Thanksgiving Weekend 2010
Alumni Beef and Beer
On Friday evening, November 26, alumni returned to Devon Prep for the Annual Beef and Beer. The evening began at 6:30 in the gymnasium where two teams squared off for a contest between the young and the not so young players. After four grueling quarters on the hardwood, the senior players, including a member from the Class of ’63, yielded again this year to the younger players in another closely contested game.
By the time the alumni basketball game ended, Calasanctius Hall was filling up with alumni from the sixties all the way through recent college graduates. In addition to enjoying the delicious fare of roast beef, roast pork, and all the trimmings prepared by our own Dining Director, Ruth Kalivas, many alumni received their own glass imprinted with the school logo.
5K Challenge Run
On Saturday morning, November 27, at 10:00 a.m. sharp, the 20th running of the annual Devon Prep 5K Challenge began. Although the thermometer was reading close to freezing, the sun shone brightly and not a cloud appeared in the sky as more than 150 runners and walkers traversed the steep hills of the Shand tract surrounding the Devon campus. Emerging first from the throng of alumni, parents, faculty, and friends again was Dave Evans ’08, recently trained by Coach Paul Sanborn ’64 and now a varsity runner at St. Joseph’s University. With help from many members of the Devon Prep Community, Dan Mulhern ’02 and Rusty Davison ’01 organized yet another successful 5K Run.
