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

BROTHER VIRGIL Known as the man with the most hobbies on the faculty, Brother Virgil likes to dab- ble in anything that might be classified as new to him. His hobbies have included: pot- tery, photography, drawing, and silk screen processing. He spends most of his teaching hours in English Literature with almost any of the classes. He is Moderator of Class 3B and is known to most as a rather exact- ing teacher. BROTHER EDWARD Brother Edward may be seen daily as he decorates the Catholic Action bulletin board with Catholic information and literature. One could easily conclude from this that he must be the Moderator of the very active Catholic Action Society. Besides the numer- ous activities connected with this society, Brother Edward teaches English and his- tory in the lower division and has the diffi- cult task of moderating one of the Frosh classes. PROFESSOR TEEHAN This is Professor Teehan's first year on the faculty. He came to Cathedral by way of Brown University where he received his Master's degree in English. Recognized as outstanding in his field, Mr. Teehan teaches English in the lower division classes and history to the Sophomores. This is Profes- sor Teehan's first teaching assignment and up to the present time has been a very suc- cessful one.
