POLY TEC 326 CLASS HISTORY Four years ago a large number of eager Freshmen entered Benson Polytechnic School. Some came to Benson, having the idea in mind, to learn a trade and to get a start in life. Others came to go out for sports and school activities which were available at Benson, and some came just to be going to school. At our first Senior meeting Mr. Hovde and Miss Downer, our two class advisers, were in- troduced to the class.
