He played his own right end. Though Freddie is a trifle small Regarding his physique. No one could scans- deny him this. Mis ways are quite unique. Lloyd is just that quiet kind Whose natures never vary; It always can Ik- said of him. He never was contrary. It is not strange with all the range With which our Sing can sing That even he should chance to lie Si singulnr a thing.

£ rui(ir (Clans Hifltnrg -Olantiiuirft all four years through. Wc lost two from our Junior rank— 'Zckicl ami Nancy, and wc thank our lucky stars that we gained two to fill these places, ns they well do. Our Senior lioy have done their part in all athletics from start to finish: in football, track and basketball they’ve not held back but pitched right in and done their share at showing others that Benton's there.” We have had parties quite a few and had good times as we always do. To one we could each invite a guest, presumably some one we liked best: to another we asked some Junior girls for with only our Lola and two Pearls. Mary. Vinita and Verne. I vow we haven't enough girls anyhow. The Junior-Senior reception was grand and the Sophomores also look a hand and gave us a Happy bluebird party for which our thanks to them are hearty. Between good times we’ve studied some (wc didn't want to he called dumb) and yet we've loved our High School joys like ollier High School girls and boys. And now as we leave this dear old place regret will show on each Senior face and in after years whatever our ways, we'll cherish our memories of High Sehool days. 18
