Heracklis BHsities.t Manager REVEILLE. 53071 FDREWDRD Peace at last! and Abbey settles down to normal routine and the traditional spirit. Four years of war brought many changes but the spirit is still the same. A new era is a-borning and the bright vi.stas of the future beckon. Old faces are again to be seen in their wonted places, young Abbeymen are enriched by contact with, and the experiences of, veterans from far-flung battlefields. To catch this spirit, this first year of peace, so that we may look back and see classmates, pals, friends — Abbeymen all ! That is the motif of this 1946 Spire.

GRADUATES Page Tivenlu-nne COLLEGE Frater Francis B. Berry, O.S.B. Belmont Abbey As nne in suffri-iny all, that silffeis nothing A high marker but a quiet and calm monk, Fr. Francis seems to belong especially to his monastic retreat. In the fall he ' s right on the spot training the Ramblers for victory. Also, his congenial man- ner fits in well for those unfoi-gettable out-of-class discussions that he always wins. Ambrose W. Cloninger, Jr. Bessemer City, N. C. Amby Here dwells no frown nor anger Ambi-ose has a quite unassuming nature but active withal. Here is a case of Still waters run deep . Bessemer City is too small for Amby, and, outside of the hunting season, he will prepare for Pharmacy. James 0. Heracklis Gastonia, N. C. Herky He and his monstrous rout are heard to howl A photographic genius, Herky is never seen with- out his camera. Active in campus programs, he was the right hand man of Boyer, and as Business Manager of Spire he made it financially possible to publish this book. The business world is just waiting for him. William D. Kirk Charlotte, N. C. Bill Amltitinn shntild he made of sterner stuff Six years at the Abbey has made Bill a typical Abbeyman — student, athlete, gentleman. Ambitious for the better things of life, he will continue at either Notre Dame or Duke, in Business. GRADUATES FRATER DAMIAN J. MULDOWNEY, O.S.B. Belmont Abbey 7 0 walk the sUidioyis cloisters pale Always a smile, always a kind word; always busy, never ruffled. And Father is a musician too. His most striking: characteristic is the sincereness of his voice; running this a close second is his superb but rare humor. James W. Stewart Belmont, N. C. Casanova What arc the bugles hloivivg for _ Living in a world his own, sometimes oblivious of the distractions aroud him, Wilson is, neverthe- less, ambitious, optimistic, and has definite ideas of his future. He will succeed! Frater Thomas W. Stumpf, O.S.B. Belmont Abbey ' Forgive mc this, my virtue Here is an individual whom everybody loves; you can ' t help but like him. More on the scientific side and typically studious, Fr. Thomas nevertheless has a great touch of humor. Also a great sports- man. Rather all round, but it ' s Father Thomas!

John W. Maloney, Jr. Charleston, S. C. Bill Jest, and yonihfnl jollity That he is from Charleston is enough to describe Bill, but his popularity is deserved.
