The fourteenth gradu- ig class is one of the largest in the school's tory. Many of the class excelled in studies -a few won fame in sports, all proved to be the type of men who will bring honor to the school in future years. Cathedral will remember-and miss this outstanding class. I':1g.fv Nine www Wauifz Sea .914 Qual It was a momentous day, August 27, 1943, to be exact. when 96 wide-eyed, young knowledge-seekers meekly crossed the threshold of Cathedral Boys' High School. We were grouped according to the results of an intelligence test, which made many faculty members and students wonder what the next four years had in store for them. Many of us were dubious of the outcome four years hence. We were now full-fledged Freshmen, bubbling over with vim, vigor and mischief. Our Freshman year was most impressive-so it seems to me. Many things happened to us throughout the years, but memories of our Freshman year will always remain with us. We journeyed through old and intriguing lands'with the wonderful little stories of our Ancient History teacher, Father Nolan. Father Meara, then a Freshman teacher, taught us mathematics, and stunned us with his thorough knowledge of figures and fractions. Now, after all these years, we know why he often used his red pencil when demonstrating a problem on our test papers. Young and scholarly Brother White taught us how to use and how to put a sentence together --we see now, in our senior year the need of knowing all those things. Across the hall Father Weiland steered us through the clutches of Amo, Amas, Amat. The Fresh- man football team, coached by Father Nelson that year, showed great promise for the coming years. Our Varsity basketball squad captured city honors again that year. The highlight of the year was a retreat conducted by Father john Farrell, the Chaplain of Pontiac Reformatory. It was the first of four retreats for us here at Cathedral High, and now we are beginning to realize what they meant and will mean for us. The tragedy of the year was the loss of amiable Robert Wochner who was taken by death early in January. We began our Sophomore year with a little more self confidence and a great deal of satisfaction that we had already completed one year. Our newly gained confidence was shaken a bit, however, by the arrival of a new faculty member, Father Toolan, who persistently demanded an exact knowledge of themoerms dealing with geometric angles. Famer Toolan was also appointed the new Dean of Discipline. We had lost a few of our class by this time, but wel- comed five new members, John Grady, Chuck Gillespie, Jim Hennebery, Robert Schafer, and Fred lmpastato. They were a little shy at first, but you should see them nowl Not a few of us enjoyed the newly formed Happy Hour which Father Toolan personally conducted from three to four every afternoon. The football and basketball teams that year kept alive the enthusiasm for which all our teams are well known. and although we were often rated underdogs, we came up with our share of the victories. During the year Brother Beatty, our illustrious English teacherfconducted a class play in which big John Grady was the villain, which wasn't at all like him, and Chuck Gillespie was the hero. Page Ten As the weeks rolled by we found that we were nearing the end of our Sophomore year, which brought us to the midway mark in our high school career. We were slowly but surely learning that discipline was a necessary part of our formal training in high school. Spring brought with it the usual fever which spread rapidly over the campus, but we finally struggled through the final semester tests with dubious thoughts as to the outcome. Some in our ranks, howeyer, couldn't tear them- selves away from school. These joyous young men gladly consented to a session during the summer months, going over again, with glad hearts, certain sections of our plane geometry books. When we returned to the halls of Cathedral High in the fall of '45 we were greeted by some new faces on the faculty. Father Clifford, a wizard in commercial courses, taught us many things by his clever use of fables and rhymes. The size and quality of the band and variety show was greatly increased as Brother Drolet returned to our midst. Mr. Lewis, newly appointed Diocesan Director of Physical Education, assumed the coaching duties va- cated by Johnny Hendricks, and led the fighting Cyclones to the State Tournament at Champaign. Collared shirts and neckties were now in order on the campus-this, need- less to say, we resented. Warren Curtis, Al Schweska, Dick lVlcGlennon, and Bill Harding joined our ranks, but Charles Kohlebecker and Bob Senger left to answer the call of the Marines. The public address system, which was installed during extensive repairs to the building, now kept us within easy call of the inspiring voice of our director, Father Harbauer. Many of our classmates found a new love in the Ro- mance of the Spanish language ably taught by Father Rua. We also learned the fundamentals of the atom bomb from flather Shiels, who seemed far ahead of the time with his t eorles. With tense anticipation, we awaited the fall of '46, We would be seniors. We anticipated the attainment of a hard eamed diploma. Our class, which had dwindled in size from its first year, had not depreciated in quality, We wanted to make this our banner year in everything, and began by having an exceptionally fine football team. We had a few new members on the Faculty. Father Corcoran, a former army Chaplain gave us the proper slant on modem History. Father Bresnahan taught English and Social Science. Father Dougherty taught senior English and gave the Freshmen tlfir fundamentals in sports. Brother Compton taught Freshman mathematics. Now Graduation day is upon us. We are happy that now we may go on to greater things, but look back upon the four happy and profitable years that we spent at Cath- edral High. We know that we shall not be forgotten, and, in turn, will never lose the fond memories we have of a place most dear to our hearts.

A change of status also brought a change of studies, most of them more difficult than we had ever faced before. By October the football season was well under way, with the Junior class contributing its share of men to gre multitude that showed up for the first practice session. Our class officers were also elected during this eventful month -it was a hot race all the way. Returnin November, month of the P oor Souls, brought with it long nights of hard study, and at school fervent prayer for our faithful departed, juniors ordered their class rings towards the end of the month. December was a short and enjoyable month. The Christmas play and part y was a huge success-we l':i:,'e 'Fws-nty-two K TO Tl-IE FUTURE all left on vacation in a happy mood and looked forward to great enjoyment during this blissful season. january is always a black month for juniors. Semester exams brought the scholastic ax down on many necks. Yes,--exams are always tough, aren't they? A brief let down after Examinations--The Cold and Purple Promenade was a great success. Basket- ball was, of course, in full swing by this time, and we finished the season with a good record. Natur- ally, the juniors did their part, Ng rest though. Basketball ended-Baseball began, and again the juniors were a great aid to the coach and team. The Variety Showr went over with a bang-crowds were large. The Junior-Senior prom helped bring the year to a close with many happy memories and anxious thoughts of next year-our great year at Cathedral-yes, our year as Seniors.

Many' of this group were to start their Sopho- more year. Most of our class of last year returned and with them a few welcomed newcomers. Before long, however, the carefree attitude of the summer days was lost in study-and on warm sunny days we still longed for the good old out of doors. VVe soon discovered that the Sophomore year was more than we had expected-so down to hard work for nine months. A few new teachers were assigned to the Sophomores, Father Corcoran in History, Father Bresnahan in Social Science and Brother Stachura in English. As usual, a few of the many Sophomores out for the team played regu- lar varsity ball throughout the season. Unfortunately, two of our classmates received football injuries that kept them on the bench most of the season. We look for a great part in all school activities next year. Sports, of course, are important in all our lives and we hope to have even greater numbers out next year. VVe did our part in the Variety Show and hope, with the help of our teachers and coaches to do even greater things in the years to come when we shall be considered upper classmen at Cathedral High, Page Twenty-six Vice-Presidenl-Donald Sweet SOP!-IGMQRES l-lome Room lnstructorfllather Corcoran First Row: Richard Eddington, William Vetter, George Steinmacher, William Connolly, Robert Fone tana, Lawrence Ecli, Philip Blough.

THLETIC The spirit of the crowd at a football or basketball game is a great asset to the team. Our cheerleaders have helped all of us to maintain that true Cathedral spirit. Splendid work was done by John Ray, Doro- thy Tapocik, Rose Lascody, Dorothy Kervin and Margaret Wetterau. You have seen them in action at all home games but. perhaps, not at close range. Our photographer was fortunate enough to get them to pose for this picture. The girls, of course, are representatives of the Ursuline and Sacred Heart Academies.

The boys always turn out in large numbers for football, basketball and baseballg that is the reason, perhaps, why Cathedral is always able to put a fine team on the field.

These activities, as seen in the following pages are carried on with a spirit of coordination and individual pride. The school paper, the Choral Club. the Band, Orchestra, Yearbook. Study Clubs, Variety Show and dances provide a program for every phase of stu- dent activity. 1 Ppigp I ni't y-One A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE MUSIC The Cathedral High School Glee club IQ46-47 musical year was one of great success. It is a young organization and has just completed its second year. It is a chorus comprised of 65 boys of both mature and unchanged voices and is under the direction of Fathers Loughran and Williams. Singing is encouraged at Cathedral as is shown by the great numbers that turn out for the Variety Show each year, for it is almost TOP PICTURE-CHOIR entirely a musical production. Students, of course, re- ceive scholastic credit for their work throughout the year. During the year they presented programs for the students at numerous assemblies and produced a mar- velous show for the parents at the Christmas party.

This is the second Year Book in the brief history of Cathedral Boys' High School. Tnformality is its goal. The industrious staff of workers. therefore. have tried to picture. as far as possible, the human side of school life, so that in years to come the Catheclralogue may serve as au old family Album. The staff has worked hard to make this Album possible. The Moderator, Father Dougherty, has been a kind and wise advisor, and our thanks to ll. lYassell who ap- pears in few pictures because of his camera work. The fruit of our ef- forts is this annual pictorial. XVC hope you like it. cherish it and prize it highly.
