MARCH - A victory for us over Mount Carmel of 22-ll. The photographer must have had to buy a new cam- era. The Annual Staff and the Charity Club had their pictures taken. VVe beat St. Ignatius. The Seniors duly honored the A'Father of our country in a befitting program. qThis was written by a Seniorj. The Sophomores, Division l, are building a house. Now don't get excited, it's a doll house. Gee, everyone looks crabby. Maybe it's because Mon- day is washday. Are we or are we not going to any tournament? The Sophomores' house is completely finished, garage, lights, flower boxes, and everything. Now they are selling chances, The Athletic Association agreed to let us enter the Central States Preparatory Conference at Davenport Iowa. Everybody thrilled. Of course we beat Sterling. It took the team of '27 to win the first tournament game. Boy! Are we proud? VVe beat St. Mary's of Iowa City 21-13. just gaze at that. VVe are out for honors. A. M. If we have any more games like this I think the rooters at home as well as the players will be done for. We beat St. Peter's 23-2l. P. M. Well, we figured we would let somebody else win for a change, so we allowed Spaulding to beat us! tVVe can't keep up this pretense any longer, they were a stronger team.D A. M. We are something after all. We beat St. Peter's twice so again we develop a bad case of Hbig headf' P. M. Too much for one day. We lost all chances of taking third place when St. Patricl-Us beat us. But wait-trophies. It's up to some student to compose a victory march. We won a fourth place trophy, a trophy for sportsmanship, and john Green won a trophy for the player of most value to his team. Don't call us little St. Thomas. Back to the ordinary routine of school-work, that is John Evans is. Bishop is expected home. We hope this rumor is true. Retreat! The time for everyone to repair all injury and to make peace with God. Father Boyle is conducting the Services. Retreat closes with Mass and a Papal Blessing. We can't help being good.

1 1 T 1 ff, 13. v V Y M .cf Q... .... 16 Early in the school year a board of direct- ors was formed to take charge of the ath- letics at St. Thomas High School. The Board is composed of the following: The Rev. L. C. Prendergast, Mr. Thomas E. Gill, Mr. Thomas L. Sizer, Mr. Leonard Condon. Through the efforts of this efficient com- mittee season tickets were made available for the various games throughout the year. Much ciedit is due the Athletic Board for the very successful year the High School has had in the Held of athletics. While the splendid work of the Coaches is responsible to a great extent for the unusual number of victories St. Thomas players have gainedg still, the work of the coaches would have been unavailing if they had not received constant help and encouragement from the members of the Athletic Board. Not only have the Athletic Directors shown the keenest interest in the clean sports in which St. Thomas engages, but they have helped to raise the fighting spirit of the boys by supplying them with all the equipment necessary to make St. Thomas the equal of any school in the country. hh ,W .X w.
