However, never in its history has Benilde faced losing so many great men. The 1970 Benilden is therefore dedicated to all of the Christian Brothers who have spent part of their lives in service to Benilde. The contribution that these men have made to the students they taught will never be forgotten. The hard effort the Brothers made in taking on infant school and transforming it into one of the best schools in the Twin Cities is without equal. The Brothers touched all of us differently. Some will be missed more than others. However, they ALL will be missed. To single out certain Brothers for rec- ognition would be senseless. Every one of them gave all that they had to us. For that we are indebted to all of them. They will be sorely missed. ACAbl r i r b  4 4. U ' y. Administration Benilde students are lucky to have a capable administration running their school. The administration is headed by Br. Andrew, Benilde ' s principal. Under Br. Andrew ' s leadership, Benilde stu- dents have experienced the exciting innovation of the assembly schedule. Mr. Haben, Benilde ' s assistant prin- cipal, has the uneviable job of mak- ing out and changing schedules for all of the 800 students who attend Benilde. Meanwhile, Mr. O ' Reilly has the enjoyable task of assigning de- tention to Benilde ' s luckier students. Mr. O ' Reilly is also the invaluable advisor of the Benilden. Br. Frederick handles all of the financial business of the school. He also can be found each and every morning in the bookstore. Mrs. Bonner handles the secretarial duties of the office. Mrs. Delmore is Mr. O ' Reilly ' s secretary, and it is through her hard work that Benilde students find out how much detention they have. As a student progresses through Benilde, he finds himself using the guidance office more and more. Fresh- men and Sophomores come in con- tact with the guidance department when seeking changes or information about classes and getting results from tests. As Juniors and Seniors, the guidance department becomes an in- tegral part of Benilde as graduation looms closer and closer. Mr. Hartle counsels the Freshmen and Juniors, and Br. Arthur is the counselor for the Sophomores and the Seniors, and is also the guidance department head. The friendly and efficient help of Mrs. Ladd rounds out the staff ot the Guidance Dept. guidance office. For spiritual counseling. Father Al- bert Hanzel, from Good Shepherd parish, is available on Tuesdays for counseling and or confessions, and he also says the Masses for the Benilde students on Holy Days. With college becoming more and more important in our modern age of technology and colleges becoming more selective in choosing students, an excellent guidance department is becoming increasingly important at Benilde. Br. Arthur, Mr. Hartle, and Mrs. Ladd have gone a long way in helping to satisfy this need for Benilde students. Above: Senior Dean Dolan gets straightened out by Mr. Hartle. Right: Brother Arthur contemplates his future Sociology Dept. Benilde ' s Social Studies Department ploys a vital part in preparing each student for the world we live in. The department teaches a three year program exposing the student to cul- tures post and present in hopes that they can better understand and af- fect the progress of our society. Freshmen are the first exposed to our social studies department. Mr. Morton and Mr. St. Mortin instruct them in the history of our country. The next phase comes during the Junior year, when Br. Benedict and Mr. Fronczok teach basic world his- tory in the world cultures course. The Seniors hove o completely different exposure to their social studies course. The classes ore divided into three twelve week sessions. Mr. Joranger teaches the comparative political and economic philosophies, which deals with government forms ond their growth. Mr. St. Martin teaches Ameri- can government; its form and practices on both the federol and locol levels. A session of sociology providing an insight on the cultures of people in our society is taught by Mr. Crowley. Mr. Rosow also teaches o complete course of Senior social studies.

Benilde ' s religion department ini- tiated a new program for Freshmen and Sophomores this year. Formerly, students were required to take religion daily. This year, however, underclass- men alternate religion with Phy Ed., and now take a study hall daily. Freshmen study the personality of Religion Dept. Christ, under the direction of Br. George and Br. Robert Hawkins. Sopho- mores learn communications and dia- logue from Br. John Koller. Juniors receive further instruction from Mr. Rosow. Finally, Br. Dismas and Mr. Tierney explore the nebulous world of theology for Seniors. Right; Brother Robert Hawkins wonders if some questions are better answered in Biology The next time you are flying over Germany on a TWA 727 with a French stewardess, and a priest sitting next to you, and suddenly you realize that the plane is being hijacked by a Cuban, what do you do? If you have had an extensive background in languages offered at Benilde, you calmly tell the priest in Latin to soy a few prayers. Then you would tell the stewardess in French to serve the passengers some refreshments. You would then force you way into the cockpit and convince the Cuban in Language Dept. Spanish to put down his gun. The final step wou ld be to radio Berlin and tell them in German that every- thing is under control. Mr. Stenglein, Mr. Kondrak, and Bro. Neftali work hard at teaching Spanish to their students. Br. Benedict, Br. Neftali and Mr. Teirney instruct their students in French. German stu- dents are taught by Mr. Ebensteiner and Mr. Tierney. Mr. Murphy, the Latin instructor, completes this capable language department. Opposite page, top: Frito what? Brother NeftaM questions a side comment.

An important element in a high school education is the study science, and Benilde provides a three year program for any aspiring young Mr. Wizard. Sophomore year biology is taken, with the pithing of frogs, trap- ping of butterflies, and exploring the flora and fauna. Benilde has two capable biology teachers in Mr. Bre- ault and Br. Richard, who is chairman Science Dept. of the science department. Juniors advance to the explosive science of chemistry, which is taught by Mr. Gellert and Mr. Hockenpueller, both new to Benilde this year. Senior year is physical, that is. Seniors take physics. They are under the capable instruction of Mr. Davis, also new to Benilde this year. Top: Mr. Breault explains photosynthe Above: Brother Richard ponders his ne lecture. Because mathematics is an impor- tant element in a college prepara- tory education, Benilde offers a com- prehensive four year mathematics pro- gram. Freshmen learn the basic ten- ets of algebra, which is instructed by Mr. Johnson and Br. John. Sopho- mores learn the theorems and proofs of geometry, which is taught by Mr: Math Dept. Patrias and Br. John. Juniors take up algebra again, and receive ad- vanced instruction from Mr. Noud. Although Seniors are not required to take math, many enroll in either cal- culus, an Honors class taught by Mr. Patrias, or math analysis, which is taught by Br. Justin and Mr. Boufford. Top: Brother John explains equations to h eager students. Above: Mr. Boufford teaches math. Right: Mr. Patrias assigns spirals. English Dept. Benilde ' s English Department offers a four year program designed to bring the student on appreciation of literature along with skill in creative and expository writing. Freshmen, who are taught by Br. George, Mr. Janezich, and Mr. Breng- mon, study basic grammar, spelling, literature, and creative writing. Sopho- mores learn about America literature and writing from Mr. Deutz and Mr. Stenglein. Juniors, under the direction of Mr. Ryan, who is the English Department head, and Mr. Turk, study British literature (especially Hamlet), and begin serious expository writing. Most of the Seniors are taught an anthology of great literature by Mr. Niedenfeuer and Mr. Turk. Honors Seniors study expository prose and world literature, in preparation for the advanced placement test in the spring. The Honors group is taught by Mr. Ryan. t if ■ J_ M Phy Ed Dept. All Benilde students must toughen up Freshmen and Sophomore year by taking physical education. Fresh- men and Sophomores take much the same program, which consists of tum- bling, basketball, wrestling, softball, flag football, and wiffle ball. Under the direction of Mr. Kondrak, head of the Phy Ed department, and Br. Lawerance, teams ore formed, and competition in the various sports is keen. Benilde this year saw the appoint- ment of a new athletic director to replace Mr. Quinn, who moved to Montana. Mr. Ek, in this new role, has done a fine job, purchasing new hockey, basketball, and football uni- forms. Under his direction, Benilde enjoyed a fine sports season. Services In order to maintain their academic prowess, Benilde students need more than just classroom learning; they also need good food, proper atmo- shpere, and academic resources read- ily available. Mrs. Marian Ma Williams takes care of the health of the students, making sure that the food is properly and deliciously prepared. She is backed up by her able and friendly staff of Mrs. Doris Christiansen, Mrs. Betty Rosenow, and Mrs. Florence Wilkins. Brother Louis takes care of the main- tenance of the school, a job that gives him little recognition but is es- sential to keeping Benilde warm and comfortable, and operating efficiently. The library is run by Miss Jackie Carl- son, new to Benilde this year. As librarian, it is her job to make sure that the students hove interesting and informative material to read, and to send out the friendly little notes that inform the students that their mone- tary reserves are to be depleted. %. ACTIVITIES % m.. Mite MMlitfMMMliMiMiiiMMi Peggy Bauer Debbie Busch Mary Fiedler Geri Harms Molly Poquette SueSitek Ram Speeter Anita Wisniewski Benilde ' s homecoming this year took place on October 10, and it was a rousing success. The slogan for home- coming was Knights Will Render — Raiders Surrender! Although the foot- ball team lost 6-0 in a hard-fought battle with Cretin, it dampened the spirits of few as the team acquitted itself well and was on the verge of victory following the recovery of a Raider fumble in the fourth quarter when time ran out. The highlight of the week was the dance and coronation of a new queen. Homecoming Everything was in readiness, as usual, due to the hard work of Dean Dolan as the time for the coronation drew near. Finally, 1968 queen Diane Don- ahue strode behind the candidates on stage and, to the delight of almost everyone, she crowned Carol Nord- berg, the Varsity Club candidate, as the 1969 Homecoming Queen. Carol ' s escort, by pure coincidence, was Pat Scanlon. The band. Pride and Joy, then broke into You Made Me So Very Happy and the center of the floor belonged to Carol and Pat. The mid-winter boredom was some- what alleviated this year by the Ju- nior-sponsored Red Knight ' s Ball, held on January 17 in the Benilde Great Hall. The dance was the climax to many weeks of hard work and plan- ning by Dean Dolon, Bob Dwyer, and Rod Froser. The gym was decorated in o Summer in Winter theme with music provided by the Youngsters. Excitement was high as the dance started and it increased as the hour Red Knight ' s Ball of the coronation of the Princess drew near. At nine o ' clock, last year ' s Princess, Mary Jellison, was led to the stage by her escort, Pat Coleman. She placed the crown on the lucky and surprised head of Mary Johnson, a candidate from St. Margaret ' s, who was escorted by John Flick of 146. Everyone who attended the dance was pleased with both the music and decorations. Top; Chortle Allen of the Youngsters enter tains at Red Knight ' s.

I Drama After months of indecision con- cerning the production of a ploy this year, the Benilde Players finally pre- sented the Herb Gardner Broadway hit, A Thousand Clowns. The plot centered on the efforts of a middle-aged uncle trying to save his nephew from being taken from him by the welfare board. His efforts were further entangled by a love affair with one of the social workers, his pragmatic and concerned brother, and a Turtle-raping chipmunk for a boss. The production of the play was chiefly the job of director Mary Can- non and stage manager Bob McCarthy. Cost Nick Burns Tom Torborg Murray Burns Stan Hoff Albert Amundson ....

Their Christmas Concert was en- hanced greatly by their Christmas Cabaret theme, for which tables were set up, goyly decorated, and hot apple cider was served. The innova- tion of this new atmosphere along with the Glee Club ' s own Christmas Glee Club songs added much to Benilde ' s sea- sonal festivities. For the Spring Concert the St. Margaret ' s Academy Glee Club joined the Benilde Chorus in presenting Hap- piness Is. Highlights of this concert were the numbers combined with the Benilde-St. Margaret ' s Band and a choral presentation of seven Robert Frost poems.

Lancer With Andy LePeau as Editor, the Lancer was responsible for seven newspapers and a literary magazine. A capable staff that included Jim Sherburne, Paul McHugh, Bob Cramer, Jim Richter, Alan Mathiowetz, and Dan Drury helped the Lancer obtain a degree of excellence that had been lacking in the past few years. Throughout the year, the Lancer consistently provided excellent news coverage and controversial editorial comment. Only one article during the year seemed to have been grossly erroneous. That was the outrageously prejudiced and one-sided coverage of the Lancer Benilden basketball game. Although the Benilden does herein humbly concede defeat, the game was much closer than the score in- dicated and the article reported. The Lancer did capture the Little Red Ink Bottle, but the Benilden won the Big Brown Booze Bottle. left: Copy Editor Paul McHugh detects a grammatical error for Bob Dwyer.

Benilden Putting a yearbook together is really a pain in the neck, so to speak. There are so many things that must be learned, so many things to do, and generally these things have to be self taught. Thus, the Benilden 11 started off the year with no knowledge and no talent to speak of. But, through the inspiring leader- ship of our beloved editor, Brian Arneson, we all endeavored to teach ourselves the various skills required — holding a pencil, making rubber stampings, and using a ruler the right way. Eventually we all could do the tasks required of us, and every night we worked our collective fingers to the bone just for your enjoyment. A trip to the Benilden office last year was a must for all touring eighth graders. In fact, the diligence shown by the Benilden 11 was the main factor in the decision to keep Benilde running. The Archbishop was quoted OS saying that, The school cannot be closed with this as its lost yearbook. We, as the Benilden 11 , completely agree with him.

Under the capable leadership of Lonnie Johnson as President, the Benilde Student Council enjoyed one of its most active years. Rarely before has the Student Council been the sub- ject of more hallway conversations than it was this year. Perhaps the most important thing to be remembered about this year ' s Student Council was its decision to take a firm stand as an organization that contains the leaders of the stu- dent body, rather than as an organi- zation that simply stood in the back- ground of student opinion. The Stu- dent Council rose to its greatest height this year when it decided to take a Student Council stand on the controversial issues of an open campus and the abolition of the dress code. Spearheaded by two resolutions proposed by Steve Mattaini which stated that the Stu- dent Council should go on record favoring both of these innovations, a great debate started. After two general assemblies and a debate in front of the entire student body, both resolutions were passed by over- whelming margins. Other things for which the Student Council deserves much credit are the Poor Children ' s Christmas Party, Spirit Week, the Academic Contests, and the successful Student Council Elections.

The most constructive Student Coun- cil project during 1970 was the Poor Children ' s Christmas Party. Approxi- mately 200 grade schoolers from Holy Rosary parish were treated to an afternoon of games, prizes, cartoons, snacks, and even gifts from St. Nick. Also, to the delight of the youngsters, whiffle golf balls were distributed. Throughout the afternoon, the plastic balls could be seen rebounding around the Great Hall. At times a few of the children flung the spheres at innocent Benilde students. All was coordinated by co-chairmen Larry Larson and Bob Dwyer. Much was donated by area businesses and Benilde Students; the rest came from Student Council funds. The party was on excellent effort to provide the underprivileged with at least an afternoon in suburbia. For many of the kids, it may be their only chance. High School Bowl For the second consecutive year, Benilde ' s High School Bowl team went undefeated in their three televised matches. This year ' s team included three veterans: Paul McHugh, Larry Greene, and Captain Andy LePeau. The lone Junior member of the team was Larry Fish. This year the Bowlers were under the direction of Coach Brother Dismas and assistant Mr. Ryan. In their first match the Red Knights defeated North St. Paul by a score of 200 to 10. Their second opponent Simley of St. Paul, succumbed by a score of 235 to 50. In their final bout, the Red Knights escaped victorious with a score of 125 to White Bear Lake ' s 115. We would like to thank Hubbard Broadcasting for their generous prizes awarded to the team members which included a science yearbook (whoo- pee!).

Right; Here We Are per forms to Minneapo- lis grade school audiences. Public Relations For the second year the 22 members of Here We Are, a musical public relations show under the direction of Mr. Crowley and Mr. Brengman, traveled to various area grade schools in order to promote Benilde and St. Margaret ' s High Schools. New this year was the addition of 11 girls from St. Margaret ' s who, with the Red Knights, helped promote the two high schools. With this addition the revue became more versatile and will, hopefully, help increase the freshman enrollment for their schools, too. This year ' s Master of Ceremonies, Senior John Reger, introduced the troupe and commented on the two schools to all of the twenty-plus engagements Here We Are played for. The Varsity Club was moderated this year by Mr. Ek. He replaced Mr. Quinn who left Benilde to be in God ' s Country. The Club ' s candi- date for Homecoming Queen, Carol Nordberg, was chosen to reign over this year ' s festivities. An Awards Banquet was held in the Great Hall the night before Prom. The cuisine was prepared by a combined effort of the Mother ' s and Father ' s Clubs. Pat Scanlon was chosen Athlete of the Year. The Benilden staff would like to Varsity Club thank Brian Teeter for the excellent photography throughout this book, especially in the Athletics section. Many team pictures and the Varsity Club picture could not be found. They were at one time in the Benilden office but were misplaced. Perhaps the easy accessability of the Benilden office was accountable. Perhaps it was the accident in June. We do not know. The pictures were not available through no fault of our own. However, the Benilden staff does wish to apologize. V e ore sorry. X • : ' -gipllillilliy ll|llll, Above left: Goooooo Red Knights.

Cheerleaders The fame of the Benilde cheer- leaders this year became known throughout the Twin Cities. Even the member schools of the Lake Con- ference heard about the remarkable cheerleaders of Benilde. One Robbins- dale High School student was heard to say after attending both the foot- ball and hockey games between the two schools, The Benilde students have two choices. They can sit and just look at their cheerleaders like we do, or they can actually cheer . . . Boy, those Red Knights certainly yell loud! Neil G. C, without a doubt, came into his own as a cheerleader. Al- though Neil never did match his record of a 12-second Go set during his rookie year as a Junior, his tonal qualities were those of a seasoned veteran. His Go Red Knights was so reliable when it came to reaping results on the field, court, or ice that, after much pleading, he consented to lend his vocal chords to Hill vs. D.C., and what happened then is history. What an illustrious career! There were a number of special activities that could not be included elsewhere in the yearbook. Thurlow Spur and the Spurlows presented on assembly in connec- tion with Chrysler Corporation and driving safely. Spirit Week was held this year prior to the Basketball Tournament Special Activities to encourage school spirit. A snow- mobile race, arm wrestling and the Senior Faculty basketball game were included. Both the Juniors and the Seniors challenged the Faculty to a hockey game. The Faculty managed to squeak out victories in both contests. Far above, left: Spurlo music for modern Amer Above left: Snowmobile Spirit Week activities. part of Above: Ghosts scared many students. ATHLETICS m ■■i)iiwi.i i.iiiiMiiiiiiiuiiiii i i(i wiwiiWi Varsity Football 1969 was to be Benilde ' s year in football. As Freshmen and Sopho- mores, our Seniors lost only one game. This excellent nucleus, aided by an excellent group of juniors was ex- pected to give Benilde a great season. The Red Knights, plagued by in- consistancy and injuries, finished with a 4-4-1 record. The season started with a shocking 26-0 loss to Austin Pocelli. The Knights were hampered by an injury to all- conference halfback Pat Coleman and were never able to get rolling. The Knights came back with four straight victories, crushing Brady and Cotter, then easing by Loudes and Hill. The Homecoming game was the most important gome of the year. Two evenly matched teams battled in a truly great game, but Benilde was edged by Cretin 6-0. A last ditch drive falling short. The disap- pointed Knights then lost to St. Thomas, but came back, outplaying Robbins- dale and De La Salle everywhere but on the scoreboard. Two Seniors besides Coleman won all-conference honors, quarterback Pat Scanlon and guard Dan Kaiser. Scan- Ion also won All-State honors. Honor- able mention included co-captains Jim Janick and Rod Froser, who were joined by Rick Johns, Doug Truax, and next year ' s captains, Steve Durr and Ralph Eckes in receiving honorable mention.

The Freshmen were led by quarter- back Jim Urbanec and runner Dan Deziel, and linemen Matt and Mark Humphries. B-squad quarterback Gary Scanlon led the offense with Bill Morton, Jr. leading the defense, John Suss played so well that he was called up to the varsity. With these stars to be, Benilde ' s football future is bright.

The team was marked by excellent defense, the best in the league, giving up only three goals during the entire sea- son. This fact is especially noteworthy considering the fact that the team lost two excellent fullbacks in Mike Tobin and Bob Murphy through grad- uation, and Keith Kowalsky, who was all-conference for two years, from a car accident. But with Seniors Ed Krmpotich, who didn ' t play last year, Pete Qualy and Dave Freeman all stepping in to take their places, the Red Knight defense was excellent. The three were honored by being named all-conference. The season was marked by hard defensive play and low score. The Knights lost to Cretin and Blake, both by a score of 1-0, and they tied Shat- tuck 0-0. Their highest scoring per- formances were against Brady and St. Thomas, which they won 4-0 and 4-1. The booters also tied Bloomington Kennedy, the winner of the Lake Con- ference championship, 1-1. According to Br. Dismas, head coach, It was an up and down sea- son, where everyone was beating everyone else. High goal scorers for Benilde were Larry Larson, with six goals, and John Reger, with three. Junior goalie Tom Rocheford recorded four shutouts, tops in the league.

Cross Country 1969 was a year of both domina- tion and frustration for the Benilde cross country team. Starting with a non-conference win against Austin Pacelli and ending with the defeat of St. Thomas on Homecoming day, the Red Wave , as the team came to be known, was unbeatable in five dual meets. Headed by co-captain and leader, Dave McCullum, Red allowed only two other conference runners to enter the top 7 finishers. Members of the pack in back of McCullum were co-captains Joe Flynn, Tom Hennig, Mike Duffy, Joe Liberko, Tom Stringer, and Paul Pigeon, Se- niors, and Mike Fasching, John Kenne- fick, and Mark Graham, Sophomores. Frustration came for the CCC champs in their two losses to Rochester Lour- des. In their first encounter at the Austin Invitational, Lourdes showed the benefit of more and tougher competition in convincingly defeating Benilde. Br. George, seeing his team ' s deficit in conditioning brought the team to a peak for the State meet with a rigorous two weeks of training. In a strictly two team race, the Red Wave fell to the slightly stronger Rochester contingent, 32-45. In taking 2nd., the 69-70 Harriers were 6 points better than last year ' s state champ squad and truly personifica- tions of the team spirit that has become a Benilde tradition.

From the opening tip in the annual non-conference tilt against Golden Valley, the Benilde basketball team provided its fans with an exciting brand of basketball. Seniors John Reger, Pat Coleman, Tim Mueller, and Keith Kowalsky led the team with Junior Mike Feyereisen as the big man. The Knights led the CCC after the first half of the season with only a loss to Cretin, but three losses in the second half were enough to drop them to a third place tie with Pacelli. The Region 4 Championship saw Benilde trounce DeLaSalle 66-50. John Reger had a spectacular first half. Basketball when the Islanders covered John tightly in the second half, Mueller, Coleman, and Feyereisen took up the slack. After two impressive victories over Grace and Austin Pacelli in the State Tournament, the potent Knight offense died. The championship game was a slow-motion nightmare. Despite Mike Feyereisen ' s 23 points, Benilde took its second season loss to the Tommies. The team received the runner-up trophy for the second consecutive year. John Reger, Pot Coleman, and Mike Feyereisen were selected to the All-Tournament team.

Surprise! The Red Gousters were again one of the best Catholic teams in the state, finishing second in the CCC and fourth in the state. The Red Knights compiled a superb conference record, finishing second behind eventual state champion Hill, with 12 wins and only 2 losses. The Knights closed out the season with a game with Hill for the title, tumbling 3 to 2 in a game which was closer than the score Indicated. The Knights then went to the tourney losing to Duluth Cathedral after beat- ing S.P.A. The Knights were robbed in the game with Blake when two goals at the buzzers of the 2nd and 3rd periods were disallowed. The Knights placed their entire first team on the All-Conference squad: Curt Elsen, goalie; Joe Mulvehill, Jerry Gilligan, defense; Pat Scanlon, Jeff Boeser, Tom O ' Brien, line.

Wrestling Benilde ' s wrestling team was another pleasant surprise for Red Knight rooters this year. The wrestlers compiled a startling collection of hon- ors, both as a team and as individuals. The Red Knights finished second to Hill in the CCC with a 6-3-1 record, second to Grace in the Regional Tournament, and third to St. Cloud Cathedral and Hill in the State Tour- nament. The Red Knights gained many individual honors as well, led by State Champions Dan Keiser at 175 lb. and Bob Schmitt at 154. Regional Championships were captured by Kei- ser, Schmitt, Tony Miller, and Tom McConville. These same four wrestlers distinguished themselves in the Cretin Tournament with Miller and Keiser taking firsts, and Schmitt and Mc- Conville seconds. Special recognition should be given to Senior Jerry Timian for his out- standing wrestling and humor, making Brother Richard ' s job a lot easier during a long and arduous season.

The 1969-70 Benilde swimming sea- son was marked by two seemingly contradictory elements. The Knights finished with a 3-8 record, but with many Benilde records falling. The Knights rose to take fourth place in the St. Thomas Invitational Tourna- ment, which, in swimming, serves as the State Tournament. That meet was the highlight of the season with the R.K. ' s winning 15 trophies. Mike Duffy broke records in the 200 and 100 yard free styles in that meet. Mike Swimming Guillame also set a record in the 160 yard breast stroke, and Mike Beddor won the State Diving Title. Other records were set this year in the 200 yard medley relay by Darling, Edmond, Morley, and Meehan, and by Beddor with 70.65 points, both Benilde team and Bloke pool records. Mike Duffy was named the team ' s Most Valuable Swimmer and Fresh- man Mike Grismer the Most Improved Swimmer. Above right: Andrew Darling leaps in to rescue a damsel in distress.

Baseball The 1970 Benilde baseball team, under the leadership of Mr. Davey Johnson, was marked by brilliant in- dividual play which produced a fine season. The Red Knights compiled a 15-5 overall record and a 12-4 CCC record. The Red Knights fell to even- tual State Champion St. Bernard ' s in the Regional finals. The individual honors start with four players gaining AII-CCC recog- nition, more than any other team in the league. The four players were: Pat Sconlon (.519 overage). Pot Cole- man (.413), Mike Feyereisen (.403), and Tom Miezwa (4-0 pitching rec- ord). Honorable mentions were given to John Reger (.410 avg.) and Paul Strait (5-1 pitching record). Co-Cap- tains Pat Coleman and Pot Sconlon also won All-State honors. Special mention should be given to Pat Sconlon who led the CCC in hitting and was drafted on the 6th round of the Major League free agent draft by the Montreal Expos. After a short stint in the Florida Rookie League, Pat was promoted to Wotertown of the Northern League where he spent the summer. Left: Pat Coleman completes the double-play.

Captained by Dave McCullum and Kevin Sauter, this year ' s Red Knight varsity track team finished third in the Central Catholic Conference. The conference shov ed great balance this season, with the first four or five teams extremely close to each other. The team participated in many non-conference meets this year, in- cluding a triangular with Blake and Shattuck and also one with Blooming- ton Lincoln and Spring Lake Park. In addition, the squad traveled to La- Crosse, Bemidji, and to Collegeville for the St. Johns Invitational, where the Knights placed second. The State Private Meet, held in Rochester May 22, was somewhat of a disappointment for the team. Kevin Sauter, ace hurdler and anchor man for the 880 yd. relay team, injured his foot and was unable to compete in the meet. The teams points came by way of a second by David McCullum in the mile and Mark Graham ' s fifth in the two mile. The season saw Kevin Sauter (low hurdles), David McCullum (mile and or half mile), and the mile relay team of Jim Richter, Dove McCullum, Jim Arms, and either Mark Guillaume or John Kennefich go undefeated in their respective events in conference competition. At the close of the season Benilde sported a host of men who received trophies for the best performance in the CCC in the events listed. They were: Kevin Sauter (high hur- dles — 14.5, a school record; low hur- dles— 21 .0), 880 relay team (Jay To- tino, Dave Spandle, Bill Roth, Kevin Sauter— 1 :34.6), Mark Graham (2 mile — 10:27.0), and the mile relay team (John Kennefick, Jim Richter, Dave McCullum and Jim Arms — 3:33.5). This was the final year as track coach for both Mr. Ek and Brother George. Mr. Ek will have his duties as athletic director and head basketball coach, while Brother George is head- ing for Grace High School in 1970-71. Next year ' s head coach will be Mr. John Haider, with assistants Mr. Jonezich and Mr. Breault all coming back. Mr. Kretch will be joining the staff.

CLASSES Freshman year is mainly a time of adjustment — adjustment to new school friends, new teachers, new sched- uling. A Freshman enters the halls of Benilde a young, scared kid. By the end of the year, he ' s not scared anymore. Freshmen are famous for being under 5 feet, having high squeaky voices, wearing pants that are tight Freshmen and about three inches too short, for carrying twice as many books as are necessary, dropping those books, for yelling, Give them the boot! in soprano at Pep Assemblies, and all sorts of groovy things that ore very noticeable. Without Freshmen to entertain the rest of the school, life would be a little less squirrely, but a lot more boring. Right: A lone Freshman ' s gym suit gives the locker room a very distinguished air.

They ore no longer Freshmen, but are not yet incorporated into the full swing of school life — a place reserved for Ju- niors and Seniors. Sophomores can go to dances, but are not old enough for Prom. They can compete in sports, but only the very exceptional make the varsity. They can run for Student Council, but cannot be leaders of it. All this can at times make life very frustrating. However, Sophomores can enjoy their newly acquired position. Now they are fully at home in the school, and they are surely more a part of it. Their courses of study are more involved, their relationships at school more close, and they are older. In fact, grade 10 is a perfect year to grow up in. ki F. Anderson M. Anderson D. Averbeck F. Barber J. Barrett J. Bartlett J. Battoglia M. Bauer J. Beck J. Bethke R. Bettenberg J. BMcik G.

Juniors and Seniors are the elite of the school. Underclassmen look up to them, teachers respect their ideas and opinions, and a newly found feeling of importance gives a Junior a top of the world image of himself. This cockiness is strong at the be- ginning of the year, when Juniors flaunt their title, and profess little, if any, fear of their Senior classmates. As the year progresses, through being in school every day, through going to hockey games, through just being older, the cockiness mellows into quiet confidence. And friction between the two school leaders becomes mutual respect. Being a Junior is having fun changing. W. Crowley M. Currie J. Darcy ps m n. % r:t 1 m M m . A W t 1 ) £ T. Holden C. Hughes W.

This was espe- cially evident in the campaign for S.C. President. Bob McCarthy favored the open campus and the abolishment of the dress code while Bob Dwyer come out against the Student Council approval of these measures. The con- test provided an interesting exchange of ideas among the students as all of the candidates presented their ideas in the classrooms. The results were: Student Council President — Bob Dwyer, 406— Bob McCarthy, 282. Second Vice-President — Brian Teeter, 402— Rick Sanders, 285. Secretary — Dan Snyder, 530.

Remembered most: Benilde closing. Save Benilde was a feeling that was created when authoritarian forces tried to say, Close Benilde, and, Close Hill. It was a feeling that was truly spontaneous and truly out- standing. It was a feeling that united faculty, students, alumni, parents. Pi- oneers, and Red Knights. It was a re- markable feeling that made everyone proud and kept Benilde open for, hopefully, many years to come. This is a brief, two page pictorial record of Save Benilde. The pictures on these pages need no captions. The faces are familiar enough. The events are familiar enough. The choice of pictures to be used on these Save Benilde pages is not important. The pictures are only representative of the many people that gave their all for one thing. Save Benilde. Many people deserve special thanks for their efforts: Mr. A. C. Reger, Rod Fraser, the Save Benilde Committee. But all of the thanks have been said, save one. The Class of ' 70 sincerely hopes that Benilde has not been saved for only one year. If their hope is not in vain, they would like to say, Thank you! to all of the future graduating classes of Benilde for keeping the Red Knight spirit, the Christian spirit, . . . the Saved Benilde spirit, alive. i Farewell S ' v ' ' ■ ■ ' «fti a « Ssi 5i jSrJ '   ' - ' ■,. .«yi .UtfBW -.jc EiS: I would like to thank several peo- ple for their invaluable help with this yearbook.
