Miss Etna Morrison To You--Our Scarab We are very proud to dedicate the 1959 Scarab to Miss Etna Morrison, mathematics teacher at Ben- ton Consolidated High School. It was our good for- tune when Miss Morrison came to Benton to teach in 1926, Besides teaching algebra, geometry, and trigonom- etry, Miss Morrison has found time to help and en- courage many students outside school hours. Ter room is always open before and after school to stu- dents who need extra help in their schoolwork. She also has been the sponsor of many classes, accom- panies Speech students on trips, and sponsors the national mathematics society, Mu Alpha Theta. Many students of Miss Morrison have had su- perior records in college and in mathematical fields. We hope we will all measure up to your hig standards, Miss Morrison, and we all would like to say “Thank You” for all your help. :

The Voices of BCHS The reason we haye come to high school is to learn. The voices of learning are many and varied: the clicking of typewriters, the blatant notes of the band, the silence of the study hall, and the unfamiliar sounds of foreign languages. Sounds that are familiar to all of us and belong in learning are the sounds of the cafeteria, the clatter of dishes, the tromping of feet down the halls, and the ringing of the lunch bell. ; There many sounds of the different classes, We have many subjects from which to choose our classes. We hear the sputter of chemistry and physics ex- periments, the discussion of history and problems, and the various chirps of birds in the biology class. All these sounds belong in the echo of the halls and will always remain there. You may hear the clicking of typewriters as future secretaries develop their skill.
