SENIORS—NAMES AND ACTIVITIES (Continued on Page Eighteen) Fourteen V ce - pxes. We stumbled into the territory of B. T. H. S. and enlisted, thirty-one of us, into the “army of intelligence” in the fall of 1944. Since then we have been striving toward many different goals. Our first really big day was initiation day—then we become Citizens of B. T. H. S. We then chose our leaders: President, Joe Heneberry; Vice- President, Thomas Warren; Secretary-Treasurer, Lynnette Reeter; and Class Sponsor, Mr. Bohlen. We gave tw’o one-act plays before the student body, directed by Miss Doris Meeker. Wheel Sophomores at last! Looking around, though, we discovered that we had lost seven members of our class, decreasing it very much. This year we gained four new members: Wayne Shelton, Bill Scribner, Betty and Clem Goddard. Joe Heneberry continued as president; Bill Glover, was vice-president; and Wayne Shelton, secretary- treasurer; and we had Miss Marguerite Shuck as sponsor. We again gave two one-act plays before the public, directed by Miss Generose Dunn. Imagine! Juniors already! We entered school with a renewed hope that we were half way through high school. As jolly juniors we started out with a bang. We gave a three-act play: “I Know Your Secret” before a large audience; this was directed by Miss Dunn. We made money like mad. We had charge of the concession stand at the games, sold magazines, gave a Variety Show; we gave the Seniors a splendid Prom at the Scoville Country Club, with Ted Dickerson’s Orchestra. Our leaders were: President, Shirley Walton; Vice-President, Lawrence Brown; Secretary, Elaine Low; Treasurer, Lynnette Reeter; and Sponsor, Mr. H. O. Petty. We “Sophisticated Seniors” entered school September 3, 1947. Five students had left our class. Our officers were: President, Shirley Walton; Vice-President, Joe Hene- berry; Secretary, Ella Mae Moon; Treasurer, Wayne Shelton; and Sponsor, Miss Gene- rose Dunn. Miss Dunn also directed our Senior Play, “Maid To Order.” The actors were: Jack Bone, Betty Wicker, Wayne Shelton, Joe Heneberry, Betty Goddard, Ella Mae Moon, Lynnette Reeter, Joan Younger, Elaine Low, Lawrence Brown and Shirley Brown. Everyone enjoyed it immensely. Our Senior class is sponsoring the first B. T. H. S. Annual, “Reverie.” Our boys were prominent in sports. The football stars were James Goetz, Lawrence Brown, Bill Scribner, Bill Sutton, Joe Heneberry, Joe Foster, Bob Cook, and Clem Goddard. The basketball whizes were James Goetz, Bill Sutton, Jack Bone, Lawrence Brown, Clem Goddard and Joe Heneberry. We are now looking forward to the Annual, Senior Night, our Senior Trip to Chi- cago, and our Junior-Senior Prom, when we will once again don our formals and tuxedoes and wait to be carried away in our glass chariots or maybe a model “T.” We want to thank the entire faculty for making our high school days as pleasant as they have been, and we wish them and our classmates all the luck in the world.

Thirty-two VA’AV«V AVAVW-bA .W bV.'.W AW AVAV Ab.V -,J,AWi We, the Senior Class of 1948, having struggled through these four long years, do hereby, in the presence of all the other inmates, make our last will and testament. Jack Bone leaves his ability to imitate girls to Herbert Majors, who is anything but a woman. Shirley Brown wills her deep, drawn-out voice to Joy Clark to eliminate all those squeaks. Lawrence Brown leaves his energetic ways to Douglas Keown hoping he will “loosen up those joints.” James (Bud) Clark bequeaths his ’38 “Chevie” to Bob Younger so he won't be too hard on their new Chrysler. Irma Lee Cruse wills her quiet ways to Leona Campbell, wishing her the best ot luck with them. Bob Cook leaves his vocabulary of slang expressions and deep voice to Bob Austin hoping he’ll say something we can understand. Joe Foster wills his bouncing, jolly ways to J. Ronald Perisho, an entirely different red-head. With her compliments, Betty Goddard leaves her everlasting expressions and cute hairdos to Marjorie Bartimus. James Goetz wills his speed and good track form to Howard Majors; make the best of it Howard! Joe Heneberry bequeaths his ability to tackle in football to Darrell Perisho so that he may be able to bolster Bethany’s lines in the future. Elaine Low leaves her trim figure as band majorette to Valette Stables, so she may follow in her steps next year. Clem Goddard wills his physique to John LaCost so he too can make the gals swoon. Ella Mae Moon leaves her dramatic ability to Nellie M. Burrows. Don’t let the school down, Nellie. Lynnette Reeter wills her gracefulness and quietness to Wanda Wright so she can come down to earth and be herself. Wayne Shelton leaves his ability to make good grades to Robert Keown so he can leave too, someday. Joan Stocks wills her ability to talk to Mary Ruth Wheeler with the desire that she may say something sometime. Bill Sutton bequeaths his quiet ways to Bob Cordts so that he may learn to con- trol his giggling. Shirley Walton leaves her qualities of leadership to Evelyn Sutton so she may take an interest in the Home Ec. meetings. Joan Younger leaves her neat and feminine ways to Betty Cruse so she may “straighten up and fly right.” Ted Lesley wills his bookkeeping ability to Phil Phillips so he may have some- thing that may pull him through.

Seems like only yesterday when we were in good ole B. T. H. S. with sweating brows and tired brains hoping to pass with flying colors that last exam that would enable us to say good-bye to the hard work that had brought us through those four long years. As I look over the different parts of the world from my little helicopter, I see my old classmates doing various things. Bill Scribner is making his living by being a tight-rope walker in the Ringling Bros. Circus. He seldom gets all the way across the rope but he gives the audience quite a thrill by falling into the net. The circus is playing in Bethany next week at the Central Park playground. Joan Younger and her four kids are now touring the world with a well-known band leader. She always gets on the front row and tries very hard to keep her rambunctious family under control. Lee thinks it’s very distracting and wishes Joan would stay home but she absolutely refuses. Joe Heneberry is still in College—not because he’s too dumb to graduate but be- cause he wants to stay and play football. They’re beginning to become suspicious, however, because he’s been on the team for the past eighteen years. Shirley Brown has been married for nineteen years now and is endeavoring to raise her triplet boys with an iron hand. So far, they’re not responding to their mother’s threats and are determined to become outlaws like the James’ and will be known as the “Moon Boys.” Lawrence Brown is running a show boat on Lake 15. Anytime of the night you stop there, you will hear blasts of music, complete with the worlds most beautiful singing and dancing girls. Lawrence, a big time operator, dressed as only the best dress, enjoys life immensely and is determined to stay single always. The former Elaine Low and her husband. Joe, are now in Hollywood. Since Jose Iturbi isn’t as good as he used to be, Elaine is his assistant and stands patiently be- side him turning his music. She hopes for a chance to play someday but so far none will listen to her. James (Bud) Clark has made good in Chicago driving a taxi-cab. He’s afraid his ’38 Chevie won’t hold out much longer though, after screeching around corners, stop- ping on dimes, and banging anyone in his way while he turns to whistle at a pretty girl. He says business is falling off too—and he can’t imagine why! Joan Stocks has been teaching the first grade in Bethany Grade School for fifteen years now and even though she’s still young, her hair is beginning to turn gray. Poor Joan! Last time I saw her she was chasing one of the worst students around and around the school house. She keeps saying she’s going to quit but never has yet. Lynnette Reeter is now in South America singing torchy Latin-American songs to an audience of sleeping music-lovers. Her voice is as good as it was 20 years ago but she has never found a listener who cares to listen to her croonings. Even sitting on some of their laps and singing right in their faces has never aroused any of them. Leave it to Lynnette! Bill Sutton is constructing the largest bridge ever to be built in the world. One hundred and thirteen men fell off and met their doom one day and Bill never knew what had happened until the hammering stopped and he found himself alone. How- ever, he has continued his work patiently and if you’re passing by the little creek south of Bethany, you’ll find him, just a little black speck in the sky, working on a bridge that only Bill Sutton could devise.

STUDENT COUNCIL F. H. A. F. F. A. Forty-six (Continued from Page Forty-five) Betty Goddard is a roving reporter for the Bethany Echo and takes any kind of unusual picture. She is really all out for it too, and would do anything for a picture, including climb trees, hang from bridges, and ride wild horses. She won first prize in a contest of unusual pictures quite by accident when she turned the camera the wrong way and took a picture of herself instead of her subject. James Goetz, the ladies man of B. T. H. S. ,has become the world’s greatest bigamist. Instead of marrying the limit of one girl, he married 48—one from each state and is now residing in Bluebeard’s Castle in No-Man’s land. Goetzie” is a very important person and has a time with all his wives. He thinks he should join the Navy but his 48 wives have something to say about that! Junior Goddard and his wife have settled in Arkansas and between raising razor- back hogs and their six kids, they’re having a gay old time. Margie has quite a time with Junior because he’s determined to get his share of moonshine, and spends most of his time at the still. Sometimes he doesn’t come home for about a week. Ted Lesley worked for the Marve Breakfast Food Company in Bethany until last week he made the mistake of eating Kellogg’s Boopsies” on the job. The last few weeks he’s been sitting out in the front of the store choking down boxful after boxful of Marvo” but so far the boss hasn’t forgiven him enough to take him back. Shirley Walton quit teaching Home Ec. several years ago and has become a full- fledged housewife. She has a time, however, with her five red-haired boys, who are to become football stars, and you’ll usually find her in a dither running from one to the other to keep them out of mischief. They insist upon playing football w tih their father in the front room and Shirley wonders if she’ll ever get any more furniture in place of that which they have torn up. Irma Lee Cruse has been working for one of the largest manufacturing plants in Chicago for 19 years and is really going places. The boss says she’s doing so well in fact that he’s going to promote her from scrubbing floors to washing windows. You can see that she’s the boss’s favorite! Wayne Shelton, that mad musician of B. T. H. S. is now in Chicago. The last time I saw him he was standing on the corner with a monkey on his shoulder and a hand organ in his hand, playing one of the most jazzy” tunes I had ever heard. He said he finally got tired of playing the piano and thought he’d try something new. Bob Cook is really going places in the world. He began as a mechanical engineer and the boss finding he wasn’t mechanically inclined fired him. Now he s spending his time traveling and though the cattle car isn’t the most luxurious place from which to see the world, he is perfectly happy. He says money always did worry him and now he hasn’t a worry in the world. I caught a glimpse of Joe Foster running around a bam north of Bethany chasing a pig. He dived for it, missed, and jumped up stomping for all he was worth—he had fallen in the middle of a huge mud-puddle. Joe looks the part of a typical farmer and outside of his herd of cows and all his pigs, he has a family of six little red-headed boys to keep him extra busy. Jack Bone has been driving a truck back and forth from Tennessee to Illinois for several years now and would have a swell business if his family didn t always go along and clutter up his truck with personal belongings making it impossible for him to haul anything else. He’s been trying to find them a place to live somewhere in Tennessee but there’s a housing shortage in the mountains too. PROPHECY VV,AV«VA%VW.

ELAINE LOW The plot concerned a young husband who was fed up with the way his wife’s titled cousins from England kept staying in his house. He was certain that they were fakes and hired a private detective to check up on them. Then he thinks they were escaped criminals using his house as hide-away. He got his college chum to imper- sonate a maid and hoped in this way to get the goods” on his unwelcome visitors. A mix-up follows when his wife mistakes Come-on Kate, a gangster’s moll, for the new maid and put her to work. And Ronald has to stand by in his maid’s uniform and watch his rival make love to his best girl. By the end of the third act all is well. The class presented their sponsor-director, Miss Dunn, with a handbag. JUNIOR PLAY The Campbells Are Coming by Jay Tobias Ma Brannigan, who lives for her grandchildren ....................

Kathryn Shelton was perfectly cast as the mountaineer grandmother; our versatile Heneberry twins—Dave, as the deep-voiced, cantankerous suitor for Ma’s hand, and Don, as the perfect idjit”—convinced the audience that they are able actors; Wanda was such a capable hillbilly gal that we suspect she has lived in those Ozarks; Norma had her hide-under-the-table role per- fect; Bob played his part well as the aloof suitor for the hand of Avis who was all that a sophisticated young lady could be. James Sharp, as the filthy hillbilly with a liking for likker,” did well. Jim Walton, in spite of his heart turning hand-springs over his lungs, finally wins the girl which was easier accomplished after the arrival of the socially prominent Loretta. Loud and long were the praises of the audience for all ten of these chcaracters. The class gave their director, Miss Dunn, a large piece of matching luggage.
