OUR CLASS PATRON Sir Galahad VVho has not heard of that great knight of old, Six' Galahad, the hero, the true man, the perfect type of living, pulsating virtue! VVhen the Senior Club was organized, it was decided to choose a patron for the young men of the class. Future poets, inventors, and national benefactors must have a fitting model, one with courage, intellect, but above all, one full of faith. Sir Galahad possessed all these and we chose him as our patron. Some- one may ask, Why choose a person like this old-fashioned story-book knight? Why not a modern man, a brainy man, one who stands out head and shoulders above his fellowmen, a philanthropist, a great public benefactor? Not once do they even think of saying one with a great living faith. Ignorant people might speak thus. Listen to what Father Daniel Lord, the renowned Jesuit Playwright, wrote in a personal letter to the undersigned: I am delighted to find that you have taken Sir Galahad for your patron because he is so fine a representative of what chivalry should be, and because there has been an inclination to belittle him among some 'smart' modern writers. We agree with Father Lord, for we who are about to leave our Alma Mater, the Catholic Central High School, have been taught to look beneath the surface of things. Deeply has it been impressed on our minds, that brains and brawn are something, that wealth and station are something, but that Faith and cour- age and virtue are everything. Each one of us longs for successg of each one of us may it be said, some day, that we were a shining beacon light, lighting the path of less favored fellow-mortals, but of none of us ,let it be recorded, that in order to achieve this success, we deviated from the path marked out for :is by our patron, the pure maiden knight whose strength was as the strength of ten, because his heart was pure. Twelve Senior Boys we are, twelve Sir Galahads let us be, at the desk, in the workshop, in the home! -CARL SUPER '28. TWENTY-ONE
