Three plaques on the Butterfield campus bear the numerals 1957, the date of opening construction. Two years later, 1959, four classes moved to the bright buildings for boarders. For this first orientation, all the cadets and even the faculty had to adjust to the newness. The class of 1963, the first class to live all four years out at Butterfield Road, can tell you it has grown. Are there any strong traditions? Not yet. A few minor traditions — such as kitchen raids and lounge burnings — have been squelched by justly vigilant fathers. Some of the older ones from the Lake Street campus have been retained and injected with a new vigor. Y.C.D., plebe rules, and the hysteria for Federal Inspection are examples. The growth of new buildings and facilities makes room for growth of the school. Time will select certain activities to be- come traditions of the future. It used to be slightly embarrassing when a cadet was asked about some of the more technical aspects of Marmion. Eventually, he knew, he would ha e to admit the rather funny fact that his school had no classroom building. Swimming pools were unquestionably superfluous, and athletic fields could be shared with the Lake Street campus quite easily; but there was shame in not having a classroom building. IBA Now, Marmion can show off to the best. Classes have been mcvea Pof the dormitory and into a new home. The new building is a place for study and general pursuit of knowledge; and since it stands for this purpose alone, ' it has assumed an atmosphere impossible in the old days. Naturally, facilities for learning have been markedly improved in the past four years. More classrooms, larger and in some cases specialized to facilitate and improve instruction, enable Marmion to educate better than in any period of her history. Science laboratories, considered indispensable to understanding of the sciences, and even a language laboratory for practical instruction, are now in the classroom building. The Academy can finally settle down to normal processes of learning; the elevation of the calibre of students is in progress. ' Dedication Father Sebastian, O.S.B., ends his twenty-fifth year as a priest on June 7th of this year. Since 1939, he has taught history to Marmion cadets; and for almost as long, has been Freshman Latin teacher. In 1949, he was appointed Alumni Director, and since the move to the new campus he has been Business Manager. This man is one who is connected with a student during his stay at Marmion and after his graduation. As Alumni Director, he keeps an eye on the products of Marm ion to evaluate education ' s effect and to help maintain bands between the individual, his class, and his school. Father Sebastian remarks that it ' s difficult to forecast who will become what, or be where, or when. He has watched unnoticed factors change men from patterns they set up and obeyed at the academy to unpredicted goals. In some cases, war has caused deaths of men younger than he. His work and his vocation have caused twenty-five years to hurry by, and we mark the end of their passage with this dedication. M(iT lion ' s President As President of Marmion Military Academy and Abbot of Marmion Ab- bey, Father Abbot Gerald Benkert, O.S.B., Ph.D., has accepted and ful- filled towering responsibilities. Because of his effort and delegation of powers, his small community is able to educate and train more than a thousand students at one time. MtitMstratioH It seems that Marmion Military Academy is enjoying a period of expansion and development that can not be accidental. Since construction first began, there has been a growing, adding muscle to curricular structure. This activity has been a result of the lead- ership of Father Joseph Battaglia, O.S.B., A.B., A.M., as Headmaster. Mat mien ' s Headmaster Commandant Our benevolent, cheerful commandant has always been thus called. The incoming cadet ' s first impression of Father Luke is that of the Santa Claus we see when everybody has been good. There is also, of course, the wrath of the disciplinarian, but . . . It ' s a good thing for the cadet corps that a con- scientious man like Father Luke has been given this position. Director of Studies As director of studies, Father Leo is in charge of the academic growth of Marmion and of the student. Considering educa- tion as the reason for any school, his job is of great im- portance. Since he is also a teacher. Father Leo ' s work and responsibilities become even more demanding. Chaplain Under the dormitories, next to the chapel, is the office of Father Wulstan. Not to be confused with the academic teacher, here the chaplain talks out personal problems with a student; or hears a confession, or enlightens a boy to a way of enjoyment of a good life. There is no file; records are kept in the soul. 10 Father Raymond Hubers, O.S.I A.B. Religion, English. Father Leonard Lux, O S.B., M.A. Director of Development and Pub- lic Relations.

He has a fine academic listory, and for his last two years at Marmion, his class elected him their resident. Champ is also unanimously iccepted as the athletic leader of the 3utterfield Campift. Fe ared on the field md in the ring, he has done more to :reate school spirit than any other stu- dent. He is, surely, worthy of all his lonors. In any group larger than one person there are people who live life without worrying about it. Marmion has its just share of this type, but above all the rest stands out our giraffe, Ron Zielinski. Here he is, class vice-president, academically in the upper-upper percentiles, and a track star to boot. Semr Class Officers The class of 1963 will remember the A Company commander it produced. Pinky has grown from a giddy, personable plebe to a funny, friendly officer in the course of his four year hitch. His room is seldom empty, or for that matter, quiet. Now he ' s class secretary. Responsibilities are easy for Tom, as is shown by his unmarred record of leadership. In his four years at Marmion, Wes has made himself into an image. Trust- worthy and wily, he has found himself class treasurer in his junior and senior years, cellarer of the Oblates of St. Benedict, and Battle Group S-3. Bo is a picture of a guy merrily counting money or arranging bus schedules. i •.■ JOHN WILLIAM ABBOTT 7137 Baring Pky. Hammond, Indiana Cadet Call 4. Debate 1, 2. Drill Team 2, 3. Football 1.

' M Williams GP m 43 i lM i M I I I t a r y 44 For years, before the Butterfield Road Campus ever existed, Marmion has been named an honor military academy. The school has thus been commended for its achievement through- out the year and for its appearance at formal Federal Inspec- tion. That ' s a tribute of which we can be proud. Has there been any change in the four years that have passed since the opening of Butterfield? It would seem logical that the new environment would provide more opportunity for con- centration on military programs; and, necessarily, improve- ment in this field. According to the Professor of Military Science, Lt. Col. Grant, the corps has made a pronounced im- provement on itself. Butterfield Road bands and drill teams have been asked with increased frequency to perform off campus. The entire cadet corps has been asked to parade at Cantigny Museum each of the last three years. Here is recognition of military pro- ficiency from without the academy. 45 One of the most outstanding attributes of Marmion, separating her from schools of all types, is her military atmosphere and the attitudes of her cadets. The man responsible for pro- ficiency and esprit de corps is Lt. Col. Philip S. Grant. His personal enthus- iasm and ability has caught up the cadets in cooperation and pride in the corps. Colonel Grant leaves Marmion this year after four years as her PMS. The Senior Class of 1963 grew up with him at Marmion and both have lived admirably up to the Marmion Tradition. Major Ralph D. Schrenk, Asst. PMS at Mar- mion, in his close contact with the young men of Marmion, has given them a training and motive impossible for them to get through a lesser man. His influence will be felt for a lifetime. He has taught more statistics and drill; he has given a lesson in leadership and living. Major has had his tour of duty at Marmion extended for another year. Military Staff 46 Sgt. Maj. Max S. Trujillo Instructor, Tactical Officer Co. A. SFC Donald E.

History was made at Marmion when Cadet John Abbott received the Army and Navy Legion of Valor Bronze Cross. Only one such award is given a year to a cadet in the schools in the Fifth Army district. Annual formal jHspection Inspectors for 1963 were Lt. Col. Herman E. Wienecke, Asst. PMS at Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy and Capt. George M. Cross, Asst. PMS at Western Military Academy. pril 8 and 9 !l K : . V 1 . , Cadet Col. John Abbott addresses the audience at the Annual YCD. Col. Robert F. Conley, U.S.M.C, Commanding Officer of the Marine Air Reserve, Glenview, Illinois, delivers the YCD address. The Cadet Corps stages a mock battle for the audience. This year ' s battle was remarkably well performed. youth Citizenship ' Day May J ' J ' S Annual Youth Citizenship Day, renovated from its overly long form, represented a new and more interesting display. It is quite normal to see the Marmion Military Academy Corps of Cadets in a parade; but, on this occasion, other events made the day special. While Cadet Col. Richard Johnson of the Lake Street Campus commanded the troops. Cadet Col. John Abbott of the Butterfield Road Campus delivered the Citizenship address. He told in his speech of the advantage of a union of Christian and military educations. The speeches, the presence of the Marmion faculty, distinguished military personages, parents and guests, and the young lady sponsors of the companies, the mock battle, the drill team performance — these all lifted the 1963 YCD above the normal. The day served as a reminder of the responsibilities and goals that belong to the cadets of Marmion. The young lady sponsors of the companies and now honorary company commanders line up to receive their honors and to review the troops. Mil Zmm FRONT ROW: Kennedy P. J., Carroll J. M., Hannagan R.

If he is able to train his mind and subject it to the pursuit of truth, is he able to subordinate his body to his will? Can his muscles respond to his commands and compete in a contest demanding fitness and stamina? Can he enjoy a sport? Each cadet can choose the sports in which he would like to participate during the different seasons. Those not out for football, basketball, track, and baseball on the inter-scholastic level select the intramural activities of their choice. Classics in this field are football, basketball, volleyball, hockey, baseball, wrestling and handball. Now three new athletic areas are becoming popular. Lately, boxing has been con- suming the interest of a growing number of cadets. Weightlifting has always been practiced, but organization and enthusiasm are spread- ing this sport to everybody who can grab a barbell. Initiated last year, swimming has caught on again this year. Diversity is the word; compete and excel, the spirit. r Athletic 55 FRONT ROW: Morris, Budler, Spicka, Worthley, Ward, Scaccia, Depauw, Arbezinni, Kunes, Hollmier, Graham, Lorenz, Alderson, Weber, Nardone.

A boy. Now put him in a little community of aver- age American boys as soon as he is thirteen, and allow the mixture to settle. What would you expect to find ? A group of deranged adolescents, in most cases. How can Marmion Military Academy propose to be different? Each cadet comes pre- shaped according to his home culture, and each one must be adapted to the society de- manded by a boarding military school. For fourteen centuries, Benedictines have been living in a somewhat secluded state; and, with this background of Christian life, the monks of Marmion Abbey are authorities on such societies. A student comes to Marmion to learn, but history has taught that it is necessary to human life to have recreation, relaxation and a social life. There is, therefore, a growing schedule of social events. Shows, dances, and athletic events, talent shows and pep rallies are ever increasing. The ideal to be reached is the full, well-rounded social cadet, the total Christian man. 70 c I a I 71 The last link in Marmion ' s present expansion program, the new classroom building, is given blessing by Marmion ' s President, Father Abbot Gerald, O.S.B. OpeH ' mg of School The Cadet Choir sings at the Solemn Mass at the beginning of the 1962-63 school year. Better late than never, we began to move into the new classrooms. 72 Retreat In mid October, Father Patrick Fenton came to Marmion to activate the souls within. In ac- cordance with the ideals of well-rounded cul- tivation, retreat masters have been chosen from varied orders; there have been Jesuit, Paulist, Passionist, Servite, and Holy Cross priests. Father Fenton is of the Society of the Blessed Sacrament. He is assistant pastor of Notre Dame de Chicago and director of the Nocturnal Adoration Society. The four daily conferences were separated by periods of reading of religious matter. For four days, silence and relaxation of the schedule provided an opportunity to be alone and an atmosphere of analysis. The results are known only by God. Father Patrick pauses for our photographer. A well-filled chapel a daily Mass is a must for a good retreat.
