Such an example of XVoolworth's has never been seen, Not even in newspapers, photos. or screen. H. lle stops not for traffic, and he looks not around, lrlis mouth shapes a whistle, but he utters no sound, So intent on his jewelry that he looks up too late For at the wheels of a Henry he meets his sad fateg Such a lover of beauty will never be found. So have your ears open, keep your eyes off the ground. B. McKimmey, '27.

ALMA MATER SONG PVOrd.r and Music by T. CARROLL SIZER Alma Mater, we're cheering for you Alma Mater, we're loyal to you Your sons in battle fight For the old purple and white And to St. Thomas, Our Patron Saint, Let our voices raise unrestrained just like our mother There is no other Alma Mater, we love you. JUN1oR-sEN1oR BANQUET The annual Banquet given by the Juniors for the Senior Class was held May third. The Coliseum was beautifully decorated in the junior and Senior Class colors. The speakers were the Reverend L. C. Pren- dergast, Toastmaster, Mr. T. Carroll Sizer, President of the Senior Class, Mr. Leonard Condon, President of the Junior Class, and Mr. Raymond Nolan, Captain of the l927 Football Team. After a delicious dinner, the young peo- ple went into the Auditorium, where Dursch's Orchestra furnished the music for the dancing. Miss Dorothy Tierney, chosen as Queen, led the grand march with Mr. Leonard Condon. Laurena Kirane. '27, THE '27 CLUB The '27 Club has been formed not as a Social Affair, but for the purpose of weld- ing together the Seniors of 1926-27 in order that they may meet yearly and thus keep alive their interest in, and their love for their Alma Mater. In general, it will be a review of the happiest days of our lives. Now that our school days are coming to an end, we realize what it means to leave school and to go our separate ways. The pang of parting is softened by the thought that each year we shall meet and forget the anxieties, the cares, and the responsibilities of the world and be young again-at dear old St. Thomas. The President of the '27 Club is our capable class president, T. Car- roll Sizer, the Vice-President, our efficient Hrlrold O'Connor, our Secretary, the energetic Clifford Hyland, and our Treas- urer, the earnest and painstaking John Green. Long may the '27 Club live and flourish! , Carroll O'Connor, '27.
