Cretin High School,: Most Rev
erend Archbishop Bowling delivered
the address to the graduates at the
commencement exercises held at the
st. Paul Auditorium Friday evening
May rs, in the presence of large
audience of the parents and friends OF
the students and the institution. The
military drills which formed the first
part of the program were executed
with fine precision, and at their con-
clusion the Cretin r. o. T. c.. Unit
was complimented by the review Off
Ger, Col. E. l.. Butts, U. S. Army,
Minnesota National Guard instructor.
Archbishop Bowling said that the
life and movement shown by the drill
features were symbolical of the spirit
of Cretin High School, which during
the fifty years of it's career had not
only surpassed all expectations of
gratified parents but had been big
factor in contributing to the public
welfare of the community at large.
He congratulated the parents and
commended the energy and self
sacrifice of the Christian Brothers for
their part in the uniform success Of
the institution.
Turning to the graduating class, His
Grace told them that after witnessing
the, splendid results of physical and
outward training, we like to notice
and discover the corresponding spir-
itual effects of discipline and the
habit of obedience to command,
| which must be seen in mind and heart.
In school like theirs, he said, the
| Flag is unfolded daily for their hon.
age, side by side with the symbol of
their religion, for it is religion that
| must give quality to patriotism.
His Grace counseled the cultivation
| of studious and earnest habits of life,
| and warned against the frivolous
spirit that moves so many young peo-
and develop the seeds of true educa-
ton implanted in boyhood, so that
they may be men of high character,
particularly in things of the spirit.
Politics are often laughed about,
said the Archbishop, but it is duty
of citizenship to take an interest in
politics and in government. The
| young man ought to regard it as a
sacred duty to discharge with good
judgment and conscientiousness his
duties as citizen and to lend his aid
in keeping politics clean and of high
standard There is too great
tendency, he said, to speak of every
thing in terms of money; men are
so keen about money nowadays as tC
disregard all else entirely. BE hon.
est, be square and demand square
ness. Stand for justice. Go out from
your Alma Mater" he concluded, "as
a fresh stream of joy into the com
munity, with the blessings of you
:. teachers and your friends"
