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

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.

HIS EXCELLENCY... The Most Reverend Henry Alt ' hoff, Bishop of Belleville since 1914, assistant at the Pontifical Throne and member of the Papal Household. The passing of time has not served to dim the ardor of His Excellency in following the admonition of our Divine Savior: Going therefore teach ye all nations. . His has been a continued interest in the advancement of educational institutions in the Belleville Diocese and particularly our own. Through his encouragements and blessings, Cathedral High School has continued to grow in enrollment and material equipment. This year marked the addition of six new classrooms to our school. A gymnasium is to be added soon to aid in the physical upbuilding of the students. Although we of this year s graduating class will not benefit directly by these addi ' tions we are proud to see our school grow. We are grateful to His Excellency for making Cathedral High a bigger and better educational institution. Page Six
