DEDICATION.. We, the Seniors of 1941, pass through the portals ot our Alma Mater, leaving behind records, tlu greatest in the school ' s history. As we leave we pause and think for a few moments on the aid and help that the President of our High School has so gener¬ ously given us during the past four years. Charac- teristic of his cheerful aid are the policies he has es¬ tablished here at Cathedral. He realizes the fact that the young man of today enters upon a world where a complex society is be¬ ing rushed in the flood of false theories and philos¬ ophies. To prepare the High School student to en¬ ter such a society, Monsignor Mueller has provided for these everchanging needs of his students here at Cathedral. His program prepares them for the great human adventure called living, where sound principles, pat¬ terns, and designs for a happy, effective and success¬ ful life must be formed in the preparing interlude. The foundations for such a life has been built through his aid and leadership during our four years spent here at Cathe dral. So we, the Seniors of 1941, pause to dedicate this, “The Crusader” of ' 41, to Right Reverend Mon¬ signor Mueller for the aid and leadership he has given us, and for the always sound designs for living successfully and effectively, which were instilled in our minds here at Cathedral High.

FOREWORD... We, the Staff of 1941, have the honor of present ' ing to you, this, the Tenth volume of the Cathedral Annual. As our theme we have chosen the Cru- sader, the Knight of God. The name “Crusader” has played a major part in our years at Cathedral. The title was given to the student publication, and the athletic teams, and we feel no better theme could be applied. The purpose of this publication is to show you the “Crusader” in his spiritual, scholastc, athletic and social life, and to introduce the Cathedral boy to you. He seriously devotes his time to the better ment of his life, that he might be a citizen of whom his country may be proud. All of his daily actions are directed towards the end of upholding his beliefs, to honor and adore his God, and to do his part in National Defense should the safety and well-being of his country demand it Page Three

OUR SCHOOL • • • The High School Expansion Pro ' gram has introduced to Cathedral the most modern in school classrooms and equipment. The new addition, coiv sisting in a Classroom, Office, Record room. Library, Commercial room. Band room, Chemistry lab and a Physics lab, plus the remodeling of the old section, has added a new spirit to school life. The proposed gynv nasium would permit the addition of a new course, that of physical culture, and would give the basketbal team an unequalled floor. The boys who still have a year or more to enjoy these facilities can truly be envied by the graduates of ' 41. Though we are graduating this year we will always have reasons to be proud of our Cathedral, our Alma Mater, our School. Page Five
