Although we realize that others will consider this n mere annual, to those who have labored to prepare it for the public, it is an unusually interesting production. Wo wish to thank those who have been kind enough to contribute to the SCARAB and in this way lighten, to some extent, the load on the editors' shoulders. Our only desire is that the reader shall be ns greatly interested in the contents of the SCARAB ns the staff has been in preparing it for the public, and we would like to see the continued publication of a year book for each ensuing year.

A lively Inmoli of forty-seven. wlio’d thought lli.it Hitfli Si'liool wonlil Ik Heaven (Imt when we got hen we found out. we liad not known what we thought aliout). we entered lion in nineteen fourteen for four years’ work- -as van l e seen. Our class was early organized; Hill was president anil Miss Smith advised. Nith Ktliol ltea as secretary, our officers were good. yes very! Our choice of colors was fine, we ween; they are the prettiest we have seen; through all four years we have hcen loyal to pure white and purple royal. We entertained our parents dear: we think we made to them quite clear what brilliant children they possess (at least we tried to our denied best.) We celebrated Hallowe’en and later picnicked on the green at Ruth Ann Webb's up at Webb’s Hill; we ha l good eats and ate our fill. At Lola Fou Ik’s on New Year’s Eve we met and watched the old year leave, and welcomed in the fresh New Year with games and songs ami real good cheer. And so throughout our Freshman days we had good times in various ways: we made some friends mot Faculty—we studied not enough, you see.) As Sophomores next we bail our say: we found this year a rocky way. Geometry put us on our mettle, the wliys we could not seem to settle: and when in English we would stumble Miss Mitchell would In-gin to grumble. Our lessons bothered us a bit Imt still our fun we couldn’t quit. Into society wc made a dive; this year of parties we had five. The Freshmen entertained us loo—’I was more than Freshies usually do. Our officers this year we changed and. thinking ‘twould be fair, arranged to have a girl to lead the class as president (Lola was the lass) ami then with Lloyd as secretary our officers were congenial, very! Now when we reached our Junior year of High School we had lost all fear. The teachers we had found weren’t dreadful although they tried to cram our heads full of facts for which we did not care (but then you see that’s why they're there). Our class from forty-seven had shrunk to Iwentv-lwo they didn't all flunk, for some had quit and gone to work and some had studied like a Turk and left our class to go ahead (in three years through the four they sped). Our officers we changed again; Dick was made president and then Pearl Frier always look the notes and counted up the Junior votes. (In other words, she was secretary, but nothing rhymes with it but very and I am tired of using it; I wish some other word would fit). This year we gave a tacky party to show appreciation hearty of what the Freshmen did for us; the costumes were quite curious—Miss Peek sure did cut some figger dressed as a big, fat, homely nigger. Of other parties we had a lot that never will be quite forgot especially the night that wc got an o'possum up a tree. In Senior year, our final tost, wc think we’ve ranked up with the l est. Of course, we've played and made some noise; we've often heard “Those Senior boys will surely Ik the death of me; why they won't study. I can’t sec . And yet our record we can compare with any and it looks fair. Our president this year’s the same—he’s little but Oh! My! he’s game. Our class advisor and colors lot have bccu the same 17 £ rui(ir (Clans Hifltnrg -Olantiiuirft all four years through. Wc lost two from our Junior rank— 'Zckicl ami Nancy, and wc thank our lucky stars that we gained two to fill these places, ns they well do. Our Senior lioy have done their part in all athletics from start to finish: in football, track and basketball they’ve not held back but pitched right in and done their share at showing others that Benton's there.” We have had parties quite a few and had good times as we always do. To one we could each invite a guest, presumably some one we liked best: to another we asked some Junior girls for with only our Lola and two Pearls. Mary. Vinita and Verne. I vow we haven't enough girls anyhow. The Junior-Senior reception was grand and the Sophomores also look a hand and gave us a Happy bluebird party for which our thanks to them are hearty. Between good times we’ve studied some (wc didn't want to he called dumb) and yet we've loved our High School joys like ollier High School girls and boys. And now as we leave this dear old place regret will show on each Senior face and in after years whatever our ways, we'll cherish our memories of High Sehool days. 18 (dlass Our president is happy Dick. The firs! and least of all; We could not do without him though. Despite that he is .small. The loudest hoy in all the school Whose yells will ever thrill Old Benton on to victory Is happy Yelling Bill. And Arllie is a football man. To every one a friend: And though the men played wrong. He played his own right end. Though Freddie is a trifle small Regarding his physique. No one could scans- deny him this. Mis ways are quite unique. Lloyd is just that quiet kind Whose natures never vary; It always can Ik- said of him. He never was contrary. It is not strange with all the range With which our Sing can sing That even he should chance to lie Si singulnr a thing.

For a glnvsin which to see Ourselves ns we shall Inter he! Twenty-two Seniors stand on the threshold of the door which i' to close fore ver ii| on their High Sch.Mtl days and 111roii li which they arc to enter their real life’s work. After a few more weeks, only through the windows of memory will they lie aide to review the painful and the happy hours spent in work and play in If. T. II. S. May we ho|ie that the blind may lie drawn over memory's window enough to shut out each glimpse of a painful hour and that all their recollections of High School life may lie pleasant. Peering now through a window of imagination. I am interested in following as far as niv eyes can see. a long, long trail that winds into the future of these lives. 1 have not fur to look until I see our Senior President, Richard Meads, ns an exjiert draftsman working with one of the largest construction companies in the world and from the dependence which they seem to place in him. as well as from the amount of work he is turning out. 1 judge that lie has lost, somewhere along the road, hi- besetting sin of procrastination. A little farther on I behold Paul Jones, an able lawyer, and mil delighted to hear Paul who was ever so afraid of his own voice in High School, arguing before a jury in no uncertain or timid tones When Paul has finished his sjieceli. the judge. Singleton Rushing, rises to deliver the final instructions to the jury, which he does in such an impressive and dignified manner that I am shocked and pained at the change in him. Rut after a few minutes, when the jury has withdrawn and a recess has liven declared, the judge liegins to converse with the men in the court room and I soon am relieved by realizing niv mi'ttike in believing that he hud lost his rare sense of humor or his gift of foolish gall. .Inst outside the court house I hear the strident tones of an auctioneer which cannot be mistaken for other than Bill Saulher’s and I am sun- the chattels which he knocks down will bring I heir full value or even more for Bill always had a knack of getting out of anything as much as (or more than) he put into it. After close attention I find that he is selling donkeys that Paul Sanders lias driven in from his donkey ranch. I linger lieforc travelling on down the lane of imagination, long enough to see Leslie Mundell bid in a fine span of the donkeys to use on bis large farm. A little farther on I see King Quillman’s photograph gallery and at the close of the day watch King carrying his cornel home with him. for in the evening he will lead the band practice. I bear Ebcn Dial proclaimed far and near as a second Caruso and rejoice that bis loss of voice was only temporary. I see a well-dressed physician alighting from his cur and with his ease of medicines entering a stone-front mansion, and recognize Clarence Kskew. It is easy to realize that he is unselfishly devoting his life to alleviating the pains of others. At the same time I am glad to know from bis appearance that bis unselfishness, efficiency, and bis old-time art of being a good-mixer arc being rewarded by pro$| crity. It is only a step from this scene to that of Verne Jones a-, head nurse in a large hospital. Although still short in stature she is looked up to by the other nurses (Ulanfl {Irnjilirrii (CoHliuuci Along another part of the road I seem to hoar a fninl tramp, trump, us of ,«ohlier marching in tin- far distnner ami out of this conics the picture of the now far-distant world-war in which Arthur Adams won his generalship: and I also sec IJoyd Kaim-y ns the efficient head of a famous military school. And in imagination this scene shifts easily to one of Lola Foulk jus the charming mistress of Lloyd's lovely home. And then my view reverts to scenes called up hy the thoughts of war and 1 see Fred Townl who for years was energetic in relief work in the I-. S„ now in Kngland lending his energy and sound business sense to the rebuilding of (towcrfiil industries there. Again as 1 gaze down a quiet, peaceful section of my imaginary lane, running through rich farm lands. I see Clifton Hill ami Pearl Jones enjoying their well-earned evening's rest on the front porch of their spacious farm home. As I wander along this rather lonely stretch of country road noting the cvidenci on all sides of Clifton's and Pearl’s thrift and prosperity. I «in stjirtled at hearing my name spoken hy some one evidently right In-side me. Anil I am still more startled wlu-n I am c died again and again and yet can find no one in sight. After a few minutes of this f heroine aware of a distant buzz overhead ami looking up I see nil airship. I finally realize that Kddic Davis, the most powerful ventriloquist of Jill times, has In-on IMiised in his airship directly over me mid has thrown his voice down right beside in even when he was still so high in the air that the noise of Ids mue'iinc w.is not noticeable. I close my eyes for a moment to wonder over what I have just experienced and when f open them agiin. the picture I see is of IVirl Frier leaching Physical Culture in :i High School in Next I mv Arttic Pyles at work on a wonderful electric sign and on looking closer f discover Hint the sign is for Tillman Morgan. Tile (ieiitlenieii's Tailor. I travel far to find Mary Webb living on a cattle ranch in New Mexico and Vinila Conover the wife of a leading business m in in Siinnyside. Washington. And having found each of these twenty-two Seniors. I turn away from this most wonderful window of the mind, thankful for the visions I have hail through it; for now I am content to Itdieve that all will he well in the future of these lives that are going out from B. T. II. S. forever. 22 (Class I pon behalf of mv client, the class of 1018. of Hcnlon Town-'|'ip High School, of the city of Hcnlon. State of Illinois. I nited States of America. I have called you together ii|Kin this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her Inst will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. A consultation of doctors was called together on May the first, and they predicted that on June the first the Class of 11)18 was doomed to die. My client wishes me to state that owing to a lightness in the head caused by it gradual swelling during the last four years, and a heavy heart due to thoughts of parting and our feasting, that it is probable that she may have l ccn mistaken in her inventory: but such things as she thinks she has. she hereby gives into your possession, trusting that you may not believe that it is only l ccausc she cannot keep her goods that she is generous. She has tried to lx- just a- well as impartial in the distribution of such gifts, as she has in her jmwer to Itcslow. After thoughtful and dclilterate consideration, these are the decisions at which she has finally arrived. Listen, then, one and all. while I read the document, as duly drawn up and sworn to: THE WILL We. the Class of 11)18. al out to depart from this sphere of education, in j osscssion of a crammed mind, a well-trained memory, and an almost superhuman understanding, do make, ordain, publish, declare, ami cause to Ik executed, this, our last 23 am will ami test aim-lit. hereby revoking ami making void all former will ami codicil .

Second. We will and l cqucnth to the dear faculty, who have Iwren our instructors in nil the wisdom of the ages, an unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long watches of the night, to worry over the uncertainty of whether the Senior boys arc getting their lessons. We also promise them a rest from l!MS s petition . They have performed their duty well and. verily, now shall they have their well-earned reward. 1 o next year’s basketball team, we will the ability of Clarence Eskew. Tillman Morgan.

Let every member show his gratitude hv endeavoring to fill them as faithfully, as promptly, and quietly as we have done. We will and bequeath to Miss Seymour, a quiet assembly, in the future.

Do you want to hear the history of that car? It started in l!)15 with pretty complex incchanism. It had over sixty parts- some were gathered from the city and some from the country. But when they had been worked on. the assembled parts looked rather promising. I'nder the leadership of Miss Du.vsell. with Paul Stowers as driver of the car. it came into existence as a very good looking ear. and one that could travel at a pretty good rate. It made good progress the first year, stopping only a few times; the first time al Hickman's Branch for a Wiener Roast. next at the High School where a good old-fashioned Hallowe'en parly was held. The car had quite a jolt when it crossed the Semester Exams but only a few fell out. As the roads gradually improved, by April the ear was working perfectly and was very capable of entertaining the Soph's at the B. T. II. S. Well, that model got along fairly well that season, but we saw where several improvements could Ik- made. Too many different materials were being used, so the Officials of the factory, under the supervision of Mr. Honk, selected the Ixrst pieces and simplified the structure until only forty parts remained. The l! 17 model was a corker! It was that year that we chose the colors for our car—ever see anything prettier than a green laxly and white wheels? We had an excellent demonstrator. Miss Peek, and a very capable chauffeur. Thomas Dillon, who put the car through iter best paces and proves! just what she could do. She had some pretty hard jolts, one being altout the colors of the ear. but also several good trips: The trip to Hamilton's Lake, when the Freshmen gave a picnic, was successful. The Seniors realized what a fine car we had at the demonstration in April al the B. T. H. S. She came through the year in fine shape—running smoothly and hitting on all cylinders. The next year we made several improvements, the parts were simplified to about 25. Notice how easy the steering wheel Is to manage; that even a woman can run it successfully has been proved since Lucilc Burkett has run it this year. The hardest test of the whole year came when we went over the steep hill, called Junior-Senior Reception —our tires proved worth while. This year two of our parts were thought good enough to adopt in France and they arc doing their share in winning the war. You think you don't care to buy yet? All right! We are planning on a Itctlcr model for l!)l!l than has ever been produced. Just wait and watch us. 30 I Mar un-I Aiken linilricr Ailnins Alva Alexander Joe IJaner I'Aitell Baldwin IVnH Hnri;e Kujicnin Camphell Itieliard Dillon Holier!

But that is ;i fact. .Inst three years after the Benton High School adopted Football, we won the Championship of Southern Illinois, and have strong claims on the Ynlral 'hampionshi| . During the season. Benton won all games either l y actual play, or l v default. Not a single game was lost, ami only two touch-downs were scored off them during the season. Much credit is dlie to Smilty and Moses. both of whom devoted all their spare time in the development of a human machine. Benton's team played with an unerring precision, which swept off their feet every team which they opposed. Benton High had the honor of having three men on the “All Southern, which is an honor not to he overlooked. If the picker of the All Southern Team. had only been able to see Benton in action under fair conditions, we know that at least five All Star men would hail from Benton Those making the All Southern were Dillon. Sector and Hemphill. Martin. Eskcw and Johnson received honorable mention and were picked for the £nd team. The student body of the Benton Township High School, certainly should to proud of tin first team of any sort to win a shield. Also with two coaches like I'loyd Smith and Hurry Moses, and with the material we have, next year will see the Benton Township High School with its hat in the ring for the State Championship. 43 “IN TRAINING Livn Jones. manager of I lie learn. is lu- l esl center in this district.

Inil. when time for the tournament drew near every man was in first class condition, owing to the careful coaching of Smilly. At the tournament. Benton Township High School made Believers of every team up there. We won second place, playing in the finals, for the first time in die history of our High School. Never before did Benton show more fighting spirit. When Benton played Sparta, llie afternoon licfore the final game, everybody said that Benton was the best team at the tournament. When die final game was called the Benton men were still tired from the afternoon game, and were unable to get started as quickly as Du Quoin. Nevertheless during the last half, every time Du Quoin had the ball, they hail lo pinch themselves, to lie sure they had it. Such fast work was displayed by the Benton second team at the tournament, that Benton should have no trouble at all in making a good showing at the tournament next year. 46 KASKETHALI.
