Colors: SILVER and GREEN Flower: PINK CARNATION Motto: WE LABOR NOT FOR TIME BUT FOR ETERNITYU Four years ago we entered the friendly portals of Cathedral. We, Freshmen, then thought we were quite important and intelligent. But to the Upperclassmen at that time our behavior was not more than that of a typical Freshie'. Young and inexpe- rienced, we proved to be foolish often by bothering the wise Sophs, the sophisticated Juniors and even the dignified Seniors with our childish pranks. We showed further evidence of lighmess of mind by not listening to the advice of others more experienced ang, grgqulently, we were caught napping and suffered repeatedly perhaps the down- a o ai ure. As the months rolled by, we found ourselves taking a. step higher, we were at last-Sophomores! This was considered by us as a huge advance in our career and made us feel as though we were 'old timers' around the school. Our studies im- proved notably as wise Sophs, but that glory perhaps-and history repeats itself- could not fit evenly in our heads. We thought ourselves to be Wise while we were still acting very unwisely. Another run of the calendar and we found ourselves at the dizzy height of the Junior class. Starting the year with many resolutions we were surprised at the' end that a great trend towards seriousness of thought had developed in our minds. We had settled down and had gradually begun to possess that air of dignity which our teachers had longed to see in us. Sophisticatiopn was conspicuous in our behavior but a greater thoroughness in our work was also noticed. A year of Time had gone by, a year that was to be no more! And now, our joy was that of entering the last year of our high school. Through- out this last year our endeavor was to 'do a good job' of all that was asked of us. Dignity, the pride of the 'Senior' was our characteristic mark. Happiness blended with our dignified demeanor and seriousness of thought claimed possessiofn of our hearts and minds from the first day as Time marched on. Amid this happiness there has crept, as we ,near the end, a little spot of sadness for we must leave behind friends of whom wehave grown so fond in past years. So the school year has ended and we must leave you, Friend, you who have sheltered us and lent us a willing helping hand. We are going. Rut where are we going 'Z-What shall we do? That we' must answer ourselves. We depart, but one lesson above all we have gathered and sealed within our hearts,- We labor not for Time but for Eternity --we must not work and toil and suffer only for flerting Time but for the great Beyond. Seneca, the ancient philosopher said, No price is an equivalent for Time , but Divine Wisdom also said, What doth it profit a man to gain the whole world .... The importance of one is great, that of the other is infinitely greater. We labor not for Time' but for Eternity. With this our motto still ringing in our ears we take one last, llngerng look at you, Friend, before' We leave-Our Best Friend and Teacher-Cathedral High. Eighteen EL 1 ll
