True Blue Newsletter of Columbus / Columbus North High School Alumni Association

Message From Our President

Dear Bull Dog Nation,

The Bull Dog Alumni Association, along with

dedicated alumni, faculty and staff, and current

students worked hard to make the 150-year milestone

a memorable experience in many ways as we

celebrated the rich tradition of Columbus High

School/Columbus North High School. It was truly a

remarkable effort and one with multi-generational

participation: from members of the Columbus High

School class of 1944 to the Columbus North High

School 2019 student leaders. I wish to thank everyone

who helped make this celebration a huge success! I

especially wish to thank Hedy George, our executive

director, for her Bull Dog persistence in leading the

150th celebration efforts. She received a well-deserved

standing ovation at the May gala event.

The Four Freshmen Concert kicked off our 150th

celebration. I thank Larry Ruble for this great idea and

Janie Losure Gordon for running the show! Another

special highlight included the establishment of the

Veteran’s Memorial Wall inside Columbus North

High School in November 2018. Another significant

commemoration spearheaded by co-chairs Tami Iorio

and Janice Montgomery was the writing of a book

entitled The Story of CNHS: 150 Years, which

provided a comprehensive look at the history of our

beloved school. Special thanks go to co-authors Larry

Ruble, Terry Trautman, Kim Stover, and Julia Iorio;

editors Bud Herron, Shirley Lyster, and Pat McKee;

and book layout designer Roth Lovins. These

individuals contributed greatly to this effort. If you do

not already have a copy of the book, you will want

one!

The capstone event held at Mill Race Center on May

11, 2019 reflected all the best of the Columbus North

High School. The evening festivities included a video

produced by current students with interviews of

alumni throughout the generations, a performance of

the current and alumni members of the Debuteens and

Music Men show choirs directed by one of our Bull

Dog alumni board members, Janie Losure Gordon, and

the surprise appearance of Bartholomew Consolidated

School Corporation Superintendent, Dr. Jim Roberts,

in his cameo role as Elvis the King. The singing of the

Columbus High School/Columbus North High School

alma mater and school song provided a splendid finish

for the evening.

The yearlong 150th anniversary celebration, which

represented the true essence of the Bull Dog spirit, was

not made possible without the help of many. I am

sincerely thankful for all those who contributed their

time and talents to make this celebration a fantastic

success.

With the past 150 years behind us, your Bull Dog

Alumni Association is dedicated to ensuring the future

of Columbus North High School will be as bright as

its past.

Yours in Bull Dog Service,

Pete

Pete King (’72), President

School is Back in Session!

The 2019-2020 School Year is going strong at CNHS!

Let’s all be careful when driving in that 25th/27th –

Maple/Home area.

There are just over 2,000 students at CNHS this

academic year. At last count, there were between 35

and 40 languages spoken by this year’s students.

You can stay abreast of what’s happening at CNHS at:

http://www.bcsc.k12.in.us/Page/1324

One date to note right now is Homecoming on

September 20. Always a great night to be a Bull Dog!

Mark those calendars and plan to be at Max Andress

Field in time for the 7:00 kick-off for an evening of

gridiron action, additional festivities, and catching-up

with other Bull Dogs!

Come out early, get a good parking space, and check

out the Bull Dog Alumni Brick Plaza before the game.

The Brick Plaza (which now contains over 500

engraved bricks) is located just north of the school’s

main entrance and just southwest of the football field.

Get your homecoming memories started early!!

Go Dogs!!

The Story of CHS / CNHS:

150 Years

If you don’t already have your copy of our history

book, there are still some copies from our first

printing remaining.

The multi-authored, collaborative effort by several

alumni and former BCSC staff to create the first

printed history book of our school was an exciting

adventure. The result became the first published

history of the school; and we hope to use the

momentum to build on collective, documented history,

as well as to inspire current and future Bull Dogs to

carry on the legacy!

You can pick them up at Viewpoint Books on

Washington Street or the Columbus North bookstore.

For those of you not local to the Columbus area, online

purchases can be made from our website (under the

SUPPORT tab) at:

NASCAR Hall of Fame

Welcomes a Bull Dog

On May 22, NASCAR announced the inductees who

will comprise the NASCAR Hall of Fame Class of

2020. The five-person group includes Columbus’

own Tony Stewart (CNHS ’89) along with Buddy

Baker, Joe Gibbs, Bobby Labonte, and Waddell

Wilson. The distinguished group will be honored

during the NASCAR Hall of Fame Induction

Ceremony on Jan. 31, 2020, in Charlotte, NC.

Tony is a three-time NASCAR series champion (and,

here’s a bit of trivia for you --- the only driver ever to

win the Winston Cup, the Nextel Cup, and the Sprint

Cup!). Maybe you can win a cup of coffee over

breakfast someday with that morsel of information!

Tony was the top vote-getter among this class of

inductees!

Congratulations, Smoke!!

Once a Bull Dog,

Always a Bull Dog!

150th Anniversary Gala

The Gala Reunion that marked the “official” end of

our 150th Anniversary Celebration was great fun for

lots of folks. We had the Mill Race Center filled to (a

little past!) capacity for a wonderful evening of fun,

fellowship and (Bull Dog) family that included Bull

Dogs dating back to classes in the 1940s and including

current students!

One of the highlights was a little song-session led by

current (May 2019) Debuteen group and Debuteen

alumni. Catch a couple tunes in the video below:

You can follow the link below to access 130+ images

in a Facebook album from the gala’s evening:

Gala Picture Album

(Special thanks to Amber Gilley for all the photos!!)

What a legacy we all share!! We doubt that any of us

will be around to celebrate the next 150 years(!), but

what we each do today and tomorrow will strengthen

the foundation upon which all the current and future

Bull Dogs will shape OUR shared legacy!

Bill Stultz Receives Rotary Award

Retired CNHS Bands Director Bill Stultz recently

received The Alice Curry “Music Makes Your Life”

Award.

Retired and Still Making a Difference

The award is presented annually by the Columbus

Rotary Club in recognition of a citizen or organization

who has made significant contributions to the quality

of life in our community by bringing, encouraging,

and sustaining music in our Columbus community.

As Executive Director of the Columbus Indiana

Philharmonic (CIP), active Rotarian, and community

leader, Alice Curry epitomized these qualities.

Each year the local Rotary Club makes a cash donation

to the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic in the name of

the award winner.

Thanks to the Columbus Rotarians and to Mr. Stultz

for being a part of enabling the Philharmonic’s

continued gift of music to our community!

Annual Campaign Coming

The 2019 Annual Campaign drive is just around the

corner. Our annual drive is the financial cornerstone

of our Alumni Association.

Please look expectantly for a message from one of

your fellow alumni. Consider the Alumni Association

in your annual charity strategy. The more we’re

around the staff and students at CNHS, the more

excited we become to equip them and enable them for

the great futures they have ahead of them. This writer

has been involved with the Alumni Association for six

years now; and those years have been incredibly

fulfilling, in part due to association with so many

awesome Bull Dogs.

Hopefully, many of you have seen the photo below in

a recent news article already, but please enjoy (photo

courtesy of The Republic). The stone adorned

Columbus’ first public school building in 1859. It’s

now part of the Central Middle School complex, not

far from the site of that first building.

The engraved stone pretty much says it all. The

times have changed, but not the mission has not.

Please join us on that mission!!

Thank You to our Recent Donors!

Thanks to each of you, the Bull Dog Alumni

Association and our Special Funds and Endowments

are making a big difference for Columbus North

Students, Faculty, and all Bull Dog Alumni.

In 2018, we provided over $20,000 to CNHS students

and departments for scholarships and student and

faculty support projects – and we are on track to grant

a similar amount in 2019. Besides scholarships for

new Bull Dog alums to use for post-graduate

education, grants were made for a wide range of

academic and extracurricular projects that helped

current students and faculty excel.

In addition, in 2018 and 2019, we celebrated the 150th

anniversary of Columbus/Columbus North High

School with a series of special events and projects

culminating in the May 11th 150th Anniversary Gala

Reunion and the publication of The Story of CNHS,

150 Years – the 160-page hardcover history of the

school.

Over 300 generous individuals, families, and

organizations made these 2018 and 2019 projects

possible by donating during 2017, 2018 or 2019.

Thank you, Donors!

Many donors made their donations to the Bull Dog

Alumni Association general fund, to be used in the

area of greatest need. Other donors directed their

contributions to specific projects like the John Johnson

Studio Production Scholarship or the publication of

our School History book. Many others donated to one

of our Special Funds or Endowments. These

donations are invested so that scholarships and grants

may be made from the funds for many years to come:

• Marian Callon Endowment

• John Carmichael “True Blue” Endowment

• Michael Garber Memorial Fund

• John Hinds Tradition of Excellence Fund

• Shirley Lyster Endowment for Excellence in

English Education

• Andy Russell Endowment for the Performing

Arts

The Donor Honor Roll on the following pages

attempts to recognize all our generous donors during

the 2017-to-early-2019 period. We have tried very

hard to:

• Include all donors

• Spell names correctly

• Provide correct CHS/CNHS graduating class

data

• Honor the wishes of those donors who choose

to remain anonymous

We apologize for any mistakes or omissions. Please

email us at cnhsalumni@bcsc.k12.in.us with any

corrections or additions.

History Interviews

One exciting activity that occurred as part of our 150th

Anniversary activities was a project undertaken by the

CNHS Media Department to interview alumni from

several different (eight!) decades.

They were able to schedule, interview, and archive

interviews with over thirty alumni. Graduating classes

represented ranged from:

1944 --- 2015

They have archived these video interviews on

YOUTUBE and made their library available for us to

share with you.

New Website

In July, a newer version of our website was launched.

Essentially, the underlying technology supporting the

old website became obsolete and unsupported; so,

changes were imperative.

It looks different that the previous website.

We ask that you please check it out and let us know

what you think.

It is located at the same address as the former:

https://www.columbusnorthalumni.org/

Gone are some of the intermediate web pages which

have been replace by “drop-down” options from the

main menu bar.

So, please explore; and let us know what you think

about:

• Content

• Appearance

• Ease of use

• Any confusing areas

• Suggested changes or additions

• Any errors encountered?

We really appreciate any feedback you take the time

to provide us.

You can email us your comments at:

cnhsalumni@bcsc.k12.in.us

Please put “NEW WEBSITE” in the subject line of

your message. Thanks, and happy exploring!!
