GRADUATION are able to devote more time to preparing lessons and helping the students because they have no other duties than those associated with teaching. But a school cannot manage itself; for example, someone must see to the food, clothing . shelter, and other necessities of the Brothers. At Benildc, we have m faculty of forty — ve Brothers and fifteen As k Director, Brother J. Mark has the responsibility of the What makes a school? Buildings, desks, books, papers and pencils? All these and many more, of course. But all these are only incidentals; they aren’t really necessary. The thing that is most indispensable, the one thing without which no school could be a good school, is teachers. Regardless of the enrollment, of the number of classrooms, of the amount of audio-visual equipment, or of the number of football games the team wins, a school is no better than its faculty. The primary factor that makes a administration of a school of over one thousand pupils, school a good school, is the ability of its teachers to teach. as well as the responsibility of caring for a community of Because it is a Christian Brother's school, Benildc is tv blessed. Its faculty is composed mostly of Christian Brothers. On the other hand, we owe a great deal to the dedicated laymen who also teach us. Christian Brothers arc trained to be teachers; the Brothers of the Christian Schools are primarily a teaching order. The Brothers arc taught how to deal with the young men they teach, howto be of the most help to them. As Brothers, the teachers ve Brothers. In performing his duties conscientiously and capably, Brother Mark is representative of the entire faculty of Benildc. His devotion to the ideals of; the order, to building in his students the qualities of generosity, loyalty, cooperation, understanding; in short, to building Christian character in his boys” is further typical of the Benilde Brothers. 1 Dk ■ 10 GUm.

Ferdinand came to Benilde this year to become our Principal. Last year Brother Ferdinand was the principal of one of the Brothers’ schools in Oklahoma. This year, in his short time with us. Brother Ferdinand has proven to be an invaluable asset to Benilde and its students. 12 Chaplain Father O’Connor Father O’Connor is a pleasant addition to Benildc. He filled the gap that was made when Father Knapp went to St. Louis. Father O’Connor was ordained in February of 1961. He was assigned to Benildc as chaplain but he also helps out at Good Shepherd Parish in Golden Valley. In addition, Father O’Connor celebrates Benilde’s First Friday Masses and acts as Confessor to many boys in school. Father O’Connor has a very tough and full schedule, but he is never too busy to talk to one of his boys. Assistant Principal Brother J. Patrick Brother J. Patrick is our new Assistant principal this year replacing Brother L. Dominic who was transferred to Chicago. Brother has the “terrible task” of disciplining us when we get out of hand. He also takes care of attendance and the workshop. Brother has also done a great deal towards the furtherance of the game of Hockey at Benildc by working hard on the Hockey rink. Brother was in charge of our tremendously successful chocolate drive also. To Brother Patrick goes the honor of being the one who keeps Benildc’s transportation in working order. At this, he has also done a magnificent job. BROTHER ARTHUR 149 Religion IV; English IV; Bowling Intramurals; English Moderator.

In Memoriam JAMES A. MILLER Jim Drama 4; Glee Club 4; Art and Poster 2; Legion of Mary 2; Debate 1; Track 2,3. Three years ago a young man from Immaculate Heart parish in Glen Lake entered Benilde as a member of the freshman class. On November 3, 1961, an automobile accident snuffed out his life. During the intervening years, James Allen Miller made a name for himself and became one of the most popular boys at Benilde. Jim excelled in extra-curricular activities; he holds the school record in the mile run and was an excellent vocalist in the Glee Club, to mention only a few instances. Everyone who has known Jim Miller can vouch for his character. He was a young man of whom Benilde can to proud, and his passing was a loss to the senior department and the school. When we pray for Jim, let us ask God to send more like him to Benilde. 69 Senior Senate — From left to right — Richard H. Finke, Robert (moderator), Glenn M. Skoy, Thomas A. Davidson, Stephen S. J. Bevan, John V. Heck, Dean R. Gits, Brother H. Dominic Upton, Terrence J. Madden, John F. Bccklcy. Highly successful Homecoming activities marked the debut of the work of the Senior Senate of 1961-1962. Showing a sincere desire to augment the spirit of Benilde High School, the Senate has sponsored and participated in extra-curricular functions which have helped the school year move rapidly onward. Under its able and willing moderator. Brother H. Dominic, the Senate has displayed a leadership which has guided both the Class of ’62 and the entire student body. Such undertakings as the Homecoming Dance, which featured a beautiful medieval setting, the Senior Car Raffle, and the Senior Prom will always bring back fond memories for the Seniors of ’62. Traditionally, the graduating Senior class has presented a gift to the school. This year, besides the monetary gift of the- Class of ’62, the Seniors; through their Senate, have expressed a desire to extend, to the future graduating classes of Benilde High School, well wishes for continued success in future endeavors. 70 The Crystal Ball Sees: Joe Armitage as a Ph.D in Business Law . . .

Room 148, tinder the guiding hand of Brother Amedy. is. without a doubt, fust in the Junior Department. Unity and organization are the qualities that have made Room 148 the success that you sec. Unity as a single body has distinguished us from the rest of the Junior Department, as we were the only class to receive Communion as a whole every month. Organization was the prime factor which enabled the members of Room 148 to capture first place in the chocolate drive among the Juniors as it did. Room 148 represented itself well, as it entered third in the school in the drive with two of the top thiec salesmen in the school coming from Room 148. In as much as activities are concerned, there was not one membei of Room 148 who did not in some way participate in extracurricular activities of some sort. Despite this excellent representation in various activities, our room still has managed to stick close to their studies. For every marking period, there were at least fifteen members from Room 1 18 on the honor roll each marking period. All these facts are, in themselves, proof enough of why one class. Room 148 placed itself first as a model Junior Class.

Mr. Hawkins, the Father’s Club has made it the practice of asking in guest speakers. Two of these were the prominent politicians, Governor Andersen and Senator Eugene McCarthy of the United States Senate.

The Mother’s have also contributed their talented time and energies to many other things. This year they assisted Mr. Eddy in the first Twin Cities Counselor that was held at Benilde. This dinner was a singular distinction for Bcnilde because it was the first time the dinner had ever been held at a Catholic school. Our Mother’s must be complimented on the fine job that they did.

Cheerful Company So John. Not Jo Ann!! Inside” the Benilden Last spring, when this year's graduating class were Juniors, the story of this year’s Benilden began. Some of the Juniors were dissatisfied with the 1961 yearbook. With this dissatisfaction as a cause, a group of about 30 (now Seniors) began to investigate the possibilities of their producing a better yearbook. They talked to various faculty members and the yearbook moderator. Seeing their way opened by the green light of approval, these 30 became very enthusiastic. Then school closed for the summer. Summer saw little, if anything, being done. Talk was all that occurred that was connected with the yearbook. However, a few of these “30’’ kept their minds alert, always looking for new and better ways to produce a yearbook. The last of August and the opening of school saw a slight stir among the “30,” now about ten, who were still interested enough to work on a yearbook. With the later appointment of an editor, discussion of the number of pages, theme, yearbook publisher, etc., began. The arrival of the fifteenth of October saw actual work commence on the yearbook with the choice of section editors who were chosen on the merits of their qualifications and their job-status. Throughout the fall and winter the stafT worked. Finally the middle of February saw the completion of the yearbook. Then the final analysis began. What right, did we as the inexperienced, have to criticize, judge, and condemn the work of others? The answer? None!!! We of the Benilden gained some knowledge, tremendously costly knowledge, but valuable knowledge that we would not part with. That knowledge is now part of our education — and ultimately, a part of our character. Our hope, since we are in the possesion of this knowledge, is that others will ask us to give it to them — which we will be only so happy to do!! ’Hardest Worker Credits We wish to give acknowledgement and grateful thanks to the following: The Schcrling-Pletsh Studio of St. Louis Park for its cooperation and assistance. • « • The Benildc Photo Club, especially Lee Cagley for his untiring help. • The Catholic Bulletin of St. Paul for its pictures of our hierarchy. • • • Robert Harrigan and Steve Berg for their contributions. • The Moderators of the various activities for the cooperation that we received. • • • Mr. Burt Hedstrom for his suggestions and aids as American Yearbook's representative. • And to many others, who in many small but necessary tasks, extended their time and energy.

Included are the Student Congress Procedures, speech, and other activities of the National Forensic League. This years national debate topic was Federal Aid to Education. Benilde’s two Senators and four representatives in Student Congress represented the school very well, receiving both high positions and honors in their respective legislative bodies. In the spring, each member of the club chooses his own type of speaking in interscholastic contests. Also, some members participate in public speaking throughout the year. An example of this is the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association Speakers Bureau: six members of the Benildc Shield Club speaking to the public and informing of the facts about TB. Mr. O'Leary, the Shield Club moderator, has through his generous efforts aided the club in establishing these activities, and has helped many a boy learn to think and speak on his feet accurately.

Our Homecoming Dance was, due to the unceasing and untiring efforts of Brother Andrew, an unparalleled event in the history of Benilde. Brother Andrew’s theme for the dance was the medieval knighthood period. Miss Peggy Morrisey of St. Margaret’s Academy was crowned Queen by last year’s Queen, Miss Jean Warner. Miss Morrisey was escorted by Anthony Tysin. The Crack Drill Squad of St. Thomas College acted as the Queen’s Honor Guard.

[e has become a jxmer in track, e Championship in 1959, and the If when we think of a school we limit our definition to the development of the mind, then there is no place for athletics in our school system. However, school exist to develop the entire man, his body as well as his mind. A true school cannot perfect only one facet of the human creature, it must try to turn out well-rounded young me fit physically as well as mentally. Looking at a school in this light, athletics not only become allowable, they become necessary. Nothing puts a school before the public eye, nothing makes people sit up and take notice of a school more than that school’s athletic teams. Many people, unfortunately, gauge a school in all respects by the success or failure of its athletic system. If this is the case, Bcnilde can rest easy: its rating must be A-l. Although Bcnilde has been participating in a varsity sports program, as a member of the Central Catholic Conference, for only four years, the name of the Red Knights is already well-known and respected throughout the state of Minnesota and elsewhere. In football, Benilde tied for the Conference Championship in 1960. Bcnilde is the only Minnesota school that has ever defeated Boystown of Omaha, Nebraska. Basketball has further added to Bcnilde’s laurels. In 1960, the Red Knights went to the State Catholic Tournament, coming home with the Consolation Championship. Over the years k, winning the Connate Championship in 1961. Also in 1961, the Knights placed second in the state in wrestling. These and other for Benilde a name which is known to everyone at with high school sports in this area. ? 'J'he man responsible for .Benilde’s athletic program is Brother J. Mark. Without his direction, Benilde would lx nothing sports-wise. He non only originated athletics at has helped them t expand and.prosper. A t of sports. Brother ha tried to pass on this iic students of Bcnilde, through his speeches at ind through his selfless donation of priceless time and effort, whenever called upon. He has made us aware of the fact that, every student at Benilde tal in athletics, not just the uniformed gladiators on the ing field. The support of the student body is as important an ingredient of victory as coaching and practice. Himself proficient in all types of athletic endeavor, Brother Mark has given advice apd coaching to all our athletes. He is as fond of winning as gnyone, yet he never loses sight of the proper end of athletes: the perfection of the physical talents God has given him. £or this inspiration and for all other things he has donctfor Benilde, Brother Mark has our deepest gratitude and esteem. firm attitude to tl assemblies, i SPORTS Football---------------- Pa c Varsity Squad .................................................. 124 St. Thomas-Hill games............................................ 125 Cretin-De La Salle games..........................................126 All-Confcrencc Players........................................... 127 Action ........................................................ 128-9 B-Squad and Freshman Teams....................................... 130 Cross Country Cross-Country....

VARSITY FOOTBALL Plagued by lack of depth, the Bcnildc varsity football team produced some surprising results during the '61 season. Opening the schedule against Rochester Lourdes, Bcnilde waltzed to an easy 28—7 victory. The following week the Red Knights lost a heart-breaker to Boys' Town. Boys’ Town cruised to a 14—0 halftime lead, then barely fought off a furious Benildc rally to score a 21—16 victory. However, in their next till, the Knights rolled to an impressive victory over Red Wing 23—0. The line, led by Steve Berg at end, Bob Hawkins at tackle, and Bill Ritchie at guard did an outstanding job. The backficld was sparked by the brilliant running of Pat Barrett who ran for 2 TD’s and passed for another. The first conference victory for the varsity team was a win over St. Thomas 13—0. Hill fell victim to the Redmen in the next conference game. Though it was a hard-fought contest, the Red Knights’ bruising line proved too strong for the Pioneers. The Homecoming game against Cretin was a tough one for the Red Knights. After three quarters of scoreless play, the Raiders scored a touchdown to win 7 0. Riddled by injuries to key players, the Benilde squad succumbed to an inferior but courageous De La Salle squad, 13- -6. The season was completed by a 14—0 victory over Minneapolis Marshall, which placed second in the city conference. This was probably the most impressive win ever recorded by a Benilde football team. All of us should be very proud of the way our 61 varsity football team represented Benildc on the gridiron. GRIDIRON ACTION Knights Smack Tommies, 13—0 Before a relatively small crowd on a cold Sunday afternoon, the Red Knights out classed the St. Thomas Cadets by thirteen points. Once again, the formidable Benilde defensive eleven (pictured above) proved to be the mainstay of the Red Knight effort. Because of the aggressive play of Tom Bartsch and Dave Johnson, the Cadet offensive drives were halted often when it seemed a touchdown was inevitable. Pat Barrett proved to be the star of the contest, tallying twelve points on sheer determination alone. A brilliant pass interception by Ken Rota and subsequent forty yard return was nullified by a Red Knight clipping penalty. The offensive team was the victim of its own mistakes in this somewhat methodical contest. Benilde 28 .. 7 Scores of Benilde 6 . . Hill 0 Benilde 16 . ... Boystown 21 Benilde ‘0 . .

Ron Warren took over at quarterback for the injured Rick Finke and led the Redmen to a well earned victory. Tom Kirkpatrick scored the lone TD of the contest, tallying late in the second quarter on a fourth down do-or-die play. Led by Steve Berg, the defensive unit rose on numerous occasions to contain the Pioneer attack. Late in the fourth quarter, the defense stopped Hill only six yards from the game tying touchdown. Being outweighed in every position in the line, determination proved to be the winning factor for Benilde.

Excellent punting by Mike Roach and hard-nosed end play by All-state Steve Berg highlighted the contest. Ferocious defensive play was the forte of both teams. Although the student body was alive with tremendous homecoming spirit, wc were never quite able to get started; exceptional runs by Barrett and Kirkpatrick were often erased by penalties or fumbles. Finally, late in the fourth quarter, Schmid of Cretin broke through the middle of the Benilde line, for the game-winning tally. De Nips Limping Knights A host of Benilde tacklers is shown above converging on a De La Salle ball carrier, but to little avail, as the Islanders topped the Red Knights 13—6. The game was nip and tuck until the beginning of the fourth quarter when an impromptu Islander screen pass resulted in the margin of victory. Benilde scored its lone touchdown on a perfect aerial from Rich Finke to Steve Berg covering nineteen yards. As has so often been the case, Benilde seemed to be the victim of circumstances: three starters were unable to play due to injuries; penalties often nullified key runs against the Islanders; a picture-perfect field goal by Bob Hawkins was declared void due to an illegal motion infraction. The Red Knights were unable to utilize the fine pitching arm of Rick Finke because of adverse wind conditions.

Even though the team’s won loss record was rather disappointing, the team appears to have a very fine future ahead of them with many freshmen and sophomores participating this year. The team participated in dual meets with Cretin, De LaSalle, and Hill and lost to all three. The team was highlighted by the fine running of senior Garry Felland. juniors Rich Creighton and Terry Lydcll, who was handicapped by injuries, sophomores JcfT Grosseup and Tim Maher, and freshmen Ken Mar-cjuuardt and Ed Twomcy. “Jeff Grosseup,” according to Brother George, “is probably the top ninner on the team.” The team has shown much improvement this year and should have a successful season next year. 131 Cross-Country men, going Across Tough Terrain FIRST ROW: Ken Kubes; Rirk Creighton; Ron Warren; Rick Kinkc, Co-Captain; Steve Berg, Co-Captain: John Wal-lerius; Steve Smith; Ken Rota.

VARSITY BASKETBALL Despite many handicapping injuries, the basketball team developed into one of the strongest teams in the state. The Red Knights not only compiled the finest record of the year in the state, but also was the most victorious team ever to represent Bcnildc in an athletic endeavor. Early in the season, the team temporarily lost the services of Mike Quinn, who reinjured his wrist. Mike returned later in the year to pace the Knights in an all-important home stretch. The team was build around a nucleus of four veteran seniors: John Wallerius, Steve Berg, Mike Quinn, and Rick Finke. Late in January, Rick Finke severely twisted his alreadv-weak knee and was lost to the team. Rick’s loss, however, was somewhat offset by the return of Mike Quinn and the addition of Ken Kubes, a junior transfer student who became eligible at the end of the first semester. Nevertheless, Finke s injury was a tremendous blow to the Red Knights. Noted for his outstanding defensive skills, Rick always guarded the opponent's leading scorer. The increasing improvement of four juniors served as the real backbone of the team. Steve Smith and Rick. Creighton were excellent rebounders as well as scorers. The development of Ron Warren at guard and Bill Smock at center was an added asset to the team’s strength. As a team, the Red Knights seemed to jell after their first victoiy over the Islanders of DcLaSalle. From that point on. the team, despite a few shaky games with Cretin and Mill, seemed to improve as the weeks went by. A staunch defense was the main forte of the Knights, with consistent scoring running a .close second. The team should be further commended for its tremendous spirit and excellent coaching. Steve Berg was the team's leading scorer, followed by-Rick Finke and Steve Smith, in that order. From the returning juniors, we can ask for a season similar to that of 1961-1962. 132 S( ORES IVnilde. 15 ( oklen Valley IVnikV. 52 Roosevelt . . . IVnilde. .62 Mill ...........

SWIMMING TEAM This year has produced the greatest swimming team in the history of Benilde. It is composed mainly of juniors and sophomores with a few seniors and freshmen. This year, Benildc’s “merman” are under the direction of a new coach, Mr. Charbonneau. The two cocaptains. Dean Gits and Dennis Murray, have done a fine job of leading the team. Among the records broken this year have been the individual medley and the free- style. All the divers are in their first year of the sport, but have improved a great deal since the beginning of the season. Helping Mr. Charbonneau coach the team is the instructor of the Ascension Club, Mr “Gus” Gustafson. Although swimming is a team sport every event is an individual challenge.

Coach Riechcl along with co-captains Mark Hanley and Bill Suss, ably led the Red Knight Icemen throughout the season. Comprised mostly of Juniors the team shows great potential. The front line, composed of Suss, Coffman and Shute, posed a formidable scoring threat all season. Starting defensemen Palen and Waldron were capably backed up by Williams and Hanley. In the nets, Ritchie did an outstanding job in his first year of participation. With the able assistance of Brother Joseph. Brother Patrick, Mr. Thompson, and the members of the team, a milestone was reached in the attainment of lights for the rinks.

VARSITY WRESTLING The Bcnildc Wrestling Team has now entered into its fourth year of competition. Each year it has been the goal of the team to do better than the previous team. The teammates have gained knowledge which they have amassed through the years, and have combined it with sweat and experience to make the wrestling team a strong contender for the State Championship. Last year’s fine team set the example for the Junior and Sojjhomorc members to follow. Showing a fine record of twelve wins and four losses, with a second place in the State Catholic Wrestling Tournament, supports their claim as a terrific team. This year’s team is, how- ever, determined to better all previous records, and to try and remain undefeated. The spirit of the team is exceptional, and the inatmen show a definite will to win. Mr. Joranger again coached the team through a successful year. His fine coaching along with the willingness of the players to learn has developed the team highly. Some of this year’s fine wrestlers were David Hilc, JcfT Dolan, JcfT Olsen, Dave Johnson, Leo Neudcckcr, Tony Theisen, and Bill Steger. All of these men will be leaving the team at the conclusion of the season. Next year’s team, however, hopes to be as strong or stronger.

Brother Arnold, and president, Steve Berg, the Varsity Club of Benildc branched into many activities and service projects for the school. Coaches and athletes alike appreciate the convenience of a second school bus which was purchased by the Varsity Club. This bus has transported nearly all of the teams Benilde has had during the past year. The Club donated three hundred dollars toward the hockey team’s purchase of lights for the hockey rink. These lights were a big asset to the team and will lx for years to come. Members of the Varsity Clubs were officials for the intramural basketball games and also for the grade school basketball tournament during the Christmas holidays, another Varsity Club-Sponscred project. Another endeavor assumed was the selling of soda pop during the halftimes of Varsity basketball games. Keeping the trophies, which thev helped earn, and the trophy case in order, was the favorite activity of some members. Benilde can lx proud of its Varsity Club and the fine Christian sportsmen who belong to it. Four Varsity Club members toast the success of their pop machine. 148
