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

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.

VICE-PRINCIPAUS MESSAGE Sincere congratulations to the graduat- ing class of 1947! After four years at Cathedral High you are looking forward expectantly at what the coming year will offer. Undoubtedly you are aware of the great emphasis placed on youth these last few years and the ini- portant role that the citizens of the future will play in the World of tomorrow. This year-book clearly demonstrates the var- ied activities you young men have under- taken to prepare yourselves for the tasks that lie ahead. However, it is difficult to photograph the ideals which your teachers have en- deavored to instill. This outlook on life, which offers a rational explanation of your destiny, a scheme in which every detail of life falls into its natural place, can be found only in the teaching of Christ. This is the real pivot, the keystone around which your whole life can revolve. When brought into contact with the daily life of the individual and the problems facing society, Christ's teachings offer the solu- tion. It is for you to remember the things you learned, the Christian ideals empha- sized by your teachers, and apply them conscientiously. Congratulations on your achievements and may you enjoy success in all your undertakings I BROTHER WALTER Vice-Principal
