SCARAB 1967 BENTON CONSOLIDA TED HIGH SCHOOL Benton, Illinois Vol XLVII 3 Foreword We have tried to make the Scarab as good as possible on this, its fiftieth anniversary. Through the use of pictures and words, the 1967 Scarab staff has worked to preserve the memory of a year at Benton Consolidated High School for die readers who will look hack in the future in an effort to relive their high school years. We have tried to collar all aspects of the year, the transfer of knowledge, die teaching of democratic ideals, die moments of fun, the times of disappointment, and the periods of achievement diat group together to form a typical school year. As editor of diis yearbook, I have, with the aid of three capable assistant editors and a responsible advisor, gained much in ironing out the problems of the year’s Scarab. I would like to diank Mr. William Blewett who gave us superb service as the Taylor Publishing Company’s representative. I would also like to express our gratitude to Paul Hickman who devoted much of his time in taking special pictures. My one wish is that when you read this book, it will bring back warm and pleasant memories of a happy school year. 2 Harlie Smith, Jr., editor-in-chief J 7 to ' 3k _ w jr Fifty years ago the Renton High School published the first yearbook |£ A - . « called the “Scarab.” a I I m MSm ■ a The NOWEB (Beni on spelled backwards) was the first yearbook to he published by Benton High School and wras printed in 1915. There IraftS g k AHHa MS Jm was no yearbook published in 1916, but in 1917 a yearbook was again printed. There was a dispute among the students as to whether they should continue using the name “NOTNEB” or decide on a new name for the yearbook. The students decided that the name should he meaningful, so they agreed on the name. “SCARAB.” The scarab is a beetle which was JHr j , r I kj sacred to the ancient Egyptians. To them it symbolized the resurrection I f gt a I and immortality, and it was a token oi good luck. This name was appropri- ate for the yearbook of Benton High School because Southern Illinois is WM V| ■ ■ I ■ ■ known as “Little Egypt” The Scarab is like a scavenger beetle in that it ■ri gathers bits of information of enjoyable and exciting events of the school W year to be looked back on and relived by the students of Benton High School.

These years have been marked by dedication in the field of speech and drama where his primary concern has always been the individual student rather than personal reward. He has shaped the lives of countless young people by preparing them for the challenge of a modem world with the tools of effective speech and the ability of self-expression—precious talents in today’s shrinking world. Newly-formed skill in public speaking has enabled his students to find greater poise and confidence in endeavors in other fields, and thus broader successes than before contact with Mr. Miller. His coaching, and sometimes his coaxing, in school drama productions has raised the level of excellence in school plays at Benton Consolidated High School. Several graduates have gone on to success in college drama and collegiate debate. His concern, his understanding, and, above all, his ability to make his students want to achieve for him have sent many toward broader horizons. These students look back in appreciation to Mr. John Miller, who sent them along the path of achievement. It is with great pride and obvious reason that the 1967 Scarab is 6 dedicated to Mr. John Miller. Mr. John R Fan With Friends Was Soap, sonp, lots of soap!

The gym was hub of excitement as they created the atmosphere of winter beauty. Trees were sprayed with snow. A snowman and his wife were formed to skate on a “lake” in the middle of the floor. The stage, the scene of the coronation, was a snowy wonderland with a bright moon draped in wispy clouds overhead. First of all the sign for “A Winter Night's Dream was hung; Harlic Smith and Steve Norman attended to this problem. Betty Thompson, Bccca Edwards, Evelyn Jankousky, and Joann Stewart sewed yards of cotton to the rail to make a “snow) background. The beautifully balanced stage was the result of much faculty help.

Seniors Greg Payne, Vicki Smith, and Kathy McAffos discussed how these “clouds should look. A Mr. Specs looks all alone hero, doesn’t he? He was really giving us a pep talk the night of the bonfire. Senior hoys and their dates might have been a hit nostalgic at their last Homecoming Bonfire. There's something about a bonfire and a pep session that attracts a crowd. Homecoming spirit began to mount on Tuesday night at the roaring bonfire rally at Linda Smith’s farm. Students and alumni were there. Huge trees blazed away as we students sat on bales of bay and cheered the Rangers and responded to the pep talks by faculty and students.

This evaluation will help the board in making decisions concerning the school in the future. The board also added an Arts and Crafts class to the high school curriculum under joint sponsorship with the federal government. The scope of education is broadly expanding and the board is keeping abreast with all the latest changes in an effort to keep the educational aspects of our school at a high level. 34 Mr. frank Payne, Benton School Board president, points out an important fact to Mr. Ccnisio during a discussion.

He has set high standards for our school so that we students can receive the best education possible. We have found that Mr. Genesio appreciates us and believes that fun should be included with our work. There’s always much paper work, Mr. Gcnisio finds, as reports to many agencies must be completed. B.C.H.S. Administration Works Closely With Students, For Effective Education. The office is the center of school business. Mr. Genisio and Mr. Rhodes and the staff attend to the heavy traffic of students, teachers and the public and keep school matters moving smoothly. This year they are occupied by an extra task— the completion of a complete study of our school by both S.I.U. and the North Central Association. This study will lead to a greater job, perhaps, when the suggestions recommended by the study will be utilized to make changes in the school so that it might be more effective. 37 Mr. Genesio is often seen on the grounds and in the halls as he takes time to tulk to the students.

Because business in the U.S. is growing by leaps and bounds, courses in typing, shorthand, and clerical office practice are becoming more and more important in the world today. Many girls each year choose to enter a secretarial career, and they must be taught to be adept in taking dictation, typing business letters, and keeping records. Learning to operate business machines is also an important training to future secretaries since machines are very numerous in business offices today. Mrs. Truclove dictates shorthand to a class of senior girls. 38 Karen Johnston and Barbara Cocsmann discuss a typing problem in secretarial practice. Gulley is busy in his student files aH day in his guid-work. Guidance Our .school seeks to improve each year the student service in guidance.

Vocational classes are a valuable part of our school’s curriculum. Many of our students live in the surrounding rural areas and plan to become farmers. A large number of them are enrolled in ag classes during all of their four high school years and are, upon graduation, ready to begin a farm life or perhaps go on to further education. Drafting students and shop students try their hand in these fields and can often make a decision as to whether these lines would be satisfying as an occupation. 51 Welding is one of the skills of farm maintenance that Ag students learn.

Getting the Scarab ready for publication has become a year-round job at our school. New staffs begin planning next year’s annual as soon as positions arc announced in the spring. Summer planning sessions begin the frame work of the book. Ad solicitors begin their task of selling ads in August so dial the budget can be set up and the size of the book and the “extras” may be decided upon. Deadlines follow deadlines as the editor and assistant editors work during fifth hour each day and after school as needed to prepare pages for the printers. Photographers are on the job constantly as they attempt to record life as it is at B.C.H.S. Feature writers turn in copy; layouts are made, and suddenly it’s March 1, and the Scarab is complete. There’s a new staff to help with the summer supplement and then to go on to their job to make their annual the best of all. Photographer Chester Razcr, sports editor ed. Greg Payne, and photographer Joe Bortoletto supplied a most necessary part of the book. Feature writers Evelyn Jankousky, Christy Sadler, liana Neal, Janet Frailcy, Becky McCollum, Kathy Hamilton used their writing skills to make the written parts of the Scarab effective records of the year.

Reporters find that through the responsibiity of writing news items regularly their writing skills become more refined, and those English themes are not as difficult to write as they were. This year’s paper has been one that the staff could be proud of as the lively co-editors and writers have added pages, more pictures, and much more interesting variety to its columns.

Students of B.C.H.S. take part in and share the responsibility in school government by electing a student council of students. The student council supports school activities and works for the welfare of the school. The council arranges for the election of class officers. They announce the lime of elections, print the ballots, place the voting booths, handle the election, count the votes, and announce the new officers. They are also in charge of Homecoming decorations and in charge of ticket sales. This year one of the main problems discussed by the Student Council was whether or not the method of selecting Homecoming queen should be changed. For many years, the queen has been selected by a secret vote of football players; some students think that the queen should be selected by all members of the student body. Student Council officers are Steve Norman, pres.; Belly BJondi, sec.; Miss Kirsch, Sherry Odum, treas.; and Dick Corn, v.-pres. 64 First Row: Debby Treadwell, Sandy German, Conita Markel, Bcckie Kimmel, Linda Smith, and Brenda Walker.

Ranger Success The 1966 Benton Bangers under the tutelage of coaches Bandy Dudley ami Moose Phillips completed a season marked with joy and frustration. The Bangers got off to a flying start by defeating Sparta, Metropolis, and Marion before dropping a thrilling game to the Indians of Du-Quoin. After dropping their first game in four contests, the Bangers dumped a spirited team from Herrin 20-6. Then came a crucial blow to the Bangers as they lost their next three conference games before bouncing back to defeat Harrisburg on Veterans Day. The Bangers were then defeated by Frankfort in the annual Turkey Day Classic, thus ending their season with a 5-5 record. Defense was the key to the Banger team of ’66, and defensive players Jimmy Bcnns and Warren Bice were honored by being selected to the All-South-Seven Conference Team. Jerry Hoover also was heralded along with John Dinkins, Roy Parker, Steve Norman, and Rich Shaw. Perhaps other squads will be remembered for their winning records, conference titles or other honors, but the 1966 Benton Rangers will be remembered for the fighting spirit they displayed every time they look the field. Win or lose the '66 Rangers were oustanding for their sportsmanship and tremendous will to win. Mike Dorris, Dennis Miller, David Holman, Bill Martin.

Illinois’ top-ranked basketball team, the Benton Hangers, opened tournament play at the Frankfort Regional by downing the out-monned Christopher Bearcats in a game lliol was never in doubt. The 109-32 victory tied the scoring mark the high-flying Hangers set in the Ccntralia Tournament win over Highland. In the semi-final’s 31-point margin, again the Ranger’s second squad saw most of the action. The Championship game pitted the South Seven Champions against DuQuion which the Hangers had handled easily only a week before in the season finale. Before a packed gymnasium, Benton grabbed an early lead and Coach Herrin’s fabulous five won their twenty-eighth victory without a loss along with the coveted Regional lonrnamcnt title. Richard Yunkus tries his sure hand as Danny Johnson gets in position for the rebound in the championship game of the Regional Tournament at West Frankfort. The starting five of the number-one ranked team in the state watch the action in the last moments of an easy regional contest. 108 Superintendent of Public Instruction Ray Page had the honor of presenting the Rangers their second successive Sectional trophy. Tall Greg Fustin waits for a rebound in the tight Ridgeway game. Sectional Title Secures Rangers A Sweet Sixteen Tournament Berth Rated the Number 1 team for the tenth straight week and for the second year in a row, the Benton Rangers were an overwhelming choice to breeze through the Eldorado Sectional, but unexpcctably ran into trouble from the very start. The Rangers first met the upset-minded Ml. Carmel Aces and had difficulty throughout the game before emerging as 9 point victors. The Aces led by as much as 12 points and enjoyed a comfortable lead at the half time break. During the half and the first part of the third stanza, the Mt. Carmel cheering section started chanting, We’re Number 1,” and this seemed to be a stimulus for the trailing Rangers. Benton began working the ball in better and shooting at a more respectable rate, thus giving the Rangers a lead at the end of the third quarter which they never lost. Victory number 30 was also difficult for the Rangers to obtain. The Sectional Championship dual pitted Benton against the Eagles of Ridgeway. In a game similar to the first contest the Rangers played in the sectional. The Benton quintet found themselves behind by as much as 10 points in the first half, but the third quarter again was the charm as the top-ranked Rangers took the lead and maintained it throughout the game, winning by an 8-point margin. The victorious Benton Rangers were presented the Championship trophy by Superintendent of Public Instruction, Ray Page. Rich Yunkus fights for a rebound on the way down. Benton’s awesome hcighlh advantage proved to be an important factor in many tournament games. A loose ball caught Dick Com by surprise in the Ridgeway game.

Most people agreed Benton, who had defeated the Terriers twice in regular season play to win the South Seven Championship. was the favorite, hut everyone was also quick to agree that it would he difficult for the Rangers to defeat the physically stronger Terriers a third time. The enthusiasm was at a peak even before the Arena doors opened as cheers of “Let’s heat the Rangers” and “Let's beat the Terriers” prevailed. The game began with the Rangers grabbing a lead which they kept the entire first half. The third quarter opened with Benton having a slim one point lead hut at the end Crafty John Burlison fakes Perkins out on his way up for a basket. Terrier Mad-Dog Defense Shatters Rangers ’ State Title Dreams. of the third quarter, Benton had widened the margin to 5 points. Most Ranger fans felt the awaited return trip to Champaign was becoming a reality, but the Terriers didn't give up. The fourth quarter saw Car-bondale cut the Ranger lead from 5 to 3, then, to 1, and finally take the lead by a basket by Peaches Las-ter. But the Rangers battled back to go on lop for the last time in the contest by one point. The Terriers were then able to connect on key free throws and the 10,000 fans jammed into the Arena saw Carbondalc upset Benton 59-53, handing the Rangers their first loss of the campaign. Even though Benton was eliminated before reaching the finals at Champaign, the Rangers record of 30-1 was unequaled, and for the second consecutive year, Benton’s Rangers were the winningest team in Illinois. Jerry Iloovcr goes up for two big points in the tense super-sectional game at the S.I.U. Arena. 110 March Madness hit the cheerleader . Although they had yelled for a winner oil season, they ere still excited as tournaments •eason began. Planning on going to Champaign, they, along with the rest of the Ranger personnel, accepted Benton s untimely defeat graciously. This defeat was their one disappointment in an otherwise perfect season. March Madness hit the competing teams. Win or lose, they all hoped someone from Southern Illinois would go all the way.

Senior Class of 1967 As our senior year comes to a close, we look back on our four happy years at BCHS with many fond memories. We remember our first frightening week as freshmen, and the seniors who tried to sell us elevator tickets . We remember our first Homecoming dance, the Turkey Day games, won and lost, and the year our basketball team won the South Seven Conference for the first time and went on to have 31-1 record, the best in the stale that ear. We made many new friends who are now old friends. Our junior year found our class defying tradition and being the first in many years to order round rings. We labored to raise money for the Reception which we gave for the seniors in ’66. One of our first projects was working in the concession stand at football and basketball games during our sophomore year. We raised more money fo the Junior-Senior Reception through “A Summer Place,'' the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance, and the sale of the World's Finest Chocolate, and the junior pluy—“Almost Summer. Wet clothes and damp faces, lots of fun, and more money resulted from the car wash wc held. Before wc knew it, our last year at BCHS was here. Many students in our class had proven themselves scholastically, as well as in music, sports and club work. As wc depart, our class of '67 wishes to thank all our teachers, counselors, coaches, and Mr. Cenisio for all the help and guidance they have given us. We leave high school with some sadness, but much anticipation as wc move to our future in the fast-moving adult world of today. Whether or not our dreams come true, wc will always look back on these four happy ycurs at BCHS and cherish the memories wc hold. Bob Lewis can't believe his car . Steve joke.

Juniors Receive Class Rings. We Juniors feel we learned many of the in’s and oul’s of high school life, as we experienced our first year as upperclassmen and accepted greater roles in class activity and extra-curricular activity. This year was crowded with many activities. Our ring committee picked our class rings in October. In October we tried our talents as salesmen, selling many cases of the World’s Finest Chocolate.” Each junior sold candy to make this project a big success. At Homecoming the juniors were represented in the parade with a float entitled “Let's Turnip a Victory!” Wc did our part in the preparation and participation of the Homecoming events. The year was busy with classes in chemistry, more math, American literature, first classes in American history, and specialties in many directions. Our athletes moved up to varsity positions, and promising thespians did justice to the class play. This year was exciting and memorable, but next year will be the climax of our high school careers! 136 Cheryl Browning, Cheryl Whittington, and Vicki Adkins enjoy the cool air of an early spring noon-hour.

Sophomores Find Their Place. This year the class of 69 became an active and integral part of Benton High. Sophomores spent much of their tune crawling on their hands and knees hunting bugs and climbing trees collecting leaves for biology. At Christmas time, tunics and togas were the thing to wear to the Saturnalia for Latin students. Many studious sophomores discovered the wonderful world of geometry; we will never forget those proofs and con-greunt triangles. One of our money-making projects which proved very profitable was selling light bulbs. We added further to our treasury by working in the concession stand at all the Ranger football and basketball games as we kept the fans supplied with refreshments. It was an endless job, filling the popcorn machine and carrying cases of cokes, but we enjoyed our new responsibilities. What’s ahead? Next year looks interesting from here. 146 The sophomore boys talk over a serious problem. Marlin Adams John I).

Our class has enjoyed this year as freshmen. We recall it with a smile—walking into wrong classes, dropping books, forgetting locker combinations. racing to beat the tardy bell at noon. New friends among students and teachers have broadened our horizons. We have become a part of the tradition of our school, and school has become an integral part of our lives.
