Did anyone attend the last mass at Queen of Peace 2 summers ago when Gallagher closed? After the reception in the gym, they were selling all sorts of things like uniforms, trophies, old yearbooks. My friend's son still practices BBall in the gym. She took a stroll thru the library where it is literally unchanged. All of the same books on the shelves from 25 years ago. | ||

BGHS '75. Yes, we attended the last mass at Queen of Peace. Took a few photos of the school that day, and picked up a couple jerseys and other items. Also took home the Spirit Award plaque for the 70s when my class won it once or twice. | ||

2 sisters graduated from BGHS, '77 and 79 I think. I was in the joint DLSHS/BGHS band 79 - 83. Sure made the annual football game interesting. | ||

Is Chalu, Jason? Anyways class of 97. BG meant very much to me, where I made many friends and built into the man I am today. Thank God for Catholic schools. George Sahadi was a father figure to me, Crazy ass Frank Strunk too  I also met my wife there....oh the memories!! | ||
Dhugger Member Username: Dhugger Post Number: 177 Registered: 03-2005 |
Two of my sisters attended BG in the 1970's. I will get them to post something here. I attended Queen of Peace during grade school then moved to a far suburb and attended the public schools. | ||
Ordinary Member Username: Ordinary Post Number: 144 Registered: 06-2006 |
Strunk was still there in '97?! | ||
Willmess01 Member Username: Willmess01 Post Number: 11 Registered: 02-2007 |
Yeah Strunk was still the DE football coach, English teacher and could still bench-press 300lbs! He was stern and zany. | ||
Kathleen Member Username: Kathleen Post Number: 2010 Registered: 10-2003 |
But he was teaching at Shrine HS at that time, right? Teaching at Shrine, doing the football thing at BG. I was in his Honors English 3 back in 1973-74. I was introduced to John Keats and the other Romantic poets as well as to James Dickey's Deliverance courtesy of Mr. Strunk! | ||
Willmess01 Member Username: Willmess01 Post Number: 12 Registered: 02-2007 |
All I know is that he was there when I was there from 94-97. He was there and so was Ron Biotti and some of the other "old-timers" like Jim Wasakanis. I can't get some of Mr. Strunk's stories out of my head. Beezlebub anyone? | ||

"Alumni" is plural. "Alumni's" don't mean nothin'. Nevertheless, I remember BG fondly. : ) | ||
Imhere Member Username: Imhere Post Number: 4 Registered: 02-2007 |
Jim Wasakanis was teaching Freshmen History when I went there. I remember his class was upstairs in the freshmen hall. I had heard George Sahadi transferred to Notre Dame after BG closed, but not sure where he went after Notre dame closed. | ||
Kathleen Member Username: Kathleen Post Number: 2028 Registered: 10-2003 |
After Notre Dame closed, Sahadi went to Dearborn Divine Child and was to be head football coach for the 2006 season. Unfortunately he died before the season began, but not before he had gone through spring practices and summer workouts and not before he made arrangements for his coaching staff to remain at Divine Child, headed up by Jack Masserang. DC names George Sahadi new football coach http://www.pressandguide.com/s tories/121405/spo_20051214008. shtml DC football coach George Sahadi dies at age 62 http://www.pressandguide.com/s tories/121405/spo_20051214008. shtml We followed Bishop Gallagher football from the time I was there, starting 1971 through Sahadi's last season there. For some 10-12 years, my dad Bob Young was the stadium announcer for BG football games. | ||
Willmess01 Member Username: Willmess01 Post Number: 13 Registered: 02-2007 |
I do remember the name Bob Young, what a very small world as I am comming to find. George Sahadi was the best, a hothead, but full of passion none-the-less. I wish we had the oppotunity to have more Eastside Catholic high schools in the same nature. | ||
Chalu64 Member Username: Chalu64 Post Number: 123 Registered: 08-2005 |
I'm still upset that BG didn't move out to the burbs when they had the chance years ago. Sorry to say this, but we all know it's tough for Catholic Schools to survive in the city. Or near the city. DeLaSalle is the perfect example. And what do you think happened to the Cafe Mural? I know it was taken down in panels... | ||

BG Alum of '82. Great thread here. I think the Almighty "doelar" was the downfall or lack thereof. | ||
Willmess01 Member Username: Willmess01 Post Number: 14 Registered: 02-2007 |
I agree it is pretty hard for the survival inwards of the city. I am glad it was there for me however. I have always said, as bad as it sounds, that this Catholic school education was the difference between me and some of the friends and siblings who went to public schools. There is a noticable differance in outcome of lifepath and career in general. In the coming years when it is time to "poney" up for my son, there will be no hesitation. The money was well worth it! |
