Benilde St Margarets School - Sangraal / Benilden Yearbook (St Louis Park, MN)

Stage Stage, decorations, formal dances, projectors, Student Council, plays, sports, trainers, iscoreboards. Lancer, Benilden--you can find a member of the stage crew what the seniors voted Jeff Mattson, four-year member. Despite the nonexistent budget, die stage crew seems to keep tilings running most of the time. The merger with St. Margaret's will give the stage a needed shot in the arm, with additional lights and equipment. Pete Regan, RIGHT, will be the only stage hand returning next year. The three seniors are, FROM LEFT TO RIGHT, Mike Karels, Bill Harding, and Jeff Harry Mattson. The stage crew often works long hours, as will testify the teachers of the classes they miss. The work is not without rewards; just knowing you did it, you got it to work is very satisfying. And that faint cheer when the clock is fixed in the middle of the first quarter of a basketball game even seems to help. If the stage was used less as a storage room and dumping ground, these behind-the-scenes laborers would probably even feel successful. Maybe with one less stage available for Benilde-St. Margaret's plays...

THE DEBATE TEAM, BACK ROW, LEFT IO RIGHT: Ms. Moore, C. Klingbeil, R. Madson, M. Daly, G. Mevisson, M. McBride; FRONT ROW: D. Smieja, T. Hromatka, K. Reger. Debate The Debate team started from scratch this year and built itself into a respectable, challenging team. Most of the members were new to debate, thus experiencing the more frustrating moments in the beginning of the season before the more successful ones later on. The success of the team was in their individual wins. They were up against tough competition all year long but still held their own. Ms. Moore, their coach, said of the years performance, I was really proud of the de-bators, especially at the end of the season when they were giving more established teams a real challenge. The team has a firm foundation to build upon for next year and is looking forward with bright expectations. 24

SMA Volleyball Season Finishes, Gets Fourth in League Tournament Pucksters Opon The Season Sports Calendar Matmen Make Start Once again those jeweled journalists, those masters of quick quips and quotes, strove to produce journalistic masterpieces, never before seen in the world of the multimedia. This year the paper had two co-editors; Mike Keefe and Tom Law. This proved to work out quite well, as one appeared to be a soft spoken conservative, while the other seemed a liberal hard-ass. They balanced each other out pretty well. Although plagued by such calamities as a small staff (you would have never guessed it from the number who showed up to have their picture taken.) and disagreeable printers, as well as trying to get together with St. Margaret's the paper usually rolled out on schedule. They may blow it occasionally, but at least no one at either school cancelled his her subscription. EDITORS NOTE: We take no credit and or responsibility for the article which appears above, since it is obviously the work of a highly egotistical Lancer staffer. 26
