On February seventeenth, 1957, Bennett High School lost a very dear friend. lt was at this time that Mr. Carl Walz, our assistant principal, was transferred to Riverside High School, where he will, in july, assume the position of principal. Mr. Walz first came to Bennett from East High School in September of 1952. He was graduated from Cornell University, and received his Master,s Degree in Education at the University of Buffalo. During the same year in which he became assistant principal of Bennett. Mr. VValz was also named principal of the Buffalo Evening High School. All of us shall remember Mr. VValz for his fairness, open-mindedness, sense ol humor, and very often those usecond chances. His was a trying and difficult task. Not only did he handle all discipline cases, but also all matters concerning attend- ance. He carried out these duties efficiently and conscientiously. As exacting as his work was, Mr. W'alz always found time for a smile of en- couragement and a few valuable words of advice. He was one of our most loyal Bennettonians. At all sporting events, school productions, and special programs, Mr. W'alz could always be found. He was proud of his students f as they were of him. NVQ wish him well in his present endeavor, knowing that success will always be his. At this time, as a token of our humble appreciation for his many valuable services. we dedicate our 1957 Bennett BEACON to our friend. Mr. Walz. FGREWORD Beauty surrounds us. There is beauty in the sky, in the air, on the earth, and beneath the seas. Indeed, some of God's creatures are so resplendently gorgeous that they take our breath away. The first thoughts suggested by the word beauty,', in fact, might be of a rose, or a humming-bird, or a rainbow. Let us ponder the conception of beauty a bit further. It exists in more commonplace things as well. It lies in spoken and written words and in a job well done. It can be found in deserted houses, on neon-lit streets at night, and in the harmony of factory assembly lines. There is beauty hidden even in plain things, a subtle beauty, whose appreciation requires higher sensitivity from us. So much of the beauty in our lives passes unnoticed. Who, for instance, takes time to consider the perfect symmetry of a leaf, the wondrous complexity of the human nervous system, or the corn- radeships that we shall remember long, long after we have left high school? And yet, are all three not beautiful? The latent beauty in life must be crystallized for us, for a life without full awareness of it is in- complete. To fulfill this need for an exponent, to reveal concealed beauties and increase our aware- ness of those we see - that is the function of the artist. He interprets on canvas the impressions his unusual acuity brings him. If he paints well, we who see the Finished work are made aware of something beautiful. Our lives are enriched, made fuller. At Bennett, just as everywhere else, there is unnoticed beauty, we should not depart from high school without a realization of the beauty that is Bennett. The pages of this BEACON are the canvasses on which we have attempted to paint the portrait of Bennett High School. We have tried to show the school at its best, emphasizing those features which make us proud of our Alma Mater. We present the 1957 Bennett BEACON in the hope that the reader will perceive the beauty around him and gain increased appreciation of it. Let us always be reminded that Bennett High School and our experiences there were beautiful. Thomas Klein 3111 Pmnriam Not all of us were acquainted with Margaret Revill during her lifetime. She was definitely an asset not only at home among her family, but also here at Bennett. Although only a Freshman, she was well on her way to becoming an out- standing Bennettonian. In addition to her being very bright and an honor student, she was also athletically inclined. Attending after school sports, she was to receive her letter on May 14. God took Margaret from our midst on April 9th, She may not be with us physically, but her memory will always remain. Those of us who knew her have been enriched by the experi- ence. Our feelings as a whole can perhaps best be expressed by the following lines: Her suffering ended with the day, Yet lived she at its close, And breathed the long, long night away In statue-like repose. But when the sun, in all his state, Illumed the eastern skies She passed through Glory's morning gate, And walked in Paradise. TABL XmuX1xsTRM TOY Sy NIXORL.

To many a student. the Guidance Office is the most important and best-loyed place in Bennett High School. Away from the tediousness and routine ol' classes, the student is the Man ol' the Kloment. at least, in the Guid- ance Oflice. His problems can be taken there, usually left there. The prime concern ol' our able guidance counselors, Mr. Hill. Miss Nluntx, Mrs. Mattera. and Mr. Gilbert. is YOU, At various times during the school year, the Guidance Uflice endeavors to aid the student body as a whole in preparing for the lile alter high school. During thi: past school year this thought was put into action, as liornierly. with College Day. On November 13, 1956. 7+ representatives ol' 48 colleges and universities con- verged upon Hennctt High School. Each Junior and Senior could choose conferences ol' the colleges or uni- versities in which he or she was interested. The repre- sentatives then spoke to tl1e students about the prospec- tive colleges, The courses oflered, admission require- ments, costs, scholarships, and campus lile were discussed in an easy. informal manner, Any questions raised in the students' minds were readily answered by each repre- sentatiye.

Our subject, of course, is our high school education, both planned and incidental. Inas- much as we have not yet been separated from 'it, perhaps we are not now fully quali- fied to evaluate our past four years at Bennett objectively. However, since our com- ing graduation is the Hrst of many occasions which will compel us to do so, I shall attempt to summarize the reflections of my class at this time. Although most of us are only beginning to comprehend the true signincance of their part in our lives, we all wish to extend our most sincere thanks to our principal, Mr. Farrar, to the two assistant principals who have ably and amicably guided us, Mr. Walz and Mr. Miller, and especially to our teachers. A personal thank you, I am sure, is also given from the heart of each individual graduate to his parents. The only thanks that these devoted persons really want, however, is the satisfaction of knowing that they have played a part in the development of a good citizen and a well-adjusted man or woman. This can only be given them by our future lives. The benefits in respect to character, experience, and knowledge obtained here at Bennett are too abundant to enumerate now. Our schoolis excellent academic pro- gram, of course, has given us invaluable information and training. Equally important are the experiences we have had in this cosmopolitan institution, through extra- curricular activities and personal contacts, and the strengthening in us of such traits of character as co-operation, understanding, and the appreciation of the rights and opinions of others. With our graduation in a few weeks, the reality of our high school days ends, leaving only the memories. I offer this advice to all prospective graduates: Absorb as many memories as you possibly can of your life here, especially in these few Hnal weeks, for these recollections must serve you for the rest of your lifetimef' Few graduates will not cherish these memories, longing to recall more of both their serious and amusing experiences here. The stories of many of these experiences will be en- deared to us and embellished by the passage of time, as they are retold and relived. Until now, this class has been regarded chieHy as a unit. In these four years, we have achieved a certain degree of unity through close co-operation, but this unity should not be confused with mere uniformity. Allowing for differences in individuals, most of our lives have been similar up to this point. In a few weeks, however, our paths will separate, with each graduate pursuing his own goal. Although we shall probably keep in contact with the close friends we have made here, other classmates will never be seen again. Many acquaintances who have greatly influenced our lives will abruptly drop out of them. Although they will be replaced by others, we cannot help regretting this inevitable result of graduation. As we turn toward the future, most of us realize that high school is only the beginning. Whether we go directly into the world or first to college, there is much more to be learned, particularly in the school of experience. Although we may wonder about the future, when we shall have only ourselves to rely upon, we have every reason to look forward to what is ahead. Broad new horizons of knowledge and opportunity await us in life. Without a doubt, 'gThe best IS yet to bef' Kenneth Kreinheder 14 .K Rau' I: 'lf Klm-in, I.. lidm-lmzun, YliI'lll'k4'llllUI'l, S.

Everything is new and fresh, waiting for discovery. During the Sophomore, or summer year, the excitement wears off, and deep, richly colored memories are developed. Our Junior days are similar to autumn and we gather in knowledge, as the farmer gathers his golden harvest. The Senior year seems, at first, like a bleak, winter day, but soon we can see the approach of another new and exciting season. FRESHMEN 4 1953-1954 How vivid and fresh are our impressions of that first day at Bennett, as vivid and fresh as the colors of spring. After surviving the traditional hazing, we ran into a barrage of registration cards, white ones, yellow ones, all colors. Suddenly we were startled to hear a trumpet sound forth, followed by homeroom notices, and an an- nouncement stating, f'This is BBS, the Bennett Broad- casting Systemf' Of course, classes soon began and we were forced to find our way around the hallowed halls of Bennett. The upperclassmen were most helpful with f ' ln advice such as, Go down those stairs to the ca eteria After the first scrambled days, we had the opportunity to explore the innermost workings of our new home. We discovered the Student Council, and sent Dick Kulick to the Executive Committee, as our Freshman Repre- sentative. Tom Klein and George Strauss were among the first to discover the secret of study, and they arose from the multitude to lead the class in scholastic standing. En masse, we discovered, too, that Bennett has an as- sembly every week. During one of our first programs we were honored by the presence of Pruth McFarlin, an unusually talented tenor and a victim of infantile para- lysis. In November, Mr. John Sloan presented us with an interesting program on the effects of liquid air. To our amazement, by treating a banana with liquid air, he was able to use it as a hammer. He even drove nails into a piece of wood. Later in the year Dr. Harvey Rice, President of Buffalo State Teachers College started everyone thinking by asking, 'fAre you a thermometer or a thermostat? Then, to show our appreciation for all the assemblies we had enjoyed, we presented The Fresh- man Assembly of 1953-54! Many of us created skits, songs, and dances centering on Abe Lincoln. February brought 'fCarnival', time to Bennett fthe Variety Showj. Tom Hendricks, Peter Cormack, Judy Seyse, and Bernie Levine added their talents to this spectacular production. In girls' sports we frosh put up a noteworthy fight. We were runners-up in every sport. Our first year proved to be even more successful in the inter-school sports program. We won several games on the gridiron, and Bennett teams brought home the basketball trophy. We secured second place in the city baseball contest and one of our classmates, Don Dreyfuss, made All-High in tennis. judging by our first year at Bennett, we were well on our way. EU SOPHOMORES - 1954-55 'fSummertime, and the livin' is easy,', - or at least that is the way we pictured our Sophomore year. Our life was painted in the deep, rich colors of mid-summer. Everyone was glowing and sparkling with the thought that we were no longer those little Freshmen. But we finally settled down to a year as dignified, yet fun-loving 'fwise fools. It's magicln we cried as General Electric presented some startling effects with chemistry in Bennett's auditor- ium.' We saw strawberry sodas foaming out of test tubes and an electric train being run by sound. Kelly green was prominent on St. Patrick's Day when we were excited by a visit from the talented Colgate Thir- teen. In addition, we learned that the 'fMagic Carpet,', or the Variety Show, had made a safe landing. It was during this year that two words became known as synonyms for terrific assembly! They were 6'Bob Wells. Everyone developed red hands from applauding Robert Wagner, Russell Armes, Marian Caruso, and the Four Lads when they appeared on our stage. Wfe had a little bad luck in football that year, but when the basketball season arrived, we improved to finish in a tie for second place. The swimming team did even better. Splash! Bennett was off to an almost un- believable season, which ended with our team the winner at the exciting All-High meet. The student body re- ceived a real thrill when the tennis and baseball teams captured the Bapst and Cornell Cups respectively. Of course we went to classes too. Most of us turned green whenever we even thought about geometry home- work. We swore we would never look at another triangle. However, one exception proved the rule 5 he was Roy Levitch. In English we met Will Shakespeare and Julius Caesaru despite our valiant efforts to evade them. Our classmates became active in extra-curricular ac- tivities. Dick Kulick was re-elected to the Executive Committee. Ethel Ward and Linda Fried did a fine job of editing the Sophomore Column of the BEACON. While it did not seem possible, the halfway mark had been reached in our high school career. ,rumours as 1955-56 Wfe enrolled in what might be considered the autumnal season of our years at Bennett. First carrie the football games. How proud we were to have representatives on the cheerleaders squad--.Iudy Seyse and jim Guilford! In this world of burnished orange and yellow pomporns. Ray Skaine was given Honorable Mc-ntirrn on the All- High team. It was during our Junior year that Bennett presented Arsenic and Old Lace, the first play to be produced in five years. The Class of 1957 was represented by George Strauss, Phyllis Mack. and David Frey, who car- ried leading roles. In March we had the opportunity to elect our class officers. To these positions of honor and trust, we named Larry Edelman, President, Gail Chinell, Vice-President, Sheila Rush, Secretary, and Tom Klein, Treasurer. YVhen our ofjficers had been elected, we looked forward to Junior Day. It was on this day that we were formally introduced to the student body. Jayne Truckenport and George Strauss were the winners of the annual Mercer Speaking Contest. Ken Kreinheder told of his trip to New York which had been conducted by the Rotary Club of Buffalo. Assemblies always constituted an important part of 4-1? our life at Bennett. The Fisher Body Guild presented an interesting program on automotive design. Gail lVIesne- koff relived her trip to Israel with the school by showing colored slides. The true meaning of brotherhood was understood when a letter of appreciation from Bennetl's newly adopted Korean brother was read. Bob X'N'ells was back with such stars as -Iackie -Iocko and the Four Voices. Under the direction of Mr. Kub- litx, Bennett presented its own celebrities in the film Nc Go To Bennett. The annual Variety Show was also an important part of our junior life. We were very happy to capture the gaiety of the lX4ardi Gras on our own stage. Spring ofhcially arrived and so did baseball. lYith our boys in top shape, we won first place and tl1e coveted Cornell Cup. The tennis team set a city record by secur- ing every berth on the All-High team. We eagerly looked forward to the Junior Prom. XYith the committees in full swing and the ticket sales mount- ing, our anticipation increased. The big night camel How delighted we were with our brightly decorated ball- room and the dreamy music of jack Barshter's Band! Some of the golden Moon Glo sifted off onto us, and we Juniors went home radiant with the knowledge that memory had painted this perfect night in colors that would never fade. Then carrie those final exams in which we were sure that Tom Klein would make good. for he had main- tained the highest average for the academic year. As we left Bennett in June. we looked forward to our Senior year, and hoped it would be as successful as those in the past. W SENIORS --f 1956-57 Seniors at lastl It just did not seem possible, but here we were at the opening of a new school year. It was not long before we began to want our class rings and cries of 'WN'here is the jeweler?' resounded from the walls. The fall sports program was off with a bang when three new Senior cheerleaders were selected. For the second time in our years at Bennett the basket- ball team won the Yale Cup. The swimming team did fairly well also, finishing fourth in the All-High meet. Class Day and the Senior Prom finally arrived and what an exciting weekend they formed! Afterwards we settled down to some good hard studying in preparation for exams and Graduation. And so, we came to the close of our last and winter season of high school life. It really was not so long and cold as we thought it might be. Rays of sunshine crept in everywhere, bringing the black and white world of the classroom to life. We wish to thank all those who made our stay so pleasant, and those who created so many fond memories for us. Thank you. and goodby. THE IOURNEY In the beginning, there was chaos, The tempo was fast and uncertain, But a few were wise and guided us. They created a semi-conforming mass, And thus we embarked. At the start we were frightened and shy, For much lay ahead. We knew not How Fate, with her caprices, would greet us. Yet we were willing to try ourselves, Yea, even eager. Our confusion soon subsided. So, as the naivete wore off, We found among our fellow itinerants Souls to be explored, welcomed as friends, Ideals to be aired. The months continued their endless cycle. We knew that one-fourth of our journey was through, And sensed that as we must assimilate, We must also grasp all possible. They did not let us tarry. Onward we went, and became almost Too secure. Idlers called us wise foolsj' And perhaps we were. There was much nonsense, But we were young then and knew no better. Still the wise ones led us higher. And we followed them and lo! It was good, for they strengthened us And gave us much we can never lose. The wise ones surely guarded us from many pitfalls, And we are grateful. Before we knew it, our wanderings were half done, And, as before we had been too confident, now Again we were unsteady, as at the first, For although much was behind us, we knew Even more lay ahead. On we trudged and our toil was heavy. Our bodies grew and our minds matured, And we chose new leaders, for, though The wise ones had been kind to us, we desired Men from our own ranks. It was nearly over and our goal loomed bright. The last trail was hard, we underwent much. We were examined and found Ht to complete Our pilgrimage. Yea, the finale, we thought, Certainly was unavoidable. And hail! We finally arrived at journeyis end, And - strange - it was not really the terminus, For, though our circuit through your hallowed halls of learning, Oh Bennett, is no more, we must continue still, Our travels now to be on the Road of Life. 18 jane Ann Vogel ALEDICTORY Our high school days are over. This ceremony marks the end of a formative, decisive period in our lives. We are about to leave the scene of some of the happiest, richest moments we shall ever experience. Though our motto states, The best is yet to ben, never again shall we face life with the same carefree, jubilant outlook we have today. In a very short time, some of us shall be sharing a major portion of our families' economic and other burdens. A number will continue their educations, but not in the same spirit that has imbued us at Bennett. In short, we go forth now to accept adult responsibilities. This is a step we take not without reluctance. Conflicting emotions surge through us. We are hopeful, but a little fearful, we are nostalgic, but yet prepared to accept the challenge of the future. Above all, we are grateful. Some of us are about to enter an impatient, demanding, and fickle society with only the capital that we have gained here. We realize now that we have been lovingly guided, by our parents at home, and by our teachers at school, over the tortuous road to maturity and adulthood. It is our duty to demonstrate that our parents, and teachers' dedication and faith have not been unwarranted. To accom- plish this, we need only to utilize the spiritual and material education afforded us during the past years. Let us be a credit to those who have nurtured us and believed in us. We, the class of 1957, are often thought and spoken of as a uniform group. In a sense, this is true. But it is equally true that as an individual, each of us is unique. We have formed friendships here that will endure throughout our lives, no matter where our destinies may lead us, we shall retain these ties of affection, and through them, the memory of our Alma Mater. Thus, we shall not be alone on our joumey. The benefits we have reaped will be with us always., We can embark with confidence, for we know that, with the indefeasible asset of our four years at Bennett, we are well fortified. Thomax Klein 19 HALL OF GAIL Cl-IINELL Genuine leadership is a quality few possess. but to eombine this sterling attribute with a magnetic' personality is to spell the name of Gail Chinell. our Senior Class Girls 'l'reasurer. In addition to this. Gail has engaged in many extraeurrieular aetivities. Gail has eapably presided at the meetings of the Junior Red Cross Serviee Club and served as Viee-President of the Latin Honorary Soeiety. She has worked vigorously for the BEACON in her years at Bennett and is now Assoeiate Editor. Her exeellent seholastie rating has warranted her admission to the Legion of Honor. and upon graduation Gail will be the proud posses- sor of a jewelled honor pin. This. however. is only the beginning! Gail is the President of Senior Girls Hi-Y. She has also been on the Student Council for three years and is presently the Girls Representative-at-liarge. In addition. she will reeeive her Gold UB in sports this year. And she has still found time to be eo- manager of the sehool play The Man W'ho Came to Dinner. This busy gal likes many things. espeeially bowling. L'Peanuts . the BEACON. and stuffed animals. After some thoughtful eoneentration she said she dislikes wearing shoes. After graduation Gail plans to attend Uberlin College. W'e all wish her the best of luek in the future. and we are sure she will sueeeed in whatever she undertakes throughout her life. LAWRENCIE EDELMAN Wit. pep. enthusiasm. and personality plus they all add up to our own lovable l.arry Edelman. or Wlleddy Bear as he is known to many of us. Who ean dispute the faet that barry is one of the outstanding personalities in Bennett High Sehooli' Vte find that his eombined aehievements in the fields of leadership and extra-eurrieular aetivities are hard to equal. l,arry's school aetivities have ineluded the Math Club. Future Doetors Club. Key Club. and the Debate Soeiety. His eflierveseent personality has won him many friends. and his fellow students have demonstrated their high esteem of him by eleeting him President of the Student Couneil. of the Junior Red Cross Couneil. and of both last year's junior elass and this yearls Senior elass, As if this weren't enough. l.arry was one of our key players on this year's football team, He has partieipaled in football for three years. earning major letters in both his Junior and Senior years. No assembly would be eomplete without a toueh of l.arry's humor. although this versatile senior isn't satisfied with just being amusing. He also plays the bass viol and is an exeellent orator. as exemplified by the work he has done on the Debating 'l'eam. Larry readily admits his liking for friendly people with smiling eyes . parties. and girls. His dislikes. however. are Confined to a few. Cynieal people do not agree with him. and lengthy homework assignments are eon- sidered 'Sthumbs down. liarry plans to enter the pre-medieal eourse at Vyestern Reserve University after graduation. We will miss him. but we are eertain that he will be as sueeessful in his future Career as he has been here at Bennett High Sehool. JOYCE FRUET Here. there. and everywhere! That is eertainly the way to describe one of Bennett's busiest and most popular Seniors. If you should happen to be fortunate enough to eateh joyee during one of her rare free moments. you would diseover that she has numerous hobbies and definite likes. among whieh are eating lobster. daneing. growing pony tails. and listening to symphonies. However. we have managed to find only one pet peeve. This poor girl has found that she intensely dislikes washing dishes. In faet. we have diseovered from a very seeret souree that one of her main ambitions is to own an eleetrie dishwasher! .loyet-'s interests are by no means eonfined to the light and gay. though. ln reeognition of her outstanding seholastie reeord. she is a member of the l.eg'ion of Honor. the l rent'h Honorary Soeiety. and is Currently Treasurer of the Honorary Soeiety of English and Literature. In addition to these honors. she will be the proud possessor of the jewelled honor pin upon graduating. Debating is also one of .loyee's many talents. Due to her exeellenee and enthusiasm in this field. she was Seeretary in her Junior year. and is Pres- ident in her Senior year of the Bennett Debating Soeiety. As .Ioyee prepares to leave Bennett to enter her Chosen field of psyehol- ogy at Wellesley or Western Reserve. we feel eertain that she cannot help but sueeeed. All of our best wishes go with her. and we wish good luek and happiness to this fine young lady who has done so mueh for Bennett. FAM TOM KLEIN Of course. you must know him V-everybody does! Combining scholastic skill. ideal leadership qualities. a strong sense of responsibility. and an even greater dose of initiative. Tom Klein has certainly built in four short years an impressive pyramid. At the very base of this pyramid we find his worst irritants. principally. people who can't meet deadlines and catty girls. Scaling further. his enthu- siastic interests are exposed for the world to view. It seems good ole Tom casts a favorable light on pizza. popular music. sports. and. of course. the Bennett BEACON. Among his noteworthy achievements stand membership in the Legion of Honor. the Key Club. the Student Council. the Science Club. and the Math Club. However. Tom was not satisfied at this stage. He was tapped for the Presidency of the Latin Honorary Society. served as Secretary of the Bennett Bowling Society. and was popularly acclaimed Treasurer of his class. Tom's scholastic standing. however did not suffer: his name remained near the top of the school's honor roll. This year too. he has worked endless hours to contribute toward the betterment of our school. As a Senior. Tom has reached the pinnacle of his pyramid--he is Editor-in-Chief of the BEACON. and Yaledictorian. as well as Treasurer of the graduating class. Upon leaving the familiar halls of Bennett this june. Tom will bestow his numerous talents on the ivy covered walls of Harvard. WR' all know that Tom cannot help but be the leader and organizer he has well proven himself. Success will certainly be his! NAN MARKEL A charming manner. intelligence. and friendliness have made Nan Markel rate a high place in Bennett's Senior class. Her long list of interests and activities is headed by being President of the French Honorary Society. Nan has always been interested in writing and has proven her ability by the excel- lent work that she has been doing on the BEACON. Last year she was editor of the junior Column and also an assistant editor. This year she holds the position of associate editor in charge of the literary department. She also has a flair for acting. which she has shown by the terrihc performance she gave in f'I'he Man Who Came to Dinner. In her Junior year. Nan was Vice-President of the Bowling Club. and she can also claim membership in the Legion of Honor. Although her dislikes are few. she does admit an aversion to cliches. stupid people. and food Cwhich she feels makes her fat.J When she isn't in school. she enjoys skiing. reading. writing. and taking an active part in her Young People's group. lVith all these outstanding activities to keep her busy. one would think that she would have no time to study. But somehow Nan manages to squeeze it in somewhere. and as a well deserved reward for her efforts. she expects to receive a jewelled honor pin upon graduation this June. As for the future. Nan plans to attend the University of Michigan where she will take up journalism. If her high school record is any indication of what she will do in the future. Nan will certainly go far. whatever course in life she pursues. So. all that we here at Bennett can say is. 'lBest of luck to you. Nan. KENNETH KREINHEDER As we walk through Bennett's Hall of Fame. we discover many inscriptions along its walls. One stands out. UK:-nneth Kreinheder. Class of 1957. Salu- tatorianf' it reads. Leadership and scholarship. spiced with a dash of determination. have combined to earn Ken. as he is more commonly known. this laudable spot. The Key Club seems to rate Ken's highest esteem. Hard work during his Junior year was rewarded by his subsequent election to the office of Treasurer and appointment as editor of its statewide newspaper. Hi-Y activities and the Legion of Ilonor. however. poll a close second. Ken has been a member of North Delaware Hi-Y for three years: last year's representative to the Inter-Hi-Y Council. he is now Corresponding Secretary of his club. As President of the Legion of Honor during the first term of his Senior year. he also applied his able talents to that organization. In addition. he has somehow found time to participate in the Latin Honor- ary Society. A familiar sight to all Bennettonians, Ken is on our Safety Patrol. W'e all laud his initiative in carrying out that job each morning during the school year. Of course. this outstanding Senior will be awarded a jewelled honor pin at graduation. As the doors of Bennett close behind him for the last time. Ken will leave all these cherished memories. ready to embark on the last lap of his education at Yale. Cornell. Hobart, or U. B. - probably Cornell. Although he is undecided as to his future work. we know that after the impressive record he has written at Bennett success will be inevitable. SHEILA RUSH Here is a girl who seems to be everywhere at once. with a determined sparkle in her eye. and a friendly Hello for all. A perfect blend of leader- ship. personality. and intelligence makes Sheila Rush a sterling example of a successful Bennettonian. Sheila may appear to be forever in a hurry. but that is a matter of neces- sity. Last year. for example. she accomplished a multitude of tasks. serving as Secretary of the Junior class. Keeper of the Purse for the Latin Honorary Society. a BEACON stafl member. and an active participant in her Hi-Y Club. She also managed to find enough spare time to work as an office monitor. and to participate in after-school sports. which will enable her to receive her Gold HB . As a Senior. Sheila claimed even more honors. Her diligent work on the BEACON was rewarded by her selection for the co- editorship of the Literary Column. The Legion of Honor. the Debating Team. and the Inter Hi-Y Council. which she serves as Treasurer. also re- ceive her support. Perhaps the highest honors bestowed upon this outstand- ing Senior were her election as President of the Latin Honorary Society and Secretary of the Senior class. A jewelled honor pin will be awarded to Sheila. who places extremely high in her class. Sheila does have one fault. we must admit ffshe's a finicky eater. especially where vegetables are concerned. That is quite forgotten. though, when she is able to have a taste for sports. sweets. Biology. Latin. and dancing. Sheila would like to attend Chatham College in Pittsburgh. concentrating on a career in journalism or social work. We know that Sheila cannot help but succeed. Our only wish is -best of luck and Cod-speed! ROY LEVITCH Friendly. sincere. and truly one of Bennett's outstanding students is Roy Leviteh. He can usually be found under slide rules. behind test tubes. or in a football uniform. Roy is well known for his amazing mathematical ability, In his Junior year alone he won two math contests. and he is now President of Bennett's Math Club. Roy's talents are not wholely confined to the solving of com- plicated problems. Science is also one of his major interests. Ile is now President of the Science Club. and he loves to delve into the mysteries of theoretical science. electronics. and atomic devices. This all-around Senior also finds time in his busy schedule to be active in the Key Club. and to be a member of the Legion of Honor. He has been a member of the football team for four years. and has won a football squad letter. And. naturally. Roy will receive a jewelled honor pin upon gradu- ating. Roy has a great many likes. among which are food, especially pizza. sports. and Saturday nights. However. we haven't been able to End a pet peeve for this agreeable Senior. The honored profession of engineering is Roy's choice of a future occupa- tion. and he plans to enter lVIassachusetts Institute of Technology in the fall. VVith his remarkable record. we feel certain that he will succeed in whatever he attempts. JAYNE TRUCKENPORT Without the very popular Vice-President of this year's Senior class. Beu- nett's Hall of Fame would not be complete. I am sure many will remember Jayne as the pert Peter Pan of the i956 BEACON Assembly. and will recall her other excellent performances in Bennetts Variety Shows. Christmas assemblies. Bennett-Ken assemblies. and numerous other Bennett productions. In fact. this Winsome Senior will admit that she delights in acting. dancing. and in music of many moods. Like most people. however. Jayne confesses to having a few pet peeves. Unsociable Senior boys are taboo with her. and prejudiced people just don't rate on her list of favorites. Jayne's skill in leadership has been recognized in her winning of the Elk's Leadership Award. She was elected Vice-President of the Junior Coun- cil of VVorld Affairs and has worked on the Model United Nations this year. Jayne loves talkative people. and she herself is an excellent orator. Not only did she place second in the Girls' lligh Oratorical Contest. but she also won the Mercer Speaking Contest in her Junior year. In spite of her many activities. our industrious student has not neglected her classwork. Jayne is Vice-President of the Legion of Honor. and will be further honored by receiving the jewelled pin upon graduation. BEACON work and sports have also occupied a place in Jayne's busy schedule. In her Freshman year she was co-editor of the Freshman Column. and now is co-editor of the Senior Staff. An avid sports fan. Jayne will re- ceive the Gold HB for four years of after school sports. After graduating from Bennett. Jayne intends to enter Duke University. She is seriously considering either missionary or social work as her chosen vocation. W'e know that this admirable girl will surely achieve her goals. RAY SKAINE Combine enthusiasm. intelligence, personality, a knack for work, and a love of athletics, and what do you have? You have the exact characteristics of well known and well liked Ray Skaine. During Ray's four years at Bennett, he has excelled in sports, being one of our top defensive football players. Saturdays hero has saved the day many a time by bringing in that extra point when it was needed most. VVC here at Bennett are not the only ones who consider Ray an outstanding player: he was chosen as the top tackle on this yearls All High Team. In both his Senior and his Junior years, Ray earned his major letter in football. Ray is an all-around athlete. Besides football, he also excels in track. His classmates have applauded his ability and popularity by electing him Secre- tary-Treasurer of the Track Club last year and President this year. Nevertheless, all of Ray's interests are not devoted to sports. His partici- pation in the Hi-Y program led Ray to the Vice-Presidency in his Junior year and the Presidency in his Senior year of the North Delaware Boys Hi-Y. He is also on the Inter Hi-Y Council. In addition to this, Ray was on the projection staff and is a guidance monitor. This amiable Senior is also willing to lend a helping hand whenever pos- sible. VVe can all thank Ray for making the Bennett Ballroom attractive for our dances. Ray, like all of us. has his special likes and dislikes. Girls, friendly people, and convertibles head the list of his favorites, while Bermuda shorts, pizza, and braggers Find him less enthusiastic. Following graduation from Bennett, Ray is undecided as to which college he will attend. One thing is certain, however. Ray has made an indelible mark in Bennett's Hall of Fame, and whatever his chosen vocation may be. we are sure that he will succeed. ELLEN WITTMAN 'lEnergetic and competent are two of the best ways to describe one of Bennett's most active Seniors, Ellen Wittman. Wherever you turn you usually see this likeable girl. for she has such a variety of interests that she can be found everywhere. Her time is occupied by such things as carrying out her duties as Vice- President of the French Honorary Society and Treasurer of the German Club. She has displayed her talents as an actress in Bennett's play The Man Who Came to Dinner. Ellen's speaking ability also led her to partici- pate in the Mercer Speaking Contest and to win a gold speech pin. Her constant work on the BEACON began when she was a freshman. Last year she held the position of assistant literary editor, and this year she earned for herself the job of business editor. As a result of her work, she will re- ceive a gold BEACON pin. In her spare time, of which she has little, she enjoys dabbling in oils, play- ing bridge, and reading. Her many likes also include lobster, sleeping late. classical music, and BEACON meetings, Although she is hesitant about dis- cussing her dislikes, Ellen finally admitted that squash, unannounced tests, and report cards ind disfavor with her. Ellen still Finds time to keep up her marks, and, as a reward for her efforts, she is a member of the Legion of Honor and hopes to receive her jewelled honor pin upon graduation. Although she plans to enter college in the fall. Ellen hasn't yet decided whether to go into education or social work. But whatever field she finally chooses, we here at Bennett know that she will succeed. GEORGE STRAU SS The boy with the golden tongue, one of our most outstanding Seniors that's George Strauss. The attribute by which George has attained such widespread respect and renown was first manifest when he won the All High Oratorical Contest in his Sophomore year, Subsequently, he captured first place in the American Legion Oratorical Contest in Western New York, and, as a Senior, was a champion on the Erie County level. In 1955, George thrilled Bennett audi- ences with his portrayal of Dr. Einstein in Arsenic and Old Lace, and this year received plaudits in the title role of the HMan Who Came to Dinner. He has further utilized his unusual gift by serving as President of the John L. Stamp Dramatic Society, Captain of the negative Debate Team. and a member of the public address crew. George's numerous other accomplishments are indicative as well of his scholarship and leadership ability. The bearer of one of the highest averages in his class, he will be awarded a jewelled honor pin on graduation night. During his four years at Bennett. George has been active in the Latin, German, and French Honorary Societies, the German Club, the Legion of Honor, the Key Club, of which he is Corresponding Secretary, and has been elected Prophet of the Senior Class CWhew!J This likeable Senior rates lobster, languages, classical music, and acting highest on his list of preferences, while he has an avid distaste for liver and math. George professes a desire to attend Harvard or Princeton. He intends to study law, not dramatics as you might expect. in preparation for a job in the foreign service. We certainly wish George the greatest of success-W we know he will attain it. BARBARA AARON Nl1'tIf7lf,t.t is a rmzrning grrlre of l'V0HlllYlIl0llIiU Harb . . .

ABOVE Mr. Sommer Miss Sloan SENIOR HO EROO TEACHERS The Class of 1957 is on the eve of graduation. After four years, every Senior has his own particu- lar memories. Many of these are of his fellow classmates. Others, perhaps, are of the humorous incidents he has encountered, the day he talked his way out of a blue slip, the time he had to help clean up the cafeteria. Yet one thing all Seniors share, one memory we all will have. We will re- member our homerooms and their teachers. The homeroom teachers have proven to be true friends. No matter how self-reliant we may be, we are bound to encounter many problems. Although our homeroom teachers may have heard the same complaint a dozen times from a dozen different people, they were always willing to tackle the diffi- culty from a personal standpoint. The high school memories of the Seniors will be many and varied, but among our friends at Ben- nett, we will remember our homeroom teachers. Not pictured: Miss Robinson, Miss Schreier, Miss Wright. ABOVE Miss Sherman Miss Thiel SEN XOR TEMPO www Should the portrait of the Senior elass eome from the brush of a master painter or from the brush ol' a car- toonist? Nleditating on this, we realized how little we knew about art. So we boned up on the works of Rem- brandt, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh and others to familiarize ourselves with the subject. EU First day back to school and already The Hunting Scenei' for those parking spaces on Mercer Street has begun. It would take The Sorcereru to get l'he YN'heels parallel to the curb, but wait a minutes Honk! Honk! lt's a goose! lt's a flock ol' geese! No! V It's the Driver Ed class. Ann Guelli, Richard liarnhart, George Seil and Barb Ball, among others, have been seen menacing anyone who dares to venture into the street. But we have at least two good drivers, as every- one saw when Joyce Fruet and Ray Skaine proved that they could stop on a dime . EQ With the coming of Indian SIIIIIIIICIN, other Seniors made news. 'l'hey were our football men. l'he Thinker Qlloach Walker! tried hard to find a way to get the team out ol the huddle and onto the field, but the boys were just as interested in scoring on each other as they were in scoring on the opposing team. Larry E.: Money, Honey, weare sure lucky Borneman made the team. Now everyone has keen uniforms. Butch I.: 'I'hat's not all, fellows. After Fran broke his leg in the East game, he decided to go out for an easier sport' -going steady. Dick D.: Have you seen how Bully has been taking it easy too? It must be hard faking those exercises! Tom P.: Say, where's Bill? Is he still at the New York State License Bureau or is he looking for his two front teeth? Larry P.: Who knows, but while hels gone let's elect him to tell Ray Skaine that this is our last game. We want to be careful not to shock Ray too much. Neil R.: Even though Ray will be shocked, the girls at Bennett will be happy the season is over because now Dennis fthe Fumblerl can devote all his time to them. W But let's not forget The Man Who Came to Dinner. W'e laugh every time we think of Murray Paul as the dapper Englishman and George Strauss as the bearded Sheridan NVhiteside. Well be looking for Lee Weiner, George Strauss, Ellen Wittman, Naomi Sultanik, Benson Sunshine, and Bernie Levine in summer stock. EU December 16th some of our Senior Hi-Yers hopped the s'Ten O'Clock train for Albany and the Hi-Y Youth and Government program. There werenlt quite enough seats so Esther Sutor rode on the luggage rack. It seems that it was crowded everywhere! We hear that Ed Son- tag fPresident of the New York State Mock Senatej and Peter Cormack even had to share their room with two other delegates for part of the time. More fortunate were Sheila Rush and Connie Marble who had their own room. 53 Everyone was soon back for the fabulous Christmas assembly. The Sacrilicen was a difficult one, but we finally managed to give up an entire day of classes. Mur- ray Mintz and Alan Freedman kept :'The Laughing Audiencel' in complete hysterics. Christmas Candy was sold by Shirley Niebling, Joyce Savasta, Diane Diffin, Jayne Truckenport, and some of our Senior boys. In the midst of all this, Alice Baum, Dave Pollack, Linda Segal, Arnie Wolk, Sandy Ertis, Mel Sirkin, and Gail Mattis were playing a Pajama Game. PS3 In February the basketball team assumed a full sched- ule. The cheerleaders, including Seniors Joyce Savasta, Carol Levin, and Bunny Honig, led us in some new cheers for Carmen Iannacone, Kenny Parr, Larry Shine, and the rest of the fellows. Hats off to all the men who made this a winning season. Although we weren't as victorious in the HQO, our swimming team worked just as hard, if not harder. Our head merman Jim Guilford led Al Harrington, Tom Tedesco, and all the rest of the boys to the payoff in the Lafayette meet at 41-28. W Another event on our social calendar was the Variety Show, Lullaby of Broadway. Everyone skipped classes for 4'The Rehearsal on the Stage . Pat Green made headlines in her Gay Nineties costume. Fran Pollard, Sue Wooster, Carol Levy, Gail Mesnekoff, Betty Hay- man, and miny miny others quit the June Taylor Dancers to join the Ronnie Bludman Dancers for our show. This was one lullaby that really woke us up! Suddenly we were hit with a breath of spring air. Be- tween Beer Streetl' and spring fever, our spring sports got on the road. The baseball team was off to a flying start with John DeCarolis pitching, Carmen Iannacone at short, and Jerry Carney and Fran DeYoung in the outfield. What ho! Here comes the track team. Ray Skaine is our champion in the shotput. Bernie Goldman skillfully represents Bennett in the 440, and Al Naish is our man in the hurdling event. As for Bob Mosedale - well, he just runs. Ping! Pong! The tennis balls are pong-pinging over the nets like mad. Eddie Wagner, Donnie Dreyfuss, Alan Raines, and Bob Moser are slated to make All-High in tennis. P63 Know ye that in this year 1957 the editors of Senior Tempo wish every Senior to get his name in the column. Therefore, we humbly dedicate this space to our loyal peers who have slaved over four years of exams, marks, and the like to emerge triumphant on Graduation Night.

I, I J fm I ., if ., as s if lx , x YY 4 N f Q N X ,4 X CLASSMEN UNDER i With the aid of Manuel Rodriguez, who has drawn the cartoons on the follow- ing pages, we attempt to paint the picture of the underclassmen. Every fall there comes into Bennett High School a species of student whose most prominent characteristics are'a facility for thinking up excuses for completely in- excusable acts fchewing gum in class, not handing in homeworkj and a remarkable ability to pay attention to the teacher while inwardly sighing over the girl or boy in the next row. Those in supervision of the school have recognized that this is a species extraordinaire, they therefore have denoted the fact by entitling the genus BENNETT UNDERCLASSMEN. There are three subdivisions of the species UNDERCLASSMEN: the Freshmen, the Sophomores, and the Juniors. Although much alike findeed in outward appear- ance there is hardly ever any dissimilarity in the trousers or skirt and sweater or shirt garbl the subdivisions are not entirely homogeneous. Let us first examine the Freshman. He comes to Bennett a nonentity but is soon remarkable for a reddish cast to his skin, whether this comes from outward application or inward embarrassment we are not sure. On entering the school he is greeted by a mumbo jumbo of record cards and asked to find his way through a maze of corridors to carefully hidden objectives, i.e., an English class, the gym, the cafeteria. After several months he realizes that Bennett is constructed like a hollow square. By the time June ends the Freshman, armed with much knowledge of Ec World and General Science, has grown sufficiently sure of himself to become an integral part of the second subdivision, the Sophomores. One might say that the Sophomores represent the chrysalis stage. No longer caterpillars, they have not yet become butterflies. By this time the Sophomore, in general, has acquired certain tastes and mastered certain skills. He likes pizza, dances, and 2:45, he has become expert at the cha cha, matters of dress, and evading blue slips. His greatest problem stems from restlessness. This the Student Council has attempted to overcome by discussing a reinforced Sophomore activity program. The Sophomore has assumed a veneer of sophistication that is most apparent when, with books and sleepy morning face, he creeps like a snail into school -late. Any time you ask he will gladly tell you he is nobodyis fool. When it has dawned on him that he may be somebodyls fool after all falthough, according to the meaning of Sophomore, undoubtedly a wise fooll, he is well on his way toward bursting from his chrysalis and emerging a Junior. About the Junior. He does not have to make an effort to be in step g it is he who sets the pace. His homework is quickly done with the aid of radio accompani- ment. Transportation to very important places such as a show, the hangout, and occasionally even school, is arranged with a junior operator's license and the family car. His eye is on the setting sun, in this case the graduating Seniors whose places he will soon fill. The Junior is an active participant in all extra-curricular activities and his ambition has often helped make Bennett a finer school. 'X dar Q FZ ' N R a 3 ! E i IU 10115 'l'l1f'y Call it u tvvn-ag? Crush. Hurry up, will ya? 1 could cal those books right now! Dafsa good-a pina, oh, paesano? Ein schmulziger witz? At the crossroads of the worldf-fbusiness as usual. A junior operatorls license, a dollarls worth of gas finflation knows no boundsj , and, of course, the wheels, provided the means of transportation through junior- land. After we checked in, we were officially greeted by the mayor, the Honorable Fred Clarke, and his assistant, Diane Murray. Judy Selby took notes, and Ellen Hedger and Ernest Shosho collected a 504: admission fee. This, we were told, would pay for our SPECIAL lunch. Being naive, we looked forward to a sumptuous feast. Oh, well, live and learn. Traveling further, we stopped for an assembly. As we entered, we heard the opening prayer. A JUNIOR'S PSALM Mr. Snow is my teacher 3 I shall not pass. He maketh me to go to the blackboard 5 He compelleth me to answer difficult questions - - He giveth me zero And maketh me to sit down before the class. Yea, though I study I gain no knowledge, For my Chem lessons sorely try me. He prepareth ax test before me in the presence of my classmates 5 He giveth me twenty percent! My eyes runneth over. Surely failure shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell in the Chemistry class forever and ever. Amen. Homeroom notices followed.

How does the buckle on the back of a boyls trousers help keep them up? Donlt they sell shoe polish for saddle shoes in Juniorland? Why wear heavy crew neck sweaters in steam-heated class- rooms? But, giving credit where credit is due, a Junior is always turned out in the height of sartorial elegance as set up by the Ivy League mode. As proof positive, take a gander at Geraldine Lippes, Mike Kaplan, or Gary Lichtman. Hearing about the literary aspects of Juniorland, our next stop was the library. Browsing through the shelves, unfamiliarly titled books came to our attention.

We ambled over to the bulletin board near room 213 to see if we could catch a glimpse of it. Here is a Juniorls example: One particular type of artistic endeavor Hoating around school at this very moment may be found in study halls, cafeterias, and boring classes. The high school femme fatale is incomplete without some knowl- edge of this fine art. Any of you Don Juans who haven't guessed what it is yet have obviously not had the frustrating experi- ence of one long sleeve and one short. Never fear, the day will come when some proud starry-eyed girl will present you with the botched-up result of her KNIT- TING! ! ! Our observations in Juniorland would not have been complete without visiting a Latin class. Therefore, we did just that, and hardly were we there when we heard the following lament: DEAD BUT NoT F ORGOTTEN Oh, to have been incarnated In the time of Julius C. Then to be reincarnated CMy brain with Latin grammar satedj Just for Latin III. However, we had arrived just as the bell rang to indicate the seventh Cthank goodness for those small blessingsj period. SEVENTH HoUR The bell rings ..... Only forty-five minutes more. Soon it's only forty-four. A pupil talks, The teacher squawks. You make suggestions And answer questions. Slowly the time passes, You take oFf your glasses. F Finally the clock indicates 2:44. You pick up your books, race out the door, And then the bell rings ..... E3 In the mood for recreation, we heard that one of the girls was having an open house Cdefmitionz the word is dropped and the hordes descend.j Once there we viewed beauty in motion accompanied by an odd jargon 4 one, two, cha cha cha. The hours flew by and soon everyone scurried home, leaving the place in a shambles. Only one lament was heard, S'What will I do without a senior driver?,' Naturally everyone was talking about the main social event of the year, which was yet to come. Exhausted from our extensive travels, we rested the next day, anxi- ously awaiting the big night. With restored vigor, we observed the big event - namely the Junior Prom. The MESSENGER arrived early with a ROSE cor- sage showing the PRICE tag. Later I heard the HORN of my dateis new GREEN LINCOLN as he brought it to a HALT. We reached Le Chateau du BARON de Bennett, and received super SERVICE from the well dressed DORMANN. We met the gang in the long, immense HALL. As we heard the first strains of music, we all drifted into the elaborately decorated ballroom. The stunning dresses with their beautiful array of colors reminded onlookers of a FLOOD of SUNSHINE. That was only the beginning, for we were entertained by aspiring YOUNG performers. They reminded us of great stars -- the GLENN Miller band, such singers as MARTIN and SINATRA, and comedians like BURNS. After the Prom, the couples HUNTed for an after- the-dance snack. They congregated in various haunts and really lived it up. Then, staggering home, the girls FISHing for their keys, a fabulous evening came to a close. Having thus concluded our eventful trip through Juniorland, we could not help but feel sad at the thought of departing. Starting on our journey home, we found time for a side excursion into the future. So after we put a half dollar's worth of go power in the tank, we blasted off.

Dear Diary: Wed., Sept. 5 A diller a dollar An 8:4-O scholar, It's good to be back in the groove. As a Bennett fixture, We make a picture That well could be hung in the Louvre. Today was the first day of my Sophomore year. Old faces and old places reminded me of our wonderful Freshman year, and from the looks of things, this one will be even greater. It doesn't seem possible that we're actually going to be Sophomores! Thurs., Sept. 13 The first Student Council meeting of the year was held today. Among the celebrities were our homeroom ambassadors. Our competent delegate to the Execu- tive Council is to be Susan Getman. Stuart Bargman and Harry Poole will be in charge of the Special Com- mittee of the Student Council, and Joel Greenberg will perform the difficult task of being Chairman of the student tickets for the Pop Concert. Wed., Nov. 21 Our class was nicely represented in this year's play, S'The Man Who Came to Dinner . Diane Gotthelf and Lynda Sturner did great jobs actingg Thomas Homburger and Gary Kahn also put in an appear- ance. Who knows, someday they all may be on the stage! Thurs., Nov. 22 Today I saw Bennett win the Thanksgiving Day game against McKinley by a score of 9-6. It was a thrilling game, and I was so proud of our Sophomore players: James Adel, George Zilliox, Gregory Krystaf, Talbot Freeland, Rudolph Dockery, Richard Bronstein, and Richard McNally, all of whom did a great job. Of course it wouldn't have been a game without Patricia Shaw leading cheers and our drill team and band, both comprised of many Sophomores. Fri., Dec. 21 As everyone knows, today was our annual Christmas assembly, and, naturally, we Soph's were well repre- sented. Patricia Emerick sang White Christmasu, and Alan Gerstel, Gregory Krystaf, and Joan Neuschel dis- played their talents on the violin. Virginia Markel and Carol Kaufman, as not-so-angelic angels, intro- duced part of the show. Francine Williams and her group gave their interpretation of New Orleans jazz. Lynda Sturner narrated part of The Littlest Angel , a tableau in which many Sophomore girls had a part. It will be a snowy day in July before we'll be able to top this assembly! Fri., Feb. 1 We can attribute our marvelous record in basketball to the fine playing of classmates Talbot Freeland and Donald Alexander and to the capable management of Robert Yost. Talbot Freeland was particularly sensa- tional in our games, helping toward our goal of a championship team. Mon., Feb. 11 The Pop Concert held tonight by the Bennett Com- munity Association was a big success. Bob Wells made the program even more enjoyable with his rendition of a flute solo, and June Saunders accented the pro- gram with her lovely voice. The orchestra offered a variety of popular selections, and the Sophomores especially enjoyed the dance which followed. Bennett really profits from the help of the Community Asso- clarion. Tues., Feb. 26 A radical change in the Sophomore format took place today when polls were passed out. Most Popular Gail Chamberlain Don Alexander Susan Getman Stuart Bargman M ost Polite Judy Barber Joel Greenberg Esther Weisman Steve Gosch Smartest Sylvia Fleck Patricia Krueger James Blinkoff Thomas Homburger Most Athletic Bernard Twins Talbot Freeland Frances Celniker Frank Ralabate Tues., Mar. 5 Many Sophomores contributed to this year's Variety Show. Francine Williams opened the show, and Lynne Milstein helped carry through with her singing. The Varsity Dragl' and In an Old Dutch Mill , contain- ing thirty-one Sophomore girls in all, were also really great. Sat., May 18 Today being Saturday, I decided to walk over to the tennis courts and play a few sets. There I saw some of my famous friends: ffMaureen Connollys -Frances Celniker, Barbara Tzetzo, and Linda Wolfe, Jack Kramers -Alan Ehrenstoft, Alan Gerstel, and Jeffrey Theier. Sitting on the sidelines I saw a retired pro, Nancy Caruana, talking to some other Sophomore tennis enthusiasts. I only wish I could play as well as they! Now all we need is a girls, tennis team to add another cup to Bennettls collection. Thurs., June 20 Exams mark the end of a year, a glorious, happy one for the Sophomores. Half of our high school years are over. I hope that the next two are as delightful as this one has been. , Love, ' A. Sophomore Rau' I: CIIAZIYSUII, R. Rzlymcmd, C. ZI4'gIm', Cf. Roth, I7.

But a great man CAlfred E. Newrnanl once said, What, me worry, so we took his advice. We do feel, though, that it is our duty to warn future freshmen of the perils in- volved, therefore, we take this opportunity to publish the account of our roving reporter Charles vanDorworm. Charles van D.: What's the word on the Freshman Assembly? Freshman: NN'e discovered our talented freshmen when they made their debut at our assembly on December 12. Since that was our day, we occupied the Seniors' seats. YN'e had complete charge of the program, and Carol Perlmutter, Barry Horwitz, and Johnny Jacobs led the opening exercises. The cast in order of appearance was as follows: Linda Hittleman got the show on the road singing Get Happy. Next in line came Randy W'einbe1'g who did a soft shoe dance. Harvey Lettman sang Walk Hand in Hand , and then we had the good fortune to End out what an accomplished pianist Joe Russ is. Sandra Klein did a ballet, Bonnie Bursuck and Larry Meyers tap danced, and Muriel Lowe and Yvonne Collins sang. One of the most popular acts was Iris Mesakowskfs interpretive dance. Sybil Lorbeer and Ann Lee Litman did a pantoinine to Mutual Adxniration Society. Chas. van D.: What is the recipe most likely to succeed? l tsp.

The prospective tnathetnatieian begins his long eliinb up the pyramid of numbers by taking Elementary Algebra. Here he lirst delves into the mysteries of the unknown. and we do mean unknown. quantity. If he survives this. he advances to Tenth Year Math. a course which combines plane geometry and an introduction to trigono- inetry. 'lilll' next step is either Intermediate Alge- bra and lrigonoinetry. or Eleventh Year Math. which integrates the two. Now the going begins to get rough. Homework increases steadily from hall' an hour, to one hour. to two hours a night. Finally. the torn and bleeding student drags hintsell away from the june exam fto spend the suininer resting up for the Senior math eourses. Name your poison, unsuspeeting senior! Wltieh will it be?

To increase the number of able drivers, and to decrease the number of acci- dents Qand car buddiesj the Driver Ed course was inaugurated last year. Number one topic of conversation for those who are lucky enough to get into the classes is how and by whom the biggest accident of the week was accomplished. Orchids to E. Bateman for epitomizing man's idea of the woman driver. Seriously, the driver-in-the-process-of-being-edw cated is receiving extremely worthwhile instruction: statistics show that these students are much better drivers than those who have not had the course. Although classes meet only one day a week, in order to gain practical experience the students make with the wheels after school and on Satur- days for two hours weekly. Mr. Devlin, Mr. For- gione, Mr. Zaccarine, and, of course, the 557 Buick donated by Twin City Auto Co. Inc. also have a little to do with the drivers' ever-growing confi- dence and ability. - 'iWatch out for that treeli' H'-wsumaxq 95 BUSINESS Although primarily an academic high school, Bennett does ofler some business courses. Intro- duction to Business is just what the name impliesff it introduces the Business major to commercial procedures. Business Arithmetic afliords the stu- dent a line background for the business world. Most of the high-percenters' who take typing andfor shorthand receive their instruction from Miss Volker. Also, we have had the fortune of adding Mrs. Lorenzo to the Business Department. When the mean ones have dropped out, the rest of the students go on to study Business Law. This course brings to light many obscure points of law with which everyone should be familiar, for ex- ample: if an enraged husband kills his wife's lover, he is not liable for murder charges. Since this information might at any time prove useful, the course has become known as a profitable one. Another interesting feature in Business Law is the day spent observing local court proceedings, Mrs. Volker Qilhairmanj, Mrs. Semple, Mrs. Cohn.

XN'ettlaul'er and Mr. liynds. The lirst, year shop courses are designed chiefly to help the student choose a major held ol' endeavor. He takes Comprehensive General Shop in the lirst semester. This course includes work with both wood and metals. In the second tcnn. the subjects covered are: working with plastics, and the art of printing. liy the time they are ready for their second year ol' shop. the hoys have usually decided on their ehiel interest, For the first semester, a double period of General Metal Shop or General Print Shop may he selected, and in the second term the choices include General lN'ood Shop and Advanced Printing. In addition to acquiring valuable training for themselves, the Shop majors perform a great ser- vice to the school. The programs for the variety show and the school play are products ol' the print shop, as are various school slips and documents. Mr. l.ynds fllltairtuztiil. Mr, lvettlaufer 98 MR.

The girls, under the capable supervision of Mrs. Mary Strunk, Miss Ethel Roberts, Miss Ruth liaecher, and Mrs. Doris Roberts, regularly don their gleaming white shirts and neatly pressed navy blue shorts and enthusiastically participate in vari- ous gymnastic exercises. The epitome of the boy's attire is exhibited by Ronnie Felman, the fashion plate ol' Rosie's roster. Mr. Rosenthal. along with Mr. Braun and Mr. Heis. constitute the boys' gym stall. One ol' the main annual activities carried on in gym is the state test, wlnch includes a series ol stretching. bending and pushing exercises. 'l'he re- sults ol' these tests help to classify students as phys- ical wrecks or muscular miracles. The sixth hour Senior girls were among the chosen few given the opportunity to learn the cha-cha and ealypso dances from Mrs. Roberts. Most of the participators in our varsity sports originally gained their interest from their gym class. but of course we all realize that the best team is still in the gym lockers.

Q- 1 105 Short Story This remarkable short story demonstrates Cindy Woodruff wonderfully fertile imagination. She hav written a provocative and fascinating tale, one which youfll remember. We also commend Bruce Ertle on his story, SageM, which was the runner-up. To Err Is Human Katherine blinking at the cold little chunks of day- light dropping through the screen, stretched, and swung her long legs gracefully over the bedside. Peering down on the sleeping form below, she whispered urgently, S'Henry!n No answer. Her feet propelled like a bicyclist's. UMMM . . . ph . . . ph . . . Wotchadoon?', Henry, wake up!', Surlyet.,' NI know, I want to talk to you before Patricia wakesf' More frantic pedalling. Cominow, cominow . . . Hey . Henry eased himself up beside her and curled his great lips back to limber his palate. Katherine's deep brown eyes glowed happily -his grammar was so good when he forgot the years he'd spent among those South country baboons. Kath- erine began hesitantly, warming to her subject as she continued, Well, you know Patricia is growing up now- her . . . her . . . sphere of interest is . . . ah, broadeningn. Henry cast an idolatrous glance at their slumbering daughter. Why, Katy, I don't think she's getting fat. A little tall maybe . . . . No, no, Henry. I mean, well, ever since you kept her out of that training class, well, she's been constantly whispering to that young . . . proboscis next door. Her? and that monkey? Neverln 'GWell, Henry,', Katherine carefully bent her attention on scratching her dainty sole, 6'I'm afraid youill have to decide-it's going to be him or the class. Katherine, you know how I feel about those classes. They ruin a nice decent ape-utterly ruin lem. Turn him in to a . . . a human! Henry, shush, youlre waking . . . He already had, next door a scrawny young simian stirred himself, rubbed his droopy snout, and playfully pitched his wheez- ing mother into their turgid water trough. Henry shud- dered delicately. 'WVhen that keeper comes, Patricia goes to classf, In due time the keeper came, admired Patricia's acro- batic adroitness, and thereafter included her in the group that performed every Sunday afternoon at two. By apish standards, Patricia would never have dared enter a beauty contest: she was too tall, too long-faced, and her hair finstead of cute, curly charcoal fuzzl seemed sparse and sandy. However, at times the keeper suspected her of outwitting him. When summer washed in its usual wave of gooey tots and perspiring grown-ups, Mr. Keep- er, taking pity on his biped population, installed them on a cool island near the park's edge. One coppery after- noon, a wailing, curly-haloed cherub liberated herself from her brother's patronizing fist. Mother,,' he yelped, uketchet! Shels gonna drop my reader in the . . . 'i She did, Patricia soon learned to read. Night held the shadowy enclosures still in its dark, sweetly-scented arms. Patricia gently shook her mother, and as one dreamy eye opened softly murmured Forever and forever, farewell, mother, parting is such sweet sor- row. The moat of that zoo is not exceedingly deep, the floating refuse not overly sharp, and the fence not un- duly repaired. She effected her escape. G'Well!'5 Miss Mons's pleasant face smiled upon the new girl's records, as the child waited without, patiently counting cracks in the linoleum. 6'Brave Patricia! Can't talk, but her marks have certainly been excellent. How fortunate she wasn't born deaff' Miss Mons opened the door. '6Patricia, we're putting you in thel' ther voice involuntarily loweredj special group. Entering the comfortable buzz of the teachers, cafe- teria, two women greeted each other genially, and began conversing. Helen, have you seen that new girl? 'fYes-shels in my 3rd hour math II. munch, sip. 4'Bright child, remarkable. Ummm. Odd, though, the way she moves. On the rings today she nearly gave me heart failure. Oh, Miss Rhobits, did you remember my casserole recipe?,' There went out a decree from the superintendent of schools that every bonafide student should report to the school physician, to have x-rays taken of the effects of the new decay-preventive-di-isobutyl-cresoxy-ethoxy- phenyl-vinyl-in the school water supply. It just so hap- pened that a field trip to The Hyle E. C. Khritt Labora- tories had been scheduled for the afternoon of that self- same day, to include Patricia. Having been duly photoed, Patricia and her classmates rolled off aboard a lumber- ing yellow bus. The young school doctor exploded from his office, dashed in frenzy to the elevator, and finding it temporar- ily maladjusted, did not stand upon formality, but plunged direct to the first floor. Mr, Rhumba, there's a monkey in this school! The assistant principal stuck his head into the hall. Dr, Mors, if YOU ARE REFERRING THAT I . . . ! '6Put me down! Look here-these bicisors and incus- pids . . . I mean inbisors and . . . These teeth arenit human! WHAT! Let me see. 402iA . . . Why this, this crea- ture left with the special group right after they were x-rayedf, The highly eflicient switchboard operator at The Hyle E. C. Khritt Laboratories indulged in a slight undulation of her artistically arched eyebrows and an ,inaudible gasp between her Mortal Passion' lips. Yes, sir, she clicked immediately, they are somewhere in the building. Yes, sir, I will try to contact them. Grimesby, the students' elderly guide, blissfully un- aware that a desperate safari was combing the labyrin- thian labs for him and his enchanted entourage, con- ducted them through two lead electro-sealed doors into the mammoth Circulating Room. Their spacious high school could have been conveniently tucked in a single corner of this bright cement cavern, its entire center was a jungle of vari-colored pipe, ranging in thickness from thirty-two feet to thirty-two hundredths of a millimeter, encased in a web of catwalks, railings, and aluminum steps. At the farthest end perched a cement and glass booth, surmounted by a great globe a fourth or so full of bubbling blood-red liquid. 'Alf that hemosolbin ever boils above the green line, disclosed their pedagogue softly, unless the scientist in that roughbox is willing within minutes to risk his life and yank an untested high- voltage lever, this building will find itself at the bottom of a mushroom-shaped cloud. Within the roughbox, a scientist studied his wrist, after the passing of exactly twenty-nine seconds he would begin to translate infinitely precise equations onto cards to be fed the Univac Control Computer. When this sweetly humming monster had notified all its blinking tubes and servo-mechanisms, for two minutes he would sweat over a red handle, meditating upon how one feels while being electrocuted. If one decimal dot was mis- placed, one white circle punched that should have re- mained, only his hand on this red bridle could choke this creature, could spare the lives of his assistants. just out- side his door a phone br-r-ring-ed jarringly. Fifteen seconds. Why didn't one of the assistants answer the thing? Ten seconds . . .He couldnlt think above that clatter. He leaped across the concrete, whacked the silv- ery swinging door, sprang out upon the catwalk. Yes? he spat into the mouthpiece. Shrilly a voice garbled at him. Quick, there's some kind of animal loose in Circulation. With Grimesby and a bunch of kids! The hysterical voice hung up. Ames, the mathe- matician, snarled in disgust. Turning to give the door a kick he spotted Grimesby and his group of youngsters below. He froze in astonishment, forgetting the door. A sharp thwack echoed across the concrete as the metal struck his skull. Soundlessly Ames slumped forward, stopping the door halfway. Grimesby and his charges glanced upward in dismay. Their actual distance from the booth, though not great as the pipes ran, straight, was tripled by four steep winding staircases encircling the pipe. Squinting anxiously at the slowly rising ruby liquid, Grimesby started up the steps in a hurry. Panting when he had begun, halfway to the first landing the elderly scientist could proceed no further. Naturally the intelli- gent teen agers had perceived impending disaster. Willing to dare anything, every boy looked to their guide for instructions. His thin mouth was taut, his pale skin ghastly, as he commanded in curt hogarse gasps, Inside, turn right . . . the long red lever just below the bank of gaugesf' The young men, their lungs burning, pounded up the gleaming steps. Despite the relentless goading of their wills, the ladder-fashion stairways and glimpses of vast space beneath hindered them considerably. Beside Grimesby, the girls gnawed their upper lips and vainly tried to sever their gaze from the inexorably rising red Huid. Resolutely Chris turned her back, whispering with a shudder, Blood! A huge caldron full of blood! Sud- denly her shrill scream slashed the silence, Pat! What are you doing? Every young ladyls head swivelled around, Grimesby closed his eyes, the boys re-doubled their pace. . Pat, her odd feet bare, scampered lightly up a pipe. As long greedy red tongues lapped that top of the green band, she darted over Amesls prone shape and into the booth. An irate pair of janitors on the same level but separated from Ames by a slender two hundred foot 'Sbridge' spied her and brandished crowbars. A sharp crack cleared the air of doubt, like thunder after oppres- sive calm. Deep within its rebellious vitals the atomic furnace heaved a monstrous sob of disappointment and was still. Almost at the last landing, the boys, who had paused during the crash, proceeded rapidly on, followed at a distance by the girls and Mr. Grimesby. However, the imperturbable janitors reached the booth before them. Wal, commented the grimier, if it din't go 'n conk out Ames. Musta lectercuted itself, good thing-might ia had rabbeesf' He shook his grizzled head, perplexed at how it had entered the lab. After a few moments the young men panted in, Mr. Grimesby at their heels. One of the janitors was in the act of removing Patricia on a shovel, while the other slopped cold water on Ames's bleeding temple. Grimesby averted his face in disgust. See, Mr. Grimesbyf, comforted the 'pall bearerl, can't hurt you now, it's dead. Only a little thing any- way. They all stared in astonished silence. Upon the massive, rusty shovel before them lay a slight, straw- colored bundle of fur, small and limp and pitiful. Only a dumb, soul-less beast, a lump of clay for a few moments molded in fantastic form. Disturbed by Grimes- byis troubled countenance, the puzzled workman put in. H'Tain't as though 'twere a human bean, sir. No,,' responded Grimesby in a very low voice. No, it isnitf' Essay The winning entry in the essay division is one of the funniest pieces we've read in quite a while. Mary Anne Schaefer is to be congratulated on her talent, as is Gerald Bergman, the author of Gremlinsi', the runner-up essay. Hocus Focus by Mary Ann Schaefer lt's Summertime. Listen! Listen - as balmy breezes bring to our ears the shrieks of children at playeand of strong men as their friends slap their sunburned backs! Listen - to the musical burbling of brooks - and of countless swimmers who have swallowed too much water! Summertime brings an uncontrollable urge to capture all of these horrifying experiences so that one can recall them some winter evening as he sits comfortably by the fire. To satisfy this urge, many turn to the means which best accomplishes this, the candid camera. The old-style family album is vanishing from the American home. No longer does the family gather on the sofa and say, i'That,s Grandpa? They are far more likely to remark, That's Grandpa the time he saw the mongoose in his cornflakesf' The camera came into my life a number of months ago. I walked out of the shop with a thin leather strap clinging to my shoulder. I owned the very latest, the very best product of photographic science-an F 1:5, If 1000 of a second, 36 frame, sunshaded, triple lensed, focus coupled, and-a-lot-more-stuff-I-didn't-understand, candid camera! But I was wrong. I am not a miniature camera fan. I am only a citizen who has one and doesn't know how to use it. The camera isn't a complicated instrument, really, but then neither is a golf club. And just as Iive never been able to keep my head down, left arm straight, and hips pivoting all at one time, I have yet to combine in one candid shot perfect focusing, proper light adjust- ment, correct exposure, and pleasant composition. Hours could be taken explaining loading the film, focusing the lens, and setting the exposure, but it would only confuse all of us. So, taking it for granted that we succeed in this, our next consideration is, What shall we take a picture of? First, there are the Scenic Shots. There is great de- mand for this type of picture, and it requires little from the photographer except an income of S100,000 a year. The best subjects for Scenic Shots are: 1. Taj Mahal illuminated by lightning 2. Typhoon-driven seas as seen from a twelve foot sailboat 3. Primitive rites of cannibals in deepest Africa Next we try our hand at Action Shots. Excellent rc- sults may be obtained with types similar to these, especi- ally if the photographer doesn't know the meaning of the word fear : 1. Mad dog coming at camera fuse filter here for foamj 2. Swimmer going down for the last time ltake this at high speed to ensure bubble effeetj 3. Football pileup fshoot from angle of ball carrierj Last we try Unusual Shots. This is a wide field, but here are a few suggestions: 1. Self-portrait during a major operation 2. Interior view of a collapsing burning building 3. Any shot which turns out clearly Now, dear reader, I must go, for I have an appoint- ment with some people who were my friends until they saw the pictures I took of them. Poems In the poetry division, three of the entries were so imaginative, so well-written, and so nearly equal in merit, that we are publishing all three. Each is in a diferent mood, but all are excellent. Also deserving of praise are 1. C. Thier, for Retr0spection , and Ruthanne Ponnech, for Day Dreamsu, the runners-up. Wfhat is she? by Madeline Davis What is she? She is sunlight shining through trees dripping with fresh rain. She is the sweet smell of white rosebuds on a wild vine. She is the soft music of a forest stream tinkling over pure white rocks. She is love. What is she? She is dark blue velvet sprinkled with amber teardrops. She is a blue-white waterfall full of diamond-scaled fishes. She is a deep red rose in whose petals are the hidden desires of mankind. She is love. What is she? She is a blue lagoon in a forest of stately evergreens. She is a tall gray mountain with a white peak rising to heaven. She is the diamond sparkle of stars in the vast expanse of sky unknown to man. She is love. What is she? She is the loveliness of a snowflake newfallen from above. She is the beautiful hues of a rainbow hazy with mist. She is all things beautiful and wonderful and sacred. She is love. Rain and Reverie by Cindy Woodruff The chilling rain pours down in sheetsg The night is full of fog. A policeman prowls the puddled streets Beside his listening dog.

In that manner our life Hows, And the time that quickly goes Has no hope of returning. x, WM ,.,4,1l ?'a5K W m Qrsuriirrfg V X z. ifI'J5y12ff7EifzH fx Q ' J 'lflllilfiif f ,, :max 'LQQV-Agziywl' ,+1:1bffgL55Qf15r5313gf , , , g ,,,',::,7'!T,:f 43355 Qyygg 7,-',1fNuX 1,fff,4,X-gm k X 533, M ,,Mw5,H,, J Y V W, 77 N-Jgqwf k r, - L .f ,if pg , ,,f,.x-Mwigwsfz, 1555 fpy,,11,:::XMh.?.',h ffQw.m', L , ., , ':' me urn:-1' ,fFXfQ'9?3?1:fi.r2vff2g'I 4 -,Fsrifalizgl 1 ' 'f - W 'fffk'-HQ. .V px' ffrgwwfgr ,Nix , -X fmf Nf,:,f,- x, , -, ap , - -V , 41, .2 f x ,c,Q.Awf,1-Xfgm f H - f- -- lf ,ffy X 1-, wif 'X ' L 'W 1'?xM ff iXf1x5 fxfv A Wy' j, .ylf,ff 4,,,Q-' , , 2 , , r:,i,,1z,'m4f+fff 0115 ,Jay , MygjY,1X5Qilfvfh1w11,115 :x X . .

Under the superb Cas usualp clirection of hir. Kublitx, our dramaties department staged the devastat- ingly witty Kaufman and Hart comedy The Man Wlho Came to Dinner . After the wonderful performance last year of Arsenic and Old Lace , our hopes and expectations were high indeed. YN'e were not disappointed. Many of our best actors and actresses had returned as Seniors, and Mr. Kublitx 'idiscoyeredl' such new stars as Diane Gotthcll. Nan Markel, Ellen Wittrnan and Benson Sunshine. The leading role was played by George Strauss, whose talent. ability and stage experience need no introduction. Wle in the audience hung on every word of the bril- liant dialogue, and it is difficult to select one scene as having been particularly memorable. However, it is safe to say that those who saw the play will not soon forget the scene in which the glittering actress, Lorraine Shel- don Qportrayed by Nan Markelj is maneuvered into an Egyptian rnurnrny ease by the irrepressible Banjo CBen- son Sunshinel and carted oH' to Newfoundland. 'I'l'1e Man YVho Caine to Dinner provided a niag- nilicent evening's entertainment for the packed houses to which it played. XVe all look forward with anticipa- tion to next year's production. 113 ASSEMBLIES Wttlt tllt- opt-lung tsl tltt- lull sports svztsotm. llllf Ulllllll- slatsm lm' wl1lt'l1 llt'Illll'lI is llztmotts lwgmt to slmw ltsvll' It wus strmtgvst ztt our pvp 2l5Sl'IIllJllt'SI ltt'1't' wt' wvrt giwn tltv t'lmm't- to slmw our lt'2llllS tltut wt- wt-rt' lwltintl lltvm alll tltt' XYQIX.

I VARIETY SHOW 116 www, Wiithin the past few years, Bennett High School has become famous lor the consistently high quality of its school plays and Variety shows. lt is not our performers alone who are responsible for this, but also a wcll-co- ordinated team of stage hands. publicity and business managers, and ticket salesmen. Our Stage Crew, under the capable and experienced leadership of the Stage Manager, Colin Smith, has added a great deal to the variety shows in particular. Using all of Bennett's stage facilities Cwhich, by the way, are among the best in liulfalol, the boys and girls of the Stage Crew have created dramatic lighting effects which heighten the mood of the number being presented. qt BEHI THE SCENES ,Q 117 The sometimesgsuperhuman task of publicizing our shows and keeping accounts of ticket sales falls to the business and publicity managers. Theirs are the thousand and one tiny worries that must be part of any large pro- duction. No matter what the problem is, however, they always manage to solve it and produce a better show. Ultimately, the job ol' selling tickets is done by the individual homeroom ticket salesmen. 'l'hey act as pub- licity agents also, persuading their parents and friends outside of school to buy tickets. We owe all of these people a great deal, for Bennett's shows would not be what they are without workers bf'- liind Ihr .wrrzea N. Yun-lu, R. Yost, S. Gi'm'11lwi'g. Ci. Strauss, ll. Ulrivh. D. Fwy.

I STUDE T COUNCIL One ol' the most active and beneficial organizations in llennett High School is the Student Council. This group consists ol' pupils who have been elected to represent their homerooms. They convene each Thursday afternoon dur- ing period 5E and discuss matters of importance which are concerned with the general welfare of the school and its activities. Among the worthwhile projects carried out hy this group have been the Christmas Charities Drive. the lletter Dress Campaign. and the support of a Korean foster child. Each year, a full scale charities campaign is carried on hy the Student Council. This year. a result of its etlorts and the generosity of the students. Bennett gave more than hliteen hundred dollars to the various appeals which our Christmas Charities Drive supports. In an ell'ort to make Bennett a liner school. the Stu- dent Council has set up various committees for the pure- pose of improving conditions in the building. The Better Halls and Cafeteria Committee has endeavored to keep students from littering the halls and floors with paper 122 and other refuse, A Nlaintenance Con11nittee studies tl1e school for defects and suggests improvements wherever possible. In trying to improve the general dress of the students, a Better Dress Committee was formed. Its aim was to make the poorly dressed aware of their condition in the hope that they would raise the standards ol' their school by wearing clothes recommended by the Inter- High School Student Council. In addition to these major undertakings. the Student Council has engaged in several smaller. less noticed ac- tivities. These have sometimes consisted ol' service to a special group. An example of this is the assistance ren- dered to the Bennett Community Association by Council members. They telephoned parents ol' the boys or girls in their homerooms to notiliy them of Association meet- ings and to urge them to attend. The Student Council also aided the Community Association by taking over responsibility for publicity and sale of student tickets lor the Pop Concert which the Association sponsored. The size of the audience at the concert indicates the ell'ectix'e- ness of the publicity supplied by the Student Council. Seated: L. Edelman, Travis. Standing: L. Nleyers, Cetman R. Szeglowski, S. Greenberg, C. Chinell, B. Wfeintraub, B. Sun- shine 1 lN'l1en it was brought to the Councils attention that many liennettonians did not know the words ol' our Alma Mater song, a motion was passed to distribute wallet cards with the words printed on them. These cards, combined with more frequent singing of the song in assemblies, have produced a great improvement. An innovation introduced this year has been the method of recording and preserving Student Council minutes. lt is now the duty of the Secretary to prepare a mimeograph stencil of each week's minutes for dis- tribution to all homerooms. Also, all minutes from this and from past years are kept in a special section of the library for reference. Past experiences often prove useful in planning projects. To capably advise the group as a whole, Mrs. Cohen and Mr. Wettlaufer were selected. These teachers give their time and leadership for the betterment of the organization. The Executive Council, a sub-division composed of the officers and one representative from each class, meets on Wednesdays in Mr. Farrar,s Office. It acts as a steer- ing committee, considering legislation before it is sub- mitted to the entire Student Council. The members of this yearis Executive Council are: PI'F.YidI'7Zf.'

Next year, the club is planning to promote sport- ing events in conjunction with the parents' Sports Booster Club. The Civil Defemzf Club was also newly organized this year. In the event ol' an enemy attack. club members will be responsible for keeping order and saving lives.

There are two types, the academic societies such as French Honor- ary Society, Latin Honorary Society, and the Honorary Society of lfnglixlz. and Literature' and the service clubs like the Key Club and the Legion of Honor. One of the most zealous clubs at Bennett is the French Honorary Society. Its membership consists of students who have maintained an average above 92? in French for three terms. This year the society selected modern French civilization as its programming motif. Gertrude Stein, an American in Paris for many years, was the subject of one program. Another starred George Strauss and Bruce VVeintraub who portrayed a scene from Moliere's Le Bourgeois Gentilhommeu. 'gOn Ditn, French Honoraryix newspaper, has survived one publica- tion and will come out again in May. In order to attain membership in the Latin Honorary Society pupils must have an average of 9096 or above for their first year of Latin. Once monthly the spirits of the Caesars retake the scene, for the elubis prime objec- tive is to better acquaint its members with Roman and Greek history and customs. To fulfill this end discussions and quizzes have been held and speakers entertained. The English Honorary Society is made up of Sopho- mores, juniors and Seniors who have maintained an average of 909? in English. Quiz downs on vocabulary .AO and titles and authors of books are the usual on the agenda. The victors often win prizes, a dictionary or maybe a thesaurus, that help them in English work. The newly painted boys' lavatories, the lustrous sports trophies, and the flowers bedecking the school grounds are mute evidence of the Key Clubft service. Their pop and popcorn have energized many an enthusiastic fan at varsity basketball games. And they have sponsored a blood donor drive, assisted in the school's polio innocu- lations, and helped the crippled children at the Shrine circus. Any services not already taken over by the Key Club or the Student Council are left to the Legion of Honor, which is comprised of the outstanding Seniors. One ol its services is the annual conduction of assemblies to recognize monitors, faculty assistants, BEACON staff, and honor students. The Legion has also held much discussion on improving the school. The result of the controversies is a committee formed to limit the number of clubs in which a pupil may participate. lfnzu 1: S.

Skztine TER -HI -Y COUNCIL Centralization is in vogue, and, keeping in step with modern corporate pro- cedure, the Bennett Hi-Y clubs have formed the Inter Hi-Y Council. To this council each Hi-Y sends two representatives who are responsible for running the projects and carrying back information. It is a body of many duties. Despite overwhelming handicaps, it has published its own newspaper. The Wednesday evening before Easter it conducted a service at the Delaware YMCA in which all Hi-Y groups participated. At the moment it is engaged in planning a weekend at YMCA-sponsored Camp Wleona. All Hi-Y mem- bers will be invited to attend the workshops, athletic events, and dances to be held. There is some doubt as to the date of this excursion. but it will most likely take place within the next six months. The Branch Council, another link which brings the Hi-Y clubs under a single control, is composed of deputies from all the clubs in one branch. It co-ordinates their activities with YMCA goals and makes sure that these activities receive the ofhcial okay. It is the YINICA's outlet in its direction of youth in world service, and through this outlet the father organization has sponsored a great many world service projects. In addition, the Branch Council acts as a sort of Dorothy Dix to its member groups, solving for them programming and leadership problems. Climaxing the schemes of all the councils, the Hi-Y clubs held a Youth and Government Statewide Conference in Albany over the weekend of December 15th. Fifty-four Buffalo enthusiasts flocked to the Hotel Wellington, their center while in Albany. The purpose for the weekend was a mock meeting of the state legislature over which Bennetts Ed Sontag presided. Social excitement included a banquet and, to do things up properly, a Governor's Hall. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. By the way, did you know that there are seventy-nine steps leading up to the Capitol building? 129 HI!-Y CLUBS ff The Hi-Y groups are sponsored by the Young hlens Christian Association. Their purpose is to create, main- tain, and extend high standards of character throughout the community. Development of clean speech, clean sportsmanship, clean scholarship, and clean living is their specific goal. In addition to the regular programs such as movies, speakers, joint meetings, and parties, each Hi-Y has its own service projects through which it furthers Hi-Y standards. Take for example the boys of Bennett Boys Hi-Y. They are responsible for training the marshals who carry the flags in our impressive assembly ceremonies. This year in the Hi-Y Mock Senate at Albany, the bill that Bennett Boys Hi-Y proposed was passed. A modified form of the bill is now awaiting the legitimate legislators' approval. North Delaware Hi-Y's biggest scheme was a clean up, fix up, paint up campaign conducted at an extension YMCA in North Tonawanda. Actually it was primarily concerned with painting, but, once done, the boys dis- covered they had a considerable amount of cleaning and fixing up to do on themselves. Along with Alpha Omega Hi-Y, the club has also played an active part in the YMCA's annual Christmas and Easter services. A series of the programs of Senior Girls Hi-Y consisted of learning about dillerent religions. And thanks to Sen- ior Girls we at Bennett had the privilege of sporting 13 mock mums during the football season. Having bought eight hundred pompoms, the girls were determined, by hook or by crook, to get them off their hands. We are happy to say that they not only succeeded in selling all the mums, but they made a prolit of eighty dollars besides. Della Chi Beta, newest of Bennetts Hi-Y groups, spent the larger part of the year in organizing. However, along with ordinary programming, the girls have managed to fit in stimulating panel discussions on subjects ranging from dating problems to careers. Kodaya Hi- Yft claim to fame is the daily raising and lowering ol' the red-white-and-blue on the front lawn. Other activities including a mother and daughter tea have also kept these girls busy. And let us not forget Alpha Omega Hi-Y, those valiant defenders of Lost and Found articles. Bathing suit lost? Pen left in some unknown classroom? Chances are that you can find it before or after school in the depart- ment adjoining Mr. Miller's office. NORTH DELAWARE HI-Y Run' I: D. llllgjlu-s, K, Nfillvr. K.

Three clubs, Future Doctorx, Future Nur.ve.v, and Future 'I'eacl1ffr.v, are set up in order to give students previews of these various professions fblessings and hazards in- cludedl. Those pupils aspiring to the title of M.D. have, in Future DOL'l'07'.Y Club meetings, looked at as many as possible of the specialties in the medical field. One of the most active clubs at Bennett, this organization has had several prominent guest speakers, among them the Dean of Medicine of the University of Buffalo. Also, our medics-to-be have toured such places of interest at Ros- well Park Memorial Institute, Buffalo General Hospital, Millard Fillmore Hospital, and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine. Films and active discussions round out the full program. The Fulufe AlIZlI'.W'.t Club has developed its yearly pro- gram in much the same way as Future Doctors Club. They have toured Buffalo General Hospital and Roswell Park Memorial Clinic, investigating pathology labs and kitchens as well as nursing facilities. An interesting movie they watched showed how the thread used in surgery is made. Another program was planned around Miss McDonald, our school nurse, who spoke about Public Health Nursing. The future nurses have com- memorated the Christmas and Easter holidays with two projects: at Christmas time they sent favors to Children's Hospital, and for Easter they donated money to the nephrosis fund. Many Bennettonians will argue with the statement those who can, do, those who can't, teach . Most of our prospective educators are members of The Future Tearlzmxv of America. On April 12 some of them at- tended a statewide conference of FTA, as it is known, in Fredonia, New York. There they took part in a panel discussion, workshops, and most important of course, a luncheon. Like the other career clubs, Fulure 7'I'!l6'1II,I'.t' has entertained speakers. Most interesting have been those from the University of Buffalo, D'Youville College, and Buffalo State Teachers College. Their current scheme takes the future instructors to the pediatrics ward of Meyer Memorial Hospital where they read fairy tales and adventure stories to the children.

Only participants in l5ennett's dramatic production may belong to this organization. The Debate Society, also an olfshoot of the speech department, is more interested in formal rhetoric. Its members constitute the debating team, which on March 22 held a debate in our auditorium--Resolved: That thc Federal Government Subsidixe College Scholarships. In conjunction with the language department we have the French, Hefbzete, and German clubs. All conduct similar programs featuring songs, dances. and games in the language. Special stress on native customs and thought trends has led to interesting programs peculiar to each country. One of the Frcnzvlz Clubff programs was built entirely around La Marseillaiseu. the national anthem. The song's story, repeated to the club members in French and English. accounted for it's popularity by connecting the spread with Napoleon's conquests. Because of recent events in the Middle East, the Hebrew Club held an unusually line discussion this year. Although the speakers were naturally inclined to favor Israel, the discussion did bring the members further insight into actions in the area. At Christmas time the German Club held a Deutsches Weinachten. or Christmas party. From the land where 1 Christmas trees originated came tales ol Yulctide ob- servations native to Germany. Members sang the ever popular O Tanembaum and Stiller Nacht . The Science Club, Srierzcz' Seminar, and Alallz Club perform a most important function by maintaining student interest in technological work. There is au alarming lack ol' technicians in the United States. and it is hoped that outside activities will encourage high school students to major in maths and sciences in college. The Scietlre Club draws on its own talented members for speakers. Roy Levitch has given a lecture on hered- ity, David Rodbard has spoken on the conservation ol' energy. and Tom Klein has discussed the circulation ol' the blood. The Scictzre Scminfzr deals with practical aspects ol' science. Its primary purpose is to acquaint its members with opportunities in various branches ol scientilic work. Even though the club is in its l'irst year. it has already started a library of scientific books. Members ol' the Aflallz Club delve into mysteries, and we do mean mysteries. such imaginary numbers. games of probability, and revolutionary new numbers systems. lfnzr' l: R. IIUIUISIJII, C.

H The eyes and ears ol the world -Bennett is attuned to them through the jzuzior Council on World Ajfaim. Formed in order to give students 21 more vital interest in current events. the club has grown so steadily that it has been necessary to form another group. Thus the SUfIlI07IlOI't' Council on Worlrl Ajfaim has come into be- ing. but. although it holds separate meetings. its pro- grams and long range projects are combined with those ol' its sponsor. A ferment is brewing in the Middle East. Alliances are being severed and enemies thrown into accord. The junior Council on World Affaizi spotlights the situation with a discussion on that fiery section of the world' What is the lilole ol' the United States in the Miclcllt' East? The members take into account a first hand view of Israel. Louis Tracht1nan's. and catch a glimpse of the country from slides Louis snapped there. The above shows one instance of programming which evidences much research and organization. The Buffalo Council on World Affairs supplies a great deal of help. allowing junior members to attend lectures and giving freely of knowledge and ideas. An Interschool Council on World Affairs. formed this year and led by l5ennett's Sandy Greenberg. has also facilitated program depth for the individual councils. Two minds are better than one . and a group ol' minds at work on world allairs have brought back to their schools new and dillierent ideas. Rott!

Each in a different way, our various groups of monitors make things easier for us and the faculty. The teachers' attendance slips are collected each day by the attendance monitors. They also record tardiness and in general are responsible for verifying and sub- mitting these figures to the office. The lzall monitozzv maintain order in the halls and assist visitors to the school. This is more important than it may seem, for a visitor's first impression of Bennett is often given by a hall monitor. Pupils who are on the honor roll and can do ofiice work may become office monitors. Among their many and varied duties are typing, filing, taking phone mes- sages, and operating the ofiice switchboards. Assisting Miss Croll, the librarian, are the library monitors. They collect and deliver library slips, check books in and out, and arrange the display on the library's bulletin board. Speaking of books. this time of textbooks. a group that is well acquainted with that part of our studies is the bookroom monitorx. They deliver sets of books now in stock and, when a new set arrives, they see that the new books are checked, stamped, classified, and taken to the teacher who ordered them. The pupils who serve as .vludent .supply .store monitors make possible the operation of the school store, which carries everything from fountain pens to pompoms and megaphones fwhen in seasonj. A service which helps almost all of us at some time is provided by the loxt and found monitors. Under the direction of Alpha Omega Hi-Y, the lost and found department has been a real blessing to many Bennet- tonians. Ol' valuable assistance to Miss Mllntz, Mr's. Matte1'a, Mr. Gilbert and Mr. Hill are the guidance monitors. They file cards, act as receptionists, and run the thousand and one errands that the guidance ofiicc requires. The gym monitorx do a little of everything, from get- ting the girls out of the locker room and into the gym, to taking over the class when the teacher is occupied. The swimming monitorzv, all of whom have passed the junior Lifesaving test, guard the pool and help the teachers instruct. The cafeteria monitorx really have their hands full. It takes a great deal of patience and Hrmness to control the potential riots in our eafeterias. The entire student body has cause to thank the mem- bers of the projection xtaj. In addition to running Eco- nomic World and Health movies, these boys operate the projector for our assembly films. Another group of boys that assists in assembly pro- grams is the flag marslzals. Under the direction of Ben- nett Boys Hi-Y, the flag marshals present the colors in assembly and train others to do so. Last, but by no means least are the members of the safety patrol. These boys guard the crossing in front of school every day, in spite of the bad weather we have so often. GUIDANCE AND LOST 81 FOUND MONITORS Ruzu I: Ii. Gmocl, Il. IYIDOIIIICI, S. IYOOSWY, A.

This is due largely to two factors winning teams and the Bennett Sports Boosters. Founded originally by the fathers ol a few of our loot- ball players for the purpose of boosting their sons' morale, this group has grown steadily, and it now includes many people in the community interested in liennett's teams. The scope of the club's activities has grown along with its size. Its aims now are to raise money for badly needed sports equipment and to increase enthusiasm and attend- ance at school sporting events. In order to carry out these goals more eHiciently, the organization has elected as its officers: Mr. Harold Adel CPresiclentJ, Mr. John Rynne tVice-Presidentl, Mr. Thomas Goldsmith fSecre- taryl. and Mr. Patrick Ritz tTreasurerJ. Toni Gold- smith and some of the other officers have become fixtures in the gym oflice and at our Letter Day assemblies. And. speaking ol' fixtures, no one could help noticing the omni- present Tiger buttons the club has sold. The sight oli so many people, both students and adults, wearing these portable billboards is an indication of how well the lien- nett Sports Boosters are living up to their name and, incidentally. ot' how much money they have raised.

Shleser BENNETT IN A WORLD COMMUNITY 15 'l'he world is growing smaller every clay . and lien- nett High School is going right along with the trend towards internationalism. This year, we have partici- pated in two plans whereby Bennettonians are exchanged for students of other countries. Under the auspices ol' the Student Council and the Principals' Association of llullialo, twelve of our students visited Northern Technical-Commercial School in 'l'o- ronto, Canada. 'l'hey were shown around the school and the city by members of '1'oronto's 'l'rans-Lake Club. A few weeks later. several members ol' this club returned the visit as they came to llullalo to observe the city in general and Bennett High School in particular, Several new ideas crossed the border in both directions as a result of this plan. and it is hoped that it will be repeated next year. A separate plan gives a few of our students an oppor- tunity to live and go to college in Panama for almost a year. Sponsored by the Wlorld Fellowship Organization, Patricia Regester and Jayne Truckenport were flown to Panama in and will return in February. They will attend the University of Panama. and upon their return to this country they will receive full college credit lor all courses they may take in Panama. 'l'here is the possibility also that a few llennettonians will visit Panama for the summer months. If this be- comes a reality, another step will have been taken toward better international relations. ALUMN One score and twelve years ago our fathers brought forth on this ground a new school, conceived in educa- tion, and dedicated to the proposition that all students are created equal fwhether on the honor roll or notj. Now Bennett is engaged . . . Joyce Shupe, '56, to Howard Goldstein, '54 Jeanette Lucci, '55, to Giulio Michienzi, '55 Marilyn Bass, '54, to Ronald Dozoretz, '53 Doreen Birnbaum, '55, to William Ginsberg, '54 Deanne Abelson, '55, to Harvey Kardaman, '54 Diane Duquin, '55, to Peter Zabel, '54 . . . in a great battle, testing whether the memory of former students of that school, or memories of any stud- ents so devoted and so fabulous , can long endure. We fthe student bodyj are met near a great battle-field fAll High Stadiumj. We dedicate ourselves to a final remembrance of those who here did their best that this school might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. On U.B.'s freshman football team are Bill Gilbert and Clarke Vidian, '56. Dave Stiller is doing his best to win a berth on Cornell's swimming team. Phil Hubbell and Leigh Severance, '56, are dis- playing their basketball talents at Duke University and Northwestern University, respectively. Alfred University's varsity football and freshman basketball teams are lucky enough to include Tom Cechini, '56. But, in a larger sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow these or any other alumni. Those pupils, now in colleges near and far, who were educated at Bennett . . . Attending the University of Buffalo: Marilyn Bass, '54, our famed pianist, is continu- ing her studies in the Music Department. Judy Bernbeck, '56, can be found busily working as co-editor of the Neuman News. Other Bennettonians found here and there on the U. B. campus are George Markarian, Jean Parrott, Larry Treger, Ronnie Willig, Don Cusack, Frank Ehrlich, and Flo Vizzi, all from the class of '56. We also see Charles Blinkoff, '54, Pat Aaron, '55, Ron- ald Dozoretz, '53, Joan Feinstein, '55, and Sue Mar- ehant, '55, throughout the halls of wisdom. Far, far away: Donald Gonson, '54, is now studying at Oxford University in England as an exchange student from Columbia University. Gail Mendelow, '55, after studying one year in Switzerland, is now attending Miami University. Future scientists Sandy Ashton, Bill Beutner, Steve Greenberg, Bruce Konrad, and Marvin Lieb- ler, all of the class of '56, are doing very well at R.P.I. Louis Brock and Peter Silverberg, '56, and Dick Dattner, '55, are sweating it out at M.I.T., and David Krantz, '56, is at Yale. David, although holding down two jobs and carrying a wicked sched- ule, is in Yale's upper 3Wy. . . . have dedicated themselves far above our poor power to add or detract. Readers will little note nor long remember what we say here: but they should never for- get what those pupils did. It is for us, the present stud- ents, rather to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who were here educated have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored alumni . . . Lorraine Huber, class of '55, was elected Secre- tary of the Sophomore Class at the University of Buffalo after successfully completing her fine work as a Freshman. Her long list of activities also in- cludes work on the Silver Ball and the Spectrum. Congratulations to Ronald Benice, '55, who is maintaining an A average at U. B.'s Medical School, and to Harold Sunshine, '52, who recently won a scholarship for graduate work there. On the foreign circuit, Stuart Polisner, class of '55, has received the Freshman of the Year Award at Western Reserve University. Congratulations. Herbert Berkoff, '55, is maintaining his splendid record at Columbia by making the Dean's List. Peter Honig, '54, studying Pre-Med at Cornell, has been chosen a member of the Cornell Inter- F ratemity Council. Nancy Wagner, '55, has been elected Secretary of the Women's Council at Alfred University. Bennett is also proud of Richard Lederman, '56, who has been chosen ,Assistant Concertmaster at Princeton. . . . we take increased devotion to the school to which they gave the fullest measure of devotiong that we here highly resolve that these alumni shall not have attended Bennett in vain,' that this school shall have a new birth... Married: Jaclyn Jacobs, '55, to Fred Abeles, '52 Nancy Van Slyke, '55, to William Goff, '53 Barbara Goldstein, '54, to Marshall Falk, '55 Also: Richard Hocking, '52, Jackie Truckenport, 53, Sandra Sultanik, '55, Mary Lou White, '56, Judy Warner, '55, Donna Schultz, '54, Jill Truckenport, '51, Jackie Gonzales, '54, Dorothy Hill, '56 Sally Myers, '54, Ruth Ball, '51, Sheila Rapport, '55, and Joyce Harrington, '55, Binnie Zolte, '55. . . . of scholarships and championship teams, and that memories of the students, by the students, and for the students, shall not perish from Main Street.

X H The 1956 football season, our third under Coach john Walker, ended on a fairly successful note as our boys managed to cop third place in the final standings. In fact, we were on the verge of our first Harvard Cup since 1952, had we not been defeated by arch-rival Kensington in our final regular-season skirmish. vwlmlfrzw The practice sessions began early in September with an air of optimism, for we had seven returning letter- men: co-captains Frank DeYoung and Bill Hedger, line- men Ray Skaine, Art Serotte, Larry Edelman, and Bob Borneman, and end Don Irving. Wle knew we had championship material in the forward line, which, with Haze I: D. Rynne, R. Skaine, A, Pringle, N. Ritz. IV. Hedger, D. Sehoen, li. Iidelnian, D. Irving, A. Serotte. Rott' II: R.

Gilbert 165 l s veteran end Dave Rynne, was complete. However, it was necessary to build a new baekheld around Hedger. This consisted of Neil Ritz, who missed last season be- cause of an injured back, Dennis Schoen, and freshman quarterback Don Gilbert. Others who played regularly throughout the season were Dick Dee, Larry Perlstein, joe Flood, Carl johnson, Art Pringle, Jim Adel, Neil Bedell, and Paul Hennessey. Our lirst game was with Technical. and after trailing 6-O for most of the game, we pushed across a last-period touchdown on a pass from Don Gilbert to Don Irving. Bill Hedger plunged for the extra point, and we had victory number one under our belt by a score of 7-6. The following week we were pitted against the strong Indians of Seneca, a pre-season favorite. However. Gil- bert passed to Dave Rynne for an early touchdown, and after holding the Seneca powerhouse practically score- less, we won 6-2. This was listed as the first upset of the young season. One week later we took on South Park, the undefeated leaders of League I, the opposite loop from ours. The Sparks showed why they were unbeaten by quickly open- ing a 13-0 lead in the hrst quarter. But then Neil Ritz took over. He powerhoused for three big touchdowns. and the Tigers had scored another g'upset , dumping South Park by the final count ol' l8-13. W'e were now considered a threat in our league. and our next game was with liurgard. the so-called push- over' which had lost all its games. We were warned by Coach Wlalker and his two very able assistants, 'Iaek Maar and Don Sherger, against coekiness, but we ran out on the field that day confident of victory. This game, however, did not end quite as we had expected, for when the dust had settled, we had barely eked out a tight ffl-I2 win. with our six-pointers heing notched hy Ritz and Irving. After a close one like that. we were certain that we would never again he hothered hy over-confidence. Then. as happens every season. came our hig game , We were matched against the undefeated Orientals of East. winner of the last three Harvard Cup titles. and losers of only two games since 1953. They were also unheaten this year, and heavily favored to conquer the Tigers and win the Cup again. However, the high school football fans of Buffalo were shocked when the combina- tion of a Hedger-to-Rynne pass and a rock-ribbed de- fense led by Skaine. Serotte. and DeYoung sent the Orien- tals home with a 6-U vanquishment at the hands of our Tigers. We had now clinched at least a tie for the League II crown. and we had only to defeat our old rival. Kensington. to qualify for the championship game on Thanksgiving Day, We entered that game with great hopes. but knowing how a Bennett-Ken game is played. those hopes were shattered when the end of the game found us on the short end of a 12-6 score. Our only touchdown was scored hy Dennis Schoen on a pass from Hedger. This forced a tie for the leadership of League ll. and neces- sitated a Bennett-East playoff to determine our league's representative in the championship final. Our luck. however. once again failed us in that game. and East rompcd 32-6. with Rynne ringing up the Tiger points. As a result. we would play lVfcKinley for third place in the Thanksgiving Day Cfonsolation Final. On Turkey Day. the hoys clicked again. and we dc- feated the Macks hy a 9-6 count. Our scoring consisted of a Neil Ritz touchdown. an upright-splitting kick hy Ray Skainc for the extra point. and a safety. ln the title game. East battled Grover Cleveland to a scoreless tie. and the teams were declared co-champions for the Har- vard Cup. The culmination of this finest season in four years was reached when. in addition to our high position in the Final standings. two of our boys. Ray Skainc and Art Serotte. were named to the First All-High Team. and Bill Hedger. Neil Ritz. and Dave Rynne were awarded Honorahle Mention. Further honor was brought to lien- nett when Raymond Skaine hecame the first liennetton- ian named to the Scholastic Coaches' All-American High School team. Every hoy on the foothall team should he congratu- lated for bringing such honor to our school and we hope that we may have as fine a team to represent Bennett High in the years to come.

Thest wart thc words of Fred Braun, coach of the 1957 Yale Cup Champions, the Bennett Tigers. Corning from Coach Braun, who usually underrates his team, this IS a state ment that Bennettonians can be proud of now and 1n the years to come. How was this great feat accom plished? Let us say it was the kind of cooperative effort that hinges on the faithful duties of everyone connected with the team, from the coach and his players right down to the statistician and scorekeepers. Compiling a record of ten wins and one loss. this was definitely thc most Launching the 1957 season with a smash Bcnnttt dis posed of highly rated Lafayette, on the latter s couit Carmen lannaccone's floor play and set shots couplcd with Alan Berke's rebounding were prima factors in en abling us to obtain a 58-52 victory in a last minute Bennett completely vanquished its second opponent Riverside by an 82 to 64 score. Ken Parr showed his potential by caging 29 points and bringing down many rebounds. The team began to show its experitnctd ball handlers in Carm lannaccone, Larry Shine and Talbot Freeland, all of whom scored in double figures The Tiger's next victim was a stubborn Emerson ball club that finally went down to defeat by the scorn of 84 to 79. Ken Parr again showed the way with 29 points Larry Shine's second half shooting and fine defensivt play proved an important factor. After this victory our ' - f ' h . l' , as solid contenders The high point of the season was Bennetts 69 to 4-1 esent rival, Kcnsington lht Getting off to a rather shaky start Bennett put down a never-say-die South Park team, outscoring them 58 to 52. For the fourth consecutive time, Ken Parr led all scorers with 20 points and played a fine rebounding game. The Tigers made it six in a row by rolling over Grover Cleveland 52 to 33. Although Parr was once again at the head of the scorecard with 20 points, credit must be given to Al Berke who put 13 points through the hoops and held Grover's Clinton to 10. Number seven to fall to the red hot Bennett team was Seneca. The outcome was a 53 to 42 score with Seneca on the short end. Larry Shine stepped into the lime- light netting 18 points, followed by Parr with 13. Car- men Iannaccone and Talbot Freeland were instrumental as defensive players. Both limited their men to six points. Featuring accurate shooting and phenomenal passing, our cagers ran rampant over McKinley. In compiling a 71-54 victory, every substitute was able to see action. Carmen Iannaccone's passes proved to be something spectacular in this contest. Alan Berke led the offense with 23 points. Freeland and Shine split 30 and Parr had 14. Bennett's undefeated Tigers all but ended the cham- pionship race when they defeated host Burgard by a 67 to 51 tally. Our coachas basketball savvy showed itself quickly against the Bulldogs. As a result of his diagnosis of the situation, Parr quickly siezed a fine offensive op- portunity, rolling up the first 20 points all alone. Parr ultimately dropped 29 points through the cords. Free- land,s 16 markers were second high and Larry Shine turned in a commendable job of Hoor play. Row I: D. Gilbert, B. Levine, DeCarolis, K. Parr, L. Shine, T. Freeland, A. Berke, C. MeClaney.

The title was clinched when Bennett emerged victori- ous over a fine team from East. Ken Parr. who carrie through for the Tigers all season, did it again with 27 points. Our starters showed their expert ability to play as an organized unit as every boy turned in a near peak performance. The final outcome was 53 to 49. Although quite incidental as far as the team standings in the Yale Cup series were concerned, we suffered our first and only regular-season loss to a powerful aggrega- tion from Technical by a small margin, 45 to 43. Larry Shine and Carm Iannaccone split 20 points. However. it is proper to note that the lowest shooting percentage registered by our team this year occurred in this en- gagement. A somber note was interjected in our record when Bennett succumbed to a powerful East team, in the first public high school playoff series. Our players, without the services of Freeland, put up a hard light but were finally overpowered 54 to 49. As a result of outstanding play during the season. Clar- inen lannaccone and Ken Parr were named to lirst All- High position. Larry Shine and Talbot Freeland were recipients of an honorable mention award. Carl McClaney. Bernard Levine, Don Gilbert, Ed Wlagner, and John Deflarolis also are deserving of honor, having played excellent games as substitutes. A note of credit must be given to Don Sadkin and Robert Yost. who performed their managerial duties excellently. Graduation will claim the following: Larry Shine. Ken Parr. Bernie Levine, Clarm lannaccone. Phil Lind- ner, Ed lN'agner, Buzz Serotte. and -john llellarolis. But we can look forward to another successful season next year with returning regulars Alan Berke.

Boykins TRACK With only a smattering of returning lettermen, our chances for a winning season in 1956 looked rather slim. However, with the performances of such stalwarts as Tom Cechini, Dick Cummings and Doug Lang, our hopes skyrocketed. This optimism was not unfounded, for in the Hrst meet of the season, the team placed a commendable second to the ultimate city champions, East High, by a score of 60-1X6 to 24-1f2. Emerson brought up the rear with 13-U3 points. Bennett was toppled in the following meet by strong teams from Seneca and Kensington. The score was: Seneca 5926, Kensington 21, and Bennett HSM. In our third meet, Bennett tallied 41 points to emerge victorious at last. We triumphed over Lafayette and McKinley, with 38 and 20 points, respectively. it -1 ffi ii 6 - 1 ,M aw gg, 170 Wle again placed second in our final meet, succumbing to Riverside by only eight points, 43 to 35. In the third spot was Grover Cleveland with 21. In the All-High Meet, the big one as far as Scalp and Blade competition is concerned, our boys came through in Hne fashion. They captured sixth place in a field of twelve. Bennett's high spot came when Richard Cum- mings ,captured first place in the pole vault, gaining All- High rank for himself. Doug Lang finished third in the mile, and Tom Cechini placed fourth in the 180 yard low hurdles to round out our score. Our Freshman Relay team, composed of Dennis Clark, Arthur Lloyd, Chuck Meyers and Frank Ralabate raised our hopes for a successful 1957 season when they Hnished first, gaining All-High fame. CROSS COU TRY The season commenced with a triangular meet in which Bennett copped second place. lVIcKinley placed first with 21 pointsg runner-up Bennett had 52, and bringing up the rear was Burgard with 51. In our second encounter, the Tigers were edged by a strong Technical team and our arch-rival, Kensington. The Hnal results were: Technical 34, Kensington 39, and Bennett 46. Working harder than ever, the third run found Ben- nett grinding to a tie with Seneca for First place. Both teams scored 28 points. Far behind, completely over- whelmed, was Lafayette with 115 points. The final preliminary meet found Bennett pitted against the harriers from East and South Park. Bennett emerged second best. The scoreboard for this meet showed: East 34, Bennett 40, and South Park 69. This contest served as a warm-up for the Columbia Cup All- High Cross Country Run which determines supremacy in long distance running. As in other years the Columbia Cup Run was con- tested over the 2.9 mile route around Delaware Park Lake. Bennett placed seventh among the twelve schools participating. First man across the finish line wearing the orange and blue was Frank Ralabate in 14th place. Following him were Bob Mosedale, 18thg .lim Vixzi, 39th, Bob Haber, 51st, Roger Batt, 54th, Patil Young, 55th, Doug Schmall, 56th, and Alan Erenstoft who fin- ished 7Oth. All of these boys qualihed for a major letter. Credit must also be given to Charles Boykins, Dave Hughes, Jacob Korman, Ken Ostberg, Alan Raines, and Ernie Shosho who helped Bennett ring up the points in the preliminary meets. Praise is owed to Leslie Ingraham, who ably performed his managerial duties. V Row l.' M. Goodman, R. Skaine, AI. Brunner, C. Guaradalibene, R. Burghen, T. Cechini, R. Cum- mings, D. Lang, Flower, B.

Last year, Bennett had the hest tennis season in the history of Buf- falo High School tennis. Never was there a unit with such halance, depth, and ability as the one coached by Rudolph Hcis in 1956. In 1956 Bennett broke every existing high school tennis record. The team finished with a match record of 55-0 and a team record ol ll-O. In addition, the Bennett netters won 109 sets while losing only l. As if that wasn't enough. every boy on the team was chosen on the All- High tennis team. After several tune-up matches, the boys were keyed for action. As a result, the Bennett netters breezed through ten straight matches. The eleventh was the one which caused everyone, especially Mr. Heis, great con- cern. Our foe for the finale was Bennett's arch-rival, Kensington. The Bapst Cup, the undefeated season, and the All-High honors were all decided by this one match. To add to everyone's concern, half of our first doubles combination, Gerald Carp, became ill. Alan Gerstel, a freshman. was called upon to replace Carp. A crowd of 500 people assembled to watch Bennett's Tigers achieve all their goals: the cup, the record, and the medals. 172 The East game, our final regular season contest, was somewhat of a massacre. We were leading by three runs in the third inning when the East pitcher became so riled by the cheering of one of our ardent rooters, that he lost all control and gave up five runs. This game was high- lighted by Bob Hager's tremendous belt, almost out of sight. At the close of the game Bennett was on the long end of a 14 to 2 decision. The great championship battle with Grover Cleveland took place in the vast confines of Offerman Stadium be- fore the largest crowd of the season. Although meeting the rugged Presidents, for the first time, the team members were at ease and quickly settled down to play- ing top flight ball. The 'Tresidentsll mighty bats proved no match for the pitching ability of our own John DeCarolis, who had them stymied throughout the contest. We emerged vic- torious, 5 to 2. This game truly showed the great ability of our line team, several members of which will receive the laurels they rightly deserve if they can capture the title for the third straight year, and thus retire the Cornell Cup. Our prospects for accomplishing this feat are excep- tionally good, with the return of eleven of last year's four- teen men, namely: Fran DeYoung, Jerry Carney, David Stanton, Bob Hager, John DeCarolis, Paul Emerick, Carm Iannaccone, Paul Hennessey, Ralph Monkarsh, Murray Munschen, and jerry Simon. Add to this the one or two fine new prospects that Coach Braun always manages to come up with, and you have a pretty fair ball club. Row I: J. Carney, W. Simpson D. DelBello, P.

Over fifty per cent of the girls at Bennett take advantage of these sports activities. No extraordin- ary athletic abilities are required. In the Freshman and the Sophomore years, one hundred and fifty points are neeessary to obtain a letter. Each sport, baseball, basket- ball. or volleyball, is worth hfty points. Swimming tests oll'er another way in which to accumulate points. In the Junior and Senior years of participation, only one hun- dred points are needed. The treasured Gold 'LBS is awarded in an annual assembly when five hundred points have been achieved. 33 ODE IO GYM 'l'wo times a week the search begins For blouses, shorts, and safety pins.

The skill of the members of both teams kept the ball constantly moving, and each successful basket called for excited shouts from the teammates. At the end of the first half, the score was tied at 6-6. A basket by one was imme- diately matched by the other team. The score was tied at 12-12, when, in the closing seconds of the match, Senior 6 rallied and a successful shot nipped Junior 5 at 14-12.

In order to become well trained in their synchronized procedures, these forty Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors have faithfully reported for practice almost every morn- ing. Bennett's Drill Team was the first of the Buffalo high school marching teams to make use of pompoms in their routines. These orange and blue pompoms added a new touch. Not only has the Drill Team increased the spirit at the football games, but the girls also performed in the annual Bennett-Ken pep assembly. This busy group would not have run as smoothly without the aid of Mrs. Strunk and Mrs. llaeobs. who were the teamls advisors. Our thanks and good luek in the ensuing years to the mem- bers of the Drill Team. In the fall the cry of batter upw is heard in the gym, and with these words girls' baseball gets under way. After a few weeks of practice, the Round Robin series begins. In this way, teams are eliminated until only two remain. These teams compete for the baseball cham- pionship. This year's final game, which proved to be an exciting one right from the start, was between Senior 6 and Junior 5-1. Through skillful manipulation of bat and ball, Senior 6 emerged the victor.
