Regan Advisors: Mr. William Duffy Mr. James Murphy His Holiness Pope Paul VI As the class of '64 takes its big step into the world, the Roman Catholic Church is taking a similar step out of the bonds which have isolated it from the comtemporary world for centuries. Leading this movement is our dynamic new Pope Paul VI. We thank Cod for this wise and courageous leader in this time of world crisis. His Excellence Archbishop Binz Archbishop Binz has been serving the Archdiocese of St. Paul for only two years, but already he has become venerated by his flock as a true man of God and an excellent example for their religious lives. The archbishop has handled his duties with the warm and friendly attitude that have made him so well loved by his sheep. 2 Benilden Dedicated to a Dedicated Benildan BROTHER PATRICK. I In Senior Class of 1964 dedicates the Benilden to Brother J. Patrick simply because he lias proven himself so dedicated to us. Before being elevated to the position of Director of Benilde High School, Brother was Assistant Principal and taught Religion and Mathematics. He has been at Benilde since its founding and is second only to Brother Mark, the school's first Director, as a guiding force behind Benilde's rapid progress as an institution of superior excellence. As a teacher, a counselor, or a principal. one quality stands out to make Brother Patrick on of the most respected Brothers at Benilde. This quality is his devotion and dedication to our school. Benilde High School is primarily the student .body and no one has done more to bring us to this vital realization and to make us proud ol Benilde and worthy of its traditions. Brother Patrick has set an example of the same courage, pride and justice of which the Red Knight is symbolic. He is an example which we shall never forget. Brother Patrick as a teacher. Brother Patrick as a friend and counselor. Brother Patrick as a representative of Benilde.

Athletics provide for the enrichment of the participants, the enjoyment of the spectators, and the unifying of a school through school spirit. Here. Coach Habcn inspires the basketball team to a victory over Winona Cotter. 6 ACADEMICS ... An excellent symbol of academics at Benilde is Senior Jerry Babcock, foreground, who has ranked number one scholastically in his class for four years. FACULTY . . . Benilde's faculty, composed of Christian Brothers and lay teachers, is viewed through the door of the physics classroom during a monthly faculty meeting. ACTIVITIES ... An important part of school life is the social activities such as these couples dancing at the Knight’s Ball. 7 OUT OF THE DIM TWILIGHTS The traditions, virtues and glories of that noble era when knighthood was in flower are reborn in a modern world. The symbol of Benilde is the Red Knight, and as the Knight of old was proud of his heritage, so do the students of Benilde seek to manifest pride in their school, and in themselves. As the Knight of old was courageous, so do the students of Benilde seek to develop the courage to lace a modern, perplexing, and often frustrating world. As the Knight of old was strong, so do the Red Knights of Benilde seek to build strength in themselves —morally, physically and intellectually — through self-discipline and self-sacrifice. As the Knight of old loved his creator, and devoted every action to His will, so do the Red Knights of Benilde endeavor to serve their God and dedicate their entire lives to His greater honor and glory. Indeed, it is to the precious chivalries of the past that the Benilde Red Knights turn for example and inspiration in this troubled world. This, then, is ... . ♦ ♦ ♦ . A MEDIEVAL REINCARNATION Acquisition of knowledge through experiment . . . Red Knights Search For Knowledge to Acquisition of wisdom through expression of ideas... Truth and Wisdom A school, mired in extracurricular activities, from parent clubs to football teams, is hardly indicative of the first institutions of learning But schools have come a long way and along with the advancement has come a broadening of vistas. The vistas of Benilde are all encompassing but still revolving around the prevalent mood of any good school —academics. From the timid, naive freshman; to the know-it-all beligerent sophomore; from the questioning, rebelling junior; to the refined and educated senior, the Benilde student's life is centered completely on the 8 hours of class and 3 at home spent on schoolwork. We study, we experiment, we discuss, and we learn, for the minds of Benilde hunger for the food of Academics. 11 Football —Athletic Skill . . . Swimming—Athletic Coordination . . . Red Knight Athletes Display Wrestling—Athletic Strength . . . 12 Skill, coordination and strength combine for the “big play'. Skill, Strength and Coordination The shrill blast of a referee's whistle; the tumultuous cheering of an enthusiastic crowd; the blare of a noisemaker; the purr of admiration from an awed lass; the harsh scream of an irate coach. These are the sounds an athlete will remember. To Benilde, athletics are an integral part of school life. For the athlete — participation; for the spectator—an opportunity to express school spirit. Athletes are a great cohesion force, binding a school together in a common purpose — unifying, and thus strengthening, both the school and themselves. Athletics at Benilde have a two-fold purpose —they teach good sportsmanship ami they win fame for the school. Last year we won statewide fame for the school in all sports. this year we re the best sports in the Catholic Conference. No Bed Knight will leave Benilde untouched by the athletics he participated in either physically or vocally; always they will play a major part in the making of a Red Knight into a more complete man. I 13 Knights Manifest School Spirit in Activities “Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are.” Everybody says it and everybody believes it but nobody does anything about it. Benilde has done something about it. Healthy atmospheres are created for all forms of activities and from these activities come the friends that help make Benilde students what they are. Friends arguing in the Student Council, friends dancing at a soc hop, friends studying a tough algebra assignment together, all of these are indicative of true Benilde friendships spurred on by the atmosphere of its activities. Activities of Benilde will always be the fields where good friendships can be planted and cultivated. As long as the friends associated with Benilde stay as qualitative as the ones of “63 and “64” Benilde activities will never be failing in their high objectives, and school spirit, measured intriniscally with friendship, will always be high. School Spirit Manifested in Enthusiasm at a Basketball Game. School Spirit Manifested in Emotion School Spirit Manifested in Social Life School Spirit Manifested in Extra-Curriculars 13 Benilde Builds Men An assembly line is judged on the quality of its product. Its finished product is the fruit of the labors of each and every one of its workers. They labor and produce a perfect reflection of themselves in their final piece of workmanship. When they fail, and all assembly lines at one time or another fail, the product’s inadequacies are entirely settled on their already weary shoulders. Our assembly line is Benilde. Students at Benilde are only raw materials, teachers are but laborers and the school itself is a mere assembly line. from year to year the raw material comes in as freshmen. The workers mold and remold them — correcting their faults, while retaining their initiative. As the years go on. the young, once unsecure freshman growing in experience and tempered by past mistakes, climb the rungs in the ladder of life. As the stages of development are passed, the final product of Benilde comes to light. The hoy once gullible, is now questioning; the boy once knowing, is now understanding; the boy once afraid, is now confident; the boy once a boy, is now a man. 16 Men in leadership . . .

I vi A' V Academics Back in 1684, when the echo of the tournament was fading forever into the annals of history, a priest was administering an oath of obedience to twelve young men in a French chapel. No crowd had gathered —there was no fanfare of trumpets, yet this seemingly insignificant event marked the beginning of one of the greatest and most noble experiments yet witnessed by man. The priest was Father John Baptist de la Salle, and the twelve men were the first members of the religious order he had just founded —the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Until this time, an education was available only to those wealthy enough to hire a tutor or go to one of the great universities. For these few. opportunity was unlimited; for everyone else, it was virtually nonexistent. It was the dream of Fr. de la Salle to have an education available to anyone who wanted one, regardless of whether or not he could afford it. He instituted the method of classroom teaching so he could bring knowledge to a greater number of people. To these dreams Fr. de la Salle dedicated his life and his new order. With the Christian Brothers came a revolution —not only in education, but in every facet of society. Humanity started to loose the shackles of ignorance which had kept the rich and poor worlds apart. For his great service to God and humanity. Father John Baptist de la Salle was made a Saint of the Catholic Church in 1900. Today, there are over 12,000 Christian Brothers spreading the noble ideals of their founder to all parts of the earth. The students of Benilde can truly be thankful for our faculty —Brothers and lay teachers alike. Besides dedicating themselves to giving us the best education possible, they have tried to instill in us the humility, righteousness and quest for the knowledge of God that they hold so dear. BROTHER AMEDY, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL Administration Upon These Shoulders Falls The Burden Of Benilde Ever since Benilde opened its doors for the first time seven years ago, its students have been familiar with the pleasant smile and warm personality of Brother Patrick. Because of his character and ability. Brother has been elevated to the position of Director for the 1963-64 school year. Under Brother Patrick as principal is Brother Justin. Brother also served in his present capacities last year, and has become a symbol of the capable and determined leadership necessary for success in this cold, cruel world. Rounding out the administration is Brother Amedy, our assistant principal. Brother has been given the difficult and often unrewarding task of maintaining discipline at Benilde, but his friendly and unselfish manner has won the hearts of all those who know him. BROTHER PATRICK, DIRECTOR BROTHER JUSTIN, PRINCIPAL 20 BROTHER ARTHUR MRS. LADD Guidance Director Guidance Office Secretary The doors of the guidance offices are always open. Brother Arthur and Mrs. Ladd are willing to aid the student in any matter concerning his college career. Brother Arthur, through numerous bulletins, enlightens the student about college choices and scholarship opportunities. Father O’Connor is always available for counseling the student in spiritual matters. His friendly manner and smile are well known around Benilde where he hears confessions, and helps out on numerous school functions.

Mrs. Holmes keeps ihe records on the unpaid hills. MRS. KOCH MRS. BLASING Office Secretary Finance Office Secretary Typewriters ticking, telephones ringing, and Mrs. Koch aiding a needy student. This is a typical office scene from 8:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. One does not see all this activity unless he has to see the assistant principal for disciplinary reasons or pay up a bill in the finance office. But through the able guidance of Mrs. Koch and the two finance secretaries, Mrs. Biasing and Mrs. Holmes, the Benilde records are kept on the up and up. HERE'S YOUR FIRST WARNING LETTER FROM THE STUDENT COUNCIL. BROTHER ... Mrs. Biasing looks over a financial problem with Brother Patrick. 22 NOW THAT WE’VE MADE OUR BOMB.

Science Men of Benilde Are Taught For as long as any Benilde student can remember, science at Benilde has meant “The Big Three - Brother Raymond, Brother Theodore, and Brother Stephen, teaching physics, chemistry and biology respectively. Each of these excellent teachers comes to us with many years of experience • each is a respected authority in his field. These three Brothers have collectively spent nearly a century dedicating their lives in the unselfish service to God and their students. They have earned the warmest respect, admiration, and appreciation from the Red Knights of Benilde. AND NOW FOR A LITTLE PUN . . .

A Benilde Religion Course The most important phase in the Christian Brother's education of the “whole man” at Benilde is spiritual guidance and religious instruction. The Religion department, headed by Senior advisor Brother J. Benedict, seeks to give students a better understanding of Catholic principles and doctrines along with some of the aspects of theology. The Religion teachers were aided in instructing all four departments with the Living with Christ series of textbooks. This year at Benilde students were taught with greater objectivity, depth, and liberalism than ever before. BROTHER MARK BROTHER GEORGE Religion I; Latin I.

In light of this, the Senior class at Benilde, for example, is given a comprehensive course in Sociology, covering everything from “Africa Today to income tax forms. While Mathematics prepares us for the calculating world of an engineer and Physics or Chemistry for the experimental world of a scientist, the social sciences at Benilde strive to prepare young men for the ever-changing society which he is about to enter.

Computors, data control and processing machines all use mathematics as a foundation. In the future the world will belong to the technician, and the faculty of Benilde is aware of this fact. Consequently Mr. Montain, Mr. Panyan, Brother Francis, Mr. O'Reilly and our moderator, Br. Raymond are constantly striving to give the students an excellent college background and prepare them for a rewarding career.

Students attending Latin II and III classes also publish a Latin newspaper to gain more understanding of the language. OH NO!

The main function of the business department is to provide training in business principles. This is done through economics, taught by Brother Bernard, and bookeeping and business law, taught by Brother Leonard. These courses provide an excellent background for those who wish to pursue a business career. YESSS . . . Brother Andrew sets timer for a timed writing. A student in the bookstore.

English Students Study Expression of Ideas - The Of all the courses offered at high school, English is probably the most important, yet the least appreciated. Far too many students trudge into English class thinking that the next hour will be an ideal time to catch up on last night’s sleep or think about what went on last night that cost them said sleep. On the other hand, those intent on learning will find the rewards of English class to far surpass their efforts in achieving them. In the world of today, nothing is more important than communication. Before one can really fulfill a purpose in life, he must have the ability to gather ideas and exchange them with others. Since we live in an English-speaking nation, we must have English to learn the art of communicating with those around us. WELL. IT SAYS RIGHT HERE IN BLACK AND WHITE . . .

Spearheaded by the able direction of Brother Louis Andrew, the competent library staff sees that that’s where they stay. Throughout the year, the fires of thought were kindled in all present, and though the surging smell of smoke may have hampered some minds, silence normally prevailed and the quality of studying was edifying. Yes, the true value of a library to its school cannot be measured in the number of volumes it encompasses. The essence of a library is the simplicity of an adequate shelving system, the tranquil atmosphere for good study, and the maintenance of the important qualitative books and magazines of the contemporary times. Surely the system of learning at Benilde High School is more diversified and solidly established because of the overall excellence of our library. SENIOR BOOK REPORTS DUE TOMORROW. . .

His 9 month program has been questioned of course —2 days for tumbling, 2 days for basketball, 4 days for wrestling, 4 days for football, and SVz months for calisthenics. Still, all joking aside.

To them we owe a special kind of praise: for every desk they’ve dusted, for every ladder they’ve climbed, for every floor they’ve swept; for these things we are indebted. Now, in this, our own , small way, we hope to show them that their constant efforts for the betterment of our school were not in vain. Mr. Holme dispose trash in the incinerator. .

Assisting her this year, are Mrs. Betty Rosenow, Mrs. Doris Christiansen. Mrs. Florence W'ilkins, and Mrs. Marilyn Brenner. This year the cafeteria has become renowned for its good food and pleasant atmosphere. Initiated this year is a convenient lunch ticket system and an easy-credit plan for buying milk. We of Benilde are very proud of our cafeteria and keep it very clean. MRS. CHRISTIANSEN MRS. WILKINS MRS. ROSENOW MRS. BRENNER Seniors In medieval times, knighthood was an order of warriors —avowed to protect their homeland from the ravages of others and to practice and uphold the principles of Christianity. Many trials and responsibilities fell upon the broad shoulders of the knight, but courage and responsibility were his life. He was always prepared to meet them. Knighthood was also an honor, attainable only after many years of dedication and hard work. Before becoming a knight, a young man had to prove his worthiness in many ways. Among these were the strength to perform the difficult tasks assigned him, the wisdom to discern and pursue the truth, and the fortitude to keep from faltering in the face of adversity. As the Red Knights of Benilde, we, the class of 1964, have tried to prove ourselves worthy of our medieval heritage. We have worked during our four years and have tried to prove ourselves worthy of our medieval heritage. W'e have worked during our four years and have tried in our own modest way to improve the standards of this institution. But we have received more than we could ever hope to put in. Now our memories of Benilde are in the past, and it seems as though we are leaving behind a part of our life. It almost angers one when he realizes how much he loves his school only upon leaving it. How much more we could have done. . .if only we could have seen it then! But we can’t keep looking to the past—only the future lies ahead. Beyond Benilde —way far off on the distant horizon —lies a goal. It sure seems a long way off—perhaps a little hazy yet —but we’ve got a whole lifetime ahead of us to reach it......................

September 28, immediately preceding the Benilde-St. Thomas game, the school’s new combined track and football field was dedicated. The field was named Brother Mark Memorial Field, and Brother Mark himself was there to accept the honors. Even though the weather was cold, windy and drizzling, the spirits of the crowd were high and he was warmly received. Brother, who is now teaching in Kentucky, modestly accepted the honor, but not without citing and praising other people who played a great part in the promotion and construction of the field. Up to this time, Benilde was forced to employ the use of the athletic facilities of other schools! The 12-0 loss to St. Thomas was somewhat soothed by the pride the Red Knights had in playing on their own field —another Brother Mark first. BROTHER MARK.

Benilde Seniors Star in St. Margaret’s ’’Seven Sisters” A little known extension of the Benilde Drama Club is the female division of St. Margaret’s Academy. The girl’s fall play was ‘‘Seven Sisters” —a farce on love and marriage. The story takes place in a foreign country where, with the help of Horkoy (Peter Blake) a widowed mother of 7 girls attempts to marry off 2 of her daughters to an army colonel (Mike Bailey) and a military playboy (Jim Carufel). Horkoy and mama are successful but Horkoy is trapped into marriage himself. These Benilde seniors helped make the production of “Seven Sisters” a success. MICHAEL EDW ARDS Cool it.

Seniors Revel in Homeroom Christmas Parties Office Christmas parties are becoming famous in our modern world. In keeping with this trend, (since school is more or less a big business anyway), our modern administration granted the modern Benildites an hour of first period on December 20th for a homeroom Christmas party. Soon Santas were romping all over the place, goodies were being gulped down, the sound of folk singing pervaded the halls and last but not least the clink of nickels and the shuffling of cards could be distinguished amidst the merriment.

All too often, in high school recognition tends to go primarily to the star athlete or big party giver. Because of this the National Honor Society was founded. Its purpose is to increase the initiative of the potentially good student by offering him recognition too. In the Benilde chapter of the N.H.S., 15% of the Senior class and 5% of the Junior class are elected at a meeting of the faculty. They are selected on the basis of outstanding scholarship, leadership, service, and character. JOHN HOLAHAN John Whatever it is. I didn't do it.

Without a doubt, one of the most bitter rivalries in this area has been that of Benilde and De La Salle. This rivalry is most keenly reflected in the Benilde • De La Salle basketball games, probably because the teams — the two most powerful in the state — are so evenly matched. This year, the first of four games with De La Salle gave a hint of what was to come when Benilde, behind by five points with only 39 seconds left, came back to tie De and send the game into overtime. We went on to lose that one and the next two also, but now the stage was set for the dramatic upset when Benilde defeated De in the game that really counted —the Semi finals of the state tournament, and went on to win the state championship!

After a brain straining week of study, the soc-hop is a necessity-undoubledly saving scores of Benildites from despair und insanity. Indeed. Benilde can be proud of its soc-hops.

Although much has been made of the renowned official publications of Benilde. one should not get the impression that they have a corner on the literary market at our school. Due primarily to the efforts of Dave Pence and Mike Johnson, homeroom 149 also has an official publication — The Erudition, Dave and Mike started it out as their English project, but it was so popular that the whole room adopted it and kept it going for the remainder of the year. While the main purpose of The Erudition is to provide entertainment and laughs, mostly through brash, unmitigated sarcasm and slander, it does have some academic value.

It required a great amount of work and sacrifice, beginning early in childhood and culminating only when the candidate had proven himself worthy beyond any doubt of the honor and responsibility that come with knighthood. The first step on the road to knighthood was becoming a page. As a page, a boy would learn to read and write and become familiar with the code of chivalry. He would also develop a great loyalty to his lord, his king, and his God. After being a page for about seven years, the boy would become a squire. Each squire was assigned to the service of a knight, and he would learn from his master’s example. During his years as a squire, his assignments would become more and more difficult. To perform them required that the boy become more and more manly, until one day he could put on his armor and step out into the world as a knight. The underclassman at Benilde can be likened to the squire of old. As the duties of the squire were not easy, neither is the life of one working towards graduation at our school. Much hard work and self-sacrifice are required by the Brothers, but the reward is great for those who stand up to it. At Benilde, the Red Knight of today is developing physically, morally, and intellectually so that some day he can proudly step out into the world of men. Junior Class, Numbering 304 Prepares to Assume School Leadership It has often been said that the junior year is the best high school has to offer. A third year man isn’t burdened by freshman timidity, sophomore cockiness or senior anxiety. Presented with this situation. the class of ’65 has made many contributions to Benilde while maintaining a scholarly attitude. An outstanding example of junior leadership has been the student council, where Jim Lucas, Mike Kalland. Rick Rosow and Mike Mahoney have given excellent service to the student body as members of the executive board. The rest of the class has been very generous with their time and energy in serving the Council on committees and taking part in projects. If one looked at the ranks of any sports aggregation. religious club, or other extra-curricular activity at Benilde, he would be impressed by the number of Juniors providing leadership throughout the school and doing plain hard work to make it a better place for themselves and others. When the members of this industrious class become seniors next fall, the torch of leadership will have been handed to a group worthy and capable of it. JUNIOR EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS - Jim I.ucas.

They are dynamic; they are in a hurry to go places; to achieve important goals. They have given Benilde the best B-squad basketball and football teams that the school has ever had. Scholastically, they are the highest ranking Sophomore class in Benilde’s history. They have talent, spirit, and promise and they realize it. Already the Sophs are pushing the slower Juniors for leadership in the school next year. A Sophomore is renowned as a ‘know-it-all , but the class of 66 seems to have conquered this stigma. This year's sophomore class numbers among its distinctions: the publishing of a Latin newspaper; two Biology teachers and classrooms; the spearheading of the Laker ticket drive by a sophomore homeroom; B-squad sports teams with phenomenol won-lost records. Outstanding individuals in the Sophomore class include: Jerry Lucas, head of the Audio-Visual department of the Student Council; John Keiser, a regular columnist for the Lancer, Larry Guyer. Associate Editor of the Benilden; Steve Cramer, who sings solo for the Glee Club; Art Moore, starting foreward on the Varsity Basketball team. B-TEAM BASKETBALL PLAYERS . . .

Bartoletti B. Bauman D. Beauchane Bill Becker J. Bcckius It all began on a sunny day in September 1963. A swarm of approximately 300 young men suddenly converged on Benilde High School —a sea of humanity pushing aimlessly through the hall and gradually sifting into the rooms. They varied in height from a little less than three feet to a little over six feet, but they all had one thing in common —they were all ready to leave the sheltered cove of grade school and embark on the stormy seas of high school life. When they, the class of ’67, came to school for the First time, the reaction was typical. First came raucous, uncontrollable laughter, followed by rancorous jokes and discrimination. The Frosh took it in stride, however, and as the months passed they began to show what they were made of. They became the most active “joiners in the school. Their athletic teams performed in a way that all of Benilde can be proud of. But the big turning point came when it was learned that the class of '67 is the smartest in history of the school. Now that this hectic First year has come to an end for the Freshman, no one can blame him for letting out a sigh of relief. Its been rough and he's glad its over, but its memories will never be forgotten. 98 Ken Beekwilh Michael Bellos John Benden John Berg D.

Almost every conceivable religious order was represented and students from all over the area attended. The Freshmen seemed quite interested in the various religious vocation booths, while on the other hand the seniors seemed more interested in the girls from Holy Angels, indicating perhaps that they have already decided upon another vocation.

Winchester Robert Witte Charles Worm Tom Wozniak Robert Zeclt Peter Zierhut Activities People today tend to think of knights mainly as an order of warriors —strong and courageous men who risked their lives daily in search of honor and adventure. This, however, is only a small part of what knighthood really stood for. Perhaps the most outstanding quality of the knight was the grace, chivalry, and sense of social responsibility ingrained in him during his years of training. As a page and squire, he was taught to always give a helping hand to anyone in need of assistance —especially widows and orphans. He was taught to honor womanhood and treat all ladies with due chivalry. Above all, he was taught that he was only respected by others to the extent that he respected them. The true aim of knighthood was to develop the whole man, and no man is complete without social well-being and an inherent consideration for others. As students of Benilde, we live in a much different world than did the knights of old. Nearly everything has changed, but we still hold true that undying belief so sacred to the order of knighthood —that our obligations and consideration cannot be limited to ourselves, but must be shared with all mankind. We were born in a world full of people —now it is our duty to try to live in it. It is with these ideals that the Red Knight of today approaches his social life. In order to he a man. he must live with men, enjoy their company, and love humanity. Parents Assist Benilde Through Mothers’ Mr . Igo. President of the Mothers’ Club conducts the January meeting.

The Mothers’ Club meets the second Wednesday of every month to plot other means by which they can assist the school. The Benilde Fathers’ Club is known primarily for its tremendous assistance in the building of Benilde’s new athletic field, dedicated this year. Also, the Fathers’ Club provides a program which pays the tuition of a hoy whose father dies while the hoy is attending Benilde.

A show of hands i� railed for on a crucial vote involving the publmh-ing of Executive Board Reports. Note delegates seated in front and observers standing in rear. Most Dynamic in State! The Student Council of Benildc High Schrtol makes Benilde unique among schools. In only its second year of existence, the organization has grown so that it now en compasses over fifty organizations, each one of them operated exclusively by the students of Benilde High School. The Student Council is divided into three main groups: The Executive Board, and the Committees of the board members; the general assembly; and the students themselves. In the spring of the year ten executive members are elected after a nominating convention and campaign. These members then carry out the executive tasks of the Student Council during the next year. Yet. government is not government without equality in representation. This is what the General Assembly is. Each homeroom is allowed to elect 2 delegates to represent them on matters concerning student government. The 64 members meet twice a month and vote on all important student issues. Controversy and debate highlight the meetings as Senior delegates usually set the pace for their fellow-representatives. With A1 Wilson presiding, parliamentary procedure ruling, immunity protecting and the student body watching, the General Assembly is the effective tool of the masses to rule themselves.

Quite a few, for where the football and basketball teams went, so also went the cheerleaders, guiding and enflaming the spirit of the Red Knight supporters. This year, the group of 7 (organized by Tom Ambrose and Bob Kceley and decked out with new uniforms financed by the Student Council, led by Captain and mascot-drumbeater Dave Pence) led cheers at all football and basketball games plus pep rallies. Unlike last year, the Benilde cheerleaders did not number among their corps beautiful pom-pom girls. Nevertheless the group became renowned for their excellence and certainly pleased Benilde’s female supporters at any rate. CHEERLEADERS - Left to Right: Ron Cybyake. Peter Rlake. David Pence.

Editor and Advisor Mr. Duffy, the Lancer published nine editions this year, consisting of four pages —first page; editorial page; sports page; and feature page. New to the paper this year was an underclassmans corner, written by John Keiser to cover underclassman sports events; this year also saw the rise of a bold editorial policy that brought important world issues to light (both sides of the story) instead of the normal editorials on treating library books well or some other matter. Assisting Editor I.aBat. was Associate Editor Hick Rosow. With the aid of the other editors, articles were assigned, whipped into shape, pictures were assembled and a pleasing, professional looking paper was published. Joe La Rnt.

The 1964 Benilden probably had the most handsome editors in the school's history. The first decision concerning this year’s Benilden was to have a spring delivery. Due to unfortunate circumstances, actual work did not begin until October 25, however, the staff and editors were determined to produce a truly fine Benilden for the students of Benilde. Five months later, after much study and hard work, the Benilden was completed. Many mistakes were made, but we are proud of our work, BENILDEN EDITORS . . . Kneeling, left to right: Bill Borrhert.

In the Christmas basket drive over seventy needy families dined like royalty for at least one meal of the year. The chief aim of the Legion is, however, to bring its members closer to God through the mediation of the Blessed Mother. The most significant accomplishment of the Contact Corps was the All-City Mass.

Such performances include parish concerts at St. Raphaels. Annunciation and St. John the Baptist and also one at Nazareth Hall. They presented a very fine joint concert with De La Salle but the highlights of the year were the Spring Concert where the Red Knights and the girls glee clubs from St. Margarets and Regina joined in a combined chorus, and the other Spring Concert in which Bcnilde hosted, and sang together with St. Patrick's High School from Chicago.

Debators Develop Mental Way back in August, when most Benilde students were trying their hardest to keep thoughts of school out of their minds, the hardworking members of the Shield Club' were already hard at work planning their offensive for the upcoming season. Early in September they were already burning the midnight oil outlining their cases for or against the resolution that “Social Security benefits should be extended to include complete medical care.” At the beginning of the season, the team was revitalized by a new-member drive which turned up many excellent underclassmen. Perhaps the most promising were Sophomores Ted Sweetser and Mike Schaffer. Led by officers Jim Carufel, Joe LaBat, Rick Rosow and Pet4 Krieser, the ’64 edition of the Shield Club had a successful season. Much of the credit fot the success of Benilde debate teams, both this year and in the past must be given to Mr. Peter K. O’Leary, outstanding moderator and coach. “A team debaters C.hurk Griffith and Rick Rosow listen attentively as Jim Carufel presents his negative position. 1 28 Agility, Speaking Ability Senior debaters do research on this year’s topic.

This year, the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, numbering 38 Bcnildites taught 575 youngsters, from third to eighth grade. The classes of religious instruction, for the children, unable to attend parochial schools were conducted at the schools of Good Shepherd, and St. Joseph’s parish. These unselfish student teachers devoted their time and talents by preparing lessons, tests and report cards, and, of course, the Saturday morning teaching session. Also, first year teachers attended night class themselves once a week where they were taught religious teaching methods by Brother Mark.

Red Knights Return . . . Homecoming-1963 Benilde’s 1963 Homecoming will not soon be forgotten. The game was against St. Thomas, and Red Knights both on and off the field craved victory. But as the fourth quarter drew to a close, it was obvious that victory would not be the result. The Cadets started out with a flourish, recovering a fumble on the opening kickoff and scoring on the very next play. Behind by six points and foiled by penalties and pass incompletions, the Knights could not move the ball significantly except near the end of the first half, when a long pass was snatched deep in St. Thomas territory. But after an unsuccessful field goal attempt, the Red Knights offense became virtually stagnant for the remainder of the game. The game, however, was only part of the day's activity. Present to dedicate the new athletic field named in his honor was Brother J. Mark, who is now-stationed in Kentucky and had made a special effort to be present for the occasion. 136 Benilde's Homecoming Button The Blue Dragon of Homeroom 140, constructed by Brother Andrew and crew, captured enough votes to merit first prize in the Homecoming Float Competition. 137 Quern Jeanne Richter reign in regal splendor over Red Knights' Homecoming.

A haze slowly drilled over rain-soaked Brother Mark field, where earlier the gallant Red Knights had tasted defeat at the hands of the Cadets from St. Thomas Academy. A slight drizzle was still falling as the remaining luminescence waned from the heavily overcast sky. Suddenly, as if by magic, the clouds broke open. The moon bathed the scene of remorse with her friendly glow, and seemed to weave an enchanting spell in the swirling mist. In the distance could he heard the voices of Red Knights and their ladies as they came from near and far to share in the spirit that envelopes Benilde only once every fall. By 9:30 the magic had taken its full effect. In a fantastic medieval setting created by Brother Harold Andrew. Benilde's own Merlin, Miss Jeanne Richter of St. Anthony High School was named Homecoming Queen for 1963-64.

Athletics As the sun slowly begins to settle on the western hills, its golden shafts seem to set the valley afire with their warm glow. The gallery is filled with people, their gay costumes creating a weaving maze of color in the dazzling light. Every now and then the shrill laughter of a frivolous lass or the bellowing of a rowdy youth rises above the anxious murmur of the anticipating crowd. Suddenly, the air is pierced by the sound of trumpets —then all is silent. All eyes turn towards the gate across the mall —the knights on their thoroughbreds, sheathed in shining armor and flanked by their squires, begin to enter in procession. The tournament has begun! During the dark ages, the tournament was a contest designed to prepare the knight for battle and keep him physically fit. Performance in the tournament was indicative of how valuable the knight would be in actual battle, so he put much time and hard work in preparation so he could prove his worth and. perhaps, walk away with the cherished prize. As the tournament prepared the knight for battle, so do sports at Benilde help prepare the athlete for a battle —the battle of life. To become a successful person in this modern world, one must have inherent in his nature the qualities of strength, character and self-discipline. It is in developing these characteristics that athletics performs its greatest service. We praise our athletes for winning fame and honor for our school, and we salute them for the spirit they have shown in developing themselves into true Christian gentlemen.

Take thirty or forty talented, high spirited football players, sprinkle generously with penalties, fumbles, pass interceptions and other bad breaks, and put them in one of the toughest conferences in the state. Your product — the most disappointing year in Benilde football annals. After the first few games, it was obvious that the season had developed into a waiting game — when would the Red Knights start to click? Their first impressive showing came against Cretin, a team which had won 21 straight games. Early in the 4th quarter, Kim Vogelsang split the uprights with his first field goal, and the team took a 3-0 lead. Had the team finally started to roll? Cretin received the kickoff, and the Benilde stands became conspicuously silent as the visitors marched steadily down-field and won 7-3. After two ties, the Knights played their 63 finale at home against Rochester Lourdes — traditionally a doormat for Benilde powerhouses. After receiving the opening kickoff, the men in red pummeled the Rochester defense and drove to the opposition 13 yard line. Perhaps. at long last, they had started to click.....

A week later the team took a 6-0 lead over La Crosse Aquinas only to see their victory snatched away in the closing minutes by an opposing touchdown. Two conference losses followed as Benilde was shut out two straight games by St. Thomas and Hill. The Red Knights almost pulled the whole season out of the fire however in a tenaciously fought game with Cretin, undefeated in six years of Central Catholic Conference gridiron competition. The Knights carried a 3-0 lead into the fourth quarter only to have the Raiders score a touchdown in the closing minutes against the exhausted defenders. One rugged game followed another as Benilde dueled to a scoreless tie with traditional rival De La Salle. Closing out Conference play with a 0-3-1 record, the Red Knights tied Austin Pacelli 14-14 and were edged by Rochester Lourdes 46-6. Outstanding players on the team were tricaptains, Gene Coffman, quarterback, and A1 Wilson and Jerry Babcock, tackles. Halfbacks Ken Waldron and Mike Perry and linemen Bob Lani-gan and Bob Jordan were also impressive.
