Their castles-in-the-sky are guaranteed to last a lifetime, for they have been brought down to earth and Construct- ed on the firm foundation of Catholic faith. 5 E95 ur Gas Hes onfffemelzfs 96JiC6LfL'0lZ Every castle has its ruler- ours has the Queen of Heaven. Since this is the Era of Mary, we Wish to express our grati- tucle for the love showered by our Queen on us, her loyal sub- jects. We offer, together with this, our Yearbook, ourselves to our Queen, our Mother, our Best Pal-Marv. I WM-. iii 1,1 -My Y--' b 1 W A 'Z , if , W ,X 1 A Y Vfzz fnvvmw nm I.

Vice President Gian gfisfory Dreams, though of a gossamer quality, are not woven in a day, a week, a month, nor a year, their completion marks a series of events and of persons so closely knit as to form one complete picture. We seniors now take time to review our handiwork be- fore we lay aside forever the looms on which we wove the tapestries of our high school lives. Drawing aside the curtain of forgetfull- ness of four years, we again stand as seventy freshmen, enduring initiation, participating in the school activities, especially our own Christmas program, and our skating party. Stone by stone our dream castles rise as we pass from our first year in high school to become sophomores. The chance for turn- about presents itself in the initiation of the new freshmen, thus we renounce the baby- hood period of high school life. Our firsts include our initial entrance into the realm of Shakespeare, as we present excerpts from the Merchant of Venicef' and our first dance, The Cupid Hop held at Hotel Henry. With half our stay at St. Benedict's com- pleted, the days and months speed in rapid flight until we find ourselves juniors. This year found us truly young in heart. Carry- ing out this theme of joyousness we produced Magnolia, a flower whose fragrance will never be lost. The Stardust Ball marked another milestone on our road to maturity. Our souvenir box is almost empty. But as we look forward to the future we are ready to bring' our long-awaited dreams to fruita- tion, due to the wealth of preparation accu- mulated at St. Benedict's. And wistfully look- ing back we say Thank you to everyone who helped us gather these lovely memories to remember forever. Now begins the port- rayal of the adults we have fashioned our- selves. 12 eavenly ueen DOROTHY LINK Bunny ST.

Everyone at some time withdraws from the real to find comfort in nebulous realms. Thus it was with our teachers, the Sisters of St. Benedict's. For many years they had been planning and hop- ing, dreaming and praying for the day when their new school, to advance the cause of Catholic education, would stand in St. Joseph's park. Through diligence and hard work this dream castle has commenced to become a down-to-earth one. On September 17, 1947, Mother Gertrude helped to break the ground. The work of construction had begun. To aid us in our attempt at earthly castle building for heavenly purposes, the Blessed Mother helped us celebrate the feast of her Assumption into heaven by graciously permitting the corner- stone laying on August 15, 1948. This milestone, a compliment of North Catholic to further the ideals of Catholic education, will be the fruit of many sacrifices of our Sisters, the Ben- edictines of Mount St. Mary. Dedication of the new academy marked a dream becoming a reality. Pray- ers had already laid an impregnable foundation for our blue-printed- dreams. W--1--Y Planning plus elbow grease bring St. Benc-dict's Academy nearer to com- pletion. Our dream castle is fast becoming u reality. ii- lk -e l ill: .

Don- fb gm men Castle building is similar to playing with blocks-we must have a firm foundation lest all our dreams come tumb- ling down. Thus here at St. Benedict's we '6Freshies were quite eager to make a good beginning. Our sisters, the sophs, were very obliging at initiation in the matter of introducing us to school customs. One hundred sixty fright- ened, terrified, little girls suddenly were transformed into a working unit of St. Benedict's Academy. Together we moved steadily forward until now, as we approach the Sophomore year, we are confident that we, with the help of our teachers, have constructed strong foundations upon which to fashion our castles-in-the-sky. Tucked away and perched on the top floor, with a happy and carefree outlook on life, the one hundred and sixty freshies forged ahead with their Catholic edu- cation in a typical Benedictine atmosphere of learning.

The members of the staff, piloted by Virginia Brady, were aided in the choice and development of this theme by their enthusiasm over the new Academy building. The material help of the underclassmen through their solicit- ing of patrons, both personal and busi- ness, guaranteed the success of the 449 Benedictaf' and reduced the financial worries of the big undertaking. The various branches of the staf, literary, business, typing and art, joined forces under the sponsorship of Sister M. Louise. The generous help of Mr. Don Young, and the excellent photo- graphy done by Fred Echert of Strem Studios and Mr. Herrman of the Pitts- burg Press, were no small factors in contributing to the general success of the work. After weeks of writing, planning, and worrying, the members of the staff file elzedicfa Record Book of Our Endeavors Benedicta Editor, V. Brady were prepared to pass under the mys- terious yet triumphant arch of Year- book production. They had emerged vic- toriously from the hard struggle of cropping, bleeding and flushing-the task of publishing the 1949 Benedicta was finished. Here was the record book of high school memories dear to the heart of every senior. Following a pe- riod of anxious waiting, the finished product, a dream come true, arrived from the printers and was placed into the hands of the girls. As the years pass on, the graduates can reminisce their happiest days . . . their high school days . . . as they study the pictures-oral review-of their re- ligious and social activities, as preser- ved for them in their memory book. Happy - faced, shiny - eyed teenagers' friends and classmates will pass in re- view as sweet reminiscences awaken re- collections of four memorable years spent at St. Benedict Academy.

Democracy in Action As we build our castles-in-the-sky We enthrone Mary in our hearts as Queen of our heart-castles. Every castle must have courtiers to carry out the decrees of its ruler. The members of the Student Council perform this func- tion of cementing friendly relations be- tween the faculty and students in the concrete castle of school-life. Through all the Council's many projects, includ- ing the organization of Hall Guards to maintain silence in the hallsg the pomp and ceremony of Courtesy Week to pro- mote graciousness among the girlsg the success of the Student Council dance, The Frozen Frolic, and all the other activities of the Council, the Council members transform the discord of con- fusion into the harmony of co-operation.

These girls were selected by the faculty in recognition of their fine work throughout their high school career. On Tuesday, March 29th, Virginia Brady and Lorraine Bronner represen- ted the Saint Benedict's Chapter in the sixth annual competition of the Nation- al Honor Society's nationwide scholar- ship examination. The test was taken under the supervision of Sister M. Per- petua, O. S. B., monitor of the S. B. A. group. All nine girls thus honored, as Well as all the Academy girls, are expected to make their mark in this life as good citizens of the world, and in the next as loving subjects of God. +1 EDITORS OF THE BENITA D.

Each year the combined efforts of the Benita staff go into the publishing of a bigger and better pub- lication. This year has been no excep- tion. 11 'ls We Q 4K e 'W MGIFTED WITH THE POWER OF EXPRESSING KNUWLEDGEW The staff of twenty members and occasional contributors has succeeded in aiding to the popularity of the Benita. With the second issue, a five-column set-up was introduced with additional pictures depicting the activities of the student body, and the accent on reli- gious and social obligations. Front page flashes caught the eye, while the edit- orial section provided food for thought. Humor was Well supplied with the Snoopy's Snooping and Dusk and Dawn columns. Basketball, a new item in the extra curricular activities, was given special stress in efforts to better acquaint the student body With the achievements of our team. The staff contributes its literary success to Sister Louise, without Whose supervision and guidance the publica- tion would not have been the success it was. BENITA STAFF STANDING: M. G.

Knights of the Pen . Membership in the Quill and Scroll is the high ambition of every young journalist on the staffs of school pub- lications. The prerequisites of this mem- bership are demanding, require concen- tration and personal ingenuity in capab- ly organizing the news and business functions of high school publications. But crowded schedules, long hours, and tragic moments-all the trials and tribulations involved in editing a news- paper or an annual are worth while. The compensation? The proud posses- sion of beautiful membership honor pins and merit cards of admissions into the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. Another big reward is the anticipating of winning the scholastic awards, All-Catholic, Quill and Scroll Honors, and t'All- Americanf' A real feeling of success and achievement for the stais of the Ben- ita and the Benedicta will come, not only in seeing the glad expressions on the faces of St. Benedict's students, but also in obtaining all the possible jour- nalistic honors for Saint Benedict's Academy. Because nineteen members had shown themselves unusually capable in their particular positions on the Aca- demy's publications staffs, they were formally inducted by Reverend Father Wiesmann into the Saint Benedictis chapter of the Quill and Scroll at a very inspiring, all- school Assembly, Feb- ruary 25. At this ceremony, the nineteen young journalists were presented with the membership pins and cards of ad- mission. The staff members wish to acknow- ledge another fine activity of the Quill and Scroll Society, the critical service it renders school newspapers for a very small remittance fee. There is always a feeling of satisfaction in knowing how one's journalistic eforts rank among those of thousands of other budding writers. HISTORY HONOR SOCIETY STANDING: V. Brady, P. Good, M.

Social events of the past year in- cluded a Get Acquaintedu Dance at the Hotel Henry, a luncheon at the Schenley Hotel, a lecture at Carnegie Music Hall, and a contest which provided interesting competition among the various chapters. Last, but not least, the society spon- sored its annual tour to a historic spot in Pennsylvania.

FAITH IS THE BEST ARMOR Guiding a group of youngsters along the pathways of sanctity is a very arduous, but praiseworthy task. We young girls, whose simplicity exempli- fies the intensity of our devotion, must still be given prudent advice as to how best to serve God. Our religion courses do not dwell primarily on the fundamen- tals, for these have been well-learned in our Catholic grade-schools. We now learn to apply the principles of virtue to the problems experienced daily. As our souls advance in the knowledge and love of God, due to the Academy's at- mosphere permeated with His love for us, we truly appreciate that our life's only mistake would be in not becoming a saint. isfbzquiske L5LZi0I , Reverend Bernard Kaelin, Abbot Primate, representative head of the ,A Af l mi- ff ,.,, If 1 I , ,ZZ i A l me ' ll e ef A small segment of Hour' nuns at the Dedication Ceremony ,CJ-Zifk as 6126 eff rmor OL11' Chapel, the citadel of Cl11'iSt'S abiding p1'8SGTlCG ln.

Reverend Heribert Thiel, O. S. B., Sisters' chaplain, Reverend Ber- nard Kaelin, and Reverend Charles Wiesmann, chaplain of the Aca- demy. SENIORS LEAVE CHAPEL AFTER MORNING SERVICES OW 0 6 OV6 WEE Elizabeth Barrett Browning Wrote a lovely poem in which she fondly asked, How do I love thee? Let me count the Ways. We shall now ask ourselves How do We, here at St. Benedict's love Jesus ? Let us count the Ways. ' We love Him in our studies, in our tears, smiles, hopes, and fears. We love Him While We sing and While We dance, in our classrooms and in our homes. We love Him everywhere, in everything, and in everyone. But most of all We love Him, our Jesus, because He loves us. ! GRADUATES IN PRAYER L. J. Gaffney, N. L. Svoboda, R. Horne. GRADUATES COMING FROM CHAPEL D. Srsic, S. Murphy, N.
