At age fifty-eight, John Paul II is the youngest pope to be elected in over a hundred years, and also has the distinction of being the first non-Italian pope since 1522. Pope lohn Paul II began his priestly studies in 1943 in an underground seminary during the time of the German occupation of Poland and was ordained four years later in 1946. He gained recognition for his hard work and contributions to the church and was designated Archbishop of Crakow in 1962. After achieving international prominence at the Second Vatican Council his popularity increased and finally led to his present position as head of the Roman Catholic Church. In 1979 the United States was honored by a seven day visit from the pope during which he visited a number of cities. Catholics and non- Catholics alike traveled hundreds of miles to view the newly elected pope and make him welcome. Among those travelers were twenty-two Abbey students who went to Washington, D.C., October 7, 1979 to see him. His messages to the youth of the United States were particularly welcomed and in his special message to the Youth of American at Madison Square Garden Pope John Paul II said When you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ who is the fullness of humanity. As a Catholic institution, therefore, we are proud to include Pope John Paul ll ' s picture in the hope that it will serve as an inspiration to the stu- dents and friends of Belmont Abbey College through the years. Pope |ohn Paul II Abbot Peter Stragand was elected to his present position in Belmont Abbey Monastery in November of 1978. Abbot Peter has served his con- stituency at Belmont Abbey in the roles of student, professor and monk. That he served and serves well was acknowledged by his election as Ab- bot only nine years after his ordination. In 1961-62 Abbot Peter attended Belmont Abbey College for a year and a half and then transferred to Illinois Benedictine College at Lisle, III., where he graduated majoring in mathematics. Returning to the Abbey in 1965 he joined the seminary and in the fall began teaching in the Mathematics Department. Fr. Peter remained at Belmont Abbey College until the Spring of 1968 when the seminary was closed and he transferred to SI. Vincent ' s Arch Abbey in Pennsylvania to complete his spiritual training. One year later he returned to North Carolina where he was ordained a priest in May of 1969 at the Belmont Abbey Cathedral. Thereafter he continued his studies at Chapel Hill and from there received his Masters Degree in Mathematics. Fr. Peter has been recognized for his talent and hard work by the members of the monastery and his contributions have led to his position as Abbot of Belmont Abbey Monastery and spiritual leader of Belmont Abbey College.

SUCCESSION OF ABBOTS Abbot Leo Haid, 1885 Abbot Vincent Taylor, 1924 Abbot Walter Coggin, 1959 Abbot Edmund McCaffery, 1970 Abbot Jude Cleary, 1975 Abbot Peter Stragand, 1978 ABBEY In the fall of 1872, the Reverend Jeremiah J. O ' Connell purchased the Caldwell Plantation In Gaston County. He gave the land to the Diocese of Richmond in 1875, which in turn gave it to the Benedictine Monks of St Vincent ' s Abbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. On January 19, 1876, the monastic community of St. Vincent ' s voted in favor of accepting the land for the purpose of building a college. Fr. Herman Wolf and two boys from Richmond, the first two Ab- bev students, arrived at the planta- tion on April 21, 1876, since designated as Founder ' s Day . The name of the pl antation was then changed to Maria Stein . On the 25th of April, five lay brothers arrived from St Vincents and the work began. In the fall of 1876, in a log cabin built by four students, the two from Richmond plus two from Charlotte, the first classes were held. The of- ficial opening of St Mary ' s College took place In September of 1878. By the next year the enrollment had increased to thirtv-nlne stu- dents. On Bastille Day of 1885, the Reverend Leo Haid was elected the first Abbot For the next fifteen years, the college and the Abbey both grew so that by 1900 there were fifty-nine in the monastic community and 120 students. On May 19, 1900, a fire broke out in the new west wing of the college. A mass was hurriedly said in the Abbey Church with all vest- ments and chalices packed for a speedy removal. However, during the sacrifice of the Mass the wind changed and the rest of the college was spared. Through much hard work, a new building was up before the end of the year. In 1906, St Leo ' s Hall was begun. The name Belmont Abbey College was decided upon for the Institution and on Thanksgiving Day, 1913, it was offlciallv changed from St. Mary ' s College to Belmont Abbey College. Abbot Vincent Taylor became the second Abbot of Belmont Ab- bey on August 20, 1924, shortly af- ter the death of Abbot Leo Haid Abbot Vincent supported the academic program, and launched a program of higher learningfor the teachers at the college. The old sub-academic studies and the old rules were dropped in favor of newer, more liberal ideas and a junior college was established. During 1929 and 1930, an athletic field was graded and the most modern design in athletic building for its time was construc- ted, the Leo Haid Gymnasium. The ground floor of St. Leo ' s, which had formerly been the gymnasium, was converted into a library of some 30,000 volumes in 1930. The books were gathered from the monastery, and die new facility was staffed by ., HISTORY mmw 9 , rr v ei FTI « P S M ■ young Benedictine monks. Belmont Abbev College was ad- mitted into the Southern Associa- tion in 1936, the same year that Father Cuthbert Allen was appoin- ted rector of the school. Fr. Cuthbert maintained his dis- tinguished association with the college until his death in 1978. In 1952, under the leadership of Ab- bot Vincent Taylor as president, the Abbey was reorganized as a senior college. The fact that Belmont Abbey is a small, liberal arts college did not exclude it from the changing times. The 60 ' s was a period of confusion including the burning of draft cards, the Viet Nam War, and the civil rights movement. In May of 1969, six Abbey students belong- ing to the Black Student Union, staged a civil rights protest by seiz- ing the Science Building. The 60 ' s also Included the 1965 renovation of the Abbey Cathedral and the institution of a major con- struction campaign on the campus. This began with the building of the Abbot Vincent Taylor Library, which was opened for use in 1958. O ' Connell dorm was built In 1962, and was followed by the construc- tion of Poellath Dorm and Maurus Dining Hall in 1963. 1967 marked the completion of the Raphael Arthur Dormitory and the William Gaston Science Hall was opened for use in 1968. That stage of ex- pansion was completed with the construction of the Wheeler Center for Physical Education in 1970. Changes did not just pertain to the students and campus physical plant In 1970 Fr. Bradley became the first secular priest to hold the presidential office at the college and under his direction in 1972 Belmont Abbey College underwent its most dramatic change by becoming a co-educational college. O ' Connell dormitory was restruc- tured during the summer to facilitate women. There were 59 women Bring on campus and 45 commuting the first year. The enrollment of women has since in- creased to the present total of 286. 1976 brought Belmont Abbey College into its centennial year. The monastery was remodeled, and plans were laid for the renovation of many other buildings. Other changes in the centennial year in- cluded the secularization of the Board of Trustees, as well as the gradual institution of visitation privileges in the dormitories. In 1979 Fr. Tobin became the new president of the college. Like Fr. Bradley, he is not a Benedictine monk, yet both have brought many progressive changes to Belmont Abbey College. These recent changes coupled with those of the past decade, have encouraged the growth of Belmont Abbey from its humble beginnings in 1876 through its increasingly complex years since 1952 as a senior college to the present Belmont Ab- bey College now looks Into a problematical future with expec- tancy, hope, enthusiasm, and an unshakeable trust in the goodness of God. RAI ■-- IS A NONO FACULTY SECTION EDITOR Christopher Russell 1 -r X • . ' Jf ■ ■■ ' ■■ l i „ ., «, t ■J i •-• S f. ' H c 1 ■ |C Fr. Neil W. Tobin The Very Reverend Provost John P. Bradley was fortunate enough to be born a Scotsman and has brought to Belmont Abbey College a truly delightful Scotch sense of humor in addition to his eruditeness. Fr. Bradley received his S.T.B. in 1940 and was ordained in 1944 at St. Peter ' s College in Scotland. He attended Collegio Scozzesi in Rome and later recieved his B.A. and M.A. at Oxford. Fr. Bradley came to Belmont Ab- bey in 19S2 to teach classics and phyiosophy, and later left the Abbey to take up duties with Goodwill Publishers in Castonia and then as an editor with Doubleday Publishing Company. He specialized in theological books there, returning in 1970 at the request of Abbot Ed- mund McCaffrey to accept the presidency of Belmont Abbey College. Fr. Bradley held this office for eight exciting years, and then became the Provost, a position which he presently holds with great distinction. Among his achievements as president were the establishment of a co- educational curriculum for the Abbey in 1975, and the reorganization of the Board of Trustees in 1976. The Board, originally eight monks, thereaf- ter was expanded to include a more diverse group of individuals from the local area. By introducing businessmen and other leaders of the community the Abbey thus introduced new ideas from the public sector resulting in the improvement of the school ' s overall interests and prospects. Fr. John Bradley feels that through the achievements of its students and the prestige that the college has gained for itself the Abbey will ex- tend its public recognition much more broadly. As a result of strong school pride and school spirit and academic excellence he hopes that the Abbey will receive the funds and attract the philanthropy needed to meet the costs of further developement. Thank you, Fr. Bradley, for your continuing dedication to Belmont Ab- bey College and its future. Ad multos annos! The Very Reverend Fr. Neil W. Tobin was born on July 14, 1932 in Worthington, Iowa. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree at Loras College in 1954, later earning the S.T.B. and S.T.L. at Gregorian University in Rome, and the M.A. and PhD. at Fordham University. Fr. Tobin accepted the Presidency of Belmont Abbey College on |une 1, 1978. Soon after his arrival Fr. Tobin initiated a number of improve- ments. Included was the re-evaluation of the freshman curriculum to provide students with a more effective background in communication skills, the humanities, the sciences, and mathematics. A newsletter Around the Campus was circulated on a weekly basis to improve the exchange of information and campus communication. In addition the preliminary renovation of St. Leo ' s was begun, new furniture was purchased for the dormitory lounges, and two computer systems for the Business and Data Processing departments were added. Fr. Tobin plans to continue renovation of the physical plant by com- pletely overhauling the second floor of the Adminstration Building and the third floor of St. Leo ' s. He is also making plans for a new addition to the cafeteria, Maurus Hall, and the initiation of a new capital fund drive to raise the additional monies needed for all these improvements. Not only is Fr. Tobin interested in the interior and exterior of buildings, but he is also interested in the grounds and general landscap- ing. Clear it is then that Fr. Neil Tobin is extremely well rounded in his in- terests in Belmont Abbey College and the future looks bright both for the Abbey and its new President. Ad multos annosl Fr. John P.

This is the 27th year of WABY ' s ex- istence. It started out as a club, and then with donations from different radio atations in the area, was able to formulate a real radio station. With the support of the Ad- ministration and the student body over the years. Abbey Radio has enjoyed much success, and many of the staff members of WABY have pursued many different careers in the field of broadcasting. Broad- casting an average of seven hours a day, WABY involves a number of students that freely give of their time to provide good radio entertainment to the students of BAC and the surrounding community while broadcasting on WCGC. The general staff members are John Boyer, Chris Jackson, Angela Kollar, Jeff Luckenbach, Kevin McKane, Joe Pandolfo, Laura Perucci, Chuck Somma, Donald Stankus, Ralph Suarez. i 1 Li X % jm JL • j J 1 4 78 ABBEY PLAYERS This was a transitional year for the Abbey Players We were moved from our first floor theater in St. Leo ' s temporarily into the Haid until the theater on the third floor is renovated. The facility in the Haid was originally supposed to be completed by mid- October, which would have allowed a first-semester production, but in actuality it was not completed un- til Easter break in mid-April Plans for the theater in the Haid were drawn by two members of the Players but were modified. Despite a few set-backs, the Players did produce a quite successful production of Thornton Wilder ' s Our Town on April 24-26. The leading roles were played by Kurt Helwig, Joan Gutshall, and Tom Kaiser with support from Anna Ellison, Chris Rosota, Rich Dougherty, John Monk, loan Heron, Mary Walsh, Chris Nash, Ralph Bonano, Bob Piotrowski, Anne Culdan, and Terry Fordyce. The play was directed by Tom Kaiser who had to fill the role of George when the actor originally cast dropped out of the play. Assistant to the director was Liz Shaw and lighting was handled by Kathleen O ' Donohue, Mary Celeste Gleason, and Terry Murphy Many cast members worked overtime on costumes and other small jobs necessary to the production of a play. The advisor for the Abbey Players is Mrs. )ean Moore. The Players would like to extend their thanks to all those members of the stu- dent body and administration who were supportive and helpful during this past troubled year and ask for their continued support in the future. 79 mwnmnnrnnrwMmnmuKmmtwr nmnma — « SPIRE A small but dedicated staff of interested Abbey students have produced this 1980 Spire Yearbook. Formally an annual publica- tion, the book was resurrected after two years of non-existence due to a lack of funds. This year the school appropriated 86,000 for the Spire, and the publication received final approval April 1, 1980 at which time the staff had raised the remaining 88,000 dollars necessary for publication and operating costs. After gaining permission to attempt a publication Mr. Jack Hanahan took the posi- tion as moderator and Stam Barone was elected editor-in-chief. The publication found very meager quarters in the basement of the Haid, the former campus security headquarters, scrounged for equipment, and located the materials discarded when they were evicted from their previous office. This organization is open to all students, and welcomes the sincerely interested. The Spire staff wishes to continue publishing a yearbook which accurately portrays Abbey life, and hopes, in the future, to receive more cooperation from the community as a whole. 80 SOUTHERN BENEDICTINE COLLEGE Southern Benedictine College held its ' final commencement exer- cises on May 13, 1979. Its ' closing left many students out in the cold with no school to return to in the fall. BAC Administrators assured the SBC students they would do as much as they could to help them finish their education. A small group of 24 packed up and came to North Carolina. Some came because all of their hours transferred and others simply followed their friends. Being a transfer is like reliving one ' s freshman year. Many stuck together at first, but in the end all made friendships that will last a long time. We are grateful to BAC for all the help in our time of need.

The philosophy of the Union is College unions should provide enter- tainment of a cultural, social, recreational, and educational nature. Students from Belmont Abbey College (BAC) and Sacred Heart College (SHC) are elected each year to represent the student body and form committees with specific duties in each area. This year ' s officers from BAC were Ellen Mullholland, President, and Janet Koenigsamen, Secretary. Kathy Saultz, Vice-President represented SHC. The heads of the various committees were: Social Committee Jenny Hillyard (SHC) 84 . . Recreation Committee JimStallings(BAC) Charlotte Sappenfield (SHC) Friday Night Thing (FTN) Committee Trisha Mcllmail (BAC) Addie Jean Morales (SHC) Co-Curricular Committee Chuck Somma (BAC) Angela Mancuso (SHC) The directors from BAC and SHC respectively were Kirk Brague and Marian Federal. Their duties consisted of working with various committees and sub-committees such as Constitution and Calendar. Co-Curricular Committee was in charge of bringing programs of educational and cultural value to the students. Such activities as guest speakers and entertainers, Coffee House gatherings, backgammon tourna- ments and campus movies were spon- sored by the Co-Curricular Committee. The Friday Night Thing Committee 85 brought us a variety of social entertain- ment from a night at the horse races , Casino night and various dances throughout the year. After a long week of studying we all looked forward to these Friday night functions. The Recreation Committee planned and promoted many adventures ranging from mountain skiing to beach weekends. In addition to weekend trips, the committee was responsible for all campus recreational activities. The Social Committee was responsi- ble for organizing the traditional three big weekends — Fall, Winter and 86 ab. Spring Weekend. These weekends were organized lo allow students, friends and family to gather to enjoy movies, con- certs and a formal dance. The College Union not only provides students with entertainment nut also helps those involved in the manage- ment and organization learn the skills of leadership, budgeting, planning and evaluating. All students are paying members of the BASH Union through tuition fees. To become an active member a student need only to attend one of the meetings in the beginning of the year and volun- teer. The Union encourages student in- volvement and gladly welcomes partici- pants. : :,f 87 SEMI-FORMALS 1979- ' 80 89 STUDENT ASSOCIATION The Student Association is the governing and representative body for students who wish to make changes through proper channels. The Association is comprised of the Senate and the Governor ' s Council, both of whose members are elected at the beginning of the year from each wing of the dormatories, and two from the commuting students. The members of the Senate also serve on various com- mittees, such as the Communication Committee, Library Committee, and the Academic Affairs Committee to name only a few. All Senators have voting privileges except for the mem- bers of the Executive Board who vote only to break a tie. The Senators are elected from among their peers and attempt to be unbiased in representing the best interests and opinions of their wing. The Governor ' s Council are concer- ned with conditions in the residence halls and other aspects of campus life. They attempt to improve the quality of living and dining for the resident stu- dents.

DAY STUDENTS The Abbey ' s Commuting Students, a large, but usually inconspicuous ■roup represent the local community Ho those of us who have been transplanted from hundreds of miles ia vay. Often collectively referred to as ( Day-Hops a number of individuals jare actively involved in student igovernment and are important mem- bers of various organizations. The number of commuting students has jbeen slowly increasing to the point Inhere parking in day-lot is becoming extremely cramped. Dealing with this problem, along with scheduling more night classes, are two of the ways the dministration is attempting to in- orporate these day students into the bbcy community. The president of the day students is Carolyn Bumgardner. Karen Xoel, Molly Mullis and Jim Andriole are their epresentatives on the Student Senate. CAMPUS MINISTRY Campus Ministry witnesses to the gospel of Jesus Christ by teaching and preaching the word of God and by gathering together the community of Belmont Ab- bey College for worship and ser- vice. It is made manifest through litergy and common prayer; ac- tivities of social concern and justice; retreats, counseling, educational events, social ac- tivities and other events at the Chi Rho House on campus. 94 IK k 95 HALLOWEEN PARTY A P .A Jar ' s ' 4 V ' j JP w Mb fl 9 ' 1 W mfth ■Hit r I IS 96 ijps tW M fm ■ M ' J -• i «i fey j$ Pill 1 | f THE PRISON VISITS Weekly visits by volunteers to Dallas Correctional Unit, a youthful offender ' s prison some ten miles from campus are unstructured, allowing informal social outlets and contact through games, refreshments, tutoring and recreational encounters with the inmates. SENIOR CITIZEN ' S HOME Each Sunday afternoon Campus Ministry volunteers travel forty miles to visit senior citizens at Hun- tersville, N.C. These visits bring God ' s love to alleviate the chronic lonesomeness among the elderly. Much love is exchanged in spite of the pain which strengthens the hope and faith of the elderly. Other activities sponsored by campus ministry are the Coffee Houses, Disco Dances, Bible studies, and get- togethers. Becoming a par- ticipating member of Campus Ministry is easy. There is no formal organization. Every- one who belongs, volunteers, shares, and pitches in for the success of all Campus Ministry programs. Everyone is welcome. Z 98 — RETREATS The retreatants take mountain hikes and tours of the cultural and historical sites in the Ap- palachians. They also play games like frisbee and softball, swim in the lake, watch movies, listen to tapes, and of course, eat wonderful meals prepared by the participants. Twice a year Big O takes retreatants to Ocean Isle or Holden Beach and they all spend a weekend in a huge, luxurious beach house on the Atlantic Ocean. Participation in the retreats is open to any member of the Abbey Community. 99 MHHM2aK mHHI HB RI i ; 1 • I i| ! ! !| i! i i :i i HI LI .j ; ! i : i ! 1 I i Hi 1?, T i f,V in i [S i i ? i i ■ i i i .1 •I 100 rm PI KAPPA PHI Each member of Pi Kappa Phi is an unique individual.

This fraternity was organized to further the social development of interested young men. Over the years TKE has varied both in size and location. Once the largest fraternity, TKE lived in what is now known as the Chi Rho House. From there it moved across 1-85 to the old church which presently belongs to Pi Kappa Phi. Finally, TKE settled In their last House across from Hardee ' s. The loss of that house combined with the diminished size projected a black future for TKE. However, the true meaning of brotherhood is ex- emplified by TKE ' s spirit which still thrives on campus. Their performance in the intramurals is proof of TKE ' s spirit Although they only placed third in basketball, TKE placed first in volleyball, football and soccer and anticipates success in the softball competition. The International Order of Diana, TKE ' s sisterhood, was first organized in 1968 on the Sacred Heart College Campus. It expanded to Belmont Abbey College three years after the Abbey went coed. The sisterhood has since become totally comprised of Abbey Women. Because it takes a certain uniqueness to be an Order of Diana sister the membership has consistently remained between ten and fifteen members for the past twelve years. TKE Is unique, always has been and always will be. The loss of House and land has not been detrimental to the organization instead It has worked to enhance the closeness found among TKE ' s and O.D.V Alan Jones — President Paul V.

An annual event on Belmont Abbey Campus is anxiously an- ticipated by all Greeks as an op- portunity to pit their brawn as well as brains (and don ' t forget beer) against each other. Some of the events included in the competition are swimming, college bowl football, chugging contest and various events on Saturday such as an eating con- test, chariot races and others. This year Pi Kappa Phi won the games and was awarded the trophy to keep until next year. ..- ■ 106 107 ffSHSH-H ' ■JUr iA  M%tekKf JA3U I.F.C. The IFC, Interfraternity Council was organized to foster a spirit of cooperation and community among the different Greek groups.

The Organized Sisterhood Council newly formed this year attempts to unite the girls into one working unit which would benefit both the school and the community and foster a feeling of good will and cooperation among the groups.

However, this was a good start and all the girls who participated were quick to admit that they enjoyed the week and got to know a lot of people they previously did not.

The week was capped off with the O.S.C. party at the victors house, where the air was filled with much spirit and unity. Greek Week was a great learning and unifying experience for all of the sisterhoods and to all the individuals who participated. The O.S.C.

The purpose of the frater- nity is to promote development through brotherhood. Our chapter and the more than 200 throughout the United States form the foundation for the brotherhood. By establishing our own identity, we strive to better ourselves in our actions towards others and God. Sig Ep adds to campus life by fostering a spirit of friendship among those in our fraternity and among non- members. Sig Ep also contributes to the social life on campus by participating in sports activities and through weekly par- ties. In short, we add a sense of unity and originality to our campus in an attempt to make it a better place to live. Our philosophy is to bring out the upstanding characteristics of each person in the hopes that he will conduct his life accordingly. The Cardinal principles of Sigma Phi Epsilon are virtue, diligence and brotherly love. We also seek to be of service to our community. Last year we repainted all of the city signs in Belmont. We are always willing to put time into a project for the benefit of others. 1 114 Sharon Riley — President I .iiii-.i Camcroa — Vice-President Maureen Donahoe — Treasurer .lune Healy — Secretary Jo Anne Green — Special ways means Karen Beam — Chaplain Tricia Mcllmail Robin Flanagan Donna Askew KaLhy McMahon Pam Kelly Ronnie Zayatz Carolyn MuHally Allison Holmes Judy Probst Mary Zysk • Jackie Reynolds Bridget Ryan ( indy Diemcr Maria Alejo Donna Hell Wendy Lorina Melody Dayton Kerrie Farren Joanne (lormlcy Nancy Haselton Joan Hunt Kathy Lowry Mary Ellen McGlinchy Chris Rosato Wendy Westbrook (ilenda Burnett Kelly Mauger Missic Rogers Mi mi Ortega THE GOLDEN HEARTS The Golden Hearts, a sisterhood affiliated with Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was founded in 1969.

Theta Lambda was first recognized by the Administration in October 1976 under the name Delta Psi Lambda. In March 1977 the sorority petitioned to become part of the National Fraternity, Zeta Tau Alpha. The fraternity has over 85,000 women throughout the United States and Canada. The petition was approved in April of 1977 and one year later the sorority was officially installed as the Theta Lambda Chapter of Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity. Since then Theta Lambda has grown in love and sisterhood. The sisters have many social activities and collegiate-alumnae functions along with service projects for the National Association for Retarded Citizens (National Philanthropy) as well as the campus com- munity.

The three cardinal principles of the brothers of APO are leadership, friendship, and service.

It was organized as a separate, but equal, body to work in conjunction with them. One of the main purposes of the sisterhood is to help all persons dis- cover themselves and to uphold a standard of womenhood that can with- stand the test of time. It would create a code of ideals that could be respected by all. The sisterhood would be open to all women despite race, color, or creed. It would have the same principles and ideals of APO, but would be called the Sisters of RHO Ml ' . The three cardinal principles of the Sisters of RHO Ml ' are leadership, friendship, and service. The most important is service; to the college, com- munity, members of the Fraternity, Sisterhood, and to the nation as par- ticipating citizens. The 13 original sisters were officially recognized as a group on February 17, 1976. Today, as well as then, the Sisters of RHO ML ' have sincere desire to put sen-ice to their fellow men ahead of selfish aims.

With only thirteen players on the roster and the most difficult schedule in years, a successful season was not to be. Resounding defeats by national powers, Clemson and UNC, made it more than obvious that Abbey Soccer had suffered a turn for the worse. To the credit of the team, despite the odds, their ef- forts and perseverance resulted in three victories over lesser oppo- nents, UNC-Asheville, Catawba College and Warren Wilson. They suffered a tough loss to Wofford in overtime and tied Elon 2-up despite spotting the opposition two goals and playing a man short through the overtime periods. They finally finished the season with an overall record of 3-9-1.

The indoor season offered the team an opportunity to redeem some prestige and restore its reputation. Through three tour- naments the Abbey team, predominately freshmen, gained second, third and fifth places. They completed the indoor season with a 13-4 record and much optimism for the future of Abbey Soccer. A strong recruiting year promises to bring hoped for suc- cesses and renewed interest in soccer on the Abbey campus. ■ ii r . 125 126 1 ,- .--. - Most Outstanding Freshman Awarded to Jim Kirby.

Besides finishing the season with an outstanding won-loss record 29-5, the team claimed its initial WBTV Carolina Classic title by defeating perennial powerhouse and four-time winner of the Classic, Gardner-Webb, by a score of 70-52. The team got off to a good start by dunking UNC-Asheville, 77-74, Friendship College, 97-64, and Wingate College by a score of 80-69. The Carolina Classic began with Abbey en- tering the tourney with a promising 3-0 won-loss record. In the first round action in the WBTV Carolina Classic, held at the Wheeler Billy Holmgaard, Reggie Holmes, David Kershaw, JohnPicinich, Greg Howard, Jere Howard, Stan Parker, Frank Pickett, John Magierowski, Ricky Rickman, Dempsey Cohen, Bobby W. Hussey, Lin Hollowell, Charles Barnes. 130 Center, Belmont Abbey College, the Crusaders defeated Catawba College, 96-N5, against Pfeiffer College in the second round aetion, the Abbey emerged victorious by a score of H4-7.1, and then went on to upset the Bulldogs of Gardner-Webb in the championship round of the tournament by a convinc- ing score of 70-52. Named to the All- Tournament team were senior co- captains Reggie Holmes and Billy Holmgaard, who was also awarded the Most Valuable Player Award. Thus the Crusaders ended the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs four year reign as champions of the Carolina Classic. The team continued it ' s winning ways following the exciting conclusion of the Classic with victories over Livingstone College, 95-86, and Augusta College, 91-74, before making the scheduled northern trek to face St. Peter ' s in Jersey City, N.J., and Iona College in New York. Sporting an unblemished 8-0 record the Crusaders arrived in Jersey City, N.J., home of the Gales of St. Peter ' s, with a slight case of jet lag but otherwise well. Unfortunately, the Gales took their turn at being air borne as Belmont Abbey College was bombed by an 85-53 margin. The team then mm ■ 1 T - ' ■ 1 Ki-mvMft . Jjam B _)cJVi '  ■ traveled to New Rochelle, New York to face powerful Iona College, but for the second time in ten outings, the Crusaders were denied, finishing up on the low end of a 54-46 final score. Notable performances were turned in by senior Reggie Holmes who grabbed ten rebounds and held Iona ' s All American center Jeff Ruland to only 8 points, and guard Frank Pickett, who also collected ten rebounds while click- ing for 12 points. Getting back on the winning track, Belmont Abbey College downed Augusta 87-82, Livingstone College, 101-72, Catawba College 86-74, and St. Andrew ' s 85-52 before falling to the Golden Bulls of Johnson C. Smith University by a score of 83-74. For the first time during the 79-80 season, the Crusaders did not occupy the top posi- tion in the NAIA District 26 ratings. The Abbey dropped to number two. Two quick victories during the mid- dle part of January against Pfeiffer, 78- 69, and Atlantic Christian, 86-67, were sufficient to have the team reinstated as the number one club in the Dunkel ratings. Continuing to win convinc- ingly, they recorded victories over Mars Hill, 68-61, Catawba, 84-81, Voorhees, 85-74, and Elon College, 65- 55. Sporting a record of 18-3, the Abbey was traveling to UNC-Asheville when they encountered a tractor-trailer acci- dent which caused them to be 15 minutes late for a game which was sup- posed to be underway at 7:30 P.M. The momentum just wasn ' t there, however, and Belmont Abbey suffered its ' fourth loss that evening in a 74-57 rout. 133 What happened the last nine games of the season could only be called spec- tacular. Constantly under heavy challenge for the number one spot in the district ratings, the Crusaders fought tooth and nail to cop victories in each of the last nine outings preceding the playoffs. The first victim was to be Wingate College who fell to the wayside by a score of 64-57. A 23 point performance by Holmgaard and a 24 point game by freshman guard Dempsey Cohen sealed another victory against Pfeiffer, 76-65. On and on it went, with Lenoir-Rhyne buckling under the pressure of the shooting of David Kershaw, who pumped in 18 big ones, and Reggie Holmes and Greg Howard, both of whom tallied 16 points for the night. The final score of that contest was 78- 68. Elon fell 67-60. Johnson C. Smith was outclassed in a very tight second half ballgame, 90-84. Other victories against Mars Hill, 87-59, Lenoir Rhyne, 97-78, Allen University, 103-90, and Atlantic Christian, 79-71, sent the Crusaders into the NAIA District 26 playoffs with an impressive 27-4 record and a first place seed in the tourney. In the first round action, the Crusaders played host to High Point College in a low scoring victory, 40-37. Dempsey Cohen led the Abbey with 12 points, while fellow backcourt ace Frank Pickett chipped in for 10 points. The second game of the playoffs pitted the Abbey against Elon College at 134 ML ' •■ ' .

In the final round of play, the Crusaders fell to St. Augustine ' s by a score of 79-71. All hopes for an NAIA District 26 championship and a chance to play in Kansas City, in the National NAIA Tournament were ended. Despite the disappointing finale, the season was spectacular. Head coach Bobby Hussey was filled with praise for his ballplayers, most of whom will be returning next year. This was ob- viously a great season, Hussey ex- plained, in many respects. The statistics speak for themselves — WBTV Carolina Classic Champs, rated 12th in the nation among small colleges, and most wins in a single season in the history of the school, a record which has been immutable since it was set under the tutelage of Al McGuire in 1958. What the stats do not indicate, however, is the calibre of peo- ple who comprised this year ' s team. Everyone was willing to make many sacrifices in order to make the season the success it was. These athletes sub- ordinated themselves to the team con- cept which was so well typified by the excellent leadership shown by senior co-captains Holmgaard and Holmes. This whole team just did a super job. True, the team definitely did function as a cohesive unit, but there were also some very noteworthy individual per- formances. Leading the team in scoring was junior forward David Kershaw of Wellford, S.C., who was hitting at a clip of 15.3 points per game while help- ing out underneath with 5.3 rebounds. Holmgaard was close behind in scoring with an average of 15.0 points per game and 9.3 rebounds, while Reggie Holmes averaged 12.1 points per game and 8.6 rebounds. Dempsey Cohen chipped in for 11.9 points per game while Pickett averaged 10.9. Rounding out the scor- ing was Greg Howard, a junior forward from Burlington Township, N.J., who hit for 8.6 points per game. The Crusaders finished the season averaging 78.7 points and 33.6 rebounds per game as a team, while their opposi- tion averaged 69.5 points and 30.2 rebounds per game. 137 Score SEASON ' S SCORES Name of Opponent 77 UNC-Asheville 97 Friendship 80 Wingate 96 Catawba 84 Pfeiffer 70 Gardner-Webb 93 Livingstone 91 Augusta 53 St. Peter ' s 46 Iona 87 Augusta 101 Livingstone 86 Catawba 85 St. Andrews 74 J.

After seeing limited action in his freshman year, he came back his sophomore year as a starter and literally led the team in nearly every category for the next three years. His senior year he led the club in rebounding, hauling in an average of 9.3 per game and finished second in scoring with an impressive 15.0 points per game. Having barely recovered from a bout with pneumonia, he was named the MVP of the 1979 WBTV Carolina Classic. He was selected to the All-District team in NAIA District 26, and he was named to the 1979-80 small college All-America team. Little can be said about this gifted athlete that has not already been said by the press, but head coach Bobby Hussey is quick to point out that this individual is also a performer in the classroom. Billy Holmgaard, explained Hussey, is exem- plary in every way. He is very popular and well respected by the press, opponents and fans. He is a classic example of the student-athlete concept: Those who perform both on the court and in the classroom. As if the honors this guy has won already weren ' t enough, he will be singled out at the Sports Banquet this year to have his jersey, number 35, retired from future use, only the second player in the school ' s history to be distinguished in this manner. He is also the 1979-80 recipient of the Marty Thomas Award, given each year to the out- standing senior athlete in the school. An outstanding individual, Hussey related. He was extremely productive while he was in college, and I ' m sure that he will continue to be very productive in life as an alumnus. Whatever lies in the future for this athlete, one thing is for certain, and that is that his absence on the court here at the Abbey will be sorely felt in future years. 140 OTffiUfiTSHWWTTWTKWnfi REGGIE HOLMES He possesses some of the very finest human qualities I ' ve ever had the privilege to coach, is the way coach Bobby HuBsey describes his senior center Reggie Holmes. He is an extremely motivated person with a great deal of pride in him- self and his team. He has much more direction than most young people I know. A native of Sumter, South Carolina, Reggie has been with the club for the past two seasons and has done a great job. During these two seasons, he has helped the team post 23 wins in his junior year and 29 wins in his senior year. En route to that 29 win season, Holmes averaged 12.1 points per game and 8.6 rebounds. A real crowd pleaser because of patented deltoid flex slam dunks, he was also named to the WBTV Carolina Classic All-Tournament Team. Always one to rise to the occasion, he had some of his best games against the toughest com- petition. Very notably, he held All-American cen- ter Jeff Ruland of Iona College to only 8 points while collecting ten rebounds in that same contest. Singled out to play in the North Carolina Senior All-Star game held at the Charlotte Coliseum, Holmes again displayed his winning stuff as he pumped in 25 points in a game which featured such nationally known players as Mike Gminsky and Bob Bender of Duke, Mike O ' Koren and Rich Yonaker from Chapel Hill and Dudley Bradley of the Kansas City Chiefs. A very compassionate young man, Reggie ' s future plans include teaching children with learn- ing disabilities and social work. Whatever he does, the attitude which made him such a competitor on the court and gentleman off the court is certain to carry him through a very rewarding and produc- tive career as an alumnus. 141 CHEERLEADING Three cheers for our bubbling, vivacious, and electric Crusader cheerleaders!! The dependable Abbey squad was in attendance at every basketball game to lend support to the players and rev up the fans.

Steve Reily brother of T. J. Reily held down the number 2 position and was the only senior on the strong Crusader Ladder. Martin and Reily teamed up to play number one doubles. Sophomore, Kevin Burke, the team ' s most valuable player, and most improved player defended the number three spot. Another sophomore, Scott Davis, played the number four position and teamed with Burke to play in the number 2 doubles position. Freshman Mike Sijon, number 5, was the team ' s Good Game Guy (sportsmanship) Award recipient. The number 6 man Andrew ' Doris played together with Sijon in the number three doubles position. Dennis Noble and Herb Hunter, number 7 and 8 respectively, rounded out the rest of the well-balanced Crusader Squad.

After completing a strong fall per formance. the Crusader linksmen were anxiously looking forward toward i successful spring. Wet weather victimized many of the season ' s earl? matches, forcing a curtailed schedule which never allowed the team n hers the valuable competitive experience necessary to maintain the fidence needed. Although the team lacked consistency, the season was highlighted by many outstanding rounds. The apex of this year ' s edition was a runner-up finish at a mid-March match to a tough Wingate team enjoying a home course advantage. The Crusaders scored a team tally of 316, good enough to down tough opponents Catawba and Lenoir-Rhyne, On April 18, the Crusaders hosted the first annual BAC Spring Classic at Gallagher Trails. Although finishing well back in the pack, the team turned in a good performance against a field of formidable foes which include the likes of Gardner-Webb, High Point, and Greensboro. Members of the 1979-KO Crusader golf team included seniors Charlie Hof- iiiii mi and Steve Naso, juniors Tim Greene and Clyde Arrowood, sophomore Denis Stokes, and freshmen George Adams and Paul Cover. While the team will sorely miss the steady performances registered by Hofmann and Naso throughout their college career, it is hoped that the experienced nucleus returning will provide the talent for a winning season. Several members of the team were recognized at the season-ending sports banquet. These included Clyde Arrowood — Most Valuable Player, Denis Stokes — Most Improved, and Charlie Hofmann. Hofmann received a special citation for four years of excellent play. Belmont Abbey ' s home course Gallagher Trails is in the process of renova- tion. It hopes to provide a fairer test of golf when the course reopens in the fall. Come September, the golfers of Father Martin Hayes will be on course hoping to represent the college community in the best manner possible.

In some sports fraternity teams and wings of the different dorms are pitted against each other; in others it is a small team, or the individual on his own. If you are interested in this ongoing and growing program, look for the notices posted around campus, or contact one of the coaches in the gym. L i t If GRADUATION Color pictures by Ann Parks Hawthorne % : mm GRADUATION 1980 Graduation One hundred and thirty- four students received the bachelor ' s degree from Bel- mont Abbey College in the school ' s 102nd commence- ment ceremony on May 11. Eighteen Belmont Abbey College graduates were awarded the Bachelor of Science degree and 116 received the Bachelor of Arts. Eighteen students graduated with honors, including four Minima cum laude and eight magna cum laude graduates. One of the noteworthy events of the day, the hooding ceremony, was held in a new location, against the backdrop of the Administra- tion building.

Following the celebration a small reception with light refreshments was held on the front lawn of the monastery followed by a more substan- tial lunch in Maurus Dining Hall. The graduates had the op- portunity to reflect back on some of the events of their college career as they headed towards the ceremony in the gym. Four demanding years of study, four years of transition, four years of close relationships with fellow stu- dents and faculty, four years of exhausting partying ... It was all over — including the shouting. Several honorary degrees were awarded preceding the presentation of diplomas. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. Brennan of Charlotte were awarded 162 doctor of laws degrees. They were chosen by the college to represent the fathers and mothers of our country, in keeping with the theme. The honorary doctor of laws degree was also presen- ted to Dr. William J. Briggs as an educator who has con- tributed much to the com- munity. Also receiving that of doctor of humane letters, was Abbot Martin, the homolist. A quiet greeting and challenge by Abbot Peter Stragand, O.S.B. introduced by the Honorable Basil Whit- ner, and a few words from Fr. Xeal Tobin, President of Bel- mont Abbey College, and a benediction by Fr. Oscar, stu- dent chaplain, completed the four years script 163 II H H L 4 tfi 1 ■ -1t R Aj  h ADS Patrons, One Liners, Directory SECTION EDITOR Kitty Preston ■■■■■■I m REALTOR ' E ON Save ty« nn 5? ft -m o. -- ' .

BEST WISHES FROM SAINT VINCENT de PAUL CATHOLIC CHURCH AND PARISH FAMILY CHARLOTTE, N.C. REV. WILLIAM G. WELLEIN, PASTOR SISTERS MERCY SAKE SISTEIS OF MERCY Sacrad Heartfoweif Bdwnfc KC l£! I Oh Thank Heaven for 7-11! We would like to express our appreciation to all those who were so essential in the successful production of this book. To our moderator who was there from beginning to end and whose con- stant badgering (almost as much as the editor ' s) kept us on the uphill climb to the end. Special love and gratitude to Abbot Walter without whose generosity and skill we would not have some of the quality pictures we have. To Rose Horman and Brenda Tyson who stood up and fought for us, had faith in us, and helped gain the needed financing. To Fr. Mauricio West, who was extremely helpful, and supplied excellent suggestions along with leads to a number of advertisers. Thanks also to our Delmar representative, Bernie Lessard, who constantly insisted that we do a truly imaginative publication, and whose willingness to bend over backwards for us time and time again went beyond our comprehension. Special mention should also go to Joyce Williams who persisted in tracking us down at all hours with important messages and to Becky Garner without whose magic fingers half of our copy would not be typed. To Jacques Lake who allowed us to use some of his photos and had them developed for us, and to Ann Hawthorne who traveled down from her retreat in the mountains to take our graduation shots. We would like to thank the Raskob Foundation for their generous support of Spire and special thanks to the parents and faculty who purchased copies and also supported us by being patrons. We also extend appreciation to the businessmen in the area who placed ads in this book, and ask that the members of the Abbey Community frequent their establishments often. And finally we would like to thank all those who constantly in- quired about the progress of the Spire and gave the staff the in- spiration needed to push on. What a hell of a year it has been for those attempting to produce the 1979- 80 Spire!! In the beginning with no precedent, no budget, and no advisor a small but enthusiastic group got together and launced the Spire with a yearbook party. It was an uphill climb from there (something like Mt. Everest). After gaining a budget of $6,000 and permission to raise an additional $8,000, we then had to go out and raise it ' There were also small problems like that fact that we. for the first 2 l i months, had no office, no phone, and no materials. However, when we did find our old materials stored away, we quickly moved in a specious, 8 x 10, four white walled, room complete with running water from the bathroom pipes overhead. (And hot steam substituted for dry heat or none at all, which is better for staying awake on those all night deadlines.) It seems we bit off more than we could chew, our ambitions in many cases exceeded our manpower, our patience, our time, and our ability. Such a task was this yearbook that it made many sUff members quit, drove the editor to the brink of insanity and in general produced genuine frustration for our small but willing staff. This is why we have decided to dedicate this publica- tion to those who worked so hard to produce it. Special recognition should go to Stan Barone who saw this book as an obtainable goal and organized, prod- ded, and bitched until it was done, and without whom the Spire would not exist. To Kitty Preston who held the purse strings, kept the accounts, and was in general miserly with the money. To Jenny Rowland who was our jack - of-all-trades and general moral-builder. To Ellen Mulholland. who with boundless energy was able to organize our activities section. To Laura Rowland who met all the seniors in her class in an attempt to track them down for pictures. To Tracy Flannagan. Chris Russell, and all those who camped out with us til the wee hours of the morn to make deadlines, and to Mr. H . our moderator, who gave us a free hand to learn, grow, and make our own decisions. To all those listed below we dedicate this publication.

Bud Gallagher 1913 - 1979 It would be difficult to enumerate the manv times and ways Bud Gallagher has quietly provided for the entire Belmont Abbev Community. Far too few members of this community, and especially the students, know just how much and how often that has been. Let them now be reminded of the deep debt of gratitude ow ed to Bud Gallagher. ULTIMA IN MORTIS HORA, FILIUM PRO NOBIS ORA BONAM MORTEM IMPETRA VIRGO MATER DOMINA. That ' s the way Benedictines say goodbye to their own. From the students of Belmont Abbey — Bud Gallagher, Ave et vale! Hail and farewell! 198 MARY COOK Mary Cook, gracious chatelaine of the Presidents of Bel- mont Abbey College, doyenne of the Board of Trustees, collec- tor of Information about Belmont Abbey Alumni and friend to students, professors and administrators alike has finally chosen retirement. After 25 years of dedicated service to the college she was honored with a retirement dinner during Alumni Weekend and was presented a plaque for dedicated sen-Ice by the Hon. Basil Whltener, chairman of the Belmont Abbey Board of Trustees on behalf of the Board. Mary may have retired from active service to the college but one who has been so deeply Involved in the workings of this college will we hope, continue to live close and will still welcome her many triends and admirers. AD MULTOS ANNOS MARY! MR J. P.SMITH Mr. J. P. Smith, stern-visaged professor of accounting and Treasurer of Belmont Abbey College was the font of financial knowledge, both theoretical and actual, for a period of 25 years at the college. Years of pretended miserliness never could deter this generous spirit and to the end he was a sucker for a sad story. Generations of students will remember him lor the harsh greeting, the deep frown, the unfailingly willing ear, the fatherly lecture, and the practical teaching which made his accounting students so successful He retired irom teaching and from the Administration In 1979 and a scholarship was created by his friends and students to be a lasting memorial to his presence at Belmont Abbey J P — Ood grant you and Amy good health and many years to enlov your retirement J ' GILBERT FARLEY Gilbert Farley came to Belmont Abbey in 1938 as a student and though he went to the University of Miami for a B.Ed, in 1950 and an M.Ed. In 1955 and to the University of Indiana for a PhD. In 1960, most of his interest centered in Belmont Ab- bey College. Years of service to the college as Instructor, professor, and finally Chairman of Business and Economics culminated in 1979 with his retirement Two score years of students at Belmont Abbey College have known Gilbert Farley as friend and professor. Upon his retirement his friends and former students established a scholarship in his name. Enjoy your retirement, Gil Farley, foryou richly deserve it! Rest firm in the knowledge that your service to your stu- dents and to the college won the admiration of your peers and especially of Fr. Cuthbert Allen who said Inevitably inex- orably and ineluctably, Gil ... . DR WINSLOW HARTFORD Dr. Winslow Hartford came late to Belmont Abbey College on his retirement from Allied Chemical Corporation. Not too late however to head the Chemistry Department for a period and thoroughly Inculcate a generation of Abbey students in the wonders of the environment As a dedicated prophet of doom he lead many students and professors to appreciate delicate ecological systems, complex chemical formulas, the exigencies of wood preservation, the value of evocative stimulation, and above all the value of chromium in all our systems. Win was and is a gadfly and we think of him as con- stantly expounding, and let ' s hope nothing ever slows him down because he has been a marvelous inspiration for so many and such a generous font of knowledge of so many diverse kinds. Truly a man of many talents, put your retire- ment to its best use, Win, and keep right on Life — So they say Is but a game and they let it slip away Love — like the Autumn sun Should be dying but its only just begun Like the twilight in the road up ahead And all the secrets in the universe Whisper in our ears and all the years will come and go And take us up always up Dreams — So they say Are for the fools and they let them drift away Peace like the silent dove Should be flyin ' but it ' s only just begun Like Columbus in the olden days We must gather all our courage Sail our ships out on open sea Cast away our fears and all the years will come and go And take us up always up We may never pass this way again We may never pass this way again That ' s why I want it with you Seals and Crofts 200 SHiuuramn ia ' io . eiviu zrrsta mia JUUMHIHHUUUW
