St Thomas High School - Aquin Yearbook (Houston, TX)

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
