WE WANT T© EEMEMBEE TEE BEESENE SCECCE YEAC ©E 1942-1943 ☆ One more year in our lives and in the history of St. Bede has passed by. During that year we have walked the campus and entered classrooms hundreds of times. We have laughed and talked with pro- fessors and fellow students and shared an exchange of ideas and enjoyed the display of talents. These things we wish to remember. Herein is presented a record of those things in pictures and words. But pictures and words cannot show all we wish to remember of St. Bede. There is no picture to show the spirit of Benedictinism which has pervaded every phase of our life here. There is no word to describe the mental thrill of comprehend- ing a difficult idea. No picture can show the sensa- tion of hard, bodily contact in a game, or the crisp- ness of a fall morning on the campus. Those things, too, we want to remember. In the Pleiades, then, is a record of what we have done at St. Bede during the past year. What St. Bede has done for us, however, must wait for another chronicle. May it be as pleasant and inter- esting as the one in the pages following.
