Q
-1 .. cg, '
Todiiiffllas ever, the world is searching frantically for the
key to unlock the door of peace. It is groping desperately in
the darkening shadows of war for that evasive keyhole. But all
the keys in the world have thus far failed to turn the magic
latch that will swing open to all the door of security and hope
and happiness. For that key is not the golden key of oratory
or the leaden key of military might. The key to world peace
was given to mankind so many hundreds of years ago by the
Redeemer, speaking in His Sermon on the Mount, to all the gen-
erations of our race. It is the theme of the Eight Beatitudes.
It is justice, humility and sacrifice, Chastity and charity. It is
ever the ancient and the new song of all times, the Gospel of
Christ and His Church. The world has great need today, as it
has in every age, to contemplate and meditate upon His Beati-
tudes.
And that ultimate goal of ours-that evasive peace. Is it
not the goal given so beautifully in the Eight Beatitudes?
Jesus Christ said that the Kingdom of Heaven would be the
reward in the hereafter, not the kingdom of time and space.
But He also said that those who lived His Gospel would even
possess in part the joys of earth and would find justice, com-
fort and mercy both here and in Heaven. Is this not the answer
-the key?
It is towards this goal, a peaceful world through living
the Beatitudes, that we, the student body of Aquinas High
School in this critical year of 1949, do pledge ourselves in this,
our annual. We will prayerfully strive to live the Beatitudes
and help others along their beautiful and sacred path, so that,
in the long years following commencement, we will find our
world the world We want it to be-this world of tomorrow,
where justice and charity and Christ Our Leader reign su-
preme and peaceful in the hearts of men.

The Aquinas grid squad for the second time in
three years, walked off last fall with the city foot-

by a 13-12 win over the fighting Red Raiders from
Central High School. Earlier in the season, the Blu-
golds dropped a close encounter to their Northside
opponents, the Logan Rangers, but due to a slim vic-
tory of the Central team over the Northsiders in the
Baseball Champions .
For the second consecutive time in two years, the
Aquinas Diamondmen, under the coaching of Jim
Quinn, copped the city baseball crown with decisive
wins over the rival Central and Logan teams. Again
it was the pitching of moundsman Tom Rendler that
led the squad to victory. Early in the season the Blu-
golds got off to a slow start by dropping encounters

Lower Left: An unusual shot catching some of
the interest from the Aquinas student fans during
one of the lntra-City frays. Throughout the season
the Aquinas fans in the bleachers cheered the Blue
and Gold squad on to victory after victory. It would
appear from some of the expressions on the faces,
that perhaps an Aquinas player has pushed the ball
high into ,the air, but it is as yet undecided whether
it will fall through the all-important hoop.
The Aquinas quintet ended the '48-'49 basketball
season with a 20 and 5 win and lost record. Al-
though losing the coveted city championship crown,
the Blugold squad went to De Pere in the Catholic
State Invitational Basketball Tournament ,and came
out with the Catholic State Championship under
their belts. Going into the tourney the Aquinites
were considered as underdogs, but in keeping with
the traditional fighting spirit that is always so domi-
nant at Aquinas, they defeated some of the top
basketball quintets in the state, and took the crown
away from the fighting Irish crew from Eau Claire,
Wisconsin.
Next year the Blugolds will again trek to the
tourney, but this time in defense of the crown.
