LLOYD A. MILLER Assistant Principal 4 Each year our graduates face new problems and chal- lenges. At this time we see the Russians developing rapidly in the Held of science and we are attempting to solve some of the mysteries of outer space. After a long period of human strife and business development, many countries are feeling the effects of inflation and the beginning of a recession which we hope will be temporary. The basic education you have received at Bennett will help you to develop further your ability to solve new problems. Let these four years not be the end of your education but rather a foundation for your further en- deavors. Your many extra activities and your contacts with teachers and other students have developed your person- ality. This combination of ability and personality will help you achieve success in life. Do the very best you can and your rewards will be great. LLOYD A. MILLER

ISIMONB FARRAR, Pvfincqbal 4 To The Members of The Class of 1958 During the Hrst assembly, when I became Principal of Bennett High School in September 1933, I tried to acquaint the student body with my thoughts on conduct and attitudes which would help make them develop properly and make Bennett High School one of the best. Some of these ideas have been repeated many times, and are just as applicable today as in 1933. This is an educational institution and you are attend- ing here with the idea of obtaining as good an education as possible, so start today by developing good study habits and being conscientious about your assignments. Let's have 2095 of our school on the honor roll instead of the traditional MDW. Participate in extra after school activi- ties, and develop leadership qualities. Donlt be a smart aleck . Develop a pleasing personality and a good char- acter, be courteous and gracious, dress neatly, be loyal to your school, your home, and your community. Be orderly and reasonably quiet in the halls and cafe- teria. Give courteous attention during assembly program, applaud vigorously, but don't be rowdyish. Keep your school property looking neat, the halls, the walls, the outside of the building on the walks and lawn. Obey all school laws. Be conscientious, courteous, and cooper- ate with all the teachers who are trying to help you in obtaining a good educationf' Keep some of these thoughts uppermost in your mind, and I am sure that your future will be full of happiness, success, and good fortune. Sincerely, EMMONS B. FARRAR

G IDANCE STAFF Left to right: Mr. Hill, Miss Muntz CChairmanD, Mr. Gilbert, Mrs. Mattera No members of the Bennett faculty are more popular or held in greater esteem by the student body, than are the school Guidance Counselors. Whether confronted by a major problem concerning school curriculum, or just seeking information about college life, a student can readily obtain personal interest and expert advice from Mr. Hill, Miss Muntz, Mrs. Mattera, and Mr. Gilbert. Friends, as well as advisors, the Guidance Counseloris first and last concern is the welfare of every individual student. In an effort to aid pupils in their preparation for the future, the Guidance Oflice sponsors various programs throughout the year dealing with college and vocational planning. The two most notable of these are College Day and Career Day. The former consists of a group of con- ferences in which representatives from various colleges discuss such factors as admittance requirements and edu- cational offerings of their respective schools. The latter is a program whereby leading members of different voca- tions describe the preparatory training, nature, and benents of their work. Both College and Career Day pro- vide an enlightening experience for those pondering over their post-graduate days.
