The word probably doesn't mean much to you. It should. There's no better way to describe this year, this school, or even the world that you live in. Yep. this was a year of change for Bcnildc. and it showed. The Benedictines were the biggest departure from tradition. They left their mark everywhere: whether it was a new set of courses, the addition of women teachers, physical improvements to the school, or a deeper emphasis on religion; change at Bcnildc was obvious. It’s always pretty hard for people to accept a swift change; such is true with everyone concerned at Benilde this year. Learning what Father Burton and the boys were like was lough, and it took a lot of talking for everyone to begin to adjust. Sure, 1971 was trying for a lot of folks, but the gains made from this year of change have yet to be felt. 8 9 Go ahead man. Take a hit. Drop. Nort. Shoot. Do it; don’t be a chicken. Aw crap, ya won’t get busted. Anyhow, your 'ol man and lady do do drugs; they drink, don’t they? Oh. don’t worry about a bummer, you’ll be too stoned to have one, man. Anyway, it's good dope. Today, unless you arc a hermit, there are few places that you can go to where you won’t be able to find drugs. Although the Bcnildc student body hasn’t gotten into drugs like those of most other schools, one can easily notice his school mates acting differently this year. What remains to be seen is how the students react to a heavy usage of drugs. There is much not yet known about dope. Do we realize this? Are we facing the consequences with responsibility and not ignorance? Time will tell. It’s true. The students at Benilde arc constantly changing: everyone wants to keep up with the times. They enter as Freshmen, destined to mature, to succeed. to Graduate. In all the time in between, they’re in a constant state of change. Change means so many things. It can go from good to bad, weak to strong, straight to freak. Change exists so that the boy can become man; it keeps people with the times. Benilde is relevant. So are it’s students. They change, as docs the school. They’ll sweat to succeed, and nothing's gonna let them get stepped on. It shows. It’s only good. It’s change. Amazing, isn’t it? How people forget. Few people seem to remember that Bcnildc was fated to close. It would have too. had it not been for a dedicated group of men. They carried the load. The men sought out a new order to take the place of the Brothers, raised a quarter of a million dollars, and in general, saved Bcnildc from extinction. Yessir, they changed things all right. Everybody took them for granted. Life went on as usual; in fact, some people even criticized what they did. Most of the students wouldn’t even know them by sight. Many arc dedicated parents of students, or interested professional people. They use some names, like the Save Bcnildc Committee. or the Board of Directors; some aren’t even associated with these groups, but rather, they’re just interested people. In ease you don’t know what this is all about, well, you’re reading a Dedication. The dedicated souls who saved Benilde were also the folks who changed it for the better. They changed Benilde from a dead issue to a better school. That’s good. That’s progress. Yet no one remembered nor appreciated their efforts. We did. You should. AlftAMNISTItATION Administration When the Benedictines assumed the responsibilities of operating Bcnilde High School, a new administration was formed. The administration department is led by Father Burton Bloms. the Director of Bcnilde. Mr. Habcn was promoted to the position of Bcnilde's principal. With his new duties, however, Mr. Habcn still has the painstaking task of scheduling the students’ courses. This job has become increasingly complex with the addition of many more subjects. Besides these two men, Bcnilde began this year an Administrative Council. This group met weekly and is one of the policy-making bodies at Bcnilde. Members of this council arc Father Arnold Wever, Father Burton Bloms. Mr. Crowley. Mr. Habcn, and Mr. Schienost. The religion department also took advantage of the semester system in new course offerings which included: Theology in Literature. Ideas of Man. Comparative Religions, and an independent student service course. The new depart- Religion ment head was Fr. Arnold Weber and assisting him were Mr. Patrick Kelly. Fr. Peregrin Berres. Mr. Ric Rosow. Mr. James Joranger, And Fr. Alexander Jacobson. Language Department Should you happen to hear the shouts of Et tu Brute” or dann gibf es nur eins — Sag Ncinl , don’t panic; you probably heard one of Bcnildc's language classes. Mrs. Wilson skillfully assisted her students in the study of French. In their fourth year, French students belong to a co-operative program with St. Mar-gret’s Academy. If anyone is interested in the speeches of Don Quixote or the real reason behind the defeat of the Spainish Armada, take Mr. Slcnglcin or Mr. Kondrak’s Spainish classes. One of the most comprehensive languages at Benildc is German. This four year program is designed to provide a student with the balanced knowledge of the language and culture of Germany. Last, but not least, is Latin. Since Latin is the only classical language at Benildc, Mr. Murphy tries to tic in the history and mythology of all the ancient cultures. 21 Social Studies Department The Social Studies department is headed by Mr. James Crowley and follows each student throught his years at Ben-ildc. Mr. Fronezak is in charge of instructing the juniors in a general world cultures study. In his senior classes. Mr. Jorangcr explores the economic philosophies and practices of the different governmental systems of past and present worlds. He also teaches American History. This year a new face greeted the anxious seniors. In his first year at Benildc. Father Alexander Jacobson has assumed command of the political science division. Father easily overcame even the most difficult problems devised by his seniors. Sociology is headed by our Mr. Crowley. The classes all present the questions facing out world, but finding answers to these questions are. of course, left up to the student’s ideas. 22 English Mr. James Ryan. English department head, introduced and helped to organize a much more varied and student-interest centered course of English study. Utilizing a semester system, new half-year course offerings included, among others: mythology, mass media, creative writing, and humanities. Next year’s plans move further in this direction on a “iri-mestcr plan. The English department had in its employ our two woman teachers. Miss Dana Noonan and Mrs. Carole Wilson. The other teachers in the department are Mr. Rick Janezich, and Mr. Gaylord Brusscau. Science SCIENCE DEPARTMENT For the first time this year, freshmen are introduced to the sciences. Basic science courses are provided by Mr. Brusscau and Mr. Dess. Sophomores take biology. Chemistry and Physics are optional courses for qualified juniors and seniors. They are taught by Mr. Lederman and Mr. Hendrickson respectively. Father Peregrin instructs a semester course in electricity. -it Math MATH DEPARTMENT Bcnilde has a tradition of providing a well structured background in the area of mathematics. This year the math department attempted to expand its program to include all students. Freshmen took the first step by building a foundation with basic algebra taught by Mr. Krctsch and Mr. Hendrickson. In their geometry classes. Mr. Patrias and Mr. Haider give their sophomores an opportunity to prove themselves. In their junior year, students return to algebra. With the help of Mr. Boufford and Mr. Kretsch. they developed a broader understanding of the principles of algebra. This year, for the first time, three math courses were offered to the seniors. These courses include Calculas, Math Analysis, and Math 12 taught by Mr. Patrias and Mr. Boufford. All three courses arc optional. Obviously, this department adds up to something! Guidance GUIDANCE Mr. Henry Scheinost became ihc new head of the guidance department this year. Working with him were Mr. Rick Rosow and Fr. Arnold Weber. Stu- dents were able to receive help with testing, college information, and personal counselling certainly all invaluable services for which the students are very grateful. Specialists SPECIALISTS Vitally important to variety and spice in academic life arc the “specialists.” Glee Club. band, typing, and phy ed add to student's choices in classes and inter- ests. Sweating behind the scenes unselfishly are people who don’t usually hear the thanks they deserve. Our gratitude goes to the librarian, the secretaries, the cooks, and the maintenance men. .. a Student Council Those guys never fail to be different. This year was no exception. Student Council President Bob Dwyer had hoped that his year’s Executive Board would accomplish two things: First, that they’d get more people involved, and second, make the Student Council more than a student service or a forum for opinion, but a community service as well. To accomplish these, unity and concern were needed; the council received apathy instead. Heck yes. the board was unified. Oddly enough, no one worked together, and to make things worse, the general assembly was totally indecisive. Only a few, dedicated, hardworking group of souls moved the Student Council office to an area w here the Senior jocks could most easily freeload in it. run a Christmas party for poor kids, produce a big activity such as the Flippers dance, conduct a letter writing campaign to help save the Parochial schools, or even manage to get the change machine to work for about an hour. Sure, the council got a lot of criticizsm this year. But it still managed, through individual efforts, to keep it’s place as the most important student organization at Benilde.

Cheerleaders “All for our side!” The teams adrenalin is bumped up a notch when those extra decibels pour over the players from the crowd. This is a fact realized by some good friends with hoarse voices, the cheerleaders. For them, the year was a gallant and exhausting effort, but for the teams that they supported, it proved invaluable. Just look at the team records; if that doesn't verify the screamers’ success, nothing will. Varsity Club Where’s the Varsity Club? You know, those guys in those red and white jackets. with all the emblems and pins on them. Most likely you'll sec them at any game, dance or otherwise. Yep, those Red Knights do support alright. It's kinda funny though: why doesn't the Varsity Club do anything as a group? Times were when they had meetings and stuff: heck, they even had their own formal dance a couple of times. But that was years ago! But the guys in the Varsity Club shouldn’t be criticized. They're alright: they do a heckuva lot for the school. Now, if someone could only get them together and have them do something as a group ... “Lancer” There is nothing wrong with the picture. The boys on the Lancer would only want things this way. You see, they changed the paper more than a little bit this year, and because of it. some folks got a little hot under the collar. Take ads for example — or even a new printer, or new types of layouts or even more pictures. However, they got away with some new things, too. Everyone has gotten tired of that old. true, stuffed shirt kind of writing that was always in the past issues, but those innovative cub reporters changed all of that. Flashy editorials raised eyebrows with delight. That wasn't all they did. The staff sought new ways to tell the news, and the format was changed, too: for the first time, editorials appeared on the front page. Although the Lancer received a lot of flack throughout the year, the staff took it all and at the same time, succeeded at what they attempted. They showed themselves to be true newspapermen; even at the cost of being different. Hats off to the Lancer staff for telling it like it wasn't. 34 Benilden You’re darned right it’s hard. Just try doing it sometime. The yearbook, that is. It wasn’t easy, but we managed, even if we did encounter many an cxcedcrin headache in the process. All the times that were spent working into the wee hours weren’t for naught. Rather, in our opinion, came something; not only an original, exciting, and outstanding yearbook, but a good one even. Yessir. we took what we thought what was good out of some previous copies of the Benilden (which, in our opinion wasn’t much; and added some advice, photographs, writing, time, arguements, imagination, salt, and elbow grease to make this year- book what it is. Experience? We had none. Save for our beloved editor and slavcmastcr. Brian Teeter, we were but rookies; however, we didn’t pick up any bad habits either. Of course, we needed a little help from our friends, and the American Yearbook Company proved itself to be a big one. There were times when we could have eared less for them (take the nights before deadlines as an example) but, in the long run, the help that the good guys from Topeka gave us proved to be the greatest thing against the ex-crutiating and ominous task of putting this damn thing together' 1971 Benilden Staff (I. TO R): Sieve Prosen. Dan Snjder. Kevin Smith. Larry Harris, Steve Newell. Greg Oakland. Dave Arnold, Jim Darcy, Mark William . Tim Shield , John Frenz. Joe Knaeblc. Tim Nolan. Pat O'Keefe. Brian Teeter. John Liberko. John Walsh (missing). 35 Debate Okay, so the Debaters weren't so hot this year. Don’t put the blame on them, though. Last year, there wasn’t even a Debate Team. Mr. Daly was the soul who took it upon himself to go and recruit the necessary guys to put a team together at all. Some support. Of fifteen Debaters, only one was an upperclassman. The total team experience was nil. In fact, the only thing that they really got out of the season was experience. The future, however, doesn’t look so bad for the Debate Team. With the talented personnel that they have, the youthful Debaters can only gain from the future. Debate Team (L TO R): Pete Aubert. Mike Pre-mo. John Kolars, Mike Kareli, Jeff Hylden. Tom Graff. Art Kou. Dan Larkin. Tim Daniels. Mr. Daly. Stage Crew Whenever you came lo any special event such as a danoc, an assembly, or a concert, you always saw the band, the speaker, or the singers. However, one group that you never saw who set these things up was a tireless bunch of gremlins dedicated to performing feats of magic with the gym. Who were they? The Stage Crew. If you ever saw one of these guys. you’d know it. Green skin, bloodshot eyes, and grey hair would identify them. For a member of the Stage Crew, life is a day that never ends. Put up. take down, put up again, take down again, and while they’re at it, why don’t they run the movies, design sets, fix some lights, check the mikes; and they're only getting started! A sad thing about the Stage Crew is that they never receive any due thanks, but rather, more orders to get back to work. Somehow, through all this, the members can somehow' manage a faint smile. Bless their little hearts. Stage Crew (L TO R): Jeff Matson, Jeff Kaminski. Fred Link. Bill Newcomb. Steve Kaminski. Greg Kaminski. Pat Gleason. Leo Schultz, John Frcnz. John Walsh (missing). 37 Band It was a good year! This year, as in the past three years, the band played on under the direction of Mr. Brengman. It expanded from an ensemble of ten to seventy members, with the addition of some girls from St. Margarets and Regina. For the first time. Band is a credit course. The students are recognizing the quality of their band. They have played many times throughout the year at football and basketball games and also for the Christmas and Spring concerts. Good work by each individual to make the band what it is proved that this year’s band was the best ever. Everyone should owe a vote of thanks to Mr. Brengman who, more than anyone else, was responsible for it’s success. He will be missed. Glee Club This year’s Glee Club has changed directing back to Mr. Murphy, who had been the director for a number of years. Under his able guidance the Glee Club played to a full season of enjoyable performances. In their Christmas Concert, they re-warmed some of the traditions by performing in the relaxed atmo- sphere of ski sweaters and tossle hats. The change was appreciated by both the audiences and the Glee Club itself. The Benilde Chorus also put on a Spring Concert and later went on the road for a couple of days to sing in Iowa. Sec, singing can be a blast! 39 Homecoming We finally did it! We won! Despite the fantastic efforts of a Dc-LaSallc night crew the Benilde Football team could not be denied that elusive Homecoming victory. They convincingly defeated Dc's day crew by a score of 13 to 8. on a mud soaked field. The game was just one part of a very successful Homecoming week. Between the pep rally's and the weekend festivities, nine deserving representatives gave their reasons as to why they should be our Homecoming Queen. Music following the speeches was pro- vided by Funk Junction. (Or was that Junk Function.) Vying for coveted award were Jayne Reid, Rene Savage, and Barb Sumner from Holy Angels; Vicky Palcn. Rose Gillespie, and Barb Myers of Regina; Muffy Bromshwigg. Laurie Herbert, and Jan Corbet, from St. Margerets. In the end Rose Gillespie of Regina, escorted by Tom Walsten won a very close contest and became our 1970 Homecoming Queen. Yes. we did it. And while we did, it was a blast. It was homecoming. . . Homecoming was dcfinitly different this year; for once, we won. Sloshing for a long gain. Jeff Per-lingcr (OPPOSITE PAGE. LOWER LEFT) was instrumental in the victory of Dc. That evening. The System (LEFT) set everyone right with their music, as candidate Barb Sumner (LOWER LEFT) shows. Reflecting shock. Rose Gillespc is crowned Homecoming Queen. Helplessly hoping. Sieve La cr, pic eating champ, wonders who won. “ ... And a good time was had by all.” Old fashioned, isn’t it? But it’s true. For Red Knights ball, that is. For those who came, it was great. Take the speeches for example. The union was crowded with guys and gals, among them was a large contingent of amateur comedians; to spice things up just a bit. The laughter was as spontanious as the cheers while the slightly nervous girls did their thing at the podium. At eight o'clock on the 15th of January. Red Knight’s Ball the Pride and Joy started up. and with it, a long enjoyable night. About an hour later, the feeling of electricity Tilled the Great Hall; coronation was imminent. Reigning Queen Mary Johnson walked at an excruciatingly slow pace past all of the candidates, suddenly speeding up, and quietly placed the crown on a surprised Dee Pattec. Slowly, but surely the various couples spread out into the night to conclude one of the better Red Knights Balls. Oh yes; a good time was had by all, too. Dee Patee wasn't the only person who enjoyed Red Knights; A look at Rene Smith (OPPOSITE FAR LEFT) and an admirer in the crowd (LEFT) prolrayed the gay times had by everyone. Waiting anxiously.

You went again to “alma mater” on Friday night, fought to get in. surrendered a buck and a half, danced a lot. grappled with De guys, picked up a chick, and spent the rest of the evening in the stands. Well, times have changed. Charlie. The music business is hurling and Ben-ilde was affected. You don't have to stand in mile-long lines: you don't have to worry about gelling into fights. In fact, the only people who did have to worry this year were the band promoters. But the Fabulous Flippers dance rescued all that. Months of preparation paid off, and the SI500 wonders provided the most memorable dance in our history of usually good dances. Everyone and his uncle came: even radio-KDWB's own DJ. “True Don Blue.” was the master of ceremonies. Perhaps good limes at dances will never return to us. If not. let’s hope the Flippers will. Everyone had been waiting year to sec the Flippers at Bcnildc. but the waiting wav worth it. The vocal qualities of I.cad Singer Dennis l.owcn (EAR II I T) and the brass accompaniment (A BOV I I El I) complctcl) mesmerised the crowd; but Brian Teeter (I EFT) wasn't one of them, as he spent the night running the show W ow. Plays Nice looking, huh? Where arc the pictures? Where were the plays this year? Just great. No plays this year. Stupid, wasn't it? Yes. No one gained anything. It has been noticeable that in the past few years, the Drama organization has gone to ruin. Why? No support. No money. If you ever took a look throughout the stage area, you'd notice that it was a death trap: rotted, old timbers for backdrop supports, electric plugs shorted out many times over, beat up old lights, beat up equipment rooms, beat up everything. This is only one of the many different organizations that have been on the way out. Terrific. Keep it up. Soon, there will be nothing. Something like this really gives one pride; God knows, our plays were pretty damn good at one time. However, that was when there were proud and well organized people to be had. God doesn’t hate us: we didn’t make the tournament but we had Spirit Week to soften that blow. Senior Class President John Flick, Spirit Week chairman, organized activities out of the ordinary. The fun included “grub days” which anything from brown bears to cowboys could be seen roaming freely through the halls. The tug-of-war champ went to the heavy Senior home room of 138; Spirit Week Steve Durr won all comers in arm wrestling. and freshman Octavio Pcrnell easily won the ping-pong championship. The ugly men were presented at half time of the Senior-Faculty basketball game. Senior Mike Perkins was the ugliest and the faculty won the basketball game 41-34. The class skits were the finale to spirit week and everyone left in good “spirits . Spirit Week was a carnival of events. Mike Fasching (LOWER RIGHT) kept careful watch on Mr. Rosow. the faculty representative for arm wrestling, as Steve Durr played with him (UPPER RIGHT).

Near insanity (the kind prisoners experience) looms in the air; until the Liberty Bell, Friday, 2:36. Freedom! Air! It’s a quick trip home for a change of clothes and a new arrangement for an evening of action. If you’re on the ball, you know where to go. After the games, the usual venture was to the Pizza House, home of THE greasy pizza. Then, of course, a party or two — or three. People to see, things to do, and plenty of food and drink. Our people’s revile was sung with merriment. If three’s a crowd, we had a movement. and certain amount of trouble is to be expected. But it put ones mind at ease to know that the law was not far away. Quick little feet and sly movements, however, prevented that notorious long arm from its chance to “ask a few questions.” Midnight hockey was the favorite of those who wanted to play it safe. The only bust on the rink might turn out to be a tooth or limb, obviously far less perilous. But Monday mornings wail was the age old experience that freedom has a price”, even for those who enjoy school. Half of the fun of going to school is not being there. Just sneaking out is also a gas (OPPOSITE PAGE. ABOVE RIGHT), provided you don’t get caught. It is. of course, the weekend evenings that arc so dear to everyone’s hearts; heck, hockey (ABOVE) or socializing (OPPOSITE. FAR ABOVE RIGHT) or even some cards and other diversions always provided some fun for Strong Bud and his five friends. 52 Football A mud bath is what each player actually took every time he stepped out onto our home field this year. However, Ben-ilde provided excellent competition, losing but three games. Bad breaks? They slaughtered us. They hit us when we were just gaining momentum. This only hindered our team but for a short time. “Kill!” was in the veins of the Knights as they pranced off to victory in our homecoming game. The Islanders could hear the knell of the clock’s seconds ticking away, knowing the bell would toll. Perlinger provided the Knights with a final score of twelve to eight. This was Benilde’s first homecoming victory in a decade. Three of our opponents got away lucky this year. With better luck, however, next year could well be different.

Hockey The 1970-71 edition of Red Knight Hockey proved to be a very exciting and rewarding year. Benilde. led by Cocaptains Joe Mulvehill and Duke Boe-ser. finished in second place in the CCC. losing only to Hill, one of the best teams in the state The knights took up where last year's team left off. Bemlde’s play was again marked by an explosive attack led by Jeff Boeser. Skip Suss and Bill Hcrbcr up front, and by defensemen. Joe Mulvehill and Jerry Gilligan. These players led Benilde to a third place trophy in the 1971 State Independent Hockey Tournament. The knights, lost only to Blake, the eventual champion. Joe Mulvehill and Skip Suss were honored as All-Tournament players. Benilde placed Joe Mulvehill and Jeff Boeser on the All-Conference first team for the second year in a row. Last year’s All-Conlercnce selection Jerry Gilligan. as well as Bill Herber and Skip Suss were given Honorable Mention. The Pit Crew was the greatest thing this season to promote school spirit. It was really great to see all the people supporting the Knights. Without their loyal fan's support, it is doubtful the Knights would have gone as far as they did. Next year promises to be another Benilde year in hockey as Co-captains Skip Suss and Gary Scanlon lead the Red Knights into another year at the Pit.

At the begginning of the year Coach Ek said that the team would be fun to watch. That was proven true in the very first game as the Cagers defeated Shattuck 55-51. When the team invaded St. Thomas's gym. the Tommies sent the Red Knights to the showers early with a decisive win. After a slight loss to St. Thomas later, the Cagers were defeated by narrow margins to Austin Pacelli and Cretin. There were seven ball games in which the Cagers were involved that it went down to the final buzzer and the Red Knights lost by only one or two points. The luck wasn’t with the hoopsters this year as their record finished up at an 11-10 mark. In the regional games the Red Knights ripped by Chaska Guardian Angels by a score of 92-54. Then the game of the year came: De LaSalle. Both teams had beaten each other once during the regular season. The Islanders took a early lead, but then the Red Knights started to roll and took a 16-13 first quarter lead, and a four point lead at the half. In the second half the Islanders tied it up with a minute to go in the game. Then Tim Goblirsch grabbed a rebound and put it back up for two points and made his free throw to put the Red Knights out in front. The Islanders brought the ball down and put in one of the luckiest shots of the evening and made the free throw on the foul to tie it up with 20 seconds left. Benilde then lost the ball on a turn over and the Islanders went in for a score with 3 seconds left on the clock to upset Benilde 47-45, for the region four championship. Even though the season ended abruptly they had some individual standouts in Tim Goblirsch and Daryl Brengman and Mike Fcycrciscn, who scored 355 points this year. 65 People had said throughout the entire season that this has got to be the best five-hundred ballclubever to exist. The enthusiasm generated in a sport event is shown through the face of a young lovely at one of 'he basketball games. (OPPOSITE PAGE).

Losing only to Blake, the Knights finished second with a 7-1 conference record. Co-captains Dave Freeman and Joe Tromiczak led the team under the guidance of rookie” coach Mr. Schcinost. The high-powered Bcnilde offense was lead by Senior Greg Samuelson who tallied 17 times. Also instrumental in the attack were Dick Miller and Joe Tromiczak. Dave Freeman anchored Benilde’s defense which allowed only about one goal per game. Named to the 1970 M.I.S.L. all Conference team were Seniors Tom Rochc-ford. Greg Samuelson. Joe Tromiczak and Two-time pick Dave Freeman. Dick Miller was given Honorable Mention. Next years team under the leadership of captain Chuck Foley and vice-captain Marty Gohr will face a rebuilding year. With only 10 returning leltcrmen, Ben-ilde must pin its hopes on a Promising B-squad team. Scrambling for the ball (ABOVE l.EFT).

Disaster seemed to dominate the rest of the year. Though team winnings dwindled, individual efforts constantly rose. Mark Graham led the team in the State meet, win winning first place individually. Mike Fasching, Rick Francis. Jim Clifford. and Mark Graham all were cho- sen for the C.C.C. All Conference Cross Country Team. This was an unusual year for the Cross Country runners. The team lacked Senior participation for the first time in the history of Bcnildc. The team should regain its position as State Champions next year, having won the title only once in the past four years. 70 V w Vi It lukc% guts to run.

Between periods Rabbit Welsh (RIGHT) takes a quick breather, and Bob Schmitt (OPPOSITE PAGE) puts the pressure on during a tough match. 72 :w Wrestling The mighty Red Knight grapplers took as their first victim of prey, Grace, at a 28-19 win. Proud of their first victories the Knights fell to a defeat of the “Tommies . From this point on. the struggle became tougher. But Benilde did not sit back and watch. With support of Mr. Lcder-man and the spectators the grapplers marched on to an 7-7 record. Team spirit really showed in rcgionals as the team placed second behind De La Salle. Placing in regionals were Se- niors: Jerry Hcnk at 112 Lbs., Jack McDonough 133 Lbs., and Bob Schmitt all taking first places. The tri-captains Jerry Hcnk, Jack McDonough and Bob Schmitt were the only wrestlers to place in the State Tourncmcnt. The future of the team looks quite profitable though we will be losing our tri-captains and two other seniors. Hopefully the up-coming B-squad members will be able to fill their positions. Swimming SWIM TEAM One of the lesser known winter sports at Bcnildc is the swim team. Although they arc usually overshadowed by the better known winter sports like hockey or basketball, there was much victory for the individual. With coach Howard (“Howie”) Meyers, once a swimmer at Mounds View High School, and the two co-captains, Andy Darling and Mike Beddor, the swim team came up with a greatly improved record of 6 wins and 8 losses, with the wins over Minnehaha Academy, Mechanic Arts, Washburn. Edisor and twice over Cretin to form their conquests. Tournament play however wasn’t in their favor, as the highest they could achieve was fourth place in the state tournament. But as in every year, the individuals still kept breaking school records. Mike Beddor, for instance, broke his record that he set last year by a margin of eight points. The prospects for the team next year look good, with the swimmers losing only three seniors. So, with some experience on the team, they hope to win more than their previous predessors could achieve. Swimming showed itself not to be all wet as Mike Duffy (OPPOSITE PAGE. ABOVE) pushed to a win while Mike Bcddoc (FAR AND EXTREME RIGHT) proved why he was State Diving champ. Sometimes, even a coach's cries (RIGHT) wouldn't help. Baseball In most cases, the success of a team is measured in it’s won-lost record. Varsity Baseball in ’71 may also befall this fate. Maybe it’s easy enough to explain a 5-15 season by listing the many injuries. the misplayed sure outs, and moan about the bad breaks; yet. there's no reason for this. Under the leadership of Co-captains Kevin Croulcy and Mike Feyerheysin. the Red Knights gave nothing but 110 per cent self-sacrifice and hustle throughout the season. True exponents of this are Jeff Per linger and Mike Feyerheysin. who were named All-Conference Honorable Mention. The team will not be likely to forget this year because they met and dealt with adversity; they learned to accept defeat as well as victory. Certainly the Baseball Team had a long season this year. Although players like Kevin Croulcy (OPPOSITE PAGE. FAR LEFT) and JelT Per-lingcr (OPPOSITE PAGE. LEFT) tried as hard as they could, nothing seemed to work. The disappointment was hard to bear, as the somber faces of coach Mr. Froncrak (ABOVE) and Chris Hughes (LEFT) illustrate. 77 Track Be Proud. The Track Team did a darn good job this year. Heck, with the C.C.C. as tough as it is, a third place finish should be good in anybody's book. That's not all. Fred. A second place finish in the Regionals and fifth in Stale are nothing to complain about. Hell, the team scores weren’t the whole ball of wax anyway. Think of how well those individuals did: Mark Graham had a lonely year; the only thing that he could do for excitement was to break his own record in the two mile run. Had Jim Dalsin vaulted any higher than he did, he might well have had to file a flight plan before each meet. These aren't the only guys who did well either; Pal Campbell, Mark Guilluame, Mike Fasching and Tom LcVoir arejust a few of the many names that could be thought of when you think of winners. Oh sure, there were weaknesses all right; maybe we didn’t have enough sprinters or relay men. So what if the distance men were Juniors, they won. didn’t they? Even if the Track Team wasn't number one. there’s nothing to worry about. They had a good year, and they’re only gonna get better. On the truck this ear, the Red Knights were everywhere, doing well in almost everything. Whether it was the strong arm of athlete of the year Pat Campbell (LEFT) in the Discus, the jumping prowess of Jim Dalsin (ABOVE), the elusive ability of distance man Mark Graham (FAR LEFT), or the sheer speed of Tom LeVoir (OPPOSITE PAGE. LEFT), the Track Team performed with brilliance. 79 In Track, time is an enemy as big as the guy next to you. For relaymen Jay Totino (RIGHT) and Tim Murphy (ABOVE RIGHT), the fight against lime is written on their faces; for Mike Fusching and Tom Litiihu (OPPOSITE PAGE. RIGHT), the struggle is one of strength and stamina; precision is hurdler Jim Reger's defense (OPPOSITE PAGE. ABOVE RIGHT) against the clock. Record vaultcr Jim Dalsin (OPPOSITE PAGE, FAR LEFT) has a unique opponent: time and space. 80 81 Golf Surprise! No one really expected this year's Golf Team to amount to much, but the critics were fooled; the golfers turned in a 7 and 4 finish. Unfortunately, the team’s finish was good for only fourth place in the conference. Although the team didn't take the conference championship that they had hoped for. it was the individuals on the team who shined. Why? Because there were four (count 'em) four different medalists, including Tom Young. Gary Bartlett, Dan Miller, and Jerry Gilligan. With the loss of only one Senior for next year, the team’s prospects look bright. If the '71 golfers were a pleasant surprise for Benildc this year, then next year may well be an expected disappointment for their rivals; the Golf Team expects success next year. Without a doubt, the Golf Team's toughest challenge at the State Tournament this year was nature. The soggy conditions made things rough Tor Gary Bartlett (RIGHT) and Tom Young (A-BOV t). a tenth place team finish was evidence of this. In Tennis. Dick Miller face (OPPOSITE PAGE. RIGHT) mirrored the concentration that made him a consistent victor this year. 82 Tennis Whal a bummer. The Tennis Team took fourth in the conference. Last year, they finished second. Damn it! Just talk to some of the racqueteers. they’ll tell you. No depth. Oh sure, at the start of the year, they were hopeful; they beat De easily enough. They had a rough time with Cretin, and they’re a young team. From there on. things got rough. Hill and St. Thomas always arc. It just wasn’t there for Benilde. You know the rest. The Sun never shined on the Tennis Team. It’s a shame, they’re nice guys. Oh well, maybe next year . S3 Varsity Teams The Varsity Football Team. FRONT ROW: J. Blevins. J MuKrhill, M. Olson.

The word “soph-o-morc” is rarely uttered in the same breath with Junior, Senior, or uppcrclass. In the past, this was with good reason — Sophomores arc usually characterized as being in a transitional state, from happy go lucky frosh to semi-mature upperclassmen, and only a few ever seem to really get involved with anything really important. This year was an exception. Many of them played on Varsity team. The Debate team was exclusively made up of freshmen and sophomores, the latter providing experience for the newly arrived frosh. Several sophomores were very active on the newspaper while others lent a hand in putting out this book. At Benilde, the role of a sophomore seems to be changing from that of a follower to that of a future leader. 100 T. Armstrong P. Aubcrt J. Babcock R. Bangjsscr K Bar beau C. Bates P. Battaglia C.

They had athletes, scholars, leaders, and followers. They had strengths and weaknesses, but above all. they had class unity; they were Juniors. This year the Junior class made their own path, rather than follow in any one elsc’s footsteps. At limes, the Juniors excelled; at other times, they didn’t quite measure up. Granted, they were on the Varsity teams, but so were the Frosh and Sophs. They were in the Band and on the Glee Club, but this didn't distinguish them as a class either. The thing that seemed true about the Junior Class as a whole was their lack of involvement. Few of them worked on the Lancer or the Benilden. Only one was a Cheerleader. On the other hand. they had a great cheering section at the athletic events, and were ever present at the dances. This year, the juniors seemed to be striving for individuality in more varied ways than ever before. They had parties, dances, sports, and daily trips to McDonalds; they loved all of them. However, the Juniors never really got into other good things, like Student council or other forms of “social action. Next year's grads will be looked upon as leaders by the rest of the school. They arc diverse, fun-loving, and not involved enough. Only time will tell whether they overcome their problems, and at the same time, live up to the responsibility of being Seniors. F.

Zee 118 •.1 Seniors Seniors Okay, the Seniors didn’t accomplish much this year, but at least they had fun while not doing it. It's kind of a shame, because the Administration and the students both, didn't realize the talent and potential of the class. At least the Seniors had their say this year. One word of advice the Grad’s all agreed on was to have a united faculty this coming year and in succeeding years. However, the problem of too many chiefs and no indians hurt the Class of’71’. For the friction that all of the 192 Seniors went through this year, they gained from it. Heck, it made them better people; at least they’re ready to face a very cruel world.

(BELOW RIGHT) or a few minutes spent to talk. (OPPOSITE PAGE, LOWER RIGHT) no one ever wasted Umc. Salt, Pepper, and Spice (OPPOSITE PAGE. EXTREME RIGHT) had their work cut out for them, as they had to keep everyone moving; and their music easily accomplished that. There’s no other way to describe it. You came to dance. Salt, Pepper, and Spice came to play, and boy, did they ever! Oh. and there was this guy in the Student Union. He was great! He sat up there with his guitar, and did any song that you wanted him to. It’s a damn shame that Prom doesn’t happen more than once a year. Sure, it’s expensive, but what the hell; it was a gas!! Prom If you went to Prom this year, you probably had to sell your little sister so that you could afford to go. had a great time that night, and when you woke up the next day, you most likely had one helluva headache. Smile, it was worth it! “The Electric Circus’’, as it was called, left everyone wondering as to what the gym was going to look like. The wait was worth it. From the moment you first entered until the time that you left, you were attacked by light in all forms. 153 Student Council Elections What a joke. Times were, when the two weeks that the Student Council Elections were held, happened to be the most exciting two weeks of the year. The candidates used nonstop speeches, posters galore, buttons, balloons, stickers, and even girls in order to get support. Where did those times go? Times like those seem so far away now. This year showed it. There’s a growing attitude of apathy by almost everyone towards the elections. Posters weren’t very apparent; not only that, there were no balloons, no buttons, no nothing. If you were lucky, you might have heard a speech by a candidate. It seemed that the students didn't mind, though. Heck, only seventy per cent of the students cared to vote at all. Lots of people can bitch about how crappy the S.C. Executive Board is. Funny. They put them there. 154 If there is one important day during the Student Council Elections, certainly, that day is the last. Why? Because, that is when students like John Freruel (OPPOSITE PAGE) cast their all important votes. During the final speeches, Mark Graham (ABOVE) stood tall as he went on to win the Student Council Presidency. Later, outgoing President Bob Dwyer (LEFT), reflecting on the past year, urged increased involvement in the future. 155 Springitis “Ah. Spring! Oh. the wonders of it! There is that something special about it; that particular entity that lures me to it’s special charms: the warming sun. the blue sky, the green, green, grass, and my discovery that soon enough, school’s gonna end!! Who gives a damn about homework or tests; soon. I’ll be free!!” The following quote is from a lad who. like many young Americans today, is suffering from a serious disease, Springitis. Symptoms usually include: an apathetic altitude towards any kind of work dealing with school, a starry-eyed facial expression, strong cravings to take off certain articles of clothing, and finally, a general tendency to raise hell while in school. The disease is caused by the youth’s desire to escape from the strains of the school that he has to work for during the year along with the anxiety caused by his apparent inability to be excused from what he is involved with in order to enjoy the improved weather during Spring. To all of you who read this, you must know the seriousness of this disease. It is potent alright. Almost anyone of High School age becomes inflicted by Springitis, and yet, we just let it repeat year after year. America, the time to stop Springitis is now! Don’t underestimate it! If we do, we will sec this terrible disease spread like Folio, the Plague or Acne. Act today!! The following are pictorial examples of people suffering from Springilis. The person playing golf (OPPOSITE PAGE. LEFT) is suffering from the physical aspect of Springitis; his approach to putting the ball is confused. The two speakers (ABOVE LEFT) have been stricken by the mental aspect; they believe that they are politicians. The three youths. (LEFT) shown here at an outdoor party under the influence of Springitis; they are part of a nationwide abuse by youth of this disease. Graduation It was a sight to bring tears to the eyes of any mother that night. Her son. He’s finally gonna graduate! The feeling was different for that particular son among the 192 Seniors, he must have felt a little scared, impatient to get it over with, and happy too. And he sat ... And sat. That grad must have been a little hot under that gown, and maybe he was a little bored by the length of time that he had to wait, but soon, his lime would come. Four years. It’s a long lime. Lots of things happened. He must have thought of plenty of things while he waited: about the graduation presents he got, the parties that night, or even if the Black Hawks were winning that final Stanly Cup game. Suddenly, the time came. He was standing now, in line, ever waiting for that big moment. His heart began to pound. Closer. Closer. His name was called; he nervously stepped up, shook with the right hand, took his diploma with the left, and bowed. It wasn't all that bad. It was over. He must have felt a tinge of pride, a blush at that kiss. His girl was by him. and he knew, as his picture was being taken, that he wasn’t a kid any more. The Class of 1971 have gone now. Ben-ilde will be different without them. And you know what? Some of’em will probably miss the place. For the Class of 1971, the night of May 18 meant quite a bit. There they sat (OPPOSITE PAGE. LEFT) waiting, reminiscing and thinking about what the keynote speaker. Reverend Blame Cook (ABOVE) had to say. It was moment of pride for Bob Dwyer (LEFT) as he. after four long years of devotion to Bcnilde. happily receives his Diploma. Senior Index Robert G. Allison David E.

Woodfill 165 Quite a few things happened this year, not only at Bcnildc, but in the world around it. Much of it was easily forgotten as you sat there, engrossed in school and other things. Trials were big news this year. The Manson case ended with all defendants being found guilty. Lieutenant Calley had a much better fate; although he too was found guilty, public sentiment from all corners of the globe urged President Nixon to grant him amnesty. Transportation within the U.S. changed substantially as the passenger train system was reorganized under Amtrak. a new government program. The SST project was stabbed in the back as Congress voted down on vital appropriation measures for the plane. The credibility gap became a major issue as Senate investigations uncovered various F.B.I. activities on wire tapping. Freedom of speech laws were questioned as several newspapers printed excerpts of secret Pentagon reports on Viet Nam policy. People found out that, as their boys were returning from an unpopular war in Viet Nam, many of those who returned were Heroin addicts. A typhoon struck Pakistan causing what may be the worst disaster of the century. Lead. Mercury, and Phosphates were Retrospect new additions to the list of things that the folks in the ecology movement wanted to get rid of. In sports. Joe Frazier defeated Mo-hamed Ali in a fifteen round thriller of a fight. For losing. Ali staggered home over a million dollars richer. The Montreal Canadians came out of nowhere, upsetting Chicago in their bid for the Stanley Cup. In baseball, Vida Blue showed that he was the best pitcher in the Major Leagues, as he reeled off win after win. The world of music was upset by some deaths, breakups, and retirements. Pop musicians Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin died only weeks apart in drug related deaths. The Beatles told the world that they were through as a group; and Frank Sinatra hung up his vocal chords and retired after an illustrious career. Closer to home, the Red Knights won their first Homecoming game in a decade. The High School Bowl team performed with brilliance, and went on to finish second in local competition. To no one’s surprise, the Senior Class forgot to go to school one day this spring, and held the first Hollydale Open instead. Mark Graham became the new Student Council President, Mr. O’Reilly left Bcnilde. and recently elected Governor Anderson signed a controversial bill granting state aid to the parents of non-public schools. Farewell It’s gonna be great to return to the human race. Being Editor this year is a lonely job. It’s a formidable task, particularly when people neither help you nor thank you for what you have done. There were those times of despair, when I just sat there, late at night, wondering why in the name of God I was doing this. Maybe the writing is a wee bit strong for your blood. I’m not sorry if it is. Frankly, our yearbooks of years past have always been behind the times. Every Bcnildcn that I have ever seen (and that’s all of them) has never failed to lie. to be indecisive, to fall short of involving itself with you. I didn’t want that. Instead. I strove to accomplish two things. First. I wanted an up-to-date, quality publication, as good as any in it's field, and. second. I wanted an accurate, far reaching yearbook that would show Bcnilde as it really is. I can’t say enough for the small, dedicated group of souls who were my only steady workers. Everyone else did a lot of talking until it was time to produce. Of all the guys on the staff. Jim Fox. John Walsh, and Mark Williams were the people who I knew that I could trust. To thank them just isn’t enough. John Camp of Jay’s Cameras, the gang at Photos. Inc., and the kind folks from Scherling-Pletsch Studios. Mr. Bill Pletsch and Steve Larson in particular, were the kind of people whom I could count on when I needed some high quality prints, and in a half hour. I owe them my soul. If John Christopherson, our company representative had tried any harder for me. he would have gotten an ulcer. Being Editor was a true challenge to my sanity. I’m still trying to figure out how my parents were able to put up with me for the last two years. They’re the greatest. Just when the pressure was the hardest to bear, a true companion saved me from quitting altogether. Patty Wagner is her name, and I don’t think that she’ll ever know how much she helped me. I am a fortunate person to have someone special. I wish Mark Williams, as my succeeding Editor, the best of luck. I feel confident that he can cope with the burden that I have placed on him. To the Benedictines, I want to extend my gratitude for their supporting me. They face, in the next few years, trying times. Support them. If you do. you’ll support the existence of Bcnilde. Well. I’m finally done. I can’t believe it! Excuse me. but I think I’ll go and celebrate ...
