June 6, 1956 TO THE FACULTY: We, the Senior Clou of 1956, wish to express our deepest gratitude to you, the faculty, for the great assistance you have given us in our past four years. Aside from the knowledge that you have instilled through untiring efforts, we feel that you have also enriched our personalities. This has been attained through the individual attention and interest that you have devoted to each of us. Your vigor, timely humor, informality in and out of the classroom, general under standing, and companionship, we believe, will be remembered long after we have left St. Thomas. You kind gentlemen have enriched our lives in more ways than you prob- ably realize. Our observance of your exemplary lives has enabled us to appreciate that there is more to this life than the words written in books, thus we should be more able to think like men of action and act like men of thought —in the best of Christian principles. THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1956

MOTHERS' CLUB FATHERS' CLUB Since 1938 the St. Thomas Mothers' Club has steadily grown in campus influence and effectiveness. The constant interest of the mothers in financial and social affairs has helped both the student body and the administration. We are especially grateful for the time and interest they have given to make our Fri- day night mixers so pleasant and enjoyable, and also for the wonderful reception they conduct in con- nection with the Military Ball. We wish to thank per- sonally Mrs. Raymond Allard, the President of the Mothers' Club, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Johnson, and all of those parents who served on the mixer and Mili- tary Ball committees. The Fathers' Club has had an amazingly successful year under the direction of Mr. Mel Sweet. The larg- est group ever to attend Parents' Week-end was on campus for this two-day event in October. The smok- ers have been well attended, and, all in all, the club has been highly successful. The money collected by the Fathers' Club has been used for a number of things at the Academy which we would hove to do without were it not for this group's generosity. Their most important contribution, however, has been the consistent demonstration of interest in the cadets shown by our fathers. We express our deepest grati- tude to Messrs. Sweet, Adam, Lethcrt, Gleason, and all the directors for their untiring work in our behalf. Page sixteen
