LIBRARY CLUB The Library Club was organized in 1945 by Father A. B. Lamond, O.S.A., the school librarian at that time. It is open to all St. Thomas students who are interested in books and reading. The main aim of the club is to assist Father D. J. Geaney, O.S.A., the present librarian, in spreading a desire for good reading throughout the school. This involves checking books in and out, suggesting books, preparing the books for the shelves and the other duties of assistant librarians. Stevenson, Houck, Wong, Fr.

FR. ul. P. LYNE, o.s.A. Allzlufii' Dir: 1 for Father James P. Lyne came to St. Thomas last September and immediately established himself as the guiding light of our athletic program. He has worked hard to draw up the Hnest schedule and to pro- cure the best in equipment for the boys. Realizing the work that Fr. Lyne has done ATHLETIC for us, we give him our fullest cooperation in all his undertakings. Mr. George D. Slafkosky came to St. Thomas this year from Kirkland High School and assumed the duties of head football and basketball coach. A very easy way of describing Scoop would be to call him the builder. He started from scratch this year, worked very hard with the sophomores and juniors, and should have very fine teams in the years to come. A great deal of thanks and credit should be given to Mr. William Todd who took time out from his duties as circulation manager of the Rockford Newspapers to come over to St. Thomas and assist in building a football team of which we can be proud. l'r.
