 e n,ot e%4 The efficient functioning of any organization depends much upon the men who perform essential tasks behind the scenes— away from the limelight. Much of that off the stage work that keeps the monastery and school at St. Bede functioning smoothly is performed by the lay brothers, who have dedicated themselves to a life of prayer and work as members of the monastic family of St. Bede. Their work, however, differs from the teaching and administra- tive tasks performed by their clerical colleagues. Pictured below, in the company of their director, are: Bro- thers Albert Thomas, Thaddeus Bradner, Father Hilary, direc- tor; Brother Bernard, silver jubilarian; Brothers George Mat- suoka, John Dimpfl, Joseph Frederickson, Vincent Ehrlacher, Luke Hornath, and Francis Pease. BROTHER PAULINE KRAMER, Senior brother, golden jubilarian. Three other members, not pictured in the yearbook, complete the group of brothers. Of those three, two are novices; one is a postulant. A group of brothers engage in a communi- ty wood cutting project.
