Through Enlarged Facilities, Increased Personnel When Benilde students returned to school in September of 1964 they noticed a spacious new addition next to the Academic office. Brother Arthur and his staff had moved into a beautiful new office. The students found this office occupied by an enlarged staff of dedicated men, eager to help them with any problems they might have had. Occupational counseling is handled by Brother Arthur. Mr. Haben. Brother Theodore, and individual counselors from each department. Vocational counseling is provided by Brother Bruno and Brother Terrence. Each student is given the opportunity to make an appointment with one of the guidance counselors through Mrs. Ladd, the guidance office secretary. Nearly everyone will agree that the guidance department has become increasingly more effective during the past year. Brother Arthur and his staff are one of the many factors that have contributed to Benilde's greatness this year. Mr. Haben shows Senior Tom Rogers the current trend in rising college enrollment. Brother Terrence shows Senior Tom Bezek the latest programs in ROTC. 25

Father O’Connor Projects Christian Spirit Father O’Connor answers questions on the new changes in the liturgy. In the past three years. Father Vincent O'Connor has been both priest ami friend to all Benilde students. Although he retains the position of assistant pastor at Good Shepherd Parish. Father O’Connor has always been ready to donate his time as chaplain at Benilde. Every Thursday his door opens to all students for confessions or for spiritual counsel. Father also provides the opportunity for school-wide participation at First Friday Mass and daily reception of Holy Communion in the brother’s chapel. Benilde has been fortunate during the past year to have Father O'Connor as its chaplain. Senior Ed Twomcy receive Holy Communion from Father O'Connor at the mas of the Holy Spirit. 26
