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

Mrs. Koch sorts Freshman pictures for student personal file. Secretaries Essential for Office Efficiency Unless a student drops into the office to discuss the smoking regulations with Brother Amedy or to seek approval of a Student Council project from Brother Justin, the average student seldom notices the industrious trio of secretaries in the Academic Office. Nevertheless, Mrs. Koch, Mrs. Biasing, and Mrs. Holmes go about their work in an efficient, steady manner. Though continuously occupied with letters, files, and records, Mrs. Koch still finds time to help a worried student. As Business Office secretary, Mrs. Biasing handles statements, checks, and receipts for the financial side of the administration. Assisting Mrs. Biasing, is Mrs. Holmes, who usually handles tuition records and other necessary assignments. Although their work is infrequently acknowledged, it forms a vital part of office efficiency. Junior Dan Winker receives a receipl from Mrs. Holmes. Mrs. Biasing displays speed and accuracy counting office money. 27
