tennis courts to address drainage issues. A water line feeding the neighborhood to the south of the school was relocated in September. A new marquee will be installed in the front of the school later this school year.

Annual Fund

2015–16 Annual Fund co-chairs Jake ’02 & Katie Schiff When Jake Schiff ’02 was quarterback for Mater Dei, he passed and handed off the ball thousands of times. To win games, his receivers had to catch the ball, the line had to block the opponent and his running backs had to hit the holes. In three years, Jake’s teams only lost three times. In 2000, the Mater Dei Wildcats posted a perfect season, going undefeated and winning the Class 2A state championship. In 2015–16, Jake and his wife Katie will chair the Mater Dei Annual Fund. They know that it will take the whole team—all of Mater Dei’s alumni and friends— to make this year’s Annual Fund successful. Jake said, “I enjoyed my time

Red& Gold Fall 2015

playing football at Mater Dei (and later ISU), but the classroom was also a favorite place of mine. The time management skills and team approach which were developed are as valuable to me today as they were in high school. I want my son to have that same experience when he grows up, so I know Katie and I need to be involved now at Mater Dei.” After graduating with honors from Mater Dei, Jake went on to play Division I AA football at Indiana State University. He completed his business degree and is now a broker for Hilliard Lyons. Katie is the owner of Pen Pals and Knit Witts, a stationery and yarn shop in Evansville. They also have a two-year-old son, Webber.

“We need more young alumni involved at Mater Dei. Whether you can volunteer or coach or donate, we need your participation. I hope I can ’pass’ this along to the Mater Dei community!”

Mater Dei offers heartfelt thanks to Fr. David Nunning for his leadership as the 2014–15 Annual Fund Chair

“I guess you could say Mater Dei has always been a part of me.”

The Mater Dei community extends a heartfelt thank you to Fr. David Nunning for his leadership and service as the 2014–15 Annual Fund Chair during the 65th Anniversary celebration year. His contributions, and those of his five siblings who graduated from Mater Dei— Marge Basden ’51, Madelyn Eickhoff ’53, Bernard Nunning ’56, Walter Nunning ’58 and Gerald Nunning’64—all helped raise more than $311,000 for Mater Dei High School through the Mater Dei Anniversary Annual Fund. The Nunning children gave in honor of their parents, Oscar and Marie Nunning.

“I have never failed to notice that Mater Dei alumni make a difference throughout our city and nation in business, in church communities, and indeed, wherever they are!” commented Fr. Nunning.

In Memoriam Guy Smyth Mater Dei High School lost a wonderful friend and employee this past summer. Facilities manager Guy Smyth passed away unexpectedly July 3, 2015, at his lake house on Kentucky Lake. Five years ago, Mater Dei President Tad Dickel hired Guy as the facilities manager. It was a match made in heaven. Guy loved Mater Dei and Mater Dei loved Guy. He brought to the job a multitude of skills having been a plumber at Industrial Contractors for many years, retiring in 2009. He had knowledge of all areas of maintenance and no job was too big for him to tackle. He was a kind and caring man. We miss him every day. Guy was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Vanderburgh County, a member of the Board of Directors of the German Township Water District and he served his country in Vietnam. He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Cindy; his daughter, Erin; his son, Ben and his wife, Colleen; and his grandson, Isaac. We continue to keep Guy’s family in our thoughts and prayers.

The Mater Dei community remembers those alumni, parents and friends who have passed. May they rest in eternal peace.

2014â&#x2C6;&#x2019;15 The Mater Dei Annual Report is published each year to recognize and encourage those who further the mission of Mater Dei High School through their gifts of time, talent and treasure. The Mater Dei Annual Fund Honor Roll of Donors is produced by the Mater Dei High School Office of Institutional Advancement.

Help make Catholic education possible for students today Dear Alumni and Friends, For several years, we have published an Honor Roll of Donors and Annual Report. We typically include the names of the many benefactors who generously support Mater Dei through the Annual Fund, and we include statistics and graphs listing our financial performance. The listing of names demonstrates how the community comes together to support Mater Dei, and the financial reporting is an attempt at transparency and an opportunity to raise awareness of the resources needed to operate the school. However, it is important to note that these names and financial reports represent much more than how they appear on the pages of this publication.

Mater Dei is only able to provide lifechanging experiences for students through the generosity of our donors and the careful stewardship of our resources. Here are a couple examples: â&#x20AC;˘ The Freshman Retreat was held in September. An overwhelming number of students reported that this retreat enriched their spiritual lives and they understood the importance of providing these opportunities for all students. â&#x20AC;˘ Numerous Mater Dei alumni college students indicate feeling extremely prepared for the demands of college. They credit their Mater Dei education for their success in college. One of the best aspects of my position is connecting with alumni. Many alumni continue to volunteer regularly at Mater Dei, and I often hear that they do this to give back for the formation received at Mater Dei. All beneficiaries of a Mater Dei education were helped as a result of the sacrifices of parents, alumni, friends, teachers, priests, sisters, parishes, etc. To those who already support Mater Dei,

we thank you. If you do not currently support Mater Dei, would you consider helping make a Catholic education possible for students today? Mary, Mater Dei, pray for us! Sincerely,

Timothy A. Dickel, Ph.D. President

Prayer for MD God, our Father, You have greatly blessed Mater Dei High School: A school dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. Help us to treasure Your gift of life and remember that we are all created in Your image. Lord Jesus, You are the unseen but ever-present teacher in our classes. Grant us all the perception to see the many opportunities to show Your love, mercy, and kindness to one another. Holy Spirit, guide us with the fire of Your love. Give us vision and determination for shaping a faith-filled future. May we all use our time and talents to glorify Your Holy Name. May the Virgin Mary’s openness to the Word of God be our example of love and service to God and neighbor. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
