MAURICE R. ALLAIRE, A.A., ACTING DEAN OF STUDIES In his first year as Dean of Studies, he did a tremendous job in helping each of us take another big step in educa¬ tion. He was always willing to discuss the student ' s problems with him, and his advice was welcomed and respected by all. His great understanding of youth created an atmosphere of friendliness which always helped us to feel relaxed in his presence. As Dean he was very good; as a friend he was even better. He took an avid interest in student activities, knowing very well that the complete man is composed of a sound mind in a sound body. We are indeed lucky to have had such a man to guide us. PHILIP E. BONVOULOIR, A.A., DEAN OF STUDENTS As Dean of Students, he taught us the value of discipline in our lives. He was indeed the student ' s friend, always ready to help a student with a problem, no matter what it concerned. Later on in life when we look back on the years we spent at Assump¬ tion, we will thank him for greatly hastening our formation. He was a strict but understanding discip¬ linarian. We all remember the numerous privileges he granted us. As moderator of alhletics, he did much to encourage our participation in sports. Rest assured he will not be forgotten by any of us.
