cvaewafwi We, the class of 1954, are the trail breakers. The path we cut will in a few years be a broad highway of knowledge. A modern concrete or asphalt highway bears little remembrance of the Indian who first blazed a trail through the virgin forest, yet, this obscure Indian set the direction of the great highway. In time, the class of 1954 like the Indian will be forgotten, but the trail we blaze will still be followed by the future students of Catholic Central. Now that we have reached the end of our first year at Muskegon Catholic Central, we must ask ourselves what we leave behind us. We are leaving traditions and customs which will be carried on by future generations of Catholic Central students. We have attempted to portray these activities in the Crusader, Catholic Central's first annual. Those who follow us will break trail into a new tomorrow. It is our hope that the trail we have broken proves true and useful, it is our prayer that the great highway we all follow will lead through time to God's eternity. - James Guimond
