I Lori Barr practices singing tor an upcoming performance The Benton Singers of 1983-84 have had a busy year. They participated in the spring variety show and had shows of their own. There were 24 members, mostly seniors, in the group. Some of the ac- tivities planned were contest, which was held at Maryville and Columbia. Since the number of singers was limited, the group was divided into three groups of eight and chose classical music to pre- sent to the judges. Mr. Robbins commented, This year's group was one of my better groups; they have a mature sound.” The group plans to go to Smithville Lake when school is out for the yearly outing.

WBHS Works To Be Self Supporting Above: Chuck Sims shows Tara Pendland what song to play next. but. she's not listening. Right: Sheri Herring talks to the many WBHS listeners. The disc jockeys are students, giving up their study hall, and receiving no credit for it. It has proven quite successful for several students in that they have made broadcasting their life Career. WBHS makes every effort to be self- sustaining depending solely upon advertising, and not the school district and the taxpayers for money. It is only through the efforts of students and advertisers that WBHS is where it is today. WBHS was that first radio station in a high school in St. Joseph, (followed by Central and Lafayette) and the second one in the entire state of Missouri. Danny Lentz, the station manager, feels that this has been the most successful group of DJ's in a long time. 14 WBHS
