VANDERSLOOT, 1893-1938 HERE is nothing adequate that we can say or write concerning the passing of our loved principal, Fred E. Vandersloot. With him passes, ,E in a sense, the Benton of the last twenty-three years, for Mr. Vandersloot was Benton, and Benton was Mr. Vandersloot in a great degree.

Une of his final admonitions to his students and teachers was, If it's good for 4 Benton, do it. And now he is gone. A city mourns his loss, for he was a Christian gentleman, a high- principled, and home-loving citizen. A community mourns, for the South Side always found him helpful, co-operative, and loyal in community enterprises. A school mourns, for love is a rare and priceless gift, and Mr. Vandersloot loved his school. Benton will go on, perhaps to new scenes, to new problems, to a different way of life.
