ROW l: MR. SHOTWELI., MR. MATHESON, MR. BIDWELL, MR. PATTERSON, MH. ARNOLD. World War II Veterans Clfacultyl Because Benson is an all-boys technical school it was hit particularly hard during the war. 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.
