Activities and Ciubs The varied extra-curricular activities at Benson High School offer students opportunities to do advanced work and to obtain more pleasure from the subjects and hobbies in which they are most interested. Various departments in the school are represented in the extra-curricular program. Besides the Student Council, publications, R.O.T.C., sports, vocal and instrumental music, there are language, science, mathematics and history clubs fo meet students' interests. Interest in activities did not wane when many of them had to be discon- tinued in April, 1938. At the start of the fall semester when reorganization began more students than ever before registered for these activities. foams I' r 315 in 12 its 'W isis If CQ 4 S Ml QQ f Lg ,T iv Jrdfiy R if 'H QM?

A P. -' as . .Y 51. fig Z . + was History of Benson High School Benson High School came into existence in 1904 when it was organized for a two- year course. Mr. john Speedie was superintendent in the building at Sixtieth and Maple streets. In 1911, while Miss Margaret Fedde was still principal, the eleventh and twelfth grades were added. Miss Mary McNamara became principal in September, 1911. In 1912 the first athletic teams were organized, and the Orpheus club, an organization which produced all school operettas for many years, was established. Nineteen hundred-thirteen was a big year when the first four-year class to graduate from Benson High School consisted of eight members. Membership in the North-Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools was obtained in 1914 when the high school was transferred to the Benson West building, Sixty-sixth and Maple streets. In 1918 Benson became a part of the Omaha school system, then headed by Mr. J. H. Beveridge. The basketball team made its first showing in 1920, when it won the Nebraska State High School trophy, Class E. The Benson chapter of Girl Reserves was organized with about 15 members.

The consolidation will go into efiect in September, 1959. Miss Mary McNamara, Benson High principal, will become principal of both schools with Mr. J. Arthur Nelson, assistant principal in charge of Monroe. On April 19, 1939, Miss Grace Matous, instructor in the commercial department, died after an illness of two months following an attack of flu. Miss McNamara said of Miss Matous, She was kind and generous and frequently gave her individual check for welfare work among the students at Benson High School. Miss Matous was a fine Christian char- acter and an excellent teacher, especially understanding freshmen and their problems. Her death brings a real loss to Omaha's educational system. 1.3-1: rljez' .vii , .5 Q' , ' f 9,1553-a l , ,- . .h V ,Ki ., .Q qi 'C 91477 'wif I..
