The REVERIE Myrta Scott is a girl we admire For her willingness and her simplicity She wishes to leave the aforementioned traits To a fellow of great eccentricity This lad, Herbert Majors Will take any wagers That he's the most daring of climbers by far And can win any race in his twenty-nine car. A girl we haven't mentioned is one Glyndola Scott. When it comes to playing drums she plays them fast and hot. Her paradiddle patterns make the people stop and stare As she beats out snappy rythms on both kettledrum and snare. To David Wimmer she bequeaths her expert sense of rhythm. So when the High School band parades and David marches with em His mother won't poke daddy and say Look how they behave. Everybody in the band is out of step but Dave. That dashing clown named Robert Keown Whose magnetic sex appeal Causes girls to sigh as he rumbles by On a bus with his dad at the wheel Leaves his masculine charm (It will do him no harm) To a boy who likes people in dresses. And now LeRoy Tinnea will have a great many Romances. They'll all be successes. Kenneth McGee has requested of me that I leave to some Algebra student His keen head for math, so the student can path Hith examth which he otherwise wouldn't. H.s suggestion seemed good, and I think that I would Have proceeded to do as he said. But a glance that I took showed that Kenneth would look Awfully funny without any head. Charles F. Claik is a suave connoisseur With extremely good taste in the arts. Which I'm sure is the envy of everyone living Both here and in most other parts. His stunning collection of comic-book covers. By Touluose-Latrec and Rousseau Has a value of 8 million, 94 thousand, 5 hundred rasbuckniks, you know. Charles bequeaths this display of fine paintings To Donna Waid so that she may Acquire as much skill in her talent for art As Latrec and Rousseau did, some day. Bethany High School - 1949

= The REVERIE = Seat TOM James Sharp is full of farming plans his agile mind devises. With Chester Whites and Jersey cows he's always winning prizes. He has trophies galore, from ceiling to floor That distract him at night when he studies How to make a calf suck, or pick up a fast buck. From the sale of livestock to his buddies. He wills them away to a small F. F. A. Boy who can't lift big buckets of feed Over fences of wire, so his hogs don t acquire All the nourishment that they would need. Kenny Moore, a young fellow who's lacking in size Is the boy we have reference to. If he grows he can slop all his hogs from the top Of the fence just like other boys do. Loretta LaCost doesn't like being bessed by Principals, teachers, and such The spirit she has can be recognized as Being strong when she lets out her clutch. Oh, Hail to Loretta, whose truculent air Makes the student's load lighter to carry. No teacher dares trod cn cur toes. If they do She will give them a hearty razzberry. She bestows her rare gift on all Juniors So faculty foolishness they can forstall. I really don't guess they will need it. P. S. Loretta's not like that at all. If you're anxious to peek at a handsome physique. Let us recommend Clarence Trulock. His arm has great length and such unyielding strength As a barn door that s held by a new lock. His shoulders are wide and they slant down each side To a waist that is wasp-like and tiny. If you'll look at his knees you will notice that these Are real cute neither knobby nor shiny. Clarence benignly bestows his physique On Bob Boyer. If Bob s, is beset Then the business will stop if they should try to mop Up the floor with Bob Boyer, I 11 bet. Vocabulary builders will be tickled when I tell Of the latest list of words they'd ordinarily misspell. It is unabridged, unbiased, and orthodox as well. It's the Webster's dictionary left by Austin, Robert L. Bethany High School - 1949

= The REVERIE ■ — Ardith Clark is in the dark as to what she ought to leave Behind for underclassmen who would willingly receive Most any one of Ardith's gifts. She seems to have so many. Yet Ardith's modesty, perhaps, is more worth while than any. She leaves that trait to Myron C. — Cribbet's smart and knows it So when his mouth begins to talk. He'll think again and close it. Jim Walton, up until one year ago. Was the bashful, retiring kind. Contrary to rumor he doesn't go out With just any old bag he can find. Nontheless he's a Romeo known far and wide As a guy the girls think is just right. Jimmy leaves all this fame to a cute looking dame That he picked up in Findlay one night. Dubber Cordts is fond of sports But a little bit slow on his feet. In matters athletic it's slightly pathetic When Dubber demands to compete. But his problem was solved when science evolved A thing called the pin-ball machine. Now' he stands in one spot and plays shot after shot With occasional nickels between. He's constantly winning but now he s beginning To tire of this sport he discovered. So he's leaving his skill to Phil Phillips to fill Up the spot where he recently hovered. Next, Norma Tipsw’ord, whose careful attention To any activity that you might mention Bequeaths all this diligence. And her intelligence. Wrapped up in blue ribbons. To David Fitzgibbons. We know a girl whose laugh and charm Are everyone's delight. In case you haven t guessed by now. That girl is Wanda Wright. Because she's very witty. She composed a little song; And she gives Bob Cook this ditty Called “With Wright You Can't Go Wrong '. Bethany High School - 1949
