Tlllll TVETERA S IN BEHALF OF BENSON'S VETERAN STUDENTS We, the veteran students of Benson Polytechnic School, have returned with one plan in mind-to further our education. When we were in the service we realized what an education would mean to us. With help from the Federal and State governments we again have the opportunity to go to school, with expenses paid. Our ages range from nineteen to twenty-one. As a whole our attitude is different from that of the other students because we realize that we can not afford to waste money and that with each year we grow older. Most of us are seventh and eighth termers, but we also have a few post- graduates. School seems hard to most of us because of the fact that we have been away from it for so long. We appreciate the extra help which most of the teachers give us and we intend to use this help to the best advantage. We do feel it a privilege and an honor to attend school. He who dares, conquers nations, builds bridges, plants into the human breast hope eternal. He who has not dared has not lived. He who has dared and- failed is far rirher mzzl greater in experience though he may li-ve in sorrow, pain and humiliation. -George Welleslejf, Jr. 4 fsfx far'

A The students of Benson are extremely fortunate in having such a capable and under- standing faculty to instruct them in their various academics and shops. Benson's teachers are specialists in their respective fields and the intelligent training given the boys by these professionals has proven and is proving of invaluable aid in their careers. . We, of the Ianuary '47 graduating class, Wish ina small way to give our sincerest thanks for the unfailing patience with which our teachers for four years have guided and instructed us. t u i We sincerely believe thatsno one could have been fairer or finer than they have been. i 2 2:7
