Praise should also be heaped upon the lieutenantS and sponsors of the brigade who have proven without doubt that if there were more boys brigades with the high physical and moral standards of the St. Thomas lads, who will be the men of tomorrow, then Americas s future as a free nation would be assured. So, gentlemen, HATS OFF!
