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.

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.
