THE LADIES' AUXILIARY OF CATHEDRAL COLLEGE ACH morning at the beginning of class the students say prayers for the benefactors of the College. To many, these benefactors are a rather vague group. Actually they are made up of a great many generous souls among the clergy and laity, some now long de- ceased, Who, because of their interest in the important work of educating young men for the priesthood, have aided that particular phase of the work carried on by the Preparatory Seminary by their prayers and by their material contributions, large or small. Among these benefactors must be numbered the members of the Ladies' Auxiliary of Cathedral College. Since its organization almost twenty years ago this organization through its sponsorship of various affairs such as Card Parties, Lap Board Parties, Lecture-Concerts, and Plays, has raised for the school close to sixty thousand dollars. Each year the profits of the various undertakings have been turned over to the Rector and used by him for imi- provements in the school building. The Chapel, the Library, the Laboratory, and the Auditorium, have all been substantially helped through the efforts of the Women who make up the Auxiliary. Who are the members of this organization? The mothers, sisters, and relatives of the past and present students of Cathedral and a goodly number of other Women Whose interest in this important educational institution has prompted them to contribute their time and energy toward its success. Many have been members from the time the Auxiliary Was first organized and have seen their sons and relatives raised to the dignity of the priesthood. Each year new blood is added and it is the earnest wish of Monsignor Mcl-lugh that the mother of each student be a member of this group not only because a larger membership means greater material assistance to the College but also because the members come into closer Contact With the Work of the school. lt Was Monsignor McHugh himself Who, with Father Iames A. Smith, first organized the Auxiliary, Later when Father Smith, who had directed its activi- ties, Was made a pastor, Father McHugh became the Moderator and Father Thomas I. Kelly the Treasurer. When Father McHugh Was raised to the Rector- ship of the College, Father Kelly became the Moderator and Father Ambrose C. Gilmartin the Treasurer. The present officers of the Auxiliary are: President, Mrs. lames A. Spell- man, Vice-President, Miss Catherine C. Kelly, Recording Secretary, Miss Mary V. Brosnahanp Financial Secretary, Miss Edith T. Kelly. To them and to all the loyal members of the Auxiliary the College expresses its gratitude and its appreciation of their efforts.

THIRD YEAR-SECTION TWO E have now completed our third successful year at Cathedral-a year which finds us healthier, happier and wiser than ever before. Else Through the untiring efforts of the faculty we have learned about right angles and triangles, conjugations and declensions, inter- nationalism and totalitarianism. There is one thing though, which seems to be in every one of us and that is a feeling of sprinkling the school year with fun and laughter. Our smiling class President, Ed McGinness, has the superman job of preserving order between periods and next to him is our Vice-President, Big Pat Moynihan. Certainly we need a new sentence to express the commendable work our class secretary. Frank McMullen has done. lohn Iinx Heffernan, the actor Hollywood is looking for, gave free movies between classes with his mirrors. Lately he has had competition from other members of the class. Do you see Ioe Lauro, the perfect specimen from Coney Island on the other side of the picture? He ought to shine out because the day we had our pictures taken, loe came to school sporting a snappy suit. Dan Head Leahy always had his lunch eaten before this certain loe. One day Danny spiced his sandwiches with soap. Ioe took a healthy bite and-well, you know how one reacts to a mouth- ful of soap. KNO wonder they call him the Head. l Such members of our class as Pete Arcario, john Heffernan, lohn Henry, Francis Curran, Iohn Abrams, Bob Goodwin and Ed Starr made commendable efforts in delivering their speeches. In the school oratorical contest Pete Arcario showed such poise and gave such a fiery and emphatic speech that he was chosen the best public speaker of Third Year. Although we did not win the intermural basketball championship, still we did rank high in the class standings. This is due to the playing ability of Vin Kelly, Bill Fleming, Gene Muntzner, Iohn Dacey, Iohn McElligott, loe Lauro, Dan Leahy, Ed Starr, Frank McMullen, Ed Muhs and Pat Moynihan. Bob Fitzpatrick, Tom Sharkey, Frank McLernon, Ioe Deegan and Iohn Snyder gave their support to our lunior Varsity Basketball team. Contact: Danny Beyer would like to know of someone who he could defeat in handball. Every day around eleven-thirty when Pete Y-Xrcario peels his orange, Ed Browne turns around for a slice or two. Phil Charles roams around the room to Contact his friends. Every day he seems to have another seat. Bob Fitzpatrick, Crusher Roberts, Ed McGinness, Marty Dennehy and lohn Gal- lagher form the lncorporated French Broadcasting System. Whenever someone is on the spot for an answer they do anything from holding up objects to turning themselves into contortions in order to give him a hint as to the answer. Bow Tie Fogarty, the pigeon man and sound effects man McCarthy are two fellows we couldn't do without. What would the class be like if George l-loefner didn't break up a class disturbance with quit hors'in around. Commodore McMullen and General O'Neill are busy preparing their armies and navies of paper boats and planes to help MacArthur. This, my dear reader, is a bird's-eye view of the personalities and happen- ings of our class. We as a class of Cathedral wish to thank all our professors who have helped us progress both spiritually and intellectually along the road Of life- iosEPH GRAU, '45. CATHIEDRAL COLLEGE ANNUAL
