COLONEL GEORGE E. LANGELAND Principal During our years at St. Thomas, Colonel Langeland's subtle humor, enthusiasm, and directness have helped to carry us through both the rain and sunshine of our academic life. His wise and understanding counsel has time after time created confidence where indecision formerly ruled. We admire Colo- nel Langeland as an educator and a friend, and each and every senior will be thankful in later life for the privilege of learning under the guidance of a man with such infectious good humor, respect for truth, fairness, and understanding. REVEREND JOHN R. ROACH Director No problem we have faced at St. Thomas has proved in- surmountable largely because Father Roach has always been of our side helping us, encouraging us, and indicating the Christian method of solution. With his perfect combination of justice and charity. Father Roach is a man well equipped to supervise the affairs of the cadets. We are sure that every boy will certainly be more of a mon when he has been for- tunate enough to hove worked with Father Roach. ACADEMY COLONEL JOHN T. EWING Professor of Military Science and Tactics Colonel Ewing embodies everything contained in the phrase officer and gentleman . In our past four years, our associa- tion with Colonel Ewing has taught us that to be a soldier means more than wearing a uniform. His qualities of officer- ship, reminiscent' of the old school, have demonstrated that leadership and its accompanying virtues are truly rare quali- ties to admire and strive for in our future lives. Years after we leave this campus, we will treasure our affiliation with Colonel Ewing and be eternally grateful for the opportunity to learn from a man of such sterling character. ADMINISTRATION

THE VERY REVEREND VINCENT J. FLYNN PRESIDENT, ST. THOMAS MILITARY ACADEMY From our four years' association with Father Flynn, we have learned to distinguish the fine from the com- mon, the temporary from the enduring, in all of our principles and concepts of life. He has given to us, partly from his column in the school newspaper and partly from his policies as the President of the Col- lege and the Academy, noble ideals that we all strive to maintain, especially as seniors and leaders. As seniors we can now appreciate his numerous and industrious efforts in our behalf. After observing this brilliant educator and priest constantly and flawlessly mapping out programs that are aimed in only one direction—for the welfare of the students at St. Thom- as—we can only have the deepest respect and grati- tude.
