MARGARET’S HIGH SCHOOL 2501 SOUTH HIGHWAY 100 ST. LOUIS PARK, MINNESOTA cJLl 'Tile It is with resolute faith that we initiate SANGRAAL 75. Faith not only in our school and in God, but also faith in ourselves. We believe that Benilde-St. Margaret's has helped us prepare for whatever new beginnings may challenge us. The theme for SANGRAAL 75 is beginnings. That doesn't take much explaining. However, the name of the book does. You see, according to legend... Sangraal (sah-grai), or Holy Grail, was the chalice used by Christ at the Last Supper. It was given to Joseph of Arimathea who then took it to Britain. The cup was liidden away when the land fell into wickedness. A vision of the Grail appeared first to a nun and then to the Knights of the Round Table at Camelot. It was so enchanting that all of the knights vowed to search for it. Legend ruled that only the purest could find Sangraal. The knights errant set out with staunch hearts, but only one succeeded. Sir Galahad, the perfect knight, found it and died, clad in silver armor and with a face like an angel's. Sangraal was then borne up into heaven, never to be seen again. As we assemble here at the Round Table of Benilde-St. Margaret's, some are already searching for the Sangraal in their lives. Let us be strengthened and consoled by one another so that we may continue in our quests. We trust that through this book every Red Knight will remember part of his or her journey. EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Paula Jayne Jarosh Ann Victoria Price ADVISOR Mrs. Jan Johnson Academics 6 Organizations Fall Winter Underclassmen Seniors Spring There’s a season for beginnings when the world is fresh and new, when we shape our dreams of all the things we plan and hope to do. A season for maturing when we think and work and grow. And a season for the harvesting of all we've come to know. And each successive season grows still richer than the last as treasures of the present add to memories of the past. Karen Ravn 4 To say that the first few days of the '74-'75 Benilde-St. Margaret's school year were chaotic would be a serious understatement. They were truly incredible. When over 900 students finally found their homerooms on the first day, they were confronted with the huge task of deciphering a computer printout of their full-year schedules. The computer itself was two days behind in spewing out trimester schedules. They then set out to find their classrooms and figure out if they were indeed in that class, let alone that room or time period. The flexibly scheduled people came back to school the next day only to find that they faced a completely new schedule since it was no longer Day II (or was it Day III?). Everyone had quite a time. On the lighter side, the effects of segregation could be seen in most classrooms as the co-ed situation was a new experience for all. The student union was not only integrated, but quite crowded, reflecting our herding instinct in times of panic. Credit is due, though, to the administration who acted admirably even though they were in the same state of confusion as the students. Special credit is due to Sr. Marie Herbert who spent many hours straightening out students and teachers alike. No one could say that the first days were a bore. 5 Administration At the bottom of announcements (always prohibiting some kind of Student activity) one usually found the imprimatur, The Administration . The name invoked an immediate reaction of suspicion. What else can they take away from us?' was an oft-heard lament. However, many had the opportunity to meet the rule-makers face-to-face during the course of the year. They came away feeling these so-called ogres weren't half as bad as they thought. Sr. Marie Herbert, and Fr. Corwin Collins, showed personal concern for the welfare of each student, and did their best to provide him or her with a stimulating but safe enviroment. We sincerely thank them for their efforts and hope less hairs will be torn out on the account of future students. AT LEFT-Sr. Marie Herbert, BELOW-Fr. Corwin Collins, Co-Principals 8 CLOCKWISE: Mrs. Esther Zaragoza-Secretary; Mr. Henry Scheinost-Counselor; Mrs. Jeanne Eilertsen-Counselor; Mrs. Margaret Delmore-Secretary; NOT PICTURED-Mrs. Mary McCann-Sec-retay. Guidance Trying to cope with 900 some students the Guidance Department found that they had their hands full. With the aid of class moderators, the counselors pulled through another year of advising students, shuffling class schedules, checking senior credits, hosting college reps., and performing the interminable task of giving tests. They deserve a round of applause and they've got it! 9 Developing the students writing, listening, speaking, and reading abilities is the primary function of the English Department. Several new courses have been modeled in order to broaden the spectrum of English opportunities open to the student. COUNTERCLOCKWISE: Mrs. Bette MePhee-Writing Lab, Short Story; Mrs. Lilia Eakins--English I, Folklore; Mr. James Ryan --Adv. Placement, Science Fiction; Mrs. Patricia Moore--Creative Writing, Mass Media; Sister St. Kevin--Resource Center; Mrs. Gloria Johnson--Images of Man, Film; Mrs. Britt Carnes--Leisure Reading, Mythology. NOT PICTURED is Mr. Steve Setzler who teaches English I. 11 Benilde-St. Margaret's art program offers students the opportunity to develop their own personal style of visual expression through experiencing various media in painting, drawing, clay, and crafts. RIGHT: Mrs. Janet Johnson—Basic design, ceramics, and crafts. FAR RIGHT: Mr. Charles O'Hearn—painting, drawing, and photography. The goals of physical education are to strengthen flexibility and social skills, though alumni are most grateful for learning the 30-second shower technique. Who says high school doesn't prepare one for life? RIGHT: Mrs. Mary Grudnowski--Girl's Phy. Ed. 12 In the past, Benilde had a somewhat restricted music program. Only two credits were offered, band and chorus. SMA on the other hand, always had an extensive program in piano instruction. The departments have combined to form a new, revitalized music curriculum that offers a wide spectrum of music opportunities including lessons, ensembles, and participation in state contests. CLOCKWISE, BELOW: Ms. Diane Strafelda— Choral groups and voice; Mrs. Miriam Junker—Band; Sr. Virginia Cutting--piano. The feminine mystique or bachelor know how? The Home Ec Department has embraced coed reality by involving both sexes in activities traditionally considered feminine. Guys really can be domestic. RIGHT: Mrs. Kris Krueger The Business Department, in a continuing effort to offer a wide variety of courses to prepare the students for the necessities of life, was expanded this year due to the merger. With more teachers and courses, the impact on the students was greater, with a larger enrollment in most of the sections. Growing in size and importance, the department looks forward to an ever-increasing program and enrollment in years to come. BOTTOM RIGHT: Mr. Rob Moore-- Business and accounting; BOTTOM LEFT: Mrs. Norma Scherer--Typing and shorthand. ft oi igS’Language ' It is the function of the Foreign Language Department to provide a new experience for students by introducing them to innovative mediums of Commu-ication (done mostly by hand) and different culture patterns (tacos, beer, and indigestion). This is made possible by expanding the tape library, career days, opportunities for foreign travel and those hard-fought scrabble games with Senor Steeber. TOP TO BOTTOM, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Kathleen Wolf— French 1-4; Mr. Lordell Ebensteincr—German 1-4; Mrs. Lydia De La Torre--Spanish 3-4; Mr. Patrick Steeber —1-2; Sister Mary Lang—Latin 1-4, American History. The Social Studies Department continued its never ending struggle to keep history alive this year. Between Sr. Mary's struggles with AV machines twice her size, Mr. Kosel confusing coconuts with basketballs in International Relations, and Mr. Joranger revealing to his students that they only let nuts teach psychology, it was quite a year! Mr. Moriarity finally achieved adulthood on his first airplane flight to Washington, D.C. with eleven rambunctious students. Mr. Sundrum had problems distinguishing between Julius Caesar from Shakespeare and King Hussein from his International Relations course. Who could miss Mr. Ha ben towering five feet over his Freshmen students? COUNTERCLOCKWISE: Mr. Tom Kosel—Political Sciencey Urban Studies; Mr. Bill Haben—Japan, Latin America; Mr. Jim Joranger —Psychology, American History; Mr. Tim Moriarity—Russia, Southeast Asia; Mr. Sylvian Sundrum—International Relations, Africa, Shakespeare. Social Studies The Religion Department attempts to satisfy one's spiritual needs while encouraging Christian service. These goals are achieved by classroom instruction, retreats, personal witness and school masses. LEFT TO RIGHT: TOP: Mr. Tom McDermott—Other Christian Re -ligions, Church In its Infancy; Miss Jane Barnard—Sacraments. She also teaches two English courses. MIDDLE: Miss Nancy Greenwood—Other Christian Religions, Christian Sexuality; Sr. Clarice—Resource Center; Mr. Jack Allen—Beginnings, Belief in God. BOTTOM: Mr. Tom Toohey—Marriage, Freshman Religion; Fr. Robert—Meaning of the Future, Freshman Religion. 17 Tomorrow’s world will require scientists to be specialized. Solutions to the world energy crisis and myriads of other dilemmas need to be found. To meet the challenge, Benilde-St. Margaret's has gone beyond traditional biology, chemistry, physics and algebra. Math and science courses were offered this year in subjects including electronics, human physiology, aviation and calculus. LEFT TO RIGHT, TOP TO BOTTOM: Mrs. Pauline Ellison-Algebra; Mr. Ron Kretsch-Al-gebra Trigonometry, Phy. Ed. and Health; Mr. E. M.

This page is dedicated to those brownies who work in virtual obscurity to keep the school running efficiently; the specialists. We can only extend them our hcartful thanks and hope they continue to give as much of themselves in future years. COUNTERCLOCKWISE: Mrs. Barbara Burkholder-Librarian; Father Francis Studer-Director of Development, Transportation; Miss Sally Ferron-Public Relations; Mr. John Roering, Mr. Dan Ferrin-Custodians; Mrs. Millie Owens-Housekeeping; Mr. John King-Bookeeper; Mrs. Anne Pence-Business Manager; Mrs. Joan Chevalier, Mrs. Marion Williams, Mrs. Betty Rosenow, Mrs. Doris Christensen-Cafeteria. NOT PICTURED: Mr. Loren Weum-Custodian; Mrs. Billie Reger-Nurse. 20 Sangraal Well, we finally finished Sangraal '75-74. Don't ask us how we did it! The only thing that kept us going was the Nankin and Peter Regan. They always reminded us that Yearbooks are bound to last! We can boast of a proud record of never meeting any deadlines--although many times we were tempted to -- by our own Argentine advisor, Mrs. Jan Johnson; but we never gave in. We even refused a lifetime supply of Archway Molasses Cookies in return for a met deadline. This took a lot of will power from Anne. Mrs. Johnson advised us right and left, being rather negative about square pictures. She was the idol of every working dummy, (we've got too many as it is!) and supplied us with all the dummy jokes we could handle. Contrary to popular belief, she DID know who was on the staff and who was not (M.B. are you listening) Where are you going tonight? How about some Salisbury steak, Paula? Our Co-Editors were truly amazing—especially Anne. Every night she managed to convince us that she actually had a good reason for coming late; but really, how many times do the pop machines have to be cleaned? She did work very hard and long, when she finally did get here. Anne also managed to pull some pretty cute stunts— like getting out of French and electrocuting Fr. Corwin, all in the same day. She is famous for staying up late during weekends (with Dick?). If nothing else, we did teach her to spell: T-I-M, E-C-C. Paula Okee-dokee Jarosh was always on time and ready to work. She (like Anne) also stayed up rather late-with Johnny Carson, Tom Snyder, and Groucho Marx. We've promised her a free trip to either Visalia ( it's summer in California ) or Brazil along with all the necessary supplies, such as Pringles a frozen water balloon, and powdered donuts. Our faithful underlay staff, Jim and Erin (Members of the Pica Counters Union) always came up with just the right layouts for Paula, Anne, and Mrs. Johnson to change. With their rule-a-head, photo-fit, copy key, and grease pencil they were ready to take over the world (or at least the hallway). Erin with her Hawaiian Punch, sore lingers, and Jim with his never ending question of, where's my pen? and with his carpet sweeper, lists, and hot donuts (not for sale) kept us clean, fed, typed, and organized. The pair extraordinaire, Mark Premo and John Jarvis performed above and beyond the call of duty this year. Along with Rich Rolfs and his 5 second timer and Diana Altrichter the book really fell into place. We would like to offer a special thanks to all those who were not on the staff but helped and also to our Josten's representative, Burt Hcdstrom. When you hear the tone we will all be on our way to Argentina with our $ 1,000,000 budget, a recording of Singing in the rain , and Peter Regan. The 1974-1975 Sangrall staff strikes a pose of their own.

MISSING: Yearbook Advisor Mrs. Janet Johnson, Miriam Olson (artwork), Peter Regan (honorary staff member.) 25 Knight-Errant The Benilde-St. Margaret's newspaper staff, led by enthusiastic editor-in-chief Vickie Zimmer, began the year without an identity. They soon found themselves under a new newspaper name, the Knight-Errant. Under the supervision of Sally Ferron, advisor, a staff member always had a strong hand on his or her shoulder for support. The Knight-Errant serves an important purpose. It keeps students informed about happenings within BSM and allows them the opportunity' to voice their opinions. The paper staff enjoyed a successful year, encouraged each month as another newspaper came out full of bylines as rewards for effective newsfinding. Thanks for reading!

Student Council Starting a new organization by combining the best of the two, Benilde and St. Margaret's, is not the easiest thing to do. This year's Student Council managed to take that first step forward, starting back in the spring of '74, when seven Executive Board members were elected. Plans were made and traditions were started. Class Board elections held in October made the council complete and operable as a school function. Although some members showed a neglect toward their duties as elected officials, many others proved themselves to be true leaders hopefully to serve the Student Council in the future. Of the many things accomplished— Homecoming Week, buses to games, dances, assemblies, picking a new school song, Spirit Week, scholarships, and working on solutions for general problems that occur in school, were some of the major ones. As a new organization, the Student Council proved that the students could be represented in something positive could result because of it. Hopefully the system can improve its proficiency, as the school grows tighter bonds through time, with itself, its students, and its faculty. Pete Regan President 28 The Student Council Executive Board members are; COUNTERCLOCKWISE: Paul Shallbetter--Commissioner of Student Activities; Bob Ruff—Senior Class President; Tom Kosel--Advisor; Anne Price—Treasurer; Peter Regan—President; Joan Kalb--Secretary; Paula Jarosh--Vice-President; Mark Burgess-Freshman Class President; Mark Haben—Junior Class President; Miriam Olson--Commissioner of Publicity; Jill Somers—Sophomore Class President. 29 Stage crew, LEFT TO RIGHT: Julie Nelson, Phil Enck, Jenny Walsh, Pete Regan; TOP: Wade English, Mike Daly. Stage Crew One of the least appreciated and hardest working organizations is the stage crew. With a lot of spirit --but little money, the stage managed to put sets together for both the school plays--which took place at two different buildings. They also were on duty at every dance sponsored by Benilde- St. Margaret's. High School Bowl High School Bowl Team STANDING: Pat Moran (Captain), Simon Root (Alternate), Pat Peller, Jim Gay SITTING: Mark Premo. NOT PICTURED: Coach Jim Ryan. Which of BSM's teams is the fastest with their hands, most devastating with their tongues, and gulps the most water during a match? It is none other than those mind-boggled finger snappers, the High School Bowl Team. These zany zingers were seniors Pat Moran, Captain, Jim Gay, Pat Peller and Mark Premo, with Simon Root as alternate. Forestalling any indignation at the all male make-up of the team, Coach Jim Ryan explained that he made his selection on the basis of brains, not beauty. Saturday, October 26 was D-Day. Daring, Devoted, and Death-Defying, the team gathered at KSTP Color Television Studios: Their victim was to be Mariner High School of White Bear Lake. Amid questions mixing animals and car models, our team (well prepared in all the classics) was defeated. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted. 31 Cheerleading Orchestra Hall....

Under the direction of Miss Diane Strafclda, the choir took on a full schedule of performances including a service at Fort Snelling, a Christmas Concert, engagements at two nursing homes, and the Dayton's Christmas party. They ended the year with a presenatation of Vivaldi's Gloria and the annual spring concert. The group also fared well in the Minnesota Independent School Music Association Festival in March. This year's officers were: Joe Davenport-Pres., Ann Sutton -Vice-Pres., Margaret Stoltz-Secretary, Barb Steichen-Treas-urer, and Cathy Hedges-Librarian. The Singers performed superbly and were greeted enthusiastically everywhere they went (their favorite performance was at the airport----Where's Miss Strafelda?) Next year's choir will have a tough act to follow, but will come through with the usual high degree of diversifed talent that has already become a tradition at BSM.

The singers were directed by Miss Diane Strafelda and showed promise for the years a-hcad, as members of the Concert Choir, or as a solid core group for next year's Glee Club. The officers of the group were: Dcnice Peters-Presdient, Diane Ripple -Vice President, Lisa Jarosh-Sec-tetary, Kitty Pyzdrowski-Treas-urer, and Ann Mueller-Librarian. 37 Chess This year's chess team aspired to qualify for the state meet, but early setbacks and the loss of a member lead the club to a year of defeat and apathy. The squad forfeited its first match because of a communications gap, but came back to defeat Anoka 3-2 for its first and only win. The starting five boards comprised of Mark Premo 75, Bill Cottrell 75, John Berg 76, Mike Daly 76, and Bob Speeter 77 were talented, but the loss of Cottrell to the basketball team and more crossed signals resulting in forfeited matches disheartened the team considerably. The club would like to thank Mr. Boufford for his years of volunteer service to the club. Mrs. Aiken will take over as coach next year. The Chess Team members are: Steve Hudoba, John Berg, Bob Speeter, Mike Daly, and Mark Premo. Table Tennis In its first year of competition, our table tennis team began with little experience in team competition and developed into a competitive team in the Minnesota High School League. After a losing season in AAA competition, our team looks forward to a brighter future in AA competition, with all team members returning.

They had to overcome such obstacles as having very few classrooms with screens, learning to use new equipment, and a shortage of members. A.V. kids could be seen dashing through the halls with projectors, tape recorders, and record players at any time of the day.

Rombley Terry Anderson Bob Marget Advisor- Sr. Mary 39 Homecoming Skits The homecoming skits were a new experience for everyone this year. Following the theme, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to______, they were a complete mixture of Benilde's improvisation and St. Margaret’s elaborate scenery and costumes. Though none of the performances were nominated for an Oscar, each class showed talent, some more subtle than others. The smiling seniors ran off with the top honor for best skit. The night life consisted of the traditional homecoming speeches followed by a dance and an added surprise, a bonfire in the parking lot. This year's homecoming activities turned out successfully, as the charred skeleton of the river rat will gladly testify. Homecoming Dance and Coronation Highlighting the Homecoming Week activities, was the long-awaited semi-formal dance and queen coronation. Approximately seventy-five couples and a few uninvited extras (swinging singles) arrived at the Holiday Inn Central for an evening of dancing and socializing. Excellent music was provided by the band Sterling. Climaxing the gala affair was the crowning of the first Benilde-St. Margaret’s homecoming queen, Cindy McNulty. 44 Queen candidates were FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Michelle Sheehy, Cindy McNulty, Maureen Warren, Karen Johnson, Denise Franzen, and Jean Ikola. 45 Homecoming Game BSM 42 DE LA SALLE 6 On the afternoon of October 18, Benilde-St. Margaret's fans poured into the bleachers, hoping that their team would be victorious. They soon found that they had nothing to worry about as the gridders grounded the Islanders, with excellent showings by both offense and defense. As the game ended, the small crowd from De silently slipped away while the scoreboard flashed the final score--a 42-6 victory for the Red Knights. -ifv 47 Charly’s Aunt I'm from Brazil, where the nuts come from. This line, used throughout the play by Charly's Aunt, is said to introduce another character into the hodge-podge created by author Brandon Thomas. Charly's Aunt, a semi-farcical comedy, was presented under the direction of Ms. Pat Moore at the former St. Margaret's Academy. The story dealt with two young Englishmen, Jack Chesney and Charly Wykeham, who were in love with the beautiful ingenues, Kitty Verdun and Amy Spittigue. In order that they might invite the two girls over, Charly's aunt from Brazil was to chaperone. She didn't show up, however, and their friend Lord Francourt masqueraded as the relative. Over-protective Stephen Spittigue, Amy's uncle and Kitty's guardian, attempted to dazzle Charly's aunt because he thought she was an heiress. Jack's father also arrived and both of them think that poor Francourt is the girl I've been waiting for. When Charly's real aunt, Donna Lucia, came to call things did get somewhat confused. Lord Francourt had fallen hopelessly in love with Donna Lucia's adopted niece. This complicated matters almost beyond repair. However, in the end the whole affair is patched up with s several marriages, leaving Brassett, the all knowing butler and Stephen Spittigue as the only unmarrieds.

Perhaps underestimated by many because of their 8-10-1 overall record, the Red Knights established themselves as a powerhouse, at one time being rated ninth in the state. At the outset of the season, Coach Hank Scheinost expressed optimism about his team's chances. With a talented group coming off the B-squad level, he set a league division championship and a win in a regional game as his goal. Throughout the season the team was hit hard by injuries and, as a result, was caught in a slump near the end of the season. We improved, and I felt we played up to our potential most of the time, Coach Scheinost remarked. The team's conference record of 7-5-1 did not bring out the fact that of the 19 total games the Knights played, 11 of them were decided by one goal, with Benildc-St. Margaret's on the losing side 8 times. In a strong performance, the Knights beat St. Louis Park in the first game of the regionals, 4-3. Three nights later, in the pouring rain, they fell to the hands of Richfield by 3-0. Thus the season ended in disappointment, but with a hint of better things to come next year. Captain Mike Bruckbauer and vice-captains Tom Mogush and Kevin Healy will be leading a strong field of returning lettermen and a strong B-squad, advancing to varsity ranks. Seniors captain Terry Carr and vice-captain Tom Sweeney were elected all-conference, as was junior goalie Mogush. Carr, a halfback, was later honored by being chosen all-state. The stage is set for a winning season in 75. 51 Varsity STANDING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach H. Scheinost, T. Williams, N. Hatlic, D. Hynes, G. Dorfner, P. Behmen, B. Lundberg, M. Kilian, T. Armitage, R.

And they did. Unfortunately Stillwater and St. Cloud Cathedral played a little better, and the Knights were defeated in their first two games. When student apathy began to show, the gridders came back with an astounding 24-6 victory over a strong Cretin team before a delighted home crowd. Avenging a 23-0 loss the next week to Hill-Murray, the team traveled to Austin and Northfield and came back with a two game winning streak under their belts and enough excitement to last a season as they stopped Northfield twice on their goal line in the first half. Their streak was ended there as they lost a hard-hitting game to conference-champions St. Thomas. Homecoming, the next week, however, spurred the Knights on as they walloped De La Salle 42-6 in a field day for the defense and the offense. Ending the season on a good note, the gridders traveled to Rochester and preserved their third place finish by defeating Lourdes. Under the coaching of Mr. John Boufford, Mr. Tim Moriarity, and Mr. Jim Joranger, the Knights were successful in completing their second straight winning season. Much credit is due to the co-cap-tains Pat Walter and Tim Miller as they dominated not only on the field but in leadership. Termed by most to be a very successful season, it was especially gratifying to the five seniors who were named All Conference, and Tim Oberuc, John Klein, and Paul Schumacher who received Honorable Mention. Prospects are good for next season as co-captains Jim Boufford and Bill LeVoir lead a talented group of returning lettermen into what should be another winning season for the Knights.

Anyone who watched a meet witnessed the hard work and determination exhibited by every team member. Girls cross country was lead by Captain Betsy Murphy 76 and Coach Tom Kosel. The team took second in the Metropolitan Girls Athletic League Championship meet in which Betsy Murphy and Peggy Ross placed second and fourth respectively. The two juniors were then honored by being named to the all-conference squad. Next season's team has an excellent chance of taking the conference and state titles, losing no members to graduation. 15 50 Concordia 21 40 Minneapolis Lutheran 23 36 Grace 19 42 St. Paul Academy 15 48 Holy Angels 26 29 Hill-Murray 22 35 Regina IS 49 Brady STANDING, LEFT TO RIGHT: J.

They exploded at the Rochester Invitational, their first meet of the season, and captured first place out of a field of 14 teams. Next came the Early Bird meet where the Knights again showed us their explosive power by placing third out of 18 teams—the best they've finished to date in this competition. Thus, beginning a steady barrage of first place finishes in both single and dual meets, the team closed their regular season with an 8-0 conference record and a 12-0 overall record. The Knights captured the CCC crown in a championship meet with Cretin, a team possessing a winning streak of 21 CCC meets in a row, to bring the title back to the Knights for the ninth time in 13 years and the third time in 5 years with Coach Ron Kretsch at the helm. This year's seven man team ran extremely well together as a unit with the four seniors; Joe Davenport, Kevin Smith, Mark Dahl, and Bill Cottrell paving the way in leadership and success. All four seniors earned all-conference honors for the 1974 season. Next year's team should be very promising with returning runners as contenders for the seven man varsity team. Another CCC championship is in order for a team of championship quality. 20 40 Rochester Lourdes 16 46 Mpls. Washburn 17 46 Mpls. Lutheran 15 50 De La Salle 19 42 Grace BSM 23 36 Mpls.

B-Squad 61 Volleyball The Benilde-St. Margaret's volleyball team had an excellent season finishing with a conference record of 11-1. This was the first year that the team won the conference title. Coach Grudnowski felt the girls learned much this year and that they were more of a team than in previous years. Nervousness was the most awesome foe the squad struggled with, and their record clearly shows who the victor was. With many returning letter people, hopes run high for a possible state crown next season. 2 1 Park Center 2 0 Grace 2 1 St. Paul Academy 2 0 Visitation 2 0 St. Bernards 2 1 Breck 2 1 De La Salle 2 0 Hill-Murray 2 1 Brady 2 1 Concordia 2 0 Regina 1 • 2 Derham 62 Varsity BACK ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: D.

The swimming team has surfaced again, and this time with a half-dozen mermaids tc supplement its growth. Together they endure enoless training sessions and frustrating meets to become a unified body intent on one idea; to get out of that freezing water! Landlocked practices began in September under the supervision of Mr. David Jones, a student at the U. The team hit the water (brrr!) in November, and made steady progress, hoping to peak in February. Lack of meet experience and depth were two underlying factors in the Tankers' agonizingly close losses to De, Central and Columbia Heights. Outstanding were Sophomore Pat Hamilton (sprint), and Frosh Peggy Kemp (distance). Though disapointing from a statistical point of view, the sport provided the students with another means of expressing themselves, and the formation of a girls' team next fall should solidify its hold as a varsity sport. 64 Christmas Dance The Thunderbird Motel played host to the Benilde-St. Margaret's Christmas Dance on December 22 and saw a complete success. The Senior Class Board had a profit of $350.00. Senior Class President Bob Ruff was in charge of the dance with help from the rest of the Senior Class Board, junior Mark Haben, and sophomore Jill Somers. The affair was a dinner-dance with Emerald City providing the music. The food was generally poor. This was overshadowed by tiie facilities provided. There was a good floor and a spacious lounge for relaxing. Dcllarson took photos and Santa Claus (alias Pat Weber) was available to pose with couples. 68 70 Christmas Concert While a co-ed Christinas concert wasn't new for anyone except the freshmen and a few notable first-timers, this year's extravaganza (held at Anwatan school auditorium) proved to be a unique experience for everyone involved. Strains of carols could be heard during class as die chorus sang and the band's brass quartet played in a hail of pennies, nickels, and dimes in the days leading up to the climax, die concert itself. One new face belonged to Miss Diane Strafe Ida, the choral director. This was her debut in front of BSM parents and friends, and she did a fine job. Certainly one of die most memorable (and agonizingly long) moments occured when the lights went out during die band's performance of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. Several bars and sweaty palms later, the lights came back on to find sixty or so red blazers still waltzing along, as if nodiing had happened under the direction of Mrs. Miriam Junker. Several choral groups--Conceit Choir, Girl's Glee Club, Pop Group, and Madrigals performed selections ranging from traditional carols to a speaking chorus, Where Shall I Find die Christ Child. The concert ended with a finale for chorus and band. With such music excellence displayed by all groups, one could only look forward to future encounters with these talented individuals. 71 Dances The Student Council can take pride in saying, Every soc-hop this year was a success. There were a total of seven soc-hops. Each one brought in a good deal of money, making it possible for the Student Council to share profits with various organizations throughout the school, such as the band, swim team, gymnastics, and drama clubs. The bands were all top notch crowd pleasers--especially one in particular that was voted favorite group by the senior class. Hey pals and gals .. .Trick.. .when are we having a '50’s dance?...

Besides the fact that this picture gives obvious indications of what type of people were on the ski club executive board, the ski club, functioning as this school's largest organization, has put together some fine ski trips this season--thanks to the cooperative efforts of Mrs. Kris Krueger. The officers spent a great deal of time in planning activities which the students could participate in during many of the Share Days. These activities were not limited to club members. Unfortunately, in order to have had a ski club at all this year, it had to be agreed upon that the group would not sponsor overnights. Since club activities went so well this year, the group hopes to make overnights a part of next year's schedule. John Crampton's spirit lives within all of us. 73 Hockey The young Benilde-St. Margaret's hockey team turned in a regular season record of 10-8-2 overall, with a 7-4-1 conference mark, good for third place behind Hill-Murray and Cretin. The team was captained by seniors Tim Lutz, Bill McDowell and John Klein. But with only two other seniors, John Dwyer and Greg Dorfner, on the team, the Knights lacked the comeback fight, and the experience to beat teams like Hill-Murray and St. Paul Academy. They lost to Cretin twice, once in overtime, the other in a high spirited and penalty filled game. Yet the pucksters showed good form in trouncing Rochester Lourdes and Brady twice; Breck, Rosemount, and St. Anthony fell in non-conference games, with the Icemen picking up victories over St. Thomas, St. Bernards', and St. Agnes in CCC competition. Leading scorers for the year were Tom Mogush with 13 goals, 21 assists and Terry Lutz with 13 goals and 17 assists. Matt Mankey had the most goals in regular season, with 14. Goaltending was balanced with juniors Mike Renier and Bruce Lundberg proving their ability, something questioned in pre-season. Sixteen juniors including the two goalies, and many promising sophomores should keep BSM hockey going strong next year. 74 f « 5 1 7 2 1 10 5 6 S 4 8 3 3 6 8 1 9 0 4 4 4 4 10 0 10 0 1 6 4 3 1 6 3 3 3 8 2 6 7 2 St. Thomas St. Anthony Hill-Murray Cretin Breck St. Agnes Armstrong Rochester Lourdes Rochester Lourdes St. Agnes St. Paul Academy St. Bernard's Brady C re tin Rosemount Mound -Westtonka Tartan Hill-Murray Spring Lake Park Brady 75 B-Squad WON 12 LOST 7 TIKI) I Varsity FRONT ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Mike Kilian, Mike Smith, Jim Boufford, Mike Renier, Bruce I.undbcrg, Matt Mankey, Terry Lutz, Tom Mogush, SECOND ROW: Tom Scars, John Dwyer, Chris Lyon, Kevin Hcaly, John Thclemann, Chris Carr, Bill McDowell, Greg Dorfner, THIRD ROW: Manager Greg Musil, George Kemp, John Celia, John Klein, Tim Lutz, Tony DcLisi, Tim Frederick, Coach John Haider 77 Girls’ Basketball This year the girls' basketball team entered the season with high hopes. They set out to defend the State title that they had won last year, having lost only three seniors from last years team. In the State's toughest girl's conference public or private, the Knight's came out of the season with a 9-0 conference record and for the first time, a conference basketball title. Over all, the team finished 15-2, losing only to Rochester Lourdes, and Holy Angels. What the record doesn't take into account is the last minute losses, losing by only a total of three points. The knight's won their own hosted tournament in December, handling the Lourdes Eagles their first defeat of the season. Playing Lourdes on their homecourt was another story. The team finished second in the Lourses Torunament, losing to Rochester 40-39. Despite the disapponiting conclusion BSM did have a successful season. Yet in the end it was neither lack of luck nor confidence which kept the Red Knight's from having their dream season. But it was the difference between winning and losing, success and failute, and a State Championship berth and a bleacher seat. 78 S3 27 44 25 48 27 45 42 SS 12 54 37 46 28 73 11 52 23 39 40 S3 10 70 21 37 23 62 39 Minnehaha Academy Hill-Murray Central Rochester Lourdes De La Salle Holy Angels Grace St. Bernard's Winsted Holy Trinity Rochester Lourdes Visitation Brady Regina Derham Hall Varsity LEFT TO RIGHT: Jill Somers, Lou Ann Stanoch, Fran Dwyer, Nanny Schwappech, Joan Kalb, Kathy Votava, Debbie Galbraith, Joan Kowalsky, Lisa Morin, Julie Stevens, LuAnn Dwyer, Molly Cashman.

To the delight of the home fans, however, the Knights came out on the winning end of their first game of the season with a thrilling 43 -42 win over St. Agnes, the margin provided by two clutch free tljrows by Bill Cottrell. Unfortunately, the cagers were unable to put together any sort of a winning string as they took on conference and non-conference foes alike. With a win interspersed here and there, student apathy was kept to a minimum as the fans consistently came out to support their team. Of course the bright spots were there--the dominating leadership provided by captains Norton Hatlic and Paul Hazuka, the persistent attack of Pat Walter and Tony Pctxoski, the bench strength demonstrated by Phil Hatlie and Bill Cottrell, the eternal spirit of the fans in the stands, the annual bus to Rochester, and the quick trip to Shakey's after the game. Blame for the losing record can hardly be laid on the players or the coaching staff as they plugged away, giving their best effort in each and every game. For now, the team is just no match for some of the larger, stronger schools in the area. It's no disgrace to be represented by dedicated athletes, win or lose.

Both were in danger of closing and chose the alternative of merging the two schools. We are different than most senior classes in the sense that we cannot go back in time and remark on the four years of memories we shared. We can harbor in the mind what has been learned and experienced in the old Benilde and the old St. Margaret’s, but we could only spend one year with our graduating class. But although we only have one year to remember as a class, we should recall that year as one that had great significance to the new Benilde-St. Margaret's. Our class gave up much for the new school; we also helped in giving the rest of the school direction- thought and opinion- along a path never traveled before. As underclassmen watched curiously and followed closely, we as seniors made the first step in forming the attitudes of the years to come. Yes, we had some important responsibilities. Let us also realize that what we have done has not only been vital for the future of Benilde-St. Margaret's but also that the personalities that we have shaped and formed during our high school years will be with us for the rest of our lives. What we make of ourselves will remain throughout eternity. Four years.. .they have passed.

Our Twins didn't quite make it--again. After a long, restful winter, Hank Aaron came through with his 715th homerun, Ali regained his heavyweight crown, and Orange Juice Simpson became the 1975 Superstar’s Champ . In politics, Watergate continued, forcing Nixon to resign, bringing to us for the first time, a non-elected President, Jerry Ford. Inflation continued to rise and the nation's economy suffered drastically. As oil prices increased, King Faisal was chosen as Time magazine's Man of the Year. In the world of entertainment, we lost many celebrities who had entertained us for years. Among them were Jack Benny, Joe Flynn, Bobby Darrin, and the unforgettable Colonel Henry Blake. Other happenings included Elvis turning 40, the return of the Mousketeers, and the Smothers Brothers being cancelled again. Shows like Happy Days and MASH remained popular and disaster films such as Towering Inferno and Earthquake were box-office hits. The movie that seemed to be a favorite for all of us was Young Frankenstein. During its first year, Benilde St. Margaret's encountered all of the problems of adjustment that a new school has. We also found a few of our own, such as.. .having to use plastic silverware that breaks when you try to eat meatloaf or french toast, firedrills that caused a major epidemic of colds to spread throughout the student body, the seniors worked hard to get open campus and they finally did--the problem was that the sophomores and juniors thought they had it too. And then there were the stalls in the bathrooms.. .about the time the girls got doors on theirs, the boys discovered theirs were missing. Despite the problems we had, many good things happened that made the year worthwhile. The sports teams, both boys and girls, almost all had successful seasons, the Student Council had a strong first year, formal dances and soc-hops went very well, and a new school song was chosen. The faculty and students worked closely together to make the merger a success and learned a great deal from their experiences. The senior class graduated wearing rings of two separate schools, but realizing they were graduating from one school, the best of both, Benilde St. Margaret's. Both boys and girls adjusted to the change very well and helped to make the first year one that none of us will ever forget. We hope this book will help to keep these memories alive. TGWD. 160 Tournaments The young and determined Red Knights hockey team finished third in their conference with a record of 10-7-3. They then entered district competition and proved their ability as a team, defeating Holy Angels 7-2. Lacking the experience of tournament play, the Knights lost the second district game in the third period 7-4 to Edison. Juniors Matt Mankey and Tom Mogush were honored by being chosen all-conference with honorable mentions going to John Dwyer and Terry Lutz. The hockey team looks forward to a promising season next year with many returning letter-men. The girls' basketball team finished their season successfully, winning the conference title with a 9-0 record. In the district tournaments, the Knights crushed Bloomington-Lincoln and Wayzata with scores of 59-21 and 49-23 to advance to the finals. The season ended in disappointment with an unexpected loss when in the final seconds of play, Holy Angels scored to take the lead winning 40-38. Losing only two seniors, the team looks forward to yet another winning season. The BSM grapplers' season ended in disappointment also, with no wrestlers advancing to state competition. The teams' overall record was 6-6 with a conference record of 3-3. In district competition, Bill Brownson became the first BSM place-winner in districts taking sixth place, while Creg Miller and Phil Enck placed seventh. The team was led well by experienced co-captains Brownson and Miller. Five seniors will be lost to graduation but the team looks forward to a bright future. The boys' basketball season came to a close with a conference record of 4-12. After their slow season hopes ran high for a good showing in districts. Following their 73-67 district win over Blake, the fans went wild. Their meeting with Marshall U proved to be a disappointing end to the Knights' season as they lost 48-47 in a game in which they dominated. With the return of many key players, the Knights look to the future for an improved season. The swim team finished its first season with tliree members--Pat Hamilton, Brian Whiteley and Peggy Kemp going on to compete in regionals. Captain Pat Hamilton was the only BSM swimmer to qualify for the state swim meet and later received the teams' award of Most Valuable Swimmer. Other awards went to Dan Pattee for Most Improved Swimmer and Peggy Kemp for 'roughest Swimmer. Girls’ Track The girls' track team had another extremely successful season this year, taking the MGAL conference title for the fourth year in a row. This year the title was won by a wider margin than in previous years. Tri-captains JoAnne Battaglia, Fran Dwyer and Joan Kalb displayed good leadership. The rest of the team followed then- example by working harder than ever, keeping up the strong dedication to their sport—despite the gloomy weather. Competition was tough and many of the team members were on their first year of high school track; they all worked well together to form a team with the right combination of sprinters, hurdlers, shot putters and high jumpers to emerge as the top team in their conference.

Boys’ Track The boys' track team accomplished what they set out to do this season—to turn in a respectable season record near the top. The team was composed mostly of seniors who had had very successful and unbeatable seasons last year. They worked long and hard to develop into a very strong team that was hard to beat. Many new school records were set in addition to some all time Minnesota State Track Records in Class A competition. The team placed third in Class A at the state track meet. Notable this year was the fact that Paul Hazuka became the first individual from any private school ever to win a Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Championship in any sport. Also, the mile relay team became the first boys' team to win a MSHSL team championship in any sport. Varsity STANDING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach Ron Kretsch, Coach John Haider, M. Conway, T. DeLisi, N.

They had both good hitting and pitching potential, but they couldn't seem to break away from their inconsistent play to make it matter enough. Had they been able to really pull their game together, the Knights would have had a much better season with a good shot at the conference title. Next year's team looks very promising with the possibility of nine seniors and two juniors returning, with a very good b-squad to choose from. Over half of the team will have had experience on the varsity squad, and they will have lost only six players to graduation. Varsity STANDING, LEFT TO RIGHT: M. Foley, S. Conway, J. Walsh, D.

This was not too terribly difficult seeing as how they were the only high school rugby team in the state of Minnesota. They're also the first team to take state without winning any games! Their scores sounded something like this— 35-15 (St. Thomas B squad), 10-0 (U. of M. B squad), 45-10 (Minneapolis Men's R team), and 26-0 (St. Paul Men's B team). They would be more impressive if like in cross country, low score wins. On the other hand, consideration is due to the fact that they played only college and men's teams. The team may have had a less than successful season but they were a hard-working and very much talked about team this year. They started from scratch and made themselves and their game known. If they continue to have the same kind of spirit and good heartedness they showed this year, it doesn't matter if they never win--they're giving it their all and at the same time, having a good time. We'll be rooting for them again next year--after all, they have nowhere to go but up! Good luck team! STANDING, LEFT TO RIGHT: M. Gordo Powers, J. L. Buddy Gilligan, B. Ernie Hickey, M.

Golf The BSM golf team was a little teed off at first because of the excessive rains, but they soon discovered a fair way to stay in shape by practicing driving shots into nets in the locker room. They were a bit green at first, which was par for their course. They soon turned their entire group into one working club. The opposing teams were not overly rough on BSM, and it was not by a stroke of luck that our team enjoyed a successful season. Their overall record was 10 wins and 6 losses with a conference record of 8 wins and 2 losses. 8 0 Holy Angels 4 4 St. Agnes 6 2 Cretin 1 7 Hill-Murray 7 1 Cretin 225 232 Richfield 7 1 Brady BSM 2 6 Grace 1 7 St. Thomas 8 0 De La Salle 7 1 St. Agnes ♦332 309 Jefferson 332 323 Burnsville 333 315 Minnetonka 6 2 Brady 7 1 Grace ♦addition of four players' total strokes STANDING, LEFT TO RIGHT: Coach Myron Henrickson, Bill McDowell, Mark Dahl, Mike Bruckbauer, KNEELING: Terry Amundsen, Mark Hentges, John Steichen.

Tennis The BSM tennis team did very well this season considering the weather they had to deal with, and the large number of students who wanted to play. Their overall record stands at 11 wins and 5 losses with a conference record of 10 wins and 4 losses. The team finished third out of eight in their conference and was seeded eighth in district 18 play. In the district 18 team tourney, they suffered a 5-0 defeat to Hopkins-Lindberg, a team unseeded in the Lake conference. In the district 18 Individual Tournament, Tom Wesely had a first round win against a Richfield second singles player. He then lost in the second round to an Edina West singles player. All other BSM players lost in their first rounds. With the interest in tennis that was shown this year, the team and Coach Jim Ryan look forward to an even more successful and hopefully less rainy season next year. Our apologies to the Tennis Team and Coach Ryan for the absence of tennis action pictures. A Dellarson photographer was present and did take pictures of a match played against Hill-Murray in St. Paul. The pictures were misplaced at the studio and unable to be found. In this case, Dellarson was at fault.

Cindy Boes Wins Prize For BSM Song Lyrics By Mark Premo During the general confusion of Spirit Week a special contest was held that had a more profound effect on the school than all of the others combined. It was the write-the-words-to-the-new-school-song competition. So while some of us were tugging relentlessly or being trivial, others were slaving, writing lyrics to music. The winner, Cindy Boes 75, received a $10 prize for her efforts. It became apparent last fall that a new school song would be necessary in order to reflect the identity of the new school. The BSM band taped several college fightsongs for the Student Council. The General Assembly chose Ohio State's Across the Field. However, unfortunate references to the Buckeye State didn't make much sense here in Minnesota, so the Student Council sponsored the contest. About five entries were submitted. I just thought it would be fun to try it, said Cindy after winning the contest. It's really an honor to have your words sung by fellow and future students. Across the Field Go! Benilde-St. Margaret's High We cheer with pride today. Our voices strong with courage, Hear the cry! And join in song to say . . . Fight! Fight! Fight! For honor with pride. Red and white All hail to your side . . . Red Knights will ever be Charging on to a victory! Editor's note: The above article first appeared in the April 24 edition (Volume IV, Issue 7) of the 1975 Knight-Errant, and is reprinted here by permission. Spirit Week Benilde-St. Margaret's had its first Spirit Week, complete with movies, contests, dress-up days, challenges and a climactic talent show. A wide variety of movies were offered ranging from Son of Flubber to Finian’s Rainbow. Contests were organized for student entries of baked goods, literature and art. As the week went on, more and more people participated in dress-up days with the best showing from the seniors and the faculty. Challenges went on through out the week with the highlight of a tug-o-war game between the students and the faculty. Spirit Week 75 was wrapped up with a talent show displaying some of the very gifted people at BSM (although no one quite knows what the Pattee's were doing). please read and post. . .

The play was the largest and probably most difficult production ever attempted by the famous Benilde-St. Margaret's players. The cast, band and directors worked long, hard hours; and their efforts payed off as their rehearsals, seemingly all too rapidly, turned into a smash opening night show with equally successful succeeding performances. The musical version of Oliver! transforms Dicken's characters and dark London slums into delightfully realistic images and personalities that blend together to unveil the fates which befall the young orphan boy named Oliver. Not until the end is Oliver's dream met—he is safe and free, having come into his inheritance of love. Cast Oliver Twist . . . . . Fag in Mark Ryan The Artful Dodger . .

The band Woodrose” provided music from 9:00 to 12:30 P.M. being interrupted only for the coronation. Excitement peaked as the 1975 Prom Princess Carrie Price, was crowned by the reigning princess JoAnn Battaglia. 1975 Prom Princess Candidates Debbie Battaglia Jody Japs Bridget Mulvehill Lisa Pattee Carrie Price Mary Anne Pyzdrowski 1975 Prom Princess Carrie Price Graduation The first graduating class of Benildc-St. Margaret’s began their rendezvous with destiny at their commencement exercises on May 29. The ceremony was held in St. Olaf's Church, downtown Minneapolis at 7:30 p. m. The 189 seniors were presented by Mrs. Mary Jo Aiken and Mr. Jim Joranger, the senior class moderators. Diplomas were awarded by Co-Principals Father Corwin Collins and Sr. Marie Herbert Seiter.The commencement address was given by the Rev. Richard Dorr; valedictory speeches were given by Pat Moran, Vickie Zimmer and Barb Steichen. As she watched the graduates exit from the church, Sr. Marie Herbert was heard commenting on the first result of the merger, We did it! Credits These credits are for pictures on pages 161-192.
