June Class 1945 Our C-45 assembly line starts off with the body of the plane, which is represented by Benson High schools seniors. They have attained what the majority of Benson students look forward to-the completion of their high school career. Election campaigning started soon after the seniors had settled down to their routine work. Stunts and speeches started fast and furiously as signs of all shapes, sizes, and colors appeared in the auditorium, cafeteria, and halls. After the dust had settled, it was revealed that john Marshall would take over as president, with John Connelly filling the post of vice president. Lloyd Metheny and Margaret jenkins were elected treasurer and secretary respectively. May 9 brought a day long awaited by all seniors-skip day. It started with a breakfast at Elmwood Park, after which the graduates were free for the day. The next thing on the bill was the banquet May 16 at the Fontenelle hotel. The theme, The Play's the Thingf was carried throughout the banquet, not only in the speeches but also in the seating arrangement. As president, john Marshall presided, and Rodney Lindwall acted as the toastmaster. The climax of four years, work came May 25 at the commencement exercises held at Technical High school. Rev. A. K. Williams of the St. Paul Methodist church pre- sented the invocation. Many of the seniors received their diplomas with lumps in their throats, and as they walked across the stage their high school careers flashed through their minds recalling many pleasant memories. Mr. Winter, Mrs. Swan, Miss Barrett, Miss Kriebs
