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...

Our pfeaiclenf THE complex organization of a modern school requires constant and inspiring leadership. The teachers strive to guide and direct the students in the field of literature, art, and science. Unless the teachers are inspired, they cannot pass on enthusiasm to their classes. It is here that our President, the Right Reverend Patrick O'Brien, O.S.B., D.D., fulfills in an ad- mirable Way the chief duty of his office. His inspiration derives from his complete outlook on life and his conviction that school life must be a preparation for fu- ture life. Since by his profession and office he is pledged to work for the achievement of spiritual, rather than mere material goals, he aims to inspire his teachers to a complete view of life. He would have them lead their students to a true standard of values, which will en- able them to remain faithful to the ideals of the true Christian. His clear vision gives to teachers and students alike the ability to see life fully. We, the students, are conscious of his influence. We hope to prove by our lives that his inspiration has achieved its goal. Sv! anim 275 K man mtuurun .5 f A Q .,,.. . , YE-51,2 ,',.' Y 3 Page El n
