Norbert Ozimek, OSB. A man of many talents, Father Norbert is often seen about campus aiding students in many different activities.

Many changes come about in the Student Council this past year. Using the new constitution voted in by last year's Student Council, representatives were chosen from homerooms, instead of from organizations, as was done formerly. Using its new power to the fullest extent, the Council sponsored several activities and drives. Freshman initiation was carried out in successful and orderly fashion. The intramural program this year was one of the Student Council's new responsibilities. This year’s Student Council has shown the way that more effective student government may be accomplished.

The size and precision of the band has slowly grown until this year almost seventy men marched at our footba I games. The band can look with pride on its past for the past is a valuable foundation for the future. This thought has spurred the band on to higher achievement, since it realizes that excellence in musical skills is a growing process, not something accomplished overnight. As in the past, the band again participated in several civic and neighborhood ceremonies, as well as at the high school Christmas concert. This year, new faces are seen in the Band Department. Returning from a year of studies, the new Band Moderator is Father Vincent, OSB. The new Band Director is Mr. James Crossley. who obtained his musical experience at Baldwin-Wal-lace.

John Kness doesn't quite make it in this jump as Tony Kozlowski. John Klimek, and Ken Baka look on. But John Kness makes up for it by putting in these two points for the Bengals. 57 Taking a few warm ups prior t© the St. Ed's game is Jim Kearns. Tony Kozlowski led the varsity with many sparkling performances and was recognized for his accomplishments by selection to the Plain Dealer Dream Team as well as to the Press-Star squad for the 1967-1968 season. Snatching a rebound from the arms of an Eagle opponent is John Klimek as teammates John Kness and 8ob Bacik lend a hand. John Klimek goes up for a rebound despite some aggresivc opposition.

Friends, relatives, clergymen, and students congregated in St. Benedict's Church for the requiem mass of Rev. Benedict Dobrancin, O.S.B. This caused a touch of sadness to overshadow the school year. The popular priest died on Dec. I. 1967. Father Benedict was born on July 27, 1912, in Slovakia. He was ordained in St. John's Cathedral on April 2, 1936. He served as a teacher at Benedictine High School for six years (1939-1945). The clergyman was principal for two terms (1951-1957) and (1964-1966). Father Benedict was largely responsible for Benedictine’s entrance into the North Central Association of Colleges Secondary Schools. . . . a Time of Joy A gladsome event in any priest's life occured in 1968. Father Florian celebrated his silver anniversary as a priest. He was born in Horton. West Va. on Jan. 30, 1916. He was a member of Benedictine's 1934 graduating class. He received Holy Orders on March 20. 1943. at St. John's Cathedral. Father Florian has served as a member of the faculty, Dads Club Moderator, Golf Coach, Freshman Football and Basketball Coach, Varsity Baseball Coach, and Band Moderator. Rev.

Here Coach Bossu and Father Abbot listen intently to Tiger Ellison, freshman football coach of Ohio State Uni-versity. John Fousck hurries home to sell his chocolate. Tho chocolate drive was held to raise funds for the improvement of the school. For the second year Benedictine sent representatives to various grade school-in the Cleveland orca. The purpose was to givo tho eighth graders information about the high school. This scene shows Bob Kopco speaking at St. Benedict' School. During the football season the student body gave voice to its support of the Bengals. This particular picture is of the Cathedral Latin pep rally.
