Benton Public Library Dist. 502 S. Main St Benton, IL 62812 — r The 1925 SCARAB The Yearbook Published by the Senior Class of the Benton Township High School Benton, Illinois Benton Public Library Dist. 502 S. Main St Benton, 1162812 Wm. G. Eovaldi - - - - - Editor-in-C iieJ J. Curtis Bellamy ----- Business Manager Fred W. Werner ----- Circulation Manager T 65366 THE SCARAB Foreword The purpose of ilus Scarab is to give the reader an idea of the school’s activities, and especially to remain a constant reminder of the most pleasant occurrences of the year 1924-1925 to those who have had a part therein. Eight volumes have heretofore been published. The members of each stair have tried to outdo their predecessors. In compiling the 1925 Scarab, we have spared no effort to improve those departments which have always been a part of our book. The additions have carefully been chosen that they might not reflect upon the quality of past publications. In spite of the fact that others may consider this a mere annual, its preparation has been more than interesting to those who have labored to place it before the public for inspection and approval. Between its covers we have tried to give expression to the true high school spirit which, it is hoped, will ever keep the walls of Benton High sacred to each and every one of us. The accomplishments of the school, as recorded herein, bear witness that the year 1924-1925 has been the most significant in the history of the Benton Township High School. We have not, however, attempted to unjustly praise Benton High, for her position among the foremost high schools of America needs no heralding by us. We have merely attempted to give, an interesting review of the chief events which have taken place during the year. With this last word, we place the 1925 Scarab before you for fair consideration. 2 THE SCARAB Index Ads ....................... Alumni .................... Athletics..................

As we look hack over our four years of school life how short, yet how profitable, they seem! Our first year we elected R. Z. Hickman, President; Marguerite E. Vise, Vice President; Whobery Allen, Secretary-Treasurer and Mr. O. G. Parkhill, class adviser. XVc selected purple and white as our class colors As Freshmen, we presented “The Red Lamp which proved to be one of the best dramatic successes of the year. By the time we were Sophomores, we had lost thirty-eight of our original number. The following officers were elected: Roland Harris, President; Fred Werner, Vice-President, and Dorothy Cantrell, Secretary-Treasurer. Because Mr. Parkhill left a few months after school began, we chose for our adviser a teacher who has given us inestimable aid in overcoming the problems which have confronted our class—Miss Colcord. The girls of 25 won the volley-ball tournament. The most important social event of the year was the Hallowe'en party in the gym—where we were entertained by the Junior Class. In our third year only ninety-eight returned. Wm. G. Eovaldi was elected President; Carl Whittington, Vice-President; and Alice E. Gardner, Secretary-Trcas-urcr. During that year the Juniors produced “Ruth In A Rush, which was presented by a well selected cast. We entertained the Seniors with a Junior-Senior Prom at the Elks' Hall on February 24th. An innovation of this year was the election of the Staff for the 1925 SCARAB. The pilots for our Senior year were: R. Z. Hickman, President; Hazel Morris, Vice President; and Tony Paulavish, Secretary-Treasurer. In September we ordered our class pins and rings, which made us feel, as well as look, like full-iledged Seniors. “In Walked Jimmy,” was presented during the closing days of the first semester. As a class, we feel particularly proud to have furnished four members of the debating team which, for the first time in the history of our school, won the championship of Southern Illinois. Little did we realize when we carne to high school that we would leave with such a feeling of regret. Now that we arc leaving our place to others, we trust that they will follow the traditions and high ideals of Benton High. Wherever we go in the coming years, we pledge ourselves to remain faithful Alumni to dear old B. T. H. S. 24 THE SCARAB Prophecy Whec-c-c-c, B-u r r, Siz-z-z-z—This is station B T. H. S. announcing the re-turns of the Senior Class of ’24. Mattie Sullivan has accepted a position as skinny woman with Barnum and Bailey s circus, and Willie Armstrong is their strong man. Curtis Bellamy is now a married man with five kids and has settled down on the farm enjoying the riches of his goodly acreage. Lcotta Britton has discovered a new type of bobbed hair and Villa Mac Broughton is advertising it. Ruth Browning has made a wonderful career in Hollywood. You surely remember Charles Childers and Howard Dial? Well, they swear that they use Wild Root hair tonic on their hair to make the girls fall for ’em. Alice Dillon and M. Virginia Knechl are competitors for first honors in the 100 yard dash at the Olympics. Ruth Cleveland is broad jumping in the same contest. Lena Drake, Anna Easley, and Lula Eovaldi are trying to swim the English channel. Hope they don t drown, for we like to sec the weaker sex do extra well in these manly sports. Curtis Dollins is struttin’ his stuff, loo; he takes the part of the Ham in Hamlet. Willie Eovaldi is a cross country runner. Our companion, Lewis Ewing has gone into a monastery'. Some woman seems to have handed him the royal razzberry; and, br-u-u, grz-z-z-z, s-s-ptt, John Gilmore and Paul Glover arc feline specialists. We want to remind you that Mary Pagani and Alice Gardner arc co partners in an eating place. Their cashier is Aliha Griffin. Walter Johnson has founded and controls the Feminine College, the best school for young ladies in our country. He is constantly surrounded by a group of pretty girls, such as Mabel Hargrove and Lonetta Biggs. He seems to enjoy their company very much as is expressed by his broad gnn and happy attitude. Evelyn Hindman has a studio in Greenwich Vib lage. I don’t know, but I hear that Lillie Ing and Gladys Ingram are her under' studies. They undoubtedly will make good. Robert Z. Hickman buys booze for boobs; while Edith Lipc is giving Grecian readings with a chorus of Greek dancers composed of Cy Hill, Fred Ingram, Botch Jones, and Joker Kern. Don’t miss it when it comes to town. It’s sure worth the money. Lena Locklar and Gladys Lowery are starting a new scandal sheet, and are now being sued for slander by Sara Marsh. Max Knight is the model for Stetson hats—no wonder they sell for so much cold cash. Evan Lovan has accepted a position as a French chef and cooks for all the newly rich, such as Hazel Morris and Eunice Settlcmoir. John McCartney has given up the idea of inarnage in order that he might devote his entire time to teaching the Chinese the art of drinking Coca-Cola. Brr-rr-r, b-u-z-z, ow-w-w-w, s-s-sftt, and Mr. Rabbit ran—oh, that bedtime story—b-z-z-z Now! Lcla Morris is in a side show—she’s one of them freaks what cats and drinks with their toes. We all trust she doesn't choke herself to death. Eddie Nichols is 25 the scarab PROPHECY—Continued branding cattle on the spacious ranch of Nasty Miller out in the wonderful West. Tony Paulavish, dressed in leather cowboy apparel, won the rodeo out there this spring Sophia Neal is training dogs—or men—1 can't remember which. Dorothy St. Clair is doing settlement work in the “big city of Logan. Tommy Quillman is blacking shoes. He sure makes them shine and deserves the patronage of all his old-time chums Charles Sauthcr is a famous criminal lawyer. Y’ aula hear him talk —talks just like a three-year-old. Wheeler Scars is a college professor. Katherine Shepard and Lucille Smith arc dancing in the Hawaiian Isles. Shirley Snider sings hot stuff for Victor. Vernon Spencer is the head surgeon of one of the world's largest hospitals and hardly has time to cat. Stuart Todd, Omcr Upchurch and Fred Werner are opening tombs in Egypt Mary Tedrow is a street car conductor. Ain’t that grand! She's saving the tickets for her hope chest Gertrude UpdcgralT just can’t leave the old school, so she's clerk in the office. Horace Wood successfully defended his title as world's champion at croquet. Marguerite Vise and Humbert Whaley arc married. They're very happy; he washes the dishes n everything. B u-z-z-z, o-w-o-o-o, this is station B—T—H—S signing off. 2d THE SCARAB Will Wc, the class of 1925 of the B. T H.

Our entrance was erected by apprenhensivc groans from the faculty, if we remember correctly, but these fears soon proved ungrounded. We had our officers selected before any other class, establishing our record of superiority which still continues. Our officers, by the way, were Joe Nolen, President; Enos Perry, Vice-President; and Mural Wilson, Secretary Treasurer, with Ralph A. Trank at the helm as adviser. We did all the conventional things which frcshics must do, such as getting lost in the corridors, and trying to direct Sophomores to the mythical “First Period. The next year we chose Enos Perry for President; Lucille Machiels, Vice-President; and Esther Kell, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Dorothy Herschbach was almost unanimously chosen our adviser. That year, needless to say, we had a great deal more confidence in ourselves. But, when we became Juniors—real Juniors—the magnis deis of the .Freshmen, we had even more self-confidence than we needed. This time, we showed our usual good judgment by electing Lucille Machiels, President; Walter Ewing, Vice-President; and Lcla Kief, Secretary-Treasurer, retaining Miss Herschbach as adviser. There have been many social events in our history, among those long to be remembered are the outdoor Hallowe'en parties, the Sophomore Kid Party, and several picnics. Our class has always been well represented in every branch of school life— athletics and intellectual activities, and last but not least, the Honor Roll. We prophesy great things for ourselves, and sincerely hope that our school . can “point with pride to the Class of Twenty-six. 39 THE SCARAB 40 THE SCARAB 41 THE SCARAB History When vvc, the Class of ”27, entered the Benton Township High School, with an enrollment of 147, we elected Bob McConnel, President; Loren Taylor, Vice-President; Mildred Snider, Secretary; and Frances Teague, Treasurer. Miss Burkhart was chosen class adviser and Red and White were our class colors. We started the social year off with a mixer which proved to be a success in every way. We then entertained the Sophomore Class with a tacky party and, near the close of school, had a wiener roast for ourselves. This year we entered school with an enrollment of 137. We elected the following officers: Mildred Snider, President; Loren Taylor, Vice-President; and Mary Spam, Secretary-Treasurer. By a unanimous vote. Miss Burkhart was retained as Class Adviser. We had a wiener roast at the Sunnyside Club near the first of school. Later we were entertained by the Juniors at a delightful Hallowe'en party. We then had a guest party at which all the classes were well represented. In our two years at B. T. H. S. we have furnished excellent material for the track, football, and basketball teams, as well as contributing to the intellectual teams. 42 THE SCARAB Sophomore Class Roll Dorothy Austin Curb-on Boll fScrard Berth old Opal Boyles Clytic BrouKhton Opal Bryant GeorKO Burkhart Parker Burton Billie Cantrell Lester Carrnher Lola Chaffin Lafue Coekran Ray CunninKhnm Kathryn Dnvla Josephine Dcmnttie Elsie Dcvoeelle Harold Dial Alma Dollins Fnye Dollins Ixjlitu Dorris Joe DauKherty Mike Do . .ino Lena Dye Gladys Ellis I ouU Eovnldl Julia Ferrell Milton Fix Thelma Fletcher Edith Friar Dollie Ful«hnm Edith Estelle Gahms Eddio Gnravnftliti Eleanor Grnyeus Faye Grcytt Lincoln Hall Harry Hamilton Nellie Harton Wilma Hobbs Nova Holman Edith Hurst Fay Jenkins Frank Johnson Minerva Johnson Wilford Johnson Maude Jones Myles Jones Eliott E.

So large is the class that it was necessary to elect two advisers—Misses Mary Hart and Leta Mcllvain—to guide the class. The officers are: Robert V. Doty, President: Frank Hickman, Vice-President; Herbert Tedrow, Secretary-Treasurer; and Jaunita Dorns, Editor. This class has entered all the activities of the school with great vigor, has proved peppy, loyal and true, has upheld every standard of our school, and has contributed valuable men to the football and basketball teams this year. The class entered whole-heartedly into every task and its achievements will be long remembered. With three more years in which to develop, it will undoubtedly become one of the best classes the B. T.

EARL DOTY Besides being our best high-jumper, Doty was our best hurdler, and a good relay man. VALENTINE FLACK Had Vallie been out before his Senior year, he would have been the best javelin man in Egypt. At the commencement of the 1924 season, the prospects of producing another champion team were very discouraging. Practically all of last year's Southern Illinois Champion squad had been carried away by graduation—Capt. Doty, Allen, Hill, Ingram, Sharp, and McKemie being the only survivors. Nevertheless, Coach Smith ardently set to work and, with the able assistance of Mr. Tabor and Mr. Natho, assembled a team that lost to the strong Carbondale aggregation by the scant margin of four points; defeated Johnston City by an overwhelming score; and, for the fifth consecutive year, won the championship of Franklin County. CARBONDALE, HERE In the first dual meet of the year the score was 60-56 in favor of Carbondale. This was a very good showing on the part of our boys, especially when one considers that the Jackson County lads had almost all of last year's squad, while Coach Smith had hardly had sufficient time in which to properly place his new material. 50 THE SCARAn TRACK AND FIELD—Continued SIMS NEAL CASAWAV CARROL SIMS Ran on the relay. With last year's experience, we expect him to help make a Champion Team. CARL NEAL Was the old war-horse of the team—a good dual meet and relay man FLOYD GASAWAY Should be the best quarter-miler in Southern Illinois this season. JOHNSTON CITY, HERE When Johnston City paid us a visit, Smitty had had a better opportunity to arrange his lineup, which resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Maroon and White. The boys from Williamson were swamped by the score of 77 to 56. The “Red Devils' captured almost every event, and “slammed in the shot put, javelin throw, high jump, and hop, step and jump. FRANKLIN COUNTY TRACK AND FIELD MEET, HERE The following week came the Franklin County meet. Benton had been victorious for four consecutive years—every' year since its establishment. West Frank fort, the Maroon and White's oldest and most bitter rival, was reputed to have a very strong team (and they did, too) and was confident ot uncrowning Benton High At no time during the entire meet did the prospects of winning look any too bright for the B. T. H. S., and when the time came for the final event—the relay— Benton was leading by two wee points. This meant that the winner of the relay 51 THE SCARAB TRACK AND FIELD—Continued SEARS DILLON HILL ELMER HILL Has won consistently in dual and county meets.

Benton's quartette easily won; Neal, the last runner for the Maroons, crossed the tape fully five yards in advance of his nearest opponent. It was a great race and a great meet. But best of all was the fact that the Red Devils” had retained the crown. SOUTHERN ILLINOIS TRACK AND INTELLECTUAL MEET, HERE Despite the cold, drizzling rain on May 9th and 10th, large crowds from all over the southern part of Illinois thronged to Benton to witness the Southern Illinois Track and Intellectual meet Four hundred fifty athletes, representing thirty-five high schools of Egypt , participated in the biggest Southern Illinois meet ever staged. Tennis and golf were made features of the big meet for the first time in its history. Harold Osborne, who holds the world's record for the high jump, demonstrated his ability by leaping the b ir it 6 ft 7 in., which is as high as he later sailed through the air in Paris to set an Olympic record.

Al though Manon only won two firsts, she took sufficient seconds and thtrds to make a total of 32 J points as against her nearest rivals' 17 1-12. Dongola and Harris burg tied for second and third positions. There were no records smashed this year due, undoubtedly, to the run and chilly weather.

The house was packed to capacity with enthusiasts rooting for their respective teams. In spite of the fact that Murphy led by a big margin in the eliminations, Hernn was the victor in the finals by taking two firsts and one second. Benton's sole survivor in the finals of this event, Robt. Z. Hickman, copped first place in the extemporaneous speaking. U. OF I. INTERSCHOLASTIC The best high school athletes of Illinois were present at the University of Illinois Intcrscholastic meet, where our only showing was first place in the high jump by Earl Doty. Thus ended another season and Smitty ', with his “do or die spmt, had again placed Benton High favorably on the track and field map of Southern Illinois. 54 THE SCARAB Football 55 mam THE SCARAB Football Heavies THE SCARAB Football ANNA 9, BENTON 3. The Maroons journeyed to Anna for their first game of the season on September 27th. Anna had retained most of her last year's regulars On the other hand, the Red Devils had not been so fortunate, and started their first game with many new faces in the lineup, which consisted of Smith and Knight, ends; Taylor and Spencer, tackles; Jones and Kern, guards; Wood, center; Hickman, quarterback and captain; Gasaway and Gilmore, halfbacks; and Sears, full-back. Captain Hickman chose to defend the south goal. Anna kicked off to Sears, who returned to his own thirty-yard line. On a scries of smashes the Maroons car ned the oval to Anna's ten-yard line. Then, lacking the punch to push over a touchdown, Hickman dropped to his seven teen-yard line and booted the ball over the bar for three points. Until the middle of the third quarter, the ball zigzagged up and down the field with neither team having the advantage. Gilmore was injured, Lowery replacing him at right half. Soon after this, Anna scored a touchdown when they punted over the Maroon goal and fell on the ball after a Benton player had touched it. They made good the kick. Score: 7-3. For the remainder of the game the Maroons were on the defensive. They tried to open a passing attack but this failed when Anna intercepted the first one attempted. Anna then carried the ball to the Maroon five-yard line. Benton held and it was our ball on our own five-yard line. Hickman, in attempting to kick from behind goal, received a bad pass from center and was tackled behind the goal for a safety, which brought the final score up to 9-3 in Anna's favor. ELDORADO 20, BENTON 13. In 1923, Eldorado held the undisputed championship of Southern Illinois. They were defeated only once during that year and held their opponents to two touchdowns. Their line averaged about 170 pounds and their backfield was almost as heavy. They came to Benton for their first game with practically all of last year's championship team, expecting to conquer the Red Devils easily. However, by the time 07 THE SCARAB 1 001 IIAI.I.—Continued Tajlo ihc final whistle blew, Eldorado fully realized that she had engaged in a real game of football. The first half of the game was all Maroon. They waded right into the Eldorado giants and scored a touchdown in the first seven minutes of play. Capt. Hickman tossed a fifteen yard pass to Knight who was waiting across the goal to receive it. Hickman added another point by his kick from placement. The Maroons held Eldorado scoreless dunng the remainder of the first half, and it ended with Benton riding on the top of a 7-0 score. In the third quarter, Eldorado's “beef trust , led by their giant fullback, Bried-cnstcin, plunged over with three touchdowns and brought the score up to 20-7. The maroons, determined not to be downed so easily, and fighting as only Benton’s famous Red Devils can fight, retaliated with a final touchdown on a line smash by Sears. Then, with only two minutes to go, they launched an aerial attack which stunned the Eldorado eleven. Starting on their own forty-yard line, they marched straight down the field, passing on almost every down for from five to ten yard gains, and were on the fifteen-yard line of the Saline County boys when the final whistle blew, leaving Eldorado on the long end of a 20-13 score. BENTON 0, JOHNSTON CITY 0 The Johnston City tilt, which ended in a scoreless tic, proved to be one of the most thrilling games of the year. Both teams came within scoring distance but were unable to push over a score. The Maroons were a better ground-gaining team, being accredited with nine first downs while Johnston was held to three. The “Red Devils started off in fine shape and, during the first quarter, carried the ball to Johnston City's fifteen-yard line and into a position to kick. However, they declined to do so because it looked too favorable for a touchdown. But Johnston City, backed up within her own fifteen-yard line, put up such a stubborn defense that the Maroons failed to make their yardage and Johnston City took possession of the ball. During the second and third quarters neither team advanced the ball into a scoring position. Both teams resorted to a cautious, defensive game, and did not attempt to make their yardage on the fourth down unless sure that they would s 58 THE SCARAB FOOTBALL—Continued Carrahzr succeed. This led to a kicking duel between Capt. Hickman of Benton and Capt. Barra of his opponents' team, with Hickman having the edge. In the final quarter both teams had a chance to score via the kicking route, but both failed to make good the attempt. Benton's chance came first when Sears scooped up a Johnston City punt and raced to Johnston's fifteen-yard line before being downed. Unable to advance, the Maroons attempted to kick from placemen: but fumbled, and Johnston City took the ball. Within the last five minutes of play, Johnston earned the ball within sconng distance for the first time in the entire game. On a senes of passes they carried the ball to Benton's twelve-yard line. The “Red Devils held them there. They attempted a kick from placement but the ball sailed wide of the bars. The game ended soon after with Johnston City in possession of the ball on Benton's twenty-yard line. BENTON 9, CARBONDALE 6 The Maroons came out of their slump in splendid style when they scored their first win of the season by a bnlliant victory over Carbondale. The game ended with the Maroons riding on top of a 9-6 score. The contest was replete with sensational line-smashes and spectacular plays from beginning to end. Both teams scored during the opening quarter. Benton scored first. The Maroons won the toss and scored without losing possession of the ball, Ross carrying the pigskin over after it had been brought down the field via some great line smashes by Hickman, Lowery, and Gasaway. “Cat also made good the kick for the additional point. Carbondale scored during the first period when they came through for a forty-yard run to a touchdown. They failed to register the additional point. The second quarter was scoreless, the ball being in play in the center of the field with neither team able to gain consistently. The third quarter went scoreless also. During the last few minutes of this period, the “Red Devils carried the pigskin to Carbondale's one-yard marker, but failed to score. Carbondale opened the final quarter with a deliberate safety on the first down, giving the Maroons a lead of 3 points. Following this, Carbondale left the 30-yard K � THE SCARAB FOOTBALL—Continued JoW£5 sector with a mighty rush of end-runs and forward passes, staking their claim on Benton's twenty-yard site before the Maroons were able to stop them. Carbondale failed to make good a drop-kick in the last minute of play, and the final score stood 9 6. BENTON 6, VIENNA 0. Vienna, although not a member of the Little Ten Conference, came to Benton for their fray with a clean slate for the year. They had played and won four games. During the greater part of the first half Benton was lax and unaggressive, and seemed to be content to let Vienna do most of the playing. But they came back stronger the third quarter, and played the usual good game during the last period. All of the scoring was done in the last quarter when Capt. Hickman chalked up six points by booting two field goals from placement. The first goal came after a few minutes of play in the last session. As a result of two long passes Benton netted twenty-eight yards. Knight and Doty were on the receiving ends while Hickman did the passing. This placed the ball on Vienna's ten-yard line, from where Hickman dropped back to his sixteen-yard line and booted the oval over the goal for three counters. The other score came in the latter part of the final quarter. Vienna had kicked out of bounds on her own forty-yard mark, and the Red Devils had carried the ball to the fourteen-yard line on smashes through the line by Sims and Gilmore. Hickman dropped back to his twenty-yard line and kicked goal from placement, which brought the final score up to 6-0 in favor of Benton. HARRISBURG 7, BENTON 0. Our next game, which was played at Harrisburg, proved to be a real battle Harrisburg, who was later crowned champion of the Little Ten Conference, nosed out the Maroons by a 7-0 score on a long pass in the last few minutes of play, and ended one of the feature games of the Conference. Harrisburg boasted an unbeatable team and were accustomed to winning by scores of from thirty to forty points. However, they were given the scare of their 60 THE SCARAB FOOTBALL—Continued lives when they hooked up with the Red Devils. They succeeded in making only one first down against Benton during the whole of the first half, while Benton was within scoring distance several times hut lacked the punch to put the pigskin over. Added to this, Harnsburg was accredited with only five first downs during the whole game, while the Maroons netted fully three limes the yardage gained by Harrisburg. Benton won the toss and chose to defend the south goal. Harnsburg kicked off to Gasaway who returned to his thirty-yard line. Gasaway and Gilmore reeled off two first downs. Harnsburg took possession of the ball in the center of the field on Gasaway's fumble. The Maroons held, and Harrisburg was forced to kick. The Maroon backfield failed to penetrate Harrisburg's line, so Hickman returned the kick. The Maroon line held and Harrisburg found it necessary to punt out of danger. Hickman fumbled and Harnsburg took the ball. Hickman intercepted a pass and ran fifteen yards before being downed. Hickman kicked out of bounds on Harrisburg's three-yard line as the first quarter ended. The remaining three quarters were practically duplicates of the first quarter, with Harnsburg on the defensive the greater part of the time. Harrisburg's lone touchdown came in the last three minutes of the game, after Hickman had been forced to kick from behind his goal, where a neat kick by Wilmoth had placed the pigskin. Harrisburg then worked the ball to the Maroon thirty-yard line and. on a fake end-run, passed over the goal for a touchdown. They succeeded in kicking the additional point, making the final score 7-0. BENTON 25, MARION 0. Marion, although not having a very successful season in football, had a team that fought the whole game through. The Maroons easily defeated them, running up a 25-0 score. Botch Jones, playing his first game in the backfield, starred on offense by scoring two touchdowns. Marion fought stubbornly the first quarter, but in the second period the Maroons launched a smashing attack which was equal in versatility to the aerial game Cl THE SCARAB FOOTBALL—Continued they displayed in the Eldorado game. They virtually ripped Marion's line into shreds with '‘Botch'' crashing through for six and eight yards time and again. The Red Devils scored their first touchdown in the latter part of the second quarter. They had carried the ball to the three-yard line and, lacking the punch to put it over, Marion was given the ball. Marion, in attempting to kick from their own goal, fumbled and Angus Knight fell on the ball for a touchdown. Hickman's kick for the extra point was blocked by Marion. In the second quarter Benton started out in earnest. Taking possession of the ball on their own forty-yard line, they started a march down the field and Botch carried the oval over without the Maroons losing possession of it. Hickman's kick for the extra point was wide of the bars and the score stood 12-0. “Botch” proved without question that he was a line-smashing demon when he plunged over for another touchdown within the next five minutes, and brought the score up to 18-0. Capt. Hickman ended the scoring when he snatched a Marion pass out of the air and raced twenty-five yards across the goal. His kick for the extra point was good. Final score, 25-0. BENTON 40, CHESTER 0. Little was known of Chester's strength when they came to Benton for their battle with the Maroons. Chester was a non-conference team and Coach Tabor scheduled the game chiefly to put the Red Devils in trim for their Turkey-day game with Frankfort. Chester proved to be easy for the Maroon machine which was working smoothly, and had no trouble in running up a 40-0 score. Mr. Tabor also had a chance to try out some of his subs and, in the last half, the team consisted chiefly of second string players. The Maroons started their attack at the beginning of the game and carried the pigskin over Chester's goal twice in that period. Capt. Hickman scored the first touchdown in the first five minutes of the game. The Maroons held Chester after the kick-olT and marched down the field to Chester's three-yard line, from where Hickman plunged over. He kicked goal for the extra point. From then until the G2 THE SCARAB FOOTBALL—Continued Our Winnings end of the game, it was just a question as to how large the score would be. “Botch Jones went across for another touchdown before the first quarter had ended and Hickman added the additional point with his toe for a 14 0 score. The Maroons crossed Chester's goal only once during the second quarter. They carried the ball to the four-yard mark on some beautiful ofT-tackle smashes by Gasa-way and Sims. Hickman then took it over and, also kicked the extra point. In the third period the Maroons brought the score up to 34-0 on touchdowns by Sims and Gilmore. Then, with almost all of the second team playing, they added another, “Botch” carrying it over on a cross-buck, and raised the grand total to 40-0. BENTON 9, WEST FRANKFORT 6. It looked pretty blue for the Maroons when, on the eve of their annual game with the Red Birds”, their bitterest rivals, an announcement was made that Capt. Hickman would not be able to take part in the Turkey Day battle. The game proved to be one of the fiercest struggles of the year. It was exceedingly rough, with Frankfort drawing many fifteen-yard penalties for unfair play. “Cat Ross, alternating with Quillman in Hickman's position, scored all of the “Red Devils’ ” nine points by booting a field-goal in the second quarter, and scoring a touchdown in the last five minutes of play. The first quarter gave neither team the lead. Frankfort kicked off to Gasaway, who returned five yards. The “Red Devils” failed to gain and Quillman kicked to mid-field. The ball exchanged twice in succession on fumbles. Frankfort reeled off three successive first downs before Benton was able to hold and force them to kick.

To begin the second quarter, Mitchell's attempt to punt went straight up and Benton took the pigskin on Frankfort’s eight-yard line. Coach Tabor substituted Cat” Ross for Quiliman and he booted the ball between the bars for a three-pointer. In the last minute of the third quarter Frankfort carried the ball to Benton's five-yard zone. Frankfort failed to put it over and, in the beginning of the fourth, the Maroon line held like glue. Benton took the ball and after kicking to midfield, held Frankfort and recovered the oval. They then carried it to Frankfort's fifteen-yard line and Tabor again replaced Quiliman with Ross. His attempted place-kick was blocked, but Gasaway recovered for Benton. At this time “Botch Jones, by putting forth some of the best line plunging the fans had witnessed since the days of “Bull Roberts, placed the ball on Frankfort’s three-yard line. “Cat then circled right end for a touchdown and victory. THE SCARAB Basketball THE SCARAB Basketball Benton opened her cage season wit It an encouraging victory over Bridgeport. Coach Tabor started the season's first game with Ross and Gasaway at forwards, Fry at center, and Doty and Lowery at guards. Lowery began the scoring with a free throw in the first quarter. This, coupled with Ross' two field goals and Fry's three frec-throws, brought Benton's total to eight at the end of the half. Bridgeport scored their only four points in this period. During the last half Benton totaled twelve points, which swelled the final score to 16-4. The next game, at Christopher, proved to be a tough one. Doty being sick. Coach Tabor started Philipps and Ross at forwards. Fry at center, and Gasaway and Hickman at guards. Christopher had a scrapping team, a small floor, and employed a five man defense—all of which made it a pretty hard game for the Maroons to win. During the first quarter Christopher piled up a 5-0 lead. Coming back in the second period Benton evened the score, and from then on the Red Devils were never headed. Score: 13-9. When they journeyed to Carbondale, the Maroons met their first reverse of the season. They had another small floor and also made use of the five-man defense—a combination hard to beat. The only change in the Maroon line up was Samuels, who worked at forward with Ross. The Red Devils held their own during the first half. However, in the third quarter. Carbon da] c covered them with a shower of baskets and boosted the score to IS-10. In the last period, the Maroons scored six points to Carbondale's three. Score: 2M6. The Maroons came back strong the following week by swamping Christopher 2X-8. Fry scored eight field goals and a foul for a total of seventeen points. The Maroons started ofT with a lead in the first quarter when Fry rung up two field goals and a foul, and Quillman added a two-pointer. After the half, it was just a question as to how large the score would be. Score: 28-8.

He was always dependable for his share of the baskets. since 1920, when they defeated them on their own floor. As the score indicates, the game was featured with close guarding by both teams. The Maroons clearly outplayed Marion during the first half. However, in the last, they were able to register only one field goal while Marion made five. Score: 10-S. For the second time this season the Maroons tasted defeat when they fell before Frankfort's husky Cardinals. It was a slow game, featured by good defense rather than offense. Sims was started os running-mate for Ross. Lowery instituted the scoring by chalking up two points on a beautiful shot from center. Ross followed with a free throw and Waller slotted a two-pointer. The score stood 7-3 at the half time and thereafter Frankfort was never headed Score: 13-7. Tabor’s “little men were defeated by Duquoin in their only over time game of the year. At the half the Maroons were in the lead by a two-point margin.

At the beginning of the second half the Maroons opened with a new burst of speed, and swamped Harrisburg under a shower of baskets, Ross getting six in the last half. Score: 27-15. When Marion came here to battle the Maroons, Benton handed them a 14-9 score for their second defeat of the year. It was a fast game with splendid defense, especially on Marion’s part. The Red Devils jumped into the lead at the beginning and succeeded in retaining it throughout the entire game. Fry, the leading scorer, garnered eleven of Benton's fourteen points. Score: 14-9. In one of the fastest games of the year, the Maroons bowed down to the fast King City quintet. Benton started out in whirlwind fashion, but her lead was not enjoyed long, as Mt.

During the first half Benton could not penetrate Herrin's airtight defense and they were trailing by a score of 5-11 at the half. That, however, ended Hernn's scoring. The second half was just the reverse of the first. By the end of the third quarter, the Maroons had forged ahead to a 14-11 count and then doubled the score during the final quarter. Score: 22-11.

Benton defeated Johnston City for her seventh consecutive victory by a score of 15-11. The win was more auspicious due to the fact that both Fry and Lowery were not able to play on account of sickness. Taylor was put in at guard, Doty moved up to running guard, and Hickman played Fry's position at center. In the last period Benton had to come from behind to win, as Johnston City set the pace all through the first three quarters. Score: 15-11.

To provide good, wholesome recreation for them the Girls' Athletic Association was organized in 1921 under the leadership of Miss Pauline Annin. The aims of this organization were to improve health, to promote interest in outdoor life, and to develop sportsmanship. Miss Helen Hochhaltcr succeeded Miss Annin as sponsor for G. A. A. In her, the girls have found a real leader, a true friend, and an inspiring adviser. To encourage participation in athletics the Association has adopted the Point System. Seven hundred points are required for the final reward, which is a white “B on a Maroon arm-band. This “B” will not be presented for less than two years' work. So far four girls have been awarded the “B . They are Permelia Ket-teman, President in 1923-24; Villa Mae Broughton, G. A. A. Cheer Leader; Lula Eovaldi, President 1924-25; and Annie Easley, Senior 1924-25. The major sports are volley-ball, basketball and baseball. The minor sports are tennis and hiking. About thirty girls turned out for volley-ball, making three class teams. On the day of the tournament the coach gave the Seniors red bands; the Freshics, yellow bands; and the soph-juniors, green bands. The Freshies won the championship. The losing teams then gave the victors a party, at which refreshments of brick ice cream and cake were served. The Freshman girls are a good, strong, lively bunch, and other classes will have to go some to dethrone them. 73 THE SCARAB G. A. A.—Continued Wildfires Only enough girls to make two teams responded to the call for basketball. They were called the “Wildfires and the “Nifty sixes' . Captains were chosen and all made ready for the tournament. The girls were very fortunate in having Miss Clara Blackard as Coach. The championship went to the “Wildfires after a hard battle. Last year the Girls' Athletic Association went to Sunnyside and stayed two days and one night. Everyone had such a good time that all are working hard this year to go to some camp for a stay of a week or more. Our first hike was a guest hike. Each girl invited someone whom they would like to have join the G. A. A. Later in the year a Kid party for the entire school was held in the gymnasium and an admission of 5c was charged. Refreshments of apples and candy were served. Groups were assigned at the first of the year and at our regular meetings (the last Wednesday in each month) they give entertainments. The group giving the best entertainment is to be selected by a judge and it will be given a party by the other two groups. Tennis has not yet been developed in our school; but the plan is to begin this sport as soon as a tennis court is provided. 74 the scarab G. A. A.—Continued Nifty-Sixes G. A.

Business never worried Arnold and to him promises were as good as sales. As his creditors'pressed him for their money, Trcllavan began to dismiss his help. Life was no longer worth while. Just at the critical moment, “In Walked Jimmy”, and by his smile worked a miracle. Jimmy had no trouble to win the favor of Miss Rogers and Kitty, but had a tough customer to handle in the person of Mr. Higgins, the landlord. The rent, which Higgins came to collect, was long overdue. By clever “make'believe Jimmy began to build up a real business. 86 THE SCARAB DRAMA—Continued Act 2. Mr- Trcllavan was a little worried that this “make believe was dishonest, yet he was learning to smile. Bobby and Kitty, under Jimmy's direction, went about making the factory present a prosperous front. Arnold made his declaration of love to Kitty, but she begged him to forget it. Among his many duties, Jimmy had managed a few moments alone with Kitty and had explained how he believed in love at first sight. Higgins could not be pacified and returned, only to be followed by two creditors from Rochester. Jimmy soon had them smiling and apologizing for the actions, and refusing their checks. Act 3. Time, 8 months later. Miss Rogers was decidedly happy, yet undecided about accepting the proposal of the postmaster. The Cinderella Company had now become a corporation The president even wore a pink shirt. Mr. Trcllavan had grown to love Jimmy suddenly. To spoil the happiness of Kitty and Jimmy, there arose suspicion—suspicion against Jimmy because he had arrived on the day of a certain train robbery. Arnold had become a detective and was trying to make the whole town turn against Jimmy. The people who had stock in the corporation were ready to sell it for half price. A warrant was sworn out for Jimmy and he was taken to jail. Act 4. Kitty saved the day by finding Jimmy's railroad ticket, which proved his innocence. Jimmy had allowed suspicion to rest on him to save Billy, Kitty's brother. Jimmy receives his just reward by winning the heart of Kilty.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JONES One of the most striking comedies of the year was the Junior play presented at the High School Gymnasium on March 27th. Amusing from beginning to end, the characters kept the audience in a continuous scream throughout the entire performance. The scene of the play was laid in the living room of a well-to-do family home. Overstuffed, mahogany furniture with the soft glow of black and gold lamps made an excellent looking home. Evening gowns and dress suits added to the appearance of the scene. Cast of Characters Jones..........................................

While there the police raid the building and they are put to flight. Upon arriving home they find Jones who, in order to set the policeman’s suspicions at rest, disguises himself as the Bishop. Complications arise, in the settlement of which we find that Jones is a salesman. Wishing to talk with Cissy he decided to take this as a means of doing so. He finds it hard to rid himself of Alvina who has carried on a love affair with the real bishop; however, he tells her that the real Bishop, who has now arrived, is his assistant. Richard is said to be the valet of the real Bishop, but is cleared later of the charge. The ruse by which the real Bishop is kept in ignorance is that he is an escaped Indian lunatic—being dressed by Jones for the part. When all things end we find the Bishop has seen his Alvina, Richard is re united with Marjorie, and Jones has permission to call on Cissy. BULBUL On April 17th the music department presented Bul-Bul in the Gymnasium of the High School. “Bui Bui was a great success, being very enthusiastically received by all the spectators. No better characters could have been selected for the parts, and each acted his pan perfectly. The arrangement of the scenery and the beautiful costumes added considerably to the dclightfulness of the play. Characters I-am-it Bui Bui Caspian Ida ..... Lilia .... Alain .. Do-say Just-so .............................John McCartney ........................... .....Ann Young ........................... Horace Wood ...............................

Synopsis I-am-it has just betrothed his only child, the Princess Bul-Bul, to the Pnnee Caspian and the prince is on his way to the wedding. The couple have never met, 89 THE SCARAB DRAMA—Continued and the princess vainly implores her father not to make her marry a man she has never seen. The prince determines to see his future wife before the betrothal cere-mony. He disguises himself and his friends as peddlers and they seek the palace. The prince enters the garden and meets the maids of honor. After much persuasion, he is allowed to seek the princess, who is roaming disconsolately through the woods. The prince-peddler speedily wins Bui-Bui's affections, and endeavors to persuade her to give up Prince Caspian and elope with him instead. This the Princess refuses to do. They agree to meet once more in the ballroom that evening to say good-bye. Unable to part with the man she loves, Bui-Bui hides himself behind a curtain. Con stcrnation reigns later when the king and court learn that the prince and princess both are missing. All are still more horrified when Bul-Bul enters the ball room, a long cloak over her gown, and announces that she will not wed the prince, but in stead the man she loves—a peddler. Throwing aside the curtain, she exposes the peddler to the full view of the king and court. Grief is turned to joy. The king recognizes in the supposed peddler, the prince, and Bul-Bul is too pleased at the outcome to be indignant at the prank played upon her. In the meantime, Ida, who has always had a lingering fondness for the king, proposes to him under a promise he made that afternoon, and he is bound to consent. Alain and Lilia make a third happy couple. 90 THE SCARAB Organizations 91 THE SCARAB Press Club Under the supervision of Miss D. B. Kinneman, the Press Club was organized last year with the aim of the members to grasp the rudiments of journalism. It was through the efforts of this club that the news of Benton High was published in the Benton Evening News and the Benton Standard under the title, High School Notes. A big step forward was taken this year when it published the Echo , a truly high school paper The “Echo comes out every two weeks. Miss Kinneman is Faculty Adviser; Lena Kirsch, Editor-in-chief; Louise Stillcy, Assistant Editor; Frank Meadows, Business Manager; and Stuart Todd, Exchange Editor. The Press Club is regarded as the foremost club in our school. The rapid progress which it has made is evidenced by the completeness and thoroughness of its work in the “Echo. 92 THE SCARAB French Club The French Club was organized in 1925 with Miss Blackard as adviser Its pur pose was, and is, to give the members a more general knowledge of French. At the meetings, the conversation was earned on solely in French. This year the club was re-organized with the same adviser. The officers are: Omer Upchurch, President; Humbert Whaley, Vice-President; Sarah Marsh. Secretary; and Botch Jones, Treasurer. The meetings are held every other Friday during the regular class periods. Each pupil must prepare a talk or story beforehand, just as he would a regularly assigned lesson. Games are played, jokes told, songs sung, and stories read in French, and the socials are on the French plan. 93 the scarab Debating Club A The Debating Club was organised last year under the supervision of Miss Hargrove, with the name of “Egyptian Debating Society. Its aim is to make efficient debaters and to produce an interest in debating throughout the student body. The officers are: Martha Layman, President; Charles Hochman. Vice-President; and Florence Jackson, Secretary-Treasurer. The meetings arc held once every two weeks, at which interesting programs are given. Included in the entertainment arc debates of all types—comical, serious, extemporaneous; and musical numbers. For the purpose of obtaining experience for the triangular debate, two dual debates were held this year—one with Logan and one with West Frankfort. In these debates, both the negative and affirmative teams were victorious. 94 THE SCARAB Debating Teams Top Row—Negative: Martha Layman, Durward Martin, Omcr Upchurch, Wm. G Eovaldi. Bottom Row—Affirmative: Walter Ewing, Sophia Jo Neal, John McCartney, Lola Morris. Southern Illinois Champions Twenty Southern Illinois towns were grouped in triangles to debate, on February 24th, the question, “Resolved, that the Philippine Islands should be granted their independence within a period of two years. Mt. Vernon, Harnsburg. Car-bondalc, Duquoin, and Benton won their debates, and went into the finals on March 10th. In the final round Mt. Vernon was paired with Harnsburg in a dual debate, while Carbondalc, Duquoin and Benton were grouped in a triangle. Mt. Vernon and Harnsburg eliminated each other, while Benton defeated both Carbondalc and Duquoin, to win the championship. In the final round Omer Upchurch ably substituted for Wm. G. Eovaldi, who was ineligible for participation, and Paul Mams was selected as alternate for the negative. By virtue of this victory Benton was presented with a silver loving cup offered by the Southern Illinois Debating League to the school whose affirmative and negative teams won in the finals. or, THE SCARAB Home Economics Club The Home Ec Club was organized four years ago with a large enrollment. The object of the club is to spread a knowledge of Home Economics in all its branches to the girls of the school. It was reorganized this year with a membership of sixty. The officers are: Lela Morns, President; Hazel Morris, Vice-President; and Florence Jackson, Secretary-Treasurer. Misses Burkhart and Sense were chosen as advisers. Membership in the club is renewed at the end of each semester. The meetings are held bi-monthly in the Home Ec room, and the programs, prepared by the members themselves, arc very entertaining. Banquets and entertainments have been given throughout the year for different occasions. The customary ones arc the Mother-Daughter and Football-Basketball Banquets. Of all the entertainments in the school, these are looked forward to with the greatest anxiety because the Home Ec girls can prepare the best cats in town. or. the scarab Ag Club The Agriculture Club was organized four years ago and has proved one of the best organizatons in the school. Its aim is to promote agricultural interests in the community and to create a closer union between the boy and his father on the farm. The officers for the current year arc: Paul Glover, President; Carrol S.ms, Vice-President; and Neal Tucker, Sergeant at Arms. They entertained themselves early in the year with a Peanut Banquet, and later took the Home Ec Girls on a picnic. The Father and Son Banquet has become an annual event and is looked forward to with the greatest interest. At the meetings, talks are given on agricultural subjects and general discussions follow each talk. At one of the meetings a program was given by the Sesscr Ag Club. 17 THE SCARAB Quartettes Top Row—Boys’ Quartette: Myron Ingram, Second Tenor: John H. Gilmore, Baritone: Horace M. Wood, First Tenor; John McCartney, Bass. Bottom Row—Girls' Quartette: Aliee Ingram, First Soprano; Ann Young, Second Soprano; Brossel Doty, First Alto; Sara Marsh, Second Alto. Orchestra - Glee Club Concert The Orchestra and Glee Club concert was given on November 26th by the Music Department in the form of an eight-act play. Among the outstanding numbers were the girls' and boys' quartettes, the glee clubs, and the orchestra. An entertaining play was given by a group of boys only. On this occasion the selections of the String Quintet, composed of Charles Hoch-man, 1st violin; Carmen Brown, 2nd violin; Thomas Moore, viola; Sara Marsh, violoncello; and Alice E. Gardner, Pianist; were highly applauded. In addition, costume numbers of all sorts were given. Humorous selections, the best of which was “Topsy and Eva”, in Do, Re, Mi”, by Frances Hickman and Ruth Browning, added to the novelty of the affair. 98 THE SCARAB Glee Club BETA MU Beta Mu was organized at the beginning of the school year 1924-25 under the supervision of Miss Veronica Davis. The officers of the club are: Horace Wood, President; Edward Jackson, Vice-President; Mural Wilson, Secretary; and Virginia Knccht, Treasurer. The aim of the club is to produce better music and to stimulate interest in it At the meetings, which are held once a month, reports are given on music of different countries.
