Every summer Jerry heads to the water to engage in his favorite hobbies of boating and water skiing.

John’s favorite saying is “things are rough all over,” but he tries to override this by having a good time him- self. His peeve is stuck up people. JIM ALLAN If you see Crazy Googenheim walking down the halls of BHS, you might know that it would be Jim Allan. He is a fun-loving, talkative football player, who is a happy addition to the halls at our school. AUDREY LEE ALLEN Aud entered Beacon High as a shy, little girl in the year 1958.

Kristin has been active on the Beacon Echo staff, as an office ace, as a Library Aide and in the Future Secretarial Club. JEANNETTE BAXTER What does a nurse need to be successful? She has to be quiet and patient. Jeanette has both these qualities and will obtain her goal of being a good nurse without a doubt. She has been active in Future Nurses Club and as a nurse assistant. RICHARD BEEBE In addition to his devotion to cars, Dick finds time to play the guitar. He has displayed his athletic ability, having been a member of the track and crosscountry teams. Perhaps this has been a direct result of his two likes: girls and hunting. JOHN JAY BENNETT John is an above average student, and he believes he has gained a certain amount of maturity with his particular form of pun ishment. He is quite easy-going, although considering wrestling, he’s not as he first appears.
