Dedication ,Ex To our Benedictine Sisters, whose efforts have immeasurably furthered the spread of His kingdom, the graduates of l956 gratefully dedicate this yearbook. It. is a culmination of our efforts to prove all of their prayers and labors in our portion of His vineyard well requited. Imbued with the ideals of their Benedictine inheritance, they have courageously walked in the light of virtue and sought indefatigably to integrate these with our own purpose in each respective state of life. We would likewise assure them decision to continue their transforming processes in our behalf Close beside them, in their following the precepts ofthe Master we would pursue their same traditions. Of their spirit which over flows into the veins of our lives, and of the glory which crowns through this symbol of our acknowledgment, of our determined their centennial of achievement, we humbly beg a share. And now, at the termination of a century's labor, we would offer with them the ripened fruit at His feet, for their Ora et Labora has yielded a great harvest the seeds of which, dying, will not remain alone. They will grow and multiply until, harmoniously unified, we all arrive at the selfsame ultimate goal- That in all things God may be glorihedf' 7 The Guiding Influence of the 19 6 Graduate Reverend Mother M.

A -'Q-G Xl Having recognized Re- ligion as the very source of our every thought, conversation, and activity, we endeavor to materialize that recognition by infiltrating with solid spirituality our school, social, and sport lite. Striving earnestly to perfect the gitts acquired at Bap- tism, each girl adheres willingly to her daily calisthenics in religion. Beginning with a survey ot Church History and including the practical use of our Faith in basic apolo- getics, our religion course is so shaped as to envelop our entire lite-home, school, and play and thus to successfully restore all things in Christ. Effective Motives Promote Student Welfare. Father Clair helps Nancy Breece solve her problems. Seniors enioy a brief respite between classes with Father Clair. The education of the Whole Man is not completed until the skills ot scholastic lite have been instilled into the individual's very character. These, then, become correlated with healthy qualities of mind and soul to produce a realistic and meaningful attitude toward the complexities of life. Such training is an essential segment of SBA lite with Father Clair in charge of the guidance courses-both private and chorus. Motivated by resignation to the intel- lect and obedience to the will, each of us, through adequate spiritual guidance, learns to answer the pleas ot conscience. Freshmen imbibe Father's words of advice. , Effective, Character-Molding Practice in the Art of Language. Journalists scan exchange papers. Up!

Connie Draheim emphatically proves her point in senior English debate. 52 Visitors in Spain, France, and Rome. Saint Benedict Academy is daily transformed into a miniature Europe as the students participate in Latin, French, and Spanish classes. Each is distinct in its particular national flavor to produce the wonderment and enchantment which accompany an authentic visit to a distant country. Our fellow students assume roles ot the French Hmademoi- selle, Spanish senorita, and Roman goddess in their ventures into foreign soil where they are vicariously ac- quainted with and are taught to ap- preciate their particular cultures and customs. N Second year Latin students spend A Day in Old Rome, Tres bien! approves Sister Mary Louis of her French group. A Spanish student recounts to Miss Hilinski and her class- mates her experiences in a vicarious iourney to the Iber- ian Peninsula. 53 Paging . . . Knowledge and Adventure Mary F. Spinks assists Sister Louis as library aide. Reading nooks make for comfy cramming! An enrapturing realm of silence in the library is intruded only by the shuffle of busy feet, the flutter of pages, or an occas- ional sigh of arduous toil. Each SBA student realizes the benefit de- rived from the self-acquisition of knowledge, and therefore exerts every effort to employ the modern facilities of the spacious school library. Its shelves contain numerous volumes of various types, which compensate for every individual specification. Books related to special- ized fields of study and also those of an entertaining nature are made available to requite the wants of every personality. Reference work is facilitated with modern equipment. Look. . .and you will surely find! 54 Janice Madden prounounces her prize-winning declaration, l am Democracy.

To produce fully round- ed individuals, more than a formal education is essential. SBA polishes its girls by opening to them the doors of culture through the fine arts. Appreciation courses in music and art are the first available. lf the student finds she is especially attracted or adapted to one of these, she may continue formal lessons in either. Photography and a well-planned course in painting are also offered. These, too, tend to broaden the girls' horizons and provide a medium through which they may express their artistic abil- ities and talents. Accomplishments in any of the arts gives one a feel- ing of satisfaction and completion. With this in our souls we can better understand what Robert Browning meant when he said, God's in His Heaven, All's right with the world. What in the Past Has Influenced Our Present Dinosaurs to dynamics! Our so- cial studies' program treats tanta- lizingly ot all ot these in its courses in World History, American History, National Problems, and Economic Geography.

Their fitting and interesting apperceptive bases will help us to remember long their lessons on love ot God and neighbor. Our spiritual Fathers bade us use these laving days to conduct honest appraisals and improvements of our virtues, with stress on a humble attitude toward superiors, that it may be well with thee and thou might live long upon the earth.

Accompanying the initial weeks ot studies, the Student Coun- cil undertakes its duties ot the com- ing year with installation of mem- bers. Seeds of loyalty, implanted by the Words ot Mother Sylvester, burst forth with the acceptance of duty and honor. 3. October 3 found every senior anxiously awaiting the gold e n hour when she would receive her Class Ring. That hour came, and from the maternal hand of Mother Sylvester each received her ring with its golden durability reflect- ing the persevering strength ot a Catholic education. l Democracy reigned as Old Glory was raised and unfurled its colors upon SBA. Recitation of the allegiance to the flag and singing of the National Anthem climaxed the program with Mayor Arthur Gardner as guest speaker. 2 An annual event at SBA inspir- ing a spirit of preparation for Christmas is the Advent Wreath Ceremony. Voices chanted softly as Nancy Martin ignited the flame of hope that wavers unfailingly in the hearts of expectant SB-A'ers. 3 Combined physical activity and tumbling antics highlighted the u- nique gym assembly. Calling to point the importance of accurate timing and physical coordination, the girls, led by student instructor Joan Rush, displayed several ex- ercises involving the art of calis- thentics. 4 Mr. Reginald Goode starred in the presentation of various Shake- spearean selections from Mac- beth, Merchant of Venice, and Julius Caesar. He was aided by Marge McDonnell and Carl Rizzo to produce an assembly program that satiated the literary tastes of the student body. 5 Installation of members to the Quill and Scroll, the Candle- light Ceremony, and an impressive talk on the value of the Catholic Press by Father Caldwell were main points of interest on the pro- gram presented by the Benedic- tum staff. 6 Mansions, a three act play by Therese Littel, highlighted the Vocation Assembly presented on March 22. Featuring a doting mother, four lovely daughters, a domineering aunt, and a meddle- some neighbor, the play bordered on the humorous yet touched the spiritual. A llll I Illlll SBA soclmwlir T Music, dancing, refreshments and games composed the agenda for the SBA Get- Acauainted Party. The student council, which serv- ed as host, organized the festive evening. Meeting new friends and greeting the old added the dash of home, an SBA quality. The party's success was prounouced in the following days as friendly smiles were exchanged throughout the halls. GET ACQUAINTED PARTY INITIATION OCT 26 SENIOR PARTY THEATER PARTY SEPT I5 OCT.

Under the eyes of murky witches, friendship bubbled beneath the golden moon of Halloween. Scarecrows, ghosts, and moonlight serenades amused the halloweeners while the goblins slowly slipped into the past with the clinching of each act. 78 Gaiety, aroused by the yuletide spirit, pervaded the auditorium on the afternoon of our Christmas party. A speck of entertainment provid- ed by the Speech Club, a dash of refreshment, and joy in boundless measure heightened the already festive mood of the day. C-Jolly, girls, is this what vve have to go through to- be labled SBA girls? Walls familiar to this were heard in every nook and cranny of Camp Glinodo as the annual initiation was conducted by the noble sophomores for the inferior freshmen. ,..,J.L.:.. 74 , ipaq, An appreciative SBA reminisced from The Old Mill Stream, through the Charleston and on to today's top hit tunes with the iuniors at their Teen Can- ten.

Mayor Gardner inspired the stud- ent body with a vigorous patriotic zeal in a convincing discussion on the practical symbolism of our American flag. We, in our turn, blended into the program with a rendition ot the National Anthem while our Stars and Stripes maies- tically lifted to reign supreme in the freedom of the blue heavens.

The group, composed largely of Benedictine mothers and friends, have played a mother's role through many years of living their part of the Ora et Laboraf' Their daughters frequently find proof of their devotion-be it in novel draw drapes for the recep- tion rooms, in conducting retreats for their spiritual benefit, or, and we repeat, in anything for the community.
