FROM THE PRINCIPAL
by Miss Beth Hill

Dear Friend of Newark Catholic High School,
How many times have we heard someone say
“simple pleasures are the best” and then wondered how someone could find
joy in such a trivial matter? We have also seen the signs reading
“Practice Random Acts of Kindness” and perhaps thought, how did I
help someone today or what did I do to make things easier for another
person? People come in and out of our lives for a purpose. Do
we think about that when they leave? During the past year we have
lost some very close friends in our community. On October we
suffered another loss of a true friend, Steve Hoar. Steve, like many
of you, volunteered countless hours to make our community a better place.
He didn’t ask for anything in return, he just wanted to make things
better. In his practice of simple acts of kindness, he truly touched
our lives and made the world a better place. God bless Steve and all
of our friends who are now gone but forever a part of our memory.
Fall marks a time of tradition and
thanksgiving for us. We celebrated our annual Homecoming with many
spirited activities. We also have raised funds for our local United
Way agency and have plans to continue to fund raise for other community
projects. During the course of the year, our students and staff will
raise over $4,500 for charity and volunteer over 10,000 hours of service.
These are just what we have recorded; there are probably many more dollars
and hours spent by our students and staff in service to our community.
We are thankful for the opportunity to give back to a community which has
so richly blessed us.
As we draw near the holidays, we remember
our good fortunes and of course, our families. Recent alumni
continue to visit during their breaks to share their stories of success
and sometimes, woe. The Dominican Sisters still keep in touch
as we keep them in our thoughts and prayers. We were even blessed
with a visit from our former principal, Sister Paulette Boll, on October 8
as she and Mrs. Margaret Matesich Gruenke spoke to our students about the
Missions, especially their work in El Salvador. How truly enriched
our lives have been by the Sisters and all of the teachers who have taught
in service to our Lord at Newark Catholic. Please keep us in your
prayers, as you will remain in ours.
May our Lady continue to bless us.
Sincerely,
Beth Hill

CAMPUS MINISTRY
By Miss Susie Gribble
The year started with Freshman Orientation.
Msgr. Enke celebrated the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary with parents and students. His message was one of welcome and
encouragement. The seniors led the activities.
The next NC school Mass will be held in the
gymnasium on All Saints Day, November 1. The Mass schedule for the year
can be found on the Newark Catholic web page (see web site below).
Please know that families are always welcome to attend the school Masses.
The retreat schedule will also be posted to the web page by the end of the
month.
COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR COMMUNITY LITURGY
By Mr. Rick LaBrake
Freshmen students at NC have the formidable task of setting
up the gym for Mass on days that the celebrations are scheduled at the
school. Rolling out tarps, moving the altar, setting up chairs for the
upperclassmen, and gathering the books, utensils, bread and wine, and
hymnals for liturgy takes the full class period of two mods. As 30
students scurry about checking the details and making ready for the
celebration, their teacher enjoys this time with his students, working
together physically to serve God by serving our community. This is a year
long process of skill developing, only to pass on the capable freshmen to
the sophomore class and prepare to start training another corps in the
autumn.
After liturgy, that which was gathered must be returned.
Sacristans will be trained to “wash the dishes” from the Lord’s Supper and
to put things away. Chairs will be returned to the cafeteria, the tarps
will be rolled back up by another group of boys. Our freshmen will
continue their day knowing that they’ve done another good job whether
anyone inside or outside the school even realizes. That’s what service in
the Lord’s name is about – remaining humble of heart and walking with God,
and not seeking attention for the service.
Our theology course is Morality. The arena in which we
live our gift of morality is everyday humanity, and having enough positive
self esteem to let others go first as we serve them...the way Jesus does.

FOOTBALL
By Coach Bill Franks
The 2002 NC football team enters the last week of the
regular season with lots of momentum. The team has played very well down
the stretch with big wins over Steubenville Catholic Central and Columbus
Hartley. At press time, it looks as though the Green Wave is ready to
make yet another run at the state playoffs. The fans have been
outstanding this year. Thanks for your support. Let’s Go Green!
VOLLEYBALL
By Coach Jeri Ann Helfer
The Lady Wave volleyball team finished the regular season
with a record of 13-9 overall which earned them a 2nd seed in district
tournaments. They defeated Cardington in the opening round of tournament
play 15-5, 15-5. They went on to win the sectional crown with a win over
Millersport 15-3, 15-3. They will play Fisher Catholic in the district
semifinals on October 24. The Lady Wave are currently on target to reach
Academic All-Ohio with a team GPA above 3.5.
CROSS COUNTRY
By Coach Rennie Bare
The Girls cross country team had a successful
season, finishing in the top 3 a total of seven times. Strengths this year
were their ability to run as a team pack, and team unity. The individual
ladies all improved throughout the season.
The Boys cross country team got off to a slow start due to
inexperience. But through hard work they improved steadily throughout
the season. The season was capped with a 4th place
GOLF
By Coach Joe Giles
The NC golf team record was 48-80. Highlights of
the season were that two players made it to the district finals: Elliot
Calloway and Joe Schopp. Both were named honorable mention all-district.
Joe Schopp set a new 18 hole school record with a 1 under par 70 at the
Northridge Invitational. The Green Wave linksters look forward to joining
the Mid-State League next season.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUB PICNIC
By Mrs. Marcia Story

Clubs gathered for the fun, with Mrs. Schumaker, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Story
and Miss Hill. Highlights from the day were hayrides, delicious food and
even chicken chases! The students also enjoyed a surprise visit from
Sister Irene on this beautiful autumn afternoon.
SENIORS
Tanna Tucker
Fall of our senior year is a pivotal time in our lives. It
is during this time that we prepare to close one chapter in our lives and
move on to the next: college. ACT and SAT tests and college visits are
what is on everyone’s mind right now. We have all been working very hard
in sports, activities, and in our classes; and we are off to a successful
start. We have various college representatives visiting Newark Catholic.
Senior year can also be stressful – which college to choose, scholarships
to apply for, and realizing that this will virtually be our last year with
friends. Senior year is a nostalgic one and we should enjoy it, for June
will be here before we know it.
JUNIORS
Jayme Thissen
Finally we are upperclassmen. As the school year started,
we have experienced some changes. Some of our friends are now at LCJVS or
are taking classes at OSU-N and COTC. We are learning the names of the
freshmen and they are becoming our new friends. Our lives are busy with
athletics, clubs, after school activities, studying and friends. Many of
us took the PSAT on October 15. We made plans for homecoming and had a
great time at the dance. We are looking forward to the fun and exciting
year ahead of us.
SOPHOMORES
Jillian Walsh
This year’s
sophomore class is looking forward to another year of new and
exciting times. We are no longer the youngest in the school and enjoy not
being freshmen. But with that comes new responsibilities and roles of
sophomores. We have to be good models for the new freshmen and help
them. We can no longer use the excuse “I didn’t know” because we know
what is expected of us and what we need to do. But so far, this year has
been great and we are all anticipating the opportunities that lie ahead.
FRESHMEN
Daniel Wigginton
The
start of the freshman year has been pretty much as it was expected to be:
a bit overwhelming for the first few days, but really just a period of new
learning and of getting used to the schedules and homework. In theology,
we have dis-cussed morals and the issues of honesty and power. In
history, we are learning about WWI and creating projects pertaining to
certain aspects of this war, such as trench warfare. In biology, we’re
learning about population growth and its factors. Someone once said, “You
have a very long journey ahead of you. Right now would be a great time to
start, you know.” So far, this philosophy has been
followed closely by the freshmen.
