Gerry Faust on Mother Mary and His Days at Notre Daine

With their defeat of USC on Nov. 24, the University of Notre Dame football team finished the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1988.

This has garnered the team even more attention than usual, bringing to mind past Fighting Irish records and coaches. Gerry Faust is one former coach who has many stories to tell from his days at Notre Dame. After an extraordinarily successful career at Archbishop Moeller High School in Cincinnati, he was catapulted directly into the head coaching job at Notre Dame in 1981.

Faust learned from his football experiences at Notre Dame in large part because of his devotion to the Blessed Mother. He spoke with the Register prior to 12-0 Notre Dame's Jan. 7 game with the University of Alabama (12-1) for the national title. At press time, the game had not been played.

What do you think of this year's squad at Notre Dame?

What's not to like? They've played very hard and have done very well. It's been a tremendous season, and they're looking to continue that success on Jan. 7 against Alabama. Everyone would like to be undefeated the whole way through a season and win a bowl game, but it doesn't happen all that often.

Consideration of Gerard A. Faust II For nomination to the Hall of Fame

We are extremely hopeful that you will look favorable upon our former and founding head football coach as a candidate for this most prestigious honor.

We have included the 'statistical' side of Gerry's high school career. However, we would hasten to emphasize that his 'personal' contributions to our school and community were even a more stringent measure of the man and the 'coach'.

**********************************************

Suddenly, Cincinnati has emerged as the mecca of high school football in the United States. College recruiters have known as much for quite awhile and Cincinnati grid fans have quietly sensed it even longer. But the state and national press corps have only taken notice recently, thanks to a school named Moeller High.

"I don't think there's ever been another team like them," said Gahanna Lincoln Head Coach Neal Billman, "and I've seen and been connected with a lot of great teams. More than anyone I've ever seen, they do it all."

Billman was speaking of Cincinnati Moeller, a team which pulverized his previously unbeaten Lions 43-5 at the Rubber Bowl in December, giving the Crusaders their second consecutive Ohio AAA football championship. Playing in one of the best football states in the land, this Moeller team has been billed as one of the greatest in Ohio history; their threemonth display of brilliance convinced many that Coach Gerry Faust had more than just an ordinary high school football team.

"We have a great football team," said Faust after watching his top-ranked club qualify for the state finals with a 48-0 pasting of unbeaten Youngstown Cardinal Mooney, the big school champ before Moeller occupied the state grid throne. "I think it's the best we ever had here and PREP I APRIL-MAY 1977

we've had some great ones. The thing that really excites us, is the fact that eight starters return on defense and our underclassmen had a great season."

Their win over Gahanna Lincoln added to a list of romps over powerhouses like Middletown, Cincinnati Princeton, Elder, Roger Bacon and LaSalle during the regular season. It was enough to convince most Ohio fans of Moeller's dominance, but the Crusaders had to prove it one more time to make it official. They did, and Moeller High is No. I. Perhaps the recent cloudburst of publicity on Cincy prep football is just retribution for its many years of anonymity. Certainly football has enjoyed a rich tradition in Cincinnati. Memories of Roger Staubach, Bron Bacevich and George Ratterman remain fresh in the minds of area residents. Even now, Thanksgiving Day would seem incomplete without the annual ElderWest High game. Despite such noteworthy events and personalities, Cincinnati football remained provincial, unnoticed even by the rest of Ohio.

The roots of tradition were strong and the stories were tall in this area, but unfortunately, the legends grew much taller upstate. Men like Bron Bacevich and his Roger Bacon Spartans were hidden in the shadow of Paul Brown and his nationally-famed Massillon Tigers. The championship throne, selected each year by the UPI coaches' poll, was customarily

reserved for schools like Massillon and the McKinleys - Canton, Niles and Warren, by name. If a Cincinnati team enjoyed an unbeaten, untied or unscored upon season, the upstate elite might find a place for the foreigner in their "Top Ten". That's might.

However, in 1960, a 28-year-old son of retired Dayton Chaminade coach, Gerald "Fuzzy" Faust, began to nurture his own legend at the new Moeller High School in suburban Montgomery. As one of Brother Lawrence Eveslage's first employees, Gerry Faust, Jr. was given a simple task: Develop a strong athletic program to complement the Moeller curriculum.

"Brother Eveslage and my father were old friends," the younger Faust recalls 16 years later. "When this opening came up, Dad recommended me. I was excited by the challenge of starting my own program."

As things turned out, Brother Eveslage and Moeller High School, not to mention the city of Cincinnati or the state of Ohio, reaped huge dividends from their initial investment in Faust His 16-year record reads like a litany from Horatio Alger's personal prayerbook: • Went undefeated in his third year of varsity competition.

• Won eight Greater Cincinnati championships in 14 years .

• Coached four undefeated seasons. continued

principal'sde e IN 2010 WE WILL celebrate 50 years as a Catholic school in the Marianist tradition. As we move toward this golden anniversary, our commitment is to strengthen our vision of a "quality, integral education" - the core of a Moeller education. We know this holistic approach - educating the mind, body, heart, and spirit - will serve our students well into the future.

LEADING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION: Specifically, we are committed to further integrating technology as a tool to increase student achievement. Using laptop computers, our faculty continues to find additional opportunities to increase their students' critical thinking skills, improve data analysis, and refine problem solving. (You can learn more about our technology program on page 18, "Teaching in a Digital World:') HOUSE SYSTEM EVOLUTION: Our commitment to the House System has enabled it to evolve and become imbedded into our culture of Family Spirit, so prevalent at Moeller. The House System has increased student leadership opportunities, particularly for our upper classmen, helping to bolster our mission of educating young men to become tomorrow's leaders. It has also increased our ability to provide pastoral care to every student.

ENHANCEDCURRICULUM: THE NEW THREE R'S: AMarianist education teaches for "adaptation and change;' so we are committed to employing best practices that complement the old "three R's" of reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic, while advancing the new "three R's" of rigor, relevance and relationships. Certainly, the old "three R's" are still necessary, and we will continue to build these basic skills. However, the current emphasis on "rigor, relevance, and relationships" will ensure students are better prepared to meet the needs of our ever-changing world. Our focus on "rigor" and "relevance" means the curriculum will be both challenging and applicable to today's world. Academically, we have added course and graduation requirements, begiMing with the Class of 2011, which will further challenge students to develop their God-given abilities. A Marianist education also teaches in the Family Spirit, making "relationships" an important focus. The new buzz word in the world of work is "emotional intelligence" or EO. Research shows that learning to work well with others will be a key component in their lives, so we proactively develop meaningful relationships among students, faculty, and staff.

UVING FAITH: Ultimately, we are committed to educating young men to be faithful, hopeful, and passionate about making our world a more peaceful and loving place. Our Men of Moeller will help ensure that the world becomes a more perfect place as they live out their faith in Christ. It is a crusade worthy of our motto professed by the founder of the Society of Mary, Blessed William Joseph Chaminade: "Nova Bella Elegit Dominus:' The Lord has chosen new wars.

e LOOKING FOR YOUR 'GOLDEN' MEMORIES! Did you know that Moeller won "Most Popular School in Cincinnati" its very first year of operation? It's true. Just ask Athletic Director and Class of '64 alum Barry Borman. In 1960 a radio station (WSAI) held a contest encouraging students to nominate their favorite high school. "Of course we were all freshmen~' recalls Borman, "but Brother Keys ran a campaign anyway to fill out the postcards and mail them in.

Moeller won the contest! No one had ever heard of us before then.

We began our winning tradition that very first yeaf.'

That same year Moeller held its own contest, offering a $10 bookstore gift certificate for the student who could come up with a school nickname. Two students, Ed Finke and Dennis Cronin, won the prize for their award-winning choice: Crusaders.

Barry also recalls that tuition was $90.

Physical education class was planting bushes. The library was empty (so students went door to door requesting donations). Lunch was on the third floor hallway. And sock hops were held after basketball games in the gym (now the auditorium). Such great memories!

Soon Moeller will be creating another memory - it's 50th anniversary! In preparation for that golden moment, we want to Barry Borman ' 64 preserve some of the priceless stories we know you have tucked away. Please send me your favorite "golden" moment (JKremer@Moeller.org or mail to 9001 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, OH 45242, ATTN. Johanna Kremer/Moeller Memories). We plan to feature these in future issues, paving the way for a major Moeller milestone. !look forward to hearing from you!

ous two-million-do llar record earned in 2004. In the past 13 years, Moeller art students have been offered more than $12.4 million dollars by the most prestigious art institutes in the country, showing why Moeller's art program is nationally admired.

"I am consistently impressed with Moeller's art program ," says Marsha Lynn, assistant director of undergraduate admission at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MCIA). " It is rare to find a collegeprep environment that not only sees the value but has made a significant commitment to the arts ...

Together this is a recipe for a very successful artist or students to display their work. designer and no doubt the reason these students are winning top scholarships to extremely competitive programs, such as MICA." This caps off a stellar year for these seniors, for last fall they began by winning the Montgomery Kiwanis Sidewalk Art Show, marking the sixth consecutive time that Moeller students have won the show's grand prize and blue ribbons.

Two juniors, Nick Faust and Patrick McDonough, followed this success by unveiling their original works of art at the Weston Art Gallery of the Aronoff Center. They were involved in the "Art Shapes Us" Teen Arts Multimedia Collage Project.

A few months later, the Cincinnati Art Academy selected 16 Moeller senior art students to display their works at the Academy's Convergys Gallery. The exhibition was part of the "Art Academy Selects," an innovative new exhibition series showcasing artworks by area high schoo l students and serving as a gateway opportunity for young artists and their mentors to expand their circles of influence. Through this exhibition series, high school students who have demonstrated serious comm itment to honing their craft have the opportunity to exhibit professionally and develop new perspectives on the world of visual arts. Gregory Stanforth, Chair of Moeller's Art/Photography Department, curated the exhibition. The Moeller students displayed various pieces ranging from penci l, charcoal , and pen drawings to acrylic and oil paintings to bl ack and white and color photographs.

UNIFAT: Currently, t here are more than 1,500 students enrolled at UN IFAT, serving PreK-6th grade. Since there are no publ ic schools in Uganda, cost is always an issue, especially for orphans. For these children, education is their only hope for the futureeducation and the school's founder, Abitimo Odongkara.

ABITIMO ODONGKARA: Abitimo singlehandedly built UN IFAT back in 1985 with 10 students under a tree, and she continues to work countless hours to keep it going. She is 73 years old. Over the past two decades, the school has experienced challenges caused by rebel activities, hunger, and an outbreak of Ebola. Despite these difficulties, the school maintains high standards of learning and has built a reputation of excellence throughout the country.

ONE UGANDA: Earlier this past year, Abitimo visited Moe ll er to participate in ONE UGANDA, a city-wide social justice weekend event sponsored by the Moeller

Obitimo after learning of the students' efforts to support the Invisible Children movement- generously flew Abitimo in for the event. The ONE UGANDA attendees heard her amazing story first hand, and she inspired them to become involved , reminding them of the power they have to make a positive change in the world. The next ONE UGANDA overnight will take place in February 2008. For further details, see www.unifiedforunifat.com. This website, which is designed and updated by a Moeller alum, Will Tardio '07, also provides information about how to sponsor a child and shows pictures of recent events, such as Invisible Children 's " Displace Me" event last spring.

DISPLACE ME: More than 100 Cincinnati students participated in Invisible Children's Displace Me event in Chicago. Led by Moeller students and teachers, the students built and slept in cardboard shanties in the heart of the city, along with 5,000 youth from around the nation. The event rai sed awareness about those li ving in IDP camps (Internally Displaced Persons) in Gulu , Uganda. "At the event, our students met a

2006)* have highlighted our students' involvement in the In visible Children movement, a grassroots effort by American youth to end the abduction and abuse of Ugandan children perpetrated by a rebel army. Few stories have generated as much interest as our students' involvement in this cause, and few social justice issues have touched the Men of Moeller like this one. The leadership they have provided is hard to overstate, for like a stone making ripples in a pond, the rings of their efforts are ever-expanding as they continue to inspire their peers throughout the city to get involved and initiate their own efforts. To date, Moeller has shown the Invisible Children: Rough Cut video to literally thousands of students and parents, and 15 area high schools are currently supporting the In visible Children movement. At Moeller, one woman, Connie Ring, a math teacher, has single-handedly rallied the students and helped them organize. She is the "wind beneath their wings "- a true Moeller Crusader. While our teachers are unsung heroes each in their own way, she's teaching our students to soar in a unique way, a perfect model of our founder Blessed William Joseph Chaminade's vision to educate for service, peace, and justice.

A Glimpse of the Gerry Faust Legacy The first Men of Moeller walked through the doors in the fall of 1960. And Gerry Faust was there, one of eight faculty members who began with 196 boys. Gerry taught algebra and coached the school 's first freshman team , recruiting much of the class to play. " Extra-curricular activities create a bond with the student and school ," he says. "Students have more appreciation of the school - love the school morewhen they're involved. When you love a school , you're go ing to do better in the classroom."

That fall the football program had an inausp icious beginning. " I remember the helmets and equipment we had then ," said Gerry. "We went to Dayton Chaminade, UD, and Xavier to get what we needed.

We used to practice in four different colors of pants.. .The weight room was in the basement of Bill Clark's house.

Rahe went to the scrap yard (Photo to right) Momentarily speechless. there were too many people to thank by name as Gerry accepted Moeller's (gifts). Most importantly, though , he wanted to share this moment with his famil y, and he added a special thanks to his wife, Marlene, who raised his children and helped to make it all possible. Most of his family were able to celebrate this moment.

However Steve, Patricia, and Alex were unavaliable due to the birth of their daughter Emile.

and picked up manhole covers, and we made barbells out of soup cans, concrete, and sticks.

We did everything. And we worked hard ."

"At Moeller, Gerry's idea of high school football was taking on champions from New York to Dallas, from Pittsburgh to Detroit -and thumping all of them,"

Hard work. That was the foundation of Moeller football from the very beginning. " (The coaches) were pretty relentless, and (the players) worked hard ," said Gerry. " None of them quit. There weren't a lot of big kids- just dedicated, tough ki ds." The hard work paid off, and the first Crusaders ended their season 9-1.

Thi s success set the tone for the next 21 years as Gerry led his

said Denny Dressman in his book Gerry Faust: Notre Dame 's Man in Motion (1981). " It was outdrawing the Cincinnati Reds head to head on Friday night, and it was being invited to play a game

4 mythical national titles, 5 championsh ips, 174 victories, 17 defeats, and 2 ties. But

in Japan. It was 15 minutes on CBS and an hour on " Donahue," a page in Tim e, a piece in The Wall Street Journal, and feature stories in newspapers from coast to coast. It was 18

18 varsity seasons, it was 22 high school All-Americans and almost 300 scholarships." In little more than two decades, Gerry's vision had catapulted the young school to national fame.

But the truth about Moeller football - and Gerry's legacy exists more in the relationships he cultivated along the way. As Dressman says," Moeller football under Gerry Faust was more than superstars and All-Americans.

It was more than undefeated seasons and state and national ch ampionships. It was a community where teenage boys were taught discipline and responsibility, where total dedication was demanded, and effort rewarded with respect and consideration, if not always personal stardom . The Men of Moeller included Jack the manager-trainer, Wayne the courageous, Greg the determined, Tugboat the stubborn , Rick the faithful , and hundreds of others, many of whom did not play, did not start, or did not star. The Men of Moeller in some cases were blessed with special athletic talents and had to learn to live with fame at a young age . .. but mostly they were average kids. The Men of Moeller worked hard, loved each other... " And Gerry loved them. And that will be the ultimate legacy of Gerry Faust.ÂŽ

MOELLER â&#x20AC;˘ 9

by Barry Borman, Athletic Director

Our coaches are the finest educators, teaching our young men the importance of personal discipline, persistence, teamwork, hard work, and more. They are the leaders of our future leaders.

And their success is measured not only in the tangible results on scoreboards but also by the lifelong connections they make and th e lessons they teach along the way. The Moeller Family another hallmark of a Moeller education -doesn't happen by accident. It happens by design. It happens because our coaches teach the young men to work interdependently toward common goals. It happens because they work to bring out the best in our athletes, enab ling them to manifest that excellence on the field, on the mat, or on the court.

Moe ller's athletic programs have learned how to build a winning culture by teaching that winning isn't the most important thing. The most important thing is doing the right things- and the hard things- along the way. It's teaching students to believe in themse lves because that confidence has been earned

and tested. It's about teaching the true meaning- and magic - of teamwork and having them feel the synergy that comes from se lflessness. It's about coaching them in the classroom of life and ensuring they internalize lessons that will last a lifetime.

Ultimately, that's th e Moeller Ath letic Tradition.

Over the past 47 years, Moeller has earned its reputation for excellence, and we've had two legendary teacher-coaches lead ing the way. With Coach Faust, we first began our rise to national fame in the '70s in football. In 11972, Coach Cameron 's baseball program gave Moeller its first team state championship. Over th e next 15 years , up to about 1990, this tradition continued to grow, not only in football , but in other ath letic programs as we ll.

We began earning national repu-

tations in wrestling, baseball , and basketball. Again , not by accident. But by design. We've been fortunate to employ coaches that continue Moeller's Athletic Tradition and carry the torch of excellence initiated by its founding leaders.

In the next two decades, as we continued to provide our students with a " quality, integral education ," Moel ler's reputation grew to include the school's academic and spiritual programs as well. In 2002 we became one of the first schools in the country to institute a laptop computer program for the entire school.

That same year IBM recognized Moeller as one of the model schools in the nation in impl ementing computer education.

During that same time, we were recogn ized by the Society of Mary's evaluation team as "one of the finest examples of

Catholic education in the nation."

In August 2007, Cincinnati Magazine rated Moe ller # 13 among Greater Cincinnati schools, but we were th e # 1 comprehensive Catholic school in the Archdiocese, a critical distinction, since our mission is to reach students at a variety of academic levels, not just those who score in the top percentile.

With our holistic approach, year after year 98% of our students attend college prepared to face more than just academic challenges.

As we near our 50th Anniversary, we are proud to extol the virtues of our rich Athletic Tradition, and we laud the leadership our coacheslike Gerry Faust and Mike Cameron- have provided along the way. But we are equally proud to extol the virtu es of our school's Marianist vision of education. Moeller's Athletic Trad ition merely is a met aphor fo r the school's overall vision of excellence. ÂŽ

With the start of the Gerry faust Athletic Complex, the Through These Doors Campaign has mel one of its Campus Master Plan goals: renovating the upper fields with two field turf practice and competition surfaces, a training track, and limited seating.

But more needs to be accompl ished to keep Moeller at the forefront of academic, spiritual , and athletic excellence.

By 2010, we want to accomplish these goals:

Academics • Remodel the 2nd and 3rd floor classrooms of the main building • Renovate the old gymnasium into a theater and modular seat auditorium • Expand the Activities Center to provide more space for music and chorus

Endowment • Increase the Endowment fund by two million dollars, providing the opportunity for more young men to walk "Through Th ese Doors"

Athletics • Renovate the interior of the Activities Center with new lighting and a new multipurpose floor • Expand the O 'Connor Center to include a new football locker room Our Through These Doors Capital Campaign is crucial to accomplishing these goa ls. That's why your pledge - right nowis vital. for more information on how to make a gift and ensure the campaign 's success and to see the progress of the project, visit www.Moeller.org/supportmoeller or call Chris Albrecht, Director of Development, at 513-79 1-1680, ext.1 31 0.

T R THESE DO RS CAPITAL CAMPAIGN INVESTORS Through October 15, 2007 As we approach 2010 and our 50th Anniversary as a Catholic School in the Marianist Tradition. it is critical that we have a campus with facilities that encourage and enhance the total educational experience of our young men. Components of the campaign include renovating the back fields with two "field turf" surfaced football/lacrosse and soccer fields and training track, updating the 2nd & 3rd floors of the main classroom building, converting the "old gym" into a first class theater and auditorium, and remodeling the Activities Center.

An Opportunity for Past Parents & Grandparents ...

Only a few months remain for donors over age 70 %to make charitable gifts through their IRAs. A 2006 law allows people age 70% and older to instruct IRA trustees to make transfers to organizations they support without incurring taxable income on those amounts. Up to $100,000 can be given, but only through the end of 2007.

How it Works

By December 31,2007, you can make a gift of up to $100,000 by transferring IRA assets to Moeller High School. You must be 70% years old. If married, each spouse can transfer up to $100,000 from his or her IRA. Your gift can be unrestricted to Moeller or it can be designated for the Through These Doors Capital Campaign, tuition assistance, endowment, or any area of interest to you and your family.

More Benefits We can make your charitable IRA transfer easy, flexible, and effective, helping you achieve your personal charitable and financial goals. We are happy to answer your questions and complete all paperwork, or, if you prefer, we can consult with your financial advisor to recommend a solution that is right for you and your family. The transaction incurs no federal income tax, and the asset is no longer part of your estate for tax purposes.

Larger estates face confiscatory tax rates of up to 75% of IRA funds that are left to a departed family member (other than a spouse). Any amounts left in an IRA when an individual dies may be taxed as income to the beneficiary and are also considered assets for the purpose of calculating that person's estate tax liability. When you give your IRA to Moeller or any charity, your heirs are not burdened by the taxes associated with receiving your IRA upon your death. Instead, you can leave them other assets that have a more favorable tax treatment.

Perhaps one of the most attractive benefits of making such a charitable gift to Moeller is the opportunity to see the results- in improved facilities, with students who have benefited from your generosity through tuition assistance or a scholarship or in support of a specific co-curricular program, etc. - in your lifetime.

adventure occurred when backers provided extra booty for Moeller's "Fund-A-Need" campaign. This year's need involved replacing vintage desks (circa 1960). "The old desks were much too small for our students," said Geiger. More t han $38,000 was raised for the desk campaign , and now new desks fill the classrooms, along with engraved blue granite plaques identifying the generous donors.

Captain Geiger will be donning a new hat for Main Event 2008: a derby. The theme, "An Evening at t he Races, A Derby Gala," is already

off and running. This year an additional attraction - Preview Night (with bidding allowed!)- will be flowing with mint juleps. Mark your calendars now, for the Preview " Infield Party" on Friday, April18, from 7-9 PM, with the Main Event on Saturday, April19, from 4:30-11 PM. Advance reservations are available online at www.Moeller.org. "All bets are off if you're late to the gate," warns Geiger. "You won 't want to miss out, because the Main Event has sold out the last two years- a month before the event! "®

The Honorary Chairs for Main Event 2008 are Barbara & Carl Reisen. The them e for this year's Main event is "An Evening at the Races, A Derby Gala. " The Reisens are planning a " photo finish" to break more cecords in attendance and net profits," said Geiger.

crusaderco n ctio "MOELLER HIGH SCHOOL, as an intangible idea, had its beginnings back in the fall of 1958 when Monsignor Edward A. McCarthy and Bro. Paul Sibbing, SM, were appointed to supervise the planning and construction of the building. Through their efforts our new school, destined to serve 15 parishes in the northeastern part of the city, began to rise on an eleven acre site just 15 miles from the center of Cincinnati. The building stands now, the sum of all its parts: parts which grew on the architect's drawing board, parts which grew with the turn of earth before the bulldozer's blade, parts which grew with the sweep of the plasterer's trowel, parts which grew from the carpenter's hammer, and most important, before those could exist, parts which grew from the hearts of the people of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati upon which to build this monument to Catholic education~' The quote above was taken from the Dedication of Moeller High School, May 7, 1961, and rings as true today. On September 7, 2007, we honored a man who was there at the beginning, a man who had a vision for making Moeller the best high school in the country. Over 21 years, Gerry Faust epitomized the ideals of the school and the Marianist philosophy, and continues to be our biggest and best ambassador.

In the same Dedication, Bro. Larry Eveslage, Moeller's first principal said, "Particularly are we grateful to the parents of our first students who have uncomplainingly shouldered the burden of making the school more complete in its material resources. Also, we wish to pay tribute to our first students, those pioneer Crusaders, who have shown respect and care for this great gift. .. May future generations of Crusaders continue to show their appreciation for the sacrifice of their forebearers by following the example of the first students of Moeller.'

As we look forward to 2010 and our 50th anniversary as a school, we must remind ourselves of Bro. Larry's words and follow the example of the first members of the Moeller Family. Our alumni who have been benefactors of this great gift, along with the parents of today's students, are being asked to make the school "more complete in material resources:' This generation of Crusaders is being asked to "show their appreciation for the sacrifice of their forbearers" (and their bearers.. .Parents, don't let them forget it~ by leaving Moeller a better place for the young men coming up behind them.

Congratulations to Gerry on a well-deserved and fitting honor. To learn more on how you can invest in Moeller and pay tribute to not only Gerry, but all of those original Crusaders, turn to page 15.

crusaderconnection Two Seniors Lose Lives Tragically

Jordan Bessey

Andy Carter

THIS PAST SUMMER was a tough one for our school as we lost two members of our upcoming senior class. The tragic deaths of Jordan Bessey (car accident) and Andy Carter (fatal shooting) occurred just two weeks apart. The tragedies brought out the best in the Moeller Family as we rallied around each other for consolation and to somehow make sense of what had happened.

Walter Bessey, Jordan's dad, is one of the "Founding Fathers" of the Moeller Men's Club. Just like his son, "Wals" has brought intensity and enthusiasm to our organization, and he has always been about making the Moeller experience a memorable one.

The Men's Club felt it fitting to honor Jordan's memory and has established the "Buckle Up For Bessey" program to encourage seat-belt use. We had key chains with the "Buckle Up For Bessey" slogan and Jordan's football jersey number 33 inscribed. Each student, freshman through senior, will receive a key chain, hopefully reminding them every time they get into a car to "buckle up for BesseY.' Traffic signs with the logo will be placed at each exit from Moeller as well.

It is our plan to offer this program to other schools in an effort to increase youth seat-belt awareness. Jordan, in his short time at Moeller, made a big impression on his friends and teammates, and if we can save even one life by getting someone to "buckle up for BesseY,' his impression will be even greater.

Alumns Honored for Contributing to Growth of Moeller FOUR MEN WHO have made significant contributions to the growth of Moeller High School and who exemplify the Moeller Spirit were recently honored at the annual Alumni Awards & Principal's Dinner.

Spearheaded last year by Joe Hodge, Brian Schuerman, Kevin Gilles, Joe Faessler, Chris Shimala, Terry Dickey, and Mark Lyon, the Class of '88 Scholarship is awarded to a sophomore with demonstrated financial need who is involved in co-curricular activities. The scholarship is renewable and will follow the recipient for his fina l three years.

According to Hodge, "We wanted to help a young man who was involved at Moeller and is making it a better place. Awarding it to a sophomore allows us to see his track record as a freshman and what activities he was involved in. It is our goal to stay in communication with

those who receive the scholarship even after they graduate and help mentor them as they start a career, family, etc. The real hope is that, when they are able, they'll give back to Moeller and help another young man as he has been helped:' The golf outing was a way to initially generate funds for the scholarship and provide a little camaraderie for the Class of '88. Over the past two years, they've raised approximately $15,000, and the first recipient is Brian Thiery '10.

The idea for a classsponsored scholarship is catching on, with the Class of '77 establishing one this year as well. For more information on how your class can start a scholarship fund, contact Chris Albrecht at CAlbrecht@Moeller.org.

Alums Return for Weekend Celebration

Toast keyboardist Rick Hagee '69 reconn ects with former Moeller band member Ron Wernke '77.

22 â&#x20AC;˘ FALL/ WI NTER 2007

BIG MOE ALUMNI came back for Alumni Reunion Weekend on September 7 & 8 to not only celebrate the anniversaries of the graduating Classes of '67, '72, '77, '82, '87, '92, '97, and 2002 but to see all of the great things happening back at their alma mater.

All alums were invited to attend the festivities on Friday, which included a golf outing at Crooked Tree followed by the Alumni Happy Hour and BBO. The cafeteria patio served as a gathering place for alums and their spouses to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and to party to the sounds of the band Toast (which is . made up of several Moeller grads, most of whom were in the original Bluestone Ivory). The evening was highlighted by the announcement that the back fields would be named "The Gerry Faust Athletic Complex:' Saturday afternoon was reserved for alums back for their reunion and began with a prayer service dedicated to the deceased members of the Moeller Family. A group from the Men's Chorus Jed those in ¡ attendance in singing the Moeller anthem. A tailgate party in the front parking lot followed with everyone boarding busses to U.Cs Nippert Stadium, where they were treated to a hard-fought Crusader victory over the Warriors from Detroit Brother Rice.

Look forward to more information concerning the 2008 Moeller Alumni Reunion Weekend.

Keith McCluskey is Back in Town AFTER FIVE YEARS, Keith McCluskey '78 is back in town . You may be asking, " What do you mean he's back? I see him on McCluskey Chevrolet commercials all the time! " Most peop le in Cincinnati don't know that Keith and his family (wife Kim , sons K.C., Cameron , & Jake, and daughter Sabrina) moved to Detroit in 2001 when he became president of Southfield, Michigan-based Credit Accept ance.

McCluskey Chevrolet has been the top-volume Credit Acceptance dealer in the country since joining their finance program in 1989. McCluskey continued to strengthen his retail automobile business in Cincinnati while working to help Credit Acceptance expand their finance program nationwide. In 2002, McCluskey opened the first Mission Automotive location on Beechmont Avenue and will be opening a fifth store this year. Mission Automotive only sells and services pre-owned vehicles. Credit Acceptance's guaranteed credit approval program has been highly successful.

Last fal l the McCluskey's moved their family back to Cincinnati so their oldest son, K.C. , could attend the Big Moe as a sophomore and Keith could go back to focusing 100% of his business life on expanding the retail business through Mission Automotive and McCluskey Chevrolet. He said , " We knew we wou ld come back to Cincinnati at

some point, and the timing was right. Even though K.C. attended a Jesuit high school in Detroit for his freshman year, there was no decision to make on our end- or K.C.'s end- he had always wanted to be a Crusader. We could not be happier to be back and a part of the Moeller Family."

Kim McCluskey adds, "We moved to Hyde Park and are proud to tell our neighbors that 'No, that'? not a Michigan flag we're flying, it's a MOELLER flag!' " With midd le son Cameron now a freshman and youngest son Jake entering in 2009, we can count on the McCluskey's being around for quite some time.

Mike Cameron Retir ON APRIL 30, 2007, at Blue Ash's Crosley Field, history was made: Coach Mike Cameron became the "All-time Winningest" Division 1 baseball coach in Ohio history with 761 wins. Now, at the top of his game and after 40 years of service to the Moeller Baseball Program, Coach Cameron announced his retirement at the end of the 2007 baseball season.

Enquirer sports writer Tom Groeschen said Cameron held the "unchallenged status as 'The Man' among Cincinnati prep baseball coaches:' Under Mike's leadership, Moeller's program became one of the premier baseball dynasties in the state. His teams made it to the state finals five times, four times capturing the Ohio Division I State Championship ('72, '89, '93, & '04). More than 100 of his athletes played at the collegiate level, and 25 of his former players signed professional contracts, with nine playing in the major leagues: Buddy Bell, Len Matuszek, Bill Long, Barry Larkin, Ken Griffey Jr., David Bell, Stephen Larkin, Mike Bell, and Adam Hyzdu. During his tenure, Coach Cameron earned numerous coach-of-theyear honors, including the 2007 Ohio Division 1 Coach of the Year, GCL Coach of the Year (15 times), Cincinnati Coach of the Year (7 times), and the National Federation of High School Coaches Coach of the Year. His success led to his induction into several Hall of Fames: Moeller High School (1991), the Ohio Baseball Coaches Association (1993), Purcell High School (2001), and LaRosa's Hall of Fame (2001).
