His Excellency, fhe Most Reverend Leonard P. Cowley, is the auxiliary Bishop of the St. Paul diocese. He handles his duties with warm and friendly qualities which have characterized him in the past os the pastor of St. Olaf's Church. 5 Dedication Two Brothers among those who exemplify the spirit of St. John Baptist de LaSalle in the halls of Benilde have been chosen by our senior class as being particularly helpful to them. They are Brother Theodore and Brother Denis. Thank God that you have a teacher like me. Many times during our chemistry class last year, Brother Theodore uttered these words to us. Judging by what students from other schools have said about their chemistry teachers, we should thank God that we had Brother Theodore for a teacher. We will always remember B.T.V.T. (Brother Theodore's Valence Table) Brother presides over homeroom 136. Brother started teaching in 1924 and through the years has compiled vast experience in the teaching of youth. Brother Theodore's longest stay as a Brother was at a St. Louis, Missouri high school. From 1931—34 he was director of Duluth Cathedral High School while it was under the direction of the Christian Brothers. During the years of 1936—1940, Brother was principal of the Brother's School in Memphis, Tennessee. For the lost four years Brother Theodore has been the Moderator of the Chemistry Club which is designed to furthur interest in chemistry. Brother's hobby is ornithology which is in effect, bird-watching. As a devoted member of the Audubon society. Brother Theodore looks forward to the summer months as a time to spend on this hobby. Brother Denis, the spirited advisor of homeroom 139, is well known to his American History and Sociology students. After a long stay at St. Mels High School in Chicago, Brother Denis came to Benilde in 1956. At Benilde, Brother has been very busy in various activities. He is the tennis coach at Benilde, and this year was named Moderator of Junior Department. Prior to this year he coached the debate team, an activity he was well experienced with, having eight years experience. He is Chairman of the Twin Cities Council of Social Studies Teachers and also a member of the St. Louis Province Social Studies Committee. Brother Denis is well known as a member of the executive board of the Suburban Council of the M.C.S.S. He is also a member of the American Historical Society. Brother Denis is in charge of all retreats and days of recollection. For another First at Benilde, Brother Denis organized a soccer team which did very well. We, the graduating class of 1961, are very grateful for the guidance they have given us during our junior and senior years at Benilde. 7 Theme Most people know the Christian Brothers as one of the outstanding teaching communities of the Church. It all began when St. John Baptist de LaSalle was born in Rhiems, France on April 30, 1651, the oldest of ten children. His father was a man of wealth and prominence so John Baptist received a Fine education. He attended the university school at Rhiems and at 19 graduated from the university. He was ordained to the priesthood on April 9, 1678 and two years later he earned his doctorate in sacred theology at Sorbonne. His contoct with education, the work to which he was to devote his life, came almost by accident. His spiritual director had founded a sisterhood for the education of poor girls and when he died he left the care of the little group to Father de LaSalle. Father de LaSalle gave the group a start by securing letters of patent from the government by using part of his substantial fortune to pay some of the initial expenses. His work for the sisters got him interested in the education of boys. In April 1670 with the help of a pious layman, Adrien Nyel, Father de LaSalle founded a free school. It was so successful that he soon was requested to start other schools, but he had to refuse because of the lock of teachers, he founded a band of men dedicated to teaching. He hoped to bind them together as a religious community just os his spiritual had formed his community to teach girls. Although his father objected violently, de LaSalle founded his community, gave them a rule, and a distinctive garb. The Christian Brothers are characterized by their black robe and robot. He gave his Brothers an authentic religious rule drawn from the best sources of the monastic, but his communities were to be composed strictly of laymen. St. John Baptist distributed his inheritance to the needy and threw his lot in with that of his followers. St. John Baptist de LaSalle is often hailed as the father of modern teaching. He was a pioneer in many areas especially the popularizing of the simultaneous mutual method of teoching. The Christian Brothers grew rapidly and had spread throughout France by beginning of the 1700s. In 1717, de La Salle resigned the generalate and spent the next two years in silent retirement, practicing humility, obedience, and patience. On Good Friday, 1719, St. John Baptist de La Salle died in peace. St. John Baptist's life was full of foil, trouble, and heartbreaks, but the result of his work is clearly seen throughout the world in the schools of the Brothers. Today the Christian Brothers numbers around 17,000 all over the world. They bring guidance and knowledge to over 600,000 boys and young men throughout the world. Brothers' Boys, students in a Christian Brothers' school, are distinguished by their habit of carrying a rosary wherever they go. St. John Baptist de La Salle also established the hour and half-hour prayers which are a custom. St. John Baptist de La Salle's reward for his labors and good works was his canonization as one of the great teacher-saints of the Church on May 24, 1900. Benilde High School is named of Blessed Brother Benildus, a Christian Brother. Blessed Brother Benildus was beatified on February 16, 1947 by His Holiness, Pope Pius XII. Brother Benildus' life was one of continual acts of loyalty to the constitutions which St. John Baptist de La Salle compiled for those who would devote their lives to Christian education of youth in the clOssroom. Blessed Benildus was born on June 14, 1805, in Thurei, ine diocese of Clermont, France. After attending the Brother's school ot Riom for a short time, he entered the noviciate at Clermont in 1820. After faking his vows he taught for 18 years in Five schools of the Brothers before being named Director, First at Bislom, then at Sauges. Sauges afforded splendid opportunity for the exercise of his zeal and other virtues. The youth of the locality who were of bad character changed into models of virtue after coming in with the good Brother. Numerous vocations to both priesthood and the Religious life, which are said to be about 300, stand as a losting memory to him, Blessed Brother Benildus died on August 13, 1862 of on illness which had caused him much suffering for several years prior to his death. The reputation of Brother Benildus for several decades now has grown rapidly, ond many favors were claimed as a result of his intercession. His tomb at Sauges became a popular place of pilgrimage. 8 Brother J. Mark, F.S.C., Principal In his role os director of Benilde High School Brother Mark hos put forth an untiring effort to maintain the high standards of Benilde. The school is deeply indebted to him for upholding the high standards of school, not only in school work but in other fields also. Brother has always stood ready to extend a helping hand to anyone who needed if. and we have learned that his fatherly advice is worth following. All of our closs have benefited, at one time or another from his prudent advice. In assuming his duties as director of the school Brother Mark has established himself as a renowned figure ot Benilde. It can be said that Brother Mark is in a word, Benilde itself. 10 BROTHER L. DOMINIC Faced with the task of arranging the schedules for a school of over 1000, Brother Dominic, who is the assistant principal, also serves os the prefect of discipline and moderator of the Fathers' and Friends' Club. No man could possibly surpass the excellent work done by Brother Dominic in his position as prefect of discipline. In the four years we have spent here at Benilde, we have come to love and respect Brother Dominic for his personal attention and unselfish efforts in helping us shape our characters. We all hope that he will remain at Benilde for many years to come. FATHER KNAPP Father Knapp always greets a student with a smile that indicates a willingness to help the boy with his troubles. Father, who did post-graduate work in Europe, is an outstanding educator and a noble example of a Christ-like man. When juniors, the class of 1961 received an inspiring retreat from him. Father distributes the Blessed Sacrament and hears confessions daily. His presence in the school is a benefit to the student body both spiritually and mentally. We are thankful to have Father as our chaplain and spiritual benefactor. BROTHER LOUIS Brother Louis has been connected with Benilde for two years. During these two years Brother has served as maintenance supervisor and bookkeeper. Brother is very efficient in carrying out these two jobs which many people would rather avoid doing. Although these jobs keep Brother very busy, he still finds time to attend the events of the school and talk with the students whom he doesn't have a chance to meet during a school day. Brother Louis excels in the virtues of patience and generosity, it is very easy to work with him and to make friends with him. II BROTHER THEODORE Senior The seniors in homeroom 136 hove felt the effect of Brother Theodore's experienced teaching and personal affection he shows towards them. Little need be said of the great charity Brother possesses. Brother's reflections and religious attitude have made an impression on his students to such a degree that he will be remembered for many years to come. BROTHER JOSEPH Brother Joseph has worked with our doss both in our junior and senior years. Brother is a hard worker and expects the some hord work from his students. He chauffeurs out athletic teams willing to give his time to any job thot needs to be done. Brother Joseph has served our senior homeroom 137 and as advisor of our junior homeroom 137.

He takes a deep interest in the senior class as a whole and also gives his undivided attention to the students of his homeroom 146. Brother is very candid and truthful with his students and his understanding of the class problems enables the senior class to be what It Is. BROTHER THOMAS The main purpose of a brother is to attain heaven and to assist as many young men as possible in that direction. As the school's vocational director. Brother fullfils this objective to the best of his ability. Brother is never too busy to give his personal attention to a student's problem, however small.

Senior Story Four short years ago this story began. We were called freshmen, the lowest form of student life. Christian Brothers were new to us and tried to impress upon us that we were in school to learn and not to play. With our freshman year came the acquisition of new friends, many of whom we will know for life. We also came to realize the new tradition upon which wc were embarking. The word Sophomore means fool, and looking back, at times we deserved the title. Although not engaging in school activities as forcefully as the upper classmen, we began to make ourselves known as a participating group in the school. If was a year that added spice to our life and decided we were ready to meet the world. The junior year brought us our first chance to break into social circles by sponsoring dances. The Knight's Ball was a fine example of a junior project. As Juniors we also started to assume more of the responsibility of upper classmen. We have now attained the goal which we have strived for three years. As Seniors we have completed our training and now stand at the threshold of adult life. However, let us always remember to look back on these years with thanks. Thanks for the excellent instructions we have received with and for the happiness which we have enjoyed while attending Benilde. The knowledge we have gained will always be with us. Our studies were difficult, yet through hard work and perseverance, we have won out. The Brothers have made an indelible mark on our memories. They have given their lives to help us. Their work has not been in vain, for through their efforts we have been made into men, not just ordinary men, but Christian men. The life we lead now depends on how we will use our aquired knowledge. Benilde, the Senior class salutes you. May you continually do for others what you have done for us. 20 PRESIDENT MICHAEL R. FARGIONE ... 136 .. . Forg Pretty many, huh. Basketball 3 . . .

Q (i m V [emonam This year's graduating class lost one of its members last year. Gary Pouliot died on March 30, 1960 after a series of operations. The entire class of 1961 attended the Requiem High Mass offered for the repose of his soul at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church. Gary was a true gentleman in every sense of the word and possessed to a high degree the manly characteristics of honesty and self-sacrifice. He had firm convictions and did what he knew was right. He generously offered his time and talents to his school in the classroom and on the athletic fields. He truly was a great credit to the senior class of 1961. 45 Senior Council — left to right: James McCorthy, Bruce Reinhart, Joseph Hartle, James Ryan, John Posely, Michael Fargione, Thomas Knopps, Thomas Fitzgerald, Raymond Olchefske, Thomas Olson, Missing from picture ... John Barrett and Robert Divine. This year's Senior Council, under the able direction of Brother H. Domink. has shown great leadership throughout the school year. The Council successfully directeo the Homecoming procedures during the game with Regis, and also sponsored the post-season Homecoming dance. Other Senior ventures included the Christmas food for the poor drive, and money making projects such as the Senior car wash. Through the help of Brother Dominic, the Senior class treasury is much better off than it has in previous years. With this money the Senior Class has been able to give o worthwhile gift to the school. All in all the Council has done a job of which they, and the entire school, can be proud. 46 Senior Class Poll MOST POPULAR SENIOR......JIM RYAN MOST TYPICAL SENIOR....DICK JONES MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED........MIKE KURIMAY MOST ENERGETIC.....FRANK FLEETHAM BEST ALL AROUND GUY ...

To a freshman the corridors of Benilde are strange and confusing. He finds that in high school there is much more responsibility required of him, and also many activities which help him to know better his fellow students. The strict discipline and orderliness of Benilde tradition is soon impressed upon the Freshmen, often through the monotonous experience of writing Definition of a Gentleman. Although the Freshman considers himself burdened with homework, he finds his studies interesting and useful. The Brothers help guide the Freshmen not only in their studies, but also in the development of characters which becomes noticeable by the time they become Sophomores. SOPHOMORES With familiarity and self-assurance, the Sophomore embarks upon his second year at Benilde. Because of his previous training, the Sophomore has acclimated himself to the many hours of homework and self-discipline required of him. This year the students' classes are more specialized, directed, towards the individuals particular abilities and vocational plans. The Sophomore has the expert guidance of the Brothers and of the office in selecting his field of study. With firm purpose the Brothers continue to instill in the student the truths and ideals of our Catholic Faith in all phases of study and activity. The student's Sophomore year can be very enjoyable and profitable if he uses his time and energy wisely. JUNIORS The Junior Class of 1962 has the qualities of unity, spirit, and leadership that are found in an outstanding class. The credit for the success of this department most appropriately can be given to their faculty as well os to the individuals. The Juniors are well represented in every field of school activity. These young men have a keen and active interest in the social life of the school as may be seen by their outstanding preparation and participation of the Knight's Ball held on January 28th. The Juniors will enter their final year at Benilde as mature students because of the excellent spiritual, guidance and scholastic training provided by the Brothers during their previous years at Benilde. 48 Junior 139 Brother Denis When Junior Homeroom 139 is mentioned to o Benilde student, immediotely the name of a brother who is small of stature but great of knowledge comes to mind. Brother Denis who is the Junior Moderator and whose fame as on organizer is well known. Junior Room 139 also has many outstanding students to boost of, such as, Lawrence Nimmerfroh and Robert Harrigan. The room boasts of having two junior class officers Dean Gits, who is the Junior Vice-President and Tom Bartsh, Secretary. Two men from the room went to the Student Congress this year, they are: Pat Carnes and Glen Skoy. Among the many fine athletes from 139 are Bill Hilger and Dave Hile. All the members of 139 are proud to have been in this homeroom and feel they accomplished much during the year.

We are led by a group of boys: John Kretsch, President; David Adamek, Vice-president; Terry Madden, Secretary; Tim Keran, Treasurer,- and Gordie Sanders, Sgt.-at-arms. To show our school spirit we have members participating in many activities ranging from varsity sports to organizations and clubs. Two boys in 140 who are capable of making the honor roll consistently are Ronald Setten and John Kretsch. Our homeroom teacher, Mr. Joranger, has given the example for us to follow. He shows interest in the school as wrestling coach, and shows his participation in such ways as lending a helping hand at school dances. He is always available to advise us in our studies and other problems.

Room 141's school spirit has been shown by winning the chocolate drive in the Junior Department with 138%. Varsity sports have claimed the interest of all in our room and the participation of three men on the football team, two on the basketball team, and one on the hockey team. The talents of a number of others have made our intramural teams a success. The Junior Class Honor Roll has consistently displayed the names of men from our room. We are certain that our Junior year, aided by the subtle humor of Mr. McDonald, will have proved to be a success.

Dave Johnson, Jeff Olson, Bob Bevan, Joe Siferle and Bob Be-zek have been some of the standouts in varsity competition this year. Mike Meuers and David Beckley have maintained honor roll averages, along with many others who have been off and on since last September. All in all, room 149 is continually on the move.

In the student government department room 150 managed to put five very capable leaders on the student council: Steve Upton, Junior class treasurer, Mike Melloy, Junior class Sgt.-at-arms, and Brian Dunn, Kipp Johnson and Paul Moore as representatives. At Christmas time every one wants to be generous, especially room 150. Pat McAndrews, Brian Dunn and Paul Moore were our big Santa's in organizing and giving a generous gift to needy families in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. One of the outstanding features of room 150 was its grade school teaching staff — teaching Christian doctrine to grade school children. In conclusion we would like to give mention to the men of room 150 who gave their complete cooperation during the course of the year. Also very honorable mention to our home room teacher Brother Bernard.

Many of the boys in the room are on the Honor Roll under the guidance of Brother Ambrose. Although they are interested in a number of Red Knight activities, they seem to find time to hit the books. Room 151 has at least five members of the class participating in varsity sports and other curricular activities which include the Glee Club, Legion of Mary and the Debate team. Our Room president, Pat Barrett, went on to become president of the Junior Department. Junior 151 also does a fine job in assisting with projects sponsored by the Junior Department. An example of this was the homecoming float. Yes, hats off to Junior 151 for a fine representation of Benilde this past year.

LeTournoou John Korpl John Nicoloy President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer During the past year, the members of room 112 have worked together os one unit and have shown very good results. Throughout the chocolate drive, with the exception of the last few days, we held first place with the highest average. Another example of room 112's school spirit showed its effectiveness at Christmas time when we decorated the Biology Lab in a deep Christmas spirit. Because our class meetings were held in an orderly manner, many things were planned and accomplished. Dues were collected regularly for our main goal: a class picnic in the spring of the year. Gym nights were held several times throughout the year with everyone enjoying their favorite games and food.

We are very proud of some of the athletes in our homeroom. Ken Rota made both the varsity basketball and football teams. Rich Olson and Rick Creighton hove made the 'B' basketball team. Another member of our homeroom, Jim Wood, plays on the varsity hockey team. We did a fine job in the chocolate drive selling more than our quota. We have four members of our home room that make the honor roll frequently. These are students Rich Olson, Joseph Pollock, Richard Creighton and John Rocheford. During the Christmas assembly the members of our class were well represented by Jim Schug who played in the Battle of the Bands.

Brother can be stern, but he is always fair. He is a good leader for class activities. The Sophomore mission award was the first won by our class after Brother outdid himself in giving us a sob story about the poor missions. Another outstanding project in which we excelled was selling tickets for the Boys' Town game. Tim Ingo, Class president, was the victor in this contest, thus helping our class win the twenty-five dollar prize. This prize money was used to finance a gym night, but this brought grief to Steve Benice, for he broke his arm playing basketball. In selling Christmas Cards, Vern Wever was the winner with sales totaling $9.25. At the Christmas assembly our entire class worked together in giving a skit entitled, Spike Jones and His Whacky Wakakians. Dave Schrimmel, Dick Swadner, John Pendzimaz, Bob Bjornstad, and Tom Sfenglein starred in our production.

With the help of our advisor Brother Arnold, we have achieved many goals and will continue to attain many more in the coming future. Considering the tough competition, room 121 placed in the Chocolate Drive with a 168% of our quota. Besides the chocolate drive, 121 was represented in almost every extracurricular activity. Many of the boys hove participated in football, basketball, and debate. All of the students In 121 have participated in some type of activity during the year. An unbelievable 60% of the class has consistently made the honor roll with approximately 35% of the total sophomore honor roll composed of students from 121. The students of 121 together with God's grace will always strive to do better, not only for ourselves, but for the glory of Benilde.

Not only that but through his surrendering of time we were able to have a well organized gym night in November. Our class has also contributed players to the swimming, hockey, football and debate teams.

Athletically we had three freshmen football lettermen; one of them, Ken Waldron, was co-captain. In basketball there were three on the midget squad and Bob Maher played B ball.

Class projects during the past year included selling our quota during the chocolate drive, fielding a representative team in the basketball and softball intra-murals, and helping Brother Andrew with the Christmas decorations. Four of our class members were frequent members of the honor roll during the past year. They were Eastman, Geyer, Engels, and Richardson. In athletics, although we didn't have too many people on the various teams, those who were did o fine job. Blake, Engels, and Lompe made the Freshman football team and Wall made the Frosh Basketball squad. In closing, we in Freshman 123 had an interesting year and look forward to the years to come.

If is only after one has been exposed to these unusual and demanding challenges, however, and has conquered them, that he can claim to possess real spiritual strength. This is a strength that is formulated through the work of the Christian Brothers. During his high school years, a boy undergoes an unusual change. He is being exposed to his first real temptations in life — those which will quite possibly either make or break an individual. In like manner, if is during this time that our spiritual perspectives are formed — perspectives which we will adhere to for the rest of our lives. Consequently, we want the best guidance possible to help us through these crucial years. That is the work of the Christian Brothers. One of the most important requisites for a good Catholic institution is the participation of it's students in Catholic Action. This is an organization, or better yet, a vivid example of generosity, which does not rely on the work of certain individuals, but rather the charity of the whole student body. The types of Catholic Action at Benilde are many,-the most common of which are the Legion of Mary, Contact and C.C.D. This charitable movement, to which every student should be proud to belong, plays a vital role in the spiritual growth and well-being of our school. To every student of Benilde High School, the opportunity is presented him of building a firm spiritual foundation which will be an unerring guide for the rest of his life. Every student realizes and appreciates the never-ending work of the Brothers — that of preparing young men to be sincere Catholics and thus achieving their final goal — the only real goal we have — eternal happiness. 72 As a freshman, the student begins the first phase of his four years of religious training. There is a great difference between the high school freshman and the grade school student in the problems he faces. A freshman finds that he needs a great deal of prayer to help him, therefore one of the first lessons taught is a lesson on prayer and the need to increase it in his daily life. The greatest of all prayers, The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, is given a thorough presentation to the freshman. The religion textbook is entitled Living With Christ and the freshman is encouraged to model his life after Christ os he studies the basic truths of his religion. At the beginning of his sophomore year there is a noticeable and complete change in the student. He is no longer the shy self-conscious boy os when he first entered Benilde. The religion course is also a radical change from any other course he has taken. Since this is his second year, much more is expected of him, especially in Religion. The second book in the Living With Christ series studies the laws of God, The Ten Commandments and the means of grace to keep these laws the Seven Sacraments. The Junior year implies exactly what its title would indicate: Living with Christ. The book is a study of the New Testament. Many inspiring stories of Christ's life are related: His miracles. His lessons told in parables, and His last few days on earth and after His Resurrection. The Junior then reads for the purpose of finding how he can imitate Christ. He also learns of the sacrifice Our Savior and Founder of our Church went through to redeem us and to give us a chance to enter His heavenly kingdom. It is by far the most inspiring book studied. The Senior studies the final phrase of Living with Christ. This book deals with the problems we will and must meet in today's troubled world. The first part relates the many proofs of God's existence. In the following chapters the book deals with: Showing the relationship and the proofs of our church and man to God, pointing out the various laws and customs of the church, and a mature study of our vocations in life. Many of the seniors will finish their lost year of formal religious education. It thus serves os a handbook during our entire lives. The work of Contact is to help in the spread of Catholic action on the high school level. One of the groups biggest efforts is the promotion of the First Fridoys. Brother Amedy along with its members are the first such contact groups in Benilde.

The C.C.D. club, which is the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, has done much to help build the Christian name of Benilde. Under Brother Bernard as director, the group has given their time to instruct religion to grade school children. Composed of junior class volunteers, the boys are a good example of Christian charity.

Religious instructions are given by priests who fry to teach the students the necessity and solemnity of making a good retreat. Small pamphlets are distributed for the boys to read and to meditate upon. The rosary and other prayers are recited throughout the day. Retreats thus give the boys an opportunity to acquire Gods grace and everlasting happiness. Father Knapp welcomes any Benilde student who is in need of counseling. With a friendly smile and affable personality, the Jesuit priest is well known and liked by all the students at Benilde. Whether just a chat or serious counsel. Father Knapp is available to listen to any boy's problems. For three years he had generously given his time to help grow into good Christian men. During the retreat, the boys of each homeroom convene as a body to offer their sacrifices in the Mass. The retreat Mass is the climax of each day's retreat. It is thus fitting to offer each resolution that we have made during the retreat, and to ask God for the grace to sustain from evil and to carry out our resolutions for the love of God and man. Today we live in a society that takes its schools and school life too much for granted. The main reason for this is the fact that almost every child born in the past two decades has gone or will go through eight years of elementary school and most likely four years of high school. This view which is held by the average person is thought by some os dangerous to our national defense and a disgrace to our society. The best way to remedy this is to Inform the average person about schools and school life. Though Be-nilde is not an average school but instead above average it would be to the advantage of most people to find out what our school is like. Since it would be impossible to enumerate on all the subjects taught here, we have grouped all the subjects into eight categories: Guidance, Social Studies, Science, Math, English, Language, Shop and Drawing and Business. Without the able assistance of the Christian Brothers it would be much more difficult to get through the four years of high school. The main way they help us is educationally which is shown on the proceeding pages. Guidance This year marked the expansion of Benilde's Counselling Department with the designation of Mr. Eddy as counselor to the Sophomore Department. A full testing and counselling program has been available for the past few years under the direction of Brother L. Dominec, but with the enlargement of the school enrollment our wise administration has seen fit to expand this important department for the purpose of meeting all of our student's needs. Mr. Eddy has been counselling the Sophomore Department this year for two periods doily and as scheduling permits will assume more time in his schedule for the purpose of helping more of the student body with their vocational, scholastic and social problems. The students who have availed themselves of this new office are in accord, that in Mr. Eddy we have a wise and prudent man attune to the problems that beset high school boys. 80 Social Studies The Social Studies Department plays a vital role in the development of a Christian Gentleman. Thus the objective of each faculty member and of each course offered in the department is to aid the student in the attainment of a more thorough understanding of the origin, nature and end of society; arrive at a more keen appreciation of the principles and heritage of the democratic society of which he is a member; and acquire zeal for the establishment of a democratic society permeated by Christian principles. • V Two bcfo + kc Cf 1 t UJ s O -f U u� ovc « v H5 . Xr WVu£ Ve d • 4 j; Science Science in general is the door to a greater appreciation of the world around us. It is the study of some phase of God's creation ond brings to students a realization of the wonders around and about them that escape notice easily. At Benilde, the natural sciences — biology, chemistry and physics — provide a well-rounded introduction for each pupil to the ordinary and extraordinary surrounding him. Together, these three components of Benilde's scientific program or a well-laid foundation for further study and achievement in college. Math In most cases whenever the word math is mentioned to an incoming freshman you are able to see a clear expression of fear in his eyes, but this is soon erased, for the new freshman finds that math in the form of Algebra I is both informative and interesting. These characteristics he finds as the years go on belong to all math courses, which at Benilde are Geometry, Algebra II and Trigonometry. With these math courses under his belt he is then prepared for college work along these lines. English English which is a very important subject, is one which strengthens our skills in writing, speaking and listening. All these are necessary for a successful future life. At Benilde the English course includes everything from the parts of speech to public speaking both which give the student a complete knowledge of English. In the first two years of Benilde's English course the pupil learns the fundamentals of good English. In general this includes sentence structure for writing and speaking, spelling and social conversation. The last two years of the course goes deeper into other fields such as public speaking, composition work and the study of the classics. Language As a freshman in Benilde High School a boy is placed in one of two categories: the college preparatory course and the business course. In the college preparatory course a boy is obliged to take one of two foreign languages: Latin or Spanish. At first the incoming freshman sees no reason for this, which in most cases he thinks he will never be able to use his knowledge. But as time goes on it becomes clear to him that the language he is taking helps him in all his subjects. There are two big reasons for this: one is the invaluable help it gives him in his English courses, which in turn is invaluable in all his subjects and the other is the skill in comprehending it gives him. So Jjoo. « rne_4 1 1 ScUoc� . If A a fco a - Drawing and Shop Mechanical drawing and Shop ore two subjects which are very closely related in that without drawing, shop would be even more difficult than it already is. In these two subjects a boy becomes skilled both in mind and with his hands getting a taste of all phases of the skilled professions. When a boy finishes his four years at Benilde he is sure of having a sufficient background for either a trade school or a good job. Business X) A boy who os a freshman takes the Business course at Benilde has picked out for himself no easy course. His first two years are hard but during his Junior and Senior years he really has to apply himself to get through the course with decent grades. Finally when he does graduate he knows he has really learned something and that the last four years have not been wasted. An important facet of education is the participation in extracurricular activities. At .Benilde activities go hand in hand with academics in developing the student's potential. The variety of activities offered to the student body encompasses nearly all the interests of young men. However, these activities would not be successful without the genuine interest of the faculty to organize and direct them. This year, for example. Brother Robert organized and directed Benilde's first glee club, which did an admirable job of representing Benilde at various functions. Another first this year goes to Brother Andrew, drama club moderator, who presented our first musical, Seventeen. All students are encouraged to participate in as many activities as possible. Their participation in this program is truly a fine example of Red Knight spirit.

The Fathers' Club of Benilde i one of tho most helpful organizations of our school. Its primary function is to help the Brothers in any way possible. Under the club's constitution, written in 1957, the club Is run by a president who is appointed to serve for one year. The president is assisted by the other members of the executive committee. The president this year wos Mr' Edward M. Callinan. The other officers were: Vice-President Robert Hawkins, Secretary Walter Manke, Treasurer Baylor Icosbrock. Sergeont-otArms Lloyd Melville, and Corresponding Secretary Henry Fitzgerald. The Pothers' Club has many activities, but tho ono of most intorost to the student body Is the Educational Fund. This fund is maintained for the purpose of paying tho remainder of a student's high school education in the event his father should die. The money is provided by the members of the club through the dues they pay. Tho fund is undor three trustees: Mr. A. M. Goblirsch, Mr. Philip Aulwes, and Mr. W. R. Poseloy. The best known activity of the Fathers' Club has been the raising of funds to help pay for the new athletic field. The means used to raise the money have been the pancake breakfasts, and the three musical programs this year. They brought Guy Lombardo, the Columbus Boys Choir, and Roger Williams. Because of the Fathers' Club contributions, the clearing of the area for the field has already started. The Fathers' Club is an important osset to Benilde High School. All of us should back the projects they sponsor. It is more to our benefit than to theirs.

This manifested itself in Benilde's first newspaper, the Opus One. Just before the 1959-1960 school year began, the faculty agreed to alot a certain sum of money for a larger school newspaper. This was the beginning of the Lancer as we know it today. At the beginning of the past school year, the Lancer became more firmly established at Benilde, establishing room 111 as its center of operations. The paper increased the size of its photography department into what is now known as the Photo Club. This made the Lancer considerably more self-dependent. Also, the darkroom adjoining the Lancer room is expected to continue to prove itself useful to the paper, cutting time down considerably for the printing of pictures. Recognition for excellent work in moderating the Lancer ond Photo Club should be given to Mr. Eddy and Mr. Carlson respectively. They have always been ready with suggestions and new ideas, but have always left the final decisions up to the staff members themselves, truly making the Lancer a student newspaper. It is certainly hoped that the Lancer will continue to be as successful in the future as it .has been in the past.

Early in the year, Mr. Dein-ema called the first yearbook meeting, which wos attended by a large, anxious, and optimistic group of students. As the year progressed, however, this group quickly decomposed into a small and hard-working core of individuals. The job of producing an annual is naively assumed by most as a simple matter of mailing a large group of pictures and a few write-ups to a publisher. After a few weeks, however, we on the staff found it quite a different story. Despite the toil and anxiety, we hope that this year's Benilden will compare favorably to those of the post years. Also, we would like to extend our gratitude to those individuals, whose pictures are not contained on this page, for their personal contributions to the yearbook.

Forensic provides the students of Benilde with a superb opportunity to participate or engage in invigorating intellectual competition. A Red Knight debater is the recipient of many invaluable qualities and rewards. Debating endows an individual with public speaking and organizational abilities, logic, and a supreme self-confidence in one's capacity to cope with young adult problems. Benilde's four years of Forensic activity has established the school as a formidable figure and opponent in debating circles. As usual, the squad has achieved an admirable record this season. The victorious schedule was high-lighted by a second place berth in the Twin Cities District Tournament and a first place triumph in the Christian Brothers Tournament. 94 Glee Club 1� � ROW (l-r) Jim De Gonda, Steve Kro-kou, Bert Notermonn, Ken Schouvlller, Tom Scalo, Bill Sweeney, Ken Waldron, John Torhorit, Mike Borreft.

Through the efforts of Brother Robert, a full scale glee club was formed. In the past years, the Red Knights have had only small choir groups of ten or twelve singers. This year, however, the group was extended to close to forty members. Among the various events at which the Club has performed are the Christmas singing at St. Mary's Hospital and the radio program on station KRSI. Both of these performances brought much praise to the Club and the school itself. In the spring the Club presented a concert to the student body, as well as, the public. A good glee club is not created overnight; it takes a lot of time, effort, and sacrifice on the part of the members and the moderator to achieve the progress which our Club manifested this year. A sincere thanks goes out from the student body for the wonderful job they did this year. (M Bro. Robert, Dove Forrey, Gene Loosbrook. Paul Nelson, Dave Hlle.

Since its inception at Benilde in 1956, the Dramatics Club, known as the Benilde Players, has been a major extracurricular activity. Under the capable guidance of Brother Harold Andrew, its first moderator, the club presented a one-act play, In the Days of Mary in 1957, The Detective Story in 1958, Our Town and The Monkey's Paw in 1959, The Solid Gold Cadillac in 1960, and Seventeen in 1961. Through Brother Andrew's efforts each play has been very successful. This year's production of Seventeen , a comedy, was Be-nilde's first attempt at a musical. Perhaps more than any previous play ot Benilde, Seventeen demanded the most work; it included not only the usual problems of production but also the problems of choreography and music. If Brother Andrew boasts any new grey hairs, it's probably due to the sleepless nights he had before Seventeen came out on March 10,11, and 12. As an activity drama provides the student with a challenging diversion. The Club strives for more than art for art's sake ; it fosters group cooperation, self reliance, ond leadership. Through theater workshops held in cooperation with other Catholic high schools, the Drama Club also provides a source of entertainment for its members. Serving as a starting place for possible professional and amateur actors, the Benilde Players enliven every student's creative talents. It supplements the student's scholastic achievements — increasing his cultural background through the art of drama. The Drama Club seeks to develop the student culturally, socially, personally, and intellectually through theatrical work. By serving both as a recreational facility and as an educational facility, the Dramatics Club forms an unique extracurricular activity. Combining these two elements, the Benilde Players enrich the ordinary high school curriculum. Speech SEATED (l-r) Mr. R. Eddy, Brother H. Andrew.

Willie had immediately become infatuated with her, but so had every other boy in Indianapolis. His antics to win her attention were something to behold, so unusual they were, in fact, that some people, including the members of Willie's own family, thought he was crazy. Then Willie's plans were upset further with George Cooper, a handsome college boy from the East. Willie then decided that he needed a new dress suit and sold all his clothes in an attempt to get one. He finally succeeds in winning over Miss Pratt, but alas, it is too late, the summer was over, and Willie never was able to enjoy his success. 97 Junior Council SEATED (l-r) Jerry Krieger, Bob Schommer, Mike Melloy, Dean Git� , Pot Barrett, Tom Barths, Steve Upton, Mike Quinn, Rick Finke, Mike Meuers.

We are very proud of the progress and accomplishments made by the Junior Council of Benilde. The faculty had anticipated great potential in the Junior class and were not disappointed in the least. After the outstanding campaign and election of the class officers, the Junior Council accelerated in a program comparable to any activity at Benilde. Led by their five officers and under the direction of their competent moderator. Brother L. Denis, the Council accomplished these major activities: They adequately assisted the Senior department in organizing the homecoming parade. Also, to subsidize many of their new found expenditures, a Skating Hop was organized at the Ice Center in Wayzata. To accomplish these many tasks, the Council set up six committees: Assembly, Contest, Intramural, Scholastic, Dance, and Public Relations. In addition to the above mentioned items, we believe it may be interesting to tell you of the highlight social event of the year, the Knights' Ball. The dance far exceeded our most hopeful expectations both from the standing-room-only crowd of happy customers and most important, net profit. In summarizing the character of this year's Council, one could easily say that their potential flourished well beyond the normal capacity of student governments in American high schools. 98 Left to right — Brother L.

To activate these clubs, two days were set aside for each party to send representatives to speak to the senior and junior departments. Miles Lord headed the Democratic delegation, and the Republicans were led by C. Donald Peterson. These two rally days set the spark for the national mock election which was held at school prior to the actual election. The campaign quickly got underway, and the halls of the school were filled with Nixon and Kennedy banners. Buttons were passed out and the political fanagling increased on both sides as the election day approached. The final result coincided with the national with Kennedy winning. Brother L. Denis, moderator of both clubs, worked very hard for the success of the program. Under his supervision everything went very smoothly. Not only did Brother Denis work hard for the election but also he made known to students many political meetings and discussions which they could attend. The great importance of a politically informed youth has been manifested time and time again. The continuance of this activity will surely be profitable to the student in his later life when he will take an active part in our government. Y.D.F.L.

Man is a rational animal; a mind and a body; brains and muscles. Athletics are needed to develop the full man and therefore play an integral part in the education at Benilde. Benilde has fielded representative teams in all sports with the best results coming in Football with the conference co-championship being with Cretin High School, another Christian Brother School. The Brothers emphasize the importance of the conduct of school athletics on and off the playing field, since the young men are responsible for the reputation of their school. A boy that has developed his body physically as well as mentally will grow into a well adjusted young man, the objective of the Christian Brother's education. Benilde Ties for C. C. C.

The only blemish on the record was a 13—13 fie with Cretin, played before an overflow crowd at O'Shaugh-nessy field. Coaches Karbo, Haben, Erwin, Juranger and Lutz all agreed that the team gave their best at all times. This team which was plagued by injuries seemed to come up with the right replacement at just the right time. The Red Knights opened their season with a 20—7 victory over Rochester Lordes down in the Mayo City. The squad, in top physical shape, wore down the opposition with the piledriving plunges of Joe Hartle and the fleetness of backs McCarthy, Fitzgerald and Ryan. Next, the team entertained Boys Town of Nebraska at the Parade Stadium and sent them home on the short end of a 28—13 contest. With Joe Hartle injured, Tom Fitzgerald was switched to fullback, and he, along with Jimmy Ryan and Jim McCarthy, led the Knights on to victory. The numerous holes opened by the line were nothing short of spectacular. After squeaking by St. Thomas and Winona Cotter, the Red Knights ran into St. Paul Cretin. In an exciting game with both teams playing their hearts out, the scoreboard said 13—13 at the finish. Never was a result more just. The running of Harren for Cretin and the passing of Bruce Reinhart for Benilde were almost unbelievable. 'Gnash the Ramblers' was the slogan for the homecoming game the following week against Eau Clair Regis. The team proceeded to do just that, and won a convincing 33—6 decision. The Knights followed up this victory with another superb effort against St. Cloud, to the tune of 29—0. In the season's finale, the Red Knights defeated their arch-rival DeLaSalle before another large crowd at the Parade Stadium. All the players gave outstanding performances in what many experts claimed was the best second half of football they had ever witnessed in the Twin Cities. Trailing 13—0 at halftime, the Red Knights crushed everything in sight — scoring three touchdowns for a 21—13 victory. The C.C.C. title share was a just reward for this terrific bunch of football players — many of whom will go on to even greater heights in college. 107 Battle Scenes Ryan fights hard.

Joel, Steve Berg, The 9—10 season record in basketball this year is not truly indicative of the team's fine play. Seven of these losses were decided by a margin of four points or less. Despite these close losses, our conference record improved as it has each year. A big factor in the outcome of the season was the major injuries which plagued the team throughout the year. Rick Fink, starting forward as a sophomore, missed the first half of the season because of a knee injury and was never at full strength. Mike Quinn, after recovering from a concussion suffered early in the season, broke his right wrist and was unable to play in the latter part of the season. The most outstanding characteristics of the team this year were its determination and hustle. Both of these qualities were manifested to a great degree in the regional game when playing the fourth quarter with only one starter, we were finally edged by a last minute basket. Steve Berg, Dick Blooston and captain Jim McCarthy were awarded positions on the Regional Team for their outstanding play. Although Jim McCarthy, Dick Blooston, Tom Aulwes, Tom Knopps, Jim Malia and Mike Fargione are lost by graduation, we can look forward to a good season next year. Returning from the varsity are Steve Berg, this year high scorer and member of the all-conference team, Rick Finke, Mike Quinn, John Wallerius, Bob Bevan, Bill Uwelling and Ron Warren. This group, aided by some fine sophomores from Mr. Haben's B squad, will surely lead next year's Red Knights to a successful season. 110 Red Knights vs.lslanders and Raiders CONFERENCE RECORD BENILDE VISITORS Hill 66 26 Cretin 40 32 St. Cloud 53 39 St. Thomas 40 41 De LaSalle 43 53 Cretin 38 40 Hill 63 32 St. Cloud 69 46 St. Thomas 42 50 De LaSalle 46 49 De LaSalle 58 62 “B” Squad 12-4 B SQUAD BASKETBALL FIRST ROW (|-r), Dick OI� on, Dick Creighton.

Roy Olchofike, Dave Johnson, Steve Upton — ml� � ing. Benilde finished second in the State Catholic Wrestling Tournament this year. This achievement brought out the success of Mr. Jorangers matmen during the season. In dual meets the team won twelve while losing only four. Included were two close decisions over a strong De LaSalle team. In finishing second in the state tourney, the team placed four all-staters: Jeff Dolan, John Maloney, John Poseley (captain), and Steve Montreiul. Both the dual and tournament successes indicated the great improvement of the wrestling squad. One of the main reasons for this improvement was the experience gained under the able coaching of Mr. Joranger and Mr. Forrey. The team spirit, which was terrific all year, reached its peak in the state tournament. With such a captain as John Poseley, it can be seen why Benilde had the best conditioned team in the tournament. John won all his matches by pins. Although there are five starters graduating this year, the future looks good. There will be seven starters returning and several other good prospects who are expected to move up from the B Squad, which had an almost perfect record this year. Thus the wrestling team has brought Benilde farther into the limelight by its all-around sportsmanship. Considering these successes coupled with the prospect of more color and excitement, it is no wonder that the popularity of this sport has so greatly increased.

HOCKEY TEAM Sporting an over-all 10—10 record for the season, the Benilde Icemen closed out their most successful hockey season. Sparked by the all-conference play of Co-captains Winfield Wood and John Wilhoit, the Red Knights finished third in the C.C.C. with a 7—5 record. In the opening round of play Benilde lost to St. Agnes, De LaSalle, and Cretin while St. Thomas, Hill, and St. Cloud were beat by the Red Knights. The second round of play found St. Agnes and Cretin again beating the improving Red Knights but De LaSalle, St. Thomas, Hill, and St. Cloud fell to defeat before the Red Knights. The team gained a berth in the State High School Priwole Invita- tional Tournament by beating St. Thomas 3—1. In the tournament, the team suffered setbacks by the champion, Saint Paul Academy and consultation winner Blake High School. John Wilhoit was selected most valuable player on the team, gaining the honor by leading the team in scoring honors. He also scored the most goals in the C.C.C. Conference. Coach Mr. Reichel explained the season would have been much better only the team lacked scoring balance and mustered only sudden bursts of determination and true hustle. “B” Squad 17-1 FRONT ROW (|-r)t Pat Lewis, Bill Hotzfiold, Kon Waldron, Dove Shute (co-capt.)

The success of the 1960-61 swimming team can not be measured in how many meets they won or lost, but rather in the way the team progressed throughout the year. Under coach McDonald, the team showed great strides in their victory over Washburn, and their near win over Minneapolis Southwest. Not only was a team advancement shown, but also individual feats:'Bifl Bolduc, a Junior, was one of the most understanding swimmers on the team. Breaking two school records in the 40 yard freestyle and the individual medley. Bill had a total of 111 points which also broke the old school record. Tom Layton, team captain, was impressive in his specialty, the 100 yard breast stroke. Many other of the Red Knight swimmers broke records. Not only was the individual competition strong, but the biggest accomplishment was capturing second place in the State Catholic Swimming meet held at St. Thomas. 116 Golf and Tennis One of the most skillful of oil spring sports is the game of golf. Golf requires more than just power and quick hands,-patience along with mentol concentration are equally as important. Although the golf team lost Frank Warner, who last year captured the Catholic state medalist honors at Soldiers golf course in Rochester, and played without a home golf course on which to play. Brother Raymond, golf coach, certainly shows much optimism in this year's future golfers. With returning veterans: Dick Lehan, Jim Zwickl, Dick Blooston, Kipp Johnson along with a few dark horses, this coming spring promises to bring many honors.

With Brother Denis as Coach, the Red Knights appear to hove a promising spring season ahead. Captain-elect Ted Schuster along with such veterans as John Ryan, Bob Harrigan, Mike Doyle, Mike Kadlec, Dave Beckley, and Jerry Kneisl comprise the nucleus of the team. Not only are many of the boys experienced, but many are holders of championships outside the school season. It therefore certainly looks like a bright future for Brother Denis and his team.

Benilde's track team is looking forward to another good year. Cindermen took the championship last year and intend to repeat their performance again this year. The Junior Varsity went undefeated with honors. The coach this year is Mr. Lutz with Brother George as assistant coach. Mr. Lutz is in his first year of coaching track at Benilde. Among some of the talent this year i$: Mike Fargione running the hurdles; Anis Clark doing high jump and broad jump. In sprinters we have Jeff Rice, Tom Kirkpatrick, and Bob Burck. Although the Freshmen and Sophomores show good talent, the long distance runners are weak. The weight men are Joe Hartle and Don Grundman. In the quarter mile we have Bob Bezek, Dan Donadur, and Ken Rota. All in all, they will produce a strong and well balanced team. Baseball This year's Varsity Baseball team has one goal: The Catholic Conference Title. With many members back from last years squad and good group of future prospects Coach Reichel feels that this is Benilde's year. The team is scheduled to face an extremely grueling season with at least three games weekly and most of the time four or five games during a week-long period. Pitchers Steve Berg, Pot Barret, Rich Finke, and Bruce Nordine are scheduled to lead this year's mound corps. Pot Borrett Lorry Andresen !• ■; Dick Kastner, Larry Androsen, Brother Bernard, Mr. Richael, Mike Quinn, Bill Ritchie. Dick Kojtner The team faces a strong conference schedule with De La Salle, Cretin, and Hill slated to be the biggest rivals. The Red Knight infield is strong with the best double play combination in the Conference of Cas-teneda-Kastner mopping up the infield. In all the team is looking forward to an interesting season with plenty of thrills and plenty of good competitive baseball. 119 Varsity Club BOTTOM ROW (l-r)i Officers — John Moloney (Sec), Fritz Kokesh Winfield Wood, Mike lydell, Ted Schuster, Roger Knapp, Dick (Tres), Bro Arnold, Tom Knopps (Pres), John Poseley (V.

The varsity club has been extremely active this year comparable to all of the extra-curricular activities at Benilde. In the past the club has kept its members to only those who have majored in an active sport. This, however, does not seem to limit its members by any means. The club has set its goal to improve the athletic facilities not only for the members of the student body who have already developed themselves in a particular sport, but also for those boys who ore just beginning. The five officers; Tom Knopps — President, John Poseley — Vice President, John Maloney — Secretary, and Fritz Kokesh — Treasurer along with their director Brother Arnold have done a fine job in leading the Varsity Club to accomplishing all they had set out to do this year. Here are just a few of the accomplishments made by the club in the past year: The furnishing of a complete set of weights to the muscle-minded men at Benilde,- also they have sponsored sock hops and facilitated the football and basketball fans with refreshments; last but far from least they have done numerous maintenance work on the practice fields behind the school. With these many and colorful facts we would be very correct in saying that the students ot Benilde offer a hats off to the members of the varsity club for the fine work they've done in achieving their goals and high standards and also for the example they have set here at Benilde. 120 a- cr £U- � Avvmu |-tf-u V j_fl „ — t , , -A 5?
