FROM THE DESK OF THE

SUPERINTENDENT - BRENT HOLLINGER

Welcome back to school! By the time you are

reading this article, school will be up and going and our

hallways will be full once more! The start of the

school year is such an exciting time! Students….the

school year is only as good as you want it to be so

don’t waste the opportunities that present themselves to

you! Be the best you can be and get involved! Schools

only excel when we have everyone participating in all

activities!

The Board of Education held their monthly meeting

on August 13. I will cover a few items that are worth

noting. The School Wellness Policy was reaffirmed

and a slew of policies were reviewed and approved.

The Board of Education approved a bid from Applied

Connective to add additional security cameras and

security systems for the facility, approved the extended

contract for Ag/FFA, and approved the Superintendent

as the Authorized Agent for State and Federal

Programs. A bid from School Outfitters for library

book shelves and approval to transfer the Class of 2018

account monies to the general fund were also approved.

Final items that were approved were a $67,096.82

transfer to the activities account to cover the 2017-

2018 expenses and a transfer of $100,000 to the

depreciation fund to cover school vehicle purchases

along with mower and technology purchases.

Once again, welcome back to school and

let’s have a great 2018-2019 school year!

Until next time….GO COUGARS!!

State Fair Making Elaborate Plans

Thousands of Nebraskans are planning to attend the

Nebraska State Fair in Lincoln, September 4-9 for

which the most elaborate plans of 7 years have been

made. Coupled with an extensive array of

entertainment, the bounty of Nebraska’s harvest is such

as to make the most impressive agricultural and

livestock exhibit in a long time.

Entertainment will be provided in a string of great

features: The second annual state fair rodeo

championships, with 175 head of livestock untamed

and vicious, cowboys, cowgirls and Indians; an old

balloon ascension by W. E. Winterringer three days

(September 6-8) in front of the grandstand; Beckmann

& Gerety’s carnival on the midway; a horse show filled

with novelties in the coliseum (September 4-6); auto

races on Sunday which is also Veteran’s Day; and on

Friday, a thrilling airplane crash directly in front of the

grandstand by Capt. F. F. Frakes.

everyone back to Benedict.

Without Children

The above caption is the title of the movie feature

which will be shown at the Municipal Movie park in

Benedict next Saturday evening. A card from the

movie operator informs us that it is one of the best and

he further adds, “tell your readers not to miss this one.”

The attendance was very good last Saturday. Rain

threatened during the evening but the benches were

well filled in spite of the clouds and many expressed

themselves as willing to take a good soaking. Only a

light sprinkle was received however.

CLASS REUNION

What started out as a “few” Benedict High School

classes from the 1980’s planning a get-together (since

we only seem to see each other at sad occasions) turned

into invites via Facebook, texts, and postcards being

sent to those that graduated form 1980-1999.

July 28 was the date picked for a little reunion of the

BHS graduates. The home of Brian & Amy Hirschfeld

Pohl was the location. There were 33 BHS graduates

and 22 guests in attendance.

Attending were Class of 1980-Cindy Heiden McLean;

1982-Scott Folts and Ross Walkup; 1984-Clay

Bittinger, Linda Kinzie Koehler, Clark Pickrel, and

Tim Redman; 1985-Jim Heiden; 1986-Skip Blundell,

Rita Gonzales Hemmer, Robert Lee, Tim Rhoades, and

Linnea Walkup Williamsen; 1987-Noel Bailey, Craig

Bolton, Dan Hecox, Missy Kramer, and Ken Rhoades;

1988-Steph Dey Heiden, Tonya Epke Torson, Amy

Hirschfeld Pohl, and Deanna Rucker Bailey;

1989-Todd Hirschfeld, Charlie Huffman, and Susan

Wait; 1990-Angela Hecox Korte and Kim Hirschfeld

Cotton; 1991-Wendy Hirschfeld; 1994-Mark Clayton

and Scott Hecox; 1995-Jason Hirschfeld and Abby

Ratzlaff Pecha; and 1997-Dan Doremus.

Those in attendance enjoyed an afternoon/evening of

reminiscing, laughing, playing yard games, eating

munchies, sitting by the bon fire, and enjoying a pork

August 23, 2018

loin, baked beans, and cheesy potato supper.

The hostesses, Amy Hirschfeld Pohl and Linnea

Walkup Williamsen, set out to just invite a few classes,

but it somehow grew. The dual did their best to reach

out on Facebook and texts to invite classmates, etc. and

then when the list got bigger, they recruited the help of

Dale Moore to get addresses. Since BHS has closed, it

has been extremely hard for Dale to keep addresses

current so when postcards were returned Linnea did as

much research as possible to find a current address.

We know we did not get invites to everyone, and we

apologize, but we really did do our best to find

addresses. If you are a BHS grad from 1980-2002 (or

any year) please contact Linnea Williamsen at either

[email protected] or text 402-366-6881 your

current address information. Please include maiden

name, year graduated, and if you are on Facebook. She

will work with Dale to keep addresses updated the best

we can.

After discussion that night, and a great time was had

by all, it has been decided to do this every two years.

Amy and Linnea look forward to hosting/organizing

the event again and more information will follow. We

are hoping to have more classmates come and join the

fun!! See you in 2020!!

A MEMORY OF THE PAST…..

The following ad was taken from The Benedict

Broadcaster, August 24, 1938 issue.

Old Put If Off Poke is at It Again

Practically everyone plans on some repairing or fixing

up or some painting or decorating. But most of them

keep putting it off. They just never get to it and most

of it is never done. Buildings and fences everywhere

are in need of repair. Barns and sheds need fixing,

doors and windows need fixing, wood is decaying for

want of paint, the missus needs some conveniences in

the home, porch floors need painting and roofs need

reshingling. There’s so many things needed, the old

home looks so bad that a lot of people don’t even like

to invite the neighbors over-they would rather climb in

the old struggle buggy and drive around a bit, look at

the burnt crops and come back home feeling worse

than ever. Then they feel they must cuss somebody or

something so they just indulge in the popular sport of

panning the government and the New Deal.

They haven’t got much money but if they would use

what money they do get to fix the old place up a bit

they’d feel and fare much better. It doesn’t cost so

much to do a little fixing up. Come in and let’s figure

it up for you.
