O wonder how many times a day a Benilde student hears these words as he enters into the academic office. But more important than the words are the actions and service which back them up. Neither Mrs. Koch nor Mrs. Blazing ever seem too busy to answer a question, fill out a form or perform any other service when colled on. Benilde students owe much to this championship team. 24

Activities Studies alone do not moke a student a well rounded individual. This situation, however, is taken care of by the many extra-curricular activities offered to students at Benilde. In addition to the immense variety of sports, which will be presented in another section of this book, many different types of non-sports activities are offered to the students; enough to satisfy even the most discriminating young man. For those religiously inclined the Legion of Mary is always ready to welcome new members. Other city religious groups are also available, though not connected directly with the school. For those interested in intellectual stimulation, or who simply like to talk, the Shield Club offers a chance to do both. The Student Council and its many activities ore available to the boy who wants to be of help to the school, learn about government, or simply have more than the average person to say about what goes on in his school. Anyone interested in publications work need go no further than the Lancer or Benilden offices. The musically inclined have the Glee Club and Band, while those with a desire to hove their talents appreciated by a larger audience will be given an opportunity to display their giftedness as a member of the drama club. The students of Benilde are very fortunate to have as great an opportunity for extra-curriculars as they do.
