Girl's and Boy’s State participants learned about federal government by setting up replicas of governmental insti- tutions.

Michael Slavin after three years of effort was recommended and accepted as alternate to West Point this year.

 f T Students work at after-school jobs Many high school students feel they need after school jobs to get money for those “extras” they really want. 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.
