The REVERIE Sestivi On August 20, 1945, twenty-nine ambitious Freshmen entered Bethany Town- ship High School. Several weeks after school had started, the following were elected class officers: Dave Heneberry, President; Avis Marlow, Vice-President; Wanda Wright, Secretary-Treasurer; Miss Marjorie Scott, Sponsor. Kathryn Shelton was elected from our class to be a cheerleader. One exciting day of that year was that of initiation. The upperclassmen painted us with lipstick. They had us doing little chores for them, such as carry- ing their books, scrubbing the sidew'alks and so forth. The Sophomores gave us a welcoming party at the high school gym. We gave them a party later in the year. By the end of the school year our class had dwindled down to twenty-seven members. We lost Carrol Marshall and Kenneth McGee during that school year. September 2, 194b, soon came rolling around, ending our long summer vaca- tion. We entered B. T. H. S. as Sophomores, with a class of twenty-six. Officers of our Sophomore class were elected several weeks after school had started. We elected: Jim Walton, President; Mary Grace Baird, Vice-President; Norma Tip- sword. Secretary; Wanda Wright, Treasurer; Mrs. Mclllwain, Sponsor. Wanda Wright was elected from our class as a cheerleader. We gave the “Freshies a welcome party which they returned later in the year. On Initiation Day we had a great time. We gave the Freshmen the same medicine that we had endured the year before. During that year we lost several “Sophies . They were Anna Jane Dick, Wilma Miller, and Bernetta Patient. We gained a new student, Glen Heckler. On September 1, 1947, twenty-four brilliant-looking Juniors started back to school after a wonderful summer vacation. During our vacation we lost one prospective Junior, Bob Johnson, who moved to Assumption, but we gained Kenneth McGee and Ardith Clark. Several days after school had started, we gained another Junior, Virginia Osburn. At the first of the school we elected the class officers for our Junior year. Those elected were: Jim Walton, President; Kathryn Shelton, Vice-President; Dave Heneberry, Secretary; Avis Marlow, Treasurer; Mr. Voyles, Sponsor. At a later meeting we elected our Student Council members. They were Mary Grace Baird and Don Heneberry. Jim Sharp was chosen by the teachers. Cheerleaders elected from our class were Wanda Wright and Kathryn Shelton. Since we Juniors had to make money, we managed the concession stand at the football and basketball games. We also sold candy at the noon hour. Another way we made money was by selling magazine subscriptions. The two team captains were Don Heneberry and Charles Francis Clarke. Wanda Wright was chosen as manager. Don Heneberry's team won. We made approxi- Bethany High School - 1949 ---
