S. four years a graduation loomed far in the distance. Now that we have a'most reached this coveted goal we feel a trace of regret in leaving our dear old alma mater. Th- first day of September, in theyear of 1928, witnessed the admission of 260 Freshmen to Benton High School. Karly in the year we elected Claude Rhodes, president; Franklin Malin. vice-president; and Ida Kell, secretary-treasurer. Mrs. Ruth Blakey and Byron Hargrove were our advisors. We had only one party during the year. The fo'lQwingyear we returned to school, glad that we were no longer conspicuous as Freshmen. W • agiin elected Claude Rhodes, president; Vincent Horning, vice-president; Ida Kell, secretary: Brooke House, treasurer: Mary I. Martin, student councillor; Carl Jacobs, program committeeman; George Moore and Byron Hargrove, class advisors. Early in the year we had a party. In the year of 1930-31 we elected Carl Jacobs, president: Gene House, vice-prsident, Dwight Boyles, secretary; Thomas House, treasurer; Carlton Hodge and James Towal, student councillors; Ida Kell, program committeeman: and Ellen Burkart and George Moore, class auvisors. In February we had a Hard Times” party. Near the end of school we gave a play. “Skidding”, which was a big success. Later we entertained at a reception for the Seniors. Now sophisticated seniors! We elected this year for president, Kirby Webb; Dwight Boyles, vice-president; Carlton Hodge, secretary and Gene House, treasurer. This year we elected Mr. McKone and Miss Huntington as advisers. Our social events and class intellectuals were successful. We had a “Prosperity” party in contrast toour Junior “Hard Times” party. The Junior-Senior Reception and the Prom were also features of the year. The senior play might be said to have been successful from every point of view. We hope in our four happy years, we have contributed our bit to our alma mater. We regret that we are leaving without having done more for B. T. H.

Wilbur “Hut Rock Henry--Wilbur heard the beckoning call of football the moment he entered the portals of B. T. H. S. In his Freshman year he played on Doc’s lightweight team. Last year he was a reserve on the varsity eleven, but coach Tabor seeing need for a capable man. found him a position as quarterback on the championship eleven of this year.

T. H. S. In his Freshman and Sophomore years he played on “Doc’s” lightweights. He was called to work at center for the varsity eleven and has done splendid work. He will no doubt be next year's center. Allan Hud’ Palmer—Allan is a good example of the true Ranger. He went out for football his Sophomore year where he played on the bantamweight squad. In his Junior year he received a broken leg while in action and was forced to retire for the rest of the season. This year he came back with more pep than ever, and did his part as a cackle. Arol “ VI Kern—Arol is the otherof the two Sophomores on the football squad. Last year he was a reserve on the squad but came forth to fill a regular berth at end this year.

Benton 31 Eldorado 0 Reingout-weighed twenty pounds to a man the Maroons downed their next foe, Eldorado on October 2 by a score of 31-0. The Tabor protoges scored all of their points by a brilliant aerial attack. The Claytonmen were never a serious threat not being inside the TalH� rmen’s forty-five yard line. Benton 42 Carterville 0 On October 9 the Reds played their first conference game under the floodlights on Tabor field with the Carterville I,ions. Benton scored 24 points in the first quarter, two touchdowns by Nerone and one each by Rhodes and Henry. It took only two minutes and four seconds for the Rangers to score their first marker. Due to numerous substitutions, the regular line-up saw action in the first quarter only. In all Coach Tabor used thirty-six players. Benton 46 Hurt-Bush 0 Continuing their winning streak the Maroons defeated Hurst-Hush October 16 by a decisive score of 46-0. A great offensive drive was put on by the Red and Whites which netted them 26 points in th� first half.

His last two years he played regularly and was placed on the mythical Big Nine second team both years as a result of his stellar performance. Marvin Buckner Lawson—Lawson was also a reserve his first two years in school. Last year he played at forward regularly and was high point man for the season. This year he has played in every game of the schedule and was second in the scoring column. He was also placed at forward on the All Conference first team this year. Wilbert Luke Johnson— Luke” played most of the season on the undefeated second team as center and guard, seeing some action on the varsity at times. He is a very cool man and one that is to be needed in a crisis. Don Preacher” Rector—Although Don is only a Sophomore he is one of the most brilliant players on the Benton cage squad. Playing at center and guard this year, he has not missed a single game all season. With two more years to go, Don should eventually prove a star because of his jumping and playing abilities. “Pontiac Finalists' 71 Alfred “Shorty” Manis—Manis is another of the Sophomore stars. Although he has played in almost all of the second team games, he has done his share in winning several varsity games. He will no doubt be next year’s center. Wilbur “Hot Shot” Henry—Wilbur is an all a-round man on a basketball floor, fitting in at any position for which the occasion calls. He played most of the games this year at guard, at tim«s going in at forward. Wilbur was high point man this year with 206. His coolness in critical moments rated him as one of the most ren arkable players in this part of the state. John “Tee'h” Wallace—Johnny is only a Junior and one of the fastest men on the Tabor aggregation. As a shot he has a place high up in the Benton ranks. His most noted performance was given in the first Johnston City game. Claude “Dusty Rhodes—Claude has been one of Talior's regular loi v aids for four years. His speed on the floor is remarkable, which makes up for his poor shoot-ng eye. He is one of the best dribblers in the? conference. It was his long shot that trought about the defeat of the Johnst-m City Indians in the Sectional Tourney. ‘Tin e Out fayt r Arol “Poet” Kern—Arol brought out the Benton fans’esteem for him in that first Johnston City game. Although he has seen action in slightly more than half the games this year, he playeu regularly on the second team. Kenneth Glutton” Isaacs— Kenneth played as a reserve guard on the varsity squad. Most of his playing was done on the second squad, where he acted as captain. Eddie “Spa's” LefTler— Eddie, who is a Junior, spent most of his time winning games for the second team. However, he was also on Tabor’s shock troop roster and saw action in many varsity games. Harry Pokey Ludwig— Harry seems to be one of the most promising players Tabor has. He is fast and has an easy style of play. He has played in numerous games or. uoth teams and is apt to be a competitor for a forward position on the team next year. Walter Narkey” Norcross—“Narkey” is only a Freshman this year Last year he played on the Junior Ranger team where he starred at forward. He ha p’ay d in most of the second team games, and with three more years to go he is sure to occupy a regular berth on the varsity. “Undefeated Seconds” Hair TJ 1931-32 Basket Ball Season The Red Rangers winning 80 games out of 32, had the most successful basketball season in the history of the high school.
