Class Will We, the class of 1950, in sound mind and healthy physique, do make this our last will and testament. Our memories of high school we take with us, to cherish forever and forever. To the faculty, we bestow our regular habits and the excuses we are so good about bringing from home. To the Freshmen and Sophomores, collectively and individually, we convey our power of saying the wrong thing in the right place, or the right thing in the wrong place. Just how this is accomplished we are not able to say. Each one will need to work the matter out for himself or herself. There is no doubt that much benefit will result from the effort. To the Juniors, who will soon become the Seniors, we bestow all the mistakes, blunders, inaccuracies, and lapses committed by us during the last exciting year of our most exciting lives. Mistakes seem to be the natural portion of youth, and by acquir- ing the mistakes of others, which never hurt so much as our own, the recipient may be spared making so many himself. To Mr. Good, the unfailing good will of the entire class, we are certain he will need this in dealing with the Seniors who succeed us. To Miss Sayre, who seems too much wedded to her work as a teacher, we leave the book belonging to the girls of this class How To Win A Husband. Eventually, Heavy , why not now? To Mr. Shesky, we leave all the gewgaws that have collected in our desks. These were used for diversion from study, remember? Have fun Chessy. To Mrs. Paxton, we leave the ability and continuous success in persuading her first and second graders to eat all the balanced meal served in the lunch room. Please don't mind the few extra pounds you have gained in setting the example, Golda. To Mrs. Kruger, we bequeath all worn out sheet music, sour notes, and squeaky instruments. We enjoyed our music periods, Ma . To Miss Smith, we bequeath a snap clothespin to hold her glasses in place. We hope this keeps them from sliding off your nose, Smitty, Wonder why you didn't sug- gest tying them up with six foot shoe lace? Where's Maxine and her pal? To Mrs. Earnhart, we leave the office paddle to keep all her little Joes in line. This will save frequent trips to the office, Bea. To Mr. Johnson, we leave the empty grapefruit bags for the collection of marbles, toys, etc. These will make cool dunce caps too. To our good cooks, Ethel Shaw and Ella Eveland, we leave all the slightly used gum under the table in the lunch room. To Mr. Justice, our janitor, we leave our broken pencils, old tablets, wads of gum, and empty dixie cups. We hope you will find them all before next September, big Fred. To Donna Hampshire is left Maxine's ability to paddle her own canoe. Maxine Johnson has selected someone to paddler hers for her. To Delbert Lindsey, we bequeath George Culp's habit of spending two hours a day on his government lesson, by sitting on the book while he reads a comic magazine. To Elsie Wine, we bequeath June Unger's false teeth. This should help you chew the rag, Ding. lZ

Class Poem Goodbye to high school days, And our good old teachers too. Goodbye to the fun we've had, And good old Benton's rule. We shall always remember Mr. Good, So patient and so kind, Although we sometimes Got a little out of line. But no matter what we did He kept his temper well, And now we all agree He was really swell. And poor Miss Sayre: What we did put her through! But she always came out tops As good teachers usually do. The pranks we pulled on herf Oh, she took them well. And we think that she too Is also pretty swell. And Miss Smith. as gentle as a lamb Was always around somewhere To lend a helping hand. We know we made it tough for her As high school people oftimes will, But being a real teacher Never failed her duty to fulfill. As advisor to our class We thank her from our hearts For being a grand person And giving us a start. And Mr. Sheskey, what shall we say for him? All in one he was our coach. Our teacher, and our friend: And a good sport in everything we did. l-le seemed to understand what it was like To be just a kid. We shall cherish his memory As the years roll slowly by And remember his year in Benton Hi. The Class of 1950. the class of Benton Hi Bids you all farewell. And a sad goodbye. ---Anas Wine--- 14
