Ms Above--Unlike most other oflices at Bonner, Fr. Smith's chamber always holds a solemn and serious atmosphere. Below-Fr.

IVY - How to answer the questions and satisfy the doubts of a bewildered student in an everfhanging and ever-confusing world is the difficult task of our chaplains, Fr. Smith and Fr. lVlelcher.

The fact is undeniable: the student's view of discipline can never be altered, until he is no longer a student. Perhaps some day, however, each one of us will look back upon our high school days and comprehend the value of the work of our dedicated disciplinar- ians.
