wneclictine Hiqk S 2900 M.L. Kingjrfi CkveCand, Enrolment 372 (216) 421-2080 VoCume As we get older Playing by the Rules becomes more important and relevant In our ongoing trek towards manhood. As Freshmen, the rules are many. Pune- tuality is a virtue and foolishness will not be tol- erated. As our years of high school broaden, these rules become more taken for granted. While priv- ileges increase, so do the rules we must adhere to, as well as the consequences for breaking them. So as we become men, we must continue to Play by the Rules. During the senior retreat, some students take a breather while the others were in confession. The senior class, also, par- ticipated in the Stations of the Cross and had Mass that day. On a beautiful fall day, the entrance to Benedictine High School and St. An- drew’s Abbey cascades with flowers around the Holy Cross. 3 ACTIVITIES For years, Fr. Bede has been digging a hole for himself. The juniors helped put the finishing touches on the Kins- man playground project. MEN OF BENEDICTINE NOT ONLY DO WELL IN ACADEMIC CIRCLES BUT ALSO EXCEL IN THE SOCIAL REALM. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to do home- work, you qan just fail. You don’t have to eat, you can starve to death. You don't have to live in a house, you can wither away in the street. You don't even have to do tax- es, just go to jail. Like I said You Don't Have to Do Anything! — Tony Daher In the four years of playing sports at Benedictine, I grew not only as a play- er but as a person. — Anthony Fer- rone Mr. Francioli instructs his A.P. garbage removal class. This week's lesson plan included the finer points of waste removal. Taking a little time out of Ecology class, Mrs. Lewanski's students dem- onstrate good classroom discipline and etiquette. Wow! Look, a shoe. Some seniors take time out from art class to inspect a model of Mr. McCol- lough's shoe. 5 A person that presents himself not just as a teacher or priest, but also as a friend. No matter how busy he is, he will always lend a helping hand on whatever issue you present him. These references are to Fr. Anselm a teacher and priest. His reputation precedes him on and off of school time. His ability to speak fluent German is shared among many students here at Benedictine because he carries all the burdens of the German classes. But this is just the beginning of all the time he puts in for others. He moderates the German Club, the National Honor Society, the Travel Club, and S.A.D.D., as well as being the head of the Guidance Department. Fr. Anselm is also willing to help organize or chaperon a trip for anyone. All in all, the senior class just wants to show its thanks to a highly respected individual who supported us during our four years here at Benedictine and never gives less than 110% in whatever he does. Having had Fr. Anselm for four years of German, I’ve really gotten to appre- ciate all the little things he does for the students. — Paul Rogers He’s one of the less demanding teachers here, but his classes are always informative not only on German culture but for life in general. — Todd Calamita 6 During the senior retreat, Fr. Anselm begins preparation to hear the seniors confessions by putting on his stole Even with his tight schedule, Fr. Anselm takes time out of his lunch to welcome a visitor into his guidance office One of Fr. Anselm’s many ac- tivities includes teaching four pe- riods a day. Here he assists the German III class in preparing for the National ATG German Test. As a token of their appreciation Fr. Anselm’s dedicated German IV class Robert Peck, Todd Calamita, Jeff Raischel, and miss- ing Joe Zentner present him with a VCR for Christmas 7 Fr.

Honoring December, 1988, when Ben- edictine’s fall sports teams were honored. Members of the soc- cer, cross country, golf, and football teams along with the cheerleading squad joined with parents and friends to receive awards from their respective coaches. As usual the auditori- um was decorated beautifully with drawings of a member of each team done by Fr. Joachim. Previous to the awards ceremo- ny, everyone gathered in the cafeteria to enjoy another fine dinner prepared by Mrs. Koers. After dinner the people filed into the auditorium for the cer- emony. Varsity letters were giv- en to players who earned a spot on their particular varsity team. Special awards were presented to certain players who excelled in their sport. In football, Jim Rodak won the spirit award, Tony Ferrone won the Joe Ru- fus Memorial award, and Mike Kadlub was the recipient of the Fr. Florian award. The cheer- leaders each received a gift from their coaches as well as roses from the football team. With re- gards to the soccer team, Jeremy Martin received the Best Defen- sive Player award, while Mike Mivsek took home two honors as the Best Defensive Player and Most Valuable Player. On the cross country team, Walt Jack- son garnered the Most Improv- ed award and Bob Kehres was the recipient of the Most Val- uable Player award for the sec- ond consecutive year. -Mike Kadlub Senior Tim Zdanowicz presents the Cheer- leaders with gifts as a token of appreciation from the Varsity Football Team.

He was in Italy getting spaghetti. Wherever We Dago! Towards the close of the 1987-1988 school year a group of students independ- ently wanted to start an Italian Heritage Club. Due to inefficient time, proper meas- ures to insure the club's legitimacy could not be taken. However, at the opening of the 1988- 1989 school year, the same group of stu- dents went to work once again. Upon their request, Mr. Francioli became the moderator and got things rolling. A constitution and a set of bi-laws were established by the char- ter members and presented to Fr. Dominic who gave the O.K. for the organization to start. The next phase came with the election of the officers: Mike Kavalecz, President; Todd Calamita, Vice-President; Chris Grobelny, Treasurer; and Chris Cirino, Secretary. From then on the I.H.C. became very active. They've sold seat cushions at the football games with the proceeds going to- wards their field trips to the Art Museum, Mama Santa's and to the movie Naked Gun . They also had a successful car wash that deminished the price of their Toronto- Niagara Falls trip. I just hope all of this work wasn't wasted and the underclassmen continue to help the growth and activeness of the Italian Heritage Club. said President Mike Kavalecz. — Todd Calamita GERMAN CLUB Top Row: Matt Han- sel, Joe Zentner, Brian DiFranco Middle Row: Ryan Cook, Tony Cirino, Dennis Joherl, Joe Meyers, Tony Toth, Scott Zajc, Alex Slemc, Fr.

S.A.D.D on the rise Students Against Driving Drunk started off slowly this year. However, within the first month of school, many of the seniors realized the importance of a club like S.A.D.D. Membership increased dramatically and behind the guidance of Fr. Anselm, many activities were planned. In the early part of the year, S.A.D.D. members, along with the sponsorship of Pepsi, presented a multi- slide projection show that included such stars as Mi- chael J. Fox and rock group Van Halen. The theme of the presentation was that the American youth will have a great bearing on all future events. A soccer play- er from the U.S. Olympic team spoke to us briefly and then Pepsi representatives passed out t-shirts to the student body. S.A.D.D.’s second activ- ity was to attend a regional program at Painesville Har- vey High School. S.A.D.D. groups from four different counties attended the as- sembly. The topic dealt with giving and taking advice from peers. The speaker al- so emphasized the impor- tance of S.A.D.D.’s pur- pose. That is, members are obligated to show by exam- ple through actions and words that drinking and driving don’t mix. The members from Benedictine were thanked for their in- sightful ideas and contribu- tions to day’s program. In February, the S.A.D.D. group was invited to attend an assembly at So- lon High School. A slide show about the negative in- fluences of advertisements, especially alcohol, was presented to the group. Jim Joiner, a highly regarded speaker, talked about resist- ing temptation from peers and outside influences, such as commercials or magazine advertisements. He made it known to us that a major cause of teenage death is driving drunk. The S.A.D.D. members of northeast Ohio spon- sored a non-alcohol and smoke-free beach party at Club Dancin’ in Parma. The goal was to show teens that fun can be had without be- ing intoxicated. Overall, the beach party was a suc- cess for S.A.D.D. Senior Todd Calamita attended it and said, “It was good to see all the local S.A.D.D. groups working together for the same cause.” Although this year’s S.A.D.D. group is com- prised of mostly seniors, it has showed signs of growth over the course of the year and its members seem to be very active and respon- sible people. Students , Against Driving Drunk will continue to grow in the future and become a big part of the Benedictine tradition. By: Larry Witmer S.A.D.D.

This year’s classical day was de- cided by the last event, the Roman Chariot Race. Throughout the day, Mr.Francioli’s 8th period, “Medusa’s Maraders,” had a com- manding lead over the other three teams, but Mr. O’Hare’s 8th pe- riod, “Hades Hellraisers put on a strong skit in the drama presen- tation and finally clinched the vic- tory by winning the chariot race. “I like a Classical Day which is close and competitive and for the first time in years the chariots did not fall apart on the track.” said Mr. O’Hare. — Randy Loeser Gathering around their chariot, Dan Carcelli and the gang get psyched tor their tinal chariot race.

The excitement continued as the basketball began to bounce in the gym. The games were physical and the competition fierce. Junior 2 whose members were Butch Faircloth, Dave Schroeder, Bruce Coffey, Ryan Cook, Brian Schuster, and James Dixon ad- vanced to the championship game against Junior 1 of 6th period. Once again, the 5th period team won the game as their run-and- stun style of play was too much to handle for the Junior 1 team. Speed softball closed out the in- tramural season. Although the number of teams was sparse, the competitiveness of each team was reflected by it's play. Senior 1 of the 5th period advanced to play the Senior 2 team from 6th pe- riod. Senior 1 eventually won the championship indicationg the dominance of the 5th period teams. Senior 1 consisted of Selby, Milan, Zajac, Haluska, Ba- ca, Muttillo, Coreno, J. Brown, and Ferrone. — Larry Witmer T T nder the direction of Coach Bossu, the intramural sports season was another success at Ben- edictine. Several members of the student body joined together to form very competetive teams. The intramural season kicked off with speed football. The teams that participated were well balanced, but the juniors were the class to beat. Members of the 5th period- champion Junior 1 team were Dave Porter, Antoine Sales, Larry Cistrunk, Mike Bonomo, Brian Pendleton, and Shawn Dycks. They faced the Junior 1 team from the 6th period. Although the game was close throughout, the 5th period Juniors controlled the match and won the championship by a score of 12-9. The volleyball season featured some of the toughest competition and most exciting games in years. However, seniors took over during the playoffs and dominat- ed the event.

I , i Beach Party in the Gym History was made at Benedictine this year when the first annual Beauty vs. the Beast Volleyball Mix- er was held in April. This event was co-sponsored by Benedictine's and Beaumont's Student Councils and con- sisted of volleyball teams from schools competing in a round robin tournament culminating in a championship game with a $100.00 first prize. The tour- nament was held in the gym and was followed by a mixer. The mixer was the idea of the Ben- edictine Student Council who were try- ing to come up with a new way to work with Beaumont. They needed an idea that was fresh and would be supported by both schools. When the night of the mixer finally came, BHS had 28 teams and Beau- mont had 16. In addition, about 120 people who weren't on teams showed up and paid at the door. Play began at 7:00 and lasted until about 10:30. In between this time some of the most fierce volleyball competition ever. When the smoke finally cleared, Benedictine teams like The Deadly Da- gos, The Brotherhood, and The Col- onists had all bit the dust. The final victory and $100.00 went to the senior team from Benedictine known as the Five Unusually Crazy Kids + One which consisted of Mike Kadlub, Joe Russo, Jeff Thresher, Mike Mivsek, Larry Witmer, and fohn Sa- lem. If this does become an annual event, the Beaumont girls better start their training early or they'll find out once again that boys from Benny take their volleyball seriously.

That final, last dance that had been in the minds of every student since they had entered high school-prom. Whether it was wfio to go with, wftat kind of tux to rent, or where to go the next day, conversations about prom echoed thxougout the hallways. Tickets for prom cost $20 which included dinner at Executive Caterers at Landerhaven and pictures by Ripcfto Studios. Extra expenses included 6uying flowers, renting tuxes, limousines and 6uying afterprom refreshments. The majority of couples arrived at Landerhaven in Limousines. Once there, couples chatted with friends briefly before sitting down to tables of ten for dinner. After a filling chicken or beef dinner and a banana flambeau dessert, couples lined up to get their pictures taken. The line went by very rapidly and not much time was wasted! Once pictures were taken, students headed for the dancefloor. The D.J. spun a variety of songs and encouraged crowd participation and reguests sucft as the garter ceremony. Guys knelt on their left knee. Tfie girls lifted their dress while the garter was slowly removed by their escort and worn on their left arm. Senior Anthony Fomiti commented, “I thought the D.J. played a lot of really good songs. I was surprised because they played so many request.” To the disappointment of many, only a few witnessed the dessert on fire. Top Right.

Seniors End Four Years With Pomp and Circumstance The day everybody waited for had finally arrived. Between 1:00 and 1:15 Sunday, June 11, the graduating Seniors from the Class of 1989 trickled in through the cafeteria doors one by one. Baccalaureate was held on Tuesday, May 23, in St. Ben- edict’s Church which first fea- tured the yearbook dedication by Todd Calamita, followed by Valedictorian John Salem, Sa- lutatorian Joe Russo, and finally Peter Malave with the Mr. Ben- edictine title. Listening to fellow class- mates, John Salem, Joe Russo, and Pete Malave, the graduated recollected some of the good times they’ve had with their peers over the years. “Although this was my final day with Benedictine I can still clearly remember the day I stepped through the BHS doors for the first time. The years went so fast it seems like last week,” stated graduate Dan Cosgrove. When the procession left the church there were still flashes, film and music, but there were no more Seniors. Only gradu- ates. 29 Do You Remember ...? when Mr. O'Hare's Posieden's Sea Dogs should have won instead of the Legion of Thunder.(nice arm Patate) .. . when they taught us C.P.R. in freshman health?

They never both- ered us again. — Jeff Thresher The Benedictine Bengals have a proud tra- dition. Through education and religion, boys mature to become men. Athletics, too, is an important element in the developement of Benedictine Men. Determination, excel- lence, and success are all Bengal trade- marks. On the field, in the gym, or on the court the Bengals strive to become the best they possibly can. That is what PLAYING THE GAME is all about. 1 PH' � . .4. - W,. ■ i j 1 P L A Y — — — 1988-89 Tear in Sports Playing the Game; Bengal style Aug 4 Preparing for the Fall Games Soccer, C. Country, and Football T enedictine athletics were founded with hope, built up with hard work and continues with tradition. 1988-89 was no different. As in most past seasons it was exciting. It was filled with victory, defeat, and at times pain. It was made up of students, coaches, cheerleaders, parents, band members, trainers, and even a mascot. The experienced peaked and the in- experienced developed. Coaches taught and the athletes learned. Whether it was participating, coaching, or even watching; all of us in one way or another PLAYED THE GAME . Summer workouts began during this month. Th football team practiced at Luke Easter Park, an played in various scrimmages. Cross Countr stretched out their legs and built up their distana “The summer heat took its toll,” said Senior Gre Kobunski, “but in the long run it helped our stair ina.” Soccer began practices at an auxilary field a Mayfield High School. They scrimaged the Mayfield team several times and earned a split. “During th summer nobody wants to practice,” commented Sen ior Jeff Thresher, “You’d rather be out having fun You really have to push yourself during those 9 degree practices.” “I’d rather be at the beach,” sail Junior Scott Sharp.

Date-Dogging involves the use of verbal and intellectual skills to insult one's girlfriend.

With four state champion- ships and four consecutive post- season tournament births, football is the symbol that Benedictine is most readily identified with. The expecta- tions for this season were no different — To Win! The 1988 Varsity Football team, however, did not compare very well with the powerful teams of the pre- ceding years. The first game of the season was an indication that this team would stuggle. The Bengals were upset by John Hay 0-12. It was the first time in over 45 years that the Bengals had lost to John Hay. The Bengals then lost a defensive battle to Warren West- ern Reserve. Benedictine suffered a safety late in the fourth quater and went on to lose 0-2. For a while, however, the Bengals looked as if they would turn things around. They won three consecutive games. After outgaining Mansfield Malabar by over 250 yards, Benedic- tine cruised to a 33-0 victory. The Ben- gals also defeated Holy Name, 13-9. The Bengals then went on to victory against Fremont Ross 17-12. The tides turned once again though. The Bengals ran into powerful teams from Massillon and Akron. Massillon Jackson soundly beat the Bengals 7- 49, and Akron Hoban shut the Bengals out, 34-0. The defeats left them at 3-4. Although they stayed close, Bene- dictine could not find enough points and lost to Walsh Jesuit 7-12. Against St. Ignatius, the Bengals kept it close through the first half, but eventually lost 0-40. Benedictine closed the sea- son on a high note, though. They de- feated Cleveland Central Catholic 12- 0 to finish at 4-6 for the season. A major factor in the Bengal's poor performance were injuries. Senior starters Tim Zdanowicz, Jeff Raischel, Steve Selby, Marzell Pink, and Jim Rodak all suffered injuries which kept them out for parts of the season. Masked in the losing season, how- ever, was the development of young players. Several sophomores and even a freshman were starting by the end of the season. Sophomores Joe Rosalina, Chuck Kostrab, Bob Glori- oso, Predrag Jones, and Mike Clark all saw much action toward the end of the season. Even Freshman Jeff Kadlub was in the backfield before the season was through. The experience these players received this season will greatly improve teams of the near fu- ture. The Bengals should find them selves back in the playoffs shortly. Right. Senior Jim Rodak lines up against the St Ignatius defense. Below. Sophomore Child; Kostrab breaks away from the Walsh defense.

Joe Zentner, Joe Russo___________________________________ Only in existence for four years, the Bengal Soccer team owned one of the area'a best records (12-5-1) by the end of the regular season. We've developed quickly, said head coach Steve Brennen. With their record the Bengals qualified for a third seed in the sectional tournament. The Ben- gals received a bye in the first round and faced Rocky River in the second. Although they lost in an overtime shootout, the Bengals had a fine season. The loss was very dissapoint- ing, said Senior midfielder Joe Russo. We'd hoped to go far- ther, he continued. With seven third-year starters on the team, hopes were high. Poor pre-season scrimmage per- formances, though, raised some doubts. Greg Gatto, the team's most prolific scorer, graduated with his 50 goals. Once the season began, the doubts were gone. The team won their first three games and by mid — season they posted a 9-1-1 record. The victories in- cluded wins over St. Joseph, Cha- nel, and Aurora. The Bengals also faced arch-rival Hawken. They had beaten us twice in the previous year, commemted Senior fullback Joe Zentner. Hawken had eliminated us from the last sectional tournament. We wanted revenge, he continued. The Bengals defeated Hawken in fine fashion by shutting them out 2-0. The decisive goal came on a 65 yard shot by Junior midfielder Scott Sharp. It was my most memorable win as a Bengal, said Senior midfielder Jeff Thresh- er. The Bengals closed out the reg- ular season by recording four more shutouts. This was in most part due to the outstanding play of the defense, especially Senior goalie Jeremy Martin. Jeremy held his opponent to one goal or less 14 times. Eight times they failed to score even one goal. Jeremy recorded 158 saves on over 250 shots on goal. He allowed only 19 goals in 18 games. The rest of the defense in- cluded Zentner, Juniors Dennis Perkovic and Tony Toth, and Sophomore Mike Cherosky. While the defense was busy holding their opponents to 19 goals, the offense was chalk- ing up 64 of their own. Senior forward Mike Mivsek account- ed for 34 of them. Mike also led the team in assists. During his three years in the soccer program, Mike has scored over 70 goals and has assisted on almost 50 more. Junior Matias Ferrario scored 14 goals. To- gether with Mivsek, they com- bined for 75% of the team's goals. Freshman Dennis Be- lusic added four goals. The midfield held the team together. It consisted of Seni- ors Joe Russo and Jeff Thresh- er, Junior Scott Sharp, and Freshman Dave Keane. The midfield's aggressive play wore down opponents. With returning Juniors and talented freshmen the team should be strong for many seasons. The coach, Steve Brennen, still owes the team pizza from the 1987 season. — by Joe Zentner For The Record 1988 Varsity Soccer 12-5-1 B.H.S.

However, there were great individual accomplishments also. Mivseh got a secure hold on the record hook after surpassing Greg Gatto's marks of a year ago. It feels good to have set records, said Mivsek, hut the record that mat- tered most was 12-5-1.

The squad of nine, coached by Mr. Cy Levkanich, finished with a respectable record of (8-2). The team, made up of seven vets and two rookies, gave coach Lev his 18th consecutive win- ning season. Given the limited amount of experience and members, the team did a very commendable job, said Coach Lev. They exceeded my expectations, he continued. Returning for the Bengals were Seniors, Chris Fontanella, Chris Grobelny, and Greg Kobunski, Junior Amir Bell, and Sophomores, Bob Kehres, Walter Jackson, and Dan Putka. Mike Mozina, and Jim Zajc were the team's rookies. Our strong point was consistency, said Senior Chris Grobelny. After beginning the season with a (2-2) record, the Bengals went on to win 6 straight duel meets. In addition, they constantly finished in the upper half of the teams competeing at the invitationals. Sophomore Bob Kehres emerged as the team's work-horse. He would finish with times usually put up only by upperclassmen. The high point of the season came on Sept. 30, at the Gilmour Invitational. After a two year absence, the Bengals returned to take 1st place. The Bengals arived at Gilmour expecting to com- pete in the small school division . The Benedictine enrollment allowed them to qualify for this position. Organizational mix-ups, however placed them in the large school division . The team did not expect to do well. To the surprise of everyone, however. the Bengals went on to win the tournament. That win felt great, said Greg Kobunski, It gave us an added lift for the rest of the season. On October 22, the Disrict meets were held. The Bengals ran in the Kent State-Geauga Branch and placed 10th. Even though they didn't finish in the top 5 (the top 5 teams advance to the regionals), they kept the Benedictine winning tradition alive. Kehres, the team's 1 runner missed advancing to the regionals by two places. We didn't expect much from this team, said Grobelny. Injuries and inexperience hampered us all season but we gave it our best.

The Highest Rule The Cavs had an outstanding season, and were the center of Cleveland's sports scene.

I wanted a good feature story for the sports page,'' said Ed, ''We chose the Cavs because that's what students would be most interested in. Ed was able to visit with the Cavs during a practice, and he talked to Harper after their workout. Left. During the winter months students took sports indoors. Pick-up basketball games were popular during the meeting period and lunch. Volleyball was also popular. Both of these sports could be played through the intramural program. Making Rules of Your Own This year many Benny students participated in sports outside the school. Some, such as Senior Jeff Thresher, took to the ski slopes. Jeff competed in many ski events in Utah, Colorado, and Idaho. ''Have fun at extreme angles.'' Jim and Bob Kehres joined a hockey league and Mike Kavalecz taught Karate. Many other students were involved; these are just a few. After completing the most successful soccer season in Benedictine's history, the Bengals took their talents indoors. The outdoor season was 'sweet'. said Senior Capt'n Mike Mivsek, We had a great team, so we decided to keep playing together. The soccer team joined a winter league at the Force Fitness Institute. The team played every Monday or Wednesday during the months of Dec., Jan., and Feb. We really didn't enter this league to win, said Junior Scott Sharp, we just wanted to have some fun and stay in shape. The Bengals, however, continued their winning style. Most of the teams we played had experienced indoor players. commented Senior Joe Russo, We were used to playing outdoors. We tried to intimidate them, though, with our hustle. After a slow start, the team began to improve. Their aggressive style of play earned them a second seed in the league's championship tournament. We had the talent, said Senior Joe Zentner, it just took us a few games to pull it together. The season reached a climax during the first play-off game against Elite. At the end of regulation the score was tied at seven. League rules sent the game into a sudden death shootout. Months earlier, the Bengals had been eliminated from the state tournament in a similar situation. We weren't going to lose another game that way, said Mivsek. After the two teams traded off shots, Freshman Rony Rigeur fired a rocket passed the Elite golie and sent the Bengals into the championship game. In the championship game the Bengals faced the Internationals. The Internationals were a collection of All-Stars from both the East and West sides. The Bengals led the the title game through the first half, but eventually fell short 5 to 7. It was an exciting end to a great season of soccer at the Home of the Champions. any seniors and juniors went to court this year-the basketball court that is. Basketball has always been popular among Benedictine students; and for a variety of reasons many of them joined the Cleveland High School C.Y.O. league this year. Most of the guys who joined didn't have time for Varsity Basketball or they couldn't make the team, said Senior Larry Witmer. Larry played for Our Lady of Mt. Carmel along with Mike Kadlub and John Salem. Other teams, besides Mt. Carmel, which had B.H.S. players on them were St. Gregs, Gesu, and St. Margaret Mary. The teams practiced two or three times a week after school and played league games on Sundays at St. Gregs. In addition to the regular season games, many schools sponsored tournaments. The tournaments were open to the C.Y.O. teams, and many Benny students actively participated. We were in 4 or 5 tournaments this season, said Senior Ed Haluska, a member of the St. Margaret Mary team, We won one and finsished around the top in the other ones. At the end of the season, St. Margaret Mary boasted the best Cleveland area C.Y.O. record. This placed them in a statewide tournament against other C.Y.O. teams from Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and Columbus. The Margaret Mary team advanced to the second round where they were defeated by a team from Columbus. I played ball for Benedictine my sophomore year, stated Senior John Salem, but I enjoyed the C.Y.O. league more because it wasn't as formal and I could show off the moves that I couldn't while sitting on the Benedictine bench.

The Bengls took a 7-13 regular season record into the playoffs and won their first three playoff games only to lose by two points to a very strong Solon squad on Solon's home court. Led by second year head coach Frank Novak, the Bengals began the season with a promising 5-5 record but proceeded to drop eight of their ten remaining games including losing their last seven in a row. It seemed as if the hoopsters were losing games they should have won and beating a few teams with better records. For example, the Bengals second win of the season came in their fourth game against Western Reserve Academy. The Bengals won this one in a 93-65 blowout but, only five games later, the squad dropped a 65-62 overtime decision to WRA, a game they should have won easily. The Bengals also should have handled Gilmour easily but lost a late lead only to be beaten 105-102 in overtime in one of the most exciting games in Benedictine basketball history. A few surprising victories for the Bengals which no doubt boosted team confidence were wins over a strong Cleveland Central Catholic team and very highly touted John Marshall. Speed and team quickness were the strongest points of this team, commented Coach Novak. The team however lacked consitency. This was proven as the cagers lost the final seven games of the season. Led by Seniors Ken Early and Keith Brown, the Bengals pulled together in the playoffs though. Brown led the team in assists during the regular season while Early averaged nearly 20 points per game. Junior forward Dave Porter led the team in rebounds during the regular season, but Senior Chuck Black pulled down the most boards in the post season tournament. Porter also led the team in three point shooting. Undoubtedly, the playoffs were the brightest spot of the season. The Bengals surprised everyone but themselves. I wasn't really surprised with our results, said Coach Novak. We were a good team, but we had played an extremely stong schedule. Playing the tough teams, though, helped us in the tournament. The first sectional game proved to be a nailbiter. At the end of regulation the score was tied at 66. The Bengals went into overtime to defeat Copley 73-70. Early led the scoring with 15. The second sectional game was also close as Twinsburg gave B.H.S. a run for their money. Dave Porter's 18 points, including 4 three pointers, turned out to be the deciding factor in an 85-81 Bengal victory. The Bengals advanced once more in the Districts, de- feating Kenston in the final seconds by a score of I 63-61. The final game of the season came against Solon at Solon in the District tournament. This hard fought battle saw Junior Carl Panned takeover scoring reins with a game high 22 points. It wasn't enough though as the Bengals dropped a heart- breaking 60-62 loss in the closing seconds. Had they won, the Bengals would have faced West Geauga who went on to finish 2nd in the State tournament in Columbus. Although the graduating Seniors will be missed, the future looks bright. With nine guys back next year, I really expect to have a winning season, finished Coach Novak. — by John Salem Below. Senior Keith Brown drives to the hoop for two against Copley.

Dude! added John Browne. During the regular season, Dads, Moms, and several loyal students cheered on the Bengals. Once Benny made it to the playoffs, though, attendance rose. More and more students began to turn out for the games. The fans could be seen yelling, clapping, and stomping on the bleachers; all in an effort to cheer the Bengals on to victory. It got very intense at times ' said Senior Todd Calamita. The games would go back and forth between us and them. You could feel the excitment. Above.

Bowling Season Disappoints This year's Bowling team linished with 9-6 record in the handicap division. It was an average year for us, stated coach Bro. Theodore. We lost two bowlers to graduation, he continued. I felt that the students who replaced them were better bowlers, yet we didn't fare as well as we did a year ago. The fact that Benedictine has a bowling team is unique. As far as I know, we belong to the only high school bowling league that exists in Ohio. said Bro. Theodore. The Greater Cleveland In- terscholastic Bowling League is composed of 14 teams. The 14 teams are divided into two divisions of 7. These teams are composed of both public and private schools and compete in three categories: The Scratch standings, the Handicap standings, and the Match standings. Although the team finished with a respectable record in the Handicap standings, they did not fare as well in the other standings. The bowlers scored a 7-12 record in the Match division. Their 4-12 record in the Scratch division was good for 6th place. Although they improved their scores in the Scratch standings over last year, they were not able to defend their Handicap crown, as they finshed 4th. The team had an average of 157. The season started off strong with a victory over St. Ignatius. After three consecutive losses the bowlers rallied to beat Holy Name and Valley Forge. The rest of the season was up and down. Much to my dismay, there was not an over- whelming turn-out at tryouts, said Bro. Theodore but by the same token I did not have to anguish over who to cut. Every student who showed up for tryouts made the team. Even Chuck Black, who alternated between Varsity Basketball and Bowling was a member of the team. It was tough making time for both sports, but after all I am an athlete, and athletes make sacrifices. stated Chuck. This year's team was made up of 4 returning lettermen and two rookies. Leading the team was 4 year letterman, Joe Meyers. Joe was captain of the team both his Junior and Senior year. This year Meyers led the team in all statistical categories.

Sophomore Paul Bacho was second on the team with a 159 average. Damien Johnson, Tom Kaliszewski, and Mike Kavran all had averages in the mid 150's Mike Kavran was second on the team with four 200-or better games.

Individuals highlight Season Although they didn't quite live up to their preseason expectations, the varsity wrestling team did have an exciting campaign as well as several major individual accomplishments, which made the season one to remember. One of the most notable was Bill Carcelli's impressive fourth place showing at the state tournament in his 130 pound weight class. The team was a blend of hungry returning veterans and enthusiastic rookies. Along with the Juniors and Sophomores, four Seniors were back on the squad. Returning Seniors included Bill Carcelli, Marty Gray, Marzell Pink, and Jim McAdams. Expectations were high at the start of the cam- paign. The team itself maintained its usually tough schedule. They faced off against powerhouse teams from St. Joseph and Padua. Two quick losses, however, dampened the grapplers hopes. The team's confidence was lacking. The Bengals never regained the killer instinct, and as a team finished with a record of 4-6-1. Facing off against tough teams will only help us for the coming years, explains Junior Derek Wrobel. It will prepare us to expect tough matches from everyone we face. The wrestling team finished with respective showings in the Invitationals. They placed 14th out of 19 teams at Solon. In this meet they scored 77.5 points. At Richmond Hts, the Bengals scored 96 points and finished 9th out of 22 teams. The Bengals finshed 12th of 24 at the Catholic In- vitational and scored 70.5 points. The high point of the season was Carcelli's trip to state. It was one of the most exciting moments in my life, said Bill, The team and coaches supported me all the way. In addition to his fine tournament showing, Carcelli also won the Rich- mond Heights Invitational outright. He defeated longtime rival Matt Mussarra, who defeated Bill in the previous year's tournament. That victory gave me the confidence to get to where I got in the State Tournament, adds Bill, It was a big win for me. In addition to Bill, there is another Carcelli at Benedictine who is destined to follow in his broth- ers' footsteps. Dan Carcelli also won his weight division at the Richmond Heights Tournament, as well as making an impressive regular season showing. Although he didn't have the greatest regular season, Marzell Pink beat the odds. Pink made a big comeback from a devestating leg injury suffered during the football season. I worked hard, and with Coach Al's help I made it back, responds Marzell. He ended the season with a respectable record as well as the admiration of the wrestlers and coaches alike. The coaching remained intact as Coach Ron Alexander headed the Varsity team, while Coach Brian Nolan led the Junior Varsity squad. This year a Freshman team was also added. Benedictine graduate Anthony McCul- lough was the Frosh's coach. McCullough's highlight, next to making little coil pots, was seeing Freshman Don Disenza win a tournament. It was my first tournament winner as a head coach, responded McCul- lough, I'm real proud of all the guys on the team. With four Seniors moving on after grad- uation, the leadership role will have to be assumed by returning Varsity Juniors. The Juniors will really have to lead the team next year, added Pink, The teams success will depend on how they accept the challenge. — by Alex Slemc Coach Ron Alexander explains to his wrestlers the importance of confidence, determination, and the price of Milk Duds i I; i i i ! i i I; Dan Carceili Victory! Hob Glorioso The Wrestling Tradition The Bengal's two most successful wres- tlers this season were brothers Bill and Dan Carceili. This year, as Bill leaves to attend college, his brother Dan is the last remaining piece of the Carceili Dynasty for the Bengal Wrestling team. Previous to Dan and Bill's accomplishments, their broth- er Lou started the trend which his two younger brothers would soon follow. When Louie started wrestling in 6th grade, Danny soon followed, explains Bill, I played basketball during that time, but after seeing the other two wrestle, I had to jump in. Because of our small size, wrestling could accomodate us, comments Dan, It's a contact sport, so it's physically and men- tally demanding. Being brothers also helps Dan and Bill's performance on the mat. Before a match, we always get ready together, explains Dan, we slap each other's faces and when I'm wrestling I always know if I look to my corner Bill will be there. As Bill leaves Benedictine, he takes with him a host of accomplishments and trophies. Being Richmond Heights, Solon, and Sec- tional Champion all helped on Bill's road to the State Title. At state, he finished fourth overall in the state of Ohio. Also, the brothers share the same opin- ions on their coach, Ron Alexander. Coach A1 was my inspiration for all of my success here, adds Dan, he means a lot to both of us. — by Alex Slemc. Below. Junior Chris Peduzzi drops his opponent to the floor. Below.

HP he national pastime, pain, and Resse’s pea- nut butter cups all have one thing in com- mon: Benedictine in the spring. During the months of spring Coach Alex- ander sold candy to support the wrestling pro- gram. The Bengals licked their wounds, and the baseball team began preparation for the season. Hopes for a state tournament bid were erased by Painsville Harvey. But the baseball season as a whole wasn’t that bad. The track team had its moments as they took 2nd place at the All- Catholic meet. The team also acquired some much needed experience. Benedictine’s intramural program continued in the spring. Although the faculty student game was cancelled due to weather many stu- dents still enjoyed the speed softball tourna- ment. After my knee in- jury I realized there is more to life than foot- ball; but I haven't been able to figure what that is just yet. — Tim Zdanowicz ■part of Playing the Game is suffering injuries. Every time an athlete steps onto the field or court he takes the risk of getting hurt. “Injuries come with the sport,” said Senior Joe Russo, “When you get hurt you tape yourself up and get back in the game.” Joe had the pleasure of receiving 32 stitches after gettind his leg caught on another player’s cleat dur- ing a soccer game. The following aay, he started against Rocky River in the Bengals first Sectional game. “At the District meets I had to run on a broken leg,” said Senior Cross Country member Chris Grobelny. “My leg had been hurting all season; but I didn’t find out about the stress fracture until after the race. Even Kobunski passed me on that day!” he continued. Every Bengal athlete has played with pain at one time or another. Injuries are a Part of the Game . The thing that sticks out most in my mind when I think about my injury is my crutches. Every time I'd turn around someone else was us- ing them as a toy. Some test- ed how they felt, others tested how far they could vault themselves and some people even pretended to be crippled. The only person who doesn't enjoy crutches is the person who needs them.

What Do You Mean Band Isn't a Sport Funding the Game To raise money last year, the wrestling team held a year-long candy sale. “The profits were so good that we decided to carry it over into this year.” said wrestling coach Ron Alexander.

Errors Cost Varsity Baseball A fter a disappointing '88 season, the Varsity Baseball team showed great character and put together an impressive 9-6 record. Astonishing many, the team came out and swept their first three games of the season. But then inconsistency plagued the Bengals as shaky defense and poor hitting led to their losing 4 of their next 6 games. One test of the Bengals defense came against University School with the score 7-6, bases loaded, and nobody out in the bottom of the sev- enth. It looked as if poor defense would spoil their seven-run explosion in the third, but the Bengals held on to win behind a strong outing by senior pitcher Joe Stuczynski. Our defense wasn't really up to par but Joe really pulled us out of a jam, said second baseman Larry Witmer. Against a highly touted Euclid squad, the Bengals really showed their defensive inconsistency as they dropped an embarrassing 13- 2 decision. The Bengals simply beat themselves with poor defensive play. While offense looked good against Orange, the defense wasn't there and despite a courageous comeback in the late innings, the Lions held on to win a 9-7 decision. However, everything fell into place against Garfield as the Bengals put good offensive and defensive effort together. Senior Shi- loh Turner took the win as Benedictine trounced Garfield 12-4. Every inning wasn't smooth, but when we needed the big defensive plays we got them, Turner said. That boosted my confidence and I was able to pitch a good game. Against Chanel, the Bengals went right down to the wire but dropped a disappointing 8-7 loss. Joe Stuczynski had another fine outing but couldn't get enough defense to back him up. While the defense never came around, one bright spot was the Bengals offense, led by Senior Captain Tim Zdanowicz, who hit nearly .600. By the time sectionals rolled around, the team showed more promise. After the team defeated Aurora, they advanced to play Berkshire. With strong pitching from Senior Joe Stuczynkski an clutch hitting from seniors Larry Witmer a.id Tim Zdanowicz, the Bengals defeated Berkshire 8-5. The team standing in the way of a trip to was Painesville-Harvey, a highly ranked team. The ballclub played one of its finest games of the year, but they lost this 12-inning heartbreaker 4-3 which ended the Bengals comeback season. Experience and unity were the two keys to the J.V's turn-around from last years club. With 7 returnees from last years squad, all aspects of the team improved, especially in pitching. Strong start- ing pitching from Sophomores Eric Fiening and Joe Rosalina and Freshman Darren Porter paced the squad to an 11-3 record. The J.V.'s started the season with a bang by winning 4 of their first 5 games before losing a heartbreaker to G.C.C. powerhouse Euclid, whose last loss was to last year's J.V. squad. However, they continued their winning ways for the re- mainder of the season, going 5-2 and outscoring their opponents 51-35 in their final 7 games. As the J.V. team turns into next year's varsity team, one can only feel that this team will be a strong contender and a feared team in the future. — by Randy Loeser f r e 7 e e e y a ;e , !• g y a !I ) While the defense struggled and hitting was incon- sistent, pitching was the team’s strongest point. Seniors Joe Stuczynski, Jim Rodak, and Shiloh Turner, and Junior Butch Faircloth were the mainstays of the Ben- gals rotation. Stu was the team’s top pitcher and kept Benedictine in many games.

Year of Growth for Track T7 ven though it doesn't - necessarily show in the record book, the 1989 Benedictine Track Team was a success for a num- ber of important reasons. Last year's freshmen and sophmores, both young and inexperienced, com- peted in the bulk of the events this year. With the experience gained dur- ing the season, they should be primed for next years campaign. Also, this year, the team's level of competition remained at its usual intense pace. The team continued to run against large AAA schools and held their own against them. Dur- ing the season, the 4x100 relay squad, comprised of Keith Brown, Amir Bell, Jamie Evans, Tom Freese, and, later, Elmore Washington, had very impressive show- ings, including a 2nd For the Record Varsity Track B.H.S.

Hard work and long hours of practice are rewarded with excellence on the field. Par- ticipation, though, extends beyond the few stu- dents playing the game . Coaches, trainers, and parents all have a stake in the action. At times, they are even more dedicated than the players. The Bengal mascot, cheerleaders, the band, and student crowds root the athletes on to victory. Many others go unnoticed also, because they are the people who support the game .

Cheering the Bengals on to victory The Benedictine cheerleaders were an energetic and spirited group. They supported the Bengals through the ups and downs of the 88-89 campaign. We had a good time, said Lyn- nette Pizmoht, a Senior cheerleader from Notre Dame. Although the football team had a disappointing season, we had fun cheering on our favorite team. The season was not all enjoyment, though. The cheer- leaders put in much hard work and practice. To raise money for camp and treats for the football players, they sponsored a car wash at a local gas station. They also spent many hours in the wrestling room perfecting their cheerleading skills. The cheerleaders promoted spirit by painting signs for the cafeteria and decorating the field for home games. The basketball cheerleaders were the teams most loyal fans. Even when student turn-out was low, the cheerleaders could be heard rooting the cagers on to vic- tory. They livened up the gym and supported the team into the play- offs. — Lynnette Pizmoht The Bengal Roars ■ Phe biggest Benedictine fan • wasn't a student, or a teacher, or even a priest; it was an animal. The Bengal mascot was seen at football and soccer games. He was the loudest and most intimidating fan Benedictine had. In reality, though, the mascot was not a ferocious ben- gal tiger; it was Senior Mike Deck. Mike braved the rain, the blazing sun, and even opposing crowds to carry on the Benedictine spirit. Jun- ior Dave Batista also dressed as the Bengal, in Mike's absence, for cer- tain footbal games. The Bengal was sponsored by student council. ABOVE.

With the coming of second semester, the dreaded syndrome hits high schools nationwide, going by many names — Senioritis, Se- nior Slump, Senior Swoon, 2nd Semester Blues, etc. In general, seniors just seem to have their priorities in different places. There are many telltale signs — sleeping in class, going home empty-handed, finding humor in poor grades, and the adoption of an “I don’t care, as long as I graduate” attitude. Nobody knows exactly what causes this strange phenomenon, but one thing is for sure — it is not going away. Faculty swear they can combat Senioritis, but there is no defense. Senioritis is here to stay. As one famous American put it: “There are only three sure things in life — death, tax- es, and Senioritis.” — Ma Frick- er.

It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. It was ar- guing in Father Ben’s class, it was laughing in Father Joe’s class. It was 1989 — The Year of the Senior. After all the smoke of the ’88-’89 school year has cleared, the Benedictine graduating class of 1989 will be able to safely say that they have become members of an elite, respected group — the Men of Benedictine. The class of 1989 wit- nessed quite a few changes around the school including Mr. Rufus’ retirement and the subsequent hiring of Mr. Russ as the athletic director, the installment of govern- ment lunch programs, the completion of the new “B” in front of the school, and who can forget the Infamous U.S. History Reader in Mr. Czazsar’s History class. Despite the changes, the class of ’89 also will remem- ber the many mainstays of BHS, such as Father James’ Michael Asseff Richard Baca Matthew Bakaitis William Bartsch John Browne Mark Buchanan Neil Burke Todd Calamita Joseph Callahan 74 study halls — “I will practice and appreciate ...” (you know the rest), Mr. Czazsar’s movies — “AH right, no sleeping during class or that’s a demerit!”, and of course Mr. Russ’ freshman English class — ‘‘Don’t get me wrong, gentlemen, as long as you are in my pres- ence, you’ll be considered DUDEI Paul Rogers and Jim Rodak prepare for classes before home- room. pondscum.” While the class of ’89 has much to remember, they also leave behind much to re- member. The School will al- ways recall the sense of fam- ily these men portrayed which has become a tradition forming the spirit of B.H.S.

However, play- ing by the rules was just not quite as fun as bend- ing them a little. We can all remember the little things which made the school day a little more bearable, if not a little more illegal. For exam- ple, what would the can- dy drives be like without eating all the profits dur- ing theology lectures? Or how about History and Physics without a little nap? Here’s one you probably don’t remem- ber: waiting for Father Chris to ask a question about the history chapter we were supposed to have read, then looking up the answers at the spur of the moment. Chemistry class was also an interesting experience, but could you imagine the boredom if we never had a supply of alcohol with which to ignite an im- promtu blaze? Biology had its own share of non- acedemic activities, chief among them being the to- tal dismemberment of the animals being dissected. All in all, we can safely say that bending the rules' and getting away with it didn’t get you a better grade, but it certainly made the day slightly less monotonous. I )|i as I The Rules of Mankind The rules of na- ture are rigid and defined. The uni- verse acts In mys- terious yet pre- dictable ways. The rules of man- kind are far more flexible. Logic, be- lief, and faith all play roles in In the development of rules, ethics, or laws of man. Those rules, how- ever, haven’t been come by eas- ily nor will they be easy to attain. The continual growth of man is dependent upon people who make rules a part of their lives. Whether people are conservative or liberal, we must realize that the evolution of Law is dependent upon both sides. When one swings a pendulum one way he intends it to return to the center. So forth, when we wish to grow, we mus- trespect both paths for their at- tempt to bring man to the perfect middle.

The annoying 1st period announcements ranked second. Many students also claimed that they were fined when the faulty parking fee collection system didn’t record their morning payment. No- body’s quite sure where the money goes anyway, and many suspect they are sup- porting other school organizations Once again the cafeteria scene was dim with the return of double-death burgers, steak nuggets, and those yummy fish sandwiches. The situation was worsened by the cut to one lunch line resulting in long, time-consuming lines. As far as food matters, ketchup was a scarce commodity, and its non-presence caused near-rioting on several occasions. Hostess products and ice-cream were missed by all, and the recent price changes hurt everybody’s budget. The library continued to be a large prob- lem. Many felt that in addition to the li- brary’s lack of materials, the presence of the computers seriously detracted from a proper library atmosphere. Also, help from certain librarians were not available due to their incessant game-playing ad- dictions. Ah well, The Tradition Continues Senior privileges received a tremendous low this year. Seniors lost the Senior Dunge as well as the privilege to forego tending study halls. The administration ,ated last year’s class caused $300 dam- le but failed to recognize that this year’s ass was not last year’s. Also, it was blind ) the fact that with proper moderating of le lounge, it could have been a success as place for those who just wanted to relax, his effort would have freed up the study all and library for those who wanted to yudy quietly. Censorship of the Yearbook seriously urt last year’s effort. Last year’s book, n.e of the finest in years, was gutted . . . y school administration. Several obscene lub pictures in which students had mal- aciously thrown ties over their shoul- ers, winked their eyes, made hand ges- ures, and performed other indecent acts re re pulled so that multiple shots of our luch more fun, and easy-going Bengal ould be substituted. The administration rgues that the pages were handed in late nd the lack of replacement photos were t cause. The parking lot was another institu- tion Seniors found fault with. A year after a fence was erected in order to prevent widespread car thievery, the pain of paying the exorbitant rate of $25 a year has left many angered in light of the parking lot’s shortcom- ings.

A motley crew of travellers gather for one of many school-sponsored trips this year. 82 - I Playing the Field Women. You can’t live with them, you can’t live without them. Or can you? The class of ’89 has many opin- ions. People such as Pat Krejci and John Browne have seen quite a few girls in their years at Benedictine. John says that it’s good to experience a lot of people. He says that playing the field is fun because you “do what you want, and if they don’t like it, who really cares?” Yet he does admit that he has had two exclusive relationships. He says that knowing she will always be there and that she’s a close friend you can really talk to is a comfort. “I found someone that I really got along with, and I really liked,” says Joe Zentner. “Why look for other peo- ple when you are happy as you are?” He does, however, admit that he will definitely see other people in college. Next to dating, parties had to be the most popular out-of-school activity for the class of 1989. Seniors needed no reason for partying, and many places from the beach to the park provided the atmosphere for these parties. Senior Joe Stuczynski recalled a tailgate party he had at Municipal parking lot before an Indian’s game. “We were having fun fry- ing up our dogs and talking to people passing by, when a car pulled up and I said to my non-Benedictine friend, ’That’s our principle and history teacher.’ His reply of ’No way, man,’ was quickly qui- eted when it did turn out to be Fr. Dom- inic and Mr. Csaszar.” Others used their free time to work or participate in non-school affilliated sports. Several basketball, soccer, and volleyball teams were raised, but Mike Kavalecz’s and Jeff Yarbarough’s par- ticipation in the martial arts was the most interesting. Some students were even crazy enough to go to more school. The AP English Class met at Severence Mall at 7:00 on Sundays, and disscussed every- thing from Virgil to what place had the best coffee. The general consensnes was Arthur Treachers. Leo Patterson, the fastest mop in the West. Leo was one of many who spent afterschool hours working. All right gentlemen, I hereby open the Bennet Lit Mag AP English Senior Scholars meeting; Oh and a Fontanella, you got that term paper for me? Next order of business. How about that Car wash? Anyone for a pistachio? I think we should have a symposium to end the year. Everybody meet at Severance. 83 So much depends upon the red Several black students wear pen- dants expressing peace to fellow brother. A Wide Spectrum! In a year marked by the excel- lence of Benedictine's publica- tions, The Spectrum proved to be no exception. After last year's staff received high praise from an or- ganization that judges Lit Mags, this year's staff was faced with a challenge, but Chris Fontanella thought differently. Last year's book had good ideas with break- ing away from the name Spectrum' but they got muddled with the door wall Jim Morri- son Robert Blake theme they were trying to use. This year's book is much cleaner.'' The cleaness starts with the cover,'' explained Matt Bakaitis. Originally we stole the idea from the Beatle s White album, but the idea became more and more ap- petizing when we were 8 hours from deadline and still had no cov- er.'' The cover proved to be quite ironic for the staff kept the name Spectrum, but used a white cover. Make of it what you please. The quote, although in Mr. Francioli's opinion doesn't apply to anything literary, found a mean- ing in Tom Davenport's mind. It implies we re fighting a literary bat- tle with the book. 1989 We made our toughest jump at dawn, thirty thousand feet up and nothing but a piece of cloth keeping us from falling to our deaths. It was dangerous, but we were the most trained army group ever and this kind of thing was like a stroll in the park. At 0600 hours, we were quietly descending to a country that hated us, a country that feared and loathed us. A group that struck terror everywhere we went, we were the SP — the Shoe Police. Nobody escaped our wrath. Another defiant Senior narrowly escapes the reaches of the hated shoe police, as he sports his tennis shoes. Shoe checks are the greatest fear of the people. They don’t care if they don’t have enough food to eat or if their clothes are torn and tattered, only if the dreaded Shoe Police are coming. All right boys and girls, let’s see your shoes. What? What is this? You have Reeboks on. Get him outta here, three weeks in solitary confinement. Anyone else want to mess with the Shoe Police? You there. Are Those regulation shoes? You know I’ve met a thousand people like you, and you’re all the same, committing evil crimes against the state. Drag him away. Five years in Siberia. Let that be a lesson to you all. Remember, Big Shoe is watching. wheelbarrow glistening Dog Days at Benedictine Faced with declining admis- sions, the school had to do some- thing drastic. After foregoing ac- cepting girls, they decided to allow dogs to apply. Surprisingly enough, many have found suc- cess here. Alex was named First team All-Ohio as a wide receiv- er, as Fido made a bid for Class valedictorian, and Spuds is known everywhere as the total party animal. The school seems happy with the move but are pondering a dress code, particularly in the area of shoes for our four-legged friends. Mrs. Allison tries to convince Alex that Chemistry isn't just man's best friend. Tales of Ordinary Madness rain beside the white chickens. • So much depends upon the red wheelbarrow glistening Senior Scholars Program A select group of Seniors took part in a particularly rigorous extra-curricular activity, the Senior Scholars program. This program offered students the chance to study a specific sub- ject of interest with an expert in the field. The Senior would then write a ten page paper explain- ing his part in the project. Seniors who took part were Pete Malave and Tom Daven- ■ port who, when asked why he did it, answered, “I don’t know. 1 For the helluvit. I’m not like you lazy jerks who sit around and do nothing.” A Lesson in Excellence Coming off a dramitic win against the Atlantic Hawks the previous night, Lenny Wilkins man- aged to give a talk the next day to the student body. He told his story of being drafted yet never having seen a professional basketball game, and of his illustrious career. He also talked of hard work, determination, and making goals for your- self as a means to personal success. The assembly was one of a scarce few that the school organized. Besides Christmas movies that were enjoyed by all, the student body attended a ‘‘Say No to Drugs” presentation sponsored by SADD and Pepsi. Students were asked to watch a three screen movie explaining the dangers of drugs, and then answer questions on the movie for free tee-shirts. Although the quality of the assemblies was high, many students felt that there were too few of them and hoped for more in the future. Many felt the assemblies helped muster lacking school spir- it. John Salem tries to get into Lenny Wil- kins' mind for a Bennet exclusive. Dining at Damons The Bennet, in continuing tradition, ended its year by having a banquet at Damons in Sev- erance Mall. In another tradition, Mr. Francioli, the advisor, gave out gifts that had something to do with the person receiving the gift. Joe Russo received a box of Cinnabons. Joe was famous for his Cinnabon habit, a habit, which when considering the cholesteral content of just one Cinnabon, is probably worse than smoking. John Salem received a Ken doll dressed in a dress. Joe Zentner received a press hat, be- cause if you haven’t already figured it out, it was indeed Joe who was Joe Friday. Ed Ha- luska received the most prized gift though, a bag of used underwear. 85 Vfiount Rushinoi HMI « —■■■� JACK POT We, the Class of 1eing of rather sound mind, appearing of sound body, and generally ftaving enough brain cells, do herby: proclaim were outta fiere on the 11th of June in this Last Will and Testament.

The staff worked harder than ever to give you one of the best books that Benedictine has ever had. The Editors would like to thank the following. It would not have been possible without you. Brother Gabriel Balazovic Miss Cindy Carty Mr. Gary Pillar Fr. Dominic Mr. Csaszar Yearbook Patrons There were others too, who helped out in their own way. We would like to extend a sincere thanks to them also. — Fr. Tim ... for the computer paper he lent us. — Fr. Gerard ... for the glue stick. — Fr. Bede ... for the refreshments. — Mr. Francioli ... for allowing us to share the Macintosh room with him. — Mrs. Lewanksi and Fr. Clement ... for understanding that yearbook is more important than science. — Fr. Anselm ... for the food To show their appreciation, the editors would like to thank the following individuals. Seniors Editor Chris Fontanella would like to thank Fr. Dominic for allowing the gripes page to pass. Sports Editor Joe Zentner would like to thank the person who locked him in the school late one Monday night, forcing him to jump out of a second floor window to safety. Editor-in-Chief Todd Calamita would like to thank Mike Kavalecz for completing the entire activities section (captions included) on his own . . . almost. Photography Editor Joe Russo would like to thank Danelle for her support. Seniors Editor Jeff Raischel would like to thank the owner of Tip Top Motel for returning his money. Faculty Editor Tony Daher doesn't want to thank anybody . . . well maybe himself. The following contributed photos to this year's book. If we weren't there to catch the shot they were . . . Mrs. Mozina, Mrs. McAdams, Fr. Joachim, Fr. Anselm, Mr. Zentner, Linda Brown, Sharon Giblin, Sports Illustrated. Last and least Ripcho Studios To anyone we may have forgotten — we apologize. Thanks anyway earbook production reached a cli- - ■ max on June 17 when the staff was rushing to complete its final deadline. This crucial date would de- termine whether or not the yearbook would come out as scheduled. At 9:30 A.M. Eastern Standard Time, Sports Editor Joe Zentner and Senior co- editor Chris Fontanella were to meet the staff's advisor, Cindy Carty, at Benedictine to put the finishing touch- es on the book and make the final shipment before she went out of town. Disaster struck, however, when the brakes on Chris's car tragically went out, leaving the two editors without transportation. A quick phone call to Editor-in-Chief Todd Calamita ended in defeat. Todd was busy landscaping and could not be reached. Staff mem- ber Tony Cirino was the next pos- sibility. Tony, though, was in a deep sleep and could not be wakened. It was now a good while past 10 o'clock and a cloud of panic set in — would the yearbook come out on time? Photography editor Joe Russo had a previous engagement to make ravioli at his uncle's house, and there was no answer at the Kavalecz residence. It was becoming a futile effort. A final hope remained. It was the other Sen- ior's editor, Jeff Raischel, and his sky blue four speed manual transmission Ford Fairmount station wagon. With tremendous personal sacrifice (waking up early during the heavy partying season),Jeff put all self- concern aside and picked up the other two editors. The three proceeded to Benedictine with great haste. Time was against our three heroes as the sped down Shaker Blvd. With a screech of burning rubber,they turned off Martin Luther King Dr. into the school parking lot. This will long be remembered, in the hearts of all of us, as one of the greatest efforts made by any of the yearbook staff members. It was all for naught, though. The three arrived ten minutes too late. Cindy left for her vacation. The pages were delayed; and that, Benedictine students is why the 1989 yearbook is late. It's all part of life's rules. -Thanks for understanding. 110 DiBella's Pizza Bazaar 12718 Woodland Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44120 791-3452 791-9444 Rich Russell PRINTING John Russell Joseph A.

Our local company representitive was Ciny Carty. Staff members Todd Calamita and Alex Spinos attended a workshop at Bay. The 7 3 4 x 10 1 2 book is 144 pages. An IBM PC was used to set type and copy was submited on disk. Photos were handled by Ripcho Studios. In addition to printing and shipping costs, the staff also consumed $513 of McDonald's and $379 of pizza. The majority of the book was done in the wee hours of the morning or during 7th period physics class. The most played song was ''You Shook Me'' by AC DC which was played 17 consecutive times at Todd's request. The phrase that was quoted the most was ''Shut up Todd and go crawl back in your hole.'' The longest shift put in was from 11:30 A.M. to 1 A.M (the next day). My editors might not have appreciated my persistant nagging or 8:00 A.M. wake up calls. However, their use served my purpose. — Todd Calamita Applaud, friends, the comedy is over. — Ludwig von Beethoven Editors Editor-in-Chief Assistant Editor Sports Editor Senior Co-Editors Activities Editor Faculty Editor Underclass Editor Todd Calamito Alex Spinos Joseph Zentner Chris Fontaneila Jeff Raischel Mike Kavalecz Tony Daher Dave Batista Photography Photography Editor Jeff Raischel Dave Batista Larry Witmer Jeff Thresher Contributing Staff Alex Slemc, Randy Loeser, Mike Deck, Pete j Dichman, John Salem, Tony Cirino, Larry Witmer, Mike Kadlub, Chris Cirino, Pete Malave, Tony Toth, Mike Mozina, Jim Cur- tis, Joe Gorley, Greg Kobunski.
