foreword Memories are priceless; so is this lxx k. Limited in size and space, it is, nevertheless, an attempt to present the history of our senior year at Cathedral 1 ligh School. We cannot truthfully claim that it is in any way a complete history. Rather is it a presentation ol glimpses into the happy memories of the past school year. We sincerely hope you will enjoy these recollections and participate in our re-living of them. It is a difficult thing to present SPIRIT and COOPERA¬ TION as they are so abstract. Family spirit as manifested through¬ out the entire student body, that healthful interest in the welfare of each and every one of the Crusaders from the youngest to the oldest; that something which moves all to participate in the Irc- quent reception of the Sacraments, to work with one another and for one another, to pray lor one another; that deep and solid love for Our I leavenly Mother; that spirit of the apostolate; these are the things we would we might depict, but how futile! These live only in our memories and we are sorry you cannot enter there. What we herewith present, we sincerely hope you enjov. I Iere and there let us tarry awhile. But let us read on!
