In the 1970's he worked for Congressman John Brademas who said Justice Sullivan was one of his closest and most trusted advisers.

Dr. Vagner and his wife moved to South Bend in 1949 from St. Louis and immediately confronted a segregated housing market. They eventually succeeded in buying a Clay Township home in 1955. Their experience was key in efforts to convince the South Bend Common Council to pass a fair housing ordinance, which was approved in 1968. Vagner remained a tire-less worker in the civil rights movement and a role model for African Americans who aspired to professional careers. George Cutter, inventor and business owner whose company produced most of the city’s street lights in the early 1900s. He was the 2011 historic inductee. Cutter showed an early inclination toward electrical invention. In the 1870s he worked with a company that was associated with Alexander Graham Bell and the telephone business. He later cre-ated the George Cutter Co. in Chicago, then moved it to South Bend. By 1915, most streetlights in the city were manu-factured by his company. His company later merged with Westinghouse. Cutter is buried in Riverview Cemetery.

Any Questions ?
Alumni Association Exposed For What It Really Is!
It is no secret (is that a start for a song title ) the Alumni Association is a fund-raising or-
ganization with more than one purpose. The first (and only) purpose was to save the School
Field complex from the wrecking ball to make way for a school bus parking lot and repair
garage. A group of South Bend graduates headed by Eddie Ehlers and Louie Baker raised enough money to
save School Field. That being accomplished, the group decided perhaps more could be done to support educa-
tion and took steps to create a foundation similar to the Mott Foundation in Michigan. That first step was the
creation of the South Bend School Boosters (SBSB). That was followed by the creation of the South Bend
Alumni Association. The ‘big’ plans for a foundation were ‘way laid’ by conflicts and confusion and plans
were dropped. The Boosters and Alumni then decided to merge under the name South Bend Alumni Asso-
ciation.
The mission of the South Bend Alumni Association
The South Bend Alumni Association aspires to assist with the education of children in the South Bend
Community School Corporation by financially supporting the learning activities that are not supported by
Indiana tax dollars and by promoting our community as a good place to live and learn.
To meet that commitment the Alumni Association (Boosters) has donated, gifted and loaned an amount near-
ing one million dollars to students, schools and educational programs; some by partnering with area busi-
nesses and, at times; solely from the Association. A partial list of recipients, programs and projects that have
received funding from the Alumni Association over the years follows:
Academic Scholarships Active Student Grants
Alumni Social Luncheons Athletic Programs & Equipment
Band Uniforms Celebration of Academic Achievements
Drama Clubs Gifted & Talented programs
Quiz Bowl Competition High School Year Books
Individual Education Grants Citizenship Awards
Mittens & Scarfs Program Mock Trial Competition

BOB GOODRICH CHAIRS 19TH ANNUAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
Bob Goodrich will chair the TCU-Superintendent’s Scholarship golf tournament in 2012 as he has the past 18 years. In that time the Association has raised over a half million dollars for Plan2000 the Association’s scholarship program. Bob, a native of Kansas City, Kansas, graduated from IU Bloomington and became director of Parks and Recreation in Indianapolis before settling in South Bend in the early 60’s. He announced the 2012 Tournament will be held on Wednesday, May 16th at Erskine Park GC in South Bend and said this year will feature some new ‘twists’, but will keep a Florida Scramble format. He also said if anyone can find a golf tournament that will give a ‘bigger bang for the buck’ they should ‘grab it’! Those interested in entering a team or contributing to the
tournament are asked to contact the South Bend Alumni Association office or go to the Association’s web site at www.southbendalumni.com
Our thanks to the following, whose contributions made it possible to publicly recognize the achievements and services of the 2011 Hall of Fame inductees and the recipients of the notable Awards presented by the Hall of Fame Committee.
