Saint Bede Academy - Via Baeda Yearbook (Peru, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 248 of the 1967 volume:

The Cover Our cover has, been designed to portray the seal of St. Bede College and Academy. Appearing behind the Holy Rule of St. Benedict are the cross of salvation and the quill of scholarship. Upon the Holy Rule are the initials U.I.O.G.D. (Ut In Omnibus Glorificetur Deus), which mean “That In All Things God May Be Glorified,’’ the Benedictine motto. Traditionally, the diamond sig- nifies the seventy-fifth anniversary. This year St. Bede celebrates such an anniversary and this is so sig- nified with the use of the diamond on the cover. Through. 75 Years VIA BAEDA Seven and one half decades ago, four young men graduated from a small ob- scure and new high school located on the plains of north-central Illinois. Those men were the first graduating class and that school was St. Bede. Since then, St. Bede has grown and matured. Hundreds of young men have travelled the Bedan way and graduated. This year the VIA BAEDA is a portrait of a school, a year and a graduating class. It is the result of an attempt to capture the vibrant spirit of St. Bede, an attempt to describe the vitality of the people, places and events which make the Bedan way a special way. With this aim in mind the staff and the editors present the ’67 VIA BAEDA. 1967 St. Bede College And Academy 2 Peru, Illinois Volume XXV 3 St. Bede In 1889, the first buildings of St. Bede were constructed. They consisted of a sisters’ convent (left), refectory, study hail and dormitory (center) and the ad- ministration building (right). For seventy-five years, St. Bede has grown from the era of the horse and carriage to the mature stature of today.

Campus Activities Three-Quarters Of A Century Of On the banks of the Illinois River, on Easter Sunday of 1675, Father Marquette established the first mission in the present state of Illinois. He brought the faith to the Indians and led the way for other missionaries who made the new cities and towns throughout the valley, strong- holds of Catholicism. Two cen- turies after the visit of Mar- quette, other blackrobes came down from Lake Michigan to establish a lasting home for Christianity, St. Bede. In 1889 the noted writer and orator, Archbishop John Lancas- ter Spalding, invited the Bene- dictines to establish an institu- tion of higher learning in the Peoria diocese. Accordingly, the Rt. Rev. Andrew Hintenach, O.S.B., Archabbot of St. Vin- cent’s, Latrobe, Pennsylvania, purchased a portion of the fa- mous Daniel Webster farm in Bureau County, Illinois. Construction of the main building started in 1889. Two years later, some fifty stu- dents and a faculty of six were on hand for the dedication of St. Bede College by Archbishop Spalding, October 12, 1891. For twenty years, the school grew in size and in reputation. In August, 1909, the monks of St. Bede made a formal request of independence from the motherhouse, St. Vincent's Arch- abbey in Pennsylvania. Permis- sion came from the Sacred Con- gregation of Religious in Rome, February 12, 1910. Thirteen charter members formed the new community and they unani- mously elected Rt. Rev. Vin- cent Huber, O.S.B., as their first abbot. For the next twenty-six years, the community of St. Bede made progress under Abbot Vincent’s wise and prudent direction. Dur- ing these years the north wing of the school, a new power house and a gymnasium were built. Rt. Rev. Justus Wirth, O.S.B., Growth: Physical, Moral, Mental became St. Bede's second abbot on June 10, 1926. Through his administrative skill, he freed St. Bede of financial debt. Abbot Justus began the construction of a new abbey building in 1941, but did not live to see its completion. In 1942, St. Bede received a new abbot and a new abbey building. Rt. Rev. Lawrence Vohs, O.S.B., became the mon- astery’s third abbot and under his leadership St. Bede has grown to what we know it today. The monastery is a three floor structure with a fourth added in 1957. On the various floors are chapels, living quarters, utili- ty rooms, class rooms, refectory and tailor shop. In 1962 the new abbey print shop was erected northwest of the monastery. In this setting the monks live according to the Benedictine rule, “Work and Pray.” Their day begins at 5:20 with Matins. Teaching, manual labor and pray- er constitute the monks activi- ties. Vespers and Compline sig- nal the end of the day and the opportunity for solitude. Both the junior college and academy are situated in the ad- ministration building. Located in this building are the living quarters, class rooms, and chap- el. Joining it to the monastery is the refectory and library. When fire destroyed the old gym, the new Abbot Vincent Gymnasium was built in 1955. It contains a two court basketball floor, and athletic quarters. Free time can be spent in the swim- ming pool, TV room, ping pong room and clubrooms. Room for outdoor exercise is provided by an expansive athlet- ic field. There are the football field, baseball diamond, tennis court and intramural fields on which the students participate in various sports. Registration Day Unveils Changes Director of studies, Father Owen, explains the freshman curriculum to Gerald Johnson and his mother, Mrs. George Johnson. Father Theodore, dean of studies for the |unior college, discusses a class change with Dave Neill. St. Bede students, whether they live far away or near, wind-up their summers during the last week in August. Regis- tration took place this year on August 28, and in their first hours at school, the Bedans found how things had changed. Of course the freshman boarders had the biggest adjustment to make. For most, it was the first time away from their homes and families. But the sophomores and juniors also had things different than expected. Last year, the two departments were combined almost as one. This year sophomores had new prefects and a new third floor study hall. However, the juniors had it the best. They enjoyed a combination study hall, washroom and dormitory located on the second floor. Resident seniors did not waste anytime getting used to their rooms. They were relieved of dormitory life. Although a number of their pre- fects and homerooms were switched, the day students found little trouble with their class schedules for the coming year. Registration day gave everyone a good start for the scholastic year. 10 Obtaining the proper books for the coming year is a big part of registration. Fathers Leonard, Eugene, Theodore and Dennis prepare for the big day. Mr. Alex Ptak and his son, Paul, check the financial aspect with procurator, Father Felix. 1 1 Homecoming Handled By S.B.A.S.C. Everyone enjoyed themselves at the big Homecoming dance, spon- sored by the band. Father Allen supervised the preparation of the elaborate Homecoming decorations; he and Pat Dooley check as Peter Fiocchi constructs a “75. As in the past. Homecoming for 1966 was a series of traditional events, any of which, if omitted, might spoil this weekend of week- ends. Homecoming was scheduled early this year and to assure its success, preparations began well in advance. During the first week of school, the Student Council appointed three separate committees and the work started. Freshmen and seniors alike la- bored for the next three weeks and their efforts paid off on the weekend of October 2. The campus was decora- ted elaborately. Highlighting the decorations was the huge diamond depicting St. Bede's 75th year and 25 foot high colosseum, which was large enough to walk through. The winding carcade through Peru, La- Salle and Spring Valley officially started the festivities on Saturday night. The bonfire and pep rally boosted spirits for Sunday's game. An unusual type of Variety Show, taking the form of a TV show was presented by the students before a capacity audience in the gymnasium. The Association of Alumni and Friends concluded the evening with a “Glow.” Everyone gets involved in Homecoming. Joe Janz, Jim Lund and Father Gordian put the finishing touches on the diamond placed in the teardrop. 12 Introduced by Father Kevin, Paul Berens says a few words during the bonfire. A large crowd and a beautiful October afternoon were not enough. The Saints of Trinity were triumphant. At the Saturday night “Glow , Father Owen chats with Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Kuffel. Over seventy gayly decorated cars carried the Bruins over the route of the carcade. 13 Traditional Nauvoo Visit Changed Hamburgers cooked by Father Gordian were a favorite at the picnic. Christina Haas and Mike Menton enjoyed their helping. Bob Mallinger and Gary Mattingly scan the crowd of Marians in search of old acquaintances. Taking advantage of the abundance at the late afternoon picnic are Mike Pattarozzi, Don Sajnaj and Jim Bertolino. Father Placid, never at a loss for words, chats with picnickers Peggy Jones, Susan Cleary and Steve Wolf. For the third time in as many years, the St. Bede campus was visited by the girls of St. Mary’s Academy, Nauvoo, Illinois. On the morning of October 8, 190 girls in four buses pulled up in front of the school. No one met them and the puzzled girls sat in their buses wondering if they had arrived on the wrong weekend. This was not their usual welcome. Two long minutes later, a signal was given and much to the girls’ relief, 200 hidden Bedans came rushing, the Nauvoo weekend was under way. Old acquaintances were renewed and new friendships were made dur- ing the afternoon dance. Football games, swimming and tours of the campus led into the evening picnic in the park. A variety show featuring talent from both schools brought Saturday to an end. On Sunday, Mass, dinner and a football game with Alleman, Rock Island, sped by much too quickly. When departure time arrived, mourn- ful farewells were made along with promises of “see you in the spring.” Many hours of preparation went in the acts for the two-school variety show. Kathy McKeon, Irene Mitchell, Joyce Wyffels and Peggy Casey sing the favorite folk song “If I Had A Hammer. At every meeting of St. Bede and St. Mary's, there are always plenty of football enthusiasts. Chris Haas, Kevin Haley and Larry Bell prepare an offense against Jean McChord, Julie Schumacher, Sandy Schwend and Carl Cline. 15 Mrs. Lucas Staudacher, Catholic School Press Congress representative, registers the four Bedan conventioners Thomas Schroer, Michael Schlip- mann, James Locke and Kevin Conerton. Field Trips Feature Progress Five representatives of St. Bede Academy journeyed to Milwaukee, Wisconsin on No- vember 11 to 13. They were part of the 1,400 high school and college newspaper and yearbook delegates who attended the bi- ennial National Catholic Edu- cational Press Congress. Attending the Congress, spon- sored by the Catholic School Press Association and the Mar- quette University College of Journalism, were Father Ray- mond, faculty adviser of the Bedan Bruit; Thomas Schroer, co-editor of the yearbook; Michael Schlipmann, yearbook photographer; Kevin Conerton, TNT Scribe; and James Locke, Bedan Bruit editor. At the convention, the jour- nalists were exposed to various methods of improving school publications. There were also many professional speakers who covered the main theme, Vati- can II. Seventeen agriculture stu- dents, under the direction of Father Benedict, took a field trip to Farmer City, Illinois. They viewed the Farm Progress Show held September 27-29. Exhibits of current improve- ments in the various fields of agriculture were featured at the show where 275 projects showed the students the progress made. Benjamin Solorzano.Tom Navin and Marty Stremiau look over the rotary tillage equipment at the Farm Progress Show, Farmer City, Illinois. Bazaar Donates $1500 To Missions At the auction following the Mission Bazaar, Father Adam has no trouble getting rid of a bottle of Benedictine brandy. Once each year, the students of St. Bede get a chance to com- bine an evening of fun, food and prizes with a handsome donation to needy missions. Sunday, Janu- ary eighth was the date set by chaplain Father Adam, and a large crowd filled the gym and spent over $1500 at the Mission Bazaar. Sophomore college man Terry Burke served as chairman for the bazaar, which was characterized by the eager spirit of cooperation in all the departments of the school. For the first time the Student Council played an im- portant part in organizing the affair. Bigger and better prizes were featured this year at the usual number of booths. An auction ended the evening. 17 Assembly Part Of 75th Year Abbot Lawrence and Father Owen chat with Judge Cornelius N. Hollerich before an assembly commemorating the seventy-fifth anniversary of St. Bede on October 12. Father Bernard checks the program for the Science Teachers’ Day, November 1, with Dr. Grafton Chase, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, and Sister John Maureen, O.P., Regina Dominican, Wilmette. 18 Looking through Catholic School Press Association's 1965-66 Publications of Distinction, including the 1966 Via Baeda, are Thomas Schroer, yearbook editor; Kevin Conerton, TNT scribe and James Locke, Bedan Bruit editor. St. Bede alumnus, Lt. Edward Theiss, answers Father Owen's questions about the slides Lt. Theiss took while stationed in Viet Nam. Assemblies were not uncommon throughout the year. One of the first featured Father Damian Milhone, O.S.B., and Judge C. N. Hollerith who combined to tell the student body what S B A was like from the first of its seventy-five years. Judge Hollerich was a member of the first gradu- ating class of St. Bede. Father Bernard Horzen, O.S.B., invited more than forty science teachers from the surrounding area to the Science Teachers’ Day, November 1. Dr. Grafton Chase, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Science, was the main speaker. On November 8, Edward P. Theiss, a St. Bede alumnus, showed a series of color slides he took while serving the Vietnamese people as a dentist for one year. Four Bedan journalists ventured to Milwaukee, November 1 1-13, to attend the National Catholic Educational Press Congress. Father Raymond accompanied James Locke, Tom Schroer, Kevin Conerton and Michael Schlipmann on the trip. 19 Changes Come In Mass, Faculty Guitarists Terrance Pearson and Michael Roach and vocalists John Dee, Steven Rohlfs, Michael Milcarek, Larry Snyder and Michael Smith led their fellow students in singing hymns at Mass. New music, soft guitars and loud sing- ing marked the Sunday Masses for the boarders this school year. Father Alban directed the group which demonstrated their new version in outside parishes. Chaplain Father Adam said that this change to vernacular music was initiated in hope that there would be better and more meaningful participation in the Mass. To acknowledge the great work that resigning Coach James Troglio has done in developing football players and build- ing character during his ten years at St. Bede, the Student Council presented him with a memorial trophy in the name of the entire student body. All through the year, speakers came to St. Bede. They spoke at faculty meet- ings, club meetings and school assemblies. Student Council president Michael Martin presents a memorial trophy to Coach James Troglio at a special assembly on November 23- 20 Mr. J. Terry Hackett, visual consultant of the 3M Company, was guest speaker at St. Bede Academy’s first faculty meeting of the year, Septem- ber 26. He is speaking with Father Arthur Schmit, O.S.B., principal, who presided at the meeting. At the February twentieth faculty meeting, Mrs. Otis J. Bach from Ottawa talks on Federal Aid to private schools. Mr. Robert Soenksen, production engineer at Westclox, and Father Bernard listen to Dr. Heinz de- Koster from General Time Corpo- ration Research Department, Stamford, Connecticut. Dr. de- Koster spoke to the BBB and JETS on antimatter, subatomic particles that are exact opposite of familiar subatomic particles in electrical charge and in mag- netic properties. 2) 13 Receive Outstanding In Since their start at St. Bede a decade ago, science fairs have increased in size and importance each year. One hundred and three exhibitors with ninety- eight projects filled the gym for the 1967 Fair, which closely followed the pattern of the ’66 Fair which sent thirteen repre- sentatives to the District Fair, five of whom eventually arrived at the State Finals in Champaign. Father Bernard and the Becley Beaker Breakers were in charge of the annual event. Sixteen young scientists were awarded outstandings and thirteen re- ceived first place ratings. Several new projects marked the Fair with Radioactivity” ex- hibits gaining the most attention. Christopher I.uppens built his own neon-argon gas laser and was awarded an outstanding. For his efforts, Chris received the Robert Hutchins God- dard medal signifying the best project of the Fair. 22 Stephen Rohlfs, William Kilarski, Timothy Mulvany and Gary Mattingly all qualified for the Northern Illinois District Science Fair at Sycamore with their outstanding projects. Bernard Engels explains his Theory of Probability” project to Bernard Boudreau. Both juniors submitted outstanding exhibits in the February 26 Science Fair. OBABIUt S Angle 10th Annual Science Fair George Kapacinskas explains his outstanding Detergent Efficiency project to other chemis- try outstanding winners Michael Wclgat and Robert Lesnak. Thomas Ahnger, second from left, was honored for the Fair’s best demonstration. Six of the sixteen students who qualified for the Northern Illinois District Fair were John Hnnenbach, John Dee, Kenneth Jozwiak, Steven Nemeth, Bernard Boudreau and Gregory Haas.

After one month of intensive prepara- tion on the part of Father Allen, chairman Thomas Schroer and the executive coun- cil, the night of February 13 brought a huge crowd to the gymnasium for the performance. Ed Mason M.C.ed the show which began with the Regiments” from the U. of I., who played several hit tunes as well as some “oldies”. Next, a local group, the “Vengeance” performed and introduced their new record. After an intermission, the “Mont- clairs from Chicago did a few numbers and then played as the backup group for England’s own Peter Asher and Gordon Waller. The duo performed for nearly an hour and featured their numerous successfu 1 record i ngs. At the show’s end, the audience and the S.B.A.S.C. were well-satisfied. Wearing their Carnaby Street clothes and singing in their English-accented voices, Peter Asher and Gordon Waller entertain a receptive audience with one of their million-sellers I go to pieces . With their four guitars, their long hair and their spirited showmanship, the 'Regiments im- pressed the many who saw them. Evidence of the SBSC’s work awes the multitude at the Peter and Gordon Concert. Concert At Abbot Vincent Gym The World’s Finest,” United States Navy Band presented two concerts on May 3, in the Abbot Vincent Auditorium. Nationally known harmonica soloist Richard Bain, USN, toured with the Navy Band and performed at both concert programs. Two years ago, the St. Bede Band spon- sored the U.S. Marine Band in concert. This year they did the same with the United States Navy Band, ‘The World's Finest. Under the direction of Lieutenant Com- mander Anthony A. Mitchell, the Navy Band played twice at St. Bede. Grade and high school students attended the matinee, and the general public filled the auditorium for an evening performance on May 3. With the exception of the World War II years, the Navy Band has toured the country each year since its formation in 1925. Appearing with the Band were Richard Bain, U.S.N., harmonica soloist; and Ben Mitchel Morris, U.S.N., vocalist. Proceeds from the concert went to more music and instruments for the St. Bede Academy Band. Death Takes Monk Before being named fifth bishop of the Diocese of Peoria, Bishop John Baptist Franz served in Spring- field and Dodge City, Kansas. Bishop Franz received his higher education from St. Francis College in Quincy, and Kendrick Seminary near St. Louis, Missouri, and was ordained by the late Archbishop John Glennon on June 13, 1920. Before being named the first Bish- op of Dodge City, Bishop Franz held various diocesan positions in Springfield. These positions in- cluded being director of the Priest’s Eucharistic League, Officialis” of the matrimonial court, and diocesan consultor and moderator of the diocesan conference. Since his return from Vatican Council II, Bishop Franz has en- couraged the clergy and faithful of his diocese to follow through on changes brought about by the Council Fathers. THE MOST REVEREND JOHN B. FRANZ After thirty-four years as a monk and twenty-eight as a priest, the Rev. Bede Russell, O.S.B., died on April 6, 1966. For many years Father was alumni editor for the school newspaper and taught civics and American history in the academy. Father Bede was well known for his work in the li- brary and he often went out of his way to tutor students. 27 Brothers And Sisters Essential Brother George cleans a press in preparation for a day's work in the print shop. This year. Brother Jerome was in charge of the print shop. It was his duty to see that everything ran smoothly. Sister Vidalina and Sister Guadalupe prepare meat loaf for the student’s evening meal. Although they rarely come into contact with them, the Brothers of St. Bede are im- portant in the daily lives of the students. Brothers make the physical apparatus of both the monastery and the school func- tion and they are often seen laboring on the farm, in the print shop, doing the mainte- nance work and working in the business office. Besides their manual labor, the Brothers say the Divine Office in English in the morning, afternoon and evening. They also have the opportunity of assisting the priests in Mass and other religious functions. St. Bede has its own “house- keepers —the Carmelite Sisters. A full day of work and prayer begins at 5:30 AM, when they rise to say prayers in the con- vent and to participate in the Mass in the convent chapel. Arriving from Mexico in 1951, the Sisters were given the duties of cooking meals for both the monastery and the school. Other duties of the Sisters are com- prised of doing monastery laun- dry and baking the bread, pies and cakes. 28 Part Of Bedan Community For freshmen, it is getting all your homework done and to class on time. For sophomores, it is keeping your biology notebook up to date. For juniors, it is preparing for an all-important chemistry sci- ence project, struggling with the problems of advanced algebra and trigonometry and taking the state U.S. Constitution test. For seniors it is studying for a five-chapter physics test, laboring with the vocabulary of Latin 4 and writing a religion theme, English essay, book reports and a U.S. govern- ment term paper. For every St. Bede student the curriculum offers a challenge. The path to knowledge runs ever rocky. For seventy-five years it has been that way at St. Bede and it will not change in the next seventy-five years either. It is that desire to do the difficult which makes men out of boys. Curriculum P.E. Relieves Pressures Physical education classes pro- vide an opportunity to relieve the pressures of study with vigorous physical activity. When weather permits, softball and fleet football fill the P.E. peri- ods. Volleyball, dodge ball and basketball, along with swimming, take priority when class shifts to the gymnasium. These games were mixed with physical con- ditioning as intensive running and calisthenics managed to keep the students in good shape. Mr. David Jenkins of Readak shows Richard Davey the proper place to record his word-per-minute and comprehension rates in his personal record book. Before the two-hour class session, Mike Smith and Dave Piccioli question their speed reading teacher, Mr. Ronald Sperry of Visual Concepts Incorporated. During a physical education softball game, Mike Kopina takes a cut at the pitch. Two New Courses Added Two new courses were added to the curriculum this year. Perceptive Reading Develop- ment and Readak enrolled 167 students from the academy and junior college. These two courses are designed to improve reading habits, increase reading speed and comprehension. Both courses are excellent prepara- tion for better high school and college reading. Mechanical drawing trains col- lege men in precision needed for accurately reproducing detailed blueprints and diagrams. This course helps to acquaint class members with the techniques of mechanical drawing as well as some of the functions of design. Fred Weller concentrates on a drafting problem in his mechanical drawing class. 33 History Promotes Understanding Social studies at St. Bede were taught by two new teachers this year. Mr. John Craig and Mr. James Garvey took the responsi- bilities for most of the history courses. They required term papers and numerous book re- ports. Surprise current events tests were the rule rather than the exception. Ancient history is offered to freshmen, while sophomores may take either world history or modern history. All juniors must take American history. U.S. government and economics for the seniors round out the cur- riculum. On a higher level, modern history and economics are available to the college men. On the whole, social studies give the students insight into the problems of other lands, as well as providing them with a thorough knowledge of their own country's history and government. Jim Flood summarizes a passage in his modern history class as Larry Johnson looks on. 34 Patrick Hines and Don O’Connor scan the Chicago Tribune for the latest stock market quotes for their college economics course. Brad Dirks and Mike Roach consult the Historical Bulletin for Mr. Garvey’s American history class. Religion Up-dated Steve Rohlfs and Mike Schlipmann look over some religious publications for religion class. Mike Kopina prepares for his religion class by studying the Bible. 36 According To Vatican II Father Claude shows the route of his travels to Wayne Batchelder and Tom Martin. With the conclusion of Vati- can II, the religion department sought to re-evaluate and im- prove its curriculum. In class and out, the department pre- sented up-dated ideas emphasiz- ing the liturgical renewal and the latest concepts of scriptural interpretation. Religious activi- ties were closely related to the curriculum as the students were exposed to new variations of participation at Mass. Class-wise, the freshmen study the Bible. Sophomores concen- trated exclusively on the liturgy and juniors grappled with the metaphysical nature of God and man as Thomistic principles were discussed, debated and di- gested. Seniors took aspects of Christian theology in the first semester and were exposed to the Christian ideals of marriage during the second semester. 37 John Lally and Robert Mallinger look on as Father Bernard conducts an experiment for his chemistry class. Tom Pigati intensely studies some microorga- nisms in Father Kevin’s biology class. 38 Science Dept. Pat Weiher and Dave Urban conduct an experiment for Father Eugene’s physics class. Strives To Stay Abreast As the world of science makes seemingly greater strides each day, the student and teacher are often hard pressed to keep up with the latest trends. Last summer most of the Bedan science teachers took1 courses in their particular fields to enable them to present the best possible courses to their students. Freshmen obtain a solid basis for future study by learning the basic natural and physical sciences. Life processes, mysteries of enzymes and the DNA molecule are included in the BSCS Blue Version of biology taken in the sophomore year. In the last two years, students may take advantage of the two-year agri- cultural course. Juniors are offered chemistry with the new and chal- lenging “Chem-Study program. Se- niors are the physicists of the acade- my, as the high school physics course covers thoroughly the concepts of mechanics, heat, light and electricity. David Bernabei and Ralph Maciejewski construct a scale model farm for Father Benedict's agriculture class. Father Gordian assists Merle Piacenti with his advanced algebra assignment. Mathematics Courses offered by the mathematics department have been highly rated over the years. Most of the students take at least three years of mathematics. They find this advantageous when the time comes to take entrance tests required for college. In addition to the facility in mathe- matical skills, courses stress the knowl- edge and theory of our number system. Algebra and geometry are studied by the freshmen and sophomores, respectively. With this background, juniors take on the rigors of advanced algebra and trig- onometry. College algebra and analytic geometry are available for seniors. Col- lege men have a variety of advanced courses from which to choose. In recent years, the more advanced freshmen and sophomore classes are offered the concepts of set theory intrin- sic to the “New Math.” To demonstrate the equality of equations, David Kraus weighs a known amount of chalk for Ronald Burkhart and Michael Sheehan. 41 Conquering determinants is the task undertaken by Mike Hanrahan in Father Gordian’s calculus class. Bill Engels helps John Lin- denmcyer with his drills in Mr. Millisitchs German class. Father Alban is teaching freshman Greek to a group of seminarians. 42 Languages Broaden Cultural Horizons Barry Burke looks on as John Doherty records a conversation for Mr. Millisitch's sophomore Spanish class. From the earliest days of St. Bede, study of language, espe- cially Latin, has been a major part of the curriculum. At pres- ent, the five languages taught range from classical Latin and Greek to contemporary French, German and Spanish. Aims of the language department are not only developing latent abilities to digest and express ideas in a foreign tongue but broadening the student’s cultural horizons. Freshmen and sophomores have a choice between German, Spanish and Latin while the up- per class divisions may choose any language except Greek which is available only to col- legians. Like Latin, German was ex- tended into a four year course this year and more high school students took advantage of Span- ish and French. Most of the teaching emphasis was placed on pattern practice and oral techniques, rather than translation of written passages alone. Audio and visual aids were widely used, especially in the modern language courses. 43 Students Exposed to College Dave Bergonia takes notes as Bill Holierich reads the different sentence constructions in sixth period sophomore English class. With colleges placing more and more emphasis on English, the importance of this subject is not overlooked. St. Bede’s English department gears its four years to prepare the student to cope with grammar and litera- ture on the college level. Freshmen and sophomores concentrate mainly on the basic rudiments of English grammar, but get a taste of literature through selected short stories, poetry and prose. Juniors are exposed to novels and plays written by well-known authors in order to give them an outlook on literature from the American side. Seniors explore English litera- ture by such men as Chaucer and Shakespeare. They also advanced their writing skills, from themes to essays and finally term papers. 44 Preparatory English Courses Timothy Dietz reads from the freshman literature book. Kurt Flaherty traces the history of American literature in junior English class. Father Gabriel’s senior English class listens atten- tively to ajoan Baez album. 45 Training Instills Mike Chiado works out a problem during his senior business class. In typing class Rich Bibula practices on a warm-up drill. John Mayer fills in a workbook for his college accounting class. Business Competence Typing, business mathematics and bookkeeping are offered to those academy students who seri- ously consider entering the world of business. In typing class, students learn not only the fundamentals of touch typing” but also are ex- posed to the construction and composition of what they type, such as business letters and book reports. Whereas business mathematics deals mainly with handling the numbers of business, it also ac- quaints students with various aspects of the commercial world. Bookkeeping gives the stu- dent first-hand experience in keeping books. Through several projects during the year, the complete bookkeeping cycle was taught. Accounting is part of the ju- nior college curriculum for those students who plan to major in commerce and business adminis- tration. Central objective of these courses is to educate men capa- ble of directing and conducting business and economic affairs. Stress is placed on the intellec- tual competence needed for the appraisal of business and eco- nomic situations. Bob Crawford and Tom Donnelly check Fred Steinbach's work on schedule of accounts receivable in Mrs. Kuffel's bookkeeping class. 47 Complete Liberal Arts Offered Students who possess a pro- pensity toward writing can find an outlet for this bent in journal- ism class. Most of the members of this class are involved in one of the student publications. Art and philosophy courses are offered to keep the school policy of providing a truly lib- eral arts education. Each course in philosophy is founded on the sound basis of the scholastic tradition. Presenta- tion of the general view of philosophic history and thought is followed by a more detailed investigation of various fields of human knowledge. Art class consists of a survey of artistic modes along with a study of the history, theory and techniques of art and artists. Dave Piccioli, Curney Hollerith, Don Gillan and Jim Zmudka look on as Sister Helen reads a passage in Father Raymond’s journalism class. Father Owen conducts a discussion in his college philosophy class. At the Honors Day Assembly, everyone wishes he had worked a little harder during the year. He envies those who receive credit for high grades or certificates for outstanding achievement in a national test. He would like to hear his own name echo through the gym as a recipient of honors in science, history or agriculture. Next year he will try harder. But you cannot learn it all in the classroom, you cannot even come close. Books and studies are pri- mary but they cannot teach you how to organize and lead —as the Student Council does, how to write and edit —as the VIA BAEDA, BEDAN BRUIT or RECORDS do, how to play an instrument or march —as the band does, or how to act and speak — as the drama club does. Extra-curricular activities are that part of an education which is necessary to produce a truly well- rounded, educated individual. Honors Organizations Council Has Successful Second 52 With one full year of success- ful operation under its belt, the Student Council proceeded in retaining the lust of the old and initiating numerous new ideas to add to its ever increasing responsibility and importance. Leadership was in abundance on the council and executive officers were no exception. Michael Martin, Patrick Weiher, George Kapacinskas and Stephen Wolf worked throughout the year with faculty adviser Father Allen to accomplish the goals of the S.B.A.S.C. Beginning the year with St. Bede’s first Freshman Orienta- tion Day, the council quickly Highlighting this year’s Student Council activities was the presentation of Peter and Gordon from England. Year As It Sponsors Concert Gathered around the main Student Council bulletin board are the executive officers: Michael Martin, presi- dent; Patrick Weiher, vice-president; George Kapa- cinskas, treasurer; and Stephen Wolf, secretary. took charge of this year's early Homecoming. Nauvoo Day came a week later and S.B.A.S.C. again had everything under control. The finance committee raised money from a dance and several post-game hops. In December, the members treated themselves to a Christ- mas dinner. Perhaps the most spectacular of all student council projects was the sponsoring of the popular Peter and Gordon” in concert. In addition to these projects, the S.B.A.S.C. burdened itself with solving numerous school problems. Enthusiasm ran high during the officers' campaign in the spring. 53 Bruit Completes 3rd Year Circulation manager Tony Fernandez observes as Tom Schroer writes cutlines for the Bedan Bruit. In its third year of existence, the Bedan Bruit staff made efforts to keep up their weekly coverage of the St. Bede scene. Using more photographs and pre-plan- ned feature stories, the Bedan re- porters were able to treat school events with effectiveness. Each edition of the weekly supplement was carefully plan- ned by faculty adviser Father Raymond and editor-in-chief James Locke. Many new mem- bers were added to the staff. Together with the usual humor of “Class Capades” and the human interest of “Campus Capers,” this year’s thought provoking editorials in the Bruit, provided a well-rounded view of the St. Bede student in and out of the classroom. Bruit writer John Dee has his typing closely watched by editor-in-chief James Locke and faculty moderator Father Raymond.

Honors Given To 1966 Via Baeda Last year the Via Baeda re- ceived the coveted ‘‘All Ameri- can”, “Publication of Distinc- tion”, “A+ Special” —nothing but the highest awards from various rating services. In 1967, it is the job of the staff to keep up this reputation. Co-editors Patrick Weiher and Thomas Schroer knew what ir was to put together an annual. They had done it once before. But a new year brings new problems, more deadlines to meet, more town pers to give up, more time spent working with new and different pictures, layout and copy. Graduation plagues all or- ganizations and the yearbook is no exception. The loss of copy editor Jay McElligott was felt this year. However, the staff planned for the future as a num- ber of sophomores were intro- duced to the rigors of the Via Baeda.

JETS Explore Engineering Heralding the Science Fair arc three of the Junior Engineering Technical Society officers: James Zmudka, vice-president; Robert Barnato, treasurer; and Michael Kaiser, secretary. Dr. Eloy Alvarez, guest speaker for the JETS, is an organic research chemist at Foster Grant Company, Peru. For his presentation to the JETS, he is making a microscope examination of the structure of polymers. Every other Wednesday night, twenty-some engineering- minded Bedans gathered to listen to talks on every aspect of the field of engineering given by experts on the subject. Led by officers Nickola Chi- aradonna, James Zmudka, Mi- chael Kaiser and Robert Barnato, the JETS, or Junior Engineering Technical Society, began its second year at St. Bede. Closely connected with the BBB, the JETS accompanied them on many field trips. A few members did some research with gyroscopes. 60 BBB Sponsors Science Fair Mr. David Cairns of Illinois Bell Telephone Laboratories, Chicago, discusses the readability of Bell Telephone's new book, “Conductors and Semi- Conductors with Father Bernard and Mr. Russ Jenkins. At a science club meeting, Mr. Earl Gealow, an expert on guns, shows Raymond Lenski a firearm of Civil War vintage. For the past several years, science has made huge advances in all its curricular outlets, biology, chemis- try and physics particularly. Seven years ago. Father Bernard started the science club as a means for interested students to learn of new developments and old. At each bi-monthly Beciey Beaker Breakers meeting a speaker from some occupation in science is in- vited to lecture before the club. In addition, tours and field trips bring the club to see science in action. It was largely through the effects of the BBB, that the Science Fair was again successful. BBB officers James Wujek, sec- retary; James Boyle, treasurer; Chris Luppcns, president; and Bernard Boudreau, vice-president, have a meeting to prepare for an upcoming science club meeting. 61 Band Enters Six Ensembles Making up the woodwind section of the Band are —Standing: Michael Smith, Paul Berens, Gary Puetz, Michael Callan, Alan Yerly. Sitting: Gary Mattingly, John Cheslic, William Kilarski, Edward Novak and William Zawacki. Losing several members due to graduation, this year’s band was faced with the problem of | rebuilding several sections. Per- cussion and cornets were strong- er than usual, but new musicians had to be started in the trom- bone, clarinet and saxophone sections. Highlighting the band’s activi- ties were successful concerts in December and May, and musical entertainment provided for all home football and basketball games. Six separate ensembles entered competition in the state contests. i Mr. Arthur Blocher, director, goes over a selection with Mr. James Brown, percussion instructor. 62 In Statewide Competition Composing the brass section of the Band are —Standing: Paul Biolchini, Thomas Schroer, James Dutkiewicz, James Fusinetti, John Smith, Larry Snyder.

Under the direction ol their officers, the Association of Alumni and Friends spun sored numerous projects throughout the year. During the summer of '66 the tra ditional picnic was held on the grounds of the athletic field. On Homecoming week end the Association sponsored the Glow and the Alumni Get-Together following the game. The Dad's night football game and the Parent's Nighi basketball game were also under their direction. This spring the Men’s Club hon- ored Bedan athletes at the All-Sport Banquet.

Mothers’ Club Strives For Goal Homecoming’s Roast Beef Dinner, the bake sale, the Christmas party, Father’s Night, Recollection Day and the annual spring Card Party, all sponsored by the Mother's Club, proved again to be memorable high- lights of the year. With improvement of parent- faculty communications as its highest objective, the club showed an active interest in nearly every event at St. Bede. Students and faculty alike are fortunate in having an organiza- tion such as the Mother’s Club supporting school functions. Members of the Mothers' Club enjoy a gift exchange at the Christmas party they gave for the Carmelite Sisters. Gathered in the Records' room are staff editors— Sitting: Michael Martin.

Records Revolves Into Review For the past two years, the Records has been a quarterly — the way it began back in 1920. Under faculty adviser Father Gabriel and co-editors Richard Johnson and Jeffrey Toraason, the Records evolved into a re- view rather than a newspaper. More editors and reporters were added to the staff to give wider viewpoint to editorial which covered everything fror religion to sports. Seven of the twenty-seven reporters on the staff included — Standing: David Piccioli.Jon Hetzner, Michael Kaiser, Robert Langham, Rob Mai linger. Sitting: James Doyle and Phillip Colleran. Tutoring Bolsters Honor Roll Top-ranking collegians in scholastic endeavors are: Donald Davey, Brother Stephen Barron, O.S.B., Michael Vanko, William Cahill, David Ritterbusch and Peter Navin. One of the most important of last year's Student Council suc- cesses was the tutoring program. After lining up tutors, students and a comprehensive schedule for extra-curricular teaching, the program was put into effect during the second semester. As more students made the honor roll last year, the student teaching was carried over for another year. Nearly thirty tutors volunteered to help out the ninety-some students who had the desire to try to raise their marks outside of class. Although the number of honor roll members remained the same, many new names appeared on the director-of-studies' list every six weeks, so the tutoring system will very likely continue on its permanent basis. Requirements for the honor roll demand the a student main- tain a “B” or 4. average in his academic work for each particu- lar marking period. As a rule, about ten percent of a class generally place on the honor roll. Those students who acquire a 4.6 average or better are placed on the high honor roll. Particularly diligent students are rewarded by berths on the merit roll, which is reserved for those students who receive all l s on their six-weeks reports. Basis for these marks are the number grades by which teach- ers rate student’s application and deportment. Because of the increasing emphasis placed on such honors by many college admission’s departments, students, especially upperclassmen, strive to made their places on both the honor and merit rolls. 67 Seniors And Juniors Represented Seven of the high ranking seniors in scholastic studies include— Patrick Weiher.

This year, seven seniors were named semi-finalists by the Illinois State Scholarship Com- mission as a result of their scores. In the spring of their junior year, The National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test is given to students. Richard John- son was named a semi-finalist this year. Another annual test was that of “Time” magazine, in which William Balestri placed first, Richard Marinangeli, second; and David Piccioli, third. In the fourth Streator Senior Bowl, the St. Bede team lost, for the fourth straight year, in the semi-finals to the team which eventually wound up on top. After de- feating Savanah High, Farmington Schmatz and Streator Rotary in the ques- tion-and-answer type program, the Be- dans were defeated by Belvidere.

All teachers have at least one thing in common; they were once stu- dents themselves. Five, ten, twenty, thirty or more years ago they were on the opposite end of the term paper they are now evalu- ating, the algebra test they are now correcting, the science experi- ment they are now judging or the religion exam they are now giving. They know what being a student is, which makes it easier for every- one. But the faculty at St. Bede does more than just teach. They live with the students and assume the thankless roles of prefecting, administrating, advising and guid- ing the students. They take on the seemingly impossible job of ac- cepting for nine-months the obli- gations and responsibilities of parents in preparing boys for the future. Faculty Father Arthur, rector and principal of the school, re- checks the teacher-room-assignment chart in preparation for the new school year. RT. REV. LAWRENCE VOHS, O.S.B. Third Abbot of St. Bede Abbey President of St. Bede College and Academy St. Bede is an academy, a ju- nior college, a boarding school. It is connected with a monastery. St. Bede is different than an or- dinary institution of learning. Its administration is completely responsible for boys of thirteen and young men of twenty. Four men bear these responsibilities: Abbot Lawrence Vohs; Father Arthur Schmit, rector of the academy; Father Theodore Fuertges, director of studies for the college; and Father Owen Fredrickson, director of studies for the academy. In his first year with the col- lege, Father Theodore found it necessary to make only minor changes. He relied heavily on Father Theodore, director of studies for the junior college, prepares for his history class. Father Owen and together they were successful in initiating two rapid reading” programs avail- able to all students. Five new teachers appeared on the faculty: Mr. John Craig, Mr. Daniel Frommelt, Mr. James Garvey, Mr. Frank Millisitch and Father Edward Purcell. It was Father Arthur's fourth year as rector and he continued his policy of more student re- sponsibility. He relied on and supported the Student Council in its second year. Many changes in study halls, locker rooms and dormitories bettered the living and studying conditions of the underclassmen. The Rt. Rev. Lawrence Vohs, O.S.B., was ordained to the priesthood in 1928, and for a quarter of a century has been ab- bot of St. Bede. During his term, the Benedictine community has grown steadily. Since his elec- tion, the physical features at St. Bede have been altered. Chief projects include the floors of the academy, the new gymnasium, the water tower, sewage disposal plant, stadium, abbey print shop and more recently the school's new language rooms. Plans for an abbey church are in the mak- ing. For the last four years, Father Arthur Schmit, O.S.B., has been rector and principal of St. Bede College and Academy.

Business Office Two years ago, a large amount of office machines and business records were moved from the monastery to the first floor of the administration building. The new set-up was called the busi- ness office and it has grown in size ever since. Under the watchful eye of Fa- ther Felix, the procurator, Broth- er Joseph, Brother Mark and Father Michael process business forms and keep monastery rec- ords and records of student spending accounts. Although it is only open for brief periods after meals, the business office is always swarm- ing with students buying tickets, withdrawing money and occa- sionally putting some in. With its many services, the business office proves to be a vital cen- ter for Bedan students. 78 As procurator.

Students always know how the team is doing and the papers will tell who wins or loses and why. So, for the representation of their school, students go out for sports. But there is a lot more. There is that pride and sense of self-satis- faction, that driving force that makes you struggle for that little bit of extra yardage, or fight for that rebound, or overtake a faster opponent in a race or get that pay- off pitch across.

After dropping their first six con- tests: two to Ottawa, two to LaSalle- Peru and two to Morris, the Bruin netmen bested Rochelle in their final match to wind-up in fourth place in the Illinois Valley Conference. The Bedans then placed 5th out of the 22 teams in the district. Key men this year were Harry Hildebrandt, Ken Becker and Steve Van Daele. These three usually managed to take their individual sets. Hildebrandt advanced to the semi- finals of the district before losing to jeff Claus of Ottawa. In '67 the team will depend heavily on Marty McCrindle, Jim Dutkiewicz, Greg Haas and William Schoop.

After a week of running in the gym, the cold spring let up and allowed the '66 St. Bede track team only a few days of outside work before their first meet with Mendota and Marquette. The Bruins came out on the short end of this tri- angular and set a pattern for the short season. In every meet, the cindermen gained numerous seconds and thirds but never enough firsts to gain the top position. After dropping their second triangular, Coach Troglio's boys bettered Mar- quette but could not match Marseilles. First places went to Jeff Toraason in the high hurdles, Dave Nagle, discus, and Ron Cregier in the 440. In the Bureau County meet held at Princeton, St. Bede did better than expected as they finished fifth in the twelve-team meet. Milers Tim O'Rourke and Jim Fanning turned in their best showing of the year. Bruin trackmen ended their season with Streator and Ottawa. Due to a number of postponements and inclement weather, St. Bede did not enter the Illinois Valley and District State meets.

Graduation and injuries are common enemies of a football team Last year a good number Ot sophomores were brought up to the varsity to compensate tor the loss ot several graduating seniors But nothing could be done to abate the host ot in- juries which plagued the Bruins throughout the entire season. Record-wise the team did not tare too well, but they were a much better football team than their one and eight mark reveals. Both the offensive and deten- so unus progressed as the season wore on. Ending a four-year losing streak against St. Bede, the Trojans ot Mendota took the Bedans m the opening game W O Although St Bede had six- teen first downs and LaSalle Pcru had four, the final score w as 594S m favor of the Cavaliers. In an early-season Homecom- ing game, the Trinity Saints trom Bloomington won their first game from the Bruins by a score of 27-6. On the following Sun- day afternoon, St. Bede lost 25 0 to Alleman of Rock Island be- fore a large Dad’s Day crowd.

Deliberate Offense Marks Bruins For the second straight year, the St. Bede Bruins were vic- torious in exactly half of their scheduled contests, winning and losing 12 overall and finishing 6-5 in their Illinois Valley bouts. Although in the '66-'67 season Coach Harold Gaffney's varsity quintet was taller than in past years, a tight defense, ball control and a deliberate offense again prevailed. Most of the scoring was done by Tom Shea, who ended the season with 348 points for a 14.5 point game average, and Ron Cregier, who racked up 259 counters and a double figure average. Mike Resetich and Rich Baird were the defensive stand- outs and in rebounds hauling down 226 and 195 respectively. Starting the season in fine style, the Bedan basket men drubbed Depue 80-53 and downed always-tough Streator 46-36. Poor shooting in the first half left the Bruins trailing Wenona by 17 as the final quarter began. Louie Orlandi got hot but the comeback fell one point short. Following a loss at Mendota and a close victory over Hall, the Bruins entered their own invitational tourney. The var- sity quintet stopped Normal but had to settle for second place as Mendota was once more victorious. During the Christmas break, the Bruins ventured to Batavia for their Holiday Tournament. After overwhelming Elmwood Park 76-48 St. Bede's cagers lost in overtime to Geneva 46-45. Next Newark and Streator were beaten before the varsity was outlasted by Ottawa Mar- quette 55-53 in a triple over- time thriller. Twice victorious Mendota fell victim to the re- vengeful Bedans, but then Mor- ris and L-P took two close ones 58-61 and 56-60 re- spectively. A pair of wins over Depue and Princeton, and a loss at Toluca brought the Bruins to the Ottawa game. The Pirates were defeated by a point in the last second of play. Defeats at the hands ot L -P and Henry closed the regular season. In the Regional Tournament at Princeton, the varsity basket- bailers lost their first encounter to the LaMoille Lions. 121 Bruins Give All In the midst of the L-P Cavaliers, Tom Shea (45) lets fly with a hook shot.

High- light of the season was defeating La- Salle-Peru twice, 52-39 and 69-49. Steve Diemer took scoring and re- bounding honors as he paced the Bedan attack.

Coach James Tro- glio's Baby Bruins battled to a 6-11 record to complete their first year of high school com- petition. Big wins among the six included two lopsided vic- tories over Hall, a romp over Putnam County and three squeakers over Toluca 48-46, Morris 43-39 and Princeton 33-31. Dave Conroy led all freshman scorers and was followed by Ron Sharkey. The rest of the scoring and the rebounding was relatively evenly distributed among the six regulars. Dan Mini, John Hull, Phil Brate and Jim Shea patrolled under the backboards while Conroy and Sharkey shared the ball han- dling duties. This year’s crop of freshmen produced many players who will fill vacancies on higher Bedan teams in the years to come. John Hull (42) shoots a jumper over the out- stretched arm of a tall Princeton opponent. Philip Brate and two Morris Redskins watch as Dennis Winne (54) tries one from the corner. Juniors, sophomores and freshmen make up the important two-thirds of the school. Immature? —some of them: fun-loving? — most of them: anticipating? —all of them. Underclassmen sleep in common dorms, study in the same study halls and share the same locker rooms. They can follow orders, undertake any chores and accept tedious obligations, but they cannot go to town often or stay up late or call their girl friends without permission. Underclassmen are thankful —the juniors because they are not soph- omores, the sophomores because they are not freshmen and the minims because they cannot go any lower. But in one, two, or three years they will be on top. They will know what it is like to be seniors. There they will realize it was all worth it.

It's not easy to make it from tower field, in and out of the swimming pool, through the locker room and up to 5:00 study hall in time to keep out of trouble with the prefects. It's not easy to judge all the laundry days just right so as to have clean socks all the time. And it's so disgusting when you carefully plan your half hour of after-supper free-time in such a way as to be able to call home, you finally get permission and there you find a line 3-deep with seniors waiting to call their girls. Sure it’s not easy, but it's not supposed to be. Freshman year is the trial period at St. Bede. It can make you or break you, it's a big milestone along the Bedan way. Under the guidance of their prefects, Fathers Andrew 'and Leo, the freshman boarders met and overcame most of their obstacles. They elected Terrance Pearson, Timothy Dietz and Wil- liam Fanning to represent them in the Student Council and were active in the school’s various clubs. Several minims found themselves early, gaining posi- tions on both the sophomore and freshman teams as well as placing on the honor and merit rolls. Throughout the year the class of '70 never shunned work.

In everything from bus rides to lockers, from study hall to Student Council, the newest addition to SB A had to yield to superiority. If someone had to stand on the bus, or accept a small locker, or occupy a large crowded study hall or sit in the back of the Student Council meetings, the freshman day students would get the call. Father Allen, representatives John Kratz, Thomas Martin and alternate James Nanni were responsible for keeping all freshmen on their toes. It wasn’t too much of a job. On the athletic field and in the class- room, they showed their initia- tive. Many appeared on the honor roll, merit roll and athletic teams. Along with their boarder counterparts, the freshmen made the enjoyable trip to see the Hennepin power plant and took the not-so-enjoyable NEDT test. Next year the freshman day students will move up a big step. They will have more unity, a better insight to St. Bede —and a little superiority. 138 Dennis Sherman Kevin Toner Steven Skinner Ronald Twardowski John Smith Michael Van De Rostyne Randy Smith Mark Vincigucrra James Spoeri Dennis Winne Joseph Staski Michael Yerly John Kratz, Jim Nanni and Tom Martin, Student Council representatives for the freshman day students, prepare to organize the planned activities for their group.

Homecoming, Nauvoo weekend, Student Council, study hall, school assemblies, basketball, semester exams, dances, intra- murals, baseball, spring fever- all elements which make up a year at St. Bede. The sophomores discovered this last year. Experience is a wonderful feeling and the sophs found things so much easier after they had done it once. They took a much more active part in their school because they knew what it was all about. Led by representatives John Doherty, Michael Janko and Richard Marinangeli, the second-year men made themselves known throughout the school by making the honor and merit rolls, participating in ath- letics, joining various clubs and sup- porting the general interest of the school. Father Raymond, Mr. J. Craig and Mr. J. Garvey helped to guide the day student class of ’69 through their sophomore year, adding the NEDT test to the regular schedule of class exams. Boarder-day student get-to- gethers were highlights of the year which bridged the gap to upper- class status. The sophomores grew up in many ways this year. With half their high school days behind them, they can count on two more years — at St. Bede.

It had to be made before August 28. They had to decide whether or not they would return to St. Bede —twenty-two did. It meant another year away from home, another year of once-a-week town-pers, another year of submission, another year of preparation. Sophomore year carries with it that “in between” feeling. Not a freshman anymore but still a long way from the top. The returning class of '69 pushed this aside, set and achieved many goals. Under the guidance of Fathers Harold and Dennis, representatives Anthony Fernandez and Michael Kaiser planned blowouts and negotiated for better town-permissions. The sophomores found an easy year study- wise and placed many on the honor roll. In like manner, they provided many an exciting contest in the field of athletics. Of all the extra-curricular activities, the sophomores were most interested in the drama club. Over half the department was accepted into the Genesians and they played a large part in the success of the Variety Show. For the first time, they were allowed to take part in the Nauvoo weekend and the sophs took advantage of it, regarding the return trip to St. Mary's Academy as one of the year's highlights. This year’s sophomore boarders made a habit of overcoming their difficulties, a trait which will come in handy during their next two years at St. Bede.

Juniors Undertake Dominic Andreoni Ronald Ankiewicz John Antkowiak Tobias Barry John Basalay Jay Baznik James Bertolino Gregory Block Leslie Blum Throughout the year, the class of '68 proved themselves a credit to St. Bede. An ambitious group, the junior boarders were active in all Bedan activities, including the Records, science club and band. A good number earned starting positions on the football team. As a whole, this department successfully grappled with the prob- lems of studies and increasing school-wide responsibilities. The experienced prefecting of Fathers Roger and Charles guided the class. Junior representatives William Aplington Kevin Belcher Bernard Boudreau John Arkins Lawrence Bell James Boyle Barry Burke and Robert Mallinger aided their department by dili- gent work on the Student Council. Senior year was never far from the minds of the juniors. Thus, they began the foundation for a college education by taking the PSAT and the National Merit Qualifying tests. Frequent blowouts, dances and the spring trip to St. Mary's Acad- emy, Nauvoo, helped to relieve the many pressures of the junior year. 150 Greater Responsibilities Junior boarder Student Council representatives, Barry Burke and Bob Mallinger, check over proposed department activities.

They had reached the point in life when maturity starts to appear in leaps and bounds. A lot was expected of the juniors this year and the day students came through in fine style. Many problems accompany junior year but with the help of prefects Father Eugene and Mr. F. Milisitch, and representatives Michael Welgat, Kevin Mason and John Ar- kins, most of them were overcome. Studies were of the most importance, of course, but the juniors really came through in sports. They provided the backbone for var- sity football and basketball and were repre- sented in baseball, track and cross-country. The band and the “Bedan Bruit” drew heavi- ly from their ranks, but the juniors were interested in all extra-curricular activities. For the time the juniors had to do some serious thinking about their future plans, whether college-orientated or not. But all this was another part of their devel- opment. Preparation for senior year, for college, for manhood.

As a high school, St. Bede provides an excellent preparation for college. As a junior college, St. Bede offers interme- diate training and a foundation for future university study. Each year certificates are awarded in such fields as commerce, pre-engineering, pre-law and pre-medicine. Backed by these certificates and the knowledge and study habits acquired from two years of junior work, the JC men will find it easier to complete their education at another col- lege or university. But St. Bede College life isn't all study. College officers James McKiernan, presi- dent; Patrick Propheter, vice-president; Thomas Sullivan, secretary-treasurer; and Thomas Frasor, social co-ordinator, did their best, planning socials and arranging more liberal town permissions. Their main social event was the unique prom-dance held in the Spring. In his first year as college prefect, Father Hugh was watchful for the problems in discipline and study but maintained a self- responsibility atmosphere in college men. In this way, the collegians had a chance to develop personal traits essential to them irregardless of their futures.

After three years of waiting senior year becomes a reality. Senior year brings with it a last Homecoming, a senior day, a final semester, a prom, a commencement and a tra- dition. But as the class of ’67 makes way for the class of ’71, the graduates will have more to remember than the events of their final year. Their classmates —and all they have gone through together, their teachers —and all they have re- ceived from them, their school — and all they have given to it. And the seniors will also have something to look forward to. Their future —and how they have prepared for it. Graduates Seniors Show Unity James P. Andreoni Spring Valley Four years of football and baseball kept Pat busy while at St. Bede. His future plans include a college education. Philip L. Bari age Champaign Phil was football manager for all four years, on the track team for two, a bas- ketball cheerleader and a Shack worker. His future plans include a career in the airlines. Joseph P.

Baird Peru While planning to contin- ue his education at a junior college, Rich was outstand- ing in football for two years and baseball and bas- ketball for three. When they look back on their years at St. Bede, the class of sixty-seven will have a lot to be proud of. Many partici- pated on the sports field, matching ability and desire with athletes of other schools; others found themselves in St. Bede’s ever increasing extra-curricular activities; and the usual number earned places on the honor and merit rolls. But what is likely to be remembered the most by the graduates, will be class unity. Inside the classroom, on the cross- country team, at a Bedey Beaker Breakers meeting or just riding a bus to a basket- ball game, the seniors, day students and boarders alike, experienced a new feeling of oneness. This unity was felt throughout the school in the form of capable leadership. Members of the seventy-fifth graduating class headed the Student Council, the drama club, the Jets, the Records, the Via Baeda, and Bedan athletic teams. During the year, the four-year men looked ahead in their post-graduation plans, settling on their college or plan- ning their future livelihood. This was the time for young men to plot their first steps in the world —time to step from the Via Baeda to the way of the world. In the years to come, the '67 gradu- ates will remember the good times of senior day, the prom, and commencement day, as well as the pride and comradeship of senior year —the best of years. 164 David A. Bernabei Dalzell After graduation from St. Bede, Dave is undecided as to what to do. During his school time Dave drove a truck for his dad. Richard G.

Most have been at St. Bede Academy for four years and they have struggled with the rules of freshman year, the problems of “sophomoritis” and the rigorous studies of being juniors. As seniors, they are finally on top, their waiting is over. They have the privileges of staying in town longer, going to bed later, ordering from the Igloo oftener, getting phone-per easier and graduating sooner than anyone else. This year, the boarders found time for more of their interests. Many were out for sports, others went into extra-curric- ular activities for the first time and the seniors placed more than their share on the honor roll. The resident seniors produced more than their share of leaders too, especially in Student Council representatives Richard Johnson, Thomas Schroer and John Kearin, whose efforts were seen in such S.B.A.S.C. projects as better phone facilities, a school laundramat and the Peter and Gordon concert. In his role as prefect, Father Joseph guided a department that was already uni- fied. From Homecoming to Prom time, the boarder class of ’67 firmly cemented the ties that will be the foundation of memories in the years to come. James F. Zmudka LaSalle Jim was vice-president of the Jets and treasurer of the BBB his senior year. Jim was an honor roll student and won an NEDT award as a sophomore. David L.

Roger Ewers. 180 Seniors Look Toward Graduation With their graduation day, May twenty- eighth, always in the back of their minds, the St. Bede seniors sailed through their final year. Both old and new greeted the future graduates. The usual number of tests, with their fancy names and confusing initials, were confronted. As in the past, fourth- year men made up the major portion of the Records staff. The joyous ritual of cap-and- gown measurements, further marked the passage of time. 1966-67 wasn't without its surprises either. Almost every senior had a job, from waiting or shack working for the boarders to garage attendant and grocery boy for the day students. Early in February, the seniors found themselves digging out of one of the heaviest snow storms on record. At his after-school job, Jim Locke prepares a complex printing press for action. Joe Jana uses his skills at a basketball game. 181 Seminarians On Way To Priesthood Gary C. Barto James T. Brennan Michael W. Brunick Terence M. Burke Spring Valley. Illinois Chicago, Illinois Ottawa. Illinois Elmhurst. Illinois William T. Cahill Wyoming. Illinois Donald J. Davey Oglesby . Illinois Call them fourth-floorites or seminarians, the young men at St. Bede studying for the priesthood are an admirable lot. Although few in number, they give a good example in everything they do and merit respect throughout the school because of it. With the exception of empha- sis on Latin and Greek, the cur- riculum of the seminarians is basically the same as the other junior college men. Outside the classroom there are many differ- ences. Fourth-floor men concen- trate on their spiritual lives by attending daily Mass, receiving the sacraments and making fre- quent visits to chapel. Everyday they set aside time for medita- tion, prayer and spiritual read- ing. But as their prefect Father Adam knows, being a seminarian is not twenty-four hours of study, prayer and worship. They par- ticipate in various forms of in- tramurals and have regular work chores. To aid the Variety Show, the sems worked up folk songs and presented the western skit Aznanab”. Throughout the year, freshmen and sophomores alike gain the maturity to guide them in their future, whether monastic, dio- cesan or otherwise. 182 John W. Diamond Lombard, Illinois Frederick R.

Sister Helen Stephen, C.T.D. Five religious are enrolled in the St. Bede Junior College and Academy. Brother Leon, a La- Salette brother and Brothers Stephen and Mark of St. Bede, take college courses. The two Carmelite sisters attending class- es in the high school are Sisters Helen Stephen, C.T.D., and Sis- ter Magdalena, C.T.D. On holy days and other major feasts, the Carmelite nuns join the rest of the community for Mass in the student Chapel. Sisters Victoria, Magdalena, Elsa and Alba prepare to sing the communion hymn. 189 Brother Stephen Barron, O.S.B. Brother Mark Lauer, O.S.B. Sister Magdalena, C.T.D. Seventy-some years ago, the first building of St. Bede was erected. This structure was miles from the nearest town. But this distance did not surpress the interest of the local area. Over the years, St. Bede has grown, the nearby towns have turned into cities and the bonds joining the two have increased. Without the patrons and firms whose names appear on the next few pages, production of this book would have been impossible. These institutions and establish- ments which contributed to the operation of the VIA BAEDA have again expressed the interest and support that St. Bede has received for decades.

This off-site operation saved nearly 6 weeks “down-time”. It took less than 2 hours to move the furnace shell 87 y2 feet. After that less than 12 hours were required to lower the furnace shell 3 feet 4 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. This operation has been performed five times in the steel industry—and Eichleay has moved all five.

Only through the generosity of our advertisers and patrons was this publication able to function financially. Other behind-the-scene people include Root Studios and our own Fathers Gilbert and Gordian for their faithful assistance and willingness to work with the staff. Now it is time to say: Good- bye and may God bless you. r -
