FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY AS A PRIEST ARCHBISHOP KARL J AiIAR, ARCHBISIiOP or CINCINNATI. DEDICATION 1960, in addition to being the year in which the new St. Xavier High School was officially opened, was the fiftieth anniversary in the priesthood 0f the man to whom we are much indebted for the new schoolis existence-Archbishop Karl J. Altar. Early in 1956 the Archbishop realized that the areais Catholic high schools would have to be greatly expanded in order to compensate for the demands of the increasing enrollment. With this view in mind, he initiated a fund-raising drive in which he collected over eight million dollars. From this fund the Archbishop gave to Fr. Benson, the president of St. Xavier almost two million dollars, the amount needed to start construction on the new St. Xavier. On November 6, 1960, the Jesuit Order gratefully bestowed on him the title of Founder of St. Xavier High School. He shall be remembered as long as there is a St. Xavier. To him we dedicate the 1961 X-Raye Archbishop Karl J. Altar, fifty years a priest, thirty years a bishop, ten years an Archbishop, Founder of St. Xavier High School. On October 23, 1960, His Eminance, Archbishop Karl J. Altar, officiated at the dedication of the new building.

This is the first year in the history of the new St. Xavier High. In one year. St. Xavier has progressed from the A 4 most outdated school in the city to the most modern. Through the year, we have all been amazed by the wonders the new school presented. At first, it did not seem like the same old St. Xavier. True, the courses were the same; the teachers were the same; the fellow students were the same. And yet, there seemed to be something missing. But then, as we gradually accustomed ourselves to the absence of downtown noise and smog, we began to enjoy our new surroundings. We were thankful that St. X lost none of its rich olditradition in the process of moving to these new quarters. And we realized that we were the ones who would set the example for future stu- dents 0f the new St. Xavierewe were the ones who would found the new tradition. -Hm...m,..- hmer
