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.

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. Pog rw nty-»hf «
