Dedication In the four years that we Seniors have been at Gib- bons, we have observed at various distances a man who combines dedication with humor and precision with tolerance. The man is Brother Lane. During the day he may be found performing the duties of Dean of Discipline—raiding the Senior smoking lounge, run- ning imaginary scissors across the napes of concealed necks, and reading facsimiles of announcements at 3:00. Besides acting as Dean of Discipline, Brother teaches Biology, and most students who have had him know that he approaches this subject with the same light but probing touch. “He makes you work,” com- mented one Senior, “but he’s good because you know what you have to work at.” A couple of paragraphs to summarize ten years of giving is inadequate, but the Knight staff, we believe, reflects the feelings of the entire student body when we dedicate this book to a man who serves as an ex- ample of applied Christianity, Brother Patrick B. Lane. 2
