Lancer-Marscot Things are not going too well for the Lancer-Marscot, but they are not doing too badly either. Merged by an Administration Edict in 1971, this Benilde-St. Margaret’s newspaper has struggled, and has come very close to becoming a successful publication. The paper, in its second year of publication under the combined format, is run by its editor Jeff Sweetser. The Lancer-Marscot has provided Benilde with reports ranging from sports, to the Student Council, to the High School Bowl. Not to be forgotten however, are the other members of the paper, the girls from St. Margaret’s. Ms. Sue Ferron and Ms. Jean Schwind, Leading the St. Margaret's Academy delegation, brought to the Lancer-Marscot a touch of professionalism and femininity (although liberated) that has been sorely lacking in the Lancer. The Lancer-Marscot has served as an interesting beginning. Its creation has shown the problems involved in any form of Ben-Mar merger. But the pain gone through in these first years will pay off. The Lancer and Marscot were fine papers, but the Lancer-Marscot will provide a wider scope, and will eventually achieve a higher degree of perfection. The Lancer-Marscot is still far from perfect, but under the leadership of people like Ferron, Schwind, and Sweetser, and moderators like Ms. Pat Volp and Mrs. Wilson, it will slowly but surely reach the level of respect it deserves from those it serves — Benilde and St. Margaret’s Academy.

Debate they posted a 1-3 won-lost record. In meetings at Armstrong, Spring Lake Park, and Park Center, the team was 2-2, 1-1, and 2-2 respectively. For the rest of the season the team kept close to the . 500 mark. 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. Next year Benilde should have a strong debate team. Returning will be starters, Pat Moran, Simon Root and Chad Klingbeil. They will lie backed up by Tim Kelso and Wade English. 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.
