SIXTEEN The complete College Library of ap¬ proximately 22,000 volumes is at the disposal of Academy students. Under the direction of trained librarians, seekers after knowledge have easy ac¬ cess to the wealth of information con¬ tained therein. To be found here, like¬ wise, are the more popular current magazines. A well ordered reading room lures the student to spend many a leisure hour in its inviting atmos¬ phere. The Bursar’s Office assures to the parent or guardian the proper regu¬ lation of the student’s funds. Having opened an account at the beginning of the year, he is provided with all the convenience and safety of a modern bank. Student guidance, under the direc¬ tion of Father Pax, greatly aids the individual in acclimatizing himself to institutional life. Moral, academic, and personal problems receive a sympa¬ thetic evaluation and solution at their very inception.

In the background of every major operation are those who have dedi¬ cated themselves to a labor of love. This is most certainly true of the Brothers of the Society of the Precious Blood whose untiring efforts are greatly responsible for the many menial tasks which are a necessary part of any institution. St. Joseph’s maintains and operates a farm which embraces nearly sixteen hundred acres. From it come many of the supplies for the refectory tables. Under careful supervision of the Brothers are the powerhouse, the carpenter shop, the bookstore, and the barbershop. In these days of man-power shortage their willingness to make repairs and adjustments when needed has been of inestimable value. To this end, in their own humble way, they have unselfishly dedicated their lives: the service of God through the furtherance of Catholic edu¬ cation. To them, therefore, belongs deep and lasting gratitude, one that can be measured not in time but in eternity. FIFTEEN
