Page I O wyfzw. y. 4. gem, 0.5.14 St. Rita High School was founded in 1905 by the Very Rev. James F. Green, 0.S.A. Con- struction of what is now Green Hall was the initial step in formulating the present campus. Student enrollment mounted rapidly and, in 'l922, when the pressure of other duties neces- sitated Father Green's retirement from scho- lastic work, St. Rita High School had become established in Chicago as one of the leading secondary schools.

144 4-lcfieucoficl MESSAGE TO ALL FRIENDS OF ST. RITA The 1948 Cascian Yearbook has been proudly and endearingly dedicated to the Augustinian Fathers whose zeal, courage, and vision have transmuted a prim- itive prairie into a school vibrant with leadership in the field of Catholic education. From the foundation year of 1905, when the Very Rev. James F. Green, O.S.A., ,brought to Chicago's Southwest Side the nucleus of 'a great spiritual and intellectual army, to this era of almost incredible eccpan- sion by the Very Rev. Ruellanr P. Fink, O.S.A., the Augustinians have perpetuated at St. Rita the educa- tional principles and Christian ideals so pre-eminently exemplified in the life and works of their illustrious founder, St. Augustine. The thousands of boys who have been graduated from St. Rita in two score and three years are today holding aloft and aflame the torch of Christendom placed in their hands by the Augustinian Fathers who have undertaken the gigantic tasks initiated by Father Green, O.S.A. A It is the Cascian's unshaken conviction that it is the Divine destiny of all St. Rita Students,-past, present, and future,-to be the guardians of the heritage of Catholic philosophy and Christ's way of life instilled into them by their Augustinian educators. We firmly reply upon a continuation of the blessings of Divine Providence upon all the endeavors of our Faculty and Student Body, so that the traditions and indomitable spirit of our Founders will emerge triumphantly, partic- ularly in these dark days of rampant despotism, materi- alistic ideologies, and repugnant and abhorrent totali- tarianisms. -The Cascian Staff
