The 1967-68 Scarab staff has tried to recapture these moments of 'hap- piness’’ that have occurred during the 1967-68 school year. These mo- ments have often been clouded with frustration and defeat, but these are all part of our high school years. There is something to be gained from everything, even from our failures. Being the editor of the 1968 Scarab has been a most rewarding experi- ence. | have had superb co-operation from four untiring assistant editors, a capable advisor and a diligent staff. A special thanks is extended to Mr. Paul Hickman, who generously gave his time taking special pictures, and to Mr. Gary Messersmith, who so skillfully created the artistic effects of this book. | would also like to thank Mr. William Blewett, representative of Taylor Publishing Company, for his technical advice and service. | The Scarab staff has worked hard to make this edition of the Scarab a bit unique and modern, yet filled with the memorable traditions of :Ben- ‘ ton Consolidated High School. Karen Munoz, editor-i a Dedication The Scarab staff of 1968, dedicates this yearbook not to one individual, but to a multitude of glowing young adults known as the new generation; a vibrant group whose ideals reach to ward peace, freedom, understand- ing, love, and a constant search for truth. Art and nature afford new avenues of expression. Our generation hopes to face the present and future with open minds and new ideas, so we can deal with the problems that confront our rapidly changing world. We need the energies and talents of everyone to meet the challenges of this changing world. We need the best of many—not of just a few. We must strive for excellence. irselves to the never-ending task of mastering the im- ur heart will re ice in the words, ''We can and we will’.

Soon our time will come when we will be the ones to hold key roles in our nation. Our era, however, will not quickly be forgotten, for behind us we shall leave new trends and sym- bols of our generation. Miniskirts, long hair, sandals, higher goals and a better scope for learning will be but a few of our trademarks. We Seek A New Knowledge The world is constantly changing. Everyday new facts and ideas are born. Therefore, we seek knowledge not only through books, but also in our everyday experiences and the people around us. 10 (eae, a 12 We Seek New Friendships! As all of us grow older, we will remember all the friends we have made during our years at B.C.H.S. The fun, the hardships, the disappointments, and the surprises will never be forgotten. 13 We See Beauty In New Forms Beauty is not only present in nature. We are also able to see it in lines, colors, forms, tones, or an ordinary poetic read- ing. We See All This Newness, We Are A Part Of It, And It Of Us. Each successive day brings new friends, experiences, knowledge and relationships. We shall live each day in its entirety and look forward to tomorroy Table Of Contents Activities And Achievements......... Organizations ane PME MIGEVCS,...... ae Commune ..-....-.. The Board Of Education The Board of Education is an organization ca ae of talented men who have been specially selected because of their knowledge, abil- ity, and understanding of their community and its problems. They come from all walks of life and professions and thus their ideas are representative of the needs of Benton's students and of their education. This year the Board of Education started out with a bang by putting into motion some of the ideas recommended by the North Central Association in the survey they made last spring. As a result of this survey, a buildings trade class was added to the regular curriculum of B.C.H.S. to create an area where untapped talent could be discovered and nurtured as a possible future trade for many young men. Not only was this idea put into action, but the board has put many other valuable ideas into ac tion for the betterment of B.C.H.S. and will continue to do so BOARD OF —Virgi i , nae ES ee ame Virgil Bolen, Wm.

Miss Armentrout ponders over the answer to a question. Foreign language is an important part of a well-rounded education. From these studies we not only learn a new lanquage, but also learn to interpret our own. Through the two languages offered at BCHS, we prepare ourselves to meet the world of communications. Even graduates return for help. VERBAL ADKISSON Health B.S., S.1.U B.C.H.S. is one of the few schools in the nation having a full time health program.

It would be rare if a person could go through a day, without in some way using math. B.C.H.S. has made many advancements in the past few years. Ad- vanced classes for the student who has shown exceptional ability, as well as catch-up classes for the slower student have been established.

This is a typi- cal question heard through the corridors of B.C.H.S. Since all juniors and seniors are required to take American History and Problems, history is a very important course for Benton students. Other areas of history offered are World Geography, World History, and Illinois History. JANE KIRSCH Social Studies B.S., U. of Mo. M.A., U. of I.

B.C.H.S. agriculture classes are very important to the community. Since Benton is located in the center of a prosperous agricultur- al belt, the skills learned in these classes are not only vital to be a farmer, but are also important to the growth of Southern Illinois. Benton Ag boys are competent- ly guided by Mr. B. L. Finley. 39 ARNOLD NADLER Building Trades B.S., SIU M.S., SIU Building Trades September 1967 began a new adventure for students who are interested in building trades.

Class Of 1968 As our Senior year comes to a climax, we have many happy memories to cherish the rest of our lives. We remember our ‘shaky’ knees when we entered B.C.H.S. as freshmen, and the seniors who gave us a rough road to trod. We remember our first Turkey Day game, and the excitement of our first Homecoming dance. We will never forget our “great' basketball teams from the past three years which have won three successive South Seven Crowns, We worked very hard to raise money for the Junior-Senior Prom, which we gave for the seniors in ‘67. During our sophomore year, we worked in the concession stand at football and basketball games. Our chocolate sale was a big success during our junior year. Our junior play—''Father Knows Best'' drew a large audience. The Sadie Hawkins dance given this year was the scene of the crowning of Daisy Mae and Little Abner. This year we broke the tradition of having a comedy, and presented the dramatic play—''Our Town. Before we realized it, our four years at B.C.H.S. had come to an end. Many seniors had achieved the goals they had hoped to obtain. As the Class of '68 fades into the past, we wish to extend a sincere thanks to all of our teachers, counselors, coaches, and Mr. Genisio for all the adult advice and help they have given us. We leave high school with a tear in our heasts, but we look forward to the expanding future ahead of us. We will never be able to forget our four fun-filled years at B.C.H.S., and will always hold these mem- ories close to our hearts. Seniors anxiously awaited Graduation Day.

We have met with chemistry, ad- vanced math, American literature, American history, and many of us have excelled in these and other special fields. Our class is proud to have achieved excellence in music, athletics, drama, and journalism. — ss ip I Class rings were selected in September. | - j Pe : r in Octobe r came tne serious business OT rinest © selling the World’: nocolate.’ Our Homecoming float, he Redbirds, heloed spur the Rangers to victory at the ‘Bury game.

Class Of 1970 The Sophomore class started this year with only a minimum number of people forgetting their locker combinations, but it didn't take long for the class to start to function normal- ly. ae Sophomore class, as usual, handled the concession stand and quite a few of them will have hectic memories of cokes spilled, popped corn all over the place, and sticky change. The student council got busy on ways for the sophomores to make some money. So it was candles, zip code directo- , ety pened ries, and polywogs—na e generic type, candy. From selling these made a profit the first tin he history of the Sadie Hawkins Dance the Sophomore can- didates, John Moore and Sharon Wilkerson, had the honor of being Daisy Mae and Lit- tle Abner. The Sophomores enjoyed this year to its fullest and are looking ahead to two more great years at the greatest of alma maters— Bi@irlS: Sharon Wilkerson and John Moora wer e chosen Daisy Mae and Lil Abner at the Sadie Hawkins dance.

Traveling to Sparta to open their campaign, the young Rangers suffered a 17-12 defeat in a very tight game which could have ended either way. , ; Benton opened its home season with a resounding 38-0 tromp of visiting Metropolis. The Trojans never were in the game, as the tough Ranger defense held them intact throughout the contest. Marion tagged a heart-breaking 7-6 loss on the Ranger record the next week. After being held scoreless throughout most of the contest, the visiting Wildcats just couldn't be denied the one point margin. DuQuoin handed the Rangers their third loss of the season the following week. The visiting Indians slapped a 19-0 whitewash on Benton. Showing great balance Benton defeated hosting Herrin 21-14 on their fifth outing of the campaign. Then the major injuries hit. Benton lost another heart-breaker to Centralia's Orphans on their home stomping-grounds. The final score was 19-13. Powerful Mt. Vernon handed the struggling Rangers a 28-0 defeat on Tabor Field. Again injuries played a key role in the loss. Journeying to Carbondale, Benton suffered its third straight defeat at the hands of the Terriers, 31-0. Playing was very difficult on the rain soaked field. Following in the footsteps of the other losses this season, Benton dropped another close onto Harris- burg, 20-19. After leading most of the way, Benton was finally forced to relinquish the lead in the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. Playing Johnston City for the first time on the open date before Homecoming, Benton got back on the winning track, handing the hosting Indians a 13-9 defeat. In the 1967 Homecoming Game, Benton amassed a total of six touchdowns to defeat host ng V fest Frank- fort 42-7 before a capacity crowd.

In their season opener, the Rangers lost to always tough Centralia 19-13 on the Orphan's home field. Carbondale administered a loss to the Benton crew, 34-25 in a high scoring game at Carbondale. The Rangers fought to a 26-26 tie with Marion on Tabor Field to establish themselves as giant killers in loop action. The young Bentonites gave themselves that reputation beyond a shadow of a doubt by defeating Mt. Vernon's Rams 27-19 at Mt. Vernon. In their following outing Herrin managed a tie out of tough Benton 7-7 on Tabor Field. Visiting West Frankfort ended the Rangers upset string by handing Benton a 26-13 defeat. In their season's closing game, the freshmen defeated hosting Harrisburg 12-0 to bring their record to 2-3-2. er ke Ranger Sophomores kind Season With 3-6-1 Record Row I: L. Summary, K. Cluck, D.

Marion administered the first loss of the season to Benton by drubbing the Rangers 19-7 at Marion. Hosting DuQuoin handed Benton its second loss in a 12-0 whitewashing.

Pe Christopher 25 Bata From rags to riches was the tune of the 1967-68 Ranger basketball season as Benton came from one of the least heralded teams in the South Seven Conference to one of the most feared powers in Southern Illinois. Although not winning the state crown, Benton captured just about everything else to turn in a very impressive 23-6 record. The Rangers took the consolation championship of the 25th annual Centralia Holiday Tournament, the Quad-City Champion- ship for the third straight year, shal the South Seven Championship for the third year, this time sharing it with Mt. Vernon. Things didn't look so well at the beginning, though, as Benton dropped two of its first three games, but from there on in, it proved to be days of victory after victory. To begin with, the Johnson City Indians ended Benton's fifty game regular season winning streak in a very exciting contest at Johnston City. The Rangers led most of the way before giving in, in the final eight minutes of play. Keeping up with the tradition of never losing on your home court, Benton handed the visiting Meridian Bobcats a ten point defeat marking, Meridian’s first defeat in four outings. Behind the effort of all-stater Alan Crews, the DuQuoin Indians slapped Benton in the face with a heart-breaking three point loss on the Indians’ home court. In the only over-time contest of the se ason, the Rangers swept a tremendous victory from the Marion Wildcats. This proved to be the push Benton needed in getting started on their usual winning ways. While Santa was preparing to leave for his all important ride, the Rangers began warming up with a romp over the visiting Herrin Tigers. At the Christ- mas break, Benton stood 2-0 in conference action and 3-2 overall. With a starting time of 9:00 A.M. already against them, cold shooting and questionable fouls added up to Benton's only loss in their last 2! outings in Centralia Tour- Fy lee ‘ Pt a) x mpett Ihe tour point defeat came at the hand of Edwardsville, who Take : p| he tourney. But one loss wasn't going their next three opponents enroute to Je ampionship. After ¢ t-lived- victory celebration, Benton stepped back into conference play with a come 1 behind win over the pesky Carbondale Terriers. The Terriers’ Les Taylor, who later went on to capture the conference scoring title, astounded the loyal Ranger fans, as he turned into a one man scoring machine. The Harrisburg Bulldogs proved to be no match for the well-oiled Benton scoring machine, as they lost to the Rangers at Benton. For the second time this year, the Rangers defeated the Centralia Orphans; both wins by identical |2-point margins. Then it happened. Upsetting all the odds-makers, as well as area basketball fans, the visiting West Frankfort Red- birds handed Benton its first conference loss in 33 games. The four point defeat was marked with numerous fouls and turnovers which resulted in two Benton players and one Frankfort player fouling out. Then it was the Rangers’ turn. The following night Benton traveled to Mt. Vernon and gave the Rams a 14-point defeat to throw the race for conference championship in confusion. With that winning fever still in their blood, Benton breezed to their third consecutive Quad City Championship at Carmi. Benton began warming up for its second meeting with West Benlack by easily disposing of Marion. With everyone getting into the act, the Rangers were a shoe-in for the Frankfort game. But it just wasn't so, as the Redbirds became the giant killers by defeating Benton the second time during the season; this time by a stunning 13-point margin. Probably affecting them mentally the Rangers stumbled through their next three games against Herrin, Harrisburg, and Centralia by wins of 9, 8, and 14 points respectively. Realizing that if they wanted a share in the con- ference banner, they would have to buckle down, the Rangers did just that. Carbondale, having won their last six games, fell first to Benton by 14 points. The following night, the Rangers presented Mt. Vernon their second conference loss, both by Benton, and knotting the race for good. The two point margin doesn't show exactly how one sided the game really was. Benton closed out its regular season with a real barn-stormer against McLeansboro. Enroute to a fairly easy game, the Rangers suddenly found themselves only two points ahead late in the third stanza, but some last quarter heroics pulled it out of the fire. Now its tournament time. The second season begins. In the West Frankfort Regional, it was all Benton. The Rangers breezed by Christopher, Bluford, and DuQuoin by at least 20 points every game. Sectional play got a lot harder, in fact, too hard. Again the old adage, You can't beat a good team three times'' showed up, as Benton fell to Mt. Vernon by a two point deficit. The Rangers’ dream of a state tournament trip had again been shattered. The season was over; yet it had been a good rich season full of excitement and thrills. The Benton Rangers are one reason why everyone in Benton is proud to say— Welcome to Benton—Home of the Rangers!”’ Rangers Capture oo Danny Johnson gets iwo points closer to establishing his individual scoring record of 744 points. Safety in practice sessions was also important. Dick Corn proves that he is not only a “ball-handler.
