THOUSANDS CHEER £ %± BENTON 12—CENTRALIA 6 The Benton Rangers took their second conference victory over the hard-playing Ccntralia Red-birds. A strong wind held the play to the ground, but the poor kicking of Ccntralia set up Benton’s first touchdown, and the second was made on a 5 3 yard punt return by Dale Connor. The first half of the game was all against Benton, but in the second half the Rangers outplayed them. BENTON 7—SALEM 7 The third rated team in the State, Salem, came to Benton with the still fresh memory of their 184-0 victory over Fairfield. The game started off as a big brawl with two 15 yard penalties on the Rangers in two plays, but it ended as a real game that showed the true power of the Rangers. BENTON 0—EVANSVILLE 32 To open the 1943 football season, the Rangers journeyed to Evansville, Indiana, to meet a strong Central High team. Central was supposed to have one of the best teams in the state and gave the inexperienced Rangers a good trouncing. The Rangers received several injuries which hindered them later. BENTON 46—MARION 14 BENTON 52—JOHNSTON CITY 12 The Rangers won their first conference victory of the season over a strong Marion team. This game showed a much improved Ranger squad. The back-field and line were co-ordinated perfectly. The scoring was divided up between Lowery, Johnston, Conner, Burkett, and Phillips. Phillips made his score on a blocked kick recovery. The strong aerial attack of the Marion team was held powerless until the last few minutes of the game, when the second team was sent in by Coach Rollins. The great Ranger line, led by Jim Lovin and Cotton” Cosgrove, began to show its power. BENTON 0—CHRISTOPHER 0 The Ranger’s hard luck streak continued from the Central game, and the Rangers were still unable to cross the last stripe. Most of the play was within the Christopher half, but the Rangers couldn’t get across the five yard line. The Rangers marched to a rousing victory over a weak, but game Johnston City team. The Rangers offensive was starred by long runs by Johnston, Lowery, and Sanders. Ewing Johnston brought his total of touchdowns to nine and Lowery raised his to seven. In the last quarter, the second team was sent in, and Johnston City made its two touchdowns. BENTON 45—DuQUOIN 0 Led by Captain Jim Lovin, the Rangers beat DuQuoin 45-0. Lovin set up a touchdown by blocking a kick, and Red” Lowery, the hard-driving fullback, made four touchdowns and three extra points. Johnston, Burkett, and D. Conner also scored for the Rangers. These hoys played on first eleven. Raymond Carlton Chester Grammar Doyne Garrett Hack Rote—Smith. Bennett. Sewell, Giles, Seymour, Jackson. Front Row—Fletcher, Sanders, Shutt, Warren, Wilson. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ■ ☆ “First Comes Courage” BENTON 14—HARRISBURG 7 A slightly headstrong Ranger team took the field against a hard-fighting Harrisburg team to win their third conference victory 14-7. I he Ranger attack was sparked by Red” Lowery who did all of the scoring for Benton by running over two touchdowns and making the two conversions. One of the Benton touchdowns was made on a freak blocked-kick play. Lowery used a little fancy headwork by Bill Cosgrove and a low Harrisburg punt to score the winning touchdown. This game was the last game for Chester Grammar who left for the Navy soon afterwards. Chester played a splendid game all year and was chosen on the all-conference first team. “A Tale of Two Cities” ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ BENTON 41—WEST FRANKFORT 0 At the closing gun of the annual Thanksgiving classic, the third rated team in the State and one of the best teams in the history of B. T. H. S. trotted off of the field with the Conference Championship and the largest score ever scored in a Thanksgiving game. This game was the first time this year that the Benton squad had used any passing and the Frankfort boys were totally unprepared for it. While the Benton boys, Burkett, Lowery, and Johnston were rolling up yards, the much praised Red Birds attack coul.ln t get started, and they gained only 71 yards through the line. Red” Lowery, the Ranger war horse, gained 110 yards for the individual crown. ''Red’s” wonderful running and playing won him a position on the All-State and All-Conference teams. The main reason for the zero after West Frankfort was the rip roaring game played by Jim Lovin and Bill Cosgrove in the line, or rather in the Red Bird backfield. Nearly all the Red Bird plays were stopped back of the line of scrimmage and only about ten plays gained any yardage. The Benton attack was led by Red” Lowery who scored two touchdowns and made five out of six of the conversions. Dale Conner threw three touchdown passes, two to his twin, Gale, and one to Jack Ponsctti. Kenneth Burkett ran over the other touchdown. So with this victor, the 33-0 defeat of 1941 can be considered truly avenged. —Jack Fi.oro Pape fourteen Pnyt fifltrn Parade “THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS” Red” Lowery and Jim Lovin were awarded positions on the All-State Team. Lovin was awarded the position of tackle, and Lowery was awarded the position of fullback. On the All-Star Conference Team, Lovin, Lowery, and Oiiiiimar were awarded positions on the first J( ’“team, bn the second team, Bill Cosgrove, Gale ' Conner, Dale Conner, and Ewing Johnston played on the mythical all-star team. czstytt- donfzxzncs, I.WING JOHNSTON, GALE CONNER, BILL COSGROVE, DALE CONNER BENTON 35—HARRISBURG 33 On December 17 the Rangers journeyed to Harrisburg. The Rangers won their first conference victory of the season from the Harrisburg Bulldogs. The Rangers started their conference play off right with Garrett as high point man with 12 points. Top to Itollom— BILL BROWNING GALE CONNER HOWARD JACKSON JACK PONSETT1 Page twenty BENTON 29—CENTRAL1A 26 On January 7, at the home of the Rangers, the Rangers won their second conference game in three tries, when they defeated the Orphans by the score of 29-26. Neither team displayed any real interest in the game. Garrett was high point man with 14 points. BENTON 32—FRANKFORT 40 On December 21, in the new gym, the Red Birds handed Benton their first conference defeat, by overcoming them with a final score of 40-32. High point man for Benton was Bill Browning, who contributed 10 points to Benton’s tally. BENTON 41—MARION 47 On January 14, the Benton Rangers were defeated by the Marion Wildcats on Marion’s hardwood. Marion started out with a big lead. In the second half, the Rangers rallied, and out-scorcd Marion, but they had too little and too late.” Browning was high point man for the Rangers with 17 points. Co-Captain IJOYNE GARRETT BENTON 53—HARRISBURG 31 The Rangers won their second straight victory over the Harrisburg Bulldogs, on January 28, at Benton. Co-Captain Doync Garrett was again high point man with 18 points. This was the Ranger’s third conference victory of the season. BENTON 44—FRANKFORT 49 On February 4, the Red Birds again defeated the Rangers on the former’s hardwood by the narrow margin of 48-44. The Rangers did some hard, fast, accurate playing in the final quarter of the game, but they were not able to overcome the powerful Red Birds. tl n BENTON 3 5—CENTRAEIA 5 1 On February 11, Centralia swamped the Rangers by the one-sided score of 51-35. Due to the present lack of transportation, Coach Rollins took only seven men. In the latter part of the fourth quarter, Rollins’ seven men were diminished to three. The Trout-men displayed excellent sportsmanship by also playing three-man basketball. BENTON 39—MARION 56 On February 18, Marion journeyed to Benton to hand the Rangers another conference defeat. Throughout the entire first quarter of this game, the score was neck and neck. The second half by far favored Marion. The final score was 56-39.

The Ranger basketball squad, led by co-captains Doync Garrett and Dale Conner, ended a very good season by defeating Christopher in the last game of the season. The Rangers won 14 games and lost 10, making a good percentage. They were beaten only by such strong teams as Marion, West Frankfort, Ccntralia, and DuQuoin. But of these ten defeats, five were in conference play which accounts for the low standing of the Rangers. The team had only three of the first ten back from last year and a new coach, but they were in wonderful form, winning the first four straight games. The team slumped during midseason when Garrett was not at his playing best, but revived at the last of the season to finish strong. Four of the first ten, Garrett, Browning, Lowery, and Neal arc graduating this year, but they leave behind them a good foundation for the ’45 team. Taking all things into consideration, we can proudly say that we had a very good basketball team this year, and Coach Rollins and all of the boys ought to be commended for their fine work.

The teams placed high in all meets consistently, winning the county meet at West Frankfort. The Rangers were especially strong in the field events. Raymond Carlton, who threw the shot and discus, was always to be counted on for a couple of first places. He was always closely contended by Chester Grammar and Richard Dixon. Captain Smith led the team in the dashes, and Bill Walker and Bill Sanders ran the mile. Jack Haysc, who represented B. T. H. S. in the State Meet, ran second in the high hurdles at the District Meet, beaten out by Moakc, the Frankfort Flash. The boys should be highly complimented on a very good season. —Jack Floro Page twenty-six This year the Boys’ Physical Education program has been very successful under the direction of Claude Rhodes. P. E., this term, was open to all boys, however compulsory for the Freshmen and Sophomores. The program was like those used for Army and Navy. The first six weeks was used for softball, soccer, and touch-football. During the second six weeks, tumbling was the chief sport. The third six weeks period, each boy was given a series of motor fitness tests. The best physically fit boy from each class was: Freshman.................................... Kenneth Auten Sophomore................................... Donald Crisp Junior Bill Sanders Senior ..... ............................... John West Boxing and wrestling were the sports for the fourth six weeks, and for the fifth and sixth six weeks periods, track and softball were the main exercises. Mr. Rhodes deserves a great deal of credit for the efficient way he handled these classes. Page twenty-seven ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Girls’ Physical Education ☆ Oik—two—three—four. That’s girls’ P. E. as taught by Miss Martha Jane Crawford. But it’s not all calesthenics. Tumbling and basketball, too, find their place. This is the first year, however, that all the girls in B. T. H. S. are taking P. E. on an organized basis. It is now compulsory, and four years of P. E. arc required to graduate. Sophomores have Mondays; Juniors, Thursdays; Seniors, Wednesdays, and the Freshmen have both Thursdays and Fridays. Vage twenty-eight The f tcvltr, TOP MAN ☆ MR. B.

S., Bowling Green; one year at University of Chicago. —Bon Dkason Jeanne Anne Shepherd Page thirty-five “Broadway Melody of 1944“ ☆ ☆☆☆☆☆ TEACHER’S The annual initiation of the new teachers provided an opportunity for them to display their his-tronic talents for the benefit of the older hands. The new teachers masqueraded to represent some song—some singly, some in pairs. They were forced to eat alone the tasty fried chicken dinner with the trimmings that was prepared under the supervision of Miss Webb. After the banquet they were taken to the square in all their finery to be stared at by the people lucky enough to be on the square. Various restaurants, cafes, and ice cream parlors were visited in which they performed and passed the hat. Back to school the procession then went. The main feature of the evening was a short playlet given in true musical comedy style. Paper Doll” and the INITIATION ubiquitous Pistol Packin’ Mama” were sung by all nine. Then each entertained with the song which he or she was dressed to represent. Miss Ewing and Miss Armentrout were Frankie and Johnny”—Miss A” was the male member of the famous duo. Miss Stiff proved to be a real pistol packin’ mama.” Mr. Bass and Miss Mazzara did the Bicycle Built For Two”; Ellis was the Italian fruit vendor who sings Yes, We Have No Bananas.” Hcinzman did the Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze without the trapeze, and the Misses Tasker and Adkisson performed, When You and I Were Young, Maggie.” In spite of the seriousness of the situation, the new teachers treated the occasion with the utmost levity and a grand time was had by all. Payr thirty-six ☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ We Won’t Forget” THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Robert Turnage, Mr. Carmen Taylor, Mr. Curtis Smith, Mr. Pete R. Ruth, Mr. Ben W. Eovaldi. We won’t forget these five men very soon. Their efforts to keep the school on a sound financial basis and improve B. T. H. S. should not be passed over too lightly. We owe them a deep vote of thanks. Mr. C. E. Smith is president of the Board and Mr. Ruth is the secretary. Page thirty-seven Generous ain't she? Hold it!

Clarence Lowery and James Lovin arc working together for less work and higher pay. It isn’t likely they will get results. How tragic it is that only Seven Miles I:rom Alcatraz” Roscoe Anthony is an F. B. I. agent in Illinois, trying to solve the mystery of who stole Gracia Lee Cardin’s voice?” Jeanne Anne Shepherd, leader of the WCTU, is leading a worldwide campaign against the evils of liquor. Rosemary Hampton and Betty Lou Strauss, two old maids, arc both trying to capture Robert Hawkins, one of Hollywood’s richest playboys. A most touching scene is the one in which Eugene Parkhill is living in Ireland attempting to raise potatoes for a living. We find that Shirley Hood is running a newspaper all her own, with pink ribbons and ruffled curtains in her office. Paula Heath is known as the belle of the great state of Texas. Flash—Miss Gloria Gwendolyn Garwood is now writing the last page of Garwood’s Great Glossary” to be given to people who call to chat with her.

He lets Jack Floro get off in Spain to try to convince the ladies, there’s nothing like a dependable ice man.” Poor Jack, I knew him well. You’ll never forget the brave hostess on the plane; Dortha Armstrong is her name. She goes out the wrong door to get Earl Arnold a short beer, but she gets the shock of her life when she falls half way down, and remembers that she forgot her parachute.

Noble Kinkade is working in a doughnut hole factory. If he runs out of anything to do he stuffs macaroni. With his ability and Robert Bryant’s brains, they will have a nice size business for the rest of their lives. Betty Bain has turned out to be the lazy bones of Southern Illinois. She is living in a little shack out by the round house, and she either begs, borrows, or steals what she has to cat.

Wilson Giles has asked her to marry him, so if nothing goes wrong, the Eskimos arc going to be wondering For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Taxi, Mister?” Nadine Flatt and Mary Lou Hampton arc on a large bug hunt in Africa, but no luck so far. Frances Hargrove and Alma Rodcnbusch are the chief hep-eats in the picture. They prove themselves true Jitterbugs. Imogene Harris and Charlotte Jarvis arc two good-looking telephone operators. They arc continually saying, Hello, Frisco, Hello.

She must be a Fired Wife.” She’s always saying, Johnny Come Lately?” Ervin McKay is spending all of his time digging fishing worms for F. D. R. Some job he docs, too.

When you see their advertising signs you will have to laugh. Their best one is: When you nail, nail it with a Neal.” Lorcnc Norris has disappeared from her city, and it is believed that she ran off with Charles Smith to get a divorce from Charley Pas-kavan. If they get this divorce, Lorcnc plans to marry Charles Smith, if he will have her. Ruth Ann Rea helps Irene Slctoff de-flea dogs at Dorothy Rone’s dog kennels. Irene says she enjoys it because it gets her mind off a louse she’s mad at. (See the picture and find out who the louse is.) Hazel Wright has gone away to South Carolina to re-fight the Civil War. She thinks the south is still out of hand. Gladys Ruth Taylor is a retired gal now, because she made millions when she took Harry Lee Ward to P. T. Barnum’s circus, and won first prize with her freak. Helen Thomann is teaching school in Georgia. She simply loves it, she says. Della Rose Rybka and John Saunders went to Chicago to see the sights, and Della Rose got caught stealing a pop gun from Marshall Fields store. It stuck John two bits, plus fare from the Cook County jail to the depot. Erma Lou Somers and Mary Pearl Smith heard that Kenneth Summers had a bottle of xxx in his ice box, so they rushed over to investigate. They found Pagt fifty only the bottle left, and Kenneth singing at the top of his voice. His Butler’s Sister” was there at the time, and she said it was all her fault. Erma Lou and Mary Pearl had to settle for a coke. Roberta Whittington and Betty Whitlow got sick on some red soda they bought at Erskinc Webb’s tavern.

Billie Doris Stewart, Eula Stewart and Audrey Stockton arc trying to find out more about The Mystery of the 13th Guest.” Jean Marie Woods thinks she knows, but refuses to give any information about it. Poor Phyllis Minier is still taking vitamin pills. Bill Moore moves to DuQuoin to teach boxing lessons, but he throws his red hat away first. Ida Jeanne Warren and Lyncttc Peek go to Hawaii to learn new tactics.” You will have to giggle when you sec Joan Frailcy still wearing her little pigtails, attracting all the attention. When you see Emma June and Mary Lou Pinkham in the basement fighting over a little bottle of Moonshine” the name Crazy House” will really seem appropriate. Above Suspicion” shows how cat-like that Dan Malkovich sneaks up on Ruth McKcmic and sticks a pin in her.

Flodine Platt, Edith House, and Joyce Ann Jones arc chorus girls, Gals Inc.” All that money can buy” describes that great man of money, Thomas L.

T. H. S., swapping Scarabs” and calling, Have you signed my 'Scarab’ yet?” Later they congregated in the newspaper-decorated gym to listen to the music of a juke box dance, and behold the six Powers Girls” presented by Max Marshall in lieu of a Scarab” king and queen. JUNIOR-SENIOR RECEPTION The Seniors of ’44 paid their respects to the departing class of ’43 with a reception. The scene was a nitc club of the roof garden type. Blue sky above and black skyline below. About the middle of the evening the floor show appeared. Denysia and Paul Bastas gave a selection of dances and six Junior girls sang a serenade to the seniors. The rest of the evening was spent dancing to the music of Jack Staulcup. ECHO PROM Daisy Mac came to the fore again January 29, as the traditional Sadie Hawkins Day Man-Catchin’ Contest came to an end with the girls slightly in the lead. The Old Reliable, the gym, was rigged out in Dogpatch Style and Hairless Joe served Kickapoo Joy Juice and Preserved Turnips, while the merrymakers frolicked to the music of the masters.” HI-Y DINNER DANCE The annual get-together of B. T. H. S. Hi-Yers and alumni and their dates was held on February 11 at the country club with the usual delicious chicken dinner being served by Mrs. Myers. Toastmaster of the evening was Mr. Gene Armentrout. The Sophomores of B. T. H. S. serenaded the rest of the company with two beautiful renditions. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing to the music of Tommy Dorsey, Woody Herman, Harry James, Jimmy Dorsey, and the rest.

DRAMATICS CLUB Officers President Frances Chaplain Vice-President Gladys Ruth Tayi.or Secretary. .............. Joan Frailly Treasurer Frances Hargroves Head Technician .......... Dick Hill The Dramatics Club is the largest voluntary organization in B. T. H. S., meeting once a month to discuss its business activities. At the first meeting, a one-act comedy was given and in a later meeting stage make-up was demonstrated. Subsequent meetings have brought other theatrical subjects to the limelight. The club is supervised by Miss Mary Heinzman. FRANCES CHAPLAIN President Page eighty-five “STAGE DOOR” ☆ ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ “Ever Since Eve” The Seniors of ’45, directed by Miss Heinzman, presented Ever Since Eve” on December 16, 1943, in the B. T. H. S. gymnasium. Johnny Clover” Lewis, as editor of the P. H. S. Penguin, and Spud Erwin (Jim Allen), his assistant, sec no need of women on their staff. But faculty advisor, Martha Willard (Dorothy Garner), says a woman’s view is just what the paper needs. Between Susan Blake (Phyllis Daniels) and Betsy Erwin (Jean Ellen Armentrout) the Penguin and Johnny Clover arc in the soup.” A tasty little dish of magnolias, southern charm, and verse, under the name of Lucybellc Lee (Mary Lou 1‘loro) doesn’t help poor Johnny and Spud either. They, together with the rest of the cast, proceed to entrench Johnny even more deeply in trouble for three riotous acts. The affair of the red-flannels and the case of measles are only samples of the trouble Johnny and Spud have. In true Johnny Clover fashion, though he is extricated in time for the final curtain, his affairs arc settled to his satisfaction for a time at least. The remainder of the cast includes Donald Classman as Mr. Clover; Sally Havens as Mrs. Clover; Robert Mayer as Henry Quinn, the high school principal; Jack Nolen as Cappy, the policeman on the high school beat; and Bill Walker as Preston Hughes, the captain of the football team; Kenneth Burkett and Dick Hart were football boys.

Instead of concentrating on one particular type of music, Mr. Rausch has presented a varied assortment with the result that you arc likely to hear a classical song, a popular tune, or a stirring march when you enter the portals of the new gym during sixth hour. During the other five hours of the school day, Mr. Rausch gives music lessons to Freshmen and Sophomores. The band is a democratic organization, being run by a president, Bob Davison, and two assistants, Denysia Bastas and Jim O’Hara. Something new has been added this year. Every band member is en- titled to get a band sweater, which is maroon with a big ”B” and a lyre on it. The band has done a marvelous job of playing at every football and basketball game held at home this year. At the conference games they were always in full uniform.
