HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS When we entered Benson High School three years ago, we wondered what it would all be like. Instead of little work and more fun as we had thought of high school pupils with their four subjects, we were completely let down when we discovered the volume of work to be done along with the intricate subjects such as, algebra, science, Latin, and high school English. Such a complete change baffled us about when and where to go — the three minutes allowed for change of periods seemed never to give us green freshmen time to get from one recitation room to another; and if it hadn ' t been for Mr. Woodlief standing on the landing in the hall and telling us just where to go, more of us would have sat in for being late to class. Finally, after a brief period of adjustment, we plunged in with all our might to conquer high school with all its work and difficulties. Our home room teachers were Mrs. Parker and Mr. Vann, and our grade mothers were Mesdames M. A. Peacock and J. 15. Benton. Their many kindnesses and courtesies will long be remembered. We did, however, have some fun that first year, one outstanding event being our entertainment for the Seniors at House ' s Mill. Some of us went out for athletics, and others showed their abilities in other activities. Jewell Bazemore proved to be our real gem when she won the J. W. Whittenton Prize. At the beginning of our sophomore year we missed some of the familiar faces of elementary school and first year high school, among them being Katherine Benton, for whom we had a deep love. Miss Rowe was our home room teacher, and her kindness and willingness to help us at any time pulled us through many and varied problems. Mrs. G. W. Hobgood was our grade mother — will we ever forget the good things she sent us ! The social event of the year was our movie party for the Seniors to see Wake Up and Live, after which we enjoyed refreshments at the drug store. Our jewel, Jewell Bazemore, honored our class again by winning one of the J. W. Whittenton prizes given for the best all round students in high school. This year we are happy Juniors, taking leading parts in all school activities, with one more rung of the ladder to climb. Our home room teacher is Mrs. Edwards, whose smiles and pleasing personality radiate cheerfulness in our midst. Our gem, Jewell, continues to sparkle more and more year by year, she having been elected the best all round girl in school. Her scholarship also has been the best, with an average of 1 on each subject. The high light of our social activities this year was our Junior-Senior banquet. Not at the top but still climbing, we can hardly wait to be dignified Seniors. Myrtle Hobgood, Historian . IN MEMORIAM Katherine Benton Died July 16, 1936 Eighteen
