Yesterday's history was measured by war. Its dates were the dates of battles. Its names were the names of generals. World VVar I, to make the world safe for democ- racy was fought with Yankee courage and valor. But the idealism of Wilson faded fast. His Fourteen Points, his League of Nations, his restoration and his Euro- pean food programs were, like those of many leaders, soon rejected and forgotten. The years that followed were mixed years of dis- illusionment, prohibition, woman suffrage, labor strife, organized crime, and jazz. The watchwords were to be found in personal liberty and rugged individualism. St. Catherine's Military School pursued its objec- tives, instilling its principles, and keeping the same warm light burning in the window of the soul. In 1914, five boys graduated: Clifford Keller, Louie Beller, Iames Maglio, Ioseph Lore, and Wm. DeFerge. 5

A decade after the school opened, a second wing was added, seven years later the first Chapel. In 1924, the old wooden wing was demolished and work was commenced on a new one. Subsequently a new dormitory, a swimming pool, and a Iunior High School were built. The dining room was refurnished, the yard cemented, and work on a new infirmary begun in l926. Building buildings to the Dominicans is a pre- requisite to building boys. But on Black Thursday, An air picture of St.Catherine's band as it played in parade, Armistice Day, 1930, Anaheim.
