WE CDLLEGE MEN sie it if ST. BEDE ik iirikiksfkair 273 2? 2? 221 is 1941 is it it By JOHN COMYNS THAT the curriculum offered by the faculty of St. Bede College is equal to that of any other institution of the same standing has long been recognized. 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.

President August Uttich Secretary Paul Aplington Vice President William Walsh ACADEMY SENIUIQS Wwe of '4l fy PAUL APLINGTQN THE SENIORS, this year, compose the golden jubilee class, the fiftieth group of boys to graduate from St. Bede. 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
