Happy Hours

It was wall-to-wall people at Plank's Cafe on November 26 as the Carolian community gathered for great pizza, cold refreshments, and much fellowship at the annual Thanksgiving Eve Alumni Happy Hour. The evening was especially meaningful as we honored Mr. Doug Montgomery, who retired last year after serving more than 43 years as a faculty member and Drama Director (directing more than 125 productions) at St. Charles.

Our thanks to John Plank '82. Mary Plank Underwood, and the Plank's Cafe staff for accommodating us.

Please plan to join us this spring on April 23 for our next scheduled Alumni Happy Hour. The location has yet to be determined, so if you have a suggestion, email Louis J. Fabro '83 at lfabro@scprep.org.
Previously, the last Alumni Happy Hour gathering took place in the spring at the Edison Brewery (with its beautiful view of downtown Columbus) in Gahanna on May 24, 2025.
