This is our yearbook. It is with this thought that we present to the school, and to the world, the 1955 edition of the KAYDET. We do this partly with a feeling of accomplishment, but mostly with a vague gnawing at our hearts —a profound regret at leaving the scene of the four happiest years of our lives. DEDICATION Try as we will, we find it almost impossible to measure the good we have derived from our association with Mr. Joseph O'Brien. Our first year at St. Thomas was made easier than we had anticipated because of the pleasant, kindly approach of our Freshman English instructor. Prof. O'Brien cer- tainly never confined his good example, his gentle words of encouragement, or his sincere praise to the classroom; but his enthusiasm has permeated our lives socially, intellectually, and spiritually. But most of all, the Seniors of the past seven years will remember him in a special way for giving them a pictorial remembrance of their years at St. Thomas Military Academy through his untiring efforts and original approaches in presenting the year- books to the Cadets. The spirit of St. Thomas is personified in Mr. Joseph P. O'Brien, to whom we respect- fully dedicate this book. Page  ix Page seven Professor Joseph P. O'Brien HIS EXCELLENCY, ARCHBISHOP JOHN GREGORY MURRAY Archbishop of St. Paul Though years pass by, though fond memories of high school days will fade, the pro- pitious guidance given us by Archbishop John Gregory Murray, our spiritual leader, will never be dimmed from memory. His Excellency will be remembered by all of us for his deep humility and spiritual power, by which, through his clergymen, he has guided the faithful to greater love of their Catholic Faith and Christian ideals. Page eight HIS EXCELLENCY, BISHOP JAMES J. BYRNE Auxiliary Bishop of St. Paul The sterling character possessed by Bishop Byrne has been a constant source of admiration not only to us students of St. Thomas Military Academy but to all who have come in contact with him. His Grace continually bears in mind our welfare and that which is best for our souls. For this and his constant prayers we thank him now and in the years to come. Poge nine THE VERY REVEREND VINCENT J. FLYNN President, St. Thomas Military Academy Our admirable president. Father Vincent J. Flynn, has worked endlessly to make St. Thomas a better school for us to attend. He does not encounter the problems that arise in our school merely as an administrator, but being an alumnus of the Academy, he looks at the problems from the viewpoint of the student. It is through his untiring efforts that we have such a fine educational institution. Poge ten COLONEL JOHN T. EWING Professor of Military Science and Tactics Our PMST possesses the qualities of a leader and a gentleman; above and beyond this he has done his utmost to instill these characteristics in the members of the senior class. These qualities, plus his sense of humor and devotion to duty, command from all of us respectful admiration and devotion. COLONEL GEORGE E. LANGELAND Principal As our appreciation of Colonel Langeland has grown in the past four years, so will it continue to grow following our graduation. Surely, no member of the Class of 55 will find it possible to obliterate from his mind the joviality, gontlemanliness, Christian attitude, and willingness of our Principal to aid in solving any of our problems. THE REVEREND JOHN R. ROACH Director No member of the present administrative body at St. Thomas Academy has taken greater interest in the Corps of Cadets than our beloved Director. Father Roach's eager- ness to help is overshadowed only by his immense capa- bilities. He has given to each of us the benefit of his mcny and varied experiences — experiences which we have yet to encounter. Academy Administration Poge eleven FATHERS' CLUB The St. Thomas Military Academy Fathers' Club is an organization of which we are justly proud. They contribute greatly to the funds providing for the enjoyment of Cadets. It is this club that makes possible the annual Father-Son banquet held every May, as well as the Parents' Weekend in October, which incidentally, was better attended this year than any other. Midway through the school year they conducted a panel discussion on the problems of teenagers, a well-attended and worthwhile event. Among the things done this year was the purchasing of a television set for the Cadets of Ireland Hall. Working under the belief that an interested father makes an interested son, this organi- zation, through its leaders, Messrs. Joseph Summers, John Sweet, Don Leo, and Edward Gordon, has done much to better the welfare of St. Thomas. The Prexy and his henchmen talk it over. Are you there? A smoker? Where are the cigarettes? Say Cheese Prof. Is it that serious, Mr. Kurtz. MOTHERS' CLUB St. Thomas Military Academy is very proud of and grate- ful to its Mothers' Club for the many wonderful things they have done and continue to do for the Cadets. Among these are the Friday night mixers, the Military Ball, the band concerts and their annual contributions to our schol- arship funds. Our heartfelt thanks go to those mothers who gave so much of their time to make St. Thomas extracur- ricular events the huge success they always are. This year, in order to continue their charitable deeds. The Mothers' Club conducted an interesting and successful style show in the fall and a Talent Show of Academy and College Stu- dents in the spring.

The Senior Class assisted by Father Eddy and Father Roach, arranged a special week for this retreat at the King's House in Buffalo, Minnesota, and the Fiat House in Minneapolis. Irrespective of the lo- cation, both groups of retreotants had a great opportunity to reap many benefits from this spiritual renovation. In former retreats at St. Thomas a great majority of the students commuted making it difficult to maintain the desired silence need- ed for a good retreat. Many things which further one's purpose in making a good and holy retreat such as fine reading matter, qualified spiritual direc- tion, and pleasant, quiet surroundings are all in abundance there. We believe the spiritual energy obtained through one of these retreats makes it advantageous to make one frequently. RETREAT On November 10th through the 12th, un- derclassmen Cadets at St. Thomas attended their annual retreat which this year was under the direction of the Very Rev. George E. Ryan, Rector of the Saint Paul Cathedral. The retreat opened with Solemn High Mass, and for the next throe days Cadets attended conferences given by Father Ryan on the basic theme — The Life of Christ. Between conferences sufficient time was pro- vided for meditation, prayer, and private consultation with the retreat master, as well as vocal recitation of the Rosary in the homerooms. The retreat came to a close with solemn Benediction and the Papal Blessing. The stu- dents of the Academy are indeed grateful to Father Ryan for having given us such an inspiring retreat. One of the many interesting things in Father Eddy's Senior religion classroom is this chart of all the Christian religions. This chart is the object of much attention, as it pictures graphically the progress of the Church through the years since the time of Christ. This scene, the shrine of our patron saint, Thomas Aquinas, at the rear of our chapel has been a famil- iar one to Cadets since 1917. Every Friday noon, the Cadet corps assembles for Benediction and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. The same procedure is duplicated on First Fridays when the students attend morning Mass and receive Holy Communion. Most Cadets realize the opportunity given them as far as religious services are concerned. Here, as the priest leaves the altar, the student body and the faculty sing the Adoremus. Many years hence Cadets will cherish these moments of spiritual bliss and wish they had taken every advantage of these oppor- tunities.

FOOTBALL After two weeks of gruelling scrimmage and practice, the Tommies were ready for their first opponent, St. Augus- tine. The split-T, which was new to most of our boys, looked as though if would be successful when they drew first blood. But after that the Toms were unable to protect their slim lead as St. Augustine proved to be too powerful for them. For the next three games Coach McMahon switched the lineup and finally changed to a single-wing. With only one game left before starting conference play, the Cadets worked hard at their new formations, and they were ready for Humboldt whom they defeated 6-0 for their first vic- tory of the season. This victory also helped the morale of the team, and with their new plays and lineups it looked like the Toms would offer their CCC opponents some good games during conference play. This proved true as Skip McMahon's boys played host to St. Cloud in the annual Homecoming Game. After a very hard fought first half in which the Cadets were unable to hang on to the ball, the visiting Crusaders were leading 13-0 as the wet and disappointed Toms went to the locker room. The second half was a different story as the inspired Cadet team came back with two touchdowns. But in the last quarter the Crusaders scored a TD to put the game on ice with the final score reading 19-12. HIGHLIGHTS The next week St. Thomas traveled to St. John's where they met a much stronger team than they expected, but the score was close all the way. The Cadets, already assailed by in- juries on the starting lineup, ran into more hard luck as two touchdowns were called back. The Tommies were leading 7-6 and 14-13, but the final score was 20-14 in favor of the Johnnies. The Cadet's next game was with their arch- rival, Cretin. The Raiders, who were outfought in spirit, took the Cadets too lightly as the game was close up to the closing minutes when Cretin scored their third touchdown of the game. As the gun sounded, the Tommies were on the short end of a 21-13 score in the Cretin Homecoming classic. The final game of the season sow a riddled Tommie line try to keep up with the power of the De La Salle Islanders. The rugged hard- hitting Islanders kept their first string in and ran up a score of 61-0. A SQUAD: First row, left to right: T. Rose, R. Heoly, J. Doyle, W. Poferl, T. Flynn, J. Kenny, M. Wright, L.

BASKETBALL Coach Ed Rumsey Poge seventy Under the aggressive leadership of their new coach, Ed Rumsey, the Tommie cagers enjoyed a very success- ful season. The first game saw the Cadets knock off Wash- burn by a convincing 61-49 score. This was the only blemish on Washburn's otherwise perfect record as they went on to win the State Championship. After winning their first thirteen games, the Cadets came up against a strong Dc La Salle quintet, one of the finest teams seen in this area for some time. De La Salle and Rochester Lourdes proved to be the only barriers for the Toms as they went on to have a respectable 19-4 record.

HOCKEY The Tommie pucksters were one of the happiest surprises, athletic-wise, on the campus. Coach Bob Byrne, who took over the reigns of hockey mentor, did an almost miraculous job in building the Tommies for the 1955 hockey season. Facing one of the toughest schedules in years, the Tommies came through with a fine 16-4 record. Goalie Mike Eldredge had a defensive record of 1.8 goals scored against him, while the Cadet front line averaged 4 goals per game. Jim Stcigauf and Dave Froats held down the defensive posts, while Mike Merz, Al Goulet, Ed Flesher, Tom Koppy, Terry Lynch, and Tom Merz made up the high scoring Tommie front line.

The triumph gave tht the championship of the annual Minnesota Prep Invitational tournament, the second time the have won the crown, scot 5-2 triumph over Cretin's ers in the 1951 title game, other five championships all been won by Cretin. Brock, which wasn’t expot to last through the first rou much less reach the champit ship game, held a 1-0 lead aft one period. Again it was brilliant play of Bob Browr 15-year-old junior goalie, thai kept the fast-skating Cadets in check. The Broncs goal was scored by Terry Marceson midway in the first period. Jim Kaufman came out of the penalty box and picked up a loose puck. He skated in on goalie Mike El- dredge and let fly. but the Cadets goalie made a brilliant stop. Marceson was standing just to the left of the net and batted in the rebound. Brown's scorless skein was snapped after 93 minutes and 19 seconds of tournament play. Terry Lynch took a pass from defenseman Dave Froats on the right lane and let fly into the left corner. Brown had scored two straight shutouts over Min- nehaha Academy and Blake prior to the title game. Brock appeared to tire in the final period and the Cadets jumped on this opportunity to crack for five goals. Three of the scores came while Breck players were sitting in the sin bin.

SWIMMING Under the tutelage of their new coach Skip McMahon, the Tommy Frogmen pad- died their way to a successful season. The Cadets proved themselves to be a feared unit throughout the entire state as they went on to have a sterling 12-4 record. Co-captains Pete Alvord and Bill Dolan formed the nucleus of a good team of which many will return next year. Skip examines Mach's new webbed hands. Some of the boys having a splash fest.

Although the Tommies won-lost record is not too impressive, we do not believe that it is an accurate picture of the team's success. The real criterion is reflected in the hustle and all-around spirit which has been built up between Coach Ed Rumsey and his players. Mr. Rumsey, in his first year at the helm of the baseball team, has been strongly stressing the fundamentals of the game, which he hopes will result in a winning squad in the near future.

TENNIS TEAM Page seventy.nine INTRAMURALS The Intramural program, set up and run by Prof. Don McKoskey and Sgt. Elliot Smi.h, is proving to be one of the most popular activities on campus. Since its humble beginning as spring company competitions, it has been built into a year-round program. The sports included are football, basketball, softball, swimming, bowling, volleyball, and ping pong. Each Cadet, with the exception of varsity team members, is given a chance and encouraged to take part in any or all of these activities.

REGIMENTAL STAFF Head of the Regimental Staff with its many and varied activities is Cadet Colonel Joe Summers, who holds the most important and responsible job in the regiment, that of Regimental Commander. With the cooperation of his capable staff. Colonel Summers plans and executes the many different military functions which must be carried out at STMA. Lt. Colonel Jim Weber, Executive Officor, is in command of the Regimental Staff itself and is directly responsible for the effectiveness of the staff. Major Craig Schnell, Regi- mental Adjutant, is in command of the booming voice which fills the Armory many times during the year. Captain Don McMillan, the Intelligence Officer, having nothing more intelligent to do, collects pictures of Cadet Colonels and Commandants. Captain John Seifert has an excellent ability for drawing up many different kinds and shapes of SOP's. Major Mike Merz, the Supply Officer, is an expert on weapons and can do anything from cleaning an Ml to replacing parts of a bazooka. Poge eigh y-fhre« Those We Have Honored On this page are three people who have excelled in their work at St. Thomas during the time that they have spent here. In the first picture Jim Weber is shown receiving one of the Chicago Tribune Awards for outstanding character and military achievement. During the three years that he has been here, Jim has shown that he is well deserving of this award. Mrs. Cutting receives the Silver Dollar Award from Ed Thode who is acting on behalf of the Senior Class of 1955. Mrs. Cutting was given one hundred silver dollars for the outstanding work that she has done for the Senior Classes of the last twenty-five years. Smiling Art Alton put his official seal on this project. In the last picture Joe Summers is shown receiving the other Chicago Tribune Award. We are happy to see Joe receive this award as he is also an excellent choice for receiving it. His character, scholastic ability, and military ability has been clearly demonstrated to everyone con- nected with St. Thomas. Page eighty-four Brian Campion, Battalion Executive Officer, and Jim O'Brien, Battalion Supply Officer. FIRST BATTALION This year the First Battalion is under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Terrence Troy. Terry is one of the most militant and polished oersonalities in the Regiment and is to many the ideal cadet. Assisting Col. Troy in the Battalion's administration are Major Brian Campion, the Executive Officer, Captain James O'Brien, the Battalion Sup- ply Officer. We wish to congratulate Maior Camoion on the amount of time he has spent with the battalion. The Major has many varied duties to perform around the campus and adjoining homes. Captain O'Brien has done a terrific job as Supply Officer although he has had his ups and downs.

A Company has always been the largest one in the Regiment thus making practical work harder than in some of the smaller companies. Sergeant Garvin, after supervising A Company for a few years, has made it a company of which we can be proud. This year under the able leadership of Pat O'Brien and his staff A Company has always been one of the best looking companies in the regiment in parades and reviews. Page eighty.jix Lieutenant (?)

B Company is the best company that Major Maloney ever supervised here at St. Thomas Military Academy. In the same respect Major Maloney is the best super- visor that B Company has had in many years. Major Maloney has not only been supervisor for B Company, but also a good friend. Under the command of John Apel this company has progressed very rapidly due to the admiration for their leaders by the men in ranks.

For many years C Company has shared the spotlight with E Company as being one of the smallest but best companies in the Regiment. This year C Company had the distinction of contributing the Cadet Colonel, Joseph Summers. Dave McCauley, C Company commander, with the aid of his capable staff, has again formed C Company into a top unit. Much of C Company's success can be attributed to the able leadership of Sergeants Miller and Grau. Poflc ninety Sgt. Miller gives a little expert advice. C Company is better than E Company, Sir. Hello, Major. Joe Summers cracks the whip. Looks like Big Bill has a squad. You again. Major? Whoops! Caught him in the act. I wonder if he got them back in their original for- mation. M P A N Y C Colonel Ewing's Promotion During the past three years we at St. Thomas have experienced the leadership of a great man. Colonel John T. Ewing. Colonel Ewing has contributed much to the establish- ment of St. Thomas Military Acad- emy as a first-rate military school, and has done much to earn the re- spect of faculty, administration, and the Corps. This year it was announced that Lieutenant Colonel Ewing was being promoted to the rank of Colonel, and the pictures on this pege de- pict the review at which he received his insignia. Colonel McCarthy, Chief of the Minnesota Military Dis- trict, presented the coveted eagles. As is customary after a three-year hitch , the Colonel is leaving us this year, and since his departure coincides with our own, we of the graduating class of 1955 extend our best wishes and good luck to our departing PMST. Page ninety-two koHHHari Bob Boyle, Supply Officer; Ed Thode, Battalion Commander,- Terry Flynn, Executive Officer. SECOND BATTALION This is the incomparable Second Battalion Staff led by Lt. Col. Edward Thode, Bat- talion Commander. Ed is probably the best-liked officer in this Senior Class, and no matter how busy he is, Ed always has time for a friendly word or two with any Cadet. Bob Boyle, the Battalion Supply Officer, has served very important duties, and Terry Flynn, the Battalion Executive Officer, reigns as commander of this staff. Pape ninety-three Left to right: Tom Pauley, Robert Alton, Mike Goff, Philip Christman, Tom Frampton, Don Urban, Dave Devine, Edward Flesher. Phil Christman, E Company Commander, has been one of the hardest working company commanders in the Regiment. With this asset E Company is bound to be one of the best companies on Competitions Day. This year E Company will lose a great supervisor and friend. Captain T. D. Woodley. Captain Woodley, the man from Okla- homa, has turned E Company over to Captain DiGennaro who is an equally able supervisor. Page ninely-fovr We finally caught Schnell.

F Company will always be a top-notch company as long os Sergeant Smith's expert military qualities are reflected in its members. This year as in other years F Company, under the leadership of Tom Lee, has been chosen many times to be the honor company for VIP's visiting St. Thomas. F Company is definitely as precise as a company can be. Many times we have heard Sergeant Smith's Look to the front! which has contributed to the success of F Company. Poge ninety-six Looks like Boyle just got back from Norwood. Sgt. Smith isn't always serious. Because of Sgt. Smith's expert advice F Company is always one of the best in the regiment.

Sergeant Ezzell always kept morale high in G Company with his sense of humor and friendliness. Sergeant Charlton seems to have replaced Sergeant Ezzell's character in the same respect. Ed Contoski with platoon leaders Dave Kutscher and John Lenzi has contributed many long hours of hard work to the development of G Company as a unit. Page ninely-eight Leon just mode it.

As many of you know, the team suffered this year from a lack of experienced members (John Lenzi is the only Senior on the team), but this did not prevent them from making an excellent showing. The team fired several matches during the year, and roughly half of these were fired away from school. Thus, they have become known as one of the most widely- traveled groups on the campus. Much of the success of the Rifle Team can be attributed to the capable coaching of their newly-acquired advisor. Sergeant Charlton, and the good Sergeant can well be proud of his team's record. Some of the results of the matches fired by the Rifle Team are as follows: St. Thomas — 900 Cretin — 860 St. Thomas — 857 Cretin — 860 William Randolph Hearst Match — 7th place with 24 teams competing. Midwest Indoor Camp Perry Small Bore Rifle Matches, Boonville, Mis- souri—8th place with 21 schools competing. Fifth Army Intercollegiate — 5th place with 10 teams competing. Poflo one hundred GRUENTHER A noted event of nineteen fifty-four was the presen- tation of an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree by the College of St. Thomas to General Maximillian Grucn- ther. The General had been graduated from the Academy in earlier years, and thus the Academy par- ticipated in a joint review in his honor. The pictures hereabouts show his arrival on our campus, his receiving of the degree, and the speech which followed. Left to right: J. Saunders mascot , D. Culligan commander , J. Weber, J.

CRACK SQUAD THE LEGEND OF THE CRACK DRILL SQUAD The basic definition of a Crack Squad: It is understood that a crack drill squad is a group of young men organized into a team for the purpose of presenting a unique drill consisting of manual, steps, and movements not prescribed by infantry drill regu- lations. Pa je one hundred two M The most famous port of the Crack Squad is never seen by its marveling audiences. The Crack Sauad cractice has become a campus institution, with its pre and post practice basketball games, its uniaue initiations of outsiders into the Squad, and the general all-around merriment which accompanies there twice-weekly gatherings. O'B , Mcrzie , Artie ; these are names that will be remembered by the Squad leng af.er the intricate Queen Annes and King Georges have been forgotten. As the year draws to a close, a finale for our nine seniors, it is with a great deal of sadness that we bid cocd-bye to the 1955 Crack Drill Squad. Poge one hundred three FEDERAL INSPECTION Once each year comes an outstanding test of the military skill of the Cadet Corps here at St. Thomas. This is the annual Federal Inspection, which, this year, was conducted under the direction of Colonel R. T. Conners, P.M.S. T. at the University of Minnesota. The Colonel was assisted by Major B. P. Leahey. The inspection was held early this year (30th and 31st of March), and this imposed a particularly heavy load on the Military Staff and the Corps in general. While it is too early to predict the outcome, if is safe to say that the Colonel was very well pleased, and that St. Thomas may well have captured its coveted Honor Rating once again. IRELAND HALL When, as eager Freshmen, we first gazed on Ireland Hall, it looked foreboding. Our first association with the upperclassmen did nothing to alter our first impression. It was all new; it was different, completely different from anything we had ever anticipated. Then as time wore on and the surroundings became more familiar, like a second home, we came to look upon The Hall in a different light. The Deans have been extremely helpful and understanding. Father Eddy in partic- ular. Whether our problems were academic or personal, financial or social; whether it was a matter of demerits or a late pass. Father Eddy always had a sympathetic ear. Griping and complaining have been as much a part of our life as polishing brass and cleaning rooms, and as Seniors we talked of how glad we were to be leaving, but in our hearts we know that life will never offer us another opportunity for community living quite like we experienced in Ireland Hall. When our hand is really called, the Seniors to a man will stand behind St. Thomas. Page one hundred five Arch Word . . . Keep that thumb parallel, Web . . . 11:30 with 11:35 leeway ... All right.

STUDENT COUNCIL The STMA Student Council, under the leadership of Mr. Robert Byrne and Lt. Col. Ed Thode, has truly proved its worth and made for itself a lasting place on the campus. During the year it has performed many valuable functions, including sponsorship of the Homecoming festivities, the All-School mixers, and the daily bulletin board changes. Late in the year, a Council-sponsored project, the Magazine Subscription Drive, netted enough sorely-needed funds to outfit the Academy building with new fluorescent lights, and to place a water fountain on the third floor. Next year the Council plans even more activities, to include five dances, and many other useful, entertaining, and educational projects which will no doubt go a long way toward making the St. Thomas campus even more outstanding and enjoyable than it already is. Congratulations and thanks to Mr. Byrne, who, in his first year as advisor, has shown us what it really means to have an active Student Council.

Through the association of these groups with a nationwide organization, Teen-Age Book Clubs, Inc., they have been able to provide cadets with copies of new teen-age books at prices as low as one-half their current value on the general market. We photographed the Book Clubs with the in- tention of putting their picture in the Kaydet; unfortunately, the film was ruined in development, and we did not have sufficient time to take another picture and still meet our deadline.
