The chess team, in its second year, lias become an integral part of the Bcnilde scene. The team had an undefeated first half, tying only Armstrong. The team was fortunate to have all of its top players returning. The team started the second half by beating Cooper. Next, they were stonewalled by Armstrong, this was the worst defeat of the chessmen’s careers. They finished the season beating Robbinsdale. Their record of 8-1-1, was good enough for First in their division. The team was directed by coach John Boufford.

Dances Benilde hosted many dances this year, and despite the rowdiness of a few seniors the dances were a success. The Commissioner of Student Activities, Joe Larkin, was in charge of lining up the bands and for the most part he did a very good job. The groups included Copperhead, Jesse Brady, and the ever popular Jay and the Reefers. The Reefers put on the best show, with their back to the 50's' music. The Reefers got their start at Benilde and are led by graduate. Jay Totino, and Senior, Jerry Maritato. They were announced by Benilde's resident greaser, Greg Anderson. A dance contest was held and Rick Francis took first place winning a gold studded guitar. The dances were a big success financially netting the student council about $400.00 a dance. As usual the faculty helped out and kep chaos down to a minimum. This year everyone worked together to make the dances a success. 25

The team was headed by senior Jeff I Iylden and freshman Chad Klingbeil who finished 1-5, Sophomores Pat Moran and Simon Root, who finished 5-2, and Tim Kelso and Wade English posted a 0-1 record.

With a little support and more interest, the delate team should be around for many years to come. (L TO R) C. Klingbeil, P. Moran, Mr. Ervasti, W. English, J. 1 Iylden.
