SIDMAN Climaxing three weeks of intense political campaigning, Robert LaMont, the flying Frenchman of 4B, swept to a landslide victory in the 1948 senior class balloting, carrying the rest of his party's ticket-Leo Wisniewski, Elio Carlini, Ray Borovich, and Ed Belin-into office with him. Pre-election predictions of ' apa, Behave' To Hit Boards Next Month The Footlights club will present Papa, Behave, a three-act comedy, on the boards of the Bene- dictine stage next month, accord- ing to an announcement by Father George, moderator. This will be the first time in the history of dramatics at Benedictine that this theatrically effective comedy will be produced. In choosing Papa, Behave, Father George and the thespians are departing from a practice pre- velant in recent years-that of working in co-operation with some all-girls school in the city. Papa, Behave is slated for an all-male cast of 13. Bennet Awarded 'All-American' The BENNET has been awarded the All-American rating for high school newspapers for the second consecutive time, according to an announcement recently made by the National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation. Issues submitted were those from Feb. to June, 1948. Ed Stei- gerwald edited four of the six issues, and Bill Cenkner edited the last two. Faculty adviser during the period was Father Luke. The faculty and student body express their deepest sympathy with Ralph Brannigan upon the death of his mothe1'. a close three-way race, among Jdin Hogan, Wally Wilgus, and Bob LaMont were swept from the realm of probability when tabula- tion began. In the final count, Bob polled 114 votes, more than twice the number of votes regis- tered by the other two candidates combined. Frenchman Wins Asked why he had run for of- fice, Bob replied, 'tIf an Irishman could run and win last year, I saw no reason why a Frenchman couldn't win this year. According to available records, this is the lirst time in the history of Ben- edictine high school that the French strain has had represen- tation in an office of the magni- tude of the one to which Bob was elected. Party Sweep Bob's running mate, Leo Wis- niewski, had almost as little dif- ficulty winning the class vice- presidency. He polled 53 votes more than his nearest rival, Louie Podesta. The Bengal ticket's lop- sided victory was made complete when Elio Carlini, Ray Borovich, and Ed Belin were respectively elected treasurer, secretary and sergeant-at-arms by comfo1'table margins. Oliveri Elected A C President Joe Oliveri, popular football, basketball, and baseball manager, was elected president of the Ben- gal Athletic club. Other officers are Ray Gembar- ski, vice presidentg Eddy Stakolich, secretaryg Chuck Noll, treasurerg and Ed Belin, sergeant at arms. Father Jerome, moderator, an- nounced a dance to be held on Friday evening, Oct. 29.

School Beasts 27 Resident Students Getting home, for the majority of Benedictine students, is no more difficult than stepping on a Cleveland Transit company bus or streetcar, but for 27 boarders the transportation problem is more complex. Six states and one European country are represented on the roster ot' boarders this year. Ohio has the largest represented, 135 Pennsylvania has five, Michigan three, New York two, and Illinois and New Jersey have one each. Two boys, Joe Bednar and Frank Sopko, are refugees from Czecho- slovakia. Ten students are putting in their final year as on-campus dwellers. They are seniors Rich- ard Cawley, Cyril Ciston, John Coyne, Bob Fabiny, Danny Hudak, Steve Luptak, Cyril I'ipan, Bernie Regets, Steve Sarisky, and James Rose. Kocab ls Hi-Hop Writer Appearing for the first time on news stands this month will be the teen-age magazine Hi-Hop. There will be a news column from each of the high schools in Cleveland. Benedictine's news col- umnist is Joe Kocab. Three Represent BHS Don Petrash, George Newman, and Wally Wilgus were chosen to represent Benedictine at the high schools' Community Chest meeting. Benedictineis quota will be about 55100, or ten cents per student. Visiting Benedictine Abbot Sees First Football Contest Res ardua est fthe thing is difficulty is what the Rt. Rev. Be nard Kaelin, O. S. B., abbot primate of the order of St. Benedict, wl is making his first United States tour, had to say about Americ: football during his first introduction to it at the Benedictine-East Tet game. It is apparent to Benedictine rooters that Abbot Kaelin was essentially referring to the game in its mo1'e general aspects, rather than to the Bengals' ability to score touchdowns. According to Father Mark, who interpreted the action in Latin, Abbot Kaelin was most impressed by the spectacle of organized high school sports in America. There is nothing comparable to it in Europe, Abbot Kaelin said in commenting on the bands, uniforms, cheerlead- ers, and hotdog salesmen. It is believed that Father Mark's commentary is the first time in the history of the game that a play-by-play account was given in Latin. The 72-year-old abbot primate, a teacher and educational leader for 30 years in his native Switz- erland, spoke to students and fa- culty at an assembly prior to the game. Speaking in German, French, and Italian, he expressed his pleasure in being at Benedic- tine.
