Benton Takes New Look On October 20th and 21st, both freshmen and sophomores were seen in a different light when they came to school dressed as all-stars and monsters. The school days were al- tered, starting with the Freshmen’s parade around the football field on the 20th, and Sophomore’s march through the halls on the 21st. The halls of Benton were decorated with colorful posters and bright banners, such as, 'Freshman Spirit All-Star Strong, Benton's Number One All Year Long. ’ and 'Spook Them Off The Field. ' The short five minute breaks between classes were interrupted by spirited yells and cheers for the two classes, as Benton took on a new look. 10

Easy Living School functions and outside activities played a large role in a teenager's life. Parties, church organizations, a pizza after a game or even Tee-Peeing your best friend's home were a part of active lives. Some students spent their time working for the community or state. Benton students were found at var- ious places in the city during the school year, donating their time to the Swine Flu Clinic as volunteers or the Salvation Army. Par- ticipating in worthwhile community activi- ties proved to be a benefit to diem selves, and those associated with them. 9
