On the afternoon of September 1, 1905, the first Brothers of Mary arrived Irom Dayton, Ohio, to take over the upper grades and to inaugurate a commercial high her 1 at the Cathedral. Brothers Charles Aul, 1 homas Seebald and Philip Fink were the pi oneers. I he Very Reverend H. J. Hagen, pastor, had negotiated getting the Brothers and he and the Right Reverend Bishop Janssen welcomed them most cordially. CLASSES GET UNDERWAY Venerable William Joseph Chaminade, founder of the brothers of Mary , preached an intense filial piety toward Our Blessed Mother, and our teachers continue to instill that love of a son for His Mother. I he above portrait of Father Chaminade was painted by Bay Kuehn, a grad of 1941 and presented to the librarian through the generosity of Mr. Kenneth Kain and Mr. Kuehn. epidemic of scarlet fever closed the school twice durii February 3 till March 2, 1913 and again from Marc] School opened September 6, 1905 with an attendance of 129 pupils. As the commercial high department increased the grades were gradually taken over by the School Sisters of Notre Dame save for the eighth grade which the Brothers retained until 1932. Father Joseph Schlarmann advised the organization of a regular high school in the scholastic year 1923-24 so the commercial high was discontinued. I he first group of four-year men was graduated in 1927. Brother Charles, the first principal re¬ mained until 1910 when he was succeeded by Brother Custavus I letterich who guided the school for the next three years. An Brother Gustavius’ last year at Cathedral. From 20 till April 2 classes were dismissed. MORE TRIALS TO ENDURE Brother Francis Weber, who a year or two ago celebrated his diamond jubilee as a religious, held the position as principal from 1913 till 1923. During the trying years of the first great war Brother Francis had many difficulties with which to contend. The school playground had to be leveled. The influenza epidemic closed Cathedral’s doors again in October 1918. Conditions became so serious that the Health Department forbade any public gatherings and the school hall was used as an emergency hospital where some seven deaths occurred—the school janitor being among them. Classes had resumed on November 25 hut were forced to close again on December 6 not to reopen until the early part of January, 1919. Brother Charles Kirsting took over as principal in September 1923 when the regular high school was begun with an enrollment of 78 pupils. Including the grades still conducted by the Brothers the total en¬ rollment was 164 boys. Unfortunately, Brother Charles was stricken with paralysis on January 27, 1925. Brother John Hettich replaced him and continued to serve until 1931. During Brother John’s tenure of oi l ice the enrollment was constant hut small. The bui ding was extensively remodeled during the summer of 1929 when new maple floors were laid in all the roams and new desks added much to the comforts of the students. SERIOUS MISFORTUNE DISAPPEARS—REAL PROGRESS IS AT HAND When school opened in 1931 Brother Ambrose Loasbrock was here as dean. He retained the office until 193 . Monsignor Schlarmann had in the meantime become Bishop of Peoria and was succeeded bv Father Joseph M. Mueller as pastor of the Cathedral and President of Cathedral High School. Father Mueller was made a Right Reverend Monsignor in May 1939. Cathedral has made great strides since the able hand of Father Mueller has been guiding it. ( Continued to last page )

foreword In this advanced age of ours when scientific achievement mounts well neigh to the throne of the Almighty through the tapping ol atomic energy, we, the graduates of Cathedral High School, realizing lull well the import of such discoveries, still are not blinded by the sudden Hash of its brilliance. 1 here is still a power in this world of ours which controls the destinies of men— MOTHER. We, therefore, consider it a distinct privilege to have been able to dedicate this lx ok of souvenirs to our Mothers, who, thinking sufficient ol the commands of the Creator, saw fit to bring us into the world and rear us in the fear anti love of God and His Blessed Mother. Cognizant of the fact that under the plea of scientific, social and economic advancement, the worldly wise of this great nation of ours are leagueing them¬ selves with the subtle Satanic forces of a Mrs. Sanger, whose dissemination ol information for Planned Parenthood is rapidly taking its toll of souls and citizens. We have been impelled to protest the outrage ol said organization brazenly celebrating its silver anniversary—a jubilee celebrating the moral murder of a people. The devil and his colleagues must indeed have rejoiced that morality has come to such a pass! “I will put enmitv between thee and the woman; between thy seed and her seed and she shall crush thy head.” Realizing the power and strength of our Blessed Mother and knowing her mission in the world ol today we have joined forces with her. We have consecrated ourselves to her service and honor. Ours is, therefore, a crusading spirit. It is with the greatest of pleasure we herewith present The Crusaders.
