Up to the present St. Bede College has specialized in preparing advanced students for the seminary. Many graduated collegians are found among the priests in the Peoria, Rockford, and Chicago dioceses, and many members of the monastery were scholars in the college. ir 'A' St. Bede Academy attempts to produce young men well rounded in all elementary fields of education. Besides courses in physical science, mathematics, the classics, and social science, a religious background is given, discipline is de- manded, and athletics and the fine arts are encouraged.

Twenty-six seniors of the fifty were listed in the fourth year literature class. Three major sciences showed an enrollment of twenty-nine seniors. The science club was inaugurated at the mid-year. The choir, the band, and independent musicians kept St. Bede in the world of music. Though the art in- structor was on leave of absence most of the year, individual efforts proved that St. Bede was not wanting in artists.

If we were day students, it was something similar-wand then a rush to the bus. Classes occupied the morning from eight to eleven-thirty. Then all to dinner with a fight over the victuals and an argument with the waiters. After meal there was a tussle on the grounds or in the gym until the bell tolled the start of afternoon classes. After class we day students rushed to the bus again and were lost to St. Bede for the rest of the day. And we boarders trotted down to the shack for a little refreshment and on to the campus for a healthy workout. Then up to the study hall again and perhaps to the library. Again to the refectory. After supper, a card game or a restful radio program in the Club room. Another study period at seven-thirty and to bed at nine. On Saturdays and Sundays we all convened for mealsg otherwise we followed the will o' the wisp. f . . .fel i1 .ldllfflf be appnizlted I0 go 11190111 . . . lex! llrerlmpf nl .ffllflifflf hmlher be found IVAN! gizfeih hizmelf ll lo idlezlen' or vain talk, . .

But that the physical plant of the college is greatly inadequate has also been recognized. Hence, when the monks have vacated the south wing of the present building to occupy their new quarters, that wing will be renovated to meet the requirements of a larger school. When the junior college is accredited next September, the enrollment will, no doubt, increase. At that time it will become necessary to have private rooms for the students. And according to the present plan, a large number of the refurnished rooms are to be available as private sleeping quarters for them. The remaining rooms are to be converted into school rooms. The chapel will still occupy the entire third floor of the south wing and will be the spiritual headquarters for the students while at St. Bede College. ,A 5, ' QTY- VA lf! FR.

The fifty members of the class of '41 have tried, during their four years here, to do as much as they could to distinguish themselves. One of their most important accomplishments is this yearbook. Although many other graduating classes have tried, in past years, to publish an annual, their plans have never gone beyond the dreaming stage. This class, however, thinking that a yearbook would best be started on the Hftieth anniversary of the school, decided that it just wouldn't be content without one, and the result is before you. The graduates, as is customary, are giving a present to the school. Their gift is a reliquary, to be placed in the chapel. Many of the members of the senior class have done much to make themselves stand out among their fellow students. james and William Walsh have starred on the basketball team. Dan LaBounty has been a fine boxer. Florian Mores was chosen as the outstanding athlete of the year. Not all the seniors' achievements, though, were conhned to the Held of sports. August Uttich, besides his accomplishments in journalism and music, has managed to maintain an all-A grade throughout the four years that he has been here. And Richard Teall has been one of the finest actors the academy has ever had. When they leave St. Bede, more than one senior will be more than a little sorry to go. The ties and friendships that they have made here will be remem- bered for many years more than will any troubles that they may have had, and they will always be happy that they were able to attend St. Bede. lufefzly-three LET Tl-IE DI. mdguide BERNARD ALBLINGER A b QIVESDALEJ Gildea Medal QZQ, President, junior Club OJ, Football Manager 13, 4j, Secretary, Science Club MJ, Bowling MQ, Debates My Never do today what you can portihly put of till tomorrow.

The gymnasium, the campus, the music rooms, the stage, the shack, and the club rooms more than filled the time between school work. The gym offered the basketball floor, the bowling alleys, the pool room, and the swimming pool, on the campus the tennis courts, baseball diamond, the football field, or just walking attracted us. A daily workout kept us feeling healthy. For pleasant loafing we visited the shack for a bit of refreshment, turned to the clubroom for a game of cards or a radio program, or wandered off for a quiet walk in the woods. Musicians, thespians, journalists, and debaters managed to find time to follow their pursuits, and results from the extra-curricular endeavors rewarded the participants. if SPMNG FOOTBALL PRACTICE nk . 5- M lr i......,, r First Row: Manager Bernard Alhlinger, lidward Peseitelli, Charles Lewis, joseph Dailey, Elmer jeanquenat, Peter Sampo, joseph Riley Michael Kelly, Rohert lee, john Daly, jnmex Hackett, Robert Vincenzo.

In the first game of the season Chester Kukula, the spark of the team, and jack Flynn sus- tained injuries which kept them out of the regular lineup all season. The Bruins scored 95 points to their opponents' 70 in their seven game schedule. The team won three games, lost three, and tied one. Twenty-four major awards were given to members of the football squad. Seven seniors, Leno Bernabei, Stanley Dzarnowski, Frank Kozel, Chester Kukula, Martin Granfield, Edward Touchalauski and Florian Mores were on the teams. Mores was named the most valuable plyaer.

Though the college team lost many of their games, they showed great ability for a newly organized team. Led by the spark of the team, Captain joseph Van Hooreweghe, the Bruin cagers hnished by win- ning the consolation cup at the Catholic State Tourna- ment and a second place prize in the Down-state Conference . Scoring an average of eight points more a game over their opponents, the team ended the season with a string of nineteen wins and only seven losses. This year the team lost three seniors, Pinky and Paddy Walsh and Florian Mores. Pinky played guard and Paddy, the key-position and both managed to slip in points at the right momentsg Flory could be depended on when the going was tough and a steady hand was needed. Captain Van Hooreweghe was the outstanding player, scoring consistently and many times piloting the team out of the tough spots. BY josizim KANE Starting almost from scratch, the college men organized a hardwood squadg but due to the lack of a coach the group started the season badly. The whole machinery fell apart when Captain Ernest Rickert left the team, but life returned when Dom Sylvester Palacz offered to coach.

The first meet was with LaSalle-Peru and the boys succeeded in walking away with a victory. Daniel Lilly, William Walsh, Richard Evans, and Richard Teall also played in the sectional state tournament and made a very fine showing. The players on the team were mostly com- prised of seniors.

This year's team, captained by Dan LaBounty and coached by Tony Komlanc, took in four matches with Loyola, Culver, Libertyville, and Holy Name Tech. The greatest interest ever shown in boxing history at St. Bede was displayed in the intramural Golden Gloves. Coach Bacevich and the Varsity Club spon- sored the affair. Approximately eighty boys took part in the affair, making it the biggest boxing event ever held at St. Bede. By DAVID BROWN In 1941 a winning intramural bowling team formed a pseudo-varsity team, but they were unable to secure any matches. The team, however, defeated the Mother's club, but lost to the Clerics. The pro- moters of the team were john Kornak and jack L. Sullivan.

We are proud of our intramural program, which is the most extensive in the state. The season began shortly after school started in September. The majority of the students participated in all sports. The first sport to be played was softball, which was run in regular tournament style. This year Dom Mini led his Jeeps on to win in the senior division, Dario Biagoli led his Boomerangs to a championship in the junior divisiong and jack Tieman pitched his Yanks to victory in the boys' division. Following softball, horseshoes was played. This title was copped by joe Muzzarelli in the boys' division, Al Ternetti in the junior division, and john Kornak in the senior division. Then touch-football came into the limelight and proved to be one of the most popu- lar intramural sports. Dan LaBounty captained his Ramblers to the goal line in the senior division, again it was jack Tieman and his Pirates in the junior divisiong and jim Lloyd and his Bruins held all the power in the boys' division. Next we kicked and were kicked through a soccer tournament, which was won by the Dalzellians under Dom Mini, and the Rockets headed by Louie Orlandini. Intramural Managers: joseph Fitten, john Hayden, john Forced by the wintry blasts to take to our large and well equipped gym, the volleyball nets were thrown up. The balls Hew around, and eventually the Aces led by Ray Moenich walked off with the junior title, the Hawks led by Charles Bodinger took the midget title, and jack Sullivanis Ramblers won the senior division title. Next four tournaments were run off simultaneously, Rog O'Connor's Strikes win- ning in checkers, Bernard Alblinger's Ramblers in bowling, Dom Mini's Jeeps in table tennis, and jerry O'Connor's Moes in basketball. A golf-basketball L. bullivan tourney saw three boys shoot their way to victory in the three divisions: Frank Devinney in the boys', jack Daly in the junior, and Ray Ceresa in the senior. Ray Terrando, Dario Biagioli, and joe jankowski, won the free throw contest in the boys, junior and senior ranks respectively. Then came spring and the young man's fancy turned to-outdoor sports. Handball and tennis were played, followed by a horseshoe tournament and spring softball. --w-r DIQAMA ,l '35 f SUQNE FROM PLEIADES SHOW' Vlolm Tres, Riclmrrl Teall, August Uttieh, joseph Kane if BA1.L12'r lrlmes Wzxlsli, joseph Dailey, Alex Yokutis, Robert Heiser, and Paul Kelly jlfly-llrn Upper Rooml' cast: Bernard Uttich, the slave boyg Donald Broderick, St. Peterg Williain Leser, the soldierg Loren Haas, Veronicag Wil- liam Aplington, the Blessed Virging Richard Teall, St. johng Frank Culen, Mary Magdalen: Adrian Revell, joseph of Aritmathiag Raymond Morrissey, the landlord Eecfamt Jaw Mage pl1.aJuc?fian4 lfze qeafz. By Rlcgnauo TEALL ELF-EXPRESSION through the extracurricular mediums of dramatics, debating, public speaking, and talent programs, was found to be surprisingly popular among the students of St. Bede during 1941. Dom Fabian Revell, head of the reorganized drama club, managed and directed a number of stage productions with very noticeable success and merited for himself increasing popularity as a dramatic coach through his fine exhibitions of directing. The season's opening comedy, Papa Behavef' brought some fame to Thomas Syron and Donald Broderick, as well as to the supporting cast. Probably the most successful production was Benson's Lenten drama, The Upper Room,'l which, once an annual presentation, was revived on the St. Bede stage after seven years. Bernard Uttich, Eugene Balsavich, Frank Cullen of the academy, and Raymond Morrissey of the college, particularly gave fine exhibitions in the three presentations of the play. The HPLEIADES Variety Show combined mock opera, melodrama, Shakespearian soliloquies, and specialty songs and uncovered hidden talents in john Tres, August Uttich, john E. Sullivan, james Wzilsh, Richard Teall, and many others. Senior Richard Rayunas has held the position of stage manager for three years. With the assistance of several students during performances, his has been the responsibility of making the stage props and lighting effects. jifly-lliree 711-e pfeiacfed rua! Zlfze feeccacfd weae az , Jul' weae , ina LITTLE can be written of the history of the PLEIADES, for it has none. This is its first publication. Nevertheless, judging from the enthus- iasm and success given this firct issue, it seems that the publication of a yearbook at St. Bede will become an annual institution. Yet, even if the practice of publishing an annual is never followed through, the PLEIADES will have served its purpose. It exists now as a mark of fifty years of progress -A-that half century of progress which is the history of St. Bede. The members of the PEIADES staff of 1941 were August Uttich, editor, john Tres, business man- ager, joseph Kane, staff artist, and Dom Kenneth Funk, faculty adviser. The assisting committee, elected by the senior class, included Paul Aplington, john Hayden, Philip McGinnis, james Rooney, and james Walsh. Other members of the committee who were appointed were: john Comyns, David Brown, Cornelius Hollerich, john Hebel, and Donald Bernardi. Twenty-one years ago, the first issue of the St. Bede 72cwi'd.i' was published. The Records, issued ten times during the school year, is a charter member of the Catholic School Press Association, and received the All-Catholic rating for the last five years and seven times since the association was founded in 1931. In 1940 a High Honor rating was awarded to the Remzdi by the Catholic Intercollegiate Press Survey. To the late Dom Herbert Schisler must go the credit for the conservative tone and that literary touch which the paper yet maintains. Dom james Laurer, the founder of the Records, and Dom Kenneth Funk, the present staff adviser, also deserve a great amount of credit for their unceasing efforts in behalf of the 'Rez'01'd.i'. The members of the staff of 1940-41 were August Uttich and john Tres, co-editors, Heinc Ciesielski, publicity director, jerry Leighton, sports writer, Al Yakutis, feature writer, joseph Kane, staff artist, john Comyns, college reporter, Richard Teall, academy reporter, Paul Aplington, day student re- porter, Edward Bily, circulation manager, David Brown, librarian, Fr.

During the novena to St. Benedict they chanted the appointed hymn, and during the month of Mary, they daily alhfmna raised their voices in the well-known May hymns. At least twice a week during Benediction, they praised the Blessed Sacrament in solemn song. Members of the graduating class composed at least half of the club and were leaders of the group.

Bale Zzaalmnal Glad 733' HEINC C1Es1ELsK1 TO THE college students this year as in the past, the club was a second home. There they gathered during their leisure time for informal relaxation, which invariably consisted of radio entertainment, card games, reading the daily paper, argumentation, or just sleep. Here in their own private quarters they could forget for a time the worries of assignments and examinations. Often the Fathers distinguished the club with their presence and together with the students created a truly democratic and Catholic atmosphere. Such is the purpose of the club, the relaxation of the body and the mind, and the realization of brotherhood. But the College Club is not only concerned with everyday, routine absorption of leisure time. Several times during the year, the organization holds an indoor and outdoor blowout.H These affairs were eagerly anticipated and provided a stimulus for co- operative work among the students. The funds were obtained from student dues. The beautiful decorations for the formal dances which were held in the Abbot Vincent gymnasium were planned and executed by the College Club. SZ. Maw 4 Glad By joHN HEBEL THIS year about one hundred students comprised the fastest growing department in the school. The majority were from LaSalle and Peru. A few were from Ottawa. The smaller towns which con- tribute more or less to the welfare of the department were Bureau, Dalzell, Ladd, Granville, Oglesby, Princeton, Mendota, Utica, and Spring Valley. The 1941 officers were Cornelius Hollerich, president, Spring Valley, Leno Bernabei, vice presi- dent, Dalzell, Earl Weber, secretary, Ladd, Donald Bernardi, treasurer, Ladd. The day-student councilors were seniors, john Hebel and jerry O'Connor, juniors, Tobias Barry and William Cosgrove, sophomores, Charles Pomatto and Andrew Pytlik, freshmen, Carl Schott and William Wimbiscus.

Raymond Miller, Spring Valley, was co-captain of the football team. Donald Trompeter of Peru, and john Tieman of Spring Valley, were the regular pitchers of the baseball team this year. Howard Schmidt, Peru, and Albert Ternetti, Spring Valley, were regulars on the basketball team. The day-students held their regular card party and dance on May 21. On May 20 the day-students, annual picnic was held and initiation of the freshmen took place. Earlier in the year the department took a trip to Chicago to see a hockey game. This was the only department which could boast of a paper, the 'I'aztle1', which in 1941 was in its sec- ond year of publication. Dom Anthony Wehrman was the adviser, john Comyns, the editor, james Rooney and john Hayden covered the sports, Eugene Balsavich and Paul Aplington handled features, joseph Kane was the artist, Edward Keating and Raymond Bergonia were the make-up artists, and james McShane was the reporter.

Besides President Jerome Pietsch, Vice President William Quinn, Secretary Charles Lewis, and Treasurer james Hebel, the de- partment has a board of advisors representing each class. As a unit the club enjoyed parties before Thanks- giving, Christmas, and Lent, and heard lectures throughout the year on a variety of topics. Very often the members themselves would form the programs for their meetings and amusements, even going so far as to write and act original skits. But the crowning event of the year was the initiation of the freshmen, during which the freshmen were forced to sing songs for the edification of the student body and to perform all sorts of embarrassing stunts. During leisure time two club rooms were available to the members of the club for their rest and quiet play.

This organization was started after the first semester, and at the end of the year listed over fifty members. The purpose of the club is to acquaint its members with at least some subjects in all the major sciences. The meetings, held every two weeks, were pre- sided over by the president and conducted entirely by the students. The favorite form of introducing a topic was to show a moving picture on that topic, and it was the members who introduced these films, explained the current topics, and performed the ex- periments when no moving pictures were available. Besides the meetings, science leaflets and maga- zines were purchased to aid the students to learn a little science outside of class. This year Thomas Doody, president, and Bernard Alblinger, secretary, left upon graduation.

To bring the idea to life, joseph Fredrickson, Bureau, was chosen chairman. After much preliminary work, Fredrickson succeeded in gathering together a comparatively large number of alumni during the Christmas vacation. Assembled in the college club room, they elected as officers: joe Fredrickson, presidentg Lynn Pillion, vice presidentg George Hayden, treasurerg and john Comyns, secretary. It was agreed at that time, that, temporarily at least, the organization would be only social in its aims. Meetings were arranged for the third Monday of each month to be held at the school. These have been well attended and socially successful. The climax of this year's activity was a public dance, the proceeds of which were donated to the PLEIADES.

I want to get to New York as soon as possible, and I think I'l1 hitch-hike. They walked out the lane and were soon picked up by BERNARD ALBLINGER. if Hello, fellas. Where you headed for? Alblinger smiled at them. :'We're goin' to New York, Ceresa told him. Well, that's fine. I'm going there myself. I want to see that Harry Gribbin trial. Here's DON BERNARDLS gas station. I need some air. Hello, Don. Hello, Mr. Alblinger. Taking a trip? Yea. I sold my bowling alley to DENO BIAGGIOLI. He's putting them alongside his Roller Rink. I'm picking up JIM WELCH at his drug store. I was thinking of taking BOB MILLER, but he was drafted last week, and he's been with a potato peeling platoon ever since. Then an enormous black car drove in to the station. RAY BERGONIA and his trainer, DOM MINI, stepped out. sixty-four CIAII DIQOIDI-IECY Take it easy, now, Ray, Mini warned. You've got to keep in condition for that return bout with DAN LA BOUNTY, you know. Bernardi was gaping at Bergonia. Gee, Mr. Bergonia, can I have your autograph, huh? Gee, I saw your last fight on the televideo, and you didn't foul La Bounty at all. You're heavyweight champ, fair and square. Let us leave Ladd now, and turn our attention to Philadelphia on the next day. JIM PLOGER and DICK RAYUNAS, producers of Super-Duper Playf, Inc., were having a bit of trouble with FRANK KOZEL, director of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra. Kozel wanted to take a few days off and go to New York to see the notorious Harry Gribbin trial. This would leave Rayunas with only FLORY MORES and ALEX YAKUTIS, two very mediocre dancers, and JOHN E. SULLIVAN, the world- famous tragedian. The only trouble with having Sullivan was that the race for United States Senator be- tween MARTIN GRANFIELD and HENRY KNAUF had claimed all his attention. Knauf was prom- ising an admiralty to JOHN L. SULLIVAN for his support, and Sullivan had a job as chief deck-scrubber all lined up for PINKY WALSH. But enough of the producer's troubles. Le-t's turn to something more interesting. In Chicago, ED- WIN PARKS had just bought the lease for Riverview. He was looking the place over when a lone truck drove in. BOB SCHMIDT stepped out and walked up to Mr. Parks. I've got the stuff in back, he whispered, What'll I do with it ? Stuif? Oh, the beer, sighed Parks, Well remember, we're not supposed to sell beer here. If BOB CALLAHAN sees it, we're done for. He works for JACK HEBEL'S Pepsi-cola plant, and he'd be sure to tell on us. He thinks you're hauling those back-scratchers of ROGER O'CONNOR'S. Say, boss. Bob wanted to know, what were those two men here last night? You know, those men that like Esquire? Oh, them. They were JERRY O'CONNOR and EARL WEBER. They've been running an escort bureau since 1938. Well, I'm leaving for New York to see that trial. I'll be back in about a week. So long! Schmidt got into his car and drove away. On July 17, the date set for the trial, a large crowd assembled in a courtroom in New York. A few minor matters were settled first. LENO BERNABEI and ROBERT PIERSKI were sent to a work farm. BILL CLARK, financier, was given the right to take take over JOE KOWSKE'S farm, because Kowske had fallen back in his payments. DICK EVANS asked the court's permission to pass out some of his high school graduation pictures. He said that he still had two dozen. Permission was refused. Then the big trial began. First Harry Gribbin came into the courtroom, looking as cool as if he had just swallowed an entire package of Carter's little liver pills. His attorneys, CORNELIUS HOLLERICH and PAUL APLINGTON of the famous law firm, Aplington and Hollerich, followed him. Witnesses RAY KOWSKE, JACK TRES, AUGUST UTTICH, and BILL DORF brought up the rear. When everyone was seated, Judge CHESTER KUKULA came in and everyone stood up again. He rapped for order and asked the District Attorney, HAROLD OTTO, to open his case. Clearing his throat, Otto stepped forward, and in thunderous tones, told how Gribbin had been spik- ing Teall's tomato juice all day, and then blackened his left eye. Jixty-Eve CLASS DIQODHECY The first witness, Ray Kowske, stepped up to the stand and Otto began questioning him: Q. Did you see the fight? Q. Did he beat him about the brains? A- Yes- h - A. Yes. Q' Where did It take Place? Then Hollerich began the cross examination. A- In Madison Square Beef Gardens- Mighty Hollerich! He roared at the wit- Q. Who owns the Beer Garden? ness: A. john Tres and August Uttich. Q. Who won the World's Series? Q. Why were you there? A. Brooklyn. A. I rent a corner of the place for my under- Q. What time is it? taking parlor. A. Ten-thirty. Q. Did you see Gribbin spike Teall's drink? Q. Is it true that you keep a black cat in your A. Yes. house? Q. Did Gribbin strike Teall in the left eye? A. No! No! No! You can't prove it! It's a A. Yes. lie. Make him stop, judge! Hollerich allowed the witness to descend. Then Otto called BILL DORF, the cop who had arrested Gribbin. He testified that he had seen Teall's eye, and that it was a bright Vermilion. Dorf's testimony, however, was discounted, because he refused to talk to Hollerich on the cross-examination. As a conse- quence, bailiff MONROE GORMAN removed him. Summing up, Hollerich said that Kowske was guilty of perjury, since Cincinatti, and not Brooklyn, had won the World Series last year. This lie, he said, was enough to discredit Kowske's entire testimony. While the case was with the jury, Gribbin displayed a nonchalance which he was far from feeling. The jury debated for five hours, and then brought in its verdict. GUILTY ! ! ! ! ! Gribbin was led, shrieking, to his cell. All Ott0's work was in vain, though, because Gribbin was promptly pardoned a week later by Governor JAMES ROONEY, who understood what prompted the assault, since he had been in the same condition, himself, many times.
