Foulk Hi torn (Of il'cnton (Count ftltiv Hi it It School The Menton Township High School was established as a three-year High School m the year 1885. with an enrollment of aliout forty or fifty students. The School was first located where the Logan Grade School now stands, and later moved to the spot of the Lincoln Grade School Building. Professor S B. Whittington was the principal at this time. The first class to graduate from this school was in 1888. with a graduating list of twelve. In 1909 the school was moved to where it is now situated, with an approximate enrollment of sixty. Mr. Cooke was the Principal. The first class to be graduated from this building was in 19011. with only five students receiving diplomas. It i-i mt r« siin r t n)t that the lowest number ever to be graduated was in 1908 with two in the graduating class. ’I he highest number to be graduated is the present year with the number of one hundred and fifty four. The enrollment of the school grew rapidly and in 1918 it was necessary to build an addition to the building. After the new building had been erected and the grounds landscaped. tn H nton Township High School became one of the beauty spots of Little Egypt. Last year four acres of ground adjoining the school on the north and west were purchased. In tae near future Tabor Athletic Field will be completed and a new gym ami auditorium will be erected.

Rui a sad hour is now at hand. Many close friendships will be broken asunder as we depart. We shall no m re till these halls with our mirth and laughter. Gone are the clas$-mee‘,mgs and the class social affairs, and it leaves a trace of sadness that we shall have these no longer. In September. 1926 the class of '39. with an enrollment of 28? presented themselves for admission to B.T.H.S. At our first class meeting we elected the following officers: Winston Lewis, president; Wilmer Carr, vice-president: Lorraine Ludwig, Socretary-Trea-surer; Mr. David McIntosh and Miss Virginia Brown sponsors. During the Halloween season we entertained with a Halloween party. The next year fond a hap.i group of girls and boys ready to bear the trials of a Sophomore, thoroughy delighted that they were no longer “Freshmen”, no longer targets for the wit of upper-c!ajsmen. We elected James Dobry, president: Lorraine Ludwig, v c president; Martin Webb, secretary-treasurer; Miss Brown and Miss Ditto, class ad-v s .. Our first entertainment was a weiner roast at Sunnyside Club. Later in the year we held a pnrty in the gym. In 1928 Miss Clara Blackard and Miss Ellen Burkhart were elected class sponsors; G?orge Moore. president; Webb Johnson. Vice President: Helen Williams. Treasurer; James Dobry, Secretary; Ford Lipscomb. Echo Reporter. Ruth Martin and John McAfoos. St irtert Council. We had a class party early it ll e season. Nearing the end of school we « ntertained the Seniors with a reception. The morning of Sept?mber 3, 1929. dawned bright and glorious for us “dignified, S ni. -;. T ii year we elected C.aude Rea.

Slightly doubtful that we would ever become accustomed to the huge building, we stumbled about, somewhat bewildered. At our first class meeting we elected, faculty advisors. Mary Alice Kittenger and Hugh McKone; president. Golden McConnell; vice president. John E. Helm; secretary-treasurer, Victor Lewis. Rather socially inclined that year we had a Pirate Hike” (Girls dressed ns gypsies and boys as pirates), a picnic ton the shore of Lake Moses), two parties, and a play, which was given in an assembly. The following year when we returned lo Good Old Benton High (lor it had become that to us) we proudly displayed our knowledge of the way tilings are managed in high school, to the onlooking Frosh. We deleted for our faculty advisers. Albert Douglas and Sue Bramble; president. John Richard Troutt; vice-president. Golden McConnell: secretary, Oberia Conover; treasurer. Wayne Lewis; Echo Reporter. Jean Burkhart; student council. Jeanne Webster. We had two parties during the year. Returning to school in 1929, we elected, faculty advisers. Mary Huntington and Ruth Ixmg; president.Jean Burkhart; vice-president. Walter Alvis; secretav, LaVonne Taylor; treasurer. Mildred Dudley; Program committee member, Mildred Click; and student council. Marietta Fitzgerrell and Ernest Henry. We had two parties and a play. We conducted the candy stand at the ball games with the Seniors. It is with the realization that next year is our last year in B.T.H.S., which has afforded us so many good times and much happiness, that we await with regret Sept.. 1930. pnjjr 49 piHK 50 iiuluiimuTs P :«. n 1950 SCARAB , Carl Jacob Harold Johnson Ida Kell Evelyn McCarty Fred Sudden Thomas House Allene Williamson Mildred Daly Roger Neal Fred Hurkett Eudora Dickey Ferrel Kirk Hazel Jonea Glad) Gunter Normsn Wingo Aiken Kirk Francis Kuzen Florence Shepherd Pngc 52 Alexandra Vnrlaskln Virginia Foss Aileen Wentz Amy Warren Charles Kinkade Dwight Hoyles Madge Moore Pearl Mumbower Theodore Mosaman Katie Dezino Loretta Jonea Ruth Rhodes Ruby Lundy Virginia Rice Eugene Upchurch Ruth Whaley Aileen Webb Mildred McKay 1930 SCARAB Ml Lew in Smith Kenneth SwofTord Inn Phillips Allen Palmer Harold Smith Matilda lloris Marion Clayton Mnhel Flach Ruth McGee Helen Draper Kenneth Whittaker Daniel Webb Evertt H ungate Madge Carr Yashti Jones Ralph Mandrell Katherine Smith Ward Phillips Thomas Ren Jimmy Midyett Claude Rhoden Ruby Tate Ernestine Jones Walter Fix Edith Dillon Fred Comstock Kenneth Sears Jewel Mayer Wilbert Scrianko James Towal Jaunita Jones William Young Josephine Franklin Sidney Page Ruth Gammon Dorothy Moore 1930 Euell True Vincent Horning: Lena Edwards Stanley Duhnnosky Jane Kirsch Hichnrd Whittcnbornc Opal Hollins Elinor Logan Opal Pirtle Flora Marlin Ollie Fritz Jean Joseph Earl Monan Doris Crouch Hazel Baldwin Evelyn Hrittin Ruby Mnndell Marie SJayton y.i r 5-1 Marie Hughes Dir.nnu Smith Morris Smith Marvin Lawson Jessie Trecce Claudio Varlashkin Addison Brawi Icy Joe Clinton Pauline Doty Erir.cl Dickimon Curran Fie'da He: man Simpscn Joyce Dickinson Genevieve (Junn Pauline Slay ton Esther Hughes Harry Hoyles Cai lien HoJ e 1930 SCARAB Mnry Lee Philip Grace Ludwig Berlin Smith Louise Simpson Edsel Hayes William Mnnicr Cloe Alexander Helen Moore Eugene Bain Laura Belle Johnson Brook Miller Ronald Pickard Don McGassen Donald Aiken Mnry Neal Brook House Earvin Simpson Gene House Virginia Young June Tally Evan Smith Darrel Kern Marjorie Haithcoat Floyd Foster Marie Mandrell Ralph Wilkerson Ulyas Threewit Pnyr 55 IQSCARAB |i k.—-ji I ‘nphnnuuYs You can always tell a freshie, By his green and country looks; You can always tell a Junior, By his study and his books.

Doc Natho working as lightweight coach carded several games for his proteges and finished the season with a good record. This squad is made up of members too light for the Varsity or too inexperienced for the hard, close scrimmaging necessary to win a place on the heavy-weight squad. They do however furnish the Varsity with oncoming material that is trained in the fundamentals of the game and who are ready to learn the liner points of the contest. Doc” in his years as coach of this squad has turned over to Tabor such stars as Fray, Gilmore, Foulk, Dobry, Rhodes. Williams and others. Beginning their season with a 6-0 victory over Johnston City the light-weights got down to hard practice and made a real effort to whip together a strong, winning combination. Their second game found them improving greatly and by the end of the season they were able to give the Varsity stiff competition. Many members of this year’s squad will no doubt pass on up to the Varsity to fill the s io s of the graduated regulars and with this training as a background should give Benton another winning Ranger eleven.

Williams, Kra.t Furnishing an event at which boys could sp?nd part of their idle time, between the hours of four to six in the evening, and giving several youngsters a chance to develop their art of playing, the present league season proved to be a great success. Thirteen teams endured the long schedule, and the final outcome was only decided after a tournament held at the last of March. At the beginning of the season, the Blac’t Cats clawed their way to tt.e top of the ladder which they held for a short time, until it was handed over to the Ravens The Raxens flew fleetly for a while, but were pushed out of first place by the Elephant Ears. These two teams shared the lead the rest of the seas n. the Black fats also had their claws on the Honor Roll, each of three teams possessing a .750 percentage. The climax of the season found the first eight teams down th list, playing it out in the tournament. Surviving through the semi-finals, the Fur-Fliers ami Aces hooked up in the final match, which was played before the as embly. The game hurd-taught and full of thrills, ended with the Aces winning by the small close score of 11-12 basketball P«l)f 77 1930 SCARAB 1929-30 BASKETBALL SEASON Fighting their way through a strenous schedule the Benton Ranger basketball squad realized another successful season by coasting into second place in the Big Seven conference and going to the finals in the local district tournament. The Tabormen team was built around four veterans, Munday, Mania, Henry and Eskew with three other boys, Smith, Rhodes and W. Henry all playing the fifth position alternately. At the beginning of the season their style was a fast breaking off nse and a five man checking defense. This style didn’t seem to be the team’s brand of ball and the zon checking defense was practically abandoned with the man to man defense tak..:g its place. Using the different style, Benton's team developed inio one of the strongest aggregiations in southern Illinois. There was hardly a game played on the local floor without the house being filled to capacity. One of the fastest games ever witnessed in the Brnton High School gym was the Carbondale tilt on J:.nua. v 24th. Tabor’s warriors came bach i the last half to win 29 to 24 afte: being badly beaten in the first b. a 14-5 count. In winning the other games, B n-ton flashed an unbeatable drive when they defeated the Alumni, Mar'on, Herrin and Murphyshoro by top h- avv scores. The second game with Marion showed the Rangers slowing up to only win by or.e point. Mt. Vernon. McLcansboro, West Frankfort and Harrisburg were beaten by Tabor’s charges twice each. Mt. Vernon played within one point of them the first time they met but were snowed under a 32-9 score in the second clash. Th Rangers had only one game each scheduled with Valier and Galatia a-.d rlthough they defeated them by P.ior r« 93Q SCARAB 4 -.. l 'g scores the Kamos were close throUKhout the first halves. The locals had little trouble in vanquishing the Ewing team on the home court 28-13. Hurst-Bush proved to be a tough piece of timber the second time they met the Maroon and White. They threw up an almost air tight defense and it was not until the game was over that the Rangers fans were really sure the contest was won. It is interesting to note that Benton lost a game on the local floor nor were defeated twice by any on-' team. Games lost by Benton were to Hurst-Bush . Ewing, Herrin, Murphys-boro and Carbondale. The one lost to Hurst-Bush was played without the rid of three regulars who were still out for football. Ewing won from the Rangers on their floor. Eskew was absent which no doubt greatly weakened the local’s defense. Of the three conference games lost, two were in overtime periods and one by only two points. The clash won by Herrin was close throughout with neither team having the advantage by one or two points. The score at the end of the first quarter stood 6-6. Herrin was leading at the half 11 to 10. The count was again tied a.t the end of the third period 17-17 after which the Rangers gained a small lead only to be tied in lhe closing seconds and defeated 26-23 in a three minute over-time period. It was on the night after the first Carbondale-Benton tilt that the Tabor-nrn bowed to the Murphysboro Red Devils. The Rangers were in the 1 ad 10 6 at the half and held the advantage up to the last second of the '•-•mo when Munday went out on personals. Murphysboro won 17-16 in an over-time. One more basket in this clash would have made Benton Co-Champions of the Big Seven. The championship however was lo;t when Tabor’s chargis were defeated by a 79 1930 SCARAB Hi-1 I score at Carbondnli before a capacity crowd tlint jammed lhe S. I. N. U. gym. Although they didn't win the con-fero-tce. the Red Rangers carried off the high point honors. In the mini-her of | oints scored Renton ranked first. Cnrlmndnle second, and Murphys boro third with Herrin being fourth. Munday was the Big Seven individual scorer finishing far ahead of Holder from Cnrbondale. his closest rival. On the Ranger five Monday scored a total of 24! paints. Mams 101. Ernest f.2. Eskew 57, and Smith 33. After th • Rig Seven schedules were closed, a team that any high school coach would he proud of composed of Monday and Henry of Rent n, and Garner. Holder and Presley of Carbon-dale were selected as the all-conference five. Munday and Holder wen-given berths both for speedy floor work and accuracy in basket shooting. Presley, a forward, was placed at the center position. The two guards. Henry and Garner, were outstanding both last season and this. Munis was selected as a guard for the second team and Eskew was given honorable mention. In the district tournament which was held at Benton one week after the season’s schedules were closed, th? DuQuoin Indians sprang a surprise in the Ranger camp when they sesawed through four games to win the tourney. T- bar’s charges launced their first attack against the Christopher five and came out on top by a 25)-12 score. DuQuoin gained their first victory from the MeLeansboro quintet 22 11. The Indians next victim was the West Frankfort Red Birds who wilted after a hard struggle and staggered down the long lone of defeated teams to the tune of 2G-20.

Mooneyham. Maithcoat. Young. Borowski. Eskew SUMMARY OF 1929 CROSS COUNTRY Winning from Carbondalo, Herrin, and Harrisburg, three of the strongest teams in Little Egypt,” the Ranger Cross Country team composed of such stars as Haithcoat. Eskew, Borowski, Young, Jacobs and Mooneyham galloped through the season without tasting a defeat. The boys were not pushed to any exertion in the three races, and no one knows just what they could have done, if only urged to put out their best. Since cross country running was introduced here in 1928 Benton has never been defeated. 1929 TRACK SEASON Possessing a well-balanced ability in all phases of track and field, and having that desire to “Practice and get perfect, the 1929 Ranger Track Team reached a point where it can not only be said that it was practically the best ever produced at this school, but with pride it can be looked upon as the 1929 “spotlight in the Southern Illinois track world. A look into the trophy case shows what the trackmen won for the school, and the many medals which members of the squad received reveals the fact that they were fleet of foot, powerful with .he weights, and active in .he jumps. In the dashes such men as Munday, Bain, Fray, Rea, and Dobry set all tracks on fire when they flashed down the cinder paths to break the tape or be in reach of the winner. The snuke made by their spikes upon the track was all that remained to be seen by lookers-on. The mile and half-mile runs were feutured by ehe performances of Cunningham, Hess, Vancil, and Staudt. Gilmore, Munday and Malone did well in the distance and weight events, being able to gather several points during the season, despite thp fact that they were up against the best men in the state. The main point getters in the huiJits were Fray, Owens, McAfoos, and Owen, while Johnson, Dobry, and Mider carried off the henors in the jumps. Johnson won the pole vault at the Big Seven P iyf 8-4 J 93 O SCARAB 1929 CLrnrk CLran Front Row: Staudt Fray. Cunningham, Rea. Johnson. Miller, Munday, Gilmore Back Row: O. Owens. Bain. Vancil, Haithcoat. A Owen, McAfoos, Dobry, Hess and Southern Illinois meets, tied for first in the county, and took second at the Herrin Relay Carnival. Coach Tabor and his long distance five, consisting of Cunningham, Hess, Vancil, Staudt, and Young, journeyed to Carlyle and there trotting over hill and dale against runners from all sections of the state, carried away the Cross Country bacon. Had not Hess attempted to jump a ditch at the finish, he would have won the race, giving the Rangers a still more comfortable margin. But as it was, the boys had less points scored against them than any other school, and therefore cook ihe event. With few tough foes in their path at the County Meet on Tabor Field, the Benton lunners outclassed their bordering competitors to take first place, with West Frankfort, their old rival, coming second, and Christopher finishing third. Benton gathered GS1 points. West Frankfort 62, and Christopher 18. Scoring three firsts and placing in nearly event event, Benton tied with the Herrin Tigers for high honors in the Big Seven Conference Track meet held at Harrisburg. Each totaled 43 points. Seveial records were not able to endure the attacks made by trackmen and were broken. Hess stepped the mile in 4:42 for a new record, and the old Pole Vault record fell when Johnscn cleared the bar at the dizzy height of 11 feet. G inches. The records in the 220 lew horeles, bread jump, discus, and shot were also brought co che ground by • ther : choo.s. Midst a field of twenty-two schools gathered at Harrisburg to represent the Southern Illinois District, and in a ccntest that was cn'.y decided after the last race was run, the Ranger Track Squad dashed to victory with a pile of 39 V4 points and Herrin was striking at their heels, getting 38. Before the running of the Varsity Relay, Benton had 35 6 points as against 33 for Herrin. Herrin finished first and Benton second, leaving the final score: Benton 39 6; Herrin 38. If the Maroons had failed to place in the event, Herrin would have won the meet. Bi t the boys had the fighting spirit, and came near to winning the Relay. Thus Bentcn was champion of Southern Illinois. 1930 SCARAB Front Row: Malone, Hall, Bertoni, Owen. Johnson, Shaw, Rea, Black, Rhodes. Jacobs. Dobry. Second Row: Henry. Runnels.

Mrs. Hassle Sinclair, and Mrs. R. M. Cantrell. The address of the evening was given by Mrs. Silas Echols of Mt. Vernon, who is prominently identified with girls work in Southern Illinois. This is the second annual banquet the Business and Professional Women have given to the seniors girls as a part of their work along educational lines. (thiss Proplu'cn It was during the summer of 1940 as I sat at my desk in the news room of the Chicago Tribune that I was awakened from a meditative mood by the summons of an office boy who had been sent to ask me to report to the managing editor for an assignment. The instructions of the managing editor were brief: Prepare to catch the 9 o’clock train for your old home town of Benton tonight. A great catastrophe has occurred at one of the mines. Hundreds of men are said to have been entombed in the mine. Your duty is to get the sob story and George Staudt will accompany you to carry out the detail and regular news stories.” 1 regretted the nature of my mission although I was glad to have the opportunity for a visit to Benton, where I could again get in touch with the Seniors who graduated with me from B. T. H. S. in 1930. As I boarded the train I recognized Carl Manis os the Pullman conductor and on the way down heard much from him concerning my old classmates. Barney Munday, he said, was athletic coach at Ina High School, while Dorothy Seeber and Helen Doliins were teaching in Benton High, while Dorothy Joyner and Marjorie Smith were teaching in the grade schools. Elliott McReynolds, Carl went on, was building up a great chain of clothing stores throughout southern Illinois; John McAfoos had taken over his father’s feed and implement business and Jim Dobry and Beverly Crawford had gone into a partnership to consolidate a great chain of filling stations and barbecue stands. Oradell Taylor had but recently been made head nurse in the Moore Hospital, under Austin Owens, the chief ourgeon. It was shortly after daylight as we passed through Ina and there was Max Kirk on the station platform wearing the badge of stntion master. He waved a greeting and pointed out a man near him wearing a long moustache and pair of blue overalls who, Carl explained, was Ford Lipscomb, garage mechanic and handy man about town. On reaching Benton I made my way first to the office of the local newspaper where I found George Dickinson in charge as editor, who, after a casual greeting directed George Moore, a reporter, to accompany me to the mine and introduce me to the officials who would give me the story of the explosion. At the mine 1 found Ramon Malone in charge os superintendent, with Martin Webb as chief engineer. At the office switchboard was Anna Dial and in the accounting and billing department were Johanna Johnson, Cornelia Frier and Reita Broughton. Bob Rotramel was in charge of the rescue work and Corwin Carroll and Webb Johnson were 930 SCARAB serving ns deputies under Sheriff Clarence Hnrt to keep the crowd of curious npcetator away from the slmft. Howell Waller was on the scene, being employed ns nn ambulance driver for the firm of Irwin Coltrln and Elmer Brown, undertakers. Among the doctors there to render first aid to the miners ns they were brought to the surface, I recognized Dallas Kern, and near him stood Basil Akin, who, I later learned was a representative of the coni company’s legal department. One of the first men to be brought to the surface after I arrived at the mine was Winston Lewis who, after n careful examination was found to be suffering from no serious injury. All during the day I watched the faithful work of the rescue crews, and from various persons about the shaft learned much about my former classmates. When my final story for the day had been sent to the telegraph office, I sought out the home of my old chum, Ruth Wimberly, where I spent the night hearing more and more about the Seniors of 1930. I learned that Helen Williams had a regular job with station W. E. B. Q., and was the sweetheart of the air. Maxine Musgrave and Leah Pyle had been disappointed in love and had been teaching in a girls boarding school some place in the West. Carrol Payne is manager of the Fox Capital and is showing all the Wild West pictures he can. The next day being Sunday, Ruth wanted to take me to Sunday School and Church. Claude Rea was our Sunday School teacher, some of the members of the class were Winifred Stone, Edith Tate, Mable Warrenburg, Violet Simmons and Fred Holloway. As the Church hour neared, Seba Marshall, the preacher made his appearance. The Ushers, Aud Gunter, John Warren, Lester and Virgil Puckett, Taylor Neal and Carl Moore, were doing their duty. Roy Whitacre came in and took n front seat. I wondered why he was wearing elegant clothes, later I learned that he was Mayor of che town. A very large Choir then came in, consisting of Lola Lee, Ruth Lewis, Audrey Rogers, Virginia Browning, Pauline Davis, Geraldine Harrelson, Helen Sanders, Wanda Wills, Ruby Stewart, Noble Smith, Berchal Shaw, Ed Neal, Earl Pickard and George Runnels, with Josephine Waller acting as organist. The deacons were: Bennard Williamson, John Warmley, Damon Sommers, Harold Mercer, Hercel Smith and Robert Williams. After Church, Ruth invited Ruth Seeber, Adeline Green and Ruth Martin to join us at the Crouch Cafe for dinner. Upon entering I met my old 'riends, Josephine Eovaldi and Pansy Buntin. Both were living in New York but were making a tour of the United States and decided to visit Benton, with the rest of the great cities. I learned from them that Charles Duncan was getting rich on Wall Street and chat Maude Simpson was a distinguished artist but living a very wild life. Jo and Pansy decided to join our party and we were directed to a table by one of the waitresses, Doris Runnels. Our orders were taken by another, Marjorie Stalcup. She told us that Lorraine Ludwig and Freda Mundell were chief cooks. While chatting I learned that Virginia Morris and Edna Pearce had entered the movies and had made a great success In the talkies. Looking around I saw at another table Val Campbell and Mary Holloway. After while Newt Black came into the Cafe dressed in a speed cop uniform. We overhead him telling Joe Attcberry, who was also wearing a uniform that he had just fined Ramono Miller and Thomas Dixon for speeding. When we had finished I told Nemaclaire what a lovely Cafe I thought she owned. We then paid the cashier, Hazel Goessman, and headed for home that I might pack my things, as I had to leave that night.
