| ANNUAL REV. CLARENCE O'SHEA AWARDS BREAKFAST A HUGE SUCCESS On Sunday, May 2 an enthusiastic crowd of 180 people were on hand to greet and congratulate the Golden Wave Club's 2010 scholarship and award winners. The event was moved at the last minute due to unforeseen circumstances from Hamilton Township to the Scottish Rite facility in Bordentown. Despite the late change, the crowd found their way to the bright new facility where they enjoyed a sensational buffet catered by Mastori and a lively program loaded with championship caliber winners. Newly elected club president Bob Plumeri served as emcee for a program highlighted by the presentation of $11,000 in scholarships to deserving descendants of Trenton Catholic grads. The prestigious Rev. Clarence O'Shea Award winner is Bob Hutchinson, a high profile and accomplished coach who expressed his appreciation for being added to a list of past winners of the honor. The scholarship winners included: Daniel Sprotte of Chaminade HS in NY; Meredith Deal of Notre Dame HS; Gina Fiori of Hun School; Jack Dienes of South Hunterdon Regional; and Michael DiBalsi of Hamilton High East. The recently established Joe Logue Scholarship for scholastic sports writing went to Emily Schuit of West Windsor Plainsboro North. Daniel Sprotte was also awarded the Doug Hice Scholarship. In addition to the O'Shea Award other honors included: the Fr. Armand Tough Guy Award to Judge Tom Kelly, TC Class of 1960; the Dave Bookholdt Good Guy Award to John Grussler, TC Class of 1955; the Jack Cryan Award to Frantz Massenat of Trenton Catholic Academy basketball prominence and the Rene Keister Award to Dana Jeter, a standout student athlete from Steinert HS.
