THE Class of 1940 respectfully dedi- cates this Telolog to our Dean of Dis- cipline and Director of Athletics, the Rev. John Doyle, O.S.B. As Dean of Discipline, Father John has met with remarkable success. By his kind and sympathetic understanding of the difficulties of young men he has gained the respect of every student. Indeed, he has changed the course of many a young man and made him a true Benedict,' student. As the Director of Athletics, Father John has shown a sincere interest in the athletic life of our school. In arranging the schedules of games for St. Benedict's varsity teams, he has sought to engage only the schools Whose teams are recog- nized for their athletic powers. True, this policy has caused the Gray Bees an oc- casional defeat, but it has greatly en- hanced St. Benedict's reputation as a leader in the athletic World. X We Wish to congratulate Father John for the truly great Work he has done and sincerely hope that all his future ventures may be as successful. DEDICHTIUII

THE Class of 1940 wishes to take this opportunity to express to you, cur instructors for the past four years, our sincere appreciation for all you have done for us. When we entered St. Benedict,s four years ago, we found ourselves in a new and terrifying world. We lost little time, however, in becoming a part of this new life, thanks to your understanding and counsel. Because you, too, were once young men who found yourselves facing the same difficulties, you were able to help us in our trials and tribulations, and to correct our faults, instilling in their stead the qualities of a true Benedict stu- dent-honesty, decency, hard work, and, above hall, the love and fear of God. It is true that in bringing about this reformation you occasionally found it necessary to resort to disciplinary meas- ures which sometimes seemed rather se- vere. At first we resented this discipline and thought it unnecessary, but we now recognize it as the development of our character. Now, in leaving St. Benedict,s, it is difficult to find suitable words to express our gratitude, but you may be sure that the feeling comes from the bottom of our hearts when we say, Thanks for everything. Perhaps others could express it more eloquently, but not more sincerely. ,IlCUlTV...
