The Faculty of St. Thomas High School To the Sisters, as well as to the other members of the Faculty, the pupils of St. Thomas High School owe sincerest gratitude. XVhile we may not name the Sister-Teachers of our Faculty, it is to them espe- cially we are most indebted. They have left the world where greater recognition might have been given their broad scholarship, and have devoted themselves unsparingly to the work of teaching. They have spared neither time nor talent in their love for souls, May we ever be true to the high ideals ineul- cated iii us by the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa, Wiscoiisiii. The Reverend l-. C. l'rendergast will ever be re- garded as a special friend by the entire student body of the l-ligh School. llis connection with the school has been varied and most helpful. Father Prender- gast has been our instructor in Christian Doctrine, and has given us much valuable instruction in our religion. His service to the High School has not ended there, however. lle has been a loyal and hard working member of the Athletic Board. and the friend and advisor of all. ln the absence of our Right Rev- erend Bishop, he has given out report cards, and encouraged and reproved us as the occasion warrant- ed. St. 'l'homas would not be the same without liather l'rendergast. Tllli RIQYICRICXIJ I,. C. l'Rl2XlJICRKLXS'I' NYC have been so many years in the debt of Mr. Thomas Gill, that we find it hard to express our deep appreciation of his generosity in giving us the benefit of his services, year after year, as instructor in Coni- mercial l.aw. To very few schools is the privilege given to have, as a teacher, a busy lawyer, who out of his wide and varied experience, is willing to impart to us such a store of information. Mr. Gill has been associated with our Commercial Department for four- teen years and we hope that we may continue to have him as a nieniber of the Faculty of St. Thomas High School. 11201
