Their hi story for the first seventeen years was tumultuous, but their faith, their vision and their courage never let them lose sight of why they had come to Newark. Their objectives were summarized at the first meeting of the Board of Trustees of Saint Benedict's Corporation; “The objects of this corporation are divided between the spiritual guidance of souls and the educational training of youth each conducted in conformity with the principles and general discipline of the Roman Catholic Church and in accordance with the disci- plinary statutes of the Order of Saint Benedict, well known throughout the Catholic Church. Into the thriving metropolis of Newark, which had a popula- tion of 105,000 people, was born Saint Benedict's College which opened its doors in the fall of 1868 to a student body of twenty and a faculty of four. The school day was from 8:30 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. with a half hour for lunch and the school year was from the first Tuesday of September to the beginning of July. The curriculum offered to the first students consisted of Classical, Commercial, and Preparatory courses. The Classical course con- sisted of Latin, English grammar, reading, defining, history, geography and penmanship; the Commercial course was composed of law, bookeeping, arithmetic, algebra and history and appealed to those interested in a business education. The Preparatory course was offered to those students who were not advanced enough to undertake the higher studies. Electives in music and drawing were also available to those who wished to avail themselves of the opportunity. Life at Saint Benedict's during these first three years was largely experimental. The school remained in the original frame build- ing in which it had been established until 1871 when it was proposed by the Board of Trustees “either to close Saint Benedict's College altogether or to erect a more suitable and commodious edifice on the site of the old building. Ten days later on July 6th the Vice-President, William Walter, O.S.B., reported to the Rt. Rev. President, Abbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B., the proposal of the Board. This resulted in the Abbot's full consent to erect a new college building suitable for that time. On July 10, 1871 the old frame building was removed and the ground breaking for the new college building was held. The students for the school year of 1871-'72 moved into a house adjacent to the church while the three story building was being erected. The building, which was capable of accommodating 200 students, was completed in the late winter of 1872 and was dedicated on February 2 by Bishop Bayley of New- ark. It now comprises the portion of the monastery which immediately adjoins the present “old school building’. The first annual commencement of Saint Bene- dict's College was held on July 1, 1872 in St. Mary’s Hall. It chiefly consisted of recitations and poems delivered by the graduates along with addresses by the Abbot and prominent businessmen. This first graduating class which consisted of four students was led by J. J. McKeever who captured seven of the prizes which were awarded. Degrees were conferred in the Classical and Commercial divisions, the Commercial graduates receiving the title “Master of Accounts which was recognized by most of the business houses in New Jersey. Following the erection of the new building and the first commencement, the school settled down to a more regular scholastic life, opening in September of each year and closing the following June with commencement. At this time the faculty consisted of seven college trained professors, four priests, and three laymen, who quickly gained recognition in the press for providing inexpensive higher education for the immigrants. During this period, the school’s extracurricular activities began to flourish under the guidance of the energetic priests of the faculty. The most notable of these activities was the “Elocution Class under the direction of Father Charles Reilly, a diocesan priest who was a member of the teaching staff. In the school year of 1874, the class had several public exhibitions the proceeds of which were donated towards the erection of a new assembly hall.

Alphonse Himler, O.S.B., the former President of Saint Vincent's Col- lege of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, became the second Headmaster of Saint Benedict's. The faculty at the time consisted of three priests and three laymen. Father Alphonse's term, however, was short lived for one year later he was removed from the Presidency of the College and assigned to the chair of Theology at Saint Vincent's. On September 23, 1876, Abbot Wimmer appointed Rev. Mellitus Tritz, O.S.B., to the vacant post of Headmaster. The school progressed very steadily for the next three years. In 1879 the first full fledged debating society was formed under the direction of Rev. Aloysius Gorman, O.S.B. This society differed from Father Reilly's “Elocution Class in that it was organized as a forensic league “Чо prepare its mem- bers for public speaking, and to furnish their minds with historical facts and arguments on literary and useful subjects.” A long desired wish of the Benedictines was fulfilled on March 21, 1881 when “Bill Number 345” was passed in the State Legislature of New Jersey.

МоКккуки Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey that the corporation created by the act to which this is supplement shall have and possess the right and power of conferring the usual academic and other degrees granted by any other college in this state. This act legally raised Saint Benedict's to the rank of a college. In June of 1882, Father Walter died as a result of the illness which had forced him to resign his post as the first Headmaster in 1874. In July Father Mellitus developed heart trouble and resigned, mov- ing to Pennsylvania for a rest. He was succeeded by Rev. Frederick Hoesel, O.S.B. In the years of 1882-'83, extensive additions were made to the school and monastery. In that year Abbot Boniface, because of the troublefree operation of the Newark priory, formulated the plans necessary to raise it to the dignity of an abbey. Before this could be done, however, he felt that a larger monastery building should be constructed. He appointed Rev. Gerard Pilz, O.S.B., who was the prior of the Newark community, in charge of con- structing a new building as soon as possible. Father Gerard had the frame house removed and in the five months from December of. 1882 to April of 1883 a three story brick building was erected connecting the school to Saint Mary’s Monastery. On April 16th this new monastery was blessed by Bishop Wigger of Newark. Two months later, Saint Benedict's proper was enlarged by adding a fourth floor and incorpo- rating physics and chemistry departments. Upon completion of these buildings, Abbot Boni- face made a formal petition to Rome asking that the community of Saint Mary's in Newark be raised to the status of an abbey. The reply to this petition came on December 19, 1884 when Pope Leo XIII granted the request in a Papal brief. After receiving this decision, a chapter of monks from all the abbeys east of the Mississippi elected on the second ballot Rev. James Zilliox, O.S.B., the first Abbot of Saint Mary's Abbey. The extensive building program and the status Saint Mary's gained by becoming an Abbey greatly enhanced Saint Benedict's College as a scholastic institution in New Jersey. An evening school was established and the total enrollment came to 126 with 78 day students and 48 evening students. The evening school was short lived for it proved unsuc- cessful and was abandoned after only two years. The commencement of 1885 reflected this increas- ing notoriety by the fact that not only were several city dignitaries present but the Governor of New Jersey was also in attendance. The strain of the heavy burden of duties im- posed upon him caused Abbot James to request permission from Abbot Wimmer to resign after only ten months in office. This request was granted in October and the chapter of monks once again sat in conclave to elect an Abbot. The Rev. Hilary Pfraen- gle, O.S.B. was elected Abbot on November 11, 1886. Abbot Hilary with his ascendancy to the Presidency of Saint Benedict's appointed Rev. Fred- erick Hoesel, O.S.B. to his former post of Vice- President and Director of Saint Benedict's. Two years later failing health cost Saint Benedict's its third administrator when Father Frederick was forced to resign his post. He was succeeded by Rev. Hugo Paff, O.S.B. Although the Preparatory course was originally instituted at Saint Benedict's as a minor portion of the curriculum, it gradually took a larger and larger position. This increasing importance of the Pre- paratory course was necessitated by the large per- centage of students applying for admission who did not have the secondary education which was re- quired for college work. The Preparatory course was ultimately destined to become the only course of studies. In 1888 at a faculty meeting discussing aca- demic standards for the students it was decided that henceforth the standard which would be necessary for graduation should be: “а� average of 90% (at least) in Bookkeeping, Arithmetic, Penmanship and English; and an average of 75% (at least) in History, Geography, Algebra and Geometry.” This standard was followed for several years until the curriculum was again revised. Following the conclusion of the great spurt of activity of the 1880's, Saint Benedict's settled down into a regular schedule while continuing to progress in all fields. In this period around the turn of the century, many of the traditions of Saint Benedict's were established. The program for the commence- ment exercises which was established then is still being followed to a great extent today. In the 1890's the great sports traditions of Saint Benedict's had their humble beginnings. During this decade the Saint Benedict's Athletic Association was formed with the purpose of supporting school teams both for interscholastic and intramural com- petition. The athletic teams were not always the well organized teams they are today but were largely unorganized with no particular coach or a set sched- ule of games. Competitions with other schools were often spontaneously scheduled as a result of a challenge. By 1901 there were several teams, among which were the football, basketball, baseball and track teams, all competing on the Junior and Senior levels. One of the most popular of these activities was the annual Field Day Games which were held for the first time in June of 1901. These games were chiefly composed of track and field events in which competition was restricted to Saint Benedict's students. In April of 1910, 85 8 result of a decision by the Board of Trustees, the final steps towards the dis- continuation of the college program, which had be- come obsolete, were taken. The following year these steps were completed and the entire program was dropped and college level degrees were no longer issued. However, it was not until six years later, in 1917, that the name of the school was changed to Saint Benedict's College Preparatory School. It is interesting to note that the act of 1881 which gives Saint Benedict's the power to grant degrees has never been revoked and is still in effect today. In the years from 1906 to 1910 there were three important facts which must be noted. In 1906 an additional story, which included new science labora- tories was built upon the main College building. The following year a Silver Jubilee was celebrated honor- ing the contributions of Saint Mary's Abbey to the city of Newark in the fields of education and dra- matics. In 1910 Abbot Hilary succumbed to a heart attack. Shortly thereafter the Rt. Rev. Ernest Helm- stetter, O.S.B. was elected Abbot. The first twenty years after the turn of the century saw in Saint Benedict's a surge of literary publications and dramatics. All of the classes in attendance during this period were especially noted for their dramatic ability and the successful theat- rical productions which were staged. The majority of these plays were written by Rt. Rev. Leo Haid, O.S.B. who was a teacher and a skillful amateur playwright of the time , These plays were received very favorably by the critics. A school publication was instituted in 1914. The need for a publication was recognized for some time both for the students to exercise their writing abili- ties and as an information medium to unite the classes of the school. This publication was issued every quarter and hence the name “5%, Benedict's College Quarterly. The quarterly was written and entirely edited by the students and included not only news items covering athletic events and various school activities but also literary articles written by the students. Humor was not forsaken in the publi- cation which contained many quips and personal sayings. The Quarterly gave way to the first yearbook which was published in 1919 and was called the Maroon Telolog . The name “Telolog” was chosen because it is the Greek word meaning “the last word”. One of the main features of the “Теіо- log was a description of the school in the future. One of these articles predicts the Saint Benedict's of the sixties as a large university: “Despite the out- Graduates of St. Benedict's Had to Pass а Rigid Examinatít John A. Derivaux and Raymond 3.

As well as being a great basketball coach, Prof was also а very inter- esting personality. It is a known fact that he kept a live grizzly bear in his cellar and would wrestle with it. He used to amaze his gym class by tossing a shot-put into the air and catching it on the back of his neck. Another one of his tricks was to dribble a basketball with a broomstick and using the broom- stick to hit the ball into the basket. The more recent of the three is Mr. Kasberger, who is still а prominent personality around the school today. “Joe К” as he is called, came to Saint Benedict's in 1930 as a graduate of Oregon State and Columbia University. Also included in his back- ground was a year of football at Notre Dame in 1924, the year of the “Four Horsemen.” With his great ability and knowledge as a coach “Joe” be- came a valuable addition to the coaching staff. The school prospered in the thirties under the direction of Rev. Boniface Reger, O.S.B. who had succeeded Father Cornelius, O.S.B. in 1927. Father Cornelius had retired due to his failing health. Among the activities established in these years was the school band. It was begun in 1931 with the assistance of Father Boniface for the purpose of “adding zest to many of the school activities. especially in the field of sports. Also in 1931 the official sch ool newspaper was instituted and called The Gray Bee”; the name was later changed to The Kayrix” and finally The Benedict News”. “The Gray Bee” provided an opportunity for those who had journalistic talents to develop their abilities since the Quarterly, the former school journal, had been abandoned in 1918.

In its first years the Glee Club performed primarily for the parent sponsored events held at Saint Benedict's. It afforded “а� opportunity for enjoyment of music and the appreciation of art. These early Glee Clubs established a tradition for which the Glee Clubs of today are still famous. On July 9, 1937, Rt. Rev. Ernest Helmstetter, O.S.B. succumbed to a heart attack. Rev. Patrick O'Brien, O.S.B. was then elected Abbot and became President of Saint Benedict's which position he held until 1966. With the forties came the second world war and great changes took place in the school and the country as the nation adjusted to wartime life. Many teachers and former students were called to serve in the ranks of their country, while the students re- maining in Saint Benedict's contributed their share by participating in the school war bond drives. The war was very much a part of the students' lives as evidenced by the frequent appeals in the Benedict News to buy war bonds. In 1943 Father Boniface retired due to ill health and was succeeded by Rev. Gerald Flynn, O.S.B. In the following year Father Gerald was replaced by Rev. Charles Carroll, O.S.B. In 1948 Mr. Cavanaugh who had coached the school's track teams since 1928 retired. The fol- lowing year Rev. Phillip Hoover, O.S.B. was ap- pointed to the post of Headmaster which he held until 1961. Also in that year another of the great coaches, “РгоҒ” Blood, retired. For the next eight years the school continued in a regular routine all the while becoming more and more distinguished in the fields of academics and athletics. The enrollment during these years was approximately seven hundred students while many hundreds of applicants were refused each year. This situation initiated the desire to erect new facilities and with this goal in mind, a fund drive was started in 1957 which proved to be a success. The groundbreaking for the new building was held on February 27, 1958. The new addition was com- pleted early in May of 1959 and dedicated on May 4 by His Excellency, The Most Rev. Thomas A. Boland, Archbishop of Newark. The new facilities were first used for the commencement of the class of '59 and the classrooms were put into use the following year. The 1961-'62 school year saw Rev. Mark Con- froy, O.S.B. succeed Father Phillip as Headmaster. The next major changes of administration came in 1966 when Abbot Patrick because of his inability to fulfill his duties due to ill health resigned in Novem- ber. Shortly afterward, the monks met and elected Rev. Martin Burne, O.S.B., a graduate of Saint Benedict's, Abbot. The following June, Rev. Laur- ence Grassman, O.S.B. succeeded Father Mark as Headmaster and Mr. Kasberger stepped down from his roles as Athletic Director and football coach. These changes bring us to the present day, a day in which Saint Benedict's resembles the school begun in 1868 only in its goals and principles. Now in its hundredth year Saint Benedict's in accordance with its centennial theme, Reflection-Direction, is not only looking back upon a rewarding hundred years but also looking ahead optimistically to a future that appears very promising.

Since 1931, for over a third of the school's history, Joe has been an integral part of life at the Bee Hive. As an outstanding coach, as a moulder of men, as a teacher, as a friend and, above all, as a man, Joe is known to all at the Hive. His laugh, his gruffness, his spirit are an institution at Saint Benedict's. M. Redden M. Laughna R. VanVolkenburgh E. Sabella Not Pictured: J. Davey G. Castellano, Manager B. Jackson P. Landers P. Kardash THEODORE HOWARTH, О.5.В., Director of Athletics i | | | | The Benedict's Honor Society was instituted this year by our Headmaster and Moderator, Father Laurence. Sixty-five seniors and juniors were selected for membership by the Faculty Council. The goal of the society is to encourage excellence in scholarship and growth in personal responsibility. Induction into the society took place at a school assembly; our President, Abbot Martin, and our Headmaster and Moderator, Father Laurence, addressed the student body about the importance of the pursuit of excellence. Michael Waters was elected by the members to be the first president of the Benedict's Honor Society. The President with the Officers and the Executive Council initiated a tutoring program in which underclassmen received help in courses in which they were experiencing difficulties. Also, exemptions from final examinations in courses where а 90 average is maintained and the right to four “си” per semester for each course were introduced for members of the Honor Society.
