STUDENT LIFE P.B. Springer Gymnasium roof collapses The Student Body’s first reaction when the roof of the new gym collapsed was “I don’t believe it. It’s just a rumor started to liven up a dull Thursday afternoon.” It wasn’t long, though before the whole student body knew that it was no joke. The roof of the beautiful Pop Springer Gymnasium had actually fallen to the floor. Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Beemer moved their gym classes out of the gym and into the auditorium when they first thought there might be some danger. The only warning of the collapse was a pop- ping noise in the ceiling and the fact that the backboards looked a little too low. These things might never have been noticed had the gym been filled with people, and sheer timing saved the lives of possibly hundreds of people. n 12 • m Collapse of gym roof causes numerous problems The collapse of the gym brought some immediate prob- lems. It left the Cardinal basketball team with no place to play their Friday night games as well as no place to practice. The P.E. classes had to develop a whole new schedule cen- tered around the old gym, which already held classes. Area schools offered their facilities as well as their sympathy. The student body had to have their basketball Queen crowned on a foreign court. One of the biggest problems, however, was not immediate. The senior class had to decide where to hold their graduation. After the gym roof fell the Cardinals faced a whole semester of small problems and big inconveniences which caused the Class of “71” to graduate in Missouri Western’s gymnasium. 13 Right: Shown is 'lwila’s tearful reaction when in- formed that she had been elected Miss Benton.

The Benton Singers opened the Harvest Moon talent show with a bouncy rendition of “Cabaret”, which was the theme of the entire program. Two programs were presented. The master of ceremonies was Dave Brown. His co-host for the first presentation was Chuck Gilmore. During the second performance the co-host was Shane McDonald. Vocal solos were performed by Debbie Snook, Alice Ray, Diana Bur- chett, Davida Kinder, Linda Bell, and Becky Branson. Other acts included an interpretive dance by Pam Christ, a guitar solo by Danny Meyer, a vocal duet by Becky Branson and Chuck Gilmore, and a pantomime by Gary Elder. Comedy skits were presented by Ronnie Burks and Dave Brown, Buddy Davis and James Newson, and the Red Bird Art Players. The program was directed by Mr. David L. Farris and Mr. John Hoffman. Technical advisors were Mr. Robert Dyche, Mr. Jay Edwards, and Mr. Don Lentz. The accompanists were Josephine Vasquez, Mimi McAndrews, and Alice Ray. Above: Ronnie Burks conversed with Josephine Vasquez before going on stage in his role as W.C. Fields. Right: Danny Meyer played a guitar solo, “Gassical Gas”. IS The can-can girls Amelia Olvera, Vickie Sullivan, and Roxanne Pendleton did their routine to “T ra-la-la-Boom-de-A”. A member of the Red Bird Art Players, Darrel Jackson, did impersonations of Ed Sullivan and John Wayne. A comedy skit “Geraldine” was presented by Jim Newson and Buddy Davis. Alice Ray sang “As Long as He Needs Me.” 19 New concepts in assemblies captivate students Assemblies this year ranged from a marion- ette show based on the play, Man of La Mancha, to a Japanese Christmas play fea- turing the second hour dramatics class. Folksingers and naturalists both shared the stage of Benton High School during the 1970-71 school year. 20 Santa Claus discreetly disguises himself as Coach Lehman for a visit during the Christ- mas Dance. Rick was Rudolf for Christmas dance Benton students attending the Christmas Dance on Decern ber 22, in the old gym, dance to the music of the Common Few. During the intermission Mr. Hoffman entertained with a visit from Elvis Presley. Rick Brown was chosen Mr. Rudolf and reigned over a well-decorated gym for the Christmas dance. 21 Christa Lehmann visitor at Benton Christa Lehmann attended Benton as a foreign exchange student. Christa is from Marburg Lahn Germany and spent the school year living with her uncle. Dr. Martin H. Christ, and his family. Christa received no credit for her work here at Benton and had to complete her schooling in Germany. Christa really enjoyed her year in the states but regretted the lack of outdoor fun and exercise.

Students represent Benton in many ways Benton High School students participated in varied activities this year; Sophomore Pilgrimage, Girl’s and Boy’s State, Little United Nations, and a special effort was made by one senior, Mike Slavin, to attend West Point. Sophomore Pilgrimage consisted of a tour of the Jefferson City’s capitol building. Girl's and Boy’s State participants learned about federal government by setting up replicas of governmental insti- tutions. The Little United Nations held a meeting and debated world issues by assigning each school a country to represent. Michael Slavin after three years of effort was recommended and accepted as alternate to West Point this year.

Benton students are no different. They hold down after school jobs as sales clerks, bag boys, doughnut sackers, and deliv- ery boys. Students often feel they don’t have enough money for the things they need and are reluctant to ask their par- ents so they get jobs to pay for their car, buy a new ward- robe or even put themselves through college.

ACTIVITIES 27 Don Christie Student Body Vice President Larry Grinstead Student Body President Barbara Butcher Student Body Secretary Twila Polsgrove Student Body Treasurer Council Challenged Tlic 1970-71 Student Council lived a year filled with challenge and hard work. The student council and several interested stu- dent body members worked hard on the student council constitution. These people devoted part of their spare time to make their constitution fair, democratic, and worthwhile for the student council mem- bers, student body, faculty, and administra- tion. They worked under the supervision of Mr. Foley and Mr. Hager, (left) the student council sponsors. Other student council members wrapped and staked the trees along the boulevard which had been pur- chased by the home rooms last year. The student council also sponsored the Christ- mas dance and Spirit Week. Above: Student Body Officers held an executive meeting in preparation for the student council meeting. They planned topics for discussion for the next meeting of the Student Council.

Hager Charles Endsley Roxanne Pendleton Barb Butcher Linda Reece Advisor President Vice-president Secretary Treasurer Noblesse Oblige: Noble Rank Requires Honorable Conduct Leadership, scholarship, service and character are traits re- quired of National Honor Society members and yet, this year’s members decided early that these traits must be used to be of any benefit to the world in which they live. Therefore, they started the initial meetings betweeen all the high schools to plan a Peace and Brotherhood Week for the city. The members regularly visited nursing homes and talked with the shut-ins and convalescents, they planned a teacher appreciation day and provided gifts and refresh- ments for the faculty. 31 Below: Debbie Euler answered the telephone with the proverbial quote; Benton High School, student speaking.

Interact Provides Service The Interact Club is an organization of high school boys sponsored by the South Side Rotary. The main goals of this years Interact club were to finan- cially support the club and to serve the community. Some of the groups activities were mounting flags for southside merchants on holidays, col- lecting funds for the Cancer Society, donating money to needy families, and raising money to build a school in an underdeveloped overseas country. Above: Placemats depicting scenes of Missouri were sold as a money-making project 37 Frances Bastza sold a Benton flag to Don Crowder. Prometheans made and sold flags The original purpose of the Prometheans Club was to discuss current events. This year’s club focused on current events with participation in social activities. The club held its annual picnic in the spring and its Halloween party in Octo- ber. In December, club member David Brown shared with Prometheans his experience as a Foreign Exchange Stu- dent in Denmark. One of Prometheans major projects was the making and sell- ing of Benton flags. Profits from this went to the National Honor-Promethe- ans scholarship fund. 38 Below: Prometheans cavorted around the Christmas tree.

French club sponsored activities Benton’s French Club was formed to further the student’s knowledge of France and its language. Officers for this year were: Steve Stevenson, President; Rhonda Whittington, secretary; Bill Brown, Vice-president; and Jesse Campbell, treasurer. Some of the club’s projects were, a bake sale, initiation party for new members, and caroling during the Christmas season. 40 Spanish club serves, learns, and enjoys. The activities of the Spanish Club were both educational and social. Meeting twice monthly in homes of its members, the club fulfilled its objectives of learn- ing more about Spanish and having fun doing it. The Spanish Club also did several service projects to help their school and community. At left: Spanish Club officers; Andrea Sparks, secretary; Stacey Crawford, vice president; Gayle King, treasurer; Julie Jackson and Paul Elo, sergeant-at-arms; and Jennie Mc- Kinnon, president; anxiously waited to eat their refreshments.

Red Bird Art Players work, act and play The Red Bird Art Players, Benton’s own drama club, had an exciting year while participating in the dramatic side of school life. Their many projects included acting in school produc- tions as well as serving as members of stage and scene painting crews. For the Harvest Moon, the R.B.A.P. used their many talents to create original skits and scene designs. They also helped in many capacities during the all school play serving as actors, stage and technical crew members and just all around help. Mr. John Hoffman served as advisor. 42 The officers were Alice Ray, president; James Newson, vice-president; and Roxanne Pendleton, secretary. Melanie Jones, treasurer is not pictured. 43 Benton Singers aim high The Benton Singers of 1970-71 set their goals high. They chose a most wonderful, unattainable goal and worked hard for it. They chose as their goal a trip to Europe. And as if that wasn’t enough, they chose to perform when they got there. The Benton Singers were twenty-one stub- born, hard working, high aiming students of all ages and backgrounds. Whether they made it to Europe is of little im- portance now. The fact that they even tried to tackle such a task was the impor- tant thing. If determination counts for anything, they succeeded. Far left: the Benton Singers participated in the Harvest Moon.

The staff advisor was Mr. Robert Dyche. Co-editors were Debbie Crawford and Chuck Gilmore. Members of the staff were: Karen Vannaman, Debbie Euler, Enola Wilson, Steve Steven- son, Kevin Jones, Susie McLaughlin, Connie Sell, Linda Reece, Dennis Hughes, Cindy Zeltwanger, Jenny Ray, Dan Elo, Danny Johnson and Steve Hurst. 4« Staff Modernizes Appearance of Wahwahlanawah February 15, 1971 is a date etched in the memories of thirteen people, the Wahwah- lanawah staff. For five months, these thirteen people met each day during the seventh hour to create this book. At last, the book was completed on Feb. 15 and sent away for publication. The staff was headed by co-edi- tors, Charles Endsley and Frances Baszta and advised by Mr. Lawrence Hager. This was a year of change for the yearbook and its staff. The traditional layout style was abandoned and a more contemporary style, the “mosaic” was adopted to give the book a more modern appearance. By sending Frances Baszta and Karen Gwinn to a Yearbook Workshop at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis in the summer and by attending a Yearbook Seminar at the Roubidoux Hotel in November, the staff learned the latest techniques in yearbook production. Mr. Hager often pointed out an approaching deadline to his staff. 48 Carrie Watkins Rhonda Powers Co-editor, in charge of produc- Editor-in-chicf, elect tion, elect Karen Gwinn Copy editor, elect Alice Ray Copy editor BUI Million Assistant photographer Cathy Novak File clerk Alan Paden Assistant photographer 49 Left: The editors tallied the number of completed pages.

These activities included the Honor Guard, First Year Honor Guard, Rifle Team, Military Police, Weapons Assembly Competition, Color Guard, and Firing Squad. All these activities required additional effort on the part of the cadet as they practiced long hours and concen- trated to maintain the pride of their unit, battalion and school. Over the years Benton’s R.O.T.C. groups have proved “Benton is Second to None.” man Spangler, Gary Christie, Kyle Morris. Back row: Bob Tilman, Commanders Brad Miller and Mark Albec.

Starting with the 1971-72 school year, R.O.T.C. will no longer be a required subject for any boy but an elective. For those students who have already had R.O.T.C. you may remember that one of the pet questions of the inspect- ing officer during the Federal Inspection was “How do you like R.O.T.C.? Are you going to take it next year?” Judging by the change in the program, it seems that maybe a majority of the cadets replied “No Sir.” Upper left: Battalion S-3, Maj.

Several girls of the freshman class showed interest in becoming cheerleaders, and attended a clinic given by the reserve and varsity squads. They were then screened by the freshman class, and six cheerleaders were chosen. They not only cheered at all the freshman home games and several out of town games, but also led the class of “74” during Spirit Week. The varsity squad consisting of five members worked together with the six members of the reserve squad to work up routines and skits for pep assemblies and cheers for all varsity games. The reserve cheerleaders cheered at the reserve games both at home and out of town. They also jointly held a dance as a fund rais- ing project. The sponsor, Mrs. Ferrcl Bccmcr, helped make the cheerleaders an organization of enthusiasm and spirit which led our teams to victory.

Next year the team should be returning with fifteen varsity lettermen. Benton’s wrestlers spent this year improving on last year’s record and with luck and determination they should keep improving on their record. 69 Cross Country takes MEC Cross Country first became an organized sport at Benton in 1970. The team came through with an eleven-four record, won the Midland Empire Conference, and placed thirteenth in the district. The varsity team was composed of five sophomores, two juniors, and one senior. It was hampered by several in- juries but with hard work and a good attitude it pulled through with a fine record. At the end of the season the cross coun- try team presented the first traveling cross country trophy to Mr. Bowen. Top left: Coach Clemens conducts the cross country team.

Each game followed the same basic pat- tern with the Cardinals jumping to an early lead and maintaining it for the dur- ation of the game. Although the other teams seemed aggressive and quite sure of themselves, our varsity squad shut them down with an amazing display of skill and good sportsmanship. At top left: Mike White shoots high over an op- posing man’s rush.

ACADEMICS 85 86 Dr. Gerald Troester, Superintendent of schools School board revised dress code The main office of the St. Joseph school district revised and rewrote the student dress code to allow more free- dom in dress style for both boys and girls. Pant suits, mustaches, and long sideburns appeared legally for the first time. This was one of the many things changed and improved by the St. Joseph school board. School board: (Back row): Dr. Thomas White, Mr. J. W. Roberts, Mr. James Watson, Dr. Gerald Troestcr, Mr. Robert F. Kcatley. (Front row): Mr. Hubert Camp- bell, Mr. G. M. Coleman, Mrs. Paul Knepper, and Mr. James E. Robertson. Mr. G. M. Coleman, Assistant Superinten- dent in charge of Instruction and Curricu- lum. Mr. Hubert Campbell, Secretary of the Board of Education. Administration challenges, chooses, and cares. Benton’s administration learned quickly that the 1970-71 school year would be filled with challenges, choices and changes, not only for the administration but for the students as well. Mr. Bowen, Mr. Thedinga, and Mrs. Giddens guided Ben- ton through many changes. The dress code was revised to allow girls to wear slacks, the curriculum changed, and the Student Council constitution changed. The North Central Evaluation was an added challenge that involved the admini- stration. Aside from the big incidents that go on in any high school our admini- stration has the usual small things that they do to keep the school running. Mrs. Giddens, Dean of Girls, ran the attendance office with the ease and efficiency of one who has had experience. Mr. Thedinga, vice principal, acted as Dean of Boys and took care of most disciplinary action. Mr. Bowen, principal, kept the school moving despite the many problems that occured. Benton had an administration that cared, and they proved it by working hard for Benton and its students. Mr. Thedinga was always ready to help Benton students any- where at anytime. His attitude of meaningful concern and good humored co-operation made him an easy to talk to member of the administration. 89 Mr. Wilcox prepared his self eval- uation including college back- ground and professional activities. Above: The multi-media committee chaired by Mr. Foley inventoried the school’s library materials as well as audio-visual supplies. Right: Mrs. Barbara Zuchowski was assigned to Benton as a special secretary to prepare the North Central Report. 90 A year of evaluation The 1970-71 school year provided a variety of activities for the faculty and staff. This was the year for a self-evaluation for the North Central Association an accrediting agency for high schools and colleges. This self-study is required at least once every seven years. Above: Members of the Steer- ing Committee met to choose the thirty members of the eval- uating team while below: Mr. Hoffman and Miss Quigley dis- cussed the student activity program and evaluated its ef- fectiveness. 91 Chuck Gilmore and Buddy Davis repre- sented the student body on the Student Activity Committee. 92 Members of the Social Studies department consulted the North Central material in prep- aration for evaluation of the department. Left: Miss Ruth Campbell and Mr. Wel- come Groh inspected the heating system and consulted Mr. Cliff Groshong, head en- gineer. School combined efforts Students, teachers and staff all com- bined their efforts to make a thorough investigation of the school plant, vari- ous aspects of the curriculum and the multi-media services. 93 The faculty found time to work and relax Below: Miss Estes was just one of the many teachers who enthusiastically supported the football team by attending the games—no matter how bad the weather.

We wonder at someone who had taught so much. She had taught history yes, but many other things as well. She had taught English, manners, and speech; she had taught local history, Benton’s history, the school song, school rules, and living in general. We thank Miss Campbell not because she had so much, but because she had shared it. to.

Miss Ritchey gave a pop quiz as Larry Robertson searched for the answers. 102 Language arts teaches communication Benton’s language arts department had several goals. One was to teach students how to use their language effectively. In a time when communication was very important the language arts teachers worked hard to make their students realize that through language they could make their thoughts clear and their words concise. 103 Right: Mrs. Green conducted her classes with experienced ease. Below: Mr. Hoff- man demonstrated the techniques of pre- senting a speech. Right: Mrs. Vaughn held class in one of the new language arts classrooms. New resource center for language arts The language arts department grew this year with the addition of the new language arts resource center. 1970-71 marks the second year that the language arts classes had included a large number of semester courses, such as poetry, creative writing, and style and structure. Teachers in the language department were striving to teach students to use their language effective- ly- Above: Mrs. Boyer taught her class humor and understanding while also teaching them the effective use of the English language. Right: Bill Burkcrt pondered all the wonderful know- ledge displayed in Miss Bregin's American literature class. 105 Auxier referees game Spanish students found Miss Auxier’s classes far from dull this year. Class work ranged from books, to singing, to “chalkboard football”. The two Spanish I and one Spanish II classes found a little bit of Spain in Room 202. Above: Miss Auxier found teaching a pleasure. Right: Debbie Jiminez and Steph- anie Szczcpanik study their song sheets as they prepare for a Spanish song fest. 106 Visual aids supplement board work French students found Mr. Dyche’s teaching methods slightly unorthodox but thoroughly enlightening. Visual aids were used extensively as a supple- ment to board work as were audio aides such as tapes. 107 Above: The Benton High School Band. Right: The Majorettes. Front row, left to right: Karen Murphy and Terri Stafford. Back row: Carolyn Pigg and Cassy Schurman. Far right: Mr. John Reece, Band Director. 108 Band tried new approach Service is a word that could have de- fined Benton High School’s Band that performed at football games, at assem- blies, and in parades in disagreeable weather. The band provided Benton students with not only traditional but also contemporary music. The Majorettes and the Pep Band both added a driving force to our school spirit. 109 Sing along with David The Music Department of Benton, under the direction of David L. Farris, included the concert choir, girls chorus, and mixed chorus. Performances by the concert choir and girls chorus in the fall “mod concert” entertained and im- pressed the student body and faculty. Besides meeting every day during class time for rehearsal the concert choir did out- side work as a performing group. Officers of the choir were Chuck Gilmore, president; Ted Markt, vice-president; Alice Jean Ray, secretary-treasurer; and Jim Newson, Linda Reece, and Becky Branson, librarians. no Ill Art Department: Center of creativity The Art Department was Benton’s center of creativity. With Mrs. Berger supervising their work, students worked various media into visible expressions of their personalities. The new stereo provided the stimulus required by aspiring young artists since it provided a relaxed atmosphere neces- sary for imaginative works. 113 114 New courses improve social studies curriculum Traditional social studies courses were altered this year to provide necessary variety by the creation of several new semester courses. One of these new courses was Ancient and Medieval Man, which also provided on location archeologi- cal experience. The United Nations course provided for an independent study of three nations, Chad, Greece, and Hon- duras, which were represented by Benton at the Little United Nations meeting in Topeka, Kansas. Far East, Great Plains, and State and Local History provided for the study of specific geographical areas. However, the Social Studies Department was never dull with industrious teachers, such as Mr. Dennis Richey, who kept busy with activities such as scrubbing the school’s emblem. Social studies department works and plays Besides ordinary classroom learning situations, social stud- ies students found many unusual and enjoyable experiences in the social studies department. Below: Ronnie Smith tested an antiquated device for calming the insane found in the museum at the State Hospital, which was toured by the Psychology classes. Right: Mr. Nelson took roll. Below right: Christmas carols were sung around the Christmas tree by Mr. Nelson’s Social Studies IV class. 116 Above: Mr. Wilcox wrote an outline for his S.S. IV class on the board.

Top: Mr. Chatfield slyly rubbed his hands together as he had stumped an Algebra II student. 118 The math department wasn’t too angry after all being herded together in the library. Left: Joan Goacher worked very hard to show her fellow students that trigonometry equations could be proved. Masculine Math Department The six men above were most likely the fastest, most accurate adders, subtractors, multipliers, and dividers in Benton High School. From left to right: Mr. Chatfield, Algebra and senior math teacher; Mr. Leh- man, Mr. Poff, Mr. Modis, Algebra 1 teachers, Mr. Saunders, Geometry teacher, and Mr. Lentz, Algebra I teacher. Each course is designed and planned to further the students knowledge in mathematics. One unit of mathematics is required of every student for graduation. Geometry, Algebra II or senior math are electives for students interested in continuing their edu- cations in college and related vocations al- though they must be taken in order like stair steps or otherwise one would find him- self lost at the top. Above: Mr. Modis taught his class functional math by examples after read- ing it. Left: Algebra I students worked inequalities on the board in room 3. 119 Earth Science and Biology precede . . . Pictured above is the entire science de- partment, headed by Mrs. Sarah Travis. Many hours of hard work as well as enjoyment took place in this room just across the hall from room 302. A coffeepot, an ash tray, a table and a few chairs, a typewriter and a shelf of books were some of the luxuries which kept them going. Broadening the stu- dents knowledge of scientific study, Mr. W. K. Smith introduced his stu- dents to the broad field of earth science. This was the last year for the course for it was replaced by physical science. Mrs. Travis and Mr. Jack Capps helped students to explore the fascinating worlds of plants and ani- mals in biology. Finishing up the pro- gram with chemistry and physics was Mr. Don Lentz, showing his students many exciting hours of study and lab work. 120 Gary Loveland, Debbie Boon, Bonnie Roberts, Rhonda Powers and Debbie Hart listened in- tently as Mrs. Travis carefully explained the dissection of a mammal, a pig. Students discovered the broad fields of sci- ence through participation. Biology II students learned through study as well as experimentation, of plant and animal life. Above: reading the book, studying the charts, and experimenting in the lab were the techniques of Chemistry I study. Right: Prepared Chemistry II stu- dents watched a mad scientist at work. 122 . . . Chemistry . Physics As Science Courses As previously mentioned, Mr. Lentz taught the chemistry and physics courses. Room 302 was the site of many odd, yet fascinating and educational happenings. From the smell of H- S, rotten egg gas, to mysterious explosions, to roars of laughter and finally to quiet study were some events found taking place in this designated room. Below, Marilyn Swartz is shown as she fired her crucible for quantitative analysis while Roselee Gibson is shown carefully weighing out chemi- cals to make up a solution for qualitative analysis work. Left, amateur physicists Steve Burton and Joan Goacher demon- strated the scientific approach to determining the approxi- mate height of a goal post. 123 124 Physical fitness: practice and theory Physical fitness and an understanding of the rules of physical fitness are as neces- sary to a secure future as is an educa- tion. Semester Health classes under the direction of Coach Lehman received valuable instructions in health and a few minor lessons in football. Youthful en- ergy is channeled into constructive rec- reation in Physical Education Classes. Home Economics provided many services Girls in vocational Home Economics displayed their talents in Interior Decoration, with the preparation of the Christmas tree for the main hail and the Christmas bulletin board. Others baked cookies for the Christmas dance and all types of delicious breads for the Inter-city Sportsmanship Meeting. The Home Economics Department provided a variety of services to the school as well as teaching homemaking to the girls en- rolled. 125 The Military Police: Front row: Harold Mac- rander, Terry Loveland, Jim Weese, Mike McGlothlin, Mike Jones, Mike Murphy, Mike Seevers, David Atkison, Danny Rich- ardson, Robert Crowe, Marty Novak.

Sam gave instruction to the class of first year cadets on tire assem- bly and disassembly of an M-14. R.O.T.C. taught discipline The main purpose of R.O.T.C. was to give the cadets a brief background in military life. The goal of R.O.T.C. was not to teach the cadet how to fight but to give him a new knowledge, courtesy, coordination, and self-confidence with which to better himself. R.O.T.C. not only prepared a cadet for military life but helped him in civilian life also. Part of the course curriculum was military courtesy, personal grooming, and first aid, all of which are a necessity in some aspect of life. Other parts of the course included weapons, chain of command, military organization, leadership, drill and ceremonies, and map reading. At left is an example of a map reading class which is composed of (from left to right) Mike Slavin, Alan Zachery, Pat Rock, Gary LaBouff, Wally Bozart, Gary Rogers and Dave Redmond. 127 Federal funds designated During the 1970-71 school year the Commercial Arts Department was able to increase its offerings due to federal funds designated specifically for the im- provement of Vocational Business Edu- cation. Typing, Basic Business, Book- keeping, Business Law, Secretarial Practice, and Shorthand classes provided students with the opportunity to pre- pare for a business career in the not so distant future. At right: Mr. Holms ex- pressed his innermost feelings about test grades to his third hour class.

Below: Miss Billingsley explained the assignment to her third hour class. 79 At left: Rhonda Dyche gave Mr. Holms her complete attention. Industrial Arts taught useful talents. One of the most popular departments at Benton was the indus- trial arts department. It was in this department a boy learned to build a gun rack or a plexi-glass paper weight. Many of the talents taught in the department are useful when the student has graduated. During part of the year industrial arts classes were held in the cafeteria while the shop room was under re- pair. Members of one of the shop classes showed off their handiwork-a bookcase. Shop classes met in the cafe- teria part of the year while the shop room was under repair. 131 Students train for future Vocational training was created to en- courage students to pursue life time careers in fields studied in high school. This year forty-nine students attended Hillyards Technical School for three hours each day to train in such fields as Printing, Electronics, Cabinet Mak- ing, Drafting and Design, Technology, Auto Mechanics, Welding, Machine Shop, Radio and TV Repair, and Data Processing. 132 Left: Terry Smith, Kenny Ur- quhart and Mike Kincaid studied the intricate parts of one of the many complex machines that they dealt with. Below: Eugene Ampa- rano looked on as his instruct- or explained woodworking. Kenny Adams looked on as an un- derclassman checked the oiL 133 Special Education provided work experience Special Education helped students learn basics and provided on-the-job training. By discussing problems en- countered on their jobs students were able to continue their vocations with less difficulty. 134 Counselors provided guidance Benton’s faculty gave much time and attention to their students, but some- times special attention was needed. This need was filled by our counselors. Counselors at Benton had jobs that in- cluded a number of tasks, some little and some large. Counselors guided the lives of Benton students. They solved schedule problems, listened to confused students, and helped with college prepa- ration. 135 Freshmen, confused and excited . . .

The fresh- men, excited and confused, stood in long lines to be battered by new ideas, have money taken from them and surrounded on all sides by little cards and pieces of pa- per that only cause them to be more confused. The hall was filled with freshmen combing their hair, straighten- ing their ties, and asking which piece of paper was their program card. Questions, excitement, and confusion were the mode of the day.

The freshmen made a good showing in the pep assembly since they overwhelmed the other classes by sheer numbers. Pool- ing their resources and joining together toward the end of the week the freshmen did well all during Spirit Week and during the pep assembly they were presented with the ribbon for the class having the most pep club members.

Class officers were: Gaytha Markt, President; Liz Wright, Vice-President; Lu Anne Chaney, Secretary; and Jane Thurn, Treasurer. The first part of the year the Juniors waited in anticipation for their class rings they had selected. The latter part of the year they worked and planned for the prom which was the highlight of their Junior year. The Juniors found that this was the year to feel secure at Benton, to voice their opinions, without the fear that often plague underclassmen, to assert their authority, and to join in spirit as the Junior class, the Class of 1972.

Chuck Gilmore served as president of the Senior Class, Elbert Davis held the office of vice president. Linda Reece was treasurer and Susan Koons was secretary. The seniors had several big choices and decisions to make in their last year at Benton and they were well led by their class officers. Pictured on the oppo- site page are three of the senior class officers: Susan Koons, Linda Reece, and Elbert Davis.

These words were written for him. “I wonder if souls are like candles. I imagine that they are. Look at the flame of a candle. It lives, it flickers, or perhaps it just burns strongly. No two candles burn alike. Some sit upon a piece of bark in the middle of a lake, reflecting its beauty in the water. Some lead the way through darkness. Some sit in a win- dow as a symbol of someone waiting; caring. Some sit on fine dining tables in the midst of distinguished wealth, and some shine in the eyes of children who hold the light of joy in their small hands. I think that when people die they just become candles, having all the joy and beauty of living but none of the hurt and tears of being alive.

When Mr. Wilcox’s class discovered their purpose they decided they would join the “senior sit down” but they were quickly stopped by Mr. Wilcox who thwarted their attempt before it got out of hand. After a full scale counter attack by the social studies teachers the seniors decided their spirit could best be shown by returning to class, which they did with a great amount of spirit.

It was not easy to take time from the dance, the school play, the track meet, or the game, to make plans for next year, or five years in the future or even ten. Seniors had this to do. These decisions were de- manding and difficult, but they had to be made. And somehow, amidst confusion and chaos they were made. And many times they were not made without a great deal of soul-searching and help from others. 184 Dennis Paslcy Cleva Potts Linda Reece Roxanne Pendleton Melvin Pummell Jerry Reno LaDonna Pigg Alice Jean Ray Mike Rich Twila Polsgrove Jennifer Ray Glenn Richey Gary Roach Mike Russell Lisa Savage Arthur Sawyer Lana Schurman Lewis Seiter Carolyn Shade Dennis Sherlock Carolyn Shimer Karen Sisk Mike Slavin Ronald Smith Terry Smith David Stafford Last registration meant great expec- tations to Steve Bur- ton. 186 Cindy Stanton Tom Stcidel Cindy Stickler Ronald Stufflebean Steve Stufflebean Marilyn Swartz John Szczcpanik Carl Taff David Brown and David Kneib desperately sifted dirt in search of ancient Indian relics. 187 Barb Tilman Sharon Traub Russell Teschner Erica Thomas Dena Unzicker Jim Waller Pam Wenzel Shelly Van Diver Greg Washington Rhonda West 188 Mike Wheeler Rhonda Whittington Carol Wilkerson Melissa Wisneski Mary Wojtowicz Ray Worrel Alan Zachary Tom Zbierski Cindy Zeltwanger Camera Shy William Bayer Linda Bell Bob Brendlc Darrell Brewer Rose Chavez Lois Couch Tom Crawley Danny Graves Margaret Hicks Charles Jones Charisse Kirk Donald Landers Cathy Leonard Joe Meade Steve Randolph Dale Shifflett Vickie Smith Bill Stanford Jeff Swardson John Throckmorton Larry Weston Harry White Mike White Rose Marie Whittington Frank Wood Kenny Adams Marleah Bower Baseball.
