BELICIUN HND SOCllll. SCIENCES The most important department in the curricu- lum at Cathedral Prep is Religion. The objective of the course is to give the student adequate knowl- edge of the Religious truths of his Catholic faith. We pride ourselves in the fact that so many Prepsters catch the Religious spirit and make a sincere effort to live as practical Catholics. Here we are taught the basic principles by Priests who have dedicated their lives to knowing and serving God. The Sacraments, Friday Mass, and weekly religious bulletins give adequate ave- nues of expression for what we have learned in formal classroom sessions. Supplementing the program in Religion is the course in Social Studies. Here we learn of the major forces which have shaped the lives of men from the beginning. The story of our own national development into the great United States of the twentieth century unfolds before us. Thus equipped with satisfactory moral and historical background, we are prepared for the Senior course in Social Problems where the philosophy of Catholic life is presented to us as a means of finding proper moral and social application in current world and national problems. How well we learn to follow these teachings in Religion and Social Studies will bear heavily upon our material success in this life and govern our place in eternity. Perhaps the entire purpose behind our education at Prep can best be expressed in the words: As you live, so shall you die! Rev. IOHN D Dnmszrwsxr Rsv. IOSEPH T. DUNN A.B., S.T.B. O.S.F.S., A.B., M.E.

E 4' ATHLETIC IIIRECTIIR The success that our athletic teams of recent seasons have enjoyed is due, to a great extent, to the efforts of our athletic director, REV. IAMES I. GAN- NON. His foresight in developing a sports program among our Catholic grade schools is beginning now to bear fruit in the ever-improving teams here at Father lim and lack Early, vice- president of the Prep Dads' Club, take time out from their conversation to look at the photographer and watch for the birdie. THE SECBETHRIES The secretarial staff, composed of MRS. ROSEMARY MALONEY t upper Ieftl, Mas. Doms COUGHLIN tupper rightl. Miss CATHERINE Gus- TAFSON flower leftl, and MISS DORIS O'r'r flower rightl, perform their daily duties cheerfully and efficiently amid the confusion of a ram- bunctious student body. Capable of almost any type of work, the girls can be counted on to serve at a banquet, advise on Prom decora- tions, or pick out a gilt for some ailing student or teacher. Their attendance to duty and spirit of helpfulness will long be appreciated. Prep. A tireless worker in an all but thankless job. Father lim strives to help players, coaches, faculty. and fans get the most out of Prep sports. We thank him for his efforts which have contributed so im- measurably to our athletic success.
