From the outset, one single, compelling purpose has inspired the Fair. That purpose is to foster universal peace and progress by building the world of tomorrow with the tools of today. Graduation will project us into a broader fellowship moving toward destinies of far more importance than we have ever contemplated. Thus, it is fitting that the Fair should become the symbol of a common goal. May our efforts help to create in the world of tomorrow a society marked by international peace, notable advancement in the arts and sciences, and political, economic, and religious freedom. fn MISS MU TO THE I A CCDUNSELOPwS AXLE ul' 'k al' 'A' 'A' i' IN RECOGNITION OF THEIR FINE SERVICE WE RESPECT FULLY DEDICATE THIS ISSUE ill!! m f Mg, xN'5YZl1!S'I1'1,.f-KY i 3 5 .., Q' -f , -ze J-3 9 1:-. yew- gag 2. . .WH 'V F A H , ,S.5.z3:Q'-f 5 L -www'-' L4 ----- iam ' i 'nn ' ' . ,M ' A - N- get' A A K v R ,'! 2 X 3 M f Xen , :Q !

WALLACE E. BARNES FELLOW CLASSMATES: Tonight we stand at the crossroads of life. Together the past four years we have grown in knowledge, culture, and character. We must now apply what we have learned to the infinitely complex modern world. The past illuminates the answers to the momentous decisions we shall be called upon to make in the future. We have been unusually fortunate these past four years. Our parents have sacrificed for us and guided us over the rough places. We have had wise counsel and loving guidf ance from our teachers and directors. The golden friendships we have formed with teachers and students are cherished memories. Buoyed up by these fond recollections of class and campus, we set our course for the future. We cannot hesitate. We must keep our feet firmly planted upon the ground and our eyes fixed upon the future. This future we are not afraid to face. We are told the way may be steep and rough but we are imbued with the spirit, the ideals and the traditions of our alma mater. We feel, not only that we have been given a resource and a granary for the battle of life, but also that we must fulhll a trust placed in us here tonight. For in all our years at Bennett, some' thing far greater than the promise of award has spurred us on-on-ever on, to the pin' nacle of athletic and scholastic success. May we never betray this spirit, this creed and this motto, that The best is yet to be. Tomorf row's great leaders are yet to be madeg new books must be written to stir men's hearts and new feats of greatness await our fearless determination to perform them. Each age demands clear minds, strong hearts, and will' ing hands. Youth must answer the call. We press on, guarding our future with faith, faith in our fellow man and in this world of tomorrow. Hodierno die nos denique pervenimus ad illam mctam quo per quattuor annos tenebamus, diem ad haec sollemnia concelebranda constitiitam. Nunc autem percipimus haec sollemnia non esse finem quem petierimus, sed principium unde n6s ali6s Hnes videamus. Priusquam discedimus, quisque suum cursum petens, honoremus eos qui hic nobiscum nostram fortunam partiti sunt et nobis auxilium dederunt. O cari parentes, pro vestro amore et coniirmatione nobis dubitantibus data, ab im6 corde vobis gratias agimus. i' if Ill SIIIII PATRICIA PERKINS 'Twas only yesterfyear our eyes were turned, In childflike guilelessness to worldly things. The ways of God and man alike unlearned, We paralleled the beggar's garb with kings'. But soon these watchful, listless days were claimed By joyous hours of careless, romping play, Until we touch the goal at which we aimed, And sight the threshold of another day. 'Tis not alone we face the mocking world, But 'side our comrades who with us are named To mould a destiny which lies unfurled, To sanctify the ground where fools have reigned. Within us now the light of wisdom burns, For which a mighty nation soon will plead IILIIIIIIIIII CAROL SEEGER Mzigister Farrar, qui nos ad scientiam consequen- dam incitavisti, pr6 tu6 utili consilio tibi gritiam semper habebimus. Cari praeceptores, qui n6bis consilium sapientcr dedistis et nos in nostris studis patienter duxistis, precamur ut vestri labores non vani fuerint. O condiscipuli, comites in nostris prosperitatibus erroribusque, memores beatarum horarum in scholl Bennettense, vobis salutem damus. Denique, Futiirum, in quod ignari sed avidi ituri sumus, te salfitamus. if Vfhen dictators and demagogues it spurns, And finds at last the peace which forms its creed. Our guiding hands will some day mould a land, Unmatched in virtue, culture, art or might. Our youths as greatest leaders then will stand, Distinguishing the ways of wrong from right. Among us rise the teachers of the morrow, On whom the knowledge of the world depends, While men of holy ranks will soothe the sorrow, To which a heartless conflict oft' descends. Unto ourselves we ne'er must be untrue, For this would mar the heritage we praise In every humble task that we pursue, And drown the perfectness we hope to raise. 'Tis but a concentrated will can gain The gloried annals which the nation strives For, not a stalwart few can e'er attain The goal at which a multitude arrives. Ahead we see the parting paths of life. The first, a straight and narrow road of right, And then, the one of turbulence and strife. Shall we not choose the way of virtuous light? HISTURY KENNETH MARTIN We are living today in a dynamic world. For the past four years Bennett High School has been a vital part of our lives. Graduation does not mark the close of living in this dynamic society but rather its continuation. At first, we of the Class of 1939, found it diflif cult to orient ourselves to a new building, new teachers, and new ideas. Now they have become so much a part of us that we are reluctant to leave the sheltering portals of Bennett. However, the time has come when we must forfeit our places and begin to shoulder the responsibilities facing young men and women in America today. We have added to what others have done to help make our heritage Hne, not so much for our own satis' faction as for the contribution it has made to the heritage of those who shall follow. Our freshman year was very complex. Condi' tioning ourselves to the building and acquainting ourselves with the new routine of passing to classes was undoubtedly the most puzzling situation we had yet experienced. For many of us who attended the freshman annexes, the adaptation to real high school life was to come during the second year. However, we did not pass unnoticed. Freshmen led a number of Bennett honor rolls, Marie Trop' man and Kenneth Martin were the Philosophian Declamation Contest winners, and both Howard Van Dermeulen and Robert Bernhard made the Freshman debate team. As Sophomores, we became better acquainted with those members of the faculty who were help' ing us to become more Hrmly established in the school system and we acquired more confidence in ourselves. We gained a greater appreciation of the true Bennett spirit. We sang Bennett songs, cheered Bennett cheers, attended sport events, and felt more like individuals. As the year hurried onward, our concepts broadened and we began to follow our own special interests in extracurricular activities and sports. Athletes such as Mack, Miles, Pello, Laird, and Shaffer helped us to retain the Williams Cup. The Beacon, Debate, and club membership also provided outlets for many of us that second year. As examinations hurried onward we found ourselves beginning fully to enjoy the opportunities that had opened for us. That year went too quickly. Coming back as juniors we were ready to par' ticipate in more school activities to make sure we received the fullest enjoyment from our efforts. Many of us became outstanding this year. In def bating, Parks, Bernhard, Van Dermeulen and Martin were called to the front while the latter as well as Marie Tropman won the Mercer Declama' tion Contest. Flannigan, Pello, Hudson, Edwards, and Calleri increased Bennett's prestige in the field of sports. Toward the end of the year, Marie Tropman and Kenneth Martin received the junior Awards. Thus, the third chapter of our life at Bennett was closed. We entered our Alma Mater last September with sober thoughts and high ambitions that all our desires might be fully satisned. The fulhllment of this hope would have been impossible had it not been for the sympathetic understanding and counsel of Mr. Farrar, Mrs. Wilkinson, Miss Brettle and our Counselors, Mr. Axlerod and Miss Muntz. Outstanding work has been displayed in our school play, The Torchbearers, produced under the experienced direction of Mr. Stamp. Robert Moesch, Jeanne White, and Sylvia Horwitz played outstanding roles. In the Girls' AllfHigh Declama' tion Contest, Marie Tropman placed first. In a national poster contest Bennett students stepped to the front. Eileen Franks won first prize and Joseph Cardina took second place. Every year Ben' nett has had an excellent record in athletics. A few of those who have preserved this reputation are jones and Gwinn in golf, Hudson and Woods in crossfcountry, Ferguson and Leous in football, Miller and Walsh in basketball, Browning and Laird in swimming, Dukes and Lundrigan in track, and Richtand and Felthousen in tennis. The Class of 1939 has recently selected the following officers: James Dukes, president, Mar' jorie Wende, vicefpresident, Dorothy Behringer, girls' treasurer, Robert Browning, boys' treasurer, Marie Tropman, girls' marshal, james Herbert, boys' marshal, and Harry Whitney, prophet. Later Carol Seeger was selected salutatorian, Wallace Barnes, valedictorian, and Patricia Perkins, poet. As our high school career draws to a close we look forward to the life to come. The personality and attitudes we have developed do not represent temporary qualities but rather do they furnish the foundation upon which we must continue to build. During the past four years we have increased our knowledge, developed our personalities, broadened our interests, and enlarged our outlooks on life. We have long been familiar with Bennetts creed and motto in which we place our trust and our faith- The best is yet to be. PRIIPHEEY HARRY WHITNEY Time: 1950. Place: Buffalo. Scene: Professor's den, dimly lighted as curtain opens. Lights up. Professor is dozing as Catherine Loeffler and Ed. Gaskin enter and awaken him. Ed. Hello, Professor, we're on our way to Wash' ington so we thought we'd drop in for a chat about some of our old school mates. Prof. Well, well, Ed. Gaskin and Casey Loeffler. How have you been? Sit down and make yourself comfortable. fThey sit., What have you been doing, Casey? Casey. jean Klinck and I are designing bottle labels for Morry Garfinkle and Ed. Linder's Dairy. Prof. Oh. I didn't know they were in the dairy business. Casey. Sure. For three years now Bill Eagle, Jerome Edelstein, Ed. Irvin, Milton Etengoff, john Fahey, Leo Faust, and Tom Crean have been driving Orange 6? Blue milk wagons for the Company. Ber' nard Beach and Bill Chapman operate the bottle' capping machine and Walter Brown, Victor Cole, Gerry Critoph, and Vorhis Day wash and sterilize each bottle by hand. Ed. Al. Leous just came back from Alaska where be has been hunting for furs for his store. Dan Myers just got his embalming degree and is a pro' fessional undertaker. The last time I was at Crystal Beach, Sam Stewart and Warren johnson were sell' ing tickets for the merry'go'roundg jack Donovan was running a hot dog stand next to the Crazy House, Bob Quinn is customs inspector at the pier, and Bob Burns shovels coal for the little train. Fred Brown, Bob Carlson, Bill Boyle, Dick Bambam, and Ben Amsden make up the hard'boiled crew on the Carzadiaria. Prof. I received a letter from the Reverend Stanley B. McCullogh the other day, who says he has just been given a church through the efforts of Bishop Thomas johnson. Harold Frey is going to be the organist and will conduct a choir consisting of Bill Welch, Jim Hoff, Bob Matters, Bernard McTague, and Bill C'Shea for male voices, and Phylis Gress, Betty Goembel, Ruth Herman, Marjorie Huston, and Helen Putney as the better half. Ed. Say, Prof., whatever became of that Swedish Nightingale, Eleanor Weber? fEntrance Elinor, singingj Prof. Well, Eleanor, maybe you can tell us about some of the old thirty'niners. Eleanor. Well, I've been at the Metropolitan Opera for seven years now and Bob Janes has been in his old role as stage manager for five years. His crew consists of Bob Nenno, Fred Michels, Ludwig Kou- gal, and Bob Erkert. Tom McMahon directs the orchestra, Wm. Betts plays a tuba, Charles Dewitz plays a sousaphone, Torn Dobbins plays the oboe, Ed. Fisher plays fife, Harry Folts and Bob Ford play piccolos, and Wally Fergueson plays the harp. Rosalie Hall sells tickets at the entrance, and Bob Garrow collects them inside. Antoinette Aquilino sings the lead in the Saturday matinee opposite Bob Helfrick. Casey. Nancy jackson, the society reporter, says that jean Woodward and Beatrice Woodard, society leaders, always bring the following to your perform' ances: Eunice Suttner, the pearl collector, and debu' tantes Virginia jackson, Marshia Beyer, Peggy Pamler, and Bill Fergueson, society playboy. Elinor. Now that you've mentioned society, it re' minds me that I must attend the garden party at Dorice VanEpp's country estate this afternoon. 'Bye, 'bye. fExit Eleanorj Prof. The 1950 faculty list arrived today, suppose we see if we know anybody on it. Ed. Oh, look: Betty Fernandez is a gym teacher, here's Grace Grant teaching grammar school. Casey. Yes, Gloria Maggorie and Lila Hoffheins teach singing, Mary Jane Kleuck teaches shorthand. Prof. Margaret Manning teaches dramatics and there's Betty Meister as dancing teacher. Ed. Oh, yes, her former pupil, June Kraft, now dances at the Sugar Bowl with Joe Pellerite. Casey. Al Mack is their press agent. Prof. Does jack Millhoifer still run the Sugar Bowl? Ed. Why, nog he sold it to Dick Schnell who now runs it under the title of Meet the swells, at Schnell's. Casey. I was in there the other night and saw Chester Hoben's tap'dancing group composed of Bud Schenk, Charlotte Martin, jean Morrell, Tom Miller, Richard Jennings, and Marylyn Peacock. Prof. Speaking of dancing, Arthur Murray Moyce has opened a dancing school and has hired Cleo Hall, Harvey Nevalls, Virginia Chapman, and Elinor Dalky as teachers. Doris Mulholland played piano for the dancing until Dick Schmidle sold them a Nickelodian manufactured by that famous company, Swartz, Swartz, Swartz, and Schwertg john, Mervin, Bob, and Kenneth, respectively. They buy all their records from the Grieble E? Grossman Record Co. Ed. Speaking of records, Johnny Laird broke the swimming record at the Kensington Wading Pool thanks to the management of Sandy Reisman. Prof. Did Bob Moesch continue his swimming career? Casey. Well, here he comes nowg let's ask him. fEntrance Moeschj Bob. Did I hear my name mentioned? Prof. Yes-we were just wondering whether or not you continued your swimming career. Bob. No, I didn't. When I left school I started the Moesch Munchy Marshmallow Company, together with Bob Browning. We're located down on Mich' igan Avenue next to Milton Freidman Ei Ed Fuch's Chop Suey Restaurant. They do a pretty good busi' ness with Len Gorsky as their advertising manager and Bob Grant as their chef. jean Koehler, Anita Kramer, and Dot Kruger wait tables and Anna Lang is the cashier. Ed. Can't get away from the old gang, eh? Bob. Say, get away, why on the way to work every morning, I pass Bill Boyle's Barber Shop and has he ever got an outfit. Dick Baker, Ken Boller, Joe Bush, and Bob Callan have been cutting and pulling hair for him for five years now. Don Perry has been with him for two years this coming June, shin' ing shoes, and Bill Moore and Chester Moorhead of the Moore E? Moorhead Hair Tonic Co. have been supplying them since they opened. Casey. That reminds me, Silvia Greenbaume runs a beauty shop next door to Joe Helfer's Glue Factory, and she has Marjorie Goodman, jean Haynes, and Virginia Hermanson working for her. Norma Brunf ner is the manieurist and Colin Le Feuvre is her hair stylist. Prof. I hear that the Van Dermeulen Press is boom' ing now too. Howie edits a fine magazine called The Whys and Wherefores of Life. Joe Parks and Art Zwiersehke, his associate editors, are a great asset to the company also. Charlyn Fisher is the advertising manager, Nancy Lee Smith is circulation manager, Arline Farber and Warren Wightman are the literary editors, Eileen Franks handles the Art Department, and Dorice Parks is Howie's private secretary. Marian Lebo designs covers for the magaf zine with the great help of Ed Karnofski and Harrif son Bush, and Guy Rindone takes care of all the photographs. Betty Feuchter and Betty Tashenberg write edi- torials while Jean Vawter boosts circulation by send' ing Art Hausknecht, jim Jimenez, Dick Jones, and Martin Kiel out as district heads. Ed. Doesn't Frank Keleman, Bill Kirchgessner, and Marven Kirchoff drive Howie's trucks? Bob. Yes, they do, and did you see the sky writing, advertising the magazine, done by Anne Russ? She always did want to be a trick flyer. It's too had she lost her record to Beatrice Bahn back in '48. Prof. They tell me Phil Damm is a successful busi- ness man now too. Bob. Yes, he's head of the C. I. O. local 21. Casey. Helen Jacobson has charge of an employ' ment bureau and so far has sent Mary Ann Kline, jean Klipfel, Eleanore Melonia, and Mary Margaret McDonald all out into the business world. Bob. Well, I've got to get back to the office to close a deal with Bob and Bill Schreiber concerning the Brew Masters' Ball. Drop around sometime. fChorus of good-bye, etc., goes offj Ed. What did you think of the circus last month, Prof? Did you see it? Prof. Yes, I saw it. Were you both there? Ed. and Casey. Sure, we wouldn't have missed it for the world. Casey. Did you see Bill Reid and George Diestol feeding and watering the elephants? Ed. Yeah, and Don Reideman and Bob Trimmer were putting on their clown makefup while I was talking to the tall man, Gunner Hanson. Prof. Ora Kibler was lifting 200 lb. weights in the side show and Howard Baumler was letting elef phants stand on his chest while Fenton Harrison and Harry Cook were playing catch with cannon balls. Casey. Did you see Betty Antram Smith ride bare' back in the big top? She must have learned that from the riding club of Bennett. Prof. Let's try and remember some of the ones who graduated back in '39 and see if we know what they're doing. Can you think of anyone, Ed? Ed. Well, let's seegHarry Bame wrote a History book-ah-Bill Bender-he's manufacturing pretzels now-jack Ehrenburg is a street car conductor for the I. R. C.-Bob Fergueson, let's see, I think he teaches typing at Bill Harrington's Typing School-- then there's Paul Garonef-he's head of the S.P.C.A. here in townfhow 'bout some of the girls? Can you think of any, Casey? Casey. I'll try-I think Audrey Deuchter is a dress' maker-Janet Dickinson and Adele Cantor are in Social Welfare work--Connie Church is in charge of the Buffalo Public Library, I know-Sally Collins is head of the Campfire Girls--Shirley Fisher, I know, works in the 5 E? 10 cent store downtownf -Y Chris Gibson takes pictures for Click magazine. That's about all I can think of right now. Ed. If I remember correctly, Bill Campbell is an insurance collector, Bud Jones is the golf pro at the miniature golf course at Crystal Beach, Bob Perry has charge of the Davis Cup matches in Buffalo, Abe Goldfarbe, Irv Greenbaum, and August Gold' enberg run a clothing store, Norm Weber owns a cleaner's establishment, and Frank Sword is a hall monitor at the City Hall. I'll see if I can remember some more . . . Prof. Bill Regan teaches sewing at the Buffalo Sem, Art Mason is the keeper of the Buffalo Zoo, Bud Pierce is head of the Altar Boys' Guild for Western New York, Tom Robert's talent has won him a position in one of Major Bowes' units, and Rowland Werner runs a radio store. Ed. Radio S- that reminds me, did you hear Art Richtand's program with Alice Law, the other night? fEnter Alice and Art, Art. What about our program? Didn't you like it? Ed. Well, here he is in person with the better half of the program, Alice Law . . . Hi, kids. QHellos, etc.j Prof. How's your program going, Art? Art. Not bad, not bad 'tall. How 'bout it, Alice? Alice. It'd be better if that crazy announcer Ed. Russell only knew what he was talking about. We're sponsored by Bob Seitz's Perfume Co. and it makes Ed. talk through his nose. Art. Really though, we've got a pretty good prof gram. Last week we had a Stump the Experts program with Frank Carrig, Andy Keller, Dexter Shiomi, and Dell Stokes, and boy! are they smart. We gave them questions from Bob Howe's book on HighfSehoology and they sure knew their stuff. Paul Garono works in the control room with Mat- thew Gallagher. Maybe that's why the program doesn't sound so hot. jim Herbert sings cowboy songs with his guitar every afternoon at 5 :30. Casey. Who writes your scripts for you, Art? Art. Why, Art Crout, Bob Day, and John Dwyer have been writing together and Don Gardiner writes all the music scores. Alice. We couldn't go on the week before last due to the Donald HardyfWallaee Barnes fight. Lee Miles refereed that match and I think it was the biggest spectacle of the season. fConti11u.cd on page 801 lllll Esther Ruth Abrams will take an Arts course at Wheaton College.

After the winter sports, Bennett led East hy only three points, hut the annual Orange victory in Track, that hardftof take second in Basehall, and a practically assured second in Tennis, have clinched allfaround honors once more. ALL-HIGH SWIM MEET Bennett 26, East 22, South Park 21 The favored Bennett mermen, needing only a third place to retain the Syracuse Cup, came through as expected in the AllfHigh meet to add nine more points to our Williaims Cup total. .lim Lemon got the team off to a line start with his surprise second place in the forty freestyle, missing Allfl-ligh honors hy inches. Johnny Laird regained his hreaststroke crown rather easily to send the Orange team into a temporary lead. ln the Zilllfyd. freestyle a Bennett man furnished the second surprise of the day when Dave Wcarley who had not even heen expected to qualify, scored a hardfearned third place. In the hundred free, undefeated Boh Browning turned in the hest time of the year to keep his record intact and give the Bennett team five more points. Boh Brooks oh' tained another unexpected point hy placing fourth in the fancy dive. Our two relay teams hrought the meet to a sucf cessful close with the defending champion and record hreaking medley team composed of Brown' ing, Laird, and Bill Hein again topping their event Moesch, Feuerstein, Riggs, and Lemon placing in near record time and the l60fyd. team of fourth. BASEBALL Bennett 4, McKinley 0 The Bennett hasehall team won the chanipionf ship of League l hy defeating McKinley in a tie playoff game. The Orangemen gave Bill Mack a onefrun lead in the first inning of the game and this alone would have heen enough for Bill to notch one of the most impressive wins seen this season. He let the slugging Ivlaekmen down with only three scattered hits as he completely avenged himself upon the vocationalists for causing his only defeat of the regular season-Ya lastfinning accident!

Mack pitched fourfhit hall. struck out five and walked none. Spahn allowed three hits, struck out six and walked two. Each team committed four errors. But here is the story of how the game was lost. The first Spark score was the result of secondf inning errors hy Maischoss and Ketzer. Trailing lffl in the fifth, Reilly walked, Russell delivered a crucial single to left and eventually hoth runners scored on ground halls from the hats of Mack and Connors. But in the last half of the same inning, Goldenherg let Spahn's fly hall hounce away, and with two out, Nesselhush and Erickson singled and the former scored the winning run on a passed hall. Mack's pitching was the only consoling note of the sordid affair. He deserves an AllfHigh designaf tion for his consistent work in the face of the greatest ohstaclcs.

Lefty Lee Miles won the second game handily hchind a tremendous hitting harrage led hy Joe Nelson and Hal Connors. Bennett 2, Lafayette 1 Bennett 5, Hutchinson 1 ln the second week of the hasehall campaign, the Bennett hitters faced two of the hest rival pitchers in the league. However, in two tight hurling duels, Bill Wilcimx hested Lafayette's Schneider and Bill Iwiack carved his second win of the series at the expense of Hutch's Hofmann. Wilcimx was given his winning margin lwy Bus Goldcnherg and Al Reilly, who smote successive home runs in the third inning. Knohhy Ketzer and .loc Nelson sparked an Orange and Blue offensive which took fullest advantage of seven Hutch mis' cues afield. McKinley 8, Bennett 7 Bennett 18, Riverside 10 The Orangemen finished the regular season lied for first place in League One as they split their last two games. Wheii Miles Nhlewi' an early lead in the sixth inning against McKinley, Mack was called upon to save the game for Bennett. Bill pitched superhly until, with two out, an umpire's decision placed the tying run on first. Immediately Loucks homered and the game was lost. In the Riverside game, Bennett batters were determined to obviate the possibility of another late-inning defeat. Every regular in the starting lineup made at least two hits and Ketzer smacked four. After scoring six runs in the fourth and eight more in the sixth, the game was clinched for NVilcox, who saved Mack's third victory. TENNIS The Bennett netmen rang up a 4f1 victory over Tech in their first start of the season. An upset at the second singles post gave the Engineers their lone tally against a most promising Orange team. In their second appearance the boys wielded some pretty mean racquets in Riverside's direction and took down a neat 5fO decision, the score that counts most toward the Park Club trophy. Bennett next defeated Kensington, 4f1, before a record crowd of 175, which included nigh onto a dozen loyal Bennettonians. A distinct upset, this time at Hrst singles, again prevented the Orange' men from copping one of those coveted 5f0 vie' tories. The rest of the team, however, came through in straight sets, and a good match was promised against their next opponent, East, thus far the uteam to beat. With the aid of the trunk in Manager Perry's coupe, the team journeyed out to farfoff Houghton Park for the muchfanticipated East match. Briefly, East won three points and Bennett won two. An Orange victory was narrowly missed when Art Richtand finally bowed to last year's champion, Strzyzewski, by the thrilling count of 1043, 2f6, 9f7. And so, East appeared to be Hxed in first place, with the Orangemen three points behind in second. The boys from Bennett absorbed a 32 beating from an unexpected source at the hands of the South Park netters. The alert Sparks capitalized on the breaks in the first singles, and barely nosed out both Orange doubles teams. However, Bennett kept two points ahead of Lafayette in the battle for second place as the Violets lost all five points to East. Another 30. setback was administered by the defending champions, Lafayette. As in the East match, victory barely slipped out of the Orangef men's grasp, when our first doubles team was def feated in three sets. Felthausen and White, at second doubles, and Kamprath, at third singles, again captured Bennett's two points. The Orange netmen registered their second 541 win of the campaign, over Grover Cleveland. Benf nett lost no ground in the league standings, with the team hitting accurately and dropping only one set. TRACK Bennett 65, Hutch 22, Tech 21 In its first triangular meet of the season, the Ben' nett track team had little trouble toppling over the opposition to score the second win of the season. First places were won by Ken Schwert in the high hurdles, Don Pellow in the hundred, Dave Davis in the quarter, Norm Elanigan in the low hurdles, jack Lundrigan in the high jump, james Dukes in the pole vault, Bob Moesch in the shot put, and the relay team composed of Good, Pellow, Mc' Olure, and Holzman. Bennett 551f3, South Park 441f3, EC1Sf In the last preliminary meet before the AllfHigh finals the Bennett track team had one of the closest shaves in the ten years it has held the Scalp and Blade Cup. With the Sparks leading up to the final event, the pole vault, the Orange's perfect record was none too secure. But the vaulters were able to sweep the event and put the North Nlainers on top. Eirst places for Bennett were won by Don Pellow in the hundred, Bill Good in the 220, Norm Elanif gan in the low hurdles, ,lack Lundrigan in the high jump, Bob Moesch in the shot put, and finally Dan Reddine in the pole vault to cop the meet.

Another year gone by now, and again the Seniors, the creamQ?J of the crop, are leaving. Well, we shan't weep, it's much too warm. More' over, the Juniors appear to be as adept as for more thanj their predecessors in all sports. We hope they live up to their promise. Now that summer has come, nearly all our Ben' nettoniannes have become great sportswomen, re- gardless of their capacities. Oh, what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days is the prevailing sentiment and in the minds of the girls the days in June are perfect days for swim' ming, riding, tennis, badminton, and hiking. There have been hikes to Williamsville, Amherst Estates, the Peace Bridge, and Lincoln Park. Even though the hikers were exhausted after covering so much mileage we are sure that the weariness must have been accompanied with a sense of satis' faction fany girl is interested in losing a few pounds, you knowj. Then too, everything must have been wonderful . . . grass, trees, flowers, bees, ants, street, tired feet fnow don't be facetious, therej. The great event in the life of a Bennett sports- woman is the day on which she receives her gold B. Sad to relate, this great event figured in the lives of only a few Seniors this year. These select few, clad in glistening white and wreathed in smiles, received the coveted awards on June 6th, Girls' Letter Day. They were: Doris Drummer Barbara Stephenson Elizabeth Wollschlager Jean Morrell Virginia Noller Reta Engelhardt Catherine Maguire Virginia Ruehl Mary Ellen Carrig Congratulations to the only Seniors willing to give up many hours to hard work for athletic awards! And it means four whole years of after- school work to receive a gold B. There were a great many more who received four hundred point letters which represent three years of work, and we hope they go right on to receive their B's next year. These young hopefuls are: Katherine Carrig Jo Swerdfiger Carmen Tillinghast Doris Hauser Jean Dillenbeck Marjorie Meyer Marion Domedian Mary McCarley Joan Nehin Harriet Blanchard Ruth Rial Barbara Maitland Betty Maitland Frances Lang Ruth Eaton Lois Schroeder Jeanne Jerge Dorothy Stephenson MARY BELLINGER MARIAN TURNBULL Geraldine Schmahl Ethel Israel Jeanette Dumke Martha Torge Keen competition and good sportsmanship feaf tured the intrafhomeroom baseball games this year. The final game was between two teams humorously titled F and NJ . J , as we later discovered, a pseudonym for homeroom 207, emerged victorious from the fray. The score fprosaic thingj was iiff teen to five. Miss Roberts, Mrs. Strunk, and Miss Paulin se' lected two major teams from all those competing in the other games, which played two games, one on May 11th and another on May 16th. The Orange team overwhelmed the Blue on both occaf sions with 18 to 6 and 13 to 12 scores. The teams were composed of the following girls: Orange Carmen Tillinghast, capt. Joan Nehin Shirley Newman Janet Goldstein Betty Campbell Doris Hauser Betty Andert Ethel Marshall Shirley Spinney Ethel Israel Substitutes: Dagmar Fisher Ruth Teichert Blue Jo Swerdfiger, capt. Elizabeth Hopkins Dolores Pieper Edith Schoenborn Doris Drummer Harriet Le Pine Patricia Russell Mary Carrig Louise Leyland Substitutes: Betty Grabau Marian Domedian Margery Olah Ruth Taublieb The mermaids of the deep blue sea are being troubled with competition from our own acquatic stars. However, the Juniors should receive all the laurels since they have not lost a meet. First, they defeated the Freshmen by a score of 4243. Next, the Sophomores were vanquished, 43f12. Lastly, they set out to conquer the Seniors, which they did, 39f11. The Junior team is captained by Jean Dillenf beck with the following girls on the team: Harriet Blanchard Doris Hauser Ruth Rial Josephine Swerdfiger Barbara Maitland Mary Meinecke Betty Maitland Jean Hoefner Alice Nagy Jane Heywood The last achievement of Mrs. Petzing's protegees was the Water Carnival which was held after school on Girls' Letter Day. This year they decided to cash in on their prowess and charge for admisf sion. However, the affair was superfperfect and well worth the pricc. In closing, we want to thank all the gym teachers - Miss Roberts, Mrs. Strunk, Miss Paulin, and Mrs. Petzing for their assistance and cooperation in giving us material for this column. Also, we cerf tainly appreciate the efforts of Lois Schroeder and Joan Nehin who get our votes for next year's editorship fif that means anythingj. So long, M. T. and M. B.

There were discussions, a quiz, music, a scavenger hunt, jim Wilstiii who spoke on foothall and a Mi'. Victor Fischer who spoke on New Zealand. Their outside activities included a dance at Central l'reshyterian Church, a sleighfride, ushering on parents' night, and the sponsoring of the BennettfRiverside foothall game. The hoys have derived a great deal of enjoyment and education from this cluh, 'A' ak ir RIDING CLUB This eluh has the good intentions of meeting every Thursday. Despite the faet that they have missed a few meetings, Miss Daly, their faculty advisor, is still patient, Fortunately, the organization does not have much husiness to transaet heeause most of their work is confined to the delightful sport of riding, Every Saturday morning, the weather permitting, these optiinists go out to the l'arlvSpur Stahles for an hour of endurance. Une group rides from nine to ten and the other group from ten to eleven. There is no initiation provided for new meinhers, as the fellow equestrians feel that the horses can do a hetter joh than they can. Some prefer a gentle trot, some a hrisk canter and some go in for a killerfdiller gallop, Despite their mishaps, they have a grand time and hecause of this the eluh is sure to continue its popularity.

' ' ' COMMERCE CLUB The Commerce Cluh is one whose aim and purpose is to so acquaint its memhers with hasic amd fundamental husiness principles that they may more readily orient themselves with conditions in the husiness world.

I it A' 'A' SENIOR IERENCII CLUB This club was composed of about fifty members who were aided by Mlle. hlassonge, their capable faculty advisor. Part of each meeting was devoted to increasing their general knowledge of the French language and French habits and customs. The members enjoyed singing modern French tunes, playing exciting games, and discussing France of today. At one meeting, the unique idea of modeling French monuments from clay proved to be extremely interesting, At the Christmas party, a Santa Claus distributed a present to each member. The programs have included such features as slides pertaining to Paris, colored movies of all of France, a spelling bee, and the solving of crossfword puzzles fwhich is quite a diilicult task when using French wordsj, To conf clude the activities for the year, the club has planned a picnic at Delaware Park, at which time the ollicers for the coming year will be elected. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB Since this is one ol' the largest clubs in Bennett, an interesting crossfseetion of opinion is provided in their discussions ol? foreign affairs. Mr. Turner has been the helpful faculty advisor. During the year they chose such topics as the SudetenfGerman situation: the place of England and France in world atfairsg Italy's attitudeg and the I.atinfAinerican countries. They conducted a membership drive. rewrote their constitution, enjoyed a midfterm party, and have faithfully kept up a bulletin board outside of 224. They were the guests of the ll, B. International Relations Club. This organization provides an outlet for thoughts and an opportunity for the exchange of ideas. ir if 'A' ty Q res. lj, Tashenberg tllres. IJ, Lot: tSec.

Their common lovc of del'-ating led them into many deep and interesting topics: among which The Immigration Quota and A11XCflC2l,S place in the world race for refarmament were outstanding. However, we must not feel that such serious topics constituted their entire eluh activity. They often hranched off on dehates concerning light suhjects, such as a discussion of wooden shoes. We all admire this intcllecf tual group of students who have the amhition to voluntarily join a cluh of this nature which demands a great deal of time, thought and patience to make its meetings a success. ir ir mi' Bennett, Bennett, rah, rah, rah! And with every hit of pep and enthusiasm they can muster, our cheerf leaders spur us on to victory or a gallant defeat. Not just once, hut for every game, every sport assemhly, every gathering of any kind where their homhastic driving force is needed, we find them giving their all, We sec them on the stage pleading with us to let loose at least a little whisper, anything to prove that their work is not in vain. But as usual, we sit hack and let them yell and we just watch. Of course, mayhe it is more fun that way hut after all the time they put into learning the cheers and their efforts to put them across to us, a slight smile is hardly a just way of repaying them. So here's a cheer for the cheerleaders! 'K' i' 'K Diestel, Vvihitney, Reid. l lfrxt row l'atter:,on Qliresj, loinsii QVicefPres,j, Railaen lTrcas 1 lord Q5ec.J, Kranz l5g.

BADMINTON CLUB The Badminton Club, a new club organized just last fall, immediately set up in room 331, where the mem' bers spent ever so many enjoyable hours playing this fascinating game. The club was split up into two groups of about 15 members each, who met on alternate weeks. It was surprising to discover that the beginners learned the game easily and soon provided keen competition for the more experienced players. The club appreciated the guidance of Miss Dunham and Miss Hodges, who served as faculty advisors. The members feel that the enjoyment derived was well worth their time, and their constant and vigorous effort was not in vain as it developed their mental capacity, increased their physical endurance, and taught them the priceless lesson of good sportsmanship. But regardless of their apparent enthusiasm, it may be that the whole thing is just a racket with them. ir 'A' ik From the serious expressions on the faces of some of this club's members, one would almost believe that they didn't enjoy wielding this manly looking weapon. But don't be misled, they are merely trying to look fierce, in keeping with what they would have us believe their club meetings are. However, with such faculty advisors as jovial Mr. Mineo and Mr. Murphy, it is very difficult for us to believe this. The rather coy look on Mr. Mineo's face is due to the fact that he was tricked into having his picture taken, but that's the way with this club, just one happy family. Instructing them in the art of fencing skillfully Qwell, at least feneingj is David Metzger with Clifford Bates his able assistant. In teaching them this sport, they have also assisted them in acquiring grace, poise, timing and precision which will bc of constant use to them in later life, FENCING CLUB First row li e u c li t, Korn fTreas.J, S li arp 1Vieef Presb, lvlineo tfloaehj, Schuh fSec.j, Metzger fPres.J, Second ron' Farrar, Stewart, Herbert, Feldman, Stokes.

'A' 'A' 'A' Let this issue go on record as being one to have a definite theme, an administration section, and such features of style and form as cercla binding and covers in contrasting colors. The number of students who, in some way, have contributed to its making, is the largest in many years. The editors are grateful to each and every one for his careful work and fine cooperation throughout the year. We are particularly indebted to Stuart Kaufman, Carmen Tillinghast, Norma Coley, Suzanne King, Peggy Palmer, Howard Baeumler, and Rita Wittiiig, who, although not regular staff members, were called into service to assist with the writing and typing of the Senior paragraphs. A special word of praise must be given, also, to Leonard Ruben for his pen portraits of the Senior Officers. Lastly may we express our sincere appreciation to Mr. Farrar, and our advisors: Miss Muntz, Mrs. Adair, Mrs. Hagen, Mr. Mahoney, Miss Robinson and Mrs. Smering. Their willing and capable assistance is typical of the true Bennett spirit which prevails in all phases of school life. A word in closing. In the 1939 B1sAcoN we have attempted to create, not a perfect magaf zine, but one which is representative of our and your school. If this yearbook borders upon your interests, our efforts have achieved a fair measure of success. MAJOR STAFF HONXARD VAN DERMEULEN . . . Ifdirorfm-Clnef -IOSEPH PARKS , . . ARTHUR ZXXIERSCHKE .

Joe Mucha, after being disappointed in love, found another heart beat. It's our little nightinf gale, Eleanor Weber, who is warbling love ditties at our joe. just how many of our girls can resist him? The little red seat in the red convertible with the handsome Kenny Schultz residing in it seems to be filled very often by Dot Hamacher. Some people would like to know what happened to the jack ShanahanfBetty Augustine connection. If he's slipping the answer is at Syracuse Uni' versity. Bob Bernard At the Beacon Jamboree Bob Markell came fly' ing out of the ring. As he did so, Phil Hart was afraid of being hit. He started to run away, but then remembered his date, came back and then ran for the balcony. Marge Miller and johnny Egbert are seemingly a happy couple, and it cuts us to the quick to find they spend their leisure time putting lim' burger cheese in each other's lockers. Casanova Frank Bushardt has fallen for def hater Doris Drummer. He walks to school with her every morning and home again in the after' noon. It must be a wear and tear on their hearts and shoes. Tommy McMahon, that ace announcer, can't seem to make up his mind whether he likes Doris Van Epps, Teddy Robinson or Marge Wright the best. We know that the last two are just his staff of advisors, Doris is the real ONE. Miss Brettle had quite a time keeping track of her wandering 207 girls this year, but she has always seemed to discover them somehow. We wish to extend, from the bottom of our hearts, our gratitude for her kindness, patience and willingness to stand by us all in our troubles and moods. This is one of the foremost things that make it hard for us to leave the stately halls of Bennett High School. There are many beautiful features leaving our domains this year. For instance, think of Virginia ,Iackson's lovely flaxen hair illuminating a new Alma Mater. We might even see Doris Parks' lovely mouth smiling across hundreds of magazine pages and revealing her glistening white teeth as the key to romance. By the way Bob Stegman and his henchman, H. Wallens, voted in the senior polls, we would say Bctty Johannes is still tops with them. June Chambers said she would love to enter a nunnery and end all this wild life she's been lead' ing, but somehow we think she'll look just as well punching the time clock. . . . then there's the possible graduate studying his massive brains out for his exams when he knows darn well he lacks about Hve subjects. Once upon a time, long, long ago, Dotty Schmitt had a date with Nort Riggs. As they hopped into the car Nort said, Go about ten miles an hour -and Dotty slugged him. She didn't know he was kidding, but we know, don't we? Pinky Finkbeiner finds that his nineteenfyearfold line still produces results. just ask Casey Loeffler, who, by the way, still looks like Charley Mc' Garthy. just one for the books, Mae Boneberg's middle name is Darling. We're a little late, but here's a good one. At the last swimming meet someone asked Larry Hanavan for a ride home. Larry replied, I'm sorry but I have to take my girl friend home. We found out later that the girl friend was Betty Baumler. You haven't been kidding the staff about Davie, have you, Betty? A beautiful morn-a girl and a horse, both rarin' to go. That's Ann Hegelmayer who en' joyed a ride at the cavalry the other day. Her horse ran away, she was thrown, and she lost her boot. Oh, well, live and learn. Was Vic Lazarus trying to create an impresf sion with that Mortar Board and Gown that hc was a graduate? What impression did he get from his candid camera? See the impression that he has. The Hoch-Grebe affair is certainly blossoming. Thought-wonder if she'll be as beautiful as her sister. Oppy Leous Hnally confessed that he liked Fran Wolford just a little. We also hear that Russ Karnes is taking her out again. Anton Lester and jean Sears seem to be doing all right. But we hear she likes Dick Bevan too. How fickle. Perhaps the fellows take Natalie Buck out be' cause her family are deers, or maybe her father has a lot of doe. Besides, she's pretty nice. Although Jack Harmon thinks that Betsy Muelke is his girl, we're inclined to doubt it. Perf haps the reason is that she's a rival columnistMor because she doesn't keep her word. At a recent HifY meeting some girls were pres- ent and composed poems about the boys. Here's one: He looks like a tall drink of water He philanders much more than he oughter He's easy to tease And blushes with ease And likes Mr. Loeffler's daughter. Guess who? Bubs VVaterhouse has finally realized her great ambition - to ride around in a convertible. It seems that the steady, jim McGary, got wind of her desire and bought one . . . Oh happy day! What's this world coming to? Poor gales-Ruthie Boyd is pining away cuz her one and only is mov- ing to Syracuse, and its affected her so much, she's lost ten pounds over the matter. just wasting away to a mere shadow! When the Lundrigans were talking over their old pals, etc., someone mentioned jinny jackson. She would have been pleased to hear jack say in a hushed tone, She's beautiful! We admire your taste, jack. Uune Howard, Alice Nagy, etc.j THINGS THAT FATIGUE US SEVERELY 1. june Knight's Oh, I'm in love again! 2. Those vapid ham sandwiches wrapped in cellophane, which, contrary to the opinion of our dieticians, do not improve with age. 3. Jack Bird's extremely toney shirts. Their vermillion intensity is provoking to the eye! 4. People who say happily, How many did ya flunk this time? 5. Irwin Hamburgers extension vocabulary. Too, too, great a strain on the brain. A Blues Flash! . . . Helen Matters and Danny Meyers-to the great delight of the Bennett male population are not steadying it anymore! Jean Klinck, the charming little blond of 207, confides that her romance with Bob QStarj Brown' ing is very, very, very platonic. Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Bob fTake it or leave it, Bernard is again on the loose. Incidently the origin of his middle name is an interesting story. Jimmy Dukes is to quote, Robbing the cradle, but we think it's much preferable to stealing an inmate of the Old Ladies' Home. Well, seriously gang-we know that every sen' ior says he'll be glad to get out--rebut then on graduation night-we all aren't so clear-eyed as we should be. Perhaps our future years will be as joyful as those just past- The Best is Yet to Be. Betty, Marge and Bob. Above lvloesch, Vw7ende, Hudson. Abo'uefLundrigan, Browning. Right - Dukes, Gaskin. A perfect lady, that's Nancy jackson. She's the kind of a girl that can get along with anyone, for her pleasing personality is so captivating that the Bennett Players, Fencing Club, I. R. C., the Student Council of 207, and the Student Assembly have all claimed her as one of their best members. Even with all this on her mind, Nance has found time to make every honor roll and win a scholarship to Elmira, where she will study to become a librarian. She rates two ambitions in life, one to write long historical novels, and the other to meet a fellow by the name of Michael. You've probably seen her numerous times around school, perhaps as a frequent inhabif tant of the BEACON office, or perhaps hurry' ing about her duties connected with her numerous school activities. lvlany of us know Arlene Farber as a real friend, and have sought thc advice which she so gcnerf ously gives. But, in addition to this capacity for being a real friend, Are has a long list of school activities, and prominent among them are her membership in the players, IRC, presidency of the Philomaf thians, cofchairmanship of the Jamboree, and cofliterary editorship of the BE.-xCoN. Wheii asked about her preferences, and plans for the future, she admitted a fondf ness for the nickname Slug and informed us of hcr plans to major in Journalism at Oberlin. Marjorie W671dC'S pleasant personality and winning manner are but two of the qualities responsible for her election as Vice' president of the senior class. Mzirge is very athletic, and likes riding, as evidenced by her membership in the Riding Club. She is also a member of the 'Sophians, Legion, and is head hall monitor. Marge has won a scholarship to Syracuse, where she will study to be a fashion illustrator. Ineidenf tally, fellas, Mzirge thinks that a man's place is in the home. The treasurer of the graduating class, Bob Browning, has created a record at Ben- nett of which he may well be proud. Bob has been on the Circulation Staff of the BIS.-xCoN, Treasurer of the 'Sophians, head hall monitor, and Treasurer of the Legion of Honor. He has also participated in tennis, track, and swimming. Bob was rather retif cent when we interviewed him, but we were able to discover, by the information from his friends, that he has a smooth personf ality and loads of charm. Bob is going to study engineering at Yale next year, and, judging from his past record, success is inf cvitablc for him. Above Stephenson, Farber. Some undehnablc quality- perhaps it's his friendly grin, has made fimmie Dukes one of the most popular boys in the senior class. Proof of this is his election as Presif dent of the graduating class, Treasurer of the Hi-Y, President of the Legion of Honor, and a member of the 'Sophians To top this off, the versatile Jimmie excels in track cross country, and high marks. If the fine record Jimmie has made at Bennett is any indication of the future, jimmie's ought to be a successful one. 9 Eleanor Weber, Tommie to her friends, is anticipating a career either as a concert or radio singer. You remember her as the solo singer in Rhapsody and Rhythm, and as a member of the chorus groups in Some' thing Different and Sentiment and Swing. The greatest of Eleanor's achievements, however, is her recent placement of second in the cityfwide voice contest. Tommie is also an ardent baseball fan, and is active in several sports. Before entering Curtis Institute of Music, she will take a post' graduate course. fConlinucd on Page 8-H Left--jackson, Franks, Weber. E VV S lOIiN EGI ERT You who might glance through this column can see our style has changed for this commencement issue. In short-it is all jumbled up. However, it all comes as a necessity, for no one could squeeze into 900 words the events of the past year in any other form. Well, anyhow, do not be too critical in reading this. Do you remember the first week of school when the BEACON gave their Radio Review? If so, you will recall to mind the initiation of such talent as the Four Zekes, the Three Smoothies, and Ed Gaskin as the master of ceremonies. It was one way to start off the string of assemblies properly. Of course you also remember hearing such bril- liant speakers as Mr. Grisanti on Columbus Day, Dr. Bapst who spoke on Patriotism, stressing loyalty, respect and obedience, and our old friend Capt. Mellon, who gave us a fine tribute to Lincoln. We surely recall that inspiring man, our former principal, Mr. Rhodes, and his differentiating be- tween Illusion and Delusionf' Rabbi Nadich, link- ing Freedom and Religion, concluded by saying that the idea of the Brotherhood of Mankind as our basic religion is necessary for our free democ- racy. Our school was really very fortunate to have such speakers this year and a man who ranked among the best was Father O'Grady, of Canisius College, who talked about the most cherished of all our possessions, Mother. Then, too, at our assem- bly celebrating Boy Scout Week, everyone remem- bers that very spectacular entrance of our Mayor, Thomas Holling. In our periodical boys' letter days we associate the names of Art Powell, the basket- ball coach at the University of Buffalo, as well as jim Britt, a radio sports commentator. Again look- ing back to last October we see the presentation of the Williams Cup for the seventh consecutive time by that swell bunch of fellows, the Williams Alumni Association of Buffalo. Finally, our own Maxine Kahl and Bill Tayler deserve a first class congratulation for their singular work in the Mercer Contest. On the literary side of this season's activities, the Torch Bearers was a brilliant social satire that was a great success. Jeanne White, Sylvia Horwitz, Leslia Deutsch, Marie Tropman, Iris Drumb, Mar- tha Torge, Bob Moesch, Dick Woods, John Ken- nell, Parke Wright, Harry Whitney and Bob Janes gave an excellent performance. We must not forget to mention the cooperative work of the stage crew with jack Bird as Stage Manager and Ed Gaskin's success as the Business Manager. MARGERY MILLER Our public address system was extended to all class rooms this year. A part of the equipment was presented to the school by last year's graduating class and the rest was secured by the proceeds of the school play. Without a doubt this system has more than paid for itself in its convenience and aid to the faculty and students of Bennett. Rhapsody and Rhythm was Mr. Siebold's con- tribution to the year's musical presentations. Over one hundred students took a part in the ensemble. Among the musical-minded students who won honors in the solo contest of Buffalo were Eleanor Weber, George White and Patricia Condon. We must not forget the excellent work of the debate teams this year under the careful guidance of Miss Davis and Mr. Axlerod. Both our affirma- tive and negative debaters came out on top. The subjects debated were the proposed amendment to the Constitution for a six-year term of office for the President, and the question of the Philippine Inde- pendence. Now how about switching over to the current social activities? With the skating parties, dances and sleigh-rides, tickets have been in constant cir- culation, club treasuries have boomed or sagged as the case may be, and socially-minded students have been kept busy lining up good dates. Concerning the social events of the clubs, the Hi-Y has con- tributed a December sleigh ride, a January dance and a june picnic. The BEACON has sponsored several free dances, a skating party at Scott's and most important of all, its Jamboree. At this spec- tacular party everyone was constantly entertained either by Ronny Olsen's orchestra, the side shows or the boxing and wrestling matches. Of course we won't forget to mention the crowning of the queen of Bennett, Iris Hassler. The other clubs' activities included skating parties put on by the Photography Club and the hall monitors respectively and a dance given by the Spanish Club. At this latter, Clinton Beuhlman was master of ceremonies. The complete touch to a social year was added by the sorority and fraternity dances and the personal appearances of such bands as Richard Himber, jimmy Lunceford, Artie Shaw, Jimmy Dorsey, and Larry Clinton. Our congratulations to the class of 1940 who elected Virginia Burkhardt and William Fewkes as their two most outstanding classmen. Keep up the good work! As this is our final appearance we would like to wish all Bennettonians a Happy New Year with just a note of warning to next year's news editorsm- it is a tough job, but we had fun doing it. So long. MARGE AND JACK llllllll My friends or our friends! Do you realize that you will soon join the ranks of this group about which we slave so hard to find things that might be of interest to you? Let us recall last year this time. Everyone was congratulating Russ Sloan on his election to the class Presidency, and with this we naturally asso- ciate him with Jean Browning, Vice'President of the same class. Although we hear that Jimmy Holderbaum was to see Jean on May the 5th, we think that Russ and Jean are the same as ever. Among other romances of last year that are still going strong are: JenkinsfFinkbiner Qwe venf ture to say this as we just hired a new bodyguardj. Tropman'Rupley, they have stuck together through thick and thin. Things have been pretty black at times, as Charlotte is home from school sick in bed, and was not able to get up until just recently. We might add nice going, kids, keep up the good work. Flash! From Oberlin way. We hear that Shelly Smith broke a pool record. On the Q T, that's not all he's apt to break. By the way of the ngrapef vine he's going steady with a blonde Dan Cupid seems to be shooting his bow and arrow. Helen Hoffman frememberj from '37 has stopped flitting about and has become engaged to 'A' Art. Have you heard from any of our old class' mates within the last few years? Prof. Oh, yes. We were just discussing some of them. What do you hear about any of them? Alice. Every time we have to travel by train, Speed Casselman reserves us a private car on his new Bullet Railroad. Art. The last time we were in Hollywood, jack Collins was rehearsing a scene with Hedy Lamarr. He always was a killer for looks. Jerome Batt is starring opposite Shirley Temple in her latest. Alice.

The age of chivalry isn't dead yet. Bob Buden was with a group that made a thumb fhitch hike to yousej trip to the World's Fair. May brings plays out, down Wells Way. Marj. Schenk took part in one. Who knows, maybe we have an actress in our midst. For further info see Bob Moesch. Betty Gould is doing all right down Michigan Way, not only with the fellows but with the girls as she was elected to the Student Council. One of our earlier graduates has made some fine progress at Washington and Lee. I speak of Hugh P. Avery who was elected to the presidency of the Virginia State Oratorical Association, and just ref cently was asked to address a national women's organization. More progress! Phi Beta has claimed another swell fellow in Bob Zwierschke of the University of Rochester. In closing another year of the Alumni Column, it's our fondest hope that every year henceforth will bring bigger and finer news, carrying out Benf nett ideals to the outside world. We say goodbye to our friends, some we may never hear of again, others may rise to gleaming heights fated for them.

The first is that he doesn't like talkative women, and the second is that he likes bright blue convertible cars. Ray has made all honor rolls, has been ac' tive in track and cross country, is a member of the Legion, I'IifY, and the 'Sophians Besides all of this, he still finds time for his favorite hobbies, swimming and tennis. Ray intends to attend the University of Buffalo to take a prefdental course. Eileen Franks, art editor of the BEACON, has already distinguished herself in this field by recently win' ning first prize in the national safety poster contest. has also been active as a member of the 'Mathians, Photography club, and has participated in many art conf tests. Syracuse is the university in which Eileen has decided to conf tinue her arts course, and she will prepare there for her work as a magazine illustrator. Continue as you've done in the past, Eileen, and your aspirations should all materialize. jack Lundrigan has a record in athletics of which he can be justly proud. He has been out for track for four years, and received his major letter in football. Lundy also was president of the HifY, Treasurer of the Chess Club, and a member of the 'Sophians and the Photography Club. He intends to major in Chemistry at Middlebury College. We extend our sincerest wishes for your success, jack. Eddie Gaskin has participated in so many activities in his years at Bennett that it would take too much space to enumerate them all. That he is a leader in school activif ties is common knowledge around school, that he is a willing worker and cofoperative student is also common knowledge, but, to realize what a sincere and unselfish friend he is, one must know him person' ally. Eddie did a splendid job this year as treasurer of the 'Mathians, business manager of the play and BEACON, and as Cofchairman of the Jamboree. Those of us who know Eddie well, who have come in conf tact with his friendly personality, feel that if he applies even only a small part of the ambition he has displayed at Bennett to his inf tended business career, his aspira' tions will all materialize.
