Dr. and Mrs. Benchoff DR. BENCHOFF has been Headmaster of Massanutten Academy for 31 years. From the day when Massanutten was composed of a single building Cnow Dr. Benchoff's homej, until the present, the grandest year in Massanutten's history, Dr. Benchoff has labored, dreamed and perfected. Slowly yet steadily under his guiding hands the school has grown, new buildings have been erected, the campus enlarged and beautifled. Massanutten is indeed proud of its Headmaster, and-we like to think-our Headmaster is proud of us. Dr. Benchofl was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. After graduating from high school, he entered Franklin and Marshall College, receiving his AB. in 1898. He taught for five years, and then took graduate work at Columbia University, where he received his Masf ter's degree in 1904. ln 1905 he became Headmaster of Massanutten. The inspiration of a former teacher, Dr.Willian1 Mann Irvine, Headmaster of Mercersburg Academy, led him to undertake the building of the school to which he has dedicated his life during these years. Besides his untiring work at school, Dr. Benchoff has always been active in the civic affairs of both town and state. He organized and has twice been president of the Wood- stock Rotary Club, was president of the Shenandoah National Park Association, and directed the campaign which raised the first million dollars for its development. ln 1920 Dr. Benchoff married Miss Florence Conant CWells College, 19140, of Paterf son, New jersey. Mrs. Benchoil's training and disposition have been invaluable to Dr. Benchoff in his work. Because of their kindness and friendliness, Dr. and Mrs. Bencholf have endeared themselves to faculty and students alike. Their great abilities and pleasing personalities cause all who are privileged to know them to respect and admire them. i131 lk THEADJUTANT-1936
