Faculty Certainly Benilde would not be Benilde without the people it has teaching its students. The faculty of Benilde covers o wide ronge: Several are still in their middle twenties, others have enjoyed life for over a half century. We have brothers just out of college, and a lay teocher with his doctorate. Three faculty members have been teaching Brothers for over twenty-five years. This diversity, plus the fact that all these people hove one specified objective: to teach boys as much and as well os possible, helps to make Benilde the great school that it is. Not to be forgotten, however, are those faculty members who are not direct participants in the classroom, but nevertheless play an integral part in school life: The director, who supervises the entire community and school operation,- the principal, who handles all academic tasks,- the assistant principal, who has various duties including the not so pleasant task of discipline; the secretaries, the maintenance crew, the cafeteria director and cooks, the librarian, the chaplain, and all others who work behind the scenes to insure that Benilde will remain the best possible institution that its students could possibly attend. To these and everyone in any way connected with Benilde we owe a debt of gratitude which we can repay only by becoming the kind of citizen that would make anyone proud to say he was a student at Benilde.

Brother Martin, Director What makes a job difficult? When Brother Martin assumed the job as director of Benilde High School, he found that the difficulty of this position lay not only in the functional responsibilities involved but also in the reputation associated with the position. Indeed, much was expected of the man who was to carry the responsibility of the director of Benilde. The policy at Benilde was to remain the same as in the past, according to the new director. Yet the fact re- mained that Benilde was due for a change in administration and attitude. The school had outgrown its enchantment for Benilde Firsts and now sought for ways to continue and improve those precedents that had been established. Brother Martin's efficient and dedicated efforts for the sake of Benilde and its objectives have been a constant encouragement to those who wish to see Benilde's spirit perpetuated though her form may change. 6
