ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS POSSESS TACT and UNDER- STANDING Mr. Grogan and Major Hood possess both tact and under standing; no heading could be more completely honest. It is not, however, so honestiy com- plete. They possess many other qualities which make working under and with them pleasant and eminently satisfactory. Their sound idealism, their constant devotion to duty, their kindly democracy of manner, and their ceaseless act- ivity in the interests of St. Thomas Military Academy are both inspiring and comforting to those entrusted to them. The termination of the school year 1937- 1938 marks another successful milestone in the march of progress of the St. Thomas Corps of Cadets. I firmly believe that every graduate of St. Thomas Military Academy will find that the disciplined world that he is about to enter will be much easier to cope with as a result of his training in the mlitary in- struction. My sincerest thanks are extended to every member of the Corps for the spirit of loy- alty and cooperation which they have given me. —MAJOR HOOD.

MR. CROCANS MESSAGE TO THE SENIOR CLASS Mr . Cutting: Academy registrar. Fr. Kline: Academy Librarian. Miss Scholtcs: Infirmary Nurse. The Class of 1938 leaves behind it a myriad of pleasant impressions. With the Administration it leaves the recollection of responsibilities earnestly undertaken and faithfully carried out. With the Military Department it leaves a record of obedient service, humble leadership, and meritorious achieve- ment. The faculty will remember this class as one whose scholastic attainments were not dimmed by the many vigorous and valuable extra-curricular in- terest of its members. The Athletic Department will view with genuine regret the departure of a class whose numerous stars have left behind them feats long to be envied and emulated by those who follow. The underclassmen will remember the Seniors of 1938 for the many warm friendships they have cul- tivated, for the helpful assistance they have cheer- fully given to those under them in class, at drill, or at play, and for the splendid examples of leadership which they have shown to those who look forward to their days as seniors at St. Thomas. But above all, the Class of 1938 leaves behind a record of being a group of Catholic gentlemen, con- scious before all else of their Christian duties in whatever lies before them. Such memories cannot but enrich the Academy tradition and add lustre to its history. It is my sincerest wish that such impressions will be an index to the future successes of the Seniors of 1938. —MR. GROGAN.
