To Thee, O holy Mary, my glorious Queen; to thy blessed trust and special charge and to the bosom of thy mercy, this day and every day, and at the hour of my death, I commend myself, my soul and my body. To thee I commit all my hope and my consolation, my distresses and my miseries, my life and the end thereof, that through thy most holy intercession and through thy merits, all my actions may be directed and disposed according to thy will and that of thy Divine Son.

Your Excellency, Most Reverend Bishop Zuroweste: The senior class of Cathedral High School, mindful of your interest in our temporal and spiritual welfare, wish to signify by these pages that your concern for us has been gratefully accepted. Dedicating this book to our Blessed Mother, we wish to announce publicly our devotion to her — a devotion awakened at our Mother ' s knee, enlivened in the halls of our Catholic elementary schools and rendered fruitful at Cathedral. Four years under the tutelage of the Brothers of Mary have made us cognizant of our duties to God and our neighbor. We feel that, under their guidance, we have been prepared to face the vicissitudes of life in a Christian manner. We thank you for having made possible our education in Catholic schools. We hope that with the years we may grow in stature and grace so completely that, years hence, the Church and our country may point to us with pride and say, there go Cathedral men! Gratefully yours, The Seniors.

CRUSADER OF THE YEAR Among these memoirs none can hold more attraction than the enviable exploits of the Man of the Year, Jack Sch- rand, whose picture on this page is evidence of four years well-spent in his alma mater. For God and country may his life be spent with the same verve and enthusiasm that characterized his years at Cathedral.
