THE SCARAB History Seventy-six of the one hundred sixty Freshmen who entered high school in 1Q-1 arc now Seniors. 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
