so ThCYBEACYlJN All ART AWARDS Students of Bennett High School have again proved that they are capable of superior work in the field of art. In the Poster Con- test held by the Rehabilitation Review last March, Bennett received two prizes and three honorable mentions. Marjorie Joslyn was awarded a fourth prize. Margaret Smead, Mary J osselyn and Monica Levin were given honorable mention. The poster by Mar- jorie Joslyn was especially mentioned because of its artistic value and pleasing effect. This poster contest was held in order to stimulate the interest of students in the work being accomplished toward the rehabilita- tion and industrial re-establishment of disabled men and Women. The posters were to be illustrated and lettered so as to spread information on this subject and to advertise a conference which will be held in the near future to further this great work. Bennett is glad to have been able to aid in this worthwhile cause and is proud to have won recognition through it. -Jeanette C. Wenborne 11095 PG LIBRARY DISPLAYS BEACON EXCHANGES The Exchange Department will place in the Library Beacon Exchanges of interest to students.

Form the habit of spending an enjoyable and profitable period in the Library reading these Exchanges! Continued from page 25 limited to kicking and punting. By this time, it had become an organized game with certain numbers on each side and a definite method of keeping score. Because football is one of the cleanest, most sportsmanlike games in the world, it has become the favorite sport, not only of the schools of Britain, but of America as well. -Norma Walsh 11215 1930

l 1' A PLEA FOR CANDIDATES When the grey skies and chill breezes speak of football, the entire school seems to cry in unison, Back that team! Likewise when drifted snow seems to shout of basketball and hockey, once more are we asked for support. Get out to see the games! We have heard it many times. It is such enthusiasm which wins games. But this enthusiasm, great though it is, is a poor apology for a different feeling, one that is kindred to all that is fine in sport. It is that more or less primitive instinct for achievement. Better than the enthusiasm that grows when the team is on the field is the desire to be on the field with that team. Bennett needs athletes for the future, and the future lies on the shoulders of those who are willing to undergo a tedious period of training. It is worthwhile! Not only get behind that team but be out with that team! -Adelbert Cronk 12223 1929 A NEW STUDENT'S IMPREBSION OF BENNETT Upon entering a new school one forms many opinions. These opinions may change, but as a rule the Grst impression lasts. Although I have attended four other schools, none impressed me as has Bennett. The building itself makes one proud to be enrolled as a student here. But there is something else that stands for more than the edifice. That is the spirit that prevails among the students. The creed, the songs and the cheers all seem to signify the good school spirit. One must admit, however, that these creeds mean little unless used in sincerity. Here at Bennett there is, nevertheless, behind these manifestations of loyalty, a zeal and genuineness that is outstanding and makes the spirit of Bennett High School a potent force, -Gordon F. Nichols 12249 1929
