Our Class Motto “Non Nisi Te, Domine! ................. Nought But Thyself, O Lord! ’ Our Non Nisi Te, Domine!” recalls The legend of Saint Thomas, soul sublime: That lover of our Eucharist King,— Yes, Aquin’s boast, but loved in every clime. This seraph dipped his pen in purest love. Then heart and soul aflame, aglow, afire, He sang the love his heart could not restrain. Of Christ, his Lord Divine, his soul's desire. “O Salutaris Hostia,” he cried— From very love his heart would not be still. Our Eucharistic God bent low to hear, Da Robur, fer auxilium —You will! Ah. He Who yearns for hearts of men made voice. Of Me, O Thomas, thou hast written well: What gift of Mine thy heart may now desire, ’Tis thine as soon as thou dost choose to tell.” Then. Non Nisi Te, Domine!” he cried: Nought but Thyself, O Lord, sufficeth me.” His ravished soul, no other gift could pray— His sole wish— Non Nisi Te, Domine!” O Great Saint Thomas. Angel of the Schools, We girls of '26 give thanks to thee: Thy motto will be ours throughout life’s day. Yes, Non Nisi Te. Domine!” 'twill be. Dorothy M. Almon Page Thirteen The Xavier
