Scully was appointed in l945 as Co-adjutor Bishop of Albany to assist with the tremendously growing Catholic population here. Then in the autumn, Father Taaflfe was transferred to Blessed Sacrament Church in Albany. To our midst came our present rector and principal, the Reverend John ,l. Forman. lVlany were the student interests which spread beyond classroom activities in these past few years. Some ofthe new features added were: C.Y.U. projects, Our Lady's Sodality, Public Speaking Clubs, May Day Participation, Operettas, Boys and Cirls Clee Clubs, Class Night Banquets and many other events which kept our youth on a par. During these years Cathedral was represented in Hearst History Contests, National Poetry Contests, Latinum Auxilium Examinations, and several other competitive tests and we were favored with many winners in these enterprises. i-3 A 1 ti fwf tt . ip 9 ti T Q A yyiz i N On February l4, 1955-both of our schools on Jefferson and lower Elm Streets were destroyed by hre. Two hundred seventy pupils and their teachers took up their work the following Monday in the partly occupied St. Vincent,s Home. ln Septem- ber ofthis current year,when only one building was available for twelve hundred children, we were granted special permission for double sessions for all grammar school classes. The time had come when Cathedrals walls were too small to house her children-and Bishop Scully and his councillors planned a remedy for the con- dition by closing the portals of academic life at Cathedral this June. The present school will provide facilities for her seven hundred elementary pupils. The academic work will continue in the million dollar Cardinal McCloskey Memorial High School within the immediate vicinity ofthe Cardinalis great Cathedral, Every student graduates from C.A. with a store of memories. Her high educa- tional standards aim to prepare her students to be worthwhile Catholic men and women and therefore good American citizens. . .so, young or old, let's leave the yestcryears behind. . .and travel with us through the pages ofTODAY. 13
