-'Me Senialut' 7 - llfxe 1946 12' The faculty is, by tradition and reputation, the most important part of any school, and so the first section of the 1946 yearbook is devoted to a pictorial review of the men who have led us through four years of education. There were the smilers, the growlers, and the howlers, but for the record, we present them all, begin11i1zg 011 page nnze. DONALD TERANDO sir It will be hard to forget the men we have lived with for four years, but some of the younger faces will not be so easily remembered, so we have grouped all of the classes, college and academy, in one section under the title Students , to jog our memories in future years. For a complete photographic record of the student faces that rep- resented the student body, 111171 to page twenty- 0116. ALBERT IVANAUSKAS R1 The activity section is usually the one dearest to the hearts and eyes of yearbook fans. Here we find the student body in action-in the chapel, in the classroom, on the campus. We have tried to make this year's activities section as complete as possible and we think that we have given a fairly complete record of the goings and comings of the student body, l1egi111zi1zg on page fifty-five.

A it 'N x 9' i 'Wm Slcff flaedenia Although we are disappointed that this book did not appear before school closed, we are happy to carry on a tradition begun several years ago, namely, publishing a yearbook. Our class is the first post-war class and we hope that this year's Pleiades will help to stir memories through the peaceful years that we hope are ahead for the class of '46. KENNETH GORGAL if When a yearbook is published, it is certain that the staff has received the cooperation of many friends. The staff of the 1946 Pleiades appre- ciates the help it has received from its patrons, advertisers, faculty members, and the entire student body. We are especially grateful to Father Gerard for his drawings which appear on the division pages. J-OHN VANDEVOORT sir If I can speak for the seniors, and for the staff in this regard, I can say that the class of 1946 is happy to leave this book with the school as a mark in the history of the school. To the rest of the students, the class of 1946 hopes that this book will furnish the inspiration to initiative that is necessary for the completion of a successful academy career.

O In fall, when the frost touched the woods for the first time, we usually thought of football and other things, but God had worked his miracle again in nature, and the campus and the
