JOHN P. BRADLEY Since becoming president of Belmont Abbey College in 1970. Fr. Bradley has been the architect of numerous significent changes. Prominent among the changes are the following: the College charter has been amended to include a majority of lay men and women Benedictine monks; the College has become fully co-educational and enroll- ment has increased; the College ' s relation with the local community has become closer; and a number of physical improvements have been completed. For these and many other reasons we would like to take this time to dedicate the 1977-78 Spire to Father Brad- ley. THE MANY FA CES OF FA THER BRADLEY — - SENIORS ■■■ Dick J. Bedaood Michaele L.

Under the guidance of Coach Kennedy and the experience of the returning players the team prepared for an extremely challenging season , but successfully conquered their opponents. Coach Kennedy and the players are enthusiastic about next year and with so much returning talent, the Crusaders can once again look forward to another winning season.  J 28 FOR GOD. . .
