Note: The derivation of the term "Ceralbus" is attributed to Will Hoist, Class of 1911. He combined the Latin word "cerulean," meaning blue, with the Latin word "Albus," meaning white and created a new word, "Ceralbus," cleverly denoting the school's colors. The school's mascot has also been attributed to Hoist, who kept a pet bulldog at home.
