One of the few down- falls, was to Kearney in a 2-0 game. They took 2nd in city even though they had beaten the 1st place team, the Central Indians. Rob James commented that despite the fact of having a young pitching staff he thinks they had a strong team. We had Seniors that provided leader- ship and everyone thinks that the seniors and coaches deserve alot of credit for our seccesses. Bill Wright said that he thought the team had an excellent season for being so young. He also said that the team worked hard to improve each day. Sonny Reece stated that they had an overall good season even though they were predicted to do poorly. Sonny also said that the seniors made it what it was.

C.A.T - All! A Learning Experience For Left: Chris Roach shows a kindergarten class the alphabet in small and capitol letters. Bottom left: Brian Hicks seems just as anxious as these kids to get out to recess. Bottom right: Shelley Farris is shown helping the children, which is just one of the daily assignments in C.A.T. class. A yearbook staffer got an inter- view with one of the child-adult-teen students, Chris Roach to see how she felt about the class. “At first, I really didn’t know what to expect but after a while I really enjoyed going to Hyde to work with the kids.” Before the students were able to go to Hyde, there was alot of work to do. They took notes on children at all stages of development, then they got to go over to Hyde to observe the children and get used to them and finally they got to begin helping them learn. “I learned alot that I didn’t know about children, things I’d never thought of.” C.A.T. is a new class offered at Benton. It’s had alot of positive re- sponse from both the high school and elementary school students. Check it out!
