Buying megaphones for Pep Club . . . standing in line for hot lunch . . . the nervous anticipation of the waiting be- fore the curtain opened on our plays . . . the agonizing minutes before a semester test . . . these are the joys and tribulations we all have shared together through our six years in Benson High. Remember our first days in Jr. High? Those were the days when you couldn't open your locker and you had to carry your books around all day--that's when you didn't eat lunch because your lunch was in your locker. By the time we reached our freshman year we had over- come the small difficulties we had had in the 7th grade and we looked forward to being represented at Homecom- ing by Todd Wordelman and Ver Berens, who were our ban- ner-bearers. We were led into our Sophomore year--and Senior High-- by our class officers. Gloria Antolick, Ronnie Hanson, Mary Maher, and Gloria Larson. Click, click, click went some of our fingers and pound, pound, pound went others. These are the sounds we made while typing. Remember how hard you would work on an assignment to get an A and then make a mistake in the last line? The exciting moment of that year was when we served the juniors and seniors at their banquet entitled Underwater Fantast. Double Barrel Detective Story, our junior class play--the hustle and bustle of the stage crew and the actors with their noses in their books trying desperately to learn their lines. Mary Maher, our President, was ever present to help us at games, etc. because we as juniors sold refresh- ments. We chose the theme Around the World in 80 Days, for the banquet, and we were very happy that the seniors were pleased with our choice. Homecoming 1958-59, our last and most treasured. After many days of waiting we were all very happy at the outcome of the coronation with Donna We rsinger as our Queen and Vern Berens taking the Kingly title. Soon after, the senior class play was being rehearsed. Did you ever see such a bunch of nervous kids and that make-up ugh, it tasted like chalk. As graduation nears we look back on our years in high school and think of them as good years--some of the best we'll ever know.
