Forazeuuworfanm l.l.l.l.lfl-lnlnlslql-1'-Iololol-Ial-I-I-Iololof-I-Inlnf-I E present this book to you with the wish that we have left out no phase of our school life that would be of interest. In order to do this, We have excluded the Alumni. We also take this space to thank those who have made our year book possible. To heir. lililler, our adviser, Mr. Knowlton, our roving photographer, Bliss Hartman,'our English critic, and to the staff and pa- trons, we extend our thanks. Lastly, we hope that in years to come this book will hold a store of memories for all those associated with it for : With a steady swing and an open brow We have tramped the ways together, But we're clasping hands at the crossroads now In the Fiends own night for weather, And whether we bleed or whether we smile In the leagues that lie before us The ways of life are many a mile And the dark of Fate is o'er us. Here's luck ! And a cheer for the dark before us l RICHARD HOVEY.

Belles Jay McHenry E, the Senior Class of 194-0, wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to the members of the Board of Education for the excellent manner in which they have participated in the development of our school. VVe feel grateful for a school that offers a diversified program of work to meet the needs of a large number of pupils. Our school offers College Preparatory, General, Agriculture, and Home Economics Courses. In addition we have a well balanced program of extra-curricular activities which includes dramatics, musical organizations, and an athletic program for both boys and girls. This well balanced program of education is the result of the Board's long tenure with uninterrupted opportunities for development. At this time we wish to note the retirement of Mr. Fritz and Mr. Shannon and to greet Mr. McHenry and Mr. Cole, the newly elected members of the Board. Page 8 lPE3UlN1CUE9GM.0S IFINESSGFJGE E say that we go to school to receive a training for life. Yes, and yet, we surely live while we are in school and live vigorously. Few, if any, other years of our life bring us pleasures, joys and disappointments more vividly or in greater numbers. The staif has diligently gathered and presented through the medium of this book many of the outstanding features of this school year. They hope that they have given you a collection of memory refreshers that will bring you in- creasing pleasure through the years. Page 9 FGEDCHD L. R.

SEENIUQDES CHESS EHIKISTCCDGW WELVE years ago, in September, 1928, Benton's present school building opened its doors for the first time to students. Likewise at that time nineteen of our class with sixteen other eager youngsters began their school years. Nine years later as Freshmen our class, joined by pupils from surrounding school districts, again entered school as beginners, but this time, into high school. The task of being Freshmen seemed rather difficult at first, for we had to adjust ourselves to an entirely different routine which accounted for the fact that many of us found our- selves lost in the halls and late to classes. After a short time, however, we became more accustomed to our duties and organized under the supervision of Mrs. Beishline, nee Treasure, by electing Guild Conner, President, Donald Rabb, Vice President, John Umbewust, Secretaryg and Philip Ward, Treasurer. Then the Sophomores in accordance to custom welcomed us by an initiation which we dutifully returned by giving them a party. Thus received, we entered upon our initial high school year from which we gained much needed experience. Promptly beginning our Sophomore year we elected the following officers at our first meeting: James C. McHenry, President, Mary Kline, Vice President, Helen Meloy, Secretary, and Sterling Fritz, Treasurer. Our next important step was to initiate the Freshmen who returned the gesture with a party enjoyed by all. Many of the members of our class contributed to the amusement of the entire school in pre- senting a marionette show. The marionettes were made by members of the class and operated by them in scenes from George Eliot's Silas Marnerf' The scenes were also written by class members. To further display our literary ability we published the Saxon Sun, a newspaper based on Sir Walter Scott's novel, Ivanhoe, Among other activities in which we were well represented were athletics and the minstrel. Then we became Juniors with Mr. Sutliff standing by to offer wise council in many perplexing situations. In order that we might have a bond of unity among ourselves and to the school, we chose a class ring after thoughtful deliberation. For those desiring the gossip and general news about the school we published a monthly paper called the Jolly Junior Journal. Great pride was taken in presenting our class play, Life Begins at Sixteen, which proved both entertaining and lucrative. The merchants of the class provided helpful funds for our treasury by establishing a refreshment stand at the high school games. Other members revealed still further talent on the athletic field and in the musical and dramatical organizations. A most sucessful year was climaxed by the Junior-Senior Banquet. Our officers were: Harold Shultz, President, Jean Breece, Vice President, Betty Crossley, Secretaryg and Kenneth Kindig, Treasurer. Now as Seniors we have the privilege of being the first class to complete twelve years of education in Benton's new Public School. We extend our appreciation to those who have been in any way responsible in making these twelve years possible, for they have indeed been spent with pleasure. May the good fortune that has been ours be our successors', and may they gain the educational benefits possible in the Benton Vocational School. GUILD CONNER. Page CMEJSS me CEEFBS GUILD P.

We found our enrollment increased to fifty-four and we soon elected the following officers: DALE KILE President DREW Yosr Vice President ELEANOR Gmsco Secretary HAI4Pl MARsHALL Treasurer Our class was well represented on the baseball, basketball, and soccer teams. Other than in sports, we were active in all class activities, among them being the publishing of the school paper, The Bentonianf' The selection of our class rings was a rather trying process, but everyone seemed pleased with our selection. As has been the tradition, our class presented a class play. It was a comedy entitled Going on Seventeen. Another dramatic field claimed many of our members, the All American Minstrel. After these many pleasant experiences, the year was brought to a climax by the Junior-Senior Banquet. P326 24 S WFJQDEITHJ ERE M035 VVe, the Sophomore Class, having survived all the terrors and trials of the Fresh- man Year, are now full-fledged high school members and have conducted ourselves in a way we consider to be worthy of such a position. In our first meeting of the year, we elected the following class oiiicers: Cimniafzs Al'l'I,FIMAN - President IDONALD I,UNu1-zu Vice President LIARIAN SHANNON - Secretary LILLIAN Yos'r - Treasurer On November 17, 1939, we initiated the Freshman Class, and we are proud to state that the orchestra used for the initiation was composed entirely of our own class members. Other class social activities of the year have included the participation in the All School Party and attendance at the Theater Party which was given us by the Freshmen. Our class has been well represented in the orchestra, the band, and the various athletic teams of the school. VVc all hope to be back at Benton High School to complete the next to the last lap of our high school education and trust that our Junior year will be as pleasant as the others have been.

Page 26 GUCTUWUTUES E ECQENIQHUDUCS Each morning about eleven o'clock, when parts of the school building are being filled with delicious odors of food, pupils as well as teachers find themselves wishing lunch time were not so far off. The cafeteria lunch line is formed at twelve o'clock and includes boys a11d girls from the first to the twelfth grades. Each person pays the nominal sum of five cents for each serving of food that he desires for lunch. The school lunch, under the direction of Esther McHenry, is planned, prepared, and served by girls of the Junior Class who have elected the Home Economics Course. Responsibility for planning each day's lunch is assumed by a small group of girls selected to serve for a period of nine weeks. Thus, the school cafeteria offers con- venience to those who desire a warm, nourishing noon time meal as well as training in planning a balanced diet, judgment in buying food, and experience in the actual preparation of tasty meals.

Through these trips each pupil is given direct contact with the many agricultural enterprises that are being conducted in our community. The machine shown in the picture is a modern potato grader operated on the farm of Mr. Roy Hess. The potatoes are placed on an elevator which carries them over a sizing chain where the small potatoes are separated from the large. Two men stand beside the second incline of revolving rollers and pick out defective or damaged potatoes which are revealed by the turning process. The clean, graded potatoes then drop through a rubber matted funnel into clean, attractive paper sacks. A few of these paper sacks are shown filled with 15 pounds of potatoes ready for market. They bear the blue label which represents a United States number grade. Labels of other colors are representative of lower grades. Potato grading is being done more thoroughly and efficiently in Pennsylvania than ever before. As a result of the establishment of new grading procedures, and growers observing these methods in their packing, the remote consumer is able to procure a much higher quality pack of potatoes.

R oberta Broschart This year's play had such a large cast of characters that over half of the Senior Class took part. Janey Browne, a sweet serious girl of eighteen who prided herself on her one-track mind, had finished high school and had come to live with her married brother, hoping to find a position in the nearby city. Three weeks of job hunting convinced Janey that her quest was hopelessg so, fearing a college educa- tion would be too much of a strain on her parents, she decided she would get married.

Eleanor Hess Of course she didn't know whom she would marry, but soon afterward she met Martin Richardson, a prosperous young bachelor, who was an old friend of her brother. Miss Browne decided Martin would be the solution to all her troubles. In order to attract his attention, she took glamour lessons with a number of other girls. In the meantime she met a local boy, Stuart Hunter, who owned a rabbit farm. After having tried her glamour on Mr. Richardson with little success, she decided Stuart was the best after all, for with him the world was a place full of opportunities. To Mrs. McHenry we extend our thanks for her capable direction of both our Senior and our Junior Dramas.

These twenty pupils make up our Senior Orchestra whose presence adds greatly to our numerous programs and assemblies. This organization, swollen to the largest number in its history, has improved this year in quality as well as quantity. From the Junior Orchestra, members are chosen to Hll the vacancies and increase the size and volume of the larger body of musicians. We, the graduating Class of Benton Vocational School, appreciate the intrinsic value of this organization and extend our congratulations to Mr. William Knowlton, music director, whose untiring energy has built our orchestra to its present size. Page 34 IGMNIID 1940 marks the second year the Benton High School Band has been organized. During these two years notable progress has been made under the excellent supervision of Mr. VVilliam Knowlton. This can be shown by the fact that many of the members were taught to play their instruments after the organization of the band, but never- theless the band has been successfully giving concerts as well as aiding the athletic teams with spirited music. In addition fifteen members have been selected to partici- pate in the All-County Band. The promise of still further advancement seems in order for the coming year as only three of the present thirty members will be gradu- ating this term. To fill any vacancies so occuring, Mr. Knowlton has already begun a Junior Band.

The 1939 girls' basketball season opened soon after school started with twenty- five girls reporting to the sounding whistle. A good team requires diligent practice and observance of training rules. Each candidate reported with these essentials in mind. The squad this year was built around two veteran players, one guard and one forward. The remainder were recruits from the Junior Varsity. The schedule differed from those of previous years in that only those schools in the County north of the river without gymnasiums entered teams in the outdoor competition. Owing to a smaller number of teams in the league, each school was played twice. After two weeks practice the uniforms were given out preparatory to the opening game with Orangeville, our chief rival. This game proved to be very exciting as well as close. At the final whistle Benton stood ahead by two points. Following the opening game diligent efforts to develop team play and good physical condition enabled us to finish the schedule undefeated and to win the outdoor championship for the 1939 season. To the Junior Varsity and the remaining veterans, the class of 19410 wishes endless success. To you we leave the task of carrying the name of Benton forward. SCORES Benton 15 Orangeville .,..,.,.
