Jim Sdwnl, Zhww mi 7945 - 7946 . . . was a memorable year: This was The first peace time school year in a long time, it was the last year of office at S. S. High for our dear Prin- cipal, it was the year in which so great an honor befell the metropolitan area of The city, Detroit and The Catholic world, in raising Archbishop Edward Mooney to the Sacred 4Ti4 fri vi K 1, V sat M5 L1illOl'l N ul fy f - ,....,ggP igitcc L ,f-2255, X A if T 'P'T ' 41 A X I 3 X h tsl: A ,4 T itll ff lr f T it f itll ' 3 Tir til. if li , f ' l'l'lii', lW.i, llj l llltil ,Q if 1 tg i it is 'ii 1 it ll' , it P fb I Ll inf V I ',,f I if Lqmm, EW 'V.

For these reasons we decided To give a longer than usual introduction with a bird's-eye view of the highlights and then cover the most sig- nificant trends and events of the year, for this book is a record of the year. The ten years brought many changes. The high school grew. ln the last ten years the enrollment doubled. There were 260 pupils in T936 and there are 550 in 1946 and it is the Pastor's hope to have 700 in l948. The curriculum has been increased and modified to meet the situation. Many extra-curricular ac- tivities have been added which provided an outlet for varied interests. Athletics has made a record for itself, missing State Championship iust by an inch. There issomething, however, that remains the same. The S. S. High Way was, is, and will always be the Catholic way in education. Page 4 Underlying its noteworthy success are two im- portant factors-the Christian philosophy of life which embraces all reality, spiritual as well as material, eternal as well as temporal, including the aims, obiectives, methods and ideals which during the l5 years have consistently produced men and women of outstanding excellence in every field of human endeavor. S. S. High strives first and foremost to de- velop men and women of strong moral char- acter and personal integrity and sends into the world individuals who in full sense of The word know how to live as well as how to make a living. Hence the school contributes not only to personal success and happiness but to the common welfare and destiny of mankind. The future of it? With continued God's blessing and help, with the conc'erted action of the student body, able support of our Alumni, direction and understanding of the faculty and able supervision and management by the Pastor and his assistants . . . what a glorious picture of development and growth for the good old' S. S. High!

HIS EMINENCE . . . CARDINAL MOONEY On December 23, 1945, Archbishop Mooney was -designated by Pius XII to the Sacred College of Cardinals, and on February 21 he received the Red Hat from the hands of the Holy Father. The Arch- bishop was one of the four of our country to be elevated to the distinctive rank of the Prince of the Church. Detroit considers this elevation a high tribute to the long and great history of Catholicism and to the city itself and admitted that this event was far more than the invocation of sacred ritual that is centuries- old. It symbolized, with historic implication, the desperate need, in this chaotic postwar world, for the ageless function, and the exalted place of re- ligion in the life of mankind. But it is no less a tribute to the man who has been thus honored. His personal qualities of leader- ship, his striking achievements, and, indeed, his life of service merited the distinction that has come to him. He has served his Church long and well as a church dignitary, scholar and statesman. We, the youth of his Archdiocese, are proud that we are fortunate in claiming for our own Cardinal a personality so dynamic in all things civic, so deep in all things religious, so concerned in all that is good for man. We give him a pledge of loyalty, the promise of cbedience, the spirit of whole-hearted cooperation in all works for the greater Glory of God, for the salvation of souls and for the betterment, the peace and prosperity of our city. May God bless the fruits of his labor and in His wisdom guide him and protect him and keep him with us for many, many years to come. P11 fl
