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
