We are Seniors. In these four years, we have endeavored to grow spiritually toward salvation, physically toward maturity, and men- tally toward erudition. We have witnessed many changes in the past four years. St. Thomas has a new president and a new colonel, a new class schedule and a new ROTC program. Yes, many changes. But this one fact remains unchanged: that we are one class. We have played. studied, worked, and prayed together, and now we are to graduate together. This growth, these changes, are the framework for the memories we have collected over the years. But memo- ries have a habit of growing dim in time. And so we need something to bring them back, to revive them, as it were. It is with this in mind that we present the 1957 KAYDET as a graph- ic illustration of the events, great and small, of this, our final year at St. Thomas. Me Seittcate M Archbishop John Gregory Murray Archbishop Murray's lifelong habits of practicing simplicity and austerity endeared him to all his flock. He will be long remembered by Catholics and non-Catholics alike for his courage, humility, and charity. And particularly here at St. Thomas, he will always occupy a place in our hearts. For without his unfailing guid- ance, his inexhaustable energies, and his infinite patience, St. Thomas could not possibly be what it is today. To him we are forever grateful. Again, recalling what has been said of him, to show a portion of our grati- tude, we dedicate this book to our memory of him. His Excellency has shown youth the way to spiritual perfection by helping it in its quest, through Catholic education. —Koydet1953 We have been the beneficiaries of the fruits of Archbishop Murray's deep inner life, a spiritual power which has fought to pressure the ideals of youth in a time when they are treated with scorn and threatened with extinction. -Kaydet 1952 His Excellency will be remembered by all of us for his deep humility and spirited power, by which, through his clergymen, he has guided the faithful to greater love of their Catholic Faith and Christian ideals. — Kaydet1955 Page tix ♦ Ihts IBook to. Very Reverend Vincent J. Flynn Not often do people such as we have the privilege of becoming ac- quainted with as great a man as was Father Flynn. In retrospect, we remember the pleasant smile, the warm greeting, and the fatherly advice he had for everyone. Although many of us did not know him personally, we gained a sense of serenity merely through his presence on the campus. No greater tribute can be paid to a man so revered than to recall what has been said of him by those before us. Let us contemplate on these words and with them dedicate this book to our memory of him. From our four years of association with men like Father Flynn we have, let us hope, garnered certain firm and basic principles about life, which will contribute to the up- building of our characters and react upon our habits of living. —Kaydet 1954 May we not, as his own sons, point with pride to Father Flynn as a man not only to be admired but to be emulated? -Kaydet 1951 His administrative genius has secured St. Thomos a position of high rank among schools; his personal accomplishments have knighted him a nonpareil among scholas- tics. —Kaydet 1952 Finally having been graduated from the life of this world, you will be freshman again, altogether, let us hope, in heaven, where, as St. Thomas More put it, we shall see each other full merrily.' —Father Flynn, in a letter to the graduating class of 1950 Page � e� er Father Flynn— A Short Biography Father Flynn's first association with St. Thomas was in the fall of 1915 when he entered the Academy as a freshman. Upon graduation he en- tered the St. Paul Seminary and was ordained a priest in 1927. In the fall of that year, he was appointed to the faculty of St. Thomas Military Acad- emy. He paralleled his teaching ca- reer with one of research, concentrat- ing his studies in English literature and the Renaissance. In 1942 he was awarded a research fellowship for the development of this topic. On April 27, 1944, Father Flynn for- mally was installed as the new presi- dent of the College of St. Thomas and St. Thomas Military Academy. At a critical time in the history of both the College and Academy, he made key decisions which successfully carried the institutions through the crisis of that period. In the years immediately following his inauguration, he served as a member or officer of many promi- nent national organizations such as the Association of American Colleges and the National Advisory Committee on Selective Service. But above all these interests which he had on local, state, and national levels. Father Flynn always held the welfare of St. Thomas closest to his heart. He strived to promote a personal friendship with everyone attached to the school and conveyed to all the ideals of St. Thomas and his hopes relating to its future. A brilliant career has ended. But for years to come cherished memories will remain of the man whose immense contributions made St. Thomas much of what it is today. We solemnly salute Father Flynn—a wonderful man, an excellent president, and an outstand- ing priest. Page eight Pog nin HIS EXCELLENCY, ARCHBISHOP WILLIAM O. BRADY Archbishop of St. Paul Our new Archbishop, the Most Reverend William O. Brady, was barn in Fall River, Massachusetts, and was ordained there in 1923. In the following year, he entered the Pontificium Collegium Angelicum, a famous Dominican University in Rome, and one year later he received the degree. Licentiate of Sacred Theology. In 1926, he was appointed a professor of moral theology at the Saint Paul Seminary, and in 1932, Archbishop Murray appointed him Officialis of the Diocesan Tribunal. The next year saw his appointment as rector of the Seminary. Then, in 1939, he was appointed Bishop of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and was y, consecrated by Archbishop Murray on August 24, 1939. On October 8, 1955, Pope Pius XII conferred on him the singular honor of Assistant at the Pontifical Throne. In June of 1956, when Archbishop Murray was severely ill. Bishop Brady was ap- pointed coadjutor Archbishop of St. Paul, with right of succession. When Archbishop Murray died on October eleventh of last year. Bishop Brady became Archbishop. We extend to him our very best wishes for a long and happy reign. THE VERY REVEREND JAMES P. SHANNON President of St. Thomas Military Academy Father Shannon, like his predecessor, was graduated from St. Thomas Academy, where he attained the rank of captain, received two Eagle Awards, was the Crack Squad Commander, and was valedictorian of his class. After his graduation in 1938, he went on to St. Thomas College, where once again he was valedictorian. In 1941, he entered the St. Paul Seminary and was ordained in 1946. During the years 1946-51, he taught at St. Joseph's Academy, Nazareth Hall, and St. Thomas Academy. He attended the University of Minnesota for graduate work, and received a Master of Arts degree in English and History. From there, he entered Yale, where he received his doctorate in American History. His thesis paper, Catholic Colonization in Minnesota, 1876-1881, won for him the George Washington Egelston prize for the best dissertation in American history. Following the death of Father Flynn, Archbishop Murray appointed him the president of the College of St. Thomas and St. Thomas Military Academy. We look forward to a long and fruitful association with him in the years to come. ACADEMY ADMINISTRATION Reverend John R. Roach Director No one will leave such a lasting impression on us after we leave St. Thomas as will Father Roach. His leadership and high ideals have impressed upon us the qualities most essential to the Christian man of the Twentieth Century. His relationship with us has been characterized more by a fatherly interest in our personal welfare than thot of a faculty member and disciplinarian. Colonel George E. Langeland Principal In these days of strife, an educator's task is not an easy one. In addition to giving us the knowledge required of us in today's world, he must give us the wisdom to use it properly. Colonel Langeland's sincere interest in our welfare has fostered a deep affection for him in all of our hearts. No problem is too great or too small for him to handle personally. F09 � w� lv MRS.

Words suddenly become empty, and we are unable to express what is in our hearts. Can we say thank you ? Will those two words even begin to repay you for everything you have done for us? Can those two words express our gratitude? If they can, then we say thank you, thank you with all our hearts. But we must say more. When we came here as freshmen, we were afraid and confused, but you gave us courage and showed us the way. As sophomores, we felt we knew it all. You showed us that there was more to be learned. When we became juniors, we felt that we had reached the top, but you reminded us of a Greater Goal. Once again, while we were seniors, you saved us from our- selves. And we propose to repay all your kindness with a simple thank you ? Nonsense. We shall be FOREVER indebted to you! But we must go now, for Father Time says that our high school days are past. We ask one more favor of you before we go,- that is, will you remember us? We shall always remember you, in our minds, in our hearts, and in our prayers. Sincerely, The Class of '57 Pago $ovtnteon All available material on the subject Indicates the general decline of usage of trite figures of speech. All right, so it does taste terrible. It is coffee, isn't it? Now truthfully, people, since you're not going to learn this stuff anyway, we might Just as well not learn it in a hurry. This excuse does look forged, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt. dimnas ilitaru iVcabcmy $JmiI 1, iflinufftotji June 5, 1957 TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1957: It is with sincere regret that the faculty says farewell to the graduates of this class of 1957. It has been a pleasant and agreeable class. You have cooperated well with the administration and the military. You have accepted our corrections, admonitions, and advice with a spirit of genuine appreciation. We have no doubts that you will succeed in the profession of your choice, that you will learn how to make a good living; but our deepest concern is will you know how to live? Will you enter upon your college career or your life's work with a clear idea of the importance of a broad cultured background and a good understanding of the fine values in this world and the next? Will you cherish your faith and defend it in a world that is rapidly shifting to unbelief? In other words, as you go out into the world in this atomic age —a world whose future may be bubbling in some test tube this very hour —will you be worthy St. Thomas men with a sound moral philosophy of life? To whom much is given, much is expected in return, and we hope you have received much. If St. Thomas has done anything for you, beyond preparing you for college —we trust is has sharpened your realization of how important your attitude toward life is. May Almighty God bless you in the years ahead. Sincerely, The Faculty Mcsdames Laughlin, White, Alton and Deig confer with Fr. Hermes. Mothers' Club tea Fathers help out at a mixer. Mothers' Club This year, tho Mother's Club has enjoyed one of the most successful years of its long history. Under its moderator. Father Hermes, and its officers, Mrs. R. Laughlin, President; Mrs. R. White and Mrs. H. Johnson, Vice-Presidents; Mrs. H. Alton, Secretory; and Mrs. F. Deig, Treasurer, the Mothers' Club has contributed vastly to the Academy. In addition to sponsoring the popular Friday night mixers and the Military Ball, they havo this year, published a notoworthy book, Tradition of Excellence. We appreciate all this organ- ization has done for us, and give them our best wishes for the future. Fathers' Club The Fathers' Club, under the direction of its President, Mr. A. Adam; Vice-President, Mr. C. Cronin; Secretary, Mr. H. Johnson; Treasurer, Mr. A. Lethert; and the moderator. Father Roach, has carried on the fine tradition set by the club in its previous years. They spon- sor four smokers each year, as well as the Parents' Weekend, tho annual Father-Son Banquet, the Activities Communion Breakfast, and the annual talent show. In addition, the Fathers' Club provides all acadomic prizes and activities awards. Wo are indebted to them for this, and the many other things which they have done for us in the last few years.

Skltgtoit Peg tw«Aty-one The Ring The Flag The St. Thomas Senior Class Ring is a symbol of an educational achievement. Since the very purpose of education is to know God, it seems fitting that the class ring should be blessed. As a result of this blessing, it is hoped that those who wear such rings will be constantly reminded of the spiritual significance of education, and of the obligation to lead exemplary lives as a result of that education. In these days when so much omphasis is placed on materialistic ideas, this class ring blessing is presented to the Seniors at St. Thomas with the hope that it will help to spiritualize the meaning of graduation from the Academy. The United States flag is a symbol of a Military Institution. The purpose of such an institution is to serve our country under God. It, therefore, seems proper that the flag should be blessed. The bless- ing of the flag has come to be a tradition at St. Thomas. It signifies the beginning and the end— the beginning, the preparation for a new year in which the flag will be used; the end, the termina- tion of service of the old flag, worn through constant use. In these days when faithfulness to country is so evident and important, we must remember that it is in reality, faithfulness to God and for that rea- son, the blessing of the flag helps to spiritualize the meaning of patriotism. Page twenty-two Pictured above is Father Hermes carrying the Blessed Sacrament in the procession closing Forty Hours Devotion, and below the Cadets attend the regular Friday Bcno- diction. 40 Hours Devotion Since St. Thomas is primarily a Catholic school, one of the more familiar sights on our Campus is the Chapel where we are given the opportunity to participate in all phases of spiritual endeavor. Every Friday at noon we attend Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A dialogue Mass is cele- brated on First Friday, followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Cadets may receive daily the Sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist. There is a special Forty Hours Devotion for faculty and cadets late in the fall. During Lent, we attend Benediction and make the Way of the Cross. A Day of Recollection is held twice during the year for all cadets, in addition to the Seniors' closed retreats at Pine City and Buffalo, Minne- sota.

Contact This year, through the untiring efforts of Father Hermes, adviser, and Tim Nolan, chairman. Con- tact has had a rebirth on our campus. Early in November, St. Thomas, for the first time, sow an induction ceremony of nearly two hundred fifty cadets. Father Sweeny, founder of the city-wide youth organization, officiated at the ceremony. Throughout the year this organization, with representatives from each class, has actively spon- sored both school and city events. Poge twenty-four Feast of St. Thomas Aquinas P 9« tw nty-fiv« On March 7, the members of the Academy and College faculties and graduating seniors marched in a solemn procession and assembled to honor the patron of our school, St. Thomas Aquinas. His Ex- cellency, Archbishop William O. Brady celebrated the Pontifical High Mass. The day, marked by pomp and ceremony, was attended by visiting religious dignitaries of the archdiocese. Over eighty clergy- men responded to the invitation to join with us in honoring the patron soint of schools. The celebration of the day was also supplemented by the publication of the book, Tradition of Excel- lence honoring Father Flynn and other presidents of the Academy, as well as familiarizing the St. Thomas family with our new president, the Very Reverend James P. Shannon. The celebration of St. Thomas Day is a reminder to all participating of the function of schools—that it is through them, young men and women may be- come the leaders of tomorrow. The freshman year at the Academy is defined by a concentrated study of the Liturgy of the Catholic Church. This study is not done strictly from the toxtbook, but all available material is put at the student's disposal. The picture at left depicts two stalwarts of the Freshman Religion classes, pointing out some of the important feasts of the Church Liturgical Year on one of Father Ozark's charts. Father Dooley, in his association with the boarder cadets, has developed them into on efficient group of assistants for chapel functions. In addition to serving for all religious ceremonies, a number of them care for the administration of the sacristy by making the necessary prepara- tions for all of these functions. The picture at the left shows two of the sacristans arranging the vestments for Moss while the two servers look on. Junior Religion takes up a detailed study of the Fifth and Seventh Commandments as well as Church History. These topics are illuminated by the many outside sources Father White uses to convey these principles of the Faith. In the picture at the left. Father White reads to one of his Junior sections from a text on the principles of the Fifth Commandment.

A man without the slightest hope To see the light of day, A poor, lost soul with no deck of cards To pass the time away. The song of a dead broke boarder Is worse than the one above.

The three diamonds are the military symbol of the highest honor the Academy con bestow on a cadet. The Cadet Colonel, who commands the regiment, must be able to make quick and timely decisions. Leonard Hauer has proven himself worthy of this honor in military, academics, and extra-curricular activities. Pictured at the left are the three Cadet Lieutenant Colonels: Tom Bieter, Joe Reymann, and Bill Mogan. They assist Cadet Colonel Hauer in leading the corps. The Lieutenant Colonels are chosen for their dependabil- ity, military proficiency, and leadership on the field and in the classroom. The Chicago Tribuno Gold and Silver awards, are given to the most deserving seniors. Leonard Hauer received the Gold award for military and scholastic achievement. His military ability is unquestionable and he is truly an outstanding student. Tim Nolan was honored with the Silver award for military excel- lence. Tim well deserves the award because he is considered one of the best officers of the corps. These awards are only a prelude to the many honors that we feel will be bestowed on them in later life.

Rifle Team The St. Thomas Military Academy Rifle Team each year has ranked close to the top in the United States. And this year was no exception. Through the excellent guidance and quick think- ing of Sergeant Charlton, these marksmen have ot- taned a high degree of success and prominence. Throughout the Fast year the team has fired sev- eral matches both at home and away. They have become known as one of the most widely-traveled groups on the campus. The cherished memories of their famous trips will long remain in the minds of all the team members. The numerous honors and medals won by these sharpshooters is more then sufficient evidence of their tremendous ability.

When we, the members of the 1957 Crock Squad, depart from St. Thomas, we shall always look upon our days on the squad as the most joyous and rewording of our high school life. From the outset of our self-determined cuts to the termination— our final Military Ball drill—we have endeavored to preserve the tradition and heritage of the squads that have preceded us. Shag's arm pit shirts, the TV box, O'Kee's hair cut, our geometric figures, Red's T-shirt, the snowball fights with the boarders, the basketball games and guitar music that filled practices, and the trips to the Flat Top and drugstore ore but a few of the things that shall always be a source of lingering memories. As the year concludes, the departing seniors, Shag, Merzie, Fitz, Hasker, Des, O'Kee, Squirrel, Gonny Red, and Hair Boy, deport to ever retain the memory of a year well spent. In parting, we presuppose that the Crack Squad will continue to prosper, bearing unity, prido, and dignity foremost through the years along with the same brotherly feeling we have for each other, for with these attributes the Crack Squad will always flourish.

Gridiron in Review If this year's Tommie Football Team lacked any- thing in the way of ability, its spirit and determination made up for it. In spite of the fact that the team had many unfortunate injuries which sidelined expe- rienced players, the Tommies still compiled a respect- able four-four record. The team opened the season at Eau Claire, Wis- consin, against Regis. The absence of Dan Flynn, Earl McGovern, and Tom Emmer through injuries before the season ever started, weakened the team and was probably responsible for the 33-6 loss. A few days later the team suffered its second defeat at the hand of Winona Cotier, 6-0. Things were looking rather discouraging; however, the Tommies kept up their spirit and won the next four games in a row under the excellent leadership of the seniors—especially captain Denny Keese. The Cadets defeated St. Michael's, Austin Pacelli, St. Cloud Cathedral, and Duluth Central. Then on a bright sunny Sunday afternoon, the Cadets took on a powerful Cretin team. In a hard fought game Cretin won 20-0; but the Cadets showed great team spirit. Even in the last few minutes when defeat was inevitable, they were still fighting valiently. In their finest game of the season the Tommies met a tough De La Salle team. Harold Loewenstine ran well, scoring two touchdowns in the second half. Denny Keese showed why he was selected as an All-State guard by a mignificent display of blocking and tackling. The Tommies should have won this game, but their inability to moke points after touch- down (a defect which plagued them the entire sea- son) deprived them of the season's most coveted victory. As it was, they lost, 19-18. A season such as that experienced by the Tommies this year presents severe tests of justice, perseverance, and understanding by the coaching staff, which they ably met.

Basketball The basketball team was not up to the caliber of last year's team, because it was young and inexperienced. Led by Dan Flynn, Jerry Kimball, and hustling Denny Keese the team had to make up what it lacked in height, ability and experience with spirit and hustle. The fought and played De La Salle, the State Catholic Champion, to a standstill twice. The season was concluded with the regional tournament game against Cretin which we lost 50-49 on a technical foul after time had run out. Denny Keese, Dan Flynn, and Pog nin«ty-� ix Tom Gorton were chosen as members of the all regional team. Next year's squad should be stronger with mony experi- enced underclassmen returning. Jim Kunz, Mike Sifferle, and Nick Theis are but three of the returning lettermen. Coach Rumsey again skillfully guided the cagers. To further his knowledge of the team and the sport, he in- corporated many unique methods into coaching, such as tape recording the games and divising his own system of Univac.

The junior Toms made many technical errors and this, coupled with their poor shooting, was responsible for their first defeat of the year. STMA 36 Rochester 38 In their second game the Cadets showed a marked improvement in their all-around play. Although their poor shooting still plagued them, the Tommie's close man-to-mon defense held the well-balanced Rochester team in check for the entire game. STMA 40 St. Louis 74 Ono of the finest public school teams in the state provided too much opposition for the Cadets. Such outstanding players as Todd Davidson, and Rog Platikow had too much height and rebounding power for us to contend with. STMA 41 Washington 29 Superior defensive play by the whole team was responsible for the first victory of the season. Both teams played control ball looking for the good shots, but it was the control of the boards that won the game for the Cadets. STMA 50 Winona Cotter 34 It was the Cadet shooting that won for them their second victory of the year. Dan Flynn led tho scoring, but it was a team victory all the way. This victory proved to be one of the high points of the year, os Cotter went on to the State Tournament where they were runner-up to De La Salle. STMA 37 Johnson 28 The Cadets continued their winning streak by defeating St. Paul Johnson 37-28. Both teams played control ball, and once again it was the Cadet's fine defense that proved to them the margin of victory. STMA 36 Central 40 This was a rough one to lose as the Cadets led all the way only to see their lead disappear in the final minutes of play. Coach Rumsey used many substitutes in this game, and judging from their perform- ances, the future of basketball at the Academy appears to be bright. Poqo ninety-eight STMA 38 Cretin 56 The Tommie opened the conference season at Cretin. The Cadets and the Raiders played even through the first half, but it was Cretin's terrific fast breaking and the equally terrific shooting ability of Tom Rogers that won the game for them. STMA 35 St. Cloud 34 The Cadets took their first conference victory in one of the most exciting games seen in O'Shaughnessy Hall this season. The junior Toms' fine defensive play and Cathedral's equally fine zone dofense were responsible for the low scoring. A last-second shot by the St. Cloud center rolled off the rim to assure the Cadets of a victory. STMA 51 DeLa Salle 68 The Cadets traveled to the homo of the Islanders with restrained confidence. Actually they played one of their better games of the year, shooting well and doing a fine defense job on Paul Lehman, Islander ace. Jerry Kimball turned in one of his best games scoring fourteen points. STMA 49 Cretin 50 As the Cadets met Cretin in the Regional Playoffs not many figured that they stood much of a chance against the powerful Cretin team. The game appeared to be running true to form as the Cadets trailed by ten at half time. But a Cadet team that wouldn't say die fought back in the second half to tie the game at the end of regulation play. A technical foul called after the game ended gave Cretin the victory. Shosky, Kimball, Gorton, Flynn, and Keese played terrific basketball in their last game for the Cadets. The latter two deserve special praise for the honors they received. Dan Flynn was named to the All-Regional squad, and Denny Keese was given honorable mention on it. STMA 57 Cretin 83 The return meeting with the Raiders was a rout from the start. The Cadets never got started as Rogers, Finley, Sampair, and company shot at an incredible rate. The Cadets shot well but were helpless against Cretin's relentless attack. STMA 74 St. Cloud 57 This was without a doubt the finest performance turned in by the Cadets during the season. The fine play of the team was overshadowed by the brilliant performance of Dan Flynn who made twelve of fifteen shots for twenty-four points.

Hockey As the hockey season neared, many hopeful candidates began to train in anticipation of gaining berths left empty on the squad by last year's seniors. From this large group and the returning lettermen, a well-conditioned and highly spirited squad with a love for competition developed. Led by co-captains Tom Koppy and Tom Emmer, and the hustle of Terry Hughes, the team gained experience and polished their patterns more each game. This gain was climaxed in the Prep School Invitational Tournament where the Cadets played an inspired game—wo believe the best in the tournament. Not to be forgotten were the many hours of hard work which Mr. Byrne put in, both correcting the team's weak- nesses and developing its assets.

Their support of our various teams has been continuous no matter what the score or outcome of the game. Bill Brennan and his assistants are to be con- gratulated by the student body, and the teams, both of whom have benefited from their hard work. Intramurals The intramural program has once again been a tremendous success under Prof McKoskey and Sergeant Grau. This year there has been a change in the intramural program over last year. Anyone who participated in varsity athletics was not allowed to participate in intramurals. This resulted in more cadets being able to par- ticipate. The program this year has included foot- ball, volleyball, basketball, swimming, softball, and track. The competition this year has been especially spirited. We wish to thank Prof McKoskey and Sergeant Grau for their fine organization and handling of the program. Poge o e fevered I would, as president of the Student Council, like to publicly thank the mem- bers of this year's Council, who have not received much of the recognition they deseive. I would like to enumerate just a few of the accomplishments of the Student Council of 1957. The Council members helped the administration with registration. As scon as this was completed, they started planning for the Homecoming festivities. I feel sure that every cadet can say that this year's Homecoming was the best in his years at St. Thomas, and only so because months of behind-the-scenes work had been put into it particularly by the senior Council members. Probably the most notable activities for which the Council was responsible were the four all-school mixers. Speaking of these mixers brings up the guiding force behind the whole Student Council, Mr. Byrne, our adviser. Having been on the Council for four years, I feel qualified to say that Mr. Byrne is the founda- tion upon which the present St. Thomas Student Council is built. As some may remember, the Council used to be something of a forgotten group of cadets who every so often sold tickets for this or that. But this was changed a great deal by Prof Byrne's enthusiastic guidance of the members. His four years have seen the great advances which have made the council a respected and much appreciated help to ihe students and faculty. So, to the fellows and Prof Byrne, let me say that I think you're a great bunch, and I know that the Student Council will keep up its tremendous work.

Senior Class Play On Thursday, March 14, the Senior Class presented the third annual Senior Class Play, Brother Orchid, a three-act comedy by Leo Brady. Brother Orchid directed by Mr. Meyers, was a great success, with a record attendance of over six hundred. The play concerns a gangster. Little John Sarto, who returns to civilian life after ten years on The Rock only to find that the mob doesn't want him any longer. After being shot, he seeks refuge in a monastery. This results in a humorous comedy of errors, including some not in the script. As Brother Orchid, Little John creates a major disturbance in the monastery with such escapades as playing Alexander's Ragtime Band on the chapel organ. When the Gimp's mob moves in on the good brothers' posey racket, Little John takes over and puts the Gimp out of business. Angry at Little John for breaking up the gang.

From that small and gallant start grew on ambulance service which, during World War I, carried more than five hundred thousand wounded. In 1917, the twenty-five hundred volunteers were incorporated into the United States Army. They again served actively during World War II. After the war, incorporation of an exchange program for high school seniors was founded to carry on their tradition of world understanding and service. This year Earl McGovern, Tom O'Keefe, and Joe Rcymann won scholarships to European countries: Earl to Italy, and Tom and Joe to Germany. All exchange students live with families in the country they visit, and participate in the activities of their families. After spending seven weeks with their adopted families, Earl, Tom, and Joe joined the other six hundred ninety-six American students from all over Europe in Paris for one week. An American Exchange Student's duty after re- turning to the United States is to foster further coop- eration and instill the ideals of peace and democracy among the foreign students who arc visiting our country.

The making of a yearbook is no small task. It demands of its creators long hours and hard labor, rewards them only with a dubious satisfaction and the disconcerting thought that it could have been better. We of the Staff have given full measure of blood, sweat, and tears, and it is with deepest relief that we now write a FINIS to our work. It is only fitting that we here pay dus gratitude to those who helped make this yearbook possible. To Mr. Kurtz, our adviser, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks, for with- out his patience, understanding, and competent guidance, this book could never have been possible. We wish to express our gratitude to Mr. A. Muellerleile and Mr. Jim Leadon and all of the North Central Publishing Company, for their much needed advice. Thanks to Mr. Quick and the Reay Engravers, for their efficient service and co- operation. We thank Mr. George Trudell of Trudell's Studios, and Mr. Richard Klein, for their patience and faultless photography. We wish to express our thanks to those of the faculty whose patience we have tried —Father Roach, Colonel Langeland, Mrs. Cutting, Miss Glenn, Mrs. Wollan, Mr. Keane, Mr. Westline, Mr. O'Brien, and especially Mr. McKoskey, for his advice. We are deeply indebted to Mr. Byrne, Earl McGovern, and the Student Coun- cil, for their most essential help in producing our division pages. To the Military Staff, and especially Mrs. McRaith, we wish to express our apologies for the many inconveniences we have caused them and our thanks for their patient understanding. To Mr. Don Leyden and Mr. Harry Webb, and the College Administration for their invaluable help and cooperation. Thanks to Bill Gray for his art work when we needed it most. And to all of the seniors who have assisted us in producing this yearbook, thanks. The Editors Page one hundred forty-four Remember When Shag came to English Father Eddy was Dean of Ireland Hall.
