IIUR ALMA MATER Our future has now begun Again a door swings wide-- A promise, yet a challenge, too, And we meet it with joy and pride. Through this open door we see a path That winds as the years unfold, We shall journey along-on our lips a song, We face all with our hearts so bold. r We face these years ahead of us With memories so happy and gay- Our Teachers, our friends and our classmates all, Studies, parties, classes and play. We love the dear school days gone by, And loyal to them, we shall beg The lessons you've taught and the goodness you've brought Will brighten our future with glee. For the future we face--and face it we must, The path we shall walk with firm tread, Unfaltering steps, strengthened by faith Shall stand each of us in good stead. As our future begins, and we bid you farewell, Our hearts ring out boldly in song, Bidding us all to hasten forth Into a world we shall help to make strong. Forward we go in search of good-- Out toward the golden rule, Toward hopes, toward Courage, toward faith, and toward trust, A As we say goodbye dear old school. You will linger forever in thoughts of pure gold, May our loyalty, always be true, Your banner we' ll hold, dear green and white As we bow and say fondly Aiken ,

Espelage, O.F.M., D.D., was consecrated the first Bishop of Gallup, New Mexico, on October 9, 1940, at St. Monica's Cathedral, Cincinnati, Ohio. As the only Franciscan member of the Hierarchy in the United States, Bishop Espelage furthers the Catholic faith in a field rich in Catholic tradition which had its beginnings over four centuries ago. Years of previous work in the South- west have given His Excellency a knowledge of the problems which confront him in this missionary region. He has always shown himself to be vitally interested in the students of Cathedral High.
