On Satmday, October 1 at 9:30 A.M. , I am inviting all interested alumni to attend a very important meeting. At this meeting we will discuss futme goals and projects of YOUR Alumni Association.

In the past two years we have accomplished much for our school, association and community. In order for this progress to continue, we need your input as to what lev­el we should continue. If you feel we are accomplishing our goals, we ask that you come to help plan our future.

George Bernard Shaw said it most aptly when he said, ''You see things that are and say Why? but I dream things that never were and say Why not?"

Please come and share your ideas with other members of the Alumni Association. YOUR INPUT COUNTS!

This complex is becoming a reality due to the generosity of Roy Smith ofH.P. Smith Ford. Gulizia said the field will be named in honor of Roy Smith. A thank you note from members of the Alumni Association should be addressed to Roy Smith %H.P. Smith Ford - 50th and L Streets - Omaha, NE 68117 to express ap­preciation for his contribution.

Individual sections ofthe complex will be named after other large contributors. Send donations to our Treasurer if you would like to help with this important project.

THE BOOTBlACK WON RESPECT This article is reprinted from a Michael Kelly - Omaha Wor~Herald column following the death of Leonard Hawkins. Room 210 will miss this man!

''The author George Bernard Shaw wrote . long ago: 'The haughty Americans subjugate the Negro as a bootblack and then say he has nothing worthwhile to offer because he is only a bootblack.

Omaha's most widely know bootblack died recently. At his funeral, Mount Calvary Church was packed.

Leonard Hawkins, Jr. would have turned 80 next March. He shined shoes from the time he was 14 until this fall, when he suf­fered a heart attack. He died seven weeks later, December 2 (1993).

Hawk, son of a railroad and hotel chef, was born in Oklahoma but moved to Council Bluffs with his family at age 3. He dropped out of high school. He shined the shoes of gangster AI Capone and got a $5 tip.

Hawkins fought off tuberculosis at age 23, when he hemorrhaged so badly that doctors said he might die. .

'After that,' he said a few months ago at Hawk's Shoe Shine in the old Brandeis building, 'every day was a holiday.'

Great Outlook To say that the Hawk was a great boot­

black, a man with keen coordination who

made a shoeshine enjoyable, a work of art, begs the question.

Yes, he had a great outlook, and his clien­tele included doctors, lawyers, judges and lots of other folks. But had he been white, had he received a better education, had dis­crimination not been so pervasive, it's easy to picture him in a different line of work

No one ever suggested, though, that this man wasn't dignified. He and his wife lived a long life together until her death in 1981. They had six children.

He was smart. And he gave of himself for youth. He had trained boxers since 1945, never retiting. One of his fighters, Lamont Kirkland, won a national Golden Gloves ti­tle. Hawk was in the corner when Ron Stander fought Joe Frazier for the heavy­weight championship.

But he worked just as hard with kids you never heard of.

'It changes a lot of them,' he said. 'It helps them in life. They see things in a different light, and they're more aggressive in what they're going after.'

Few in Omaha were more respected than the Hawk He was only a bootblack, but his many admirers thought everything about him was worthwhile."

CONGRATULATIONS TO MARY ALICE KUBOVY 1994 HALL OF FAME HONOREE

by Jen.nni.e Porterfield

After being graduated from SHS in 1961, Mary Alice enrolled at Creighton University. She was especially indebted to Miss Mary Louise Beck, counselor and Dean of Girls, for helping her attend the school of her choice. After receiving her BS in Chemistry in 1965, she taught at Beveridge Jr. High for one year, then at Benson High for the balance of her teaching career to date. Mary Alice received her Masters in Chemistry in 1969 and she was the first female to receive the prestigious Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching in 1987. She received a $5,000 grant for Benson and a whirlwind trip to Washington to meet President Reagan.

She attended a special workshop for award-winning chemistry teachers at the University of California at Berkelyin 1988 and 1989. Mary Alice was the first Benson teacher to receive the coveted Alice Buffet Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1990.

She also received the Ike Friedman Teacher Leadership Award last spring. She was asked to join in a National Science Foundation program to teach chemistry to new chemistry teachers at Creighton University.

Her latest honor, induction into the SHS Hall of Fame, prompted Mary Alice to com­ment that "it is a marvelous feeling to be remembered by my school."

Teaching has always been her avocation and seeing former students succeed has brought her happiness. The long hours in­volved in teaching do not leave much extra time, but she is very active in her parish, Sts. Peter & Paul Church. She is an organ­ist, a member of the Parish Council and the Treasurer of the Ladies' Guild.

The world is a better place because of the dedication and talent of people like Mary Alice Kubovy. We are proud she has been inducted into the SHS Hall of Fame!

SHSAA Extends Sympathy through Memorials "It is only a tiny rosebud, A flower of God's

design: But I cannot unfold these petals with

these clumsy hands of mine. , The secret of unfolding flowers is not

known to such as I: The flower God opens so sweetly, in my hands would fade and die. If I cannot unfold a rosebud, this flower of

God's design, Then how can I think I have , wisdom to unfold this life of mine.

So I'll trust in Him for His leading each moment of every day, And I'll trust in Him for His leading each ~tep of the pilgrim way.

For the pathway that lies before me my Heavenly Father knows: I'll trust Him to unfoldthe moments just as He Unfolds the rose." ,

*See related article on our new Hall of Fame inductees in the flyer enclosed.

-Hall Of Fame Honors New Inductees for 1994 8H8's latest Hall of Fame inductees were introduced at the school's XEROX Honors Banquet in March. The hon­orees represent a wide variety of achievements in their professions and their communities.

TERRY MOORE - 3000 ' Farnam Street - Omaha, NE 68131 - Class of 1961. Mr. Moore is the President of the Omaha Federation of Labor of the AFL-CIO. That alone should qualify him for induction into our Hall of Fame, but that is just the start of the story. As a graduate of SHS in the early sixties, Mr. Moore did what so many young men did in South Omaha-he worked in the meat pro­cessing business. He eventually moved on to become a machine opera­tor at Kellogg's and in 1976 he became president of the labor federation. In 1977 Terry Moore was named one of Omaha's ten outstanding young peo­ple, and was presented the Outstanding Citizen's Award by Mayor Al Veys. Mr. Moore~s list of achieve­ments includes the. Honorary Alumnus Award from Creighton University, the Tree of Life Honor from the Jewish National Fund, and, (although a life­long Democrat) the 1000 Points of Light Award from President George Bush. Terry Moore's community ser­vice is exemplary - having served as chairman of the Salvation Army Tree of Lights Campaign, vice president of the Salvation Army, chartei' member and vice president of the Omaha Schools Foundation and a member of the United Catholic Social Services Board. He is also the Vice Chairman of the Labor Division of United Way and Co-chairs the Goal V Committee of the Omaha 2000 project. He serves on the Advisory Councils of Creighton University and the Universities of Nebraska at Lincoln and Omaha. He also started and chairs the annual Septemberfest Salute to Labor.

Mary DeWitt West West Telemarketing - 9910 Maple Street -omaha, ne 68134 - Class of 1964. If Omaha is the kingdom of telemarket­ing, then Mrs. Mary West must surely be its Queen. Few people can justifi­ably be called pioneers, but Mary West deserves such a label. Since she founded the Mardex Corporation in 1973, Mrs . West has been blazing trails that few in the industry have been able to duplicate. Mardex was one of the first companies specializing in capturing and processing orders for

companies. By 1978 Mardex had become one of the largest telemarket­ing agencies in America, an industry which Mary West almost single-hand­edly created. But her trail blazing did not stop there. In 1978, Mary and her husband, Gary, founded WATS Marketing which serviced both incom­ing and outbound clients. In 1980 First Data Resources and its parent company bought WATS and contracted Mrs. West to run the company. Due to philosophical differences, she left WATS, and soon Mary was back in business . Contrary to the idea that new companies cannot be started in a fiercely competitive industry, Mrs . West started West Telemarketing and, to coin a phrase, "the rest is history." By providing a service which is honest and honorable, fair and state-of-the art, and above all of quality, Mary West has built West Telemarketing and its family of companies into the largest telemarketing company in the world. Not bad for someone who got her start in the service industry by hosting social events at SHS with her sister Portias.

MARY ALICE KUBOVY - 4116 Y Street - Omaha; NE 68107 - Class of 1961. Mary Alice Kubovy is recog­nized across the country as one of its

. finest science teachers. For 28 of her 29 years in education, she has taught chemistry at Benson High School. While she currently resides with the Bunnies, her roots are firmly planted in Packerland. Ms. Kubovy attended both Sts. Peter & Paul and Indian Hills Schools prior to enrolling at SHS. She remains a South Omaha resident and continues to work in her parish as organist and as an officer on various church boards. Mary Alice is also a member of the Metropolitan Science and Engineering Fair and serves on the Benson High 2000 Committee. Among her honors are the Benson High Outstanding Teacher Award, the

, prestigious Alice Buffett Award for Outstanding Teaching and the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science Teaching. She currently is a member of the five member teaching team associated with Creighton University which is conducting work­shops for new teachers as a project of the National Science Foundation.

DEAN M. REZAC - 4312 South 39 Street - Omaha, NE 68107 - Class of 1963. If there is ever a need for a monument to be erected for this next

5

honoree you need not look any further than the school in which we spend so much time day after day. Dean Rezac is the Area Superintendent and Assistant Vice President of Linde/Ronco Construction Company and oversaw the Phase Three .Renovation of SHS. To Mr. Rezac it was like returning home after a long journey, for the dedication and concern which he brought to the project was the same as it would have been if it had been his own home . In fact, to steal a baseball analogy, the newly remodeled SHS could be called the "house that Dean built." In his con­struction career, Mr. Rezac has been responsible for many important Omaha buildings including Northwestern Bell, Richard Young Hospital, Boys Town Institute, University Medical Center and Capehart Chapel. - Dean Rezac is a past trustee of Carpenters Local 400 and is currently a member of the Eagles and a charter member of the South High Alumni Association. A member of the Red Cross Gallon Club, Mr. Rezac also poured a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the South High renovation.

HENRY GREENBERG - 1223 North 98 Court - Omaha, NE 68114 - Class of 1932. Last summer Mr. Greenberg was overheard to be talking proudly of one kid who had been a member of one of the many baseball teams Phillips Stores· h!ld sponsored over the years. He-wa~ saying ho~ happy he was that so many .kids had been helped by the programs that were such an important part of South Omaha 40 years ago. The man he was talking about was the CEO of one of Omaha's major companies and a SHS graduate as well. This is just one example of the concern that HenrY Greenberg has shown in his civic life for the past 60 years. He has demonstrated his com­munity responsibility through a vari­ety of service organizations,_ such as serving on the Board of the United Way of the Midlands, the Urban League, Goodwill Industries, the South Omaha Association; as President of Family Service and Vice Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Immanuel Hospital. Henry Greenberg has been an exemplary member of the community as a businessman who gave back to his community and as a civic leader.

"Field of Dreams", for Youth Sports Training Center Becomes Reality

I wanted to bring you up to date on some exciting happenings in South Omaha. The South High School Alumni Association has been busy con­tacting key business people and ALL SHS Alumni to ask for help in building a Sports Training Complex near Collin Field, between 20th and 22nd Streets and Nand 0 Streets.

This "Field of Dreams" which will be completely fenced and lighted, will include an instructional infield, batting cages for both softball and baseball, volleyball and soccer areas, practice fields, restroom facilities and parking. We believe that such a first class train­ing facility-a first for the youth of South Omaha-would do more to bol­ster self-esteem of our kids, and keep them out .of trouble than any other pro-

ject conceived to date. Such a miracle needs the support of

ALL SHS Alumni and this is where you come in. Will you help us make this dream a reality?

Please send your donation with the form below to Dick Gulizia at the address on the form. The total cost of this project is estimated to be about $166,000. See the front page of this TOOTER for more information about this "Field of Dreams" for South Omaha.

All donations of any size will be greatly appreciated. However, anyone malung a donation of $10 or more will be presented with an attractive SHS Alumni Association lapel pin.

Thank you very much for your con­sideration.

TEACHING AND LEARNING WAY OF LIFE FOR FEllOWS ''After 35 Years in Schools, Retiree Just Can't Quit" The following article was excerpted from a column written by Julie Zelenka, OWH staff writer, appearing on December 27, 1992 in the Omaha World-Herald ' ,

Sally Fellow resigned from South High School last June after 35 years as teacher and chairman of the social studies depart­ment. But she didn't leave education entirely.

A woman who exudes enthusiasm, she took a part-time job with the Omaha School District as facilitator of the Active Citizenship 'lbday program. Omaha is one offive school districts in the nation to receive DeWitt Wallace Reader's Digest Fund grants to establish ACT programs that will bring students into closer touch with their communities. Some of the student experi­ence will include volunteer work.

Sally Fellows was a teacher for 35 years, but she is a student for life.

'One of the things I respect about her, said former SHS principal Joyce Christensen, is that she has never stopped learning herself. Her home is filled with books.'

Miss Fellows, 57, agreed that reading is one of her passions. The other is travel.

Looking back over her years ofteaching, she said, 'It's amazing how completely a school and classroom can devour you. If you do it well, you have to give it most of what you have. I came home too tired to do any­thing else but grade papers, which I brought almost every night.' If she was too tired for a well-rounded life,

her associates didn't notice. Jim Yelnek, who taught in Miss Fellows'

department for eight years, said she attend­ed almost every home football and basketball game and some away games. She was in charge oflining up ushers for school plays and Christmas programs. Yelnek also described her as a major sup­porter of Close Up, a program that takes students to Washington, D.C., for a first­hand look at the federal government, and of the Academic Decathlon. Miss Fellows al­ways made sure minority students were included in Close Up trips, and if students

needed money, she helped them raise it from South Omaha businesses, Yelnek said.

Mrs. Christensen said Miss Fellows is so widely known that people throughout Omaha will approach and ask about her. 'She has this love for young people and en­courages them to go beyond what they thought their capabilities to be.' Miss Fellows said she always wanted to teach­the only question was what subject. 'Maybe it's in the blood,' she said, explaining that a great-aunt taught for 50 years, until she was 78, and that both of Miss Fellows par­ents taught briefly.

Teaching is an honorable and enjoyable profession, she said.

'You can make a difference in a child's life. I've had enough people come back and tell me I made a difference that I figured it was worth doing.'

But Miss Fellows said she saw some of the joy and satisfaction of being a teacher diminish because of deterioration in the in­stitutions offamily and church-and the expectation that schools could fill the void.

'We can't be all things to all people. And when we can't do it, people get upset and angry, , she said. 'Kids come to school with more problems.' .

When Miss Fellows got what would prove to be her lifelong teaching job at South, there was an instant bonding.

'It's a strange school,' she said. 'Somehow, the kids seem to need you more. Either you like it a lot and you stay or you're not comfortable there and you leave. There are a lot oflongtime teachers there.' Miss Fellows said she feels very much a part of a family in South Omaha.

For the past 20 years, she has lived in a house that is 'one and a halfblocks out my back door' from South High.

She and her dogs, Daisy, a mixed breed, and J.D., a spitz, walk three to four miles every morning when the weather is nice.

'This is a community where you can be­come part of it if you want to. When I go out and meet other walkers, I feel comfort­able saying hello. I feel I have taught them, their parents, a brother, or some family member. Some say, 'Hello Miss Fellows' and I ask, 'When did you graduate?"'

All of us fortunate to have enjoyed the in­fluence of Miss Fellows remember her keen interest in each of us as persons - not just students. She caused us to reach and stretch and forced us to reach more potential than we knew we had. Thanks Miss Fellows, from all your former students at SHS!

Give up, join now or someone from the Alumni Association will come to find you!

COME ONE COME ALL! Don't forget to attend the THIRD ANNU­

AL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEETING on October 1, 1994 at 9:30 a.m. at South High in the Team Room. ALL alumni and friends are invited and encouraged to at­tend this important meeting. We need your input at this meeting to help plan the fu­ture of our association. It is vital that representati~es from each decade of gradu­ates attend.

Agenda will include secretary's report, treasurer's report, election of Board mem­bers. Candidates for re-election are Steve Cavlovic, Paul Kracher, Rudy Tesar, Lorraine Giles, John Krayneski, Don Meyer and Beverly Wirth-Murray. Nominations from the floor will be accepted.

Main topic will be goals and future plans for our association. We need a team effort to ensure future success. The following def­inition is a good one:

"A team is a group of individuals combin­ing their efforts and abilities to form one network. A truly good team cannot be sep­arated into individual parts or players but must be viewed as a whole. It is vitally im­portant for all the team members to be of the same mind and spirit in order for the team to be victorious. Often it is not the team with the most highly skilled players that is victorious, but rather the team with the most skill at being a team. By the same token, often the victor is the one that wants the victory the most."

Become pmt of a winning team. Join your alumni association and lend your talents to help achieve our mission of helping South High succeed. Come to the October 1 meet­ing and vote on the future direction we should take.
