In the center is Saint Thomas More wearing the chain of the Chancellor of the British kingdom.

On the right is the Tower of London, where Thomas More was imprisoned; fellow English martyrs, including Carthusian monks and Saint John Fisher, the Cardinal Bishop of Rochester, England, who also refused to recognize Henry as head of the Church; and the saint's family.

On the left are Blarney Castle and Henry O'Neill the Irish martyr (1651), reminiscent of O'Neill's Irish origins; the great fire of Baltimore (1904) which shows Mr. O'Neill's store remaining unharmed by the flame; his sister, a member of the Sisters of charity, and a group of school children, suggestive of his work as a trustee of Saint Mary's Industrial School in southwest Baltimore.

Two of the most famous pupils of the school are shown in the forefront of the group with one of the Xaverian Brothers who ran the school: George Herman "Babe" Ruth is shown with the bat and ball, and Al Jolson, vaudeville entertainer, is shown to the right.
