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
