Always ready to help on any project to further the interests of the class, these teachers have earned the gratitude of the entire group. One of the major projects of the senior year is the maintenance of the concessions stand. Al- though the weather during the football season Wasn't too good, a crew, with Clarence Erickson as manager, did a wonderful job of bringing in the shekels. Graduating seniors not appearing on the following pages are Robert Dittemore, Delores Huffman, Erwin Hughes, Bob Pickerel, and John Swanson.

CORONATION CEREMON IES At the first home game of the year, the evening of September 19, before a throne set up under the north goal posts on the athletic field, Darlene 'Halpain was crowned Miss Benton '48. Maurice Lytle, student body president, presided, instructed the new queen in the responsibilities of her office and presented her wi-th a bracelet, the gift of the student body, as a token of their esteem and trust. In a brief but touching response Darlene accepted her duties and pledged herself to uphold the best interests of the school. The ceremony opened with a proces- sional headed by the band. The Cardinal football squad, an R. O. T. C. detachment and a color guard followed. Preceding the queen came the senior ttwelvej maids of honor, Barbara Adams, Patsy Grace, joan Louthian, and Zoe Anne De- Noon, dressed in white wool with gold accessories. Tenth and eleventh grade attendants, Cora Carr, Janette Taylor, Joyce Goin, and Agnes VVright wore the traditional school colors, red and white. Pages from the junior high were Artis Shepherd and Janice Lawrenson. Charles Hollingsworth and Rich-ard Lanning served as trumpeters. After the ceremonies, a record breaking crowd stood at attention for the flag raising and joined in singing the national anthem played by the band. The game which followed was an exciting affair, the guest team, the Savannah Savages, losing Z6-O to the Redbirds.
