He was an easy- going, well liked teacher of Physical Education and coached the JH boys and girls in all sports. We all realize what his presence meant to us, there- fore, we, the Bennett Annual Staff, would like to dedicate this book to one of two very special people- Art Edwards Born september 10, 1936 Died November 4, 1978 Gerald Lee Schnoor, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ron Schnoor and brother of Craig and Brian, was also a member of the graduating class of 1979. As we look back, we realize how much Jerry's presence did and would have meant to us. We, the Annual Staff, would also like to dedicate this book to- Jerry Schnoor Born October 4, 1960 Died October 29, 1978 'SA good leg will fall. A straight back will stoop. A black beard will turn white. A curled pate will grow bald. A fair face will wither. A full eye will wax hollow. But a good heart is the sun and the moon, for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps it course trulyf, Taken from Henry V4Act Five, Scene Two, Line 16. v '1--- 9I11OI'S S I- SUSAN MARIE WRIGHT Band 9-12, Librarian 12, Chorus 9-12, Librarian 9-12, Student Involvement 10, Bennetteer 9-11, National Honor Society 10-12, German Club 11, Speech 9,12, Pep Band 11,12, March- ing Band 11,l2,Jazz Band 10, 12.

Bennett was only out of one game losing to Calamus 20-6. The other losses were to Lost Nation and Wheatland. Leading hitter on the team was Russell Moeller who also did the majority of the pitch- ing. Mr. Craig Wilford was their coach. its 35 Student Council 8t Involvement The Student Council at Bennett Community School met the first and third Thursday of each month, from September thru May. Officers for the 1978-79 school year were: Lori Huck- stadt-President, Randy KrugwVice President, Kristi Siebel-Secretary, Art Ahrens-Treasurer. The council was very active-in February they went bowling and ate at Happy Joe's. They sponsored Mr. Hal Smith from the Youth Challenge. For the first time ever, the council went on an exchange day with Lincoln High, where five students from their school came to Bennett and five council mem- bers went there. The council also spon- sored the Homecoming Dance on December 8, 1978. Student Council-Row l-David Hall-advisor, Art Ahrens, Kristi Siebel, Randy Krug, Lori Huckstadt.

In the 1978-79 school year there were tive students who took part in Student Involvement. They were: Sandy Hawkins, Suzy Weih, Roberta Hough, Tina Walls and Jolene Keppy. Student Involvement is set up, so if a teacher needs help in the class- room, helshe tells the principal, he then asks for student volunteers from study hall to help the teachers. Sandy Hawkins, Suzy Weih and Jolene Kept helped Miss Cowherd. Roberta Hougl helped Mrs. Keith. Tina Walls helped Mrs. Paulsen.

Librarians Student Librarians were kept busy this year helping Mrs. Walter keep the approximately 15,000 books and thousands of current and back issues of magazines in their proper places. The group took a field trip to Iowa City in April, where they visited the State University of Iowa Library and School of Library Science. They also visited the Iowa City Public Library, Horn Elementary School Library and West High School Library. BOIVIBEFZ The Bomber staff had a busy year in 1978-79, by starting their advertising sales in May, meetings twice a month from 3:30 to 9:30 September thru December and every Wednesday January thru May plus a couple weeks into June to complete the deadlines. Little do people realize how much time and energy it takes to put a year- book like this together. This small group pictured below and often times JUST Editor Carla Wilson, Co-editor Ginny Hawkins and Sandy Hawkins, would spend six hours or more a week putting this book together. Time and energy is also spent selling ads and the '79 book itself. But all-in-all, itls alot of fun putting a book of many memories together, some good and others sad, to look back upon-for ourselves as well as fellow students of BHS.

As for pep rallies, due to the lack of school spirit, they seemed few and far between at the start of the season, but as the teams began climbing the tournament ladder, there seemed to be one every day. , W uw JH Band 8t Chorus Row 1-Shamin Himes, Jackie Weih, Kim Harmel, Lorraine Steffen, Cindy Lenschow, Blaine Clay, Brett Moeller Scott Carlson, Scott Fredericksen, Brad Donald, Brian Wendel, Todd Ko hler, Deb Ketelsen-director.

Huckstadt Hits 400 An event that will never be forgotten is the night Coach Bill Huckstadt took the Bomberettes to the Muscatine Fieldhouse to defeat the WACO Warriors . . . BUT . . . Thursday, February 15th was not JUST a win for Huck -it was his 400th career victory. Huckstadt never expected to win 400 games. He explains, uno coach everwins 400 or 500 games, his team wins them for him. Below, are the sequence of events that occurred the night of the Athletic and Activities Banquet when Coach Huck- stadt received a special award for his 400 wins. Kevin Ralfs Stuffs It On January 29, 1979, Kevin Ralfs added some extra excite ment to the game against Midland as he went down the court for a slam dunk with S6 seconds left in the second quarter. The crowd roared for nearly a minute as he received a stand- ing ovation. The picture directly below is his dunk and the picture to the right is his teammates reaction to the whole or- deal. . .something to remember!

For getting the most points out ofthe three team, Jolene received the National Silver award. Dave and Tina received the Bronze National Award. Mark represented the Iowa team for Beef Showmanship.
