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

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.
