Before We Begin... The senior ring symbolizes the culmination of our precious years at St. Thomas. In the past four years, our lives have been enriched and nourished by the spirit of mutual friendship and cooperation that is the St. Thomas trademark. Our association with this academy will always be a source of pride and fond memories. In this book, you will see portrayed our work, our play, our prayers, and our successes. We hope, through your appreciation of these aspects of cadet life, that you will also appreciate the things not pictured in this book. The study, the labor, the laughter, and the friendships that have been the ingredients used in moulding our years at St. Thomas into a memorable and profitable experience cannot be set down in black and white, for these are intangibles. For these we are thankful, because without them, our ring and diplomas would be nothing but hollow symbols of wasted years. So as our class joins the ranks of our predecessors, we earnestly desire this book to represent our career at St. Thomas in its truest light. This objective cannot be accomplished without first revealing the debt of gratitude which we owe to the spirit of St. Thomas. It is this intangible spirit of cooperation and friendship which has guided our endeavors and to which we attribute our success.
