Monsignor McDonald glances up from his desk. A busy place, his ofiice may be called the nerve cen- ter of the school. The Headmaster always celebrates Friday morning Mass for the Prep boys. Here he is seen at Com- munion time. The Headmaster Monsignor Robert B. McDonald undertakes a difiicult task as Headmaster at Cathedral Prep. His numerous committments and re- sponsibilities attest to the fact that he is conscientious and thorough. With the firm understanding of a priest and the watchful, guiding eye of a principal, Monsignor has earned the respect of both teachers and students. He is never too busy to give a bit of sound advice to a student who comes to the office with a problem. He has the reputation of being thoroughly honest and fair with his students, no matter what the problem may be. Educator, friend, priest - all three com- bine in the personality of the Headmaster to insure his success as a leader of youth. The Class of 1952 appreciates Monsignor McDon- ald's many efforts to help them during their time at Prep. May God bless you, Monsignor! Very Reverend Monsignor Robert B. McDonald is pictured on this page as he fulfills some of his very many duties as the Headmaster of Cathedral Prep. A Headmaster's schedule demands that he give regular talks to the students.
