PUHEWUHU For the theme of this year's Hquin we have chosen a Western setting. The scenes are of the pres- ent, but from their nature serve to remind us of the hardy pioneers who settled in and civilized Texas. These people typified the spirit of Texans of which We are so proud. We hope that these sketches may add to the color of this our 1949 HQUIN. Ht this time We take this opportunity to thank: Mr. and Mrs. Perrine of DeMarler's Studio, Mr. Tom Nall of the Southwestern Engraving Company, Mr. Ralph Harbison of the Gulf Publishing Company, Mr. less Gibson and loe Mortellra of the Chronicle, and to all those students in the school Without Whose help and cooperation this book Would not have been possible.

UUH PHINEIPAL NNE? iwii U if S Hires gi.-55 ' 1: f-, 5 ,:-2, . . g' .,,. :if -'-,. E - f '- , I f 'f I REV. E. P. MHGEE, C. S. B. Graduates of l949, the best advice that l could give you is that of your Master and of your patron St. Thomas. Your Master tells you that your first concern in life is to love God With your Whole heart, with your Whole soul and with your Whole mind. Your patron, St. Thomas, tells you the meaning of that Word Hlovef' He tells you that love has the characteristics of true friendship, that it is unselfish, that it is mutual and that it involves an intercommunion between friends. In other Words, you must give yourselves to Christ in the same manner in which He has given Himself to you. He lived a life of poverty, endured untold hardships, suffered excruciating pain and finally gave up His life for you. He has fulfilled His duty in the matter of unself- ishness. It remains for you to show Him that you are His true friends by giving yourselves to Him as He has given Himself to you. Holy Communion offers the great opportunity for the exercise of this mutual friendship. Many Fridays of the school year you have enjoyed this sacramental union With Gur Divine Lord. May this privilege ever continue to find place in your lives, that it may make your lives Wholesome, interesting, really Worth living.
