Hartwell, Superintendent of Buffalo Public Schools, has made an indelible mark upon the annals of the educational work of this city. He immediately plunged into the work of enlarging the curricula of the schools, opening new lines of study, and seeing that clean, orderly conditions werc available for the mental and physical development of the students. He has been in charge of the financing and construction of nearly Hfty school buildings, involving approximately thirty millions of dollars. The schools, under his direction, hold a coveted place in educational honors. Because of his extensive teaching experience, Superintendent Hartwell can keenly understand the problems confronting teachers and continually urges favorable legislation to improve their status. The Buffalo Plan of teacher training inspired by him has met with wide approval in the leading cities of the country. He was elected President of the National Department of Superintendence in 1918 and for three years was a member of the Executive Committee of the State Teachers' Association, of which he was President last year. A few years ago, the New York State College for Teachers conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Pedagogy. The Beacon is pleased to publish the picture of the superintendent under whom Bennett High School was planned and built, and operated successfully for four years. Howard E.

' ' CHARLES ELBERT RHODES Mr. Rhodes Valedictory to the Class of 1929 And so you have completed your four years' course and are about to be g1'aduated. I congratulate you. You have again proved the validity of the law of the survival of the ittest. I congratulate you because you have survived, and because you are the first school generation at Bennett High School, and because you are the largest class ever to be graduated from any Buffalo high school at one time. These commencement times make us all very thoughtful, as they should. It would be most interesting to try to read your horoscope and learn what your futures, individually, are going to be. I am going to ask you to do your own thinking about your futures and to base your thinking upon what you have already accomplished. What you have accomplished, the habits you have formed, the attitudes you have acquired, and the characters you have developed-all these-will determine what your futures will be. Of course, new influences will enter your lives, new conditions will color your environments, new experiences will become your teachers. Some of the lessons they impart will be tragic. Yet, what you are now, consciously and unconsciously, constitutes the essential you, the you that is going to master your lives, if you have already caught the secrets of mastery here at school. If I cannot tell what you will be, I can express my sincearest hopes for you. May you all find yourselves very soon, for the finding comes harder as the years advance, may your years at Bennett make the rest of your lives richer in the things that really ccunt, in those qualities which are enduring, which enable you to take charge of your own lives wisely and well, may you accept the truth that life must be conceived as growth, as continuous progress toward ever advancing ideals. May you always scorn mediocrity and the too easy satisfactions which grow out of it. May you ,remember that the best things cost most and that cheap things are for the most part worthless. The soul is dead that sleepethf' Keep vitally alive in your spirits, prove your worth by your ways of living. Let each forward step be taken with growing assurance, knowing that you are on the way to something great. Learn to function so fully that you are always preparing for better things in larger spheres. Keep growing. Keep learning. Let courage be yours to meet all occasions. Find your highest joy in keeping your ideals alive and in keeping young in spirit. Live. Really live. So live as to show how fine a thing life may be. Keep moving. But remember that progress must sometimes be slow. It is only stopping that should discourage you. Keep moving even though your pace slackens and the climbing is hard. Remember that We build the ladder by which we rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to its summit round by round. Farewell, Class of 1929. And may God bless you one and all.

Harris, Historian Once more the sands of time have emptied themselves into the lower chamber of our hour glass and we have come to the end of our high school careers. The portals of the past are swinging open and we shall pause for a brief space to look down the years which have passed since first we entered Bennett. , On that bright September morn in 1925, when we began our Freshman year, there were realized the hopes of many citizens, who had eagerly awaited the erection of our magnificent building, and had had the responsibility of bringing to pass the dreams that had made our school possible. We are the first class to have received a full four years' training in Bennett and there' fore the first real test of the success of her aims and ideals. Have we achieved our task? The size of the Class of '29, the largest in the history of our Alma Mater, is sufficient proof that we have succeeded, for, if so many have accomf plished what was necessary to obtain a diploma, truly we have not failed our trust. But let us look through the mists of the past at accomplishments other than scholastic attainments. Our lirst year was spent in the more or less uneventful life of a freshman, in becoming accustomed to our new environf ment and laying the foundations of future years. But in that group of young people, fresh from grammar schools, were the potential actors. athletes, scholars, and authors who were to carry Bennett to noble heights and place her among the foremost schools of the country. In September, 1926, we returned to our duties as Sophomores, one step nearer our goal. The girls entered room 123, in charge of Miss Wood, and the boys were placed under Miss McNerny in 124. The second year is perhaps the one in which the majority of high school students really begin to take active part in the extrafcurricular activities which add greatly to the enjoyment of high school life. And so it was with us. During this year we began to take our places on the athletic and debating squads, in the dramatic and literary activities, and to prepare for the work in which we were to excel, thereby bringing honor to our school and to our predecessors who had established those branches of activity. At the completion of that year, half of our high school course had been accomplished. The following autumn, we returned again to begin what is believed by some to be the happiest year in high school life, the Junior year. Miss Brettle, in charge of 223 and its annexes, welcomed the girls and Miss Patterson took her boys into 224. Now members of the junior class were to be found in all the various branches of scholastic activity, gleaning new honors. We were represented on the hockey team which won the first cup for Bennett, on the debate team which tied with Lafayette for the city championship, and in the The Bennett Beacon I 7 dramatic work which had well established its reputation of being the city's premier in that art. Toward the end of the winter of 1928, the Junior class was organized and Tom O'Neil was elected president, Jane Miller, vice- presidentg Lorna Knibb, secretary, and Albert Cook, treasurer. Ken Nield and Marie Mengle were chosen marshals and the class began its work. Near the end of April, Arbor Day and Junior Day were celebrated simultaneously. Junior Officers' took charge of an impressive assembly and later planted an ivy in front of the building. The same evening, the Junior Prom was held in the gvm where the Seniors were the guests of the Juniors. No one wished to see that year close, for it had been our happiest, our most successful. But we had to go on. Last September, we returned to Bennett for the last time. Now we were to attain our highest achievements and complete our victories. Mrs. Wilkinson, in 207, was to guide the girls through their final year, and Miss Elliott, in 206, the boys. To both of these we extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for their indispensable services. We quickly began con- scientious efforts in our studies to insure success in the final reckoning. But other activities have not been neglected. The success of our athletics. dramatic, and literary clubs bears testimony to the fact that we have attained the standards set for ourselves in previous years, standards which will remain a goal for succeeding clafses. Early in the spring the Class of '29 was organ' ized and at the first meeting, John Galvin was elected President. Jane Miller was chosen to serve as VicefPresident, Lorna Knibb as Secretary, and Tom O'Neil as Treasurer. At subsequent meetings the following officers were elected: Jean Calkins, Girls' Marshalg George Mason, Boys' Marshal, John Hagmann, Prophetg and Paul Harris, Historian. Shortlv after this, the cab- inet chose Eleanor Poppenberg, Poetg Doris Miller, Valedictoriang and Henry Work, Salutatorian. These officers immediately undertook their duties in this class, a class not only the largest in the history of any Buffalo High School, but also the most outstanding. To establish a fund, a Senior Dance was given in the gym on April 19th. This proved to be one of the most entertaining and novel social functions in Bennett's history. On the evening of May 27th, the Senior Reception, sponsored by the teachers, took place in the gym and was attended by a large number of students and their parents. Now, after having success- fully passed our final examinations, we meet here for the last time as a class, We have established noble traditions and faithfully followed our Bennett Creed which we have immortalized in bronze in the front corridor as our parting gift to the school, so that it may inspire other classes to even greater honors than we have received. But come, we have tarried too long gazing backward, the portals are closing, the future calls and we must go. So now we shall invert our hour glass and once again the sands begin to flow. The Bennett Beacon THE CRUSADE OF 1929 by Eleanor M. Poppenberg, Class Poet Oh honored classmates here in state convened, My humble greetings to you one and all. Last night a panorama bold was screened Before my eyes, which now I shall ,recall- Portentous scenes which shall our lot befall. Equipped for trials which mark their destiny, On Life's highway behold an army small, Their banner borne aloft that all may see Upon its folds inscribedf The best is yet to he. Crusaders they! And each has made his vow, For romance lives forever in the heart. Each youth desires to enter battle now. But ere a soldier makes his final start, Oh let him ponder on the tragic part That woeful band of artless children played, Who, guideless and untutored, did depart. For urged by counsel base, bereft of aid, In Satan's maw they fell! Oh hapless young brigade. But timely warned, this fearless Bennett force Now wisely profit by that luckless fate. They heed both sage advice and wise discourse. The pow'r that knowledge gives, they cultivate, While noble lives they strive to emulate. ' No folly or excess their health impair, In mind and deed they're ever temperate. Alert and keen, of evil they beware, For hydrafheaded Vice shall not this band ensnare. Come Youth! Fill up the broken ranks, calls Life. So forth they march, this army of today. Prepared to wage the never ending strife. A few to distant lands must sail away, The rest at home contend in constant fray. At justice' bar they plead for Truth and Right, And sternly teach the lawless to obey. With skill they tend the sick both night and day. With Woe, and Pain, and Death, they wage a ceaseless fight. So on they tramp through many a coming year. A battle here, a battle there is fought, 'Though oft alone, no friendly voice to cheer. Some hero's tracks to tread, each one has sought, Some soul to each has inspiration brought. May others now their footsteps likewise see, To guide the helpless, is their Godly thought. as IK as A final call-from earthly tasks he's free,- Each dying soldier breathes,- The best is yet to be.

Oh, at last! Y'know, I've had the awfullest time trying to get you, really the operator was the freshest thing! And, Kate, her voice sounded so much like that of Audrey Henderson that I really think it was she. What? You did! Never! Aileen Brennan in a night club-singing Blues? And she was such a nice girl, too! Who? Dan Grossman? Yes, I remember him-a girls' orchestra composed of Prisf cilla Bernhard, Dorothy Epke, Marian Andrews, Elvera Tauffner, and Ruth Hudson? Well, Dan certainly is doing Hne, isn't he? Oh, and, Kate, do you know that Roland Georger has just opened Dave Barrows' new rooffgarden with a dance act that is bringing down the house? I hear that Bill Corse did a poor construction job when he built it. Don Dobbins and his Synchronized! Sextet of Art Lewis, Hazel Fisher, Harry Nixon, Jacqueline McEvoy, Clare Dimick, and Alva Tanner, are also starred on the bill, crooning Dorothy Scheidt's most recent compositions. Among the white lights I saw Lattimer Ford, the Eggertsville Fire Chief, accompanying Lois Dorr, the Mayoress of Snyder, N. Y., Bob Allyn, the clothing model from Heinklan's Suits, Professor Roma Stein, just back from searching the ocean bed for question marks, The Honorable Joseph West, Admiral in the Semite Navy, Etta Wilson, drum major of the Riverside Saxophone Band, Robert Mason, the interior decorator of the Aquarium, Marie Mengle, author of lAdvice to the Glovewom, and Elmer Templeton, Olympic Penthalon VJ1flnef. But the really great surprise of the evening was the appearance of the Babe Puls .Synthetic Ballet Girls. They were great! There was Wanda Bieniecka as First Left Foot, David Brewer as Second Left Foot, Wendell Ames as Duck Foot, Mary Dudley as Flying Stub Toe, George Kinney as call boy, and Betty Vitol as Catcher. They worked beautifully together, too. Irving certainly has done well since he bought that comb. Who, Kate? Oh, yes, wasn't that deeflicious! I read about it in Ray Greene's tabloid, The Drippy Daily. Imagine! Florence Butler deciding to join the Sadly Solemn Spinsters' Society! What an unexpected blow! Poor Paul Kent! I hear that he has retired to his studio and hides his grief design- ing red hats for firemen, Merrill Cadwell, clowns, Nelson Adams, William Rowe, and Sad Sam Snitzer. Sam has just bought out Betty Parke's Barber Shop for Bald Headed People and is employing Virginia Nieman, Betty Reis, 66 The Bennett Beacon Ora Michel, La Vancia Lyons, Eleanor Poppenberg, Marietta Zoller, and ,Keane Armstrong as chief shearers, to entice the male sex to come in and get trimmed. Uhfhuh. Yes. No. I-just a moment, Kate, the Television man is here to Hx our machine. Wait, now! Hello! That was Lew 'Umphrey, Kate, and he told me so much about the old crowd! He said that Art Hawkins, Andy Gilfillan, Hank Work, Lyle Brunner, and Charles Guyette have all gone to Brazil to find a solution to the question, What's the matter with the last drop of Maxwell House Coffee? What! Dorothy Davis, Emma Erickson, Elsie Miller, Laverna San- fleet, and Bertha Swartz have joined the army? As aviation pilots? How uplifting! The machine is Hxed now, Kate, and I see-Why, it's john Galvin! He has a bottle in his hand,-no, it's a gavel and'he is accepting the national presidency of the I. O. U. Qlndependent Order of Usurpersj for the thirty' third time! Now he is pinning a medal on Art Graham, billionaire oil man, for usurping Lorna Knibb's place in the 'talkiesf His salesmanship talk won for him, but due only to the absence of Elmer Bowes, who was competing in a continuousftalking contest, which he won with a non-stop record of two months! He received a goldfplated shovel. Catherine Alt, Adele Bobys, Harriet Metcalfe, and Ethel Wagner also talked. What was that, Kate? You saw the Paul Harris' production, Shakes' peare in a Restaurant, with Jimmy Cullen as Othello, Virginia Dorst as Drestf inafKimona, Ray Johnston as Three-Bal, Stan Fisher as Minusfafhair, Bill Gamble as Laughsfaflot, Paul Rich as Balonio, Ralph Dillingham as Caliban, Gladys Carle as Portion, Metta Morris as Veranda, Menno Hartmans as Fourinhand, and Dick Ueblacker as Bring Beer? I wanted to see that but jim insisted upon seeing the Fillies. We made up a party together with Norm Ockerman, the big berry man, Jack Kieffer, the rifle magnate, who is quite a hot shot, Virginia Mayer, who fiddled about all during the show, Jean Calkins, the Wall Street ace, who is handling President Galvin s pref ferred stock, Dick Goetz, dealer in second hand Fords and other junk, and the partners, Cronk, Kinsella and Stenberg Co., dealers in bottles and bags. The show was good though, Wilson McMath was the chief comic, assisted by Langdon Watts, Mary Louise Lucas, Bernard Jamison, Weona Sperber, Kenneth Klein, Margaret Wilson, and Evelyn Hermeman as clowns, Paul Weigel as the 'Heavy' man, Bob Newell, giving imitations of a woman' crazed baboon, the famous brother and sister act of McConnell and Green, the skit, fake. Above my eyeg the jugglers, Mensonides, Obletz, Lanich, Mont' gomery, and company, Paul Smith and Al Katz handling the juvenile leadsg Seth Clack, in a repertoire of common noisesg and a beauteous bevy of chortling chorines consisting of Eleanor Allen, Aria Clark, Marv Fennell, Grace Hill, Lois Fries, Anna Haggerty, Ruth Mackey, Grace Ringle, Elsie The Bennett Beacon 67 Simson, Ardith Bauer, Mary Parker, Ethel Wetherill, Dorothy Dewitt, and Katherine Menig. After the revue, we all went to John Nolan's Dangerous Druggerie, where Ken Nield was slicing icefcream behind the counter with a deftness that betrayed his mighty muscles, and Howard Gond'ree was mixing the fruit salad and making eyes at Anna May Drews. Adelaide Gielow, Conf stance Baecher, Lorraine Faber, Walter Peterson, Howard Hehr, and Fred Hafner, due to their previous training chemistry lab, were concocting palatable poisons to tempt our appetites. While eating the wieners served by Dorothy Dana, Sid Pastemack, Audrey Bald, Ed Neff, Cynthia Bullock, and Bennett Whitney, I noticed Doctor T. Francis O'Neil, who has worked himself up from being a chiropodist to a dentist, Gerry Ryan, who has wolrked herself up into a frenzy, W. W. Lewis, Jr., that fairyflike instructor of dancing at the Michigan Avenue Pleasure Palace, Shirly Sweeney, editor of Terribly True Confessions magazineg Cc-rd Nichols, a trustee in a bank, Bruce Mac- Arthur, a trusty at jones' Farm, Marie Kurtz, designer of loving cups for the iviirrn, Bobby Young, who is going ahead with force, Audrey Walmsley, the nickleodeon wonder, Hunt Shultz, under a table playing bridge with Ave Hartiield, Frank Welch, and Harriet Wendelgasg Joey McGrath, who had fallen into a parfait glass, Hubert Lee, the big gutter and reg man, Doris Miller, the shoot and croak woman from Chi, Fran Kennedy, who played left end on the bench of the W. C. T. U. Crocheting Team, and jane Miller, on a tricycle, who stopped and insisted that I buy. She told me that she was now a member in good standing of the I. R. C. and the Little Mothers Club. Have I noticed all the Masons running about? Why, I-I didn't know that jiggs was-an automobile manufacturer, did you say Kate? Guaranteed to get the jump on any rival, eh? Well, well,-how time does fly! I really must hang up, Kate. I can smell the sauerkraut cooking for dinner and-oh, Kate, the machine is on again! The twentieth graduation exercises of Bennett High School are showing and-why look who's president! Good old Ben Neal! I knew he would come through this year! I guess that's all, Kate. G'bye, and don't forget to wipe off Baby's chin. Oh, and another thing, Kate. As a prophet, this guy Hagmann was more of a loss. S'long Kate. fClick.J 68 The Bennett Beacon VALEDICTORY By Doris J. Miller, Valedictorian The tide is going out. The pulling, moving tide of progress, the tide that shall plunge us, the class of '29, into the great sea-life-where tomorf row and tomorrow and tomorrow beckon and challenge like so many waves. Because we are young, we are breathless and excited over this new voyf age. We are thrilled by the prospect of new obstacles and new conquests, new knowledge and new joy. And yet because we are human we find our happiness a trifle lessened by a sweet sadness-a sadness that is born of parting and tender memories. For four years we have worked and played, and struggled and climbed together. It was together that we first learned to smile at defeat and to cherish victory, together we grasped, and clung to, and believed in the true poetry of life-that the best is yet to be. And quite suddenly now, it is all over-these moments of sharing dreams and of beautiful friendship. The tide is going out. To Mr. Rhodes, our principal, we owe a debt, a golden debt that cannot be paid with words. He has imparted to each student ideals that will last throughout the years. The faculty we shall always remember with gratitude for their unfailing kindness, help, and understanding. Here, too, we give thanks for the care and devotion of our parents. We want them to know that Youth does appreciate their everyday sacrifices, which, no matter how small, are still great because they have sprung from deep love and belief in us. At Bennett we have pledged ourselves to a life of striving and doing. In the future, God grant we may not disappoint our school. May you, our parents, teachers, and friends, be proud of us, may you rightfully judge us a splendid type of young manhood and womanhood, true to God and our country. And when at last the goal is reached and the fight is won, then we shall know the lasting satisfaction that comes, not of the desire to succeed, but of the realization of success. .I X .

The Moving Finger Writes, and Having W ril, Moves On According to his staff, an editor is one who takes his slothful ease, care' fully bluefpenciling all inspired bits of writing. According to the editor, he is the one who sweats copy out of a passively resistant staff-a staff always polite, but always one week late. To the unprejudiced observer, the above statements may seem biased. Perhaps so: We acknowledge that despite all our travail we have en- joyed this year at the helm of the Beacon. But-we wish to state that not to us is the credit due for the 'Beacon's success this year-marked incidentally by twofthird prizes in national press association contests-not to us is the credit, but to the loyal writers and workers on the staff. The moving finger is passing on. If we could, we should like to recall it, to repeat the experiences of this vear, to try to better our record, but .... G. R. M. The Bennett Beacon HAT ' Tribute It would not be fitting to end a year of the Beacon without mention' ing the very real and thoughtful help of the Beacon advisors, Miss Belden, Miss Rippey, Mr. Rooney and Mr. Spear, and of the faculty director, Mr. Gibbons. These gave freely of their time and their knowledge-as they have given for four years-at any time when the staff needed them. To them goes much of the credit for any success the Beacon may have. Thanks The Beacon wishes to express pub' licly its thanks to the senior claw officers and teachers for their cooperaf tion in making up the.senior section of this issue. Apology In our last issue, a picture of the entrance to the Doge's palace in Ven' ice was erroneously labeled Saint Mark's Cathedral . Saint Mark's is next, to the left of the Doge's palace. The Beacon has printed this year two pictures taken by Mr. Rhodes: the Bridge of Sighs in the Midwinter is' sue, and the wrongly labeled Entrance to the Doge's Palace in the Spring issue. Editor : A short time after Bennett opened, there appeared on various documents, honor pins etc., an insign which was commonly accepted to be the 71 OT school seal. For a long time it has been a question among several Sen' iors as to the origin and significance of this seal. Any information which you can give will be greatly appref ciated and instructive. Paul E. Harris. -After a long search, the Beacon ref turns the desired information. The torch on the seal stands for light- probably the light of knowledge. The laurel on either side symbolizes per' sonal victory. This seal was brought into being by a pin committee chosen from faculty members. IN MEMORIAM Mary Virginia Kelly Stanley Charles Niemiec Upon returning from a pleasant Easter vacation, the girls of room 321 were shocked to hear of the sudden death of one of their best classmates, Mary Kelly. Mary was a real friend to all, and is being mourned deeply. She will always be remembered for her cheering smile to everyone. The girls of 321, and their teacher, Miss Dunham, extend their deepest symf pathy to Mary's parents, and sisters, and brothers. -Lucille Feigel f321j 1932 The Bennett Beacon THE BEACON STAFF Editors and Managers Reporters, Contributors, Solicitors, Lieutenants I-lI'3RlE'S THE REASON By Fred Alther C2203 1930 There is no suhject that one can write on as one's self-but then, why izot? It is hound to interest one person at least. I have been asked so many times hy so many people just why I took up such an instrument as a Bass Viol to help me hecome a musician, that it has become a question which I dodge almost daily. So let's settle it once and for all! Wheii I saw the picture Humoresque fnamed after the piecej some seven or eight years ago, the ambition to become a great violinist surged through my young heart. I managed to convince the folks to let me take music lessons on a nervefracking hanjo. My progress on this instrument in the next two years caused much discussion to hreak out in the neighhorf hood, which resulted in my transferring to the Bass Viol. Perhaps they thought that I had reached the limit of progress and was ready for another-f more classically quietf'-instrument. But I do know that they had reached their limit, and that they were ready for me to take another. My school orchestra director, who hy strange incident happens to he 74 The Bennett Beacon our own Miss Armstrong, assistant to Mr. Seibold at the present time, seemed to fall in with the idea so fully that she even furnished the viol and sent me to take free instruction from Mr. Jocoy at Lafayette. It seemed to me at that time that I surely must be agreat musician to have people go to all that trouble just to give my talent a chance to develop. Truly like my hero of Humoresque. So you see, although I love the instrument, it was not l who selected it. One day a teacher listened to my playing and was so overcome that she took it upon herself to speak to me after rehearsal. My boy, she beamed, I like your playing because you seem to get such - - such mellow tones from it. One of the first compliments to the credit of my talent. Ah-how that predominated in my thoughts the following week. I was reaching my goal-- soon I would really be the equal of my hero! I proudly quoted my vanity to Mr. jocoy, who laughingly but promptly referred me to the dictionary. Looking up the adjectives I saw, to my hor' ror, that the synonyms of mellow were-WOVER-RIPE and ROTTEN! A true musician is often misunderstood. I took it in the way poor, struggling artists have a habit of doing: I suffered in silence. fHadn't my hero done the same in the early part of the pictureffj The following year I landed under the direction of Mr. Seibold and hegan to wonder whether I really had any talent at all. If I had, it was that hidden talent they speak about, for, during the first term in the orchestra, Mr. Seibold didn't even say that my playing was mellow-but he did sav that the only reason he was keeping me was that I was the only one in school who playedgor pretended to play-the bass viol. I went straight home, my temper highly pitched, the air castles of my vanity tumbled down, my hero laughing at me. and I was determined to again turn my attention to the banjo and let the Bennett orchestra go to the dogs. But disappointment again loomed before me. The folks persuaded me to wait till summer when I could go to the country with my banjo. As in the case of Nero, the world was on the point of losing a great artist-but I crawled back to rehearsal next day. Never should mv art suffer because of my pride-nay, I must humble myselflmso I suffered on in silence. But my great day was to come--and it did. In the first term of my third year-when soloists in the morning assemblies were a fad, a fellow made a bet with me that I wasn't musician enough to play before the two thousand. I couldn't let that pass, my honor was at stake, so I approached the now more congenial Mr. Seibold on the subject, and, as a result, on XVednesday, December the seventh, nineteen hundred twentyfseven, the student body swayed to the rhythm of Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep. As I drew forth the cellar notes, thoughts of the past-like a dying man - 'surged through my heated brain. My hero of Humoresque had no greater The Bennett Beacon 75 audience than this-nor had he a bigger violin. The Eve years of practicing and development crowded into those few minutes-at last my dreams had come true, and I was the great musician before my appreciative audience. Suddenly at the threefquarter measure rest before the climax, a shower of applause, mingled with the laughter of suppressed amusement which cres- ccndoed to an FFF, burst forth from the rear of the assembly, who took it that I was finished. I rocked the cradle of the deep to the end and hastily vanished mid the cheers and longest applause of the term. After my curtain call, I dashed down to Bf4 with the bulky instrument of my heart, followed by a flock of stage loungers. Their every question was: Why did you take up a bass fiddle to become a musician? From then to this day I have been repeating this story time and again to satisfy the same question. There are, perhaps, a few who have not heard it, and it is to those I dedicate this tale. And now, I beg of you, my friends, taunt me no more. - ' THE WORKMAN'S DAY Morning sky The red maw of a furnace Moltenly hot, hungry. Noon sky Broad bars of fluid metal, Fieryfhued, glowing.

GQ 212 The Bennett Beacon 77 PLAY BOY By Doris J. Miller f20.7J 1929 i fConclusionJ Jamison made a frantic dash for the back door as the only available entrance. In his heart was a prayer that Anne had been able to reach one of the smaller rooms. Lucky the servant's stairway was not demolished, he told himself g lucky he could stand the smoke and the heat. Then sud- den terror gripped him. Maybe he couldn't find Anne after allg maybe no one would ever find her, maybe she was --. A red tongue of flame leaped out from somewhere and licked the wall. More tongues. The smoke thickened. Once he tried to shout, but it choked him. It was hard to breathe now and his eyes smarted. This is not real, this isn't you-it's a dream, his brain kept repeating, while Jamison, gritting his teeth moved doggedly toward what had once been the ballroom. Just then he stumbled over something. It was small and soft and had on a blue chiffon dress. It was Anne. Thank God, he muttered, as he lifted her up gently. He knew he would never have had the strength or the fight to return alone. The next few hours were a confused blur to Jamison's memory. A crowd of hysterical young people shouted at him, someone bandaged his arms, somebcdv said, Your wonderful! The last thing he remembered he was in bed. His mother was bending over him with tears of pride in her eyes. He smiled at her drowsily-and slept. wk if are wk as The garden was bright with sunshine and the crimson of roses. Anne was resting there, still pale and weak from her harrowing experience of a week ago, and it was there Jamison found her when he arrived in response to her request to see him. ' Anne, he spoke softly for fear of disturbing her. Why, Jamie, she cried, stretching forth two small hands in greet' ing, uthis is the first chance I've had to thank you for saving my life. I realize now more than ever that I can never repay you. Jamison said nothing. Something like relief and exultation surged within him. Anne had not called him PlayfBoy, she had said Jamie He accepted this humbly as the evidence of his redemption. He promised him' self that in the future she should never have cause to regret this newffound belief in him. For the first time in many weeks he was genuinely happy. Anne was still talking. F It's a beautiful day, she was saying, don't you think so, Jamie? O, very, -Jamison smiled. In fact, it seems to me the sun has never been brighter! THE END THAT MYSTERTOUS ENGINE, THE SLIDE RULE, UNSCRAMBLED AND EXPLATNED CAn Interview with Mr. Larrabee by Gertrude Silverbergj Anyone who has watched the adding machines at work in a bank, the speedometer on an automobile, the cashfregister in a grocery store, cannot help but realize the importance of the mathematical calculating machine in our everyday lives. The slide rule pictured above is just another such machine. The nimble lingers of the operator, the slide, and the movable and fixed scales, take the place of gears and levers. There is not enough room here to explain all the computations possible with a slide rule. Qnly the operations concerning the checking of a problem in numerical trigonometry fthe new part of elementary algebraj will be considered here. Take a simple problem such as finding the height of a tower, where the distance from the foot is eighty feet, and the angle of elevation of the tower top from the eighty-foot point is forty degrees. Set forty degrees on the tangent scale to the hairline on the back of the rule by changing the movable scale. Then move the hairline of the slide on the front of the rule to the large figure S on the D scale. Read your answer on the C scale at this place If the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle is given instead of one of the sides as in the previous problem, then the same operations are done, but with the use of the sine scale on the back for the angle, and the A and B scales in front for the multiplication. The answer will be on the B scale. If division is to be done instead of multiplication, reverse the settings on the C and D scales, or on the A and B scales, according to which are being used. This makes the answer come on the reverse scales. If the tangent of an angle of over fortyflive degrees is required, simply sct the back hairline in the angle obtained by subtracting the given angle from ninety degrees and reverse the settings on the C and D scales multiplif cation. If you are going to set out to master the slide rule, let me conclude with this advice: Practice makes perfect. The Bennett Beacon 79 A NOVICE IN THE AIR By Arthur Callahan 124 U93lI Well, Jack, I certainly do agree with you. There's nothing quite like flying. My first time up in an airplane happened to be a trip to Detroit. Pre' parations had been completed when we arrived at the Buffalo Airport, almost late. The giant trifmotored, duralumin monoplane stood glistening in the sun, groomed and ready. The lowfpitched roar of its idling engines united with humming of the propellors to produce an allfpenetrating drone. We, my brother and I, entered it and seated ourselves in comfortable wicker chairs. It was then that I proceeded to become nervous. Hearing one of the other passengers say that weather conditions were frightful in a small belt outside of Buffalo did not soothe my troubled mind. I became more nervous My mind reviewed the air fatalities' of the past week. In screaming head' lines had been recorded the deaths of about eight persons. In one of the accidents four people had been burned to death in midfairg in the other, four had died in a collision at the start between an airplane takingmff and one descending. Those 'scare'heads' were certainly well named. The pilot, a small, dark, insignificant person, entered speaking cheers' fully to everyone.-There were eight in the party, I being the only one who had never been up beforcf-Going forward the pilot seated himself at the controls, throttled the engines preparatory to taking-off, and signalled the attendant to remove the blocks from under the wheels. 'We were racing down the runway with unmuffled engines spitting fire. I believe I was never more nervous in my life. I began wishing I'cl taken a train, wishing I'd gotten out at the start-oh, how I did want to get out! I knew I was going to faint, but I didn't. The plane ascended, my hopes descended. I felt sick and empty down in the pit of my stomach. I began wishing I'd led a better life. Turning to my brother, I tried to speak but couldn't. Enthusiastically he asked, 'Isn't this great? Don't you like it?' My agreement was a wan, twitching attempt at smiling, then I stared out the window. But the plane wasn't burning, wasn't on fire anywhere! It wasn't falling, hopelessly out of control! It wasn't in any stage of any kind of disaster! Assuring myself of these vital facts, I relaxed a little. The towns and hamlets became engagingly scenic when viewed from our height. Concrete highways hastened between villages. Narrow dirt roads rambled aimlessly. White church spires dominated surrounding areas. Everything spread out under us in a vast panorama. U 'The incessant drone of the motor became monotonous. I said some' thing about it to my brother. He replied he thought it hypnotic and it made 80 The Bennett Beacon him sleepy. Sleepy! Well I was still nervous and didn't really believe that l'd rest properly for a month at least. Suddenly we entered the storm area. It became 'bumpy'. I sat tighter in my chair. Lightning flashed about, thunder roared in deep notes, rain sped down- ward. Then a rending, grinding, scraping, from the center motor, the shatf tering of glass, and the pilot toppled from his seat, unconscious, perhaps dead. At the same time, the plane gave a sudden twist, fell into a vertical dive, then zoomed into a nearly perpendicular climb. It went twisting, climbing, falling, like a chip upon a wave in a stormy sea. It fell into a spin, whirling faster and faster. All sat dazedly, knocked against the sides of the plane, all realizing there would be no recovery from the spin. I'd thought I was nervous at the start of the flight. Superlatives couldn't express my fears now. I knew we eight were doomed. My thoughts were jumbled.-Now I knew I should have gotten out at the start.-My past went. by. so quickly, I reviewed my present predicament and was considering my future possibilities in less than seconds. The plane kept gathering speed. We waited. Suddenly it slipped side- ways, still spinning. I lurched forward striking my head slightly. My brother seized my arm, and I turned dazedly toward him. 'What's the matter? You've been asleep since we ran into that fog outside of Buffalo' Yes, jack, there certainly is nothing quite like flying.

Left with little to start with, the officers, with Miss Westermann as faculty adviser, have steadily worked toward the goal of the club. Programs, comprising German stories and songs, German playlets and discussions of German customs, have all helped in supplementing the class work.

Thirty members joined the society. and many entertaining and educational meetings were held. Interest in debating, literature, and poetry was so stimulated that the members have received great benefit. Among the activities of the year the Freshman Declamation Contest, the interfsociety debate, and the Christmas meeting were the most outstanding. -Bernice E.

Evelyn Wetherill On November 16, the Science Club conducted a trip through the Ford plant. On December S, members of the club went through the Plant of the Buffalo Evening News, and got inside dope about the production of a large newspaper. The last meeting, held on March 22, dealt with the interesting topic, What is it? It was a discussion of scientiiic curiosities led by Mr. Masson. ' -Edna Glair Q207j 1929 The Bennett Beacon 83 CHESS CLUB Meetings of the Chess club have been irregular. During most of the year you could have looked into 206 or 214 and seen at least four of the members busily improving their game any afternoon. During meetings one might have noticed that arguments were going on as to who was the best player and? who should represent the club in meets. As a result of this a tournament was held and the winners turned out to be Duerr, Hanson, Maier, Miller, and Poppenberg. -John K. Metzger f212j 1929 STAMP CLUB During the past year the Stamp Club has had many enjoyable meetings, at which a large percentage of the members turned out. Owing to the nature of the club it is impossible to have varied meetings, but enough variety has been secured so that the meetings were not monotonous. At several of the meetings a man from the Buffalo Stamp Club attended and helped the members to be familiar with stamps. Trading and selling has formed a great part of the meetings. -John K. Metzger 1212, 1930 LEGION OF HONOR As all the present officers of the Legion are Seniors, this organization will be left in the hands of the Junior members, of whom sevelral are' new. The Legionnaires have carried on several campaigns, have run a dance, and have had charge of an assembly. -Doris Pfeifer f117j 1929 84 The Bennett Beacon BENNETT PLAYERS l . Officers and Directors The Bennett Players during the past year have had a most eventful season. Last fall, under the direction of Mr. Stamp, they successfully pref sented Home Again. As each of these annual productions is always prof nounced the best yet, the play next year will probably be unsurpassable. Durf ing the year, club members have made school assemblies interesting by pref senting The .Qualities of Washington, Red Carnations and Figureheads. -Isabel F. Whitelock 12212 1930 PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB During the past year many Bennett students have availed themselves of the opportunity to become better acquainted with the study of photography. They have learned to print, develop, and enlarge, in the dark room. off the chemistry laboratory. Such has been the thoroughness of the work that one boy, Wilson McMath, was able to obtain a position last summer through his experience at Bennett. Much of the work done by the boys has been prof nounced as good as that of professionals. The Photography Club, besides doing work for the Bennett Beacon, has rendered its services to Schools 61 and 62, and has taken photographs fotr The Church at Work, the official publication of the Lafayette Presbyterian Church. fThe pictures taken for the grammar schools were later used in the Buffalo School Magazine, to show certain educational practices in the elef The Bennett Beacon 85 mentary schools., Added to this, several of the newspapers have used the negatives, a late example of which is the use of the picture of the Senior Class Officers in the News. It is Mr. Spears opinion that the students studying photography have furthered an interesting and instructive hobby which will be of special value i-1 the study of chemistry. -Arthur Hawkins f206, 1929 .

Whitelock 1221, 1930 86 The Bennett Beacon BENNETT HI-Y The Bennett HifY has had a most eventful year and has also been one of the most active of the clubs. Many fields of activities have been touched by it in all of which it has shown its ability to do things. just before the LafayettefBennett football game, the club gave a banquet for the teams, in conjunction with the Lafayette HifY. This May, another banquet was given for all lettermen in the school. To further assist athletics, both fall and spring schedules were composed and distributed to the students. Also, at all home games, the club has been in charge of the check room. Again, in the fall, the club sold megaphones to the school body. Such social affairs as a sleigh ride and dance, a Father and Son banquet, a Mother and Son banquet, and a skating party, have been successfully completed. A closing banquet that will exceed any ever given will take place ir: june. P About Christmas time enough funds were raised to outfit completely two families with clothing, and Christmas dinners to boot. At this time new memf bers were inducted and Principal Charles E. Rhodes and Assistant Principal Emmons B. Farrar were received as honorary members. One of the best of their projects was effected in the latter part of April. This was the HifY campaign, which brought out a hundred new members. Every industry in Buffalo was represented in this campaign, which will prove its worth as time goes on. The club meets every Wednesday and has had a good speaker as often as possible. One of the best speakers was Coach Yost, of Michigan, who spoke at the Father and Son banquet. -John K. Metzger QZIZJ 1930 The Bennett Beacon 87 FRENCH CLUB The French Club has had a very successful year although it lost two of its oilicers, George Lienert, President, and Horton Stickle, Vicefpresident. Many interesting programs have been carried out and more have been planned, the last of which will be a party. -Doris Pfeflier H171 1929 COLOR GUARD Now that school is over Summer's drawing nigh, Color Guard is saying To our job, goodbye. But the members have been very faithful to their job during the past year and well deserve a vacation. jean McGinnis is a new member of the Color Guard. -Isabel F. Wbitelock QZZU 1930 THE SPRING DEBATE TEAM FOREIGN DESPATCHES By Howard Gondree Lafayette High School The Lafayette Oracle recently received a letter of commendation on the perfecf tion of their magazine from George W. Norvell, Supervisor of English. Lafayette Art students won all the prizes in a poster contest conducted by the Buffalo executive committee of the tenth National Flower and Garden Show. Seventy posters were entered in the conf test. East High School East High School pupils will present a one-act play, Fi ureheads, in the theater tournament at Itliaca. This play was pref sented at Bennett in assembly by the Ben' nett Players. A representative is being sent to speak in the declamation contest. Reverend Allan Knight Chalmers inter' preted Modern Negro Poetry for the members of the East High School Literary Society. Poetic composition, racial preju' dice, and the mind of the modern negro were a few of the interesting subjects he discussed. In the way of assemblies, East High believes in originality. The Chemistry Club presented in assembly a onefact play, each character representing elements. Phosphorus and Carbon could not re- strain their clownish antics, which were very amusing. Arthur Kanehl, last year's catcher and team captain, stepped from the East High team into professional baseball. At pres' ent he is training with the Bisons at Pal' metto, Florida. r Fosdick-Masten High School Work on the Fosdicfq'Masten Chronicle is being rushed in order to appease im' patient seniors. The year book will be printed in two different covers in order to fit varying pocketbooks. The blue imif tation leather or Mocotan is for well' rounded purses: the paper cover, for the slimmer ones. Interest in the introduction of golf as an interscholastic sport is keen in Fosdick' Masten. All prospective golfers are be' ing examined for the ability of another Bobby Jones or Walter Hagen. A group of dramatic artists have left the city to represent the school in the theater tournament to be held at Ithaca. They will present Edmund Rostand's The Romanccrs. Two contestants for the declamation contest will accompany them. An unusual assembly was recently held at FosdickfMasten. Instead of marching into assembly ac' cording to study rooms, as usual, the seating was regulated according to the type of voice. The senior section held even freshmen on this occasion. Familiar melodies were then sung in four-part har' mony. Girl athletes of this school have im' proved upon the usual order of events. In order to further sweeten the victory, the vanquished team must prepare a feast for the winners. e Bennett eacon VOL. IV COMMENCEMENT ISSUE No. 4- NUSIENL PHIJIJUETIIJN SENHES SUEIJESS Remarkable ingenuity marked Bennett High's fourth annual musical revue, Moments Musical, held in the school audi! torium, April 29 and 30, under the direcf tion of Richard E. Seibold. Approximf ately one hundred students participated in the production. Divided into three acts Moments Mu' sical afforded pleasure to both big and lit' tle. The hrst act, which was of serious vein, contained numbers rendered by the Glee Club and Violins of the Orchestra. Act Two, to the amusement and pleasure of the younger set, set pulses skipping with the Railroad Shuffle, Dutch Folk Dance, Minuet, Skaters' Waltz, and the Apache Dance. These were carefully per' formed by the most skilled technicians of the waxed floors available in Bennett High. Donald Dobbins' tenor solo in Act Three, which contained music of a still lighter vein, was as astonishing as the saxophone blues rendered by the Saxo' Dhone quartet. Numbers by the Glee Club and Orchestra completed the prof gram. Nl-Y FETE5 LETTEHMEN Under the auspices of the Bennett Hi Y, Bennett High athletes gathered in the school cafeteria, Thursday evening, Mav 9, to partake of the annual l..ettermen's feast. Downer Packwood, stately senior of Room 206, presided at the affair. The climax of the evening followed the blessing by Dr. Rhodes, when men and students devoured an excellent din- ner of roast lamb and mint jelly. Acf cording to Mr. Gibbons this was the best meal that had ever tickled his palate. An outstanding feature of the program was the presentation of a parting gift to Ellis H. Champlin for his services as head of our physical education department dur' ing 1925'1929. Following the presenta' tion Mr. Champlin spoke on athletes who, although physically handicapped, attained success in athletics. Louis Schmitt, George fwarhorseb Mason and Ken Neild also delivered short addresses. -'Arthur Hawkins f206j 1929 EIJEHLE NNIJ SUGNHMNN WINNERS IN MEHIIEH NEG On May 17th the luniors had the chance to show their ability in the line of speaking. The annual declamation, sponsored by the Mercer Club of Buf- falo, was held in assembly on this date. These were the contestants: Seymour Sugar' man, Alexander Feldman, George Houck, Wil- liam Sawyer, Dorothy Krog, Hazel Schuessler, Lucille Harris, and Rhoda Goehle. The judges, three past presidents of the lvlercer Club, decided that Rhoda Goehle and Seymour Sugarman were the winners, with Hazel Schuessler and George Houck runners up. Mr. Jack Brindley, the pres! ent president of the Club, in giving the judges' decision, announced that the prizes would be ready ten days after the Decla' mation, as the names of the winners had to be engraved on the commemorative medals. So, Monday, May 27th, the prizes will be presented by President Brindley. -Vv'illiam E.

Stories that originated on this expedif tion were sold by the masterful David Brewer to a true confessions magazine. The proceeds were used to buy new tires for Miss Elliott's Ford car. The trip included visits to the Wash' ington Monument, Annapolis Naval Acad' emy, the Capitol, Congressional Library, Smithsonian Institute, PanfAmerican Union, and the Lincoln Memorial. Members of the party were: Bernard Meyer, David Maier, John Handy, David Brewer, William McClurg, Rees Wil' liams, Phillip Mansfield, Betty Watson, Miss Hill, Dorothy Lehmann.

Elliott, Mrs. Watson, and Mrs. Farrar. -Arthur Hawkins C1065 1929 MISS SSHAEFEII IIEVEALS SAFETEHIA IIIEIETISS The statement that Bennett students consume two thousand sandwiches and over forty gallons of soup a day was the startling statement issued by Miss Schaeff fer of the Cafeteria staff. Miss Schaeffer also made known that they use about nine bushels of potatoes to satisfy the appetites of those who crave fattening foods. fWe pity the person who pares themj A total of four hun' dred salads and forty gallons of ice cream also are gone at the end of the lunch periods.

Miss Patterson and Miss Brettle advised and assisted the Juniors. Through the efforts of Edmond Forse we were able to enjoy a snappy, peppy, sevenfpiece orchestra, Thompson's Sere' naders. The Seniors were extended a cordial invitation to attend this gala gath' ering, at which many of them showed their ability as dancers. To cover the expenses of the Dance and Iunior Day, each Junior was assessed twentyffive cents. -William E.

ASIIIEINIIMY LEIITUIIE BY SIIIINSIIMAN DAVIS Stars and Life are visible manifesta- tions of God, declared Councilman George A. Davis, in speaking on his hobby, astronomy, to the students of Ben' nett High School on Monday, April 15. In his talk Mr. Davis stated that astronomy has advanced greatly in the last few years. Some of the interesting and amazing facts revealed were: the temperature of the sun at the surface is 10,000 degrees, although the sun is burnf ing up rapidly at this temperature it will last many millions of years longerg the stars are not fixed, but are moving very rapidly, some to the extent of '500 miles a second, and because of this fact the constellation, the Great Bear, will disap' pear in 100,000 years. In his estimation astronomy teaches us that a thing is not true simply because someone wishes it were true. Councilman Davis also ex' plained the Nebular Hypothesis. WHenry Sutter f212j 1930 The Bennett Beacon JUNIIIH DAY UBSEHVEII Junior Day was observed on May 10 with pomp and glory by Bennettonians. The procession into the assembly was a vision of pulchritude and manly perfec- tion. Sadly the Seniors forsook their places and the triumphant juniors filed in. Earl Arthurs, President of the Junior Class, presided over the assembly. The program began with The History of Arbor Day as related by George Houck. This was followed by two de- lightful vocal solos, At Twilight and Smilin' Thru, by Ruth Butts. and by an address, How Arbor Day Has Been Cbscrvedf' by Walter Merwin. Char- lotte Baxter gave a reading, He Who Plants a Tree. The Octet of Junior Boys sang for the enjoyment of all. Jes- sie Constantine whirled through an intri- cate Spanish Dance. An amusing sketch. The Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1930. was presented by Rhoda Goehle, Doris Flierl, Esther Lawrence, and Isabel Whitelock. The glorious finale was the presentation of the Iunior Award by Vice-President Helen Gibson to Wil- liam Proffitt and Rhoda Goehle. -Margaret Goff 0211 1930 .IUNIIIH UFFIIIER5 ELEBTEIJ In assembly at a mass meeting of the Class of 1930, the Juniors followed the custom set forth by their predecessors of electing their class officers. By overwhelm- ing majorities Earl Arthurs was honored with the presidency, and Helen Gibson the vice-presidency. Henry Warren, the hockey l-ring, was chosen secretary, and Charles Pleuthner, of literary fame, treas- urer. The boys' and girls' marshals were vot- ed upon by Lhe boys and girls respec- tively. Edmond Forse and Margaret Toal were the winners. These officers have proved themselves capable executives and invaluable to the class. --William E.

Bernice E. Hempel, last year's winner of the Freshmen Declamation, was adjudged the best individual speaker. Miss Hempel was presented with a five dollar gold piece for her efforts: the winning so- ciety received a ten dollar gold piece. Resolved: That in the United States the principle of private ownership of pub- lic utilities is sound. proved an excellent topic for the word battle. Members of the winning team which upheld the af- firmative were: Bernice Hemple. Ruth Westover, David Brewer, and Dorothy Davis, alternate. The Avesta-Zends were Eleanor Anderson. Iosephine Whitney. Samuel Isaacs, and Ruth Cornelius, alter- nate. The judges for the debate were twenty- five pupils: for the best speaker, five teachers. -Arthur D.

Class Day was the most important of all Senior events preceding Commencement. The Senior Dance was held in the gymnasium on the afternoon of the same day, june 10. This affair was enjoyed by all. -Albert G. Preston, Ir. 11241 1921 92 MLMMDLH HDNDH HDLL Bennett is improving. Each honor roll has been much larger than its predef cessor. When the latest marks came out there were over four hundred on the honor roll, and almost six hundred on the merit roll. This means that there were about one thousand with averages over SSW. Strange as it may seem, the majority of these were girls. The crowd of failers has greatly diminf ished under the rule that all those who fail two subjects have to attend the af' ternoon studyehour or drop a subject. If we keep on at this rate, there will be very few people who fail even one subject, and the size of the honor roll will be inf creased enormously. At the latest Honor assembly the fol' lowing pins were awarded: Gold-jean Calkins, Marjorie Dohn, Ruth Kromke, Chapin Lowell, Iacquelin McEvoy, john Metzger, and Margaret Mesmer.

Red Carnations involved a mixup of names and appointments and was as entertaining and as diflicult of so' lution as the we11'known Comedy of Er' rors.

The spring hikes have heen enjoyed hy all, especially the ten' mile hike conducted hy Miss Lautz and Miss Wztrters, of which there is an account in this issue. In the major swimming meets the Blue team was vicf lurious, which completes that sport except for the party given hy the losers to the school champions. MAJOR SWIMMING TEAM The Bennett Beacon 101 TENNIS The Girls' Tennis Team consists of the following players. This is the one team-of girls-that enters into interscholastic competition. Q1 1 Ethel Haas QQ Mary Parker 13, Gertrude Anneser Suhs: Mary Jane Stettenhenz, Gladys Hauser TEN-MILE HIKE As a climax to many delightful spring hikes, the Bennett girls hiked out to Erie Beach on May 11. As usual it rainedg even the most optimistic have, this year, heen forced to concede that hike and rain are synonymous. After slushing through innumerahle mud puddles, the hikers reached the stadium at the beach. Enormous lunches were devoured, and a track meet was held on the field. Some of the more adventurous explored the Old Mill and found plenty of spider webs, In spite of that incessant rain, however, the girls and Miss Lautz and lwiiss Warters had a. grand and glorious time .

Yost's The work of the team at the end of the third season of Mr coaching showed well the results of the three year program which carried out. The line was undoubtedly one of the finest among the local high schools. The two defeats suffered were not undeserved, but were due to imperfections within our own lines. The development of Kennedy from his regular berth at guard into a ball carrier of the first order was particularly noteworthy. We look foward to next year, assured by the knowledge that the two important centers of attack, center and quarterback, will again be filled by the Deacon and Captain-elect Cook. --Del Cronk 12101 1929 he has The Bennett Beacon 103 CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Back row: Schmitt KCoachl, Amell, Mason, Dentinger, Fisher QMgr.l Front row: Little O'Neil lCapt.J Walters, Brett SQUAD Else Demerly Greissinger Homan Rhea Ferris Bush Restorff Buckbee Huston Marsales Lowell Bucholtz Neiman Nolan Huber Leopold Ryan Holzhausen Barrow MEETS Bennett ........... ............. 1 8 ......... .........,........................ ........... 4 O .......... ...................

COURIER-EXPRESS MEET At 174th Armory April 12, 1929 Much to everyone's astonishment, the team began compiling points from the very beginning of things. Johann E. G. Hagmann and Hubert Lee grabbed off third and second places respectively, in the low hurdles. Jiggs Mason won the high hurdles by so far that it wasn't even funny. Doing this fatigued him to such an extent that the best he could do in the high jump was to tie for first with Sandresky of dear old Lafayette. Mason, incidentally, won the flip for the gold medal. Stretch Mason tied for first in the broad jump and took fourth in the high jump. Bob Newell received second honors in the furlong event and Larry Lawson tied for third in the tall timberftopping race. Amell scored in the half-mile. And so it went. Steadily the scoring continued, until when the meet was over the colors of Bennett rested in second position, a few measly points separating them from East, the winner. Only the very finest fighting spirit, coupled with a grim determination to win, could have brought about such a fine result. And, by the way, if Coach Montgomery would like to know, Bennett is very well pleased with him, and we wish him and his charges a very successful outdoor track season. -Stanley H. Fisher f21Oj 1929 104 The Bennett Beacon HOCKEY-1929 The Hockey Team entered the lists as defending Michigan Cup chamf pions. Most of the play was developed around lrv Puls, wingman and high scorer in the series, and Captain Red Warren, fast moving goalie. Open ice and lack of coaching have done much to prevent the Buffalo scholastic However, well.

In the first inning a few clouds gathered for Bennett when Canisius filled the bases and brought in three runs, two of which were made by as many squeeze plays. But very soon the Bennett sun drove the clouds away and Canisius gained only one more run during the game. In the fifth inning with bases full Ray Knell banged out a clean two bagger which brought in three runs and did much to help gain Bennett's victory. The hope of Bennett's winning the Cornell Cup this year is more bril- liant than in any previous season, although Bennett finished in second place last year.

We were forced to yield a little ground when Horton, lead off man, dropped his match to Gramlich. Pusateri, third singles man, achieved the spectacular by rallying when behind, having dropped the first set and within one point of the second, and doing excellent work to win the match. South Park offered far more opposition than we had expected, Gramlich, their leadfoff man, is a player of high caliber.
