SENIUPI CLI-ISS HISTORY Four short and happy years ago we set forth in this building as a new class, tried in former grades and dedicated to the proposition that knowledge paves the way to success. Now we are about to be graduated, carrying with us the education gleaned from books and experiences, and hoping that we may earn for ourselves enviable positions in the world. We have studied on common ground with common impediments, we have, co- operatively and singularly, accomplished many things, and it is only fitting and proper that we here review them, that our recollections may never become dulled. Willingly, but a trifle awkwardly, we offered ourselves to our fate as genuine high school students and were exceedingly grateful for the understanding guidance of Mrs. Vivian Beishline who led us through the year with few mishaps. In a short time we elected the following officers to conduct our business: President, Franklin Klaseg Vice President, Thomas Diltzg Secretary, Zane McHenry, Treasurer, Charles Ash. Until we became familiar with the school routine, we must admit we presented typical examples of green freshmen, but as the year progressed our true merits became known. With the Initiation Party which the tried and true Sophomore Class presented to us, with the party we proudly returned to the Sophomores, and the athletics and other activities available to us we were kept well occupied all through the year. ln the following, our Sophomore year, we had shed our timid exterior and had advanced to the more noble stages of full fledged high school students. We were piloted through this memorable year first by Miss Laura Stevens, and later by Mrs. Blanche Hartman whose tireless efforts somewhat confined our exalting spirits within the boundaries of proper conduct for well behaved young ladies and gentlemen. We had not progressed far into our Sophomore year when, as duty commanded, we took it upon ourselves to initiate the yearly crop of lowly Freshmen who soon returned like for like and entertained us very jovially at a party. This year the annual Minstrel cast was studded with several Sophomore stars. Our officers for this year were: President, Bruce Penmang Vice President, Byron Labour, Secretary, Franklin Klaseg Treasurer, James Edson. As Juniors in the following year, our class was considerably increased in size by the welcome students from various surrounding schools. This year we found the presence of Mr. Sutliff an ever ready store of discipline and advice. Soon we selected our officers, who were: President, Dale Kileg Vice President, Drew Yostg Secretary, Eleanor Crisco, Treasurer, Hale Marshall. In accordance with the custom of former classes we carefully chose a class ring to serve to further bind us to our rich, full life here. To an appreciative public we proudly displayed our dramatic talent in the successful production of our class play, Going on Seventeen. Further merits were won on the athletic field by several of our members. This very eventful, never to be forgotten year was climaxed by our Junior-Senior Banquet. The task of putting into practice what we have thus far learned now remains before usg and it is much more serious, more difficult than any we have yet experienced. But it is hoped that we have not studied in vain, that some of our knowledge has been indelibly printed on our hearts and minds, now, as we leave Benton Vocational School, we extend to it our fullest measure of appreciation and the sincere hope that our good fortune may be inherited by our successors.
