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.

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.
