JULIO ALEXANDER. Secretary PAUL HEINMILLER. President '7fae Senicvz 61644 Only four short years ago we caught our first glimpse of Aquinas. We were just another group of wide-eyed and be- wildered freshmen. Soon we became ac- quainted and discovered that in our pro- fessors we had found fast friends. Quickly we buckled down and tackled our studies in earnest. At the end of the first six weeks we felt more at ease, and many of us had proved ourselves worthy of those little green and gold honor cards. Our first ventures into the social realm began with the skating parties and dances we sponsored. All too soon, Christmas and mid-year examinations approached. Time seemed to fly, and before we knew it our first year at Aquinas was over. As sophomores, we could look down on the incoming group of freshmen. This second year proved to be rather unevent- ful. All of our time was taken up in studying, trying to meet the expectations of our parents and teachers. Social ac- tivities were attended with more vigor, and our athletic struggles were witnessed by throngs of cheering students. As in our preceeding year. time seemed to have taken wings, and the end of our second year at Aquinas was soon completed. OFFICERS RICHARD CALLINAN. Treasurer FRANKLIN CRAWFORD. Vice- President FR. THOMAS. Moderator Our junior year proved to be our best since entering Aquinas, Class officers were elected. and we got into the swing of things without delay. One of the out- standing events of the year was our re- ception of the Aquinas school ring. We were proud to represent Aquinas, to be known as students under the patronage of St. Thomas. The main activity of the year was the junior-senior prom, the an- nual dinner-dance held at the Columbus Country Club. For most of us, this was our first formal, and did we enjoy it, even though it marked the end of our third year. lXow we are seniors. and the day we have been planning for has arrived. Just a few months have passed since we began our last year at Aquinas. We have at- tended well the social gatherings and have tried to promote real school spirit. We enjoyed most the senior picnic and the junior-senior prom. It is with regret that we say goodbye for the last time to Aqui- nas and her faculty, for the be-st years of our lives have been spent in the Chris- tian atmosphere of Aquinas. Now we enter the world. prepared by our beloved Dominican Fathers.
