The long awaited day ha finally arrived. We meet it with mixed emo tions. We are happy to have attained ou graduation, but we relunctantly leave our many friends and teachers. We truly believe that we shall always cherish our four wonderful years here at Benton Consolidated High School. It is with both happiness and sadness that we leave the halls of BCHS for the last time; with happi ness for the many wonderful opportunities we have had and the events we have enjoyed, and with sadness that we shall never be to- gether as a class again. So we say, “Good-bye, BCHS. Thanks for all the privileges that we have enjoyed here.”
