If these three duties are fulfilled, one will find a sound and faultless school that will turn out sound and close to faultless men who will achieve leadership and renown in whatever life they choose as their careers. In looking over our past four years at St. Bede, we find that we are forced to admit that all three of the main functions have been met and fulfilled by the faculty of St. Bede. Yes, all of the faculty members added together have provided a piece of smoothly running machinery that has pro- duced sound men by their inspiration, instruction and discipline. ,Hugo llfllc' .

O Inspiration is possibly the most important of these three functions, because without it, instruc- tion and discipline would be wasted on some' thing little better than ordinary animals. Wfithout the inspiration to lead good, holy, clean lives, all the instruction and discipline in the world would result in an empty shell and hypocrisy a success in the eyes of the world, perhaps but dismal failure in the pursuit of his final goal. We at St. Bede have been constantly inspired by the men who have taught us. Their very garb, the black, cowlecl habit of the Benedictine monks has reminded us of their high and unselfish calling. We have been constantly reminded by our contacts with them in the classroom of the purity of life that is a necessary part of their vocation. Again in our contact with these men in our extra-curricular activities, we have found these men to be quite human, perhaps because of their calling more so than we. They appreciated a good iokeg they could take as well as give. Perhaps men in the world would be sharper , but they would probably lack the reflection of purity, humility, and the love of God. The daily grind has provided ample oppor- tunities for the Fathers to educate and discipline. Pet peeve ol' all alike, day students and boarders, jlczgu lull
