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.

The Benilde Fathers' Club is one of the -most helpful organizations connected with the school while at the same time it is one of the least appreciated. The desire of these fathers is to make Benilde the birthplace of high Christian ideals by aiding the teachers in every ' way possible. They have contributed their valuable time, effort and equipment to our school. One of the most beneficial to the students at Benilde is the Educational Fund, it is a fund mode up of the dues paid at the monthly meetings by the members. It is used for the payment of the remaining portion of the high school education for students whose fathers may die.
