THQMAS HIGH SCHOOL VERY REVEREND V. .I. BURKE, C.5.B. M ore Mu egin . . . . Your class is the smallest that has been graduated from Saint Thomas in some years. That is not your fault, but the result of a change from the eleven to the twelve grade system in l942. As a consequence of the change your Senior Year has been fraught with additional burdens. Tasks that ordinarily would have fallen to the lot of many, had this year to be assumed by you who were few. You have done them will- ingly and well, and your school is grateful to you. However, this same change has been to your advantage, it has given you an extra year to prepare for college or for your life's work. You are more mature than the graduates of the past and more will be expected of you. During these years at Saint Thomas you have acquired a reasonably good knowledge of the truths of your Faith and the principles of Catholic Action. Into whatsoever field you may go, you, as graduates of Saint Thomas, will be expected to show the effect of that knowledge and to live your daily life in accordance with those principles. If you are ever ready to give a reason for the Faith that is yours, if you act always and everywhere as a Catholic, I am sure you will do untold good in a world that needs badly, in every walk of life, such leaders as you can be, and I hope, will be. That is my wish and prayer for you as you leave the halls of Saint Thomas High School. FATHER BURKE DEDICATION THE 1946 SENIOR CLASS WISHES TO DEDICATE ITS ANNUAL TO Mister George W.

Q' 44-1-C., ' V -L 1 L Among the manifold blessings which poured out over the Universal Church from the See of Peter through the paternal bounty of Pope Pius Xll on the occasion of the recent consistory there was one, the document of which appears on the follow- ing page, which holds some claim to being unique and exceptional. Perhaps it was this very characteristic which appealed to Our Holy Father. For while thirty-two out- standing members of the Hierarchy had been chosen and raised to the honors and responsibilities of the Cardinalate, while Dioceses, Orders, Institutions, families, and individuals shared in the spiritual largesse of the Vicar of Christ-here comes a mere idea of a Catholic university for Texas- not more than a promise, a pledge, and a plan, asking for the highest approbation and surest guarantee of fulfillment in the Pontifical Blessing of the Vicar of Christ. Surely it must have been its poverty, its hope, its plea to come into being and to join with all the rest in the service of Christ under the guidance of His Vicar. Surely it must have been these features which moved the paternal heart of the great Pontiff to raise his hand and confer that Blessing, adding Peramanter in Domino- with all my heart, in the Lord. The Editors of the AQUIN invite their readers to a careful inspection of these documents of petition and Blessing, for there will be seen how a layman may serve the cause of Catholic education, how valu- able is the signature of -our good Bishop whose name is affixed to the Petition, and, finally, how truly fatherly is the heart of Pope Pius Xll, who not only graciously granted our petition but sealed the Docu- ment with the Papal Seal and signed it with his own hand.

As we walked away from the rail we wondered why, during the Ceremony of Confirmation, His Excellency gave each boy and girl a slight blow on the cheek. Later on in the Ceremony the Bishop addressed the newly confirmed and explained the Sacrament. His address was the first heard by many of us, but was not, by far, to be the last. ln explaining the question that puzzled us we remember that Bishop Byrne told us that the slight blow was to remind us that we must endure many things for our Blessed Lord. In all his subsequent addresses to us in grade school and high school he has continued to stress this same theme. As the years passed on we would often hear the parish priest read a letter addressed to the people from the Bishop. In these letters we found expressed the wishes of His Excellency. As Chief Shepherd of the Diocese Bishop Byrne must do many things which would try a young priest-writing letters to the parishes, traveling many miles to give talks, and presiding at numerous religious ceremonies. lt was altogether fitting, it may be remarked, that the sermon at the funeral rites of John Cardinal Glennon in Saint Louis should be delivered by his life long friend, our own Bishop of Galveston. lt is a common belief that when a person reaches a certain age he can no longer maneuver about and carry on the activity of his younger years. In deliberate defiance of this assumption our Bishop continues to shepherd his flock unassisted and as a full time occupation content that He Who feeds the birds of the air and has care for the lilies of the field will not cease to be provident. Now on the threshold of manhood it is a comfort to know that He Who was our shepherd at birth continues still to exercise his paternal care. William Pittman i 5 i FR. T. P. o'RouRKE, c.s.B. FR. w.

Higgins served as a member of the Saint Thomas Staff for eight years during most of which he was Principal. Born in Buffalo, New York, he moved to Detroit when very young. Assumption College, Windsor, provided him with much of his early training. He was ordained to the Holy Priesthood in l935. His higher education was continued at the Universities of Toronto and Houston. Dark complexion and a fascinating smile helped add to an already attractive personality. Large in frame Father Higgins took part in all sports, even coaching the Basketball team in his last year here. Football, however, was his specialty, and many an hour he passed on the pigskin ground. As teacher Father Higgins had a good understanding of boys. He would walk and talk with boys and even give a friendly punch on the arm. Religion he taught both here and at lncarnate Word Academy. From him students learned that doing God's will is the all important thing in life. As Principal and Superior Father merited the friendship and esteem of all, lt has been said that he never put an order to his fellow priests, but the work of the School went on nonetheless. The Priesthood was, of course, uppermost in his thoughts. The ability almost to freeze a person to his seat at a sermon will be remembered as an outstanding characteristic of Father Higgins. Since leaving Saint Thomas our former Principal has been a Chaplain in the Air Corps of the United States Army wherein he serves both God and Country. He has wider scope now for his priestly zeal and interest. if 1 S2 i 1 k ms THE SAINT OF AQUINO August 4, I879, marks a renewal in human thought, a changing of directions. From the depths of mental bankruptcy man's thinking received a new orientation. The fool had said in his heart, There is no God. On that day one of the greatest popes of modern times issued a call for a return to the wisdom of the saint of Aquino declaring that saint Patron in heaven of all Catholic schools and commanding that his teaching be followed in all Catholic institutions of higher learning. Scarcely a score of years passed after the clarion call of Pope Leo XIII when the Basilian Fathers established our school named in honor of Saint Thomas Aquinas. What, then, is the story of our Patron? The story of Thomas is the story of a search for God, a search which took him through all the byways of human wisdom, through luminous paths of Grace, and to mystical union with God the Source of all wisdom and charity. Saint Thomas Aquinas was born in the Chateau of Rocca Sicca near Naples, Italy, in the year of Our Lord l225. He was a descendant of the counts of Aquino and a blood relative of the Holy Roman Emperor, Frederick Barbarossa. As was the custom of the time he was entered as an Oblate in the nearby Abbey of Monte Cassino at a tender age. Here it was that he formulated his life quest into words: What is God? The next scene in his search was the University of Naples when he was but fourteen. His father was quite agreeable that he should pursue a Church career, perhaps he would enhance the family name by becoming a renowned Abbot, but the thoughts of his son were along different lines. There was a new religious order which had made its appearance not many years previous, a collection of religious mendi- cants organized by a Spaniard, Dominic Guzman, and pledged to uproot the false teachings of certain re- ligious fanatics in southern France. Among these mendicants Thomas would continue his quest: What is God? , Parental opposition can be determined, especially when noble parents learn their son is to become, of all things, a beggar, a wandering preacher. At the age of seventeen Thomas applied for entrance to the Order of Preachers. Aware of the father's desire of high Church office for his son, the Prior put him off advising him to spend a year thinking over his voca- tion. With characteristic humility the applicant took the advice without question returning duly at the expiration of the year. By this time his father had died and Thomas received the habit of the Dominican Order in I244. A noble mother, however, was still to be con- vinced. She became party to a family plot to waylay the misled youth and return him to the ancestral estate. He escaped from his place of detention, how- ever, and took up the quest again: What is God? The Master General of the Order now sent him to Paris and its already renowned university to pursue his studies in theology. Here it was that he met his teacher, guide, and life long friend, Albert, from Swabia in Germany, who was himself to find a place on the list of saints as Saint Albert the Great. Next Thomas went with Master Albert to Cologne. Here he continued the studies he had pur- sued in Paris only now retiring more within himself, becoming more recollected, so much so that his fellow students were quite convinced of his stupidity. University wits, sharpened by philosophic study, de- vised for him the title Dumb Ox. But well aware of the family legacy of pride the young noble and saint steeped himself in all important humility and bore the taunts as penance for himself. Flashes of his brilliance appeared, however, which were recognized by Albert causing him to predict that the bellowings of this Ox would some day be heard around the world. At the age of twenty-five the title of Master was bestowed on Thomas, and he began publicly to lecture on philosophy and theology. The mysteries of the Godhead far from being comprehended now revealed new depths. Thus his query was not fully answered: What is God? Next came the busy years. Paris, Rome, Naples, Viterbo-all these were scenes of continuous intel- lectual endeavor, yet, strangely enough, his periods of prayer became longer. He openly acknowledged that the main source of his knowledge was not books and teachers but the Crucifix. His companion, Brother Reginald, testified that he often heard Thomas con- versing with the Blessed Mother and Saints Peter and Paul when confronted with a difficult problem. Into mystical love the quest beckoned, What is God? Besides numerous explanations of Greek wisdom, as exemplified by Aristotle particularly, and of the Fathers of the Church, Saint Thomas produced his monumental Summa Theologica as a fitting crown to his life's work. Here, especially, his genius comes to full blossom. Here especially one must look to find an integral blending of the best in pagan wisdom coupled with Christian revealed religion. Here Thomas does his best to answer the question: What is God? lt was a source of especial joy to Thomas to be asked by Pope Urban IV to compose the ecclesiastical Office for the feast of Corpus Christi, for it was from the Holy Eucharist particularly that he drew so much of his wisdom. The Eucharistic hymns Adoro Te and Pange, Lingua are tributes both to his devotion and to his poetic talents. From the image of the Crucified he heard the words, Well hast thou written of me Thomas, what reward wilt thou have? He answered: None other, Lord, but Thyself. Yes, for Him he had searched all his life. After this vision Thomas wrote no more. It all seemed to him now as so much straw. Now he knew more fully what God is, but found human language unable to express it. Henceforth Thomas lived only for death. Pope Gregory X asked him to attend the Council of Lyons, but he died on the way at the Monastery of Fossa Nova. The search was over, and Faith gave way to vision. The date was March 7, I274. This, then, is the story of the Patron of our school. For the students of all schools who are looking for a fellow student to follow Saint Thomas Aquinas, who is also Patron of all Catholic schools, is a shining example. Here his inspiration leads to knowledge and increased love of God, and that is the purpose of our existence. William Pittman FATHER DWYER PAT O'CONNELL Faculty Representative President After the problems . . . solutions ln September, l945, serious discussion began regarding the formation of a group which would promote closer relationships between Faculty and students at Saint Thomas. This plan was suggested by Father W. J. Dwyer who had had previous experience with such a group elsewhere. This organization, calling itself the Student Council, would act as a means for better understand- ing of Faculty problems by students and student problems by Faculty. Under its guidance students could help promote whatever projects required the united effort of the Student Body. Misdemeanors, too, could be handled by the Council, once the members unanimously agree on the procedure. C. Choyce, G. Glauser, F. Hoffman, A. Smith, J. Elsbury, E. Ponthier, E. McGeever, and W. Pitt- man were selected to form the first Council. Pat O'Connell was elected President. His task was to promote and to report on social activities. The other Council members represented the Sodality, Missions collections, publications, sports, Band, and Library. President O'Connell called meetings for the promotion of dances, proms, and School parties. Sodality Representative Choyce enlisted the Council's aid in connection with the Sodality reception in October and the conducting of the weekly Sodality meetings. Missions Representative Hoffman submitted reports on funds collected and missions needing help. Publications Representative Mc- Geever saw to the publicizing of the Council's activities. Sports Representatives Glauser and Ponthier endeavored to boost student attendance at athletic contests. Band Representative Elsbury kept the TUDENT CDUNCIL tie 0 ev School informed about Band activities in general and Concerts in particular. Finally, Library Repre- sentative Pittman submitted accounts of the actions and progress of the School Library. From the Student Body the question has arisen, What good will we receive from it? The answer is that the Student Council tries to provide for activities which will not conflict with the C. Y. O. and other parish meetings and dances. It gives boys an idea of what self-government means. The patrolling of the hallways during the school day is an example of this. Students themselves have supervision of the hallways subject to the Student Council. Like any new organization the Student Council has not yet achieved perfection. Perhaps in years to come others can build on the foundations that have been laid this year, so that self-government learned in school years may be carried over effectively into adult life.

Lowrey, C.S.B. The Ottawa Separate Schools and Lisgar Collegi- ate provided the future Houstonian with the first rudiments of education. Next followed attendance at Saint Michael's College, Toronto, Assumption College, Windsor, and the University of Toronto. Theology was learned at the Scholasticate of the Basilian Fathers in the same Queen City of the Dominion. While at Assumption College, where he received his college degree, Father Bob played football and hockey. When sent to Saint Michael's in Toronto he continued his athletic career for the next three years. In I925 he was a member of the intermediate Inter- scholastic Championship Football team, and during the hockey season starred on the Mulock Cup team. Next came Ordination to the holy priesthood, which took place in the Christmas season of I926, then, Houston and Saint Thomas. Every year Father Bob was a familiar sight on the campus, coaching football, hockey, and baseball. For several years he was head football coach. Like all who have truly loved boys and have a vision of the future, Father Lowrey believed that athletics, properly organized and supervised, are an all-important factor in the solution of the problem of juvenile delinquency and in the development of useful and happy citizens of this world and the next. To him it was a commonplace truth, and quite Chris- tian, that if the means of lawful recreation are supplied, then much undesirable activity will be eliminated. He never tired of reminding our citizen body of its obligation to youth. For this reason he continually advocated the use of school playgrounds and parks as recreational facilities for the young. Father Bob gave generously of his own time so that boys could play. Whenever other duties permitted he could be seen around the students explaining to an attentive group the essentials of the games. But in keeping with his own convictions he stressed, over the mere desire to win, manhood in its highest and most Christian aspects both on the playing field and off. The story is still told of how he caused a usually imperturbable former Principal, Father O'Loane, to become visibly upset while watching a certain game. The prevailing rule was that a player once removed could not be returned in the same Quarter. With several touchdowns to the good Father Lowrey, as head coach, decided to remove his first string team and give the substitutes a chance. The results were almost disastrous. But his action was justified by victory, and the entire team had a chance to play, besides. Father Lowrey was largely responsible for the organization of the Hockey League in Houston. In it he coached several Saint Thomas teams to champion- ships. In the drive to raise the funds necessary to build the new Saint Thomas much was done by Father Lowrey. He was a member, too, of the Council which directed the erection of our present building. An untiring worker thoroughly devoted to his task describes well our former teacher and friend. Though he taught a full schedule, he still found time to direct athletic activities. On Saturdays and Sundays he regularly helped in the parishes of the City. After the outbreak of the recent War the Superior-General of the Basilian Fathers asked for volunteers for chaplaincy duties. Father Lowrey im- mediately responded. With the same generosity and vigor which characterized all his activities and which made him one of the most beloved priests on the Staff of Saint Thomas, he undertook his new assign- ment. From Houston the path led to Canada, to Eng- land, to France, to Belgium, to Holland and Germany that Christ might be brought to men in their hours of fear and agony. For service rightly called heroic he has been awarded the second highest Canadian Government decoration, the MILITARY CROSS. The Citation, announced by National Defense Head- quarters of Canada, disclosing a gallant and dis- tinguished record, has this to say: Honorable Captain Lowrey . . . attached to the Fourth Canadian Armored Brigade . . . has had under his care the men of the armored regiments and the Lake Superior Regiment lmotorl. With these regiments his work has been outstanding. . . . Since coming to Normandy in July, 1944, he has been a tower of strength to his units not only as Chaplain but as a man amongst men whose very presence gave confidence. In the hour preceding zero hour of the famous attack on Falaise he visited under shell fire, every man of the line speaking to all, encouraging them, and in the case of Roman Catholics, hearing their Confessions and distributing Holy Com- munion . . . a source of inspiration and en- couragement to the men. What the Dominion of Canada declared in offi- cial pronouncement was always known here at Saint Thomas. That is why Father Lowrey is a friend to remember' Eugene Sacco ' I 'A , '17 M, 'P' ,,,,., V .Hx 4- Second Row: Robert Matzinger, Donald Blundell, Morrett Baker, George Theall, George Finlay, Leo Born, John Greaney, Edward Caldwell.

FATHER NICHOLAS ROCHE, C.S.B. ounder of Saint Thomas Principal 1900- 7906 Humble, were the beginnings of Saint Thomas High School. Saint Thomas is still humble. Thank God for that. lt takes hu- mility to make any person or any institution Christian. It has ever been of the genius of the bishops of the Church to provide the oppor- tunity for her youth to learn the Christian way of living as well as how to make a liv- ing. To provide such an opportunity for young men and boys in Houston, Texas, was of the zeal of the Rt. Rev. Nicholas A. Gallagher, Bishop of Galveston. At his instance the Fathers of Saint Basil in the year 1900 came here from Toronto, Can- ada. They established Saint Thomas. Father Nicholas Roche C.S.B. was se- lected by his superiors to be the founder of the new school in Houston. He was a pious and humble man, eager to spend himself to do whatever he knew to be pleasing to God. He was thoroughly Cath- olic and had a child-like confidence in Di- vine Providence. He was intensely devoted to Jesus, and with Father Roche, Mary, the ROOTS IN THE PAST The Story of Saint Thomas Father T. P. O'Rourke, C.S.B. Mother of Jesus was always present. He was gentle in his authority, kind in his firmness. He loved learning, and he loved to help others learn. In stature he was tall, well-proportioned, strong, and energetic. He spoke earnestly, he preached elo- quently. He exerted lasting influence on his hearers. In him, nature and Grace did combine to make a manly priest and a priestly man. He was a happy choice to start Saint Thomas on its way. Father Roche arrived in Houston during April, l900. lt might be said of him that he had neither script nor purse. Fortunate he was that the generous and charitable Father Thomas Hennessey was the pastor of Annunciation Church. He took Father Roche into the hospitality of his humble rectory. At that time there was in the par- ish, a frame building which for years had served various Catholic purposes. lt had come to be known as the Old Catholic Building. It was located on Franklin Ave- nue near Caroline Street, where now stands the freight shed of the Missouri Pacific Railroad. This venerable building had once been used as a Catholic school. Father Hennessey thought it good to rededicate it to that noble aim. Father Roche took that to be a consummation devotely to be wished. He asked and received the pious prayers and kindly efforts of the good Sis- ters of the lncarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament, who had long been teaching and training the Catholic children of Houston. Saint Thomas College opened its classrooms in September of the first year of this twentieth century which has brought the human family some joy and much woe. The enrollment numbered forty- four the first year. The Old Catholic BuiIding served as the schoolhouse for the Basilians and their students for two full years. Then came the big iron horses. They needed to get nearer to the heart of Houston. The International and Great Northern Railroad bought the property of the first Saint Thomas. This transaction helped to secure a larger site and the con- struction ofa new building on the block of ground at Hadley and Austin. During the TEACH ME GOODNESS AND DISCIPLINE AND KNOWLEDGE fMotto of the Basilian Futhersl erection of this building Saint Thomas con- tinued its work in the Mason Building on Main and Rusk until the Spring of I904. Then the boys began to trace the day's disasters at 2309 Austin Street. Father Roche remained as the Superior of the school until the Summer of I906. After six years of zealous work, his superiors in Toronto, Canada, recalled him to assume the greater responsibility of presiding over Saint Michael's College, Toronto. It was no easy departure for him to make. He loved the school, he loved Houston, he loved Texas. He loved Houstonians, he loved Texans. That love was mutual. To Father Roche obedience was a virtue. He loved to obey. Saint Thomas' loss was Saint Mich- ael's gain. With the help of Houstonians and of confreres. Father Roche had set a little ship a-sailing. He, Father Hennessey, and others had planted a little tree for this community. It was loveable, it was loved by the people. They nursed its early days. They have never ceased to give it food and moisture so that that tree, Saint Thomas, might ever extend its roots deeper into the Austin Street School Home of Saint Thomas I904-I940 soil of Houston and its branches higher and wider. From the beginning Catholics and non-Catholics have esteemed Saint Thomas a worthy factor in the building of Houston. Certainly Father Roche prayed that it be ever worthy. Father Roche was succeeded in office by the following Basilian Fathers: F. J. Powell, J. E. Pageau, V. I. Donnelly, J. C. Plomer, D. L. Dillon, T. J. McGuire, T. P. O'Rourke, J. H. O'Loane, A. L. Higgins, J. V. Burke. Father O'Rourke inspects the present site, 1930 In that order these priests served their terms as Principal of Saint Thomas. Each contributed his part. In turn each found the spirit of Father Roche and the spirit of the boys. As for Father Roche, they saw that goodness, discipline and knowledge was an indispensable ideal for any educator of youth. Learning without character could not make the citizen for this world or the next. The spirit of the boys was a love for the school, be it ever so humble and so small in numbers. They had a love for the priests and they expected love in return. It was their wish to have fun even in the classroom. But it was never their wish that their breaches of the rule of quiet and silence be taken as a lack of respect for those in authority. The boys had a spirit of honesty and frankness, seldom, if ever surpassed in other groups. They had a wholesome spirit of religious devotion that always responded to proper exhortation. Bad language and foul speech could never get far at Saint Thomas. The boys attended to that. They had a feeling it was not hon- orable to be a tattle-tale. By scorn, re- buke, or the friendly word, they soon got the stray in the herd to accept the Saint Thomas branding-iron or seek new pasture. They loved their school, their teachers and their companions. They expected others to fall in line. The spirit of Father Roche and the spirit of the boys was an encouraging and a consoling aid to lighten the burden of the Principals who have been privileged to come after Father Roche. By the Grace of God and the favor of the Apostolic See, Bishop Byrne succeeded Bishop Gallagher as Bishop of Galveston in November, l9l8. It was the zeal of Bishop Gallagher that brought about the estab- lishing of Saint Thomas. During the past twenty-eight years the zeal of the Most Rev. C. E. Byrne has contributed much to the growth and development of the school. Since the start of his episcopacy, he has used his authority, his piety, his energy, and his personality in the cause of Catholic education in the Diocese. In Houston, in season and out of season, in sermons, in public addresses, he has exhorted priests and people to make better and better schools for their boys and girls. As the City expanded he established new parishes. He liked to remind the people of the idea of the late Pope Pius Xl: Build churches, yes, but build Schools. Priests and people were moved by the Bishop's great love for their children's upbringing. As a result, more boys went to the parochial schools and more boys have come to Saint Thomas. Bishop Byrne has lent his influence and good of- fices to encourage the improving of Saint Thomas since his first visit to the school back in l9l8. With tireless energy and in tiring journeyings he has come again and again to preach at our Forty Hours, at our Commencements. He never failed to give out kindly words of compliment and en- couragement. He was always more than willing to give his approval to the measures calculated to be for the betterment of Saint Thomas. He has enjoyed seeing the increase in enrollment from one hundred and twenty-five at Hadley and Austin to six hundred and sixty boys at the new Saint Thomas High School on Memorial Drive. He may well enjoy it. God bless the Bishop. lf it is true that there is some good in the worst of us, something good might be said of each principal, teacher and stu- dent. That cannot be here and now. How- ever, Father D. L. Dillon, did much to help the school grow. He came as teacher in September, l9l7. He loved it at first sight. The spirit of the boys was his delight. ln the Fall of l9l9 he became Principal. Con- science is supposed to be a man's guide, Father Dillon was a man of conscience. He devoted himself to his duty of improving Saint Thomas. He set about to get the boys to make a more frequent use of the Sacra- ments. Academically, he had the school accredited by the State Department of Ed- ucation. With the help of friends of the institution he purchased a block and a half of ground on Crawford and McGowen. if f 1'-I 355- 1' T 'Wx The New Building of Today These spiritual and material efforts of Father Dillon are still serving well to make Saint Thomas a better place for boys. The spiritual life of the boys is still progressing, the teaching is still recognized by the State Department, and the Crawford Street prop- erty was sold to defray half of the cost of the spacious and beautiful grounds where Saint Thomas continues its forty-five years of trying to make good Catholic men out of boys. Father Dillon's conscience guided him right. 1 1 J . if THESE IN A Sept. 6-School Begins Y E A R Sept. 14-Victory over Pasadena Sept. 2l-Defeat at Goose Creek Sept. 26-Loss to Jett Davis Oct.

This is so true that according to Cardinal Newman it is an historical fact that nations and groups which began by denying honor to Mary, ended by denying the Divinity of Christ, her Son. Convinced that what is true of nations and groups also holds true in cases of individuals, the priests of Saint Thomas have made it a tradition of our School to develop and encourage among the student body a true and manly devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. To accomplish this very important part of our Catholic training, the Sodality of Our Lady was set up here for the entire student body. During the past year the Sodality has been very active as a student organization. ln October prospective Sodalists became members in a joint reception with the girls' high schools held in Annunciation Church at which His Excellency, Bishop Byrne, presided. ln that same month, also, a campaign was carried out at the School which had for its purpose to guarantee that every Saint Thomas boy carry his Rosary beads. Several hundred pairs of beads were blessed and distributed. As a further evidence of our loyalty to Mary, every student is wearing a Scapular Medal in her honor. CUR LADY TEVIS, Prefectf FATHER McCARTY, Director, RECKLING, Treasurer, WARDEN, Vice-Prefect. Coupled with devotion to Our Lady is devotion to her Spouse, Saint Joseph. As Mary and Joseph were chosen by God as Mother and Foster-Father respectively of the Word made Flesh, and since it is through them that the blessings of the Incarnation have come to us, students have been encouraged to associate in their prayers the Holy Family through the decade of the Beads and the Prayer to Saint Joseph which have preceded Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, thus uniting Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in the weekly exercises of Our Lady's Sodality. It is the hope of the directors and officers of the Junior and Senior Sodalities that through membership in the organization and participation in its weekly exercises, the student body, both present and future, will acquire those habits of devotion mentioned above to carry with them when they leave the School wherever their future careers may take them. With these fundamental and characteristic marks of truly Catholic men, namely, their Beads, their Scapular Medal, their devotion to Saint Joseph, we feel certain that we will not be content to live at a distance, or at variance, with Our Lady, her Divine Son, and the teachings of His Church. Charles Choyce unior Father Burggraf preaching Father O'Rourke preaching the Senior Retreat the Junior Retreat ANNUAL RETREAT Lewis Miles When Our Blessed Lord wanted to see life He went upon the hillside to pray. So also did we. The Retreat is a timely event held annually during the first three days of Holy Week. Our Retreat Master this year was the Reverend Father Burggraf, C.S.P. Father Burggraf explained that the Retreat was a setting aside of three days of the year in which to pray and contemplate so that we may face successfully the other three hundred sixty-two days. He said that retreatants were like men lost in a forest who, in order to find their position, climb trees to view the surroundings. Thus we take three days of the year in which to see the mistakes of our past life and to guard against any future possible ones.

Pastor of Saint Austin's Church, Austin, Texas day and preached by Father T. P. O'Rourke, C.S.B., the other by Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores lasting for three days. Provision was made for daily Mass and Holy Communion. Then Conferences and recre- ation periods alternated with each other. The day ended with recitation of the Beads and Benedic- tion of the Blessed Sacrament. Silence is the rule during the day, and all were urged to do nothing to break the spirit of silence after school hours. In his series of conferences Father Burggraf spoke on matters of most importance to boys. About vocations he said: Neither mother them nor smother them. Our retreat Master greatly benefited us and helped us realize the importance of the subjects of which he spoke. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 1 1 ...MJ A Retreat Conference D 4 N K own in .fdclorafion jafgng . .v FORTY HCURS DEVOTION lt is on annual event at Saint Thomas to hold the Forty Hours Devotion on the fifth, sixth, and seventh days of March, because the third of these days is the feast of our school patron. It must necessarily be held in the Library so that as many as possible may be accommodated. lt was begun this year with Solemn High Mass and Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Throughout the day the various classes came in groups to pay their respects to our Eucharistic Lord. Long standing tradition calls for a general recep- tion of Holy Communion on the third morning of the Devotion by the entire student body. Following this the ll lil Mother's Club, in motherly fashion, provides the break- fast for all. This, too, is long standing tradition. The Forty Hours were closed with the singing of Eucharistic hymns, recitation of the Beads and Sacred Heart Litany, an inspiring sermon by our Bishop, and Benediction. His Excellency was assisted by Father Notzon of Queen of Peace and Father Daly of Saint Mary's. The Forty Hours Devotion was considered a grand success this year because the student body cooperated fully by attending the Masses and receiving Holy Com- munion on all three mornings as well as making frequent visits throughout the day.

For protection in the spiritual struggle the boys of Saint Thomas are armed with the SPIRITUAL BULLETIN, a source of guidance and advice. This one-page paper is weekly instruction of a religious nature for the benefit of the student body. As many books and papers teach the physical side of life, the SPIRITUAL BULLETIN-as the name suggests--portrays the spiritual side of the earthly pilgrimage. For the myriad of soulydangers which beset the young on every side this weekly reminder advises, prods, and encourages. Bawlings out, gentle and otherwise, alternate with meeds of praise. Small in size the SPIRITUAL BULLETIN clears the way for the solution of spiritual problems of the boys of Saint Thomas. Now finishing its second year it has earned a needed place in the life of the school.

OUR MOTHERS CLUB Gustave Mistrot The Mothers Club was first organized in the early twenties for the purpose of putting on a Bazaar. After this it disbanded. Following a considerable lapse of time the need was seen for a permanent organization. The Saint Thomas Mothers Club was established at the time Father J. H. O'Loane, C.S.B., was Principal. lts avowed purpose was to afford mothers an opportunity to aid the Staff in rendering better service to the student body. lt has per- sisted faithfully for a number of years by generosity and untiring effort to better conditions at the School. Meetings of the Club are held in the Library on the fourth Tuesday of each month. During the past year the Club has sponsored many outstanding social events, including the Tea and Reception in October, the Card Party in November, the Pre-Lenten Party, the Lecture by Professor Pratt, and the Bazaar. Among other things our mothers have made it their annual task to serve breakfast to the entire student body on the morning of the general reception of Holy Communion on the closing day of The Forty Hours Devotion, March 7. They also render valuable assistance in the Library. A General Meeting in Session OFFICERS MRS. FISCHER, MRS. OFFENHAUSER, MRS. BURGHARD, MRS.

This could well have been the question of many a student at Saint Thomas prior to April 9, l946. But now it is safe to say that lack of interest in poetry has suffered a serious defeat because of the visit from Canada of E. J. Pratt, poet and professor. This nota- ble man read portions of his poems to two gatherings of the student body showing how verse can be con- cerned with such interesting topics as dogs and seals. We will venture to say that many students, after hearing Doctor Pratt explain the background of his poems, went away with a new and better idea of poetry. Doctor Pratt has shown us that poetry does not have mythology, romantics, ballads, or fearful stories as its core, for he has made clear to us that the happenings of our lifetime, which magnetize our interest can be put into a poem. The author of Brebeuf and His Brethren was generous with his time, crowding into four days at least a half dozen talks to select groups plus his public lecture. We at Saint Thomas are indebted to our Mothers Club and to Father Dwyer for this rich experience. DOCTOR E. J.

I pulled into this city yesterday afternoon. Do you remember speaking about fighting spirit the last time I saw you-you know, your argument that a person ought not to pay too much attention to the odds against him? Well, I had an experience with that just last night that I want to tell you about. Feeling fine after a good evening meal I set out to look the town over. First thing I spotted was a gang of young boys and girls moving down the street. I just tagged along and boarded a bus with them. One of the lads told me that all were bound for a night football game between two local rivals, Saint Thomas and Lamar high schools. My interest was kindled when he declared that no matter what the odds against them and no matter what the past history of the series, St. Thomas was going to win. lHe was from St. Thomas, of course.J He backed up his argument by pointing out that the fighting spirit of the players and students was at a high pitch. There was a feeling throughout the student body that this was St. Thomas' year to win. The two teams looked very evenly matched, each just waiting to get a crack at the other. The game started with a bang. The Lamar boys were fast, the St. Thomas lads slower but determined, especially the forward wall. Most of the first period was spent slugging it out in mid-field. Lamar was the first to show signs of weakness, and their opponents rolled over for a touchdown near the close of the first quarter. Nor was that all. Again just before the close of the first half the hard-hitting St. Thomas team punched through for another touchdown to end the scoring for the night. So-called odds didn't matter now. The rest of the game was a battle to remember-Lamar trying its best to score, and the St. Thomas young- sters giving them an emphatic no each time. They were on top now and meant to stay there. Here was your fighting spirit at its best. When the final gun was fired, locked up emotions burst forth. Everyone, students and friends, fathers and mothers, let go with cheers that rocked the Stadium. Even I felt proud of the way these St. Thomas lads fought and won, because I know it will teach them that no matter how many times failure occurs, success is sure to crown continued effort. Good-bye for now. I think my experience proves your point.

However, Mr. Moynihan's hoopsters were not to be daunted by this. Tournament basketball was their specialty, it took them to many towns in this part of the State. The one returning letterman from last year's team was the nucleus around which the inexperienced lads were grouped. The record is not impressive, but when the drawbacks are remembered, then it's nothing to be ashamed of. Basketball interest has been aroused at Saint Thomas. The future will see more of it.

BASEBALL THE SENIOR TOMS David Kennedy Coached by Father Wilson the seventeen-and-under TOMS had a very good l945 season. After fruitful practicing they lost only one game, to San Jacinto. This team and Lamar gave the TOMS their hardest fights with the TOMS winning the majority of the battles including a second game with San Jacinto. Johnny Finch took command from the mound, backed by a sharp infield sporting Kurtin at third, Romano at short, Hollmann at second and Fred O'Connor at first base. With Golibart catching, and Leggio, Matzinger, Malanaphy, and Kansteiner pulling in the long ones in the outfield, they went all the way to obtain wins in Buff Stadium. THE JUNIOR TOMS David Kennedy Father Wilson's fifteen-year-olds also turned in an impressive season. Undisputed credit can be given Bobby Hollmann who pitched one no-hit game and six one-hit games out of twelve. Golibart filled the catching berth, while Thielen turned in a good job at first. Romano and Hugger played shortstop and second base with equal skill and spirit. Beaman held down the hot corner. ln left field was Leggio, in center Anders, and in right Joe Campise. Romano was the outstanding hitter both in this and in the other League. With such a line-up it is not surprising that the team lost only one game, and, no doubt, the North Side Tigers had to work to win this one. This year these same boys have returned to show their wares again. Standing: Fr. Wilson, Simpson, Leggio, Thielen, Hollmann, Golibart, Mr. Hollmann, Asst. Coach. Kneeling: Romano, Hugger, Anders, M.

However that may be the 1946 Yearbook is given the proper name Aquin in honor of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Patron of our School. It is our second Annual and the first to bear a proper name. It is the sincere hope of the Staff that the Book gives an adequate record of the events of the 1945-1946 school year so that these memories may be treasured for the indefinite future.

These three and the staffs under them worked diligently and conscientiously to turn out the Book. A special feature of the Business Staff was the carefully selected and trained group of Advertising Salesmen taken from both Juniors and Seniors. The training and experience of the former will be of service next year. This system will be continued from year to year. A special vote of thanks must go to Father Lamb, the Faculty Advisor. His spirit and determi- nation inspired the Staff to put forth its best effort.

Yes, he was besieged at another school the day previous. But what of that? Nevertheless, the rumor started in the morning early. It gained momentum as the day grew older. Then suddenly the announcement in early afternoon. PAT O'BRIEN was coming to Saint Thomas. Thanks to the personal request of Mister Strake. Geniality-Irish wit and laughter. Hollywood sent us its best. Thank you, Pat O'Brieng come back again. Pat O'Brien Mr. G. Stroke FIRE MARSHAL Vulcan's Watch Dogs Second Row: Sacco, Collins, Choyce, Condit, Pittman.

The safety of the student body is insured by our Fire Marshals. Their task is to remove all boys from the building in orderly fashion upon a moment's notice. In the many practice fire drills during the school year they have succeeded in doing this in one minute and forty-five seconds. F LY I N G C L U B Icarus, foo, had wings M' . ,fu-c .

With Through difficulties to the stars for motto our future Kellys, Bongs, Boyingtons, and Lindbergs soared through all the maze of ethereal problems on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week. Taking off, landing, banking, turning, air foils, air pressure-all these were mastered right here in our own trainer. Longitude, latitude, map reading, compass, dead reckoning, and course plotting -these are no longer mysteries to Father Record's Flyers. Flying, we are convinced, is here to stay. 1 L I B R A R Y C L U B Many a quaint and curious volume . Hardy, Clay, Father Murphy Gibbs, Standish, Miles mls ,es is ,r Cash, Melancon, Sacco, Landram Pittman, Ferguson, Carhart, Romero A definite effort was made during this year to make use of the facilities pro- vided for our Library. A full-time Librarian was appointed. With the help of several student assistants, who make up the LIBRARY CLUB, Father Murphy has succeeded in keeping this wellspring of knowledge in excellent condition. The members of the Club are trained in the rudiments of library procedure. Since the work is filled with detail, the members learn the importance of small things and attention to minutiae. The entire student body is indebted to them. ik SENIOR DIRECTORY Name Richard Aguilar A Robert Ambrose .,,. William Barnes., . Charles Carhart .

The editors' supervision includes every- thing trom the first idea of a theme through the innumerable details involved in art work, layouts, photographs, copy, engravings and print- ing. In normal times their responsibility has been great. ln waretime, problems have arisen which made their task almost insurmountable. Our greatest interest has been to work in the spirit of cooperation, relieving the editors, wherever possible, of some ot their Work and worry. With the shortage of materials and manpower the task has not always been easy and delay has been inevitable. lt is our hope, however, that our organization of experienced craftsmen has succeeded along with your editors, in turning out a book that you will find both attractive and entertaining. iii ik if? il?
