Cathedral High School, published six times a year by the class in Journalism. Established four years ago, it has enjoyed growing popularity ever since. Brother Michael Brangan, Journalism instructor, served as faculty advisor to this year ' s staff which was composed of Seniors and Juniors. Kenneth Kain and Richard Wuller were co ' editcrs; James Kohl was elected associate editor. Changes in layout and the introduction of new features received favorable comment from the stU ' dents. Columnists, Joseph Hausmann, Cletus Wit ' tenauer, Robert Baechle, and Kenneth Lanter, com ' posed the “Senior Snatches”, “Freshmen Flashes ' , “Soph Soap”, and “Junior Jibes”, individual class columns that replaced the outmioded humor strip. The introduction of a student poll to each issue, the use of more cuts, the sketches by Raymond Kuehn, all added to the reader interest of the publication. Norm Hoff ' s sports section, appearing under a new mast ' head designed by Kuehn, was also very popular. The technicalities connected with the problem of finance were ably disposed of by the Business Manager, Theodore Gundlach, and the Circulation Manager, John Homrighausen. Twice in the past three years the “Crusader” has captured All ' Catholic honors; it is hoped that it will repeat this year. But whether it does or not, at least it may be said of it, that this year ' s “Cru ' sader” served its purpose as a student publication. Page Twent ' threc

DEBATE • • • The topic for debate selected for this year, “Resolved: that the Power of the Federal Government Should be Increased , covered much territory. So did the debaters. Competing in two leagues and in two tournaments, they made frequent trips in order to engage in interlocutory contests with students of schools in this area. In a tournament at St. Louis U. High School, they finished fourth among twenty ' three participating teams.

The squad this year was composed of three Seniors, John Homrighausen, Kenneth Kain, and Richard Wuller; one Junior, James Kohl, and two Soph omores, Dennis Griffin and Joseph Fenoughty. The services of James Kohl, probably the team ' s best speaker, were lost at mid-season, when a serious illness forced him to leave school. Brother Robert Wagner, coach, deserves much credit for the success the boys achieved. Page Twenty ' tu ■»

Only two yeans ago the Cathedral Mothers ' Club was organized to work for the bet ' terment of our school and have since that time accomplished much. The Club has had for its officers during the past year Mrs. Paul Bccherer, President; Mrs. Frank Dahm, Vice-President: Mrs. Paul Wuller, Treasurer, and Mrs. Beno Gund- lach, Secretary. They bought a movie projector and public address system, supplied the band with flashy new uniforms, gave the Seniors a Prom and procured many other things for the school, but space does not permit a full account. To the Mothers ' Club we express our sincere thanks. May their unselfish service continue to aid tjjose who follow in our footsteps! Mothers 1 Club... The Lettermen ' s Club, inactive at Cathedral High for several years, has been re¬ organized through the efforts of several “C wearers. The first and foremost purpose of the organization is to further the cause of athletics at Cathedral. Executive members of the Club are Lettermen: Paul Lugge, President; Norm Hoff, Vice-President; William Luby, Secretary; Willard Conrath, Treasurer; James Schmidt, Pub¬ licity Agent, and Dan Lauer, Sergeant-at-Arms. The most successful enterprise undertaken was the roller skating party which netted them $25.00. This money was turned over to the Cathedral Athletic Fund. They were also very active in heading the publicity campaign for the Second Annual Boxing Tournament and the Senior Minstrel, the proceeds of which were placed in the fund for the construction of a new gymnasium for Cathedral High School.
