The BENEDICTUM The UBENEDICTATORH Staff About four years ago the high school students of St. Benedict School founded the Benedictator. Today, in spite of many diihculties, we find it one of the best scholastic papers in the city. Much hard work, both on the part of faculty advisors and staff members, was necessary to raise the paper to the standard it now holds. This year, inorder that the staff might not be inferior to that of other years, great care was exercised in making the appointments. As a result, a banner year was experienced. Mary McCarthy was named editor, an office which she ably filled. Margaret Crocker and Williani Eardly were associated with her in the editing of the monthly publication. Six contributing editors, Catharine Henkel, Leo McGlynn, Philip Mulligan, Catherine Tear, Margaret Dionne, and Mary Jean Cheadle, did their share toward the success of the paper. Helen Brady, exchange editor, and George Grix, business manager, completed the staff. The knowledge gained by the members of. the staff will be invaluable, both from the literary standpoint and that of general experience. The BENEDICTUMN The year book, one of the most cherished treasures of a graduating class, is a souvenir of high school days. Having The Benedictumf' the students of St. Benedict are not without the coveted possession. In order to publish a year book, a great deal of time and energy must be expended. The class of 1918, desiring to make theirs one of the best in the history of the school, entered whole- heartedly into the work of publication. First a staff, headed by Mary McCarthy, was chosen. As editor-in-chief, it was her duty to pass on the work of the other members besides doing much writing herself. Gertrude Schneider furnished the artistic talent of the staff. Margaret Crocker, class editor, had charge of activities. The history of the boys' athletic achievements was handled by William Eardly, sport editor, that of the girls, by Gertrude Schneider. Catharine Henkel gave the records of the various organizations and societies. In getting ads, Edward Duffy, advertising manager, George Grix, business manager, and NVilliam Eardly, sport editor, did well, exceeding the goal set in planning the budget. Filling the capacity of circulation manager, Edward Germain gave the annual of 1928 ample publicity. Leah McKinnon, staff photographer, gathered pictures of interest and devoted not a little time to the work which mounting them entailed. Doris Dyer, who typed the material for the annual. deserves recognition for her services as staff typist. Although Veronica Kenney was not a member of the staff, The Bene- dictuml' is greatly indebted to her for printing and design work. Regarding the success of The Benedictumn of I928, we leave the decision entirely to the judgment of our readers. However, we trust that if they are not entirely satished with our earnest efforts they will, at least, offer us encourage- ment for future endeavors. Pugi' Thirty-Ur:
