The PLEIADES The greatest work in putting out thia yearbook was teeing to it that it would be enjoyed in 1958 at well at in 1948. We believe that the prime purpote of a yearbook it to bring back the memories of school years and we have attempted to keep this in mind when publishing the 1948 PLEIADES. Tom Henneberry, editor. The seniors of 1948 leave this volume of the PLEIADES at an ex- ample to the classes which are to follow us. Our yearbook is the means of wishing the faculty and students a farewell and hope of suc- cess for the years to come. We hope the students and faculty enjoy read- ing the book as much as we enjoyed publishing it. Jim Cain, make-up editor. We wish to express our sincere thanks to the friends of St. Bede and the PLEIADES who have contributed so generously to the support and publication of this volume. Your in- terest in this record of our years at St. Bede is truly appreciated. To the students who ordered books we also are deeply indebted. This number surpassed any in previous years. It is our wish that this splendid co- operation of all concerned may con- tinue down through the years. Ray Duncan, Business Mgr, six

PLEIADES of 1948 This is the first time that a special section of the Pleiades has been devoted to the Junior College, which lias gradually become a larger part of the school. The large number of returning veterans has swelled the ranks of the collegians in the past two years. This year the Pleiades commemorates the com- mencement of the largest academy class in the history of St. Bede. The class of 1948 did many memorable things in its four years here, and will long be re- membered for more than its size.

Staff Speaks We wish to express our apprecia- tion and gratitude for the excellent cooperation of the student body toward the completion of this book. The promptness for pictures and the general eagerness for the success of the yearbook was a constant source of inspiration and zeal to every staff member. Our only hope is that the PLEIADES will be found worthy by the entire student body. RUDOLPH J. WESTPHAL, Editor. Not enough recognition can be given to Mr. Kostellic, our indus- trious faculty adviser. The school was fortunate to find a man with the right portion of cheerful enthusiasm and skill to direct the activities of the PLEIADES. His guidance and enterprise will be mostly responsible for the success of this book. JOHN E. SCHAENZER, Business Mgr. With the completion of this book, there arises an audible sigh of relief and pride from every stpff member. Since the work was evenly divided among the entire staff, the merits for success should also be divided equal- h The staff sends a final goodbye and a hope that the PLEIADES of ’48 will be enjoyed by all.
