Several volunteers, including a clothing buyer and a stockbroker, expose their tummies while others decline saying they are too busy or embarrassed.

Memories of a one room schoolhouse reunion in Bennet
A 1910 1911 class reunion at Mrs. Dora Hornby’s Lincoln home revived memories of the east Bennet one room schoolhouse district 79. Teacher Mrs. Bessie Jensen recalls duties from starting the fire to water from a shared bucket and a life before modern restrooms. The gathering recalls spelling bees, box and pie suppers, and the era’s discipline, with a later note on the Starkweather and Fugate killings that preceded the school’s destruction.
