I 1971 VIA BAEDA St. Bede Academy Peru, Illinois 61354 Volume XXIX 4 PROGRESS is a forward movement toward attaining desired goals in life, and establish- ing new ones. It is the key to the religious, intel- lectual, physical and cultural development of the student and to the improvement of the institu- tions involved. During the 1970-71 school year, a layman be- came principal of the Academy. This was the first time in St. Bede history and the beginning of a new academic era at the school. Different academic avenues opened as six courses in- cluding Black History, Film making, Music Ap- preciation and Psychology became part of the curriculum. A new board of directors was selected that included four laymen and four priests. It was the first time in the history of the school that laymen were appointed to this position. In 1970-71 the firm of Mitchell-Gillurgula Assoc., international architects, were hired to draw up plans for the construction of the new Worship-Assembly Center north of the Acad- emy. It was the first major building effort since the construction of the fourth floor of the Abbey took place in 1957. Estimated cost of the center was one million dollars. Forty-five faculty members and a number of student leaders conducted a survey of the school in accordance with the North Central Associa- tion of Secondary Schools. It was a total re-evaluation of the school philosophy and ac- ademic program. Through the study the total effectiveness of St. Bede as a cultural and educa- tional institution was measured. These events highlighted the progressive changes that swept over the school during the year. Progress which is a continual movement, helps man better himself and reach the goals he seeks. That movement leads the high school stu- dent onward along the path to his future destina- tion in college and society. 5 8 Studies, Organi- zations Motivate Student Interest 11 13 14 School activities have gained much importance in recent years. Through the efforts of the various organizations, a wide variety of speakers and programs were offered. Guest speakers have lectured about marriage, driver safety, journalism, archaeology, and lasers. Internal activities such as Spirit Day and the construction of the Junior-Senior Lounge were also emphasized. Other programs and activities included a seminar on drugs, a poverty drive and poverty work in Appalachia. All these events and many others gave students a chance to broaden their education and take a forward step along the path of progress to maturity. 407 Register For Eightieth School Year At St. Bede Following the end of summer vacation, stu- dents returned in late August to begin the 1970- 1971 school year at St. Bede. Daystudents, totalling 327, registered during the week before school began. On August 30 eighty boarding students registered, thus beginning their life on campus. Seventy-four freshman daystudents joined just 16 boarders for classes on Monday, August 31. Sophomores, looking forward to days molesting freshmen, numbered 66 daystudents and 20 resi- dents. Ninety-five junior daystudents and 22 boarder counterparts prepared for two years as upperclassmen. Only nine months separated ninety-two senior daystudents and 22 residents from graduation. Students came from five states and four were from other countries. 16 Top: Mr. Jerome Wray gives information to bewildered freshman registrants Mark Plantan and Dennis Miscevic.

Second Annual Spirit Day Once Again Successful Following a week delay due to inclement weather, the St. Bede Student Council held its second annual Spirit Day on Thursday, Sep- tember 17. The object of Spirit Day was to in- still spirit in students and to encourage friendship among students. After the completion of morning classes, pupils gathered in the gym for instructions re- garding the remainder of the day. Mr. Paul Ber- nabei then addressed the student body concerning the meaning of spirit. Led by Brother Philip and Bedan students, the student body sang several songs. Next was the Spirit Day Mass, held this year in the gym due to the threatening weather. Lunch was served on Tower Field. During the afternoon students could play such games as push ball, football, tug-of-war, and soft- ball. Competition was held among the four class- es, with the seniors totalling the greatest number of points, thereby winning this year’s Spirit Day Trophy. Even though the weather may have been gloomy, the student spirit was such that Spirit Day was again termed a success. Far Top: In a Spirit Day baseball game.

The pep rally followed, held at the site of the bonfire, south of the round barn. Students from St. Bede, Hall, and LP performed in this year’s variety show, directed by Father Placid. Saturday ac- tivities ended with the Glow, held by the men’s Club. Sunday, the Bruins trounced Peoria Spalding 60 to 6. Following was a roast beef dinner, spon- sored by the Mother’s Club.

Open House Gives Parents Idea Of Faculty, Classes On Tuesday, September 15, the Mother’s Club held their annual Open House. The purpose of the Open House was to acquaint each parent to his son’s schedule of teachers and classes. Parents first met in the gymnasium and were informed about the evening schedule. Then a mock school day was held in which the parents attended their son’s classes for eight minute periods. As soon as these periods had been completed, parents returned to the gym for refreshments and casual conversation with friends and acquaint- ances. All were very pleased that they had attended this informative evening session.

Representatives of twenty- one major colleges throughout Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio at- tended four sessions held during the after- noon, and explained facets of their colleges to interested juniors and seniors, along with their parents. Juniors and seniors were dismissed from classes on Friday, October 23, to attend the first Career Day held at Hall High School in Spring Valley by the area Chambers of Commerce. Area businessmen, doctors, and employees talked about various careers to students from area schools, and cleared up any confusion the stu- dents might have had about these careers. Lunch was provided by the generous local businessmen. Left: Tom Manning and Mike Filippini page through the sports division of the Creighton University yearbook.

Students made this Christmas journey with two objectives in mind: to assist in poverty work in the hills of northeastern Kentucky, and to gain a sense of poverty conditions. These students par- ticipated in a variety of assignments, as they di- vided into four groups. Some chopped firewood, others worked with residents around their homes, while others performed various types of manual labor. Through their work and the attitudes of the people they met, students were given a com- plete picture of the many aspects of poverty.

Nonetheless, it was the stu- dents that made these clubs effective. Students were given a chance to belong to a new organization as the Spirit Club was added to the extracurricular program. It was the second year in a row that a new organization was created. This group and others provided speakers and programs for the school. All organization’s were active, with the Radio Club and the Gen- esians being the busiest. Through all the organizations efforts they provided students with an inter- esting way to spend their free time.

Student council Attempts To Amend School Dress Code St. Bede’s Student Council again guided school programs and activities efficiently throughout the school year. The new council faced many chal- lenges including conducting the Appalachian Poverty Drive, establishment of the Junior- Senior lounge and an unsuccessful amendment of the current school dress code. An all-senior executive council and the senior representatives led the student body in the estab- lishment of various other activities. Spirit Day and Homecoming were among the other pro- grams sponsored by the council. Besides these events the council was successful in getting area student councils to conduct their own poverty trips to the Appalachian Mountain region. 38 Above: Father Timothy enjoys the informal supper of the Student Council picnic.

Throughout football season the band marched for all home games. One addition to the marching band was a flag corps made up of different colored flags. Upon the completion of the football season, the band readied its Christmas Concert while also playing for all home basketball games. Then came a Winter Concert in late February, fol- lowed by the state solo and ensemble contests in mid-March and the state band and orchestra contest in early April. Also on the agenda was the musical, “Paint Your Wagon,” which was put on for four days during mid-May, in which every band member participated in some way.

It earned the honor for its in-depth reporting, feature stories and photo coverage of all campus activities. Eight members were on the staff that produced the 34 issues of the weekly publication that was read by over 30,000 people in a four city area.

Genesian membership included thirteen students as the organization marked the beginning of its eleventh year. Major performance of the year was the Shake- spearean play “Othello”. Actual production of the play in late March marked the conclusion of three months of auditions, stage work, and prac- tice. The play was held before packed houses.

Radio Club Expands Area Broadcasts On School Programs Yet another organization at St. Bede through the 1970-71 school year was the Radio Club. This club was again made possible through the help of the two area radio stations, WLPO AM and FM, and WGSY FM. These stations broad- casted live over the air not only news features concerning life of both the day students and boarders, guest interviews with various teachers, sport news from the Academy, but also ed- itorials by students and organization members. Credit must be given to all members who par- ticipated in making possible these programs, which were broadcast directly from St. Bede Academy. Only through much effort were these transmissions able to be put on the air. Left: William Boyer, Jack Juricic and Joe Keck make last minute adjustments before going on the air.

Yearbook Staff Studies Techniques At NSPA Workshop An “All American” rating was awarded to the Via Baeda for the seventh consecutive year. Three members of last year’s award winning staff returned to assist five new members in producing the 1971 annual. Emphasis was centered on devloping effective techniques in layout design and copywriting as the staff attended the National Scholastic Press Association convention early in the year. Inex- perience was again a major factor in producing this year’s annual. Although Pat Barry, Jerry Faletti, Dan Pierro, Mike Jalley, and Bob Albani pledged their total efforts into the production of the book. Bill Guenther, John Lesnak, and Scott Lostumo rendered much assistance. Spirit Club Formed To Increase Bedan Interest In Sports For the first time in the history of St. Bede, a Pep Club was formed. Under the direction of Mrs. Tonozzi and the club officers, the club pro- ceeded to undertake many programs. Activities included the building of a float for the Homecoming parade and the sponsoring of pep assemblies during the year. Other activities included the creation of various signs and posters to increase school spirit and enthusiasm. Right: Dan P. Haas and Jim Doherty rush to finish one of the projects used in this year’s Homecoming.

Letterman’s Club Renders Assistance At Various Events Under the guidance of Mr. John Gaughan the St. Bede Letterman’s club continued to offer its assistance in various school activities. Main ob- jective of the club was strengthening relations between students and teachers and the promotion of sports enthusiasm. Members offered their as- sistance as ushers at various athletic events and raised funds for student events.

The first major event planned by the women was the Homecoming dinner. Over two hundred mothers and project chairmen gave their time and efforts in making the fund-raising dinner a success. The Christmas Party was held as an informal seasonal get together for parents of students and faculty members. The annual Spring Card Party and Bazaar was the last major project of the year. It marked the end of another long year of service to the entire community. Dad’s Night and Parent’s Night were two pro- grams sponsored by the Men’s Association this year. This organization also sponsored other activities including an area-wide Coaches Forum, the Spring All-Sports Banquet honoring school athletes and the “Glow” for alumni.

Leadership in the Office and Busi- ness Office changed as a lay prin- cipal and lay business manager were hired by St. Bede for the first time in the history of the school. Rules for the use of the library and other general rules were put into effect as the new administra- tion initiated its program. Five teachers were hired and six new subjects were added to the curri- culum. Extensive reevaluation of the school philosophy and teach- ing program was conducted. These events resulted from the progressive movement through- out the school during 1970-1971.

St. Bede Hires First Layman Business Manager In History As in other departments of the school, the busi- ness office underwent a big transformation for the 1970-71 school year. A major change was the hiring of a layman, Mr. James Ashby as depart- ment head. As administrative head of the department he handled school insurance and was the business manager of the Abbey, purchasing materials needed for both the school and Abbey. Those office personnel who assisted him were Brother Joseph Frederickson, head of the accounting and Father Michael Callahan as- sistant accountant. Mrs. Weber occupied the po- sition of the first receptionist of the school. Her job was to handle telephone calls coming to the Academy and to help in the bookwork of the business office. She also typed requisition orders and assisted the Abbey Press with its bookwork. Left: Mrs. Norma Weber answers the Academy phone calls.

Teachers Acquaint Students With New Math Techniques Under the direction of Father Alfred Scheid- ier, six teachers presented the math program for the school year. All students were required to take two years of math. Over seventy percent of the upperclassmen favored an advanced math course. Presentation of material and methods of teach- ing was first left to the individual teachers. Most employed supplementary materials that were available, such as wall charts, overhead projec- tors and geometric models. Some students from various classes worked on math projects which they entered in the annual St. Bede Academy Science and Math Exhibition held in March. From here they advanced to the regional judging and then to State Finals. Top: Ed Hayes and Mr. Wayne Zebron evaluate a polynomial equation by the use of synthetic division.

Bottom Right: Mr. John Gaughan discusses an assignment with senior Ed Mini. Five courses composed the Social Studies de- partment this year. Through these courses given, students were able to learn about events begin- ning with early annals of history to the current national and worldwide problems of the present. Freshmen were given the opportunity to study Ancient History while sophomores and upper- classmen were offered Modern History. A study of United States History was given to juniors, as senior studied Political Science and Sociology. Various teaching and study techniques were employed by the classes. Student projects and independent study was emphasized. Some teachers featured guest speakers for the classes and others employed movies. Many classes used material from supplementary magazines. All teachers constantly updated their classes. 68 Left: Seniors Chris Cicala and Lyn Wolford study a chart on Stocks and Bonds in Father Henry’s Economics class.

Typical of the new mode of freedom given to English teachers was the trip sponsored by the junior and senior de- partments to see the contemporary play “Hail ’. There was an established program for the de- partment. Freshmen grappled with the problems of advanced grammar usage and basic short story appreciation. All freshman classes were required to study the Shakespearean play “Juluis Caesar”. Sophomores were given an intense course in short story and literature appreciation taking through one Shakespearean play and reading two contemporary novels. Juniors studied the history of American Literature and were introduced to basic creative writing. Seniors studied British Literature and were introduced to an intensified course in basic creative writing. Some teach- ers had classes act out plays and study music. Top: Mr. Ronald Tysseling indicates to freshman Bruce Mattioda the possibility of expanding his paper.

It was divided into four nine week courses and taught by three teachers. The first semester courses dealt with Radiation Science and electricity while the second semester courses covered conservation and space science. Four other courses were included in the Bedan science program. Physical Science was taught to freshmen while Biology was offered to sopho- mores. Upperclassmen were confronted with the task of exploring the field of the atom in Chem- istry and challenging fundamentals of science in Physics. All classes featured guest speakers and spent much time in a laboratory. 72 Top: Pat Barry and Jerry Faletti test the heat resistance ot the filament of a light bulb.

Religion Courses Provide Insight To Current Issues Eighteen different courses were offered to St. Bede sophomores and upperclassmen this year as the religion department updated the program it introduced three years ago. Father Timothy Welsh led the eight teachers who taught the courses. Under the program freshmen were required to take a complete year of religion. Sophomores and upperclassmen were required to take a minimum of two nine week courses. Topics ranged from “Signs of the Times,” “War and Peace” and “Racial Justice” to “Par- ables” and “The Evolving Church.” Each year new courses are added and old ones dropped in order to maintain knowledge of current issues. 74 Top: Father Timothy and Greg Koehler exchange views on an Apocalyptic writing. Bottom: Mike Eiten and Father Herbert review the history of the hierarchial structure of the Church and the Papal powers. Dialogues, Drills Integral Part Of Language Courses St. Bede's language department offered four different languages for the curriculum program this year. Six teachers taught the languages which included German, Spanish, Latin, and French. Techniques employed by teachers were as dif- ferent as the classes themselves. Latin teachers basically employed the use of oral drills. Under- classmen studied basic syntax and Latin history while juniors and seniors studied the writing of Cicero, Livy and Homer. French, German and Spanish teachers em- loyed forms of dialogue and written drills for their students. Members of the class read foreign magazines and kept up with current events in the countries of the language they studied.

This year’s program of- fered Typing, Business and Consumer Economics Bookkeeping and Notehand. Courses were care- fully selected to provide students with funda- mental knowledge of skills needed in a business field. All courses were taught from the beginning of the school year, except notehand, which was a second semester course only. These courses acquainted students, planning to pursue a busi- ness education, with business basics and enabled students to develop skills needed for college. 7op:Bill Hebei checks figures in Bookkeeping class.

Art, Speech, Film, Music Appreciation, and Journalism composed the Fine Arts department. Film-making and Music Appreciation were the two new courses added to the department. Father Roger taught a course in which students learned how to make their own films. Music Ap- preciation was taught by William Liebhart and designed to give students a better understanding of all forms of music. Students studied operas, stage plays, modern music, negro spirituals and the principle high spots and periods of music. Top Left: Paul Potthoff, Gayle Murphy.

Father Andrew Snyder led the five man staff for the eighth straight year. Most evident change was the combining of the former junior college and high school libraries. Under the new system reference books, fiction novels, newspapers, and periodicals were in the main reading room. Theological periodicals and science books were on the second floor. Also class time in the library was limited —underclass- men using fourth period and upperclassmen fifth. Top: John Hartmann studies diligently in the peace and quiet of the library.

Most recent acquisition was a vertical file on occu- pational information which along with college catalogues, a viewdeck and information on finan- cial aid was made available to students. Besides its annual College Day the department encouraged students to attend an area career day sponsored by the Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce. It also invited representatives from colleges as St. Johns, Creighton, and Day- ton to come and talk to the seniors.

Academic Program Offers Vocational Courses To Students For the first time in its history, St. Bede offered vocational courses to its students. This was made possible through the co-operation of the LaSalle- Peru Vocational Center as students were able to attend courses for two hour periods daily. Twelve juniors and seniors enrolled in the pro- gram and participated in five different subjects. Auto Mechanics, Agricultural Mechanics. Draft- ing, Woods and Construction, and Commercial Art were among the courses offered. Students were graded at the center and their grades were transferred to the St. Bede records. 84 Students Develop Physical Abilities Under P.E. Program Man is not a complete person unless he has developed both his mind and body. At St. Bede, students are given a chance to develop their in- tellectual ability through an extensive education on the scholastic level. Students are also given the chance to develop their physical capabilities through the Physical Education department. Athletic participation in activities, not specific exercise, is stressed as students are encouraged to participate in all events. Softball, volleyball, swimming, basketball, football, are all among the wide array of sports offered. Top Right: Dave Mattioda awaits the pitch from Kevin Glubczynski during a P.E. softball game.

Class courses on the rules of the road and proper han- dling and maintenance of motor vehicles were taught for one semester. Upon successful com- pletion of this course sophomores were given a minimum of six behind-the-wheel hours of driving as required by law. State trooper Woods ad- dressed the sophomores on general traffic safety as a helpful supplement to the course.

Brothers, Sisters Provide Invaluable Academy Services Although St. Bede is primarily an educational institution it is also a home for the monks of the St. Bede Abbey and a group of Benedictine Sisters. There are many of these individuals who work behind the scenes unnoticed and help run the school. Many members of the community are involved in various important jobs. Some work in the power house which provides the heat and the electricity for the campus. Other brothers and monks are employed at the Abbey Press. Still others work in the butcher shop or use their tal- ents for other jobs around the school. Cooking and washing for the community is done by the sisters. Services include preparation of meals for the Abbey and also for the students. 89 Right: Mr. Mack Kitten imparts a short quiz concerning genders on his German III class. Bottom: Walt Kotecki and Dennis Murdock examine one of the many specimens in the museum as Father Damian remarks on its size. 90 Additional Teachers Increase Teaching Staff Efficiency St. Bede’s teaching staff was increased to 42 members as seven new teachers were hired for the school year. Three of the seven taught English, one mathematics and one history. Two other teachers were hired at semester break. Their appointments made the student- faculty ratio 19 to 1 and increased the proficiency of the faculty. Under the guidance of Father Damian Milhone the St. Bede Museum was moved to the third floor of the school. Exhibitions included Ameri- can antiques, mounted animals and artifacts.

The evaluation was held in accordance with the North Central Asso- ciation of Secondary Schools and included a thorough study of the educational philosophy and goals of St. Bede. It also included exhaus- tive examinations of actual teaching facilities and techniques. Students and faculty members alike partici- pated in the evaluation. Student representatives worked with teachers in drawing up the state- ment of the school philosophy and in studying the weaknesses and strong points of each educa- tional department. Culmination of the re-evaluation was marked in the middle of February when 30 representa- tives visited St. Bede for three days.

Faculty Workshops Acquaint Teachers With Innovations Three “faculty workshops” were held by the teaching staff the past year. Each workshop was divided into five sessions for group discussions and to listen to guest speakers. Speakers were invited to assist in explaining new techniques in secondary education and their value. Such topics as the difference between Catholic and public schools and innovations of education were considered. Through these workshops the faculty learned ways to treat current problems in education and devise improvements. 95 St. Bede is primarily an educa- tional institution and devotes most of its energies in educating stu- dents. Annually it recognizes those students who have displayed superior achievement and leader- ship on the academic and athletic levels. Honor roll students, semi-final- ists and finalists of the National Merit Test, Illinois State Scholars, Valedictorian, and Saluta- torian are honored. In athletics, awards such as Most Valuable Back, Most Improved Player and Captain are merited by students. All awards, whether scholastic or athletic, indicated the same basic thing— a desire to excel and to share success with others. Freshmen Achieve High Grades From Much Hard Study Freshman accomplishments for the past aca- demic year were not minute. Although they were the smallest class this year, twenty-seven of them achieved the distinction of being listed on the first semester honor roll. Freshman involvement in activities was also noteworthy, as they participated in band, and various extra-curricular activities including drama club, chorus, and sports. Some received athletic awards, being named most valuable player or co-captain by their teammates.

These are the students who show the most intelligence, perseverance, and desire for knowledge in their everyday classes. All classes were honored, and the sophomores were no exception. Seventeen of the eighty-five sophomores received commendation for their high placement on the honor roll. These were the ones who best coped with the pressures of taking more difficult subjects, facing new teachers, and also handling the added responsibilities created by their advancement from the freshman status.

Juniors Withstand Challenge Of More Difficult Classes Even though most juniors were burdened by a schedule of five solids instead of the normal amount of four solids, they still responded to this challenge and many earned grades sufficient to be listed on the Academy honor roll. When one considers that these juniors were posed with the extra responsibilities of upperclassmen, such as deeper involvement in various Student Coun- cil committees, greater participation in prepar- ing Homecoming decorations, and more thought regarding the future, and college, these achieve- ments seem even more noteworthy. In all, twenty-five juniors rated high grades. Some juniors earned praises for excellence in sports, while a few Bedans merited awards for their skill on art projects at a contest sponsored by Carson-Pirie-Scott Co. of Ottawa.

Journalistic And Academic Honors Academic achievement is the result of hard work and dedication on the part of students who merit such honors. Maintaining a B or better point average is not an easy task, yet seniors showed that they were able to face such a challenge. These students have utilized their talents try- ing to meet the challenges that their courses offer. Their desire for competition and challenge has not only given them a good education but, more important, they have learned much about themselves and their capabilities from the many problems they have faced. They have learned to share their talents with others. This regard and others like it that is the true symbol of the pro- gress that they have achieved through their aca- demic endeavors.

Although many students achieved a scholastic average high enough to be placed on the honor roll, the seniors once again received more commendation for their accomplishments. Various seniors received honors, among them being the co-valedictorians for 1971, Robert Al- bani and Richard Weyand. Twenty Bedans rated the privilege of being named Illinois State Scholarship Semi-Finalists. Day student Rich- ard Weyand from Peru was also named a Na- tional Merit Finalist, and William Draper, Barry Jesse, and Thomas Galassi received National Merit Letters of Commendation.

These honors stemmed from a combination of hustle and desire in prac- tice, performance under the pressures of actual game situations, leadership qualities possessed by the athletes, and spirit generated by the indi- viduals to their teammates. Two senior football players received special distinction this year. Jeff Gilligan was named to the Prep All-American Team, and Mike Ostrow- ski was listed on most “All-State” teams. Bottom: Bill Andreoni was named as “Most Valuable for his great attribution at quarterback, while Mark Gedraitis was awarded the Tim McNeeley Red Shirt trophy. Athletics has been an ever in- creasing and important program at St. Bede. Throughout the years St. Bede teams have been noted for their determination and hustle in all events. This year’s baseball, golf, track, and tennis teams were successful in their campaigns all posting win- ning records. Athletic success progressed during the fall as the combined record of the football teams was 18-5-1. Success how- ever was dulled as the cross- country team finished with a losing season. In basketball the teams had their ups and downs; as the varsity had their troubles. No matter what sport event, performances were characterized by St. Bede competitiveness. ATHLETICS 111 112 Bruins Fail To Seize District Title First Time In Eight Years For the first time in eight years, St. Bede failed to capture the district baseball title. Coach Harold Gaffney’s Bruins were eliminated in the first game of the tournament in a 5-1 scoring contest by LaSalle-Peru. Led by senior co-captains Mike Yearly and Dan Mini, the Bruins posted a 16-9 record. The longest winning streak they could sustain ex- tended for seven consecutive games during the middle of the season. After losing their next three games, the Bruins took five of their last six games to close out the campaign. Pitching was the most successful asset to the Bruins attack as Most Valuable Player Bill Liebe led the pitchers with a 7-2 record and a 2.6 Earned Run Average. He also led the Bruin batsmen with a .413 batting average. Other vital hitters were Steve Hull with a .333 average and Ed Mini with a .300 average. Highlights of the season were the 4-0 record against Toluca and 2-0 records against Streator Woodland, Ottawa Marquette, and Rochelle. Top: Steve Hull fields the ball and sets to throw to first.

Top scorers Jeff Gilligan and John Hayden paced the cindermen with 111 and 110 points respectively. Sixteen new records were established by the Bruin performers during the campaign —eight in field events and eight in special events. In special events, five new records were set in the low and high hurdle shuttles, two in the relays and one in the sprint medley. Outstanding performance of the year was a 66-61 victory over arch-rival LaSalle-Peru. Other fine performances were a second place finish at the Bureau County Meet and third place in the Illinois Valley Conference Meet. Goody Toraason and Jerry Faletti were out- standing performers for the team as they set three of the new records in field and running events. Other important runners were Terry Arkins in the 440 and 880 yard runs and the mile relay and Bill Andreoni in the low hurdles and pole vault.

This late season return enabled the Bruin netmen to record their first winning season in two years with an overall record of 7-6. In tour- nament play the Bruins were able to capture second place in the Illinois Valley. Most Valuable Player, Dan Ebener, led the netmen in singles play, compiling an 11-3 record and outscoring his opponents in games won, 153- 88. Bill Schulte and Jim Schumacher, second and third men respectively, contributed to the mo- mentum of the Bruins in both singles and doubles. Other doubles combinations were Murdock- Spoeri and the team of Guardia-Ebener. The latter proving to be the most consistent of the three posting a 7-4 record and defeating their opponents in total games won with a 100-87 record. 118 Top: Bill Schulte slams a return shot during a volley with a L-P opponent.

After winning three of their first five matches, the Bruin golfers then won five in a row for an early season mark of 8-2. Ten underclassmen were on the team but only one played as a varsity regular. The Bruin var- sity golfers averaged 168 strokes per match to their opponents average of 170. Junior-varsity golfers averaged 186 strokes per match and their opponents averaged 187 strokes per match. Best performances for the Bruin golfers were at the St. Bede-LP Invitational and the State District Tournament. In the Invitational the varsity finished fourth out of seventeen teams with a 331 team total. In the State District Tour- nament the Bruins finished second of twelve teams with a 332 team total, five off the pace.

Injuries to key personnel caused the downfall. At one time, three running backs from the opening games’ starting lineup were all side- lined by hobbling injuries, two being out for the season. Despite these problems, the Cubs fought bravely, never admitting defeat, as replacements performed well. Defense was the strong point, as foes were limited to just 72 points, while the Cubs scored 146. Opponents gained 758 yards rushing and 74 aerial yards on 8 of 36 completions, for 22.2%.

Baby Bruins Lose To Ottawa InTitleGame Of Illinois Valley Following two consecutive Illinois Valley Con- ference championships from teams with a com- bined mark of 17-2, St. Bede almost captured a third consecutive freshman crown as the 1970 team easily won their first seven games before bowing to Ottawa 28-8 in Ottawa in the battle of the unbeaten area powers. An explosive all-around attack was the key to this success. The defense was not to be under- estimated either, allowing just 80 points includ- ing two shutouts. St. Bede had twice as many touchdowns as their foes, scoring 176 points. Harriers Post 7-12 Overall Record In Dismal Campaign St. Bede’s harriers had a tough time “putting it all together” during the 1970 season. It was a difficult season for new coach Paul Bernabei and the Bruins as they fell short of victory by only a few points many times. Jerry Faletti was the most valuable runner during the year as he led the Bruins in all meets. Second and third men were Guy Rimmele and Walt Kotecki. Greatest difficulty for the Bruins was finding a consistent fourth man as Paul Draper, Bob Albani and Dave Margherio strug- gled with each other for the position.

Lack of height was the key problem, as the Bedans were forced to shoot from long range, thus making only 40.6% of their shots. The Bruins employed a very tenacious de- fense which held opponents to only 67.8 points per game, forcing numerous turnovers, but the Bruins could manage only 65.6 points a game. At times looking very ragged and often playing tough basketball, the Bruins opened againstKan- kakee Eastridge. Falling behind 19 to 0, the Bedans fought back to take the lead in the fourth quarter only to hit a cold streak and lose. This contest typified the 1970-71 basketball season.

Although the previous year’s standout Ralph Levaccare played in only five games late in the season due to knee surgery, the Cubs scrapped hard, and played in few games where they were defeated by very large margins. Although their tallest man was only 6' 1 , the Cubs employed a tight zone defense to hold down opponents’ point totals. This was impera- tive, as the Cubs possessed very little offensive scoring punch. Highlight of the season was the 51 -49 win over LP, avenging an earlier 73-49 loss.

Freshmen Rebound From Poor Start With 7-13 Record Under the direction of Coach Harold Gaffney, who succeeded Ronald Tyselling as coach at mid- season, the St. Bede freshman basketball team turned a poor season into a fairly decent one. By drilling the team hard on fundamentals. Coach Gaffney brought the Baby Bruins to a state of respectability. Exemplifying this was the late season victory of Princeton by a 52-35 score which avenged an early season 51-38 loss. Amassing 1006 points on the season, the Baby Bruins averaged 50.3 points per game while foes scored at a 57.8 points a game rate. During the last nine games alone, the Bedans outrebounded opponents 292 to 249. Leading scorer was Greg Koehler with 300 points for a 21.4 average. 138 SEASON RECORD St. Bede Opponents 50 44 54 52 38 51 74 86 47 32 63 50 55 74 47 60 38 46 40 73 59 101 51 70 35 46 53 49 62 67 41 35 52 35 38 51 58 64 51 69 Won-7 Lost-13 Top Left: Joel Keutzer (32) takes a short jumper despite the efforts of L.P.’s Denny Trompeter (53).

Seventeen freshman boarders were introduced to St. Bede two days later, as they arrived at their new home. First major task for the freshmen was getting their yearbook pictures taken as they began to familiarize themselves with school. Student Council elections were their greatest decision as they elected three students to represent them. Freshmen played a major part in all extra cur- icular activities. They were especially helpful in homecoming as they helped the senior resi- dents prepare the preliminary bonfire.

They were the smallest class with eighty- five students. Freed from the pressure and bewilderment that they had faced as freshman, and not yet ex- posed to the problems of college entrance exam- inations that confronted upperclassmen, they were able to perform many vital contributions for the school. Much time and effort was dis- played by the sophomore boarders in preparing the football field for Homecoming as they built an image of a bruin football player under the scoreboard and decorated the goalposts.

They became involved in all activities from assemblies and dances to Student Council, semester exams and college placement tests. In athletics they were a great help as six players earned starting positions on the football team and others saw considerable action. Juniors helped set up the guidelines for the newly established and controversial Senior- Junior Lounge. For the first time, they were al- lowed to use the lounge, a privilege given only to the seniors. However, a restriction on entrance to the lounge was set up for the juniors as they had to make the honor roll or merit roll. Although the juniors still had one year of high school to complete they were faced with the important responsibility of preparing for their college acceptance. College Day, the PSAT and ACT college entrance examinations kept them wary of the nearby future. College expectations and other extra responsibilities made the third year more difficult.

Upperclassmen reside in rooms of two or three students. Juniors live on the second floor while seniors occupy the area behind the swinging doors on the ground floor. This year, sophomores moved their residence to the fourth floor as freshmen remained in the old sophomore dorm. Although much time is spent studying and participating in athletics, borders spend free time playing cards or ping- pong, watching television, or just having fun.

College entrance requirements kept the seniors busy, while par- ticipation in athletics and extra- curricular organizations rounded out many a senior’s schedule. An all-senior Executive Coun- cil coordinated council activities and directed the establishment of the new Junior-Senior Lounge and a move to change the dress code. Seniors also played an important role in the annual Appalachian Poverty Drive. Whether it was academics or activities, the seniors led the way progressing toward a succesful life after graduation. 159 Dean Abney Guillermo Aguilar Gary Ajster Robert Albani Scott Alger William Andreoni Terrance Arkins Patrick Barry Thomas Bergandi Senior boarder Rick Small checks an article in the sports section of the daily paper, which reported the result of the St. Bede homecoming game.

It is usually typfied by great in- volvement in all academic and extracurricular activities. This year’s senior class was no ex- ception as they were leaders in all activities from athletics and Homecoming to Spirit Day and Student Council programs. Homecoming preparations were engineered and directed by the senior class as six projects were led by senior chairmen. Numerous other seniors were involved in construction of the projects. They also led the student body in Spirit Day activities, winning the trophy for class spirit and school enthusiasm. Many were involved in extra-curricular activi- ties. Some served as student advisers for the evaluation of school academic programs. Other seniors helped to plan and conduct the third an- nual Poverty Drive. Student Council affected the lives of many seniors as it established the rules of the controversial Senior-Junior lounge.

Revenue for the yearbook has been supplied in and through advertisements by local merchants and by individual donations of patrons. Although the cost of producing a yearbook has risen considerably in the past few years, the gener- osity of supporters has increased also. Their donations have en- abled Via Baeda to grow and ex- pand. Cooperation between the staff, publisher, and the endorse- ment by all new and old patrons have enabled the Via Baeda to again be an “All American.” ADVERTISEMENTS La Salle State Bank La Salle, Illinois Member of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Federal Reserve System 174 S.

In a modernization project each move is studied and charted, in advance, with the result that the actual work proceeds smoothly to completion with little or no inter- ruption of production. Eichlcay pre-planning has saved industry countless headaches and thousands of manhours of production. On a new construction project pre-planning is just as vital to the success of the installation as is the scheduling of a production outage. A construction program involving new equipment is planned for efficiencies and economies, as well as, speed. If you arc contemplating any minor or major construction project, wherever located, contact Eichlcay for its services. EICHLEAY CORPORATION General Offices 33 S. 19th Street, Pittsburgh 3, Pa.

Its true measure, however, is not how much glory has been attained but how much each person has grown and learned to accept each other in their everyday lives. As the year moved forward, the staff progressed with it. Efficient methods and fresh ideas by members, the staff moderator and the publisher enabled the book to move from the realm of possi- bility to that of reality. At this time our appreciation is ex- tended to the patrons and advertisers whose generosity helped us to meet financial liabilities. Many thanks are also given to Root Studios, Mr. Charles Maz- zuchelli and Father Raymond. In conclu- sion the 1971 Via Baeda staff hopes the book has been an accurate portrayal of the people that are a part of St. Bede. � . Ml
