Edition #18
Cathedral High School Vision
Cathedral High School, a Catholic institution,
will be the model for all high schools
as she profoundly shapes the way students
think, serve and lead.
Dear Cathedral Parents,
Cathedral High School Mission
Cathedral, a Catholic college preparatory high school,
provides to a diverse group of students opportunities
for spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional
and physical growth through service and academic excellence.
As you know, the Cathedral Irish Football Team won the
4A State Championship on Saturday. On Monday, we had
a terrific pep rally to congratulate our football team. The
students were jubilant and took part in this pep rally in a most
appropriate manner. Mayor Greg Ballard (’72) was present, the team was honored, and Coach Streiff had his head shaved.
Also, since our tradition means that a Free Day comes with a State Championship, our free day was announced as
Monday, April 25th, which is Easter Monday. Please mark your calendars and/or Blue Books with this date.
Today, we had an Advent Reconciliation Service for all of our students. How fortunate we are to be in a Catholic
school where the Sacraments of the Church can be celebrated by our students. Visiting priests generously gave of their
time to make these times of reconciliation possible for us.
This is just a reminder that semester 1 final exams will begin on Tuesday, December 14th. The exam schedule is
included within this document.

Students are cautioned to plan their study time in advance, because sports and other activities will continue
during the Final Exam period. All students need to be aware that the semester exam will impact the semester
grade that will be listed on their transcript. The two quarter grades and the semester exam grade comprise the
semester grade. Teachers may weight that final exam grade between 10 percent and 20 percent of the
student’s semester grade. Students should check with each teacher to determine the individual classroom
policies.

All students are required to take semester exams. Any absence from a final exam must be approved by Mrs.
Ford, Vice Principal for Academic Affairs. No exams are given early, and the make-up exam date is January 3.


Learn more about your State government: Students are encouraged to serve as Statehouse
pages
Area middle and high school students are invited to make the Indiana Statehouse their "classroom for a
day" by serving as Senate pages during the 2011 Indiana General Assembly.
 Pages have the opportunity to spend a day at the Statehouse working with their senator and Senate
staff in the upcoming legislative session, which runs from Wednesday, Jan. 5 to Friday, April 29.
 Students who page learn about the legislative process through observation and participation. By
5
interacting firsthand with legislators and staff, state government is brought to life. Pages get to see lawmakers introduce
bills, debate and vote on important issues, all while meeting other students from Indiana.
 Interested students should submit page requests as soon as possible in a letter or e-mail. The student's name - as it
would appear on a certificate - address, home telephone number, age and school affiliation should be included with
requests. Friends wanting to page on the same day should send requests together. Specific date requests will be
considered, but may not be possible.
The Senate's page office will confirm the scheduled date after processing incoming requests.
To be a page this session, e-mail requests to your Senator. S/he can be found at this website: www.in.gov/legislative/

Attention, senior parents. The following e-mail message was sent on Monday to the seniors who have not had their
yearbook portrait taken:
Dear Senior,
If you are receiving this message, the Prestige Portraits photo tracker shows that you have not had your senior
portrait taken. Remember, if your picture is to appear with the rest of your class in the senior section of the
2011 yearbook, you must have a yearbook portrait taken by Prestige even if you had your other senior pictures
taken elsewhere. You now have two options:
1. Call today to make an appointment for a sitting. If you want a series of senior pictures in
addition to your yearbook shot, this is the only option, but you can also do this if all you want
is the yearbook shot. Call 829-2080 during business hours (Tues-Thurs 2p. to 7p; Friday, 2p.
to 5p.; and Saturday 10a. to 5p—though they at some point reduce their hours as the year’s
end nears).
2. The second option is available only on Thursday, Dec. 2 (this coming Thursday) and is only
for the yearbook shot. Prestige will bring a portrait camera to our campus on that day and will be located in the
Welch Center lobby from 11a.m. to 2 p.m. (roughly the lunch periods). This is a very convenient way to get your
yearbook shot. You’ll need to bring the $15 sitting fee and a dressy top to change into for the picture. Just go to the
WAC when you can, during your lunch if necessary, get dressed, hand the photographer the money and get it done.
No appointment necessary. We couldn’t make it any easier.
3. PLEASE get this taken care of. We want every senior in the book. It’s your senior-year yearbook. I would appreciate
a response telling me you have already made an appointment or that you will get it taken in one of these two ways.
Thanks,
Mr. Hannan

Here is a press release from the Indiana State Department of Health regarding the recent outbreak of Pertussis in
Indiana, and a copy of a Pertussis Fact Sheet. Sometimes school breaks are good in a sense of less kids coming into
contact with each other in a school setting, but also rough in we can be around a lot of different people from other part of the
state and beyond and share new germs and bring back home and to school. If you have any specific questions regarding
pertussis please let me know.

State Health Officials Concerned About Pertussis “Whooping Cough” Outbreak
Facts About Pertussis for Adults
National Foundation for Infectious Diseases
4733 Bethesda Avenue, Suite 750, Bethesda, MD 20814
(301) 656-0003. Web site: www.nfid.org January 2008
What is pertussis?
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a serious infection that spreads easily from person to person. The
infection causes coughing spells so severe that it can be hard to breathe, eat or sleep. It can even lead to cracked
ribs, pneumonia or hospitalization.
Pertussis has been on the rise in the United States since an all-time low of just over 1,000 cases were reported in
1976. While 25,616 cases were reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2005,
the vast majority of cases go unreported and some estimates of true incidence range from one to three million
cases annually.
Symptoms
Early symptoms of pertussis are similar to the common cold or bronchitis and may include runny nose, sneezing
and low-grade fever. The infection also causes coughing that lasts for weeks, even months. Sometimes a
“whoop” sound occurs while gasping for breath during a bad coughing spell. However, the “whoop” is not
always present; adults rarely have the classic “whoop.”
Prevention
Whooping cough is most contagious before the coughing starts, so the most effective way to prevent it is
through immunization. The whooping cough booster vaccine for adults (and adolescents) is called Tdap
(tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis). Children get a different formulation, called DTaP. Both protect against
tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis.
Two Tdap vaccines are currently licensed for use in the U.S. One preparation can be used for both adults and
adolescents, and the other has been approved for use only in adolescents:
• ADACEL (sanofi pasteur) for use in persons 11 to 64 years of age
• Boostrix (GlaxoSmithKline) for use in persons 10 to 18 years of age
Who should get the Tdap vaccine?
The CDC recommends that adults 19 to 64 years of age (and adolescents 11 to 18 years of age) receive a single
dose of Tdap in place of the Td (tetanus-diphtheria) booster previously recommended for all adults and
adolescents. In addition, the CDC has issued recommendations for specific adult populations:
• Adults who have or who anticipate having close contact with infants younger than 12 months of age.
(e.g., parents, grandparents younger than 65 years of age, childcare providers, healthcare workers)
• Healthcare personnel in hospitals or ambulatory care settings who have direct patient contact. Priority is
given to vaccination of workers in direct contact with infants younger than 12 months of age.
• Pregnant women after delivery, before discharge from the hospital or birthing center.
Vaccine Safety
The Tdap vaccine is safe. Reactions to the vaccine are usually mild. The most common reactions after
vaccination are pain and redness at the injection site. Other adverse events are possible. Please consult with your
doctor. A healthcare professional should be informed if you have developed Guillain-Barré syndrome within six
weeks following a prior tetanus vaccination, if you are pregnant or nursing, or if you have experienced Arthustype
hypersensitivity reactions (i.e., rare but severe, exaggerated local reactions) following a prior tetanus
vaccine.

FACT: Pertussis is a serious infectious disease that has been on the rise in the United States
over the last decade, across all age groups.
FACT: Protection against pertussis from early childhood vaccines wears off, leaving adults and
7
adolescents at risk for infection.
FACT: The Chinese refer to pertussis as the “cough of 100 days” due to the prolonged, dry
cough that is experienced by infected individuals.
FACT: Pertussis can be difficult to diagnose because early symptoms may appear like the
common cold or bronchitis.
FACT: Pertussis causes coughing spells that can affect breathing, eating and sleeping. It can
even lead to cracked ribs and hospitalization.
FACT: Pertussis causes coughing that lasts for weeks, even months. Sometimes a “whoop”
sound occurs while gasping for breath during a bad coughing spell. However, the
“whoop” is not always present; adults rarely have the classic “whoop.”
FACT: The vast majority of cases are not reported. While 25,616 cases of pertussis were
reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2005, experts
estimate that the true number may actually be one to three million cases annually.
FACT: Adults and adolescents can spread pertussis to infants who have not yet had all of their
vaccines, even before a cough develops.
FACT: Parents, grandparents and older siblings are often the source of pertussis in babies.
FACT: A booster vaccine, known as Tdap (tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis), is available
to protect against pertussis. One formulation can be used for adults and adolescents. The
other has been approved for adolescents only.
FACT: The pertussis booster vaccine protects against two other highly infectious diseases––
tetanus and diphtheria.
FACT: The CDC recommends that adults 19 to 64 years of age (and adolescents 11 to 18 years
of age) receive a single dose of Tdap in place of the Td (tetanus-diphtheria) booster
previously recommended for all adults.
FACT: The CDC also recommends that adults in close contact with infants younger than 12
months of age, healthcare personnel with direct patient contact — especially with
infants younger than 12 months of age — and pregnant women directly after delivery
receive a single dose of Tdap.

Want to help support our military? This time of year is very difficult for our young, deployed men and women who are
away from their families for the holidays. One of our own, Jamison Lupo '02,is on an 8-month deployment. The morale can
get very low with the exhausting schedule they keep on top of being away from loved ones for such
long periods of time. Team Peace will be selling "peace" bracelets during the lunch periods starting
Friday, November 19th. All of the proceeds will go to providing care packages to the 20 sailors who
are under our Jamie's command. They run the nuclear reactor which powers the USS Abraham
Lincoln Aircraft Carrier. We would love to raise enough money to send each of these sailors a care
package for Christmas. By purchasing a bracelet, you can help us with this task and perhaps it can
be a visual reminder for you to pray for these young men and women and also for Peace. The
prices will range from $15-$25....donations are also appreciated. If you would like more information please contact Holly
Baker at hebaker@cathedral-irish.org or Erin Baker at ekbaker2@gmail.com or Marcia Lupo at nellie1960@comcast.net .

Cathedral has established a Concussion Management Policy, shown below:
9
Concussion Management Policy
Cathedral High School
The recognition and treatment of athletes who have suffered a concussion has become a national priority.
As a result of an increasing number of studies that have revealed that concussions, not properly treated,
can result in permanent mental difficulties. The data also suggests that concussions can lead to the
development of dementia earlier than expected and has led to mandates by the National Federation of High
Schools (NFHS), NCAA and the NFL. The NFHS mandated rule states “Effective with the 2010 high school season,
any player who shows signs, symptoms or behaviors associated with a concussion must be removed from the
game and shall not return to play until cleared by an appropriate health-care professional”.
Recovery from a concussion requires limitation of physical activity, especially sports activity such as practice, drills,
games, and at times even physical education classes. In significantly symptomatic athletes, mental activity should
also be limited to allow the brain to heal. These activities may include limiting assignments,
allowing greater time to complete quizzes and tests or assignments and less homework.
Such activities as watching TV, texting, and video games may also slow the recovery from
the concussion.
Neurocognitive testing such as the ImPACT test is a computerized test that documents the
athlete’s cognitive and speed skills. The test has been validated as an accurate measure of
brain function recovery following a sports concussion. All athletes should have a baseline test before practice or
competition, and should an athlete sustain a concussion, a repeat test can be performed and compared to the
baseline test. This can help show the degree of injury and help measure when recovery has occurred. Cathedral
High School has implemented ImPACT (Immediate Post Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) for our
student athletes.
Before the concussed athlete can return to action, the most current standard of care of the sports concussion
includes the following: (1) the athlete must be asymptomatic at rest; (2) a neurocognitive test such as the ImPACT
test must have returned to baseline; and (3) the athlete must be asymptomatic with activity. This evaluation should
be done by a physician trained in the treatment and management of concussions. Utilizing the above standards, as
well as experience and judgment, this physician will be able to determine when the athlete has completely
recovered from the concussion.
The Cathedral High School Administration, coaches, and medical staff are striving to keep your child’s health and
safety at the forefront of the student athletic experience. If you have any questions regarding concussion
management, please feel free to contact Mike Hunker at 968-7361.

Class of 2011:
I apologize for this rather lengthy email, but I encourage you to read through it as there are some really great
opportunities for scholarship coming up in the near future.
While you can still go out to the Connect website and look through over 5000 scholarships, the local/area

so I am going to provide the information to you. Some of the scholarships listed below are local, while others are
regional or national scholarships. Regardless, they are scholarships that Cathedral has been notified about
through email or mail. If you have not converted your Prephq registration over to Connect, please do so by going

Dear Parents:
It’s not too early to begin thinking about the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This is the
form for applying for any need based financial aid. It cannot be filed until after January 1 but there are some
preliminary things you can do. First, realize that it is only available online at www.fafsa.ed.gov They used to
make paper copies and we could put one in the senior mailboxes but they don’t produce those anymore.
Secondly, you (and your student) will need a pin number that you will use to sign your FAFSA. This can be obtained
now at the above mentioned website under Step One.
Each state has their own deadline for FAFSA submission so you’ll want to pay close attention to that. For anyone
that will attend a college in Indiana the due date is March 10, 2011. If you need assistance in filling out the FAFSA
there is a “help day” called College Goal Sunday (www.collegegoalsunday.org). This is being held on Sunday
February 20th. It offers free help from a financial aid expert who will sit down with you and help you complete the
form that day. If you go to the website it will show you the locations in the Indianapolis area.
Lastly, those who have attended the National Center for College Costs seminar have the services of Dave Murray,
877-687-7291 or info@collegecosts.com. Please feel free to contact him with any detailed questions you may have
regarding financial aid.
Students should actively be looking for scholarships at this time as well. Although our PrepHQ/ConnectEdu website
is still being transformed the Scholarship section is up and running with over 6,000 listings. Go to ConnectEdu at
14
www.connectedu.net/?hs=cathedral. Under the “Paying for College” section go to Search for Scholarships. Another
good source which we also recommend to students is Fastweb,( www.fastweb.com) .This is the largest, free
scholarship search on the web.
The majority of my students have completed at least one or more college applications at this point. For those who
haven’t and those who are still going to complete applications, they should shoot for having them done by
Thanksgiving. A reminder that any students who have applications with December 1 deadlines, and I need to
write recommendation letters for, need to turn in their Application Checklist sheets to me by next Wednesday,
November 10th.
Thanks for all your support and help in working with your students in the college process. This class has been on
top of things from day one and have really followed the guidelines to help us get their materials out in a timely
manner.

Service Outreach News:
Our school year offers inspirational service opportunities for our Cathedral students.
Class Service Projects As an insight during Advent, ponder this scripture: “…Through the gathering darkness of Advent,
we muse in hope on the dawning of Christ, the Sun of Justice.” This scripture reminds us to be cognizant that we bring
special joy and light to others in our service that we perform in the month of December during Advent. In December,
sophomores will be helping to serve our popular spaghetti dinner to the Lord’s Pantry members on Wednesday, December
8 from 3:30-7:15 PM. You may also join our outreach on Saturday, December11, 10:00-1:30, when juniors will be serving
up a fabulous lunch for the Saturday noon meal at the Cathedral Soup Kitchen. Seniors Katie Gordon, Connor Ashby and
Drew Myers will be passing out their 250 scarves that they have made for the homeless. Freshmen will begin helping at the
Catholic Charities Christmas Store on December 4, 5, 18 and 19 to help special families to shop for their Christmas. Details
on all of these on-going class service projects are noted below in Service Opportunities as wonderful expressions of
thanksgiving, giving and grace.
Cathedral Habitat for Humanity Chapter-Selling Ornaments for Christmas The perfect gift for a special friend or family
member is that gift which lets them know that you cherish their altruistic and spiritual support for mankind. Buy a Habitat
Christmas ornament for your friend. As it hangs on their tree, it warmly shares your love for them with the following gift tag:
Special you are and special you will be.
On this Christmas, just for thee,
a donation was made for humanity.
As this ornament hangs on your tree,
it reflects the love shared with thee,
so richly blessing our family.
A donation has been made to Habitat for Humanity in your name which will support the building of a low cost home. Thanks
for being such a good friend to the ____________________ .
These ornaments have been created by Allison Loew, celebrated artist and Cathedral senior, and her committee. They may
be ordered via email from Cheri Halstead, chalstead@catehdral-irish.org. Each ornament, which costs $10, may be paid for
with a check made out to Cathedral High School. Please specify Habitat for Humanity ornaments in the memo section. We
will send your ornament (s) home with your student, who will be called down to pick it/them up at the front desk. Please
send your check to Cathedral, attention Cheri Halstead. The Cathedral Habitat for Humanity chapter extends appreciative
thanks of your support of low cost housing everywhere.
“Make It Mine” Service Outreach Cathedral students are leading the way planning a service outreach for 200 IPS middle
school students in our community. We are coordinating a special day of events combining reading, athletics and other
passions such as art, music and dance which will be held at the University of Indianapolis. The theme for this day is “MAKE
IT MINE”. On this day, we are featuring interests that students can develop in high school to help keep them engaged. We
are also asking students to sign up as READING BUDDIES with these middle schoolers to encourage them to read eight
16
books a year. It has been shown that reading eight books is as helpful as going to summer school. Students are needed to
help with the stations for the MAKE IT MINE day on Saturday, Dec 4, from 9:30-2:30 PM at IPS #106. Details are listed
below. Click here for a sign up form and please email it to Mrs. Halstead. Our next meeting for the Saturday, Dec 4 event
is Wednesday, December 1 after school in the SLC. Please email Jasmine Whitaker, Imani Parker-Robinson, or Mrs.
Halstead (chalstead@cathedral-irish.org) with your questions.
Service Hours on Power School Service hours may be viewed on Power School and are current for all
hours received since the start of school. There is a small button in the upper right hand corner to view the
service hours. For the 2010-11 academic year, service hours for seniors are due December 1, 2010 to meet
their total graduation requirement. The status of service hours for seniors will be shown as satisfactory or
unsatisfactory on their second quarter report card. For the academic year of 2010-11, freshmen, sophomore
and junior hours are due March 1, 2011. The status of service hours for these underclassmen will be shown
as satisfactory or unsatisfactory on the third quarter report card. If the hours for last year were completed,
hours earned after April 23, 2010 may be credited to the current year’s requirement. We are accepting
service on a project basis as well. After Sep 1, hours will not be accepted more than sixty days after the
date of service performance.

Service Reflection
They say it takes a minute to serve a special person,
An hour to appreciate them,
A day to love them,
But then an entire life to forget them.
May your Cathedral service personally enrich you and your spirituality, as we seek to
address challenges faced by our brothers and sisters in our immediate community and world-wide.

Cathedral drops F.W. Dwenger for 4A football title
By Mark Ambrogi mark.ambrogi@indystar.com
Senior quarterback Connor Barthel threw two touchdown passes and ran for another to lead Cathedral to the Class 4A
state championship tonight.
The Irish beat Fort Wayne Dwenger 31-20 at Lucas Oil Stadium. It is the Irish's eighth state title.
Barthel completed 23-of-34 passes for 335 yards. Cathedral led 10-6 at halftime. The Irish made it 17-6 in the third quarter
with Barthel's 20-yard touchdown pass to John Roby. Dwenger came right back with an 80-yard touchdown run by Jalen
West and a two-point conversion run to slice Cathedral's lead to 17-14. Barthel followed with a 45-yard touchdown pass to
Reece Horn in the fourth quarter. Gino Gillium added an 11-yard touchdown run to put the Irish ahead 31-14. The Irish
scored first on a 26-yard field goal by Jack Fleck. After the Saints tied it, the Irish scored on a
1-yard touchdown run by Barthel to take a 10-3 lead. Dwenger's two first-half scores came on a
pair of 25-yard field goals by Greg Black.

Student-Athlete Tip of the Week (11-29-10) - Property of Billy Shepherd Sports Inc. and provided by the NFHS
Some student-athletes don't see the importance of a proper diet and getting the right amount of sleep. Are you one of those
people?
 Eating the right foods and getting the proper amount of sleep are important fundamentals of any athlete. It plays a
big part in being in top physical condition.
 Take pride in what you eat and the amount of sleep you get. It could end up being the difference maker in your
game day performance and classroom performance.
For more information on the student-athlete go to www.askbillyshep.com and www.nfhs.org.

Meditation:
Matthew 15:29-37
Have you ever thought of God as a sloppy host? Today’s Gospel reveals his tendency to give his guests so much more than
they need—more, even, than they can manage to eat. Not only was everyone fed; seven whole basketfuls of food were left
over! In Scripture, the number seven is often used to represent completeness or fullness. So we could say that Jesus
doesn’t just want to give us more than we need; he even wants there to be too many leftovers!
26
As followers of Jesus, we can trust that God will provide for each of us so much that we will have plenty left over. He wants
to give us an overabundance of hope, peace, joy, purpose, and freedom. He wants to heal us, energize us, and set us
free—so much so that we would have the equivalent of seven basketfuls left over to give to everyone else!
Still, there are times when we may not feel deserving. Or there may be times when past sins or disappointments have led us
to doubt that God wants to help us. When thoughts like these come, try thinking about how generously Jesus gives himself
in his body and blood. Day after day, week after week, he comes and feeds us with an overabundance of grace and favor.
We come to the altar empty and needy, and he fills our every need, nourishing us with the bread of his life. We can actually
feel him drawing us back to him as we taste and see his goodness.
There may be times when we sense that some part of our lives is empty. We may be far from home. Or we may be feeling
drained of joy and peace because of overwork. Or we may be spending so much time caring for someone else that we feel
we have nothing left over for ourselves. In situations like these, we can always find comfort in Jesus’ eucharistic presence—
whether at Mass or in silent adoration. He can fill our emptiness as we gaze on him and pour out our hearts. We should
never underestimate the power of God to provide for us. God truly is a generous—even sloppy—host!
“Jesus, fill those empty corners of my life with your abundant provisions—even those dark corners caused by my sin. Help
me, Lord, to trust in you.”
Blessings,
