Appreciation of the Faculty I he faculty of the Academy has, to a greater degree than we realize, formed the character and ideals of the present Senior Class. These eminent men. embodying the highest ideals of learning and life, have made every moment spent at St. Thomas an often recalled pleasure. Too, the sincere friendship so freely extended to every Cadet has formed in the Academy a new relationship be- tween instructor and student. And with our Cadet days over, we shall attempt to carry the ideals, incorporated in our very being during the days in uniform and advocated by our honorable faculty, wherever we may roam. To our esteemed professors and reverend priests, we wish to extend our deepest appreciation, hoping that sometime or somewhere, we may be able to repay our in- structors for the indispensable aid in the shaping of our lives and future careers. THE SENIOR CLASS OF '34. [8}

 . MESSAGE TO CORPS The members of the Class of 1934 leave behind them very happy memories. 1 he logical leaders of the Academv and the moulders of its sentiment, thes have ever given the Cadet Corps a fine example of loyalty. Jealous for the honor of their school and eager to lift its name high, they have cooperated with the Principal and his Staff in their efforts to realize the high ideals of I lis Excellency, the Most Reverend Archbishop. The Col- lege and Academv Faculties wish the graduates the success they so richly deserve. VERY REVEREND JAMES MOYNIHAN. Ph D., S.T.D. ;oj
