The means we use in performing these acts of com- munication arc as varied as the messages they convey. Phonographs, telcphoucs, radios, and televisions ure representatives of thc age of scientific living which we as young adults have inherited. Not to he overlooked are the newspapers, books, and letters which man has for centuries employed in reporting his daily activities. It, therefore, becomes evident that this book is indeed the means by which we, the students, communicate and record the events that have transpired during thc past school ycnr. The Seniors will lind painted on these pages a picturesque conclusion to four years of truly memorable experiences punctuated by much happiness and hard work. Within the symbolically radiant covers, every Bennett student will find the spirit, initiative, and intellect which our school's classrooms and extracurric- ular activitics strive to transmit. Having thus realized the importance of Communica- tions in our twentieth century, we can recognize that its selection as a theme for this year's book was most ap- propriate. Students and faculty of Bennett, with Com- municalions as our guide and nearly two thousand of you as our subjects, we proudly present thc 1960 Ben- nett BEACON. -Peter Troobof S1 im 4 Agfvw k A BEACON BENNETT HIGH SCHOOL BUFFALO NEW YORK DEDICATION In Memoriam FRED BRAUN All of us at Bennett High School were suddenly sad- dened on November 13, 1959, when we lost our warm friend, teacher, and coach, Fred Braun. Brauny, as he was affectionately known to faculty and students alike, was at the helm of Bennett's great athletic teams for the last thirty-two years. During this span the rec- ords his teams compiled were nothing short of remark- able. In Brauny's sixteen years as football coach his squads had an incomparable record of 68 wins, 34 losses, and 5 ties, as well as 5 Harvard Cup Championships. While he was basketball coach his teams won 235 games while losing only 121 over a 27 year span, with 4- Yale Cup Championship teams. Equally as amazing, Brauny's baseball teams won 173 contests while suf- fering only 74 defeats over 32 years and also took pos- session of the Cornell Cup no less than 6 times. Mr. Braun also won several golf championships during his first years at Bennett. Fred Braun, undoubtedly a Bennett immortal, will be remembered best by those who experienced the thril 'ng battle of athletic competition with him as their lea er. Not only would Brauny teach his athletes the fun la- mentals of the sport of their choice, but he also was in- terested in bringing out a boy's personality trails nd tried to establish fine character habits. Brauny jlso tried to make his boys realize hoyv important good sc io- lastic achievement was, for he often remarked to a promising athlete, I dou't care how good you are! n- less you have the marks you won't be able to go to ol- legeln Because of the respect he commanded of his h- letcs, the respect and confidence? he had in his athle .cs, and his persistent emphasis on good grades, Mr. Br un molded average boys into good boys and good boys fhto great men, both as athletes and as citizens. During the years, Brauny often times meant the difference be- tween success and failure for many a boy. Fred Braun was admired by ieveryone who cami in contact with him. One of his personal traits which 'as so outstanding was his warm and pleasant personality. He would never stop talking about tense situation in sports, great athletes, swift racle horses, and his fllrur treasured grandchildren. Whether athlete or scho r, students often came to Brauny with their probl s and he never failed to provide ia satisfactory solution. As the years passed this true competitor played an important part in instilling a spirit in Bennett athlc tic teams which will never be forgotten. Because of t zis spirit Brauny instilled in Bennett, our school as risen to the top in almost everything it encounters. We, the students and faculty members of Ben tt High School, shall not mourn at this man's death, ut be thankful we were able to have him as long as we 'd. Now Fred Braun rests with the greatest Coach of th m all and we truly hope that for this unforgettable m n, The best is yet to be.

The pur- f I education is to develop those qualities which pose o any will enable the individual to gain the most from life. Here h' f at Bennett we are fortunate to have the leaders IP o d d' ated to the cause of the education of our people e IC youth. Ever interested in the needs of the school and its ' h t nd- students, they are always working to advance t e s a ards of scholarship at Bennett. LLOYD A. MILLER Pfimqml With the trademarks of a friendly smile, a warm hello, and usually a good anecdote, Lloyd A. Miller completes his second year as Bennett's principal. A graduate of the University of Buffalo in 19??, he began his career teaching business subjects at Riverside High School. In 194-2 he was appointed assistant principal of this school. The following year he left there to assume a similar capacity at East. On February 20, 1957, Mr. Miller entered Bennett as assistant principal and after Mr. Farrar's retirement we found him occupying the principal's chair. The fresh coat of paint for Bennett's walls, and the numerous other school improvements, are the results of Mr. Miller's persistence. His suggestions also prompted the construction of the fully equipped student activities room and the new teachers' parking lot. This year, Bennett with Mr. Miller's guidance added many new classes. Among the curriculum changes were the institution of a Sophomore girls' secretarial course and the inclusion of an extra lab period in the Physics program. Mr. liaiken was first introduced to Bennett High School as a Social Studies teacher. In 1958, after three years ns assistant principal at Public School yF87, Mr. Raiken returned to Bennett High School as assistant principal. Besides supervising attendance and discipline, Mr. Raiken was also responsible for initiating the sale of paper back books in our cafeteria, and for advising the Key Club. In addition to these activities, Mr. Raiken acts as principal of Bennett's Night and Summer Schools. When asked what his hrs! impression of Bennett High School was, Mr. Raiken said, I was most impressed with the air of activity, of progress, and of excitement. He believes that Beunett's leadership is reflected in the many large and small projects. I shall never cease to be amazed at the accomplishments of Bennett High School, its student body and faculty. Mr. Raiken, stating what hc liked heat about Ben- nett, said that the students are his lirst choice. The cn- thusiastic way in which Bennett students respond to the complete program at Bennett has helped to give Bennett its excellent reputation. Looking into the future, Mr. Raiken said, Bennett will continue to grow and change. Its curriculum will not remain stagnant but, as is the tradition at Bennett, it will continually adapt itself to the times. Morris Raiken, assistant principal, has dedicated himself to education, and truly represents Bennett High School's high caliber of administration. Amlrtant Princqml MORRIS RAIKEN 9 is --Jeff? .

OWEIN Ojioe Ojicc The longer the Honor Roll, Wherc's your note to leave the more I enjoy typing it school? Bennett High School could not func- tion for one hour without its eilicient Of- fice Surf. This group is at the heart of the school, performing all thc operations nec- essary for a smooth running machine. Thanks to the Ofice Stag, hundreds of students each have their own individual record cards, containing a complete scho- lastic, extra-curricular, and behavior rec- ord. They are closely kept during the student's four year stay at Bennett, and are often used as references for student employers. Pupils' schedule cards are also kept to enable the contact of a student at any time during the day. In addition to these duties, Bennett's financial transac- tions and the treasuries of all the school organizations are supervised carefully and accurately by these capable secretaries. Bennett's Ofioe Stag will always be appreciated, for the work they do is an invaluable part of our school's adminis- tration. THERESA BIEIILER MARION A.

Nfffsww l i s e T HE students at Bennett should be aware of the molding infiuence which is exerted upon them by their teachers. These people have devoted much of their lives to the training of young minds, so as to develop the leaders of tomorrow. Bennett main- tains its high level of education only through the efforts of its faculty. l E H ff F AC U LTY THE FACULTY OF BE ETT 1959-1960 PAUL R. BANKOSKE Industrial Arts Better hring those tools back! ART The minds and pens of the art students at Bennett have been well cultivated by their experienced and enthusiastic instructors. This year, thirty-live students in the advertising art classes put much elfort into attractive and significant posters for the Health Poster Contest, sponsored by the Wom- an's Auxiliary and Medical Society of the State of New York. Another group of students participated in the Brother- hood of Mau poster contest. This competition was spon- sored hy B'nai B'rith, an international service organization. The pupils labored many long hours on their entries and pro- duced many artistic posters. On the bulletin boards throughout the school year, a va- riety of fme art work was displayed. These exhibits portrayed different art mediums and featured clever designs and orig- inal drawings. In every corridor, students were reminded of BEACON sales, our Better Dress Campaign, the Bean and Belle Brummel contests, and of the need to keep our cafeteria orderly, thanks to the diligence of our Art Department. Surely the numerous contributions of this department to the school's operation is most valuable and greatly appreciated by all of Bennett's faculty and students. The teachers and students of Bennett's Art Department are to be congratulated on their outstanding support of their school's activities. 12 1 1 Creative Art makes our school .Tid homes more beautiful 1 I l 1 l ' ' r .

Introduction to Business is just what the name implies, for it acquaints the student with many commercial techniques and procedures. Business Arithmetic alIords the student a mathematical background necessary for success in the modern business world. Classes in Business Law go to court twice a year to witness civil cases. In this way students learn hy first-hand experi- ence how Buffalo's judicial department is organized and con- ducted. The students also prepare projects from newspapers about cases tried in the various courts, thereby keeping a record of interesting and important litigation which can be utilized at a later date. In shorthand the students try Gregg Company special tests. Those earning favorable results receive certificates from this company. In typing classes the slower students get extra practice sessions, while the better typists try speed and accu- racy tests for certificates awarded by various publishing companies. After four years of concentrated study, Bennett's business majors are assured of success in whatever commercial occupa- tion they select. 13 ENGLISH .lust as a well-written composition has an introduction, so does the well-informed Freshman at Bennett have an intro- duction to basic English. After English II with Julius Caesar and more grammar drill, the third year English student is ex- posed to curriculum of a dilferent nature. Extensive work in vocabulary and composition is conducted in preparation for college board and scholarship examinations. Some English classes compiled an anthology of original verse set in an ar- tistic hackground of the student's design. Part of the English Department, Bennett's Drama and Speech Department entertains the school with a variety show and play. In order to give their courses additional meaning the students also participate in many classroom and inter- school debates and speaking contests. For the Senior, fourth year English was unusually stimu- lating. A major part of the year's work concerned the writing of weekly themes. In conjunction with these assignments, a literary magazine, The Harbinger, was published containing the hest efforts of the honors classes. Bennett's English courses are indeed designed to cover all phases of this complex subject. Its obvious success is verified by the returning college Freshmen who repeatedly say how well Bennett prepared them for college English. JUSTINA R.

Vocational and academic testing as well as the processing 'of college applications, are the two essential duties of our Guidance Department. This year many exams were given to the students for the purpose of improving the present system of honors and scholarship classes. These tests also aided the counselors in giving advice to students concerning their high school courses, college plans, and vocational aspirations. Those Seniors applying for scholarship aid, are greatly as- sisted hy a booklet describing scholarships made available by various Western New York associations. This report, pub- lished by the Board of Education, is compiled by our own Guidance Department. College Day, an annual event at Bennett, is another pro- gram sponsorcd by our Guidance Department. It feattres con- ferences for future college students with representatives from various universities. Relating to college, we lind that over a thousand college applications pass through the Guidance Office for marks, recommendations, and other information. Bennett's Seniors who are accepted to college, and who embark on successful careers, certainly can trace much of their inspiration to the excellent advice and counsel, which was rendered by our able Guidance Department.

GABRIEL Social Studies What we need is diplomats to get us out of this mess! HOMEMAKING Bennett Homemaking students learned how to please their future families under the leadership of their capable teachers. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach, was clearly exemplified in these student's daily classes. The girls made luscious brownies and scrumptious pies, that lilled the fourth floor corridors with a tantalizing odor that made one's mouth water. This year, the girls once again entered the Betty Crocker contest in which state and national scholar- ships were awarded. In the sewing classes, the girls were instructed in the arts of good grooming, color harmony, and balance. Besides making articles of clothing for their personal use, the girls created wool bonnets which were given to the retarded children of our city. Bennett s school nurse, cooperating with the Homemalring Department, gave informative health demonstrations in Home Nursing. This subject is related to another useful and essen- tial course, Childcare. As a conclusion to this comprehensive training, Family Re- lations, offered only to Seniors, taught Bennett's future homemakers general housekeeping and family management. Thus Benuett's girls leave our school well prepared for their role in society as housewives and mothers. , I6 ' l .l0llN P.

INDUSTRIAL ARTS 'T The manual talents of Bennctt's boys are developed under the competent guidance of the Industrial Arts instructors. First year introductory shop courses are designed to help the student discover his major interests and aptitudes. The Gen- eral Shop class is divided in September: half taking metal and wood design, the other half working with and learning the arts of plastics, ceramics, and printing. At the end ofthe first semester they exchange places. If the student wishes, he may continue with a printing course in his Sophomore year and one in advanced printing the following year. Other subjects available to dexterous upper classmen involve study in metal- lurgy and Woodcraft. Besides offering valuable training, the print shop performs an important service to thc school. These classes are respon- sible for printing the Variety Show and school play programs and tickets, as well as many school documents. The Indus- lrial Arts division also aids the BEACON by printing adver- tising anrl sales blanks. Surely Bennett's Industrial Arts department not only trains students for careers but also gives them a valuable background for future do-it-yourself projects. The achieve- ments of these young men are truly representative of the caliber of Bennett's accomplishments. I7 LANGUAGES The modern language classes at Bennett spent a busy year engaging in many projects. Periods were set aside in the lIe- brew classes for listening to Israeli songs. French classes pre- pared seasonal projects sueh as Thanksgiving prayers and Christmas cards in addition to reading classical literature. Bennett is fortunate in being the only Buffalo school offering a course in Russian. This year these classes presented a play concerning Russian life spoken in the native tongue. During the past year, selected language students experi- mented with six sound equipped booths which were insti- tuted as part ofa temporary Language Laboratory. The stu- dents' activity involved listening to tapes and records, espe- cially prepared for the language they were studying. The pur- pose of this project was to develop, along with the ability to read and interpret the language, a facility in using it in con- versation. French students participated in the National French Con- test while German and Spanish students did the same in their respective subjects. The Latin classes were kept busy reading Caesar and Cicero, but found enough time to read hooks on Roman culture. Thus, Languages at Bennett are truly inter- esting.

MYERS Art This is the twentieth century MATHEMATICS This past year intriguing trends have brought about many advances in the curriculum of the mathematics courses offered at Bennett. After a year of elementary algebra, students in tenth year scholarship classes take plane and fundamental solid geometry. Eleventh year classes study trigonometry and intermediate algebra. Scholarship classes take the eleventh year examina- tion in January and are also exposed to Advanced Algebra. The twelfth year courses available to students are as varied as the talents ofthe instructors who teach them. After re- ceiving extensive mathematical foundations in their Hrst three years, Bennett's mathematicians can really begin to exercise their brains. The twelfth year honors and scholarship classes follow an advanced placement syllabus. The twelfth year experimental course, extremely interesting and challeng- ing, develops modern mathematics as do all twelfth year courses. Added to this curriculum, however, are such subjects as analytical geometry and calculus. These students also pre- pare original projects and discuss them in classroom dem- onstrations. Thus, Bennctt's graduates enter college well prepared by our Illallienmlics Department.

FRANK NOWAK .Music All together now-one, two, three MUSIC Bennett owes much to its music instructors whose efforts have provided us with the music so vital to many school activ- ities. The Chorus and Orchestra play a large part in the pres- entation of the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter assem- blies, where the singing of seasonal songs and the playing of appropriate music furnish us with the proper atmosphere. Our third musical group, the Band, maintains school spirit by its presence at all football games, and has, along with an enthu- siastic student body, cheered Bennett teams through two un- defeated seasons. In addition to these services, the Music Department has classes in Harmony I and II, Music History, and Rudiments of Music. Music History students wrote term papers on com- posers and presented their papers before the class. Harmony gives students a chance to work on original compositions, the most promising of which are sent to the Best of Today. Many Band and Chorus members belong to the Music Club. In this newly formed organization, the musical ahil- ities of its members are given free expression. Bennett can and should be proud of its active and diversi- fied Music program. 20 I CATHERINE G.

They also participated in the exciting sports of baseball, basketball, football, and swimming. Uur Physical EJUCGHOII program is a training ground for the major letter athletes. The swimming monitors are Varsity team members who assist with the swimming classes. Letter- meu from the other teams use their gym periods for practice and conditioning. The girls also had fun in the gym and the pool. Participa- ting in baseball, volleyball and other team sports, they each developed a sense of real cooperation. This year, the State Physical Fitness tests were once again taken by every Ben- nett boy and girl, to determine whether he or she was a phys- ical genius or a physical wreck. Besides having a good time in these classes, Bennett's boys and girls are being trained by capable leaders in the arts of good sportsmanship, leadership, and coordination. They not only have developed healthy bodies through exercise, but have strengthened their personalities as well. SCIENCE The challenge of the space age has been strongly met by Bennett's Science Departmenl. Remodeling and the generous addition of new equipment have both greatly aided this de- partment. After General or Earth Science, Bennett's scien- tists embark upon the fascinating world of Biology. Dissec- tions and experiments provide ample opportunity for the in- terested student to pursue the answers to questions which puzzle him. Chemistry next challenges the student. Bennett s new lab- oratories have given students better facilities for conducting traditional experiments. Some of the chemistry classes tour local chemical companies to view first-hand professional chemical research. Physics enables students to learn some of the basic prin- ciples of the behavior of matter. Sound, heat, and electricity comprise part of the curriculum. One class, called P.5.S.C., is studying this subject on a higher level with college literature. Each of the described branches of the Science Department has helped us to understand the world about us. Many ont- side benetits such as fellowships to study at area hospitals are obtained through interests and knowledge gained at Bennett. Bennett High School will always profit from the Science De- partment and its excellent staff.

TRAVIS Science Science is organized knowledge SOCIAL STUDIES The writing of a term paper, was a project which occupied the spare moments of many American history students. These assignments, to find extensive information about one subject, benefited the pupil by giving him new knowledge as well as practice in making use of available reference sources. It is indeed difficult for students to remember every im- portant date, person, and event. For this reason, another method of conveying historic material to the student was through panels and discussions. In some classes, small groups presented skits to dramatize specific phases in their studies. Thus, these important ideas are retained longer than if they were taught by mental association. The information contained in thc history books was not the only source of subject matter. In the economic world classes, many topics of study were discussed in movies which were shown to the students. Moreover, much emphasis was also placed on the study of current events. Tl1is material was not obtained solely from local news sources, for some classes in- vested in a periodic newspaper to help keep them abreast of significant world developments. Thus, Bennett students leave our school ready to become useful and informed American citizens.

MANCH HARVEY D. TANANBAUM . . . RONALD M. KRAUSS Graduation marks a transition for us, dividing the world of childhood from that of adulthood. Now is the time when we must face the reality surrounding us. We are about to enter a society that can be harsh and demanding, confusing and perplexing. How we fare in it depends on the training we have heretofore received. Four years ago we entered Bennett High School, as optimistic, yet chary, freshmen. Bewildered at first by our strange surroundings, we soon found a place for ourselves within these four walls. Making acquaintances and forming friendships, some of which will last our lifetimes, we became an integral part of the Bennett family. It was here that we received that training invaluable in conditioning us for the future. Stimu- lated by our excellent teachers, we worked assiduously, acquiring knowledge to aid us in earning a livelihood, either immediately upon graduation or following higher education at college. Beneficial experience was provided by the vast extracurricular program offered at Bennett. Those of us with athletic ability were afforded the opportunity to develop their prowess. Honor societies, service organizations, and special activities clubs brought us into contact with others having similar interests. Co-operation with fellow students was conducive toward the reconcilia- Lion of the egoism characterizing childhood with the consideration for others denoting the mature individual. In retrospection, we realize the gratitude due our principal, Mr. Miller, and our assistant prin- cipal, Mr. Raiken. It is only through their unremitting efforts and outstanding leadership that Bennett is able to maintain its enviable reputation as one of the foremost secondary schools in the country. Also deserving our most sincere thanks are our teachers and our guidance coimsellors, who have spent many long hours instructing, encouraging, advising, and otherwise assisting us. They have all left their impression upon us and their perseverance in our inculcation should not pass unrecognized. We all, I am certain, should like to express our own individual appreciation to our parents, who have thus far guided us through life. These devoted people have borne our tribulations and mo- mentary setbacks with us and have shared in the exultations of our successes. They have been the dominant factors in preparing us for life as mature adults and responsible citizens. To them go our most heartfelt thanks. With these ideas in mind, we, though a bit apprehensive, face the future confident that we shall succeed in our prospective endeavors. We have benefitted from the best possible training at home and at school: our parents and our teachers have done their utmost to assist us. It is therefore with the spirit Optima Futura that we leave Bennett-the feeling that the best is yet to be. 8.7 27 ALEDICTORY SENIOR C ASS HISTURY FRESHMEN Who realized when we entered the front doors of Ben- nett High School on that morning in September of 1956, that we would never be allowed to do so again? Who knew that we would be the Class to witness the retire- ment of Emmons B. Farrar, Bennett's outstanding principal for twenty-live years? Did you know we would witness the coming of Lloyd A. Miller, and a newly painted and decorated school? What did we realize way hack when Larry Meyers was under live feet tall, and Iris Meznakowski was the dancing rage of the Freshman Class? Let's gn back and see what we were like in those days of 1956. Our Freshman Class was seven hundred strong, and after considerable worrying, we were assigned to our homerooms. Don Gilbert lost no time in beginning his fabulous athletic record. Don was football quarter- back, and with expert assistance from Joe Flood, Don Brunner, and Carl Johnson, we placed third in Harvard Cup play. Later in the year, we Freshman took over the Ben- nett stage at our own assembly. Bonnie Bursuck, Sandy Nordhoff, and .loel Russ made their stage debuts. The assembly was appreciated by all. In June, we had our first taste of high school exams, and then we left for summer vacation, knowing that when we returned our plebcship would be terminated. SOPHOMORES The Wise Fools they called us as we began our see- ond year at Bennett. It was evident however, that Har- vey Tananbaum was no Wise Fool. Harvey was at the top of the Class, and he often sported an average of over 9921! Other Sophomores were also proving that they were not Wise Fools. For the first time in Ben- nett history Cand the lastj, a Class elected 'Sophomore Ollicers. President Sam Johnson, Vice-President Nancy Parker, Secretary Debbie Fox, Girls' Treasurer Judy Eppers, and Boys' Treasurer Hanley Horwitz, excelled as Class administrators. In addition, Peter Trooboff did an excellent job in formulating the Sophomore Column of the BEACON. In its Sophomore season, the sensational Class of '60 was not without tremendous athletic representation. Don Gilbert received an Honorable Mention All-lligh in Football and Basketball. Steve Wagner and Bob Lipsitz were mainstays of Bc-nnett's Tennis team. Ath- letically, the female Sophomores were also not without adequate recognition. Sharon 0'lIara, Betsy llall, Bon- nie Bursuck, and Jill Kramer were key members of Bennett's cheerleading squad. Finally, i.n the spring of 1958, our respected principal, Emmons B. Farrar announced his retirement. We were all very sad to hear this news. All too soon, it was June once again, and the Wise Fools left, to return as Jun- iors in the fall. .IUNIORS The beginning of our third year at Bennett marked the halfway point in our high school careers. Already our Class had left an indelible mark on Bennett history. It was this year, however, that the Class of '60 began its most significant achievements. Starting right in, our harriers won the Cross Country Championship for the second successive year. As if this wasn't enough, our Football team, filled with Junior Stars, enjoyed an un- defeated season, and gained control of the Harvard Cup. Also that fall, was Bennett's fine Variety Show, Tell IL To The Illarines. Juniors again headed the card with superb performances by Sam Boykins, Daryl Clark, Bonnie Bursuck, and Al Rizzuto, to mention only a few. Who will ever forget that day in March when mem- bers of the Junior Class first took their look at College Boards? Our Class, led by Harvey Tananbaum, Ron Krauss, Rosalyn Goldman, Peter Trooboff, and Bob Potter excelled in the three hour nightmare. Springtime meant Junior Class elections, and Sam Johnson was again elected as chief of the Class. In addi- tion, the able ofliceholders wcrc: Debbie Fox, Vice- President, Leslie Wright, Secretary, Judy Eppers, Girls' Treasurer, and Don Gilbert, Boys' Treasurer. Our able representative to the Executive Council of the Stu- dent Council was Hanley Horwitz. Perhaps the most distinguished achievement of our crew was the number of representatives we placed on All-High Teams. Don Gilbert received the accolade in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Joe Flood was also a Football All-High first stringer, and Bob Dickman and Cary Presant were Tennis selections. As ifthis wasn't enough, Elbert Blanks was All-High high jump- er in Track competition. The Tigers succeeded in cap- turing the all around athletic supremacy award, the Williams Cup. The 1958-59 term was a successful one for Bennett, and the Junior Class was thoroughly inspired with the spirit and reverence which makes our school the finest in Buffalo. The Juniors of Bennett had proved that in their final effort, which was to begin in the fall, the best was to be seen! SENIORS Early in the fall, we again began proving that we were a special Class. Our Tiger Football team again won the Harvard Cup. The Bennett goal line was only crossed once in the entire season. Eleven Seniors re- ceived All-High recognition. Joe Flood, Don Gilbert, Carl Johnson, and Don Orsalits were first tcamers. The fall season was also State Scholarship time and thirty-four Seniors won varying money grants. Also along academic lines, seven Bennett Seniors achieved national recognition as National Merit Scholarship finalists. They were: Ilarvey Tananbaum, who now had become the leader on the newly instituted All-High Honor Roll, Ronald Kraus, Rosalyn Goldman, Frank Chasen, Tom Wallsten, Bob Potter, and Cary Presant. Sam Johnson, elected Class President for the third time, gained wide-spread attention when he was elected National Hi-Y President. Sam toured the nation and gave much time to this worthy project. Peter Trooboff, became Editor of the BEACON, and following thc vic- tory of the 1959 Yearbook in the Western New York Yearbook Association Contest, a bigger and better Bennett Yearbook was in the making. Bennett's all im- portant Student Council took on new responsibilities and projects under the leadership of President Hanley Horwitz. Winter time was once again victory time, and the Bennett cagers captured the Yale Cup, with Elbert Cootie Blanks, and Don Gilbert reaching All-High stature. Bennett paced by other outstanding Seniors as well, was undefeated in regular season play. Senior achievements were also numerous in the thes- pian arts. Seniors star-studded one of the best Variety Shows in history, Anchors Army. Arno Lascari, Evan Hankin, Sybil Lorbeer, Al Rizzuto, and Bonnie Bur- suck turned in memorable performances. Let us also mention the school play, George Washingtolz Slept Here. Pat Roberts, Sunny Dozoretz, Larry Hankin, Dave Gallahue, and Charles Coleman proved that their his- trionic ability was of the highest caliber. Finally, after four unforgettable years, graduation was before us. After the diplomas were received, we were officially past history. Our stay can best be par- alleled to the four seasons. First we were winterg cold and unknowing, but white with youth. Then we were springg our eyes open and our minds blossoming. Next we were summerg approaching ripeness, and as ambitious as the growing crops. At last we were fallg mellow and experi- enced. Soon, we will again be covered by a winter blanket. We are confident that the knowledge, experience, and respect we learned at Bennett will help us through any gale or maelstrom that we may encounter in our future endeavors. kDavid Manch Senior Class Historian 'L ,, .. x .

Mary Lou has also been President of the Music Club, and Secretary- Treasurcr ofthe Baud and Orchestra for the past two years, in addition to being the Vice-President of the Future Teachers Club. Impressive, hey? But just remember that she hates being late, and of course, homework. Mary Lou says she lovcs camping out and her flute. It is with great reluctance, that we relinquish hcr to you. We only hope you give her your best treatment, because she will give you hers. SONY A DOZORETZ Sunny is truly an apt name for this fair-haired Senior. Tenth in her class, she will receive her Jewclled Honor Pin in June. She is Vice-President of our National Honor Society and Secretary of the National French Honor Society. Her proficiency in speech has led her to win the Mercer Speaking Contest and to become active in the National Thespiau Society, where sl1e is Secretary of the Buffalo Chapter. Business Editor of the 1960 BEACON, office monitor, and cheerleader are but a few of her varied activities. ln addition, she is Cap- tain of the Debate Team and has a lead in this year's school play. Topping her list of likes are witticisms, sports ears, cool people, and water skiing. Among her few dislikes are washing dishes, shrimp, hypocrites, and people who call her Sonya. Wherever she attends college and later continues her pursuit ofa law career, we wish her the best of luek. We know she will bring honor to her alma mater and will succeed in all her endeavors. JUDY EPPERS Hi Judy is a familiar phrase heard in the halls of Bennett when amicable and cheerful Judy Eppers is seen. Leadership, responsibility, sociability, and a sunny disposition have brought Judy to be elected Sophomore and Junior Girls, Treasurer and Senior Girls' Secretary-Treasurer. She also serves Bennett as a Studcnt Council and Executive Council member, Secretary of the Junior Red Cross Service Club, and an active member ol' Senior Girls' Hi-Y. Guest speakers have left our auditorium with a warm feeling toward Bennett because of Judy's poise and pleasantness as our Mistress of Ceremonies. Judy's day is a diet of talking on the telephone, baking cookies, sewing, and playing the piano. Her favorite pastime is cheering our teams to victory. Home Economics at Wittenberg University is Judy's selection for her college education. With her previous success and radiant personality, Judy will surely attain a bright future. 30 FAME DEBRA FOX A lovely girl with excellent poise and a smiling hello for everyone is our own Debbie Fox, better known as Foxie. In addition to being the Vice-President of both her Junior and Senior Classes, Debbie is the Secretary of the Student Council and the enterprising Circulation Co-Editor of the Bennett BEACON. She expects to receive her Gold B at graduation. Debbie's outside activities include President of the Senior Girls lIi-Y., Chap- lain of the Area Ili-Y Council, and hostess to Bennett's Foreign Exchange Student, Marina Valle. Her favorite interest is semi-classical music. Her only dislikes are homework and beatniks. Debbie has been looking forward to a career in nursing and plans to attend Mount Sinai School of Nursing in New York. With her warm personality and cheerful smile, she will bring much sunshine into the lives of others. Good Luck, Debbie. DON GILBERT lllany an opposing team has met defeat as a result of outstanding play by Don Gilbert. As the mainstay of nearly a dozen Bennett football, basketball, and baseball varsity squads, Don received numerous All-lligh and All-Western New York titles as well as honorable mention on the All-American basketball team. . Don also participates in many other activities. Ile has served as a member ofthe Student Coiuxcil, Secretary of the Varsity Club, and Treasurer of both the Junior and Senior Classes. In addition, he is an active member of his church. Pizza, mystery books, and 'vllhe Uutouchablesi' are great favorites of his. On the other hand, Don detests lazy athletes. Ile was a great admirer ofthe late Fred Braun, from whom he feels he has learned a great deal. Don plans to attend Boston University, after which he hopes to pursue a career in sports writing. All of us wish this outstanding Bennettonian continued success in his athletic and vocational pursuits. ROSALYN GOLDMAN Although she is small, no one could hold more bounce, brains, or benevolence than Ronnie Goldman. Her impish smile radiates sunshine to whomever she n'lCCtS- An active member of the Math Club and National Ilonor Society, Ronnie also works on the Major Staff of the BEACON as Senior Tempo Co-Editor. Devotion to her studies has won her a New York State Regents Scholarship and a position as finalist in the National Merit Competition. When asked her pct peeves, Ronnie promptly replied, Hypocrites, Ameri- can History, and especially, interviews. Her list of likes is headed by chrysan- thcmums and anything Chinese. Uncertain about a college, Ronnie favors Radcliffe or Barnard and plans to become a mathematician. Wherever she decides to go, we know others will prosper from the same gratuitous friendliness she has shown to us. 31 HALL OF HANLEY HORWITZ Probably the reason that llanley Horwitz is one of Bennett's best liked students is his sincerity. friendliness, and willingness to work. Moreover, as Sophomore Boys' Treasurer and Senior Class Marshal, he has proven his quali- ties of leadership. :ts l'hlit0r of the inter lligh Student Council Bulletini' and President of the Student Council his fourth year., llanley has served Bennett ably. This versatile student has also been an active member of various clubs, as well as a participant in the Variety Shows. and a member ofthe play and P. A. crews.

SAMUEL C. JOHNSON A terrific personality, a sparkle in his eye. and a knack for leadership' combine all three and you'll have one of Bennelt's most outstanding Seniors, Sam Johnson. lfone were to pick a group of 1900 Bennett graduates most likely to succeed, our own Sammy would undoubtedly be among those heading the list. His many activities include being President of his Sophomore. Junior and Senior Classes, working hard as a member of the PA. crew, and earning three major letters in track. very active in the Ili-Y movement, he has served as President of the Area, State and National Iii-Y Councils. Sam's versatility extends also to public speaking. As a Freshman he won the Slate Elks' Speaking Contest, and, as a Junior, the State American Legion Oratorieal Contest. Among his best likes we find people. jazz and dancing. Ilis only real pecvc is slow drivers. A fter graduation. Sam plans to study medicine at either Boston University or YVest Virginia. We know whatever Sam attempts, success will always be his. DAVID E. MANCH Athletics, literature, public speaking: David Munch. Senior Class Ilistorian, has undertaken them all and succeeded. During his four years at Bennett, Dave has won many honors and rendered tnany services. lle has served as President of the English llonorary Society, Associate Edi- tor ofthe BEACON. and Chaplain of the Student Council. lle has taken part in all Bennett's Variety Shows and plays since he was a Freshman.

This year, Dave earned a major letter in football and llonorable Mention on the All-lligh team. A fter graduating. he will attend the Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations. We wish Dave all possible success in his future. 32 F NANCY PARKER The girl with a smile for everyone is an excellent description of Nancy Parker. She was chosen by the American Field Service as a foreign exchange student to Southern Germany last summer. Nancy, who has been a member of the Student Council for four years, served on the Executive Council in her Sophomore and Junior years. She was elected Vice-President of her Sophomore Class and Senior Prophet. A National Ilonor Society member, Nancy will receive a Gold Honor Pin at graduation. Moreover. she has earned a Silver Service Pin and a Cold B, and has worked on the BEACON Major Staff. People and travel rank high on her list of favorites, and cold feet are her pet pecvc. Nancy hopes to attend Stanford University and plans a nursing career. We know her sparkling personality will brighten thc lives of everyone around her. HARVEY TANANBAUM Few students at Bennett can ever hope to match the academic achieve- ments of Harvey Tananbaum. This year, Harvey elimaxed four years of lead- ing Bennett's Honor Roll, during which time he has maintained a 99.1 average, by being chosen the Senior Class Valedictorian. ln addition to his scholastic feats, Harvey has served as Treasurer of the Latin Honor Society ami is now the President of the National llonor Society. Ile also belongs to the Key Club and the English Honorary Society. ln addi- tion, Harvey is a member of the BEACON Major Stall' and of the Debate Team. Good food and scholarships are among llarvt-y's favorites. His dislikes are mainly getting up in the morning and essay-type tests. Next fall, Harvey hopes to enter Yale University to prepare for a career in science or mathematics. We at Bennett feel certain that he will lind success in all his future endeavors. PETER D. TROOBOFF The BEACON'S shining light this year is a combination of friendliness, initiative, and leadership. Ile is none other than Peter Trooboff, Editor-in- Chief. Because of endless hours ofwork Peter has devoted to our yearbook, he has become known to litany as Mn BEACON. An accomplished musician, Peter plays in the band, orchestra, and All-High band. Active on the Junior Council of NVorld Affairs, hc is chairman ofthe dele- gation to the U.N. model assembly this year. Amiable Pete.-r's dislikes are few. However, people failing to keep abreast of world happenings, and students taking subjects for easy marks are taboo. He is most enthusiastic about Palladin, school. jazz, and girls, especially BEACON girls. Next fall, Peter's address will be Harvard or Columbia where he will enter the held of medicine or the foreign service. ln any event, Peter will always shine brightly. 33 SALUT TORY All of us are aware of the scientific principle by which an object may either be illuminated or cast in shadow, depending upon the relative position of the source of light and the perspective of the viewer's eye. If we were to stop to reflect upon our forthcoming graduation, we would find that in the light of our thoughts it assumes many varied perspectives, each casting a unique shadow in our minds. The darkest shadows are created by the despondent, who foresee graduation as the terminus: the harsh, unyielding barrier which cuts them off from the joys of their high school years. Far more prospective graduates, however, attempt to reach higher in their thinking so as to attain a broader perspective and thereby brighten their minds with hope for the future. If we would only pause for a moment to analyze our thoughts and experiences, we could certainly find many reasons to take such au attitude. Certainly, the undefin- able intellectual and social atmosphere which has pervaded every facet of our high school years cannot he dissolved upon the mere physical absence of Bennett. This is something forever imbedded in our minds: classroom and extracurricular activities, lunch hours, assemhliesg all these have in some small way built our characters or molded our lives. Our years at Bennett have also been marked by a deep motivation on the part of our faculty under the able leadership of our principals. Mr. Farrar and Mr. Miller, and our assistant principals, Mr. Walz and Mr. Raiken, to prepare us for the world ahead, whether the immediate future holds for us a college education or a career. Thus our graduation is not an end in itself, but merely one of the stepping-stones which will direct us toward our goals in life. For these reasons can we look upward toward the future rather than inwardly at the past, and voice a word of thanks to those who have made it so promising. In a few short weeks, we, as alumni, will be better able to examine our situation from a vantage where the panorama of our high school years will be spread out he- fore us. Therefore, let us not fill our thoughts with doubts, but rather with impres- sions which will enable us to feel the presence of Bennett even when we have passed from its halls. Let us hope that it may always be so: with our minds illuminated by our thoughts, let us never harbor any dark shadows, with our eyes toward the future, let us forever reserve a portion of our hearts for memories of our Commencement- Our Beginningjat Bennett High School.

Schoolwork is supplemented by extracurricular activities in which they have the opportunity to demon- strate their leadership as club officers. Continually establishing new records which stand as goals for those who follow, Seniors excel in all fields and still find time to relax. SENIOR TEMPO E IOR TEMPO ACT I Narralor: For ages drama has been used to communicate thoughts and ideas. This play is called Senior Tempof' The name of the school is Bennett lligh. The time is Senior Year. The actors are Senior Girl and Senior Boy. IIcre's Senior Boy busy tulking to Senior Girl, as usual. Let's eavesdrop a little. Selling: Outside Bennett-any morning before school. Senior Boy: I'd rather walk to school than try to park. Senior Girl: I know, I know-Cars cars everywhere, But not a place to park. Senior Boy: Let's hurry! It's getting late. I sure wish they had Driver-Ed. this year. It might have been lots easier to park the car. Senior Girl: Right, and no more cabs on dates either. See you later. I have to stop at the Guidance Oflice to hand in my college applications. UB or not UB- lha! is the question! Books are the . . . steps to success. An old school principal drove it to and from school. Narralar: For the past few minutes we have been listen- ing to the idle gossip of two Senior Students. As I glance down the corridor I see eager teenagers en - barking on a fresh new day. Senior Girl: Ilow do you like my new Booster Button Senior Boy: It seems they have buttons or pins for al- most every activity: Student Council, Key Club, Na- tional Honor Society. In fact you even need one to get on the bus. SeniorGirl: Sec you in history! I have to go work on the new literary magazine, Neusehel's News, better known as the Harbinger. Narrator: Tl1e literary magazine was an excellent idea. It gave the Senior students the chance to display their literary ability OR their lack of it. Also new on the news is the new newspaper, the BEHNEIIDIIIZGH, u friendly rival to the Bigger Better BEACON. With all these magazines and newspapers floating around we certainly should be able to acquire some fragments of knowledge. But, time will tell! I 9 36 A ACT II Narmtor: And so begins another day at school: teachers screaming, salesmen scheming, students failing, P.A.'s wail- ing. Above all this noise I can still hear the Seniors chattering in the hallway. SeniorBoy: Well Sam's done it again. He's been elected President for the third time. Senior Girl: Debby Fox is also making a repeat performance as Veep. Senior Boy: Wasn't Orange and Blue Day a great idea? The school's really going to miss Don G., .loc F., Carl J., Don O., and the boys. Senior Girl: Not only do we have good athletes, but budding geniuses as well. Ilarvey T. and Ronnie K. are running far ahead of the rest of our class scho- lastically. Narrator: fLooking into classroom a few minutes laterj Things have settled down a hit now that the bell's rung. To my left I can hear the Senior History Class in session. This is the momentous day on which Senior Boy is to give his draft of the Senior Constitution. Senior Bay: We the Seniors of Bennett High School, in order to form more nervous teachers, establish chaos, insure low marks, provide for undone homework, pro- mote chcating, and secure the blessings of graduation to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for BHS. Narrator: Across the hall is a mixed up language class. Let's hear what they have to say. St-niorBoy: Bonjour, Mademoiselle. Did you have a hon voyage? Senior Cirl: Veni, vidi, vici. I just hated to say Auf Wiedersehen. Narrator: And so passes another day at school: weekly essays, history term papers, physics lab sheets, and math bellworks. What utter monotony! ! ACT III Narrator: Sehool's out for the day, but more than half of the students refuse to go home. Here's the meeting of the Senior Inter-Club Council. Let's stay to hear part of the Seeretary's minutes. Senior Girl: The meeting of the Senior Inter-Club Coun- cil was called to order by the President last week. A discussion followed the Variety Show report. Senior Boy commented. Rehearsals are over: we've had a success This Variety Show was hy far the best. The Entertainment Committee suggested that we vote on the place to go after the next frat party. Sug- gestions were: Bennett Cafeteria-Thc Lineup La Hacienda-Kosher pizza on Friday night Salad Bowl-Booths available-at present to young adults A motion was made to award the championship foot- ball tcam white carnations. fCheerleader's delight- football team's plightj In order to relieve the strain upon the students brain, it was suggested that homework be elimi- nated from the curriculum. fStudent's glad, Teach- er's madj Narrator: And so it goes until Senior Year ends.

S ln our Freshman class at Burnit High last year, our outstanding leader was Con Dopley. He took part in such varied activities as football, saxophone-playing, and the glorious Student Council. Many other Freshmen made names for themselves by taking part in the Variety Show, entitled, 'The Me-ry Men of Mars'. In a cute number called, 'There is N thing Like a Neuter,' llattie Parris. Dynda Lozoij 1 Hargie Moffmun, Ruzie Sothenberg, and several ot colorful and famous fresh-females danced and sang. In sports, such stars as Sehnary Geider, lloon M er, Bave Dutler, Lim Jonergan, Bobert Raker, Mel h- tz, er t. rt Dullins received Major letters: Dellie Zow was mana er, This year, Burnit's Sophomore class is really ma i itself heard.

T ogetbernesg the .folblzromore keynote, or so it appears FRE I-IME S It all started one dreary September morning, a few short months ago, I was sitting in my Iirst hour study hall, counting rain drops as they splashed on the window pane. Suddenly my idle thoughts were interrupted by a strange feeling that I was being observed. As my eyes scanned the long, quiet room, they were attracted to the P.A. speaker hanging on the wall. I was startled to see that the once oold, inanimate box was warmly look- ing down at me with a melancholy smile. There wall, the little speaker looked the same as it had on thc always looked, yet there was something new-a flame of life deep inside the metal and wood. As I gazed at it, I thought perhaps the soul oi the ob- ject had been breathed into it by my own imagination. But the more I looked at it, the more I was touched by We Freshmen start out each new day, i15 sadness, Whether Bkiei be blue OI' gray, How would you like to be a P.A.? I asked yself.

They're a great class. Then my friend, thc P.A., began to tell me l that Why do you think he wants to sec us? his tired old eyes had seen It certainly was an sive story the Story 0 the Freshmen While the teacher's away, the class will play. pres- How attentively they listen! Remembering the year gone hy, the P.A. decided to tell me of one of his most interesting experiences. One time, upon switching to the gym, he emitted a great shriek-scrawny Freshmen were vainly trying to do push-ups. After the hair raising cry, there remained but one small group of sturdy Freshmen on the gym floor. They were so engrossed in conversation, that they hadn't heard the P.A.'s shriek. Being of a very curious nature himself, the P.A. decided to listen in: Do you think UHL get a MAJOR letter in basket- ball? I'm not worrying about my uniform at any rate. CHAFETZ perfectly. How are you planning on showing the coach what a great player you would make? Well, I'll STORM onto the floor, CANTOR about the gym and show him how ACKERately I can shoot. The P.A. soon became weary of this small talk and decided to go to the football field for some real action. But, alas, all his delicate ears could pick up was the wishful chatter of the Freshmen benchwarmers who were destined to ride the bench for the rest of the year. He heard the booming voice of Harvey Mandelcorn and Co. ordering Harold Wolkind to fetch an ice cream COHN for him. Being only human CU, the P.A. soon tired of all this and gave up athletics for the day. ev To illustrate the fact that he was not interested only in sports, my friend, the P.A., went on to tell me of his intellectual experiences. Why only last week, he said, I spent the entire day listening to the activities in the library. However, he neglected to mention the fact that all he did there was watch the pretty Freshman girls stroll by. The P.A. is really quite bright, though. He even bothered to in- quire about the top.Freshmen on the Honor Roll. Heading the list were: Ellen Weinstein, Robert Raymond, Wendy Lichtxnan, Hedda Beckman, Brian Silverstein and George Olshevsky. The P.A.'s interests also covered poetry. He listened closely as a Freshman recited: Now I lay me down to sleep, With my homework in a heap, If I die before I wake, I have but four requests to make: Lay my math book at my side, Tell my teacher I have died, I will my equation to Ellen Weinstein, Who may become another Einstein. In the class of German I JelTrey's work is always done, So if by dawn, I am not here, Will he do my work for mir? After listening to the wonderful Freshmen poetry, the P.A. began to speak. Lacking an audience, the P.A. started thinking. Why can't I be at the top of the Freshman Honor Roll? I'm a Freshman too? So, the P.A. decided that he would remain in semi- retirement for awhile and really hit the hooks. Our P.A. study? Not for long, I het. Anyhow, I think that I had better leave and go to lunch. Do you think she'll go with me? The P.A. then assumed a dreamy pose and said that he has also seen many gay times after school hours, in addition to those while school is in session. All work and no play makes any P.A. sound off a dull way, he said to me. The first occasion this year was the Freshman F rolie. It was a great success. I know that everyone that attended had a wonderful time. Of course the Bennett Variety Show, Anchors Aweigll, was one of the biggest nights of the year for many of the Freshmen. Thirteen vivacious Freshmen girls exhibited their talents to the school body. These beauties did a French 'Can-Can' in a never-to-he-fon gotten manner. The act inspired many plaudits for the Freshmen Class, which is still doubtful about claiming them. Then the P.A. went on to say that there were many other Freshmen who added to the quality of the show, both on stage and behind the scenes. Harriet Parker performed an interpretive Latin dance that in any language can be interpreted as gi-eat. Another agile Freshman is Sandra Rothen- berger, who performed an amazing acrobatic act. You see, the P.A. said, I never have a chance to be bored with all the talented, energetic Freshmen around. ul' T ' IQ. 54, ,L QQ f 1 ' f' Q TL ' P 125 Rf Tl' Z 1- ': gi-.. , - . svn . 'E E-. li.

Among these are such events as assembly programs, the variety show, and the annual play. Cultural enrichment is provided by the pres- ence of a foreign exchange student. In addition to the aforementioned, such features as the recognition of our stage crew, and the publication ofthe annual literary con- test are included in this section.

BENNETT'S h FOREIGN STUDENT MARINA VALLE The school bell rings and out of homeroom 429 comes Marina Valle, Bennetfs foreign student from Torino, Italy. Upon meeting her we are at once impressed by her friendly, outgoing manner and her lovely smile. As we wander through the halls with her, much can he learned. She will tell us that English was difficult at lirst but that she now finds it much easier. A favorite hobby of hers is eating! American food is just wonderful, she says with her brown eyes all aglow. One particular love is hot dogs. I wonder if il's cheaper in Italy? You can tell slie's been eating her pizza! Her family life has taken a great change, for in Italy she was an only child. Now, living with Debby F ox and her three brothers, parents, grandfather and dog, Max, life seems to bc on a much larger scale. Marina, however, has adjusted admirably and has become a regular cog in the F ox wheel. Marina is an American Field Service student, the second one to attend Bennett. We all hope that she has enjoyed us as we have her. Thank you for all you've taught us, Marina, and may you carry back to Italy many pleasant memories of your year at Bennett.

Witli this musical introduction, five rollicking sailors em- barked on a voyage to realize their ambition of visiting far- away places. As fast as the eurlain could open. the seamen were transported to the musical splendors of magnilicent Latin America. lligliligliting this stop were enchanting inter- pretations of the melodies of our neighbors to the South. Es- pecially to be noted was a lilting dance number hy ltita and Larry Meyers. Continent-hopping to France, the adventurers enjoyed u humorous pantomime by David Kalish and Jon Jacobs that set the mood for a visit to Gay Paris. Among thc featured performers in this setting were three adorable French poodles. Travelling with amazing rapidity to the opposite side of the world, they found themselves entertained by the mystical strains of Oriental music. Acrohatie feats were performed by two coolies-known to many as Sandra Rothenberger and Arno Lascari. Cuban Capers were the next to greet the sailors' eyes, as Felicidad Wood sang and Wendy' Pollack and Mike De Figlia danced to Wl1o's Got the Pain . As the sailors returned to their home port, they were treat- ed with a review of Ameriean music. The American tour cul- minated in a splendifernus parade of beauty as a group of lovely young belies participated in a Miss Universe Pageant. As a fitting climax, the 22nd Annual Variety Show, with a sellout crowd of thoroughly pleased llenuettonians present, ended with a real bang Cfrom Director Kublitz's six-shooterj.

This cry was the culmination of months of work which preceded the presentation of this year's three act play, Kaufman and Hart's hilarious comedy George Washington Slept Here. However, as one of the characters in the play declares, George Washington never slept hereg it was Benedict Arnold! Nevertheless, the production was one of the most suc- cessful ever presented, mainly through the efforts of Bennettfs own producer-director, Mr. Daniel M. Ku- blitz. A presentation of this sort, however, is not a one man job. The cast, stage crew, and business staff all played vital parts, and the play itself was sponsored by the Bennett Community Association. i'You knows, nearly killed Mama onceg they stopped me -V just ni tune.

You thief, you crook, you gqniff . . . Among the highlights of the past year, the annua' BEACON Assembly will long be remembered as one o the most outstanding. In the summer of 1959, severa enterprising BEACON Staff members began the pro digious effort of adapting the Broadway hit Dann Yankees into the musical production Darn Beaconf Tryouts were held early in September and the cas was selected. The entire BEACON Staff devoted itsel i I f to the assiduous preparation necessary for the polished performance desired by attending rehearsals three dayi a week. ' As the curtain rose on the play, the exciting story o Joe Boyd and his dealings with the devil, Mr. Apple K f jack, and his accomplice, Fashiouella, unfolded. Hoping to reassume the editorship of the BEACON, Joe wa 5 transformed into the youthful Diek Deadline, who in- spired the melancholy staff of Beaconiks into success fully putting out a bigger and better yearbook. Th BEACON Staff hopes that the members of the audienc enjoyed this production as much as did those who pr sented it to them. Dick, be a hood boy! 142 We've gotta sell BEACONS . . . n A BACKST GE This year has been an exciting one for the stage crew. The auditorium and the stage were painted blue-slip blue, and a new P.A. system was installed. The stage crew engaged in an all-out battle against cutting through the auditorium. Even as this year draws to a close, many of you are still rewarded with a melodious, Hey you, no trespassing! Stage managers, Dan Fleysher and Steve Spatz along with faculty director, Mr. Kuhlitz, were in charge of the stage this year. They were assisted by a capable and spirited crew of nine male students and Ellen Fleysher. We find that the jobs of these pupils ranged from ily- man to sound technician, and from carpenter to stenog- rapher. Ours is a fairly large stage crew to work with, but every man fand Ellenl is needed. It is generally known throughout the school Qor should bej that the stage crew is the essence of perfection and harmony. It is this spirit that throughout the year carries the crew through such tasks as holding flowers for faculty advisors and hor- rowingn props for the school play and variety show from nearby merchants. Few people realize the work the stage crew does. Be- sides impressing passing grls, eating lunch and skipping gym class, the l1ard working members build scenery, play records, adjust the sound and lighting effects, and provide a sympathetic ear for all who have butterflies or who feel they were badly received. Let's follow the stage crew's activities on the average assembly morning. All set up by 8:30g Mr. Kublitz takes down names of prayer reader, etc., and barks some orders no one hears.

While there is a Senior literary quarterly, we feel that the abilities of a great portion of the student body are not being recognized. For this reason we have sponsored this year, as in others, the BEACON Literary Contest. The most outstanding efforts in the fields of poetry, essay, and short story are to be found in this section. Ermy An overwhelming response of fine essays made it digicult to select one which was superior to the rest. Therefore, printed be- low and on the following page are three which we considered outstanding for their sgfk, reflecliwness, and humor, in addition lo their literary value. ON CLERKS p Shopping holds a fascination for me, as I imagine it does for most teen-age girls, but perhaps my reason is somewhat different from that of the average person. I am intrigued by the salesclerks. Has one ever stopped to consider the numerous approaches they use? The male clerks frequently slither up and with a wink of the eye declare, My, you show off those shoes well! Will you have two or three pairs? Others will remark, That is just right for a young woman-conservative. Then, upon learning it is for a grade school daughter, they will change to, It's youth- ful looking! Don't you think so? Even more annoying is the clerk who has the parcel wrapped and tied before one says she will take it, or who tries to sell the customer clothes that would fit and look better on one's Saint Bernard. There is a contrast, also, between the clerk who grabs every customer entering her department, throws a number at ber and is off, and the one who is constantly breathing down the patron's neck. This second type's counterpart is the one who gushes over anything one looks at from mink stoles to shoe- laces. Her sales pitch goes something like this: It's made for you. It certainly is! Goodness, you are a lucky girl to be able to find such a perfect style and color. You do show off your clothes well. Yes, indeed. It's lovely, just lovely. Cash or charge? Some clerks find the reverse treatment most effectiv e, particularly on the younger set, which generally insis upon being obstinate. No. That is not right for you. bags in the back. The shoulders are too wide. Your co t t plexion is too dark for that color. Long skirts are not in style this year.-You say that you will take it? Don't get me wrong. The more experienced sho per is also often fooled, but for a different reason. S C sensibly figures, Hmmm, there must be some reas n she doesn't want me to buy this. Shc probably is savi it for one of her relatives. I'll take it. 'There are clerks who talk so incessantly that one fe like shoving the garments in their mouths, others so lent one wonders if they are awake-friendly clerks, u 5 5 friendly clerks, indifferent clerks, and aggressive clerks. The worst kind, however, in my opinion, is the sweet, little old lady. She tells you, blinking back a tear, how lucky you are to be alive and how glad you should hew pay the few extra dollars her product costs. Her story a sad one and the hardest to resist. ,o is Movies, dances, and parties are pleasant forms of en- tertainment, but if you enjoy meeting many kinds c people, an afternoon of shopping through departme stores is the ideal pastime. Let me warn you, howeve do not carry your charge plate or too much money. T stores are hiring sweet, little old ladies by the dozen. Sandro Monque lf t 1 'I TRIALS OF AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER RETRIBUTION For many years, I have enjoyed attending football games each fall, but this year was decidedly different. The contests suddenly became nightmares of discom- fort, thoroughly discouraging to the most rabid enthu- siast. My only recollection of these miserable afternoons is a dim hope that they would end quickly. Nothing can do more to dampen one's spirit than rain, especially a cold, drizzling rain. How well I remem- ber being thoroughly soaked as I sat unprotected from the driving spray. Even the realization that the players were worse off than I failed to comfort me. They're only more foolish than I for coming, I thought. The sight of the band wading through the mud on the field as the drizzle became a downpour was enough to sadden anyone. Heavy clothing can easily dispel the discomfort caused by low temperatures, but it is useless against the bone-chilling variety caused by cold concrete and colder seats. Winter gloves, parkas, and blankets have no ef- fect on it. The obvious remedy would seem to be a hot drink, but this can only help one temporarily. Soon the cold returns to the body, only now it seems worse. When the numbness reaches its peak, the most lethargic spec- tator must cheer vehemently to keep from freezing completely. Little, if any, relief from the previous hardships can be obtained hy visiting the refreshment booths beneath the seats of the stadium. Although the wind is shut out, dampness effectively holds one in a state of chill. In ad- dition, the system of waiting on customers has been so fiendishly devised that no matter where one stands in line, he is always served last. If the desired item is fi- nally procured, one's friends usually benefit most from it. The ultimate in frustration is reached through the efforts of the people surrounding him. At least one sten- torian-voiced individual is sitting nearby, and his shat- tering cries are enough to disconcert anyone. Next comes the exuberant fellow whose gleeful slaps on the back can easily ruin a body already weakened by the cold weather. Migrant fans are dangerous, too, for in the course of their trips to and from their seats, they step on many a frozen toe. They also have an interesting habit of slipping so that they fall on the most unhappy on- looker. The confetti-thrower, usually a very bothersome pest, causes no trouble today, for no one cares if he showers everyone with paper. Besides, his confetti may help one retain precious heat. About the only thing one could gain from an after- noon such as I have described is a bad cold. However, I no longer worry about any such bad effects. I have found a preventative agent that staves off all noxious results. Checkers, anyone? Gerald Cohen Arise teenagers! The ever-looked-for time of retribu- tion is near at hand. For a few of us it has already ar- rivedg but for others compensation for the past is not far off. Eagerly some wait for it, while others wait with cold, hard, sadistic thoughts. No matter how each teen- ager waits, almost everyone entertains some thoughts of getting even with the patronizing attitudes of the ma- jority of adults met during early childhood. What teenager can safely say that he never had his cheeks pinched? What teenager can safely say that he never had his head patted by some elderly person? What teenager can safely say that he was never told to give a big hug and kiss goodnight to some friend of the family? Every teenager who has had an average more-or-less normal childhood will have to answer yes to at least one of these and probably to more. Many of these atrocities I have mentioned were made more acute under various circumstances. Think back. Remember when you met a number of your parent's friends or your relatives and not just one would pinch your cheek, but probably most of them, until your cheeks felt as if they had been hit? Remember when your parents made you comb your hair before you met some guests? Almost always one of them would pat you on the head, messing your hair, and then calling you such a nice well-behaved child. The idea of putting grease or something on your head must have entered more than one of your minds. Think of the times when you were told to give someone a big hug and kiss good- night. Sometimes it would turn out that the man had a mustache or perhaps needed a shave. Then you would have to suffer the indignity of kissing what amounted to pins and needles. Other times you might have had to hug and kiss a person who thought he was Hercules or a woman, weaker than her husband, who wanted to show someone how strong she was. This would lead to your being crushed until you could hardly breathe. Throughout all these tortures you were told to smile and act politely. It seems surprisingly fortunate that the insanity rate is not higher because of these early frustrations. Now the longed for time of revenge is near. While you only had to suffer these indignities for about ten years, you now have somewhere around forty years to get even. Make each opportunity count. Remember, you must hand this tradition of retribution on to the next generation. Russell Nisengani Short ,ftory THE DEAD LETTER The week of the reunion of the Ninety-Sixth Squad- ron of the Eighth Air Force had arrived. Jim Nelson, a radio technician residing in Dallas, Texas realized that this reunion of his squadron was being held the same time as the Mardi Gras. For some time, Nelson had longed to see this festive celebration, so, deciding that Louisiana wasn't too distant from Chicago, he took advantage of this opportunity. He managed to obtain a seat on a direct flight to New Orleans, because of a cancellation, and arrived there as the festivity was at its peak. Boy, what excitement! was his exclamation as he joined the celebration. Anx- iously, as if not to miss a single view, he gazed about and noticed the magnificent floats, people dressed up as clowns and magicians, and participants with such huge masks that one wondered how they managed to keep their own heads erect! Suddenly, amidst the shoving and pushing, Nelson was hastily handed a letter by a person dressed as a devil with the request, Mail it in Chicago. Dazzled, Nelson examined the letter in his hand, but when he looked up, the unknown man was gone. After medi- tating a while, he decided this wasn't going to ruin a momentous day, so joyously he joined the excitement. Suddenly, he remembered he had to catch the 5:45 plane and, glancing at his watch, he noted that it was already five o'clock. As quickly as he could, Nelson seurried to his hotel room, packed, checked out, jumped into a taxi parked at the curb, and directed, To the airport, and hurry, please! He arrived at the spacious building just ten minutes before his flight departure. After checking his baggage, Nelson hurried to Gate Four and on to the majestic airplane. Once seated, he finally had time to relax. Slowly, thc first two engines started, followed by the third and fourth, and forward went the plane into the endless blue sky. All at once, Nelson remembered the mysterious let- ter handed to him at New Orleans and, taking it from his pocket, noticed to his amazement that it was ad- dressed to the Ninety-Sixth Air Squadron, in care of Mr. Phil Harris, Hotel Drake, Chicago, Illinois. This was the same reunion he was attending. Phil was the elected chairman. What a coincidence! he thought. I'll give it to Phil personally when I meet him. After some time, the powerful plane landed on the long Chicago runway and slowly came to a halt. The passengers, one by one, departed from the plane and continued on to a small section of the main building to acquire their baggage. Nelson, after doing this, walked outside and was confronted by a line of cabs. He climbed into one and asked to be taken to the Hotel Drake. l ! f Contributions to the short story division mere both uu- merous and well-wrillen. From among the enlries ue lave selecled one which uefind represenlative of the high q ily of the stories submitted. The Dead Leiter , by al- ck Daren, is to be noled for its unusual and eerie conflus on. After a long scenic ride, the taxi pulled up to a tall building. Nelson paid the fare and entered the hotel. He checked in, went up to the fifth floor by elevator, and entered his room. X At seven o'clock, after napping and eating his d' er, Nelson ventured into the Vulcan Room, the assi ed meeting place. Upon entering, lie heard a familiar voice declare, Why, it's .lim Nelson! I'Iow're ya doin' ,li Not recognizing this man at first, he suddenly ral- ized it was Larry Rodgers, his old flying buddy. -gn Hi, Larry! Boy, have you changed! Nelson then made the rounds, meeting his old pals and hearing the many dif- ferent ways each had continued life. At about nine o'clock, ,lim Nelson and his reunited buddies sat down to enjoy a game of cards. N Meanwhile, downstairs, the bartender, talking to his assistant, said, Give 'em the cheapest stuff, but chirge top prices. They'll be so drunk they won't even k the difference! I have two pairs. OW A full house beats you! The activity in the Vulcan Room was going strong. Suddehly Nelson rememb red thc letter addressed to Mr. Phil Ilarris handed to at the Mardi Gras. Oh Phil, I must tell you. While I was at the M' Gras, someone gave me this lellter addressed to yo don't know who it was, just someone dressed devil. Phil took the letter andjanxiously opened it Why, it's from Pete Marshall! He says that I sorry he can't make it, but he hopes we all live it p. What is this? A fifty dollar hill! Ile always was a erous guy. Following Pete's request, they contin playing poker and drinking. Later in the evening, when the bartender came the bill, Phil handed him the lfifty-dollar bill say Keep the change, and continued playing. The tender then went downstairs and immediately put money into the cash register. A short while later, the men decided they had bei im rdi . I a e's en- ed 'th gs ar- he ICI' go to bed. After all, it :ms two !o'clock in the morning! u't As they were leaving, one of the men queried, Was Pete Marshall killed in combat imver Germany? Suddenly one of the others ericlaimed, You're right! He was in the plane behind mei Butil' .lust at that minute, the letter in Phil Harris' hand droppe to the floor and burst into flames. !Also, downstairs, w en the bartender opened tl1e cash iegister, he noticed the fifty dollar bill-in ashes. Was that laughter they hear in the background? Jack Dc T971 Poehfy From llze nbunrlanee affine pnelry submilled, four poems represenling a variety of llll'l7l0 and llmuglil have been cho- sen. Especially lo be commended is the exeellenl ego:-I of Peter Ferrlzina, a senior. Dc-serving equal meril are llie poems of Carol Perlmuler, Joel Beck, and William Clock. THE OLD HOUSE For centuries I have stood, With open arms for all, But now the plaster erumblcs From my slowly sagging wall. Now lonely and forgotten I watch the world go by, Wondering how I'll meet my fate, And when Pm going to die. But though I may be ancient, I've many a tale to tell Of all the little creatures Which did inside me dwell. People say I'm haunted As they quickly pass me hy, llut those ghostly lights are only The lowly firelly. And so my life is happy, Though people never care, For all my friends are animals- The mouse, the hut, the hare. William Clock SOUNDS OF ALL NATURE The wind in the willows, the breeze in the trees The sounds of all nature call unto me. The roar ofthe ocean, the howl of the sea, The moaning and groaning ofa windhlown tree. The heating of rain on the soft forest floor, The cries of the birds as upward they soar. The mournful howling of a lonely dog, The playful squealing of ll newborn hog. The cry of the shewolf on a cold Winters night Cold and hungry and shaking witl1 fright. We' F or tl best pay heed to these beautiful songs, as we but hear them, ere they are gone. Joel Beck PERCHANCE TO DREAM When awake, our minds must face Stark cold reality, true But-in sleep-dreams create New worlds with a troubleless view. Carol Perlmuler THE DUEL What is this thing I feel tonight Which has my mind and soul in plight. On this air so cold and still Tonight I die, or else I kill. I hear the wincl's weird refrain., The flash of light, the rushing rain. The tempo surging like the tide These morbid thoughts I try to hide. A force of conflict deep within Will I lose, or will I win? I clear my head and draw my breath, I've dueled with fate and cheated death. Peter F erraina ,f '?lx 5 I A In ww-'IMI ACTIVITIES N be divided into two categories-the for- E DUCATIO may mal and informal. Constituting the formal are academic en- deavors. The informal may be described as including the extra- curricular activities offered to the students. At Bennett High School, we are indeed 'Fortunate in the variety of excellent or- ganizations which are open to the student body. These activi- ties include BEACON, honor societies, service organizations, academic clubs, music groups, special interest clubs, and Hi-Y's. I ddition to these the work of Student Council, school publi- n a , cations, and monitors is described in this section. STUDE T CO IL On October 23, 1959, reflections of bright orange navy blue flashed proudly in the halls of our school. dents from every homeroom write these colors in ob' ance of Bennctt's Iirst annual'Orange and Blue Day. This plan, like so many others designed to pro school spirit, was a product of the ingenuity and e. of Bennett High School's student government- Sludcnl Council. 1 Another program in which we take even greater is the American Field Scrvicel Foreign Exchange dent Program. Costing about 351200, this plan not entitles us to receive u foreign student for one year also allows us to send some eligible Benuettonian distant land during the summer.

From Italy, we focus our attention to the other side ol' the worldgto Korea, where for four years, the Slu- dent Council has been supporting a sixteen year old Korean lJoy through the Foster Parents' Plan. Each month Kim Suh l.leng corresponds with us and express- es his gratitude for the generous gifts and thoughts that we send to him. As Christmas draws near, the representatives from all sixty-one homerooms devote their greatest effort to our annual charity drive, by which money is raised and divided among worthy organizations devoted to the aid of the handicapped. The community is indebted to Ben- net for its support in the Christmas Charities Drive, and the students are pleased with this opportunity to express their holiday benevolence by donating to these societies. Despite the fact that our Sludent Council is playing an important part in affairs of foreign nations and the community, we cannot overlook its numerous accom- plishments here in school. Because neater appearance influences public relations and encourages good study habits in school, the Better Dress Campaign was originated by Dr. Manch and car- ried out by the Council. National recognition was gained for our part in the support of this campaign and the best dressed boy and girl were each awarded a live dollar gift certificate. Included in their other yearly activities is the sale of the American Field Service Cook Books, which contain recipes from the four corners of the world. Bennett sweatshirts, and a Foreign Exchange Student Dance are additional projects sponsored by the Council to help in securing funds for the A. F. S. Program. This year's ollicers and members have succeeded in completing another year of invaluable service to the school, community, and nation. The Slurlenl Council has advanced Bennett one more rung on the ladder of broth- erhood through aervice. co-operation, and friendship. 11312, fm D ,., x For the apparel oft proclaims the man . . .

Farrar Chap- ter of lhe Ablional Honor Society consists of thirty-five Senior members, representing a graduating class of six hundred. Thus the task of the council of teachers which elects new members is very difficult. The National Honor SOCi0l.Y meets twice a month where the keynote is educational programs to benefit the membersg however, as it is dedicated to the purpose of serving our school, the Society has several projects which aid the students of Bennett. T Chief among these is the tutorial service to assist those who need additional instruction in a parti subject. Other undertakings include the Student ployment Bureau and the prospective Freshman lar Ill- uid- ance Program, which involves the visiting of several grammar schools. This organization is also responsible for the Honor, Induction, and Recognition Assemblies. The National Honor Sociely, in its second year, has successfully undertaken an ambitious program of serv- ice to the individual member and to the school.

SCHOOL P BLICATIONS xiw l IH 11' ocsoaas Bennettonian Although Bennett offers an excellent course in jour- nalism, a student has an opportunity to gain further experience in writing, and to test his capacity in this field by working on the staff of Bennett's recently estab- lished newspaper-the Benneiloninn. Besides informing the student body of important events, it tends to teach its members a swifter, more efficient means of news- paper co-ordination. The Bennctton ian was Grst introduced in January 1959 as a duplicated two-page bulletin and posted on all bul- letin boards of the school. The original staff consisted of only four members! This year it was printed by the proc- css of photo-offset and was sold to and read by practi- cally all Bennettonians. As a result, 1960 saw a staff of more than thirty-five students working towards the pub- lication of eight informative and successful editions. V, -2. Xa if-rf XXXXXX G E0 RG E Harbinger The newest member to the trilogy of Bennett publi- cations is the Harbinger, the Senior literary magazine. Written, arranged, and assembled by the pupils of Mrs. Neuschel's English IV classes, it contains a variety of prose and poetry. Material is chosen hy a Board of Edi- tors, elected by each of the four classes. Every student submits the best of his weekly themes for selection and the most original essays and poems, whose subjects range from satires to literary criticisms, are retyped into publication form. During the sales campaign every class member was asked to pay in advance for three 5.25 copies which be or she could then resell to Underclassmen. The reception to the Harbinger has been overwhelming and it is hoped that this magazine will serve as an inspiration for con- tinual improvement of English composition standards at Bennett. Row I: D.

Included in their reg- ular activities were posting vital messages on the front lawn bulletin board, distributing basketball and football programs, and printing a bi-weekly summary of their plans and accomplishments. Each year these thirty- eight members collect old clothes on Bundle Day for underprivileged families in the community. An addition to their activities this year was the re- sponsibility of posting coming events on a glass encased bulletin board donated by the Class of 1959 and located outside the office. The award winning New York State Key Club publication, the Empire Key is another project of the Key Club. JUNIOR COUNCIL ON WORLD AFFAIRS Participation in the Model United Nations is one of the outstanding accomplishments of this current events organization. This year its members, representing the United States, submitted and passed many worthwhile resolutions. Students recommended by Social Studies teachers, are eligible to join the council, which functions as an honor society. The bi-monthly programs of the Junior Council offering speakers, slides, movies, and, of course, panel discussions which deal with national and foreign affairs, are very stimulating. An Inter-High School Council composed of represent- atives from each school club, meets monthly to exchange ideas on educational activities. Thus the club's aim of preparing our future citizens to assume their responsi- bilities intelligently is admirably achieved. HO OR SOCIETI Novel seminars, outstanding speakers, and p actice work for College Board Examinations highlight t is or- ganization's activities. Composed of Sophomore lun- iors, and Seniors, the society requires a 90'Zy nglish average for membership. The monthly progra of a competitive nature such as spelldowns, voca ulary downs, and title and author quizzes not only p ovide entertainment, but also test the skill of each m mber. The prizes, a dictionary or thesaurus, are very ben ficial. The English Honorary Societjfs primary aim of e pha- sizing the beauty and versatility of our language is cer- tainly attained by these varied functions. N LATIN HONOR SOCIETY On the third Thursday of each month, Roo 379 echoes with the sound of a Latin Honor Society mjlrting. The diversified programs consist of charades, ski picting famous scenes in Roman history, speechfd de- livered by the members on outstanding Roman le and games designed to supplement both Englis Latin vocabulary.

Various lectures, movies, and discussions are directed toward the interests of each student. A Christmas party, a T.V. program and a Spring picnic complete the activities of this enthusiastic group. SCIENCE CLUB Each member of the Science Club is required to enter a project in the Western New York Science Congress. The weekly programs include guided tours and guest speakers. Discussing current science events is another of t.l1e worth-while club projects.

Tours of area plants, professional demonstrations, and club experiments are just a few of the programs included in the organization's curriculum. DEBATE CLUB Under capable direction, Bennett's Debate Society has done a great deal to promote an interest in the art of discussion and reasoning.

Each home- room elects a representative to the Council, which per- forms an important service both to the school and the community. In addition to the collection of funds, the Council correlates Junior Red Cross Service activities as directed by the National Red Cross. The club's success has increased every year, as can easily be realized by noting that the results of each an- nual drive are better than the previous one. Yearly, as the school goal for this drive increases, so do the dona- tions of the students to meet it. It is hoped by all mem- bers of this organization that the tradition of a large contribution from Bennett High School to the Red Cross will remain at our school forever. JUNIOR RED CROSS SERVICE CLUB Continual service at Red Cross Headquarters and aid- ing all the area hospitals head the list of outstanding ef- forts of this fine club. Among their various activities are sewing leper bandages, making favors and jokebooks for ill children and knitting afghans for many patients of the Veterans' Hospital. In addition to these worthwhile and painstaking measures, four members, weekly, prepare bottles of sa- line solution for transfusions. This service is of vital assistance to the Red Cross. The members are at the call of the Red Cross in any emergency and in such a crisis help them in every possible way. The eager mem- bers of the Junior Red Cross Service Club also present an annual assembly to kick-off the Red Cross' financial appeal to the school's student body. SERVICE CL B BOYS' CIVIL DEFENSE CLUB Insuring fellow students' safety as well as other m m bers of the community is the main objective of this c b Before membership is granted to a student, he es through a training program which gives him many se ful tips on civil defense.

' he club also participates in all of Bennett's air raid dr' ls giving the members excellent practice for future ci il defense work.

Attending regular classes in room 4-99, the members PRN SOLW fmany ofwhom play for the City-Wide Bandj are super- vised by Mr. Frank Nowak, Chairman of the Music Department. With the many performances and duties that the Bennell Band performs, it is easy to see why it is the pulse beat of the school. ' 1 2 g .Che f i s 1 P. . 1 .. 1 -2,9-5 ' 5 . s it as . e . Q . E.

WRIGHT ORCHESTRA During the school year, there are three assemblies at which the Orchestra may display its fine talent to the students-Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. This year the Bennett Orchestra was chosen to participate in the Spring Music Festival and the school play in April. Their fine ability is displayed by the ease with which they furnish suitable backgrounds for the collection of songs sung by the chorus. The synchronization of rhythm, co-ordination of tones, and general reproduction of harmony blend to- gether to produce the fine melodies and renditions chosen by the Orchestra for their presentations. Because of the excellent variety of instruments, and their un- ceasing enthusiasm, it is no wonder that it is one of the best equipped and best sounding high school orchestras in Western New York.

MUSIC CLUB Three years ago, one of Bennett's most active organi- zations, the Music Club, was formed. Its purpose is to stimulate its members to further their knowledge of their individual instruments and to supplement their information about the history of music. In the true spirit of co-operation, each member aids another by helping him to increase his proficiency in arranging or playing musical selections. Under the influence of this harmonious atmosphere many of Bennett's trios, quartets, and various other instrumental and vocal groups have been organized. The varied programs offer the members an oppor- tunity to hear authoritative speakers on all phases of music from its fundamentals to the numerous openings if offers in musical careers. As a result, the club's aim of enriching musical culture at Bennett has been fulfilled. 1960 BEACON JOR STAFF Pete Let us take a stroll down the first flloor corridor to the BEACON Room 181, any seventh hour. lf we are fortunate, we may find three or four of the twenty-six Major Staff members there. At first glance it would appear as if something were wrong-WHERE ARE THOSE BEACON PEOPLE? Upon further inquiry we may find that several are in the Rhodes Library captioning pictures, typing circulation sheets, proofreading, or writing articles for their columns. Others may be discovered in the cafeteria, swimming pool, or front hall, arranging action pictures to enliven the yearbook. Eventually, all are accounted for-hard at work on the 1960 BEACON. To help relieve the strain of a five hour a week schedule, the major Staff plans several informal parties during the year. To BEACON Staff members it is evident that all work and no play will make a dull BEACON, but they also know that the job of publishing Western New York's top yearbook entails much effort on their part in a spirit of teamwork and cooperation.

This statement is taken from the minutes of the first meeting of the Bennett Community Associa- tion. On a cold February night in 1954, former superin- tendent of schools, Palmer L. Ewing, held a hearing at Bennett concerning the school budget. He asked the group present, about one hundred parents, if they were an organized parent-teacher group. They weren't, but many of them expressed their desire and the need for such an organization. Former principal, Emmons B. Farrar, circulated a petition and later called a meeting. This assemblage took place on March 18, 1954, in the Bennett library, and it was here that the council ol' parents elected tem- porary officers. The minutes from this meeting are miss- ing, but it is known that those present agreed on student participation. teacher representation. and temporary committees. The objectives of this spirited group can be found in the constitution. They are as follows: The promotion of youth in thc home, school and community, the secur- ing of adequate laws for the care and protection of youth, and the encouragement of a closer relationship of home and school, and of parents and teachers in order to cooperate in thc guidance of youth. From the begin- ning this ambitions organization has been concerned with enriching the lives of our school's many students. It still believes in this principle. Since its inception, the Bennett Comnumily Associalion has provided many benefits for Bennett. Among them President Kern speaks at a Bennett assembly. President ....... lst Tice-President . . . 2nd Vice-President . , 3rd Vice-President . . Parents and teachers dig in at Association dinner. are: the student insurance program, the athletic fund, supported by the sale of booster buttons, and the schol- arship awards, given to the boy ami girl rendering out- standing servicc to the school and community. Each year the Association also selects a school improvement project, which this year featured the purchasing ofa heavy duty snow plow for the maintenance crew. Through these past six years the Community Associ- ation's membership has grown considerably. Today more and more of our community's parents, teachers and friends recognize thc need for this group and will- ingly serve it as oflicers and committee members. Bennett lligh School congratulates and thanks its Community Association for the outstanding efforts it has performed on our behalf. We hope that their invalu- able work will continue to assist the proper functioning of our school. OFFICERS 1959-1960 . . Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Kern . . . . . . Dr. and Mrs. Elmer Milt-h . .

Aside from active ' ' t' in these sports, there is also support given partlclpa lon by enthusiastic student spectators who cheer our victori- ' ' I t n ous teams on to championships and our valiant ath e es o . . . - d to All-High recognition. Completing the well rounde sports picture are the participation in the after-school sports and cheerleading by Bennetts girls. ALL-HIGH SE IORS Each sport played by the Buffalo Public High Schools has its share of outstanding athletes. Recogni- tion is given these boys, by their selection for the various All-High teams. Winners of the individual events in the swimming and track All-High Meets comprise the All- High team. The medal winners in cross country are the first five finishers in the championship meet. The tennis selections are determined by the won-lost records of the boys in the various divisions. Football, basketball, and baseball winners are chosen through polls of the team coaches and the News and Courier sports' staffs. Thus, All-High honors have been presented to the following Senior boys who were most deserving of this highest athletic distinction: Elbert Blanks ,.,. .....

In averaging over eleven runs per game we showed the most potent offensive attack of the series. Under the coaching of Mr. Braun, our murderer's row of hitters brought us only two runs shy of winning the city cham- pionship. The fact that we possessed a come-from-behind spirit became apparent in the initial contest of the season against Burgard. Down 6 to 2 after the second inning, we picked up two rims in the fifth on Don Alexandcr's triple. Then, the Tigers got single runs in the sixth and seventh to tie the score. We sewed up the victory with a three run outburst in the one extra inning played. In our second encounter of the year, with East, homeplate was crossed twenty-eight times by the Tigers via seventeen hits and eighteen bases on balls. Needless to say we wong the final score being 28 to 1. Reg Eyre drove in six runs and the combination of pitchers Peter Linder and Arthur Thomas held the Orientals to three hits. l BASEB LL i X i l Giller gets set for a big cut. I l Champion Riverside, regarded by many as the to beat, bowed rather easily to us-15 to 2. Don pitched and batted us to victory, holding the 1 to three hits and knocking in four runs himself. Our fourth straight victory,l a 5 to 3 Seneca, came as a result of rookie Steve batting punch, a triple and twci singles, which three runs. Poor Don Alexander really put in a day.

VVRIGNT The 1958 Bennett tennis team lost to Kensington in a heart breaking match, thereby finishing the season in second place. It was the first time in four years that Coach 1'1eis's squad failed to win the Dr. Robert T. Bnpst cup. The returning boys in 1959 were filled with that ambition and drive which can only be instilled by a feeling of indignance. The tennis team set the con- quest of Kensington as their goal for the season. It was taken for granted that upon this match the tennis championship rested. The Tigers successfldly opened the season with a de- cisive 5-0 victory over Grover Cleveland. Bennett's future appeared excellent, for their team played su- perbly against Grover. Al Cerstel, former All-High sec- ond singles player, bore the responsibility of Hrst singles, while Robert Lipsitz and Steve Wagner played the other two singles positions. With these capable men and two outstanding doubles teams Bennett's future indeed looked bright. Raines scores with n driving foreh und. The Tiger s hopes were enhanced when Kensington, defending champion, lost two! individual match p to Seneca.

After defeating East 5-0 at McMillan courts, Bennett had a 35-5 record in individual match points.

Bennetfs first doubles team, consisting of Bruce Raines and Al Erenstoft gave Kc-n's team of Cianciosi and Forster their first defeat of the season. Our second doubles and second singles players also won. However Al Cerstel, at first singles, and Wagner, at third singles lost giving Bennett a 3-2 victory. Since the title is de- cided on individual match points, Kensington captured the championship for the second consecutive year with Lipsitz slips in a lun-klumd punch.

Four tennis players earned All-High positions for their excellent play throughout the season. Bruce Raines and Al Erenstoft gained All-High honors at first doubles, while Bob Dickman and Cary Presant received All-High recognition in the second doubles competition. Bennett is looking forward to next season, with hopes of another capable tennis team under the leadership of Coach Ilcis who needs to replace only two players. With his fine coaching and the many returning lettermen, Bennett's prospects for regaining the tennis cup in 1960 are most assuring. ay 5, W- . 5.5 - ' ' 4 I. f I 'EFX .iii-2, 6, A - , 5 Q - .Ty fp ' B ' 141.1 N ' Hifi . - xx k . kv V One, Two, Clin-Clin-Cha. W TRACK In 1958 the Bennett track team finished seventh out of a field of twelve. At the close of the season Coach Ro- senthal remarked that he was counting on a hetter placement in 1959 because a number of his '58 stalwarts would he returning. Ilis optimism was based on boys like Ed Finncrty, Frank Ralahate, Don DiPirro, and Elbert Blanks. With the return of spring, thc Bennett track team could be seen practicing in All-High Stadium. Besides those boys who Couch Rosenthal considered to be the nucleus of his team, other holdovers such as Dennis Clark, Lamonte Dade, Robert Palmer, and .lohn Terry also looked promising. The boys were soon molded into n closely knit unit, with the veterans encouraging the younger aspirants throughout the many long hours of practice. Because of their diligence, it was hoped that this spirited team would he rewarded with a successful season. Bennettfs first preliminary meet was against East and Emerson. East fielded a swift and adroit team which was to prove a nemesis to almost' every club that season. Bennett camc in second behind! them. The one bri ht spot was in pole vaulting, as Lamonte Dade and Rob,,rt Palmer tied for first. ' The team redeemed itself hy winning the next pre- liminary meet against Lafayette and Grover Cleveladd.

Especially sweet was the winning of the varsity relay, whose members were Joe Benaquist, Ken Patti, John Terry and Art Swaney. Bennett followed suit a week later by placing first against Technical and McKinley. John Terry once more was first in the 220. Robert Dines running the 440 also repeated in the number one slot. Elbert Blanks high jumped six feet to capture that event, and the varsity relay team once again gained first place honors. The team finished last in its final preliminary meet. Seneca edged Kensington with Bennett a distant third. But this defeat served a good purpose, for the team re- turned to practice with the determination that can come only from a rankling setback. Coach Rosenthal expected no miracles in the All- High time trials. When the dust cleared Bennett had qualified four boys. We were represented in the 880 by Dennis Clark. Both Donnell Williams and Frank Rala- bate qualified in the mile, while Elbert Blanks contin- ued the fine work he had shown us all season by quali- fying in the high jump.

Not only did his track team display Hne sports- manship during the entire campaign, but the team by placing fifth rose two notches above its 1958 finish.

True, they were still called the Tigers, but they could also have been known as the Bennett Mudders. A no more Htting epithet could describe this year's team, for five of the seven games were played in the worst weather and field conditions possible. Before the season started the Tigers because of the experience and ability of several returning players were favored to recapture the Harvard Cup. Those lettermen in the backfield were All-High Don Gilbert and Carl Johnson: up front our solid line had All-High Joe Flood, Don Orsolitz and Arnie Weintraub. Riverside Field was the setting for our initial gri game against Tech on September 26. The Engi proved no match for our 1958 champions.

' Q . i Q ' '23 5, at iuiwr N H i CROSS COUNTRY In 1957 and 1958 Bennett finished the season as Co- lumbia Cup Champions. When practice began for cross country 1959, Coach Rosenthal felt confident of a suc- cessful outcome. Both Robert Maelin and Ed Finnerty, stalwarts on the championship team of the year before, had returned to form a nucleus for the present club. The team, besides the few veterans, was comprised mainly of freshmen and sophomores. These boys worked diligently at practice every day, and visitors to All- lligh Stadium remarked at the wonderful spirit which the boys seemed to possess. 'l' hose boys with running experience from the year before, willingly sacrl ficed time from their own training to guide an industrious band of neophytes. September 22, the date of Bennett's first trixm meet, marked an auspicious opening, for the vanquished McKinley and limerson. This meet special significance for Ed Finncrty, who for the time placed number one in it public school cross co meet. Bob Maelin finished second and Bob Bake Mitchell and Delbert Mullens also finished in thc ten. Bennett's second triangular meet pitted the 'I against Burgurd and Kensington.

The Tigers boosted themselves to second position in their next meet. Seneca, with Pat Meegan placing first, won. Tech placed a distant third. This meet marked the debut of a new man for Bennett. Wearing the orange and blue of the Bennett harriers for the first time was Richard Freeland, an established basketball star. Free- land placed fifth behind Maclin's third and Finnerty's fourth positions. Mike Musen and Bill Mitchell placed sixteenth and seventeenth respectively. The team once more finished second. This time against East and Lafayette. Bob Maclin finally ful- filled that which had escaped his grasp all season, the honor of placing first. His time on the 2.9 mile course at Delaware Park was 16:11. This was the best time re- corded in any of the triangular meets of the 1959 sea- son. Finnerty and Freeland followed close on his heels finishing fourth and fifth. Musen and Mitchell once again brought up the rear at the ten and fourteen spots. The All-High Columbia Cup cross country run, which serves to determine the final standings for the season, materialized as the most exciting race in several years. Seneca finished as a triumphant first, but East and Kensington were not far behind in point total. Beu- nett finished fifth behind fourth ranking Burgard. Rob- ert Maelin and Edward Finnerty who displayed out- standing stamina and determination earned All-High positions. Maclin fmished second and Finnerty third. Richard Freeland placed a strong fifteenth and Mike Musen steamed in thirty-fifth. William Mitchell ably represented his alma mater by placing forty-eighth. Although Bennett didn't regain the Columbia Cup, the boys certainly displayed a standard of sportsman- ship which teams in successive years can only hope to emulate. Bennett's students sincerely wish Mr. Rosen- thal and his boys the best of luck in next fall's cross country season.

Bennett inaugurated the 1960 basketball season with an impressive 69-39 victory over Riverside. The Yale Cup favorites appeared anxious in their first encounter, however, experienced veterans Richard Freeland, El- bert Blanks, and Don Gilbert led the Tigers to victory on the Frontiers' home court. South Park became Bennett's next victim by a hum- bling 105-37 score. Cootie Blanks lcd the Tigers with twenty-nine points: llichie Freeland had twenty-two. The future appeared bright for Bennettis winning the Yale Cup for the second consecutive year. Under new coach Don Szen, the Tigers had shown great potential in the first two Cup contests. Coach Szen had inherited great talent from last ycar's championship team. Re- turning lettermcn included All-High guard Don Gilbert, Elbert Blanks, Richard Freeland, Art Swaney, Ron Hunter, and Sam Miloro. Transfer students, Don Brusky, Jim Daly, and Phil Dotson, strengthened Ben- nett's chances for this coveted trophy. Before a home crowd, the Tigers next met Crover Cleveland. The Presidents threw a scare at Bennett while building a small lead during the first half. Ilow- ever, vetcran Comic Blanks led the Tigers to a 54-53 comeback victory. This was Bennett's first of many close games during the season. Bennett's next game was against arch-rival Kensing- ton, our only conqueror a year ago. Ken had spoiled the Tiger's perfect record in 1959 with a 39-34 victory. This year Bennett retaliated with a 57-44 vititory. Lafayette and Ilutch-Tech also fell to thc wayside at the hands of the powerful Bennett team. These Lwo Tiger victories were the last easy wins of the season. The team then earned close victories over East, Sen- eca, and Burgard. East, a vastly under-rated team, iost by four points in an overtime contest. Don Gilb t's clutch playing and Cootie's fine shooting led Ben ett to the 65-61 victory. Seneca and Burgard, our future play-off foes, were also defeated in tension packed contests. , Emerson and Bennett were then tied for the Yale Cup lead with identical 9-0 records. On February 26 Ben ett handed Emerson their first loss of the season. he Tigers clinched at least a tic for thc Yale Cup ch m- pionship with a decisive 55-45 victory over the Eu les on our home court. During the first half, the Eagles of Emerson moved the ball cleverly to build u 28-23 halftime lead. Roose- velt Nixon was instrumental in leading Emerson through a highly successful second quarter. Bennett scored only two field goals during this period. After the halftime break, Bennett cut Emerson's ad to three points. Then the Tigers exploded for 11 stra ht points to build up an insurmountable lead. Coach Sz n's switch to zone defense in the second half stymied m- CFSOII. The final score, 55-45 iri favor of Bennett, was indicative of our team's fine plziy. Bennett recaptured the Yale Cup by defeating Mc- Kinley 66-63 in the final game of the season. Led by Don Gilbert's clutch-playing, Bennett squeezed out another close victory. Cliff and Art stretch for a rebound. A week later Bennett defeated third place Burgard 44--42 in the first round ofthe Board of Education Cup play-offs. The following Friday the Tigers suffered their first loss of the season. Joe Bossert's forty points led Seneca to a revenge victory, for Bennett had defeated them in 1959 to win the post season cup. The Tiger's overall prowess was clearly seen in the All-High selections in which Don Gilbert and Elbert Blanks achieved first team recognition. Richard Free- land, Art Swaney, and llon llunter also received mention. Although the nucleus of this year's clianipionship team is graduating, Bennett still has excellent prospects for next year. Coach Szen will also return, having gained invaluable experience in handling the '59-'60 ball club.

Having Toby return with some of the other outstanding underclassmen on this year's swimming team, the Tigers should be sparked to an even better season mark next year. Coach Heis, who did his usual fine jolt with our boys, and the boys themselves, are indebted to Bruce Rosen who ably performed the duties of manager throughout the season.

N N TE RA Since no extraordinary ability was called for, all girls at Bennett were welcome to join the Girls' Sports pro- gram. Baseball, basketball, and volleyball teams were organized and supervised by bliss Roberts and Mrs. Strunk, while Miss Baecher took charge of the swim- ming classes. To acquire other necessary points, t.he girls also participated in Drill team, cheerleading, and refereeing. MAJORETTES Along with our many other accomplishments, Ben- nett claimed a bevy of girls who added enjoyment and spirit to our football games-the Majorettes. Selected by Mr. Kuhlitz, these girls worked out their own rou- tines and practiced until they were perfect. A sincere vote of appreciation should he extended to our talented Majorettes. VOLLEYBALL Volleyball, one of the most dynamic and exciting sports, was enjoyed by all the athletically inclined girls. Many of them had already accumulated enough points for their respective letters, but participated because of the pleasure and enjoyment which the game offers. SWIMMING Throughout the year the Bennett pool was grac by many future Esther Williams'l These girls, memh s of Miss Baecher's Synchronized Swimming Class, w ked diligently to originate and perfect graceful, unified rou- tines. The crawl, side stroke, liack stroke, and dog ad- dle displayed the girls' versatility. Valuable trasing was also extended to the girls by the perennial life- saving course. i BASKETBALL Basketball, a stimulating team sport, developed quick reflexes and a keen sense of spoitsmanship in all the par- ticipants. Differing from boys' sport, girls' baskepball features two teams made up of four forwards and :four guards. The forwards of one team are defended by the guards of the other and occuriy one side of the court, while their teammates play onlthe other side. Cro ing the center line and dribbling twice are considered ouls in the girls' game. Most of the girls enjoyed this s rt because the competition was always both spirited nd challenging. BASEBALL Early in September the ery of Batter up lured hun- dreds of girls into playing baseball. After a few prac Lice games, the Bound Robin tourxiaments began. Finally, two teams remained to compete for the number one position. The school shook from the basement to the rafters with the cheers of young hopefuls ready to do or die in the championship game.

GOLD B On June 3, the culmination of the Girls' Sports activ- ities was reached with a special assembly at which time Bennett's girl athletes received well-deserved recogni- tion. Those who had earned 150 and 300 points were awarded certificates, those who had earned 400 points received a felt UB. The climax came when the Senior girls who had amassed 500 points stepped forward, dressed in wl1ite, to be presented with their Cold B pins. It was this honor and all the fun and activity which it stood for, that served as a truly worthwhile re- ward for these girls. Besides the enjoyment received from participation in the sports, the girls gained valuable lessons in co-opera- tion and sportsmanship. Bennett High School and espe- cially the Girls' Sports participants should extend many thanks to the gym and swimming teachers who ably guide a most enjoyable athletic program for l3ennett's females.

As half time approached at the football games, girls dressed in orange and blue rushed to get into their marching positions. On the field going through their intricate patterns, the orange beanies, blue sweatshirts, and blue pleated skirts made an attrac- tive and colorful ensemble. Not only has the Drill team increased the spirit at football games, but the girls have also performed at various assemblies. Their new talents were very skill- fully displayed at the Bennett-Ken game, with the girls using hula hoops as part of a human wheel routine. Raw I: S. Lassman. J. Ilofert, D. Rapp, I.
