I-ehmbeck DEDICATIO The students of Bennett High School take great pride in dedicating the 1959 edition of the BEACON to our new principal, Lloyd A. Miller. The entire stu- dent body rejoiced last june upon learning that the difficult task of guiding Bene nett forward to even greater heights was to pass into the capable hands of Mr. Miller. A graduate of Hutchinson High School, Lloyd Miller furthered his education at Bul'falo's own university. There he received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration and his Masters Degree in Education. Riverside High School was the first to feel his valuable influence, hrst as a teacher of business and later as assistant principal. In 1957, Mr. Miller came to Bennett from East High School where he had also served as assistant principal. Mr. lNliller's hearty support of Bennetts' teams reflects not only his loyalty to our school, but also his avid interest in the world of sports. Summer finds him spending many enjoyable hours fishing and water skiing from his fourteen foot craft. During the opposite months of the year, ice skating, a family activity, pro- vides wholesome relaxation from the demanding duties of a principalship. His short term as assistant principal of Bennett was positive proof of Mr. Mil- ler's outstanding ability to work with teenagers. The task of handling discipline cases was a diflicult one. His willingness, however. to see a problem from the stu- dent's viewpoint and handle it with understanding guidance, yet firm action, won for Mr. Miller the respect and admiration of the entire student body and faculty. For his valuable help and co-operation throughout the year, the Beacon Staff extends sincere thanks to Mr. Miller and echoes the sentiment of the entire school by declaring: XN'elcome Aboard Skipper. 2 FOREWORD There is a society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roarg I love not man the less, but nature more. -LORD BYRON As man turns to nature to find comfort from the complexities of the modern world, he tends to look to the sea as a mirror to reflect his sundry moods. Perhaps it is the tranquility of the sea which attracts man most of all, for in this he finds peace of mind. Man is often referred to as a ship and an analogy is likewise drawn between his life and the sea. When the seas become turbulent, it is the nature of the crew to look toward the eventual calm. So it is with the mind of man. The lakes, rivers, and oceans allow man to release his everyday tensions through canoeing, sailing, and other water sports, as Well as through the passive pleasure derived from watching nature's soothing waters. Throughout the pages of this book we have attempted to create an atmosphere which, also, will pro- duce the relaxation brought forth by the sea. Gradually our city is being brought closer to the sea. The construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway will bring about the development of Buffalo as an impor- tant world seaport, this position is vital to her industry and commerce. Inevi- tably, there will be a profound effect upon the lives of her future citizens. As students of Bennett, we are directly concerned with the new importance of Buifalo, brought about by the unprecedented nearness of the ocean. Thus, it is both fitting and proper that the theme of the 1959 Bennett BEA- CON be of a nautical nature. We appreciate not only the beauty of the sea, but also its value to our city and its effects on the future lives of the students of Bennett. -james Blinkog 3 in iwlzmuriam ABRAHAM AXELROD 1906-1958 Bennett High School, along with the entire city of Buffalo, was saddened at the passing of Abraham Axelrod, principal of Lafayette High School. Mr. Axelrod will always be fondly remembered at Bennett, because of his devoted service to the school, first as a science teacher and later, as assistant prin- cipal until 1952. In this position, he achieved the respect and admiration of every teacher and student in Bennett. The students and faculty, and all those who knew him, deeply regret the untimely passing of Abraham Axelrod on December 18, 1958. 4 V1 TABLE OF CGNTENTS ADMINISTRATION SENIORS ....I,.I,...

MILLER Principal Since the theme of this year's BEACON is nautical, it could be said that this is our first year with a new skipper since the retirement of Mr. Emmons B. Farrar. I trust that you feel the voyage this year has been truly worthwhile and successful. Our good ship Bennett has been physically refurbished'with the installation of new fluorescent lights, a new telephone system, changes in the construction and uses of some rooms, a new room numberings system, and fresh new paint throughout. More important than the physical aspects are the continued achieve- ments of the students in athletics and scholarship. At the time of this writing we have already won two championship cups, the Columbia Cup for Cross Country and the Harvard Cup for Football. Scholastic achievements of our students indicate that we may equal or surpass our record last year of winning college scholarships valued at more than a quarter of a million dollars. The success of our Honors and Scholarship Pro- grams has led to further enrichment of courses. An experimental Physics course was instituted and further diversification of studies on the first year level was tried with success. Truly we have continued onward to give each pupil the oppor- tunity to develop to the full extent of his ability. I extend to each of you congratulations on your achievements, and best wishes for your future success. Sincerely yours, i 8 To the Graduates: In the past four years, your parents and teachers have tried to direct your course away from the shallows of pettiness into the broad currents of life which are most worth while. May you continue to grow intellectually and spiritually, never straying from the high ideals which have become your heritage. This, above all, will enable you to meet the challenges which the future years undoubt- edly hold. When the time comes for reminiscing, I am sure that you will remember the years at Bennett High School with warmth and affection. Your graduation will loom ever larger as your first great achievement in life. The friends and teachers of these years will never be forgotten as Bennett will never forget you. This class will always remain personally dear to me, for it is my first Bennett graduating class. And so, with high hopes and heartiest faith in each and everyone of you, I quote that comprehending poet, Robert Browning, who suggests that we all Greet the unseen with a cheer! fazaffinf Assistant Principal MORRIS RAIKEN 9 OFFICE STAFF No time for siesta lor Miss Shanley, Miss Biehler, Mrs. Owen, and Mrs. Schaefer. Under the direction ol' our new principal, Mr. Miller, and our assistant principal, Mr. Raiken, they comprise Bennett's busy ollice stall' whose task it is to coordinate the school's diversihed activities. Miss Shanley, as head ol' this department, super- vises oflice work in general, and also recruits office and hall monitors. Wlith Miss Biehler's capable man- agement, all hnancial records are kept in order. Homerootn notices are also a part ol her duties. Stu- dent IJCTIIIZIIICIII record cards and absentee reports are under the supervision of Mrs. Owen. Mrs. Schaefer handles Mr. Miller's correspondance as well as the other mail entering and leaving Bennett. Bennett owes a debt of gratitude to these capable people.

GUIDANCE STAFF MARY K. MATTERA Cornell University B.S. M.S. FLOYD B. HILL Hobart B.S. University of Buffalo M.Ed. To an untrained eye, the Guidance Oliice is a com- bination of Grand Central Station, a noisy library, and a conglomeration of filing cabinets. However, active Bennettonians know that 112, besides having all these distinct features, is one of the best-loved and most inhabited rooms in Bennett. It is here that the student may receive invaluable assistance in planning his course, choosing a college, or selecting a career from our able counselors: Mr. Hill, Mrs. Mattera, Miss Muntz, and our neophytc Mr. Guadagno. A new addition to this staff is Mrs. Gugulis, who has proven indispensible as secretary to the counselors. Two of the outstanding projects undertaken by the Guidance staff are College Day and Career Day. The former, this year limited to Juniors, affords the stu- dent an opportunity to meet representatives of vari- ous colleges and to discuss with them admission re- quirements, scholarship opportunities, and college life. Career Day enables each pupil to gain an insight into any occupation which he may be considering as his future career. At individual conferences, persons experienced in their respective vocations address the students, explaining to them the prerequisites and nature of the occupation as well as the opportunity for advancement within each field. Year after year, Bennett alumni return to pay their respects to these tireless counselors, who have devoted their energies to the welfare of every student.

This fact is not yet quite real to us who are most greatly concerned, for our hearts and souls are still deeply embedded in this school. Indeed, we may not fully realize the Hnality of this evening until next fall when, for the first time since our early childhood, we will not return to public school. We will be too old, and this is strange because here- tofore we have on so many occasions been too young. Four years ago when we first came to Bennett, we were children. The long corri- dors and strange faces frightened us. Our freshman subjects seemed difficult and our homework long. Now we stand before you, young adults. This has been no change magically wrought by the wave of a wand. The work, efforts, and hopes of many people have made this transformation possible. Tonight, as we leave high school forever, it is only appropriate that we should express our gratitude to those who have so helped us. Our greatest debt is certainly to our parents. They have encouraged and advised us for as long as we can remember. Throughout our years of school they have been at our sides. When we failed, they reassured usg when we were worried, they com- forted usg when we were in trouble, they helped usg and when we did well, they rejoiced with us. Whatever success we have achieved is due largely to their assist- ance. Parents can not be always with us, so a second debt is owed to our teachers. To- night, each of us can name silently in his heart those instructors and counsellors who have most inspired him. The impact of these dedicated lives upon our own cannot be measured, but the ideas and beliefs of those who have taught us are stamped indelibly upon our souls. No school can be truly great unless it has great leadership. During our four years here, we have been privileged to study under the direction of four outstanding men. Our principals, Mr. Farrar and Mr. Miller and our assistant principals, Mr. Walz, Mr. Miller, and Mr. Raiken have always stood ready to give us a helping hand and encouragement when we needed it. To all of these people we give our heartfelt thanks. Tonight is the consummation of the hopes and dreams of those who have been so concerned about us. Our parents and teachers have done their best to equip us with education and good training-the tools for successful living. Their work is com- pleted, and the rest is up to us. Now, at the end of four years of high school, it is time for us to think seriously about our futures. Tonight is the end of nothing but the beginningg indeed, gradua- tion exercises are rightly called Commencement-the beginning. We stand on the very threshold of life, ready to enter our chosen fields of endeavor. It is to our child- hood and to our years of preparation that we say Farewell, Frances C. Fowler 21 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY The blue sky spotted with the whiteness of the bil- Iowy clouds is aflame with the dying rays of the setting sun. The end of the day draws nigh and we, Weary from our journey, can look back upon our travels with fond memories. How we remember the first day-the embarking of our ship and the new found hopes and aspirations of reaching our home port-graduation. After we ascended the gang plank, we were ushered into the huge assembly hall where we were given our first. sailing instructions by Admiral Emmons B. Farrar. We were then assigned our state rooms where we encountered our lst touch of sea-sickness-white cards, yellow cards, orange cards! All of which, as we would soon see, had to be filled out every day of our voyage. As members of Deck D-CFreshmenD, we voted to help the officials navigate a steady course by electing Stuart Bargman our representative to the executive staff of the passenger council. Sylvia Fleck and Pat Krueger ranked highest on the honorary passenger list and Frances Celniker and Bar- bara Tzetzo recorded the events of Deck D in the BEACON Journal. Deck tennis was a favorite sport and Alan Gerstel assisted in capturing the coveted Bapst cup in an unde- feated season. The passengers were taken to the grandassembly hall where we were marvelously entertained. This was the day when the documentary movie- We Go to Bennett was shown and we were all fortunate in being able to attend its Premiere. Jackie Jocko and the King's Four were transported to our line by Bob Wells. Our first opportunity to entertain the passengers and crew was anticipated by all. Diane Gotthelf, Mary Krikorian, and M. C. Martin Packard Camong othersj pleased their critical audience on Deck D. day and San- ford Shire represented our deck in a pantomime in the Variety Show. The experiences of the first day prepared us for deck C-the deck of 'Wise Fools'. Sue Getman, who was elected to guide us as our representative on the Execu- tive Staff, wrote a prize-winning essay for the Science Contest. Those who excelled scholastically joined the newly initiated honor classes where, in the English Depart- ment, we amalgamated the study of Dickens with the study of classic comic books. Janice Chalmer and Sue Getman entered the inci- dents and occurences of Deck C in the BEACON Jour- nal in which appeared the prize-winning essay of Mary Ann Schaefer- Hocus Focusf' The ship's theater welcomed Diane Gotthelf and Linda Sturner into its portals, and a troup of 61 Deck C passengers won acclaim in the Ship's Variety Show. The B. B. S. reported that We had successfully won the Thanksgiving day classic football game and cap- tured the Yale Cup for Basketball. We again claimed the Bapst tennis cup and retired the Cornell Baseball Trophy after winning it for three successive years. Vice Admiral Carl Walz was transferred and pro- moted to Admiralty of the good ship Riverside and Lloyd A. Miller, his appointed successor on the H. S. Bennett, was accepted with much enthusiasm by both the passengers and crew. Night came and another day was born. Then at the half way mark of our journey, we moved bag and baggage to Deck B. Entirely groomed to the Ml -I-:nl Sophomore discussion in World History procedures of ship life, our thoughts turned to higher and larger liners of learning-college. College Day pre- sented to us the opportunity to acquaint ourselves to various liner representatives and the travel agency fthe Guidance Officej, arranged the excursions and sight- seeing expeditions. Paul Cherulnik, Gerald Dankner, and Sylvia Fleck won the opportunity to leave the ship and travel the Waters of continental Europe and Israel as did Dickie Judelsohn, who tried his Spanish in Panama. A new-comer, hailing from Southern shores, Frances Fowler earned the highest scholastic honors of the pas- senger list. She further proved her intellectual achieve- ments when both she and Clara Dusch became semi- finalists for the National Merit Scholarships. Patricia Hoffman was appointed keeper of the Deck B journal and Stuart Bargman was once again elected to the Executive Staff. Speaking of elections, the results of the officers' ballot wereas follows: Captain-Donald Alexander, First mate-Susan Getman, Navigator- Judith Clarke, and Pursers-Frances Celniker and Ste- phen Gosch. Deck B proved to have a 'healthy' atmosphere, and to keep within the spirit of things, we produced sports- men by the dozens. Frank Ralabate, still running, earned an All High position in both track and cross countryg Alan Gerstel, by brilliant performance, became All High in tennis. Deck B Day proved to elicit the talent of our young orators when Cynthia Hall and Richard J udelsohn were proclaimed winners of the annual Mercer Speaking Contest. As the third day came to a close, we marked the re- tirement of Admiral Emmons B. Farrar. His glorious twenty-five year command over the ship was at an end, and his successor was our own Lloyd A. Miller, our present Admiral of the H. S. Bennett. Our journey was almost at an end, and our course had been well plotted. We, the passengers of Deck A, had the wheel-it was our ship now. Joel Greenberg became chief of the passenger council and James Blinkofi' chief of the BEACON journal. Once again we cast our ballots for our commanding officers: CAPTAIN--DONALD ALEXANDER FIRST MATE-JUDITH CLARKE N AVIGATOR--FRANCES CELNIKER PURSERS-SUSAN GETMAN STEPHEN GOSCH STEWARDS--KATHRYN RESTORFF ROBERT YOST KEEPERS OF THE LOG-STUART BARGMAN CARLA STEINBERG STAR GAZER-JOEL GREENBERG VALEDICTORIAN-FRANCES FOWLER SALUTATORIAN-SYLVIA FLECK Waiting, waiting, waiting! The liner lingo turned to College Boards and acceptances to the colleges of our choice. The travel agency was booking passages every- where and could barely keep up with the requests of the passengers. We welcomed from Swedish waters, Elizabeth Gus- tavsson who worked by our sides as if she had begun this voyage with us. In her honor, the H. S. Bennett sponsored a dance and concert, both of which were very successful. The efforts of our sports teams proved abundantly fruitful. The football team easily procurred the Harvard Cup championship and George Zilliox became all high. Not to be outdone, the Cross country team captured the Columbia cup, with Frank Ralabate and Donnell Williams attaining All High positions, and we won the Yale Trophy in basketball. How pleasant the memories of one sweet night in June-the memories of the gala prom for which Deck A had waited so long. It was a scene of dancing feet and laughter arising from amidst the crowd. Those Junior year Held trips! But how quickly the scene changed, and how quickly we found ourselves driven deeply into our books of learning. Our final tests proved us seaworthy, and the period of uncertainty vanished, we knew we had navi- gated a true course. And the rays of the sun are growing dim, the port of our destination is in view. And we know that although this voyage is over, tomorrow will bring a new day and a new voyage. Senior Class Historians , J HALL OF ,,..,s.AJ DONALD ALEXANDER Combine leadership, enthusiasm, a love for athletics, and a knack for work, and you come up with a person who is hard to beat. Such a person is Don Alexander, President of the Senior Class. YVell-known and well-liked throughout the halls of Bennett, Don can usually be seen running to make basketball or baseball practices, sports in which he has achieved major letters. During his four years at Bennett, Don has also taken an active role in the North- Delaware Hi-Y, being elected President in his senior year, and has been active in the Varsity and Key Clubs. His work as chairman of the flag marshalls, chairman of the Foreign Student Dance, and President of both his Junior and Senior class deserves a great deal of honor in the annals of Bennett High. During his career at Bennett, Don has acquired a long list of likes and dislikes. Head- ing the former is his love of wine, women, and song -Bennett's alma mater-wand strong among the latter is l1is animosity toward conceited people. With his career at Bennett behind him, Don now looks forward to majoring in psychology at the University of Buffalo and later studying at a seminary in preparation for becoming a minister. YVe wish hin1 the best of luck, and are certain that if he con- tinues in his later life as he has at Bennett, he will surely be successful in whatever he undertakes. FRANCES CELNIKER Sunshine girl would be an appropriate title for Fran. Her friendly disposition has won her many friends at Bennett. It's no wonder that she was elected Junior Class Girls' Treasurer last year and Senior Class Secretary this year. Her many activities include being secretary of the Junior Council on World Affairs and a member of the Student Council. Through her strong initiative she was appointed Freshman Editor of the BEACON in her first year and is now the Co-editor of the Alumni Column. In athletics Fran has also received great recognition. A superb tennis player, she has captured the winner's titles in Western New York Junior Girls' Singles, New York State Girls' Singles, and Buffalo City Tournaments for four years in a row. Needless to say, she will receive a Gold B this year at Bennett. Fran's many likes include Chinese food, pizza, swimming, good books, Frank Sinatra, dance music, and, of course, tennis. She is annoyed by drippy faucets and cracked Hi-Fi records, and has distaste for raking the lawn and weeding the garden. As for the future, Fran hopes to become an elementary school teacher, but isn't sure where she will continue her education. Because of her determination and radiant per- sonality, she is certain to be successful in the years to come. JAMES BLINKOFF Outstanding scholarship, warm friendliness, and a desire to work are three qualities that distinguish Jim Blinkoff. His list of activities includes not only membership in numerous organizations but also offices in many of them. Jim, a member of the Junior Council on World Affairs, participated in the Model U.N.g he belongs to the Honorary Society of English and Literature and is a member of Bennett's chapter of the National Ho11or Society. Naturally, he will receive a Jewelled Honor Pin at graduation. Treasurer of the Latin Honor Society in his sophomore year and President last year, Jim also was Captain of the Debate Team, President of the Debate Club, Treasurer of the Key Club, and is assistant editor of the Empire Key. However, his greatest accomplishment was undoubtedly assuming the position of Editor-in-Chief of our Bennett BEACON. As a culmination to three years of service to the BEACON, Jim was chosen to head the 1958-1959 Yearbook. Jim especially enjoys parties, American History, a well-run Driver Ed course, and witty satire. He dislikes waking up in the morning, tests given without warning, and bigoted people. Although he is undecided about a career, Jim hopes to major in history or political science at either Princeton or Vvilliams. We wish him the best of luck in future endeavors and know that he'll bring honor to his Alma Mater. 24 X lkxql FAME N-'N-fx., JUDITH CLARKE One of the most active Bennett seniors is Judy Clarke, Vice-President of the Senior Class. Petite and curly headed, she has won a permanent place in the hearts of all the Bennettonians who know her. In addition to her high oHice in the Senior Class, Judy is also the Secretary of the Student Council. Moreover, Judy has served BuHalo's youth by efficiently serving as the Secretary of the Inter-High School Student Council. Judy was the Secretary of the Junior Class last year. This year she has been working hard as the BEACON'S Circulation Editor. Among her other extracurricular activities are membership in the Senior Girls, Hi-Y and the Junior Council on World Affairs. In June Judy will receive a Gold HB. ' One of those people who likes everything, Judy could find no real pet peeves. At school she especially enjoys English and lists it as her favorite subject. The type of music she likes can be described as semi-classical. Being athletically inclined, she gets a great deal of pleasure from horseback riding. Pizza and cheese with crackers are J udy's favorite food. After graduating from Bennett, Judy plans to attend the University of Buffalo, taking a liberal arts course. We all wish Judy the best of luck and know that she will be as successful in later life as she has been here. JOEL GREENBERG Hands calloused from banging the gavel, Joel Greenberg is one of Bennett's most promising graduates. Throughout J oel's four years at Bennett, his leadership and ability have been outstanding. He will long be remembered as the able President of the Student Council, not to mention the Key Club and the Junior Council on World Affairs. He is a pride not only to Bennett, but to the entire community since he has been an important member of the Inter-High School Junior Council. This popular, energetic senior has had to carry a schedule book with him at all times in order to know which meeting he was supposed to be attending. During the school day Joel can be found almost anywhere, from 119, where he holds a position on the BEA- CON Staff, to 5E Student Council meetings. First roll call finds Joel a golden throated member of the Bennett Broadcasting System. In addition, he linds time to give valuable assistance as an office monitor. When asked what he liked, Joel replied Just about everything. His long list of likes is headed by summer vacations, riding in his Palmobile, good cooking, and pretty girls. Like most of us, Joel doesn't care much for heavy homework assignments or pop tests. Joel intends to pursue his college education at the University of Buffalo. Here's wishing him the best of luck and good fortune from all grateful Bennettoniansl FRANCES FOWLER Frances Fowler, one of the outstanding members of the Senior Class, is not a native Bennettonian. She came to us from Milwaukee-Downer Seminary, Milwaukee, Wis- consin, in 1957. During her two and a half years at Bennett, her poise, intelligence, and willingness to work have earned her a prominent place in the Senior Class. In recognition of her high average, Fran has been selected Valedictorian of this year's graduating class and will receive a Silver Honor Pin at Commencement. However, she doesn't devote all of her time to her school work. She is an active member of the Alpha- Omega Hi-Y and the French Club. This popular girl has been elected Treasurer of the French Honorary Society and is the jeweller of the Bennett chapter of the National Honor Society. This year she has further distinguished herself as Co-editor of the Special Features column ofthe BEACON. On her list of favorites Fran includes French, tossed salads, playing the piano and swimming. She also likes the Milwaukee Braves, of course! Her pet peeves are wearing boots in winter, deadlines, and math. With a career of teaching modern foreign languages in mind, Frances hopes to attend the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University, where she plans to major in French. We know that she can't help but be happy and successful throughout her life. 25 ,ui 1' f s. Q 'X RICHARD JUDELSOHN If you are looking fora man of well chosen words and boundless energy, you can't miss with Dickie Judelsohn. He is the Associate Editor of this year's BEACf IN. His skill with words is not limited to the pen, since Dick won the Mercer Club's speaking contest last year. He is also a member of the P. A. Crew. Dickie has been extremely active in service organizations such as the Key Club and the B. L. P. His executive abilities are demonstrated by his presidency of the Hon- orary Society of English and Literature and his leadership in the Junior Council on World Affairs, of which he is Treasurer. He has been on the Student Council for three years and is now Boys'-Representative-at-Large. Despite these activities, Dick has not neglected scholarship, since he expects to receive a Gold Honor Pin, and isxthe Treas- urer of the National Honor Society. He was awarded a Summer Science Fellowship at Roswell Park, and went to Panama as an exchange student the precious year. High among his interests is music. Dick blows a mean saxophone in the Bennett Dance Band. Thumbs up, says he, on modern jazz, pizza, and vacations. He dislikes long homework assignments and oversensitive girls. Dick hopes to attend Cornell University to study pre-med. VVe are sure that much will be heard from him in the future. For Dick Judelsohn, Bennetts motto is very apt. His best is yet to be. SUSAN GETMAN Some may remember Susan Getman as the lover of knee socks and hooks, but to others in the Senior Class at Bennett she is quite a bit more. Sue's friendly warmth, keen intelligence, and dignity have brought her admiration and distinction during her four years at Bennett. She has held offices in various school organizations, as can he seen in her Senior Profile. Her perseverance and interest in world affairs have resulted in Bennett's acquiring a touch of internationalism in the form of our exchange student. By no means confined to school, Sue's activities take her to Roswell Park Memorial Institute where, in her lab work she has learned to tolerate mice. As a member of Bennett's intelligentsia, Susie was the recipient of the Twersky Sci- ence Award in her sophomore year, and expects to receive her Gold Honor Pin upon graduation. Having survived three years of Latin, Sue is grateful to Shakespeare for the pleasure his literature affords. Spiders and split infinitives are Sue's only admitted dislikes. Tops on her list of favor- ites are classical music fespecially Beethoven and Tschaikowskyj, progressive jazz fpar- ticularly the groups of Jonah Jones and Ahmad Jamall, poetry of all kinds and English class. Hoping to enter Vassar or Wheaton, Susan is looking forward to a career in teaching or psychology, fields remarkably suited to her personality. FRANK RALABATE Add versatility, athletic prowess, and friendliness, and you come up with Bennett's Frank Ralabate. During Frank's four years he has done much for the name of Bennett High. As an athlete, he led our cross country team to two successive city champion- ships, making the All-High team on both occasions. Frank has also been a mainstay of the track team, running the mile in his junior year and the half mile as a senior. Frank was a member of the All-High Freshman Relay Team in his first year in Bennett sports competition. Because of his outstanding leadership, Frank was elected president of the Track Club in both his Junior and Senior years. hir. Ralabate's activities have not been limited to the athletic field by any means, since he served a year as Student Council chaplain. He formed and was first president of a Varsity Club for major letter men at Bennett High. Also, Frank was Secretary of the North Delaware Hi-Y during his Senior Year. Frank has a strong liking for pizza, and matzoth with butter. it is known that he absolutely cannot tolerate bologna sandwiches and people who can run faster than he can. Frank would like to attend the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Everyone at Bennett wishes Frank abundant success in all he undertakes. 26 PATRICIA HOFFMAN If a poll were taken to determine the most active Bennett senior, Patty Hoffman would surely ra11k high, for she seems to be everywhere. However, in spite of the busy life she leads, Patty always has time to give everyone the bright smile and cheerful hello which have become her trademarks. Patty has had a profound effect on Bennett during her years here. As Associate Editor of the BEACON, her leadership, intelligence, and general know-how have proved themselves valuable. Because of her outstanding scholastic achievements, she was elected Vice-President of Bennett's new chapter of the National Honor Society and will receive a Jewelled Honor Pin at graduation. Patty's positions of delegate to the Model U.N. and Treasurer of the English Honorary Society have displayed her strong sense of responsibility and leadership. A few of her numerous and varied likes include classical music, especially Beethoven, playing the piano for her own amusement, and vanilla ice-cream. Although Patty has few dislikes, her pet peeves include term papers, washing dishes, and overly-critical co le. P taxon leaving Bennett, Patty will say goodbye to the many teachers and to the expe- riences which have helped to create her outstanding personality. Her cherished memo- ories will be with her as she pursues her education at either VVellesley or Cornell. We feel confident that our Patty will succeed in her every endeavor and we wisl1 her Bon Voyage and Best of Luck. ROBERT YOST Bob Yost is best known around Bennett for his interest in tl1e stage and its various facets. Indeed, to Bob All tl1e world's a stage really holds true. In accordance with his love for the stage, Bob is a member of the Dramatics Club and the stage crew. He is also anticipating a Gold Pin for service on the P.A. crew, of which he is chairman. The possession of the qualities of leadership and scholarship have won Bob a place in the National Honor Society and a Silver Honor Pin upon graduation. Bob has served on the Junior Red Cross Council as Secretary-Treasurer, Vice-Presi- dent, and President in his Sophomore, Junior, a11d Senior years respectively. Further- more, he has been manager of the basketball team for two years and is now the Sports Editor of the BEACON. Bob's sparkling personality, pep, and ambition have given him the privilege of being Boys' Marshall of the Senior Class. To cap his achievements, he participated in Boys' State as city recreational director and was a member of tl1e county delegation to the state. Bob likes Dixieland jazz, dates, and driving a car. He has no particular peeves, merely descending degrees of enjoyment. VVe all know that Bob has a very bright future ahead of l1im. VIRGINIA MARKEL Here! There! Everywhere! That's our Ginny Markel! This pretty senior's amazing vivaciousness, deep sincerity, and profound intelligence are ever apparent to all as she serves Bennett in countless ways. Assemblies and sports events just wouldn't be the same without Ginnyfs expert cheerleading, seasoned with three years of experience, to instill fresh spirit in all present. As Business Editor of tl1is year's BEACON, sl1e has done a difficult job with both ease and confidence. Three years on the honor roll have merited l1er membership in Bennett's newly formed chapter of the National Honor Society. As a further recognition of her scholastic ability, she is expecting to receive a Jewelled Honor Pin this coming June. In spite of her busy schedule of school service and homework, Ginny has found time to make an active member of tl1e French Honor Society, the Junior Red Cross Service Club, and the Junior Council on VVorld Affairs. She has been an office monitor for two years. Chief among Gim1y's likes are people and sports. Strange as it may seem, she has no special dislikes. 1 The University of Wisconsin heads her list of possible colleges for next year. Ginny is planning to study occupational therapy, no matter which college she decides on. Yvherever you go, whatever you do, Ginny, Bennett wishes you the best of everything. 27 SALUTATORY Today we mark the beginning of the end. The end of which I speak is the conclu- sion of our days at Bennett High School. Up to now, we have been high school stu- dents striving toward graduation. At last our goal is in sight, soon we shall graduate. Much time and effort have been given to our preparation for living. It remains for us as alumni to persevere in the high ideals that Bennett has inculcated. Will the seniors of the class of 1959 make a worthy place for themselves in the world of the future? If we put to good use the education that has been made available to us, the an- swer to this important question is an emphatic Yes, Besides receiving a firm foundation in academic subjects, we have tried to find the keys to help us become upright citizens and honorable adults. Through our personal integrity, cooperation, sense of responsibility, and loyalty to God and America, the road should become straight and the destination bright. Allow me to tell you a bit about these halls so familiar to us. We came to Bennett four years ago as freshmen, apprehensive as we contemplated the journey ahead. However, a few short weeks made us native Bennettonians. Since then, We have come to know every nook and cranny of the school. We can glibly tell the location of the office, cafeteria, auditorium, or any other place one may wish to find. Yet our knowledge of Bennett includes more than its physical layout. We seniors have grown to respect our faculty, to value their decisions, and to cherish our school traditions, for Bennett's history is our own. Our paths are inextricably interwoven with those of Bennett. During the weeks which lie ahead, we shall come still closerto the heart of our school. We shall feel its very pulse beating in our ears. On the threshold of the un- known, we wish to thank our principal, Mr. Lloyd Miller, and our assistant princi- pal, Mr. Morris Raiken, for the confidence they have placed in us. We are grateful to our guidance counselors and our teachers for the preparation we have received to meet the challenge of life. We are also especially indebted to our parents for their encouragement and support. We wish to repay their love by striving to be living exemplars of the highest standards. As Mr. Miller's first graduating class at Bennett, we hope to fulfill his expecta- tions as well as our aspirations for the future. Although we are leaving Bennett shortly, on the character of each one of us our teachers have left a positive impres- sion that will affect our lives as adults. Looking ahead, we realize these weeks are more than the culmination of our high school life. More important, they conclude the beginning of our lives. Soon, we shall no longer be teenagers in the last stages of our childhood. Instead, before the rest of the world we shall stand as young adults on the brink of glorious adventure. Where the future leads we do not know. For some, the next step may be college, business, or the service of our country. We pray that when we step into the stream of life, steadfast in our ideals, we shall never lose the dreams and hopes of youth, but that, holding to right convictions, we shall become a credit to our parents, teachers, com- munity, and country.

Senior year, you will suits and wave to the There arrived at Bennett in '56 A ship With, a mighty throng, Its cargo consisted of freshmen, Seven hundred pirates strong. The next year found us as sophomores Second year pirates, that is, With 10th Year Math and Biology Our minds were all in a Iizz. Sam Johnson was our captain, He led a barbary crew, Hanley, Nancy, and Debby Got us out of many a stew. This year we entered as Juniors, We were a hearty clan, All were ready to depart Thus . . . our Junior voyage began. Alone, alone, alone, on a wide, wide sea Spring will be a little late this year. 86 Out to lunch! As we climbed on board our ship the first thing that met our eyes was: THE OBJECTIVES OF THE CREW 1. To burn all the health books 2. To get Harvey Tannenbaum, Rozzy Goldman, Ron- ald Krause, Peter Troobolf, and Cary Presant on the Honor Roll 3. To give Sandra N ordofl' a free trapeze lesson 4-. To add a year to Phyllis Rickler's age so she will be eligible for a driver's permit 5. To tear down the police station and build a student parking lot 6. To get Sue LaMoth another pair of glasses so she will be able to read more books 7. To give Ronnie Zackem a muscle building course to enable him to lift his baritone sax 8. To get the Chords Quartet a recording contract Shhhh ---- Q uiet!! have you heard the latest SCUT- TLE-BUTT? Rumors are going around that ----------- Miss Beach is now the proud possessor of a red string fac- tory. CWhat could she possibly want with red string?J Mr. Snow is buying his own mimeograph machine so that it will be easier for him to give make-up tests. Miss Kelly left a problem on the board for one com- plete period. Miss Rooney is now the advisor for the Kensington Compass. In addition to tearing a page out of her English note- book, Miss McNamera wrote a closed e with a ball point pen. Miss Gerace is now the proud teacher of honors classes. At least she has an answer to all those questions! Our pirates have returned to their fearless ways. Hard work and gaiety determine their lives. However, we still have unsolved problems.

Our goal next year You can succeed if you SIT BACK . . . SMILE . . . and TRYZ' By this time, we had become accustomed to the reckless life of a Junior Pirate. Through an interview we found the differences between a Freshman and a Junior to be quite astounding: QUESTION What is your major aim in high school? What kind of assemblies do you like? What do you think the purpose of study halls is? What is your opinion of cutting class? When is your homework done? Do you bring your lunch to school? Why do you join clubs? Do you enjoy Phys. Ed.? Quiet! Genius at work. 5 if- ii. i FRESHMAN To make the honor roll Educational movies and speakers To complete as much homework as possible Is it done? Right after school or after dinner No, I always buy the Bennett Spe- cial. They're stimulating and supple- ment my classes.

Our teachers the best in this generation, Are sincere in their efforts to impart information. Our intent was to study comprehensively- Math, Science, and English intensively.

As the motors churn us onward Through our Sophomore days, We pledge our allegiance to thy Proud and honored ways. Sprechen Sie Deutsch? ' ' Much ado about nothing! As GABRIEL blew her horn, we knew that our ex- citing voyage aboard the Sophomore Sub had begun. It seemed as if summer was over, but when we received our schedules from the COHN trol room, we knew that SOMINIER had just started. These were some of the places where we chose to dock: KELLY's Cove-next to the telephone booths SCOBIE Desert-fourth floor English class BAECHER's Bay-the ole swimmin' hole PODlNIELE's Plain-Plane Geometry EBBERTS' Isle-the dream of every girl FEDERMAN's Fortress-the school store SEEGER's Sound-the voices of the chorus SHERlNIAN's Swamp-too much Spanish homework As we cruised from port to port, we gained a vast knowledge of nautical terms. Some of these words were: 1. windward-girls, side of the school 2. dead reckoning-figuring out the LONGEST way to the office 3. target-the doors at dismissal 4. steering a straight course-a conference with Nfrs. ltlattera or Mr. Guadagno 5. Neptune's Kingdom-Mr. Miller's office 6. two day leave-the weekend 7. pressure-five tests tomorrow 8. storage batteries-honor pupils 9. broadening our horizons-sitting in the office 10. walking the plank-carrying soup in the cafeteria 11. periscope-Mr. Raiken's roving eye 12. cargoes-tons of books to carry from class to class 13. rescue-2:45 bell! ! Y 14-. anchors aweigh-to our Junior year THE SEVEN C's OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS C-courtesy-letting someone else give his answer ahead of you. C-calamity-that third blueslip. C-continuity-a perfect recordg late every day for a week! C-capacity-ability to memorize every word of all the popular songs, inability to learn even one axiom. C-capitalist-one who sells his 50c football ticket for a dollar. C-cheating-paying 10c bus fare after 4 o'clock. C-congratulations!-you passed the exams with a 65 average. It ain't necessarily so! Study much? While on its sea-faring voyage, our Sophomore Sub journeyed with many other ships. All were headed for the same port-JUNIOR YEAR. First we met the popular S. S. CourtSHIP. Some of the couples enjoying themselves aboard were Nancy Johnston and James Nitterauer, Marcia Weymouth and Gary Hughes, and Elisabeth Chanteau and Dick Gehring. Meanwhile Priscilla Trell and Gail Kashin found their beaux swim- ming with the Junior Class. The Seaworthy ScholarSHIP ' also had an honor- able crew. High on the mast we found Gerry Cohn, Car- ole Berkson, Jim Hiestand, Elsie Desenroth, Sam Alessi, and Cynthia Rodriguez. Great were our expectations for pleasure whenever the ShowmanSHIP and SteamSHIP hove into sight. On the latter were Sue Plumb, Wendy Pollack, Jane Leman, and Pat Kehr who used their pep and energy to cheer our sub to victory. Quite a few Sophomores excelled as the S. S. Sports- manSHIP hove into sight. Some of them were Arnie Weintraub, Art Paull, Toby Parker, Sam Miloro, and Ed Finnerty. Marg Naish, Irene Matthews, and Carol Duquin were a few of the best girls gymnasts. Last, but by no means least, was the LeaderSHIP. Paul Friedman, Quinnette Westbrook, Bobby Finkle- stein, Gail Ludwig, Dale Chodorow, and Elaine Tober all worked hard to make the Sophomore class one of the best. Each ship in this outstanding Sophomore fleet sailed on the seven seas with colors flying toward Jun- iorSHIP! ! of homework papers in. their math classes. Even when the work is GITIN RUFF, each DUS his best to pass. We walk into our classrooms with thoughts like this: I think that I shall never see A passing mark in geometry. Memorizing theorems--that's a test. I fail even when doing my best. Tenth year math isn't bad I suppose But in this class I cannot doze. Tests are made for fools like mw Do you think I'll pass geometry? Time will pass . . . will he?,' After racking our brains with math problems, we had little energy left for tackling poetry in English class. Here is a luckless Bennett Sophomore's version of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner: It is a watchful principal And he stoppeth one of three. By thy graying hair and glittering eye, Now, wherefore stopp'st thou me? The study hall doors are opened wide, T'is there that you should be. The class is met, the teacher's set, Why there are not ye? Don't try to skip again, young man, A chance you haven't got. Believe me, sir, t'is there I'll go, A blueslip I want not! As our Sophomore Sub slowly sails over the horizon and out of sight, a lusty chorus can be heard. The four hundred and fifty Bennett Sophomores are singing their anthem: A Short the days we spent a-sailing, nf Sweet the memory, Firm the friendships we have formed here, f g 1fVsl',l. 5iiN Lasting they will be.

FRESHME One day while I was swimming at Bristol Beach, the strong current carried me far from shore. No sooner did I realize my dilemma, than I was engulfed by a torrent of water, spouting upwards. The source of this great geyser was an enormous white whale. I suddenly found myself being swept down into the stomach of my captor. A small table, anchored near the wall, was set, and on the napkins were embroidered the letters, HM. D. I realized that I was in the belly of the one and only Moby Dick. Knowing that I would be inside Moby,' for quite some time, I decided to write some memoirs of my Freshman year at Bennett. North is North, and South is South, I should have known before, That things are done quite queerly On Bennett's weird fourth floor. Being assigned to eat my lunch In the cafeteria-North, I proceeded to climb the stairs Till I got to the floor called fourth. I was hungry as a lion, And watering was my mouth, When I finally reached the lunchroom, I was told it was the South! He'll make it by his senior year! Dig that crazy beat, man! Then, there are always the teachers who give the Freshman an idea of what's to come for the next four years. In Algebra, you sit down, notice a number of exam- ples on the board and, following the directions Written above them, start to work. No sooner than you can say, I'm not finished yet! , you hear a command: Change papers! Your 35 finished examples out of the re- quired 10 are marked wrong, except you get half credit, CYou had the right ideal. The worst part comes when the marks for this impossible test are read aloud. Mirac- ulously, everybody seems to have great marks, Cexcept youl. I know that I shall never hear, A song as lovely to my ear, as .............. Witch DOCTOR-Is in charge of the clinic, Almost in Your Arms-The aisles between the desks are so narrow. Need you-Especially during my regents!

'Y ' Q 3' XM Y Z z's HIGHLIGHTS 1958-1959 Last September, as we entered Bennett's doors, no one suspected that one of the best years in Bennett's history had just begun. The school was under new command with Lloyd A. Miller as our principal and Morris Rakin, a newcomer to Bennett, as the assistant principal. Also gracing our halls was Elizabeth Gustavvson, our pretty Swedish exchange student. It soon became apparent that another change was going to take place in Bennett. Early in the fall a crew of electricians arrived to give Ben- nett a much needed face-lifting. When the year ended, we had a truly beautiful school. The year certainly promised to be a revolutionary one, and the first phase of this promise was fulfilled when we won the Bennett-Ken Game-for the first time in seven years! The game was preceded by a colossal parade of more than fifty cars which circled Kensington High School with blowing horns and flying streamers. After this victory we went on to defeat Seneca and become the champions of our league. A few weeks later Bennett fans demonstrated their loyalty by venturing out on a freezing Thanksgiving Day to watch their team crush Riverside and win the Harvard Cup. Our cross country team's victory further thrilled us, and as the fall season closed we found ourselves the unchallenged champions of the city. Thanksgiving week was also brightened by another excellent Variety Show, Tell It to the Marines. Before we knew it, the Christmas season was upon us with a well-deserved rest from all our labors. Vacation over, we once more settled down to the old routine. The winter sports season was just beginning, and Bennett's faithful cheered their way through basketball games and sweltered through swimming meets. As usual, both teams did us proud. News that twenty-eight of our seniors had won Regents Scholarships further added to our ego. As the year turned to the spring, our hearts grew lighter with the prospect of My Sister Eileen, the delightful play presented by forty talented Bennettonians, and Easter Vacation. Everyone welcomed a ten day respite from the toils of school and returned ready and willing CPD to work. Return we did, however, and soon lazy vacation days were forgotten as the end of the year activities began. We spent many happy hours watching our baseball, track, and tennis teams perform on warm spring afternoons. Toward the end of April, the Juniors presented an outstanding assembly on the day devoted to their class, and the underclassmen hoped they would do half as well when their turns came. Class Day already! It suddenly dawned on the school that June and exams were steadily drawing nearer. As the weeks before the fatal day shortened, every student could be found with his nose stuck in a book. However, despite hot weather and trembling hearts, most of us managed to do fairly well on our final examinations. The last day of' school seemed to come almost too quickly, and we left Bennett to spend two months playing and workin g at summer jobs. Another happy and success- ful year of high school was behind us. 1 .. 'V V., M K w.. S I C 7f! A clash of symbols and a roll of drums heralded the opening night, as our drill sergeant stepped from be- tween the curtains to introduce this year,s production of Tell It to the hlarinesfl This year's variety show, a spectacular success, as it. has been every year, was a pageant of vivid color and a display of great ability. The students were surprised to see many of their friends per- form with talent that would easily compare to that of professional entertainers. Bennettonians proved their loyalty to their school by buying out every seat on the second night, and occupying even standing room. In- deed, they were not disappointed by this magnificent production! 114 ,Ml VARIETY SHOW JJJU fl ff may 1 Q 5 MY SISTER EILEEN Heaven Will Protect the Working Girl -and in this case, there's two of them-seems to be a tough job even for the Seraphim and Cherubim. In this year's dramatic presentation by the Bennett Players of My Sister' Ei- leen, the audience all agreed to this fact. This year, as last, The Bennett Community Associa- tion joined forces with the Bennett Dramatics Depart- ment in sponsoring the play. This was one of the several fund-raising activities of the Community Association by which our school has been so much benefited. This rollicking comedy by Chodorov and Fields was most effectively directed by Mr. Daniel M. Kublitz, our dramatics director. The lines were sparkling as was the cast of over forty actors and actresses. Barbara Moss was a most delightful Eileen and Patricia Roberts rendered a brilliant characterization of Ruth. Chris Rores, Greek accent et al, was truly Bennett's ambas- sador of good will as Mr. Appopolous. James Beaver was a most believable Wreck despite his scanty attire. In-all, My Sister Eileen, despite depleted lines, was both an artistic as well as a financial success. The stage crew, handled well by stage manager Dave Canteen, and the prompting and countless supernumerary roles, plus the costume, make-up, and business staffs, devoted untold hours to make the show the ultimate success that it was. Now we know why Bennett High School was elected to membership in the Thespian National Honor Society, for it is through such productions as these that Bennett dramatic enthusiasts can truly say, The Play's the Thing. Note: Changes in cast and scenery were made after Beacon deadline. 116 A wffffffffffm R ASSEMBLIES Once a week the students of Bennett High School eagerly await the first bell, for they know that this is the summons to COIIIC to another bigger, better assembly. Yve all file in to the stirring sounds of the Bennett hlarch- ing Band and stand as the impressive opening ceremo- nies are performed. The usually interesting program is complemented by anxious glancing at watches and clocks, and by mental calculations of the time to be subtracted from the day's classes. This year, as always, Bennett was privileged to enjoy many fine assemblies. The first one of significance was The Beacon Gamen which was widely acclaimed by both students and teachers. Many informative trave- logues were presented. Our annual Christmas Assembly was produced, complete with choir and Santa Heis Claus. Mr. Farrar was honored for his long years of service by a This is Your Life production. Our various school organizations tried their hand at assembly organization and creation. The Junior Council on Yvorld AH'airs brought. us a student who had spent the summer in Finland. The Student Council, the Key Club, and the National Honor Society presented humor- ous and entertaining programs. Occupying a prominent part in every assembly were the pep rallies which reached frenzied pitches as each sports season drew to a climax. Our programs were spiced with a liberal sprinkling of outside talent, brought to Bennett,s stage by Bob VVells and the Student Council. This year, Blilt Buckner, jazz organist, the Milwaukee Downer College Glee Club, and the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra performed in our auditorium for our pleasure. Although many people claim that assemblies are a waste of precious school time, we here at Bennett feel that they are invaluable, both as a means of entertain- ment and of education. School life at Bennett wouldnlt be the same without them! ,L 3 ' s Q 4 119 BACKSTAGE Ever wonder who turns the lights down too far during the opening prayer at assemblies? Ever hear a loud crash followed by . . . Steve, you great, big ------ ! ? Ever strain your ears to hear a guest speaker, and won- der who had control over the matter? Come backstage with us and meet this well-organized team of workers. Come and see for yourself the co- operation, and the atmosphere of harmony prevailing among-YOUR STAGE CREW in action. Upon entering the stage door, you immediately notice a large array of signs and posters. Much of this collection was made legally. The greater part of it, however, is- shall we say-illegitimate. The outstanding conversation pieces are exemplified by: Santa Is Out Feeding His Reindeer ----- will be back soon. Our stage crew is headed by stage manager Dave Canteen and faculty sponsor Mr. Kublitz. Light men are Greg Wooster, Hermy Platt, and Stu Sandow. Sound boys include Pat Sinclair, Dan Fleysher, and Albert Wertheimer. The flies are managed by Jim Beaver and Stave Spatz. Toby Parker is our assistant, associate, alternate technician. With this competent stage crew, Cgood marks too! -PD, we wonder how the annual programs are produced and put on. Let us observe one of the early rehearsals for this year's Bennett Variety Show.

Silence. Mr. K.: Where's the mu . . .? The music booms out through the auditorium at gigantic volume, completely drowning out Mr. Kublitz's words. The girls on stage begin to dance. Mr. K.: Cshouting to be heardj Not so loud! Dave: Hey Pat, not so loud! Pat: What? Dave: Not so loud! Pat: 0h ,... O.K. The music volume becomes more tolerable. The girls con- ' tinue dancing. Mr. Kublitz watches the girls on stage, criticizing and suggesting. Finally he says: Mr. K: Cut the record! The music continues. Mr. K.: Cut the record! Dave: Huh? . . . er, I mean, pardon me, Mr. Kublitz? Mr. K.: Stop the music! Greg: You mean the T.V. quiz show? When is it on? Dave: You'll miss it this time Pat, cut the record. So on through the weeks of rehearsal, the stage crew gains a little more proficiency in its operation. Finally the big night is here. The stage crew stands poised for action. Sandow, is trembling so much the light beam flutters frantically back and forth across the stage. Wooster searches frantically for a switch. Sinclair searches frantically for a record. Canteen searches fran- tically for his fingernails, Cchewed down to the fingerj The rest of the stage crew is busy admiring the girls. A drum roll . . . the spotlight . . . the announcer steps out from behind the curtain. After a brief introduction, he says, The Marines have landed, and the situation is well in hand. Miraculously, the records, lighting, and flies are co- ordinated. There is not a pause, not a flaw, during the whole show. It is not the marines . . . it is truly the stage crew who have the situation well in hand. fi .Q 5 . ..f.,. AA THROUGH THE PORTHOLE HHHlH - kk ff f.:ff s,1, H H .5 I NMMMM Benin-tt,'s walls of ivy.

BENNETT-KEN DAY Sound the horns for Bennett's vlctory Let's go all the way R. N . A dash of Bennett spirit LITERARY CONTEST The 3rd Annual Literary Contest, sponsored by the Bennett BEACON, has proved to be as successful as its forerunners. As usual the material submitted by the students was outstanding in its quality. SHORT STORY Because of the many excellent entries received, the judging of the short stories was most difficult. First place in this division Went to David Manch. David has chosen the period of the French Revolution for his set- ting and is to be complimented for his superb style and plot development. Second place in the short story con- test was won by Carol Chasen for her beautiful Indian Legend. MARIE WEPT Jacques and Marie Deveraux were happy citizens. They lived alone in their small Paris home. They were happy peasants, but Paris was not a happy town in 1790. The city was in turmoil. Thousands had been killed for conspiring against the people's government. In gay France one couldn't tell who his friends were, and one could only guess at his enemies. Jacques and Marie were ignorant of most of the political strife. There was no intrigue or revolution in their lives. The couple hated the unjust aristocrats as much as any other French peasant. Jacques, in the field of carpentry was not to be ex- celled, and his fine work bore him fruit. Jacques and Marie were by no means wealthy people, but they lived well and always seemed to have enough. They had no great interest in revolution. They were happy and con- tent, always giving whatever they could to the poorer ones of the community. It was the last week in August when friend Pierre from Amiens came to visit the Devereux family. Pierre was a friend from happier days when everyone was free to do what he pleased and go where he pleased. Rarely had a summer passed when Jacques and Marie did not make the trip to Pierre's vineyards. The trip was impos- sible this year, but since Pierre had wanted to visit Paris anyway all were still happy. As it was, all one could do safely on a Paris evening was stay home. Venturing out on the streets was a dangerous undertaking. Murders in Paris alleys were common in these days of despair. With no alternative, the couple entertained Pierre in their small house where good friends had always felt welcome. After a week's time, Pierre returned to Amiens for the ensuing harvest. It was not long after, that the fatal incident took place. Jacques and Marie were sitting at home, Marie doing the darning and Jacques just relaxing after a long day's work. Suddenly the door flew open and there stood three ofhcers of the new French army. Jacques Dever- aux? the man inquired. Jacques nodded. You are under arrest for murder. It has been established that you, on the night of August 26, 1790, killed in cold blood Charles DuSoe, omcer of the people's government. Deveraux, come alongf' Marie was petrified. She watched her loving husband being taken from her. Perhaps he would never return. Marie saw, however, no fear upon her husband's face. How could Jacques be so calm? As the small party ad- vanced toward the door, Jacques whispered, Have faith, Marie. I shall return as soon as the mistake is found. With these words, Jacques was taken away. Things had been so peaceful minutes ago and now there was nothing. Marie wept. Marie spent a cold, lonely Week alone, for the first time in almost thirty years. Marie had no one in whom she could confide. She was alone and this was hardest to bear. The only news of Jacques she received was his trial date. Marie was to be a witness in Jacques' defense -the only witness Jacques would have. It seemed im- possible to produce Pierre on so' short a notice. Perhaps the jury would listen to Pierre. He had been at their home on the night of the murder. The trial was held out of doors, near the public square. There were other trials that day, so Jacques was allowed only a few hours. Jacques testified that he, on the fatal night, was home with his friend from Amiens. Marie. testified the same. Then, the state brought forth three'witnesses who claimed that they had seen Jacques commit the murder. It was an open and shut case. Jacques was sentenced to the guillotine in a week's time. Marie wept. Before Jacques was taken away, Marie was allowed one last talk with him. Jacques was stunned but still hopeful. He couldn't believe his plight. Marie and Jacques agreed that only one hope remained-to pro- duce Pierre in a week's time. This was the only chance, this must be done. Marie set to work that very day. After a long search, she found a man willing to take a message to Amiens for a price Marie could afford. The man was briefed, given the message, and was away by nightfall. The man had six days to get to Amiens, Gnd Pierre, and return to Paris. Chances were slim, but the venture was certainly worth a try. Marie spent the next day in prayer. She stayed at the church all day. Jacques also spent the day in prayer. His prayers were not for himself, but for his wife. He knew his wife was not a strong woman. He wondered how she would survive if his life were taken. Their savings were hardly enough for Marie to live on the rest of her life. Jacques knew his wife could not take in wash or peddle wares on the city streets. For this reason, Jacques prayed for his deliverance. Marie also knew her fate if Jacques was not released. She just wouldn't be able to go on. The second day came and was spent much the same as the first. Marie did not eat or talk. She prayed the entire day and went home that night only to sit by her window and pray. Jacques did not sleep that second night either. His mind was full of worries. He hoped Marie had sent someone to fetch Pierre. He wondered whether Pierre's testimony would be enough to release him. These were not rational people that Jacques had to deal with, but a mob filled with contempt, moving quickly without thought. The third day Marie walked. She walked to the scenes of her childhood and recalled her courtship. She remem- bered the day she met Jacques when she visited the carpenter with her father. Jacques was an apprentice, a mere sixteen years of age. She recalled how she had al- ways found excuses to visit the carpenter's shop. Then she recalled her marriage. And now she thought of all her years of happiness and how they had been inter- rupted so unjustly. The next two days passed slowly and Marie began to await Pierre's arrival. She sat by her window and waited. Thousands of times she thought she heard the sound of hoof beats on the pavement-of horses traveling at great speeds. This always turned out to be the soldiers. Pierre had not been heard from and only two days re- mained. Jacques spent these two days in chains. He was tortured for a confession, but he did not confess to the crime he had never committed. Jacques was strong, and his courage kept him alive-that and his belief in deliv- erance. Jacques felt no physical pain, only pain in his heart. His Wife was so dear to him. Marie's fright was unbearable on the sixth day. Pierre's arrival was doubtful now. What had happened? Perhaps the messenger had not gone at all. Marie was in deep despair, without hope. She would lose her hus- band in only a few hours. Dawn came on the seventh day and still there was no sign of Pierre. The execution was to be at noon in the public square. Jacques knew he has to face death all too soon. He too had lost all hope of being saved. Now only one hour remained. It was time for Marie to leave for the square. Marie bolstered the courage she had left and began to walk slowly toward the large assembly. She arrived at the square with less than a half hour to go. There was a fairly large crowd of shout- ing citizens. In these days of terror it was regular sport to watch an execution. The hungry throng milled, wait- ing for the fatal moment. At five to the hour Jacques was brought forth. He was blindfolded and tiedg all was ready. The execution was only a few minutes away. Marie, a voice cried. Marie She looked around and saw Pierre Hghting his way through the crowd. Jacques was waiting for the blade. Marie made a desperate dash, screaming as she ran, Stop! Stop! It is the witness to defend my hus- band. Marie reached up, grabbing the elevated block. She climbed on hastily and ran toward the executioner, tripping over a small insignificant cord. The blade crashed. Jacques was dead. Marie wept. ESSAY Bela Petho's entry proved superior in the essay divi- sion. His remarkable fluency in English is particularly noteworthy since Bela has been in America only a short time, having fled from his homeland during the recent Hungarian Revolution. Bela's commentary centers around his last memories of his revolt-stricken land. Also commendable was the witty essay, On Shake- speare, by Janice Chalmer. MEMORIES OF GREAT DAYS I am a town boy. My city is Budapest. I like to take long, long walks and watch everything. Tired men rush- ing home after work, newspaper boys on the corners, street cars clattering in the street, lovers hand in hand watching the grey river, are all parts of my beautiful city. She is an old town. Her history started more than a thousand years ago. Century-old buildings, monuments and statues are the signs, witnesses of a disappeared world. She is young too. Modern, slim bridges arch across the river, steamboats sail along the shores, under the city the Metro rumbles. Yes, I love my city, I love my wonderful country, but I can never forget that we are just slaves under the Russians. October twenty-third was a regular day in our lives, but there was something in the air when I Went to meet my friends at the front of our school. The Student Asso- ciation wanted to take a silent walk across the city in order to show our sympathy to Poland, where they had started a new way in Communism. They wanted to break away from Russia. We had no right to make this demonstration, but we had to do it, to show our feelings about the Soviet Union. Two thousand of us walked on the streets, the crowd grew larger and larger. Cries like: Hungary is a coun- try for Hungariansf' Russians go home and We want back our national flag became audible, and the people repeated them. Workers left their factories and plants to come with us. Everything went on very fast. I saw when the shame of our city, the giant statue of Stalin tumbled down, and the red stars-the symbols of Communism-learned how to fly from the tops of the buildings. Then we went to the Parliament, and the whole square was filled with people. We demanded a new government led by Imre Nagy. The nation woke up, demanded its rights, and tried to shake off the Russian bosses. Other groups went to the Radio building and wanted to talk with the leaders about a special program, when the guard of the building, the secret policeman, started to shoot into the crowd. The Communists had estab- lished the Secret Police from prisoners and bandits, because honest men did not want to work for them. These miserable people kept the whole nation under a terrible terror, and now they were afraid of the changes. Everybody's heart was full of anger and despair. An attack started against these beasts with the people shouting our famous saying: Now or never, and with- in a few hours the building was occupied by the freedom fighters. Next day we had a meeting in the school, where we planned to do something for the success of the revolu- tion. Our home room teacher was waiting for us and said that he had discovered an old print machine in the cellar of the school. He was an excellent man, always helping us in every trouble. He looked like a hero from one of Dickens' novels, with his old shabby umbrella, but his heart was gold. He helped us to make leaflets, which were very valuable at that time. But suddenly came one of the most tragic days in our history: November 4. Russian troops and thousands of tanks attacked Budapest, and after a few days, they took over the city. We knew that because of the leaflets only one thing waswaiting for us: the death, so we kept our last meet- ing in the school, and from there, we planned to start our long way, to cross the border. We had to flee. It was a misty, rainy morning, it seemed to me that even nature was crying. We were just standing, and looking at our teacher, who almost cried. The moment to start came and we said: So long. But he corrected us and said: No boys. This is not a 'so long,' this is a 'Goodbye'. And we all knew that he was right. The streets were quiet and empty. Our steps were very noisy between the destroyed houses, but we just went on. When I looked back before the turn, only one man was standing on the corner, my good old teacher with his shabby umbrella. POETRY The bards of Bennett again proved so exceptional that we found it necessary to print more than one poem. Although all different in thought and style, the poems of Carl Roth, a senior, and Marguerite Ross and Peter Trooboff, two juniors, were equal in merit. EDUCATION Before us stands a man of fate, Oh, what will he discuss? Freedom, Brotherhood, Love, or Hate Will it affect each one of us? Listen! he begins to speak, He tells of all our woes, He says, In Science we've been beat, Lack of progress is the seed he sows. I! Yet what about dear life itself, The past, our culture, our speech? Let's not put them on the shelf, These, too, we all should teach. Down! to all those men of doom, Why don't they look and see? Our country is but one classroom, Of course-Democracy. Peter T roobof THE PROBLEM Ho Ho huddled masses, I ask you to solve my problem: You accuse me of being a cynic. I say that your condemnation of my ideas is the cause. You say you cannot see me in the multitudes. I am an individual! Open your eyes, don't peer through gauze! You accuse me of being too young to choose. I know your argument to be riduculous, full of flaws. You ask what makes me special. What can I say? Will you be satisfied? I consider my physical being, my intelligence, My hopes and ambitions. I have desires to fulfill, And goals to achieve. I feel emotion. I am alive. I say nothing. What can I say? Carl R. Roth THREE CHARACTERISTICS You tell me to put my thoughts into words, And I say A dream in a syllable? Would a feathered thing without wings be a bird, Or a burst balloon once more fillable? But Down through a hole The size of a crumb Into the place Where ideas come from. In the entrance dark all thoughts are met By an inspector who says Are you true? Then we'll let You come into our halls and before the judge set All your evidence down on Is Water Wet. This is DECISION. Then turn to your right and slowly drift ,Till you come to one part, a most wonderful gift Of motion saying Come on leg, push and lift. You, lazy fingers, must strain, struggle, sift! This is ACTION. At the end is a chamber of towering height, Where live all motives as justice and right, And thousands of lawyers exceedingly bright Who judge the lion, but change not his might. This is JUSTIFICATION. Now tell me, friend who has been through my mind, Just exactly what did you find? Carl R. Roth SNOW An unchained melody, that entertains its master, Interpreted only be earth and sea. Snow is a song played faster and faster, Then tapers off again silently. Marguerite Ross 4 i hwy Cfivifies KEY CLVB The boys of the Kcy Club have again this year served their school well. Instituting the successful Parking Patrol to alleviate the difficult student parking situa- tion, the club has also carried on with former projects, such as caring for the rose bushes on campus, keeping the front sign up to date and selling popcorn and soft drinks at basketball games. Having undertaken the responsibility of collecting clothing for underprivileged families, the Key Clubbers amassed many cartons on Bundle Day. For their excellent publication of the or- ganization's newspaper, the Empire Key, the boys won a bronze statue for second prize in a national contest. Believing that all work makes Jack a dull boy, the Key Clubbers also sponsored for members and their dates a toboggan party, which provided a most enjoyable even- ing. With the continued support of this helpful club our school can continue to carry on a successful extra-cur- ricular program. LATIN HONOR SOCIETY To acquaint Latin students with Roman culture and history is the purpose of this outstanding honor club. Through games, skits, and speakers, members learn more about their Roman heritage, and enjoy partici- pating with fellow classmates in these interesting and informative activities. Highlight of the year's pro- grams is the closing meeting at the l'resident's home, where the traditional Latin food, i.e. pizza, is served. IIONORARY SOCIETY OF ENGLISH AND LITERATVRE Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who have main- tained an average of 95'Z, comprise the Honorary So- ciety of lfriglfsrlz and Literature. As a group, it has en- joyed competing in contests and partaking in crossword puzzles and quizzes relating to its field of interest. Book reviews by members serve as excellent preparation for state Scholarship and College Board Examinations. HO OR SOCIETIES FRENCH HONORARY SOCIETY Singular in the respect of being the only Buffalo chap- ter of the National French Ilonorary Society, Bennettis club stimulates interest in French culture and civiliza- tion. Besides the publication of a French newspaper, its activities consist of discussions, slides, and correspond- ence with over-seas pen pals. Membership in such an organization is a fine reward for the diligent students of French. JUNIOR COUNCIL ON NYORLD AFFAIRS The main purpose of the Junior Council on World Affairs is to promote a better understanding of other nations for the youth of today, so they may become better citizens of tomorrow. Each year a group from the Council represents a country at the Model United Na- tions Assembly: our country this spring was Saudi Arabia. Here, students gain first-hand, accurate knowl- edge of the functioning and importance of the Ifnited Nations. Speakers and discussions have added spice to the Well organized and well attended meetings. I s 4 I.l LX 6' 6 lil!-l Wh will ,' ml. Xxy 3-Cnooonuw Ron' I: S. Johnson, F. Rnlalmute, S.

NTATIO AL HO OR SCCIETY A much-needed innovation in the Bennett extra- curricular structure is our membership in the National Honor Society, an organization for specially-selected students, administered by the National Association of Secondary School Principals. Eligibility for member- ship is based upon academic achievement and demon- strated leadership of high school students in the junior and senior years. Bennett's Honor Society began with a nucleus of twenty-eight outstanding seniors, chosen by the faculty for excellence in tl1e above mentioned fields. Bi-weekly meetings feature men and women of Buffalo who are prominent in their fields of endeavor, be they musicians, research scientists, psychologists, or historians. Educa- tional movies, of interest to all, and a field trip to the Albright Art Gallery are examples of other pro- grams: the Art Gallery tour certainly added to the members, appreciation of art. hleetings believed to be of general interest are opened to the school, and to date many students who are not members of the Society have availed themselves of this opportunity to participate in such educational and enlightening programs. Not all eggheads, the Honor Society members en- joyed presenting an entertaining assembly before the student body on the day of their impressive formal in- duction, at which Dr. Joseph hlanch and Nlrs. Elmer hlilch officiated. How l.' V. Markcl, D. Levis, R. Judelsohn Treasurer, P. Hoffman Vice President, T. Homburger President, S. Getman Secretary, J. Blinkoff, C. Kaufman, N. Red- stone.

Cohen, A. hlelville, B. Cohn. Giving service to the school, Honor Society members have volunteered their time and talents to the tutorial system, a plan by which aid is given to students having academic difficulties. Organized through the Guidance Office, the aid has proven satisfactory and beneficial to the recipients. This fine service is directly attributable to the industry and helpfulness manifested by the Na- tional Honor Society seniors. Honor Society members have spoken on the subject of high school entrance to the seventh and eighth grad- ers at the nearby grammar schools. The advice given by our seniors has been happily received by these future Bennettonians. Part-time employment for many students has been secured by the Honor Society through the employment bureau it. has organized. Buffalo businessmen have been notified of the bureau's existence and are aware that the employees they might hire from Bennett are capable, industrious, and certified for eligibility by the school. It is an honor and a privilege to belong to the Na- tional Honor Society, for membership carries not only responsibility and service but also fun and companion- ship. It is particularly noteworthy that such an incipient group has, in its first year, accomplished so much. 133 VARSITY CLUB The lettermen of all varsity sports are eligible for membership in this society of brawn. Brain is demon- strated, however, because the boys this year donated sixty dollars to the school for use explicitly i11 our sports program. The activities are varied and involve such events as sponsoring the Varsity Dance, helping the boys' gym teachers and decorating the gym for social functions. PUBLIC ADDRESS CREW This is B.B.S., the Bennett Broadcasting Systemf' So the Public Aa'1lress Crew begins the student's day by informing him of daily club meetings, recent school achievements, and of special announcements. These trained and well-spoken students keep the student body well informed and help to maintain unity within the school. This year, girls have been permitted to become l'.A. Crew members, tllltl are doing just as well as the male Crew members. It is an honor to be o11 the Public Addre.s'.v Crew, and is fine preparation for future public speaking. BOYS' AND GIRLS' CIVIL DEFENSE CLUBS The boys and girls who are members of Bennettfs Civil Defense Clubs are eager to insure the safety of their fellow students and members of the community in the event of an enemy attack. A rigid and extensive training period in first aid and emergency civil defense work is undergone by each member. Through an annual assembly devoted completely to civil defense, these conscientious students try to educate the student body in regard to elementary defense precautions and safety measures. SERVICE ORGANIZATION JUNIOR RED CROSS SERVICE CLUB Knitting leper bandages, creating afghans for Vet- 0l'?lIl,S Ilospital, making favors and jokebooks for Chil- dren's Hospital and continually serving at the Red Cross Headquarters are the outstanding efforts of these girls. Each week four members prepare bottles of saline solution for transfusion, performing a vital and time- saving service. They also present an informative assem- bly for the student body as the kick-off for the animal Red Cross financial appeal. JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL Horneroom-elected Junior Red Cross Council repre- sentatives perform each year an important service both to the school and to the community. The Council meni- bers manage the Red Cross Drive within the school and correlate Junior Red Cross Service activities as per- formed by the adult Red Cross. The money collected in the drive has increased each year, and it is hoped that the Bennett tradition of giving generously will not stagnate. c nguoi? Sig I Q PUBLIC ADDRESS CREW R010 1: J.

Ingraham, N. Johnston, The tall, pretty, smiling young blonde girl who says hallo and gives a warm grin to everyone she meets is a product of the ingenuity of the versatile and productive Student Council. This friendly bit of internationalism is Elisabeth Gustavsson, our exchange student from Sweden. Beth is here for her senior year under the aus- pices of the American Field Service, a non-profit educa- tional organization which sponsors the exchange of high school students between the llnited States and many foreign countries. Beth could speak very little English when she first arrived in Buffalo, but by the end of the year she was dishing out slang as well as any other teen- ager and was completely at ease in our classrooms. Bennett is the first of the Buffalo Public Schools to have engaged in such a program and we are confident that in the foreseeable future the other public high schools will become interested in a similar venture. In order to procure a student, the American host school is required to pay a fee of 25650 to the American Field Service. An additional fee of 23500 will enable the host school to send one junior to a foreign country for the 138 C. Berry, li. Prince, P. ltosenthal. Row IV: A. Penn, C. Rores, S.

This tremendous fund-raising task has been carried on fully and eHi- ciently by our active Student Council. Pencils imprinted with basketball and swimming schedules, cookbooks with delectable international rec- ipes, and adult tickets for the football games were sold by the Student Council for the beneht of the Foreign Student Fund. The Foreign Student Dance, held in the Bennett Ballroom, was a big success and netted profit for the fund. A ltlother-Daughter Fashion Show was another money-raising effort. Bennett girls modeled clothes loaned by the Sample, Inc. before an audience of mothers, teachers, and school friends. The modeling was fun for the participating girls and helped to send our junior on the summer trip. The well-known Nlil- waukee-Downer College Glce Club gave a concert at Bennett for the sole benefit. of the Foreign Student Fund. The concert was most enjoyable, and was a great contributing factor to the success of the drive. In the Bennett tradition of being well-represented at the Inter lligh School Student Council, Judith Clarke this year fulfilled well the position of Secretary. Through Judy's interest and efficiency in the Council, Bennett was again considered one of the most active of the high schools. The Senior Boys' Lavatory Patrol, a Student Coun- cil organized committee which began last year, per- formed excellent service. The program was expanded to include girls, and now the S.G.L.P. is the co-group of the original S.B.L.l'. A very successful and entertaining This Is Your Life Assembly for lilr. Emmons B. Farrar, former Principal, was presented by the Student Council. Many of hlr. Farraris boyhood friends returned to school to participate in his honor program. The representatives on our student government organization are truly industrious, thoughtful and help- ful. Their often-unpraised services are for the benefit of each Bennett student and for the school as a whole, and have been given freely and with energetic enthusiasm which is commendable.

The Theory of the Expanding Universe, the mass spectrometer, and field trips are samples of the programs enjoyed by the group this year. MATH CLUB This year the gllath Club has continued to achieve its primary goal of making mathematics fun, a goal which poses some problems! Every meeting features a new and interesting program of discussion of such topics as: Division into Zero, False and Original Constructions, and various brain-teasing problems. BIOLOGY CLUB Any Benncttonian who has taken biology is eligible for membership in this club whose programs constitute trips to Roswell Park Memorial Institute, movies, and biological experiments. CHESS CLUB I got youg checkmatef' is the happy cry often heard during this club's meetings. Inter-school meets, club tournaments and member vs. member matches round out the activities of these enthusiastic members. DEBATE CLUB Debates, preparation of briefs, and workshops in de- bate technique constitute the activities of the Debate Club. BENNETT PLAYERS Being a Bennett Player is considered a privilege as well as a profitable experience, for only those who have actively participated in Bennett dramatic productions are eligible for membership. ACADEMIC CLUBS RUSSIAN CLUB The Russian Club was recently created to supplement the newly instituted course in Russian, a course in which Bennett is a pioneer in Western New York. Its purpose is to correlate the learning of Russian customs and ideas with practical use of the difhcult language. GERMAN CLUB German students, by belonging to this club, gain a clearer insight into the customs and culture of Germany. Games, parties, song fests and speeches by German vis- itors are the main activities. HEBREYV CLUB The officers of the Hebrew Club place particular em- phasis on programming to increase the group's knowl- edge of Hebrew by games and skits. Through this Inedi- um, the club's aims to promote the use of Hebrew as a familiar language, as well as promoting an interest in Israel as a modern nation, are fulfilled. FRENCH CLUB The purpose of French Club is to acquaint its members with French customs and culture, usually through games, speakers, and films. This year the Club held a successful and amusing auction, and, for the first time, published in conjunction with the French Honorary So- ciety, a newspaper entitled Un Peu de Poutf, SPANISH CLUB The recently reorganized Spanish Club promotes understanding of the Spanish language and people. By means of speakers, dancers, games and original skits the members achieve their purpose through fun. C 411 01 1. f 1 ' V ., -n. ,I 11111. .- 1,fs5.9' A A111154 MATH CLUB Row I: E. Weintraub, P.

By present- ing colorful and spirited programs at several football games and by providing musical background for almost every assembly, the band members have distinguished themselves, and are representatives of whom the stu- dent body may be proud. ORCHESTRA Participation in the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter Assemblies was the main achievement of this group of musicians. Their enthusiastic renditions of many classical pieces have helped to improve the cul- tural status and knowledge of all Bennettonians. MUSIC CLUB 146 BIUSIC CLUB Solos by members, speakers, and records have helped to create a year of enjoyment for the 1nusically-inter- ested students who are illusic Club members. This is a young organization, but it has already created interest and respect among the student body. Most Music Club members also belong either to the Band or to the Cho- rus and, in so doing, derive great personal pleasure from their musical hours. Row I: E. Fleysher, C. Rodriguez, V.

During the year, a field trip is taken at which time special studies of nature enable the photog- raphers to advance their camera experience. These capa- ble boys also aid in taking the candid activity BEACON pictures around the school. BENNETT RADIO AND ELECTRONICS CLUB The goal of electronics fans is to gain more knowledge through extra-curricular activities. Their club main- tains a circulating library of radio books to fulfill this purpose. An amateur radio station has been built and is used by all the members. Other projects include: films, lectures, tours, and demonstrations. Used televisions and radios, which are often donated to the club, are re- modeled by the boys and distributed to medical institu- tions and homes for the aged. FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA Bennettonians interested in a teaching career are en- abled, by membership in this club, to tour local colleges and to attend a statewide convention at Fredonia State Teacher's College to learn more about their chosen pro- fession. Aiding the school, the members act as guides for I'arent's Night. In keeping with the Bennett first. tradition, the members of Future Teachers of America helped to organize a similar club at Kensington. FUTURE DOCTORS Aspirants to the medical profession may join the new- ly formed Future Doctors club to acquaint themselves with medicine. Field trips and lectures form the year's activities, as these future M.D.'s acquire background for the fulfillment of their ambitions. One of the most valuable tours is the trip through the U.B. hledical School, where doctors and medical students explain their work and advise the hopefuls on entrance into medicine. SPECIAL INTEREST CLUBS FUTURE NURSES OF AMERICA If interested in nursing as a profession, girls find the movies, speakers, and tours through local hospitals and medical institutions, as conducted by Future Nurses an enlightening insight. Practical experience has been gained by the members by aiding the school nurses when Senior shots were administered. BOWLING CLUB Participation in bowling after school at the local al- leys gives a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction to the members of the Bowling Club. At the end of the year awards are given to the bowlers attaining the highest average. This activity provides another opportunity for these bowling fans to enjoy the very popular sport.

Few people realize the detail and protocol to be observed during flag suspension, both of which the trained girls execute exactly. It is to be hoped that the patriotic example of these girls will stir other students to more interest in the American flag ceremonies. ALPHA OMEGA HI-Y The girls of Alpha Omega have become revered for their efficient and honest management of the Lost and Found. Noteworthy also is their traditional Father- Daughter Banquet and steadfast service as waitresses for Y.M.C.A. dinners. BENNETT Y-TEENS A newly-instituted Hi-Y group is the Bennett Y- Teens. These girls present interesting and varied pro- grams concerning homemaking and arts and crafts, and are active in the community with their service works. HORIZON CLUB Affiliated with the Camp Fire Girls of America, the Horizon Club is organized for teen-aged girls. The girls, at their weekly evening meetings held in a church, plan their various charitable projects and service works. The Candlelight Ball, a Camp Fire-sponsored event, is al- ways well-attended by the Horizon Clubbers. CAYUGA HI-Y Although the newest of Bennett's Hi-Y's, Cayuga has begun well. Its newly-ratified constitution is considered ideal in its completeness, and has created a flow of ad- miration from the Hi-Y directors. CHI SIGMA HI-Y These purposeful Hi-Y members enjoy programs fea- turing speakers and movies plus panel discussions on such stimulating topics as the Hi-Y ideals of strong character in a modern world. HI-Y ORGANIZATIONS SENIOR GIRLS' HI-Y The juniors and seniors of Senior Girls' H i-Y sponsor the always-hilarious Bennett-Ken Assembly and aid the girls' gym teachers. Their outside activities include work at the Buffalo Wheel Chair Home, at the Cerebral Palsy Association, and the sponsoring of a monthly party in the wards at Children's Hospital. Elisabeth Gustavsson, our Swedish exchange student, was this year invited to join these girls. The closing meeting of the year is traditionally a very enjoyable progressive dinner. NORTH DELAWARE HI-Y The boys of North Delaware this year sponsored, for enjoyable meetings, a hay ride, toboggan party, and joint panel discussion with a girls' Hi-Y. .

Running er- rands, filing record cards, and acting as receptionists keep these energetic students busy. OFFICE MONITORS The office monitors act as junior assistants to the sec- retarial staff. Only honor students may be office moni- tors, and they perform such duties as operating the switchboard, filing, doing errands, and typing. LIBRARY MONITORS The industrious library monitors collect and deliver library slips, check books in and out, arrange the library bulletin board and table exhibits, and generally assist Mrs. Baldwin. ATTENDANCE MONITORS The attendance monitors collect the teachers' attend- ance cards, record tardinesses, and are responsible for verifying these figures and submitting them to the office. HALL MONITORS Seniors who volunteer for hall monitor duty keep order in the corridors and direct tardy students. An- other of their responsibilities is to escort visitors through the school. CAFETERIA MONITORS It is the duty of the cafeteria monitors to enforce the cafeteria rules, from preventing tardiness to lunch to seeing that good manners are observed by every stu- dent. SAFETY PATROL The boys of the Safety Patrol guard the crossing in front of school with the same disregard for bad weather as mailmen. Their stringent enforcement of traffic rules is beneficial to all. MONITORS BOOKROOM MONITORS Checking, stamping, and delivering books to teachers and guarding stored textbooks from theft are the re- sponsibilities of the bookroom monitors. They also keep accurate records on the books used at Bennett. GYM AND SWIMMING MONITORS Students assisting the gym and swimming teachers do so by taking over some secretarial work, informing the teachers when the period is almost over, and typing notices and gym information. - FLAG MARSHALS The flag marshals are active in every assembly, for they conduct the flag ceremonies and make sure that proper respect and protocol are observed. These boys are to be commended for their patriotic services. ' PROJECTION STAFF All of us are grateful to the projection staff for their efficient showing of the movies seen both in the class- room and in assembly. Movies are always a welcome supplement to a lecture course. fha, 6925? flklm ww X S fe Pm OFFICE MONITORS Row I: R. Milch, G. Cristall, N. Cohen, L. Fried, M. Miller, J. Green, M. Cole. Rau- Il: D.

EMMONS B. FARRAR A TRIBUTE Last spring, both students and teachers of Bennett High School were saddened to learn that Emmons B. Farrar, our beloved principal, was going to retire. ln June, 1958, thirty-three years of devoted service to this school came to an end as he handed the control of Bennett over to Mr. Miller who then was assistant principal. As a small token of our deep gratitude, we of Bennett dedicate this section of our yearbook to Mr. Farrarg our principal, leader, and friend. On March 11, 1899, Silas and Lydia Farrar welcomed the arrival of a new son whom they named Emmons Blaine Farrar. As little Emmons grew into robust boyhood, he had a great deal of companionship at home, for his family was a large one. He spent many happy days play- ing with his sister Marcia, now Mrs. Melntire, and his four brothers: Bert, Eliza, Cecil, and Percy. While he was still a child, Emmons and his Family moved froln Wellington, Maine, to Gilford, in the same state. Mr. Farrar received his early education in Gilford, graduating from elementary school in 1905 and from Gilford High School in 1910. After completing his high school course, the young man decided to further pursue his education at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. While at Colby, Mr. Farrar joined Delta Epsilon Kappa National Fraternity. During his college years he also became a Master Mason of Keneo Lodge F.8zA.lNI. His four years at Colby College completed, Mr. Farrar enlisted in the United States Armed Forces. He attended the Plattsburg Officers' Candidates School and received a commission as a First Lieutenant in the 301st Infantry. At that time he was transferred to Camp Dev- ens. Later, in 1916, he was sent to Buffalo in order to train boys at Technical High School for the service. While stationed in Buffalo, the young officer met the charming Helen Taylor. The two became good friends, fell in love, and finally were married on September 10, 1918. A few months after the wedding, Lieutenant Farrar was transferred again, this time to New York City. After spending a short time in New York City, Lieutenant Farrar left for Otterbein College in Westerville, Ohio. There he taught tech- nical subjects to 1200 recruits at the Citizenship Military Training Camp. In 1919, he was honorably discharged from Camp Sherman, in Chilicoth, Ohio. His military service temporarily ended, Mr. Farrar returned to his native New England to serve as assistant principal in a Thompson- ville, Connecticut, school. However, remembering the beautiful city where he had met his wife, Mr. Farrar decided to come back to Buf- falo. For several years he taught mathematics at Hutchinson Tech- nical High School. On June 25, 1925, Mr. and Mrs. Farrar were blessed with a baby boy. The happy couple named their new son William E. Farrar. Wil- liam attended school here in Buffalo. During World War II he enlisted and served in the United States Marine Corps. After the War, William continued his studies in the School of Hotel Management at Cornell University. He is now married and has presented Mr. Farrar with three lovely granddaughters. The year 1925 was an eventful one for Mr. Farrar. Three months after the birth of his son, he became 'the assistant principal of Bennett High School. At the time, Bennett was a new school and from its beginning the young educator helped to build its reputation for out- standing achievement. Eight years later, in 1933, Emmons B. Farrar became the principal of Bennett High School. Always interested in educational progress and new ideas, he introduced many valuable institutions. In 1934, Mr. Farrar initiated an advanced study programg forerunner of the honors and scholarship classes. He was also responsible for founding College Day, Career Day, pre-assembly ceremonies, student management of assemblies, and the Student Council. Under his leadership, Bennett became the best high school in the city. When the Second World War broke out, Mr. Farrar was called to serve his country once more. He was commissioned as an Army Air Force Captain and served overseas from February, 1942 to May, 1944. During that time he was promoted to the rank of Major. While Mr. Farrar was in England, Mr. Ray Spear acted as principal of Bennett. The next fourteen years saw Mr. Farrar re-assume the principalship of this high school and lead it to new heights of achievement. Scho- lastically, Bennett became known as one of the finest schools in the state. As Mr. Farrar often said, Just say you're from Bennett and you won't have to say any more. In spite of his busy schedule at Bennett, Mr. Farrar found time to take an active part in other facets of community life. He belongs to the Sons of the American Revolution, the Shrine Legion of Honor, the Buffalo Schoolmasters' Association, and the National Secondary School Principals' Association. In addition, he has been a member of the University Club and the Mercer Club for over twenty-five years. Ever concerned about the welfare of others, he is also on the Board of Directors of Deaconess Hospital. When Emmons Blaine Farrar retired from his longstanding position as principal of Bennett High School, students, teachers, and alumni felt a pang of sorrow. Yet his leaving us for the well-earned pleasures of retirement has not removed from us the effects of his long service. Bennett High School will always be a living testimony to the life of Emmons Blaine Farrar, a great and selfless man. 4 fy, z .I A z'!wfez'z'cs Q. ,..2 M K- . A. Diane Sharon Ginny CHEERLEADERS fn...

We at Bennett should like to pay tribute to those member of the Class of 1959 who have brought honor to themselves and to their Alma Mater by rightly earning this cherished award.

We compiled a mediocre record of five wins and four losses in regular season play and two playoff games. Mr. Braun, who we all know as the best coach in the city, faced many problems, namely, to rebuild a cham- pionship team and to find a place for practice. The seven players returning, mostly young 'uns, were: Don Alexander, Paul Emerick, Reg Eyre, Don Gilbert, Paul Hennessey, Bill Iannaccone, and Jerry Simon. Although we had the makings of a good team, it was doubtful as to whether Paul Emerick and Paul Hennessey, our battery, would receive the support they needed. Only time would tell. In our first encounter, with Seneca, we had the game all wrapped up in a wet paper bag, when suddenly it broke! Two singles in the last of the seventh gave Sen- eca the victory. Emerick fanned fourteen. It was too bad that these do not count in the final score. Although we pounded out more hits than McKinley, we were at the short end of the decision at the game's Mighty Casey at the bat 174 end. Faulty base-running was our main problem. Our hitting was led by Steve Gosch as he cracked two singles off All-High John Wojick. A wild first inning, producing four hits and ten runs, broke the game wide open as the Tigers swamped the Engineers from Tech. Hennessey smashed a booming triple and Don Gilbert collected two line-drives for two singles to lead the attack. Everyone played in the next game as we trampled East, while collecting sixteen hits. Dave Halick notched his second victory by fanning twelve. Simon chalked up a triple and two singles to lead the attack, while Gilbert, up for the second time in the first inning, blasted a home run. The day came when at last we played championship ball. Twelve Frontiersmen Went down swinging as Em- erick pitched a beauty by shutting out Riverside.

Our capabilities were evident, as we were the only team to beat Riverside the entire season. The next game found us dealing out another shut-out as Burgard fell in our wake. When Kensington beat us in regular season play, it forced us into a play-off to decide second place in our league. We bounced back and hammered Ken on nine hits. Emerick, striking out twelve, helped his own cause by belting a double and single, as did Eyre. The next game, which decided third and fourth places in the cup standings, pitted us against lNIcKinley. 1, . , - ' M ' ' t ,ff o ,-. 1' 'XA L A I , e. , ' ' if f ' . , .. . 5 w e .-. isp as -' QQ, 5 A A - if , 9 I P, ix 1 'svfiift . .gy7ggg9...LsisisQm.a5-ii-.',..e,,.. - - ' ' 'XE ,' ...ggi !M5zi..z-M...,5.,,.,,. ,, - ssisegiziwmfimn e si- MJ-f'rif+W . q , Q ,N e 1 ff ' H h' fu kv.. sg ,Z L, I got it Those boys don't look too tough Ten hits and seven runs later, we lost the game and came in fourth for the cup.

Never before has a Buffalo tennis team won the Dr. Bapst cup four years successively. Our hopes were good, for we had several returning lettermen from the previous year. Among them were the All High men Bruce VVeintraub, Richard Weisfeld, and Alan Gerstel. In addition there were the many squadmen who promised a good season for Coach Heis' boys. The most improved player was Weintraub Tennis Scoreboard Bennett 5 Grover Cleveland 0 Bennett 5 Riverside 0 Bennett 5 South Park 0 Bennett 5 Burgard 0 Bennett 5 Emerson 0 Bennett 5 Lafayette 0 Bennett 5 McKinley 0 Bennett 5 Technical 0 Bennett 5 Seneca 0 Bennett 5 East 0 Bennett 1 Kensington 4 176 and he was to bear the responsible position of first singles. So, equipped with a good team and high hopes, the tennis team started its season. As the season progressed, Benr1ett's chances kept im- proving. We had not lost an individual set while our apparent competition. Kensington, had lost three. Not only did this prove the worth of our team, but also it meant that all we had to do was to win two out of Hve matches from Ken. On this all-important match rested .tg- Point, set, match . the Bapst Trophy and a record of four wins in a row. On the day of the Ken match, a record crowd was on hand to witness the struggle. In the beginning, things were looking well as Alan Gerstel won his match and received an All High position at second singles. All we needed was to Win one more match. Weintraub at first singles, Weisfeld at third singles, and Wagner and Lip- sitz at first doubles all lost. This left Jacobowitz and Nathan at second doubles the determining factor. These boys won their Hrst set, and all they needed was one more. But, as in all sports, the game isn't won till the last point, and Ken retaliated by winning the next set. Thus, a tremendous pressure Was placed on the set, and we lost, in spite of a most valiant effort. Although we lost, this did not daunt our spirit. We already began to look toward next year for revenge and victory. The returning lettermen are Gerstel, Lipsitz, and Wagner. Coach Heis is also depending on some promis- ing squadmen. Along with these players and the fine coaching of Mr. Heis, our tennis team is looking forward to starting another winning streak next year. Another Gonzalas Row I: M. Schulgasser, J. Jacobowitz, R.

Although few experts felt that the 1958 Tigers would win the championship, the team's deter- mination made our opponents realize that their en- counter with Bennett would not be an easy one. Throughout April, Coach Rosenthal was pleased with the boys' progress. No one questioned the fact that a strong, well-balanced group was destined to wear the orange and blue of Bennett. This, in itself, was impor- tant: yet, a stronger thread held the team together: TRACK 5 sportsmanship. In Bennett's tradition, the entire team worked as one unit, no one wanted to or expected to be the standout. At the opening preliminary meet against Riverside and Lafayette, we finished first. John Heritage, Ed Fin- nerty, Frank Ralabate, Dave Rynne, and Don DiPirr0 finished first in their respective events, while Elbert Blanks and Fred Clarke tied for that coveted position. Our varsity relay team followed the fine example of the frosh team and also placed first.

This time McKinley and Grover Cleve- land fell victims to the Bennett spirit. Once again, Blanks, Heritage, Finnerty, and Ralabate led their respective events. Our winning ways continued against Kensington and Emerson. Ken placed a close second, but Emerson was left far behind. Although we failed to gain many first places, our boys grouped together in the second and third spots to save the day. However, at the final pre- liminary meet, the sky caved in, as our opponent de- feated us decisively. East placed first with Burgard second and Bennett, third. The stage was now set for the All-High meet in the last week of May. A strong team qualified, and our Tigers captured seventh place in a field of twelve. Fred Clarke made the selected winner's circle in the pole vault, while Frank Ralabate placed third in the mile. In addition, Heritage and Blanks came in fourth in their individual events. Clarke earned All-High honor by his accomplishment in the pole vault. Putting the shot As the season closed, we retired from the field of com- petition, not as victors, but as good sportsmen with pride in our hearts and the knowledge that we had per- formed well. Bennett will always be proud of the 1958 track team. Row I: L. Dade, S. Johnson, J. Eckner, F. Ralabate, J. Herritage, E. Finnerty, D. Clark, M. Dozoretz, C. Johnson, P. Young. Row Il.' J.

Last. year it had been a young team that took the eup, and this year that same team was back with even more help. It was no wonder that Coach Rosenthal talked in assemblies with a twinkle in his eye, or spoke a little longer whenever he found a listening audience, as he did everywhere he went. Ile felt, the team felt, and even the Bennett students and faculty felt, that here was the ideal team for cross country. No one tried to be big gun number one, no one even wanted to. All were just satisfied to be members of this team. The early part of September found boys running countless laps around the track at All-High Stadium on afternoons after school. On an evening, a wanderer at The mee is on. COLUMBIA CUP CHAMPIONS GEHRING Delaware Park Lake might see two or three familiar young men pacing the circumference of the lakeside run- ning paths. This was preparation above and beyond the call of duty: the kind that gets no special praise, only the pride in victory. Thus, by the time the season opened for preliminary races on September 23, a confi- dent and hopeful team wore the orange and blue of Bennett. Bennett in the lead, again. The last mile. South Park and Emerson were our first victims on that pleasant afternoon. Newcomer Donnell VVilliams, a senior, led the pack at the finish, and was immediately followed by Paul Young and Frank Ralabate. Young Ed Finnerty, and Bob Maclin were fifth and sixth re- spectively. One week later found us going against Ken and Bur- gard. Again we placed first, second, and third, but this time in different order: Ralabate, Williams, and Young. Dennis Clark took ninth place in the race to earn us our second straight victory. Riverside and East were the next to fall before our barriers, Seneca and lNIcKinley were the last teams we faced before entering the final All-High meet. Again Bennett was the undisputed winner. Now we were ready to enter the meet that counted as favorites on the basis of our undefeated preliminary season.

You might have seen colors of other schools running everywhere, but near the center you found a solid pack of orange and blue shirts. Thus, they were to stay until the last of the race when they sprinted for position. Tech's Ron Smith was first and narrowly missed a new record. Directly behind him came our own Frank Rala- bate, with Williams finishing fourth and Young eighth. Bob Maclin came in number fifteen, and four places behind him came Ed Finnerty to give us the win with 48 points. Burgard, our nearest rival had 73, or almost twice the number of points that we had. Ken was third with 101. Champs we had been, champs we are, and champs we hope to stay. Because of their fine running, Ralabate and Williams were made All-High runners: but more important, their goal had been reached. The Columbia Cup was Ben- nett's for the second straight year.

These young men represent Bennettfs football team of which we sing, cheer, and over which we become hoarse. This year, however, something special seemed added to the training sessions . . . Spirit! It was, indeed, even more spirit than Benncttonians have been accustomed to, for this, they felt, was a team of destiny, as truly it was to be. A veteran bac-kfield, headed by Don Gilbert at quar- terback and f'arl Johnson at half, plus strong liI1C men in the persons of George Ox Zilliox, and Joseph Flood at center added to this crew to give promise to our motto: The best is yet, to bef' And so the team diligently tember until September Q0-Opening game. Our first opponent was East., our first victim, the same East team. In this onslought, Don Gilbert provided most of the scoring with three touchdowns and 112 yards gained. Varl Johnson, the back no one man can stop, scored the fourth and final T.D. as the Bennett stands shouted approval. Lafayette, our second opponent fell by similar cir- cumstances. This time Carl Johnson and Don Brunner, who worked from Gilbert's spot, led the merciless attack. Bennett met Tech on October 18 and left, them slight- ly stunned with a tremendous defeat. Lest we should start to call this a 3 or 4- man team, the loyal Bennett fans saw husky end George 1Veiner and Talbot Freeland score one six-pointer apiece, as senior Jim Adel bulled his way through the Engineer's line for another touch- down. Gilbert., of course, struck for blood by completing the scoring on a lone T.D.,' GEHRING The Bulldogs of Burgard were the next to meet. defeat at the hands of Bennett,s football machine at Riverside field.

On November 1, took place the traditional Bennett- Ken game. True, we were favored to win, but past expe- rience warned us not to let down our guard. Fans gave the team its biggest boost in years by participating in the largest Bennett-Ken car parade ever, and the largest attendance in any student's memory. Support from the loyal student body and alumni paid off, for we walked home with a decisive victory under our belts. It was the first Bennett victory in the classic for many years.

A cold, and somewhat damp day did not keep the fans away, but did manage to keep them a bit numb. Score it how you Will, praise whomever you will, but this was truly Ben- nett's finest hour.

CHAMIW NS 1959 At the end of the season Coach Fred Braun com- mented, I may have had better teams from the stand- point, of offensive potential or star performers, but as an all-around team, both offensive and defensive, this was the best. Mr. Braun is known as a man of choice words and this quotation seems to sum up the season better than any lengthy discourse. The faets alone are all that is needed to show the quality of the championship Tigers. Predictions were favorable for this team. Just how good we were to be, was a point to be proven. Last year's squad left us with Talbot Freeland, a star athlete, Don Gilbert, a defensive whiz, Elbert Cootie Blanks, the jumping jack, John Hazelet, Don Alexander and Nick Bellanca. Bill Ianaccone and Rich Patterson were also ready and able to lend a hand. Newcomer Rich Freeland seemed to rate a spot a starter and Art Swaney, another transferee looked tough enough to fight. for any- one's position. Seniors Don Dilfirro, Reg Eyre, and John Sharp passing lNQ L Lewis showed up well in pre-season games as did under- classmen Sam Miloro, Ron Hunter, and Ed F innerty. Time was to tell, and here is the tale. The season opened against Lafayette on their court, notorious for its difficulty in operation. Bennett put on a defensive show that gave rent to founded optimism as the team sparkled under Assistant Coach Teddy lNloore's leadership, and soundly defeated Lafayette. Riverside fell as number two victim as we opened the home season. Talbot and Cootie led the victors with 23 and 14 points respectively. Emerson was next to go by the now familiar winning score, and Seneca and East soon fell at the hand of the Tigers. The Burgard game was almost an upset. It wasn't until the last 15 seconds of the game, when D011 Gilbert stole the ball and scored, that Bennett was in the lead. Gilbert missed an awarded free throw but got his own rebound to ice the game for us. By now f'ootie Blanks had amassed more in the highest rebounding percentage on the team by averaging at least a dozen per game.

VVe scored another victory. Kensington set us all the way back, however, by sur- prising the Tigers on their one bad game with an almost perfect zone defense. We were down at the half by only one point and even took a brief lead after, that but fate and the referee,s whistle seemed to contrive against us. The Macs of McKinley were the next team we met. Once more We put ourselves on the winning track by soundly defeating our visitors on the Bennett court. Grover Cleveland and South Park were the last teams to meet our wrath as we closed the season as Yale Cup Champs for fthe second time in three years. One week later Bennett met lNTeKinley for the first round of the Board of Education Cup playoffs and walked off with probably their best victory of the cam- paign. All-High Talbot Freeland was as hot as fire as he blazed the way with 24 points. The team is in the huddlef' W Y V Under the boards The final game of the playoffs pitted us against the fine Seneca Indians. All season long we seemed to depend on one big scorer in Talbot. Now, when the Seneca de- fense seemed to find his weakness, young Elbert Blanks took over and put on a show that will long be remem- bered, as he led us on with 24 points, many rebounds, and half a dozen steals. In the history of the playoff, this marked the first time any team had finished the season by winning both cups, and all Bennett is proud to have had this fine team accomplish such a feat. For their playing abilities Don Gilbert and Talbot Freeland were awarded All-High berths on the illustrious squads in both papers. For this year we say Thanks g for next we say, Opponents, watch out!

In our third encounter, the Tigers lost a heart- breaker to arch-rival Ken. We swam against a very in- experienced South Park squad in our next dual meet and as a result found ourselves back on the victory trail with a solid triumph.

Under the management of Miss Roberts and Mrs. Strunk, teams are organized in baseball, basket- ball, and volleyball. The life-saving and synchronized swimming classes are supervised by Miss Baecher. Drill team and refereeing activities are also undertaken to acquire points needed for the letters. BASEBALL This year's sports program began with the call: Bat- ter up. Freshmen through Seniors battled it out in the round robin series to decide the winners. After many weeks of these highly competitive games, Senior II emerged victorious after having beaten the previously undefeated Junior I. The championship baseball players were: Ruth Morey, Carolyn Acker, Ellen Wolfson, Jean Bernard, Sandra Bernard, Shirley Hett, Elaine Kaiser, Sharon Munn, Pat Shaw, and Jeanette Guardalibene. SWIMMING Swimming plays an important role in the sports pro- gram. The life-saving course given provides the girls with valuable training, qualifying them for jobs as life- guards and swimming instructors at camps. Classes in synchronized swimming are offered to those who enjoy the aquatic depths. Those who attended the U.B. workshop, held February 1, received added stimu- lus to the work they had been doing at Bennett. Participants in this program were: J. Bateman, L. Carroll, P. Solly, B. Dus, P. Craw, J. Crehan, M. Ros- cini, F. Ceravalo, S. Peterson, L. Hessinger, BI. Mayer, S. Scotland, S. DuPont, L. LeWien, M. Willert, and K. Semenick.
