= 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

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 The young Stables girl, Valette is her name. Who peddles the Herald-Review, Getting the money you already owe Or trying to make you renew. Bequeaths her innate business sense To brother Tom with compliments. In this way she shows what everyone knows To be undeniably true — — Keeping a job in the family is always the right thing to do. Avis Marlow runs the switchboard After school and in the summer. Her name is held in high repute For getting the right number. She leaves the board to Joy Clark While she goes to Decatur Because somebody told her she s a Big Time Operator. Don Heneberry has something that's very Outstanding he wants to bequeath He's in quite a lather because he would rather Give up his right arm or eye teeth But it must be allowed that 3 is a crowd So he's giving his brother the gate For Donald you see Always wanted to be Alone with a girl on a date. Dave Heneberry had made so much merry In circles scholastic and social; But his outstanding ability in his football agility. Which is well-known from here to Kenoshal. So he leaves it today to a lad, we must say. Has plenty of guts on his own; For chasing the gals, double-crossing his pals. And taking out any old crone. So send out a feeler, and tell “Slick Jim Wheeler Of what he has just fallen heir to. But slip it to him slow, 'cause we really don t know Whether or not he will care to. Once upon a time there was a girl named Mary Grace Whose qualities of leadership won her an honored place As F. H. A. State President, a job she didn t shirk. She gives the credit to her folks for teaching her to work. This brings to a conclusion the fable we've prepared Of Mamma Baird and Poppa Baird and Little Gracie Baird. Bethany High School - 1949
