The Drive

Since I graduated back in '84, I don't know what the current process is for the Drive. Do they still dedicate a week of school to it? Do guys still go door-to-door during the day? Does Father Donoher still nearly lose his mind running the freshmen bus trips? You know, I miss it. --Habap 19:11, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm adding a section, it's not done yet. Nickoladze 12:43, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. Today's actually he last day for this year's drive. It goes from a Friday, through the next week to the following Monday. Fr. Ned doesn't do the Freshmen bus trips anymore, probably because its too much stress. (He can't really walk very much anymore, and for the most part rides around school in an electric scooter.) I don't know how much they did in your day, but here's a summary of esome of the stuff. I'll probably add some of this to the article.

First they announce the Top 10 sellers, who come up to the front and draw cards from a deck that indicate homerooms and students. If you're drawn and you've turned in the daily quota (which increases by 12 bucks each day) you get a check for all the money you've turned in so far. They do one drawing for each grade, then six more for the whole school. After that, everyone starts chanting "one more" and they usually do anywhere from 5-10 more. The seniors usually do a couple "seniors only" chants, but if anyone else tries that, they get a "sit down, shut up," chant.

After that there's more drawings. They do drawings from the names of people who have turned in the full weekly quota, ($96) double-quota, triple-quota, and quadruple. There are groups of prizes for each category, and the person picks one. Then they do the "Magic Box." There are no requirements for this, winner gets whatever is in the "magic box," usually some kind of joke.

Then, they do the challenges. Students, homerooms, and entire grades can challenge each other to raise more money, and the loser does something humiliating at the assembly the next day. Instead of choosing the punishments, people can also choose to spin the "Wheel of Doom."

Next usually comes other rankings: the top homerooms in each grade, the top 10 for the whole school, and the rankings for entire grades. The Freshmen pretty much always win, but lately the Seniors have been consistently coming in 2nd place.

Mixed in there somewhere are the class skits. Each grade's student council members organize a Drive skit, and they're spread out across the week.

And that's basically an average drive assembly. I'm gonna take some of the more relevant stuff and put it in the article.He Who Is^{[ Talk ]} 20:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Gaming club

I just wanted to post a thank you to whomever is running the Gaming Club these days. I was one of the founders back in the early 1980s and am overjoyed that it still exists. It probably first appears in the 1981 or 1982 yearbook (I was class of '84 and President my senior year.) --Habap 02:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Dave Pounder

Dave Pounder is indeed an alumni of Detroit Catholic Central as can be verified here http://www.metrotimes.com/culture/story.asp?id=13070 Please be on the lookout for user Nickoladze as he constantly deletes the addition and refuses to accept the truth. Thank You. A2Dogg (talk) 03:59, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Okay, the section is called "Notable Alumni" not "List Your Favorite Alumni". A Porn producer/director/someone who is pretty damn unpopular, is not a notable alumni. There was an article somebody showed me where there was proof of him attending Detroit Catholic Central In Novi. I was in the first graduating class from Novi, and that guy is years older than I am, making it impossible for him to have graduated from there. As awesome as you think he is, he is not notable alumni. Nickoladze (talk) 15:11, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
