Campbell, Earl Cates, Mary The cafeteria workers start each morning to make our lunches. After lunch is served they still keep right on working to clean, and plan the next days meals. The Staff of Benton High School play a very important part in the lives of the stu- dents. Without them there would be no hot lunches, and there would be filthy class rooms, and even less heat. The students all seem to take the staff for granted like they will always be here for us. So the staff is really very important part of our School. Baer, Manley (Smokey) Baldwin, Goldie Barns. Elaine Staff Always Here For Us 18 Staff

She says “It’s great, I wouldn’t go anyplace else to work!’’ Mrs. Turner says she became a Physical Education teacher because she likes the openess, sports, and working out and being active. She also really likes the students. She feels that the discipline is not as strict as in other areas of teaching. She really likes the other teachers too. She says that they are all willing to help.

Mrs. Cates looks interested in something besides getting her picture taken. Mrs. Cates has seen Benton for 27 years as bookkeeper, secretary to the assistant princi- pals, and all round girl Friday for the entire faculty and staff. She retires at the end of this year. We all wonder how we will get along with- out her. Staff 19
