Something Different What’s different? A number of new clubs, that’s what’s different. The '86-’87 school year gave birth to three new clubs, not the least of which was the Black Cultural Society. The group formed for black students or those interested in the black culture held monthly meetings. Guest speakers were often brought in, providing the Society with information on various aspects of black life and culture as well as education and career opportunities. Todd Easier led the group as President. Of Special Interests Benedictine’s wide variety of extracurricular organizations enabled students to join with others in pursuing individual interests. New at BHS, the Rock Band made itself known early. Performing w'ith the Jazz Band at basketball games and grade school concerts, guitarist and singer Andy Ardo, bassist Jim Nawar-skas, guitarist Dan Schroeder, and drummer John Uston displayed their talents to all .. .Playing both vintage and contemporary rock, the Band paved the way for future school rock bands. Also new. Students Against Driving Drunk or SADD was started by Fr. Anselm and junior Bill Griffin. Members signed contracts-for-life with their parents, vowing not to drive while intoxicated. The group also sponsored a candy sale and posted anti-drug abuse posters throughout the school. Still as popular as ever, the Ski (dub was active also. For a prescribed fee, members could ski at an area resort once a week after school. In addition, the Club took their annual trip to the New York slopes in January. ROCK HAND (I to r) A. Ardo, J.
