DEDKA TED TO ARCHBISHOP KARL J. ALTER; ON HIS GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE HOLY PRIESTHOOD During his ten years as an archbishop, his excellency Karl J. Alter has done much for the Catholic youth of Cine einnati in all the aspects of their social and spiritual lives. For this reason, the Cavaliers pay special tribute to him during his Golden Anniversary year. In the first place, he has made our school system one of the best in the country. Under his guidance three new high schools, Moeiler, St. Xavier, and Mother MeAuley, have been built, and one, LaSalle High, is under construc- tion. Also, additions have been made at Roger Bacon and Elder. Through this program the crowded condition of our schools has been relieved, and the opportunities for Catholic education increased. Along with his efforts to improve the minds of the youth under his charge, he has established youth clubs for the social and athletic development of his people. Such organizations as the Councils of Catholic Men, Women, and Youth have been adopted by nearly ail the parishes of the archdiocese. Finally, his sponsorship of the Catholic Studentis Mission Crusade, his backing of Sodalities and other apos- tolic groups, and his great interest in our spiritual welfare have helped to further the spiritual life of his charges. Such dedication in his work has Iriade the people respect and love him, a fact shown in their strong support of his programs. PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE ' v ' REV. FATHER JOSEPH KERR SM. Genial Father J oseph Kerr, one of the hest-loved principals ever to come to Purcell, is perhaps the one most directly responsible for the many achievements of the Cava- liers. His warm-hearted backing of the students in their activities has carried them far in their quest to be Praegtans Inter Omnes.
