North Division High School alumni and friends gathered on Friday and Saturday, October 18-19, 2013 to mark the induction of the newest members of the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Informal announcement and introduction of this year’s honorees was held at North Division on October 18, which included unveiling of the school’s athletic wall of fame featuring outstanding alumni athletes and cheerleaders from the school’s 110-year history. On Saturday, October 19, a recognition banquet and dance was held at the Hilton Garden Inn at Park Place. An ironic bit of history was revealed during the commemorative weekend; namely, that until the present building was constructed in 1978, North Division “Blue Devils” teams and individual athletes excelled in city, regional and statewide sports competition despite the fact that the school lacked adequate training facilities. This year,
special recognition was paid to the Hall of Fame founders who have helped the event grow since it was launched in 2008. Founders (left photo, from left) include Marvin Fuller, James “Smitty” Smith, Michael Cummings, and Irie Grant; also (not pictured) Dennis Mandel, Andre Ptak, Fred Bland, Gisela Benning, and Robert Cargile. Also honored were several businesses who have supported the development and ongoing activities of the NDHS Athletic Hall of Fame, including (right photo from left) Jacquelyn Heath, of the Milwaukee Times Weekly Newspaper; Charlene Gray, of Young’s Bar; and (not pictured) James and Jamie Gladney, of Catfish Lounge. The next Blue Devils Athletic Hall of Fame Weekend is set for October 2015, so mark your calendars now.
