November also marked the appearance ol the paper ' s first edition, which initiated its new col- unuis: Static Statistics, Current Fads ol the (irads, and Frf)m the Masters. (ireatly enhancing the Calhr- (Imlilc this year ha e been the illusirations by ovir talented newcomer, Betty Walch. Due to Betty ' s artistic efforts, the paper has been made one of the most inleresting in the city. During the month of December the staff again attended a comention — this time held by The Catholic School Press Association. Following this, the Cathedralite spon- sored an Autobiography Contest, and the response among the student body was unprecedented in Cathedral ' s an- nals. Fhroughout the year, many other projects were lealured by tlie pajjer, and all became success! ul. The seniors of 1942 have set a high mark for the fol- lowing class to surpass. Perhaps it will seem sentimental to say that we regret giving up our places as staff members, and that ' e will always remendjcr and be proud of oin- four editions of the Cdllieditilile.

UNITY FOR VICTORY ;v Mar(;aret Cummins, ' 43 In 1456. when the Bible was taken from the jninting press, a means of educating the world had been dexised. ' hen the first radio sent forth its message, a means of conunimication with other parts of the ■world vas completed. These vere the dreams of dreamers come true. Call it a bond of union or a miracle of invention; essentially it was the right of one human being to know another. The right of an . merican to shake hands with a Chinaman, and, although they had never met be- fore, to feel that they were l)rolhers. In the United States, the courageous of all nations were brothers. They built their log houses together, they hoped together, they prayed together, they thanked Cod together. They crossed the mountains, cu t down forests, himted and planted and built a ne v nation of brothers. But as time went on, this order changed. In the North there were now factories employing people: there were the cotton planters in the Soiuh: in the ' West the hardv men tinned the soil of new states and in the East the fishermen were pulling in the net and casting the rod. VV e spread out over a vast land. Different occupations called us. dillerent ways of life. We were separated as never before. The people in ihe West forgot about their neighbors in the East. How long could a nation so divided in opinion and ihought hold together as one? The years passed s viftly. A s siem of smooth high vays ran across the nation. The businessman of the North ' as now walking along the palm lined streets of Florida and the farmer or cattleman of the West was asking an Easterner the be st wav to catch a trout.
