Bcnildus Club members at a daily prayer session. “All other extra-curricular clubs have the development of the talents of the members as one of their chief objectives. This vocation club differs in that it has as its chief objective the will of God. It calls for unselfishness on the part of the members in that they arc expending themselves in behalf of the entire student body.” — Bcnildus Club Constitution. Under the supervision of Brother Dominic, the Blessed Bcnildus Vocation Club has become reinstated at DE. A part of the Archconfratcrnity of the Divine Child, this club promotes priestly vocations primarily through prayer. Also, as part of its program, the Bcnildus Club is organizing a vocation pamphlet rack to make available to students information concerning the various religious orders. The members meet during the first five minutes of the Senior lunch period in the Brothers’ chapel to recite a decade of the rosary. All seniors are invited. Organizational meetings are held once a month. Speakers are invited to these meetings to present and discuss various topics consistent with the club’s goals. Many worthwhile ideas and projects have developed from these meetings. The Bcnildus Club officers, Louis Grams, Charles Brambilla, Robert Abdo, and David Uhlcr, head the group of about thirty members. It is hoped that their efforts, together with the continuous support of Brother Dominic, will establish the Benildus Club as a worthwhile facet of Dc La Salle life. 25

The purpose of the Senate is to shift some responsibility from the teachers to the students, thereby relieving the faculty of unnecessary burdens and bringing the idea of school government closer to the students. Consequently, since all advisories are represented, the entire class is familiarized with the senate’s plans. The senate is responsible for and controls the activities of the Senior class. It organizes dances, homecoming festivities, “Sno-Dazc,” various sporting events, and slogan and poster contests. But more important, the Senate sets the tone of the school. It is behind the student body one-hundred percent, and works its hardest to make the class and the school what it should be. Senior Class Officers, L. to R. — Loren Lynch, Business Manager; James Gamble, Secretary; Steve Hedges, 2nd Vice-President: Bill Shimp, President; Bob Abdo, 1st Vice-President; Lenny Jcnks, Treasurer. 24

For years this question has been asked of Brother Oliver. Well, try to imagine a Delta or Islander without pictures of the vari-ious activities. Much as the two staffs hate to admit it, the readers look for the pictures first. Any article, no matter how well written, is given life by a picture. The few Camera Club members strive to supply all necessary prints promptly and cheerfully. The members believe that the experience gained from this activity will prove valuable in later years. Who knows, perhaps Mr. Plctsch started this way. 26 Bob Sorensen developing a picture.
