Academics. . . Spirit of Achievement Term papers, book reports, daily assignments, and exams keep S.M. H. S. students from forgetting that this is a place of education. We students strive to achieve the goals set for us by the dedicated teachers. As we look back on the year, we are grateful to our teachers for show- ing us the way to knowledge and achievement. 14

Faculty—Those Third Parents 16 In the future when we look back on these years at St. Matthews High School, we will recall those who guided us on the paths of learning. We will realize then that the requirements we thought unreasonable were sincere efforts by our teachers to counsel us while we stumbled along the way. Though, as students, we felt their demands extreme, we will admire them for having the stamina to remain steadfast when we belit- tled them--for their task was great! We were only a few of the many whose lives they influenced; but to us, they will always be a symbol of the beginning of our desire to grow and prepare ourselves for our careers. We are grateful to them for graciously lighting the way to knowledge and understanding so that we may make our generation stand out as a guide post to posterity. MR. H. F.
