Xu Q, N 3 X X r v A real inspiration for the main show theme, The Spirit of Benton, set the pace for a better-than-ever County Fair this year in which the traditions and thrills of an earlier day were happily combined with the swing music and intricate dancing of the present. Comedians in clothes resembling a cartoonist's dream, a junior high chorus in frilly aprons over gingham dresses, senior high dancers buttoned into tight white dress-coats, pretty girls in dainty form- als, an orchestra full of toe-tickling tunes, a stir- ringly patriotic finale built around Irving Berlin's l'God Bless America, with R. O. T. C. officers in steel helmets! Yessir, When you saw that show, you knew you'd been somewhere. 3 x A pw-warm 'L- Page Eight The audience was loud in its praise oi the backdrop. designed and painted by senior high art pupils. It represented in a typically modem way the multiple activities ot the school. Equally beautiful were the songs and dances oi the Indian prologue which opened the show.

E. Dale takes care of the destinies of the St, loseph school system. Mr. Dale, besides being a genial, friendly person, is an able school man familiar through experience with all the prob- lems of the schools in his charge. His aim has always been to provide every possible opportunity for the city's youth to become educated citizens. ln this effort he has been encouraged and assisted by the board of education, six local business men and women, whose motto seems to be Worth while citi- zens-to-be for the City Worth While. Both Superintendent Dale and the board of education deserve a special thank you for the time and thought they have given to Benton's new build- ing. lts planning, construction, and equipment have been done under their careful supervision.

The Girls' Glee Club can be counted on to make the Christmas program ot carols, Bible story, and special numbers a beautiful one. The Boys' Glee Club gives a program and special numbers at assemblies. The mixed chorus helps with the Easter music, lt the greatest joy is service, these songsters should be happy ones for they do inuch to provide pleasure for others. Much praise is due to the corps ot accompan- ists who assist them so capably. BOYS' GLEE CLUB GIRLS' GLEE CLUB MIXED CHORUS ACCOMPANISTS: PRICE. KIN'G, SCOTT.

SENIOR HIGH ART CLASS SENIOR HIGH ART CLUB NINTH GRADE ART 1940 ANNUAL ART STAFF EIGHTH GRADE ART FUR WA T OF A NAIL So busy and important that they rate a house of their own, the Industrial Arts boys carry on a varied and soul-satisfying program, the envy and despair of other less fortunate classmates. They learn to handle tools without disaster to thumbs and shins. They build bird houses, mail boxes, or lawn furniture. When they feel the urge, they design furniture in mechanical drawing class and later bring it to life in the workroom. They get an artists thrill in putting on the finish and rubbing it to perfection. Iust what a boy likes to do, happily combined with useful production and, in many cases, with a,life-long avocation! Besides, here's one field in which men can still lord it over the women. K. X.

The new Benton in the valley to the east is so sit- uated that it has been constantly under scrutiny by the folks on the hill. A beauty truly worthy of being stared at, this new home of ours. Stretching north and south like a capital E, its gym wing forms the upper bar, its main entrance, the middle one, and the auditorium wing, the lower one. lnside are offices, laboratories, studios, and work shops that are the last word in modern equipment. The library is such a gracious room that even our dullest friend will want to read there, The cafeteria, the R. O. T. C. rifle range, the stage dressing rooms-whatever one's pet hobby may be, it is taken care of in this fine new structure. To the east lie the playgrounds and athletic field. Even a parking lot.
