But the friendly services Of sympathetic and understanding faculty members have been of inestimable value to the many students who have gone to them for advice. Each Of the counsellors has a certain group OI students to which he gives help and advice, and any student may be assured Of unprejudiced guidance from his counsellor.

Benson's faculty and students were in great demand because of their technical skills and the armed forces drew a large number of them. And because military conscription laced every student upon, or before, graduation. studies were often slighted. However, with the return of peace, the same factors that hindered Bensonites during the war are now helping raise the standard of education here. Teachers. a scarcity in war time, are returning with added knowledge in instructing and with a renewed vision of aiding the youth of America to become well-educated. The returning students, alter experiencing the armed forces educational pro- gram and strict disciplining, have a more serious outlook on lite and are taking a new interest in getting as much out of their high school education as possible.

FIVE DROWN Seaside was the scene of a great catas- trophe fkat-as'tro-te: n.-a great calamity or disaster: an event subversive of the or- der ot things! yesterday as the treacherous Pacific Ocean 'took the lives of five men in its greedy clutches. According to reports, the drowning was the result of five Scotch- men - Wayne McCroskey, 'I'homas Mc- Garry, Merlin MacKenzie, Don McCallum. and Vic Santangelo-attempting to swim with one pair of water wings. However, it is said that all five died with smiles on their laces-no doubt from the knowledge that someone else would have to pay for their funerals. .sig 0 ' X ,K-- J . A N .

X, X O J Class History It was a dark, bleak morning that twenty-fifth day of Ianuary back in 1942, but for 350 wide-eyed freshies it was a glorious, happy day. On this day, four years ago, these newest-and greenest-additions to the Benson Tech Student Body were hilarious and light- hearted over their coming four-year adventure as students at this great institution of learning. Most of these fresh, young students had come here to take up a desired trade, some had come to star on the athletic field or in the scholastic field, some had hopes of attaining a high office in Student Body gov- ernment or on the Tech Pep Staff, others came here without any particular reason except for Benson's high reputation, and a few-just a very few though- came here to get away from girls. But whatever the reason, boys from nearly every school in the city were assembled in the auditorium that morning. And for a large group of boys-freshies at that-they were M155 DQWNER very quiet as they nervously stared in awe at the immense auditorium and the grandeur of the school. One, two, three years slowly crept by. In that short time the childish hilarity and meekness had been transformed into sober toil and a sense of confidence and importance. For these one- time freshies had also changed in those three years and were now seniors-envied upperclass- men. Then on the seventh of March, 1945, the remnants of that 1942 freshman class, now reduced to slightly over 100 seniors, met in the auditorium to organize their graduating class. At the next meeting of the class, officers were elected to guide the seniors through their final term. Those chosen were: Dee Swayze, president, Roy Williams, vice-president, Richard Carter, sec- retary, Arthur Hitsman, treasurer, and Max Zbinden, sergeant-at-arms. Because of the war and the resulting drafting of 18-year-olds, Arthur Hitsman and Max Zbinden were unable to complete their last term, so Emanuel Zografos was elected to replace Arthur as Class Treasurer and Roland Sherman was voted to fill the Sergeant-at-Arms vacancy. Wayne McCroskey, the only candidate for the position, was unanimously elected to edit the Poly Tech. For a staff he chose Roland Sherman. associate editor, Roy Williams, assistant editor, Ray Stewart, club editor, Keith Petrie, sports editor, Thom Thornburg, photo editor, and Eugene Anderson, art editor. The class decided to hold a Senior Prom for the MR- NICHOLS Iune '45 class instead of the usual party. This was greatly appreciated by the outgoing class and the prom was a big success. At a meeting held on Friday, April 20, the commit- tees for selecting suitable flowers, colors, and mottoes submitted three of each to be voted on by the class. 'The following were the choices: 8 CLASS FLOWER Talisman Rose CLASS CoLons Fuchsia and Powder Blue CLASS Morro We study that we may serve 9' Q O ROLAND SHERMAN Sgt,-at-Arms Ad?

CLASS PLAY CAST Class Play Run, Hero, Run! a gay comedy in three acts, was presented by the senior class in the Benson Auditorium on the evening of December 7th before a large and appreciative audience. Miss Mary Ellen Minis, as lane Milburn, played the part of an attractive young secretary, business-like and alert, which qualities she somehow was able to combine with a certain wistful and romantic air. Ruth Van Kirk, in the role of Thelma Kendall, wife of Cornelius, played her part to perfection. Thelma Kendall is attractive, extremely talkative, and ab- sorbed in her own point of view, entirely lacking a sense of humor. Grace Hoffman, playing Ena Ray, Mrs. Kendall's sister, was second to none in acting the part of a very pretty young woman, a person with an appealing manner, a woman sure to produce instant jealousy on the part of other women. She speaks with great sweetness and a slight drawl. Ianice Wold portrayed the part of Finch, a nursery governess to the Kendall twins. Finch is always trying to speak, but is continually forestalled by Mrs. Kendall. Miss Wold's pantomime was most effective. Eugene Anderson characterized Billy Winters, a very young real estate sales- man With an extremely high opinion of his own ability-a very wolfish Char- acter. Donald Prindle, leading man, played Ernest Blakely, a bookkeeper Whose interest in life is chess. He was in love with lane, but was somewhat forgetful of it at times. Roland Sherman, depicting Mr. Merritt, was a scream. Merritt was a very precise and exact person in speech and manner-sometimes using words so long that it would take several breaths to complete them. David Lapham, as Mr. Cornelius Kendall, played the part of a middle-aged manufacturer of cough drops-a millionaire, pompous and masterful in manner, but really dominated by his young wife. Thomas McGarry made a pleasant, round-laced Chinaman, the silent Wo Sing, at times inscrutable. Wo Sing was a servant in the country home ol the Kendalls. Mr. Blakely is suddenly cast into public life by an act of super-bravery-the rescuing of the twins of a millionaire cough drop king. First Mr. Merritt, who is constantly saying that he represents the Society for the Recognition and Reward of Acts of Bravery, makes plans for him to make a speech over the radio. lt is to be a nation-wide broadcast sponsored by the society to which Mr. Merritt be- longs. Billy then presents the arrangements he has in mind. Sunnyside Acres, a tract of land which Billy has made plans to sell, is under his full control. He has arranged to have a band play at the tract, where refresh- ments will be served. For an advertising stunt, the first couple to announce their engagement that evening will be given a free lot. Ernest and lane are to be the first to announce their engagement, thus receiving the tree homesite. Billy will then take the others out, show them the lots, and tell them how to build their homes. Ernest is to be the main attraction at this ridiculous proceeding. The entrance of Mr. and Mrs. Kendall only complicates matters because they also have plans. Mrs. Kendall claims that she has sent out three hundred invita- tions to a reception in Mr. Blakely's honor. This statement results in a terrific argument. The argument is suddenly stopped by Ena, who states that Mr. Blakely should decide for himself which plan he should like to carry out. Mr. Blakely's decision only adds to the confusion when he tells them that he already has plans ot his own. He has been asked to take the place of the Masked Expert at a chess game which Ernest eventually wins. The victory over his opponent gives him the chance to go to Paris to play another chess championship contest.

Archery Clubeheld several meets at Sherwood Field in Washington Park dur- ing the dry season. Bowling Club-really went to town this term. In addition to holding regular meetings and practicing bowling, the members promoted and effectively started an interscholastic bowling league. They are now trying to receive recogniiion as a school sport, earning letters and Winning trophies. Camera Club-adopted a new constitution this term. One of their club projects at the first ofthe semester was taking pictures for the Poly Tech. Defender Ipse-put on a judo exhibition at the Benson Carnival. At club meet- ings they practice judo and tumbling to keep in top shape physically. Electric Club-planned and took a trip to Bonneville to inspect the electric installations and generators there. Hi-Y Club-participated in city-wide, inter-faith Hi-Y Thanksgiving services at the Civic Auditorium. Around school they cleaned the gym floor and worked for the general welfare of the school. They gained a great moral victory this term when they were finally recognized as a school club. Orange B-started anew its campaign to clean up the school and keep it clean. This is very important in keeping the school appearance up to par. Optimist Club-had a term project of debating but the Optimist basketball team turned out to be the main interest ot the club members. Poly Steppers-held joint meetings with Girls Poly and learned to dance by actual practice. Public Speaking-planned and began practice on a play to be presented at the next Tech Show. Radio Actors Guild-planned and participated in two radio broadcasts over KBPS. The last one was Iohn Paul Iones . Type-Hi-visited the Iournal and Oregonian and began setting poetry for ex- hibit in next term's Tech Show. They also undertook the task of keeping the Print Shop locker room clean and orderly. Other Clubs-were not reported so could not be publicized. They include, however, the Automotive Engineers, Aviation, Architectural, Cavaliers, Chess, Sailing, Roller Skating, Silver Skating, and Machinist Clubs. Shop Writeups AVIATION SHOP This has been the most popular shop in the school during the war, often drawing as high as one-third of the total enrollment of the school. With the American public becoming more air-minded every day the Aviation Shop seems to be assured of this high degree of popularity for many years to come. The shop has been very fortunate during the war in another respect, too, and that is that it has received many new motors, plane parts, and even a complete North American O-47 observation plane. The shop now offers to boys a course consisting of sheet metal work, wooden wing rib construction, solid model air- plane construction, engine repair and maintenance, and general airplane mechanics plus flight theory, navigation, and other related subjects. No doubt a high percentage of the Aviation students will enter other fields in later life, but their greatly varied technical training in this shop and their related studies will be of great value throughout life regardless of the trade or profession which these students take up. BLACKSMITH SHOP This is the shop where forging is taughtg not the kind that lands you behind bars, however. That is the first thing that strikes a visitor as he walks into the shop-the large number of forges covering the floor. During the war, this shop became very valuable as welding and burning are taught here. These two trades are becoming more important in all kinds of metal construction. One of the main attractions at a Tech Show, and also very useful in the shop work, is the giant 880-pound hammer. This can be controlled so delicately that a piece of paper can be flicked off a watch crystal without touching the watch. However, it is usually used for the heavy pounding in the shop. This shop is valuable not only because it trains blacksmiths, but because it gives students in other courses a knowledge about iron and steel and the dif- ficulties encountered in working with different kinds of metals. DRAWING DEPARTMENT .Benson students may go into two different branches of drawing. One draw- ing roorn contains the Architectural Drawing classes and in the other main draw- ing room, Room 21 to be exact, students major in Mechanical Drawing. The Architectural Drawing students learn building designing and the dif- ferent types of houses, house ornaments, and rooms. With a little further train- ing these students may go into their business life as architects, a very high pay- ing and interesting profession. In the other drawing room Mechanical Drawing majors learn the funda- mentals of engineering. Most of the shop orders, designs for shop equipment, are designed and blue prints made of them in this room. Many complicated drawings, with the path of moving parts of a machine charted, are exhibited on the walls of this room during the Tech Shows but to the average layman they are merely papers covered wtih weird-shaped lines. ELECTRIC SHOP One of the most vital shops to the efficient operation of the entire school is the Electric Shop. This shop has, in addition to its regular work, the job of keep- ing the school wiring system in top shape, keeping the motors in the various shops running, and installing new and better lighting systems in the school. One of its recent projects was the inventing, constructing, and installing of a new electrically operated and lighted score board for local basketball games. Practice frames of houses are built in the shop so that practical experience may be gained in house wiring. Starter and armature winding is one of the big hurdles in the electric course. One thing that surprises many persons at first is that this shop has its own miniature machine shop. This is because electrical repair and construction require many machines and are a very vital part of electrical training. Another section is given to work on motors and controllers, where upper classmen try their hand at the fineries of the trade. This is indeed a shocking department-if one isn't careful. FOUNDRY The first impression one receives when entering the Foundry is that a group of boys are playing in a sand pile. However, on closer observation, it may be seen that they are really constructing some fine molds. Many of the castings used in the Machine Shop and Electric Shop are made in this part of the room. One of the greatest masterpieces to come from the Benson Foundry was a large. imposing stone for making up the Tech Pep on, in the Print Shop. There is a large furnace in one corner with a black stack extending through the roof. This is the 24-inch cupola. In it is melted the metal which is poured into the molds when a casting is made. The casting of these molds is a big event in the life of the students in the east end of the north corridor. Students from all the rooms and shops nearby gather to watch the spectacular display of fireworks as the molten metal is cast. GAS ENGINE SHOP The Gas Engine Shop is the portion of Benson from which the name Mechan- ics -applied to all Benson teams-was derived. This shop offers a complete course in automobile repair and maintenance. One class spends its time study- ing about car motors, what makes them tick or stop ticking, and why. The many intricate adjustments on a motor take a well experienced mechanic to set them properly and that is why garage mechanics are so important in everyday life. Because of the many opportunities in this work many students have become interested in this course. Also it is very comforting to know something about the workings of a motor when the car suddenly stops and it is miles to the nearest garage. One of the most interesting parts of the shop is the part which is equipped just like a modern garage. Many of the faculty members bring their cars here to have repairs made which gives the students much valuable and interesting practice. MACHINE SHOP This shop looks more like a department in a large factory than it does a shop in a technical school. The maze of speeding belts and revolving Wheels plus the combined noise of a multitude of machines is the first thing that confronts one upon entering this shop. Among other machines in this part of the shop are lathes, shapers, planers, milling machines, boring mills, and grinders. Many machines and parts of machines for the other shops in the school come from this department and castings made in the Foundry are finished here. This shop is the final place a shop order goes in its manufacture, having previously come through the Drawing Department, Pattern Making Department, and Foundry. Another very important part of this shop is the Tool Room Where fine tools of every description are designed and made. Dies are made with which tool checks, badges and similar articles are punched, and dies for drop forge Work are made for the Blacksmith Shop. PLUMBING SHOP One of the coziest little shops in the school is the claim of the Plumbing Shop. Because of the great importance, though little glamorized job of plumbers, Benson includes a shop where boys may pick up the fundamentals of this trade. Here a life-sized model of a house is available for practice in installing plumbing by students. In addition to this, the boys get practice in installing plumbing fixtures about the school. And they have many modern tools to help them in their work. One of the main attractions is an electrically-driven pipe cutting and threading lathe. It handles any size of pipe from one quarter inch to four inches. Another machine is an all-Benson production. It is a machine for making lead pipe, which was de- signed, patterned, cast, and machined in Benson shops. Any standard size of pipe may be manufactured in this machine. Even though a student does not wish to become a plumber, a little time spent in this shop would greatly aid in making simple home repairs. PRINT SHOP This shop could truly be called the heart of the school. For from Within its Walls come the Tech Pep, the Poly Tech, the School Bulletin, the report cards and the diplomas, to say nothing of the numerous cards that are needed here which come from this shop. These include Student Body cards, assembly seat checks, Poly Tech and class play exchange tickets, Carnival tickets, and many other small items. The Print Shop is divided into two courses-composing and press work. In the press department one learns to hand-feed presses and to run the larger. automatic presses. In the composing department a student spends a few terms in hand composition and lockups. Then he graduates to the Linotypes where he learns to set type by practicing on Tech Pep copy. RADIO SHOP The Radio Shop is an important link in the chain of shops at Benson. Not only does it offer a course in radio repair but also it trains boys as radio techni- cians, giving them practice on the School Board station, KBPS. This shop prob- ably does more than any other shop, with the possible exception of the Print Shop, in the publicizing and advertising of the school to the public. After a few terms in related work in other shops, a Radio Shop student enters the Radio Shop proper where he learns the ins and outs of radio repair. This course consists of everything from inserting new tubes in radios to the building of workable sending and receiving sets. Upper termers are then allowed to work in the transmitting booth as techni- cians or in the studio as announcers. This is a comparatively new industry and a new course at Benson but it has already gained much popularity. SHEET METAL All locker repairing and other sheet metal work done in the school is done by the members of the Sheet Metal Shop. It is also part of this shop's work to make guards for machines, make metal benches, Waste paper baskets, etc., for use in the school. This little shop, which is located right next to the Plumbing Shop, contains several pieces of equipment used in commercial sheet metal work. Also lining the walls may be seen dozens of gas burners where the soldering irons are heated. Soldering ability, although one of the less difficult abilities to be ac- quired, is one of the prerequisites of a good sheet metal worker. Mechanical Drawing forms a very important part of the Sheet Metal course. Especially is this ability necessary in laying out patterns of various sheet metal problems such as cones, elbows, and cornices. The pattern is then laid out on the metal which is finally cut and formed into the desired article. This is Where the machines help out, although most of them are still hand-operated. WOODWORKING SHOP The Benson Woodworking Shop is no mere manual training shop such as many other schools boast, it is on the order of a real commercial shop. The shop is divided into three sections-pattern-making, cabinet-making, and building construction. In the pattern-making department, the technical students learn to make patterns which they will later become acquainted with in the Foundry. Some of the finest work in the shop is turned out in the cabinet- making department where the carpenters and cabinet-makers of tomorrow are being well trained. Many of the cabinets, tables, desks, and other woodwork around the school are products of the students in this shop. The building con- struction class teaches students the fundamentals of house construction from the ground up, and from the inside out. Real scale models of houses are assembled here by boys who have signed up for this work. One of the main objectives in the Woodworking Shop is to teach a student how to handle his tools. For this reason the sh ' f th b - ' ' ' ' op is one o e est equipped in the school with machinery. , . ,fzdmv . -i f ly R' in -N an 13,5 1.

Big rugged Don McCallum pulled down All-City honors as first string tackle on the elite eleven. He was the largest man on the team, topping 6 feet 2 inches and weighing beyond 215 pounds. This year's squad was another proverbially hot and cold fighting machine, losing to such teams as Commerce and barely eking out a 6-6 tie with the eighth-place Cardi- nals, and then holding the second-place Iefferson team to a scoreless deadlock. Besides McCallum, the Techmen were sparked by such players as Tony Ruscitti, who made second string All-City, Don Nibblet, end, glue-fingered pass snatcherg Warren Gage, line bucking back, and guards, Carter and Iohnson. In its first pre-season struggle, September 22, a rugged Tech machine held a much favored Kelso squad to a U-U deadlock. Benson made five first downs to equal their opponents and made about the same amount of yardage, in what was an unusually rough game. Dick Williams, Tech quarterback, suffered a brain concussion which kept him from doing any real playing the rest of the season. The Orange and Blue showed a strong defense but a comparatively Weak offense. A week of practice patched up the weak spots and prepared the gridmen for the opener. A goodly number of Portlanders, 25,376 people, turned out for the grand grid opening at Multnomah Stadium, Saturday, September 28. All eight teams were present, each playing a quarter against a team selected by a drawing. Bands of all high schools performed before the large crowd in attendance.

COACH HEIN Q if-5ii'f 'F Q HSE... F wif? ff newsv- Washington was drawn as Tech's initial grid league opponent. Four first downs were registered by Coach Hein's boys in the first quarter at the stadium against none for the Washington team. Most of the quarter was played in the Colonials' end of the field, but the Techmen couldn't push the ball over the goal marker. Coach Ierry Exeley's boys came back with a vengeance the following Mon- day night, chalking up a tally in each of the remaining quarters to lead the Techmen 20-U. The Colonials found their way around our ends, but were stopped cold on the line by Ed Iohnson and Don McCallum, who played a grand game. Marble Cook's T-formation Democrats were next on the Mechanics' slate. A running, passing, driving Tech team held the upper hand but could only emerge with a 0-0 tie. Several serious attacks were made on Ieff paydirt but the Techmen just couldn't put the pigskin over. Main cog in the Benson offense was halfback Tony Rusicitti, showing uncanny marksmanship with a fine passing attack. A hapless Franklin team furnished the Orange and Blue's first offensive points as the Mechanics took a one-sided 20-U victory. Warren Gage, line plunger extraordinary, hit the middle of the line for the first six points. Circling the Franklin line, Tony Rusicitti went over for the second tally. A pass-from Rusicitti to Nibblett-furnished the third score for the Benson eleven. Grant took Benson in its championship stride, handing the Mechanics a stunning 32-6 drubbing. Grant went around the ends, through the line, or passed, Whichever was its pleasure, as the Techmen didn't even get started. The Generals' deceptive T-formation plays and clever ball handling completely baffled the Techmen. Their only score was made on a spectacular 24-yard trip to paydirt by Rusicitti. The surprised Benson grid eleven found itself on the short end of a 14-13 count after an encounter with the sixth-place Commerce squad. Ahead, 13-7, with only minutes to play in the last quarter, the Techmen attempted a pass, which was intercepted by All-City Kraus, of the Stenogs, who ran back to the Benson 25-yard marker. From there the determined Commerce eleven pushed over its needed six points. Kraus won the game with a conversion that split the goal posts. Tony Rusicitti's passing arm sparked the Orange and Blue's offense. Coming from behind in the second half the Mechanics took a close tilt from Roosevelt, 13-7. The Roughriders scored in the second quarter on a pass in the end zone. Then the Orange and Blue opened up and in the third period, after a series of runs by Gage and Rusicitti, a bullet pass to Niblett crossed the goal line. The Roughriders fought gamely, but couldn't keep track of Nibblett who caught another pass for the second score. Dick Carter, who backed up the line on defense and headed the forward wall on offensive, played the outstanding game of the day. A1 Schibel, Benson end, intercepted a Lincoln lateral and ran it to a touch- down for Benson's only score. Lincoln scored on a 10-yard pass into the end zone. Neither team made the conversion and the final score stood at 6 all, in the final game of the season. Next year will see many of the team returningg on the line, Schibel, Eastberg, Nibblett, Carter, in the backfield, Rusicitti, Parks, Williams, Gage, Kauffman. Iunior Football their first football championship in many years. This T year's team saw six victories and a tie. SBI , A championship squad of Babes brought home li. 4, ,f ,Aw S qv WW ff, 'N COACH PATTERSON 5. ,. f rr , Opening up in the first game, the little brothers brushed by Washington 7-U with Uloltin' loe Searcie sparking the team and packing the ball into position for quarterback Heston to plunge over. A pass from X I Wing to Smith added one more point to the score. Next the Babes marched over to lefferson to take a 25-U landslide from the Democrats and then met Franklin on the home field for another pushover, rolling up 28 points to the opponents isual U. The Grant Sergeants at last stopped the Babes but didn't beat them. The Babes kept the goal line uncrossed but couldn't get their machine going offen- sively. The Sergeants threatened a couple of times as did the Mechanics. With a final, hard-earned score of l4-7 the Blue and Orange racked up an- other win-this time over the second-place Stenogs of Commerce. Bill Powell led the Mechanics over the field with speedy end runs and one for 28 yards and six points. A pass to Childs accountd for the conversion. Then it finally hap- pened. The never-say-die Stenog squad roared back with a long pass and an easy jog for the receiver. The Commerce lads drew the first blood by any team against the powerful Benson squad. The Boughriders showed the lads their toughest battle of the season. The Roosevelt squad held the ball on our Zfyard line when that beautiful whistle sounded. Platt, on a line plunge, scratched pay dirt first and Searcie on a 7U- yard dash made the second touchdown. An easy 32-U trouncing of Lincoln wound up the season for the Babes. That also completed the duties of Ivan Childs, captain, and Phil Wing, who was call- ing the signals.

Starting off the season, the Mechanics traveled to Hill Military, where they took a l6 to 76 victory over the Cadets. Newcomb was first to break the tape with Backman second, Mitchell third, Extrorn fourth, and Baxter fifth. Commerce fell next as the Techmen took the first ll places. Again Newcomb placed first and Petrie second, Mitchell third, Backman ' fourth, Swayze fifth. Final score, l5-70. Franklin and Washington fought out second and third place honors as the Bensonites left them far behindg 59 for Franklin and 64 for Washington, while Benson scored a low 24. In this race Newcomb bettered his previous time l0 seconds to 9 minutes flat. Mitchell took third and Baxter moved up to fifth, while Don Oldenstadt nosed out Swayze for seventh. Slightly handicapped by the loss of their freshman star, the Hill and Dell team traveled to a wet, slushy track at Roosevelt where Petrie snapped the tape first, with Mitchell on his heelsg Backman placed third, Delanoy came through for a fifth and Swayze sixth. Petrie traveled the course in l0 rnin. 53 sec. Benson rolled up a low l7 points to Roosevelt's 50. Milwaukie witnessed a defeat of their home squad as Newcomb led the Ben- son squad across the finish line. Mitchell and Newcomb paced the race but Newcomb came through with his usual rocket finish and Mitchell took an easy second. Petrie beat out a Milwaukie man for fourth, and Bachman took fifth and Baxter eighth. Final score, Benson 2l, Milwaukie 40. The city championship was held on Wednesday, November 22, a bitter cold day for running, but the lads came through in grand style with 39 points while the closest opponent, Washington, had 53 The other schools trailed. Newcomb trailed in fifth spot rnost of the way, but put on his usual finish to break the tape 30 yds. in front of the second man, Newcomb covered the course in 9 min. 2l seconds.

Backman, Delanoy, and Thornburg completed the squad, all receiving letters. The Iunior squad didn't fare as well as the varsity, but pulled through with a second place in the city race, Extrom was first in for the Benson Iuniors and second in the city. This year's squad was coached by Co-Captain Keith Petrie, Bob Mitchell was the other Captain. Next year Newcomb, Bachman, Delanoy and Extrom willlbe back to defend the cup. This year's squad consisted of two three-year lettermen, Petrie and Swayze, and two two-year lettermen, Mitchell and Delanoy. The rest were one-year lettermen. Intramural Basketball Intramural sports were resumed this year by popular demand of the stu- dents, after having been discontinued for several years. Two basketball leagues were set up to reopen the competition betwen shops. The entry of twelve teams was divided into two leagues and the winners of each league played off for the pennant The American League was composed of Electric l-Z, Electric 3-4, Print Shop, Drawing Majors, Foundry l-2, and the league winners--Blacksmith, which won 5 and lost none. The National League was headed by Aviation, Machine, and Gas Engine. The three tied and a playoff was held in which Gas Engine won an l8-l2 victory over Aviation, which had won a forfeit game from Machine. Sheet Metal, Foun- dry 6-7, and Foundry 8-9 completed the league. In the final tilt between Gas Engine and Blacksmith, the Gas Engine five emerged l6-6 victors. After playing a tight first half which ended 5-4, the Black- smith squad gave way to a rolling Gas Engine team which averaged ll points to its opponents' 2, The victorious team was composed of Leighton, high point man, and Oldenstadt at forwards, Entenman, center, Thern and Sample, guards, The league was handled by a student manager, Tom Sly, under the direction of Coach Patterson. The referees and scorekeepers were also students. 1 .
