RED & GOLD THE COMMUNITY MAGAZINE of CATHEDRAL SCHOOL FOR BOYS
Editor’s Note
2017 marked Cathedral School for Boys’ 60th anniversary—affording the School a chance to celebrate our founding, reflect on our success, revel in the sense of community built over six decades, and imagine our next 60 years. And so too does this edition of the Red&Gold . While the Red&Gold magazine’s aim has always been to tell the School’s story—its past, its present, and its future in this issue, we had the unique chance to feature a wide variety of community voices from various decades. And we took full advantage of the opportunity! We believe it is important to celebrate Cathedral’s rich history; however, it is equally important that we look forward to the future. The pieces inside this issue strike this balance; from Tara Boland’s feature—The History of Cathedral School for Boys: “Minds, Hearts, Hands, Voices”— that celebrates our past, to Timmy Stabler’s and Trevor Traina’s profiles that allow us to revel in our current success, to Headmaster Jones’ article—“A Space to Learn”—that helps us imagine a future Cathedral. After reading this issue of the Red&Gold, we hope you will come away with a deeper understanding of who we are along with the knowledge that the minds, hearts, hands, and voices of the Cathedral community remain resolute. What we share across the generations binds us together as a community in common vision and purpose. Cheers,
