CLASS OFFICERS Seated: J. Lichtfuss, Vice Pres., Fr. Glynn, Moderator, R. White, Pres.g Standing: F. Metzger, Sec., H. Dempsey, Trcas. SENIOR CLASS OF 1948 Life is but a stagef, The curtain is falling upon another Act on the stage of our lives. We look back with appreciation to our four years under the guiding hands of the Augustinian Fathers. We have received an education built on Catholic principles. This education will serve us as a basis for further advancement in temporal knowledge and as a ground- work for spiritual advancement. What we have sowed in prayer, sacrifice and study these four years, we will reap abundantly in time and in eternity. ST. THOMAS TOLLE LEGE '48
