SEPTEMBER Students, Faculty, Director See Prospect ot No Marching Band The mighty Casey has not struck out, but still there is a gloom over many of the students and teachers at Benedictine. Why, then, the sadness? It is rumored that the Bengals may not have a marching band at their football games. Yes, for the first time in its phenomonal five-year history, the Blue and White band faces a labor shortage, and there- fore may play at the games from the grandstand only, without marching. This drastic step may be taken to spare the band and school un- necessary humiliation. For that's what it would be if a school which only three years ago fielded a 80- piece band, now is reduced to some 30-odd piecesg and this only be- cause 38 loyal Bengals who have playing and marching ex- perience refuse to lend their tal- ent to the school and come out for the band. Why do these boys stay away? Let's look at the possible reasons. 1. They lack equipment. This is untrue! In the band room there are uniforms that can compare with the best in the city, and there are enough for 98 boys. And asfar as instruments go, the school has many unused, and will supply more if needed. 2. Playing in the band and prac- ticing marching is a waste of time. This may seem the case to the boy who doesn't take time to think. By working with the other members of the band he is learn- ing to work smoothly with other members of a society. He learns to take correction for his mis- takes like a man. When others are not too considerate, he devel- ops the practice of patience and self-control. By being there on time, he strengthens the habit of punctuality and dependability. And through his 'continual practice either of playing or marching, he DADS' CLUB by Willis lneman The Dads' Club picnic and draw- ing held Sunday, Aug. 22, at Bas- ta's Grove was successful in every respect. From the thousand-and-some mothers, dads, sons and friends attending the picnic, the following received awards: Anna Brodnik, 1105 E. 64 Street, ia portable Ra- dio, David Hubeny, 3447 E. 50th Street, a table lampg L. Petkovsek, 696 Assison Road, an electric iron. becomes more accurate and prec- ise in what he does. All these things will be of benefit in after- school life. 9 xx' , 1 Q y 2 WFLTSQ 3. He gets nothing for his work. Although this is rather selfish, it is not true. Band members re- ceive letters or certificates for the year's work. Outstanding musicians are awarded Sousa pins. And the Benedictine band is one of the few tif anyj bands in the Alumni News by The Grad The twenty-five or thirty golf- ers played in the associationts first tournament at Granttwood Country Club, Sunday, Sept. 12. Arrangements for the affair were nade by John Thur '39 and Charles Buynak '40. Refreshments served at the 19th hole kept the whole party in good spirits. Army life has attractions for some of the '48 graduates. Charles Hlabse enlisted in the Army, and left Cleveland Aug. 21 to receive medical training at Fort Dix, N. J. and Bill Homonnay departed for the Air Corps base in San An- tonio, Texas, Aug. 24. Carl Uhler '48, John Mihalko '48 and Steve Galiardi '48 have all left to begin studies for the priest- hood. Carl is at St. Gregory's in Cincinnati, and John and Steve are at St. Procopius, Lisle, Ill. It Support Is Lacking city that are given a banquet at the close of the year. 4. He is losing interest. This can only be granted. Every- one's interests are subject to change, and to work consistently and well in the band demands a high degree of interest. But very often this excuse is used to cover up laziness, for doing any job well demands much hard work, and the band is no exception. The student body would like the 38 former band members in ques- tion to reconsider their reasons for staying away. Instead of see- ing them standing out, it would like to see them standing in and marching with the others. School Improved For Our Benefit Something new has been add- ed! That is what the students are saying about the redecorated school. The classrooms are painted sand- stone. The cafeteria is a combina- tion -of peach blossom and just ordinary green. Before you know it, we will have lace curtains on the windows and Persian rugs on the floors. All the halls are sunlight yel- low, thus making it easier for the hall guards to catch jock- ers. Aqua is the color in the mechan- ical drawing room and the study hall, with the library turquoise and the stairways ia striking Nava- ho red. A new macadam, or just plain asphalt Cto the ignorantj, drive and parking lot have been added. The treasurer's office was re- decorated and made larger to hold the large amount of shekels which keep coming in. A new chemically treated ce- ment floor was put in the locker room showers to prevent athlete's foot. disease. The new movie curtains in the caf were purchased through The Bennet staff and Club 15 from the proceeds of the Farewell Dance. However the best addition was a new clock and bell system which enables us poor souls to get out of school on tirne. Two Monks Will Get Maier Qrder Tomorrow Advancing one step beyond n' nor orders, Frs. Fabian and Lul will receive their first major ordc the sub-diaconate, tomorrow mor ing, following their six-day r treat. Fr. Fabian, a former memb of St, Stephen's parish in Syr ruse, N.
