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

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.
