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

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.
