A N-m W sa if 3 ,wiki f tk St. Bede Academy continued to strive toward establishing a better school for educating young people. lt again endeavored to improve educa- tional facilities and means for teach- ing and disciplining in the Christian manner of the Benedictine monks. Principal Jerome Wray directed the school for his second straight year. In January he received his Ph.D. in Ad- ministration from Loyola University of Chicago. Three new teachers were hired, one of which was the new bas- ketball coach, Paul Brungardt. In keeping with the school's newly founded motto, Respect for each and every man and woman is a value being sought at St. Bede, the monastic community on December21 voted that the school would be co-educational for the year 1972-73. This vote by the monks followed the approval of the same measure by the Academy's eight man board of education. Projected enrollment fig- ures for next year's freshman class rose to 150, an increase of 70 fresh- man students alone. Another new facet of the school toward its improvement was the con- version tothe modular type of sched- uling. By using sixteen modules in the school day, twenty-one minutes each, teachers could vary the lengths of their respective classes. Bids were accepted in lVlarch for the construction of the new Worship- Assembly Center. This complex was to be built directly north of the monas- tery. Plans called for a catwalk span- ning the road between the abbey and worship building. These developments were just highlights of events which occurred this year at St. Bede toward establish- ing a more suitable school for better educating the youth of today. 5 6 glgi g -F' no u l Fi 15 -i gg ll M L . li QS 5 2 u Rurol Beoury And Colorful Splendor Surround ST.

These activities. assemblies and other, have served to make Bedans better aware of current world events. During the past year, guest speakers lectured against the war in Vietnam, and about driver safety, other countries, and ed- ucational developments. Other pertinent activities included trips by students to aid the poor in Appalachia, plus a poverty drive for those same people. Begun this year was the an- nual fund drive, which served to make up the great loss St. Bede suffers yearly in providing five hundred dollars in educating each student, plus to pay for ris- ing salaries of teachers.

This decision was based upon many factors, not the least of which vvas the prospect of a Catholic education for young ladies. lt was felt that the girls of the area should no longer be deprived of this opportunity. St. Bede also took steps toward the Worship Assembly Building, a modern, multi-purpose facility. The envisioned project was termed a breakthrough in the economical use of space.

These clubs served to meet stu- dent needs for activities, plus for enjoyment, in that they en- abled Bedans to gain a sense of involvement in life at St. Bede. One of the more important or- ganizations was the Student Government, since it served to give students a voice in affairs at St. Bede. Council sponsored activities included Homecom- ing, the Poverty Drive, plus a proposal to establish a student coffeehouse. Other organizations were also very active. The Via Baeda staff produced the Bedan annual. lvlembers of the Bedan Bruit worked to produce their weekly edition, appearing in the Teen Trib. Band and Vocal members produced two concerts plus staged a musical. All these con- tributed tothe students' aware- ness of St. Bede life. Student Government Members Seek Vote Cn Boorcl Meosures Under the leadership of Presi- dent John O'l-lalloran the Student Government vvas active during this school year.

The conversion was made to the modular system of scheduling which alloted extra time toward laboratory periods and group lectures. Curriculumunderwentchange especially in the English depart- ment, in which numerous courses were offered, classified by literature and writing cate- gories. Teachers instructed in their own specialties, students took one class from each cate- gory. A resource center was de- veloped which was used by stu- dents for research on papers in English and Social Studies. lVlinicourses, also introduced, gave students opportunities to become educated in a variety of fields ranging from bridge to skin-diving. These classes, one semester in length, were held on a pass-fail system. Nlinicourses, Modular Scheduling illustrate Academic Changes Under the able direction of Abbot David Duncan, OSB., St. Bede went through a year of change. The Acad- emy took on a new look, not only in curriculum, lout also in the monastic community, as was shown by its an- nouncement for coeducation. In his second year as principal, Mr. Jerome Wray completed studies for his Doctorate in administration, which he received from Loyola Uni- versity of Chicago in January. Mr. John Gaughan continued as Assistant Principal and Dean of Men, while also teaching several classes. Fr. Stephen Souse remained in charge of files as assistant registrar.

Alfred Scheidler Resumes Functions of Ticket Mdndger Greatest change in the business office for the school year 1971-72 was the reinstatement of Father Al- fred Scheidler as ticket manager after one year of absence from that job. Another new face in that depart- ment was Father Hugh Crowe, who acted as assistant accountant. Mr. James Ashby remained as head of the business office, serving as business manager for the Abbey. Brother Joseph Frederickson con- tinued to work as head of account- ing, while Mrs. Norma Weber was receptionist, ,answering phone calls and helping with bookwork. 61 Firsr Ldy Womdn Hired As Full-Time Assisldnr Librdridn Father Andrew Snyder entered his ninth year as head of the library and made it a successful one. With the help of the newly hired assistant librarian, Mrs. Barbara Teevans, he was able to set the library into a much better state of order. New books of wide variety, magazines, newspapers, and other sources of information made the li- brary a good place for research. Top: Rich Truskoski finishes his English project. Guidonce Deporimeni Serves To Aid Bruins In Choosing Colleges Although not a part of St. Bede's curriculum, the Guidance Depart- ment served as a vital cog in its edu- cation process.

With the addition of courses in mod- ern literature, such as on novels and drama, the school attempted to offer a wide choice of varied and interest- ing topics. Realizing also the need for solid backgrounds in all forms of writing, the English department continued to instruct the students in the basic forms of rhetoric, with creative, ana- lytical, and essay writings.

Two of these courses were required to loe taken by all stu- dents-Ancient History loy freshmen and U.S. History by juniors. Five other classes were offered as electives to round out student schedules. These included Modern History, Sociology, Psychology, Po- litical Theory, and Economics. In all these classes, modern tech- niques of teaching were employed. Students used library resources for themes and often studied indepen- dently for oral reports. Visual aids, such as films, helped to maintain student interest and attention. Right: Father Theodore tries to answer the query of a perplexed Ancient History student.

Language instruc- tion had as its goal not only the devel- opment of abilities to express ideas in a foreign tongue, but also to broad- en the student's cultural background. In the modern language courses the oral aspect was stressed. Teach- ers employed dialogues and written drills, augmented by records and for- eign magazines in order to help stu- dents learn their respective lan- guages. This method helped stu- dents to learn as native speakers. Top: Alex Huenenburg, German teacher, answers a ques- tion from freshman Thomas Kuffel.

This year was similar. Directing the department, Father l-larold fostered an aid to the stu- dents, loy exemplifying the various aspects of Christianity. A total of thirteen courses were offered. Underclassmen were restricted somewhat in their choices. Freshmen were required to take the Acts of the Apostles. Christian Sexuality was of- fered to Sophomores. Upperclassmen chose electives ranging from War and Peace to Dating and Marriage. Such areas of study illustrated the Christian reaction to those various situations.

Bede's Existence Dependent On Work Of Brothers, Sisters St. Bede has existed to educate its students to their fullest potential. But its existence has depended on the monks of the St. Bede Abbey and the Carmelite Sisters. Many of the members worked be- hind the scenes and were involved in various important jobs. Some helped supply the school with! heat and electricity in the power house. Others were employed by the Abbey Press. With the change of the refectory to a cafeteria, the sisters not only cooked the meals, but assisted in serving them to the students.

Offensively, the Bruins domin- ated their opponents, rushing for 2784 yards and gaining 3627 total yards. The explosive Bedan offense scored 376 points, a 41.8 average. Opponents could managejust 5.3 points a game against the Bruin de- fense. lt yielded only 167.8 total yards per game, intercepting fifteen passes and recovering 10 fumbles. Highlighting the season vvas the 26-6 pounding of rival LaSalle-Peru. Post-season bestovvals included the naming to the All-State team of Jack Verucchi and Rich Koehler, plus Dave Ostrovvski. Others were Mike Gaughan, Ed Jasper, and Dan Kopina. 114 Top Right: St. Bede's All-State backfield, Rich Koehler and Jack Verucchi, who both rushed for more than 1000 yards, confer during a respite on the sideline.

Only ten yards pre vented the Cubs from a perfect season, as the loss to Peoria Manual ended with the ball that dis- tance from their opponent's goal line. Defensive play was the key to the fine record as the Cubs allowed just 36 points to be scored all year, a 4.5 average. Five times the Cubs held their foes scoreless, and four of these games were in succession. On offense the Cubs displayed a potent attack, led by the running of Mark Stuart and passing of Greg Koehler. The Cubs scored 190 points. Bill VanDaele and Wayne Kenney served as co-captains.

The offense was inconsistent, scor- ing 60 of the 82 points in their two victories. Oftentimes penalties and turnovers hurt chances for winning. Mark Klein and Loren Underhill were leading scorers, each compiling 20 points. Dave Carruthers vvas se- lected Most Valuable Player and Tom Ptak was chosen honorary captain.

Fresh- men were forced to adapt to new conditions and become ac- quainted with nameless faces upon their arrival at St. Bede, and did so, in becoming an in- tegral part of the school. Sophomores gained added power during their second year at St. Bede. They displayed a desire for success, shown by fine football and basketball sea- sons. Juniors possessed a voice in student affairs as they were represented on the Board of the Student government. Overall, St. Bede Academy could not exist without its under- classmen. These students ad- vance year by year to the ultimate level of importance, that of the senior. 4 X Patrick Connor Ronald Day Michael Decker Stephen Dedlich Dennis Domkuski James Dority Lawrence Albani Benet Anderson Richard Aplington Robert Baima Lawrence Barcani David Barra James Barth Robert Bastian Vincent Brolley Joseph Brooks-Miller William Brown Terry Byrnes Thomas Carr David Carruthers Gregory Ceresa Thomas Comiskey Orientotion Gives Freshmen View Gt Closses, Students Upon the start of the new school year, eighty-seven new freshmen de- scended upon St. Eiede. These ear- lings were forced to quickly djust to high school life in general plus the added problem of the recently estalo- Iishedlmodular system which beset all Bedan students. By participating in fall sports, toothfootloall and cross-country, the Class of '75 became a part of the Bruin spirit and unity. Student gov- ernment representatives were elected in late October, giving the minims a voice in student affairs.

First of all, they were confronted with the new modular system, plus the added responsibility of being upperclassmen, which entailed more participation and leadership in school activities. Thejuniors also found aca- demic requirements more demand- ing than in previous years. Besides their scholastic achieve- ments, thejuniors also performed ad- mirably on the athletic fields, while earning many varsity letters. nr pv 2 if ,, : Stephen Crowe Thomas Curry Mauricio Dada Daniel Daley Paul Draper John Ebener V' I Daniel Ellerbmck In the quiet of the art room Clinton Elmore Alan Wright studies the Jon Feeney graceful lines of his subject Terrence Ferrari Patrick Gaughan Charles Gentry George Glogowski Louis Guerrini Michael Harmon Mark Janko Alex Jasinski Chris Kapacinskas John Kastigar Lawrence Kohr William Kramkowski Richard Ksiazkiewicz Patrick O'Rourke David O'Sadnick David Ostrowski Richard Peterson Anthony Petritz James Porter Drew Potthoff James Potthoff 44 Michael Kubera Kevin Kunkel James Ladgenski Daniel Leszcynski Ralph Levaccare Patrick Leydon Barry Lynch Michael McCook L Matthew Manijak l V Timothy Martin 'Q ' g QI Rodwick Morris ' M b Michael Muzzarelli na' Edward Niewinski 4 Michael Noonan William Oklesen ll 3 ref i as Nr' 1, . ,W -..-,it QW- VNXH 1- 0 !1,x1 ',',.W Q,-jf. 1-.1.l..X it UN ' Ks' y ,uw N mv - --ms' nv my 'QQ ,xv i yv i M dxf I 'B Mike Kubera greets his dad, Mr. Charles Kubera, during Dad's Night Q!

GRADUATES In comprising the eightieth graduating class at St. Bede Academy, this year's seniors strove toward leaving a name and reputation for themselves behind at St. Bede. This they did by showing qualities of lead- ership to underclassmen in class, in athletics, and in stu- dent activities. Demonstrating athletic prow- ess, the seniors on this year's football team were instrumental in posting eight wins. Overall these gridders posted a 37-2-1 record while at St. Bede.Twenty- two seniors were named lllinois State Scholars, and four rated Merit Letters of Commendation. Senior chairmen supervised projects throughout the year such as Homecoming, the an- nual Poverty Drive, the Prom, and the arrangements for a rock concert. Seniors also directed affairs on the executive Board of the Student Government. 14 James Andreoni James Arsenault John Bayne Raymond Beggs Marc Bernabei Paul Biccochi William Boyer Thomas Broset Theodore Camenisch Seniors Ed Jasper, John O Halloran, and John Diemer study for a test in the lounge. S-.. Senior Leoclership Produces Successful Homecoming Week Returning to St. Bede after sum- mer vacation, the senior class looked joyfully forward to their final year in high school. Along with the lofty status of being seniors, with the added privileges, such as the lounge and early departure from school, came additional responsibilities. Seniors were expected to provide leadership for underclassmen. This quality they showed in supervising the Homecoming plans, plus helping to build, pomp, and set up the many decorations around the school. Another major problem that beset seniors concerned college. Many seniors Worried while colleges pro- cessed their application forms.

This is the case of the Via Baeda, which must gain funds by printing advertise- ments. Since money gained from sub- scriptions pays only a portion of the cost of producing an an- nual, without the generous sup- port of the advertising patrons the Via Baeda could not be pub- lished. Even though costs of producing the yearbook have risen due to the use of advanced techniques, local merchants have continually increased their support in a like manner.

CONSTR uc'noN i VERSATlLl'l'Yi SPEED' ECONUMY ABILITYIA EXPERIENCE ' ACCURACY Eighty-One Years of Experience. . EichIeay's success in the handling of modernization of old, and construction of new projects, is due largely to careful, painstaking planning. 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. Eichleay 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 are contemplating any minor or major construction project, wherever located, contact Eichleay for its services. EICI-ILEAY CORPORATION General Offices 33 S. 19th Street, Pittsburgh 3, Pa.

Long nights of hard work by the editors suddenly seem worthwhile as the finished product illustrates. Staff members employed new techniques during the year in trying to achieve a better yearbook. Know- ledge gained at the National Scholastic Press Association's annual convention proved useful drawing layouts and fit- ting copy. The staff would first like to thank those advertisers, whose patronage aided in meeting costs of publication. We would also like to express our grati- tude to Root Studios of Chicago and lVlr. Charles lVlazzuchelli. Special thanks are given toJerome Urbanowski and Steve Crowe, who de- signed the cover jointly, and to Steve lVlignone for his matching drawing which appears on the division pages. ln closing, we, the staff, hope the Via Baeda has accurately displayed Bedan unity and life in general at St. Bede. ma' .JPY 205
