feedback received regarding our first electronic newsletter and I hope you will spread
the word to your friends about the Foundation, its website and e-NEWS. As
with any rollout, there were a few glitches for which we apologize. Thanks
especially to all you Mac users for your patience; we’re working to
correct the transmission problem. ACADEMICS This year-end event is held in
conjunction with Senior Awards to honor the outstanding achievements of
the graduating class of 2002. Seventy-six of Central’s most accomplished
students were recognized for winning 46 scholarships or awards. For a
roster of recipients, go to www.hchsfoundation.org/senior_reception.htm Oak Brook Hills Resort The Jodie helps the Foundation
fund an annual grant in support of professional development for a Central
teacher. Golfers dodged a few raindrops but nothing serious. The all-day
affair included lunch, 18 holes of golf in a relaxed scramble format,
cocktails and dinner, awards and prizes, and loads of fun for a very good
cause. For more information and to place your name on the invitation list
for next year’s outing, go to www.hchsfoundation.org/golf_outing.htm.
For a roster of past grant
recipients, go to www.hchsfoundation.org/grants.htm. This program recognizes individuals who

program, go to www.hchsfoundation.org/hall_of_fame.htm ODDS & ENDS 1998 Hinsdale Central Hall of Fame
inductee Brian Torff directs the Fairfield University Jazz Ensemble. In
April, his musicians were joined in concert by alto saxophonist Fred
Lipsius of the superb jazz-rock band from the 60s and 70s—Blood, Sweat
and Tears. Torff’s commentary on the work of BS&T: “Anybody who
thinks this is a dated sound should go back to the albums and listen
again. The musical depth and sophistication of this work still stands as a
shining moment in popular music.” The Class of 57 has been industriously
compiling forgotten facts about our school and its attendance areas. Here
is one of their memory teasers. Answer will appear in the next edition of
the Foundation’s e-NEWS. If you have a stumper you’d like to share,
send it to [email protected].
Remember to include the question and answer plus your name and class. Answers to questions from Winter 2002: •What was the nickname given to the policeman who used to patrol downtown Hinsdale? Shadow •You used to be able to bowl
right in the Village. Do you remember where? Downtstairs
of the news agency on Hinsdale Avenue. The alley had 8 lanes but NO
automatic pin setters. Whether you remember Central as HTHS or
HCHS, we need you. An effort is underway to obtain school memorabilia for
display in the Alumni Room. Donations are most welcome and will be
credited in your name while on display. Or loan your memorabilia if you
can’t part with it forever. Contact Charla Russell, District 86 director
of community relations, at (630) 887-1340, ext 445 or send an e-mail to
[email protected].
There are lots of reasons to support Boosters Club, but the best might be that this is the only place to get Central “spirit attire”—shirts, pants, caps, jackets, cushions, warmups, socks, accessories of all kinds. For that special gift or something just for you, go to www.theboosters.com. Or if you live near Central, consider one of their new Ruby memberships for $100. Get a family pass to athletic events plus a waterproof, windproof game blanket. LINKS TO THE HINSDALE CENTRAL AREA Whether you still live near school or
have moved far away, we’ve put together some links that can keep you up
to date on your old stomping grounds. E-mail us with additional
suggestions. Find the links by going to www.hchsfoundation.org/links.htm Hinsdale Central High School seems to
get better every year, and we want to keep it that way. Your help is
important. Contributions to the Foundation’s fundraising efforts and The
Endowment help create an educational environment that is great, not just
good. Please give what you can. Thanks. |
