ii 'ii ' Encouragement in time of defeat and congratulations when victorious have been heard by every athlete at Cathedral from His Excellency, Bishop joseph T. lVIcGucken. His undying interest through- out the year has been one of the greatest moral supports of the athletic teams. His attendance at the religious activities has been missed this year due to his temporary transfer to the Fresno Diocese as Apost- olic Administrator. However, his return at the end of the year was a welcomed sight to Cathedral men. Vive at Cathedral are sincerely grateful for the solicitude and interest His Fxcel-a lency has manifested in Cathedral and its activities, Whether it be on the field of sport, in the classroom, or in religious ac- tivities.

Arclabisloo 11 Cantwell His lfxcellency Archbishop john xl. Cantwell is the man to whom Cathedral owes its very existence. If it had not been for his perseverance, encouragement and foresight over twenty-two years ago, Cath- edral would not have been built as early as 1925. Since the day the school first opened., his ruling hand has been greatly instru- mental in bringing Cathedral to the top athletically, academically and socially. lt is because of his innumerable duties and pressing responsibilities that he is HOT seen more often at the school activities. But let no one think that he is not interested or does not know what is taking place on Bishop's Road. VVe who have contacted our beloved Bishop realize that in his illustrious ex- ample we have an echo down through the aees of Our Lord's words: Mlihou art Peter and upon this rock l will build my church.

l l PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE It gives me great pleasure to address the members of the 1947 graduating class at the conclusion of my first year as Prin- cipal of Cathedral High School. No trib- ute of praise for their accomplishments, for their spirit of cooperation and com- radeship is too great-they have truly rep- resented themselves as exemplary Cath- olic gentlemen. This publication is an adequate representation and tribute of the spirit of the class. The theme of the annual, Youth and its Activities, is a Well chosen and timely one. No subject is more important today. A full rounded development of youth is one of the most important problems current in the World today. The moral and relig- ious activities of youth today will be the spiritual background of tomorrow's world. As society trains its youth today so will be the World of tomorrow. Athletically, So- cially, Academically, and religiously the World is at a crisis that is being bravely and competently faced and conquered by such men as the graduates of Cathedral. To our graduates, today, I offer my sin-- cerest congratulations and best wishes for the years to come. I feel assured that the spirit instilled at Cathedral in your youth will become the motivating forces of your future years. I know you have learned your lesson Well and realize the importance of Christian principle. May God bless and guide your future years and may you al- ways be proud to have been associated with the Christian Brothers at Cathedral! BROTHER WILLIAM Principal
