Environment plays an essential role in a student’s education. Providing the chief facilities for this envi- ronment are the Adminis- tration Building and gym. The presence of the mon- astery projects an atmo- sphere of sobriety and seclusion. Activities, however, are abounding. Varsity games, dances. Drama club produc- tions, extracurricular orga- nizations and intramurals afford the student a chance to draw the best both from the seclusion at St. Bede and the campus life. Campus Activities Bedan Environment §r a With the belltower of the monastery in the background. Father Timothy and Father Augustine take a walk in the counyard. St. Bede Junior College and Academy is a Catholic day and boarding school one mile west of Peru, Illinois. It is run by monks of the Order of Saint Benedict. Their mother abbey is Saint Vincent's Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. In 1891 they founded the school at the request of John Lancaster Spald- ing, Bishop of Peoria. At pres- ent, St. Bede Abbey has prop- erty totaling 628 acres, consist- ing of 60 acres of campus and 362 acres of farmland. Symbolic of the spiritual, intellectual, and physical growth which a student attains, St. Bede's primary buildings are the monastery, administration build- ing and gym. Built in 1942, the monastery is a three floor struc- ture with a fourth added in 1957. The various floors house chapels, living quarters, utility rooms, class rooms, refectory and tailor shop. In 1962 a new abbey print shop was erected northwest of the monastery. In this setting the monks live according to the Benedictine motto, work and pray. Their day begins at 5:20 with Matins. Teaching, manual labor and prayer constitute the monk's activities. Vespers and Compline signals the end of the day and the opportunity for solitude. Both junior college and acad- emy are situated in the Adminis- £ Father Leo sells a Latin book to Rick Wilson while his parents, Mr and Mrs. R. Wilson watch. Father Owen explains the schedule of classes to Timothy Banta and his mother, Mrs. Catherine Banra. 1 Bruins Win Homecoming 13-0 In form with tradition, the Homecoming proves itself an enjoyable event. Decorations and activities reflect zeal and energy which students put into their labor. At the entrance to the lane are a Conestoga wagon and a grave to warn the invading Pio- neers of Alleman. Along the lane, in the park and from the school hang strings of green and white pennants. Directly in front of the school stands a sixteen foot high bear which amuses all the fans. On Saturday night a winding carcade through Spring Valley, LaSalle and Peru brings the stu- dents to the bonfire. After speeches by the coaches and play- ers, the crowd fills the gym for the annual Variety Show. The Association of Alumni and Friends sponsors a Homecoming Glow when the show is over. At the game the next day, the Bruins effectively contain a strong Alleman team in a 13-0 victory. Following the game, the Mothers' Club sponsors a din- ner for the players and specta- tors. Festivities conclude with the Homecoming Dance on Sunday night, with Dave Gaston and his Shattertones putting the finish- ing touches to the weekend. foot high calking bear built by the senior boarders. The Variety Show features young ladies from the local area and a cast of theatrically-inclined students. In the Homecoming game against Alleman, Paul Bernabei turns the corner around the defensive linemen. Father Kevin speaks to the crowd of students at the bonfire. At the dance that Sunday night, like everyone else,Jill Krueger and Bill Guerrini are enjoying themselves. 13 U. S. Marine Band Gives Concerts “The President’s Own United States Marine Band gave two per- formances at St. Bede on Septem- ber 21. This fifty member orga- nization played to matinee and evening audiences of 2,300 and 1,400, respectively. Conductor for the nation s best-known band was Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper and concert moderator and baritone soloist was Mr. William Jones. The band presented a varied selection of marches, concertos, scherzos and overtures. Music critics of the community commented thus: 'The band was colorful; its music spirited, inspir- ing, and exciting; and some three to four thousand persons will carry forever the memories of a concert which brought a new — and perfect —dimension of music to the community. Col. Albert Schopper has been a member of the Manne Band since 1934 and its director since 1935. A large and attentive audience came to hear the two concerts given by the United States Marine Band. 14 Students Participate In 1964 Campaign The Democrats whoop it up at their demonstration in the front of the gymnasium. Mrs. Poppy X. Mitchell, Democratic can- didate for Congress from the 18th Dis- trict, speaks to the student body during the rally inside the gym. Mr William Elmendorff, speech teacher at Hall Township High School in Spring Valley, discusses the Republican side of the issues. Tony Lawrence and fellow Republican backers listen intently to the speaker of their cause. Politics ruled supreme on cam- pus the last two weeks of Octo- ber. Under the direction of Andrew Bacevich, resident sen- ior, the student body held a mock election. James Kelly and John Balestri represented the Demo- cratic national ticket. For the Republicans it was Michael O'Halloran and Daniel Petritz. The candidates and their assist- ants gave speeches in study hall and inundated the school with posters and literature. At a riotous rally in the gym, Mrs. Poppy X. Mitchell, Demo- cratic candidate for U.S. Repre- sentative from District 18, and Mr. William Elmendorff, a teacher at Hall High School, Spring Valley, addressed the stu- dents. The activity culminated in the landslide reelection of Presi- dent Johnson on October 30. 15 St. Mary’s Academy Campus For the two days of October 2 and 3, St. Bede was not St. Bede as the students are accustomed to it. The campus was graced by the presence of 180 girls from St. Mary's Academy, Nauvoo, Illi- nois. During this short time the wonders of co-education became gloriously apparent to both groups involved. After their arrival on Friday afternoon, the girls attended the St. Bede versus Pontiac football game that evening. A dance was sponsored in the gym when the game was over. Following this the guests left to spend the night at homes in the local area. But the next day the fun anew with a hootenany and picnic in the park. The sad farewells, when it was all over, proved the event would be long remembered. Gilda Lee talks to Greg Burnett at the picnic before the hootenany. Graces St. Bede Joining in the fun on Nauvoo day are Dave Spengler, Kathy Hines, Jerry Schroer and Linda Simon. 16 Dan Nagle says good-bye to Mary Ellen Frasor as the guests from Nauvoo get ready to go home. 17 Be dan boys sit down in the park with the girls to enjoy the hootenany. Funds Raised By Mission Bazaar £ David Coynik photographs a smiling Mona Lisa At the auction alter the Bazaar, Dick Vesely holds up a parakeet cage, and Art Washowiak looks for the highest bid. Bazaar goers enjoyed the booths sponsored by the de- partments and the entertainment provided by food and the auc- tion. Prizes ranged from para- keets to radios. Usually planned close to the Feast of the Epiphany, this year's bazaar was held on January 10. Mr Albert Bernabci tries his luck at the free throw line while his wife proves an admiring audience. St. Bede's annual charity event, the Mission Bazaar, resulted in a large turnout in the gymnasium and a gift of SI350 for the mis- sions. The Bazaar, long a tra- ditional highlight of the social year, was again under the moder- ation of the student chaplain Father Charles. The student chairman was Tony Dorley. In a fine show of inter-departmental cooperation, each department of the high school and junior college was represented by its officers. Heavy Snows Bring A Change Of Pace Winter can be a desolate time. At St Bede, as far as the weather is concerned, this is true from December till March. However, wmrrr in the country does have its appealing side. Ice skating, hockey and bobsledding afford hours of invigorating exercise for the boarders. When the weather warms slightly so that the snow will pack , massive snowball wars are the order of After a heavy snowfall Brother Dominic Wescgate, O.S.B is out early in the day to clear the roads around the monastery the day. At least once in the year the boarders can thus get an opportunity to wreak ven- geance on their prefects. And while it seems to some snowbound freshman that spring will never come, still the day is not too far distant when the snow will melt permanently. Until next winter, that is. Braving the weather to get to that first period class, senior day students Mike O'Halloran, Jody Koehler. Chuck Barnato and Barry Smith plod through the snow. A group of boarders frolic in the snow on stadium hill. Pat Kennedy and Rick Luster take a break from playing hockey. i Students Take Time Out For Retreat Francis Brokowsky and Ronald Cregier discuss the retreat schedule with retreat masters Fathers Patrick Sullivan. CSSR. and Robert Rebhola. CSSR. At a conference, retreat master. Father Daniel Lowery, CSSR. addresses the junior college students. Following the first quarter, November 9 and 10 the junior college men had their annual retreat. Academy students took part in their retreat held on January 25 and 26, immediately after the end of the first semester. Three Redemptorist priests were retreat masters. Father Daniel Lowery, CSSR, led the junior college men. Father is a member of Liguorian Mission House, Ligouri, Missouri, and is assistant editor of the magazine The Liguorian. Also from the Liguorian Mis- sion House is Father Patrick Sul- livan, CSSR, who delivered the conferences for the academy freshmen and sophomores. Jun- iors and seniors enjoyed the lectures of Father Robert Reb- holz, CSSR, who is stationed at St. Joseph's College, Edgerton, Wisconsin. Schedules for the retreats fol- lowed patterns of past years, with conferences, Stations, Mass, meditation and Benediction. Barbershoppers Welcome Christmas Duane Scephens does a solo as rhe Barbershoppers entertain a lar ?e audience Mr Alex Finkler, master of ceremonies, introduces the Kfoup. Students and faculty were treated to a free performance by the local chapter of the S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A. in the gymnas- ium on December 20. The con- glomeration of letters stands for the nation-wide Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Quartet Singing in America. Their Christmas concert was part of their general program to keep alive a peculiar American form of singing. About thirty of the area townsmen combined to create a barbershop choir and maintain the tradition. Seniors Take Air Force Examination James Donarski and Thomas Peterson receive their tests from S t. Russell Terrel and S t. Jack Dujtuid of the U.S. Air Force. Father Henry and Patrick Weiher look over books on exhibit at the yearbook convention. All seniors took the Air Force Qualification Examination in December. The test was designed to measure probability of suc- cess in four general career areas: general, mechanical, electronic and administration. Father Henry, Patrick Weiher and Ralph Navarro represented the yearbook staff at the National Scholastic Press Association Con- ference in Chicago. NSPA, a critical service which reviews the Via Baeda. sponsored lectures and exhibits on ways to improve the yearbook. The Conference was held at the Conrad Hilton Hotel on November 26-28. The Mothers' Club was enter- tained on Valentine's Day by Father Placid's production of R J. Schneider's The Devil You Say . Timothy Glaza, Ed- ward Littig, Robert Torri and Sisters Anita Marie, Anthony and Celestia, FSM, put on the short play. Mothers’ Club Hears Dramatic Reading1 Robert Torri reads his part in The Devil You Say, which was presented for the entertainment of the Mothers’ Club, their husbands and the St Bede Community. Mr. Leon A Mayer, representative from the University of Illinois, points out the advantages of a large school to Mr Peter Riva and his son Donald during the St Bede College Day Program Academy juniors and sen- iors profited from the fourth annual College Day held on Sunday, October 14, under the direction of the guidance- department. Representatives from several colleges spoke about rheir schools' scholas- tic programs and require- ments. Four sessions of lec- tures were followed by re- freshments served by moth- ers of sophomore day stu- dents. Among the schools participating were St. Bede, Marquette University, Quincy College, University of St. Louis, Loyola Univer- sity and the University of Notre Dame. 2: Assemblies Entertain, Educate The Streator Choralaires pre- sented a singing program on February 28 for the benefit of the faculty and student body. Founded and directed by Dr. Wil- liam C. Schiffbauer, the group sings for the patients in the town's hospital. Dr. Schiffbauer's mother, Mrs. Lucile Schiffbauer, served as accompanist. Jet propulsion was the theme at an assembly sponsored by the General Motors’ Previews of Progress science show. The pro- gram was presented on February 25 by science lecturers Hull Quarrier and Bruce Burton. Quarrier received his degree from Washington and Jefferson College and Burton studied at Ohio University. A model car powered by pho- toelectric cells was operated when Quarrier shined a bright light on it. Liquid sunshine, a formaldehyde preparation, was mixed with iron chloride and potassium hydroxide, and the energy released by the reaction was harnessed to ring a doorbell. Scientists believe that plants can use sunlight in a similar reaction which takes place within the plant. Other demonstrations included a gyroscope used to maintain a rocket in its course during space travel; experiments in polymer chemistry; the aeolipile of Hero which used energy from stream to become the first jet engine; and a quarter-inch long wire which absorbed 30,000,000 watts of electricity before it disintegrated. Dr William C. Schiffbauer di- rects the Streator Choralaires in their performance at St. Bede. Hull Quarrier, science lecturer for the General Motors' Pretieus of Proems program, and Bruce Burton, his assistant, prepare to launch a pin« ponj; ball with energy released by the explosion of a small piece of wire. Bill McGunnitfU, Pat Weiher. Tim Rucmski and Ken Becker wait eagerly for the demonstration. 24 Abbey Church Plans Progress A prime goal of the monastic community is the erection of an abbey church. Inadequate and inconvenient chapel facilities have led the monks to begin studies preliminary to the build- ing of a church for both monks and students. Their plans took a step forward with the visit of architectural consultant Professor Patrick J. Quinn, Berkeley, California, to the monastery. Professor Quinn teaches in the College of Architecture and Landscaping at the University of California and belongs to the Chancellor's Committee on Creative Arts. Besides his work on campus, he has entered several national and international architectural com- petitions and engages in a prac- tice in the San Francisco bay area. A native-born Irishman, he has membership in the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Royal Institute of Ire- land. In addition he has a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied under Louis Kahn. Professor Patrick J. Quinn of the University of California is directing the St. Bede monks in a self-study which must precede the hiring of an archi- tect for the proposed abbey church. 2 Scott Keenan, Terry Burke and Kenan Bresnan hold up Pat Wei her and Tom Schroer, who in turn support Bob Hebei, form- ing rheir six man pyramid. • Cheerleaders Instill Spirit Terry Burke, Miss Victory, parades before her prospective suitors at the LaSalle-Peru game St. Bede athletic teams were urged on this past year by an agile, versatile and enthusiastic troupe of cheerleaders. Kenan Bresnan headed the varsity group of Bob Hebei, Scott Keenan and Terry Burke. Tom Schroer, Pat Weiher, Tim Rucinski and Joe Proulx generated support for the sophomore team. Basketball games were en- livened with their skits before the games and their acrobatic stunts. The chief item in their stunt repertoire was the six man pyramid. Somersaults,cartwheels, flips and the five man pyramid not only amused St. Bede fans but also won cheers from the visitors. At the Mendota game the cheerleaders masqueraded as Trojans in a pre-game skit. Two hunters shot a pair of tigers when the Princeton Tigers came to the gymnasium. Morris Redskins saw a band of Indians wiped out by Bruin cowboys. A pair of cheerleaders stole a treasure chest from some marauding Ot- tawa Pirates. Four Cavaliers du- eled for the hand of Miss Victory when LaSalle-Peru came to play the Bruins. In a skit before the LaSalle-Peru contest, cheerleaders dressed to represent L-P and St. Bede vie for the favors of a fickle Miss Victory. Science Fair Draws 97 Exhibits Come to the Fair! That was the order ot the day for Sunday, February 28, the date of St. Bede's eighth annual Science Fair. More than five hundred people gathered in the confines of the Abbot Vincent Gymnas- ium to view the triumphs of sci- ence represented by ninety- seven exhibits in chemistry, physics, mathematics and various sciences. Although characterized by a predominance of chemistry projects, the Fair was favored by a wide sampling of the other sciences in projects ranging from the practical Satellite Communi- cations to the theoretical Sets and Systems. The format and organization of the 1965 Science Fair was patterned closely after that of the 1964 Fair, which sent nine representatives to the DeKalb District Fair, three of whom eventually arrived at the state finals in Champaign. Judging for the projects took place between ten and twelve o'clock Sunday morning, while the fair was open for the public's appraisal from one to four o'clock that afternoon. Tom Nagle explains color centers to an inquisitive Barry Burke. While Gregory Baratim prepares to anesthetize one of his subjects for the benefit of Mark Barry and Merle Piacenn, Martin Manning re- views a synopsis of Gregory's Outstanding project. Barry, Piacenti and Manning combined on a paleontology project which also earned an “Outsrandin award. EFFECTS OFi PROLONGED NARCOSIS ON SMALL mamma M A« Mr Mel Hook and Mr Ralph Preiser, two of che fifteen teachers and industrial scientists who judged the Science Fair exhibits, confer over the evalua- tion of one of the physics projects. Bedey Beaker Breakers who served as Science Fair committeemen included David Grygiel, Thomas Tonozzi, William McGunnigal, Daniel Petritz, Lawrence Salcedo, James Jacobs and Thomas Lund. 29 Thirteen Projects Rate “Outstanding” Once again the organizing and motivating force behind the Sci- ence Fair was the dedicated work of the Bede) Beaker Breakers, St. Bede's science club. Led by their energetic moderator. Father Ber- nard Horzen, O.S.B., and their officers, the Bedey Beaker Break- ers handled the details of arrang- ing and supervising the Fair. A primary concern in the or- ganization of the Science Fair was the selection of the judges, who were chosen from among the teachers and industrial sci- entists of the area. Judges in the various divisions were. Chem- istry: Mr. Kenneth Ficek, Mr. A. P. Liesse, Dr. Eunice Moore, Mr. Joseph Story, Mr. Kenneth Krogulski, Mr. Dom Marchiando and Mr. John Samlin. Mathe- matics: Mr. Carl Gabriel, Mr Charles Keyser, Mr. Woodrow Smith, Mr. Donald Hayden and Mr. Hubert Sarver; Physics: Mr. Mel Hook and Mr. Ralph Preiser: Various Sciences: Mr. Walter Kaszynski. Observing John Ennenbach's mathematics' project are Outstanding award winners and John Ennenbaih. , Bernard Engles, George Kapacinikas, Martin Manning This year's Science Fair saw thirteen of its projects qualify for entry in the Northern Dis- trict Fair held at DeKalb. James McElligott, Joseph LaRocque, James Wojciechowski, John Fo- ley, Gabriel McConnell and Michael Hoefer all merited awards of “Outstanding” in the Field of Chemistry, enabling them to go on to DeKalb. Recipients of Outstanding awards in Mathematics were Martin Manning, Mark Barry, Merle Piacenti, George Kapa- cinskas, John Ennenbach and Bernard Engles. Both Larry Mat- tingly and Daniel Petritz re- ceived “Outstanding awards in the Physics division, while Greg- ory Barattini qualified in the various science division. Joe LaRocque explains his entry co Gabriel McConnell, James Wojciechowski. Michael Hoefer, James McElligott and John Foley, all of whom were awarded Outstanding. Through his diligent work, Dan- iel Petritz earned the right to attend the DeKalb District Sci- ence Fair with his Outstanding project. Larry Mattingly demonstrates his Satellite Communications project which received an “Outstanding and was one of the most popular of the fair. Brother Jerome Juckett, O.S.B., runs off the latest issue of the St. Bede Records. Brothers And Sisters Do Important Work Adjusting boiler pressure is one of the many jobs of Brother Bernard Scheier, O.S.B., in charge of the com- munity's power house Because they have little con- tact with the student body, the Brothers are to a great extent unfamiliar to the boys. Nonethe- less, such lack of exposure does not mean that the Brothers are idle. On the contrary they fulfill essential roles in the community life of the monastery: farming, working in the print shop, and maintenance work. Besides their work around the campus, they say the Devine Office in English in the morning, afternoon and evening. Each assists in celebrat- ing Mass with the monks. Sisters Silvia and Licinia sort the Fathers' handkerchiefs. Much is owed to St. Bede's housekeepers, the Carmelite Sisters. It is their task to do the monastery's laundry and to cook the meals for both the monks and the students. Since their arrival from Mex- ico in 1951, the Sisters have lived in their convent south of the monastery. At 5:30 they rise to say prayers and to participate in Mass in the convent chapel. They spend the remainder of the day in prayer and in carrying out their chores. Sisters Ursula and Floina prepare the noon meal for the stu- dent body. 33 Religious Activities Round Out Year Father David holds the missal while Father Abbot, assisted by deacons of honor. Fathers Stephen and Eugene, sings the Collect. Father Gabriel delivers the sermon at the Pontifical High Mass of the Immaculate Conception. Mad re Emma renews her vows before Father David and Father Claude in the Solemn High Mass on her Silver Jubilee as a nun. Student life was highlighted by participation in religious activi- ties. For the first time in the school's history, daily Mass was made voluntary for the boarders and the day students were given the opportunity to attend by juggling the schedule. Every first Friday of each month high Masses were offered. Novenas and occasional Pontificial High Masses celebrated by Father Abbot dotted the liturgical sched- ule. A two day retreat was offered. Special religious func- tions were concluded with the Holy Week devotions. 34 Death Takes Four Benedictine Members Death in the monastery is a rare and unpleasant occurrence. Within a period of about nine months the Benedictine Com- munity of Saint Bede suffered a loss of four of their members. They all served the community faithfully and their loss will be keenly felt. On April 12, 1964, the Rever- end Ralph Netry, O.S.B., then prefecting senior boarders, died unexpectedly. A member of the community since 1942, Father Ralph, in additioti to his prefect- ing, served as ticket manager and taught classes in English, book- keeping and accounting. The Rev. Jerome Walsh, O.S.B., a former prior of the Abbey, passed away on September 19, 1964. Father Jerome, a veteran of World War I who served his country and his God for many years as a chaplain, also worked as pastor, prefect and teacher. The death of Reverend James Lauer, O.S.B., on October 28, 1964, culminated nearly a year of sickness. In Father James the school lost not only a former teacher, rector and chaplain, but the founder of the school paper, the RECORDS. Father also spent time as a pastor in Ladd, Peru and Seatonville. Death came suddenly on No- vember 5, 1964 to Reverend Daniel Cruikshank, O.S.B., who spent his last five years engaged in parish work in Missouri. Father Daniel taught class in the sem- inary, junior college and acad- emy as well as having served as subprior, cleric master and novice master. Rev. Ralph Netry O.S.B. 1920-1964 Ordained: June 1, 1947 Rev. Jerome Walsh O.S.B 1886-1964 Ordained: March 17,1917 Rev. James Lauer O.S.B. 1893-1964 Ordained: March 15, 1919 Rev. Daniel Cruikshank O.S.B 1917-1964 Ordained: June 13, 1943 35 Rev. Harold Datzman, O.S.B. Father Harold kneels before Bishop Franz at the time he was raised to the rank of a deacon. Father Harold Ordained To Priesthood A native of Eari Park, Indiana, the Rev. Harold Datzman,O.S.B., attended St. Johrl the Baptist Grade School in Earl Park, and then enrolled at St. Bede Acad- emy. His college years were spent at St. Bede Junior College and St. John's University, Col- legeville, Minnesota, where he was awarded his B.A. in philos- ophy. His clerical education was continued at Immaculate Conception Seminary, Concep- tion, Missouri, and then the last two years in St. Bede School of Theology. Father Harold entered the novitiate of the Benedictine Order in July, 1958 and pro- fessed Solemn Vows in July, 1962. In May, 1963 he was or- dained to the subdiaconate and 16 in June, 1964 he was ordained to the diaconate. This spring Father Harold’s years of study and preparation culminated in his ordination to the priesthood. Father Maurus Hickey, O.S.B., of Camp Grove, Illinois, attended Camp Grove Grade School and St. John’s Parish School in Brad- ford. After graduating from Brad- ford. After graduating from Brad- ford Township High School, he enrolled in St. Bede Junior Col- versity, where he earned a B.A. in philosophy. Since that time he has been studying for the priesthood at St. Bede Seminary. In July of 1960, Father Maurus entered the novitiate at St. Bede Abbey. He professed his First vows a year later and solemn vows on July 11,1964. Father Maurus leaves the altai after taking his Solemn Vows Bishop Franz, Fifth Bishop Of Peoria After 16 years as rector of Immaculate Conception Cathe- dral in Springfield, Bishop John Baptist Franz was appointed first Bishop of Dodge City in 1951. He remained here until he was named fifth Bishop of Peoria on August 12, 1959. Bishop Franz begins his fourteenth year of episcopal experience. After his grade school years at St. Peter and Paul's Parish, Springfield, the present Bishop attended high school and college at St. Francis College in Quincy. In September, 1917, he entered Kenrick Seminary near St. Louis, Missouri, and was ordained by the late Archbishop John Glen- non on June 13, 1920. Between the years 1920 and 1935, he served as chaplain of St. Teresa's Academy in Decatur; attended Catholic University in Washing- ton, DC., to prepare for his future work as a mission preacher in the Springfield diocesan mis- sion band in Granite City; directed a fund drive for the con- struction of the new Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Spring- field; and served as pastor of St. Mary's Parish, Farmersville. In 1935 he was named rector of Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Springfield. Other dio- cesan positions held by him in the following years included director of the Priest's Eucharistic league, Officialis” of the matrimonial court and diocesan consulter and moderator of the diocesan clergy conference. 37 THE MOST REVEREND JOHN B FRANZ Extracurricular activities round out that part of an education which cannot be obtained in the classroom. Students expend their phys- ical energies in interscho- lastic or intramural sports. The band. Via Baeda, Rec- ords, Drama Club, and Sci- ence Club are the chief organizations on the cam- pus. For the parents there are the Men's Association and Mother's Club. Throughout the year some of the students are rewarded for their accom- plishments. Scholastic awards include the Ameri- can History Award, NEDT certificates for high scores in national tests, and the honor roll. Athletes are selected for the Ennio Arboit Award, given to the athlete of the year, and the Harry J. Cassidy, Sr., Memorial Trophy given to the best lineman and the best back. Ac policy meetings the heads of the departments make their views known: Michael Becker. Richard Verruchi, Father Gabriel. Timothy Glaza, Frederick Speltz and David Coynik. 8th Consecutive “All Catholic” Bruce Schermerhorn, Joseph LaRocque. George Blough, Edward Reardon. Michael Van Daele, Richard Johnson and Daniel Kusek await the latest press run of the Records. For the third year the editor-in- chief of the Records, the school newspaper, is Timothy Glaza, jun- ior college sophomore. He is well assisted by departmental editors Frederick Speltz, David Coynik, Michael Becker and Richard Verucchi. Faculty adviser is Father Gabriel Bullock, O.S.B. This past school year has seen the Records progress further toward its goal, that of a newspaper which is truly a students' paper. Several new items have appeared in issues, among them, increased use of photos and a new policy. This policy involves an increased con- cern over events in the area imme- diately around St. Bede; it is called the Window on the World. For the eighth consecutive year the Records was rated All Catho- lic by the Catholic School Press Association of Marquette Univer- sity, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 40 RECORDS STAFF Editor-in-chief..................Timothy Glaza Faculty Adviser . . .

From the National Scholastic Press Association of the Univer- sity of Minnesota and the National School Yearbook Asso- ciation from Memphis, Tennes- see, came such comments as: a clear, vivid, journalistic report of the year's happenings, your year- book is outstanding . . . another fine job of academic coverage. The book was assembled by a staff led by co-editors Frederick Speltz and John Grivetti. An A+ rating was secured from NSYA and a First Class from the NS PA. Layouts and photog- raphy were particularly commended. Co-editors David Ritterbusch and Michael Hollerich search past annuals for layout suggestions Ralph Navarro, David Piccioli, James Kelly and Cornelius Hollerich check the pictures for the Honors-Organizations section. 42 Bradley Dirks, Timothy Rucinski and Patrick Weiher draw up the mats for the Faculty-Classes section.

Since its injection in I960, the drama club has offered just such an outlet for theatrically inclined students. Under the moderating influence of Father Placid, the club has produced several full length plays, culminating in last spring's production of Billy Budd. The Genesians, the official title of the club, belong to the National Catholic Theatre Conference. The purpose of the club is to give glory back to God, as it was decided at its founding. How- ever, the actors also gain satis- faction from their performances and the trips which the club takes. This year the troupe jour- neyed to Chicago to see the hit play Oliver!! In a skit from the Variety Show, Carol Coulter of LaSalle-Peru Township High School listens to Robert Torri sing. Father Placid consults with his executive council; Chairman Robert Torri, Micheal Toellen, Larry Mattingly and Peter Gericke Bruce Schermerhorn, the secretary, was absent when the picture was taken. 44 Tours And Lectures Better B.B.B Father Bernard, adviser of the Science Club, meets with the officers. William Mc- Gunnifcal, president. Daniel Petritz, vice-president; Thomas Lund, treasurer and Thomas Tonozzi, secretary. President William McGunmgal swears in fellow officer Thomas Tonozzi as secretary Today, more than ever, science is a fact of life directly influenc- ing the lives of all. Through the Bedey Beaker Breakers, the St. Bede science club, science is studied and explained. Chiefly through the speaker system and the tours, the club's members learn of new developments and old. At each bi-monthly meeting a speaker from some occupation in science is invited to lecture be- fore the club. In addition, tours bring the club to see science in action. The club finances its tours chiefly through its sale of paper- back books, ranging from science to the classics. This year a series of movies in the gymnasium was sponsored. Father Bernard Horzen.O.S.B., has moderated the club since he founded it five years ago. With the assistance of his officers, he has planned the Science Fair and organized trips to United States Steel in Gary, Indiana; Abbot Laboratories in Lemont, Illinois; and the Bakelite plant in Ottawa. 45 Band Enters State Contest First Time Representing the cornet section in state competition was the trio of Thomas Schroer, Stephen Schnorr and Robert Vidmar. Highlights of the band's activi- ties were its holiday concert at Christmas and the spring concert in May. At halftime of the Home- coming game the band went through marching maneuvers. Music was provided at all home football and basketball contests. For the first time in the school's history the band entered the state competition at Dwight, April 10. Numbers played by the full band included The Great Gate of Kiev, 'Two Moods,” Belmont Overture,” The Raiders and Oye Negra.” Several groups journeyed to Peoria.

Christopher Pot- hoff, Robert Spcltz, Father Timothy, Kevin Kelly, James Locke and Michael Martin. On floor: Janies McElligott and Cornelius Hollerich. There has never been a student council at St. Bede. Father Arthur last year persuaded a nucleus of boys under Father Timothy to do research on the feasibility of a student council. Their reports, delivered in February, resulted in the general election of St. Bede's first student council. In their work, the committee attended the convention of the Kankakee Councils at Streator. Articles were published periodi- cally in the Records, explaining the purpose and need for a stu- dent council. The group was invited to a session of the council of Streator High School in Feb- ruary. Meetings were held several times a week to discuss points and to assemble the reports. As stated in the constitution, the purpose of the Council is to represent opinions and inter- ests of the entire student body, maintain communications be- tween the faculty and student body outside of school; to pro- mote programs which encourage and develop an awareness of academic life at St. Bede; and to coordinate extra-curricular ac- tivities which affect the entire student body. Father Timothy discusses the committee's report on the student council at St. Bede with Paul Bernabei and James McEUigott. Men’s Club Finances New Pressbox The Association of St. Bede Alumni and Friends exists to promote whatever is good, nec- essary and expedient for the welfare of St. Bede, as stated in the Constitution. Under the direction of their officers, the members of the Men’s Club sponsored numerous projects throughout the year. During the summer the tradi- tional picnic was held on the grounds of the athletic field. On Homecoming weekend the Club arranged their Homecoming Glow and Alumni-Get Together following the game. The Dad's Night football game and Parent's Night basketball game were also under their direction. This spring the association honored the school's athletes at the All Sports Banquet. In addition, the men took tickets at sporting events. Apart from these usual ac- tivities, the association con- structed a new pressbox for the athletic stadium. The two level structure is roomier than the former box and completely en- closed. It was finished just be- fore the opening football game with Mendota. One of the Men's Club's main projects was the construction of the new pressbox atop the athletic stadium. The officers of the Men's Club, Mr. William Barron, secretary; Mr. Albert Bernabei. vice-president; Mr. John Cosgrove, president; and Mr. George Hayden, treasurer, review the minutes of the previous meeting. Mothers’ Club An Asset To St. Bede Ac a meeting of the Mothers’ Club are Mrs Edmund Wasilewski. presi- dent; Mrs. John O’Connor, vice- president; Mrs. Albert Bernabei, secretary; and Mrs. Ned Nesti, treasurer. Students and faculty members of St. Bede are fortunate to have an organization such as the Mothers' Club supporting the school’s activities. Interest and action are the watchwords of this spirited organization which keeps as its highest ob- jectives the improvement of parent-faculty communication. The Roast Beef Dinner, Fa- thers’ Night, Bake Sale, Christ- mas Party, Recollection Day and the spring Card Party, all spon- sored by the Mothers’ Club, were, as always, some of the memor- able highlights of the school year.

Classified as part of the Honors curriculum, the U.S. His- tory seminar completed its first full year this year. Under the guidance of Robert Burke the seventeen members discussed the different aspects of the Amer- ican character. For each of the weekly meetings one of the members read and reported on a book which was pertinent to the current topic of discussion. Fol- lowing a brief question and an- swer period the seminar talked about the ideas found in the reports. Also, there were several speakers from the various walks of life who addressed the seminar. In December the seminar was host to the senior citizen group from Streator High School. The two groups discussed J. Kenneth Galbraith s Affluent Society. Andrew Bacevich questions Hon. C. N. Hollerich after the latter's address to the seminar. Judge Hol- lerich spoke about his reminis- cences in American politics.

By now area readers of the LaSalle Daily News-Tribune are aware of the existence of the Sedan Bruit, published in a weekly supplement with papers from two other local schools. When Father Arthur was First contacted by officials of the paper. Father Raymond and Father Allen, agreed to oversee publication of the supplement. A staff of 45 boys was formed and the name T.N.T. ( The News-Tribune ) Scribes was chosen. The first issue appeared on February 2 and was an imme- diate hit. Content was limited to people, places and events at St. Bede, with the intention of fa- miliarizing the local population with student and faculty life. The word bruit is derived from a French word. It is de- fined as a report, or a story; used as a verb it means to circu- late a story or report. Father Raymond, adviser of the newly formed T.N.T. Scribes, pre- pares final instructions for the next edition of the BtJuu Bruit 55 Father Owen presents certificates to Michael O'Halloran, Andrew Bacevich, Michael Hollerich and Daniel Petritz.

Presentation of the general view of philosophic history and thought is followed by a more detailed investigation of various fields of human knowledge. Seminary training is to provide the Church with priests who are both devout and learned. This high aim requires the harmonious development of the intellectual, volitional and emotional powers of a candidate for the priesthood. Foundation for scholarship is laid by a thorough course of lib- eral studies integrated by careful attention to the principles of scholastic philosophy and theol- ogy. Courses of study given in the seminary are: dogma and moral theology. Canon Law, Scripture, liturgy and homiletics.

St. Bede's future will be built around today’s under- graduates, who are being well prepared for their role. This preparation consists not only of education in the classroom but of spiritual advancement as well. Maturity and responsibil- ity rank high on the under- graduates’ list of goals. Armed with these achieve- ments, they can be assured of a satisfying adult life.

For most of them, leaving home proved a new experience, bring- ing with it many trials and diffi- culties. With the help of their able prefects, Fathers Andrew and Dennis, they meet and over- come these obstacles. Among the minims, the more athletically inclined tested their abilities at sports, training them- selves for future varsity competi- tion. Others took part in the intramural sports: baseball, foot- ball and basketball. For further entertainment, they were treated to “blowouts (modified pic- nics) and parties in the club- room. In addition, both fresh- man boarders and day students visited the Hennepin power plant. Despite these activities, how- ever, the minims still found time for their main purpose in going to school. Study hall afforded chances to study; long hours of such study paid off when they placed their share of stu- dents on the honor and merit rolls. To supplement what they learned in class, several of the freshman boarders joined the various clubs at St. Bede.

In their first contact with the way of life here at St. Bede, they have adjusted themselves without much trouble. Father Allen had the responsibility of prefecting this, the largest department in the school, with its eighty-nine members. To aid them in their assimilation into the academy, these students have begun joining some of the extra-curricular activities at St. Bede. The entire freshman class took the annual trip to the Hennepin power plant where they went on a guided tour. Later in the year they were given the NEDT test, in which they competed against students around the nation. Many of the boys were awarded certificates for their achieve- ments in these tests. To further substantiate their scholastic abilities, this department placed a respectable number on the honor roll.

Led by their class officers, Mike Hannapel, president; Pat Weiher, vice-president; and Rick Johnson, secretary-treasurer and guided by their capable prefects Fathers Placid and Hugh, in sports, studies, and religion they reached many goals. Along with their day student couter- parts, they produced teams which in future years will be the backbones of the varsity. Those who did not play on the school teams participated in the intramural program throughout the year. In studies a substantial number of students achieved recognition on both the honor roll and merit roll. More familiar now with the routine at St. Bede, many of the sophomores joined the various organizations and clubs on the campus. As a department, they were active in decorating for occasions like the homecoming and political rally. To relieve the strain and tension of the school days the class officers or- ganized many blowouts which all of the students appreciated. The traditional trip to Chicago was the memorable high- light of the year. 108 Father Hugh, Mike Hannapel and Andy Ogrin help set up the sophomore boarders' decoration for Home- coming: an eleven foot long football made with paper napkins.

After getting over the obsta- cle of their first year, this year's sophomore day students re- turned to school with a compe- tent knowledge of St. Bede and its organization. Under the leadership of their prefect, Father Eugene, the sophomore courses took a pattern according to what their intended vocation would be. Their officers. Norm Raffety, president; Cornelius Hollerich, vice-president; and Mike Mar- tin, secretary-treasurer; repre- sented their department in school activities and organized their projects for homecoming Although the football team did not fair so well, the basket- ball team did have a fine season. Sophomore day students were also diligent scholars, many of them receiving NEDT certifi- cates and frequently making the honor roll.

They placed many of their members on the honor roll and varsity teams, and were active in all Bedan activi- ties, including the Via Baeda, Re- cords, science club, drama club and band. This department as a whole successfully grappled with the problems of studies and increas- ing schoolwide responsibilities. In these pursuits they were guided by their able prefects, Fathers Roger and Joseph. Their officers were: Robert Speltz, president; James McElligott, vice- president; and Joseph Kelpcza- rek, secretary-treasurer. Frequent blowouts helped to relieve the pressures of the year, as did the spring trip to St. Mary's Academy, Nauvoo, Illinois. 14 Ray Bauer, Tim O'Rourke, Frank Borkowski and Leslie Dewes make popcorn to sell at the Pontiac football game William Guerrini David Haskins Robert Hebei Michael Henkel Robin Hockings Michael Hoefer Robert Jeffery Gregory Jones Stephen Donarski John S.

They were ably directed by prefects, Fathers Gabriel and Herbert. With a large number on the varsity teams, the junior day students helped the senior class in the football project during one of St. Bede's best seasons. Being an athletically inclined department, they were also a strong reinforcement for the basketball team. For these students, their junior year was basically one of rapid transition: they were expected to mature more quickly and the subjects grew increasingly difficult. As always, studies were para- mount. These were well supplemented by an athletic curriculum which condi- tioned the body as education did the mind. This was a time for the new juniors to do serious thinking about their college choice and vocation in life. The past year was also a test, a test of ability to adjust to the changing en- vironment. By all indications they have passed the test. It is hoped they have made their life-long choices well, as they ready themselves for their final year at St. Bede. i Miholic Charles Mueller Nagle Thomas Nagle Kevin Kelly Paul Koyak Rickey Kurtz David Liesse Daniel McKeon Edward Kennedy Terry Krolak Daniel Kusek Gabriel McConnell Paul Marenda Joseph Klepczarek Gregory Kulpa Joseph LaRocque James McElligort Lawrence Mason 16 Francis O'Rourke Wayne Paprocki Gregory Philipaitis Christopher Potthoff John Pyszka Howard Raef Edward Reardon James Rodda Stephen Schnorr John Schumacher Peter Navin James Neill Donald O'Connor Richard Oklesen Kevin O'Connell Terry Orlandi Father Roger helps junior boarder officers, Joseph Klepczarek, secretary-treasurer; James McElligott, vice-president; and Robert Speltz, president; calculate the cost of having the Chessmen play for the dance they sponsor.

Although St. Bede is usually regarded as an all-male school, it is to a limited degree co-edu- cational. Through the years the students often noticed the sis- ters who have attended classes at the Academy. From St. Margaret's Hospital in Spring Valley, ten sisters of St. Mary's of the Presentation commute daily to St. Bede. All are enrolled in college classes, with Sisters Anita Anthony and Carmen members of the College graduating class. While living in the convent situated on the cam- pus five of the Carmelite Sisters of Mexico attend Acad- emy classes. Mother Emma, superior of the Carmelite Sisters at St. Bede and Sister Alexandrina iron clothes for the monks while the other nuns sort laundry. Sister Anita Sister Anthony Sister Carmen Sister Diana Sister Guadalupe Sister Louise 191 College Men Enjoy Their Leisure Time LLLk This year St. Bede saw a large junior college enrollment. The second floor college was made up of eighty-two day students and boarders. Junior college certificates were received in such fields as com- merce, pre-engineering, pre-law and pre-medicine. With these the college students hope to com- plete their education at another university or college. The college boarders at St. Bede enjoy many privileges and advantages, such as a quiet atmo- sphere for study and ample occasions to receive after-class instruction. Besides these and other academic benefits, there are abundant opportunities to take part in religious activities and other personal pursuits. As a department the college men participate in intramu- rals and relax in their club- room. At their dances and socials the collegians can make new acquaintances.

In preparation for these vocations they will attend an equally wide selection of colleges: tech- nological schools, state uni- versities, Catholic liberal arts colleges and Eastern schools.

Looking back, rhe ninety-nine seniors who are graduating in 1965 can be proud of what they see. Over a four year period they have matured to a point where they are both ready and able to step forward into an adult world. Their list of achievements is long and impres- sive. On the athletic field they have produced rhe finest teams St Bede has seen in years. Once again the gridiron trembles when the St. Bede football team plays. The varsity cagers have performed true to the tradition of great Bruin basketball teams. In baseball, they were equally strong. As for track, while the aggregate record was not over- whelming, individuals on the team were outstanding. Scholastically this class can review four years of study with the same satisfaction. Consistently they placed the highest number on the honor roll and four of their number were National Merit semifinalists. Many of the students possess NEDT awards for their high results on nation wide tests. Fond memories and innumerable experiences will go with this class when they leave St. Bede. There is no one who doubts that they will make the school proud of them in future years. And the students, in turn, will realize the debt of gratitude which they owe to St. Bede.

Again, for the prom, they were instrumen- tal in making it the success it was. Along with the day students, they col- laborated in the formation of a successful varsity season in every sport. Studies were not neglected; a large number of senior boarders made the honor role consistently. In the various extra-curricular activities they formed the backbone of the organi- zations. All these things have combined to give them the close knit relationships typi- cal of a boarder department, relationships which graduation alone will not break. Thomas F.

Illinois A primary function of St. Bede Abbey is the preparation of stu- dents for the priesthood. To ful- fill this function the minor semi- nary was established. Although similar to the regular junior college schedule, the semi- narians routine places heavier emphasis on religious training. Prayer is the basic cornerstone. Before Mass the morning prayers begin the day. Frequent visits to the chapel, particular examens, and meditation provide more opportunities for prayer. Comp- line, the evening prayer of the Church, ends the day. Because education is an essen- tial element in studying for the priesthood, the curriculum is given plenty of attention. The liberal arts form a nucleus, with the sciences, Latin and Greek rounding out the course of study. To keep the day interesting, the seminarians enjoy recreation after supper, intramurals, and work chores. Working on the Records and playing in the band supply extracurricular activity. 151 College Men Enjoy Their Spare Time Gordon G. Milhone G ret ley.

Ath- letics lets the student relax and at the same time devel- ops his physical capabilities. Varsity sports appeal to the more able boys, and intramurals allow the rest of the student body to par- ticipate. The varsity pro- gram consists of football, basketball, track, baseball and tennis. This past year has been especially fruitful in all sports. Athletics Varsity Nine Wins District From his position by third base. Coach Gaffney gives the hit and run signal to the batter. St. Bede again had a highly successful baseball season in 1964. For the second year running, the Bruins of Coach Harold Gaffney upset favored LaSalle-Peru to win the district title 6-5. Throughout the sea- son, a strong hitting attack combined with clutch pitching spelled doom for fourteen opponents. Only five setbacks were sus- tained, and three of these came in the one losing streak of the season. Prospects for 1965 look bright because only four seniors were lost through graduation: Tom Tieman, Vic Pulford, Andy Hebei and Fred Speltz. Although their absence will be felt, the team has ten returning lettermen: Dave Haskins, Bob Speltz, Tom Peterson, Dave Baird, Rich Baird, Phil Hopkins, John Balestri, Jerry Corgiat, Greg Basalay, and Paul Bernabei. Chief among the reasons for the Bruins successful season was their robust hitting: the team sported a .316 composite batting average. Tops among individual batters were Dave Haskins with a sparkling .583. Tom Peterson and Dave Haskins tied for the home run lead with three, while Paul Bernabei led in runs scored with 23, runs batted in with 16, doubles, triples, and stolen bases. Bob Speltz had the most hits with 22. Key man on the pitching staff was Andy Hebei with a 6-3 record. He was well supported by a talented staff of Greg Basalay (3-1), Vic Pulford (2-1), Rich Baird (2-0), and Dave Baird (1-0). 56 Paul Bernabei leans away from the plate to evade a brush back pitch.

Coach Joseph Marini, in his third year at St. Bede, guided the tennis team through a rough season. After winning two games, the Bruins lost their last six matches and trailed the field in the Illinois Valley Conference. Starting the year with a rela- tively small squad, the team was plagued by drop-outs. Returning lettermen, senior Patrick Wing and sophomore Kenneth Becker, formed the nucleus of the team. Rounding out the squad were juniors, Frederick Weller, Ed- ward Armon and Walter Dun- bar; and sophomores Daniel Kusek, Donald O’Connor, Alexander Dutkiewicz and Mark Speichert.

The Bruins failed to come through for Coach James Troglio as they turned in a weak 3-5 record. Lack of depth in the line- up and spotty strength in the field events hindered the team. Totaling 117 points for the season, Larry Mattingly led the team to a third place in the dis- trict and qualified for the state track meet. He earned first place in the 100 yard dash and second in the 440 yard dash. Also, qualifying for the state was the 880 yard relay team which placed second in the district and sent Dick Verucchi, Bill McCarty, Ned Stuppy, and Pete Sentman to Urbana. With five of the top eight scorers returning in 1965 the Bruins will have a well-founded nucleus. Returning lettermen are Larry Mattingly, Bill Fronczke, Bob McCarty, Mike Twardowski, and Jody Koehler. SOPHOMORE TRACK TEAM -Front Rou.

Heavily staffed by veteran seniors, the varsity gridders for the most part sparkled throughout their lengthy ten game schedule. Their 7-1-2 record was the best card achieved by a Bruin varsity in the past twenty-one years. One point separated them from an undefeated season. A rousing 22-0 win over Mendota opened the campaign. This was followed by a hard fought tie with archrival LaSalle-Peru and impressive wins over Pontiac, Alleman, Washington and Little Flower of Chicago. The highlight was the 13-0 defeat of Alleman in the Homecoming game. After a frustrating tie with Marquette of Ottawa, the Bruins upset Streator. Despite a frantic fourth quarter surge, the team lost a 14-13 heartbreaker to Morris. To cap off a fine season, the Bruins squelched Hall 26-6. Key to this successful season was a stingy defense which yielded only 3-4 points per game and boasted six shutouts. Chief architects of this wall were Greg Basalay, Bob McCarty, Bill Guerrini, Andy Bace- vich, John Balestri and Dave Baird. On offense, it was Terry Burke, Steve Van Daele, Basalay, McCarty, Guerrini and Dave Haskins who opened the way for the backfield. Paul Bernabei did most of the passing and he was ably supported by Andy Bacevich. Their chief receivers were Jody Koehler, Larry Mattingly and Bill Fronczke. Rush- ing honors went to Larry Mattingly, who gained 698 yards and John Balestri, who gained 348, Larry also led the Peoria Diocese in scoring with 69 points. 64 Varsity Has Best Record In 21 Years SEASON RECORD St. Bede 22 Mendota 0 St. Bede 0 LaSalle-Peru 0 St. Bede 20 Pontiac 0 St. Bede 13 Alleman 0 St. Bede 26 Washington 7 St. Bede 29 Little Flower 0 St. Bede 0 Marquette 0 St. Bede 19 Streator 7 St. Bede 13 Morris 14 St. Bede 26 Hall 6 Won 7 Lost 1 Tied 2 Coach Troglio looks for weaknesses in the defense of the opponents while Jerry Schroer (83) talks to a teammate about a close play.

Jody Koehler (20) gains five yards on an end sweep. Once a year a game is chosen to honor the fathers of the Bruin players. Dad's Night was cele- brated at the Washington game on October 16. Pre-game cere- monies consisted of the intro- duction of the fathers and their sons. After the game a get together was held in the lunchroom. Many dads went home proud after their sons spanked the Pan- thers 26-7. Although this was the fifth game, Washington became the first team to cross St. Bede's goal line. 166 At Dad's Night game the players and their fathers are honored. So honored were: David Spengler (43), Mr. Aldo Balestri. John Balestri (33) Gregory Burnett (31), Mr. James Burnett, Mr. John Foley and Joseph URocque (22).

Top games on their schedule were the 34-13 triumph over Princeton, a 31-0 rout of Pon- tiac, and a 19-19 tie with a pre- viously undefeated Ottawa eleven. Providing the offensive spark for the Cubs were quarterback Pat Andreoni and halfbacks Ron Schreiner and Mike Hannapel. Rus Bedwell played fullback. Bill Galassi and Rich Baird caught most of the passes. Key men in the offensive line were Tom Nesti, John Kearin, Nick Chiara- donna and Jack McAdamis. On defense McAdamis and Chiaradonna were the bulwarks of the line. Linebackers Pat Andreoni, John Kearin, Den Regan and safety Dan Farley were also key men. 70 SEASON RECORD St. Bede 0 Mendota 6 St. Bede 7 LaSalle-Peru 13 St. Bede 31 Pontiac 0 St. Bede 14 Marquette 0 St. Bede 19 Ottawa 19 St. Bede 34 Princeton 13 St. Bede 9 Streator 7 St. Bede 12 Morris 32 St. Bede 0 Hall 32 Won 4 Lost 4 Tied 1 On an option play.

Yearlings Post Respectable Record During the season Coach Harold Gaffney’s Baby Bruins split eight games en route to a 3-3-2 record. They had consider- able size in the line but the backs, with the exception of Don Heagy, were small. Mike Roach led in the scoring with four touchdowns and quar- terback Joe Martin rolled up twenty points. George Kapacin- skas, Phil Fronczke and Don Heagy provided the remaining offensive strength. These backs were protected by a line consist- ing of Barry Burke, Dale Mul- vany. Bob Lesnak, Jim Galassi and Andy Dubach. The same boys doubled on defense, with Bill Rose an able linebacker. Assistant Dick Verucchi and Coach Harold Gaffney watch the freshmen from the sidelines. Since most of the boys are playing orga- nized football for the first time, practice drills are essential.

(Coach Harold Gaffney and David Baird were absent when picture was taken.) Although Coach Harold Gaff- ney's varsity quintet rang up another fine mark of 19 wins against 7 losses, cliffhangers were the Bruins’ hallmark. Eleven games were decided by the mar- gins of five points or less, five games by one or two points. A tight defense, ball control game and a deliberate offense characterized the team’s winning ways. Despite a starting five which never had a man as tall as six feet, two inches, they out- rebounded almost all of their opponents.

Also in the first round Princeton downed Normal Com- munity 70-66. In the title bout that same night the host team rolled over Princeton's Tigers 64-66. Third place went to Nor- mal, who nipped Mendota 81-80 in a tight thriller.

St. Bede marched over Spald- ing 73-56 and took the title by beating Trinity of Bloomington 57-44. Consolation honors went to the plucky Saints of St. Paul, who tipped Spalding 71-69 in overtime on a last second shot by Dave Abry. 80 Jubilant co-captains.

John Maher, Norman Rafferty, Louis Or lie, Laurence Evoskis, Paul Berens and manager Roger Long landi and Coach Donald Wyzgowski Under new coach Donald Wyzgowski, the sophomores fin- ished the season with 12 wins and 9 losses. Opening losses to Streator and Wenona were fol- lowed by three victories. After losing again to Streator, the Cubs picked up another three wins. This streak was ended by LaSalle- Feru. Not to be denied, the Cubs took four more games from Hall, Princeton, Toluca and Depue. However, they cooled off and closed out the year by dropping five out of seven games. Tom Shea won scoring honors with 272 points and Ron Cre- gier poured in 262 from his guard position. Louis Orlandi was brought up from the fresh- men team when Rich Baird was injured. Shea, Jim Cheslic and Andy Ogrin combined to do the rebounding. Tom Shea (50) and Jim Cheslic (44) fight for a rebound while John Maher (22) waits for a possible loose ball.

This off-site operation saved nearly 6 weeks “down-time”. It took less than 2 hours to move the furnace shell 87 4 feet. After that less than 12 hours were required to lower the furnace shell 3 feet 4 54 inches on to the nine furnace columns. This is the second furnace built “off- site” at Granite City—the first was in 1956 and the second in 1960.

The greater preponderance of the patrons and firms listed in the preceding pages have given of themselves annually for years. This staff is deeply grateful to them for unstinting efforts in our behalf. Root Studios and Mr. John Clark were invaluable because of the assistance which they lent in the production of this edition. Our own Father Gilbert deserves equal mention for his willingness to aid the staff in their endeavors. Good-bye and may God bless you. 227 INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS Kansas City — Winnipeg Yearbooks — Yearbook Covers Diplomas — Graduation Announcements USA
