NO EXCEPTION-The central point ot most Kentucky towns is the courthouse. Seniors Rice and Emmick. and iunior Eidt are back- dropped by the Nelson County hall ot iustice at Third and Stephen Foster Avenue. ' 'ifavm This is a sacred state. lt has a wealth ot Catholic vigor and history. Such was the comment ot Most Reverend Diomede Fa1conio,'Aposto1ic Delegate to the United States, when he visited Kentucky in Sep- tember, 1911, to preside at the opening ot St. 1oseph's Preparatory School. With a Proto-Cathedral and tive mother houses ot religious orders in the immediate vicinity ot Bardstown, the area has con- tributed greatly to early American church history. The legendary and historic lore surrounding Louis Philippe, lohn Fitch, and Stephen Foster also show the im- portant role Bardstown once played in the drama of the Ohio Valley. INSPIRINGAince its consecration August 8, 1819, St. Ioseph's Cathedral has been lifting men's minds to God. This church, the first Catholic cathedral west oi the Alleghanies, is the setting oi Prep commencements.
