Hold 'fast to themi These words are significant and to a St. Benedict- graduate they are precious. St. Benedict tradition and spirit are difficuit to define, yet you feet them from your very first days. f s Even with ati our wonderfui progress there are so many things eifxactiy the some as that of yesteryear. Our beautifui St. Benedict Church with its exquisite symbois of christianity, the schooi buiiding, with its oid durabiiity and its years of service yet to be futtiiied - these are but two famiiiar iandmarks in our centre of community iife. Every day the ceiebration of the Mass, that beautifui and inspiring enaction of Caivary has aiways been and ever wiii be in our midst to be our shieid and our stay. Then too, those daiiy prayers recited with those famiiiar Poters and Avesthave ever been the same., Those ciasses, hour after hour, have the tendency to repeat themseives regordiess of their changing methods. The days have come and gone and yet we find those some commonaiities that have made St. Benedict what it is todayl Q Another fact of the tradition and spirit that through the years this schooi has been biessed with has been the guidance of extraordinary ieaders, great priests and wonderfui teachers. These wonderfui teachers have given of their skiii, have opened ' vistas of appreciation, have manifested the giorious inspiration of their nobie tives, have given so generousty of those gifts of the heart, honor and kindness, courage and deiight. These are the precious things that the graduate of yesteryear cherishesi Won't you become aware of the greatness of the Benedictine tradition and spirit so that you wifi incorporate them into your pian of gracious iiiving? Take them out with you when you go from here and give them to the tworid, not piecemeai, but whoie- heartediy, as have those who have gone before you. Then you wiii be one with the countiess Benedictine graduates who have practiced Catholic Action and who are giving of this spirit in a service of iove. Again, you wiii be one with the hundreds of graduates in the various fieids of activity today, who have istinguished themseives because they have been motivated by the tradition and spirit of this schooi. , A Pray that this 'magic wiii touch your heart. When it does, hoid fast to it and tothe 470 r I ??XS'Qf'QWiS I IIE SSAGTE Y dear Graduates of 1947: Let me call your attention to the virtue of reverence. It is a very valuable and attractive human trait which some people trade away as foolishly as some others buy gold bricks or worthless mining stock. lt slips away from us unless we cherish it, and to treasure a virtue is made harder, especially when the warfare of life tends to roughen us. A boldness of speech and carriage may develop in us: as sometimes, a rash quickness to criticize, or to complain against traditions, or against older people, or against things once held sacred. These are signs, perhaps subtle but sure, of reverence fading. Guard yourselves against the loss. We all like to be liked. Only those who are ruthlessly ambitious could be happy with a worldly success that would make others honor them from a distance. We ordinary human beings would be miserable without friends who really like us for ourselves. If a popularity contest were staged now among ourselves and the vote could be kept secret, who would win? It would be someone kind-hearted and generous with the quality of reverence quite pronounced. A personality, domineer- ing or overbearing, repels us. But one that is unassuming, willing to give credit where it is due, with a humility that shows respect for the rights and feelings of others, who pays honor to the things and beliefs that we honor, attracts us. That same quality in ourselves will appeal to those who know us. Do not trade it off in an attempt to get ahead of others or to be known as a leader or as a superior being. Remain reverent especially of Holy Things, then in their order, of people who are over us or who should be preferred before us, and of older people, particularly our parents. Keep it a supernatural virtue by honoring the things and people whom God wishes us to honor. - Monsignor V.

To you who have helped us we owe our deepest gratitude for making these years such as we will never forget. Witli the help of God and a Firm spirit, we will challenge the future in a spirit that is truly Benedictine. Jw.

As we reminisce over these past liour years that we spent here, we have come to the conclusion that the time has flown only too quickly. l'iIRESlIlXlliNZ ln September I9-13, we, a group of bet wildered lireshmen, entered the halls of St. Benedict l ligh School lor the iirst time. VVe felt somewhat uneasy walking past the upper-classmen with our stacks ol' new textbooks. 'lihe subjects that seemed so foreign and remote now were a reality as we struggled with Latin translations and algebraic problems. Football, basketball, skating parties, and dances were a major part of this veir t . Somiotxtottusz Upon entering our second year of high school we carried with us little knowledge of the future. Could it be true that this was to be the toughest test of our high school career? Ur was this merely a legend handed down lirom year to year to deceive the up and coming, inexperienced freshmen? Much to our dismay we discovered the former statement one of truth rathei than that ol' legendary degree. 'lulius Caesar would have cursed the day he wrote about Roman lmperialism in Ciaul il' he had been able to listen in on one of our many lfnglish interpretations of his Latin writings. ln October ol' this same year both Sophomore classes enjoyed a weiner roast at Palmer Park. Our sophomore year will always remain memorable. IIIINIORSI Our junior year brought with it the realif fation that we were at last oi' some importance in our school. lirom the very lirst day of school, we began to launch our campaign to make this year's junior4Senior Prom the most memorable one St. Benis had ever wit- nessed. With hcartlelt enthusiasm we aimed to put across this important alliair and that of the juniorASenior Ilan- quet which was to be a separate celebration in the parish hall. Our time was taken up with the planning ol. skat' ing parties and dances, the proceeds ol' which went into our fund for the success ol' these two events. Vile began with selling Christmas cards and as a result made im pressive figures in our bank book. Our combined eilorts made it possible for our class to have the prom at the VVardell-Sheraton. Wliiit with football and basketball games to hold our interest the junior year passed swilitly and proved itself the most pleasant year we had yet experienced. SEN1ons: We accepted the title Seniors with the realization that bellore long our high school days would be mere memories. As the months passed we participated in various class activities including our liriday night dances and a skating party. Perhaps, everyone will agree that the highlight oi' the winter was our very successlul toboggan party. As the year was passing only too quickly, we tried to make the most ol' the last liew months. ln the spring our wonderful play, l.!Yl'Cl'lllL'V and Old l acc, became our greatest interest. VVe looked eagerly forward to the day of Commencement but also with a hidden sorrow in our hearts. The thought that soon we would be part of St. Benedictis history brought unashamed tears to our eyes, and we lielt, with a pang ol' regret, that our school days were ended forever. llowever, we have one consolation. VVe can always remember that last year in school as the most enjoyable one we had ever experienced. During these memorable years ol' our high school career, we have formed within our souls a greater devo' tion towards Cod and a keener outlook lor our unknon n liuture. hloulding our characters was the chiel' duty ol' our teachers and they have completed this obligation with unequalled skill. Our today is gone, our tomorrow is here. hlay these tomorrows be full ol' the golden promise which a well-spent lille will reap. olilddt MA all 35tCl.l'l'lel'lt By THERESA BRENNAN, DIANE LEQUIEP., AND THOMAS McCoLLoM We, the undersigned Class of 1947, of St. Benedict High School, being mindful of the uncertainties of this life, and being of sound mind and disposing memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare, this document to be our Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all wills and codicils heretofore made by us.

With a vain attempt to grasp a life-saving support we find ourselves deeply immersed in the all-important events of the year 1967. Gazing about we dimly perceive the familiar landmark - The Marion Lynch Department Store. Almost simul- taneously our vision clears and we see someone well- known cruising by in a new Studebaker. Although Pro- fessor G. Rochelle's every moment is occupied in figuring out a solution - the problem still exists. It is going for- ward, or is it going backward? Rushing through the photo-electric doors, who should we knock over but that early bird Bette Harris, our up and coming stock girl. After we retrieved the scattered parcels, we hailed a pass- ing rocket elevator. We zoomed up to the thirteenth floor in three breathless seconds, and before stepping off congratulated pilot Don Baur and his co-pilot Ray Yak- sieh upon setting an all-time record. Since the Tiny Tot's Department was but a few steps away we made that our first stop. As soon as we entered we were con- fronted by a collision between two kiddie cars driven by Mary lane Spoke and Dolores Kowalski. At that precise moment Charles Duma R.N. Cregistered nurseD appeared on the scene. With the situation well in hand, we ad- vanced to Madame Desellier's Fashion Shoppe. Here we noticed that personality saleswoman, Lena Recchia, busily engrossed in attending Maureen Ryan, the most talked about debutante in our fair, fair city. Our purchase completed we sauntered out of the building and rambled over to Hewitt's Hash House. Ushered in by Eugene Foss, that gallant doorman, we made a wild dash for the only empty table. Only thirty-seven minutes later those two efficient waitresses, Phyllis Kavanagh and Elda Susalla, actually took our order. At the top of the menu was chef Cronin's special for that day: CORN-AS YOU LIKE IT. The cashier Peggy Kane collected our money just before George Taggart dashed up with a message that the state representatives, Christine Valko and Anna Legarde, were returning from the Capitol. At LeQuier's dime-an-hour parking lot we maneu- vered our jet-propelled rug from between two of the most modern vehicles on the market- the OlNeill knee action pogo stick and the Conlin coaster. As we landed at the boat pier Vincent Longo was trying to drown out Paul Koroly and his Heaven Sent Beat Boys with the greatest news in sport history- HMCCOLLOM WINS OLYMPIC HONORS AS RUNNER? just then Skipper Le Breche, with the assistance of her first mate Doris Bodary, pulled the gigantic steamer into port. Confusion reigns Cdrip, dripb. Speaking of drip, here comes that famous Brazilian coffee manufacturer, Senor Potts, who is being interviewed by the star reporter, Ruthie Bernhardt To the right Betsy Guthrie and Matilda Mignacci, world famous game hunters, add to the turmoil by exhibiting to the crowd their latest discovery, a kangaroo with a zipper on its pocket! To the left we find Patty McGovern taking applications for the Tip Top club from Catherine Renfrow and Pat Hart. To our dismay we discover that the representatives had flown the coupe -Ford, that is, but their able secretaries, Lillian Cokesa and Helen Pochovich are of the greatest assistance. Directing our magic rug back to its little nest, we resume our trek up Canal Street where at the invitation of Captain McQuade, who was floating eastward on a huge cake of Ivory soap, we clambered aboard and transferred at Miller Avenue. At the interesection is jordonis 'iOpen-Air theater featuring Mary Basso, that famous Shakespearian actress. Aboard the bus we con- versed with the driver Pat Halloran about the coming election. Who of the two candidates, Gerry Wilhelm or Mary 'lean Antior, would be our new dog catcher? The argument becomes heated as we step to the rear of the coach where we are served hot Dunk Donuts and coffee by Dianne Stockman. Following the fashion of the day the bus collapses on its feet. Is there a mechanic in the house? Catherine Beer answers our call of distress and drags out her tool kit. Assisting with the operation, June Hill hands the necessary instruments to her. When the repairs were completed we went to the end of the line. There we saw Billy Foy and Tommy Millen en- gaged in a decisive battle of marbles. We turn away from the never-ending war only to be greated by Liz Kerr's query, Has Richard done it yet? Up the road apiece .loan Clem is experimenting in her little lab in order to create run-proof hose. In the telephone booth across the street Vinny Cooke is trying to find out how the little man in the phone returns nickels. Operator Yola Dugas courteously interrupts his attempts with the statement, Limit your call to five minutes, please. We decided to give our Weary bones a rest, so we summoned our current means of transportation and re- laxed for the trip to Gardinerls Hotel on Stevens Hill. Welcomed by our charming hostess, Dolores Ann Kowalski, we mosey up to the desk. Clerk Allan Roe gives us our key and instructs the bellhop, Angie Daum, who is energetically leaning against the wall, munch- ing on Vita-Boy potato chips, to show us to our suite. On the plush carpet on the lounge floor we see and pick up a letter to Florida bound Ida Morelli. We ask 'social- ite, ,lean Clem, to give it to the manager, she conde- scends to do so, and we move on. At the seventh floor we stop at the blood bank and receive plasma to enable us to get to the eighth floor. The label on the bottle shows us that our benefactor is Charles Camilleri. We slid up the banister and were in our room before one could say 'iLeona Marie Kutasivichf' the name that is on everyoneis lips. Theresa Tuljis, the maid, left our rooms with everything in order. There was a noise behind usg we turned around and saw Gerry Battersby just completing her day's work of window washing. Be- cause of Theresa Cjack BennyD Riecils loud rendition of 'fHumoresque, the house detective, Red O'Rielly,, found it necessary to quiet her down. We snapped our tele- vision set on to hear the last minute news by Marie Kamosis. Satisfied that the world would not end during the night, we shut it off and jumped into bed. Com- pletely relaxed, we lazily reached over for that best seller Ancient Rome by that brilliant authoress, Tess Bren- nan. Before we reached it, we suddenly awakened and realized that it had all been a dream, but what a pleasant one. We fervently hope that sometime in the future we will be so fortunate as to experience in reality, this fantasy of a reunion with our many friends of the Class of '47.

No. it is not the ierseys despite all their colorful brightness. which we will hold in reminiscence. but those boys who wore them so courageously. What they did this year will give them a place in everyone's heart. So often upon returning irom the games. we were. confronted with the question, Who won? Six out oi seven times we said, They did. Only once did we say excitedly. We did. If the scores were placed before a stranger. he would undoubtedly say that we had had an unsuccessful season. I say a stranger. because every loyal Benedictine would say that the score did not reflect in any way, the ioy and happiness that the season brought us. Today our football season is iust a memory. but a dear one. and one that we will cherish long after our school days are over. In leaving our football scorings we likewise leave a sincere and hearty Thank you to our ever- taithiul and staunch promoters and supporters. SCHEDULE N' .x we-it .W R.. -me 'I of i n IS... .. s . s is 55- 'L' l ' li tc' 1 it gwlfelgaf Swan By RAYlXlOND YAKSICII On November 18, 1946, the walls of the auditorium fairly shook as the St. Benedict Ravens went through their first practice of the 1946 basketball season. The future looked dismal as the team was put through its paces. After less than a month of practice, the Ravens took the floor in their first league contest of the season. Game after game this small St. Benedict team surprised many by meeting their opponents under heavy odds and emerging with striking victories. The Ravens entered a pre-season tournament and performed brilliantly to capture two out of three games, thereby winning a third place trophy. Although the team was hampered by a lack of height and by inexperienced players, they played a total of 21 games, winning 9 while losing 12. St. Anthony, De LaSalle, and St. Catherine, who are among the top ranking first division schools, fell in defeat to the Ravens. The students and all the followers of St. Benedict lligh knew well the handicaps of this hard-fighting team, yet they backed them with all their energy and this proved to be a major factor in the performance of the team. The season was climaxed by the annual juniora Senior game which was creating a high spirit of rivalry between the competing classes. The contest proved very thrilling with screaming action during the entire first half. Neither team was able to go ahead by more than two or three baskets. However, at the second half, the Seniors jumped to an early lead and were never able to be stopped. The final score was 53 to 28. We are looking forward to a very successful next year's season from this fast rising Junior squad. Although the Juniors have a great advantage in height, they will miss the consistent hard lighting of the five Seniors who draw the final curtain on their high school basketball career. 2 -6 5 i 3 5 ' A EES 153 ,Q ,W N .:, : H , 'fJ M may J 2 ,WW 41 'Y .gg 1 wwwmpgt W M.,-.-r'-A'g WWW? 232 ,M y .4 ,,... i 3? 5 R 1 5. 5!

A new start on new things. For a girl it's a little like- well . . . a little like being in the clouds, without any solid and accustomed ground. It means the adventure of building all over again, building on the foundation that years of school have meant. We know how it is, because every year so many girl J graduates find their place with Michigan Bell and l carve out a real place in the world of business with us. They find it a happy place to make a natural transition. Here at Michigan Bell you are almost certain to find some of your friends, and the kind of young men and women with whom you'll like to make new friends. Among all the pleasant things about telephone work, there are many sound business advantages-a variety of jobs, high starting wages along with a gradual learning processg regular and frequent wage increases, opportunities for advancementg understanding super- visorsg paid vacations, and numerous others. If you're a girl soon to finish school, and are thinking of entering business life, we of Michigan Bell would like to have you visit us prior to graduation so we can tell you all about our work.

Edison is the most famous. Yet the man who did so much for humanity never had more than a few years of formal education. Forced to discontinue school, young Tom Edison worked on the Grand Trunk railroad between Port Huron and Detroit. Fortunately for the world, his train had a daily layover of nearly five hours in Detroit. For Thomas A. Edison, high school and college were an ancient build- ing, the Young Men's Society Library, on Jefferson Avenue, a few doors east of Woodward. Between THE DETROI Y x P MH runs, he buried himself in its books, devouring them, not by subject or author, but by shelf and section. Throughout his life, this desire to learn was characteristic of Mr. Edison. At eighty, he was as diligent as he had been at eighteen. While few of us have his thoroughness and capacity for concentration, all of us can profit by his example. For Mr. Edison's life and works are clear-cut evidence that education need never stop with graduation or with the end of formal schooling. Despite the excellence of our high schools and colleges, that is as true in our day as it was in his.
