Notes	Mr. Polinak studied tool and die design at West Tech High School in Cleveland from 1938 until he entered the US Navy in 1941. As a Motor Machinist Mate First Class, he operated and maintained internal combustion engines and engine auxiliaries. He also operated machine tools. While in the navy, he fought in the Battle of Omaha Beach. After his honorable discharge, Brother Bernie attended night school to finish his high school degree in 1947. He then took architectural drafting courses at the Cleveland Engineering Institute (1948-1949), adult education courses at St. John's College in Cleveland (1952-1956), and, while he was a junior brother at Milford Novitiate, courses at Ohio Mechanics Institute in Cincinnati (1961-1963). Before entering the [Jesuit] Society, he worked as a layout draftsman at General Motors from 1948 to 1958. While working at General Motors, he received a patent for a track shoe assembly (1959 US Patent 2, 883, 242). Beginning in 1950, he made a yearly retreat at St. Stanislaus (now Jesuit Retreat House) in Parma, Ohio. After six months of postulancy, Brother Bernie formally entered the Jesuits at Milford Novitiate in Ohio on April 1, 1959. He professed final vows on February 2, 1970, at Colombiere Center. After the novitiate, Brother Bernie moved to Colombiere Center, where he worked for almost 50 years. He was the chief engineer of the power plant (1963-1973), the superintendent of building and grounds (1973-1989), and the assistant to the superintendent of building and grounds (1996-2015). He spent seven years at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, as the assistant to the superintendent of building and grounds (1989-1996).
