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.

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.
