Class of ’49 Brings Fame to Ben Davis 12A Class Officers and Sponsor The 12A class officers gather for a final meeting with their sponsor on the last day they attend Ben Davis as reg- ular students. Left to right: Jack Campbell, president; Dixie Craig, vice-president; Mr. Herbert Reese, sponsor; Wanda Bandy, secretary; James Bohlander, treasurer. 12B Class Officers and Sponsor This picture of the 12B offi- cers was taken the same day, January 17, 1949, but an en- tire semester of work still lay ahead of them. Left to right: Jerry Eidson, treasurer; Mr. Bernard DeWitt, sponsor; Ruth Barton, vice-president; Veronica Pacala, secretary; Dick Edwards, president. Furthering the eminent project of putting Ben Davis on the map through scholastic achievements, dramatics, and athletics, the 1949 seniors look back on their four years of high school life during which they have worked toward this goal. The illustrious grad- uates stand proud in their caps and gowns— prouder still holding their diplomas. Now they go into the world with the satisfaction that they have helped to build up the fame of the largest county school in the State of Indiana. Our Corsages Please the Seniors— John Grande and Sons 16
