A DEDICATION: BROTHER WILL IAM FEALY "If you have anything really valuable to con-tribute to the world it will come through the expression of your own personality, that single spark of divinity that sets you apart and makes you different from every other living crea ture." The first faculty member that we meet at LaSalle is the congenial bookstore moderator, Brother William Fealy. As we progressed through our four years here, we realized that there was much more to this man than merely his kindly disposition. We came to know_Brother as a man who was willing to give all of his time and energy, both inside and outside the classroom, to LaSalle students.

As horrified freshmen, our first experience was to report to the bookstore to purchase books. We timidly entered the room, but our fears were soon eased by the calm, chee rful manner in which Bro. Bill distributed his stockpile of books am id the frantic, disoriented frosh. Gradual familiarity led us to affectionately refer to the bookstore as "Fealy's General Store". It was a center of students' needs and the core of Bro. Bill's energies. Whether you want to buy a morn ing Inquirer or a pack of tokens, check up on the stock market, or just rap, the bookstore is the place to go. When December rolls around, " Fealy's General Store" is the personification of the Christmas Spirit. Brother goes all out for Christmas - the bookstore is transformed into an enchanted village and he sends personal greeting cards to all of his students. This friendly, secure atmosphere is the greatest reflection of his innate warmth.
