juntas Institute of -Rochester 1127 Befarg jAbenue Badirstcr 13, FAT Dear Alma Mater We, the Senior Class officers, on behalf of our fellow graduates wish to make this letter a manifestation of our appreciation for teaching us the way of goodness, discipline and knowledge . Ever since we entered Aquinas as callow, awed freshmen, you have -ake every possible endeavor to educate us in the true sense of the word. You have led us into a basic appreciation of the arts and letters. You have instilled within us a fundamental understanding of the sciences, which some will develop in collegiate training and which others will use to enjoy the phenomena of life. You have taught us to exercise a rudimentary appreciation of music, and following the Latin Motto, Sana Mens en Sano Corpore , you have endeavored to give us an opportunity to develop ourselves physically by the athletic facilities that you have maintained. You have astutely disciplined our caprices and adolescent irregularities. But most important you have taught us to love and hold dear Catholicism- and to practice our Faith regularly and sincerely. This is but a slight enumeration of the toils that you undertook to insure our success. Your loving sons

DUGGAN DISCUSSES THE FEASABIIITY OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE WITH MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL RICHARD AULENBACHER OUTLINES PROPOSED PLANS FOR A DANCE TO BE HELD AT THE ANNEX STUDENT COUNCIL AND SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS MOLD STUDENT POLICY AND GUIDE SOCIAL LIFE OF SCHOOL During the year it was the Student Council’s responsibility to sponsor dances, to provide a medium for the expression of student opinion and to foster improvements pertaining to the school. Although not required of them, they created student opinion sympathetic to the school and strengthened loyalty to Aquinas. They enriched the opportunities for fellowship between students and members of the faculty and administration. In conducting and supervising elections for various school offices, a subordinate duty of theirs, they acted judiciously and impartially. Because of all they did to make this school year a fuller and happier one they deserve a goodly portion of gratitude for this successful scholastic year.
