A' 225742225 FGREWCJRD The driving force of the American nation has always been the quest for adventure. Beginning with the hazard- ous voyage of Columbus and continuing forward to in- clude the perilous undertakings of space exploration, the American people have sought out danger and courted her for no other reason than that it was an adventure. Together with the search for excitement, Americans have always been willing to tempt fate to advance their country. With their firm belief in the ultimate success of their undertakings, the American people have always been characterized by this almost arrogant self-confi- dence. The phrase, Fortune favors the bold, has be- come more than a belief-it is an American fact. Each student must eventually pass into the adult world and leave forever behind the fond memories of an ad- venturous youth. However, this period was but a prepar- ation for a still greater enterprise in the future. The ad- venture of life is infinitely more alluring, more exciting, and more fascinating than ever the dreams during youth could make it seem. The real adventure is just about to begin with the same magnitude and importance as the voyage of Columbus or the space walks of the astronauts. It is up to the youth of today to carry on these tasks and advance the prestige of themselves and their nation. This is truly the adventure of life.

The Most Reverend John Francis Whealon has shown a great interest in Prep since his arrival early in 1967. He has brought with him many of the progressive ideas of youth and a multitude of talents. His Excellency is noted as a scholar, teacher, Biblical expert, linquist, administrator, and, perhaps most important to us, one who understands young people. His years as a teacher and rector of a seminary have gained for him this very neces- sary and vital understanding. Bishop Whealon is a light to guide the way for the students of Cathedral Prep. He is yet another from whom we can learn to prepare ourselves for life as adults in a world in which his noble examples can give us the strength we need to do what is right. Youth is, perhaps, one of his most appeal- ing characteristics especially for teen-agers, who can more easily identify to one who is nearer to their own age. His Excellency is truly a voice crying in the wilderness to make ready the way of the Lord, and it is the young men of Prep who must hear his voice and must follow his ex- ample if they are to compete in the ultimate adventure-to know Christ.
