Seniors . . . . 120 172 Spring 4 Dedicated in a Tradition to One Who Is Dedicated Many students of Benilde High School have been privileged for the last nine years to at one time or another fall under the shadow of Mr. James Joranger. Mr. Joranger is a man who walks tall both in and out of class. He is respected for his ability, drive, and dedication. He is respected on the football field and on the wrestling mat. Above all he is respected not merely as a teacher but as a man. Mr. Joranger has almost become a tradition in himself here at Benilde. He has taught and coached since the school was founded. It is to his dedication to Benilde that we dedicate this book. Mr. Joranger pushes the backfield. He has been B-squad coach for football and assistant coach for varsity. He also coaches varsity wrestling. Putting a few questions on the board, Mr. Joranger keeps his classes working. This year he taught all of the Seniors under a new team teaching system he started. At some point there was an idea and this idea became Benilde. It was made of bricks and wood and wire, a building with a name. This building, called Benilde and set up to prepare young Catholic men for college, has been standing for nearly nine years. But Benilde is more than a building, Benilde is a tradition-here and now. A tradition which has been and is being built; in, around, and for these walls. These are the reasons it stands proud. These are the things it represents; achievement in all fields, in the past, now, and in the future. Inanimate objects don't build things, just as Benilde as a school hasn’t built its own traditions. Rather, it has been those who have made up the “alive” Benilde, the human element, that have given it a place in this community and state. Not one nor a small group but many have made Benilde what it is. Starting with the first class, the first hour of the first day, it has grown and developed. Now it is looked up to, respected, and honored by many. We carry these traditions on today. Tomorrow we shall strengthen them and add new ones. People and what they do are the tradition builders. At Benilde these things are as varied as the people. And each person, an individual, does everything in his own way. Benilde is a collection of all this; a collection of traditions. It is at Benilde that an image has truly been built and grown to be respected. We are pace-setters in this “fast moving world . We are riding on the wake of our predecessors, those who have given the Red Knights a tradition. And through our school life, activities, and athletics we shall build traditions for future generations. LOOT 01 s In Memory of Mr. Kevin O’Leary The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.

At the end of last year the administration found that it was no longer possible for three men to direct a school of the caliber of Benilde. For this reason the office of Assistant Principal was expanded into two new positions, to be held by Brother Stephen and Mr. Haben. Brother Stephen, in his first year at Benilde, held the often thankless job of disciplinarian. Using the right balance of trust and reprimand, he was able to run a taut ship. Mr. Haben served as an Administrative Assistant coordinating the many activities at Benilde. Again this year holding down the top positions of Director and Principal were Brother Patrick and Brother Justin. These are both very demanding .jobs, but these men handled them with their capable leadership. Two New Positions Mr. Haben in his friendly manner gives a confused student a hand in rescheduling. 16 YOU BOYS MEET THAT DEADLINE OR ELSE... Brother Patrick motivates Benilden staff.

Social Studies As a Science of the Human Factor Social Studies is not just a history or a listing of events, it is a science of the human factor. It covers not only man's accomplishments in his world, but it forms an analysis of their relative values. The Social department at Benilde is noted for its fine staff, and their more than adequate handling of the Social Studies course. In the course students learn more than just the result of man’s conflicts, they learn and discuss the cause of these conflicts. ¥ -V r • •« Patience is another quality that teachers must have.

Mr. Glynn, doubling as A. P. English-Designed to Make Benilde Seniors Probably the most challenging course at Benilde this year was the advanced placement English course taught by Mr. Glynn. This course was the equivalent of freshman year English in college. In fact, many colleges grant credits for the course. Much emphasis in the class was put on the written word. For this reason, expository essays were assigned weekly. Another aspect of the course was the study of great literature from all ages of man. Some of the authors who were studied were: Sophocles, Shakespeare, Ibsen, Chekhov, and Hardy. Independent research of these authors and their works played an important part in the class. emotional climax of PREJUDICE are given by Mr. Glynn. 26 Mr. McCauley takes a few minutes from class for an informed opinion.

Young Scientists Learn How’s and Why’s of the World Scientific knowledge is a prerequisite before entering almost any specialized field in college. Benilde, in order to provide this knowledge has its science department divided into three sections.

Language this year took on new meaning for many Benilde students. German. Spanish, Latin, and French as languages were supplemented by histories of the cultural background of their respective countries. Students taking one of these languages found that they not only had a greater appre- ciation for the language that they were studying, but they were also learning more than a language. Learning is more than just what the name implies. It is not simply the acquisition of knowledge but, it is supposed to supply the student with a means of training his mind so that when confronted with something later in life they can learn it. 35 Phy-Ed Brings Aches and Pains to All Classes The snap.....down three and over four....the pass....caught and down field over the line.touchdown! No, this wasn’t a play by play rundown of a Red Knight’s varsity game-these were sounds of the thundering turf under the feet of an able bodied Senior advisory. The past few years, the phy-ed de- partment has only been in contact with underclassmen. This year it had taken on the task of building up the physical part of the upperclassmen’s development through intramurals. A good deal of homeroom spirit was restored to the high school through this program.

Every day, the cooks under the direction of Mrs. Williams face the chore of feeding Benilde’s hungry men. Anyone who has been in the library realizes the dedication of Brother Louis Andrew. Always willing to help a student; Brother runs a highly efficient library for the use of inquisitive students. Although most students think of the school nurse as a person to diagnose various ailments, it is a bit more complicated. Mrs. Percival must also supervise numerous tests for each student. If a student is told to find Brother Louis, chances are that he won't. He must face up to the fact that this man doesn’t sit still due to his many duties.

View of the bonfire crowd. and Game Highlight Benilde’s Brisk Fall Spirits Benilde Homecoming festivities were touched off by speeches of the nine candidates hoping to reign as Queen of Homecoming ’66. The fair young lasses represented the eight Senior homerooms and for the first time, the Varsity Club. Following the speeches the Senior class voted by secret ballot. Immediately after balloting, Micky Finn lit the traditional blaze and officially opened the Bonfire ceremonies and dance. The Brass Tax filled the parking lot with a pounding beat and attracted hundreds of dancers. Homecoming buttons designed by seniors Mike Marrinan and Chris Patrias announced the ’66 slogan, TRAMP-HILL THE PIONEERS. The float contest was won by Junior homeroom 148. During half time, fans viewed a parade of the Queen candidates and floats. The 14-7 loss to a fine Hill team did not dampen the Red Knight spirit and the festivities were a REAL success. Trying to attract a few extra votes, Barb Vashro delivers her speech to the seniors. 43 1966 Homecoming Brings Pageantry of the Past The Knight swingers are transported by the groovy sound of the Underbeats. The 1966 Homecoming candidates representing St. Margaret’s Academy. Regina High School, Academy of the Holy Angels. St. Anthony of Padua High School, and the Benilde Varsity Club As Micky Finn made her way among the line of candidates, the crowd was in suspense as to who would be the 1966 Benilde Homecoming Queen. The Seniors’ Choice was Molly McClellan as Queen. Prior to this, hours of planning and work had been done to make the Dance the success it was. From selling tickets to decorating the Great Hall, everything was well done. The Underbeats provided the music for a packed house. As any Homecoming, it will be held in memory by many Knights for years to come. radiate the charm of royalty. The candidates are Pat Lemieax. Kathy Egan. Elaine Kline. Diane Bat-tig, Molly McClellan, Lynn Sather, Maty Langar, Barb Vashro, and Pam Hansen. 44 to the Knights’ Great Hall Varsity Club candidate Molly McClellan expresses surprise at her selection. The waiting and wishing is all over as Micky Finn crowns Molly, and a new Queen reigns. IT'S NOT UNUSUAL TO HAVE FUN WITH ANYONE. The Underbeats set the mood as an enjoyable evening draws to a close. Semesters! Ask any Red Knight about them, and he’ll reply that he wonders if the tests are real. However, after the tests are finished, there is something to look forward to-Red Knight’s Ball. It started early in the week for the Juniors, they heard the candidates’ speeches and voted, three days before the dance. Then the night came and at about 9:00 everyone turned to the stage as the escorts and candidates took their places. Finally the evening came to its climax as Junior Princess, Patty Carlson, was crowned. Patty Carlson prepares to step from the stage as the newest and happiest of the Knight’s Junior Princesses. 1967 Knight’s Ball Brightens the Mid-Winter Skies Princess Patty Carlson escorted by Jim Robert- Bill Winchell, Donna Staples and Tom Clancy, son and her court: Sandy Kronk and escort Matt Patsy Burns and Dick Dillan.

Dancing to the music of the Happy Daze, the Knights and dates enjoy a MID-WINTER KNIGHT’S DREAM. 47 Senior Varsity Club members point out the advantages of buying a chance for the tennis benefit to a somewhat reluctant underclassman. VARSITY CLUB officers: Secretary Bob Finke. Treasurer Bill Twomey, and President Tom Wozniak. Through the efforts of Mr. Quinn, moderator, the Varsity Club became more active than ever. The major letter winners’ enthusiasm was evidenced by sponsoring a winning candidate for Homecoming Queen, selling chances for the tennis courts, and promoting school spirit. An exclusive Club dance rewarded the Knight’s for their efforts. Varsity Club Comes Alive in School Spirit Drive VARSITY CLUB-Front row, left to right: T. O'Malley. C. Cichosz. B. Brambilla, J.

At half time the players were greeted at the fifty yard line by their fathers. After a 40 to 6 win the victorious Knights joined their families in the cafeteria for a bite to eat. Dads, wearing their sons numbers, watch with anticipation as the teams line up. After the first victorious Dad’s Day game Mr. Johnson and son, Jim, enjoy refreshments in the cafeteria. 49 EXECUTIVE BOARD-Standing, left to right: John Nichols-Committee Co-ordinator, Dave Kowalski-Secretary.

Logical Thinking and Fast Tongue Carry Debaters Under the tutelages of Mr. Weiss the Shield Club debate-speech society reaffirmed its honored position among the parochial and public high schools of Minnesota. Early in the season the club conducted a membership drive and uncovered some fine talent among the Freshman and Sophomores. The officers helped Mr. Weiss teach an introductory course in debate and the technique payed off. B and C squad debaters had a fine season, winning a second place trophy at the Osseo Invitational Tournament and individual certificates at the Macalaster College Tournament. The A squaders won a fifth place among sixty-four schools at the University of Minnesota Tournament and tied for fourth place at the Blake Invitational Cross-exam debate.

The 1967 Benilden was faced with a problem that hadn’t been encountered in the past years. This problem was a shortage of experienced help, which turned out to be a real headache. This meant that John Niemi, as editor, was forced to teach everything to a group of completely inexperienced recruits. After a short period these brave few took up the challenge and put what seemed to be endless nights of work into the book. With one hand on the “bible”, an earlier yearbook, and the other thoughtfully scratching their heads the staff went to work. Above all, recognition must go to a very patient moderator, Mr. Crowley.

To be honest, I feel there’s room for improvement. 58 Photo Editor Tom Newell researches the photo gallery in an attempt to locate some of his snaps. Sports Editor Mike Kelly searches for good athletic action photographs which are not always in supply. Jim Rockwell discusses the possibilities of adding soul” to the yearbook. Just about altogether forgotten are the people working behind a drama production. It is to the various crews in the background that more credit is due. As soon as tryouts were finished the set crew, under John Niemi’s direction, started plans to build an almost permanent set. Approximately 2V2 weeks of cutting, nailing, sizing, and painting was put into the set construction. As dress rehearsal approached, Mike Mankey and his crew set up the lighting complex which can make or break the appearance of a set.

I can't make it, it's like a mad house around here! Ron Churchill as Mort. Arsenic and Old Lace” is centered around two old ladies, Abbey and Martha Brewster who poisoned lonely old men.” The plot thickens when two visitors (in the form of Johnathan Brewster and Dr. Einstein) arrived, escaping from the long arm of the law for various medical researches conducted. Mort Brewster was forced to put up with the pair, when they discovered the old ladies’ hobby. Throughout the play Teddy Brewster amused the audience with his mannerisms which slightly” resembled Teddy Roosevelt. Everything turned out alright as Teddy was committed, Johnathan and the Doctor arrested, the two old ladies kept their secret, and Mort married the girl next door. Chuck Knaeble inspects the elderberry wine before he takes the last drink of the evening.

Four Sweet Old Ladies Lead Mysterious, Hilarious, Mortimer, upon discovery of his Aunt's charity, tries to explain the wrongs of the doings. Meditating upon the peculiarities of the Brewsters, Scott Shields depicts the piety of Rev. Harper. As in past years, the play was double cast; giving a chance for more student participation. Leading the players in the production were the girls. As Abbey Brewster, Annamary Ambrose and Barb Lace changed off. Martha Brewster was portrayed by Catherine Roddy and Catherine Cragg. Debbie Hammer and Mary Coleman were double cast as Elaine Harper. The remaining roles were held by the Benilde boys. Dr. Einstein was taken by Al Gits and John Bauer. Johnathan Brewster was characterized by Paul Vetscher and Todd Kneable. Due to Joe Leven’s illness, Ron Churchill appeared single handedly as Mort Brewster. Mike Kelly and Greg Peterson alternated as Teddy Brewster. Long lost nephew Johnathan explains his diversed adventures to his bewildered Aunts. CHARGE-Teddy leads attack on the blockhouse.

Moderated by Mr. Weiss and Mr. Schulte, The Camera Club teaches the student how to take better pictures and use all the different kinds of equipment in taking and developing pictures. The Aeronautics Club is under the guidance of Brother Francis. The students in this organization are very interested in the workings of rockets and even build and launch their own creations in this field. CAMERA CLUB MEMBERS, loft to right: T.

The moderator of this year’s Latin Club is Mr. George Bussman. Mr. Bussman is also moderator of the Stamp and Coin Club. This organization provides an important outlet for those students who are interested in collecting stamps or coins. It gives them a chance to meet with other students who have the same interests to share. JUNIOR LATIN CLUB OFFICERS, left to right: R Heinz, D. Howard, J. Decker, and B. Bruley.

Anyone who had seen the cheerleaders in the past two years would testify to the fact that something was missing. The thing missing wasn't the intricate cheers done by many girl groups, but rather crowd appeal and a leader to keep things moving, whether the Red were winning or losing. Although the 1967 cheerleaders didn’t do a lot of fancy stuff, (their claim to fame was the pyramid) they found what had been missing in a 5’6” Senior John Cretzmeyer. The fire of “Cretz” combined with Brother Jeffery’s interest the cheerleaders kept things moving constantly during all seasons.

For some 35 students, ranging from freshmen to seniors, bowling is this activity. The Benilde bowlers formed their own league which was sanctioned under AJBC rules. This entitled them to free shirts, awards, trophies, tournaments, and transportation to and from the lanes. The team bowled every Friday after school with Tim Foss, Mike Merriman and Rich Qualy handling all scheduling as league secretaries. The winning team of the league this year consisted of Dave Novotney, Tom Peterson, Russ Finkler, and Mike Qualy. Mr. Wiess with the help of the faculty, acted as moderator. Senior Chris Patrias shows the form that helped him finish high in league standings. Putting English on the ball, Senior Dave Walz sends it down the lane. BOWLING TEAM-Back row, left to right: D.

CCD: An Opportunity to Instill a Faith in Others One of the most important issues of today’s rapidly advancing world is the education of its youth. Keeping tradition were those students of Benilde who in an unselfish spirit taught religion on Saturdays to those who attend public schools. This year CCD was again under the guidance of Br. Francis. In addition to fulfilling its role as a teaching body, the CCD also handled the Christmas basket drive, making it a huge success. The baskets, bought and filled by the homerooms, await delivery to needy families. Paul Vetscher tries to get the point across to his fourth grade class. CCD - Sitting, left to right: F. Hennessy, C.

Hours of Practice Pay Off for Big Brass Band In the past Benilde has not had a band due to conflicting student schedules and the lack of time to practice. Thanks to the dedication of director Mr. Dennis Scholtes, the patience of Brother Jeffrey, and the hard work of the members, the Benilde Band performed at both the Christmas and Spring Glee Club Concerts in 1967.

The Benilde Glee Club drawing from a repertoire of fine songs was assisted in entertaining a fine crowd by the guest glee clubs of St. Margaret's Academy and Holy Angels Academy. The Sunday performance added a change of pace providing a Twilight Pop Concert. The proceeds from this concert went towards the Glee Club’s summer project to go to Expo 67 in Montreal.

The Mothers Club is one of the hardest working organizations associated with Benilde. Mothers of Benifde students have several projects a year that all add up to many benefits for the school. Sponsoring such events as the Christmas Tree Bazaar, Spring Dessert Luncheon and the Senior Mother-Son Breakfast, the Mothers Club gives Benilde mothers a wide variety of activities. Again Brother Bendict is moderator of the Mothers Club and Mrs. Stafford is president of the club. Other officers are Mrs. O’Brien, vice president; Mrs. Dess, treasurer; Mrs. DuPont, membership secretary; and Mrs. Engstrom, parliamentarian. These helped make the Mothers Club another success.

Cathy was honored by Club president, Tom Wozniak, who presented her with a small trophy that symbolized the club’s appreciation for all that she had done for Benilde. The dance was financed by the funds received from the sale of refreshments at athletic events held at school. The treasury had enough money for the club to obtain the Rogues” who played for three hours. Although attendance was down, those that did attend had a fun filled evening. Junior Joe Garner and date take time out during a break to sit down. Cathy Beddor. 1967 Varsity Club Queen, helped to further Benilde athletics outside of Benilde.

Going into each game outweighed, they put out a hundred per cent. After failing to produce a win in their first four games, the Knights worked harder and managed to pick up three, to salvage a 3-3-1 season. To begin the season the Knights travelled to play Winona in a non-conference game. Both teams put out a tough defensive effort which resulted in a scoreless meeting. The next contest was with archrival De. The Islanders had a definite advantage in the weight department but the Knights fought gallantly, leading at halftime but losing 19 to 7. The third game, against a fine St. Thomas squad, handed the Knights their worst setback with a score of 24 to 7.

The Red Knights, a young and over-all inexperienced team, began with a 71 -59 whomp over Mankato Loyola. From here they took their first of two losses to St. Thomas, which in the end didn’t prove to be disasterous. Beating Golden Valley, the team was ready to face De La Salle. This game, the first of three meetings, turned into the highlight of the front half of the season, Benilde getting by 48-42. And this success was only the beginning as the Senior Co-captain.

Playing even ball throughout the remaining games the cagers caught on at the halfway point in the season. Building a more respectable record they struck seven of nine times to end a winning season. This was accomplished through the depth of the squad and its ability to bounce back.

When this cheer was heard in the new Minneapolis Auditorium everyone knew that the Red Knights were present for the State Tourney. This was taken for granted, however, what was not counted on was the fantastic way they displayed themselves. Facing St. Thomas in the first round, the Knights surprised the Tommies after losing to them twice in conference play, by handing them a 58-42 defeat. The following night the mighty cagers faced Cretin, faltering to the challenge, they went down in defeat.

Compiling a 16-7-1 record, the team gained victories over top Central Catholic Conference teams; Cretin, Hill, St. Agnes, defeating the Aggies 4-3 in the last conference game of the season. They also defeated formidable nonconference opponents Marshall, Lincoln, and tied in a tough meeting with Washburn. Comprised of an eight man Senior nucleus and a strong underclass contingent, the squad was well seasoned and molded into State Tournament material through the efforts of first year coach, Mr. St. Martin. And the final touch was added through a spirited student support which placed the hockey season in one of the winter sports spotlights for ’67.

Battling for State Honors — Knights Rise to Second Converging on Phil Hoene, Benilde defense slows down Topper attack. The Hockey team entered the State Tournament in Duluth as optimistic underdogs. In the opening round they shutout a young Crookston Cathedral squad 4 to 0. The following night Central Catholic Conference champs, St. Agnes, provided the opposition. The Knights down 2-0 and 4-2 posted a surprising come-from-behind victory to the score of 6 to 4. Finals predicted to be a runaway with the pucksters facing a tremendous Duluth Cathedral team led by allstater “Phantom Phil” Hoene. The team played its best game of the year while falling 4 to 2 and settling for second place in the books. Goalie Denny Nordstrom was the mainstay of the Knight’s lineup recording fifty stops in the last two games. Senior Bob Finke and Junior Bob Elsen were named to the all-tournament team. This finished an outstanding year for all those connected with the hockey team. 104 Catholic State Hockey Tournament BENILDE Crookston Cathedral St. Agnes Duluth Cathedral Sophomore sensation, Joey Wheaton waits in anticipation of another Benilde drive.

With less than adequate facilities available and a problem of “pool hopping” these swimmers still give their all. Taking the situation in a proper light, the team can hold their heads high with a 4-9 season record. With only a few Seniors swimming, the burden rested on the underclassmen. However, in individual scoring they were among the top ten. Larry Gervais was first with 77 4, Bob Malat was fourth with 53 and Tim Hamilton seventh with 30y2. The rest of the top ten were underclassmen led by Steve Beisang and Kevin Regan. Larry Gervais shows the form which gained a first in the Minnesota Private School Invitational. Finishing first, Bob Malat catches breath while awaiting official confirmation of record time. Junior Rick Roth starts off with a splash in the Invitational meet. Strong Red Knight Batmen Fine Tough Conference Although turning in a rather disappointing record of 3-7 in the Central Catholic Conference, the baseball team was 7-1 in non-conference play. However, Benilde placed four men on the Central Catholic Conference Team. Charles Cichosz was picked as catcher, Tom Clancy, outfield; Paul Scanlon, infield; and John Cowles, pitcher. Strong in the offensive department, the Knights outscored their opponents 84 to 64. No matter how disappointing the season might appear, there isn't any reason to look for a downfall again next year. With such outstanding performers as the Scanlon brothers (Paul, Denny, and Pat), Tom Clancy and Denny Zach-mann returning next season, the diamond-men have the potential to go all the way. Sporting a .338 average. Chuck Cichosz lashes out another hit. Chuck led the team in homers with 3 and RBIs with 15. John Cowles covers home on a passed ball. Bearing down.

He begins to visit the guidance office, which aids him in thinking about the life ahead. Becoming a greater part of Benilde, the Junior participates in varsity sports and holds high positions in other activities. At this point a Junior reasons that he will be tomorrow’s leaders, which prompts him to imitate his Senior elders. Junior year can be considered a preparation for Senior year. In any activity the Juniors are being trained to fill the gap that will be left by the graduating Seniors. As the year progresses on begins to find more and more Juniors behind the work. And finally in early May they receive their class rings; a reminder that graduation is creeping up on them rapidly.

He is a questioning individual, whether it be the reason for light bending when it hits a prism or his own personal goals and beliefs. Also with college approaching, a Senior realizes he’s on the threshold of his manhood. Carl Alstad Thomas Anderle Kevin Anderson Daniel Barnett Michael Anderson Joseph Bartsch Thomas Anderson John Babbitt John Bauer Bernard Bauman 150 and Develop into Manhood Any Senior finds out for himself what life is about; namely decisions. He can choose just about any course offered. Just as important as choosing courses is the Senior's choice of what to do after graduation. If he decides on college he must make another decision as to what university he wants to attend.

This statement gives the impression that the Class of ’67 was a group of brains, but even more so; they should be remembered for their spirit, and willingness to give of themselves to others.

It is necessary to allot time to clear this confusion otherwise the individual won’t take time himself. This is the purpose of the two day closed retreat. The retreats are held at the Dunrovin Retreat House for the area Christian Brothers’ High Schools.

Football attendance left something to be desired. In contrast, when the basketball and hockey seasons came, Senior attendance was more notable, attesting to the fact that they did possess the school spirit every Senior should and does strive for.

With the ’67 Seniors it was a time of giving, that will stay with them for years. Exemplifying this giving was senior participation in worthwhile activities such as Pine Ridge, the Poor Children’s Christmas Party and the Christmas Basket Drive.

If they’re out there; odds can be laid that they’re playing their hearts out. If they’re riding the bench, they’re the “holler guys” who keep things moving.

Congressman Donald Fraser, with an aide, discuss his speech with Council President Chuck Meade. 174 The 1967 annual Benilde Student Council Workshop featured two outstanding liberal speakers in former lieutenant governor A. M. (Sandy) Keith and Congressman Donald Fraser. Keith spoke upon the theme of communication in relation to government officials and the officials communicating with the people. Congressman Fraser dealt with world government and the problems involved. Both speakers urged the students to become involved with their respective topics. Over 300 students from across the state attended the Council affair. There were three different sessions held throughout the day in separate classrooms. These workshops were run by professional people brought in, outstanding non-school council members and Benilde leaders.

Mike Walsten, Mike Bilcik, and the rest of the Brass Tax provide music for the dance after the final session. Workshop Proves Again Even though the Workshop is held mainly for the purpose of exchanging ideas among individual councils, there is more to it than just business.

Knights Return to Land of Camelot for Spring Prom On Friday May 12, the Juniors and Seniors attending the 1967 Prom were transported to Arthur’s Camelot of old upon entering the Benilde Great Hall. For the first time in several years the theme was approached in more of a masculine manner, the theme being “Camelot” and music provided by Dave Brady and the Stars. At each end of the Hall, a life size tapestry hung. The Center of attraction on the dance floor was a gazebo that featured a 450 pound knight in battle dress. Throughout the gym shields of numerous designs were displayed, adding the final touch. Thanks to the efforts of Brother Paul and John Miller, Prom was an overwhelming success.

The campaign in itself was marked with posters, buttons, and banners which urged students to vote for their” candidate. The campaigning started a week before the nominating convention. The various aspirants for the offices spent their time speaking to homerooms, attempting to drum up votes. Then the nominating convention came, bringing its suspenseful procedure of tallying votes on the blackboard.
